You are my proper foothold

"What do you want to talk about?" Hui Xiaoyou sat down diagonally opposite Wei Zhiyu and asked.

Wei Zhiyu stared at him fixedly, and said after a few seconds of silence, "Talk about your feelings for Jiang Xin."

Hui Yue was startled and didn't speak for a while.

Wei Zhiyu still looked at him, observed for a while, and suddenly took a deep breath and let it out, sighing: "It really is like this."

"So what?" Hui Xiaoyou asked.

Wei Zhiyu smiled with a complicated expression, looked at him, "Still pretending?"

"Don't play tricks on me. If you have something to say, don't go around in circles." Hui Xiaoyou decided not to take the initiative to hand over his hole cards.

Of course Wei Zhiyu knew what he was thinking, and smiled again, "Okay, it's best if you don't admit it. Since you don't admit it now, I hope you will be so cautious when facing him in the future."

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help frowning when he heard something in his words. This kind of cloudy way of speaking made him very uncomfortable. It wasn't that his IQ couldn't keep up, but he simply thought that this so-called "unfathomable" was nothing but pretending There is no longer any practical value.

Occasionally everyone gets together and talks like this, and it’s fine to improve the standard, but now he is talking about a very serious matter, and he is very annoyed by saying half a sentence like this, and he can’t wait to open his mouth immediately. But thinking of what he promised Jiang Xin just now, he had to hold back.

"Wei Zhiyu," Yan Xiaoyou said patiently, "I'm not in the mood to play word games with you right now. If you want to say something, say it, and leave if you don't."

Wei Zhiyu probably also saw that Yan Xiaoyou was on the verge of breaking out, so he stopped being a joke, and said bluntly, "Have you fallen in love with Jiang Xin?"

"..."

Hui Yue experienced for a while what it meant to be "a blow to the head".

He thought he was covering it up very well, no one should see it...

Except for Chen Jiashu who said it on his own initiative, there should be no third person in this world who knows about it.

How did Wei Zhiyu see it? ?

Hui Yue felt very terrified in his heart.Because he thought that if even Wei Zhiyu could see it, what about Jiang Xin... Did Jiang Xin see it?

I think should not be……

Hui Xiaoyou thought comfortingly again: he has such a severe cold, how could he tell?His thoughts must be well hidden in front of Jiang Xin, so that he will not be discovered.

"Hey, it took you so long to make up an excuse?" Wei Zhiyu asked at this time.

Hui Xiaoyou was embarrassed when he realized it, and asked in a weak voice, "You took the wrong medicine, what did you say all of a sudden?"

"I said you like Jiang Xin." Wei Zhiyu repeated clearly, "Do you admit it?"

Hui Yue didn't want to admit it, but he also didn't want to deny it.

He didn't want to admit it in front of Wei Zhiyu, but he also didn't want to deny his feelings for Jiang Xin.

Although he has not even told anyone himself now, and he is not sure whether he will tell in the future, but no matter who he faces, no matter what the motive is, denying his feelings will make him feel like betraying the person he likes Feel.

Like, it should be pure, unwavering, even sacrosanct.

Hui Xiaoyou has never been in a relationship before, but this is his understanding of feelings all the time, and it is also the most ideal state in his heart.

No one can blaspheme, not even himself.

So now he is inevitably caught in a dilemma.

It's wrong to say anything, so it's better not to say it.

Wei Zhiyu saw that Hui Xiaoyou in front of him was planning to start a silent countermeasure with him.Seeing him hooking his head and pursing his lips as if unwilling to cooperate, Wei Zhiyu didn't need to ask any more questions, the answer was already obvious.

The two sat silently facing each other for about 5 minutes in a quiet room, and finally Wei Zhiyu said first: "I don't think you are suitable for him."

Hui Xiaoyou's eyes suddenly widened, and then narrowed instantly.

"Why." He looked up and asked.

Wei Zhiyu didn't answer right away, Hui Xiaoyou thought for a while and asked again: "What do you have to do with homosexuality—"

"No." This time Wei Zhiyu answered very simply, "It doesn't matter whether you are gay or straight, I just don't think you two are suitable."

"The reason." Hui Xiaoyou felt very depressed in his heart, making him a little out of breath.

Wei Zhiyu stared at him for a while, but when he opened his mouth, he looked away, "Don't think my words are not pleasant, but in my opinion, the two of you are seriously unequal in your contribution to each other. It was before, and it is now. , it will definitely be the same in the future. I can't just watch Jiang Xin in such an unequal relationship."

"Why do you—" Hui Xiaoyou leaned forward and almost shouted, but after a few words, he held back, sat back in frustration, and said in a low tone, "Maybe it was like this before, but it won't happen in the future." Yes. It's too arbitrary for you to say that now."

"Really?" Wei Zhiyu turned his gaze back, "Then tell me, did you not realize that you like him until I asked you just now?"

"……no."

Wei Zhiyu: "Since it's not, then I should understand that you have been aware of this matter for a while, right?"

Hui Xiaoyou thought for a while, he really realized that it was last night, 24 hours had passed, that should be considered "a while", so he nodded.

Wei Zhiyu had an expected expression on his face, and looked at Hui Xiaoyou with more complaints in his eyes, and said in a stern tone: "You haven't shown it to him when you know that you already like him." If you show enough concern, how can you make me believe that you will change in the future? Can you really treat him well? Can you do it? Just talk about who won’t, and the final result is that only he is the one who pays. side."

"..."

Hui Xiaoyou was obedient and heard this, although he still felt guilty towards Jiang Xin in his heart, he was already very angry with Wei Zhiyu.

He couldn't help but look at Wei Zhiyu, and said with a strong anger: "Even if I admit that what you said is not completely wrong, but Wei Zhiyu, don't you think you care too much? I know you care about Jiang Xin, but no matter how much you care, you should There is a limit! Who wants to like him, who will he be with, what do these things have to do with you?! Can you interfere!"

"Of course it has something to do with me! I'm his best friend!" Wei Zhiyu's voice became louder again.

Hui Xiaoyou felt more depressed in his heart, but on the surface he sneered, "A best friend also has things out of his control, not to mention that you have crossed the line a long time ago, you are more worried than other parents, so why don't you ask Jiang?" Would you like to be forced to 'relate' by you like this?!"

"How do you know that he doesn't want to!" Wei Zhiyu blushed, left the sofa and rushed to Hui Yue to pinch his shoulders, "Do you think you know him well? You are far behind me!"

"So what!" Hui Xiaoyou stood up abruptly and threw him away, he could see that he couldn't bear it any longer, he grabbed Wei Zhiyu's collar and said word by word: "What I didn't understand before, I will understand everything clearly in the future. I didn't understand before He did it, and I will try my best to do it in the future. Wei Zhiyu, I will tell you today that I like Jiang Xin. As for whether he can accept me, that is his business, and whether I want to continue to like him is mine. In addition to this, there is the most important point, that is, neither of these two things has anything to do with your fart."

Wei Zhiyu was completely stunned, he froze on the spot for a long time without saying a word.

Hui Xiaoyou stared at him fixedly, he didn't expect that he would say everything in a hurry.These words would be absolutely embarrassing in normal times, but at this moment, the effect was surprisingly good, at least he achieved the achievement of making him face up to his inner desires.

Wei Zhiyu stood silently for a while, and suddenly sat sideways beside him, with a particularly lonely expression.

"Hey, you got hit?" After Hui Xiaoyou vented his anger, Wei Zhiyu didn't feel so disgusting anymore.

Wei Zhiyu ignored him, and stared at his crossed hands with his head hooked.

"Look at your angry little daughter-in-law, do you really think of yourself as a child bride?" Hui Xiaoyou patted him on the shoulder.

Wei Zhiyu shook his shoulders lightly, moved his butt a foot away, but still refused to speak.

Hui Xiaoyou was very familiar with his awkward character, sat aside and said, "Again, if you are a child bride, then am I not the main wife? Is it legal for you to argue with me so much just now?" ?”

Wei Zhiyu raised his head and stared at him abruptly, Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help but smirked, "Why, you really want to rebel? Don't accept it? Hold on!"

Wei Zhiyu blushed, took a deep breath, "Shut up."

"I won't." Hui Xiaoyou approached him with a smile, and Wei Zhiyu immediately moved away. Hui Xiaoyou simply sat over and grabbed his arm and stalked him, saying, "When you threatened me just now, I was afraid." I didn't tell you to shut up, now Feng Shui is turning, you'd better bear it."

"you--"

"What, what, what are you doing!" Hui Xiaoyou purposely became drunk, he did drink a little too much today, but he hadn't cared about getting drunk before, and now he finally let go and fell on Wei Zhiyu's body. Get up, "Second Junior Brother, what do you think you are here today? Just to annoy me?"

"You think I'm crazy!" Wei Zhiyu pushed Yan Xiaoyou away from his body, holding his breath, "If Jiang Xin hadn't told me that you weren't here today and asked me to come and get a few zongzi, I wouldn't have Come to block yourself!"

"Oh, Zongzi!" Hui Yue jumped up, "Then did you get it?"

"Of course not!" Wei Zhiyu rolled his eyes, "I saw Jiang Xin burned like that when I came here, and I was busy taking care of him. I'm not you. I still want to eat at this time!"

Hui Xiaoyou gasped, and sighed heavily again: "Forget it, the quota for today's quarrel has been used up, I don't care about it with you. Let's go and I'll get you zongzi. Get out of here immediately after you're done." .”

Wei Zhiyu: "...you think I love staying here, don't you!" He stood up abruptly, followed Hui Xiaoyou into the kitchen, and asked angrily, "Is it from jujubes?!"

"No, Wuren's." Hui Xiaoyou took out a few zongzi from the refrigerator and threw them into a fresh-keeping bag, and looked at Wei Zhiyu with an expression of "Do you like it or not".

Wei Zhiyu snatched it away angrily, "Wu Ren, your sister! You fucking despise Wu Ren the most! It's no wonder that Jiang Xin can give you Wu Ren!! I'm leaving!!!"

"No." Hui Yue pointed at the door with his arms tied up.

Wei Zhiyu lifted his legs and left, but when he reached the door, he turned around and shouted: "You better treat him better!"

"If you don't leave, I'll let the dog go!" Hui Xiaoyou rushed over, Wei Zhiyu dodged, and when Hui Xiaoyou came over, he was already at the elevator.

Hui Xiaoyou quickly closed the door, fearing that Wei Zhiyu would return to his carbine, he even hung the lock inside.

After finally dismissing this one, he was relieved, his stomach churned and wanted to vomit immediately, Hui Xiaoyou tried his best to hold back, but he couldn't help it anymore, he was afraid that Jiang Xin would hear him, so he opened the door and rushed back to his home, vomited. Come back when it's over.

After tossing through the night until now, the whole person is physically and mentally exhausted.

Hui Yue was still worried about Jiang Xin, so he tiptoed open his door and slipped in quietly. After trying his temperature, it seemed that his body temperature was not so high, and he felt a little relaxed, so he sat down on the single sofa beside his bed, quietly. Jing looked at him.

The phone suddenly vibrated at this moment, Hui Xiaoyou hurriedly covered his pocket, and carefully took it out when he felt that the vibration had stopped, he glanced and found that it was just an advertisement push.But when he was about to put his phone away again, his eyes were fixed on the message Jiang Xin sent him earlier.

If Wei Zhiyu hadn't lied to him, Jiang Xin would have had a severe fever when he sent a message to him, but there was no hint of discomfort in his words.

He also said to wait for him to come back.I'm afraid Wei Zhiyu wants to let him rest, but he is worried because he hasn't returned home yet...

Thinking about it like this, Hui Xiaoyou felt that his eyes became sore.

Wei Zhiyu was right, compared to what Jiang Xin did, he did give too little.

※※※

Hui Xiaoyou didn't go back to his home that night, so he slept on the single sofa in Jiang Xin's bedroom all night.

The next morning Jiang Xin woke up first, and found that Hui Xiao who was sleeping next to her sometimes couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Why did you fall asleep like this..."

Jiang Xin sighed silently, she had nothing to do with this person who couldn't take care of herself.

Jiang Xin got out of bed and hugged Hui Xiaoyou to his bed. She looked at the time and saw that it was only [-]:[-] in the morning. She felt that she was still awake, so she went back to bed and lay outside Hui Yue, pulled up the quilt and put the two of them together. Everyone is covered.

Hui Xiaoyou's arms were not arms, legs were not legs, and now he suddenly felt comfortable. He turned over in satisfaction, hugged the "object" closest to him, and put his legs on it by the way... …

Time flows quietly.

The sunlight penetrated into the room bit by bit through the gaps in the curtains, slowly accumulating the brightness in the room.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Hui Xiaoyou stretched his waist in his sleep, and felt a warm, seemingly soft "thing" in his hand, so he wrapped his hand around it subconsciously. After touching it back and forth twice, my hand suddenly encountered "resistance".

"Hmm..." Hui Xiaoyou felt a little depressed when the comfortable feeling was interrupted inexplicably, he tried to use a little more force, but his hand still couldn't move, as if he was being grabbed by someone.

Wait, got caught?

Hui Xiaoyou suddenly woke up a little bit, and his consciousness came back. He tried to open his eyes with some confusion, and it took several seconds to see clearly what the "thing" in front of him was.

"...Jiang, Jiang Xin?!" Hui Yue was startled awake in an instant.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was lying in Jiang Xin's arms, the two of them were very close together, and one of his hands was still on her body, but now it was firmly held down.

Hui Xiaoyou didn't take off his clothes when he went to sleep last night, but Jiang Xin's upper body was naked, which made it easy for Hui Xiaoyou to see where his hands were.

"..." He understood why he was stopped just now.

Seeing that he was awake, Jiang Xin looked over, her expression was strange, her face was a little red, and she called out in a hoarse voice, "Senior Brother..."

Hui Xiaoyou stared at him in a daze, and after a long while, suddenly withdrew his hand, followed by a difficult "flipping somersault" from the bed to the ground, took two steps back with bare feet and stammered, explaining: " Um...sorry...I probably drank too much last night...I was, I was sleeping here—” Hui Xiaoyou pointed to the single sofa, “—but I don’t know how, how I ended up on your bed It's..."

"I carried you up." Jiang Xin straightened her expression at this moment, she managed to get back to normal, but her voice was still hoarse, "Brother, don't be nervous, I didn't do anything to you."

"I know..." Hui Xiaoyou looked at him with a guilty conscience, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

"Are you afraid of what you will do to me?" Jiang Xin blinked and said it for him.

Hui Yue's expression froze, then he nodded in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, not yet." Jiang Xin didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she glanced at the part below her abdomen that was blocked by the quilt, and the next half sentence was meaningful, "But soon."

"...Hurry up, what's the matter..." Hui Xiaoyou's heart was pounding in his chest, he watched Jiang Xin get off the bed and walk towards him, he didn't even dare to breathe, as if he was worried It's as if I can be broken if I take a breath.

Jiang Xin was already standing in front of him, her eyes were deep, and there seemed to be countless emotions and words precipitated in them.

He stared at him for a while, then asked, "Brother, do you have something to say to me?"

"Ah...?" Hui Xiaoyou's whole body froze and didn't dare to move.

Jiang Xin looked at him, and suddenly the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "Just last night, when I was not fully asleep, I seemed to hear you telling him something about me. Can you tell me now, you and What did he say?"

Hui Xiao's hairs stood on his head for a moment, he nervously jumped out the word "I—" when the phone suddenly rang loudly.

What an inopportune moment.

At that moment, both Yan Xiaoyou and Jiang Xin read this sentence from each other's eyes.

However, even if it is not the right time, the call must still be answered.

Hui Xiaoyou dodged Jiang Xin's gaze and jumped to the bedside to pick up the phone. Seeing that it was actually a call from the vice president of the Economic Research Center of G University, he couldn't help but feel strange. He pressed the call and said: "Hi, Chen Dean, hello."

"Xiaoyou, did you have a good Dragon Boat Festival? Did you travel somewhere?" Dean Chen usually knew Yan Xiaoyou quite well, so he spoke more casually.

Hui Xiaoyou: "Very good, I didn't go anywhere, resting at home. What do you want from me?"

"Well, there is something quite sudden, and I want to ask you for help." Dean Chen paused, and continued: "That's right, you know that the center has a 'Sunshine Project'? Several remote mountainous areas were tied up, and the teachers of our center were sent to the localities to provide economics training for people with a certain level of education, teachers, and rural cadres there, helping them improve their understanding of economic knowledge and broaden their knowledge in this field. knowledge, so that the mountain economy can achieve better development under the leadership of these people."

Hui Xiaoyou had heard about this when he first entered the center, so he nodded and said, "I know about this project, Dean, are you calling to send me there?"

Dean Chen seemed to hesitate for a moment, paused for a moment before humming and said: "You shouldn't be the one to go, but the teacher we sent to the mountainous area of ​​L City was sent back yesterday because of a broken bone. It is difficult to find a suitable replacement candidate, so I thought of you. Because the conditions in L City are extremely difficult, young teachers are given priority. But it is summer vacation, and there are not many young teachers left in the center. There are a few who are in charge of holding summer courses and can't get away, you see..."

"I understand." Hui Xiaoyou heard Dean Chen's embarrassment, and couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why are you being polite with me, I'll go."

Dean Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. The time may take about two months, and the longest is no more than three months. You will be asked to come back to class in September. Do you think this will work?"

Hui Xiao couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xin when he heard this, but he answered without hesitation: "No problem. When do you need me to go over?"

"The sooner the better, if it's convenient, tomorrow?" Dean Chen inquired.

"Okay." Hui Xiaoyou agreed, "Send the relevant materials to my email, I'll take a look today and leave tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." After finishing speaking, Dean Chen instructed a few words such as "pay attention to safety and health", and then hung up the phone.

Hui Xiaoyou put down his phone, and when he looked back at Jiang Xin, he knew that he had thought of the same thing as himself.

The topic just now is no longer suitable to continue.

No matter what he wants to say, and no matter what Jiang Xin wants to hear, it is not an appropriate time to choose before this time when he will be away for two or three months.

If both parties have the same heart, then they will face separation just after confessing their love, Hui Xiaoyou is afraid that if he speaks out, he will be reluctant to leave.

And if the two have different intentions, they will separate after talking about such a sensitive topic and cannot resolve the embarrassment. The separation of more than two months has become an escape, and escape will never solve the problem.Hui Xiaoyou didn't want the situation to develop beyond his control because of this forced escape.

So, we can only wait for him to come back.

Jiang Xin had already dressed quietly.

Hui Xiaoyou looked at him, although he knew that he had already heard part of the content, he still took the initiative to explain: "Our vice president called, because a teacher who participated in the teaching support project suddenly broke a bone, and I need to replace him, so I will leave tomorrow .”

"Well," Jiang Xin nodded, "Where are you going?"

"The mountainous area near L City, I'll know the details after I finish reading the materials." Hui Xiaoyou went over and touched his forehead, and asked, "How do you feel today? Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better." Jiang Xin smiled, and took his hand, "Brother, when you receive the materials, please send me a copy, and I'll take a look too."

"Why, you want to go too?" Hui Yue said jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xin actually nodded, "I can visit you and send some condolences. Besides, if you are accidentally lost in the mountains, I also know where to find you."

"...What do you mean by that, you expect me to throw it away?" Hui Xiaoyou poked him twice, but when he saw him smiling at him, he felt bored, so he withdrew his hand uncomfortably and curled his lips. Said: "I won't tell you anymore, go back to collect emails first, you should have a good rest, and wait for me to buy you food at noon."

The corner of Jiang Xin's mouth raised: "I can do it at noon—"

"Not allowed. Disapproved. Rejected." Hui Xiaoyou uttered three negative sentences in a row, then turned his head when he walked to the door and said, "Be good and wait for me at home. If you dare to cook, just wait for the tiger to show its power."

Jiang Xin smiled helplessly, and finally had no choice but to say hello to Hui Xiaoyou's "threatening" eyes.

Hui Xiaoyou left smiling happily, but when he walked out of Jiang Xin's house and returned to his own home, he stopped smiling.

Jiang Xin watched Hui Xiaoyou leave with a smile, and kept watching his back disappear at the door of her house. The door was closed, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Just one step away, just one step.

But even if there is only one step, Jiang Xin is unwilling to make any mistakes because of her impatience.

Taking that step is actually not difficult, judging from Hui Xiaoyou's various reactions, Jiang Xin is more than [-]% sure that he can accept her.

But don’t be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

Jiang Xin also understands that the strategy he adopts when facing Hui Yue is too conservative.He is obviously a speculator for a living, and his trading style has always been bold and cautious, and brave to take risks.But for the person he likes, for the matter of getting the person he likes to accept him, he doesn't even want to take the slightest risk.

Because this time, there is no stop loss point, no hedging, no risk sharing, and no guarantee.

Once he loses the bet, he will lose all his wealth.

Even if you can start from scratch again, who knows how long it will take.

So be sure.

He must wait until he is ready, thoroughly ready.He wants to let him accept himself without any barriers, so that he won't be at a loss when he hears his confession, and he wants to let him be with him willingly, just like walking through that place together before. Just like the 14 years, the next few 14 years of their lives will also go together.

Therefore, in order to realize this wish, he is willing to wait a little longer.
