please don't look at me

At the dinner table, Ding Sha remained silent. Seeing his uneasy expression, Yu Xin didn't dare to make a sound, and secretly reflected on where she had offended him again.

"I'm done." Ding Sha put down his chopsticks, got up and went into the kitchen with his own bowls and chopsticks.

Yu Xin hurriedly stopped him: "Let me wash it, you leave it first."

Ding Sha silently washed and put away his bowl, sat across from Yu Xin and stared at him.

Yu Xin was stared directly at him, and immediately faltered, he shrank his neck, and whispered: "What, what's wrong?"

"Yu Xin, did you draw the long Weibo cartoon about Q Enterprise?"

Yu Xin's eyeballs rolled, and she said stiffly, "What are you talking about?"

Ding Sha sighed: "I saw the paintings in your room."

"Oh--"

"Why didn't you tell me."

Yu Xin poked the rice in the bowl, and nuzzled her mouth: "It's not a big deal, I'm a user of 'You Listen', so I should do what I can."

Ding Sha rubbed his brows, not knowing how to answer: "Yu Xin, you have done me a great favor again, I don't know how to thank you."

Yu Xin buried her face in the bowl, and replied sullenly, "Don't keep thinking about these—"

Seeing his appearance, Ding Sa couldn't say anything: "Hey, you should eat first, and let's have a good chat after eating."

"Oh."

It was seven o'clock in the evening after Yu Xin had finished his meal. He tidied up the kitchen and sat down on the sofa in the living room - directly opposite Ding Sha.

Ding Sha rubbed his temples sadly, as if he didn't know where to start: "Did you draw it with a small Weibo account? How could there be so many big V retweets?"

Yu Xin put her head down and played with her fingers: "Just, I met a few big boys who learned to paint before, and I sent them a private message to help me forward it... Actually, I contacted two or three people, but I didn't expect to be able to forward it."

"Our company went looking for you later, why didn't you tell me?"

Yu Xin's eyes wandered all over the place: "I'm afraid you'll overthink it."

"what?"

"I said——I'm afraid you'll think about it again, thinking that I want to use this to blackmail you for something in return."

Ding Sha sneered in his heart when he heard the words, thinking that you look innocent, but don't you still want me to give you some "reward" overtly and secretly.

Although not in the traditional sense.

Yu Xin saw that Ding Sha was staring at her and said nothing, so she quickly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, this is over, let's make plans for mountain climbing tomorrow, shall we?"

"……Um."

Well, if that counts as pay.

The two brewed two pots of hot tea, watched a game, and planned tomorrow's route by the way—go out at six in the morning, go down the mountain to eat a special meal at noon, go home in the afternoon to catch up on sleep, and go to the night market to eat skewers in the evening.

"Let's go to Lao Lin's barbecue at the entrance of the night market, my love in high school!" Yu Xin immediately became excited when talking about eating.

Ding Sha said perfunctorily, "Anything you want."

After the game, they watched the variety show for a while, and it was endless, but Yu Xin was laughing like crazy.They sat very close, and Yu Xin's half-length hair always caressed Ding Sha's neck inadvertently.

In the blink of an eye, it was half past ten, Yu Xin turned off the TV, and yawned: "Ah - go to bed early."

Ding Sha suddenly reached out to help him flatten a raised hair on the top of his head.

Yu Xin stayed in place.

But Ding Sha didn't seem to notice it, his hand was still on the top of Yu Xin's head, so that he could understand his mind more clearly.

After a long silence, Ding Sa asked, "Yu Xin, what exactly do you think of me?"

Yu Xin lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, as if she was talking to herself: "That's pretty good."

Ding Sha exerted a little strength, and the other party shrank his neck. He suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, that's the only way... Go to sleep, drink so much tea today, don't suffer from insomnia."

Yu Xin pushed his hand away and gave him a look: "Look at me."

That night, it was Ding Sha who had trouble falling asleep.He went to the toilet at least seven or eight times. He always felt the urge to urinate all the time. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until two or three o'clock in the morning.

"Ding Sha, Ding Sha - are you up yet?" Yu Xin knocked on the door outside.

Ding Sha narrowed his eyes and took out his phone, ah, it's already 05:30.

He was very dizzy, but he insisted on getting out of bed to wash up.

"You are more familiar with the road, you can drive, I'll take a nap for a while." Ding Sha climbed into the co-pilot after explaining, and fell asleep again.

The car swayed for almost an hour before arriving at the destination, Yu Xin reluctantly parked the car, woke up Ding Sha who was half asleep, and helped him get out of the car.

"Haha, who cursed me that I couldn't sleep last night." Seeing Ding Sha leaning on half of her body, Yu Xin was so happy that she was about to pass out.

Ding Sha snorted twice, and finally straightened up: "I'm recharging my energy!"

The two choked each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Walking all the way to the halfway up the mountain, they dully realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, why is there no one there? It's the weekend right."

Ding Sha looked at the phone: "That's right, there were huge crowds of people when there was a fee before, but now that it's free, there are no people?"

There are fewer people and the road is wider, so the speed of going up the mountain is fast. It is estimated that the two-hour journey will end in less than one and a half hours.The two sat in the gazebo on the top of the mountain to rest, Yu Xin swiped her phone and said, "I know why there are so few people, there is a thunderstorm today."

Ding Sha shaded the sun with his hands and looked at the distant sky: "The sky is probably going to change soon, let's go down the mountain now."

Yu Xin was a little sullen: "Uh... well, I forgot to check the weather forecast when I went out, I have to go down as soon as I get up."

Ding Sha patted his head to reassure him: "It's okay, next time we find a good weather, let's watch the sunrise."

"Really?!" Yu Xin stared wide-eyed, and turned her head expectantly.

Ding Sha immediately realized, I'll go... and made a promise to him without anyone noticing.

To be bad.

As expected, when we got down to the middle of the mountain, the sky became dark all of a sudden, the wind got louder, and the rain was about to come.Yu Xin's physical strength was exhausted, and she was panting heavily while walking half-stop, so Ding Su could only wait for him.

"Keep breathing, hold on a little longer, you can rest after going down the mountain." Ding Sha had already heard the faint sound of rain, and couldn't help urging.

"I--"

Before Ding Sha could say anything, a bean-sized raindrop hit the tip of his nose.

With the sound of "crash", accompanied by the muffled thunder in the sky, the rain began to fall.

The mountain road made of stones immediately became slippery. The two were unprepared, not even an umbrella, and could only grope their way down the mountain in the hazy rain.

"Be careful of the slippery road—" Yu Xin reminded from behind.

"Understood—" Ding Sha also replied loudly.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the two drowned chickens returned to the horizon safely.Looking at the small restaurants with closed doors on the street, the two looked at each other for a moment and smiled wryly.

"Let's go home and eat."

The rain was not clean, and it was so hot that one's scalp itched, and the wet clothes stuck tightly to the body, which was not at all uncomfortable.

Squeezing into the house one after the other, everyone wanted to take a shower first, but Ding Sha said politely: "You should take a shower first."

Yu Xin walked into the bathroom with bare feet, then poked her head out again: "How about—"

Ding Sha smiled: "How about I wash it first."

Yu Xin retracted her head discouraged, well, how did you know that I wanted to talk about washing together.

The showers fell intermittently for two hours, and the two people who missed their meal were tired and paralyzed in the living room, and fell asleep after making do with the takeaway.

Yu Xin raised his head, and stuffed his whole body into the soft sofa. He glanced at Ding Sha from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt a warm and tired feeling in his heart.

He didn't seem to do anything, and the person he liked came to him with a smile in the corner of his eyes.It was raining outside the window, and he and he watched the same TV, sat on the same sofa, and ate the same bag of snacks.

Nothing can make me like him more, every bit of the world is adding luster to him, but what impresses me the most is his original appearance.

Ding Sha turned off the TV and went back to the room to rest, Yu Xin was still on the sofa unable to recover for a long time.At that moment, he thought in a trance that they had been together for a long time. The lunch box on the coffee table, the mug in the kitchen, and the crumpled sheets in the bedroom were all so real.

Yu Xin sniffled and burst into tears without warning.

Sentimental, he scolded himself, laughing.

Ding Sha finally slept soundly. When he woke up, it was dark. Yu Xin was on the phone in the living room, and the voice of the call came through the crack of the door vaguely.

"...Oh, I see, I didn't sleep with him! It's alright, alright, I'll call you later." Although it was in a complaining tone, there was an obvious smile on Yu Xin's face.

"What about calling your parents?" Ding Sha lazily opened the door and asked him leaning against the wall.

Yu Xin turned her head away, only to see that he was wearing ill-fitting pajamas, his haircut was horrible, and the tiredness that hadn't dissipated was on his face, he couldn't see the representative image of yesterday's elite at all.

"Are you awake? Do you want to go out and have some skewers!" Yu Xin's mood suddenly soared.

Ding Sha scratched his head: "Is it still raining?"

"No!" Yu Xin replied happily.

The rain has stopped.

"Well...it's delicious. I don't usually take spicy food very much, but I can't enjoy spicy food when I come here!" Yu Xin stuffed his mouth full of meat, puffed out his cheeks and insisted on talking, the pepper noodles stimulated tears in his eyes.

Ding Sha scooped out some eggplant meat with chopsticks, and tasted it: "It's quite delicious."

"Wait until you drop by, and you can buy two cakes at the bakery at the other end for supper."

Ding Sha looked at his shiny lips that seemed to have been coated with lard paste, he was helpless and amused: "You should finish these dishes first."

"Then there's nothing to eat—don't look at me as thin, my appetite is not small!"

Ding Sha's mind was not on food, he asked casually: "By the way, do your parents know that you like men?"

Yu Xin took a sip of her cold drink and was not surprised by this question: "What do you think?"

"Why do I think they seem to know?"

"Well, they know, and they know about me and you."

"What?" Ding Su was really surprised now.

Seeing his misunderstanding, Yu Xin quickly explained: "It's not what you think... I just mentioned to them that I like you."

The last few words of Yu Xin were spoken like mosquitoes, Ding Sha finally figured out that what he meant was liking.

Seeing Ding Sha stunned, Yu Xin continued, "Why, do you find it strange?"

"A little bit, no wonder your mother looks at me strangely..."

Yu Xin didn't care at all: "Hey, she's just like that."

"Your parents...have no objection?"

Yu Xin nodded: "I'm against it. We've been against it for so many years, and we're all tired from fighting."

For a moment, Ding Sha didn't understand how Yu Xin's "many years" was a pun. He just thought that the other party had already come out to his parents, and after so many years, he had already been accepted.

"Your parents are really enlightened." Ding Sha sighed.

Yu Xin took out a piece of paper to wipe off the greasy fingertips, her tone was calm and detached: "It's hard to come to the world for a while, wasting it on whether you like men or women, it's so annoying. To meet someone you like, it's already It's a great luck, don't force anything else."

Seeing that Ding Sha was thinking, he added: "This is what my father said."
