inexhaustible

"Sleep well." I withdrew my hand, turning a deaf ear to his words, leaving a hasty sentence and fleeing away.

I could feel Shang Muxiao's gaze chasing me, wrapping around my body and sticking to the back of my neck.I never looked back, and endured this seemingly substantial gaze until we were blocked by a door panel.

Locking the door, his thumb lightly stroked the scorching skin on his wrist, the temperature belonging to Shang Muxiao still remained on it, vivid and unforgettable.

I gradually tightened my fingers, squeezing the wound under the gauze, and there was a continuous tingling pain in my palm, and my senses quickly overwhelmed the disturbing temperature.

Early the next morning, I woke up feeling exhausted, and Shang Muxiao was still asleep when I went out.

The rain outside stopped in the middle of the night, but the weather was still bad. There were wet spots on the ground, and the air was cold and humid.

The rain in late autumn is the messenger of winter. Every time it comes, it indicates that the winter is getting closer.

When he came back, Shang Muxiao should have left too.

The whole day's class was supported by Yu Xixi's espresso Americano, but in the afternoon, the power of caffeine was greatly reduced after the continuous effect.After so many years of teaching, I was in a daze halfway through my first class.

Unexpectedly, Shang Muxiao's voice sounded in my mind, repeating what he said to me last night.

"Hokuta, you can be my jewel..."

Why can you take such things for granted?Anyone can be a gemstone, can they be a gemstone if they want to?

"……division?"

"teacher!"

I put my soul and body back in place, and saw the puzzled faces of the students, who didn't understand why I had to stop at such a place.I wanted to continue as if nothing had happened, but I completely forgot where I was talking about before.

"Take a break for 10 minutes." Turning off the portable microphone, I came to the podium, unscrewed the thermos cup and took a big gulp of black coffee. The bitter taste extended from the tip of my tongue to my throat and then into my stomach.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but for a moment, my brain seems to be less drowsy.

"Brother Bei, are you okay?" Yu Xixi ran up to care about me, glanced at the coffee in my cup, frowned, and said, "You drank a lot of coffee today, didn't you sleep well last night? Usually you Do not drink these things."

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well." I rubbed my temples, closed my eyes and calmed down, and didn't say much.

No matter how good Yu Xixi's imagination is, it's hard to imagine the excitement of my weekend.

"Shang Lu's sons have not come recently." Yu Xixi said regretfully.

I opened my eyes and looked at her silently.

Yu Xixi turned around after realizing that I was looking at her, and suddenly blushed: "Why, people also like to look at handsome guys... Among the second-generation stars who are about the same age as him, he is the one who wants to be tall and tall. He has good looks, and many people expect him to join Shang Lu's class in the entertainment circle."

As for Shang Muxiao, I don't think about it now if I can, and I don't mention it if I can't mention it, so I didn't express my opinion too much, but just said "oh" briefly.But Yu Xixi seems to have misunderstood the meaning of my "oh", thinking that I was questioning her, and insisted on breaking it with me.

"No, there are really many people who are optimistic about him. He had a picture that went out two years ago, and now he will be pulled out by the marketing account every now and then to attract attention." Yu Xixi took out his phone and rummaged through it, "Here, this is this one. "

She handed me the phone, and I took a look, and I just ran into a pair of familiar and unfamiliar eyes in the photo.

Black and white tones, open-air environment, string lights and a corner of an outdoor umbrella are vaguely shown in the background.The light and shadow are just right, so that the boy with sharp eyebrows and eyes in the picture reveals a clean temperament similar to cedar.

He was wearing a light-colored sweater, and his hair was cut neatly, fully revealing his superior facial contours.Maybe I just inadvertently felt that I was being watched by someone, so I glanced at the camera at random, and finally asked the sneak photographer to take a straight shot.The expression is still natural and casual, but there is a cold light in the eyes.

"This kind of high-definition face-to-face photo can be taken so beautifully, isn't it so temperamental? I remember that when this photo first came out, many people thought it was a pathfinder for Shang Muxiao to enter the entertainment industry. There is no news for two years, except for this photo and only this photo." Yu Xixi said and shook his head, "If he really wanted to enter the entertainment industry, he would have gone to the Drama Academy a long time ago. Entered the finance department. It is true that the son inherits the father's business, but he must inherit the family business, so how can he go to filming. But in this way, his personality of being a schoolmaster is completely established, and the favorability of passers-by It's even higher."

Where would a true scholar let himself fail a subject.

I was noncommittal to Yu Xixi's exaggerated description. When I returned her phone, I clicked somewhere. The screen returned to the album list of the previous level, showing other photos except Shang Muxiao's photo.

The other photos are still Shang Muxiao's.

There are about [-] or [-] photos in the whole album, from different angles at different times, it seems that they were secretly taken in class.

I looked at Yu Xixi without saying a word.

She quickly snatched back the phone, and said with an embarrassed expression, "No, I have two sisters, and I really like him, so I took pictures for them."

I nodded: "Oh."

"..."

Yu Xixi looked like she was about to go crazy: "No, really, Brother Bei, you believe me, I really have two sisters! They forced me, and I don't want to! Believe me!"

When I got off work, I was about to drive home when a message from Shen Luoyu came, asking me where I was.

on the way back home.

After returning, I started the car and left the school gate. After a while, my phone vibrated again. It seemed that Shen Luoyu had replied to the message.

I didn't watch it, I planned to go back home.It didn't take long for the phone to ring, and there was a call.

I took it for granted that it was Shen Luoyu who didn't wait for my reply to call, so I connected the car bluetooth without thinking.

"When will you be home?"

When the deep and hoarse voice came from the speaker, the car body shifted about ten centimeters to the right uncontrollably, and I quickly returned to the original position.

My heart was beating violently, I glanced at the number on the smart screen, it was indeed Shang Muxiao.

"Have you left yet?"

He said weakly: "I slept for a whole day, and I was so weak that I couldn't eat. Your medicine didn't work. I seem to still have a fever."

Hearing this, I frowned, and said, "I've hung your clothes on the balcony, check to see if they're dry, change them when they're dry, and I'll be home right away..."

"You want to drive me away?" Cai Cai's coquettish tone suddenly changed, and his temperature dropped sharply.

I paused, and kept telling myself that he was a patient, and I had to be considerate. After finishing the psychological training, I patiently explained to him: "My medicine doesn't work, you need to go to the hospital for emergency treatment."

There was silence, only the sound of light breathing.

I haven't waited for him to reply for a long time, I was afraid that he would faint suddenly, so I called him eagerly: "Shang Muxiao?"

"Yeah." He responded quickly, "Then I'll wait for you to go home."

Arriving home faster than usual, when I entered the elevator, I suddenly remembered Shen Luoyu's message that I hadn't returned yet. I took out my phone and looked at the content, and my whole brain buzzed.

I have something to bring to you, don't worry, drive slowly, I'll go into the house first, and we'll have a quick meal together in the evening.

Shen Luoyu has the password of my home's electronic lock, and sometimes she comes to deliver things to me. If I'm not there, she will just put the things in the house before leaving.

The elevator door opened slowly, and the door of the house was right in front of me, but I didn't have the courage to open it.

He tried his best to recall whether he saw Shen Luoyu's car in the parking garage, but found nothing.

I hope she doesn't have me soon...

Press the fingerprint lock with your finger, and with the electronic female voice of "the door is open", the door lock opens.

The door opened little by little, and the two figures standing in the living room looked over one after another.

I'm still not faster than Shen Luoyu.

But why I'm afraid that she will see Shang Muxiao, I don't know why.

Shang Muxiao and I are innocent no matter what angle we look at. When most people see a single man with another young man of the same sex in his family, they will not easily think about things other than relatives and friends.

I just stayed with him for one night, and I didn't sleep with him, so why should I feel guilty?

"Uh, I didn't know you had guests here." Shen Luoyu lifted the bag on the handle and said, "Someone gave my mother a piece of bacon, and she asked me to bring you some. This is..."

She seemed to have just arrived, and she didn't even have time to put down the meat.

Shang Muxiao and I looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time.

"he is my friend."

"I'm his student."

I groaned inwardly, not really wanting to see Shen Luoyu's expression.At the same time, it is fortunate that Shang Muxiao has changed back to his own clothes, otherwise the matter would be even more unclear.

"You go downstairs and wait for me first." I said to Shang Muxiao.

I don't know if it's because of his illness or the presence of a third person, but he was very obedient today, he nodded slightly when he heard the words, and went out without saying a word.

The door closed again, and the next second, Shen Luoyu raised her voice slightly and said in surprise: "Student?"

"Forgetting friends."

Shen Luoyu's expression became a little speechless.

I looked at her for a moment, and added: "Yang Haiyang's girlfriend's younger brother."

Shen Luoyu also knew Yang Haiyang, but she was not that familiar, and she didn't know the other party's love life.

"Well, let me tell you why you suddenly have such a wrong friend." She seemed to accept this statement.

She went to the kitchen with the bag and stuffed things into the refrigerator for me.

I told her that I would go out with Shang Muxiao right now, and I might not be able to have dinner with her.She waved her hand and didn't care, she just thought it was me and Shang Muxiao who made an appointment first.

"You can do whatever you want. I'll use your kitchen to cook a meal, and I'll leave when I'm done."

I was a little embarrassed and said: "Okay, I will treat you to dinner next time."

When I got down to the parking garage, I started looking for Shang Muxiao as soon as I got out of the elevator, but I couldn't see anyone else when I looked around.

Finally, I went to the front of the car and saw that he was leaning against the car door, squatting on the ground, with his hands in his coat, probably still feeling uncomfortable, and his eyes were closed.

Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, his eyelashes trembled, and he raised his eyelids. When he saw it was me, a dazzling smile gradually appeared on his face.The corners of his lips moved his facial muscles, and the tails of his eyes were pulled up slightly. Just one expression changed his previously unapproachable temperament drastically.

In an instant, he seems to have changed from an untamable wild dog to a domestic dog that obeys human beings. He not only circles around your heels, but also shows his soft belly to you.

"Teacher." He said two words briskly and sweetly to me.

"Am I your friend?"
