Once upon a time there was a cute boy

Later on, ktv ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, and demons were dancing wildly.

The fat man and the thin man stood on the top and sang love to death, a girl on the left sang in a high voice, and everyone below was chatting and laughing, Lin Shenan sat quietly on the edge and drank a drink, Tang Song stiffly endured the noise attack, turned his head Look at Lin Chen: "After so many years of death, I feel that I can no longer understand you young people."

Lin Chen smiled: "Don't make trouble, not all young people will post on the forum to discuss that kind of... um, topic."

Tang Song approached him: "What topic?"

Lin Chen remembered his previous post on the forum, and couldn't help but turn slightly red in the ears, and moved away from him: "..."

The combined Yangshou and Yinshou ghosts have the face of a city wall, leaning over with a stern face: "But how do you know so clearly, are you secretly watching me while I'm not paying attention?"

"..." Lin Chen lowered his head and drank his drink silently.

The child's red ears and drooping eyes made his liver tremble. Tang Song looked at him with a sly smile.

Xu Jiang, who was sitting in front, raised his head and accidentally saw them, his hands paused, and a dim light flashed in his eyes.

He clenched the wine glass tightly, and his expression froze for a moment. The girl sitting next to him didn't notice anything wrong with him, and picked up the microphone with a smile: "Do you want to sing a song?"

He came back to his senses, smiled, and took the microphone: "Okay."

The two stood up, they looked like a man and a woman, and immediately someone clapped and booed.

They stood up and ordered a song, Faye Wong's "Red Bean".

This used to be Lin Chen's favorite song, but Xu Jiang only sang it to him.

But that was only in the past.

Lin Chen was sitting at the bottom, with the familiar melody in his ears, and the smiling Biren in front of him. He thought he would be particularly sad, but now, somehow, he felt that this was actually not bad.

Tang Song sat behind him and looked at the smile on his lips, with gentle eyebrows and eyes.

The chorus was just a small episode, and it was over, and everyone continued to play around.

Lin Chen drank a lot of drinks, and soon wanted to go to the bathroom. Tang Song originally wanted to go with him, but Lin Chen refused: "I can't see you in the mirror. If someone else sees you, it will be bad."

This reason sounds a bit strange, but it is very reasonable. Tang Song shrugged and had to give up.

As a result, I went to the toilet, but there was no one in it.Lin Chen found a random space and came out to wash his hands after solving the problem, when the toilet door was suddenly opened.

He didn't care, and continued to wash. After washing, he raised his head, and suddenly saw Xu Jiang standing behind him in the mirror in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.

Lin Chen was startled: "You, what's wrong with you?"

"Who is Tang Song?" Xu Jiang said, with a low voice: "You moved away from me for so long, just to live with him?"

"..."

Xu Jiang took a step forward and stood close to him: "Are you and him already together?"

This question was asked a bit abruptly, but Lin Chen didn't realize it. Xu Jiang noticed his silence and felt that he was acquiescing, and his face darkened.

Lin Chen rarely saw him like this, subconsciously wanted to say something, wanted to say something but stopped several times, but still didn't say anything.

What should I say?

Said that he has nothing to do with Tang Song?This is against my will.

Besides, it doesn't seem necessary.

He lowered his head, thinking, when someone grabbed his wrist suddenly.Lin Chen raised his head in astonishment, Xu Jiang narrowed his eyes: "Move back today and stay away from him."

Lin Chen subconsciously withdrew his hand.

He had never been rejected by Lin Chen before. Seeing Lin Chen's resistance for the first time in all these years, Xu Jiang was stunned, his eyes darkened again: "You..."

As soon as I uttered a word, I saw the person who had kept his head down suddenly raised his head, a pair of clear eyes met his, and his voice was very calm: "Xu Jiang, what is your position on me? What about those words?"

Xu Jiang was taken aback.

Lin Chen took a step forward, his eyes were clear: "Or, what kind of identity do you use to say such things to me?"

There was a moment of silence.

Xu Jiang looked at Lin Chen in silence. The familiar face and facial features were still so familiar, how could they have changed? The person he could see whenever he turned his head before, why...had changed?

He looked at Lin Chen, with countless emotions entangled in the depths of his eyes, melting into ink.Xu Jiang just stood there. After an unknown amount of time, he paused and said in a low voice, "You obviously... like me, don't you?"

Lin Chen raised his head abruptly, Xu Jiang looked into his eyes, and for a moment, his heart shrank.

"I never thought that you are such an irresponsible person, Xu Jiang." Lin Chen looked at him: "When you said this, did you ever think about your girlfriend?"

Xu Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

Lin Chen looked at him, and didn't know what mood he was in for a moment. He had mixed feelings and was very complicated.He looked at Xu Jiang for a long time, finally closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xu Jiang, don't blame anyone, in fact, you chose all of this, didn't you?"

The eyes of the person in front of him shrank: "You..."

"In my third year, it was my birthday. I was drunk and you sent me home. I was drunk and told you what I wanted that day, right?" Lin Chen took a step forward and met his eyes.

"……Yes."

Under such gaze, Xu Jiang couldn't tell any lies.

"Actually, if you pretend to be stupid, or directly reject me, I will be sad, but I will definitely not feel particularly...painful." Lin Chen's eyes were very pale: "But, Xu Jiang, the first time you know what I want Two days later, I found a girlfriend and brought her to me, you will never understand how I felt at that time."

Xu Jiang was stunned: "I..."

"That year was the first semester of my junior year, and it was a year and a half since I moved out." Lin Chen lowered his eyes: "You may have forgotten why I can survive after you have a girlfriend."

Xu Jiang opened his mouth in a daze, and then saw the person with warm brows and eyes raised his head, his eyes were light.

"Because that year before the summer vacation, the class went climbing together. You came back and fell asleep. You dreamed in the middle of the night. I don't know what you dreamed. I only know that you cried and said, Lin Chen, I like you."

"..."

"Because of these six words, I thought you just couldn't accept them for a while, but you could always figure them out, so I'll wait."

"But later, when you told me that you planned to live with her, I suddenly understood." Lin Chen's mouth twitched, his voice a little hoarse: "It's not that you can't accept it, nor can you understand it, you're just cowardly."

"You dare not bear the consequences of being with the same sex, so even if you like me, you still choose to be with a girl."

Lin Chen's voice was very soft, without any emotion, but it was enough to make Xu Jiang feel extremely uncomfortable.

He looked at Lin Chen's calm expression, felt a pause in his heart, and couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Lin Chen's wrist: "Lin Chen, I..."

The latter words, but never said again.

Lin Chen looked at his bewildered look, and shook his head: "Look, you have already chosen this path, so it is really meaningless to tell me these things now, Xu Jiang."

Xu Jiang's eyes were a little red.

"You have been with her for almost two years now. She is a very good girl, and you understand it better than anyone else." Lin Chen smiled softly: "I heard that you took her to meet the parents a few days ago. Well, and I have found a... person who is willing to face everything with me, this is a good ending, isn't it?"

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes curled up, and he was still as quiet as before, but his tone was firm: "So, let go, Xu Jiang."

Moderate people become persistent and never leave any room for it.

Xu Jiang felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and his hands tightened even more.

The smile on Lin Chen's face slowly faded: "What do you mean?"

Xu Jiang didn't know what it meant, but he just didn't want to let go.

"Or do you want to have an affair with me while making love to your girlfriend?"

The words were very blunt, Xu Jiang shook his head subconsciously, and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, he could only look at Lin Chen's face, his eyes were full of bewilderment and helplessness.

Seeing his bewildered look, Lin Chen took a step back, reached out to touch Xu Jiang's hand, and said with a little force, "Xu Jiang, I chose a very difficult road. Although it is bitter, it is not humble."

"I also want the same person to go on with a very serious heart."

"Your choice is your freedom, I have no position to blame you... So, live well, Xu Jiang."

After finishing the words, Lin Chen smiled, and pushed Xu Jiang's hand away little by little with his fingers.

The temperature of the palm left, Xu Jiang raised his head.

The young man in front of him is still as gentle as before. When standing there laughing, the whole world becomes quiet and gentle.

Such a person is gentle, peaceful, and especially beautiful, and deserves the protection of better people.

But this person will not be him, Xu Jiang clenched his fist, he is just a coward.

He stood with his head bowed, his expression silent, watching Lin Chen turn around, open the door and walk out without moving.

He stood in the bathroom for a long time until someone came in, and then he walked out as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Entering the private room, Lin Chen and Tang Song had already left. Fatty sat there and greeted him with a smile: "Why did you just come back? Lin Chen said something happened at home and he had to go first. Let me tell you."

Xu Jiang hummed, and sat back blankly. The girl sitting next to him looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you unhappy?"

Xu Jiang turned to look at her, the girl had a pair of beautiful eyes, looking at him, there was undisguised concern in the eyes.

He froze for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay."

The girl laughed and put her arms around his arm: "That's good, you must be happy."

The surrounding music sounded again, and people laughed and laughed.

Xu Jiang raised his wine glass, looked at everything around him, and lowered his eyes.

Maybe this is the best ending, Xu Jiang thought.

He has to take responsibility for his choice, and Lin Chen will start a warm life again.

Actually, pretty good.

The author has something to say: "I chose a very difficult road. Although it is bitter, it is not humble."
