Above the cloud
Chapter 3 Returning to China
For Yin Chen, the theory test was not too difficult, and the people from the bureau announced that Yin Chen had passed the test on the spot and asked him to return to China for simulator training as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll book a flight back home when my brother finishes his exam tomorrow." Yin Chen shook hands with the bureau representatives one by one, and watched them leave.
Yin Chen originally planned to tell Yin Hang the news, but when he arrived at the training center, he found that his class was undergoing the last simulator training, so he couldn't go in and disturb him.Taking advantage of the excitement, he decided to send Yin Hang a message telling him that he passed the exam and was going back to China, but after editing the content, he looked at the recipient and thought about it, and then filled in Alden's name on it.
When Alden came home, Yin Chen was packing up his things in the room. When he heard the door opening, he went downstairs and said hello to Alden.
"Congratulations." Alden saw Yin Chen, smiled at him, and shook the champagne in his hand.
Yin Chen laughed, "Hey, I should save it for Yin Hang's evening celebration after the exam tomorrow."
"You just finished your exams too." Alden handed over the bottle.
"Okay, thanks," Yin Chen took the champagne unceremoniously and asked, "Do you have an ice bucket at home, I'll freeze it."
"Yes, I'll help you find it." Alden heard the words and went into the kitchen to rummage through.
Yin Chen saw a bag of things that Alden put in the living room, flipped through it casually, and found that it was full of sauces and side dishes, so he asked, "Are you eating at home tonight?"
"Yes, I plan to cook for you myself. Congratulations on passing the exam." Alden opened the refrigerator and looked, "I saw that there was still some food in the refrigerator, so I didn't buy any more."
Yin Chen paused when he heard the words, and said, "Ivan brought you that when I came here before." The tone was so dry that people couldn't tell what it was.
Alden turned around and glanced at him, threw all the vegetables in the refrigerator into the trash can without hesitation, and said, "It's still early, we can go to the supermarket first."
"You are such a waste...and not bad." Yin Chenyan expressed regret insincerely.
"How do you know it's not broken? It's gone bad after such a long time." Alden paused and said, "It's been a long time since I broke up with him."
"Oh, I... know." Yin Chen said.
Alden nodded, walked into the living room and picked up the coat on the sofa, "Shall we go together?"
"Ah...?" Yin Chen was a little distracted, "Where are you going?"
"Supermarket." Alden smiled helplessly.
"Okay! Wait for me, I'll go change." Yin Chen said, and went upstairs quickly.
Alden looked at the other's hurried figure with a smile on his face.
The two drove to a nearby large supermarket together.As soon as he entered the door, Alden consciously took the trolley and walked straight to the counter, while Yin Chen followed him casually and helped him pick and choose by the way.When passing by the snack counter, Yin Chen was so greedy that he picked two and put them in the car. Alden saw the puffed food he bought, smiled dotingly, noncommittal.
Probably because of the commuting time, there are quite a lot of people in the supermarket, but most of them are middle-aged people with children and couples.The figure of two outstanding young men picking ingredients together is somewhat inconsistent with this general environment.Walking around, Yin Chen felt a little subtle, but Alden didn't feel it.
In front of the fresh counter, Alden is carefully selecting lobsters.He compared several varieties and asked Yin Chen, "Should we bake our lobsters with cheese, salt and pepper or steam them?"
The big brother who sells fresh food and the customer next to him looked at them with curious eyes.
Alden's homely tone made Yin Chen blush slightly, "Anything is fine, whatever you want."
"Well, let's bake it. I just bought cheese this afternoon." Alden said, handing the selected lobster to the salesperson for weighing, and then asked, "Let's sell some vegetables later. Do you have anything you want to eat?" "
"Whatever, I can do it..." Yin Chen faltered.
The salesperson packed the scaled lobster and handed it to He Yao, and praised with a smile: "Sir, you and your significant other have such a good relationship."
Yin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party recognized himself and Alden as a couple, and immediately wanted to explain, "You misunderstood, we are not..."
Alden interrupted him with a smile, thanked the man, took the ingredients and put them in the cart.
"Today, the Bandol Rose in our supermarket is on sale, and it goes well with lobster. Would you like to try it?" the salesperson recommended again.
"Okay, thank you for your suggestion." Alden thanked with a smile, and then said to Yin Chen, "Let's go shopping first."
"You're welcome." The man waved to them, "What a beautiful couple, I wish you happiness."
Alden looked at Yin Chen jokingly, Yin Chen stared back at him, and whispered, "I was about to explain just now, but you interrupted me."
"You could explain it again just now."
"Come on, let me explain after I finish talking, how embarrassing it is." Yin Chen said indignantly, "Hurry up and go home after buying vegetables, I don't want to be called 'your guy' on the spot again, go to the supermarket I will be taken advantage of by you."
Alden laughed, quickly picked out vegetables and loaded them into the car, and said, "I won't take advantage of you in vain. I'll pay after the checkout, and I'll make you a good meal when I get home."
"Really?" Yin Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What you say is what you say?"
"Of course, if you still have something to buy, hurry up and pick it up. Just don't delay too long, I'm afraid there will be a traffic jam on the road later."
Yin Chen thought for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, I don't have anything to buy." Then he took the cart and pushed it to the cashier to pay.
"Are you sure? Just two packs of potato chips?" Alden sighed jokingly, "Then I've earned it."
"Yes. That's right." Yin Chen helped pack the bag, pointed to the lobster in the bag and said, "So, you have to behave well later. If you don't cook well, you have to pay me back with interest."
"No problem." Alden narrowed his eyes with a smile, and stretched out his hand in front of Yin Chen's eyes, "It's time to show you my cooking skills. You know, my hands can not only lift the steering wheel, but also Cook well."
"Desert!" Yin Chen smiled and pushed Alden's hand away, and got into the car together with him.
Yin Chen had to admit that Alden really wasn't talking big.He is very skillful with knives, and he can stir fry in one go.The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. Seeing Yin Chen's index finger move wildly, he was looking forward to the finished product.
Cheese-baked lobster, stir-fried kale, Caesar salad... Yin Chen tasted each of them, and couldn't help licking his mouth with satisfaction.
"Is it delicious?" Alden asked.
Yin Chen originally planned to pick some faults and run on Alden, but now he has no way to do it, so he can only sip his chopsticks and honestly say it's delicious.
Alden smiled softly when he heard the words, and poured red wine for Yin Chen.
The two clink glasses and take a sip each.
The wine diffused in his mouth, and the taste was very mellow. Yin Chen smacked his tongue for a while, and the aftertaste surged up along the coating of his tongue.
"This wine is...?" Yin Chen asked.
"The Bandol Rose recommended by the salesperson is really good." Alden put a piece of lobster meat on Yin Chen's plate, "Try it with lobster."
Yin Chen heard the words and tried it. The aftertaste of the wine mixed with the freshness of the shrimp is really unique.
The two drank and chatted, and quickly ate up all the dishes.Yin Chen was embarrassed to eat free food, so he went to the kitchen to help Alden wash the dishes.
After tidying up properly, Yin Chen thought of the champagne in the ice bucket, and said regretfully: "I was too busy eating, so I forgot about it." But after thinking about it, he said, "I can save it for the children tomorrow. drink."
Alden came over and took out the champagne, and said, "I've prepared theirs, and this is yours." He touched Yin Chen's neck with the cold bottle, "The ice is ready, do you want to drink it? "
Unprepared, Yin Chen was caught in the ice, and quickly shrank his neck to avoid it.He himself was also greedy, and couldn't stand Alden's bottle attack, so he immediately surrendered: "Drink! Drink!"
Alden smiled triumphantly, and took out two goblets like a magic trick, "Let's go and watch the night scene."
The night is getting darker and the lights are on.
The lights were not turned on in the room, and Yin Chen and Alden sat by the window, neither of them spoke, and each held a goblet, sipping quietly.Yin Chen's eyes were always condensed on this wonderful night scene, and he seemed to be thinking about something.The colorful lights and shadows outside the window intertwined, reflected on the wine glass, and reflected in his eyes.
The man next to him looked at him quietly.
The hazy light outside the window outlined Yin Chen's young and handsome facial features. Alden was attracted by this line, and couldn't help but slide his gaze down the bridge of the other's erect nose, the slightly raised nose tip, the lip line moistened by wine, and the trembling Adam's apple when he swallowed...
Alden stopped and looked away. He took a sip of the wine as a cover-up, and then picked up the bottle to refill for Yin Chen.
Seeing this, Yin Chen smiled and lowered his wine glass to facilitate Alden's movements.
After drinking for three rounds, Yin Chen's face was slightly stained red, but his eyes were still very clear.After the wine was poured, he reached out to clink glasses with Alden again.
Alden knew that drinking was easy to get on his face, but he was sober, so he didn't refuse.The two clinked glasses lightly in silence, and the crisp impact echoed in the room.
"Has the time to return to China been fixed?" Alden looked at the half-drowsy man in front of him, breaking the silence.
The smile on Yin Chen's face froze, and he looked away from Alden's gaze by accident, "The time has not yet been set...but it should be this week."
"It's a good thing, but you're not very happy." Alden teased.
Yin Chen was startled, his hand holding the wine glass tightened, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
That's right, I was really looking forward to returning to China, but when the arrangements for returning to China were made, apart from the relief of the go-around, I still had an inexplicable feeling in my heart.Yin Chen originally thought that he would book a ticket to return home immediately, but when it came time to choose the flight, he was unable to make a decision.
Sensing Alden's probing gaze, Yin Chen smiled in a concealed manner, and said, "After all, I stayed here for more than a month, and I feel a little bit reluctant to leave before leaving."
"What are you reluctant to bear?"
"Uh..." Yin Chen didn't expect the other party to ask, and was at a loss for a while, but he quickly smiled, "Perth's environment is so good, and the air is clean... Every day when you go out, you can see the sea and face the sea breeze." It’s so comfortable to drive. Of course I can’t bear it.”
"anything else?"
"And...there is the flying academy. After all, I learn to fly here. I almost regard this as my second hometown." After Yin Chen finished speaking, he took a sip of his wine.
"No more?" Alden raised an eyebrow.
How could Yin Chen not be able to hear the meaning behind Alden's words, but when he met the other's eyes, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.He always felt that since he knew Alden's sexuality, his heartbeat would speed up when he looked at him.
Probably haven't gotten used to it yet.Yin Chen smiled, trying to make himself look more natural.
"We have been in Perth for more than a month, and we have the strongest relationship. Whether it is at work or when we get along with each other, I regard you as the best partner. Although our hobbies are not exactly the same, I found that we have the best relationship with you. Time flies so fast when we are together."
Alden looked at Yin Chen with a gentle smile on his face.
Once I started talking, I couldn't stop it.Seeing the other party's expression, Yin Chen seemed to be encouraged, and continued, "I'm not trying to be polite to you, but to tell the truth. After returning to China, there will be fewer chances to meet each other. I really feel a little bit reluctant." He paused After a pause, he added, "Fortunately, there is no time difference between Australia and China. Although it is far away, we can still keep in touch."
"If you come to Beijing tomorrow, if I'm here, I'll treat you well. Good buddies know no borders!" Yin Chen put down his glass and patted Alden on the shoulder.I thought Alden would be moved by his heartfelt words, but Alden looked at him but said nothing.
After the awkward silence, Alden suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Yin Chen to sit opposite him, and asked, "What if I don't want you to go?"
"What?" Yin Chen was stunned.
Alden held Yin Chen's shoulders, looked straight into his eyes, and said slowly, "What if I said, I want to be by your side all the time?"
The other party's affectionate tone shocked Yin Chen's nerves. He didn't dare to speculate on the deep meaning in the other party's words, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip to hide the embarrassment in his eyes.
"Stay with me."
"You..." Yin Chen stared at the man across from him in disbelief, hoping to see some signs of joking.But Alden's expression was very firm, and there was faint expectation in his eyes.
There was a bang in Yin Chen's head, and he felt that he couldn't say anything.His heart was beating fast, as if it might burst out at any moment.Facing the scorching gaze of the other party, he suddenly couldn't hold on anymore, and first moved his eyes away.He knew that at this moment, Alden's handsome face was only a short distance away from him, and the sounds of their breathing overlapped and amplified in the silence.
But Yin Chen was not a pure boy after all, he quickly recovered from the shock.
He tried his best to move the corner of his mouth, pretending not to care, and said, "You mean, you want to fuck me?"
Alden seemed shocked by the verb Yin Chen used, and frowned, "I'm serious."
"friends with benefits?"
Alden didn't quite understand this word, so he asked Yin Chen to explain.
"Friend with benefit."
In China, Yin Chen has several friends who are gay. In his opinion, the relationship between homosexuals is nothing more than this, that is, to satisfy each other.
"No." Alden seemed a little unhappy about Yin Chen's misunderstanding, he said, "I really want to date you, you have to trust me."
"Like with Ivan?" Yin Chen asked with a smile.
Alden didn't expect Yin Chen to mention Ivan, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Yin Chen.
"It's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that I don't believe in that kind of relationship." Yin Chen got up and put the wine glass in front of Alden, "It doesn't matter whether you are straight or gay. I just like to get what I want, and I don't like to be serious." He Walking to the door, I looked back at the man by the window and said softly, "I have forgotten what you said to me today. Good night."
After leaving Alden's room, Yin Chen returned to the small bedroom next door. The moment he closed the door, he was a little absent-minded.
Yin Chen leaned against the door and closed his eyes.He couldn't help recalling the appearance of Alden when he left the room just now in his mind.
His hands gradually clenched into fists.
At this time, there was a sound of opening the door in the next room, it should be Alden who came out.Yin Chen opened his eyes, and then he heard footsteps getting closer and closer to him.
Finally, it stopped at his door.
Yin Chen straightened up quickly, waiting for the person outside the door to speak, but Alden didn't say anything, just stood there quietly.
Suddenly there was a faint ringing of the mobile phone in the next room, the people outside the door hesitated for a moment, and the footsteps reappeared, from near to far, until they disappeared.
Yin Chen sighed and collected his thoughts. He hoped that when he woke up tomorrow morning, he and Alden could become friends again as if nothing had happened.
I have to leave sooner or later, and apart from friendship, what kind of emotion can overcome distance?
Thinking this way, Yin Chen turned on his computer as if he had made up his mind, and logged on to Anhang's official website to book a flight ticket back home.
Alden went back to his room, picked up the phone, hesitated when he saw the caller ID, but connected anyway.
There was a hint of displeasure on Alden's expression when the person on the phone said something.
"Do I have to go?" he asked.
Explained a lot to the convenience.
"Okay." Alden said helplessly, "When?"
Hearing the time said by the other party, Alden was obviously very hesitant, "I should have something to do at that time, let's talk about it at that time." After finishing speaking, regardless of what the other party planned to say, he hung up the phone directly.
Alden lay down on his comfortable big bed feeling a little tired, and raised his hand involuntarily to touch the wall behind him.
Between me and him... there is more than a wall.
The next morning, when Yin Chen got up and went downstairs, he found that Alden had already prepared breakfast.
The simple bread, omelette and milk left Yin Chen stunned for a long time.
"Morning." Alden greeted Yin Chen with a smile when he saw Yin Chen coming downstairs.
Seeing the other party's usual expression, Yin Chen was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Morning..."
He sneaked a few glances at Alden, and saw that the other party was spreading butter on the bread calmly, as if nothing really happened last night, and he couldn't help but feel a little blocked.So he bypassed the seat next to Alden, pulled out the chair, and sat opposite Alden.
When Alden saw him take his seat, he said, "Yin Hang's exam starts at 9 o'clock, and the time is running out. I just made some casually, so you can get off later." Then, he pushed the fried eggs and milk beside him to Yin Chen , "I know you are not used to drinking iced milk, this one has been heated in advance."
"Thank you." Yin Chen nodded, not knowing what else to say, so he ate hard.
After the restless breakfast was over, Yin Chen packed up and prepared to go to the flying courtyard. Alden was nimble, and had already finished packing the tableware when Yin Chen went downstairs.
Seeing Yin Chen, he picked up the clothes hanging in the entrance, and said to Yin Chen, "Let's go together, I'll see you off."
Yin Chen tried his best to say in a natural tone: "Well, thank you."
"You're welcome." Alden habitually reached out to push Yin Chen's shoulder, but was avoided by the other party without a trace.
Alden froze for a moment, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.
But soon he recovered, opened the door, and greeted Yin Chen: "I'll go to the garage to drive first, you can wait for me downstairs." Without waiting for Yin Chen to respond, he left.
Yin Chen looked at his disappearing back and sighed helplessly.He walked out and slowly closed the door and locked it.
He looked at the key in his hand and decided to return it to Alden when he packed his bags tomorrow.
In Yin Chen's heart, things like feelings can only be cut quickly.Mother-in-law, indecisive, that's not his style.
After all, what Alden wanted, he didn't want to give, and couldn't afford to.
When they arrived at the flying academy, Alden went to accompany the people from the bureau to invigilate the exam, while Yin Chen, as a jobless vagrant, had to go to the tarmac to cheer for Yin Hang.
Yin Hang was obviously a little nervous, but he still smiled under Yin Chen's comfort.
Yin Chen hugged Yin Hang and encouraged him: "Relax, just behave as usual, don't think too much."
"Okay," Yin Hang patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I haven't congratulated you on passing the theory test yet. It's just good luck for you."
Yin Chen laughed loudly, rubbed on Yin Hang's body playfully, and said, "All for you, all for you."
"Enough! Enough!" Unable to bear Yin Chen's tickling, Yin Hang immediately begged for mercy.
The two were arguing, and Yin Hang suddenly greeted Yin Chen behind him, "Hey! Alden, you're here."
Yin Chen stopped when he heard the words, and turned around slowly.
Behind him, Alden was standing there wearing a pilot's uniform. The black uniform was slim and straight, which made Alden look taller and taller.There were John and several other people in uniform on the tarmac not far away, obviously Alden came with them.
Yin Chen saw the four gold bars on his shoulders and looked away.
Alden smiled at Yin Hang and said, "I saw you here, so I came over to say hello and cheer for the exam."
"Okay! Thank you!" Yin Hang said gratefully.
He nodded, then gave Yin Chen a meaningful look, but turned around and left without saying anything.
Yin Hang looked at his back and suddenly asked, "Brother, what happened to you and Alden?"
"It's nothing..." Yin Chen was startled, and then asked, "What is 'again'...?"
"Haven't you reconciled yet?" Yin Hang said, "Since the last accident, I thought you had reconciled."
"Accident? Reconciliation?"
"Yes, you don't know if you are not in the flying academy." Yin Hang said helplessly, "Didn't the two engines of our training plane fail that time? After you got home, Alden went to check the aircraft inspection and maintenance list. It is said that the aircraft Kelvin was in charge of the most recent inspection, so Alden gave him a hard time."
Yin Chen was shocked, "Alden beat him?"
"That's not true," Yin Hang waved his hand, "He asked John to suspend Kelvin without pay. After all, Kelvin targeted you and Alden everywhere before, and he happened to be responsible for the plane problem this time. It's hard to say whether it's a coincidence or intentional." .”
"But Alden is still very worried about you. After Kelvin's suspension, Alden has to go back to his home in the city center every day to see him, just because he is afraid that he will retaliate against you and you will be in danger." Seeing Yin Chen's surprised expression, Yin Hang asked, "What? He didn't tell you?"
"No." Yin Chen said softly.No wonder Alden would go home every day during this time, he always thought that Alden was just here to help him with theory lessons.
"Oh, brother. To be honest, I really think Alden is very loyal. Besides, apart from Brother Shaoting and Sister Si Lin, I have never seen you have a few close friends. It is rare to have such a good buddy. , you guys get along well," Yin Hang said.
Yin Chen glanced at him and thought, how can I get along well, if I get along well, I will become your sister-in-law.
"Don't meddle in the adult's affairs. Let's take your test." Yin Chen raised his hand and patted the top of Yin Hang's head.
"Cut." Yin Hang made a face and ran away.
As expected, Yin Hang passed the CPL practical flight test easily.Yin Chen saw his report card, the ground theory test and the flight practice test were all Class A+, plus his usual grades, it is basically no problem to get the Honor Degree after graduation.
Yin Chen was very happy. He hugged Yin Hang and said, "You brat, your theoretical test scores are amazing. I only got an A back then."
Facing his brother's praise, Yin Hang smiled a little shyly. His temperament was originally more restrained and calm than Yin Chen's, and he spoke very modestly, "After all, you and Alden have answered my questions in private these days. And when you took the exam back then, there was no captain to help you make a fuss."
Hearing Alden's name, Yin Chen smiled unnaturally, and hurriedly said in a disguised manner: "I think the students who have a good relationship with you, Zhang Yunting and... Jiang Tao, seem to have good grades. Do you want to go tonight?" Go out and celebrate together?"
After all, Yin Chen's unnaturalness was noticed by Yin Hang sharp-eyed.
"What the hell is going on with you and Alden?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yin Chen simply said, "Don't ask more about the two of us, I can't tell you."
Seeing Yin Chen's decisive attitude, Yin Hang no longer persisted.He sighed and asked, "Then tonight...?"
Yin Chen lowered his head and said nothing, and Yin Hang understood most of it.
"You're going back to China soon. Tonight, I'll find a few close classmates to see you off. Anyway, there's still some time before we finish class, and we'll get together after the teacher's side."
"Okay, you guys are OK, come and wait for me in the parking lot, I'll wait for you in the car." Yin Chen said.
Yin Hang nodded, gestured OK to Yin Chen and left.
Tonight, Yin Chen and his party went to Crown, the largest bar in the CBD.Since meeting Yin Chen here, several of them have become regular customers of Crown.
Just as they found a corner to sit down, many drinkers who were familiar with Yin Chen came to greet him, and the warm greeting quickly made Yin Chen's spirits high.Yin Hang and his classmates also eagerly wanted to release the pressure because they had just finished the exam, and excitedly poured wine on each other.
A whistle sounded, and Yin Chen turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Katherine, the bartender standing not far away, smiling and pointing at Yin Chen. The tight-fitting short dress, with the chest lowered, is very hot.
Yin Chen gave a wicked smile, and walked over with a glass of wine.
For more than a month, Katherine tried her best to seduce Yin Chen, but no matter whether she came softly or hard, she was defeated in several confrontations. After all, Katherine has been in the bar for many years, and there are countless ministers under her skirt. After coming and going, she was a little suspicious of Yin Chen's sexuality, and tentatively introduced a few popular female customers in the bar to him, but he accepted them all. Resigned to his fate, he felt that he and this man probably had no destiny, so he no longer insisted.
During this period of intentional or unintentional contact, the two became friends. Katherine told Yin Chen the gossip in the bar from time to time, and Yin Chen didn't mind, and listened to all the conversations while drinking.
For example, Crown's annual Satan selection has started again.
"Why don't you try it?" Katherine took Yin Chen's drink, and slowly twirled her fingertips on his chest, "Even our Crown's most popular female guest, Miss V, slept in your bed, you It's very popular."
Yin Chen stopped the opponent from lighting the fire, and leaned lazily on the bar, "I don't like to join in the fun."
Katherine giggled, "You can't make it this time, the voting ended last weekend."
Yin Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked, "Re-elected?"
Naturally, he asked about the current Satan, who had been re-elected for three years.
Katherine shook her finger and said, "No, he didn't participate this year."
Yin Chen was a little surprised. Although he only saw Satan once at the comeback party last time, he heard a lot of anecdotes about this man when he went clubbing, and he was quite popular.
"But it's expected," Katherine swung her glass. "He suddenly became very busy this year, and he may not be able to come once a month."
"You really care about him." Yin Chen teased.
"Chen, are you jealous?" Katherine laughed, "But don't worry, I have no chance, he only likes men."
Katherine recalled her previous suspicion of Yin Chen's sexuality, and joked, "You can try it, he likes Asians."
I thought I would get a response from Yin Chen, but Yin Chen just drank with a smile.
Katherine asked softly, "Do you want to go and see together later?"
"Look at what?"
"The ceremony to announce the new Satan." Katherine looked at her phone, "At 10 o'clock, it's on the dance floor."
Yin Chen wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear to look at Katherine's expectant eyes for a while, so he agreed.
It was exactly 10pm when Alden entered the Crown.
He walked familiarly along the narrow and long aisle of the bar from the door to the stage. The hosts and regular customers along the way greeted him one after another when they saw him. He nodded politely, but his attitude was a little alienated.
There was a platform where a DJ stood behind the stage. Alden walked over and saw a figure in a white suit.
The man in the white suit just turned around and was surprised and happy to see Alden.He walked over quickly, patted Alden on the shoulder happily, and said, "Didn't you say you were busy tonight? I thought you weren't coming."
"There was something wrong, but he was let go." Alden smiled wryly.
The man in the white suit showed an expression of disbelief when he heard the words, "Is there anyone else who dares to let you go?"
Alden smiled, but said nothing.
"Anyway, it's good if you can come. Our activities today are complete only when you come." The man said and handed Alden a very delicate black mask, and said, "You also go up with me, and give this to him."
With the help of the colorful lights on the dance floor, Alden saw clearly what was in the other party's hands, and said in a refusal tone, "I'm just here to see, so I won't be on stage."
"Damn it, it's already here, doesn't it make sense not to go on stage?" The man in the suit obviously knew Alden quite well, and even pushed and shoved him to the dance floor.
Although Alden was reluctant, but because of the kindness of his friends, he had to straighten his collar, picked up the mask and walked into the dance floor.
The newly elected Satan is a handsome and thin young man with brunette hair. He looks young, speaks with a strong British accent, and dresses with British characteristics.
Katherine introduced to Yin Chen that this man is an overseas student from the UK, studying at the University of Western Australia.
Yin Chen nodded, "It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it here several times. Is he very popular?"
Katherine smiled like a flower and said, "You've been here so long that you don't know much about it. There's a lot of gossip about this boy! He liked the previous Satan, and all the little gays in the bar didn't like him, and no one voted for him." She licked her lips, and changed the subject, "However, this little cutie is a twin, and he is especially destined to be a sister, so all the female customers love him."
Yin Chen smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you like him too?"
"Ha." Katherine's jade bi was placed on Yin Chen's shoulder, and she smiled wantonly.She said leisurely: "I prefer those who can control me, I don't like cuties."
Yin Chen was about to speak, but a burst of cheers and whistles interrupted him. He frowned and put down his glass to look into the dance floor.
Katherine was also attracted by the commotion. She looked away from the crowd, and excitedly called to Yin Chen who was behind her: "Hey, Chen, come and see. The ex-Satan is also here."
Surrounded by the crowd, a tall and handsome Asian man was handing a black mask to the brunette youth in front of him.
The man was wearing rimless glasses, the collar of his shirt was tied meticulously, and a pair of jeweled cufflinks were pinned to his cuffs. His trousers were well-tailored, and his leather shoes were low-key but obviously expensive.This elite style seems to have just arrived from get off work, so appearing in the bar adds a sense of abstinence to the temptation.
The brunette British youth took the mask from the man's hand, but his expression was a little sad.He opened his mouth to say something to the man, but the man smiled calmly but did not answer, turned around and was about to leave.
Yin Chen followed Katherine through the crowd, carefully looked at the two protagonists in the stands, and his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing that the man was about to leave as soon as he appeared, there was a burst of dissatisfied boos from the crowd.
The white suit appeared in a timely manner and blocked the man's way, pulled him back into the dance floor, and said to everyone through the microphone: "Although the protagonist today is not him, it is not so easy to leave!" He winked and said, "Just now the new Satan I told you to stay and play the game, the designated kiss, do you still want to leave?"
Most of the spectators on the dance floor also knew that the current Satan was obsessed with his predecessor, and they booed and applauded.
The man smiled embarrassedly, whispered a few words to the white suit, and shook his head at the new Satan.But the onlookers didn't give him any face, and pushed him and the new Satan to the middle of the dance floor.
The man was pushed back and nearly bumped into the new Satan.He immediately straightened up and distanced himself from Satan without any trace.He raised his head, and all he could see was Yin Chen who was standing in the first row of the crowd.
The two looked at each other, and Yin Chen saw the silent mouth shape when the other party called his name.

"Okay, I'll book a flight back home when my brother finishes his exam tomorrow." Yin Chen shook hands with the bureau representatives one by one, and watched them leave.
Yin Chen originally planned to tell Yin Hang the news, but when he arrived at the training center, he found that his class was undergoing the last simulator training, so he couldn't go in and disturb him.Taking advantage of the excitement, he decided to send Yin Hang a message telling him that he passed the exam and was going back to China, but after editing the content, he looked at the recipient and thought about it, and then filled in Alden's name on it.
When Alden came home, Yin Chen was packing up his things in the room. When he heard the door opening, he went downstairs and said hello to Alden.
"Congratulations." Alden saw Yin Chen, smiled at him, and shook the champagne in his hand.
Yin Chen laughed, "Hey, I should save it for Yin Hang's evening celebration after the exam tomorrow."
"You just finished your exams too." Alden handed over the bottle.
"Okay, thanks," Yin Chen took the champagne unceremoniously and asked, "Do you have an ice bucket at home, I'll freeze it."
"Yes, I'll help you find it." Alden heard the words and went into the kitchen to rummage through.
Yin Chen saw a bag of things that Alden put in the living room, flipped through it casually, and found that it was full of sauces and side dishes, so he asked, "Are you eating at home tonight?"
"Yes, I plan to cook for you myself. Congratulations on passing the exam." Alden opened the refrigerator and looked, "I saw that there was still some food in the refrigerator, so I didn't buy any more."
Yin Chen paused when he heard the words, and said, "Ivan brought you that when I came here before." The tone was so dry that people couldn't tell what it was.
Alden turned around and glanced at him, threw all the vegetables in the refrigerator into the trash can without hesitation, and said, "It's still early, we can go to the supermarket first."
"You are such a waste...and not bad." Yin Chenyan expressed regret insincerely.
"How do you know it's not broken? It's gone bad after such a long time." Alden paused and said, "It's been a long time since I broke up with him."
"Oh, I... know." Yin Chen said.
Alden nodded, walked into the living room and picked up the coat on the sofa, "Shall we go together?"
"Ah...?" Yin Chen was a little distracted, "Where are you going?"
"Supermarket." Alden smiled helplessly.
"Okay! Wait for me, I'll go change." Yin Chen said, and went upstairs quickly.
Alden looked at the other's hurried figure with a smile on his face.
The two drove to a nearby large supermarket together.As soon as he entered the door, Alden consciously took the trolley and walked straight to the counter, while Yin Chen followed him casually and helped him pick and choose by the way.When passing by the snack counter, Yin Chen was so greedy that he picked two and put them in the car. Alden saw the puffed food he bought, smiled dotingly, noncommittal.
Probably because of the commuting time, there are quite a lot of people in the supermarket, but most of them are middle-aged people with children and couples.The figure of two outstanding young men picking ingredients together is somewhat inconsistent with this general environment.Walking around, Yin Chen felt a little subtle, but Alden didn't feel it.
In front of the fresh counter, Alden is carefully selecting lobsters.He compared several varieties and asked Yin Chen, "Should we bake our lobsters with cheese, salt and pepper or steam them?"
The big brother who sells fresh food and the customer next to him looked at them with curious eyes.
Alden's homely tone made Yin Chen blush slightly, "Anything is fine, whatever you want."
"Well, let's bake it. I just bought cheese this afternoon." Alden said, handing the selected lobster to the salesperson for weighing, and then asked, "Let's sell some vegetables later. Do you have anything you want to eat?" "
"Whatever, I can do it..." Yin Chen faltered.
The salesperson packed the scaled lobster and handed it to He Yao, and praised with a smile: "Sir, you and your significant other have such a good relationship."
Yin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party recognized himself and Alden as a couple, and immediately wanted to explain, "You misunderstood, we are not..."
Alden interrupted him with a smile, thanked the man, took the ingredients and put them in the cart.
"Today, the Bandol Rose in our supermarket is on sale, and it goes well with lobster. Would you like to try it?" the salesperson recommended again.
"Okay, thank you for your suggestion." Alden thanked with a smile, and then said to Yin Chen, "Let's go shopping first."
"You're welcome." The man waved to them, "What a beautiful couple, I wish you happiness."
Alden looked at Yin Chen jokingly, Yin Chen stared back at him, and whispered, "I was about to explain just now, but you interrupted me."
"You could explain it again just now."
"Come on, let me explain after I finish talking, how embarrassing it is." Yin Chen said indignantly, "Hurry up and go home after buying vegetables, I don't want to be called 'your guy' on the spot again, go to the supermarket I will be taken advantage of by you."
Alden laughed, quickly picked out vegetables and loaded them into the car, and said, "I won't take advantage of you in vain. I'll pay after the checkout, and I'll make you a good meal when I get home."
"Really?" Yin Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What you say is what you say?"
"Of course, if you still have something to buy, hurry up and pick it up. Just don't delay too long, I'm afraid there will be a traffic jam on the road later."
Yin Chen thought for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, I don't have anything to buy." Then he took the cart and pushed it to the cashier to pay.
"Are you sure? Just two packs of potato chips?" Alden sighed jokingly, "Then I've earned it."
"Yes. That's right." Yin Chen helped pack the bag, pointed to the lobster in the bag and said, "So, you have to behave well later. If you don't cook well, you have to pay me back with interest."
"No problem." Alden narrowed his eyes with a smile, and stretched out his hand in front of Yin Chen's eyes, "It's time to show you my cooking skills. You know, my hands can not only lift the steering wheel, but also Cook well."
"Desert!" Yin Chen smiled and pushed Alden's hand away, and got into the car together with him.
Yin Chen had to admit that Alden really wasn't talking big.He is very skillful with knives, and he can stir fry in one go.The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. Seeing Yin Chen's index finger move wildly, he was looking forward to the finished product.
Cheese-baked lobster, stir-fried kale, Caesar salad... Yin Chen tasted each of them, and couldn't help licking his mouth with satisfaction.
"Is it delicious?" Alden asked.
Yin Chen originally planned to pick some faults and run on Alden, but now he has no way to do it, so he can only sip his chopsticks and honestly say it's delicious.
Alden smiled softly when he heard the words, and poured red wine for Yin Chen.
The two clink glasses and take a sip each.
The wine diffused in his mouth, and the taste was very mellow. Yin Chen smacked his tongue for a while, and the aftertaste surged up along the coating of his tongue.
"This wine is...?" Yin Chen asked.
"The Bandol Rose recommended by the salesperson is really good." Alden put a piece of lobster meat on Yin Chen's plate, "Try it with lobster."
Yin Chen heard the words and tried it. The aftertaste of the wine mixed with the freshness of the shrimp is really unique.
The two drank and chatted, and quickly ate up all the dishes.Yin Chen was embarrassed to eat free food, so he went to the kitchen to help Alden wash the dishes.
After tidying up properly, Yin Chen thought of the champagne in the ice bucket, and said regretfully: "I was too busy eating, so I forgot about it." But after thinking about it, he said, "I can save it for the children tomorrow. drink."
Alden came over and took out the champagne, and said, "I've prepared theirs, and this is yours." He touched Yin Chen's neck with the cold bottle, "The ice is ready, do you want to drink it? "
Unprepared, Yin Chen was caught in the ice, and quickly shrank his neck to avoid it.He himself was also greedy, and couldn't stand Alden's bottle attack, so he immediately surrendered: "Drink! Drink!"
Alden smiled triumphantly, and took out two goblets like a magic trick, "Let's go and watch the night scene."
The night is getting darker and the lights are on.
The lights were not turned on in the room, and Yin Chen and Alden sat by the window, neither of them spoke, and each held a goblet, sipping quietly.Yin Chen's eyes were always condensed on this wonderful night scene, and he seemed to be thinking about something.The colorful lights and shadows outside the window intertwined, reflected on the wine glass, and reflected in his eyes.
The man next to him looked at him quietly.
The hazy light outside the window outlined Yin Chen's young and handsome facial features. Alden was attracted by this line, and couldn't help but slide his gaze down the bridge of the other's erect nose, the slightly raised nose tip, the lip line moistened by wine, and the trembling Adam's apple when he swallowed...
Alden stopped and looked away. He took a sip of the wine as a cover-up, and then picked up the bottle to refill for Yin Chen.
Seeing this, Yin Chen smiled and lowered his wine glass to facilitate Alden's movements.
After drinking for three rounds, Yin Chen's face was slightly stained red, but his eyes were still very clear.After the wine was poured, he reached out to clink glasses with Alden again.
Alden knew that drinking was easy to get on his face, but he was sober, so he didn't refuse.The two clinked glasses lightly in silence, and the crisp impact echoed in the room.
"Has the time to return to China been fixed?" Alden looked at the half-drowsy man in front of him, breaking the silence.
The smile on Yin Chen's face froze, and he looked away from Alden's gaze by accident, "The time has not yet been set...but it should be this week."
"It's a good thing, but you're not very happy." Alden teased.
Yin Chen was startled, his hand holding the wine glass tightened, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
That's right, I was really looking forward to returning to China, but when the arrangements for returning to China were made, apart from the relief of the go-around, I still had an inexplicable feeling in my heart.Yin Chen originally thought that he would book a ticket to return home immediately, but when it came time to choose the flight, he was unable to make a decision.
Sensing Alden's probing gaze, Yin Chen smiled in a concealed manner, and said, "After all, I stayed here for more than a month, and I feel a little bit reluctant to leave before leaving."
"What are you reluctant to bear?"
"Uh..." Yin Chen didn't expect the other party to ask, and was at a loss for a while, but he quickly smiled, "Perth's environment is so good, and the air is clean... Every day when you go out, you can see the sea and face the sea breeze." It’s so comfortable to drive. Of course I can’t bear it.”
"anything else?"
"And...there is the flying academy. After all, I learn to fly here. I almost regard this as my second hometown." After Yin Chen finished speaking, he took a sip of his wine.
"No more?" Alden raised an eyebrow.
How could Yin Chen not be able to hear the meaning behind Alden's words, but when he met the other's eyes, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.He always felt that since he knew Alden's sexuality, his heartbeat would speed up when he looked at him.
Probably haven't gotten used to it yet.Yin Chen smiled, trying to make himself look more natural.
"We have been in Perth for more than a month, and we have the strongest relationship. Whether it is at work or when we get along with each other, I regard you as the best partner. Although our hobbies are not exactly the same, I found that we have the best relationship with you. Time flies so fast when we are together."
Alden looked at Yin Chen with a gentle smile on his face.
Once I started talking, I couldn't stop it.Seeing the other party's expression, Yin Chen seemed to be encouraged, and continued, "I'm not trying to be polite to you, but to tell the truth. After returning to China, there will be fewer chances to meet each other. I really feel a little bit reluctant." He paused After a pause, he added, "Fortunately, there is no time difference between Australia and China. Although it is far away, we can still keep in touch."
"If you come to Beijing tomorrow, if I'm here, I'll treat you well. Good buddies know no borders!" Yin Chen put down his glass and patted Alden on the shoulder.I thought Alden would be moved by his heartfelt words, but Alden looked at him but said nothing.
After the awkward silence, Alden suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Yin Chen to sit opposite him, and asked, "What if I don't want you to go?"
"What?" Yin Chen was stunned.
Alden held Yin Chen's shoulders, looked straight into his eyes, and said slowly, "What if I said, I want to be by your side all the time?"
The other party's affectionate tone shocked Yin Chen's nerves. He didn't dare to speculate on the deep meaning in the other party's words, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip to hide the embarrassment in his eyes.
"Stay with me."
"You..." Yin Chen stared at the man across from him in disbelief, hoping to see some signs of joking.But Alden's expression was very firm, and there was faint expectation in his eyes.
There was a bang in Yin Chen's head, and he felt that he couldn't say anything.His heart was beating fast, as if it might burst out at any moment.Facing the scorching gaze of the other party, he suddenly couldn't hold on anymore, and first moved his eyes away.He knew that at this moment, Alden's handsome face was only a short distance away from him, and the sounds of their breathing overlapped and amplified in the silence.
But Yin Chen was not a pure boy after all, he quickly recovered from the shock.
He tried his best to move the corner of his mouth, pretending not to care, and said, "You mean, you want to fuck me?"
Alden seemed shocked by the verb Yin Chen used, and frowned, "I'm serious."
"friends with benefits?"
Alden didn't quite understand this word, so he asked Yin Chen to explain.
"Friend with benefit."
In China, Yin Chen has several friends who are gay. In his opinion, the relationship between homosexuals is nothing more than this, that is, to satisfy each other.
"No." Alden seemed a little unhappy about Yin Chen's misunderstanding, he said, "I really want to date you, you have to trust me."
"Like with Ivan?" Yin Chen asked with a smile.
Alden didn't expect Yin Chen to mention Ivan, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Yin Chen.
"It's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that I don't believe in that kind of relationship." Yin Chen got up and put the wine glass in front of Alden, "It doesn't matter whether you are straight or gay. I just like to get what I want, and I don't like to be serious." He Walking to the door, I looked back at the man by the window and said softly, "I have forgotten what you said to me today. Good night."
After leaving Alden's room, Yin Chen returned to the small bedroom next door. The moment he closed the door, he was a little absent-minded.
Yin Chen leaned against the door and closed his eyes.He couldn't help recalling the appearance of Alden when he left the room just now in his mind.
His hands gradually clenched into fists.
At this time, there was a sound of opening the door in the next room, it should be Alden who came out.Yin Chen opened his eyes, and then he heard footsteps getting closer and closer to him.
Finally, it stopped at his door.
Yin Chen straightened up quickly, waiting for the person outside the door to speak, but Alden didn't say anything, just stood there quietly.
Suddenly there was a faint ringing of the mobile phone in the next room, the people outside the door hesitated for a moment, and the footsteps reappeared, from near to far, until they disappeared.
Yin Chen sighed and collected his thoughts. He hoped that when he woke up tomorrow morning, he and Alden could become friends again as if nothing had happened.
I have to leave sooner or later, and apart from friendship, what kind of emotion can overcome distance?
Thinking this way, Yin Chen turned on his computer as if he had made up his mind, and logged on to Anhang's official website to book a flight ticket back home.
Alden went back to his room, picked up the phone, hesitated when he saw the caller ID, but connected anyway.
There was a hint of displeasure on Alden's expression when the person on the phone said something.
"Do I have to go?" he asked.
Explained a lot to the convenience.
"Okay." Alden said helplessly, "When?"
Hearing the time said by the other party, Alden was obviously very hesitant, "I should have something to do at that time, let's talk about it at that time." After finishing speaking, regardless of what the other party planned to say, he hung up the phone directly.
Alden lay down on his comfortable big bed feeling a little tired, and raised his hand involuntarily to touch the wall behind him.
Between me and him... there is more than a wall.
The next morning, when Yin Chen got up and went downstairs, he found that Alden had already prepared breakfast.
The simple bread, omelette and milk left Yin Chen stunned for a long time.
"Morning." Alden greeted Yin Chen with a smile when he saw Yin Chen coming downstairs.
Seeing the other party's usual expression, Yin Chen was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Morning..."
He sneaked a few glances at Alden, and saw that the other party was spreading butter on the bread calmly, as if nothing really happened last night, and he couldn't help but feel a little blocked.So he bypassed the seat next to Alden, pulled out the chair, and sat opposite Alden.
When Alden saw him take his seat, he said, "Yin Hang's exam starts at 9 o'clock, and the time is running out. I just made some casually, so you can get off later." Then, he pushed the fried eggs and milk beside him to Yin Chen , "I know you are not used to drinking iced milk, this one has been heated in advance."
"Thank you." Yin Chen nodded, not knowing what else to say, so he ate hard.
After the restless breakfast was over, Yin Chen packed up and prepared to go to the flying courtyard. Alden was nimble, and had already finished packing the tableware when Yin Chen went downstairs.
Seeing Yin Chen, he picked up the clothes hanging in the entrance, and said to Yin Chen, "Let's go together, I'll see you off."
Yin Chen tried his best to say in a natural tone: "Well, thank you."
"You're welcome." Alden habitually reached out to push Yin Chen's shoulder, but was avoided by the other party without a trace.
Alden froze for a moment, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.
But soon he recovered, opened the door, and greeted Yin Chen: "I'll go to the garage to drive first, you can wait for me downstairs." Without waiting for Yin Chen to respond, he left.
Yin Chen looked at his disappearing back and sighed helplessly.He walked out and slowly closed the door and locked it.
He looked at the key in his hand and decided to return it to Alden when he packed his bags tomorrow.
In Yin Chen's heart, things like feelings can only be cut quickly.Mother-in-law, indecisive, that's not his style.
After all, what Alden wanted, he didn't want to give, and couldn't afford to.
When they arrived at the flying academy, Alden went to accompany the people from the bureau to invigilate the exam, while Yin Chen, as a jobless vagrant, had to go to the tarmac to cheer for Yin Hang.
Yin Hang was obviously a little nervous, but he still smiled under Yin Chen's comfort.
Yin Chen hugged Yin Hang and encouraged him: "Relax, just behave as usual, don't think too much."
"Okay," Yin Hang patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I haven't congratulated you on passing the theory test yet. It's just good luck for you."
Yin Chen laughed loudly, rubbed on Yin Hang's body playfully, and said, "All for you, all for you."
"Enough! Enough!" Unable to bear Yin Chen's tickling, Yin Hang immediately begged for mercy.
The two were arguing, and Yin Hang suddenly greeted Yin Chen behind him, "Hey! Alden, you're here."
Yin Chen stopped when he heard the words, and turned around slowly.
Behind him, Alden was standing there wearing a pilot's uniform. The black uniform was slim and straight, which made Alden look taller and taller.There were John and several other people in uniform on the tarmac not far away, obviously Alden came with them.
Yin Chen saw the four gold bars on his shoulders and looked away.
Alden smiled at Yin Hang and said, "I saw you here, so I came over to say hello and cheer for the exam."
"Okay! Thank you!" Yin Hang said gratefully.
He nodded, then gave Yin Chen a meaningful look, but turned around and left without saying anything.
Yin Hang looked at his back and suddenly asked, "Brother, what happened to you and Alden?"
"It's nothing..." Yin Chen was startled, and then asked, "What is 'again'...?"
"Haven't you reconciled yet?" Yin Hang said, "Since the last accident, I thought you had reconciled."
"Accident? Reconciliation?"
"Yes, you don't know if you are not in the flying academy." Yin Hang said helplessly, "Didn't the two engines of our training plane fail that time? After you got home, Alden went to check the aircraft inspection and maintenance list. It is said that the aircraft Kelvin was in charge of the most recent inspection, so Alden gave him a hard time."
Yin Chen was shocked, "Alden beat him?"
"That's not true," Yin Hang waved his hand, "He asked John to suspend Kelvin without pay. After all, Kelvin targeted you and Alden everywhere before, and he happened to be responsible for the plane problem this time. It's hard to say whether it's a coincidence or intentional." .”
"But Alden is still very worried about you. After Kelvin's suspension, Alden has to go back to his home in the city center every day to see him, just because he is afraid that he will retaliate against you and you will be in danger." Seeing Yin Chen's surprised expression, Yin Hang asked, "What? He didn't tell you?"
"No." Yin Chen said softly.No wonder Alden would go home every day during this time, he always thought that Alden was just here to help him with theory lessons.
"Oh, brother. To be honest, I really think Alden is very loyal. Besides, apart from Brother Shaoting and Sister Si Lin, I have never seen you have a few close friends. It is rare to have such a good buddy. , you guys get along well," Yin Hang said.
Yin Chen glanced at him and thought, how can I get along well, if I get along well, I will become your sister-in-law.
"Don't meddle in the adult's affairs. Let's take your test." Yin Chen raised his hand and patted the top of Yin Hang's head.
"Cut." Yin Hang made a face and ran away.
As expected, Yin Hang passed the CPL practical flight test easily.Yin Chen saw his report card, the ground theory test and the flight practice test were all Class A+, plus his usual grades, it is basically no problem to get the Honor Degree after graduation.
Yin Chen was very happy. He hugged Yin Hang and said, "You brat, your theoretical test scores are amazing. I only got an A back then."
Facing his brother's praise, Yin Hang smiled a little shyly. His temperament was originally more restrained and calm than Yin Chen's, and he spoke very modestly, "After all, you and Alden have answered my questions in private these days. And when you took the exam back then, there was no captain to help you make a fuss."
Hearing Alden's name, Yin Chen smiled unnaturally, and hurriedly said in a disguised manner: "I think the students who have a good relationship with you, Zhang Yunting and... Jiang Tao, seem to have good grades. Do you want to go tonight?" Go out and celebrate together?"
After all, Yin Chen's unnaturalness was noticed by Yin Hang sharp-eyed.
"What the hell is going on with you and Alden?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yin Chen simply said, "Don't ask more about the two of us, I can't tell you."
Seeing Yin Chen's decisive attitude, Yin Hang no longer persisted.He sighed and asked, "Then tonight...?"
Yin Chen lowered his head and said nothing, and Yin Hang understood most of it.
"You're going back to China soon. Tonight, I'll find a few close classmates to see you off. Anyway, there's still some time before we finish class, and we'll get together after the teacher's side."
"Okay, you guys are OK, come and wait for me in the parking lot, I'll wait for you in the car." Yin Chen said.
Yin Hang nodded, gestured OK to Yin Chen and left.
Tonight, Yin Chen and his party went to Crown, the largest bar in the CBD.Since meeting Yin Chen here, several of them have become regular customers of Crown.
Just as they found a corner to sit down, many drinkers who were familiar with Yin Chen came to greet him, and the warm greeting quickly made Yin Chen's spirits high.Yin Hang and his classmates also eagerly wanted to release the pressure because they had just finished the exam, and excitedly poured wine on each other.
A whistle sounded, and Yin Chen turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Katherine, the bartender standing not far away, smiling and pointing at Yin Chen. The tight-fitting short dress, with the chest lowered, is very hot.
Yin Chen gave a wicked smile, and walked over with a glass of wine.
For more than a month, Katherine tried her best to seduce Yin Chen, but no matter whether she came softly or hard, she was defeated in several confrontations. After all, Katherine has been in the bar for many years, and there are countless ministers under her skirt. After coming and going, she was a little suspicious of Yin Chen's sexuality, and tentatively introduced a few popular female customers in the bar to him, but he accepted them all. Resigned to his fate, he felt that he and this man probably had no destiny, so he no longer insisted.
During this period of intentional or unintentional contact, the two became friends. Katherine told Yin Chen the gossip in the bar from time to time, and Yin Chen didn't mind, and listened to all the conversations while drinking.
For example, Crown's annual Satan selection has started again.
"Why don't you try it?" Katherine took Yin Chen's drink, and slowly twirled her fingertips on his chest, "Even our Crown's most popular female guest, Miss V, slept in your bed, you It's very popular."
Yin Chen stopped the opponent from lighting the fire, and leaned lazily on the bar, "I don't like to join in the fun."
Katherine giggled, "You can't make it this time, the voting ended last weekend."
Yin Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked, "Re-elected?"
Naturally, he asked about the current Satan, who had been re-elected for three years.
Katherine shook her finger and said, "No, he didn't participate this year."
Yin Chen was a little surprised. Although he only saw Satan once at the comeback party last time, he heard a lot of anecdotes about this man when he went clubbing, and he was quite popular.
"But it's expected," Katherine swung her glass. "He suddenly became very busy this year, and he may not be able to come once a month."
"You really care about him." Yin Chen teased.
"Chen, are you jealous?" Katherine laughed, "But don't worry, I have no chance, he only likes men."
Katherine recalled her previous suspicion of Yin Chen's sexuality, and joked, "You can try it, he likes Asians."
I thought I would get a response from Yin Chen, but Yin Chen just drank with a smile.
Katherine asked softly, "Do you want to go and see together later?"
"Look at what?"
"The ceremony to announce the new Satan." Katherine looked at her phone, "At 10 o'clock, it's on the dance floor."
Yin Chen wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear to look at Katherine's expectant eyes for a while, so he agreed.
It was exactly 10pm when Alden entered the Crown.
He walked familiarly along the narrow and long aisle of the bar from the door to the stage. The hosts and regular customers along the way greeted him one after another when they saw him. He nodded politely, but his attitude was a little alienated.
There was a platform where a DJ stood behind the stage. Alden walked over and saw a figure in a white suit.
The man in the white suit just turned around and was surprised and happy to see Alden.He walked over quickly, patted Alden on the shoulder happily, and said, "Didn't you say you were busy tonight? I thought you weren't coming."
"There was something wrong, but he was let go." Alden smiled wryly.
The man in the white suit showed an expression of disbelief when he heard the words, "Is there anyone else who dares to let you go?"
Alden smiled, but said nothing.
"Anyway, it's good if you can come. Our activities today are complete only when you come." The man said and handed Alden a very delicate black mask, and said, "You also go up with me, and give this to him."
With the help of the colorful lights on the dance floor, Alden saw clearly what was in the other party's hands, and said in a refusal tone, "I'm just here to see, so I won't be on stage."
"Damn it, it's already here, doesn't it make sense not to go on stage?" The man in the suit obviously knew Alden quite well, and even pushed and shoved him to the dance floor.
Although Alden was reluctant, but because of the kindness of his friends, he had to straighten his collar, picked up the mask and walked into the dance floor.
The newly elected Satan is a handsome and thin young man with brunette hair. He looks young, speaks with a strong British accent, and dresses with British characteristics.
Katherine introduced to Yin Chen that this man is an overseas student from the UK, studying at the University of Western Australia.
Yin Chen nodded, "It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it here several times. Is he very popular?"
Katherine smiled like a flower and said, "You've been here so long that you don't know much about it. There's a lot of gossip about this boy! He liked the previous Satan, and all the little gays in the bar didn't like him, and no one voted for him." She licked her lips, and changed the subject, "However, this little cutie is a twin, and he is especially destined to be a sister, so all the female customers love him."
Yin Chen smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you like him too?"
"Ha." Katherine's jade bi was placed on Yin Chen's shoulder, and she smiled wantonly.She said leisurely: "I prefer those who can control me, I don't like cuties."
Yin Chen was about to speak, but a burst of cheers and whistles interrupted him. He frowned and put down his glass to look into the dance floor.
Katherine was also attracted by the commotion. She looked away from the crowd, and excitedly called to Yin Chen who was behind her: "Hey, Chen, come and see. The ex-Satan is also here."
Surrounded by the crowd, a tall and handsome Asian man was handing a black mask to the brunette youth in front of him.
The man was wearing rimless glasses, the collar of his shirt was tied meticulously, and a pair of jeweled cufflinks were pinned to his cuffs. His trousers were well-tailored, and his leather shoes were low-key but obviously expensive.This elite style seems to have just arrived from get off work, so appearing in the bar adds a sense of abstinence to the temptation.
The brunette British youth took the mask from the man's hand, but his expression was a little sad.He opened his mouth to say something to the man, but the man smiled calmly but did not answer, turned around and was about to leave.
Yin Chen followed Katherine through the crowd, carefully looked at the two protagonists in the stands, and his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing that the man was about to leave as soon as he appeared, there was a burst of dissatisfied boos from the crowd.
The white suit appeared in a timely manner and blocked the man's way, pulled him back into the dance floor, and said to everyone through the microphone: "Although the protagonist today is not him, it is not so easy to leave!" He winked and said, "Just now the new Satan I told you to stay and play the game, the designated kiss, do you still want to leave?"
Most of the spectators on the dance floor also knew that the current Satan was obsessed with his predecessor, and they booed and applauded.
The man smiled embarrassedly, whispered a few words to the white suit, and shook his head at the new Satan.But the onlookers didn't give him any face, and pushed him and the new Satan to the middle of the dance floor.
The man was pushed back and nearly bumped into the new Satan.He immediately straightened up and distanced himself from Satan without any trace.He raised his head, and all he could see was Yin Chen who was standing in the first row of the crowd.
The two looked at each other, and Yin Chen saw the silent mouth shape when the other party called his name.
