can you be my boyfriend

It was a coincidence to hear them talking on the phone.

Shen Zai was leaning against Nakajima and waiting for the dishes in the microwave oven to heat up, when Shu Yunzhang's cell phone rang, he told Shen Zai casually that it was Shen Fu calling, but turned around and left after hearing a sentence.

He was standing on the balcony next to the kitchen, maybe he didn't know that Shen Zai could hear him very clearly.

Shu Yunzhang's voice was a little soft, he said: "It is a little difficult."

"Shen Zai is already very good."

"Take it back? I think you missed him yourself?"

This time it was quiet for a long time, Shu Yunzhang sighed and said, "Let me try again..."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Yunzhang turned around and met Shen Zai's eyes.

Shen Zai bowed his head hastily, he was sure that Shu Yunzhang had seen him, and probably knew that he had heard a lot.

But this incident made Shen Zai understand that even if Shu Yunzhang told him "I take care of you voluntarily" and "You are not troublesome", he is not completely sure that he can stay for a long time.

And he mentioned "there are still many ways to solve it", which does not rule out giving up directly.

Shu Yunzhang walked in and asked him calmly, "Is it hot?"

Shen Zai glanced at the microwave oven, and it showed that the running light had been turned off, so he said, "Okay."

Shu Yunzhang pretended nothing happened, but Shen Zai was very flustered. For a long time after that, he tried to behave better, and even forced himself to communicate actively, sometimes saying some irrelevant words.

At this time, there are only a few days left to leave school.

The day before school started, Shen Fu's family came to the local area.

Shen Zai was obviously anxious. He knew that if he had to make a new decision, it would be today at the latest.

In the morning, Shen dawdled for a long time while changing clothes, eating breakfast was also very slow, and the whole person looked gloomy.Today Shu Yunzhang will take their family to play here, and the next day they will attend Shen Zai's opening ceremony together, which are clearly some happy things.

The lunch they agreed on was in a shopping mall in the north of the city, which was a little far from Shu Yunzhang's house, so they needed to drive there early.

After getting into the car, Shu Yunzhang didn't light the car for a long time.Shen Zai sat in the co-pilot thinking about it, but he didn't realize it.

In the end Shu Yunzhang couldn't wait any longer, and the sound of unfastening his seat belt brought Shen Zai back to his senses. When he looked at Shu Yunzhang, he had already propped himself up and leaned against Shen Zai.

Shen Zai's face turned red inevitably, Shu Yunzhang's hand reached out to him, missed his shoulder again, and stopped for a moment where Shen Zai's forehead was.

The seat belt was pulled out smoothly by Shu Yunzhang, and then buckled into the keyhole with a soft sound.

"What are you thinking?" Shu Yunzhang looked down at him.

Shen Zai lowered his head and said, "I didn't think about anything."

But it's a pity that Shu Yunzhang has not been with Shen Zai for many days, but he can always see him clearly.

"If you want to stay, tell them."

Shen Zai glanced at Shu Yunzhang with his head tilted. With his hands on the steering wheel, he skillfully drove the car out of the garage.Shen Zai was thinking that maybe he was not much different from a child in Shu Yunzhang's heart.

They arrived earlier and entered the box that Shu Yunzhang had reserved.

Shu Yunzhang poured a cup of tea for Shen Zai, handed it to his hand, Shen Zai took it, put his fingers on the rim of the cup hesitantly, and rubbed it lightly.

"Will you be here all the time?" Shen Zai looked at Shu Yunzhang, because he didn't sleep well the night before, his eye circles were red and tired.

Shu Yunzhang suddenly felt that Shen Zai might have a lot of thoughts that he didn't know who to tell, so he asked him to turn to himself who had only known him for a short time.

He thought of his own benchmarks for being diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder*:

1. Afraid of being criticized or rejected, avoiding work that requires contact with people.

2. Reluctance to form relationships with others unless you are sure you are welcome.

3. Fear of making a fool of yourself or being laughed at.

4. Feel uncomfortable with social activities, feel that you have no strengths and are always inferior to others.

5. Always exaggerates the potential risks of taking personal risks or taking a new job.

6. People with avoidant personality desire to establish an intimate relationship, but they lack confidence in themselves.

7. The best way to get their intimacy is to turn intimacy into a habit.

Although Shu Yunzhang had read many books on this subject and made as detailed preparations as possible for Shen Zai's arrival, the actual situation was still quite different from what he expected.

Even though Shen Zai has some avoidant symptoms, Shen Zai still possesses more of his own characteristics.

For example, in order to reduce the burden on his family, Shen Zai wanted Shu Yunzhang to stay with him, looked at Shu Yunzhang with loving eyes, and said some very simple and sincere words.

"If you wish, then I will," Shu Yunzhang said, "and I've told you, I hope you stay."

Shen Zai calmed down a little as if he was relieved, he stopped talking and rehearsed possible situations in his heart.

Soon Shen Fu came with Shen Fangcheng and Xia Xuenan. Both Shen Fangcheng and Xia Xuenan were over 50 years old, but they still seemed to be in good spirits.

The company they run is so busy that even Shen Zai doesn't see them much.

Xia Xuenan came over first and hugged Shen Zai. She always smelled of perfume, and her delicate makeup concealed the aging brought by her age.

Shen Zai greeted his parents and elder brother in the usual way, and Shu Yunzhang also greeted their family, allowing the waiter to serve the food.

"Little Zai, are you still used to being with Brother Yunzhang?" Xia Xuenan took a sip of tea gracefully, looking at Shen Zai with gentle eyes.

"I'm used to it." Shen Zai said.

Xia Xuenan and Shen Fangcheng looked at each other, and Shen Fangcheng asked him again: "Is it still a bit difficult to listen to your brother?"

When Shu Yunzhang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Fu calmly, and Shen Fu cleared his throat guiltily.

Shen Zai has received nearly two years of psychological treatment, and his symptoms have been relieved a lot. Shen Fu followed some suggestions from the psychiatrist, and finally made the decision to send Shen Zai away.

Before coming to Shu Yunzhang's house, Shen Fu made some agreements with Shen Zai.

For example, if Shen Zai cannot adapt, then he needs to come back.

"It's not difficult." Shen Zai shook his head and looked at his parents sitting opposite him, and touched the back of Shu Yunzhang's hand under the table, "I've gotten along very well with Brother Yunzhang."

Shen Fu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shu Yunzhang in surprise, but Shu Yunzhang ignored him.

"Don't worry, uncles and aunts, I will take good care of Xiaozai." Shu Yunzhang said in a steady voice, turning his palms over to hold Shen Zai's hand, motioning him to say a few words.

"I don't need to take care of it," Shen Zai said, "I've grown up."

His firmness seemed to have really moved Shen Fangcheng and Xia Xuenan, Xia Xuenan took a step back and said, "Let's eat the vegetables first."

Shen Fangcheng, Shen Fu and Shu Yunzhang drank a lot of wine at the table. Shen Fangcheng seemed to be in a good mood and talked more than usual, but he stopped when he talked about Shen Zai and changed the subject abruptly.

Shu Yunzhang listened very carefully, and did not forget to bring food to Shen Zai.

He chose all the ones that Shen Zai likes to eat, but put them far away, and one of them was placed in front of Xia Xuenan.

Shu Yunzhang could only stand up and let him do it, Xia Xuenan said: "Xiao Shu, sit down first."

Then move the dish to Shu Yunzhang.

Shu Yunzhang put the dishes in Shen Zai's bowl, and Shen Zai just held his chopsticks and buried his head in eating, listening to everyone's conversation quietly, basically not participating.

Xia Xuenan looked at Shu Yunzhang with a very gratifying smile, pushed Shen Fu's arm, and said to him: "When will you be like Xiao Shu, let me save myself?"

"Mom, why are you the same as Xiao Zai?" Shen Fu looked at his younger brother who bowed his head, "Your elbows are turning outward."

Shen Zai was embarrassed to say that he didn't have it, because he did.

Shu Yunzhang put one arm on the back of Shen Zai's chair, leaned over and said to him, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

At the end of the meal, Shen Fangcheng asked Shu Yunzhang: "Do you want to go out for a cigarette?"

Shen Zai pulled Shu Yunzhang's shirt.Shen Fangcheng wanted Shu Yunzhang to go out with him alone, so he might have to say a few words.

Shu Yunzhang shook Shen Zai's hand and said, "Uncle, I quit."

Shen Fangcheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay to quit, let's take our two sons to quit too."

"I promised Xiaozai, if you have anything to say, you can say it here, it doesn't matter."

Shen Zai sat up straight, getting closer to Shu Yunzhang's arm.

Shen Fangcheng hesitated for a moment, but still took out the prepared red envelope.

The red envelope was not thick, and Shen Zai felt that there was a high probability that they would put a bank card in it.

Sure enough, Xia Xuenan immediately said: "This is just some of our thoughts, the password is Xiaozai's birthday."

Shen Zai thought that Shu Yunzhang would refuse, but unexpectedly he stood up and took it, and said some common scene words, which made Shen Fangcheng and Xia Xuenan very happy.

Shen Fu crossed his arms and looked at Shu Yunzhang with a smile.

After the meal was over, a few people waited at the entrance of the hotel for the parking boy to drive up the car. Shen Fu called a substitute driver. While waiting, he stood beside Shu Yunzhang, and what he said to him was heard by Shen Fu.

"Shu Yunzhang, I haven't seen you for a few years, you're a bit amazing."

"What's so great?" Shu Yunzhang pretended to be stupid, and his voice was hoarse after drinking.

"It seems that you will be very good at handling the old man in the future." Shen Fu patted him on the shoulder, and the car just arrived.

Before getting into the car, Xia Xuenan and Shen Fangcheng hugged Shen Zai, and Shen Fu also opened his arms and said, "Brother, happy school starts, I wish you good luck."

Shen Zai walked up and hugged Shen Fu, saying: "Thank you brother."

After seeing them off, Shen Zai and Shu Yunzhang also got into the car. The driver was a middle-aged man who didn't like chatting much.

The two sat in the back seat, Shu Yunzhang took out the red envelope that Shen Fangcheng had given him earlier, turned his head, and asked Shen Zai softly, "What's your birthday?"

Shu Yunzhang got a little closer, his breath had a strong aroma of wine.

"In winter, February 2th."

"Okay, keep the card by yourself." Shu Yunzhang stuffed the red envelope into Shen's palm.

"You don't want it?" Shen Zai asked in surprise.

"Why?" Shu Yunzhang looked out of the window and repeated again incomprehensibly, "I voluntarily."

Shu Yunzhang's reason for taking the red envelope was justified, but Shen Zai still hoped that he could accept it, so he stuffed the red envelope into Shu Yunzhang's coat again.

"What are you doing?" Shu Yunzhang turned his head back with a smile, the alcohol stained his eyes some crimson, and when he and Shen Zai whispered, they were extremely sexy.

"You want to sell yourself to me?"

Shen Zai looked at Shu Yunzhang with his face up for a while, and wanted to take the red envelope back with his red neck, but Shu Yunzhang suddenly refused to let it go, holding a corner of the red envelope in his hand, and Shen Zai snatched it many times without taking it away.

"It's so hot." Shu Yunzhang complained.

Shen Zai could tell that he had drunk too much, so he sat a little closer to him.

"Can you untie a button?" Shen Zai's voice trembled when he asked this question.

Shu Yunzhang didn't answer him, but he was still breathing heavily.

Shen Zai didn't wait, because if he heard Shu Yunzhang say "not good", Shen Zai would feel very uncomfortable.

He put his finger on the mother-of-pearl button, pushed his thumb in, and took off the fabric with his other hand, and the button was easily undone.

When she withdrew her hand, Shen Zai took the bank card with a red neck.

"It's much more comfortable, thank you." Shu Yunzhang said, flexing his fingers, and loosening the place that was stuck on the collar.
