Hidden Summer

In the evening of the next day, there was a light rain in the sky.It is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold, Cao Liyu couldn't help shivering when he rushed into the community building.

Cao Liyu originally thought that a little rain would be no problem, but he forgot that it was already late autumn, and it was not like summer, when the rain was like a shower; the cold in this weather invaded the clothes in an instant.I hope I can get home early and take a hot bath to drive away the cold.

After opening the door, Cao Liyu threw his satchel on the floor next to the sofa, went back to his room, took a change of clothes and rushed to the bathroom.A second before rushing into the bathroom, he caught a glimpse of someone sitting by the patio door.Li Hang sat on the threshold of the terrace with his back to him, some pliers, hammers, scissors and other tools were thrown on the floor, as well as several empty or full cans of beer.

Ordinarily, there was a lot of movement after Cao Liyu returned home, but Li Hang turned a deaf ear to him and didn't say hello. Sure enough, he was still sulking about what happened the night before.Just as Xiao Yu expected, after a day, and with Xiao Yu's persuasion, Cao Liyu didn't mind Li Hang's words and deeds last night.He even understood Li Hang very well.Feeling my conscience, even if I am as enthusiastic as Cao Liyu, I will not worry about the friendship of an insignificant person; it is precisely because I value someone that I can enjoy my own care.So he quickly figured it out, no matter what, he shouldn't have a cold war with Li Hang over what happened yesterday.

Seeing that Li Hang was drinking alone without saying a word, and his slightly arched back looked so lonely and desolate, Cao Liyu deeply reflected on whether he spoke too seriously last night.

Cao Liyu was not in a hurry to take a bath anymore. When he walked behind Li Hang, the slippers made a clear slapping sound, but Li Hang still didn't turn his head. Looking at his back, Cao Liyu felt a little stubborn and awkward, and couldn't help feeling that he was a rare buddy. Some children on the ground were so cute, so they decided to be softer.

"Li Hang, I'm back." Cao Liyu said still standing behind Li Hang.

It took two seconds for Li Hang to reply lightly "Oh".

"What are you doing?" Cao Liyu put away the tools on the ground and sat down beside Li Hang. Two big men crowded the narrow threshold.

Li Hang finally turned his head and took a look at Cao Liyu, his face was much better than Cao Liyu guessed, not so gloomy.He looked at Cao Liyu's damp body, and frowned: "It's raining? Why don't you know how to buy an umbrella?"

Cao Liyu smiled nonchalantly, and was heartbroken by Li Hang's consistent concern in his words: "It's raining, it's okay to get a little wet. If I buy an umbrella whenever it rains, I will be able to set up a stall to sell umbrellas in a short time. I Go take a hot shower later."

He remembered that Li Hang liked to be clean, so he probably didn't like his wet body getting on him, so he moved a little to the side.Seeing his little movements, Li Hang didn't say anything, and took another sip of his wine.

"You haven't said what you are doing yet. Drinking alone? Young Master Cao, let me accompany you." Cao Liyu also opened a can of beer and drank it, and the cold wine in the refrigerator was poured into it. Stomach, Cao Liyu trembled slightly again.

"Suddenly I thought of building a roof for the 'world'. After all, the ceiling of the terrace is high, so I'm afraid it will be damaged by wind and rain." Li Hang didn't stop Cao Liyu, and chatted with him while drinking.

Cao Liyu noticed the plastic film ceiling supported on the micro-landscape, and the thick wire skeleton looked very strong.He suddenly remembered that he had been in City B for so long, except for occasionally watching and playing with their "world", he seemed to have not fulfilled his duties as a "master" at all.Xiao Yu would sometimes play around with various small models inside, but she didn't take care of it at all.Only once did he ask if he should water the "world", and Li Hang said that he had been taking care of the plants in the "world" regularly, so Cao Liyu didn't have to worry about it.Speaking of which, since college days, it was Li Hang who took care of the "world" of the three of them by himself. Seeing how the "world" is so vibrant now, Li Hang must have put a lot of thought into it. "World" has an unusual meaning to the three good buddies, so Li Hang's emphasis on it made Cao Liyu deeply feel his cherishment of the friendship between the three.

He really shouldn't have quarreled with Li Hang just because of a few words.Cao Liyu thought guiltily.

"Li Hang, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you yesterday. I was wrong." Cao Liyu apologized bluntly, "I thought about it. You said those words because you were worried about me. Don't be angry."

Li Hang raised his head and drank the beer in his hand, put the can at his feet, and then said in a deep voice: "No, what you said yesterday is correct, I should neither label others without authorization, nor have the right to interfere your friend."

"Hey, I've apologized, you're a man, so make up."

"Xiao Yu told you to come to me and make up, right?"

"Xiao Yu persuaded me..."

"As long as you are Xiao Yu, you will do as you say. It really hasn't changed at all. Xiao Yu is also always worried that you will be separated from us. How selfish..."

"What are you muttering about? I bowed my head because what Xiao Yu said made sense. Otherwise, it was your fault in the first place, and you should bow your head first."

"You're right, you're all right...why are you two so naive and cruel, obviously I'm the one who cares the most about you, but in the end I'm like a fool..."

Cao Liyu was already confused by Li Hang's monologue, he couldn't understand what Li Hang was talking about at all, he only knew that he seemed to be worrying about something he didn't understand, but he could really feel Li Hang's emotions deep sorrow.He thought, alcohol really wears down a person's nerves so that they become fragile and sensitive. Even if he is as loud as Li Hang with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he is as omnipotent as Li Hang, there are times when he needs someone to comfort him.After racking his brains a lot, Cao Liyu finally leaned against Li Hang, pressing his palm on his cool shoulder.

"We all know that you are good to us. You are the best to me in the world except my parents. I have told you several times, right? Sometimes I have to doubt myself. Why should I let you do this?" The boss is so kind to me. I didn't find a chance to repay you, but it doesn't mean I'm ungrateful, but you are too capable to give me a chance to do something for you!"

Li Hang looked at Cao Liyu's sincere expression and pursed his lips. Although he didn't smile, his tone was much gentler: "I don't need you to stab me in the ribs."

Cao Liyu chuckled: "I don't want anyone to want to stab you twice~ But to be honest, sometimes even I feel that you have done too much as a friend. Why are you so nice to me?"

Li Hang stared at Cao Liyu's smiling eyebrows, not knowing how to answer the question Cao Liyu asked more than once.In fact, Cao Liyu asked casually, half-jokingly, and he could also say "because we are good friends", but as time went by, as Cao Liyu trusted him more and more unconditionally, some words became more and more serious. It's hard to say something, some words are buried deeper and deeper in my heart.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew and brought a drizzle. Cao Liyu's nose was itchy, and he couldn't help but sneezed twice.Li Hang got up and gave him two tissues, then sat down side by side again.

Cao Liyu sneezed while blowing his nose, tears came out.Seeing how his neck was shrinking, Li Hang naturally rubbed the top of Cao Liyu's hair.Cao Liyu turned his face with his movements, his nose and eye circles were a little red.

"Hurry up and take a shower, don't catch a cold." Li Hang said softly.

"Well, are we reconciled?" Cao Liyu felt a little itchy in his nose, and couldn't help sniffling.

"It's reconciled, and I don't want to quarrel with you." Li Hang's fingers slid down, and he wiped away the tears from the corners of Cao Liyu's eyes with his thumb.

Cao Liyu was relieved, and burst into an incomparably bright smile.Li Hang's fingertips were still wet with the warmth of Cao Liyu's skin, and he could see every ray of light in Cao Liyu's pupils. He smiled: "You are such a simple fool."

Cao Liyu was still puzzled by Li Hang's slightly frowning smiling face one second ago, but in the next second, only Li Hang's infinitely enlarged black eyes, raised corners, and slender and thick eyelashes remained in his sight.

Cao Liyu tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep.

His head was a little dizzy, his eyelids were a little heavy, and his mouth felt a little dry, but he couldn't sleep, and he didn't want to get up to drink water, he just wanted to roll under the covers.

He wasn't sure if Li Hang kissed him.He could smell the warm smell of alcohol in Li Hang's mouth, but he didn't remember the touch of his lips.Maybe their lips didn't touch at all, maybe they touched but so softly that they didn't feel it.If he hadn't met, why did Li Hang suddenly become ambiguous?If it happened, why would Li Hang pull him up from the threshold and throw him into the bathroom in the next second as if nothing had happened?

And those questions that Cao Liyu vaguely noticed but didn't have time to think about, also came to mind one by one-Xu Zhiyuan and Liang Dong had a close relationship, so was the familiar person he ran into outside the bar last night Liang Dong?Liang Dong ran a bar, and Li Hang and the others avoided letting Cao Liyu get in touch with that bar circle, was it because that was the gay bar he went to last night?Liang Dong is the owner of the gaybar, Xu Zhiyuan is gay, they both knew Li Hang and Xiao Yu and played together before he came, what does this mean?And why did Li Hang treat himself so well unconditionally?What did Li Hang mean by what he said today?Did he want to kiss himself then?Or did he kiss himself?What does this mean?

Li Hang's eyes that were always black and bright like midnight lingered in Cao Liyu's mind, and a series of questions bombarded his mind endlessly like a perpetually moving bomber. It wasn't until the world in his brain was razed to the ground that he fell asleep in the chaos.

Cao Liyu has a fever.

Today is Saturday, luckily he doesn't have to call in sick.

After ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yu didn't see Cao Liyu getting up to eat, so he finally couldn't help knocking on his door.Before Cao Liyu could answer for a long time, Xiao Yu opened the door and entered, only to find him curled up in bed sleeping drowsily, with an unnatural blush and thin sweat on his face.

Xiao Yu panicked, and insisted on waking Cao Liyu up, and asked him a few words to make sure that he was still conscious, then stuffed him back into the bed and wrapped the quilt tightly.Xiao Yu first fed Cao Liyu some boiled water, then took out the thermometer and took his temperature. When he saw that it was 39 degrees 2, he quickly called Li Hang, who went to the store early in the morning, and asked him to turn the car off. Drive back and take Cao Liyu to the hospital.

After a lot of chaos, the three finally found an empty bench in the corridor of the hospital to sit and rest.Cao Liyu held the bottle with his right hand and fell asleep leaning on Xiao Yu's shoulder.Sitting next to Xiao Yu, Li Hang glanced at Cao Liyu's flushed face from time to time.

"Last night, he should have been forced to swallow two tablets of Phenomamin. He is too bad at taking care of himself. He doesn't know how to get up and take medicine when he's not feeling well. He insists on getting a high fever and going to the hospital, just like a child." Xiao Yu complained softly helplessly, moved her body slightly to adjust her sitting posture, and at the same time, was careful not to wake up Cao Liyu.

"Well, I'm as stubborn as a cow, but I just refuse to take medicine, which makes me a headache." Li Hang answered in agreement.

"Liyu was a little weird last night, are you still arguing?"

"No, we made up."

"Then no matter how I see it, he didn't say a few words to you, and he sneaked a peek at you from time to time? Li Yu also told me what was going on. The two of them are actually right. He also wants to reconcile. Hang Hang Don't worry about it anymore."

"I've told him to reconcile... He must have alienated me because of other things."

"What happened again?"

"It's nothing, it will be fine in two days."

Li Hang leaned on the back of the chair, staring intently at the tip of his shoe, lost in his own thoughts.Xiao Yu looked at him, frowned, and didn't ask any more questions.

After returning home, Xiao Yu made lunch, specially made a small bowl of steamed meat (*note), stir-fried a small green vegetable, and brought the dish to Cao Liyu's room.He put the food on the bedside table, helped Cao Liyu to sit up, and then began to feed him one bite at a time.

"I don't need to feed it, I can eat it myself." Cao Liyu refused awkwardly.

"You can eat by yourself, but do you have the strength in your wrist now? I'm afraid you'll spill it on the bed." Xiao Yu, who has always been docile, took a strong hand this time.Looking at Xiao Yu's expression of not being able to refuse, Cao Liyu was not reconciled, but he could only accept the "food that comes with a sigh of relief".

After coming back, he drank a lot of boiled water again, Cao Liyu's fever had receded, and his face was no longer flushed, but a little pale.Seeing that a drop of broth was about to fall onto the quilt along Cao Liyu's chin, Xiao Yu quickly took out a tissue and wiped it for him.

Cao Liyu suddenly laughed: "Xiao Yu'er, you gave me the feeling of my mother~"

Xiao Yu immediately greeted Cao Liyu on the forehead with a burst of chestnuts, but the strength was not painful: "Nonsense, it's not that I resemble your mother, but that you are too much like a child."

"No way, I am a seven-foot man who stands upright." Cao Liyu objected.

"That's what a child would say." Xiao Yu handed another spoonful of food to Cao Liyu's mouth.

"I'm telling the truth." He obediently opened his mouth to eat.

"You just don't know how to take care of yourself, so only Hang and I can worry a little more." Xiao Yu couldn't help smiling indulgently when he saw Cao Liyu eating cutely with puffed cheeks.

"...Xiao Yu," Cao Liyu stared seriously at Xiao Yu's eyes after thinking about it, "during the time I was not here, are you and Li Hang... having a good time?"

Xiao Yu was stunned, unable to figure out Cao Liyu's intention for asking this question.Did he know something?Or just a test?Or just ordinary concern?

In the end, Xiao Yu decided to follow Cao Liyu's words and keep calm: "It's good, but I miss you sometimes."

"Xiao Yu, I also value you two good buddies the most. So you can tell me anything, and I want to share some troubles for you."

Xiao Yu's heart was shaken by Cao Liyu's clear and straight eyes, and some words almost rolled to the tip of his tongue.But he can't get carried away because he is moved, maybe one day he will want Cao Liyu to confess all the secrets in his heart, but he still needs to be more convinced of Cao Liyu's thoughts, he can't take any risk.

He agreed, and wiped Cao Liyu's mouth again.

*Note: Steamed meat - whole lean meat, chopped into minced meat, pinched with a small amount of starch, added a small amount of salt and rice wine, and an appropriate amount of boiling water, steamed over water, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onion.Cool and light, suitable for patients with fever to eat.I do this for myself and my friends when they have a cold. :)
