Hidden Summer

When he woke up the next day, Cao Liyu belatedly felt a little awkward.Li Hang sleeps with only a pair of underpants, so at this moment his thin but strong upper body is only pressed against Cao Liyu's back through a thin T-shirt, and those slender and powerful arms are wrapping around his chest.Cao Liyu couldn't turn his head to look at Li Hang's current sleeping posture, but the sound of the other party's breathing regularly brushing against his ears helped him to outline the current posture of the two of them in his mind.Suddenly Cao Liyu felt ashamed.

Twisted a few times trying to break free from Li Hang's shackles but failed, Cao Liyu called out to the other party twice, and kicked the person behind him with his only free feet.But such a gentle way of waking up really couldn't shake Li Hang, the god of sleep, he just muttered a few unclear words, moved his body and adjusted to a more comfortable sleeping position, and wrapped his feet up This prevents further harassment.Cao Liyu even felt that Li Hang unconsciously rubbed his morning reaction on his lower back, and his scalp went numb instantly.

"Li Hang—! Go back to your room!!!"

In the end, Cao Liyu achieved his goal of getting away with a yell, but Li Hang didn't go back to his room, but turned over with a sullen face in a dazed state, and hugged the crumpled quilt instead.

Cao Liyu put on his clothes in a bit of embarrassment and came out of the bedroom. When he looked up, he met Xiao Yu's complicated eyes.He suddenly felt extremely ashamed, and almost wanted to turn his head and retreat into the room.But it was as if he had done something wrong, so Cao Liyu straightened his back and pretended to be relaxed: "Morning! Xiao Yu'er got up so early!"

Xiao Yu lowered his head and continued to drink the boiled water, and asked in a blunt tone: "Morning, the porridge has just been cooked, let's eat together after you wash up. That... why did Li Hang go to sleep in your room?"

"He, I don't know what happened to him last night. I don't know when he slipped over. Maybe he was stimulated by something? Do you know?"

"I don't know either. Yesterday I was very tired and went to bed early...Did Li Hang tell you anything?"

"If there is something to say, I won't be as confused as I am now. This kid is sometimes inexplicably gloomy. I really should tell him to change."

"Really..." Xiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Liyu go into the bathroom.He immediately looked at the closed door of Cao Liyu's room, walked over to open the door lightly, and stood beside the bed.

Looking down at Li Hang's tranquil side face, Xiao Yu's brows slightly relaxed.He bent down and gently kissed the corner of Li Hang's eyes with apology.Unexpectedly, Li Hang opened his eyes at this moment, stretched out his hand to press down on Xiao Yu's neck, pecked lightly on his lips, then let go of his hand and continued to sleep under Xiao Yu's surprised eyes.

Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled in relief, and exited the room lightly.

After a night of bewilderment, everything seemed to be back to normal.Li Hang still often teased Cao Liyu to find opportunities to quarrel with him, while Xiao Yu acted as a neutralizer between the two with a good temper.Cao Liyu soon stopped worrying about what happened that day. Who didn't have a bad mood for a day or two?It's just that the weather was bad that day.

The time for Li Hang to go home became more and more late, and it was said that he had to inspect the bar shop every day.Cao Liyu still lives a step-by-step life as an office worker, enjoying a slightly different freshness every day.Xiao Yu had a lot of leisure time, and always left work on time or even earlier, waiting at home for Cao Liyu to come home for dinner.

Recently, Cao Liyu has developed the habit of going to the gymnasium of a nearby university to play basketball at night.A few days ago, Cao Liyu and Xiao Yu walked to the nearby university after dinner, and when they passed the gymnasium, they were attracted by the lively sound.In addition to college students, some non-school personnel also paid to borrow the venue here to exercise, but that day Cao Liyu dragged Xiao Yu around the gymnasium, and finally got into the room from a small path in the bushes that outsiders didn't pay attention to. The back door of the tennis court, and then through to the basketball court.

Since Cao Liyu came to City B, he hasn't had any chance to play sports, let alone play basketball, and he can't find any companions at all.He was the power forward of the school basketball team from high school to college, and the stadium is the battlefield where he sweats.The moment he stood on the side of the court again, the sound of footsteps, dribbling, shouting, the creaking sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor, and the heat in the air all made Cao Liyu's hands itch.

Xiao Yu looked at Cao Liyu's eager expression, smiled and pushed him, and looked at him teasingly.Cao Liyu immediately grinned with a big smile, ran into a group of students who were resting, and discussed with them.Not long after, Cao Liyu ran back to the sidelines, threw his coat to Xiao Yu, and plunged into the students.

To be honest, although Cao Liyu is considered a social person now, when he gallops on the court and mingles with a group of college students, there is no trace of social tempering on him at all.Xiao Yu sat on the sidelines and watched attentively. Every movement of his was as explosive as in memory. His eyes were still sharp when he was serious, and his signature movement of celebrating when he scored a goal had not changed. He turned to Xiao Yu's face. The bright smile on his face was still so dazzling, and Xiao Yu also gave him a bright smile in return.

Since then, walking with Cao Liyu to school every day and watching him play has become Xiao Yu's most enjoyable time.At this moment, he felt as if everything had returned to his student days. Cao Liyu was still the sunny boy who was like a king of children, and he was still the ignorant boy who was attracted by Cao Liyu's light.

There must be various reasons for liking someone, but Xiao Yu felt that if she really counted them one by one, her feelings would be too superficial.His liking for Cao Liyu must have been accumulated over a long period of time, otherwise he wouldn't even find the other party's rough and rough shortcomings cute.

Did I fall in love with Cao Liyu because I liked the same sex, or did I become gay because I liked Cao Liyu?He can't remember.But by the time he realized it, he couldn't extricate himself.

Xiao Yu is quiet and reserved, even a little lonely, because he can't help being nervous or even panic when he is in a noisy social place, so if there is no Cao Liyu and Li Hang, he may become a lone ranger who lives alone.Before meeting Cao Liyu, Xiao Yu and Li Hang were already inseparable friends, and no one could intervene between them before.But Cao Liyu just appeared in such a big way.The little boy stood there proudly with his chest out, with the brightest smile on his face, and said to them as if it was a matter of course, "Let me play with you!"

Cao Liyu has always been the sun among the three of them, or it should be said, he has always been the sun in everyone's eyes.He has many friends, and it is always easy to call out friends and bring them together.And no matter how well Cao Liyu got along with other people, he would always return to Xiao Yu and Li Hang, as if they were his only destination, which made Xiao Yu feel extremely at ease and satisfied.But people are always greedy.

One weekend in the first year of high school, the three of them made an appointment to go cycling to the suburbs to climb mountains.At that time, among the three, only Cao Liyu had a girlfriend who had been dating since junior high school, and he brought him along with him.The four of them rode bicycles to the foot of the mountain, and before they had climbed a few steps, the girl yelled hotly, tired, and hurt her feet, and refused to continue climbing.

Cao Liyu persuaded the girl for a long time not to buy it, and finally he was not happy, and said to his girlfriend: "If I knew this, why did you come with me?"

The girl refused to accept, and contradicted with grievance: "I want you to watch a movie with me and you refuse, but you insist on climbing a mountain, what can I do?"

"Then why don't you follow me?"

"It's rare for us to date on weekends, so you should accompany me! If you don't want to, then I have to accompany you!"

"Didn't I say that, I made an appointment with Li Hang and Xiao Yu a long time ago!"

"Is that important to them or to me?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.Li Hang obviously didn't like to get involved in these troublesome matters, so he walked silently to the side of the road ahead to rest.Xiao Yu looked at the angry and embarrassed Cao Liyu, and couldn't help feeling disgusted with that cute girl.

——Using himself as a bargaining chip to provoke Cao Liyu and their friendship!Damn it!What's even worse is that just because she is Cao Liyu's girlfriend, she can act willfully and show her temper. She can force Cao Liyu to only look at her alone, but she doesn't even think about it. If that's the case, what should I do?

Xiao Yu was stunned, he didn't understand why he had such an idea.Girls act like a baby with their boyfriends, and boys are a little bit more tolerant. It's a matter of course. Why do I feel unreasonable?And as a friend, I should be more generous in sacrificing a little time for group activities for the love of my friends, but why does he feel unbearable when he thinks that Cao Liyu will alienate himself because of this?Obviously, I have always been calm and calm in dealing with people and things, why did I have a feeling of jealousy?

Before Xiao Yu could think clearly, Cao Liyu waved his hand impatiently and said to the girl, "Either you go back first, or wait for us here."

This merciless words immediately broke the girl's heart. Seeing Cao Liyu wanted to turn around and leave, the girl broke down and cried while hugging her knees.

Xiao Yu felt that his expression at this moment must be very ugly, because he actually gave birth to an incomparable sense of superiority!Proud of Cao Liyu's choice without hesitation!

But in fact, he comforted the girl gently, and then persuaded Cao Liyu to stay with his girlfriend.But he is very clear that his heart has been distorted,

In the end, it was Li Hang who suggested that the four of them change their itinerary and ride along the banks of the river in the suburbs, so that the day's outing could continue.

Later, Cao Liyu broke up with that girl not long after they dated again.

From then on, Xiao Yu found that he began to care about Cao Liyu and his date.Whenever Cao Liyu showed special affection for his girlfriend, Xiao Yu would feel lost; whenever Cao Liyu did something for his girlfriend that he and Li Hang had never done together, Xiao Yu would be secretly jealous; When Cao Liyu talked about his relationship with his girlfriend with great interest, Xiao Yu's heart would feel sore and ache.He thought, he was either sick, or fell in love with his good friend.

This recognition made Xiao Yu feel scared at first.But compared to his unusual sexuality of falling in love with men, he is more afraid that his shady feelings will destroy everything he already has.However, as time went by, he slowly accepted himself and the fact that he fell in love with Cao Liyu.Because in the process of growing up, Cao Liyu used actions to tell him again and again that no matter what happened, Xiao Yu and Li Hang were his most important friends that would never change.

When the last summer vacation of high school is approaching, after which the three of them will pursue their own lives separately, Xiao Yu strengthened his determination—he wanted to tell Cao Liyu his feelings, no matter success or failure, as long as Cao Liyu was still willing Stay by his side, even if it's just an ordinary friend, he won't regret it.

However, during that whole summer, he didn't say the words of confession in the end.

Because Cao Liyu smiled and said to him: "So, you must not fall in love with me, that's too disgusting."

Cao Liyu didn't go to play basketball that day, because it was the birthday of their department head, and the head invited a dozen or so people from the whole department to go to KTV to have fun.

Because the next day was still a working day, everyone didn't indulge too much, didn't drink too much alcohol, and didn't play too late, and the show ended before ten o'clock.When Cao Liyu came out of the KTV, he always felt a little unfulfilled, so he went to the bar street next door as soon as he turned his footsteps.

This street was as bustling and noisy as ever that night, full of luxury and luxury.Because he only wanted to have another drink by himself, Cao Liyu wanted to find the bar that Xu Zhiyuan took him to, but he quickly lost his way amidst the feasting and feasting, and he couldn't even tell where he came from. Clear.At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure, whose overhanging figure and clothes made him feel a little familiar.Before he could confirm, the man had already entered a bar, and Cao Liyu followed him in a strange way.

This bar is called Cool Frozen, which is obviously a transliteration from the weird English name Cool Frozen.The Mediterranean-style decoration of the bar is very emotional. The decorative paintings displayed in the bar are not simple copies, but each one has a copy of the brushstrokes, and many decorations can also see the traces of hand-made.On the stage, there are bands playing blues and singers humming mesmerizing tunes.The vibe of this bar feels a bit laid-back, but even more bewitching.

Cao Liyu found a seat at the bar booth, and asked the slender but straight bartender for a glass of milder Manhattan.Before tasting the cocktail he ordered, Cao Liyu had already begun to look forward to it, because the bartender's bartending movements were the most chic, beautiful and elegant he had ever seen.After tasting the first sip of the slightly spicy, rich and sweet aroma, Cao Liyu confirmed his guess with satisfaction, and couldn't help but take out the cigarette holder, and casually put the cigarette case by his hand.

Amidst the mellow aroma of the wine, the lingering smoke, and the provocative music, Cao Liyu really felt that he was going to get drunk.At this time, a man sat on his left, ordered a cup of Tequila Sunrise, and then casually smoked one from Cao Liyu's cigarette case and lit it.

Cao Liyu turned his face in a daze, and the man next to him just spit out an eye circle, squinting his eyes and smiling slightly at him.This man's facial features are very delicate, and his cat-like round eyes are especially beautiful. Cao Liyu can't find the right words to describe the feeling of this man.He raised the corners of his lips and tilted his head to ask Cao Liyu, "This is the first time here? The neutral Manhattan here is very good, right?"

Cao Liyu also forgot to pursue the other party's act of smoking his cigarette without authorization, and glanced at the goblet in his hand a little dazedly, before replying with a smile: "Well, it's great."

The good-looking man chuckled, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "How old are you? You still look young."

"Me? 25." Cao Liyu didn't understand why this man who had just met for the first time asked him about his situation directly, but since the other party seemed to have no malicious intentions, he answered truthfully.

"So tender, two years younger than me. Hello, my name is Jiang Yao. How about you?"

"I……"

Cao Liyu was hesitating whether to tell this strange stranger his name, when suddenly a hand was placed on Jiang Yao's shoulder: "Jiang Yao, I'm sorry to spoil your interest today, this person probably hit him by mistake. came in."

As soon as Jiang Yao heard the voice, his face turned cold, and he slapped his hands on his shoulders unceremoniously and stared back: "Do you know him?"

The man smiled indifferently: "Well, my friend."

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, took the Tequila Sunrise handed by the bartender and left the bar, and said flatly: "Your friend, it's a pity, sooner or later I'll be as virtuous as you."

Hearing the words, the man seemed to sigh helplessly, shook his head, and then looked at Cao Liyu: "Why did you come here?"

Cao Liyu stared blankly at the man's gradually clear face under the shaking colorful lights, and confirmed softly with some disbelief: "Xu Zhiyuan?"
