Hidden Summer

Cao Liyu confirmed softly with some disbelief: "Xu Zhiyuan?"

Although the man in front of him was indeed the same face he knew, and the voice he remembered, but his clothes looked like a completely different person.After taking off the shirts, suits and coats that Cao Liyu was accustomed to, the man's attire was not fancy but obviously much more gorgeous.The waxed hairstyle is neat and stylish, the iron-gray shirt with two collar buttons unbuttoned has the warm luster of silk, the dark red striped tie is trimmed with gold thread, and the black casual pants with small feet perfectly embellish a pair of straight Long legs, rolled up trousers revealing an ankle and casual leather shoes in black and white color matching.The man in front of him looked like a social prince, but he smiled and nodded at Cao Liyu, confirming his guess.

"Your image is too different from what I saw before? I almost couldn't recognize it!" Cao Liyu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Maybe it's a bit different from when I was at work. I definitely can't be a serious disappointment when I come to the nightclub at night. What about you? Why are you here?" Xu Zhiyuan took the seat next to Cao Liyu and looked at him with his hands on his cheeks.

"Me, I sang at a nearby KTV with my colleagues at night, and I felt a little unsatisfied when I came out, so I came to this street to drink."

"Did you just walk into this bar?"

"Eh, not really. I saw someone who looked a bit like someone I knew, so I followed in. But maybe I was wrong, hehe, it's not wrong anyway, the bartending is very good."

Xu Zhiyuan smiled twice with his eyes bent, and said casually: "There is more than one good bar on this street. If you are interested, I will recommend it to you. You should change to another one next time."

"Why? I want to try another wine next time."

"Because... this is a gaybar, do you understand?"

Cao Liyu understood, so he was stunned. Cao Liyu is no stranger to the word "gay". He even has a friend who was a college classmate who came together with the same sex. Because he knows the relationship of his friends, he does not reject them. It feels like an ordinary male and female couple. .But apart from that friend, he himself has never really had any interaction with people in this circle (string: ^-^).So now he suddenly realized that he was now in such a world that seemed to be isolated from him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking carefully about the words and deeds of the strange man who spoke to him, he suddenly understood what happened before, and couldn't help but get goosebumps on his back and arms.Thinking about what Xu Zhiyuan said to that person before, it seems that he helped him out.but……

"Then why are you playing here...?" Cao Liyu's tone was hesitant and tentative. In fact, he felt that his question had no technical content.

Sure enough, Xu Zhiyuan didn't even answer him directly, but asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Cao Liyu coughed in embarrassment, lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, and glanced at Xu Zhiyuan's expression: "It's nothing, I also have a friend who is gay, although he wasn't originally, but he didn't become weird after being with men, it's still A normal guy. I understand, I understand."

Xu Zhiyuan still looked at Cao Liyu, who was embarrassed but not disgusted, and felt very fond of this young man he met by chance.Cao Liyu is natural, pure, cute, and energetic. He is the type I like, but it is a pity that he is straight.Except for the fact that Xu Zhiyuan challenged a straight man when he was younger, he no longer likes to do such strenuous and not necessarily pleasing things.And he enjoys the distance of nodding acquaintance with Cao Liyu, so he has no plans to make a move.

But it shouldn't be too much to appreciate and tease.Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyuan also smoked one from Cao Liyu's cigarette case like Jiang Yao, but he didn't rush to light it, he just played with his fingertips: "If you really want to come here to drink, it's not impossible, But you need someone to accompany you. Otherwise, you can sit alone at the bar and drink like today, and put the cigarette case and lighter like this, proclaiming the atmosphere of "single to date" all over your body, as long as you are a "hunting" comrade They will all follow you. And you have good conditions, I believe that if you sit longer, more people will strike up a conversation."

When Cao Liyu heard Xu Zhiyuan's words, his scalp felt numb, and he looked at the other party with an expression of "you must be kidding me", but found that Xu Zhiyuan was smiling teasingly, so he knew that he had entertained the other party.

"Just make fun of me, this time I'll admit it." Cao Liyu finished his glass of wine angrily.

"Although I'm joking, I'm telling the truth. Fortunately, I'm here today. Otherwise, Jiang Yao will be watching you. Maybe you will become a regular visitor here in a few days."

"How can I be so unfocused!"

"I see that you and Jiang Yao had a very speculative chat."

"No, I'm still wondering what he's going to do."

"Hehe, I'm planning to go back too. Should we drop by? Take a taxi together?"

"You don't want to continue playing?"

"Forget it, I don't have much interest today, but you gave me a 'surprise'."

Cao Liyu squinted at Xu Zhiyuan who had been teasing him all the time, but he felt that today's exchange made him feel that this person is good and can be a friend.

The two checked out the bar together, quickly took a taxi and left the feasting here.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, and Cao Liyu pushed the door and went down.Cao Liyu waved goodbye to Xu Zhiyuan, turned around and was about to enter the community, when Xu Zhiyuan poked his head out of the passenger window and stopped him.

"Wait, let's change the phone number. Another day you want to have a drink and call me. I'll show you the way."

"Okay!"

Cao Liyu simply reported his mobile phone number - although the two had drank together before, they really didn't expect to exchange numbers.When his cell phone rang, Cao Liyu saved Xu Zhiyuan's number before turning around and going home.

Before the sound of the car leaving behind him drifted away, Cao Liyu was stopped by someone, and when he turned his head, Li Hang was walking towards him.

"Eh? You just came back too?" Cao Liyu was a little drunk and giggled.

"Well, I came here from a walk from the subway station." Seeing Cao Liyu's obviously drunk and foolish look, Li Hang's gloomy face was not very good-looking, "Who did you come back with?"

"That, a friend I just met."

"Are you friends with that person?" Li Hang snorted inexplicably, "What kind of friend?"

"Well... Ordinary friends, we met not long ago, met by various coincidences, you don't know that I have a lot of fate with him haha."

"I really didn't know you had a fate with him...stay away from him." Li Hang's voice seemed to be stern and tinged with sarcasm.

"why?"

"No reason, for your own good."

"Why? He's my friend, and you have to worry about it!" Cao Liyu frowned. He was not happy that Li Hang warned him in the same tone now, and subconsciously he had already recognized Xu Zhiyuan as a friend, even if it was Li Hang. He should be prevented from interacting with friends for no reason.

Li Hang stopped, turned his head sideways to stare at Cao Liyu, the dim streetlights cast a heavy shadow on his face: "I, Li Hang, will definitely not harm you Cao Liyu!"

Cao Liyu was overwhelmed by Li Hang's high volume, and became a little more sober. Seeing the other's cloudy face, his own expression became stern: "You know Xu Zhiyuan? Are you trying to say that it's because he's gay?"

Li Hang kept his mouth shut and his face was cloudy, apparently he did not expect Cao Liyu to express his concerns so frankly.

It seems that I guessed it right, Cao Liyu also imitated Li Hang and snorted coldly, turned his head and walked forward with some anger: "I thought you would not mind these people, but the result is not as good as me. Homosexuals are also human beings. Could it be that I can’t make friends with heterosexuals? And it’s rare for me to make close friends here, so I won’t be alienated from people for no reason.”

Before he finished speaking, Li Hang followed behind him, grabbed Cao Liyu's arm, and spoke in a somewhat impatient voice: "Anyway, you should avoid dealing with him."

Cao Liyu shook him off this time in a really upset way: "I don't mind anymore, why are you being so lenient with Li Hang?"

"Because Xu Zhiyuan is not clear about Liang Dong's involvement, don't get involved."

Although it was backlit, Cao Liyu could clearly see the unusually serious expression on Li Hang's face because of the close distance.He thought of the man named Jiang Yao he met in the bar before, he was obviously less serious than Xu Zhiyuan, but he also seemed to have a prejudice against Xu Zhiyuan.Out of the mentality of protecting his friends, he felt that Li Hang, who was involved with that person, was a little unreasonable.

"I don't know what kind of relationship you and Liang Dong have with Xu Zhiyuan, but I'm just ordinary friends with him, and I don't have any interest in interfering or interfering. In addition, you have your friends, and I also choose mine. rights, you don’t have to intervene.”

After finishing speaking, Cao Liyu glanced at Li Hang's gloomy face with a straight face, and walked straight into the elevator building.

Xiao Yu felt that Cao Liyu was in a bad mood when he pushed the door open, and when he saw Li Hang who came in after a while, he knew that the two really had a quarrel this time.

This is really rare, the two have not really had a conflict for many years.Cao Liyu is optimistic and cheerful by nature, and he is very loyal to his friends, so he basically only has a knife for his friends, and rarely falls out with his friends, especially for Li Hang and Xiao Yu; Li Hang may be always on guard against outsiders A little bit, but it is also completely protective of Cao Liyu and himself. It can be said that he is a little indulgent and pampering to Cao Liyu, who is not comfortable in the room.What happened today that made these two people quarrel for the first time?

Xiao Yu understands the tempers of these two people too well. One is flammable at any point, but has an open-minded nature; although the other usually looks calm about everything, he is more paranoid about the things he cares about than ordinary people.So no matter why the two quarreled, Cao Liyu must be the most angry now, but he might let go of it after a night of sleep.On the contrary, it was Li Hang, although he would not act too aggressively, he might be brooding about it for a long time.The person who tied the bell needs to be untied.Xiao Yu decided to appease Cao Liyu in the bombing first, and then let Cao Liyu go to Li Hang for reconciliation.

At night, Xiao Yu knocked on the door of Cao Liyu's room after the three of them had finished washing and went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Because of the series of things that happened tonight, Cao Liyu felt very tired, and was already rolled up in bed and drowsy.None of the three members of the family had the habit of locking the bedroom door while sleeping, so Cao Liyu raised his neck and shouted "Come in" when he heard the knock on the door, and didn't move at all from the neck down.

After Xiao Yu entered the room, he turned on the light, closed the door again, and sat down at the end of Cao Liyu's bed, pushed the suspected part of Cao Liyu's calf under the quilt, and asked him, "Did you quarrel with Li Hang?"

Cao Liyu let out a sullen "Hmm".

"what happened?"

"He insisted on who I made friends with."

"This is really strange. Why does he insist on controlling you?"

"Because my friend is gay."

Xiao Yu's breathing was stagnant, and she felt her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"Why does he insist on controlling you? Could it be that you and that person..."

"No!" Cao Liyu lifted the quilt angrily and sat up, "We are just ordinary friends!"

"...then why..."

"It's him who is unreasonable. He has said that he is just an ordinary friend. He still insists on warning me that the person has a lot to do with Liang Dong, and I am not allowed to get involved. That person is very good, he is prejudiced! And he just doesn't believe it. I!"

When Xiao Yu heard Liang Dong's name, he knew that Cao Liyu was referring to Xu Zhiyuan.Because of his personality, Xiao Yu knew all of Li Hang's circle of friends, but most of them were not very close.He had met Xu Zhiyuan, and since he hadn't said a few words, he couldn't say he had a good or bad impression, but he had heard a lot about him.In fact, if there were no events today, Xiao Yu would probably have stood by Li Hang without hesitation, but he also believed in Cao Liyu. Hearing what he said, it is true that his own thoughts were also based on the preconceived impressions of other people's one-sided words. Therefore, it is difficult for him to draw conclusions for a while.

Seeing Cao Liyu sitting on the bed full of anger, staring at him with bright eyes, Xiao Yu couldn't help but tilt the balance in Cao Liyu's heart.Anyway, let's appease Cao Liyu first tonight.Thinking of this, Xiao Yu smiled and patted Cao Liyu's bent knee.

"Maybe Li Hang is prejudiced, but if you think about it carefully, he never interferes with our mutual friendship. Why does he insist on you this time? Isn't it out of worry? Sometimes Li Hang's speech is not tactful enough, and he always It’s just a conclusion without explanation, but we’ve been friends for so many years, you should know him, right?”

Cao Liyu was still angry. After listening to Xiao Yu's words, although he had already approved in his heart, he still suffocated his neck for a long time, staring at Xiao Yu's hand on the quilt, as if he had a mental struggle, and then nodded reluctantly.

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded in a softer tone: "Stop quarreling, and reconcile tomorrow, okay? You know that Hang is a person, and he may be terribly sad now, but he just doesn't show it. How about we It's easy for the three of you to live happily together, I don't want to see you quarreling."

Cao Liyu looked up at Xiao Yu's sincere eyes, and promised softly: "Understood, I will talk to him tomorrow. But this time, it is definitely that guy who is wrong!"

Xiao Yu laughed: "Okay, he was wrong, and Master Liyu forgave him a lot."

Cao Liyu fell back on the bed and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk like you're coaxing a child, I'm serious."

Xiao Yu smiled and wisely stopped talking.

Just when Cao Liyu felt that the end of the bed was empty and Xiao Yu got up to leave, he heard Xiao Yu ask in a very low voice: "Liyu, do you really not mind Xu Zhiyuan's homosexuality at all?"

Cao Liyu looked at Xiao Yu's expressionless side face, and replied softly: "...don't mind, he's just a little different, but he's still the same person."

"Have you ever thought that in case he likes you..."

"...I will refuse because I can't accept him. However, if he is willing, there will be no change in our friendship.

This is a typical Cao Liyu answer, simple and rude, simple and straightforward, but it makes people have to obey, even if they are rejected, no one will feel offended.

Xiao Yu turned his head and took a deep look at Cao Liyu, only to find that the other person was also looking at him. Seeing him looking over, he closed his eyes.Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then said good night, and went back to her room.
