"Bears" are better than bananas

A Chinese and Western restaurant in H City.

Jiao Hou'er, who was sitting by the window, looked at Xiong Xiong with some embarrassment: "Big Stupid Xiong, this place seems a bit upscale. With our current financial resources, are you sure you want to eat here?"

"The consumption here is not bad, within my acceptable range." Xiong Xiong smiled, "Besides, treating my monkeys to eat delicious food, it must be a place that is a little bit on the table, right?"

"But we are still students now, and we have no financial income..." Jiao Hou'er glanced at the reviews on a certain software. The price per capita is 360, which is really hard for him to accept.

"I said monkey, you haven't 'passed the door' yet, and you are planning to save money for me?" Xiong Xiong couldn't help joking.

"Big Stupid Bear!" Jiao Hou'er stared at Xiong Xiong, blushing slightly, and said, "You...be serious, I...I'm telling you something serious Woolen cloth!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Xiong Xiong looked at Jiao Hou'er with some amusement, "I can bring you here to eat, naturally I have the financial resources to afford the consumption here, monkey. Besides, it's expensive It's also my money, why are you so distressed?"

"Of course it hurts!" Jiao Hou'er said without hesitation. "The money we both eat here is enough to eat several other relatively reasonable places."

"What a little money fan. And the monkey, from your tone, do you still want me to treat you to a few more meals?"

"I'm planning and allocating things reasonably, okay!" Jiao Hou'er said angrily while holding the steaming cup.

"Okay, okay, let's see what you want to eat." Xiong Xiong smiled and handed the menu to Jiao Hou'er.

"Big Stupid Bear, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to this kind of restaurant? It made me come here in my school uniform..." Jiao Houer took the menu and glanced around, fair and clean There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he looked at Xiong Xiong and said in a low voice.

"You can wear whatever you want, it's nothing." Xiong Xiong said disapprovingly.

"But—" Jiao Hou'er hesitated to speak.

But, this is the first time he has dinner with you in such a formal restaurant!Generally dress more formally...

"But what? Let's see what we want to eat." While speaking, Xiong Xiong stretched out his hand to signal for the waiter, and then looked down at the menu.

Jiao Hou'er opened his mouth, sighed softly, and obediently looked down at the menu.Xiong Xiong, who was sitting opposite, glanced at Jiao Hou'er from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

......

Jiao Hou'er cut off a small piece of steak in a gentle manner, picked it up with a fork and brought it to his mouth, chewing slowly.Looking at Xiong Xiong who was sitting opposite, the latter had a good appetite as usual, his movements were not as slow as his, but he ate the beef on the plate boldly, and his appetite gradually improved.

"By the way, Monkey." Xiong Xiong glanced at his watch as if remembering something, and looked up at Jiao Hou'er, "I remember there will be a resident singer singing on stage in a while, you should eat slowly."

"Huh? Resident singer? Here?" Jiao Hou'er asked in surprise.

"Well, it seems that this restaurant invited a singer to sing here for the first time. I heard that the singer is highly appreciated by the owner of this restaurant, so I made an exception and invited him to sing." Xiong Xiong explained. "That's one of the main reasons why I wanted to bring you here for dinner."

"Is that singer famous?"

Xiong Xiong shook his head and said with a smile: "No, he can still be said to be unknown now. But I believe that with his talent and hard work, in a few years, he who has been dormant and struggling will definitely become a blockbuster."

"Really?" Jiao Hou'er rested his chin on one hand, looked at the temporary platform not far away, and felt curious about the singer because of Xiong Xiong's comments. "That's something to look forward to."

He really wanted to know, who was the singer that Big Clumsy Bear brought him here just to hear him sing?

"Don't worry, I promise I won't disappoint you, monkey." Xiong Xiong raised his eyebrows and said confidently.

"Okay~" Jiao Hou'er withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiong Xiong, and showed a sweet smile, with two small dimples on his cheeks looming, so cute.

Xiong Xiong's eyes were fixed, and the hands holding the knife and fork subconsciously increased their strength and grasped it tightly.

"Big stupid bear, why are you staring at me like this all of a sudden? Is my face covered in sauce?" Jiao Hou'er, who was stared at by Xiong Xiong uncomfortablely, smiled awkwardly, picked up the napkin on the table, and lowered his head. He wiped his head gently on his face.

But I was puzzled in my heart: Strange, why is the big stupid bear staring at him without saying a word all of a sudden recently?Did he say something he shouldn't have said?

"No, I just think how can a certain monkey be so cute?" Xiong Xiong put down the knife and fork in his hand and said with a smile.

"Big stupid bear, I've said it all, how can anyone describe boys as cute?" Jiao Hou'er blushed, and glared at Xiong Xiong angrily.

"Then who stipulated that cute can't be used to describe boys, monkey?" Xiong Xiong asked back. "Besides, you're really cute."

So cute I can't stop...

"Big-stupid-bear!" Jiao Hou'er lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and glared at Xiong Xiong angrily, his ears also turned red at this moment.

"Here!" Xiong Xiong replied heartily, raising his eyebrows and looking at Jiao Hou'er, who looked even cuter.

"You - eat your meat!" Jiao Hou'er forked a piece of meat and stuffed it into Xiong Xiong's mouth without saying a word.

Xiong Xiong opened his mouth and took a bite of the meat offered by Jiao Hou'er, looking at the latter triumphantly while eating with relish.

……

Jiao Hou'er held a cup of warm milk tea in both hands, quietly watched the staff who were tuning and auditioning on the platform not far away for a while, then turned to look at the place where the chair was moved a few minutes ago. Xiong Xiong, who was sitting next to him, breathed a little and said, "Big stupid bear, you... you should be able to clearly see every move on the stage, right?"

"Hey, it's okay, but it's not clear enough for you, Monkey." As he spoke, Xiong Xiong moved his chair slightly, and sat side by side with Jiao Hou'er.

Seeing that Xiong Xiong was getting closer to him, Jiao Hou'er subconsciously grabbed the sides of the chair under him, trying to move aside.But Xiong Xiong seemed to know what Jiao Houer was thinking, and stretched out a hand to grab Jiao Houer's chair to prevent his plan from succeeding.

"Big stupid bear..." Jiao Hou'er looked at Xiong Xiong angrily.

"Monkey, we both sleep in the same bed, what's there to be shy about sitting together?" Xiong Xiong said solemnly, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's the same? There are so many people here—"

"Then you mean, I can do this casually in private?" Xiong Xiong continued to ask.

"Huh?" Jiao Hou'er was taken aback for a moment, thinking about what Xiong Xiong said just now.

What do you mean by "he can do whatever he wants in private"?What does Big Clumsy Bear mean?He...does he have any special thoughts about him?

Jiao Hou'er couldn't help thinking about that, and his heart couldn't help beating faster with excitement.

But in the next second, when he saw the smile in Xiong Xiong's eyes, the excitement in his heart gradually calmed down.A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then he adjusted his mentality and glared at Xiong Xiong with an angry and aggrieved look: "Big stupid bear, you... you bullied me again!"

Xiong Xiong smiled heartily, stretched out his hands to pinch Jiao Hou'er's white and clean cheeks, and said with a smile: "You are so easy to bully, who do you not bully, Monkey? Besides, besides you, I don't have that interest and thought in anyone else."

"Big stupid bear, you... do you know how to be ashamed? You're so embarrassed!" Hearing Xiong Xiong's sudden ambiguous and somewhat shameful confession-like words, Jiao Houer patted Touching Xiong Xiong's thigh, he said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Where's the embarrassment? I'm just telling the truth." Xiong Xiong pinched Jiao Hou'er's cheek again, looking at the latter with more gentle eyes, and a deeper smile on his face. "After all, no one else is as cute as you, Monkey. So cute that you can't help but want to bully him."

"Big stupid bear, you—" Jiao Hou'er looked up at Xiong Xiong, and was about to ask him why he said such ambiguous words so abnormally tonight, when the singing on the platform suddenly sounded, He interrupted what he was going to say next.

Because the unknown singer standing in the center of the platform was his favorite singer in his previous life.But even though it was his favorite singer, he gradually fell in love with it after he became famous, instead of falling in love with him from obscurity like other people.

So in his previous life, he actually had some regrets.

"Big stupid bear, he, he is—" Looking at the immature singer both in appearance and singer, Jiao Hou'er became a little excited.

Xiong Xiong smiled and said nothing, but took out two promotional ticket slips from his coat pocket, and handed them to Jiao Houer on the table, "I'll make up for your birthday present, monkey."

"Big stupid bear, you..." Jiao Hou'er picked up the ticket on the table, glanced at it, and then fixed his eyes on Xiong Xiong's face, and asked with some emotion, "How do you know my birthday? I Do you remember that I didn't tell you when my birthday is?"

"During the Chinese New Year, didn't I just tell you that I knew your birthday a long time ago? But these things are not the point. The most important thing now is to enjoy the singing of your favorite singer." Xiong Xiong reached out and rubbed Jiao Houer's head turned to face the singer who was singing in the middle of the platform.

Jiao Hou'er was slightly puzzled, but before he had time to think carefully, his attention was attracted by the singing on the stage.

……

After listening for a full two hours, Jiao Houer, still feeling unsatisfied, followed Xiong Xiong out of the restaurant and walked on the sidewalk beside the river.

"How, are you having a good time tonight, Monkey?" Xiong Xiong asked with a smile as he glanced at Jiao Hou'er huddled in his scarf.

"Yeah!" Jiao Hou'er nodded heavily, "His singing voice has always been very captivating. The innate voice, coupled with his affectionate singing, makes people immersed in the music he created with his voice. In the world, lingering and forgetting to return."

"His empathy is really strong." Xiong Xiong nodded in agreement. "After listening to his scene, now I finally understand why you like him so much, Monkey."

"Yes, yes, his live performance is really good! It's a pity that I couldn't get his concert tickets at that time. Thanks to you this time, I finally got my wish." Jiao Hou'er grabbed Xiong Xiong's hand hands, said excitedly. "Thank you so much for tonight, big stupid bear!"

"Just as long as you're happy." Xiong Xiong reached out and rubbed Jiao Hou'er's head again, his eyes full of doting.

"But having said that, big stupid bear, how do you know that he is my favorite singer?" Jiao Hou'er looked at Xiong Xiong puzzled, and asked the doubt in his heart. "I don't think I mentioned this to you."

"Then what do you think?" Xiong Xiong asked back with a smile, with a hint of expectation on his face.

Jiao Hou'er frowned and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Xiong Xiong: "Could it be that I told you some time, and then I forgot myself?"

Hearing this, the look of anticipation on Xiong Xiong's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a little disappointment and more helplessness, he squeezed Jiao Hou'er's cheek a little harder, lowered his head and stared at the latter angrily:

"Monkey, in terms of feelings, no matter what time you are, you are still as slow as ever!"
