reverse trapping

Cheng Mu looked up and followed the voice.

Like a dream, Shen Jinzhi just fell from the sky at his most helpless moment.

"is it okay?"

It wasn't until Shen Jinzhi asked again that Cheng Mu realized that he was asking for his own consent.

He nodded blankly.

The sunlight falls neatly from the window, forming several three-dimensional light blocks in the classroom.

Shen Jinzhi walked forward along the aisle, passing through the light block, but the bright light seemed to stay on him, entangled in his steps.

The focus of sight in the classroom shifts accordingly.

"Who is that?"

"Not a student."

"It seems a bit familiar."

"I'll go, it can't be Teacher Shen..."

"Ms. Shen from the business school?"

"Oh my god, it's Teacher Shen. I almost didn't recognize him without my glasses."

After Shen Jinzhi nodded to the teacher who was watching, he walked to the podium, took the camera in Cheng Muze's hand, and looked at the male student who raised the question.

"Teacher Cheng hurt his hand when he moved some time ago, and he still hasn't healed yet. I think a good photographer should not create when he is not in good condition. This is a kind of disrespect to the subject and the work itself. .”

Without the cover of the glasses, Shen Jinzhi's sharp eyes cut down, and the displeasure in his expression could be clearly seen.

Cheng Mu listened to Shen Jinzhi's nonsense in a daze, marveling at his sophistry ability.

The boy who had been barking his teeth and claws before suddenly lost his arrogance and was immediately speechless.

Shen Jinzhi continued: "Teacher Cheng also taught me some theoretical knowledge about photography when he was free, so I can take this opportunity to give practical guidance."

Hearing this, Cheng Mu finally understood the logic behind Shen Jinzhi calling himself a "half student".

Cheng Mu followed his train of thought.

Under his guidance, Shen Jinzhi successfully completed a photographic work featuring troublesome classmates.

The photos are projected on the projection cloth.

Cheng Mu glanced at his wristwatch and said, "There are still 5 minutes until the end of the course. I will use the previous photos as an example to briefly explain the shortcomings of this photo."

When Cheng Muze's portrait photography works appeared on the screen, the students who had complained before all shut up.

When the last point was analyzed, the get out of class bell rang on time.

"Then see you next time."

Cheng Mu put away the things at hand, said hello to the teacher who was watching, and left immediately.

Shen Jinzhi walked out of the classroom at some point and was waiting for him at the door.

Shen Jinzhi's eyes were dark, and when he was not speaking, he gave people a faint sense of oppression.

He looked at Shen Jinzhi, not knowing what to say.

"Let's go."

The two people's eyes met, Shen Jinzhi winked at him, and Cheng Mu followed.

The bustling crowd kept squeezing the distance between the two, and the backs of their palms touched unexpectedly, bringing a wonderful sense of touch.

Cheng Mu withdrew his hand, with countless questions in his mind but didn't know where to start.

After they left the crowd, Cheng Mu greeted them, "Is everything settled?"

"Yeah." Shen Jinzhi said, "It's a small project, and it's finished."

"Why are you in my classroom?"

"I just heard that you have started a class, and came to check and accept my teaching results."

"That's it." Cheng Mu said dully.

The topic was cut off, and the two continued to walk forward on the stone bricks on the Yonglu Road.

Years of trampling have left gaps in the stone bricks, and every step echoes time.

Those tiny voices finally helped Cheng Muze calm down, and he said in a low voice, "Just now...thank you for helping me out."

Shen Jinzhi didn't reply quickly, he took out a hand in his trouser pocket, turned his eyes and asked, "Although it's not appropriate, can I ask one more question?"

Ever since he mentioned that matter, Cheng Mu knew that Shen Jinzhi would be curious.He said in relief: "Did you see that, I don't dare to take portraits at all."

Shen Jinzhi remained silent, his brows knit together.

Cheng Mu continued: "It's not that I dare not, but that I can't."

"Why?" Shen Jinzhi asked, "You were obviously good at taking pictures before."

Cheng Mu was taken aback, how did he know before?

After a while, he realized that what Shen Jinzhi was talking about should be the photos he showed at the end of the class.

He smiled relaxedly: "Mr. Shen seems to know photography quite well, even when taking pictures. The level of the photo you took is at least better than that of more than [-]% of the students present at that time. Did you learn it systematically before? "

"It doesn't count." Shen Jinzhi breathed out, "I have liked someone for many years, and he is a photographer, so I know a lot about it."

When it comes to feelings in the chat, Cheng Mu is completely dead here.He didn't know how to answer it at all, and finally just made a meaningless "ah".

At this time, Shen Jinzhi said again: "You haven't finished yet."

"Ah?" Cheng Mu was puzzled, not understanding what Shen Jinzhi was talking about.

Shen Jinzhi added: "Why can't you take pictures?"

Realizing that Shen Jinzhi was asking this question, Cheng Mu pressed the corner of his mouth.

After walking a few more steps, he said truthfully, "Actually, I don't know. If I knew, maybe I could change the status quo."

There was no wind in the air, and the depression and gloom in the words stayed in the air, bringing a strong sense of suffocation.

Cheng Mu subconsciously touched his pocket, but found that the candy had disappeared again at some point.

"Want this?"

With that said, Shen Jinzhi handed over a candy.

The colorful candy wrappers were gorgeous, washing away the gloom in Cheng Muze's heart, and he took the candy.

"If you accept my sugar, you have to solve my dinner today."

Cheng Mu raised his eyes and paused when he peeled off the candy wrapper.

Shen Jinzhi looked down at the candy that was parked between his two fingers, and said half-jokingly: "I've already picked up the candy, but now I go back and give up the candy, I won't agree."

"No, no, no." Cheng Mu repeatedly denied, "We should treat you to dinner, and I will inform Fang Shuo to end work early."

"Wait--"

Before Shen Jinzhi finished speaking, Cheng Muze's call had already been dialed.

Fang Shuo answered very quickly, and the exchange was completed in a few short sentences.

After he hung up the phone, Shen Jinzhi said with some regret: "At first, I wanted to ask you to pay back the bowl of egg noodles that you owe me first, but now it seems that I can only postpone it."

Cheng Mu suddenly realized: "So you meant that."

He laughed embarrassedly: "It's because I owe you so many favors that I don't know which one you're talking about."

"Isn't that nice?"

Cheng Mu didn't understand what Shen Jinzhi meant by "very good", and instead said, "If you don't want to go out to eat, I'll call Fang Shuo again."

Shen Jinzhi pressed his gesture of picking up the phone, and touched it with his fingertips inadvertently.

"Next time."

Cheng Mu listed several restaurants for Shen Jinzhi to choose from, but Fang Shuo's phone call disrupted his plan.

"Mu Ze! My cousin just called me and asked me if I would like to have dinner with him tonight. He made an appointment with a membership-only restaurant, but the other party let him go. I asked him if he could bring friends. He agreed. It's only natural for my cousin to thank Teacher Shen for me, the important thing is that we don't spend any money! Is that all right?"

Cheng Mu glanced sideways at Shen Jinzhi, and replied, "I'll ask first, and I'll give you a letter later."

"can."

Shen Jinzhi's answers came one after another, and Cheng Mu knew that Shen Jinzhi heard what was on the phone.

"Is it really convenient?" Cheng Mu confirmed.

Seeing Shen Jinzhi nodding again, Cheng Mu gave Fang Shuo an affirmative answer.

After finalizing the hotel, the two drove there.

In the private room on the second floor, Wan Weiduo and Fang Shuo sat down and waited early in the morning.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Wan Weiduo got up to greet him, but he bumped into Shen Jinzhi who was supposed to miss the appointment tonight.

"Shen Jinzhi, you dog—" Wan Weiduo swallowed his dissatisfaction, "Don't you want to eat? I even called other people to come."

Shen Jinzhi didn't speak, but turned sideways.

Cheng Mu, who was still standing at the door, heard the conversation between the two, and his expression was a little dull.

He looked at the two of them: "You...know each other?"

Seeing Cheng Muze, Wan Weiduo realized that when Fang Shuo said to bring two friends, he meant the two of them.

For the same dinner, if he calls Shen Jinzhi, he can't come, but Cheng Mu can call someone else.

... In terms of how to turn a human into a dog, no one can match Shen Jin.

Cheng Mu sat down, realizing something belatedly.

It's no wonder that Professor Shen is so concerned about him and Fang Shuo entering the school to communicate and teach. It turns out that it is because of Wan Weiduo.

When all the people came, the waiter who took the order handed over the menu.

The menu was not hot yet, but Shen Jinzhi beckoned to him, obviously asking for the menu.

Wan Weiduo frowned, remembering how he helped Fang Shuo, and reluctantly handed over the menu.

"All right, all right, today you are the protagonist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinzhi spread the menu in front of Cheng Muze: "What do you want to eat?"

Wan Weiduo: "..."

In the end, Shen Jinzhi chose the dish, he couldn't tell whether he liked it or not, but Cheng Mu liked it anyway.

During the conversation, Fang Shuo mentioned that Cheng Mu accidentally called Professor Shen during a meeting.

Wan Weiduo didn't believe it at all.

"Everyone is likely to desert the meeting. It is impossible for him, Shen Jinzhi. It is standard to turn off the mute before joining the meeting. If you see it, you will not answer it. Even if the sky falls, you have to wait until the meeting is over."

Shen Jinzhi wiped the corners of his mouth unhurriedly: "It's off, it's off, but I accidentally missed one click, and it was set to vibrate, so it happened to be received."

Wan Weiduo immediately retorted: "I believe you—" and when he saw Shen Jinzhi's sharp eyes, the content of his words switched seamlessly, "Yes, that's exactly what he said."

Everyone enjoyed the dinner that day, except Wan Weiduo who was aggrieved after spending the money.

·

At noon of the next day, while Cheng Mu was preparing the PPT for the next class, Qin Yi suddenly rushed into the studio as if he was furious.

He looked around to confirm that Fang Shuo was not there, and then said to Cheng Mu: "What have you been doing lately?"

Cheng Mu didn't understand, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your plan to approach Shen Jinzhi failed? Why is he walking with Chen Jiao again?"

Cheng Muze's pencil lead broke with a "click".

He has been so busy with his lessons recently that he almost forgot about it.

Looking back carefully on this period of time, he did not contact Shen Jinzhi except yesterday.

If this continues, the previous efforts will be in vain.

Just in between his brainstorming, Qin Yi patted his desktop with one hand: "Do you think you have any shortcomings?"

"?"

Qin Yi "tsk": "Think about it, do you have any friends of the same sex around you? I don't count, we met a long time ago, and Fang Shuo doesn't count, he just worships the filter."

After Qin Yi ruled it out, it seemed that he really didn't have any other same-sex friends.

"Don't I have no friends of the opposite sex?"

"That's because you don't want to." Qin Yi asked back, "Isn't it?"

Cheng Mu was speechless.

"Here, the conclusion has been reached. You lack same-sex attraction. No wonder it's been so long and there has been no progress."

"What should I do?"

Qin Yi's eyes rolled halfway: "I have an idea, pack it up at night, and I'll take you to find a place where you can learn how to attract the same sex."

At half past nine, Cheng Mu waited until Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's mysterious appearance evokes bad memories for Cheng Muze - the last time he took himself to the noodle restaurant to follow Shen Jinzhi, he also had such an expression.

They took a taxi to the door of a bar.

Qin Yi pointed to the door of the bar and said, "Go in, I'll pick you up in an hour~"

Cheng Mu had a question mark on his face: "What do you mean, you won't go in with me?"

"I've always been gay, right?"

When Cheng Mu heard the term "GAY", the veins on Cheng Mu's forehead twitched wildly: "Am I not?"

Qin Yi frowned: "Don't turn your head, Brother Cheng, don't you think this is an excellent place to study? You can learn and practice as you like, and I will come to you in an hour. As long as you don't leave this bar, I'm sure take you out."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yi pushed Cheng Muze violently and sent him into the bar.

When Cheng Mu turned around again, Qin Yi had already rushed away.

"..."

Adhering to the idea that everyone has come, and there is nothing to look at, Cheng Mu walked to the inside of the bar.

Cheng Mu has never been to a bar, let alone gay.

He stepped uncomfortably on the ground where the lights were flowing, avoiding the eyes of the people around him.

In the front right of the field of vision, a man ordered a glass of wine at the bar, and raised his glass to the people around him.

They didn't seem to know each other, but they chatted quickly and enthusiastically.

Cheng Mu found it strange, so he leaned over.

He sat on the stool and casually pointed to the man's glass, and the bartender immediately mixed a glass for him.

Three minutes later, the two left side by side with smiles on their faces.

Cheng Mu took the drink from the bartender with a shocked expression on his face.

During this process, Cheng Mu only vaguely heard a sentence - "Can I make an appointment?"

After they left for a long time, Cheng Mu was still immersed in the shock of making friends in 3 minutes.

Is this called same-sex attraction?

Cheng Mu thought for a long time and decided to try it himself.

He looked around, and finally found a person who was quite pleasing to the eye in the crowd.

He stood up and strengthened his mental construction a dozen times before mustering up the courage to walk over.

The man turned his back, and the dim light fell on his back, drawing out tough lines.

Cheng Mu swallowed, imitating the man near the bar before.

The cup drew a graceful arc in mid-air and landed in the other party's field of vision, only the voice could not conceal the jerkyness.

"Sir, is it about...?"

The man slowly turned the chair, raised his eyelids under the rimless glasses slightly, and locked his eyes on Cheng Muze.

He paused every word: "Are you sure?"

The dim light hit the man's side face, spreading aggressively and flamboyantly, stronger than the foreign wine in his glass.

The moment he saw Shen Jinzhi, Cheng Muze's brain crashed.

…Is there anything more embarrassing than going out to learn how to attract the same sex, only to meet the “same sex” in person?

Cheng Mu was so dull that he lost his expression, his brain was not knowing where, and he ordered him to nod.

Under the circulating light and shadow, Shen Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.

He took the wine in Cheng Muze's hand, drank it all in one gulp, got up, took the other's hand, and left.
