The small sofa suddenly fell silent, only Chang Yongyi's chattering questions could be heard on the phone.

Qi Ling simply hung up the WeChat call, said something, and pressed the phone under the pillow.

"When will you take me to meet your friend formally?"

Xu Chen's laughing voice vaguely echoed in his ears, Qi Ling felt the eyes of the people next to him, and for a moment didn't know how to answer.

He lowered his head, grabbed the corner of the pillow with his hands, and his strong fingertips sank deeply into it.

Did Xu Chen want to disclose it to him?

He bit his lip, and his mind became very confused. Even though there were some well-intentioned ridicules and blessings on the Internet, he was still not ready to make it public with Xu Chen in reality.

It's a big change, and he doesn't think he's ready for it yet.

However, Xu Chen even took the initiative to mention...

Qi Ling couldn't help thinking about it seriously. Xu Chen was even misinterpreted as a girl when he played games in front of his friends without saying a word. normal.

He shouldn't have caused Xu Chen to suffer so many misunderstandings because of his own concerns.

Qi Ling tightened and loosened the hand holding the pillow, finally took a deep breath, pulled out the phone from under the pillow, and said, "If you want, I'll follow them..."

But before he finished speaking, someone rubbed his head lightly. Xu Chen said before him, "No rush."

This little hedgehog wanted to pull out the thorns on his body abruptly. He knew that it would be painful and hurt, but he still chose to take care of his emotions, as if he was afraid that the thorns he had hidden would pierce him.

Qi Ling like this really makes people feel distressed.

Xu Chen hugged him into his arms, felt his tight body, took the mobile phone from Qi Ling's hand and put it back to its original place, then gently squeezed his knuckles, and said softly: "When you are ready Now, let's make it public."

Chang Yongyi and Xie Kaiyu are Qi Ling's two most important friends, and he understands Qi Ling's concerns.

When Qi Ling was a child, he chose to confess his sexuality to his parents, but it left him with a lingering shadow, and caused people in his hometown to put on colored glasses for him. Now facing the same choice, Qi Ling's resistance and fear, he I understand.

Xu Chen didn't want to push him so hard.

Qi Ling felt the warm embrace behind him and the endless tolerance in his voice, his body slowly relaxed, he lowered his head, and held Xu Chen's hand back, "I will slowly overcome the fear in my heart, I know that those are all in the past Yes, give me time, I can come out."

He felt that his condition had improved a lot. The time was different and the place was also different. His hometown Qingshui City was too closed, and homosexuality was a different kind in their eyes, which was completely unreasonable.

But it's different now. City A is the most developed place in the country, and he is no longer the closed and timid high school student he used to be. Since everyone on the Internet can show kindness to strangers, let alone people around him.

Furthermore, as long as Xu Chen is around, he will have the confidence to do anything.

Qi Ling picked up Xu Chen's hand and rubbed it on his face with attachment, "Next time, when I find a suitable opportunity, I will tell them."

The corners of Xu Chen's lips curled up, "Well, I believe my boyfriend won't make me wait too long."

"For the sake of my boyfriend's hard work, I decided to give him a reward."

Hearing this, Qi Ling immediately sat up straight, turned to look at Xu Chen, "What reward?"

Xu Chen saw that he suddenly got excited, pinched his face, lowered his head and whispered two words in his ear with a smile,

"Dating."

The next day, the sun was shining and the cicadas were singing one after another. Through the car window, Qi Ling could feel the heat of summer.

The sun shone through on his arm, shining golden. If it was on a normal day, he would definitely withdraw his hand immediately, but this time, he didn't feel the sun at all, and even let it shine for a while in a good mood.

It's the first time he's out on a date, and everything he sees is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Xu Chen parked the car, looked at the squinting man playing with the sun, put a hat on his head, "Let's go."

Xu Chen was in front, and Qi Ling followed.

As he walked, he couldn't help but look at him secretly. Xu Chen didn't wear a shirt and trousers today. He was dressed in a casual outfit, which made him look handsome and handsome.

He especially noticed that the hat Xu Chen gave him was exactly the same as the one he wore.

Is this a couple model?

The corners of Qi Ling's mouth could not help but curl up, but in the next moment, someone pushed down the hat on his head, "Have you seen enough?"

"You can't walk well, why are you staring at me?" Xu Chen straightened his crooked collar and asked him, "Do you feel dry?"

He remembered that Qi Ling was most afraid of heat.

"No." Qi Ling shook his head, with a brisk smile on his face, "Why did you give me this reward all of a sudden?"

He really didn't expect that Xu Chen would take the initiative to propose a date with him.

Xu Chen glanced at the map, led the people around the corner, and replied, "You mentioned it when you were playing the game."

He didn't miss the expectation in Qi Ling's eyes at that time, it was just that the two of them were playing games together, Qi Ling felt that they were dating.

Also blame him for being too busy on weekdays.

Qi Ling was taken aback when he heard the words, he thought Xu Chen didn't notice his words...

He couldn't help trotting side by side with Xu Chen, tilted his head, and couldn't help asking: "So this is an official date, right? Will there be any more in the future?"

Xu Chen stopped in his tracks, listened to the nervous tone of the person next to him, and rubbed his fingertips on his hot and flushed face, "Of course, there will be many such dates in the future."

"Don't dawdle, it's hot outside."

A few minutes later, the noise and screams from the amusement park not far away suddenly became clear. Qi Ling glanced from a distance, and could vaguely see the Ferris wheel and roller coaster high above.

The visual height is more than 100 meters.

Qi Ling shrank her neck subconsciously.

Xu Chen saw that the person beside him slowed down, turned his head to look, and pinned the unpressed hair under his hat behind his ears, "Don't want to go?"

He gave people several dating options yesterday, and Qi Ling chose the amusement park without hesitation, why is he hesitating now instead.

"Of course not!" Qi Ling retorted without thinking, he didn't sleep well last night, thinking about how to plan to play all the games with Xu Chen.

He has never been to an amusement park. He used to have no conditions at home. He had sexual problems in high school, and he was busy with tutoring and studying in college, so he didn't have time to play.

This is the first time.

Although he has never been here, he has also heard about the items inside, especially those exciting ones, such as the jumping machine, roller coaster, and big pendulum. he plays.

But when he saw the speed of the roller coaster and the loud screams coming from the scene, he dispelled this thought, and his heart couldn't stop trembling.

"Xu Chen, what event do you want to play?" Qi Ling swallowed, and decided to throw the problem to Xu Chen.

Seeing that the hem was being held back again, Xu Chen chuckled, "Are you scared? Then let's change it? It's still early."

Seeing that he finished speaking, Qi Ling was really ready to take him back, and immediately dragged him back, "Ah? Who said I was scared!"

It was the place he chose last night, and it would be too embarrassing to be cowardly before entering, so he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to take Xu Chen to check the ticket to enter the park.

Then pull people straight to the roller coaster.

Xu Chen looked at the straight man standing in front of him, raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Qi Ling replied quickly, but he didn't look back at him.

If Xu Chen had noticed, he would have noticed that Qi Ling had a serious face at this moment, and he was constantly calculating the possibility of being thrown away later, coupled with the stimulation of screaming at close range, it made him tense. tight.

At this time, he couldn't help but want to complain about his sudden desire to win. Aren't other rides good?

But it has reached this point, and it is impossible to turn back. He bit the bullet and was about to line up for the roller coaster. As soon as he took a step, his hand was pulled.

"But I'm afraid." Xu Chen looked down at him indifferently, "Shall we change?"

Qi Ling's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you afraid of this?"

Moreover, why is Xu Chen so calm while talking about fear?

Xu Chen could hear the suspicion in his tone, covered his lips and coughed, and looked away to lead him away from the roller coaster line, "Well, I'm a little scared."

Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and said generously: "Then let's go and play something else."

During the whole morning, the two played everything they were interested in, and Qi Ling broke out in sweat.

The two sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, and the breeze blew by, bringing a burst of coolness, and Qi Ling felt himself alive again.

The indoor amusement facilities are indeed air-conditioned, but it is inevitable to bask in the sun on the road, and his whole body is flushed.

Even Xu Chen's forehead was dripping with sweat.

Qi Ling subconsciously took out the wet wipes he had just bought and wiped Xu Chen's face, but just as soon as he started, he felt something was wrong.

There are too many people in the amusement park, he is so strange.

But Xu Chen didn't seem to have such taboos, took the wet towel in his hand, and wiped his face and neck for him, with serious eyes, gentle and delicate movements, so that the words Qi Ling wanted to remind him were completely stuck in his mouth.

He didn't want to interrupt at all.

So, like a child brought out by an adult, he obediently let Xu Chen take care of his exposed skin.

After Xu Chen wiped Qi Ling's hands and made sure that Qi Ling was refreshed, he fanned him with his hat, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Qi Ling said not to sunbathe, but his neck and face were flushed, and he shrank subconsciously when he touched it, obviously a little painful.

If it weren't for Qi Ling's high spirits, he might have taken people to rest in the shade long ago.

The corners of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, he glanced at his wiped hands, and fanned Xu Chen, "It's not uncomfortable at all!"

The time with Xu Chen is happy every moment.

Xu Chen looked at his smiling brows and crooked eyes, but didn't let him try to be brave, "Take an hour's rest and have a meal by the way."

The restaurant where you eat is facing the track of the roller coaster, and you can hear the boom and the screams that follow from time to time.

Qi Ling's attention was completely attracted. Compared with this, their morning projects seemed boring. He poked at the rice in the bowl, but looked there without blinking, with a look of longing.

Typical and timid and want to play.

Xu Chen had a panoramic view of his expression, and put the peeled egg into his bowl, "Eat first."

Qi Ling looked away reluctantly, thinking of something, while eating eggs, he said vaguely: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look, I won't go."

Xu Chen said before that he was afraid.

But he didn't expect that after eating and resting, Xu Chen directly took him to the roller coaster line and lined up with him.

"No, Xu Chen, aren't you afraid?" Qi Ling wanted to drag him out, but the other party didn't move at all, and pulled him in too.

"I think it's a pity to come here and not have fun."

After hearing this, Qi Ling would be stupid if he didn't realize it.

Xu Chen has been accommodating him all the time, and even turned a corner to let him go down the steps.

He couldn't help but turned sideways, and quietly hooked Gou Xuchen's palm, fearing that someone would find out, so he quickly took it back.

Xu Chen noticed his small movements, thought he was afraid, thought for a moment, and said, "You can hold my hand tightly when you are playing."

Qi Ling raised his head immediately, looked carefully at the people around him, and asked in a low voice, "Can this be done?"

In fact, in the morning, many times he subconsciously wanted to hold Xu Chen's hand, but there were too many people around him, and his thoughts were snuffed out as soon as he arose.

Moreover, I don't know if it's because the two of them have more outstanding appearances, and they will attract other people's ideas wherever they go, which makes Qi Ling even more afraid to act rashly.

Hearing Qi Ling's thieves-like tone, Xu Chen also leaned over and replied in cooperation: "Yes, no one will be watching at that time."

At such a fast speed, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and no one has extra thoughts to look at other people.

Qi Ling was teased by his deliberately low voice, and couldn't help poking his waist, "Okay, you talk well!"

How come it looks like they are having an affair.

Seeing this, Xu Chen let out a muffled laugh, rubbed his hair, and said nothing.

When it was their turn, Qi Ling sat up under the instructions of the staff, and before he moved, he felt his heart beating.

It is not fear of the coming high speed and excitement, but anticipation.

Looking forward to holding hands with Xu Chen.

Qi Ling also couldn't tell what was going on in his mind. When they were at home, they not only held hands, they even sat down on more intimate matters, but at this moment, the throbbing in his heart was stronger than ever.

He looked at the hand that belonged to Xu Chen not far away. It was slender and beautiful. When he was holding him, he liked to cover the back of his hand and wrap him up, full of sense of security.

Qi Ling couldn't help but quietly moved his hand closer.

When the speed of the car is fast, he will be able to grab Xu Chen's hand immediately.

But almost as soon as he moved, the hand next to him seemed to have sensed it, raised it, squeezed it lightly on his protruding wrist, and then lowered it, interlocking fingers.

Qi Ling subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but the person next to him held it tightly and didn't let him run away.

He looked up, but met a pair of deep and gentle eyes.

"Now we can hold hands." Xu Chen said.

The sky behind Xu Chen was very blue. The breeze blew past, puffed up the corners of his clothes, and blew across his eyebrows. Qi Ling seemed to smell the familiar cold smell again. There were noisy people around, but he could only hear The sound of my own heartbeat becoming more and more clear——

bang bang.

Accompanied by the speed, faster and faster.

He thought he was really stuck.



After getting down, Qi Ling couldn't help bending over and gasping for breath, the feeling of suffocation and loss of control still didn't disappear, if Xu Chen hadn't been holding him, he might really be scared.

"Drink some water." Xu Chen twisted the water and put it in front of Qi Ling. Seeing that his face was pale and there was no trace of blood on his lips, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "Are you okay?"

After Qi Ling felt himself slowing down a bit, he straightened up and took a sip of water, "It's okay, just a little bit unresponsive."

He had been in a trance before, and didn't notice the process of acceleration. When he came back to his senses, he had already reached the highest point. The sudden feeling of falling made him completely unprepared, which led to his current embarrassment.

Obviously it was just holding hands, but he was as helpless as a person who just fell in love.

It really sucks...

He tightened his hand holding the mineral water bottle, the cold temperature in his palm made him miss Xu Chen's generous and warm touch just now.

Xu Chen took his water bottle and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Stop playing, take a rest."

"No." Qi Ling shook his head, "I'm fine, it's actually quite fun."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Xu Chen's sleeve and walked towards the jumping machine. He looked up and found that many of the couples were holding hands tightly, just like they were just now.

Some people even cuddle their girlfriends in their arms after playing, and kiss the corners of the lips of each other as if rewarding them, with a gesture of intimacy.

At this moment, he was suddenly a little jealous.

Qi Ling pursed his lips, and without hesitation, looked sideways at Xu Chen, "Just play with this?"

Xu Chen looked at his still pale face, frowned and said, "No."

Qi Ling's reaction was too big, obviously he couldn't accept these overly exciting rides, it's okay to take it easy, Qi Ling couldn't stand the continuous play like this.

But Qi Ling stubbornly stopped here and refused to leave.

"Give me a reason."

Qi Ling curled up her hands hanging by her side, and whispered, "Aren't we dating? I also want to hold hands with you like those couples."

It's not allowed under normal circumstances, so wouldn't it be fine to play this kind of game?

"Xu Chen, I'm really fine. I don't have a heart attack or anything. I just wasn't ready before. Believe me, I promise I won't have such a big reaction next time." Qi Ling looked at Xu Chen anxiously and explained road.

Xu Chen looked at Qi Ling's longing eyes and realized something, "You play all this, just want to hold hands with me?"

He thought it was Qi Ling's playfulness...

Qi Ling struggled for a while, but still nodded lightly to admit it.

He wanted to go on a date with Xu Chen like a normal couple, and he knew reality wouldn't allow it, so holding hands would be enough for him.

After hearing this, Xu Chen took a deep look at him, and suddenly asked him, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Afterwards, Qi Ling looked at the dark haunted house in front of him and the few people in line, and said doubtfully, "There don't seem to be many people here."

Xu Chen led people in, "Well, compared to other projects, this one is not very attractive. They also introduced decryption elements, and it may take a long time to touch the mechanism."

Most people are not willing to spend time in it.

But Qi Ling's eyes lit up after hearing this, "It seems to be quite fun."

It was the first time he had heard of a haunted house of this type.

After the two entered, a gloomy and cold atmosphere came over their faces. Unlike the bright sunlight outside, it was very dark inside. Only a glass path underneath was emitting a faint fluorescent light. If you look closely, there is something floating slowly underneath.

Qi Ling stomped his feet subconsciously, and then he heard a click, and a spider web-like crack was formed at the bottom, and the surrounding fog billowed, accompanied by some hoarse roars, which were very similar to the voices in the zombie movies he usually watched.

He looked down at the ground, couldn't help but stomped his feet again, and as expected, the voice next to him got louder.

Qi Ling: "..."

This is voice control?

It seems quite boring, no wonder no one came.

Seeing him stamping vigorously there, Xu Chen gave a low laugh: "Is it fun?"

He thought Qi Ling would be afraid.

But as soon as he finished asking, he felt the person next to him approach quietly, and said in a low voice, "I just feel a little cold, and besides, are these terrifying voices getting closer?"

After Qi Ling finished speaking, he grabbed the hem of his clothes with a little force.

The light in the haunted house was very dim, Xu Chen couldn't see Qi Ling's expression clearly, and he was a little unsure whether Qi Ling was just pretending or was really scared.

"Xu Chen, is there a real NPC here?" Qi Ling asked suddenly.

"should not."

As soon as the words finished, he felt Qi Ling quietly hugging his arm, "Then let's go together! It's so dark here, I always feel like I'm going to trip over while walking."

Feeling the person attached to him, Xu Chen fell silent.

Even though it was outside, the kitten only wanted to hold hands pitifully, but now, it was getting more and more courageous.

Very proficient in pushing an inch.

However, Xu Chen did not push away.

The two walked quietly inside. Qi Ling was very restless and wanted to touch everything, as if he was looking for something. For this reason, he did not know where to find a small stick.

When Qi Ling wanted to poke the upside-down mummy again, Xu Chen couldn't hold back, grabbed his hand, and squeezed his wrist punitively, "What are you doing?"

Qi Ling replied sullenly: "I just want to know how to trigger the hidden decryption..."

Seeing that this haunted house is coming to an end.

Xu Chen didn't understand what was going on in his mind, he gave a short muffled laugh and asked, "I want to decipher the secret, but don't want to hold hands anymore?"

During the whole process, Qi Ling kept concentrating on finding the switch, as if he had forgotten his original purpose.

Qi Ling just woke up like a dream, what has he been doing all this way?

He was so annoyed that he didn't want to care anymore, he hugged Xu Chen's waist directly, "Let me hug first!"

If you go out, you won't be able to hold it.

But Qi Ling was afraid that someone would come from behind, so he quickly let go.

"Why didn't you remind me earlier?" Qi Ling said quietly.

Xu Chen pinched his face, "Who told you to be playful?"

Having said that, he still held the person's hand firmly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, you can go back and walk again."

Xu Chen didn't realize it until he finished speaking, it seemed strange for him to say such words, "It's a waste of time, or..."

But before he finished speaking, Qi Ling led him out of the haunted house, and then walked back to the entrance.

The staff at the entrance looked at the two people who had gone back and forth, and were a little surprised. Didn't these two people just go in?

But before she had time to remind, the handsome young man in front couldn't wait to pull the person behind him in.

The staff only had time to say pay attention to safety, but they disappeared.

She thought to herself, it seems that this haunted house is not so unpopular?

Once inside, when the light dimmed, Qi Ling immediately grabbed Xu Chen's hand, clasped his fingers tightly, and then shook it slightly. Even if he couldn't see it, Xu Chen could still imagine the corner of Qi Ling's mouth curled up.

"So happy?"

Qi Ling nodded, and when he realized that the other party couldn't see him, he immediately said, "Of course, you don't know how much I envy those young couples outside."

He was a little nervous after speaking, feeling the hands they held, "Xu Chen, am I a little too much? I don't know how to fall in love with people, I seem to be too clingy..."

He didn't know if it was right for him to do this. Logically speaking, he should be more subtle when he was out of the house.

Why didn't you hold back?

Qi Ling gritted his teeth, trying to persuade himself to let go of Xu Chen's hand, but just as he moved, Xu Chen gripped it even tighter.

"Qi Ling, it's up to me if you don't go too far." Xu Chen's voice was steady and forceful, "I don't think you are too much, and you are not clingy. On the contrary, you can be more greedy."

"There's no need to be so careful, we're dating too."

He wanted to try to make Qi Ling less concerned about the eyes of the people around him.

Listening to the familiar voice in the dark and the tightening force in his hands, Qi Ling felt his heart beating agitated again.

"Are you more greedy?" Qi Ling turned around and looked at the blurry figure in front of him.

The dim light around and Xu Chen's indulgent tone made the thought that was firmly suppressed in his heart ready to move,

"Then, can you hold me and kiss me?"
