"Why do you know so much about perfume?" Jiang Die changed the topic, and turned his eyes slightly.

Because his mother is of mixed race, even though Jiang Die's foreign blood is already very light, his pupil color is still very light among ordinary people.It looks especially bright in the sun.

Xi Chi couldn't help but pause for a moment when he saw it, but fortunately Jiang Die didn't look at him.He continued his smile, and explained in a crisp, juvenile voice: "Because my family is in the perfume business, and I grew up abroad when I was very young. I saw big and big ships coming at the pier I kept going back and forth, and I always envied those who were on big ships. Later, I also took the boat back to China, only to realize that the cabin where the smell of the sea and the molecules of perfume are mixed is really hell..."

Xichi took Jiang Die's arm and walked towards the main entrance of the library, saying in a whisper.

Jiang Die's heart trembled when he heard the boy's voice mixed with coquetry.But in order to still maintain a gentleman's style, he simply straightened his tie, and his dignity was engraved in his bones.

If Xichi turned his face at this time, he could see that Jiang Die's fingertips pulling the tie were pressed so hard that they turned pale.

"If you kiss him impulsively in public like this, no matter what kind of words will be spread, it's still not appropriate." Jiang Die's rationality braked like an old-fashioned old man at the last moment, suppressing The impulse towards Xichi clamored in my heart.

"It's my first date in the library. It seems that I'm right to choose formal clothes."

The location is determined by Xichi.Jiang Die couldn't understand at first, but Xi Chi didn't explain, but begged a few times softly.Jiang Die has always been soft-hearted when it comes to such things, so he agreed.

As soon as I entered the first floor of the library, it was very abnormal. There was a crowd of people in the hall.There were even some noisy noises, which disturbed the quietness and chaos in the library as if it had already formed, and Jiang Die couldn't help frowning.

"What are you doing over there?" Xichi asked in a low voice, tugging at the corner of Jiang Die's clothes.

Jiang Die was half a head taller than him, so he tiptoed and glanced ahead.A platform was set up in the center of the first floor of the library, and a sign indicating the event stood beside the platform. He read it word by word.

"The opening ceremony of the reading activity in the library of city h, the guest of honor is Liu, the director of the library of city h... Hey, shall we go and have a look?"

Jiang Die turned his head and realized that the people beside him had already walked away. When he got to the escalator, he stepped on the elevator with one foot.

He hastened to follow, and nodded his shoulder, "Xichi, don't you want to take a look, isn't it more interesting than just sitting there and reading a book?"

"I don't want to." Xichi refused extremely decisively, with a decisive look that Jiang Die had never seen, and his face didn't look very good.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Die looked at him seriously.

Xi Chi also realized that he had lost his composure, so he smiled indifferently,

"It's nothing, I don't like to join in the fun."

Jiang Die raised his eyebrows, not believing his lame reason.In their chat before, according to Xichi himself, an eight-year-old who watched neighbors and couples quarreling with a bowl, and could spend an entire afternoon watching it, said that he didn't like to join in the fun, which was really hard to convince.

But Jiang Die just smiled casually and didn't expose him.

When he arrived at the reading area, Xi Chi really picked out a book, sat down in a secluded place by the window, and read it seriously.

Jiang Die originally thought that "not wanting to join in the fun" was just an excuse for him to do something else, and he was looking forward to it.In the end, Xichi didn't lie at all, he came to the library to read books, Jiang Dieqi gritted his teeth with a smile.

Jiang Die paced to the side cabinet, stroking the spines of several books with his fingertips.Finally, he glanced at what book Xichi had picked out, found a book of the same type, took it out, and sat down next to him.

Jiang Die propped his cheek with one hand, looking through the pages seemingly bored.When he was in school, he wasn't very serious. He was almost like a rich second generation who lived on his father's wealth and waited to die. Except that he didn't spend time and drink everywhere, he was almost the same.

I remember at that time, there were a few classmates around him who were not so well-off, and he was the child whose parents said that he would have a future if he didn't study hard.

Later these rumors spread to his ears, although he just laughed it off at that time, he still silently took it to heart.

It's just that he probably really doesn't have much talent. Even though he worked hard for a period of time because of those words, in the end he just took an ordinary undergraduate exam and got an undergraduate diploma.

Not to mention that it has been so many years since he graduated, it will be even harder for him to read books.

After a while, Jiang Die sighed helplessly and closed the book.Once again, I deeply feel that I am really not a material for studying. Fortunately, he was born in a family where he can be rich for a lifetime without doing anything in his life.

Jiang Die glanced around, and finally stopped on Xi Chi.

Next to Xichi is the window.The sunlight from outside the window shone in and evenly coated his body, making his already bloodless skin white and almost transparent.

He was concentrating on reading the book.Under the shadow spread by the sun, the slender and yellowed eyelashes are like golden cicada wings, closing and stretching out with breathing.

The slender fingers are slightly bent, and there is a unique flexibility and youthfulness here, gently holding a thin page.

Perhaps it was because there was still a bit of scorching heat in the air at this time, or because Xichi was young and was more afraid of heat, so he took off his vest at some point and put it on his knees.

The snow-white shirt was slightly blown by the wind, and the buttons on the neckline were also buttoned. Combined with the maturity on his body that didn't match his age, he showed a kind of seduction that was as vague as when we first met.

Jiang Die's heart moved slightly, and he put the book he had taken back on the shelf.Pursing the corners of his mouth, he held his breath and leaned over.

There are only a few centimeters between the tip of his nose and Xichi's cheek, and the fragrance of jasmine is enough to confuse his mind.

Jiang Die paused with his fingers on the ground, and he didn't dare to go any further.

Xi Chi seemed to be amused, but also seemed to think that why he gave him a sideways glance with such skill, did not distance himself, and ignored him.As if he didn't know anything, he still looked down at his book.

Jiang Die's Adam's apple rolled, and he seemed a little dissatisfied with Xichi's indifferent attitude, and lightly touched his face half as a prank and half angrily.

Just like Xichi is a piece of porcelain that is about to break if you bump it, Jiang Die didn't dare to use force at all.The moment he kissed, he deliberately withdrew his strength, because the center of gravity deviated a little, and he swayed slightly, but it brushed against Xichi's face like the wind blowing outside the window.

Xichi froze for a moment, then glanced around from the corner of his eye, but luckily there was no one there.There was also no face that was so familiar to him that he wanted to vomit conditionedly when he saw it.

So he turned his face away, raised his clenched fist at the man who seemed to be full of complacency, and lowered his voice.

"This is the library."

"There's no one here."

"That's not OK!"

"Oh, then I should pay more attention next time?"

Jiang Die expressed it in a silent and joking manner with exaggerated mouth shapes.Can feel it very clearly, Xichi didn't resist, at most he was a little shy.

Originally, he was doing that kind of work, so he should be able to handle this situation with ease, and the most unlikely emotion was shyness.

But Jiang Die can understand, after all, he is the same.When I clock in at work on weekdays, I don't care about my family's reputation, so I always have to put on a proper look.

In fact, what he really looks like is quite different from what he appears on the outside.

This may not be the case in Xichi.

Thinking of this, his mood immediately improved, and he turned sideways, propped his face with one hand, and tried hard to cover the corners of his mouth that could not be restrained.
