summer rot

Just kidding.

Holding the phone in his hands, Zhou Xiangxing froze.

Since no one interrupted, the kitten on the screen began to enter an automatic loop state.The video of just a few seconds was played repeatedly, and Zhou Xiangxing once again fell into the mechanical vicious circle of "observe before deciding when something happens".

He found that the kitten was Sanhua, with a pinch of black hair on top of its head, like a thumbs up.

He found that a small gap was cut out of the kitten's ear, which was done by the pet hospital.

He found out that he knew this kitten, had fed it last week, and had seen it in a short video of the owner group 1 minute ago.

He found that the kitten had a pair of dark eyes, without any erection, as if the pupils were completely opened.

He also found that every hair of the kitten was moving, just like Li Zhi's silver-white middle-length hair.

So he thought of the meat ball that ate the corpse, and his deduction of the boyfriend's identity, and a very bad guess came to his mind - if Li Zhi was that disgusting meat ball.

If it devours a cat it becomes a cat.

How did it become human?

To be honest, the three-year relationship is not easy for Zhou Xiangxing to let go. He is used to Li Zhi's kindness to him, and subconsciously feels that he is special to Li Zhi.

In fact, it might be.

But even that fluke was quickly dashed when looking at the photos.

How did Li Zhi obtain his current appearance?

Zhou Xiangxing put down his phone and walked out of the company calmly.

The afterglow dyed half of the sky red, and the sun no longer radiated its light enthusiastically. The clouds added oil painting brushstrokes to the gradually warmer colors, and the black shadow of the telephone pole was moving with his footsteps.He walked into the nearest convenience store, and as he passed the door, a thin ding-dong "Welcome" echoed through the empty store, drawing a lazy glance from the cashier.

He didn't want to go home, and he didn't dare to go home. He wanted to buy something to eat, and then continue to sleep in the unit.

He walked back with two rice balls, lowered his head, and unknowingly found that the shadow dragged under the person's feet for a long time, and the end was like a pencil dust rubbed off by his hands, melting into the red setting sun.

Suddenly, Zhou Xiangxing stopped.

A shadow stood motionless in front of him.

As if anticipating something, he began to raise his head little by little, from the slippers, to the black slacks, to the crumpled hem, and finally saw the silver-white hair falling on the other's shoulders—under the reflection of the sky, It looks a little orange.

Although he subconsciously restrained his violent reaction after being frightened, he admitted that he was a little afraid to continue looking up.

"Do you still have to work overtime?" Li Zhi stood not far away, with his head down, his voice lost as if he had been abandoned.

"Ah."

"Xiang Xing, did I do something wrong?"

"No." As soon as Zhou Xiangxing finished speaking, he immediately realized that saying this would only delay the matter.The appearance of the completely unknown meatball flashed in his mind again, so he changed his words: "You should reflect on yourself first."

Li Zhi immediately showed a "sure enough" expression.

"Where is it?" He stepped forward and said, "I can change it right away, anything."

--Race.

Zhou Xiangxing took a step back quietly, thinking to himself, if you really could change it, would I still be so entangled.

But that cannot be said.The non-human Li Zhi was unfamiliar to him, so he was cruel and put on a gesture of settling old scores: "You don't know how to cook."

"I can learn."

"You're so scary when you're eating."

"I can learn how to eat."

"You squeeze the toothpaste from the middle."

"I'll change it now."

"You go to the bathroom without flushing the toilet."

"This is a misunderstanding..."

Counting the crimes one by one, even Zhou Xiangxing felt that it was a bit too much.Li Zhi listened very carefully, and only when he heard about eating raw meat, did he show a moment of grievance. Looking at Zhou Xiangxing, he seemed to say "you let me eat it", but he didn't say it in the end.

He is so pitiful, in front of his cruel boyfriend, he can only coax in a low voice: "I will change it...Give me a little time...OK?"

Zhou Xiangxing felt like a heinous sinner.

With such a bottomless retreat, he almost said: "It's okay, I don't really mind these things."

But before he said it, he first thought of the other party's various behaviors, and... He had thought about tolerant of the other half's differences, but he hadn't considered tolerant of the other party's race being different from his own.

After this kind of frank and sincere persuasion, Zhou Xiangxing felt that he was abandoning a puppy that might bite, or might already be biting.

Any unclear and ambiguous entanglement is a kind of harm to the puppy.

So he started to really address his confusion.

He said, "Li Zhi, do you really regard me as your lover?"

The other party's expression seemed numb, motionless, and did not answer.This made Zhou Xiangxing feel a little annoyed and angry, but soon these emotions were subconsciously restrained by himself, he didn't want to look ugly on the street.

He stretched out his hand to touch Li Zhi's chest.

But was dodged subconsciously.

"Look." Zhou Xiangxing withdrew his hand calmly, and said softly, "Every time we hug, I can only feel your hands. So I think, we still—"

Then the hand was grabbed violently.

Li Zhi held onto it very tightly. Zhou Xiangxing felt like his hands were about to be crushed under such force.But compared to the pain, what frightened him more was that he couldn't feel the bones that a human being should have in the opponent's hand.

His hands are like the cat being swallowed by the meatball.

"Don't throw me away." Li Zhi got closer and closer, almost touching the tip of the other's nose: "I can change it... I am too dirty now, just give me a year... no, one month! One month later , I can become a little cleaner."

The urgent and pleading tone made people feel that he really had to pay a huge price for this.

"We can do whatever we want then, okay?"

Zhou Xiangxing didn't say yes or no, after a long time, he shook his head.

"why?"

"Tired."

"Tired?"

So Li Zhi was stunned, and asked in a low voice again: "Are you tired of looking at this face?"

Zhou Xiangxing didn't know what to say, so he nodded indiscriminately: "Yes."

The clenched hands loosened. For some reason, he felt that Li Zhi was more relaxed, and he showed a smile after a long time.

"It's okay, Xiang Xing, I know that all human beings are like this." Li Zhi said, "'Like the new and dislike the old'? That's the word."

Zhou Xiangxing refrained from rebutting and exposing the other party's self-destructive mouth.

In such a strange atmosphere, he watched Li Zhi slowly let go and left, and turned around without any hesitation.

And when Li Zhi gradually stepped out of his field of vision, the street finally regained its original bustle.

Zhou Xiangxing let out a long sigh of relief.

He touched the tip of his nose, shook his hands, looked at the stars in the sky, and walked towards the company with a half-cold rice ball. When he arrived at the door, he belatedly thought: He can go home.
