Are you straight guys like this?

At this moment.

At the food court on the fifth floor, An Yu took out her mobile phone and looked at the message that Ye Li just sent with raised eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun and Brother Yu Ting hugged each other's shoulders, and each of them was holding a popsicle.

"Ran Ran and Shen Shi are coming over." An Yu replied.

"Come here?" Jiang Yun didn't respond: "Where are you coming?"

Yu Ting gave him a white look: "Come find us, where else can we go?"

It's lunchtime right now, and there are many chain stores in the food court. The aroma of shrimp pots and home-cooked dishes is tangy, and many young couples have already started eating, chatting with each other affectionately.

An Yu just went downstairs to browse the store on the first floor, planning to buy new pajamas. Jiang Yun and Yu Ting were playing video games on the sixth floor. They happened to meet and planned to have lunch together.

Now that Ye Li and Shen Shi are coming, An Yu doesn't intend to listen to their advice and go to the buffet, after thinking about it, he said: "Let's eat hot pot."

"Okay, I know there is a very famous hot pot here, and the soup base and ingredients are all fresh." Yu Ting took out his mobile phone and began to search for the address. They came just in time to eat."

"Okay..." An Yu was about to follow, when she glanced inadvertently and saw a familiar figure.

"Ok?"

He stopped, and from a distance, in the crowded crowd in the food court on the fifth floor, two equally tall and slender figures came from the crowd. Many people in the crowd were looking at them, but no one stepped forward rashly.

"There's no need to go to the hotpot restaurant," An Yu said with a smile in his voice, "They're here."

After the words fell, Ye Li also saw him.

"Ayu!"

He trotted over and took off his mask. There was sweat on his sultry cheeks, which made his already fair cheeks even whiter. His hair was black, his lips were red and soft, and there was light moisture at the end of his eyes.

A face that obviously just went through a love/event.

Jiang Yun and Yu Ting naturally couldn't see anything, and when they had already met Shen naturally, only An Yu clicked his tongue twice, and lowered his voice with a smile: "Baby, why are you wearing a mask?"

Ye Li blinked, there was no need to cover up in front of him: "I just did a very powerful thing."

"What's the matter?" An Yu became interested, Ye Li's eyes were bright, and he didn't say anything, but his demeanor was very relaxed: "I'll tell you when I go back tonight."

An Yu understood, and was not hesitant to praise: "...Okay, I really have you, it's awesome!"

Compared with the harmonious atmosphere on their side, Yu Ting and Jiang Yun next door are a little baffling.

"What's the matter?" Yu Ting remained silent, letting Jiang Yun, the great injustice, ask.

Shen Shi walked over slowly, raised his eyelids and looked at them, his facial features under the bright light were as handsome and dull as ever, his eyes were dark, but this one was mixed with some melancholy.

Yu Ting understands why so many people avoid him now, no one is afraid of this appearance.

Of course, Jiang Yun is not afraid.

"What's wrong, brother," Jiang Yun ate the last bite of the popsicle, and leaned over, "Did you quarrel with Ye Li?"

"Hey," he gloated recklessly, "My girlfriend and I often quarrel too, it's okay, just buy her a bag... Oh, Ye Li is different, I see his appearance... Well, you give him Buy a book bag."

"..." Shen Shi glanced at him, a little impatiently: "Why are you still here?"

Jiang Yun: "?"

Shen Shi: "Haven't you returned to Haicheng?"

Jiang Yun: "???"

ha?Didn't you kidnap Lao Tzu?

Yu Ting on the side laughed and urged them, "Okay, let's go to the hotpot restaurant."

Shen Shi hummed, raised his head, not far away, Ye Li and An Yu were shoulder to shoulder, Ye Li had a smile on his mouth, and quietly listened to An Yu's non-stop talking. Although the two were close, they could It can be seen that it is the intimacy between friends.

The hot pot restaurant is really famous.

After a few people arrived, they waited for almost 5 minutes before they got their seats.

The decoration style of the store is Sichuan-Chongqing style, with red lanterns embedded on the walls, the lights are bright but not dazzling, each table is a small semi-open box, and the bamboo curtains are half-draped to cover the faces of the guests in the box.

At this point, Ye Li obediently sat down with Shen Shi, the seat was large and not crowded, An Yu sat opposite him, and next to him were Yu Ting and Jiang Yun.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the store is turned on very high.

The waiter brought a bottle of iced sour plum soup.

Ye Li took off his coat, Shen Shi had already poured him a cup of sour plum soup, the cold mist permeated the outer layer of the glass, Ye Li drank half of the cup in one go, narrowed his eyes comfortably, feeling the temperature on his face dropped Not a lot.

"Do you want more?" Shen Shi asked him.

Ye Li shook his head: "No more."

On the opposite side, Jiang Yun and Yu Ting were discussing what to order. When they asked for the bottom of the pot, they chose red oil and tomato, with mushroom soup, which met the different tastes of several people.

Ye Li, An Yu, and Shen Shi didn't like spicy food. Yu Ting and Jiang Yun didn't like spicy food. After ordering, Yu Ting asked, "Where did you go?"

Ye Li took another sip of sour plum soup, "Let's go to the movies."

Jiang Yun was curious: "What movie?"

Ye Li said: ""Injustice is Not Injustice"."

"Ah?" Yu Ting almost laughed out loud, "No, you two are going to watch a crime movie for Christmas?"

"That's right, who chose the movie? Didn't it mean that my goddess Youlan's new movie "Love of Youth" is released? You two don't go to love movies to watch crime movies hahahaha." Jiang Yun said.

Ye Li was embarrassed for a moment, then whispered, "I chose."

No way, "Injustice is Not Injustice" sounds really funny!

Shen Shi slowly raised his head, looking at the two people who were chattering silly, playing with the porcelain cup with their pale and strong fingertips.

On the other end, An Yu said unhurriedly, "What, is there a problem?"

Jiang Yun & Yu Ting: "..."

Jiang Yun & Yu Ting: "..."

Damn, I forgot that Ye Li is a related household!

The laughter of the two stopped, and they lowered their heads to drink water silently, knowing that they must not mess with these two narrow-minded homosexuals: "No problem, no problem, I will go to see it tomorrow."

The bottom of the pot came up, and several waiters carried wooden trays.

Hairy tripe, duck blood, shrimp paste, beef and mutton slices are all freshly cut and served. When the bottom of the pot boils, several people start to eat and chat.

There was light snow blowing outside the window.

The hot pot restaurant is noisy and steamy.

The festive atmosphere of Christmas infected everyone to the greatest extent. An Yu took a sip of cold beer and secretly poured some for Ye Li. Ye Li looked at him with a smile, and he raised his eyebrows: "Baby, trust me, Take a sip and taste it, it's absolutely refreshing!"

Ye Li was often taken by him to drink, but his capacity for alcohol was still very poor.

He took a sip of beer and didn't move any more. Shen Shi at the side took his glass, drank the rest of the wine, and poured him another glass of sour plum soup.

"Tsk."

An Yu rolled his eyes, the reason why he kept getting Ye Li to drink was because he wanted to exercise Ye Li's drinking capacity.

After so many years, the results have been minimal, but with Shen Shi in the future, he no longer has to worry about whether Ye Li will get drunk and sleep on the side of the road.

This Christmas, the hot pot restaurant will give each table a watermelon fruit plate.

The waiter lifted up the bamboo curtain lightly, and put the fruit plate in front of them. Ye Li was getting a bit tired of eating. Just as he picked up a piece of watermelon, he heard an uncertain voice: "Ye Li?"

He turned his head, and the bamboo curtain was quickly lifted. A boy with tattoos and earrings looked at him with unclear meaning in his eyes, "It's really you?"

The boy looked at everyone on the table self-consciously, and then focused his attention on An Yu who was opposite Ye Li.

"Are you out on a date with An Yu?" he asked.

……

In an eerie dead silence.

Yu Ting: "Puff cough cough——"

Jiang Yun: "Puff cough cough——"

An Yu: "Puff cough cough——"

Yu Ting: "?"

Jiang Yun: "???"

Fuck you spray too?

No, you and Ye Li actually had an affair! ! !

An Yu was so stupid that he almost sprayed beer on Ye Li's face, but luckily he turned his head in time.

He looked over in disbelief, and it took him a long time to confirm who was standing outside the bamboo curtain: "...Zhang Zichu?"

...Made!

He cried out bad luck in his heart.

It's fine that Zhang Zichu showed up the day he just returned to China, but now why the hell did he meet them in a restaurant.

Is Beijing so small?

Hurry up and expand!

"Ah, it's me," Zhang Zichu replied, hugging his chest, and under the silent gaze of a table, he asked An Yu, "What's going on, aren't you two dating, are you breaking up?"

Otherwise why not sit together?

Ye Li: "..."

Ye Li: "Puff cough cough——"

Ye Li couldn't hold back after all, a mouthful of watermelon felt like a stick in his throat.

Only then did Zhang Zichu's eyes fall on him. Before that, his attention had been deliberately not on Ye Li. Only now did he realize that the boy sitting next to Ye Li was too outstanding, with a handsome face and a cold demeanor. Look at the boy next to An Yu, he is refined and scholarly.

In the end, his eyes fell on Jiang Yun's face, which was out of state.

After a few seconds, he realized.

"The two of them..." He pointed at Shen Shi and Yu Ting, and amidst An Yu's ghostly expression, he sneered, "It must be your new love."

"This," he pointed to the terrified Jiang Yun, and paused: "It should be a straight man."

After finishing speaking, he took another look at Ye Li who hadn't recovered, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and thought disdainfully in his heart.

——For so many years, Ye Li's method has not changed at all.

……

……

After Zhang Zichu finished speaking, he suddenly snorted and left quickly.

Several people on the table left staring at each other in bewilderment.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yun was the first to react, and clenched his fists in grief and indignation: "Made...Made! What do you mean it should be straight? Can't he see that I am full of righteousness? Is he blind?!"

Yu Ting put down the teacup with shaking hands, in a trance: "What... what is Xinhuan, I am an upright straight man... He, he dares to slander me like this..."

An Yu got up even more angrily, as if she wanted to chase her out and ask for clarification: "Fuck, what does this idiot Zhang Zichu... mean? Can I find a new love like this? What does he mean, humiliate me???"

Yu Ting swallowed with difficulty, "You..."

Jiang Yun gave him comfort, gritted his teeth and glared at An Yu, comforting him: "It's okay, you know, he has always looked down on us."

Yu Ting: "Puff cough——"

Damn it, shut up too!

Everyone on the table was incompetent and furious, bang bang bang watermelons.

Ye Li was the only one who didn't dare to move. Amidst An Yu and the others' angry scolding, she tremblingly glanced at Shen Shi beside her from the corner of her eye.

He swallowed, and found that Shen Shi's already gloomy eyebrows and eyes became more and more deep at this moment.

Shen Shi seemed to be aware of it, and raised his eyes indifferently, looking at him, there was no extra emotion in his eyes.

"Dah" sound.

Several people were silent for a moment.

Including Ye Li whose eyelids twitched.

The porcelain cup was placed on the table by a wide and slender hand. The owner of the hand asked calmly, "What do you mean by 'dating'?"

10 minute later.

After An Yu finished explaining dryly, the waiter at the hot pot restaurant saw several people listening intently, and thoughtfully brought five barrels of popcorn. Jiang Yun ate while listening, and finally couldn't hold back, and complained: "Is Zhang Zichu sick? ?”

"I think so too," An Yu sneered: "This kind of person is paranoid and distorted, and thinks that everyone in the world has to like him. We were young at that time, and we couldn't get annoyed when we encountered something, but apart from pretending to be a couple with me There is really no other way to run away from him."

"Is it effective?" Yu Ting asked the core of the question.

"Yes," An Yu said, "We pretended to be a couple very well. After all, many people knew that we grew up together and were together every day. When they heard the rumor, they immediately believed it. Zhang Zichu didn't either. Come pester Ranran again."

"The teacher doesn't care if you make such a big fuss?" Jiang Yun asked.

An Yu looked at him like an idiot: "Our school is famous for its openness and tolerance, with an annual undergraduate rate of 90.00%. Someone once confessed to his crush on the radio station, and the final punishment was to write a [-]-word self-criticism. "

"It won't be messed up?" Yu Ting couldn't understand: "Our high school is very strict, let alone puppy love... the dean will remind men and women of intimate contact."

"Not at all. Our school selects students very strictly. Every student who comes to study has his own goals. You may sound surprised, but in fact, there are still very few people who really fall in love."

During their discussion, Ye Li moved his hand on the sofa. He nervously glanced at the people across from him, and seeing that they really didn't pay attention to him, he hooked Shen Shi's fingertips.

Shen Shi raised his lowered eyelids slightly, and glanced at him lightly.

"Are you angry?" Ye Li asked anxiously.

Shen Shi didn't answer but instead asked, "The last one?"

Ye Li remembered asking him 'other than the conductor and little brother' when he was in the cinema, and he felt embarrassed, "... this is definitely the last one."

"Really?" Shen Shi lowered his eyes and hooked his fingertips instead, his tone was casual but his eyes were deep: "Baby, is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Ye then went numb, knowing that he was talking about himself and An Yu pretending to be a couple.

"...No more," he shook his heavy hand, thinking of the scene at the emergency exit just now, and softly showed weakness: "I really had no choice at that time."

"That Zhang Zichu—" Zhang Zichu is one of the few people Ye Li remembers, he frowned in boredom, and skipped him: "Ah Yu is also very annoying to him."

Shen Shi was very sensitive: "What happened to him?"

Ye Li pursed her lips, and said honestly: "He always said some inexplicable things to me, and followed me home."

This was what pissed him off the most.

At that time, I was not very old, so I didn't think it was scary to be followed home. After all, the guards would register, and there were surveillance everywhere in the villa area, but now that I think about it, this Zhang Zichu...is really a bit distorted.

And those inexplicable words.

Just thinking about it, Ye Li started to have a headache.

Shen Shi's expression was unpredictable, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Baby, have you noticed—"

Ye Li: "?"

"Your suitors are very problematic."

Ye Li: "...?"

Ye Li opened his eyes slightly, and retorted softly: "You also have many suitors!"

When the school just started, he ran into the confession scene many times. Before Ye Li could react, Shen Shi said calmly, "Well, did they pester me afterwards?"

Ye Li moved her lips: "..."

Damn, really not.

He finally understood the meaning of Shen Shi's words.

The painting style of Shen Shi's suitor is——

"I like you."

"Oh, sorry."

"OK, bye."

The style of his suitor is——

"I like you."

"Oh, sorry."

"Ah? No!"

Even after Shen Shi became gay, those little gays who dared to block the way to confess to him didn't dare to pester him anymore, and often posted on the forum to vent their anger after being rejected.

Those who really dare to pester Shen Shi... Not at all.

Ye Li's momentum suddenly weakened.

Are people's auras really different?

Is he too talkative?

Shen Shi opened his mouth again at this moment, as if he realized that Ye Li was reflecting on himself, he bent down slightly, looked at Ye Li, there was a faint smile in those black eyes, and asked him: " Angry?"

"No," Ye Li was very confused: "...but why?"

He raised his head, his fair cheeks were flushed from the heat of the hot pot, his eyes were moist and soft, and the slender eye ends were slightly curved, as if he had a gentle and talkative personality no matter what the situation was.

Shen Shi has seen the scene of Ye Li rejecting others.

His tone became warmer, his cheeks were flushed, and he said "I'm sorry" very sorry, his watery eyes were as clear as glass, as if he could put anyone in his eyes.

...as if it could be obtained by anyone.

He withdrew his gaze, something flashed in the depths of his black eyes, and in the end he just pinched Ye Li's fingertips and said, "Don't think about it."

Ye Li: "Huh? But..."

"You already have a partner now," Shen Shi said in a calm tone, "I also want to see who dares to poach my corner."

Ye Li closed her mouth, her ears were a little red, and she hummed obediently.

On the other end, An Yu poured a cup of sour plum soup and handed it over. Ye Li caught it, and the falling light and shadow outlined his dark eyes and slender eyelashes. With a smile on his lips, he spoke softly to An Yu.

... No wonder he could so easily agree to pretend to be a couple.

Shen Shi looked at him and twirled his fingertips.

It was not the first time.

A meal is about to be finished.

Ye Li went to the toilet.

The toilet in the hot pot restaurant is very large and smells fragrant.

Ye Li washed his face at the sink, wiped himself clean with a tissue, and felt much more comfortable.

He walked into the toilet, saw a figure inadvertently, his eyelids twitched, and he was about to leave without even thinking about it.

"Ye Li?"

However, he was still a step too late. The boy who had just come out of the cubicle raised his eyebrows and looked at him. A small part of the tattoo was exposed from his right neck. The tattoo was a totem. He also wore a silver earring on his right ear, shining brightly.

Zhang Zichu hugged his chest, snorted softly, his eyes slid from Ye Li's soft eyes to his tightly pressed lips, his gaze was fixed, he stared at the shallow wound on Ye Li's lower lip, his breathing quickened, "You—"

Ye Li was at a loss: "?"

Zhang Zichu strode up to him, suppressed his emotions, and said tensely, "You are really...really..."

Ye Li took a step back cautiously, wanting to run, but he could feel the anger and hatred in Zhang Zichu's sight.

He forced himself to stop and speak clearly with him.

However, Zhang Zichu said "really, really" for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "——What a playful heart!"

Ye Li: "..."

Ye Li: "Huh?"

started again.

Zhang Zichu's Zhang Yan Zhang Yu started again.

He looked puzzled and avoided him: "Why am I bothering?"

Like a victim who has been hurt, Zhang Zichu sneered frequently: "You know it in your heart!"

Ye Li's head grew dizzy: "Speak clearly."

Zhang Zichu was completely irritated by him, and took two steps forward: "What are you talking about! You clearly liked me in high school, but you were able to be with An Yu in the end, and now you obviously don't like the new lover next to you, but you can make him be with An Yu Meet, you are really...!"

"Wait," Ye Li got a little angry while avoiding him, "When did I ever like you?"

Isn't this nonsense.

Zhang Zichu: "Yes, you don't like me."

Ye Li just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say: "You have a crush on me, right?"

Ye Li: "..."

Ye Li: "..."

Ye Li was stunned: "What did you say?"

"Don't deny it," Zhang Zichu said bitterly, "If you didn't have a crush on me, why did you blush every time you saw me in high school!"

Outside the door, Shen Shi, who was leaning against the wall, raised his eyelids unhurriedly, and continued to listen calmly.

Ye Li: "?"

Ye Li: "I'm hot."

Zhang Zichu: "Heh, you always look at me so hesitant to speak!"

Ye Li: "..."

Ye Li: "I'm nearsighted."

Zhang Zichu: "Nonsense, you always look at me in class!"

Ye Li: "... hey."

Wouldn't it be okay to desert and look out the window?

He said weakly: "I squinted... In short, I really didn't look at you."

Zhang Zichu's chest heaved greatly, and he gritted his teeth: "You don't have to quibble, I know those are all things in our past, and you should not admit it. Don't worry, I won't say these things in front of your new lover. That's fine. I am leaving."

He walked out with a sullen face, but Ye Li blocked him when he passed by.

He paused suddenly, frowned and stared at him, "What are you doing!"

Ye Li's tone was soft and slow: "I just want to speak clearly with you."

"Hey," Zhang Zichu pulled his lips, "There's nothing else to say, you won't admit it anyway."

Under his sarcastic gaze, Ye Li spoke clearly, "Zhang Zichu, I never really liked you, let alone have a crush on you."

"I have a boyfriend now," Ye Li said, "I like him very much. When I see him, I blush and hesitate to talk to him. If I have a crush on him, I will only fall in love with him secretly. Do you understand?"

The boy in front of him seemed to have stiffened into a slate.

Outside the door, a figure stood up straight casually, the dark light outside the bathroom flashed across his tall and straight body, his lips covered by the light and shadow evoked some vague smiles, he turned and left first.

In the bathroom, after waiting for a long time for a response, Ye Li tilted his head, "Hello..."

He paused, saw the obvious tear stains on Zhang Zichu's face, and backed away in panic.

"You...are you crying?"
