prudence

That night, Lou Guo ignored Lin Zhimao's objection and forcibly carried the pillow to Lin Zhimao's room.

Lin Zhimao's face was full of disgust, and even the emoji on his head was sweating: "It's not necessary!"

Lou Guo pushed aside Lin Zhimao's pillow that was originally placed in the middle of the bed: "It's necessary, we can't let Mao Mao cry alone in the middle of the night."

"Get lost!" Lin Zhimao became furious, "I'm not a child!"

Lou Guo thought to himself, you obviously are.Of course, this cannot be said in front of the self-proclaimed mature Lin Zhimao.

He blinked at Lin Zhimao: "In my brother's heart, you will always be a little baby."

Lin Zhimao's face twitched suddenly.

Lou Guo deliberately teased him, and was very satisfied with this reaction, put the pillow away and went back to carry the quilt.When he came to Lin Zhimao's room again, the child who was so disgusted had already put his quilt away on his own initiative.

"So good, actually you want to sleep with me too?" Lou Guo asked.

Lin Zhimao glanced at him, and the emoji on his head squinted awkwardly: "I can't drive you away, so why not save yourself some effort."

After he finished speaking, he got into bed, turned his back to Lou Guo and said, "Good night, please turn off the lights."

Lou Guo also lay down, and said with a smile, "Whether you like it or not, I want to sleep with Mao Mao anyway."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and turned off the light, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Lin Zhimao moved: "You're so disgusting, I'm going to throw up. Is that how you talk to your boyfriend in private?"

"W-what boyfriend?" Lou Guo, who was still stunned just now, suddenly went numb.

"Brother Jian," Lin Zhimao said, "you won't insist on denying it now, will you?"

Lou Guo is depressed, this is not a question of whether he is willing to admit it or not.

But the details are difficult to explain and inconvenient to explain.

Their current relationship is too weird, even a little distorted, saying that they are disgusted with bringing bad children.

Lou Guo realized later that he might be doing something very bold and unrestrained.

He has been single for more than 20 years, and has never been in a serious relationship. He unexpectedly fell into such an ambiguous relationship, and secretly looked forward to an escalation of intimacy.

He asked himself in his heart, do I have a weak sense of morality in this regard?I was not like this before I met Jian Lingsa!

Lou Guo was busy questioning himself, and Lin Zhimao, who was sleeping next to him, asked again: "Is he stunned by your words?"

"What do you mean coaxing?" Lou Guo blushed in the darkness, "I always tell the truth, and now I am really worried about you."

Lin Zhimao let out a soft "呿".

"Why," Lou Guo turned sideways and asked, "Are you envious when you see the two of us together?"

"What do you envy? Who do you envy?" Lin Zhimao was dissatisfied.

"After all... You are considered single again today." Lou Guo said.

Lin Zhimao wrapped the quilt tightly: "I don't think you came to comfort me at all, you came to stimulate me."

"No, I'm... By the way, you reminded me! Do you want to know who the beauties in those photos are?" Lou Guo asked.

"Not interested." Lin Zhimao said without hesitation.

"Are you sure? Is it out of anger?" Lou Guo asked, "You still set it as a desktop, do you really not like it?"

"It's been changed. It's just a stranger and has nothing to do with me," Lin Zhimao said, "She is not the person I like, not anyone. The person I like is dead."

Lou Guo originally wanted to say some nonsensical words to make the atmosphere more lively, but after a lot of hard work, this sentence brought him back to his original form.

The room fell silent.

In the past, Lin Zhimao has emphasized many times that what he likes is the inside of the other party, and it has nothing to do with the beautiful appearance in the photos.Looking at it now, if what he said was true, then it was clear that he liked Ye Yuan.

It seems that Ye Yuan has such an attraction to him.Whether in real life as a classmate of the same sex, or as a netizen of the opposite sex who can only communicate in text, Lin Zhimao can't help but develop a strong liking for him.

Lin Zhimao once emphasized that it is a kind of soul attraction.

I don't know if his thoughts have changed at this moment, if he regrets it, or if he realizes this and becomes more resentful.

Lou Guo secretly felt uncomfortable for a while, recalled the speculation in the kitchen in the afternoon, and asked, "Tell me, he also scolded you, on what occasion did he scold you?"

"Why are you so curious?" Lin Zhimao asked back.

For fear of a misunderstanding.

In addition to thinking that Ye Yuan is not like this kind of person after a short contact, the more important reason is that he doesn't think Lin Zhimao would appreciate a person with a bad personality so much.

Only kindness and kindness can resonate, this is Lou Guo's subjective expectation of wishful thinking.

"It's not curiosity, it's concern," he said. "It's said that bystanders know better. Tell me about it!"

Lin Zhimao hesitated for a long time, sighed depressedly, and his tone of voice was a little aggrieved: "He said it more than once, and repeated it several times, both publicly and privately. I ignored him, and he still You want to deliberately disgust me."

Lou Guo was very surprised, and asked: "Could it be the person who bullied you who forced him?"

"How is that possible? You're acting in a TV series," Lin Zhimao said, "It's not a bad boy. Most people are just too low-level and like to boo. It's not to this level."

Lou Guo frowned and nodded.

He had watched similar incidents at school in the past.Some children with poor grades, introverted personality, or not outstanding appearance are easily teased by their peers.

Most of the students who gather to publicly mock others for fun are ordinary students, and some of them are even outstanding children in the eyes of outsiders, and they also have a kind and lovely side.

Group behavior is too easy to dilute a person's sense of guilt, and even make people have a sense of mission for their bad words and deeds, and firmly believe that they are right.

Lou Guo, as a bystander, was ignorant in the past, never thought of advocating justice, and even made friends with some of them.

As friends, those people are very friendly to him, and they also have their own emotions and important people or things.

Lou Guo has never been bullied before, and he is not familiar with the bullied children, so he can't empathize with his emotions, and is always out of the ordinary, and only gradually realizes what happened when he grows up.

The scary thing is, looking back, it seems that every class has one or two people who are made fun of since elementary school.

No one was physically harmed, no one violently resisted, no one avoided the school, no one spoke out.

Group bullying in student days is such a very "ordinary" thing that only the victims will take it to heart.

So, did Ye Yuan just react in an "ordinary" way in such an atmosphere?

Lou Guo couldn't help feeling intense disappointment and helplessness in his heart.

"Those people don't do such obviously bad things, they are stupid and superficial, they don't even realize that they are rubbish," Lin Zhimao said.

Lou Guo thought to himself that the second student made a correct speech.

"Besides..." Lin Zhimao muttered, "If someone forced him, he would definitely cry before he even opened his mouth."

This is exactly what Lou Guo guessed.

"So, is he booing when someone attacks you?" he asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhimao pulled off the quilt, his voice became muffled, "Yes."

Too bad, Lou Guo regretted that he started this topic.

Lin Zhimao continued: "At the beginning, he was obviously on my side. Those people mocked me with eccentricity, but he comforted me and told me not to take it to heart. But after a few days, those people even He also made fun of him, asked him if he wanted to be with me forever, called him 'Madam Ye', said I was his husband, and said that he was blown up by me... Anyway, it's disgusting."

Lou Guo can completely imagine the behavior of very standard middle school students.

"Then he began to deliberately distance himself from me," Lin Zhimao sniffed, "I found out that he deliberately avoided me, and I was very angry. After school, I stopped him to talk to him and asked him if it was because he was afraid. He was implicated so he wanted to separate from me, but he was stubborn and refused to admit it, but he couldn't give any other reason."

"Forget it, don't think about it," Lou Guo said, "It's getting late, shall we sleep?"

Lin Zhimao ignored his words and continued: "I told him, didn't you say it yourself, there is no need to take it to heart. What do you care about those people, and you can't do anything to us. We will continue All right, piss them off."

"He doesn't agree?"

"He looked at me in horror and asked me if I was gay and if I really liked him."

"..."

"I'm so pissed off," Lin Zhimao turned around and said angrily, "On my birthday, he clearly told me that it was his wish, but he was laughed at by outsiders, and he acted like I was disgusting. .Can you understand my mood at that time?"

"Then... what happened next?" Lou Guo asked.

"I felt that he was trampling on my feelings, so I ignored him," Lin Zhimao said. "After a few days, someone in the class noticed that we had stopped talking, and started to startle him again, saying that our relationship broke down and we broke up. Also asked him if he got dumped. Some boys are really, childish and boring to death, pretending we are on stage for a melodrama, saying please don't leave me, as if they think they are very humorous. All the classmates are laughing there, he just cried."

"..."

"I couldn't stand it, so I asked them, do they feel happy when they see others sad, and why do they have to be so vicious. Most people stopped being angry when they saw me, and a very few brain-dead people even made a fuss, saying that I am a hero who saves the beauty when I have more feelings. He's not impressed."

"It's so cheap!" Lou Guo was very angry when he heard it.

Even if he was just an ignorant fool at the beginning, if he encountered such a scene, he would definitely feel uncomfortable and wanted to say a few words for the victim.

"Scum," Lin Zhimao said after cursing, "but I'm only angry with those people, and he makes me sad. When it's that kind of atmosphere, I see him crying sadly, and want to pull him out of the classroom, He didn't want to!"

"why?"

"Maybe he still doubts me and thinks I'm disgusting," Lin Zhimao said. "With so many people watching, he asked me in public if I liked him and if I was gay."

"..."

Lin Zhimao was angry: "Those bitches laughed so hard!"

Lou Guo could imagine how embarrassing Lin Zhimao would be at that time.

"I was so angry that I picked up my schoolbag and left," Lin Zhimao said, "I didn't want to stay for a second. But when I was halfway there, he sent me another message."

"say what?"

"Reread," Lin Zhimao snorted, "'Are you gay?', 'Do you like me?', crazy!"

Lou Guo vaguely felt something was wrong.

"Uh... Is there a possibility, that is... that..." He said cautiously, "He really wants to know the answer?"

"Oh, maybe," Lin Zhimao said, "Make sure I don't have ulterior motives, and if so, run away, right?"

"Don't get excited," Lou Guo reassured, "Think about it, if he thinks so, why does he still pretend to be a girl to approach you? If he has an online relationship with you, it means..."

"It means he's sick!" Lin Zhimao was completely enraged, "You still mention this, and I'm even angrier when you mention it!"

"No, no," Lou Guo hurriedly stretched out his hand to pat him across the quilt, "I want to say...whether he expects you to be really gay? He knows you're a boy, so he's dating you online. Why don't you just explain yourself... right?"

"Then why didn't he just say it? Why did he lie to me?" Lin Zhimao asked, "Why did you humiliate me in public? Why didn't I drag him out? Why did you let others laugh at me?"

Lou Guo thought, Lin Zhimao seemed to be trapped in a logical vortex and couldn't get out.

"In fact, many things are not that complicated," he said, "but there will be many coincidences and many irrationalities, because people are... not that smart. I often say stupid things and do stupid things, accidentally offending people. For example, I clearly I wanted to comfort you, but you were angry when you heard it, but I didn't mean to be angry with you at all."

"..."

"Everyone's ideas are different, and it's easy to get into the wrong place when you have preconceived emotions. Have you learned the idiom that the suspect steals the ax?" Lou Guo said, "You think he is scolding you, and the more you think about it, the more you think he Don't worry about it."

"Then... what do you think he is thinking?" Lin Zhimao asked softly.

Lou Guo opened and closed his mouth, hesitated a few times, and said, "I think there may be a misunderstanding... But, it's not necessarily true, this may just be wishful thinking on my part."

He was afraid that Lin Zhimao would believe his words and would have expectations again, but in the end they would be disappointed and would be hurt even more.

"Why don't you do this," Lou Guo suggested, "Give me Ye Yuan's contact information, and I'll have a good chat with him and ask him what he thinks."

Lin Zhimao said nothing, neither objecting nor agreeing.

Lou Guo waited patiently for a while, seeing that he couldn't make a choice, he said, "Then you can think about it for a few more days, there is no rush."

After speaking, he patted Lin Zhimao's quilt lightly.

"You are still young, and you will meet many different people in the future. Maybe there will be someone who is more compatible with you. Even if it is not him, you will have new friends. I have almost no contact with my middle school friends. So if you feel that there is no need to contact again, just let it be vented after you said it today, and don’t take it to heart all the time. But..."

"But what?" Lin Zhimao asked.

"If you are brooding on it and regard it as a thorn in your heart, then I hope to help you untangle this knot in your heart." Lou Guo said.
