bother you

The thick carpet covered the sound of footsteps, and the sound of the guest room door being unlocked was particularly loud.Yan Xiao inserted the room card into the power slot, and the room suddenly lit up.

Zhaofan passed by him without seeing anything, and even looked around when standing in the middle of the room.

Yan Xiao subconsciously pursed his lips, remembering that in Xuncheng last autumn, Zhaofan did the same, carefully observing the furnishings in the room as soon as he entered the room.But at that time, he hadn't revealed his relationship, so Zhaofan was totally unprepared.The two of them slept in the same bed for two nights in a row, covered with a quilt, and compared their size, and made a foolish joke about "brewing honey".

just now……

He sighed in his heart, closed the door sideways, and greeted, "Sit down, I'll get you a bottle of water."

The room is a bit messy, except for the bed, the only thing that can sit is the sofa that Yan Ce sat on not long ago.Zhaofan originally wanted to sit on the bed, but after hesitating for a while, he chose the sofa.

Yan Xiao brought a bottle of iced mineral water, "Here."

"Only this?" Zhao Fan took it, but didn't unscrew it immediately.

Yan Xiao didn't expect that Zhaofan would ask him for other drinks. He was overjoyed for a moment, and reached out to get the mineral water back, "There's still Coke, but it's not in the refrigerator."

Zhaofan lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the mineral water they were holding together, and he slammed it hard, making Yan Xiao hold it empty, "Forget it, it's boring without ice."

Yan Xiao had some drops of water on his hands, annoyed why he didn't throw the Coke in the refrigerator.

"I came up just now." Zhao Fan didn't drink any water, and put the mineral water on the coffee table, his wet hands folded together, a bit like negotiating, "I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered."

Yan Xiao's heart seemed to be touched by something very light, "Sorry, I'm downstairs in the garden."

"I'm in a hurry." Zhao Fan said.

Yan Xiao's lip line was tight, and he looked at him suddenly.

"I thought you were already taken away by your brother." Zhao Fan scratched his hair, wiped the water on his hair, and when the sun shone on it, it seemed to be covered with a piece of light dust.

"You..." Yan Xiao's throat tightened, "Are you worried about me? When we bumped into each other just now, did you want to chase to the airport?"

Zhaofan glanced at him, "Yes."

His temples throbbed, and the blood was not sure whether it was diving or reversing. Yan Xiao felt slightly dizzy, and his eyes were like electricity.

"But your brother doesn't seem to be as vicious as I imagined." Zhao Fan forced a smile, "Anyway, it's good that you're fine."

"Zhaofan." Yan Xiao called.

"Ok?"

"Thank you." There are many things I want to say, but there are thousands of words, and only thanks can be easily expressed.

Zhao Fan shook his head, "I am responsible. If your brother wants to punish you and I really can't protect you, I should at least be punished with you."

Yan Xiao half raised his face, put his hands behind his back, "What happened that day..."

"I thought about it calmly." Zhao Fan took a sip of ice water and interrupted, "I was too impulsive that day and said some nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Yan Xiao's chest was a little numb, his heart was beating extremely fast, he didn't speak, trying to maintain the surface calm.

"I said that you are like Li Siqiao and his ilk, which is really hurtful." Zhao Fan's eyes were frank and sincere, without any dodging, "I have to apologize to you."

Yan Xiao shook his head lightly.

Zhao Fan rubbed his chin, not relaxed, "Brother Xiao, I have always regarded you as my best brother, you are different from those who said 'like' to me before. That's why I was so excited that day."

Yan Xiao gave a low "hmm", with intense sadness in his heart.

"I don't know how you 'like' me." Zhaofan slowed down, carefully choosing his words, "Ever since I met you, I think you are interesting and fun. Being with you, I feel Very comfortable. The longer we get along, the more I feel that we hit it off, and I think we can be good brothers for a lifetime."

Speaking of this, Zhaofan frowned, with a bit of disappointment on his face, "But to you, I am a person who is 'love at first sight'."

Seeing his loss, Yan Xiao was heartbroken, but also felt aggrieved.

Zhaofan sighed, "The most boring thing is 'love at first sight', how long can 'love at first sight' last?"

"Forever." Yan Xiao murmured.

Zhaofan was startled, obviously not believing, "Really?"

The atmosphere was oppressive, the two looked straight into each other's eyes, and the silence spread in all directions starting from the place where the eyes met.

We all know each other, and no one can convince the other.

After a long time, Zhaofan stood up, "I'm going back."

Yan Xiao suddenly grabbed his wrist, like that day in the woods, "Listen to me."

He exerted a three-point force, but he didn't break free, so he didn't break free.

Yan Xiao was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking up at him, "Can you give me a chance?"

The wrist was pinched extremely tightly, and the trembling there climbed up the arm, Zhao Fan said, "Brother Xiao, I feel very sad."

The trembling from the wrist stopped suddenly.

"You carry a lot of weight here." Zhao Fan thumped his chest, "Why do you insist on pulling our relationship in that direction?"

Yan Xiao's eyes turned red, "Then why do you have to be brothers with me?"

The contradiction has returned to the original point.

It seems that everyone is right, and it seems that everyone is wrong.

Zhao Fan thought for a long time before saying decisively, "I don't have the kind of feelings you want for you."

Yan Xiao's chest throbbed, and when he let go of his fingers, he said, "I don't have the friendship you want for you."

This friendship has been misplaced from the very beginning, one person pursues sincere friendship, the other pursues romantic love, friendship is tolerant, while love is single-minded, water and fire are incompatible, but they have the same weight in each other's hearts, so who Can't let go, no one is reconciled, no one feels bad.

No one can ask for it.

Zhaofan stood there for a long time, opened the door and left without even saying "goodbye".

Yan Xiao sat stupidly, his side had been empty for a long time before he turned around and looked at the empty corridor.

screwed up again.

He hugged his head in pain, his heart, liver, spleen and lungs seemed to be out of place, the pain of Zhaofan's pain was also pained by himself.

The application for an internship in Shancheng was passed easily, and Zhaofan called Lin Haocheng.Lin Haocheng sighed several times, but he didn't say anything to stop him. He just told him to pay attention to safety, unite with colleagues, and take care of himself like any parent who can't stop worrying.

Before hanging up, Zhaofan suddenly called out: "Dad—"

Lin Haocheng was a little surprised, "Huh?"

"You..." Zhao Fan swallowed his saliva, "Have you never thought of getting married at all these years?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Just curious."

Lin Haocheng smiled, "It's not because of you. I took you with me when I was young and handsome. You were thin and small back then. You spent all my money and scared away the people who admired me. .”

Zhaofan sighed, "I'm telling you the truth!"

"Isn't that normal?"

"Then I'm not your oil bottle now, am I? Why don't you look for it?"

"Old man, no one cares about me."

"fart!"

Lin Haocheng teased for a while, stopped, and said seriously: "It's just that I don't have that kind of thought, and people don't have to get married in this life. When you meet the right person, you want to help you live the rest of your life, then get married. If you don't meet, then I won’t get married. I don’t have any attachments to this, and I won’t just find someone to make do with. But you, who suddenly asked whether to get married or not, do you have someone you like?”

Zhao Fan quickly denied it, "No!"

"Then what are you asking?"

"I'll just ask..."

"You, don't fool me." Lin Haocheng said: "You have also reached the age of worrying about love and love."

Zhaofan still wanted to deny it, but Lin Haocheng said again: "Meeting the right person and experiencing a relationship is actually a very lucky thing. I don't care about you, but you have to be measured, don't think about it, think about the good things became a bad thing."

"Then what kind of person is 'suitable'?" Zhao Fan lay on the railing, looking a little far away.

"Different people have different standards." Lin Haocheng thought for a while, "In short, we must like and understand each other."

"That's all?" Zhaofan asked.

"En?" Lin Haocheng was puzzled, "What else do you want?"

Zhaofan held back for a long time before asking, "Is gender not important?"

There was silence on the phone.

Zhao Fan was a little embarrassed for a while, "I, I'll just chat with you casually."

Lin Haocheng has naturally seen through it, but he didn't make it clear, "I still mean it just now. When choosing who to be with, the most important thing is to like and understand each other. The rest are all details."

"Brother Hao..." Zhao Fan gripped the railing tightly, his palms sweating.

Lin Haocheng smiled again, "It's been hard work for me to raise you up. I don't even have a partner myself. If you want to fall in love or not, who you want to fall in love with, don't bother me with these crap things. But You have to remember, don't force yourself, and don't force the other party."

After hanging up the phone, Zhaofan was in a daze for a long time, until Lu Xiaochuan came to pat him on the shoulder hard, hugged him very reluctantly, and asked him to treat the whole dormitory to a "breakup meal".

"What's 'separate dinner'." He laughed, "It's not that I won't come back, I just graduated in a year."

Having said that, the days when brothers who live together day and night are numbered.

Satisfied with wine and food, and had a good time eating skewers, Zhao Fan couldn't help but think of Yan Xiao.

Once I go to Shancheng, I'm afraid I won't see Yan Xiao for a long time.

When he was about to leave the police academy, the one who was most reluctant was none other than Yan Xiao.

I parted ways with my classmates with a bright heart, and there will be no obstacles to contact and get together in the future.But there was a rift between Yan Xiao and Yan Xiao before they parted. Let alone a meeting, even a phone call might be very embarrassing.

He wiped his face, lay on the lawn of the sports field with his roommates and watched the night sky, and the sound of snoring gradually sounded in his ears.

I don't want to part with Yan Xiao, probably because I really don't have any chance to meet each other in the future.At the hotel that day, he had already fully understood where the conflict with Yan Xiao was—he wanted friendship from Yan Xiao, while Yan Xiao wanted love from him, two completely different emotions were placed at the two ends of the balance , unexpectedly maintained an absolute balance.

He was reluctant to part with Yan Xiao, but he also didn't want to force himself to turn friendship into love.

He thought very clearly that his feelings for Yan Xiao were not love.

Brother Hao also said, don't force yourself.

He couldn't compromise, and it was the same for Yan Xiao.

In this way, this relationship will come to a dead end, and perhaps not communicating with each other will be the final outcome.

He closed his eyes annoyed.

Zhaofan has never been to Shancheng since he left that backward and isolated mountain village when he was five years old.

In midsummer, when he was dragging his suitcase, carrying a backpack, and stepping on the ground scorched by the sun, his heart was surging.

He's going to be the city's SWAT.

At the same time, Yan Xiao walked out of the community opposite the Wumin district bureau, and went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.

The house was rented three days ago. It has two bedrooms and one living room. Everything is as new, and the water, electricity and network are complete.

As soon as I walked into the supermarket, my phone rang.Yan Xiao picked it up and looked at it, it was Shen Xun.

Shen Xun asked about his settlement in Shancheng, his tone could not hide his worry, he comforted his friend, expressing his own sense of propriety.

Finally, Shen Xun asked: "Do you really think this will impress Zhaofan?"

Yan Xiao supported the shopping station amidst people passing by, as if the pause button had been pressed, and after a few seconds, he said softly: "It may not be impressing."

Shen Xun sighed, "Then you..."

"But between the two of us, one of us has to compromise." Yan Xiao said, "I am willing to be the one who compromises."
