summer flowers will bloom

While Lu Jiwen was worried that Li Zhen would be toyed with by Qiu Yubai, in that beautiful courtyard house, in the studio across the yard from the loft used for daily living, this person who was worried that he would play with the innocent A young man is competing with his job.

He can't do it.

Originally, he didn't really love this job, he just "knew", at most he was good at it, Qiu Yubai can guarantee this: he only lives in this yard, which has been painstakingly designed, and it is also good for other people's homes , shop worth mentioning, he has not invested enough enthusiasm.

He hates work.

In fact, who would really like a job forever?How many people can really love their careers with the same intensity throughout their lives?To put it bluntly, it’s not all about making ends meet.

Perhaps, Qiu Yubai doesn't need to work. His family has money, and there is a part of the money. This part is very big, a lot, and he can just eat, drink and play all day long as his young master without doing anything. .

But he couldn't do that.Inexplicably, he can clearly realize that people need to be busy and bored, otherwise, they will really lose their last vitality and become a walking dead, dying little by little after the initial freedom and idleness. From spirit to body, all perish.

Therefore, Qiu Yubai collected his shares on a monthly basis, and collected his design fees on a daily basis.Maybe he is indeed a genius, because even those designs that he can't even look down on himself are always loved and even praised by customers.

Of course, perhaps to a certain extent, the client was captivated by him as a person.

He has really received all kinds of hints and even explicit hints from "Party A's father". Some of them are also insiders flirting with him. Don't go to open a room and spend the night together.

The latter need not be mentioned, Qiu Yubai just smiled, and the former, when he saw people ordering dishes, some of them also laughed it off, and some of them just rolled their eyes on the bed.

This can be regarded as the added value of work income, or it can all be rebates.When being hugged and wrapped in enthusiasm, Akiba thought so.

But after all, there will be a moment when the enthusiasm cools down. If you go to bed with someone you don't like, if the bed is cold, your heart will also be cold, or maybe it hasn't been warm at all.

Carnal desire can only remain on the surface forever. Desire without emotional basis is itself an animal instinct. The more intense it is when it is burned, the more empty it will be when it is extinguished.

Akiba experienced that emptiness again and again until she was overwhelmed.

Does "the unbearable emptiness of life" count?

He thought so when he was in the mood to laugh at himself.

But now, facing the blueprint in front of him, he would occasionally be dazed for a few seconds, and occasionally think about all the things that happened to him. Suddenly appeared in a trance.

Li Zhen.

This guy is the only one who can bring joy to his life during this time.This guy is a little silly, a little dazed, a little ignorant, but it can make him happy, even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Being happy makes people feel safe, or maybe Li Zhen first brought him a sense of security?Thinking about it this way makes me want to get angry again. Does a big man who is running for four need a kid who is 25 and six to give him a sense of security?

do you need?

Don't you need it?

……

"Haha." Giving herself a sneer, Qiu Yubai couldn't keep going.He just spread out the drawings on the unusually large art table, threw down the drawing pen, and walked to the side sofa, ready to sit down and take a rest, to relax and refresh his mind, and then go to take a bath, early Go to bed and lie down.

As for whether to go to sleep directly, or to watch a small movie first, and then go to bed silently, it depends on the mood.

He thought so, but before he had time to sit down properly, the cell phone thrown on the corner of the table vibrated suddenly.Frowning, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and glanced at the caller on the screen. All the lazy atmosphere that had been prepared to create suddenly turned into bubbles.

It clearly says on it——【Liar】

In fact, in the morning, the name corresponding to that number was still [Li Zhenzhen], which the guy forced him to enter into his phone, but as soon as this Li Zhenzhen left, Qiu Yubai changed it into a charlatan.

A charlatan who claims to be proficient in cuddling therapy.

It's time to kill.

It's just that the one who couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw those words was also him, a charlatan.

"Hello?" The phone vibrated several times before he finally answered the call.

[Hello, is this Mr. Akiha Hakushu? ] There was an inquiry from the other end of the phone that was a bit like an official customer service.

Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then became angry when she heard the other party's uncontrollable laughter.

"What are you doing so late?!"

['Ward rounds', check if the patient is eating well, is there anyone secretly smoking and drinking, remind me not to stay up late...]

"That's harassment?"

[Look at what you said. ] The earpiece was not angry, but heyed twice, then paused for a while, and then continued. This time, the voice became a bit surprisingly gentle, 【...Hey, I'm done with the matter at hand , Tomorrow is also relatively free, if you don't mind... I want to find you. 】

"Why are you looking for me?" Qiu Yubai asked with her usual stinking attitude as her heart fluttered suddenly.

[Why not, I want to chat with you and stay with you for a while. 】

"I don't need to accompany you."

[Okay, I'll be there in a while. 】

"You! ... Hello? Hello??"

Simply inexplicable! ! !

At first, Qiu Yubai scolded like that.

But after ten seconds, he didn't think much about it, and half a minute later, he fell into thinking, and finally left the studio without saying a word, went back to the main room, went upstairs, and selected the thought from his closet. Clothes to change into.

Li Zhen is poisonous.Qiu Yubai, who denied her own reasons, thought so.

However, when he changed his clothes and tidied his hair, while telling himself that he only did this to meet people more decently, he went down to the first floor, sat on the sofa and began to think about what to say in the first sentence after meeting, When he satirized the kid, the phone suddenly vibrated again.

Thinking it would be another call from the "charlatan", Qiu Yubai looked at the screen, but to his absolute surprise, there was another person's name flashing there.

——Lu Jiwen.

Qiu Yubai never thought that one day, Lu Jiwen would take the initiative to find him again.And, with such purpose and such manner.

The man who chose to leave back then, the man who loved him and treated him sincerely, finally came back out of the sense of protection among family members, and the first sentence after he connected the phone was: "It's me, Lu Jiwen." Then came the warning: "It may be a bit sudden to say this, but... the Li Zhen you met recently is my cousin, no matter what reason you get involved with him, I just hope you Don't hurt him. That's it."

Qiu Yubai listened and thought, the expression on his face changed from doubt to surprise, from entanglement to resentment, and finally, his chest heaved and the corners of his mouth raised, and he let out a smile that was extremely cold and tragic.

"It's no coincidence, it's really... Li Zhen is your relative, that can explain everything. I can see that he is interested in me, just like you were interested in me back then. Both of you brothers want to wear the same pair of shoes. This shows that it’s not that the whole family doesn’t come in. But I have to correct you, it’s not that I got involved with him, but he insisted on getting involved with me. As for whether I will hurt him... it depends on the situation, if I’m happy , maybe let him wear these 'shoes', if I'm not happy, it's my freedom to hurt him how I want, you have the ability to make him stop thinking about me, just as promising as you were back then It's as if it's gone!"

Any words, once said in a fit of anger, will lose their fairness.

No matter for which side.Whether it was caused by the family's desire to protect, or the stress reaction of being poked in the back and slapped in the mouth, the faces of the two people on both ends of the phone were ugly enough.

Lu Jiwen beat with prejudice, and successfully made Qiu Yubai lose his temper.But when he loses his temper, he doesn't yell, he's not the type to yell at all.He will turn all the emotions in his heart into vicious and mean words, express them to the other party with acrimonious words, try his best to pierce the heart, and then leave as quickly as possible when the other party becomes more emotional, leaving behind a mess Not resolved.

For Qiu Yubai, there is no such thing as "have a good talk".

What he thinks after a problem occurs is often not to solve it, but to escape.Like an ostrich who refuses to face the unexpected disaster, he just buries his head in the sand and pretends that nothing exists.

But even so, everything still exists, clearly and clearly.

The world in the sand is dark and warm, but the world outside is real.It's as if no matter how you evade, no matter how harsh and mean you hang up the phone quickly, the bad mood will not disappear, and what should come will come, such as Li Zhen.

However, after letting the kid into the yard in silence, Qiu Yubai did not let him into the house logically.Just as the loyal dog rejoiced and the guy behind him raised his foot to step over the threshold, the man in front suddenly stopped.He turned his head and looked at Li Zhen for two or three seconds, until he was bewildered, and finally asked.

"do you like me?"

The question was indeed a bit simple and rude, and even those who were as direct as Li Zhen were stunned for a while.However, when he realized that the other party was not joking, the answer came naturally.

"You can see it." Li Zhen smirked twice, then nodded, "All right, I admit it. I am."

"What is it?"

"I like you."

"What do you like me?"

"...What do you want me to say?" The young man standing there put his hands in the pockets of his jeans, tiptoed on the heels of his canvas shoes, pulled out his fingers, and tugged at the slightly wrinkled shoes. The front of the big red T-shirt was somewhat cramped, and he was busy phrasing in his mind, "It should be said, I just think you... I want to take care of you."

"That's all?" Qiu Yubai almost sneered, "Do you think I'm just your patient?"

"No, no, no, definitely not. Well... let's put it this way, I want to love you well." As if he finally found the outlet for words, Li Zhen's face was a little more confident than usual.

"why?"

"You're a pain in the ass."

"Because I don't know how to take care of myself? No...you wait, you can see that I have a bad temper, right? Huh?"

"Yes, it can be seen that there is a huge difference."

"...Then what's so painful?!" The frank nod made him a little angry, and Qiu Yubai clenched his fist with the hand holding the door frame, wanting to punch him at any time.

"Don't be in a hurry, look at what you are in a hurry for, the topic started so suddenly, if you don't let me in, then can I not panic." Feeling a little anxious, Li Zhen felt the short-term freeze of the atmosphere between the two, and listened Listening to the movement of the American drama coming from nowhere, sniffing the smell of food from the surrounding people in the air, he forced himself to calm down in a very short time, and then took a deep breath.

Then, he spoke.

He said, first of all, I don't like you because I think you are good-looking, although you are indeed good-looking.To be precise, your appearance is not the same type as I like, and I am more inclined to the kind of cute and beautiful boy in daily life.So you can rest assured that my liking for you is not the kind of face-seeking party.

Secondly, I don't like you because of your special personality. Your personality is a little too special. You don't admit that you are afraid of being alone, you don't admit that you like to be accompanied by others, and you use indifference as a shield, and you always put on a cold expression. Obviously very happy, just don't express it.Let me tell the truth, generally no one would like your personality.But I'm not a masochist, I don't like you like this, I think I can vaguely see what you should be, and I want to like that you.

In the end, I actually have my own concerns. After all, we are one round behind. It doesn’t mean that you are too old. I just think that this gap will cause a bit of a generation gap between us, so there must be a lot of communication in the future. People, you know, have a thicker skin, but you are different, you are the kind who doesn’t say anything, no, no, I have to say that you are the kind of person who dare not speak your true thoughts directly for fear of losing your sense of security, but I think as long as you slow down Take your time, you won't be unable to talk all the time.so……

so?So what so, enough.

The last sentence was Qiu Yubai's thought.He didn't say it, just like Li Zhen said, he didn't dare to say what he really thought, and at the same time, he didn't like his true self to be seen through.

He didn't understand why a young man in his twenties, a college student who hadn't had much in-depth communication, would understand him so well. Could it be that such a thing as a horoscope really exists?Or is it that the two of them are actually at odds, and this person is his destined nemesis?Is it the executioner-level natural enemy sent by God to make him unable to even pretend and make his last layer of fictional sense of security disappear?

The expressions on his face were mixed, and the emotions in his heart were turbulent. In the end, all Qiu Yubai could do was to temporarily avoid the other party's eyes, which were extraordinarily calm, or more or less nervous, and looked away. Putting it on the silly huge white "YES" on the chest of the bright red T-shirt, I adjusted my breathing rhythm a few times before I lowered my eyelashes, sighed weakly, and told the other party:

"Li Zhen, you have a cousin, right? Your cousin is called Lu Jiwen, right? He just called and said that if I'm not sincere, don't get close to you, or don't let you get close to me. "

Up to this point, the man who always had a silly but handsome smile on his face was stunned. For the first time, his eyes revealed a bit of confusion and panic.

"I know Lu Jiwen. He was nice to me many years ago. I didn't care. Now I regret it. I went to him, but he didn't bother to talk to me anymore. How small is the world? People can't avoid each other. I always have to get together..." In the middle of speaking, the feeling of sadness became more intense, the hands that were clenched into fists trembled a little, and the ankles were also on the verge of extreme tension as if they were about to cramp, Qiu Yubai lowered his head and smiled wryly for a few moments When he raised his head again, his words were even more depressing than before, "Li Zhen, I'm just like this, I can't change it, I may never change my temper, we are so close One round, this can't be changed, I'm about to go to four, and you can barely say that you are going to three. But... If you want to, stay today, just like this once in your life, you want I will agree to whatever I do. Then, you can hate me and scold me as much as you want, as long as you get out at dawn, don't come here again, don't contact me again, you..."

"You wait first." Suddenly interrupting the other party's sloppy words, Li Zhen made a pause gesture, and then pulled the trembling wrist so that Qiu Yubai would no longer hold the door frame to block the way, and he lightly Gently pushing him back a few steps into the room, he followed into the room, and then closed the door behind his back.

"Let me go, it's impossible at the moment." It was rare for such a young man to show fierce domineering energy in his eyes. Li Zhen stared at him without any concealment, and when he spoke again, he was determined The son made the tone even deeper and more lethal, "How about you and my brother, it's all over anyway, right. I really like you, and you really know it, right? Then if you It's also interesting to me, even if it's just a little bit of meaning, you nod, you nod, it's a big trouble, I'm not afraid of it. Let me tell you this, I, Li Zhen, as long as I confirm that I like it, I won't Going to be afraid!"
