I'm still doing fine

Chen Chen hadn't spoken all night, but now his voice was loud, even though his eyes were full of cunning, his voice was still hoarse.

He pursed his lips, as if he was dissatisfied with his aging voice. Seeing that Tang Xiaozheng's complexion didn't change much, but his brows were furrowed. Haha, "Morning, Mama Tang, look at the sky outside, it's so beautiful, the sun is out!"

"Look, look..." Putting on a standard smirk with eight teeth showing, while Tang Xiaozheng turned his head to look out the window, Chen Chen slipped into the toilet against the wall, snapped Close the door with a snap, "Just wait for me for 10 minutes, come out right away!"

A thin hollow wooden door can't stop the sound of rushing water, and naturally it can't stop Chen Chen's melodious tune humming intermittently.

Tang Xiaozheng sat down at the end of the bed and never looked back from the window. He seemed to be in a trance, but he remembered to turn down the volume of the TV.

He tapped the quilt that was still warm with his fingertips, silently and on the beat, his mind was in chaos for a moment, and finally gave the name to the out-of-tune song - "Tomorrow will be better", it was at noon when he was in elementary school Radio music after class.

Will tomorrow be better?

He curled his mouth and smiled, remembering that he had asked Chen Chen this question.

"Yes, why not?" In the dazzling sunset, without even thinking about it, the man let go of the milk tea straw, his cheeks bulging, "The seeds sown today will bear fruit many, many tomorrows." Bear fruit. Tomorrow will be another harvest day after another.”

"Scores, friendship, love, and money, aren't they all like this?" Seeing the crowd passing by, he stuffed the milk tea into Tang Xiaozheng's hands, "I never had such a large amount of pocket money every month before. I can’t just enter an Internet cafe confidently, but now I can do it. Things that I couldn’t get in the past can be held in my hands in the future, and thresholds that I couldn’t get into in the past can be stepped into in the future. Tomorrow, isn’t it good enough?”

A determined light lit up from the bottom of his eyes, Tang Xiaozheng turned the milk tea cup in his hand, looked down at the pale powdery liquid swaying and wiped out a layer of foam, "If, what you want..."

He said, looking at Chen Chen's side face again, "Even if you work hard, you still can't get it?"

"Isn't this too desperate?" Chen Chen blinked, swallowed the cassava flour balls in his mouth, seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then raised his elbow to poke Tang Xiaozheng's arm, "Don't keep thinking so darkly, How about a brighter life? You are so smart, as long as you work hard, you can always do what you want."

Chen Chen grinned and narrowed his eyes, his smooth and fair skin reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, which made Tang Xiaozheng feel a little glaring for a moment, and a certain impulse that was ready to go suddenly surged into his throat, and he was instantly embarrassed.

"There is something on the teeth." At that time, he ran away in a hurry, changed the subject abruptly, and pointed at Chen Chen's front teeth, "Shut up."

At that time, he looked very cowardly.

"Boom!" Tang Xiaozheng was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard someone slamming into the toilet door vigorously, and the blurry shadow disappeared suddenly on the frosted glass wall on the side, the speed was too fast.

The water marks accumulated on the tiled floor, the non-slip thin-soled slippers... and the simple and sharp metal lines on the doorknob, the images that flashed through Tang Xiaozheng's mind are connected together, like a memory in a movie. of flashes.

"Chenchen?" Before the shout in his voice fell to the ground, he rushed to the door, opened the door and stopped the figure who jumped out.

"Hmm!" Chen Chen was lying on his back on the carpet in the entrance hall with his toothbrush in his mouth. Thanks to the soft pavement, he didn't hurt too much, but he smiled at Tang Xiaozheng's obvious anxiety, and asked vaguely , "What are you doing, you suddenly opened the door and caused me to fall."

"No..." Tang Xiaozheng was stunned, and looked inside, only to see a pile of glass fragments in the corner of the dead body, then looked down at Chen Chen, pulled his arm and picked him up, "You don't care What are you doing? There are marbles everywhere in the toilet, are you hard as a human or a rock?"

"The tooth cup was swept to the ground by the hair dryer." Chen Chen raised his right hand to defend, "I saved one, and I can pay less."

Tang Xiaozheng let out a long breath, pulled Chen Chen around in a circle, saw that the person was mostly intact, then rubbed the redness and swelling on his elbow, and slowed down his tone, "Does it hurt?"

Chen Chen looked at him with a strange expression, his pupils shone brightly, but the corners of his mouth trembled, as if he was about to say something, "You... wait, don't move!"

Two drops of saliva almost flowed down the corner of his mouth. Chen Chen covered his mouth and stared at Tang Xiaozheng until the man stretched out his hand to the height of his chest and slightly closed his chin as a gesture of assurance, then turned around and ran to the pool again , Don't forget to hook the door leaf when you enter the door.

In less than 5 minutes, he changed his usual dawdling, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, and walked out again, shaking the dripping water from his face, and stretched out a hand to Tang Xiaozheng, like a child who can't take care of himself ,"wipe."

He bit his lower lip and shrunk his neck. In fact, he was ready to be reprimanded for overreaching. His eyelids drooped by a quarter, but Tang Xiaozheng was not only not angry, but obediently went to get the towel .

"Look up." Through a layer of cotton material, he wiped Chen Chen's right hand one by one, raised his head and bumped into the unresponsive person, and simply moved directly while covering the towel, pinching his chin and telling him to look up, " When you come out to stay in the future, don’t put your towels directly into the hotel’s sink, it’s dirty.”

His tone of voice was very blunt, but his movements were always gentle. After all, he was used to taking care of him. He pressed the cotton towel and gently sucked the water from Chen Chen's face bit by bit.

"No wonder I couldn't touch the towel just now." Chen Chen's voice rang out under his palm, "Besides, you still use mine if you think it's dirty."

"I scalded it with boiling water." Tang Xiaozheng let go, spread out the towel and folded it neatly, "Do you remember?"

"If you forget, just remind me." Chen Chen stood still, then stretched out his hand, pointing to a bottle of moisturizer on the table a few steps away, "I haven't wiped my face yet."

Covered by a towel, Tang Xiaozheng's fingertips trembled violently, and immediately looked a little unnatural, "How old are you, do it yourself."

"I was scratched by the debris." He turned to leave, but was grabbed by Chen Chen's wrist, and the man finally stretched out his left hand, which was originally behind his back, and the white and slender index finger was covered with fleshy damage. Blood overflowed from the incision. At first glance, the cut was not shallow. "It's okay to get water on the wound, but moisturizer..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Xiaozheng's broken left hand fell into Tang Xiaozheng's palm. Unexpectedly, he didn't hear any reproach, only a very soft sigh in his ear.

Tang Xiaozheng tore off the tissue without saying a word, wiped off the horrible blood on his fingertips, took out a band-aid from his wallet, wrapped it properly, then washed his hands and walked to the table, soaked in enough moisturizer skin cream.

"Close your eyes." The cool ointment was wrapped in two wide palms, and it gradually became warm. Tang Xiaozheng rubbed his hands and walked towards Chen Chen.

Chen Chen was very obedient this time, he closed his eyes tightly, and his five senses became more acute after he lost his vision. The moment Tang Xiaozheng got close, he felt like a cat with its hair blown out, and dense itches appeared in the back of his heart for no reason, and he was in a mess all at once. took a breath.

He felt guilty and sweated a little, but he didn't realize that Tang Xiaozheng was no different from him at this time.

Tang Xiaozheng looked down, Chen Chen was looking up, his facial features were close at hand, motionless, his defenseless eyelashes were trembling, his lips and teeth were completely parted in trust, and his moist skin was delicate, which could be seen against the light. Fine and tiny fine hairs on the surface.

This is a good position for kissing.

Tang Xiaozheng came up with an idea unconsciously, and frowned again as if he forcibly forgot it deliberately. He held Chen Chen's face in his hands, wrapping his warm cheeks with his palms.

It was softer and smoother than expected, Tang Xiaozheng kept a cold face, but he didn't suppress the undercurrent surging in his heart at all.

The thenar of his palm was pressed against the side of Chen Chen's neck, and the beating pulse under that layer of skin seemed to be clinging to his arm, over his shoulder, and rolled into his chest cavity, causing another hidden heart to resonate. beat.

He brushed over Chen Chen's curved eyebrows, the thin eyelids where the eyeballs could roll slightly, the tall and straight nose bridge, and the rosy and moist corners of his lips.

He wiped it gently with his fingertips, over and over again, until all the glistening liquid seeped into the skin.

Tang Xiaozheng understands that this is not the distance that should exist between friends, even old friends who have known each other for decades are still too close.The irascible "ceremony officer" in his heart had already yelled at him to let go, but he found that he couldn't do it.

He was thinking with all his heart that in his long life, there was probably no time when he could be given such a chance to be intimate with Chen Chen.

So even more... reluctant.

He stopped his thumb in the crowd, lightly pressed Chen Chen's smooth lip line, touched the soft and warm breath with his fingertips, and suddenly wanted to kiss him.

He is indeed headed in this direction.

Tang Xiaozheng bent down, and approached Chen Chen very lightly and slowly. When he was so close that his eyelashes flickered like small fans, as if they were about to catch his eyes, he suddenly stopped.

Chen Chen's breath hit his face, it was hot, probably his own breath was not too much, as if the atmosphere of the ceremony was just in place, and everything had to be done on the fly.

But the familiar sweet orange fragrance filled the nostrils in an instant.

It was the smell that reassured him. It was Chen Chen's breath that Tang Xiaozheng couldn't catch and distinguish many times when he thought about it.

"Okay." Tang Xiaozheng pulled away abruptly as if waking up in a start, and withdrew his hand on Chen Chen's face with a little disturbance, "It's ok."

But he didn't retreat too far, looking down, it was Chen Chen who was pulling the corner of his clothes, "You..."

"You like me too, don't you?"

Chen Chen's chest rose and fell, and he took a deep breath, "I knew it! It's not in vain that I endured the pain and scratched myself."
