I'm still doing fine

"Huh?" When Tang Xiaozheng came back from the dining car, Chen Chen seemed to have just woken up, his sleepy eyelids rolled up and folded into three folds, "Where did you go?"

"Dining car." Tang Xiaozheng sat down, took out the thermos cup from his backpack, and handed it over, "Drink some water and wake up, the stop is coming soon."

"Ouch..." Chen Chen didn't even look at it, but raised his head and took a sip, with an expression as if he had drunk boiling water, "Coffee? It's really bitter."

In fact, Chen Chen is not very picky about food, sour, sweet, salty, spicy, steamed, fried, and cooked. As long as he is hungry, he is happy to try it, but he can't learn to endure hardship alone.

When he was young, he was forced by Shang Qing to drink a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine, and he could spit out the milk for breakfast. After more than ten years, the limit he can accept is only cappuccino.

"I forgot." Tang Xiaozheng glanced at the dark liquid in the cup, then at Chen Chen's vivid expression of bared teeth, finally smiled a little, stood up and took out the creamer and sugar from his backpack, poured them Filled two bags into it, stirred them and handed them back to him, "Let's make do with it first, the dining car is too far away to run...An Yichi gave you a piece of chocolate pie, eat it if you feel bitter."

"...Forget it." Chen Chen's eyes wandered between the snacks and the water cup, and after turning back a few times, he licked the little coffee left on the cup with the tip of his tongue, just like cautiously probing before taking medicine, "Get out of the car and eat again. Afraid that I would vomit."

The sound was surrounded by the mouth of the cup, and the urn sounded. Tang Xiaozheng followed the sound and saw the tip of Chen Chen's tongue, which was fumigated by the heat and brought a fresh red color.

"Huh?" Chen Chen blinked and met Tang Xiaozheng's ecstatic gaze, and subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, "What are you looking at, I'm drooling?"

"No." Tang Xiaozheng looked away awkwardly, put his chin on the phone and turned on the phone, his ears turned red silently, and was a little uncomfortable by the rough and wet touch of the tip of his tongue in his imagination, "Keep away from the mouth of the cup when talking A little bit, how can I drink when my saliva splashes in?"

"No, no, I can drink it myself, I won't keep it for you." Chen Chen rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud after a while, stretched out his hands to pinch the soft/flesh of his cheeks, and pulled people to look over, Squeeze a weird smile with some force, "It's finally back to normal. To be honest, what happened, did you peek at the flight attendant and get scolded, and your face drooped?"

Tang Xiaozheng paused, drooping his eyes for a moment, then waved his hands away, "Who is all right? Nothing happened."

"Forget it..." Chen Chen rubbed his fingers, secretly thinking that he had made a profit, and curled his lips in disbelief, "Just play with me, anyway, I'm easy to deceive."

He retracted into the seat, tightened the lid of the cup and placed it on the small table, grabbed the chocolate pie and flipped it in his hand, staring blankly at the advertisement behind the seat in front of him.

I was stunned, and saw a chubby little hand sticking out from the gap in the seat, tremblingly approaching Orion's packing bag.

"Hey! Do you want it?" Chen Chen regained his energy, poked his head to look, and met a pair of clear and clean eyes. It was a child who didn't seem to be more than 1 year old. "Come, come, come a little more, it's enough I'll give you... Come on, come over a little more..."

"Thank you brother!" The child's mother poked her head out, smiled apologetically, explained the truth to the child, and turned around slowly, "But you can't ask for things from brother, it's impolite of."

"It's fine, it's fine, I provoked him." Chen Chen walked in without retreating, grabbing the back of the chair to talk, "He's so cute, he's a boy or a girl... It's been a few months... Can he walk... How old is he? Long tooth?"

It wasn't until the station before Shuosang that the parents got off with their children and finally waved their hands reluctantly and fell back into their seats, sighing regretfully, "Oh, if she is a few years older, she will be able to talk , Just call brother to listen."

Tang Xiaozheng frowned in thought, watched the whole process silently, as if he was thinking about something else, and the paper on the phone screen did not scroll down, "If you like it, just take a look from a distance, isn't that enough?"

"Huh?" Chen Chen blinked and thought for a while, "Of course it's not enough. If I don't tell you, how does she know that I like her?"

"Why should she know?" Now Tang Xiaozheng nodded and shook his head, a little puzzled.

"... Knowing that you are liked by others is good for children, isn't it?" Chen Chen can't say that he just can't play with his mobile phone, he is bored, and he can't find anything enough to support his theory in his lack of brain. , Nonsense, "Otherwise, why do we have to watch "Education of Love" since we were young?"

"Anyway." The more he said, the more confident he became, "It's a good thing to be liked, isn't there anything wrong with that?... It's a pity that she can't speak."

"You should be clear about this, right?" Suddenly remembered something, he poked Tang Xiaozheng's elbow with a smile, "May I ask what it was like to be liked by Chen Chen, please answer."

In the smiling pupils, Tang Xiaozheng pursed his lips and coughed to cover it up, "It's almost done."

"You're so arrogant." Chen Chen realized now that the verbal teasing was completely familiar, and if he didn't stop talking, he would be so embarrassed that his face was flushed, "Could it be that you haven't believed me yet? "

He stared at Tang Xiaozheng with a bit of blame, "I'm a man, I have to take the initiative when I should take the initiative, you can't ask me by the standards of a girl..."

"No." Tang Xiaozheng looked aggrieved as if he was acting, and murmured the last sentence over the announcement of the arrival of the train, "You are fine."

They are finally, one step closer.

"Hey, did my strategy work?" Fortunately, Chen Chen has good hearing. Hearing this, he glanced at him and couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth. Defeat! Didn't lie to me, didn't lie to me..."

"I didn't have ears when I took the sixth grade exam." Tang Xiaozheng was a little annoyed, carrying a backpack through the huge crowds at the station, and wrapped Chen Chenxuxu in the outstretched arms, "It's sharp at this time."

"What?...I didn't study last time, so the naked test doesn't count." The suitcase gurgled, reflecting Chen Chen's self-comforting voice, "I will definitely pass next time!"

"What can you do?" Tang Xiaozheng repeated in pretended confusion, listening to his serious tone, amused.

"..." The large square in front of the station evacuated the crowded crowd, and Chen Chen stood still with a sigh of relief, and then he started to joke, "I passed the National Sixth Sense Level Ability Test. Although my English is poor, I am lucky. , I will pass it next time."

The sunset that day was like a brocade, like an overturned paint tray, spreading the flames that stretched for thousands of miles.

Chen Chen squinted into Tang Xiaozheng's tender eyes, and remembered a common saying.

"The morning glow does not go out, the evening glow travels thousands of miles."

This is a good sign.

About three months later, when the winter officially entered, Chen Chen finished the last exam of all subjects and walked out of the classroom, wrapped his scarf tightly and stood shivering in front of the teaching building, and sent a message to Tang Xiaozheng as usual, "I'll wait for you under the third crooked-neck tree at the gate of the Second Teaching, come quickly, I'll freeze to death later."

As soon as the message bubble picked out the input box, he was threatened by a strong shoulder and turned around. Seeing Tang Xiaozheng's frowning and stiff expression, "Let's go."

The beam of light from the high hanging street lamp hit his face, hiding a lot of sharp and wanton sharpness. Tang Xiaozheng's brows, tails and eyelashes were covered with frost, and it looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Ah, don't wait for Duan Yuan to come out?" Chen Chen reached down and touched his hand, and with the cover of the hem of the scarf, like so many times, "Why did today end so early?"

Before he could answer, he had already noticed the abnormality, because the cold hand was tightly clutching himself, rubbing the crescent-shaped indentation in the thenar that was made by his nails when he was pinching the pen, like, blatantly some hint.

"No need to wait." Tang Xiaozheng turned his eyes to look at him, with a white mist overflowing from his lips, "I told him."

"Say..." Chen Chen heard his heartbeat speeding up, one second, one second, one second... "What?"

Tang Xiaozheng didn't answer, and led him forward, wrapping Chen Chen's cold and stiff knuckles with his generous palm from beginning to end, walking through the bright curtains one after another in the dense night.

"Chenchen." When the two walked under the butterfly-shaped moon bridge, Tang Xiaozheng said, "Sorry."

He didn't have anything to say, and stopped there abruptly. Chen Chen blinked, and suddenly let out a very quick breath, which sounded like he couldn't hold back his laughter.

The sudden tenderness was just to make up for the loss after being rejected?

The crowd after the exam gradually approached, Tang Xiaozheng stopped, and led Chen Chen to a deeper path.

This was originally the famous lover slope of Shuosan University, but it is a pity that in such a cold weather, even the most loving couple may stand here and suffer.

Now it is desolate and deserted.

"For making you wait so long, for making you suffer so much, and for making you pay so much for me, for a person like me... I'm sorry."

When Chen Chen felt that he was about to cry, Tang Xiaozheng finally took up the preface with a big breath,

"But I'm such a person. I don't have the courage to do things I don't understand... I'm afraid that your liking is just a whim. I'm afraid that even if you like a man, it may not be me. I'm afraid that you just feel lonely. Once someone comes If I look for it, I don’t even look back and give up, I walk away..."

"Afraid of the fart, it's all my fault, why don't you doubt yourself?" Chen Chen wiped his eyes, a little choked up.

"There are." Tang Xiaozheng held his face, brushed his thumbs over the corners of his eyes, confirmed that it was still dry, and wrapped his scarf tightly again, "I'm afraid that dirty possession and jealousy will make your life hard, I'm afraid I don't have the ability or hard work enough to keep you from being more restrained than when I was alone, and I'm even more afraid that I am boring and mean, and I can't make you happy..."

"But when I realize that the only sure thing is what I'm sure I can do, I can't control other miscellaneous concerns."

"Did I say that? There is only one thing I can be sure of, I will always be yours."

"Try it." Tang Xiaozheng put the hand exposed to the cold wind into his cuff, and pressed it against his skin. He collected himself, because the analysis that followed was not an easy-to-disclose voice, "We Let's try together, if you can't stand me one day, I'll let you go."

The bowed silhouette blocked all of Chen Chen's answers, and the subtle breath sounds and the occasional moan of one or two syllables dissipated between the rolling lips and tongue.

The icy cold wind that day had the aura of being frozen thousands of miles away. Like a sharp blade, it brushed against the two embracing figures, bringing with it erratic ice crystals one by one.

"Snowing."

The streets blocked by heavy snow, no one knows, a lonely and growing soul hit by a heavy rainstorm and hailstone, with courage and determination to turn into a flame, whether it is ice rain or strong wind, as long as it is not extinguished, we must do our best to protect another person.
