tempting

As the car passed by the stadium near the community, Su Tang offered to get off.

Cheng Zhiya watched him wave his hands at the group of young people playing football on the green field, and shouted a few times with his hands in the shape of a trumpet. A short-cut boy ran over quickly and called out to his cousin in a bright voice.

Su Tang first introduced to Cheng Zhiya that this was his cousin Xiao Xun, who was in the third year of high school in a nearby school.

After introducing each other, he slapped an envelope on Xiao Xun's hand, and said: "Hey, for this month's living expenses, my uncle is not free at work, so I asked me to bring it to you. I will reward you for the extra few hundred, remember Use it in the right way.”

"Oh, my money is either buying books or eating, so what can I use it for?" Xiao Xun responded repeatedly, wiping the sweat off his forehead and said, "Cousin, how about showing off? There is a buddy who was called by his girlfriend. Let’s go, the other one said he was going to a cram school, it’s boring to play without a full team. I told them you can play football, how about showing them off?”

Su Tang asked: "Then why don't you review?"

Xiao Xun laughed: "Cousin, he only needs to make it up because he is not good. I can still do well in the exam if I don't make up for it. You stayed at home for a year, and you can still pass the Huada test if you repeat it. I am related to you by blood. Cousin, I'm sure you can do it too."

Su Tang corrected: "Children, genetic determinism is unscientific."

Cheng Zhiya immediately grasped the point: "Why did you lie at home for a year?"

Su Tang's smile remained unchanged, as if he was talking about something unimportant: "It's nothing, I just took the opportunity to be lazy at home when I was sick."

After finishing speaking, he immediately changed the subject and raised his chin towards the football field not far away: "Painter Cheng, how about a game?"

……

Cheng Zhiya doesn't know how to play football, and his suit pants restrict his movements, so he will only be at a disadvantage against Su Tang.

During the game, Su Tang deliberately dribbled the ball to tease him, and his malicious smile clearly showed that he was helpless.Cheng Zhiya didn't mind if he played a few more pranks, so that he could appreciate it more. The sweat and hearty smile made the person in front of him even brighter.

He didn't want to look away.

It's a pity that his trousers were torn in less than ten minutes after the end of the game, so he had to retreat to the sidelines to look after the backpacks for the boys.

During the intermission, Su Tang sent Xiao Xun to buy food and drink for everyone, and he treated them.A group of boys let go of their stomachs and opened their mouths to report a lot, and Xiao Xun quit: "Are you the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie? You have to load so much in a truck."

Su Tang elbowed Xiao Xun on the waist, and then gave Cheng Zhiya a meaningful look: "You pig, let such a ready-made labor force not be used, let the big brother help you."

After finishing speaking, he threw the wallet directly into his arms, emphasizing: "There is cash in it, I treat you, but don't let that brother treat you."

Xiao Xun agreed, but he still hesitated. From the moment they met, he felt that Cheng Zhiya had a hostile look on his face, and he probably refused. He didn't expect him to readily agree without asking Cheng Zhiya.

The two walked side by side to a nearby supermarket, and Xiao Xun was surprised by Cheng Zhiya's conversation on the way.He asked, "Xiao Xun, does everyone call you that?"

Xiao Xun nodded, hesitated for a moment before asking: "Then what should I call you?"

"What do you usually call your cousin's friend, you can call me what you want, don't be cautious."

After getting permission, Xiao Xun was not so nervous, and grinned, "Then I'll call you Brother, and that's how I call Brother Zhou Shang."

Brother Su Tang is not as thick-skinned as him, Cheng Zhiya thought to himself.At least Su Tang knew him not long ago and gave him various titles, such as Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, and the great painter Cheng.Su Tang had only been out of his sight for a few minutes before he started thinking about him again.

It's really...not even for a minute to make him feel at peace.

Cheng Zhiya stole a little from Su Tang and learned how to ask people questions, all about Su Tang.Xiao Xun felt that the kindness shown by the other party was not so awkward, and gradually talked more.

When he walked to the supermarket to pick out something, Xiao Xun was still digging out his trouser pocket to find his wallet, Cheng Zhiya had already taken out his bank card and handed it to the cashier, saying, "Don't look for it, I'll give it to you."

"No, my cousin said that he was a treat, so I can't let you pay for it." Xiao Xun refused to follow, and stopped the cashier from swiping his card.

Seeing that he was so active, Cheng Zhiya didn't argue with him any more. Seeing that he took out Su Tang's wallet, he took out two one hundred pieces from it and handed them over.

Cheng Zhiya didn't have a penchant for prying into other people's privacy, he just casually glanced at Su Tang's open wallet.

With just one glance, he froze in place as if he had been enchanted.

Xiao Xun called brother a few times before he looked away in a panic and stuffed all the drinks into the plastic bag.

Along the way, he was restless, as if he was separated in another vacuum world, and Xiao Xun didn't listen to what he said.

Black cowhide wallet, the appearance looks the same as other wallets, a napkin wrapped in transparent plastic paper is stuffed in the interlayer, on it is a miniature portrait of a girl with long hair, a blue signature pen, the ink is a little blurred but the overall Well kept.

Along with the small portrait, there is a pull-tab of a soda can.

Cheng Zhiya didn't have time to look at it carefully, but he knew who signed and who signed the portrait, and he also remembered what was engraved on the tab of the can.

In fact, he had long forgotten about these little things and the related experience, because during those days Shen Ling always occupied his heart fully.Until now, those memories of being pushed into the corner gradually came back.

As for Su Tang, he hid it carefully, so naturally he always remembered it.

"Yes, I will remember what I should remember."

As Su Tang said, Cheng Zhiya's birthday and habits are all things he thinks he should remember.

Then he said that he had a crush on a friend for a long time, but that person had someone else in his heart, so he could only wait.

He was not even willing to use his love to disturb the other party.

Cheng Zhiya once thought he understood Su Tang, he was cheerful and loved to laugh, he was rumored to be very good at playing and had dumped many people.But those are just the side that Su Tang is willing to let everyone see, the more profound things are stuffed in his heart, hidden in the wallet interlayer, and in every imperceptible detail.

Expressions can deceive people's eyes, rumors can influence people's judgment, but everything about love can always be traced.

A word, a look, and the company of countless nights... So many clues, but Cheng Zhiya just turned a blind eye.

What kind of mood did he have to accompany Cheng Zhiya, uttering frivolous words but hiding true love in his heart?Behind those seemingly inadvertent invitations to share a bath or sleep together, what kind of expectations and temptations are there?How hard is it to pretend that you don't love or care?

……

Cheng Zhiya didn't dare to think about it, the stamina of knowing the secret was too strong, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Eden was right, the person Su Tang had a crush on was indeed stupid and ignorant.

Cheng Zhiya exhaled for a long time, unable to calm down his heart no matter what.

I can't calm down anymore.

*

Not long after going back, a game was over.

After the game, the boys surrounded Su Tang to talk, and Xiao Xun put Su Tang's shoulder in a very embarrassing way: "This is my cousin. He used to be the captain of our school team and won the championship. You should learn from it."

Su Tang put his shoulders on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Come on, you'll get it if you brag about it. No matter how big the bull is, you'll blow it to death. Hurry up and eat and drink, and then go home."

The boys crowded around the snacks and drinks they bought separately, and turned around and dispersed noisily.Xiao Xun got on the bus and asked Su Tang to go back to his grandmother's house when he was parting.Su Tang waved his hand and told him to prepare well for the college entrance examination next year.

Cheng Zhiya walked back with Su Tang, watching him open a can of Coke with one hand, and put the tab of the can into his pocket.The string in my heart tightened for a moment, and the surface was still very nonchalant: "When did you start to like collecting can zippers?"

Su Tang didn't seem to be flustered or surprised as expected, he just stared at him for a few seconds and smiled: "Guess."

Knowing that he would not answer properly, Cheng Zhiya didn't take the initiative to say anything.Along the way, Su Tang took the initiative to find topics and he answered them. This is how they get along most of the time, more or less Su Tang did it on purpose.

Cheng Zhiya's childhood ended early. When the children next door were still playing in the sand, he lived a boring life of drawing and drawing every day except eating, drinking and sleeping.He is willing to do this, but because of this, he has grown into a stuffy character who doesn't love and can't speak, and his rich and warm emotions are all hidden under the iceberg-like appearance.Anyone who has seen his paintings, it is difficult to associate such an emotional and imaginative style with him.

After all, when you get along with him, you have to endure a long silence, which is often embarrassing for outsiders, and he will faintly feel unnatural.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's just that he doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't want to force himself to learn to become a social master.

Later, he gave up any possibility of becoming friendly, accepted this unnaturalness calmly, and became the unapproachable Gaolinghua in the eyes of others.

Su Tang is a full-time reporter on art and literature. Because of his working relationship, he can get in touch with all kinds of people, especially those artists with eccentric tempers. feel.

When you stay with him, you don't have to be shy about the upcoming gaps in the conversation, because the topics he brings up are often Cheng Zhiya's favorite, and his listening always seems so attentive.The tolerant and trusting conversation atmosphere made him feel that both expression and silence were allowed and encouraged.

Cheng Zhiya unconsciously talked too much in front of him, and was also influenced by him subtly, the atmosphere of communicating with others was not so low.What he got from Su Tang was far more than he imagined, and he couldn't give Su Tang anything.

So, what exactly is the great benevolent Su Tang planning?

If going to bed with him is for a moment of physical pleasure, then remember those details and habits that even Cheng Zhiya himself doesn't care about, and he has been so kindly accommodating, what is it for?

He is a layman, he has expectations after paying, without exception, the only difference is the depth of hiding and how much he wants.

Cheng Zhiya didn't realize this until just now.

It's really stupid, downright stupid, whether it's Su Tang who loves silently, or him who doesn't know anything about it.
