Opposite shore

Chapter 1

It was already dark when Chen An came out of the company after working overtime. He originally planned to have dinner casually, but when he was taking the elevator downstairs, he received a call from Chu Chenyi, asking if he had time to go to the bar. Considering that tomorrow is the weekend, I agreed.

Chu Chen was also Chen An's college classmate, and the first person who knew about his sexual orientation. As a fellow who had already accepted his sexual orientation frankly, Chu Chen also gave Chen An a lot of help at that time.The two were still good friends after graduation. When Chu Chen also planned to start a business and open a bar after graduation, Chen An did not hesitate to take out a sum of money when he had just started working, saying that it was his life. first investment.

After Chen An arrived, he saw Chu Chen also mixing drinks at the bar, and when he approached, he raised his head and smiled at him, "You are here."

Chen An noticed that Chu Chen was also formally wearing a white fancy front long-sleeved shirt and a black suit vest which was rare. The waist behind the vest outlined a perfect waistline. Skillful and neat, the overall picture is very ornamental.

"What day is it today, let Boss Chu mix the drinks himself?" Chen An conveniently pulled a chair and sat at the bar.

"There's a new band in the bar, and it's the first performance today, so more people will come." Chu Chen also put the mixed wine in front of him, "Take this opportunity to do a wave of publicity, and you need a good-looking person like you to support the scene .”

Chen An shook his head with a smile, and picked up Margaret at hand, "It seems that I am here to be a tool for you." After taking a sip of his wine, he turned his head and asked Chu Chenyi, "What I told you last time How about the rental house?"

Chu Chen also turned his head to look at him, "I asked for you, there are a few units close to your company, but the price-performance ratio is still far from the one you live in now, so wait if you're not in a hurry?"

He stopped what he was doing again, looked at Chen An probingly, and asked, "Isn't it good to live across the street from Zhou Xuxing? Why are you moving away all of a sudden?"

Chen An lowered his head and couldn't see his emotions. He took another sip of wine and smiled, "He's on a blind date recently."

Chu Chenyi was stunned for a moment, unable to realize the causal relationship, and then heard Chen An continue to say, "It's nothing, maybe I don't want to see him bring his girlfriend home."

Chu Chen also sighed in his heart, his friend has good looks and personality, but it's a pity that he fell into the hands of a straight man, and it lasted for several years, he seemed hopeless and unrepentant.

Zhou Xuxing is three years older than Chen An. The two have known each other for 20 years, and they are typical childhood sweethearts.From the very beginning when Chen An had a good feeling for him and tried to get rid of his good feelings for him, and then let himself indulge in it, he gradually realized a truth, that is, to give up liking Zhou Xuxing is more important than liking Zhou Xuxing himself. If it is more painful, just let it develop.

Zhou Xuxing is a straight man.This is not difficult to see from the girlfriends he made from junior high school to university.This was also the reason why Chen An planned to remain silent to the end.Even though Zhou Xuxing is single now, he has no self-confidence and has never thought of breaking Zhou Xuxing. Marrying a wife, having children and a harmonious family is the way he wants to go. As for whether Chen An will die alone or not, it has nothing to do with him.

The house that Chen An is renting now was recommended by Zhou Xuxing after he graduated. At that time, Zhou Xuxing lived in the opposite door of that house. Chen An happily moved there, and even secretly had the illusion of living with Zhou Xuxing.

It's not that Zhou Xuxing didn't invite him to live with him, but Chen An refused for various reasons. He knew that Zhou Xuxing invited him out of good intentions, but he couldn't be honest with Zhou Xuxing, and he couldn't guarantee that his years of relationship would last forever. He didn't show his feet when facing Zhou Xuxing, so even though he said "I do" a hundred times in his heart, he declined against his will.

But the distance from the opposite door is not too far. Even if they don't live together, the two of them communicate very frequently. Zhou Xuxing often calls Chen An home to drink beer and watch football games. Make an extra copy and send it over.

Chen An was drinking, thinking back to the time when he was neighbors with Zhou Xuxing, he felt like a poor ghost who suddenly picked up a passbook with sufficient savings. The news of recruiting can make him flee.

So when Zhou Xuxing accidentally mentioned the blind date arranged by his family, Chen An unexpectedly felt a sense of finality.His only solution was to quietly withdraw Zhou Xuxing from his daily life, so he immediately asked the knowledgeable Chu Chen to help him find a house, although he still hoped to stay longer.

When Chen An came to his senses, the third glass of wine had bottomed out. He didn't drink too much. At this moment, he faintly felt that his consciousness was a little fuzzy. The love song of the band made him a little bored. He wanted to go out for a breath of air. He just stood up and the phone rang It rang, and when he saw "Zhou Xuxing" on the phone screen, he smiled helplessly, and answered the phone while thinking about why it was you everywhere.

"Hello," the bar was very hot, Chen An's drunken voice was hoarse and dry, and he subconsciously coughed twice.

There was an obvious pause on the other end of the phone, followed by Zhou Xuxing's steady voice, "Aren't you home?"

Chen An looked at his watch and it was already 10:30. Zhou Xuxing called him at this time because he must have something to do, so he asked, "It's a bit late to play with friends, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Zhou Xuxing said, "I wanted to borrow your iron, but found that you were not here."

Chen An went out with his mobile phone, and the wind blowing on his face made him sober, "You can just enter the password directly, the iron should be on the left side of the TV cabinet, you can look for it." Chen An obviously felt that the wine he drank tonight A little over the top, causing him to speak a lot slower.

Zhou Xuxing didn't care to listen to what he said, but just asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Chen An was stunned for a moment, secretly marveling at Zhou Xuxing's judgment, whispered, "Drink a little", and asked him, "Do you still remember the password of my door?"

Zhou Xuxing didn't care about it, as if he wasn't the one who wanted to borrow something, "I won't go in, I'll take it when you come back."

Chen An said yes, and was just about to hang up when Zhou Xuxing asked, "When will your end end?" Before he could reply, the other party said in an irresistible tone, "Send me the address, I'll finish it." pick you up."
