Opposite shore

Chapter 3

It was rare for Chen An not to sleep in on Saturdays. He got up and ironed Zhou Xuxing's clothes from head to toe, hung them up and admired them contentedly for a while, and then sent Zhou Xuxing a message saying that they could be delivered to him.

After receiving the other party's reply, Chen An knocked on the door opposite. Zhou Xuxing probably came back from a morning run and took a shower. He was wearing dark blue pajamas and his hair was still half wet.

Seeing Chen An, he took the clothes, let him into the room, and pointed to the dining table, "I just bought breakfast, let's see what you want to eat, I'll blow my head first."

Then he raised his clothes and signaled to him, "Thanks for your hard work." Turning around and entering the bedroom, the hum of the hair dryer sounded in the room after a while.

Chen An obediently sat at the dining table, eating while waiting for Zhou Xuxing to change.

This feeling is very strange, blending into a place full of Zhou Xuxing's life always makes him feel very satisfied.

Zhou Xuxing's house is decorated in a simple style, and the interior is neat and tidy. Occasionally, it will be messy when he is busy with work, but it will be cleaned up quickly.

The area of ​​this house is larger than Chen An's. Compared with Chen An's one-bedroom, Zhou Xuxing's has an extra guest bedroom and study room, and the kitchen is also more spacious. The balcony is connected to the living room with a transparent layer in between. With sliding doors, the lighting is very good. Most of the living room is bright on sunny days. It is Chen An's favorite type of apartment.

So he will try to move to another place before other people live in.

The door of the master bedroom rang, and Zhou Xuxing came out of the room, "I haven't worn formal clothes for a long time, isn't it a bit strange?" He looked at Chen An while adjusting his cuffs, trying to ask for his opinion.

Chen An's heart beat wildly the moment his eyes met Zhou Xuxing.He thought about how Zhou Xuxing would look in this suit all night, but he still couldn't resist the impact of the scene in front of him.

Zhou Xuxing simply pulled his forehead hair back, revealing a smooth forehead and a clean and handsome face. The top button of the white shirt was loose, which set off his superior jaw line and prominent Adam's apple. It is not difficult to see the broad right-angled shoulders and tight waistline in the silhouette, and the tall and long legs support the temperament that should be worn in a suit.

Zhou Xuxing scrutinized his appearance in front of the mirror, and asked Chen An while pulling his shirt collar, "Do I still need a tie?"

Chen An came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and answered irrelevantly, "Very handsome."

Zhou Xuxing smiled, thinking that what Chen An meant was fine, "I also think wearing a tie is a bit too serious." He took off his suit jacket and walked towards the bedroom, "That's how I wore it at noon, this time it should be Formal enough."

After Chen An finished his breakfast, he helped Zhou Xuxing wash the dishes, greeted him and went home.

After returning home, Chen An felt sad belatedly. He must not be the only one who can be moved by Zhou Xuxing, and the person who will meet Zhou Xuxing today is somewhat more qualified than him.

He opened the rental information sent by Chu Chenyi, and selected a few houses that looked more like in the photos, and planned to take a look at the houses when he had time.

Zhou Xuxing went to the appointment with his blind date as scheduled, and after a few pleasantries in a step-by-step manner, he solemnly and frankly stated that he was actually not ready for marriage, and he also apologized for it.After he went home last night, he thought about it for a long time. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was very inappropriate to develop a relationship with others with an attitude of fulfilling his life goals.

Unexpectedly, instead of feeling offended, the other party opened up and complained to him as if he had found someone of the same kind.

"I was really pushed too hard by my family," Zhao Jing said, "I used all kinds of reasons to prevaricate the people I was in love with before. They were not stable enough, good-looking enough, and didn't care about people," she said. After taking a sip of the fruit juice, the movements of picking up vegetables became casual, "I just ran into you in the end. I couldn't find anything wrong with the meal last time, but I was so worried."

It was the first time for Zhou Xuxing to hear such a strange compliment, he couldn't help laughing, and said "thank you" in a low voice, Zhao Jing waved her hand, and continued, "I finally made up a topic for my mother that has nothing in common, she Say you don’t talk much, how can we have a common topic, let me meet you again. I was desperate at first, but I feel relieved after hearing you say that.” After finishing speaking, he quickly tied up his long hair and used a spoon He scooped up a bowl full of fish soup, "I'll take it as a good meal."

Zhou Xuxing was amused, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed a lot, "Are you not planning to get married?"

"Not at all," Zhao Jing shook her head, "I really like living alone, except my mother thinks it's bad, everything else is fine."

So Zhou Xuxing and Zhao Jing successfully reached a consensus on the blind date. Zhou Xuxing promised that Zhao Jing could let her declare to her family that she was still dating when necessary. The tool man in the book, the date between the two came to an end.

On weekends, Zhou Xuxing's old friend Yang Juan from university invited him to play together. After the two came out of the basketball court, Yang Jun had a whim and asked Zhou Xuxing if there was any bar he would recommend.

Zhou Xuxing thought about it, casually mentioned the name of the bar that Chen An went to last time, and asked Yang Jun if he had heard of it.After hearing this, Yang Jun's expression suddenly became very strange, and he began to look at him with probing eyes.

"There's something wrong with you," Zhou Xuxing panicked under his stare, "What do you mean?"

Yang Jun didn't answer him directly, but asked, "Do you often go to this store?"

Zhou Xuxing was a little annoyed, "I haven't been there, but I heard Chen An once said that if you fart, let it go."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he revealed the original suddenness, "Then I understand," seeing that Zhou Xuxing was about to make a move, he explained, "It must be that shop, it's a gay bar."

Zhou Xuxing didn't react for a while, he frowned and looked at Yang Jun for a while, as if judging the authenticity of his words, seeing Yang Jun's determined expression, he fell into deep thought.

"You mean, Chen An is gay?"

Before Yang Juan could speak, he denied it himself, "Not necessarily all the people who go to that store are gay, what if he doesn't know?"

"That's why I asked you if you go there often." Yang Juan was speechless, "Do you think Chen An goes there often?"

Zhou Xuxing didn't speak, but Yang Jun could see the answer from his expression.He felt that as a well-informed person, he had an obligation to comfort the ignorant straight boyfriend in front of him, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "This situation is still very common now, don't be too surprised, After all, homosexuality is not…”

"That's why Chen An didn't tell me who he likes?" Zhou Xuxing said this unexpectedly.

"Huh?" Yang Jun expressed doubts.

"So Chen An didn't tell me who he likes, not because there is a gap between me, but because he likes a man?" Zhou Xuxing understood instantly.

Yang Juan looked at him like a fool, "After a long time, this is what you care about?"

Zhou Xuxing glanced at him, "Is there a problem?"

Yang Jun nodded, "Indeed, it's not surprising that Chen An is gay."

No matter how awkward Zhou Xuxing heard these words, he subconsciously began to defend himself, "I don't like you..."

"That's not what I mean," Yang Jun explained, "I mean that Chen An is gay. In fact, someone said it when he was in school."

Zhou Xuxing was full of doubts again, "Where did you hear about this? Why hasn't anyone told me?"

Yang Juan looked familiar, "Maybe it's because you don't want to be beaten?"

He directly ignored Zhou Xuxing's cold eyes, with a very serious expression, "Do you remember that Chen An was followed after school every day for a while in high school?"

Of course Zhou Xuxing remembered.

That was the first time he went to see Chen An after he went to university. At that time, Chen An was just in high school, and he was waiting at the school gate when Chen An was studying for his evening self-study and was about to leave school. Under the streetlight, as soon as he saw Chen An coming out, he waved at him.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't notice him, but lowered his head and hurried towards home.Zhou Xuxing wanted to follow, but there were too many students at the school gate, and when he squeezed out, Chen An had already put some distance away from him.

Zhou Xuxing could only trot all the way, trying to catch up.But when Chen An felt that someone was following him, he also ran quickly. Seeing that the distance became farther again, and the person in front was about to turn into the intersection in front, Zhou Xuxing hurriedly shouted: "Chen An!"

Chen An paused, then stopped slowly, turned around with an unbelievable expression, Zhou Xuxing approached panting, and found that his forehead was covered with sweat, the hair on his forehead was sticking to his face, and his face was a little pale , the eye sockets are red.Walking closer to Zhou Xu, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Xuxing didn't answer, but raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, then looked at him seriously, and said in a frighteningly calm tone, "What happened."

Five minutes later, while eating the cold baked noodles Zhou Xuxing bought, Chen An honestly told the whole story.

Zhou Xuxing understood.In the past few days, there has always been a tall, fat boy wearing glasses who followed Chen An after self-study and school at night. At first, he stopped him from talking nonsense, and then he began to try to have physical contact with him. .

Chen An's parents divorced since he was a child, and he has always lived with his grandmother, so he didn't plan to tell his family when he encountered this kind of thing, and this person didn't have any substantive behavior. Being able to avoid him as soon as school is over, I want to let this matter stop there.

Zhou Xuxing was furious when he heard that, but he couldn't bear to blame Chen An, so he could only repeatedly tell him to tell himself if there was anything in the future, and then said that he would solve the matter.

"How do you solve it?" Chen An was a little worried, "It's not a big deal, don't conflict with this kind of person, he doesn't know what he will do."

"If you really do anything, you have to let the police uncle teach him to be a man." Zhou Xuxing ate the skewers calmly, his tone was very firm, "No matter whether it is a big deal or not, I can't let you have trouble."

Later, Zhou Xuxing called Yang Jun to stop the person who was following Chen An and warned him, saying that if there was another time, the consequences would not be so simple.

"Do you remember what that person said at that time?" Yang Jun asked Zhou Xuxing.

Zhou Xuxing thought for a long time, but couldn't find any relevant memories, "How can what he said be credible."

"He didn't seem very flustered at the time, and he didn't seem angry," Yang Jun said. "He said he just thought Chen An was good-looking and wanted to make friends." Yang Jun glanced at Zhou Xuxing's reaction, "and said that if Chen An If you know that Chen An has a boyfriend, you won't follow him."

Zhou Xuxing found it absurd and miraculous after hearing it. Yang Jun's logic was full of loopholes, but he actually understood and subconsciously approved of this guess.

The author has something to say: After knowing and knowing, Zhou Xuxing: Boyfriend?I? ? ?
