Opposite shore

Chapter 4

Chen An was very efficient. He went to see a few houses on the weekend, and had a general understanding of each house he was interested in before. Then he asked Chu Chenyi to have dinner, and wanted to discuss with him which house to choose.

Chu Chen also sat across from Chen An, resting his head on his hands, listening to him talk about a lot of rental information and difficult choices, and after giving his own evaluation, he said something irrelevant.

"You are really serious about everything you do."

Chen An smiled, "If you want a satisfactory result, how can you not be serious."

"Will liking Zhou Xuxing have a satisfactory result?"

Chu Chenyi's question made Chen An's smile freeze on his face, and he lowered his head slightly as if to hide his emotions.But Chu Chen was not moved by this, and still looked at him seriously, as if Chen An would not stop until he gave an answer.

"You started again," Chen An said helplessly, "You persuade me every time, and you are not tired."

"I see that you are more tired," Chu Chen also spoke bluntly, "I have liked him for so long and moved to the opposite door because of him, and now he is on a blind date and moved away because of him."

"Haven't you thought about letting him know?"

Of course he thought about it.Chu Chenyi's proposal was very exciting, and he wanted to know Zhou Xuxing's reaction more than anyone else.

Or he didn't care about Zhou Xuxing's reaction at all, but just showed him the sincere and heavy emotions that he had hidden for many years without reservation.

You see, I have loved you for so long with such concentration and determination.

"Since we are going to move away, it's not impossible to let him know about it." Chu Chen also said.

"Chen An, you have to give yourself an explanation."

Chen An understood Chu Chenyi's good intentions, he hoped that he would end this relationship from beginning to end and start again.So maybe it's not a suggestion that can't be implemented.

Maybe on the day when he really wants to move out, he can talk to Zhou Xuxing.

Ever since Zhou Xuxing learned about Chen An's sexuality, he has been vacillating between pretending nothing happened and asking questions proactively. He was curious if he would tell him if he didn't ask Chen An, and hoped that he would have the opportunity to tell Chen An that it didn't matter. There is nothing to hide.

If possible, he still wants to see what kind of person Chen An likes, and maybe he can check for him.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw tall buildings in the distance supporting the afterglow of the orange-red sunset. Zhou Xuxing glanced at the time, got up, put on his coat, and went out with the car keys.

Zhou Xuyin returned to China today, he should go to the airport to pick him up.

His sister, who is three years older than him, went to study abroad and returned to China today. His parents said a week ago that your sister is coming back. Don’t forget to pick it up. He believes that if he neglects, he will definitely get more than just a gift when he returns home. Beat up.

After waiting at the gate of the airport for a while, I saw a beautiful woman with luggage coming towards her. Zhou Xuyin had neat short hair, black sunglasses covered half of her face, and a khaki windbreaker made her look even more heroic.

He waved at the other party, "Sister, this way."

Zhou Xuyin approached Zhou Xuxing and handed him the luggage naturally, putting her arm on his shoulder, "I haven't seen my handsome brother for a long time."

Zhou Xuxing took the luggage and put it in the trunk, "How long will you stay this time?"

"A week," Zhou Xuyin watched as he put his luggage away and got into the co-pilot, "I wanted to go home directly, but my mother asked me to supervise the progress of your blind date."

Zhou Xuyin wrote schadenfreude on her face, "I won't observe secretly anymore, you can report it yourself so that I can explain to the organization."

Zhou Xuxing choked speechlessly, and said perfunctorily, "After two meals, I feel okay."

"It's like you didn't say it," Zhou Xuyin refused to buy it. "This is the same as what my mother told me. Can you tell me something I don't know?"

Seeing Zhou Xuxing scratching his head, Zhou Xuyin had no choice but to be persuasive, "Is there anyone you like?"

Zhou Xuxing shook his head, "It feels good, but I can't say I like it."

Zhou Xuyin chose the next best thing, "Is there anyone you want to know or understand?"

Zhou Xuxing shook his head again, "It seems that it doesn't matter if it continues or not."

"Then what do you like? What about your ideal type?"

"There is no specific requirement, just rely on feeling."

Zhou Xuyin couldn't help frowning and glanced at him, "Then you're single," she felt tired, "I'll go back and tell our mother that I don't need to find you a partner, but you can find a temple for you and forget about it. "

Zhou Xuxing expressed dissatisfaction, "Aren't you single too, why is no one urging you?"

"I broke up some time ago, okay?" Zhou Xuyin replied, "Compared with someone like you who has never been in a relationship after a job like yours, which one do you think makes parents more anxious?"

Zhou Xuxing had no choice but to say, "I'm quite satisfied with my current living conditions. Please advise our mother not to let me go on a blind date."

Zhou Xuyin laughed miserably at him, and promised him to help him convey it.Then I turned my head and looked out of the window, and happened to see a hot pot restaurant, and began to urge a hot pot meal.

Just as Zhou Xuxing agreed, Zhou Xuyin asked again, "By the way, do you and Xiao'an still live at the opposite door?"

Zhou Xuxing nodded, "Stop."

"Call him together," Zhou Xuyin suggested, "I haven't seen him for a long time, I'll ask him if he's free."

Both Zhou Xuxing's parents and Chen An's grandmother are teachers at the same university. Zhou Xuxing's siblings and Chen An's sister and brother lived in the same family courtyard since childhood, and Zhou Xuxing's mother is Chen An's grandmother's student, so the relationship between the two families Always close.

Coupled with the fact that Chen An's parents are not at home all year round, Zhou Xuxing's family will always take care of the old and the young. Zhou Xuyin and Zhou Xuhang have also regarded Chen An as their younger brother since they were young, and they will always think of him when they have delicious food and fun. , even now that they are grown up and working, they still make time to get together.

Zhou Xuxing drove the car seemingly calmly, but actually listened to the call between Zhou Xuyin and Chen An with bated breath. Hearing that Chen An said he was free, he hurriedly asked Zhou Xuyin if he wanted to pick him up, but Chen An politely refused. Said that the journey from the airport to his company was not smooth.Zhou Xuyin had no choice but to tell Chen An the address, and the three met directly at the hot pot restaurant.

When the two of them arrived, Chen An was already waiting in the store. Zhou Xuyin smiled happily when she saw Chen An when she entered the door. She called his name and waved to him from the door. After walking quickly, she hugged him generously. Chen An Anshou patted Zhou Xuyin's back lightly, and called obediently, "Sister Xiaoyin."

Zhou Xuxing was a little apprehensive when he saw it, "Who is your younger brother, Chen An or me?" He pulled his sister to sit down, "You saw me not like this just now."

"I want Xiao'an to be my younger brother," Zhou Xuyin sighed, "After all, it's really not easy to be your sister."

She then recalled her childhood, saying that Zhou Xuxing was always mischievous, and the two siblings often turned against each other and fought each other. Every time they had Chen An stand in line and choose who to play with.

Chen An was well-behaved and cute when he was a child, and he was very popular with his siblings. He was always in a dilemma. Seeing that the two could not reconcile, he simply took turns standing in teams. This time he was with Zhou Xuxing, and next time he would have a bowl of water with Zhou Xuyin Ping, the two of them don't have much disagreement.

The old topics and the boiling hot pot gradually warmed up the conversation among the three of them. Zhou Xuyin picked up the meat slices from the pot and put them in Chen An's bowl, when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Xiao An 25 this year?"

Chen An nodded with something in his mouth.

Zhou Xuyin freely switched her probing expression, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Chen An subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xuxing, who was concentrating on putting ingredients into the pot, as if he didn't hear Zhou Xuyin's question at all.

"No." Chen An answered truthfully.

"You haven't either?" Zhou Xuyin folded her arms and leaned on the seat in doubt, then sat up again, and started to ask her soul again, "Then do you have someone you like?"

Before Chen An could react, he saw Zhou Xuxing suddenly smiled, looked up at him with a smile, and repeated Zhou Xuyin's words, "Is there any?"

Chen An's face was instantly reddened by the heat from the hot pot. He lowered his head and took a sip of the sour plum soup, hesitating at what to say.

When Zhou Xuyin asked the question, he wanted to say no, and then ambiguously fooled him, but he was not good at lying, and now he was confused by Zhou Xuxing's interjection, and now he denied it, but it would be futile to hide it.

Seeing his reaction, Zhou Xuyin smiled knowingly, "Isn't it great to have someone you like, what kind of person is he?" Then she asked understandingly, "Can this be said?"

Seeing Chen An's hesitation, Zhou Xuxing added, "I'm sorry to say it, forget it," and added pointingly, "Of course you can tell me anything, if you want."

Chen An looked up at him. Zhou Xuxing's pupils were dark and his eye sockets were a little deep. When he said this, he looked at Chen An calmly, with a kind of trustworthy peace of mind.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xuyin said leisurely, "Take me one."

The author has something to say: Zhou Xuxing, you are so damn charming.
