Chapter 14 Complex

It was almost dawn when Xiao Guo returned to Teng Cuo's place, and the apartment was very quiet.Xiao Guo turned on the light, and found a pair of shoes that he didn't have when he left, and they were casually taken off at the entrance.

Teng Cuo fell asleep on the sofa, so he turned off the overhead light, leaving only the floor lamp in the corner.

Teng wrong shoes at the door, which means that Teng wrong went out that night.Xiao Guo walked towards the sofa, half of his heart felt cold.

Jue Ting was right. According to Lu Haoyang and the female shop assistant's description of the masked killer's appearance, except for gender, the rest of Teng Cuo was completely consistent, and his own appearance could be completely confused with the real one in the chaos and haste at that time.

The light spread out gently and smoothly, Teng Cuo closed his eyes and curled up his legs, looking very harmless.He had already taken a shower, and his hair was still a little wet, hanging from the collar of his loose pajamas, rubbing against the pale, watery skin underneath.

Xiao Guo walked over and sat on the edge of the sofa.He stretched out his hand and stopped at a place where he could almost touch the side of Teng Cuo's face.

The dark night is like a wound of memory. Looking back after knowing the ending, the short-lived sweetness and pure love in youth are just the last carnival before everything collapses.As Teng Cuo said, ten years later, both he and Xiao Guo have changed. Xiao Guo's background was handed over the night the two reunited at Maoyan, but Teng Cuo didn't say anything. Xiao Guo didn't know where he went, what he did, why he did it.

His mind was in a mess, and his bent fingers had already touched the depression under Teng Cuo's cheekbones because of his thinness.Teng Cuo opened his eyes instantly, and grabbed Xiao Guo's wrist.

"Xiao Zhuo?" Xiao Guo was taken aback, he reluctantly followed Teng Cuo's vigilant and sharp gaze, and whispered: "Sorry, I woke you up."

Teng Cuo let go of his hand, his face and body relaxed for a moment, and then tensed up again. He wanted to relax, but his limbs were trembling.Xiao Guo stretched out his hand to shake his slightly hot palm, but he quickly shook it away.

Xiao Guo was stunned for a moment, and said, "Go back to sleep."

Teng Cuo was buzzing in his head from the stress reaction just now, but he still laughed, looking a little ambiguous in the dim living room.

Then he opened his arms towards Xiao Guo, and said in a low voice, "Hold me over."

Xiao Guo slowly leaned over, let Teng Cuo hang on his body, and carried him into the bedroom.Teng Cuo's body was very soft, he was lifted up by Xiao Guo like a child, the two of them stuck very close, unconsciously sniffing deeply at each other.Teng Cuo was soaked in the smell of alcohol on the man's body, and Xiao Guo's muscles were tense.

This kind of intimacy has crossed the line no matter how you look at it, but neither of them said anything.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Xiao Guo put Teng Cuo on the bed lightly, he glanced at the head of the bed, today's medicine is gone.He lifted the quilt and let Teng Cuo turn over and lie down.

"No," Teng Cuo said lazily, rubbing against the pillow, "I don't want to eat."

The city lights outside the window are beautiful, Xiao Guo drew the curtains and asked, "Are you hungry now?"

"Not hungry," Teng Cuo hugged the quilt, only showing the upper half of his face, "I ate the cake."

Xiao Guo turned his back to Teng Cuo, and slowly slid his finger down along the closed part of the curtain.Teng Cuo said in a tired voice behind him: "Have you had dinner? There is cake, it's on the table in the living room, I went out to buy it this afternoon."

Xiao Guo paused imperceptibly when he turned around, and then asked: "You just bought it this afternoon?"

Teng Cuo gave an "um", a little perfunctory.He didn't drink alcohol today, he took sleep-promoting medicine, just now he woke up suddenly because of Xiao Guo's touch, now as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, his two eyeballs kept jumping under his sore eyelids, and he had a headache It looks like it's about to crack.

Xiao Guo came over and squatted beside the bed, Teng Cuo narrowed his eyes to look at him in a daze, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Guo shook his head and said, "Let me know what you want to eat next time, and I'll help you buy it."

"Okay." Teng smiled wrongly, closed his eyes, and murmured something, but Xiao Guo didn't hear clearly.A little bit of moonlight leaked in from the gap between the curtains, he tilted his head slightly, and saw the cold sweat on Teng Cuo's forehead through the light.

"Xiao Zhuo?" He asked in a low voice, "Uncomfortable?"

People are more honest than usual when they are physically uncomfortable, at least in behavior.Teng Cuo gave a vague "hmm", arched towards Xiao Guo, and put his pale forehead close to Xiao Guo's palm.

No fever, Xiao Guo frowned, he realized it was because he woke up suddenly on the sofa before.No normal person would open their eyes immediately when awakened from a deep sleep, and grasp the person's wrist accurately.This is the reaction of combatants, although Xiao Guo is more willing to believe that it is because of the medicine Teng Cuo is using to treat mental illness.

The warmth of his palm was transmitted to Teng Cuo's forehead, and he used the other hand to brush away the broken hair covering Teng Cuo's side face. Teng Cuo's breathing gradually became lighter, as if he was about to fall asleep.Xiao Guo kept squatting without moving, Teng Cuo hugged his hand with both hands, and put it next to his face.Xiao Guo's hands are so big that they can almost cover Teng Cuo's entire face.

"Brother Xiao..." Teng staggered and said very vaguely, "Aren't you going?"

The thin moonlight fell on his chin, extending along the beautiful and conspicuous jaw line.Xiao Guo looked at Teng Cuo and said, "Don't go."

"You... work..." Teng Cuo was half awake from the dream under the effect of sleeping pills, and said, "I came back too late..."

Xiao Guo held his face, was silent for a long time, and said: "I will come back sooner."

Teng Cuo didn't respond, and Xiao Guo slowly stood up when Teng Cuo obviously lost his strength because of falling asleep.He closed the bedroom door and found a half-eaten cake on the coffee table in the living room.

The cake bag is on the side, and the receipts inside are still there.Xiao Guo looked carefully, and it was indeed this evening that Teng Cuo paid in cash, and the specific ticketing time was about half an hour after Fan Dayuan's accident.This cake shop is also in the commercial district, not far from here, but it is not that commercial street.

Xiao Guo took a photo of the bill and sent it to Jue Ting, who replied almost immediately, first saying he had received it, and then continuing to keep in touch.The person who shot Fan Dayuan will continue to investigate, but the biggest suspect at present does not include Teng Cuo.

Xiao Guo deleted all the information records of him and Jue Ting, closed his eyes tiredly, and fell asleep on the sofa.

***

Xiao Guo has been living here in Teng Cuo, Teng Cuo's bedroom is very big, with an extra bed in it, it looks like a hotel room now.In fact, Xiao Guo wanted to sleep on the sofa all the time, but Teng Cuo refused.

What Teng Cuo said that night, Xiao Guo really took it to heart, and Teng Cuo didn't know how he communicated with the bar. In short, he got off work until early in the morning at the latest.Sometimes Teng Cuo was still on the sofa staring in a daze at the TV with commercials playing in a loop, and Xiao Guo didn't go to bed until he came back.

Housework and cooking are naturally Xiao Guo's work, he is very neat in doing these things now, Teng Cuo said that he was forced by the down-and-out young master to live, Xiao Guo quite agrees.Teng Cuo looked at him nodding honestly, and couldn't help laughing.He was walking around the apartment in a black baggy shirt, his bare legs were slender and straight, and his skin was as white as fog.But now it's September, Xiao Guo will ask him to wear slippers.

As for the room on the second floor, the unusual door was always locked. Teng Cuo never went up, and Xiao Guo never asked.

Of course they are more than just friends now, what Xiao Guo said is that it is even more impossible for Teng Cuo to treat him as a brother or a servant.The ambiguity is indescribable, but the two of them tacitly don't pierce the window paper, don't talk about the past and don't ask about the future. It's a good sentence. When the fig leaf is blown, it's a storm. They seem to get along again, and at the same time, to some extent Lean on each other and get addicted to it.

Teng Cuo started to go to work next week, and Xiao Guo woke him up on the morning of the weekend.

He was still squatting on the edge of the bed, looking down at Teng Cuo's face slightly.He leaned down and said softly, "Xiao Zhuo, get up."

It took him a little effort to wake up this person who slept until the afternoon every day. When Teng Cuo just woke up, his expression always revealed some fragility, and he called Xiao Guo in a bewildered manner.

"Get up," Xiao Guo said, "I'm going to work the day after tomorrow, so I have to change my schedule and get up early."

His hand was propped on the side of Teng Cuo's pillow, Teng Cuo moved his face closer, Xiao Guo followed him instinctively, letting him rub his palm.

Teng Cuo half-closed his eyes and said, "It's so rough."

"En." Xiao Guo put his hand down, rested it on his knee, thought for a while and put it down again.He said, "Get up and have breakfast."

Only the bottom three buttons of Teng Cuo's pajamas were buttoned, and he kicked off the quilt, exposing almost everything from his chin to his abdomen to Xiao Guo's eyes.He yawned and stretched his arms, his long hair was scattered around his body, his lips parted slightly as if subconsciously, with the tip of his pink tongue poking out, his every expression was full of evil spirit.

Xiao Guo's cheeks were hot, his ears were red, he couldn't see it himself.But Teng Cuo could see it clearly, he turned over, propped his arms, his gaze clearly followed Xiao Guo's chest.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't need to say anything, his charming eyes became hot when he looked at him.His gaze was already comparable to stroking, Xiao Guo knew where he was staring, there was nothing between the two of them, his original calmness and self-restraint had already given way to a slight trembling between tenderness and itch.

This was a feeling he hadn't had in ten years, not because he hadn't met someone who was interested in him, but because the other party was not the person in front of him who was lying on the bed and smiling at him with raised eyebrows.

Xiao Guo really didn't know what to say or what to do at this moment, he squatted on the spot motionless.Teng Cuo started to laugh, touched the stubble he hadn't had time to shave this morning, lifted the quilt and got up.

When eating breakfast, Teng Cuo tried his best to add sugar to the soy milk, Xiao Guo calmly took the jar of sugar to the other side of the table, even if he only ate sweet ones.Teng Cuo sat across the table and stared at his movements, obviously unwilling, and slowly licked away the soy milk on his lips.

After dinner, it was Xiao Guo who washed the dishes as usual. When he came out, the incident of Fan Dayuan two days ago was being shown on TV. Of course, the names and faces of the people were edited.Xiao Guo looked at Teng Cuo, trying to find clues with complicated emotions, but Teng Cuo kept watching TV with his legs crossed, without any change in expression.

He blinked slowly, and there was a sense of satisfaction in his mind, but it was followed by a bigger and empty desire, and a childish and clear male voice kept saying "continue" and "not enough" in his ear.He knew that he was moving forward, but the souls of the undead were not comforted. Even if the perpetrators fell one by one, with blood flowing all over the place, it would not be able to replace anyone he lost.

When Xiao Guo walked over and sat beside him, Teng smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, let's go to the dessert shop in the afternoon."

Xiao Guo heard these things wrongly, the two of them ordered a lot of cakes and two cups of coffee in the store.Xiao Guo only drank coffee, and did not touch the cake.

Teng took a wrong look at him, and didn't say you would eat it too.

Xiao Guo doesn't eat sweets very much, he doesn't like this kind of taste, he has been like this since high school, he remembers it.

On Saturday afternoon, there were many couples in the store. Teng Cuo and Xiao Guo sat together, it was hard not to let people think so.Not to mention the stares of the people in the store, they were seated by the window, and many passers-by on the street outside also looked sideways at Teng, and both of them felt it.

Xiao Guo was able to generously admit to his colleagues at the bar that night that he had thoughts about Teng Cuo, but when he was in front of Teng Cuo, he became unwilling to make progress.He has a mission on his back, mixed with the lingering of his childhood love and the distress and guilt of what happened to Teng Cuo, making him unable to tell what he feels in his heart.But others stared at Teng Cuo and saw that he was uncomfortable, and his heart was sore, and he knew this.

Not far from them, there was a table with three men and two women, and the four of them had been looking at this for a long time.They originally thought that Teng Cuo and Xiao Guo were a couple, and they felt like a yin and yang match, but after the two sat down, they didn't talk much, and Xiao Guo just raised a cup of coffee to drink, so they were not sure again.

Finally, a boy ordered a cake and delivered it. He stood by Teng Cuo's table, said sorry, and said hello to Teng Cuo.

The boy is not very old, he looks like a student at first glance, and his voice is quite low.Teng Cuo raised his head with a spoon in his mouth, and when he looked over, his eyelashes lifted, revealing the extremely attractive eyes underneath, as if in slow motion.It's really incredible to see it from such a close distance. The boy opened his mouth halfway, and his face turned red up to the base of his neck.

When Teng mistakenly took the spoon out of his mouth, the corners of his mouth were covered with cream. It is estimated that as long as it is an adult man or woman, something should not be thought of in the mind of this scene. The boy's hand shaking the cake.Teng Cuo didn't speak, just looked up at him.

"You, you..." The boy pointed to his mouth, trying to remind Teng Cuo that there was cream at the corner of his mouth, but he was in a hurry and finally gave up. He asked, "I want to treat you to a cake, okay?"

Teng Cuo raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Guo, and said to the boy, "Brother, I'm a boy."

Unexpectedly, the boy pursed his lips and laughed, saying, "I know."

Xiao Guo was holding a coffee cup on the opposite side, half covering his face, with the mouth of the cup resting on his mouth, but he didn't drink much at all.He waited for Teng wrong to answer, feeling very uneasy.

Then he looked at Teng Cuo and smiled at the boy, and said, "That's good."

Xiao Guo lowered his eyes, the boy was happy, pushed the cake towards Teng Cuo, and said: "Red velvet, I don't think you have this flavor on your table, try it if you like it."

Teng Cuo stretched out his hand, he really knew it, the fingertips holding the edge of the plate were only a few centimeters away from the boy's, which was very suggestive.He picked up the spoon, but there was a sudden bang on the other side of the table, it was Xiao Guo who put down the cup with a heavy movement.

Then he reached out and pressed the other side of the cake plate, saying, "Xiao Zhuo, don't eat what strangers give you."
