Hidden Summer

11

Cao Liyu sat on the waiting seat of the noisy subway station, dazed.

He has always come home late lately, sometimes lying about working overtime, sometimes pretending to be called by his colleagues to sing, sometimes wandering the streets alone, or finding a place to have a quiet drink.Those golfers should be dissatisfied with being absent from playing for so many days without saying hello?Xiao Yu is so careful, he must have noticed that he was lying, but he is considerate and will take care of his feelings and leave himself room to breathe.As for Li Hang, Cao Liyu couldn't figure out what was going on in this guy's mind, but as smart as he was, he should also know that he was avoiding it, but he would never take the initiative to point it out.Thinking about it this way, his lies seemed meaningless, they were just building a protective shell of self-deception for himself.But he had to keep telling these childish lies, as if doing so would give him a ridiculous sense of security.

Because he really can't continue to live together like Li Hang, as if nothing happened!He also tried joking and bickering with Li Hang as usual, but every time he met the other's dark pupils, he would wilt, and those jokes that did not distinguish between each other and had no lower limit were knotted on the tip of his tongue.Gradually, he even felt uncomfortable looking at Xiao Yu. Every time Xiao Yu cast a worried look at him, he couldn't help finding various reasons to escape.

Today is another Friday, and Cao Liyu, who has already found all kinds of excuses, no longer knows what reason to find to report Xiao Yu's late return.While worrying, his footsteps brought him to the subway station as if he had his own consciousness.

Cao Liyu didn't realize that he had dialed Xu Zhiyuan's number unconsciously until the strange ringtone music came from his mobile phone.

By the way, I haven't met Xu Zhiyuan this week, so I just give him a call. That person hasn't fulfilled his promise to recommend bars to me!

After a long time, the phone was connected, and Xu Zhiyuan's deep, masculine voice came into his ears. The background was very quiet, and it was obvious that he was not outside.Cao Liyu suddenly felt that his phone call might be a bit abrupt. After all, looking back, the two of them were just nodding acquaintances.

"Uh...Xu Zhiyuan, I'm Cao Liyu, do you remember me?" Cao Liyu whispered, and because of the noisy crowd at the subway station, he had to cover the microphone with his other hand.

"Well, of course I remember. Your voice is a little different on the phone." Xu Zhiyuan's voice obviously didn't mind Cao Liyu's calling, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Ha, your voice sounds the same." Cao Liyu felt relieved, and the nerves that were a little tense before were relieved, "Are you still off work?"

"I'm off work, but..." Xu Zhiyuan chuckled, "I'm not in city B, I'm on a business trip in city S, and I'm at the hotel now."

"Huh? No wonder I haven't seen you for several days."

"Yeah, it's rare that you call me. Are you looking for a date with me?" Xu Zhiyuan's voice was obviously teasing.

"What, I'm bored by myself and want to find someone to have a drink with. You still owe me a good bar recommendation." Although he knew that the other party was joking, Cao Liyu still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, what a pity. I won't go back until tomorrow night. I'll see you next week."

"Oh, then you remember. I won't bother you any more."

"It's okay, I'm bored in the hotel myself, you are welcome to call and harass me at any time."

"Can you not continue to verbally vote for me?" Cao Liyu pretended to be angry.

"Hehe, okay, chatting with you unconsciously makes me relaxed and casual. Then can you find other friends to accompany you? Don't drink alone." Xu Zhiyuan looked down at the people on the road through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel. There was a lot of traffic, and a tentative light flashed in his eyes.

"It's okay, I'll go back early...Xu Zhiyuan, do you know Li Hang?" Cao Liyu made up his mind to ask this question.

"Li Hang...? The name sounds familiar but I don't have a deep impression on it. Maybe I know it or not. Who is it?"

"Then it's okay. It's a friend of mine. I heard him mention you and thought you knew each other."

"I don't have much impression, but if it's people in our circle, especially those in Kuflosen, there should be a lot of people who know me, right? After all, I seem to be relatively famous. But if it's your friend, I will I don’t know if I’ve seen him on other occasions.”

"Really...? That's okay, you can rest, I'm going back by subway."

"Okay, I'll contact you when I get back. Goodbye."

"Bye." Cao Liyu hung up the phone and stared at the phone screen until the lights dimmed.At this time, the subway roared into the station, and the subway station radio began to broadcast the direction of the train, and the crowded crowd began to flow.Cao Liyu didn't squeeze towards the subway, but turned around and walked towards the exit.

On the other end, Xu Zhiyuan was still staring at the night scene outside the window, with a playful smile on his lips.

Li Hang, that young man whose hair and eyes were so dark that people couldn't figure it out, he really didn't have a deep impression of him before. He only remembered that he and Liang Dong seemed to have a good relationship. Liang Dong admired him very much and planned to cooperate with him. Open a music bar.But just before his business trip, he had a face-to-face conversation with Kuflosen, how could he not remember?

The mystery of that young man immediately dissipated a lot when he said warning words to himself with a serious face, and that serious expression made him feel funny.

He said: "No matter under what circumstances you met or approached Cao Liyu, but that guy doesn't belong to our circle at all, and he is definitely not someone who can afford it. It doesn't matter if you are friends with him, but I would rather you Stay away from him, not everyone can stand your game. Also, I know you are serious about Liang Dong. Although you always stimulate him, you are also working hard to maintain a delicate balance. You have been entangled for so many years, and you don't want the hard-earned relationship to deteriorate, do you?"

Li Hang, this person has a taste similar to himself but completely different in essence, but he still hasn't shaken off the innocence of young people.It is admirable courage to speculate on the relationship between Liang Dong and himself without authorization, and use it as a bargaining chip.So how did I answer him?

"First, I didn't regard Cao Liyu as a target; second, I'm not interested in exposing others to harm others; third, regarding Liang Dong and me, you'd better keep the same attitude as everyone else .”

Xu Zhiyuan did not do anything contrary to what he said, but he did not promise to induce Cao Liyu to discover some facts by himself.This should be a lesson for those domineering young people.

Walking into Kuflorsen again, Cao Liyu felt that the air in his breath was exaggerated with an unusual fragrance because he had realized from the beginning that this was a world that was incompatible with him.

Maybe because today is Friday night, which marks the day off, the bar is obviously much more lively than when Cao Liyu broke in by mistake last time.The bewitching blues is no longer played on the stage, but a slow rocking song played by a DJ. All kinds of men in the bar are not willing to sit quietly anymore, and many people enter the dance floor to swing Body.

Cao Liyu tried his best to find the figure in his impression in the unpredictable lights, but it was in vain until his eyes were sore.Reluctantly, he went to the bar and ordered a glass of wine, and continued to search while drinking.

At this moment, the two tall men sitting beside him approached him, and the thinner one patted him on the shoulder and spoke up: "Handsome guy, are you alone? Or do you have a companion?"

Cao Liyu was taken aback for a while, and after a while he still said the truth: "I'm alone, but I'm here to find someone."

Another, stronger man laughed: "Who are you looking for? I don't know any regular customers of Kuflosen. But tell me first, you're not here to catch rape, right? I don't want to do such an unsightly thing." , who will come here not for a momentary pleasure?"

"No, no, I, I came to him for something..." Cao Liyu blushed in embarrassment.

"Yo, your face is blushing, handsome boy, you are so cute, you still feel very green~ Hehe, I can't find that person, just forget it, let's play with us? He plays his, you also play your own Don’t you just have it?” The strong man smiled and touched La Cao Liyu’s arm vaguely.

Cao Liyu was so startled that he jumped up from the booth, threw off the man's broad palm, his face was so red with shame and anger that he was about to drip blood, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "I didn't come to play! I Come to Jiang Yao——!"

"Looking for me?" The voice that was clearly a man in his memory but soft and seductive sounded from behind, and then Jiang Yao pushed the crowd away from the crowd while supporting a handsome man on the shoulder, and went to the bar to order a glass of wine. Only then turned to look at Cao Liyu.

"It's actually looking for Jiang Yao? Little handsome guy, why are you so desperate to be serious about Jiang Yao? This tragedy is second only to being spotted by Xu Zhiyuan~" The tall and thin man who came to strike up a conversation before sighed sympathetically.

"Get out! Don't spoil my reputation here, let alone compare me with that scumbag Xu Zhiyuan!" Jiang Yao raised the corners of his eyes and glared at the person who was speaking. The moist eye waves and pink eye corners filled with the heat of alcohol were better than Cao Liyu's impression She still has to be charming, "But... little brother, do I know you?"

"Ah... I... we talked last time, um, I'm Xu Zhiyuan's friend." Cao Liyu hesitated for a long time, so embarrassed that he forgot that this man seemed to dislike Xu Zhiyuan, but if he didn't mention Xu Zhiyuan, I'm afraid the other party Can't think of myself at all.

Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes, his face was a little gloomy, he looked at Cao Liyu for a long time before laughing: "Oh, it's you, I remember that we didn't have a very pleasant chat last time."

"Well, I'm sorry, I came to you rashly, indeed we don't know each other..." If there was a crack in the ground now, Cao Liyu would definitely slip through it without saying a word.

"What? Was it played by Xu Zhiyuan to find someone to comfort? Or was he trained to come here to hunt? I'm sorry, I'm not interested in either, thank you for thinking of me." Jiang Yao saw Cao Liyu was at a loss Embarrassed, he couldn't help but become more cynical.In fact, he didn't think Cao Liyu was like the kind of person he said, but he always knew that he had a bad personality.

"I'm not...why are you all talking about Xu Zhiyuan's fault? I probably understand that he may be a carefree person, but he is not bad in other things. He is still a good person at heart." Cao Liyu defended his shortcomings The problem happened again.

"Xu Zhiyuan is a nice guy? Is he a good guy? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life! Come on, I think you are also a fool who has been played around by him. I don't bother to talk to you. I hope you wake up and get rid of it as soon as possible." His claws!" As he spoke, Jiang Yao picked up the long glass handed over by the bartender, raised it to express his wishes, and turned around to go back into the crowd.

"Wait!" Cao Liyu hurriedly stepped forward to block Jiang Yao, "I'm sorry I didn't come to quarrel, I want to ask you... do you know Li Hang?"

"Li Hang?"

But Jiang Yao didn't make this sound alone. The two men who had failed to strike up a conversation and were sitting back in their booths, the handsome man behind Jiang Yao, and even the bartender all made a question.

"Why do you know Li Hang again?" Jiang Yao looked suspiciously at Cao Liyu.

"Li Hang is my friend!"

"This is strange. You are friends with Xu Zhiyuan and Li Hang. Don't you know that these two people are not related?"

"I am telling the truth!"

"I know Li Hang, so what? I've never heard him mention you. I only know Xiao Yu as his friend, and he only brought Xiao Yu here to meet everyone. Oh no, Xiao Yu is not counted. He's 'friend'."

"I...I want to know...is Li Hang the same as you?"

"What's the same? He's Li Hang and I'm Jiang Yao. What's the difference?"

At this time, the bartender on the side spoke: "Jiang Yao, is this kid straight? He wants to ask Li Hang if he is gay."

Jiang Yao blinked, then giggled, exuding amazing charm all over his body, but what he said was like a huge steel nail piercing Cao Liyu from head to toe, nailing him in place: "Li Hang and Xiao Yu is a couple, do you think he is gay?"

Cheerful songs were playing on the TV in the living room, and many unfinished meals on the table were carefully covered with vegetable covers.Xiao Yu looked up at the clock for the nth time. A two-and-a-half-hour movie had all the ending credits, but he didn't see any plot at all.

"Hang, should I call Li Yu?" Xiao Yu couldn't help asking Li Hang who was eating pudding beside him.

"It's only nine o'clock, and he's not a child, so he'll be annoyed by meddling too much, right? And hasn't he been home on time these few days?" Li Hang lowered his head to dig the pudding without raising his head.

"But he called back a few days ago to say something."

"Actually, it's his freedom to say it or not. Maybe he thinks he doesn't need to say it today."

"Hang, you two are so wrong! What happened between you and Liyu? It wasn't just a simple quarrel that night, right?"

"It's nothing, didn't I say it, it's okay, it will be fine after a while?"

"You said it would be fine in a few days, but it's been a week, how many words have you two said to each other? Why did Li Yu hide from you? Why did you even start to deliberately ignore Li Yu's abnormality? You clearly No less caring about Li Yu than me..." Xiao Yu endured for a week, and the accumulated uneasiness and sadness began to overflow uncontrollably.

"I was having a conflict with him about other things, but this is about him and me, can't you stop asking?" Li Hang was also terribly annoyed, threw the leftover pudding into the trash can, grabbed Grab your hair and look away.

"I didn't want to ask at first, but the three of us live together, how can you tell me to ignore this awkward atmosphere? The three of us finally got together, is there anything we can't discuss and resolve?"

"There are things that can't be resolved through discussion! Let me ask you, if Cao Liyu finds out about our relationship, he can't accept it and wants to leave, can you bear it?"

"What did you say... What do you want to say to Li Yu? Or have you already said it?" Xiao Yu's face instantly turned pale, like a completely bleached white paper, her brown pupils dimmed instantly, and her lips trembled when she spoke , "No, no, not yet, can't take risks, can't let Li Yu leave, the three of us want to be together..."

"Xiao Yu! Don't be naive! Even if the three of us live together now, how can we be together forever!" Li Hang grabbed Xiao Yu's shoulder and shook him, as if to wake him up from the dream he had woven. At the same time, because of Xiao Yu's almost collapsed expression, he felt a hole in his heart, and the wound was bleeding out.

"Don't talk about it, don't tell Li Yu, one day he will accept it..." Xiao Yu shook his head in a daze, struggling to push Li Hang away and shake his arm.

"Xiao Yu! Cao Liyu is different from us! No matter how much you like him, it doesn't matter! He will follow his path, find a woman to fall in love with, marry and have children, and the two of us are left to keep each other warm. In the end, the three of us will at most be each other. Don't interfere with each other and live in peace. Does your current persistence make any sense? Even my blind dedication is meaningless! I beg you, don't be so cruel to me, can you..." Li Hang grabbed Xiao Yu's shoulder more seriously The strength of the arm grabbed him so painfully that he cried out in pain before he recovered, and then pressed Xiao Yu tightly into his arms, the force was so strong that he wanted to crush the person in his arms and embed him in his arms. own chest.

Surrounded by Li Hang's firm embrace and warm heat, Xiao Yu gradually calmed down.He heard Li Hang's crying voice and unsteady and trembling breathing, and felt Li Hang's palms rubbing against his shoulders and neck for confirmation as if he was afraid of losing, his heart was filled with soreness, and his chest could not help but burst out It hurts.Li Hang, who has always been calm and unhurried, has become so fragile and helpless. It is all caused by his own greed and indecision. He has long known this problem of his own, and he has told himself to let go and hold on to the person in front of him, but his The heart just doesn't listen to rational words, but Cao Liyu's brilliant smile can't resist calling his name.

Since man already possesses the wisdom that surpasses all things in the world, why should he keep a heart that is not controlled by reason?Seeing that the heart deviates from the correct track drawn by reason and rushes recklessly into the fog full of dangers, is this a prank by God?

Xiao Yu knew that he had already been scarred all over by his useless paranoia, and now he cut scars on Li Hang's body again.His tears rolled down uncontrollably and silently, and he hugged Li Hang's broad and strong back vigorously.

"Hang, I'm sorry, I can't let go...but I love you..."

Xiao Yu's words behind were blocked by Li Hang's domineering throat. In the deep kiss that seemed to comfort each other, the two fell down on the sofa, stroking each other's body vigorously, seeking some ethereal sense of security.

"click"

The entanglement of their bodies stopped abruptly, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment. Both Xiao Yu and Li Hang saw the emotion called "fear" in each other's eyes.

There was no one in the entrance, but the opened door lightly hit the door frame, making a crisp and cold metal sound.

The author has something to say: For the past two days, I have been struggling with how Xiaoye Cao can break through the two JQs under the same roof, which made me emotionally unstable... So I read "The Great Sage" three times today! (Fall! It has a half-money relationship!) So it was not put up until this time in the morning.Well, for the sake of increasing the number of words, let’s make ends meet~

PS: I found out that Xu Zhiyuan is a shit-stirring stick... It seems that this statement makes the people who are "stirred" worse =., = But why do I still like Xu so much?Am I shaking M?No, I must be shaking S!
