25. Chapter XXV
Guan Ce's loss of consciousness was only a momentary thing, and after he came back to his senses, he realized that he had such a feeling of "peace of mind", and his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to break free from Zhou An's hands.
Seeing that he had just woken up from a dream, the light in Zhou An's eyes slowly dimmed, and he let go of his hand, for fear that the atmosphere between the two would be embarrassing, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Are you going home?" ”
Guan Ce saw that he didn't notice his abnormality, and made up his mind: "Send you home, I still have something to do." ”
"To the company?"
After getting into the car, Zhou An's action of fastening his seat belt paused, and after a while, he heard Guan Ce's answer: "Hmm." ”
Zhou An frowned: "Those texts you read before?" Does it have to be done tonight? ”
Guan Ce thought to himself, isn't this an obvious thing, what's so strange.
But somehow, looking at Zhou An with a look of annoyance, his words were much softer: "It's just a few reports, you can review it, and it won't take much time." ”
Zhou An looked at his phone, it was already more than 10 o'clock.
"I'll be with you."
"No, I don't."
"I'm sorry for you!" Zhou An smiled slyly, "Anyway, I won't get out of the car." ”
Guan Ce glanced at him and started the car speechlessly. When I arrived downstairs at Zhou An's house, I saw that he was really sitting still.
"Really don't get out of the car?"
Zhou An didn't answer, Guan Ce was helpless, so he had to drive him back to the company again.
The remaining reports must be taken out and discussed at tomorrow morning's meeting, otherwise Guan Ce will not have to work overtime.
Entering the office, Zhou An consciously walked to the sofa in the corner, took out his mobile phone to listen to the song, Guan Ce saw that he was determined to stay, so he went with him, and quickly put himself into work.
Time passed quickly when he was concentrating, and by the time Guan Ce finally finished reviewing the last document and put the pen into the pen case, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
He pinched the bridge of his sour nose and turned his head to look at Zhou An, who had been quiet since entering the office. I saw that he had headphones in his ears, his head lowered, and he looked like he was asleep.
Even in the downtown area, it's already silent at 1 a.m., and all you can hear in the office is the sound of computer fans and the sound of Guan Ce's footsteps gradually slowing down.
He walked up to Zhou An, and the shadow enveloped the person who was huddled on the sofa.
Guan Ce watched Zhou An fall asleep quietly with his eyes closed, the corners of his lips, which were usually always smiling, were lightly pursed at this time, looking quiet and well-behaved, where could he be half angry when he was awake, and he had a hippie smile.
The light cast a small shadow on Zhou An's eyelashes, and Guan Ce's eyes focused there, thinking a lot, such as he had clearly rejected this person three times, why could the other party still insist without changing his face?
For example, he has always been clear about what he wants, why does the once angular principles gradually become indistinguishable in his dealings with this person?
Guan Ce was full of thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his fingers were no more than half an inch away from Zhou An's eyelashes.
At this time, Zhou An's eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, with a light smile in his eyes, and looked directly at Guan Ce: "I've been waiting for so long, why don't you kiss?" ”
He spoke suddenly, startling Guan Ce, and then habitually lowered his face, and just wanted to speak, he was grabbed by Zhou An and kissed by his tie.
This kiss stopped, Zhou An smiled and bent his eyes, grabbed Guan Ce's tie, and said in a low voice: "If you don't kiss, then I can only take the initiative." ”
Guan Ce was so startled by this sudden kiss that he resisted, and only after a moment did he realize what had just happened, and reached out to hold Zhou An's hand, wanting to free his tie, but was pulled over by the other party again, and the two were almost face to face.
"Guan Ce, I dreamed of taking the train just now, but I couldn't find you when I got on the train......" Zhou An couldn't help but feel lost when he saw his indifferent expression, but when he turned his eyes and saw the tips of the other party's crimson ears, he became happy again, "Although I am very uneasy, I am afraid that there will be no good result in the end, I will always be good to you." ”
Guan Ce's heart was slightly sour, and he said in a dumb voice: "It's easy to promise things that don't open your mouth." ”
Zhou An smiled: "Do you know how painful your expression is at this time?" ”
The kind of attitude that obviously wants to open the door to his own world, but is worried about being hurt and cautious, makes Zhou An eager to hold people in his arms and say love words to him for a lifetime.
Zhou An saw the fleeting panic in Guan Ce's eyes, and couldn't help but hold his waist and hold the person in his arms: "If you don't want to make a decision, don't do it, I'm willing to be your spare tire for the rest of your life, and it's okay if it's just an ambiguous relationship forever." ”
"I can't do this to you!" Guan Ce pushed Zhou An's shoulders with both hands, but because his posture was not strong, he failed to get out of the other party's arms.
Zhou An heard the seriousness in his tone and chuckled: "You definitely won't be such a scumbag, so I just said it to put you at ease." ”
Guan Ce grabbed Zhou An's back collar and separated the two, frowning and staring at Zhou An who was smiling, not knowing how to pick up such brazen words from him.
"Try to accept me, okay?" Zhou An reached out and gently held Guan Ce's face, rubbing his thumb on his face, "I will learn to do what you ask for 'equality, respect and tolerance'." ”
Zhou An's eyes were crystal clear, and the deepest part was a strong affection, Guan Ce was stunned, his brain buzzed softly, and he forgot to answer.
"Guan Ce, you are calm and self-controlled, do you want me to be as strict as you to believe me?" Zhou An sighed, "But if I can't even get close to you like that, how can I make you like me?" ”
"I don't ......"
"Please don't refuse the fourth time, I can't stand it no matter how thick-skinned I am." Zhou An smiled bitterly, stood up and held Guan Ce's face, and kissed him on the forehead, "Is the work done?" ”
Guan Ce silently watched Zhou An forcibly adjust his feelings to his usual grinning appearance, his heart was caught, sore and painful, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhou Anli packed up Guan Ce's things, and when he saw that he didn't move, he asked, "Can't you go yet?" But I'm so sleepy......" said and frowned aggrievedly, looking pitiful.
Guan Ce nodded: "Let's go." ”
The two got into the car and drove to Zhou An's house.
Guan Ce didn't speak all the way, Zhou An was ready to be rejected again, thinking that he couldn't keep Guan Ce even if he tried his best, he had a lot of worries along the way.
When he arrived downstairs, seeing that Guan Ce didn't mean to speak, Zhou An breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped once tonight, and said goodbye to the other party with a strong spirit.
"Qiao Yuan." Guan Ce stopped him a second before he was about to get out of the car, "It's not that I don't believe you, I don't believe in myself." ”
Guan Ce turned his head and looked at Zhou An: "I have been alone for too long, and I have gradually lost the ability to love." I'm not ready to accept anyone, not against you. ”
Zhou listened quietly, and even his breathing slowed down.
Guan Ce has never said these words to others, including Shao Bing, who has nothing to talk about since he was a child.
It was embarrassing for him to confess in front of someone who liked him, but a voice in his heart kept encouraging him to say what he thought: "I'm not sure I can repay your equal feelings, and after a long time, you will find that I am a very boring person......"
Guan Ce was a little afraid to look at Zhou An's burning eyes, so he slightly adjusted his gaze and looked at the small tree on the side of the road: "I'm afraid that I won't do well and let you down." ”
"No!" Zhou An finally couldn't help it, held Guan Ce's hand tightly holding the steering wheel in the palm of his hand, and said distressedly, "I just need you to smile or get angry at me, being your only reliance is the best reward for me." ”
Guan Ce looked at Zhou An in a daze, uneasy in the other party's warm gaze and collapsed little by little, and his heart suddenly settled.
Zhou An smiled slightly, leaned forward, and hugged Guan Ce tightly: "Don't worry, leave it to me, you just have to be yourself." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and kissed Guan Ce's sideburns, then let go of the car, went around to the cab and touched his face again: "I'll go back first, you report to me when you get home." ”
Guan Ce held back the churning feelings, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." ”
Zhou An nodded, took a step back, and watched the bright red taillights disappear from sight, and the ecstasy finally broke through the restraints and blew him up on the spot.
When he got home, Zhou An finished washing as fast as he could, and shrunk into the quilt to guard the phone.
A few minutes later, the phone lit up, Zhou Anyi sat up with a grunt, looked at the words "I'm home" on the screen, and smiled like a silly boy who was just starting to fall in love.
