After another moment, Xia Solstice let go of the doorknob and turned around and walked back.

Su Xiao stood in place, he pinned his face to the side, and when she approached, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at her.

She walked up to him and remembered that she had forgotten to take off her shoes. She looked down at her shoes and the clean floor, and comically bent down to take them off again and threw them into the corner. She was a little shorter than him all of a sudden.

She noticed that his shoulders were shaking slightly, and she was dazed, looking at the computer speakers that were still playing soft music, and at the beer on the low table that had not yet been drunk, and wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

She realized that he had only told her about it, and that was why he had been single.

She retraces the many details of her acquaintance with him.

The first time they met, crossing the single-plank bridge on Nanshan Mountain, facing her outstretched hand, he forcibly suppressed an unnatural look;

Camping in Yejing Bay, in the face of her casual touch, his panicked look, and the two fingers that pressed her head back on his shoulder when watching the sunrise;

And the hug just now, his stiff body.

This is all his instinctive reaction when facing the opposite sex, not to mention the kind of shame he feels in front of girls, which he did not deliberately do, he did feel uncomfortable.

But he tried very hard to hide his sexuality from everyone, and he called her and asked her to meet, not to show off, but to make everyone feel that he was no different. But......

Xia Zhi said: "It's not just that you don't like women anymore, I think you're simply afraid of women." Then why aren't you afraid of me? ”

He opened his eyes, but still didn't look at her: "I'm afraid of you too...... I'm afraid you'll ignore me...... I told you, I'm a freak......"

"You're not." She stepped forward and involuntarily wanted to hug him, but her toes only tiptoed for a moment, and then retracted, and she tilted her head to look at him, and said, "I...... Can I hold you? The kind of pure friendship. ”

He turned his head slightly and met her eyes, and she smiled at him. Stunned for a second, he nodded, and opened his arms to her.

She passed her hands under his arms and hugged him tightly, "Thank you for trusting me. ”

"Thank you too...... Don't dislike me. He tightened his grip on her, and she heard his deep, nasal voice, his breath fluttering.

"How so? You should have told me sooner. That way I have peace of mind. ”

"Peace of mind?" He let go of her and looked at her in surprise.

"I'm afraid you like me!" She wrinkled her nose and laughed.

He frowned slightly and said, "That's right, you've expressed it more than once." You don't have to stress about it. ”

"That's not what it means." Xia Zhi smiled gently, stretched out his hand and turned his face to himself, "You look at me and listen to me." You're good, and that doesn't change because you like men or women. I'm actually quite stressed about making friends with you.

"This pressure is not only from the outside world, but also from myself, and sometimes I am really afraid that I will like you. I'm the kind of person who has low self-esteem, once I like someone, I will suffer from gains and losses, and I feel that I am not worthy of the other party, and the better the other party, the more afraid I am. ”

"Summer solstice, I'm not as good as you say......"

"You're better than you thought you would." She nodded, as if to add to the persuasiveness of her words, "I'm not worried now, I can confirm that you really won't like me, I won't like you, we can be friends for life." ”

The corners of Su Xiao's lips on both sides furled, and she smiled: "I've never seen anyone happy like this because others don't like her." ”

"You see it now." Xia Zhi pointed to the beer on the table and said, "Wine, are you still drinking?" ”

"You like it." Fat cat bar

"Then sit down." She had too many things to hear from him, so she didn't hurry to leave—in fact, it was late enough, it was nearly eleven o'clock.

She reopened a can of wine, waited for him to sit down, and watched him stand withered, and she asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"You...... Don't you think it's weird? He sat down beside her.

"What's so strange." It is...... It's just a pity, "You don't want to tell anyone?" ”

He shook his head: "I don't want to." ”

"You don't have to be so wronged." His lonely look made her feel a little distressed, "It's okay to find a boyfriend." ”

"I ...... I've liked someone else. ”

She remembered, he had told her in the beginning. Su Xiao said that he confessed to that person and frightened him, but she had been thinking habitually thinking that it was "her". She wanted to ask about it, and before she could speak, he said it.

"I didn't tell him directly, I wrote him a letter. And then there was no more. He took the can of wine that Xia Zhi had opened and didn't drink, "We were originally very good friends. ”

He may not have remembered the tacit cooperation between the two on the court for a long time, remembering that the two were brushing up questions in the evening self-study room, and the first time he lied to Su Yujie, it was he who took him to the Internet café to play games all night.

"After that, I never made any friends like that, whether male or female." He looked at her again, "Except for you." ”

Xia Zhi held up the wine jar to him: "Although I don't think I'm capable, I should be able to live up to your trust." ”

"Of course you can." He touched the jug, took a sip and said, "That's enough, I'll have to go to work tomorrow." ”

"Ah......h ”

She stretched and stood up and walked to the attic, he looked at her back and said, "You...... Do you want to sleep in my bed? ”

She didn't look back, and said as she walked up the stairs, "Is there a problem?" You're not saying you don't like women? I'm not worried. I was too lazy to run back. ”

In the middle of the night, she drank again, and she didn't bother to walk for ten minutes. Besides, it's not like they've slept in the same room, and now they don't have any doubts.

"But...... Our physiology is still different......"

She stood at the top of the stairs and turned around and said, "No, my sleeping in your bed doesn't mean sleeping in the same bed with you, you go sleep on the sofa." ”

“…… Summer solstice, this is my home......" His expression was a little pitiful, the sofa nest was comfortable all of a sudden, but it was estimated that it would be enough to lie down all night.

"Then do you want my daughter to sleep on the couch?"

“…… Actually, you can also be a woman......"

"Didn't you say that our physiology is different? You're lying next to me, and I'm afraid I'll break you straight by accident. "She didn't have the heart or lungs to get up, and the king of heaven didn't have anything she could do.

“…… Well, I sleep on the couch...... But you haven't showered yet......"

"As far as you're being careful, I didn't bring a change of clothes, is there a difference between washing and not washing?" She couldn't do anything about his slight cleanliness, so she had to say, "Why don't you borrow my clothes?" ”

"Hmm...... In the closet, you can take whatever you want. ”

She found a T-shirt that covered her thighs and went downstairs into the bathroom. When she came out of the shower, Su Xiao had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Xia Solstice put a blanket over him, and his sleeping appearance was quiet and simple.
