Chapter 90 The Real World
Chapter 90 The Real World
Tang Jiu has heard many confessions, some are young, some are exaggerated, and some are pretending to be affectionate.
But there has never been one like this, simple, unadorned, but sincere, trying to cut out his entire heart.
Inexplicably, Tang Jiu only felt his heart ache, as if being gently squeezed by an invisible big hand: "It's been a long time...how long?"
"I can't remember clearly." Xie Lin said.I really can't remember clearly, that feeling arose when a teenager was ignorant, and when he realized it and went back to look for it, he couldn't find any trace of the source.
Probably this is what is said, the love does not know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.
"Have you always... liked me?"
"I've always liked it."
"Do you also like me when I'm dating other people later?"
No need for words, Xie Lin's eyes have already told him the answer.
Tang Jiu's nose was sour, and his eye sockets were instantly wet.
I was shocked, overwhelmed, confused, nervous... but no amount of complex emotions could match the heartache that surged up at this moment.
"You...are you tired?" Tang Jiu cried suddenly, gritting his teeth and covering his eyes with his palms, "I'm sorry, I...I haven't noticed..."
Tang Jiu doesn't know what it's like to be in secret love, but he knows what it's like to be broken in love.
Although every relationship is absurd and short-lived like a joke, as long as you give even a sliver of true love, your heart will still hurt when you are betrayed and abandoned.
Xie Lin silently liked him for so long, how much did he pay?
How will he feel when he sees himself falling in love with other people without knowing anything?
As long as Tang Jiu changed his position and thought about it for a while, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe: "I'm sorry, I don't know, I really don't know..."
"I don't blame you." Xie Lin pulled his palm covering his eyes, clasped it tightly, and looked down at his tear-stained eyes gently, "You are so stupid, I didn't tell you, of course you have no idea."
In the past, when he heard Xie Lin say he was stupid, he would have rushed forward and started a fight with the other party, but now, Tang Jiu willingly recognized the word "stupid", the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Opening her mouth to cry even harder: "Then you all know I'm stupid, why didn't you tell me?"
Xie Lin smiled wryly.
Most of people's indecision is because of the word "cherish".
The more you care, the more you are afraid of losing, the more you will shrink back, and you will only carefully guard the one-acre three-point land in front of you, for fear that only a small part will be taken away.
It's not that Xie Lin never thought about confessing his feelings to Tang Jiu.One evening after Tang Jiu and Jun Songyu broke up, they walked together on the path home.The sunset gently casts orange light, outlining the outline of everything into a lazy warm color.Xie Lin turned his head to look at the bouncing boy beside him, a strong impulse surged in his heart without warning.
It's been a long time since I broke up with that boy.
So why not try it with him?
If you don't say it now, when will you have to wait?
He took a breath quietly, and was about to speak when Tang Jiu suddenly kicked a pebble away from his feet, and told him firmly: "Boss Crab, I have decided that I will never fall in love with boys again!!"
Like a speeding train that encountered a roadblock and suddenly braked and then lost control and derailed, Xie Lin experienced a tragic traffic accident in his heart in just a few seconds.He hastily swallowed back the words he was about to say, his face turned blue, and after a while he asked with difficulty: "...Why?"
"Men are big pigs!" Tang Jiu said angrily, "I've figured it out, there are very few people like us, either men and women take it all or lie to others, it's really hard to find a reliable one!"
Xie Lin choked for a moment, and wanted to tell him that there were reliable ones, so Tang Jiu hooked his shoulders carelessly, slapped him on the back twice, and said majesticly: "How can a man have a reliable brother! Boss Crab, or You are the best to me!"
Xie Lin's expression was colorful, silently swallowed a mouthful of painstaking effort, and then forced a smile: "...you are right."
Although he almost suffered internal injuries, Xie Lin suddenly realized that now is really not the time to confess.Tang Jiuqing and Dou Fangkai have been cheated by the scumbags for their feelings, and now they feel like they are in danger, and have a vigilance and even hostility towards the matter of love.If you confess now, I'm afraid it will backfire, and it may scare people away.
So he decided to stand still and look for another opportunity.
But who would have thought that a certain guy was not only a little fool, but also a little liar, yelling that his heart was broken and he would never fall in love again, but when the scar healed, he forgot the pain, and he followed other people after healed. The boy ran away.
Tang Jiu also remembered the good deeds he had done.
He came out to his parents after Xie Lin. His father couldn't accept it at first, so he picked up a feather duster angrily and wanted to beat him. He was aroused to be rebellious, and turned around with a boy who had been chasing him. together.
Tang Jiu was so ashamed that he simply closed his eyes and said loudly, "It's all my fault, just beat me up!"
He waited with his neck stuck, and finally a gentle hand gently wiped his weeping face.
He stupidly opened his eyes.
"Will you like me if I beat you up?"
Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment, and Xie Lin rubbed his head helplessly: "Fool. I just confessed my love to you, should you respond to me?"
Tang Jiu's mind buzzed, and he suddenly became at a loss: "I, I..."
Xie Lin saw that his face was blushing, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, like a little rabbit on a hot pot, with a dazed look, not knowing what to do.He didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for the other party's answer.
Xie Lin actually had a heavy stone in his heart.
He knew Tang Jiu's aesthetic standards like the back of his hand, and knew that he liked tall people, handsome people, especially those with abs; as for character, he didn't have many requirements, as long as he was loyal and dedicated to love.
Although Xie Lin is not a proud person, he is convinced that he meets someone's mate selection criteria in everything, and even surpasses the level line—but what he can't figure out is why Tang Jiu never considered him?
He couldn't help but began to wonder if he wasn't good enough, and even once hopelessly wondered if he and Tang Jiu really had no fate.
Maybe no matter how good or excellent he is, he won't be able to win that person's love. He is destined to be by his side as a "best friend" for the rest of his life.
"Have you really never considered me?" Xie Lin couldn't help asking, "You really don't have any other thoughts about me except brotherly love?"
"I thought you were straight, how dare you have thoughts about you!" Tang Jiu looked like he was about to cry again, "And even if you weren't straight... I wouldn't dare to bend you..."
Tang Jiu himself is a person with no ambitions, and his greatest ideal is to live a happy and free life, so although he has been troubled by his sexuality, he still boldly came out to his family and friends around him.
But Xie Lin is different.
Xie Lin is too good.In the eyes of everyone, he is a near-perfect existence. When Tang Jiu dragged Xie Lin to play with him every day, he would occasionally feel guilty, fearing that he would bring Xie Lin to bad. After a long time, he saw Xie Lin's achievements When it was completely unaffected, I quietly relieved myself.
Therefore, Tang Jiu never thought about "handling" Xie Lin.
Although Tang Jiu was careless, he knew everything he needed to know. It was precisely because he knew how difficult the road he was walking that he decided not to turn Xie Lin into this corner.
So, even though he would secretly drool at Xie Lin's handsome face, indulge in the gentle indulgence Xie Lin gave him, and occasionally have hallucinations, if he could find a boyfriend like Xie Lin in the future, how much life would be like Consummation... But, it's just a thought.
He even seriously warned himself not to think about his good brother.
"...Then I'm really thankful, thank you, thank you." Xie Lin could not wait to open Tang Jiu's mind to see what was inside. Tang Jiu shrank his neck from the fright of his eyes, and said extremely aggrieved: "How do I know that you bent earlier than me! I'm also afraid of spoiling you..."
"I've been led to ruin by you." Xie Lin stretched out his hand to pinch his face, "I can't be more crooked now, are you responsible?"
Tang Jiu's entire face wrinkled together.The boy looks really good-looking, not to mention the exquisite facial features, but he also has a spirit of energy everywhere, and his eyes are especially lively. Even if he makes such an expression, it still makes people feel cute.
"Give me a moment to think about it, okay?"
The brother of 20 years suddenly wanted to be his boyfriend, Tang Jiu was so dazed and confused that he dared not agree rashly.But to say that he doesn't have any other thoughts about Xie Lin...it doesn't seem to be the case.
He has caused Xie Lin to suffer so much, and he must not make the other party sad again. In the attitude of being responsible to Xie Lin, he must think clearly before giving an answer.
"Give me three days..." Tang Jiu paused, and suddenly remembered that he had been waiting for so many years, and hurriedly changed his words, "Not three days, one day! Give me one day, okay?"
Looking at the anxious and guilty eyes of the boy, Xie Lin's heart has long been softened to a mess.
"Three days." He stroked Tang Jiu's hair, "There's no rush, just think about it slowly."
"Also, you don't need to owe me. Whoever you like is your freedom, no matter what the answer is...I will accept it."
-
Tang Jiu almost balds his hair.
He thought hard for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He felt that this was not going to work, so he took out his mobile phone and made a call, deciding to seek foreign aid.
An hour later, at the downtown cafe, Tang Jiu and Xiang Wei met.
Tang Jiu is very popular. Apart from a group of buddies, he also has a few close female friends who have played with him since childhood, and Xiang Wei is one of them.
The beautiful woman dressed like a queen took off her sunglasses, leaned back on the sofa, folded her slender legs gracefully, and looked at him leisurely: "You called me out in a hurry, what happened?"
Tang Jiu sat upright and told her with a serious face, "Xie Lin confessed to me."
Xiang Wei: "..."
In the next second, she put down her stacked legs, leaned forward suddenly, and her nonchalant expression suddenly emitted gossip rays that could penetrate the atmosphere. She said excitedly and excitedly, "The thousand-year-old bastard has finally come out of its shell!?"
"How do you talk? Who is the bastard?" Tang Jiu immediately widened his eyes in dissatisfaction, but then realized something, "...Wait, how do you know he likes me!?"
"How should I put it, probably everyone with eyes knows it." Xiang Wei looked at him, "Oh, except you."
Tang Jiu had a look of disbelief.
"Jiujiu, you're good everywhere, but you're a little silly here." Xiang Wei patted his head pityingly, "The one named Xie almost spoils you to the sky, and I have never found a boyfriend or girlfriend for so many years." , if he doesn't like you, there are only two possibilities."
Tang Jiu looked at her nervously.
"First, he is actually a robot, bought by your family to be your nanny since childhood." Xiang Wei said seriously, "Second, he can't."
Tang Jiu: "..."
Tang Jiu: "Can you rely on some clues!?"
"Honey, I'm very reliable." Xiang Wei said sincerely, "I've seen the brotherhood of my childhood sweetheart a lot, but I've never seen someone who holds a brother in his palm and protects him like Xie Lin. How can he treat you? If you don't think about it, it's a ghost."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Do I dare!" Xiang Wei opened her beautiful eyes, "Xie Lin treats your baby like eyeballs, he doesn't even dare to confess, if I mess things up by talking too much, he won't tear me apart!"
Tang Jiu thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
So, Ganqing is really just as stupid as himself! ?
Seeing him lying on the table like a discouraged bun, Xiang Wei immediately stuck out her pointed nails and poked him: "Get down to business, Xie Lin confessed, and then what? Are you so stupid that you can't figure it out, so you came here?" Ask me for help?"
"I know you still ask." Tang Jiu gave her a mournful look, "I've spent a day thinking about it, but I just can't figure it out."
Xiang Wei thought for a while, and said: "Then let me make a hypothesis for you. We all know that you have a magical physique. If there is an affectionate and handsome man waiting for you in front of you, he will treat you for the rest of his life. Alright, I will give you the love and happiness you want—but the premise is that you want to break up with Xie Lin, and you will never see your crab boss—how would you choose?”
"Does it need to be said, of course I choose Xie Lin!" Tang Jiu immediately straightened up without thinking.
After speaking, his thoughts suddenly turned a corner, and he made a hypothesis.
If the one he met in the mission world was not Xie Lin, but someone else, how would he choose?
Tang Jiu thought this question was difficult, but he arrived at the answer almost at the same speed.
——He wants to thank Lin.
This is actually a question that does not require thinking, because he cannot accept an answer without Xie Lin.
He didn't even dare to imagine what life would be like without Xie Lin.
"Okay, the second hypothesis." Xiang Wei's voice brought back his wandering thoughts, "Try to imagine the scene where Xie Lin is like the domineering president in the TV series, pressing you against the wall to kiss—— Are you disgusted?"
Tang Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned a little red.
Don't try to think about it... This scene happened not long ago, and he can remember it clearly...
Seeing his expression, Xiang Wei immediately understood something, took a deep breath and asked, "You must have kissed him already!"
Tang Jiu lowered his eyelashes, his eyes drifted a little.
Good guy!Xiang Wei was shocked.She really underestimated that Xie!Did he take the wrong medicine all of a sudden or something, but he has changed so violently!
"Then," Xiang Wei asked immediately, "how do you feel? Is it disgusting?"
Tang Jiu immediately said, "How is that possible!"
Although I was only concerned about the shock at the time and didn't pay much attention to other feelings, it is definitely impossible to feel disgusted!
"Okay, then the third hypothesis." Xiang Wei's eyes were clear, she showed a not-so-lady smile, and heyed strangely, "Imagine again, if you have some more intimate contact with your crab boss ? For example, touching the waist, rubbing the thighs, stripping the clothes, rolling the sheets—”
Tang Jiu: "..."
Shut up, there is a picture in my mind! !
Looking at Tang Jiu's red cheeks and neck, Xiang Wei spread his hands: "It seems that there is no need to continue to assume. Silly Jiujiu, don't you understand?"
Tang Jiu sat silently for a while, then stood up suddenly.
"I'll treat you to dinner another day." He rushed out, "I'm leaving first!"
He ran back to the hotel where he woke up and returned to his original room.Xie Lin was still inside, and he was a little surprised to see him come back so soon: "What's wrong?"
Tang Jiu closed the door with his backhand, his heart was beating so fast because he was running wildly all the way, and he took a long time to calm down after panting for a long time.Xie Lin laughed and poured him a glass of water, watched him drink a little bit: "Didn't you say you should find a quiet place to think about it?"
Tang Jiu let out a long breath and looked up at him: "I've made up my mind."
Xie Lin's hand that took the glass paused, and his fingers couldn't help but force hard, and the pulp of his fingers turned white on the wall of the glass.
……So fast?
Did you figure it out, or...
He put the empty glass on the table and clenched his palms into fists involuntarily by his side.
His fingertips had turned pale and cold.
But in the next second, another hand slipped into his palm.Warm, like holding a little sun.
His heart stopped beating, and he raised his eyes to meet Tang Jiu's.
Tang Jiu was also so nervous that he was dying.
When confessing, what should you say?
Also say "I like you?" Will it not be strong enough?
Damn, I knew I should check Baidu first before coming back! !
He struggled for a long time in a mess, his face was flushed, and he couldn't think of the best answer, so he could only ask clumsily:
"Thank you Lin."
"Do you want to kiss my little tiger teeth?"
