"Do you want to kiss me or not?"

Su Xingchuan took a taxi back to school.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, didn't even dare to send a message to Li Xuan, he was afraid of getting an unwanted reply, and he was also afraid of running away from the situation and rushing all the way to Li Xuan's dormitory with his suitcase in tow.

Before you dare to call Li Xuan.

After a few rings, Li Xuan finally answered.

"What's the matter?"

It's not coldness, it's not deliberate distancing, it's the frustration of being repeatedly rejected, it's throwing a tantrum.

Su Xingchuan's hanging heart finally fell.

It's all loaded.

He pretends not to like it, Li Xuan pretends to give up.

It's all a test run, actually.

"I'm downstairs in your dormitory." Su Xingchuan said.

There was silence on the other end of the line for half a minute, and then Su Xingchuan heard the sound of a door slamming, footsteps on the stairs, panting breaths, and the next moment, Li Xuan rushed out the door of the dormitory.

Rushing to him.

The circles under his eyes are red and the tip of his nose.

Su Xingchuan thinks he's so pathetic, liking someone makes him so pathetic.

Su Xingchuan asked, "Aren't we friends?"

Li Xuan doesn't speak.

Su Xingchuan leaned down slightly and looked into Li Xuan's eyes, "I thought you were going to completely cut ties with me after you posted that."

Li Xuan grabbed the armrest of Su Xingchuan's suitcase and yanked it in his own direction to prevent Su Xingchuan from leaving, with a little bit of aggression, but also with the pride of success, "If you go straight home without saying a word today, I'll ignore you."

With a familiar tone, Su Xingchuan's heart suddenly settled down.

"How many days until your birthday?"

"The fifth, July fifth."

Su Xingchuan counted, "Four more days."

Li Xuan looked at Su Xingchuan's suitcase and suddenly remembered, "Didn't you, didn't you go to the station? Then your high speed train-"

"It was too late to refund the ticket, so I came straight back."

The tips of Li Xuan's ears turned red as he stammered, "How come there isn't even time for a refund? It can be changed."

"I'm afraid of someone crying in their dorm room."

Anyone else would have said, I'm not crying.

But Li Xuan is no one else.

He immediately said, "I'm crying, I'm so upset."

Su Xingchuan couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xuan grimaced at him, "No laughing."

"Where's the cake?" Su Xingchuan pinched Li Xuan's ear and said, "Let's go, let's go eat and celebrate your birthday early."

Li Xuan doesn't move.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xuan asked in a small voice, "Are you ...... leaving after your birthday?"

Su Xingchuan deliberately said, "Maybe, it depends."

Li Xuan's eyes grew dim for a moment.

"Gotta see if there's a ticket back to Lingan."

Li Xuan hurriedly pulled out Su Xingchuan's cell phone and hid it in his pocket, saying in a desperate attempt to hide it, "No tickets, no more."

Su Xingchuan, crying and laughing, Li Xuan lowered his head and asked almost to himself, "Su Xingchuan, can you not leave today?"

"What do you do if you don't go?"

Li Xuan took a step forward, slowly approaching, about to lean on Su Xingchuan's chest and then stopped, he raised his head, just in time to meet Su Xingchuan's deep gaze, both of them in each other's eyes read a little bit different from the previous meaning, Li Xuan slightly opened his lips, asked: "Can you fall in love with me for a day? "

Su Xingchuan froze.

He should have known, in fact, from the very beginning, from the narrow dimly lit alley, he was under Li Xuan's spell.

In fact, Li Xuan's little trick is not clever, too blunt, all in the eyes of the heart, nothing more than stalking to get an inch, can be delayed for a day is a day, but Su Xingchuan can never be refused.

Li Xuan didn't feel confident enough to grunt, "It's just one day, you'll be home by this time tomorrow."

Su Xingchuan felt the deafening sound of his heartbeat.

One day, what would happen? He doesn't know.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Good."

Li Xuan smiles instantly.

Su Xingchuan thought, "As long as he doesn't cry, anything is fine.

Li Xuan put Su Xingchuan's suitcase by the hostess' door, then went back upstairs to pick up the cake and give it to Su Xingchuan.

A not-so-large five-inch chocolate buttercream cake.

There are two little people on it.

Su Xingchuan took over.

Li Xuan was disgruntled: "Why don't you even look at those two villains?"

Su Xingchuan then looked up to see the two little people, both boys, sitting side by side. Unexpectedly, Su Xingchuan smiled softly and asked, "How did you explain that to the cake store?"

"No need to explain, just add the money."

"......"

When Su Xingchuan was about to leave, he noticed that Li Xuan was standing still, and looked back in confusion, only to see Li Xuan still standing next to his suitcase, tilting his head to look at him, Su Xingchuan didn't react at first, "What's wrong?"

Until Li Xuan stretched out his hand, he instantly realized.

Oh, boyfriend for a day.

Walk holding hands too.

Su Xingchuan sometimes thinks that Li Xuan was born to be his nemesis. It's a shame that he can think of a one-day relationship.

He shook Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan immediately flexed her fingers and hooked him, her two hands clasped together, and with a slight force from him, Li Xuan was pulled in front of him.

Li Xuan immediately stuck to it.

Li Xuan was really clingy, sticking to Su Xingchuan's arm all the way, not to mention sitting on Su Xingchuan's side when we arrived at the restaurant.

Su Xingchuan said, "Sit across the table."

Li Xuan shook his head decisively, "Don't."

Su Xingchuan had no choice but to put the menu in front of him.

"Order."

Li Xuan tilted his head to look at him, "Your treat?"

"Well, it's on me," Su Xingchuan told him, "I have a scholarship, and it's still enough to make your day, unless you want king crab and elephant mussels, which I can't afford."

Li Xuan puts her chin on Su Xingchuan's arm and sounds docile, "I don't like those."

"What do you like to eat?"

"Shrimp, freshwater shrimp, braised and steamed I like them all, but I don't like peeling them." Li Xuan never hides his pettiness.

"So you want me to peel it for you?"

Li Xuan opened his mouth and ate air, pretending to gorge himself, both legs already secretly resting on Su Xingchuan's leg.

Li Xuan likes to hang on Su Xingchuan like a pendant.

Although Su Xingchuan didn't find this position comfortable, she still let him manipulate and bully her. Su Xingchuan asked him, "That message you sent today, was it intentional or sincere?"

"You come back on purpose, you don't come back on purpose." Li Xuan wasn't stupid, he was crafty as hell.

Su Xingchuan gave a laugh.

"But I knew you'd come back."

"Why?"

"Because ......" Li Xuan leaned over to Su Xingchuan's ear and whispered, "you already like me."

His voice was fluffy, and Su Xingchuan's heart trembled with it, staring at him for a long time until the waiter came over and asked, "Have you ordered yet? Would you like me to make a recommendation?"

Su Xingchuan now snapped back to his senses and cleared his throat.

He and Li Xuan ordered a few dishes, then took out the cake, put in candles in the shape of "20s," and Su Xingchuan borrowed a lighter from the restaurant, and when they were lit, Li Xuan stood on the edge of the table, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes flickered with the bright flames of the candles.

Su Xingchuan said, "Make a wish, birthday boy."

Li Xuan clasped his two hands together, bowed his head and said, "First, I wish for my family's good health, and then, I hope that every year from now on, I can spend my birthday with Su Xingchuan."

Su Xingchuan looked at him quietly.

When he finished, he couldn't help teasing him, "You can't say a wish out loud, it won't work if you do."

"It won't be, the heart wants what it wants."

Li Xuan closed his eyes, touched his forehead to his clasped hands, repeated his wish reverently, and then raised his head.

Huff and puff twice and blow out the candles.

Su Xingchuan says, "Happy 20th birthday."

Li Xuan was so happy that he shook his head, alternating between his legs on Su Xingchuan's lap, which he had done before, but not as happily as today, so much so that Su Xingchuan had to press down on his knees.

"Kick it where?"

Li Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Where's the kick?"

Su Xingchuan raised his eyebrows and didn't take Li Xuan's words as he picked up the lemonade on the table and took a sip.

"Kicked in what I was going to use."

Su Xingchuan almost spit out a mouthful of lemonade, he choked violently a few times before covering Li Xuan's mouth, "Shame on you?"

Li Xuan looked innocent and shook his head.

Su Xingchuan said, "I thought you didn't know anything."

Li Xuan began to shake his leg in small increments and said, "It's okay, if the kick breaks, I'll fix it for you."

"...... Thanks, no."

Li Xuan was suddenly poked to laugh, buried his face in Su Xingchuan's arm and couldn't stop laughing, Su Xingchuan didn't want to talk to him.

After the meal, half of the cake is still left, Su Xingchuan asks Li Xuan to take it back to the dormitory and share it with his roommates, but Li Xuan is reluctant to do so.

"Why?"

"Don't want to talk to them."

Li Xuan began to tell Su Xingchuan about his life, his family life and campus life, about his loving mom and dad and how he couldn't get along with his roommates and classmates, Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders, "...... But I don't really care, I just want to be happy. "

Strangely enough, Li Xuan lacked friends, but not love.

Su Xingchuan asks, "So are you happy?"

Li Xuan nodded, "I'm happy today because I have a boyfriend today." He tilted his head and looked blearily at Su Xingchuan.

Playing nice again.

The restaurant was so crowded that Su Xingchuan had to take him out.

Li Xuan never seems to ask: Do you like me? Can you accept my little temper? What do you want me to do?

He just keeps telling Su Xingchuan: I like you.

He would secretly hold Su Xingchuan's hand while walking and interlock his fingers with Su Xingchuan. When Su Xingchuan responded by rubbing the back of his hand with his fingertips, little flowers would grow on top of his head, showing 100 percent joy, and his footsteps would become lighter.

He really is like a child.

After they got together, Yu Qinglan once curiously asked: "Su Xingchuan, you're so good to Li Xuan, you're both a father and a mother, I want to know, what did you get out of this relationship?

Su Xingchuan thought for a moment and said: a very pure kind of fondness.

While Su Xingchuan's world is full of people, Li Xuan's world is full of family, kittens, and Su Xingchuan, from whom he asks for a lot of love and gives himself unreservedly to Su Xingchuan.

They were on the road for a long time that day.

Li Xuan said he was tired, Su Xingchuan pulled him into a small pavilion where he could see the river in the distance, Li Xuan sat down next to Su Xingchuan and winked at him, Su Xingchuan hesitated for a few seconds, but still reached out and put his arm around his shoulders.

Li Xuan leaned on Su Xingchuan's shoulder, the summer wind was always sticky and wet, but the two never separated.

Li Xuan looks down and plays with the hem of Su Xingchuan's coat.

A summer evening with an orange sunset hanging in the sky.

The warm afterglow shone on Li Xuan's face like a soft veil, and when he raised his head, Su Xingchuan was about to talk to him with his head down, and his eyes bumped into each other unexpectedly.

Li Xuan looked to Su Xingchuan's lips.

This time Li Xuan didn't ask, "Do you want to kiss me?"

It was Su Xingchuan who approached first.

He'd only felt Li Xuan's warm, soft lips once, a kiss imprinted on his cheek that was light and quickly disappeared, and then he'd imagined it all in his dreams, and the more he thought about it, the more he fell.

Li Xuan felt Su Xingchuan's initiative.

He held his breath, the two men's heartbeats beating as fast as the raindrops that fell on the lapis lazuli, densely interlaced.

Su Xingchuan is getting closer and closer.

Just then, a childish voice suddenly rang out from the side: "That's two boys! They're hugging each other!"

A boy on a small bicycle stood a short distance away, pointing his finger at them and calling out to his playmates and parents next to him.

Li Xuan's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment.

Su Xingchuan subconsciously wrapped his arms around Li Xuan's shoulders and made him bury his face in his embrace to prevent others from seeing Li Xuan's face.

Li Xuan sank into Su Xingchuan's arms and didn't move.

The little boy called out to his mother, who saw two tall boys hugging each other in the pavilion, and her face changed instantly, her eyes disgusted, and she muttered something under her breath.

Su Xingchuan even covered Li Xuan's ears.

After half a minute, Li Xuan heard Su Xingchuan whisper in his ear, "The child is gone, it's okay."

Li Xuan, now look up.

He asked Su Xingchuan, "Is this what you are afraid of?"

Su Xingchuan did not reply.

Li Xuan lowered his head, Su Xingchuan suddenly raised his hand and pinched his ear. Li Xuan seemed to have suddenly lost his breath and leaned on Su Xingchuan's shoulder, staring at the sparkling river in the distance.

Li Xuan, twenty years old, sighed into the river.

Like a kitten with sudden sorrow.

Su Xingchuan wanted to say something, but stopped short.

He took Li Xuan to the food court to settle the dinner, he bought Li Xuan fried skewers and iron plate squid, Li Xuan ate the sauce all over his mouth, and was joked by Su Xingchuan that he looked like a kitten, he was so angry that he wanted to rub his face on Su Xingchuan's clothes, and Su Xingchuan dodged and laughed at the same time.

As the wind blew along the embankment, Li Xuan, holding a wolfsbane potato bigger than his face in one hand and an ice cream in the other, said he was full about a third of the way through his meal, and Su Xingchuan had to take it and eat it.

Li Xuan said, "Happy."

Su Xingchuan said, "That's good."

There were so many people cooling off and playing by the river, and so many children, that Li Xuan didn't dare to stick to Su Xingchuan as he did during the day, so they hid in a secluded corner, sitting side by side, watching the light show of the buildings on the other side of the river, and listening to the sound of the freighters sailing by.

Li Xuan suddenly raised a hand high up to Su Xingchuan's face, opened his five fingers and clenched his fist violently, "Shoo--"

He said, "Time has stopped, and you're going to sit here with me until the end of time."

Su Xingchuan laughed softly, "Is that so?"

Unfortunately, the clock couldn't be stopped, and when it was time to part, Su Xingchuan sent Li Xuan back to the dormitory.

Li Xuan said to Su Xingchuan, "See you tomorrow."

Halfway through the one-day boyfriend deadline.

Li Xuan looked at him blearily.

Su Xingchuan was about to reach out, but one after another, students were returning to the dormitory, so he could only give up.

Su Xingchuan can't seem to find a suitable opportunity to tell Li Xuan what's in his heart, Li Xuan also seems to have something on his mind suddenly, from the pavilion to the dormitory, he didn't mention the kissing thing again.

Su Xingchuan took his own suitcase and watched Li Xuan go up the stairs three times, his heart became more and more reluctant to part with him.

.

When he returned to his dorm, his roommate saw him and froze on the spot, "What are you doing back here?"

Su Xingchuan casually said, "I didn't catch the bus."

Another roommate rushed in, shouting furiously, "Look, a picture of Xingchuan holding hands with a boy has been posted on the confession wall - hey? Xingchuan, didn't you go home?"

Su Xingchuan took her roommate's cell phone and saw the picture.

Surprisingly, it was a head-on shot.

On the school's footbridge, he and Li Xuan walked side by side, Li Xuan liked to walk on the edge of the steps, swaying from side to side as if he were walking on a log bridge, and Su Xingchuan held his hand and smiled at him.

Turns out he was the one who watched Li Xuan most of the time.

Who can tell it's Li Xuan who's after him?

The roommate thought Su Xingchuan would be embarrassed, or angry, but Su Xingchuan just smiled and said, "That's cute."

"Huh?"

Su Xingchuan pointed at Li Xuan: "Don't you guys think he's cute?"

Two roommates: "......"

As if Su Xingchuan couldn't say enough, he continued, "He's going to be a doctor in the future, isn't that great? And he's smart, he can't forget his books, and he's number one in pampering."

Two roommates: "............"

Su Xingchuan slightly hooked his lips and said to his roommate, "Brothers, I may, in the future, not be able to help you ask for a girl's WeChat."

The roommate did a double take.

Lying on the bed, Su Xingchuan realized that his mother had called him two hours later, he didn't answer, and she sent him a message: [Is it today's bus? Why aren't you home yet?]

He replied, [I have to do a temporary volunteer activity at school today, so I probably won't be able to come home for a few days].

The mother said yes and told him not to play outside all day.

The lights were turned off in the dormitory, the images of the afternoon date still playing like a slide show in his mind, and he remembered the attempted kiss, which he actually wanted to kiss, but the timing was missed.

He thought: tomorrow, tomorrow take that step.

There was a vibration in his ear, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Xuan sent him a message.

Cat Head: [The more I think about it, the angrier I get.]

Cathead: [No kisses for you today.]

Su Xingchuan felt his heart being scratched by a cat's claw.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

He replied: [Want to make it up now?]
