Chapter 7: Cupped his face and kissed him.

Bring Li Xuan home.

For Su Xingchuan seven years ago, it was a simple but unattainable dream.

At that time he was an ordinary student, can only take Li Xuan to the hotel, and can not always stay in the best hotel, occasionally go to some low-grade hotel, Su Xingchuan feel that the loss of Li Xuan, and then he always want to have a home of their own.

His house, facing north and south, is sunny and airy, with cotton quilts and fluffy velvet pillows so that the petite bag can sleep comfortably.

It is a pity that Su Xingchuan only accomplished this goal at the age of twenty-six.

In fact, the house was not bought in full, and his parents paid the down payment together, and he undertook the monthly mortgage, but at least it was his house, and it was an okay start for an average person.

Su Xingchuan has always felt that he is not bad looking, handsome, family harmony, good university, a decent job, a house and a car at a young age, he should not need to feel inferior.

--provided that if you don't meet Li Xuan.

When he met Li Xuan, both seven years ago and seven years later, he felt he hadn't done enough.

Su Xingchuan pointed to a high-rise building in front of him, "I live on the fifteenth floor, and the one on the right is my house."

Li Xuan gave an inaudible "hmm".

Li Xuan ponders in silence: why doesn't he live with his boyfriend? Because he's not a long-term partner? Su Xingchuan doesn't look like someone who would date, ah, and also, that guy isn't very good looking, and he smells like a straight man, Su Xingchuan likes that now? What about me? What about me?

Thinking about it, his wrist was suddenly held by someone.

Su Xingchuan held his wrist through the sleeve of his cotton shirt and pulled him to the side, "Up the steps this way."

Li Xuan's wrists are stiff, Su Xingchuan has let go.

When he arrived at Su Xingchuan's door, Su Xingchuan's hand stopped typing the password and he glanced at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan did not know why.

Su Xingchuan bowed his head and entered the six-digit password, Li Xuan did not care at first, but when he pulled open the door and was ready to go in, he suddenly paused, the order of the password ...... why does it look a bit familiar?

Couldn't think clearly for a moment.

But he didn't have the heart to think anymore.

Because he saw two pairs of slippers, two pairs of men's slippers, next to Su Xingchuan's shoe cabinet.

Two pairs, men's, slippers.

When Su Xingchuan saw Li Xuan stop at the door and not come in, she was about to ask him about it when she realized that Li Xuan was staring at the gray slippers next to the shoe cabinet.

He sighed in his heart that it was not good, but on his face he still forced himself to be calm.

These slippers were worn by Xie Liang.

Xie Liang stayed at Su Xingchuan's house for five days last month because of a plumbing problem at home, which required him to remove the wooden floor and reinstall it, making it impossible to sleep in the bedroom. This pair of guest slippers was worn by him for several days in a row, and not long after he left, Su Xingchuan's body had a problem and ran to the hospital for a few days in a row, so he didn't have a chance to clean up the house and the slippers were left there.

The gray slippers now lay quietly by the shoe cabinet.

It's the same model as the dark blue slippers Su Xingchuan is wearing.

"My friend stayed with me for a few days." Su Xingchuan still couldn't help explaining, "Ordinary friends, these are guest slippers."

Li Xuan obviously doesn't believe it.

He wouldn't wear these.

He didn't say it, but Su Xingchuan could tell.

Li Xuan won't use other people's used ones, Su Xingchuan knows his habits, and that's where the pettiness lies.

Su Xingchuan had to dig out a pair of unopened hotel disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Li Xuan, who wore them.

Su Xingchuan closed the door and walked to the living room to turn on the light.

Li Xuan stared back at the gray slippers, thought better of it, and walked over to them, stomping on them twice before kicking them aside.

Su Xingchuan didn't notice his little gesture and said to himself, "It was only renovated in March this year."

Li Xuan walked into the living room.

The house is about 120 square meters, decorated in the most common modern minimalist style, and neatly arranged. Although Su Xingchuan does not have a cleanliness fetish, he has always been diligent. In the past, when we were in love, Li Xuan was the one who threw things in the front and he picked them up at the back.

Li Xuan made a motionless round, and apart from the pair of slippers at the door, there didn't seem to be any other obvious signs of cohabitation.

Doesn't seem to be a long-term partner, he thought.

was relieved.

But like, even more unhappy.

Su Xingchuan poured a glass of water and placed it by the coffee table, "Doctor, because of your words, I haven't dared to drink much water these days."

Li Xuan recalled.

Come to think of it, he told Su Xingchuan to hold back from going to the bathroom.

"......"

Su Xingchuan poured himself another glass, the spout against his mouth, and asked with a smile, "Can I drink now?"

Li Xuan twisted his head to ignore him, and half a day later, he slowly popped up again, "Drink more water, and you can also eat a little more pears and bananas."

"Good, it doesn't hurt as much as it did at the beginning in the past few days, but I still have to thank Dr. Li for his excellent medical skills and for not caring about the past."

Su Xingchuan sat on the single sofa to the side, and he spoke politely, as if they were just the most ordinary of doctor-patient relationships. Li Xuan felt his throat go dry and reached for his cup and took a long sip.

"I know you went to graduate school overseas, I think it was the University of Pennsylvania from what your roommate told me, right?"

Li Xuan didn't say anything.

"I don't know what happened later, you didn't contact with your former roommates, and they don't know your recent situation," Su Xingchuan suddenly opened the box, talking non-stop: "By the way, I have contact with a few of your roommates up to now, Li Chongyuan went back to his hometown of Chongqing, and Ye Fei is in the Ye Fei is studying at Beijing Medical University, and--"

"Why are you still in contact with them?" Li Xuan interrupted him.

Su Xingchuan could keep in touch with Li Xuan's roommate, but never contacted him once.

Su Xingchuan shrugged his shoulders, "There's no reason why we have to break off our friendship, there's nothing wrong with having more friends and more paths."

After Su Xingchuan and Li Xuan fell in love, he realized that Li Xuan did not get along well with his roommates, Li Xuan was eccentric and had poor self-care skills, and was unable to integrate into the group life, so he once applied for a leave of absence from the counselor, not wanting to live in the dormitory.

It was Su Xingchuan who persuaded him to come down. Su Xingchuan brought milk tea and snacks with Li Xuan to his dormitory, and after a round of greetings, he got mixed up with Li Xuan's roommates. Su Xingchuan was a good natured person and was a familiar face. When Li Xuan went to the bathroom, he said to his roommates, "As you all know, he's just a kid, I'll take good care of him in the future, and I'd like to ask you to be more tolerant of him."

Although Li Xuan's roommates didn't end up becoming friends with Li Xuan, the last two years of their college life were marked by a much more relaxed and less tense relationship.

All thanks to Su Xingchuan.

Su Xingchuan has a lot of friends and can chat with the sweet potato baker for a few minutes while waiting for a bus on the side of the road.

Li Xuan likes Su Xingchuan and dislikes Su Xingchuan's friends.

He just wants Su Xingchuan to surround him alone.

It was and still is.

Li Xuan said sullenly, "Is it necessary to have so many friends?"

"It's not necessary, but I'm definitely making more friends without my careful and jealous boyfriend."

This poked Li Xuan's pain point, he stood up, his face grim, lifting his legs to go, without saying a word.

Su Xingchuan just sat there and didn't move.

Li Xuan's ears keep ringing with Su Xingchuan's phrase "jealous boyfriend", which triggers a memory from seven years ago and makes him so sad that he can hardly breathe.

He had just made it to the foyer when Su Xingchuan grabbed him back.

There was a whirlwind of heaven and earth.

Su Xingchuan grabbed Li Xuan's arm and violently pulled him in front of him, pressing him against the wall, "Is there a problem with what I said? Someone sent me warnings every day when I was in a relationship, forbidding me to talk to the basketball team, forbidding me to get together with my hairdresser, forbidding me to team up with a girl to do a project ...... Have I slandered you? What are you mad about?"

Li Xuan's eyes quickly reddened.

Su Xingchuan thought jealously, "Has Xu Zhengdong seen him like this? Like an aggrieved muppet cat.

"I think I've done a good enough job," Su Xingchuan grabbed Li Xuan's hand and pressed it to his chest, "If you feel your conscience, am I not good to you? Unconditionally tolerate your little temper, accept all your strange behavior, from the day I recognized my own feelings, I did all the things a boyfriend can do, I dare say, I can afford our relationship, but what did I get in the end? A breakup without a single word of explanation from you?"

Li Xuan's eyes quickly filled with tears.

"Why are you crying?" Su Xingchuan held Li Xuan's face and questioned, "What do you have to cry about? I really don't get it, you dumped me, what do you have to be aggrieved about?"

"Didn't you talk about it too?" Li Xuan suddenly blurted out.

Su Xingchuan froze at his yelling.

"You didn't come back to me after the breakup, and now you're talking to someone new, so who are you to talk about me?"

That's just rogue thinking.

Does a dumped person have to actively beg to get back together and keep his body for the rest of his life to be in a position to question it?

"I'm settling old scores with you!" Su Xingchuan said.

With his shoulders gripped hard by Su Xingchuan, Li Xuan felt his cervical vertebrae aching as he struggled to escape, but Su Xingchuan knew him better than he knew himself, and could almost accurately guess his next move before easily intercepting it and pinning him back against the wall.

"I don't want to count this with you, I want to go home!" Li Xuan said loudly.

He pushed Su Xingchuan away, but Su Xingchuan's embrace was like cast iron and he couldn't push him away. Su Xingchuan was holding him tightly, and the harder Li Xuan pushed, the more he pressed on Li Xuan. Li Xuan wanted to lift his legs, but remembered that Su Xingchuan had just had surgery, so he could only give up.

Su Xingchuan heard Li Xuan's little sob.

Li Xuan cried?

He couldn't bear to see Li Xuan cry.

He just wants to know why they broke up in the first place, and whether Li Xuan still remembers the future they planned together ......

I was just about to soften my heart when I suddenly heard Li Xuan's cell phone ringing.

Li Xuan reacted slowly and took out his cell phone.

It's Xu Zhengdong.

Li Xuan answered, and Xu Zhengdong's voice came out of the receiver, "Xuan, is everything okay at the hospital?"

Li Xuan, agitatedly, said, "It's nothing, there's a very serious emergency coming in, I'll be back later."

He spoke with his head down, as if whispering to Xu Zhengdong, his voice soft and good-natured.

Su Xingchuan instantly understood the context.

Li Xuan got into Xu Zhengdong's car, saw him, and got out of the car with the excuse that he had an emergency at the hospital.

Xu Zhengdong also thought Li Xuan was now in the hospital.

Su Xingchuan thought it was ridiculous.

What is he?

What's seven years?

I don't know which one of my tendons is wrong, or the residual alcohol is on the head, the fire at the bottom of my heart burns, Su Xingchuan without thinking directly pressed Li Xuan's hand, and before Li Xuan reacted, he cupped his face and kissed him.

Lips and teeth intertwined together, Su Xingchuan can no longer restrain.

He forcefully attacked Li Xuan's half-minute of disorientation, and his arm slowly moved down to encircle Li Xuan's waist, taking him onto himself.

Li Xuan's body was always soft, as if it had no bones, and after being rudely manipulated by Su Xingchuan for a few times, he leaned limply against Su Xingchuan's chest, tilting his head back and being forced to bear it, and he put one of his hands against Su Xingchuan's shoulder, but to no avail.

The cell phone call continues.

Su Xingchuan heard Xu Zhengdong shouting on the phone, "Xuan, Xuan, why don't you say something?"

Xu Zhengdong's voice briefly drew Li Xuan's thoughts back.

Dragged into the vortex by another deep kiss from Su Xingchuan.

The phone suddenly cut off.

When the house fell silent, the ambiguous sound between the lips was amplified indefinitely, and Su Xingchuan sensed that Li Xuan was no longer struggling.

Su Xingchuan knew he was really drunk.

He's not ashamed of his behavior, but as much as he's not ashamed, he's excited about it.
