Opposite shore

Chapter 8

Zhou Xuyin's vacation is over, and she will continue to study abroad.Before leaving, they sent Zhou Xuxing a pastry made by their father and divided it into two parts, saying that the other part was for Chen An.

"Chen An moved out." Zhou Xuxing said lightly.

Zhou Xuyin had a look of disbelief, "Why?"

Zhou Xuxing didn't answer directly, and seemingly casually opened the snack box that Zhou Xuyin brought, "Have you forgotten, last time he came to deliver the things and then moved away."

Zhou Xuyin still didn't understand, "I thought he was on a business trip that time."

Seeing Zhou Xuxing's reluctance to say more, Zhou Xuyin began to feel strange, "Are you bullying others?"

"How is it possible?" Zhou Xuxing was speechless, "He left without saying a word. What can I do?"

"Didn't you ask him why he left?"

"I asked," Zhou Xuxing cherished his words like gold, "the reason is very complicated."

"All right," Zhou Xuyin stopped asking, and added unwillingly, "You can't even tell me."

Zhou Xuxing thought for a while, "It's not easy to say."

"Forget it," Zhou Xuyin waved her hand, "It's fine if you didn't bully him." She picked up an orange on the table and peeled it, "I wanted to see Xiao'an before I left, but now I can't. "

Zhou Xuxing put the cakes into the kitchen, "It's okay, as soon as the delicious ones arrive."

Zhou Xuyin threw the orange peel at him, "Hurry up and give it to someone, don't forget it when you get busy."

Zhou Xuxing quickly caught the orange peel and threw it into the trash can, "I know, I know."

Zhou Xuyin was in a daze while eating, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a while she slowly said, "Our parents said at home that day, counting, Grandma Wu has been dead for seven or eight years."

Zhou Xuxing's hands paused, "It's been so long." He murmured.

Grandma Wu is Chen An's grandmother and the closest person around Chen An. When Chen An was in high school, she died in a car accident. This has always been a big blow to Chen An.

"You know how difficult it is for Xiao An," Zhou Xuyin said, "You usually care about him."

"Then he has to let me care." Zhou Xuxing's tone was somewhat emotional, "No one can see how I care."

"Just do your best," Zhou Xuyin wiped her hands with a paper towel after eating the oranges, "He has always relied on you, you should know."

Zhou Xuxing raised his head to look at Zhou Xuyin, and heard her say, "Otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Hecheng University."

Zhou Xuxing cannot deny this point. After Chen An’s college entrance examination results came out, Zhou Xuxing’s family wanted to help him apply for a school, but Chen An didn’t hesitate. One volunteered to fill in Zhou Xuxing's school directly, and was admitted with a score that was much higher than the cut-off.

When Zhou Xuyin was about to board the plane, what she said to him was rare and earnest, "Talk about it if you have any problems."

Zhou Xuxing nodded seriously.

"If you don't talk well, just wait until you get home and get beaten."

And now Zhou Xuxing was on his way home from Chen An's community, and there was a pastry on the passenger seat that was supposed to be delivered to the other party. "If you're beaten, you'll get beaten," he thought angrily, "he's still going back so late with someone else after having a fight with me, I don't think he's very dependent on me."

The pastry that Zhou's father made for Chen An was pulled away when he was less than 100 meters away from Chen An himself, and finally sent by courier in the same city.

Since Chen An added Sheng Gu's WeChat at the bar last time, the other party would send him a few messages to share his daily life every now and then.After discovering that Chen An was not disgusted by this, the frequency of sending messages increased significantly.He even talked to him about such big things as whether the high math teacher asked him a question, or if there was an extra raccoon cat on campus.

Chen An just found it interesting. He has to go to work, unlike Sheng Gu who has so much spare time, so he can only reply from a bunch of messages that are closest to the time. Maybe he will go to work again after replying, but Sheng Gu didn't mind either, except that he would be quiet for two hours after Chen An posted the message "Listen to the class carefully", and he seemed to have endless things to share at other times.

This is very different from Zhou Xuxing, Zhou Xuxing is not the kind of person who usually uses his mobile phone to chatter and send messages when he has nothing to do, he will only send a message to start a short conversation when he has something to do, or call and meet directly.

This made Chen An also cautious every time he sent him a message.For example, this time when he received the pastry from Zhou Xuxing, he first called Uncle Zhou to express his thanks, chatted with Aunt Xu, hung up their phone and thought for a while before sending Zhou Xuxing a message WeChat, say thank you for the pastry, it is delicious.

He hesitated for a while, and then attached a cute emoji.

Zhou Xuxing's response was also very concise, "My dad made it, as long as you like it."

In just eight words, Chen An couldn't help but stare at the screen for a long time, and actually tasted Zhou Xuxing's unique gentle emotions from the lines.

I'm afraid I'm not crazy.Chen An thought almost desperately.

Chen An turned on his phone after get off work that day, and found that Sheng Gu had sent only one message uncharacteristically.

"Are you free this Friday night?"

It has been a morning since Chen An saw the message, and Sheng Gu didn't send any other messages, probably because he was afraid that this message would be pushed up by other messages, or that Chen An would not be able to see it, or he was afraid that he would not be able to see it. no reply.

So Chen An replied to him, "I should be free, what can I do?"

Sheng Gu's news came soon, "This Friday night, our college has a cultural performance, and there is my show. The college gave me two tickets. Can you come?"

Chen An stared at the dialog box and fell into deep thought. Sheng Gu's pursuit of him was timely and gradual, and every decision he made would advance or hinder the relationship between the two.He knows that it is very irresponsible to date someone with his liking for another person, and he can't guarantee that he can get rid of his liking for Zhou Xuxing because of this, but he always thinks by chance, what if ?

"You can keep the ticket for me first, if there is something urgent, I will let you know one day in advance." Chen An replied.

On Friday night, Chen An arrived at Shenggu Academy's cultural performance as scheduled. Shenggu waited at the entrance of the school auditorium, led him to the designated position, and sat next to him.

Chen An was puzzled, "Don't you need to go backstage to prepare?"

"My show is at the end," Sheng Gu said, "I'll watch it with you for a while."

The fact is that Sheng Gu watched with Chen An for more than a while, basically half of the party, until the person in charge of the show called Sheng Gu with a series of fatal calls when there were only 10 minutes left before his performance, and then personally At the end of the game, go to the auditorium and arrest the person before it's over.

The art show lasted for a long time, Chen An was a little tired from watching it, and the show was also going on a boring intermission. He sat up and looked around boredly, and vaguely saw a familiar figure flashing by the aisle.

Before he could take a closer look, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the auditorium. Many people stood up excitedly, and applause and screams swept the entire venue.

Sheng Gu's band appeared.

Chen An also stood up. He looked towards the stage, and saw Sheng Gu holding an electric guitar at a glance. He was wearing a black leather jacket with rivets, and his hair was randomly tied in a small tug at the back of his head, showing a handsome and three-dimensional appearance. The facial features, ripped pants and Martin boots add a bit of ruffian and wanton chic to the whole person.

Chen An heard many people in the auditorium shouting Sheng Gu's name, and Sheng Gu also danced and waved to greet everyone. Chen An couldn't help laughing. Waiting for the show to start.

The repertoire performed by the band was adapted from a very classic old song. The band cooperated very well, and the atmosphere of the scene was very enthusiastic.This time Sheng Gu seemed to be more hearty than that performance of lyrical songs. After the show, he waved enthusiastically to the audience, and he didn't walk off the stage until he was dragged by his teammates to call the curtain.

After the band's performance, the party came to an end. Chen An sat for a while, and a boy wearing a work badge came up to him and said, Senior Sheng Gu asked me to take you to the backstage.

Chen An followed the boy to the backstage. Sheng Gu had already taken off his makeup and changed back into his usual clothes. He was standing in the backstage corridor waiting for him. When he saw him coming, he hurried over, with a look of begging for praise, "Look Is it time for my show? How's it going?"

"It's wonderful," Chen An agreed, "You look handsome too."

Sheng Gu smiled embarrassedly. At this time, several people moving tables passed by them. The backstage corridor was very narrow.

"Excuse me..."

"sorry..."

Chen An and the person who was hit apologized at the same time, and after apologizing, he suddenly felt that the person's voice was very familiar, and when he raised his head, he met Zhou Xuxing's surprised face.

"you..."

"Why are you here?" This time it was Chen An who asked first.

"This party is sponsored by our company. I'll help my colleagues come over to have a look." Zhou Xuxing said, "How about you?"

"I..." Chen An was speechless for a while, and subconsciously looked at Sheng Gu.

The other party also took up the conversation with insight, "I came to see my performance," he said, and naturally put his arms around Chen An's shoulders, "Boss, let's go back first if we don't have anything else to do."

Zhou Xuxing glanced at Sheng Gu's hand on Chen An's shoulder in surprise, nodded, turned and walked towards the exit, and turned back after walking two steps, watching the two enter the backstage lounge.

Chen An absent-mindedly chatted with Sheng Gu in the lounge for a while. Seeing that it was past ten o'clock, Sheng Gu got up and took his coat and said that he would take him home, but Chen An pushed him back. He turned around and asked a boy, "What time is the access control of your dormitory?"

The boy answered honestly, "Ten forty."

Chen An looked at Sheng Gu who was hanging his head because the plan failed, "It's not too early this time."

Sheng Gu had no choice but to stand up and send him to the door, and at the end he did not forget to ask, "Then send me a message when you get home."

Chen An walked out of the auditorium, and was about to take out his mobile phone to call an online car-hailing car. A car parked at the entrance of the auditorium slowly lowered the window. Zhou Xuxing sat in the driver's seat and looked at him, "It's not easy to take a taxi now, I'll see you off go back."

Chen An didn't have time to think about whether Zhou Xuxing had parked the car here on purpose to wait for him. He hurried into the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and whispered thank you.Zhou Xuxing sneered, as if laughing at him for being too polite, and then started the car without saying a word.

This is the first time the two of them have been alone since the last time they broke up. Chen An was thinking about finding a topic to start the conversation when he suddenly heard Zhou Xuxing say in a very subtle tone, "I'll take you home, your man Friends won't be angry."

The author has something to say: Zhou Xuxing: I will take you with me in a small car, your boyfriend will know about it, and he won’t be—jealous——(bushi)
