Chapter 9

The second he received the message, Yu Tian consciously thought, ‘Is it possible that Xu Wenwen’s hobby is to drink coffee?’ First he asked He Ming, then he asked him.

To be honest, he was not too familiar with Xu Wenwen but in high school Xu Wenwen was quite familiar. She could chat with anyone. Yu Tian guessed she was planning to ask all the people she knew a little bit.

Regardless of familiarity, her invitation couldn’t be refused or it might look rude. So the two of them met at a very famous coffee shop in the city center and Yu Tian arrived and silently sweated: “You actually like to drink this coffee, right?”

Xu Wenwen laughed: “Ah ah, I thought it was not so obvious, how do you know?”

“The table in your friend circle is the same as this.” Yu Tian said.

Xu Wenwen gave a long “oh” and said nothing else, just said, “Go in.”

The two briefly chatted about recent events. Xu Wenwen was outgoing and Yu Tian was easy-going so the atmosphere was happy. Xu Wenwen did not mention that she was married, intentionally testing: “You can recognize this place, that means carefully read my circle of friends photos, then do you see, the person opposite is He Ming?”

Yu Tian: “I can see.”

“Don’t use such gossipy eyes, there is nothing between us.” Xu Wenwen stirred the coffee in her cup, “But we can totally start now.”

Yu Tian nearly choked on a mouthful of coffee in his throat: “…… Why are you looking for me to talk about such topics of a bosom friend nature?”

Does he look girly?

“Aiya, you know him so well, you should always understand his situation, right?” Xu Wenwen smiled, said and also extended a finger towards him, while breaking, “dating a few girlfriends? How many girlfriends have he brought home? Is he currently single? Does he have any thoughts about me?”

Not dating. Not brought home. Single. No idea.

Wait, the last one, Yu Tian did not dare to answer.

So he said, “He’s always single, no girlfriend.”

Xu Wenwen showed an exaggerated expression: “My mom, he can’t be gay!”

Yu Tian Tian consciously frowned: “You do not say nonsense.”

It was not that he himself had any rejection of this group. It was just that Xu Wenwen’s fussing attitude makes him a little uncomfortable. Besides, he remembered that He Ming was very sensitive to the word ‘gay’ when he was in high school. No, it wasn’t so fashionable then. It was called ‘homosexuality’ then.

Xu Wenwen stared at Yu Tian carefully then showed a meaningful expression. Yu Tian had goosebumps. He felt that Xu Wenwen had opened up a lot after going abroad: ” Why are you looking at me?”

“Nothing.” Xu Wenwen knocked her chin. “Suddenly I think you are also quite handsome, yeah.”

Yu Tian: “……”

Why did he come out to have coffee with a person he didn’t know well and had to chat with her until now?

He might as well play with Ara at home!

Forget it, Ara was not much fun. And it would only make him frustrated.

“Okay, I won’t tease you. I’ve been abroad for so many years and I’ve had a few boyfriends. So I’ve come full circle and found that the white moonlight is still the best. it just so happens that he’s not married and I’m not married so I want to try to chase him again just like I did in high school.” Xu Wenwen said, her eyes shining like a young girl, “You have to help me ah!”

Yu Tian did not answer.

It was strange. It was almost the same conversation as ten years ago. Yu Tian could ask questions and know everything then but now he could not do it as if he had to give something away.

***

Yu Tian’s next state was a bit muddled.

After meeting with Xu Wenwen. He wandered aimlessly through the streets alone and finally remembered that there was an ancestor at home that he hadn’t fed. Or he might have wandered until 10 o’clock at night.

In winter, it got dark early. The building was dark and the sensor light seemed to be broken. Yu Tian did not care until he walked to the door of his house. Only to find a person standing against the wall.

Yu Tian immediately shivered: “……!”

He Ming said coolly: “It’s me.”

Yu Tian: “I know it’s you ……”

But it was too scary to stand silently like this. Not to mention, Yu Tian was a bit lost at the moment.

Couldn’t say what the reason was.

But since he had arrived at the door, not inviting him would be awkward. Yu Tian took out the key and opened the door. ‘Snap’

The light turned on. Yu Tian turned back and said: “But if you want to come over, why not tell me first?”

He Ming wore a simple white shirt, black pants and an overcoat outside today. He looked much more calm than usual. He smiled, his eyes slightly converging: “You turned off your phone.”

Yu Tian immediately took out his phone to see. The screen was black. He pressed the power button. There was no light. He was a little embarrassed: “It should be a dead battery, automatically shut down.”

He Ming followed him into the house and asked as if he was not interested, “What’s the matter?”

Yu Tian: “Nothing.” After thinking about it, he added, “Xu Wenwen returned to China and had a coffee with me.”

He Ming responded indifferently, without much reaction.

He sat down on the sofa and Yu Tian somehow felt that it was not good to approach him within a one-meter radius. So he moved to the refrigerator: “Can I heat up the milk for you?”

He Ming: “Okay.”

Yu Tian then took a carton of fresh milk to the kitchen.

When he came over with the warmed milk and was about to put it on the coffee table. He heard He Ming say, “Tonight, I may have to disturb you for a while.”

Yu Tian’s hand trembled and the milk almost spilled out.

”

”

He Ming did not seem to notice his abnormality. He reached out to take the milk. Their hands accidentally touched each other. Yu Tian jerked back. He Ming looked at him strangely and continued, “My geyser is broken, I have an appointment to come tomorrow to fix it.”

Yu Tian couldn’t think of a reason to refuse and he couldn’t say no. It was not good to be alone in a room with a man in the dark and windy night, right?

When He Ming went to take a shower, Yu Tian began to figure out where he should put himself.

His house was just a bachelor apartment. Not to mention the guest room there was not even a study. The bedroom sheets were just changed today. They were still clean enough for He Ming to sleep.

The couch was always occupied by Ara. If he fell asleep there then he might be stepped on by Ara till a myocardial infarction. Yu Tian immediately vetoed his own dangerous idea.

The living room could not work. There was the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom left.

Yu Tian took a deep breath and turned around to walk into the bedroom.

Fortunately, the bedroom was not narrow. Yu Tian visually measured. The left side of the bed from the window was about a meter away. It was enough for a person to lie. He moved a layer of padded quilt, took a thin blanket, ready to sleep on the floor with heating tonight.

“What are you doing?”

He Ming’s voice sounded in the doorway of the room. The house was dark. Yu Tian was lying on the floor to make the bed. He heard the words and looked up: “I ……”

He could not go on.

Because He Ming’s appearance at the moment was really a bit ……

His hair was still wet and it scribbled down in front of his eyes. Standing between light and shadow his dark eyes reflected. Creating the inexplicably seductive.

Stop, stop!

What kind of ghostly seduction is this?

He is not a little girl! Facing such a scene and could actually produce such a shameful association?

Yu Tian spit on himself fiercely, maintaining emotional stability: “I’m …… making the bed.”

After saying that, He grabbed his pajamas and rushed to the bathroom.

When he brushed past, He Ming hooked the corners of his mouth meaningfully.
