Wen Mingyi thought about it all night. Even when he got up the next morning, he was still thinking about it. He couldn’t think of a reason, so he simply decided to follow what he knew.

For example: Caring for him.

Wen Mingyi looked at the breakfast on the table, picked up the chopsticks and clamped the small fried dough sticks, bringing it from his own plate to Si Junduo’s plate.

Si Junduo looked up.

Wen Mingyi gave him a smile. Took another bun for him, and after considering, peeled a tea egg from his own bowl for him.

“For you.”

Si Junduo looked at the tea egg in his hand. He took it, a little confused and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Showing care for you ah .”

Si Junduo glanced at the breakfast on his plate. “Is it because you can’t finish them? To put everything here.”

Wen Mingyi: ? ? ? ?

He was being wronged! Was this how Si Junduo thought of him? To lose even before moving past the starting line!

“Then don’t eat it.” Wen Mingyi stretched out his hand to get the tea egg back.

Si Junduo avoided his reach. “Forget it. I’ll help you eat.”

“It’s because I really care about you!” Wen Mingyi emphasized.

“I see.” Si Junduo perfunctorily agreed, “I understand. You care for me, you’re being considerate of me.”

You know a fart!

Wen Mingyi was angry. He bit into the bun in his hand.

When this plan failed, Wen Mingyi had another. After breakfast, when Si Junduo picked up the plates and went to the kitchen to prepare to wash the dishes, Wen Mingyi immediately offered, “I’ll help you.”

Si Junduo felt something was wrong with him today. “Did you do something you shouldn’t do?”

“No.” Wen Mingyi pretended to be stupid, “ Ge, why do you say that?”

“Otherwise, why else would you say something like helping me wash the dishes? From young till now, the few times you came into this kitchen was all for eating, and nothing else.”

Wen Mingyi self-reflected, and then righteously argued back, “It’s because didn’t let me touch the chopper. When I was young, I wanted to cook for you, but you didn’t agree at all.”

“I wanted to agree. But when you came up, you immediately cut your fingers. Can I still agree?”

“Isn’t cooking like this? Who won’t be hurt when cooking for the first time?”

“Me.” Si Junduo answered steadily.

Wen Mingyi was dissatisfied. “Don’t always compare everything with yourself. After all, you don’t belong to the group of normal people.”

He walked over, picked up a dish, squeezed the detergent, and started to wash the dishes.

Si Junduo looked at the movement of his hand, his eyes filled with suspicion. “You really didn’t do something you shouldn’t do? You tell me honestly, I am not angry.”

“Of course not!” Wen Mingyi puffed up.

Si Junduo changed his mind. “Then, do you need my help?”

“No.”

“Really?”

Wen Mingyi couldn’t wait to knock his head with the plate in his hand. “I just care about you, nothing more.”

“That’s it?”

“Otherwise? What else can I do?”

“You’ve helped me wash the dishes. You truly have nothing on your mind?”

Even if I have, I won’t tell you! Wen Mingyi gritted his teeth. “You are so annoying.”

Si Junduo sighed. “When you do want to tell me, find me any time. There’s no need to be prideful.”

“Impossible. There’s nothing wrong. Stop your thoughts.”

Si Junduo smiled; he didn’t believe him at all.

Wen Mingyi rushed to accompany him to finish washing the dishes and helped him clean up the kitchen before asking, “What are you going to do after this?”

“What do you want to do?”

Wen Mingyi thought for a while. His eyes lit up. “Let’s go to the movies, I’ll treat you. We can head to the private theater opened by your former friend.”

“Can’t it be done at home?” Si Junduo asked him. “Because we still have to head out. At this time, I don’t know if he is open or not.”

“Then let’s go to the cinema. I will clean up here. We can enter late and leave early.”

Si Junduo thought it was strange. “Why do you suddenly want to watch a movie? Which one do you want to watch?”

Wen Mingyi asked back, “Whichever you want. My treat.”

“I have nothing I want to see lately.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

Si Junduo crossed his arms. “Ming Ming, why don’t you instead talk about what you want to do today? You help me wash the dishes and invite me to watch a movie. What do you want to do?”

“I’m showing my care about you.” Wen Mingyi blinked. “Showing my exceptional care for you.”

Si Junduo felt that his didi was hiding some little secret in his heart.

“Okay, let’s watch the movie. Go and wash up.”

Wen Mingyi nodded quickly and quickly ran back to his room. Si Junduo took the opportunity to call Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was currently climbing the mountain with Song Shuhan. Though Song Shuhan looked petite and feminine, she could climb the mountain rather quickly, and even find spare time to take selfies of herself.

He was planning to sneak in a bunny ear the next time Song Shuhan took a selfie when he heard the phone ring.

Li Yuanqing saw it was from Si Junduo. Trouble was here.

What did Wen Mingyi do?! Why would Si Junduo call him now! Did Wen Mingyi not only do it, but also rat him out?

Wen Mingyi, you traitor!

Li Yuanqing told Song Shuhan he needed to answer a call, walked a few steps up, and connected the call. “Xuezhang.”

“Has Ming Ming gotten into any trouble outside recently?”

Li Yuanqing: ? ? ? ?

“No. Hasn’t he always been with you?”

“Then, is there anything he needs my help with lately?”

“Should you not know this better than me?”

Si Junduo wondered about it. “He didn’t tell you both about it?”

“What’s wrong?” Li Yuanqing asked. “What’s up?”

“It’s nothing, Ming Ming has been weird today.”

“Why is it weird?”

“Nothing. Just forget it if you don’t know, don’t tell Ming Ming about this.”

“… Alright.”

Li Yuanqing hung up the phone, wondering what this young master did. Why would Si Junduo think that he was in trouble outside? Damn it! Don’t tell him Wen Mingyi realised something, ran home and avoided Si Junduo. Hence Si Junduo thought he was in trouble? !

Li Yuanqing felt this was really possible. There was nothing Wen Mingyi wouldn’t do!

He had to call Wen Mingyi again, “Where are you now?”

Wen Mingyi answered the phone while choosing clothes for himself. “At my ge ’s house.”

“Not running away?”

“What running away?I haven’t done anything wrong.”

“Then what did you do today?”

“There’s not even any time for me to do anything yet!”

“Listening to you say these, what do you actually plan to do?”

Wen Mingyi: “Hehehe.”

“Don’t hehehe anymore. What do you plan to do?”

“Not doing anything, ah .”

“Wen Mingyi!” Li Yuanqing sharply yelled.

“Really not do anything. Just watching a movie.”

“That’s it?” Li Yuanqing was suspicious.

Wen Mingyi nodded his head. What else could he do? Although he was a beast in his heart, he was still very simple on the surface. He had to maintain his innocence.

“I’m hanging up. You play with Han Han. Bye bye.”

Li Yuanqing stared at the phone. So what is the situation now? Wen Mingyi didn’t do anything yet, but why did Si Junduo think like that? Wen Mingyi must have concealed some information. Forget it. Later when he returned home at night, he would talk about it again.

Li Yuanqing put the phone back in his pocket. Song Shuhan saw him put the phone away and walked up the steps to his side. “Have you finished the call?”

“En, it was from Xuezhang, Si Junduo. We were from the same high school, so I call him xuezhang . He wanted me to bring you out to play and also to make sure you’re safe.”

Song Shuhan didn’t expect Si Junduo would specifically call Li Yuanqing to talk about this. Truly looking cold-hearted yet bearing a warm heart. She nodded her head earnestly. “Oh.”

“Let’s head up then. Just now, you didn’t hang up the phone, so I was too embarrassed to come over.”

Only then did Li Yuanqing understand what she meant by the phrase “you finished the phone call” just now. Song Shuhan was standing under the steps, not because she had not finished taking her selfies, but was waiting for him to finish the phone call. Because he specifically walked to a place some distance away from her to answer the phone, she subconsciously thought that she couldn’t listen in to the call. Therefore, she did not come over until she saw that he put away the phone.

She was really, really considerate.

“Let’s go,” Li Yuanqing said.

Song Shuhan nodded happily, and didn’t forget to ask him, “The history you’ve just said hasn’t ended yet. What happened after that? Continue talking ah .”

Li Yuanqing had no choice but to continue telling the historical events.

Song Shuhan kept calling out to him as she asked him questions. Upon getting the answers, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. As expected of a professional, knowing so much more than her.

Wen Mingyi changed his clothes, put on a pair of sunglasses, a hat and scarf and went out.

Si Junduo had already been sitting in the living room waiting for him. Seeing him coming down, he got up and walked out to the garage together.

The two got into the car together. Wen Mingyi took advantage of the free time on the road to take out his mobile phone and search for the most recently released movies. Reading out the names as if he was reading the names of dishes. “Which one to watch?”

“Either way, you can pick one.”

“Then let’s watch a romance movie,” Wen Mingyi replied and glanced at him sneakily.

Si Junduo didn’t change his expression – his face indifferent. “Okay.”

Wen Mingyi sighed silently. As expected, his ge was too pure to get his hint at all!

He bought a ticket while complaining about it. After arriving at the mall where the movie theater was located, he waited in the car with Si Junduo before the movie started.

Si Junduo followed Wen Mingyi into the movie hall, only to find out to his surprise that Wen Mingyi had actually bought a couple room!

Si Junduo squinted at Wen Mingyi.

Wen Mingyi blinked innocently. “The seats are comfortable.”

Si Junduo: …

Si Junduo’s heart was a little complicated, his mood fragile.

He steadily sat next to Wen Mingyi. Wen Mingyi glanced at him secretly, seeing that his expression was still unchanged, he quietly approached and sat closer to him.

Si Junduo: …

Then, he saw Wen Mingyi holding the bucket of popcorn and asking, “Do you want to eat?”

“No need.”

Wen Mingyi “oh”-ed and started eating popcorn while watching a movie.

Ten minutes after the movie started, Wen Mingyi realized that he didn’t come to the cinema to watch the movie, but to get close to Si Junduo!

The care shown in the morning was obviously ineffective, so he had to resort to the second trick to get close to him. Yet he almost forgot! What a mistake! What a mistake! He was such a novice player!

Hence, Wen Mingyi picked up his popcorn, raised his hand, and fed the popcorn to the mouth of Si Junduo.

Si Junduo: …

“Open your mouth. I’ll feed you.”

Si Junduo: …

Si Junduo silently took the popcorn from his hand. “I eat it myself.”

This was totally not like a gay! Wen Mingyi pondered deeply. His ge was too much of a straight man! This kind of steel-like straightness!

Wen Mingyi had to take a few more and feed him again.

Seeing that he would not give up until he was fed, Si Junduo had to open his mouth to accept Wen Mingyi’s feeding. At the same time, he reminded this student, “Watch the movie properly.”

Wen Mingyi: …

Wen Mingyi thought he should look at Baidu on how to pursue straight men, especially those who could not read the atmosphere.

He bitterly ate a handful of popcorn. Then he thought of something. He told Si Junduo, “I’m sleepy. Let me sleep on your shoulder for a while.”

“This movie has just started.”

“But I’m sleepy,” Wen Mingyi said coquettishly.

Si Junduo could not refuse him. “Alright. Sleep then.”

Wen Mingyi immediately put aside the popcorn and leaned on his shoulder.

Then… There was no more then.

Wen Mingyi pretended to sleep for a long time, couldn’t help but secretly opened his eyes and took a look. He saw that his ge was watching the movie intently. What’s so good about this broken piece of movie! Shouldn’t he be watching him at this time!

Was he so unattractive to Si Junduo? Not as good as a spicy chicken movie?! 1 Ie. trashy movie.

Wen Mingyi straightened up. Si Junduo felt his movements. He asked, “Not sleeping anymore?”

The author has something to say:

Gong and Shou are not related by blood, neighbor gege , neighbor didi , called gege or didi because of courtesy~

Ming Ming: Not sleeping anymore! So mad! A straight man acting gay reporting!

Ge Ge: I always feel that today’s Ming Ming is very strange!

It’s 00:00, and the second update is not finished. I’m going to bed first. The second update will be posted before 3 pm today, thank you~~
