Chapter 21 The Third Arrow
Xia Yu seemed to believe it, dusted off the cigarette ash, and said, "It's normal to be stressed, after all, it's such an important exam...but don't push yourself too hard."
"Brother Xia Yu," Cupid reacted and hurriedly asked, "Are you comforting me?"
A trace of shyness quietly appeared on Xia Yu's face, and he twisted the cigarette butt in the discarded flower pot, and said: "Whatever you think."
Turn around and leave after speaking.
"That's comforting me!" Cupid smiled, and followed Xia Yu's footsteps back indoors, "You must be comforting me, that's what I think... Brother Xia Yu, why are you so considerate?"
Xia Yu got into the bathroom, and the voice came from the crack of the door, saying, "Get out!"
As a routine before going to bed, Cupid turns on his mobile phone to browse the group chat to learn about the latest developments in community isolation, and by the way...see if there is any discussion about summer taro.
Fortunately, everything is calm, there is only some information about borrowing and exchanging items, and there are traditional prayers and building buildings hoping that the epidemic will go away as soon as possible and the quarantine will end as soon as possible.
Just when Cupid was about to turn off his mobile phone and go to sleep, a photo suddenly popped up in the dialog box. In the picture, he and Xia Yu were standing side by side on the small balcony, but the person who sent the photo was not the head girl who admired Xia Yu.
Judging from the avatar, the person who secretly took the photo was probably a man, and the next text message is more proof:
[I advise you little girls to be okay, don't be tempted, at least you should first find out whether your brother is straight or crooked, right? 】
Hey——Cupid is not happy, does this person know Xia Yu?Has he talked to Xia Yu?Does he know what Xia Yu is doing and who has he liked?
How can you infer someone's sexuality based on such a clear picture?
After that message, a lot of messages rolled out of the group, most of which came from men.
[I also saw that day, the two of them hooked up shoulder to shoulder, it's not innocent at first glance! 】
【Hey, isn't that Grandpa Qiu's little grandson? This guy is quite resourceful. 】
The man who issued the photo became interested and asked questions one after another:
[Little grandson? 】
【Are you an adult~】
[Is it still too late to call the police? 】
Several "hahaha" came out of the dialog box.
Someone went on to say: [Maybe it is voluntary? ], [I don’t know who will go up and who will go down between them...]
Cupid was furious and ran away in the room: "I'm begging crazy, I just made it up here based on a single photo!"
After the quarantine is over, the first thing is to come to your door and beat you hard!
But after all, this is just an angry talk, and we still have to find a way to solve the problem.
Cupid saved all the screenshots of the discussion about Xiayu, and edited a paragraph to warn them that they will be held accountable for "spreading rumors and violating others' privacy" after the quarantine is over.
After a brief refresh, some voices defending Xia Yu appeared in the group.
[It doesn't seem like a big deal, how can you think of going in this direction, the isolation is giving you a fart? 】
[It is estimated that she was left behind when she was visiting. My mother is still living in Building 6, and the four of them rubbed each other every day. Ma...]
[Some treasures...]
Qin Tian also joined the discussion:
[The one who posted the photo is from Building 4, right?I know who you are, I advise you to think twice before speaking! 】
[Everyone is a neighbor, there will always be a time to meet after quarantine, don't make it too ugly. 】
[I know the little boy in the picture, and he borrowed his online class!He is handsome and kind-hearted, this kind of person attracts envy wherever he goes]
【Subway Old Man.jpg】
The man who posted the photo was anxious: [Who is jealous, ladies and sisters just like taking pictures, and I am jealous when taking pictures? 】
Qin Tian replied: [Laughing to death, do you also have a crush on him? 】
【Xiao Yueyue Shocked.gif】
The group was quiet for a while.The head girl went online and said by name: [Hu Rong, you are endless, you have teased so many little girls in the group, you have to hang you out before you can stop, right? Look, there is someone who cares about you ? 】
The group leader Tiantian came out to uphold justice: [The original intention of this group was to shorten the distance between young people and relieve everyone's boredom during the isolation period.Originally, I thought I would be more free because we were all young people, so I didn’t want to let everyone’s real names…]
[This kind of thing happened today, as the group owner, I blame myself.In the future, please send the self-inspection results directly to the community group. Members of this group please consciously change the group nickname to the building number-room number-name; those who do not obey can voluntarily leave the group, or wait for me to manually remove it tomorrow. 】
As soon as this remark came out, the group members were reduced from the original 83 to 66. Except for Xia Yu, the rest obediently changed the group nickname.
Cupid couldn't fall asleep anyway, and continued to pace the room while holding his mobile phone, thinking whether to tell Xia Yu what happened just now.
Xia Yu probably doesn't care about these things, he has never cared about gossip, he can even be indifferent to his own life...
But this time the rumors are indeed a little more sensitive. Xia Yu already knew about his sexual orientation, so it would probably be troublesome to have such a rumor with a guy who knows he is gay?
Xiayu...would it be disgusting?
Bang——Suddenly there was a sound in the living room, followed by fine noises. Cupid ran out in a hurry before he had time to think.
The floor lamp next to the sofa was still on, and Xia Yu sat on the sofa with a stunned expression.
"What's the matter?" Cupid strode forward, knelt down and looked at Xia Yu up and down, "Did you fall, or did you hit something?"
Xia Yu's face turned pale, she pursed her lips and said, "No, nothing."
"Why is there such a big commotion when it's nothing?" Cupid asked him, looked left and right, and saw a pile of books spread out on the coffee table, and Xia Yu's cell phone was on the corner of the coffee table, about to drop.
He rescued the phone and murmured, "What were you doing just now?"
Inadvertently, Cupid's fingertips touched the phone screen, and Xia Yu's voice came from inside.
"I'm Xiayu, today is the 11th day of my home quarantine..."
"Don't move—" Like a frightened rabbit, Xia Yu hurriedly snatched the phone back from Cupid's hand and stuffed it under her pillow.
Fortunately, the video is not long. After Xia Yu finished speaking, there was a sound, the sound of books collapsing and mobile phones falling.
Cupid blinked his eyes, thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand what Xia Yu was doing just now.
The old house was silent, and even the sound of the rain outside the window became inaudible.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Xia Yu rubbed her hair, trying to change the subject.
"I can't sleep..." Cupid was about to say more, but suddenly found that Xia Yu was wearing a white shirt, and it didn't look like he was going to sleep at all.
Combined with the voice from the phone just now, he guessed that Xia Yu was recording a video for some important person...
It's really strange, now that technology is so advanced, it's enough to make a video call to connect with each other. Why do you want to record a video?
Could it be that the audience of the video is an elderly person who does not know how to use a smartphone?
At this moment, Xia Yu's cheeks were very red, and she pursed her lips in embarrassment as if she had been caught in some scandal.
Facing such a person with a strong sense of boundaries, Cupid didn't expect to hear his explanation at all, he just turned around, simply put together the scattered books on the coffee table, and said good night to Xia Yu.
I'd better wait until tomorrow morning to tell him what happened in the group...
"Cupid," Xia Yu interrupted his steps, and asked, "I'm recording a video in the living room, will it disturb your rest?"
Cupid looked back, only to see Xia Yu sitting on the sofa, looking up at him, "I recorded it once in the bathroom, Ashley said the lighting was poor and the radio was not good, so let me re-record."
Cupid doesn't know who this Ashley is, but since Xia Yu explained it, he feels that it doesn't matter who Ashley is.
He looked around the somewhat dim living room, one side of Xia Yu's face was lit up by the orange side light, while the other side looked a little shadowy.
"If you are shooting videos now, the light is not good..." Cupid analyzed, "I am afraid that I will not sleep, so I may not dare to speak loudly."
Xia Yu bit her lip, looking distressed, "I just want to express that I'm doing well..."
"Well then," Cupid suggested, "I'll help you take pictures tomorrow morning!", "The light is good in the morning, and the energy is good. You can present a refreshing and relaxed look!"
"Refreshing and relaxing?" Xia Yu was thoughtful.
Yes, the cramped bathroom or the dark night all have some dark and hidden meanings.Although this is the normal state of his life, if he wants to prove that he is doing well, he has to put on a more or less positive appearance.
It's such a hassle to be cared about!
In the early morning of the next day, Cupid fetched the breakfast that Auntie Qiu had prepared for them both from the corridor, put it on the table and put it on the table. After waiting for a long time, Xia Yu came out of the bathroom.
There is no sound of water inside, what is Xia Yu dawdling about?
Cupid changed to sit on the sofa, flipping through the chat records in the group last night, thinking about what to say later.
The bathroom door finally opened, and Cupid sat facing the door and looked up.
Xia Yu is wearing the white shirt from last night. It fits just right. There are no creases on the fabric. It seems that it has been ironed on purpose?
Moving his gaze upwards, he froze immediately.
The skin around Xia Yu's lips has become delicate, with only a light layer of blue - without the cover of messy stubble, the facial contours are clearer and more handsome.
Xia Yu crossed her arms and subconsciously bit her lower lip.Without the protection of his beard, he was unscrupulously betrayed by his expression.
He is nervous, apprehensive, and at a loss, like a pure and agile Prince Bambi.
Cupid swallowed dryly, and blurted out an admiration: "Wow——"
--------------------
The author has something to say:
The conversations in the group are a bit watery, but it's necessary, and this chapter has been written a little bit more, to speed up the plot!
Without the beard, now is the summer of pure fishing!But I still like Xia with a beard, and I will let him grow it back later, but it will be a neat and sexy beard~
Cupid, you are lucky!
