The corners of the flying skirt were like butterflies, fleeting in a flash.
When the door opened again, the skirt hanging on the balcony had disappeared, as if it were just an illusion of the high school student.
Shou was very nervous. The lights in the living room were warm, the arrangement was cosy, and every corner was filled with his smell. The high school student forced himself not to show the greed of a beast entering a territory and just raised his legs and walked towards the balcony.
The structure of this room was very familiar to the high school student. The whole building was the same. The high school student had grown up here since he was young. So it couldn’t be any clearer to him. An old building, not too tall. If you open the window and flip out, you could climb up along the exposed iron pipes.
It was renovated ten years ago. At that time, the high school student had stood downstairs and had watched the maintenance workers climb up and down.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual with the high school student, shou breathed a sigh of relief. The two stood by the balcony, and shou asked softly, “Can you really go up?”
The high school student hummed in acknowledgement. Shou’s balcony was planted with greenery, a variety of plants, and all of them were thriving.
He grabbed the balcony railing and flipped himself out neatly. Shou’s heart leapt, and he couldn’t help but take a step forward, looking directly at the high school student.
The high school student was very relaxed and said, “Don’t worry.”
Shou was startled and raised his face to look at the high school student. This man was tall and had long legs. He quickly grasped the ornate iron railings of the balcony on the third floor along the pipe. His arms were taut, his wrist bones strong, and blue veins protruded, revealing a burst of masculine and wild power.
The shou was a little scared, but he felt unspeakable envy in his heart. He leaned his head out and looked up at the high school student. The other person stood on the balcony, lowered his eyes, and met the shou’s eyes.
The night was falling, the stars were shining, and there were sounds of human voices and dogs barking in the distance, and a scene of countless lit homes.
In an instant, shou seemed to see the high school student curling his lips, with a youthful smile in his eyes.
Shou’s eyes widened, and his whole body shrank back abruptly. His heart was beating badly, his cheeks were hot, and his ears were buzzing.
The high school student opened the door of the balcony and saw the key he had left on the sofa at a glance.
There was a thermos box on the table, and a note was pressed at the bottom of the box. It was from the high school student’s aunt, saying she had made soup for him and asking him to finish it. She also told the high school student to come over for dinner on the weekend.
The high school student held the note, his face expressionless, and went to the second floor with the insulated box.
The shou’s door was not closed, and the high school student saw the shou still standing on the balcony in a daze. He knocked on the door, and the shou was startled, with a bit of panic in his eyes.
The shou slowly blinked and asked, “You…… What are you doing — —”
The high school student said, “I’m taking my schoolbag.”
“Oh, right — —” The shou looked at the schoolbag by the side, pursed his lips, and said, “Come in.”
The high school student did not refuse and walked in directly. He picked up the school bag and asked the shou, “Would you like some soup?”
The shou was stunned, and the high school student said, “Thank you for today. Sorry for taking up your time. So let me treat you to some soup.”
The shou said hurriedly, “No, no, I didn’t help much.”
But the high school student interrupted him, “You did.”
He put down the insulated box, turned around, and picked up his school bag to leave. The shou saw that the high school student had already walked to the door. After hesitating for a moment, he called the high school student and said in a low and light voice, “Let’s eat together.”
The high school student turned around and looked at the shou.
The shou swallowed and said, “You haven’t eaten either. So let’s eat together.”
The high school student stared at the shou for a long time. Shou almost backed down, but then he heard the high school student say, “Okay.”
