The sound of the rain outside the window gradually faded. Pei Yanyu opened his eyes and saw Han Li smoking outside the small balcony in a daze.The light rain fell on his body, misty, like paint splashed by water.For some reason, Pei Yanyu had an indescribable fear, thinking that Han Li would slowly fade into the dark night rain and disappear.

Enduring the pain all over his body, Pei Yanyu finally got up from the bed and wanted to find Han Li.Unexpectedly, when his feet hit the ground, he stood up unsteadily, and only after his hands left the bed frame, he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Hearing the sound in the room, Han Li turned his head, and the soot fell on the back of his hand.He took a closer look and found that Pei Yanyu was no longer on the bed. He was shocked, and immediately threw away the remaining half of the cigarette and rushed into the room.

Seeing Pei Yanyu who was lying on the ground and struggling to sit up, Han Li's tightened heart relaxed.He didn't go forward immediately, but watched Pei Yanyu crawl back onto the bed enduring the pain.

Because his limbs had been bound for too long, and he had struggled too hard, after Pei Yanyu could move his hands and feet again, he clearly couldn't control them.Han Li came back a long time ago, but he just looked at him blankly and didn't step forward to help.Pei Yanyu's heart was as cold as a balcony that had been drenched in rain all night, and finally sat back on the bed, panting and covered in cold sweat.

His legs were shaking, and the room was dimly lit, but Han Li could see clearly.He was shaking so badly that even the bed made a slight noise.Han Li frowned, watching him sitting silently, only the uncontrollable pain made his voice instead.His breathing was also labored, but the trembling sound almost drowned out his breathing.

Pei Yanyu sat blankly, staring at the floor in a daze.After an unknown amount of time, he tried to open his mouth and make a sound: "Han Li, can you turn up the temperature of the air conditioner?" Can really make a sound.

"Is it cold?" Han Li asked him why he was shivering.

Pei Yanyu didn't understand why, so he turned to look at him and said, "A little bit."

Han Li stared at him coldly for a moment, picked up the remote control on the desk, and turned up the room temperature setting.At this moment, he suddenly heard Pei Yanyu calling him.His hand stopped in mid-air, he put down the remote control, and asked, "What?"

"I won't let you down, but if one day you feel that you've been let down by me, you can destroy me." Pei Yanyu stared into his eyes and took a shallow breath, "Han Li, I love you."

His pupils were deep, and there was a faint light in the depths, shining through the darkness into Han Li's heart.Han Li frowned, but his nasal cavity was sore.It was Han Li's turn to shiver, but it was because of the heat.After a while, Han Li took a deep breath, and when he let it out, it was like a sigh.

"You said that." Han Li's voice was slightly hoarse.

Pei Yanyu's expression didn't move, as if he had never experienced anything, as if he didn't have a single wound on his body.There was a tired smile on the corner of his mouth, which was extremely gentle.He nodded and said, "I said so."

After hearing this, Han Li let out a sharp breath.He walked quickly in front of Pei Yanyu, bent down and hugged him into his arms.It hurts, Han Li knew it, because Pei Yanyu started shaking again.

But instead of saying a word, Pei Yanyu hugged him back, stroked his back with both hands, and said, "I love you."

Han Li hummed.

Pei Yanyu heard endless grievances in this slight voice, he paused slightly with his hand on Han Li's back, and repeated: "I love you." He never dreamed that one day he would say these words over and over again , even if already covered with scars.

Han Li also did not expect that Pei Yanyu would keep repeating "I love you" to himself.

Pei Yanyu's emotional expressions are often direct and sincere - at least before Han Li learned of Du Weiqiu's existence, but words like "like" and "love" are not like words that Pei Yanyu can say.Han Li thought to himself: I really pushed Pei Yanyu to the point where there was no way out.

From the beginning to now, Pei Yanyu has confessed to him more than once.But Han Li recalled that he never said anything to Pei Yanyu once.Although Pei Yanyu never asked, his expression was occasionally determined and heroic as if he was going to die, and Han Li couldn't help but be moved.

The woman I met in the office building during the day seems to be Du Weiqiu's wife?Thinking of the indignation and disdain in her eyes, Han Li was still puzzled.

The woman's expression was full of affirmation of something, and Han Li guessed that maybe she knew something he didn't understand, so she showed that kind of mockery of the truth.

Did Du Weiqiu and Pei Yanyu really have no relationship other than friends?Thinking of this, Han Li frowned.

But he shook his head to get the thought out of his mind.

Even if they really have something, it's the past, and it doesn't make sense to keep dwelling on the past.Even if the relationship between him and Pei Yanyu is built on the foundation formed by that period of past—Han Li's heart is broken again, and what he wants to build now is a completely different building. He chooses to believe in the present that Pei Yanyu gave him.

After buying the medicine from the pharmacy, it was already dawn on the way home.

Han Li passed by the noodle shop and found that the shop, which had been bustling in the past, was about to open.

At this time, Pei Yanyu probably hadn't woken up when he went back, so Han Li waited for a while, and bought the first two bowls of pot noodles in the morning.

In the cool morning after the rain, you can see sparrows chirping on the telephone poles everywhere.

This was the sound that woke up Han Li and Pei Yanyu almost every morning.

When Han Li returned home, he found that the light in the bedroom had been turned on. He called in and asked, "Are you up?"

"Well, I'm awake. Where have you been?" Pei Yanyu's voice came from inside.

Han Li changed his shoes and saw Pei Yanyu leaning on the bed with his hair sending messages when he entered the room. He asked without answering, "Why is it so early in the morning..."

Pei Yanyu looked up and saw that he was carrying two bowls of noodles, dropped his phone in surprise, got out of bed and asked, "Going to buy breakfast?"

"Huh?" He signaled to Pei Yanyu that there were still questions he hadn't answered.

"Oh, my dad called me last night, but I didn't answer." Pei Yanyu scratched his cheek, "I just called back and found out that my mother ran away from home. I was sending a message to my mother."

"Run away from home?" Han Li was very surprised when he heard that.

This can be regarded as a family scandal, Pei Yanyu felt very embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly.

Han Li put the noodles on the bedside table, opened the lid, and the room was instantly filled with the aroma of noodles.He saw that the phone on the bed was on again, and reminded, "There is a message."

"Oh, good." Pei Yanyu quickly picked up the phone, sat by the bed and continued to reply Wei Liuqin's message.

After reading his mother's message, Pei Yanyu couldn't help but frowned. He sank, thinking about how to reply.

Han Li picked up the noodle bowl, picked out a small chopstick of noodles and handed it to Pei Yanyu's mouth.

Pei Yanyu was full of thoughts about replying the message, and when he saw the face on his lips, he turned his head in surprise.

Han Li smiled faintly and signaled him to open his mouth with his eyes.

Pei Yanyu opened his mouth and asked Han Li to feed him a mouthful of noodles. The fatigue and hunger in the morning were instantly swept away. He smiled at Han Li and quickly confirmed the content of his reply.

After replying to this message, Pei Yanyu waited for a minute or two, but he still didn't get Wei Liuqin's reply.

Seeing that he was preoccupied, Han Li asked while feeding him noodles, "What's going on?"

Thinking of the reason why the incident happened, Pei Yanyu couldn't help but laugh.He took the noodle bowl and chopsticks from Han Li's hand, started eating by himself, and told Han Li everything he had learned.

It turned out that Pei Yanyu's parents had quarreled again over such a trivial matter.

Just two nights ago, Pei Que, who came home from overtime work, found that there was no food at home. He was hungry and immediately reprimanded his wife, saying that the wife stayed at home and did nothing, and the husband was busy outside until late at night. , When I got home, I couldn't even eat a hot meal.

This time, instead of swallowing his anger like before, Wei Liuqin chose to leave angrily.

She went to her sister's house in Huaniao City. Pei Que didn't see his wife back after two days, so he chose to call Pei Yanyu and ask him to persuade Wei Liuqin.

After communicating with Wei Liuqin, Pei Yanyu learned another truth: the reason why Wei Liuqin didn't cook that day was because Pei Que called home in the evening and told her not to cook, and he would do it after he got home.Unexpectedly, Pei Que completely forgot about this matter after returning home, and instead cursed her for being useless, Wei Liuqin couldn't bear it and chose to leave.

It's a really bad marriage.After hearing Pei Yanyu's narration, Han Li was so slanderous.He could see that Pei Yanyu was also quite impatient with this, and asked, "What did you and your mother say? Persuading her to go back?"

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu curled his lips and handed the phone directly to Han Li.

Han Li curiously took the phone to look at it, and after reading the conversation between the mother and the son, he was speechless——

Wei Liuqin: Yan Yu, I know that the conflicts between me and your father have had a great impact on you over the years, but I still hope that you can seriously consider your own problems.You are a man, what can you do with a man?Mom is for your own good.If you are willing to change your mind, mother will go home now, otherwise, you can serve your father yourself!

This was the message that made Pei Yanyu ponder for a long time. After reading this message, Pei Yanyu took a bite of the noodles that Han Li fed.Then, Pei Yanyu replied: Do you want to divorce him?

Wei Liuqin never replied to this question.

Han Li returned the phone to Pei Yanyu and said, "She probably didn't expect you to ask such a question."

Pei Yanyu raised the corners of his mouth helplessly and nodded.

"She won't want a divorce either," Han Li said.

Pei Yanyu smiled wryly, and nodded again.

Pei Yanyu was born in a very traditional family with a strong legacy of feudal patriarchs. Han Li had already experienced it personally when he first visited.In that family, the traditional ones are not only Pei Que, who upholds the authority of the husband and father, but also Wei Liuqin, who works hard to care for her husband and raise her children. She has spent her whole life in her family. She may have considered countless ways Ease family conflicts, but never consider "deviating" things like divorce.Such a woman is really ridiculous and sad. Thinking of his mother, Han Li thought that Han Xiaolian was a completely different woman from Wei Liuqin.

Pei Yanyu, who was born and raised in such a family, may have spent a lot of courage from the moment he asked him for his phone number.Han Li rubbed his hair, and when he saw him looking at him suspiciously, he smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, let's eat the noodles first. After eating, I'll give you medicine."

"Yes." Pei Yanyu nodded obediently, and picked up the noodles to eat.

After eating for a while, he squinted at Han Li who was also eating noodles beside him, thinking that if Han Li hadn't appeared, how would he answer Wei Liuqin's question now?He probably didn't need to answer this question, because without Han Li, maybe Wei Liuqin would never know that his son liked men.The unrequited love and secret love for Du Weiqiu will eventually come to an end. Pei Yanyu may still be single until now. After graduation, he chooses to find a girlfriend like an ordinary man, get married, have children, and live the life of an ordinary couple.

Because of Han Li's appearance, Pei Yanyu can express his feelings frankly to himself, which is already very happy.He thought it was very daring to propose a date with Han Li at the beginning, but he never imagined that he could be a braver person.

Pei Yanyu sipped the soup off his lips, and kissed Han Li's warm cheek.His skin is delicate and soft, and Pei Yanyu likes the touch of his lips touching it.

"Huh?" Han Li was eating noodles when he suddenly kissed him. Turning his head in surprise, he saw a pair of clear eyes staring at him anxiously, with a shyness of request in his fascination.

Holding the noodle bowl, Han Li slowly approached Pei Yanyu, his breath permeated lightly on his lips, after a while, the kiss fell on his lips like flower petals, and said, "I love you."
