Cāi Cāi - Chapter 66

Episode 8 “Cats Who Want to Become Human” 10

The small rectangular box holds the sincere heart of a boy.

But Xiang Gu stared at the box, but he saw not just a sweet candy, but the promise he couldn’t give under the sugar coating.

Everyone around was applauding, they shouted, “Promise him, promise him!”

Xiang Gu was surrounded by smiley faces. A red banner hung on the wall behind them, which read “Friendship first, competition second! Welcome the seniors of the provincial team to come to our school for guidance.”

There are only a few of them in the whole gymnasium, but the enthusiasm that spreads out has to fill it up.

Xiang Gui was also burned by this enthusiasm.

He stared at the silver key, a voice in his heart kept saying-accept it, accept him, are you willing to make Cen Manchuan ugly in front of so many people? He chose to make a promise to you at such a monumental moment. Don’t you understand how much he valued you? He doesn’t love you, he just uses the wrong method, he is still young, and you can spend a lifetime with him growing up …

Xiang Guai was bewildered by the voice.

He reached out, his fingertips getting closer and closer to the silver-white key, and the light in Cen Manchuan’s eyes grew brighter.

——The next second, Xiang Guai’s fingers crossed the Jin Box, directly holding the basketball boy’s wrist.

Don’t look at Xiang Gue very thin, in fact, he has great strength and can easily hold up his female dancer.

Unexpectedly, Ceng Manchuan was taken aback by him and stood up subconsciously.

“Follow me.” Xiang Gu whispered softly, then clenched his lover’s wrist tightly, and led him towards the lounge.

Cen Manchuan was stunned by him. He felt that Xiang Guai’s face was a bit wrong, but when he looked down at the hands that they had clasped, he thought he thought more.

On the court, the young people watching this scene were stunned. They were still holding their mobile phones, looking left and right, with a blank expression.

Several basketball players whispered to each other and asked each other, “Is this promised or not?”

“It must have been promised. His subject was shy and the captain and their young couple estimated that they would ‘communicate’ in private.”

“I rely, you are disgusting, I have pictures!”

A few boys talked and laughed, and drunk jokes that boys of this age loved to say.

Instead, the girlfriends standing on the sidelines exchanged anxiety glances that only girls understand.

…

This is the first time Xiang Gui walked into the basketball team’s lounge.

The big body is the home field, and naturally the home lounge is also used. Rows of lockers stand against the wall, beside them are two rows of resting chairs, and a mobile blackboard for coaches to write and draw. Because it was the graduation season, there were many decorations on the wall, balloons, banners, colorful flowers … The photo of the basketball team’s photo was hung in the middle of the wall. In the photo, Cen Manchuan stood in the front row, and he held a golden trophy with both hands. Everyone crowded.

Xiang Gui stops here.

He turned to look at Cen Manchuan, and the boy stubbornly held up the small box. Each of the two keys was a round key ring, like a ring.

Cen Manchuan leaned over and pressed him on the photo poster that was magnified many times. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss him.

The big boy grunted from his throat and said vaguely, “Guess, I …”

Without waiting for their lips to overlap, Xiang Gu suddenly held his shoulder, and then pushed him slowly but firmly.

“Manchuan,” Xiang Gu looked up at the lover who never grew up, and said softly, “I’m sorry.”

“…?” Cen Manchuan froze.

Xiang Gu repeated again: “Sorry, I can’t live with you.”

“…” Cen Manchuan’s throat knot rolled, like a lost puppy, innocent and pathetic. “Why?” He asked puzzled, “Did you find someone else?”

Shake his head at Guess.

His eyes were full of apologies. That sentence lingered in his throat, he knew that he had a sharp blade in his hand, and he only needed to make a gentle movement, and this sharp blade would hurt them both.

In the end, he chose to be hard-hearted and be a bad guy. He said, “Manchuan, you are a very nice person, but I …”

The rest was abruptly stopped.

Xiang Guai had too much time to finish the rest of the words, the basketball boy seemed to feel something, his eyes turned red.

Falling in love for three months, Xiang Gu had seen various expressions of Cen Manchuan. But now the mixed expression of loss and pain was the first time Xiang Guai had seen it. In an instant, the sunlight from his body was sucked away.

“You don’t need to say any more.” The smile on Cen Manchuan’s face was stiff: “‘You’re fine, but …’ I’ve heard this sentence many times.”

Each time he was broken up, it was such an opening statement. Cen Manchuan knew what was waiting for him after the turn.

Xiang Guai: “…”

Cen Manchuan looked at him, as if looking at a high-numerical problem that puzzled him-no, at least the math problems that appeared in the textbooks had answers, but Xiang Gui had no solution steps to refer to.

“Why?” Cen Manchuan looked at the small brocade box in his palm. His hands are big enough to catch a whole basketball, but he can’t catch such a small box. “Guess, what am I doing wrong?”

He racked his brains and remembered every bit since three months: “Did I fall asleep because I watched a musical? Is it because you didn’t like that I had many girlfriends before? Or because of the time I spent with my brothers Too long to ignore you? “

He said a lot of reasons, but none of them really care about Xiang Gu.

He fell in love with Xiang Gu at first sight. After being shot by Cupid’s arrow of love, he did not even consider the so-called gender issue at all. He has never pursued a person so seriously, and he did his best to guess, but everything he took out was not needed by Xiang Gu.

“Manchuan, the things you said are not important.” Xiang Gu said to him, “I want something else.”

“What else?” Cen Manchuan was even more confused. “I introduced you to my brother, to my teammates, and even rented a house! I did so much to stay with you, which is not enough. ?”

Shaking his head to Guai: “I never care what people around you think about our relationship, but how you think about our relationship.”

Seeing Cen Manchuan still didn’t understand, Xiang Guai could only hold everything in his heart and tell him one by one.

Xiang Gui mentioned “perverted”, “naturally straight from the boat to the bridge”, mentioned Cen Manchuan’s unplanned expenses, sold motorcycles, and … this court show that scared him more than he was pleasantly surprised.

“Manchu, I broke off my relationship with my family and few friends … you are the second person to break into my world in my lonely life.”

Xiang Guai called his name again: “Manchu, you are not the same as me. When I was in high school, I was sure that I liked men, and you used to associate with girls. You don’t know how difficult the homosexual road is. This is because of the difficulty, so it is necessary to plan well. “Xiang Gu slowly said,” But I can’t see any plan for the future on you. “

The word “future?” Frowned Cen Manchuan’s brow. He looked at the key in his hand. He thought he would pay the rent for several months, which is “future”. But now he has discovered that the “future” that Xiang Gui needs is far beyond his imagination.

“But …” The aggrieved basketball boy argued reasonably, “We are only in our twenties. We can still live at least sixty years. Why should we consider things after sixty years ago?”

“You’re right. You have more than sixty years in your life. You don’t need to think about such a long time.” Xiang Gui looked up at him, reached out and supported his chin, and gently stroked his side, “可My life ended as early as the day of the accident. Every day I spend now is an extra gift from fate. Because it is so precious, I have to step myself Every step you take is clear. “

“…”

“I don’t know how long my life can be, but I know where it ends. I hope that every day I spend is closer to my goal.”

He and Cen Manchuan are like two rays that briefly intersect. They were attracted to each other’s traits that were completely opposite to themselves, but eventually drifted away.

If you can, Xiang Guai really hopes that Cen Manchuan can always maintain this optimistic heart. At the same time, he also hoped that Cen Manchuan could find another person to appreciate, tolerate and spoil his innocence.

As for himself …

Xiang Gui laughed and laughed, he found that someone like himself “overwhelmed” is not suitable for dating.

He is always worried about this and that, it is difficult to go “crazy love” like his peers. And this problem began to show up five years ago.

Xiang Gu opened his backpack and put the letter he wrote into Cen Manchuan’s palm.

“Manchuan, this letter is the last gift I leave to you.” Xiang Guai said, “I like you just like you like me. But a relationship, not just like it is enough.”

The second thing that Xiang Gu took out was a neatly folded basketball vest folded and washed.

Xiang Guai hadn’t worn it yet, but the vest was soaked with his favorite laundry detergent, and the aroma of Xiang Guai was still on it.

Cen Manchuan accepted the letter, but he did not receive the jersey.

He allowed the jersey to slip from between them, fluttering and falling to the ground.

That jersey is exactly the same as Cen Manchuan is wearing now. His name, his number, but it’s much older.

His tears slipped drop by drop. This basketball boy, who had not lost a spot in the game even after losing points, looked at the returned jersey, which has never been so uncomfortable.

With tears in his eyes, he looked down at Xiang Gu and his eyes were red as he passed him.

“To guess.” He shouted.

Stop to guess.

This was the first and last time Xiang Xiang guessed that Cen Manchuan heard him say his full name in that tone.

Xiang Gu didn’t turn around, but only said, “Huh?”

“… I told you,” said the proud and sunny boy. “Every ex-girlfriend who broke up with me, I will ask them if they can continue to be friends after breaking up.”

“…”

“But I don’t want to ask you this.”

“…”

Because I really loved, I ca n’t be friends after I have separated.

This breakup, for Xiang Guai, was like retreating from the sun back into the shadows.

After all, he really liked Cen Manchuan. He had taken sunlight from that boy and was burned by the sunlight on him.

But as a musical actor, he didn’t have that much time to immerse himself in pain. When he stands on the stage, he can only be the person in the play. He wants to laugh, he wants to fall in love, he wants to dance and sing happily.

His skin was visibly thin, and Chen Ziran took the time to watch him rehearse, startled by his thin cheeks.

“… Isn’t it the breakup you mentioned?” Chen Ziran said, “You now look like the one being dumped!”

Shake his head to Guai: “You haven’t been in love, you don’t understand.”

“Yes, yes, I don’t understand. I see you like this, I don’t want to fall in love in my life!”

Xiang Gui followed with a smile: “I don’t want to talk anymore.”

“……what???”

“I’m serious.” Xiang Guai said, “I found that it is too difficult to enter a relationship or leave a relationship. I just want to work hard, and I don’t want to think about things other than work.”

Chen Ziran was frightened, for fear that the old classmate couldn’t think of it because of that emotional problem, and dragged him to take him to eat and drink and relax.

Xiang Gui directly refused: “No, my show is still in the rehearsal period, there is no salary, 30 yuan a day to make up for it, I really have no money to go out with you.”

Although Chen Ziran is a big star, every time they go out to eat, Xiang Guai insists on aa, and refuses to take advantage of the old classmates. At the beginning Chen Ziran still blame him for his talents, but he had no choice but to guess his character. He always invited others, and never let others ask him.

Chen Ziran asked, “Why don’t you have money, aren’t you known as a little money saver? What about a small vault?”

Shrugging to guess: “The small vault is empty.”

“…?”

“My ex-boyfriend sold his car from his parents to rent a house in order to live with me. After we broke up, the house had not been lived for a day, but the black agent refused to refund him …” Xiang Gu said, “I I owe him too much, so I bought his motorcycle again. “

Chen Ziran jumped his feet: “You are really a mallet !!”

After breaking up, they contacted Lao Gao and Mao’s thighs to Guaihuan, scorned them, and asked the buyer’s contact information. He talked about everything and added 2,000 yuan before buying the motorcycle and returning it to Cen Manchuan.

Until that moment, the burden on Xiang Gu’s heart was really put down.

But this way, the small vault in Xiang Gu’s hands almost bottomed out.

Before the musical is officially on the stage and he can get the performance fee, he must be careful to live his life.

When Chen Ziran heard this, he quickly asked him, “What about your renting house? Aren’t you going to move out of the school dormitory at the end of August?”

“I still have the money to rent a house.” Xiang Guai said, “I have prepared three months of rent, but Huacheng has a lot of land and a lot of money. The house near the rehearsal hall is too expensive. “

“If you’re short of money, just speak!” Chen Ziran patted his chest, “My little master, I don’t have much else, just have more money!”

“That’s not necessary.” Xiang Guaixiao smiled, “I’m looking for it slowly, even if I can’t find a nearby house, I can find it if I look far away.”

The two of them were talking and rang to the guessing phone.

The four characters “Intermediate Xiaowu” jumped enthusiastically on the screen.

Xiang Gu quickly picked up the phone.

“Hey? Mr. Xiang, I’ll tell you a good news!” Xiao Wuxing’s gleeful voice came, “I found a house that meets your needs!”

There was the sound of chair moving and walking on the other end of the phone. It sounded as if Xiao Wu avoided the other salesmen and secretly sent him a message.

“Just now, a gentleman came to us to find a room for rent. At first glance, he is a cultural person with good temperament! He is a landlord and wants to rent a second bedroom. The house was just renovated last year and the price is reasonable. But the contract is required to be signed for more than one year! “

Xiang Gu guessing his eyes bright, bet one pay one? This couldn’t be more appropriate for the nature of his work.

However, Xiang recently guessed a lot of houses and realized deeply that “there is no cheap lunch in the world.” If a house has cheap rent, there must be a reason for it to be cheap. The traffic is inconvenient, the decoration is old, and there are too many co-sharers … Xiang Guai doesn’t believe that such a house that blows the ceiling in the mouth of the agency can have no disadvantages.

Sure enough, the intermediary quickly entered the topic.

“Because he lives with the landlord, the landlord has a request—” Xiao Wu laughed. “——He asked the co-tenant to be clean and quiet, and he would occasionally take the company’s guard pets home to take a bath. I hope the tenants will accept it. “

“What gatekeeper pet?” Xiang Guai asked cautiously. “Can it be a large dog? A Tibetan mastiff?”

“No, no, no, he said that his pets are gentle, just a little ugly.”

“… Go ahead, I’m ready.”

“I wonder if Mr. Xiang is afraid of lizards?”

“…” Xiang Gu guessed the small vault that was getting thinner and replied, “If the rent can be reduced by another three hundred, I’m not afraid.”

The author has something to say: Goodbye, Manchuan.
