Alone time

“Our alone time?” Wen Xia thought he had heard it wrong.

Lin Feng Qi nodded.

So Wen Xia looked down at the schedule in his hand – at 8:30 on Saturday night, the pet owners would be alone for half an hour.

“What’s the point of this?” Wen Xia asked, “Isn’t this a pet friendship plan? What does it have to do with the owner?”

Lin Feng Qi said, “Animals are sensitive to smells, so I think it is very necessary for us to get along. The smell of each other can help the pets on both sides get to know each other better.”

“Are you serious?”

Lin Feng Qi didn’t say anything, just looked at him calmly, as if he believed in what he said, and that’s what he said from the bottom of his heart.

Wen Xia glanced at Wen Dage in his hand.

“You can temporarily put it back in the room.” Lin Feng Qi said.

“Then why did you ask me to bring it?”

“It has the right to know this schedule.”

“…” All right.

Putting Wen Dage back in the room, Wen Xia went back to the living room: “Then what should I do?”

Lin Feng Qi nodded his chin towards the empty seat beside him, “Sit.”

“Sit next to you?”

“Well.”

Lin Feng Qi was sitting in the middle of the sofa, Wen Xia walked over and sat down, at least two feet away from Lin Feng Qi.

Lin Feng Qi glanced at the distance between the two and said, “Come here.”

The man’s voice was light and commanding. Wen Xia didn’t like the feeling of being called, so he sat without moving.

“…Sit down a little bit closer.” Lin Feng Qi said again.

“What did you do in the past? I’m very comfortable sitting here.”

Lin Feng Qi stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, he said coldly, “You sit too far, and we can’t get each other’s scent on us.” Speaking of which, Wen Xia almost exploded.

He was thinking before, was it that Lin Feng Qi didn’t understand, or that his thoughts were too filthy? What your scent, my scent. Isn’t it too ambiguous?

How did this person, Lin Feng Qi, have no sexual desire on his face when he said this. Does he not have that worldly desire?

It seems… not really.

Lin Feng Qi looked at him without any emotional ups and downs, as if he was finishing a piece of work. Even though it is too indifferent, it shows a bit of integrity.

It made Wen Xia look like a clown with a yellow face.

[yellow face – dirty thoughts]

Mom, the clown is actually me.

Under such a desireless gaze, Wen Xia slowly moved over a little bit: “Is that all right?”

Lin Feng Qi frowned slightly.

Okay, Party A is not satisfied. Wen Xia had to move a little further, at this time there was only one cm left between the two.

But Party A was still dissatisfied, and kept staring at him with those straight eyes without worldly desires. Until the last distance from Lin Feng Qi was gone, the two were shoulder to shoulder, sitting side by side.

At home they both wear home clothes, a single coat, the fabric is neither thick nor thin. Sticking together like this, you can still clearly feel each other’s body temperature.

Lin Feng Qi had just taken a shower, and the shower gel had a mint-flavored lemon fragrance.

When Wen Xia leaned over, he felt his arms stiff.

Wen Xia paused slightly, as if nothing had happened: “Now, what do I need to do?”

At this time, 5 minutes have passed since 8:30. 25 minutes left.

Lin Fengqi: “Wait.” He picked up the magazine at hand and flipped through it.

Just do it and sit for 25 minutes.

Wen Xia thought about it, and simply took out his mobile phone to play with. They each do their own thing, and no one interferes with the other.

The wall clock continues to move, abruptly amidst the audible silence of falling needles. Occasionally mixed with the sound of flipping books.

The smell of mint wafts into the nose. Wen Xia tried his best to ignore it, but the warmth he felt in his shoulders and arms reminded him all the time that there was someone sitting beside him.

His hand playing with the phone stopped involuntarily. Somewhat in a trance he thought, isn’t this the closest he had been with Lin Feng Qi?

Once he got a little closer in high school, Lin Feng Qi would quietly open a little distance. More often, Lin Feng Qi would directly say, “Stay away from me.”

Once they sat together to do their homework. At that time, Wen Xia had already been admitted to the key class, and took a little thought to sit at the same table with Lin Feng Qi. It was evening self-study at the time, and he wanted to ask Lin Feng Qi a question he didn’t know, so he touched his forearm with the back of his hand.

Who knew that Lin Feng Qi immediately retracted his hand, as if he was touched by something dirty.

This action annoyed Wen Xia. You don’t like being touched by me, do you? Then I’m going to touch you.

This time, he directly grabbed Lin Feng Qi’s arm and felt the young man’s muscles tighten instantly, Wen Xia was a little proud.

However, he was complacent for two seconds before Lin Feng Qi said in a cold voice, “Don’t touch me.”

Wen Xia later let go, but he didn’t ask him any more questions.

——But now, after many years, he not only met Lin Feng Qi, but Lin Feng Qi asked for it himself.

Does this count as impermanence?

Just like the young master of the stars holding the moon, he never imagined that he would fall into the quagmire one day, and the first love who used to avoid him like a scorpion would one day say to him: marry me.

Wen Xia’s thoughts were floating around, and he never felt that 25 minutes was so long. He glanced at the magazine that Lin Feng Qi was flipping through—huh? It doesn’t feel right.

His eyes stopped for two seconds until Lin Feng Qi turned another page.

“…Hey,” he raised his elbow and touched Lin Feng Qi’s arm, “Why are you holding the book upside down?”

Lin Feng Qi paused.

Wen Xia looked at him innocently.

After a few seconds of silence, the magazine closed with a “pop”.

“It’s time.” Lin Fengqi said.

“Isn’t there…” 10 more minutes?

Before he finished speaking, the man put down the magazine and got up, and left the living room without looking back.

Suddenly there was no heat source beside him, Wen Xia stared at the clock on the wall, dissatisfied. It was you who made the half-hour plan, and now it is you who left early. Aren’t you too difficult to serve? Grandpa is not happy to do it either.

He murmured and returned to the room, locking the door in revenge.

Closing the door, Lin Feng Qi closed his eyes and let out a long breath. Raising his hand to touch his hot ears, he was a little annoyed.

He walked quickly to the computer desk and sat down, turning on the electric fan. It was not turned off until the heat of the body subsided and the sweat on the back was dried.

Leaning in the chair to calm down for a while, Lin Feng Qi opened the pet friendship plan bound into a book and found October 16th. It was marked next to the column of “being alone with Wen Xia” from 8:30 to 9:00

Too nervous, he didn’t talk to Wen Xia, and the magazine was read upside down.

fail.

Writing down the word “failure”, he showed a disappointed expression.

Ah Mo, who had slept for a while, felt much better, came over and sat down beside his lap, staring at him with a pair of black dog eyes, as if begging for petting.

Lin Feng Qi reached out and touched the black dog’s head, and muttered, “It’s really hard to enhance our relationship…”

The next day was Sunday.

Wen Xia got out of bed a little late today. When he woke up, Lin Feng Qi had already gotten up and walked the dog back.

Ah Mo is much better today, he is willing to eat, and he takes the medicine obediently.

“Are you staying at home today?” Wen Xia asked Lin Feng Qi.

Lin Feng Qi said “um”.

“Okay, then I can rest assured to go out.”

“You want to go out?”

“Yes.”

Lin Feng Qi hesitated, and finally just asked, “When will you be back?”

“Why, what are you doing?”

“I’ll go to the hospital later,” he said.

This Sunday, Lin Feng Qi was usually busy. In the past weekdays, he would go to the hospital after work at night. But there were times when Ye Shixue saw his exhaustion, and she wouldn’t let him go to the hospital on weekdays.

Lin Feng Qi didn’t want his mother to see how tired he was, so he kept going to the hospital every week on rest days.

“What time?” Wen Xia asked, “You have to give me a specific time.”

“Five o’clock in the afternoon.”

“Five o’clock in the afternoon… OK.”

“And…”

“What else? You have to make it clear once and for all.”

Lin Feng Qi was silent for two seconds, “Forget it, it’s nothing.”

Wen Xia hated to talk halfway. He said “Oh”, too lazy to continue asking.

When Wen Xia went out, Lin Feng Qi picked up the pet friendship plan that he had put on the coffee table yesterday and forgot to collect.

Lin Feng Qi’s expression drooped slightly, he stuck the schedule on the corridor wall, reluctantly browsed back and forth for Sunday’s plan several times, and sighed softly.

Today’s plans for the day had to be shelved.

Wen Xia used Wen Dage as an excuse for not going home yesterday, and hurried back today to appease the fragile heart of old comrade Wen Shanhai.

As soon as he entered the room, Wen Shanhai first looked at his hand: “Where’s my son?”

“Your grandson didn’t come.” Wen Xia said.

“Why don’t you bring it?”

“Why would I bring it here when it’s sick?” Wen Xia said as he changed his shoes, “there’s nothing wrong with bothering others.”

Wen Shanhai was unhappy: “Then why are you here? You left the sick cat at home, if something goes wrong again.”

“Don’t worry, someone is watching.”

Wen Shanhai said sensitively: “Who? Is there anyone else in your family?”

“Yanzi ,” Wen Xia lied with a red face and a heartbeat, “I asked him to be a nanny for your grandson.”

Wen Shanhai muttered: “You will be bothering Xiao Zou all day—what about monitoring? I want to see. Look, I haven’t seen my son for a long time, and I feel dead.”

“The surveillance is broken.” Wen Xia continued to lie.

Wen Shanhai squinted at him with a look of disdain and suspicion: “Any inferior product, if you say it is bad, it will go bad?”

Comrade Wen couldn’t tell him, and snorted in disapproval.

But monitoring this matter really reminded Wen Xia. He moved to Lin Feng Qi’s place, but he didn’t bring the surveillance cameras. Although the living room had surveillance cameras installed by Lin Feng Qi, but now Wen Dage stayed in the room all day long, and there were no surveillance cameras in his room.

He learned from Ah Mo, Wen Xia felt that it would be better to keep a monitor in his room.

Well, there is a spare set at home.
