Chapter 1
In this world, there are many things worth worrying about.
Like the aching brain after a hangover.
For example, lack of sleep is not the boss who forces you to work overtime.
Like a phone ringing hoarsely that can be heard through the door.
Ye Lan maintained a distorted posture, her feet without changing shoes were still standing on the carpet in the entrance, and her upper body threw herself towards the cordless phone that kept ringing at the corner of the table.Fortunately, the room is not big, and the only table that serves as both a dining table and a desk is only one meter away from the entrance.He stretched his body to the limit, successfully captured the target, pressed the connect button, and let out a breathless "Hello".
The moment the connection was made, Fan Yue's roar that could destroy the world came from the receiver: "Why don't you answer the phone! Ah! Why! I have to worry to death, okay! Okay! I beat you for hours! Make it! Make it! Do you feel the feeling of calling the same number for hours and no one answers! Let me tell you, I didn’t make it before! Now I make it! I can tell you how it feels right now! Do you want to hear it? Want to? You..."
Ye Lan extended the arm holding the phone, away from the noise as much as possible, and bent over to put on slippers.Then, he took out his phone from his backpack, unlocked it and took a look.
267 missed calls.
Ha ha.
Ye Lan casually threw the phone on the table, waited for Fan Yue to take a breath, and quickly finished a long sentence: "I worked overtime today so as not to affect efficiency, the phone was set to vibrate and I put it in my bag, sorry I didn't see your phone You can tell me what you want now."
Ye Lan took a few breaths, but the other end of the phone stopped strangely for a few seconds, and Fan Yue's voice became softer: "Alan, are you okay?"
"What? Oh, you're talking about being drunk? I'm fine, don't worry." Ye Lan pulled out the chair, struggled to press the power button, and let herself collapse on the chair, never wanting to move a finger.
"Ah, that... Speaking of which, you are just looking for scolding. You say that you can't drink too much, why do you have to fight with others? Isn't this asking for trouble? When I went to find you, you drank fragments Right? Remember what happened?"
"I really don't remember... Anyway, I woke up and was on the bed. You sent me back, right? Thank you."
"You really dare to say it! After drinking like that, you are not afraid of being abducted and seduced by you, okay? You actually got up on time this morning and went to work? Are you still working overtime? I am also convinced by you... But to say the least Come back, you usually don’t drink like that, did you get stimulated by something?”
The computer screen lit up, and Ye Lan clicked the mouse to open the browser.Du Niang, who occupied the homepage, automatically jumped out and pushed a bunch of entertainment gossip news.
Ye Lan casually clicked on one and glanced at it, trying to make her tone as cheerful as possible: "Have you read the news? Lao Wan came to the Imperial Capital and went to the Summer Palace. There is also a picture accompanying the news. Some netizens commented: 'Face A lonely old man who can't do anything about civil structures.' Hahahahahaha!"
"What's the matter? Some people met Lao Wan on the subway." Sure enough, Fan Yue was successfully diverted from the topic, put the drunkenness behind him, and excitedly discussed a new topic, "That's intimacy." Touching it is different from taking a look at it from a distance in the Summer Palace!"
"Come on, we're still in close contact." Ye Lan heaved a sigh of relief, and heheed disdainfully, "What if Lao Wan turns the subway into a maglev? I'll ask you if you're afraid!"
He closed You Lao Wan's news page without hesitation, and found a link to Weibo in his favorites.
"Damn it, you suddenly feel so emotional when you say that!" Fan Yue sounded extremely regretful, "I would have known that I would have taken the subway to work these days!"
Ye Lan clicked on the Weibo that she paid special attention to. There was no new Weibo, no forwarding, no comments, only dozens of followers.He pouted, turned off the phone without interest, and switched the phone: "Okay, please drive me your Tesla, thank you."
Fan Yue held his breath in his throat, and after waiting for a long time, he said angrily: "...Your house doesn't have a charging station."
Ye Lan sneered: "Damn, I just can't bear to part with your new Tesla."
Fan Yue seemed to have been slightly hit, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
This hesitating style is not suitable for Fan Yue, he is not so easy to be hit.Ye Lan took the phone away, stared at the caller ID on it, and made sure that the person she was calling was correct: "What else do you need? I'll hang up if I have nothing to do tomorrow. I have to go to bed early today if I have something to do tomorrow."
Fan Yue took a heavy breath, as if to cheer himself up, but also as if he mustered up his courage, and finally hesitantly said: "Um...Alan, did you read the news today?"
Ye Lan paused, looked at the ceiling, and tried to ignore the faint sense of disappointment that there was no update on Weibo: "Aren't I just watching?"
"Then did you read on the news that Lao Wan went to a gay bar last night?"
"He has already come out publicly, don't you know?" Ye Lan put the receiver between her shoulders and ears, turned her head to search for the latest news of "Magneto + Gay Bar", "What's so strange about him going to a gay bar?" Yes? If you want me to go to the UK, I also want to go to the gay bars in the UK.”
No, if I went to England with someone who didn't know my sexual orientation, I might not have the courage to go to a gay bar.Ye Lan thought enviously, I really want to come out of the closet bravely like Lao Wan, live freely, not even the slightest slander in the media reports, only respect and ridicule, praise him for speaking out for gay rights, this is a winner in life!When will I be so strong that I am not afraid of all the gossip?
The sense of loss just now came again, Ye Lan withdrew her hands from the keyboard and slowly rubbed her temples.The body is like a rusted machine, every bone complaining of disrepair.Not only was he tired from working overtime, but also an inexplicable emotion that had been haunting him since a long time ago.
Want to meet that person.
Now, immediately, immediately.
I wonder if he also has the courage.
... However, every ounce of reason reminded him that it was impossible.
Ye Lan turned her gaze from the computer screen to the calendar on the table, and slid her finger back from today's grid.
Tomorrow's Saturday...have an appointment...the day after tomorrow...Sunday...haven't arranged yet.
Maybe try a date?
Pointing her finger at the column on June 6, Ye Lan raised the corners of her lips unconsciously, and seemed to regain some of her lost spirit.
That's it.Anyway, try to find out what he has to say on Sunday, someone has to take the first step, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Lan cheered up, and her tone became much lighter: "By the way, what exactly do you want to say?"
Fan Yue was overwhelmed by his long silence, and suddenly received a signal that he was in a better mood, and quickly replied as if he had received an imperial decree: "Ah? You haven't seen it yet? I thought you had already seen it yourself... I What I want to say is that Lao Wan was secretly photographed when he went to a gay bar, and today's news was exposed."
"Is he a celebrity? Isn't it normal to be secretly photographed? Why, you want to be photographed too?" Ye Lan became impatient with Fan Yue's hesitation. What exactly did this guy want to say?He found a news about Lao Wan going to a gay bar and clicked on it.
"You know, there are not many gay bars in the imperial capital... There are a lot of people in each bar... It is definitely impossible to take a sneak shot of only Lao Wan, right..."
Ye Lan frowned, he had a very bad premonition.Like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, a pair of cold vertical pupils stared at him.
He looked around subconsciously.
It's ridiculous, how could there be a snake in the house?He shook his head self-deprecatingly, almost dropping the phone he was holding.He quickly straightened his phone, wanting to end this topic early: "So?"
"...That gay place, that's the one you went to yesterday."
The news page was just refreshed, and right below the title was a slightly blurry photo.Sir Ian McKellen, who plays Magneto, has silver hair and sits in a corner of the bar in a casual white shirt.Surrounding him was a group of people with different expressions, some with excited faces and some with blank faces. The only thing in common was that they were all separated from the old man by just the right amount of space.
Just in this gap, a man sitting in the back happened to turn his head, and the colored spotlights of the bar shone on his face, showing a strange sense of unreality.
The man's cheeks were flushed with drunkenness, and his eyes were like the surface of the sea after the rain, steaming with moist mist.There is a small mole on the corner of his left lip and on the right side of his face, which is particularly conspicuous on his fair face, like a needle point shooting directly at him, stinging the eyes off-screen.
It is absolutely impossible to admit that this is Ye Lan's own face.
Fan Yue maintained his breathing carefully, trying not to make any extra noise, his voice sounded a little far away: "You probably didn't remember it when you were drunk, Lao Wan had already left when I went, I also watched it today Only the news will know."
He took a deep breath, and said in a heavy tone as if he was the protagonist of the incident, "Alan, I think, you may, have been out of the closet..."
There was rustling interference from the earphones, Fan Yue hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Well, does your mother usually follow the news?"
Ye Lan glanced expressionlessly at the cell phone that suddenly buzzed and vibrated on the table.
Clearly, the fuck is paying attention.
