The man was wearing a mask, a blue denim jacket, cropped pants, and a pair of flip flops, standing taller than him. The exposed eyes were beautiful, with thick eyelashes and slightly upturned corners, they were a pair of amorous eyes.
“Thank you”, Yu Qiu was stunned and thanked.
“Are you going north?”.
Yu Qiu said, “Ah”, “Yes, are you too?”
“Yeah,” the man laughed, his voice was clean and magnetic, and his voice sounded very young, “Just drop by. let’s see where I can take you.”
“Thank you.” Yu Qiu thanked him sincerely.
The umbrella was not big, two men were a bit crowded. Seeing that his right arm was covered with water, Yu Qiu said softly, “You don’t need to tilt the umbrella towards me, you’re getting wet.”
“Oh, it’s okay,” the man laughed, “I happened to splash oil on my right sleeve when I was eating Malatang today, so I thought it was washing clothes by the way.”
Yu Qiu raised his hand to wrap his arm around his shoulders. The man was a little tall, and he struggled a bit,”You lean on me, we should be able squeezed together.”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Qiu stepped into a puddle with his right foot, and the water jumped up splashing. The man said “Ouch”, and Yu Qiu hurriedly apologized, “Ah, i’m sorry, I didn’t see it clearly. I didn’t wear glasses when I went out…”
The man smiled and said, “It’s okay, thanks to the flip-flops I’m wearing, I don’t have to clean my shoes. But you will clean your shoes”
The two laughed as if they had discovered something amusing.
After walking all the way, the man didn’t leave, Yu Qiu was puzzled, the two of them reached the gate of community, and Yu Qiu couldn’t help but asked, “Do you live here too?”
“The same to you?”
“…”
“What building is your building?”
“Fifth unit”
“Me too”
Yu Qiu tentatively asked, “Which floor are you on?”
“The eighth floor”
Yu Qiu smiled and stretched out his free hand, “It’s the ninth floor.”
The man froze for a moment, then smiled. Stretched out his hand and they held hands together.
The man’s hand was warm, and he said, “Are you cold?”
Yu Qiu rolled his eyes, “It’s okay.”
“Did you move here recently? I haven’t seen you before.” the man asked.
“No, maybe it’s because I don’t go out often.” Yu Qiu lowered his eyes, his already fair skin became even whiter due to the weather, he bit his lip, and it turned a bit bloody color, “Otaku.”
When he arrived downstairs, the man put away the umbrella, and the water on the umbrella spilled on the ground.
Only then Yu Qiu had the opportunity to take a closer look at him.
He was tall, with a broad shoulder and narrow waist. He looked like he was only in his early twenties. He shook the water off his hands, and the two entered the elevator.
Yu Qiu smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Xuan Yun”, the man smiled, “Xuan who announced, Wen Tingyun’s Yun–What about you?”
“Yu Qiu.” Yu Qiu answered, “The Yu of metaphor, The Qiu of Autumn.”
On the eight floor, Xuan Yun just stepped forward, slipped, and the threw the slippers flying out. With a “pop”, the slippers laid quietly in front of his door.
“…” Yu Qiu couldn’t hold back, and laughed “puchi”.
Xuan Yun’s fair face flushed a little, he hopped on his shoes, held the door and said loudly, “See you next time.”
“Okay,” Yu Qiu smiled, “Thank you very much today.”
“It’s okay.” Xuan Yun didn’t take off mask, but there was a smile in his eyes, “You can treat me dinner when you have time.”
“Good”.
