Shen Mo struggled to move away until the air in his lungs was almost exhausted. The man immediately caught up with him, but softened his movements and kissed him lightly on the lips.

　　The heat in Shen Mo’s body did not subside, but became even hotter. He raised his toes and hooked the man’s foot, saying, “Zhou Yang…”

　　The man took a breath and said, “I am not Zhou Yang.”

　　He hasn’t said this in a long time.

　　Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, and looked at his face carefully. Such a handsome face was indeed the man he spent every day with.

　　How could he possibly make a mistake with such an important person?

　　Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and pounced on him again.

　　But the man held his shoulders tightly and did not let him succeed.

　　Shen Mo looked at him eagerly.

　　The man smiled and said, “You are not well yet.”

　　”I’m not sick at all.”

　　The man was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Shen Mo’s face, he couldn’t help but raise his hand, touched the corner of his eye, and slowly swept his thumb across his eyelids.

　　Shen Mo thought he was going to kiss him again. He closed his eyes and heard the man sigh, “Let’s talk about it after you get better.”

　　After saying that, he let go of his hand and turned back to wash the dishes, as if those dishes were more attractive than him.

　　Shen Mo was able to cling to him because of the alcohol, but he couldn’t go any further. The other person had no interest in him, so he couldn’t force himself on him, right?

　　He watched the man wash the dishes, massaged his right hand as usual, and then… slept on the sofa as usual.

　　Shen Mo was very hot at night and had many chaotic dreams. He seemed to dream that the man walked into the room, but when he opened his eyes, it was nothing. When he woke up the next morning, the man had already gone to the company.

　　After that, he only found time to have a few meals with Shen Mo, and then hurriedly flew abroad. However, he was still worried, so he asked his assistant to come and see Shen Mo several times, and even booked a ticket for Shen Mo to go home.

　　Shen Mo thanked the man’s assistant in person, but turned around and locked the ticket in the drawer.

　　He did not go home and lived in the rented house until the end of the year.

　　On the 31st, he got up early and did a thorough cleaning, cleaning the house thoroughly. When he was free in the afternoon, he made a phone call.

　　The phone rang only twice before someone answered it. A familiar voice came from the other end. Shen Mo couldn’t help but shout, “Dad…”

　　There was silence on the other end for a while, and then the phone was hung up with a “click”.

　　Shen Mo held the receiver blankly, and heard a busy tone. He called again after a while, but no one answered the phone this time.

　　Shen Mo’s eyes turned red and he silently hung up the phone.

　　After he started dating Zhou Yang, he came out to his family. The incident was a big deal and he almost had his legs broken. After that, he was kicked out by his parents and could never go back home.

　　But he is not alone, at least Zhou Yang is with him, right?

　　Shen Mo adjusted his mood, picked up the rag again, and wiped the spotlessly clean floor again.

　　Time soon came to night. Shen Mo was too lazy to prepare food, so he cooked a bowl of noodles, ate while watching TV, and then waited for midnight on the sofa.

　　Near midnight, the sound of firecrackers began to sound, and Shen Mo’s cell phone rang. Shen Mo rushed over to answer it. It was an unfamiliar number, but the voice that came through made him feel at ease.

　　”Are you asleep?”

　　”Not asleep, waiting for midnight. How about you?”

　　”Still having dinner.”

　　Shen Mo said “Oh”, then remembered that there was a time difference, and asked, “Is it fun to celebrate the New Year abroad?”

　　The man still spoke in a cold tone, “It’s not interesting.”

　　The two chatted about some topics casually, and the man asked out of the blue: “Shen Mo, where are you now?”

　　Shen Mo blurted out: “At home.”

　　The man asked again: “One person?”

　　Shen Mo’s eyelids twitched. He looked around the lonely house and the half-eaten noodles on the table. He tried to make his voice sound cheerful: “I’m back home. My parents are here.”

　　He was not a man who would lie, and was afraid that he would be exposed. Just as the sound of firecrackers was getting louder and louder, he hurriedly said, “My parents called me to set off firecrackers. I’ll hang up first.”

　　The man did not answer, but called him in a strange tone: “Shen Mo.”

　　Shen Mo instinctively knew that he was going to say something and waited with bated breath.

　　After a long time, the man’s voice rang as the clock struck twelve, but he only said: “Happy New Year.”

　　Shen Mo replied: “Happy New Year.”

　　I feel a little melancholy, but also a kind of indescribable sweetness in my heart.

　　After Shen Mo hung up the phone, he went to sleep on the sofa where the man usually slept. His shadow filled his dreams. He went to bed late and woke up late the next day. He woke up only when he heard a knock on the door.

　　Shen Mo was startled, wondering who would knock on the door at this time. He got up in a daze and went to open the door.

　　The door opened.

　　Just like a dream, the person he missed was standing outside the door.
