Zhao Yi arrived at their residence, opened the door, and saw Chao Ci sitting on the sofa alone.

As he walked in, he said: "I was just kidding you, why did you react so bigly?"

He said and sat next to Chao Ci: "After you left, Xiaoxia's eyes were red and she looked very sad."

"Xiao Xia is a very nice girl. She is a family friend of yours. She likes you wholeheartedly. She is good-looking and has a good personality. All the boys like her, so they just call her sister-in-law. You are not young anymore.

It is still a single mother, no one will believe it..."

When he said this, Chao Ci slowly raised his head and asked him: "You also want me to be with her?"

This is nonsense. Zhao Yi's attitude is obviously obvious.

Zhao Yi was asked like this by Chao Ci. He didn't know what to say for a while and was a little embarrassed.

Mainly because Lin Xia came to him a few days ago and asked him to help.

Lin Xia is a really nice girl. He thought about it carefully and found that she was really suitable for Chao Ci, so he just thought it would be okay to help.

If it really works out, that would be a good thing.

But at this moment, he was also keenly aware that something was wrong with Chao Ci's attitude, and he seemed a little angry.

But for a while, he couldn't figure out why Chao Ci was angry. It was impossible for Lin Xia to offend Chao Ci when he didn't know about it.

"Don't I think it's just right? Lin Xia is such a good girl and likes you so much. If you miss her, it will be difficult to find the next one. I'm afraid you will regret it." Zhao Yi said.

Lin Xia had indeed put a lot of thought into chasing Chao Ci during this period, and their friends all saw it.

However, his words added fuel to the fire and seemed like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Secretly admiring someone is hard work. If it were someone else who had a crush on someone, no matter what, there would be one or two friends around to talk to. But Chao Ci couldn't. His and Zhao Yi's friend circles completely overlapped, and it was possible to talk to anyone.

It reached Zhao Yi's ears. Not to mention other people's crushes, most of them still had some thoughts, hoping that the people they liked would know their admiration... but Chao Ci couldn't.

So he must hide his emotions at all times.

This is already wearing down Chao Ci's heart, not to mention that his admirers push him out again and again to bring him together with outsiders!

He didn't know whether he drank too much today, or whether his psychological depression and unwillingness were really compressed to the limit.

He stood up suddenly and shouted at Zhao Yi: "If she likes me, I must like her? Then I like you, can you like me?!"

Zhao Yi was stunned by his yelling, and it took him a while to understand what Chao Ci meant.

Suddenly his body became even stiffer.

"Aci...are you kidding?" he asked.

This is too much like a joke, or an angry remark.

"Then if you really don't like Xiaoxia that much, forget it. There is no need to choke me with this." Zhao Yi said.

If it were someone else who dared to speak to him in this tone, he would beat that person to the ground right now. But who let this person be Chao Ci?

Chao Ci didn't know what he said until the words came out of his mouth.

He completely exposed the secret he had held tightly for so many years.

But now that the words have been spoken, Chao Ci doesn't care about regretting them. Even if he follows the steps Zhao Yi gave him now, it still seems lame and far-fetched, and will always leave doubts in Zhao Yi's heart. He loves misery.

How could he not reveal any flaws after knowing this person? Then sooner or later, the suspicion will grow bigger and bigger, and he will eventually be exposed.

Since it's today, let's talk about it directly.

"I'm not joking, nor am I trying to choke you." Chao Ci sat down and his tone became calmer, "I love you. It's been seven years since the second grade of junior high school."

It's not like, it's love.

It is a love that adults find difficult to express, because the word is too heavy, so if it is spoken easily, it will make people feel frivolous and immature.

But Zhao Yi knew how cautious Chao Ci was, so he also understood the weight of the word coming out of his mouth.

But this sentence really surprised him, and it simply overturned all the perceptions he had had in the past ten years.

He always felt that he and Chao Ci were the best brothers.

The best of friends, bundled together, are not as good as Chao Ci.

So good that even if Chao Ci wants his life, he is willing to give it.

But he never thought that Chao Ci had such thoughts towards him.

How is this possible? For so many years, he didn't notice it at all.

Chao Ci is the person who knows Zhao Yi best in the world. He can tell what Zhao Yi is thinking at a glance.

He suddenly leaned forward and asked Zhao Yi at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Yi could only see the handsome young man in front of him suddenly approaching, and finally there was a cool and extremely soft touch on his lips.

He opened his eyes wide and pushed the young man out hard the moment he reacted.

Chao Ci is still a loser for so many years. He is incomparable to people like Zhao Yi who are keen on fighting and extreme sports. Even ten Chao Ci may not be able to beat one Zhao Yi. After being pushed hard by him,

He hit the sofa hard.

There was some wooden material on the top of the sofa, and it was obviously painful when Chao Ci's back hit it.

Seeing Chao Ci's face that suddenly turned pale, Zhao Yi's heart trembled and he subconsciously wanted to help him. But he still restrained himself with his reason.

Chao Ci relieved the pain and looked at Zhao Yi: "Do you believe it now?"

He believed it... At this point, he had no choice but to disbelieve it.

There was no need for Chao Ci to make such a nasty joke with him.

Although he was still in disbelief now, his always calm and rational style still allowed him to directly make the optimal solution.

"It's impossible for me to like you." Zhao Yi said, "There's no possibility."

Chao Ci lowered his head and smiled silently.

Yes, he knew this was the case.

There will be no room for ambiguity about things that cannot be done.

In his opinion, this is good for Chao Ci and him.

"I'm going to sleep first. You can calm down." Zhao Yi said, stood up, and cast his last glance at Chao Ci.

Hearing the sound of people going upstairs, Chao Ci could no longer hold back, and tears couldn't help but fall from his cheeks.

He already knew this would be the result...but he still couldn't help but gamble.

…………

The next day, Zhao Yi woke up with worries.

He almost didn't sleep all night yesterday. His good brother for more than ten years actually had such thoughts towards him, and he didn't know what to say.

It was impossible for him to agree to Chao Ci, but he also never wanted to break off with Chao Ci.

What to do?

Maybe he should move out for a few days to let the two of them calm down. Looking back now, for so many years, he and Chao Ci have rarely been apart. They have been together for at least 330 days out of the 365 days in a row.

They even visit each other during the Chinese New Year... This is a bit too much even among close friends.

Perhaps it was also this long time together that gave Chao Ci some illusions... He could only hope that it was an illusion.

He went downstairs and was about to tell Chao Ci that they should be separated for a while.

But he saw Chao Ci sitting at the dining table with a normal expression, watching him go downstairs, and waving to him with a smile.

"I ordered a morning tea that just opened. It tastes very good. Come and have some." Chao Ci said.

He still had the same bright smile as before, as if nothing happened last night.

Zhao Yidao also hoped that this was a dream, but he also knew that it was definitely not a dream.

But now looking at Chao Ci's smiling face as usual, he didn't know how to break it. He could only stand stiffly opposite Chao Ci and eat his morning tea.

Although it's takeout, it tastes really good.

The two have lived together for so long, and Chao Ci has never cooked before. Because this guy is a kitchen killer, they basically make a living by taking out food. Occasionally, Zhao Yi will cook by himself——

But his craftsmanship is just average.

He was about to speak, but when he saw Chao Ci in front of him, his face suddenly turned serious: "Don't take what happened last night to your heart, just think that I'm talking nonsense, we are still good brothers."

"..."

This is what Zhao Yi wanted to say, but he didn't expect Chao Ci to say it on his own initiative.

In fact, this way of handling obviously has hidden dangers, and it is inconsistent with Zhao Yi's past no-nonsense character. However, it is impossible for him to really break up with Chao Ci, so after all, he still has to cover his ears and steal the bell.

"Well, it's good if you can figure it out." Zhao Yi said.

…………

The whole day after that, Zhao Yi was also in a daze.

In the morning, he received a message from a school girl.

[Senior, thanks to your help with what happened last time, I would like to treat you to a meal. Are you free in the afternoon? 】

Zhao Yi looked at the person's profile picture and label, and it took him a while to remember who it was.

This is a junior classmate who is one year behind them. She was doing a project with the tutor before, and he conveniently provided some information.

This girl's name is Shen Yawen. She went to the same high school as him, and later got admitted to Q University. Friends around her joked that she came here for Zhao Yi.

But they all knew that Zhao Yi had no intention of falling in love, so they didn't mention Shen Yawen in front of Zhao Yi like they mentioned Lin Xia in front of Chao Ci.

What happened before was just a casual thing. In the past, Zhao Yi would never go out of his way to have dinner with a girl because of this.

What's more, he also knows what this girl thinks about him.

But this time, Zhao Yi looked at the chat box for a long time and responded uncharacteristically: [Yes, where is the place?]
