It was so cold outside that Di Xingchen forgot to put on his down jacket and was shivering.

He didn't say anything, and as he climbed up carefully, Pei Xu said, "You'll have to put on a down jacket when you go out."

Di Xingchen gave a "hmm", not even daring to look at Pei Xu's face.

Pei Xu looked as if he was drunk, with his eyes and face as if he was drunk. Is there really a man who is so obvious about his desire? What would it look like if ...... were to do that?

Thule through red?

He feels that Pei Xu is like a volcano, a volcano that has never erupted, that has reached its active stage and can splash him with hot lava if he is not careful.

He got under the covers and Pei Xu suddenly reached for the nearby kettle, poured a large glass full of water and drank it straight down.

Di Xingchen lies under the blanket, only to hear the sound of a gulp of water, and he turns his head to see the firm side of Pei Xu's face, and the knot of his throat rolling up and down.

Pei Xu's face is very red, but he looks very calm.

When he had finished, Pei Xu pulled the light and lay down.

The two men did not say another word. Di Xingchen just shivered at the sound of Pei Xu's pronounced breathing.

He was just freezing.

The body keeps shaking uncontrollably as the cold and heat alternate.

He actually felt that shivering at this time was a bit inappropriate and could lead to some unpleasant associations.

But there's no way around it, the body reacts out of control.

He then distracted himself by mentally counting sheep.

He didn't know how long he had been lying there, but he suddenly heard Pei Xu laughing softly.

A self-deprecating, embarrassed, and delighted laugh.

Di Xingchen's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Pei Xu said, "It's nothing."

After a while, Pei Xu asked, "Are you sleepy? If not, let's talk."

"Yeah."

Then the two were silent together for a while.

Pei Xu is clearly not a chatty person, as Pei Xu himself said when they first met.

Di Xingchen took the initiative and asked, "Why did you choose to play 'By the Lake Baikal' for this performance when all the pieces chosen were very difficult? Was it a random choice?"

Pei Xu said, "No," with a "hmmm". Because my dad loves this song. He went on a trip to Lake Baikal with my mum and proposed to his there, and every wedding anniversary, my mum would play this song, and it's a family favorite."

Di Xingchen was surprised and said, "So."

So did Pei Xu choose to play 'By the Lake Baikal' because it represents his heart's desire for love?

"Your parents are very affectionate." Di Xingchen said.

Pei Xu says, "A lot of people think my mum married my dad because he was rich, but that's not true. They were together when they were young, then they split up and my mum married my dad, but my dad died in a plane crash and they came full circle and are now so close that they're inseparable."

Di Xingchen didn't expect Pei Xu to tell his such a personal story, so he didn't know what to say.

"I'm not the Zhou family's biological child, you know that, right?" Pei Xu asks again.

Di Xingchen said: "I know, I've seen the news too. "

Pei Xu gave a "hmm" and said, "I changed my name as a teenager and he was very good to me and very close to my mother. A lot of people thought I was his illegitimate son."

"Is all the news coming out of your house lately true?" Di Xingchen asked.

Pei Xu said, "You mean the one about the family estate?"

Di Xingchen let out a "hmm". The news was quite big, and Lin Qingning and the others had a brief chat about it last week.

"There are truths and lies, there are struggles that are true, but it is false to say that Zhou's business is going to be passed on to me, I am not interested in Zhou family's business and my mother won't let me get involved. I am not interested in the Zhou family business and my mother won't let me get involved. Maybe my mother is a celebrity and he is more famous, and the media and netizens like to see the drama of the feuding families, so they make up things that are not true. I like my job now, it's easy and I don't have to deal with people."

When Di Xingchen heard this, he suddenly remembered the Pei Xu fund he had bought online.

"By the way, how is your fund performing these days? I bought your fund."

As he speaks, he touches his mobile phone, the screen of which lights up and illuminates Di Xingchen's brow.

Pei Xu asked in astonishment, "You bought my fund?"

Di Xingchen smiled and said, "Yeah, you're now the top stream in the fund world, Brother Pei doesn't pay out!"

Pei Xu was actually a little embarrassed and said, "Why did you buy my fund and when did you buy it?"

"Just the other day, the programme team gave me some money, so I bought some." Di Xingchen went up to look at it and let out an "oh", "It's up 2.4 today!"

You know a hybrid fund that can go up two points a day is pretty good, especially one that is as large as the fund is.

"Which one did you buy?" Pei Xu came over to look.

Di Xingchen was so excited to see the money he had made in the past few days that he didn't even notice it.

It's only been a few days and he's already made a thousand dollars!

Brother Pei YYDS!

"Haven't you been recording the show for the past few days, how will you have time to deal with that?"

"Several of the track trends are still intact right now, so you don't need to move your position frequently, you've basically not moved much in the last few days." Pei Xu reached out to dial his phone and glanced at his funds, "And you only bought mine?"

Di Xingchen said, "Yes, I believe in you. I hope Brother Pei brings me a lot of money!"

Pei Xu smiled, he was still a bit embarrassed, he felt a bit strange when Di Xingchen bought his fund, as if it had inadvertently increased his pressure, but when he saw that Di Xingchen only bought his fund, Pei Xu was very satisfied, and when Di Xingchen said that he believed him, Pei Xu's heart was full of joy.

"I try." Pei Xu said.

"You'll definitely get more and more popular in the future." Di Xingchen asks, "Why are so many top-performing hybrid chickens in the doldrums lately and you're still managing your retracements so well."

Pei Xu says, "Because I'm good."

Di Xingchen just laughed.

Pei Xu explains earnestly, "The market has been rotating this year, so it's important to diversify my positions and have a balanced ratio, and I have a high turnover rate, and I have a good eye for stock selection."

Di Xingchen says: "I don't know much about funds, but I know it's right to follow Brother Pei."

He has been complimented on his financial genius by many people, but Di Xingchen just gave him a simple compliment, and he is going to be in heaven.

Highly enjoyable.

The conversation relaxed Pei Xu, and the fire in his heart dissipated, leaving only a residual heat. He moved a little and his ear suddenly brushed against Di Xingchen's cheek, a touch that jolted both of them for a moment before Pei Xu realised that he was resting on Di Xingchen's pillow. He didn't dare move for a moment, and then he was back on his feet. Di Xingchen thought Pei Xu had done it on purpose and put the phone down, the light from it dimmed and they were plunged back into darkness. Di Xingchen's heart was pounding and the heat was rising, so he reached out and pushed Pei Xu, not on his face but on his neck.

His hot neck and prominent throat knot.

Pei Xu moved back to his pillow almost immediately and he winced, his expression blurred, feeling the electricity swish through his body and the goose bumps on his neck.

This was the first time he had experienced this feeling, a hundred times more intense than when he had touched his ears while playing the piano before.

Pei Xu was dumbfounded, his lips pursed and his hands clenched. Di Xingchen also stopped talking.

Pei Xu's throat knot is so big. The neck is so hot.

He thought sardonically.

In the darkness, neither man spoke again.

The atmosphere went back to the way it was before all of a sudden.

Di Xingchen pretended to look at his phone and said, "It's late, let's stop talking and go to bed."

Pei Xu remains silent.

Di Xingchen turned inwards and suddenly wondered if it would be a bad idea to have his bottom facing Pei Xu.

He snapped and wrapped up tighter under the covers.

I don't know how long he had been lying like that, but it seemed that his sleepiness had really set in and Di Xingchen finally fell asleep.

But Pei Xu couldn't sleep for a while and his mind kept wandering.

For Pei Xu, the shock of the homoerotic drawings and homoeroticism was that he started out with more of an emotional craving and a physical response that was more unconscious.

But the homoerotic drawings and many related comments made him more realistic about the more concrete details and triggered more fantasies for him.

For example, he's now next to Di Xingchen, and it's not just about kissing him.

He will think of more specific organs and organs of friction.

This pained him.

Around midnight, after the fire has cooled down and the pain has numbed his body, Pei Xu moves a little closer to Di Xingchen and listens to his breathing in the darkness.

After listening for a while, he surreptitiously moved the top quilt inward and covered Di Xingchen mostly, then carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for Di Xingchen.

His lust is so strong, but his love is so soft.

Di Xingchen woke up in the morning light, rubbed his eyes and rolled over to look behind him to see that Pei Xu was no longer on the bed.

He touched his phone and glanced at it, then hurriedly sat up from the bed.

As soon as he got up, he found his water glass, toothbrush and toothpaste neatly arranged on the bedside table, disposable washcloths and a hot water bottle in that order.

A new pair of socks, resting on his shoes. And his duvet and trousers, both hitched to a chair by the fire.

Di Xingchen sits dumbly on the edge of his bed as a ray of golden morning light shines through the window and onto his pale feet.

Hu Ying and Lin Qingning are both up late today, Hu Ying only waking up when he hears noises from the kitchen outside.

He ran out without his clothes on, wrapped in a thick robe.

Before he could see anyone, he smiled and said, " Xingchen, you're early."

When he reached the living room, he froze in place.

Pei Xu, dressed in a black down jacket and an inky blue fleece hat, looked up at him, "Good morning."

" Where is Xingchen?" Hu Ying looked around.

Pei Xu must have come with Di Xingchen, right?

"He's still sleeping." Pei Xu said.

"What are you doing?" Hu Ying asked as he walked over.

He then saw Pei Xu frying eggs, several of which were already battered on the side.

He looked up at Pei Xu in astonishment.

Pei Xu has heavy dark circles under his eyes and the corners of his mouth seem to have become more inflamed, but this does not detract from his fair and handsome appearance, and there is porridge bubbling away in the pot next to him.

Perhaps it was the heat that made Hu Ying feel that Pei Xu, who had never been very social, had come to life with a human touch.
