    Chapter 32 The most intimate “My heart is cold.”

    The tour came to a northern city, and after the show ended, Xiang Wen, the guitarist in the band, said he would take them to a delicious local restaurant, and he happened to be a local.

    The band has always had a good relationship with them. Xiang Wen is the one who communicates more often. Li Hu sometimes asks him for advice. He is also enthusiastic and easy to get along with, and he gradually becomes familiar with other members of the group.

    They booked a private room, and the food was served quickly. Assistants and staff sat around a large table.Tang Ruining put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites. Li Go turned his head and asked him, “Is it not to your liking?”

    Tang Ruining shook his head: “I’m not hungry.”

    “Drink some soup, it’s so fresh.” Li Huang poured a bowl for him. Tang Ruining took a few sips and then stopped, grabbing Li Huang’s hand and playing with it as if he was bored.

    Li Go looked up and looked around. No one noticed the movement under the table, so he just let Tang Ruining play.

    On the first night of the performance, Li Hu refused to let Tang Ruining come to sleep with him, fearing that it would affect his condition the next day. Tang Ruining was not happy and said that he would not do anything but sleep.But Li Gu was very insistent on this point, saying that they should have a good rest and ensure full energy and not affect each other, so Tang Ruining had no choice but to give up.So today, while preparing backstage, Tang Ruining pulled him to kiss him at the corner. There were staff behind the wall around the corner.Li Hu didn’t dare to say anything. He had already put on his costume and put on his makeup. Tang Ruining didn’t hug him too tightly for fear of getting his clothes wrinkled. She only held his waist in a measured manner, and pinched his chin with her other hand. She seemed to be kissing him very restrainedly.

    The voice of the staff talking not far away seemed to be in his ears. Li Hu was dealing with his resentful boyfriend, but his attention was actually on the side, fearing that the staff would come towards them.

    Tang Ruining pinched his waist lightly, causing him to almost scream. After holding back, he glared at Tang Ruining.

    Tang Ruining asked him with his mouth: “What are you thinking about?”

    Li Hu leaned close to his ear: “I think you are a small-minded person.”

    Tang Ruining nodded in approval.

    Then she said to his ears that had beautiful earrings hanging on them: “The best way to keep my energy for performing is this. You want me to be able to kiss you at any time.”

    Li Go felt a little hot and didn’t know what to say. He pushed Tang Ruining gently and said, “It’s time to go back and put on makeup.”

    When walking to the extension stage during the performance, some fans will throw things on the stage. Large items such as lights and signs are not allowed to be brought in, so some fans will throw small dolls upwards, and some will throw flowers.Tang Ruining usually wouldn’t pick up things on the stage, but today he found a flower on the edge of the stage. It was a pink-orange rose with full petals.He bent down to pick it up, held it in his hand, walked all the way back to the main stage, and then gave it to Jiang Yilan.

    Li Hu was interacting with the fans on the other side of the stage and didn’t notice the person coming behind him. Tang Ruining didn’t call him, but stood behind him, patiently waiting for the interaction between him and the fans to end.At this time, the fans in the audience who saw this scene were shouting crazy. Li Hu turned around and the first thing that caught his eye was the rose, which was held in front of his eyes, and then he saw the person behind the rose.

    Li Go was startled and asked, “Did you give it to me?”

    “Yes.”

    Li Hu took it generously and smiled brightly, “Thank you!”

    There was often a small theater among the members during performances. At this time, it was best to be open to business and not show any guilt. He took the flowers and kissed the petals.

    Thinking of this, Tang Ruining pinched his fingers under the table again. She couldn’t hold back her strength and it hurt. Li Hu turned to look at him.

    His face was pure confusion, not hurt dissatisfaction.

    So Tang Ruining wanted to kiss him again, so she wanted to kiss him now.He didn’t care at all who saw it or what anyone would think or say.But Jiang Yilan cares, so he can’t do this.

    The two of them didn’t notice what they were talking about at the table. Xiang Wen suddenly called Jiang Yilan’s name, “But Yilan wants to learn drums, hahaha.”

    Li Huo suddenly came back to his senses, took his hand away from Tang Ruining, glanced at the person next to Xiang Wen, and said, “Yes, Brother Wei is so handsome playing the drum.”

    Xiang Wen: “No, it’s so charming. Your brother Wei used to charm a large number of men and women by just playing the drum with his hand.”

    After several rounds of back and forth, Tang Ruining finally realized who “Brother Wei” was.

    The drummer in the band is usually called Jackie. After a long time, Tang Ruining couldn’t remember his Chinese name.

    He sat next to Xiang Wen and tugged on Xiang Wen’s sleeves as he listened to his words. He was embarrassed by the praise and told him to stop talking.His appearance is of a handsome type, and he is not unforgettable at first glance, but his posture when playing the drums is quite handsome.I don’t like to talk much at ordinary times, and my personality is a bit shy. But when I get into music, I have my own aura, which is very contrasting.

    Xiang Wen continued: “Yilan didn’t come to see me later. He just went to see Brother Wei to watch him play drums.”

    Tang Ruining stopped peeling shrimps for Li Go and looked up at the drummer who had a quiet personality and was unfamiliar to him.It seemed that this was the first time that Tang Ruining took a closer look at this person’s appearance. He was a little older than them all, but his face looked very young, and he had the clean temperament of a person who really loves music.

    He looked a little shy, but said to Jiang Yilan in a very soft voice: “Actually, it’s not difficult to get started. If you want to learn, I can teach you.”

    Jiang Yilan smiled next to him: “Okay.”

    What’s his last name?Wei?

    There are very few people with the surname Wei around me. Tang Ruining, who has the character “禾” in the upper left corner, can only think of this one at the moment.

    There have been several changes within this band, but the guitarist and drummer have been with them over the years and work well with them, even though Tang Ruining has never had any dealings with them except for work.

    Jiang Yilan had been practicing guitar since she lost her memory, so she became familiar with Xiang Wen, but Tang Ruining didn’t know that he was no stranger to Jackie either.

    Tang Ruining slowly turned his head. Jiang Yilan looked very happy, not knowing why.

    “Yilan.” Tang Ruining called him.

    “Huh?” He turned his face and replied, the smile on his face not fading.

    After a moment of silence, Tang Ruining put the peeled shrimp into his bowl, “Nothing, just eat some shrimp.”

    Tang Ruining didn’t say much until the dinner was over.

    He finished peeling a plate of shrimps alone in silence. Li Hu told him not to peel them if he didn’t want to eat them. He didn’t seem to hear him. He said after a long delay: “It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat them.” Then he added: “I peel mine, not that you have to finish them.”

    After leaving the hotel, I discovered that it was snowing outside, with a thin layer on the ground.

    Li Go raised his head in a daze. The last time he saw Xue was the night he “died”.

    The snow that night was not heavy, just scattered, but it was very cold.Li Hu remembered that he was shivering from the cold when he was walking on the street. He was walking very fast and wanted to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible. If his eyes were not attracted by the shops on the roadside, he would not stop.

    What would have happened to him now if nothing had happened.

    There was more snow in the north and it fell very densely. The snowflakes fell on his raised face and quickly melted into water.The assistant asked them to get in the car quickly. Li Hu was still thinking about something. Tang Ruining led him into the car and stared at his eyelashes that were wet by the melting snow. After a while, he asked, “What are you thinking about?”

    Li Hu blinked, “I think time flies by so fast.”

    Tang Ruining didn’t seem to believe it, but he didn’t say much and raised his hand to rub his damp bangs.

    “Why are your hands so cold?” Li Go grabbed his hand and held it in his hand.

    Tang Ruining pursed her lips and said half-seriously, “My heart is cold.”

    “What’s the matter?” Li Hu smiled and squeezed his hand, rubbing his hands together, “I’ll cover your cold hands. If your heart is cold, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

    Heat spread from his palms. Tang Ruining looked at his lowered eyes and said, “Who else can do anything except you?”

    When we arrived at the hotel, we each went back to our rooms.Li Hu took a bath, watched the snow on the window sill for a while, and sent Tang Ruining a WeChat message asking when he would come over.

    Tang Ruining didn’t reply, and the person came directly to knock on the door. He was wearing a bathrobe and carrying a bag in his hand. He walked in and hugged the person with one arm and kissed her.Li Go asked him what he had brought over, but Tang Ruining didn’t answer and put the things on the cabinet at the door.

    He felt that Tang Ruining was not in a good mood right from the meal. It was not convenient to ask him in detail at that time. Li Hu hugged him and then asked, “What happened?”

    Tang Ruining just looked at him quietly. Li Huan was not in a hurry for him to answer and waited patiently for him to speak.

    They always wait to hug and kiss at the door of the room. There is only a spotlight on the top of the entrance, which cannot illuminate the face of the person in front of them clearly.

    “Let’s do it.”

    Li Huo paused, and suddenly didn’t know where to put the arm holding him. He hesitated for a while and said, “Now?”

    “Yeah.”

    “But, I haven’t prepared what I need…”

    “Yes.” Tang Ruining tilted her head and pointed him to look at the plastic bag on the cabinet, “That’s the bag I brought in.”

    The light from the overhead lamp fell straight down, turning Li Hu’s eyelashes into gold. They trembled slightly. Tang Ruining asked him, “Aren’t you willing?”

    Li Huo quickly shook his head, and the hand that was about to drop was on his back again: “No.”

    It’s not that he’s unwilling, it’s just that in Li Go’s mind, this kind of thing should happen naturally, why did it happen so suddenly.Tang Ruining’s strange behavior at the dinner could not be because he suddenly thought about this matter.

    He still felt something was strange, but after Tang Ruining got his negative answer, he no longer gave him much time to think, and took him to bed without forgetting to pick up the bag of things.

    …

    The snow is still falling outside the window, but the temperature in the room is getting higher and higher.Li Go touched his sweaty face, and his thoughts returned. He was still thinking about what they had not finished saying, and asked softly: “So what happened?”

    “Nothing.” Tang Ruining replied in a low voice, as if he was tired.But his expression seemed to have achieved a certain purpose, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, “It’s just that doing such a thing will make two people closer, right?”

    Tang Ruining hugged his neck and pecked his lips, “I want to be closer to you, the most intimate…that’s all.”
