Bennett and the Veil of Secrecy Chapter 7

The next day, Bennett got up early, went to the laboratory to finish what he had not finished yesterday, and then took the bus to the city.

Bennett asked Lucas if he wanted to go out on a date before. It was just a casual question. He had a lot of daily necessities to buy. If Lucas said that they could meet, he really didn't know where to put the things he bought.

Bennett arrived at the supermarket and put the missing items into the shopping cart according to the list.

He has few recreational activities and finds pleasure even in going to the supermarket. There weren't many people in the supermarket that day, and there were a lot of things to buy, so he started wandering around. As he was pushing the cart, Bennett saw a whole row of promotional nutritional supplements on a shelf in the supermarket. The brand was called Lucas, so he took out his mobile phone, took pictures for Lucas out of boredom, and asked the other person in a voice message: "Are you busy working overtime? Did you eat lunch on time?"

Just after he finished speaking, Bennett heard someone behind him sneer. Bennett turned around and saw Jasper, Wesley Zhou and Carter Song standing behind him, as if they were also visiting the supermarket.

Jasper glanced at Bennett and looked away, as if he was selecting food on the shelf.

Bennett ignored Jasper's provocation, but also lost the mood to continue shopping. He checked the list without enthusiasm, made sure that nothing was missing, and went to pay the bill directly.

After paying the money, Bennett carried the bag and walked out. Lucas's reply arrived. Bennett took out his phone with difficulty to read it. Lucas told Bennett: "Eat. What about you?"

"I ate too," Bennett put the bag in his hand on the roadside, relaxed his wrist, and wrote back to Lucas, "Now that I have finished shopping, I am ready to go home, because some people are busy with work and are not willing to date me."

He patted his two big bags and showed them to Lucas and said, "Heavy!"

"How do you get home?" Lucas asked him.

Lucas probably got a small break between overtime and returned faster than most of the day. Bennett's hands were sore just now, so he still stood on the roadside and texted Lucas: "I'll take the bus."

"Can't find a rental?"

Lucas, who didn't know the suffering in the world, asked a very silly question. Bennett curled his lips and patiently explained to Lucas: "The fare from the city to my school is very expensive."

It didn't take a few seconds for Lucas to give Bennett an idea: "Aren't there any classmates with cars?"

"I don't have any classmates who are close enough to give me a ride," Bennett put his toes on the bag, rubbed his wrists again, and said, "Are you driving?"

"Open." Lucas said.

Bennett wanted to joke with Lucas and ask him to take him to the supermarket next time, but he didn't say it because he felt it was inappropriate to talk to Lucas.

Dating software is not a local mutual aid software. The occasional teasing and chatting is just teasing and chatting. Bennett can't really ask someone he has never met before to do such a favor. Bennett put his phone back into his bag, picked up the bag and walked out of the supermarket.

After walking a few steps, Bennett sprained his foot and almost fell. The bag in his hand also fell to the ground, and some of the things he bought fell out.

Bennett stood for a few seconds, opened his mouth, picked up the things with a slight limp, and was about to leave. When he raised his head, he saw Carter Song standing not far from him, looking at him expressionlessly. .

Bennett's ankle was in terrible pain, and he didn't bother to do anything superficial, so he limped past Carter Song.

When passing Carter Song, Bennett lowered his head and saw Carter Song holding the car keys in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the conversation he had just had with Lucas. Lucas, a 29-year-old mechanical engineer with a traditional personality, must have never imagined that such a childish isolated incident on campus would exist in a laboratory of the famous T school.

Carter Song was very tall and tall. Standing in a place full of tall white people, he would attract the attention of others. As always, he did not speak to Bennett. He stood by the passage and did not know who he was waiting for.

Bennett endured the pain in his wrists and ankles as he walked to the bus stop, thinking that the person Carter Song was waiting for should be someone very lucky, very special, and favored by God. Carter Song was so proud that it was difficult to guess who he would be willing to spare even a minute for.

At the bus stop, Bennett looked at his phone again while waiting for the bus. His mother sent him a message, asking him how he was doing, saying that his sister's violin had won an award, and she took a picture of the certificate to show Bennett.

Bennett was born in an ordinary and happy family. Both parents were middle school teachers. He had a beautiful and outstanding younger sister. Everything went smoothly from childhood to adulthood. Apart from his secret s3xual orientation, he didn't have many worries.

He told his mother that everything was fine and that the family didn't have to worry.

At this time the bus came, Bennett carried his bags and got on the bus behind the crowd, and found that there was still an empty seat by the window in the front row. Bennett would get carsick when sitting in the back row, so he was so happy that he forgot about his physical discomfort while carrying the bag and sat on it happily.

Before the car started, Lucas sent another message to Bennett, asking him if he had gotten in the car.

Bennett said he got on the bus, and then said: "I found that the earrings you picked for me might be lucky earrings. I actually sat in the front row every time I went back and forth. I was afraid that if I sat in the back row, I would not arrive at school. About to vomit."

"Really?" Lucas replied.

"Have you been catching fish while working overtime today?" Bennett asked Lucas, "Why have you been sending me messages?"

Lucas didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something, but he waited until Bennett was about to fall asleep before replying to him: "No."
