Xie Ning received a call from Yan Xi, saying that he was going on a business trip to the south over the weekend, so he could meet him just in time.
Anyone can see them, but Yan Xi and Xie Ning definitely want to see them.
The time was set on Saturday night. The crew ended work early that day. When Zhuang Yan came back, Xie Ning was planning to go out.
Zhuang Yan grabbed his wrist and said, "wait for me."
Shane turned to look at him.
Zhuang Yan just came back from the outside, his fingers were slightly cold, and by coincidence, they were on the tattoo of Xie Ning's wrist.
The fingertips were placed on it, and after a while, they rubbed twice as if unintentionally.
Zhuang Yan felt it the last time they kissed, but this time he found that the skin under his fingertips was slightly rough.
Like... scars
Zhuang Yan's eyes darkened.
Xie Ning seemed to have no idea and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'll accompany you." Zhuang Yan's tone was calm, and he hid all the emotions in his heart.
Xie Ning glanced at him unexpectedly: "What are you going to do?"
Zhuang Yan raised the corners of his lips and smiled at him: "Anyway, we are a family sooner or later, and I should also be familiar with your friends."
Xie Ning frowned and hesitated for a few seconds.
Zhuang Yan asked him, "How are you going to get there?"
Xie Ning: "Take a taxi."
"You can try." Zhuang Yan laughed, "The location here is relatively remote, and it is generally impossible to get a taxi. Are you planning to wait in the cold wind for a few hours?"
Xie Ning said in surprise: "Is that so?"
"Well." Zhuang Yan made the decision for him directly, "You don't know how to drive yourself, don't hesitate, I'll take you there."
Xie Ning had no choice but to say "Okay".
Sometimes he thinks the way they get along is quite interesting.
Zhuang Yan has a strong personality, while Xie Ning is at ease, so between the two, Zhuang Yan often takes the initiative, while Xie Ning accepts it passively.
But Xie Ning didn't hate this feeling, and he even breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, he was confused and confused. Day by day, life had no goal and no direction, as if walking in a fog.
I don't know the way forward, and I don't know the way back.
It's different now.
Someone took his hand and pointed him in the direction.
He doesn't have to worry about whether to go left or right, as long as he trusts Zhuang Yan wholeheartedly and lets him make the decision.
Then wait for him to take himself out of the fog and usher in a bright future.
"Wait for me a few more minutes." Zhuang Yan clasped Xie Ning's wrist and took him into the master bedroom.
Xie Ning wondered: "Do you have anything else to do?"
"No." Zhuang Yan said, "I changed my clothes."
He opened the wardrobe, took out two sets of clothes and spread them out on the bed: "Which one do you think is better."
Zhuang Yan's clothes have always been excellent. Xie Ning swept the two outfits on the bed and said sincerely, "It's all good."
Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment and chose the one that matched Xie Ning's clothes better.
Xie Ning watched him put on his clothes, and curved his lips: "You are so serious about changing clothes?"
Zhuang Yan buttoned the cufflinks on his sleeves and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "When did I not pay attention to things related to you?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a second.
Zhuang Yan looked in the mirror, picked out another tie, and asked him in a low voice, "Tie it for me?"
Xie Ning took two steps in his direction, stretched out his hand to take the tie, and looked up at Zhuang Yan: "... bow your head."
Zhuang Yan obediently looked down at him.
Xie Ning's hands were on both ends of the tie, and when he went around Zhuang Yan's neck, he seemed to take the initiative to stretch his arms around him.
The knotted movement was gentle, his eyes were serious, Zhuang Yan looked at him, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Xie Ning was about to step back when he was about to tie his tie, when a shadow fell over his head first.
Zhuang Yan grabbed the back of his head and kissed him lightly on the lips.
Xie Ning went out with a blushing face.
Before leaving, Zhuang Yan took a coat from the closet and threw it to him: "It's cold at night, so bring more coats."
After getting into the car with the clothes in his arms, Xie Ning realized that the clothes in his hand looked a little unfamiliar: "This coat seems to belong to you."
"It's okay." Zhuang Yan glanced at him with a smile, "It's not your first time wearing my clothes."
Xie Ning: "… "
The place where the crew is located is indeed a long distance from the agreed location. When the two arrived, Yan Xi had already waited for a long time.
"Feel sorry."
The seat he booked happened to be a table by the window. Xie Ning sat in it. As soon as he sat down, he showed an apologetic smile to Yan Xi, and Zhuang Yan sat down beside him very naturally.
Yan Xi said, "what do you apologize to me for?"
Seeing Zhuang Yan, he was not surprised, and nodded slightly to him as a greeting.
Yan Xi handed the menu to Xie Ning and said, "I remember that this restaurant used to be your favorite. I checked that it was still open, so I chose this place. I don't know if the chef has changed over the years."
Xie Ning lowered his head and pinched the corner of the menu with his fingertips: "I forgot what the dishes here are like."
Zhuang Yan suddenly remembered that Xie Ning spent a long time in the south when he was a child, and it can be said that he grew up here.
He looked at Yan Xi again and asked, "Have you known each other since childhood?"
Yan Xi raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly provocative tone, "Did Xie Ning mention it to you?"
Zhuang Yan said unhurriedly: "We usually don't talk about people who are not important."
Yan Xi was stunned.
Xie Ning explained: "Yan Xi's hometown is here. My family and his family were neighbors before, and we have known each other for a long time."
Yan Xi added: "Xie Ning and I are bamboo horses, more than ten years before you knew him."
Zhuang Yan gave him a meaningful look: "That's not necessarily true."
Although there is no impression, but he has seen Xie Ning when he was born.
Xie Ning called the waiter to order before the smell of gunpowder between the two escalated.
After reporting a few dishes, he turned around and asked, "Are these enough?"
Yan Xi: "The old way is fine."
Zhuang Yan: "You know my taste."
Xie Ning reluctantly placed the order.
It's true that he and Yan Xi haven't seen each other for a long time, and they revisited the old place again, so they chatted a few more words: "Are your uncle and aunt okay?"
Yan Xi nodded: "I just went home during the day, and their bodies are still tough."
Zhuang Yan listened to them chatting with interest, and his hand under the table moved restlessly.
He reclined a little, and quietly grabbed Xie Ning's hand hanging from his waist, his fingertips slid across his palm little by little, and found the gap between his fingers.
The fingers squeezed in involuntarily, the fingers were wrong, and they were tightly buckled.
Xie Ning was in the middle of chatting with Yan Xi, his voice paused, and he turned to look at Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan chuckled and asked, "Have you lived in the south for more than ten years?"
Shainin: "Yes."
Zhuang Yan asked curiously, "Then the house you used to live in is still there?"
"Not anymore." Xie Ning was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head, "When I go back to the north, I will sell that house."
Zhuang Yan frowned slightly.
He and Xie Ning were too close, and he clearly felt Xie Ning's body was stiff for a moment, and shook hands slightly twitching.
And Yan Xi's expression also has a somewhat hesitant look.
However, before he could ask again, the waiter just came over to serve the food.
It's too weird to eat with one hand, Xie Ning took the opportunity to pull his hand away from Zhuang Yan's palm.
Yan Xi took two mouthfuls of vegetables and seemed to be changing the topic: "This outfit on your body is quite unfamiliar, and it doesn't look like the style you wore before. Did you buy it new?"
Before Xie Ning could speak, Zhuang Yan answered calmly, "Oh, those are my clothes."
Yan Xi: "..."
He raised his head to look at Xie Ning, and happened to see his face hot and embarrassed.
After a meal, Yan Xi felt that he was not full of vegetables.
was fed with dog food.
