The next morning, Zhuang Yan woke up first.
Xie Ning was still immersed in his dream, Zhuang Yan looked at his sleeping face for a while, then carefully put his hand on his forehead to test the temperature.
Zhuang Yan knew that he was not in good health and was afraid of cold. A slight change in temperature would easily lead to a small cold. For a while, Zhuang Yan saw that he was sullen and his voice was hoarse, and he coughed twice after saying a few words.
Zhuang Yan was extremely patient and gentle last night. He made a lot of preparations for this, learned all kinds of knowledge, and cleaned up afterwards, but he also knew that Xie Ning was still prone to illness at this time.
Fortunately, Shainin didn't have much heat.
Zhuang Yan raised his body and turned his head to look at Xie Ning.
He didn't dare to move too much, because Xie Ning was half-pillowed on his shoulders and was sleeping soundly.
The quilt slid down slightly, revealing most of Xie Ning's looming neck. There were several hickeys dotted on the fair skin, which were left by Zhuang Yan when he couldn't help it.
Zhuang Yan inevitably thought of Xie Ning last night. He was very shy, but also very well-behaved. He let him do whatever he wanted. When he couldn't bear it, he buried his head in the soft quilt, as if this could cover up his blushing face.
Fortunately, he has strong self-control and knows how to restrain himself.
Zhuang Yan thought like this, otherwise Xie Ning, who was as soft as a ball of cotton, would not know what he would have tossed into.
After a while, the day dawned, and even through the thick curtains, light entered the bedroom.
Xie Ning moved uneasily in his arms twice, Zhuang Yan thought he was awake, but only when he looked carefully did he realize that he wasn't.
Xie Ning was still in a dream, but he just said something intermittently, his voice was soft and vague, Zhuang Yan had to lower his head and listen closely.
He murmured, "...It hurts."
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and began to reflect on whether he hurt someone last night.
After a while, I saw Xie Ning turn over and shrink into his arms, hug his waist, and say, "Mom... I will be obedient."
Zhuang Yan, who was called Mom, couldn't help laughing, but he was a little curious about what Xie Ning dreamed.
"...It hurts." Xie Ning frowned and his face became painful. Although it was only for a moment, Zhuang Yan still saw it.
He patted Xie Ning on the back soothingly.
Xie Ning was quiet for a while, and then started talking in his sleep again: "...I don't want to go...don't send me... "
His eyelashes trembled twice and he woke up suddenly.
"It's still early." Zhuang Yan's voice was close at hand, "Sleep a little longer?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a while, as if he was still immersed in a dream, and blinked slowly.
"What time is it?" he asked in a low voice.
Zhuang Yan picked up the phone and glanced at it: "it's not too late, it's only after 9 o'clock."
Xie Ning paused for a few seconds, and when he was completely awake, the memories of last night also flooded into his mind.
He silently withdrew from Zhuang Yan's arms, blushing completely.
Zhuang Yan looked at him and smiled: "Why are you shy at this time?"
Xie Ning didn't dare to look at him, so he hurriedly turned his head away: "It's 9 o'clock, I, I got up to wash."
He didn't dare to stay in bed too much, although Zhuang Yan cleaned up his body last night and changed all the messy sheets, he didn't feel any discomfort lying down.
But sleeping on the bed with Zhuang Yan, the scene of the two being turned upside down from time to time appeared in his mind, and the shame of being late finally made him feel extremely ashamed.
He rolled over and got out of bed as if he was running away, his legs were inexplicably soft when he stepped on the stall, and Zhuang Yan quickly reached out and grabbed a handful.
"What are you doing in such a hurry." Zhuang Yan laughed in his heart, "We are not in a hurry."
Knowing that Xie Ning was afraid of being ashamed and annoyed at this time, Zhuang Yan didn't bother him much while washing, and the two quickly finished washing.
Xie Ning suddenly remembered something: "Yesterday... I haven't seen my grandpa yet, and I haven't had time to talk to him. He's afraid he's going to be in a hurry."
"Don't worry, I said hello to Uncle Zhong." Zhuang Yan said, "He said that there were a lot of people visiting the doctor yesterday afternoon. The old man was a little tired and went to bed early, so you don't have to go there."
As Zhuang Yan said that, he turned over the text messages in his mobile phone to him again. Xie Ning was relieved when he saw that Uncle Zhong really said so.
"Did you have any dreams this morning?" Zhuang Yan asked him suddenly.
Xie Ning was at a loss for a few seconds: "What?"
Zhuang Yan added: "You kept crying when you were talking in your sleep just now. Did I hurt you last night?"
Xie Ning shook his head: "... No."
"I'll just say, my skills shouldn't be so bad, right?" Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What dream?"
Xie Ning was afraid that he would ask him how he felt last night, whether he was comfortable or not, and he didn't enjoy it, so he quickly said: "Just... I dreamed about things when I was a child. I was still in the south at that time, and there was a summer vacation. I was sent to the summer camp, I cried and told her that I didn’t want to go, but I was sent to the door. Then I struggled to run out to find my mother, I fell hard on the way, my knee hit the slate, and the pain was so painful fell out."
Zhuang Yan narrowed his eyes: "No wonder you still hug me and call me mom."
He heard Zhuang Yan ask him in a low voice, "It must have hurt a lot, right?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a long time before slowly shaking his head: "It hurts so early, I don't remember it now."
Zhuang Yan wanted to say something else, but there was a knock at the door, as if it was a waiter from Lanzhai: "Sir, what you asked for has been delivered."
"You lie down and rest for a while." Zhuang Yan turned to him and said, "I'll open the door."
Xie Ning nodded, thinking that Zhuang Yan had ordered breakfast, and watched him go out wearing the pajamas that Lanzhai had prepared in the closet.
When Zhuang Yan came back, what he was carrying was not food, but a few paper bags. Xie Ning asked curiously, "What did you have?"
"Clothes." Zhuang Yan opened the paper bag, looked at the dimensions on it, and threw a few of them to Xie Ning, "Lanzhai is only equipped with pajamas and bathrobes, we can't wear our clothes yesterday, do you want to wear pajamas? go out."
Xie Ning's face turned red again. He took the paper bag and looked at it, and found that it was actually the latest model of a certain brand of the season.
Zhuang Yan said: "The size is reported by me, there should be little deviation, you can try it on."
Xie Ning couldn't help but wonder, "How do you know my size?"
"Where did you not let me touch and hug?" Zhuang Yan teased him, "What size do you have that I don't know?"
Xie Ning suddenly stopped talking.
"We'll have a meal first." Seeing him, he was so embarrassed that he even turned his back to put on his clothes. Zhuang Yan stopped being a hooligan and changed the subject, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"
Xie Ning hesitated: "... go to the hospital to accompany grandpa?"
"It's not urgent, you can go together at night." Zhuang Yan said, "If there is no other arrangement, can you accompany me to the airport in the afternoon?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and responded unhappily, "... um."
As soon as Zhuang Yan heard it, he knew that he was thinking differently, so he pulled him into his arms and kissed him: "What are you thinking, do you think I'm leaving?"
Xie Ning hesitated: "You've been back for so long..."
Zhuang Yan gagged the rest of his words in his mouth, kissed him thoroughly, and then said, "I didn't say I wanted to leave, so you're in such a hurry to drive me away?"
Xie Ning was hugged by him obediently and shook his head.
"You have to treat your cranky thinking." Zhuang Yan said, "I will accompany me to pick up people in the afternoon."
Xie Ning was told by him, he didn't dare to have any other opinions, he just asked: "Who?"
"My parents." Zhuang Yan said.
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment: "Uncle and aunt... have you returned to China?"
Zhuang Yan: "Well."
Xie Ning felt a little strange: "Didn't they just go abroad for a while? What happened?"
Zhuang Yan's parents' careers were developed abroad, which is why Zhuang Yan chose to go abroad when he was in college, and stayed abroad for several years after graduation. Logically speaking, there was nothing urgent, and Zhuang Yan's parents would not be in such a hurry to come back.
Zhuang Yan looked at him and said, "It's something important for them to come back to deal with."
Xie Ning nodded: "That's it."
Zhuang Yan pinched his face: "Aren't you curious about what's going on?"
Xie Ning asked from Ling Ruliu, "What's the matter?"
Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "You have already agreed to my proposal. Of course they came back to discuss the wedding date."
Xie Ning was choked abruptly and coughed loudly.
"What... what?"
Zhuang Yan looked at him leisurely and said, "Marriage matters should not be taken lightly. As elders, they must come over to discuss this matter with your family in person."
Xie Ning looked at him blankly and said, "I... I'm not mentally prepared."
Zhuang Yan pinched his nose gently and said, "it's okay, you can start preparing now."
Xie Ning pursed his lips, he... couldn't say anything to refuse.
Seeing that he was still stupidly unresponsive, Zhuang Yan lowered his head and smiled: "Also, you should change your tune."
"What's your uncle and aunt? Call me mom and dad later."
