During dinner, Ms. Qiao and his wife also came. Because Xie Ning had too much luggage at the end, they didn't eat out. Zhuang Yan cooked before leaving.
Ms. Qiao was quite emotional: "I have never seen you cook so diligently at home before, but the men who want to start a family are different."
After the meal, Xie Ning tidied up the table, while Zhuang Yan went upstairs to take down the suitcase.
"Everyone else is better than newlyweds. If you haven't gotten married yet, you have to say goodbye again." While Xie Ning was away, Ms. Qiao taunted Zhuang Yan again.
The mother and son have similar personalities, and they are used to teasing each other first when they meet. Zhuang Yan put the box in the corner and said lightly, "When I'm not here, please take care of Xie Ning for me."
Ms. Qiao raised her brows and said, "I have a request from me at this time, but I am willing to speak in a good voice, even using honorifics..."
Zhuang Yan didn't care at all: "You also said that I have something to ask of you, of course I have to respect it."
"Why do I always sound wrong," Ms. Qiao said. "You can have a face."
Zhuang Yan sneered: "For the sake of my daughter-in-law, what face do you want?"
Ms. Joe: "… "
"Your dealer's man is really..." She rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Don't worry, not only Xie Ning, Father Xie, but also his parents, I will watch more and make sure to take care of him when you are away. Properly."
Zhuang Yan said two more words: "Xie Ning, he doesn't know how to drive. He usually asks the driver to pick him up when he goes out. His cooking skills are only half, and occasionally he forgets to eat. Let Aunt Chen come to the house to cook..."
At the end, he himself laughed a few times: "When I didn't pay attention, it became long-winded."
Ms. Qiao glanced at him, but it was rare that she didn't joke: "I know you are worried about Ningning."
Zhuang Yan accepted it with a smile: "If it wasn't for the crew that couldn't be without me, I wouldn't want to leave."
"Don't worry, I'm rushing back to China because of this." Ms. Qiao stood up. "That's my righteous daughter-in-law. I take care of him, so I don't need you to warn me."
Send Zhuang Yan to the airport. When parting, Zhuang Yan grabs Xie Ning's hand and wants to hug him.
The elder was still watching, Xie Ning was a little shy, hesitated for a few seconds, but still reached out and hugged Zhuang Yan.
The hug time was a bit long, but Zhuang Yan held it for a long time, and there was no desire to let go at all.
For some reason, Xie Ning also docilely allowed him to hold him and did not push it away.
But after a while, the two separated.
In the end, Zhuang Yan gave him a deep look, his eyes were deep, as if they contained a thousand words.
For a moment, Xie Ning wanted to follow him on the plane and follow him back to the crew.
But he quickly came to his senses.
"Goodbye," he said.
He thought that Zhuang Yan probably had the same idea as him, because he watched Xie Ning for a long time, and finally kissed him very restrainedly.
When approaching, Zhuang Yan whispered in his ear, "I'll wait for you over there."
Xie Ning looked at him and said, "Okay."
Zhuang Yan: "Remember to think of me."
Xie Ning: "Well." After a pause, he added, "You too."
After saying that, he blushed first.
Zhuang Yan smiled: "I think of you every day."
After sending Zhuang Yan away, Xie Ning seemed to be no different from normal days. During the day, he chatted and studied with Mr. Xie in the hospital, and at night, he went back to his new home with Zhuang Yan to sleep.
Ms. Qiao remembered Zhuang Yan's advice and specially asked Aunt Chen to come and cook a few meals, and she would ask Xie Ning to go out with her when she had time.
The marriage of Zhuang Xie and his family has long been spread in the circle.
At first, everyone thought it was magical. After all, although same-sex marriage has been legal for many years, there are still very few people who actually get married.
But the two elders, Grandpa Zhuang and Grandpa Xie, agreed, and there was no room for others to speak up.
Xie Ning was also brought by Ms. Qiao to meet the relatives of many bookmakers.
There are many relatives in the banker, some of whom are not familiar with Ms. Qiao, but they are also related by blood.
Most of the people also took a friendly or neutral attitude towards Shaining, and there were a few who said something that sounded fine, but it always made people feel yin and yang.
Usually, there is no need for Xie Ning to speak, and Ms. Qiao can turn people back on the spot.
After that, everyone saw the dealer's attitude towards Xie Ning, but no one said anything.
"That's what these people are like." Ms. Qiao sneered and said to Xie Ning, "Don't take it to heart. When I married the banker, there were people who made irresponsible remarks, yin and yang were strange, and plainly speaking, they were sour."
Xie Ning's response was slow for a few seconds. He didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He was stunned for a while before answering: "Well."
Ms. Qiao smiled: "what are you thinking, so ecstatic."
Xie Ning's face turned red all of a sudden: "No, I didn't think about anything."
Ms. Joe raised an eyebrow.
Xie Ning originally lost a lot of weight, but recently, Ms. Qiao took good care of her, and she came back round. His skin is very white, and his eyes are a little bigger than usual when he looks at you. His eyes are very clear, the kind that is clean and clear without a trace of dirt. Just like small animals.
Ms. Qiao recalled that Zhuang Yan once said that Xie Ning looked like a rabbit, and it was indeed a bit similar.
Just as soft and cute.
Ms. Qiao's eyes swept across the tip of his reddish ears, and Xie Ning was even more uncomfortable being stared at by her.
Fortunately, Ms. Qiao quickly looked away and asked, "How is Mr. Xie's health recently?"
"It's already fine." Xie Ning replied, "The action is still a little unfavorable, but the doctor said that there is no problem, and he will be discharged from the hospital in two days."
Ms. Qiao nodded lightly: "Our old man is also thinking about it. It's fine."
Long-distance relationships are indeed an extremely tormenting period for couples in love. Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning have spent the back and forth text messages and nightly video calls.
Zhuang Yan is very busy most of the time, and will send text messages to Xie Ning during the filming interval. Xie Ning is a little free, usually replying in seconds, and then holding the mobile phone and waiting for Zhuang Yan to reply.
And every night, Zhuang Yan will send a video without hesitation.
"We've known each other for almost half a year." Zhuang Yan asked suddenly during a video chat.
Xie Ning stayed for a while: "It's only half a year?"
Zhuang Yan on the other side of the screen smiled: "I remember that the first time we met was around Christmas. It's almost half a year."
Xie Ning thought for a while and said, "It always feels like I've known you for a long time."
Zhuang Yan asked: "Have you ever heard a famous person say that some people feel familiar and nostalgic the first time you see them, that's because your souls have already met countless times, and the countless encounters , ignited with just one meeting of eyes, and a spark can bloom."
"I haven't heard of it." Xie Ning asked, "Who said that?"
Zhuang Yan said solemnly, "Max said it, the famous film director."
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "... shameless." He whispered.
Zhuang Yan said slowly: "I just want to tell you that although we have only known each other for half a year, maybe our souls have already met thousands of times, which is why I fell in love with you at first sight."
Shaining said, "Is that so?"
Zhuang Yan said with great certainty, "That's it."
The two looked at each other across the video, and laughed together very tacitly.
Half a year ago, Xie Ning never imagined that there would be such a person who would forcefully enter his heart and use his warmth to melt and warm the cold and indifferent world in his eyes.
He never thought that he would run into a Mr. Blue Whale, that he would find the warmth and peace of mind in a person, that he would receive an ingenious New Year's gift during the Chinese New Year, and that he would Received a ring for my birthday.
He also never thought that one day he would taste what it is like to miss, what it is to worry about.
His world has changed from black and white to color under the rendering of this person. It seems that nothing has changed, but he feels that everything has become vivid.
Zhuang Yan half a year ago also would not have imagined that he would be so deeply and irresistibly attracted to another person.
He never thought that the proud and mighty self would drop everything on the crew, hurry up all night, and take the latest plane, just to see someone, hug someone, and kiss someone.
In the past, Zhuang Yan would never accept anything, only the best in everything, and would not bow his head because of anyone.
But when he met Xie Ning, he felt that everything could be done, because the word Xie Ning was the best in his eyes.
Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan's long-distance relationship ended on the third day after Mr. Xie was discharged from the hospital.
That day, the crew happened to have a scene in the evening. Zhuang Yan wanted to use the most natural sunset light, so he simply shot the sunset directly in the afternoon. The actors have dinner.
And because he was in a hurry to go back and video with Xie Ning, he went straight back to the hotel after finishing work.
The moment he opened the door, he sensed something was wrong, because the light in the living room was on.
His heart jumped, he glanced up subconsciously, and found that the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when he went out in the morning, there was no extra suitcase, and there was no other pair of shoes at the door.
It really is thinking too much. He smiled helplessly, thinking, maybe he forgot to turn off the lights when he went out in the morning.
At this time, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. The last text message was sent to Xie Ning, but Xie Ning hadn't replied yet.
It should be eating at this time, Zhuang Yan thought.
When he pushed open the bedroom door, he was still startled.
He saw a man lying on the bed, as if asleep.
The man turned his back to the door. From Zhuang Yan's point of view, he could only see his thin back and slender and white neck.
He was probably exhausted and slept in a hurry. His shoes were directly by the bed, and his clothes were not changed into pajamas. He just took off his coat and put it on the chair.
And even if it's the back, Zhuang Yan can see it at a glance.
This is the man he's been thinking about.
Zhuang Yan walked to the side of the bed lightly, walked around the end of the bed, and saw the face he had dreamed about countless times.
Xie Ning's eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was slow, and his lips were red and attractive, as if he was kissing someone.
Zhuang Yan bent down slightly and reached out to touch Xie Ning's face.
Xie Ning was disturbed, his brows frowned, and his body moved a little, but he still didn't wake up.
Zhuang Yan looked at him for a few seconds, but was finally charmed, and couldn't help lowering his head and kissing him on the lips.
After a while, he sucked on Shainin's lips, pried open his teeth, and aggressively deepened the kiss that had been shallow.
This time Xie Ning was awakened. He opened his eyes in confusion, feeling a little breathless, and subconsciously pushed the person on him.
Zhuang Yan stepped back a little and looked down at him: "wake you up?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a few seconds: "...Are you back?"
"Why did you fall asleep like this?" Zhuang Yan asked.
"Waiting for you." Xie Ning said, "I just wanted to lie down for a while, but I didn't expect to be too tired, so I just fell asleep."
Zhuang Yan asked again, "Why did you come here, and you didn't tell me anything."
Xie Ning blinked: "I want to give you a surprise."
Zhuang Yan sighed: "It's a surprise... I wasn't prepared at all. The first time I saw you, I thought I was hallucinating from thinking too much. "
Xie Ning said: "You don't need to prepare anything in the first place."
Zhuang Yan: "You should send me a message anyway."
"If you know, you will definitely come to pick me up." Xie Ning reached out and hugged him, "You have been so busy recently, I don't want to increase your burden."
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to raise his head and kiss Zhuang Yan.
At this moment, the slight anxiety in Zhuang Yan's heart was also dispelled by this kiss.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just bowed his head, deepening the kiss that was offered unreservedly.
"How do you know that I'm very busy recently." After the kiss, Zhuang Yan suddenly asked in a low voice, "Is it Zhao Yang or Wang gradually complaining to you? You are quite good at bribing people's hearts."
Xie Ning: "...Uncle Zhong and Song Qingqing were bought by you back then."
Zhuang Yan was helpless: "Why are you getting sharper and sharper, who did you learn from?"
Xie Ning blinked: "I learned from you."
Zhuang Yan: "... Okay."
Before Xie Ning could say anything, Zhuang Yan pressed him into the quilt, turned over onto the bed, and held Xie Ning firmly between his arms.
"Are you still sleepy?" Zhuang Yan asked softly.
Xie Ning shook his head honestly: "I slept for a while, I feel better, but I'm a little hungry."
Zhuang Yan's body was pressed down, and his voice was a little hoarse: "There is nothing to eat now, we can do something else first."
Xie Ning was stunned for a few seconds, and then blushed: "I... I caught a day's flight, I was sweating a little, and I haven't taken a shower yet."
"It's alright." Zhuang Yan bit his earlobe, his voice was so close, yet vaguely as if it was somewhere far away.
"We can wash together later," he said.
