Lin Yao's words made Guan Ze stiffen completely, and his hands holding the steering wheel also became a little stiff. He didn't say anything, but released the accelerator and the car slowly slid forward.
After calming down, he smiled and said, "Is this the first time you've said this to someone?"
"Yeah," Lin Yao nodded. The front of the car was facing the sun. He raised his hand to cover his eyes and leaned back in his chair, smiling a little embarrassedly. "I've simulated it before, but I never had the chance to talk about it."
"Simulation?" Guan Ze turned his head and looked. Lin Yao's profile and clean smile in the sun made him forget for a moment that he was driving.
"Isn't it a bit silly?" Lin Yao covered his eyes and chuckled a few times, "Just imagine the scene, and then how to say it, the expression and tone, should it be affectionate or romantic..."
"You have nothing better to do than to think about this for your own amusement." Guan Ze smiled.
"That's right. Ever since I started liking someone, I've always been entertaining myself," Lin Yao squinted his eyes and turned around, "until I met you."
Guan Ze's car turned onto the main road. The sun was shining brightly. It was the most comfortable to bask in the sun in the car in winter. He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I don't know," Lin Yao pressed his stomach, "I didn't feel anything, I was just happy."
"Let's buy some food and go out to bask in the sun." Guan Ze saw a supermarket on the side of the road and turned straight over.
"Okay," Lin Yao became interested, "There is no parking space..."
There are several parking spaces on the roadside, but they are all full, and the entrance to the underground parking lot is also full of cars waiting to enter.
"Think about what you want to eat first, think quickly." Guan Ze turned the steering wheel twice, drove the car onto the sidewalk and stopped.
"Why are you parking here?" Lin Yao was stunned. "You're waiting for a ticket!"
"Hurry! Captain Lin!" Guan Ze opened the car door, jumped out and ran to the supermarket, "There's something going on up ahead!"
"You're crazy!" Lin Yao quickly opened the car door and jumped out to chase after him, "Lock the car! How are we going to retreat if the enemy drives away with our car?"
After entering the supermarket, Guan Ze backed out a car and headed straight for the food area. The two of them threw everything they saw into the car as if they were robbing someone.
"Report to Captain Lin," Guan Ze said while throwing food, "I remembered something. The car is locked. If the enemy can't drive away, they might blow up our car..."
"Quick and decisive!" Lin Yao grabbed a few more bags of snacks and pushed the cart towards the cashier, "Cover me!"
Lin Yao's shout was a little loud, and many people who were shopping nearby looked over. Guan Ze suppressed his laughter and answered seriously, "Yes!"
"Mom, they are fighting!" A little boy next to them stared at them excitedly.
The child's mother looked at Guan Ze awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Guan Ze gestured to the little boy: "Go find me!"
"Yeah!" The child immediately squatted behind a shelf.
Several long lines were lining up majestically in front of the cash register. Lin Yao lay on the shopping cart, feeling frustrated: "It's over, team member 250, we were ambushed..."
"Captain Lin, hold on, have confidence," Guan Ze patted him on the back and checked the things in the car again, "Did you take this bag of milk powder?"
"Ah?" Lin Yao took it and looked at it. There really was a bag of milk powder. "I took it? Never mind. You can put it in the office and drink it later. It will help you recuperate."
"Okay." Guan Ze nodded.
It was indeed necessary to recuperate his body, and Zhang Xing prescribed a lot of medicine for him. Fortunately, he considered that he might have to go to find Lin Yao first after leaving the hospital, so he didn't go to get it. Otherwise, if Lin Yao saw that pile of medicine, who knows what would happen.
After waiting in line for nearly half an hour, it was finally their turn. After paying the bill, the two of them ran towards the supermarket entrance with two large bags of food.
As soon as he came out of the supermarket, Lin Yao saw a female police officer standing next to Daqie.
"Fuck, the enemy is really fast!" Lin Yao quickly ran over there, "Hurry up, two hundred dollars, Master Guan!"
"The price has been reduced. Now it's 150." Guan Ze said slowly and was too lazy to run.
"150 is not money! 150 is enough for my dad to buy two packs of cigarettes!" Lin Yao ignored him and rushed to the car.
“Sister, sister,” Lin Yao rushed over and threw the bag onto the front of the car, then slapped her down with his palm, “Sister!”
The noise startled the policewoman, who was holding a pen to write something and glared at him: "What are you shouting for? Why don't you call me auntie?"
"Auntie!" Lin Yao leaned over to take a look with a big face, "We are in a hurry, we really have no choice but to stop here, Auntie, you haven't written the car number yet, please raise your jade hand, please, Auntie."
"How can you be like this? You just open your mouth and yell," the policewoman laughed and waved the pen in her hand at him, "Don't disturb my work."
"Excuse me, officer." Guan Ze came over, handed the bag to Lin Yao, and smiled at the policewoman. "We really have no place to stop. We are in a hurry to go to the welfare home to see the children. The appointment is before lunch..."
"Orphanage?" The policewoman looked up at Guan Ze.
"Well, we didn't expect the parking space here to be so tight," Guan Ze skillfully reported the name of Lu Teng's welfare home, and then looked at his watch. "The appointment time is almost up, and I was afraid that the children would be anxious waiting, so I parked the car here. I was really anxious and had no choice."
"The welfare home..." The policewoman hesitated for a few seconds, then opened the bag in Lin Yao's hand and took a look. It was full of food. Finally, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go quickly. Don't park your car randomly in the future!"
"Thank you, officer." Guan Ze smiled and thanked the policewoman, then opened the door and got into the car.
"Thank you, officer, for your mercy." Lin Yao quickly jumped into the car.
"This isn't right," Lin Yao sat in the car for a while before catching his breath. "She refused even though I called her auntie. How could she let you go just because you lied?"
"You don't look as reliable as me." Guan Ze laughed.
"Really? I look quite honest. My dad always says that I look too honest and have a natural talent for lying. But there are so many foxes in my family that I never have the chance to be a good liar." Lin Yao flipped down the sun visor and stared at the mirror for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "No! That's not the reason!"
"What is that?"
"You smiled at her," Lin Yao squinted his eyes and turned to look at Guan Ze, "How did you smile at her? Smile for me to see."
Guan Ze smiled at him: "That's how you smile."
"Fuck," Lin Yao was stunned. Guan Ze's smile made him have difficulty breathing for a moment. After coming to his senses, he felt very unhappy again, "Why are you smiling at her like that, bitch!"
"Aren't you reluctant to part with the 150 yuan?" Guan Ze tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "Just because you called me aunt with your teeth bared, if I didn't smile like that, I would probably be fined 250 yuan."
"Go ahead and talk nonsense," Lin Yao said with a sigh, and then he reached out and touched Guan Ze's face, "Smile again."
Guan Ze felt a little helpless, so he turned around and smiled at him again.
"Why don't you usually smile at me like this?" Lin Yao frowned.
"That's a fake smile," Guan Ze glanced at him, "I usually smile like this to female customers."
"You are so shameless..." Lin Yao said with a series of clicks of the tongue, and at the end he added, "Shameless."
Guan Ze took Lin Yao to a park on the outskirts of the city. The greening of the park had been completed, but the entertainment facilities had not yet been built. It was far from the city and there were very few people.
Although the large area of grass was dry and yellow, it was covered with thick yellow leaves, and it looked golden in the sun.
"You know all about places like this," Lin Yao threw the bag onto the fallen leaves and ran back and forth on them several times, "It's really fun."
Guan Ze picked up the bag, found a sunny spot, and sat down against a tree: "When I have nothing to do, I sometimes come here to stay in the sun for a few hours. Isn't it comfortable?"
"Yes," Lin Yao lay down beside him, resting his head on his legs, shielding his eyes from the sun through his fingers and looking up at the sky. The blue sky and white clouds made it easier for people to breathe. "Are you here alone?"
"Well, who else can I come with?" Guan Ze smiled, took out a few pieces of chocolate from the bag, peeled them and put them in his mouth.
"As for me," Lin Yao closed his eyes, and soon his body was warmed by the sun, "Whenever you want to go somewhere in the future, just ask me to go with you. Don't always go alone. It's much better to be with someone. We can talk and have fun together."
"Yeah." Guan Ze lowered his head and gently stroked Lin Yao's face with his fingers.
"The New Year is late this year," Lin Yao muttered with his eyes closed, "I haven't looked forward to the New Year for a long time. When I was a child, I always looked forward to it. My mother bought me a pair of leather shoes in the summer and said I could only wear them during the New Year. I squatted by the shoe cabinet every day looking forward to the New Year. Later, my brother simply hung the calendar on the shoe cabinet door... Now I look forward to the New Year every day. Let's go to the temple fair together and have a few strings of candied haws each. What flavor do you like? I especially like the ones with red bean paste filling..."
Guan Ze leaned his head against the tree and closed his eyes. He had hardly ever cried as far as he could remember, and he rarely had the urge to cry. Now, listening to Lin Yao muttering in the sun, he suddenly felt his eyes sore and his chest was blocked.
"By the way, let's go out and have fun tonight. I've made an agreement with Lian Jun and the others that I'll be the host tonight." Lin Yao raised his hand and touched Guan Ze's face, "Are you free tonight?"
"It's okay," Guan Ze held Lin Yao's hand, bit his fingertips gently, and put his palm against his face. Lin Yao's palm was very warm, "Will you sing tonight?"
"If you want to hear me sing, I'll sing." Lin Yao chuckled for a while, opened his eyes a little and looked at him, "My singing is very nice, isn't it?"
"Yes," Guan Ze smiled, "What a surprise, I thought you would definitely be out of tune."
"That's the only advantage I have," Lin Yao sighed, "I've been slow in learning since elementary school. My mom sent me to learn the violin. She could play the violin in tune just by sitting beside the teacher. But I played the violin every day but still couldn't learn it. My mom was so depressed that she secretly discussed with my dad about taking me to get an IQ test. She wondered if I didn't get enough nutrition when I was born, or if I hit my head against the bedpost during delivery and my brain is not working well..."
Guan Ze laughed for a long time, grabbed Lin Yao's collar and pulled him in front of him, staring at him seriously for a while: "You have many advantages, and basically no disadvantages."
"Really?" Lin Yao wrinkled his nose, a little proud, "It turns out that no matter how a wife sees her husband, he thinks it's good."
"It's really good," Guan Ze lowered his head and licked his lips, "and it tastes good."
"Your uncle," Lin Yao was startled, pushed him away, and jumped up from the ground very nimbly, turning around a few times with a back full of yellow leaves on his back, looking around nervously. In the distance, there were a few people walking slowly by. He breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Guan Ze, "Do you think this is your backyard, hero?"
"I love seeing you like this," Guan Ze also stood up and brushed off the leaves on him, "Let's go for a walk."
Lin Yao felt that the time he spent with Guan Ze always passed particularly quickly. It felt like they had only been walking around in the park for a short while and an entire afternoon had passed. As the sun went down, the wind turned cool.
"Did we just have a collective amnesia for two hours?" Lin Yao zipped up his chin and hunched his neck, half squeezing in beside Guan Ze. "How come it's five o'clock already?"
"It's so comfortable to sunbathe." Guan Ze smiled and hugged his waist.
"Yes, it's comfortable," Lin Yao waved his arms, "I'm all tanned and softened."
"Really? Let me feel it." Guan Ze's hand slipped into his clothes and touched his back. "It's quite soft and smooth."
"Guan Ze, you are particularly rogue today. Did you notice that?" Lin Yao pulled his clothes on. "You are like an old rogue."
"I'm not old." Guan Ze corrected him.
"The one who never ages is me," Lin Yao pointed at his own face, "See? I'm still young."
"Yes, I made a fortune."
"That's good to know."
Lin Yao made an appointment with Lian Jun and the others to go singing directly. He didn't like to have dinner with that group of people. Mainly, he wanted to have dinner with Guan Ze and the other two.
The two of them could chat while eating, and they could say whatever they wanted without worrying about anything else. However, before they finished their meal, Lian Jun called: "Lin Yaoyao, we're here, where are you?"
"I'll eat half of it. You guys go ahead and have fun. Order yourselves." Lin Yao looked at the time and it was almost time.
"Come here quickly," Lian Jun lowered his voice, "I'm here with you today, you have to give me some face."
"Okay," Lin Yao was stunned. This was the first time Lian Jun came out to play with others. "I'll be there right away."
When it was time to pay the bill, Guan Ze was about to take out his wallet but was stopped by Lin Yao's rather ferocious look. He had no choice but to stop and watched Lin Yao pay the bill contentedly and even asked for an invoice.
"Who should we report to? Your design department doesn't report these expenses." Guan Ze stood up.
"Just write a few words," Lin Yao handed the invoice to Guan Ze, "I'll keep it for my files."
Guan Ze was happy. He took the invoice, thought about it, picked up the pen on the table and wrote a few words: "Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Yao took it and took a look. Guan Ze's handwriting was very beautiful. It was not neat, but it exuded a sense of dominance. He silently praised him in his heart. A former gangster could write so well...
The key point is that the above content made Lin Yao smile with satisfaction.
The meal was delicious, thank you husband.
"You're really good at talking." Lin Yao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He pinched Guan Ze's butt quickly and said, "Come on, your husband will take you to sing."
When he entered the box, people were already howling inside. As soon as the door opened, Lin Yao was so shocked that he almost didn't have the courage to go in.
Lian Jun was holding a microphone and shouting at the top of his lungs with a girl next to him. When he saw Lin Yao coming in, Lian Jun still shouted into the microphone: "Yaoyao!"
"Junjun!" Lin Yao also shouted, "Who can turn off the sound? Are you hard of hearing? Why are you killing people..."
Lian Jun stopped the song, jumped up from the sofa, and dragged the girl in front of Lin Yao: "My friend, Xiaoyu."
"Hello." Lin Yao took a look at the girl and was a little surprised. She looked like a clean and pure girl. Did Lian Jun change his luck through practice
"My childhood friend Lin Yao," Lian Jun patted Lin Yao's shoulder and introduced him to Xiao Yu, then pointed at Guan Ze, "This is Guan Ze, Lin Yao's boyfriend."
"Brother... hello." Xiaoyu smiled and greeted them.
After Lian Jun's introduction, Lin Yao didn't know whether he should nod or not. Although he hadn't told Lian Junming about it, it had been no secret to Lian Jun for so many years. But he still felt embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Stop blocking the door," Qi Jian's voice came over. It was probably because he had sung a song before that the mute was hoarse. "We are meeting again after a long time."
"Brother Qi." Lin Yao nodded to him, greeted other people casually, and then slumped down on the sofa.
Guan Ze sat down next to him, his hand still casually resting on the back of the sofa behind him.
This was the second time that Lin Yao felt Guan Ze's pleasant scent surrounding him in the dim light of the box, but this time he didn't drink, nor was he as nervous as before that he could hardly breathe.
It’s different now!
Lin Yao leaned back and rested his head on Guan Ze's arm. He put his hand behind Guan Ze's back and reached into his clothes to touch Guan Ze's elastic muscles, then laughed at the big screen in the box.
"Do you like this?" Guan Ze leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"Ah?" Lin Yao came back to his senses and glanced at the screen. He didn't know who had selected a certain model opera, and he didn't know where the dubbing came from, but an old lady version of Tiemei was singing on the stage. He was startled and glanced at Guan Ze, "Yes, I like this style. Why don't you pretend to be one for me when you go back?"
"Okay, I don't mind. I'll sing another song for you after I dress up," Guan Ze smiled, hooked his arm around his neck, and kissed his earlobe, "Is this considered foreplay?"
"Get out!" Lin Yao shouted. When he thought of Guan Ze rushing towards him with a long braid and a little red jacket, he felt that he would not be able to get hard until next year.
Guan Ze was so happy that he laughed for a long time before saying, "Hubby, sing a song for me."
"Give me some time, I'm scared." Lin Yao took the tea on the table and took a sip. "I'll sing you a romantic song later."
"Okay." Guan Ze pinched the hair on Lin Yao's forehead, his eyes reluctant to leave. He just wanted to keep looking at Lin Yao's clean and sunny face like this, without getting tired of it.
The box was a bit noisy and the air was not very pleasant. Guan Ze felt a little dizzy after staying there for a while. Lin Yao was listening to Lian Jun's story of chasing girls with great interest and didn't notice him. He squeezed Lin Yao's hand and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Well," Lin Yao turned around and pinched his hand with his backhand, "Hurry up and finish peeing. I've already prepared the mood and I'll sing for you when you come back."
"Okay." Guan Ze smiled, stood up and walked out of the box.
The air in the corridor was much better. Guan Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he came out and slowly walked towards the bathroom.
After washing his face at the sink, Guan Ze felt a little better, but still felt a little dizzy, so he didn't rush back to the box and planned to stay here and relax.
Someone entered the bathroom. Guan Ze didn't see who it was, but the person walked straight to him after coming in.
"Brother Guan."
"Yeah." Guan Ze responded and turned his head to take a look. It was Qi Jian.
"Are you drunk?" Qi Jian asked.
"I didn't drink." Guan Ze didn't know what Qi Jian wanted to say. Normally, knowing that he was here, Qi Jian would not follow him in even if he had to pee urgently. "What's wrong?"
"Can you tell me Ning Juan's phone number?" Qi Jian asked after a moment of hesitation.
"No." Guan Ze refused without thinking. He didn't ask Qi Jian how he knew Ning Juan was back, but if Ning Juan was willing, she would naturally contact Qi Jian. If not, he certainly would not tell anyone her number.
"I don't mean anything else," Qi Jian said anxiously, "I just..."
In fact, the fact that Qi Jian had not given up on Ning Juan for so many years made Guan Ze have a good impression of Qi Jian, but this person had always been a frivolous person and did not act seriously, so he was not willing to interfere in the affairs between the two of them. He also had a lot of his own affairs that he didn't know how to deal with.
"I don't care about your business. It's useless to tell me what you want to say. Ning Juan is willing to listen to you, but she doesn't want you to keep it to yourself," Guan Ze waved his hand. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his eyes suddenly went dark, accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness. His body swayed, and he quickly supported himself on the edge of the sink. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this."
"Uncomfortable?" Qi Jian reached out to help him up. This obvious state of discomfort made Qi Jian a little nervous. "How about I call Lin Yao..."
"What?" Guan Ze turned his head, the darkness in front of him disappeared, his vision returned to normal, and he stared at Qi Jian for a while until Qi Jian's face changed color, then he said, "If he knows, I will destroy you."
