"Of course." Peaceful water swallowed the pill, put the cup aside, and La Xiuning sat down.
Seeing Zeping's serious look after thinking of something, Xiuning asked in a low voice, "Do you have something to tell me?" He knew Zeping very well, and he would never hide anything from him.
Zeping stared at his face for a moment, rubbed his fingers between his palms, and then said, "My parents... want to see you."
Xiu Ning was stunned, and looked at Zeping without saying a word.
Zeping smiled bitterly, and then said nothing, but directly kissed Xiuning's lips.
Xiuning felt Zeping's kiss, and also felt his confusion.
Zeping had already told his parents about this before, but it is conceivable that his great-parents and great-grandmother were furious, and Zeping himself may be the most calm person.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to. I don't want them to embarrass you." After a kiss, he said calmly. He didn't want to hurt his parents' hearts, but he also didn't want to hurt Xiuning's hearts.
Xiuning was helpless, in fact, no matter how he took the initiative, only in this matter he always felt that he owed Zeping.
"Okay, I'll go, when?" Xiuning just said lightly. He didn't want to escape, just for fear of causing harm to Zeping.
It was not that he had never met Zeping's parents, but this time it was different from the previous ones. This time, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Zeping looked at Xiuning with a complicated expression, this person had loved him for so long, how could he be willing to hurt him again? But this matter, both he and Xiuning are clear, can never escape.
They don't have to tell outsiders, but they can't hide it from their parents.
"Lawyer Zeng."
The next day, Zeping was going to celebrate because the team won the lawsuit. Zeping knew that he couldn’t push it off, so he had to call Xiuning and said that he would not go home for dinner. Xiuning was worried about his health and asked him to take less care of him. If you drink alcohol, try to drink as little as possible. Zeping said he knew, and asked Xiuning to pick him up. Anyway, he couldn't drive after drinking. Xiuning agreed.
As soon as he hung up the phone, someone called his name behind him.
Zeng Zeping didn't have to look back to know who it was. The only female in the team, Xi_ng Keli, was very fond of him. The woman who once threatened to pursue him, but was rejected by him Wan Wan, was a very bold and open-minded person.
"I heard that you didn't drive over today, can I drive you?" Because they had already made it clear to each other, it was a colleague's attitude towards him, Keli, at this time.
Zeng Zeping also felt that there was no need to refuse, so he agreed.
Along the way, we were talking about some questions about the case. Ke Li also wanted to ask some personal matters, but they were all mentioned by Zeng Zeping. Although Ke Li was disappointed, it was not easy to show her face.
When they got to the dining room of the party, some of the other people who arrived early saw Zeng Zeping and Ke Li came in together, and they joked about the two of them, but Zeng Zeping smiled lightly and said, "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, I already live with someone."
Ke Li was taken aback, because Zeng Zeping had never told anyone that he had a girlfriend, and based on her observation and understanding of Zeng Zeping, she did not find any trace of him having a girlfriend.
"I can't see that you are doing such a good job of keeping secrets." Ke Li smiled to hide her surprise.
Zeng Zeping just smiled and didn't say any more.
That night, Zeng Zeping was inevitably drinking a lot of alcohol, and after a few drinks, his head started to hurt a little.
"Lawyer Zeng? Your face is not good, do you care?" Ke Li has always paid the most attention to Zeng Zeping, and she asked in a low voice when she looked at his face, which was obviously paler than before.
Before Zeng Zeping could answer, another person came over to toast him.
"Zeping, if I knew your alcohol level earlier, I'll see who gets drunk first tonight."
Zeng Zeping just smiled and said to the man, "My alcohol intake is not as good as you think."
Ke Li stood up and stood in front of Zeng Zeping at this time, "He drank a lot just now." After speaking, the person who was toasting turned around and asked Zeng Zeping, "You don't seem to hate comfort, do you want me to take you back? ?"
"Keli, don't make a bad scene here, are you looking for a chance to be alone with Zeping?"
"So what?" Ke Li challenged.
"Then have to drink this cup before leaving, Zeping, you won't give me face, will you?" The man was entangled.
"I'm fine, someone will pick me up in a while, and I should be fine with a few more drinks." Zeng Zeping said at this time.
I said so, of course Ke Li had no choice but to watch Zeng Zeping drink another glass.
"You said someone would come to pick you up, is that the one who lives with you?" Ke Li was embarrassed to ask directly if it was her girlfriend, so she asked that on purpose.
Zeng Zeping looked at Ke Li, then nodded.
So when Xiuning appeared, Ke Li was taken aback.
At this time, everyone drank a little too much wine, and a group of people were making trouble and they didn't pay much attention to Zhuo Xiuning. Zhuo Xiuning saw Zeping at a glance, and Zeping turned his head as if he could sense it, and saw Xiu Xiuning. Ning then smiled, "You're here."
Xiuning nodded, looked at his face and frowned, "Drinking?" he asked in a low voice.
"There's nothing you can do in this situation." Zeping said with a smile.
Zhuo Xiuning naturally raised his hand to touch Zeng Zeping's forehead, which was obviously hotter than yesterday.
"Did you tell them?" Xiuning took Zeping's hand and pulled him up.
"Needless to say, let's go." Zeping didn't hide either, as if this action was natural.
But at this moment, Ke Li suddenly asked, "Are you living with a man...?" She always thought it was Zeng Zeping's girlfriend, but she never thought that it would be a man.
Only then did Zhuo Xiuning notice Keli sitting next to Zeping, he let go of Zeping's hand without a trace, as if he just pulled Zeping up, he said with a smile, "I'm just one of his friends. ."
Ke Li frowned suspiciously, but she really couldn't see anything from the man in front of her. She only felt that his expression and words were so seamless, and the smile on his face was so calm that it made people think that he was an excellent person. An attractive man, if it wasn't for what Zeng Zeping said earlier, she wouldn't think about it at all.
But she didn't know that Zhuo Xiuning's love for Zeng Zeping had been covered up by him for more than ten years. It was easier for Xiuning to admit that he and Zeping were just good friends. A good friend for more than ten years, no one would doubt him when he said that, not to mention that he never thought of making his relationship with Zeping public.
At this time, Zeping felt a sudden pain in his heart because of his words and his letting go. How could he not know Xiuning's thoughts, Xiuning could hide everything so well just to not embarrass him, why did Xiuning still not? He will think of himself, he will always be the first in Xiuning's heart.
"I took him back first, and his enthusiasm has not yet subsided." Xiuning still smiled, his smile always seemed polite, but his politeness made people feel very distant.
Zeping didn't like him like this, every time he saw Xiuning like this, his heart would feel aching, very painful. He couldn't deny that Xiuning in his heart had surpassed everyone, including the former Huamin.
"He is not only a friend, but also my lover." Zeng Zeping said suddenly, his voice was not loud, but he said it clearly, and Ke Li could hear it clearly, but she couldn't help but ask again, "You … say what?"
Xiuning was stunned and turned to stare at Zeping.
"I made it very clear." Zeping smiled, then looked at Xiuning, "Let's go."
Xiuning smiled bitterly, Zeping knew that Xiuning didn't really care about this, but he did care, even if he let everyone know that the person he liked was with Xi_ng, it didn't matter, as long as the person was Xiuning.
"Zeping..." Xiuning's voice carried a sigh. He supported Zeping and said nothing.
Ke Li looked at the backs of the two of them, but did not regain her senses for a long time.
