Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing just spent the May Day holiday at grandpa's house like this, going to bed late and getting up late every day, eating and chatting or walking with grandpa to watch others play chess.
Grandpa Tong Qiu took the two of them out for a walk, and whenever he met acquaintances, he would introduce them generously. This is the grandson, and this is the grandson's lover.
Tong Qiu sometimes thinks about it and feels that he is very lucky. Whether it is friends or family members, or Huo Zhixing who only started to get close to each other after the divorce, they are all kind and lovely.
You must know that when same-sex marriage was legalized, quite a few people opposed it, and naturally there were those who opposed it but did not speak out.
Whether it is legal or not, whether to accept it or not is another matter.
Just like Mr. Xue in the same office as me, legalization cannot remove the colored glasses of those people.
Especially the older generation, it is not so easy for them to accept.
But grandpa is always cheerful, and introduces the two children behind him to others like babies.
Grandpa No. 2's birthday, the 80th birthday, was quite grand.
Tong Qiu's father booked a big box in the restaurant, and there were more than a dozen tables of guests, as well as close relatives and friends.
Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing sat at the front table, seeing his grandpa smiling so much that his eyes narrowed, Tong Qiu said: "When we are 80, we will also hold one."
Huo Zhixing replied: "Okay, when the time comes, make up the wedding?"
Tong Qiu glanced at him with a smile: "You are so beautiful."
In fact, Tong Qiu was tempted by Huo Zhixing's words.
When the two of them got married, there was no ceremony. They were just good friends having a meal together. At that time, they thought it was nothing, but thinking about it now, it was somewhat regrettable.
Tong Qiu thought, if there is such a day, I will remarry this surname Huo, no matter what, we have to have a proper wedding.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the person sitting next to him.
Will there be
Will it
Grandpa's birthday was over, and the two of them boarded the return train after lunch the next day.
It was originally agreed to have dinner together after returning home, but before getting off the train, Zhao Heyu called and asked Huo Zhixing to go to the institute when he arrived.
"It's not easy for you to be a policeman." Tong Qiu said.
Huo Zhixing smiled helplessly: "It's not easy for you to be family members of police officers."
Tong Qiu glared at him with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Who is the family member of the police officer? I am not anymore."
"Isn't it?" Huo Zhixing leaned over to stick to him, "Isn't it?"
His hand was compared to a pistol/gun, and his fingers rested on Tong Qiu's waist: "Teacher Tong has to think about it before answering. What if I accidentally shoot the gun..."
"Is the number of times that Police Officer Huo wiped his gun still low?" Tong Qiu looked at him with a smile, "I'll count it for you, how many times?"
Huo Zhixing smiled, "Gun/Mouth" slid to a more private place and said, "Don't forget it, there will only be more and more in the future."
These two people had an affair in the car. Seeing that they were about to get out of the car, Tong Qiu didn't want to go out with the "tent" on his back, so he pushed Huo Zhixing, gave each other mineral water and said, "Stop messing around, drink up." water, turn off the fire."
"It can't be extinguished anymore," Huo Zhixing said to Tong Qiu after taking a sip of water, "Didn't I tell you to come back to make up for you last time? You are waiting for me at home these two days."
The two of them did this once during the few days at Grandpa Tong Qiu's place. They were tied up and unhappy. Tong Qiu had been thinking about when they would come back for a "big test". Since Officer Huo offered to take the initiative, he would naturally not refuse. .
But Tong Qiu always feels that it's not good for them to be like this all the time, it's really like pao friends.
"The exam is fine," Tong Qiu said, "but before the next exam, there will be a pre-examination counseling time. Officer Huo, please get ready."
It was after five o'clock when the two of them got off the train, Huo Zhixing watched Tong Qiu get on the train first, and then he took a taxi to go to the institute.
Sitting in the car, Huo Zhixing called He Hongtao to ask about Zou Kai, but the other party didn't answer the phone, so he guessed that he was busy.
During the three days when I went back to my hometown with Tong Qiu, I was really relaxed. I could temporarily put aside my identity as a policeman and all my worries, and be with him all the time, living a simple and leisurely life.
It's like living an early retirement, enjoying a short-lived paradise, but eventually have to come back to reality.
And the reality they are facing, right now, is Zou Kai who may appear at any time.
As soon as Huo Zhixing set foot in this city, he became uneasy, wishing there was a random door, so that he could open the door and walk to Tong Qiu's side.
It was after six o'clock when Tong Qiu got home, it was still dark, and he stood at the gate of the community and searched for the key during the day.
"Teacher Tong is back!"
Tong Qiu held the key and was about to go in when he heard the voice and turned around to see the little security guard he knew.
Although Tong Qiu moved here not long ago, he is quite familiar with the security guards and property management in the community, just like when he lived with Huo Zhixing, the neighbors in the neighborhood got along well with Tong Qiu.
"I'm back." Tong Qiu greeted with a smile.
The little security guard said: "I wanted to ring your doorbell just now. I have your courier. Wait a minute. I'll bring it over."
Tong Qiu was surprised, he didn't buy anything, why did the courier come? Still delivered here.
He stood at the door and waited, watching the little security guard take out a courier from the security room.
"Thank you." Tong Qiu thanked, took the courier and walked in with a puzzled expression.
He touched it, and there was a flat rectangular box in the courier bag. When he shook it, it rattled inside, as if it was a pretty solid thing.
He glanced at the sender's information. It was a name and number he didn't recognize, and the address was also out of province, from a town he didn't even know where.
When he got home, Tong Qiu didn't rush to open the package, but called the sender first, but it was an empty number.
After that, he called all the people who might send him something, just a few—Chu Yao and Huo Zhixing.
Tong Qiu didn't tell his parents about the divorce at all, so they naturally wouldn't know that he moved here, and it was impossible for them to send the courier.
Unexpectedly, both Chu Yao and Huo Zhixing said that they didn't send him anything.
Huo Zhixing asked, "What is it?"
"I haven't opened it yet." Tong Qiu said, "It's okay, I'll just ask, maybe it was sent by someone else, you should do your work first."
Huo Zhixing was preparing to go on a mission at the time, so he didn't say much to him, he only said that he would be busy until late tonight and would contact him tomorrow.
Tong Qiu asked to be careful, and then hung up the phone.
He found a pair of scissors, opened the courier, and frowned the moment he opened it.
Inside lay a spring.
Tong Qiu sat on the sofa, tilted his head and stared at the spring for a long time, thinking of several possibilities.
Teachers in other classes have also received this kind of courier before, and after checking, it was sent by students in their own class, who threatened to retaliate because they were dissatisfied with the teacher's education method.
But Tong Qiu thinks he doesn't have such a student, he never speaks harshly to a student, even if a student makes a mistake, he still upholds the principle of "understand it with reason, move it with emotion" to educate.
The students not only have no enmity with him, but also have a good relationship.
If you want to send him sweets, how can you send springs
Tong Qiu was the first to rule out this possibility.
Then he thought of Fang Baicheng.
Tong Qiu rolled his eyes, buttoned the express box, and casually stuffed this disgusting thing into the drawer under the coffee table.
He almost forgot about this person, unexpectedly, Fang Baicheng was really tenacious, getting more courageous as he got frustrated, and now he is playing with this.
Tong Qiu didn't take it seriously, what should he do
But the next day, when he went to school, the uncle of the doorman handed him another courier. The sender was the same as before. When he opened it, it was another knife.
This time it's a military//knife.
Tong Qiu felt annoyed, so he found a time to call Fang Baicheng.
It's just that the call was not connected, and the service of the other party's mobile phone was suspended.
Although he knew that Fang Baicheng wouldn't cause any serious problems, no one could stand doing it like this all day long. Tong Qiu was a little anxious, but he could only adjust his mood as soon as possible. There was still a month of college entrance examinations, so he didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters.
The evening self-study ended, it was still 9:30, Tong Qiu was the last one to leave the class, and it was already 9:45 when he walked out of the school gate.
He strolled to the subway station, got on the subway and sent Huo Zhixing a message, asking if he would come tonight.
As a result, Huo Zhixing called directly and said, "I have been waiting downstairs at your house for more than half an hour."
Tong Qiu smiled: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Let me tell you, you can leave those students behind and come back?"
Tong Qiu said without hesitation: "Of course, how can I get Officer Huo to wait for me?"
Huo Zhixing didn't believe him, he knew who Tong Qiu was.
"Where are you?"
"There are still two stops."
Huo Zhixing said to pick him up at the subway station, Tong Qiu muttered: "Am I an underage girl? Afraid of walking at night? You can chat with them in the security room, don't mess around."
Huo Zhixing didn't want to chat with others, so he wanted to chat with Teacher Tong, so the two of them didn't hang up the phone. Tong Qiu left the subway station, chatted with Huo Zhixing, and walked home.
The area where he lives is a newly developed urban area. Although it has grown to a large scale in the past two years, compared with the bustling area, there are still fewer people and cars. The subway station was just opened to traffic two months ago. , there are very few people outside.
Tong Qiu always comes home late, so he is used to walking by himself, chatting with Huo Zhixing today, he seems to have a companion.
But he somehow felt that something was wrong, as if someone was following him.
Walking halfway, at a corner, Tong Qiu suddenly turned his head and didn't even see a ghost.
He curled his lips, thinking that maybe he was too nervous, because Fang Baicheng's two knives made him suffer from persecution paranoia.
"Is the handsome guy afraid of walking at night by himself?" Huo Zhixing asked him with a teasing smile.
"You are really enough." Tong Qiu hung up the phone, because after he turned around, he saw Huo Zhixing walking towards him along the streetlight, "Can't we just let you wait downstairs?"
Huo Zhixing took two quick steps, and the two finally met at the "Magpie Bridge". He naturally held Tong Qiu's hand, and the two walked home side by side. You were abducted by some crooked melon at night, who will I sleep with tonight?"
Tong Qiu glared at him: "Huo Zhixing, can you policemen speak so casually like this?"
"You can't do it with others," Huo Zhixing looked at him with a smile, "With you, talking loudly is just the first step tonight."
