It was very cold in winter when it snowed. Fortunately, Zu Qi was very thickly dressed, with three sweaters wrapped inside and a thick and warm down jacket outside. The whole person looked like a tightly wrapped zongzi.
Even Xue Wan's stroller was covered with three layers of fluffy blankets, so that no wind could get in. Xue Wan, who was sleeping inside, occasionally made a snort.
In comparison, only Xue Jue, who is wearing a suit, looks extra thin and cold...
Zu Qi walked beside Xue Jue silently, the bag containing Xue Wan's baby supplies was hanging on Xue Jue's hand, and the stroller carrying Xue Wan was also pushed by Xue Jue, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with empty hands.
The shoes stepped on the soft snow, making a squeaking sound, which was especially harsh in the quiet environment.
Zu Qi buried his head and looked at the overlapping figures of him and Xue Jue on the snow, and his mind was erratic. The two of them walked a distance in relative silence, and finally Zu Qi couldn't help but say, "You..."
At the same time, Xue Jue said, "I..."
The next second, their voices stopped abruptly.
Zu Qi thought that Xue Jue would continue to speak, but after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for a word from Xue Jue.
"… "
Zu Qi tilted his head slightly, glanced at Xue Jue quietly in the corner of the light, and found that his expression was tense and seemed to be very nervous, and even the knuckles holding the handle of the stroller were white.
In my impression, Zu Qi seems to have never seen Xue Jue so uneasy.
I don't know what he's worrying about...
Thinking of this, Zu Qi couldn't help but feel amused, and he almost laughed out loud with the back of his hand to his mouth.
It was so quiet all around, Xue Jue quickly noticed Zu Qi's movements, and was a little unhappy: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." Zu Qi put his hands in his pockets again, and shrank his neck subconsciously in the cold. He said in a normal tone, "Don't you have something to tell me? Can you talk now?"
"I..." After speaking, Xue Jue was silent again.
Zu Qi: "..." He couldn't figure out, when did Xue Jue become so indecisive.
After a while, Zu Qi watched Xue Jue gradually stop, he hurriedly stood still, and then stared at Xue Jue face to face.
Xue Jue was half a head taller than Zu Qi. When he looked at Zu Qi, he lowered his eyes slightly. The surrounding light was dim, blurring the outline of his face, and half of the shadows fell on his cheeks.
At first glance, Zu Qi felt that Xue Jue's eyes were as soft as a pool of warm water, which could make people indulge in it instantly.
"I remember that you also said that you had something to tell me." Xue Jue said, rather trying to escape, "You talk first."
In fact, Zu Qi wanted to ask Xue Jue if he remembered their conversation last night. If he did, he would like to reiterate the answer.
But after thinking about it, when he really faced Xue Jue, he felt that all those words were stuck in his throat, and it was really hard to say it.
Everyone has the psychology of self-protection, and Zu Qi is the same at this moment. On the one hand, he wants Xue Jue to know his intentions, but on the other hand, he is afraid of bearing the consequences of being rejected by Xue Jue.
After struggling for a full minute, Xue Jue finally said hesitantly, "Do you remember what I asked you before going to bed last night?"
"..." Zu Qi was stunned, and looked at Xue Jue strangely for a while before whispering, "Remember."
Xue Jue didn't seem to believe it, raised the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of ridicule in his beautiful eyes. He continued to ask, "What did I ask?"
Zu Qi answered truthfully: "You ask me if I like you."
Xue Jue didn't expect Zu Qi to say the words that pressed down on his heart like a boulder so easily. His expression was unpredictable for a while, and his body subconsciously showed a tense state.
If Zu Qi leaned against Xue Jue's chest, he would hear his heart beating so intensely that it seemed to be beating a drum.
It's a pity that Zu Qi couldn't hear it. In fact, he was so nervous at this moment that he was overwhelmed. On the surface, he looked light and calm, but he could not wait to turn into a snowflake and melt into the snow under his feet on the spot.
He even regretted saying this directly...
What if Xue Jue rejects him
Zu Qi couldn't imagine how embarrassing such a scene would be, and it felt strange to hear that they were about to enter the palace of marriage and even had children, but they still maintained the relationship of strangers...
The more Zu Qi thought about it, the more desperate he became. The bad mood was like a howling sea breeze, overwhelming the sky, drowning him from head to toe in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even have a chance to breathe.
In just a few seconds, he had already thought of the ending of being kicked out of the house by Xue Jue after his failed confession.
Otherwise, forget it...
As if nothing happened.
Zu Qi thought in a loss, but before he could find a suitable excuse, he suddenly heard Xue Jue's low voice mixed with the wind: "Then what's your answer now?"
Hearing this, Zu Qi struggled for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, after getting along for so long, I found that I like you a lot."
After saying this sentence in one breath, Zu Qi, like a deflated ball, cocked his head pitifully, and didn't even have the strength to look up at Xue Jue.
To make matters worse, Xue Jue didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't heard him speak at all.
Just when Zu Qi was thinking about whether to slip away, Xue Jue's gentle laughter sounded in his ears, and then his hands stretched out and grabbed his wrist.
It's just that the hands are too cold, and the fingertips are icy cold.
Xue Jue didn't dare to hold Zu Qi's hand directly, but lightly grabbed his wrist through his clothes, and then exerted a little force. Zu Qi, who was caught off guard, exclaimed, and was brought into an embrace in the next second.
Zu Qi was so flattered that he opened his mouth slightly and even forgot to breathe. He instinctively wanted to stand up straight, but Xue Jue pressed him into his arms again, so he heard Xue Jue's heart beating violently.
Boom, boom, boom—
It seemed to coincide with his heartbeat.
"Do you want to know my answer?" Xue Jue's voice was still steady, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the trembling of the final sound.
Zu Qi took a deep breath and buried his face in Xue Jue's arms, as if the whole world was filled with the fresh and pleasant smell of Xue Jue.
"Then your answer... what is it?" Zu Qi's voice sounded muffled.
Xue Jue said: "I didn't like you very much before. I wore colored glasses for many things I did and said, and I would also subconsciously avoid where you are. I don't know if I feel right now. But I can clearly feel that I no longer exclude you from entering my life, and I am also prepared that if some particularly serious things don't happen in the future, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Xue Jue spoke very slowly, and every word seemed to be said after much deliberation, and every word was spoken with sincerity.
Zu Qi leaned in front of Xue Jue and blinked blankly. Suddenly he couldn't believe his ears. He was stunned for a long time before he slowly reacted. Suddenly, his heart was filled with excitement and ecstasy.
so…
Does Xue Jue also like him
"Zu Qi." Xue Jue called out his name, then released him, the two stood face to face, Xue Jue put his hands on Zu Qi's shoulders and refused to drop, "Would you like to?"
Zu Qi blushed and his heart was beating, his whole person was a little dazed, as if he was in the clouds, he opened his eyes and looked at Xue Jue's handsome face bathed in the warm light, opened his mouth, "I should ask you this sentence. That's right."
Xue Jue chuckled: "You ask."
Zu Qi's voice trembled: "Would you like to?"
Xue Jue replied without thinking, "I do, I was the answer a long time ago."
Zu Qi paused for two seconds, and then said: "Even if I did such despicable things to you before, would you still be willing?"
Hearing these words, Xue Jue was stunned for a while, and soon understood what Zu Qi was talking about, frowned slightly, and thought for a while with a serious expression before saying the truth: "I can try not to go anymore. mind that."
Although Xue Jue did not explicitly say that he could forgive Zu Qi, Zu Qi knew that this was the biggest concession he could make. Zu Qi, as a reader who read the entire article, knew very well that it was like a thorn. How deep is Xue Jue's heart.
Seeing that Zu Qi had not spoken, Xue Jue thought that the other party didn't like what she said, and added: "Zu Qi, I don't mean to blame you now, it's just that something happened, it happened, I can't make myself add it. Pack… "
Before he finished speaking, the light in front of Xue Jue's eyes dimmed, and there was a soft touch on his lips.
Zu Qi took the initiative to lean forward and put his arms around Xue Jue's neck. He closed his eyes nervously, and instinctively used the tip of his tongue to pry open Xue Jue's teeth.
Zu Qi's kissing skills are very poor, he only knows how to go on a rampage. Fortunately, Xue Jue cooperated enough and accommodated him enough. He almost opened his mouth and let Zu Qi sweep and suck like a young boy who just fell in love.
But then again, this is indeed Zu Qi's first true love.
In the cold snowy night, the two hugged and kissed for a long time, until Xue Wan in the stroller woke up hungry and cried, Zu Qi and Xue Jue were separated as if they had just woken up from a dream.
When they went back with the stroller, Weng Yuxiang was already pacing back and forth in the living room anxiously, and she was accusing them all.
"How can anyone still walk outside on a winter night? The ground is full of snow, and you are still pushing a stroller, aren't you too tired?" Weng Yuxiang looked at Xue Wan with distressed eyes.
Fortunately, Xue Wan fell asleep in a daze after drinking the milk, otherwise, looking at Weng Yuxiang's aggressive posture, it is estimated that he would have to catch them and have a good meal.
Zu Qi and Xue Jue, who were lucky to escape, carried Xue Wan upstairs and went back to the bedroom. Zu Qi put Xue Wan in the middle of the big bed, picked up pajamas and changed clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Half an hour later, Zu Qi came out of the bathroom and found that Xue Wan, who was lying in the middle of the bed, had disappeared, replaced by Xue Jue, who did not know where to take a bath and was wrapped up in the quilt.
From Xue Jue's only exposed shoulder, it can be judged that he should have no clothes underneath... at least his upper body.
Zu Qi was originally a dead fat house full of yellow plastic. When he saw this vivid picture, he immediately drove the train in his mind. He slowly moved towards the bed while pretending to be calm and asked: "How about ten million?"
"I took him to my mother." Xue Jue replied casually, his eyes as bright as obsidian staring at Zu Qi without blinking, he made no secret of the desire in his eyes.
Zu Qi was still a little hesitant. He saw Xue Wan's ability to entangle people today. If Xue Wan woke up and cried and made trouble later, if Weng Yuxiang sent the kid to them...
How embarrassing that is.
However, when the ten thousand words of rejection met Xue Jue's eager eyes, they instantly vanished, especially when Xue Jue stretched out a hand from under the quilt and beckoned to him, "Come here."
"… "
Zu Qi tore off his pajamas and ran over.
…
Sure enough, at two o'clock in the morning, just after finishing the work, there was a knock on the door and the cry of a certain demon king in the silent night.
Zu Qi, who had just taken the second bath, was lying on the bed with his whole body weak, and he didn't even want to move his fingers, but Xue Jue put on his nightgown and walked out the door in good spirits.
Outside the door, Weng Yuxiang looked sad: "I cried again..."
Xue Jue seemed to have long been accustomed to Xue Wan's character of piercing her ears with magic sounds at every turn, and took over Xue Wan unusually calmly. Seeing Weng Yuxiang's dejected appearance, she comforted him: "You rest early, I will coax him well."
"It's been hard work." Weng Yuxiang sighed and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, she caught a glimpse of several red marks on Xue Jue's neck in the corner of the eye. She didn't even think about it and said, "Your skin is allergic? I'll go get some plaster. Wipe it for you."
Xue Jue quickly realized something, and there was rarely a hint of embarrassment in his calm expression. He hurriedly stopped: "Mom, no need."
Weng Yuxiang said, "But on your neck..."
"I don't have allergies." Xue Jue said, "Don't worry, it will be fine tomorrow."
Weng Yuxiang was someone from the past, even if she didn't react just now, she should have guessed what the red mark on Xue Jue's neck was. What's going on in front of the child?"
Xue Jue: "..."
