On New Year's Eve, Duan Shutong returned to Duan's house, planning to have a peaceful New Year's Eve dinner with his family.
Dong Hanyue felt sorry for him and refused to let him help, saying: "If you are really busy, you might as well call your sister and ask why she hasn't come back yet."
Alas, one or two are not worrying.
Duan Shutong responded, and was about to make a call when there was the sound of a car outside the courtyard, probably his sister came back.
He got up and went out to greet him, but saw two people getting out of the car, one was Duan Sifu who was smartly dressed, and the other was Song Chi who was wearing a down jacket.
As soon as Duan Sifu stepped out of the car door, Song Chi put the long coat in his hand on her body, with a concerned expression, and then took out large and small bags of gifts from the trunk.
Duan Shutong: "..."
His sister and Song Chi are really together
Seeing him standing blankly at the door, Duan Sifu raised her exquisite eyebrows slightly, "Will you not welcome me home if you block the door?"
"No..." Duan Shutong hurriedly stepped aside, meeting Song Chi's eyes, Song Chi pursed his lips and smiled, looking quite nervous and shy.
At this time, Dong Hanyue asked Duan Shutong in the kitchen: "Have you called to ask?"
Duan Shutong said dryly: "Sister is back."
"Are you back?" Dong Hanyue came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, but froze instantly when she saw Song Chi.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Duan Shutong coughed lightly, and rescued the two, "Mom, this is my colleague Song Chi."
Song Chi seemed to have been pressed a switch, and bowed deeply, "Hello, Auntie!"
Dong Hanyue's froze smile gradually bloomed. If you look carefully, you can still see a little disappointment, "Hello, hello, the young man is so handsome! Sit down, sit down."
She thought it was the boyfriend brought home by her daughter, but it turned out to be her son's colleague. She was pleasantly surprised, alas!
Duan Sifu asked, "Where's Dad?"
Dong Hanyue said with disgust: "I went to visit, and I don't know what to do every day."
"Who is speaking ill of me?" A snort came from the door.
Duan Shengye stepped into the door with a smile, and was about to chat with Dong Hanyue, but when he saw Song Chi beside Duan Sifu, he was also stunned.
Duan Sifu calmly said as if announcing something at a company meeting: "Dad, Mom, this is me, Song Chi, my boyfriend."
Song Chi clutched his clothes nervously, and bowed earnestly again, "Hello, auntie, hello uncle."
Duan Shengye and Dong Hanyue looked at each other, and they both saw surprises in their eyes. Dong Hanyue reacted instantly and said hurriedly: "Okay, Xiao Song, you are eating here today."
After finishing speaking, he gestured to Duan Shengye with his eyes.
Duan Shengye understood in seconds, sat on the main sofa pretending to be majestic, poured some tea from Duan Shutong, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Xiao Song, how old are you this year? What do you do? How many people are there in the family? "
The nervousness gradually dissipated, Song Chi's fair face was full of obedience, and his big eyes looked at Duan Shengye for a moment, looking very sincere, "Uncle, I'm over twenty-eight years old, and I'm currently working in the Chunqiu Laboratory, and I'm still at home parents."
Duan Shengye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Duan Shutong.
Duan Shutong nodded.
"Then what do your parents do?" Duan Shengye asked again.
"They are all teachers." Song Chi smiled shyly.
Duan Shengye nodded, "The teacher is very good, teaching and educating people, the world is full of peaches and plums."
Duan Shutong: "..."
If he remembered correctly, Song Chi's parents should both be professors at Shuimu University, and they are both bigwigs in national key scientific research institutes. Dr. Song must be too low-key.
Duan Shengye wanted to continue asking, but Duan Sifu said directly: "I will go to his house tomorrow, if there is anything I want to know, we will talk about it when you meet in the future."
Duan Shengye: "..."
In front of his daughter, he was always the one who lost. What else can I do? Let it go.
On New Year's Eve, because of Song Chi's arrival, Dong Hanyue was in a great mood, and asked about Song Chi's taste and their plans for the future.
Duan Sifu couldn't get angry when she met her mother, she could only watch Song Yangyang blushing in embarrassment when asked.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Duan Sifu took Song Chi out, and Duan Shengye went to visit to find someone to play chess. Seeing that Duan Shutong was still at home, Dong Hanyue couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going out?"
Duan Shutong was puzzled, "Why am I going out?" Wouldn't it be good to stay with you at home
Dong Hanyue poked him, "Your sister has taken Xiao Song out, why are you staying at home?"
The implication is quite obvious.
Duan Shutong deliberately said: "If I go out, I won't come back tonight."
"It doesn't matter if you don't come back, as long as you bring a table tomorrow, I have no objection." Dong Hanyue perfectly interpreted what is called "water poured out by a married son".
Duan Shutong bent his lips and smiled, since it was the Queen Mother's order, he had no choice but to obey.
He took out his mobile phone and sent Xi Duan a WeChat message: I don’t think I’ve been to your house yet.
Xi Duan replied quickly: I will pick you up.
Duan Shutong calculated the distance between the two families, went to the bedroom to take a shower, and had just changed into new clothes when the banquet arrived.
He also brought gifts to the other three members of the Duan family.
Dong Hanyue was very enthusiastic, "Remember to have dinner at home tomorrow."
Then he stuffed Xi Duan with a red envelope.
Xi Duan: "..."
Duan Shutong: "..."
Dumbfounded, Dong Hanyue waved at them chicly, and waited for them to leave before asking someone to play with them in the girlfriends group.
Duan Shutong, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help laughing, "How long has it been since you confiscated the lucky money?"
Xi Duan: "... I don't remember."
Seeing the young man smiling happily, he also smiled.
"Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Duan Shutong shook his head, "I just want to visit the place where you grew up. I don't want to go anywhere else. I haven't had the chance to go before, and we are all free today."
"good."
The car is parked directly in Xi's garage.
The sensor light in the garage is on, and next to it is the elevator to the first floor.
Duan Shutong unbuckled his seat belt and was about to open the door to get out of the car, but found that the door was locked.
Looking back at Xi Duan, he always felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if Xi Duan had done such a thing when they first fell in love.
Duan Shutong is no longer in the shy and apprehensive mood he was in before, he let Xi Duan look at it generously, and said cheekily: "You locked the door to unlock the new..."
"Can you?" Xi Duan interrupted him with a smile on his lips and deep eyes.
Duan Shutong suddenly faltered: "This...isn't very good."
Xi Duan approached slowly, leaning on the back of Duan Shutong's chair with one hand and pinching his chin with the other, exchanging a long and deep kiss with him.
The heat inside the car rose sharply.
"I still have to see my parents tomorrow." Duan Shutong took advantage of the gap to recover.
Xi Duan smiled lowly, Su Deren felt weak all over.
He stroked Duan Shutong's soft hair, "Okay, listen to you."
Duan Shutong, who escaped from birth, just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone say, "When will you get married?"
Um? Why did you jump into marriage all of a sudden
Seeing the young man in a daze, the long eyelashes at the end of the seat drooping slightly, and the lights in the garage cast shadows on his profile, creating an innocent and pitiful atmosphere.
Duan Shutong's heart softened instantly, he tweeted and tweeted several times on his face, and asked earnestly, "Are you willing to wait for me?"
Xi Duan looked affectionately, "Of course."
"Well, we'll get married when the project I'm on hand is finished." Affected by the project, Duan Shutong really couldn't fully focus on the wedding.
He wants to have a wedding with Xi Duan wholeheartedly and without suspense.
Without hesitation, Xi Duan said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
He didn't know how long Duan Shutong's project would last, maybe one year, maybe five years, maybe ten years, or maybe even going on forever.
But with Duan Shutong's words, he is willing to wait.
At the beginning of the new year, the whole country celebrates.
Just when Huaguo was immersed in the hilarity, on the far side of the ocean, the name of a young man from Huaguo appeared in the international authoritative journal "Science".
What is even more amazing is his thesis.
Because of the barriers to communication at home and abroad, although Duan Shutong had published this paper in the domestic "Life", foreign scholars have never heard of it.
There is actually a new drug called "Fu Zang" that can effectively treat kidney failure
What's more, Mr. Ernst, a top international oncologist, actually wrote a comment in person: "This is a pioneering work. This is not only an earthquake in the field of nephrology, but also a volcanic eruption in life sciences."
Although Fuzang's original intention was to help patients with kidney failure, its appearance has indeed broken a shackle and is a milestone in deciphering life sciences.
It's just that a lot of people don't realize it yet.
As soon as the journal came out, academic circles at home and abroad remembered Duan Shutong's name one after another.
At that time, Duan Shutong was watching Papa Duan and Xi Duan fight for wine.
Dong Hanyue didn't try to persuade her, so she had to give up.
She probably also understood her husband. After all, a son who was well-behaved was abducted home by another man, and it was inevitable that he would not be open-minded.
It's just that I don't know when it will be finished.
As a result, both of them were drunk.
The drunk Xi Duan was very obedient and easy to fool, Duan Shutong led him to his room, asked him to lie down, and covered him with a quilt.
When he turned to leave, he was suddenly caught.
"Tongtong."
Duan Shutong turned to look at him.
"Tongtong." The drunken man shouted again.
Duan Shutong sat down by the bed, the warm winter sun shone through the window on the man's handsome face, those eyes full of drunkenness were full of reluctance and tenderness.
My heart suddenly settled down, like a rootless duckweed, finally completely found the most gentle and peaceful harbor.
Duan Shutong leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"I am here."
Xi Duan stared at him for a long while, as if feeling his presence by his side, he slowly closed his eyes, and moved his lips slightly before falling asleep.
The voice was very soft, but it fell on Duan Shutong's ears like thunder.
He is saying, I love you.
Xi Duan has always been restrained, and Duan Shutong has long been accustomed to his principle of "doing more with less talk".
Although these three words are light, their weight is particularly heavy.
The afternoon sun was warm enough to make people feel hot. Duan Shutong held Xi Duan's hand tightly. At this moment, it seemed that all the memories of his previous life were far away from him.
This is his real home.
His family is here, his friends are here.
His only love is by his side, within reach.
Suddenly a cell phone rings to break the silence, Duan Shutong avoids disturbing Xi Duan, and walks out of the room to answer.
"Han Ling, what's the matter?"
Suddenly there was a wailing sound from the other end of the phone, "Boss, help me, I'm going to die!"
"For Chinese New Year's Eve, don't talk nonsense." Duan Shutong heard something wrong with his voice, and asked with concern, "What happened to you?"
"Do you have a vacant house, can you borrow me for a while?" Han Ling said pitifully.
Duan Shutong couldn't just leave him alone, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, come here and get the key."
Han Ling: "I can't walk now... Can you come over..."
Duan Shutong: "..."
