Zhuo Xiangming was very punctual, saying that he would arrive home at three o'clock at most, and at two fifty, the car that brought him back stopped at the door of his house.
Tong Yan waited for him with his ears pricked up, ran out when he heard the sound, opened the door and Zhuo Xiangming got off the car just in time, saw him rushing out, stopped his movements, put one hand on the car door, and said: "I am about to go in and call You, then go."
Tong Yan nodded and said, "Wait a minute! I'm going to get my bag."
Zhuo Xiangming said: "Okay... walk well, don't run."
Tong Yan Sahuan ran a few steps and was stopped. He obediently went to the swing on the terrace and took his backpack, hugged the tablet in his arms, and took a cup of mashed potatoes with chicken sauce that the turtle had just stuffed for him, and put it on the passenger seat.
Zhuo Xiangming drove back by himself, took off his suit jacket and put it on the passenger seat, Tong Yan hugged the clothes in his arms, the tablet almost fell off, Zhuo Xiangming helped him tidy up the pile of things in his arms, and then leaned over Help him fasten his seat belt.
Such movements were very close, Tong Yan was ignorant, but Zhuo Xiangming stopped for a while, and when Tong Yan looked at him suspiciously, he asked, "Is this not uncomfortable?"
Tong Yan sniffed the smell of pheromones in his breath, which had a strong sense of presence, but was not aggressive, as if it would really wake up the memory of a snowy morning.
"It's not uncomfortable." He leaned back, leaned his head against the back of the chair, raised his face slightly, and smiled at Zhuo Xiangming, his face was a little red, but he didn't feel much embarrassment, "Thank you brother."
Not knowing whether Tong Yan was referring to pheromone comfort or wearing a seat belt, Zhuo Xiangming stepped back, pulled the latch to check, hummed, and said, "You're welcome."
The back seat was full of gift boxes, and Tong Yan realized that it should be a door-to-door gift bought by Zhuo Xiangming. He was a little ashamed for a while, feeling that he had thought too little, and basically only knew about eating, drinking and having fun.
And he didn't know that when he smiled flatteringly at Zhuo Xiangming, he was like a puppy wagging his tail, saying he was apologetic rather than being cute.
Zhuo Xiangming couldn't help but look at him more. After taking the bag, he wanted to put it in the back seat for him. He thought it was just a mobile phone wallet, but it felt heavier than expected when he got it, so he asked casually: "How many things do you bring with you?" ?”
Tong Yan swallowed the mashed potatoes before speaking: "Not much, they are all needed, such as toothbrushes and towels. My father and brother are not at home recently, so no one thinks to mend things in my room."
Zhuo Xiangming paused, and after a while, he let out a low "um"—the car just started, and was covered by the sound of ignition, Tong Yan wasn't sure if he really heard it.
Xuan Gui came out to see it off, and Tong Yan was busy saying goodbye to it again, and Zhuo Xiangming reversed the car and left the courtyard after the two of them had finished sticking together.
In the section just left, Tong Yan lowered his head and picked at his mashed potatoes. He ate very seriously and cleanly, not messing up the cup and spoon everywhere. Halfway through the meal, he suddenly froze for a moment and asked Zhuo Xiangming: " Brother, can you eat in the car?"
Zhuo Xiangming said: "Yes."
Tong Yan heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, his eyes were squinted: "I was scared to death, Tong Yang refused to let me in the car, I just forgot to talk to Dudu."
But even though Zhuo Xiangming said he could eat it, he still covered the mashed potatoes, held it in one hand, and looked at the shops passing by along the street.
After moving here, apart from frequenting the 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the community, Tong Yan hasn't come out yet, so it's quite fresh to see.
The weather was fine that day, Tong Yan felt that he was also in a good mood, and he didn't feel too awkward staying with Zhuo Xiangming, maybe it was because he was going home soon, or it might be because Zhuo Xiangming smiled at him twice Once, let him relax a lot.
The child was sitting obediently. While Zhuo Xiangming was paying attention to the road conditions, he followed Tong Yan's movements out of the corner of his eye. He looked out the window, opened Sudoku and played for a while, then casually shook the mashed potatoes in his hand up and down.
After a while, Tong Yan finally calmed down. He continued to watch the cartoon with Xuan Gui on the tablet. After waiting for the red light, Zhuo Xiangming glanced at his screen, and Tong Yan immediately introduced to him: "This is called Sailor Moon."
Zhuo Xiangming followed his words and said, "What are you talking about?"
Tong Yan thought for a while, and said, "A disguise game."
It just so happens that Moon Hare starts to transform on the screen.
"... Oh." Zhuo Xiangming said, "You like this?"
Tong Yan took off the earphones and quickly denied: "No! Dudu begged me to watch with it."
Zhuo Xiangming said: "Then it's not here now, so you don't have to look at it."
Tong Yan looked at him secretly, trying to figure out the expression on Zhuo Xiangming's face, studied it for a while, and thought that Zhuo Xiangming had nothing to say, and then said: "It's all right, I've opened it, and I'll just read it."
When the next red light came, Zhuo Xiangming said, "You like to watch it too?"
"what?"
"Sailor Moon." Zhuo Xiangming thought for a while before saying the name. He looked at Tong Yan with a serious expression, "You kept laughing while watching."
"Okay." Tong Yan had no choice but to admit, "It's pretty pretty."
He stared at Zhuo Xiangming vigilantly: "Do you think I'm naive?"
Zhuo Xiangming asked back: "Why do you say that?"
Tong Yan said: "Originally I wanted to watch The Avengers, that is, many superheroes fight against evil forces and save the world... That one is cooler... This one, this one is not so cool."
Zhuo Xiangming smiled, it was the kind of smile of "it's really a child", but it was the first time that Tong Yan didn't feel disgusted with such a smile, probably because no matter what Zhuo Xiangming said, he only meant it literally.
If another person says "It's really a child", then what he may mean is "Children are so immature" or "Children are not good, in all respects".
But Zhuo Xiangming was just saying "Tong Yan is really still a child".
Of course Tong Yan knew that he was still a child, so he didn't dislike Zhuo Xiangming's smile.
"You are already very cool." Zhuo Xiangming said.
After being affirmed by Zhuo Xiangming, who is very powerful in all aspects, Tong Yan suddenly felt a little shy, blinked, and said, "Really?"
Zhuo Xiangming turned the steering wheel onto the fast lane and said, "Really."
Tong Yan believed everything he said, and then Tong Yan continued to watch Sailor Moon with confidence.
Humans in the past were so interesting, how could they draw such interesting animations? Tong Yan thought, at least from the perspective of the plot, it was much more interesting than the current fully simulated animations.

The two families do not live close to each other. If Tong Yan took the subway to go home, it would take about 40 minutes, but Zhuo Xiangming drove away, passing through two urban areas. There are more cars on Friday afternoon, so the road will be congested for a while. Son, Tong Yan still fell asleep for a while, and it was almost five o'clock when we got there.
As soon as the car stopped, Tong Yang came out and waited to meet him at the door.
Tong Yan hadn't thought about anything on the way, but when he came to the door of the house, he felt a little shy. Regardless of whether it is true or not, this is the first time he has returned home after getting married, and he is accompanied by his married partner.
Fortunately, Tong Yang didn't tease Zhuo Xiangming like he did on oukm in front of Zhuo Xiangming. He only said hello to Zhuo Xiangming, then put his hand on his shoulder silently, pulled him to look at him, and asked him Haven't had lunch yet, Tong Yan said he had, he hummed, gave Zhuo Xiangming a hand, and went to the back seat to get something.
Tong Yan tried to help, but was stopped by the two of them together, and he didn't want to watch, so he just jumped up the steps and entered the door in three steps at a time.
Tong Yang studied at Zhuo Xiangming's Ph.D. school as an undergraduate, but he is two grades below Zhuo Xiangming. He has known each other before, and has dealt with them more since he went to work, but he never expected that there would be such a relationship one day.

"Of course, before you only worshiped him as an unattainable idol. You never thought that one day he would call you uncle instead. Of course you are proud."
Tong Yan was lying on the bed with his feet up, still looking at Sailor Moon. He had already watched eleven episodes today, and he decided to watch another episode before going to bed.
Tong Yang originally came to say good night, the two brothers started the battle with one sentence, Tong Yan was mean-spirited and knew how to poke Tong Yang's anger best.
But seeing Tong Yang walking over with a bad expression, it is obvious that there will be no good results. Tong Yan was begging for mercy, but Tong Yang stopped: "What does it smell like on you?"
Tong Yan wrinkled his nose and sniffed: "What smell?"
Tong Yang's expression was strange: "...the smell of alpha." He reached out and grabbed the undried strand of hair on Tong Yan's forehead, "Didn't you take a bath? Why are you still rushing?"
Tong Yan said: "How do I know..."
His face gradually turned red, and Tong Yang immediately approached cheaply: "Huh?"
"Get out!" Tong Yan pushed Tong Yang's face away with one hand, and stretched out his foot to kick him, but Tong Yang easily restrained him. Seeing that his armpit was about to be scratched again, he had to show weakness, "I have to go to school on Monday, he gave it to me. I have a temporary marker."
Tong Yang: "Kissed?"
Tong Yan: "???"
Tong Yan's face turned red, and he struggled to get up. Tong Yang didn't really want to hold him down, so he let him run away.
—
Tong Yang left, stopped watching cartoons, and Tong Yan couldn't sleep anymore.
Zhuo Xiangming didn't kiss him, but that level of shame easily broke Tong Yan's limit—
After eating, he sent Zhuo Xiangming out. He thought that he would be able to return while waiting for the bus to leave, but he didn't expect Zhuo Xiangming to mention today's desensitization.
I won't see you for the next two days, so I need to hold you for a little longer. There was limited space in the car, and he sat on Zhuo Xiangming's lap, hugged firmly for the first time through thin short sleeves and shirt.
In the narrow compartment, Alpha's pheromones, body temperature, heartbeat and pulse were all abnormally clear, and when Zhuo Xiangming let him get out of the car, Tong Yan's legs were a little limp.
Fortunately, Zhuo Xiangming didn't laugh at him.
Tong Yan thought, as an older brother, Zhuo Xiangming was a hundred times better than Tong Yang, and he would never laugh at him.
