On the day of the verdict, Ji Ran went to the cemetery.
He bought a bunch of flowers, and this was the only time he went to see Zhao Qingtong when it was not the anniversary of his death or Qingming.
"Just take a look." He looked at the man in the driver's seat. "Why are you dressed so formally..."
Qin Man was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his whole body was covered in haute couture that had just been delivered.
"Meet the parents, can it be formal?" He smiled.
"See you ass." Ji Ran also smiled, "It's obviously you who want to follow."
"I've already called you husband. You still don't want to show me to my parents. Isn't it a bit too much?" Qin Man tutted.
Ji Ran said: "There are thousands of people calling me my wife on Weibo. Can she come over?"
Just at the red light, Qin Man unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to bite his mouth.
"My little brother is a scumbag," he said. "When you fall asleep, I stole your Weibo."
Ji Ran bit him back: "Teach me to drive well, what are you doing now? It's better to let the traffic police take pictures and deduct you three and six points."
When they arrived at the cemetery, they saw the administrator standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking in with a serious face.
Ji Ran glanced at him with his eyes, and his body suddenly froze.
I saw that Zhao Qingtong's tomb was crowded with people, and it was impenetrable, and it was impossible to see anything from his angle.
Ji Ran's first reaction was that the media were harassing people again.
He also ignored the administrator's greeting, quickened his pace, and walked up with a cold face.
When he got closer, he realized that the group of people did not have a camera or a voice recorder on their hands.
Qin Man followed closely, frowned and walked in front of Ji Ran, and stopped someone casually: "Excuse me, what are you doing?"
The person who was stopped had red eyes and said, "Who are you?"
"Those who came to worship." Qin Man said, "You have affected me."
"Ah, I'm sorry." The woman was a little older, she said, "We are here to worship Qingtong."
Ji Ran asked in a low voice behind Qin Man, "Who are you? Why do you want to worship her?"
"... We used to be from Zhao Qingtong's support group." The middle-aged woman sniffed, "Today her case is closed, we came to see her specially..."
"Why didn't you come before?" Ji Ran asked.
The woman was taken aback by the question. She didn't know how the other party knew that they had never been there before, but she subconsciously said, "Because there were many rumors about her before, we couldn't confirm whether it was true..."
"Got it." Qin Man interrupted their conversation.
Then again, it is estimated to be exposed.
"Excuse me, you continue."
Ji Ran turned to the side and saw that Zhao Qingtong's tombstone was full of flowers at this time, which complemented the photos on the tombstone. A few others were helping her pick up nearby leaves and dust.
In this case, Ji Ran must be inconvenient to come forward.
He walked down the steps in silence, and when he was almost at the end, he whispered, "It's been so long, what else is there to see."
The words were unpleasant, but Qin Man saw his slightly reddened eyes when he turned to the side.
It was just the distance from the cemetery to the parking lot, so Ji Ran calmed down his emotions. He lowered his eyes and said casually, "It seems that you won't be able to see your parents today."
"It's only today, a lifetime is so long, one day I'll see you." Qin Man said.
Ji Ran's expression finally loosened: "Who is with you for the rest of your life?"
"You." Qin Man smiled, "You will be with me forever."
The car ran back and forth, but nothing was accomplished, but Ji Ran felt no regrets.
At the door of the house, Ji Ran threw the flower to the back seat and said, "Okay, you can go back, I will drive back to the garage by myself."
Qin Man didn't move, he asked with a chuckle, "Little brother, when will you let me go back? I always make excuses to knock on the neighbor's door every night, and it's not a problem... You know how other neighbors have looked at me recently. How weird?"
"You still know how to be embarrassed." Ji Ran sneered, "Then why didn't I see you come a few times less?"
Qin Man thought for a while: "Junior is too tempting."
"… abnormal."
Qin Man was finally kicked out of the car, and the application for sharing a spring night was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.
In fact, Qin Man hadn't been to Ji Ran's house for several days. The elementary school younger brother was very difficult to talk during this time. They had sex a few times recently, and they were still in Qin Man's place.
Although it's interesting to play pseudo-office play occasionally, he still prefers to be in Ji Ran's house, completely occupying him in a space full of his taste.
There were so many times that Qin Man even wanted to jump over the wall and enter.
Just after an overseas video conference, Qin Man pulled his tie slightly and gave Ji Ranbang a video call.
It took half a day for the other party to pick up.
"What?" The tone wasn't very good.
Ji Ran's face took up the entire screen, and Qin Man couldn't see the surrounding environment.
"I miss you." Qin Man said, "Little brother, open the door. I'll stay for two hours."
"No, I'm going to sleep." Ji Ran said firmly.
"...One hour, no less." Qin Man frowned.
Ji Ran asked, "Can you do it in an hour?"
Qin Man smiled and said, "You know, one hour is not enough for me."
Ji Ran was stunned for a while, then he reacted after a while, and said viciously with a blushing face: "Sleep!"
Then hung up.
Qin Man held the phone and looked at it for a long time, before slowly turning it back on the desk.
The next day, the two went out together to go to the bureau of Yue Wenwen's team.
Yue Wenwen doesn't know what kind of magic he has in the past few days, so he has to go back to full height. First, he said that Mangao had changed a cafeteria, and then he said that the basketball court had been renovated, and it was not easy to coax Ji Ran to nod his head.
After that incident, Man Gao has changed a group of leaders, and Ji Ran is not too repulsive here.
"Ah!" Yue Wenwen held the phone, "That person is indeed there!!"
Ji Ran looked at the man who was playing basketball not far away and said, "Don't you fucking urge us to come back every day because of him?"
"Of course not!" Yue Wenwen deserves to be insincere at all, "I just want to bring you back to your childhood memories, Pengpeng, how many years have you and Xiao Ranran not played on this court?"
Cheng Peng cooperated: "It's been many years."
Cheng Peng knew what Yue Wenwen was thinking. He held the ball and said to the people on the court, "Teacher, shall we make up the number?"
There were only three people in the stadium at this time, and it was really boring. The new physical education teacher nodded to them: "Okay. You are also high school seniors? Which class? Why didn't you go to class?"
Today's holiday, most of the school's students are on vacation, except for the seniors.
In order to make it easier for them to sneak into the school, they all wore school uniforms.
Yue Wenwen immediately took the opportunity to chat with him: "We are in the second year of high school, and today we are here to relax and relax."
They chatted hotly, until Ji Ran became impatient: "Will we fight?"
A small basketball game begins.
Three-on-three, physical education teachers felt that they were bullying by playing against a group of students, so they decided to guess the boxing, order the captain and divide the players.
Ji Ran and Qin Man were assigned to two different teams.
They've played together a handful of times, especially with opposing camps -- only once in a basketball game.
Ji Ran thought, this time, he must press Qin Man to the ground and rub it so that he is willing to call him Dad.
The physical education teachers originally thought about releasing water for the students.
After Qin Man made the third three-pointer, the two teachers in the group with Ji Ran were aroused to fight.
Basketball is a physically demanding sport, and the taller and stronger you are, the more advantage you have. Seeing that the score was gradually falling behind, the teachers finally stopped showing mercy, and began to use their bodies to collide with Qin Man frequently when the rules allowed.
Although Qin Man's figure is good, he is still a little worse than the physical education teachers who exercise every day. Visually, it gives people the illusion that they are not too bumpy.
After witnessing it a few times, Ji Ran frowned and panted, "I'll guard him..."
Before the words were finished, the teacher had already stood in front of Qin Man.
Qin Man looked at the position left and right, and quickly wanted to dash to the right. Just as he was about to score a layup, he was slammed by a strong man beside him—
Ji Ran didn't care how much he was breathing now, so he rushed over from his position and hugged Qin Man before he landed.
But he didn't stand firm, and Qin Man was not too light, so he couldn't catch it at all, and the two fell to the ground together.
Qin Man was startled, and quickly adjusted his posture, making Ji Ran a meat pad.
Their sweat soaked their school uniforms, sticking tightly to their skin, and their breaths smelled of sweat and hormones.
Qin Man was in pain, rubbed his hair, and asked with a smile, "I'm diving, what are you doing?"
"..." Ji Ran said, "I bumped into you, can't you understand?"
"Understood." Qin Man laughed, "You can hit it casually."
"Sorry, I didn't control my strength." The physical education teacher rushed over, "Are you injured? I'll take you to the hospital."
"It's okay." Ji Ran stood up, "We won't fight anymore."
"I'm really sorry. If you are injured, you can contact me at any time." The physical education teacher reported his phone number.
Yue Wenwen wrote it down on his mobile phone very seriously: "Good teacher."
"Your clothes are all dirty, and the flag will be raised tomorrow." The physical education teacher thought for a while, "Well, I'll take you to the public bathhouse opposite, please take a bath, and by the way, ask my aunt to wash your clothes, and I'll go out. Laundry money."
Yue Wenwen said: "No need..."
"Okay." Qin Man took over with a smile, "Could you please show me a way? My clothes are soaked and dirty. It's really uncomfortable."
Ji Ran didn't expect that he would come to this public bath in his life.
He has no interest in bathing with a large group of men, so he has never taken a bath in a public bathhouse. The last time he stepped here, he was to steal Qin Man's clothes.
At this point in time, there was no one in the public bathhouse at all.
Ji Ran was still very resistant at first, but when he went in, he found that the bathhouse has evolved over the years. There is a wall between the two shower heads, and there is a wooden door outside.
Cheng Peng naturally won't wash here, and has already gone back to deal with official business. Yue Wenwen ran errands to help them get their clothes from the car, and chatted with the physical education teacher by the way.
In a huge bathroom, only the two of them were there.
The water has not yet started to heat, and the cold water hits the body, stimulating and refreshing.
Ji Ran was studying how to squeeze the shower gel box in front of him, when he heard a sentence: "Little brother, help me rub your back?"
Ji Ran sneered: "Are you inlaid with gold or diamonds on your back?"
Two minutes later, Ji Ran took the towel and rubbed Qin Man's back one by one.
In fact, nothing to rub, very clean.
The water on Ji Ran's side was not turned off, and the sound of water was rushing. The two of them had just touched the water, and their skin was cold and slippery, and they seemed to be on fire when they touched it.
"Little brother." Qin Man called him.
"What?"
"Didn't you say that the first time you watched me take a bath, did it get hard?"
"..." Damn, he knew Qin Man was going to mention this, "Shut up."
"Then are you hard now?"
"… "
"Huh?" Qin Man stared at the wall tiles and smiled, "Say it."
He originally wanted to tease Ji Ran.
Who would have thought that the person behind him was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "... a little."
Now it was Qin Man's turn to be silent.
Ji Ran regretted it as soon as he said it, and then said, "I can't fucking say it anymore."
Qin Man suddenly stood up, turned around, and grabbed the towel in his hand: "Stop rubbing it."
Ji Ran was startled: "Huh?"
"Come do it."
Ji Ran's eyes widened: "Fuck, don't do it, are you crazy?? Look where this is..."
"It's 3:30 in the afternoon, who would come to take a shower at this time?" Qin Man bewitched in his ear, "And there are curtains, so you can't see anything when you close them."
Ji Ran was stunned.
No wonder Qin Man would suddenly agree to come to the bathroom.
"Did you know that there are curtains and wooden doors here??"
"I don't know, I really don't know."
"… "
The two were naked and had many in-depth exchanges. Now as long as a look, a little touch, can become the last cluster of fire that burns out reason.
Ji Ran turned around and put his hand on the switch of the wooden door.
Qin Man thought he was going out: "Wait a minute, dry your body..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Ran raised his hand and pulled the little curtain back.
The bathing space itself is small, such a cover completely separates the two worlds.
Qin Man didn't speak any more, as long as Ji Ran looked at him, he would be able to give everything without any scruples.
The two greeted each other and received a long kiss.
The water gradually warmed up, and now it's winter, the outside is chilly, and the inside of the curtain is hot.
In the bathhouse, there are things that can be collected locally.
When everything was done, Qin Man leaned on his shoulder, suddenly thought of something, and paused: "...the cover is still in the school pants."
Listen, is this what the fuck people say
Ji Ran slammed back and gritted his teeth: "That's it, hurry up."
Qin Man has never been a gentleman, let alone in this regard.
He licked the back of the neck of the person below him: "...I'll clean it up for you in a while."
Ji Ran was refreshed.
A wonderful sense of dream fulfillment was mixed with happiness, and it was almost wiped out.
Ji Ran was startled when they heard footsteps suddenly.
"It's okay, you are holding me." Qin Man hoarsely, reached out, and pressed Ji Ran's head down slightly, "I'm sorry for you, go down a little... or the curtain will have a shadow."
Ji Ran felt Qin Man's five fingers dig into his hair, kneading gently and comfortably.
It's the uncle who is the gatekeeper.
"Your time is up!" the uncle said, "If you don't come out again, you have to turn off the water... Where's the other person?"
"Understood, he went to the toilet next door." Qin Man said solemnly, "Let's add an hour."
Ji Ran's scalp was numb when he came out of the bathroom.
Fortunately, Yue Wenwen was tired of waiting, so he put down his clothes and left, to let him know that he and Qin Man spent more than an hour in the bathroom...
I'd probably die of envy.
"Are your legs sore?" Qin Man asked when he returned to the car.
Ji Ran sat in the co-pilot: "You try lifting your legs for two hours?"
"It's my fault." Qin Man said thoughtfully, "Next time you just lie down and don't have to lift your legs, I'll do it all."
"To shut up."
Qin Mandian was driving the car music. Today's holiday, it's almost dinner time, there are many cars on the street, and the vehicles are so crowded that they can't move.
Ji Ran was silent for a while, and then said: "Have dinner together."
"Okay." Qin Man asked, "Go out to eat, or come to my house?"
"at my house."
Qin Man grabbed his hand and turned to look at him.
Ji Ran: "... why are you looking at me?"
"Want to let me in?" Qin Man smiled.
"Don't be weird, go or not?"
"Go." Qin Man said, "You hook your fingers, I'll go anywhere."
Today, it was Qin Man's car. When he arrived at the door, Qin Man said, "I'll come when I park..."
"Stop my garage." Ji Ran interrupted him.
Qin Man looked sideways again, his eyes more surprised than before.
"I entered your license plate into the system." Ji Ran looked out the window and pretended to be calm and said, "...I also asked someone to decorate it."
"Renovation?" Qin Man's heart trembled uncontrollably, "I didn't hear the decoration."
"It didn't take so much effort to start work at the time you went to the company. Don't you arrest employees every day for meetings at home?" Ji Ran pouted, "I didn't do anything... I just built a study and cloakroom, I also made an extra toothbrush holder… or something.”
Qin Man was stunned, and was speechless for a while.
So he was not allowed to enter the house a few days ago, just because it was being renovated
His emotions were surging, and he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth: "Baby, are you... proposing to me?"
Ji Ran was shocked: "Where did I propose to you?!"
"I would."
"...so I said I wasn't proposing."
"Then I propose to you, you marry me." Qin Man smiled, "I won't let you marry someone else in this life anyway, let alone marrying someone else."
Ji Ran looked sideways: "Then what?"
"Um?"
"Is your proposal like this?" Ji Ran sneered, "Take a bath in the public bath, and just say a few words in the car when you come back, just want me to marry you?"
Qin Man's smile faded and he stared at him for a few seconds: "You are waiting for me here."
Ji Ran was stunned: "What?"
Qin Man didn't respond, he opened the door and hurried home, leaving Ji Ran alone in the car.
Before Ji Ran came back to his senses, Qin Man came back in less than a minute.
Seeing him get into the car in a hurry, Ji Ran laughed: "what are you doing..."
The rest was swallowed when he saw Qin Man take out the ring box.
"On Chen An's birthday, the ring for you was bought temporarily." Qin Mandao, "Because I was worried that you would be suspicious, it was not expensive."
"… "
Qin Man opened the ring box. It was a simple and elegant silver ring with two simple lines on the side and diamonds in the middle.
Qin Mandao: "I found someone to order one, with your initials in it."
"My initials?" Ji Ran was dumbfounded.
Shouldn't this be written by the other party
Seeing what he was thinking, Qin Man smiled: "Write mine, I'm afraid you don't want to wear it."
Ji Ran was speechless again.
Qin Man paused: "If you are not satisfied, then I will go back and think about it, and ask you next time."
"I've accepted this ring." Ji Ran picked the ring out of the box and put it on his hand directly, "But this can't be considered an engagement ring, and I didn't agree to your proposal."
"You do it all over again," he continued, "…with your name on it."
Qin Man found that since he was with Ji Ran, his joys and sorrows were almost tied to this person.
This taste is wonderful.
He indulged in it and enjoyed it immensely.
That night, the two did not restrain themselves and did it once on Ji Ran's bed for a long time.
The amount of exercise today was too much. After finishing it, Ji Ran lay naked on the bed and let himself go.
He finally couldn't help it, turned his head and asked the man next to him who had been pinching his finger and looking at him: "Have you seen enough?"
"No." Qin Man was righteous.
Ji Ran was too tired to speak, yawned, and leaned on his shoulder.
Qin Man kissed his forehead: "Little brother, don't sleep... You ask my husband to listen."
Ji Ran said, "husband."
"… "
"… "
The two were silent for a while, and Qin Man suddenly woke up and sat up straight: "Wait a minute... What was your name just now?"
Ji Ran looked at him funny: "Didn't you tell me to call?"
Qin Man just talked, never thought that he would really like to call.
"I didn't hear clearly." Qin Man lowered his head and rubbed his nose, "Call again."
Ji Ran asked: "...What kind of quirk do you have?"
Qin Man looked at him eagerly.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, Ji Ran was helpless, lowered his voice, and called out very simply: "Husband."
"My husband is here." Qin Man deserved it quickly.
He was so itchy that he could only rub his lips repeatedly.
Ji Ran smiled: "You are like a fool."
"I love you." Qin Man said.
Ji Ran was stunned, his smile remained on his face, and he turned to look at the people around him in surprise.
They were so close that Ji Ran could even feel his pulse and heartbeat.
"I love you." Qin Man repeated with a smile.
Ji Ran was dumbfounded. The Adam's apple rolled back and forth for a long time, and finally found the voice: "Me too."
"I love you...for many years."
From the first sight, it was overwhelmed and unable to be rescued.
The sun that he looked up to when he was young has now become a light that belongs only to him.
