"It's fine now," Xi Qin thought Jiang Zhong didn't believe him, and assured him again, "I really won't say it again."
"Then you won't think about it anymore?" Jiang Zhong looked at him.
Xi Qin: "..."
This is out of his control.
"Tell me," Jiang Zhong said persistently, "What can I do to make you feel at ease? Today is your birthday, and I will give you whatever you want."
"Really?" Xi Qin asked ambiguously.
Jiang Zhong swallowed, and said desperately, "Really, as long as I can do it."
"Then..." Xi Qin dragged his tone, "From now on, you can tell me that I like you once a day."
"..." Jiang Zhong hesitated, "That's it?"
"That's it," Xi Qin suppressed a smile, "Or do you actually want me to..."
"I didn't," Jiang Zhong immediately denied, "I didn't think about anything, I agree with what you said, and I can give you one more gift."
"Okay." Xi Qin finally finished washing the pots and bowls, dried his hands on a towel, turned around and hugged Jiang Zhong, "Baby, you are so kind, I don't care, I can't do without you, you have to treat me Responsible."
"All right, all right, I'll be responsible for you," Jiang Zhong inserted his fingers into Xi Qin's hair, "Should I bring you to meet your in-laws, little daughter-in-law?"
"You are my daughter-in-law," Xi Qin buried his face on Jiang Zhong's neck, and said in a low voice, "However, the most I can do is take you to see my father."
"Why?" Jiang Zhong didn't think about it for a while.
Xi Qin was silent for a while, lowering his voice: "Because my mother has passed away."
Jiang Zhong paused with his finger that was stroking in his hair, and he opened his mouth without saying a word.
"When I was in high school," Xi Chin added.
Jiang Zhong remembered what Peng Siyuan said in the morning that Xi Qin had taken a year off from high school, and thought that might be the reason.
"An accident?" Jiang Zhong tightly wrapped his arms around Xi Qin.
"No," Xi Qin said with difficulty, "it was suicide."
Jiang Zhong was a little shocked, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Are you scared?" Xi Qin could still pay attention to Jiang Zhong's emotions, "I didn't dare to tell you before."
"It's okay," Jiang Zhong repeated, "It's okay, it's over, Auntie must be doing well in another world."
"Well," Xi Qin said, "Actually, I thought about it later, for my mother, maybe it was a relief."
Xi Qin's mother had a car accident when Xi Qin was in junior high school, and her legs were amputated from the thigh down.
Xi's mother woke up in the ward, and found that she lost her legs and cried herself out. Although she was able to live a normal life with prosthetics later on, Mama Xi still couldn't accept it.
Whenever encountering the inconvenience caused by the prosthesis, Xi's mother would become very irritable, wishing to have the prosthesis removed.
These inconveniences accumulated more and more, and Xi's mother thought of the ruined career because of the loss of her legs. In the end, she couldn't bear it and ended her life during the summer vacation of Xi Qin's freshman year.
"So you took a year off from school?"
"Huh?" Xi Qin looked at Jiang Zhong in surprise, "How do you know I've dropped out of school?"
"Peng Siyuan told me this morning," Jiang Zhong explained, "it was about him being a junior, and then I was surprised that he called you brother even though he was in a higher grade than you. Only after he told me did I know that you had dropped out of school. It took me a year to be at the same level as me."
"Yeah," Xi Qin forced a smile, "otherwise you'd have to call me senior."
"No wonder I saw your ID card before and found that you are so much older than me," Jiang Zhong said again, "I thought it was because you went to school late."
"Is it much bigger?" Xi Qin felt rejected.
"I just turned nineteen a while ago, isn't it a lot for you to celebrate your twenty-first birthday today?" Jiang Zhong replied by himself after finishing speaking, "It doesn't seem to be a lot."
"It's not much," Xi Qin said domineeringly, "You mustn't despise me."
"Okay, okay," Jiang Zhong coaxed him, "I won't dislike you."
Perhaps because of the mention of his mother who passed away a few years ago, Xi Qin was not in a very high spirits throughout the afternoon. Although getting along with Jiang Zhong was still as calm as ever, he didn't want to tease Jiang Zhong every few words like before. once.
Jiang Zhong was a little unaccustomed to such a "normal" Xi Qin, thinking about how to make him "live".
It was all his fault for mentioning parents-in-law, which reminded Xi Qin of the sad thing.
"I've been walking around here a few times," Xi Qin pushed the shopping cart and walked beside Jiang Zhong, "Have you decided what you want to eat?"
"Hmm." Jiang Zhong just thought about something else and didn't want to eat anything at all.
"Then let's go after you have made up your mind." Xi Qin stopped and put his hands on the push rod of the shopping cart, "Your difficulty in choosing is really incurable."
Jiang Zhongxin thought that you all know that I have difficulty choosing, so let me choose? This is not torturing people.
"Just eat this," Jiang Zhong casually pointed to the side freezer, "Steak, can you make it?"
"I haven't done it," Xi Qin pushed open the freezer door, picked up an individually wrapped steak and looked at it, "I'll go back and follow the tutorial, I don't guarantee it's delicious."
"It's okay," Jiang Zhong said decisively, "I'm not picky, as long as I can eat it."
"Okay, which brand is better?"
"Whatever," Jiang Zhong didn't bother to choose again, "They are all similar, just take one."
Xi Qin nodded and took two steaks: "This is not enough to eat, if you..."
"Don't ask me," Jiang Zhong interrupted him, "You can do what you want, I will eat what you do."
Xi Qin laughed for a long time, and bought the food according to his own ideas, and then the two of them swept around the snack area, and the shopping cart was full.
"I still have to buy you a toothbrush. The previous one hasn't been used for a long time..." Xi Qin realized the key point while talking, "By the way, are you going home tonight?"
"No," Jiang Zhong said naturally, "I told my mother yesterday that my classmate celebrates his birthday today, so I won't go home tonight."
"Student?" Xi Qin glanced at Jiang Zhong.
"Otherwise?" Jiang Zhong asked, "Should I tell my mother, ah, your son's boyfriend is celebrating his birthday today, and your son will accompany him at night, so?"
"It's not impossible." Xi Qin laughed.
"Go away," Jiang Zhong rolled his eyes slightly, "In that case, you probably won't be able to see me today."
I don't know how other young couples feel when they mention "evening". Anyway, after Jiang Zhong told Xi Qin "I won't go home at night", some unhealthy thoughts came to my mind.
Although some time ago he and Xi Qin lived outside for nearly half a month and slept in the same bed every night, they are still quite innocent up to now, only a few transactions have been made.
Jiang Zhong is a little ready to move today.
His mother said that after the relationship between two people reaches a certain level, it can be further deepened through something.
The degree is hard to define, but Jiang Zhong thinks that the relationship between him and Xi Qin should be quite deep.
Moreover, today is Xi Qin's birthday, and his mood has been affected.
Or, just use it to coax Xi Qin
For the first time, Jiang Zhong's eyes drifted to the packaging box next to the cashier counter with "ultra-thin" and "vigorous" printed on it.
"What are you looking at?" Xi Qin's smiling voice rang in Jiang Zhong's ear.
"Ah?" Jiang Zhong was almost taken aback, "It's nothing, just take a box of mints."
Jiang Zhong was already guilty enough, but after being caught by Xi Qin, he didn't dare to look around and stared at the shopping cart intently.
Xi Qin smiled, and took a box of mints from the top shelf and put them on the cash register for payment.
Jiang Zhong thought that I can't be blamed for this, Xi Qin himself missed such a suitable opportunity tonight.
But Jiang Zhong is still a little regretful, and feels that he is very cowardly.
Since the supermarket has put that thing in such a conspicuous position, isn't its intention obvious
The human cashier must also be familiar with the person who bought that thing. The more hesitant and sneaky like him, the more "wretched" he looks.
Fuck, Jiang Zhong cursed in his heart, he actually had a "wretched" day, he was a "campus star" in high school.
At that time, I should have pretended to be very experienced, and directly took two boxes and threw them on the cash register.
As long as he is not embarrassed, it is others, including Xi Qin, who are embarrassed.
Ah, it's so annoying, I really want to go back to the checkout and go through the process again.
"Jiang Zhong?" Xi Qin raised his voice a little.
"Huh?" Jiang Zhong frowned and looked at him.
"What are you thinking?" Xi Qin wondered, "I've called you several times."
"Did you laugh at me before?" Jiang Zhong stared at Xi Qin.
"Ah?" Xi Qin was even more puzzled, "I didn't, when?"
Jiang Zhong said vaguely: "When checking out at the supermarket."
"Pfft," Xi Qin couldn't help laughing, "You said that, I didn't laugh at you, I just thought you wanted to see it but felt embarrassed to see it, very cute."
Jiang Zhong hummed: "You are just laughing at me, why did you just call me?"
"I really don't," Xi Qin argued again, handling the marinated meat in his hand, "Do you want the steak to be cooked or tender?"
"Be familiar with it."
"OK."
After that, Xi Qin started to prepare the steak. Jiang Chong checked something on his mobile phone. After looking at the mobile phone for a while, he looked up at Xi Qin, in case Xi Qin came to see the content on his mobile phone.
"Then you do it at home first." Jiang Zhong put away his phone after reading it. "The cake should be ready soon. I'll go down and pick it up."
"Okay." Xi Qin replied.
Jiang Zhong first went to the kitchen to exchange a brief "going out kiss" with Xi Qin, and then went to the entrance to change his shoes and put on his coat.
"Where did you put your disposable mask?" Jiang Zhonglin asked again before going out, "Give me one."
"It's in the storage box on the shoe cabinet."
Jiang Zhong took the mask from the box Xi Qin mentioned, and explained guiltily: "It's too cold outside, wear a mask to keep out the wind."
When the two returned from the supermarket, they ordered a birthday cake at the cake shop downstairs, but Jiang Zhong didn't go directly to the cake shop, but walked in the direction of a pharmacy.
Jiang Zhong continued to build himself up mentally on the way there.
He is already an adult man. It is normal to buy a condom at a pharmacy. It is for the sake of health. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. You must not make a "wretched" posture and be decisive...
Damn, it's not for him to buy it, why should he buy it? Make it as if he is looking forward to it, whoever wants to use it will buy it.
Jiang Zhong was struggling in his heart, and when he was about to turn his head to go back, the pharmacy had already arrived.
Forget it, Jiang Zhong mentioned the mask, and here they are...
"I'm back." Jiang Zhong shouted after entering the door.
"Okay," Xi Qin was busy with his hands, "you can eat it right away."
"Um."
Jiang Zhong put Xi Qin's key and cake on the cabinet, first reached out and touched the items in the pocket of his clothes to make sure they hadn't been dropped on the road, and then slowed down to take off his coat and change his shoes.
After putting the cake in the refrigerator, Jiang Zhong went to the kitchen and exchanged a short "door kiss" with Xi Qin. 33 Novel Network
The steak that Xi Qin fried for the first time was very good in appearance and taste.
But Jiang Zhong was a little absent-minded, and all his thoughts drifted to the pocket of the "criminal tool" at the entrance.
"Isn't it delicious?"
"It's delicious," Jiang Zhong took a big bite of the steak, "It's very delicious."
By the time dinner was finished, it was completely dark outside.
The closer the night was, Jiang Zhong became more nervous, and the expression on his face could not be disguised anymore.
"Honey," Xi Qin squeezed Jiang Zhong's finger that kept tapping on the cup, "what's wrong with you? You've been weird all night."
"No, no," Jiang Zhong took a sip of water, "What's wrong?"
"It's strange everywhere," Xi Qin said, "I still stuttered in this sentence."
"Do you want to eat cake now?" Jiang Zhong changed the subject very bluntly.
"This is even weirder," Xi Qin stared at Jiang Zhong, trying to find the answer from his expression, "Be honest, did you do something bad behind my back?"
"Of course not," Jiang Zhong immediately retorted, "I'm so stuffed now that I can't eat the cake, let's eat it later."
Xi Qin nodded: "OK."
"Then I'll take a shower first." Jiang Zhong stood up, "Where's the couple pajamas we bought in J City last time? I want to wear them."
Xi Qin went upstairs to take off his pajamas.
Without saying a word, Jiang Zhong took the pajamas and went directly into the bathroom and locked the door of the bathroom.
I'm a little embarrassed, how do I open my mouth about this kind of thing
Really, Xi Qin was so active before, but today he didn't say anything. Jiang Zhong didn't even have a chance to tell him what he thought.
Jiang Zhong was distressed and took a long time to take a shower. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, Xi Qin grabbed him and pressed him against the wall beside him and kissed him hard.
"I see," Xi Qin whispered, "So you were hiding from me."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhong was stunned by the kiss, a little unresponsive.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become the same as before," Xi Qin said, "Are you afraid of what I will do to you?"
Jiang Zhong: "..."
Really not.
"Obviously we were so close when we were outside," Xi Qin continued, "Why don't you want to now?"
Jiang Zhong: "...I didn't."
"Then why are you avoiding me?" Xi Qin said aggrievedly, "Little scumbag."
For the first time, Jiang Zhong felt that the title "little scumbag" was so sweet, and the familiar Xi Qin returned.
"Pfft ha ha ha" Jiang Zhong couldn't help laughing for a long time.
Xi Qin: "..."
Xi Qin was puzzled, almost softened by Jiang Zhong's smile: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, "I just feel that my boyfriend is so stupid. The key is that he still thinks he is very smart."
"Really?" Xi Qin squinted his eyes, and wiped Jiang Zhong's wet hair, "Go and dry your hair first, and I'll talk to you after I take a shower."
After Xi Qin entered the bathroom, Jiang Zhong continued to lean against the wall for two minutes, then took out mints from a bag full of snacks, poured out two and put them in his mouth.
"I didn't expect this candy to come in handy in the end." Jiang Zhong muttered.
Jiang Zhong didn't listen to Xi Qin obediently blowing his hair, but walked slowly to the entrance and took out tools from his pocket.
The pajamas had no pockets, so Jiang Zhong could only hold them in his hands. After taking a deep breath, he went back to the bathroom door, leaned aside and waited for Xi Qin to come out.
Jiang Zhong rehearsed the lines he was going to say later in his heart, overturning them every time he rehearsed, it was too...he couldn't say it.
When the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, Jiang Zhong still didn't know what to say, forget it, let's play it on the spot.
Xi Qin brushed his hair and came out, looking at Jiang Zhong suspiciously: "Why are you still here?"
Jiang Zhong held the things behind his back and swallowed: "I still have a birthday present for you."
"What is it?" Xi Qin said with a smile.
"This," Jiang Zhong handed the item in front of Xi Qin, his face was hot, "I don't know if you will like it?"
Xi Qin saw what Jiang Zhong was holding at a glance. After realizing Jiang Zhong's meaning, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "You..."
"You are wrong," Jiang Zhong said, "I am not unwilling."
