It was a full fifth day before Jiang Zhong and Xi Qin came to "meet next time".
These days, Jiang Zhong spent half of his time visiting relatives and friends' homes with Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, or other people came to his house.
Zheng Yinqiu and Jiang Chengye are busy with work on weekdays, and usually only have time to connect with acquaintances during national holidays.
As Jiang Zhong's only child, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother will ask him to accompany him all the time, which not only shows family harmony, but also more or less paves the way for Jiang Zhong's future career.
On the seventh day of the new year, Zheng Yinqiu and Jiang Chengye had to devote themselves to the new year's work plan again.
Jiang Zhong woke up after nine o'clock in the morning as usual, and touched his phone to send a message to Xi Qin before his head was completely clear.
Jiang Zhong: Good morning, boyfriend
Xi Qin: Good morning
Xi Qin is always like this, obviously every day he wakes up before Jiang Zhong, but every time Jiang Zhong must send him a message first.
At first, Jiang Zhong thought that Xi Qin was like him, and he liked to sleep late during the holidays. After a long time, he realized that Xi Qin replied to him very quickly. It would not be possible for Xi Qin to wake up at the same time as him every day.
So Jiang Zhong asked this question one morning, and only then did he know that Xi Qin was afraid of waking him up by sending a message before he woke up.
Jiang Zhong: Are you here
Xi Qin: I’m in the car, I’ll be there in about half an hour
Last night, Jiang Zhong told Xi Qin that he was free today. He originally wanted to go to Xi Qin to find him, but he didn't expect that Xi Qin happened to be here today because he had something to do, so Xi Qin came to look for him.
Jiang Zhong had just finished washing and came out of the bathroom when he heard the doorbell downstairs being rung.
"So fast?" Jiang Zhong muttered, only ten minutes had passed.
Jiang Zhong immediately went downstairs, without even thinking about glancing at the picture from the monitor at the door.
When he opened the door without hesitation, he realized that Xi Qin was not standing at the door.
"Aunt Wang?"
"Xiao Jiang woke up?" Aunt Wang was about to take a spare key from her bag to open the door, "Mrs. Jiang said they went to work today and asked me to come and clean it. I thought you weren't up yet."
"Ah, wake up," Jiang Zhong stepped aside, "Come in, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang is the cleaning aunt hired by his family for the past few months. Usually, she comes to clean once every ten days. The last time she came was years ago.
"Take a rest first, Aunt Wang."
"It's okay." Aunt Wang skillfully took out tools from the utility room, "By the way, Xiao Jiang, have you had breakfast, do you want me to make it for you?"
"No need," Jiang Zhong quickly waved his hand, "My friend will come over later, and he brought it for me."
"That's fine," Aunt Wang said with a cheerful smile, "You guys play, I won't bother you."
When the doorbell rang again, Jiang Zhong hurriedly stopped Aunt Wang who was about to open the door: "I'll open it, I'll open it."
With a bag on his back and breakfast in his hand, Xi Qin waited outside the gate with a smile on his face.
Although Jiang Zhong and Xi Qin often meet each other, Jiang Zhong will be happy from the bottom of his heart every time he separates and sees each other again.
Today was no exception, Jiang Zhong rolled his almond eyes with a smile when he saw Xi Qin for the first time.
Obviously, Xi Qin was in the same mood as him, because as soon as he entered the door, Xi Qin handed Jiang Zhong breakfast, and after changing his shoes, he hugged him without warning.
"Baby," Xi Qin lowered his head and rubbed Jiang Zhong's shoulders back and forth, "Is there no surveillance at your house?"
"No at home," Jiang Zhong grabbed the fabric of Xi Qin's waist with one hand, and raised the hand holding the breakfast, "but..."
"It's fine if you don't have one." Xi Qin turned his head and kissed Jiang Zhong's side face heavily, and a loud "boo" sound could be heard when his lips parted.
"... There is someone at home." Jiang Zhong insisted on finishing his sentence.
Xi Qin: "..."
Jiang Zhong didn't expect Xi Qin to speak so quickly, and he began to pray in his heart that Aunt Wang, who was cleaning the cabinet just now, had gone elsewhere.
However, the reality was not as he wished. They took two steps inside, and saw Aunt Wang holding a rag and an ornament in front of the display cabinet at the corner, motionless, seemingly stunned.
"..."
"..."
The three looked at each other for a long time.
"That," Jiang Zhong bit the bullet to break the silence, "Aunt Wang, this is my boyfriend."
Aunt Wang's complexion showed no signs of improving.
"Boyfriend?" Aunt Wang said with difficulty, as if she couldn't understand how a boy could have a boyfriend.
"Yes," Jiang Zhong suddenly put on a panicked expression, "Aunt Wang, can you keep it a secret for me and don't tell my parents about it?"
"This..." Aunt Wang hesitated a little.
"My parents will beat me if they find out." Jiang Zhong said pitifully.
"I won't talk nonsense," Aunt Wang said quickly, "but Xiao Jiang, I think you should take the initiative to tell your parents. I don't think Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are like people who can do it."
"Okay," Jiang nodded emphatically, "I'll tell them tonight."
Then he took Xi Qin upstairs and went back to the room, leaving Aunt Wang alone to think for a long time, and finally shook her head and continued to work.
"You have so many plays." Xi Qin commented.
Jiang Zhong sat on the small sofa and had breakfast: "Who told you to be like that as soon as you entered the door, I didn't have time to finish my sentence."
"I don't know," Xi Qin muttered, "You just told me you were home alone half an hour ago."
"I was at home alone half an hour ago." Jiang Zhong tilted his head and said.
"Then you didn't tell me in advance when someone came."
"Then you didn't tell me in advance that you wanted to kiss me."
"Okay," Xi Qin nodded, "Get ready, I'm going to kiss you."
"Huh? Hmm..."
The breakfast bag in Jiang Zhong's hand was taken away by Xi Qin, and he was pressed on the back of the sofa by Xi Qin, and his lips were kissed by Xi Qin for several minutes.
Jiang Zhong panted and pushed Xi Qin away a little: "Give me back my breakfast, I'm not full yet."
"Tch," Xi Qin suppressed his voice and laughed a few times, and finally sucked at the corner of Jiang Zhong's mouth, "Did you forget what I said?"
"What?"
Xi Qin slowly moved his lips to Jiang Zhong's ear, and whispered, "I love you."
Jiang Zhong felt as if his ears were scalded, and he seemed to lose his hearing for a moment. The world suddenly became extremely silent, and only Xi Qin's hoarse voice echoed in his mind.
Jiang Zhong even forgot to respond to Xi Qin.
Xi Qin didn't mind, Jiang Zhong's flushed face and ears exposed his inner thoughts in another way.
"Come back to your senses," Xi Qin stuffed the breakfast into Jiang Zhong's hands again, "I'll give it back to you, eat quickly."
Jiang Zhong took a bite in a daze, but didn't taste anything.
"Accompany me to a place after eating." Xi Qin said with a smile.
"Ah?" Jiang Zhong nodded foolishly, "Okay."
It's annoying.
Why is he reacting this way? It's so embarrassing.
Jiang Zhong chewed his mouth tastelessly. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he say "I love you too" to Xi Qin
"Cough." Jiang Chong cleared his throat.
"Huh?" Xi Qin turned his head sensitively.
"I..." Jiang Zhong was very embarrassed, he had never said such a thing before, "It's a bit dry."
"Here." Xi Qin handed him the soy milk.
Jiang Zhong lowered his head and drank the soy milk in the cup in one breath, forget it, it's past that point, let's talk about it next time.
"Where do you want me to accompany you?" Jiang Zhong asked belatedly.
"Take you to New Year's greetings."
"Are you reciprocating courtesy?"
"Not to my house," Xi Qin understood Jiang Zhong's meaning, "to Peng Siyuan's house."
"Then it's not appropriate to take me there?" Jiang Zhong wondered, "And isn't it too late to go to the New Year's greetings today?"
"It's not too late, Aunt Shen only has time today," Xi Qin glanced at him, "She was the one who asked me to take you there."
Aunt Shen is Peng Siyuan's mother and a good friend of Xi Qin's mother during her lifetime. The two families traveled frequently when Xi Qin's mother was alive. After Xi Qin's mother passed away, Aunt Shen took care of Xi Qin a lot.
"She knows me and you..."
"Well," Xi Qin nodded, "Peng Siyuan told her a long time ago, and I mentioned you when I called her for New Year's greetings before, so she asked me to take you to play."
"Oh," Jiang Zhong thought that he and Xi Qin were lucky, none of the elders they met said they were wrong, "Okay."
Xi Qin took Jiang Zhong to Peng Siyuan's house familiarly, and it was Peng Siyuan who opened the door.
"Yo," Peng Siyuan said with a smile, "here we come."
"Yeah." Xi Qin nodded.
"Hi." Jiang Zhong greeted generously.
"Hi," Peng Siyuan gestured back to him, "My mom is upstairs, I'll call her."
Xi Qin was a regular visitor, so Peng Siyuan didn't deliberately entertain them, so he turned around and went upstairs to call Aunt Shen.
Xi Qin led Jiang Zhong inside, and there was a hollowed-out display stand behind the entrance, on which were placed many handicrafts and trophies.
"Wow," Jiang Zhong whispered, "It feels like their house has an artistic atmosphere."
"Well," Xi Qin said with a smile, "the whole family is engaged in art."
"So powerful." Jiang Zhong said.
"Yes," Xi Qin introduced to him, "Uncle Peng is engaged in literary creation, Aunt Shen is a dancer, and Peng Siyuan is studying sculpture."
"Wow" Jiang Zhong exclaimed again, he knew Peng Siyuan's major.
"Wow what?" Xi Qin laughed, "You are also very good, didn't you also learn to dance?"
"I just learned a little," Jiang Zhong said modestly, "It can only be regarded as a hobby, and it can't be compared with a dancer."
"I think you dance very well," Xi Qin said, "That's why I noticed you when I was in high school."
"Really?" Jiang Zhong didn't expect to hear Xi Qin mention the past here, and he has to thank Zheng Yinqiu for letting him persevere when he wanted to give up halfway when he was a child.
etc.
Jiang Zhong suddenly remembered something.
He remembered that Peng Siyuan told him before that Peng Siyuan's mother and Xi Qin's mother used to be "colleagues". That means Xi Qin's mother also learned dance
Jiang Zhong turned his head and glanced at Xi Qin. Xi Qin said that his mother had a car accident when he was in junior high school, which resulted in the amputation of both legs and ended his own life.
So, Mama Xi Chin's career ruined by losing her legs is...
