After going around and around, it is the busiest node of the year at the end of the year. In the past, Yu Fan didn't know how many scenes he would go to every day at this time, but these few days this year, he has become the most leisurely person.
He specially brought his camera this trip, thinking that when Chen Jingshen was at work, he could wander around Nancheng casually and take some pictures. Unexpectedly, the seven-day vacation is coming to an end, and he has hardly used this camera.
The reason was that Chen Jingshen asked him one morning, do you want to come to the company with me
Yu Fan was woken up by his kiss in his sleep, and after listening to it, he was only full of swear words, thinking vaguely, I am noisy enough listening to you typing on the keyboard at home every day, and I am an idiot to go to your company to suffer.
After squinting for a while to wake up, he still acted like an idiot, changed clothes in a hurry and went with Chen Jingshen.
It's a week to go. But Yu Fan had no face to stay in Chen Jingshen's office, and just sat in the coffee shop downstairs.
It just so happened that Wang Yue was crying a lot in the group these days. By the end of the year, Ningcheng, where the weather was comfortable, was overcrowded, and the number of customers was increasing rapidly. She woke up every day and screamed into the group, "Why is it so hard to make money?" , "It doesn't matter if I don't earn this money." Yu Fan had nothing to do, so he just helped out in the coffee shop and edited pictures, and went home together after Chen Jingshen got off work.
The boxes at home that had been piling up for an unknown amount of time had been unpacked and arranged by them, and the house looked less empty. Chen Jingshen bought a projector, and they would occasionally watch movies together on the sofa at night.
Yu Fan likes to watch horror movies very much, and he watches them very seriously. Chen Jingshen is not interested in this type of movies, but he will not be absent every time.
On Saturday night, Yu Fan was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and his back stretched, concentrating on watching a movie. Seeing that the first climax of the movie was about to be reached, his waist was suddenly hugged, Chen Jingshen leaned towards him, closed his eyes and buried him in his neck.
"Can I not watch this?" Chen Jingshen asked.
"No. Chen Jingshen, don't make noise." Yu Fan stared at the movie screen intently.
"I'm afraid."
"Go into the room if you're afraid, I'll see for myself."
"No, I'll accompany you."
Yu Fan frowned: "I don't need you to accompany me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the female ghost suddenly rushed to the camera and took a life-threatening close-up. Yu Fan was hugged even tighter, and her whole body was embraced. Chen Jingshen's eyelids, nose tip, and lips all stuck to Yu Fan's neck.
After a while, Chen Jingshen asked, "Has the ghost left?"
Yu Fan was a little itchy from the anger he said, and raised his palm to cover Chen Jingshen's eyes in disgust: "No, I'm still chasing people, close your eyes."
This episode is a bit long. The protagonist and the female ghost are engaged in a wonderful tug-of-war. Yu Fan's spirit is tense while watching, and then his neck is suddenly licked.
Chen Jingshen turned his face, and slowly rubbed the skin under his ear. Yu Fan went numb for a moment. He wanted to push the person away, but he forgot when he saw the female ghost flashing on the screen again.
So Yu Fan sat on the sofa, being stimulated by the scenes in the movie and by his boyfriend at the same time. In order to watch a movie, there was no light left in the house, Chen Jingshen's lips and tongue passed slowly by his neck, behind the ear, and the side of his face, and the places touched were very hot.
When the climax of this episode is over, Yu Fan pushes his head away, scolds Chen Jingshen next time I watch a movie, how far will you go, and then turns over and sits on Chen Jingshen's lap, bows his head to kiss him, and then does it.
They have been living their lives in such a serious and absurd way this week. Knowing the taste by eating marrow, and the person you like is by your side, it's a bit hard to stop.
Every time after finishing, Yu Fan always cursed in the pillow half-dead. Chen Jingshen looked at Yu Fan's neck, back, tailbone... and many other places on his "crimes", and silently made plans not to toss about for a few days.
Then continue next time, confess again, and the cycle repeats.
This time they were on the couch from start to finish. Both of them were sweating, and the place where they touched was sticky. They maintained the posture of embracing each other. Yu Fan lay on his shoulder for a while, then poked him with his chin, and said lazily, "Let go, I want to see piece."
"It's over." Chen Jingshen said, "We'll hug again."
"?"
Yu Fanmeng: "Is the broadcast over?"
"Hmm. Do you want to see the Easter eggs?"
"Look at your uncle." A fierce and powerless curse.
Chen Jingshen touched his slightly protruding spine and was silent for a while, then said, "Yu Fan, it's snowing outside."
"Aren't you down for a few days?"
Chen Jingshen hummed: "Do you think it will affect tomorrow's flight?"
"..."
The seven-day vacation has come to an end, a client has made an appointment for a shoot at noon on Sunday, and Yu Fan has scheduled a flight back to Ningcheng tomorrow morning.
Chen Jingshen asked: "Changed to the day after tomorrow?"
"It won't snow the day after tomorrow?"
"I don't know, maybe." Chen Jingshen responded casually.
"..."
Yu Fan sat up straight and lifted Chen Jingshen's face.
"Chen Jingshen, don't be hypocritical." The blush on Yu Fan's cheeks hadn't dissipated, he patted Chen Jingshen's hair, his eyes were half-drooped, very much like the kind of scumbag who said nice words to perfunctory people, "I come back next time."
Chen Jingshen touched the tip of his nose with him, and said cooperatively: "Well, I will wait for you obediently."
Chen Jingshen felt that he knew his boyfriend fairly well. Usually looks fierce, but in fact he is very soft-hearted, easy to talk, playful and easy to coax, although he looked ruthless before he left, but in fact he definitely wouldn't be like that—
That's what he thought at first.
After work was over, Chen Jingshen picked up his phone and glanced at WeChat. He sent "Morning" at 9:00 in the morning, "Have you eaten" at 12:00 noon, and asked "Can I make a video tonight" two hours ago, but he hasn't received a reply yet.
Every meal he ordered for "Mochizuki Studio" was delivered successfully.
Yu Fan has been back for half a month, and it has been almost the same for the past half month. He also talked a lot less during the video at night. He guessed that the other party's photo editing software had already covered up the video interface.
When Chen Jingshen entered the elevator, he met Luo Liyang who was also off work, and the two greeted each other. Luo Liyang took advantage of this gap to gossip with him: "Why don't you go downstairs to have dinner with your partner recently?"
"He's back."
Luo Liyang let out a long sigh: "That's right, I even forgot that you are in a long-distance relationship."
Hearing this word, Chen Jingshen blinked without emotion, but finally did not refute.
"Long-distance relationships are hard work, I understand. I also had a long-distance relationship in college. I thought about it when I couldn't see anyone. I was poor at that time, so I saved money to find her. I saved for half a month. It was hard. When it comes to her..."
Chen Jingshen: "And then?"
"She hooked me up." Luo Liyang sighed, "She and her new boyfriend have been talking for three months."
"..."
After Luo Liyang finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately patted him on the shoulder: "Of course, this situation will definitely not happen to you and your partner! Hey, let's not talk about this, anyway, there is no one to accompany us, why don't we go to dinner? I just opened a new barbecue restaurant, brother treats you."
"No." Chen Jingshen said, "I have something to do today."
Luo Liyang was taken aback: "What's the matter? You have other appointments? Wait, Shen, aren't you the one who betrayed in the long-distance relationship..."
Chen Jingshen was too lazy to act with him, and after getting out of the elevator, he waved and left him behind.
Today is Ji Lianyi's 49th birthday, his grandmother called early in the morning and told him to go back after get off work. Although Ji Lianyi didn't express her opinion, she posted a Moments in the afternoon. The picture showed the crab roe buns and tomato beef brisket that Chen Jingshen liked most when she was a child.
Chen Jingshen glanced at the flowers and gift boxes on the co-driver, started the car, and just two meters away, the phone rang.
[-: Just finished working]
Is the photo shop so busy at the end of the year
Chen Jingshen held the steering wheel with one hand, and pressed the voice: "The takeaway is here, remember to eat. Video at night?"
A one-second message came back, and Chen Jingshen pressed it and just heard "um", when the screen suddenly shrank: the other party withdrew a message.
The next moment, another voice came over, this one was much longer.
"The video is gone, and there is still work tonight." There was a vague sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and his boyfriend hurriedly said, "Don't talk about Chen Jingshen, I'm very busy."
"..."
For this year's birthday, Ji Lianyi didn't invite many guests, but her natal family has many relatives, and it was still lively enough for a big round table.
Chen Jingshen got off work a bit late, and when he entered the room, other people had already served the table. In recent years, relatives have noticed the changes in the relationship between mother and son, and they subconsciously lowered their voices when they saw him.
Ji Lianyi wore a dark green knee-length dress today and put on light makeup. She has recovered very well in the past two years, the medicine has been completely stopped, and the tens of catties she lost before has been regained. At first glance, except for the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she is almost the same as before.
Only the seat next to Ji Lianyi was vacant on the round table. Chen Jingshen sat down and handed over the gift: "Happy birthday, Mom."
After waiting for two seconds, no one answered, and the dinner table was in an embarrassment, but Chen Jingshen was used to it. He was just about to stand up and put the gift behind him when his hand suddenly lightened.
Ji Lianyi took the presents and flowers, and she said, "Eat."
The expressions of the mother and the son were as indifferent as ever, and the others at the table were surprised for a short while, and then began to eat and chat about family affairs.
Talk about a small island suitable for winter travel, and talk about the upcoming New Year.
Mrs. Chat Ji had a unique vision. The price of a piece of land bought two years ago skyrocketed due to the development plan. Mrs. Ji waved her hand and said that it had nothing to do with her eyesight. She bought it to start Chen Jingshen's Internet company, but unfortunately her grandson wanted to work hard on his own, so he didn't.
Chatting about Ji Lianyi's ex-husband's business failure, he is about to go to jail, and he wants to ask someone to find a relationship, but he has nowhere to go. Although Ji Lianyi didn't say anything, she raised her glass three times on this topic.
Chen Jingshen has never been interested in these things, but it is not appropriate to be the first to leave. So after cutting the cake, he went to the balcony alone, intending to wait for the first batch of guests to leave before leaving.
Chen Jingshen took out his mobile phone, intending to secretly break his boyfriend's record when he had no time, so when Ji Lianyi opened the door and came out, what he saw was his son playing the Snake mobile game suitable for children under the age of eight with his mobile phone.
Chen Jingshen glanced back at her, slipped his finger, and the sound effect of greedy snake stopped. The balcony suddenly fell into silence, only occasionally a few strands of cool wind flowed quickly between the mother and child, as if foreseeing the unburned sparks between the two.
In the past few years, Chen Jingshen rarely came back, and nine out of ten of them would have disputes with Ji Lianyi—or Ji Lianyi's unilateral disputes and loss of control.
But she always tried to communicate peacefully at first, as she is now.
Ji Lianyi handed Chen Jingshen the jacket that was on the chair: "Put it on, it's cold outside."
Chen Jingshen took it: "Thank you."
"Are you busy with work?"
"good."
Ji Lianyi nodded. After being silent for a while, he asked again: "Looking at the photos you posted, did you go to Ningcheng a while ago?"
"Um."
"I heard that there are many water sports there, have you tried it?"
"without."
"You can try it next time. Didn't you like diving when you were young?" Ji Lianyi took out her mobile phone and said naturally, "I have a partner's son, who is the same age as you, and he said he likes this type of activity very much. If you want to travel, you can make a partner."
The phone thumped, and a WeChat business card was pushed over. Chen Jingshen stared at the other person's profile picture for a few seconds, then put the phone back in his pocket.
Ji Lianyi frowned slightly, just as she was about to say something, Chen Jingshen spoke first: "Mom, I'm going to Ningcheng to find someone."
Ji Lianyi was taken aback. For some reason, she already had a faint premonition in her heart, but she still couldn't help asking: "... who are you looking for?"
"Yu Fan."
After getting the expected answer, Ji Lianyi found that she was not as excited as she imagined.
It may be because Chen Jingshen has never shy away from mentioning this person in front of her in recent years.
I don't know how many times I heard this name, Ji Lianyi inevitably thought of that boy again. With thick and messy hair, thin and fair cheeks, and narrow and indifferent eyes, he looked like an uneducated school bully.
At the beginning, she thought that driving this gangster away was a victory. She thought that Chen Jingshen just went the wrong way because of his youth and ignorance, and thought that she could easily correct this mistake immediately.
But she forgot that Chen Jingshen is her son.
They share the same stubbornness.
After Yu Fan left, they had a big fight, and she thought of many embarrassing ways to "save" her son.
Not long after, Chen Jingshen ran away from home, and has never used a penny of his family's money since then. He finished his studies alone with the money he earned from scholarships and writing codes, entered the company, and stepped into the society. During this long growth process, her mother did not participate in the slightest.
But Chen Jingshen wasn't completely angry with her. He would come home every year, festival, birthday, or when he spoke up. It's just that when she asked about his recent days, he would explain coldly, went to Fenhe, went to Jing'an... what to do? Find Yu Fan.
Then there is the quarrel.
After years of tossing like this, Ji Lianyi finally got tired. It may be that she is getting older, or that she has experienced too many disappointments, but she has been able to accept the imperfection of some people or things. She compromised, if she likes a man, she likes a man, as long as the other party is good enough.
But Chen Jingshen is like a silent broken stone.
I don't know if it's because of drinking, Ji Lianyi is rare at this moment.
In fact, at a certain moment, she had such a thought - would it be better for him to find Yu Fan
Six years later, what will become of that little gangster? I'm afraid it has gone astray, or worse. Will Chen Jingshen wake up after removing the filter of his youth
"Find him, then what?" Ji Lianyi asked softly after being silent for a long time in the cold winter night.
"We continued talking." Feixue drifted into the balcony, and Chen Jingshen's head was stained with white, "I still like him, and I will marry him in the future. If you like, I will invite you over."
Chen Jingshen had things in his head and drove very slowly on the way home.
He was already prepared for a dispute. This time, the excitement was so great that he might even be slapped in the face, just like he did six years ago.
but none.
After he blasted all the minefields, Ji Lianyi didn't explode, and didn't even speak. She just stood there without saying a word until the first guests said they were going to leave, and then she finally turned and went back to the house.
"It's snowing a lot, so be careful when driving back," she said.
Back in the parking lot of the community, Chen Jingshen sat in the car for a while before getting out of the car and going upstairs.
He looked at himself in the elevator wall, and felt that some of Yu Fan's words were right. He was extremely relaxed and comfortable at the moment, but it was really hard to tell from his facial expression.
After thinking about it, Chen Jingshen took out his mobile phone and wanted to ask his long-distance boyfriend if he was done with work.
Just after the message was sent, the elevator door swung open, and there was a crisp notification sound from outside the door.
Chen Jingshen's house has one elevator and one household, and there is no elevator card to get in. There are two elevator cards in his house, one is in his hand, the other...
Chen Jingshen raised his head suddenly, and saw three huge suitcases.
And the boyfriend he was about to contact just now was sitting on the biggest suitcase with his back against the wall.
Hearing the movement, Yu Fan turned his head, lifeless, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Surprise—"
Then he said dissatisfied: "It's too late, Chen Jingshen."
Chen Jingshen stood in the elevator for a while, and did not come out until the alarm sounded at the elevator door.
"I went home." When he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was a little hoarse. Chen Jingshen rolled his Adam's apple, and said, "Why didn't you say it before you came here."
"Is it a surprise to say so?"
"Why don't you go in?"
"Is it a surprise to go in?"
Well-founded.
Chen Jingshen looked down: "These are also surprises?"
"Stupid you, these are my clothes."
Yu Fan coughed, raised his chin and asked solemnly, "Chen Jingshen, let's rent together."
"..."
Chen Jingshen stepped forward to swipe his fingerprints to open the door, and said, "No."
"?"
Yu Fan sat there for two seconds, just about to jump out of the suitcase and leave.
Then Chen Jingshen grabbed the luggage pole and pushed the person and the box into the house.
"It's not shared rent, it's cohabitation."
