"Just give me a house, why are you saying it like that—"
Hang Sizhou pursed his lips, but his voice changed, with a rising tail tone, adding a bit of coquettishness to his ears, "Pretentious."
Xiao Hang did not refute, but continued to look at him deeply: "Is it okay?"
The setting sun shone through the slightly opened window glass, dyeing the man's black eyes a strange deep ochre color.
It’s like the sea level I’ve seen before, under the endless sunset.
Hang Sizhou's eyes moved slightly downwards and fell on the man's straight nose.
The scent of each other was everywhere, a mixture of laundry detergent and men's woody perfume, cold but with an indescribable sweetness.
His vision and sense of smell were all occupied. After blinking several times, Hang Sizhou finally managed to hold back the "OK" that was emanating from his throat.
Ever since he sensed Xiao Hang's thoughts, he is no longer as helpless as before when facing Xiao Hang.
But there is no way to deny that at times like this, the heart is still very disobedient.
It was beating so fast that Hang Sizhou suspected that Xiao Hang could hear his heartbeat.
He raised his hand, grabbed the man's fingers that had just slid down, pinched his chin, and gently pulled them down.
As he moved, the man got closer and closer, until their lips were almost touching.
The head that was freed again tilted slightly, and Hang Sizhou looked at the thin lips that were so close to him: "I—"
A loud "beep" sound ended the ambiguous atmosphere that was endlessly extending in the car.
Hang Sizhou frowned and looked back.
Although their car was parked in the temporary parking area, it was the rush hour after get off work and it did affect the vehicles behind.
Letting go of the man's fingers, Hang Sizhou pushed him back.
He leaned back in his chair and said vaguely, "I need to think about it again, you drive," and then there was no other sound.
Xiao Hang stared at him for two seconds and did not insist on an answer.
The car merged into the traffic flow and moved forward slowly.
Hang Sizhou looked at the car whose side had not changed and felt a little impatient.
He took out his cell phone and while unlocking it, he glanced at Xiao Hang out of the corner of his eye.
The man was concentrating on driving.
There is heavy traffic on this road, so no one should be distracted by what he is doing.
Hang Sizhou clicked on the "Brotherhood Alliance" group.
[Zhou Zhou: I am dead.]
[Handsome Yan: ???]
[clear:???]
[Zhou Zhou: I think Xiao Hang may like more than just me.]
[Zhou Zhou: He wants to buy me a house, and also said—]
His fingertips hovered over the input box for several seconds, then Hang Sizhou deleted all the words he had typed in and re-entered the box.
[Zhou Zhou: Forget it, I'll keep this to myself and won't tell you guys about it.]
[clear:…]
[Handsome Yan: ???]
[Handsome Yan: Zhou Zhou, you are being disrespectful. What do you mean by saying half of the words? Isn't it normal for Xiao Hang to buy you a house when he is so rich?]
[Zhou Zhou: I want to say that too. Didn’t you protest against me before and told me to stop showing affection in the group?]
[Handsome Yan: What did he say? ]
Xiao Hang raised his eyes.
In the rearview mirror that was slightly facing right, the young man's lips were curled up and the dimples on both sides were clearly visible.
As he typed, his long eyelashes trembled.
The car windows are not fully closed.
A ray of setting sun fell there, like the fluttering wings of a fairy.
Xiao Hang tried very hard to retract his gaze and continue to concentrate on driving.
Hang Sizhou looked at the text he had entered with satisfaction and quickly tapped the send button.
[Secret, I won’t tell you.]
Next second.
[Clearly exited the group chat.]
[Handsome Yan: What happened to Qingqing? Why did you quit the group? ]
[Zhou Zhou: You ask me, who should I ask? ]
[Handsome Yan: I think he clicked the wrong button. I'll ask him to add it back.]
A few minutes later.
[Handsome Yan: Qingqing said he won’t come back.]
[Zhou Zhou: Why?]
[Handsome Yan: He said that unless you promise not to talk about you and Xiao Hang in the group anymore, he will never come back in this life.]
[Zhou Zhou: …]
-
Unlike Shen Minyun, Xiao Hang's mother Kang Ying remarried five years ago.
Her remarriage partner was a university professor named Cao Zhiwen, who wore a pair of thin-framed glasses and had a very elegant temperament.
Cao Zhiwen likes to cook in his spare time, and he also cooked today's dinner.
Several people sat around a round table and ate together.
Xiao Zhihan has been very attached to Hang Sizhou recently. As long as Hang Sizhou comes, she will always be with him.
Involve him in everything.
The same thing happened tonight. Hang Sizhou had to help her pick out the dishes and pick out the fish bones for her. If grandma hadn't stipulated that she had to sit on her own little chair when eating, she would have sat on Hang Sizhou by now.
—She did this when she spent the weekend at Hang Sizhou's place.
After dinner, Kang Ying carried the tray back to the kitchen.
There is always a clear division of labor on her side. She wipes the table and Lao Cao washes the dishes.
Just as I put down the bowl, Xiao Hang's voice came from behind me.
"Mom, is the house by the lake that you mentioned last time now on the market?"
Kang Ying turned around and asked: "Have you finally decided to buy a house?"
Unlike other men who have established a family and a career, Xiao Hang has never bought a house even though he has countless money.
Kang Ying tried to persuade him several times, but he always brushed her off.
"Well," the man said calmly, "Sizhou and I are planning to buy a new house."
Kang Ying was stunned: "You... together?"
Xiao Hang said "hmm".
The woman picked up the rag beside her and wiped her hands repeatedly in a confused manner.
Only when the back of his hand was rubbed red did he raise his face and said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to it after you said no last time. I will go and ask tomorrow."
Xiao Hang nodded slightly: "Okay."
Say it, he turned and walked out.
Kang Ying and his wife were the only ones left in the kitchen.
The woman held the rag tightly and watched her son's back as he walked into the living room. Finally, she sat next to Hang Sizhou and Xiao Zhihan, leaned over and looked at them with a smile.
After staring at the family of three for a long time, a strange idea suddenly came to Kang Ying's mind.
She turned around and tugged at her husband's sleeve: "Lao Cao, do you think Ah Hang told me this on purpose?"
Cao Zhiwen, who was concentrating on washing dishes, asked: "What?"
Kang Ying glared at him: "He came to ask me about buying a house. He is much more informed than a housewife like me, and he has an assistant to help him. If he wants to know about the opening of a new property, isn't it a matter of minutes?"
So Xiao Hang came to talk to her about this just to tell her that he and his wife were going to buy a new house.
Kang Ying's gaze once again fell on the three people in the living room.
Xiao Zhihan was sitting between Xiao Hang and Hang Sizhou.
Kang Ying could see that even with both fathers around, the little girl was more inclined towards Hang Sizhou now.
This is an instinctive human reaction, the body will move closer to the person she likes at the moment.
In just over two weeks, Hang Sizhou had completely won the little girl's love.
"You always worried about their relationship problems before, but now they are planning to buy a house together. Isn't that a good thing?"
Kang Ying frowned: "That's true..."
Over the years, she would meet Hang Sizhou's mother from time to time.
Perhaps because he didn't want Shen Minyun to worry, Hang Sizhou always created the appearance of a harmonious relationship between husband and wife in front of his mother.
But in front of her, Hang Sizhou was always distant and polite.
He seemed to have never been ready to integrate into this family, whether it was towards her, Xiao Hang, or the children.
It would be a lie to say there is no psychological gap.
Kang Ying did not resent Hang Sizhou's "cruelness". After all, it was better to know the truth at the beginning than to have her child tell her in the end that she wanted a divorce.
She just—
The back of my hand suddenly felt warm.
Cao Zhiwen held her hand and said, "Why worry so much? Children have their own blessings and lives. As parents, all we can do is to encourage and support them when they fall, and be happy for them when they are happy. That's enough."
Kang Ying lowered her eyes, her mind a little confused, and she didn't know how to respond to her husband for a moment.
At this time, there were footsteps coming towards them.
Kang Ying raised her head.
I saw Hang Sizhou had already walked to the door.
When their eyes met, Hang Sizhou called out first: "Mom."
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Now when Hang Sizhou calls her mom, he basically has no psychological burden.
"Hanhan said grandpa made her pudding this afternoon and she wants to eat it."
Hearing this, Kang Ying waved her hands and said, "No, no, she just finished her meal, you can't spoil her like this!"
"It's rare. Besides, I just observed that she doesn't eat much staple food for dinner. I have already promised her!"
The young man smiled at her, his eyes curved, his pupils shining brightly in the light: "Just think of this as... giving me a favor?"
Faced with such a Hang Sizhou, Kang Ying had no way of refusing.
She glared at him, turned around, and held out a box of pudding with a hint of helplessness: "Only let her eat one!"
Hang Sizhou took it and said, "Wow, no wonder Hanhan wants to eat it, it looks so good, I want to eat it too!"
The young man walked out briskly.
Cao Zhiwen looked at his back and said with a smile, "What a lovely child, Ah Ying, when you leave later, pack up some puddings from the refrigerator for them to take back."
Kang Ying's eyes gradually became filled with smiles: "Got it!"
Forget it, there’s no point in her thinking more.
Cao Zhiwen was right. What mattered most was that Xiao Hang liked it. Life just had to go on.
As parents, just support them.
-
"Let's Travel Together" normally shoots an episode every two weeks and departs on Friday.
This phase is relatively close to them and can be reached by car.
The two of them did not pick up Xiao Zhihan in advance. They let her finish her class on Friday morning and then went to pick her up from school.
On Thursday night, Hang Sizhou stayed at home and slowly packed his luggage.
The house purchase was eventually delayed.
Even though Xiao Hang said something that really moved him, Hang Sizhou was still a little hesitant.
Although this house is disgusting now, he has lived there for such a long time, so it is not completely unacceptable to live there for a while longer.
Xiao Hang also said that he was fully responsible for the decoration and there would be no problem.
In the past two days, Hang Sizhou has been following a lot of apps for selling and buying houses, and plans to check out any suitable houses when he has free time.
Since it is a "home", it would definitely be appropriate for two people to work on it together.
—We can’t leave all the worries to Xiao Hang alone.
After packing his clothes, Hang Sizhou's eyes fell on the book "How to Be a Big 1/0".
After staring at the cover for a while, Hang Sizhou stuffed the book into the box.
No matter how professional the book was, Hang Sizhou felt overwhelmed whenever he thought of the scene that Xiao Hang saw that day.
In order to avoid more strange moments from happening in the future, it is better to return the book to the idol and let him "study" on his own.
Just as he stuffed the books in his pocket, Xiao Hang came out of the study and asked, "Are you done?"
Hang Sizhou collapsed on the sofa: "Okay."
Xiao Hang's eyes fell on his empty fingers: "You don't want to wear the ring?"
"No, no," Hang Sizhou waved his hand, "It's too ostentatious to wear more than 100 million on your hand."
Xiao Hang lowered his eyes and looked at him with a gloomy look.
Hang Sizhou looked at him and said, "Don't look at me like that. I like this diamond very much. If it is really lost or taken away by someone else and I can't find it, where can I go to cry?"
When the topic of "crying" came up, the man curled his eyes and said, "Then don't bring it."
Seeing someone passing him and heading to the bedroom, Hang Sizhou reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt. The question about the diamond had been lingering in his mind, and he could no longer hold it in.
He was a little hesitant to ask directly.
After thinking about it, I found a compromise way to ask: "Someone told me that you bought this diamond for me, but I don't really believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?"
Hang Sizhou said as a matter of course: "I never told you that I wanted this diamond, how did you know I wanted it?"
Xiao Hang clenched his fist at his side, then quickly unclenched it: "You said so."
"Ah?" Hang Sizhou sat up from the sofa. "Did you really buy it for me? When did I tell you?"
Xiao Hang didn't answer, but silently walked away.
He didn't stop until he reached the bedroom door and said softly, "Think for yourself."
Hang Sizhou made a face at his back.
You bastard, you're still keeping us in suspense.
With Jing Qing's words, Hang Sizhou was very sure that he definitely did not say that he wanted it when Xiao Hang was filming.
So when is that
Hang Sizhou leaned on the sofa with his head tilted, staring at the bedroom door for a long time.
-
This time the shooting location was in a small town not far from their city.
This is an ancient town with hundreds of years of history. In the past two years, the direct-administered government has been committed to the renovation and development of the town.
We finally completed the first phase of the project in the second half of this year. Naturally, we hope to quickly attract traffic, recoup some funds, and continue with subsequent projects.
The "Let's Travel Together" program group became the first and most suitable way of promotion that they thought of.
But when everyone arrived, a rare heavy rainstorm suddenly hit the town.
The facilities in the houses that they were originally scheduled to stay in were too old and could not withstand such a high rainfall at once. Fearing the risk of leaks and electric leakage, the program team had to arrange for everyone to spend one night in a hotel.
The normal filming of the program had to be postponed to the next day.
After arriving at the hotel, Xiao Zhihan saw the slide downstairs and clamored to go down and play.
Xiao Hang had no choice but to accompany him and let Hang Sizhou take the luggage upstairs first.
Hang Sizhou opened the box and was about to pack his luggage when someone knocked on the door.
Hang Sizhou opened the door and went forward.
"Where's Hanhan? Every time my kid comes here, he clamors to play with his sister Hanhan. It turns out that he doesn't want his dad anymore when he has a sister he likes!" Xiang Jin has a loud voice and is always full of energy.
Hang Sizhou: "My kid doesn't want his dad anymore when he sees the slide. He's having fun downstairs now!"
Xiang Jin laughed out loud.
While Hang Sizhou was talking, he did not stop cleaning up.
"Hey," Xiang Jin grabbed the CD that Lu Chenfeng had given him and placed it on the table, "Zhou Zhou, do you like Jun?"
Hang Sizhou paused: "Do you like him too?"
Xiang Jin nodded: "I have collaborated with him twice, and those two songs are still the works I am most satisfied with."
Unlike Lu Chenfeng, Xiang Jin is a well-known music producer who has produced many hit songs and has a strong ability to reward music.
Even he said so, Hang Sizhou's curiosity was completely ignited.
After Xiang Jin left, Hang Sizhou quickly opened the music app on his mobile phone and randomly searched for a song according to the tracks on the CD.
He took out his headphones and put them on.
When the first note flowed into his ears, Hang Sizhou stopped moving.
He stood there, motionless, and listened to the entire song.
Then, search for the second song and listen to it again without moving.
Then, the third, fourth, fifth...
It was not until his legs began to ache that Hang Sizhou came back to his senses from that state of extreme immersion.
The cerebral cortex was numbing, the heart was beating at high speed, and I seemed to be able to feel the rapid circulation of blood with every breath.
Not only that, his fingertips were also trembling slightly.
Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard behind me.
Hang Sizhou turned around suddenly.
Xiao Hang lowered his head to change his shoes, and when he looked up, he saw Hang Sizhou looking at him straight, his eyes wide open, without blinking.
"You—" The man frowned slightly.
"Xiao Hang, have you ever felt the feeling of finding a soul mate?" Hang Sizhou asked, his voice trembling.
Xiao Hang was walking inside, but Hang Sizhou's words suddenly pinned him to the ground.
"I always thought this kind of thing was ridiculous. How could there be someone in this world who completely understands what you are thinking?" Hang Sizhou walked towards him.
The young man still had earphones in his ears, but his face showed a look of deep intoxication.
He looked at Xiao Hang with eyes that were affectionate and frank, "Now I believe that there is really someone in this world who can turn those unrealistic fantasies floating in your mind into reality, and even make them better and more touching."
When he said the last few sentences, Hang Sizhou was so excited that his eyes turned red.
"Your soul mate..."
Xiao Hang looked at his lover who was speaking touching words, and his heart was filled with excitement. He wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms.
At the moment he was about to touch the other person, Hang Sizhou suddenly turned around, grabbed the CD on the table and showed it to him.
"Have you heard the songs written by Jun?"
"Jun?" Xiao Hang had heard of this name, but he himself was not interested in music. In recent years, apart from some old songs, the only music he listened to was those released by Hang Sizhou.
Hang Sizhou held the CD in his arms, his eyes filled with excitement that was about to overflow.
"Ahhh, I like him so much. I declare that from today on, he is my soul mate."
Xiao Hang's face instantly darkened, as if he had heard something extremely absurd.
He took two quick steps and wanted to ask Hang Sizhou what he meant, but Hang Sizhou had already turned around and walked towards the bedroom faster than him.
Not only that, Hang Sizhou also said as he walked: "Please pack your luggage. I will continue to communicate with him spiritually. Don't look for me before dinner time!"
"… "
The author has something to say:
Mr. Xiao sneered: "Juan", right? You are dead.
