Car door closed up momentarily Jiangxi who was in shock : what on earth.. Without caring that she is dizzy and blurry eyed, immediately she climbed up to push the door but it was already loocked , and so she grabbed hold of the driver and asked : ¡°who are you guys? ¡± Before she could speak out her words, she was already struck unconscious by a hand knife Its ten at night at a vi in lu mountain Shengjianian¡¯s car drove into thepound.

One night, fifteen years ago, he was abandoned in a small town beforeter being adopted by a kindhearted old man. The old man back then, took the small boy with him back to his vige, iming the child as his very own grandson and singlehandedly struggled to raise him until he was grown. He, Han Yang, was not yet five years old when he was discarded. The cold days of the twelfth lunar month almost froze him to death that night. A person who was there at the time said when Grandpa picked him up back then, he was frozen to the point where his entire body changed colour, shrunk into a corner, not even shivering. Afterwards it took almost half of a year for the small boy to recuperate, as well as, learning to speak once more. Sadly, the experience also left behind an aftereffect where if it was winter or if the weather was wet, both of his legs would hurt. During elementary school, in his fifth year, Grandpa told Han Yang about his past. He found out he was not his grandfather¡¯s biological grandson but was instead adopted. At the time, Han Yang saw the the other children around him had parents who took care of them. Sometimes he also wondered what his own parents were like, but due to him being at such a young age at the time of his abandonment, he had already long forgotten their appearances. When he grew older, Han Yang also thought about finding them. But when he truly ¡°grew up¡±, andter understood the meaning of his circumstances, he no longer had such an idea. Not wanting to destroy his calm andfortable life, along with¨Cmore importantly, not wanting to leave that person who struggled to raise him, were his reasons. He was even called his Grampa¡¯s ¡®Oldman¡¯. [T/n: because he cares for his grandfather so well, like a dad, the call him grandpa¡¯s Oldman=dad] What parents were supposed to be, Han Yang learned from a book. They were not like those two people who threw him away in a world of ice and snow. Even without parents, he still received love from his Grandpa, love that was no less than that given to others. In the College Entrance Examinations results, Han Yang¡¯s was ranked first amongst all candidates in his province. Of the many school he casted out olive branches to, he chose L University due to them having the best conditions out of all his other choices. His n was simple: do well in exams, get into a good university, study his books well, then find a good job which would allow him to take his Grandpa and let him also live a better life. After entering university, Han Yang majored Computer Science. Sophomore year, he slowly began writing programs to sell for those that needed them, or took some work from those wanting private websites. Along with making some money, he also gained a lot of experience from those jobs. And if such progress continued, he couldter find a good job after he graduated quickly. But, everything was thrown into chaos by those two people called his parents. Before, Han Yang never thought he would meet the parents he had never met, in such a way. Now both those people who gave birth to him, were before him, on their knees, shedding tears. At the sight of their faces, Han Yang had no impression of them in his memories at the age of five. The two before him, did not tend to him for one when he was sick, did not care for him, did not pick him up from school, nor did theye to his side when he got into scuffles and fights with his ssmates who teased him about not having them around. They had practically left no trace whatsoever of themselves in his life. The first word he learned again was, Grandfather, not mother nor father. Previously, Han Yang always thought that maybe his parents suffered some sort of hardship, resulting in him being abandoned. He also thought that maybe they woulde back to find him, saying to him, ¡°Son, we are your parents. From now on, we will take care of you.¡± So in actuality, his thoughts were notpletely wrong. He did, after all, have someonee find him. Except, there were no warmhearted whispers, no show of affection, and no embrace he had¨Cfor so long¨Cbeen waiting for. Since the ones who came to find him were not just his parents, but also their creditor... HeLian Qing. Without warning and with an irresistible posture, this indifferent and tough looking man, broke into his life. The man threw the bill of arrears before him, the signature of his parents names clear in ck and white, before he condescendingly said, ¡°Han Yang, was it? Beginning from today you are mine. You are HeLian Qing¡¯s.¡± Those two iming to be his birth parents, guiltily and sorrowfully, apologised. Gradually, he understood the reason for this matter. They owed HeLian Qing arge debt, and right before his eyes the creditor took him as coteral. Han Yang had never met them, so naturally he did not believe the ridiculous words they had said. Only after the DNAparison came back, proving all the above information to be true, did he ept it. Looking at HeLian Qing, he asked, ¡°What if I disagree?¡± The stern man sat on the sofa, even from the corner of his eyes, his gaze lingered, not leaving Han Yang for a second. His response began with a, ¡°Huh?¡± before he added, ¡°...then well just do the legal procedure instead.¡± ording to thew, such arge quantity of debt was enough to send those two persons to prison. Han Yang, taken aback, almost fainted in that moment but HeLian Qing¡¯s next words held him firmly in ce. ¡°Of course, even if they are sent to prison, they would still have to pay.¡± After saying this, his eyes slowly lifted, gazing towards Han Yang before he spoke, ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, I think there will be someone more than willing to do it for you.¡± Those eyes of his held no emotion as he spoke, they gave Han Yang a chill. The other person who will take care of it themselves...... On who that personal could be, he did not have to think about it for long to know who it would be. That pair, who can be called his biological parents, took Han Yang¡¯s hands as they wailed and said they had no choice but to abandon him back then. They said they were driven into a corner, where even his food and shelter were not guaranteed if they raised him. Furthermore, if not for him being left in that small town, he would not have been here today. Both of the faces of the two wept bitterly, Han Yang¡¯s eyes became misty, he could only faintly hear them say they were sorry, along with their begging for him to forgive them. They said, they gave birth to him and no matter what they were still his biological parents. They said, He LianQing was a good person who would be good to him, and that being with He LianQing would be betterpared to his current life They said a lot, it was just that Han Yang was no longer listening. Instead he thought about his Grandpa, in that little town, who taught him how to write and to y chess. Grandpa: Xiao Yang, If your parents find you, don¡¯t me them. Maybe they had no choice but to do what they did. T/n: Xiao-little. Prefix used in the name if someone younger. Yes, they had no choice. That man who knelt at his feet, who was called his father, wept as he said to him, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we had no other choice.¡± A parents debt, a child will repay. Indeed there was no choice. Unable to exin what was that feeling welling in his heart, for a long time Han Yang remained silent, until HeLian Qing became impatient. Then he, Han Yang, slowly signed his name on the contract, thus cancelling his parents¡¯ debt. A moment ago he didn¡¯t feel much, but in the split second after signing his name, the expected decade worth of emotion and familial love disappeared and Han Yang, within his heart, only felt dread. Even though he could barely remember things at five years of age, it¡¯s unheard of to not remember someone who kissed you on your cheek or lifted you up in the air. Soon those vague memories became clear suddenly in that moment. Before his eyes, his parent¡¯s faces coincided, but very quickly became like flowers in a mirror or like the moon reflected in water¨Can illusion. The feeling from that chilly winter from all those years ago returned, along with the feeling of what his body felt like after it shrank in that corner because those frosty winds. Gently, he pulled and lifted the two people tugging at his clothes, looking at them, ¡°Thank you for giving birth to me, but in all those years you still hadn¡¯t gone looking for me and even now you still hadn¡¯t asked whether I was well. Didn¡¯t you even think that when you left me there at that time, that I would of been frozen to death.¡± Seeing the shame and remorse on his parent¡¯s faces transform into relief from their debt being cleared, he suddenly felt somewhat ridiculous, as well as, somewhat sorrowful. Loosening his hold on the two people¡¯s hands, the corners of his mouth pulled themselves to reveal a smile. Looking at them he spoke, each syble pronounced slow and clear, ¡°Since before you did not want toe find me, so,ter also do note looking for me again. As from no on, I have no more rtion with either of you.¡± Now that he had ¡°sold himself¡±, Han Yang did not think he would be able to live his life as he did before. Thankfully, HeLian Qing did not take him that very day, instead he allowed him to pack up his luggage in his dormitory and wouldter have someone elsee get him. He expressly said, he would not impose restrictions to limit Han Yang¡¯s daily life, and Han Yang can take whatever sses he had just as usual. When the second day since he moved into the other¡¯s ce passed, HeLian Qing had gone out on a business trip, leaving the two with absolutely no time to learn to get along with one another. Before leaving, the man threw a nce Han Yang, noticing his slightly stupefied look, HeLian Qing coldly said, ¡°Sort out your emotions. I don¡¯t want to see a dead fish like face when I return. Remember one thing, I am to be your husband, not your enemy.¡± Upon hearing those words, the corners of Han Yang¡¯s mouth pulled inwards, leaving him to wear an expressionless face as he said, ¡°Take care.¡± After HeLian Qing left, Han Yang, despite often feeling unustomed to being in a strangers home, basically rxed. He was the only one in the house right now after all. In the next two weeks he would have to just ept the circumstances as they were and gradually forget that the owner of this house is that man called HeLian Qing. That is, until this day, when HeLian Qing returned. ................................. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 After finishing his shower, HeLian Qing came out to see Han Yang¨Conce again¨C nesting in his original position, writing something. The clip that held up his hair had already been taken off, the hint of childishness he had before, was no more. Once again, he transformed into the cautious fellow he was when they had first met. On the dining table, and still steaming hot,id his dinner. The spread had egg-fried rice, and greens along with a saucer of cucumbers mixed in a soybean paste. Next to those were a bowl of hot chicken soup, as well as, egg-fried rice with peas and carrots mixed in. Judging by the color alone, it all looked quite good. Those kinds of simple dishes arranged on the dinner table, appeared exceptionally warm an fragrant, allowing the originally cold mein worn on the man¡¯s face to soften. After drinking two mouthfuls of soup the ufortable feeling in his stomach calmed down. HeLian Qing then tasted a bite of the fried rice, the vour was extraordinarily good. Indeed, it was just as the information gathered about Han Yang said, he was truly a very good cook. HeLian Qing used the spoon to scoop yet another bite of rice. At that moment Han Yang, still focused on his work, began, ¡°There were no more ingredients, so you¡¯ll have to make do by eating this little right now. The soup was made this afternoon though.¡± After saying that he stopped at once, then raised his head to look at HeLian Qing, ¡°Sorry, I... ...forgot you wereing back today.¡± After thatst sentence was spoken, HeLian Qing¡¯s smoothened brows once again creased. He took the rice filled spoon to his mouth, leisurely chewing then swallowing, then somewhat mockingly spoke, ¡°You simply didn¡¯t remember?¡± Han Yang was speechless, he really was, but this time all he could do was lower his head in silence. He didn¡¯t know what he should say, after all, the two were still unfamiliar with each other. Even if he could say something he wouldn¡¯t know how or what to. All he knew of HeLian Qing was just a brief introduction he found in a Finance magazine, and the impression he got when he signed the contract that day. Seeing him once again lower his head, HeLian Qing felt a bit agitated. The delicious egg fried rice from just a moment ago, suddenly became tasteless. He looked towards Han Yang, ¡°Have you forgotten who you are?¡± You haven¡¯t forgotten who you are. The man¡¯s words to Han Yang made his heart turn in circles, the corners of his mouth slipped slightly, pressing themselves together even tighter. Who he is? Yes of course, who he is, was HeLian Qing¡¯s contracted wife. At that time as payment of the debt, Han Yang believed he was sold to He LianQing to be a form ofbour and such, but in the end the contract¡¯s contents startled him. It was not that of abourer, but one of a marital rtionship. Although same sex marriage was allowed by thew since two years ago, and if both parties were willing, they could use medical methods to extract sperm to have their own children, Han Yang had grown up in a small vige. There, for such matters like marriage, the understanding of it was quite traditional. It was always about the bnce between Yin and Yang, and he had never thought about the same sex in that way. In fact, strictly speaking, Han Yang cannot be said to be homosexual or heterosexual, he simply never liked anyone. Whether be it man or woman, in his lifetime, feelings of affection for another were totally nonexistent. He spent almost twenty years just studying and making money. Although he thought thatter he would marry a cute, clever, and kindhearted girl but that too was nothing but a short lived idea. What he wanted to do the most, was to keep that old man¨Cwho for many years took care of him¨Cby his side, giving that Grandpa Sun a peaceful ce to stay for the rest of his life. Right then, HeLian Qing reminded him to not forget his identity, but what else was there to remember? Surely, it couldn¡¯t be he wanted Han Yang to be the same as a wife who waits at home everyday for her husband to return home. Just thinking about something like that was ridiculous enough to him. Both of Han Yang¡¯s hands rested on the keyboard and he did not speak a word. Even by looking at the information on the screen before him, he couldn¡¯t understand any of it. HeLian Qing had returned and how exactly they would merge their lives had him at a loss. Why was he going to use a man¡¯s body to act as his wife? HeLian Qing was undoubtedly an outstanding person. A handsome appearance, a rich family background, in addition to a sessful career. It was just that no matter how outstanding the other party was, Han Yang never thought about wanting to find a man. ¡°Are you spacing out?¡± He LianQing noticed Han Yang looked absentminded, so he asked in a loud voice. ¡°Huh?¡± The man¡¯s voice interrupted his train of thought. He then lifted his head to see that the other had already eaten everything. Just by looking at the man, his words words faltered as he tried to speak. ¡°If you have something to say just say it. Why are you stammering, are you a girl?¡± ¡°... ...¡± In a few short conversations, Han Yang decisively discovered that HeLian Qing¡¯s disposition was indeed very bad. Since the man himself said so, he no longer had any reason to hesitate. Thinking about starting to talk he said, ¡°So you...¡± HeLian Qing¡¯s face turned cold, asking ¡°Who do you think you¡¯re calling?¡± Han Yang, ¡°Mr. HeLian.¡± HeLian Qing, ¡°Just call me by name, or would you rather call me ¡®husband¡¯.¡± Han Yang, ¡°... ...¡± ¡°HeLian Qing.¡± with regard to this HeLian Qing, Han Yang wanted to hold his forehead in his palms. He hesitated, then spoke, ¡°I thought it over. Two weeks ago we didn¡¯t know each other, in fact right now, we still don¡¯t know one another... ...¡± Before he finished speaking, HeLian Qing stood up from his stool walked towards him, then stood before him, ¡°You think we don¡¯t know each other?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t truly know each other... ...¡± ¡°You think we don¡¯t really know each other?¡± ¡°Other than your name, I don¡¯t really know anything about you.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± HeLian Qing¡¯s eyebrows rose, ¡°So you meant you want to know more about me?¡± ¡°No, I meant we¡¯re not familiar with each other, this isn¡¯t an appropriate way for us to get to know each other.¡± Han Yang said. [T/n: There are different words that express varying degrees of ¡°to know¡± Han Yang changes his ¡°know¡± from the more shallow (ÖªµÀ:zh¨© d¨¤o), then (ÈÏʶ:r¨¨n shi) to the deeper meaning (Á˽â:lI¨£o ji¨§) but even these could have a shallow meaning if one misinterprets them like HeLian Qing does so Han Yang literally says ¡°ÊìϤ:sh¨´ x¨©: ¡°familiar with¡± which has the most intimate meaning] ¡°Familiar with each other?¡± HeLian Qing scoffed, ¡°I¡¯ve already read your profile earlier, if you want, I can five you a copy of my profile too.¡± Han Yang, ¡°... ...¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Han Yang tried to exin, ¡°I¡¯m saying, we don¡¯t have the foundations of a rtionship. Right now this kind of rtionship, You...don¡¯t you think this method is too rash? I think we have to talk about this.¡± In the end, Han Yang was still dissatisfied with the rtionship between the two. After listening to him, HeLian Qing silently watched him for a few seconds, a smile¨Cyet not a smile, rose on his lips, as he said, ¡°Talk about what? About how your parents debt began in the first ce? Or is it about you signing that contract? When you signed it back then you were unexpectedly quite happy, so is it that now you¡¯re scared?¡± His words cut like a knife, slicing through Han Yang¡¯s calm demeanor, revealing the sorrow he choked down that day. Even though on that day he feigned staunch indifference regarding his own parents using him as ¡°repayment¡± in that deal. He still could not hide within the depths of his heart the lie of him being unbothered, that it wasn¡¯t a big deal. HeLian Qing spoke indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t delude yourself into thinking this can change, you don¡¯t have the power to change it. Also, tomorrow morning, you¡¯reing with me on a trip back home.¡± ¡°Tomorrow I...¡± Han Yang began. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, not asking for your opinion.¡± HeLian Qing interrupted him to add, while quietly giving him a quick, dismal nce, ¡°Besides, an ugly daughter-inw, nevertheless, has to meet her parents-inw.¡± [T/n: ³ó ϱ¸¾×ÜÒª¼û¹«ÆŵÄ(The ugly wife will have to meet has to meet her inws) is an idiom meaning: things can¡¯t be hidden and will always be revealed.] Han Yang, ¡°... ...¡± In his twenty years of life, Han Yang suddenly became aware that he was ugly. ¡°Understand? If you do, say something.¡± HeLian Qing asked. ¡°Yeah.¡± Han Yang answered. Having received his answer, HeLian Qing returned to his room. Thosest two weeks of work actually made him a bit exhausted. In the living room, only one person remained. Han Yang absentmindedly tapped away on his keyboard, when he returned from his daze he found that on his screen was a huge string of nonsensical code. Sighing faintly, he deleted the lines before saving the file and shutting down hisputer. Putting theputer aside, Han Yang slipped on his slippers, then took HeLian Qing¡¯s used dishes to the kitchen, washing them clean. Having no way to avoid the matter, since things were as they were, he could only take it one step at a time. As soon as he finished with washing up, Han Yang returned to the bedroom to find HeLian Qing already fast asleep. With only a thin quilt covering his waist, the man¡¯s sturdy back was entirely exposed. Han Yang didn¡¯t think that this kind of strong, stoic man would actually likeying on his stomach as he slept. The act made the face atop the pillow, not have the same cold look as before. For a night at the beginning of autumn, it was somewhat cold so Han Yang went to the bedside, took hold of the quilt, pulling it up to cover the man¡¯s back. Afterwards, he intended to go sleep in the guest room but surprisingly, just as he started to leave his hand was grabbed, turning him around to see that just sleeping person now wide awake. ¡°Where are you going?¡± HeLian Qing asked while still holding his hand. ¡°I¡¯m heading to the guest room to sleep.¡± Han Yang responded. After he finished speaking, HeLian Qing eyes once again appeared to be taunting him. Looking at him, the man spoke, ¡°We are still not married so you intend to sleep in a second room, but sooner orter you will be mine, so there¡¯s no need to.¡± Han Yang, ¡°... ...¡± Actually, what HeLian Qing said was not wrong, sooner orter, there¡¯d be no need to. But deep inside Han Yang¡¯s heart was the courage to believe that he could avoid that day. However, at this moment, given the current situation there was not much possibility of that, as HeLian Qing¡¯s strong hold on his arm bore an unquestionable meaning. Several seconds passed as Han Yang convinced himself HeLian Qing regarded the matter the same as ssmates in a dormitory, the only difference being, the ssmates would sleep together on the same bed at night. This way of thinking allowed him to nod and say, he understood. Hearing him, HeLian Qing released his hold. Han Yang turned around, headed for the other side of the bed and immediatelyid down. The bed was huge, even with those two on it, the distance between them wasrge enough to fit two other persons. HeLian Qing, through half opened eyes, looked at Han Yang as heid down on the edge of the bed. Unsatisfied, he reached over to pull Han Yang towards him, embracing him, ¡°What are you doingying so far away? I wanted to do this, it¡¯ll be pointless if you ended up sleeping on the floor.¡± Do...... Do what? Han Yang simply couldn¡¯t dare think of what that meant. HeLian Qing, ¡°Now be quiet, I won¡¯t touch you today so go to sleep, I¡¯m very tired.¡± Because the two were pressed together quite closely, the other man¡¯s voice was practically in his ear. Han Yang was not ustomed to the man¡¯s heated breath, his ears felt a bit hot, and HeLian Qing hadn¡¯t worn a shirt! HeLian Qing was truly very tired it seemed, after saying those words, he had fallen fast asleep once more. His arm was fixed across Han Yang¡¯s waist, while his chest was stuck to Han Yang¡¯s arm. His body heat made Han Yang feel as if his own arm was roasting, but he didn¡¯t dare move so simply he remained still, all he could do was stare nkly at the ceiling. Other than sleeping together with Grandpa during his childhood, Han Yang had never been so intimate to another person. Even though he got along with his ssmates, his rtionship with them hadn¡¯t gone to the point of sharing a bed with each other. Now, he was unable to put into words the feeling in his heart, though he didn¡¯tpletely hate it, he didn¡¯t like it either. This strangeness, made Han Yang¡¯s innermost being feel insecure. One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep, five sheep...... In the past, he was able to sleep just fine, but with the other person beside him he couldn¡¯t fall asleep as easily. Ultimately, he could only employ themon go-to method of hypnosis, counting sheep. Even after counting to a thousand, Han Yang still showed no signs of sleepiness. The steady breathing of the one beside him told him HeLian Qing was indeed sleeping. Turning his head slightly, He looked at the handsome face resting on the pillow next to him, he really thought about going on the floor instead. One HeLian Qing, two HeLian Qing¡¯s, three HeLian Qing¡¯s, four HeLian Qing¡¯s, five HeLian Qing¡¯s...... Still counting, Han Yang finally, after countless sheep which transformed into HeLian Qing¡¯s, fell asleep. ............................... Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Light from the morning sun trickled through the tiny slits of the blinds covering the bedroom¡¯s French windows. The bright specs shone as they lit up the floorboards. Due to his inner biological clock, HeLian Qing had already woken up long ago, yet he remained reclined on the bed, maintaining the same position. All this was because on this particr morning he awoke to discover the one who tried to avoid him, as well as keep a distance between them, was now deeply asleep on the pit of his stomach. Unlike their first two interactions, which consisted mostly of polite alienation, after falling asleep Han Yang seemed to appear unimaginably more gentle. In that room, his features became indescribably soft. The corners of his mouth rose ever so slightly, as he dreamt of something quite amusing, he even acted like a spoiled kid, nuzzling against him a few times. HeLian Qing was quite surprised by this, looking at him with interest as he awaited the sort of expression the other would have because of their unexpected positioning. Tranted by -iana-, When writing code, Han Yang waspletely obsessed. He was so absorbed while doing this task that he didn¡¯t even notice when someone opened the door and entered the room. Ten minutester, Han Yang woke up. HeLian Qing¡¯s sudden return had made his nerves a little tense, causing him to not fall asleep until it was past midnight. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. Last night, he had a dream. He dreamt about his childhood, about his old house and his huge dog, Pang Jiaozi[1], ying in an open field. At that time, he was just eight years old so when Pang Jiaozi stood up, it was almost as tall as him. Back then when he yed with Pang Jiaozi, it would often use its head to gently brush against him, coaxing him. He in turn, would chase Pang Jiaozi around the field until his Grandpa came calling for him to return home for his meal. Now, that dream of his younger years faded into the distance, Grandpa had be old and grey, and Pang Jiaozi, who had been at his side as he grew up, had also passed away. Stretching out his arms then rubbing his eyes, Han Yang squinted as he stared towards the blinds where the bright light shone through wearing a bewildered expression.

After his spirit returned he was left stunned¨C speechless¨Cat the sight of HeLian Qing¡¯s hanging head staring down at him and that he was actuallyying on the other¡¯s stomach.

Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be For HeLian Qing, when he saw Han Yang rubbing his eyes he knew at once the younger man had woken up. Having waited expectingly to observe his reaction, he found that Han Yang wore a nk expression as he looked ahead, face disying no emotion whatsoever at their current positions and neither did he utter a word. HeLian Qing also noticed that Han Yang who began to get off the bed, unexpectedly, stayed...... Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s.

Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Han Yang quickly got off his body. He did not know for how long HeLian Qing had been awake, or if he had been sleeping like that sincest night wouldn¡¯t the other be quite tired having spent all that time holding such a posture. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. While apologising, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder about his dream where he was clearly hugging Pang Jiaozi, and how exactly he ended up on top of HeLian Qing, embracing him. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. ......Not only that, but also about how that man¡¯s bad temperament wouldn¡¯t be as good Jiaozi¡¯s. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be With his newfound freedom, HeLian Qing massaged his stiffened shoulder. In order to allow that just awakened one sleepfortably, he had kept his arm quite still. What he did not expect was Han Yang to be, well, okay. Instead, he predicted that other would arise to treat him as a ¡®great scourge[2]¡¯ before hastily retreating like always. Tch, he hasn¡¯t run away yet, huh? Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Seeing HeLian Qing rubbing his shoulders, Han Yang unintentionally said, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to do it, are you okay?¡± Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be At once, HeLian Qing¡¯s arm stopped, immediately rubbing less in an attempt to downy the action after catching a glimspe of Han Yang, ¡°I never expected something like this to happen, yesterday you even kept your distance from me still.¡± Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°......¡± Han Yang had no words, at his discovery of HeLian Qing not taking a jab at[3] him as usual. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. Lifting the quilt, HeLian Qing got off the bed, heading to his wardrobe to look for a change of clothes. Turning around, he saw Han Yang still sitting on the bed, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower, you should go tidy yourself up so we can go grab something to eat.¡± Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. ¡°Do you usually shower this early in the morning?[4]¡± Han Yang asked absentmindedly, regretting his question as soon as the words left his lips. He looked at the man¡¯s face to see that, all too familiar, mocking mein emerge just as expected. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. ¡°I¡¯m going to wash off the drool you left on my gut.¡± HeLian Qing stated before heading off to the bathroom. He said he was going to clean off my drool. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. Immediately after the door was closed, Han Yang wiped the corners of his mouth only to realise they were in fact, dry. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡®Such a sharp-tongue¡¯, Han Yangmented in his heart. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be At noon during lunch, HeLian Qing received a phone-call, addressing the caller as, HeLian Lao Yezi, as in, HeLian Qing¡¯s Grandfather. [T/n: Lao Yezi is a respectful way of addressing an elderly male.] Han Yang, even though he did not personally know HeLian Lao Yezi, he nevertheless, knew how Lao Yezi had a lot of influence in L-City¡¯s corporate sector. This old man was quite different from his own kind Grandpa, so in his heart he couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit nervous at that fact. Though he kept those feelings from showing on his face as he lowered his head and continued eating in silence. ¡°Yeah.¡± HeLian Qing said to the caller, his eyes then swept towards the tight-lipped student who still had not said a word, before leisurely stating, ¡°I¡¯m bringing your granddaughter-inw[5] back with me.¡± Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Han Yang¡¯s chopsticks stopped in an instant, his expression froze. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be The corners of HeLian Qing¡¯s lips rose a smidge as he added a few more sentences before hanging up his phone. cing the device down beside him, he nced at Han Yang, ¡°Contrary to what I¡¯d expect, you seem rather calm.¡± Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be His tone was neither soft nor hard. Unable to decipher what that meant, Han Yang raised his head to meet him face to face, ¡°If I¡¯m not calm would you let me go back?¡± Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°What do you think?¡± HeLian Qing asked. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be It was impossible to respond to such a question. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Han Yang already knew from what he witnessedst night and of what HeLian Qing said, he wouldn¡¯t be able to back out of this asion. Also, what HeLian Qing had said earlier was actually wrong, it was not that he wasn¡¯t nervous, just that there was nothing to be done about it even if he was, except for taking things one step at a time. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°Don¡¯t I have to buy a gift for when I arrive?¡± Han Yang asked in the car, after all, it was his first time meeting them. If he brought nothing with him it woulde off very impolite, however, Han Yang himself didn¡¯t know what he could buy. For a family as prominent as the Helian¡¯s, and him still being a college student who hasn¡¯t yet had a steady job, any gift he buys might seem insignificant. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°I¡¯ll buy it, okay. Besides, soon it¡¯ll be them who should be giving you gifts.¡± HeLian Qing held the steering wheel, stealing nces at Han Yang who sat beside him, ¡°Just a bit of sweet talker[6], huh.¡± Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°......¡± Han Yang¡¯s face deadpanned. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be HeLian Qing scoffed and grinned, not saying anything further. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Whenpared to the small vige he grew up in, Han Yang definitely thought HeLian Qing¡¯s three bedroom, living room plus dining room house was already more than luxurious. But at this time, when he caught sight of the HeLian¡¯s family home he knew it wasn¡¯t just more extravagant, it was too extravagant. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be The four storey medium-sized vi was not that tall, but it did spread to cover a wide area. Whening through the entrance one was immediately greeted by a huge courtyard about the size of a football field, in addition, beside it was a garden, a pond, and so on. Tranted by -iana-, long bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray hairs up. HeLian Qing exined that normally, due to work, he stayed in his apartment so now only his grandfather, parents as well as their servants lived in the family home. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Surely it couldn¡¯t be each person lived on a floor of their own? Han Yang let his imagination run wild. Thinking of his family¡¯s own tiny, one story house he couldn¡¯t help but sigh the line, ¡®As expected, from the diabolic nature of capitalists.¡¯ Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be After parking the car in the courtyard, HeLian Qing took out a few bags of gifts, handing them to a servant waiting nearby then brought Han Yang into the house. A bitter, having already entered the house, only a few servants were around and neither HeLian Qing¡¯s father nor mother were at home. Seeing HeLian Qing¡¯s arrival they respectfully weed him, adding no unnecessary small-talk which made that extremely huge room appear cold. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Compared to this, Han Yang preferred his family¡¯s bungalow, even though it was small and old, it had warmth,fort and joy. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°Is Lao Yezi upstairs?¡± HeLian Qing asked. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°Lao Yezi finished his meal then headed to his study soon after.¡± The servant respectfully replied. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Everyone in the house knew of Lao Yezi¡¯s habit of heading upstairs after lunch to y chess, HeLian Qing nodde in response then pulled Han Yang up the stars at once. Surely enough, on the second floor in the study, they found Lao Yezi. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang felt embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Laying eyes on Lao Yezi, Han Yang¡¯s originally slightly rxed nerves became a tad tense yet again. Before him was HeLian Qing¡¯s grandfather, a man who was once a top ranking leader in the business world. Compared to his own grandfather who sat in the yard and yed with children, this manpletely different. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang feltlong bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be ¡°Grandad.¡± HeLian Qing called out to the old man ying chess. Han Yang was unsure on how to address the man, moving his lips to call to HeLian Lao Yezi, he just followed after HeLian Qing then stood beside him. Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s. Soon, Han Yang feltlong bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Lao Yezi groaned an ¡®En¡¯ in response, still not lifting his head to look at them, gaze just as it was before set on his chessboard, contemting his next move.

Soon, Han Yang feltlong bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be While he sat making the tea, his waist and back were held straight, the sleeves of his shirt drew up slightly at his movements which were all natural and unforced, exuding an air of elegance and beauty. He then poured a cup of tea, handing it to Han Yang, who said thank you in return. Holding the cup in both hands, Han Yang gently took a sip, the warm liquid brought relief to his nerve-racked heart.

Soon, Han Yang feltlong bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Han Yang simply lowered his head and drank his tea, no longer uttering a word. HeLian Qing also stopped teasing him. .................... -iana- Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Within the study, three people sat with not a word exchanged between them. In such arge room the only sounds that could be heard, were the trickling of the poured tea, and the soft clicks of chess pieces against their board. After a while, Lao Yezi suddenly called, ¡°Wazi[child],e here and apany this Lao Touzi[Old man] for the next round.¡± Upon hearing his request, Han Yang unconsciously stood up, but he did not go over just yet.Bullcrap text for the robots. read story on website and you wont see this.There once lived a maiden, whose name rhymed with H|ana|. One day she had the thought of learning thenguage of which she knew |nada|. For hours then days to weeks she endured, studying for many months new characters which she really enjoyed. When she felt ready to give reading a |try|, with the first sentence she understood, her heart almost did |cry|. ¡°Why are you just standing there?¡± HeLian Qing asked when he noticed Han Yang just stood there, dumbfounded.She began withics then turned to the novels she did |love|, and just like those before her, she shared all the works |above|. If you are reading this, then putting this work here wasn¡¯t her |n|, so sadly I must tell you you will have to deal with this |spam|. ¡°Huh?¡± Han Yang softly eximed, lifting his head to look at HeLian Qing who was now standing beside him, then to Lao Yezi who still sat where he was. Could it be when he called for, Wazi, he was actually referring to HeLian Qing? HeLian Qing was very amused by his reaction, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re thinking such a silly address as, Wazi, was really intended for me?¡± To the ¡°Are you stupid or something¡± expression on his face, Han Yang turned a blind eye, then whispered, ¡°He¡¯s your grandfather, why wouldn¡¯t he be calling for you?¡±If you want to read uninterrupted then all you have to |do|, is google anameescans and I¡¯ll get to meet |you|. Who could¡¯ve known that the instant he finished those words, Lao Yezi would put down the chess piece onto the board with a ck, lifting his head,¡±How could you say that? Since you¡¯re together with HeLian Qing, why wouldn¡¯t I be your grandfather?¡± ¡°......¡± Han Yang stood awkwardly beside HeLian Qing, in that moment, he was unable to refute those words. HeLian Qing on the other hand, as one would expect, looked delighted by his helplessness. What is this? Your own grandson brings home a man, and says he wishes to marry him. Shouldn¡¯t he face strong opposition from his family? Even though the same-sex marriagew was passed, it¡¯s still new, and a good number of families are still not truly epting of it. After all, as a cock[rooster] he was unable toy eggs. Um, please forgive him for that self-description, the situation was proving to be beyond his abilities toprehend. ¡°Just get over there first.¡± Seeing him still staring off nkly, HeLian Qing just pulled him towards Lao Yezi and sat him down directly across from the old man, then said indifferently, ¡°Keep Grandadpany in the next chess game.¡± Han Yang sat stiffly in his seat, with neither his hands nor feet quite knowing where they should rest. Only after noting the gentle expression adorning Lao Yezi¡¯s face, was he able to finally rx, if only just a little. Perhaps this situation wasn¡¯t as bad as he thought, at least it was nothing like he had expected¨Chim being cursed then driven out. ¡°Do you know how to y?¡± Lao Yezi disrupted his original game then began separating the chess pieces. Seeing this, Han Yang quickly started sorting the pieces with him, politely replying, ¡°Yes, a little.¡± ¡°Rx a bit, I won¡¯t eat you. Just y a round with me.¡± Lao Yezi said. Suddenly, Han Yang recalled the times when he and his Grandpa also sat around ying chess. Simply thinking of that old man who loved him dearly made him, little by little, unable to help the joy-filled expression that arose on his face, allowing the restlessness within his heart to calm. If he just regarded the old man who now sat before him as just an ordinary old man, it¡¯d probably be okay. With this new way of thinking, he nodded, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Lao Yezi casually asked as he arranged the chess pieces. ¡°Han Yang.¡± Han Yang replied. Han Yang knew for certain Lao Yezi definitely wouldn¡¯t have not known his name beforehand. With a that kind of family, he guessed from the moment he and HeLian Qing¡¯s rtionship began, his entire past was thoroughly investigated and delivered to the old man. After the board was arranged, out of respect, Han Yang allowed Lao Yezi to go first, Lao Yezi on the other hand, gestured with a wave to let him make the first move instead. Han Yang respectfully epted and thus made the first move. One move after the other, the two yers carried on with their match as HeLian Qing sat beside them looking on, not uttering a peep. For almost half an hour, the match continued. At first, Lao Yezi made his moves carelessly, but soon he discovered his opponent wasn¡¯t one to be underestimated. After noticing the difference in Han Yang¡¯s gaze, his moves became increasingly more cautious.ana mee scans wordpress. The man smiled brightly as he stood up, his fingers fiddling with my drenched locks, Now you can answer it. In the final inning, Han Yang still lost though. Saying in a hushed tone, ¡°Lao Yezi, you were difficult to deal with.¡± [T/n: the word tranted as ¡°difficult to deal with¡± also means ¡°ferocious¡± and ¡°awesome¡±] Compared to the one he wore just a moment ago, Lao Yezi¡¯s expression transformed into a even more friendly one. In looking at Han Yang, he could also see the the surge of fondness and admiration thaty in the youth¡¯s eyes. This change was, after all, because of this youngster¡¯s ability to keep up with him for so long during a match, when only a handful of others had managed to do so. Han Yang¡¯s technique was seasoned, his reasoning¨Cmeticulous, skills that can only appear after a lot of training. Not to mention Han Yang¡¯s calm, without a trace of impatience, temperament was also very much to his liking. ¡°Your chess skills are pretty good. You nearly got me, giving me quite the run-around.¡± Lao Yezi said with admiration, ¡°How long have you been ying?¡±ana mee scans wordpress. The man smiled brightly as he stood up, his fingers fiddling with my drenched locks, Now you can answer it. Because of their match, Han Yang¡¯s manner towards Lao Yezi also was not as it was just moments ago¨Cunfamiliar and revered. He smiled, then modestly replied, ¡°Lao Yezi¡¯s words were too kind. My Grandpa is a chess fiend, so when I younger, I just followed after him and learned to y. But before someone like you, my skills cannot darepare.¡±ana mee scans wordpress. ticklish. Ah, NARCISISIM, take me there to broaden my horizons. Before, you always said if I went I¡¯d be thrown out because I wasn¡¯t eighteen yet.

It¡¯s used in a self deprecating manner so thest line is where Han Yang uses it. ] In his childhood years, he would often apany his grandfather who yed chess with the old men of their vige. Seeing that for so long, he naturally developed an interest in the game, so his Grandpa personally taught him for a many years. ¡°Lao Yezi, doesn¡¯t mind being called Lao Yezi by you but it does sound kind of awkward.¡± Lao Yezi took the cup of tea handed to him by HeLian Qing, drinking a sip, then to Han Yang said, ¡°So since you and Qing¡¯er are to be wed, you might as well start calling me Grandad too.¡± Qing¡¯er? [T/n: it¡¯smon to add, ¶ù: er , to the name of a younger family member. ] Han Yang, bewildered, involuntarily turned his head towards the man sitting beside him just to see the expressionless face donned by HeLian Qing, who sat there as if he wasn¡¯t being referred to by that name. With a touch of hesitance, Han Yang inquired, ¡°......Qing¡¯er?¡± ¡°......¡± The change in HeLian Qing¡¯s expression was obvious as he looked towards Han Yang sporting a resentful re, ¡°What stupid thing are you asking? Did ying a game of chess for so long give you courage?¡± ¡°That......Princess Qing?¡± Admittedly, Han Yang really was doing it on purpose. Before, with HeLian Qing¡¯s cheap mouth he could only choke back his words of annoyance but now, at this moment, it was like they had found their escape and it was just so refreshing. Especially when seeing HeLian Qing¡¯s ears appear unnaturally flushed due to his rage. Though, he must admit, he was a bit sceptical at that reaction, and wondered if that man could¡¯ve possibly instead been a tad bit embarrassed. [T/n: Princess Qing, aka Qing¡¯er, is a character from a famous tvseries, My Fair Princess. ] ¡°Don¡¯t take a mile when you¡¯re given a inch.¡± HeLian Qing said. Han Yang: I too just gave an inch to lose a mile.ana mee scans wordpress. ticklish. Ah, NARCISISIM, take me there to broaden my horizons.

The man smiled brightly as he stood up, his fingers fiddling with my drenched locks, Now you can answer it. Being well ustomed to HeLian Qing¡¯s taunts, this look of resentment from that man made him feel somewhat shocked.

Before, you always said if I went I¡¯d be thrown out because I wasn¡¯t eighteen yet. Acting thoughtless always leads to pay back. He thought, unable to prevent himself from nodded a bit. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± HeLian Qing asked. ¡°Nothing.¡± Han Yang responded, shaking his head. HeLian Qing didn¡¯t believe him, so much so, he was about to speak but Lao Yezi suddenly interjected, ¡°Come on, stop flirting in public.¡± HeLian Qing: ¡°......¡± Han Yang: ¡°......¡± The two, in unison, turned to face one another, staring. Han Yang suddenly couldn¡¯t anymore, his ears began to flush red. HeLian Qing remained silent, though the corners of his mouth did faintly curve upwards. Lao Yezi lowered his head, paying no attention to the peculiar actions of the two, arranging the chess board as he spoke, ¡°Qing¡¯er is a nickname. Originally we thought he¡¯d be born a girl so we chose the name HeLian Qing¡¯er. Who knew he would turn out to be a boy. We changed his name to HeLian Qingter and calling him Qing¡¯er just became his childhood name.¡± ¡°That¡¯s very nice to hear. In my hometown they also have the custom of giving childhood names to kids as well.¡± Han Yang smiled, ignoring the frosty air eminating from the one beside him. It was a rare chance to make HeLian Qing suffer a defeat, how could he let such a moment slip by in vain. ¡°Really?¡± HeLian Qing shot Han Yang a nce, neither cold nor warmly said, ¡°So why don¡¯t you tell us your childhood name, was it Guo Dan[dog eggs] perhaps?¡±ana mee scans wordpress. ticklish. Ah, NARCISISIM, take me there to broaden my horizons. Before, you always said if I went I¡¯d be thrown out because I wasn¡¯t eighteen yet. [T/n: Guo Dan is used as a nickname under the belief that if jealous spirits search for you to snatch away your life, having such a ridiculous name will make it look like you¡¯re not a person. Guo Dan also lit. means Dog Eggs. Dog is used as an insult sometimes and Egg is prominent in a lot of curses, eg. Íõ°Ëµ°: Wang Ba Dan: son of a tortoise, aka, Son of a b*tch.

Lao Yezi¡¯s attention rose away from his chess game, it was clear he was not very pleased with HeLian Qing¡¯s interruption, waved aside and said, ¡± You should go get some rest. Before when you were a kid, why didn¡¯t I realise how troublesome you are? You never had any time to y chess with me and now you want to your wife to do the same.¡± Han Yang picked up a chess piece but halted, unsure of whether or not he should as he suddenly felt that Lao Yezi getting some rest might not have been a bad idea. No more than a secondter he heard HeLian Qing say, ¡°Oh, then just don¡¯t rest, let him just keep ying chess with you.¡± Han Yang: ¡°......¡± ¡°Come on then, y another round of chess with me.¡± Lao Yezi said. ¡°Alright.¡± Han Yang nodded. Little by little, time passed by as the two people yed their game of chess. A servant even came up to announce it was already time for dinner, yet Lao Yezi still wished to continue ying. How did it go by so quickly? Han Yang was surprised as he never yed chess for such a long time, and never did he think that today he would be ying with HeLian Qing¡¯s grandfather from since earlier in that afternoon. Pretty soon the time was already six-thirty in the evening. ¡°Lao Touzi[Old man] I haven¡¯t enjoyed myself so much in such a long time. You really should go, get downstairs for dinner.¡± Lao Yezi stood up and left the room. [T/n: Lao Touzi is more casual, personal form of address here. Han Yang¡¯s speech became friendlier.] ¡°Han Yang and HeLian Qing left right after, with thetter mentioning, ¡°Your chess skills aren¡¯t that bad, huh.¡± His tone made it unclear whether his statement was one of praise, Han Yang simply stared at him, just as he continued speaking, ¡°Dropping by for a chess game, and your husband¡¯s presence slips your mind too. I¡¯m trying to decide whether or not I should give you a chess set, do you want go set up a stall on the street?¡± Han Yang: ¡°......¡± he really had forgotten all about HeLian Qing while visiting for a chess game.Tranted by -iana-,Each of their gazes met the other¡¯s.

Soon, Han Yang feltlong bangs, which often obstructed his vision, a long paper binder was taken from the printed data files he had to mp the stray embarrassed and was at a lost as to how exactly this situation came to be Han Yang was seriously unable to bear his ridicule. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of them, just that he did not know how he should face those elders while they were in front of him, discussing and consulting him, about the wedding since he did not wish to be married. That he, infact, wanted his own life, and no matter how friendly they were during this situation, they still were not his kin. His only rtive was back in that tiny vige, the old man he called, Grandpa. ......... Han Yang ced the two cases in front of HeLian Qing. The man¡¯s parents, and grandfather, of course, gave him those gifts. One, was a pair of Jade pendants, while the other, was a Patek Philippe wrist watch. [T/n: Patek Philippe watches are listed as some of the most expensive watches in the world. Starting a prices is around a few thousand USD, one of the priciest sold for ¡ê2.98 MILLION. ] Those were indeed expensive gifts. Not to mention, how many people desired such things, yet in his heart there was no sense of excitement, not even the tiniest sliver of joy. As HeLian Qing sat on the sofa, undoing his cufflinks, the younger man¡¯s current actions made him pause. Now standing before him, looking down at him, Han Yang¡¯s posture told him they were about to have a talk. ¡°I can¡¯t ept these gifts.¡± Han Yang stated softly. In that man¡¯s family, maybe things like that were insignificant, but for him it was just too valuable. HeLian Qing had no response for the words just said to him. He only wanted tough but didn¡¯t, so the corners of his mouth twitched, then rose, lifting and lowering his chin in favour of the other man continuing with his speech. ¡°I don¡¯t want an undeserved reward, these are too precious. If I took them it¡¯ll be inappropriate. Also......¡± Han Yang hesitated, ¡°Also, you said today that next week you¡¯re going to do the registration. Why didn¡¯t I get to know of this?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know about it now?¡± HeLian Qing arched his brow. ¡°But you should¡¯ve told me ahead of time and we could¡¯ve discussed it. Don¡¯t go unterally deciding these things all on your own......¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I?¡± HeLian Qing suddenly interrupted Han Yang¡¯s speech, slowly risi ng to his feet, then made his way towards Han Yang. His one hundred and ny metre physique brought with it the distinct feeling of oppression, his mein unlike how it was before was now rtively colder, ¡°You have quite a lot ofints, don¡¯t you.¡± [T/n: Òâ¼û: y¨¬ ji¨¤n, tranted asints also means idea or suggestion, but since it¡¯sing from Mr. Tsundere here, the meanest word seems the most fitting.] ¡°I was only......¡± Han Yang became a fraction more frantic after HeLian Qing¡¯s abrupt approach, he retreated by half a step. He wanted, at all costs, to maintain his calm demeanor but the tightening grip of his hands made it clear, he was quite nervous. HeLian Qing stretched out his hand, resting it atop the nervous boy¡¯s crown, his fingers ran themselves through those soft ck strands¨Cgently. The soft, tender caress seemed like one that came from a lover. But the words that apanied them, nevertheless, sounded cold, causing a feeling of apprehension, ¡°Han Yang.¡± That was the first time that man called his name. Those two characters of his name, were spat out from the man¡¯s thin lips, frigidly bringing with them a sentiment that would make anyone puzzled, yet it only made Han Yang¡¯s heart grow cold. ¡°Could it be that you think you can actually change how things are right now? Thest two weeks were so you could adjust to the drastic change, do you still fail to realise the situation you¡¯re now in?¡± HeLian Qing¡¯s lingering fingers held a few strands between them. ¡°But we don¡¯t have deep feelings for one another, do we? How are two people supposed to stay together for a lifetime without those kind of feelings? Don¡¯t you think that the way we¡¯ve been getting along so far is a problem?¡± Han Yang emotions were stirred as he voiced his retort. His hand rose to brush away the other¡¯s lingering fingers, only to have the limb caught instead. HeLian Qing¡¯s tight grip on wrist made it clear just how much slimmer his own were, as the man somewhat ruthlessly, said, ¡°So what of it? Why do you want me to say it over and over again? You don¡¯t have the power to oppose.¡± Han Yang, ¡°......¡± ¡°The two were locked in a stalemate. Af ter a while, Han Yangughed out at himself until his smile fell, then whispered, ¡°......I understand.¡± Yes, from the beginning, ever since he signed that contract with HeLian Qing he did not have the right to discuss conditions. It was just, he did not sufficiently realize that was the reality of the situation. Those two weeks HeLian Qing conceded to amodate him, made him believe there could still be room for discussion. Seeing the clear dispondent look reflected within Han Yang¡¯s eyes, and that obstinate mouth of his crinkle, HeLian Qing lips twitched to say something, but Han Yang instead broke free of his grasp, leaving one sentence behind him, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a bath.¡± then left the room. HeLian Qing¡¯s stared at his own palm, uttered a groan before heading to his study. After HeLian Qing was done with his business, he returned to the room where he found Han Yang already fast asleep. When he finished with his shower he came out to find Han Yang still in the same position as he was before,ying on his side at the edge of the bed, facing the window. If I push him with my finger, he¡¯ll probably fall. HeLian Qing thought. Lightly, Heid on the bed, thinking of wanting to pull Han Yang closer to himself, but at the same time, he did not want to wake him. After thinking it over a few times he ultimately chose to move closer to the sleeping man, fastening his own arm around the other¡¯s waist. His motion was very light, so the sleeping Han Yang did not show a trace of awareness. 1 With Han Yang¡¯s back stuck to his stomach, this kind of posture made it look as if he was embracing Han Yang within his bosom. That sort of posture also allowed him to attain a small amount of relief from the bad mood he was currently feeling. Seeing Han Yang¡¯s face, HeLian Qing muttered, ¡°Right now, being like this isn¡¯t so bad, is it? So troublesome.¡± Watching him for while, HeLian Qing waspletely satisfied embracing this man, and soon fell asleep. ............................................. T/n: remember folks he is an EXTREME Tsundere.(and a bit of a Donkey :/) Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The next day, Han Yang found himself within HeLian Qing¡¯s embrace. He could feel therger man¡¯s expired breath against his nape, the warm exhtion slightly tickled as it struck his skin, making his body stiffen while a rosy tint stained his ears. Too close...... This kind of distance was too scary¡ªtoo dangerous. Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] Still rigid, Han Yang waited for about a minute to make sure HeLian Qing had not yet awakened. Carefully, he took the encircling arm from his waist, then stealthily snuck off the bed. Next, for a while, he closely observed the man who stillid resting on the bed. Certain that said man had not been roused by his movements, a relieved sigh left his lips before he exited the bedroom to wash up. Absent-minded, he closed the door behind him and thus that manying on the bed, opened his eyes. HeLian Qing propped himself up, leaning against the headboard as he sat on the bed, waiting for Han Yang to finish washing his face then return. He was curious as to what sort of reaction the smaller man would have afterst night¡¯s incident, whether it would be the same dead-fish-face the boy wore the day before and if so, then...... He would just try coaxing him. Kids are just so difficult to please. Scoffing, then raking his fingers through his hair, HeLian Qing reached for his phone beside him, opening up a webpage to browse through the news. For about five minutes he sat there, waiting, yet Han Yang still had not returned. No longer interested in reading the news, he got off the bed in search of the younger man. However in that house, apart from him, there was no sign of the other person at all. There were drops of water sprinkled on top of the sink, proving Han Yang had indeed just used it, but it seemed like he had already left. Could he have worn his pajamas to ss? Or...... He thought at once. It looked as if he suddenly recalled something so he headed towards the guest room. Just as he had expected, he saw Han Yang¡¯s small suitcase sitting in there on the floor. Since it was, that on the very day the small suitcase¡¯s owner moved in, HeLian Qing had also left for his business trip only to return just the day before yesterday. He simply did not take heed of where the boy¡¯s thing¡¯s were ced, or if the youth had spent those past two weeks sleeping in the guest bedroom. Contemting the matter made his face darken. It was his belief he and that boy were together, therefore the master bedroom rightly belonged to both of them. He just assumed the younger man would return to their room to change his clothes, and had never considered such an idea was all simply his own wishful thinking. During those two weeks, Han Yang had kept his stuff just as they were when he first arrived, neatly packed within his suitcase, as if at any moment he was ready to leave. With his gaze fixed on the grey suitcase beside his feet, HeLian Qing¡¯s lips pursed together just a little, with the look on his face not faring any better. ¡°Ah-choo¡ª¡ª¡± At that exact moment, riding on a bus, Han Yang sneezed, rubbing the goosebumps on his arms as he felt his back burst out in a chill. Could it be HeLian Qing? ......This feels like a bad omen. Han Yang quietly thought. Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] When he returned to the apartmentter that day, contrary to his expectations, HeLian Qing had said nothing. The man had even gone to bed earlier than him. From then on, the interactions between the two maintained such a state of unease. At daytime it was tolerable, as one man went to work, while the other went to ss, greatly reducing their chances of meeting one another. The crux of the matter therefore, was at nighttime. What surprised Han Yang was HeLian Qing return for dinner¡ªevery single night. Despite the unspoken agreement between them to preserve the silence during their meals, what few conversations they did have were quite pitiful. Han Yang soon found himself wondering whether the other man was truly upset, but due to the man¡¯s consistent return each day for supper, it did not seem as if he was, which made Han Yang quite confused. Things continued in such a manner until the Friday that followed, when Han Yang had gone out to dinner with his former roommates. Even though Han Yang possessed the type of personality that was rtively indifferent, the time he had spent living in the dormitory with his roommates was actually pretty good. Being as studious as he was, whenever there was an uing exam he had helped out his fellow bunkmates a lot, therefore none of them would have wished to part with him. Additionally, because of his childhood spent growing up in a vige, he was well-ustomed to doing household chores and so most of the time, he took the lead in maintaining the dorm¡¯s cleanliness. A good student, a fondness towards cleaning, and innate charm, it was only natural that after witnessing him do so much the others became a bit embarrassed and thus joined him in doing the chores too. After two years in that college, their room¡¯s hygiene became the ideal model of a boy¡¯s dorm room. When he moved out of the dorm, everyone was unprepared for it, they did not even have enough time to all meet up properly. So the aforementioned Friday was the most convenient, as they all had free time to get together for a decent meal. During his afternoon ss Han Yang took out his phone, his eyes stuck on the screen as he was lost in his thoughts, trying to figure out how he would tell HeLian Qing he could not return for dinner. Considering how awkward the current situation between them was, he had no clue how to even begin exining if he called the man, so he simply sent him a message instead. The group decided to have their dinner at a hot-pot restaurant. The eatery was located right beside the school, its ambiance as well as its food were both pretty good, since he had visited that ce before several times with everyone when he lived in the dormitory. It was certain a few of therger guys would eat a lot of meat as everyone ced their orders, Han Yang on the other hand, was preupied with staring at his phone. One of his roommates who sat beside him used his elbow to nudge him then asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is everything alright?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Han Yang replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine, you guys can just order.¡± ¡°Hey, you should eat more meat, just look at those little chicken legs of yours, they¡¯re smaller than that guy¡¯s arm.¡± Shezhang jested as he handed Han Yang a menu. [T/n: É᳤: sh¨¨ zh¨£ng: dorm leader/elder.] ¡°That¡¯s right, don¡¯t say your big bros never took care of you.¡± ¡°Come on hurry up, order whatever you want to eat.¡± Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] With everyone encouraging him to order, Han Yang epted their wishes, ordering himself a couple dishes. Afterpleting his order, he once again, turned his attention towards his phone. He noticed from since he sent HeLian Qing the message until now, more than four hours had passed, and he had still not received a reply. He¡¯s probably still mad. Han Yang thought. To HeLian Qing, perhaps he looked like someone who did not appreciate favours. Considering how well off the HeLian family were, and how many people wanted to but could not climb up the socialdder, yet here he was, unable to tell chalk from cheese [1], what kind of person would not get angry! While he ate, Han Yang¡ªonce again¡ªcould not help but think about HeLian Qing. Not only was that man ill-tempered, he was also quite picky with his food. Today without him there to prepare his meals, he did not know what that picky one would end up eating. ¡°A-Yang, what¡¯re you thinking about? Is it your order?¡± Shezhang, seeing him a bit dazed, asked. Realising once more his mind was wondering, Han Yang promptly responded, ¡°I¡¯m alright, I was just thinking about something, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Han Yang¡¯s buddy to the left of him instantly became interested, ¡°Normally we don¡¯t see you like this, and today we got to see it twice? If I had to guess, it¡¯s definitely not about studying. You study so well that you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± ¡°Is it possible that...... it¡¯s about a love interest?¡± Shezhang asked. [T/n: ¶ÔÏó: du¨¬ xi¨¤ng: means partner/boyfriend/girlfriend. It¡¯s not gender specific.] ¡°No......¡± ¡°This is great!¡± A guy pped the table, ¡°You should find the time to to take that girl of yours out for a meal, alright!¡± ¡°Absolutely, sister-inw must definitely be a dazzling beauty, who¡¯s soft and gentle!¡±[2] ¡°Come,e on everyone! In celebration of our A-Yang¡¯s passions being ignited [3], let¡¯s have a toast.¡± ¡°Hurry, fill them up!¡± ¡°Raise your sses!¡± Han Yang wanted to rify, but no one gave him a chance as they all began conversing [4] while the wine was poured, raising their sses to toast. When all their sses clinked, within Han Yang¡¯s mind an image of HeLian Qing¡¯s face shed before his eyes. A dazzling beauty, he wouldn¡¯t go to such an extent to describe him, but that man was definitely handsome. As far as being soft and gentle though, that was just impossible, that man¡¯s mouth could poison a corpse. And as for falling in love...... With HeLian Qing? Impossible! Han Yang trembled all of a sudden just by having his mind filled with the possibility of HeLian Qing¡¯s venomous lips dering anything close to those words. It¡¯s was more likely for him to say ¡°Falling in love? You? Are you soft in the head [5]?¡± or something simr. Thinking of it like that, Han Yang suddenly felt a bit ridiculous and that stifling feeling he had since he arrived suddenly dissapated. Well, no matter what happens next, first I¡¯ll eat then say what needs to be saidter. ......... HeLian Qing was utterly unaware of Han Yang¡¯s ns. For the entire day he had chaired a meeting and as soon everything waspleted he had already hurriedly left work. Him leaving work in such a sh showed how much he wanted to get back home to eat the meal his wife prepared. Thinking about that ce, he took out his house keys cheerfully. On his way up to their t, he could not help but wonder what sort of dish Han Yang would be making that night. Although they had both spent thest week not saying much to each other, when they ate together however, it felt quite good. Even though Han Yang¡¯s culinary skills could not bepared to his family¡¯s chef, generally speaking, the boy¡¯s dishes did leave one very satisfied overall. HeLian Qing darted into the apartment, but he did not see Han Yang in the kitchen as he usually was. The younger man¡¯s timing was very urate, so normally at this time he would already be preparing to cook, HeLian Qing always returned just as he was about to serve the meal. However at this moment the living room was vacant, the kitchen waspletely clean, and the countertop did not have any dishes, neither fruits, nor even a drop of water. HeLian Qing then remembered, when he came, he did not see that boy¡¯s shoes by the doorway either. He then went into the bedroom, where he saw there was also no one there. Han Yang did not return and on his phone there were not any missed calls or messages. For a while, the expression on HeLian Qing¡¯s face was indecipherable. After hastily getting off work, hurrying back to have a meal, his mood abruptly deted like a balloon. Soon after, within his throat the anger fermented, and at any given moment would probably erupt. His finger paused over Han Yang¡¯s name on the screen, hovering there for a while, before immediately sliding open¡ª A name was dialed. After agreeing to meet at that ce, he walked out the door. .................................................

Half an hour earlier, that brooding guy had called him only stating the name of the bar, causing him to wolf down his dinner then rush over to him. That guy¡¯s way of, doing things as he pleased, really made him quite troublesome to deal with. Seeing HeLian Qing already had two empty bottles beside him, he went over, blocking the path of the drink the man held in his hand. Lifting his eyes, HeLian Qing saw the one who came beside him was Xu Luozhao, so he waved to call the bartender with the intention of getting the newly arrived man a ss, ¡°Sit.¡± Xu Luozhao sat down beside him, took a sip of his drink, propped up his chin with his hand then towards HeLian Qing jokingly said, ¡°Qing¡¯er, what happened?

When the grumpy one called him, Xu Luozhao was just about to have his dinner. He guessed the grouchy man probably had not eaten as yet, so he got the barkeep to prepare a few dishes for him to snack on, before proceeding to question him some more, ¡°Seriously, what happened? What got you so worried that you need to drink just to chase it away?¡± HeLian Qing stopped drinking, then next said, ¡°Why are you bbering on so much?¡± Xu Luozhao chuckled, replying, ¡°I¡¯m just concerned about you, alright. Oh, by the way, I heard Shou Yanjin say you found that kid you fell in love with. He even said you¡¯re nning to register your marriage to him. Tsk, tsk.

They were rivals turn lovers.] ¡°Screw you, you jerk! You really know how the stab where it¡¯ll hurt. No wonder your family and that kid can¡¯t stand you. You deserve to be here all alone drinking your sorrows away.¡± Xu Luozhao rolled his eyes, ced his hand atop HeLian Qing¡¯s head, wondering whether he should pat or smack that bad-tempered and difficult guy. HeLian Qing, ¡°Oh, shut up.¡± Xu Luozhao did shut up, but only for a little while, then he had to ask, ¡°What about that kid? Why didn¡¯t you give us a chance to get to know him?¡± ¡°Why is it any of your business?¡± HeLian Qing stated. ¡°None of my business? You¡¯re the one who called me all the way out here tonight!¡± Xu Luozhao huffed, ¡°Anyway... I actually wanted to meet up with you. You know, you can¡¯t hide out here in the bar forever, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m okay with it.¡± HeLian Qing, persisted[1]. [T/n: this line ¡°I¡¯m okay with it¡± lit. trantes to ¡°I¡¯m happy to¡± it was changed for context but keep the lit. version in mind as you read on.] Xu Luozhao rolled his eyes, the bartender soon came, bringing a few snacks along, then ced them before HeLian Qing, ¡°You should eat something first.¡± HeLian Qing oblidged to the other man¡¯s request, taking a few bites regardless of whether or not it was to his liking, then once more, returned to the drink in his hand. Xu Luozhao clicked his tongue in frustration, but was still unwilling to give up so he asked, ¡°You¡¯re still trying find an escape at the bottom of that ss, huh. Come on, talk to me. What¡¯s going on with you and that kid? You don¡¯t seriously want to get married, right?

For a while, HeLian Qing continued with his silence, then just as he had before, said those four little words, ¡°I¡¯m okay with it.¡± ¡°......¡± Xu Luozhao was at a loss for words, ¡°You, are an arrogant and willful man [2]. You just keep on being happy, alright.¡± ............ When HeLian Qing returned to his apartment, it was well past eleven. The room was dark and he didn¡¯t know whether Han Yang had returned, or if the kid had already gone to bed. Turning on the living room light, HeLian Qing entered the bedroom, it was still as it was before, with not a soul in sight. Han Yang had note back. HeLian Qing guessed that he must¡¯ve been back at the school since that boy never wanted to live there to begin with. Fishing his phone out from his pocket¨Cstaring at it¡ªHeLian Qing hesitated a few times before finally deciding to throw the device on the bed, without making the call. Today, I¡¯ll let you off. HeLian Qing¡¯s face was emotionless as he thought, but tomorrow you definitely won¡¯t be. After being satisfied with his decision, the man took off his clothes, then left the room for a shower. Done with his bath, he once again stared down at the device on his bed, there was still no news. ¡°You little bastard.¡± HeLian Qing cursed, leaving the room to get some water to drink. He had drank too much alcohol earlier so now his mouth was quite dry. In order for him to get to the kitchen, he had to pass by the guest bedroom. As he walked by, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt momentarily, before he backed up a couple of steps while his eyes fell upon the room¡¯s door. That barrier was now half-opened, but HeLian Qing clearly remembered prior to his departure earlier he had closed that very door. Only Han Yang and himself had the keys for that apartment and Han Yang¡¯s things were in that guest bedroom, so it was bing clear the missingd had returned that day and perhaps he was even in that room. With that thought, HeLian Qing did not hesitate for a second before he pushed the door open. In that room the light was not turned on, it¡¯s insides were illuminated only by the brightnessing from beyond it¡¯s window. HeLian Qing saw Han Yangying on his side, with his body slightly bent. Laying eyes on the sleeping boy instantly made HeLian Qing happy. This joy bubbled up inside of him so quickly, it made his lips curve upwards, just a wee bit. But just as quickly, his expression soon fell. He suddenly felt it was quite necessary for him and the boy to have a proper chat. He needed to make the youth understand that returning to have dinner with his husband was a must, in order to prevent that kid from growing more undisciplined. With such a thought in mind, he hurriedly made his way over. Now standing at the foot of the bed, he called, ¡°Han Yang.¡± Han Yang did not respond, he just continued toy there in his slightly hunched position. Is he really asleep? HeLian Qing¡¯s brows drew themselves into a tiny crease, not at all intending to wake that kid up. Walking to the bedside, stooping down, he nned on carrying the one, who was still in deep slumber, back with him to his bedroom. When his hand made contact with the the boy, he discovered something was not quite right. He¡¯s burning up, plus there¡¯s a lot of sweat. Reaching over to turn on themp beside him, the rising brightness which washed over the room revealed a sight that burnt itself into that man¡¯s mind. Han Yang¡¯s fetal-like posture, his tightly sealed eyes, his lips clenched by his teeth until they turned a little pale, along with the hair resting on his forehead already bingden with sweat. Both of his arms encircled his stomach, it was clear that held ce was ovee with pain. HeLian Qing, seeing this change in hisplexion, right away patted the boy to wake him, ¡°Han Yang?¡± Han Yang, hearing HeLian Qing¡¯s voice, gently cracked opened his eyes, his orbs were a bit teary and reddened. Having the man in his sights, his lips parted to speak, ¡°HeLian Qing...... you¡¯re back......¡± his words remained unfinished as his stomach churned, bubbling with an overwhelming feeling of nausea. He pushed aside HeLian Qing with the strong urge to leave the bed, but unexpectedly, as his foot made contact with the floor, he stumbled¡ªalmost falling. The ill boy¡¯s hands had no strength. HeLian Qing, who just fell back a step to steady his own frame, saw the falling boy and right away reached out to catch him, pulling him into his embrace, his brows knitted in concern as he asked, ¡°Where are you going? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?¡± Han Yang leant against Helian Qing to stand up, trying the hold down the nauseous feeling rising within him was quickly bing unbearable, ¡°......bathroom.¡± Hearing what he said, HeLian Qing stooped down to take him into his arms and carried him into the washroom, putting him down as soon as they arrived. Han Yang immediately leaned over the sink, vomiting. He had one hand supporting him as it gripped the edge of the sink, the other was pressed against his stomach, while from his throat all that was emmitted was the sound of retching. HeLian Qing stood beside him, using his hand to support the sick boy¡¯s back. His brows locked together tightly, the scene before him fully exposing his worry. Han Yang threw up many times until his stomach no longer had anything inside. So along with still retching, he was forced to spit up small amounts of bile. After his upheaval came to an end, he held the edge of the sink to prop himself up, swallowing deep breaths. From his stomach came an audible, sharp pain which made his entire body lose it¡¯s strength, even his face grew frighteningly pale. For a seemingly slow two seconds, he was then trying to grasp a cup of water to rinse his mouth. Helian Qing picked up the ss, giving it to him. ¡°Thank you,¡± Han Yang replied, sloshing the liquid in his mouth repeatedly before spitting it out. HeLian Qing pulled a towel from nearby to help him wipe his lips. He then asked, ¡°Do you feel a little better? I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± As soon as he was done asking, he scooped the smaller man into his arms, then left. ¡°Wait!¡± Han Yang called out to stop him. ¡°Even at a time like this your still troublesome, why are you so difficult?¡± HeLian Qing¡¯s steps persisted. ¡°No, it¡¯s......¡± Han Yang hesitated a bit, ¡°You¡¯re...... not wearing any clothes.¡± HeLian Qing, ¡°......¡± Normally, when HeLian Qing went to bed, all he wore were a pair of briefs and nothing more. A few days ago, out of the fear of scaring off Hand Yang, he had forced himself to wear a pair of pajama bottoms while he slept. Earlier, because he believed Han Yang to have not returned home, after his shower had only worn a pair of briefs. So now at this moment, apart from his underwear, he waspletely bare. He was so absorbed in his worry he hadpletely forgotten about it. If it was not for Han Yang¡¯s reminder, he would have gone out like that. ¡ª¡ª-HELIAN GROUP¡¯S PRESIDENT CAUGHT RUNNING AROUND WITH ANOTHER MAN IN HIS EMBRACE, IS IT TRUE LOVE OR JUST A PUBLICITY STUNT Merely thinking of tomorrow¡¯s possible news headlines made his face darken. He ced Han Yang on the living room¡¯s sofa, ¡°Wait for me, just bear it for a while.¡± Then he left for the bedroom for a change of clothes the second he finished talking. Seeing the man¡¯s retreating back, Han Yang wanted tough, but a sudden jolt of pain shot through him, causing him to curl into a ball instead. HeLian Qing got dressed in a flurry. He simply grabbed a random shirt and a pair of pants, then rushed out the room, took Han Yang into his arms once more before heading out the door. On their way down from the apartment, Han Yangcking strength, leant against Helian Qing¡¯s chest. One surge of pain after another, made him faintly out of breath, so all he could do was clutch onto HeLian¡¯s jacket with one hand while leaving the other pressed against his belly. ¡°Just bear with it for a little while, we¡¯re heading to the hospital right away.¡± HeLian Qing¡¯s voice echoed within the elevator, no longer sounding as cold as it did during the day. Even though the constant pain and nausea he experienced made his whole body weak, as well as making his current state of mind not so good, he was still able to sense the urgency mixed with worry carried in HeLian Qing¡¯s voice, in addition to how tightly the man held him in his arms. So warm. Able to just barely open his eyes, Han Yang from his point of view, could only see HeLian Qing¡¯s profile. That man¡¯s face still looked as indifferent as it always was, but now, his tightly knitted brows betrayed his so-called outward calm. If I don¡¯t think too much about his words, HeLian Qing might actually kinda care about me, huh! Han Yang absentmindedly thought right before he drifted off. For the first time, of his own ord, he snuggled into HeLian Qing¡¯s embrace. It seemed like the warmth he found in that ce would be able to lessen his pain slightly, or a least he hoped that it would. ........................................................

I was scared he got Han Yang lojacked. ?????? I love how it turned out this way instead (not him getting so sick though, poor baby) Chapter 9 Chapter 9 It was not the first time Han Yang had ridden in HeLian Qing¡¯s car, but it his first time noticing the man¡¯s affinity towards sports cars. The car they were riding in drove extremely fast, so much so, that as heid halfway down on the front passenger seat, he could not help but randomly think about being flung from his seat because of the swift speed they were going at. Tranted by -[iana]-, Parts of this can only be read on :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] However, it was obvious that random thought urring was unlikely. Though their speed was quite fast, due to the good quality of the vehicle, he could barely feel any fluctuations as heid down. Han Yang never knew the hospital was so close to the apartment. He was not quite sure, but guessed it must have taken at least ten minutes before he was again lifted into HeLian Qing¡¯s embrace as they entered the building. There, the doctor asked a few questions, did an examination, then said he was suffering from acute gastroenteritis and although it was not a very severe case of the illness, the pain would unfortunately be a lot to bear. The physician then proceeded to write a prescription for the medicine Han Yang needed, after which he prompted a nurse to start an IV for thed. He then had HeLian Qing follow him to his office in order to fill out a medical record for the ill boy. [T/n: IV ¨C intravenous therapy] ¡°Does the patient have any allergies to medication?¡± The doctor asked. ¡°No.¡± HeLian Qing answered. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t need to go ask him?¡± The doctor stopped writing, raising his gaze towards the man. ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± HeLian Qing stated, his expression remaining unchanged. Taking the medical record with him when he left the doctor¡¯s office, his eyes swept over the chart as he snorted. I know more about that kid than he himself knows. HeLian Qing did not go directly to the pharmacy, but instead first went back to Han Yang¡¯s room to check up on him. Thed was in the same curled position he had before with one hand clutching his stomach but now the other had a IV-line attached, while his face was still drenched in that same pallid hue. HeLian Qing made his way over to him, from the small box atop the cab by the bedside, he took out a couple of tissues, then began wiping the perspiration that formed on the boy¡¯s forehead. Feeling his movements, Han Yang¡¯s eyes soon opened. ¡°Does it feel a little better?¡± the man asked, using his finger to push aside the other¡¯s sweat soaked bangs, inwardly hoping he was able to feel even the smallest amount of relief. Unfortunately, the medicine was given not that long ago so for the time being there was not that much of a difference, but Han Yang nevertheless nodded, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°En.[Okay]¡± HeLian Qing sat down on the stool beside him. Han Yang still had two-thirds of the liquid in the IV bag left and given that, the man was in no hurry to go get the prescription filled, nor was he anxious to leave just yet. Afterwards, Han Yang still tried to vomit two separate times, inside his stomach had be absolutely deserted to the point where even stomach acid would note out. So now, every time he retched, he felt as if there were countless hands all squeezing his gut and that feeling was extremely difficult for him to endure. HeLian Qing knew the boy was still suffering from the pain, sadly, he also knew there was nothing much he could do about it. He could only give him sips of water to drink, so even if he did vomit again, he could at the very least feel a just a tad better. Fortunately, the attached IV also contained some painkillers and after a while Han Yang¡¯s pain was slowly alleviated, even if it was only by a small degree. Although hisplexion still had that terribly pale tinge, his expression in contrast, became more gentle as his features rxed. At this moment, HeLian Qing¡¯s heart finally settled. He reached over to the cab, putting the used cup aside then once again pulled out a couple of paper towels, assisting Han Yang by dabbing away the sweat which formed on his ears and neck. Feeling how tenderly the perspiration from his face was being wiped away by the man¡¯s hand was incredibly hard for him to believe. He was so astounded that he had not even realised, presently on his face, was the first smile he had directed towards HeLian Qing since they became acquainted with one another. He then, to the silent man before his eyes, said, ¡°I feel much better now, thank you.¡± When the wordless man¡¯s gaze finally caught sight of that smile, that hand of his upied with cleaning away those wet droplets came to a very sudden halt. The used tissue he held was tossed into the trash bin beside his feet, after which he then reached for the nket spread over the boy, pulled it up, simply replying, ¡°Why are you always talking so much nonsense? I¡¯m heading out to go get your medicine, so behave yourself and don¡¯t move. If you need anything, just press the buzzer next to you. ¡°With that statement, he didn¡¯t wait for Han Yang¡¯s reply, just doing an about-turn then left the ward. Han Yang stared on at the withdrawing figure, not exactly understanding the reason behind it, before a sudden softugh escaped him. Thankfully, the pharmacy was not that far away from the hospital, it was located just right next door, therefore HeLian Qing got back to the room very quickly. Upon his return he immediately lowered his hand, resting it on Han Yang¡¯s forehead to check his temperature, noticing it was no longer as scalding hot as it was before as well as his once tightly crinkled face seeming slightly more at ease. Seeing this, he gave the younger man some water, then got him to swallow the medicine. Noticing Han Yang staring at him, he asked, ¡°Do you still want to vomit?¡± To which the boy replied by simply shaking his head in denial. HeLian Qing nodded before reaching to pull up the nket again. This time even the hand attached to the IV drip was covered, ¡°Then just go to sleep.¡± ¡°What about you?¡±, Han Yang asked. HeLian Qing, with a twinge of impatience responded, ¡°Listen you, just lie down and get some sleep. Since when do kids talk so much? I¡¯m not going anywhere. I¡¯ll just stay here to wipe your sweat and give you water.¡± Han Yang, ¡°......¡± Recalling how he was just a while ago throwing up in the waste basket, Han Yang¡¯s face was suddenly overtaken with a ssh of red. He shrunk under the cover of the nket, stopping when theforter was at his chin. Softly, he hummed in agreement to the man¡¯s request then proceeded to close his eyes. Having tossed and turned until midnight, Han Yang was indeed quite tired and very sleepy. It was not easy for him to getfortable but once he did, he nodded off to sleep quite quickly. Just as he said, HeLian Qing did not go anywhere. He simply sat on the chair beside the boy¡¯s bed keeping close watch. Han Yang still had two more bags of IV left, so he needed to observe them and be ready to call in a nurse to switch them once one was finished. ¡°Buzz¡ª¡ª¡± His cellphone vibrated in his pocket suddenly. Disyed on it¡¯s screen was a new message. Currently, it was the wee hours of the morning, almost two o¡¯clock. HeLian Qing wondered who would possibly be sending a message thatte, as he unlocked the screen to see the following two words: ¡°Han Yang¡±. [[Today I¡¯ll be going to a group dinner with some ssmates so I can¡¯t make it back in time for dinner since I¡¯ll probably return a bitte. There¡¯s still leftovers from lunch in the fridge, you can just reheat it to eat ]] That message was sent to him at two in the afternoon and it exined why Han Yang did not return for dinner. He could not of fathomed the inte would somehow dy his receipt of the message until this very moment. HeLian Qing slowly read the message a couple times more before putting the phone away, his eyes then turned towards Han Yang¡¯s face. A good while had passed since the younger man had been fast asleep. His face was now halfway concealed under the covers with only the bridge of his nose, as well as that bright and clean forehead of his, exposed. HeLian Qing stood up, reached for Han Yang¡¯s quilt, dragging it down just a little, ¡°Not too worried about suffocating, are you?¡± Still standing beside the bed, he gently touched Han Yang¡¯s face. Thed¡¯s skin was very smooth, HeLian Qing¡¯s hand¡ªfor a while¡ªlingered on that ce before taking hold of the buzzer, pressing it to call in a nurse to change out the IV bag. The middle of the night. Because of the intravenous drip, Han Yang woke up in the middle of the night wanting to use the toilet. His eyes opened to see by his bedside, leaning back in a chair and sound asleep, none other than HeLian Qing. The man was especially tall. As he sat in slumber, one of his legs was bent whilst the other stretched out straight, both his armsy folded across his chest and his head tilted downwards, so all Han Yang could see on his face was the bridge of his nose. When HeLian Qing had rushed to the hospital with Han Yang in tow, he had only dressed himself casually. The hem of his shirt was left untucked, his hair was not as neatlybed as it usually was, and he still wore his house slippers on his feet. Compared to his usual self, this image was like the difference between the heavens and the earth. The night was also a little chilly, seeing the man there by his beside watching over him, aplex blob of emotions stirred within his heart [1]. His IV line had been removed and even though his stomach still felt slightly ufortable, it was more bearable than it had been. Han Yang then remembered before he had fallen asleep, he still had two bags of medicine left. Given the slow rate at which the drops we¡¯re administered, he deduced HeLian Qing must have been keeping watch for at least two hours, perhaps even longer. Given the two had only known each other for a brief amount of time, within Han Yang¡¯s heart, Helian Qing¡¯s temperament was not that great, his mouth was even more so, with that venomous tongue of his that could strike a person dead. Yetst night, that man more than anyone else, made him feel at ease. His tongue was still as deadly, of course, but that man looking after him made it clear he cared. Gazing at the sleeping HeLian Qing, he suddenly became confused, not understanding at all exactly why this man was being so good to him. After being lost in thought for a moment, Han Yang lifted off the covers with the intention of getting down from the bed then head to the bathroom. Sadly, he discovered he had no shoes on. What made things even better was HeLian Qing, who sat directly facing him, woke up abruptly leaving two people and their four eyes, all staring at one another. Noticing Han Yang¡¯s movements, Helian Qing stood in front of him, eyebrows wrinkling, ¡°Where are you going? Is your illness still making you ufortable?¡± Lifting his head to look at the man wearing the slightly displeased expression, Han Yang replied, ¡°......I need to use the restroom.¡± ¡°Do you feel sick? I¡¯ll go call the doctor.¡± HeLian Qing thought he wanted to vomit so he turned, leaving to go get the physician. He was in such a hurry he even forgot about the buzzer at the bedside. Han Yang grabbed hold of him, ¡°Wait a second.¡± HeLian Qing turned, staring at him. Han Yang awkwardly exined, ¡°You don¡¯t need to call the doctor, I just......need to use the toilet.¡± It was likely that the image of Han Yang vomiting earlier that night affected him so deeply he had to reconfirm, ¡°It¡¯s doesn¡¯t have anything to do with you being sick, right? You just have to use the toilet, yeah?¡± Han Yang never expected, that normally cold and arrogant man would use such an earnest expression while asking him about this matter, therefore he could only nod shyly, ¡°Can I borrow your shoes for a little bit? Due the urgency with which they had left, Han Yang had not worn any shoes. HeLian Qing¡¯s gaze drifted down to Han Yang¡¯s naked feet¡ªstalling¡ªuntil the boy awkwardly withdrew them. Just as usual, huh? Helian Qing sat close to Han Yang, removing his own slippers before he gave them to the boy. ¡°Thank you.¡± Han Yang wore the slippers then left for the bathroom. ¡°Would you like me to carry you there?¡± HeLian Qing asked from behind. ¡°......¡± Remembering the image of HeLian Qing carrying him down from the apartment made Han Yang¡¯s ears flush scarlet. He simply said, he was okay, before scurrying off to the toilet. HeLian Qing¡¯s mood was now quite good. He fell back onto the bed, stretching out his limbs. .........................

Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Tranted by -[iana]-, anameescans[DOT]wordpress[DOT In the bathroom, Han Yang washed his face in the sink. He had tossed and turned for so long earlier in night, all the sweat on his body had now dried, leaving him feeling rather oily[dirty]. Smearing the clear liquid over his face onest time, he shook his hands dry, opened the door and left thevatory.

It turned out that man had had a new pair shoes but neglected to tell him, making it so the he had to borrow the one¡¯s the man wore since other than the man himself, there was no one else there. Noticing Han Yang had not yet reached for the cup being handed to him, HeLian Qing picked up the smaller man¡¯s hands himself and ced the filled vessel within them, all the while sneering, ¡°Is it your stomach that¡¯s hurt or your hands? Do you want me to feed you too?¡± ¡°No.¡± Han Yang shook his head. HeLian Qing groaned, thinking to himself ¡®If you really wanted me to feed you, I would¡¯ve shown you some mercy.¡¯ But now he had no chance to show this mercy of his. Meanwhile, Han Yang became aware of something of his own, the realisation that since earlier that night, he seemed to have built up a higher tolerance towards HeLian Qing¡¯s sharp tongue. As he held on to the cup and brought it to his lips, he caught a glimpse of the older man¡¯s foot pushing the trash bin beside the bed, then stepping on the pedal to open up the lid, saying, ¡°Rinse your mouth out first.¡± Having vomited quite a few times earlier, thed did feel his mouth was indeed tinged with a bitter taste. Amazed by HeLian Qing¡¯s attentiveness, he did as instructed, using the warm water to wash out his mouth which unsurprisingly, left him feeling much better afterwards. The used cup in his hand, containing the left over liquid, was soon taken away by HeLian Qing, who made his way to the bathroom to dispose of the remnants. Next, the man switched the old cup for a new one, filled it with water then handed it to the boy again, ¡°Drink some.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Han Yang epted the ss and took a drink. The warm water flowing into his stomach, made him more at ease. ¡°I¡¯m going out to get you some congee. If anything happens, just push the button by the bedside.¡± The man announced just as he started for the door. He had not gotten very far before Han Yang quickly caught hold of him, ¡°You don¡¯t have to trouble yourself, I¡¯m not even hungry.¡± [T/n: Congee is a simple rice porridge.] HeLian Qing turned his head to look at the boy, his gaze then dropped to the his own arm where the boy held, ¡°Let go.¡± Han Yang immediately released his grip. HeLian Qing simply said ¡°Behave and wait¡± right before exited the room. Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] Following his departure, Han Yang checked the time to discover it was already past four in the morning. ¡°Where is he going to buy congee at this hour......¡± Han Yang thought aloud. A dose of fatigue struck him, causing him toy back on the bed, and tug the nket up over his legs. During his wait for HeLian Qing to return, a nurse had stopped by during one of her rounds. Seeing the boy was awake she asked him how how he was faring. ¡°Oh, where is that gentleman who was keeping youpany earlier? Did he leave?¡± The nurse asked. ¡°He went out to buy something.¡± Han Yang replied, knowing she was referring to HeLian Qing. Thinking for a while, he then asked, ¡°Excuse me, do you know if there are any shops that sell congee around here?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a twenty-four hour congee shop not too far from this hospital.¡± The nurse exined, then continued, ¡°So he left to go buy you some porridge, huh? That¡¯ll definitely be good for you to eat when you take your medication. By the way I have to say, he treats you very well. He kept an eye on you for most of the night. When I did my rounds earlier I even saw him wiping away your sweat a few times, just so you know.¡± Soon after the nurse left, Han Yang againid back on the bed¨Cdumbfounded. He had known that man was beside him from the very beginning, but hearing those things from someone else felt entirely different, but what specifically felt different about it, he could not say for sure. When HeLian Qing finally came back he saw the boy staring nkly out the window, he was at aplete loss as to what thed could have been thinking of at that time, but once his own arrival was noticed, the boy soon snapped back to reality. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Han Yang saw him carrying some items in his hand, so he lifted his covers with the intention of giving the man a hand. ¡°Sit still.¡± HeLian Qing said to stop him. He then walked over, ced the bought congee on the cab beside the bed then ced the bed-tray on the mattress, arranging the congee and it¡¯s side dishes on the tray for the younger man. ¡°Thank you.¡± Han Yang said. ¡°You don¡¯t need to. I was hungry myself.¡± HeLian Qing mentioned while he carried his own container of *pork-bone congee, sitting beside to eat. ¡°......¡± Would a little honesty kill you? Han Yang¡¯s in congee was watery and definitely perfect to drink given his current state. HeLian Qing had also asked for some light side dishes of pickled radishes along with boiled pak-choi, diced very finely so they would be easier to digest. Did he especially make the congee diner do this? Han Yang thought as he stealthily peeped at the other man, not at all expecting to be caught red-handed. ¡°What are you looking at? Eat your porridge.¡± HeLian Qing chided, eating a bite of his own congee, ¡°This one isn¡¯t your share.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat yours.¡± Han Yang murmured before he bowed his head and drank his congee. ¡°Tsk.¡± HeLian Qing clicked his tongue, ¡°Fine, next time I¡¯ll take you to go eat something else so stop showing me that downtrodden expression of yours.¡± ¡°......I never said that.¡± Han Yang said those words, however the corners of his lips unconsciously lifted. Despite the empty state Han Yang¡¯s stomach was in, he was still unable to eat much due to his present condition. After finishing off a good amount of the gruel, HeLian Qing cleared away the used containers¨Ctossing them into the trash, before going to pour Han Yang a ss of water so he could take his medication. Not too long after the younger man had taken his pills, HeLian Qing urged him to get some rest and thed, being quite tired himself,id down then reached for the nket to pull all the way up. Standing beside him, HeLian Qing assisted the boy by tucking him under the covers properly, then¨Cjust as before¨Ctook a seat on the nearby chair. Han Yang looked on as the man skillfully pressed his fingers between his brows on a face marred with faint traces of exhaustion. With such a sight before him, a twinge of guilt forming within his heart was inevitable. With his gaze locked on the other man, Han Yang wanted to say something but he did not know where to start. The few attempts he had made to speak up were noticed by HeLian Qing, who thought his behaviour was rather odd so he said, ¡°If you still can¡¯t fall asleep, what¡¯s staring at your husband going to do?¡± Han Yang, ¡°......¡± Frozen for a moment, Han Yang soon became aware of the subtle rise of heat within his ears. He then quietly drew his gaze away from the man before, little by little, burying his face under his covers. HeLian Qing shamelessness was simply much more than he could bear. Seeing the boy flushed with embarrassment by his words, HeLian Qing¡¯s mood became very good. His long legs extended, kicking the foot of the bed, ¡°Hurry up and sleep. If you don¡¯t sleep, I can¡¯t sleep.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Han Yang responded, shutting his eyes soon after. A few minutes passed by, Han Yang still up, couldn¡¯t help but part his lips to say, ¡°HeLian Qing.¡± ¡°What now?!¡± The man responded rather harshly after noting the boy was still awake. ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡± Han Yang inquired with much hesitation since unlike the warmth experienced during the daytime, nightfall brought with it a drop in temperature and the man beside him had only worn a very thin shirt after all. As soon as he heard what the boy had asked, HeLian Qing did not utter a word, just simply rising to his feet before walking towards the boy¡¯s bedside, lowering his gaze while he quietly looked upon the younger fellow. With his sight set directly on HeLian Qing, a cold shiver was sent down Han Yang¡¯s back thinking he must have done something wrong. Just then he heard the man say, ¡°Oh, are you cold? I¡¯ll help you warm up then, alright.¡± Without even waiting for Han Yang¡¯s reply, the moment he finished speaking¨C he lifted off the covers, shed his shoes and climbed onto the bed. Huh? What¡¯s with this rapid plot development [1]?! Han Yang was stupified. But contrary to expectations, HeLian Qing was quite calm as heid down embracing him from behind, with both their heads now squeezed onto one pillow. ¡°You......¡± he wanted to continue but HeLian Qing interrupted him, ¡°Be good and go to sleep.¡± Thinking of how HeLian Qing watching over him for most of the night and was also really tired, Han Yang said nothing more. Anyway, it was not the first time they would be sleeping together, so heplied with the request. Furthermore, he was himself quite worn out, so not long passed before his mind soon lost its consciousness and his eyes gradually sealed themselves as he fell asleep. HeLian Qing soon followed him, but not before first drawing the boy¡¯s back into his close embrace. The following day, Han Yang already felt heaps better. His next doctor¡¯s exam had nothing other than questions and a few things to pay attention to after he was discharged. HeLian Qing had bought them both some toiletries which they used to wash up while they were still at the hospital prior to their leaving. Afterwards, he drove Han Yang to the congee diner, where he had bought their earlier meal, to have breakfast. Parked, Han Yang undid his seat belt, but before he was able to get out the car, HeLian Qing had already left his seat on the other side, came to over to his own to help him open the car door, even having a hand outstretched to support him. ¡°I¡¯m alright.¡± Han Yang did not know whether tough or cry as that man¡¯s doings seem to be beyond any cure[2]. ¡°Oh.¡± HeLian Qing shrugged his shoulders, then helped him close the car door, before he led Han Yang into the congee diner. Han Yang followed him, not fully understanding if it was something about his current mentality that made him not struggle to be released from HeLian Qing¡¯s grasp. The congee diner¡¯s ambiance was pretty good, the two soon found a ce to sit. Han Yang could only eat in rice congee with some simple side dishes at this time but HeLian Qing on the other hand, had ordered steamed dumplings stuffed with shrimps, along with egg pancakes as sides to his own chicken congee. His orderpared to the boy¡¯s was as different as the sky was to the earth. A sweet fragrance emanating from the steamed buns and pancakes mixed itself into the air surrounding Han Yang, arousing him, making him unable to help himself from lifting his head to sneak a few peeks, as well as, feeling that the in congee in his mouth was actually extremely dull and tasteless. ¡°Want some of this?¡± HeLian Qing asked him. Han Yang nodded honestly, seeing that, HeLian Qing smiled wickedly, teasing, ¡°You can only look though, I don¡¯t want to end up watching over you for the entire night again.¡± Han Yang, ¡°......¡± Could that tongue of yours be any sharper, Princess Qing. Han Yang thought. ¡°So, what did you eat yesterday?¡± HeLian Qing questioned. ¡°I had eaten a hotpot with my ssmates.¡± Han Yang replied. He himself had guessed the hotpot must have been the cause of his issues. ¡°Tsk.¡± HeLian Qing frowned, ¡°In the future don¡¯t go out and eat at those messy ces [3].¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Han Yang nodded. ¡°When it hurts that much don¡¯t you know you¡¯re supposed to go to the hospital? Are you an idiot?¡± HeLian Qing asked. ¡°......No.¡± On that night, Han Yang had originally thought he could bear the pain, he had believed if he just endured, it would have eventually passed. But it had gotten to where he could not hold on anymore, so he phoned the hospital and not too long after that, HeLian Qing had appeared. ¡°Next time something happens just give me a call.¡± HeLian Qing stated, pausing, before he added, ¡°I only got the message you sent yesterday not too long ago.¡± Huh? Han Yang looked at him in shock. Was this HeLian Qing¡¯s way of exining it to him? Was this his exnation as to why he never replied the day before, rather than being about him not receiving the message to begin with? ¡°What are you looking at? Eat your own.¡± HeLian Qing said, pushing the dish on table a bit awkwardly. ¡°Uh, okay.¡± Han Yang lowered his head and drank some of his porridge, the corners of his mouth tugging into a smile. After they ate breakfast, they returned to the apartment sometime around ten in the morning. Luckily, it was the weekend so Han Yang could just stay at home and rest. HeLian Qing however, was not that carefree since today at hispany there was a very important client arriving in L-City that he must apany. HeLian Qing had a shower, tidied up and was just about to head out before he told Han Yang, ¡°At noon I¡¯ll have someonee over to deliver your lunch. If anything happens give me a call, so just rx and don¡¯t move about.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Han Yang answered while internal muttering, I¡¯m not a child. HeLian Qing then paused, not moving an inch, Han Yang asked, ¡°Is there something else?¡± ¡°Just behave and stay put.¡± Suddenly, HeLian Qing reached out, tussled Han Yang¡¯s hair, then picked up his coat and left. Thanks to this single action by that man, Han Yang was left dumbstruck as he stared off nkly in the direction where HeLian Qing left. A good while passed before he was able to react and say a proper word but his hand only lifted to touch the ce HeLian Qing had rubbed, as he just blinked.

The one contacting him was HeLian Qing, who then informed him that his lunch had already arrived at the entrance, and for him to open the door to ept it. Han Yang hung up the phone, immediately heading to the entryway. There, just as expected, he saw someone waiting with a small box of food in their hand. However, the clothes that person wore did not appear to be the ones worn by a delivery worker but rather those of an office worker. ¡°Hello, are you Mr. Han Yang? I¡¯m Xiao Chen. The Boss told me to deliver this meal to you. ¡°The other guy informed Han Yang courteously. [T/n: Boss was originally in English.] ¡°I am.¡± Han Yang took the small box of food, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for troubling you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to be, I¡¯ll leave first then.¡± Xiao Chen left right after he finished speaking. After he descended from the apartment building, Xiao Chen called HeLian Qing to report thepletion of his mission. When the call ended, he looked back to gaze at the towering building behind him and thought, It turns out there¡¯s already a Mrs. Boss! Mrs. Boss is a man! He looks so small!!! Han Yang was unaware of Xiao Chen¡¯s thoughts so he had simply taken the food back into the house. Having opened the box, he discovered there were quite a few side dishes inside besides the congee. Each of those sides were kept in separate thermal containers to keep them warm, so upon him opening them, they would still be steaming hot. At the sight of his lunch spread out atop the dining room table, Han Yang, for the very first time, was overtaken by an urge to call HeLian Qing. He suddenly really wanted to hear that man¡¯s voice. Just as a bit of hesitation held him, a phone rang beside him, on it¡¯s screen was the disy of just three little characters ¡ª-He Lian Qing. Han Yang softly whispered that name, before he answered the call, saying, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Have you eaten?¡± The man¡¯s voice flowed from the other end of the line, apanied by the sound of rustling papers.¡± ¡°I¡¯m about to.¡± Han Yang replied, ¡°What about you, are you still working?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t work how am I going to support you?¡± HeLian Qing said, responding to the boy¡¯s question with his own. ¡°......You don¡¯t need to raise me, I¡¯m a grown up too.¡± Han Yang exined. ¡°Really?¡± HeLian Qing paused momentarily, ¡°So are you ming me for noting to fetch you earlier and bring you back with me as a child-bride?¡± ¡°How could that be possible?¡± Han Yang was now convinced of that man¡¯s ability to distort his meanings. ¡°What are you pointlessly fretting over? Even though I didn¡¯t get to look after you as you grew up, I promise I¡¯ll take care of you, always.¡± HeLian Qing said in reply. ¡°......You really are too much.¡± Though Han Yang responded that way, the corners of his lips did lift themselves ever so slightly. ¡°Alright, dinner will be delivered too, okay. I still have some business to take care of so I¡¯m hanging up.¡± HeLian Qing exined just as he was about to end the call. ¡°Hold on!¡± Han Yang quickly called out to stop him. ¡°What is it?¡± HeLian Qing asked. ¡°......Order yourself something to eat earlier too... goodbye.¡±Han Yang uttered before rushing to hang up the phone. At the end of the line, HeLian Qing released a gentle hum. His eyes had within them an almost imperceptible smile, not minding at all that Han Yang had cut off the call before him. Xu Luozhao, who had apanied him to the meeting with their client and was currently right beside him, grabbed his own arms then looked at the man and said, ¡°Your whole body reeks of lovesickness and it¡¯s giving me the willies.¡± In response, HeLian Qing¡¯s eyes swept over to the other man, his orbs having in them just four words written in bold ¡°NOT YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS¡±. At that, Xu Luozhao simply shrugged his shoulders. If this Princess Qing were to ever lose his love I¡¯d bet you¡¯d find him knocking back a few rounds of drinks, and until that ¡°Scummy Seme[1]¡± reconciles with his love, he¡¯d just burn all bridges behind him[2] to show his disdain. Later that evening HeLian Qing returned home, bringing with him two sets of dinner to in hand. Just as it was at lunch, he had again gotten Han Yang the same order from the restaurant, located somewhere nearby. Han Yang knew of the establishment and remembered how popr it was since on the night he had once gone there, he was unable to find a seat. Therefore, HeLian Qing must have reserved their order beforehand then just picked it up on his way home. When they ate dinner, the two sat face-to-face, so Han Yang was unable to stop his thoughts from drifting to the events of the previous night. It was true he and the man were not that familiar with one another. As well as their interactions, from the their first meeting till now, being ones that were far from harmonious. But other than the disagreement they had on the day he met the man¡¯s parents, they have not gotten into any other spats. Even though, following that first argument, they did spend the uing week getting along as if they were only strangers who lived together. HeLian Qing had always given him the impression of being someone hard to get close to, along with, being a person whose manner of speaking was extremely harsh. Yet, that person who ordinarily said unpleasant sounding words and whose temper made getting along with him quite difficult, had spent the entirety of the preceding night watching over him in that hospital room. That same man had considerately gave him water, went out in the middle of the night to buy him porridge, and ¡ª just for him ¡ª even prepared shoes and towels. All of those act had now overthrown everything he hade to know of HeLian Qing. All of it made him curious as to why this man favoured by the gods[3], would want to marry him. Even to go as far as to using a contract to bind them into their current rtionship despite his own desires. He really could not see through that man¡¯s reasoning. ¡°Tap, tap......¡± Slender fingers drummed against the desktop twice, interrupting the younger man¡¯s contemtion. ¡°What are you thinking about now?¡± HeLiang Qing enquired. ¡°Why do you want to marry me?¡± Han Yang blurted. From the instant he asked the question, Han Yang had already began preparing himself to be ridiculed yet again, but what he did not expect was for the man to nonchntly continue eating his meal, simply saying three little words, ¡°I¡¯d like to.[4]¡± He was truly worthy of the title Master HeLian[5], or to put it quite bluntly, worthy of having no friends. No longer wishing to think of such things, Han Yang bowed his head and are his meal. When he finished eating, out of habit, he collected the dishes but was soon stopped by HeLian Qing, ¡°Allow me.¡± ¡°?¡± Han Yang stared at him in amazement. ¡°What¡¯re you staring at?¡± HeLian Qing asked as he picked up both of their used bowls, cups and chopsticks to carry into the kitchen. Han Yang, unable to fathom what was going on, followed the man from behind. Since they were stic, the takeout containers could not be ced in the dishwasher. HeLian Qing simply tossed them into the garbage bin, only cing the cups and chopsticks used by he and Han Yang into the sink and began washing them himself. Standing in the doorway, Han Yang gaze focused on the man cleaning the wares. His motions revealed theirck of practice, and his use of the dish soap even led to the cup within his hand slipping and falling into the water from his grasp. With a darkened face, he did again take hold of the dish, then once more continued on with his scrubbing. That undeniably ill-tempered man, who can easily be regarded as the worst kind of men, was now standing in the kitchen; his white sleeves rolled up till his elbows; his slender fingers originally bound to the tasks of printing his signature and thumbing through documents, at present were instead sping a dishcloth and rubbing against a dish. From the previous night till now, only one day had passed, so it left Han Yang feeling such a transformation was simply too much. Thed had never expected that formerly unyeilding man to possess such a gentle side, and despite his manner of speaking being as vicious as it was, the concern shown within his eyes were beyond his ability to conceal. As the boy thought it over carefully, he noticed in spite of the reality of the two having a contractual rtionship from the very start, the man had never prevented him from doing anything. As well as, the fact that since he began living in the apartment to this present moment, the man had not forced anything in him. He had still retained most of his freedom. Han Yang suddenly realised, the situation was not as bad as he had thought, and being together with HeLian Qing was not going be too difficult to ept after all. ¡°HeLian Qing.¡± Han Yang called out to him. HeLian Qing stopped scrubbing the dish, turning his head to look at the younger man. ¡°I want to ask......¡± Han Yang paused, ¡°Before, you said you wanted to go the Department of Civil Affairs so......¡± ¡°What lousy suggestion do you want trouble me with now?[6]¡± HeLian Qing interrupted him, wearing a facial expression with the words ¡°YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU LIKE BUT I¡¯M NOT GOING TO ACCEPT¡± capitalised. ¡°......¡± Han Yang was speechless. ¡°I only wanted to ask what day you¡¯re going so I can ask my teacher for a leave of absence.¡± Han Yang borated. The recent programming project he was working on was rmended by his teacher so it was necessary for him to maintain daily contact with his supervisor. HeLian Qing did not expect him to ask that, and so for a second he was stunned before responding, ¡°Oh... well since you¡¯re so anxious, Monday would be good.¡± Han Yang: ¡°......¡± Who¡¯s anxious! This guy¡¯s mouth is really too much! ¡°Did you mail the Certificate of Residence?¡± HeLian Qing asked him. ¡°I Mailed it.¡± Before HeLian Qing left on his business trip he had told him to do so, and although thed did not wish for it at that time, he did not disobey. ¡°Still quite obedient, huh?¡± HeLian Qing gave him a nce. ¡°......¡± After dinner, Han Yang and HeLian Qing each hurried to the bath. Han Yang had left for the guest washroom. HeLian Qing expressionlessly stared at the smaller man until he shut the bathroom door, then afterwards entered the guest bedroom himself. Following his exit from the bath Han Yang, out of habit, went into the guest bedroom. Once inside, he soon discovered his suitcase was gone. Puzzled for a short while, he then promptly made an about turn, heading straight to the master bedroom. There, he saw his suitcase resting beside the wardrobe. Han Yang, ¡°......¡± The sound of falling water could be heard trickling out from within the master bath as HeLian Qing was obviously still in the middle of his shower. Confused about whether he shouldugh or cry, Han Yang opened the door of the armoire to see, just as he had expected, all his clothes stacked on the shelves. He did not even have to wonder, knowing full well it was that man doings from just a moment ago. ¡°Seriously......¡± Han Yang did not know what to say, so he simply picked up a hanger and began organising the clothes that needed to be hung up. HeLian Qing, finally finished with his bath, came out to see Han Yang standing in front the wardrobe tidying up the clothes, the shirt currently held in his hand looking quite familiar. HeLian Qing¡¯s eyes widened when he realised the shirt was his own. This man lived alone. Normally at thepany his lunch was reserved by his secretary, while dinner was taken care of at random. On the weekends, if he did not return to his family¡¯s home, he would just order take out. Hisundry was sent off to the drycleaners, and after they were returned he would simply stuff them into the cupboard right away, not in the mood to organise them. After all, he did have many suits, enough to manage a suit a day and any changes in between, it was all just utter chaos. For some time his gaze was fixed on thed while he stood facing the cupboard helping him tidy up his clothes. How was he to describe the feeling within him? It just finally seemed like they were people who were living together. This feeling is extremely satisfying. HeLian Qing thought to himself.Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] Picking up another shirt by its cor, Han Yang again straightened the item out and hung it back in the cupboard. Turning around, he saw HeLian Qing looking towards him, seeing the man sights locked on him so intently, he subconsciously began to exin, ¡°I saw your clothes were a little disorganised so I tidied them up a bit.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± HeLian Qing walked over, standing at the shorter man¡¯s back, his hand then stretched to open the cupboard¡¯s door. Slowly, he leaned his body forward to survey inside the armoire, the entire action all seeming as if it were an inspection. With such a posture the man was so close to Han Yang, it made the boy feel as if the man was stuck to his back. The leaning man¡¯s body still carried the warm vapours from his shower, which made Han Yang¡¯s back stiffen, as he stood there motionless. HeLian Qing wore an earnest expression as he took a good look for half a minute, just to then slowly say, ¡°That¡¯s okay, I finally understand a bit about what it means.¡± Han Yang not understanding the statement, asked, ¡°What?¡± HeLian Qing in response softly replied, ¡°The care of a wife.[7]¡± Han Yang, ¡°......¡± ¡°Can you excuse me.¡± Han Yang requested. ¡°Oh.¡± HeLian Qing looked as if he just remembered where he was, withdrew his hand and retreated by a couple steps before straightening his form. After he left, Han Yang breathed out a sigh of relief, then pulled the door of the wardrobe close and turned around just to be left awestruck once more. This time it was all because HeLian Qing had only worn a pair of briefs thus leaving his sturdy chest bare ¡ª naked, andpletelycking any cover to appear before his eyes. Han Yang remained stunned for three whole seconds before he turned around to avert his gaze, at thepletion of his action he heard HeLian Qing say, ¡°You sure you don¡¯t want to have another look, you touched it quite a few timesst night.¡± Last night was a reference to when HeLian Qing embraced him. Han Yang unable to respond, chose to act as an ostrich. Turning, heading to the other side of the bed and sat down. HeLian Qing grabbed a pair of pajama bottoms and while he put them on he asked, ¡°Did you take your medicine?¡± Han Yang, ¡°I took it.¡± Finished dressing into his pajamas, with the upper part of his body left bare, HeLian Qing looked towards at Han Yang, ¡°Then just go to bed.¡± Han Yang was yet again in a daze, ¡°Huh?¡± HeLian Qing noticing the boy¡¯s bewilderment, arched his brow, and said, ¡°What¡¯s ruminating in that head of yours? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t make a move on you. Wait until after your body[health] gets better.¡± Han Yang, ¡°......¡± When he slept, HeLian Qing one handedly drew Han Yang by the waist, half embracing him as heid down and it caused Han Yang movements to be awkward, so suggested, ¡°Is it possible for you to not hold me all the time?¡± In reply the man just tightened his hold, ¡°You have quite a lot of suggestions, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just not used to it.¡± Han Yang exined. ¡°Oh.¡± HeLian Qing countered, ¡°I¡¯m very used to it.¡± The implication here being: I¡¯m the Da-ye[Boss], I have the final say. Han Yang wanted to say something, but right before he could, HeLian Qing added, ¡°I¡¯m really sleepy now, so just behave yourself and don¡¯t bother me.¡± Listening to what he said, Han Yang recalled the other night where the man had spent its entirety taking care of him, and today he had also gone to receive a corporate partner, given all these, he surely must have been very tired. So with that being the case thed obediently shut up,id still and allowed the man to embrace him. Realizing he behaved, HeLian Qing, now satisfied, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was indeed quite spent. It wasn¡¯t long before, Han Yang heard steady breaths beside his ears, he guessed HeLian Qing had fallen asleep. Very gently he turned his head, to see that the man¡¯s eyes were truly closed and his ordinarily cold, rigid expression had softened. The arm around his waist still held him tightly, the impression it gave was quite powerful. Han Yang, although not ustomed to the sensation, also could not say he disliked it, as instead it gave an indescribably warm feeling. Calmly peering at HeLian Qing for a few seconds, Han Yang silently mouthed the words, Goodnight. .................................

Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Monday morning, bright and early, Han Yang had a scheduled ss. Therefore the two men had made their registration appointment at the Department of Civil Affairs for the afternoon. Finished with their breakfast, HeLian Qing ferried Han Yang to his school and upon their arrival reminded to thed, ¡°Remember to not eat anything cold or spicy.¡± Read More¡±Actually, I am not that serious.¡± Han Wei said that it was just an ident.7 ¡°Is it? Who is so painful that it is full of bed and roll, do you have to stay with me to sleep?¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°...¡± Who wants you to sleep with me! Han Hao helped the amount and said, ¡°I know, you go to work.¡±¡±Well, wait for me to have dinner together at noon.¡± He Lianqing said after he left and left.

Still curious.Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but think that in the morning, He Lianqing said that he would wait for him to eat at noon. Is heing over at noon?¡±Han Han, what do you want?¡± said a buddy in the dormitory. p ¡°Nothing.¡± Han Yu returned to God and found that he was distracted again. Since he was with He Lianqing, the extent of his distraction has greatly increased.¡±You have been old-fashioned recently, and it¡¯s not so addictive to fall in love?¡± The buddy joked. ¡°Remember to take your brother and sister out for a meal next time.¡± Han Xiao smiled and did not speak, put his eyes back on the stage. At noon, He Lianqing came over to Han Han to eat. Considering Han Han¡¯s stomach, he specially found a Cantonese restaurant. During the meal, Han Yu talked about today¡¯s speech and asked He Lianqing: ¡°Do yourpany ept this type of invitation?¡± ¡°Yes, the public rtions department is responsible.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°Then yourpany epts internships for recent graduates?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡°Do you want to be an intern?¡± He Lianqing looked up at him. ¡°I will ask casually,¡± Han said. In fact, he used to have such an idea. Many people like the Helian Group wanted to squeeze in. He is no exception. But now that He Lianqing has be such a rtionship, he is a bit hesitant, and He Lianqing¡¯s mouth is so poisonous that he will definitely not let him go. Sure enough, the next second he heard He Lianqing said: ¡°Do not say it in your mouth, but your heart is terrible?¡± ¡°...¡± Han Yu looked at him silently. Can this sentence be used like this? b ¡°I heard that yourpany is very strict in recruiting people and generally does not ept recent graduates.¡± Han Wei asked.¡±Not at all.¡± He Lianqing looked at him and looked at how you behaved. Han Wei looked at him for a few seconds and bowed his head to continue eating. He Lianqing couldn¡¯t wait for him to say good things, and he mmed his hand on the table and said: ¡°I still want to work?¡± ¡°Think.¡± Han Yu said sincerely. ¡°Well?¡± He Lianqing lifted his chin. ¡°But the threshold of Helian Group is too high, I still learn from a smallpany.¡± Han Wei said. I couldn¡¯t get a sigh of clear sighs and continued to eat. Han Hao smiled down with a low head and a mouthless voice, and did not follow your wishes. ¡°Hey! Sunny!¡± There was a call from Han Yu, and the words of Qing Er were drawn. Han Han took a look and looked up at Helian Qing, who was opposite, and saw him with a ck face behind him. In addition to going to Helianqing for the first time, this is the first time I heard someone shouting He Lianqing as a child, and it is still such a public asion, he is very curious who is so bold! !Xu Luozhao came up from behind and took a picture of He Lianqing¡¯s shoulder: ¡°I used to drink alcohol in the first two days. How can I have a mood to eat today? Not calling me! Not too interesting!¡± Seeing his hand, Xu Luozhao let go, and looking back at Han Han, suddenly realized: ¡°Bring your child out to eat? Hello, I am Xu Luozhao.¡± Han Han stunned the phrase ¡°Bring your child out to eat¡± and heard him say hello to himself, stood up and nodded: ¡°Hello, I am Han Wei.¡± ¡°Oh ~¡± Xu Luozhao nodded, ¡°Long-awaited name.¡± ¡°?¡± Han Yu is not clear, so where does hee from? ¡°Sit down and eat, don¡¯t care about him.¡± He Lianqing said to Han. ¡°Right right, sit down first, let¡¯s eat together.¡± Xu Luozhao came to the ground and wanted to sit down in the chair next to Han Han. ¡°Where are you going?¡± He Lianqing asked lightly, his eyes staring at his hand. Xu Luozhao¡¯s chair¡¯s hand paused and raised his hand like a surrender and said, ¡°Well, I am sitting with you.¡± He said that he was going to get to He Lianqing and was ready to sit with him, but just walked past He Lianqing. I took the chair next to me and said that I didn¡¯t wee him. ¡°...¡± Xu Luozhao was speechless. ¡°I just want to have a meal together.¡± ¡°Refused.¡± He Lianqing said with a nk expression.Han Han couldn¡¯t help butughed softly, seeing both of them watching him and listening to him. ¡°OK.¡± Xu Luozhao said, ¡°I don¡¯t bother you to fall in love today, lest anyone ask me to borrow alcohol.¡± ¡°If you say enough, you will roll it.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°Then I am leaving!¡± Xu Luozhao shrugged. After Xu Luozhao left, He Lianqing looked at Han Wei and said, ¡°What are you blushing? When is the skin so thin?¡± When I heard Xu Luozhao say that the two men fell in love, Han Wei was a little too embarrassed, but when he heard that He Lianqing said that he was strange, this person said that he usually has a thick face. However, from the perspective of Xu Luozhao, the other party knows his existence and knows his rtionship with He Lianqing. Doesn¡¯t it mean that the family of He Lianqing knows that even his friends know it? Thinking of this, Han Han can¡¯t help but look at He Lianqing with doubts. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Does your friend know about our rtionship?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡°What is our rtionship?¡± asked He Lianqing. Han Yu was silent, and He Lianqing shed a faint sarcasm in his eyes. He took the water next to him and just drunk, he heard Han Hao said: ¡°Family rtionship.¡± ¡°Hey!¡± He Lianqing was picked up by this sentence, almost did not spray the water out, busy licking his mouth and coughing. Han Hao quickly handed him a paper towel, and He Lianqing looked at him angrily: ¡°Can you talk...¡± His words suddenly stunned when he saw the smile of Han Han¡¯s eyes, and there was a short-lived loss.This is the time when the two people got along. He Lianqing saw Han Han¡¯s expression for the first time, and his eyes were full of obvious smiles, which made his heart soft. For the first time, Han Yu took He Lianqing to Lishui, and she had some wonderful sense of aplishment. Seeing him staring straight at himself, Han Geng made a cry: ¡°Qing Er,¡±. ¡°What are you screaming?!¡± He Lianqing angered. Han Xiao smiled and stuffed the paper towel into his hand: ¡°You wipe your mouth and get the water.¡± Finished pointing the fingertips. He Lianqing snorted, rubbed the water on his lips with a paper towel, and thought that next time you would use other things to help me wipe. In the afternoon, only two of the couples registered in the Civil Affairs Bureau were male. After Han Han entered, they were not very embarrassed. They always felt that everyone was watching them. He Lianqing is still a unique look, who is casting his eyes. All are innocent. After paying the handling fee, the two will fill out the form on the side. When Han Han wrote his name, he suddenly thought of the scene when the two met for the first time. At that time, He Lianqing and the current He Lianqing gave him apletely different feeling. I don¡¯t know why, my heart is like the feeling of being separated. He looked up at He Lianqing next to him and found that he was looking down to fill in the information. He wrote very quickly and the font was very beautiful. Will you have to live with this person for a lifetime? How can I say to my grandfather, will he object? Han Han thought so, the action that was filled in stopped. In fact, when I thought of He Lianqing at the time of the hospital, it seemed to feel good. ¡°Do you have ate stage?¡± In the ear, He Lianqing¡¯s voice sounded, and Han Han returned to see him as a pair of ¡°ill-going early treatment¡± expression. Do you really have to live with this poison tongue for a lifetime? Suddenly, my heart was so tired that the hospital¡¯s gentleness was not enough for He Lianqing¡¯s mouth to squander.Han Hao¡¯s heart was brushed by white eyes at this time. Afterpleting the form, the staff member took the oath of the two-person hall and there was a vow to the neer there. ¡°It¡¯s stupid,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°Would you like to take an oath?¡± Han Yu asked. Thest two did not take an oath and went directly to the ce where they took pictures. In the words of He Lianqing, it is: Some things are used, and it is useless. Han Wei feels quite right, sworn to be useful, and there are not so many divorced couples in society. ¡°Get closer, get closer.¡± The camera crew said to the two with a camera. He Lianqing stood indifferently, Han Han had no way to stand by him in the past, and then he was stretched out by He Lianqing. As soon as he looked up, he saw the words ¡°to send and hold¡± in the face of He Lianqing.Han Wei: ¡°...¡± When he got the little red book from the staff, Han Han¡¯s heart was both nervous and relieved. This is really married, and He Lianqing. Han Wei looked at Xiao Hongben. ¡°Go, go home and see.¡± He Lianqing took his own pocket and took Han Han away. When I went out, Han Hao heard a small discussion from behind. ¡°God, that is He Lianqing, the president of Helian Group? I saw him in the magazine!¡± ¡°Really! I am not mistaken. He is here to register for marriage? Who is the boy next to him?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t youe to get married, is it a divorce? Another single man will die!¡± ¡°The president of Helen is more handsome than the one on the photo. The boys around him are also handsome! Can you take pictures? This is a burst!¡± ¡°It¡¯s best not to shoot. The reporter who took thest photo was finally unable to mix in the magazine!¡± After hearing these words, Han Yu couldn¡¯t help but look dry. He pulled the sleeves of Lach Lianqing and said softly: ¡°Everyone is discussing us...¡± He Lianqing looked at his hand holding his sleeve and looked at him: ¡°What about it? Is it a shame to marry me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mean this, just...¡± Han Yu coughed down. ¡°I don¡¯t feel used to it.¡± ¡°I want to let them shut up?¡± asked He Lianqing.¡±Forget it, don¡¯t go in when youe out.¡± Han Wei said, go back and estimate that the limelight is bigger. After getting on the bus, He Lianqing started the car and left, Han Han sat in the co-pilot with a small red book. The photos of the two men staring at the marriage certificate felt particrly unreal. He and He Lianqing really got married, but at this time his heart did not resist. People¡¯s Republic of China marriage certificate Licensee: Han Wei. so amazing! Han Yu thought. Just as he could see God, the next side of He Lianqing reached out and took the little red book in his hand. Han Han looked up at him. He Lianqing frowned at the photo above, obviously not very satisfied: ¡°It¡¯s ugly.¡± ¡°Well? It¡¯s okay.¡± Han Yu took a little past. He thought it was okay. The staff who took the photo just picked a dozen or so to select this one. He Lianqing¡¯s face didn¡¯t look so stinky. He Lianqing snorted: ¡°There is a chapter missing.¡± Han Wei said: ¡°No, this is not covered...¡± His words were blocked by He Lianqing, and He Lianqing pressed his back with one hand to seal his lips. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Being kissed like that out of nowhere confounded Han Yang¡¯s entire being, his only response was to widen his eyes and gape at the close proximity between himself and HeLian Qing. HeLian Qing pressed his unmoistened lips onto the younger man¡¯s without probing any deeper, simply holding them snug against the boy¡¯s. Yet, that simple touch triggered a thunderous pounding to arise in young man¡¯s heart, and his mind to set itself aze. He Lianqing Capricorn sent the lips of Han Han and retired. The small one in his hand was thrown back to Han Han, and he looked at him who was still worried. He said, ¡°I am talking about my chapter.¡±Boom ¨C This sentence is like a switch, waking up the arrogant Han Han, the whole face is quickly covered with red blush, and after turning on the line of sight of He Lianqing, he turned his head and turned his face away from the window. ¡°Using the galldder.¡± He Lianqing ridiculed the sentence. At that moment, Han Yu didn¡¯t know what was going on. There was a kind of courage to ¡°give from the galldder¡± and swelled from the bottom of my heart. He suddenly looked back at He Lianqing and his lips were dead. When He Lianqing saw it, he snorted: ¡°Why, you can¡¯t say two sentences yet? The temper is quite big...¡± The soft lips touched up, and He Lianqing did not respond. Han Han had already left, and he resumed the posture of looking out the window just now. In this position, He Lianqing couldn¡¯t see his expression, only to see that his original white neck was like red blood. Han Han kissed him? proactive? ! When He Lianqing realized this, the roots of the ear quickly rushed through a trace of current, and the numbness of the numbness, and the pain on the lips, was hit by Han Han. He stared at Han Hong¡¯s red earlobe. He could almost imagine its softness. He couldn¡¯t help but reach out and tried to touch it. He was interrupted by a horn when he started moving. The green light is on. ¡°...Mom, it turned out to be a leopard.¡± Finally, He Lianqing could only say this. Han Hao was just a moment of brainstorming by He Lianqing. After he finished, he waspletely stupid. His heartbeat was like a small volcano to explode. The melt inside was tumbling to drown him. .He kissed He Lianqing.He took the initiative to kiss He Lianqing.God, he actually took the initiative to kiss He Lianqing! !Han Hao¡¯s heart was brushed by his own actions! ! Not only that, but his kiss on He Lianqing and his kiss on He Lianqing did not even have any disgust. I only think that his lips are too hot, and it is necessary to burn him up. On the way, the two people did not speak, and the two returned to the main house of the family. Knowing that the two were going to register today, Mo Suya asked the chef to prepare a lot of dishes. I heard that Han Han was ufortable. She also specially asked the chef to give Han Han a stomach porridge. ¡°Auntie eats more, but I haven¡¯t seen it in these few days, and people have lost a circle.¡± Mo Suya said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how Aqing takes care of people.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about him, I have eaten the wrong thing.¡± Han Han said that he was not too embarrassed. ¡°I just kept him after registering?¡± Mo Suya smiled. ¡°...¡± Han Han silently closed his mouth. On the side of He Lianqing, he happily added a green dish to Han Han: ¡°Take yours.¡± Han Wei: ¡°...¡± Grandpa Helen is also a unique gift. Mo Suya: ¡°...¡± How did you have such a stupid son? ¡°Right, the card is yed, then let¡¯s watch the wedding day? What do you think of both?¡± Mosua said. ¡°Marriage is a big thing, not sloppy.¡± Father said. ¡°Ask him,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°No need...¡± Han said, the wedding... The picture is so beautiful, I can¡¯t believe it. ¡°It¡¯s mainly for the two of you, it¡¯s okay to do it, but the parents of both sides still have to have a meal and get together,¡± Mosua said. Han Yu¡¯s parents are only one grandfather, but he has not said anything to his grandfather, and he is worried that he will stimte his grandfather. ¡°Lateter.¡± He Lianqing said, ¡°When I arrange my time.¡± Han Han looked up at him and moved in his heart. ¡°That line, as long as Auntie doesn¡¯t mind,¡± Mosua said. ¡°Don¡¯t mind.¡± Han Yu quickly said that this is his most hopeful, so that he has time to think about how to tell his grandfather. ¡°Let them arrange it themselves,¡± said Helen. ¡°Then eat first,¡± Mosua said. Although the location and personnel of this meal are no different from the previous one, Han Yu¡¯s mood has changed. He found that Mo Suya was really a very gentle mother. She always had a soft smile in her eyes. She spoke softly and whispered, making people very friendly andfortable. He Lian didn¡¯t talk much, but he didn¡¯t say much about him and He Lianqing, but he also solemnly let the two people have a good time and tolerate each other. Not to mention the father, it has always been very happy for them. Before leaving, Mo Suya took Han Han and said: ¡°A sunny temper is broken, but there is no bad thought. I haven¡¯t seen anyone who has been looking for him for so many years. Since he insists on marrying you, he must have his reasons. Two people live together to get together, his temper is hard, and you are more tolerant of him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡± Han Yu said quickly, ¡°He is actually very good to me, take care of me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Moshua reached out and touched his hair and smiled. ¡°You are a good boy, but don¡¯t grieve yourself. Anything tells me, I will help you.¡± Moshua¡¯s smile was too gentle, and her eyes were filled with love for the younger. Han Han never felt the love of her parents and was captured. He red-eyed and nodded. On the way back, Han Yu was thinking about Moshua. Like Mo Suya, he always felt that He Lianqing signed with him not only because it was as simple as repossessing debts, but because of his own conditions, such as He Lianqing, he did not want to marry him. Why bother to give him a The students from the mountain vige. Although Han Yu knows that he is better than the average student, he is not arrogant enough to let people like He Lianqing see the idea. So he is both confused and curious. ¡°You look in the mirror.¡± He Lianqing suddenly interrupted Han Yu¡¯s contemtion. ¡°What?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡°The fire in your eyes is burning me,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°...¡± Han Yu responded that he had been staring at He Lianqing just now, and he said, ¡°What nonsense?¡± ¡°My mom told me what I am?¡± He Lianqing changed the subject. ¡°How do you know?¡± Han Yu was surprised. ¡°You watched me three or four times during the chat. Are you dead when I am?¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°How do you know that I see you?¡± Han Yu first stunned and then reacted. ¡°So you have been watching me?¡± After saying that both of them were stunned, He Lianqing first reacted: ¡°What are you feeling passionate about yourself?¡± Han Han is only a subconscious reaction. He doesn¡¯t feel very embarrassed when he finishes it. But when he sees He Lianqing who is irritated because he is poked, then he is embarrassed and turned into a funny one. In fact, this man is really more than he imagined. Good in getting along. ¡°Auntie said let us get along well.¡± Han Yu said. ¡°Oh, I am worried.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°Auntie is also good for us,¡± Han said. ¡°So you look a little.¡± He Lianqing gave him a look. ¡°...¡± Obviously you have been poisoning me. Han Yu spoke in his heart and thought of Moshua¡¯s words, saying: ¡°Auntie is very concerned about you.¡± ¡°Hey.¡± He Lianqing sighed. Han Xiao smiled and didn¡¯t talk any more. My heart suddenly remembered the two parents who used their own debts. Perhaps they never thought about half of them in their hearts. He Lianqing suddenly stopped the car to the side of the road, holding Han Han¡¯s chin in one hand and turning his face: ¡°What does it mean to cry out?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have it.¡± Han Wei retorted. ¡°Hey.¡± He Lianqingughed and said, ¡°I really want you to see what expression you are now.¡± ¡°What expression?¡± Han Yu reached out and tried to open his hand, and he was pressed by him when he was just moving. He Lianqing approached Han Han¡¯s face. The two men were less than three centimeters apart. He snorted and said, ¡°I¡¯m really awkward to look like a husband, hurry me.¡± ! ! ! Han Han¡¯s face turned red: ¡°What are you talking about?! Let go...¡± He Lianqing got closer and the lips pressed directly on Han¡¯s lips. Han Han¡¯s chin¡¯s hand was slightly forced, and Han Han licked his teeth. He took the opportunity to touch the tip of his tongue and touched Han Han. Soft and smooth tongue. Han Yulian struggled and forgot, and let him y and trick in his mouth. The flexible tongue seemed to be in his mouth. The soft meat in his mouth was not satisfied, but it was hard to hook. His tongue tangled together and sucked. Han Wei feels that his heartbeat is almost stopped, and he is not daring to move in the seat. After Li Lianqing was enough, he withdrew from Hankou¡¯s mouth, and his hand on his chin was released. The thumb wiped the wetness between his lips and saw him¡¯s ¡°three souls went to two souls and half¡±. Frowning and pushing him: ¡°Wake up, don¡¯t look like you want to ascend to heaven.¡± Han Hao violently returned to God, holding his mouth in one hand and squinting at He Lianqing. ¡°You look like I have eaten your tongue,¡± said He Lianqing. His words reminded Han Han of the tongue he had just provoked in his mouth, and his brain mmed. ¡°You, you... can you, just a little?¡± Han said with a red face. ¡°I kiss my own wife is not serious?¡± He Lianqing raised his eyebrows. ¡°...¡± Han Yu remembered that the two had just received the card in the morning and could only find an excuse. ¡°It¡¯s not good outside.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± He Lianqing said, ¡°Do you mean to go home and continue?¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°Listen to you.¡± He Lianqing started the car when he finished. Han squinted and leaned back on the back of the chair. ¡°Okay.¡± He Lianqing suddenly made a noise. Han Hao took a look at him and heard him say, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Han Wei looked at He Lianqing¡¯s side face, and He Lianqing was still indifferent, but he seemed to feel that He Lianqing knew what he was thinking, andforted him in this way. At that moment, Han Wei felt that his heart had touched this sentence and opened his mouth: ¡°He Lianqing...¡± ¡°With so much free time, it is better to think about your husband.¡± He Lianqing said ¡°...¡± Han Hao put his hand back on his face and simply did not speak. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Finally back at the apartment, Han Yang bent down in the entryway to remove his shoes. A click from the now closed door sounded behind him, but before he was able to properly remove a single shoe, he was suddenly scooped into HeLian Qing¡¯s embrace from behind... ¡°Ah!¡± Losing bnce made him scream, and quickly grabbed the things at hand ¨C He Lianqing¡¯s chest clothes. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Han Yu looked at He Lianqing in surprise, ¡°Let me go.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you say that you can do it again?¡± He Lianqing said of course, ¡°I just satisfied you.¡± After Han Han took a moment to reflect what he meant, he exined: ¡°I just said anything, don¡¯t take it seriously, let me down!¡± It is going to struggle, this posture is held by the princess. It¡¯s just tooshameful. ¡°What?¡± Han Han was blushed by his words. ¡°You don¡¯t want to make trouble, let me put it first...¡± This is much more confusing, saying that so much nonsense is not as good as it is used. He Lianqing thought. He put Han Han on the sofa in the living room, and before he bullied him, he held his hand next to Han Han¡¯s cheek, covered his side with one hand, slowly descended, and his fingers slid gently across his skin. Han Hao¡¯s back is close to the sofa, and it feels like He Lianqing¡¯s fingers are slipping through the ce to leave a stream of current, which stimtes the fine fluff on his skin. He heard the heartbeat of his heart. ¡°He, He Lianqing...¡± He screamed and his voice was scary. ¡°Well?¡± He Lianqing¡¯s hand stopped him on the corbone, and his thumb was rubbing around the beautiful arc. ¡°We, this is too fast...¡± Han said dryly. In this move, Han Han took a breath of cold air and closed his eyes violently. He only felt his ears numb. No, it should be numb. He Lianqing felt his nervousness, let go of the earlobe that was sucked red by himself, and whispered, ¡°Let¡¯s rx.¡± Speaking of the other hand, Han Han¡¯s side face turned slightly, and he used to cover his lips and kiss him. This time the kiss was more lingering than the first time, and it was more gentle than the one just before. ¡°Do you want to suffocate yourself? Change your breath.¡± He Lianqing bite the lower lip of Han Han and remind him to change his breath. Han Hao was too nervous. She had just forgotten to breathe. This would only be reflected. She opened her face and gasped. He Lianqing snorted and covered the skin on his back neck with one hand and one hand from the hem of his clothes. When his hand touched Han¡¯s waist, Han Yu moved, but did not push him. In fact, Han Yu was psychologically prepared from the beginning, as He Lianqing said, their current rtionship is legal, and whatever is done is normal. And there are things that alwayse in anyway, but it¡¯s only a matter of time. However, he never thought that He Lianqing would stop. Han Hao leaned on the sofa, and there was some disappointment in his eyes. The red marks on his lips and neck were numb, which proved what Helen had done. He looked at He Lianqing, who was sitting on the side of the shirt cufflinks: ¡°You...¡± He Lianqing looked at him: ¡°Well?¡± ... don¡¯t you continue? Han Han really can¡¯t ask, but his expression has already exined everything. He Lianqing paused and pulled away a unique sneer of Herren¡¯s style: ¡°I am not hungry enough to seduce a salted fish.¡± Han Wei: ¡°...¡± Who is salted fish! ! ! He Lianqing stood up and took his sleeves up a little, and dropped a sentence ¡°to take a shower and go to sleep¡± and went to the bedroom. ¡°...you are the salted fish.¡± After he left, Han whispered a whisper, and then could not help butugh. At first, he did not expect that Helianqing would stop, but it would not be surprising to think about it. Although He Lianqing still owes his mouth, he has been giving him time to adapt. In fact, from the very beginning, He Lianqing was condoning himself, including not being forced to do so under the circumstances. ¡°How long are you going to sit there?¡± The voice of He Lianqing came from behind. Han Hao turned back and saw that He Lianqing had already showered, and looked at him on the door frame of the bedroom. Han Hao quickly got up and walked over, ready to find clothes to take a bath, and was suddenly pulled by him when He Lianqing. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡°First blow my hair.¡± He Lianqing pulled him inside, sat down in the chair, and ced a hair dryer on the table next to him. Han Hao plugged in the power, fingers crossed He Lianqing¡¯s hair, and the warm wind blew on his hands, bringing warmth. He found that Helen¡¯s hair was a bit hard, but it felt veryfortable. He Lianqing¡¯s hair was not long, and it quickly dried up. When he closed the hair dryer, Han Hao was still a bit reluctant. This is the first time he has blown his hair for someone else. This feeling is wonderful, especially when a hair of a root slips over the palm of his hand, like a feather that scratches his heart. He Lianqing¡¯s hair is usuallybed back, coupled with his chilly expression, the whole person is very difficult to ess. This will dry down the hair after all the clothes, and soften the facial expression, making him look softer and smaller. But whether it is the usual appearance or the present, Han Han has to admit that He Lianqing is a very attractive man. If you were not acquainted with He Lianqing for the sake of debt, you might be attracted to him. This thought that he could not help but look forward to the future life of the two. The hair dryer in his hand was taken away. Han Han looked up and saw that He Lianqing had stood up. He put the hair dryer in his hand and said to him, ¡°Go to the bath.¡± ¡°Oh, good.¡± Han Wei went to take a bath and take a shower. After Han Han took a shower, he saw He Lianqing looking at the magazine against the back of the chair. When the other party saw him, he put the magazine aside and waved his hand: ¡°Come here.¡± Han Han walked over and He Lianqing pulled him to hisp. Han Yu moved a bit, and He Lianqing took his waist and warned: ¡°Don¡¯t move, want to bonfire?¡± The person who is pressing on the thigh and the bonfire is obviously you. Han Han spit in the heart, but he did not move. He Lianqing fingered a few Han Han¡¯s hair, picked up the hair dryer on the side and opened the warm air to help him blow. In addition to cutting hair, this is the first time someone has helped Han Han to blow his hair. Usually he wipes it with a towel. Han Hao slightly lowered his head and felt that He Lianqing¡¯s fingers fiddled with his hair. He Lianqing¡¯s movements were not skilled, but they were unexpectedly gentle. Perhaps the heart of this seemingly difficult man is actually very gentle. Han Yu thought. After blowing his hair, He Lianqing patted Han Han to let him stand up and take the hair dryer to put it. Han Hao looked at his back and screamed: ¡°He Lianqing.¡± He Lianqing looked back at him: ¡°?¡± ¡°We...¡± Han Han took a breath and said, ¡°We will give it a try.¡± He Lianqing stunned and watched Han Han not speak. After the first sentence is said, the next words are much easier. Han Han said: ¡°When I took a shower, I thought about our business. I... I haven¡¯t talked about love, so I don¡¯t know what to do, but I am willing to give it a try. If you are willing... we will get along well.¡± When he said this, Han Han looked directly at He Lianqing, but his ear roots had already been red. He thought a lot when he took a shower. These days, the process of getting along with He Lianqing has always appeared in my mind, and finally settled in the picture of Helianqing guarding his bed. He found that such a Helianqing made him unable to resist. Han Wei is not an division person. If something wants to be opened, he will choose to face it and take the initiative to take that step. So he chose to talk to He Lianqing and said it now. He found it not so difficult. ¡°Have you been listening to me?¡± Han Yu saw that He Lianqing just fixedly looked at himself and said nothing. Hearing is definitely listening, but He Lianqing did not expect that Han Han would suddenly say such things to himself. When he chose to tie Han Han in such apulsive way, he was ready to fight for a protracted war, but he did not expect that Han Han would say ¡°We try it¡± today. The person who had been awkward with himself suddenly softened and suddenly made him feel helpless. This is simply... He Lianqing: ¡°Are you asking for contacts?¡± Han Wei: ¡°...¡± Han Wei really wants time to step back and take back the step that he stepped out, and this person can¡¯t get along well. ¡°...you didn¡¯t say anything when I was.¡± Han Yu rolled his eyes and decided to talk about this topicter. ¡°Do you know what is meant to say that if you go out, do you pour out the water?¡± He Lianqing said that he had walked to the front of Han Yu, and the two were opposite each other. The height difference between the two was more than ten centimeters. He Lianqing looked down and saw Han Han¡¯s spin. He reached over Han Han¡¯s hair, and his hair was so soft that he didn¡¯t want to let go, just like Han Han¡¯s heart. I finally waited until he spoke. He Lianqing thought. ¡°Han Han.¡± He screamed softly, and his voice was a little more tender and gentle. Han Han looked up at him and heard him say, ¡°If you want, then let¡¯s start with love.¡± Han Hao has already prepared for He Lianqing to open the poison tongue mode, but did not expect to wait for such a sentence, gentle and incredible. He looked at He Lianqing in astonishment, and the other hand held his shoulder and bowed his head. There is no fierce demand and nopelling breath. The man just gently rubs his lips against his lips, with irresistible temperature, dry and warm. The heart leaps and swells, with strange and sweet incitement, intense and tense. This feeling is like a small flower in my heart, and He Lianqing is the beam of sunlight thates in. Han Han took the initiative to grab the back of He Lianqing and buried his head on his shoulder. This is quite good. He thought to himself. When he slept, Han Hao whispered: ¡°Herlian Qing.¡± He Lianqing: ¡°Well?¡± Han Hao did not say anything, and He Lianqing asked: ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing: ¡°...¡± Han Hao fell asleep that night, and He Lianqing was insomnia. Looking at the culprit, she slept sweetly, and He Lianqing rolled his eyes and said, ¡°The rabbit is a scorpion.¡± . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Han Yang did not have a ss the following day, so when he woke up that morning ¡ª with prompting from his biological clock, he noticed Helian Qing was still asleep, even though around this time, that man would have normally already left for work. ¡°Herlen Qing.¡± Han Yu pushed him. ¡°Get up, you arete for work.¡± ¡±Don¡¯t go today, don¡¯t make a noise.¡± He Lianqing moved and tightened him tighter. ¡±Is it really good to be in such a ss?¡± Han Yu asked. He Lianqing was annoyed by him. He held up his head and looked at him with dissatisfaction. ¡°I just confessed to mest night. I urged me to go to work today. What do you want to do?¡± ¡±Who is telling you?¡± Is it just a suggestion? ¡±A salted fish.¡± He Lianqing sneered. ¡±So you are falling in love with salted fish?¡± Han Yu back. ¡±Hey, the mouth is pretty good.¡± He Lianqing asked his chin, ¡°Do you know what to do in love? ¡± ¡°What ? ¡± ¡°Han Han is not ashamed to ask. ¡±Dating. ¡°He Lianqing said that he was lying back and squatting at him. ¡°Sleep for a while, what is going on in the early morning.¡± ¡± Why is there a feeling that ¡°the spring is bitter and short, and the king is not early,¡± the Korean woman shook for his own thoughts and simply went down to sleep. When the two wake up again, it is already ten o¡¯clock in the morning. He Lianqing went to wash first, Han Han got up and changed clothes first, and He Lianqing washed him and he just went to wash. Han Han washed his face and didn¡¯t see He Lianqing. He heard the sound outside and went out to see it. Look, I found that He Lianqing was in the kitchen and still wearing pajamas. ¡±Do you want to have breakfast? Let me do it. Han Han was afraid that he would burn the pot and rushed over. He Lianqing ignored him, turned off the fire, and poured the contents of the pot into the cup next to it. It was milk. He Lianqing put the milk pot in the sink, and turned his back to Han Yu. ¡°Drink the milk and go out to eat.¡± Han Han used to take the milk and drink it. Sugar is added to the milk, which has a light sweet taste, just in line with his taste. The warm milk slipped into the esophagus along the throat and flowed into the stomach, warming his stomach, veryfortable. ¡±Don¡¯t you drink?¡± Han Han asked with milk. He Lianqing put the milk pot on the side and turned to face Han Han. He leaned down and licked the milk stain on his lips and said, ¡°Now drink, the taste is okay.¡± How can I drink this? ! Han Han¡¯s face was hot, and the milk in his head was finished, and nothing happened, but his heart rushed and hopped. After packing, the two went out. ¡±Where are we going?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡±Diet,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°Are you finished eating?¡± asked Han Han. ¡±Where do you want to go?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡±Hey, aren¡¯t you decided?¡± Han Yu looked at him. He thought that He Lianqing said that he had already nned it in the morning. ¡±I just decided not to go to work.¡± He Lianqing gave him a look. Sunny Gege, your decision is self-willed! Han Han did not talk about love, and he did not know what others would do. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Would you like to watch a movie?¡± ¡± Well, ¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°Walk?¡± asked Han Han. ¡±It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡±Or go to the amusement...¡± Han Han¡¯s words stopped. His eyes looked at the scenery outside the window and found that the ginkgo leaves were already yellow. The leaves on the side of the avenue were golden and beautiful. During this time, he was troubled and He Lianqing, and he forgot that it had been more than November, and it was the season to enjoy the ginkgo. ¡±Go to see Ginkgo.¡± He Lianqing suddenly said. Han Wei looked back at him and saw him driving the car without squinting. He smiled a little: ¡°Well, you take me.¡± He Lianqing snorted and the car turned to the other direction. After eating lunch, He Lianqing drove to Yao County. Yao County has a sight to see Ginkgo, but it takes more than half an hour to drive. Arge piece of ginkgo can be seen near the ce of interest. Han Han wowed and pressed the window. ¡±Anxious, what will be more to show you.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡±It¡¯s also very beautiful here.¡± Han Wei said that he took out his mobile phone and took a few photos. He Lianqing stopped looking for a ce outside the attraction and the two bought tickets. Ginkgo trees are nted on both sides of the avenue. When the wind blows, many leaves fall down, and the ground is covered with ayer of golden yellow. Looking at the golden color in front of it, the leaves of the wind blew a fewps in the air and fell on his shoulders. Han Hao suddenly had a feeling of openness and openness. He reached for a leaf and lifted it up. The sun fell on his face through the leaves, letting him half-squinted and his mouth faintly smiling. Came the camera¡¯s shutter sound, Han Han turned to see He Lianqing holding a camera to take pictures, the camera is facing him. Han Hao is not used to taking pictures, and stretched out his hand: ¡°Don¡¯t shoot.¡± He Lianqing waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t block the tree.¡± Han Wei: ¡°...¡± Han Yu threw the leaves and walked on their own While walking, take a mobile phone to take pictures, although He Lianqing brought the camera, but he is not very useful, not as good as the mobile phone. He Lianqing walked behind him and called out the photo he had just taken. There is a newly built eight-story tower on the top of the scenic spot. Ginkgo biloba is along the steps along the way. The scenery is very beautiful. Many people whoe to y will go up and see, Han Han is no exception, and walks with He Lianqing. The air on the mountain is very fresh. There are quite a few residents nearby to take a walk. There are many people going back and forth along the way. Han Wei stopped and walked around and took photos everywhere. After a while, he saved a lot of photos on his mobile phone. He also secretly took two shots for He Lianqing. ¡±Have you been there?¡± Han Yong stopped to ask He Lianqing when he was halfway through. ¡±I went there a few years ago, and I didn¡¯t build a tower at that time.¡± He Lianqing hung the camera on his arm and took the thermos from the bag to Han Han. In the morning, the bag was arranged by He Lianqing. Han Han did not expect that He Lianqing also brought a thermos bottle. The warm water was veryfortable to drink in such weather. When he just drank two, he saw that He Lianqing opened a bottle of mineral water and was busy pulling him and said, ¡°Drink hot.¡± He said that he handed the thermos to him. He Lianqing looked at the bottle and finally drank the mineral water. Then he put the two people back into the bag and pulled up Han Han: ¡°Go.¡± Han Han¡¯s finger moved, no struggle, followed him. Go on. When I got to the top, there were more people. Just stepping on thest step, He Lianqing was hit by a running boy. His eyes quickly reached out and grabbed the boy to prevent the boy from falling. ¡±Hey!¡± The little boy ran into his nose and screamed. ¡°The nose crashed!¡± Han Han patted him and asked, ¡°Where I hit it, give my uncle a look.¡± The boy let go. The hand that licked the nose, the only white face on the white face, was red, and it should have just hit the leg of He Lianqing. ¡±Is it painful?¡± Han Yu touched his nose gently. The boy was about four years old. He looked at Han¡¯s eyes and said with pity: ¡°It¡¯s sore and crying, I want my brother to kiss.¡± After he finished, he licked his mouth and approached Han Yu. He Lianqing¡¯s big hand , directly on his face. Han Wei: ¡°...¡± Little boy : ¡°...¡± ¡±Sorry, sorry, the child is not sensible.¡± A young woman ran around to pick up the little boy. She just turned and bought some drinks. I didn¡¯t expect the little guy to run away. ¡±It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Han Xiao smiled and reached out and touched the boy¡¯s head. ¡°It¡¯s very cute.¡± The little boy saw Han Han praise him, and he smiled twice, suddenly reaching out to Han Han¡¯s head, let him kiss. Han Han a bite. Herlian¡¯s face turned ck, and the young woman quickly apologized and took the little boy away. Han Wei looked at the little boy who turned his head and waved at him. He reached out and touched the ce where he was kissed. He couldn¡¯t help butugh. There was a sneer next to him, and Han Yi looked back and saw He Lianqing looking at him with no expression. Han Han put his hand down and coughed: ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go and see.¡± He Lianqing turned and walked back to the mountain, and Han Yu spit out his tongue and followed. Ginkgo biloba leaves in the back mountain have fallen by more than half, so almost no one came. The more you walked in, the quieter you walked, leaving only Han Han and He Lianqing. After walking for a while, He Lianqing suddenly stopped. Han Han stopped and looked up at him: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He Lianqing frowned and pressed his hand on Han Han¡¯s face, rubbing his thumb back and forth. Cheek, it was the ce where the little boy had kissed. Han Yu first stunned, thinking of his unspeakable performance, then reacted and said with surprise: ¡°You... will not be jealous?¡± He Lianqing¡¯s hand paused, sneered, turned and left. . Han Han catches up: ¡°That¡¯s just a child, you won¡¯t be stingy even with this...¡± Whening down from the mountain, Han Han¡¯s face was still a little red, and his fingers were firmly held by He Lianqing, pulling him down all the way. The warmth of the palm of the hand spread through the arms, so that Han Yu felt that his heart was also covered with ginkgo and leaves, warm and warm. The people around them cast more curious eyes on them, but Han Wei did not care at this time. Let the sunny grid be happy. Han Yu thought. Since it is a date, it will definitely not end in half a day. When they return to the city, they go to the movies. Han Wei originally wanted to buy popcorn. He Lianqing was banned because his stomach was still not good. He only bought him a cup of hot ginger milk. ¡±I am already good.¡± Han Yu said with milk. ¡°When you watch a movie, you want to eat popcorn, otherwise it is very boring.¡± ¡±Carry and eat again.¡± He Lianqing was unmoved and took him into the auditorium. ¡±Okay.¡± Han Han can only nod. After watching the movie, the two went home after dinner. Han Yuhe even made a phone call to Grandpa when he took a shower, reminding him that the weather is getting cold and keeping warm. Grandpa even screamed, and after he had smashed Han Han, he asked a question that has always been concerned: ¡°Small sly, there is no friend talking there?¡± Grandpa¡¯s friend said that he is a girlfriend. In Han Yu¡¯s vige, most of the young people like Han Hao have been married and have children, so Grandpa has to ask this question every time he calls. Han Hao looked at the direction of the bathroom and decided to reveal a little news first. He said, ¡°I have some time to get along, so I have time to bring it back to you.¡± ¡±Good.¡± Grandpaughed cheerfully. ¡°You yourself.¡± Do you know more about it outside?¡± ¡°I know, don¡¯t worry.¡± Han Wei heard the sound of the bathroom stopped and said that he had hung up two sentences. When I was asleep, Han Wei had been thinking about how to tell He Lianqing about his grandfather. Grandpa has lived in their small vige for the rest of his life. It is not always eptable to marry a man or a man. He only hopes that he will not be too scared. After thinking about it for a while, Han Yu really couldn¡¯t think of a solution, and some of them turned over. When he just moved, He Lianqing said: ¡°Do you fry salted fish?¡± Han Yu remembered that he said yesterday that he was a salted fish: ¡°I just can¡¯t sleep.¡± ¡±Is it?¡± He Lianqing took the hand that was wrapped around his waist and held the man in his arms. Inside, I said to my ear, ¡°If you really can¡¯t sleep, I don¡¯t mind doing something else.¡± He was so troubled by He Lianqing, Han Han did not think about how to confuse the grandfather¡¯s showdown, closed his eyes and slowly entered sleep. .......................... Chapter 16 Chapter 16 ¡°Tomorrow morning, at nine, you have a meeting with a newly foundedpany in the city. Following that, at three in the afternoon, you also have a face to face consultation with President Zong from the ¡°Golden Age¡± online gamingpany. Inside the office, Xiao Chen went over the itinerary for the next day with Helian Qing, who nodded approvingly when he was done, ¡°Go make the necessary preparations.¡± In the office, Xiao Chen and He Lianqing reported on the trip tomorrow. He Lianqing nodded after listening: ¡°Go and prepare.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Chen nodded and was about to leave. He Lianqing suddenly yelled at him again: ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°BOSS, what else is it?¡± asked Xiao Chen. ¡°I remember your sister is a doctor?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Ah, yes, go to work in a Chinese medicine museum.¡± Xiao Chen said. He Lianqing thought for a moment and said, ¡°You help me a favor, help me ask your sister, how should people with stomach cold should be raised, and what should be paid attention to in winter joint pain.¡± ¡°Is it a father? Or will I talk to my sister and find time to look at the old man.¡± Xiao Chen asked, some doubts in his heart, he remembered that the father was in good health, and there was no such problem. ¡°No, it is your boss,¡± said He Lianqing. The proprietress. Xiao Chen stunned before he reacted. He Lianqing said that he was the young man who went to the restaurantst time. ¡°I will ask you right away, is there any other problem?¡± Xiao Chen took out his mobile phone. ¡°As far as these two things are concerned, you can help me to ask carefully, diet and...¡± He Lianqing paused for a moment and felt that he asked him more in detail. He simply said, ¡°Let me ask, you can help me.¡± ¡°Good BOSS.¡± After Chen finished speaking, he dialed the phone number of his sister, and exined the reason and gave the phone to He Lianqing. He Lianqing said something about Han Han to the other party, and carefully took notes when listening to the advice of the other party. He asked very carefully, and some of Han Han¡¯s little habits and things he liked were said to ensure the best solution. Xiao Chen looked around, arge exmation point inside: BOSS not too gentle! ! It¡¯s not like the usual high level! It is simply twenty-four filial man! The contrast is too big and terrible! After consulting clearly, He Lianqing returned the phone to Xiao Chen and picked up the jacket and said to Xiao Chen: ¡°I asked your sister to help prepare some ingredients for the medicinal diet. She will take it home this evening, and you will help me take it tomorrow. ¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Xiao Chen nodded, what the boss said is what. ¡°This month¡¯s bonus doubled.¡± He Lianqing left the office after leaving this sentence. ¡°!!!¡± Xiao Chen¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened and the bonus doubled! God! That is a winning prize! Thanks to Mrs. BOSS! ! Xiao Chen sighed and went straight to work. He Lianqing went straight to the main building when he left thepany building. The couple and his father went out to travel two days before, and there were only housekeepers and servants at home. ¡°Young master,e back to dinner? Didn¡¯t Han Han¡¯s young master not be with you?¡± asked the old housekeeper. ¡°Don¡¯t eat, Han Han is at home.¡± He Lianqing waved his hand. ¡°Is Zhou Wei there?¡± Zhou Wei is the chef of He Lianjia and has been working at He Lian for more than 20 years. ¡°In the backyard, I let here.¡± The old butler went to find someone. After Zhou Hao came over, He Lianqing said the reason for his return. Zhou Wei said: ¡°Stew soup, this is simple, the young master is upstairs, etc. I have stewed it for you and Auntie.¡± He Lianqing was looked at by two elders who had been cared for by him since childhood, and coughed unnaturally: ¡°I am right to teach me anyway.¡± Zhou Wei seems to understand what it is, nodded: ¡°Well,e here, tell Zhou Wei what soup you want to stew?¡± ¡°Chenpi pork ribs, is there any material at home?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Yes! I want to stew what I want to say!¡± Zhou said. The two said as they went to the kitchen, the old butler looked at their back and thought nodly: ¡°The young master grew up!¡± Recently, He Lianqing had to take the time to pick up Han Han every day, but at this time the soup still needs to be stewed for a while. He took the time to go out and called Han Han. Han Hao was still in ss when he received the call, and the mobile phone on the desktop shed with the words ¡°Qing Ge Ge¡±. The longevity next to the ¡°clear Gege?¡± just saw the name, ¡°This name is a cow! Gege auspicious!¡± Han Xiao smiled a bit, picked up the phone and bent down to pick up the phone from the back door of the ssroom. Han Wei took the phone outside the ssroom and picked up the phone: ¡°What happened? Are you off work?¡± ¡°No, there is something that can¡¯t pick you up,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°Oh, nothing, I just go back.¡± Han Han kicked the stone on the ground. ¡°Would youe back for dinner at night?¡± ¡°I took a trip back home and let people take it back without cooking.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°Well, when are youing back?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡°So I want to go back?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°I just want to eat.¡± Han Xiao smiled. ¡°Are you a rice bucket?¡± He Lianqing was very dissatisfied with his attitude that ¡°husband is not as good as a bowl of rice.¡± ¡°Then you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Han Yu returned. ¡°You are now a lot bigger,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°Alright,¡± Han said. The two have registered for more than half a month now. After these days, he has almost the same temper about He Lianqing. His mouth is very powerful, but his heart is very soft. ¡°Well,¡± He Lianqing sneered, ¡°Go back and pick you up at night.¡± When He Lianqing said the phone, he hung up. Han Han said helplessly: ¡°The temper is really bad.¡± It¡¯s inevitable that heughed again, and it¡¯s incredible to be able to get along with He Lianqing. I smiled and suddenly thought of thest sentence of He Lianqing, and suddenly I couldn¡¯t smile. Back in the ssroom, Han Hangang sat down and walked over and said, ¡°Who¡¯s on the phone, so happy.¡± ¡°Well? Is my expression very happy?¡± Han Han touched his face. ¡°Daughter¡¯s sister? Hey! Looks like a pink bubble.¡± The dormitory fourth voice also said. ¡°You are too exaggerated.¡± Han Xiao smiled. Brother and sister? He Lianqing? If Qing Gege knows that someone calls him this way, his face is estimated to stink into the sky? The head of the house shook his head: ¡°Iughed so much, the IQ of the person in love is worrying! Even the name must be nicknamed, and it is still sunny, hey, this is the rhythm of the horse!¡± ¡°Love! We do not understand these single dogs!¡± said the fourth. Han Xiao smiled and didn¡¯t speak. He didn¡¯t know if he was in love with He Lianqing. In fact, there is no change in their rtionship. He Lianqing now sends him to and from ss every day. In the afternoon, he goes shopping for food and goes back to cook. He is responsible for cooking. He Lianqing is responsible for washing dishes and washing dishes. After dinner, I y games and watch movies. Or do something shy about it... Han Hao returned to his home after ss, and He Lianqing has not returned yet. He is bored and boring Han Hao simply opened the PPT of theputer inspection programming project. When he saw it, He Lianqing came back. When I heard the opening of the door, Han Han put down theputer and went out. At the door, he saw He Lianqing carrying a big food box on his hand. He quickly picked it up. ¡°How is it so heavy?¡± Han Yu asked. ¡°There is soup inside.¡± He Lianqing put the shoes on. He Lianqing brought back three dishes and one soup, and Han Han took them out to make soup and rice. ¡°Howe back with soup,¡± Han said. ¡°By the way.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°Chenpi pork ribs¡± Han Han stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon. ¡°Well, give it a try.¡± He Lianqing said. Han Han took a drink and asked He Lianqing: ¡°How?¡± Han Yu drank two more and decided to taste the taste before asking: ¡°Is Zhou Zhou resting today?¡± ¡°We have a rest and we have another chef.¡± He Lianqing said. ¡°No wonder the taste is not right.¡± Han Hao nodded, it was. ¡°Then don¡¯t drink.¡± He Lianqing turned ck. ¡°Well? Not so exaggerated, but the taste is not the same, there is no good week to do.¡± Han Xiao smiled and drank two more. ¡°In fact, it is very good, you drink too.¡± He Lianqing sighed and took his own soup and took a sip. The taste is very good! The mouth is so picking, I will not cook you tomorrow. He Lianqing silently finished drinking his soup. Since the two decided to have a love rtionship after marriage, He Lianqing is like a kissing madman. He presses him all at once at home, and sometimes he does not let his thighs pass. He always has nothing to lose. The trace of the end. Even so, the two of them did not make the final step. Just like that, he could feel that Helianqing had reacted and reacted a lot, but he did not move himself, but just took a shower. In fact, not only is He Lianqing, but Han Hao himself will respond. Looking at the ce where he looked up slightly, Han Han smashed the pillows of He Lianqing twice, expressing dissatisfaction with his ruthless and irresponsible behavior. He Lianqing took a shower and found that Han Han was already asleep. He slid open the quilt, because the body that had rushed to the cold bath brought a cool air, and especially warmed up before he hugged Han Han. After sleeping together for a long time, Han Yu was used to his arms, and he shrank into his arms as he hugged. He Lianqing kissed his ear and reached out to close themp next to him. The interior was dimmed. Good night, small salted fish. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 part1 Though he said he would not give Han Yang anymore soup, Qing Gege [Big Brother] still returned to his family¡¯s mansion the next day to tell Aunt Zhou about what Han Yang had said, as well as to ask her what the problem could have been. After his recount of the matter, Aunt Zhouughingly exined, ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ve been a chef for more than half of my life, so it¡¯s a given that my skills must be better whenpared to yours.¡± ¡°Then what am I supposed to do?¡± Helian Qing drew his brows into a knit. ¡°You just need to practice a few more times and you¡¯ll get better. I already had the ingredients for this afternoon prepared.¡± Aunt Zhou then jested, ¡°Who would¡¯ve known the Young Master could be so impatient?¡± ¡°Can we just get to the soup?¡± Helian Qing stated expressionlessly, though on the inside, he stir-fried that free-riding [1] piece of salted fish, known as Han Yang, repeatedly. Aunt Zhou, ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll teach you how to do it now. So today will be......¡± ¡°Hujiao Zhudu soup.¡± Helian Qing said. [T/n: Pepper Pig Belly (soup)] ¡°Okay.¡± Aunt Zhouughed as she got the ingredients ready one by one, while Helian Qing exined once more. Due to his wish to learn how to make many soups, he immediately got out his notebook to take notes. Intending to record all the necessary ingredients and their quantities. The butler stood at the sidelines, looking on at his Young Master learning earnestly, sincerelymenting, ¡°Ah, coaxing a wife is truly not easy!¡± Later that evening, Helian Qing brought the soup he cooked back home. Han Yang took the thermos containing it, then opened it, the act allowing him to smell the concentrated vour of the pork belly and pepper bounded together. Since the ingredients were slowly stewed together for around three hours, it gave the soup a rich aroma, and drinking such soups during winter, was quite fitting. ¡°How is it?¡± Helian Qing came right out and asked as he watched Han Yang take a sip of the soup. ¡°It¡¯s not bad, just a little too strong.¡± Han Yang replied. ¡°Is it the pepper?¡± Helian Qing asked before he took a bite himself, making the decision to add a bit less spice the next time. ¡°Mhm, but other than that, it¡¯s alright to eat.¡± Han Yang said as he again took a bite. This one isn¡¯t too bad. Helian Qing thought. Han Yang had now finished his bite and was preparing to take another when Helian Qing stopped him all of a sudden, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t eat it. Next time I¡¯ll have them add less pepper.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. The chef worked hard to make this soup, throwing it out will be wasteful.¡± ¡°I know that very well.¡± Helian Qing said this, but he still stopped Han Yang¡¯s spoon of soup. ¡°What?¡± Han Yang asked, not hearing what he had said. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just eat.¡± Helian Qing directed. ¡°Okay.¡± Han Yang nodded, continuing to eat his dinner. For the next week, Helian Qing had brought home a soup with him everyday. One day, Han Yang could not help but ask, ¡°Is the new chef honing his technical skills everyday?¡± In the process of eating his meal, Helian Qing¡¯s hand halted, ¡°Why do you care so much about what he¡¯s doing?¡± ¡°I just feel this is too much of a bother, since Aunty Su and the others aren¡¯t there, yet we¡¯re still troubling Shifu everyday to make these soups just for my benefit.¡± Han Yang said shyly. ¡°Actually, I think we can make the soups for ourselves.¡± [T/n: Shifu is just a polite way to refer to a professional.] ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything better to do?¡± Helian Qing said impatiently. ¡°......¡± Han Yang was left speechless. ¡°Just remember to be grateful.¡± Helian Qing reminded him. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Master Helian.¡± Han Yang agreed. Master Helian was indeed pleased by that dried salted fish¡¯s tact, thus he replenished the younger man¡¯s soup, ¡°Your reward.¡± ¡°Thank you, Princess, for this rpense.¡± Han Yang said, beaming. ¡°Shut it.¡± Helian Qing gently scolded, ¡°Do you want go to heaven right now? Call me that again, try it.¡± Han Yang stuck out his tongue, before cheerfully lowering his head, then continued to eat his dinner. ** When his afternoon ss ended, Han Yang was stopped by his Daoshi [Mentor], and the two went down the stairs together. Daoshi, ¡°The bonus from thest project came in, so I¡¯ll call youter when it¡¯s transferred to your card, alright.¡± Han Yang nodded, ¡°Yes. Thank you Laoshi [Teacher].¡± With a wave of their hand, Daoshi added, ¡°Why so formal, you¡¯ve worked very hard for this for very long, so take some time to rest now.¡± Han Yang smiled, ¡°It was no trouble.¡± After all, he was very thankful to Daoshi for giving him such an opportunity. Patting his shoulder, Daoshi then said, ¡°Go on home, alright.¡± Han Yang gave a nod, ¡°Goodbye, Daoshi.¡± Because he had no more sses that afternoon, Han Yang went to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat then headed straight home. Just as he had returned, he received a message reading ¡°¡õ¡õ has been deposited into your ount¡±, and above those words was the word ¡°Bonus¡±. This had been the first time a project kept him busy for an entire two months, and Han Yang had indeed endured many a long night. But, even though he was tired, the bonus amount was quite good, and so it was all regarded as being worth it. He sent a message to Laoshi, confirming he had received the money, then after that, made his way to the study and turned on hisputer. Once on, he opened a filebelled ¡°Bill¡±, which he used to record the debt his mother and father owed to Helian Qing. He proceeded to record his just received bonus, which had before it, a few amounts noted as well. But, in the face of such a tremendous amount of debt, those few sums were tantamount to drops of water before an ocean [2] ¡ªinsignificant. Han Yang took out his phone, checked his savings in the bank, and again recorded the details into the files before saving it, intending to shut off hisputer. Just as he put his phone aside, it rang. The iing call being from Mo Suya. ¡°Aunty Su.¡± Han Yang closed off the file and received the call. ¡°A¡¯Yang, are you at home, by chance?¡± Mo Suya asked. ¡°Yeah. Did you return from your trip?¡± Han Yang also asked. ¡°Yeah, we just left the airport, so in a little bit we¡¯ll pass by your apartment to take you back with us to have a meal. See youter, okay. ¡± Mo Suya said happily. ¡°Alright, see you soon.¡± Han Yang replied. After he hung up, Han Yang gave Helian Qing a call, but it went unanswered. He figured the other was most likely busy so he instead decided to get himself ready for the time being, then wait for Mo Suya to arrive. It was about half an hourter when Mo Suya had arrived, Helian Cheng was also with her. ¡°Did Grandad note back?¡± Han Yang asked. ¡°Oh, Lao Yezi ran into an old friend, so he decided to stay for a couple more days.¡± Mo Suya answered, reaching to fix Han Yang¡¯s cor while she continued, ¡°Today is such a chilly day, why are you wearing so little? Are those clothes warm enough? Tomorrow, I¡¯ll go with you so we can get you some thick winter wear.¡± ¡°I have enough, I already have quite a lot of winter clothes.¡± Han Yang said quickly, as not too long ago, Helian Qing had someone order him quite a few sets of down garments, and even still proceeded to drag him to buy a lot more clothes. So now, half of their closet was upied by his clothes. ¡°That¡¯s fine, then. Just put on a bit moreyers.¡± Mo Suya then added, ¡°I called A¡¯Qing a moment ago, but the call didn¡¯t go through, you two aren¡¯t butting heads again these days, right? He¡¯s not bullying you, is he?¡± ¡°No, were doing quite fine.¡± Han Yang responded. ¡°Okay. Then, I brought gifts for the two of you. So, when we get back home I¡¯ll show you.¡± Mo Suya said. ¡°Sure, thank you Aunty Su.¡± Han Yang smiled. When they returned, Mo Suya gave everyone their gifts she had brought back. In addition to Helian Qing and Han Yang, Lao Guanjia [Butler] and Aunt Zhou were not left out. Mo Suya had even brought a few choctes to share amongst the female servants. After she was done distributing the presents, she along with Helian Cheng, both went upstairs to unpack their things. So now, Han Yang, who was left sitting by his lonesome and bored, saw that Aunt Zhou was busy in the kitchen, thus he simply went over to help. ¡°Let me give you a hand.¡± Han Yang said, wanting to help wash the vegetables. But just as he went over to assist Aunt Zhou, a startled young girl, hurriedly took the vegetables aside, saying, ¡°There is no need, that¡¯s not necessary!¡± ¡°Then, can I help you cut them?¡± Han Yang asked. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need to!¡± The young girl shook her head vigorously. ¡°Then......¡± ¡°Young Master A¡¯Yang, you shouldn¡¯t frighten her. Just wait outside, alright.¡± Aunt Zhou said cheerily. ¡°But I¡¯m so bored.¡± Han Yang alsoughed. ¡°Then, what kind of soup do you want to eat today? Aunt Zhou will make you some soup.¡± Aunt Zhou asked. After he heard what she said, Han Yang remembered that Shifu that helped to give him those soups, so he asked, ¡°Aunt Zhou, who¡¯s the new cook?¡± ¡°New cook?¡± A puzzled Aunt Zhou asked. ¡°Yeah, the one who gave me soup for that past few days, so I want to thank him for the trouble.¡± Han Yang borated. ¡°Oh! Who did I think you were talking about, eh!¡± Aunt Zhouughed, ¡°There aren¡¯t any new chefs here, those soups were all the Young Master¡¯s. He came here everyday to let me teach him about then.¡± Han Yang froze, and again asked , ¡°Who did you just say it was?¡± ¡°Young Master Qing.¡± Aunt Zhou, replied then added, ¡°He said he wanted to soothe your stomach, so everyday, he came back here to ask me to teach how to do it. He even wrote everything down in a huge notebook!¡± All the soup given to him this week was from Helian Qing? He even took notes in a giant notebook?! Han Yang felt dumb, because that idea had never urred to him! He instantaneously felt as if someone had smacked him, leaving his mind in a daze. It was no wonder that those days where Helian Qing brought soup back with him, he always asked whether or not it tastes good. Also, why if he said there was a problem, that guy¡¯s face would get all sour, but if he praised it, he would be gifted with another serving. So it turns out all the soups were cooked by him, doesn¡¯t it? Aunt Zhou saw he was still speechless, so she added, ¡°Every time you finished eating, the Young Master would write down the issue, then he¡¯d have me teach him how to adjust them based on your preferences. So, how was it? Are you ustomed to the taste?¡± ¡°......I¡¯m used to it.¡± Han Yang nodded. With such kindhearted intentions, how could I not get used to it. ¡°That¡¯s good, then.¡± Aunt Zhou smiled, then urged him, ¡°Don¡¯t let the Young Master know that I told you about it, alright? He¡¯s a bit sensitive, so he¡¯ll probably get mad and not cook anymore!¡± With that Princess Qing¡¯s temper, I think he¡¯ll definitely be pissed. ¡°I got it.¡± Han Yang nodded, and asked, ¡°Oh right, Aunt Zhou, you mentioned that he took notes in a book. Where exactly is it? Can I take a look?¡± ¡°It¡¯s up in the Young Master¡¯s room. You can go up and get it yourself, if you want?¡± Aunt Zhou answered. Helian Qing came by everyday, so his notebook was always left there. ¡°I will. Thank you Aunt Zhou.¡± Han Yang expressed his gratitude before heading upstairs. ¡°Aunt Zhou, is it really not a problem that you exposed the Young Master?¡± The young woman who helped wash the vegetables asked. ¡°Why would it be an issue? Not revealing it just now would¡¯ve been the problem.¡± Aunt Zhou exined, ¡°The Young Master, that man, is as stubborn as a mule [2]. If I hadn¡¯t said anything, Young Master Yang wouldn¡¯t know, and those two would just end up going around in even more circles.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it it is.¡± The young girl nodded, ¡°Old ginger really is hotter than the new [3].¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Aunt Zhou said smugly. Han Yang made his way to Helian Qing¡¯s room, immediately seeing the notebook atop his desk as he entered. He then went to pick it up, and opened it. On several pages at the front of the book, there were a few scattered numbers and dates. Han Yang guessed that Helian Qing must have written those when he was at work. He then turned the a few more pages to see ¡°Food and drinks to take held of during a Stomach Cold¡±, written at the top of the page, and below each item was a small list of dishes: Chenpi Paigu soup, Hujiao Zhu Du soup, Dangshen Huangqi Yangrou soup [4], etc...... [Tangerine peel and Spareribs Soup; Pepper Pig Belly Soup; Codonopsis & Astrgus root with Mutton Soup...] Above, he jotted down a few of the soups Han Yang had eaten. He originally did think it was a new chef, not expecting it to be Helian Qing. Again, he turned the page, where he then saw Aunt Zhou¡¯s words written down. On several pages, her words were carefully transcribed, including detailed records of the quantity of each ingredient, as well as their required cooking time. Among these, there were several soups which had even more notations following them of what ingredients to reduce, such as pepper, dried tangerine peels, etc. All of them being the soups he had given suggestions on. Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] Because of his exposure to the freezing cold during his childhood, his stomach suffered from Hanqi (chills) [5]. Furthermore, due to it being an old untreated ailment, taking care of it was not easy. He had also been quite busy with attending his sses as well as a simultaneous jobs to make money, that he simply did not have enough will inclination to take care of it himself. Therefore, very often, at those times when he experienced pain, he would just take some pills and endure it until it had passed. This problem if his was not all that serious, but he had never thought that anyone would do something to such an extent just for him. Helian Qing being the kind of man, to all of a sudden wash his hands and make soup, was something that if you said it out loud, there would be no one who would regard it as truth. From their time together, Han Yang hade to the understanding Helian Qing, without a doubt, before meeting him, had never once washed his in chopsticks, let alone, prepared a soup. Yet he, of all people, still did so. He even went as far as to fill several pages with notes recording all his own preferences, one after another. In that instant, Han Yang¡¯s heart swelled with pain, he even felt his eyes bing unable to contain the wretched sensation which arose. He blinked his eyes in an effort to dispel the mist, but it was useless. All he could do was to use book within his hands to shield his face. That movement of his hands resulting in a piece of paper residing within the journal to fall out. Han Yang picked up the item and had a look, it was a business card. ¡ª¡ªChen Qingqing, upation: Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Han Yang simply reinserted it into the book, which just so happened to turn to a page in the middle, where he found the following things written at the top. December 18th, 20xx ¨C Morning Jiang Shanlu, upation: Doctor of TCM ¨C Acupuncture & Moxibustion December 19th, 20xx ¨C Morning Jiang Shanlu, upation: Doctor of TCM ¨C Acupuncture & Moxibustion They were both dates for the uing weekend. Han Yang suddenly recalled that a few days ago, Helian Qing said he would be taking him out for something thating weekend. When he asked where there were going, Helian Qing did not say, and now that he saw those notes, Han Yang immediately understood. That this course of acupuncture treatment, was actually arranged for him. That year his parents abandoned him, it had happened to be freezing cold day during the twelfth lunar month. He was left with the aftereffects of the frostbite he got back then, so now, every year during the coldest parts of winter, he was practically always in pain. Back then, his family¡¯s economic situation was not that great, not to mention, it had not been easy for his grandfather to afford sending him to school. With that, and out of fear of worrying his Grandpa, he dared not mention it. Afterwards, as he grew older, he slowly got ustomed to the pain, just as he did with his Stomach Cold, bing indifferent to both. But now, there was someone who got in contact with a doctor for his legs, and they even arranged for acupuncture treatments. That made Han Yang shocked, and even moreso at aplete and utter loss at what he should do. Apart from his Grandpa, there was no one else who cared for him. He had never expected there was someone hidden from him who would hold him dearly at the pinnacle of their heart. Stretching his hand to rub his knee, Han Yang took a deep breath, then slowly sat himself on a nearby chair, remaining still, as he stared at the words in Helian Qing¡¯s notebook for a very long time. ¡°Buzz, buzz¡ª¡ª¡ª¡± Han Yang¡¯s phone vibrated in his pocket. He fished it out to see it was Helian Qing who was calling him. Dazedly, Han Yang gazed at the two words ¡°Helian Qing¡±, forgetting to answer the call leaving it to eventually cut itself off. Han Yang wanted to call him back, but Helian Qing called again himself. ¡°What are you doing not answering your phone?¡± Helian Qing¡¯s tone was quite cranky. Han Yang did not respond, fearing he would be unable to restrain the intense emotions suppressed in his chest, and that his tears will fall. ¡°Say something.¡± Helian Qing asked again after noting thed¡¯sck of a response, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer the phone?¡± ¡°...Helian Qing.¡± Han Yang spoke, discovering his voice sounded a bit hoarse after the fact. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Helian Qing noticed his voice did not sound right, ¡°Who bullied you?¡± Han Yang swallowed a breath, then said, ¡°You did!¡± ¡°When did I do something to bully you?¡± Helian Qing asked. ¡°What time are youing back?¡± Han Yang changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯ll bete, tonight there¡¯s a dinner party, and I won¡¯t make it back in time for supper, so you should just obediently eat your dinner, okay.¡± Helian Qing said. ¡°Then, am I going to still be eating soup today?¡± Han Yang inquired. ¡°Do you want to eat soup?¡± Helian Qing asked in return. ¡°Mhm, I got ustomed to eating it.¡± Han Yang said. ¡°The chef requested a day off today, so I¡¯ll ask Aunt Zhou make it for you, alright?¡± Helian Qing said, pretending to sound serious. ¡°That¡¯s alright, I was just asking, I like eating the soup the new chef makes.¡± Han Yang did not expose him. ¡°Is that so.¡± Helian Qing¡¯s voice had an obvious glimmer of joy as he spoke, ¡°Then tomorrow, I¡¯ll get him to cook for you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Han Yang paused for a while, then again called out to him, ¡°Helian Qing.¡± ¡°Mn?¡± Helian Qing groaned. ¡°Come back early, I¡¯ll be waiting for you at home.¡± Han Yang said, before hanging up the phone soon after. At the other end of the line, Helian Qing held the phone in his hand for a good while, still unable to recover from Han Yang¡¯s ¡°Come back soon, I¡¯ll be waiting for you at home¡±. It was akin to a flirtatious lover waiting for him to return. This was the first time he had heard such words from Han Yang, so Helian Qing suspected there was something wrong. [T/n: the phrase for flirtatious lover, can also mean spoiled child.] He thought it over, then called Han Yang again. ¡°What happened?¡± Han Yang asked. ¡°Are you really alright?¡± Helian Qing was not too convinced. ¡°Why must there be something wrong?¡± Han Yang did not know if to cry orugh, ¡°I was just bored, so I asked when you¡¯ll be back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine, then. So, just obediently wait for you husband toe back home.¡± Helian Qing stated. ¡°Alright.¡± Han Yang, again, hung up right after he responded. Helian Qing, again, held the phone in hand in shock. He referred to himself thed¡¯s husband, and Han Yang actually responded£¡£¡£¡ ¡°Does this fucker also want make a person not want to go to work?!¡± Helian Qing remained silent for quite a while, before he cursed that sentence through gritted teeth. ** Han Yang did not know for how long Helian Qing would be busy, so he had dinner at the mansion and not long after, Mo Suya had someone drop him back to his home. Back home, Han Yang could sense the diffidence in his steps. He felt that the day had seemed like a dream, a dream that was entirely of Helian Qing. Han Yang had brought Helian Qing¡¯s notebook back with him, the exquisite leather bound book felt heavy in his hands. The tender sentiments contained within that book carried too much weight, so much so, it bore down on his chest, making his heart start to tremble. His fingers slowly dragged against the handwriting on the cover. Han Yang did not know how to describe the surging emotions within his chest. He did his best to rack his mind and for all the words he knew, but just as before, he was unable to find a suitable one to use. They seemed to have their own consciousness which, little by little, gnawed away at his reason, his critical thinking, using those bites to form into the two words ¡°Helian Qing¡±. Helian Qing...... Helian Qing...... His mind waspletely filled with Helian Qing. Han Yang felt he should take a shower to calm himself down. Thus he put the book aside and went to the bathroom. Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] When Helian Qing returned it was past eleven o¡¯clock that night. Han Yang heard the door open, so he immediately hopped off the sofa, dragging the padded quilt with him as he forgot he wore it while he scampered out, stopping dead in his tracks, at the sight of Helian Qing. It¡¯s obvious we just separated this morning, so why does it feel like it¡¯s been a very long time since I saw you? ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Han Yang said. ¡°Mhm.¡± Helian Qing who had lowered his head to change his shoes, lifted it to look at the sound of the other man¡¯s voice, wrinkling his brows at the sight of Han Yang¡¯s bare feet stepping on the floorboards, ¡°Where are your shoes?¡± ¡°Oh... I forgot them.¡± Han Yang replied before making his way to the cab to grab a pair. But, just as he went near Helian Qing, the man stooped, instantly drawing into an embrace. Helian Qing carried the man in his arms into the living room, before resting him on the sofa. Hisrge hands now rubbing thed¡¯s feet, where he discovered they were terribly cold so his tone was unpleasant when he then asked, ¡°Where are your socks?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no reason for me to wear socks at home, it has a heater.¡± Han Yang said as he withdrew his feet, however Helian Qing grabbed them, lifted them onto the sofa, then took the nket nearby to cover him. ¡°Why are you sote?¡± Han Yang asked. ¡°Negotiations took some time.¡± Helian Qing squatted next to the sofa, holding Han Yang¡¯s ankles, rubbing them. As he rubbed each side, he continued, ¡°Next time don¡¯t forget to wear your slippers or else I¡¯ll just chop these off, alright.¡± Han Yang did not contradict his words, he simply looked on at Helian Qing¡¯s profile, prompting his heart to move, causing him to reach out his hand and touch the tip of the man¡¯s nose. His action caused Helian Qing¡¯s hands to stop, as he lifted his head to look at the younger man, ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡± Han Yang pulled his hand back, ¡°I just noticed that your very handsome all of a sudden.¡± Helian Qing scoffed, shamelessly saying, ¡°You just noticed that now? You have such an outstanding man as me, yet you just embrace a pillow. We don¡¯t always have to be at each other¡¯s throats everyday.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Han Yang nodded. ¡°......¡± His frankness made Helian Qing unable to help himself from looking at him from head to toe, ¡°You¡¯re acting weird, did you lose your marbles today?[6]¡± ¡°No, it was something in the soup.¡± Han Yang said, ¡°Something in Chef Helian¡¯s soup.¡± Han Yang took the book from beside him and ced it before Helian Qing, saying, ¡°I brought it back with me.¡± Helian Qing was at first shocked for a couple seconds, following that, he reacted by pulling the book from Han Yang¡¯s hands, fiercely saying, ¡°What the hell, I¡¯m going to take a bath.¡± After which, he wanted to stand up and leave, but Han Yang reached out to grab him, ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so annoying. Just hurry up and get to bed......¡± ¡°Helian Qing.¡± Han Yang cut him off, ¡°Do you like me?¡± Annoyance revealed itself on Helian Qing¡¯s face, then with a coldugh, he taunted, ¡°What are you ying at...¡± His words were cut off, as Han Yang propped himself off the sofa, moved closer to that, yet again, offensive mouth where he ced a kiss. The warm, soft lips against his own, made the book within Helian Qing¡¯s hand fall to the ground, emitting a gentle echo with it¡¯s ¡°thud¡±, his entire being left dumbfounded. Other than that day in the car when they registered their marriage, this was the first time since then that Han Yang himself kissed Helian Qing, as he had never taken the initiative to kiss him. This was because first, Helian Qing had absolutely no need for him to take the initiative, and the second being, he was too embarrassed. This time, his entire core wanted it to be. He truly wanted to kiss Helian Qing. He wanted to so much, he just did it. Han Yang¡¯s skill was quite poor, he had no technique at all as he kissed Helian Qing, so it came off a bit bumpy. He awkwardly used his tongue to trace Helian Qing¡¯s lips, it¡¯s tip searching, wanting to pry his jaw open. This proposed kiss was so unfamiliar, it made Helian Qing¡¯s mind buzz. A hand then seized Han Yang¡¯s waist, the receiver now bing the attacker [7] as he pressed Han Yang onto the sofa, holding himself above him, danger dripping from his tone as he said, ¡°Do you really want to stoke this me?¡± Han Yang swallowed, feeling his throat instantly be dry. His courage from not so long ago, once he noticed the desire within Helian Qing¡¯s eyes, had now disappeared, and was nowhere to be seen. He had now fully transformed into a dried salted fish as he said hoarsely, ¡°Don¡¯t you have to go take a bath? Hurry up and go!!¡± ¡°Alright, a bath it is.¡± Helian Qing nodded, got up, then bent over to lift Han Yang over his shoulder. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Suddenly having his head upside down after being carried over the man¡¯s shoulder, gave Han Yang quite a fright, he used his hands to pound the man¡¯s back, ¡°Let me go, put me down!¡± ¡°What am I doing?¡± Helian Qing smiled grimly, then tossed out the words, ¡°Taking a bath!¡± [T/n: When Han Yang said ¡°Hurry and go!¡± He used ¡°°É¡± to end his sentence which can also mean ¡°let¡¯s¡±, so though he told HLQ to ¡°Go on!¡± Helian Qing twisted his words to mean ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±] Helian Qing carried him to the bathroom right away, using one hand to hold Han Yang¡¯s legs, while the other turned on the faucet of the bathtub. Han Yang now realizing the man¡¯s intention, struggled and wanted to be put down, ¡°Let me down, I already took a bath!¡± Helian Qing, who remained undeterred, still held Han Yang over his shoulder as he gave a tug to thed¡¯s cks, immediately pulling them off. With another tug, his underwear was also shed, exposing a perky butt and slender thighs. ¡°Helian Qing! !¡± Han Yang having his bare buttocks over the man¡¯s shoulder, caused his entire being fill with utter shame and embarrassment, ¡°You, let me go! !¡± ¡°Smack!¡± Helian Qing spanked thed¡¯s butt. The smack emitting a crisp sound. Han Yang¡¯s squirming came to aplete stop, while his face was now practically dripping blood. ......Just let me find a crack to dig my self into! Han Yang hopelessly thought. Helian Qing swiftly pulled the rest of Han Yang¡¯s clothes off and ced him into the tub. From behind him, Han Yang heard the sound of Helian Qing undressing quite clearly in the bathroom. He nervously rubbed his hands together in the water, feeling as if time itself had froze, and he and Helian Qing were the only two people left on earth. Helian Qing got in the tub and sat beside Han Yang. Since the bathtub was quiterge, so even though two people were seated inside of it, there was much more room to spare. Han Yang withdrew from beside him, putting great effort into wanting to shrink himself into a strip of salted fish, wishing to reduce his own existence as much as possible. But it was no use. Helian Qing scoffed, leaned forward onto thed¡¯s back, his lips pressed against the other¡¯s ear as he gently licked it, saying, ¡°Is that all you got?¡± His low, raspy tone carried traces of sensuality, causing Han Yang¡¯s back to go numb, and his hands to grip themselves even more tightly, as heart ¡°ba-thumped¡ª ¡ª¡±, pounding violently, seeming as if it was unable to bear it. ...................................................

Anyway, in his first soup, Helian Qing seemed to focus more on the fortifying benefits of the meal (in ordance with Traditional Chinese Medicine), dried tangerine peels are used to treat gastrointestinal issues. Next, he tried the Pepper Pig Belly, known for warming the stomach (TCM). Lastly, to cater to perfecting a dish perfect for his Little Saltfish¡¯s preference, he tried the DHYR soup, where it¡¯s two herbal ingredients are used to help bnce/strengthen the tummy, with the Astrgus being rmended for people Han Yang¡¯s age, not to mention muttonmb meat is good for people with a weak Yang, and made other soups from there on. So, yeah, he put a lot of thought in those soups, and I really like saying ¡°Pepper Pig Belly¡± [5] a. Êܺ®: being affected by cold. In respect to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has more to do with cold invading the body or a body that lost some of it¡¯s Yang(heat). b. º®Æø: it means cold air/chill.

Chapter 17 part2 Tranted by -[iana]-, read at :anameescans [DOT] wordpress [DOT] Notice1 ______________________________ As he dropped kisses along the younger man¡¯s nape, Helian Qing also drew small mounds of thed¡¯s skin into his mouth ¡ª sucking them, leaving behind tiny traces of red in his wake. Afterwards, his lips travelled downwards, the tip of his tongue gliding down Han Yang¡¯s spine, a trail of moisture left behind it. His hand soon reaching out to draw thatd¡¯s waist towards him, his hands slowly caressing the other¡¯s abdomen, running them all the way down before finallying to a halt at that intimate ce between Han Yang¡¯s legs, where his broad palm soon engulfed it. Feeling that most sensitive ce of his being grasped, Han Yang immediately straightened his back, his legs mping shut out of reflex. Unluckily, they just so happened to have also trapped that teasing hand of Helian Qing¡¯s between them. ¡°Why are you so anxious?¡± Helian Qing asked with a lightugh, before he again buried his head within the hollow of thed¡¯s shoulder, nipping at the rise of his vicle, while his teasing hand began to slide up and down. ¡°... don¡¯t do that...¡± Han Yang whispered, as he did his best to keep control of his own desire. Sadly, the pleasure which came from Helian Qing¡¯s hand simply could not be ignored, so little by little, the longing between his legs rose. Helian Qing turned the smaller man¡¯s body around, tilting his own head to have a good look only to notice the water within the tub concealed some of the scenery, making his view clouded. Crinkling his brows, he simply drained most of the water from the tub, leaving only a shallowyer behind. That remaining amount was now good enough, since it allowed Han Yang¡¯s already erected member to be exposed. Since Han Yang¡¯s skin was fair, and because he rarely did that himself, that organ of his also had a very lightplexion, causing it to appear pristine. Han Yang wanted to pull his legs together. Helian Qing, on the contrary, used his hand to obstruct thed¡¯s efforts, holding onto his ankles, then lifted his left leg over the side of the tub. Such a position had Han Yang¡¯s legs spread wide open, enabling the sight between them to be right in in view. ¡°Helian Qing...¡± Han Yang felt a bit panicked. ¡°Shh...¡± Helian Qing moved closer to thed, lowering his head, but stopped just as he neared the boy¡¯s lips, coaxing, ¡°let me touch it.¡± With those words said, he reached for the tip of Han Yang¡¯s penis, grasped it, then gently be pressed his thumb against its tiny hole a few times, before swirling his finger around its head, urging that ce to very quickly spill its essence by his provocation. At the same time he did this, the movements made by his lips also did not cease, as his tongue twirled nimbly within Han Yang¡¯s mouth, licking up and down, in a this simultaneous attack. ¡°Helian Qing...¡± thed whimpered. ¡°Hush...¡± Helian Qing nibbled on thed¡¯s lips, soon capturing his tongue, sucking it, while the movement of his hand increased rapidly as it held Han Yang¡¯s member, sliding up and down. Being teased from both ends made Han Yang moan, his reason drifting away from him, thus allowing his other leg to open unconsciously. Both his and that man¡¯s tongue tugging at one another in unison. Their lips and tongues winding around each other¡¯s, creating a delicately sweet, wet sound. Helian Qing dragged his tongue at the corner of Han Yang¡¯s lips, proceeding downwards only to pause at the small projection of his left pec. Curling his tongue around that nub, he suddenly began sucking, doing so until that peak was quite red, moist and glossy. ¡°... mnn, aahh...¡± Han Yang gasped from the prickling sensation of his nipple, his arms moving with the intent of pushing Helian Qing¡¯s head away, but that man instead released the small pearl, then continued his descent. That tongue of his persistently licked the entire way down until he came to a stop over thed¡¯s navel. Briefly, he gently caressed that ce with his nose, after which, that trailing tip entered the small crevice, again licking tenderly. The sensitivity of that belly button, was no less than that of his loins, so by this much stimtion, Han Yang¡¯s entire body trembled. While his stomach contracted, he uttered, ¡°... it tickles.¡± [T/n: tickles, could also be itches.] ¡°Really? It just so happens that I have something to relieve your itching.¡± That man only paused briefly before he quickly began licking even deeper, until the entire hole was filled with his tongue. His hands now moved more wantonly as they clutched Han Yang¡¯s stalk, traveling from its tip to its base, from time to time, also kneading those two spheres beneath it. Because of his actions, Han Yang leant on the side of the bathtub, releasing soft whimpers every now and again. Toying with him for a stretch, Helian Qing finally released that pitiful button, but he was not done quite yet. He still journeyed downwards, readily capturing Han Yang¡¯s endowment. ¡°Ngh...¡± Having the head of his dick enclosed by the warmth and moisture of the man¡¯s mouth, made Han Yang grunt. His eyes quickly shot open only to see Helian Qing¡¯s lowered head, and his member being held between the man¡¯s lips. Such a sight caused thed¡¯s blood to run cold. With him wanting to push the man away, but at that very second, Helian Qing took two-thirds of his dick deep into his mouth. The softness of that orifice, as it squeezed his sensitive tip, led to an instantaneous burst of tingling numbness in his brain. His hand stopped midair, as all he manage were moans. The him, who originally wanted to use that hand to push the man away, instead now rested it atop that same man¡¯s shoulder. Helian Qing drew in the other man¡¯s member, attempting to take him deeply in his throat, only to discover it was a bit difficult, so he simply withdrew slightly, as he kept sucking that little head, using his tongue to lick it, while pressing his own tip into the small opening of that head teasingly. His movements were rusty, yet even though they was so, it still made Han Yang unable to endure. ¡°Aahh...¡± his sucking had caused the rims of Han Yang¡¯s eyes to redden, ¡°... enough, Helian Qing...¡± Sensing the organ in his mouth had already been pushed to its limit, the man lifted his head and released it, though his tongue still slid over that little pit. Those dabs caused Han Yang to shiver, as he let out a trembling moan which was well beyond tititing. It was to the extent where the utterance of such a stirring whimper aroused Helian Qing till his manhood erected, wanting so much to immediately do him, but with the fear of such a rash entrance harming Han Yang, he simply chose to firmly reach for the swollen sacks below the quivering man¡¯s shaft, kneading them. Han Yang¡¯s member was now moist and glistening because of that man¡¯s actions, its head tinted with a flush. This previously sporadically trembling member, now bore the appearance of one in need of release. At the man¡¯s touch, Han Yang¡¯s dick shook, impatiently splurting a stream of clouded liquid which fell on top of his abdomen. ¡°Haa...¡± the hazy moan left him at the instant of his release. He now weakly leaned against the bathtub, the satisfaction ofing leaving him in a daze. It was to the point where his hand unconsciously went down to rub his softening manhood, enjoying his unfinished tide. This kind of Han Yang made Helian Qing¡¯s eyes darken. He then leant down to capture Han Yang¡¯s lips, the tip of his tongue seeking entry. Due to his recent climax, the younger man obediently allowed him to enter, even slightly lifting his head so both he and that man could engage in the exchange of the fluids between them. He quite liked kissing Helian Qing, it was very intimate, and very warm. But kissing alone could not satisfy Helian Qing, so aside from their merging lips, one of his hands slid down the curve of thed¡¯s waist, arriving at that ce between his legs where his cheeks parted, lingering, then touching that tight hole hidden inside. Having been soaked in the tub¡¯s water, that ce was somewhat softer, even though it was still quite tight. Helian Qing¡¯s finger just by moving up to touch it, had that ce contracting with urgency and pulled Han Yang, who was utterly immersed in their kiss, back to reality. With him then withdrawing out of reflex to gaze at that man with widened eyes. Lightly pressing his finger over that opening, Helian Qing tilted his head lower to look at Han Yang, ¡°Are you going to push me away?¡± Looking at that man¡¯s face, Han Yang clearly saw the desire and the restraint within his eyes. Both were so powerful, it made one¡¯s heart throb. Still, just like before, that finger of Helian Qing¡¯s pressed against that shameful ce, but he did not take it a step further. It appeared that if thed said no, he would then withdraw right away. In reply, Han Yang stretched his arms around Helian Qing¡¯s neck, burying his head within the man¡¯s shoulder, whispering, ¡°... be gentle. I¡¯m a little scared.¡± Once their cages of desire were opened, they could no longer simply turn back, but could only submit to their instincts, and descend into depravity together. With one of the smaller man¡¯s legs over over the edge of the tub, Helian Qing used a hand to lift Han Yang¡¯s waist, while the other slipped into the tunnel between his legs, entering ¡ª sliding in and out, as it emitted a wet sound. Helian Qing used the water within the tub to his advantage, inserting his finger into Han Yang¡¯s anus, dragging against his inner wall from time to time until he was able to fit three fingers inside before pulling them out. Following that, the bashful hole closed slightly when his fingers were retracted. Helian Qing continued by parting Han Yang¡¯s butt-cheeks, pressing his burgeoning member against that partially contracted entrance, his waist then descending as it sank his huge head inside. The unfamiliar feeling of the foreign object entering him caused Han Yang¡¯s opening to reflexively tighten, clenching thatrge, hard instrument to a stop at his entrance. Helian Qing gritted out a groan at the intensity of the constriction. He did not move, remaining at the opening, before lowering his head and asking huskily, ¡°Do you want to slice off your husband¡¯s during our first time?¡± Han Yang¡¯s cheeks flushed at his words. He wanted to rx, but was unable topose himself, so now he contracted even more, almost to the point of driving the other man insane. Cursing softly, Helian Qing then lifted the younger man¡¯s other leg around his waist, dipping his head to kiss him, while simultaneously inserting his stiffened member into that moist and narrow hole. Due to the sudden plunge, the hands Han Yang rested on top Helian Qing¡¯s shoulders, dug in, leaving a trail of red scars behind them, and almost causing him to bite that man while their tongues were entangled. After that thrust, Helian Qing did not move again. He simply stayed deeply within that moist, warm passageway, before reaching to touch Han Yang¡¯s face, ¡°Is it okay? Does it hurt?¡± Han Yang gasped lightly, unsure of whether or not he should respond. There was definitely pain, since that man¡¯s fingers, while they were in that ce, werepletely different. His was even harder, hotter, filling his gut entirely, and apart from the pain, there was also a bloated sensation. But, even more than those, there was the awareness that he was being possessed. An awareness in knowing, the one who pierced inside him, was Helian Qing. This knowledge made Han Yang¡¯s heart throb. Making it seem as if all of that pain was something he was able to bear. So with such a thought, he leaned upwards and kissed the other man¡¯s lips, whispering, ¡°... it¡¯s okay.¡± That kind of action in Helian Qing¡¯s eyes, was him practically begging to be fucked. Helian Qing started off with small strokes, allowing Han Yang to adapt to his presence. Apart from the insertion, he also kissed Han Yang¡¯s lips, to ease thed¡¯s mood, as well as distract his attention. Such a kiss was quite effective, as Han Yang slowly began to ignore the aching of that ce between his legs, and unconsciously extended his tongue to lick the other man¡¯s lips, imitating the way he had been kissed tenderly. With the help of the water, Helian Qing¡¯s thrusts became much smoother, and it was not long before he felt that passageway¡¯s tissue slowly open up around his dick. The pressure of it wrapping around him was now so pleasurable, it made him release a low growl. After going in and out for a while, Helian Qing held his hardened thing at that rear¡¯s entrance, now feeling as if that ce had gotten much softer, and thus he began to increase his strength. ¡°Aaahh...¡± at Helian Qing¡¯s slowly increasing pace, Han Yang arched his head, letting out a pleasure filled sound in the wake of that man¡¯s thrusts. That leg of his which hung over the side of the tub, eptingly returned to wrap itself around Helian Qing¡¯s waist. A position like that was a lot more beneficial for Helian Qing¡¯s current movements, as he was now clutching onto the other man¡¯s waist, which moved to and fro from his force. He then pulled out his shaft halfway, before driving it inside again, over and over, stimting that narrow little hole between thed¡¯s legs to soften and redden, on ount of his acts. Their love-making while immersed in the water filled bath, resulting in Helian Qing¡¯s thrusting, creating sshes, whose sound echoed throughout the bathroom. Having toyed with him for a while, Helian Qing raised Han Yang to change his position by letting thed sit on hisp. This posture caused his penis to prate the other man even deeper, their lower halves also joining together tightly. With the man¡¯s upward thrust to that ce of his, Han Yang cried out in excitement with his waist was also being made weak, prompting him to support himself by holding onto that man¡¯s chest. ¡°... too deep.¡± He muttered in a daze, as that huge thing bore into him, seeming as if it had directly pushed itself all the way to his deepest parts. Helian Qing was very satisfied by thed¡¯s praise, reaching out to touch his lips, saying, ¡°I can still go a bit deeper.¡± With that said, he thrust his hips upward a few times, each jab targeting the sensitive flesh within Han Yang¡¯s body. ¡°... ah!¡± The pleasure he derived from the head of that man¡¯s dick, as it stabbed the inner part of his passage, made Han Yang¡¯s entire body tingle. His back-end tightened instinctively and his waist jolted uncontrobly by Helian Qing¡¯s thrusts, as his rear rubbed against the man¡¯s groin. Hispliance made Helian Qing pause his movements, following which, he drilled with even more ferocity. His hands kneading thed¡¯s butt, mercilessly pushing into that tight, wet, little hole. ¡°Helian... Qing...¡± the force of his thrusts made Han Yang¡¯s legs tremble, as he intermittently called out the man¡¯s name. ¡°What did you call me?¡± Helian Qing nibbled on his nipple out of dissatisfaction, the sound of sucking proceeding his actions. ¡°... mmnnh...¡± Han Yang clutched the other man¡¯s head, ¡°Qing¡¯er...¡± Helian Qing gave an abrupt thrust, his lower head stabbing into that soft ce wretchedly, saying, ¡°What did you call me?¡± as he jabbed him. From within that hole came a satiating prickling which had Han Yang¡¯s brain all muddled. He still held onto that man¡¯s neck, dazedly crying out, ¡°Qing G¨¦ge...¡± [T/n: G¨¦ge = Princess] The sound of that ¡°Qing G¨¦ge¡± was said so vaguely it could not be heard clearly. Therefore, it appeared as if he had said ¡°Qing G¨¥ge¡±, which made Helian Qing¡¯s member tremble. {T/n: G¨¥ge = Oppa [1]} ¡°... little bastard.¡± Helian Qing cursed, ¡°I¡¯m going to fuck the life out of you.¡± He pinched Han Yang¡¯s bum fiercely before pressing thed down once more, pulled out his penis from that passage, then thrusting that member inside once again. Thatrge, stiff thing rammed into the soft ¡ª wet tunnel, all the way to its deepest part, stroking with vigor. The pleasure feeling as if an electrical current shot through every inch of the two, giving them both unending gratification. ¡°Ah...¡± such an intense effort made Han Yang shriek. He clutched the rim of the bathtub with both hands, his toes trembling, curling. ¡°Again, cry out again!¡± Helian Qing¡¯s hip shook rapidly, as he pounded into Han Yang, his dick driving to that ce¡¯s limit, hitting thed¡¯s prostate, again and again. Every time he thrust inside, that passage¡¯s tender lining would tightly enclose him. That soft, slippery ce, felt so amazinglyfortable, he very much wanted to bury himself there forever. ¡°...¡± Han Yang bit his lips firmly, refusing to let out another embarrassing cry, while he felt his lower half experience a prickling numbness due to Helian Qing¡¯s assault. But... it was too stimting... too satisfying... A ce like this was clearly not used for coption [2], but because of the immense pleasure which arose from such a seamless insertion into it, as well as that sturdy tool seeming as if it wanted to bury itself within him and fuse them both together, to where the frequent pulsationsing from it¡¯s surface, were all distinctly felt by him. Along with, every single time, it rubbed against his inner wall, that thing aroused an irresistible limpness, bringing a faint itch, which altogether smashed Han Yang¡¯s rationality to pieces. ¡°Aah... Helian... Qing... gentle... a bit gentler...¡± Han Yang was unable to help cry out in the end. His grip on the edge of tub now released so he could cover his eyes, as he ignored his own broken voice and drowned himself in the passionate tide of desire within. ¡°You really are hard to please.¡± Helian Qingined, yet his waist obediently slowed its pace. His head, again, lowered to ce a kiss upon those lips of Han Yang¡¯s, reddened from thed¡¯s own biting, licking them lightly as added,¡±The one fucking you, is me. What sense does it make to bite yourself like this, huh?¡± The meaning behind those words was him allowing Han Yang to bite him instead. So Han Yang was very eager to give the man face, grabbing the other¡¯s hand and mping down ¡ª not that hard, but enough to leave bite-marks. Helian Qing gazed at the tooth-marks on his hand,ughing gently, ¡°You¡¯ve still got some strength it seems, let¡¯s save it for something else, yeah?¡± With that said, he lifted Han Yang¡¯s leg over his shoulder, and again thrust his stiffened member into the other man. Entering from such a position was even easier, to the point where the hair at the base of his shaft had stuck to Han Yang¡¯s butt. Thed cried out, wanting to take his leg down, but Helian Qing¡¯s next surge of attack had begun. Its strength so fierce, he had forgotten what he ever wanted to do, as all he could now do was moan. ¡°Haa...mnn...nngh...¡± His dick did not stop drilling into that narrow little hole. Upon its entrance, the friction caused that ce¡¯s softened tissue to redden, and every instance where he pulled out, that soft ce seemed to have also been brought out before it was again sent back in, the entire sight appearing exceptionally erotic. Helian Qing¡¯s swollen sack pped against thed¡¯s ass, creating a symphony of sounds when apanied by Han Yang¡¯s impatient moans. It was all enough to cause a person blush incessantly. By the movement of those two men, the water inside the tub sloshed, falling all over both of their bodies, but neither of the men cared as they were both immersed in the act of love making. Han Yang had alreadye twice, his dick was now trembling pitifully, as its head could only let out sporadic bursts of semen. Issuing a few powerful thrusts, Helian Qing also felt he too was nearing that critical point, now pulled his member from that wet hole. At that tool¡¯s separation from that ce, he let out a faint groan, releasing a fine strand of silver. He then took his flourishing member, pressed it against Han Yang¡¯s to rub them both together with haste, before finally growling lowly as he shot off on top of the younger man¡¯s abdomen. His thick semen dripped between those pale abs. Helian Qing then released several loads before he finished, however, that rigid member of his did not softenpletely at all. Han Yang unfurled his legs from the man¡¯s waist, leaning them against the tub weakly. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes filled with a teary mist, as he now stared at that man absentmindedly. That kind of small animal-like look, made Helian Qing unable to resist, urging his just emptied member to raise its head once more. Pinching Han Yang¡¯s chin lightly, he lowered himself to kiss him fiercely, his tone relentless, as he asked, ¡°What are you looking at? Do you want your husband to fuck you a second time?¡± Han Yang recalled his, very recent, debauched appearance, his face growing hot as he stammered, ¡°What nonsense are you spouting? Let me go.¡± ¡°Tsk, it wasn¡¯t that long ago that you were crying out desperately in my arms, but now that the pleasure is finished, you¡¯re just going to kick me out.¡± Helian Qing did not release him, and instead took hold of Han Yang¡¯sid member, giving it a squeeze. This situation was so intense, it made Han Yang¡¯s legs weaken, his waist also faltered. His only option was to re and curse, spitting out the four words, ¡°Son of a bitch!¡± It was Helian Qing¡¯s first time hearing Han Yang curse someone. After staring at him for while, he could not help butugh. Whenughing, that man was indeed very handsome. Han Yang, who had never seen himugh with such ack of restraint, for a while, simply gazed at him, forgetting entirely what he was about to say. After he was doneughing, Helian Qing scooped Han Yang into his arms, kissing him for a bit with all his might, then said, ¡°Yep, this ¡®son of a bitch¡¯ is your husband.¡± After which, he bowed to bite one of thed¡¯s nipples that was already swollen from his sucking, ¡°You know, when it¡¯s swollen like this it looks like a red bean, it looks really good.¡± That statement made the lost spirit of Han Yang¡¯s return, as he pped the man¡¯s hand, ¡°Let go!¡± Helian Qing scoffed, ¡°Today, I¡¯ll let you off, because in the future, there¡¯ll be other opportunities.¡± Han Yang, ¡°...¡± My butt hurts, is it possible for me to return this... The answer to that is, no. Dried Salted Fish can only obediently be eaten after all~ ...........................................................

Sex = procreation, was how he was raised. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The following day, Helian Qing took Han Yang to the Traditional Chinese Medical Clinic for his appointment. During the car ride, Han Yang could not help himself from asking, ¡°Helian Qing, why are you so good to me?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m a good man.¡± Helian Qing stated in all seriousness. ¡°Seriously.¡± Han Yang was speechless. ¡°It¡¯s because you¡¯re irritating.¡± Helian Qing shot him a cold nce, ¡°Your pain-filled groans are so noisy.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t groan, alright.¡± Han Yang retorted. It was still not the coldest time as yet, and his legs did not have much of an aching feeling. Furthermore, even if it was that time, he could still endure it. He certainly did not believe Helian Qing did so for those reasons, but regardless of what they really were, it was all okay, but he would just keep that to himself. Having arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicinal Clinic, Helian Qing stopped the car, and he went in with Han Yang. Since they had made an appointment with Chen Qingqing, the two followed the nurse to her office. In her office, Chen Qingqing was currently writing something down. Upon seeing the two enter, she put away her pen, stood up, then smiled, ¡°You can bothe in.¡± She was roughly between thirty to forty years of age, had cropped hair, wore rimless sses, and appeared very friendly. ¡°Doctor Chen.¡± Helian Qing nodded to her in greeting, with Han Yang also following suit to say hello. ¡°Hello you two, please have a seat.¡± Chen Qingqing directed them to their seats with a wave of her hand Helian Qing patted Han Yang, sitting together with him. ¡°Please, exin the situation to me.¡± Chen Qingqing asked. Han Yang exined the matter himself, with Chen Qingqing taking notes as she listened across from them, asking a few key questions in between. After she was done with her notes, she put away her book, got up, then said, ¡°I¡¯ll take a look at you in the physiotherapy room right next door.¡± Han Yang not knowing how critical his condition was, followed her to the physiotherapy room, with Helian Qing. Because he was to receive acupuncture, the pants he had worn were too thick, and as a result inconvenient, so Han Yang changed into a pair of shorts he had prepared beforehand. Following this, Chen Qingqing asked him toy down on the bed. She came then came closer to Han Yang, squeezed his knee, asking, ¡°Compared to normal, where does it hurt?¡± Han Yang sat up, pointing to a few ces for her to see. Nodding, Chen Qingqing proceeded to press a few acupuncture points on his leg, asking whether or not he felt anything with each one she pressed. When she pressed a certain acupoint, Han Yang¡¯s brows wrinkled slightly, and Helian Qing rubbed the back of his hands tofort him. ¡°It shakes, and feels like I¡¯m being stabbed by nails.¡± Han Yang described, ¡°When it¡¯s serious, I can¡¯t move my legs that much.¡± ¡°What measures did you take when it got to that stage?¡± Chen Qingqing inquired. ¡°Medicated sters (pain relief patches), or medicinal liquor rubs.¡± Han Yang exined. This was due to those methods being the simplest and cheapest ones to deal with it. Chen Qingqing jotted down Han Yang¡¯s condition, saying, ¡°Ointments like those can only relieve symptoms, and they won¡¯t address the root cause. In addition, a condition such as yours became this severe due to it being dyed treatment for so long.¡± ¡°Then I...¡± ¡°How should we treat it?¡± Helian Qing asked, his brows knitted. ¡°Today the first step will be acupuncture, we¡¯ll arrange the next course of treatmentter.¡± Chen Qingqing exined, ¡°Have you ever had acupuncture treatments before?¡± ¡°No.¡± Han Yang shook his head. ¡°There might be some pain with some of your acupuncture points, but it¡¯ll get better after you¡¯re used to it.¡± Chen Qingqing called in the nurse, ordering somethings after she arrived, again saying to Han Yang, ¡°Please, lie down.¡± Han Yang did as she instructed andid down, where beside him, Helian Qing remained. Chen Qingqing exined in simple terms some of the effects the acupuncture treatment would have, chatting beside him so his mood would lighten, and to prevent him from being nervous during his first time in getting the treatment. However, during the course of the treatment she discovered Helian Qing was probably the one who was more nervous. Every time she stuck in a needle to stimte an acupuncture point, when Han Yang crinkled his brows from the pain, Helian Qing¡ªfrom beside him¡ªwould rub between his brows, whispering to him to rx, though his voice clearly sounded like he was the one who was even more anxious. At the end of the injections, Han Yang¡¯s forehead had produced a thin film of sweat. In truth, he could not really say if there was much pain. Though some of the acupoints stung, most simply tingled, and whenpared to his re-ups, they were a lot better. It was probably the first time he tried something he was kind of not used to. Helian Qing took a paper towel, helping him by wiping away his sweat, very gently. This act made Han Yang recall that time Helian Qing looked after him all night and wiped his sweat away when he was hospitalized with gastroenteritis. ¡°How was it?¡± Helian Qing noticed his eyes were fixed on him. ¡°You look really good.¡± Han Yang smiled, reaching out to smoothen Helian Qing¡¯s brows. Helian Qing¡¯s hand stopped, his gaze on him. Han Yang smiled, hooked his finger, asking, ¡°Do you want to have a few injections too?¡± ¡°Me?¡± Helian Qing raised his brows, ¡°Where would I get them?¡± ¡°Your shoulders? Or, perhaps, your spine?¡± Han Yang thought for a moment, continuing, ¡°How about your waist. You said you sit in the office everyday, so those ces ought to have given you a bit of trouble.¡± Letting out a breath, Helian Qing turned to see Chen Qingqing¡¯s back facing them as she arranged some things, then lowered his to quickly peck Han Yang on his lips before whispering, ¡± My back is just fine. Aren¡¯t you the one who should know that best? Yeah?¡± Han Yang replied at once, ¡°You scoundrel!¡± He was only expressing concern towards Helian Qing, and not expecting Helian Qing to actually be that kind of Qing G¨¦ge! [T/n: Princess] ¡°Mmhm.¡± Helian Qing groaned merrily. Having not the slightest feeling of anything he did being inappropriate. The actions of those two just so happened to have fallen into the view of a mirror Chen Qingqing was next to, as her hands stopped, and a smile shed within her eyes. She had known about Helian Qing and Han Yang beingwful husbands from her younger brother, and so had absolutely no feeling their actions were inappropriate. To say the least, she seemed to have found the two to be very well matched. Done with arranging the items, she went over to check Han Yang¡¯s leg, asking,¡±How does it feel?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a little numbness.¡± Han Yang answered. ¡°That¡¯s a normal reaction.¡± Chen Qingqing said smilingly, ¡°Acupuncture alone is not enough though, so in a little while I¡¯ll teach you a few simple massaging techniques to rub them with when you have some free time. It¡¯ll be good for your legs.¡± ¡°Teach it to me.¡± Helian Qing said from beside him, ¡°I¡¯ll help him massage them.¡± Han Yang looked up at him, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself, you have to go to...¡± Helian Qing used his hand to cover the younger man¡¯s mouth, obstructing his speech while saying to Chen Qingqing, ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Chen.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. I¡¯ll be next door in my office, so if there¡¯s anything, just call me.¡± After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, she exited the physiotherapy room. Only two people remained in that room. Han Yang blinked his eyes, opened his mouth, then lightly nipped on Helian Qing¡¯s palm. Helian Qing moved his hand, pinching Han Yang¡¯s mouth as he bent his to look down at him, ¡°You usually eat hormones (steroids) [1], don¡¯t you? It looks like you have the courage to blow a balloon [2].¡± [T/n: blow balloon = BJ] That man¡¯s turning of words against him was the courageous thing, was it not? Due to his pinched lips, Han Yang inartictely patted on the ttery, ¡°It¡¯s mainly Master Helian who pampers me well.¡± Helian Qing groaned faintly, very much satisfied by his ttery. He released thed¡¯s mouth, moving to the foot of the bed before leaning over to look at the needle pricks on Han Yang¡¯s legs, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Han Yang angled his head to peek at him as he wasid down, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that a moment ago?¡± Helian Qing gently rubbed his legs, nting his head to look at him as he said, ¡°That¡¯s what you say to other people. In front of me, you can admit that you¡¯re hurting.¡± The tenderness held within his gaze was so incredibly mesmerising, Han Yang felt as if he was enveloped in the warmth of the man¡¯s feelings, simr to the first rays of sunshine of Spring. Never before had someone said such words in such a manner to Han Yang. It appeared like he could hand over all his pain to that man. Looking at said man in the face, Han Yang mumbled, ¡°If I were in pain, what would you do?¡± Helian Qing drew back his hand, returned to his side, held himself up while resting a hand beside thed¡¯s ear, lowering his head. With a shadow now cast over his eyes, Han Yang lifted his chin by a fraction as Helian Qing descended to kiss his lips, softly¡ªgently. ¡°Everything will be okay.¡± Han Yang heard Helian Qing¡¯s voice, which did nothing to mask its adoration, echo beside his ear. It made a light whimper escape him in response, his hand reaching out to gently embrace the man¡¯s back. After the needles were pulled out, both of thed¡¯s legs had a numb feeling, but there was also a painful bloated sensation. ¡°Your next appointment has been set, so if you out want to reschedule just give me a call in advance.¡± Chen Qingqing said while touching Han Yang¡¯s knee, ¡°And be careful not to catch a cold, be even more careful than usual.¡± ¡°Okay. ¡± Han Yang nodded. ¡°In addition, just being fed medicinal foods is not good enough,ter I¡¯ll give a TCM decoction for you to drink. This is also a vital part of your recovery, remember to abstain from certain foods.¡± Chen Qingqing urged him, ¡°Tomorrow when you twoe back, I¡¯ll teach both of you how to do the massages.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you Dr. Chen.¡± Han Yang thanked sincerely. ¡°Thank you.¡± Helian Qing also said in gratitude. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Chen Qingqing replied. It was presently nearing the end of December. L-City¡¯s temperature was lower, and just as the two exited the Doctor¡¯s Office, a gust of cold air attacked their faces. Helian Qing held Han Yang in ce, ¡°You should wait go wait inside. I¡¯ll go bring the car over.¡± He wanted to go right after speaking, but Han Yang quickly pulled him to a stop, saying, ¡°It¡¯s not that far away. It¡¯s fine if I just go with you.¡± Helian Qing swept his eyes back at him, ¡°Go inside.¡± Han Yang paid him no mind, and instead grabbed then spread the man¡¯s finger¡¯s open to fasten them to his own, ¡°I want to go together with you.¡± ... You¡¯re so goddamn irresistible! Helian Qing cursed internally. A hand stretched behind his back, holding Han Yang¡¯s hand nestled within his own palm, as he led the him to the parking lot. Following behind him, Han Yang¡¯s eyes curved into a smile. The next day, at the same time, Helian Qing and Han Yang again went to the Doctor¡¯s Office. During Han Yang¡¯s acupuncture session, Helian Qing was beside Chen Qingqing learning the massage techniques. He studied quite earnestly, and apart from the position of acupoints, the massage¡¯s finger technique as well as the strength to be applied, were both confirmed with Chen Qingqing. Han Yang, who wasying on the bed, craned his neck in order to look at the earnestly studying Helian Qing, and thinking that he was outrageously cool. The thought of that man belonging to him, for a reason unknown to him, just made him feel likeughing. ¡°You possess such an outstanding man as myself, and yet you just embrace your pillow and chuckle.¡± Recalling those shameless words of Helian Qing¡¯s, Han Yang really did end up burying his face in a pillow while heughed. Thisughter, caused the two people busy with teaching and learning beside him to turn towards him in unison. Han Yang covered his mouth, waving his hand as he said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, you two don¡¯t have to pay attention to me.¡± Helian Qing looked him in the eye, then lowered his head and continued to study. Han Yang unexpectedly discovered he knew what that look meant: Did the acupuncture needle prick go all the way up to your brain? Being in possession such a cheap-mouthed, tsundere of a man as a husband, in the end, should Iugh or cry, huh? Han Yang ultimately still pressed his face into the pillow, hiding his smile. Before they left, Chen Qingqing said to Helian Qing, ¡°More practice is needed for the massages to be effective. If you don¡¯t understand something, you can ask me about it tomorrow.¡± Helian Qing nodded, then left with Han Yang after thanking her. That very same night after their return, Helian Qing followed the doctor¡¯s orders, pressing Han Yang onto the bed, and carefully putting into practice the sentence ¡°More practice is needed for the massages to be effective¡±. It was just that he did not squeeze his leg, but rather a ce that cannot be described. ¡°...Ngh!¡± The feeling of his waist going limp made Han Yang grunt. Both of his hands were pinned at the head of the bed by Helian Qing, while he wriggled incessantly, ¡°Hurry and let me go! You bastard!¡± Helian Qing used one hand to secure both of Han Yang¡¯s wrists, while the other lightly pressed the dimples of his lower back, using his thumb to gently caress the skin there a few times every now and again. Hearing Han Yang curse at him, he tsked, ¡°You¡¯re cursing here and there, so are the two words, bastard and scoundrel, all there is?¡± His fingers seemed as if they carried an electrical current, bringing a trail of sparks along Han Yang¡¯s waist. By that man¡¯s actions, Han Yang had his entire body go weak, with him again being left with no other recourse, thus could only begrudgingly say, ¡°Did Dr. Chen teach you massages to enable you to do this to me? You have no sense of shame!¡± ¡°Huh? A sense of shame?¡± Helian Qing pressed himself closer to him. His hand lingering at thed¡¯s waist soon entering his pajama bottoms, covering those soft cheeks, pinching them softly as he spoke, ¡°Then what¡¯s this thing to be used for, huh? Is it to be sucked [3]? Or, is it to be fucked [4]?¡± Shocked at Helian Qing¡¯s level of shamelessness, Han Yang twisted his head to look at that man, utterly speechless! Where the hell did this man learn such words, huh! His wide-eyed expression looked so incredibly adorable in Helian Qing¡¯s eyes, that he simply unable to help himself from moving forward to kiss him, while his fingers rhythmically kneaded the other man¡¯s behind, whispering, ¡°Dr. Chen said the massage technique needs a lot of practice to be effective and I learnt it for you, so it¡¯s natural that I would use it on your body, don¡¯t you think?¡± You were better off not learning it!! Han Yang crumbled internally. ¡°We still have a lot of time, so let¡¯s try out another technique.¡± Helian Qing pulled down thed¡¯s pajama pants, parting his legs then ran his fingers upwards from his thigh. Gently nibbling on Han Yang¡¯s earlobe, he coaxed gently, ¡°Darling, open your legs a little.¡± ¡°......¡± On the bed, Han Yang who wasying on his stomach, rolled his eyes, and regarded himself as a strip of dried salted fish. And so, that strip of salted fish, was sauteed over... and over... again~ ................................................ Notes: [1] ¼¤ËØ: j¨©s¨´: hormone.

[4] žžž: p¨¡p¨¡p¨¡: it¡¯s also an onomatopoeia, to refer to the act of sexual intercourse.?? (It¡¯s a SFX for ms, pats, or ¡°pows¡± etc, so it doesn¡¯t always refer to sex, btw) Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Your trantor here. It makes more sense to put this in the beginning than the end so please note the following. Han Yang¡¯s dorm family: Lao is used as a prefix to indicate the order of birth. So here¡¯s the dorm brothers in order. 1 ¨C She Zhang/Laoda (Laoda means the eldest child, or the leader, i.e. No. 1) 2 ¨C Lao¡¯er (No. 2) 3 ¨C Laosan (this would be Han Yang¡¯s position. No. 3) 4 ¨C Laosi (No. 4) (er = 2, san = 3, si = 4) That¡¯s it! Read on~ _____________________________________ From then on, Han Yang would go to Chen Qingqing¡¯s ce for his acupuncture treatment, and unless he was otherwise too busy to leave his work, Helian Qing would apany him there as well. Helian Qing had been quite swift in his learning of the massage techniques, so much so, that Chen Qingqinguded him and even hinting he possessed a natural talent for it. This praise resulted in Helian Qing showing a rarely ever seen modest face, while Han Yang, who was beside them, rolled his eyes internally. Helian Qing has not one ounce of ¡°natural talent¡±! It¡¯s all because of his ¡°training¡±!!! That same day, after ss, while Han Yang, She Zhang and the other guys went downstairs, She Zhang proposed, ¡°I heard there¡¯s a new buffet that opened in Dongmen, so why don¡¯t we all find some time to go eat there. All of us should eat a delicious meal before our exams begin!¡± ¡°Why not tomorrow?¡± Lao¡¯er suggested. ¡°Yeah! We¡¯re all a bunch of single fes anyways.¡± Laosi chimed in. ¡°That¡¯s not true. A¡¯Yang here has a significant other [1].¡± Lao¡¯er said, correcting him. ¡°A¡¯Yang, you should bring our sister-inw along. You already rush back home everyday to make dinner, it¡¯s like you¡¯ve been whipped [2]!¡± She Zhang added. ¡°Exactly! And the worst part is, you haven¡¯t even let us meet them yet!¡± Laosi whined. Han Yang having a partner was something all the dorm brothers had known about, after all, he had already moved out for a while now. But from the beginning, they had all believed it was a cute, youngdy. Seeing them in such high spirits, Han Yang unexpectedly found himself feeling the opposite. Thinking about it for a while, he then said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask him if he has some free time after I go back tonight, work has been quite busy for him in thest few days.¡± [T/n: he/him (Ëû-t¨¡) and her/she (Ëý-t¨¡) sound the same. HY said ¡°he¡± but they assume ¡°her¡±] ¡°Huh?! Sister-inw is working already?¡± She Zhang said in awe. ¡°Wait, so it turns out she¡¯s really a mature¡ªsexy woman [3], and not a cute, young girl?¡± Laosi questioned. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder then...¡± Lao¡¯er thought, pointedly looking the traces of red lining Han Yang¡¯s neck, ¡°That Big Sis is a bit fierce [4], isn¡¯t she!¡± Those, aforementioned, marks on his neck were left by Helian Qing the night before. Ever since the two consummated their rtionship, that man was no different than a dog as he made all manner of marks on Han Yang¡¯s body. It was almost as if he was using his teeth the write the name ¡°Master Helian¡± all over thed¡¯s skin. With his ears tinting red, Han Yang coughed lightly to mask his embarrassment, he then pulled up his shirt¡¯s cor, only saying, ¡°It¡¯s actually not an older woman.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not an older woman?¡± Laosi asked, ¡°So... is she a cute girl then?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just gonna say, A¡¯Yang doesn¡¯t look like the type who¡¯ll like older¡ª¡± ¡°Um, he¡¯s a man.¡± Han Yang interrupted them. Every single one of them collectively became silent. After a few seconds, they all shouted in shock, ¡°What the fuck?!!¡± Han Yang looked at the astonished looks drawn on all of their faces in satisfaction, his mood was now especially pleasant, ¡°I¡¯ll ask him when I get back then give you guys the answer, okay? I¡¯ll leave first.¡± His words said, Han Yang left in a different direction, as the school¡¯s gate and the dormitory were not the same way. Following his departure, the otherds had their senses return, unitedly saying, ¡°This fucker is ahead of the times!!¡± As Han Yang went out the school¡¯s gate, he saw Helian Qing¡¯s car was already waiting there. His steps sped up as he walked over, opening the car¡¯s door then going in. Inside the car, the heating was turned on, so Han Yang flipped his upturned cor back down, ¡°Did you wait very long? ¡°No, I just got here. Where¡¯s your scarf?¡± Helian Qing asked, since he had especially given Han Yang a scarf to take with him that morning before they left. ¡°It¡¯s in my bag. The ssroom wasn¡¯t cold, so I didn¡¯t have to wear it.¡± Han Yang saw the slight wrinkling of the man¡¯s brows, and so he changed the topic, ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± ¡°Just don¡¯t go rubbing your snot on me when you catch a cold.¡± Helian Qing scoffed at his diversion. ¡°...It was just that one time, that was it. There¡¯s no point in bickering about it now, alright?¡± Han Yang rubbed his nose. Thest time he had caught a cold, he was not careful holding in his snot when he went to bed and ended up rubbing some of it in Helian Qing¡¯s stomach. This matter is what Helian Qing grabbed as an opportunity to tease him. Saying nothing in response, Helian Qing simply reached for the air-conditioning control to increase the temperature a little. As they ate that evening, Han Yang mentioned what She Zhang and the others said about having a group dinner. As Helian Qing listened to his recount, his entire being became unhappier. With a darkened face, he asked, ¡°Was thest time not enough for you?¡± That previous urrence, which resulted in his hospitalisation, was already a long gone issue, but Helian Qing still remembered it clearly. For a while, Han Yang was left speechless due to his own embarrassment before he added, ¡°That time was an ident. We won¡¯t be going to that diner and...¡± Han Yang paused, ¡°they said that they really want to meet you.¡± ¡°Meet me? What reason is there for me to want to meet with them?¡± Helian Qing raised his brows, giving an ¡°Am I so easy to meet?¡± kind of look. You want me to coax you, huh. One look at that expression of his, and Han Yang instantly understood. ¡°They were all my ymates rather than just being my good ssmates, so when I lived with them in the dormitory they took really good care of me. Plus, when they heard I had a partner, they wanted to meet you.¡± Han Yang carefully observed Helian Qing¡¯s expression after he spoke. Seeing that man was still unmoved, he added, ¡°I also told them you¡¯re a man. An especially handsome man, who treats me especially well.¡± With his vanity fully satisfied from thed¡¯s words, Helian Qing said mercifully, ¡°Oh. Well, since I have been sought out in such a manner, tomorrow I will have a reservation arranged.¡± You really have no shame, don¡¯t you. Han Yang thought to himself, stealthily making a victory sign [?] under the table, saying, ¡°Yeah, you can arrange it.¡± That night, just as Han Yang was telling She Zhang they would be having their dinner the following evening, Helian Qing pressed him down onto their bed¡ªthe call still ongoing¡ªthe act causing the phone to fall beside them. Helian Qing used one of his hands to pin thed¡¯s over his head, towering above him as he said arrogantly, ¡°Who said you can talk to other men on the phone sote at night, mn?¡± Han Yang wriggled in an attempt to free his trapped wrists, only to discover that man¡¯s strength was substantial, so he then said, ¡°I was only telling him at what time we¡¯ll be having dinner tomorrow.¡± Helian Qing ignored his exnation, and instead used his other hand to lift Han Yang¡¯s shirt, lowering his head in aim of the little protrusion on the other man¡¯s chest, the tip of his tongue drawing it into a kiss. Han Yang drew in a breath, wanting to use his foot to push the other away, but just as he moved, that man used his own leg to pin him. This made Han Yang quickly say, ¡°Don¡¯t be a pain! I haven¡¯t hung up the phone as yet!!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so troublesome.¡± Helian Qing nipped that tip on his chest as punishment. He then reached for thed¡¯s phone, picked it up, ending the call before turning it off. ¡°...¡± At the other end of the line, and long stupefied, She Zhang remained without any reaction for quite a while. ¡°What happened? What did A¡¯Yang say?¡± Lao¡¯er asked. ¡°Laoda, why is your face red?¡± Laosi asked. [T/n: Laoda is She Zhang] ¡°It seems... our brother-inw¡¯s [5] possessive desire is a bit... exceptional. Big bro has also made some arrangements for tomorrow¡¯s dinner...¡± She Zhang now gazed towards the heavens. ¡°......¡± [T/n: Big bro = Helian Qing] ** Since he heard Han Yang¡¯s ssmates wanted to eat at a buffet, the next day, Helian Qing specifically exined to Xiao Chen that he should find an incredibly good and popr buffet style restaurant. That same afternoon, after their ss, Han Yang along with She Zhang and the other two guys, waited for Helian Qing at the school¡¯s gate. Each one of them was holding in their excitement for that well-known, but not met as yet, partner of Han Yang¡¯s. While they were chatting, She Zhang saw a car approach them. Patting the shoulder of Laosi, who stood beside him, he said, ¡°Hey look, that car is so cool!¡± ¡°Oh lord! So cool!¡± Laosi also looked towards it. Just as the were done talking, that cool car slowed down, then came to a stop right in front of them, it¡¯s driver¡¯s side window opening not long after. From the driver¡¯s seat, Helian Qing said to Han Yang, ¡°Get in.¡± Han Yang smiled, ¡°Okay.¡± She Zhang, ¡°...¡± Lao¡¯er, ¡°...¡± Laosi, ¡°...¡± The interior of Helian Qing¡¯s car was quite spacious, so when She Zhang and those two other guys all sat together in the backseat, they looked not one bit cramped as they faced that legendary ¡°Brother-inw¡±, who possessed a very strong desire, with the traces of apprehension and caution dwelling within their hearts. Helian Qing. This name, if they were paying even the tiniest bit of attention to the news stemming from the business world, is one they would have known of, don¡¯t you think? After all, the aplishments of the Helian Group¡¯s most prominent figure had nothing if not a reputation for very rarely being anything but formidable. Yet he was actually Han Yang¡¯s partner! This revtion practically caused them to be utterly astounded, would it not? They, who had originally thought of Han Yang being made into the emperor¡¯s son-inw, now saw that it appeared he was being made a into Queen! She Zhang, along with the other fes, kept those ¡°gobsmacked¡± expressions of theirs until the car arrived at the restaurant¡¯s entrance, and this state did not entirely recover until the vehicle came to aplete stop. Turning around to them, Han Yang announced, ¡°We¡¯re getting out, okay?¡± After that, the three men tottered weightlessly, as they entered entered the restaurant. During their meal, those three fellows were again dealt a flourishing blow by Helian Qing. It started when Han Yang went to take a couple shrimps for his te, but just as they were ced onto it, Helian Qing put them back. ¡°You can¡¯t eat cold things.¡± Helian Qing stated. ¡°I only want to eat a little. I already stayed away from them for so long.¡± Han Yang said as he tugged on the hem of Helian Qing¡¯s jacket, pleading, ¡°Can I just have a couple?¡± Helian Qing looked down, pulling off those two fingers which belonged to thed which were pinching his clothes. Han Yang, ¡°...¡± She Zhang, standing beside them, could not bear to look directly at the two, so he took his te to the other side. After they got to the dinner table, Helian Qing did not let Han Yang drink anything cold, nor eat anything spicy. This left everyone else extremely puzzled by those actions of his, but after hearing Han Yang exin he was taking medicine to heal his stomach, they finally understood. Next, Helian Qing helped Han Yang peel those two shrimps, an act which made each of those guys¡¯ eyes pop! This man, seen as highly superior and untouchable by all, was currently skillfully peeling the shells off of those shrimps. Not only that, but the way he peeled them was like he had done so thousands of times, caused the entirety of those boys¡¯ beings to descend into chaos. When the dinner was over, She Zhang and the other two were taken back to the university. Once out of the car, Helian Qing rolled down his window and said, ¡°Thank you all for taking care of Han Yang for me.¡± ¡°For me¡± those two words were theplete embodiment of Helian Qing¡¯s possessive desire, and they were no different than him saying: From now on, it¡¯s none of your business. Regarding such a sentiment, they tactfully responded, ¡°Thanks aren¡¯t necessary. Han Yang will be entrusted to your care from now on.¡± Han Yang, ¡°...¡± Very pleased by their reply, Helian Qing nodded, saying, ¡°I heard Han Yang mention you were all looking for internships, and there just so happens to be a mediapany under the Helian Group who are currently recruiting interns.¡± All three were stunned at once, their immediate reaction was as if they had won the lottery! A media house under the Helian Group!! That was not a ce one can enter merely because one wanted to, and having a top-level boss give the say-so was practically like opening a direct route there! ¡°We are very grateful to you!!¡± The three said in unison, ¡°We wish you an A¡¯Yang a hundred years of marital bliss!! May your child be birthed soon!! [6]¡± ¡°With pleasure.¡± Helian Qing graced them with his first smile of that day, clearly extremely satisfied by those well-wishes. Han Yang, ¡°...¡± May your child be birthed soon, what the hell! Weren¡¯t you guys bought too quickly? Don¡¯t you guys have a bit of integrity! Later that night, Helian Qing helped Han Yang massage his legs, turning him over not long after, then continued to massage his ck. ¡°Have thepanies been under your group been looking for internshipstely?¡± Han Yangy on his stomach, head on his pillow, while he chatted with him. ¡°If I say recruit, they¡¯ll recruit.¡± Master Helian stated. ¡°Then recruit me! I want an internship too.¡± Han Yang implored. ¡°Alright. There just so happens to be a position which will suit you quite well.¡± Helian Qing replied frankly. ¡°Really? What position?¡± Han Yang was, of course, quite suspicious by his quick agreement. Stroking his hand along Han Yang¡¯s back, Helian Qing lowered himself to kiss the other man¡¯s ear, saying, ¡°The President¡¯s Personal Secretary. They¡¯d be exempt from all training, and will be given a job straight away.¡± Han Yang knew that man had no intention of saying anything good, turned to look at said man with a wooden expression, ¡°I decline.¡± ¡°Are you seriously objecting?¡± Helian Qing groaned, increasing the strength in his hands a little, ¡°Don¡¯t you have any idea how many other people have their eyes set on this position?¡± ¡°Then you should go find one of those other people!¡± Han Yang proposed, ¡°Find yourself someone pretty.¡± ¡°Tsk. Your tone¡¯s so sour I can taste it.¡± Helian Qing lifted thed¡¯s chin, moving in for a kiss. In response, Han Yang wrapped his arms around the other man¡¯s neck. Opening his mouth slightly, he weed the other man¡¯s intrusion as their tongues now both moved tenderly. It was not long before Han Yang felt something was off, when the hand originally holding his waist slipped into his pajama bottoms, residing between it and his underwear as it kneaded his butt. Han Yang wanted to retreat, yet he was again suppressed and could only grumble, ¡°... we just did itst night!!¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Helian Qing dug his hand into the edge of his briefs, directly touching his buttocks¡ªrubbing them as he continued, ¡°This is revision.¡± ... you think this is some kind of exam! And you want to revise even more!! Han Yang¡¯s mind was thrown into instability, but very soon he was not inclined to think of anything else. His broken thoughts were due to that man¡¯s finger lightly grazing that sensitive ce of his¡ªrotating, drawing circles there which, bit by bit, evoked the younger man¡¯s interest. As a result, that Qing G¨¦ge eagerly put his words into practice, and took that Little Salted Fish for a proper review of life¡¯s most important exercises. Thus, at thepletion of their revision, that Salted Fish was as good as poached, every strand of his hairpletely drenched. ¡°Tsk, tsk... it¡¯s all wet.¡± Helian Qing touched Han Yang¡¯s buttocks, taking his fingers stained with that stuff for thed to see. Han Yang stared at the liquid on the other man¡¯s fingers feeling both ashamed and indignant. He pushed him away, got off the bed and headed for the bath. He had only taken a couple steps before Helian Qing took him by the waist and lifted him into his arms from behind, carrying him to the bathroom. ¡°Put me down!¡± Han Yang held no appreciation for that fellow¡¯s fake kindness. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re cursing me? So I guess that means you¡¯re still energetic, yes?¡± Helian Qing looked down towards him, giving off the feeling that if he said another word, that man would perform that rhythm once more. So without any shame whatsoever, Han Yang yielded. Obediently shutting his mouth, and allowed that man to carry him to the bath ........................................

It¡¯s a customary wish to newly married couples. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 T/n: The above image is of a Princess¡¯ Headdress, Princess Qing¡¯er¡¯s to be more specific. Words in bold were originally in English. _________________________ After finding out Han Yang and Helian Qing were together, She Zhang and the others often saw a glint of adoration within Han Yang¡¯s eyes. Before, after their sses were done, they had always pulled thed aside to chat with him a bit more; but now, at the end of their sses, they would instead wave him away¡ªushering him to leave quickly, just so Helian Qing would not have to wait for too long. Han Yang was so amazed by this that he had given them the title ¡°The Three Henchmen¡±, which those same three epted with a heartyugh, further giving the couple their wishes for a long and happy life together. Taking advantage of hisck of sses because his semester wasing to an end, Han Yang received a few small games and websites to design, and after he was done, he again deposited the small amount of cash into his bank ount. Presently, there was less than half a month until his winter vacation, so he hurriedly finished his business before going off to the mall with the intention of buying a few things for his grandfather. Han Yang¡¯s home town was located close to the northern part of the country, soe winter, it got very cold. Following his arrival to L-City to attend university, he would gift his grandfather a newly purchased set of down jackets as well as other winter clothing, and this year was no different. Done with buying Grandpa¡¯s clothes and boots, Han Yang did not leave the mall right away, choosing to go up to the premium men¡¯s clothing section on the fourth floor instead. He was well aware of Helian Qing having quite a lot of clothes, but he also knew the man did not have any scarves since all of the scarves currently within their cupboard belonged to him. In addition to that, the man also did not wear turtlenecks, so every time Han Yang caught sight of him going out he would feel cold in his stead. Han Yang nned to buy the man a couple of scarves so as to keep him from freezing. But considering Helian Qing¡¯s high-ss taste, not to mention his sharp tongue, ordinary scarves would be disliked by him for sure, and after passing through several stores Han Yang still could not find any that were suitable. By the time Han Yang has strolled through the majority of the fourth floor he had already given up hope. He simply found himself a seat to plop himself down on and take a rest, intending to go check out some other ces after a while. I wonder what Helian Qing¡¯s doing... He¡¯s probably busy at work, right? Han Yang thought to himself as his gaze remained fixed on the bustling crowd passing in and out of a couture clothing store. After sitting for a while, he took out his phone and sent Helian Qing a message. ¡ª¡ªPrincess Qing, what¡¯re you doing? The message he sent to Helian Qing did not receive an immediate response so Han Yang just figured he was busy, paying it no mind. Having rested enough, he got on his feet nning to change locations. With only a couple steps taken, he came to sudden halt, his gaze locked onto the window disy of a men¡¯s wear store. There, hanging on the mannequin, was a grey scarf. Perhaps it was because of the simrity the model¡¯s frame and coat bore to Helian Qing which caused the feeling of ¡°being surrounded by Helian Qing¡± to rise up within Han Yang, perhaps it was something else. Regardless, Han Yang still decided on that scarf the instant his eyes fell upon them¡ªhaving not the slightest bit of hesitance¡ªas he went into that store. Apart from the one worn by the mannequin shown on the outside, that store had many tasteful scarves inside as well, therefore Han Yang bought two scarves he selected ording to Helian Qing¡¯s usual style. As he was paying, Helian Qing had replied to his earlier message, and in taking a look at the message, Han Yang inevitablyughed. ¡ª¡ªSo your husband is someone you¡¯re unwilling to give a call, huh? I¡¯ll to teach youter tonight. After he shed his card and took his bag with the bought scarves, Han Yang left the store, sending Helian Qing a message in reply soon after. ¡ª¡ªMaster Helian, are you busy? Just as his message was sent a response was returned. ¡ª¡ªI¡¯m working for the money to allow me to keep a Salted Fish. Han Yang was just preparing to send a reply when he received another message. Opening it to read: Is the Salted Fish taking a stroll under the sun. ¡°... You really are too much.¡± Han Yangughed. He then went online to search for a picture of a princess¡¯ headdress to send to him. When he was finished sending the picture Helian Qing did not respond afterwards, so Han Yang tucked his phone away, then picked up the new items he had bought. After he got into a taxi, he got yet another message from Helian Qing. ¡ª¡ªI won¡¯t be able to make it back for dinner tonight, so be a goodd and wait for your husband to return home to sort you out. Han Yang ignored him, simply telling the driver his home address. Returning home, Han Yang ced the items he bought for his gray into his suitcase, leaving out Helian Qing¡¯s bag on their own. After organising the other stuff, he again took out the man¡¯s scarves for a closer look. One of the scarves was dark grey with almost unnoticeable stripes, while the other was a rich brown colour with no pattern. Both had a natural and understated style, high quality fleece which was very soft to the touch, and were very warm. Han Yang moved to take one of Helian Qing¡¯s coats from the wardrobe, hanging the scarves from it¡ªimagining Helian Qing being wrapped in them, and feeling that such a sight ought to be quite pleasing to the eyes. Lost in admiration for a while, he took the scarves down, folding them, then returned them both to the bag. The coat was also put back in the same ce it was taken from in the cupboard not long after, as Han Yang had decided to wait until Helian Qing came back home for him to try them on. It was now the afternoon, and Han Yang had no intention of heading out again. Taking hisptop with him, he nested himself with the sofa, and began revising the contents of his next exam. During his dinner, Han Yang all of a sudden felt that eating alone was a bit boring. Without Helian Qing beside him to bicker with, he surprisingly felt rather unustomed to loneliness. It appeared that without him being aware of it, that man had taken up the majority of his thoughts. Helian Qing must also be eating his dinner around now, right? Han Yang looked at the time, proceeding to take out his phone to send a message, reminding him not to drink too much. No more than a couple of minutes past since his message had been sent before Helian Qing called. ¡°Hello,¡± Han Yang answered. ¡°Did you eat already?¡± Helian Qing asked, some background noiseing from his side of the line, sounding like it must have been from a restaurant. ¡°I ate, how about you?¡± Han Yang replied, questioning in return, ¡°Why did you call so suddenly?¡± ¡°A certain someone was worried about his husband drinking when he¡¯s out, so said husband should at the least call and coax that someone for a little while.¡± Helian Qing¡¯s tone seemed helpless, but in reality, he was bragging. ¡°... That¡¯s really not what I meant. I don¡¯t mind you drinking a bit more.¡± Han Yang did not buy his act at all. ¡°So difficult,¡± Helian Qing grumbled. ¡°Anyway, what did you eat?¡± ¡°I ordered take-out from downstairs. It sounds like you¡¯re in the middle of something, so I¡¯m going to hang up,¡± Han Yang answered. ¡°Alright. Don¡¯t wait up for me, get yourself to bed early.¡± Helian Qing ended the call after he spoke. Han Yang finished up the remainder of his dinner. Afterwards, he tidied up the dinner table, then continued with his revision, followed by ying a smallputer game when he got tired of it. Later that night, around ten, Helian Qing has still not returned, and Han Yang was uncertain at approximately what time he would be done. So, in the meantime, he added that day¡¯s expenses to his record then went for a shower. Not more than a couple minutes passed since he had entered the bath when Helian Qing finally returned, carrying a small container of food with the logo of the restaurant it came from printed on its cover. Putting the container on the table, he called, ¡°Han Yang?¡± With no one in the room responding, Helian Qing saw their bedroom light was turned on and guessed the other was taking a bath, having no intention of rushing him. He took off his coat then sat down on the couch to wait for Han Yang toe out so thed could have a midnight snack. Han Yang¡¯sptop was ced on top of the coffee table, and normally, Helian Qing would always either see him fiddling with some programming code or ying a standalone minigame. So just then, on a whim, he wanted to see what thed was up to that day, the urge prompting him to reach out and fiddle the touchscreen, making theputer¡¯s screen light up. On the screen, there was a game window left open, and because no one was currently operating it, the game¡¯s avatar stood in ce on a riverbank, just looking around. Helian Qing had no interest in the minigame, and having had a look at it, simply intended to switch the machine back off, but just as his finger moved he stopped. He stopped, because he caught a glimpse of the name hovering over the tiny character¡¯s head¡ªPrincess Qing. Not only that, but also the character¡¯s wearing of a headdress worn by princesses in the past. The head-piece even had two bright red tassels dangling from both sides. Helian Qing, ¡°...¡± Now this damn Salted Fish trying be a like a carp jumping over the Dragon¡¯s Gate [1] into heaven, isn¡¯t he?! [T/n: The salted fish is going to great lengths to get himself killed (figuratively speaking of course:)] Helian Qing stared at the little avatar for a few seconds, scoffing, intending to close off the window; nning to go inside their room to look for that Salted Fish and settle this ount. But instead, he discovered an opened file behind the game¡¯s window, a file showing some records for expenses and ie. ¡°An ount to pay back money?¡± Helian Qing¡¯s brows rose slightly. He then clicked and dragged the mouse down,ing to another stop when he saw his name written at the bottom, his expression changing when he saw it all very clearly. * Just having returned from his bath Han Yang saw Helian Qing sitting on the sofa, facing hisputer. Oh Crap! Han Yang remembered the webpage he had left open before going for his bath, screaming ¡°Not good!¡± internally¡ªnot even being able to dry his hair, as he hurriedly went out beside the man to ask, ¡°When did you get back?¡± Helian Qing did not answer him, and just kept on staring at theputer screen, leaving faintly pursed lips and a cold expression visible from his side. That name being in the game couldn¡¯t of made him this mad, right? Han Yang felt his heart thump in anxiety. He then moved to pat the cold man on his shoulder and say, ¡°That game was just setup casually, you¡¯re not...¡± his words came to an abrupt end when he noticed that on hisputer screen, was the bill he was keeping. That¡¯s right... I¡¯d just finished adding the new records into the ount and must¡¯ve forgotten to close it when I went for my shower... Han Yang thought to himself. Slowly, Helian Qing lifted his head to look at him; his gaze deep, carrying within it his silent, enduring anger, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Helian Qing¡ª¡± Just as he opened his mouth, Han Yang felt his entire body be weightless, and before his eyes, all of him was pressed down onto the sofa. Helian Qing used a hand to bind the other man¡¯s wrists, leaning over him¡ªhis words cold, ¡°What is that?¡± Han Yang knew he was asking about the bill he had kept, thus replied, ¡°A bill. Didn¡¯t you see it?¡± ¡°A bill?¡± Helian Qing¡¯s held his wrists with a bit more strength. ¡°What are you nning to do, huh? Are you going to pay back the money?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Yang nodded. He truly had such a n, therefore, he had always kept a note of his parents¡¯ debt to Helian Qing. Helian Qing¡¯s face became worse upon hearing his answer, his tone now akin to ice, ¡°What are you nning on doing after repaying the money, huh? Is it a divorce?¡± ¡°No. Helian Qing, first, just let me go.¡± Han Yang struggled, his hair soaking the sofa with water. Helian Qing did not heed his words, pinching thed¡¯s chin to lift his face, ¡°Your thoughts really aren¡¯t so naive, are they? Do you really think you can just toss me aside once all of the money is repaid?¡± ¡°I never thought of anything like that, so can you just listen to what I have to say first!¡± Being suppressed by the man, as well as his refusal to listen, also made Han Yang rather mad. Causing him to reach out to push the other man off. ¡°Then what the fuck are you doing with that record?¡± Helian Qing interrupted him, releasing his chin to trail his finger downwards, resting it above the other¡¯s heart as he asked through gritted teeth, ¡°Han Yang, even if your heart is made of stone, Laozi (I) has covered it for so long...even Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) came out and covered it for you! [2] You really are fucking great... Everyday you recorded in that thing was you wanting to piss me off, right?¡± ¡°...¡± Han Yang was left stunned by this sentence for a while. His response was him trying his best to control theughter he could not help but let out. The anger he felt from their misunderstanding a moment ago also quickly faded away without a trace of it left behind. Oh my gosh! Princess Qing, don¡¯t be so cute! ¡°You¡¯re freakingughing now!¡± Helian Qing huffed. He was very upset by thed¡¯s seemingly indifferent attitude towards their marriage, but was also unwilling to do anything to him about it. In the end, he simply let him go and sat beside him, sulking. Han Yang sat up and took a look, noticing his hair really did leave a water stain on the couch, and as a result, he took some time to dry it with the blow-dryer. Helian Qing held in his breath as he waited for Han Yang toe coax him. However, when he turned around, he found the other man had his eyes set on the dampened spot on the sofa with regret, immediately causing that held breath of his to be released. Fidgeting as he pulled his tie loose, he then stood up and left for the bedroom. He was in dire need off a cold shower to cool him down so as to keep him from sauteing that Salted Fish over and over. ¡°Helian Qing.¡± Seeing him walk away, Han Yang called out to stop him. Helian Qing ignored him, and kept walking. ¡°Stop!¡± Han Yang called out again, getting up to go over to him. Helian Qing stopped in his tracks, but did not turn to look at him. Han Yang went to face him, and just as he caught sight of his frosty expression along with his anger filled eyes¡ªagain, he could not help butugh. ¡°You¡¯reughing again,¡± Helian Qing said frigidly. ¡°Cough!¡± Han Yang stoppedughing, reaching for Helian Qing¡¯s hands, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be mad, alright. Please just listen to what I have to say.¡± ¡°Blow dry your hair,¡± Helian Qing stated. By this, Han Yang was caught of guard momentarily. Following his shock, he was unable to stop the slivers of sweetness from rising within his heart in response to the man¡¯s intention, because even though he was quite mad at him at the moment, that man still putting him above all else moved him. ¡°Are you waiting for me toe help you or something?¡± Helian Qing sneered upon seeing thed remaining motionless. ¡°Wait for me for a bit, I¡¯ll be be back right away,¡± Han Yang said, leaving for the bedroom to blow dry his hair right after. When was done blowing his hair dry, he returned to see Helian Qing once more sitting on the sofa, and facing hisputer just as he was before. Han Yang made his way over to him, and Helian Qing lifted and lowered his chin, an indication for the other to exin. ¡°That record was from when I first met you,¡± Han Yang started. ¡°January, 6th,¡± Helian Qing mentioned the most recent date in the bill, meaning: Do you think I¡¯m stupid? ¡°In the beginning, I really did think of breaking up with you once I had saved up enough and repaid the money,¡± Han Yang exined, observing the man¡¯s reaction. As expected, just as he was finished speaking, the man¡¯s face contorted at once, his eyes ring at him as if he wanted to chew him up, so he immediately added, ¡°But I don¡¯t now.¡± Having heard his words, Helian Qing¡¯s face rxed a bit, and he let the other continue. ¡°Actually, before, I was quite bothered by your...¡± ¡°Do you want to argue?¡± Helian Qing interjected. ¡°Do you still want to hear what I have to say?¡± Han Yang was left at a loss by that man continuously interrupting of him. ¡°Just pick something pleasant to hear and say it, we don¡¯t have the time to listen to a recount of your emotional journey,¡± Helian Qing retorted. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll just go to bed then.¡± Han Yang turned to leave just as he finished speaking. This time, Helian Qing has to be the one to go stop him. ¡°Nowadays, you¡¯re bing even bolder, aren¡¯t you?¡± A peeved Helian Qing asked. ¡°So, you¡¯re going to listen now, right?¡± Han Yang asked, his eyes brimming with joy from knowing he got his way. Helian Qing cursed, pulling thed to sit on the sofa, his tone unkind as he spat out the single word, ¡°Talk.¡± Han Yang began exining his feelings and mindset from when he first signed the contract with Helian Qing. At that time, he truly had no desire to sign the agreement. Regarding those two persons called his parents, even though at one time, he very much wished for their presence, he also had no desire to sell himself for the purpose of paying off their debt. If Helian Qing had not used his grandfather to ckmail him back then, it was unlikely he would have signed the contract. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t gone along with you back then, would you have gone after my Grandpa?¡± Han Yang asked him¡ªhe had always wanted to ask him. ¡°Of course I wouldn¡¯t have gone to such despicable lengths!¡± Helian Qing huffed, ¡°You really believe yourself to be some sort of immortal beauty, don¡¯t you?¡± Han Yang, ¡°...¡± well... you are a princess... you¡¯re the immortal beauty. Actually, over the course of them getting to know one another, Han Yang had already known the answer to that question. Him asking was simply him wanting to hear Helian Qing say the words himself. He has never thought his rtionship with Helian Qing would be the way it was, not only their marriage, but the mutual affection they held for one another. Although he had neglected to say it out loud, Han Yang had a very clear understanding of the feelings in his heart. He was resistant in his interactions with the other at the beginning, but he slowly became attracted to Helian Qing. These things were obvious to him, and he epted them without any doubts or hesitation. ¡°Helian Qing,¡± Han Yang turned to look at him, ¡°the reason there are some things I didn¡¯t say to you is because I just didn¡¯t know how to say them. So, do you want to hear them?¡± Helian Qing was not feeling so good. He wanted to spit out a couple venomous words but just one look at the expectation within Han Yang¡¯s gaze made those cold word remain unspoken. Since you want to say this much, I¡¯ll just let you do as you please and listen to it properly. Helian Qing then nodded mercifully, ¡°You may speak [3].¡± Han Yang, understanding what he meant, chuckled. He raised his head, kissing the man¡¯s chin, then said, ¡°Paying you back then breaking off our rtionship was an idea I had in the beginning. I have no thoughts of doing so now, and that¡¯s because I would hate having to part with you.¡± Saying this, he slipped his fingers between the gaps of Helian Qing¡¯s, gripping firmly, ¡°I couldn¡¯t bear being separated from you.¡± Han Yang saying these kind of words, just short of of a confession, left Helian Qing speechless. Stillcking any sort of reaction, he heard the other continue, ¡°Back then, when we registered, I always wanted toplete it with you.¡± ¡°Wh¡ªwhat?¡± Helian Qing, surprisingly, stuttered. From within his the other man¡¯s arms, Han Yang turned his body to look at the man face to face, pressing his palm on the left side of the man¡¯s chest¡ªover his heart, with eyes still meeting the other¡¯s as he spoke carefully, ¡°I wish to, with you Helian Qing, bewfully wedded husbands; to have and to hold from this day forward; for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, until death do us part.¡± Although Han Yang¡¯s tone was not grave, it was very clear and not one of the words he spoke had failed to enter Helian Qing¡¯s ears. His gaze was resolute¡ªnot at all concealing their lovepletely calm as he faced that man. Shocking the the life out of Helian Qing for quite a long time. For a second time, Han Yang asked him, ¡°What about you, Helian Qing?¡± Devout and expectant eyes faced Helian Qing, who felt his own heart was being transformed by this look of Han Yang¡¯s. ¡°I...¡± Helian Qing began to speak, his throat a bit dry. ¡°Yeah?¡± Han Yang looked at him. ¡°I really can¡¯t take any more of this,¡± Helian Qing cursed, lifting that person and carrying him straight to their bedroom. Excuse me? Han Yang was stunned. What kind of situation is this? It wasn¡¯t until Helian Qing pressed him onto their bed and began stripping off his clothes, did Han Yang return to his senses, pushing one of his feet against Helian Qing¡¯s stomach, asking, ¡°What are you doing? Have you not listened to anything I just said?¡± Helian Qing grabbed his foot, licking from his calf to his thigh, saying, ¡°I¡¯m doing exactly what I heard. Since you so earnestly made me proposition [4], your husband is certainly going to satisfy you.¡± ... Who the heck made you a proposition!!! Now you¡¯re saying wedding vows have be propositions? Did you consider the feelings of the Civil Affairs Office at all?! Obviously Princess Qing did not, as he was currentlypletely preupied with making himself and that domesticated Salted Fish of his feel pleasure. Having eaten to his hearts content, Helian Qing embraced Han Yang, kissing his ear, saying, ¡°Since you love me so much, I will ept your confession.¡± ¡°...¡± Han Yang¡¯s entire body had no strength at the moment, to the point where he could not evenunch a retort to that statement in his mind, and so, just closed his eyes and went to sleep. Helian Qing caressed his ear, unable to help himself from again taking the chance to kiss as well as graze it with his tongue, unwilling to part until after a few minutes had passed. ¡°Good night, my love.¡± Helian Qing whispered, holding thed in his arms as he fell asleep. ..................................................................

Waking up, he sluggishly felt around in the spot beside him, sensing no trace of Helian Qing. Ufortable with not having that person¡¯s warmth next to him, his hooded¡ªhalf opened eyes caught sight of the blurry image of Helian Qing standing at the side of the bedroom facing the mirror, and fiddling around with something. Han Yang moved, propping himself up, crawling over to the other side of the bed so he could get a proper look, only to discover the other man was trying on a scarf. Also that, hanging on the back of the chair right next to him, was another scarf which looked like it had already been tried on. Helian Qing had a tall build and good looks, so it would be reasonable to say, that given this, Han Yang had chosen scarves which ought to have been very cool. But, for some unknown reason, Han Yang thought the scene before him waspletely ridiculous; and at this moment, was very much unable to stop himself fromughing out loud. As he faced the mirror, Helian Qing heard Han Yang¡¯sughter and thus turned to find the other man lying on the bed, shaking fromughter. With the grip of the scarf in his hand growing rigid, he angrily pulled it off¡ªrolled it into a ball, then stuffed it into its bag. Striding over to the side of their bed, he stared at Han Yang with a face covered with displeasure, ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡± Han Yang hadughed so much, his stomach hurt. Covering his tummy, he breathed out a few surprised and joy-filled exmations before replying, ¡°No, it¡¯s just... Why on earth were you trying on the scarves while you were still only wearing your pajamas! Oh my god! You¡¯re killing me right now!¡± [T/n: He¡¯s killing himselfughing/Laughing his ass off] Giving himself a once over, Helian Qing saw he was indeed still wearing his pajamas, and his face stiffened. He was in no way angry, nor did his expression show he was, as he stood by the beside a bit awkwardly. Earlier, having just got up and washing up, he had intended to find himself a change of clothes when his vision came upon the two scarves in the cupboard. He was not sure why he thought so, but his first inkling was that they were bought by Han Yang just for him. A wave of joy came over him so quickly, he immediately took the scarves and went to try them on, not for second taking into ount the fact he was still wearing his pajamas. After trying them on, he found himself to look pretty good wearing them, never once expecting Han Yang to wake up and catch him red-handed. Within his heart, there was a sort of indescribable shame from being caught in the act like that. ¡°Have you had enough of augh?¡± Helian Qing looked at Han Yang with a long face. ¡°Enough, I¡¯ve had enough!¡± Han Yang pinched his thigh below the nket¡ªOuch, wincing as he endured the pain. ¡°Those scarves you bought are so ugly, did you leave your sense of taste back in your vige or something?¡± Master Helian was clearly displeased by thed¡¯s attitude. ¡°You¡¯re still smiling.¡± ¡°They¡¯re such ugly scarves, yet you still wore them,¡± Han Yang retorted, feeling they looked really good! ¡°You¡¯re so ugly, yet I still married you, didn¡¯t I?¡± Helian Qing sneered. ¡°...¡± It¡¯ll always be nothing but quarrels with you Helian Qing. Han Yang rolled his eyes. You beauty, you goddess, you Princess Qing. Snorting, Helian Qing made his way to the wardrobe to himself a change of clothes. Since he had no sses on this day as well, Han Yang was in no hurry to get himself out of bed. Propping half of himself off the mattress, he looked on at the man changing in front of him; admiring the man¡¯s broad shoulders, his slender waist, and those longs legs of his. Helian Qing knew very well he was looking, and it appeared as if he had also slowed the speed at which he changed into those clothes, taking his time as hepleted the act. Just as he buckled his belt, he turned, coldly looking at the other, saying, ¡°Hurry up and wipe up your drool, or else you¡¯ll soak the covers.¡± Han Yang did not fall for that man¡¯s trick so easily, choosing instead to open the nket and get off the bed to go straight for the grey scarf hanging on the chair, then walk towards Helian Qing, standing squarely before him and say, ¡°You should try this one. I especially picked it for you.¡± Helian Qing, who originally wanted to ignore him and spit out a couple mean words about the scarf, after hearing thed¡¯s intention, simply choked back those words and slightly bowed his head to allow the shorter man to wrap the scarf for him. Han Yang carefully straightened out the scarf for Helian Qing. With his head lowered slightly, Helian Qing could only see the bangs covering his brows and eyes from his perspective, being able to see nothing but the tip of the other man¡¯s nose. Helian Qing¡¯s gaze then fell upon Han Yang¡¯s fingers as they twirled and wrapped the scarf, before finally returning to his forehead once more. He stared at that ce for a few seconds, his hand then reaching out to lift thed¡¯s bangs, as he next lowered his own head to ce a kiss upon that no longer concealed spot. The feeling of those warm lips pressed upon his head made Han Yang¡¯s hands still, with him then lifting his eyes to look at the other man. Helian Qing, in response, nonchntly withdrew his hand, flittering his gaze all around as if nothing had happened. Smiling faintly, Han Yang proceeded to press the scarf into the hem of his shirt, then taking a couple steps back as he watched him for while, afterwards going into the cupboard to retrieve a coat for Helian Qing to wear. Helian Qing let the younger man fiddle around, cooperatively lifting both his arms as he did. ¡°Perfect!¡± Han Yang straightened the man¡¯s cor, circling around him a few times while nodding satisfyingly, ¡°Very handsome!!¡± Helian Qing was indeed quite handsome with that scarf on. His tall stature, coupled with his extraordinary temperament, were normally rather exceptional when he wore suits. So now, with him dressed in a long cashmere coat paired with this simple and tasteful scarf, his entire aura had increased twofold. That handsome man felt very delighted by Han Yang¡¯s praise, even leaning his body on one side to let thed admire him more. Han Yang had already perfectly understood this hint of his was used for the sake of seeking outpliments, thus immediately¡ªwithout being one bit stingy, rained a number of praises from beside him, and causing that Qing G¨¦ge¡¯s heart to set off into full bloom. After finishing their breakfast, Helian Qing dropped Han Yang off at his family¡¯s home before heading straight to work. The visit was due to a call made by Lao Yezi the day before to have thede y a game of chess with him. Han Yang followed the butler to the study, where inside, Lao Yezi had already set up the chess pieces and was happily ying on his own. ¡°Come.¡± Lao Yezi lifted his head and waved his hand, ¡°Come on, get over here.¡± ¡°Morning Granddad.¡± Han Yang went over and sat facing him, ¡°Have you eaten breakfast?¡± ¡°Yes, I ate. Have you eaten as yet? Do you want to have Aunt Zhou make you something hot?¡± Lao Yezi asked in return. ¡°I ate just beforeing over.¡± Han Yang helped him arranged the chess pieces, ¡°So are you moving first?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you go,¡± Lao Yezi replied. Han Yang smiled, then made the first move. These days, Han Yang would often drop by to apany Lao Yezi in a chess game, so his chess skills saw a vast improvement. Following the end of the round, Lao Yezi sighed before saying, ¡°Is there a chance I¡¯ll be able to y a couple rounds with your grandfather?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll get the the chance,¡± Han Yang answered. Smiling, Lao Yezi added, ¡°Don¡¯t stress, all of us here have long epted you and A¡¯Qing¡¯s situation, so your grandfather over there will too, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Han Yang smiled along as well. Actually, he had already nned on going back there to celebrate the New Year with his grandfather, and also telling him of his situation with Helian Qing. After all, theirs was a path meant for two people, and he could not always allow Helian Qing to be the one pushing ahead on his own. [T/n: the path for two is their marriage.] Soon after he had lunch there, Han Yang returned home, because he wanted to take care of some minor tweaks the website he was requested to design still needed. Mo Suya knew that apart from attending university, he also worked, thus she was immediately both gratified and worried. When she saw him off, she caressed his hair, brushing it behind his ear, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t wear yourself out too much, okay. Make Qing¡¯er do that money making stuff for your family. His skin¡¯s tough enough, he¡¯s not supposed to be averse to hardships.¡± Due to that Princess Qing¡¯s own mother turning her back on him, Han Yang had a moment of silence, nodded, thenughed, ¡°I know. Anyway, it¡¯s cold out so you should hurry and go back in, alright.¡± Mo Suya, in turn, urged him to get back to his home, so Han Yang got into car the chauffeur got ready then left. On his way back, the warm feeling within Han Yang¡¯s chest grew increasingly more warm. This was all thanks to Lao Yezi understanding, Mo Suya¡¯s loving tenderness¡ªand most importantly, Helian Qing¡¯s own utterck of reservations in cherishing him. Sometimes, he could not stop himself from wondering what he had done to deserve meeting them all, and for them to show him all the love and concern he never dared to expect. It¡¯s probably because I spent out all my luck for my next life, ah? Han Yang pondered, as he stared out of the window. ** That afternoon, after he took care of his work, Han Yang noticed it was not yet four o¡¯clock. Helian Qing had been busy for thest few days, and had also said that today he would be unable to make it back in time for dinner. Han Yang was not in the mood to cook solely for himself, so he originally thought about ordering takeout, but then he had second thoughts, and wondered if it would be better to go buy groceries. In the end, he chose to make dinner; sending Helian Qing a message while he was on his way to the store. The market had much fresher vegetables than the supermarket, and Han Yang¡ªquite meticulously¡ªchose a good number of veggies to buy, with the intention of getting some for the next day as well. Sometime during his shopping, he also gave Xiao Chen a call to confirm whether Helian Qing was at thepany, as well as, there being no dinner party scheduled for that evening. Worried Helian Qing would end up waiting for too long, Han Yang finished buying the groceries, then returned home and got right to work. Later, with his dinner preparation all done, he packed all of it into a cooler, then left. When he at the base of thepany, Han Yang looked up at the tall, multistorey building. Before bing familiar with Helian Qing, he had once thought he would be fighting to get into the Helian Group after graduation for work, never had he expected that he would not be entering for a job, but would instead end up marrying Helian Qing. Thinking about this, Han Yang could only sigh at life¡¯s ever so fickle nature. After which, he made his way into the first floor¡¯s reception area, then gave Xiao Chen a call since he did not have an appointment. Following the end of their call, Xiao Chen quickly went downstairs to receive him. ¡°Sorry for troubling you,¡± Han Yang said to Xiao Chen. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all, don¡¯t say such a thing. Boss is busy and still hasn¡¯t had dinner as yet, so you came at just the perfect time.¡± Xiao Chen said in return as he led him into the elevator. ¡°You didn¡¯t tell him I wasing over, did you?¡± Han Yang asked, he was thinking of giving Helian Qing a little surprise. ¡°Of course not, don¡¯t worry.¡± Xiao Chen chuckled understandingly. ¡°Thank you,¡± Han Yang said. Then recalling that Helian Qing had been working overtime day after day recently, he then asked, ¡°Why have you all been so busy recently?¡± ¡°There¡¯s an important new product that will hit the market, tomorrow, and there¡¯ll even be a news conference, so Boss is more busy than usual,¡± Xiao Chen replied. Han Yang nodded, not asking anything more. When the elevator stopped at the top floor, Han Yang said, ¡°I¡¯ll be fine going on my own, you can go take care of your work.¡± Xiao Chen nodded, pressing the elevator door for Han Yang, then said, ¡°His office is at the end of the hall, on the left.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Han Yang thanked him, then walked towards the office. Helian Qing¡¯s office was at the end, and to the right there was a meeting room, a conference room, a reading room, and a waiting area; all of them quiterge. ording to Xiao Chen, all of the left side was Helian Qing¡¯s office, so if that was so, it meant the space he upied was the equivalent of every one of them put together. Han Yang stopped in front the door of Helian Qing¡¯s office, noticing it was partially open, with also a voiceing out from the inside. ¡°So you¡¯re just nning to always keep Han Yang in the dark, huh?¡± That voice sounded a bit familiar, and Han Yang heard his name. He was then going to knock on the door but his hand froze after hearing Helian Qing say: ¡°You¡¯re poking your nose in too much.¡± ¡°I¡¯m doing it for your own good!¡± that voice countered. ¡°Tsk, tsk. You¡¯ve been hung up on that person from since they were in high school, till now. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s being too much with this ever-enduring love of yours!¡± ¡°Enough with your nonsense. After dropping something off you should know to just get lost,¡± Helian Qing said rudely. ¡°Fine, alright, okay! For your pleasure, I¡¯ll just go then.¡± What did he mean? What high school? Why did they mention me? Han Yang paused for a while,pletely puzzled by the meaning of their words. He then heard that voice again say: ¡°I¡¯ll go first, yeah. If anythinges up, call me.¡± ¡°Scram,¡± Helian Qing stated. Han Yang heard what they said along with sound of footsteps, and so, he too a few steps back then took a look at the person who came from inside. ¡ª¡ªIt was Xu Luozhao. No wonder I felt the voice sounded familiar, Han Yang thought. Upon first seeing him, Xu Luozhao was a little surprised. When he saw the cooler in his hand he made his way over, closing the door behind him. ¡°Hello,¡± Han Yang greeted him. ¡°Hi there,¡± Xu Luozhaoughed. ¡°Here to drop off A¡¯Qing¡¯s dinner?¡± ¡°Mhm. I didn¡¯t disturb you two, did I?¡± Han Yang asked. ¡°Of course not, but...¡± Xu Luozhao paused for a moment, using an assured tone as he said, ¡°you heard us just now, right?¡± Han Yang also did not deny it, ¡°I heard a bit.¡± ¡°Are you curious about what we were chatting about?¡± Xu Luozhao asked. Han Yang hesitated, but Xu Luozhao did not wait for his reply before whispering a sentence. Han Yang, shocked, lifted his head to look at him, while the other manughed. ¡°Go back home to find out, it¡¯s a surprise.¡± After saying that, he excused himself. Han Yang stood motionlessly for a few seconds. Then, lifting his hand, he knocked on the door, pushing it open and proceeded to enter. When he entered, Helian Qing had his head lowered as he flipped through some materials. Thinking Xu Luozhao had againe back, he did not lift his head, saying, ¡°Is there something else?¡± Han Yang did not respond, and instead waited for the man to notice him. After few seconds passed, Helian Qing stopped flipping through the pages, raising his head to see the one standing there, and facing him, was Han Yang. He stared nkly at the other person for a little while, then blurted out, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Delivering takeout.¡± Han Yang raised the hamper in his hand,ughing towards him. Seeing him lifting up the hamper and smiling at him, Helian Qing felt all the exhaustion from his day instantaneously disappear without a trace. From the day they has gotten married, till now. This was the first time Han Yang hade to deliver a meal to him, along with doing so without him knowing it was happening at all. The Husband works overtime, and the wife delivers him dinner on her own initiative. This was practically the damn plot of some idol-drama, so freaking retarded. Even so, Helian Qing could not help the corners of his lips from curving upwards, almost to the point of making him wanting to whistle. [T/n: whistling is considered rude.] Because there was dinner for two persons, what Han Yang brought was quite hefty, other than the four dishes he prepared, he also brought a thermos of soup. Helian Qing, seeing him take out all of the dishes, was somewhat amazed, ¡°Why so much? Do you think I¡¯m a pig?¡± Han Yang put away the cooler, ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten either.¡± Hearing his words, Helian Qing¡¯s first reaction was to think that he wanted to eat together with him, and this realization made his heart bloom, but very quickly, another thought crept into his mind. Lifting his hand, Helian Qing took a look at his watch to see it was already past seven o¡¯clock, brows knitted as he said, ¡°Next time, eat thene over.¡± Knowing he was worried about his stomach, Han Yang then said, ¡°I ate a bit of cake before I came.¡± Helian Qing nodded satisfyingly after listening to him, pulling him to sit beside him to eat their dinner. ¡°I bought this when I went to the market today, it¡¯s especially tender,¡± Han Yang pointed towards the crab, ¡°You should taste it.¡± Helian Qing drank half of the container of soup, then took the crab and began peeling. Since Han Yang had steamed the crab perfectly, its delicate flesh could be seen, and it was indeed very sulent. He then took off a small piece of the meat, stuffing it into Han Yang¡¯s mouth. ¡°Mmn!¡± Han Yang bit down unconsciously. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to have some?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll eat,¡± Helian Qing spoke, just before lowering his head to kiss him. Han Yang¡¯s eyes went wide at the entrance of Helian Qing¡¯s tongue into his mouth where the piece of crab still sat. Afterwards, that slippery tongue began teasingly provoking the tip of his own. It was probably the man¡¯s intention to show his desire to be even closer to the other. Thus Han Yang did not resist. Closing his eyes andpliantly tilting his head upwards to give into Helian Qing¡¯s kiss, the tip of tongue moving carefully, before gradually reacting. After about half of a minute, Helian Qing got his fill from their kiss, with the crabmeat held within Han Yang¡¯s mouth also being snatched away. Chewing, as he pleased, a couple times before swallowing, he then looked at thed, saying, ¡°Tastes pretty good.¡± Not knowing whether his words was in regard to the crabmeat or something else, Han Yang, although more than aware of that man¡¯s shamelessness, nevertheless could not avoid his ears growing red, before lowering his head and eating his meal. With his now cheerful mood, Helian Qing helped him peel the rest of the crab¡¯s meat out of its shell. Following their dinner, Helian Qing continued with his work. Han Yang wanted to help him, but he was not familiar with those matters and so could not be of any assistance. Seeing his intention, Helian Qing said while stroking his head, ¡°Go have fun, okay. I¡¯ll teach youter.¡± Han Yang nodded, taking the man¡¯s cellphone and went on to y. Having finished approving a proposal, Helian Qing raised his head just to catch a glimpse of Han Yang, whose head was lowered, as he yed with the phone, the sight causing his lips to lift into a smile. Curious as to what the other was ying, Helian Qing got and went beside him; propping himself up over the back of the sofa before bending over to get a better look. Once he saw exactly what the younger man was doing, he was left speechless. He saw that Han Yang was using Helian Qing¡¯s phone to apply for a WeChat ount under the name ¡°Princess Qing¡±, along with one for himself called ¡°Little Saltfish¡±. This single person yed the role of both persons, chatting along happily between them. Han Yang, who had both phones in his hands, lifted to look at him, asking, ¡°Do you want to y?¡± ¡°...Guai [1], just y by yourself, alright.¡± Helian Qing rubbed his head, ¡°My little nipoop.¡± After saying that he went back and continued working. ¡°...¡± Han Yang red at him, tossing the phones aside, in exchange for a tablet which he then yed a game on. During their time in the office, someone hade in to give a report to Helian Qing for which Han Yang had nned on excusing himself, but Helian Qing made him stay stay instead. He then went on to discuss some business with the person who gave the report afterwards. Normally, Han Yang got to see more than enough of Helian Qing¡¯s irascible, stubborn, tsundere, sarcastic, gentle, and hooliganistic behavior; but this was his first glimpse of that man¡¯s working businessman persona. Although he would usually bring some of his work back home with him, at this moment, the atmosphere he gave off felt extremely different. This prompted a single phrase to suddenly sh in Han Yang¡¯s mind: A man¡¯s at his most handsome [cool] when he¡¯s working hard. A while passed, after which Helian Qing took the materials then went to face Han Yang. ¡°I have to go to a meeting, so keep yourself upied, and if you get tired you can go rest inside,¡± pointing towards the room to rest in after he spoke. ¡°Alright,¡± Han Yang nodded. When Helian Qing returned after his meeting was done, Han Yang was already lying fast asleep on the sofa, his tablet beside him, the device disying a tiny pumpkin character on its screen which seemed to be in the middle of clearing a stage in a game. Afraid he would catch a cold, Helian Qing bent over and picked him up into his arms. Han Yang awoke upon realising he was being carried, rubbing his eyes as he asked, ¡°Is the meeting over?¡± ¡°It¡¯s over,¡± Helian Qing replied. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to go inside to sleep? Or were you especially waiting for me toe back and carry you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re over thinking it,¡± Han Yang patted his shoulder, ¡°I was just resting my eyes for a while, so can you let me down please.¡± ¡°Satisfying his wife is a husband¡¯s duty.¡± Helian Qing remained unmoved, carrying him into the room to rest. This sentence had quite a few interpretations, and given a certain person¡¯s bad criminal record, Han Yang chose to remain silent. Helian Qing ced Han Yang on the bed, taking advantage of the moment where he pressed the other person onto the bed to ce a few kisses, before getting up to say, ¡°Go back to sleep, I¡¯ll call you in a little when I¡¯m no longer busy.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Han Yang nodded. Waiting until after Helian Qing left to close his eyes and rest. When the two returned home it was already past midnight, and because he slept at thepany, Han Yang felt quite energetic. He tossed and turned on the bed, soon recalling what Xu Luozhao said earlier, thus adding another reason he could not fall asleep. With Helian Qing still in the bath, he hesitated for a few seconds, then opened the covers and got out of bed and went to the study. .................................. Notes: [1] ¹Ô: gu¨¡i: it basically means, be good/behave/obedient/... , used to describe a good child and stuff. But sometimes it¡¯s use is not as clear cut, so I left it as is. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 T/n: the italicized you¡¯s are the polite form of the word. ____________________________ ¡°If you go to A¡¯Qing¡¯s bookcase, to second drawer on the leftmost side, you¡¯ll find a small box there; and inside it, is the answer to what you want to know.¡± Han Yang stood before the bookcase, the words Xu Luozhao spoke earlier reying in his mind. That bookshelf of Helian Qing¡¯s was rather high, so he used a stepdder to climb up; going for the second drawer on the far left, to the box Xu Luozhao had spoke of. It was an antique looking wooden box, covered in many intricate designs which were exquisite and beautiful. Taking the case into his hands made Han Yang feel quite nervous, to the extent where his hands actually began to tremble as the constant feeling of it being like he was peeking at some mysterious object over took him. He did not try to open the box at first, he only stared at the thing intently, while the two opposing thoughts: ¡°Open¡± and ¡°Don¡¯t open¡±, bounced against one another, as if they were the multiple choice answers on a sheet of paperid out before him. His mind warned him doing something like this was wrong, and that spying on Helian Qing¡¯s private things without his consent was very bad. But, his heart told him this thing should be something regarding him, otherwise Xu Luozhao would have been unlikely to tell him about it to begin with. Besides, he wanted to know the answer to those things Xu Luozhao had said, and ultimately, why Helian Qing wanted to make such a contract with him. Without a doubt, his emotions prevailed over his rationality in the end. So with the intake of a deep breath, Han Yang slowly opened the box. The box¡¯stch made a soft ¡°click¡± echo within his hand when it unlocked, and in that split second, Han Yang heard the sound of his own heart pounding. Surprisingly, there was nothing particrly special inside the box. So far, just an old piece of newspaper¡ªlooking a bit yellowed¡ªresting atop its other contents. Upon seeing the newspaper, Han Yang was a little stunned; not understanding what Xu Luozhao¡¯s intent could have been in making him see it. He then took out the newspaper and read the date on its cover: July 25th, 20xx. ¡ª¡ªThis newspaper was from five years ago. Why would Helian Qing treasure and preserve an old newspaper like this? Han Yang did not understand. Now putting back the box, Han Yang opened the newspaper and read the capitalised front page headline of the leading news story¡ª¡ªHelian Group¡¯s Next Heir, Helian Qing, Receives Secret Invite to Attend the XXth Youth Standalone Webgame Competition: So could this mean the Helian Group is possibly stepping foot into the online gaming industry?! Below this headline, one-third of all the titles were all about Helian Qing. Han Yang, ¡°...¡±Is narcissism that Qing G¨¦ge¡¯s reason for wanting to hoard popr newspaper headlines of himself and keep them in that box? Could that Qing G¨¦ge actually turn out to be more of a narcissist than a tsundere? Knowing fully well such a thing was out of the question, Han Yang still could not help butugh after he thought about it, as he took a careful look at the Helian Qing from back then. Comparatively speaking, there was not that much difference between the Helian Qing in that picture to his current appearance. His features were still quite handsome, and his expression was still rather indifferent; but now it seemed like those features, along with his temperament, became even more refined, more mature¡ªmore..posed. That photo, suddenly made Han Yang be more curious as to what Helian Qing was like those years back, especially whether or not he was such a sharp-tongued tsundere as he was now. Yep, he must¡¯ve still been like that. He was probably born that way, Han Yang thought, before he returned his gaze to the newspaper¡¯s contents. The article from five years earlier was about a webgamepetition where Helian Qing, who was invited as a mysterious guest, received a great deal of attention from the media. It also had quite a number of people guessing whether his eptance of the invitation to apetition like that had something to do with the next direction hispany would advance in. Han Yang was not very convinced by that report. Due to the strength of the Helian Group, if they really wished to step into the online gaming industry it was unlikely they¡¯d set their sights on an average teenage webgamepe¡ª Wait a minute! Han Yang remembered something. He then swept his gaze back to the article¡¯s title, reading the headline twice. Han Yang paused, 20xx... Isn¡¯t that thepetition I participated in? Back then, it just so happened to be the summer vacation period, and along with the son of the his homeroom teacher [1], he had formed a team who then entered thatpetition which they even won the ¡°Most Creative¡± constion prize for at that time. Han Yang had been epted to a high school in the city and due to his family¡¯s situation, the homeroom teacher looked after him a little more, and also because their son was in the same grade as him though the other boy¡¯s grades in every subject was unbnced. The form teacher¡¯s son had the problem of focusing seriously on some subjects at the expense of others, so after he and the boy were more familiar with each other, Han Yang took it upon himself to help him make up for those lessons he was falling behind on; and it was because of this guy, that Han Yang got his first chance to interact withputers. Back then, his participation in thatpetition was idental. Still unfamiliar withputers, he could not help much but with his that clever mind of his, he did provide them with many new ideas and directions. In fact, the concept for the end product that went up for thepetition was thought up by him, while the concrete design was the work of the homeroom teacher¡¯s son and another team member¡¯s. Little did he expect that they would win a prize for it in the end. Han Yang also recalled the picture he had of all his teammates from when he took part in thepetition, which now rests on his desk back at his family¡¯s home. Grandpa would frequently take out that picture to look at it, and say how that event still made him very happy. But why would this newspaper be here? Han Yang continued reading. Below the article, his eyes falling on a photo with him standing in the first row to the far left, looking very reserved while wearing a white shirt and ck trousers. ¡°...inside it is the answer to what you want to know.¡± Xu Luozhao¡¯s words echoed once again, and an unbelievable thought slowly formed within Han Yang¡¯s heart. His mouth now slightly agape, he did not dare believe what he just saw in that newspaper, considering the spection now forming in his heart as simply preposterous. ¡°...how can something like this be possible?¡± Han Yang mumbled. Folding up the paper recklessly, he then picked up the box again to find there were a few more news clippings inside that were from the same time as the one before. Apart from the newspapers, there were also several pictures, with not even one failing to be a photo of him from thatpetition. His heart ¡°ba-thumped¡± as it pounded, seeming as if it wanted to burst open, giving him no way to control its throbbing. He then, very carefully, picked up those photographs a upon making contact with them, to his shock, every one of his fingertips emitted a scalding heat. It the same as the time when he saw the contents of the journal, except now it was the box in his hand which felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and yet again it seemed as if an invisible hand had churned the seas within his heart and tossing that ce into chaos. Han Yang thought he had already gotten along well with Helian Qing and had also graduallye to understand the depth of that man¡¯s affections. But it never urred to him he had yet to touch the tip of it. ¡°Han Yang.¡± Helian Qing¡¯s voice came from outside, jolting Han Yang back to reality. Eyeing the doorway, he quickly put the newspapers and pictures back into the box, covered it, then returned it to its original ce before hurriedly climbing down thedder, three steps merging into two, as he ran out the study. Helian Qing stood in the doorway of their bedroom, the towel used to dry his hair hanging around his neck. Seeing Han Yang exit the study, he then said, ¡°What are doing staying up sote? Come over here.¡± Han Yang¡¯s head waspletely filled with all the pictures from inside that box, and after setting eyes on Helian Qing, his steps halted; and soon after, he did something that even after many years had passed, his recollection of it made him feel ashamed to return back to his vige. Making his way over to Helian Qing with quickened steps, he threw himself onto the other when he was finally right before him. That¡¯s right, he threw his whole self onto him, jumping on the man with both legs wrapping around the other¡¯s waist and arms tightly encircled around his neck. Helian Qing got quite a scare by the smaller man¡¯s pouncing, the impact causing him to draw backwards by a free steps before he could steady himself, and use both hands to prop him up by the butt as he held him. ¡°Hiss!¡± Helian Qing¡¯s face got knocked by thed¡¯s forehead. Sucking in a breath, and with an unhappy tone, he said, ¡°Are you throwing yourself into my arms, or are you trying to to murder your dear husband?¡± Han Yang gave him no reply, instead choosing to tighten his embrace and bury his face with the hollow of the other man¡¯s neck while repeatedly calling out his name softly. ¡°What happened?¡± Helian Qing noticed he was acting a bit odd. Han Yang sniffed his nose, his voice a bit hoarse as he asked, ¡°Why are you so good to me?¡± ¡°Why, hm? ¡± Helian Qing thought about it, then replied, ¡°It¡¯s probably because I¡¯m a good man, right? I don¡¯t want to see you crying, okay. It¡¯s too ugly.¡± [T/n: the word for ugly used here also means embarrassing] Bull-crap. Han Yang said internally. It¡¯s obviously because you love me...you¡¯ve loved me for such a long time. Han Yang did not expose him. Since Helian Qing wanted to conceal it, he chose to treat the matter as something he had never discovered in the first ce ¡°Helian Qing...¡± hugging for a while, Han Yang finally spoke. ¡°Hm?¡± Helian Qing replied. ¡°Please let me down,¡± Han Yang said. This kind of position was to embarrassing, as there will always be this kind of feeling after performing such a jarring action. ¡°Let you down?¡± Helian Qing raised a brow, ¡°Who was the one whounched himself like a rocket onto me a moment ago?¡± Han Yang¡¯s face became flushed by his words, it was just that a moment ago he was simply too moved. Knowing that Princess Qing held such a big secret in his heart made him unable to restrain his repressed emotions, thus giving him the urge to do something so embarrassing. ¡°Hm? Where did all that vigor you just had go, huh?¡± Helian Qing dragged his hand over the other¡¯s buttocks, pinching it harshly, ¡°Scared?¡± All those stirred up emotions he felt from his discovery of that Princess Qing¡¯s secretly being in love with him had yet to be tempered, and now because of that man¡¯s teasing, Han Yang¡¯s mind grew heated, causing him to cup the man¡¯s face and go straight in for a kiss, delivering a reckless kiss against his lips. Left speechless by this sort of dog-licking like attempt at a kiss, Helian Qing carried that person straight to their bed and pressed him down, switching their positions to one where he was the one now on the attack. That thing from just a moment ago had given Han Yang such a great impact, he wanted very much to be more close to Helian Qing¡ªjust a little closer¡ªwishing that he could fuse himself together with that man as only this method would quell the surging tides within his heart. [T/n: the impact mentioned is specifically from a thrust or great force, *wink*] This was probably the most euphoric experience the two have had; there joining bodies seeming to stem from a cry within their souls, causing both of their hearts¡ªtheir spirits, to tremble; each wishing the other would be wrapped within their own body. ** The next day, Helian Qing was already gone by the time Han Yang woke. With it being the day of the conference for hispany¡¯s new product, it was mandatory for him to be present. The pillow beside him, still holding the onto Helian Qing¡¯s scent, was then embraced by him followed by the inhtion of a deep breath; the sensation he felt of himself being surrounded by this scent giving him an extremelyfortable feeling. Lying back on the bed again for a while, Han Yang finally got up a little past ten to wash up, all because Helian Qing¡¯s news conference was to be aired at eleven o¡¯clock. Being kept warm in the kitchen, was the breakfast Helian Qing went out to buy, so Han Yang took the warm milk, the pancakes and the dumpling with him as he went to turn on the television to the station to watch press conference of Helian Qing andpany. At the moment, it was still not the time for the event to begin, so Han Yang ate his breakfast while he waited. After he finished his breakfast it was finally the time, as Helian Qing just appeared at the site of the conference. Han Yang noticed that even though it such a situation, Helian Qing¡¯s attitude was neither cold nor warm, and his answers to the reporters¡¯ questions were also very simple. Sometimes, those answers even just had a couple words, which were extremely simple and crude. At the news conference, everything was arranged in advance, but there was one reporter who thought that ce was suitable for gossip. As the event came near to its end, this famous reporter suddenly put forward a questionpletely unrted to the conference¡¯s topic, saying, ¡°Mr. Helian, ording to a reliable source, is it true that you already got married secretly?¡± With this subject out, the venue was now in an uproar, with other reporters echoing this question one after the other. The Helian Group¡¯s public rtions staff members upon seeing this, at once, changed the topic however Helian Qing raised his hand to stop them, and surprisingly, gave the response, ¡°Since you stated your source is reliable, what are doing asking me?¡± When Helian Qing made that statement his expression was extremely cold, while he looked as if he was staring at aplete fool. ¡°Mr. Helian, may I please ask you if it is true that you¡¯ve gotten married? Or, is it still just a rumour?¡± the reporter continued to ask. Helian Qing¡¯s finger tapped the table; the entire venue was in a state of silence until a few moments afterwards when he said one, single, word: ¡°Yes.¡± This reply made a wave of silencee over the scene, immediately followed by even more bustling andmotion, as an increase number of reporterspeted to ask their questions: ¡°May I ask when did you register? Why haven¡¯t you held your wedding ceremony so far, and may I also ask when your nning to do so? May I be so bold as to ask where your wife is? Someone said they saw you with a younger person at the civil affairs office, is that true?¡± Han Yang never expected Helian Qing would admit to their marriage at the press conference. Astonished, he stared on at the television screen, looking at the man calmly say, ¡°Exactly when the registration took ce is my personal business. As for the ceremony, I too would like to ask since that person is watching the television right now.¡± Helian Qing lifted his chin faintly, seeming as if he was speaking to Han Yang through the camera, saying, ¡°When are you going to marry me?¡± Han Yang, who was twirling the chopsticks in his hand, dropped them onto the table, not daring to believe what he just saw on the television. He looked on as Helian Qing stood up then left the conference after he spoke, and the reporters who wanted to follow him afterwards be blocked by the security guards. ...was this a marriage proposal? Han Yang covered his face. It was simply indescribable that this person would propose at a news conference. Every bit of this person was not good at all!!! Qing G¨¦ge, is this you wanting to be some kind of heartthrob [2]!! Han Yang could already imagine what the next day¡¯s news headline would be... ..........................................?? Notes: [1] °àÖ÷ÈÎ: banzhuren: the head teacher in charge of a ss. So, form teacher, for secondary schools; and homeroom teacher for high schools.

So a heartthrob, I guess. (I¡¯m having a hard time ¡°englishing¡± this one Chapter 23 Chapter 23 T/n: Italicized ¡°you(s)¡± show the use of the formal/respectful ¡®Äú¡¯,pared to the casual ¡®Ä㡯.

WeChat is a Chinese messenger app, kinda like WhatsApp. (I may have forgotten to mention thisst time) ____________________________ After Han Yang finished taking his exams, he did not return home. This was because he still had to go over to Dr. Chen Qingqing¡¯s, since his course of treatment had yet to bepleted. Normally, when returning to his home town, Han Yang would take a train given how affordable its fare was, in addition to student only having to pay half the price. So, despite the fact the journey was indeed much longer, he would also have the opportunity to get a bed. But this time around, Helian Qing had given him a ne ticket, and when the day for him to leave came, that man also dropped him off at the airport. Helian Qing had originally intended to go back with him, but at the end of the year hispany had be considerably busier, and for the time being, he was still unable to leave. So all he could do now, was wear a sour-look on his face as he sent the other person off. ¡°You always look so handsome, don¡¯t put such a sour look on your face, okay?¡± Han Yang pinched the man¡¯s cheek, teasing him. Helian Qing, in turn, looked at him expressionlessly, silently disying his irritation. Using the man¡¯s shoulders for support, Han Yang¡ªtiptoeing slightly¡ªkissed the other on his lips, coaxing, ¡°I¡¯ll be back at the start of the new school term. You¡¯ll be fine at home with Aunty Su and the others.¡± With thed¡¯s kiss Helian Qing¡¯splexion got a little better, but upon hearing what he said afterwards he simply felt unhappy, asking stiffly, ¡°The start of the school term?¡± When you leave now there¡¯s still almost a month before the semester begins. ¡°I want to spend more time at home with Grandpa.¡± Han Yang squeezed the man¡¯s hands held within his own, ¡°You know he¡¯s the only one at home, and it¡¯s very lonely there.¡± Helian Qing hummed, changing the topic, ¡°Have you thought it over?¡± Han Yang listened to him as he asked this again, coughing lightly, before saying, ¡°First I¡¯ll go back and talk to Grandpa.¡± Thest time he asked that question was at the press conference. Then on that same night he returned, pressed Han Yang against a wall to ask that very question once more. With regard to their wedding, Han Yang actually had no objections¡ªin fact, it could be said he looked forward to it. After all, he too wanted to have a formal ceremony with his loved ones in attendance, but he also wanted to discuss it with his grandfather first. Since if he truly wanted to do this, he hoped that his grandfather would be there, and he would get the elder man¡¯s blessings. Helian Qing naturally understood thed¡¯s way of thinking, as well as knowing how important his sole rtive was to him. If he had not, he would have kidnapped that Salted Fish and taken him to a church a long time ago! Seeing the man¡¯s lips pursed along with his silence, Han Yang pinched the corners of the man¡¯s mouth with his fingers, smiling as he said, ¡°I promise you, it¡¯ll be soon. Grandpa is a very good person; I definitely will not turn my back on you.¡± ¡°Ha.¡± Helian Qingughed coldly. ¡°Who exactly would turn their back on who?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t turn your back on me.¡± Han Yang immediately modified hisst statement, ¡°Satisfied now?¡± Helian Qing was a bit satisfied at the moment, again reaching out to encircle the scarf Han Yang wore around his neck, saying, ¡°Where a bit moreyers when you return, and wait for me toe meet you.¡± ¡°What meeting...¡± the sharp gaze the man swept towards Han Yang made him switch his topic, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you toe meet me.¡± It was currently already the time for the security check, so Han Yang took his suitcase and said, ¡°I have to go now. You should hurry and get back home, I¡¯ll call you when I get there.¡± With arms outstretched, Helian Qing took the other man into his embrace¡ªhugging him vigorously¡ªthen let him go, shooing him away, ¡°Go on, hurry!¡± Han Yang thought the gesture he made to drive him off was rather funny. Pulling his suitcase behind him, he went over to the security check point. Done with the inspection Han Yang took a look back, discovering Helian Qing still stood in the same spot with his gaze turned towards him. He waved at the man, who nodded in return, then made an ¡°I call you¡± gesture with his hands before he turned and left. Once he arrived at Y-City, Han Yang gave Helian Qing a call as soon as he was out of the airport. He told him he had already gotten off the ne, and was nning to head straight to the transfer station then back to his vige. Helian Qing was presently in the middle of a meeting, so after urging him to be careful on his way there, he ended the call. By the time Han Yang made it to the station the train had just arrived when Grandpa called, asking him when he nned oning back home. Han Yang had not mentioned to his grandfather that this day was the one he would be returning home because every time he went back, the elderly man would always wait for him at the entrance to their vige. Han Yang would then worry about whether he had waited a long time, so for this reason he simply did not tell. ¡°I¡¯ming back today, and I¡¯m already on my way.¡± Since he had already made it halfway there, Han Yang did not hide it. ¡°Really? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? I should hurry and go buy some groceries to give you a tasty meal then!¡± Grandpa¡¯s voice sounded very excited. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to rush, I¡¯ll go with you when I get there,¡± Han Yang said with augh. ¡°Okay, alright,¡± Grandpa replied giddily. ¡°Oh, by the way, youing back today is really great, because there something I really need you toe back and confirm.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Han Yang asked. ¡°I¡¯ll wait until you get here to tell you, so let¡¯s not talk about it now, alright¡ªphone calls are pricey. Remember to be careful on your way, you understand right?¡± Grandpa kept him in suspense, but from the way he said it, it should be a good thing. ¡°Yeah. You shouldn¡¯te out to wait for me, okay,¡± Han Yang added before he hung up the phone. After ending the call, he had nned on taking a nap until he saw there was a WeChat message Qing G¨¦ge had sent. Han Yang opened it to see that it was a picture of a salted fish carrying a bag on it¡¯s back, walking under the sun. Was this describing him? Han Yangughed. Salted Fish: Is your meeting over? Qing G¨¦ge: Yeah. Where are you? Salted Fish: I¡¯m just about halfway there. Where did you get so many salted fish, huh? Qing G¨¦ge: They¡¯re kept[1] at home. Because of his clowning around, Han Yang held on to his phone and chatted along with him on WeChat. The ount Helian Qing used was the one Han Yang had set upst time, where the name was just Qing G¨¦ge and the profile picture was a cartoon princess¡¯ headdress. His, however, was named Saltfish, and his profile picture was a cartoon salted fish. For his signature, Han Yang had: My Qing G¨¦ge; while Helian Qing¡¯s was: My Saltfish. One time, when he was in ss, Han Yang had his chat with Helian Qing seen by She Zhang, who cried out ¡°It¡¯s burning my eyes¡± [2], before saying, ¡°They won¡¯t give us single fes a way to survive at all!¡± After messaging each other for a while, Helian Qing got busy with work again, so Han Yang put his phone back into his bag then got some rest. Getting to the small town at the outskirts of the city took two hours, and following his arrival to this town, Han Yang went to find a motorcycle taxi to take him to his vige. When the vehicle arrived at the vige¡¯s entrance, Han Yang got off, then gave out a few snacks he brought back with him to the children of a couple families who lived near the entrance. Han Yang¡¯s house was not far from the entrance, just about three to five minutes away. Plus, the road to the vige was also paved, so dragging along a suitcase posed no difficulty for him as well. Finally making his way to the front yard of his house, Han Yang pushed open the gate, calling out, ¡°Grandpa!¡± then went in. Just as his call ended, a short old man wearing an army green cotton-padded coat along with a matching cap, came out from inside the house. ¡°Oh my gosh, my baby boy finally came back!¡± Grandpa giddily scuttled over to meet him, trying to take the the suitcase thed had in tow. Han Yang evaded his hands, grinning as he said, ¡°I can carry it myself. Let¡¯s get inside quickly, it¡¯s too cold out here.¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. Get inside quickly and warm up by the fire. So, was the trip here cold?¡± Grandpa pulled him into the house. ¡°No, it wasn¡¯t cold. I wore enoughyers.¡± Han Yang grinned as he went inside with him, adding while walking beside him, ¡°But, the house is also nice and toasty, and warming up next to you by the fire is the warmest of all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Grandpa will get you a baked sweet potato; have you had lunch as yet?¡± Grandpa asked. ¡°I have. You don¡¯t need to busy yourself, if there¡¯s anything I can...¡± Han Yang¡¯s words came to an abrupt halt. With one foot still outside the threshold, he stared at the two people inside the house for a while without the slightest reaction. Seeing he was rather uneasy, the other party did not dare look at him while they stood beside the firece. Han Yang pulled his suitcase inside, knitted his brows slightly, looking at them, ¡°Why are the two of you here?¡± Currently standing in that room were the two who used him to repay their debt to Helian Qing¡ªhis parents. Han Yang had thought he would never againy eyes on them, even more so, that it would happen at his home. Upon noticing his displeasure, those people grew even more anxious; avoiding his gaze by turning their attention towards his grandfather. Grandpa pulled Han Yang aside, exining, ¡°Xiao Yang, these two guests just came to our ce today, saying they wanted to find the son they had lost many years ago, and the description they gave of their child was remarkably simr to you at that age. They just happened to be are the vige¡¯s entrance when they ran into A¡¯Gui¡¯s wife, who just brought them over. I even asked them a few things about you, and it was also really simr! So can you check them out quickly to see whether or not they¡¯re your mama and papa?¡± ¡°Xiao Yang...¡± the middle aged woman called out to him. Han Yang threw her a nce, not responding, and instead turned to his grandfather to say, ¡°Grandpa, didn¡¯t I tell you not to bring any and everyone back home. You¡¯re here alone, what if something happened to you?¡± ¡°No... we¡¯re not...¡± the middle-aged man tried to exin but Han Yang interrupted him, stating: ¡°I was not talking to you.¡± The middle aged man was struck dumb, his mouth gaping, not knowing what to say. Grandpa, ignoring that, added, ¡°What could I do? A¡¯Gui¡¯s wife was here with me from the start, and only left just a moment ago.¡± ¡°Xiao Yang, you mustn¡¯t misunderstand, we don¡¯t have any other intentions. We were just celebrating the New Year and thought ofing to see you,¡± the middle-aged woman borated, her eyes carrying concern. Han Yang did not look at her, choosing to help Grandpa take a seat before he said, ¡°Now you¡¯ve seen me, so now both of you can go.¡± ¡°Xiao Yang...¡± the middle-aged woman still wanted to say something, but Han Yang cut her off to say: ¡°Leave.¡± ¡°Leave? What¡¯s going on here?¡± Grandpa, not understanding the situation, asked. Turning to look at those three persons, before questioning Han Yang, ¡°Xiao Yang, do you know them? Are they not your parents?¡± ¡°Yes-yes-yes! We are!¡± the middle-aged woman dered excitedly, fearing Han Yang would overrule them. ¡°We are Xiao Yang¡¯s¡ª¡± ¡°Not anymore!¡± Han Yang interjected in a slightly raised tone, turning to look at the woman after he spoke, then repeated, ¡°Now, you aren¡¯t anymore.¡± The middle-aged woman seemed to as if she were in contemtion, remained mum for a few seconds before craning her head downwards then covering her mouth; appearing to now be in tears. Beside her, the middle-aged man also wore a rigid expression, as he just stood there awkwardly. ¡°So are they or aren¡¯t they, huh?¡± Grandpa was simply confused by them. Hang Yang pursed his lips, not saying a word. But the middle-aged man, after a period of hesitation, then said, ¡°Xiao Yang, we know we don¡¯t deserve you, but we don¡¯t want to do anything other than spend New Year¡¯s with you.¡± ¡°New Year¡¯s?¡± Han Yang repeated, then asked, ¡°Then why, in all those years that have gone by, didn¡¯t youe find me to celebrate the New Year? Since you were able to find me here now, why exactly were you unable to do so before?¡± The man¡¯s face was forced to fluster because of the younger man¡¯s gaze, with even more shame forming within his heart, as he then hurriedly exined, ¡°I know you still me us for using you to repay out debts, but you must also understand that we were at the end of our ropes! Plus, despite the fact that Mr. Helian is a man, you being married off to him isn¡¯t without benefits. You see, right not you may not be doing well but¡ª¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Han Yang yelled in anger, cutting him off, looking back at his grandfather who did not understand, then shouted towards those people to drive them out: ¡°I told you to leave my house, now!¡± ¡°What debt? What man?¡± Grandpa held on to a few key words. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Grandpa. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Han Yang patted the older gentleman¡¯s shoulder. As a man who lived most of his life, Grandpa had seen quite a lot of people and things, so immediately¡ªjust from witnessing Han Yang¡¯s attitude¡ªhe had discerned that they have already met. Besides that, he could also tell that those two had done something bad to Han Yang. Otherwise Han Yang, given his temperament, would be very unlikely to have treated them so coldly. Although he still did not know the specific details regarding the matter, he did however remember that his precious grandson may have been wronged, thus the shield over his heart exploded. Searching beside him, Grandpa grabbed hold of a broom and drove those people out. ¡°Get the hell out! Go, get out, leave! Don¡¯t be a nuisance in our home!¡± Literally shooing those people away, bringing the matter to a close. ¡°I¡¯m so pissed.¡± Grandpa took a seat on a stool, panting, broom still in hand. ¡°I went and invited those wolves into the house!¡± Han Yang took the broom from the old man, putting it aside, then stroked his back. After he caught his breath, Grandpa turned to thed and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Xiao Yang, are those two really your parents?¡± Han Yang nodded. Although he did not want to admit it, they were however, his parents by blood. ¡°Then what did those things they said mean? Have you met them before?¡± Grandpa continued to ask. ¡°We met.¡± Han Yang sat beside him, then told him about the situation regarding his parents¡¯ debt repayment. ¡°Utterly unconscionable [3]!!¡±Finding out Han Yang¡¯s birth-givers had used him to pay off their debt made Grandpa infuriated to the point where he rose to his feet, took up the broom, intending to chase after those people and beat them up, prompting Han Yang to hurriedly move to hold him him back. ¡°How could such a callous set of parents exist in this world!¡± Grandpa cursed. ¡°They even went as far as using their own son as reimbursement!¡± If it was before, maybe Han Yang would have felt sad, but now, he simply felt nothing at all. Not caring about one¡¯s own blood rtions was no different than saying they were not worth having one¡¯s concern. After ranted on for a good while, Grandpa stopped, recalling something else which prompted him to ask, ¡°What was that ¡®you being married¡¯ thing that son of a bitch mentioned? Didn¡¯t you repay the debt withbour? So why are you married again?¡± Han Yang, rubbed his nose, then revealed he and Helian Wing had already registered their marriage. ¡°What?!¡± Grandpa jumped from his seat upon hearing wat thed had said. ¡°Did that guy force you? Grandpa will go sort him out!¡± Yet again going to grab his broom while Han Yang struggled to hold him back. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯m alright. Grandpa, you have to listen to everything I have to say first!¡± ¡°Exin.¡± Grandpa sat down, resting the broom across hisp, wearing an ¡°After you¡¯re done exining¡ªI¡¯m still gonna to go get him¡± look. Han Yang was detailed in his exnation of the situation between Helian Qing and himself; putting a lot of emphasis on the part where Helian Qing made arrangements for a doctor to treat his legs, as well as the man¡¯s own efforts to learn the massages to help him rub them. Grandpa, still doubtful about the matter, asked, ¡°Really? You¡¯re not trying to trick Grandpa, right?¡± ¡°Really.¡± Han Yang replied in assurance. ¡°Didn¡¯t I mention to you before that I was having my legs treated, well the one who arranged it was him.¡± ¡°So, how are you doing now¡ªdid it work?¡± Grandpa reached out to rub Han Yang¡¯s knee, asking regretfully, ¡°Do they still hurt?¡± ¡°No, it doesn¡¯t hurt. You don¡¯t have to worry,¡± Han Yang said with a smile. After this stage of his treatment, to some degree his knee really did get better; and Dr. Chen had said if they kept at it, it would get much better in the future. ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s really good,¡± Grandpa, feeling a sense of gratitude, nodded. From the beginning he had been distressed over Han Yang¡¯s legs, and always med himself for not having run into Han Yang earlier. Han Yang embraced him around his shoulders, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, okay. He¡¯s very good to me.¡± Grandpa nodded, then asked, ¡°Then why didn¡¯t hee back here with you?¡± ¡°He¡¯s busy at work. He¡¯s been working overtime for the past few days,¡± Han Yang replied. ¡°Oh... Striving to better oneself is good thing,¡± Grandpa stated. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say a little while ago that his grandfather wanted to y a game of Chinese Chess with me?¡± ¡°Yeah. Lao Yezi heard that you taught me all of my chess skills, and wishes very much to be able to y a round with you.¡± Han Yang passed on Lao Yezi¡¯s words. Having heard him, Grandpa could not help but straighten his back and proudly dering, ¡°Of course I will! I¡¯m someone who started ying chess when I was just six years old. When I have some time, I make sure to go find him to y a round or two and frustrate his spirit to no end!¡± Witnessing such a fierce sideing from the older man, Han Yang fawned all over him¡ªbeing swept away by his grandfather¡¯s racket, andpletely forgetting about his matter with Helian Qing. Later that night when Han Yang was in bed, he video chatted with Helian Qing¡ªnot at all telling him that his grandfather already knew about them, as he nned to give him that surprise upon his return. Following the end of their chat, Han Yang hugging a pillow, rolled around on his bed, discovering he could not fall asleep. This had only been the first day since his departure, yet he already began missing Helian Qing. Previously, being alone had felt good to him, but now, he had grown ustomed to sleeping as a pair; and to his surprise, even the covers felt a little cold. Rolling around in a good few circles, Han Yang could not help but send Helian Qing another message via WeChat. Quite a while passed since the message had been sent with no response in return, so all he could then do was put aside his phone, and force himself to get some rest. After some time, he really did manage to fall asleep;pletely unaware that after Helian Qing returned from his bath then saw the message: ¡°I can¡¯t sleep without you¡±, would end up spending the rest of his night sleepless. The next day, Han Yang had thoroughlye to understand the saying: a day apart seems like a lifetime [4]. Everyday, without fail, he would video chat with Helian Qing, but he would also feel like it was not enough. Because he could not touch him, he missed Helian Qing¡¯s embrace; because he could not feel him, he missed the heat of his body. When the thought of there still being almost an entire month until he could meet the other man, Han Yang felt it was too hard to bear; but when he thought of going back earlier, he hated the idea of having to part with his grandfather so soon. Those feelings carried on until the night of that very day when he received a call from Helian Qing. A strange feeling filled him the moment he saw the I¡¯ming call from the man, after all, they had just chatted a little while ago, why would he be calling all of a sudden. ¡°Why did you call me all of a sudden?¡± Han Yang answered the call and asked. ¡°Do I have to ask for permission to call you?¡± Helian Qing responded to his question with his own. ¡°Of course you don¡¯t! For you, there¡¯s a 24-hour standby,¡± Han Yang said in jest, poking the coal inside the fire pit with a poker. ¡°Good to know.¡± Helian Qing, now satisfied, paid hisment no mind to then ask, ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°At home, by the fire. Where are you? And how big did the rumour get?¡± Han Yang asked out of curiosity. ¡°Tch! The signal from there is too poor,¡± Helian Qing said with disdain, ¡°Move to somewhere with a better signal, talking right now is too difficult.¡± ¡°Oh, wait a bit, I¡¯ll go to the patio.¡± Han Yang stood up then went outside. When he got to the patio he asked, ¡°Is it better now? It¡¯s windy outside, can you hear me clearly?¡± ¡°I can hear you clearly, I can see you clearly too,¡± Helian Qing revealed. ¡°Turn around, look to your nine o¡¯clock [5].¡± ¡°What nine o¡¯clock, what are you...¡± his words came to an abrupt stop, while his fingers were almost unable to hold onto the phone. Outside the low wall bordering the yard, wearing a long ck overcoat, with the dark grey scarf Han Yang had gifted him wrapped around his neck, was Helian Qing, who then said into the phone held in his hand, ¡°It¡¯s so damn cold.¡± ...............:).........(:................

I¡¯m at your six right now in spirit, don¡¯t turn around:) Chapter 24 T/n: Chinese New Year = Spring Festival _______________________ In that instant, once heid eyes on Helian Qing, Han Yang¡¯s mind drew a nk. That was a given, since someone who was once far away all of a sudden appearing before one¡¯s eyes, would of course seem as if it were a dream. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to get over here and give me a hug?¡± Helian Qing¡¯s voice travelled through the phone held tightly against thed¡¯s ear¡ªhuskily¡ªcarrying with it a tititing heat on that cold winter night, prating his ear, going all the way to his heart. When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door. When He Lianqing did not see his gaze, he said to his grandfather: ¡°I will take the liberty and ask the father to forgive me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, you areing.¡± Grandpa said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Eat.¡± He Lianqing said, just after he finished his stomach, he rang. grandfather:¡±¡­¡­¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Han Hao did not hold back, and smiled to the side, and He Lianqing stretched his face and did not speak, secretly swearing. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet? There are still many dishes today. I will give you a hot meal.¡± Grandpa said, he stood up. He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV. Han Wei took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that Grandpa¡¯s eyes had followed him, and he could not help but straighten his back. When he arrived at the kitchen, He Lianqing immediately pulled Han Han into his arms and bowed his head. These days, Han Han also missed him very much and responded with his hand on his back. Although both of them are reluctant to separate, but now the time is wrong, Grandpa is still outside the living room, can only stop trying to stop the thirst. Han Hao touched He Lianqing with a tired eyebrow, some distressed. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said, ¡°I will feel bad after taking care of my stomach first.¡± Han Yu remembered the sound of his stomach just now, smiled, let him sit aside and help him hot dishes. Han Wei gave He Lianqing two hot dishes, and gave him a simple egg soup, and then brought the dish to the dinner table in the living room for him to eat. After eating, He Lianqing naturally stayed at Han Han¡¯s house. Grandpa slept early, talked with them for a while and went to sleep, leaving two people to roast in the living room. Han Hao leaned on the shoulders of He Lianqing, his fingers pressed against his palms, slowly drawing along the lines of his palm, and he said, ¡°Howe you didn¡¯t tell me? Work is busy.¡± ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s busy.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his palm and held his finger in his palm. He whispered, ¡°Is not happy to see me?¡± ¡°Happy.¡± Han Han looked up at him, his eyes were smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to be happy.¡± ¡°Happiness is so low-key?¡± He Lianqing turned his cheeks and said something. Han Hao took a close look and kissed him, whispered: ¡°Happy?¡± He Lianqing nodded boldly and stretched his hand to pinch his back neck. Although He Lianqing was in a hurry, he also prepared two sets of changing clothes in advance, which was obviously going to be overnight. Han Han took him to the bath and they returned to the room. As the saying goes, the little wins the newlyweds, and they can¡¯t help but feel touched when they lie down, but they are not doing thest thing because Grandpa is next door. Han Wei gasped in the chest of He Lianqing, and his ears listened to the heartbeat from his chest, and felt that his heart was very satisfied. Your loved ones and loved ones are around, which is probably the happiest thing. ¡°He Lianqing.¡± Han Han called him. ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing touched his back through his pajamas. ¡°I told our grandfather about our business.¡± Han Yu said. He Lianqing¡¯s hand paused, and some idents: ¡°When?¡± ¡°I came back that day.¡± Han Yu said things about her parents. He Lianqing listened to his face slightly cold, ¡°I know.¡± Han Hao heard the dissatisfaction in his voice, raised his hand and touched his chin and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t care.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said with dissatisfaction: ¡°Are you scratching the cat?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Han Han shook his head. ¡°If you are a cat, I will be miserable.¡± Cats eat fish and dogs eat meat. He Lianqing understood what he meant, his palms slid down, stopped at his waist and gently kneaded and said, ¡°Not a cat, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han nced at him and turned to lie down and asked him. ¡°Are youing over with the vegetarians? Are you not too good for the New Year?¡± ¡°You are not happy?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Happy is happy¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing snorted and looked at him. ¡°I am not good at my wife¡¯s family?¡± What is the maiden¡­is really shameful. Han Xin thought of it, but could not suppress the sweetness of the heart. He took He Lianqing¡¯s waist and rubbed his ear and said, ¡°Get up and sleep, you are tired after a day.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing responded and pulled the quilt against his chin. He is really tired, working overtime for several days, is to make time toe to Han Han. When he finished this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, and got off the ne to change the car all the way. The whole person was very tired. * Probably because of the change of ce, He Lianqing didn¡¯t sleep well, and woke up the next day without dawn. He mmed his bed down and helped Han Han¡¯s quilt to put on his clothes and left the room. When he just went out, he saw his grandfathering out of the kitchen with a fire pot. He quickly tried to help. The elderly feel less, so they get up early, and Grandpa gets up early to burn the carbon fire. He avoided the hand of He Lianqing and put the brazier to the ce where the living room was usually grilled. He said, ¡°I wille by myself. Don¡¯t let the gray stain your hands.¡± ¡°Is there anything I need to do?¡± He Lianqing stood by and asked, always feeling what to do in order to be practical. ¡°You don¡¯t have to, you sit and roast the fire, I will pick up some foodter.¡± Grandpa said to wash his hands and went to the kitchen to take the basket to go out, and He Lianqing followed. Grandpa saw him going, stopped and looked at the woolen sweater on his body that looked very expensive. He said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go back and wear a coat. Don¡¯t wear thest night. It¡¯s easy to get in the ground. dirty.¡± He Lianqing only wore a coat and said, ¡°Nothing, go back and wash.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be done, your clothes are dirty and can¡¯t be washed.¡± Grandpa thought for a moment, stuffed the basket and said in his hand, ¡°I¡¯m going to get you one¡± and went into the house. He Lianqing still didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the phrase ¡°take a piece¡±. Grandpa came out of the house, took a green cotton quilt in his hand, and handed it to He Lianqing, saying: ¡°Wear this, dirty. ¡°¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± The jacket is worn by my grandfather when he is at home. In order to wear more clothes inside, the size is quiterge. Although He Lianqing wears it a little shorter, the size is still fit. But this green flower makes him in love. Grandpa still wants to find him a pair of liberation shoes, he was firmly rejected. On the way to the vegetable garden, I met several neighbors. I was curious about the face of He Lianqing, and asked a grandfather to ask a few words. Grandpa said happily that he was a friend of Han Yu and came to y at home. He Lianqing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, standing on the side of the vegetable basket with a nk expression, and sucking the salted fish lying on the bed several times. Grandpa usually has nothing to do at home, except for ying chess is a variety of dishes and looking for children to y, a small piece of vegetable garden at home is very well managed by him. He Lianqing stepped on the soft soil and pulled the trousers and asked: ¡°What to pick?¡± Grandpa pointed the radish and cabbage and took him to the past. He Lianqing bent down and grabbed the roots of the radish seedlings, pulling out a small half of the tail. He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t do this!¡± Grandpa looked at him and shook his head. He walked over and taught him: ¡°Open a little bit of soil around the radish, shake it a few times and pull it out.¡± The sunny geek, who was said to be unable to do it by his grandfather, stared at the radish in his hand and had the urge to nt it back. ¡°Come on, try again.¡± Grandpa put a good radish in the basket. He Lianqing did as he did, and sessfully pulled out severalplete radishes. Then he found that he had fallen to the point where he had a sense of aplishment. On the way back from the meal, Grandpa and He Lianqing talked about Han Xiao¡¯s childhood. Han Yu was very sensible since he was a child. He didn¡¯t care about him at all. When he was very young, he helped him with his housework. When he was in elementary school, he never told him because he had no parents who were excluded from his ssmates. The children in the fight have been fighting in conflict, and he still does not know that Han Han was wronged at school. ¡°Oh, I was too careless at the time, I didn¡¯t notice that Xiao Yan was ufortable.¡± Grandpa sighed and said that these things are very self-me. ¡°No,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°You have done a good job. Han Hao can meet you and he is lucky.¡± ¡°I am not the old man.¡± Grandpaughed. He lost his children in middle age, because Han Han¡¯ster life was not so lonely. He Lianqing suddenly stopped, and Grandpa looked back at him: ¡°What?¡± He Lianqing looked solemnly at Grandpa and said sincerely: ¡°Thank you for your education so well, you have worked hard.¡± Grandpa stunned and watched the tall man bend over his eyes, his eyes moist, and said: ¡°Don¡¯t say that, he is my grandson, I should do whatever I do.¡± He said he went over and took it. Taking the arm of He Lianqing, I said with relief: ¡°I will take care of you in the future, ah?¡± He Lianqing firmly nodded: ¡°You can rest assured that you and he are taken care of by me.¡± Grandpa patted his hand and suddenly paused to understand why Han Han liked him. The two returned home with the dishes, Han Han has also got up, and is washing rice in the yard to prepare rice. After seeing He Lianqing, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a basket of vegetables, he mmed it. He almost did not pour the rice in the pot with the water. When he reacted, he held his stomach and squatted on the floor andughed straight. He Lianqing put the dish aside, went to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down from him from top to bottom, and asked coldly: ¡°Is it funny?¡± If you usually hear He Lianqing, Han Han must see the wind and make the rudder p, but Han Hao can¡¯t help but see the big cotton quilt on his body. He smiles and trembles with a smile: No¡­ not very funny, it¡¯s so funny, hahahahahahaha!!¡± He Lianqing looked at him with a nk expression, let himugh enough, and the storm was brewing in the eyes. Afterughing for half a minute, Han Yu only slowed down a bit, licking He Lianqing¡¯s trouser legs and said intermittently: ¡°Gig, your image is simply going online before going home, after going home, haha¡­ No, I want to shoot you. Go back and look back to Su Shi.¡± Speaking of getting up to get the phone, just two steps away, He Lianqing hugged from behind. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him in his arms. He bowed his head and said coldly in his ear: ¡°Photographed? I haven¡¯t seen it for a few days, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger?¡± ¡°No, no, no, hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yu smiled and swallowed his stomach. ¡°You let me go, hey, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it.¡± He Lianqing listened to him saying that his stomach hurts, loosened his hand and helped him to lick his stomach. The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. Before Han Yang came to his senses, his body reacted one step faster. He ran withrge strides, pulled open the gate of the front yard then bolted straight into Helian Qing¡¯s waiting arms. Helian Qing¡¯s body carried a cold air, yet all Han Yang felt was warmth¡ªa warmth that only came from Helian Qing. Thed held on to the man¡¯s waist tightly, his face buried within the other¡¯s chest as he inhaled deeply, his eyes heated¡ªteary. Helian Qing held the back of the smaller man¡¯s head with his palm, stroking slowly. The split second in which the youth tossed himself into his embrace, made all the longing of those days past appear as if they had atst found their ce of rest. ¡°Xiao Yang,¡± Grandpa¡¯s voice sounded from inside the house, waking the two. Han Yang released Helian Qing, turning to answer the elderly man¡¯s call, before pulling Helian Qing inside the yard. It is. Han Hao saw him and made a joke: ¡°I knew that you would wear a grandfather and arge cotton jacket.¡± He Lianqing¡¯s face was ck and sneered: ¡°You¡¯re arrogant, it¡¯s been a few days.¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Forgetting to start school is going back. Han Yu coughed and pretended to know what he couldn¡¯t understand and went to the car to go home. The new year was set up, and the house was cleaned up, and then I waited for New Year¡¯s Eve. On the day before New Year¡¯s Eve, Han Han couldn¡¯t help but ask He Lianqing: ¡°Do you really want to go back to the New Year?¡± ¡°How many times do you want to ask? Salted fish and goldfish are half-brothers?¡± He Lianqing nced at him with a mockery. This is ironic that his memory is poor. Han Yu¡¯s mouth smacked and said, ¡°I just don¡¯t think it¡¯s very good. I¡¯m sure they want you to go back to New Year. After all, they are your mom and dad.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also your mom and dad.¡± He Lianqing interrupted him and touched his earlobe. ¡°Moreon, they are already on the road.¡± ¡°What?¡± Han stunned. ¡°On the road.¡± He Lianqing showed a meaningful smile, ¡°I will be there in the afternoon, clean up and prepare for your father-inw.¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa had just exited the kitchen with a sweet potato in hand. Not seeing Han Yang once he came out, he simply thought that thed had gone somewhere else, not at all expecting the young man to bring another back with him, and so, for a short while he was shocked, after which he asked, ¡°And this is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helian Qing,¡± Han Yang exined, tugging Helian Qing by the hem of his scarf the saying to him, ¡°This is my grandad.¡± ¡°Hello, Grandfather.¡± Helian Qing gave a humble, respectful bow as he greeted the older man. Grandpa, upon hearing this name his own granddaughter-inw replied with, was immediately taken aback by the respectful approach he had taken, waving quickly: ¡°Hi, hello, there¡¯s no need for you to bow;e in and have a seat first, alright.¡± Han Yang pulled Helian Qing to sit in the seat next to the fire, saying, ¡°Hurry, warm up. Your hands are frozen stiff.¡± Such a disy of affection by Han Yang, in normal times, would have definitely resulted in more than a few sentences out of that cheap mouth of Helian Qing¡¯s; but before Han Yang¡¯s grandfather, he would never be so impudent, hence he simply nodded and ced his hands beside the fire. ¡°Why did youe here all of a sudden, huh?¡± Han Yang asked him, feeling the urge to reach out and help the other man rub his frigid fingers, but with his grandfather directly beside them all he could do was restrain himself in the end. ¡°I just passed by to have a look,¡± Helian Qing replied while the heat from the charcoal fire dispersed the cold air which lingered on his body, allowing the crinkled space between his brows to finally tten. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yang peered at the other man silently. Where could he have been going that it allowed him to pass by this family¡¯s front gate, huh! Helian Qing did not meet the younger man¡¯s eyes, instead turning to Grandpa to say, ¡°For taking the liberty of disturbing you, please ept my apologies, Grandfather.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to say all that, you¡¯re our guest,¡± Grandpa responded. ¡°Have you had dinner as yet?¡± ¡°I have,¡± Helian Qing answered, but just as he was done speaking, his stomach released a growl. Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± Han Yang: ¡°¡­¡± When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door. When He Lianqing did not see his gaze, he said to his grandfather: ¡°I will take the liberty and ask the father to forgive me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, you areing.¡± Grandpa said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Eat.¡± He Lianqing said, just after he finished his stomach, he rang. grandfather:¡±¡­¡­¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Han Hao did not hold back, and smiled to the side, and He Lianqing stretched his face and did not speak, secretly swearing. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet? There are still many dishes today. I will give you a hot meal.¡± Grandpa said, he stood up. He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV. Han Wei took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that Grandpa¡¯s eyes had followed him, and he could not help but straighten his back. When he arrived at the kitchen, He Lianqing immediately pulled Han Han into his arms and bowed his head. These days, Han Han also missed him very much and responded with his hand on his back. Although both of them are reluctant to separate, but now the time is wrong, Grandpa is still outside the living room, can only stop trying to stop the thirst. Han Hao touched He Lianqing with a tired eyebrow, some distressed. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said, ¡°I will feel bad after taking care of my stomach first.¡± Han Yu remembered the sound of his stomach just now, smiled, let him sit aside and help him hot dishes. Han Wei gave He Lianqing two hot dishes, and gave him a simple egg soup, and then brought the dish to the dinner table in the living room for him to eat. After eating, He Lianqing naturally stayed at Han Han¡¯s house. Grandpa slept early, talked with them for a while and went to sleep, leaving two people to roast in the living room. Han Hao leaned on the shoulders of He Lianqing, his fingers pressed against his palms, slowly drawing along the lines of his palm, and he said, ¡°Howe you didn¡¯t tell me? Work is busy.¡± ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s busy.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his palm and held his finger in his palm. He whispered, ¡°Is not happy to see me?¡± ¡°Happy.¡± Han Han looked up at him, his eyes were smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to be happy.¡± ¡°Happiness is so low-key?¡± He Lianqing turned his cheeks and said something. Han Hao took a close look and kissed him, whispered: ¡°Happy?¡± He Lianqing nodded boldly and stretched his hand to pinch his back neck. Although He Lianqing was in a hurry, he also prepared two sets of changing clothes in advance, which was obviously going to be overnight. Han Han took him to the bath and they returned to the room. As the saying goes, the little wins the newlyweds, and they can¡¯t help but feel touched when they lie down, but they are not doing thest thing because Grandpa is next door. Han Wei gasped in the chest of He Lianqing, and his ears listened to the heartbeat from his chest, and felt that his heart was very satisfied. Your loved ones and loved ones are around, which is probably the happiest thing. ¡°He Lianqing.¡± Han Han called him. ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing touched his back through his pajamas. ¡°I told our grandfather about our business.¡± Han Yu said. He Lianqing¡¯s hand paused, and some idents: ¡°When?¡± ¡°I came back that day.¡± Han Yu said things about her parents. He Lianqing listened to his face slightly cold, ¡°I know.¡± Han Hao heard the dissatisfaction in his voice, raised his hand and touched his chin and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t care.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said with dissatisfaction: ¡°Are you scratching the cat?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Han Han shook his head. ¡°If you are a cat, I will be miserable.¡± Cats eat fish and dogs eat meat. He Lianqing understood what he meant, his palms slid down, stopped at his waist and gently kneaded and said, ¡°Not a cat, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han nced at him and turned to lie down and asked him. ¡°Are youing over with the vegetarians? Are you not too good for the New Year?¡± ¡°You are not happy?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Happy is happy¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing snorted and looked at him. ¡°I am not good at my wife¡¯s family?¡± What is the maiden¡­is really shameful. Han Xin thought of it, but could not suppress the sweetness of the heart. He took He Lianqing¡¯s waist and rubbed his ear and said, ¡°Get up and sleep, you are tired after a day.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing responded and pulled the quilt against his chin. He is really tired, working overtime for several days, is to make time toe to Han Han. When he finished this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, and got off the ne to change the car all the way. The whole person was very tired. * Probably because of the change of ce, He Lianqing didn¡¯t sleep well, and woke up the next day without dawn. He mmed his bed down and helped Han Han¡¯s quilt to put on his clothes and left the room. When he just went out, he saw his grandfathering out of the kitchen with a fire pot. He quickly tried to help. The elderly feel less, so they get up early, and Grandpa gets up early to burn the carbon fire. He avoided the hand of He Lianqing and put the brazier to the ce where the living room was usually grilled. He said, ¡°I wille by myself. Don¡¯t let the gray stain your hands.¡± ¡°Is there anything I need to do?¡± He Lianqing stood by and asked, always feeling what to do in order to be practical. ¡°You don¡¯t have to, you sit and roast the fire, I will pick up some foodter.¡± Grandpa said to wash his hands and went to the kitchen to take the basket to go out, and He Lianqing followed. Grandpa saw him going, stopped and looked at the woolen sweater on his body that looked very expensive. He said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go back and wear a coat. Don¡¯t wear thest night. It¡¯s easy to get in the ground. dirty.¡± He Lianqing only wore a coat and said, ¡°Nothing, go back and wash.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be done, your clothes are dirty and can¡¯t be washed.¡± Grandpa thought for a moment, stuffed the basket and said in his hand, ¡°I¡¯m going to get you one¡± and went into the house. He Lianqing still didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the phrase ¡°take a piece¡±. Grandpa came out of the house, took a green cotton quilt in his hand, and handed it to He Lianqing, saying: ¡°Wear this, dirty. ¡°¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± The jacket is worn by my grandfather when he is at home. In order to wear more clothes inside, the size is quiterge. Although He Lianqing wears it a little shorter, the size is still fit. But this green flower makes him in love. Grandpa still wants to find him a pair of liberation shoes, he was firmly rejected. On the way to the vegetable garden, I met several neighbors. I was curious about the face of He Lianqing, and asked a grandfather to ask a few words. Grandpa said happily that he was a friend of Han Yu and came to y at home. He Lianqing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, standing on the side of the vegetable basket with a nk expression, and sucking the salted fish lying on the bed several times. Grandpa usually has nothing to do at home, except for ying chess is a variety of dishes and looking for children to y, a small piece of vegetable garden at home is very well managed by him. He Lianqing stepped on the soft soil and pulled the trousers and asked: ¡°What to pick?¡± Grandpa pointed the radish and cabbage and took him to the past. He Lianqing bent down and grabbed the roots of the radish seedlings, pulling out a small half of the tail. He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t do this!¡± Grandpa looked at him and shook his head. He walked over and taught him: ¡°Open a little bit of soil around the radish, shake it a few times and pull it out.¡± The sunny geek, who was said to be unable to do it by his grandfather, stared at the radish in his hand and had the urge to nt it back. ¡°Come on, try again.¡± Grandpa put a good radish in the basket. He Lianqing did as he did, and sessfully pulled out severalplete radishes. Then he found that he had fallen to the point where he had a sense of aplishment. On the way back from the meal, Grandpa and He Lianqing talked about Han Xiao¡¯s childhood. Han Yu was very sensible since he was a child. He didn¡¯t care about him at all. When he was very young, he helped him with his housework. When he was in elementary school, he never told him because he had no parents who were excluded from his ssmates. The children in the fight have been fighting in conflict, and he still does not know that Han Han was wronged at school. ¡°Oh, I was too careless at the time, I didn¡¯t notice that Xiao Yan was ufortable.¡± Grandpa sighed and said that these things are very self-me. ¡°No,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°You have done a good job. Han Hao can meet you and he is lucky.¡± ¡°I am not the old man.¡± Grandpaughed. He lost his children in middle age, because Han Han¡¯ster life was not so lonely. He Lianqing suddenly stopped, and Grandpa looked back at him: ¡°What?¡± He Lianqing looked solemnly at Grandpa and said sincerely: ¡°Thank you for your education so well, you have worked hard.¡± Grandpa stunned and watched the tall man bend over his eyes, his eyes moist, and said: ¡°Don¡¯t say that, he is my grandson, I should do whatever I do.¡± He said he went over and took it. Taking the arm of He Lianqing, I said with relief: ¡°I will take care of you in the future, ah?¡± He Lianqing firmly nodded: ¡°You can rest assured that you and he are taken care of by me.¡± Grandpa patted his hand and suddenly paused to understand why Han Han liked him. The two returned home with the dishes, Han Han has also got up, and is washing rice in the yard to prepare rice. After seeing He Lianqing, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a basket of vegetables, he mmed it. He almost did not pour the rice in the pot with the water. When he reacted, he held his stomach and squatted on the floor andughed straight. He Lianqing put the dish aside, went to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down from him from top to bottom, and asked coldly: ¡°Is it funny?¡± If you usually hear He Lianqing, Han Han must see the wind and make the rudder p, but Han Hao can¡¯t help but see the big cotton quilt on his body. He smiles and trembles with a smile: No¡­ not very funny, it¡¯s so funny, hahahahahahaha!!¡± He Lianqing looked at him with a nk expression, let himugh enough, and the storm was brewing in the eyes. Afterughing for half a minute, Han Yu only slowed down a bit, licking He Lianqing¡¯s trouser legs and said intermittently: ¡°Gig, your image is simply going online before going home, after going home, haha¡­ No, I want to shoot you. Go back and look back to Su Shi.¡± Speaking of getting up to get the phone, just two steps away, He Lianqing hugged from behind. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him in his arms. He bowed his head and said coldly in his ear: ¡°Photographed? I haven¡¯t seen it for a few days, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger?¡± ¡°No, no, no, hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yu smiled and swallowed his stomach. ¡°You let me go, hey, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it.¡± He Lianqing listened to him saying that his stomach hurts, loosened his hand and helped him to lick his stomach. The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. Han Yang, unable to stop himself, turned his face to the side before releasing a bout ofughter. Helian Qing¡¯s face stiffened, not a word leaving him, as he dealt with his secret, internal embarrassment. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten, have you? Don¡¯t worry, there are a lot of dishes from today, so I¡¯ll go heat up some of them for you, alright,¡± Grandpa informed the younger man as he stood, with Helian Qing following suit while trying to exin, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, you¨C¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go. So Grandpa, you can just rx and go watch some TV, and I¡¯ll get him something to eat, okay?¡± Han Yang said to the elderly man, then to Helian Qing, added, ¡°You cane help me.¡± ¡°Alright then, go ahead, go on,¡± Grandpa waved them off, sitting himself back down before he began watching the television. Han Yang led Helian Qing to the kitchen, and as they left, Helian Qing could feel the gaze of the elder gentleman following him, which made him involuntarily straighten his back. When they made it to the kitchen, Helian Qing pulled Han Yang into his embrace, lowered his head and kissed him passionately. Following those past few days of separation, Han Yang also missed him very much, thus his hands now gripped the other man¡¯s back¡ªdrawing him even closer into his arms in response. Although the two hated to part from one another, now was not the proper time since Grandpa was just beyond the door, inside the living room, therefore they could only take a little¡ªjust enough to quench each other¡¯s thirst¡ªthen stop. Han Yang dragged his fingers over Helian Qing¡¯s tired brows, his heart struck with a bit of sorrow. Helian Qing grabbed thed¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Take care of my stomach first, then you can treat me dearly.¡± Han Yang immediately recalled the noise that man¡¯s gut made earlier, chuckling, before making him sit down and serving him his meal. Thed proceeded to reheat a couple dishes for Helian Qing, then proceeded to make him a simple egg-drop soup[1], cing all the meals on the dining room table for him to eat after he was finished making them. When he was done eating, Helian Qing naturally stayed over at Han Yang¡¯s ce. Grandpa kept the twopany, chatting for a while, before heading off to bed early to get some sleep, leaving them in the living room to warm up by the fire. Han Yang leaned on Helian Qing¡¯s shoulder, resting his fingers on the man¡¯s palm, slowly tracing creased lines there¡ªfollowing them all the way to their edges while he asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you wereing? Did you finish all your work?¡± ¡°I finished it.¡± Helian Qing closed his hand, capturing the other¡¯s fingers within his grasp, asking softly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you happy to see me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy.¡± Han Yang lifted his head to look at him, a joy-filled expression gleaming within his eyes, ¡°I¡¯m so happy, I don¡¯t know what to do with myself.¡± ¡°You¡¯re happy to such an extent, yet you¡¯re so low-key?¡± Helian Qing smirked, grumbling a meaningful ¡°hm?¡± . Understanding his meaning, Han Yang moved closer, kissing him¡ªnipping him, then whispered, ¡°Are you happy now?¡± Helian Qing nodded reluctantly, moving his hand to pinch the back of thed¡¯s neck. When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door. When He Lianqing did not see his gaze, he said to his grandfather: ¡°I will take the liberty and ask the father to forgive me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, you areing.¡± Grandpa said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Eat.¡± He Lianqing said, just after he finished his stomach, he rang. grandfather:¡±¡­¡­¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Han Hao did not hold back, and smiled to the side, and He Lianqing stretched his face and did not speak, secretly swearing. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet?

He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV.

He Lianqing understood what he meant, his palms slid down, stopped at his waist and gently kneaded and said, ¡°Not a cat, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han nced at him and turned to lie down and asked him. ¡°Are youing over with the vegetarians? Are you not too good for the New Year?¡± ¡°You are not happy?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Happy is happy¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing snorted and looked at him. ¡°I am not good at my wife¡¯s family?¡± What is the maiden¡­is really shameful. Han Xin thought of it, but could not suppress the sweetness of the heart. He took He Lianqing¡¯s waist and rubbed his ear and said, ¡°Get up and sleep, you are tired after a day.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing responded and pulled the quilt against his chin. He is really tired, working overtime for several days, is to make time toe to Han Han. When he finished this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, and got off the ne to change the car all the way. The whole person was very tired. * Probably because of the change of ce, He Lianqing didn¡¯t sleep well, and woke up the next day without dawn. He mmed his bed down and helped Han Han¡¯s quilt to put on his clothes and left the room. When he just went out, he saw his grandfathering out of the kitchen with a fire pot. He quickly tried to help. The elderly feel less, so they get up early, and Grandpa gets up early to burn the carbon fire. He avoided the hand of He Lianqing and put the brazier to the ce where the living room was usually grilled. He said, ¡°I wille by myself. Don¡¯t let the gray stain your hands.¡± ¡°Is there anything I need to do?¡± He Lianqing stood by and asked, always feeling what to do in order to be practical. ¡°You don¡¯t have to, you sit and roast the fire, I will pick up some foodter.¡± Grandpa said to wash his hands and went to the kitchen to take the basket to go out, and He Lianqing followed. Grandpa saw him going, stopped and looked at the woolen sweater on his body that looked very expensive. He said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go back and wear a coat. Don¡¯t wear thest night. It¡¯s easy to get in the ground. dirty.¡± He Lianqing only wore a coat and said, ¡°Nothing, go back and wash.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be done, your clothes are dirty and can¡¯t be washed.¡± Grandpa thought for a moment, stuffed the basket and said in his hand, ¡°I¡¯m going to get you one¡± and went into the house. He Lianqing still didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the phrase ¡°take a piece¡±. Grandpa came out of the house, took a green cotton quilt in his hand, and handed it to He Lianqing, saying: ¡°Wear this, dirty. ¡°¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± The jacket is worn by my grandfather when he is at home. In order to wear more clothes inside, the size is quiterge. Although He Lianqing wears it a little shorter, the size is still fit. But this green flower makes him in love. Grandpa still wants to find him a pair of liberation shoes, he was firmly rejected. On the way to the vegetable garden, I met several neighbors. I was curious about the face of He Lianqing, and asked a grandfather to ask a few words. Grandpa said happily that he was a friend of Han Yu and came to y at home. He Lianqing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, standing on the side of the vegetable basket with a nk expression, and sucking the salted fish lying on the bed several times. Grandpa usually has nothing to do at home, except for ying chess is a variety of dishes and looking for children to y, a small piece of vegetable garden at home is very well managed by him. He Lianqing stepped on the soft soil and pulled the trousers and asked: ¡°What to pick?¡± Grandpa pointed the radish and cabbage and took him to the past. He Lianqing bent down and grabbed the roots of the radish seedlings, pulling out a small half of the tail. He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t do this!¡± Grandpa looked at him and shook his head. He walked over and taught him: ¡°Open a little bit of soil around the radish, shake it a few times and pull it out.¡± The sunny geek, who was said to be unable to do it by his grandfather, stared at the radish in his hand and had the urge to nt it back. ¡°Come on, try again.¡± Grandpa put a good radish in the basket. He Lianqing did as he did, and sessfully pulled out severalplete radishes. Then he found that he had fallen to the point where he had a sense of aplishment. On the way back from the meal, Grandpa and He Lianqing talked about Han Xiao¡¯s childhood. Han Yu was very sensible since he was a child. He didn¡¯t care about him at all. When he was very young, he helped him with his housework. When he was in elementary school, he never told him because he had no parents who were excluded from his ssmates. The children in the fight have been fighting in conflict, and he still does not know that Han Han was wronged at school. ¡°Oh, I was too careless at the time, I didn¡¯t notice that Xiao Yan was ufortable.¡± Grandpa sighed and said that these things are very self-me. ¡°No,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°You have done a good job. Han Hao can meet you and he is lucky.¡± ¡°I am not the old man.¡± Grandpaughed. He lost his children in middle age, because Han Han¡¯ster life was not so lonely. He Lianqing suddenly stopped, and Grandpa looked back at him: ¡°What?¡± He Lianqing looked solemnly at Grandpa and said sincerely: ¡°Thank you for your education so well, you have worked hard.¡± Grandpa stunned and watched the tall man bend over his eyes, his eyes moist, and said: ¡°Don¡¯t say that, he is my grandson, I should do whatever I do.¡± He said he went over and took it. Taking the arm of He Lianqing, I said with relief: ¡°I will take care of you in the future, ah?¡± He Lianqing firmly nodded: ¡°You can rest assured that you and he are taken care of by me.¡± Grandpa patted his hand and suddenly paused to understand why Han Han liked him. The two returned home with the dishes, Han Han has also got up, and is washing rice in the yard to prepare rice. After seeing He Lianqing, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a basket of vegetables, he mmed it. He almost did not pour the rice in the pot with the water. When he reacted, he held his stomach and squatted on the floor andughed straight. He Lianqing put the dish aside, went to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down from him from top to bottom, and asked coldly: ¡°Is it funny?¡± If you usually hear He Lianqing, Han Han must see the wind and make the rudder p, but Han Hao can¡¯t help but see the big cotton quilt on his body. He smiles and trembles with a smile: No¡­ not very funny, it¡¯s so funny, hahahahahahaha!!¡± He Lianqing looked at him with a nk expression, let himugh enough, and the storm was brewing in the eyes. Afterughing for half a minute, Han Yu only slowed down a bit, licking He Lianqing¡¯s trouser legs and said intermittently: ¡°Gig, your image is simply going online before going home, after going home, haha¡­ No, I want to shoot you. Go back and look back to Su Shi.¡± Speaking of getting up to get the phone, just two steps away, He Lianqing hugged from behind. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him in his arms. He bowed his head and said coldly in his ear: ¡°Photographed? I haven¡¯t seen it for a few days, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger?¡± ¡°No, no, no, hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yu smiled and swallowed his stomach. ¡°You let me go, hey, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it.¡± He Lianqing listened to him saying that his stomach hurts, loosened his hand and helped him to lick his stomach. The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. Despite Helian Qing¡¯s hurried departure, he had still managed to bring along a couple changes of clothes he prepped in advance. With his intent to spend the night there clear, Han Yang took him to the bath, then they both returned to his room. As the saying goes: absence makes the heart grow fonder[2], so once the two were lying in bed, kisses and touches were inevitable. Unfortunately, due to the hindrance posed by Grandpa being in the neighbouring room, they never aplished that final step. Resting on Helian Qing¡¯s chest, Han Yang caught his breath, his ears tuned in to the rythmic pulsations within the chest of the one below him, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction well within him. His only rtive, and the one he loves were both near to him¡ªthis was probably the happiest thing ever! ¡°Helian Qing,¡± Han Yang called out to the other. ¡°Mn.¡± Helian Qing, hand separated by theyer of cloth of the younger man¡¯s pajama, stroked his back. ¡°I told my grandfather about us,¡± Han Yang revealed. Helian Qing¡¯s hand stopped, he was a bit shocked, ¡°When did you do it?¡± ¡°The day I came back here.¡± Han Yang then exined the situation regarding his parents. Helian Qing¡¯s expression was cold, ¡°I understand.¡± Han Yang heard the displeasure in his tone, so he raised his hand to stroke the man¡¯s chin, coaxing, ¡°It¡¯s already alright. You don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Helian Qing grabbed his hand, saying irritatedly, ¡°Are you stroking a cat?¡± ¡°No¨Cof course not!¡± Han Yang shook his head. ¡°If you were a cat I¡¯d be screwed!¡± Cats eat fish; dogs eat meat. Helian Qing understood what he meant. Sliding his palm downwards, stopping just as he arrived at the other man¡¯s waist¡ªkneading, saying, ¡°I¡¯m no cat, but you¡¯re not much better off, are you?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han Yang red at him, then rolled off to lie beside him before asking, ¡°Have you told Aunty Su and the others that you came here? Wouldn¡¯t it be bad for you to not celebrate the New Year with them?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not happy?¡± Helian Qing asked. ¡°I¡¯m happy¡ªI am happy¡­¡± ¡°So why are you being so troublesome?¡± Helian Qing scoffed, leaning his head sideways to look him, ¡°I came to the house of my wife¡¯s family, what¡¯s so bad about that?¡± What wife¡¯s family¡¯s home¡­you really are shameless, huh! Han Yang thought to himself, however, he was unable to stifle that sweet feeling in his heart. He pulled Helian Qing into his own arms by the waist, caressing his ear, as he said, ¡°Hurry up and sleep, you¡¯ve worked hard today.¡± ¡°Mhm,¡± Helian Qing replied, pulling the nket up to thed¡¯s chin and tucking it tightly. He really was very tired; working overtime non-stop for thest few days, just to be able to make the time to go find Han Yang. Earlier that afternoon, after his meeting had concluded, he immediately went to the airport; got off the ne; then switched to a car for the entire journey there¡ªso every inch of his body was indeed very much exhausted. * Perhaps it was due to the change of location from the norm, but Helian Qing did not sleep very well. So the next morning, while the sky was still dark, he woke up. Getting off the bed quietly, he tucked the nket around Han Yang properly, put on a change of clothes, then left the room. Catching sight of Grandpa, who was carrying a fire bowl out of the kitchen, just as he stepped out, prompting him to hurry over to give the elder a hand. The old man did not sleep for long, due to his age, so since he got up early, he ced the coal to burn in the fire bowl. Avoiding Helian Qing¡¯s hand, he carried the coal-filled pail into the living room and ced it where it normally burned, saying, ¡°I can do this on my own just fine, you mustn¡¯t let the ash mess up your hands.¡± ¡°Is there anything you need me to do?¡± Helian asked as he stood beside him, feeling he must do something to help just to put his mind at ease. ¡°No, that¡¯s not necessary. You should just sit down by the fire and warm up, alright. I¡¯m going to go pick some veggies from out back,¡± Grandpa replied before going to wash his hands, then went to the kitchen to grab a vegetable basket as he prepared to leave, with Helian Qing following after him. Seeing him wishing to go with him, Grandpa stopped and gave thed a once-over, noticing the youngster was wearing a very expensive woolen sweater, then said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside, so you have to go back and put on a coat, okay, but don¡¯t wear the one you worest night because it¡¯s easy to get it dirty out there.¡± Having only brought the coat he wore when he came, Helian Qing therefore said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯ll be cleaned when I go back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s no good. If your clothes get dirty it may not be possible to wash them properly.¡± Grandpa thought for a while, then ced the vegetable basket into the other man¡¯s hands, said the line ¡°I¡¯ll get you one¡± before heading back into the house. Helian Qing was still at a loss as to what the line ¡°Get one¡± meant when Grandpa returned from inside with a green, floral patterned cotton-padded jacket in hand, handing it over to Helian Qing to then say, ¡°Wear this, it¡¯s dirt resistant.¡± Helian Qing: ¡°¡­¡± That jacket was the one worn in the house by Grandpa when he wanted to stay warm by the fire, and because he wore other clothes beneath it, it¡¯s size was ratherrge. Helian Qing wore the coat, even though it was a little short, the size was a decent fit nheless, but sadly, this floral printed green outfit made him lose heart. Grandpa also wanted to go find him a pair of boots, but he fervently refused. When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door. When He Lianqing did not see his gaze, he said to his grandfather: ¡°I will take the liberty and ask the father to forgive me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, you areing.¡± Grandpa said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Eat.¡± He Lianqing said, just after he finished his stomach, he rang. grandfather:¡±¡­¡­¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Han Hao did not hold back, and smiled to the side, and He Lianqing stretched his face and did not speak, secretly swearing. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet? There are still many dishes today. I will give you a hot meal.¡± Grandpa said, he stood up. He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV. Han Wei took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that Grandpa¡¯s eyes had followed him, and he could not help but straighten his back. When he arrived at the kitchen, He Lianqing immediately pulled Han Han into his arms and bowed his head. These days, Han Han also missed him very much and responded with his hand on his back. Although both of them are reluctant to separate, but now the time is wrong, Grandpa is still outside the living room, can only stop trying to stop the thirst. Han Hao touched He Lianqing with a tired eyebrow, some distressed. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said, ¡°I will feel bad after taking care of my stomach first.¡± Han Yu remembered the sound of his stomach just now, smiled, let him sit aside and help him hot dishes. Han Wei gave He Lianqing two hot dishes, and gave him a simple egg soup, and then brought the dish to the dinner table in the living room for him to eat. After eating, He Lianqing naturally stayed at Han Han¡¯s house. Grandpa slept early, talked with them for a while and went to sleep, leaving two people to roast in the living room. Han Hao leaned on the shoulders of He Lianqing, his fingers pressed against his palms, slowly drawing along the lines of his palm, and he said, ¡°Howe you didn¡¯t tell me? Work is busy.¡± ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s busy.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his palm and held his finger in his palm. He whispered, ¡°Is not happy to see me?¡± ¡°Happy.¡± Han Han looked up at him, his eyes were smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to be happy.¡± ¡°Happiness is so low-key?¡± He Lianqing turned his cheeks and said something. Han Hao took a close look and kissed him, whispered: ¡°Happy?¡± He Lianqing nodded boldly and stretched his hand to pinch his back neck. Although He Lianqing was in a hurry, he also prepared two sets of changing clothes in advance, which was obviously going to be overnight. Han Han took him to the bath and they returned to the room. As the saying goes, the little wins the newlyweds, and they can¡¯t help but feel touched when they lie down, but they are not doing thest thing because Grandpa is next door. Han Wei gasped in the chest of He Lianqing, and his ears listened to the heartbeat from his chest, and felt that his heart was very satisfied. Your loved ones and loved ones are around, which is probably the happiest thing. ¡°He Lianqing.¡± Han Han called him. ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing touched his back through his pajamas. ¡°I told our grandfather about our business.¡± Han Yu said. He Lianqing¡¯s hand paused, and some idents: ¡°When?¡± ¡°I came back that day.¡± Han Yu said things about her parents. He Lianqing listened to his face slightly cold, ¡°I know.¡± Han Hao heard the dissatisfaction in his voice, raised his hand and touched his chin and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t care.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said with dissatisfaction: ¡°Are you scratching the cat?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Han Han shook his head. ¡°If you are a cat, I will be miserable.¡± Cats eat fish and dogs eat meat. He Lianqing understood what he meant, his palms slid down, stopped at his waist and gently kneaded and said, ¡°Not a cat, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han nced at him and turned to lie down and asked him. ¡°Are youing over with the vegetarians? Are you not too good for the New Year?¡± ¡°You are not happy?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Happy is happy¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing snorted and looked at him. ¡°I am not good at my wife¡¯s family?¡± What is the maiden¡­is really shameful. Han Xin thought of it, but could not suppress the sweetness of the heart. He took He Lianqing¡¯s waist and rubbed his ear and said, ¡°Get up and sleep, you are tired after a day.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing responded and pulled the quilt against his chin. He is really tired, working overtime for several days, is to make time toe to Han Han. When he finished this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, and got off the ne to change the car all the way.

The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. On their way to the vegetable garden they ran into a few neighbours, curious about this new guy¡ªHelian Qing, they pulled Grandpa aside to chat and ask a few things, and Grandpa happily told them he was Han Yang¡¯s friend who came to home to keep himpany. Wearing that floral patterned, padded coat; vegetable basket in hand; and with no expression on his face, Helian Qing stood at the side. In his heart, he repeatedly thrashed that still-sleeping-in-bed Salted Fish a good few times. Since he normally had nothing much to do at home, Grandpa, apart from ying chess and gardening, also yed with the little ones nearby. With the extra time, his family¡¯s garden was very well taken care of by him. Helian Qing stepped onto the softened earth, rolled up his pant legs, then asked, ¡°What do you want to pick?¡± Grandpa pointed to the radishes and the pak-choi; leading him to them. Helian Qing stooped down, took hold of the radish sprout right above its root then yanked it out with force, enough to cause the tail to snap in half. Helian Qing: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Young fe, doing like that won¡¯t work, ah!¡± Grandpa looked on from the sidelines shaking his head, then made his way over to show him how. ¡°First you spread the dirt around the radish open, then wiggle it a few times before you pull it out.¡± Grandpa saying it was no good made the Qing G¨¦ge stare at the damaged radish in his hands, wanting very much to nt it back into the ground. ¡°Come on now, give it another try.¡± Grandpa ced the whole radish into the basket. Helian Qing did just as he was shown, and sessfully pulled out several radishes. Onlyter had he noticed that he had fallen to such a point, where pulling out a few of those things gave him a sense of aplishment. On their way back from the garden, Grandpa talked about Han Yang¡¯s childhood years with Helian Qing. Han Yang as a child was very thoughtful and clever, there was no need to worry about him in the least. When he was still very little, he would simply help in doing the household chores together. Then when he attended primary school, because he did not have a father or a mother, his ssmates pushed him aside along with refusing to talk to him. If it wasn¡¯t for that time the other children in his ss fought with him, he might have still been unaware of how much Han Yang had been suffering at school. ¡°Ai, I was too careless back then to not have noticed all the pain Han Yang felt in his heart,¡± Grandpa sighed. Recounting those events left him ridden with guilt. ¡°No,¡± Helian Qing countered. ¡°You¡¯ve done a very good job, and Han Yang was very fortunate to have met you.¡± ¡°For this old man, it was also the same,¡± Grandpaughed. Having lost his children during his middle-ages, Han Yang¡¯s presence during thistter half of his life meant it was not as lonely or pitiful. Helian Qing stopped suddenly, his action prompting the older man to to turn and look at him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wearing a grave look, Helian Qing bowed respectfully towards Grandpa, saying with utmost sincerity: ¡°Thank you for teaching Han Yang so well; you have worked very hard.¡± Grandpa froze momentarily. At the sight of such a tall man lowering himself before him, his eyes grew moist, as he then repeatedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t say that, he¡¯s my grandson, I only did what I should have.¡± Going over to pat Helian Qing on his arm as he spoke, feeling grateful and relieved as he added, ¡°From now on, Han Yang will be depending on you the most to take care of him, alright?¡± Helian Qing nodded resolutely, ¡°You can be rest assured, both you and he will be in my care.¡± The hand he used to pat the eager fellow paused for a while as he suddenly understood the reason Han Yang would like this man from the start. When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door. When He Lianqing did not see his gaze, he said to his grandfather: ¡°I will take the liberty and ask the father to forgive me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, you areing.¡± Grandpa said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Eat.¡± He Lianqing said, just after he finished his stomach, he rang. grandfather:¡±¡­¡­¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Han Hao did not hold back, and smiled to the side, and He Lianqing stretched his face and did not speak, secretly swearing. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet? There are still many dishes today. I will give you a hot meal.¡± Grandpa said, he stood up. He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV. Han Wei took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that Grandpa¡¯s eyes had followed him, and he could not help but straighten his back. When he arrived at the kitchen, He Lianqing immediately pulled Han Han into his arms and bowed his head. These days, Han Han also missed him very much and responded with his hand on his back. Although both of them are reluctant to separate, but now the time is wrong, Grandpa is still outside the living room, can only stop trying to stop the thirst. Han Hao touched He Lianqing with a tired eyebrow, some distressed. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said, ¡°I will feel bad after taking care of my stomach first.¡± Han Yu remembered the sound of his stomach just now, smiled, let him sit aside and help him hot dishes. Han Wei gave He Lianqing two hot dishes, and gave him a simple egg soup, and then brought the dish to the dinner table in the living room for him to eat. After eating, He Lianqing naturally stayed at Han Han¡¯s house. Grandpa slept early, talked with them for a while and went to sleep, leaving two people to roast in the living room. Han Hao leaned on the shoulders of He Lianqing, his fingers pressed against his palms, slowly drawing along the lines of his palm, and he said, ¡°Howe you didn¡¯t tell me? Work is busy.¡± ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s busy.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his palm and held his finger in his palm. He whispered, ¡°Is not happy to see me?¡± ¡°Happy.¡± Han Han looked up at him, his eyes were smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to be happy.¡± ¡°Happiness is so low-key?¡± He Lianqing turned his cheeks and said something. Han Hao took a close look and kissed him, whispered: ¡°Happy?¡± He Lianqing nodded boldly and stretched his hand to pinch his back neck. Although He Lianqing was in a hurry, he also prepared two sets of changing clothes in advance, which was obviously going to be overnight. Han Han took him to the bath and they returned to the room. As the saying goes, the little wins the newlyweds, and they can¡¯t help but feel touched when they lie down, but they are not doing thest thing because Grandpa is next door. Han Wei gasped in the chest of He Lianqing, and his ears listened to the heartbeat from his chest, and felt that his heart was very satisfied. Your loved ones and loved ones are around, which is probably the happiest thing. ¡°He Lianqing.¡± Han Han called him. ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing touched his back through his pajamas. ¡°I told our grandfather about our business.¡± Han Yu said. He Lianqing¡¯s hand paused, and some idents: ¡°When?¡± ¡°I came back that day.¡± Han Yu said things about her parents. He Lianqing listened to his face slightly cold, ¡°I know.¡± Han Hao heard the dissatisfaction in his voice, raised his hand and touched his chin and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t care.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said with dissatisfaction: ¡°Are you scratching the cat?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Han Han shook his head. ¡°If you are a cat, I will be miserable.¡± Cats eat fish and dogs eat meat. He Lianqing understood what he meant, his palms slid down, stopped at his waist and gently kneaded and said, ¡°Not a cat, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han nced at him and turned to lie down and asked him. ¡°Are youing over with the vegetarians? Are you not too good for the New Year?¡± ¡°You are not happy?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Happy is happy¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing snorted and looked at him. ¡°I am not good at my wife¡¯s family?¡± What is the maiden¡­is really shameful. Han Xin thought of it, but could not suppress the sweetness of the heart. He took He Lianqing¡¯s waist and rubbed his ear and said, ¡°Get up and sleep, you are tired after a day.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing responded and pulled the quilt against his chin. He is really tired, working overtime for several days, is to make time toe to Han Han. When he finished this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, and got off the ne to change the car all the way. The whole person was very tired. * Probably because of the change of ce, He Lianqing didn¡¯t sleep well, and woke up the next day without dawn. He mmed his bed down and helped Han Han¡¯s quilt to put on his clothes and left the room. When he just went out, he saw his grandfathering out of the kitchen with a fire pot. He quickly tried to help. The elderly feel less, so they get up early, and Grandpa gets up early to burn the carbon fire. He avoided the hand of He Lianqing and put the brazier to the ce where the living room was usually grilled. He said, ¡°I wille by myself. Don¡¯t let the gray stain your hands.¡± ¡°Is there anything I need to do?¡± He Lianqing stood by and asked, always feeling what to do in order to be practical. ¡°You don¡¯t have to, you sit and roast the fire, I will pick up some foodter.¡± Grandpa said to wash his hands and went to the kitchen to take the basket to go out, and He Lianqing followed. Grandpa saw him going, stopped and looked at the woolen sweater on his body that looked very expensive. He said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go back and wear a coat. Don¡¯t wear thest night. It¡¯s easy to get in the ground. dirty.¡± He Lianqing only wore a coat and said, ¡°Nothing, go back and wash.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be done, your clothes are dirty and can¡¯t be washed.¡± Grandpa thought for a moment, stuffed the basket and said in his hand, ¡°I¡¯m going to get you one¡± and went into the house. He Lianqing still didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the phrase ¡°take a piece¡±. Grandpa came out of the house, took a green cotton quilt in his hand, and handed it to He Lianqing, saying: ¡°Wear this, dirty. ¡°¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± The jacket is worn by my grandfather when he is at home. In order to wear more clothes inside, the size is quiterge. Although He Lianqing wears it a little shorter, the size is still fit. But this green flower makes him in love. Grandpa still wants to find him a pair of liberation shoes, he was firmly rejected. On the way to the vegetable garden, I met several neighbors. I was curious about the face of He Lianqing, and asked a grandfather to ask a few words. Grandpa said happily that he was a friend of Han Yu and came to y at home. He Lianqing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, standing on the side of the vegetable basket with a nk expression, and sucking the salted fish lying on the bed several times. Grandpa usually has nothing to do at home, except for ying chess is a variety of dishes and looking for children to y, a small piece of vegetable garden at home is very well managed by him. He Lianqing stepped on the soft soil and pulled the trousers and asked: ¡°What to pick?¡± Grandpa pointed the radish and cabbage and took him to the past. He Lianqing bent down and grabbed the roots of the radish seedlings, pulling out a small half of the tail. He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t do this!¡± Grandpa looked at him and shook his head. He walked over and taught him: ¡°Open a little bit of soil around the radish, shake it a few times and pull it out.¡± The sunny geek, who was said to be unable to do it by his grandfather, stared at the radish in his hand and had the urge to nt it back. ¡°Come on, try again.¡± Grandpa put a good radish in the basket. He Lianqing did as he did, and sessfully pulled out severalplete radishes. Then he found that he had fallen to the point where he had a sense of aplishment. On the way back from the meal, Grandpa and He Lianqing talked about Han Xiao¡¯s childhood. Han Yu was very sensible since he was a child. He didn¡¯t care about him at all. When he was very young, he helped him with his housework. When he was in elementary school, he never told him because he had no parents who were excluded from his ssmates. The children in the fight have been fighting in conflict, and he still does not know that Han Han was wronged at school. ¡°Oh, I was too careless at the time, I didn¡¯t notice that Xiao Yan was ufortable.¡± Grandpa sighed and said that these things are very self-me. ¡°No,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°You have done a good job. Han Hao can meet you and he is lucky.¡± ¡°I am not the old man.¡± Grandpaughed. He lost his children in middle age, because Han Han¡¯ster life was not so lonely. He Lianqing suddenly stopped, and Grandpa looked back at him: ¡°What?¡± He Lianqing looked solemnly at Grandpa and said sincerely: ¡°Thank you for your education so well, you have worked hard.¡± Grandpa stunned and watched the tall man bend over his eyes, his eyes moist, and said: ¡°Don¡¯t say that, he is my grandson, I should do whatever I do.¡± He said he went over and took it. Taking the arm of He Lianqing, I said with relief: ¡°I will take care of you in the future, ah?¡± He Lianqing firmly nodded: ¡°You can rest assured that you and he are taken care of by me.¡± Grandpa patted his hand and suddenly paused to understand why Han Han liked him. The two returned home with the dishes, Han Han has also got up, and is washing rice in the yard to prepare rice. After seeing He Lianqing, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a basket of vegetables, he mmed it. He almost did not pour the rice in the pot with the water. When he reacted, he held his stomach and squatted on the floor andughed straight. He Lianqing put the dish aside, went to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down from him from top to bottom, and asked coldly: ¡°Is it funny?¡± If you usually hear He Lianqing, Han Han must see the wind and make the rudder p, but Han Hao can¡¯t help but see the big cotton quilt on his body. He smiles and trembles with a smile: No¡­ not very funny, it¡¯s so funny, hahahahahahaha!!¡± He Lianqing looked at him with a nk expression, let himugh enough, and the storm was brewing in the eyes. Afterughing for half a minute, Han Yu only slowed down a bit, licking He Lianqing¡¯s trouser legs and said intermittently: ¡°Gig, your image is simply going online before going home, after going home, haha¡­ No, I want to shoot you. Go back and look back to Su Shi.¡± Speaking of getting up to get the phone, just two steps away, He Lianqing hugged from behind. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him in his arms. He bowed his head and said coldly in his ear: ¡°Photographed? I haven¡¯t seen it for a few days, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger?¡± ¡°No, no, no, hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yu smiled and swallowed his stomach. ¡°You let me go, hey, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it.¡± He Lianqing listened to him saying that his stomach hurts, loosened his hand and helped him to lick his stomach. The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. By the time the two took the vegetables back home, Han Yang had already gotten up and was currently washing rice in the yard, preparing to cook. When he saw the flower-patterned cotton-padded coat wearing, vegetable basket carrying, Helian Qing go into the house¡ªhe froze; his shaking hand almost being unable to hold the pot containing the rice and water as he went inside. Later, his reaction came: immediately grabbing his belly, and crouching to the floor inughter, to the point where he was unable to straighten his back. Helian Qing put the veggies aside, walked over to the tap to wash his hands, then looked down at thed from his top to his bottom, asking monotonously, ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡± If it were normal times, upon hearing Helian Qing say those words, Han Yang would have definitely gone with the flow[3] and piled on the ttery; but at this moment, after seeing the man in that huge floral coat, he just couldn¡¯t. Holding his tummy as he trembled withughter, ¡°No¡ªno, it¡¯s it¡¯s not ¡®so funny¡¯ , it¡¯s extremely ridiculous! Hahahahaha!!¡± Helian Qing looked at him without a trace of emotion, letting the younger fellowugh it up, while a storm brew within his own eyes. Afterughing for an entire half of a minute, Han Yang slowed down a little, proceeding to grasp Helian Qing¡¯s pant legs as he stammered, ¡°G¨¦ge, this look of yours is just like the ¡®before returning home; after returning home¡¯ meme that went viral¡ªhaha¡­ No, this won¡¯t do, I have to take a picture of this to show Aunty Su.¡± Saying that, he got up to go get his phone, but after only two steps, he was held by Helian Qing from behind. The man grabbed his hands, pressing him into his bosom before lowering his head so his lips met the giddy man¡¯s ear, his tone cold, ¡°¡®Take a picture¡¯? Just a few days of not seeing each other, and your courage has gotten that muchrger, huh?¡± ¡°No-no, it hasn¡¯t. Hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yang giggled while holding his belly, ¡°Hurry and let me go, Ow-ow-ow, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Serves you right.¡± Once he heard him say his stomach hurt, Helian Qing let go of his hands and helped him massage his tummy, not knowing that rubbing that same tummy would result in himughing even more. ¡°You, quit helping me¡ªwhat are you rubbing! Laughing this much hurts!¡± Han Yang knocked the other¡¯s hand off then steadied himself on a countertop to catch his breath. Helian Qing snorted, turned around and entered another room; leaving the retreating figure of arge floral printed cotton-padded jacket behind him as he did. Once he saw that again, Han Yang could not hinder his brimmingughter, doing his best to quickly wash the rice then go into the kitchen to cook. When Helian Qing went into the room, he took a mirror to carefully look at therge country-styled jacket, it¡¯s brightly colored hues almost blinding his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± Helian Qing put the mirror back, to prevent him from taking the coat off immediately, and fail to live up to Grandpa¡¯s kind intentions. Normally, during the vacation period, Han Yang did the cooking with Grandpa giving him a hand when he had nothing to do. Today, Helian Qing was also there, so naturally, the task of lighting the stove fell on him. Just like the radish situation from earlier that morning, Helian Qing came across some difficulty when attempting to light the fire. He took the stove-pipe to blow into the stove¡ªkindling the fire, so when the me was finally lit, he was left with a face smeared in ck. Han Yang saw him, and again broke out in hysterics. He moved to wipe away some of the ash on the man¡¯s face, then lowered his head to see that the fire was finally lit, and gave the man a thumbs up, ¡°You¡¯re awesome!!¡± Helian Qing: ¡°¡­¡± ¡­the hell. Is this Fish looking for an upgrade once he arrived back in his home territory?! After they were all done eating, Grandpa brought up their matter on his own as he looked at them and spoke, ¡°Grandpa is getting on in years, and has no expectations of glory nor fortunes in this life, all I want, is for the two of you to live out your lives safely and peacefully¡ªjust that alone, will be good.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that, Grandpa,¡± Han Yang said, with Helian Qing also nodding alongside him. ¡°I was was thinking it over yesterday, and since the matter between the both of you have already been decided, as well as you two having been certified; then, like any other married couple, you two cannot act like hooligans,¡± Grandpa stated. Han Yang snaked his hand behind Helian Qing, pinching his waist, hinting towards him with his eyes: Did you hear that, don¡¯t act like a hooligan. Helian Qing also swept his eyes towards him, and in return expressed: When we go back, you¡¯ll understand exactly what a hooligan really is. Grandpa did not notice their exchange so he he continued, ¡°We¡¯ll have to find a time for both families to get together for a meal, in testament to our togetherness. As for your wedding, this old man doesn¡¯t understand what you youngsters of today like so just do as you see fit, alright.¡± Han Yang and Helian Qing nodded simultaneously. *¨C* When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door. When He Lianqing did not see his gaze, he said to his grandfather: ¡°I will take the liberty and ask the father to forgive me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, you areing.¡± Grandpa said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Eat.¡± He Lianqing said, just after he finished his stomach, he rang. grandfather:¡±¡­¡­¡± Han Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Han Hao did not hold back, and smiled to the side, and He Lianqing stretched his face and did not speak, secretly swearing. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet? There are still many dishes today. I will give you a hot meal.¡± Grandpa said, he stood up. He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV. Han Wei took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that Grandpa¡¯s eyes had followed him, and he could not help but straighten his back. When he arrived at the kitchen, He Lianqing immediately pulled Han Han into his arms and bowed his head. These days, Han Han also missed him very much and responded with his hand on his back. Although both of them are reluctant to separate, but now the time is wrong, Grandpa is still outside the living room, can only stop trying to stop the thirst. Han Hao touched He Lianqing with a tired eyebrow, some distressed. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said, ¡°I will feel bad after taking care of my stomach first.¡± Han Yu remembered the sound of his stomach just now, smiled, let him sit aside and help him hot dishes. Han Wei gave He Lianqing two hot dishes, and gave him a simple egg soup, and then brought the dish to the dinner table in the living room for him to eat. After eating, He Lianqing naturally stayed at Han Han¡¯s house. Grandpa slept early, talked with them for a while and went to sleep, leaving two people to roast in the living room. Han Hao leaned on the shoulders of He Lianqing, his fingers pressed against his palms, slowly drawing along the lines of his palm, and he said, ¡°Howe you didn¡¯t tell me? Work is busy.¡± ?¡± ¡°It¡¯s busy.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his palm and held his finger in his palm. He whispered, ¡°Is not happy to see me?¡± ¡°Happy.¡± Han Han looked up at him, his eyes were smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to be happy.¡± ¡°Happiness is so low-key?¡± He Lianqing turned his cheeks and said something. Han Hao took a close look and kissed him, whispered: ¡°Happy?¡± He Lianqing nodded boldly and stretched his hand to pinch his back neck. Although He Lianqing was in a hurry, he also prepared two sets of changing clothes in advance, which was obviously going to be overnight. Han Han took him to the bath and they returned to the room. As the saying goes, the little wins the newlyweds, and they can¡¯t help but feel touched when they lie down, but they are not doing thest thing because Grandpa is next door. Han Wei gasped in the chest of He Lianqing, and his ears listened to the heartbeat from his chest, and felt that his heart was very satisfied. Your loved ones and loved ones are around, which is probably the happiest thing. ¡°He Lianqing.¡± Han Han called him. ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing touched his back through his pajamas. ¡°I told our grandfather about our business.¡± Han Yu said. He Lianqing¡¯s hand paused, and some idents: ¡°When?¡± ¡°I came back that day.¡± Han Yu said things about her parents. He Lianqing listened to his face slightly cold, ¡°I know.¡± Han Hao heard the dissatisfaction in his voice, raised his hand and touched his chin and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t care.¡± He Lianqing grabbed his hand and said with dissatisfaction: ¡°Are you scratching the cat?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Han Han shook his head. ¡°If you are a cat, I will be miserable.¡± Cats eat fish and dogs eat meat. He Lianqing understood what he meant, his palms slid down, stopped at his waist and gently kneaded and said, ¡°Not a cat, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han nced at him and turned to lie down and asked him. ¡°Are youing over with the vegetarians? Are you not too good for the New Year?¡± ¡°You are not happy?¡± asked He Lianqing. ¡°Happy is happy¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± He Lianqing snorted and looked at him. ¡°I am not good at my wife¡¯s family?¡± What is the maiden¡­is really shameful. Han Xin thought of it, but could not suppress the sweetness of the heart. He took He Lianqing¡¯s waist and rubbed his ear and said, ¡°Get up and sleep, you are tired after a day.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He Lianqing responded and pulled the quilt against his chin. He is really tired, working overtime for several days, is to make time toe to Han Han. When he finished this afternoon, he immediately went to the airport, and got off the ne to change the car all the way. The whole person was very tired. * Probably because of the change of ce, He Lianqing didn¡¯t sleep well, and woke up the next day without dawn. He mmed his bed down and helped Han Han¡¯s quilt to put on his clothes and left the room. When he just went out, he saw his grandfathering out of the kitchen with a fire pot. He quickly tried to help. The elderly feel less, so they get up early, and Grandpa gets up early to burn the carbon fire. He avoided the hand of He Lianqing and put the brazier to the ce where the living room was usually grilled. He said, ¡°I wille by myself. Don¡¯t let the gray stain your hands.¡± ¡°Is there anything I need to do?¡± He Lianqing stood by and asked, always feeling what to do in order to be practical. ¡°You don¡¯t have to, you sit and roast the fire, I will pick up some foodter.¡± Grandpa said to wash his hands and went to the kitchen to take the basket to go out, and He Lianqing followed. Grandpa saw him going, stopped and looked at the woolen sweater on his body that looked very expensive. He said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go back and wear a coat. Don¡¯t wear thest night. It¡¯s easy to get in the ground. dirty.¡± He Lianqing only wore a coat and said, ¡°Nothing, go back and wash.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be done, your clothes are dirty and can¡¯t be washed.¡± Grandpa thought for a moment, stuffed the basket and said in his hand, ¡°I¡¯m going to get you one¡± and went into the house. He Lianqing still didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the phrase ¡°take a piece¡±. Grandpa came out of the house, took a green cotton quilt in his hand, and handed it to He Lianqing, saying: ¡°Wear this, dirty. ¡°¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± The jacket is worn by my grandfather when he is at home. In order to wear more clothes inside, the size is quiterge. Although He Lianqing wears it a little shorter, the size is still fit. But this green flower makes him in love. Grandpa still wants to find him a pair of liberation shoes, he was firmly rejected. On the way to the vegetable garden, I met several neighbors. I was curious about the face of He Lianqing, and asked a grandfather to ask a few words. Grandpa said happily that he was a friend of Han Yu and came to y at home. He Lianqing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, standing on the side of the vegetable basket with a nk expression, and sucking the salted fish lying on the bed several times. Grandpa usually has nothing to do at home, except for ying chess is a variety of dishes and looking for children to y, a small piece of vegetable garden at home is very well managed by him. He Lianqing stepped on the soft soil and pulled the trousers and asked: ¡°What to pick?¡± Grandpa pointed the radish and cabbage and took him to the past. He Lianqing bent down and grabbed the roots of the radish seedlings, pulling out a small half of the tail. He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Grandpa: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t do this!¡± Grandpa looked at him and shook his head. He walked over and taught him: ¡°Open a little bit of soil around the radish, shake it a few times and pull it out.¡± The sunny geek, who was said to be unable to do it by his grandfather, stared at the radish in his hand and had the urge to nt it back. ¡°Come on, try again.¡± Grandpa put a good radish in the basket. He Lianqing did as he did, and sessfully pulled out severalplete radishes. Then he found that he had fallen to the point where he had a sense of aplishment. On the way back from the meal, Grandpa and He Lianqing talked about Han Xiao¡¯s childhood. Han Yu was very sensible since he was a child. He didn¡¯t care about him at all. When he was very young, he helped him with his housework. When he was in elementary school, he never told him because he had no parents who were excluded from his ssmates. The children in the fight have been fighting in conflict, and he still does not know that Han Han was wronged at school. ¡°Oh, I was too careless at the time, I didn¡¯t notice that Xiao Yan was ufortable.¡± Grandpa sighed and said that these things are very self-me. ¡°No,¡± said He Lianqing. ¡°You have done a good job. Han Hao can meet you and he is lucky.¡± ¡°I am not the old man.¡± Grandpaughed. He lost his children in middle age, because Han Han¡¯ster life was not so lonely. He Lianqing suddenly stopped, and Grandpa looked back at him: ¡°What?¡± He Lianqing looked solemnly at Grandpa and said sincerely: ¡°Thank you for your education so well, you have worked hard.¡± Grandpa stunned and watched the tall man bend over his eyes, his eyes moist, and said: ¡°Don¡¯t say that, he is my grandson, I should do whatever I do.¡± He said he went over and took it. Taking the arm of He Lianqing, I said with relief: ¡°I will take care of you in the future, ah?¡± He Lianqing firmly nodded: ¡°You can rest assured that you and he are taken care of by me.¡± Grandpa patted his hand and suddenly paused to understand why Han Han liked him. The two returned home with the dishes, Han Han has also got up, and is washing rice in the yard to prepare rice. After seeing He Lianqing, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and carrying a basket of vegetables, he mmed it. He almost did not pour the rice in the pot with the water. When he reacted, he held his stomach and squatted on the floor andughed straight. He Lianqing put the dish aside, went to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down from him from top to bottom, and asked coldly: ¡°Is it funny?¡± If you usually hear He Lianqing, Han Han must see the wind and make the rudder p, but Han Hao can¡¯t help but see the big cotton quilt on his body. He smiles and trembles with a smile: No¡­ not very funny, it¡¯s so funny, hahahahahahaha!!¡± He Lianqing looked at him with a nk expression, let himugh enough, and the storm was brewing in the eyes. Afterughing for half a minute, Han Yu only slowed down a bit, licking He Lianqing¡¯s trouser legs and said intermittently: ¡°Gig, your image is simply going online before going home, after going home, haha¡­ No, I want to shoot you. Go back and look back to Su Shi.¡± Speaking of getting up to get the phone, just two steps away, He Lianqing hugged from behind. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him in his arms. He bowed his head and said coldly in his ear: ¡°Photographed? I haven¡¯t seen it for a few days, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger?¡± ¡°No, no, no, hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yu smiled and swallowed his stomach. ¡°You let me go, hey, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it.¡± He Lianqing listened to him saying that his stomach hurts, loosened his hand and helped him to lick his stomach. The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. The following day, Han Yang took Helian Qing into the town to get some goods for the Spring festival. In the Helian family, the nning and purchase of items for the Spring Festival were the responsibilities of Guanjia, the butler, and Auntie Zhou. Therefore, Helian Qing had never done anything like going to shop for New Year supplies. In the small town, there were quite a number of people out shopping in preparation for the Chinese New Year; pushing and squeezing each other, standing on their tiptoes. Helian Qing¡¯s one hundred and ny metre frame was even forced to take a few steps backwards by a few pushing Aunties, allowing him to experience what a market day in the countryside was like. First, Han Yang took him to buy dried fruits and nuts, as well as some snacks. After paying the bill, and carrying two big bags of goods, they went on to purchase red envelopes, couplets[4], firecrackers, and so on. Then, done with shopping, they were both toting two giant bags each. Because of therge number of people at the marketce Helian Qing¡¯s long overcoat got squeezed and so had many creases, currently looking as if any traces of its one expensive nature was non-existent. Seeing this, Han Yang once again teased: ¡°If I¡¯d known beforehand, I would¡¯ve made you wear Grandpa¡¯s giant patterned, padded jacket.¡± Helian Qing¡¯s face darkened as he sneered, ¡°So you¡¯re showing off, huh. Only a few days left.¡± Han Yang: ¡°¡­¡± I forgot I have to go back when school restarts. Han Yang coughed, pretending he had not heard or understood a thing, simply going to find a taxi to return home. The stuff they got for the festival was ready, and the house was swept clean, so all that was left was to wait for New Year¡¯s Eve. The day before the eve of the festival, Han Yang was unable to help from again asking Helian Qing, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not going to head back to celebrate the New Year with the others?¡± ¡°How many times are you going to ask this? Are Saltfish and goldfish half-siblings or something?¡± Helian Qing nced at him and scoffed. This was sarcasm about his poor memory, wasn¡¯t it? Han Yang frowned, saying, ¡°It¡¯s only because I feel this isn¡¯t a good thing. Aunty Su and the others must definitely be wanting for you to return to celebrate the New Year with them, after all, they are your parents.¡± ¡°They¡¯re your parents too.¡± Helian Qing interrupted, caressing his ear, ¡°And besides, they¡¯re already on their way.¡± ¡°What?¡± Han Yang was stunned momentarily. ¡°They¡¯re on their way here.¡± Helian Qing revealed a proud grin, ¡°They¡¯ll arrive this afternoon, so tidy up all prim and proper, and prepare to meet your father and mother byw, got that?¡± Han Yang: ¡°¡­¡± When I saw He Lianqing, Han Hao¡¯s whole brain was nk. It is obvious that people who should be far away from the sky suddenly appear in front of their own eyes, just like dreaming. ¡°But hug me?¡± The phone attached to the ear heard the voice of He Lianqing, low and low, in the winter night with a sultry heat, breaking through the eardrum, reaching his heart. Before Han Han returned to God, the body reacted faster than reason. He strode over and opened the door of the yard and mmed into the arms of He Lianqing. He Lianqing had a cold temper, but Han Wei felt the warmth from the unique temperature of Helianqing. He red at He Lianqing¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest. He took a deep breath and his eyes were hot. He Lianqing covered his back on his back and slowly stroked it twice. At the moment when the youth threw himself into his arms, these days of thoughts seemed to finally find a ce to stay. ¡°Small Ñú.¡± The shouts of grandfather came to the house and awakened the two. Han Han let go of He Lianqing and turned back and took He Lianqing into it. Grandpa just went to the kitchen to get the sweet potato. When he came back, he didn¡¯t see where Han Han thought he was going. I didn¡¯t expect him to bring someone back. He asked, ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, he is Helianqing.¡± Han Yu said, pulling Lah Lianqing¡¯s scarf hem and said to him: ¡°This is my grandfather.¡± ¡°Good man.¡± He Lianqing bowed slightly and bowed reverently. Grandpa listened to this name and just reacted to his grandmother. He was shocked by his respectful attitude and quickly waved his hand: ¡°Hello, hello, don¡¯t worry,e and sit down first.¡± Han Lan took He Lianqing and sat down next to the fire basin, saying: ¡°Quick and warm, your hands are frozen.¡± Han Hao was so distressed that if he was in peacetime, He Lianqing would have to say a few words, but in front of Han Hao¡¯s grandfather, he was not too arrogant, just nodded his head and put it on the side of the brazier to roast the fire. ¡°Howe you suddenly came over?¡± Han Wei asked him, trying to reach out and help him lick his fingers, and the grandfather could only endure. ¡°Let¡¯se over and see.¡± He Lianqing said that the carbon fire dispelled the coldness of his body and made his eyebrows stretch. ¡°¡­¡± Han Yu looked at him silently, this is where to go to pass their door.

He Lianqing quickly followed and said, ¡°No, you¡­¡± ¡°I will go, Grandpa, you will watch TV on your own, I will give him some food.¡± Han Yu said to He Lianqing, ¡°Youe to help me.¡± ¡°Alright, go.¡± Grandpa waved and sat back to watch TV. Han Wei took He Lianqing to the kitchen. Before leaving, He Lianqing felt that Grandpa¡¯s eyes had followed him, and he could not help but straighten his back.

He Lianqing put the dish aside, went to the faucet next to him and washed his hands, then looked down from him from top to bottom, and asked coldly: ¡°Is it funny?¡± If you usually hear He Lianqing, Han Han must see the wind and make the rudder p, but Han Hao can¡¯t help but see the big cotton quilt on his body. He smiles and trembles with a smile: No¡­ not very funny, it¡¯s so funny, hahahahahahaha!!¡± He Lianqing looked at him with a nk expression, let himugh enough, and the storm was brewing in the eyes. Afterughing for half a minute, Han Yu only slowed down a bit, licking He Lianqing¡¯s trouser legs and said intermittently: ¡°Gig, your image is simply going online before going home, after going home, haha¡­ No, I want to shoot you. Go back and look back to Su Shi.¡± Speaking of getting up to get the phone, just two steps away, He Lianqing hugged from behind. He Lianqing grabbed his hand and pressed him in his arms. He bowed his head and said coldly in his ear: ¡°Photographed? I haven¡¯t seen it for a few days, and my courage is getting bigger and bigger?¡± ¡°No, no, no, hahahaha¡­¡± Han Yu smiled and swallowed his stomach. ¡°You let me go, hey, my stomach hurts.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it.¡± He Lianqing listened to him saying that his stomach hurts, loosened his hand and helped him to lick his stomach. The more he expected, the more heughed. ¡°You don¡¯t want to move me, what are you! I amughing!¡± Han Hao patted his hand and took a deep breath on the stone table. He Lianqing snorted and turned into the house, leaving a tall back of arge cotton quilt. Han Hao almost didn¡¯t hold back andughed. He quickly washed the rice and went to the kitchen to cook. He Lianqing returned to the room, took a mirror and took photos of his country¡¯srge cotton jacket, and the colorful colors almost shed his eyes. ¡°¡­¡± He Lianqing put the mirror back, lest he couldn¡¯t stand it and immediately took it off, and disappointed his grandfather¡¯s kindness. During the holiday, Han Yu cooks, and Grandpa helps to get a hand when he has nothing to do. Today, there is one more Helianqing, and the burning of the fire naturally falls on He Lianqing. Just like pulling the radish in the morning, when he was burning, He Lianqing encountered difficulties. He held the chimney against the stove and his face was dark before he burned the fire. After seeing it, Han Hao smiled again. He rubbed his hand and wiped the ash from his face. He looked down at the fire that finally burned. He said with a thumbs up: ¡°You are awesome!¡± He Lianqing: ¡°¡­¡± Damn, this fish is going to be upgraded at your own site, right? ! After eating, Grandpa took the initiative to mention the two of them and looked at them and said: ¡°Grandpa is old, I don¡¯t expect any rich life, as long as you live together in peace.¡± ¡°Do not worry, Grandpa.¡± Han Yu said, He Lianqing also nodded. ¡°I thought about it yesterday. Since things have already been fixed, the two of you have also issued a certificate, that is, a couple, can not y rogue.¡± Grandpa said. Han Han¡¯s hand went around and licked the waist of Qi Lianqing. His eyes hinted at him: Hear no, he can¡¯t y tricks. He Lianqing also nced at him with his eyes, saying: Go back and you will know what is a rogue. Grandpa didn¡¯t notice theirmunication and continued: ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to have a meal together. Just be a witness together. As for the wedding, the old man of your youth doesn¡¯t understand, let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡± Han Wei and He Lianqing nodded. The next day, Han Han took He Lianqing to go to the town to run new year. Herlian¡¯s new year¡¯s goods were counted and purchased by the old butler and Zhou Wei, and He Lianqing never bought a new year¡¯s goods like this. In the town, the number of people who came out to collect the new year¡¯s goods at the end of the year was very much. People crowded people and their toes touched the heels. The height of Helianqing¡¯s one meter nine was actually pushed back by several aunts, let him fully understand. What is the name of the country to collect the day. Han Hao first took him to buy dry goods and snacks, and ended up with two big bags of things to buy red packets, couplets, guns and the like. After the walk, both of them put two big bags in their hands. Due to too many people in the market, Helen¡¯s coat was squeezed out of a lot of folds, and it seemed that there was no bit of expensive temperament. ¡­¡­¡­¡­..:)¡­:)¡­¡­¡­.(:¡­(:¡­¡­¡­¡­..

He was even more nervous than he had been when he went to visit the Helian family for the first time. The only difference between these two asions was that, this time around, excitement is what he felt more than anything else. ¡°Seriously?¡± Han Yang, not daring to believe this news, asked incessantly, ¡°Aunty Su and the others are reallying here? You¡¯re not pulling my leg, right? What about Lao Yezi? Is heing with them?¡± ¡°Of course he¡¯ll being with them,¡± Helian Qing tsk-ed, reaching out to pinch the chattering man¡¯s cheek before adding, ¡°Didn¡¯t I already mention that?¡± Didn¡¯t you want to celebrate New Year¡¯s together with everyone? Aren¡¯t you satisfied?¡± ¡°But, but...¡± Han Yang babbled incoherently, grabbing that spendthrift, named Helian Qing¡ªtightly. ¡°But here is so far away, and it¡¯s also so cold. How are they, how c¡ª¡± ¡°How-how-how-how,¡± Helian Qing interrupted him, saying coldly, ¡°See that, I stuttered out the rest of that word for you, so for the love of God, can you please not say it again.¡± Right now, Han Yang ignored that sharp tongue of his, only feeling how his own brain had be a muddled mess while he gazed at Helian Qing with eyes full of yearning. Thus that man, who was unable to bear such a eager gaze directed towards him, conceded. ¡°I told them that your grandfather already knew about us, and since the desire was there for both families to get together for a meal, they felt there couldn¡¯t be a better auspicious day to meet so they might as well do so during the celebration of the new lunar year. Both families will unite. Is all of it clear now?¡± Han Yang nodded, then immediately shook his head right after. Obviously, he understood what was said, but he still nheless felt shocked! But without a doubt, what he felt the most was touched¡ªas well as excited. Lao Yezi, along with the others, going as far as journeying to such a distant ce to observe the the Spring Festival together with them was simply something he would not even dare think! Seeing a stupefied look still sprawled all over thed¡¯s face, Helian Qing gently stroked his hair as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t go crying again, you crybaby.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t,¡± Han Yang rebuked, though the tone of his voice had a very tiny difference in how it sounded normally. Reaching out to take the smaller man into his embrace, Helian Qing went on to say, ¡°Lao Yezi said he was worried about letting Grandpa go over there on his own, he was worried your grandad wasn¡¯t ustomed. Plus, since he himself had been traveling all over since his youth, making the journey here wouldn¡¯t be, in any way, difficult for himself.¡± ¡°But, this will be too taxing on Lao Yezi and your parents, on top of that, it¡¯s the dead of winter.¡± Han Yang was still very sorry for the inconveniences they would face. ¡°Last winter, Lao Yezi went up Beiqi Mountain with some guys to see the snow, so if he were to climb the mountains here, you¡¯re the one who¡¯d most likely be unable to catch up to him.¡± ¡°...¡± Han Yang chose to remain silent. Truthfully, he really could not climb. What thed never expected though, was that Grandpa was also aware of Lao Yezi and the rest¡¯s arrival. From the beginning, Helian Qing had informed Grandpa a couple of days in advance, and the two of them simply kept it from Han Yang, and nothing more. Although the younger man was taken aback by them keeping him in the dark, he also felt that apart from this Qing G¨¦ge, who else would express such sneaky behavior. That afternoon, Han Yang and Helian Qing made their way to the train station to pick up the three family members. When thed saw the eldest man arrive, he could not help but to rush over and embrace the old man. Shocked by the youth¡¯s embrace, Lao Yezi looked over to Helian Qing who just shrugged in response, followed by a tear wiping action. In an instant, Lao Yezi understood. Now patting Han Yang¡¯s back, heughed, ¡°Why do you look so much like a kid right now?¡± That kid released the older fellow, then called out to Mo Suya as well as Helian Cheng at their side, ¡°Aunty Su, Uncle Cheng.¡± ¡°Hiya,¡± Mo Suya replied with augh, with Helian also responding with a nod. ¨C Han Yang and Grandpa lived in a two bedroom, single living room t; therefore, it could not amodate this many people. Plus, Han Yang was embarrassed to make them stay in such a humble house, so he looked for a cozy and clean hotel in the town, which also had to be close by, to book a room in for them. The two then apanied Lao Yezi andpany for a meal, and afterwards, they sent the older folks off to their hotel, as after the long and hard journey, they were all a bit tired. ¡°Aunty Su, to you and the others, thank you for taking the trouble toe, really,¡± with reddened eyes, and before they parted, Han Yang confessed to Mo Suya. ¡°We¡¯re all family here, so there¡¯s no need to say such things. All I hope is that we¡¯re not causing trouble for you and your Grandpa.¡± Mo Suya gave him a doting smile. ¡°You¡¯re no trouble, at all. Grandpa is very excited. He said the house was now very lively, so please don¡¯t worry yourself over it.¡± Han Yang shook his head as he spoke. ¡°Then, that¡¯s good. It¡¯s gettingte now, so hurry and get back home, okay.¡± Mo Suya patted his shoulder. ¡°Alright. I¡¯lle tomorrow to pick all of you up then,¡± Han Yang dered. ¨C On that very night, when it was Han Yang¡¯s turn to fall asleep, he could not. With his arms wrapped around Helian Qing¡¯s neck intimately, he dered excitedly, ¡°Did you know, that in my family, there¡¯s never been this many people to celebrate the new year with? Just the very thought of Lao Yezi and your parents eating the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner together, makes me extremely excited.¡± ¡°Such a small gift makes you this happy?¡± Helian Qing wore a raised brow as his fingers tapped gently against thed¡¯s waist. Han Yang pondered on it for a while, feeling he should properly reward this Qing G¨¦ge. Therefore he took this opportunity to nip at the man¡¯s ear, then whisper a few words. That man¡¯s tapping fingers stopped, moving to firmly grip thed¡¯s buttocks instead, his voice low as he spoke, ¡°Those were your words¡ªyou can¡¯t back out or beg for mercyter.¡± Everytime Helian Qing spoke in that gritty, low tone carrying those slivers of sensuality, it caused all kinds of titition in his heart; making his face flush for a moment before hepliantly responded, ¡°Whatever you say.¡± Those words allowed that ce below Helian Qing¡¯s abdomen to grow heated; while his hand grew forceful¡ªpressing the other tightly onto his own lower waist, then pulling away those hindersome trousers of thed before he nimble snuck his hand in. Han Yang¡¯s neck contracted; the heat of his entire body increasing thanks to that man¡¯s actions, while the thing between his legs stiffened. Fearing the elderly man would detect his voice, he was left with the sole option of tightly clenching his teeth so as to not make a sound. Helian Qing held both of theirs together, using the friction between them achieve a mutual release, resulting in a slick covered palm. Han Yang leaned against him, panting lightly, as Helian Qing used a paper towel to help the younger man wipe himself clean, followed by going off to wash his hands; returning to lie on the bed then held the other man in his arms. ¡°ept this bit as some interest paid in advance. When we return, I¡¯ll sort you out properly [1].¡± Helian Qing kissed the top of his head. ¡°Let¡¯s get some sleep.¡± ¡°Goodnight, Qing G¨¦ge.¡± Han Yang snuggled against the man, drifting into sleep perfectly satisfied. ¡°...¡± Helian Qing remained silent for a few seconds before issuing his reply: ¡°Goodnight.¡± The next day, Grandpa borrowed a vehicle from Mrs. A¡¯Gui¡¯s family so Helian Qing and Han Yang could go pick up Lao Yezi and the two others to bring them all back to the house. When they all arrived back at the front yard, Grandpa put aside his work, going outside to wee them. Walking towards him, Lao Yezi faced the other old man waving and joy in his voice, ¡°Old friend, hello there.¡± ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Grandpa also walked forward, the two old men shaking hands then patted each other on their backs. Helian Cheng and Mo Suya, who stood beside them, also both said their hellos, while Grandpa nodded happily, greeting them all then ushering them all inside to sit. Han Yang and Helian Qing also followed along, before going to make them tea. While waiting for the tea to brew, those two old men chatted away, with Grandpa going to cupboard to grab his chess board sometime in between, intending for them to swap pointers during a couple or more games. Lao Yezi from the start had thought the two of them would hit it off right off the bat, as they now started a game of chess on the side. Mo Suya and Helian Cheng also chatted with each other while warming up by the fire. After giving them each a serving of tea, Han Yang took a seat beside Mo Suya, a bit of awkwardness around him, ¡°Aunty Su, this house is simple and crude, so please don¡¯t mind it.¡± ¡°What are you talking about? It¡¯s quite alright,¡± Mo Suya said happily, taking a gander at the two old ones ying chess before adding, ¡°Lao Yezi had been talking non-stop about wanting to y a few rounds with your grandad. Right now, he¡¯s as happy as can be.¡± Han Yang smiled along with her, keeping her and Helian Chengpany as he sat next to them conversing. At noon, everyone ate a simple meal. After Han Yang ate his lunch, he then began preparing the New Year¡¯s family dinner. Before, only he and Grandpa made it together, but today that man was in charge of apanying Lao Yezi in a round of chess, so Han Yang made Helian his second inmand in terms of assisting him. ¡°A¡¯Yang, where are you off to? I¡¯lle give you a hand.¡± Mo Suya rolled up her sleeves. ¡°Oh...no¡ªyou don¡¯t have to do that, you and Uncle Cheng should just sit back, and take it easy,¡± Han Yang hurriedly waved. ¡°Helian Qing is quite awesome, he can light the fire.¡± ¡°I for one can for sure only sit back since I¡¯ll just be more of a hindrance than any assistance. But with that said, just let Mo Suya help you out, alright. Her cooking is very delicious,¡± Helian Cheng said joyfully. ¡°A¡¯Qing lit the fire? And he didn¡¯t burn down the stove,¡± Mo Suya teased. ¡°Then I¡¯m sorry for troubling you, Aunty Su,¡± Han Yang, stifling back hisughter, nodded, declining the invitation no longer. Helian Qing really was not that much help, and as he thought about it, his eyes turned to Helian Qing, his head shaking from side to side in disappointment. Taking a radish to peel, Helian Qing, after he understood what that boy had meant, had another type of radish he was itching to grab hold of by its root and slice clean off. Having the god-teammate: Mo Suya providing aid, Helian Qing: the pig-teammate [2], was thus exiled to the yard to wash the vegetables; and even before his departure, he was given the cold shoulder by those two. As he washed the huge pile of vegetables before him, that Qing G¨¦ge was already filling up the bill in his heart, just biding his time until they went back after the new year so that Saltfish could settle this bill. When Han Yang went out to take the green veggies he saw that man sitting on the short stool, his tall back bent slightly at the waist, with his feet apart as he he washed the radishes, celery, scallions, and napa cabbage clean. He walked over, rubbing Helian Qing¡¯s back from behind, leaning over closely before looking over and asking, ¡°Are you done washing them?¡± Helian Qing was in no mood to pay attention to him, simply putting a head of napa cabbage into the water while remaining indifferent. Thinking an angry Qing G¨¦ge was extremely cute, Han Yang, taking advantage of the empty yard, wrapped one arm around Helian Qing¡¯s neck then reached into the vegetable washing basin with the other, grabbing the taciturn man¡¯s hand while asking, ¡°Is the water too cold? Do you want me to get you some hot water to add to it?¡± Afraid Helian Qing would not be able to endure washing the veggies in the cold, Han Yang mixed in some water to make the water warm on his behalf. Helian Qing scoffed, saying, ¡°Cold-hearted.[3]¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Han Yang was unable to stop hisughter from escaping, moving to embrace him and ask, ¡°Why are you mad, huh?¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Helian Qing tossed the napa cabbage into the water, ¡°Do you believe I won¡¯t sort you out right now?¡± ¡°I believe it¡ªI believe it!¡± Han Yang kissed his neck to curry his favor, saying, ¡°Even though your fire lighting technique for the stove needs some work, the soups you make are my absolute favourite.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote for that [4],¡± Helian Qing huffed, leaning his head to the side because the ces where Han Yang kissed grew ticklish, saying, ¡°My neck itches.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll scratch it for you then, ¡± Han Yang said, reaching over to help him scratch it just as the man added, ¡°Use your mouth.¡± ¡°...¡± Han Yang shoved him, ¡°You¡¯re too much!¡± ¡°My neck itches,¡± Helian Qing repeated. Han Yang knew he would again kick up a fuss in order to be coaxed, so after ncing back at the house and noticing no one was paying any mind to where they were, he moved closer to Helian Qing to kiss his neck; to his surprise, before he met that ce, that man turned his head abruptly causing Han Yang¡¯s lips tond on his own in the end. ¡°...¡± Han Yang yanked himself away from him, ring at him with widened eyes, ¡°How could you! [5]¡± then picked up the vegetables and returned to the kitchen. Looking on at his retreating figure, with lips raised into a curve, Helian Qing revealed a smile saying: I got away with it, while saying cheerily, ¡°You wanna take me on, as if.¡± ¡ª Han Yang and Mo Suya packed therge table with dishes. There were at least two dishes of everyone¡¯s favourite dish, meat-based dishes, vegetable-based dishes, main staples, snacks, deserts, and whatever else could be thought of was there. The entirety of that huge circr table was packed full. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since this house had been this lively,¡± Grandpa sighed. ¡°For the years that have passed, Xiao Yang and I were the only two celebrating the New Year, and this old man here even had to endure keeping this ritual by himself for some years.¡± ¡°To make sure it¡¯ll always be this lively, tell me when you¡¯ll be dropping by to y with me old friend?¡± Lao Yezi asked. ¡°When there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll go,¡± Grandpaughed, lifting a cup to toast, saying, ¡°Come,e,e¡ªlet¡¯s touch sses. Thank you all for traveling from far toe visit us here, this is our Xiao Yang¡¯s good fortune.¡± ¡°We¡¯re family, there¡¯s no need for such courtesy between family. A¡¯Qing being able to be together with Xiao Yang is his own good fortune.¡± Lao Yezi said from beside him in toast. ¡°I am blessed.¡± Helian Qing stated, his hand gripping Han Yang¡¯s under the table. Han Yang looked towards him, quietly gripping his in return. Afterwards, the big family sat together chatting and watching the broadcast of the Spring Festival G. When it was past ten o¡¯clock, Helian Qing dropped Lao Yezi and his parents back to their hotel. Before leaving the hotel, Mo Suya gave Han Yang three red envelopes, exining, ¡°There¡¯s one for each of you two, along with one to give to your grandad.¡± ¡°... No, I can¡¯t take these,¡± Han Yang replied urgently, but at the same time Helian Qing reached over and took them. ¡°Thanks, Ma.¡± Han Yang nced at him, silent. Left with no option but to say to Mo Suya, ¡°Thank you, Aunty Su.¡± Mo Suya chuckled, ¡°Why are you still calling me Aunty Su?¡± Han Yang¡¯s face flushed, as he then whispered, ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± ¡°Aye!¡± Mo Suya nodded satisfyingly, ¡°What a good child.¡± Upon their return to the house, Grandpa has already turned in and all the lights in the house along with the television were still left on. As per the vige¡¯s custom, from New Year¡¯s Eve till the second or third day of the year, leaving the lights and television on would allow the god of wealth toe in. Han Yang went to Grandpa¡¯s room, cing the red envelope at his bedside. Three of the packets in total: one for him, one for Helian Qing, in addition to the one for the elderly man. Once he came out from the room he saw Helian Qing sitting by the fire, fiddling with something. Walking over to take look, he noticed the other was turning over two sweet potatoes which were put into the fire to bake, shaking off the ashes, then resting them on the ground beside him. Han Yang sat beside him, taking a sweet potato to begin peeling, and reminiscing about the days earlier events. Helian Qing sat by quietly, listening, waiting for him to finish speaking before lowering his head to touch the one belonging to thed, saying: ¡°Later, I¡¯ll apany you in seeing in the new year.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Han Yang¡¯s eyes curved as he smiled, ¡°You¡¯re very kind.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Helian Qing gave him a ¡°you know it well¡± expression in return. As midnight approached, firecrackers and fireworks had begun being released throughout the vige. Han Yang and Helian Qing therefore took the fireworks they prepared to the roof, lighting them. The firework emitted a high pitched cry, shooting high into the sky, then ¡°BOOM¡ª¡±, exploded. The first explosion, after it, a second one followed¡ªbriefly dyeing the night sky in every colour under the sun, transforming it into truly splendid sight. Han Yang wrapped his arms around Helian Qing, tiptoeing slightly to say beside his ear, ¡°I love you.¡± Reaching around to hold his waist in return, Helian Qing leant, kissing his cheek, ¡°I love you too.¡± *** ................??????................. Notes: (THEY SAID ÎÒ°®Ä㣡?? I ducking love this novel!!!) [1] When Helian Qing said ¡°ept¡± in advance, he used ¡°ÊÕ¡± and ¡°sort him out¡± he used ¡°ÊÕÊ°¡±. Now ¡°ÊÕ: sh¨­u¡± also means the receiver/bottom/uke, so if the context wasn¡¯t a giant hint, this will hammer the point home~ [2] Éñ¶ÓÓÑ and Öí¶ÓÓÑ: god-teammate & pig-teamate. God-teammates are super helpful, and very convenient; pig-teammates are super unhelpful, very inconvenient. (Han Yang traded in the princess for a queen ??) [3] ÐÄÁ¹: cold heart. Meaning, apparently this could mean twopletely different things ording to whether it¡¯s interpreted using its Cantonese meaning: happy/satisfied/gloating, or it¡¯s meaning in Mandarin: disappointed/cold-hearted. [4] ÂíºóÅÚ: (idiom) shooting after the horse. Meaning ¨C doing something after the fact when it can¡¯t be changed. [5] Ë£Àµ: to act shamelessly. It describes when someone does something naughty and gets away with it. Its meaning seems to be more about conveying the incredulity of the act rather than expressly describing the act itself, hence it¡¯s non literal trantion here. Chapter 26(END) - extra 1 extra 1 In the third month of the new year, Han Yang and Helian Qing¡¯s wedding was held¡ªon the same as Helian Qing¡¯s birthday. Not many were invited to this ceremony, only a few family members and friends from both sides were in attendance. Han Yang donned a white suit, while Helian Qing donned a ck one, both currently standing before a pastor. ¡°Mr. Helian Qing, do you take Han Yang as yourwfully wedded husband, from this day forward, to have and to hold; the help one another, for better or worse; for richer or poorer; in sickness or in health¡ªto love and cherish one another, remaining faithful to him as long as you live,¡± the pastor asked. ¡°I do.¡± Helian Qing replied resolutely. ¡°Mr. Han Yang, do you take Mr. Helian Qing as yourwfully wedded husband, from this day forward, to have and to hold; the help one another, for better or worse; for richer or poorer; in sickness or in health¡ªto love and cherish one another, remaining faithful to him as long as you live?¡± ¡°Yes, I do.¡± Han Yang said with the same resolve. ¡°Please exchange your rings,¡± the pastor instructed, allow the ones beside them to go up and pass the wedding bands. Han Yang and Helian Qing each put on the wedding ring for the other, sliding the silver band onto the other¡¯s ring finger, binding them to one another for a lifetime. ¡°And now, you grooms can kiss one another.¡± The priest pped his hands together. Helian Qing, hands ced on Han Yang¡¯s shoulders, lowered his head slightly, kissing the younger fellow on his lips. From the ones seated below looking on, Grandpa and Mo Suya smiled at the same time with reddened eyes. Seated behind them were She Zhang and the other two, with a baffled Lao¡¯er nudging She Zhang, asking, ¡°Laoda, this is such a good day, so why are you crying, huh?¡± ¡°No...Big brother is just extremely happy!¡± She Zhang blew his nose, ¡°I don¡¯t know why it¡¯s so touching.¡± ¡°Seriously? You, were moved to tears?¡± Lao¡¯si was shocked. ¡°She Zhang¡¯s heart overflowed with tears, I didn¡¯t just want to cry, I also felt like I was going to bend...Save me!!!! [T/n: bend ??] * Later that night, Han Yangy on the the bed, ying around with his ring. It was a new one Helian Qing had custom made, and was quite unlike the original pair. Thinking about how other married couples would engrave the inside their rings; he became curious about whether Helian Qing had also done the same, slipping it off, to then observe it carefully. After looking he noticed no characters engraved on the inside, but it had a picture¡ªit was Helian Qing¡¯s WeChat profile picture: the princess¡¯ headdress!! Han Yang stared at this picture feeling somewhat shocked. Laughing softy soon after, he then lowered his head, kissing the ring. Right then, Helian Qing had just exited the bathroom, drying his hair as he walked out, saying to Han Yang, ¡°Come help me blow...¡± his sentence stopped midway due to Han Yang tugging his hand, then slipping his ring off. Han Yang looked at the inner part of Helian Qing¡¯s ring, and just as he had suspected, inside, was the picture of a saltfish. Once he saw he was discovered, Helian Qing was surprisingly quite embarrassed, so he snatched the ring and returned it to his finger. Han Yang upon seeing this propped up his head with his hand, grinning while looking at him, ¡°G¨¦ge, so it turns out you¡¯re a low-key romantic, huh~¡± Helian Qing tossed the towed aside, going over to the bedside, lowered his head to look at him and say, ¡°Do you think taking advantage and acting all clever means you won¡¯t be sorted out?¡± Han Yang stood up from the bed, wrapping both arms around Helian Qing¡¯s neck, lowering his head, touching it with the man¡¯s forehead, ¡°What if I want to be?¡± Helian Qing, silent for a couple seconds, then grabbed hold of thed¡¯s buttocks with his hands, before pressing the other down on the bed. That same night, the first time Han Yang waspelled to call out Lao Gong by Helian Qing in bed came to be. Later, after they were done, his entire figure resembled a saltfish that had crawled onto the shore to escape the water;cking the strength to even flick his tail. So in the end, Helian Qing had to carry said saltfish to clean him up. [T/n: Lao Gong means husband] Returning and lying on their bed once more, Helian Qing embraced him, saying softly, ¡°Let¡¯s sleep.¡± Han Yang grunted in ascent, curling into Helian Qing¡¯s arms, holding the other man¡¯s hand under the covers, ¡°Goodnight, G¨¦ge.¡± ¡°Goodnight,¡± Helian Qing held him, whispering, ¡°my darling.¡± * * * * * The End¡« The Novel will be updated first on this website.
