Raised the wolf cub again

happy New Year.

These four words were quickly submerged in the deafening sound of firecrackers.

On New Year's Eve in the small town, every household is watching the new year, setting off firecrackers at 0 o'clock to welcome the new year with the sound of firecrackers.

Almost at the moment when the firecrackers sounded in the streets and alleys, Qiao Yue stretched out his hands and covered Xiu Ze's ears.

It wasn't until 0 o'clock passed, I don't know if it was 3 minutes or 5 minutes, and Qiao Yue didn't put his hand down until the sound of firecrackers was not so loud.

Under the moonlight, Xiu Ze's fair and beautiful face was stunned.

This Xiu Ze is so cute, Qiao Yue couldn't help poking his face with his fingers, and asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"

Xiu Ze looked at him and shook his head. After a moment, he nodded again.

"Sure enough, I was terrified."

Qiao Yue started to help Xiu Ze straighten the broken hair in front of his forehead, and said: "You grew up in the imperial capital. The imperial capital does not set off firecrackers during the New Year, and it is not so lively. Those New Year customs have long since disappeared. Later you I went abroad again, so I guess you haven't celebrated the New Year like this."

"En." Xiu Ze nodded, and grabbed Qiao Yue's hand that was about to withdraw.

Qiao Yue was born with a cold body, and his hands were always cold. In addition, the temperature on the top of the building was low at night. The two of them sat on the top of the building for a while, and now his ten fingers were already cold.

Xiu Ze's hand was big and warm, he wrapped Qiao Yue's hand completely in his palm, and then he opened his mouth slowly.

"When I was a child in the orphanage, during the Chinese New Year, the aunt would give each of us a piece of rice cake, and the food would be better than usual. But because many aunts have returned to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, only two or three aunts were there, so the New Year's orphanage is actually Very deserted."

"Later, I went abroad, and the Chinese New Year was not celebrated abroad. And I was busy with filming, so I basically spent the Chinese New Year with the crew. Many times, I was so busy that I couldn't even think about the Chinese New Year."

Xiu Ze picked up the small bench that had just been kicked upside down.

There were endless fireworks overhead, and the two sat side by side on a small bench, looking at the lights of Wanjia in the distance.

He didn't let go of Qiao Yue's hand.

"Actually, I don't feel much about Chinese New Year. I think it's the same as usual, except that the shops are closed and there are fewer people on the road."

Xiu Ze's slightly deep voice was a little lonely.

"I still eat the New Year's Eve dinner alone, watch the Spring Festival Gala alone, and watch the New Year's Eve alone... So for me, there is actually no difference between the New Year's Eve and the usual time."

Qiao Yue took his hand out of Xiu Ze's palm, and when the other party was stunned, he interlocked his fingers instead.

He looked up at the fireworks in the distance and the night sky where thousands of lights were intersecting, and said slowly: "I go home every year to celebrate the New Year. First, I come back to visit my parents, chat with the two old people, and reunite the whole family." Have a meal, and secondly, celebrate the New Year in my hometown, which is more New Year's flavor."

Xiu Ze nodded: "Indeed, even big cities don't have such an atmosphere anymore."

Later, Qiao Yue told Xiu Ze a lot about the customs of the New Year, the story of setting off firecrackers to drive away the Nian beast, the origin of keeping the year old, and all the interesting things he knew about the New Year with Xiu Ze.

Xiu Ze listened silently, asking a few questions from time to time.

The hands of the two interlocked their fingers and never let go.

"In our hometown, the Chinese New Year is the most important day of the year. No matter how busy people are in other places, they will go home to visit their parents when the Chinese New Year comes, and spend the year well."

Having said that, Qiao Yue paused, and turned his gaze from the fireworks in the distance to the person beside him.

"Xiu Ze, no one will accompany you to celebrate the new year before, but from now on, I will spend it with you."

The firm words were conveyed to each other through the strength of each other's fingers, and Qiao Yue said, "Every year."

Xiu Ze was also looking at him, his dark eyes filled with tenderness.

After a long time, Xiu Ze said, "Okay."

The fireworks in the air lasted for a long time, one disappeared, and a bigger one bloomed, leaving a moment of splendor in the dark blue night.

Xiu Ze grabbed his waist and let him lean on his shoulder.

The two cuddled for a while, when Xiu Ze suddenly spoke.

"You kept something from me just now, didn't you?"

Qiao Yue really wanted to give Xiu Ze a supercilious look.

God knows how much courage it took him just now to hook Xiuze's neck and offer himself up. Now his lips are still swollen, and his back hurts from being knocked against the concrete wall. As a result...

Qiao Yue didn't speak, Xiu Ze stared at him for a while, and said: "I know you always like to handle everything by yourself, solve it by yourself, don't like to talk to others, don't like to ask others for help, and don't like to ask for help if you have any worries. Tell someone."

"But, Teacher Qiao, you are not alone now." Xiu Ze held his hand tightly, "You have me now, and you will no longer be alone from now on."

"You can share your joy with me. If you have difficulties, you can tell me. We can solve them together. I hope you can tell me what's on your mind."

Xiu Ze continued: "We are the closest people to each other, and we are lovers who will spend the rest of our lives together. I hope that my lover can tell me what is on his mind, instead of keeping everything in his heart and bearing it silently by himself. ,do you understand?"

Qiao Yue slowly curled his fingers tightly and then loosened them. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I admit it."

"Xiu Ze." He raised his head and looked at the person beside him, "I admit that I do have something to hide from you, but I don't want to tell you, is that okay?"

Xiu Ze looked down at him, those dark eyes were like the sea, full of infinite tolerance, "Well, if you don't want to say it, you can tell me directly that you don't want to say it, I won't force you, when you want to Say it, tell me again."

"Mr. Qiao, don't ever hide or lie to me, okay?" Xiu Ze held Qiao Yue's shoulders, and the pupils of the two reflected each other, "I can't accept deception, especially the deception of the closest person. I don’t know what I’m going to do then.”

"I promise you." Qiao Yue said, "Similarly, I don't like my lover to hide or deceive me."

"Don't worry, I won't." Xiu Ze lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead, "Honey, can I ask you a question?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Why haven't you been in love for five years?"

"Who said I didn't talk about it..." In order to save face, he almost blurted out a lie, and remembering that he promised Xiu Ze not to lie or hide it just now, he changed his words, "It's not appropriate."

Xiu Ze looked at him, his eyes were shining with fireworks, and he didn't speak.

"They're not what I want."

Xiu Ze still looked at him without speaking.

Qiao Yue sighed and said, "Well, I'm waiting for you, are you satisfied?"

Xiu Ze said: "Well, although it's a lie, it's a white lie, and because I like to hear it, I don't care about it with you."

"It's not a lie." Qiao Yue said.

"no?"

"Ah."

Xiu Ze was stunned.

Qiao Yue continued: "I fell in love with you earlier than you imagined, but I don't want to admit it."

Xiu Ze was even more stunned.

For a long time, he thought it was his wishful thinking, his single arrow, but he never expected... It turned out that he was never wishful thinking, and he suddenly felt very lucky.

"Okay, I have answered you so much, I also have a question to ask you." Qiao Yue said, "You are abroad, do you often play the game of feeding wine with others?"

Xiu Ze was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "No, I have never done this with anyone. You are the first and the last."

"Baby, I performed so well today, so my score shouldn't be negative today, right?" Xiu Ze suddenly put his arms around his waist, his movements were strong, but his tone was coquettish, "I have lost 350 points in the past half a month , you still don’t give me a positive score today?”

Qiao Yue said: "I just hit my back on the concrete wall, and it still hurts. For this behavior, I will lose 20 points."

"Ah?" Xiu Ze opened his mouth wide, and the whole person is one: a grievance emoticon pack.

"However, what you just said made me very happy, so this sentence is 999 points."

"Really? I'm finally not a negative score, but a few hundred points positive."

Xiu Ze picked him up and circled around, asking: "Yue Yue, Qiao Qiao, Xiao Yue, which name do you prefer?"

"I'm dizzy, let me go."

"We already have this kind of relationship, why can't we still call you Teacher Qiao? How strange, of course, I will call you Teacher Qiao when there are outsiders around, but when it's just the two of us, I hope to have a unique title Calling you. Don't like these, so, baby?"

"..." Qiao Yue said speechlessly, "Can't you just call me by my name, Qiao Yue?"

"That's not kind enough."

"Put me down quickly, stop making trouble."

"Call my husband, my husband will let you go down."

"..."

"Either you choose one, or I'll call you baby?"

"……childish"

"Okay, then call it baby."

"you……"

The two quarreled on the roof until 01:30 before returning to the room.

Originally, Xiu Ze was still stubborn to keep watch until dawn, saying that he would go to the countryside and do as the Romans did, and he refused to go back to his room to rest even if he died.Qiao Yue told him that he had to go door to door to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, he was busy, he would not sleep tonight and he would not be energetic tomorrow, so Xiu Ze obediently followed him down.

Regarding sleeping, the two naturally slept in Qiao Yue's bedroom.

Mother Qiao usually cleaned the room. Although it had been vacant for many years, it was clean.It's just this single bed, it's a bit crowded for two big men to lie on it, and Qiao Yue, who is a little shorter, has to snuggle into Xiu Ze's arms.

"How about we change rooms with my parents? Their beds are bigger." Qiao Yue suggested.

"Uncle and aunt are already asleep now, so don't disturb them." Xiu Ze said with his arms naturally around his waist and his chin resting in his hair. He seemed quite satisfied with this sleeping position.

"Why are you sleeping? Didn't you hear such a loud conversation downstairs?" Qiao Yue pointed to the downstairs. The sound insulation in the house is not very good. It is true that a lot of movement from the first floor can be heard on the second floor.

"They must still be playing cards with their uncle and aunt. It's rare for them to get together during the Chinese New Year. They will definitely play all night tonight. Anyway, their bedrooms are empty, so I'll tell them."

Qiao Yue was about to get up as he said that, but was pulled by Xiu Ze's iron arm, and fell into each other's arms, and the two bodies were inevitably stuck together.

Aware of the change in a certain part of someone, Qiao Yue made a struggle with his hands and feet before his brain, "I...I'll go to sleep in my parents' room, and you should go to bed early too. Tomorrow I..."

"Don't move." Xiu Ze warned in a low voice.
