Xia Bao

It's time to eat.The smell of food wafted from the kitchens of every household. When Qin Feng came here for the first time when he was young, the house where babbling opera was playing, through the open window, there was a woman's high-pitched voice while cooking. Called her to wash her hands and eat.

Every household has a nannie, who is the unique treasure in that family.

Standing downstairs, Qin Feng looked up at the window that he was familiar with and couldn't be more familiar with, suddenly he felt a feeling of being close to his hometown.

"Mr. Qin?" Aunt Sun who came downstairs called Qin Feng.She was hired by Qin Feng to take care of Qin Yi. She lives not far away and has a good temper. She is a rare housekeeper who can get along with Qin Yi in a normal way: "Why don't you go upstairs? I just finished cooking. By the way, Ms. Qin's The son is back."

"Go ahead." Qin Feng settled his mind: "Aunt Sun, where are you going? Shopping?"

Aunt Sun waved her hand: "Ms. Qin is in a good mood these days, so she asked me to go back earlier."

After talking to Aunt Sun, Qin Feng walked with long legs, three steps in parallel, and stood directly at the door.

There is only one door.The heart suddenly thumped wildly.

Qin Feng licked his lips nervously, like a 17-year-old boy, a little overwhelmed and flustered.What should be the first sentence?Will Qin Yi's attitude change drastically?The originally relaxed relationship has become rigid again?Should he smile or be serious?

It was Qin Yi who came to open the door.

To say she looks radiant is no exaggeration.

From Qin Feng's point of view, she looked very good, with a smile all over her face.The usual listless and listless appearance was swept away, where is the stubbornness of not thinking about Qin Xia's return when he is stubborn?

Qin Yi looked at Qin Feng standing outside the door without being surprised at all. She didn't even suppress the smile on her lips. It was as natural as every time Qin Feng came over in the past: "Here you come? Come in, just in time for dinner."

After following Qin Yi into the house and changing his slippers, Qin Feng raised his head, just in time to meet Qin Xia's gaze.

A boy-like young man was sitting at the dining table, wearing a blue round-neck short-sleeved T-shirt paired with fine plaid home shorts, with black flip-flops on his white feet.Looking relaxed and casual, with a little laziness and vigor like a teenager, it is very charming.

Qin Feng swallowed hard: "Brother."

Qin Xia smiled as usual, and pointed to her side: "Xiao Feng is here? Sit down and eat."

Qin Yi went to the kitchen and helped Qin Feng pack a bowl of rice and added a pair of chopsticks: "What are you waiting for? Wash your hands."

The three of them finally sat at the small square table, each occupying one side, eating quietly.

The dishes are quite rich, if they haven't changed over the years, then they are all Qin Xia's favorite, plain vegetables.

Stir-fried lotus pond, fried shredded pork with celery, homemade tofu, steamed fish.

How could Qin Feng have the heart to eat?Most of his soul was gone, his eyes were fixed on his rice bowl, and his other senses were all moved to Qin Xia, who was only a short distance away.

"By the way," Qin Yi put down her rice bowl and stood up: "There is Auntie Sun's stewed bamboo shoots and roasted pork at noon in the refrigerator. Qin Feng likes stewed braised pork. I'll heat it up in the microwave for you to eat."

"Thank you, aunt." Qin Feng looked at the woman's back, feeling anxious and happy at the same time.

Glancing secretly at Qin Xia from the corner of his eyes, he put his hands under the table and clenched into fists.

After eating, Qin Feng rushed to wash the dishes. The hot wind blowing in from the window was mixed with the smell of green grass, and the sky was completely dark.

In the living room, the TV was on, and it was playing the popular TV series The Family of Gold Fans.Leng Qingqiu wears two braids and a plain light blue school uniform with a slanted front, pure and pleasant.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Qin Feng had the cheek to sit on the sofa and watch TV.

He didn't dare to sit next to Qin Xia, and sat obediently in a corner alone, staring at the TV with interest.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the two episodes of the TV series were finished, and it was almost 09:30.

Qin Yi sighed and stood up: "This Jin Yanxi is really..."

"Mum, it's getting late, go to bed early." Qin Xia also got up: "I'll help you heat the milk."

Both of them no longer sat down, Qin Feng naturally followed the crowd.The huge man stood there, as if he had just caught Qin Yi's attention.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, you haven't left yet?"

Qin Feng felt his face was hot: "Let's go..."

How should I put that feeling, it's close to the [-] embarrassment of being exposed.

"It's getting late." Qin Yi pondered for a moment, pointed at the sofa, "Why don't you just stay at home for one night."

Qin Feng was overjoyed, and just about to nod his head hastily, but Qin Xia interjected: "I don't even have a guest room at home, isn't there an express hotel outside the gate downstairs? It's convenient."

Never thinking that Qin Xia would raise objections, Qin Feng was so full of grievances that he was about to explode.

Qin Yi smiled, looked at this and that, waved her hands: "I don't care about you. But if you live at home, you can only sleep in the living room, understand?"

"Understood, understood." Qin Feng nodded again and again: "Auntie, go to bed early, what are you going to eat tomorrow morning? I'll get up early to buy."

"There are Coke and watermelon in the refrigerator. Don't be greedy for coolness in hot weather. Eat less. I'm going to sleep." Qin Yi took a bottle of fresh milk and walked to her room: "Qin Feng, go to the Wu's shop tomorrow morning to line up and buy some fresh food." Fry it for my daughter to eat."

Qin Xia and Qin Feng were the only ones left in the living room. With a distance of three or two steps, the ceiling fan brushed Qin Xia's soft hair like passionate hands.

"Then I'll help you make the bed." Qin Xia lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes covered his expression: "The sofa is short, please feel wronged."

"I'm not wronged." Qin Feng blurted out, his brain became hot, and he reached out to hold Qin Xia's wrist, refusing to let him leave.

Along the way, I was full of joy and anticipation, and I couldn't hold back the words anymore. I suppressed my voice and almost begged: "I have something to tell you. Can I go downstairs for a walk?"

The neighbors downstairs who were enjoying the shade were all gone, and the community was extremely quiet, even the crickets in the grass could be heard.

"Nancy told me everything." Qin Feng looked at Qin Xia who was walking side by side with a calm expression: "You are not lovers at all."

Qin Xia hooked the corners of her mouth lightly, her smile was so weak that it was almost invisible: "Yes, Nancy and Ting Lan were my good friends when I was in America."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Qin Feng thought he couldn't complain, but couldn't help but say: "I'm going to die of pain these days. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Seeing Qin Xia bowing his head and not answering, Qin Feng thought of his own problem, and quickly clarified: "Lele is Du Qiang's child, and Du Qiang wants to adopt him to me. Lele and I also hit it off. If you don't like , I turned around and asked him to change his words—"

"Du Qiang's child?" Qin Xia finally looked at Qin Feng, the surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed: "I thought you were married."

"I'm not married." Qin Feng looked around, and his voice was so deep that it almost melted into the night: "I only think about you, and I have never changed. I planned to go to the United States to find you two years ago, but my mother found out that I got sick, and Du Qiang committed another crime and went to prison. I really can't leave. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Qin Xia's footsteps stopped, she just stared blankly, opened her mouth as if she didn't know what to say.

"Xia Bao, do you still want me now?" The clingy young man of the past is back, no longer the calm and sharp elite in the workplace, the emotion in his brows is undisguised: "I have the ability to protect you now, don't you?" Let you be wronged. Well, you have also seen that over the years, I have almost overcome your mother's difficulty. My mother has no objection to us being together at all. And, oh, now I have money and Ability, no longer naive and foolish thinking that fists are enough, Xia Bao..."

Seeing the other party's eagerness to wait, it was like a clumsy display like a male peacock opening its tail.Qin Xia bit her lip, her eyes were red, her throat was choked up, and she couldn't say enough words: "Xiaofeng, I..."

Rubbing his hands together, Qin Feng said cautiously, "Xia Bao, can you let me hug you?"

So much missing, so long waiting, so deep love.If you don't hold it firmly in your arms, you won't be at ease.

Qin Xia choked up a sob, and bent the corner of her mouth to laugh, but tears fell down.

"Don't cry, Xia Bao. My heart aches when you cry." Qin Feng bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and wiped his tears with his thumb: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If you are angry, you can beat me..."

"Fool..." Qin Xia whimpered, stretched out her arms to hug the tall young man, and ignored him: "You're still so stupid after so many years..."

The warmth in her arms is not a dream, it is real and heart-palpitating.

Qin Feng returned a tighter hug, wishing he could embed him in his arms and never separate again.The person I have been thinking about is back, and I have been waiting for each other for so many years. There is nothing more beautiful but also more sad than this.

He tried to persuade him not to cry, but Qin Feng's own nose was sore: "Xia Bao, I don't think you can do anything... I dare not contact you, I'm afraid that once I hear your voice, I won't care about anything." Go, buy a ticket and fly there... I wrote you a lot of letters, but I dare not send any of them, they are all in the draft box, waiting for you to come back and read... Xia Bao, I have seriously thought about it, if you If I can't come back, I'll wait for my mother to find you after a hundred years, and Lai will stay by your side..."

Qin Xia clutched the hem of his clothes, the veins on the back of her slender hands were stretched due to excessive force.There are so many things I want to say, and the mood is so ups and downs at the moment, that the usually stable young man is a little incoherent: "I heard what Ding Ziming said... I can't wait any longer. I am going from Australia to California, USA. I just want to leave a way out for the two of us. Same-sex couples are allowed in California...I didn't dare to let you wait for me, but I was unwilling...I wanted to give you the greatest freedom to choose, but I couldn't help but put My mother entrusted you, I'm so selfish, I don't want you to really forget me... Seeing Lele call your father, my heart hurts so much that I wish I could die, but I can't say anything, I have no position..."

"I understand." Qin Feng patted him on the back to comfort him: "I couldn't stand looking at Nancy, so I thought how could it be like this? You're already back, and you're going to end up suffering... These two days I tried my best to convince myself that it is a good thing for Xia Bao to have a family, it is a good thing for him to live happily, and I will be happy if he is happy... But I still couldn't help but feel sad, and even thought darkly, I just took you here regardless , I will treat you better, better than anyone in the world...Xia Bao, I have never changed, I am still the Xiaofeng you are familiar with..."

The two of them were never really alone.During such a bitter waiting, he was working hard, and he was also fighting for the future of the two of them. His unswerving determination, which he had never said in secret, was as firm as a rock and as deep as the sea.

The phone in Qin Feng's trouser pocket vibrated, it was a text message from Qin Yi.

"Don't embarrass yourself outside, if you have something to say, go home."
