[Bottle evil] Waiting for the migratory birds to fly back

"Passengers heading to Los Angeles, please pay attention: the flight CA983 you are taking is now starting to check in, please go to counter 17 to check in..."

Zhang Qiling straightened his mind, put away the novel that Wu Xie stuffed into his backpack before leaving, got up and prepared to board the plane.

"Take it, it takes more than ten hours of flight, just pass the time." That's what Wu Xie told him at the time.

Zhang Qiling couldn't deny it, although he had seen Wu Xie's unnatural expression, but he didn't intend to expose Wu Xie.On the contrary, he also found it quite interesting.

After getting on the plane, sitting next to Zhang Qiling was an elderly Caucasian old man. Zhang Qiling only took a look at him: the old man had messy pale blond hair, was wearing a contrasting color shirt and five-point denim shorts, He dressed bolder than young people in their twenties, and looked very out of place compared to the suits and leather shoes of the people around them.

But he himself didn't seem to care very much, he called the flight attendant: "Hi," he spoke in his unproficient Chinese, "I want a glass of champagne, oh no, let's have two glasses."

The flight attendant quickly brought him wine. She held a small tray and asked politely, "Are you drinking alone? Sir."

"I'm too old to drink two cups, but I would like to ask this gentleman to have a cup too," said the old man.

Zhang Qiling was reading a novel at first, when he finally raised his head after hearing this, he saw the old man's blue eyes shining happily, and handed him the champagne, "Young man, are you interested in having a drink with me, the old man?"

Zhang Qiling thought for a while, took the wine glass and closed the book.Although he was very curious about what Wu Xie's intentions were, he was unwilling to refuse an old man's kindness.

Anyway, there is no rush.Thinking of this, he put the book aside, and turned to find that the old man was looking at his hand curiously, with a simple silver ring on his ring finger.

This is also what Wu Xie insisted on him before he left. Domestic laws cannot allow their relationship to be blessed by everyone. Although he and Wu Xie don't care about other people's eyes, they still decided to keep a low profile after discussing it. Some are better, they all have rings, but they don't usually wear them.This time Zhang Qiling was on a business trip to the United States, and he was as calm as Wu Xie. After listening to the black glasses emphatically describing how Zhang Qiling was welcomed by foreign women in the United States, he couldn't help getting nervous.

Zhang Qiling watched helplessly as he rummaged through boxes and cabinets, not knowing what he was looking for. They had been together for three years, but Wu Xie's temperament became more and more childlike. Zhang Qiling often felt that maybe it was because of Wu Xie's previous behavior. The time was too repressed. He used to think that Wu Xie's indifferent personality is not a good thing, but a little joy is good.Now it seems... probably overkill.

But there is nothing wrong now, Zhang Qiling thought silently in his heart, he saw Wu Xie took out a small box from the box and held it in front of him, he took the small blue velvet box, and gently opened it.

Inside was a pair of plain white silver rings.

This was given to him by Wu Xie when they were first together, and now it is taken out again, Wu Xie rubbed a smear of dust on his chin, Zhang Qiling reached out to wipe it off for him, and heard him pretending to grit his teeth fiercely: "Dare to miss me!" I have to kill their ideas in the bud!"

Zhang Qiling laughed lightly, with connivance in his smile, he naturally put one on, and stretched out his hand to take the other for Wu Xie, but Wu Xie felt rather embarrassed. He looked at Zhang Qiling's fingers and said, "Would you like to wear it?" The ring is pretty nice."

Zhang Qiling rubbed Wu Xie's head, "You look pretty too."

Wu Xie stared at Zhang Qiling dumbfounded for a while, "That's great, little brother, you can talk about love now."

Zhang Qiling: "..." This is really an overkill.

"It seems that you are quite affectionate." The old man looked at the faint smile that flashed across Zhang Qiling's face with a smile, "How many years have you been married?"

Zhang Qiling said: "Not married, we have been together for three years."

The old man was a little surprised, "I thought you were already married."

Zhang Qiling thought for a while, rubbed the ring on his ring finger, and changed the wording more euphemistically, "I can only give him this."

The old man understood, and he responded with a tolerant smile, "Bless you, children."

Then they chatted intermittently for a while. The old man said that he was visiting his brother. When he learned that the old man’s destination was very close to his company, Zhang Qiling proposed to go with him. The old man readily accepted and gave Zhang Qiling a thumbs up. .

When he got out of the airport, the person sent by the company to pick him up was waiting for them with a nameplate. After the old man was delivered to the destination, Zhang Qiling asked the driver to turn around and drive back to the company.

In the past three years, he has frequently flown back and forth between China and Los Angeles. He didn’t feel much when he was alone before, but now that there is someone waiting for him at home, this kind of life with less gathering and more separation has become something unbearable.

He planned to change jobs more than once. Although Wu Xie didn't say anything on the surface, Zhang Qiling actually cared about it until he was there.

On the New Year's Eve of the year they were with Wu Xie, they finally returned to Wu's house.Although the Wu family disapproved of the relationship between Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling, they did not raise any objections. Probably Wu Xie's second uncle mediated among them, and finally told Wu Xie's parents what happened in the past ten years-of course it was not true But it is enough to make Wu's father and Wu's mother change their views on Zhang Qiling.

What was unexpected was that Wu Xie's grandma loved Zhang Qiling so much that even Wu Xie was jealous when she saw it, and said, "Grandma, I haven't been home for a long time, don't you miss me?"

Grandma Wu is a very interesting old lady, she said: "It's too late for me to dislike you, why are you not half as sensible as Qiling?"

Hey, after such a short period of time, I was called up to the spirit.

In the following time, they went home to visit from time to time, and the relationship finally became more and more relaxed, especially after knowing that Zhang Qiling was an orphan, the Wu family felt a lot of pity for the child.Until Wu Yiqiong finally spoke at the dinner table, and said calmly: "Don't call me uncle and aunt from now on, listen to the outsiders, if you recognize us, just call me parents, and we will be half of the Wu family from now on."

Zhang Qiling was stunned, and it wasn't until Wu Xiehong pulled the hem of his clothes with red eyes that he realized that they were finally accepted by the family.

Mama Wu has always been soft-hearted, she has long regarded Zhang Qiling as her own son, and said happily: "Qi Ling, our little Xie, I will entrust you to take care of him from now on."

He squeezed Wu Xie's hand tightly under the dining table, and a warm current surged in his heart.

This person, after all, gave him a home.

Wu Ma said a lot about Wu Xie at the dinner table, "Xiao Xie, he has been thinking a lot since he was a child, and he has his own thoughts at a young age, but he always doesn't tell the adults. I remember one time, their school My teacher told me that Xiaoxie is good everywhere, but she is always unhappy and doesn’t look like a child at all.”

Wu Xie was on the side, as if listening to someone else's story, and asked curiously: "Mom, when did you talk about this?"

Mama Wu said: "I remember that time your test scores were particularly good, it seems that you got No.1 in the class."

Wu Xie suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So that's what happened. I thought I was sued by the teacher for my poor performance at school. It scared me for several days."

Zhang Qiling listened to Wu Xie's childhood with a smile. Sometimes he found it funny, and sometimes he felt distressed. This was Wu Xie's life that he had never participated in.But from now on in my life, he will be there.

Zhang Qiling first went to the apartment to settle down, packed his luggage, and then went to the company in the afternoon. When he arrived at the company, he learned that there was a cooperation project with a university today and he needed to send someone to communicate. He was stunned when he heard the name of the university. It is the school where Wu Xie studied abroad.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, he took the job without even thinking about it.

After another half day on the plane, when he was about to take out the book Wu Xie had given him, he suddenly realized that he had only brought a few changes of clothes with him on this business trip in a hurry, but left the book in the apartment instead.

He had a boring journey this way, in fact, he didn't really want to admit that he missed Wu Xie, his phone was turned off all the way, and he didn't even call to report his safety.

It was already night after landing, he estimated the time in China, and called Wu Xie.

Wu Xie picked it up: "Are you here? Have you just arrived?"

"No," he replied, "I went on a business trip in another city and just got off the plane."

"It's been hard work." Wu Xie really said distressedly: "It's night over there, so get some rest."

Zhang Qiling was very pleased with what he heard, he hailed a taxi, got in and continued talking to Wu Xie: "I'm fine, I'll be at the hotel soon, what are you doing?"

"Just finished class." Wu Xie could vaguely hear the students making noise, and he seemed to have walked to a quiet place to talk: "You should pay more attention to rest, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so you need to add clothes in time."

They chatted intermittently for a while, talking about everyday things, Zhang Qiling agreed to each of them, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Do you miss me?"

Wu Xie didn't seem to hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Zhang Qiling's taxi arrived at the hotel, and he was busy paying, so he said, "It's nothing."

Wu Xie was silent for a while: "Of course I thought about it, no one is cooking tonight."

Zhang Qiling couldn't help laughing, and handed the money to the driver. The driver looked at Zhang Qiling curiously, and asked, "Your wife?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head, he leaned closer to the microphone, and said leisurely: "My husband."

Wu Xie also smiled on the other side of the phone, "Mr. Zhang Qiling, you really dare to say anything."

"You don't admit it?"

"Do you really want to marry me?" Wu Xie joked.

But Zhang Qiling suddenly softened his tone. He stood by the side of the road. It was very quiet at night, and only pedestrians passed by occasionally. He imagined Wu Xie's appearance, and said slowly: "It may sound a bit cliche, but if you want, I You can wait here for you, or you want to go to other places to get married, it doesn't matter."

Wu Xie was at a loss for words for a while, although the voice on the phone was distorted, but his attitude was not fake, he could tell that Zhang Qiling was indeed serious.

"This is too...too sudden." It took him a long time to say: "Didn't you always care about these things?"

"I also thought of it suddenly." Zhang Qiling smiled, and suddenly heard Wu Xie's ringtone, "Don't worry, go back to class."

Wu Xie put down his phone in a daze. In fact, he didn't have a class this time, but he thought about Zhang Qiling's attitude, and found it interesting.

What's going on, did he find out?
