Collapse

They are on their way to Las Vegas.

Luo Xuan fiddled with the camera, shooting the scenery along the way aimlessly.Half-yellow and half-green short grass and solitary trees, the bare land is covered with brown-yellow sand, the sky is bright blue, with huge cotton-like clouds floating, the wind whistling across the endless desert plain, only Their car.He suddenly pointed the camera at Jiang Mingyun who was driving, and said coquettishly, "Honey, say something."

Jiang Mingyun turned his head and glanced at him with a smile, "Today is the ninth day of our elopement, in Colorado, and we are expected to arrive in Silverton tonight."

"It's like running away." Luo Xuan added excitedly.

"Yes, it's like running away."

Luo Xuan finished recording and played back the video to check the shooting effect.He flipped through the videos he had taken in the past, found the record of Jiang Mingyun's birthday last year, and started playing it.

The candles were blown out, and the two sat at the table.

"What wish did you make?"

Jiang Mingyun didn't tell him, just said: "Guess."

Just as he was about to tell the result of his guess, Jiang Mingyun suddenly leaned over and blocked his words with his lips.The lips parted slightly, and the breath he exhaled fell on his lips when he spoke, "Shhh, if you say your wish, it won't come true...my wish is related to you."

The captivating voice fell lightly, and the kiss deepened. It was like a process of exchanging souls, his body being manipulated by the person he loved.

Jiang Mingyun carried him to the table, Luo Xuan protested, "I haven't eaten the cake yet!"

"What's so delicious about the cake?" Jiang Mingyun wrapped his arms around his waist, pinched the back of his neck, and began to kiss his collarbone.

"But, I did it myself."

Jiang Mingyun raised his head, "Then feed me."

Luo Xuan jumped off the dining table, took a knife and cut the cake.He held a piece of cake on a small plate, and fed it to Jiang Mingyun with a fork in the other hand.However, Jiang Mingyun ignored his fork, and directly ate the cake from the plate in his hand.

In such a posture, Jiang Mingyun's back neck was exposed in front of his eyes.The back of the neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of a person, and a slight impact may cause respiratory and cardiac arrest.The back of the neck is exposed in front of people at close range and undefended. The behavior itself reveals wordless trust, but from a deeper level of animal nature, the drooping back of the neck is a sign of weakness and submission.This sense of conquest makes people restless.

Luo Xuan raised his hand, and the cream got on Jiang Mingyun's face.He picked up the plate and laughed. He was not happy for a few seconds, Jiang Mingyun quickly fought back, took a big piece of cake and insisted on feeding him, Luo Xuan was not fooled.

The two kissed while arguing, Jiang Mingyun took off his shirt and crossed his legs.As time passed, the atmosphere continued to heat up. At the critical moment when everything was about to be exposed, Luo Xuan suddenly let out a cry.

Jiang Mingyun didn't know why, so he froze on the spot.

"I'm still recording the video! I forgot." Luo Xuan shyly covered his face with his hands.

Jiang Mingyun looked around and found the location of the camera, walked over and turned off the machine.

Outside the car window, Silverton rises from the wilderness. This small town is a relatively famous tourist attraction. It retains many Victorian-style historical buildings, with gorgeous and bright colors, soaring roofs and unique shapes.

"Lo, how many more days shall we stay in this town?"

Luo Xuan shook his head, "No, I want to go to Las Vegas early."

He had heard the name of Las Vegas' wedding sanctuary, and he knew that the wedding process could be completed in half a day there.

In fact, after walking for so many days, they should have arrived at their destination long ago, but Jiang Mingyun has been leading him around a long way, and he is not sure that he wants to marry him.

Marriage is not only about love, but also about interests.They have already eloped, if Luo Xuan was an ordinary person, Jiang Mingyun would not be entangled in getting married.The problem was that Luo Xuan's net worth was too rich. If he got married without a prenuptial agreement, Jiang Mingyun could get a huge sum of money beyond imagination.

Jiang Mingyun was unwilling to take advantage of Luo Xuan.

He previously proposed that in order to get married, an agreement must be signed first.Luo Xuan thought for a while, and realized that not signing a prenuptial agreement is a good way to control Deng Luoyi.As long as there is a divorce, the property must be divided, so Deng Luoyi dare not divorce, and they cannot be separated.

Jiang Mingyun couldn't reach a consensus with Luo Xuan, so he could only procrastinate secretly.

"It's tiring to drive every day, Luo." He handed the car keys to the hotel valet.

Luo Xuan hugged the cat and walked beside him, "I have a driver's license, so I can drive for you."

"I reasonably suspect that you only have a driver's license and don't know how to drive." Jiang Mingyun took Luo Xuan's hand, because Luo Xuan would still be nervous and anxious in crowded places, "Roy's driving skills are not good either, he is raw."

"You can teach me, I learn things very quickly."

Jiang Mingyun checked in, and said in the elevator: "It takes time to teach you how to drive, and we don't want to stay in town for a few more days."

After all, the two stayed in Silverton for many days. Jiang Mingyun found an open space and taught him how to drive. He didn't plan to teach him, it was just a fun experience.

In the country bar at night, there is soothing music in your ears, and an elderly couple at the next table are chatting.

Luo Xuan stared at the ring on his ring finger, and said to Jiang Mingyun, "Mingyun, let's leave tomorrow."

"You don't like it here?" Jiang Mingyun put down his glass.

Luo Xuan was depressed, pouted his mouth and said nothing.Night Chang has many dreams, his desire to get married as soon as possible is clearly written on his face, Jiang Mingyun should be able to understand it easily.

"Luo, whether we get married or not doesn't actually affect us."

"Why don't you use this to convince yourself? Since it has no influence, why don't you want to marry me?"

Jiang Mingyun fooled him by treating him like a child, he is not stupid, can't he still know how to read his words?He didn't want to be like a bitter woman, persecuting Jiang Mingyun all the time, but every day he didn't hold Jiang Mingyun in his hands, he couldn't have peace.

Jiang Mingyun lowered his eyes, rubbed his fingertips on the rim of the cup, and said with a smile, "Luo, you are cheating yourself."

"I voluntarily, and I will never regret it." Luo Xuan leaned on Jiang Mingyun's shoulder, his lips slowly approaching his ear, "Don't you like me?"

The next day, they set off on their journey again.Luo Xuan was eager to take control of the steering wheel, his skills were at best able to drive on a straight road, and he could shake his head and tail when turning a corner.Jiang Mingyun drove him to the co-pilot, but he was still not happy, feeling that Jiang Mingyun underestimated him.

Luo Xuan squeezed potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, eating to pass the boring time.When passing by the gas station, there was a fast food restaurant next to the gas station. He asked Jiang Mingyun to buy him a large bag of fries, hamburgers and other fried foods. Deng Luoyi would definitely not eat the food from the fast food restaurant. , Luo Xuan did not pick.

After filling his stomach, he took out a wet towel to wipe his hands, leaned over to the back seat, picked up the cat, put it in his arms and began to pet the cat.During this period, he chatted wildly with Jiang Mingyun, saying that after getting married, he would go back to China to pay homage to his birth mother, and then talked about "The Great Gatsby" he watched yesterday.

The vibrating buzz of the phone interrupted the conversation between the two. Jiang Mingyun was driving the car and motioned for Luo Xuan to pick up the phone.

"Who is calling?" Jiang Mingyun asked.

Luo Xuan became visibly nervous when he saw the caller displayed on his phone, and said slowly, "Your mother."

Jiang Mingyun put on the bluetooth headset and took the phone away from Luo Xuan.

"Mom, I can't go back now." Jiang Mingyun's brows were tense, slightly irritable.

He is the only son in his family. His father is Chinese and his mother is American. Both parents are university professors. The apartment near Haicheng University is the residence of his parents before going abroad.From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Mingyun seemed to be on the go all the way, going smoothly, and never worried his parents.Unexpectedly, when he was about to be born, he suddenly went off track, quit his job, and the university where he worked could not contact him as a professor. When Ms. Diana Deng called, they knew that their son had run away with someone.

Luo Xuan couldn't hear what Jiang Mingyun's mother said, so he could only guess the general meaning from Jiang Mingyun's reply and expression.

Mother Jiang wanted her son to come home.

Jiang Mingyun stopped the car, opened the car door and went outside to talk on the phone. Luo Xuan took the opportunity to occupy the driving seat. When Jiang Mingyun turned around and came back, Luo Xuan was already waving at him through the car glass.

Earlier, Jiang Mingyun carried him out of the driver's seat and stuffed him into the co-pilot.This time, Luo Xuan learned to be smart. He locked the car door. If Jiang Mingyun didn't obediently choose to sit in the passenger seat, he wouldn't let him get in the car.

Jiang Mingyun saw that there were not many cars on the road, so he didn't confront him.But Luo Xuan drove slowly, which directly caused them to fail to arrive at the reserved hotel before the sun went down, and they were embarrassed to miss the hotel.It happened that they passed a campsite where many tents were pitched. The campers lit a bonfire, and the light of the fire illuminated half of the night sky.

Luo Xuan suggested that they could rent a tent to spend the night here.

"I've never slept in the wild before," he said.

Naturally, the outdoors can't compare to the soft bed in the hotel, the temperature is low at night, after Luo Xuan fell asleep, he unconsciously moved closer to the heat source, like a calf pushing him.Jiang Mingyun didn't sleep well, and woke up before dawn. He got out of the tent, and the sun was rising from the dark backs of the distant mountains.

The burning orange smudges, and the sky and the earth are a huge canvas. The light passes through the forest, drawing obliquely long tree shadows.

Luo Xuan appeared beside him in a coat, yawned a little, and said, "It's the sunrise."

The memory is hit all at once.

"It's sunrise."

Standing on the top floor of the Twin Towers, holding a cup of steaming coffee, he turned his head and said to Jiang Mingyun.

The rising sun that day was equally brilliant, drawing a golden outline on the human body.

There were no guests, and the priest was the only witness, at a Las Vegas church that accepts same-sex weddings.

The normal oath is - I will be true to you and love you until death do us part.

What Luo Xuan said was: I will be loyal to you and love you, if we separate, it will bring death.

It sounds like a vicious curse!

The pastor looked at Luo Xuan who had said the wrong thing in some surprise, and saw that there was no embarrassment on his face, he said this on purpose.

Jiang Mingyun raised Luo Xuan's left hand, and put the ring on his ring finger calmly and solemnly.This silver ring will serve as a proof of oath, an oath about love and death.

"Mingyun, don't leave me." He said again.
