innocent year

2010 Vernal Equinox

MGTO went to Las Vegas to hold the "Macau Week" promotional activities, aiming to promote the rich and colorful customs of Macau, the unique combination of Chinese and Western cultures, and to further develop the tourist source market in North America.

The specific date and itinerary must be good, Qiu Shi thought that he would spend a few more days after flying so far, so he asked his boss for annual leave.Ji Ji and Xu Minghai drove around the Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend after the meeting.

Since it is a business trip at public expense, it is natural to travel in economy class.But Boss Xu couldn't bear to let Qiu Shi stay in the economy class for so long with his long legs nestled.On his own initiative, he upgraded the cabins of both of them to first class on the grounds that he was a disabled person.

When I was in Che, my colleagues protested against the boss's unscrupulous behavior of abusing dogs and showing off his wealth.

"Where is the promised wind and rain to help each other?!"

"Boss, don't bring such exciting things!"

"Woooooh, Boss Xu treats Boss like Daomingsi treats Shancai."

Qiu Shi: "..."

Xu Minghai confidently led people through the VIP passage: "We are getting older, and we can't compare to you guys born in the 80s. Do you understand respecting the elderly?"

And everyone can only watch the two leave sweetly with bitterness.

Xu Minghai, who relies on the old to sell the old, used to wait for people at the school gate, but now he waits for people outside the office building.And because many of Jessica, Vivienne, Simon, and Sean in the office building live in Tong County, Xu Minghai was always knocked on the glass by countless people and asked, "Master, are you leaving?"

Over time, colleagues can always see the boss being picked up by a white Wrangler.In addition, Qiu Shi didn't hide it deliberately, and everyone knew that he had a same-sex lover.

But my colleagues didn't find it strange.Later, there were group activities such as outing, and he also actively yelled that the boss should also bring his family.After coming and going, Xu Minghai became one with everyone.

And this trip to the United States, everyone has a better understanding of the "just a man who messes up his clothes" in the mouth of the boss.Who would have thought that Boss Xu is not only handsome but also rich?I really envy others, and I have no place to reason.

On the second day after landing, everyone used it to beat the jet lag.On the third day, the activities of "Macau Week" officially started.The tourism bureau has carried out a series of publicity and promotion in popular areas such as the Venetian, Wynn and MGM respectively.

On this trip, Qiushi was far more than the only one with his family.Colleagues found that other people's husbands and wives have already seized all the time to go shopping in outlets.But Boss Xu is different, wherever Qiu is, he is there.They don't bother the other half's work, just watch quietly, occasionally come to ask if you are hungry or sleepy, and ask everyone if they want to drink coffee to refresh themselves.

As a result, colleagues from all over the world followed suit, feeling more and more rare about this pair.

In the next few days, as soon as Xu Minghai came over, his colleagues covered their cheeks and collectively let out a "呵呵" sound that was so sweet that their teeth ached.Qiu Shi couldn't hold back his face, so he sent Xu Minghai to go shopping.

A week later, the promotion activity ended smoothly, and the director was very satisfied with everyone's performance.At the farewell dinner, he raised his glass and delivered a speech, to the effect that before the reunification, the total GDP of Macau was only 490 billion patacas.And last year, it has jumped to more than 1300 billion patacas. In 2012, it is expected to exceed 2000 billion patacas.

"I am honored to be able to contribute to the development of Macau together with you." After he finished speaking, he added, "I know that many people have applied for vacations and plan to spend their vacations locally or fly to other states. , then wish everyone a happy holiday in advance.”

All the members clinked glasses with each other, Xu Minghai drank the wine in the glass, then leaned into Qiushi's ear and said, "I am honored to be able to contribute to my wife's development."

"What did you do?" Qiushi teased him, "Why didn't I see it?"

Xu Minghai's expression was struck by lightning, ready to flex his muscles at night.

Things at work are officially over, and the rest of the time is entirely yours.After returning to Wynn's guest room, Qiu Shi completely relaxed. He took out a deck of playing cards and shook them at Xu Minghai: "Gamble."

Xu Minghai had an intuition of fraud, and shook his head violently with the expression of a chaste woman.But the other party couldn't hold back what he said in a hoarse voice, causing Xu Minghai's blood vessels to burst.

"Bet bet! I must win!"

Qiu Shi then pulled out the big and small kings and began to shuffle the cards.

"Bckjack, also known as blackjack. I'm the banker, you're the player. Simply put, it's a comparison between the two of us. JQK counts as 21, and A counts as 10 or 1. If the sum is greater than the opponent, it's a win, and if it exceeds 11, it's a blowout. "

It was about sexual life, Xu Minghai listened very seriously.As soon as Teacher Qiu finished his lecture, Xu Minghai couldn't wait to ask for the cards to be dealt quickly.

In the first hand, Xu Minghai didn't have enough points, so Zhuang won.

In the second hand, Xu Minghai got a hard card of 17 points and went straight to bust, and the dealer won.

In the third hand, Xu Minghai secretly changed the cards and was caught on the spot. He was counted as cheating and was immediately disqualified.

Xu Minghai regretted it: "I was fooled by lard for a while, give me another chance, Qiu Sir."

"There's no chance," Qiushi put away the cards, stood up with a smile, and then slowly unfastened the cufflinks and tie, "Xu Minghai, if you're a man, you're willing to gamble and lose. Hurry up and lie down in the bathtub."

"Ah! Why does my tailbone hurt..." Xu Minghai bared his teeth.

It's a pity that Boss Xu's proficient acting skills did not soften the opponent's heart, but he was directly violently thrown into the bathtub.As soon as the shower was turned on, the two shadows became entangled, and it gradually became a matter of course.

Mornings in Las Vegas are much quieter than nights.Xu Minghai was still in bed, and Qiu Shi had already gone to the Hertz counter of the hotel to pick up the car.

The first stop of the self-driving tour is the Hoover Dam, which takes about 50 minutes to drive.The two had breakfast, checked out of the room, and arrived at the underground garage with their luggage.After finding the Chevrolet SUV, Xu Minghai stopped Qiu Shi and sat directly in the driver's seat.

"The tailbone doesn't hurt anymore?" Qiushi asked with a smile.

"It hurts! But brother, I can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries." Xu Minghai started the car, "This big day can't let the American people laugh at it."

After leaving the hotel, Qiushi looked at the phone to guide Xu Minghai.Unexpectedly, the driver did not listen at all, and transferred from Wynn? Blvd to W? Resorts? World? Dr.?

"No," Qiu Shi corrected, "We have to go east."

"Yes." Xu Minghai looked confident, "Listen to me."

After driving for 10 minutes, the car arrived at E?Crk?Ave.?Xu Minghai found a place to park the car, and pulled Qiushi across the road to a very inconspicuous white door.As soon as they entered the door, an old beauty came over to say hello warmly.

Xu Minghai stumbled and spoke in poor English for a long time, but Lao Mei and Qiu Shi only understood one word: "Marriage".Afterwards, Lao Mei apologized to the two of them for a while.

Standing in this small space, Qiu Shi finally understood Xu Minghai's intentions.He only felt the dry and coarse gravel blown into his throat and nasal cavity at the desert border of Las Vegas, making him choked for a moment.It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets, but I am more moved in my heart.

After a while, Qiushi came back to his senses.He thanked Lao Mei, and then pulled out the persevering Xu Minghai.

"People don't register people of the same sex."

"Ah?!" Xu Minghai was dumbfounded, "Isn't this America?"

"Who told you that the United States can issue certificates to us?"

It is true that no one has said it, but Xu Minghai has always subconsciously felt that the United States is very open.Look, isn't Obama already president?At this moment, he suddenly found that the light from the lighthouse couldn't shine on him at all, and immediately sank down.

"Fuck, the US emperor is too unreliable! Why?"

Qiushi looked at the dejected Xu Minghai and his heart ached.He hugged him and asked in a low voice, "Why did you remember this?"

"You sent me to go shopping that day, and I wandered to Cartier when I had nothing to do." Xu Minghai said lazily, "A Chinese clerk there spoke Cantonese and asked me if the ring was going to be registered in Las Vegas. I only found out after inquiring about it. It turns out that getting married here requires nothing but a passport and more than 70 dollars, which is very convenient.”

"In the end, I got so excited that I completely forgot to ask the two men if it's okay. Guozi, I made you run with me for nothing..." Xu Minghai put his hand on the back of the other's neck and squeezed, "I'm sorry, bro. you."

The oppressive atmosphere lasted for a while, and Qiu Shi suddenly asked, "What about the ring?"

Xu Minghai was taken aback.

"It's so lively, didn't you buy it?"

"That's impossible!" Xu Minghai immediately took out Cartier's classic octagonal box from his pocket, "I secretly measured the size while you were sleeping, but it's a pity that I didn't have time to engrave it."

Qiu Shi opened it and saw that there were two elegant platinum rings inside, shining brightly under the hot Nevada sun.

"Hand out."

With one command and one movement, Xu Minghai raised his hands nervously.

"The left hand..." Qiu Shi couldn't help laughing.

Xu Minghai quickly changed hands.

"Brother, we don't need that certificate. It's the best proof that we can be together at this moment." Qiu Shi said as he picked up the slightly larger ring and gently wrapped it around Xu Minghai's ring finger.

Xu Minghai's fingers were cold for a while, and then he saw a shining circle on his hand where the teeth marks were pierced.His nose suddenly became sore, but his mood brightened.Obama!did you see it?The fruit is put on!Grandpa, I don't care about your piece of paper anymore!

Qiu Shi handed the other ring to Xu Minghai: "Brother, there is still time to regret it."

"Regret is a dog." Xu Minghai grabbed the opponent's hand and put the ring on the person in a very unskilled posture.

The two people who couldn't get Marriage? Lise because of their gender finally completed their ceremony in front of the Crk?ty marriage registration office.

As soon as the major events were completed, the self-driving tour officially kicked off.

Xu Minghai galloped on the 515S highway at a driving speed that could not be achieved in Beijing.They first arrived at the Hoover Dam. Like tourists all over the world, they went sightseeing, took pictures and listened to explanations, and then continued eastward.

The two drove alternately along the way, and arrived at the Grand Canyon of Colorado with "scars on the earth" before evening.

Because it is not the peak season, Qiushi booked Yavapai? Lodge, which is located in an excellent location. It is in the scenic area, surrounded by lush bushes, and occasionally long-horned deer can be seen strolling leisurely.

After the Che, the two threw their luggage into the room, and rushed to Hopi Point to watch the sunset before they had time to rest their stomachs.

The Grand Canyon, which has been eroded for millions of years, looks magnificent and vigorous in front of tourists.With the strength of the sun's rays, the rock formations are unpredictable, colorful and blurred, gradually changing from the deep orange red of the whole body to the twilight blue color.

Xu Minghai searched his stomach for a long time, and finally came out with a sentence: "Fuck, I'm so angry!" After he finished speaking, he felt the eyes of the people around him with deep smiles, and asked guiltily, "Hey Guozi, am I special? culture?"

Qiu Shi praised in a different way: "You can still use four-character idioms anyway, and the Americans around you are not as good as you."

Xu Minghai was very proud, and felt elated.

After watching the sunset, the two looked for a place to fill their stomachs with hamburgers and fries.After returning to the room, where did Xu Minghai fall and was about to get up, he asked, "Guozi, do you still gamble?"

Qiu Shi smiled connotatively: "Having driven for such a long time, are you okay?"

"Bridal wedding candles, a moment of gold, can't do it." Boss Xu is addicted to idioms.He shook the ring on his hand, and added, "But if you lose, you can't play tricks, and you have to fulfill what you said last night."

Qiu Shi took out his poker: "You are welcome."

This time, it was still 21 o'clock.

Qiu Shizhuang and Xu Minghai are idle, agreeing to win three out of five games.

In the first hand, Xu Minghai didn't have enough points, so Zhuang won.

In the second hand, Zhuang and Xian have the same points, so it is a draw.

In the third hand, Xu Minghai had higher points than the dealer, so he won.

In the fourth hand, the player's hand is 12, and the banker's hand is 7.Xu Minghai chose to continue to take the cards, did not blow up, idle win

"It's the last bet," said Xu Minghai, who clearly had the upper hand, "Guozi, you have to be willing to admit defeat."

Unexpectedly, it was the last card. Xu Minghai was so lucky that he got A and 10 in the initial card, winning without a fight.Such a situation was completely unexpected by Qiushi.He thought for a while, and asked, "Have you contacted Brother Jiahui?"

"Cough, cough, cough," Xu Minghai had to confess, "I called him in the morning when you were going out, got scolded for a while, and gained some card counting skills."

What Hua Jiahui taught Xu Minghai was the most basic method of high and low numbers in blackjack.Record 21~2 as 6, 1~7 as 9, T and A as -0, and quickly remember the changes of the game through addition and subtraction.As for Xu Minghai, a businessman, he is very sensitive to numbers, and he is smart, so he knows everything.

"You can't count me as cheating this time, can you?" Xu Minghai was triumphant, resting his chin on Qiu Shi's shoulder, "It's a deal, but don't renege on it."

"It's not bad," Qiushi said with a low eyebrow, "then you go find Bing."

Xu Minghai was taken aback: "Where can I find it?"

"How do I know?" Qiu Shi was non-violent and non-cooperative, and he cheered the other party up with a smile, "Boss Xu, the bridal chamber flowers and candles, a moment's worth of money, all depend on you."

Xu Minghai gritted his teeth and stood up from the bed: "I'll go to the front desk and ask!"

Five minutes later, Xu Minghai returned to the room with two extra bottles of local lemon tea in his hand.

"I said ice, and they just gave me this and made me sign the rent." Xu Minghai hugged his wife and cried, "They Americans are really bad!"

Qiushi laughed for a while, then picked up the phone and asked the front desk for an electric kettle, then got up and went out, and returned within a minute with a bucket of ice.

"So fast?!" Xu Minghai was shocked.

"Fool, the ice machine is at the end of the corridor, every hotel has it, and it's all for the guests to take."

After a while, the kettle was also delivered.After paying the tip and thanking the staff, Qiushi brought the water to boil, then sat on the edge of the bed and gently kissed his groom.

The room was extremely quiet, until white smoke spewed out from the spout, and the ice began to melt slightly.

Xu Minghai knew that his bridal chamber festive night had already arrived.
