Ai Xing walked quickly, Ning He chased him to the side door, he had already entered the garage with the key.

Ning He didn't call him at first because of the crowd.When the Toyota off-road vehicle passed by Ning He, he was in a hurry and didn't care much. He chased the car that had just started, and slapped the window to signal Ai Xing to stop.

Ai Xing was afraid that he would be injured, so he had to brake to let him get in the car.

Ning He sat in the passenger seat and tried to persuade gently, "You should leave as soon as they announce their engagement, and all the previous dramas will be in vain."

Ai Xing lowered his eyes and sneered, "I want to be a good son to him, but what will he give me in return? Announcing his engagement in front of me, he didn't even say hello beforehand. Am I just a sculpture without emotion? ? Only worthy of being displayed in the living room as capital to show off?"

After finishing speaking, Ning He suddenly turned sideways. Not knowing what he was going to do, Ning He subconsciously leaned back in the chair.But Ai Xing just pulled out the safety belt beside him and buckled it up, then quickly put it in gear and drove out.

The turmoil in the mansion or the peacefulness of singing and dancing, all of a sudden went away from them.The window on Ai Xing's side was lowered very low, and the night wind rushed in, making the sound of wind blowing inside and outside the car, making people's eardrums roar.

Ning He didn't speak any more, leaning his elbows on the edge of the window, he sat silently by the side.Aixing drove around the community lane, and finally drove onto Harrington Avenue, which runs through the city.

After a few minutes, Ning He said, "Ai Xing, please raise the window a little, I'm afraid you will catch cold."

Ai Xing didn't respond, and after a while, he closed the window obediently, and drove about two more intersections, and the speed of the car gradually slowed down to less than 60 mph.

Seeing that he didn't look irritable just now, Ning He tentatively said, "I just drank some wine and got a little dizzy in the car. Why don't you drive back first, and we'll find a place to sit on the way."

Ai Xing heard that he was not feeling well, and immediately responded, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and touching his forehead with the other.Ning He's body temperature was originally on the high side, but at this moment it felt a little hot to the touch.Ai Xing remembered that he drank several rounds at the party, and couldn't help but feel angry, so he couldn't speak so nicely, "Don't just accept the wine because it's a girl, you don't know how much you can drink ?"

Ning He knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't confront him directly, but said, "Don't dare next time."

He propped his head up and looked at Ai Xing with a bit of connivance and helplessness, and his tone showed a rare obedience, which finally caused Ai Xing to frown and smile.The off-road vehicle turned into the ramp, returned to the small road, and when passing a community park, Ai Xing slowed down and asked Ning He, "Do you want to take a break?"

Ning He agreed.Ai Xing parked the car by the side of the street.

The surrounding streets were deserted, and the street lights were all on, reflecting the mansions on both sides of the road and the faint figures inside.

Ai Xing took off his suit jacket and wanted to give it to Ning He, but Ning He refused, Ai Xing said, "Then I can only hug you to keep you warm?"

Ning He didn't want to provoke a rascal like him, so he took the clothes and draped them over his shoulders.

They walked into a small park surrounded by wooden fences one after the other. There were crooked castles piled up in the sandpit, as well as toys and bicycles left by children nearby; It was full of childish chalk drawings. Ning He accidentally glanced at it when he passed by. There was a big rainbow painted on it, and a sentence was written next to it, "Witheverystrom, comes a rainbow." (After every storm, there is a rainbow.)

Ning He read it softly.Although Ai Xing didn't speak, he raised his hand and rubbed his head.

Finally, Ning He walked to the swings, and randomly chose one to sit on.Ai Xing didn't sit down, squatted in front of him, and asked him, "What else is uncomfortable?"

Ning He shook his head, using his feet on the ground to drive the swing to shake gently.

Ai Xing just squatted like that, looking at him all the time.

Both of them have a lot to say, but they don't know where to start.

In the end, it was Ning He who broke the deadlock, "My mother told me that they were going to announce their engagement at a party at noon today. I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking you should have known. I should have told you first."

Ai Xing seemed to have regained his composure, and he said, "It has nothing to do with you, don't grab yourself."

Ning He felt a pain in his heart, he lowered his body, put his elbows on his legs, and brought himself closer to Ai Xing, "Ai Xing, sometimes I find it hard to believe that you are only 17 years old, you have done too much in many things. Well, it will make people forget your actual age. Maybe Uncle Ai has the same trouble, he doesn’t know whether he should treat you as a child or an independent adult, so he has communication problems with you.”

Ai Xing looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you praising me? Or are you speaking for my dad?"

Ning He was silent for a while, and then asked a little suddenly, "The relationship between your parents is very good, right?"

Ai Xing froze for a moment, and then said "hmm".

Ning He asked again, "What happened later? What happened later?"

Ai Xing stood up slowly and sat on the swing beside Ning He.He had already taken off his suit jacket to Ning He, and he was only wearing a shirt at this time. The profile of his side face looked handsome and sharp in the gloom of night, he was the kind of sharp-edged boy who would be hard to forget at a glance.

He said, "When my mother was alive, their husband and wife had a very deep relationship. It always made me feel that as long as two people fall in love, they will recognize each other and cannot be replaced by anyone at will. My mother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away very quickly. Short In just one year, the person was gone. My dad was also hit hard at the time, but he fell in love with someone else very quickly."

The opposite of love may not be not loving or forgetting, but betrayal.It is two people who once loved each other, one is buried in the ground, and the other is already promising a new love.

Ai Xing was once a junior who was given high hopes by the whole family, and was trained strictly. He is wise, insightful, and shoulders too much, so he especially needs stable emotional support.His mother's death was the most intractable injury in his world, but his father's ruthlessness afterwards turned the injury into a serious illness.

But he got to the point.A child who grows up in a good family background does not have the habit of talking about his parents behind his back.

Ning He didn't ask any more questions, all he could do at the moment was to sit with Ai Xing in the quiet and deserted park, slowly swinging on the swing.

After a while, he whispered, "Ai Xing, even if they failed you. I won't."

Ai Xing seemed to freeze for a second, then turned to look at Ning He.

There seemed to be stars hidden in Ning He's eyes, shining brokenly in the dark night.Probably because of drinking and blowing the wind, his voice was a bit lazy, "Want to listen to music? There is a piano over there." As he spoke, he pointed to an unlit place in front of the park. corner.

I don't know who's unwanted second-hand piano was placed there.The body is spray-painted with graffiti, blending in with the mottled trees around it.Ai Xing said "Okay" and walked slowly along with Ning He.

Ning He lifted the lid of the piano, played a few notes casually, and said with a frown, "It's half a degree lower, let's just listen."

This piano didn't have a piano bench, so Ning He could only stand up and sing.

At first, a few steady chords sounded in the bass area, and then the chords were split into flowing accompaniment patterns. The right-hand melody entered after two eight beats, and Ning He's beautiful voice followed.

Aixing looked at him among the flickering tree shadows.Ning He lowered his head slightly, the broken hair on his forehead fell down, his eyes were covered, only his clear and clean voice, mixed with a trace of laziness after drinking, gradually entered the cool night.

——Like the wind in the forest, it blows your heart.

Like a long night's dream, embracing each other in intoxication.

Like the lights of the city, intertwined with neon lights.

Like a flowing river, blending into the starry sky.

I have imagined your gaze, there is a glimpse of the haste of thousands of years.

I've imagined your kisses, touches you can't help.

Have you ever imagined me?Imagine me standing like this in the wind,

The wind can't stop, but I am willing to do it for you again and again until I understand you...

When Ning He sang "The flowing river merges into the starry sky", Ai Xing's expression changed, as if he still couldn't believe that this was a song Ning He wrote for him.

Some passages in the middle may not be completed, and Ning He hums instead.The chorus repeats "I'm willing to do it for you again and again until I understand you", he looked up at Ai Xing while singing, the accompaniment slowed down, and finally disappeared into a gentle croon.

"I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday. I haven't finished writing it, and I haven't entered the studio for recording. I sang it in advance today."

Ning He flicked a hand of ashes, but after singing, he felt a little embarrassed, and explained to Ai Xing with a smile.

Ai Xing took his hand and rubbed it directly on his shirt, Ning He struggled a little, Ai Xing squeezed him tightly, and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

Ning He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking for the title of the song, so he said, "River of Star, Galaxy."

Ai Xing looked down at him and said, "I like it very much, both the song and the people." Then, he moved closer to kiss Ning He.

Ning He did not refuse, and took the initiative to meet him.They kiss in the corner of a deserted park.The wind in the early spring night - just like the song sang, it blows through the forest to make the heart beat.

About four to ten minutes after Ai Xing left the party, he returned to the villa with Ning He.

Apparently everyone present noticed their disappearance, Ai Chengjin walked up with Shao Yin, and asked Ai Xing, where did he go?

Ning He stood aside and said, "I may have a headache from drinking too much. Ai Xing saw that I was not feeling well, so he took me to a nearby pharmacy to buy some medicine."

As he spoke, he raised a bag with the logo of a chain pharmacy in his hand, which really contained a bottle of mineral water and a box of opened Tylenol capsules.

This reason is very legitimate, coupled with the medical evidence, people can not find loopholes.Shao Yin couldn't hide her worry and asked Ning He, "How do you feel now?" Ning He answered her with a smile, "It's nothing, I thought to bear it and let it go, but Ai Xing found out."

Ai Chengjin's expression softened immediately, and he looked at Ning He with some approval.

Ning He did this matter cleanly and appropriately, and the guests who were not far away could probably hear his explanation clearly.In this way, it not only resolved the potential family conflicts caused by Ai Chengjin's announcement of engagement, but also dispelled everyone's suspicions about the brotherhood.

Ai Xing stuck his hands in his trouser pockets and remained silent.Ai Chengjin didn't know if he was a little guilty, so he didn't question him again, but instead asked Ning He a few words of concern.Ning He had a calm expression and thoughtful manners when dealing with him. When Ai Chengjin took Shao Yin away, he couldn't help but say to her, "Your Ning He is a good boy, and he does things properly."

He didn't go too far when he said this, and Ning He and Ai Xing heard him.

Ai Xing lowered his head slightly, and leaned into Ning He's ear, his expression was indifferent, but his tone was joking, "Brother, you are so good at buying people's hearts, it's too inferior to be a lead singer."

Ning He glanced at him, but did not respond to his words.

There are countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark, not only wanting to see their confrontation, but also looking for their flaws.Ai Xing is still his smart and playful young master, while Ning He is still an elusive social newcomer.There was still a lingering breath on their respective lips after a deep kiss, but when they returned to this brightly lit mansion, they quickly turned back to brothers with an intriguing relationship.

Later, Ning He walked to the terrace alone to breathe, and within a few minutes, a female voice sounded behind him.

"William is not easy to get along with in private, is he?"

Ning He regained his tiredness, and looked back at the person who came with clear eyes.Ai Zhinan took a glass of cocktail and walked to him.

Ai Zhinan is Ai Chengjin's brother, also the daughter of Ai Xing's uncle, who is seven years older than Ai Xing.He graduated from Caltech School of Economics three years ago, and now works as the deputy director of Ai's operation department.

Ning He asked without answering, "Do you have any experience to pass on?"

Ai Zhinan stared at him and said, "I'm actually a little curious, Ai Xing is actually kind to you."

Ning He let her look at him, but didn't look back at her, and said with a light smile, "Maybe I'm not easy to make others bored."

Ai Zhinan didn't take Ning He seriously at first, thinking that he was just a second-rate musician who wrote a few salivating songs because of his good looks.But just now, when he heard the conversation between him and Ai Chengjin when he returned to the party, he felt that he was not as simple as the surface, and after careful consideration of Ai Xing's attitude towards him, he felt that there was something wrong.

Ai Zhinan's mind is quite clever, but it's a pity that he is impetuous and young, and suddenly has doubts, so he came up to test Ning He directly.Unexpectedly, Ning He was calmer and more sophisticated than her, and he didn't show any of his trump cards. He only played tricks with her, and instead tried out her intentions.

Ai Zhinan really wanted to find out if there was any rift between him and Ai Xing. Ning He put his hand on Ai Zhinan's shoulder lightly, with a smile in his peach eyes, and asked softly, "Zhinan, do you have a boyfriend?"

The meaning of these words is both obvious and frivolous, Ai Zhinan was taken aback at first, but his heart skipped a beat when he was teased by Ning He's usual tricks.

Ning He glanced at the cocktail in her hand, and said, "The alcohol content of Long Island Iced Tea is not low. If you drink it, don't drive yourself, find someone to give it to you."

After finishing speaking, Ai Zhinan, who hadn't recovered yet, left behind from the balcony.When he walked out of Ai Zhinan's sight, Ning He thought to himself, Ai Xing was really right, what kind of relatives are these?All of them looked greedy and ugly.Poor Ai Chengjin I was shrewd, but in the end he couldn't escape the constraints of the family business.If this group of people can't be settled, I don't know how much trouble it will cause Ai Xing in the future.

The party lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.

After all, Ai Chengjin and Shao Yin were over middle-aged, and they were exhausted after socializing for a long time.When the last group of guests left, they also looked tired, and after a few simple instructions to the servants, they went back to the master bedroom on the third floor to rest.

Ai Xing and Ning He helped to clean up some follow-up chores downstairs, until Sister Zhou, Xiao Cai and a few temporary Filipino maids had left, the whole villa turned off the lights, Ai Xing hugged Ning in the dim corridor He asked him, "What did Ai Zhinan want to talk to you about?"

Ning He was actually very tired, and felt that the Hongmen Banquet tonight was more tiring than having two concerts in a row.He looked up at Ai Xing and sighed, "Don't you know who your sister is? You still need to ask me."

Ai Xing said apologetically, "You don't want to go through this muddy water. Didn't you say that you only want a simple and happy life? No matter what Ai Zhinan asks, you just say you don't know or let her come to me."

Ning He laughed, feeling that he treated himself as a child, "Ai Xing, don't let others guess the depth of our relationship, maybe you will still need me in the future."

——He thought about staying out of the matter, but for the sake of Ai Xing, he might as well stay and play with them.

Ai Xing leaned down to bite Ning He's earlobe, and lowered his voice, "Brother...what should I do? You will only make me want you uncontrollably."

Ning He froze in his arms, and the left ear that was licked/touched quickly burned.Ai Xing's hand was already under his clothes, and there was a hint of lust in his ear-whispering breath, "I wanted you when you sang, and when I saw you chatting with Ai Zhinan, I wished I could drag you to the Locked upstairs."

Ning He tried to push him away, but the boy's arms were amazing, and he was already tightly held in his arms.

"Brother, I don't want to bear it anymore, it's tonight."
