Blooming Romance

Ed naturally refused to admit it, he said calmly, "You are all my honored guests."

Chu Xun understood what he was doing, and he would not admit it easily if it were him.

Chu Xun didn't ask Ed to admit it. He smiled noncommittally and said in a low voice, "I'm not good enough for him, am I?"

Ed frowned imperceptibly, glanced at Chu Xun, and said, "You are a gentleman."

He couldn't help adding: "I haven't seen him so happy in a long time."

After speaking, he immediately felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if he had turned into a masked man.

Chu Xun didn't mind, and said, "I saw you as a tight-lipped person, so I came to talk to you."

"I booked a flight back home at 1:[-] am on the [-]st, can you arrange a car to take me to the airport?"

Ed nodded: "Okay, sir, the driver will take you to the airport on time."

Chu Xun corrected and said: "It's not 'we', it's 'I', only I will go back, he doesn't know, don't tell him."

Ai De finally looked at Chu Xun, and they met their eyes.Chu Xun saw strong doubts in his eyes. He obviously couldn't understand Chu Xun's actions, and changed his mind over and over again. He just came back a few days ago, and now he is leaving again. He still hides it from Lin Yanchen. It stands to reason that he must I have to tell the young master.

Chu Xun: "No matter how I leave, you will know, so I will tell you."

Ed was silent for a while, and asked, "Why? He likes you very much....It's the first time I've seen him like someone so much."

Chu Xun looked into his eyes calmly and seriously, and said softly: "I should have left when I went to the airport last time, but I was impulsive, which is very irrational. I should leave him, and I don't want to make him too sad. "

Ed rhetorically said, "He's sad when you leave him."

Chu Xun shook his head slightly and said, "I'm dying."

Ed: "..."

This smoke bomb was thrown too casually.

Chu Xun seemed to be talking about other people's affairs: "More than a month ago, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and I only had a few months to live. I didn't choose to receive treatment. Now the time left for me may be even shorter... …I feel like I'm starting to get sick and I can't hide it anymore."

Chu Xun smiled: "Does it sound ridiculous? But I'm really not lying."

"I know his mother died of illness when he was a child. He watched his mother die. I should not let him experience such pain again."

"I will try not to embarrass you. I will leave him a letter explaining the ins and outs."

Ed hesitated, and finally said, "I'm sorry for you, sir... someone will take you to the airport tomorrow morning."

Chu Xun smiled restrainedly: "Thank you."

When Chu Xun returned to the kitchen, Lin Yanchen was still struggling to knead the dough, and asked him, "Is this okay?"

Chu Xun instructed him: "Knead it into a smooth dough."

They rolled the dumpling wrappers with their hands, mixed corn fresh meat stuffing, and sat together to make dumplings. It was the first time for Lin Yanchen to make dumplings in his life. He is good at sports, but he is not good at such fine work. Chu Xun taught him by hand. After touching him several times, he was still crooked.

Chu Xun was really surprised: "Did you do it on purpose? Is this your taste? Do you want me to teach you a few more times?"

Lin Yanchen couldn't laugh or cry, and said honestly: "I really can't learn, I'm stupid."

Chu Xun still forbade him not to do it, and insisted that he pack it full of two large rectangular fresh-keeping boxes.As he was doing it, he gradually got a little look, and the two of them chatted while making dumplings.

Chu Xun said: "My father taught me how to make dumplings. He is very good at making dumplings in several shapes. When he was young, his family was poor, and he was the eldest in the family. He started working in the fields before he was ten years old. Helping with housework at home, reading and doing homework while taking care of younger siblings, he is the first college student in their village."

Chu Xun heard about his father's struggle history since he was a child. He used to admire his father very much, and he was able to work hard from being poor to nothing.Later, he felt that it might be that his father had never received any attention from his parents when he was young, so he was not good at caring for children.Given Dad's growth environment, it's understandable that he can't accept that he likes men, but he still feels sad.

Lin Yanchen wanted to answer his words and talk about the topic of "father", but racked his brains after thinking about it, and realized that he didn't seem to know his father at all.

Chu Xun asked him: "If your father knows that you are with a man, what will he do?"

Lin Yanchen was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "Are you willing to come with me to see my dad? Okay, then I will inform him. He should be fine."

Lin Yanchen recalled: "When I was in high school...he once asked me if I was gay for no reason, thinking that I was in a relationship with my friend in the orchestra, and said that even if I was him, he would accept it. I don’t know. He was thinking about something nonsense all day long, and he probably felt that I was messing around all the time from morning to night."

"But I have nothing to do with him when I fall in love, so I don't have to inform him, do I?"

Chu Xun smiled and said with emotion: "Actually, I was thinking, maybe your father is very good. You should have a good chat with him when you have time."

Lin Yanchen pursed his lips, and firmly refused: "No, he is not good at all, he even wants to restrain my hair. He just said that because he wanted to control me."

Chu Xun didn't try to persuade him any more, let nature take its course, Lin Yanchen's life is still long, he will find out who is really good to him sooner or later.

Everyone cooked dumplings and ate them.

Chu Xun's and Lin Yanchen's bags are completely different, and one can tell which is better at a glance.

Lin Yanchen said: "The dumplings I made fell apart as soon as they were boiled, but yours are firm and beautiful. How did you make them so well?"

Chu Xun said: "I like making dumplings. I usually make them... When I'm in a bad mood, I'll chop stuffing and wrap my bad mood into dumplings."

He picked up a dumpling and fed it to Lin Yanchen's mouth with a smile. Lin Yanchen opened his mouth obediently and ate it in one bite. .(tasty)"

Chu Xun said with a smile: "Then eat up the bad mood in one go, leaving only the good mood."

After eating and drinking, Chu Xun secretly went to Ai De and said, "Xiao Lin made several boxes, and sent a box of dumplings made by Xiao Lin to his father, saying it was a New Year's gift. I have nothing more to do for him." gone."

Ed agreed: "Okay. Thank you."

After eating, the two idlers had nothing to do and played games.

Lin Yanchen was not in good condition today, and he was repeatedly defeated. Chu Xun asked him: "What's wrong?"

Lin Yanchen put down his game arm and said in a muffled voice, "I really don't want to do this."

Chu Xun was at a loss: "What don't you want?"

Lin Yanchen said vaguely: "I want to ask you something, I wanted to ask it yesterday, but when I asked it, it seemed that I was very narrow-minded."

Chu Xun raised his head back and leaned on Lin Yanchen's shoulder: "Tell me."

Lin Yanchen said in a low voice: "You always look at Ed and talk to him alone, do you think he is handsome? But, he is not as young as me, right?"

Chu Xun was stunned, smiled, and pinched his cheek: "What does this have to do with being young? Why are you so cute?"

Lin Yanchen said: "Don't be perfunctory to me."

Chu Xun had no choice but to answer seriously: "Well, I think Ed is very handsome." There is no need to lie.

Lin Yanchen almost didn't explode.

Chu Xun said again: "It's the first time in my life that I saw such an English-style butler, and his clothes are also very nice. I was thinking..."

Lin Yanchen held his breath and asked sourly, "What do you think? He doesn't provide that kind of service."

Lin Yanchen regretted it very much. He knew that he would not bring Chu Xun here, and he knew that Chu Xun was lustful.

Chu Xun said slowly without shame, "I was just thinking, if you were wearing that outfit, you must be more handsome than him."

Lin Yanchen: "...,!"

Lin Yanchen went out after taking a shower, Chu Xun changed into pajamas, sat on the single sofa and waited.

After a while, Lin Yanchen came back sneakily. He not only changed into the housekeeper's clothes, but also put on some pomade, changed his hairstyle, combed his hair back four to six parts, and looked decent.

On the small round table next to Chu Xun was a glazed table lamp, exuding a soft lemon-colored mist, and the light was nestled beside him.

I don't know if he felt ashamed by changing the servant's clothes, or Chu Xun's temperament looks different today, he seems more attractive than usual, Lin Yanchen felt his cheeks burn.

Lin Yanchen walked up to him and bowed his head: "Dear master, yes, what do you want to tell me."

Chu Xun acted better than him, and said calmly: "Are you new here? You still stutter, you can't do this, if you don't make progress, I can't let you stay."

Lin Yanchen knelt down halfway, raised his head, like a big golden retriever sitting down: "I'm sorry, master, I must learn to correct it, please give me a chance."

Chu Xun stretched out his hand to lift his chin: "Well then, if you can please me tonight, I will forgive you."

From this angle, Lin Yanchen saw the lines from Chu Xun's chin to his neck and shoulders, which were very beautiful. The neckline of his pajamas was a little loose, revealing a little collarbone. Falling, slipped from his temples to his neck, and landed in the crook of his collarbone.

Lin Yanchen's mouth was parched.

Chu Xun took off his glasses, and his black hair, which was still steamy, was pushed back by the glasses rod, making his complexion white like jade, shrouded in light.

Chu Xun said softly, "Come here."

……

……

Chu Xun's face was flushed with tears in his eyes, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and stretched out his hand: "Little Lin, hold me."

Lin Yanchen leaned over and hugged him.

Chu Xun buried his face on his shoulder and hugged him tightly, as if this moment was their forever.

After finishing, they were still hugging each other, Chu Xun was still trembling and sobbing, Lin Yanchen stroked his back: "Ah Xun, did I hurt you?"

After Chu Xun calmed down a bit, he said, "I still want to hear you sing to me."

When a man is in bed, he can agree to anything, so Lin Yanchen naturally said, "What do you want to hear?"

Chu Xun said, "Sing "Scarborough Fair" to me."

Before Sarah Brightman sang the ethereal female version of the song, it was originally an English ballad of unknown origin. The most famous version is probably the version adapted by Paul Simon. In that year, the sales volume even surpassed that of the thriving Beatles, and the deep and husky boys were long and sad.

Chu Xun said, "Change she to he."

Lin Yanchen slightly changed the lyrics, and sang softly to him while holding him:

"Are you going to Scarborough Fair (Are you going to Scarborough Fair?)

parsley, sage, rosemaryandthyme (parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme)

Remembermetoonewhoonewholivesthere (remember me to one who lives there)

Heoncewasatureloveofmine (He was my love)”

The song is about a young soldier who goes to the front and misses his lover back home. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme are herbs that represent kindness, strength, gentleness, and courage, but were also used in ancient times to ward off grim Reaper.

"Tell him to make mea cambric shirt (tell him to make me a coarse cloth shirt)

withoutnoseamsnorneedlework (do not have any traces of needlework)

……

Tellhimtofindmeanacreofland (tell him to find an acre of land)

Between the saltwater and the sea (between the beach and the sea)

……

Tellhimtoreapitinasickleofleather (tell him to harvest crops with a sickle made of leather)

And to gather itallin abunch of heather (and to gather them together with a bouquet of heather)"

Chu Xun listened quietly. The soldier asked his lover to do three impossible things. The lyrics seemed illogical. Some people said that the lyrics actually implied that the soldier died in the war long ago, or that his lover had died in the war. Hometown, so there are passages where herbs related to death are chanted repeatedly.Because he has died, he is implicitly praying to the god of death.

After Lin Yanchen sang it once, he asked Chu Xun, "Do you want me to sing it again?"

Chu Xun sighed silently and said, "Enough."

Lin Yanchen asked: "Why do you suddenly want to hear this song?" He always felt that it was weird to sing this song now.

"I just want to hear it, there is no reason." Chu Xun said, "The person in the song is really making trouble for no reason."

Lin Yanchen said: "When you are in love, you will do some unreasonable things."

Chu Xun smiled: "Then I have to make trouble for no reason. I want to drink freshly squeezed apple juice with some honey. I want you to make it for me."

Lin Yanchen didn't ask him why he wanted juice in the middle of the night, but kissed him on the cheek: "Okay, I'll squeeze it for you."

The house is too big, Lin Yanchen squeezed a glass of apple juice, just took it back, but Chu Xun said: "I feel like drinking orange juice more, you can get another glass."

Lin Yanchen didn't mind the trouble, and went all the way to squeeze a glass of orange juice himself. Of course, he didn't wash the juicer and cutting board knives, so he went back with the orange juice.

Chu Xun was satisfied this time, and said: "The apple juice is too wasteful if you don't drink it. You can drink it."

Lin Yanchen has done sports, sang, and ran up and down. He drank a little, and the squeezed apple juice was only half a cup. He drank it in a few gulps, and said: "Apple is too easy to oxidize, and it is actually a bit bitter. I should add some lemon."

Chu Xun praised him: "Do you still know such little tricks of life?"

Lin Yanchen said: "I'm studying in a boys' boarding school. I can probably take care of myself, but I can't cook."

Chu Xun said: "It's amazing, it's amazing...Okay, let's wash up and go to sleep."

Lin Yanchen changed into her pajamas, wiped her face, and soon after lying on the bed, she began to feel sleepy, yawned, and said, "Turn off the lights and go to sleep."

Chu Xun turned off the lights, and the moonlight shone through the window glass and was filtered by the light gauze, covering them gently.

Lin Yanchen was already asleep. Two sleeping pills were put in his glass of apple juice, so he could sleep until dawn.

Chu Xun hugged Lin Yanchen, lowered his head, put his face on Lin Yanchen's forehead, and hummed slowly in a low voice. His singing was not pleasant at all:

"Are you going to Scarborough Fair

parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Remembermetoonewhoonewholivesthere...

Heonce was a nature love of mine..."

"Heonce was a nature love of mine..."
