Xuan and Meng

In late June, they came to Luoyang.

Luoyang, when you hear these two words, you will think of the prosperous capital in ancient times.Ning Du found out about Luoyang after surfing the Internet.

Civilization first sprouted here, Taoism began here, Confucianism originated here, Confucianism flourished here, Buddhism first spread here, metaphysics was formed here, Neo Confucianism originated here.Saints and sages gather together, and humanities gather together.Luoyang is also the taproot of the surname and the root of Hakka.

China is like a cradle, no matter where you go, every small town has its own story.

Luoyang is even more so.

The track of history has worn away many traces of existence.Standing among the tall buildings in Luoyang today, Xuanhe can't feel the taste of his hometown at all.To him, it's just a new city.

Empress Wu Zetian Mingtang, Tiantang Ruins is located in the Luoyang National Heritage Park of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Ning Du led Xuan He through one by one.His once inaccessible temple is a wreck, with a sign erected in front for people to watch.

The all-powerful and unspeakable queen was also swept into the dust of history, and became a name that is casually mentioned by the modern population.

Xuanhe walked slowly through the old ruins, touched them slowly, and truly felt the traces of time travel.Everyone went away, A Niang, Brother Sun Jia, the girl next door, and the partners who went to the hall to recite poems...Those years of bitter cold, hunger and poverty, ten years of cold windows, like ants who don't know the end of the day.

Only he was thrown out by that era.He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

According to legend, the exquisite Lushena Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes was carved in the likeness of Wu Zetian.Xuanhe had never seen Wu Zetian's true face, but stood in front of the Buddha and looked up.Ning Du supported him so that he didn't let his knees go limp and kneel down.

Xuanhe still has feudal thoughts and servility deep in his nature.

Xuanhe used to live near Mang Mountain.Ning Du led him around the foot of Mang Mountain for a long time, but he never saw a trace of familiar scenes again. Even that mountain, after thousands of years, is no longer what it used to be.No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't identify the thatched hut that used to be.

Revisiting his homeland, Xuanhe kept shaking, as if in a dream.

Ning Du finally calmed down and understood his mood.Try to take him to eat some delicious local snacks and play some fun activities.

Xuanhe is still resentful.

On the fifth day in Luoyang, Ning Du decided to let Xuanhe rest for a day without making arrangements.

I didn't wake up until 10:30, and it was past eleven o'clock after breakfast and lunch.

Ning Du took him to watch a movie, "Zootopia".It was the first time for Xuanhe to watch a movie in a theater, and he always felt uncomfortable when he was asked to wear 3D glasses.I didn't feel the charm of 3D until the beginning of the movie.He thought he had made a mistake, so he took off his glasses for a while and put them back on again to compare the difference.

A group of small animals finally made Xuanhe laugh out loud.

In the evening, I took him to experience the hotel spa. Xuanhe hated people getting close to him, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he was being massaged, lying there and writhing non-stop.

Ning Du had no choice but to give up and drag him into the bath.

Ning Du grabbed his slender ankle.

"What, why?" Xuanhe's ankle was a sensitive point, and he flinched.

"The nails are growing." Ning Du took out the hotel's nail clippers.

"No, I'll do it myself."

"Do you know how to use it?" Ning Du chuckled, holding his leg to keep him from moving.

Xuanhe's feet are as small as his own, round and slender.The scars on it have almost disappeared, and there are two crystals, beautiful and delicate.

Maybe buy him an anklet.Ning Du thought.

He held Xuanhe's feet and trimmed them for a long time, cut his nails neatly, and his fingers were round and cute.Xuanhe blushed the whole time.

"Ning Du... why are you doing this?"

"Because I like you."

At night, they nestled in bed as usual, and Ning Du accompanied Xuanhe to watch Pleasant Goat.Seeing him watching with concentration, sure enough, he likes everything the child likes.

"Okay, I'll watch it tomorrow, it's time to go to bed." At ten o'clock in the evening, the lights were turned off on time.

"Watch another episode." Xuan He blinked at him, like a pet begging for food.

"final episode?"

"Hmm." Xuan He nodded his fluffy head.

"Then what do you want to give me?"

"what?"

"What do you say?"

Xuan He bit his lips, "There is no difference between kissing me and kissing you."

"Of course. I kiss you to show that I like you. You kiss me to show that you like..."

Before he finished speaking, Xuan He bit his lips, "Okay."

Ning Du pondered for a while on purpose, then nodded, "One episode."

Xuanhe looked at Pleasant Goat, while Ning Du stared at Xuanhe.Sure enough, will the IQ of people who fall in love become lower?He also thought he was quite naive.But I just couldn't help it.Hyun Ho is so cute.

Finally turned off the lights, it was dark and quiet, only breathing and the soft ringing of the second hand.The two lay side by side, and there was some breath flowing in the air.

"Ningdu..."

"Ok?"

"Can two men be together?" Xuan He's thin voice came.

Ning Du choked for a moment, "Actually, same-sex couples in China are not allowed to get married, they just get married. But everyone is already able to accept same-sex love and won't discriminate against us. Don't worry."

"Then... I don't know how to have a baby." Xuan He's voice seemed to be aggrieved and probing.It sounded that Ning Du's stomach was in trouble.

But does he really know about that?Especially two men.Don't think that cuddling and hugging is over.

Sigh~ Ning Du secretly sighed in his heart, Xuanhe is really spotless compared to his current peers.It's not easy to get him enlightened.

"We can adopt."

"Adopt?"

"It is to take in the orphan and make him our child."

When Xuan He heard that Ning Du wanted to take in the orphans, he felt a little conflicted.It may be because he was adopted by Ning Du. If he adopts another child, will Ning Du be divided into half.

"Then your father ordered the hall..."

This was also what Ning Du was most worried about.He is ready to fight a protracted war, no matter what, he will not let Xuanhe go.Because he owns everything, while Xuanhe only has himself.So he couldn't leave, no matter how long it took, he decided to stick to it.

"Okay, isn't your little head tired of thinking so much? As long as you feel at ease, I will solve all problems, okay?"

"Well."

The two stopped talking.After a long time, when Ning Du was about to fall asleep in a daze, Xuan He said weakly, "Why don't you take a concubine."

Pulling Ning Du out of his sleep, he turned on the desk lamp to illuminate Xuan He's face, "What did you say?"

Unexpectedly, Xuanhe said seriously: "There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is having no offspring. I don't want you to cut off your offspring because of me."

Ning Du really couldn't laugh or cry, "So you let me go with another woman? You don't mind?"

Xuan He turned his face away and did not speak.Of course he minds, but what can be done about it, he doesn't want Ning Du to belong to someone else, not at all.But he is a man, and in their place, it is a big treason for men to fall in love, and they will be caught and burned to death in the street market.

It doesn't matter how much he likes Ning Du, Ning Du wants to start a family.Thinking of this, Xuanhe felt a little wronged.For the first time in my life I hate my gender, if only I were a woman...

Ning Du didn't know the twists and turns in his heart, but he was still thinking about Xuanhe's words asking him to take a concubine, "Xuanhe, when you love someone, you should be single-minded, and your body and mind belong to the other person. A half-hearted person is a negative lover, right? Zhong. Do you want me to be a negative lover?"

"No, but..."

"You have to understand." Ning Du cupped Xuan He's face and looked at him, "I belong to you. No one has the right to touch me except you. You also have no right to send me out. Do you understand?" Ning Du There was a gentle light flickering in Du's eyes, and Xuanhe felt that he was about to fall into it.His chest was so sweet that he couldn't help it, as if he was about to explode.

"Ningdu..."

"So, if you talk nonsense in the future, I will punish you to beat my back." Ning Du scratched Xuanhe's little nose.

"Okay." Xuan He grinned, happily nestling into Ning Du's arms automatically.

Even if he couldn't go back, so what, anyway, that era has become the dust of history, and everything he is familiar with has been annihilated.It is enough for him to have Ning Du, no matter what, there is someone he can love and rely on.
