Chapter 55 55
After a long period of thrilling ordeal, the matter finally settled down, and everyone's heartstrings that had been tensed for many days were finally able to relax.
After returning home, Chang's father and Chang's mother kept busy, cleaned the whole house inside and out, and asked Chang Qin to take a hot bath to wash away all the bad luck. When the two of them came back, Chang's father said that he would cook a few good dishes by himself and reward everyone, saying that he would not let Xi Ling go.
When Chang Qin came out of the bathroom, he put on a clean white T-shirt, which made him look even more radiant. The haze that had lingered around him for many days was finally swept away. At this time, Chang Qin looked even more handsome .
His mother rushed forward, handed him a bowl full of soup, and told him to drink it up.
"Mom!" Chang Qin frowned and complained, "I've been drinking this soup for a week, and I almost vomited when I smelled it, so why don't I stop drinking it?"
Mom smiled softly and comforted her: "Hey, this is the last bowl. I'll make you something else after drinking this."
Chang Qin reluctantly took it, raised his head and drank it down.
Mom took back the empty bowl and patted him on the shoulder: "Xi Ling is in the living room, you go and stay with him. Your father and I will go shopping later."
Chang Qin's heart trembled, he hummed happily, and walked to the living room in two or three steps.
As expected, Xi Ling was sitting on a corner of the sofa, immersed in the pages of a magazine, when he heard him coming, he raised his head and smiled knowingly.
Chang Qin only felt his heartbeat pause again. This scene reminded him of Xi Ling sitting in the corner of the sofa when he traveled thousands of miles to England last year, looking up at him like this, but at that time, there was no smile on his face. Chang Qin hesitated for a moment, and instead of going forward, he waved his hand and greeted Xi Ling: "Lawyer Xi, I have a few things of yours here, but you forgot to take them away."
"What?" Xi Ling asked suspiciously.
"You'll know when you come with me." Chang Qin hurriedly dropped these words, turned around and walked towards his bedroom.
Xi Ling had no choice but to put down the book in his hand and follow behind him.
Chang Qin opened the bedroom door, waited by the door frame for Xi Ling to enter the room, then closed and locked the door neatly.
Xi Ling: "..."
Before Xi Ling could ask him why he locked it, he was pushed against the door panel by a strong force. Then, warm breath came to his face, his lips were covered by another soft lip, and the slippery tip of his tongue was in his mouth. Drive straight in.
Xi Ling frowned anxiously, he thought Chang Qin was crazy!Godfather and godmother were still outside, so he dared to do such a thing so blatantly, so he raised his hand to push away Chang Qin's generous chest, and then hid back, but Chang Qin immediately pushed him harder. Pressing him up, he pressed his back tightly against the door. The hand covering Chang Qin's chest was removed and pressed against his tight waist. On the door.
Chang Qin held up Xi Ling's white and tender face, and kissed him vigorously, as if after this moment, he would never be able to get close to this person again. Xi Ling was a little dizzy after being kissed, and the original stubborn resistance gradually relaxed , began to enjoy this soft deep kiss.
After a long period of upheaval, Chang Qin finally ended the kiss, but he didn't want to leave the other half an inch. He just retracted his tongue, pressed his lips against Xi Ling's lips that had been kissed deep red, and murmured in a low voice: "Xi Ling ,I love you."
Xi Ling trembled all over.
Chang Qin hugged him more tightly, and asked again unhurriedly: "Do you believe it?"
The two of them were too close, Xi Ling could only keep blinking to keep his vision clear.
Chang Qin looked funny, so he relaxed the strength in his hands, and moved away a little. He stared at Xi Ling's face closely, under the thick eyelashes, the deep pupils were full of astonishment, and his lips were wet from being kissed by him. The water was glistening, and Chang Qin's heart was itching from scratching, and he couldn't help but want to touch him and kiss him, thinking this way, he tilted his head involuntarily, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't believe it, then I will prove it to you. "
Kankan pressed her soft lips, ready to have another long kiss, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.Both of them were startled, and they took a few steps back guiltily, keeping a distance from the door.
"Chang Qin, I went shopping with your father, and I'll be back soon, please treat Xi Ling well." Mom's voice sounded from outside the door.
Chang Qin exchanged a sly look with Xi Ling, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Got it."
It wasn't until they heard the sound of the door being locked that the two of them relaxed, and both of them sat on the bed paralyzed, their chests still heaving violently because of the shock.
Chang Qin leaned over to Xi Ling, took the other's hand, rubbed it in his palm with compassion, and said sincerely: "I know, I was an asshole emotionally before, but this time I really am. Seriously, every word I just said is from the heart, Xi Ling, do you believe me?"
Xi Ling lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked at Chang Qin, and said slowly: "Give me some time, I, I still have some things to do."
Chang Qin didn't understand, but he knew that Xi Ling had his own difficulties, so he didn't continue to ask, but nodded firmly: "Okay."
After being silent for a long while, Chang Qin suddenly burst into a sinister smile, and pressed his lips to the earlobe of the other party with malicious intentions: "However, let's hurry up and do the current thing first." Before the words finished, Xi Ling was pushed down On the soft bed, I was lying on top of the other person, looking at him with a lewd|smile.
"..." Xi Ling twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "Are you crazy, godfather and godmother will be back soon."
"It was my mother who asked me to 'entertain' you well." Chang Qin took it for granted.
Xi Ling: "..."
(River river river...)
When Chang's parents and Chang's mother returned home after shopping for vegetables, the two of them had already cleaned up the house. They seemed to take the big and small bags from their parents and took them into the kitchen to help with work.
In order to celebrate Chang Qin's overcoming difficulties, mother decided to make dumplings by herself at night. The three of them were busy around the dining table. What happened to the neck? Why is there a red spot?"
Xi Ling was stunned for two seconds before he could react, his face turned red up to the ears, and he faltered and explained: "Oh, it was stung by a bee accidentally."
"Did a bee sting?" Chang's mother worried, "At that moment, I quickly wiped it with soap, and I don't know if the bee is poisonous."
"Yes." Xi Ling turned his head and stared at Chang Qin fiercely, gnashing his teeth and replied, "Poisonous, very poisonous!"
Chang Qin had no choice but to hold back his laughter in such pain that he almost shook the flour on the table to the ground.
After a while, the entire table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and four people sat around the table, enjoying dinner happily.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Chang Qin sat alone in the current position and enjoyed the New Year's Eve dinner alone. At that time, he never thought that the happy scene in the past would really reappear.
Although he was framed innocently this time and made him suffer for many days in vain, but now it seems that all these punishments seem to be worth it.
He turned his head and looked at Xi Ling who was concentrating on eating dumplings, filled his glass with wine, stood up and respected him: "This time, I can get through the difficulty smoothly, I must thank Xi Ling."
When the parents heard what he said, they also raised their glasses to toast Xi Ling, agreeing: "Yes, yes, this time our Qin'er was able to survive this test, thanks to Xi Ling's contribution."
Overwhelmed by the flattery, Xi Ling put down his chopsticks, stood up and raised his wine glass, and replied sheepishly: "Godfather and Godmother, Chang Qin, you are all too polite. As a lawyer, these are what I should do."
"Xi Ling, thank you!" Chang Qin's fiery eyes fixed on him firmly, and he expressed his sincere gratitude.
Xi Ling only felt as if his heart had been struck by an electric current, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and he hesitated for a while, ready to take the glass of wine.
What to say thank you, in fact, I am willing.
He drank the wine in the glass with a sip on his back, thinking like this.
After dinner, Xi Ling was too drunk to drive. Chang Qin accompanied him downstairs to take a taxi in the name of seeing him off. At this point, all the old women who danced in the square in the community had returned home from work. There was no one there, on a night in early spring, with a warm breeze and a little coolness in the air, Chang Qin took Xi Ling's hand and walked slowly in the secluded garden.
"Is it cold?" He glanced at Xi Ling who was wrapped in a scarf, and asked worriedly.
Xi Ling shook his head, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
"It's not cold, why are your hands so cold?" Chang Qin frowned, and tightened his fingers.
"I'm born with a cold body, and it's not like you don't know that even in the summer, my hands are still cold." Xi Ling replied flatly.
"Is it related to your mother? You said that when your mother gave birth to you, she always took the medicine Poria cocos. I've checked that Poria cocos can be used to strengthen the body."
Xi Ling glanced at him unexpectedly, but his tone was as calm as ever: "Maybe."
"You should exercise with us more often. If you have the opportunity, introduce you to a new friend. It's a pity that he has returned to Hong Kong recently and is not in the mainland."
"Are you talking about Fu Shengyu?" Xi Ling asked without thinking.
"How do you know?" Chang Qin wondered.
"I saw the magazine that reported the two of you." Xi Ling's tone was slightly sour.
Chang Qin didn't realize it at all, but said in surprise: "I never thought that the book could go abroad."
"Yeah." Xi Ling nodded, "It's a very powerful magazine, and you can buy it in the UK."
"No wonder..." Chang Qin sighed.
"No wonder what?"
"No wonder, at that time, Fu Shengyu insisted on pulling me to take a photo together. Originally, our two interviews were separate, but he took the initiative to arrange with the editor-in-chief. Perhaps considering the popularity of this magazine, the two of us appeared on the cover together. , there will be a bigger selling point." Chang Qin speculated.
Xi Ling smiled, and when Vincent saw Fu Shengyu's photo, the ridicule of "he can't be gay" suddenly flashed in his mind.But he just pressed the corner of his lips and didn't say anything.
But Chang Qin brought it up by himself as if he had a heart-to-heart connection: "I'll tell you something funny. In fact, Fu Shengyu also likes men."
Xi Ling frowned: "How do you know?"
"Of course he told me." Chang Qin said defenselessly.
Xi Ling let out a cry, but said nothing more.
"What?" Chang Qin glanced at him and said with a smirk, "Are you jealous?"
"Strange!" Xi Ling's hair was black, "What kind of vinegar do I eat?"
Inexplicably, Chang Qin became disheartened again, and complained quietly: "Lawyer Xi, you really don't care about me."
The two chatted nonsense, unknowingly walked around the huge garden a few times, a street lamp stood next to them, casting a fan-shaped yellow light on the ground, Chang Qin pulled Xi Ling, walked to In the shadow where the light can't shine, he grabbed the opponent to stop, and hugged Xi Ling into his arms.
"Xi Ling, I really don't want to let go, I'm afraid that if I let go, you will disappear again." Chang Qin buried his head in his neck, and the warm breath quickly made Xi Ling's earlobe red.
Xi Ling sighed, stretched out his arms, and patted the other person's back comfortingly: "What happened last time was my fault. I shouldn't have left without saying hello. From now on..."
"You are never allowed to leave again." Before he could finish speaking, Chang Qin blurted out.
Xi Ling chuckled: "But we are not together yet."
Chang Qin let go of him, and there was a little light in his dark eyes. He blinked in confusion, and asked in confusion, "Why not?"
Xi Ling looked at him with a smile: "I said, I still have something to do."
Just now Chang Qin didn't break the casserole to ask the end, this time he also shut his mouth very tactfully, he thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise me, when you are done, come with me." together."
Xi Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, and cursed helplessly: "Childish."
Chang Qin took his hand again, and asked tentatively, "Then can I sleep at your house tonight?"
Xi Ling raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Oh? Have you considered it?"
"..." Chang Qin was momentarily at a loss for words, and rolled his eyes in embarrassment.
Xi Ling let go of his hand with a smile, and patted the back of his hand: "I said I'm not in a hurry, come to me when you are mentally prepared. Go to bed early, good night."
After finishing speaking, he walked to the gate without looking back, leaving Changqin alone in a daze, Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out, he didn't understand, it was obvious that he was chasing him for nothing, how could it be the other way around, inexplicable Became the one to be eaten.
