Qi Yang and Wen Qing made an appointment to look at the house in the afternoon. Two days ago, Wen Qing saw a good existing house, so he said he would take some time to look at it.

Qi Yang casually ate some food after class in the morning, and passed the meal from the pedestrian street to find Wen Qing.

As he walked through this street, he thought of the scene when he and Wen Qing ran past here, and felt like laughing.

Think about it almost a year.

He walked slowly without panic, and suddenly saw Dong Zi from the window outside a shop.

He looked up at the name of the store, it was a jewelry store.

He paused and walked in.

Dong Zi also saw him, and greeted him happily, "Hey, Qi Yang, come and help my buddy as a staff officer."

Qi Yang walked over and saw that Dong Zi was picking up the necklace.

He leaned over to have a look, and they were all couples, "Why, do you want to buy them with Chu Zhe?"

"Yeah, I've been struggling with these two models, please help me take a look."

Qi Yang carefully observed the two styles, "... Is there any difference between them?"

Dong Zi rolled his eyes at him, "It's a loss for Wen Qing to follow you."

After finishing speaking, ignore him and continue to look at his necklace.

Qi Yang smiled, didn't say anything, saw a ring seller at the counter next to him, and walked over.

"Excuse me, what do you need, sir? Are you buying it for your girlfriend?" The waiter came over enthusiastically and asked politely.

Qi Yang smiled, "Boyfriend, is there any pairing ring?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment and then realized, with a smile on his face, "Then please come here with me, sir."

Qi Yang followed and saw a pair of very simple ones at a glance.

Qi Yang asked the waiter to take out the pair, held it in his hand and looked at it.

"This is our new version this year, simple and elegant, very suitable for you and your partner."

Qi Yang nodded, looked at his fingers, thought about the width of Wen Qing's ring finger, and bought it directly.

At this time Dong Zi came to him, "Hey, you still want to buy a ring, isn't it sour?"

"I guess Chu Zhe can't wear a ring to work." Qi Yang glanced at him, "Otherwise, you are willing to buy only two necklaces like this?"

Dong Zi was taken aback for a moment, coughed unnaturally twice, and took it as acquiescence without saying a word, Qi Yang looked at him and smiled, and didn't say anything more.

After buying it, Qi Yang greeted Dong Zi and left first. He put the ring in the store and said he would come back to get it when he came back.

It was still quite cold in K city in December, Qi Yang bought the ring and rushed to Wen Qing's side, and was sweating a little when he saw Wen Qing.

Qi Yang took off the scarf, Wen Qing watched him exuding heat, smiled, "Look, you're hot."

"It froze me badly when I was painting last time." Qi Yang unbuttoned the two buttons of his coat.

"Don't worry, I'll catch a cold again later." Wen Qing took his hand, trying to fasten the buttons again.

Qi Yang didn't insist anymore, Ren Wenqing helped him fasten the buttons.

He looked at Wen Qing who was carefully buttoning himself up, and leaned over to kiss him.

Wen Qing paused, raised his head and gave him a blank look, but didn't speak.

Qi Yang looked at him and just smiled.

The house that Wen Qing had his eyes on was a newly developed real estate. They were all duplex villas, and the location was not bad. When the two of them arrived there, there were already many people there.

A sales lady came to receive them.

"May I ask what kind of apartment do you want, gentlemen?"

She observed Qi Yang and Wen Qing, and introduced the situation of some houses.

Wen Qing and Qi Yang listened slowly, nodding from time to time.

"Gentlemen, are you buying this as a wedding room for your fiancées? Then I recommend..."

Qi Yang looked at Wen Qing, and interrupted her with a smile, "It's not counting as a wedding room, it's just ordinary, the two of us are the same."

Wen Qing glared at him, but said nothing.

The sales lady was stunned for a moment, she had already mentioned this point, she also understood, and introduced it according to the configuration of the wedding room, but she didn't explain any more.

Finally, they looked around and chose a duplex villa on the [-]th floor. Qi Yang asked if they could go to see the existing house now, the sales lady said of course, so they walked out of the sales office to the community behind.

When the two of them came here just now, they took a few glances outside the community and came to the sales office because they felt that the environment was not bad.

"This is the supporting garage of the community. The owners in our community park for free."

"This artificial garden was designed for us by Mr. Liu Huang, a professional design master we specially invited. The shape is unique..."

At the beginning, the reason why Wen Qing came here to look at the house was because of the Mr. Liu's signboard that this developer put up. Wen Qing asked why this Mr. Liu was so famous, but Qi Yang didn't understand, so he said to come and see first.

Now seeing this artificial scenery that is said to be designed by Master Liu, Qi Yang thinks it looks pretty, but he doesn't see any difference from the others.

"You don't know how to appreciate." Wen Qing glanced at him and ignored him, looking excitedly at the garden.

They continued to walk forward. The scenery in this community is really good. There are many small bridges and flowing water gardens, and the green area is quite large. Although it is December, it looks quite bleak, but there are a few winter plum trees in full bloom. Zhengyan.

"This is the building." The sales lady taught them to open the smart door downstairs and get on the elevator.

Wen Qing originally wanted to buy a lower one, which is convenient for decoration up and down, but Qi Yang still insisted on buying a higher one.

"You said you want such a tall one, what if the elevator breaks down?" Wen Qing asked.

The sales lady was about to speak, but Qi Yang spoke first.

"Climb when the elevator is broken, it will cure your laziness."

"...I can't move, I'm so tired."

"If you can't climb, I'll carry you on my back."

"You can't carry it... Even if you can move it, what will you do if you get tired and throw me off?"

"You have a lot of things to do," Qi Yang squeezed Wen Qing's hand, "You won't be tired if you change your posture, if you're tired of carrying it on your back, if you're tired of carrying it, I still don't believe that I can't get you."

Wen Qing: "..."

While Wen Qing was speechless, the sales lady interjected, "...Because the floors of our buildings are very high, our elevators have an independent power supply system, and generally there will be no power outages."

"...It's okay, I just wanted to tease him." Wen Qing said quite dejectedly.

Qi Yang smiled happily, and touched Wen Qing's head, but Wen Qing ignored him at first.

The sales lady secretly wiped off her sweat, you still want to tease others, you just got molested, okay!

When they arrived at the house and entered the door, a bare blank room appeared in front of them.

They walked in, and the sales lady led Qi Yang and talked about the situation of the house. Qi Yang asked in detail about the effective area of ​​the house, whether there was a floor drain, whether the water test was done, and how about the sound insulation effect, the sales lady After explaining everything one by one, Qi Yang nodded slightly while listening.

Wen Qing didn't follow them, walked around the house, touched the gray wall, his eyes were a little dazed.

"what happened?"

Qi Yang walked up to Wen Qing and asked.

"It's nothing." Wen Qing shook his head and smiled slightly, "...the house I lived in when I was young was similar to this."

Qi Yang was startled.

"It's just that there is basically no decoration, one bed, three people sleep, there seems to be some other things, but I don't remember it, after all, it was too small at the time."

"This is our home now," Qi Yang patted Wen Qing's shoulder, and he could almost understand Wen Qing's discomfort, "Auntie... Although she has no chance, she must live better in heaven than us."

"Well, I'm fine, I just feel a little emotional all of a sudden," Wen Qing smiled, "I also have a house... I have a family now."

Qi Yang's heart twitched, he hugged Wen Qing and didn't speak again.

This house is quite tall, and there are no taller buildings nearby. The distance between the buildings in the community is moderate, and the lighting is good. The faint winter sun shines in from the window, and the house is warm.

"How is it?" Wen Qing asked.

Qi Yang nodded, "Yes, very good."

"Then this one?"

Qi Yang patted Wen Qing's head, "It's fine if you say so."

They went downstairs, paid the down payment at the sales office, signed the contract, walked around the community and left.

They walked slowly, Qi Yang didn't drive, they didn't take the bus, the setting sun stretched their figures very long.

"Qi Yang, when shall we start the renovation?"

"So you're thinking about renovation?" Qi Yang kicked a pebble, "Decoration is troublesome, such as tearing down the wall, changing the heating pipes, installing windows, it's quite annoying."

"You don't want to worry about the decoration when you buy a house?" Wen Qing laughed, "You just live like this?"

"Take your time, this matter cannot be rushed." Qi Yang said.

"If you don't want to pretend, just let me do it, I really want to play." Wen Qing looked at Qi Yang.

Seeing the look of anticipation in Wen Qing's eyes, Qi Yang suddenly became a little uneasy, "...Can you do it, don't tear down the building after getting half of it."

"Qi Yang, I'm older than you no matter what, you should call me brother, do you know that?" Wen Qing said seriously.

Qi Yang burst out laughing.

"Brother, stop the meeting." Qi Yang smiled from ear to ear, ignoring Wen Qing's black face, "If you really want to play, you can play, and in the end as long as you can live."

"Just wait, when the time comes, I will let you kneel down and beg me to live in."

Qi Yang smiled, pulled Wen Qing's hair, Wen Qing frowned and hit him.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them didn't go home, they went directly to the bar, everyone was there, noisy, the night show started, Dong Zi and a group of band members performed on stage.

Boss Xiao personally mixed the drinks at the bar, stood beside them and chatted with them, but remained silent most of the time.

The bar is quite dark, Bai Lian is here today, Qi Yang hasn't seen him since the time he went to the reservoir, Bai Lian hasn't attended Qi Yang's class for a long time.

"Why haven't you gone recently? You haven't finished your ten or so classes yet." Qi Yang and Bai Lian clinked glasses of wine.

"Something happened at home recently, I don't even play the drum now." Bai Lian raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Qi Yang nodded and didn't say anything more.

Wen Qing on the side heard their conversation and asked Bai Lian, "You don't play drums anymore? You used to play so well, you just throw it away?"

Bai Lian scratched his head, quite frustrated, while Wen Qing looked quite angry.

Qi Yang knew that Wen Qing had taught Bai Lian a lot of tricks before, but this reaction was a bit over the top.

"How long have you been throwing away?" Wen Qing's voice was deep and his face was not very good-looking, "...I don't care how long you have been throwing away, pick it up now."

Both Qi Yang and Bai Lian looked at Wen Qing in surprise, Xiao Jingzhou looked up at Wen Qing, and paused for a moment with his hand wiping his wine glass.

He has never ordered others to do something that has nothing to do with him as forcefully as he does now.

Wen Qing clenched her fingers tightly, staring straight at Bai Lian.

"Don't say anything about giving up. If you have something to say, just give up. Have you forgotten how long you have studied?"

"...Brother Wen Qing, I really..." Bai Lian hesitated to speak, looking quite embarrassed.

"Wen Qing," Qi Yang took the wine that Xiao Jingzhou had mixed, poured some wine for the three of them, and swung the glass, "What do you think Bai Lian is doing, as if you have never given up playing drums."

The corners of Qi Yang's mouth curled up slightly, flickering in the dim light, Wen Qing actually felt a strange sarcasm.

"Brother Wen Qing, have you... ever given up playing drums?" Bai Lian asked.

Qi Yang took a sip of his wine and said half-jokingly, "Didn't you see that Brother Wen Qing refuses to play drums now?"

Wen Qing's hand holding the wine glass trembled a little, and his eyes were a little complicated.

The three of them fell into a sudden silence. Xiao Jingzhou who was standing beside him didn't speak, half of his face was sunk in the darkness, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

After a while, Wen Qing opened his mouth.

"...Qi Yang, do you want to hear me play drums?"
