Investment Life

Chen Yuanming woke up in the darkness, with a rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing.He lay on the bed and took a breath, letting his tense nerves relax slowly.The eyes began to adapt to the light in the room, and the thick darkness revealed its layers, turning into the familiar scene of the bedroom.

The sense of hearing is also gradually recovering, the slight ticking of the stopwatch, the white noise of the ventilation fan rustling, and the familiar breath.An arm was tightly wrapped around his chest, just like Xiao Chenchen's obsession with his baby teddy bear, he clung on tightly, suffocating with force.

With a slight smile across his lips, Chen Yuanming gently pushed away the culprit that caused the nightmare, sat up from the bed, and prepared to drink some water to moisten his lips.However, before he opened the lid of the cup, a sleepy voice sounded.

"Yuanming?"

The arm slid on the bed, bringing out a slight rubbing sound of the bed sheet, but no one was caught, and the other party's snort suddenly became rapid, as if he was about to wake up from sleep.

Chen Yuanming turned around and pressed that hand, "I'm thirsty, get up and drink some water."

His answer was a long snort, and the hand was turned back, holding Chen Yuanming's fingertips.It took a while before the sound came out.

"what time is it?"

Looking at the luminous clock on the bedside table, Chen Yuanming replied, "2:10, it's still early, go on to sleep."

That hand didn't intend to let go, and held tightly for a while, before repeating in a low voice.

"It's still early..."

The desire to drink water disappeared immediately, Chen Yuanming lay back on the bed again, shortened the distance between the two, and hugged his lover in his arms.

"Well, let's sleep."

He closed his eyes, but the breathing in his ears was still disturbed for a while, before he slowly regained his composure and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, the clock had pointed to 9 o'clock, which surprised Chen Yuanming who always gets up at 7 o'clock.After rubbing his face, he got up from the bed. The person next to his pillow had obviously gotten up early, and the half of the sheet was cold, with a chill of late spring.

However, unlike the tranquility in the bedroom, through the door and corridor, faint laughter floated from the outside. The louder voice was immature and full of childishness, while the deeper male voice was unhurried, as if teasing What a funny little animal.

Chen Yuanming couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips, and walked out the door.

Since his parents moved to Beijing for a long-term stay, Chen Yuanming moved out of Xishan Villa and bought a small bungalow nearby as his and Xiao Junyi's new home.The construction area is not as spacious as that of Xishan, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The lower floor is home and the upper floor is office, and there is a special children's room, which is enough for their family of four to live in.

It's just that they don't have many chances of coming back to this small villa.Frequent business trips, and the children often live with their grandparents, this place has become a love nest for them to get together. There are only a handful of lively mornings like this.Turning around the corridor with a smile, he stood at the door of the kitchen, and saw that in the spacious open dining room, the two young and one big were busy making a group.

The two little guys ran around with scraps of bowls, chopsticks and ingredients. They were called to help but added to the chaos, and they looked overjoyed.While teasing the two little ones slowly, the older one waved the spatula leisurely, preparing breakfast.The aroma has begun to overflow, including the sweet milk aroma, the fat burnt aroma of fried eggs and bacon, and the wheat aroma of pastries such as siu mai buns... His stomach gurgled, and before the meal was ready, he had already moved his index finger .

At this time, the little boy who was trying to reach out to put a few small plastic bowls on the table suddenly found Chen Yuanming's figure, and rushed forward with a loud cry.

"Dad, Dad, you finally woke up! Look at the breakfast my sister and I made!"

The little girl also ran over and stretched out her hands in a "hug" motion.Chen Yuanming laughed, stretched out his arms to hug his daughter, and rubbed his face against her delicate face.The little girl giggled, hiding while laughing, "Daddy's face is prickly! Don't touch her~"

Reaching out to hold his son, he walked towards the dining table, "What have you guys done?"

The little boy jumped up excitedly, pointed to the dining table higher than himself and said, "We brought cereal, milk! There are also sweet oranges and a big plate of cherry meat! Daddy is in charge of heating the meal!"

"It's really capable!" Putting the two little guys on the child seat, Chen Yuanming touched the hair of the two, "Leave the rest of the chores to Dad!"

Xiao Junyi had already put several hot dishes on plates at this time, walking towards them steadily with two plates in one hand like a waiter in a restaurant.

"You are a pretty good cook." Reaching out to take the plate, Chen Yuanming put the dishes suitable for children in front of them, and stole a kiss on the side of his lover's ear.

Xiao Junyi raised his brows, showing a smug smile, "I don't know whose family the chef is."

Soon a large table was filled with dishes, and Chen Yuanming and Xiao Junyi sat on both sides, taking care of the children while eating.Since they grew up with Liu Lanxin, these two little guys have pretty good table manners, and they are very attentive to eating. Seeing her daughter struggling with the soft-boiled eggs in the egg cup with a small spoon, Chen Yuanming couldn't help laughing, He reached for the handkerchief and wiped the light yellow egg liquid on the corner of her lips.

Xiao Xiao ate faster, and he settled his ration in a short while. He blinked his big round eyes, looked at the two adults who were still eating slowly, and couldn't help saying, "Today we're going to the amusement park Okay? I really want to go to the amusement park!"

Xiaochen hadn't finished his meal yet, so he raised his head anxiously, "The zoo! Go to the zoo to see penguins..."

"Honey, you can't talk while eating, let's eat first." Chen Yuanming stopped his daughter's protest.

Xiao Junyi added, "Go to the zoo in the morning and the amusement park in the afternoon. Anyway, we can play for a whole day!"

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened in surprise, "Is it okay?!"

"Of course, we have enough time today."

Xiao Junyi said with a smile, but his eyes fell on Chen Yuanming who was facing him. What was contained in his sight made Chen Yuanming's heart twitch slightly, and he couldn't help showing a comforting smile.

"Today...and tomorrow, until the May Day holiday, we will stay at home." As he spoke, Chen Yuanming lowered his head and stroked his daughter's soft hair, "So Chen Chen can eat slowly, we are not in a hurry."

They... still have time.

After breakfast, I changed the two little guys into the clothes for going out, and the two walked out the door holding each other.The car is an extended version of SUV, which is suitable for traveling with children.Born in a wealthy family, the two little guys have long been accustomed to the protection and escort of the "uncle driver", chatting with their parents as if nothing had happened, and pouring out their joy.

Today's weather is very sunny, and it has begun to warm up at the end of April. The bright sunshine has brought the temperature and swayed in through the car window. Chen Yuanming looked at the three people in front of him, and there was a reassuring warmth in his heart.

The Penguin Pavilion at the Beijing Zoo was only built in 2004. It was the first time for the two little guys to see real penguins. Xiao Chenchen couldn’t take his eyes off. The Sea Otter Pavilion next door, giant pandas, golden monkeys, giraffes... The zoo is as wonderful as a fairyland for children of this age.

After all, they were less than 6 years old, and the two little guys got tired after a while. Chen Yuanming and Xiao Junyi hugged each other and conscientiously became a scooter. Xiao Junyi even carried the boy on his shoulders and ran like riding a big horse. Running back and forth, Xiao Xiao screamed and laughed, almost out of breath.Although the maintenance is quite good, this person is almost 40 years old this year. If he didn't insist on exercising all the year round, he would probably hit the ground after this pass.

Chen Yuanming smiled and hugged his little princess, and walked slowly through one animal hall after another.Due to the combination of the same matrilineal blood, the appearance of the two children is actually a bit similar, but the characteristics of each other's father are brought between the eyebrows and eyes.Xiao Chenchen's eyes are also slender and long, a bit peach-blossom-like, usually squinted charmingly, with a sweet curvature, looking the most innocent and harmless.But this little girl's character is a bit strange like him, she acts extremely calmly, she has to go through her mind carefully before doing things, she is smart and well-behaved, and the grandmothers who have few girls in the two families are so spoiled to the bone.

Seeing his daddy and elder brother running wildly in front, Xiaochen turned his head and hugged Chen Yuanming's neck suddenly.

"Dad is always at home recently..."

Chen Yuanming couldn't help laughing when the little girl's small voice came from his ear, "I'm not so busy at work recently, of course I want to go home and be with our little princess~"

"Hmm..." The little girl tightened her bracelet, "But why is Daddy always so worried? Daddy, are you going on a long journey? Will you be going for a long time?"

Chen Yuanming's hands tightened for a moment, then slowly relaxed, and gently patted his daughter's back, "Of course Dad won't travel far away. Chen Chen has grown up so fast recently, if he accidentally grows up, Dad will miss a lot Is there a chance for Bao Chenchen?"

The little girl raised her head, her slender eyes were full of steam, "Really? Didn't you lie to Chenchen?"

There was a slight pain in the bottom of my heart, and Chen Yuanming stretched out his little finger on purpose, "Don't lie to Chen Chen, why don't we pull a hook?"

Chenchen felt that she was already a big girl and shouldn't believe in the game of pulling the hook anymore, but she still bit her soft lower lip, stretched out her finger resolutely, and put it on Chen Yuanming's little finger, "Hanging on the hook for 100 years, cheating!" People are puppies!"

"Well, it's a puppy! Woof!" Chen Yuanming smiled and kissed his daughter, in exchange for the other party's silver-like laughter and a sweet kiss.

The little girl who dispelled her doubts became excited again and insisted on seeing the "Teddy Bears". After emphasizing several times that brown bears and teddy bears are really different, Chen Yuanming still carried her to visit the bears.Xiao Junyi was also sweating from exhaustion at this time, and obediently walked back with his son in his arms.

Looking at the other party's happy smile, Chen Yuanming stretched out his hand and took his free left hand. The family of four stood in front of Xiongshan and watched.After more than ten years of rehabilitation, Xiao Junyi's left hand has basically recovered, but there is still some gap in grip strength, but today he is holding it so tightly, as if he wants to melt Chen Yuanming into his own blood and bones.

The grip was almost painful, but it was real and persistent. Chen Yuanming didn't avoid it, but just squeezed it back with the same strength.

Today is a very special day for them.

On April 2008, 4, on that rainy night 23 years ago, Chen Yuanming died in a car accident.And today, there are only a few hours left before that night.

Panicked?fear?Reluctant?In fact, with more than ten years of experience, Chen Yuanming no longer cares so much. He has lived a very good life without disappointment, guilt or regret. He has treated this life kindly and reaped the most abundant rewards compensate.The shadow of death has long been erased from his mind.

But Xiao Junyi was different, he stuck tighter than ever before, so close that he could defend himself with him.What is hidden under the smile is urgency and anxiety, and the fear of the future.And this fear even infected their sensitive little daughter, making her terrified.

But what can Chen Yuanming do?Fate may be in his hands, but life and death are not decided by him.

Gently took Xiao Junyi's hand, and he kissed it, "Let's go, let's go shopping elsewhere."

That morning, they played wildly in the zoo all morning, and went to the amusement park to play for a long time after lunch, but before it was four o'clock, the two little guys were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes. People had to retreat hastily and took the children home to sleep.

Covering the two children with a thin quilt, Chen Yuanming just turned around and was hugged into a firm embrace. The kiss was so eager that it seemed to swallow people alive.Chen Yuanming returned the kiss, slowly adjusted the rhythm, and comforted the man in his arms.

After the long kiss, Chen Yuanming said with a smile, "Dong Xiao has been so hungry recently, I should..."

"Yuanming!" Xiao Junyi interrupted his words, hugged him even tighter, put his head on his shoulder, and repeated his name in a low voice, "Yuanming..."

"I'm here. I'm still here." Chen Yuanming wrapped his arms around his waist and gently stroked his back with his hand, "This is not the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway, and we haven't touched an Audi for many years. Jun Yi, I'm still by your side ..."

The slight trembling subsided, Xiao Junyi took a deep breath, and dragged him to the study on the second floor.On the balcony of the study room, there were two reclining chairs placed side by side. He pushed Chen Yuanming onto one of the reclining chairs, and he sat beside him, clasping the other's palm tightly with his hands.

Chen Yuanming knew what he meant, and he didn't resist.The two just sat on the deck chairs in the open air, watching the sunset glow gradually being swallowed up by the night. In Beijing in 2008, stars could no longer be seen in the night sky, and the blurred moon slowly climbed up the sky, sliding towards the center of the sky step by step.

The fingers of the two were held too tightly and for too long. In the end, they seemed to be able to feel the beating of each other's heart from their fingertips, just like a perfect concerto.At some point, a pleasant alarm sound came to the ears of the two of them suddenly, and Xiao Junyi turned his head, with indistinguishable joy in his eyes.

"time has passed."

The moment of his death, the moment that might take his life again.

Chen Yuanming replied with the same smile, "I'm still by your side, in our home. It's just that from now on, it may not be so powerful, and I can predict the future..."

"Precognition? We don't need it anymore, we don't need it anymore..."

A kiss fell on his lips, a bit salty and sweet at the same time.Chen Yuanming inserted his hand into the other's black hair, deepening the kiss and making it more passionate, like a new life between them.

After the kiss was over, Chen Yuanming pulled a little distance away, "I really want to push you down on the bed now, but I'm afraid it's time for the child to wake up, so I can only delay it for a few hours."

Xiao Junyi straightened up slowly, "It's okay, anyway, you still have plenty of time."

The smiles of the two are so similar, so tacit understanding.Chen Yuanming touched the corner of the other party's rosy lips, and stood up from the recliner, "Leave the dinner to me, and see how I feed you and your babies."

Turning around with a smile, he was about to walk into the house, but a hand grabbed him from behind and turned him back stubbornly.Chen Yuanming turned around with a smile, but froze on the spot, staring dumbly at the scene in front of him.I saw his lover, the father of his child, and his long-time partner kneeling on the open space of the balcony, holding a brocade box high with one hand.

The brocade box was open, and there were two identical rings lying in the middle.Made of platinum, without any patterns or ornaments, it is a pure white and flawless plain ring.The moonlight exudes a hazy and bright light, which seems to cast a layer of light on the two rings.

"Chen Yuanming, are you willing to give me every day in the future? In the unknown future, be with me every day and night."

The moonlight shone on that face that was no longer young but still handsome, solemn and majestic, with a seriousness like an oath before a god.Chen Yuanming's throat choked up, and he took two steps back slowly, knelt down on one knee with the same knee as the opponent, and pressed his forehead against the opponent's forehead.

"I am willing."

He took out the two rings in the box and rubbed them lightly with his fingertips. Not surprisingly, he found that the inner rings were engraved with characters the size of rice grains, which read "Yuan Ming" and "Jun Yi".He handed the one engraved with Junyi to the other party. The cold metal was warmed by the body temperature. They carefully squeezed the ring and put it on the lover's finger closest to the heart one after the other.

The size of the ring is perfect, as if it grew directly on the hand.The palms of the two were tightly intertwined, and the five fingers were interlaced, and the silver brilliance reflected in one place.

"In the unknowable future, every day until the end of my life, I will belong to you, and you will always belong to me alone."

Their companies have long been fused with each other's shares, and their blood has long been fused with the blood of their children. The ring was no longer important to them, but it has been given a new meaning.

Following the oath, a kiss fell, deep and sweet, like a seal stamped on a marriage certificate.

Downstairs, there was a shout. Xiao Xiao had already gotten up and was looking for his two fathers.Tiny smiles intertwined on their lips, they stood up, took a step, and walked downstairs side by side.

For a moment, the moonlight seemed to be polished, reflecting the backs of the two cuddling closely.
