compassion

Thank you starfish, bosses~~ Let's take a break tomorrow~

A year flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the year is over and the Spring Festival is coming again.

The memory of the last Spring Festival seems to be very close.

Snow scenes, hot springs, juicy trees, guards, and confessions.

Shen Heng selectively forgets those unhappy memories, leaving only the images related to Xie Zhang for collection.

The relationship between Liu Tang and the doctor had stabilized, and Little Bean Sprout got along very well with the doctor's little boy, often showing off the snacks and toys her brother bought her.

Although the wedding date has not been set yet, the two families are already celebrating the Spring Festival together

Xie Zhang didn't want Liu Tang to miss the elders of Yuan Zheng's family, so he simply took Shen Heng back to his grandfather's county town for the Spring Festival.

Shen Heng always knew that Xie Zhang's parents passed away early, but he didn't expect that his grandparents were still alive. He was not mentally prepared to see his parents before, so he panicked immediately.

——But I don't want Xie Zhang to see it.

He secretly searched "What preparations should be done when meeting parents for the first time" several times, searched both versions of "Meeting Boyfriend's Parents" and "Meeting Girlfriend's Parents", and began to worry about what should be given to parents. It would be appropriate for Xie Zhang's grandfather and grandmother to buy some meeting gifts.

He chewed the word "decent" over and over again, but at night, Xie Zhang told him: "We don't live at home, and we have already asked our assistant to book a hotel. Just bring two changes of clothes."

Shen Heng was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Xie Zhang knew at a glance that this silly boy must have been nervous during the day, so he raised his hand and rubbed his hair, teasing him and said, "My grandfather is very fierce, I'm afraid I'll scare you. Tsk, I haven't heard the rumors before." , my grandfather is very powerful, he is a more ruthless character than me, I have a firm foothold in the Xie family because of my grandfather as a backer."

Shen Heng remembered the rumors he had heard the year before last, and since he was with Xie Zhang, he had assumed that those rumors were all nonsense, but now he was bluffed by Xie Zhang again: "Really...?"

Xie Zhang said, "Really."

Shen Heng became more worried, grabbed Xie Zhang's fingers, and said in a serious voice, "I won't be scared, I want to be with you."

Xie Zhang's heart was suddenly poked into a soft spot.

This silly kid.

He hugged Shen Heng's waist, kissed Shen Heng's brow, and said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. Grandpa and grandma are not fierce, but I haven't been home for many years, they are not used to living at home."

This time it's the truth.

Xie Zhang and Yuan Zheng got acquainted because of revealing their sexual orientation. The news spread quickly in the small county town, from the children to their parents, and became the talk of the neighbors. Some shy away from it, and sometimes it is said that I lose face, so I say: "This is from my uncle's house, and I have to go back to his grandparents."

Inside the words, it means that this is not from our family.

But when they got home, the biggest piece of ribs was still given to Xie Zhang, who was not in their family.

Xie Zhang can’t blame the two old people. It’s difficult for people of their age to accept homosexuality, so he and his grandparents are neither close nor estranged. After all, most of his childhood and his entire adolescence , all spent at my grandfather's house.

Shen Heng wasn't sure if Xie Zhang was teasing him again, but the original nervousness was gone.

He hugged Xie Zhang back and said, "Anyway, we are together."

It was snowing on the day we went back, and we couldn't get on the highway, so the two lived in the urban area first, and planned to go to the county seat early the next morning.

Fortunately, Assistant Xie Zhang was considerate. He thought of preventing bad weather early in the morning and booked a hotel for them in the urban area.

Small cities develop slowly and do not change with each passing day. Xie Zhang feels that the urban area is not much different from what it was three or five years ago.

His cold heart is really cold, he never feels sorry for himself, nor does he feel sorry for himself, and when he came back here after a few years, he didn't feel any emotion. On the contrary, Shen Heng was a little happy when he hugged Xie Zhang's arm when he went to bed at night. Said: "Brother, I feel a little closer to you."

The next day is still overcast, but the highway has been unblocked.

The two of them took a taxi from the hotel in the urban area back to the small county where Xie Zhang's grandpa's family was located, checked in first, and then went to visit Yuan Zheng's parents in the afternoon.

The supplements for the new year are handled by Xie Zhang's assistant, and they are sent to the hotel in advance, and enough money is given to replace the storage, so the packaging is kept quite well.

I just didn't expect that Yuan Zheng's house was not as deserted as Xie Zhang thought.

When I got out of the elevator, I saw a young man pasting blessings at the door. Xie Zhang brought Shen Heng in, and saw an aunt who was about the same age as Yuan Zheng's mother watching TV with Yuan Zheng's mother. There were two Douding children running in the living room. baby.

Shen Heng was a little dumbfounded, tugged at Xie Zhang's sleeve, and asked, "Brother, did we go wrong?"

As confident as Xie Zhang, it is rare to have a little self-doubt. He used to be withdrawn, and his reputation was not very good. He had never visited Yuan Zheng's house, and he asked Liu Tang for the address this year.

But Xie Zhang was always able to stand it, he stood at the door and asked the young man who was about to enter the door after posting the blessing: "Is this the home of Mr. Yuan Ziqing?"

After asking, I found out that I was not wrong. This young man was the victim of a case handled by Yuan Zheng, and his life was rescued by Yuan Zheng. The aunt’s daughter in the room was the victim of another case, but his life I didn't snatch it back, I just snatched back the time to give birth to the twins in my stomach.

These people met at Yuan Zheng's memorial service. They knew that Police Officer Yuan was the only child, and they were afraid that their benefactor's parents would be lonely during the Chinese New Year. Together, they all came to accompany Yuan Zheng's parents to celebrate the New Year if they were free.

This stupid big guy, indeed, stupid people have stupid blessings.

Xie Zhang felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it, put down his things, and took Shen Heng away with an excuse.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not strictly prohibited in the small county town. There are a lot of paper scraps scattered in the snow after the firecrackers exploded, which looks quite messy.

He sent Liu Tang a WeChat message, telling her to celebrate the New Year without worrying about this place, and then for the first time in history, he lit a cigarette in front of Shen Heng.

Shen Heng is honest. In high school, many people in his class learned to smoke. He had never touched it. He coughed because of the second-hand smoke, but he was very close to Xie Zhang and called him in a low voice: "Brother."

Hearing his cough, Xie Zhang took a sharp puff and choked out the cigarette again, saying, "Let's go, go back and have a rest, I'll see my parents tomorrow."

In the heavy snow, Shen Heng thought of Xie Zhang who was in the rain in the Qingming Festival last year.

His brother's heart is hard, but the harder his heart is, the more likely he will be hurt if he has a little weakness.

Shen Heng didn't have any more ways to comfort others, so he still grabbed Xie Zhang's hand and said, "Brother, brother Yuan is a good man and rewards him...you too."

Xie Zhang raised his hand and waved the smoke, saying, "I'm not a good person, I may want evil people to be rewarded with evil."

Shen Heng didn't like him talking about himself like that, and when he was in a hurry, he lost his mind: "You are my good man!"

In this matter, it was indeed "good people get rewarded", he just brought back this stupid puppy with a little compassion that was rare in thousands of years.

Xie Zhang laughed, and the puff of smoke he just spit out took away a little bit of pain in his heart, and said to Shen Heng: "Then——you are my beloved."
