classmate engagement

Jiang Muping seemed to have a premonition that Zhao Qingyu would have a big reaction. Thanks to his booing gesture, otherwise Zhao Qingyu might yell out on the spot.

Zhao Qingyu hesitated to speak with his neck stuck, and immediately turned and ran away after regaining consciousness.

Jiang Muping supported the nape of Cheng Yan's neck, and said, "I've been seen twice."

Cheng Yan is quite serious in front of other people, not as relaxed as he is in front of Jiang Mu. Buried in Jiang Muping's neck.

"The club is dead." Cheng Yan said helplessly.

"Brother Zhao is missing right now," Jiang Muping teased him, "Next time, work harder,? Try to let him run into each other too, so that we can have a family together."

Cheng Yan smiled and patted him on the back, "How will I face my underage cousin in a while?"

The aunt's loud voice echoed in the corridor: "Hey, didn't you tell your cousin to eat? Why did they come down so quickly? Where are they? Why are you so red?"

Cheng Yan raised his head, and looked at Jiang Muping with a complicated expression, "I'm a minor underage."

"We are legal partners." Jiang Muping emphasized, "Kissing is a normal behavior, and it reflects the love of husband and wife from a positive perspective. Such a situation should be set as a model,? Can it be regarded as spoiling a minor?"

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, stunned for a while, and smiled: "Professor Jiang's words are reasonable."

Jiang Muping hooked the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly, and said, "Go downstairs for dinner."

Zhao Jing placed the tableware in the main hall, and Zhao Qingyu and Zhao Jing's daughter were already seated at the dining table.How could Zhao Qingyu dare to look up and stare at the cup on the table? The blush on her face has dissipated, but her ears are still a little red.

Zhao Jing's daughter turned her head to stare at her ears, and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, your ears are so red, what's wrong?"

Zhao Qingyu gave a dry laugh: "It's a bit hot."

Zhao Jing's daughter touched her hand, "Really, I froze to death, but you are still hot. You touch my hand, it's super cold."

Zhao Qingyu's palms were really hot. She was so scared that she was sweating just now. She smiled and covered Zhao Jing's daughter's hands. When she looked up and saw Chengyan and Jiang Muping, her smile froze again.

Seeing her react so strongly, Cheng Yan was even more embarrassed than her. He was so old that he really couldn't understand the little girl's thoughts.Moreover, Cheng Yan didn't deal with juniors very much, so he didn't know how to resolve the embarrassment.

Jiang Muping sat down beside Zhao Qingyu, and Cheng Yan sat next to him.

Originally, Zhao Qingyu wanted to digest the scene she had just seen in silence, but unexpectedly, the person involved sat next to her.

Zhao Qingyu nervously picked up the water glass and took a sip, and heard Jiang Muping whisper, "Take it easy."

Zhao Qingyu paused while holding the cup, and glanced sideways at him.Her gaze collided with Jiang Muping lightly, and Jiang Muping's voice was very low: "I am your brother's legitimate husband, what you saw just now...is normal, there is no need to be too nervous."

Jiang Muping's words made Zhao Qingyu relax a little. She held the water glass and smiled embarrassedly.

Aunt brought out hot dishes and asked Chengyan, "Where did you go in the afternoon?"

"I went to see my former master."

"Teach you to tattoo?"

"Ah."

My aunt raised her head and recalled, "Ah, I remember, it seems to be a foreigner?"

"Mixed race, his father is a foreigner, but his mother is not."

"Oh, yes, I remember that he looks like a foreigner, and he looks quite handsome."

Cheng Yan hummed casually, and heard his aunt suddenly ask: "Then the man is not young, what are you doing now? Is he still tattooing people? Are you married?"

My aunt usually likes to match young men and women of the right age in the village when she has nothing to do. Now she is a bit of an occupational disease.

Cheng Yan smiled, took out his mobile phone, and joked, "Let me ask for you."

The aunt took it seriously, and pointed at his mobile phone with a serious face: "Oh, yes, please help me quickly and ask if there are any photos? If there are any, show me."

"I'm just joking with you." Chengyan put down his phone, "I'm older than me, over 40, probably not married, I don't know if he's single or not, but he's not good, most people can't handle it, so don't take this porcelain alive."

"Haven't I done any porcelain work? You can show me his photo first—"

Zhao Jing came over with the dinner plate in both hands, "Ouch, old lady, you are still thinking about being a matchmaker during Chinese New Year, let's put this matter aside for now, and you go to the kitchen to help your daughter-in-law first?"

The old lady stared: "You don't know how to help yourself!"

Zhao Jing showed the plate in his hand, "I'm helping here, right?"

The old lady walked towards the kitchen in a muttering voice, and when she left, she still told Chengyan: "Find me the photo, I'll come and see it later."

Cheng Yan added WeChat with He Xuan in the afternoon, and the two of them haven't spoken a word until now. Cheng Yan thought that a person like He Xuan would definitely not post his own photos in Moments, so he entered He Xuan without any hope. circle of friends, only to find that there is actually a photo of him in it.

He Xuan's circle of friends is all open, but there are very few posts. The latest post is his photo, so Cheng Yan can see it as soon as he enters.

Chengyan arched Jiang Muping's arm, and shared this rare event with him with a look of surprise: "There are actually photos in his circle of friends."

Jiang Muping's expression was indifferent, and he glanced down.

Cheng Yan clicked on the photo and looked at it. He took it. There was a sea behind He Xuan. The sun was setting, and the sea was dyed orange by the afterglow of the setting sun.This photo should be a snapshot. In the photo, He Xuan was stepping barefoot on the beach, holding shoes in his hand, and looking back at the camera.

The photo composition is very professional and has a sense of atmosphere.However, the words on the top of the photo made Chengyan suspect that this circle of friends was not posted by He Xuan, it was too energetic and not like He Xuan's style.

Cheng Yan swiped down, and as expected, among He Xuan's few sporadic updates, only this one had a different painting style.

Cheng Yan was very engrossed in watching it. Apart from that photo, he also scrolled through other news. Jiang Muping stared at the phone screen for a while, and suddenly asked casually: "A Yan, when did you know that you like men? ?”

His voice was not loud, and it only flowed between the two of them. Zhao Qingyu who was at the side was playing a mobile game with Zhao Jing's daughter, and did not hear their conversation.

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"curious."

Cheng Yan was a little confused: "I don't really remember, it should be when I first established the studio?"

The reason why Jiang Muping suddenly asked this was because he had an outrageous guess—whether the object of enlightenment of the rock's sexuality would be He Xuan.

However, this speculation can be preliminarily ruled out now.

"Why do you ask this?" Cheng Yan leaned against Jiang Muping involuntarily, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were so beautiful that he could seduce people even if he blinked, "What about you? When did you know?"

"high school."

Cheng Yan paused, and slowly sat up straight, "... so early?"

He looked at Jiang Muping, and his high school appearance appeared in his mind. At this moment, fragments of the past time flashed back and forth, and Cheng Yan seemed to have returned to high school.He turned into another diagenetic person. This diagenetic person knew that Jiang Muping liked boys, so he paid attention to the details related to Jiang Muping in obscurity. This time, every detail seemed to have a different feeling.

"I thought the monitor only cared about studying." Cheng Yan looked at him.

Jiang Muping laughed: "I don't have puppy love."

"I didn't even think about this at the time." Cheng Yan said.

Not to mention realizing that he likes men, Cheng Yan is ignorant of the ambiguity between men and women.

Jiang Muping suddenly raised his hand, curled two fingers to caress the protruding Adam's apple, and said in a low voice, "You mature late, of course you can't think of this."

Cheng Yan's neck was numb, and his fingertips were crisp.

"Your voice changed so late," Jiang Muping approached his ear, "It's normal for you to be late in your emotional enlightenment."

Cheng Yan tilted his head slightly, and the tips of their noses were almost touching.

"If the monitor had taught me at that time, wouldn't my emotional enlightenment be earlier." Cheng Yan looked into his eyes and asked.

"If the squad leader teaches you this," Jiang Muping said in a low voice, "this is the real way to bring down minors."

"Serve a batch of dishes first." Zhao Jing's voice came from the kitchen to the main hall, "Let's eat, let's eat."

"Dad, I want to drink that Coke."

"What kind of Coke do you drink in winter?"

"You bought it! Why don't you drink it!"

My aunt came over wiping her hands, "You gave her a drink, didn't you just buy it for her specially, it's New Year's Eve, don't worry about it, drink whatever you like."

"Xiaoyan, I asked you to find the photo, did you find it?"

"I found it."

My aunt sat down next to him, "Show me."

Cheng Yan clicked on the photo in He Xuan's circle of friends, and when his aunt saw it, she was taken aback by his colorful arm: "The tattoo on this arm, this girl can't run away after seeing it?!"

"He doesn't like girls."

Auntie glanced at Chengyan: "Do you like men?"

"Ah."

"Is this forty?" Auntie took Chengyan's cell phone, held it a little farther away, squinted her eyes and looked at it, "It doesn't look like it, I'll ask around to see if there is any young man looking for someone. He looks very handsome, look at how straight his nose is, and he looks tall."

"How's your income? Do you have a house or a car?"

Cheng Yan is not sure: "I don't know, I haven't seen him for many years. But the income should not be low, and he is very skilled."

Speaking of He Xuan, Cheng Yan remembered that he had to call him.

"Auntie, I'm going out to make a phone call."

Aunt gave him the phone, "Who are you calling?"

Cheng Yan pointed to the phone screen, "Give it to me, Master."

After Cheng Yan left, his aunt got up to pick up some food for Jiang Muping, and said, "Xiaoyan has a very good relationship with his master, and we still keep in touch after so many years. He and Zhao Jing are not so familiar."

Zhao Jing clicked his tongue: "Old lady, don't fan the flames and cause conflicts. He is a master who teaches crafts. You think Chengyan is living so well now. Isn't it because he learned a craft from his master back then?" .”

"Then Xiaoyan has to be promising himself!"

Zhao Jing nodded again and again: "You are right."

Cheng Yan walked into the courtyard and called He Xuan on WeChat, and the answer was very fast.

"Happy New Year." Cheng Yan said.

"Happy New Year."

"Are you having New Year's Eve dinner?"

"eating."

Chengyan was a little surprised: "Isn't it just a new year?"

"Think about it again. Are you worried that I will spend the New Year's Eve alone, so you made a special phone call to express condolences?"

Cheng Yan said bluntly: "Yes."

"Chengyan," He Xuan poured some shochu into the cup, "You really are getting more and more sensible as you get older."

He Xuan is like this, his words don't bring any lethality, but they are intimidating.

Cheng Yan smiled: "The older you get, the less sensible it is, which is a bit unreasonable. Let me tell you something, my aunt wants to be a matchmaker for you."

"Thank you for her kindness. I don't need it now."

"It seems that they are really in a relationship." Cheng Yan smiled, "Xiang classmate? He also took the photo in the circle of friends, right?"

"privacy."

"Tsk."

My aunt glanced outside the house, "Why haven't you made a phone call yet? There are so many things to talk about?"

Zhao Jing ordered some food for his daughter, and said, "They're both tattoo artists, and they're both masters and apprentices. Of course, that's a lot."

While speaking, Cheng Yan walked in from outside the house.

My aunt said "Hi": "It's over, let's sit down and eat, the food should be cold!"

When approaching 07:30, Zhao Jing turned on the TV in the living room, and the Spring Festival Gala was warming up.This time they had almost eaten, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks echoed outside, intertwined with the laughter and laughter on the table, and the flavor of the new year was strong.

Jiang Muping sent the prepared red envelopes to Zhao Qingyu and Zhao Jing's daughter, the little girl happily accepted it, but Zhao Qingyu quickly waved her hand and refused.

"According to seniority, brother Cheng and I should be of the same generation. You are married to him, and I am also of the same generation as you. You can't accept this lucky money."

"The same generation can also collect lucky money." Cheng Yan said.

Zhao Qingyu still shook her head and refused to accept.

Jiang Muping held the red envelope, looked at her, and said, "Take it, if you think it's inappropriate to accept New Year's money from your peers, treat it as my hush money for you."

Zhao Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what Jiang Muping meant. Her ears turned red, and she couldn't stop laughing: "Didn't you say that was normal? Why did you still keep my mouth shut?"

"After all, your cousin has a thin skin."

Cheng Yan smiled and said nothing.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, my aunt was going to play mahjong at someone else's house. Since there were guests at home, she wanted to stay with Cheng Yan for a while, so she honestly watched the Spring Festival Gala at home.

Halfway through, someone came directly to the house and asked her to play mahjong. She glanced at Cheng Yan, her will wavered, and she finally left with him.

When it was almost midnight, Jiang Muping received a transoceanic call from Shao Yuandong, a video call from New Zealand.

"How about it, is my wife's hometown fun?"

Jiang Muping didn't wear earphones, and Shao Yuandong's voice was directly released. Zhao Jing's wife and Zhao Qingyu both turned their heads when they heard the sound, and Cheng Yan glanced at Jiang Muping's phone screen.

Jiang Muping looked at the screen, "I released it publicly, so be careful what you say."

It was already past midnight in New Zealand, and Jiang Muping was a little puzzled: "Isn't it a few hours earlier in New Zealand? Why are you calling now?"

"It's Chinese people, of course they have to celebrate the New Year according to China's time." Shao Yuandong took the phone forward and took a picture of the other people behind him, "Everyone, pay New Year's greetings to our professor.Jan."

There were chattering voices from the mobile phone, mixed with various languages. Jiang Muping felt a little noisy, so he stood up and said to Cheng Yan, "I'll go outside."

Cheng Yan hummed, and heard Shao Yuandong say: "You point the camera at your wife, they all want to see it."

Jiang Muping had gone far away, but Chengyan still vaguely heard him say: "Why did I show it to you?"

Shao Yuandong also felt a little noisy around him, so he found a quieter corner and wanted to have a good conversation with Jiang Muping.

"Jan, you don't look very interested, and you pretend to be deep after Chinese New Year."

"I've encountered a little problem recently." Jiang Muping walked to the yard and sat down on the hanging chair under the grape vines.

"What's the problem? Relationship problem? You two are not in a marriage crisis, are you?"

"I was in crisis."

"What kind of crisis?" Shao Yuandong didn't know, "tell me."

"It seems that after getting married, I became very jealous, and I couldn't restrain this emotion well."

Shao Yuandong was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "You have today too!"

Then, Jiang Muping heard Shao Yuandong laugh for half a minute, he gasped and said, "Is this the world of old virgins? I see it."

Jiang Muping originally wanted to ask someone to explain it, after all he didn't like the feeling of being jealous at every turn, who knew that Shao Yuandong was useless at all.

"If you are jealous, you will be jealous, and you are so fucking jealous. You are indeed a professor, and you can talk about jealousy in such a high-sounding way."

Before Shao Yuandong finished laughing, Cheng Yan came out of the house at this time, and the fireworks in the sky became more and more brilliant, and it was almost midnight.

Shao Yuandong saw Cheng Yan walking from behind through the camera, and pouted his chin at Jiang Muping: "Your wife who made you jealous is here."

Jiang Muping turned his head, then glanced at the screen, and said, "Hang up."

"Hey, come on, it's not even midnight yet, I haven't said my congratulations yet, happy new year, professor. Jan, in the new year, continue to taste the pain of love hahahahahaha——"

Jiang Muping hung up the video with a snap.

Shao Yuandong probably drank a lot of wine, and he was not so evasive at ordinary times, even Cheng Yan was a little terrified: "Shao Yuandong drank fake wine? Why are you laughing like this?"

Jiang Muping hummed: "It's poisoned my brain."

Cheng Yan laughed, Jiang Muping moved to the side to make room for Cheng Yan, and Cheng Yan sat down beside him.

The night sky was very bright, with bright fireworks flickering, and it was midnight within half a minute after Cheng Yan sat down. The villagers set off their cannons, and there were concentrated firecrackers in the sky.

A bit noisy, but a great vibe.

"Happy New Year, Professor."

Jiang Muping took out a red envelope from his coat pocket and gave it to Cheng Yan, "Happy New Year."

It was a thick stack, and Cheng Yan knew at a glance that there must be tens of thousands of money inside. He looked at Jiang Muping and smiled: "I still have red envelopes."

"Ah."

Cheng Yan took it, feeling heavy, he opened it and flipped the money inside, deliberately said: "It must be [-], Qing Yu and the others only took [-], professor, are you partial?"

"Forget it." Jiang Muping touched his fingertips, "Aren't you a money fan? You'll spend this money in a few days. Are you, a money fan?"

"I'll try to extend it for a while." Cheng Yan shook hands with his index fingers.

Cheng Yan leaned over and kissed Jiang Muping's face, smiling with eyes crooked: "Thank you, baby."
