Sheng Ci was woken up the next day by the sound of the door opening.

He struggled to open his foggy eyes. Mingxu was standing at the door and had just slowly closed the door, holding an insulated box in his hand.

"Woke you up?" Mingxu stood motionless.

Sheng Ci sat up, closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "No."

He opened his arms, but his eyes were still closed, his hair was disheveled, his expression was sleepy, and he said to Ming Xu with a nasal voice that just woke up: "Teacher Ming, give me a hug."

Mingxu put the insulated box on the cabinet, patted the frost and snow on her body, and said, "I'm very cold now, I'll hug you later."

Sheng Ci lowered his arms, lowered his head and said "Okay", as if he was about to fall asleep at any time.Ming Xu waited until his body was warmer before walking over to hug Sheng Ci and saying, "It's snowing outside."

"The snow is a bit late this year, and it's the first day of the Lunar New Year." Sheng Ci rubbed against Ming Xu's arms: "It snowed in mid-December last year."

Sheng Ci was sleepy and wanted to continue sleeping, but Ming Xu didn't stop him.But since Sheng Ci asked Mingxu what was in the insulated box, he ran into the bathroom with his legs loose.

During the Spring Festival, the pan-fried bun shop in the south of the city was closed. Mingxu thought that Sheng Ci would want to eat it, so he went back to the apartment early to make some according to the tutorial.

Sheng Ci ate with great relish on the bed with the insulated box in his arms, only halfway through eating did he remember that Ming Xu never gave him food to eat on the bed in the past.

He sneaked a glance at Mingxu, but Mingxu misunderstood him and said 'You eat, I don't eat'.

He smiled with his mouth puffed out, and Mingxu couldn't help poking his cheek.

When it was close to noon, Mingxu was going to take Shengci back to the apartment, but Shengci asked Mingxu to go back first, and he might be late.

Mingxu was reluctant and asked 'why'.

Sheng Ci blinked, looked at Ming Xu sincerely two seconds later, and said, "Because Zhang Yang's parents asked me to come over, they treated me very well, there should be something wrong."

Ming Xu still didn't want to be separated from Sheng Ci, so he asked again: "Can't I go together?"

Sheng Ci suddenly didn't know what to say.

He received a text message in the morning from Ming Xu's secretary, saying that he had something to discuss with Sheng Ci alone.Sheng Ci thought that if Mingxu's secretary wanted to ask him out in private, he definitely didn't want Mingxu to know about it.

He couldn't risk losing his job on his secretary's head.

"Mr. Ming, it's not impossible." Sheng Ci patiently began to lie: "Zhang Yang's parents are very good to me. If you go there with me, it's like meeting the parents. You can't be too abrupt when you meet the parents. The timing is not right now, do you understand? ?”

"You have to make a good impression on them." Sheng Ci began to brainwash: "You don't like when they mention you in the future, there is a little flaw?"

Mingxu thought for a while, if it was someone who was very important to Sheng Ci, of course he didn't want to have flaws.

"Then what time are you going to be? I'll pick you up." Ming Xu made the next best thing, "Don't be too late, have dinner with me."

Sheng Ci wondered how Mingxu became so cute, and agreed with a smile, prolonging the final sound: "Okay~"

After a brief lunch with Sheng Ci, Ming Xu went back to the apartment first.He originally wanted to send Sheng Ci to Zhang Yang's house, but Sheng Ci excused that Zhang Yang's parents would come to pick him up, so he was relieved and no longer attached.

Before he went back, he kissed Sheng Ci at the entrance, and after getting off the elevator, he asked Sheng Ci for a farewell kiss.After that, I still don’t forget to tell Shengci, remember to wear more when going out.

But Sheng Ci's thoughts were all on his lips, his lips were very red, and the secretary didn't know what he would think when he saw it.

Fortunately, when the secretary arrived, he just took a look and didn't say anything.

The secretary insisted on coming to the hotel, not letting Sheng Ci go to her.When Sheng Ci greeted her downstairs, she was wearing a knee-length thick black down jacket, she was not as capable as usual, and her body was a bit clumsy.What's even stranger is a bouquet of flowers that doesn't match her attire at all.

It was a handful of red roses that were stale, somewhat wilted, and darkened in color.

Sheng Ci was a little confused.

All the way to the hotel room, the secretary had a faint smile on his face.Sheng Ci asked the secretary to sit on the sofa, and poured him hot water that had been boiled in advance.

The secretary put the red rose on the table, took the water and held it in both hands to keep warm, and said 'thank you'.

"Excuse me." After getting out of the ice and snow, the secretary smiled comfortably, "Oh, I really worry about my boss."

Sheng Ci heard the word 'boss' and immediately asked 'what's the matter'.

"Don't worry, don't worry," the secretary blew on the steaming water in the cup, and went straight to the topic: "The boss called you on his birthday, right?"

Sheng Ci nodded and said 'yes'.

"He was waiting for you outside the school gate that day. He waited for you all night." The secretary took a sip lightly, and wrinkled his face because it was too hot, "This bouquet of roses was what he wanted to give you at that time." .”

She put down the cup, picked up the roses, and handed Sheng Ci: "The boss went to the flower shop to pick out all the procedures from the clerk temporarily. He said that he didn't know if you like it or not, but that many people gave it to you." Red roses are given to lovers."

Sheng Ci stared at the red rose, which was already completely unattractive, and leaned forward to smell it, but could not smell a trace of fragrance.

"I wanted to throw it away, but after thinking about it, I think I should tell you." The secretary took out a white, rectangular card from his pocket, "It was written by the boss, and I put it away."

Sheng Ci took it, but just held it in the palm of his hand, and didn't open it immediately to read it.He didn't know what Mingxu would write for him, but considering Mingxu's personality, it wouldn't be too nasty.

While looking forward to it, he began to imagine Mingxu's birthday, and because he wanted to see him, he went to pick a red rose, and wrote down his heart word by word.

But how did Sheng Ci react?

He didn't go to accompany Mingxu, and even hung up the phone because he didn't want Mingxu to know that he was crying because of him.

Mingxu waited for him all night.

For several hours, eighteen missed calls, every minute and every second of suffering, Mingxu must be very sad.He may have lowered his head and pursed his lips at that time, or he may have been talking nonsense, he must have looked unconfident, flustered and sad, just like Ming Xu who cried in front of Sheng Ci last night.

Sheng Ci suddenly felt a growing soreness in his eye sockets.

"Don't blame me for talking too much, I knew when you were together." The secretary's voice softened a little: "The boss rarely travels on business, and sometimes he will come back within a day, or he will go back and forth between the two cities day and night. Also, although the boss is very busy, he will definitely rush back as soon as possible, and then continue to be busy."

"I couldn't figure out why the boss was so troublesome, until one day he suddenly asked me, what should I do if the child at home has a bad stomach and is not obedient? He also asked me if I have any food recipes to nourish the stomach." How surprised the secretary's reaction was at that time, How happy is the smile now: "I think he should go back early to cook for you."

Sheng Ci recalled the time he was caught because Ming Xu returned early, his throat tightened, and he nodded and said 'yes'.

"If I don't tell you, the boss won't. Then you won't know." The secretary took a sip of hot water and said, "You should know how important you are to the boss."

She sighed again after she finished speaking, and said jokingly: "The boss is doing well, and I will be fine."

Almost after seeing off the secretary, Sheng Ci called the car in advance, packed the suitcase, and went downstairs to take the car to the apartment.

He urged the driver, but also told the driver to be careful on the slippery road in snowy weather.The driver looked at the man with contradictory words and anxious emotions behind him, and he couldn't say anything to blame, but comforted him instead.

The corners of Sheng Ci's eyes are very red, people who don't know may think it's cold red, but it's because he wiped his tears.

The secretary's words are vivid in my memory, like hot water spilled on my frozen body in winter, it is the pain that I realized later and stimulated the dull nerves.

He felt that he was bad, because he was too impatient and ignored Mingxu's love.She also felt that Mingxu was stupid, she loved her but was not good at expressing her love.

If it is said that in this relationship, Mingxu loves in the wrong way, then he did not give Mingxu enough peace of mind, he did not calm down to feel the details of Mingxu, but let bad emotions take over his brain.

He encountered a problem and didn't think about how to solve it, but chose to escape from Mingxu.

He should accept Minxu's accusations and complaints, because he is really not good enough.

Because of him, Mingxu can go home early to cook for him, and because of his bad stomach, he can learn how to nourish his stomach.You can even take two planes a day, just to go back to him and be with him.

All these troublesome things are undoubtedly a waste of time, but Mingxu cherishes time the most.

When the car arrived at the apartment building, Sheng Ci hastily thanked the driver.There was some snow on the wheels of the suitcase, and it was not Uncle Wang who was on duty in the community today, but another person.Sheng Ci greeted him, pressed the elevator, and finally pressed the button for the sixteenth floor.

He didn't ask Mingxu to pick him up, and he went back to the apartment without prior notice.

The doorbell rang under the cold and stiff hands, and it took half a minute before Mingxu came to open the door.Sheng Ci pushed the suitcase in, then bent his knees and jumped vigorously, hanging on Mingxu's body.

Ming Xu staggered back a step or two by the sudden movement, then stood still, closed the door, put both hands on Sheng Ci's buttocks, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did you come back by yourself?"

"I bought you a birthday present that day, and it was a tie in the suitcase, which suits you very well." Sheng Ci lay on Mingxu's shoulder mindlessly and muttered: "It's so expensive, but thinking of Teacher Ming wearing it, It looks good on the Internet, so I bought it."

Ming Xu brought him to the living room, and was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Before he could figure out why Sheng Ci would suddenly talk about his birthday, Sheng Ci suddenly raised his head, looked at him, and said excitedly, "How about having a cake tonight? I'll make it."

"Are you sure?" Mingxu asked worriedly, and then reminded him friendly, "It's not easy to make a cake."

Sheng Ci lifted Mingxu's cheek, "Don't doubt me, can't you help me too?"

The threat reveals coquettishness and dependence, Mingxu quickly loses the battle, loses his reason, and cannot hear the protest of his stomach.He put the pomp on the couch and said 'well then'.

Sheng Ci stared at Ming Xu, with mixed emotions in his eyes, it was difficult for Ming Xu to distinguish clearly, only felt that Sheng Ci's eyes were extremely soft and peaceful.He stroked Sheng Ci's collarbone, leaned over and kissed Sheng Ci.After a while, the two lay on the sofa, their limbs intertwined, and their body temperature quickly rose to a certain level.

"Teacher Ming, actually..." Ming Xu gagged his mouth before Sheng Ci finished speaking, and when he parted again, his voice was mixed with heavy panting: "I don't like red roses, I like white roses .”

He quickly went on to say: "Valentine's Day, on Valentine's Day, send me a bouquet of white roses."

Mingxu reacted for a while, then pursed her lower lip, as if embarrassed.Sheng Ci hooked his neck, kissed his chin, and asked him, "Are you okay?"

He kept nibbling and kissing until Mingxu said 'yes'.

The snow outside the window was falling one after another, and the wind, wrapped in a rare gentleness, gently patted on the window, like a blessing about exhortation.The card in the pocket fell silently on the white carpet because of the action of undressing.

Mingxu on the card is clumsy and affectionate, and the light and thin card carries his seriousness and tenderness.

he wrote 'Sheng Ci'

'Don't be unhappy'

'come back to me quickly'

Episode 18 Going Out to Play

"Mr. Ming, you should wear this!" Sheng Ci shook his hands on the shoulders of the clothes, and said, "Go out and play, you don't need to wear a suit."

Ming Xu looked at the blue short-sleeved T-shirt that day, which was very casual.He glanced up at his Sheng Ci again, Sheng Ci's eyes blinked and blinked, and the flickering broken light shone in his pupils.

With just one glance, he knew that he would lose to Sheng Ci.

"Okay." Mingxu took the T-shirt and put it on the bed.Then he began to loosen his tie and unbutton his coat.His chin was raised slightly, and his slender fingers looked slowly on each button.Until finally all the clothes were taken off, revealing her well-proportioned figure.

His muscular lines are clear, his abdominal muscles are well-defined, full of strength and beauty.Sheng Ci couldn't take his eyes off, and he always admired Mingxu's self-management ability.

This man is in his 30s.

Mingxu picked up the blue T-shirt on the bed, and was about to put it on her head, when suddenly there was a soft and moist touch in her abdomen.

He put on the clothes, still pinching the corners of the clothes with both hands, looking down, the lips of the perpetrator were printed on his abdominal muscles, looking up at him with big innocent eyes.

For some reason, the air-conditioned room still made him feel very hot and dry.

"you…"

"Mr. Ming, hurry up!" The instigator came to his senses, and walked quickly to the door of the room, holding the doorknob tightly in his hand, and blamed him in an unreasonable manner: "Why are you so procrastinating, it's already eleven o'clock , not much time."

The feeling of touch stays in the abdomen and has not dissipated for a long time.Mingxu put on her clothes and stared at Sheng Ci.After a while, he smiled lightly, walked up to hold Sheng Ci's hand, and said, "Let's go back early tonight."

Sheng Ci swallowed nervously, thinking that it was over, he somehow started a fire, the fire crackled, and the sparks jumped out and burned himself.

The flow of people on National Day is too impressive, even if the sun is scorching hot, the streets are crowded with people.Sheng Ci is wearing a ginger yellow short-sleeved T-shirt, black cropped pants, a canvas shoulder bag, and canvas shoes. He has a bright smile and looks like a student.

Ming Xu glanced at the two of them through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the street, and felt that she was really old-fashioned walking beside Sheng Ci.

I don't know if Sheng Ci is too youthful, or Ming Xu's mature style is attractive, but they have a high rate of returning heads when they walk together, and they are not low-key.In the distance, two little girls in floral skirts came towards them, holding mobile phones in their hands, with a clear goal.

Even though the brim of the hat was wide, Ming Xu could still see the excited expressions on the faces of the girls.Two little girls stopped in front of them, and one of them, a girl in a white skirt, was braver. She showed the QR code on her phone in front of Sheng Ci, and asked, "Little brother, rubbing shoulders is also a fate that I cultivated in my previous life. The weather today is so bad." Ok, can I add WeChat?"

It's the fourth one, Mingxu secretly wrote it down in her heart.

Another girl in a green skirt echoed her friend's words, looking at Mingxu, but it was probably because Mingxu's expression was too indifferent, she held the phone and said nothing to Mingxu.

Sheng Ci smiled and politely refused: "I'm sorry, I can't give it, I'm really sorry."

After listening to these rhetoric, the girl carefully judged the smile on Sheng Ci's face, and after some quick mental deliberation, she confirmed that the little brother in front of her had a girlfriend.

Although she was disappointed, she could only sigh that there was no destiny.Just as I was about to encourage my friend to ask for another person's WeChat account, I saw the taller man holding the hand of the little brother in the yellow T-shirt.

"I'm sorry, the reason I can't give it is," Sheng Ci glanced at Mingxu, squeezed Mingxu's fingers, and continued, "It's been many times today, and my boyfriend is so jealous hehe."

Two little girls: "!!!"

Sheng Ci scratched his ears, happily and shyly accepted the two girls' blessings and old mother's exhortations.Passers-by on the street looked sideways, and the girls would say "don't be afraid".

"I'm not afraid," Sheng Ci said generously, "We're very happy."

After saying goodbye to the two girls, Sheng Ci felt that his palms were so hot that he was sweating. He wanted to let go, but Mingxu didn't let go.

"It's hot, my palms are sweating." Sheng Ci struggled, but didn't break away, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ming, are you so jealous?"

Mingxu dragged him forward, not very happy on his face.Sheng Ci tugged at his hands, and shouted from behind with a smile, "Teacher Ming?"

Teacher Ming ignored him.

He dragged his steps again, asking Mingxu to drag him away.He shook Ming Xu's hand sharply, but still smiled and called, "Boss Ming?"

Boss Ming seems to be deaf.

Sheng Ci simply squatted down, and the canvas bag on his shoulder almost fell to the ground.He seemed to be cheating, holding Mingxu's hand with both hands, preventing him from going any further.

"you…"

"I'm hungry." Sheng Ci immediately said when Ming Xu turned around, "My stomach is rumbling."

"Besides," Sheng Ci took advantage of his strength to stand up, patted his backpack, and said, "Why are you so angry, which part of my body is not yours?"

These words seemed to please Mingxu, and the corners of Mingxu's eyes were soon stained with a smile.Holding Sheng Ci's hand, he walked forward slowly and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Sheng Ci thought for a while and said, "Spicy hot pot."

Ming Xu immediately refused: "No."

"Then..." Sheng Ci meditated again, "Beef noodles?"

"You can't add spice." Ming Xu said, "Not only to protect the stomach, but also because we have something to do tonight."

"The non-spicy beef noodles seem to have lost their soul..." Sheng Ci retorted weakly, then noticed Ming Xu's last sentence, and muttered softly: "Old beast."

In the end, under Mingxu's strict supervision, Shengci really only ate a bowl of bland, soulless beef noodles.

In the afternoon, Mingxu took Shengci to the video game city.As soon as Sheng Ci saw that there was a game to play, the depression that belonged to beef noodles disappeared instantly.The video game city is very lively, and the rhythm of various music is agitating everyone's inner beat.

A group of people surrounded the dance machine, and Sheng Ci rushed forward to join in the fun with a smile.Mingxu stood behind him, shielding him from the crowd.He looked at the two people in front of the dance machine for a while, but he still couldn't appreciate the fun of this machine.

"Teacher Ming," Sheng Ci looked at Ming Xu sideways, and said, "Do you want to play? I can dance!"

A boy and a girl on the dance machine have an ambiguous atmosphere. They sway freely, occasionally twisting their waists and hips, and the crowd will boo or laugh.

"No." Mingxu shook her head seriously, "You can't jump."

Sheng Ci pouted, and finally compromised, "Okay then, how about basketball machines, as well as crane machines and racing cars."

After thinking about it, Ming Xu nodded and said "Yes".

They were evenly matched when shooting the ball, but in fact Mingxu put some water, and Shengci also tacitly kept it open, making him feel happier.But when it comes to the field that Mingxu is not good at - simulation racing, Sheng Ci feels that what he puts for Mingxu is not water, but an ocean.

But Mingxu always overturns, losing to Shengci every time.

Sheng Ci led Ming Xu to the claw machine, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, I don't blame you, who gave you a special driver, right, Teacher Ming."

Mingxu saw through his true thoughts and exposed him: "I'm afraid that's not what you want to say."

"No, no," Sheng Ci waved his hand and immediately defended himself, "How dare I say you are old."

"..."

As the saying goes, there is a "three-year generation gap". In this way, there are three generation gaps between Shengci and Mingxu.Regardless of Mingxu's age or Mingxu's mature style, Sheng Ci naturally felt that it was normal for Mingxu to not know how to play games.

What's more, Mingxu once confessed to him that during the period before they got back together, Mingxu took the initiative to tinker with his game console in order to please him, but in the end it backfired.

Shengci's game data was accidentally overwritten by Mingxu...

He was angry for half an hour, but in the end, because Mingxu admitted his mistakes sincerely and had a good demeanor, he chose to play another game.

Because the age gap is large, so are the life interests involved.

Sheng Ci touched his forehead, clapped his hands for the last time, and decided to divert his attention directly, "Then what, Teacher Ming, let's go grab the doll, and you can grab a bear for me."

After he finished speaking, he ran in the direction of the claw machine, without noticing Mingxu behind him, and quietly made a note in his heart.

They stood side by side in front of the claw machine, Sheng Ci was in charge of directing, and Ming Xu was in charge of controlling.

Shengci said for a while that he wanted a little bear, another that he wanted a doraemon, and another that he wanted a little pink rabbit.But the hook of the claw machine was as disobedient as ever. They used it for a long time and only caught Bear and Doraemon.

Sheng Ci was afraid that Mingxu would be too tired, and worried that he would be impatient, so he said, "Forget it, come back next time", but Mingxu refused to let go, and insisted on grabbing a little pink rabbit.

It took a long time, and finally Ming Xu caught all three dolls that Sheng Ci wanted and gave him to him.From five to six in the afternoon, on the way to pick up the car, Sheng Ci lowered his head and tied the bear's rope to the zipper of his backpack.

When he raised his head, his eyes narrowed.Mingxu glanced around, not knowing what interesting things Sheng Ci saw in the market.

"Mr. Ming, wait for me, I'll be back soon." Sheng Ci finished and ran away.

Mingxu's eyes followed Sheng Ci, who was picking things carefully in front of the booth.After a long time, he made his choice, paid the stall owner, and ran towards Mingxu with a smile.

The little bear on the backpack, dangling with the running movement, seemed as happy as his owner.

"Mr. Ming, lower your head." Ming Xu bowed her head obediently, and put a cat ear headband on Ming Xu's head in Shengci, saying, "I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't seen tiger ears. Think about tiger ears." It’s also a feline animal, so I bought cat ears... well, it’s so cute hahaha.”

He smiled and put another cat ear headband on his head.

Ming Xu looked at the same headband on Sheng Ci's head, and was so happy for a moment that he forgot to ask Sheng Ci "Why is it a tiger".He touched the cat ears on his head, and then touched the cat ears on Sheng Ci's head.

Sheng Ci held his hand and said, "Let's go."

The setting sun is in full bloom, which is the infinitely good time of the day.In the autumn evening, the wind blows slowly, the half moon carries the sunset glow, and the comfort in the afterglow envelopes the two people with cat ears on their heads.They held hands, one silent and the other lively.

Sheng Ci gently shook Mingxu's hand, hopped with his left foot and right foot, only looking at the shadow under his feet, not looking at the road ahead.The passers-by slowed down, following the slow pace of Sheng Ci.

Sheng Ci was bouncing around, holding Mingxu's fingers tightly in his hand, and said with a smile on his mouth, "I'm home, I'm home."

The end of the episode
