The Rationalist's Marriage

That night, Qiu Yuening returned to the hotel again in a random group.The group did not reserve a table, and had dinner directly at the cafeteria on the second floor.

The buffet is all small tables, everyone finds their own seats, and they don't get together.Qiu Yuening was not familiar with the flight crew, so he sat at the same table with Captain Peng who was traveling with him.They are ten years apart in age, but they have partnered a lot, chatted a lot, and eating together is very relaxing.Coincidentally, the captain picked the table that Qiu Yuening sat at in the morning.

Since entering the hotel, Qiu Yuening hasn't seen Ding Ye's omega predecessor, he may be off work.He needed to concentrate on the plane, and now that he had no work to press him down, he couldn't help being a little lost in his previous seat.

"Xiaoqiu, are you tired?" Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks very much, the captain asked with concern.

"Oh," Qiu Yuening was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "No." Today's flight is not long, so I don't feel tired, it's just that I still care about the problems that came to mind in the morning.

"Is that a quarrel with your lover?" the captain said half-jokingly.

"That's not it."

Ding Ye didn't know anything, and he sent a message at noon, saying that he had bought delicious egg yolk cakes and would eat them when he came back tomorrow.In fact, he is the one who loves sweets more. He only casually mentioned that he wanted to eat egg yolk crisps last weekend, so the other party bought it.Thinking of this, he felt that he was too narrow-minded and embarrassed to analyze his heart in front of his seniors.

After all, Captain Peng is old, and he is very good at observing words and emotions. He didn't ask any questions, but said gently: "If there is a misunderstanding, make it clear in time. It is not easy to get married."

"I understand, thank you."

The captain may be missing his dead lover again, but Qiu Yuening didn't tell anyone about it afterwards.They chatted a few words about family affairs, Captain Peng learned that he was dating and getting married after a blind date, nodded and said: "That's pretty good, the most important thing in life is running in."

"You didn't plan to..." Qiu Yuening asked hesitantly, "Are you going to have a family again?" He also hoped that the respected senior would come out instead of always thinking about an irretrievable person.

"Forget it at my age," the captain said mockingly, probably seeing through Qiu Yuening's thoughts, "I'm not particularly sad now. Missing someone doesn't conflict with living a good life. It's this kind of mentality that I can find again." It's not fair to others."

No wonder he has been single.Qiu Yuening understood what he meant and admired his mentality. Relatively speaking, his awkwardness was more like moaning without illness.

Ding Ye's predecessor was right, they were different, at least Qiu Yuening could clearly feel Ding Ye's feelings for him.Regardless of whether it has reached a level beyond the past, this relationship is not fake, it is not "acted out", and he should not question the other party's sincerity.

After dinner and bidding farewell to the captain, Qiu Yuening returned to his room.He usually takes a shower, and hasn't taken a bath for a long time. It just so happened that the conditions of the hotel were good, so he simply put a tub of water, stepped in, sank his body into the water, and gently stroked the water waves with his right hand.

I didn't have to be so desperate, but I started to guess wildly, what kind of person is the alpha that Ding Ye "actively" likes?It is impossible for the former classmates, otherwise they would not have changed their orientation in the first two years; customers?His clients must all be married, but he doesn't know him; Qiu Yuening even recalled that the guests at the wedding might be one of them... I really want to ask!

No, he immediately vetoed the delusion in his mind, he had eavesdropped first, how could he say it out.His face was about to be submerged in the water, and he was extremely depressed. He quickly straightened up, picked up the mobile phone next to him to divert his attention, but just as he clicked on it, he saw a message he missed.

It was Ding Ye who sent it after seven o'clock, asking if he had arrived at the hotel.

He didn't think too much, didn't pay attention to the current time, and dialed the voice.

"Yuening, are you in the hotel?"

"Well, I didn't look at my phone just now."

"It's good to be here." If Ding Ye's tone showed sleepiness, he might be ready to rest.

"Are you asleep?" Qiu Yuening asked.

"Not yet," he said, "just got out of the shower."

Qiu Yuening didn't quite believe it, he regretted it a bit.I called both the night before and this morning, but just now I just suddenly wanted to say a few more words and dialed. I didn't know what to talk about, how stupid I was.Besides, Ding Ye seems to have said that he wants to have his own space, will sticky things make him feel disgusted?

"I, will I disturb you?"

"Huh?" Ding Ye didn't seem to expect him to ask, "Why?"

"I remember you said that you like more personal space, but sometimes I..." Qiu Yuening thought over and over again, "Like now, I call you when I have nothing to do, isn't it a bit..."

He has other thoughts, subconsciously wants to use more connections to get comfort, the premise is that Ding Ye is not bored.

"Do you still remember what I said before?" Ding Ye's voice became much clearer, "It's your words, it doesn't matter."

It doesn't matter what I said... Before Qiu Yuening could chew it carefully, he heard him say again: "You can call me anytime you want, or you don't have anything to say."

"...Well," Qiu Yuening didn't look in the mirror, he thought his face must be very red, "I just want to go back."

I'll see you when I go back.

"Then do you want to connect a video now?" Ding Ye asked with a smile.

"No, no...just the voice." Realizing that the reaction was too loud, Qiu Yuening added, "I'm taking a bath and I'm not wearing anything." He vaguely felt that his explanation was more problematic, and his face was almost buried in the water again inside.

The suppressed laughter and fluctuating breathing came into his ears, and Ding Ye asked back: "Are you afraid that I will see you without clothes?"

"No." I've done it all, and I'm still afraid of being seen naked. "It doesn't work on my phone, I'm not used to it."

"Alright then," Ding Ye didn't force himself, "Let's talk."

The water was not as hot as before, it was warm and very comfortable. Qiu Yuening leaned back slightly and rested his head on the pillow on the side of the bathtub.There was no special topic, and the two of them talked back and forth, mostly around small things in life and work.

"I had dinner with the captain at night. The captain used to have a girlfriend who almost got married, but..." Qiu Yuening still talked about the secret that had been hidden for a while, and the content might be too heavy. Ding Ye listened to him silently, "I feel sad when I think about him, but I also feel that I am very happy now."

Not every couple has the luck to stay together for life, so these fates are so precious.

"I understand how you feel, Yue Ning, and I am also very happy."

"Well," Qiu Yuening scooped water on his face with his free hand, "You should rest early."

He also got out of the bathtub, dried his body, and glanced at the call display on his mobile phone. More than half an hour had passed.

The next day, it was just after noon when we disembarked.

After leaving the airport, Captain Peng raised his arms towards Qiu Yuening, "Have a good rest during the holiday, see you next time."

"See you later." Qiu Yuening turned around and walked towards his parking space.

He never thought that this was the last time he partnered with Captain Peng, and it was also the last time he saw him.
