Manhattanhenge

Ning Yixiao's meeting lasted until very late.

Since the cooperation of the new product series came very temporarily, he seldom participated in the front-line programming work, and he also briefly acted as an engineer to help guide the R&D department of Edge to upgrade the system.

It was five o'clock in the morning when he got a break from his heavy work and returned to the apartment.

After opening the door, he found that there was a light left in the dining room. After walking a few steps in, Ning Yixiao saw Su Hui who was lying on the dining table and fell asleep.

It turned out that Su Hui thought he would come back earlier, and cooked him an extra midnight snack, which was a bowl of Lantern Festival.

Ning Yixiao found an open bag of glutinous rice flour in the kitchen, and unused red bean paste in the refrigerator. Only then did he realize that these were made by Su Hui himself, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

He picked up Su Hui, put him on the mattress in the room, and covered him with a quilt.Su Hui fell into a deep sleep, but made some sticky nasal sounds, and looked very tired, so she didn't wake up.

Ning Yixiao kissed his forehead, went to the dining table, ate the cold bowl of boiled Yuanxiao, went back to the room to take a shower, and then hugged Su Hui to sleep, but he was very light sleeper, and he didn’t know what happened. After a long time, she felt the person in her arms move, and Ning Yixiao also woke up.

Su Hui was obviously frightened by his opening eyes, they opened them wide and blinked slowly.

"Did I wake you up?" he said quietly.

Ning Yixiao leaned over and kissed his lips, "No."

Su Hui buried her in his chest obediently, rubbed her eyes, "When did you come back?"

"Two or three o'clock." He deliberately said earlier.

"Liar." Su Hui exposed him mercilessly, "I haven't fallen asleep until two o'clock."

Ning Yixiao smiled, "It's really smart."

This kind of praise changed a bit when it came out of his mouth. Su Hui felt that it was a mockery, but he didn't care, "Yixiao, you are so busy with work, when can you rest?"

"Call again." Ning Yixiao answered the question.

"Huh?" Su Hui didn't understand, and looked up at him in confusion.

With a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, Ning Yixiao approached, rubbed the bridge of his handsome nose against Su Hui's ears and the sensitive skin of his side neck, and whispered, "What did you call me just now?"

"Just..." Su Hui was a little embarrassed, "One night."

"En." Ning Yixiao responded to him, wrapped his arms around Su Hui's waist forcefully, and kissed the side of his neck for a long time.

Su Hui was immersed in the lust released by Ning Yixiao, but she was a little afraid that he would find the scar left on the side of her neck, although it was very shallow, it was almost invisible.

"You smell good." Ning Yixiao said in a low voice.

Su Hui hugged his back and smiled, "You really look like you are sucking a cat, smell it."

Ning Yixiao felt very at ease, even if he just hugged and did nothing, he was not afraid of losing Su Hui anymore.

"I still have to continue to deal with competing products in the past few days, but the preliminary work is almost done, and I am waiting for the partner to update. On Saturday in the Bay Area, I will hold a new product launch roadshow, mainly to announce the cooperation. "

Su Hui nodded, feeling that Ning Yixiao was reporting the itinerary for him, and said with a smile, "I seem to be your leader, and I need you to report the schedule."

"You are." Ning Yixiao smiled and kissed the tip of Su Hui's nose, "You are my boyfriend, the supreme leader of our family."

Su Hui blushed all of a sudden, unable to bear Ning Yixiao's sloppy eyes and tone of voice at this moment, subconsciously made a stupid move of burying her face on the pillow.

"Here you go again, little ostrich." Ning Yixiao also lay down, turned to observe him, and whispered in Su Hui's ear, "Are you shy?"

"No." Su Hui said in a muffled voice.

Ning Yixiao smiled, "Isn't it too late to be shy now, we seem to have done almost everything."

"...Don't talk about it." Su Hui suspected that her face was so hot that she was about to steam.

"Then do you want to be my boyfriend?" Ning Yixiao stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Su Hui's slender neck, "Huh?"

Su Hui was quiet for a second, loosened her grip on the pillow, turned her face sideways, "...yes."

Ning Yixiao couldn't help pinching his face, and hugged him in his arms.

"Then are you leaving again?" Su Hui felt tired for Ning Yixiao, flying around all day and not getting enough sleep.

Ning Yixiao hummed, "It will be fine after a while."

Su Hui nodded, thinking about something in his mind, hesitated for a long time, and leaned into Ning Yixiao's ear, and whispered: "Then... when you are on vacation, can you go out with me to play?"

"Of course." Ning Yixiao touched his silver-white hair, "Where do you want to go?"

"Africa." Su Hui smiled.

Ning Yixiao stared at him, feeling that he was holding back his smile, as if he knew something.

"Did you see that video?"

Pretending to be reproachful, he held out his finger.

Su Hui stopped pretending, "Yes, I saw it."

He originally wanted to bite Ning Yixiao's hand, but he held it instead.

"Take me there next time, don't go by yourself." He hugged Ning Yixiao tightly, "Wherever you go by yourself, you will be very sad."

Ning Yixiao thought, it seems to be the case.

When he was alone, he went to many places that Su Hui wanted to go, but every time he arrived, he was swallowed by a great loneliness.

As long as he turned around, he could see Su Hui smiling and waving at him, even though those were all illusions.

But it's different now.

Ning Yixiao smiled with some relief, and kissed Su Hui's ear, "Then have you learned how to play the harmonica now?"

Su Hui froze for a moment, then shook her head honestly, "No..."

Ning Yixiao's tone was different from the past, rather proud, "I know it, although I can only play the seventh scale."

"Then you are amazing."

"It's really a bit powerful."

The two hugged and chatted, feeling more satisfied than doing many things.Ning Yixiao still had a lot of work to do, and Su Hui also had to go to school to work, so they had to separate temporarily, but they really didn't have enough time, so they kissed for a long time in the dark underground parking lot, until Su Hui was about to react. had to separate.

When Su Hui returned to school, her heart was still pounding, her cheeks were flushed, as if she had fallen into her first love again.

It seemed that he could only and would only step into the same river forever in his life.

Back at the college, Su Hui sorted out the content of the project he had done for Bella, and applied for a small lecture theater three days later to give a report to the students.

After it was over, he was unexpectedly surrounded, and many girls took out notebooks for him to sign.

"Signature? I..."

"Eddy, you are very popular now. Even Times Square has your print advertisement. It's huge and very beautiful!"

Su Hui didn't expect Bella's work efficiency to be so fast, and was a little surprised, "Really?"

"I also ordered magazines! Delivered on Saturday!"

"I also pre-ordered, the cover is so beautiful! I said it was our teaching assistant and my roommate couldn't believe it."

Surrounded by a group of little girls, Su Hui left the classroom. He happened to meet Professor White on the way. The professor invited him to have dinner at home, and he agreed and got into Professor White's car.

"Your career has been booming recently." Professor White joked with a smile.

"No, it's just a part-time job." Su Hui tugged at the ends of her hair in embarrassment.

"Your teacher and wife know about it, and she told me yesterday that she saw your photo." Professor White couldn't help but sigh, "That's great, I knew you would be a promising child, seeing you now , I am happier than anyone else."

Su Hui was also very moved. He will always remember the help that Professor White's family gave him. This is kindness that no one can give.

At the dinner table, the White couple chatted eagerly, busy up and down, and the teacher's wife knitted a grass green horn button sweater for Su Hui.

"Look, I said it was just right."

Professor White had no choice but to admit defeat, "Okay, okay, you are right."

"You see Eddy every day, you are not as good as me." The teacher mocked unceremoniously, and then praised again and again, "Eddy looks so good in this color, full of vitality, don't always wear black, white and gray in the future, listen to the teacher, Wear more bright colors, to look so good, you need to dress up more."

"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Su." Su Hui smiled.

Because of his grandmother's accident, he rarely came to White's house now, but every time he came, he felt like a long-lost home.

When they were leaving, the couple sent Su Hui downstairs.

"This is cheese, there are several kinds, you take it back and eat it with bread."

Su Hui smiled and took the big and small bags she gave her, and hugged her, "Okay, thank you, Mrs., it's windy outside, you go in quickly."

"Come and see her more often." Professor White said with a smile, "She often talks about you at home."

"Well, I know, I'll be here often."

"Bring the boy you like too." The teacher's wife said bluntly.

Su Hui froze for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"Don't be embarrassed, the two of us are equivalent to your parents, and we will always check for you." The teacher said with a smile, "But if Eddy likes it so much, he must be a very good person. You bring it here and have a meal together potluck."

"Okay." Su Hui lowered his head, "I'll bring him when he finishes his work."

Ning Yixiao originally wanted to ask Su Hui to come to the Bay Area on Saturday.

At first he wanted Su Hui to accompany him to the road show, but after thinking about it carefully, he worked hard at work, and he had to sit at the venue for two hours by plane. Just stay with him.

It's a pity that Su Hui still has work on Saturday and has to help students participate in the design of the spring art exhibition.

Hearing the bad news, Ning Yixiao said that it was a lie that he was not disappointed, but he did not express too much regret during the call, and he still pretended to be a very indifferent adult attitude, but in fact he wanted to change Su Hui in his heart. Dream of becoming a real doll kitten, preferably the size of a keychain, in his pocket every day, and can't go anywhere.

"Do you miss me?" On the other end of the phone, Su Hui asked in his usual light tone.

Ning Yixiao looked at the sea outside the window, "It's okay."

Su Hui smiled on the phone, smiling happily, like a child.

On Friday afternoon, they had a video call. With an artist's eye, Su Hui chose an outfit for him to attend the press conference - a black turtleneck sweater and jeans.

"What are you going to do later?" Ning Yixiao didn't change, and decided to use the one he chose.

"Well... let's go see grandma."

Su Hui said so, and within half an hour after hanging up the phone, he packed his luggage and went straight to the airport.It's a pity that his luck was not very good. In order to surprise Ning Yixiao, he stayed up all night to finish what he had to do, but the plane was delayed, which caught him off guard.

It was already 9:20 am on Saturday in the Landing Bay Area, and it was only 10 minutes before Ning Yixiao's press conference opened. It was too late, and because of the traffic jam, when Su Hui entered the venue with flowers in her arms, she was already an hour late.

Fortunately, Su Hui had greeted Karl in advance, and with him as the internal response, Su Hui could slip in quietly and walk around to the last row without being too conspicuous.

When Mao sat down, Ning Yixiao was demonstrating the comparison of the new and old upgraded functions.This was the first time Su Hui watched Ning Yixiao give a speech on stage like this after many years.

In a daze, he went back to six years ago, remembering Ning Yixiao's report at the seminar when they first came to New York.

He is more mature and confident than in the past, showing his charm with ease in every gesture, and the occasional one or two points of humor that require a little reaction to understand are also very powerful. It doesn’t sound like a press conference, but more like listening to a An overly handsome stand-up actor, doing a very restrained and unaware stand-up show performance.

On the way, Su Hui received a message from Carl.

[Carl: Eddy, I feel that your relationship with Shaw has become very good, I am happy for you. ]

What a sweet assistant.

Su Hui bowed his head and replied.

[Eddy: Thank you, Carl, you have worked hard during this time, and you have helped me a lot.At the beginning, I was in depression, and my attitude towards you was a little cold, I hope you don't mind. ]

Carl didn't mind at all, he even felt that Su Hui's concept of the word "cold" was different from his, because he worked with a cold boss every day, and doing things for Su Hui could be described as a spring breeze.

[Carl: Don't think so, you are a very nice person, I am happy to help adjust your relationship, after all, you are the most important people in the world to each other. ]

Seeing this sentence, Su Hui was still a little surprised. He originally thought that Carl didn't know so much, but now that he looked at it, he seemed to know everything.

[Eddy: I ​​see, thanks. ]

The new product trial session started. Ning Yixiao, who was standing on the stage, looked at the audience, "I will choose two audience members to come up and experience it. Do you want to participate?"

Seeing this, Su Hui immediately buried her head, huddled up, and hid herself in her seat for fear that Ning Yixiao would see it.

Fortunately, after hiding it from the past, two enthusiastic audience members came on stage, and Su Hui heaved a sigh of relief.

After the trial, the whole press conference came to an end. Under Ning Yixiao's final atmosphere, the audience burst into applause, and Su Wei also applauded quietly. He thought that he would be able to bring his own flowers to him soon. But as soon as it was over, many audience members enthusiastically brought bouquets of flowers to the stage, wanting to sign autographs and take photos with Ning Yixiao.

Su Hui waited patiently, and found that the bouquets sent by those fans were very large and beautiful. Compared with this, the small bouquet of white roses that she bought in a hurry seemed worthless.

He lowered his head and lightly arranged his bouquet, trying to make it more beautiful, but the more he arranged it, the more dissatisfied he became.

If I had known earlier, I would have bought the largest bundle, although I would have to wait a little longer.

He even began to wonder if he should dress up more delicately. Thinking of this, Su Hui raised his hand and pulled the brown painter's hat on top of his head.

In order to see Ning Yixiao, he specially wore the grass-green sweater knitted by his wife, and paired it with brown suede suit pants that he hadn't worn for a long time.

Would it be too much like an art college student?

Just as he was thinking wildly, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him, knocking on the empty seat in front of him, like knocking on a door.

Su Hui suddenly woke up and raised her head, just in time to meet Ning Yixiao's eyes looking directly at him.

"Morning."

Su Hui also subconsciously replied, "...morning."

But it wasn't morning at all.

Ning Yixiao glanced at the bouquet in his arms, "Is this for me?"

It was only then that Su Hui remembered, stood up, and handed him the flowers in his hand, "Congratulations on the successful conclusion of your press conference."

After he finished speaking, he added, "Although my flowers are a bit small, they are very fresh, and they were bound by my sister who was watching the flower shop."

Ning Yixiao took it over with a smile, "I thought you were going to say you planted it."

"I don't have a place to grow flowers now." Su Hui whispered as if talking to herself.

Ning Yixiao smiled, thinking that he was especially good-looking in such a hat, couldn't help but pull Su Hui into his arms, didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, hugged him, raised his hand to cover it with a bouquet, and kissed Su Hui on the cheek .

Su Hui still felt embarrassed and got out of his arms, but held his hand reluctantly.

"Didn't you say you have a job?" Ning Yixiao plucked the hair on his cheek, "Why are you here?"

"I finished it ahead of time, and I want to give you a surprise." Su Hui praised him without hesitation, "You are so amazing, I really want to buy it when I hear it."

"You don't need to buy it." Ning Yixiao smiled, pulled him backstage, took his suit jacket from another assistant, and put it on Su Hui's shoulders, "It's still a bit cold here."

"When did you see me?" Su Hui was curious.

"I saw you when you came in, sneaky."

Like a kitten sneaking into a human meeting.

Ning Yixiao saw Carl who was busy in the backstage, and went to him alone and said, "Go to my house, lock the room where I put the installation art, and ask the cleaning to clean it up and use some aromatherapy."

Carl thought for a while, "Didn't you use aromatherapy?"

Ning Yixiao didn't bother to explain too much to him, "Just do what you want, and I'll send you the brand of aromatherapy."

"Ok."

Turning around, Su Hui was talking to a female staff member at the scene, and the conversation was very happy. The other party even took out her mobile phone and wanted to take a photo with Su Hui.

Ning Yixiao walked over, "Teacher Su is famous now, and there are fans everywhere."

Su Hui was not to be outdone, "How can you collect as many flowers as you do?"

Ning Yixiao took his shoulders, "It's hard to come to the Bay Area, I'll take you out for a walk?"

"Okay."

Su Hui didn't know much about this place, only Silicon Valley and the Golden Gate Bridge, so she asked Ning Yixiao to arrange them.Ning Yixiao knew that he liked the sea, so he took Su Hui to a restaurant with a view of the sea and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Originally planned to go to the Golden Gate Bridge after dinner, but during the meal, Ning Yixiao noticed that Su Hui didn't seem to have gotten enough sleep, was a little confused, and yawned several times.

"Didn't sleep enough?" Ning Yixiao cut the steak and exchanged plates with him.

"A little bit." Su Hui stayed up all night and waited at the airport for a long time, "I can't sleep on the plane."

"Then go home and rest first, and come out to play after you have enough sleep. The night view is also very beautiful."

Su Hui will always be moved when he hears the word home, especially when it comes from Ning Yixiao.He ate the steak quickly and contentedly, drank a little white wine, and was in a very happy mood, like a small sailboat floating on the sea, unnoticed.

After the meal, Ning Yixiao drove him to a residential area with a beautiful and quiet environment. It was located in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by green trees, facing a whole blue bay, and the scenery was very good.

Su Hui was a little curious, "Is your home here?"

Ning Yixiao couldn't help correcting him, "It's our family."

Su Hui was a little happy, not because of how beautiful the house was, but because of what Ning Yixiao said.

"Actually, I have properties elsewhere, but this one has the most beautiful sea view. You can walk to the beach in 10 minutes. There is another property that doesn't have such a good sea view, but it has a beautiful forest. You must also like it very much. "

Su Hui realized that Ning Yixiao really remembered every word he said with great care.Unlike others, he doesn't talk about it all the time, but puts it into action.

"Actually, it doesn't matter where you live. As long as I'm with you, I'll be very happy."

Ning Yixiao stopped the car, leaned over and kissed Su Hui on the lips, and unbuckled his seat belt by the way.

"Come down and have a look."

The appearance of the whole house is pure white, which looks like a huge shell, and most of the sides are transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, with staggered layers and a sense of design.

Ning Yixiao opened the door and led Su Hui in.

"Do you like it?" Ning Yixiao asked.

Su Hui, however, missed him very much and just wanted to hug him, so she clung to him and put her arms around Ning Yixiao's neck, looking into his eyes, "Yes, I like it."

There was a faint woody aroma in the air, which was inexplicably damp.Su Hui stood on tiptoe and got close to Ning Yixiao's face. Like him, he rubbed the tip of his nose against the tip of his nose. His nasal cavity was filled with Ning Yixiao's cologne. .

"I miss you very much." He raised his face, lightly touched Ning Yixiao's chin with his lips, and then the corner of his mouth.

Not getting an immediate response, Su Hui felt a little impatient, and lowered her head, resting her head on Ning Yixiao's collarbone, rubbing against her, showing dependence and obedience.

"Do not you miss me?"

"What do you think?"

After Ning Yixiao finished speaking, without warning, she hugged Su Hui face to face.

The body flew into the air at once, and Su Hui subconsciously hugged his neck tightly. Both of them were driven by this kind of thoughts floating in the air, their nerves were excited, and they threw away all their rationality, just indulging in the kiss in front of them.

"Well……"

Su Hui was kissed deeply by him against the wall, the sound of sucking and water was amplified in the silent space, and there was no escape, the deeper Ning Yixiao's lips and tongue were, the softer his body became, and his legs could not touch the ground , can only be attached to him, let him bully.

The woolen sweater was untied somehow, and more than half of it slid off the shoulders, revealing the white cotton jacket underneath, and the hat fell to the ground.

Su Hui's breathing was short, her brain lacked oxygen, and she clung to Ning Yixiao's shoulders weakly. She always felt insecure and begged for mercy in a low voice, "Yixiao, let me down..."

At this moment, he suddenly heard something slam on the ground. He thought it was a hallucination, but when he looked up, he saw Karl standing blankly under the spiral stairs, with both hands still holding something.

The scented candle fell out of the smashed box and rolled three times before stopping.

Su Hui suddenly woke up.

It's not a hallucination, it's real Karl.

"you……"

Carl is devastated.

The author has something to say:

The surprise came as a huge shock to Karl.

Karl: The world view has collapsed
