Do not lie to me

It turned out that they were not ready to go until May.Shang Xuechen saw that Lele was young and had just come to live with them, thinking about it, he stayed for a while to accompany Lele to familiarize himself with the environment.Ji Shuping didn't urge him at all, but just said to him lightly, "The money from the hotel cannot be refunded."

Shang Xuechen held his chest for two seconds and finally persuaded himself, "Forget it, forget it, who else can be blamed, not myself."

Fortunately, with the extra few months of preparation, Shang Xuechen also borrowed travel English books from Brother Zhou.If I have nothing to do, I hold this book and study it carefully, but I am afraid of exporting it, because speaking English will smell like mutton skewers.When he was reading, Ji Shuping always sat beside him without anyone noticing, Shang Xuechen was even more afraid to open his mouth for fear of Ji Shuping's ridicule.Although Ji Shuping never showed it on his face, Shang Xuechen always felt that he must be laughing at himself in his heart.

"Can you go away?" Shang Xuechen covered his face with a book, squinting at Ji Shuping who was drinking coffee next to him.

Ji Shuping took a sip of his coffee and frowned. Shang Xuechen saw that he had put down the book that blocked his face, picked up the tweezers, took out the sugar cube and put it into Ji Shuping's coffee cup, still muttering, "You just Don’t know how to add sugar yourself?”

"Forgot." Ji Shuping took another sip of coffee, looked up at the book in Shang Xuechen's hand, "Go ahead, leave me alone."

Shang Xuechen rolled his eyelids, and continued to stare at the travel spoken encyclopedia, all of which were the pronunciations marked in Chinese by Brother Zhou before. Shang Xuechen thought it would be convenient for him.It's just that once when reading according to the above, even the newly arrived Lele pointed out his fault, and Shang Xuechen felt a little ashamed.Turning around and seeing Ji Shuping pretending to be drinking tea to cover up the corners of his mouth, Shang Xuechen finally realized that Ji Shuping always knew what he said was wrong, but he just watched like this.Anyway, as long as Ji Shuping is present, he won't open his mouth even if he is beaten to death.

Shang Xuechen got up from the sofa, intending to sneak into the balcony to practice secretly, but Ji Shuping stopped him, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Go to the balcony!"

"Isn't it the same to practice here?"

Shang Xuechen turned his head and stared at Ji Shuping, "Why don't you discuss the shipment with the bookseller, why are you staring at me all day?"

Because of the delay in going abroad, Ji Shuping took this time to arrange to donate the books to the children, and sent the wrapped wedding candy along with it.Later, they calculated the quantity and felt that it might not be enough, so they packed a lot more, and Lele also helped to pack.

The three of them sat together for three days, and during those three days, Lele gradually started to talk, and he would answer whatever Shang Xuechen asked him.Gradually, he will take the initiative to communicate with him, which makes Shang Xuechen feel gratified and fulfilled, but what Lele asks the most is, "When will you go abroad to get married?"

Every time he was asked this way, Shang Xuechen felt dizzy.He originally wanted to wait for Lele to get used to it, but he was afraid that Ji Shuping would think that he didn't put Ji Shuping first, and he was afraid that Lele would think that he had become a stumbling block for them.So every time Lele asked, Shang Xuechen could only say haha.

However, Lele's presence also had an advantage, Ji Shuping had some slight changes.For example, Ji Shuping, who doesn't like dumplings and steamed buns, one morning when Shang Xuechen praised Lele for not being picky eaters, Ji Shuping took the initiative to eat a steamed dumpling, and pushed the plate in front of Shang Xuechen after eating.At first Shang Xuechen didn't care, but Ji Shuping didn't talk to him that day.On the second day, when Ji Shuping ate two steamed dumplings and brought his own plate to him after eating, Shang Xuechen was still at a loss, and Lele, who sat across from him, gnawed on buns and drank porridge, looked like an adult With a sigh, "He is waiting for your compliment."

"Ah?" Shang Xuechen felt a little unbelievable, Ji Shuping was waiting for his praise?When it was just the two of them, Ji Shuping didn't seem to have this problem, he just said something, why is he so coy now?

"He's jealous."

With such a reminder from Jing Lele, Shang Xuechen suddenly realized.Because he was always worried about Lele not getting used to it, he had been focusing on Lele recently, and he was a little cold towards Ji Shuping.

Shang Xuechen smiled, and secretly stretched out his hand under the table to wrap around Ji Shuping's little finger. Ji Shuping dodged it the first time around, and when he reached out for the second time, Ji Shuping directly grabbed him hand.Shang Xuechen asked him with a smile, "Is the taste good?"

Ji Shuping told the truth, "At least it's not as bad as imagined."

"So when are you going to get married?" Lele looked at the couple opposite, knocked on the side of the bowl with chopsticks, "Holding hands is fair and aboveboard, hurry up and get married!"

"Don't knock on the bowl!" Shang Xuechen immediately turned his head and gave him a look when he heard Lele knocking on the bowl, in fact to divert the child's attention, "Knocking on the bowl will beg for food in the future!"

Lele didn't care much, and shrugged her shoulders, "It's not like I haven't begged for food." The topic still turned back, and Lele asked, "So when will you go abroad to get married?"

Shang Xuechen still wanted to play haha, but Ji Shuping lifted the hands of the two "secretly holding Chen Cang" to the table.Shang Xuechen twisted his arm twice but couldn't beat Ji Shuping, and he didn't know what to say when facing Lele again.

Lele took a look at the tightly intertwined hands of the two of them, lowered her head and continued to eat her buns and drink her porridge as if nothing had happened. After eating, she wiped her mouth and said, "Hurry up and get married. This place is better than the place I have stayed in before. It’s all good, I’ve gotten used to it pretty well.”

"It's not like this Lele, you..."

"I will go to the psychiatrist you mentioned." Lele looked up at Shang Xuechen and said seriously, "To prove that I am not talking nonsense, there is another Lele."

Shang Xuechen wanted to say more, but Ji Shuping spoke first, "Okay, after you have seen a psychiatrist, we are going to go abroad to get married."

Lele smiled when she heard Shu Xin, and Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping in surprise, and shook his hands to leave, but Ji Shuping held onto his hand, "Where are you going?"

"Let go of me, I have to go find the oral book that brother Zhou borrowed!"

Ji Shuping and Lele smiled at the same time.

Shang Xuechen took the travel spoken book by himself and hid from Ji Shuping for a few days as if fighting tunnels. Ji Shuping informed him that he had to pack his luggage and prepare to go abroad.

"Yang Lian has seen Lele? What did he say?"

"Yang Lian said it's not a big problem. Children of this age have some illusions to some extent. When they get older and mature, they will forget about it. He checked Lele, and Lele is still in good health."

"Then..." Shang Xuechen was still a little worried, and wanted to say that it would be better in two days, but seeing Ji Shuping's face, he felt that the marriage could not be delayed any longer, and quickly turned from worry to worry. With a smiling face, he waved the English book in his hand and said, "Then please ask Brother Zhou to take care of Lele for a while?"

"En." Ji Shuping nodded, and entered the room expressionlessly.

Shang Xuechen let out a breath, feeling that he had turned the corner. He looked down at the book in his hand, drooped his shoulders a little discouraged, and recited the awkward sentence he had practiced these days, "Cool I, h**ea Cabo Cat Minnie?"

"It's CanIh**eacouplemoreminutes." Ji Shuping left and returned, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, with a smile that was not a smile.

Shang Xuechen felt ashamed, but still yelled, "I know! Just show off." After he finished speaking angrily, he turned around and threw the spoken Chinese book in his hand on the sofa, muttering, "Brother Zhou What is this all about?!"

Time passed quickly in anticipation, and finally the day came for them to go abroad. This time they didn't go out in the dark in the middle of the night. Brother Zhou Jiajia drove them to the airport with Lele. When they arrived at the airport, Yuan Li'an was already waiting there. When the car arrived, I immediately came to help with the luggage.

"That's all you brought?" Zhou Ge looked at Shang Xuechen's suitcase and felt a little incredulous.At this moment, Shang Xuechen proudly shrugged his shoulders at Brother Zhou, "How many things can two big men bring?"

"Poverty at this time." Brother Zhou patted Shang Xuechen on the shoulder, "I brought you some souvenirs from my honeymoon. Don't forget to bring us something too!"

"Pull it down." Shang Xuechen opened the trolley of the suitcase and looked up at Brother Zhou and said, "Just those two T-shirts you brought that I love Guam, they are nothing but souvenirs, they look like they were wholesaled from a small commodity market. I've already worn it as pajamas."

"That's for you too!"

"Didn't I ever give you wedding candy? Just treat it as if I brought it from abroad."

"Then how does it count!"

Brother Zhou and monk Xuechen were still talking, Ji Shuping looked down at his watch and said, "The time is almost up."

"Oh, okay, then you go in." Brother Zhou pinched Jiajia after he finished speaking. Brother Zhou grinned his teeth in pain at first, but was reminded by Jiajia's eyes, and immediately patted his head and held him back. Shang Xuechen said, "Oh, by the way, you guys wait."

Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping looked back at Brother Zhou, and saw Brother Zhou took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, "Although you have decided not to serve wine, I will also accept the wedding candy you gave me. The gift money should still be given Give."

"This is so embarrassing. Hahahaha." Shang Xuechen said politely, but he had already taken Brother Zhou's red envelope with his hand, twisted his fingers, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile, "Yo, it's quite thick."

"It's for me and Jiajia."

"Brother Chen." Yuan Li'an behind him also made a sound, and Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping turned to look at him again.Yuan Li'an also took out his own wrapped red envelope and handed it to Shang Xuechen, "This is mine, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"Okay, your words are enough." Shang Xuechen pushed Yuan Li'an's hand back, "You still work and go to school, so you don't have to pay the gift money."

"Hey, why didn't you be polite to me?" Brother Zhou who was next to him joined in the excitement and yelled.Shang Xuechen smiled and punched him on the chest with his elbow, "We don't need to fix those stupid things anymore." Ji Shuping watched and pulled his sleeve, and Shang Xuechen consciously retracted the one that was on Brother Zhou's chest. arm.

"Brother Chen, accept it." Yuan Li'an blushed and lowered his head in a daze, but did not take back his hand, "You have taken care of me for so long, this is my heart. I sincerely wish you well!"

Shang Xuechen glanced at Ji Shuping, and Ji Shuping bowed his head and whispered into his ear, "Accept it, or he will be uneasy." Shang Xuechen thought about it, and he couldn't always save face, so he accepted it too.

Yuan Li'an heaved a sigh of relief seeing Shang Xuechen accepting his red envelope, and touched the bulging pocket on the other side. He looked up at Shang Xuechen who was chatting and laughing with Ji Shuping, and hesitated whether to take Shao Ji Give him what you confess to yourself.

Shang Xuechen's attention was no longer on Yuan Li'an, he was attracted by Lele who was standing beside him anxiously scratching his head, bent down to look at him and asked, "Lele, what are you doing?"

"I...I..." Lele flipped through his pocket anxiously. He saw that everyone else had given something to Shang Xuechen, but he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Shang Xuechen smiled and touched his head, "You don't need Lele."

"No!" Lele yelled anxiously, continuing to rummage through her pockets.

Shang Xuechen wanted to persuade him again, Ji Shuping patted him on the shoulder, Shang Xuechen looked back at him, straightened up and stepped aside.Ji Shuping walked up to Lele, looked at the worried Lele and said, "You can wait until we come back."

After hearing this, Lele was not so anxious.Shang Xuechen looked at Lele and sighed, Ji Shuping heard his slight sigh, turned around and hugged his shoulder, Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping and said, "Are you a little too paranoid?"

"He just doesn't want to be a child. Only if he doesn't fall behind these adults can he feel that he can have a place here. He is still afraid of being abandoned."

"It seems that after we come back, we have to help him correct it."

"Okay, let's talk about coming back. Let's prepare for the security check and board the plane."

"Well, good." Shang Xuechen turned his head to bid farewell to everyone, "Okay, you can send it here, Ji Shuping and I are going in."

"Okay, let's go then. You guys had fun." Brother Zhou waved goodbye to Shang Xuechen, and after waving, he wrapped Jiajia in one hand and Lele in the other, turned his head and left.

Shang Xuechen looked at Brother Zhou who said he was leaving, and smiled helplessly. He was about to turn around and go to the boarding gate with Ji Shuping, but when he turned around, he saw Yuan Li'an still standing there uneasy.

"Xiao Yuan, why didn't you leave? Didn't you come here by taxi? Hurry up and catch up with Brother Zhou, just take his ride back to school."

"Brother Chen, I...I..." Yuan Li'an faltered, and Shang Xuechen was a little anxious when he heard it, "You you you? What's wrong with you? We're running out of time."

Ji Shuping glanced at the pockets Yuan Li'an was clutching tightly, "Is there anything else you want to give us? Or who asked you to bring it to us?"

Shang Xuechen was stunned, and Ji Shuping reached out and patted him on the back twice.Shang Xuechen didn't feel blocked by Ji Shuping's slap, but felt relieved. He looked at Yuan Li'an who was standing restlessly and said, "Give me what he asked you to bring."

Yuan Li'an carefully took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, "He said he wished you a long time too."

Shang Xuechen took the red envelope and smiled, "It's a real one." Glancing at Ji Shuping, Ji Shuping nodded at him, and Shang Xuechen took out a box of candy from his backpack and handed it to Yuan Li'an, "Reciprocity, Since he gave us a red envelope, I have no choice but to give him wedding candy. Tell him for me, I will accept his blessing."

Yuan Li'an looked at the wedding candy in his hand in some surprise, and then raised his head to look at Shang Xuechen in surprise. He didn't expect Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping to face each other so calmly and naturally.Shang Xuechen smiled and patted Yuan Li'an on the shoulder, "Okay, let's not talk too much, we are really late. Go and chase Brother Zhou's car. Let's go."

As soon as Shang Xuechen finished speaking, he and Ji Shuping pushed the suitcase inside.

Yuan Li'an was not in a hurry to chase Brother Zhou's car, he just stood there and looked at the two people who were pushing their suitcases away, watching them check in their luggage, pass the security check, and when no one could see them anymore, Yuan Li'an Still standing in place.Until the familiar footsteps stopped beside him.

Yuan Li'an handed over the wedding candy in his hand, "Here, he said reciprocity, thank you for your blessing."

Shao Ji looked down at the wedding candy Yuan Li'an handed over, opened the box and ate one, the almonds in the snowflake crisps were very crisp, and the butter was very fragrant.Shao Ji smiled, but immediately lowered the corners of his mouth after laughing, and looked up with Yuan Li'an to a place where no one was around.

Before the plane took off, Shang Xuechen propped his chin and leaned against the window to look at the ground crew below, then turned his head to Ji Shuping who was bending over to change his slippers and said, "I wanted to take the candy with me when I was bored on the plane." food!"

Ji Shuping waved to the stewardess, "Please give me a glass of red wine, a glass of orange juice, and a blanket by the way." After he finished talking with the stewardess, he turned around and looked at Shang Xuechen, "Why? Can't bear a box of candies?"

"No." Shang Xuechen lay down on Ji Shuping's body, "I just feel weird."

"You did a good job." Ji Shuping touched the back of his head, just as the stewardess brought the things over, he put the blanket on Shang Xuechen and handed him the orange juice, "Let's have something to drink first. The flight time is long , when the plane stabilizes, you go to sleep first."

Shang Xuechen drank the orange juice and continued lying on Ji Shuping's body without moving, saying, "Okay." After speaking, he fell asleep like that.

Ji Shuping touched Shang Xuechen's head repeatedly. The plane was about to take off. He straightened the person lying on his lap and fastened his seat belt. Shang Xuechen glanced at him with half-opened eyes, stretched out his hands He hugged him tightly on the back, "You are doing very well."

The plane shook, and Ji Shuping followed suit. Shang Xuechen still hugged him and did not let go. Ji Shuping let him hold him without saying anything, until the stewardess came to remind him to sit up and fasten his seat belt, and Ji Shuping sat upright. The body, fastened the seat belt.

As soon as he put on his seat belt, he immediately reached out and grabbed Shang Xuechen's hand.Shang Xuechen squinted his eyes and asked him, "Is the plane ascending?"

Ji Shuping thought it was because of gravity that he was uncomfortable, so he comforted him patiently, "Well, just bear with it."

"This doesn't feel very good. It's bad luck to say this, but I heard that if you encounter a draft or something, you may die accidentally."

"It's a bit unlucky for you to say that, after all, this is before we got married."

Shang Xuechen hooked the corner of his mouth, and clasped Ji Shuping's hand, "It's strange, I was so nervous and scared that I couldn't sleep last night. But now that the plane is flying so steeply, I feel at ease and even sleepy. I think , probably because even if I have to face death now, as long as you are by my side, I don't care."

"I'm not moved by what you said." When the plane stabilized, Ji Shuping went over to help him cover the blanket again. The air-conditioning in the plane was too strong, "I still want to have a longer time with you."

Shang Xuechen closed his eyes as if he was going to sleep, "Don't worry, I just said it casually."

Watching him fall asleep, Ji Shuping pushed his head to let him rest on his shoulders, while he looked at the clouds outside the window and said softly, "If there is an accident, I'm not afraid. As long as we are together. "

Shang Xuechen had nothing to worry about, the plane arrived at the destination smoothly all the way, during which he fell asleep, woke up halfway and was really bored, ate something to feed himself, and slept again.

But accidents always happen in unimaginable places, such as people leaving the customs safely, but the luggage did not arrive correctly.Shang Xuechen's luggage didn't know where it was checked. Ji Shuping got his own luggage and accompanied him to the conveyor belt and waited until the last luggage came out. He knew that Shang Xuechen's luggage must be lost.

"Ah, how could this happen?!" Shang Xuechen yelled at the stopped conveyor belt, Ji Shuping raised his hand to look at his watch, and comforted him, "Forget it, you can wear mine first, we will buy what you need later .Let’s go to the hotel first, the car I ordered has been waiting for a while.”

Shang Xuechen said with a bitter face, "That's the only way to go."

Ji Shuping's hotel was set in Koreatown in Los Angeles. Shang Xuechen pouted as soon as he entered the room, looked around, "Why do you choose Koreatown, you have to stay in Chinatown."

Originally, Shang Xuechen brought a lot of instant noodles and microwave Sichuan food in his suitcase. He thought that if he was not used to eating them, he would cook instant noodles and eat them. But now that the suitcase is gone, he can only count on eating in Chinatown. Shang Xuechen was a little dissatisfied that Ji Shuping had booked the hotel in Koreatown again.

Ji Shuping opened the suitcase, found two sets of clothes, got up and threw one set to Shang Xuechen, "I'll take you to dinner after changing."

Shang Xuechen twitched the corner of his mouth, blaming Ji Shuping for not understanding his homesickness.But he didn't say much after all, obediently changed into the clothes Ji Shuping gave him, and followed him out.

It wasn't too late, and Shang Xuechen was really hungry because of the loss of luggage. He followed Ji Shuping and asked, "Where shall we eat later? What are we going to eat? I don't want to eat potatoes." A hamburger, by the way, is there a Chinese restaurant here? Can I order takeaway?"

Ji Shuping just walked ahead, ignoring Shang Xuechen's questions one by one.Shang Xuechen pursed his lips and stopped asking any further questions. He just buried his head in following Ji Shuping. He followed Ji Shuping very closely. He was afraid that if he lost his mind and lost his way, he would not be able to find the way back to the room if he didn't understand the language.

When Ji Shuping walked around to the terrace from the hotel corridor, Shang Xuechen yelled again, "Oh, don't we eat? We don't take the elevator, what are you doing in the swimming pool?" Shang Xuechen followed Ji Shuping to the hotel. The open-air swimming pool feels like I've been tricked.

Ji Shuping held him at this time, Shang Xuechen looked at him suspiciously, Ji Shuping led him around the swimming pool and walked forward, Shang Xuechen saw a glass house, which looked a bit like a greenhouse.Shang Xuechen felt a little unbelievable looking at it, pointed to the glass house in front of him and asked, "Is this a restaurant? Or a greenhouse?"

"It's a restaurant. It's a very famous restaurant." Ji Shuping swallowed and looked a little nervous, "The design of this restaurant is a mix of the concept of a natural farm with some industrial styles. The roof is made of glass, and the sunset is beautiful. The magazine put This restaurant is rated as a restaurant where as long as you propose marriage here, you will definitely agree. It just happens to be the eve of our wedding, and it happens that I haven't formally proposed marriage yet."

"Let's go." Shang Xuechen looked into the restaurant on tiptoe, feeling that there were still a lot of people, "It's time to draw people's attention again." Sensing his disappointment in his hands, Shang Xuechen tiptoed to look at the people in the restaurant, and finally said, "Then don't kneel down on one knee so solemnly."

Only then did Ji Shuping laugh.
