Looking to get a license abroad.

He Ning makes a phone call to Li Xuan.

The content is brief, but the intent is clear: she invites Li Xuan to visit her home in Ling'an.

She still can't save face, the reason used is that the family's soy sauce duck soy sauce beef are well marinated, let Li Xuan over to taste it.

Li Xuan was dumbfounded when he received the call, and Su Xingchuan whispered next to him, "If you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, don't go."

Li Xuan thinks about it and decides to go to the appointment, but he's not ready and doesn't know how to communicate with He Ning in an amicable way, so he shoves his cell phone in Su Xingchuan's hand and lets Su Xingchuan do the talking.

Su Xingchuan gladly accepted the cell phone.

Hanging up the phone, Su Xingchuan went to the balcony.

Li Xuan was lying on the balcony blowing in the wind, Su Xingchuan picked him up from behind and wrapped him in his arms, "Aren't you cold?"

Li Xuan shook his head.

Su Xingchuan said, "Let me apologize to you first for my mother."

"You've said that eight hundred times."

Su Xingchuan laughed softly, "I feel like no amount of apologizing will ever make up for it, Baby. How much did my mom say to you that day?"

"Can't remember."

Li Xuan turned back to Su Xingchuan , cocking the corner of his mouth, "What had been in his heart before the reunion, he forgot after meeting you."

He slumped into Su Xingchuan's arms, "To make it up to me, just-" he suddenly stuck.

"On what?"

Li Xuan thought about it for half a day but couldn't come up with anything, and sighed long and hard, "It doesn't feel like there's much left for you to do."

Su Xingchuan is already his caring husband, loyal slave, dedicated driver, and bed-warming male pet ...... If he makes any more demands, Li Xuan himself feels that it is a bit too much.

Su Xingchuan bit his ear, "Think again."

Li Xuan rolled her eyes, "I want instant noodles."

"What's with the sudden craving for instant noodles?"

Li Xuan said, "I don't know, I just suddenly wanted to eat."

So it was 10:30 at night, the moon was shining in the sky, the stars were twinkling, and the whole city was gradually quieting down. Li Xuan sat at the restaurant table, waiting for Su Xingchuan to put a bowl of steaming hot noodles with an egg and ham sausage in front of him.

Su Xingchuan showed Li Xuan the meaning of "home" in his own way, and Li Xuan felt his whole heart filled with warmth, he looked silly for half a day before he remembered to take out his cell phone to take a picture of the bowl of instant noodles, walnut tabletop, warm yellow light tone, milky white bubble noodle bowl.

The photo also captures Su Xingchuan's strong arms.

Li Xuan was very pleased with the composition of this photo, looked at it left and right, and then saved the photo in an album.

The album was a private album, Su Xingchuan noticed, but couldn't make out the name of the album, so he came over and asked curiously, "What other pictures are in there?"

Li Xuan nuzzled, "Not gonna tell you."

Su Xingchuan flexed and scratched his nose.

Su Xingchuan also cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, and the two of them sat down face to face to eat. Li Xuan thought it was too hot, so Su Xingchuan helped him to cool it.

Su Xingchuan cooks eggs well and can easily time the heat to produce a loose egg, and Li Xuan loves the flavor of the runny yolk wrapped around the noodles.

Su Xingchuan asked him, "Is it good?"

Li Xuan shakes his head like he did when he was a student.

Under the table again, he stepped on Su Xingchuan's foot.

Both of his feet stepped on Su Xingchuan's insteps, but Su Xingchuan didn't get annoyed and let him bully him.

It didn't take long for Li Xuan to return to his former self in front of Su Xingchuan, and the conversation opened up as he talked about the hospital, sometimes with contempt and sometimes with emotion, and Su Xingchuan listened quietly.

"Why did you choose a men's hospital in the first place?" Su Xingchuan asked.

"Specialty hospitals are relatively clean."

"That ......"

Li Xuan knew what Su Xingchuan was going to ask and gave a cold snort, saying, "Well, I've seen too much to be interested."

Su Xingchuan laughed softly, "That won't do."

Li Xuan stomped on Su Xingchuan's instep, and Su Xingchuan pretended to be in pain, "Sssh--that's mean."

Li Xuan was born with a body that couldn't get fat, Su Xingchuan wasn't as gifted, and when he finished eating, he put the dishes in the dishwasher, and when he got up he suddenly wasn't sure if he still had his abs.

He hasn't been to the gym since his health problems.

He reached out and touched it.

The good news is that the outline is still there;

The bad news is that it's all about the silhouette.

He told Li Xuan, "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to resume working out at least three times a week."

Li Xuan was reluctant, "So what time will you be home?"

"It'll be back before ten."

Li Xuan shook his head, "Not allowed to go."

Su Xingchuan sat down on the couch and scooped Li Xuan onto his lap, "Didn't you say my abs were your favorite?"

Li Xuan □□□□, straddling Su Xingchuan's lap, he didn't want to be separated from Su Xingchuan for too long, "I can pretend you have."

Su Xingchuan's face darkened, "...... I would have."

Li Xuan lay in his arms, "Then I'll go with you."

Su Xingchuan jokingly said, "OK, Xuanxuan will watch me practicing from the side, and when someone comes to harass me, Xuanxuan will rush up and say loudly, this is my boyfriend!"

Li Xuan nodded surprisingly seriously.

Su Xingchuan's hand traveled down the back of Li Xuan's neck, stopping for a moment at the back of his waist, Li Xuan buried his face in the crook of his neck, and Su Xingchuan whispered in his ear, "Ten more days, yes?"

Li Xuan said in a muffled voice, "That's not how it works."

"How long will that take?"

Li Xuan's breathing became rapid, clutched Su Xingchuan's collar, and reluctantly and calmly reminded Su Xingchuan, "Review, review and talk afterward."

.

On the eve of New Year's Day, Su Xingchuan brought Li Xuan back home.

He Ning glanced at Li Xuan, smiled, and then turned to go into the kitchen, where Li Xuan looked to Su Xingchuan for help.

Su Xingchuan just wanted to go up and argue with his mother, when He Ning came out again with fruits, and Li Xuan froze in place.

He Ning took the initiative to Li Xuan and said, "Auntie apologize to you, seven years ago, Auntie those words said ...... said too heavy."

Li Xuan didn't say anything.

"It's true that I've been overly prejudiced after watching this for a while, and you're not what I envisioned, as your mother would say, you're a good kid."

Not disgusting perverts who'll tear Su Xingchuan's family apart, good kids.

He Ning put down the fruit and said to Li Xuan, "I'm sorry."

Li Xuan felt that a stone that had been weighing on his heart for seven years had finally been moved.

Su Xingchuan held his hand.

It was as if Li Xuan used to dream that one late night, Su Xingchuan knocked on the door of his heart, walked up to the twenty-year-old Li Xuan, who had been cowering in the corner, and brought him out.

Unbridled, adorable, carefree.

Back to Li Xuan.

The atmosphere at Su Xingchuan's house was never as good as that at Li Xuan's house. On New Year's Day, Li Xuan brought Su Xingchuan home for dinner again.

Su Xingchuan helps in the kitchen.

Li Xuan just lounged on the couch with a big grin and ate a snack.

Xu Zhengdong walks in, takes off his jacket and sits next to him, and puts his hand in his snack bag, which he doesn't like, and strangles the sealing pocket to prevent Xu Zhengdong from taking more.

"This is the chips and cookies Su Xingchuan made me."

Because two people often nest in the house, Li Xuan snacks more and more often, Su Xingchuan afraid of puffed food eat too much on Li Xuan's body is not good, think about it, decided to make homemade snacks at home.

Made chips and cookies and they tasted great.

Xu Zhengdong gave a cut, "Having a husband and forgetting your uncle."

Li Xuan asked, "Uncle, did you change boyfriends again?"

"Changed."

"Why did the last one break up?"

"How is it possible that he's so tossed off and keeps asking me to go abroad with him to get a license?"

Li Xuan wondered, "Why is it impossible? Don't you like him?"

"Do you have to get a license if you like it? Like is just like."

Li Xuan shook his head, "Then it's not like."

Xu Zhengdong squinted and smiled, "So what's like?"

"Like not only do I want to get a license, but I want to be with him in this life and the next."

Xu Zhengdong got goosebumps and waved his hand, "That's better, uncle still wants to play until he's fifty."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Nianzhi's voice came from above his head, "What? Fifty years old? How dare you!"

Xu Zhengdong shivered in fear and quickly explained, "Just kidding sis, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!"

Li Xuan took advantage of the chaos to snatch the bag of chips back, clutching it in his arms, and got up to look for Su Xingchuan, who was mixing the gazpacho.

Li Xuan said, "I want to go out and play."

"Where to?"

"I want to go abroad to get a license, and on a snowy day, we'll find a church and go there with the ring."

Li Xuan paints a picture, and Su Xingchuan stops to see him.

Li Xuan cocked his head and asked, "Well?"

Su Xingchuan smiled, "I think it's great."

When the last course was served and the family was finally done, Xu Nianzhi asked, "Is Xingchuan still in Zhongjin?"

"I'll be back to the company in a couple of days," Su Xingchuan replied, "The pre-listing preparations are all over, so I won't have to stay in Zhongjin after that, and I'll just run around when I have something to do."

"That's going to be hard work."

"It's not hard, it's been easy this time."

Xu Nianzhi smiled, "That's right, Zhengdong didn't give you a hard time, did he?"

"Of course not."

Xu Zhengdong defended himself, "What do you mean I'm making things difficult for him? I liked him right away--"

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Xuan stared at him, "What?"

"Fancy him as a boyfriend for Xuan."

Li Xuan was relieved.

"How could I give him a hard time? I've always taken care of Xingchuan."

Su Xingchuan spoke for Xu Zhengdong, "Yes, my uncle takes special care of me, and now my boss treats me especially well."

Li Xuan seized the point: "Did he treat you badly before?"

Su Xingchuan laughed, "Neither."

Li Xuan frowned and pounded the bowl with his chopsticks.

Xu Zhengdong observed him, then said to Su Xingchuan, "This is the beginning of a grudge, this Dr. Li of our family, number one in grudges, don't let him run into your boss, it's going to take a life."

Su Xingchuan smiled and gave Li Xuan a piece of ribs.

He whispered in Li Xuan's ear, "I am highly regarded in the company, Xuanxuan don't think nonsense."

After dinner, Xu Zhengdong calls Su Xingchuan out.

Xu Zhengdong and Li Xuan's father both drank a little too much and got a little drunk, he waved at Su Xingchuan, "Xingchuan ah, come here, let me show you something."

Su Xingchuan walked over curiously.

"Let me show you a video, five years ago, taken the year Xuanxuan just graduated," Xu Zhengdong smiled, looking at Li Xuan in the video with tender loving eyes, "Didn't you guys miss seven years? I'll make it up to you."

The video was shot by Xu Zhengdong.

His voice acted as background noise.

The scene begins in the living room, where Xu Nianzhi and Li Xuan's father are wrapping dumplings in a brightly lit room.

The party was playing on the big TV in the living room and two kittens were jumping around on the couch.

The whole house was filled with the cheerful atmosphere of the New Year.

"What kind of stuffing do we have today?" Xu Zhengdong asked.

Xu Nianzhi smiles and says, "Sanshin, and pork and shrimp."

Xu Zhengdong turned the camera to the kittens again and spat, "You two are so fat, you're chubby as balls."

The kitten rolls over and exposes its belly to Xu Zhengdong.

"I don't touch, I don't like you guys."

Xu Zhengdong said, but still squatted down and reached out to touch the kitten's pink and soft belly, he asked: "Xuanxuan?"

Xu Nianzhi looked around, "I don't see it."

Xu Zhengdong's camera travels around the house and finally finds him on the balcony of Li Xuan's room.

Li Xuan hugged his knees and sat on a stool, staring blankly out of the window. When he heard footsteps, he immediately huffed and turned to the corner, his back to Xu Zhengdong.

"Let's see a little crybaby over here."

Li Xuan said in a muffled voice, "You're out."

"Crying again, just lost a love, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year to cry, eyes still do not want it?" Xu Zhengdong said.

Xu Zhengdong approaches Li Xuan, and the camera gets closer.

Li Xuan's swollen eyes became clearer and clearer.

"Tell Uncle what is your New Year's resolution?"

Li Xuan hugs his knees, chin on his arms, choking sobs subsiding as he says, "No New Year's resolutions."

"Still miss him?"

Su Xingchuan looked at the twenty-two year old Li Xuan, whose baby fat had not completely faded and who still had a childish face, and watched his bean-sized tears fall one by one, and his heart ached so much that he could not speak.

Li Xuan cried and asked, "Uncle, will I never get out?"

Xu Zhengdong said, "No, you've only been talking for a few months, how can you have deep feelings? In half a year at most, you'll be able to walk out, and then uncle will introduce you to a new man."

Li Xuan, however, shook his head, "I'm not talking about it."

Xu Zhengdong froze, "What?"

Li Xuan hugged his knees, cried uncontrollably, and said pathetically, "I'll never have a relationship again, I hate relationships."

"--Uncle!"

Before the video finished, Li Xuan rushed to the balcony and grabbed Xu Zhengdong's cell phone, "What are you showing him?"

Xu Zhengdong was startled.

Li Xuan's crying voice is still playing on the phone, "I don't want a relationship ......"

Li Xuan bashful cheeks red.

Xu Zhengdong laughed and Su Xingchuan reached out to put his arm around Li Xuan, but Li Xuan threw it away and said, "I hate you."

He looked at Xu Zhengdong again, "And you."

Li Xuan bangs the glass door shut and shuts Xu Zhengdong and Su Xingchuan on the balcony for some soul-searching.
