Chapter 257: Extra "After the Reunion" (III)

On the impotence family support platform, there are some experienced people's opinions, which are professionally recognized by Xie Qingcheng. For example, the treatment process should be gradual, the partner needs to mobilize the atmosphere, talk a little bit of love.

Xie Qingcheng doesn't know much about flirting, but he'll try his best.

Before you know it the weekend will be here.

The two took a cab and, as planned, they had to go first to pick out a birthday present for Old Qin's granddaughter.

After browsing through a few gift stores, where the items were beautiful and exquisite, but either too mature or lacking in novelty, neither of them was satisfied with what they saw, so they ended up going to a mobile market in Manhattan.

One of the advantages of picking up gifts at a mobile market is that it's easy to pick up one-of-a-kind handmade products. The stallholders may not have high prices, but they are very interesting. Xie Qingcheng finally fell in love with a handmade stone carving made by an old Indian man, which is only the size of the palm of his hand, and has been polished by the old man into the shape of a simple and vivid phoenix, which is a complete work of art.

Xie Qingcheng and He Yu were both very happy to find such a gift.

He Yu laughed, "After shopping for so long, would you like to go buy some snacks?"

Xie Qingcheng glanced at him, "You're craving it."

He Yu had spent the last two years living like a zombie, his teenage illness almost gone, and he was no longer so picky about food. Now that he was with Xie Qingcheng, he found the roadside stalls to be quite enjoyable; after all, a few months ago, he had looked on indifferently at the couples eating at the fly-filled restaurants outside of the university town, which he had envied at the time.

He thought, if only Xie Qingcheng was still around, even if it was the Sha Xian snacks that used to give him a headache just by looking at them, as long as it was with Xie Qingcheng, he would be willing to eat it for the rest of his life.

"I searched on Raiders and found a new tripe bun store." He Yu excitedly took Xie Qingcheng's hand and searched for it on Google Maps.

"The review says it's the same flavor as the tripe buns at the Florence fair, I'd like to try it. ...... Ah, there it is."

Sure enough, it's a very pocket-sized store, opened in a hut converted from a dark green newsstand, and the long line already forming in front of the door and the strong aroma wafting out suggests that the store is indeed living up to its name.

He Yu hesitated at the sight of the long line.

"Is ...... going to line up? Or ......"

He also knew that Xie Qingcheng disliked queuing, Xie Qingcheng has always been a very purposeful person, and time is like gold, spend half an hour just to buy a snack to satisfy the appetite, obviously not something he would like to do.

He Yu thought for a moment, "Or forget it, there's a vintage drugstore up ahead, we'll go to the drugstore and get an old-fashioned ice cream."

Xie Qingcheng raised his hand and flicked his forehead.

"It's okay, I'll line it up for you. You go get the ice cream."

He Yu's eyes widened and after a few seconds he smiled, "I don't want ice cream then."

"...... Why?"

He Yu said, "I want to stay with my brother."

Xie Qingcheng shallow against his forehead, for this kind of pampering like dependence, the daddy boy is certainly very popular, but he also hope that He Yu can get all kinds of satisfaction in this weekend date. He had seen He Yu searching for reviews several times on the way to the drugstore ice cream parlor, and was obviously very interested in it.

So he said, "I'm not going to run if I'm standing here, it'll take you ten minutes tops to buy an ice cream, go ahead."

He Yu: "But this is New York."

"What happened to ...... New York?"

"Ten minutes in New York could see Spider-Man chasing the Green Monster, Captain America chasing HYDRA, PymTech smashing down a tank, and Venom possessing innocent people."

"...... "Xie Qingcheng hasn't seen any of the movies he mentioned.

Xie Qingcheng doesn't like this kind of hero movie that young boys love to watch, he thinks it's childish and a waste of time, instead of buying a ticket and wasting two hours in the theater, he should do two hours of academic research at home.

Still, he was drawn to one of the key words for a moment.

"What's Pym Tech?"

The obsession of the man of science and technology.

He Yu : "This goes back to WWII, the movie ......"

Oh, so it's fictional too.

Xie Qingcheng lost interest when he heard "in the movie", he raised his big hand and rubbed the youth's hair, interrupting He Yu's popularization, and said, "You'd better go and buy ice cream, and buy one for me, I want one too."

When He Yu heard that he wanted it too, he was willing to go. He asked Xie Qingcheng what flavor he wanted, and then quickly ran to the vintage pharmacy.

New York, as it turns out, is indeed a magical place.

In the ten minutes that He Yu was gone, no big event like an alien invasion of Earth would happen, but other small accidents did happen.

Xie Qingcheng had been accosted by a very hot and sexy girl within ten minutes.

The small store, which claims to be comparable in flavor to the Florence Bazaar tripe bakery, attracts many Italians living and residing in the United States, who are notorious for ruffling feathers.

At the moment, Xie Qingcheng is winking and smiling at an Italian girl with brown curly hair and a cute kitten-like smile.

The little girl is a tourist, looks only 17 or 18 years old, the child's English is very bad, but the victory in the body language is rich, full of enthusiasm, to Xie Qingcheng a face of ice can also laugh and laugh good not embarrassed.

"YOU ARE SO......" speaking in broken English, the word handsome this kitten girl probably couldn't think of for a moment, so blinking her big watery eyes, revealing her tiger teeth and smiling, she spoke directly in her own native language. "bello!"

Of course, in order to facilitate Xie Qingcheng's understanding, the kitten girl also cheerfully compared to Xie Qingcheng's face.

The bouncy little sister had no sense of boundaries, her fingers almost touching Xie Qingcheng's face, and giving her a flying kiss at the end. And then she muttered a whole bunch of stuff, all in Italian this time.

Xie Qingcheng shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand, "......"

The kitten girl didn't mind and smiled as she took out her cell phone and typed a string of words praising his looks, Google translating them for Xie Qingcheng to see and wanting this handsome brother's contact information.

Just then, Xie Qingcheng suddenly heard a cry of hostility behind him: "What's wrong?"

He turned around to see He Yu standing there with two ice creams, although he was wearing a smile, the smile was very mechanical and completely a fake mask covering his face.

Xie Qingcheng has never felt so embarrassed to be caught in a flirting scene in his life.

Though he himself was not meant to.

The kitten girl looked at He Yu, not very interested, although He Yu is also handsome, but this girl is obviously like mature male models, to He Yu this kind of beautiful young man is not electric, swept him a glance and continued to tilt his head back to speak to Xie Qingcheng, as if He Yu does not exist at all.

It's just that her spoken English is so bad that Xie Qingcheng didn't understand a word of it.

It was He Yu, who had studied in Europe and could distinguish accents, who understood. His face quickly sank--this shameless little girl is here to catch a girl.

He Yu After all, the Sven scum, killing heart have, face is still light smile. He went forward, low and that little beauty very simply said a few sentences in Italian, the little beauty suddenly opened wide like a cat's eyes, eyeballs bone rolling looked at Xie Qingcheng, and then looked at He Yu, and finally "OH, NOOOO! Finally "OH, NOOOO!!!", with a face of three views shattered expression floated away, while walking also and their chat friends in the rapid speed of speech to share what.

Xie Qingcheng : "...... What did you say to the other little girl."

What a little girl! She's trying to pick you up! Don't let your guard down just because she's a little girl! You can't imagine how free spirited young girls are nowadays! It's always the uncle who gets the short end of the stick!

He Yu said, but not to Xie Qingcheng, a straight man with a stereotypical image of girls.

He handed the hazelnut-flavored ice cream to Xie Qingcheng, and this time he really smiled, rubbing warmth and softness away from his brows, "Me? I said brother you are my husband."

"......" Xie Qingcheng's eyebrows twitched, "What are you doing speaking such words to a little girl."

"So you can't tell ......"

He Yu's voice lowered, and he gave off just the right amount of uneasy expression.

In fact, Xie Qingcheng doesn't care about He Yu calling him his husband, in fact, it's right in the middle of the ten rings of horse's ass.

Plus He Yu looks like this ......

Where he was okay with saying anything about him.

Xie Qingcheng could only sigh and said, "...... Forget it, by you."

He Yu bowed his head and lowered his eyes, smiling lightly as he took a small lick of ice cream - he hadn't been honest with Xie Qingcheng.

He actually said Xie Qingcheng was his bottom in order to make that little girl completely dead.

Little sister still wants to hit Xie Qingcheng ......

He Yu sneered in his heart.

Let's see if we have what it takes to play fourth love and be this man's TOP first!

Finally, it's their turn, and since Xie Qingcheng doesn't like offal much, He Yu only ordered a tripe bun. The red-faced and smiling cook chopped up the simmering tomato tripe on the chopping board, filled it neatly into the crispy and charred bread, wrapped it up in brown greaseproof paper, and handed it to He Yu, fresh and hot.

One bite, the unique taste of tripe accompanied by the sweetness of Sicilian tomatoes, hot in the mouth, tripe tender, bread crisp hot, the flavor grows exponentially, pompously overflowing in the air.

He Yu took a deep breath, only to feel the happy factor swelling within him, the basil grass and tomato scent transporting his mind to a sunny summer day in Tuscany.

There's nothing more pleasurable than early summer sunshine.

"So delicious." Xie Qingcheng helped him with the ice cream and squinted over at him.

He Yu : "Yeah, too bad you don't like ......"

Before finishing his words, Xie Qingcheng suddenly stopped his steps, slightly turned his face sideways, and took a small bite of the tripe bun that He Yu had eaten right in front of His Yu's hand.

"............" He Yu was dumbfounded.

Xie Qingcheng is a bit of a clean freak in life, and he won't have anything too intimate with people in public, but he now lowered his head to He Yu's hand, biting the bread that He Yu had bitten, and his lips and teeth gently brushed against He Yu's fingertips.

Xie Qingcheng would have criticized He Yu for being unruly even if he had done this kind of thing before.

But now Xie Qingcheng himself is the one who is out of line.

He Yu could not even speak for a while, only staring at Xie Qingcheng's light-colored lips slightly opening and closing, the honey color of tomatoes faintly visible between his thin lips.

"Good, good?"

Xie Qingcheng really savored it for a while, then said to He Yu, "Not bad, you have a good eye."

He Yu: "............"

Why does it sound so weird? It feels like Xie Qingcheng is deliberately looking for something to praise him ...... The act of biting into the tripe buns also seems very deliberate ......

He Yu pondered over it himself after coming back to his senses, and finally came to a conclusion--

Xie Qingcheng really acts like one of those year-old, high-brow guys who goes on a first date with the girl of his choice, and there's something about being tolerant, creating an atmosphere, and trying to make the girl happy. ......

After realizing this, He Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Let's hope he's overthinking it ......

.

The two brought a bouquet of lilies and arrived at Michael's house at the appointed time.

Qin Ciyan's little granddaughter, with the help of her father, baked them a heavy cheesecake, and even though it didn't taste very good, He Yu and Xie Qingcheng both finished it and said it was the best cake they'd ever eaten. The little girls were all smiles and jumped into each of their arms, giving them a sweet, soft kiss.

"But Uncle Xie, you're going back home soon, right?"

"Uh-huh." Xie Qingcheng said, "I'll go back at the end of the month."

"Oh ......," the little girl shrugged down her eyebrows, obviously a little lost.

Her father smiled and picked her up, "You can go to Huzhou on vacation to play, Uncle Xie has a little niece, tiny and cute, you'll be good friends."

The little girl pricked her ears again, "Really?"

Xie Qingcheng smiled and assured her, "Really."

He has always been gentle with children, and no child could fail to love him.

The little girl squealed cheerfully, wrenched herself from her father's hands, and, ignoring the somewhat sour look in her brother He Yu's eyes, flung herself into Xie Qingcheng's arms again.

As the two left Michael's house and walked among the lawns of Flower Lane, He Yu, with his head down and kicking at the gravel, suddenly said, "You didn't even hug me that much when I was a kid."

Xie Qingcheng browned for a moment, then said, "...... Isn't that something you don't want to do yourself?"

"......"

"You struggled for ages when I carried you back to the clinic."

He Yu had nothing more to say, grabbing a leaf of a hydrangea from the nearby grass and rubbing it between his fingers. The juice of the plant's leaves was very sweet, but with some greenish sourness.

Xie Qingcheng stopped walking, "Then why don't I carry you back now."

He Yu originally had a sullen look like he was about to cry after a big loss, but after a pause, he raised his eyes to aim at him and realized that the man was serious, surprisingly serious, so he couldn't help but break into a smile.

"That sanitarium doctor is going to come after me."

Saying that, he turned his head sideways and gave Xie Qingcheng a quick kiss on the lips on the garden path.

"I wish I hadn't liked you when I was in middle school."

"...... That's called early love."

He Yu smiled but did not answer.

Well, early love is nothing, if he can like Xie Qingcheng when his love sinus is in the beginning, when he was in middle school, he dared to use the excuse of letting Xie Qingcheng come to his room to give him a doctor's appointment, lock the door unlocked, and then press this man who is thirteen years older than himself behind the door panel, and then ......

"There's a cab coming."

Xie Qingcheng suddenly interrupted his absurd reverie, raising his hand to signal a taxi from far away to drive toward the alley in the neighborhood where they were walking.

He Yu's pretty face, which was full of waste material, suddenly turned red and immediately returned to her senses, "...... Ahem, time, time is still early, where are we going next?"

Xie Qingcheng quickly gave him an unexpected answer.

--Library.

A dating sanctuary for men of science and technology.

In Xie Qingcheng's mind, libraries are the best places to create an atmosphere.

Of course he owes his confidence in his own misperceptions to the girls who used to chase him, including his ex-wife Li Ruoqiu.

They never let him say where to go because they love him, they will not tell him, this behavior will make him like a textbook cultivated into a handsome man, handsome man is good, but the textbook is boring. The girls are keen to go to the library not because they want to read books, but because they want to see the face of this uninteresting handsome man.

"...... What are we doing here?"

Date and create some atmosphere that will help you heal.

Xie Qingcheng thought this in his mind, but due to the teenager's face, he only said with discretion, "Sit with me."

I'd be happy to sleep with you, not to mention sit with you.

He Yu heard Xie Qingcheng say so, so he smiled tamely again, and found a seat by the window with him.

Xie Qingcheng went to pick out some books.

Thank goodness the textbook handsome man didn't pick any Psychology of Personality, he wanted He Yu to feel the warm atmosphere, so he thought carefully and then chose two books to take back.

Both were poetry books, and the ultimate romance Professor Xie could think of was for the two of them to each have a book of poems, read them, share their opinions with each other, and then spend the afternoon in the library.

Wenqing of course does not understand the brain circuit of the polytechnic man, although he cooperated and sat next to Xie Qingcheng for a while, but the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he felt-

Did they get out of the ward so hard that they were just sitting in the library reading poetry?

And "Birds of Prey" he has read no less than twenty times, not only read the English version and Chinese version, but also read the French, Italian and German version, he can memorize things, where still look into.

Because Xie Qingcheng personally picked the book for him, he couldn't stand up and return it, so he had to start revisiting it in a daze.

The afternoon sun was bright, shining through the immaculate glass windows, and Tagore's warm, wise ramblings murmured on the page.

He Yu Looked at, the heart slowly calm down, only some of the calm over the head, the head swayed back and forth twice, and finally ......

"......" Xie Qingcheng felt a sudden weight fall on his shoulders, and the tips of his fingers turning the pages paused for a moment.

He turned his head sideways to the young man who had fallen asleep against his shoulder.

The youth's white shirt had a faint scent of soapberry, and his eyelashes, which hung down to cover them, were as pretty as mist.

"......"

I can't believe I fell asleep.

Xie Qingcheng looked at him, somewhat speechless.

But he didn't move again, and in the crushed gold sunlight, he slowly slowed his breathing, letting his little boyfriend rest on his shoulder, reassuringly, for a long time ......
