Chapter 33 – Ending chapter

The next morning, Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun who was wearing a sarong. He looked up and down carefully. After watching him again, he came to the conclusion, “You should take it off, it’s too attractive.”

 

Qi Yun looked at himself in the mirror and then looked at Xing Zhongwan, “What? Afraid that I’ll be robbed on the street?”

 

Xing Zhongwan pulled the sarong around Qi Yun’s waist, “That’s different. Only I can see my fairy sister. You’re too ethereal!”

 

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, “But I want to wear the same clothes as you.” The pulling hand stopped. Xing Zhongwan raised his head and the noses of the two people accidentally touched each other, “Well, then I have to hold your hand well. If any hooligan dares take you away, I’ll cry to death.”

 

Xing Zhongwan, who was joking, took his precious fairy sister to the market.

 

Along the way, Xing Zhongwan, dressed like a flower peac0ck, bought many novel gadgets along the way. Qi Yun, who was following behind, worked tirelessly to carry the bag and had to also offer a spare hand for Xing Zhongwan to hold.

 

Xing Zhongwan bargained in front of a small stall to buy a piece of hand-woven cloth. Just as he was about to pay for it, the proprietress smiled and took out a smaller piece, pointing to Qi Yun who was standing behind him and said in less fluent English, “Gift to your girlfriend.”

 

Xing Zhongwan held the banknotes in his hand and smirked. He turned to face his expressionless “girlfriend” and said, “Don’t you want to thank the lady boss, they gave it to you.”

 

Qi Yun was wearing a dress today. Under the light-colored shirt and light-colored sarong, he looked clean like a white lotus with an otherworldly aura. With that face, even Xing Zhongwan couldn’t hold back.

 

He took the small piece of fabric and said, “He’s my wife.”

 

Xing Zhongwan touched Qi Yun, “Go thank the lady boss who gave it to you. Just smile.”

 

Qi Yun curled his lips and thanked her very quietly.

 

This smile softened the boss’s smile, so she stuffed Xing Zhongwan with many more small gifts.

 

Xing Zhongwan left the stall and said to Qi Yun with satisfaction, “Sure enough, the fairy’s smile is extraordinary. She will remember you forever in the future.” The two returned to their car with their hands full. Xing Zhongwan wiped his sweat, “This will help get rid of the wolves, tigers and leopards. We will be bringing a lot back.”

 

Thinking about it, he was a little unwilling to take out his mobile phone so he hugged Qi Yun, “Come on, wife. Let’s scatter some dog food to taunt them.”

 

Holding the phone at an angle, Xing Zhongwan smiled and said, “I’m going to take a photo.”

 

Qi Yun suddenly turned his head and kissed him on the cheek. This photo was then sent to the group…

 

Xue Qing: Laoniang had to chair two conferences in a row and you show me this!!! How unreasonable!

 

Shen Congxin: You are a bad example to children!!! I also want a girlfriend, I also want to show affection, kiss and hug.

 

Xue Qing: …

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: …

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: Laoxing, you look very busy. I will give you the shopping list from a duty-free shop that I want. Remember to buy it for me.

 

Shen Congxin: Me too.

 

Xue Qing sent the shopping list immediately.

 

There was no sound from Xing Zhongwan for a long time.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: Where did these two go?

 

Xue Qing: I guess he went to do something bad.

 

Shen Congxin: What’s the bad thing?

 

Xue Qing: The children stay here!

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: The children stay and don’t go!

 

After the two who finished doing bad things, Xing Zhongwan rubbed his kissed red and swollen lips and picked up the phone. He looked at the shopping list in the chat and swore three times in a row.You idiots!

 

Xing Zhongwan and Xue Qing loved betting. They have never lost from small bets to big ones, but Xing Zhongwan feels that his luck has deteriorated ever since he was with Qi Yun.

 

For example, Xing Zhongwan lost again this time and the price of losing was to wear women’s clothes at the company’s annual meeting. Xing Zhongwan gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn’t say anything.

 

On the day of the annual meeting, everyone was looking forward to it. Their noble and glamorous big boss finally fell off the high stage. His cute cheongsam made the onlookers choke to death.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe looked at Xing Zhongwan with his long hair and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, “Awesome, you look like a real woman in a female’s clothing boss.”

 

After the noisy dinner, Xing Zhongwan drove back home before changing his clothes. Qi Yun went back to China for more than a month and no one told him about the dinner. Xing Zhongwan misses him a little.

 

Tonight, he drank a bit too much, so his footsteps were a bit erratic and he entered the wrong password twice to open the door.

 

Squinting at the man who was looking at him in front of him, Xing Zhongwan swallowed and suppressed the joy in his heart, “Why are you back today?”

 

Qi Yun stared blankly at Xing Zhongwan, who was standing at the door, dressed in white. The cheongsam was wrapped tightly around Xing Zhongwan’s body, with the high slits revealing his straight and slender legs. The tight ankles accentuated by the high heels of the same color that he had not had time to take off made Qi Yun’s whole body heat up uncontrollably.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt a little embarrassed and wanted to take off the wig on his head, “It was Xue Qing’s stupid idea, I’ll change it now.”

 

Xing Zhongwan just wanted to take off his shoes but the man who was still a few steps away suddenly stepped forward. He pushed him against the door and rested his head on the side of his neck, breathing hotly, “Don’t take it off.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment. The heat against his waist made him laugh. He rubbed against it and raised Qi Yun’s chin, “What do you want to do?”

 

Qi Yun’s cold face was rarely flushed, “fvck you.”

 

Then he leaned down and bit the complicated collar with his teeth. He raised his leg and hooked it around Qi Yun’s waist, “Hey, you just got off the plane, will you be okay?”

 

This provocative tone made Qi Yun let go of the collar he was biting on, and start sucking heavily on Xing Zhongwan’s neck, “Why don’t you try me, baby?”

 

As he spoke, his slender fingers lifted the cheongsam, revealing Xing Zhongwan’s snow-white chest. Qi Yun lowered his head little by little and licked Xing Zhongwan’s nipples and the little flesh quickly stood up. Xing Zhongwan stiffened, his d1ck was hard. Qi Yun knelt down and kissed his abdominal muscles, before pulling down his underwear along the slit of the cheongsam. Without the underwear restraining it, something popped out quickly, propping up the thin cheongsam’s fabric.

 

Xing Zhongwan groaned, “Hurry up.”

 

Qi Yun chuckled lightly. He supported both his legs that were crossed around his waist and strode to the room.

 

Xing Zhongwan was lying on the bed. He took out a tube of lubricant from under the pillow and threw it to Qi Yun before unbuttoning his cheongsam and spreading his legs on the bed. He looked back at Qi Yun and those long, narrow eyes were slightly squinted. The cold air was stimulating, brushing over the opening of his ass. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but let out a moan.

 

Qi Yun didn’t even have time to take off his shirt so he just unbuttoned his trousers, smeared his hand with the lube and poked into the slightly open little hole. After more than a month of being apart, the two of them were desperate. Qi Yun rubbed it twice before Xing Zhongwan grabbed his hand and let him in. Qi Yun stretched out his fingers and watched the pink hole dripping with transparent lubricant as he added his fingers one by one. His lower body was aching hard as he glanced at the garterbelt on Xing Zhongwan’s leg. He couldn’t bear it any longer, so he held his own pen-s and pushed the head into Xing Zhongwan’s little hole.

 

Xing Zhongwan grabbed the sheet and groaned. Qi Yun paused for a moment and he couldn’t help but ask if it hurt. Xing Zhongwan shook his head, “What? Just hurry up.” He thrust his butt behind him.

 

The tight pleasure was about to drive Qi Yun crazy. Then, in one single thrust, he pushed everything in and the two of them let out a pleasured groan at the same time.

 

While he was inside, Qi Yun couldn’t help twitching. At first, he didn’t dare to use force to let Xing Zhongwan get used to the sensation. In the end, he couldn’t bear it and thrust it in vigorously. The two-meter big bed creaked. He did not stop and Xing Zhongwan grabbed the sheets with both hands and couldn’t help but scream, Qi Yun leaned down and bit Xing Zhongwan’s neck, “Baby, does it feel good?”

 

Qi Yun stopped and pulled out slowly as Xing Zhongwan rolled over and pushed Qi Yun onto the bed. He sat with his legs apart and sat down little by little, holding onto Qi Yun’s member while going down on it. Qi Yun hugged Xing Zhongwan’s waist, looking at the cheongsam that was still half hanging on Xing Zhongwan’s body. His column buried deep in Xing Zhongwan’s body hardened up more and couldn’t help but squeeze Xing Zhongwan’s firm buttocks. He couldn’t help but thrust up, “Baby, please move.”

 

Xing Zhongwan twisted his waist and whispered in Qi Yun’s ear, “This thing under you really doesn’t match your face.”

 

Qi Yun touched Xing Zhongwan’s rosy lips, “But do you like it?”

 

Xing Zhongwan opened his mouth and bit Qi Yun’s lower lip, “I like it to death.” His hips began to rise and fall as Xing Zhongwan raised his head back. With his beautiful, slender neck leaning back, some sweat dripped onto Qi Yun’s firm abdomen. Qi Yun looked at his darling and bit the charming little buds on his chest.

 

“Wanwan, I would die without you.”

 

The slender fingers wrapped around Xing Zhongwan’s wet member. Xing Zhongwan opened his mouth slightly, and clenched heavily around Qi Yun. A burst of pleasure hit Qi Yun. He couldn’t endure it anymore and came.

 

Xing Zhongwan opened his wet eyes and carefully wiped away the sweat on Qi Yun’s forehead, “Hold me, let’s go wash up.”

 

Qi Yun looked at the beautiful member that was still standing tall at Xing Zhongwan’s crotch, “Wait, you haven’t finished yet.”

 

Xing Zhongwan hugged his neck, “I’m fine. Your waist will be sore if we do too much.”

 

Qi Yun kissed his hair. Putting him down on the bed, Xing Zhongwan, who was lying on his back, was disheveled. The white cheongsam was lifted up high, the slender and straight legs were covered in fine sweat. The flesh-colored garterbelt was attached to the pantyhose. Slightly reddened, some semen was clinging onto his folds. Qi Yun got hard again so he leaned down and pushed Xing Zhongwan down with some force. Xing Zhongwan moaned, clinging to his back tightly, “Be careful of your waist, Qi Yun gege.” The tone of the first half of the sentence was very serious, the second half was teasing. Qi Yun thrust hard and a loud moan spilled out of Xing Zhongwan’s mouth and he couldn’t help but squeeze him tightly. The small hole still let Qi Yun enter deeper. His legs wrapped around Qi Yun’s waist and his eyes were watery and cute, “Gege, it hurts.”

 

Qi Yun was taken aback. He lowered his head and didn’t know what to say. He grabbed his waist and thrusted hard. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help screaming when the head rubbed his prostate, “It’s there. More there, don’t stop! Qi Yun, ah…ah…don’t stop! Harder, ah! Gege, gege, hurry up!”

 

Qi Yun looked at the man with messy eyes under him. He leaned down and kissed the screaming mouth. I’ll give it to you, gege will give it to you, gege will give you everything.

 

During the violent thrusting, the mattress shook. Qi Yun’s abdomen was hot and sweaty as Xing Zhongwan came.

 

“Third young master, we’re here.” Qi Yun had been sleeping and his secretary woke him up. He opened his eyes and there was sweat on his forehead. He actually had a wet dream on the plane. He lowered his head and looked at his pants. Luckily it was covered by a blanket. He was in a hurry to get off the plane, but looks like he won’t be able to leave immediately.

 

When he looked down again, his phone was ringing. There was a photo sent by Xue Qing, “Look at your wife, he’s so pretty.”

 

In the photo, Xing Zhongwan was wearing a white cheongsam and light makeup. Qi Yun swallowed his saliva with difficulty. The soft member was hard again.

 

Seems like he won’t be able to get off this plane for now.

 

Wanwan, wait for me.

Chapter 33 – Ending chapter

Xing Zhongwan, wearing sunglasses, knocked on the door of Country X’s marriage application office

 

The blond-haired man got up quickly when he saw him, “You’re here? It’s all ready for you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took two marriage applications and looked at them carefully before smiling at the person who came, “Thank you.” 

 

The blond man bent over, “We’d be honoured to serve you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned around and went out the door. After walking a few steps, he couldn’t help but take out the application form and look at it again. The corners of his eyes were curved as he whistled.

 

His phone rang at the right time. Xing Zhongwan picked it up and Xue Qing’s loud voice made him quickly move away from the phone, 

 

“Lao Xing, why are you airlifting so many wood hibiscuses?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said with disgust, “Where are you? Why are you talking so loudly? I’m going to go deaf!”

 

Xue Qing hung up the phone decisively after a long while.

 

He then went to the parking lot humming a song. Xing Zhongwan was in a good mood today and so he’ll let her off this time.

 

Before the car started, his phone rang again.

 

“Laoniang is at the construction site. Didn’t this place need to be inspected? You haven’t answered me yet? So many wood hibiscuses, are you going to eat it all?”

 

Xing Zhongwan spun the steering wheel and exited the basement, “It’s for a proposal.”

 

Suddenly there was silence…

 

“Are you going to ask him to marry you, Laoxing? Would it even be possible to just hold a wedding? Hey, no, a wedding? Your marriage needs the approval of the royal family. Has it been approved?”

 

Xing Zhongwan only hummed a single syllable and Xue Qing could hear his joy.

 

With a sigh, Xue Qing swore at him for bullying a single dog like her.

 

“Have you found a venue? Is there anything I can help you with? Chinese or Western? Do you want a banquet?”

 

Xing Zhongwan stepped on the brakes at the red light, “They haven’t agreed yet. Why would you even ask that? It’s still too early.”

 

Xue Qing tutted for a long time, “Would your lover not agree? He has ‘Wanwan belongs to me’ written from head to toe. Might as well announce it with a loudspeaker. If he doesn’t agree, I will broadcast you shaving your head![/mfn]To become a monk probably. Some people also cut their hair when they’re overly sad due to a break up.[/mfn]“

 

Xing Zhongwan was amused, “Come on. He went back recently. I’m doing it the day after tomorrow. To be honest, I’m a little nervous.”

 

“You, Xing Zhongwan, are still nervous? Don’t make fun of me. If you are really concerned about messing up, you wouldn’t have skipped the marriage proposal to the marriage registration. The marriage proposal is just a formality.” Xue Qing disagreed. 

 

The weather was very cold and she was wrapped in a down jacket at the construction site. It was the worst that she was just fed a mouthful of dog food[/mfn]What information about a couple’s love affairs feels like to single people. It feels like eating dog food. Yuck.[/mfn].

 

“That’s not the same. I want him to be happy.” Xing Zhongwan smiled, “After all, I love him so much, don’t I?”

 

Ah… Xue Qing immediately hung up the phone. My days are numbered, Laoniang has to find someone to marry soon!

 

Xing Zhongwan instructed the servants to lay the wooden hibiscuses from the gate of the manor to the lawn of the Ruoda manor. With a cigarette in her mouth, Xue Qing poked Xing Zhongwan, who was still giving out instructions, “You are being over the top. Your lover is not a woman so why are you spending so much money?”

 

Xing Zhongwan obliquely glanced at her, “What do you know? In recent years, he has been quite obsessed with flowers, especially hibiscuses, but country X doesn’t have such flowers. I think he looks quite pitiful, so… I just want him to be happy.”

 

Xue Qing looked unconvinced, “In ancient times, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent lychees thousands of miles away.[/mfn]A famous emperor and his love conquest I guess haha.[/mfn] and now Xing Zhongwan is transporting hibiscus from other countries. You are so thoughtful, if Qi Yun is still unwilling, I will not agree to this marriage!”

 

Xing Zhongwan raised her wrist and looked at the time, “Stop talking nonsense. Is Lao Cheng going to pick it up?”

 

Xue Qing sat down on the chair by the fountain, “Go, don’t worry. If you don’t say anything, he won’t know what you’re doing today.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took out the application that already had his name signed on it and looked at it repeatedly. Xue Qing probed his head and pointed to the two pieces of flimsy papers in his hand, “You are just going to use this to propose?”

 

Xing Zhongwan cleared his throat. He felt like he owed Qi Yun. Thinking of the marriage applications in China that were framed like waste paper, he still felt a little pain in his heart. He understands that this piece of paper is really just a formality for the two of them now. Although Qi Yun never said it, he actually wanted it more than anything. He used to be unable to leave the country, but now that everything is over, Qi Yun followed him back to settle down in Country X. As such, this matter should be completed too.

 

The sound of a car horn came from the entrance of the manor, bringing Xing Zhongwan back to reality. Xue Qing suddenly stood up, “Come on, I sent a message to Lao Cheng and told him to stop the car at the door.”

 

Xing Zhongwan gave her a thumbs up and walked to the fountain with the marriage registration form.

 

Qi Yun opened the car door and got out. He took a deep breath. The air here was very fresh, mixed with the aroma of green grass. It was very pleasant.

 

He went back to China to deal with some things. After finishing the treatment, he rushed back to catch the plane overnight. He was tired, but no matter how tired he was, he couldn’t stop his urge to see Xing Zhongwan as soon as possible.

 

He dragged his suitcase and took a few steps forward. The servant did not come out to greet him as usual and it was strange enough that his car was parked at the gate and did not go in. Qi Yun didn’t think much. He just raised his head and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He saw the hibiscus flowers. Qi Yun dazedly clenched the hand holding his luggage handle and his Adam’s apple slid uncomfortably. He took two steps inside. Not far away, he saw Xing Zhongwan wearing a red suit with a smiling face. Although the view was beautiful, the man standing in a sea of ​​flowers occupied Qi Yun’s thoughts. He had an answer for the strange occurrences in his heart and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. Qi Yun’s heartbeat became faster and faster as he watched the fiery red figure draw close.

 

The man who thought about it day and night, holding a signed marriage application in his hand, said to him, “Qi Yun, let’s get married.”

 

The corners of Qi Yun’s eyes slowly turned red and Xing Zhongwan was a little nervous seeing him like that, “Hey, if you don’t agree, I’ll…”

 

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled into his arms. Qi Yun buried his face in Xing Zhongwan’s neck. It was warm and comfortable.

 

“Those should’ve been my words.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, “Would there be a difference?” He wrapped his arms around Qi Yun’s back and poked him, “You will feel at ease after we’re married, and you won’t have to keep worrying about me looking at my secretaries. You don’t even know that you are the type they like. You are completely worried about the wrong thing, I…”

 

His lips were sealed. Xing Zhongwan looked into Qi Yun’s eyes, and there was only him inside them.

 

Qi Yun took the pen and signed his name solemnly at the signature office. He inadvertently saw some creases on the corners. It was obvious that the papers were pinched so hard that they were wrinkled. Xing Zhongwan picked up the two application forms and put them in the document bag carefully, “I will send these to the notary tomorrow. Qi Yun, where do you want to hold the wedding? Aisha has wanted to be a witness for a long time.” 

 

Qi Yun propped his chin, quietly looked at Xing Zhongwan who was in high spirits. The fragrance of hibiscus flowers lingered on the tip of his nose, how could he not understand Wanwan’s sentiments?

 

Xing Zhongwan talked for a long time, but when he turned his head, he saw a face staring at him in a daze.

 

Xing Zhongwan teased him, “After so many years, do you think I am still super invincible and beautiful?”

 

Qi Yun smiled, pulled him onto his lap and sat him down, “My Wanwan has always been the prettiest.” 

 

The two looked at each other and smiled. Xue Qing was holding the camera not far away, “Look at the camera. It’s a pity not to take a photo to commemorate such a day.”

 

The two only looked at each other and Xue Qing was dissatisfied, “Qi Yun, so you do smile. You only smile very well at Lao Xing. You are so stiff in front of the camera.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe took the camera in her hand and said, “If you don’t know how to take pictures, go to the side, I’ll do it.”

 

“Who said I can’t, give me the camera!”

 

“No, I’ll do it!” 

 

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel. Xing Zhongwan raised his hand to touch Qi Yun’s face, “Are you tired?”

 

Qi Yun shook his head at him and was about to kiss his lips.

 

“Come on, look at the camera.” Xue Qing suddenly shouted.

 

Qi Yun turned his face, Xing Zhongwan lowered his head slightly and dropped a kiss on his cheek. At the same time, a shallow smile bloomed at the corner of Qi Yun’s mouth.

 

Click, went the sound of the shutter.

 

In the photo, there were two men. One was looking at the camera, and the other was not. 

 

My smile is only for you. 

Likewise, my eyes are only for you, who smiled for me.     

 

The day when Qi Yun got his passport, the first thing Xing Zhongwandid did was put down the work at hand and call back Xue Qing and Cheng Zhengzhe who were on vacation on an island. He then booked air tickets for them as soon as possible for a country where they can get a visa upon arrival. He then packed up and took Qi Yun on a vacation. 

 

There was a chat group with five people Inside. Xing Zhongwan just got off the plane and turned on his mobile phone when a rush of information hit his face.

 

Xue Qing: I’m going to die, Lao Xing! Laoniang was suddenly called back when her fresh meat was only half soaked. Do you know how it feels? It’s like holding back forever and then getting blue balled, you know?

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: Don’t listen to the nonsense of the tigress. She’s undergoing menopause. Ignore her, you guys have fun.

 

Xue Qing: Just you wait in the office. Don’t think I won’t come and beat you to death.

 

Five minutes later…

 

Shen Congxin: I’m so envious, I really want to travel with people~ Unfortunately, I’m still a single dog. Cousin please get me a souvenir~

 

Xue Qing: I’m asking for a souvenir too!

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: A souvenir please!!

 

Xing Zhongwan: All of you, get lost! Do you not have any souvenirs from when you went on vacation yourselves? What were you doing? Shoo shoo shoo!

 

Xue Qing: Qi Yun, aren’t you worried about your wife? We’re being worked like cows and horses all day long…

 

[A message has been sent.]

 

It was rare for Qi Yun to send a message in the group, let alone send 100 red packets[/mfn]Something like venmo. He just sent them some cash.[/mfn] in a row.

 

But he successfully silenced these mouths that were green with envy.

 

Putting on his sunglasses, Xing Zhongwan squinted at him with a small fan in his hand, “Why did you give them red envelopes?” 

 

Then he clicked on his mobile phone for a long time. Those people accepted them really fast.

 

Looking at Qi Yun with an unhappy face, “I don’t get it. Why didn’t you just send me one?”

 

Qi Yun helplessly touched  his head, “The limit has been reached. I will send it to you tomorrow morning.”

 

Xing Zhongwan interrupted him and said, “I don’t care about your money.”

 

Qi Yun pursed his lips and smiled, “Yes, you don’t care about my money, but you care about me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan slapped him on his forehead, “Don’t be so full of yourself… if only your face…”

 

Having said that, he couldn’t help rubbing his lower back with his hands, “I deliberately picked a flight with a short distance, but is your waist still sore?”

 

Feeling the comfortable massaging motions on his waist, Qi Yun couldn’t help reaching out and grabbing the slender hand, “It’s okay, don’t worry. I’m not as weak as you think.”

 

Xing Zhongwan patted his hand away, ” I’m really worried about your old injury at your waist. Lie on my lap. I’ll rub it for you.”

 

Qi Yun did so obediently. Xing Zhongwan sighed while rubbing, “Forget gege. Your body’s more like an uncle.”

 

Qi Yun put one hand on Xing Zhongwan’s lap, it felt good.

 

“Wanwan, I’m not much older than you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan interrupted him, “Take good care of your body. You only started gaining some weight in the past few years, tsk tsk. It’s not easy for me. Just how did I become a nanny after I met you? I have to sleep with you, and when I eat… Why do I have to live like this?”

 

Qi Yun closed his eyes comfortably, “You didn’t let me in the kitchen.”

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but feel chills on his back when he thought of the kitchen that had been used by Qi Yun. It was like after a rough storm. Forget it, fairies are bound to float in the sky, let him, a mortal, handle all the normal labour.

 

The place where they’re living is a small villa near the sea, very quiet. Xing Zhongwan simply unpacked his luggage and dragged Qi Yun out for food. After finding a small restaurant and ordering something, Xing Zhongwan slumped on the stool and enjoyed the night wind absentmindedly.

 

Qi Yun sat beside him and fanned him. The wind chased away the mosquitoes and he looked at Wanwan with a smile on his face. He was really tired over the past few years. A few years ago, when he couldn’t go abroad, Xing Zhongwan told him that he was fine, but he had worked very hard in the past few years and let Xue Qing and Cheng Zhengzhe rest more. When he obtained his passport, he could now accompany Qi Yun to go and play everywhere. 

 

He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to touch his snow-white cheeks. Xing Zhongwan turned his head back and suddenly stretched out his hand to hang on Qi Yun’s shoulder. He kissed him on the cheek, “I’m hungry.”

 

Qi Yun patted him amusedly as Xing Zhongwan shook his head, “No. Don’t rush the chef or else the food won’t taste good. Can you please give me a kiss?”

 

Qi Yun turned his head to the side and kissed him on the ear, “En, let me kiss you.”

 

While talking, he still didn’t forget to free up a hand to chase away mosquitoes for him. Xing Zhongwan always attracted the mosquitoes. If he is not careful, he will be covered in bites. Since he was bitten by a mosquito a lot, they once swelled up and Qi Yun had to take him to the emergency room in fright. In the summer, as long as the two of them went outdoors, Qi Yun would always hand Xing Zhongwan a mosquito repellent out of reflex.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s mouth was full of curry chicken with a smile, “It’s great to travel. I don’t have to think about anything and no one knows me. I’m just a free bird, I can go wherever I want.”

 

Qi Yun wiped the curry from his mouth with a tissue, “I think you usually have the same freedom, you just choose not to do whatever you want.”

 

Xing Zhongwan waved at him, “I still have to care a little. I want to wear a big vest and big pants every day. I want to step on the runway and drop everything for my uninhibited love for freedom but it is impossible. It must be bright and beautiful in front of everyone. I represent not only Xing Zhongwan, but also the whole group. I’m so very tired.”

 

Qi Yun put a mango into his mouth with a fork, “To my bright and beautiful Boss Xing, I hope I didn’t embarrass you.”

 

“I’m angry when you talk about this.” Xing Zhongwan put down the spoon and said, “Since my secretaries met you, I have no place in their hearts. You are unattainable in their hearts, so they said if they can’t be with you, they’ll just leave. What shit luck.”

 

Qi Yun lowered his eyes, with a smile on his lips, “I can only be with you due to my shit luck.”

 

Xing Zhongwan nodded, “No, they are just confused by your appearance. You are actually black inside, so an honest person like me can’t expose you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was serious before he realised the nonsense he said and couldn’t help but laugh at the end.

 

There were a few little girls on the side and a few tourists couldn’t help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures of them.

 

Xing Zhongwan moved quickly and opened the folding fan to cover Qi Yun’s face, “If you want to take pictures, take pictures of me. My wife is shy, so don’t take pictures of him.” 

 

The girls who took pictures turned red and then looked at each other excitedly, “They’re a pair! They’re together!.”

 

A girl boldly said to them, “Be happy.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at them with a smile. He then looked at Qi Yun who was blocked by the fan, he leaned over and kissed him on the mouth.

 

He then immediately turned his head and smiled at the girl, “Thank you, we are very happy.”

 

Qi Yun put his arms around Xing Zhongwan’s waist in an odd way but it was to quickly kill a mosquito hovering near him.

 

Back at the residence, Xing Zhongwan came out of the bathroom. Qi Yun was leaning against the bedside reading a book. When he saw Xing Zhongwan, Qi Yun took the towel in his hand to dry his hair, “Where shall we go tomorrow?”

 

Xing Zhongwan closed his eyes comfortably, “Let’s go to the market and pick out gifts for those debt collectors. If you really go back empty-handed, Xue Qing is going to talk and her saliva can flood the entire group company.”

 

Qi Yun held back a smile, stared at Xing Zhongwan’s fair neck and kissed it. Xing Zhongwan reached out and slid his hand into Qi Yun’s hair, “Come on, I feel bad for your waist, so let’s not do any strenuous exercise.”

 

Qi Yun threw the towel in his hand on the bed and hugged Xing Zhongwan tightly from behind, “You’re beautiful. I can’t help it, so just kiss me, my dear.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned around. As their foreheads pressed against each other, their breaths intertwined, “I say this every time, but you don’t go overboard. Be obedient.”

 

Qi Yun rubbed his back, “Okay, we still have a lifetime. Don’t worry, we can take our time.”

Chapter 33 – Ending chapter

Xing Zhongwan flew back to Country X the very next day and didn’t let Qi Yun send him off. Before leaving, he instructed Shen Congxin to take good care of Qi Yun. Shen Congxin nodded his head like he was pounding garlic with it and swore to God that he would take very good care of Qi Yun.

 

Before Xing Zhongwan pulled the suitcase out, he turned his head and pointed at Qi Yun, who only waved his hands and smiled. Xing Zhongwan swallowed all the instructions that he was about to say as the corner of his mouth twitched, “I’ll be back soon.”

 

After Xing Zhongwan left, Qi Yun felt the emptiness of the house. He walked from room to room, opened the closet and took Xing Zhongwan’s clothes out and put them back several times. After going back and forth several times, Shen Congxin, who was watching, became more and more frightened.

 

Qi Yun turned his head to look at him with the usual indifference on his face, “You go back, too.”

 

Shen Congxin protected his chest with both hands and shook his head like a rattle. To restore his cousin-in-law’s impression of him, of course, he must perform well.

 

Qi Yun closed the cabinet door and read his mind, “Are you afraid of him?”

 

Shen Congxin nodded and then shook his head quickly.

 

Qi Yun didn’t push further. He told him to go away and left the dressing room. His secretary later called him. The scandal regarding Qi Yun has been suppressed. Who did it and their intention, Qi Yun already understood and there was no need to think deeply.

 

He was the only one left in the Qi family’s main family and after they made trouble with the other branches, they can no longer make a big wave. The Qi family has been in business for so many years and he has really ended it with his own hands. Without the Qi family, there is another royal family on top, the Li family. Those who are now on top must keep check on the others and keep the balance, but these private scuffles have nothing to do with him anymore.

 

Qi Yun has been fighting all his life and finally he was able to stop.

 

He picked up the watering can to water the small flowers and grasses on the balcony which were planted by Xing Zhongwan.

 

Shen Congxin looked at Qi Yun who was watering the plants with a gentle expression. Thinking that even his elder cousin was gentler towards flowers and plants, he couldn’t even compare to a small flower or grass.

 

Thinking of Xing Zhongwan’s request before leaving, he checked the time and went to the kitchen to bring medicine to Qi Yun.

 

Taking the bowl from Shen Congxin’s hand, he drank it without frowning.

 

Shen Congxin followed behind him, “Does cousin-in-law really want to move the company? Before his cousin-in-law went back, Deputy Director Chen came to him and talked for a long time. “I vaguely heard that he wanted the cousin-in-law to take over the Shen family. He said he wants to retire.”

 

Qi Yun hummed. Shen Congxin did not know if he heard what he said. He was sitting on the sofa and picked up a book quietly.

 

Shen Congxin continued, “Cousin-in-law didn’t agree. Deputy Director Chen asked him to reconsider.” Qi Yun’s slender fingers turned over a page, but he didn’t look up, “He doesn’t like being shackled down. His hands are full with the Xing family’s issues. I’m tired, so let’s not even bring up the Shen family, he won’t agree.”

 

Shen Congxin cleared his throat, “Big cousin, since you have nothing going on for now, why don’t you go lead the group?”

 

Qi Yun snorted softly and raised his head. His eyes stared straight at Shen Congxin who felt his scalp going numb, “I’m giving you three years. The Shen family will definitely be handed over to you in three years. If you encounter any difficult situations, go and explain it to Shen Qinghong yourself.”

 

Shen Congxin was shocked and wanted to reach out to hug his big cousin but he didn’t dare, “I’m obviously not talented enough. If I lose the group, how can I have the face to see my godmother?”

 

Qi Yun lowered his head and reached out his hand to him. Shen Congxin took a pen and put it in his hand with a bitter face. Qi Yun then wrote something.

 

“Tell that to Wanwan yourself. He’s found someone who can help you. But whether you screw it over, is all up to you.”

 

Shen Congxin’s doe eyes immediately widened, “Who is it?”

 

“Zhong Gang of Qingyuan Capital.”

 

Xing Zhongwan sat in the office, looking at the documents at hand. Xue Qing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, gave him a thumbs up, “How did you come up with such a bad idea? You actually handed Zhong Gang to that stupid boy Shen Congxin.”

 

Xing Zhongwan picked up the pen and signed the documents. He didn’t even have time to look up, “You don’t know what kind of person Shen Congxin is? Zhong Gang and Lao Cheng will never get together. If Lao Cheng turns gay, the earth will turn in the opposite direction.”

 

Xue Qing laughed, “Aren’t you bent as well? The sun didn’t end up rising from the west, did it?”

 

The pen cap was thrown at Xue Qing’s forehead quickly and ruthlessly and she was furious, “Xing Zhongwan, Laoniang is still a patient.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, “I’m very confident with Zhong Gang’s character. It’s good to have him with Shen Congxin. The most important thing is that Shen Congxin likes Zhong Gang quite a bit. Zhong Gang is patient with him too. It can also divert his attention from that old man, saving him from being a frightened bird all day long. As for what will really develop in the end, I can’t control it. Anyway, after three years, I have to take Qi Yun away. He doesn’t want the Qi family anymore, let alone the Shen family’s businesses.

 

Xue Qing snorted. After doing this much work, in the end, it was still for your lover.

 

Xing Zhongwan put down the pen in his hand, rubbed the end of his nose and looked at Xue Qing with his long and narrow eyes, “Plus you’re still here at the company.”

 

“Haven’t I worked very hard these past few years? Lao Xing, when you returned to China, didn’t you secretly invest a lot of money in the case under the chief clerk? You didn’t tell Qi Yun?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a sip of the coffee on the side, “Why should I tell him? Besides, it’s Aisha who came forward. The general affairs department needed some political achievements and Aisha needed a chance to perform. It was a deal that benefited both sides. Besides, I would like to thank the chief clerk. He suppressed a lot of bad news about Qi Yun. “

 

Xue Qing looked disdainful, “He got to become the hero who cleans up the mess and his position in this election is secured. It’s just that your lover is so stupid. Despite things being spoon-fed to him… He obviously could’ve suppressed the matter, but instead, he added fuel to the flames. I have never seen such a fool.”

 

Having said that, Xue Qing still admired Qi Yun in her heart. After all, his magnanimous dedication to Xing Zhongwan could be seen by anyone.

 

Xing Zhongwan held a thick document on the side, “His methods were a bit stupid. Anyway, I was the one who chose him.”

 

Suddenly there was a smile on his lips, “Who made him love me so much, right?”

 

“Hey…” Xue Qing’s teeth hurt, and she rolled her wheelchair to the door, “As long as you are happy.”

 

After Xing Zhongwan finished processing a table of documents, he threw the pen and stretched. The door of the office opened and Xie Yi came in to change his cup of coffee, “Boss, which secretaries are you going to bring back to China?”

 

Xing Zhongwan grabbed the cup and thought about it, “Let’s leave No. 3 and No. 4. I’ll go see the others.”

 

Xie Yi adjusted his glasses, “Would you like us to compete for the job?”

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his eyebrows, “I’ve never seen you all so active in taking the initiative before?”

 

Xie Yi was calm, “I want to visit the boss’ future wife too. How can we not be excited?”

 

Pfft…

 

Staring at his computer screen that was covered with coffee stains, Xing Zhongwan added another count of revenge to get Cheng Zhengzhe in his heart.

 

In the end, he personally selected the candidates. When Xie Yi left the office, Xing Zhongwan checked the time and took out his mobile phone before video-caling Qi Yun.

 

The phone line was connected quickly and Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun, who had obviously just taken a bath and had not had time to dry his hair on the screen. He opened his mouth and said, “Sister Fairy, you have to blow dry your hair, otherwise you will get a headache.”

 

Qi Yun smiled and took off the towel, “I’ll dry it later, are you still busy?”

 

Xing Zhongwan pointed the camera at the desk, “Look, it’s very hard to be the breadwinner of the family.”

 

“There was a chuckle, “I’m easy to raise, so you don’t have to work too hard.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was happy, leaning on the back of the chair. His smile even reached his eyes, “How could a fairy be easy to raise? If it’s not something good, how can I bring it for you? It’s not my style to be tacky.”

 

Qi Yun combed back the hair in front of his forehead with one hand. Xing Zhongwan on the screen was exhausted, even if he spoke very casually, Qi Yun knew he was tired.

 

“Wanwan, don’t worry. I’ll wait for you at home.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment and stretched out his hand to the corner of Qi Yun’s eyes on the screen, “Are you sure I don’t have to hurry? I miss you so much, Qi Yun.”

 

These words were very natural. Seeing that the tips of Qi Yun’s ears on the screen were quickly turning red and he was now looking away a little uncomfortably, Xing Zhongwan laughed.

 

“Don’t you miss me? I saw that you secretly put the shirt I wore on the bed, but I just didn’t have the nerve to expose you. Hahaha, do you like my smell? You can’t sleep without my smell, right?”

 

Seeing Qi Yun’s redness spread to the root of his neck, Xing Zhongwan suddenly felt that he was being too unkind, so he wanted to change the subject, only to see Qi Yun suddenly facing the screen and smiling, “Well, I miss you, Wanwan… Your shirt was wrinkled when I hugged and slept with it. I had to keep myself sane while you’re not here, so it got dirty last night but I didn’t want to wash it

 

“Qi Yun, you…” Xing Zhongwan choked on his saliva and pointed at Qi Yun’s gentle smiling face on the screen, “Just you wait!”

 

The smile on the corner of his mouth got bigger and bigger. Just as the video call ended, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

 

Shen Congxin’s head appeared through the crack of the door, “Big cousin, the hospital is calling, you… your mother passed away…”

 

The smile on Qi Yun’s mouth gradually faded. He turned his head, stunned. After a moment, he slowly stood up. “Prepare a car to go to the hospital.”

 

Qi Yun stood beside the hospital bed. There was a white cloth covering Guan Yang’s body and Qi Yun did not move forward.

 

Guan Yang committed suicide. This time, she was not as lucky as the previous two times. When she was found by the nurse, her body was already cold.

 

Qi Yun turned around. When he lifted his foot, a numbness almost made him kneel over. Shen Cong, who was beside him, wanted to give him a sympathetic pat, but was stopped by him.

 

Outside the ward, standing in the middle of the long hospital corridor, the hospital lights were dim in the middle of the night. Qi Yun glanced at the endless corridor. He touched his own heart, which was still beating but there was no other feeling. His mother has died. After so many years of grievances, Guan Yang was finally relieved.

 

Qi Yun slowly raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his dry eyes. Should he shed a few tears? After all this woman gave birth to him. This idea flashed in his mind, but Qi Yun denied it. One of the things she regretted the most was giving birth to him.

 

“Bury her and Qi Yuan together.”

 

Qi Yun had suddenly said to the secretary behind him. Qi Yun’s legs were still sore and numb. He was a little unsteady on the ground.

 

“At least I have a partner now.” He doesn’t know if he said this to reassure himself to justify his previous instructions.

 

The secretary looked at Qi Yun’s retreating back and sighed. His master was lucky, after all, he still has the young madam.

 

During the bi-weekly supervision and review, Qi Yun was stopped by the person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Office when he came out of the supervision committee, “When are you going to invite your partner to go out for a drink with us, I haven’t seen him in so many years.”

 

Qi Yun smiled, “Wait for him to come back.”

 

Seeing him smiling, the person in charge of the foreign affairs office was stunned, “I haven’t seen you smile for so many years. I felt sorry for you some time ago, to deny such a good opportunity. But now that I see you like this, I feel that you haven’t lost anything at all. You’re livelier now. But I saw your partner’s application, I approved his long-term entry permit and even personally stamped it. There is no shortage of benefits, right? I heard that the higher-up’s project is still unfinished and I was worried that I would not find an investor. Though a few days ago, a large amount of foreign investments came in. Regarding who did it, I don’t think you can deny that you don’t know.”

 

Qi Yun was a little surprised but his face still showed no emotion, “I really don’t know about this matter.”

 

The person in charge of the foreign affairs office didn’t care either.

 

“Now that you have retired, the pit that you dug has also been carefully removed. With no more rivals, the top leader has been re-elected. He also has a good reputation. He has been afraid of the Qi family for a long time now. But now that they have yielded, I’m afraid he’ll even laugh in his dreams about it. The matter between you and your family has given you some leeway, so that news has also been suppressed. Not to mention your partner being a male. Just look at the two of you, one going up in ranks while the other has the money to obtain power for each other. It’s not right if your partner doesn’t get to enter the country, you deserve to be together.”

 

Did we deserve to be together? Qi Yun smiled as he counted the days. He should be back soon.

 

Just as he was thinking this, a black off-road vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the two of them. The passenger’s window was lowered and a bright face like June’s early sun stuck out of the window. He took off his sunglasses and looked at Qi Yun, “Yun’er, I’m back.”

 

Qi Yun was shocked, but the smile on his face became wider, “Why are you back today?”

 

Xing Zhongwan opened the car door and got out. He said hello to the person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Office beside Qi Yun, ” Hello, I’m Xing Zhongwan.”

 

Stiffly stretching out his hand, the person in charge of the foreign affairs office coughed awkwardly and shook it. He didn’t dare to look at that face, he understood it all now.

 

In the past, he always wondered why Qi Yun was so obsessed with a man. That was until he saw it with his own eyes today. It was too invigorating…

 

“My Qi Yun caused you trouble before, I’m really sorry.”

 

After breaking out of his thoughts, Qingyue interrupted his apology. The person in charge of the foreign affairs office then got himself busy talking.

 

The two chatted and agreed on a meal appointment for the next time. Xing Zhongwan also gave him a lifetime membership card for his granddaughter to a large shopping mall.

 

Qi Yun was pulled into the car by Xing Zhongwan. He was still immersed in the joy of Xing Zhongwan’s sudden return and his bold words “My Qi Yun’.

 

Xing Zhongwan held his face and looked at it carefully, “Well, Shen Congxin didn’t let me down this time. Qi Yun, you’ve gained weight and your face has gotten better.”

 

Qi Yun grabbed his hand and looked intently at him, “Why didn’t you say a word when you came back? Was it supposed to be a surprise?”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “It was already too late to inform you after I got off the plane. So, I came to pick you up after I found out you were here.”

 

Qi Yun nodded with a smile. “It’s good that you came home.”

 

Xing Zhongwan stretched his arms around him tightly, “I can stay for half a month at most. I miss you, do you miss me?”

 

Qi Yun stroked his back, “Let me think about it.” There were two coughs in front of him, Xing Zhongwan let go of Qi Yun and pointed at the woman in the driver’s seat with a smile, “This is Xie Yi, my chief secretary who followed me this time.”

 

Xie Yi nodded to Qi Yun, “Hello sir, I’m Xie Yi.”

 

Qi Yun looked at the woman with neatly cut short hair and a serious but very beautiful expression. Suddenly he remembered the card that Xing Zhongwan gave out earlier.

 

“When did you build a shopping mall?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took off his burgundy coat and leaned on Qi Yun, “I just voted for its approval. Lao Cheng signed it on my behalf. Your deputy director Chen liked it. Qingyuan Capital is out of the question for me now because that’s my dowry for Xue Qing. If Qingyuan can’t get in, then we can just start a new company. The higher-ups wanted that land, the one above wanted to be developed, but he had no money. It just so happened that he wanted recognition and I wanted money, as such, the approval went very smoothly with Xue Qing watching over the head office. As long as the old foxes in the X country group get the profits, they wouldn’t care any less. I’ll make another Qingyuan, believe me. So just lie down at home and count the money.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said it casually, but it was not easy to convince the internal investment department of the group. Qi Yun rubbed his hands with some distress as his brows furrowed, “It’s hard work.”

 

Xie Yi in front snorted, “Don’t worry, sir. The boss is best at dealing with foxes, after all, he is one himself. If you don’t agree, he is all about the superficial side of things too  but he’s all about you, so don’t pay it much mind.”

 

Qi Yun lightly touched Xing Zhongwan’s forehead.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s face darkened, “To be called a fox is not a compliment! Xie Yi, you…”

 

Xie Yi turned the steering wheel, “Boss, shall we go to the Xing family’s house?” After saying this, Xing Zhongwan remembered that he had to go there and looked back. Looking at Qi Yun, “Is it alright that we go to the Xing family’s house and see my mother on the way this afternoon?”

 

Qi Yun agreed.

 

Xing Zhongwan put the hydrangeas in his hand respectfully in front of his mother’s tomb and pulled Qi Yun down to his knees and kowtowed.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun’s serious face while looking at the tombstone and pointed at Qi Yun with a grin, “Mom, I will spend the rest of my life with him in the future. He is Qi Yun. You saw him long ago. He was the one who threw your homemade pastries in the trash can. Mom, I said I wanted to marry him back then, but hey, I actually got married to him. If grandpa is unhappy about it, remember to persuade him to not scold me in my dreams. Anyway, I’m sticking with him for the rest of my life, so it’s useless to scold me about it.”

 

Qi Yun turned his head to look at Xing Zhongwan and Xing Zhongwan just looked back at him. Their hands were tightly clasped. They didn’t know who started to use holding the other’s hands first, but the two hands seem to naturally come together.

 

That was until Xing Zhengping came. Xing Zhongwan got up and talked to him.

 

When he turned around again, he saw Qi Yun was still kneeling. Afraid that his knees would get cold, Xing Zhongwan was going to help him, but he heard him talking very seriously to his mother.

 

“Auntie, I’m with Wanwan now. He won’t be able to continue the Xing family’s bloodline in the future. I’m sorry, but I can’t let him go, not in my life. I will treat him well. If you are angry, don’t go to his dreams. Come to mine and swear at me instead.”

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t listen any longer and laughed before pulling the person up, “Oh… Hey, don’t call her auntie, call her mom.”

 

With his arm around Qi Yun’s shoulder, he spoke, “According to what you said, that would mean you won’t be able to continue the Qi family’s bloodline too. Would I also have to kneel in front of my in-law’s house too?”

 

Qi Yun put his arms around his waist as they both went down the steps, “No need, I’ll kneel instead.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned his head and kissed him on the face, “You know what? My grandfather didn’t want to keep children. If my mother hadn’t found my grandfather while he was drunk, I wouldn’t have been born, so don’t blame yourself. “

 

Qi Yun raised his eyebrows and paused in his footsteps before finally touching his red lips. “Then I have to thank your mother. Without her courage, I would’ve never found you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan wrapped his arms around Qi Yun’s neck and smiled at him.

 

The weather was good and the air was cool. It was quiet.

 

Xing Zhongwan accompanied Qi Yun to the Qi family’s house. Qi Yun knew that Xing Zhongwan didn’t like the place, so he didn’t want to let him follow, but Xing Zhongwan refused because he wanted to help him move his books.

 

He offered to carry the books for him mainly because he was afraid that he would be hurt. After all, there were no good memories left from that place.

 

The Qi family’s old house is now empty and was ownerless. Many servants were removed and only a few were left to watch the house.

 

When he said he would move the books, Xing Zhongwan, in fact did not have to do this at all.  He only needed to instruct the workers to take down the books, pack, and seal them.

 

Xing Zhongwan held his chest with both hands, feeling emotional. Qi Yun, how much do you like reading books?

 

After thinking about it, he realized that Qi Yun was missing.

 

Xing Zhongwan went out of the study and searched for a long time. He finally found the person he was looking for in the backyard on the first floor.

 

A dark black sweater, slacks of the same color, and a clean and tidy back. Xing Zhongwan stood behind him and held his breath.

 

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Qi Yun’s profile, which was particularly soft.

 

When Qi Yun felt someone behind him, he turned around and smiled at Xing Zhongwan, pointing to the long path ahead.

 

“Wanwan, do you know where this road leads? This road leads to the Qi family’s ancestral hall. Because the two sides are full of planatus [/mfn] 梧桐树 (Wútóng shù) – The plane tree has been a frequent motif featured in Classical Chinese poetry as an embodiment of sorrowful sentiments due to its autumnal shedding of leaves. 

 

These trees were also mentioned before by Qi Yun; something about carrying the newest members (brides) of the Qi family through this path? :)[/mfn]trees, it is also called the plane corridor. Do you remember when I said that I’ll carry you through it myself when my legs are healed?”

 

Qi Yun smiled, his eyelashes were lowered lightly, but his eyes held a serious gaze.

 

Xing Zhongwan stepped forward and sighed, “I’m afraid your knees won’t be able to bear it.”

 

Qi Yun didn’t say a word, squatting slightly. Xing Zhongwan snorted, “I’ll be in your care.”

 

He stretched out his arms around Qi Yun’s neck and jumped up on his back. Qi Yun caught him steadily and held Xing Zhongwan’s legs with both hands.

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned his face against his neck, “Am I heavy?”

 

Qi Yun shook his head and took a steady step forward. Xing Zhongwan looked at the two towering phoenix trees and touched Qi Yun’s forehead, “You are too bold. Carrying me like this, tsk tsk.”

 

Qi Yun stepped on the fallen leaves below, “I dared to destroy the Qi family so I could carry the person that I love on my back. When we met, I already saved them enough face.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “Qi Yun, how long have you been thinking about carrying me through the entrance?”

 

Qi Yun lifted Xing Zhongwan’s body that had slipped upwards, “Since I fell in love with you. During the time you left, as long as I could fall asleep at night, I could always dream of walking this road with you behind my back. Then I thought about it. Why didn’t you come back to me when you said you wanted to marry me as that dirty boy from before?”

 

Xing Zhongwan buried his face on the back of Qi Yun’s neck. His eyes were a little red and he placed his hand in front of Qi Yun’s chest and held his sweater tightly.

 

“I love you, Qi Yun.”

 

Qi Yun stopped. He turned his face and kissed Xing Zhongwan’s warm forehead.

 

“We will always be together, Wanwan.”

 

“En, always together.”

 

Qi Yun continued to move forward with Xing Zhongwan on his back. After that, the sky got darker and the street lights were on, as the two intertwined figures’ shadows were cast on the road. You have me and I have you. We have each other.

 

Some fates may have been set when they first met and they can’t be broken or avoided.

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his head and hugged Qi Yun tightly, “Sister Fairy, how about I marry you when I grow up?” The spring breeze swept past and there was a rustling noise.

 

Qi Yun bent his knees and he put Xing Zhongwan down steadily at the end of the road before turning around, kissing the corner of his eye.

 

“Okay.”
