Chapter 82 The flowers have faded and I have a partner.
After returning to the villa, Xia Huanming just couldn't be happy. Fortunately, he was a very quiet person and sat quietly on the sofa so no one noticed anything wrong.
"Oh, you've been missing for a while, so you went to buy flowers?" Zheng Peiya asked Chen Xing with a smile, "What beautiful flowers."
"Yeah, that's right," Chen Xing put the bouquet on the coffee table, "I went to many places."
"Why do you suddenly want to buy flowers?" Zheng Peiya asked.
Xia Huanming stared at Chen Xing to see how he would answer.
Chen Xing was very calm and replied to Zheng Peiya: "I want to buy a bunch of flowers to take care of them. It makes me feel good."
Xue Si Nian understood immediately and nodded: "That's true, my mother is like this, she buys some flowers when she's in a good mood."
Zhao Xingyu interrupted with some joy: "Oh, my mom is the same."
The two of them inexplicably high-fived each other and reached a consensus: "Same world, same mother."
"That's enough for the two of you. You're in sync again." Zheng Qi pushed through the crowd and raised his chin towards Xia Huanming, "Ah Huan, there's a package."
"Package?" Xia Huanming stood up. "Whose is it?"
Everyone followed Zheng Qi to the dining table. There was a large cardboard box on the floor near the kitchen.
Xia Huanming and Zhao Xingyu put the thing on the table together, and the photographer came over tactfully and pointed the camera at them.
"The production team said that the guests sent it here," Xue Si Nian put her hand on Zheng Pei Ya's shoulder, "There is a guest return visit segment."
Wang Baiyue took a pair of scissors from the kitchen: "We were waiting for you two to come back to take it apart together."
"Then let's tear it down now." said Chen Xing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baiyue cut the tape neatly and opened the box from the middle.
Seven people poked their heads out to see what was in the box.
Unexpectedly, there were several small packages of different sizes inside the big package, but each package had a piece of paper with a name on it.
Xia Huanming handed them out one by one: "This is for Pei Ya, Si Nian, Yue Ge, Xing Yu, Qi Ge... mine, and Xing Xing's."
Everyone received their own small package and took turns opening it in front of the camera.
Zheng Peiya's gift was a three-piece Russian stationery set, while Xue Si Nian's gift was a very beautiful light blue long skirt with a slightly tight waist, which was just the right size for Xue Si Nian.
Everyone looked at the long dress that shone brightly under the light, and they already had the answer in their hearts.
Such a luxurious item must have been sent by Xu Yuancai.
"Try it on quickly, try it on quickly." Everyone cheered and asked Xue Si Nian to try it on.
Xue Si Nian was a little shy, so she held her skirt and went back to her room to try on the clothes.
Wang Baiyue’s gift was the motorcycle gloves, and Zheng Qi’s gift was custom-made leather shoes from Norway.
These are things they wanted but didn't buy because they were too expensive.
"Our Sister Cai is real and has high emotional intelligence," Wang Baiyue couldn't let go of the motorcycle gloves because Xu Yuancai thoughtfully bought her a pair for couples.
Buying gifts for someone who is in a relationship is the best thing to do.
"What's mine?" Zhao Xingyu couldn't wait to open his package. It was a game cartridge with a signature on it. "Oh my God! Isn't this a special game card? Where did she get it? Xu Yuancai will always be my sister!"
While Zhao Xingyu was spinning around with the box in his arms, Chen Xing opened his package, revealing a box with "Paul Smith" written on it.
When Chen Xing opened it, he found a crystal clear men's perfume - Story.
This was the perfume Xu Yuancai mentioned unintentionally when they were chatting last time. She said that this fragrance was very suitable for Chen Xing. It had citrus and Chen Xing's favorite floral scents. The only pity was that it had been discontinued.
She can even buy back discontinued perfumes, which shows how extensive Xu Yuancai's network is.
Of course Chen Xing was reluctant to spray it now, he wanted to wait until an important occasion to try again, so he closed the box, turned around and asked Xia Huanming: "What's yours?" But he saw Xia Huanming holding a few photos and was fascinated by them, and didn't hear him at all.
Chen Xing leaned over to take a look and was immediately shocked.
Xu Yuancai sent eight photos to Xia Huanming, all of which were of Chen Xing during his college years.
Whether it's the moment when the band is rehearsing or after a competition abroad, his pink hair is flamboyant and eye-catching in the crowd.
He looked at himself in some of the photos as if he were a stranger. He had no idea when they were taken. He only remembered the pink hair.
"Why do I give you this?" Chen Xing asked.
"She knows I really want to know what you were like in college," Xia Huanming pointed to a photo of Chen Xing playing the piano and whispered in Chen Xing's ear, "This one looks like the Little Prince. It's really nice."
"Apart from this, is there anything else?" Chen Xing went to look at Xia Huanming's box.
"There is also a watch." Xia Huanming took out another box with a sticky note saying "bride price" on it. He was a little confused. "But what does this 'bride price' mean?"
Just as Chen Xing was about to explain, Xue Si Nian, who had just changed into a skirt, walked out from the back door, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
The organza fabric glowed like glass under the light, making Xue Si-nian look like a young lady who had just returned from a dance party.
Xue Si Nian has a standard apple-shaped figure, and this dress is cut to be extremely slim, showing off her waistline, making her look even thinner.
"Do I look fat?" Xue Si Nian saw that no one was talking and felt a little unconfident. "I haven't put on any makeup yet. Is it weird?"
"No, it looks good!" Zheng Peiya quickly grabbed the little sister's hand and praised her repeatedly, "Besides, you are not fat, be more confident! It's really good-looking and beautiful!"
"This is perfect for an award ceremony." Zhao Xingyu also said, "You look so elegant now, you can even be a host."
"Yes, that's what Cai Cai said on the sticky note she gave me." Xue Si Nian's eyes lit up and he showed them the sticky note in his hand.
Everyone came over and saw four lines of beautiful handwriting on the sticky note.
[to Niannian: Clothes should match people, not people match clothes, so love your body boldly. ps: I look forward to seeing you wearing this dress to receive the first place trophy at the finals. ]
"Xu Yuancai is really a brave and careful girl." Zheng Qi sighed.
"This style is really amazing. Yueyue also likes this feeling." Wang Baiyue looked at Xue Si Nian again. "It must be very expensive."
"I just scanned the tag with my phone," Zheng Peiya held up five fingers, "this is the number."
Everyone took a deep breath, clasped their fists towards the camera, and thanked Xu Yuancai: "Boss Cai is so generous."
After they finished speaking, they all laughed.
Zheng Qi looked at the time and said it was time to eat, and they then realized that it was already twelve o'clock.
Everyone cleaned up the remaining garbage together and prepared lunch. During this time, Xue Si Nian also changed back into home clothes and prepared food with them.
They were eating egg fried rice, and everyone added condiments to the rice according to their own taste. Chen Xing added a large spoonful of chili oil, and Xia Huanming next to him added a few green onions.
Everyone talked about the script and what happened in the crew, and lunch ended with laughter.
After dinner, Chen Xing returned to the bedroom holding the gifts he received, and Xia Huanming followed closely behind him like a shadow.
As soon as the door closed, Chen Xing was embraced by a warm embrace from behind. When he went to put the perfume away, Xia Huanming followed him; when he went to charge his phone, Xia Huanming followed him too.
Chen Xing completely understood Xia Huanming's feelings. They had finally been together, but they would be separated tomorrow. Every second now was precious.
But he was about to sit down, and it wasn't a good idea to keep him stuck like this.
Chen Xing stood in front of his bed and said helplessly, "Let's sit down."
Xia Huanming behind him made a pleasant sound: "Then sit on my lap."
Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "...Okay." It doesn't matter where you sit.
Xia Huanming was immediately happy. He pulled the man into his arms, sat down on the edge of the bed, and caressed the back of Chen Xing's neck with his lips. He wrapped his arms around his waist, and his palms naturally rested on Chen Xing's abdomen.
I really want to pack up the smell of Chen Xing and take him away, and let Chen Xing's soul go with him.
"Ah..." Xia Huanming put his forehead against Chen Xing's shoulder and asked softly, "Will you miss me when the time comes?"
"Of course I will." Chen Xing tilted his face and held up Xia Huanming's chin with his hand. "I'm not the kind of person who would dump someone after getting them."
He hesitated for a few seconds, then whispered to Xia Huanming that the band was considering him as their future daughter-in-law.
Xia Huanming was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled happily. The gloom of the long-distance relationship just now was swept away. He gently bit Chen Xing's cheek and said, "When will you come to marry me?"
"Isn't it too early to say whether to marry or not?" Chen Xing said casually, "We have only been dating for less than half a day, who knows what you will do in the future..."
Before Chen Xing finished speaking, Xia Huanming was obviously excited. He hugged Chen Xing tightly, as if afraid that he would run away: "What's wrong with me? Will we break up? Impossible, if I don't like you anymore, you will scold me to death; if I cheated on you, you will kill me."
Chen Xing also knew that his words were biased, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't say such things again. You can't say whether to kill or not... How could I do that?"
In order to appease him, Chen Xing even leaned forward and gave Xia Huanming a light kiss on the cheek: "Don't be angry anymore."
It was a magical kiss, and Xia Huanming's tense body visibly relaxed.
He stared at Chen Xing deeply, and finally rested his forehead on his shoulder, and whispered: "When we were filming Revelation, we went to Lisbon, Portugal. When I looked at the sea at Carcavelos Beach, I didn't think of the blue sea and blue sky, but just drowning."
After more than ten seconds of silence, Chen Xing finally managed to squeeze out a voice with difficulty: "How could you..."
He felt that the most painful thing was that Xia Huanming could swim.
What happened that would make a person who could swim choose to commit suicide by drowning?
Xia Huanming's voice became softer and softer, and Chen Xing listened silently.
"They came to me again, and even contacted my classmates and my mentor. They came to the company I had just signed with to make trouble, saying that I was unfilial and didn't support them and pay for their mortgage. In the end, the company came to help me and helped me with the lawsuit, but the progress of the crew was delayed for a long time. Although they said it was okay, I felt very sorry for them. I thought I could never see them again if I left... Why, they clearly didn't want me, but in the end they wanted me to find them."
After all, Chen Xing was not Xia Huanming, and he could not understand how painful he felt at that time, but he could imagine and understand it.
As a person who is extremely afraid of causing trouble to others, Xia Huanming is careful in everything and tries his best to do his best, but in the end he is caused trouble by his own family.
Even if no one blamed him, Xia Huanming couldn't get over this hurdle.
But what could Xia Huanming do then? The people who came were not strangers, but blood relatives with legal ties to him. He could not sever the relationship at all.
Chen Xing caressed the back of Xia Huanming's hand lovingly.
"In the early morning after the filming, I went to the beach. I really wanted to jump off." Xia Huanming continued, "But you know what? At that time, my news rang. You released a new song. You said you missed your family, so you wrote that song."
Chen Xing reacted instantly and asked cautiously, "Yes... am I in Qingshan Lake?"
"Yeah." Xia Huanming nodded. "I thought I would die after listening to this song...but that day, I listened to it hundreds of times."
He sat alone on the deserted beach, his cell phone's battery level dropping from 60 to 20.
He watched the sky change from dark blue to gray-green, the horizon began to seep into the glow of the sky, and the scorched red light tore through the clouds.
The song, wrapped in the salty wind, passed by his ears and brought him into the next day.
"It was also at this time that a French father and daughter saw me and asked if I needed help," Xia Huanming said. "They run a B&B and were very warm and friendly. They even invited me to visit their home."
It was only after these two people reminded him that he realized that he was in tears.
The little girl was very puzzled at the time, and told her father in English that this Oriental man was so strange that he could be moved just by looking at the sea.
"I talked to my assistant at the time, took half a day off, and went to visit the French father and daughter. The family told me a lot about the places they had been to, and we exchanged contact information and are still in touch. I also learned French from that family," said Xia Huanming.
The day before leaving, the little girl gave him a set of dream catchers she made herself, hoping that he would have a good dream.
"We really need to leave contact information. This is fate." Chen Xing nodded approvingly.
"Fate?" Xia Huanming said, "We are also destined to be together."
He can still recall the day he strolled through the streets of Lisbon before leaving.
The Portuguese-style mosaic gravel road shimmers like waves in the sun. The wind from the Tagus River, wrapped in a salty smell, penetrates into the streets. Passers-by of different skin colors hurry past him, and everyone is enjoying the scenery brought by the sunny day.
And what rang in his ears again was the song "Yi Fei" that the playlist automatically jumped to - another song by Chen Xing.
Now that I think about it, God had already told him that.
He and Chen Xing are inextricably linked; they are tangled tree roots with intertwined destinies.
Xia Huanming leaned slightly to the side and kissed Chen Xing's soft cheek again and again.
"So when you said you were Qing Feng, do you know how happy I was? I thought I could finally understand you, what a genius like you would be like, how could you write a song like that... Later I found that you were really too good, and I couldn't help but like you, so when you said you would let go, how could I let go?"
He practiced in his mind many times how to love Chen Xing and never once thought of breaking up.
He wanted to do everything in his dreams and delusions to Chen Xing.
If Chen Xing hadn't still been sane, his body would surely be covered with his red marks.
Especially here with moles.
Xia Huanming subconsciously closed his hands and gently rubbed his flat belly with his fingertips twice.
Chen Xing couldn't see his deep eyes, and just wanted to change the atmosphere. After all, he had said the wrong thing, forcing Xia Huanming to "prove his innocence" openly: "Okay, let's not talk about such unhappy things. Don't you like to see my college photos? I have a lot here, I'll send them all to you."
Xia Huanming's expression was indeed much better.
So the two of them looked at Chen Xing's old photos like this. Every time they looked at one, Xia Huanming would ask what time it was and what he was doing.
After looking at all the photos, Chen Xing's mouth was dry, but seeing Xia Huanming's happy expression, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"Where's your photo? I want to see what you looked like in college." Chen Xing said.
"There are a lot of photos of the drama, but not many photos of my daily life... My friend does have some, I'll look for them." Xia Huanming opened He Shu's circle of friends.
Chen Xing thought he looked familiar: "Is he the friend you chatted with last time?"
Xia Huanming: "Yes, he was the one who taught me to change my name."
Chen Xing: "...Don't learn it next time."
The latest content in He Shu’s circle of friends is a photo of a boy performing on stage.
The boy was tall, dark-skinned, and had a shaved head, which made his facial features look superior. He was holding a script in his hand.
Xia Huanming rested his chin on Chen Xing's shoulder, pointed at the face and said, "This is He Shu, now working at the National Theatre."
Chen Xing nodded seriously: "He's so handsome, he must be very popular."
Xia Huanming tilted his head, stared at Chen Xing's drooping eyelashes, and said faintly: "...He has a girlfriend."
Chen Xing looked at him in confusion: "I have a partner too?"
"Yes, you have a partner too." Xia Huanming rubbed Chen Xing's face contentedly and continued to scroll down.
When they turned to 2016, there were a lot more photos, mostly group photos of their roommates.
Chen Xing had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Xia Huanming in Yunyun’s photo. He couldn’t wait to swipe the photo himself.
Xia Huanming under the warm autumn sun, Xia Huanming in the winter snow scene, Xia Huanming in the spring cherry blossom rain.
In every photo, Xia Huanming looks like a vigorous green bamboo, stretching his body in front of the camera, his eyes as bright as torches, and his whole body exuding vigorous vitality.
Chen Xing particularly likes one of the photos of an outdoor picnic.
Xia Huanming wore a black short-sleeved shirt and a white waterproof jacket, with the sun dancing on the tips of his dark hair. He stood barefoot in the stream, holding up the shrimp he had just caught to the camera.
Although the shooting angle was lopsided, it perfectly captured his bright smile.
Chen Xing’s first reaction was: It turns out that he also had such a passionate and bright past.
No, he should have been this kind of person, not the one who hid in a dark corner all day asking himself why no one loved him, not the boy who wanted to commit suicide.
Chen Xing used this photo as the wallpaper of his chat window with Xia Huanming. Xia Huanming took a photo of Chen Xing on the spot, letting Chen Xing's chin rest on the palm of his hand, and took a photo that was almost like a close-up portrait.
After changing the wallpaper, the two shared it with each other and laughed for no apparent reason.
They didn't know what was so funny, but they were in a good mood.
After taking the photos, the two of them went out for a stroll in the afternoon. They first went to a milk tea shop to buy milk tea, and then strolled in a nearby park. There were old men and women exercising there. Some of them knew Xia Huanming, and one of the uncles insisted on competing with Xia Huanming in pull-ups. In the end, Xia Huanming won.
On the way back, Xia Huanming put his arm around Chen Xing's shoulders and said, "Originally I couldn't do the last one, but I thought that after all my boyfriend was there, I couldn't lose face, so I actually did it."
Chen Xingzhi was delighted to hear this and wanted to try it too, but he only made five.
The aunt next to him glanced at him and did ten in one breath.
Chen Xing: “…”
Xia Huanming comforted him all the way.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Chen Xing thought that given Xia Huanming's clingy nature, he would definitely take the initiative to ask to sleep with him.
As a result, Xia Huanming didn't say a word until the lights in the bedroom went out.
What's going on? It's not right.
Never mind whether it was right or not. Chen Xing couldn't stand it for a second, and immediately threw off the quilt and asked in the darkness: "Should we sleep together?"
Xia Huanming's hesitant response came from the darkness: "...Is it okay?"
"Of course," Chen Xing used the light from his cell phone to grope his way to Xia Huanming's bed and swiftly got into bed.
After the two of them lay down face to face, Chen Xing turned off his phone.
In the dark room, the only sound was the intertwining breathing.
Xia Huanming gently brushed away the strands of hair on Chen Xing's forehead and said, "We won't make an official announcement, but we have to tell them."
"I think so too," Chen Xing rubbed the pillow with his eyes narrowed, "Let's find a time to talk to everyone."
"Okay."
Chen Xing smelled Xia Huanming's breath and felt safe for no reason. He gradually became sleepy and yawned, "Good night."
Xia Huanming had no intention of sleeping and kept looking at him.
Chen Xing stretched out his hand to cover his eyes: "Don't keep your eyes open anymore, you need to sleep well and eat well, understand?"
"Yeah." Although Xia Huanming was not sleepy yet, his boyfriend had said so, so he closed his eyes obediently, "Good night."
The next second, he felt a soft touch on the tip of his nose.
Xia Huanming opened his eyes suddenly, just in time to catch the moment when Chen Xing shrank back after stealing a kiss.
He felt that his heart was like misty smoke, which was blown away by Chen Xing and then picked up again.
He looked into the other's eyes with a burning gaze and asked softly, "If I sleep well... can I kiss you next time?"
