Extra three (03)
Gu Chen said: "I am preparing for a relationship. Tingqin and I should have time in college."
Ms. Chu: “?” No, could these two kids have planned even something like this?
Li Tingqin played with Gu Chen's hand, interlocked his fingers with his, admired the silver ring on his fair and slender fingers, and hummed softly.
Gu Chen said: "Okay, Mom, we will be back soon. Even if you are worried about me, are you still worried about Tingqin?"
Ms. Chu: “…” Tingqin was also someone she watched grow up, and he was very reliable since he was young. After Xiaochen said this…she actually felt strangely that it was better for Xiaochen to be with Tingqin than to be with some weird man outside?
After hanging up the phone, she looked helplessly at Liang Qing, who was still waiting to celebrate with the children, and said, "Xiao Chen said that he and Tingqin went to buy an engagement ring together."
Liang Qing was shocked and asked, "Wait! When did they get together? How did they get to the point of buying an engagement ring?"
Ms. Chu didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Her expression was complicated. She said, "Uh... actually they have never been together? But from a certain perspective... they have always been together?"
Liang Qing: “???” How come she knows what each word means, but doesn’t understand when they are put together?
"Wait a minute!" Liang Qing said anxiously, "Tingqin always invites Xiaochen to live with us, he won't do anything wrong, right?"
Ms. Chu shook her head and said, "That won't happen. These two kids have always been very sensible and have been discussing things with each other. Are they planning to have a relationship after the college entrance examination?"
Liang Qing looked at the salute in his hand, a little confused: "Then what should we do now..."
A boring soap opera was playing on a random channel on the TV in the living room. The male protagonist was unwilling to marry a girl who grew up with his old friend. He rebelled against his elders and wanted to cancel the engagement, causing chaos.
Liang Qing said: "To be honest, if I knew that both children liked boys, I would definitely hope that they could be together and support each other in the future, but..."
But... they haven't even arranged for Xiaochen and Tingqin to get married yet, and the two kids just skipped all the messy steps and got it done in one go? How weird.
But now that the two children were together, she seemed to have a strange sense of security? She felt as if this was how it should be.
They are not in a premature relationship and are not messing around. They have even made plans for the future. They have been supporting each other and making progress together. What else do they have to worry about?
When Gu Chen and Li Tingqin arrived home, they were greeted by salutes from their families. Ms. Chu and Liang Qing said, "Happy graduation, little Chen Tingqin! Happy engagement!"
Gu Chen: “…”
Li Tingqin reached out and took off the colorful paper roll on Gu Chen's head, and said, "Mom, Aunt Chu, you..." Did you accept it so quickly?
Liang Qing glanced at the rings on their fingers and said, "Tingqin, how can an engagement ring be so simple? Mom has a lot of collection-level gems..."
Ms. Chu said, "Xiao Chen, I think your engagement is a very important matter, so you should hold a grand ceremony..."
Gu Chen and Li Tingqin sighed at the same time: "No, it's too troublesome. We have already arranged it. Mom, you don't have to worry about it."
Ms. Chu/Liang Qing: "..." This is really a worry-free thing from childhood to adulthood. There is no need to take care of the children because the two of them always play together; there is no need to worry about studying because the two of them always help each other with homework; now they have even solved their marriage together...
"Um..." Ms. Chu was confused, "Mom, you think you two are too rational and don't seem like you are in love..."
Gu Chen signaled Li Tingqin to lower his head on the spot, and then the two kissed each other, and then went upstairs together with the transparent examination bag.
Ms. Chu/Liang Qing: “!!!” How can they be so natural and so well matched!!!
After going upstairs, closing the door and putting their things away, the two of them kissed each other again. It was completely different from the light touch downstairs just now. This time they hugged each other tightly, wishing they could rub each other into their bodies.
They didn't separate until their breathing became rapid. While rubbing their ears, Gu Chen said, "Well, I've wanted to try it for a long time..."
Li Tingqin said, "Yeah." Although they were as familiar with each other as his left hand and right hand, when he really kissed those familiar lips, he still didn't want to separate.
Perhaps they were meant to be trees entwined and growing together.
After filling out their college entrance examination applications, Gu Chen and Li Tingqin were admitted to Q University as they wished.
But seeing Gu Chen living at home every day and only occasionally meeting up with Li Tingqin to study, Ms. Chu was still confused: "Aren't you two in a relationship? Why don't you go out on a date?"
Not to mention dating, even when they were at home and the door was closed, the two of them looked like nothing had happened.
Gu Chen said, "Mom, this is what happened. Tingqin and I decided to buy a house near the school, but our savings are not enough, and Tingqin went to work at Li's."
Ms. Chu: "...Ah? Don't you have property nearby?" A two-bedroom house near Q University costs tens of millions...
Gu Chen said: "Since we have decided to be together, it is normal for us to buy a house together."
Ms. Chu: "..." This is indeed a very normal thing, but is it normal for two 18-year-old children who are in love? Is it normal? !
When the school was about to start, they took out a house with their names on it. There were no new real estate projects near Q University, so it was a second-hand house, but not many people lived in it. After a slight renovation and some soft furnishings, they moved in and went to the supermarket together to buy daily necessities.
Li Tingqin put couple slippers, couple cups, couple toothbrushes... all into the shopping cart, and picked out some of Gu Chen's favorite food.
Gu Chen said, "Take fewer apples. We can come over after school. There's no need to stock up."
He also selected a few fruits that Li Tingqin liked, and was able to choose what the other party needed without any words.
Walking to the byt shelf, Gu Chen asked, "Which size?"
Li Tingqin said: "I haven't tried it yet."
Gu Chen took a box of both L and XL sizes, turned his head and whispered to Li Tingqin: "Then let's try it tonight."
Although they had often slept together in the past, even in each other's arms, the feeling tonight was different from any other time.
The corners of Gu Chen's eyes were slightly moist, and he said: "Tingqin, actually I don't like men, I just simply want to do this kind of thing with you..." Because they trust each other, they can do whatever the other party wants.
In his opinion, only when the two parties understand each other to this extent can they devote their body and soul to each other and do such things.
Li Tingqin said: "Yes, me too." It really had nothing to do with sexual orientation, he just simply wanted to be with Ah Chen, no matter how.
School hasn't started yet these two days, and there's nothing important to do. I've just moved into a new house and there's no parent looking after me.
Not only did they finish the big box, they even managed to use up the small box. Even their three meals were delivered by Li Tingqin's private restaurant.
Gu Chen lay in Li Tingqin's arms and sighed: "Are we too depraved?"
Li Tingqin said: "Fortunately, it's just these two days. We can readjust our schedule when school starts."
Because they were not in the same major, they rarely had the same class unless it was an elective course they had specially chosen.
But both of them had such outstanding looks that they soon attracted the attention of classmates from both sides, who even jokingly called them the new department idols.
However, Gu Chen's classmates discovered that Gu Chen had always been a loner, did not live in the school dormitory, and did not make appointments with classmates for meals or self-study.
Li Tingqin's classmates also discovered this problem.
In their daily interactions in class, the two of them are not loners, right? Why do they disappear after class?
Until a classmate saw Li Tingqin buying two clay pot soups at the window: "One corn ribs, one mushroom stewed chicken."
The classmates were surprised. Why would Li Tingqin, who always stayed alone, buy two soups? They immediately asked, "Li Tingqin, who are you going to eat with?"
Li Tingqin answered directly without any concealment in his tone: "Yes, my boyfriend."
On the other side, Gu Chen's classmates also saw him buy a black pepper beef tenderloin and a large plate of chicken, and asked: "Hey, Gu Chen, who do you eat with every day?"
Gu Chen also smiled very frankly and said, "My boyfriend."
Then they saw Li Tingqin and Gu Chen each holding a tray, sitting together, and then exchanging dishes very naturally.
The students on both sides exclaimed in astonishment. The two "department handsome boys" got together right after the start of the school year? But the closeness and familiarity between them didn't seem like they were just attracted to each other at the beginning of the school year, right?
Finally, someone noticed the rings on their hands. They are not only in love, but they are also engaged, right? !
The two of them did not hide their relationship at all, and they ate together, reserved seats, studied together, and ran at night...
Although the campus forum of Q University would not discuss such things as why two handsome guys are together, some people still saw them together in pairs in various occasions.
Moreover, unlike those couples who just kiss and hug each other, they have never done any greasy intimate actions. On the surface, they look extremely calm and rational, and there is a natural intimacy between them, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
After attending classes separately for a few weeks, the two of them directly divided the required public courses such as Marxism-Leninism, Ideological and Political Theory, Military Theory, and Situation and Policy. They took notes separately and then gave them to each other for reference, saving a lot of time.
The classmate looked at Gu Chen's neatly written notes and said, "No way, you're going to roll over a class like Ma Yuan?"
Gu Chen said: "After all, Ma Yuan is also an important school of philosophy, and it is worth two credits."
But when it came to the Ideological and Political Theory class, the students were surprised to find that Gu Chen, the top student in the subject, only made some marks on the book again: "Aren't you taking notes again?"
Gu Chen said: "Wait for my boyfriend to finish it for me."
When it came to the physical education class, the physical education teacher started by asking students to run laps to warm up. After all, the boys in Q University have to run 3KM in the physical fitness test, and Gu Chen also took basketball as an elective, which required even higher physical fitness.
After running five laps, most of the boys were exhausted, but Gu Chen was still energetic, as if nothing had happened.
The classmate who had chosen the same physical education class as him looked at him with an expression of incomprehension and panted, "No, this is not the result of running every night with your boyfriend, right?"
Gu Chen said: "Well, we have been training together since we were young."
Classmate: "...Then you two are really not an ordinary couple." Help, how can someone be so self-disciplined when in a relationship?
At the end of the semester, when the exam results came out, both of them ranked first in the GPA of their respective majors.
Not to mention that these two people have high GPA in their professional courses, how come they also have full GPA in public courses? And do they have to get first place in physical education?
This really attracted the attention of the students:
[Who knows who is the first in the first year of Economics and Management and the first in Physics this year...]
[They study together until so late every day and then go for a night run. Are they really a couple? ]
[Stop talking... Studying together - getting first place in professional courses; taking notes for each other - getting full marks in general courses; running at night together - getting first place in physical education? This is toxic, isn't it? Is this how you talk about relationships now? ]
[I strongly suspect that they are together just to be study partners... To some extent, they succeeded. The value of being the first in the Physics Department...]
[Dating is just a means, the ultimate goal is just to meet at the top, right? ]
[I'm going to find a study partner now... No, is it too late to have this kind of relationship? ]
The winter vacation made the time much more relaxed. Having just finished work early in the morning, Gu Chen leaned on the bed and browsed the forum, saying, "Some people say that we are study partners."
Li Tingqin turned his head and kissed him, saying, "I didn't say anything wrong."
Gu Chen put down his phone, turned over and lay on the bed, and began to flip through the stack of printed papers.
Li Tingqin placed his laptop on his knees and started to work. He was going to do an internship at Li's during the winter vacation.
Gu Chen sketched and said, "Learn for a while, then do it again to relax."
At this time, their high school classmates finally spoke up on the forum: [Um... I was a high school classmate of these two. I heard that their families are old friends. They grew up together and have been in the same class since kindergarten. They took turns to be the top student in junior high and high school. They got engaged right after graduating from high school.]
【??? What is this? New era arranged marriage?】
The classmate explained: [That’s not the case. Judging from their personalities, it’s hard to say that they didn’t decide to get married on their own. To be honest, their relationship is really weird. They’re probably just in a new kind of relationship, hahahaha]
I feel like writing this kind of daily life with mutual understanding but no villains and no twists and turns is so boring hahahaha, but I personally like this mode very much. Are there any similar articles that you can recommend?
