☆、 Extra: Neighbors (HE)

When the first ray of sunlight shone in in the morning, Shen Xuanmo always stared at the handsome boy in his arms out of habit.

He had a dream last night, in which he met a chubby little ball. Now, when he looked at the delicate face of his baby, it unexpectedly overlapped with the little guy in his memory.

After Qingqing woke up, she gently nudged Shen Xuanmo and said angrily, "You look at me like this every day, and you don't get tired of it."

Every time Qingqing woke up and saw Shen Xuanmo's look like this, she would blush and her heart would beat fast. He pretended to be a little angry, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Don't look at it, or I'll be angry!" Qingqing said angrily, and was about to cover his eyes.

Shen Xuanmo hugged him tighter and whispered into his neck, "Why would you get tired of it? I'm just afraid there isn't enough time."

"You, you are getting more and more demanding..." Qingqing has now learned a lot of words to say to Shen Xuanmo. His little face turned redder and his heart beat faster.

Shen Xuanmo's breath brushed gently across his skin, making him feel numb.

"Let go, I want to get up!" Qingqing felt that she could no longer stay with him, otherwise his heart would always be restless and disobedient.

Shen Xuanmo, however, hugged Qingqing tightly in his arms and said with a smile, "I don't care. I will spend my whole life to see enough."

Qingqing's face turned even redder. She struggled in his arms for a few times, muttering, "You only know how to say sweet words."

Qingqing tilted her head and asked curiously, "Why are you so clingy?" Shen Xuanmo nodded lovingly, "I'm not clingy, I'm just clingy to Qingqing." Qingqing felt warm in her heart and took the initiative to kiss Shen Xuanmo on the cheek.

"Okay, I still have to feed Ah Hua."

Shen Xuanmo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and smiled indulgently, then raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to gently scratch Qingqing's nose.

"You hurt me." Qingqing frowned slightly and acted as if she was in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Xuanmo looked at his big hand in confusion. He thought to himself, he didn't have much strength.

Shen Xuanmo looked at Qingqing's red nose, blew it gently, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I will be gentler next time."

"It doesn't hurt much anymore, just a little bit." Qingqing said softly, with a hint of playful pride in his eyes.

"Then I'll blow on it again, and it won't hurt at all in a while." Shen Xuanmo knew that Qingqing did it on purpose, but he just liked to go along with him.

Qingqing was enjoying Shen Xuanmo's caress and concern, and suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Ahua must be very hungry." Shen Xuanmo helplessly let go of her hand and let Qingqing jump off the bed.

"Baby, why do you care about it? Why don't you care more about me?" Shen Xuanmo said half-jokingly, trying to cover up his slight jealousy.

Shen Xuanmo felt a little disappointed. Could it be that in Qingqing's eyes, he was not as good as a cat?

If I had known I should not have kept it, Shen Xuanmo sighed, but his eyes were full of love.

Qingqing turned around and saw Shen Xuanmo's serious expression. She couldn't help laughing out loud: "Are you jealous of Ah Hua?"

At this time, Ah Hua was staring at their door. The sun was shining on their butts, but their two masters were still being affectionate with each other.

"Ahua?" Qingqing came to the hall, and the little cat immediately ran over and rubbed against his legs and acted coquettishly.

"I'm sorry, Ahua..." Qingqing smiled and picked up Ahua, preparing to feed it. Shen Xuanmo followed behind, watching the scene quietly, his eyes full of happiness.

After feeding Ah Hua, Qing Qing took Shen Xuanmo's hand and said, "New Year's Day is coming soon. Let's go to my brother's house to play today!" Shen Xuanmo readily agreed.

The two walked hand in hand, and in a few steps they arrived at Nan Lin's house.

"Let go." Qingqing was a little shy and didn't want Nanlin and Qiuze to see them like this.

"No, I can't leave my baby for even a second..." Shen Xuanmo tightened his grip on Qingqing's hand mischievously, with a smug smile on his face.

Qingqing shook her head helplessly, but with a sweet smile on her face: "If you act like this, my brothers will definitely laugh at me."

"No, baby, don't worry." In the end, I was so angry that I wanted to die. For no reason, I had to live next door to them.

"I just want the whole world to know that you are mine." Shen Xuanmo said nonchalantly, then gently put down the gift and knocked on Nan Lin's door.

The door opened quickly, and Nan Lin and Qiu Ze stood at the door. When they saw Qing Qing and Shen Xuanmo holding hands, Nan Lin's face immediately turned dark.

Qiu Ze pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, what happened? Why is our dear's face so red?"

Qingqing became even more shy and tried to pull her hand away, but Shen Xuanmo held it even more firmly.

Qiu Ze laughed out loud, walked over and patted Shen Xuanmo on the shoulder: "Brother Shen, are you showing off?" He said it as if it was nothing.

As Qiu Ze spoke, he took Nan Lin's hand. He leaned close to Nan Lin and whispered a few words in his ear, which made Nan Lin's face turn from black to red and he smiled awkwardly.

"You're here, so why do you bring so many things? Come in..." Qiu Ze warmly invited everyone into the house.

Qingqing pinched Shen Xuanmo gently, signaling him not to be too presumptuous in front of them.

Shen Xuanmo smiled knowingly, but still did not let go of Qingqing's hand. He just didn't hold it so tightly anymore, giving Qingqing some space.

Shen Xuanmo was very generous. He looked around the living room and praised, "The layout of my brother-in-law's house is really warm and cozy. He really knows how to choose the location."

Nan Lin waved his hands with a fake smile and said calmly, "No, no, we are the same." The two of them were polite on the surface, but secretly they were always inexplicably competing with each other.

"Brother Qiu Ze, is it really okay to leave them two here?" Qing Qing and Qiu Ze were washing fruits, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Qingqing. They are just like that. They always like to argue over insignificant things."

Qiu Ze sighed in his heart. He was no longer surprised by such childish behavior between Shen Xuanmo and Nan Lin.

Every time they get together, there are always a few rounds of secret competition, as if it has become a special form of communication between them.

The two returned to the living room with the fruit plate, and saw that although Shen Xuanmo and Nan Lin were still talking, the atmosphere had eased a lot. Their topic also shifted to the upcoming holiday plans, and they were obviously looking for common ground.

"I prefer to go alone with Qingqing and spend a romantic holiday." Shen Xuanmo looked at Qingqing tenderly, his words revealing his thoughts.

Nan Lin raised her eyebrows and responded unwillingly: "You wish. On such an important festival, Qingqing should stay with me so that our family can be reunited." Do whatever you want.

Seeing Qingqing and Qiuze coming back, Shen Xuanmo immediately stopped talking and said, "Actually, I am in favor of going with the four of us, but since my brother-in-law doesn't want to, forget it."

"Brother, don't you want us to go out and play together?" Qingqing lowered her eyes, feeling a little disappointed.

"Shen Xuanmo! You..." Nan Lin was a little annoyed. This feeling seemed familiar. She was about to continue speaking but was interrupted by Qiu Ze in time.

Qiu Ze interrupted at the right time, trying to mediate: "Okay, okay, both of you stop arguing. How about this, we can go out together for the first few days, and then we can arrange the rest of the time on our own?"

Shen Xuanmo and Nan Lin looked at each other, and finally nodded, agreeing to this compromise.

As night fell, the gathering ended in warmth and laughter. After saying goodbye to each other, Shen Xuanmo and Qingqing returned hand in hand to the house next door.

On the way home, Qingqing hummed a little tune and was obviously in a good mood. He looked up at the starry sky and said with emotion: "It's great that you are all by my side."

Shen Xuanmo nodded without hesitation. As long as he was with Qingqing, everything would be wonderful.
