Chapter 23
Hearing him say this, Ruan Yan showed a surprised expression: "Of course."
After chatting for a while, Ruan Yan waved towards the camera and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll hang up first. I'll call you before I go to bed."
Except for not being able to hold hands or hug, the frequency of this interaction is no less than when he is around.
The family went to her aunt's house early in the morning. Mingya was obviously surprised to see the four of them and greeted them, "Come on, come on, sit down, sit next to me."
Mingya also asked Xia Chen to take out the gifts for Ming Yunle and Ming Yunyuan.
It's like this every year. They tell their aunt that they are grown up and don't need to receive any gifts anymore, but her aunt doesn't listen at all.
Two gift boxes with not very beautiful packaging were handed to them.
They will not be unhappy because they think the packaging is not beautiful enough. On the contrary, they will be happier because it must be packed by their aunt.
"Brother, sister-in-law, how are your health this year? Have you had a physical examination?"
They hadn't seen each other recently, so when Mingya saw them, she immediately started talking about their health.
Ming Yunle, Ming Yunyuan and others went somewhere else to play on their own.
Xia You handed Ming Yunle and Ming Yunyuan a drink each and asked, "I heard you made the dumplings yourself?"
Ming Yunyuan paused with his hand holding the cup.
When he posted the photo, one of his ugly dumplings was not hidden properly and was discovered by Xia Chen, who then circled him out and laughed at him.
Ming Yunle couldn't help laughing out loud.
Ming Yunyuan said calmly, "Yes, we all made it together."
It was rare for the house to be so lively. Mingya tried to persuade them to stay, and they stayed until noon before leaving.
The streets are bustling during the New Year, with people everywhere having fun.
Ming Yunle took a photo of a tree with lanterns hanging on it while sitting in the car and sent it to Ruan Yan.
Ruan Yan also sent a very similar picture.
When they got home, they started chatting again.
Ruan Yan: The festive atmosphere is strong today. I took a walk outside.
Ruan Yan: Do you want to make a video call tonight?
[Ruan Yan: I want to see you in the new year]
Ming Yunle tried to suppress the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up, but failed and was discovered by Ming Yunyuan.
When he passed by here, he didn't know why he smelled the sour smell of love.
He took the book to the corner of the sofa and started reading.
After a long while, Ming Yunle finally put down his phone. He asked Ming Yunyuan, "When did you come?"
Ming Yunyuan really didn't want to pay attention to him. He had been here for more than ten minutes, so why did he just see him?
Ming Yunyuan: "I've been sitting here for more than ten minutes."
Ming Yunle was embarrassed. It was not his fault. His brother walked very lightly, like a cat, so it was normal that he didn't notice.
Ming Yunle was a little bored at this time and asked, "Are you free? I saw you were reading a book from the beginning. Do you want to change your activities?"
"What activity?" "Play some billiards with me. Sitting like this all day is getting rusty."
Ming Yunyuan also had this plan, so he simply agreed.
As they walked towards the billiard room, Ming Yunle didn't forget to say, "I definitely can't beat you, so remember to let me go when the time comes."
Ming Yunyuan: "Okay."
These few days passed by very quickly. Ming Yunyuan became busy again, and Ming Yunle also started painting.
The weather outside is very cold. Even though Ming Yunle likes taking walks very much, he has been going less frequently recently.
In his spare time, he would sit in front of the French window and look outside, wondering when spring would come.
He doesn't like winter because it's cold and all the leaves on the trees in the park have fallen off, making him want to stay indoors.
Ming Yunle has been a little bored recently, so he went to Xia Chen's villa again.
After the first few days, Xia Chen was gone and there was no one in the villa to play with him.
So Ming Yunle went back to his life, either painting in the studio or playing the piano.
Ming Yunle hadn't played the piano for a long time, and his hands were a little stiff. After playing a song, he planned to practice it again after some time.
I worked hard on playing the piano today, and I want to share my daily life with Ruan Yan.
Ming Yunle just took a photo of the piano. He thought that he seemed to have not video-called Ruan Yan in the past few days, and he didn’t know what he was doing. He decided to video-call him in the evening.
Just as I was thinking about Ruan Yan, Ruan Yan called me.
Ruan Yan's voice on the phone sounded like he was walking. He asked, "Do you want to come out?"
Ming Yunle didn't react: "Come out? But it's very cold outside."
Ruan Yan said: "I'm back."
Ming Yunle sat up straight at once, his expression becoming one of disbelief.
Ruan Yan is back? When did he come back? How come I didn't know anything about it? Why didn't he tell me in advance?
"You said you were at Xia Chen's place last night, right? I'm here too, and I came to see you. Do you want to pick me up?"
Ming Yunle quickly put on his coat and went out. He had just opened the door and taken a few steps when he saw Ruan Yan.
After seeing him, Ruan Yan ran a few steps quickly, ran to Ming Yunle's side, and pulled Ming Yunle back into the warm house.
After closing the door again, Ming Yunle didn't move. He saw Ruan Yan was speechless for a long time, and after a moment of confusion, he asked, "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Ruan Yan laughed: "Not welcome?"
"No, that's right, you didn't say it."
Ming Yunle hugged him after he finished speaking and said, "Tell me in advance next time."
Ruan Yan patted Ming Yunle on the back and said, "I came back last night, but it was too late, so I didn't tell you. Didn't I come to see you right away?"
After saying that, Ruan Yan pulled Ming Yunle to the screening room: "Come on, come on, didn't you say that the first thing you would do when I come back is to watch a movie with me? Let's go now."
Even when he sat on the sofa, Ming Yunle was still a little confused.
He was very excited to see Ruan Yangang coming back and wanting to accompany him to watch the movie he mentioned.
Ming Yunle held Ruan Yan's hand as he was looking for a movie and pulled him towards him. Ruan Yan thought he wanted to change the movie he wanted to watch and didn't think much about it.
But Ming Yunle gave him a very passionate kiss.
Ruan Yan hugged Ming Yunle tightly.
Ruan Yan took the initiative and his kiss went from shallow to deep, conquering the whole place.
After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Yan finally let go of Ming Yunle's lips.
He looked at Ming Yunle for a while, then hugged Ming Yunle tightly.
This hug was different from the simple reunion hug in the living room. It carried a tenderness that was only possible between lovers.
Ruan Yan hugged her a little tighter: "It's been a while since we went on a date, so let's go on a date these few days."
Ming Yunle nodded, and Ruan Yan kissed Ming Yunle's head gently again and said, "Are we going to the movies or on a date now?"
Ming Yunle said, "Because we agreed to watch a movie, let's watch a movie first."
"Um."
Although he said "hmm", Ruan Yan did not let go of Ming Yunle, and even did not reduce the strength of his hold on Ming Yunle.
It was unknown how long the hug lasted, and Ruan Yan kissed Ming Yunle's hair again.
As a common hobby for both of them, watching movies is an important part of their dates and they do it almost every time.
The movie they watched this time was really long, and Ming Yunle was already a little sleepy when they came out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he couldn't help yawning.
Although he wanted to go out on a date with Ruan Yan, the current situation was that he seemed to have no energy to go on a date.
"Are you sleepy?" "A little."
Ming Yunle stretched and said, "Even if I'm sleepy, now is not the time to sleep. If I sleep now, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Ruan Yan sat on the carpet next to him and watched Ming Yunle find an angle and lie on the sofa. Judging from his movements, it was obvious that he had done this countless times.
When Xia Chen came back, he saw Ming Yunle lying on the sofa in a daze, and Ruan Yan sitting on the carpet looking at his phone.
Xia Chen was obviously shocked when he saw Ruan Yan, who should have been in City M, appear in his home.
The sound of his entry drew the gazes of both people on the sofa towards him.
Xia Chen asked Ruan Yan: "When did you come back?"
"last night."
Gu Jing followed Xia Chen in and was also stunned when he saw this scene.
Seeing Gu Jing in a daze, Xia Chen realized that even Gu Jing didn't know that Ruan Yan had returned.
Xia Chen said: "I came back yesterday."
Gu Jing was still confused and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Ruan Yan: "Isn't this a surprise?"
Hearing this answer, both of them were a little speechless. Gu Jing: "At least let us pick you up."
"Actually, I didn't tell you because I arrived too late. I couldn't ask you to pick me up at the airport in the early morning."
When he planned to come back, he looked at the air tickets and found that the only flight from City M to City A with tickets left was the early morning flight.
It was almost dawn when he arrived here, and he couldn't ask everyone to welcome him back in the early morning.
Ruan Yan will have something to do later, and he needs to organize the things he brought back from City M.
Last night, after he got home, he took a shower and fell asleep. The next day, he came to find Ming Yunle as soon as he woke up, without even opening his suitcase.
He brought back a lot of things, and the types of things were very mixed, so it might take some time to sort them out.
Although you will have to move sooner or later and there is no need to take it out, it is not good to keep it piled in the suitcase all the time.
Before leaving, Ruan Yan stood up and hugged Ming Yunle.
"I'll come see you tomorrow morning. Are you still living here?"
"I've been here the past few days. Why don't you come over tomorrow morning? Can you finish cleaning up in one night?"
Ruan Yan thought about it and decided that might not be the case: "I can clean up slowly anyway."
In Ruan Yan's opinion, he currently wants to stay with Ming Yunle more, and the rest can be put aside.
There's no need to rush to pack your luggage.
And he cleans up every night, so he should be able to finish it quickly. It will probably take... a week?
Ruan Yan estimated and confirmed again that a week should be enough.
After hearing what Ruan Yan said, Ming Yunle felt relieved.
The day after Ruan Yan came back, they still did not go out, but stayed in one place and painted together.
"I found that your painting is actually quite good." Ming Yunle held up his chin and watched Ruan Yan painting.
Ruan Yan smiled and asked, "Do you really think so?"
