There was a rustling sound of the quilt being lifted behind her. Qing Tongyin turned around and saw that Mo Xingnian had already gotten out of bed. She asked worriedly, "Where are you going?"
Mo Xingnian didn't say anything and walked out of the room.
Qing Tongyin was a little worried, so she got out of bed and followed him. Mo Xingnian turned around, and Qing Tongyin reacted quickly. She put her hand on his chest, then quickly put it down, looking at him as if she had done something wrong. "Where are you going?"
"Go back to bed! Stay still, or I'll never let you get out of bed again!" Mo Xingnian's pupils were deep and his face was ferocious as he threatened him.
Qing Tongyin turned around and climbed onto the bed with a wronged look, touching her eyes. Her eyes were swollen and dry!
After lying on the bed, he kept staring at the door. Soon, Mo Xingnian came back with ice cubes, a towel and hot milk in his hand, and put them all on the table.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, glanced at him, and stuffed the hot milk into his hand, saying, "Drink it!" Qing Tongyin took it, but didn't drink it. Instead, she stared at Mo Xingnian.
Qing Tongyin picked up the ice cubes again, placed them on her eyes, and said calmly, "Apply them to your eyes, otherwise you won't be able to open them tomorrow!"
Qing Tongyin stared at him in a daze, her heart deeply moved, so much so that she wanted to cry, "If...if you and my parents knew we were gay and didn't agree with us being together, would you run away?"
Mo Xingnian didn't say anything, but slapped Qing Tongyin's forehead hard with his hand.
"Ah! What are you doing!" Qing Tongyin looked at him angrily, then touched her forehead.
"I'm afraid you'll run away! I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on halfway! I'm afraid you'll avoid me because of gossip!"
“…”
Hearing this, it was as if a bright crack opened up in Qing Tongyin's heart, and the warm sunlight came in.
But at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable. Mo Xingnian was so afraid that he would leave him and lose him. It would be great if his heart could be as strong as his!
"Let me tell you a secret!" Mo Xingnian looked at him quietly with a sly smile. "Those two old guys in my family... are very happy to have you as our daughter-in-law!"
What!
Qing Tongyin was so scared that she jumped up from the bed and looked at Mo Xingnian with frightened eyes.
Are you kidding me?
Mo Xingnian nodded and looked at him affirmatively, telling Qing Tongyin, of course he was not joking!
At this moment, Mo Xingnian suddenly seemed to remember that he had blacklisted their phone numbers. No wonder the best 90 was afraid. ~! Why is it so quiet lately!
Those two people must be very anxious!
Forget it, let’s just ignore them for now!
Qing Tongyin didn't understand. She sat up straight and looked at him with a heavy expression. "Godmother, how did they know about what happened between us?" Qing Tongyin knew the answer as soon as she asked. It must have been Mo Xingnian who said it. What was there to doubt about? She shook her head and thought about it. How could they agree to it!
No, that’s not the question. Even if they agreed, he knew his parents very well, and they would definitely not agree!
Because Su Mian had said before that Qingshi was bisexual, so she would never let her son be with a man!
Qing Tongyin's face showed an awkward expression, and Mo Xingnian's heart skipped a beat. "Don't worry, just stick to your own heart, and I'll take care of your parents!"
I heard that when two people are together for a long time, their personalities and habits will become similar, and for some things, they can understand what the other person is thinking with just a glance!
The connection between him and Mo Xingnian is probably because they grew up together!
In fact, he is a coward!

Mian Xin's funeral was relatively simple. After all, Mian Xin didn't know anyone in City A, only this group of partners in the studio.
What was surprising at the funeral was Zhichen. He didn't say a word, nor did he lose control of his emotions like he did in the hospital that day. He was calm and silent, which was not like him.
Sure enough, the work had to continue the day after the funeral, but two people were missing, one was Mian Xin, and the other... was Zhi Chen!
A month later, Qing Tongyin received an email from City D. At first, he thought it was a scam because in his impression, City D was not a place with few trivial matters. When he opened the email and saw the sender, Qing Tongyin was stunned.
It was a letter that came this morning.
He said in the email that he understood a lot because of Mianxin's case. People cannot keep standing still. They should look for better skies and bluer lakes. They should not wait until everything is over to regret why they didn't do it earlier. ... He was surprised to find Mianxin's biological parents in D City. It turned out that they did not abandon Mianxin. Mianxin was abducted by human traffickers when she was very young. Due to the underdeveloped economy and D City, she has not been found until now.
Seeing the two elderly people who were seriously ill and had difficulty walking, Zhichen decided to stay there and take care of them.
At the end of the email, Zhichen said not to worry about him, he just figured out a lot of things, and he would come back after doing everything he wanted to do. By then, as long as Qing Tongyin didn't dislike him, it would be fine!
After turning off the computer, Qing Tongyin looked out the window. The tall willow tree had begun to sprout. Spring was coming, and a new season was about to begin!
In fact, Zhichen had wanted to do that a long time ago, to say what he dared not say, to do what he dared not do, to take care of Mianxin's parents who had not given up looking for their daughter for more than 20 years.
I should be happy for him too!

Qing Tongyin was cooking in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. "Come in! The door is not locked!"
The wind chimes at the door were ringing. Mo Xingnian had hung them for him last time so that he would know when someone came in.
But after a long time, apart from the ringing of the wind chimes, there was no sound. Qing Tongyin washed her hands and turned to look at the living room, then looked at the door, but there was no one!
I started to feel confused. Something was wrong! Someone had just come here!
Did I hear it wrong?
Qing Tongyin frowned and shook her head, but she really felt someone coming. When she turned her head, she suddenly bumped into a solid chest. Qing Tongyin raised her head suddenly and looked at the person in front of her vigilantly.
Fog?!
His editor?
Miwu pointed at Qing Tongyin's head and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qing Tongyin was stunned for a moment, then touched her head and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay! But... do you walk without making any sound? I didn't even hear your footsteps..."
The following words were spoken in a very low voice, but Miwu seemed to have heard it and coughed lightly a few times. "When I walk, my center of gravity is on my body, so the force of my footsteps is very light, so you..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Qing Tongyin burst out laughing. Mi Wu looked at him in confusion. Was his words too funny?
Seeing his confused look, Qing Tongyin put away her smile and said, "No, I was just saying it casually. You don't have to take it so seriously!"
