Qin Chuan didn't sleep much that night.
My mind was hazy and I kept thinking about what Li Heng had said to me.
He wants to marry him?
How does a man become a wife?
Qin Chuan touched his belly and complained. He couldn't get pregnant, so why would he marry her?
Besides, are they of legal marriageable age? Li Heng must have made it up.
But.
When my fingertips touched the soft corner of my lips, the picture in my mind was cut into pieces.
He clearly remembered Li Heng gently wiping his tears, and his heart pounding when he bent down to kiss him.
Can two men kiss each other?
No, why did Li Heng kiss him? Was he trying to avoid reality?
Qin Chuan suddenly thought of a question. Li Heng stayed by his side to repay his kindness, so was he kissing him and wanting to be close to him also out of gratitude?
Do you want to marry him home as your wife because you want to repay him?
If that's the case, why would he be sad?
That was what Li Heng owed him, so he should be the one who was excited, not him.
He was the victim. Not only was he kissed for no apparent reason, but he was also promised something. This was not what he wanted.
No, he has to go find Li Heng and explain things clearly.
Early in the morning, before daybreak, Qin Chuan knocked on the door. "Li Heng, Li Heng, come out."
The door suddenly opened and he was pulled in before he could react.
Xu Jing put his arm around his waist and led him to bed. "Sleep for a while, you're sleepy."
"No, you have to explain it to me clearly. You..." Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, his mind went blank for a moment and he didn't know what to say.
"Let go." His hands were still clasping his waist. Qin Chuan was furious and annoyed, and said angrily: "Li Heng, you..."
"Shh." Xu Jing released his hand and placed his finger against his lips. "Don't yell. If you have something to say, just tell me."
"You, was what you said yesterday true?"
"What?"
"You know." Qin Chuan was angry and anxious, sweat began to form on his forehead. "You confessed to me yesterday, right?"
"Yes." Xu Jing raised his eyes to look at him. The stubborn little donkey looked so adorable when he was serious.
"You, what are you thinking?" Qin Chuan was stared at by him, and his face unconsciously turned red and his body became very hot.
"I just like you and want to be with you."
"Isn't it because of repaying a favor?"
"Is there anyone who would come to you to repay a favor?" Xu Jing's lips curled slightly, making Qin Chuan's mouth dry. "You, you are so beautiful."
All love at first sight is just based on lust. Without a beautiful appearance, how can one be considered as a prerequisite for falling in love?
"Sleep a little longer." Xu Jing hugged him and held him in his arms.
Before the house was built, Qin Chuan had slept in the same bed with him. They had always slept alone, but never so close, so close that he could feel the scorching heat beneath the thin fabric, and the beating of the chest.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xu Jing patted him on the back to calm him down. "I'm leaving today, and I'm a little reluctant to leave you."
Yes. Li Heng was good at pouring cold water on people. Just a moment ago, he was so excited that he wanted to throw off the covers and run away, but now there were only endless sighs and a look of melancholy.
"Li Heng, I'm stupid. I'm not worthy of you."
Qin Chuan always knew that he was stupid. He was sharp-minded and could see the contemptuous looks from people around him.
The gossip and criticism from the people around him made him feel the world's ill will towards him. He used to not care about other people's cold eyes, but with Li Heng's intervention, he began to care.
"No one will like me."
Li Heng is a good person and he deserves someone better than to stay in the poor and destitute mountainous area.
"You're great. Kind, hardworking, pure-hearted, and as bright as the sun. Why should you compare yourself to others?"
Under his gentle gaze, Qin Chuan's eyes turned red. "It's not as good as you say. Without you, I'm just a farmer growing sweet potatoes."
"Aren't you also a farmer now? What's the essential difference?"
"That's different."
"What's the difference? You have something others don't, and I'm not as good as you think. Why do you feel inferior just because I like you?" Xu Jing said with a smile. "Liking someone is just a matter between two people. There's no question of being worthy or unworthy. As long as you like me and I like you, that's enough."
"What if you don't like me anymore?"
Qin Chuan had seen couples quarreling after breaking up, some even throwing things and hitting others. If he were to experience that day, he would rather not like it.
"Do you reject my touch?"
Qin Chuan shook his head. On the contrary, he liked Li Heng touching him.
"You like apples. If you have money, would you buy them?"
"meeting."
"If that's the case, it's not difficult to accept that you like me. Why reject me without even trying?" Xu Jing pinched his nose and smiled, "All fear comes from low self-esteem. All you have to do is follow your heart and try to accept me. No one can guarantee what will happen in the future, so we can only cherish the happiness we have now."
Even if happiness is as short-lived as fireworks, he should learn to cherish it.
"I understand." Qin Chuan buried his head in his arms and hugged him back. "I like you too, Li Heng."
Parting is like the falling leaves in autumn. No matter how gorgeous and beautiful they were before, they will still return to their roots, leaving behind regrets.
Qin Chuan watched Li Heng get on the tractor and disappear into the fields.
"Let's go, go back." Qin Zicheng patted his shoulder and said softly: "He will be back. We have to finish the work before he comes back. We can't starve just because he doesn't come back."
That’s right.
Qin Chuan sniffed and hid his tears in his heart.
He still had to continue farming, and Li Heng's tuition was quite expensive, so he saved up the money for Li Heng's tuition with his own hands.
The road to the county town is not far, and it will take only an hour or so to get there.
Xu Jing's second sister, Li Yurong, ran around for him. After arranging his accommodation, Li Yurong said, "Little brother, I'm leaving first. If you have anything to say, tell me. I've found a job as a dormitory auntie at school. The salary isn't high, but it's quite leisurely."
"Second sister, wait, don't leave yet. Are you interested in management?"
Li Yurong asked: "How is it managed?"
Xu Jing could tell that his second sister, Li Yurong, had a knack for management. The family's survival depended entirely on his sister's ability to manage the overall situation. Xu Jing figured assigning her to manage the staff would improve the melon farm's efficiency.
"Qin Chuan and I have been growing Xiaoguang melons in the countryside. Now that I'm gone, it's hard for Qin Chuan to control the situation alone. So I need you to come out and help me suppress these monsters."
Xu Jing's melon farm currently has ten helpers. Excluding the boss Qin Chuan, his eldest sister, his third sister, and her husband, there are still six people left. This does not include the three families who received technical fees.
Before Xu Jing was around, the base could still operate normally. Without someone to manage it, it would be a mess, and the brand we worked so hard to build would be ruined.
