Yao Xiuyuan was so frightened that he almost fell out of bed.
Ying Nian snorted coldly and sat up, "You are sexually harassing me so early in the morning."
Yao Xiuyuan said confidently, "How can it be considered sexual harassment if I kiss my boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Nian surprisingly did not refute him.
Yao Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then realized what was happening and said in surprise, "Niannian, you didn't refute me just now."
Ying Nian did not take up the topic, but just said, "Hurry up and get up, it's time to make dumplings."
There was no need to refute Yao Xiuyuan, Ying Nian thought, since the moment Yao Xiuyuan appeared in front of him before New Year's Eve, Yao Xiuyuan had already successfully pursued him.
No one has ever been here, no one has ever lived in this room with him. Yao Xiuyuan is the only one.
The two of them made dumplings together, and after dinner, Yingnian took Yao Xiuyuan around the village and introduced the local specialties. Yao Xiuyuan was very curious about the village where he grew up, and kept tempting him to talk about the past. Yingnian was a little embarrassed at first, but later she let go and walked with him.
In the evening, the two of them cooked the leftover dumplings and chatted and ate together, which was quite pleasant.
They stayed in the village until the seventh day of the New Year. On the sixth day, the two of them went to the market together. Yingnian bought some local specialties and his favorite chili sauce. Yao Xiuyuan looked at the hustle and bustle at the market and felt quite curious.
On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Ying Nian got up very early. He and Yao Xiuyuan planned to drive back home after lunch. Ying Nian planned to visit his parents before leaving. Before leaving, Yao Xiuyuan asked him, "Are you going out?"
Yingnian nodded.
"What are you going to do?" Yao Xiuyuan asked curiously.
Ying Nian was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time, but still did not hide it from him, "Go see my parents."
"Your parents?" Yao Xiuyuan asked in surprise, "Your parents are not..."
He quickly responded, "Is that so? Then I'll go with you."
Ying Nian had already thought of this situation, so he was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Okay, but you don't need to bring anything."
It was the first time for Yao Xiuyuan to go to such a cemetery with others. There was no cemetery garden, no one guarding the grave, only a simple tomb and an erected tombstone.
Yingnian stood in front of the tomb, placed a few wild flowers blooming in winter next to the tombstone, and said silently in his heart: I am leaving, but don't worry, this year will also be a good year.
He finished speaking quietly in his heart, stared at the tombstone for a long time, and then said silently in his heart again: The person next to me is called Yao Xiuyuan, he is a very good person and may be my future lover. If I have the chance, I will bring him to see you again.
He has never been a person who likes to speak out his thoughts. Most of the time, he just keeps his thoughts to himself, even when facing his deceased parents.
He smiled at the tombstone and said to Yao Xiuyuan, "Let's go. I'm done saying goodbye to them."
"So fast." Yao Xiuyuan was surprised, "You have nothing."
“I just didn’t come out.”
"Oh." Yao Xiuyuan nodded, "Then it's my turn."
After Yao Xiuyuan finished speaking, he knelt down. Ying Nian was startled and asked him while helping him up, "What are you doing?"
Yao Xiuyuan said calmly, "Let go first."
Ying Nian had no choice but to let go.
Yao Xiuyuan kowtowed towards the tombstone and said in a clear voice, "Uncle and aunt, I am Yao Xiuyuan. I am kneeling here and kowtow to you today because I like Nian Nian. From now on, I will take good care of him."
After he finished, he stood up coolly and patted his pants.
Ying Nian didn't expect him to do this, but he also felt it was reasonable, so he just bowed to his parents' tombstone and prepared to leave.
When Yao Xiuyuan saw him bow, he quickly followed suit.
Ying Nian glanced at him sideways, and Yao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Does it look like the second bow to your parents?"
Ying Nian didn't know what to say for a moment, so he lowered his head and didn't look at him. He stood up and said to him, "Let's go."
