The sun sets over the mountain, leaving behind colorful sunset clouds. They gather above the horizon, sounding the last sound of nature before nightfall. Flowers, birds, fish and insects sing and dance, heralding that tomorrow will be another beautiful sunny day.

Qin Nianqing carried the cardboard box and walked from the classroom to the school gate in the light of the setting sun. There were very few people at that time, and he looked particularly eye-catching as he walked out with the cardboard box, not to mention that he was very handsome.

Qin Nianqing didn't care about the gazes of the crowd. After he walked out of the school gate, he began to look around, hoping to find Mu Qingji in the crowd, but he looked around and didn't see Mu Qingji's car or person.

Qin Nianqing was just about to take out his cell phone to call Mu Qingji when his own cell phone rang first. He put his things down, took out his cell phone, saw the call alert from Mu Qingji, and immediately answered the call.

"Brother, where are you?"

As soon as Qin Nianqing finished speaking, she heard Mu Qingji's voice saying, "Guoguo, look up."

Qin Nianqing looked up reflexively, and when she saw the long-legged man in a black suit leaning against the car door on the side of the road, she was stunned for a moment, then she curled her lips and waved at him, then hung up the phone, bent down, picked up the cardboard box and walked towards him.

Mu Qingji put his phone away and walked over to take the cardboard box he was holding and the schoolbag he was carrying. Qin Nianqing smiled at him. Mu Qingji held the things in one hand and gently rubbed his head with the other hand. Then he turned around and put the cardboard box in the trunk, carried his bag on one shoulder and walked to the passenger door to open it.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Mu Qingji asked Qin Nianqing to sit in the passenger seat, closed the car door and got into the driver's seat. He tilted his head to glance at his unfastened seat belt, asked this question and then turned his head to fasten his seat belt.

Qin Nianqing's movements to speak came to an abrupt halt because of Mu Qingji's sudden approach. He stared blankly at the handsome face that was very close to him, and inadvertently met Mu Qingji's deep eyes. The tips of his ears turned red unconsciously, and his fingers unconsciously fiddled with the beads on his wrist. His eyes were evasive, and he was obviously uncomfortable.

Mu Qingji paused for a moment while pulling the seat belt, then calmly finished buckling it. He then reached out and gently pinched Qin Nianqing's cheek, and said softly, "Come back to your senses. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Qin Nianqing stretched out his hand to pull away Mu Qingji's hand, coughed to recover, then looked at Mu Qingji and said, "Brother, I want to eat grilled fish, it's the new one that opened near your house. I went there with Zhang Ruochen, Qi Xiangyang and others before, and the taste was very good. You must try it."

"Okay, let's go check it out."

Mu Qingji gently rubbed Qin Nianqing's head again, then withdrew his hand, started the engine and drove away. Qin Nianqing's favorite music played in the car, and his previously restless mood gradually calmed down under the soothing of the music.

After calming down, his thoughts became much clearer, but he still didn't quite understand whether wanting someone to belong only to him was possessiveness or habit.

But it doesn’t matter. There is still a lot of time. Qin Nianqing has plenty of time to figure it out. Probably in the near future, he will understand it.

"Guoguo, why is it so quiet today? Huh?"

Perhaps it was because the car was too quiet, Mu Qingji asked the question out loud, with a hint of bewitching in the rising ending of his tone.

Qin Nian listened to Mu Qingji's words and felt his ears itchy. He turned his head to look at him, smiled and said, "No, I just suddenly don't want to talk today."

There was a red light at the intersection ahead. Mu Qingji stopped the car, turned his head to look at Qin Nianqing, and seeing that his collar was a little messy, he reached out to him, intending to straighten his collar, but he ended up seeing this cute kid unconsciously raised his neck and deliberately turned his furry head towards the direction of his hand.

Mu Qingji paused slightly, and his slender hand unconsciously shifted direction and placed on Qin Nianqing's head, rubbing it gently. Seeing his satisfied expression, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and then went to straighten his collar.

"Would you like to go to the park after eating the grilled fish?"

The red light turned green, and Mu Qingji drove out. When driving on the windy and rainy road, he asked Qin Nianqing another question. Qin Nianqing looked at Mu Qingji, and his eyes suddenly became very bright. "Let's go to the Rose Park? I heard from Aunt Lin that the roses there are in full bloom. There are a lot of them. I want to take pictures. Brother, will you go with me?"

"good."

Mu Qingji usually would not refuse Qin Nianqing's request, and it was the same now, except in special circumstances, for example, if Qin Nianqing wanted to leave him.

Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing ate grilled fish together, and then went to the Rose Park. The scene in the Rose Park was just as Zhao Linlin had described, with roses in full bloom. Under the starry night sky and the dim street lights in the garden, it was all so beautiful that one could not help but linger.

The arched gate at the entrance of the Rose Park is lined with gorgeous red roses, which are stained with dew from their falling flowers. They are extremely beautiful under the dim light.

Qin Nianqing was taking pictures in the rose garden with a camera. Mu Qingji followed behind him. His eyes were always on Qin Nianqing, just like every time when they were children. His eyes never left him, as they did in the past and now.

"Brother, look at me."

After Qin Nianqing finished taking pictures of the roses, she turned around and suddenly found Mu Qingji standing among the blooming roses. He was wearing a black suit and had a cold face, like a god walking out of the dark night, sacred and inviolable.

Qin Nianqing couldn't help but called him suddenly. Mu Qingji looked at him as he wished, and the picture of him standing in the sea of ​​roses was frozen in time.

Qin Nianqing looked at the perfect Mu Qingji in the camera, the corner of his lips curled up, he walked to Mu Qingji and showed him the camera, "Brother, look, do you look handsome in the photo I took?"

Mu Qingji glanced at the picture in the camera, nodded, and unconsciously pulled Qin Nianqing into his arms. He bent down slightly and whispered in his ear, "Let's take a picture together."

"Brother, don't talk in my ear, it's itchy." Qin Nianqing felt a little itchy from the hot air that Mu Qingji accidentally exhaled. He touched his ear, looked back at him with a smile, and then raised the camera, "Okay, brother, come and take a look at the lens."

As Qin Nianqing was speaking, he pressed the shutter button. At this moment, Mu Qingji suddenly called his name. He turned around reflexively and their eyes met. Then, under a rose arch, their gazes towards each other were frozen in a photo and retained in Qin Nianqing's camera.

"It's time to go back, Guoguo."

Mu Qingji gently rubbed Qin Nianqing's head, then chuckled, held his hand, clasped their fingers together, and turned to walk out of the rose garden.

Qin Nianqing just stood there in a daze, letting Mu Qingji hold his hand. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. The heart in his chest began to beat restlessly when he saw their clasped hands.

My brother’s palms are so warm, just like when we were little.

Qin Nianqing thought about this, and suddenly a lot of warm currents surged in his heart. He didn't realize at all what it meant for him to walk hand in hand with an adult man in the park like this.
