Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing stayed in the theater for a long time. When they came out, it was very late. Qin Nianqing leaned in Mu Qingji's arms with her face flushed as she slept.
Qin Nianqing was wrapped in Mu Qingji's suit jacket, and there seemed to be no extra cloth on his exposed hands. What happened between them in the theater was probably only known to the parties involved.
The next morning, Qin Nianqing woke up in Mu Qingji's arms. He blinked a few times and leaned into Mu Qingji's arms with a dazed look, like a hungry kitten who woke up and wanted to cry for milk. He was so cute.
"Guoguo, I have to go to work today, so I need to get up."
Mu Qingji had woken up a long time ago and had even changed his shirt. He lay down beside Qin Nianqing just to see his sleeping face, waiting for him to wake up. However, he didn't expect that the kid would just snuggle into his arms as usual after waking up, and after a while, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Mu Qingji was very helpless. He originally wanted to let Qin Nianqing sleep a little longer, but there was not much time to waste before work, so he could only reluctantly wake up the cute little guy.
"Brother, please stop making noise. I'll sleep for another five minutes."
Qin Nianqing rubbed Mu Qingji's chest coquettishly, said this in a daze, and then went to sleep with peace of mind.
Mu Qingji rubbed his head with some amusement. He clearly didn't do anything yesterday. He just relieved the stress, but this little guy couldn't bear it. If it really came to that, he would still be a little worried.
Mu Qingji sighed softly, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, bent down and picked Qin Nianqing up from the bed, then turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Qin Nianqing felt himself moving in his sleep, so he slowly opened his eyes. He saw Mu Qingji's angular chin and was dazzled by his beauty. Then he woke up completely, put his arms around his neck, changed positions in an instant, and hung on him like an octopus.
"Good morning, brother."
"Good morning, brother."
Qin Nianqing lay on Mu Qingji's shoulder and yawned lazily, then said good morning to him in his ear. Mu Qingji hummed softly and also said good morning to him. Then he carried him into the bathroom, let him stand on the soft blanket, squeezed toothpaste for him, and filled it with warm water.
Qin Nianqing took the toothpaste and the cup, turned around and kissed Mu Qingji on the lips, then went to brush his teeth with a smile. Mu Qingji rubbed his head and turned around to find clothes and shoes for him.
Qin Nianqing turned her head to glance at his busy back, then turned her head to look at herself in the mirror whose skin was covered with marks, and her ears secretly blushed. She really liked her brother very much.
It was a beautiful morning. Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing had breakfast together, and then they set out for work, neither hurried nor slow, just the right amount of time.
Mu Qingji sent Qin Nianqing to the door of Qin Younian's company. After saying goodbye to him, he watched him enter the company safely. Then he started the engine and went to work at his own company not far from here.
Qin Nianqing was learning knowledge and accumulating experience in Qin Younian's company. He was very busy and fulfilled every day, and time passed much faster.
Qin Nianqing's birthday soon arrived. Old Master Qin, Old Madam Qin and others attached great importance to it. After confirming that Qin Younian wanted to reveal Qin Nianqing's true identity, Old Master Qin did not say a word and directly asked him to change the venue of the banquet from Qin Younian's home to the Qin family's old house.
In this case, Qin Nianqing needs to go to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors at nine o'clock in the evening. First, to tell the ancestors that the Qin family has another strong man who has grown up healthy and safe. Second, to keep the Qin family's ancestral teachings in mind, and there is no need to say more about being upright and righteous.
Secondly, Qin Nianqing needs to burn incense to his mother Yu Hongqing. This coming-of-age ceremony is very solemn. When all these things are finished, it will probably be after twelve o'clock, and he will be considered a real adult.
On the eve of his birthday, Qin Nianqing was summoned back by Old Man Qin. He wanted to understand the procedures in advance so as not to commit any taboos and offend his ancestors when offering sacrifices to their ancestors.
So these days, Qin Nianqing was even busier, so busy that he didn't even have time to reply to Mu Qingji's message, but he had no choice.
On his birthday, he had to wear the Qin family's special clothing and, led by his elders, walk into the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. There were many things and details that he needed to remember, so he had to give up some things temporarily.
Qin Nianqing can only wait until the coming-of-age ceremony is over and then slowly compensate Mu Qingji. However, he doesn't know how he will compensate her when the time comes. It all depends on Mu Qingji's thoughts.
Soon, the day of Qin Nianqing's coming-of-age ceremony arrived. Early in the morning, the servants and bodyguards in the house became busy, some moving things, some decorating the venue, and some picking vegetables.
Everyone has their own things to do, and Qin Nianqing is no exception. He has to follow his brothers and sisters to the gate to receive guests, and also to collect red envelopes.
Qin Nianqing received so many red envelopes today that his hands were sorely tired that he felt his face was almost frozen from smiling. If he hadn't been the birthday boy today and a member of the Qin family, he would have run away long ago. Such a coming-of-age ceremony was really tiring.
"Brother Nian Qing, happy birthday!"
Lin Yuexin, Zhang Ruchen and three others came here with their parents. When the friends saw Qin Nianqing at the door, they immediately ran over to greet him and handed over the gifts and red envelopes they had prepared with a smile.
"Thank you Angel, I will treasure this gift."
Qin Nian leaned towards Lin Yuexin and nodded with a smile, with sincere gratitude in her eyes. Lin Yuexin waved at him, then looked at Gu Qiyao and Zheng Zhiyue, and smiled softly, "Doudou, Yueyue, hurry up and give the gifts to Brother Nianqing. We agreed to watch the handsome boy together."
"Brother Nianqing, happy birthday."
Gu Qiyao gave the gifts and red envelopes she had prepared to Qin Nianqing, who took them with a smile. Zheng Zhiyue followed closely behind. He thanked them one by one. After the three girls said auspicious words, they ran away hand in hand. They were probably going to wait for the young masters who were coming to the banquet.
"Boss, good luck on your coming-of-age ceremony."
Qi Xiangyang glanced at his brother whose eyes were almost glued to Song Lianqing, rolled his eyes speechlessly, then walked to Qin Nianqing and gave him the basketball and red envelope he had prepared.
"Good boy, let's play ball together some other day."
Qin Nianqing patted Qi Xiangyang on the shoulder and put the gift beside him with a smile. Qi Xiangyang raised his eyebrows and whispered in his ear, "Boss, are you sure you can play basketball now? Brother Ji is so jealous, I dare not stay with you for long, otherwise I will be skinned alive."
"Go to hell, what are you talking about? My brother is not that kind of person. Go play somewhere else, you little brat."
Qin Nian listened to Qi Xiangyang's teasing, the tips of her ears turned red, and she immediately pushed him away with a smile. Qi Xiangyang looked at him and smiled as well. Soon Zhang Ruchen came over and wished Qin Nian a happy birthday, and then he went in with Qi Xiangyang.
"Baby, Daddy gave you this gift and red envelope. I hope you will be happy and healthy every day in the future," Song Lianqing came to Qin Nianqing and rubbed his head gently with tears in his eyes. "I never thought that you would grow up so big in the blink of an eye."
"Dad, thank you for your gift. I will be happy and healthy every day."
Qin Nianqing stretched out his arms and hugged Song Lianqing, and Song Lianqing also hugged him and gently patted his back. After Qin Nianqing hugged him, he stood up straight, looked at him and smiled, "Dad, today is my birthday, you can't cry."
"Well, Dad doesn't cry."
Song Lianqing listened to Qin Nianqing's words, sniffed slightly, smiled and rubbed his head, then looked at Qin Younian and shook hands with him. Qin Younian patted his shoulder and looked at Qi Xiangyu, "You guys go in quickly, sit down and rest for a while, eat something or something."
"Don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves. It's Master Qin who has to take good care of Little Candy," Qi Xiangyu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Younian. After saying this with a faint smile, he rubbed Qin Nianqing's head and gave him the gift and red envelope, "Happy coming of age ceremony, Little Candy."
"Thank you, Uncle Qi."
Qin Nian leaned towards Qi Xiangyu and gave him a brilliant smile, then watched them enter the house. After that, he and Qin Younian received other guests together. After a while of busy work, most of the guests finally arrived.
