Chapter 93 Chapter 93 (End of the text)
"OK! That's all for today, we're done."
At the director's command, the muted set suddenly became active. The camera and lighting crews packed up their equipment, and the props crew organized their props.
After the filming, Xiao Qinghe took the phone from his assistant. In just a few hours, his WeChat was already filled with messages. A producer he knew asked him about next year's schedule, and an actress he had worked with before sent him a selfie with a rather revealing tone. Xiao Qinghe also saw that He Xianyu, who had been silent on his friend list for a long time, had sent him a photo of a persimmon tree in the snow.
The ripe persimmons on the branches look particularly red against the snow, just like a group of shy girls hiding their rosy faces in their white coats. The sky blurs into a gentle background color, making the whole picture look cleaner and brighter.
fish: [Brother, do I take good pictures? ]
fish: [Brother, who is prettier, Persimmon or my sister-in-law? ]
When returning to the hotel, Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but call He Xianyu.
Soon, the receiver rang with the cheerful voice of a young man: "Brother, you finally remembered that you still have a younger brother like me. You can't forget your younger brother just because you have a sister-in-law. Is your sister-in-law in Hengdian now?"
Xiao Qinghe gave a somewhat bitter smile: "Not here."
He Xianyu complained, "Brother, you are so mean. You have been hiding it from me. When will you introduce my sister-in-law to me?"
“… We’ve split.”
He Xianyu was very surprised and asked, "Why did you break up?"
“…The other parent disagrees.”
"Oh my god, you don't agree to this even though you're such an excellent son-in-law. That's too much." He Xianyu comforted him, "Brother, don't be sad. The next one will be better."
Xiao Qinghe tightly grasped the phone, with pain, reluctance and confusion in his eyes, "There will be no next one. He is the only one I love in my life."
He Xianyu sighed: "What should I do? Brother, how about I help you talk to the other party's parents? I'm quite good at speaking."
After a moment of silence, He Xianyu continued, "Brother, I miss you so much."
Xiao Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to reply, "I miss you, too, very much," but he had promised Xiao Jun that he would not lead He Xianyu astray.
"Brother, please don't ignore me, okay?" The boy's voice was a little muffled and hoarse, and sounded very aggrieved.
Xiao Qinghe's chest ached. He suddenly had a strong urge to go back and hug the boy, comfort him, kiss him, and bully him. But Xiao Jun was right. He was seven years older than He Xianyu. He had to take full responsibility in this relationship and couldn't rashly lead the inexperienced He Xianyu to a point of no return. He Xianyu was still young and couldn't tell the difference between family affection and love, but he could tell the difference, so he shouldn't seduce He Xianyu with ulterior motives.
Xiao Qinghe gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty: "Xianyu, I will always be your brother."
"Oh, okay, brother, it seems your wife is really going to die." He Xianyu hung up the phone directly.
After that, He Xianyu would share some interesting things with him every day.
fish: [Ms. Song’s masterpiece.jpg]
fish: [Ms. Song suddenly had the idea to learn painting. This is a cat she drew. She insisted that it was a tiger.]
fish: [Ms. Song's love for painting disappeared after attending a painting training class for a week. She is now fascinated by cooking.]
fish: [Today, Ms. Song was cutting vegetables in the kitchen and accidentally cut her finger. Dad was reading a newspaper in the living room at the time. When he heard the shout, he immediately threw down the newspaper and rushed into the kitchen. It was the first time I saw such a panicked expression on Chairman Xiao's face. Brother, this is the love I yearn for. It doesn't need to be so grand and passionate. We can depend on each other for a lifetime in the daily necessities of life.]
fish: [Dang, dang, look what this is? Driving license! (Applause here) Today is the first day for the new driver Xiao He to go on the road. Ms. Song is worried and keeps reminding me to be careful in the passenger seat. I took her to the company to pick up her husband from work. Brother, when will you come back? I miss you.]
fish: [Look, what did I take a picture of? A squirrel! It snowed again today. I dare say that the snow scene at our university is the most beautiful in China. No objection accepted.]
fish: [I took the College English Test Band 6 today. Jingchen asked me if I could pass it? I guaranteed it! I went to the Lover's Hill and took a selfie at the place where we took a photo together before. I'll send it to you before you go to bed. Did you miss me? ]
fish: [Today I went to watch the defense meeting for the undergraduate special scholarship, it was really a battle of gods. These big guys are so amazing, they published several SCI papers as first authors during their undergraduate period. I want to learn from them and strive to attend the defense meeting in the future. ]
fish: [Today I went out to do social practice with the seniors from the Student Union. Although it was a bit tiring, I gained a lot. In the future, I will also measure the land of the motherland with my footsteps and take a good "big ideological and political course" on foot. ]
fish: [Today, my counselor told me that I will be representing our school to give a speech in English at the United Nations next month. I am so nervous and afraid of messing up. Brother, do you have any experience in English speeches that you can share?]
fish: [Today, I picked up hard-pen calligraphy on a whim and wrote you a letter. I put it on your bookshelf and you can read it when you come back.]
fish: [We have a new family member! Chi's golden tabby gave birth to a kitten, and he gave me one. I am no longer a savage without a cat! Nian Gao likes little brother Ajin very much, and he licked his fur soon. ]
fish: [Christmas is coming soon, and my dad bought a super big Christmas tree. This afternoon, the three of us decorated the Christmas tree, and we felt a great sense of accomplishment.]
fish: [I’m going crazy! Can this class of college students stop being so competitive? I went to the library and there was not even a seat!]
At eight o'clock in the evening, He Xianyu, who failed to grab a seat, returned home and received a message from Xiao Qinghe.
xqh: [It’s the final month, I understand. When I was in college, I started studying for many public courses only when the exams were approaching. The library always witnessed the miracles of Chinese college students during that time.]
xqh: [Today is another big night scene, very tiring, but this part of the plot is particularly exciting and very enjoyable to act out. ]
The temperature in Hengdian was extremely low in the middle of the night. He Xianyu sent a message to Xiao Qinghe's assistant, asking him to prepare a blanket, ginger tea, and a hot pack to take good care of Xiao Qinghe.
Song Xue finished her fitness class and walked in from the door covered in snow.
"Winter in Beijing is really unbearable!" Song Xue was born in Kunming, a place where the four seasons are like spring. To her, the winter in Beijing is like withered grass and trees, and everything is bleak. It is not as warm and sunny as the winter in Kunming, but rather cold and windy.
Song Xue asked curiously: "Xiao Yu'er, where are you from?"
"Beijing."
"Beijing? You are the top scorer in liberal arts in Beijing last year!" Song Xue frowned, looking confused. "When I was in the hospital, I heard that the dean's grandson was also in the hospital, and he was the top scorer in liberal arts in the city. Is that person you?"
He Xianyu nodded. He and Song Xue were quite predestined to be together. They were both hospitalized in the same hospital when they were sick.
"But, his operation was miraculously successful, and the patient woke up." Song Xue couldn't have remembered it wrong, because her agent used this operation with a very low success rate to encourage her not to give up hope for life.
He Xianyu was stunned. He had already come to this world, so who was the person in his original body?
That’s right!
It’s the original owner.
That's great! Although his parents lost him, they got a son. And the original owner will get the family affection, love and tolerance he has always longed for in the world he once lived in.
He Xianyu's hands were shaking as he edited a message on his phone.
——Brother, I have good news. I really want to tell you in person. I really want to see you!
Just before sending it out, He Xianyu thought about it and decided to delete it word by word.
Then let's wait until the next time we meet and tell him the good news.
On Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, in the morning, before He Xianyu went to school, Xiao Jun called him to the study and gave him a brown paper bag, saying it was a Christmas present for him.
He Xianyu opened it and found a share donation agreement. Xiao Jun wanted to give some of his shares to He Xianyu.
"Dad, I don't want shares. Can I ask you for something else?" He Xianyu put down the agreement worth hundreds of millions and begged.
Xiao Jun looked at He Xianyu with loving eyes and said with a smile: "Whatever Dad has, I'll give it to you."
"Dad, I want to ask you for someone. I want my brother." He Xianyu rushed to say before Xiao Jun could speak, "I am not confused about family affection and love. During this period of time, I have thought very clearly that I like him, not the kind of love that a younger brother has for an older brother, but the kind of love that wants to be together for a lifetime. Dad, I hope you can help us."
Xiao Jun stared at He Xianyu for a long time. On that young face was resoluteness, courage, and determination to move forward. "Xiao Yu'er, do you know? Just now, your mother came to me and told me about this. She hoped that I would not be a bad person who broke up a couple."
He Xianyu was horrified: "Mom knows that I like you?"
"Don't underestimate her because she's carefree. She's actually more considerate than anyone else." Xiao Jun was in a dilemma because his palms and backs were all flesh. "I'm afraid Qinghe is the one who led you astray."
"How can the road to happiness be a crooked one?" He Xianyu walked over, leaned over, and hugged Xiao Jun, "Dad, Qinghe will be your daughter-in-law from now on, okay?"
Xiao Jun: “…………”
Are you serious?
In the afternoon, it snowed. Countless snowflakes fell one after another. Slowly, the campus road was covered with a vast and sparse white.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, He Xianyu walked out of the classroom and saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Master!"
It was unknown how long Gu Zeye had been waiting outside the classroom. His hair and coat were covered in snow. He Xianyu strode over, brushed off the snow on him, and asked, "Master, why didn't you tell me you were back?"
"I want to give you a surprise." Gu Zeye put his arm around He Xianyu's shoulders. "I'm hungry. Please treat me to a meal."
"Wait for me." He Xianyu pushed a bicycle out of the carport and motioned Gu Zeye to sit on the back seat.
Young Master Gu had never ridden in such a simple means of transportation in his life. The corners of his lips twitched, "You want me to sit here?"
"Master, don't underestimate this small bicycle. It has made a contribution to environmental protection." He Xianyu urged, "Hurry up, Jiang Bai and Jing Chen are already waiting at the entrance of the cafeteria."
Hearing this, Gu Zeye frowned, "How come these two ghosts are still haunting us even after we went to college?"
"There is a Christmas masquerade party at school today, and they are coming over to play. Young master, get in the car." He Xianyu drove Gu Zeye across the campus to the cafeteria.
The weather was very cold. The warm breath was immediately blown away by the cold wind and turned into a light white mist.
Gu Zeye stretched out his hand and placed it on He Xianyu's head to block the falling snowflakes for him.
The time they spend together always passes by in a hurry. Even though it is so short, it is the happiest time for Gu Zeye recently.
It was a rare reunion in dormitory 301. He Xianyu was in a good mood and ordered several dishes.
Jiang Bai went to get some rice. Uh, he only brought back two bowls of rice.
One bowl was his, and the other bowl was He Xianyu's.
He sat down, with no intention of getting up again.
Gu Zeye crossed his arms, looked at Jiang Bai coldly, and said with a sigh: "Jiang Bai, I said a long time ago that I don't like you."
Jiang Bai replied expressionlessly: "I said it a long time ago, I don't need your love."
301The peacemaker was still waiting for the food at the aunt's place. Jing Chen was afraid that Gu Jiang and the other man would quarrel, so he quickly got up and went to get two bowls of rice.
Spicy hotpot, steamed pork with rice flour, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, cheese and fruit pizza, shrimp steamed buns, crab roe dumplings... the table was filled with food.
He Xianyu poured a glass of Coke for each of his three best roommates and said emotionally, "Time flies, years——"
"Stop!" Gu Zeye couldn't stand He Xianyu's official tone, "Speak human language."
He Xianyu cleared his throat and said, "Today, 301 reunited at the university. I am very happy. You will always be my good friends. I will use Coke instead of wine to toast you."
The three of them could barely maintain a fake roommate relationship in front of He Xianyu, chatting about their recent lives.
Not long after, He Xianyu received a call and went out for a while. Soon, he came back and brought someone back with him.
Gu Zeye narrowed his eyes in displeasure. Damn, it turns out that Chen Zhuo is still haunting him! He finally went back to China for the Christmas holiday. Was it easy for him? In the end, he only had a little time to spend alone with He Xianyu.
"Brother Chen, come and have dinner with us." He Xianyu enthusiastically went to get a bowl of rice, and then went to the window to order a few more dishes.
When he returned with the dishes, he found that the atmosphere between the four people was very subtle. He Xianyu racked his brains to think of topics to liven up the atmosphere.
After several unsuccessful attempts, He Xianyu gave up.
Forget it, whatever happens.
Many students came to this year's Christmas masquerade, which was very lively. As a famous science and engineering university, the ratio of male and female students is quite different. There are too many single people in the school who are eager to find a partner at this dance.
Gu Zeye nudged He Xianyu with his elbow and teased, "Why don't you go find a girl to dance with? Is your idol burden already so heavy?"
He Xianyu smiled and replied, "My brother will be angry."
"Why are you so afraid of him?" Shen Zhuo asked.
"I'm not afraid of him, I just can't bear to leave him." Filming was tiring enough, and He Xianyu didn't want Xiao Qinghe to be distracted by his affairs.
All four of them were stunned.
They said they were going to a masquerade ball, but no one went to dance. He Xianyu felt a little bored and was about to take them out to play, when suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the door.
He Xianyu's eyes suddenly widened. Although the man was wearing an ugly mask that only revealed his eyes, He Xianyu recognized who he was at once.
The man looked around the venue and then walked straight towards He Xianyu.
He Xianyu couldn't believe it. Shouldn't he be in Hengdian, thousands of miles away? How could he be here?
The man stood in front of He Xianyu, his eyes full of smiles: "Hello, classmate, can you dance with me?"
The corners of He Xianyu's lips slowly rose, "No, my brother will be angry."
"Your brother is so stingy. The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Can you go to appreciate the moon with me?" The man grabbed his wrist and without saying anything, took him away from the venue in a hurry.
The four of them watched them go away, their eyes filled with disappointment and reluctance.
…
The moment the apartment door closed, Xiao Qinghe took off his mask, looked at He Xianyu steadily, said nothing, just smiled.
He Xianyu had many doubts in his mind, such as why he suddenly returned to Beijing, whether Xiao Jun said something to him, and why he knew he was here, but now these questions are not important.
"Qinghe."
This was the first time that He Xianyu called Xiao Qinghe by his name, not "Teacher Xiao" or "Brother", but the ordinary yet intimate "Qinghe".
Xiao Qinghe said "hmm".
He Xianyu looked him straight in the eyes and asked, "Do you like me?"
Question sentence structure, affirmative tone.
"Actually, I like you, too." After saying that, he touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and suddenly laughed out loud, "I feel like I'm living in a novel called "Rebirth: I'm My Brother's Male Sister-in-law."
Xiao Qinghe held his face and kissed his lips, "Fake orthopedics, does it feel good?"
He Xianyu hugged his waist, smiling like a flower: "It feels good!"
Outside the window, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the whole world was pure white.
At this moment, He Xianyu thought that he truly fell in love with this world.
In this world, he will be a fish flying freely in the sky, and live happily with his friends, relatives, and his boyfriend.
"Xianyu, you once told Chen Zhuo, 'I am the person my brother cares about the most.'" Xiao Qinghe said softly, "Remove the two 'people he cares about'."
He Xianyu blurted out: "I am the person my brother cares about the most."
"Yeah." Xiao Qinghe kissed her again.
