Amused by Qi Yan's words, Jing Ranxiu shook his head helplessly and finally sighed softly.
"You always avoid the problems between us." Jing Ranxiu's voice was a little sad.
Qi Yan was stunned, and then remained silent.
Yes, he was avoiding it on purpose. He didn't know if Jing Ranxiu would understand that feeling. His father was sick, and he might live these days as his only days. So he married a wife, just because the other party was virtuous and kind, and more for himself, when he was away, he could still feel the warmth of home...
But Qi Yan, actually got together with his legal brother, and developed a different kind of feelings. This matter, put together, is a silent fact-if the trouble gets out of hand, this family will be broken up. Qi
Yan doesn't want to break up this family. Old Qi is enjoying such a life, and so is Qi Yan.
"Maybe we should look at this problem from a different angle." Jing Ranxiu said indifferently, "We can be together for the rest of our lives."
"...Don't talk about it, I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore." Qi Yan's voice was extremely dull, "I feel sorry for my dad and Aunt Jing."
When it comes to the elderly, Jing Ranxiu rarely said anything, even though Qi Yan's previous words almost made him step on the brakes.
After silence, there is still silence.
In a relationship, regardless of whether it is blessed by others or not, your own wishes are the most important.
While I hope for happiness, my conscience is clamoring that in this world, there are not only you, but also relatives and friends who love you and care about you.
——This matter can be considered abandoned.
Day after day, life was the same. Qi Yan went to school every day, and "acted mischievously" with Lao Tu, and then fought with Zeng Xin. In the evening, Jing Ranxiu came to pick him up, and he went home to eat. He spent the time after dinner happily with his family and went to sleep.
Thinking of this, the boring life seemed to be back.
Jing Ranxiu acted like a big brother, sending him off early and picking him up late. From an outsider's point of view, although this family was a reconstituted family, it was unusually warm.
This kind of life ended that night, when Lao Qi told Qi Yan that he was going to separate from Jing's mother.
"Your Aunt Jing and I were originally just a contract, and we have never lived together." Lao Qi's voice was filled with helplessness and fatigue: "I hope that after I die, you can have a home. I can't trust other people, but I absolutely trust your Aunt Jing."
"Just as I expected, you accepted your Aunt Jing, right?"
Qi Yan was at a loss, he looked at Lao Qi puzzledly: "Dad, why suddenly..."
"Because I discovered another thing." Lao Qi smiled lightly: "That thing is enough to make us give up this warmest lie."
"But, Dad!" Qi Yan suddenly wanted to cry, he tried to persuade her: "We can consider this matter again, and Aunt Jing..."
"I have already talked to your aunt Jing, and Xiao Xiu also knows." Lao Qi said, "I will go to the United States for treatment in a few days. They will still live here. To the outside world, they will still be husband and wife. To the inside, you can treat your aunt Jing as your aunt."
"...What is this..." Qi Yan wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.
"I'm going to the United States." Lao Qi smiled and said, "Come and hug me, son."
These words made Qi Yan burst into tears instantly.
In this world, without a mother, the father is everything. Maybe Qi Yan once blamed Lao Qi for not taking care of himself, not fulfilling his father's responsibilities, and even felt that he was not worthy of being a father... However, he is his father, his eternal father.
Three days later, Lao Qi went to the United States. Before he left, he said to Qi Yan, pursue your heart well.
After crying, Qi Yan stared at the tissue that Jing Ranxiu brought him with red eyes, holding it in his hand in vain.
"Don't think about it." Jing Ranxiu sat next to him: "Nothing has changed."
"Can I still see my dad?"
"Of course, this is his home, he will definitely come back."
"What about you and Aunt Jing?"
"...This is also our home."
"...What about you and me?"
...
Jing Ranxiu did not answer, and Qi Yan did not ask again.
Half a year has passed in a flash, winter is coming, when the first snow falls on this city, Qi Yan is admitted to the best university in the province.
Old Qi, who had his head shaved for treatment, sent his blessings to Qi Yan in the video, and the sentence "You are my most proud son" made Qi Yan silently leave the camera and wipe his tears in the dark.
It takes only half a year for a person to reach a peak. But it takes a long time for a person to take a step forward.
"What reward do you want, Xiaoyan?" Mother Jing looked at him with a smile, and the years left traces on her beautiful face.
Qi Yan smiled. Although he was mature and noisy, he was not rude: "I don't need anything!"
"Hey, tell me what you want and let Aunt Jing buy it for you!"
"Then... Aunt Jing, I want to eat the delicious food you cook."
...
Inexplicably, Qi Yan's little mouth became sweeter and sweeter.
This is a family...
But Qi Yan's heart is always empty. The relationship between him and Jing Ranxiu is just an ordinary brotherly relationship.
That night, Qi Yan returned to the room and leaned against the door. He had difficulty breathing... He felt suffocated with heartache. He seemed to want to touch him and say something to him, whispers, private words, not the polite words like usual.
But, the two of them now don't allow it.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden knock on the door in the darkness.
"Who?" Qi Yan raised his head from his arms and looked towards the door.
After a long time, a familiar and surprising voice came from outside.
"It's me."
"... Jing Ranxiu?" Qi Yan was stunned, and quickly stood up from the ground, rushed to the door and opened it: "You..."
"Pfft——" Jing Ranxiu flashed in the moment he opened the door, then covered his hand holding the door handle and pushed the door closed.
"You, you come here so suddenly..."
"Are you waiting for me?"
"No..." Qi Yan said in a muffled voice: "I... am not waiting for you." But I hope you will come.
In the darkness, Qi Yan's expression could not be seen clearly, but Jing Ranxiu smiled happily: "Sorry, I wanted to come here a long time ago."
"Ah?"
"I think we shouldn't be so pessimistic." Jing Ranxiu's voice was light, and his words made some sense: "Since we are the same family and live under the same roof, there is nothing more advantageous than this, right?"
Qi Yan raised his head blankly and looked at him puzzledly: "...What do you mean?"
"Underground love." Jing Ranxiu slowly uttered three words.
Qi Yan was happy at first, and then sighed with regret: "How long can it last? And..." Underground love...
Jing Ranxiu looked at him, slowly lowered his head, and touched his lips.
"A lifetime."
Between the slurred lips and teeth, an indefinite deadline, accompanied by Jing Ranxiu's indifferent voice, slowly overflowed, warming the heart.
A lifetime of secret love, he is ready, just see if Qi Yan, the little bully, is willing.
[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +15, current favorability: 100]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. ]
As if he was relieved, he closed his eyes, and Qi Yan kissed him back.
A lifetime is just a lifetime, who am I afraid of!
