non-sweet interaction

Seriously got up, the two of them had breakfast in the room, not knowing what to do, lying on the bed for a long time, Xiao Rujun suddenly remembered that he had not finished the strategy that he had worked on for a long time. After finding Meng Qinian, I really don't know whether to be happy or happy, or happy.

"Where do you want to go, I can accompany you, so you don't have to drink alone on the street." Meng Qinian laughed at him.

Xiao Rujun glared at him: "How dare you say that you left me there alone and left with another man!"

"There was a party yesterday, it's inappropriate for me not to go." Meng Qinian fell on Xiao Rujun again, "Besides, the French don't start their official nightlife until ten o'clock. I left at ten o'clock because of you. Are you still not satisfied?"

Xiao Rujun thinks about it too, but when he thinks about the ambiguous appearance of that tall French man with Meng Qinian yesterday, he doesn't feel much better in his heart.He pursed his lips: "Then who is that person?"

Meng Qinian did not reply for a long time.Xiao Rujun shook him a bit, and then brought Meng Qinian back to his senses: "Oh, it's not anyone, it's just... an ex-boyfriend of me..."

How many ex-boyfriends do you have?

Seeing that Xiao Rujun was about to get upset, Meng Qinian wanted to gag him again, but he dodged away.

"Are you jealous?" Meng Qinian suppressed a smile.

"I didn't," Xiao Rujun lied without blushing, "I don't care at all."

Meng Qinian didn't believe it, he coaxed Xiao Rujun softly: "Don't be angry, can I buy you some clothes?"

Xiao Rujun stared at him with wide eyes: "I'm so easy to be bribed?"

"Then can I buy you props?"

"It's almost..."

The two slowly changed their clothes for going out, and it was time for lunch again.Meng Qinian must put on the clothes he took off with his own hands, and Xiao Rujun found that he really has a lot of such bad tastes.

The Avenue of the Champs Elysees, the Eiffel Tower, the bridge over the Seine, in the most romantic heart of Europe, the two can finally walk through all the scenery hand in hand regardless of anyone's gaze, although Meng Qinian's final destination, Still came to Galeries Lafayette...

"Didn't you say you won't buy clothes?" Xiao Rujun helplessly looked at Meng Qinian who didn't count.

"I want to take you to meet someone, so I have to dress formally." Regardless of Xiao Rujun's objection, Meng Qinian led him in.

Seeing that Meng Qinian's expression became serious, Xiao Rujun didn't dare to joke with him anymore, and asked, "Who is it?"

"My fashion enlightenment teacher," Meng Qinian glanced at Xiao Rujun, "the person who is very important to me is also my... most important ex-boyfriend."

Ex-boyfriend again?

In a small two-story building in a certain district of Paris, there is a handmade garment workshop with a long history. After being acquired by a well-known brand more than 30 years ago, it has been providing advanced hand-made customization services for the brand.After hiding in the brand, the chief designer who has been in charge of the brand for more than 30 years often haunts here.

Xiao Rujun tugged at the collar of his collar, complaining that Meng Qinian insisted on stuffing himself into this smaller suit.Meng Qinian could only smile apologetically: "I'm sorry, Gerard has always only liked thin people."

"But you're not skinny..." Xiao Rujun looked at him angrily, "Why does he like you?"

"I was thinner than you when I was young!" Meng Qinian said angrily, he was so angry that he insisted on forcing him to say the words "when I was young".

Although the fashion industry has gotten better in the past few years, traditional and paranoid designers still regard thinness as beauty, the thinner the more beautiful, and they are not willing to cater to the public.Anyway, fashion itself, from a certain point of view, is also a very personal thing.There is no uniform standard if the aesthetics have not come.

As soon as you enter the small building, there is a small foyer, and a large white spiral staircase leads directly to the second floor.From the concealed door, it can be heard that the craftsmen inside are working in full swing.A middle-aged lady with a very elegant manner came out to greet them and took them to the workshop on the second floor where Gerard often worked with tailors. A large room of more than 100 square meters was messily filled with various Workbenches, sewing machines, and mannequins. The shelves against the wall are filled with various fabrics and decorations. Countless ropes are stretched horizontally in the center of the room, and design sketches are hung on them.

"I was an intern here at the very beginning." Meng Qinian whispered to Xiao Rujun.

At the end of the room, a tall, middle-aged man with a fat figure was pinching his waist, and he was talking with the craftsman about the sample clothes on a dummy mannequin. He came out, as if expressing some dissatisfaction, and the craftsman scolded him not to be outdone, the two of them came and went, and the scene was spectacular.

The middle-aged lady walked over in time to interrupt them, and gestured to the man for Meng Qinian.He turned around and warmly greeted and hugged Meng Qi's annual report. Xiao Rujun was surprised when he saw his front face. This man seemed to be the age of their fathers.

Gerard and Meng Qinian talked in French for a few words, then switched to English, shook hands with Xiao Rujun, and praised his appearance without hesitation.Xiao Rujun endured chest tightness and shortness of breath, and expressed his gratitude modestly.

"I'm very glad that Arthur has finally found the love of his life. I like you as much as he does." Gerard has a good impression of Xiao Rujun. He used the term "love of life", which surprised Xiao Rujun. Is it such a heavy person, or is this a stalk between the two?

Although Gerard looks to be in his 50s, his overall mental state is still very young, and Xiao Rujun doesn't feel any sense of distance, and he likes to joke: "Don't look outside, Arthur and I have long been like family , and of course you are now too."

Gerard gave Xiao Rujun a very warm feeling, not the kind of warmth of an elder, but a kind of warmth that really pays attention to you and cares about you, equality, sincerity, and warmth from the heart.Xiao Rujun even saw a kind of absolute dependence and trust in the eyes of Meng Qinian looking at Gerard, which is indeed the kind of emotion that can only be produced between real family members. He has never had this kind of emotion for his blood relatives. The eyes, but willing to give them to a foreigner across races and ages, it seems that the relationship between the two is indeed unusual.

Gerard and Meng Qinian talked a lot about work and the fashion industry. In order for Xiao Rujun to understand, both of them used English, but Xiao Rujun could tell that Gerard's English was difficult, and from time to time he would unconsciously pop up Some French, but he still tried his best to express in English, and took care of Xiao Rujun's feelings from time to time, explaining to him some words that he clearly showed a confused expression, he is really a very charming person.After some conversation, Xiao Rujun felt that he was going to like him too.Before leaving, Gerard also gave Xiao Rujun a delicate brooch, pinned it on his clothes with his own hands, and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.It could be seen that he was really happy for the two of them, and it was the first time Xiao Rujun saw such a generous ex-boyfriend.

The two sat on the open-air seat drinking coffee, Xiao Rujun was finally able to untie the button that was strangling him to death, and took a breath.Meng Qinian's eyes looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.Xiao Rujun waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Hello."

Meng Qinian came back to his senses, and smiled at him indifferently: "What do you think of Gerard?"

"Very good," Xiao Rujun replied sincerely, "He likes me very much, aren't you happy?"

Meng Qinian put his hand on Xiao Rujun's, but there was inexplicable sadness in his smile: "Of course I'm happy."

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Rujun asked.He knew that Gerard was Meng Qinian's past. Although he wanted to know, he would not force him to tell him everything. He allowed Meng Qinian to have his own secret.He just asked.

Meng Qinian still had that sad smile on his face: "You know, Gerard and I almost got married."

He said it frankly, as if he was talking about a very distant past event, but in fact it was only seven or eight years ago.

Although Xiao Rujun thought it was nothing, it was really nothing, but he couldn't help but thumped in his heart.

Meng Qinian held Xiao Rujun's hand deeply into his own, and looked at him sincerely: "I think you need to know my past, I am willing to confess everything to you, I need to let you know the real me After that, if you still choose to love me, I can go on with you."

Why did it become so serious all of a sudden? Xiao Rujun felt uncomfortable again.But he was very happy that Meng Qinian could tell him that. At least, he knew that he was taking his relationship with him very seriously.Everyone is at this age, right...

"Then why didn't you marry him?"

This is a long story.

Meng Qinian probably knew two terrible things about himself almost at the same time when he was in high school.The death of his biological mother, and his liking for boys.

Before the age of 16, he was well protected by that family. He was introverted, shy, and not good at speaking. He went to the best private high school and was ordered to study finance abroad early. He never doubted the fate of inheriting the family business in the future. Father, mother, sister, love for him has the slightest adulteration.

After the second year of high school, he started boarding and adapted to the life away from home in advance. His family gradually lost his sense of existence in life. His classmates and teachers almost occupied his whole life. He found that his heart gradually changed. The classmates have strange feelings, and they are more and more concerned about their appearance, and they are not satisfied with wearing monotonous school uniforms every day.At the same time, he found that every time he left school, there would be an old lady watching him in the corner, and sometimes following him out, but when his family appeared, the old lady would disappear without a trace. The old lady only appears when he is alone or with his classmates.

In the last winter of high school, he expressed his love to that boy, and he didn't expect a response, just to keep his youth from regretting, but the boy couldn't accept it at all, and felt that he was disgusting, so he found an opportunity to "teach" him outside the school.Several boys beat and kicked around him, but it was the old lady who rushed out desperately, scaring them off with firecrackers and a shovel.From then on, he knew who his real grandmother and biological mother were.

The family, in his eyes, became that family.

He resisted for the first time, refusing to study finance in London, and wanted to study design in Paris, but was suppressed by no accident, so he went to London anyway.From then on, every step he took was full of difficulties, but he was still determined to change his fate. This life was not what he wanted. His mother had already lost her life for him. He decided that even if he died, he would die for himself. live.He played truant, came to Paris from London, and entrusted various connections to attend art classes at his favorite university. In order not to be cut off from his family’s financial resources, he had to take care of his original studies at the same time before he could become independent, studying day and night. In order to get enough credits so as not to be expelled from school, I was able to get a diploma smoothly.He tirelessly moved between the mainland and the three islands, he didn't know how he persisted in those days.

When he was about to graduate, he did not continue to study in the United States under the arrangement of his family. Instead, he found a part-time job in Paris, working in a buyer's store and working as an assistant in various fashion houses until he met Gerard.He became, strictly speaking, his first man.

Gerard almost brought him into the fashion industry, turning him from a design assistant into a well-known influencer.At that time, various social networks were developing in full swing, and it was the time when bloggers were reaping dividends. In the fashion industry that was almost monopolized by European and American bloggers, Asian faces were pitifully small, and men had no advantage in front of women. Gerard pushed Meng Qinian to the front of the stage as his secret weapon, and even called him his muse of inspiration, which made him popular on the Internet very quickly.

That period was also their unprecedented honeymoon period, and soon, Gerard proposed to him. (Foreigners actually like to get married, and even more like to get divorced.)

But they didn't bond.The Meng family who heard the news ran to Paris and captured Meng Qinian alive.They thought it was just Meng Qinian's revenge on the Meng family, especially his father, for the sake of his biological mother.Don't you want a boy, okay, I'll tell you to cut off all children and grandchildren.They speculated so viciously about him.

But Meng Qinian is no longer the kid who will be bullied because of his sexual orientation. Fortunately, he met Gerard, who made him a real man.He is calm, wise, courageous and resourceful, and tried countless ways to persuade the family to give up on him and let him do what he likes. He didn't want to take revenge on anyone, which was destined from birth.He hoped that his mother's death would make his father understand that it was the freedom she had sacrificed her life for him.

Later, he finally returned to Paris, but there are some things that are changed if they are changed.He and Gerard still had feelings, just not love anymore.Before he returned to China to develop, he once told him that if he meets the person he loves the most in his life in the future, someone who loves Gerard, he will definitely bring him to meet and tell him that he is still whole.

After a long time, Xiao Rujun couldn't recover from the shock.When he finally finished digesting the story, his first thought was that fortunately my family has no throne to inherit...

Meng Qinian watched with satisfaction the shock that this story brought to Xiao Rujun's face, and asked him with a smile, "How is it? Do you still want to be with me?"

"Of course." Xiao Rujun replied without thinking, "Although I'm not sure if I like men, I only know that I like you."

"You don't need to like other men, it's enough to like me alone."
