It was already dark when we got home, Tan Xiao hastily took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and started cooking the New Year's Eve dinner for the two of them.Because he wanted to show off his skills, he went to the supermarket yesterday to buy a refrigerator full of ingredients. After a while, the room was filled with the scent of all kinds of sweet and sour vegetables, which made Du Ningxiu salivate. Xiao's side to play tricks.

"Brother, let me have a taste."

"I want that piece of beef, no, the one with tendons."

"Hiss, it's so spicy..."

"This sweet, what did you put?"

Tan Xiao was busy cooking and feeding, and when he heard the last sentence he laughed, he turned his head and kissed Du Ningxiu's sweet mouth, and said with a smile, "Nothing is as sweet as you, baby."

Du Ningxiu was a little embarrassed, and protested seriously, "Don't call me baby", but his movements were very flamboyant, he stretched his arms around Tan Xiao's waist, and hung on him coquettishly.

Tan Xiao's heart was soft. While picking up the intestines and deboning them, he raised his head and bumped his forehead, and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Du Ningxiu rubbed against his shoulder, closed his eyes and squinted for a while, then whispered, "No, I just feel... so happy."

The movements of Tan Xiao's hands paused, he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said slowly, "Speaking of which, this is not the first time we celebrate the New Year together. My mother used to cook, and my dad and I helped each other. , you are just a snack beside me... Heh, it's been a long time."

Du Ningxiu's arm around him froze slightly, a little afraid to answer.

Tan Xiao was silent for a long while, then smiled again, and turned around and said, "You've never been surprised, where have all my family members gone?"

Du Ningxiu hugged him tightly, with a cautious tone, and said hesitantly, "It's okay if you don't say it...Don't say it, don't think about those unhappy things."

The smile on the corner of Tan Xiao's mouth slowly dissipated, and after a long time, he let out a soft breath and asked, "Have you checked it?"

Du Ningxiu didn't dare to talk nonsense, he pursed his lips behind him, and said after a long time, "I'm just worried about you."

Tan Xiao stared blankly at the front, the fish on the cutting board opened its mouth wide, its liver and intestines were broken, and it looked cruel.He put his eyes aside, lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then slowly relaxed his back, as if he was suddenly tired, leaned his whole body back, and fell into Du Ningxiu's open arms.

The man closed his eyes, his voice was very low and deep, as if he was trapped in a thick mist.

"My father...was framed by someone. He failed to invest and was tricked into taking usurious loans. In fact, it was all a trap by his opponent...but no one pities us. If we are in debt, we are in debt. Those people come to force us every day. debt, and verbally humiliated my mother, my father had no choice but to take us away..."

"But no matter how far we go, those people will not let us go, even if we have no money and no food... They are all professional debt collectors, and their methods are very cruel. We have hidden in many places to no avail. , as long as I earn a little money, it will be snatched away by them soon... We have been poor for three years, and one day my mother finally couldn't stand it anymore, she collapsed, crying and wanting to live, my father and I fought hard Fate finally grabbed her..."

"No one helped us, and all relatives and friends hid from us like the plague. In the end, my father had no choice but to buy the highest life insurance with all his savings, and then... jumped off the roof in front of the debt collectors. .”

Tan Xiao's voice was very small, hollow and almost inaudible. Du Ningxiu held him motionless and let him murmur unconsciously, but seemed unable to hold on anymore, and closed his mouth behind him. eyes.

"The insurance pays a lot of compensation. My mother and I paid off the worst creditors, but my father... didn't even have a funeral. There was only a small box for him, and he couldn't even afford a place to bury him... ..."

"The remaining several million, my mother and I worked hard to make money, and paid back bit by bit. You asked me about this injury... At that time, black market boxing was very fierce, and a fight won tens of thousands of yuan in bonuses. There are still more than [-] yuan left to win the championship in the season. I played for two years and changed the skin, and finally earned enough to pay off the debts we owed, and finally paid off all of them.”

Du Ningxiu's pupils trembled slightly under his eyelids, and his eyelashes seemed to be a little wet, but he didn't shed tears.He lowered his head, put his cold lips on the back of Tan Xiao's neck, and still firmly wrapped his arms around the absent-minded man in his arms.

"My mother was already so skinny at that time. On the night when all the debts were paid off, she cooked a lot of delicious food, and then told me to live well, so that I would use my own name in the future and live freely. We have suffered for five years, and it is finally over. I was very happy that day, and I wanted to find a serious job, and I will take good care of her in the future and make her happy, but that night...she committed suicide... "

"Leaving me a suicide note, she said she was going to find her father. She said that she killed him. She missed and felt guilty for two years. Now it's over, and she has no strength to live anymore," Tan Xiao raised his hand, squeezed Du Ningxiu's arm around his waist little by little, and said word by word with difficulty, "I tried my best to hurt her all over, but in the end... she just left me and walked away. It's..."

Du Ningxiu finally opened his eyes, turned around with the person in his arms.The man's eyes were blood red and wet, and Du Ningxiu's heart almost stopped beating. He took a long time to find some breath, pressed Tan Xiao's head on his shoulder, stroked his hair slowly, opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse Dry, "She can't face you, and she can't face your father, she can't bear it anymore... But she left after paying off the debt, and stayed with you until the end, she still loves you, right Isn't it? And...it's all over, now I'm with you, we're together, we'll never be apart again, that's already very good, isn't it? "

Tan Xiao didn't speak for a long time, his eyes pressed tightly on Du Ningxiu's shoulders, until the latter was overwhelmed with panic, the man finally raised his head, looked at Du Ningxiu's pale face and murmured, "If it's not I accidentally saw your cover at the newsstand, maybe... I also took something long ago and ended myself. "

Du Ningxiu's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth silently.

Tan Xiao stretched out his arms to hug him, and whispered in his ear, "You always say that you rely on me and I saved you, but in fact...it's the opposite...I only see your news every day, and I miss you crazily. Only you can support me to continue to live alone. You are my salvation, my only concern in this world, without you, this world would not have me long ago," Tan Xiao slowly straightened his back , the empty light in the eyes gathered little by little, "You are right, we are destined to be together, no one will care about you more than me, and no one will love me more than you. We only have each other, Maybe……"

Du Ningxiu raised his eyes to look at him, and asked cautiously, "Maybe what?"

Tan Xiao didn't answer, just stared at him greedily and deeply, then turned his head and kissed the other's slightly trembling lips.

Maybe... everything I encountered was just to meet you.

Let me miss you more, cherish you more, wish I could lock you in my arms every moment.

I can't bear to let go of it for a second, because I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, you will disappear again.

I wasted most of my youth, if it's just for the warmth of embracing you at this moment, is the blood and pain worth it?

No one can tell me the answer.

The only thing I can confirm is that at this moment, in the past, I have never regretted meeting you for a single moment.

What about you?

Ning Xiu, is it worth it for you to get so many scars to meet me?

Du Ningxiu's eyes were full of worry and heartache, but he didn't know how to express it. Tan Xiao calmed down a little bit, and carefully described the handsome and longing face of the man in front of him, then slowly smiled and stretched out his hand Hold each other's slightly cool palm.

When he was dragged to the living room, Du Ningxiu was still a little dazed, but he was still cautious, as if Tan Xiao was too sad and lost his mind.Tan Xiao's blocked mood gradually dissipated when he saw his worried eyes, replaced by an unspeakable warm current, which made him unable to bear it any longer, took a deep breath, and knelt down on one knee towards Du Ningxiu down.

Du Ningxiu was shocked, obviously confused, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"I wanted to give it to you when the New Year's bell rang, but... I can't wait." Of course Tan Xiao was also nervous, but he still maintained a gentle smile, holding Du Ningxiu's hand to his lips Kiss, then reached into his pocket and took out a small square box.

"You gave me a house, so I'll give you a pair of rings." Tan Xiao blushed a little, and could almost hear his frantic heartbeat, "I spent all my savings, um...the quality is not bad, customized , you should like it."

After a lot of effort, he opened the box, revealing two shining silver rings inside, "The two names of us are engraved inside, I checked it, and it looks pretty good."

Du Ningxiu still didn't respond, and stood motionless with his face as stiff as a log.

Tan Xiao was made even more nervous by his reaction, and it took all his strength to force himself to speak, pretending to be bold and said, "Ning Xiu, marry me!"

Du Ningxiu's eyes were pitch-black, and this time he didn't even have eyesight, and his computer completely froze.
