secret galaxy

On Saturday, Yao Nandong got up early in the morning, dragged Liang Yanjie to the market to buy vegetables, and knocked on Liang Qian's door before leaving.

Liang Qian was having a sweet dream. In the dream, Duan Xinghe was still a teenager, wearing a white and blue school uniform, kissing him in an empty classroom.

As soon as they kissed, Yao Nandong's knock on the door shattered the dream.

"Ah—" Liang Qian muttered irritably, covering his ears with a pillow, trying to block out the noise from outside.After a moment of stalemate, he was still defeated by Yao Nandong's lust, got out of bed with his eyes closed, opened the bedroom door, and asked angrily, "Mom, what are you going to do?"

Yao Nandong said reproachfully: "Xiao Duan came to eat at home today, you forgot."

"I haven't forgotten," Liang Qian barely opened his eyes a millimeter apart, "Isn't it too early?"

"It's time to get up!" Liang Yanjie stood at the top of the stairs with his hands behind his back, showing a leadership demeanor, "You know how to sleep late, young people are not like this."

Liang Qian was about to collapse, pointing to the wall clock on the wall: "It's only seven o'clock!"

"Stop making trouble, hurry up and clean up the house, let's go shopping now. By the way, what do the two brothers and sisters like to eat?"

"Hmm...Xiaoyou likes to eat coke chicken wings, Duan Xinghe likes to eat fish, and what else-- wild rice."

"The others?"

"It's gone, just look at it and buy it," Liang Qian yawned, and was about to close the door when he suddenly remembered a detail, "By the way, mom, remember to buy fish without spines."

After the couple went downstairs, he fell back on the bed and went back to sleep. Just as he closed his eyes, the phone rang again—the latest single from Refrigerant Band, Duan Xinghe's exclusive ringtone.

Liang Qian pressed the answer button, his mind was still dazed, and he invented a nickname casually: "Little Xinghe, what's wrong?"

Because of the morning, his voice was hoarse and deeper than usual, mixed with a little lazy lust, very charming.The other end was quiet for a while, and asked cautiously: "You haven't gotten up yet?"

Liang Qian sat up rubbing his eyes, leaned against the head of the bed, and said, "Get up right away."

Duan Xinghe seemed to be shopping in a supermarket, there was a lot of noise around him, and there was the sound of the wheels of the trolley scraping across the floor.He asked Liang Qian: "What gift should I give my uncle and aunt?"

It was just a light meal. Liang Qian didn't think it was a big deal at first, but he was "harassed" by Yao Nandong and Duan Xinghe early in the morning, and each of them was serious, which made him a little nervous.

"My mother likes flowers and plants, so you can just buy a bunch of flowers. My father..." Liang Yanjie loves to drink red wine, but he will definitely not be able to buy high-quality red wine for a while, and top-notch red wine is very expensive. Duan Xinghe spent too much, thought for a while, and said: "You can buy him a box of tea. There is a shop he often goes to, and I will send you the location."

"Well, then when will we come, later, earlier, or on time?" Duan Xinghe thought carefully and paid attention to details, "Auntie is a judge, so she should like to be on time."

Liang Qian smiled: "Why do you think so much, take this as your own, and come whenever you want."

Hanging up the phone, Liang Qian didn't feel sleepy anymore, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and picked up the mop and rag to start cleaning before his parents came back.Fortunately, the housekeeping staff did the general cleaning two weeks ago, and now they are just cleaning up the living room, so the workload is not too big.

At nine o'clock, Liang Yanjie and Yao Nandong came back from the vegetable market.Liang Qian was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He leaned his wet mop against the wall, rushed to the window, and complained to the yard: "You guys have been shopping for too long!"

Liang Yanjie got out of the car first, picked up things in the trunk, and said, "It's not your mother, I have to get a haircut."

"Isn't today a big day?" Yao Nandong pushed open the car door, and it turned out to be different. His shoulder-length hair was blown into an inward-looking shape, light makeup and blush were applied on his face, and he looked healthy, rosy, and young. a lot.

"Yo," Liang Qian gave a thumbs up sincerely, and then disliked his father, "Why didn't you get one?"

Liang Yanjie rolled his eyes at him: "What are you doing? It's gaudy."

Yao Nandong was very happy, and walked into the kitchen to start working. Liang Yanjie helped her, and the husband and wife carried a small bench, picking vegetables, washing rice, washing meat and scraping fish.After wiping the vases, cabinets, and coffee table in the living room, Liang Qian arranged the sofa and pillows neatly, and strolled to the kitchen to watch the excitement: "You bought so many?"

Yao Nandong poured clams and crabs into the clear water and said, "Six people eat, isn't that much?"

"Then you are busy," Liang Qian grabbed a handful of salted peanuts, "I'll take a break first."

"Just dragged the ground, see what you can do."

"Very tired, okay?" Liang Qian didn't leave, leaning against the wall to watch them busy.Yao Nandong chopped meat on the chopping board with quick movements, while Liang Yanjie lowered his head to scrape the potato skins, clumsily and patiently.The potatoes rolled to the ground again and again, but he didn't get angry, just picked them up as usual, and continued to scrape diligently.After a while, the glasses slipped down the bridge of his nose, and he pushed them back with the back of his hand.

Liang Qian was inexplicably sad. He threw the peanut shells into the trash can and squeezed his father away: "I'll come, you go peel the peas."

The three of them performed their duties and cooperated tacitly. Yao Nandong only needed one look, and Liang Yanjie could accurately hand over what she needed without saying a word.

"Dad, Mom," Liang Qian said after scraping the potatoes, rinsed a piece of lotus root under the faucet, and turned his back to them, "You must like Duan Xinghe."

Without waiting for their answer, he added jokingly: "But he is very nice, it is impossible for you not to like him."

"Don't worry," Yao Nandong laughed heartily, "I asked you to bring it back a long time ago, don't you like it? Your father said he is a good boy."

Liang Yanjie commented: "Xiao Duan is good. He is serious and polite in his work. He never talks too much. He is very reasonable."

Yao Nandong said: "I just don't know what he looks like, is he handsome?"

Liang Qian turned off the tap, and was about to praise Duan Xinghe, but Liang Yanjie was the first to scold him: "Why are you so superficial?"

Yao Nandong retorted: "I'm not superficial, can I fall in love with you?"

The two men started bickering, which was more interesting than cross talk skits. Liang Qian enjoyed watching the show, shook off the water from his hands, and acted as a referee in the middle: "Come on, who was chasing who? .”

While talking and laughing, the kitchen began to emit the aroma of hot food.At eleven o'clock, Liang Qian walked into the yard and sent a message to Duan Xinghe: "Have you left yet?"

"Well," Duan Xinghe sent a photo of a large bouquet of flowers and a box of beautifully packaged tea, and he repeatedly confirmed to Liang Qian, "Is this okay?"

"Okay," Liang Qian said, "I'll pick you up."

Duan Xinghe didn't let him pick it up, and said he would be there in a while, so Liang Qian stood in the yard and waited, watering the flowers and plants at home by the way.

"Is it coming?" Yao Nandong also walked outside the door and looked around with Liang Qian, "I've cut the vegetables, and I'll fry them when everyone gathers, otherwise it will be cold."

In the distance, two figures appeared, one tall and one short, Yao Nandong shook Liang Qian's shoulder excitedly: "Is that the one?"

Liang Qian smiled: "Yes."

Duan Xinghe wore a light blue casual suit today, his hair was cut short, and he looked very energetic. He was holding flowers, his lips were blocked by pink carnations, and his eyes were clear and calm.

When he saw Yao Nandong and Liang Qian, he became less calm and quickened his pace, making Duan Xiaoyou have to trot to keep up.

The gate was open, but Duan Xinghe stopped outside the railing, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hey, hello," Yao Nandong stepped forward, he didn't know whether he was excited or nervous, he wanted to hug Duan Xinghe's shoulder, but felt it was inappropriate, and said with a smile: "This is Xinghe, isn't it?"

Duan Xinghe nodded and handed over the flowers: "For you."

"Thank you," Yao Nandong took the flowers, took a sip, and then turned to look at Duan Xiaoyou: "Is this Xiaoyou? Sigh, my God, it's even more beautiful than in the photo."

Duan Xiaoyou was wearing the skirt Yao Xuyun gave her, and a thick windbreaker over it. Her black hair, which was usually tied into a ponytail, fell down to her waist, like Snow White.She pursed her lips and smiled at Yao Nandong.

Liang Qian interrupted them: "Go in and talk, it's cold outside."

"That's right, that's right," Yao Nandong led the siblings into the villa, and said enthusiastically, "You don't need to change your shoes, just sit wherever you want."

Liang Yanjie came out of the kitchen when he heard the sound, and nodded to Duan Xinghe: "Xiao Duan is here."

Duan Xinghe froze for a moment, then blurted out: "Hello, Director."

Liang Qian was arranging flowers, and was amused by him, and almost knocked over the vase.

"This is not in a law firm, you don't have to call him that." After finishing speaking, they found that they were not smiling, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward.

"It's all the same," Liang Yanjie exchanged greetings with Duan Xiaoyou again: "Is this your sister? How old is she?"

Duan Xinghe answered for his younger sister: "22."

"Come, eat some fruit," Yao Nandong filled the coffee table, "Don't be polite with Auntie, ah."

The house was as lively as New Year’s Eve, full of joy and joy. Sitting on the sofa, the brothers and sisters were sitting on the sofa, holding hands full of bananas, lychees, and mangosteens that Yao Nandong had stuffed for them. Really eating, Duan Xiaoyou shrugged his shoulders, the orange in his hand was almost squeezed out of juice.

Liang Qian poured hot tea for them, and touched the back of Duan Xinghe's hand under the cover of the sofa, which was considered a trivial comfort.

He really wanted to save them, but Yao Nandong and Liang Yanjie really had good intentions, especially her mother, who took it very seriously and went shopping early in the morning for fear of messing up the meeting.

After a while, perhaps because they got used to each other's rhythm, or because they complied with the principle of "extreme things must be reversed", the two sides gradually relaxed, and Duan Xinghe's straight back also protruded a little natural arc.

Yao Nandong felt embarrassed for his excessive enthusiasm, and laughed at himself: "Come here, I'm so excited, I'll let you watch a joke."

"No way," Duan Xinghe smiled, "I like Auntie very much."

"Hey, anyway, when I see Xinghe, I always feel very kind." Yao Nandong looked at Duan Xinghe for a moment with a loving face, and said to Liang Qian, "I seem to have seen him somewhere."

Liang Qian waited for a long time, just to wait for this sentence, he shouted angrily: "You have seen it before, think about it carefully!"

Yao Nandong never recalled it. After listening to their explanation, he realized that Duan Xinghe was the boy who entrusted her to hand over the birthday present. He stared in surprise: "It's you!"

She was immersed in the past and couldn't recover for a while, so Liang Yanjie seized the opportunity to interject: "Xiao Duan, I heard from Liang Qian that you took the judicial examination this year?"

Duan Xinghe replied modestly: "Well, I'll give it a try."

"Okay, okay, that's how it should be," Liang Yanjie nodded approvingly, "Don't feel pressured, your high school grades are so good, you will definitely pass. After you pass, you will be under my name, and you will be involved in a case with anyone. OK."

Duan Xinghe bowed sincerely: "Thank you Director, I will do my best."

Liang Yanjie went to see Duan Xiaoyou again, and wanted to start a conversation with the little girl, but he didn't know how to say it, so he handed over a tissue and said, "Sister, wipe your hands."

Duan Xiaoyou shuddered, not daring to look at Liang Yanjie, quickly took the tissue and whispered thank you.She spread out her palm, revealing the ravaged orange that was limp and unrecognizable, and bit her lip in embarrassment.Liang Qian saw it, and quietly pushed the trash can in front of her. Duan Xiaoyou hesitated for a moment, threw the rotten orange away, and wiped his fingers vigorously with a paper towel.

Several people were chatting, when there was a sudden sound of crisp footsteps in the yard, and soon Yao Xuyun walked in.

Duan Xiaoyou, who had been silent all this time, was the first to say hello, her cheeks blushing: "Sister Taozi!"

Yao Xuyun smiled and waved to her: "Are you guys already here?"

Yao Nandong scolded, "You are the slowest."

"It's a traffic jam, don't blame me," Yao Xuyun walked to the living room, stroked Duan Xiaoyou's hair affectionately, and said, "Xiaoyou is so beautiful today."

"It is indeed prettier than you, are you cosplaying a witch?" Liang Qian teased, pointing at her black cloak.

"Don't interrupt if you don't understand fashion." Yao Xuyun squeezed beside Duan Xiaoyou and joined their conversation.Within a few minutes, she became addicted to cigarettes. As soon as she took out one, Yao Nandong stopped her: "Take it outside."

Yao Nandong was ten years older, and his elder sister was like a mother. Yao Xuyun still listened to her, but it was chilly outside, so he wanted to fool around by acting like a baby: "The temperature has dropped today, it's cold."

Yao Nandong was unmoved: "Don't use second-hand smoke to harm us here."

Liang Yanjie said: "Don't you want to quit, why are you smoking again?"

Yao Xuyun scratched his hair sadly: "I can't write new books, I'm anxious."

"What's there to be anxious about?" Liang Qian made up the knife head-on, "Anyway, no one reads it after writing it."

"Liang Qian, are you here to find me unhappy today?" Yao Xuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he jumped over Duan Xiaoyou's shoulder to hit Liang Qian, Liang Qian immediately hid behind Duan Xinghe, hugged his arm, and shouted "" What are you doing so violently?"

"Sister Taozi, let me go with you." Duan Xiaoyou gently grabbed Yao Xuyun's cloak.

Yao Xuyun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "That's good."

They went to the yard, and there were only four people left in the villa, so they could say some difficult words in front of Duan Xiaoyou.

Duan Xinghe may have sensed the change in the atmosphere, he clenched his left hand on his knee into a fist, and glanced at Liang Qian anxiously.

Liang Qian moved his eyebrows, signaling him not to worry.

In fact, he didn't know what to order, and he didn't know what the old couple wanted to order.

"Xinghe," Yao Nandong pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, inadvertently revealing a piece of white sideburns, she looked at Duan Xinghe, her eyes were as gentle as water, and said slowly: "We, Liang Qian, have many shortcomings, but we are positive. , kind and optimistic, and always able to make people happy, just like you, he is a good boy. He told us that he likes boys when he was in college, but he hasn’t brought anyone back for so many years, so since I knew he was chasing you, I I've been talking about taking you back to have a look, I'm really in a hurry, I know, don't be angry with Auntie."

Duan Xinghe shook his head quickly, with a solemn expression: "No, auntie."

Yao Nandong smiled slightly: "Uncles and aunts are all understanding people. There are some things that I didn't know before, but now I think about it, and I suddenly understand. It is really not easy for you to have today, and you should cherish it. Although no one can guarantee what the future will be , but Auntie sincerely hopes that the two of you can stay together, support each other, and spend the rest of your life."

Liang Yanjie stood up from the sofa, paced and circled in the living room, took off his glasses and wiped the bridge of his nose, always facing away from them.Duan Xinghe moved his lips, and breathlessly said "OK".

Yao Nandong continued: "As for our family, as you can see, we all have a very good relationship, and sometimes we are not the same old or young. Liang Qian also has an uncle and an uncle who are all in other cities, although we can only see each other during the holidays. , but once something happens, they will help each other. Now that you and Liang Qian are together, this is your home. If you are wronged outside, you must tell your uncle and aunt, and don’t bear it alone.”

Duan Xinghe stared blankly at Yao Nandong, his eyes flushed, and he answered after a while: "Thank you, auntie." His tone was choked with sobs.

It was also the first time for Liang Qian to hear Yao Nandong say this, and his heart seemed to be stuffed with cotton, stuffy and sore, so he knocked on the coffee table, trying to restore the joyful atmosphere: "Mom, what are you doing, really."

Yao Nandong concentrated the cannon fire on him, took Duan Xinghe's hand and told him: "By the way, there is also Liang Qian, he is careless, sometimes he makes you angry, you must tell auntie, I will deal with him. "

Duan Xinghe turned to look at Liang Qian, his expression relaxed, like a cat showing its soft belly.He shook his head and smiled lightly: "No, auntie, he's fine."
