[The summer solstice has not yet come] Carving time

Both Gu Qiaochu and Lu Zhiang knew that since they met each other's parents, the essence of their relationship has become somewhat different.

Gu Qiaochu handed over the management of the bookstore to the clerk more, and he gradually got in touch with the company's affairs again, and contacted Yu Lai for more recent information.

For convenience, he moved to Lu Zhiang's house in the urban area.

"Your house doesn't look like a single man's."

Gu Qiao joked like this on the first day he went there. He walked through the living room and saw the potted green plant on the balcony, the wooden floor under his feet was mild and clean, everything was neat and tidy, and the furniture was fresh white.

Lu Zhiang walked over and put his arms around his waist, and whispered in his ear, "In the past few years, I haven't thought of myself as a single man."

"Except for the life of X."

Gu Qiaochu froze, he stretched out his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose unnaturally, and finally turned around and kissed the corner of Lu Zhiang's lips without embarrassment.

But nothing was said.

After getting used to the life of two people, Lu Zhiang tried to let Gu Qiaochu meet the "previous person".

This weekend, he wanted to try Gu Qiaochu's tone.

After having lunch at home, Gu Qiaochu sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone.

Lu Zhiang went over to put the phone away, but was stared at fiercely, and suddenly felt extremely wronged, "You have bad eyesight and you keep playing with your phone! I'm worried that you are still so fierce to me?!"

"Don't make trouble." Gu Qiaochu knew that Lu Zhiang had a lot of drama, he rolled his eyes, and then replied to the message on the phone, "I'm chatting with Li Xia."

"Lixia?!" Lu Zhiang was stunned, he remembered that the last time he saw Lixia was when he just returned to Asakawa two years ago.Many of the friends who came out together at that time have gradually lost contact, but he still knows the significance of Li Xia to Gu Qiaochu.

Therefore, he was not so embarrassed to ask Gu Qiaochu if he wanted to meet Fu Xiaosi.

"How's Lixia going?"

"Huh? It's okay." Gu Qiaochu just had time to glance at him, "My boyfriend treats her very well and is getting married soon. He invited me to the wedding."

"That……"

"You can go with me." Gu Qiaochu could see Lu Zhiang's worries, "But Fu Xiaosi is exempt."

"Zhiang, I love you, so Fu Xiaosi, as your friend, I will not refuse to meet you if you can't push. But Lixia is my sister, and I can't forgive him for hurting Lixia."

If possible, Gu Qiaochu hoped that Fu Xiaosi would never bother Lixia.

When the two of them were together, he felt that Li Xia's behavior was not worth it.

She spent almost all those years on Fu Xiaosi, sorting out his work and taking care of his daily life.

But the result?

Although there is no one who is right or wrong when it comes to love, but from his point of view, he always feels unworthy for Li Xia.

And now it seems that Li Xia has really come out.

She began to learn to enjoy the beauty of a relationship instead of using all her energy to manage it.

So he hoped that Lixia could really be happy, and that Fu Xiaosi would not bother her anymore.

"...I understand what you mean, Ah Chu." Lu Zhiang hugged Gu Qiaochu, then gritted his teeth and said, "However, you are really kind to Lixia."

***

Lixia's wedding was in Lixia of that year.

The date was chosen by her fiancé. The man didn't know exactly why, but anyone who came to the wedding and knew the bride's name could understand what he meant.

Lixia's father passed away early, and there was no male in the family, so Gu Qiaochu took on the task of sending her on the red carpet in such a muddle-headed manner.

He asked for a few days off in advance, and followed the scene. He could find something to do from the wedding scene layout to the process arrangement.

It was the first wedding they had grown up with.

Lu Zhiang followed Gu Qiaochu to pick white roses, and booked a shop to send flowers to the wedding venue.He ran after Gu Qiaochu, and then whispered, "When we get married in the future, you have to work harder than this."

Gu Qiaochu's foot slipped and he was hugged around the waist before standing still.He only felt his forehead twitching, not sure if Lu Zhiang was serious, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"..."

Lu Zhiang stopped talking.

He always thought that Gu Qiaochu was so careless because he was familiar with the process and prepared for their future marriage.Looking at it now, that's good. He's the one who thinks too much about feelings?

He held Gu Qiaochu's hand tighter and tighter, feeling more and more wrong, "You're so distracted, don't make others think that the groom is you."

Gu Qiaochu hated that he was not at home, he was wearing leather shoes instead of house slippers.Otherwise, he could immediately take off his shoes and beat up Lu Zhiang.

"Don't talk nonsense, or go home and sleep on the balcony tonight." Gu Qiaochu resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

His eyes are still not very comfortable, and it is even more uncomfortable after wearing glasses for a long time.

When Lu Zhiang saw that his eyes were uncomfortable, his whole body was not well.No matter how long it took, he couldn't bear Gu Qiaochu's flaws all over his body.He didn't care that it was on the side of the road, so he supported Gu Qiaochu's neck and massaged his temples, "Didn't I tell you not to be so busy!"

"Shut up." Gu Qiaochu shook off Lu Zhiang's hand, and got into the co-pilot by himself.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Lu Zhiang stepped on the gas pedal and headed home, no matter what, he wouldn't let Gu Qiaochu take care of other people's weddings anymore.

"go back!"

"On the way back."

"...I mean go to the wedding venue."

Lu Zhiang didn't like it, he didn't talk to him, and finally he didn't look at Gu Qiaochu at all.

Gu Qiaochu feels that Lu Zhiang has become more and more bloated recently, obviously he can't control it anymore?He was dragged home by Lu Zhiang, feeling that his dignity as a senior had been violated, "Hehe, you really have grown up."

The person who was able to withdraw his fingers immediately when he asked them to retract them, now he can't say anything.

Gu Qiaochu was sitting on the sofa, listening to Lu Zhiang start making soup in the kitchen, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction.He didn't bother to comfort him anymore, he just wanted to get Lu Zhiang back to high school.

It's soft, obedient, and juicy, like Chinese cabbage.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Zhiang took out two tissue papers to wipe his hands, he took the pillow from Gu Qiaochu's arms and threw it on the ground, and hugged him into his arms, "You are not thinking about how to make me listen to you If so?"

"...How do you know?" Gu Qiaochu began to feel that the future was a bit gloomy.

"Actually, I want me to listen to you, it's very simple." Lu Zhiang quietly pulled out the hem of Gu Qiaochu's shirt, he put his hand on Gu Qiaochu's waist, squinted his eyes and smiled, very reminiscent of when he was in high school , not being obedient, "On the bed, whatever you say is what you say."

"???" Gu Qiaochu stared, he pressed Lu Zhiang's hand that had already started to untie his belt, "Aren't you making soup?"

In the past few days, Lu Zhiang tried his best to improve Gu Qiaochu's life, making soup is what he likes to do.

"It will take a few hours to boil slowly in the pot."

"You listen to me in bed? Then why are you stopping?"

"Well... how about you say something else?" Lu Zhiang leaned down and kissed Gu Qiaochu's collarbone, smiling vaguely, "If you speak deeper, I will speak deeper. If you speak faster, I will speak sooner." a little."

He watched Gu Qiaochu's eyes turn red in his arms, and finally the two collapsed on the sofa.

I don't know how long it took, but he laughed again, "If you say do it again, I will do it again~"

In the end, Gu Qiaochu couldn't tell how many times he heard Lu Zhiang say "you say do it again, I'll do it again".He just felt that he would never be able to look directly at the word "you said" again.

On the day of the wedding, Gu Qiaochu and Lu Zhiang sat down and watched Lixia and her fiancé swear an oath.

Encounter and Yan Mo were at the same table with them, the two girls got together and started to take pictures like crazy, from the newlyweds to their parents, and finally to Gu Qiaochu and Yu Lai who were whispering together opposite them.

There is also Lu Zhiang who is sitting next to Gu Qiaochu with a superficial smile.

When Gu Qiaochu and Yu Lai were finally over, Lu Zhiang stretched out his hand and hooked Gu Qiaochu's neck, "What are you two talking behind my back? You can't pry the corner of my wall in front of me, right? How hurtful?" people?"

"..." Gu Qiaochu patted Lu Zhiang's hand away, and tidied up the suit carefully, "I'm just evaluating with Yu."

"Assess what?" Lu Zhiang couldn't help straightening the tie.

"Assess whether this man is reliable or not." Gu Qiaochu pushed up his glasses and looked at the groom in the stands seriously.

During these times, he still had some contact with Li Xia, but all he knew about this man stopped at what Li Xia told him.

After the toast, Gu Qiaochu couldn't bear the people who talked to him, so he simply took a glass of wine and walked away.

This is an open-air wedding, the groom hired a famous designer to help design, the whole scene is his love for Lixia.

Gu Qiaochu walked up a small hillside. He stood there and looked down. Unexpectedly, he saw the man standing below.

He can be sure that whether it is Lu Zhiang, Yu Lai, or Yan Mohe Yuyu, they will not be able to tell Fu Xiaosi that Lixia holds a wedding here.

He squinted his eyes halfway, trying to see Fu Xiaosi's expression clearly.Unfortunately, even with glasses, he couldn't see clearly.

So he could only shake his glass regretfully, took a sip of champagne, and finally turned and left.

When walking back, he saw Lu Zhiang who came out to look for him, ran over with a bad expression, almost yelling, "Could you tell me next time you go?!"

"Too lazy to bother." Gu Qiaochu casually put the wine glass on the tray of the passing waiter.He watched Lu Zhiang's expression become extremely ugly at that moment, he suddenly couldn't bear it, at Lixia's wedding scene, he pressed the back of Lu Zhiang's head and kissed, "Next time... where am I going? Take you with me."

Lu Zhiang heard high school students around him exclaiming in surprise.

They were all in their twenties, and at this moment, it suddenly felt like they were back in high school.

He heard a girl yelling, and raised his voice without restraint, "What the hell did I say?! They have no legs! I apologize!"

Lu Zhiang suddenly felt that this story seemed a bit complete.

When we were just together and you thought about how to end it, when you never wanted others to know about our relationship, and you never felt unhappy because others approached me... those times, I was alone People's grievances seem to disappear at this time.

"Gu Qiaochu, I thought that in this life, I would never be able to wait for a romantic relationship."

"not bad……"

Lu Zhiang put his arms around Gu Qiaochu's waist and laughed softly.

"Your company sums up at the end of the year, how about I go with you?"

"What are you going for?"

"Tell the people in your company...this is my man."

"Um... that's fine."
