Good Night, Liang Xiao

Ye Ji'an had actually seen a scene similar to the one in front of him.On a certain cold winter night one year, he returned home without changing his clothes, fell asleep on the bed, and woke up suddenly after lying on the bed for more than ten minutes.He saw the recent situation of his college classmates—the girl was proposed on Valentine's Day, rose petals were all over the trunk, candles flickered in the four corners, and there was a small box in the center containing the ring.

Maybe it was because I was too excited, my old classmate sent several messages in a row, including videos, texts, and nine-square grid photos.For some reason, Ye Ji'an clicked and watched them one by one. When he was so hungry, he was washed away by other people's happiness. It was so refreshing and impressive.

Now a larger flower pond was placed in front of him.

It might be weird to use "pool" to describe it, but Ye Ji'an couldn't think of a more precise word.It's not petals, it's the whole rose, crowded together on the ground, like the dark waves of water, that kind of red can only be said to be so thick that it's black, so thick that it looks like it's about to flow.And there are not only roses in this pool, it can only be used as a base, and a small box that is not very eye-catching is placed above the flowers, and there is a glass box next to the small box. A small short-tailed lizard, red and blue in color, patterned like a small pineapple, but sleeker, exquisitely illuminated by the ring light of the trunk.

"The pine cone lizard seedlings are only three months old," Liang Xiao explained, "they were sent from Australia, but luckily they didn't have their tails docked."

"Give it to me?" Seeing Liang Xiao's slightly nervous expression, Ye Ji'an couldn't help laughing. He thought this little thing looked round and chubby, and it should be easier to touch than Max, so he held up the glass box Look carefully, "I don't have much energy."

"It's too cold outside, it's not used to it yet," Liang Xiao also raised his hand, and lightly touched the glass with his red fingertips, the lizard opened its mouth, and stretched out its blue tongue at him like a demonstration, Liang Xiao laughed, "The housekeeper just sent me over from the airport, and the car drove me, but I laid out these flowers myself just now."

Ye Ji'an was indeed taken aback by the word "housekeeper", but after thinking about it, why should he be surprised? My family has always been such a young master who is praised by others. As for why it was a gift from the airport ——I am afraid that it is not such a precious living thing, so I specially sent someone to escort it across the ocean.He gently put the small pine cone that had been blown and frozen back into the trunk, touched Liang Xiao's equally cold face, and looked into his eyes, "I like it very much."

"Let's call it Engels." He said again.

Liang Xiaohu blinked his eyelashes, and said excitedly: "This breed and color are super hard to buy, and it's also hard to raise. I've been waiting in line for more than three years, waiting for the day when my one will be bred by the mother, hatched, and have a physical examination by the seniors." , it was finally born, and at that time I was thinking, if I can be with my predecessors, I will give it to you.” Like the past when talking about reptiles, Liang Xiao has his own small sparkling world, immersing himself in it He looked so happy and innocent, Ye Ji'an always wanted to kiss him, but he was just downstairs in his company, so he could only endure it for now.

He held Liang Xiao's hand, squeezed it hard, and the faint scent of flowers floated in the cold wind, like crisp and sweet rock candy, "So can I say it is the crystallization of our love?"

Liang Xiao turned his face away, "Don't...it's disgusting."

Ye Ji'an laughed happily, he was not funny any more, he was about to close the trunk and let Engels warm up quickly, but Liang Xiao stopped him, "There are more!" He picked up the small box next to the glass box and walked straight Stuff it into Ye Ji'an's hand.

When I opened it, it was a car key, and the car logo was a variant of L, Lexus.

"I also got the license plate number, which is parked in the basement of our house. I bought it with my own salary. I can only afford this type. The model is LS, and it is black. I think it is very suitable for commuting in the city," Liang Xiao said seriously, "I will earn more in the future, so I can buy better ones for seniors."

Ye Ji'an stood there stiffly, speechless for a long time. He knew that the cars of this brand were all imported, at least one hundred thousand yuan, which was good enough for him, but the bigger part of his speech was blocked. The reason is that Liang Xiao's words are too cute.

So he didn't know how to refuse.

"Just a Valentine's Day..." He paused, "I mean, a car is too expensive."

"This is our first Valentine's Day together, and it's a very important day."

"I know. I'm really touched that you bought it with your own salary, and I understand what you mean." Ye Ji'an leaned his head on Liang Xiao's shoulder and rubbed it, "But you only need to spend a little of it to give it to me. Just one rose is enough, let alone such a big cart of roses, and one Engels, I am already very satisfied."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just hugged him hard, and then put the car key into his coat pocket.It wasn't until the two of them got into the car and the air conditioner was blowing warmly that he said, "Did I embarrass senior by doing this?"

Ye Ji'an was taken aback, "I didn't expect that."

Liang Xiao didn't step on the gas pedal in a hurry, and there was a thinking expression in the rearview mirror, "I still can't grasp the speed, and the distance between people, I often can't remember to think differently," he seemed to be thinking carefully Phrasing, "That is, if this is stressing out seniors, I want you to forget about it."

Ye Ji Anxin said that this is not good, this is not the development I want, seeing Liang Xiao's aggrieved appearance, the Vietnamese food after waiting for so long will not taste good, "Hey, your pressure is really right , I was in a daze just now," he pressed Liang Xiao's hand, "Do you know what I'm going to give you? Such a comparison is simply impossible, I think I'm too shameful."

Liang Xiao turned to look at him, and said sullenly, "What is it?"

Ye Ji'an opened his bulging purse, and pulled out the cardboard box, "I have to see my boyfriend as an ugly gift, open it and have a look."

Liang Xiao was almost amused, but he still didn't. The deliberate solemnity was on his face. He tore open the package neatly, and his eyes lit up when he saw the Canon logo. When everything was opened, the model of the lens was revealed. Holding the box directly in his arms, "How does senior know that I don't have this?"

"It's all in the closet, I can't peek at it," Ye Ji'an glared at him with a smile, "Take more photos of me in the future, and when I become an ugly old man, you will have to rely on photos to recall how handsome I am now Chic."

Liang Xiao finally smiled, "This is for scenery."

Ye Ji'an showed his timidity, "...then use another shot!"

"Well, I have more than a dozen shots that are suitable for shooting people," he said, blinking his eyes a few times rhythmically, pointing with his fingers like a shutter, "I still need to use them to shoot."

Ye Ji'an understood the meaning, and his fingertips that were freezing cold just now warmed up. He helped Liang Xiao put the box away, "You will be an old man by then, and you can't take pictures clearly, so you can just cover some wrinkles for me."

"Senior, will you marry me? We will still be together when we become old men."

This question came so suddenly that Ye Ji'an almost thought that he was having auditory hallucinations because he had eaten too much old Shanxi vinegar in the afternoon. At this time, the stamina had not yet passed, and when Roman talked about the proposal, he was imagining it too.

Turning around, he saw Liang Xiao leaning on the backrest, looking at him intently, "I originally wanted to use the rose car when proposing, but I thought it was a bit vulgar and not solemn enough, like the kind of internet celebrity who pays attention to selling clothes." Averted his eyes in embarrassment, he looked at Ye Ji'an's hand again, and said softly, "How to propose a marriage proposal, how to wear the ring, I haven't figured it out yet, but it's too early now, I will give senior one surprise."

The night had completely descended, and the flowing lights reflected on Liang Xiao's face, which was warm orange.Ye Ji'an focused his gaze so that he could see the orange clearly, and when he stretched out his hand, he could also touch the orange.This is real, not an illusion.

It's the vinegar smell... it dissipates with a few swipes.Ye Ji'an understood that it was a fake.

"Senior?" Liang Xiao seemed a little confused by his silence.

"Hey, why can't I beg? Because I was raped? But I'm still old?" Ye Ji'an frowned and pinched his face.

Liang Xiao stared wide-eyed, and suddenly smiled, "Don't fight me! If senior is one step ahead of me, I won't agree."

Ye Ji'an said he was at a loss for such a scoundrel's speech, but then he had a flash of inspiration, "Well, let's use the car as a wedding gift. When the time and place are right, Mrs. Ben Liang will drive it to Chang'an Avenue every day." , and take Mr. Liang to and from get off work by the way."

"—As long as you don't get stuck on the Fifth Ring Road." Liang Xiao came to his senses, pulled off his seat belt, and hugged Ye Ji'an tightly.Ye Ji'an just laughed, wrapped his arms around his neck, and the two of them kissed together, and they almost missed each other, but they still didn't want to separate.

If that dinner is evaluated objectively, it can only be said that it has no merit or fault, and it did not meet Ye Ji'an's expectations overall. However, Liang Xiao, a picky master, enjoyed the meal quite a bit. He even drank a lot of plum wine and stuck to Ye Ji'an and him. drink together.The flower-scented Xiaobu parked outside, so there was nothing to worry about. The butler had already arranged for his young master to drive him. As for the sports car, there were only two seats. What should the two of them do after drinking? Having wronged his young master, a Land Rover stood guard outside until nearly eleven o'clock. Ye Ji'an supported Liang Xiao and came out of the restaurant.

"Hello, my name is Feng." Seeing that Liang Xiao had sat down obediently in the back seat, the butler went to shake hands with Ye Ji'an again.

Ye Ji'an was really a little apprehensive, a middle-aged man with a serious face, neat clothes and gray hair, really fit the image of a housekeeper.This should be the closest person he has ever seen to Liang Xiao besides Hu's mother. He was afraid that he would leave a bad impression on others, so he put on a professional attitude at work, "Hi, how are you?" Sorry for being late."

"It should be," Steward Feng shook his wrist vigorously, and suddenly smiled, and went to open the door for Ye Ji'an, "Xiao Xiao often mentioned you to us, and finally saw the deity!"

After quite a long drive, Ye Ji'an noticed that this person was sitting in the co-pilot, always looking towards him intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was observing, while Liang Xiao kept his eyes on his face and hugged him, Rubbing like a small animal, "Uncle Feng, I really like him. You go back and tell my dad. Don't forget to tell me about it. I like him very, very much."

Steward Feng smiled wrinkled eyes, and hey hey agreed.

Ye Ji'an felt that his face was going to explode, and he hugged the guy who was hugging him like he was hugging a kitten.

Of course, when Engels was settled at home and his clothes were taken off, the cat turned into a tiger.Of course, Ye Ji'an was not unprepared. To be precise, he was also very hungry. After the Spring Festival holiday, this was the first time he did it, and he was stimulated again in the afternoon. Xiao swallowed it whole, and it was the first time he found that he was so good at holding a grudge.

The two went from the bathroom to the living room, then to the dining table, and then rolled on the bed. In the end, Ye Ji'an straddled Liang Xiao and twisted his waist, and almost passed out. In an instant, he lay down and hugged Liang Xiao into his ribs, still thinking, you are mine, and from now on, you will always be.

The result of indulgence is misery the next morning.Ye Ji'an got up 15 minutes earlier as usual, put on his shirt to make a sandwich, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the thorns in his chest were uncomfortable, so he put down the half-cut tomato, ran to the toilet next to him, opened his clothes and faced him. Look in the mirror.

The poor two nipples were already swollen, showing a fragile red color, as if the skin was about to break at any time.

How does this stand up to shirt wear?Besides, according to Liang Xiao, his tattoo can show through occasionally, so what if someone sees it?

Ye Ji'an took a deep breath, took two band-aids to himself as if resigned to his fate, and smoothed the stickers on his nipples in front of the mirror.

He was next to Ye Ji'an, his eyes were staring straight, and he didn't make a sound, even if he was helping Ye Ji'an fasten his buttons, he still wanted to hug him.

"I'm going to be late...!" Ye Ji'an got out and continued making sandwiches. To be honest, he was reminding himself.Because he was just caught in that pair of arms, he even had the idea of ​​asking for leave and not going to work.

This is too dangerous.

Fortunately, they caught up with the extreme subway, and if they were late, they would be doomed to miss the morning run.That morning's work was pretty smooth, of course, except that Ye Ji'an was uncomfortable with the two pieces on his chest and had to hold back his weird idea of ​​going to the toilet to adjust.

A few minutes before the lunch break, he took two drops of eye drops, and looked out of the glass wall with bright eyes, of course to see Liang Xiao.I saw that person surrounded by several colleagues, both men and women, and the conversation didn't look like work, but the side face seemed to be frowning, nodding slightly, a little unhappy.Maybe it's the team building the next day?Who can be happy walking through a storm, and Ye Ji'an didn't take it too seriously.

For lunch, the two of them ate Xinjiang hand-picked rice two streets away. Liang Xiao also looked normal, staring at him fixedly, and asked him maliciously if he needed a new Band-Aid, saying that he had brought replacements. Ye Ji'an was so angry that he ate four skewers of red willow meat.

In the afternoon, Liang Xiao disappeared for a while. For about half an hour, Ye Ji'an didn't remember any work that he had to go out to work, but maybe he was called by some leader to chat. As a newcomer, there are many chores.At about 03:30, Liang Xiao came back with a file bag and sat on the desk for a while. About half an hour later, Ye Ji'an received his newly completed report in his mailbox. He was browsing through it when the door knocked , it was Liang Xiao who came in.

Ye Ji'an looked at the brown paper bag in his hand, "Did it come out? I don't think there is anything to change, just put it on the corner of the table."

"No." Liang Xiao smiled and handed the paper bag in front of his eyes, "Senior, open it now and have a look, it's urgent."

Ye Ji'an took it and took a closer look. There was nothing on the surface of the paper bag, let alone the stamp of the urgent document. He raised his eyelids and looked at Liang Xiao suspiciously. look.

Inside are two pieces of manuscript paper printed with the group logo, which feels smooth to the touch.

The paper was placed upside down. He opened the bag seal and pulled out a section, just in time to see the inscription, which was still written in a brush. The date was today, and above the date was a name and a seal.

Under the vermilion seal script, three bold cursive characters can be vaguely recognized: Chu Yunfei.

Ye Ji'an squeezed the foot of the page tightly, and didn't dare to continue pumping. He opened his mouth stupidly and looked at Liang Xiao.

He has only seen this signature twice on very few occasions, and the projects he usually does are basically untouchable.

That was the name of his big boss.
