Good Night, Liang Xiao

The list of the spring recruiting team was notified quickly and sent to the mailboxes of the heads of various departments. .

He wasn't surprised, when Liang Xiao talked about it expectantly, he almost guessed the result.Looking at it from another perspective, Liang Xiao is young, has experience studying abroad, and has excellent foreign language skills. He is indeed suitable for this job. As a supervisor, there are many vacancies in the department this year, so it is not unreasonable to check in the past.

The line starts from Massachusetts, goes south through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, goes around a circle and then goes north. The last stop is New York. It starts in early April and is planned to last for three weeks.

For someone like him who has business trips for at least three months a year, staying outside for more than ten days is not a big deal, but the preparation work in the early stage is more troublesome. It's all covered, but Ye Ji'an has to explain clearly the ongoing work in the department, so that when he goes out, his deputy is not sure about what happens, and his old den becomes a mess.

At the same time, it was not easy to pack the luggage. Ye Ji'an set aside three nights to do this, but Liang Xiao was very open-minded. He was going to buy something if he was short of something. He looked chic and ready to go with his bag on his back, but Ye Ji'an refused. He took a standing iron and ironed more than 20 shirts, seven or eight suits, and a dozen ties in a row, half of which belonged to him and half belonged to Liang Xiao, and then stacked them one by one and put them away neatly Carry on the suitcase.

"I may be a bit obsessive-compulsive." He pinched the fat waist of his pajamas and showed his achievements to Liang Xiao who had just taken a shower. "Otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"Then I'll go shine the shoes." Liang Xiao volunteered.

"You'd better go to sleep." Ye Ji'an hugged him and fell on the bed. The two faced each other and played together. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The day before departure, Ye Ji'an held a short meeting at five o'clock as usual, and no overtime was arranged. Everyone happily packed up their things and went home for the Qingming holiday. The general manager was looking for newcomers to chat with one by one recently. , before he came back, Ye Ji'an was waiting for him in the office.

At around [-]:[-], he received a text message: I have been working in Beijing for the past two days, and the hotel is in the center of Hong Kong and Macau, diagonally opposite to your company.Do you have time to meet up?

Sender: Ye Zhihong.

Seeing his younger brother's name, Ye Ji'an was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he replied: I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I'm only free tonight. I'll be in the coffee shop downstairs at six o'clock.

Ye Zhihong: OK.

Ye Ji'an exited the interface, and sent another message to Liang Xiao: My younger brother is here for some business, he may need to chat with me, if you don't see me when you come back, I'll stay in the coffee shop downstairs.

Liang Xiao didn't reply, and he was probably still being forced to have a long talk with the chatterbox general manager to receive indoctrination. Ye Ji'an arranged his hair and neckline according to the glass wall, put on his leather bag, and went downstairs without hesitation.

He didn't tell Liang Xiao, "Find me when the time comes", but he didn't say he couldn't, because he thought it was up to Liang Xiao to choose. Ye Ji'an didn't know Liang Xiao's thoughts on whether to meet his brother, so he decided I don't want him to be in a passive position.

In fact, Ye Ji'an was going to make a quick decision. He and Ye Zhihong had nothing to say, and there was no need to eat together. He wanted to go to the newly opened Cantonese restaurant with Liang Xiao.

When he swiped his card from the turnstile and walked through the hall, he saw that Ye Zhihong had already arrived, picked a booth by the window, and was waiting for him.

They haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and they can only know the changes in each other's appearance from the photos. After the two greeted each other, they kept silent on both sides of the table and spent at least dozens of seconds observing each other.

"Are you still so busy?" Ye Zhihong broke the silence and poured fruit tea for Ye Ji'an.

"It's okay." Ye Ji'an took a sip, it was too sweet and tasted like Lipton.

The two chatted casually. When it came to the unit's vacation, the parents' health, and the children's education, Ye Zhihong didn't seem to have any urgent matters. Maybe it's just that after so many years, everything has faded. Including his contempt for Ye Ji'an.When he arrived at the door, he remembered that he still had an older brother, and began to wonder again, whether it was necessary for everyone to meet that way.

However, most of the time, Ye Ji'an just listened and didn't feel anything in his heart. Until later, Ye Zhihong asked him: "Are you with me? Or alone?"

"Haha, no," Ye Ji'an put down his phone, Liang Xiao just replied and said "Got it", it was almost 06:30, he looked up at his brother again, "I'm with my colleague. "

Ye Zhihong was slightly surprised, "How old are you?"

"27, still looks young," Ye Ji'an smiled, "I'm under a lot of pressure."

Ye Zhihong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then you have to pay attention. Take it home and show it to your parents when you have time."

Ye Ji'an confirmed that he heard correctly, but, this is obviously the master who is not willing to send money to go back, and he wished that there was no one like him in the family. "Hey, are you serious?" Still in a joking tone.

"They all really want to see you," Ye Zhihong lowered his head, looking at his folded hands on the table, "I was the one who messed up during the Chinese New Year, old man, I don't know when you will be gone, you If you're free, I'd better bring yours back, so they can rest assured."

Ye Ji'an didn't agree, didn't say anything, just drank tea silently.

He didn't want to accuse anyone of hypocrisy or argue with anyone, just a lack of enthusiasm.Everyone has the mentality of showing off. For example, he is doing well now. For example, he has Liang Xiao. Of course, he wants to show it to the world. He also feels that he has the responsibility to visit his parents before they pass away. The city where I grew up, the compound where I grew up, the family building...

Ye Ji'an still drank tea.

Ye Zhihong's expression became more and more embarrassed, "Think about it carefully, is this the truth?"

Ye Ji'an squinted his eyes. He didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he felt that he should say something. As soon as he opened his mouth, someone called him, "Senior!" Immediately afterwards, Liang Xiao walked over quickly and stood beside the tea table.

"After talking for about fifty minutes, the general manager is really good enough." Ye Ji'an glanced at his watch and gave up the seat next to him.

Liang Xiao sat down in no hurry, "Hi, my name is Liang." He leaned over and shook hands with the other side of the table.

Ye Zhihong stood up, his legs were not straight, he shook his wrist casually, and then let go, "Your colleague?"

"Well, the 27-year-old." Ye Ji'an lost the desire to speak again, and directly carried his bag and stood beside Liang Xiao, "We have to go, the restaurant reservation will be canceled automatically if we are half an hour late."

He also took Liang Xiao's hand, "I will think carefully about going back. I will definitely be with him when the time comes."

Ye Zhihong was dumbfounded.

They said goodbye to each other afterwards, still rusty and polite.But there's some progress, right?Or progress.Ye Ji'an and Liang Xiao walked side by side on the zebra crossing, there was only a trace of the setting sun, and the scent of locust trees wafted in the tail, sometimes thick and sometimes faint, and there were also poplar catkins flying. He thought this way, in the past, it was like "home" never came out Invitation, I am not someone who would seriously consider going home.

They were nearly late for their flight the next day.Ye Ji'an was annoyed at himself for not being able to hear the alarm clock. The Fifth Ring Road was particularly congested on the first day of the holiday. Fortunately, Liang Xiao's Xiaobu was able to keep up with him, so he dumped it in the parking lot at the airport and handed it over to the housekeeper. Driving back, the two of them hurried to the seat. After all the formalities were completed, they sat on the seat 5 minutes before the end of the boarding time.

They were all first class, Ye Ji'an sat here according to the regulations, and Liang Xiao asked Xiao Li to make up the money in advance.There were no people in the surrounding seats, only the stewardess came up to greet her, and there was no one queuing up at the boarding gate just now. At that time, he attributed this to the fact that he arrived too late, and everyone else had already gone up.At this time, Ye Ji'an thought about it again, it is not surprising that there is no one in this cabin, and the team members of other departments are not on this flight. At this point in time, Beijing to Boston is not a popular route, and the direct flight ticket is expensive, and the first class cabin It has never sold out.But isn't it better?The small number of people just makes it easier to do other things, just like a special plane, even if he is always hugged and clingy by Liang Xiao, he will not have any worries.

After all, the voyage of at least thirteen hours, just for work and sleep, would be too miserable.

After taking off, Liang Xiao asked for a blanket to cover Ye Ji'an's lap, while he concentrated on typing on the keyboard.Ye Ji'an blatantly peeked at the screen from the side, seeing that other people were working, he was too embarrassed to touch the fish, and browsed through the bad debts dumped by the planning department.For some reason, he vaguely felt that Liang Xiao was happy, but this person always refused to laugh, and just looked at the screen calmly, shaking Ye Ji'an's guess again.

A few minutes passed, ten minutes passed, Ye Ji'an felt more and more weird in his heart, he kept wanting to turn his head, to see Liang Xiao's protruding eye corners, and the flickering eyelashes from time to time.The plane is so quiet. Even if there is a distance from the cabin at the back, there is only a door curtain in the middle, so how can there be no noise?

Get up and go to the bathroom, as long as you open the curtain, you can see the situation behind, Ye Ji'an intends to go over to find out.Liang Xiao raised his face to look at him, just squeezed his hand, and let him go. Ye Ji'an stuffed his pockets and walked through the corridor—business class, empty.

I walked over again and came to the economy class, but there was still no one there.

really.

Sure enough what?Terrorist flight?How can this be.

Ye Ji'an told himself that something big is about to happen, the thing that you guessed sometimes but didn't dare to think about it, maybe it's about to happen.It should be estimated with the principle of risk control... No, how can this be estimated. He went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, washed his hands, fumbled in his trouser pocket, and pushed the door out.

Among the empty seats, Liang Xiao was standing in the corridor, waiting for him as expected.

"I have booked this plane," he walked towards Ye Ji'an calmly, and explained in a slow voice, "Because I have to do important things... so I don't want to be disturbed. I also know that I don't need to say, senior will definitely will find out."

"What's the matter?" Ye Ji'an smiled, with wet drops of water on his hands, he even felt that he could pinch his own pulse, so he stayed there, the transition between the two areas, next to the escape route, all the time. in front of the porthole.

Liang Xiao stood still in front of him: "I want to propose to you."

He raised his hand, holding a small velvet box in the palm of his hand, the elegant crab shell green, containing a crushed snow.

Ye Ji'an held his breath.

"Senior, brother," Liang Xiao watched him carefully, with a calm voice, "You are willing to spend the rest of your life with me, love me, and accept my love..."

"Will you be my bride?"

Ye Ji'an took a breath and almost cried out.He said in his heart that it was over, but in fact, he had prepared before he noticed the strangeness, or earlier, from the first time they mentioned marriage and forever.But his heartbeat is still too fast now, even more outrageous than the heartbeat caused by excessive espresso. It can only be said that the impact is much greater than expected, and he is really afraid that he can't even speak well.Trying to appear calm and reliable, Ye Ji'an stretched out his left hand and spread his five fingers, "I am willing, of course I am willing," the voice trembled, "Come on!"

Liang Xiao pinched the small ring, blushed, and looked worried, "By the way, I'm going to kneel on one knee—"

"Don't!" Ye Ji'an grabbed his wrist, aimed at himself, and poked his fingertips in, "The remaining part, you help me wear it."

Liang Xiao looked at it deeply, and did it honestly. The size of the ring was just right. He held it and rubbed it cherishingly at the root of Ye Ji'an's finger. At the center of gravity, the two of them leaned against the wall by the porthole together, but lowered their other hand and took it out of their trouser pockets.

"Close your eyes," he said.

"Senior?" Liang Xiao looked over suspiciously, as if dissatisfied with being interrupted.

"Close it first, if I say open it, then open it." Ye Ji'an clasped his five fingers, then arched the tip of his nose, and seeing that the person finally closed his eyelids obediently, he took out the things in his pocket and grabbed them. Hold Liang Xiao's finger, and put it on lightly.

The size is also suitable.

He heard the sudden shortness of breath in his ears, but Liang Xiao still closed his eyes.

"Okay, you can open it." Ye Ji'an put his right hand down, supported his palm with the heel of his palm, and rested his left hand on it, interlaced fingers with him, and held it all the way to his eyes. Liang Xiao's first gaze Just cast it on the ring fingers of the two people who are close together.

The broken snow turned into two.

"Fortunately, I'm still worried that you'll make me look too shabby with the kind of pigeon eggs that the local rich in Saudi Arabia like." Ye Ji'an breathed a sigh of relief, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the lover who had just exchanged rings.

Liang Xiao was still a little dazed, ecstatic and at a loss for words, he hugged him tightly and said, "I didn't expect... I thought it was a surprise?"

"It's a surprise, I almost cried just now..." Ye Ji'an buried his face in his neck, rubbed against his throat, and said logically, "But do you remember, tell me, if I You won’t agree if you come first, but when I think about it, there is usually only one engagement ring. What will you wear then? How can it be empty? Especially recently, I always have that kind of premonition, walking on the road, you suddenly pop out Just get married, so I have to prepare in advance, such a small thing, just carry it with you, and fumble it from time to time. Now, I took it out after you, so you can't refuse. "

"If you can give me a surprise, why can't I give you?" He raised his eyelids again and looked at Liang Xiao intently.

Liang Xiao smiled so tenderly, his dark eyes were rippling, but he didn't speak, just tightened his waist, cupped his cheek, and kissed him delicately.The lingering just now continued, the bodies were close together, the brand new ring was rubbing gently on the cheek, Ye Ji'an hugged him back, thirsty, absent-minded, crazy, all of them were there, the kiss was getting more and more fierce, or he was getting carried away, Ye Ji'an's His breathing also gradually lost his rhythm. The thousand-meter altitude made him dizzy, and the man in front of him was even more dizzy. He leaned his body completely on Liang Xiao's body, with his back to the porthole, and outside was the howling wind, thin clouds, Exotic night.

"Senior left just now, and I followed. When I saw you here, I knew that I had to ask you seriously at this second." Liang Xiao gave a little chance to catch his breath, "Do you still remember this place?" ? On the plane, in the connecting area, in front of the escape door—”

"Well, I remember, I remember all of them," Ye Ji'an talked to him close to the corner of his lips, his voice was as soft as a secret, and he held his hands again, and couldn't help it, maybe it was the mutual attraction between diamonds, "We kissed for the first time The place."
