from my heart [last days]

The meeting went on for more than five hours, with high-intensity and high-density narration, and I felt tired just listening to it, not to mention Xie Congxin, who stood the whole time without even taking a few sips of water.

But the body was exhausted, but the spirit was very high. On the way back to the car, the young assistants talked loudly about Xie Congxin's performance. The more they talked, the more excited they became.

This is the last day of 2028, there is moderate snowfall, and the streets are obviously as depressed as ever, but tomorrow is the New Year, so it is somewhat different.

Tomorrow morning the first batch of newspapers will be printed and distributed to all survivors in Beijing and several surrounding cities.

This is the first step they have officially taken against natural disasters, and it will become a milestone in human history. From then on, a new prelude will be opened, and everything will gradually get better.

The research institute had a New Year's holiday that day, and everyone gathered in the cafeteria of the hotel where they lived, and had a small celebration party.

It is said to be small, but there are a lot of people. From everyone in the research institute to all the employees in the hotel, there are five tables in the entire restaurant. Xie Congxin is naturally the protagonist. Su Shiqing and Mr. Liu each have a drink with him, and then a few assistants , booed him to drink, Xie Congxin was in a good mood, so he got used to their troubles, and even drank several cups.

He is not bad at drinking, and it is not a problem to drink a few sips of red wine, but Pei Ze is afraid that he will not feel well if he drinks too much, so he blocks everything after that. Some assistants are drunk and make fun of them with their tongues. Xie Congxin watched with a smile Pei Ze glanced at the assistant and said, "He will drink my wine, there is no problem."

The assistants collectively dragged out a long voice "Oh—" and Xie Congxin just smiled, as if acquiescing to their relationship, wearing a decent shirt, leaning on the chair and tilting his head, in the noisy background, as beautiful as A quiet oil painting.

Pei Ze sat beside Xie Congxin, found his hand under the table, interlocked his fingers, and heard the assistant holding the wine bottle and chattering: "Captain Pei's military uniform is so handsome! When you saluted, I almost cried Already!"

"It's very handsome." Xie Congxin turned his head to look at him, his eyes and expression made Pei Ze very, very wanting to kiss him.

Someone may have noticed the pair of cuff buttons under their left sleeves and their handshake, but everyone tacitly said nothing.

He pinched Pei Ze's palm, and Pei Ze leaned a little closer to Xie Congxin's side, bowing his head next to Xie Congxin's ear, as if he wanted to exchange some secret words with him, where other people couldn't see, his lips were thanking him. Gently touch the pinna of the heart.

Xie Congxin smiled deeper.

Until Cheng Yinshang and Peng He came to toast, Peng He had completely become Xie Congxin's fanboy after the morning, covering his heart with admiration, praising Xie Congxin for being so handsome, holding the microphone but showing the momentum of holding a gun , and so on, Xie Congxin was so embarrassingly boasted to the sky, Cheng Yinshang interrupted him with a smile, and said: "This cup between me and Peng Peng, the captain and Academician Xie have to drink together."

Xie Congxin had everything he wanted, and was about to toast, but Pei Ze was one step ahead of him, pouring the wine in his glass into his own, leaving only a thin sip, and said to Cheng Yinshang and Peng He who didn't know what happened: " Thanks."

Peng He didn't know what he was thanking at all. He didn't realize it until he finished drinking and was pulled away by Cheng Yinshang. He let out a loud cry, and everyone looked at him. He couldn't restrain himself, and jumped three feet high on the spot. , turned his head and punched Pei Ze, and smiled with dazzling white teeth.

Pei Ze glanced at him, and when he looked away, seeing Xie Congxin squinting at him, he picked up a chopstick for him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Congxin pointed to the corner of his mouth: "Captain Pei, be more reserved, they are all looking at you."

Pei Ze paused, raised his head and scanned for a week, and sure enough, he caught a few eyes. It was the young female assistants in the research institute. As soon as they saw him looking over, they immediately looked away, blushing and whispering, but they didn't know it was what are you talking about.

Xie Congxin glanced at them quietly and said, "Don't laugh in front of others from now on."

The jealousy was so serious that it didn't look like he was joking at all. Pei Ze couldn't help it, and the corners of his mouth raised even higher. Seeing Xie Congxin glaring at him, he whispered, "Only today."

"Not today," Xie Congxin said seriously, "I'll give you a minute."

Pei Ze only took 20 seconds because Yan Shen came over to toast.

"Congxin, today is great." He smiled, turned his wine glass to Xie Congxin, and bluntly ignored Pei Ze who was beside him.

"Thank you." Xie Congxin let go of Pei Ze's hand, poured himself a sip, and finished it in one gulp.

"So little?" Yan Shen said with a smile, "I want to have at least one drink with me, right?"

Xie Congxin shook his head on the chair: "You know I don't like drinking."

But you haven't stopped since today... Yan Shen took a deep breath, and finally looked away at Pei Ze: "Captain Pei, would you mind chatting?"

Pei Ze was not familiar with Yan Shen, but since he was with Xie Congxin, he would have to face these sooner or later.He nodded, and was about to get up from the chair, but Xie Congxin held him down, looked at Yan Shen and said, "It's Chinese New Year today, let's talk about things tomorrow."

"It's just for a chat," Yan Shen laughed again, "Don't be so nervous, he is a man, and he still needs you to protect him?"

"..."

It's not to protect Pei Ze.

He thinks that he is free to fall in love with anyone, and there is no need to explain to anyone, but if Yan Shen wants to hear it, he can of course explain it to him, but not today.

The good mood stopped here, Xie Congxin was about to raise his hand to rub his forehead, which was swollen after drinking, when Pei Ze held his hand back.

Xie Congxin looked back at him, Pei Ze put the cooled small bowl of chicken soup in front of him, and said, "Don't drink, I'll be back soon."

"……"never mind.

Xie Congxin waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Yan Shen didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't want to explain, after all, both of them are well-measured people, so they wouldn't embarrass each other in this kind of situation, so what should he worry about.

Pei Ze and Yan Shen went to the small terrace outside the restaurant.

The winter night is cold, the heat from the exhalation turns into white mist and dissipates in a blink of an eye. There is a canopy on the small terrace, and the snow is falling outside, wrapping the big city of Beijing in silver. As soon as the cigarette case was handed over to Pei Ze, Pei Ze refused: "No need."

Yan Shen smiled, took out one and lit it, and bit it in his mouth, "Congxin doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, and I don't smoke much."

Pei Ze heard hostility from this specious sentence, Yan Shen was telling him that he knew Xie Congxin far better than him, and he had done more for Xie Congxin than he did.

He stood one step away from Yan Shen, watching the little fire flickering in the occasional light snow, he didn't want to tell Yan Shen that when Xie Congxin was on the road, he would smoke one occasionally.

"Are you two together?" Yan Shen raised his neck, leaning his arms behind the white balcony railing, regardless of whether the high-end suit would get wet, "Do you like him?"

I like it very much, but Pei Ze is not the kind of person who would tell others like this——

"You are very lucky." Yan Shen smiled, "You are not the same kind of people at all. If it wasn't for the meteorite falling, you would never have known each other in this life. Do you know what kind of life Cong Xin lived before?"

Yes, he was very lucky, Yan Shen was right.

Pei Ze would occasionally think that without the meteorite rain, he and Xie Congxin would never have met. Xie Congxin lived in a world completely different from his, at the upper reaches of society, where everyone was watching and shining brightly.

The probability of one in ten million is infinitely close to zero, how lucky he is to have Xie Congxin.

"I don't mean to look down on Captain Pei," Yan Shen took a puff of smoke, "but can you give him that kind of life?"

I can't give it, but Xie Congxin doesn't need him to give it.Pei Ze suddenly realized at this moment that Yan Shen didn't really understand Xie Congxin, what he thought was just the 'Xie Congxin' in his imagination.

Xie Congxin is capable enough, he can get what he wants by himself, and he doesn't need to depend on anyone to live.

"What can you give him?" Yan Shen said again, "He needs you on the way back from Chongcheng, even if he likes you now, what about in the future? To put it bluntly, won't it be boring to be with you from the heart? "

"..." Pei Ze paused slightly.

Yan Shen thought he was shaken, but Pei Ze spoke in a deep and slow voice: "I don't know his past, but I will know his future."

The soot fell into the accumulated thin snow, Yan Shen looked at Pei Ze's deep pupils, and felt extremely serious in his eyes.

He said: "Everything I have, I can give him."

Pei Ze came back alone.

Xie Congxin leaned on the chair, eyes half closed, and asked him, "Where's Yan Shen?"

"I'm going back." Pei Ze glanced at his bowl. He drank most of the chicken soup, and there was still some left. "Can't eat anymore?"

"Well," Xie Congxin said, pressing his temples, "I'm tired."

It's been fifteen hours since I woke up before four o'clock in the morning. Of course I'm going to be tired. Pei Ze just came back from the outside and he was still cold, so he didn't touch him, "Can you stand up?"

Xie Congxin glanced at him sideways, and stood up while leaning on the armrest.

Fortunately, most of the celebration banquet was held, Su Shiqing, Liu Lao and other older people left early, and the rest were young people. Xie Congxin wanted to leave, and the assistants couldn't stop him of course.

Pei Ze walked out of the restaurant with him. He walked well all the way, turned a corner and was out of sight by everyone, but suddenly he hooked his arms around Pei Ze's neck, and put all his weight on Pei Ze's body like a boneless one. Biting his ear, he said, "I can't walk anymore, hug me up."

"..."

Probably no one would have guessed that the well-known academician Xie was strong and sharp in front of outsiders, and he was not sloppy at all when he acted coquettishly.

Pei Ze had no choice but to hug him horizontally, and Xie Congxin leaned on his shoulder, unscrupulously pouring all the heat from drinking on his neck. When Pei Ze pressed the elevator, he reached out to touch Pei Ze's Adam's apple under the collar of his shirt.

Pei Zeteng didn't make a move to stop him from making trouble, so he could only look at him deeply, but Xie Congxin laughed, and closed his eyes to make excuses for himself: "Drink too much, I'm dizzy."

"..."

The elevator came with a ding, and Pei Ze hugged him in. Xie Congxin straightened his back a little, and touched his dry and warm lips with his fingers, "What did you say to Yan Shen?"

"It's nothing." Pei Ze didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake drunk, and endured his teasing and pressed the floor button.

As soon as the door was closed, Xie Congxin became even more serious. He put his earlobe in his mouth and said vaguely: "It smells like smoke, have you smoked?"

"No, it's not me." Pei Ze lifted him up.

"Oh——" Xie Congxin leaned on his shoulder and smiled, "Aren't you going to kiss me?"

"..."

The door of the room was kicked shut with a bang, Pei Ze pushed Xie Congxin against the door panel, protected the back of his head and kissed him deeply, the desire that had endured for a whole day exploded, the smell of red wine filled his mouth, it was not unpleasant, and a kiss was better than wine To be intoxicating, the saliva overflowing from the tangled tongue is also fatally tempting. Pei Ze licked it all away, making his lips moist and red, as bright as those eyes.

When they parted, Xie Congxin picked his chin and asked, "Have you ever liked a man before?"

"No," Pei Ze kissed his fingertips, "nor are there women, you are the first."

Xie Congxin laughed, like a reward, he put his fingertips into his lips and touched the tip of his tongue, with a sense of invitation that didn't need to be explained, "It will be the last one, too."

The only remaining reason prompted Pei Ze to grab his hand: "Aren't you tired?"

"Tired," Xie Congxin said, "so I want you to move."

The beautiful eyes narrowed slightly like a fox, Pei Ze almost drowned in his slightly cunning little complacency.

The steam in the bathroom was steaming, forming a small world isolated from the world. Pei Ze held Xie Congxin's hand that was pressed on the tiles, kneaded the bones of the hand and the palm of his hand repeatedly, and then fastened them tightly. Xie Congxin stroked his hair and let out small whimpers. Pei Ze licked the scar on his left shoulder and bit it with his teeth.

Xie Congxin trembled slightly, and gradually relaxed his body.

It was really uncomfortable at first, his body was so painful that it was torn apart, Xie Congxin bit his lip and refused to cry out the pain, Pei Ze had to stop to comfort him, let out his white lower lip, and held it in his mouth to comfort him repeatedly , until Xie Congxin bit him hard.

But Pei Ze didn't let go, instead he hooked the corners of his lips, lowered his waist and moved slowly, Xie Congxin relaxed, and had no more energy to torture others.

Yan Shen said that Xie Congxin would be boring with him.

But who is interesting, who is not interesting, life is a very boring journey, born with countless responsibilities and obligations, but enjoyment of rights always comes with many restrictions, the social system suppresses personal growth, and most dreams die in the face of reality.

Xie Congxin was with him, and it might indeed be boring for a certain moment in the future, but at least for the moment, the strength they drew from each other was enough to fight against this huge world.He will try his best to love him until he dies, or Xie Congxin no longer needs him. It has nothing to do with wealth, family, or daily necessities in life. It is only about the complementarity of two souls. What you can have here is beyond the trivial feelings of reality.

Everything Xie Congxin wanted from him, he would give him.

At twelve o'clock, the New Year's bell rang into the bedroom through the wind and snow, Xie Congxin called him: "Pei Ze..."

Pei Ze thought he was going to say something, so he stopped, raised his head to kiss him, and told him with his movements: I am here.

"Happy New Year, Captain Pei," Xie Congxin sat on him, biting his lips repeatedly, the alcohol hadn't dissipated, and the words he said were rare and naive, "...it's been a year..."

At this time, there are some things that I really can't say, and Pei Ze's sudden movement changed the sound of the last word, making a lingering arc.

"One year is not enough..." Pei Ze hugged him and lay down on the soft bed, even though his body was a mess, the act of kissing his forehead had nothing to do with lust.

He said: "There is still a lifetime, happy new year."

The ringing of the bell outside stopped, and the old year was said goodbye to the new year. Time moved forward slowly, the sun rose and the moon set still, and the earth circled the sun again.

In 2029, everything will get better and better.
