[Rebirth] No relatives and no friends

On the hottest day in June, Xia Ningyuan's retirement formalities were officially completed.

Before leaving, the manager of the human resources department confirmed repeatedly: "Mr. Xia, you don't think about working for a few more years? The general manager said that as long as you are willing, you can reverse the employment for at least five years!"

Xia Ningyuan shook his head: "I've made an agreement with the family member, I will accompany him to go abroad for a few years."

Qi's father had already handed over the business to Qi Xiaoyun's half-brother, he was bored every day, and would call Qi Xiaoyun whenever he had something to do.

People's personalities will change when they get old. People who used to be very rational now always talk about a happy reunion, and even complain childishly that Qi Xiaoyun is not filial.

Qi Xiaoyun couldn't stand the cuteness and coquettishness of his elders the most, so he signed a series of mourning clauses, one of which was to live abroad for a period of time, and now the formalities are almost done.

The minister was very regretful, and at the same time vaguely felt a kind of indescribable envy.He was once gold-plated under Xia Ningyuan's men, and he admired Xia Ningyuan very much-he obviously had many opportunities to be promoted to a higher position and even received many invitations from headhunting companies, but he was trapped in a technology with no oil and water for decades. Department, what's even more rare is that they did a very good job... Just a month ago, the project team chaired by Xia Ningyuan won an innovation award in the communication industry.

But, he had heard that Xia Ningyuan's family had a tall and high-ranking wife, and they were all friends with international friends. Although there was no actual evidence, there was nothing wrong with it, and it was serious to go home early and tie his wife tightly...

Of course, Xia Ningyuan doesn't need to be so nervous if he wants to say, women age quickly, Xia Ningyuan looks like 50 years old now, with lush hair, straight back, and the few wrinkles on his face are the symbol of a mature man, such a handsome man It's okay for a man to be a godfather, not to mention a godfather!

Xia Ningyuan looked at the various complex expressions of the manager, and with a feeling of relief or loss, he slowly glanced at the office that was similar to his own department, waved his hands unconsciously, and stepped on a slightly heavier pace than usual left.

After working for many years, he gradually began to understand the general meaning of other people's facial expressions.He vaguely knew that the minister felt sorry for him, but he didn't feel that there was anything to regret.

After being reborn, I have witnessed the innovation of communication technology for ten years. What this industry needs is a little bit of acumen and the right direction. As long as we go down this road, it will not be too bad.

He has self-knowledge, those entertainments and business talks are really not suitable for him, and the right way is to do his job honestly.As for retirement, he thought very clearly, after all these years, he should move his position to someone else.

What's more, he is really old, and he wants to spend more time with Qi Xiaoyun in the remaining time.If it wasn't for the right time to go abroad, he would rather retire early than let Qi Xiaoyun go abroad alone.

Thinking of Qi Xiaoyun, Xia Ningyuan felt warmth in his heart, and his steps became much lighter.

Before returning home, Xia Ningyuan habitually didn't use the key, but rang the doorbell and smiled at the video window: "Xiaoyun, I'm back."

The heavy wooden door clicked lightly, and at the same time as the door opened, Qi Xiaoyun, who was still so handsome in Xia Ningyuan's eyes, smiled at him with his chubby face in his arms, and the remaining sense of confusion and loss was swept away.The free discussion world for Chinese people around the world is far from a beautiful puppet cat. Except for the eye rims and cat ear contours, which are from light to dark brown, the snow-colored hair on the rest of the body is plump and smooth, making people feel all kinds of molestation and ravages at a glance. Mood.

It joined the family ten years ago, and was Xia's mother's most worried little ancestor. He always liked to "meow" flatteringly at Xia Ningyuan with his buttocks at Qi Xiaoyun.

Now that it has also entered old age, it is usually lazy and doesn't like to move, and Xia Ningyuan seldom resists when holding it. Occasionally, when he is in a good mood, he sticks out his tongue and licks Xia Ningyuan's hand to show his favor.

Time is so inconsiderate.They have been together for nearly 30 years in a blink of an eye, every time Xia Ningyuan inadvertently thinks about it, he will feel a sense of trembling, terrified that time flies so fast, and they have no time to love each other more.

In the past 30 years, they have experienced countless joys, disputes and difficulties... They also quarreled over trivial matters in life, and they could not avoid various setbacks.And the reason why they can always be together is nothing more than: they also cherish this hard-won relationship and never break up lightly.

Mama Xia left them with a smile three years ago. She really has no regrets—two filial sons, a well-behaved and lovely grandson, and a naughty cat. They have brought a lot to her life. Surprised and moved.

For the first time, Xia Ningyuan lost his composure and wailed loudly, as if he wanted to use up all the sorrows of his life, even in his previous life, he had never felt so uncomfortable.

Qi Xiaoyun didn't try to persuade her, but shed tears along with her silently.

How lucky they are, their tolerant parents gave them a lot of love, tolerated their willfulness, and accompanied them on a thorny road that was not blessed by most people.Even if one of their relatives has left this world now, it still left enough courage for them.

In the days after Xia's mother left, Xia Ningyuan suddenly became much depressed, and remained strangely silent for a long time.However, Qi Xiaoyun gradually took the place of Xia's mother and began to take care of Xia Ningyuan's daily life.

When Xia Ningyuan came out of the grief and unexpectedly discovered that the housework and various trivial matters had been quietly transferred to Qi Xiaoyun's hands, he suddenly realized that he was so naive—Qi Xiaoyun was probably even more sad than him.

Because of work, Xia Ningyuan doesn't spend as much time at home as Qi Xiaoyun, and he can't occasionally take Xia's mother with him to travel and gather together like Qi Xiaoyun... But now he is like a child, enjoying Qi Xiaoyun's care with peace of mind.

Regarding this, Qi Xiaoyun just patted Xia Ningyuan's head, tilted his head and thought for a while, and comforted him with a smile: "Now it's my turn to take care of you."

Xia Ningyuan's tears flowed wantonly again.A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, but he doesn't reach the sad point.He was not sad, but moved beyond restraint.

His dedication has never been unilateral. In the eyes of all the uninformed and informed people, he is the one who pays the most: arrange housework, obey his orders, hardly socialize outside, and various behaviors at home that are incredible in the eyes of outsiders...

But Xia Ningyuan knew that it was because he didn't have enough sense of security. He loved Qi Xiaoyun so he willingly gave the best he could give, just to keep this person forever.But Qi Xiaoyun sacrificed all the better things he could get to fulfill his love.

His Qi Xiaoyun never talked about his contributions, but only seriously responded to every bit of his contributions. For such a lovely person, how could he not be willing to give a little more and a little more?

After so many years, Xia Ning couldn't deny that the first glance of his heart came from Qi Xiaoyun's perfect appearance, but his heart was just liking, not love.

Like will meet more like, and love is unique.

Their love was transformed from liking, and it was conceived and born in the days and nights they spent together day and night.Even if the corners of Qi Xiaoyun's eyes are wrinkled and his skin is no longer as smooth as before, he still loves her deeply.

"I love you." Xia Ning kissed Qi Xiaoyun's lips like a pious pilgrim, feeling the blending of each other's noses and breaths.At this moment, he seemed to relive the feeling of their first kiss when they were young, and it was still so beautiful that it touched the heartstrings.

"I love you too." Unexpectedly, Qi Xiaoyun, who never said love lightly, hugged Xia Ningyuan back, and responded softly but firmly.

Xia Ningyuan felt that he had no regrets in this life.

"Ning Yuan, Dami said that the plane is late, and the airport bus has just left, so he will be home later." Qi Xiaoyun squatted down and let go of Yuan Yuan, and scratched Yuan Yuan's chin with his hands. Zhong got up and took Xia Ningyuan's briefcase. "Why are you in a daze?"

Rice is a child adopted by Xia Ningyuan after ten years of class reunion, named Qi Xia.The little guy was just one year old when he was brought home, and he didn't understand anything except sucking his fingers and whining.

The baby's limp body made Xia Ningyuan and Qi Xiaoyun flustered for a while, and finally it was Xia's mother who settled the rice down.

The origin of the nickname of rice is also very interesting. He has been particularly interested in the rice in Qi Xiaoyun’s bowl since he was a child, and he likes to imitate the laser gun shooting on TV, and sprays "biubiubiu" like bullets in his mouth everywhere. yes……

Speaking of rice, Xia Ningyuan broke free from his memories and scratched his head embarrassingly: "No, I suddenly remembered something from the past..." He changed his slippers, put down his briefcase and walked back to himself Qi Xiaoyun beside him smiled, and closed the door smoothly. "I'm old... I always remember it unconsciously, and the rice has grown so big, haha."

Qi Xiaoyun took Xia Ningyuan's hand and walked towards the living room, and said with a sullen face and a slightly stiff tone, "What should I do when you're old?"

Xia Ningyuan knew that Qi Xiaoyun remembered his serious illness, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Not old, not old, we agreed to go abroad to live with my father, and Dami's music major has to go abroad for a while."

In fact, it wasn't just Qi Xiaoyun, even Xia Ningyuan was very surprised at the beginning - he was always in good health, but for some reason, after accidentally getting caught in the rain that summer, he had a low-grade fever and kept coughing.At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and only treated it as a cold, but unexpectedly it turned into pneumonia. I stayed in the hospital for nearly a month, and the blood vessels on both arms were swollen from hanging the bottle. After I was discharged from the hospital, it took a long time to recover. .

That time really frightened Qi Xiaoyun and Xia's mother. When Xia Ningyuan recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Qi Xiaoyun lost a lot of weight. Even Dami, who had just turned three years old, knew how to call Xia Ningyuan, "Daddy, don't get sick again." , Rice is afraid..."

Now that Xia's mother is gone, Rice will leave them sooner or later to live his own life, all he has left is Qi Xiaoyun...how could he be willing to make him sad?Thinking of this, Xia Ningyuan tightened Qi Xiaoyun's hand, flatteringly said: "Qi Qi?"

Qi Xiaoyun snorted softly: "Damn old man, don't act cute to me. Look at my dad, we still have at least 30 years!"

Time changes not only people's appearance, but also their habits.Although the nature is difficult to change, but I don't know where it came from, Qi Xiaoyun still has a cool face outside, but after returning home, he has learned to catch Xia Ningyuan's various education.

Xia Ningyuan chuckled, and immediately put on an appearance of humbly admitting his mistake.In fact, he didn't want to tell Qi Xiaoyun at all that he especially liked Qi Xiaoyun calling him a "dead old man". Although men like to conquer others, it's not interesting to be disciplined by one person.

The terminal of the airport bus that Qi Xia took was in the city center, not too far from home, and it was past four o'clock when he arrived home.

"Father, I'm back." Qi Xia and Xia Ningyuan seemed to be carved out of the same mold. They obviously carried the key, but they never opened the door by themselves. Xia, on the other hand, winked and made all kinds of grimaces.

Qi Xia has already finished his university studies. He originally planned to go abroad to see the world and gain knowledge before coming back to develop. Now that he is rushing to go abroad with his two fathers, he naturally chose a school in the same country.Since the interview time was scheduled for October, he was busy making various preparations during this time.

He is a mature kid.In view of Qi Xiaoyun's openness, it can be said that he accepted his adopted status calmly in a relatively gentle atmosphere.Even Qi Xiaoyun helped find the parents who abandoned him, but he didn't meet them in the end.

There is too much helplessness in this world, and most people make different choices because of various unavoidable difficulties, so why force it.What's more, Qi Xia doesn't feel that he has received less love than others, so what if he is obsessed with finding the person who gave birth to him?He has no blood relationship with the two fathers, but there is no difference emotionally.

Well, sometimes, the two fathers are so tired that his teeth are sore!

The dinner time is relatively early, because a long table is used, and a baby-like high stool is specially installed at the other end. Although the food is still cat food, it looks like a family of four.

"Rice, don't your conservatory have many beauties and handsome guys? Have you made friends? Tell Dad about it." I'm afraid even Xia Ningyuan didn't realize that he had already replaced Mother Xia's role at the dinner table and was habitually wordy .

"Oh, Dad, I'm still young." Qi Xia was very dissatisfied with his nickname: "How old am I, and I'm still called Rice?"

Qi Xiaoyun glanced lightly, and Qi Xia immediately shrunk his neck: "Forget it, just yell if you want, but don't call me that outside..."

Xia Ningyuan picked up food for Qi Xiaoyun and then for Qi Xia, and didn't even notice those flirtatious looks: "So what's wrong with being young? You can find a job after graduation. I'm an adult. Your dad was looking for your dad when I was only a sophomore in college." La. Humph!"

This was a mouthful, but both Qi Xiaoyun and Qi Xia could understand it.

"Dad, don't spoil the flowers of the motherland. I like beautiful women, preferably as lively as grandma." Qi Xia pouted.Thanks to his two fathers, he doesn't particularly mind whether the other half is a boy or a girl. Of course, if it's a soft girl, he will be more loving.

Xia Ningyuan wanted to persuade him again, but Qi Xiaoyun saw the situation and said, "Okay, Dami is quite tired today, so let's talk about it later."

Seeing this, Qi Xia quietly gave a thank you expression.

Xia Ningyuan never violated Qi Xiaoyun's intentions, so he also kept his mouth shut.

Washing the dishes after dinner was originally Xia Ningyuan's job, but because of Qi Xia's presence, Xia Ningyuan was sitting comfortably in front of the TV and reading the newspaper.

Qi Xiaoyun tuned to the Discovery Channel after listening to the news broadcast, and cut fruit while watching.This is a life he never imagined when he was 20 years old, but unexpectedly it feels great.

"Dami has his own ideas, don't restrict him too much, he will naturally bring someone back when it's time to fall in love or get married." Qi Xiaoyun looked at Xia Ningyuan who was wearing reading glasses and reading the newspaper seriously, and felt that although this appearance brought It's a bit silly, but it's cute. Next time, quietly change him to a pair of leopard-print glasses... Anyway, he never pays attention to this.

"I'm not worried about him." Xia Ningyuan thought carefully about what he was worried about, but he couldn't seem to say it.Qi Xia is an adult, knows how to take care of herself, has enough opinions, and doesn't need multiple people to control her.If I really wanted to say it, probably, it was because I was afraid that he would be lonely.

"Although the child is raised by us, he is an independent individual. You should not impose your own ideas on him. I think he is not bad. Although he is learning music, he has not contracted any messy problems and has a good character." Qi Xiaoyun Discussing with Xia Ningyuan in a serious manner, a little funny in my heart.From being at a loss for the child to being used to it now feels like a blink of an eye... Xia Ningyuan's temples also quietly turned white.

"..." Xia Ningyuan listened distractedly to Qi Xiaoyun's speech, and seeing that there was nothing to say for a long time, he raised his head and glanced at Qi Xiaoyun. "Xiaoyun? What are you thinking?"

I was thinking... You are really old... I am old too... Qi Xiaoyun swallowed these words silently.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Qi Xia received a call from a friend to go out to be happy.Xia Ningyuan leaned against the bed, watching the special interview video on the ipad by the bedside lamp, squatting on Xia Ningyuan's stomach boredly, flicking his tail and licking his paws.

After taking a bath, Qi Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, and carefully looked at himself in the mirror: the contours of his face seemed to have become less... because he is usually unsmiling, and his wrinkles are not so obvious; because he often drags Xia Ningyuan to exercise, his figure is not as good. well maintained...

But age can’t lie, even if the muscles on the body maintain their general shape, they will inevitably lose some strength—changes are always inadvertent, and the heavy objects that were once lifted casually now have to be brewed or even You have to work with Xia Ningyuan to complete it.

Even they are used to sleeping in each other's arms, but they rarely have the urge to go one step further.

No matter what you say, old is old.Qi Xiaoyun sighed lightly.He didn't feel sad, he just hoped that he could spend a longer time with Xia Ning.

"Why did it take so long to wash?" After Qi Xiaoyun finally cleaned up and came out of the bathroom, Xia Ningyuan, who would always pay attention to him as long as he was at home, couldn't help asking. "Don't love cleanliness too much, too much moisture at night will hurt your body."

Qi Xiaoyun didn't speak, and turned off the bedside lamp on his side, got into bed, and at the same time hugged Xia Ningyuan's arms.

A fresh smell unique to after a bath came rushing towards my face... Xia Ningyuan sniffed it helplessly but full of joy, put down the ipad in his hand, also turned off the lights, and wrapped his arms around Qi Xiaoyun's waist habitually.

Long before Qi Xiaoyun slipped into the bed, he had quietly jumped off and got out through the slightly opened door with a "meow meow".

Xia Ningyuan kissed Qi Xiaoyun's forehead, just about to close his eyes, but unexpectedly found that Qi Xiaoyun's legs seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally squeezing him... His body instantly became slightly hot.

The enthusiasm came suddenly, but Xia Ningyuan didn't want to restrain it.

In fact they exercised a lot and maintained their physical functions quite well, but as they got older, it seemed that as they got older, some aspects of their needs naturally seemed to be downplayed, and they hadn't thought about it for a long time.

Maybe it's because today's conversation aroused the desire of the two to verify whether each other is really old. Both Xia Ningyuan and Qi Xiaoyun were a little excited. They were not only satisfied with the touch of the skin, but even wanted to take a step closer.

First, nose to nose, kissing from time to time, like stupefied boys slapping on each other's hard objects without any rules.The fingers with obvious knuckles brought a slight pain with the passage of time, but it seemed to inject strong vitality into the body.

Obviously just wanting to be satisfied for a little bit - the traditional conservatism of the Chinese people is engraved in the bone marrow, but the heat and hoarse breathing that followed made the two of them unable to hold back.

But after all, they are no longer young, and they don't have that much energy to toss tricks. The generation of sexual desire is more caused by love, and they want to feel the existence of the other party more deeply.Therefore, they only adopted the most labor-saving back-entry style. The whole process was not as intense as before, but instead revealed an indescribable warmth and affection.

Almost from the moment of joining until the end, the two hands were tightly intertwined, and their lips wanted to stick to each other's body, sticky kiss endlessly.

In the end, they fell asleep with their limbs intertwined.

When the warm sunshine shone into the room, Xia Ningyuan, who was accustomed to waking up early, subconsciously thought that he was going to be late.Just as he got up, he suddenly remembered that he had retired, so he slowly lay down again.

Qi Xiaoyun was always alert, so he woke up almost immediately.He glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and narrowed his eyes lazily: "It's still early, close the curtains and go to sleep." The two of them had a sudden relationship yesterday. They should have opened the windows and closed the curtains to keep the air fresh before going to bed. As a result, the window was not open, but the curtains were open...

Xia Ningyuan closed the curtains with the remote control, couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed Qi Xiaoyun's exposed shoulder.He regretted it a bit—although he was reluctant to make Qi Xiaoyun too tired yesterday, he still gnawed him all over. Those imprints have a shocking effect only in broad daylight!

"Don't make trouble." Qi Xiaoyun pushed Xia Ningyuan's head away in a daze, patted Xia Ningyuan's head reassuringly, and thought in a drowsy state: It seems that he is really old. He obviously didn't exercise much, and now he still has a kind of bones all over his body. Soreness that has been disassembled and reassembled.

Xia Ningyuan seldom saw such a self-disciplined person such as Qi Xiaoyun act like this, and he cherished it very much in his heart. Not only did he honestly contribute his arm to Qi Xiaoyun's neck, but he also took the initiative to rub Qi Xiaoyun's waist.

Seeing that Qi Xiaoyun's breathing was getting longer and longer, as if he was about to fall asleep, Xia Ningyuan was suddenly disturbed by a question that inexplicably popped into his mind, so he endured it and asked softly: "Qiqi, why did you like me at the beginning?" Are you going to fuck me?"

"...Don't you like me?" Qi Xiaoyun murmured half asleep.

"Oh." Xia Ningyuan responded habitually... Although he wanted to pay off the debt at the beginning, he cared for Qi Xiaoyun 360 degrees... But later, he didn't know when he had a strange thought. Thinking about it now, it may be subconscious It's true that he has long been guilty of evil.

Thinking about it again, something seems wrong.If Qi Xiaoyun was still cold and cold, it seemed that they would not be able to make it to this point.

"Qiqi, I remember you were so cool back then and didn't pay much attention to others. Why did you suddenly treat me nicely?" Xia Ningyuan forgot many details, but he still grasped the key points. If Qi Xiaoyun hadn't suddenly given him countless No matter how brave he is, he would not dare to pick Qi Xiaoyun's school grass.

"Hmm." Qi Xiaoyun's eyelids trembled slightly. "It seems to be a dream..."

Xia Ningyuan was confused, and wanted to ask again, but Qi Xiaoyun opened his eyes, looked at him and asked softly, "Why did you suddenly like me back then?"

"I..." Xia Ningyuan wanted to talk about the life he experienced, he wanted to say that he missed a lot before he discovered what was truly worth cherishing, and he wanted to say that he might have had other thoughts about Qi Xiaoyun... But those The past is almost completely blurred in memory, and it is meaningless to talk about it. "It seems to be a dream..."

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that there was no need to ask each other.

Sometimes the truth is so wonderful, they all had a long dream, after waking up, they chose another road to each other...

It doesn't matter.Importantly, they are together now!
