After being spotted by the iceberg next door

"Auntie, Happy New Year." Jiang Yuan put out the cigarette and picked up the phone.

There was a moment of silence over there before he spoke: "Happy New Year, Xiao Jiang."

He Yiqing's voice sounded a little tired: "Are you still in City C?"

Jiang Yu'an's eyelids twitched. He didn't know why He Yiqing knew that he had gone to City C. Was it because the kid had slipped his tongue when he went back, or was it... what did she see?

Jiang Yuan knew that his relationship with Shen Zhiyan would be exposed to He Yiqing, Shen Huaiming, and even grandparents sooner or later, but Jiang Yuan still hoped it would not be the latter.

"Not here, auntie." Jiang Yuan pressed his forehead, went to the window and opened the window. The cold night wind made his mind a little clearer.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Yuan asked, subconsciously rubbing the fuselage with his fingers.

"Then let's talk about it when we go back to City A. Auntie has something to talk to you about." He Yiqing seemed to sigh, then paused: "Auntie saw you yesterday."

"...Okay." Jiang Yu'an replied with a hoarse voice.

He Yi finished counting and hung up the phone. Jiang Yuan listened to the busy tone from the phone, sat down on the sofa as if exhausted, and pinched the base of his nose with his fingers tiredly.

The phone rang again, Jiang Yu'an lowered his eyes, this time it was a video call from Shen Zhiyan.

Jiang Yuan put away the tiredness on his face the moment he picked up the video.

"Why did you leave so early?" Shen Zhiyan lay on the bed, hugging the pillow in his hands, complaining coquettishly.

"Go back to City A to accompany you." Jiang Yuan comforted him with a smile.

Shen Zhiyan smiled for a moment, of course he didn't really complain, the man rushed to City C on the [-]th of the Lunar New Year's Eve, he was very moved, but he just subconsciously acted coquettishly with Jiang Yuan.

The two chatted for a while, Jiang Yu'an heard He Yiqing's voice from Shen Zhiyan's side, and asked Shen Zhiyan to go out to eat fruit.

"Come in a while." Shen Zhiyan called out the door.

"Let's go." Jiang Yu'an said, touching Shen Zhiyan's face on the screen with his fingertips.

"...Well." Shen Zhiyan saw that Jiang Yu'an was a little tired, nodded, subconsciously glanced at the door, and turned to Jiang Yu'an pouted.

Jiang Yu'an couldn't help but pouted, and the corner of his mouth urged: "Go, be good."

Seven days of annual leave, He Yiqing has to go back to City A, Shen Zhiyan wants to stay with him, but He Yiqing refuses to let Shen Zhiyan stay for two more days, to accompany grandma, and then go back with Shen Huaiming after school starts, Shen Zhiyan has always been obedient, so he had to stay in City C obediently .

There is a coffee shop outside the complex, which is beautifully decorated and filled with many green plants. It is quiet and comfortable, and it is a place suitable for conversation.

Jiang Yuan arrived first and ordered himself a glass of soda water, which was decorated with two mint leaves.

Jiang Yu'an took a sip of water, and the cool mint taste filled his mouth, and he felt a little calmer in his heart.

He didn't know He Yiqing's attitude towards this matter, but at least from the conversation, he could feel that He Yiqing's mood was quite calm.

The mobile phone on the table vibrated, and Jiang Yu'an lowered his eyes.

Baby: I miss you so much, I want to go back to City A (┯_┯)...

Just as Jiang Yuan picked up her mobile phone, He Yiqing came over from the door. She was still dressed in simple clothes today, and she was a little tired just after get off work. It may also be because she was pretending to be troubled, and she was not in a good spirit.

"Auntie." Jiang Yuan put down her phone and stood up.

He Yiqing put down his bag and forced a smile.

Jiang Yuan beckoned, and the waiter immediately came over with the menu.

"A glass of water is fine." He Yiqing said.

The waiter nodded and left.

Neither of them opened their mouths. Jiang Yuan stroked the rim of the cup and said, "Auntie, you are looking for me..."

He Yiqing raised his head, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Xiaojiang, I want to ask you." She hesitated, but still asked: "You and Zhiyan, you two boys, are you serious?"

Jiang Yu'an's heart didn't fluctuate much, perhaps because he had already guessed He Yiqing's purpose for looking for him.

"Yes." Jiang Yu'an was silent for a moment, then said, "Auntie, I'm serious."

He didn't explain Shen Zhiyan's position, probably out of consideration for He Yiqing's emotions, he just said something similar to a promise, no matter what Shen Zhiyan said, he was serious about Shen Zhiyan.

The firmness in Jiang Yu'an's eyes made He Yiqing stunned for a moment, the waiter brought over water, and there was a piece of fresh lemon on the glass, the bright yellow color relieved He Yiqing's heavy heart.

"How long has it been?" He Yiqing asked after drinking his saliva.

"Four months." Jiang Yuan said.

He Yiqing fell silent, she is not a rigid person, nearly 20 years of medical experience let her understand that homosexuality is not a disease, it is just a choice, just like Shen Zhiyan likes tomatoes but hates carrots, she has no reason to force Shen Zhiyan to eat the carrots he hates, But choosing to be with a man or a woman is far from being as simple as eating tomatoes or carrots...

He Yiqing's silence made Jiang Yu'an a little uneasy. He was eager to say something, but He Yiqing's attitude made him lose his way. Afraid of self-defeating, he could only wait and stay silent with He Yiqing.

The phone on the table rang again, this time it was a video call from Shen Zhiyan.Jiang Yu'an didn't answer, hung up there, and called again.

"Pick it up." He Yiqing finally spoke, and saw that the caller ID was "kids."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yu'an answered the phone, his voice softened almost instantly.

He Yiqing took a look and guessed that Shen Zhiyan was on the opposite side. He didn't speak, but drank water in silence.

Jiang Yu'an's tone was very gentle, it didn't seem like he had deliberately pretended to be in front of He Yiqing, it was a very natural expression.

Shen Zhiyan didn't know what he said, Jiang Yuan asked him, "Have you taken your medicine?" After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.

"What happened to him?" He Yiqing asked.

"I have a cold." Jiang Yuan frowned: "He is not in good health."

Then he realized that it was not appropriate to say this in front of He Yiqing, so it was unnecessary, so he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Yeah." He Yiqing answered, "I've been like this since I was a child, picky eaters, lazy, don't like to move..."

Jiang Yu'an slightly raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that every time he made Shen Zhiyan move, that person would act coquettishly and refuse to do so.

"So, Xiao Jiang." He Yiqing finally had a smile on his face, and raised his water glass: "What do you like about him?"

"Picky eaters, lazy bones, don't like to move." Jiang Yu'an also smiled, then put away his smile, and said seriously: "Auntie, I accept and accept everything about him that you may think is not good. like."

He Yiqing was stunned for a moment, took a sip of water and put down the glass. She seemed to be moved by Jiang Yu'an's attitude, and said seriously: "Xiao Jiang, Auntie is not a rigid person. I don't mind if my son likes boys or girls, and I don't care. Is he in puppy love, but I don't want him to be hurt, and I don't want it to affect his study and future."

Jiang Yu'an didn't speak, but listened quietly.

"He's going to take the college entrance examination next semester. His father and I, including himself, have great expectations for the 'college entrance examination'. I hope you can take a good look at it. He is too clingy to you. I couldn't figure it out before, but now I'm a little worried, I don't want this to affect his grades, can you understand?"

Jiang Yu's heart beat quickly, it was rare for him to have such a big emotional ups and downs.

"I understand, Auntie." Jiang Yuan nodded.

"That's good." He Yiqing smiled.

The two had a meal together. It was a Chinese restaurant outside the community, and the taste was quite good.

"Do you know what Zhiyan likes here?" He Yiqing held the menu.

She still has some girlish feelings in her heart, and she once said that if she was 25 years younger, she would definitely like a boy like "Xiao Jiang", so now, from the perspective of a mother, she helps Shen Zhiyan to test Jiang Yu'an.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs." Jiang Yu'an didn't hesitate, and Shen Zhiyan mentioned more than once that the "sweet and sour pork ribs" here are delicious.

"He likes to eat sweets." Jiang Yu'an helped He Yiqing rinse the cup, and He Yiqing nodded in satisfaction.

Shen Zhiyan came back two days before remedial classes. His grandma suffered from high blood pressure again. Shen Huaiming stayed in City C to take care of her. Shen Zhiyan came back by himself by car. Jiang Yuan went to pick him up at the station. From a long distance away, he saw Shen Zhiyan picking up his luggage at the check-in area.

The man was wearing a short white down jacket, and his legs were thin and long when he bent over to pick up things. Jiang Yuan took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to him. When he saw the man took out his luggage and took out his mobile phone, Then start looking around.

Jiang Yuan took two steps forward, Shen Zhiyan saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up, raised his arms and waved, ran over dragging the suitcase, came to Jiang Yuan's emergency brake, did not throw the man down arms.

"I'm ready to hug you." Jiang Yuan opened his arms.

Shen Zhiyan grinned, with a cute dimple on his cheek. During the Chinese New Year, his hair grew a little longer, and his soft black hair was a little messed up because of the accelerated movement just now. His lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyebrows and eyes were smiling. really miss you."

There was straightforward and pure love in his eyes, Jiang Yuan's heart moved, and he suddenly wanted to hug him at this bustling station, kiss him, and tell him: "I miss you too."

In the end, they endured until they got into the car, and the two hugged and kissed with the armrest box in the middle.

This kiss was long and gentle. Although it was only a week since they met last time, there seemed to be endless thoughts between the two of them, even if they made phone calls and videos every day, they couldn't resolve it.

"I miss you too." Jiang Yuan let go of Shen Zhiyan, and said what he didn't say at the station: "I miss you so much."

Shen Zhiyan smiled with his eyes bent, leaned over and licked Jiang Yuan's lips lightly, and was chased and kissed by Jiang Yuan again.

Jiang Yu'an didn't tell Shen Zhiyan what He Yiqing already knew. He didn't want Shen Zhiyan to think too much, and he was also afraid that Shen Zhiyan's heart would be shaken. I can know, but because I like it so much, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day, he won't be able to catch Shen Zhiyan.
