This chaotic and hasty day passed, followed by another torrential rain.

Zheng Lan looked out the window while packing her things, the sky was gloomy.He was worried that the plane would be delayed and the journey would take a long time.

Here Zheng Lan was melancholy, while Pei Yan wanted to laugh over there. He was carrying a thick coat and walked over in slippers, and put it on Zheng Lan's shoulders from behind, wrapping him in his arms.

"Why are you always childish?"

Zheng Lan didn't say anything, and nestled into his arms.

The two picked up Bai Hao at the school gate.The car passed in front of him, but the kid raised his head but ignored it, and was still staring at the distance.

When Pei Yan reversed the car again and Zheng Lan pushed down the window, he shouted in surprise: "Brother!"

Pei Yan's figure appeared from behind Zheng Lan, and Bai Hao's voice changed: "Brothers... guys..."

Zheng Lan was amused by him, took the umbrella from Pei Yan, got out of the car, and helped Bai Hao put his luggage.

They stood beside the trunk, Bai Hao still supported the side of the trunk, looked forward, and asked Zheng Lan in a low voice: "What's your relationship now?"

Zheng Lan didn't speak, just smiled at him, patted him on the shoulder, turned the umbrella handle and left.

There was a loud bang from behind, and the trunk was closed.

Bai Hao trotted into the back seat, and Zheng Lan had just sat in the co-pilot, holding the seat belt in his hand and looking for a hole. Pei Yan held his hand and stuck the button in accurately, with a crisp click.

Bai Hao coughed suddenly, Pei Yan squeezed Zheng Lan's hand, looked at him and smiled.

Pei Yan didn't buy the ticket with Zheng Lan, and naturally he wasn't next to Zheng Lan and Bai Hao.I want to upgrade them, but the end of the year is approaching, and there are many people who want to go back to China, so it can't be done.Pei Yan had no choice but to sit in his first-class cabin lonely, and before leaving, he pretended that he had something to explain to Zheng Lan, left Bai Hao behind and grabbed him and walked towards the corner of the airport, and kissed him when he looked around for no one.

Pei Yan held the back of his head and stroked his hair from time to time.Zheng Lan pinched his thick collar and raised her face slightly.

In Palo Alto, the last kiss of the year.

When they got on the plane, Bai Hao and Zheng Lan were sitting next to each other. Before the plane took off, Zheng Lan was still looking at his phone. Bai Hao shook his hand and looked straight at him, "Be honest."

Zheng Lan didn't want to hide it from him, so she omitted some hypocritical scenes and told the story straightforwardly.

Hearing the part where Pei Yan was blocking him in the bathroom of the bar, Bai Hao covered his mouth with one hand, leaned on the armrest of the seat with the other, shook his head repeatedly, excited and frightened: "You guys are really... really gay!"

Zheng Lan was amused by him.

"Have you asked where Pei Yan's house is? How did you meet during the winter vacation?" Bai Hao asked.

He didn't know that Zheng Lan had a difficult family, but what he said suddenly made Zheng Lan sober.

Yes, this is returning home.

Seeing that Zheng Lan didn't answer, Bai Hao naturally thought that they might be in a different place, and comforted him: "The vacation isn't too long, and besides, they're all adults, so it doesn't matter if they travel far away, just stay at home during the Chinese New Year."

Zheng Lan looked at Bai Hao in embarrassment, and said, "My family is very opposed to it..."

He couldn't speak the second half, but Bai Hao also understood.

"Oh, your family already knows?" Bai Hao never thought that Zheng Lan would have such courage.

Although he is a rich second generation, he grew up with his parents since he was a child. Among his friends, he knew a lot when he was a child. Everyone knows the basics, so Bai Hao rarely encounters things like Zheng Lan.

Not to mention the elders, even he reacted for a while when he heard about it.

After all, it is something he has never been exposed to before. People are always afraid of the unknown and what they cannot control.

Bai Hao felt that Zheng Lan was holding back a bit and that he might need someone to listen to him, so he became the listener with peace of mind.

After getting off the plane, Pei Yan sent a text message to Zheng Lan, told him the exit and the license plate number, and asked him to wait first. Bai Hao originally called the family's car to pick him up, but now that Zheng Lan was being escorted, he left first.

Zheng Lan thought that there was something else to do with Pei Yan, so she walked very slowly after taking the luggage.

The car stopped at the place he said, but it was too conspicuous, and people passing by basically looked back.

Zheng Lan trotted over, the trunk was raised, the driver got down from the driver's seat to help him, but Zheng Lan had already put the suitcase away, and opened the back seat door to get in.

"What about being a thief?"

Zheng Lan was taken aback, and only turned around to see Pei Yan sitting beside her.

"Your car is too ostentatious..." Zheng Lan argued.

Pei Yan naturally said it was her fault, and asked Zheng Lan's home address.

Zheng Lan faltered out a place name, and then discussed with Pei Yan: "Can the car be parked farther away?"

Pei Yan didn't care about these, rolled his hands and said, "Of course."

In an equivalent exchange, Pei Yan also told Zheng Lan the address of his home. Zheng Lan opened the map on his phone to see that his home was in a nearby city, and there was a distance of more than 100 kilometers between them.

"I may be busy for a while," Pei Yan said, "but I will find you when I find time."

"I can go to you too." Zheng Lan leaned on his shoulder, and buried her face again, seeing Pei Yan's heart numb with a very reluctant look.

They touched their lips quietly in the back seat, and Zheng Lan leaned against him to watch the scenery outside the window.

Zheng Lan is not very familiar with the journey home from the airport, but he can still see a bit of the city.

When Pei Yan asked him where this was and where it was, Zheng Lan couldn't answer most of them.Pei Yan had no choice but to say: "I will know everyone when I go to Yijiang in the future."

On the plane, Zheng Lan was busy chatting with Bai Hao, and now she was sleepy, and almost fell asleep in the second half of the flight. When she woke up, the car had already parked in a hidden alley for an unknown amount of time.

Zheng Lan watched Pei Yan leaning on the car door through the car window, lighting a cigarette with her fingertips.

He bent his fingers and tapped lightly, and Pei Yan turned around and opened the car door for him.

"Are you awake?" Pei Yan took his warm sleeping hand.

"Yes." Zheng Lan nodded.

The driver went around to the rear of the car and took out his suitcase, and Zheng Lan thanked him and took it.

"My house just exits this alley, and it's just a short walk up." Zheng Lan compared.

"Understood, go back, call me when you get home..." Thinking of his mother, Pei Yan changed his words, "Otherwise, it's okay to send a message."

"Okay, tell me when you get home." Zheng Lan said.

Pei Yan pulled him over and touched his forehead, Zheng Lan looked around, but didn't push him away.

"See you next time." Pei Yan let go of his hand.

This alley is not old, but very long.Standing by the side of the car, Pei Yan watched Zheng Lan walk and look back, every time she raised the hand holding the cigarette to him.He kept watching Zheng Lan until he was out of sight, and the cigarette was burned out, so he barely took a few puffs.

Pei Yan didn't rush to get in the car, but made a phone call.

"Help me check Ruan's house."

After entering the community, Zheng Lan sent a message to Pei Yan.

The security guard knew him, maybe he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he hesitated when he called for someone: "You are...Mr. Zheng, are you back?"

"Well, hello uncle." Zheng Lan nodded to him.

The Zheng family is a villa. As soon as they arrived at the gate, the maid ran up to help Zheng Lan get things.

But Zheng Lan only had one suitcase in his hand, and he carried it by himself without letting others touch it.

As soon as the door was opened, the living room was quite quiet, but the servants seemed very busy.

The cooking in the kitchen was in full swing, and the servant took Zheng Lan's suitcase at this moment, and said to him: "Madam and friends are upstairs in the chess and card room. I asked you to go there first when you come back."

Zheng Lan then broke his pace, and when he reached the door, he heard the voices of many people talking.When I opened the door, I saw that the small, square room was very lively.

A mahjong table, Song Meiqing was sitting opposite the door, and there was a girl beside her watching the cards for her.

Zheng Lan recognized it immediately, isn't this Gu Zhi?

And next to the door is Gu Zhi's mother.

Zheng Lan called her mother, and some bad premonitions appeared in her heart for a while.

"Are you back?" In my impression, since Song Meiqing knew about that, she had never spoken to Zheng Lan in such a gentle tone.

"Well, I just arrived." Zheng Lan closed the door, called all the aunts on the mahjong table, and finally said to Gu Zhi, "Hello."

Gu Zhi looked at him generously, and the two exchanged a look, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Did you ask me to come?" Zheng Lan asked.

"I want you to greet people, it's okay, let's have dinner together later." Song Meiqing threw a card. "When is grandma coming?" Zheng Lan asked.

Only then did Song Meiqing look up at him: "Someone has already picked him up."

Zheng Lan didn't stay too long, turned around and went out.

After entering the room, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes before sitting by the bed and looking for Gu Zhi's contact information.

He and Gu Zhi were classmates for a while, and they weren't very close, but they could still talk to each other.

Zheng Lan thought about it, but before he could ask, Gu Zhi sent him a WeChat message first.

Gu Zhi: Exactly what you think.

When Zheng Lan opened the door and saw her, the pause for a few seconds was enough for Gu Zhi to figure out his mental activities.

Gu Zhi: I'm sorry, I came here to deal with the elders, and your mother seems to be quite difficult to deal with.

Zheng Lan: Yes.

Gu Zhi: So let's act together, shall we?

Zheng Lan first told her: I already have a boyfriend.

Gu Zhi: Oh...that's really a bit inconvenient, well, find a chance to refuse, I don't care.

Zheng Lan: Thank you for your understanding.

He turned off his phone and let out a sigh of relief.

He knew in his heart that what Gu Zhi said was a good way to procrastinate, but he would never do that.

He couldn't pass his test, and couldn't bear to speak to Pei Yan.

When you fall in love with yourself, why do you always wrong him so much?

When it was time for dinner, Zheng Lan heard a sound on the stairs in the room, and walked out out of politeness.He followed behind Gu Zhi, and the two were at the end.

Gu Zhi casually chatted with him about some school affairs. Although Zheng Lan didn't take the initiative to speak, she also talked with her in a gentlemanly manner.

Just as I was seated in the restaurant, the sound of a car came from the front yard.

Grandma should have arrived, Zheng Lan stood up and went out to greet her.

An old man in the back seat was helped down.

I haven't seen her for only one semester, and Zheng Lan feels that grandma has aged a lot.

At the age of 80, the body is like dead wood, and with diseases, it is as light as thin paper.

Zheng Lan stepped forward to hold her grandmother's skinny hand distressedly. The grandmother was happy to see her grandson, but her smile was like ravines being opened.

"Grandma, I'm back." Zheng Lan felt her chest sore even when she spoke.

"Just come back." Grandma kept holding his hand, a few meters away, but the grandparent and grandson walked for a long time.

At the dinner table, Zheng Lan sat next to her grandmother to pick up food for her. Unfortunately, the old man really couldn't eat much, and finally stuffed it into Zheng Lan's bowl.

Song Meiqing intentionally or unintentionally reminded Zheng Lan to take care of Gu Zhi, and Zheng Lan understood what it meant, but she didn't explain clearly because of the old man's presence.

After the meal, Song Meiqing asked Zheng Lan to take Gu Zhi around again. Zheng Lan only wanted to be with her grandma, and her expression was 1 unhappy.

I thought I didn't know my family well, so how could I take it with me?

He looked at his grandmother, but he didn't expect the old man to agree, saying, "Your mother and I still have something to talk about."

Zheng Lan had no choice but to leave with Gu Zhi. The two found a rocking chair in the garden and sat down, but they were far away from each other.

"I know you don't like girls, but your behavior makes me feel like a ghost." Gu Zhi propped his chin and said.

Zheng Lan was amused, and apologized to her, "I really don't have much experience with girls, and I'm afraid of my boyfriend..."

"It's alright, alright, you don't have to keep reminding me that you have a boyfriend..." Gu Zhi waved his hands, didn't speak for a while, then suddenly came up to him and asked, "Is your boyfriend handsome? Do you like him so much?"

"Does he have to be handsome for me to like him?" Zheng Lan asked.

"Anyway, I am," Gu Zhi scanned Zheng Lan up and down, "If you're not handsome, I won't let you pretend to be my boyfriend. How can I find a handsome guy when word spreads..."

"Okay," Gu Zhi was too calm, and Zheng Lan also relaxed a lot, "My boyfriend is really handsome...just..."

He wanted to find a word to describe the vigor in Pei Yan, but he couldn't, his mind was full of his face.

"It's just handsome." Zheng Lan could only say.

Gu Zhi seemed to understand, and patted Zheng Lan on the shoulder, "All right, for the sake of your handsomeness."

what is this...

Zheng Lan covered her forehead.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan sent a message at this time, saying that he had arrived, and asked him if he could make a video.

Zheng Lan looked around, he and Gu Zhi were the only ones in the garden, no one else would bother them for the purpose of matching up, maybe now is a good time.

So Zheng Lan directly made a video call to Pei Yan, and the dialing voice sounded, and he said to Gu Zhi, "I'm going to make a video call with my boyfriend right now."

Seeing his calm expression, Gu Zhi felt that if he was eating, he would definitely choke to death right now.

"Come on," the phone was connected just as she was speaking, "You guys are really good at being gay!"

Zheng Lan smiled apologetically.

Pei Yan's tired voice came from the phone: "Baby..."

When Gu Zhi heard this, his eyes widened.

The name of this baby is Zheng Lan, but he is a bit tasteful.

"Here, are you home?" Zheng Lan asked.

He sat on the side of the rocking chair, facing Gu Zhi, and the camera was on himself, so Pei Yan couldn't see her.

"Just arrived," Pei Yan was supposed to be lying on the sofa, her hair was all messed up, "I'm so tired."

"Then go take a bath and rest." Zheng Lan felt a little distressed, and her tone was a little softer, which made Gu Zhi's brows twitch.

"Well...I want to hug you to sleep." Pei Yan deliberately acted like a baby with him.

Gu Zhi didn't hold back, coughed beside him, Pei Yan frowned instantly.

"This is my friend," Zheng Lan had no choice but to show the camera to Gu Zhi, "We are having dinner at home today."

"Hello." Gu Zhi said hello bravely, looked at the person opposite, and exclaimed: "Brother?"

"Who?" Zheng Lan was dumbfounded, and leaned over to take another look. This is Pei Yan.

"Who is your brother?" Zheng Lan asked.

"Pei Yan," Gu Zhi pointed at the screen, "my third aunt's cousin's sister's son."

Zheng Lan didn't straighten out the relative relationship here, but Gu Zhi started chatting with Pei Yan instead.

When Zheng Lan approached, Pei Yan waved his hands on the screen and said to Gu Zhi, "Hurry up and move away, I'm talking to your sister-in-law."

Upon hearing such a title, Zheng Lan glared at Pei Yan.

"I made a mistake, it's brother-in-law." Pei Yan immediately changed his words.

Gu Zhi tactfully sat far away, Pei Yan asked why Gu Zhi was here, Zheng Lan didn't know how to tell him, so she said, "The elders are playing together."

Pei Yan blinked twice and kept looking at Zheng Lan without moving.

Zheng Lan felt guilty, thinking that Pei Yan had noticed something, and just about to speak, Pei Yan rubbed her eyes.

"Go and rest," Zheng Lan urged him, "your eyes are red."

Pei Yan brought the phone closer, and the eyelashes became clear one by one.

He drooped his eyelids loosely, making Zheng Lan untimely think of the night they were in the dormitory before returning to China.

"Lanlan..." Pei Yan called out to him, and the voice from the receiver carried a few traces of electricity.

Zheng Lan waited for him for a while, but did not wait for the next sentence.

As if to prove his determination, Pei Yan said nonsensically: "We will always be together."

The author has something to say: Oh, you will always be together...
