give me a bite

Happy winter solstice

"It's finished, hug!" Lin Ting dragged a loose shirt, apparently planning to change back to his original body.

"Have you ever hugged a cat?" Qiu Yunlan pinched his wet hair and slid her hands over his soft face.

"It will be gone after washing!" Lin Ting raised his head and opened his hands, his small mouth pouting unconsciously.

"Well, let's blow your hair." Qiu Yunlan picked him up, felt it roughly, eyelids twitched, and looked at him in disbelief, "You don't wear underwear?"

"I'm going to change back later, what should I wear?"

"Uh..." Qiu Yunlan looked away, put him on the bed, went to get the hair dryer, and brought a small blanket that Lin Ting often covered when he came back.

Lin Ting was sitting on the bed pulling his clothes. The shirt was worn like a skirt, reaching to his calves, revealing two pink and cute little feet.

Qiu Yunlan wrapped the child in a blanket, and blow-dried his hair without changing his expression.

"Why are you wrapping me up?" Lin Ting grabbed his clothes and looked at him with Kazilan's big eyes.

The sound was drowned by the whistling of the hair dryer in the wind, Qiu Yunlan started to joke, and blew on Lin Ting's mouth for a while, only to hear the sound of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

"What are you doing!" Lin Ting was so angry that he punched him a little, and then kicked him a few times, but Qiu Yunlan easily pinched his ankle.

"Look at your cuteness, let me tease you." Qiu Yunlan dragged the child back, and started to blow again.

The fingers shuttled gently through the hair, and kneaded it from time to time. Lin Ting moaned, expressing that it was very comfortable.

"Well, I will forgive you for your praise."

"Then thank you for your magnanimity." Qiu Yunlan hooked the corners of his mouth, like a cunning fox eating and drinking.

After blow-drying her hair, Qiu Yunlan went to take a shower, Lin Ting was holding her mobile phone to check Weibo, and then saw her chicken coop hairstyle on the screen that hadn't turned on yet.

"Qiu! Yun! Lan! You are going to die!"

Lin Ting, who had been suppressed by Qiu Yunlan for many days, finally broke out and ignored Qiu Yunlan all night.

Originally, I wanted to be intimate with Qiu Yunlan at night, chatting about Qiu Yunlan's childhood photos, but now the child who cares most about her appearance blew her hair, and hugged Gou Ting to the guest room to sleep.

Qiu Yunlan leaned against the door, looked at Lin Ting who was wrapped in a quilt in the guest room, and smiled helplessly and willfully.

"You really don't want to sleep with me?"

Lin Ting rolled on the bed, ignored him, and Gou Ting barked "meow" in his arms.

"If you don't sleep with me, no one will cover your hands and feet when it's cold at night." Qiu Yunlan continued the verbal temptation.

"No goodnight kiss yet."

"Well, I originally said to show you the photos of my childhood at night, since you don't want to, then forget it."

Lin Ting immediately rolled out of the quilt, her little face was covered with red, and her expression was indeed full of anger, "Who said I don't want to!"

Gou Ting was relieved, jumped out of the quilt, and fled in a panic.

"Okay, if you are willing, then I will carry you back?"

Lin Ting turned his head away and reluctantly opened his hands.

Qiu Yunlan took a few steps forward, and immediately grabbed the man into his arms.

Qiu Yunlan didn't dislike him for hugging the cat anymore, she was afraid that he would be irritated and would have to coax him for a long time.

The starlight was hidden outside by the curtains, and the wind moved through the curtains. In the cold and dark, they embraced each other in the depths of the night.

"Today is the winter solstice, I want to eat dumplings." Yan Qihao cocked his legs, knocking on melon seeds, leisurely.

"Winter solstice? What festival?" Lin Ting heard of it for the first time.

Yan Qihao paused, not knowing how to explain it to him, so he said, "It's a festival to eat dumplings, but you don't even know about this big star?"

Lin Ting said honestly, "I don't know, I never did."

In the past, his Weibo was controlled by a brokerage company, not to mention that he seldom spent holidays because he was too busy, and it was normal not to know about the winter solstice.

"The winter solstice is the No. 24th of the 20 solar terms. It is the shortest day in the whole year in the northern hemisphere. The weather begins at the winter solstice. Eating dumplings is good luck, and in some places you eat glutinous rice balls." Qiu Yunlan turned over the paper, slowly explain.

"Then I'll eat more, I'm so unlucky these days." Lin Ting rubbed his belly, thinking how much he would have to eat to be lucky.

Yan Qihao: "Aren't you lucky enough? After you signed up for the long-distance running, the sports meeting was cancelled. It is said that time is tight and you should pay more attention to study."

"Not good! Eat more today."

"The cafeteria should sell dumplings today. If you want to eat them, let's go to the cafeteria to have a look at noon. If not, go out and eat." While speaking, Qiu Yunlan's paper had already been turned over again.

"Okay." Lin Ting nodded in satisfaction.

Yan Qihao looked at them with a disgusted expression, rolled his eyes, and said sourly: "You two bitches, can you go back and close the door and be nasty again?"

Lin Ting raised his eyebrows, "What's so nasty? Why don't we meet up to eat dumplings?"

"I've never seen Qiu Yunlan treat me so well. Alas, it's so chilling to have a wife and forget about brothers."

Qiu Yunlan ignored him and continued to do the papers. He was too lazy to complain about his good brother's accusations. Over the years, he had cleaned up a lot of messes for Yan Qihao.

Lin Ting: "Don't talk nonsense, the classmates are watching."

Yan Qihao said indifferently: "It doesn't matter what you look at, they are very energetic in cp knocking one by one."

Lin Ting was helpless, and quickly changed the subject, "You still feel lonely? Didn't you say that someone is always watching you? Did you find that person?"

Yan Qihao shook his head and said honestly: "No, I feel less recently."

"I think it's because your perception is wrong. What kind of disease is this?"

Qiu Yunlan said, "Persecution paranoia."

"That's right, it's the disease. You have to go to the hospital."

Yan Qihao waved his hands and scolded: "Fuck off, you guys can't say what you want, anyway, I'm pretty normal."

Qiu Yunlan said mercilessly: "As long as you spend your hard work on your studies, you will not only get 52 points in the Chinese test, so shut up and study hard."

"Isn't it the same whether you learn or not? You always have to obey your father's orders. That's fine. I won't talk to you guys. I'm going downstairs to train, bye."

After Yan Qihao left, Lin Ting asked Qiu Yunlan: "What father's order? His father asked him to go to work in his company directly after graduating from high school?"

Qiu Yunlan explained: "No, his father wants to send him to be a soldier to grind his temper."

"Being a soldier, isn't it very tiring and hard? Is it local?"

"No, I'm going to a remote area. I don't know the details."

"Is it so miserable? His father is so cruel?"

Qiu Yunlan said in a mature tone: "Well, their family is a bit complicated, but I don't think it's miserable. Maybe it's a good thing to hone and hone, and you always have to grow up."

Lin Ting smiled and said, "If Yan Qihao heard this, he would probably ask you why you didn't practice."

"In the first few years of high school, I received military education. It started when I was only six or seven years old, and the habit of getting up early was formed at that time."

A ray of autumn sun that had been missed by the obscure curtain fell on Qiu Yunlan's handsome face, setting off that fair complexion like a jade-like brilliance, making it difficult to associate this delicate and beautiful person with those sufferings.

It was rare for Qiu Yunlan to reveal something related to the past, which was a great improvement in their relationship. Lin Ting wanted to dig deeper but didn't dare, and just looked away calmly.

"It's fine if you get used to it yourself, but you still want to pull me up and run. I'm not used to it."

"It was my sister who called you sometimes, but it has nothing to do with me." Qiu Yunlan said, "Don't make something out of nothing."

"That's why you told me to get up, I'm going to be exhausted by you when I get up!"

The two chatted while working on the questions, Lin Ting got angry at him, pinched Qiu Yunlan's hand, and the two started laughing, but they didn't notice that there was a person standing by the door, secretly pressing the camera button on the phone.

"Xuexue Lu is back to school!" Someone murmured, and the class suddenly burst into commotion.

"Where is where?"

"I didn't see it, who is yelling here?"

"I'm really back, I went to report to the second shift, it's next door."

"I'll go, really, really."

"I'll go take a look!"

Both Lin Ting and Qiu Yunlan heard the noise, Lin Ting was about to go out to have a look when Qiu Yunlan held his hand.

"If you have a chance in the future, don't worry."

In the evening, Qiu Yunqing also got home early, came back to eat dumplings, said that life is to have a sense of ritual, it seems that he is still idealistic.

Qiu Yunlan was making dumplings on the table, Qiu Yunqing helped him and rolled the dough, while Lin Ting added to the chaos with Gou Ting in his arms.

Under the warm light, they are like a happy family, immersed in the family atmosphere.

Lin Ting called Lin Xun earlier, basically telling him to take care of himself, and he will go to the apartment tomorrow, and by the way, mentioned about moving Lin Xun, Lin Xun has no objection.

Lin Ting rounded up the downstairs floor of Qiu Yunlan's house and spent a lot of money. He didn't tell Qiu Yunlan that he was going to give him a surprise, so that it would be convenient for him to take care of his younger brother and his lover.

"After washing your hands, you are not allowed to eat dumplings." Qiu Yunlan's usually indifferent face was also stained with a smile at this time.

"Got it, cheapskate." Lin Ting muttered, "I just ate a few dumplings from you, and I will pay you back in the future!"

Qiu Yunqing was amused by him, and joked: "Then we in Sanshui are going to make a lot of money in the future, we should raise Qiu Yunlan when we grow up."

"That's no problem." Lin Ting made an OK gesture at her, and said obediently: "Sister Yunqing also raises her together! I can afford it!"

Qiu Yunqing winked at him, and said with a smile: "You're so good, I didn't hurt you for nothing."

The dumplings made by Qiu Yunlan are beautiful and cute. The patterns are pinched so that he doesn't feel sorry for his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Qiu Yunqing went back when he was full, and there was still a big pot left, leaving one big and one small to grind slowly.

Lin Ting felt that the child's appearance didn't have much to eat, so he pestered Qiu Yunlan to change back to his original body and continue fighting.

When he came back, he found that his share was much too much. When he saw Qiu Yunlan's big bowl, it was almost empty, so he complained that Qiu Yunlan used him as a trash can and stuffed himself with what he couldn't finish.

In the living room where the heating spreads, a Clivia on the dining table blooms very beautifully, and the orange-red petals complement the light, making it softer.

"What do you mean by treating you like a trash can?" Qiu Yunlan looked at him with a smile, her peach blossom eyes were as bright as stars, and her face was flushed as if she had drunk wine, "I just want to share more of my good luck with you, Winter Solstice Happy, student Lin Ting."

Lin Ting felt that he was the one who was drunk and needed a kiss as an antidote.
