[Please answer 1988] Sangmundong scandal

The annual leave will be in two days. This year, the Liu family will be the same as in previous years. The whole family packs up their luggage and prepares to go back to their hometown for the New Year.

The Liu family’s old house is in Incheon, not too far from Seoul, about a three-hour drive. Liu’s father plans to leave at [-]:[-] a.m. two days before the Chinese New Year, and try to arrive in Incheon before noon. Pack it up and put it in the car in one day.

It was evening, and every house turned on the lights, and the aroma of food could be heard from far away in the alley.

Liu Mingxi and Liu's father counted the luggage in the trunk at the entrance of the alley. They will be preparing to leave early tomorrow morning, and they must check it carefully before leaving. If they accidentally miss something, it will be troublesome.

"Where are the new clothes for grandma?"

"I put it in the front seat, and the trunk can't fit it." Liu Mingxi said.

Liu's father said "yes", and then said, "By the way, the account book, your mother's account book, if you don't bring this, your mother will go crazy."

"I've already received it in the bag, so I can't lose it."

"Then it's gone." Liu's father closed the trunk, showing a satisfied smile, "Go in, it's freezing outside."

"That," Liu Mingxi hesitated for a moment, he should be approaching this time, "You go in first, I'll go to the convenience store."

"Remember to come back early." Father Liu agreed without thinking too much, locked the car door and walked towards the door of the house.

"Ah."

- station crossing

Liu Mingxi stretched out his hands to gather the scarf around his neck, and hid half of his face under the scarf, only revealing a pair of eyes and a little bit of the tip of his nose.

Not far away, a car stopped at the intersection, and a person wearing a gray coat stepped out of the car, it was Cui Ze who had returned from the game.

Liu Mingxi obviously saw him too, and hurried up to greet him, "Here we are."

Cui Ze ran to Liu Mingxi in two or three steps, his eyes fell on her exposed ears, which were a little red from the cold, and his heart ached, "Didn't we say we would meet inside, it's so cold outside."

Liu Mingxi held her face and smiled, "It's okay," she saw Agent Wu behind Cui Ze following up, and hurriedly greeted, "Hello."

"Hi, Miss Liu," Agent Wu smiled back, and handed the paper bag in his hand to Cui Ze, "This was left on the car just now."

"Ah...thank you." Cui Ze remembered the chess record he had neglected in the car.

Without thinking about it, Liu Mingxi knew that it was Cui Ze's fault of forgetting things, and he felt helpless and apologetic to Agent Wu, "I really hope you will take care of me."

"How could it be?" Agent Wu waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Well, please walk slowly."

Agent Wu's car walked away slowly, Liu Mingxi turned his attention to Cui Ze again, bent his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, welcome back."

At the end of the year, Cui Ze participated in various competitions as if rushing to the field. He had just arrived at one place and had to rush to the next one before taking a break. One can imagine how hard it was.

Cui Ze raised a smiling face, looking relaxed and comfortable. Only when he is in a familiar place and in front of familiar people can he open up and let go of the distance.

"Let's talk as we walk," Liu Mingxi took his arm naturally, "Should the competition from a year ago be over? Are there any other arrangements?"

"Not yet, you can rest for a few days..."

The two walked slowly while chatting, and arrived at the convenience store at the entrance of the alley after a while.

"Wait for me, I'll go shopping." Liu Mingxi let go of Cui Ze as he spoke, and ran all the way to the convenience store.

After a while, Liu Mingxi came out with a big bag full of snacks.

"Huh? Who wanted these?" Cui Ze reached out to take the bag from her hand. He knew that Liu Mingxi didn't eat this kind of snacks very much, so it was obvious that he bought them for others.

"I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. For those children, I can be a little more presumptuous during the Chinese New Year." Liu Mingxi explained.

When it came to returning to his hometown, Cui Ze couldn't help but ask a few more questions, "How long are you going to stay? When will you go back to Seoul?"

"Well... about five days, anyway, my mother will definitely come back before the end of the vacation."

Five days...not too long, Cui Ze thought.

"Let's go, it's time to go home for dinner."

"coming."

The first day of the annual holiday is the most important day in South Korea. Every family will prepare a lot of food on that day, and some even go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

"—Boom boom boom"

Early in the morning, there was a sound of chopping boards coming from Shan Shan's kitchen.

This year, Cui Ze's family and Cheng Yu's family discussed having a meal together, and the two parents got up early and went to the market to purchase the materials, and bought several large baskets full of them.

"Uncle, isn't Aze up yet?" Cheng Yu saw that Cui Ze wasn't following Cui's father as he expected.

"Still sleeping. I stayed up late last night." Cui's father was also a little helpless. Although today was the New Year, Cui Ze still looked like he hadn't woken up. After thinking about it, he still couldn't bear to call Cui Ze up in the morning.

"Well," Cheng Yu nodded, "I'll go and have a look, it's almost time now, and I'll have dinner in a while."

"please."

Cheng Yu put on a coat, put on his shoes at the door, and walked towards Cui Ze's house.

"——Aze" Chengyu carefully pushed open the bedroom door, poked his head in and saw that Cui Ze was still lying wrapped in a quilt.

"It's almost noon, let's get up and eat." Cheng Yu knelt down and pushed Cui Ze with his hand.

"...Oh." Cui Ze replied in a daze, but his movements were slow.

"Hurry up, are all the clothes in the closet?" Cheng Yu skillfully opened the closet and took out a white coat and a gray long-sleeved one.

"...Understood." Cui Ze in the quilt moved a little, then slowly lifted the quilt, and got up as if boneless.

"Hurry up and wash up, I'll make up the bed." Seeing his grumbling, Cheng Yu simply pushed Cui Ze towards the bathroom.

"Yes." Cui Ze still replied weakly. He almost stayed up all night yesterday, and he really couldn't bear it the next day.

Cui Ze obediently went to the bathroom, and Chengyu folded the quilt two or three times. Seeing that it was a little crooked, he couldn't help but undid the overlap, and he was satisfied after folding it twice.His gaze turned and fell on the blanket on the floor. When he was about to put it away, he found something seemed to be under the pillow. He picked it up and saw that it was a wallet, which looked familiar, but it didn't seem to belong to Cui Ze.

"Aze," Cheng Yu casually flipped through, "Is this yours?"

"—This, wait..."

As soon as the wallet was opened, there was a photo inside, a group photo, Cui Ze and... Liu Mingxi.

Cheng Yu, "..." Oh, he seems to know something.

Cui Ze, "..." What can I do, I am also very desperate.

……

In the evening, Cheng Yu stayed in Cui Ze's room, and Cheng Yu, who had been holding back all afternoon, finally asked.

"Is that what I mean?" Cheng Yu pushed Cui Ze, who was pretending to be dead, with a subtle smile, "Is it Nuna?"

Cui Ze was silent for a while before answering in a low voice, "This is a secret."

It seems that another person found out by accident, Cui Ze said that he really didn't mean it, so the problem came, how should I explain it.

"Dafa," Cheng Yu sighed, "I was worried about what would happen if you were only interested in Go, but it doesn't seem to be the same thing. Come on, tell me, have you confessed? You succeeded. Is it? No, I have to talk to Jung Hwan!"

Cui Ze paused for a moment, turned around, looked at Cheng Yu with a rare and serious look, and then raised the corners of his mouth to show a smile.

"Paola Nuna," he said.

Cheng Yu was taken aback, why did the topic suddenly jump to this?

"You like Paulanuna, I know." Cui Ze's words were affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

Cheng Yu swallowed subconsciously, and blinked his eyes several times, "Ah? What..."

"So," Cui Ze turned his face innocently, "Let's make a deal, I'll keep it secret for you, and so will you."

Cheng Yu said, "...a deal." His expression changed.

The two have reached a united front for the time being.

Before going to sleep, Cheng Yu couldn't figure out how Cui Ze knew about this matter. He felt that he had done a good job of keeping it secret, so he shouldn't.

"When did you know?" Cheng Yu asked.

Cui Ze opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I saw it on the rainy day." It should be said that day confirmed his guess.

The rainy day...it should be the day when Cheng Bora and her boyfriend had a fight.

Cheng Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

"But," Cheng Yu asked again, "Why? I really didn't see it at all." It was precisely because Cui Ze and Liu Mingxi were so close since childhood that he felt even more surprised, this kind of liking between men and women.

"Then why do you like Paulanuna?" Cui Ze asked back.The reason for liking is not clear, maybe it is a moment of heartbeat, or it may be a long-term relationship.

Cheng Yu didn't say anything anymore.

The room was silent for a long time, only the sound of shallow breathing.

"I confessed before and failed."

"Well... keep going."

"What about you?"

"ZZZ..." Cui Ze thought about it carefully, and decided not to hit Cheng Yu.
