Today is Chinese New Year and Chen Ye got up very early. He is still a little sleepy.

Duan Xu got up from the sofa and went into Chen Ye's bedroom. The bedroom was almost the same as when he packed up and left. The two beds still occupied most of the space. On the bedside table were photos of him and Chen Ye taken when they were eight or nine years old.

After staring at the photo for a while, Duan Xu's eyes softened.

Duan Xu opened the closet and took out a blanket. The green blanket had a dinosaur pattern on it. It was bought when Chen Ye was twelve years old. Duan Xu remembered everything in this house clearly.

Walking in front of the sleeping Chen Ye, Duan Xu shook the blanket and covered Chen Ye with it.

Duan Xu turned around and looked at Zhou Ying who was carrying the dishes.

"Aunt Zhou."

Duan Xu spoke first, and Zhou Ying's lips moved. After a long while, he said, "Hey."

Zhou Ying said, as if making conversation, "This child, he eats and sleeps all day long."

Duan Xu smiled and said, "I'll call him later when we eat. Aunt Zhou, let me cook with you. With more people, we can eat earlier."

Zhou Ying nodded and agreed.

When Chen Ye woke up, he saw Duan Xu wearing an apron. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are you cooking?"

"I helped Aunt Zhou cook two dishes, then washed my hands and had dinner."

The family hadn't sat together for a long time. At first, the dinner table was a little silent, but soon Li Lijun opened up and chatted with Duan Xu. Zhou Ying also said a few words occasionally, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

After the meal, Duan Xu took the initiative to leave without Zhou Ying saying anything.

Chen Ye, "Mom, I'll go see him off."

Zhou Ying stared at him for a few seconds and finally agreed.

Duan Xu had already gone downstairs, and Chen Ye trotted after him. He grabbed Duan Xu's sleeve. Duan Xu turned around and saw Chen Ye, whose nose tip was red from the cold wind.

"Why did you come out?"

Chen Ye stuffed the red envelope into Duan Xu's pocket, "My mom gave it to me."

Duan Xu saw a corner of red leaking out of his pocket, his eyes flickered slightly, "Thank mom for me."

"Mom actually misses you a lot, and so does Dad."

Duan Xu, "I know."

The weather was very cold, and the night wind blew on people's faces like a knife. Duan Xu raised his hand to gather Chen Ye's scarf, "Happy New Year, but I can't spend the New Year's Eve with you this year."

"It doesn't matter. We'll be together again next year, the year after, and the year after that."

Chen Ye smiled, and his round eyes looked very cute.

Duan Xu's calm eyes showed a hint of tenderness, "Okay."

He put his arms around Chen Ye's neck and pressed him into his arms. The hug brought the two people's hearts closer and closer.

The warmth of each other is conveyed to each other through the hug, making people intoxicated and greedy.

After hugging for a long time, Chen Ye pushed Duan Xu away and said, "You go back first."

However, Duan Xu did not leave immediately. Without any warning, he lowered his head and kissed Chen Ye. The kiss was gentle and affectionate, making Chen Ye sink a little.

After letting go of Chen Ye, Duan Xu stared at his slightly red face and wet lips, then lowered his head and kissed him again.

[favorability level 99]

The system announcement scared Chen Ye, but fortunately it was not 100.

It was already half past nine when Chen Ye returned home, but Zhou Ying did not ask anything.

In the second semester of his senior year, Chen Ye was doing an internship and writing his graduation thesis. He still lived in the dormitory and did not move to Duan Xu's house in a hypocritical manner. Although he knew that Zhou Ying would not say anything if he moved out at this time, he still wanted to prove to Zhou Ying that even though they were separated by a long time and distance, his feelings for Duan Xu remained the same and would not change.

One afternoon, Duan Xu's favorability towards Chen Ye reached 100. Chen Ye was well prepared. He went to the hotel and got a room. He asked the waiter not to disturb him. After lying down for hours, Chen Ye woke up.

The mission of this world has also been completed.

A few months passed in a flash, and Chen graduated. Zhou Ying finally relaxed and agreed for them to be together. As for those aunts and uncles who gossiped about them, Zhou Ying scolded them all.

After graduation, Chen did not join Duan Xu's company. He and his friends opened a small company. As a result, both Duan Xu and Chen were very busy and had almost no free time.

After the two of them finally finished their work, they finally had some time, so Chen Ye and Duan Xu went on a trip to the southwest together.

Different from the small bridges and flowing water in the Jiangnan region, and also different from the vast expanse of the northwest desert, the southwest region has its own unique scenery. Once you visit it, you will definitely linger.

They traveled around tourist areas during the day and stayed in hotels at night.

Chen was also lying on the bed. He pulled Duan Xu's arm and put his hand on Duan Xu's computer. "You said you won't work after you come out."

Duan Xu closed his computer and turned around. "My fault. It's been resolved."

"I think this place is really nice. The scenery is great during the day and the food is delicious. How about bringing my parents here during the Chinese New Year?"

Duan Xu smiled, "Of course. If you like, you can buy a house here. When we retire, we can live here."

"You're not even 25 yet and you're already thinking about getting old," Chen Ye hugged Duan Xu's neck, "Mr. Duan, you really think long-term."

Duan Xu took the opportunity to hold Chen Ye in his arms, "Yes, I just love thinking about our future, and the days when we are old."

Chen was also amused by him. He raised his body and kissed Duan Xu on the face, and then was pressed onto the bed by Duan Xu.

……

When Chen Ye was 30 years old, society had become very tolerant of homosexuality. China's same-sex marriage law was promulgated, and Chen Ye and Duan Xu got their marriage certificate.

On the day of getting the marriage certificate, both of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Decades later, Li Lijun passed away. Zhou Ying was depressed for a while, and Chen Ye and Duan Xu were also sad for a long time. However, the living have to look forward, and time gradually healed the pain.

Another ten years later, Chen also sent Zhou Ying away.

One winter, he and Duan Xu met death together.

When Duan Xu was lying on the hospital bed, Chen Ye was always by his side.

Chen Ye held Duan Xu's hand and said, "Brother, I am so happy to be with you in this life."

Whether when they were children or when they grew up, Duan Xu gave him love without reservation.

Duan Xu coughed lightly and smiled, "I am very happy too."

With his head on Duan Xu's chest, listening to Duan Xu's gentle heartbeat, Chen Ye said, "Brother, see you in the next life."

The heartbeat gradually died down, Duan Xu closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.

See you in the next life, Guoguo.
