vision of dawn

Liao Liming and Xi Wenbai’s first Valentine’s Day coincided with the Chinese New Year. Xi Wenbai gave the company’s Chinese employees a week’s paid vacation. On the last day of the working day, a boss who was diligent in government affairs typed the email at the airport and clicked Sent, the network was a little slow, and it took a long time to go in circles. When the status in the lower right corner showed that it was delivered, Xi Wenbo put down his phone with relief, and watched the little doctor opposite him eat beef noodles.

The beef noodles in the terminal building are too fragrant. Liao Liming has been helping to monitor the data in Xi Wenbai's laboratory since the morning, and has been staring at it until night. He is so hungry that he is now sucking the third bowl.

"It's so delicious?" Xi Wenbai watched him suck the noodles, and he had an appetite, so he handed over a tissue, "Do you want more? I'll go over and get you a bowl."

Liao Liming's face was rosy after drinking the noodle soup, and he felt alive again, "I'm full... Boss, I was really hungry just now, when shall we board the plane?"

"In another 10 minutes, landing in Amsterdam happens to be February NO.14."

Tired after eating and drinking, Liao Liming groaned angrily, huddled in the chair and didn't want to talk, Xi Wenbai checked that it was about the same time, took Liao Liming with one hand, and took the two people's boarding bags with the other. Take the ferry.

After all, today is a special day. Even at this time, there are many Dutch people gathered at the arrival gate. Between the various pick-up signs, there are two or three pieces of bright red hanging slowly, like burning clouds.

Xi Wenbo stared at it thoughtfully for a few seconds, then stopped abruptly, embraced the dazed Liao Liming, and asked him if he wanted some flowers, and would it be okay to buy them now.

"...Boss, what time is it?"

"It's ten minutes past eleven."

"There should be no flower shop that opens at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night."

Xi Wenbai disagreed and stubbornly covered his mouth. Liao Liming couldn't understand why his boss always insisted on himself on such dispensable issues. Lying on the soft bed to sleep, he opened his mouth and took a mouthful of Xi Wenbai's palm, slurring his words, "We are a fat hotel."

"No, it won't be February NO.14 in another hour." Xi Wenbai stuffed the luggage and the little doctor into the taxi, and asked the driver to drive round and round in the center of Amsterdam. Liao Liming failed to get soft. He leaned against Xi Wenbo's softer eighty-weave overcoat to take a nap on the sixty-weave bed, and the road surface was slightly elevated, so he moved his head uncomfortably, and got closer.

The late-night theater in the city center had just ended, and scattered Dutchmen were scattered on dozens of steps, tightly wrapped in cashmere robes with flowers to stop the car. Xi Wenbo asked the driver to stop at the side of the square and pulled out a wad of Euro Let him wait a while, then hang his scarf around Liao Liming's neck, and lead him into the square.

Xi Wenbai walked fast, and Liao Liming was dragged by him. The cold wind blew head-on and he woke up a lot. The street lights in the square were scattered widely. Compared with the always busy airport and avenues, this place is as quiet as another world. In the dim At the bottom, there was indeed a shop with lights on. From a distance, through the not-so-clean glass windows, one could vaguely see the figure of the stall owner busy cleaning up.

"Oh, it's closed! Come back tomorrow." The shopkeeper straightened up, shaking his head and waving at them.Xi Wenbo held Liao Liming's hand tightly, said sorry in Dutch, and said that he only wanted to buy a few red roses, and there would be no delay.

"Is there not a single branch left, even a small branch?" Xi Wenbo insisted.

"Boss, it's okay. Actually, I don't like red roses very much."

"Huh?" Xi Wenbo turned to look at him, "What do you like?"

"Very light, very light colors, white is very beautiful, clean, I think it is more beautiful than red roses."

"How can anyone give white roses on Valentine's Day?" Xi Wenbo wrinkled his nose.

"That champagne color, this branch looks so unique." Liao Liming leaned over to look at the finished roses in the window, let out a little steam, and looked expectantly at the owner, "Can you sell it to us?"

Seeing that they were difficult to deal with, the shop owner heaved a sigh of relief, took off the chain of keys around his waist, and opened the gate. Xi Wenbai bought all the remaining champagne roses in the shop for twelve euros, and counted fifteen in total. Not too few. Seeing Liao Liming hugging flowers, he lingered on the various seeds on the bottom of the wooden frame for a while, then happily took out his wallet and quickly bought all the flowers on that floor.

It was only five euros for so many categories, and Xi Wenbai held his wallet in frustration, feeling that it was too cheap.

The transaction at the cash register was still going on, Liao Liming lowered his head and stared at the flowers, not daring to look around, for fear that Xi Wenbai would evacuate the entire store.

Just after zero o'clock, the weather on February No.15 was no different from that on February No.14. Liao Liming walked, picked a small piece of flower petals and put it in his mouth to chew, then smiled and raised his head and said ,"Sweet……"

"Really? Give me a taste too?" Xi Wenbai held the flower seeds and stopped to look at him. Liao Liming put his lips up sensiblely and let Xi Wenbai share the other half.

They got very close, their lips and teeth were fragrant when they breathed, Xi Wenbai was content with a flower in his mouth, and wanted to praise the little doctor today, but the taxi driver not far away flashed his headlights untimely, and then flashed his headlights again.

"Ah, he is urging us." Liao Liming pecked Xi Wenbai's lips reassuringly, and walked quickly towards the direction of the car. Xi Wenbai chased after him and wanted to continue kissing, "I didn't—"

Before the words were finished, the headlights turned on and did not dim again.

Liao Liming secretly opened his eyes, Xi Wenbai's eyelashes had an orange-yellow gleam, and he was kissing him seriously.

He is not sleepy at all now.

The thing that is hidden in the depths, which is different from the experimental table and the salary slip, seems to be slowly waking up, Liao Liming is thinking, he really loves Xi Wenbai, loves him very much, loves him like champagne roses in his arms Love as much as those sunny days of old.
