He said I was soft and nice

The second day, sunny.

Qi Ling woke up very early that day. He opened his eyes and saw the light coming through the gap in the curtains. It was very bright, and it must be getting late.

He moved and found that Xu Chen was wrapping his whole body in his arms. He was hugged tightly. He even pressed his legs on Xu Chen fiercely, with a casual and slack posture.

He carefully withdrew the hand on Xu Chen's body, raised his eyes, and found that the other person was breathing evenly, as if he hadn't woken up yet, so he gently moved the hand around his waist, thinking that he would get up first, but just as he moved, someone pushed him in. arms.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Xu Chen rested his chin on the top of his hair, and his voice was full of the tiredness unique to waking up, and the magnetism was low, which made Qi Ling stop his thoughts of getting up, hugged him back, and rubbed against him in his arms like a baby. .

"Don't sleep anymore?" Xu Chen raised his hand to smooth out the messy hair around his ears, looked at the person who was obediently nestled in his arms, lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Happy birthday."

Hearing this, Qi Ling couldn't help but bury his face in Xu Chen's heart. Hearing the steady heartbeat of the other party, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he hummed vaguely.

Seeing the person who was crawling into his arms like a bunny, Xu Chen gave a low laugh, "What are you hiding from?"

Why do you feel embarrassed like this?

"I didn't hide..." Qi Ling whispered, "I'm just sleepy."

After speaking, he yawned decently.

"Then sleep for a while?" Xu Chen patted him on the back, the person in his arms was soft and relaxed, which made him smile unconsciously, "However, birthday is just such a day, we won't Have you fallen asleep?"

Hearing this, Qi Ling regained his energy in an instant, got up from his arms, and pulled Xu Chen together, "Then don't sleep late, get up!"

The two washed up in the bathroom together, and Qi Ling looked at the reflection of them brushing their teeth together in the mirror, feeling inexplicably happy for some reason.

Every moment with Xu Chen is happy, even if it's not birthday.

Xu Chen looked at the smiling person next to him with curved eyebrows, and couldn't help but raised his hand to pat him on the head, signaling him to brush his teeth seriously.

After the two of them washed up, Qi Ling leaned against the kitchen door, watching Xu Chen cook the noodles for him.

"I want runny eggs!"

"it is good."

After eating, Xu Chen looked at Qi Ling who took the initiative to wash the dishes, and didn't refuse. After the person finished washing, he wiped his hands with a tissue and asked him, "How do you want to live today?"

"You can play in city A, or you can go out of the province."

It is now mid-November, the temperature is just right, suitable for travel.

"Going out of the province?" Qi Ling obviously didn't think about this possibility, with a look of surprise on his face, "Do you have so much time?"

Seeing his bewildered expression, Xu Chen couldn't help pinching his face, "I can also ask for leave, and besides, I don't need to solve all the company's affairs by myself, if not, I can also hold online meetings. You don't have to worry."

When he first took over the company, there were indeed a lot of things, but now that period has passed, and the company is also on the right track under his own arrangement, he can also relax.

Qi Ling nodded, "That's it! But you said that so suddenly, I don't know where I want to go."

His life was too monotonous and boring. Before high school, he went to Qingshui City and stayed in City A for university, so he didn't want to go out to play. Now that he had Xu Chen, he just wanted to simply stay with others.

"As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere!" Qi Ling looked up at Xu Chen with a smile.

Xu Chen didn't miss the cunning in his eyes, and flicked his forehead with his fingers, "Idiot, it's your birthday, why do you push it to me?"

Qi Ling rubbed his forehead, took advantage of Xu Chen's inattention, and hugged Xu Chen's waist, muttering: "I really can't think of going out! It's right to follow you!"

Xu Chen looked at the little fox who was starting to cheat, feeling a little helpless, "Forget it, I guessed it too."

He turned around and took out a piece of paper from the bedroom, handed it to Qi Ling, and stuffed a toffee into his mouth by the way, "Look, this is the strategy I made, is anyone interested?"

Qi Ling took a bite of the toffee, looked at the attractions listed on the A4 paper, and clicked his tongue a little.

Xu Chen not only marked the beautiful scenic spots and playgrounds, but also recorded the local temperature, food, and the distance from City A.

Moreover, at first glance, these places were already filtered by Xu Chen, and many of them were in line with his preferences.

Qi Ling suddenly remembered that Chang Yongyi asked them for help not long ago.

Chang Yongyi and Li Sihan also want to go on a trip, and the time is only Saturday and Sunday, so Chang Yongyi racked his brains to arrange the itinerary.

But it didn't take long for him to collapse. There were too many places to choose, and time, comfort, and Li Sihan's preferences had to be considered. It seemed simple, but actually it took a lot of thought to arrange it.

Chang Yongyi wanted their first trip to be as perfect as possible, so he came up with a plan and asked Qi Ling and Xie Kaiyu to advise.

In the end, it took the three of them an afternoon to come up with a satisfactory plan.

Now, Qi Ling looked at the seven or eight tourist spots on the paper and the things listed in a simple list, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

He knew that with Xu Chen's personality, if he chose one of them, Xu Chen would be able to take him out without worrying about anything else, as long as he was in charge of playing.

He couldn't help but kissed Xu Chen's face, and praised: "My boyfriend is really amazing!"

"Yeah." Xu Chen raised the corners of his lips, and carried him to the sofa to sit down, "Then take a good look, choose a place and we can set off."

Qi Ling nodded, and looked carefully from top to bottom, but when his sight fell on the last spot, he couldn't help being stunned.

Shimizu City.

There is only a simple place name on it, instead of listing attractions and food like before, there are only three simple words.

Xu Chen noticed his gaze, couldn't help pulling him into his arms, grabbed his hand, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Qingshui City has developed well recently, it is also your hometown, you can go to have a look."

Qi Ling lowered his eyes, looked at the hands they held, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, this is just one of the options." Xu Chen said in a gentle voice, "Then let's look at the others."

He was about to continue explaining other places, but Qi Ling suddenly closed the paper, looked up at him, and said, "Let's go to Qingshui City."

Qi Ling's eyes were calm and his tone was steady, as if he was talking about something ordinary.

But Xu Chen's heart tightened, and he raised his hand to rub his hair, "Don't force yourself."

He thought this was a good opportunity before, but Qi Ling was only silent for a moment just now, and his heart ached.

Qi Ling didn't see Xu Chen's worry. He put his arms around his neck and said seriously: "I didn't force it, I should go back and have a look."

Today is his birthday, it's good to go back to the place where he was born and raise him, and see those people who are related to him by blood.

He should also let it go completely.

The two bought air tickets back to Qingshui City and set foot on the familiar land. Qi Ling bent his lips and said to the people beside him, "Welcome to my hometown."

I always feel that this time is different from the past.

Every time he goes home, he feels uneasy, as if he expected that something annoying will happen to him, but he has to come back again. This kind of mood is contradictory and complicated. He will stop alone outside the airport many times. For a long time, I waited until I had completely cleaned up my mood before leaving.

But this time, he didn't feel uneasy, only relieved.

He took the initiative to hold the hand of the person next to him, "I'll show you around."

Qi Ling took Xu Chen to the primary school he used to attend. On weekends, there were no students there, only the guard uncle was at the door.

"Hello, Uncle Zhao." Qi Ling saw a familiar person and greeted him.

The man already had gray hair on his temples, but he was still in good spirits. When he heard someone talking to him, he looked at him for a long time before he recognized it, "Isn't this Qi Ling? I haven't seen him for so many years. They are all the same." Handsome boy!"

Qi Ling was their Provincial Number One Scholar back then, and even the elementary school has been honored for a while, and Qi Ling has been very obedient since he was a child, and now all the teachers in the school have an impression of him.

Uncle Zhao immediately went back to the security booth after speaking, brought two apples for someone, and stuffed them into Qi Ling's arms without any explanation, with a kind smile on his face, "Good boy, take them and eat."

Qi Ling wanted to refuse, but Xu Chen pressed his shoulder and said politely, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

After the two left, Qi Ling couldn't help but raised his head and asked him, "Why did you pick it up?"

Xu Chen handed the apple to his mouth, "Taste one."

Hearing this, Qi Ling obediently took a bite. The apple was very crisp, juicy and sweet.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Chen asked him.

Qi Ling nodded hastily, and said vaguely: "It's delicious."

Xu Chen watched him take the apple in his hand and took another bite, then rubbed his head, "It's good as long as it's delicious."

Sometimes, accepting the kindness of others is also a good thing.

Qi Ling is also loved by many people in this place.

In the end, Qi Ling finished eating two big apples by himself, and Xu Chen looked at the man who couldn't stop rubbing his stomach, and let out a short, muffled laugh, "Are you full?"

Qi Ling put his hands behind his back in embarrassment, couldn't help kicking Xu Chen, and muttered: "Who told you not to eat..."

But in fact, it was Qi Ling who ate one by himself, looking at the greedy eyes in Xu Chen's hand, walked over and ate it by himself.

But Xu Chen didn't say anything, looking at the sign of [Qingshui No. [-] Senior High School] in front of him, he said, "Here we are."

This is Qi Ling's high school. As far as he knows, Qi Ling's three-year high school life was not good.

Sure enough, when Qi Ling saw the school in front of him, the smile on his lips gradually subsided.

This high school is very old. The walls outside the school are mottled, showing a dilapidated blue-gray color, covered with a dense layer of creepers, dark green, showing a completely different vitality from the school.

The school bell rang in the afternoon, and students came out of the school gate one after another.

Qi Ling glanced at it, then looked away, and pointed to Xu Chen at the corner to the west, "Someone often climbs out of the wall in the middle of the night, and there are special bricks inside, so they can easily get out."

Xu Chen glanced at him in surprise when he heard the words, "Did you turn over?"

In the eyes of everyone, Qi Ling is a good student with excellent grades and follows the rules. The incident of climbing over the wall has nothing to do with him.

"Only once." Qi Ling glanced over there, "I found out that I was backward, and I was a little scared, but it was not the time to leave school, so I jumped over the wall and skipped class and went home."

Then he was scolded by Yao Peilan and Qi Changyong, and ordered him to go back to school immediately, and rumors spread out somehow, making him ridiculed and isolated at school, and bad students would even block him after school, and he still made fun of it. Lost his favorite doll.

Thinking of this, Qi Ling breathed out, "But it's okay, it's over."

He is now able to calmly talk about these things with people.

Xu Chen rubbed his cheek with his fingertips, "Well, it's over, now I'm here."

Hearing this, Qi Ling took his hand and rubbed it on his face, and said with a smile, "It would be great if I could meet you sooner."

Or, Xu Chen could not have gone abroad at that time...

He believed that as long as he spent more time with Xu Chen at that time, he would leave that house without hesitation and follow Xu Chen.

However, he just thought about it.

He took Xu Chen's hand, shook it, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "It's fine now, I'm very satisfied."

He took Xu Chen out of the high school, and led others to the bus station according to his usual route after school, "I finished elementary school and high school, let's go to the last place."

Qi Ling looked at the familiar platform and bus, tilted his head, and said softly to Xu Chen,

"Take you to the house where I used to live."
