About going abroad

Due to work transfer, He Ting needs to go abroad for four months next year. In the early stage, he needs a lot of research and plan discussion, and has been in a very busy state.The two have never been separated for such a long time since they were together, Hu Xiao made up his mind to go with him, and later He Ting suggested that he should go abroad to study for another year of study, so at night after sunset, one was in the study and the other was in the living room On the desk, both of them were doing their own things seriously, quiet and beautiful.

In the second year, the two went abroad together as they wished. During the day, they went to work alone and studied alone. In the evening, they would walk hand in hand in Hu Xiao's campus, and watch swans in the park near He Ting's work.They held hands in the square in front of the church, embraced on the passionate beach, looked into each other's eyes and kissed when shooting stars streaked across the sky.Hu Xiao became more cheerful in a free and open country, he finally learned to accept himself, no longer because of the eyes of the public, but for his own preferences, to choose every piece of clothing.In his eyes, clothing has changed from a gender-neutral division of men and women into likes and dislikes, and he is no longer obsessed with whether his gender and body are misaligned, and finally Hu Xiao reconciles with himself.

He Ting's work ended soon, while Hu Xiao's studies continued.So He Ting devoted more time to the planning and creation of his own studio.Hu Xiao felt that he was busier than before, because of the time difference between home and abroad, he found many times that He Ting was still communicating various matters with the country at two or three o'clock in the morning, and Hu Xiao was watching from the side, but he was helpless.But when there was a problem with the studio's funds, Hu Xiao once again took out his savings without hesitation.

"The money here is all the income generated by our comic book, and it was originally the joint property of the two of us."

This time He Ting didn't say any more "nonsense" about the IOU, but just hugged Hu Xiao in his arms and kissed.

About the studio

As soon as Hu Xiao graduated, the two returned to China as quickly as possible to continue the establishment of the studio.On Hu Xiao's side, he rejected most draft requests and business cooperation, and minimized his workload, instead devoting more time to assisting He Ting in his work.He Ting was a little bit sorry, he knew that Hu Xiao really liked painting, especially after returning from studying abroad, he became more interested in painting.

"But opening a studio is your dream. Anyway, my dream has come true, so now I will do my best to help you!"

He Ting rubbed his soft hair: "You seem to have never told me what your dream is."

"Oh, it's nothing." Hu Xiao patted off the hand that was messing with his hair, and then held it in his palm, "I just want to live independently on my own, and it's better to live a better life. All of these have come true .And God sent me a big gift."

After finishing speaking, Hu Xiao looked at He Ting, He Ting understood what he meant and smiled knowingly.

In the end, the studio opened smoothly as scheduled. Many people who had worked with He Ting before heard the news and followed him to start a business. Hu Xiao attributed this phenomenon to He Ting's personal charm and working ability.His subordinates have upstream workers who are familiar with business docking, and downstream workers who are good at planning and event execution, so everything seems to be going smoothly.The first exhibition undertaken by the studio is Hu Xiao’s painting exhibition, not only the comics he drew as a cartoonist, but also other works that have not been published before, such as sketches, watercolors, oil paintings... He Ting generously admitted that this is his selfish intention , is also his 32nd birthday present to Hu Xiao.

The studio's second exhibition is also selfish, but the protagonist of this exhibition is Zhang Nan's lover.A few years ago, Zhang Nan fell in love with a well-known Chinese-American photographer, and then went to the United States to get a marriage certificate that was not recognized in China, and then settled down in China.Zhang Nan can be regarded as one of the founders of this venture, and followed He Ting to do a lot of preparatory work in the early stage. This exhibition is also He Ting's expression of gratitude to Zhang Nan.

Although the income of these two exhibitions is not high, it also made the studio famous in the industry.More and more cooperations came to the door, and the development of the studio was booming.

about cats

The two picked up a stray cat in the garage.When I first brought it home, my body was covered in mud and ash, but after washing it, it turned out to be a little white cat.Hu Xiao hugged it in his arms and couldn't put it down, and then gave it a name that made He Ting speechless.

"Can I call you Mimi?"

He Ting has no right to object in this matter.

Since Hu Xiao works at home, he spends more time with Mimi, and Mimi gets closer to him.So even though He Ting will play with Mimi, He Ting still has to be ranked second in Mimi's heart.

One day, Hu Xiao was in the living room concentrating on watching the animation adapted from his manga, while Mimi was lazy in the nest basking in the sun.He Ting yelled "Baby" in the kitchen, and immediately got two responses.

"Why are you calling me?"

"Meow~"

Mimi jumped up from the nest at the fastest speed, jumped to the kitchen and sat on the kitchen counter.

Hu Xiao followed closely to the kitchen, looking at the person and the cat without knowing it.

"Aren't you calling me? How can it run so fast."

He Ting pretended to be surprised: "I usually call you Baby, and Baby is my name for the cat."

"Why! We agreed to call it Mimi, and you agreed."

Hu Xiao refused to admit defeat, and called Mimi, and the kitten immediately shifted its gaze from He Ting to Hu Xiao.

"Baby."

"Mimi!"

"Baby."

"Mimi!"

...

The kitten shook its head like a rattle, its neck was about to break, and finally lost interest in the two childish ghosts and jumped off the sink.

"No, you can only call me baby." Hu Xiao felt aggrieved, and threatened He Ting with an aggressive look.

"Are you jealous? Do you eat cat's jealousy too?" He Ting teased him with a smile.

"Eat as soon as you eat! Anyway, barking is not allowed!"

He Ting embraced Hu Xiao's waist and kissed him: "Then I'll make you sweet and sour fish, baby."

Hu Xiao snorted arrogantly, and also reached out to hug He Ting.

Suddenly he found a box of freshly opened canned fish behind He Ting, then he looked down and saw Mimi who was still lingering in the kitchen and refused to leave, as if he understood something.

"You're joking with me again!" Hu Xiao was angry, rubbing against He Ting's chest, feeling the tremor in his chest when He Ting laughed.

"Everyone eats fish together, it's just that your fish is a little sour."

"My baby."
