【Xue Xiao】One hit kill

. "

"As for the age you mentioned..." Xiao Xingchen thought about it seriously, "Although I don't have any practical references, I don't fear or reject starting a relationship with someone I haven't known for a long time, and I don't mind it. It doesn't matter if someone is younger or older than me, or even a bigger age difference, as long as the other party sincerely wants to develop. But I'm sorry..."

Xiao Xingchen looked at Xue Yang seriously and calmly, shrugged regretfully, and said, "I don't see your sincerity."

After Xiao Xingchen finished speaking, seeing Xue Yang's speechless expression, he was worried that what he had said was too serious, but he felt that he had accomplished something that was not a small matter, so he felt relieved. Seeing that Xue Yang didn't make any more comments, he said good night Just go back to the room.

Xue Yang sat on the spot for a long time, and when he heard Xiao Xingchen closing the door, he let out a sharp breath.He put his hand on his chest, feeling a little bad, because the heartbeat under his palm was abnormally fast-faster than ever before.

Xiao Xingchen said so much just now, but there was only one sentence in Xue Yang's mind: This man is so fucking handsome.

[14]

The end of the new year was coming soon, Xiao Xingchen had a two-week vacation, and he was going home to celebrate the new year as usual.Xue Yang bluntly said that he had no place to return to, and asked if he could continue to rent the apartment. Xiao Xingchen nodded, wished him a happy new year, and then packed his luggage and left.

Unlike Xue Yang, who was obsessed with his background, Xiao Xingchen was the only child in his family, and his family was harmonious. His parents were both primary school teachers. The two elders raised Xiao Xingchen from a small third-tier town. They originally wanted him to return to his hometown after finishing his studies. As a result, knowing Xiao Xingchen's sexuality in the early years, he let him take root in a more tolerant place.Xiao Xingchen finally settled in City K. City K is a three-hour drive from Xiao Xingchen's hometown, and the two sides don't usually move around very much, so they can take care of anything.

After working, Xiao Xingchen bought an elevator room for his parents in a well-equipped security complex. Thanks to the elevator, Xiao Xingchen was able to move the New Year’s goods he brought to the third floor at once.

The key was inserted into the lock, and before turning it, the door opened from the inside, and a child entered Xiao Xingchen's arms like a cannonball. Xiao Xingchen patted the child's head and smiled, "An'an, happy new year."

The little boy named An An raised his head and shouted loudly: "Brother Xingchen, Happy New Year——"

After shouting, he rushed to the pile of fruits and snacks at Xiao Xingchen's feet, and called the three partners behind to help carry it.

Xiao Xingchen moved the large fruit box into the house, and told the children to close the door. Mother Xiao came up to him, holding both hands and looking left and right: "I'm back."

I was busy at the end of the year, and Xiao Xingchen didn't come back for two months. Even the regular phone and video contact on weekdays was better than taking a closer look face-to-face.

Xiao's mother was satisfied that her son was not short of weight, so she patted Xiao Xingchen on the back twice, and said, "Your father has been out shopping for groceries for a while, and he's almost back. We're all waiting for him."

An An next to him continued: "I'm waiting for you too, brother! Originally, the teacher asked the teacher's wife to go with him, but the teacher said you were going to come back, so she didn't go with him. The teacher is not happy..."

The last half of the sentence was said in a low voice, as if afraid of being overheard by the absent teacher.

Everyone in the room, big and small, laughed.

The third-tier small town is said to be a city, but it is difficult to retain young people.The school where Xiao Xingchen's parents teach has many left-behind children. The two elders are kind-hearted. They always bring a few students home during the holidays. Xiao Xingchen got along with these students since he was a child. People come and go, but the house has never been deserted.

An An is in the fourth grade this year, and his family is particularly difficult. His mother disappeared after the divorce, and his father never came back for several years after working outside. , An An is the oldest and has a lively personality, and Xiao Xingchen is also the closest to him.

Xiao Xingchen divided the bulk snacks into food boxes, and An An took the initiative to distribute candy to his younger brothers and sisters. Xiao Xingchen saw one of the children staring at the box of fruit candy, Xiao Xingchen felt soft, and looked at An An's avatar Wei Shu didn't finish dividing the sugar, so he directly pushed the food box in front of the child and asked him to take it.

Xiao's mother reminded: "Ziyang don't eat too much, he has a toothache."

The child nodded and picked a candy, holding it in his hand very preciously, not willing to eat it.

"Your name is Ziyang?" Xiao Xingchen asked proactively, "How did you write the name?"

Xiaomu said with a smile: "Ziyang himself told his brother, how do you write the name?"

The child had blushing cheeks, stood up straight, and introduced himself as if endorsing: "Hi brother, my name is Xu Ziyang, Xu Ziyang, the son of a handsome man, Yang of the little sun."

His voice was still a bit milky, he was small, and he looked timid standing in the corner, but his eyes were bright. Xiao Xingchen felt better when he heard him say "beautiful man" and "little sun" in a serious manner. Several other unfamiliar children also recognized their faces one by one.

The children clamored to help wash the fruit after sharing the candy. Xiao's mother asked An An to take care of her younger siblings. Looking back at her son, she couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong? Who do you think of so happy?"

Only then did Xiao Xingchen realize that he had a smile on his face, and he was a little dazed for a moment—he was just thinking that Xue Yang also liked this fruit candy very much.

Why did you think of him again?Xiao Xingchen smiled helplessly.

Xiao's mother asked casually, but seeing Xiao Xingchen's expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she smelled something unusual, so she simply walked in and waited for the answer with a face full of hope.

Xiao Xingchen backed away from being stared at, and said with a smile, "One..."

He originally wanted to talk about a child, but looking at the group of real children like An An Ziyang, and thinking about the person in the apartment in K City who was not a few years younger than him, he felt that Xue Yang really couldn't be considered a "child", so he cleared it up. He changed his voice and said, "A friend."

[15]

Xiao Xingchen talked about him, resolutely not to be stereotyped, the mother and son sat together for a while, Xiao Xingchen's father and two older children also came home, Xiao Xingchen took the opportunity to escape.

"Dad." Xiao Xingchen said as he got up from the sofa to help pick up things, promptly ending the increasingly dangerous topic.

The major issue of children's marriage is probably a common heart disease for Chinese parents--regardless of whether they are gay or straight.Even if his mother was considerate and didn't force or persecute, but just looked at Xiao Xingchen full of love and expectation, Xiao Xingchen still couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the room, and the three elders were soon busy with cooking, and the children were lively and well-behaved. Xiao Xingchen was no longer forced to have a private interview with the parents.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner was on the table, and the children said auspicious words, and Mother Xiao greeted everyone to have dinner.

The TV was turned on in the living room, and the Spring Festival warm-up programs came one after another, making the dining room more and more enjoyable.Eat and drink at eight o'clock, and the whole room, big and small, sits on the sofa to watch the gala.

The programs are similar every year. Xiao Xingchen is not very interested in the party, but their family has a tradition of watching the party together. Every year today, they will sit together and watch TV for a while, regardless of the length of time. The main reason is to have such a family reunion ceremony. feel.Xiao Xingchen peeled a grapefruit and shared a piece with each of them. After washing his hands, he felt that he was a bit late for dinner and wanted to go for a walk, so he said hello and took the keys and went downstairs.

It was still early, the streets were empty, and the fireworks control in the small town was not strict. Some impatient children started lighting small fireworks. Xiao Xingchen looked at the fireworks for a while, and then went to the parking lot to look at the fireworks in the trunk.At twelve o'clock, I was going to set off fireworks in the open space downstairs with the children, so I didn't move them upstairs.

The largest space in the trunk is a 36-ring golden tree silver flower. Xue Yang bought it. It is said that it is different from the ordinary red, green and green coquettish sluts. The fireworks are very large and spectacular. Chenjia's neighborhood dominates.

I don't know what he ate for New Year's Eve dinner alone, and whether he will go to set off fireworks.

Xiao Xingchen was stunned for a while, closed the trunk and locked the car and walked back slowly.

In fact, Xue Yang can only stay in K City alone for the New Year, which is really pitiful. It’s not that Xiao Xingchen never thought of taking him to his home. Anyway, Xiao’s family has always been lively and hospitable during the New Year. One more person will not be a problem Influence.The embarrassing thing is that Xiao Xingchen told Xue Yang justly not long ago that he "has no intention of playing games with him". At that time at Chen's house, it wasn't alien to say, it was just a distance of politeness and respect.

Xiao Xingchen wasn't sure what Xue Yang was thinking. He didn't know whether he had been hurt or if he had really figured it out. He couldn't chase people and ask "Do you still have thoughts about me?" in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. , they didn't ask Xue Yang if he would like to come to his house to celebrate the New Year together.

Now that I think about it, it's a bit unreasonable—even if he didn't have the obligation to make Xue Yang feel less lonely.

Xiao Xingchen's footsteps gradually slowed down. He unlocked and locked the screen with his phone, wondering if he should call and ask Xue Yang what he had for dinner, when the phone rang suddenly, making his palms numb.

Xiao Xingchen took a closer look, let out a sigh of relief, pressed the answer button, looked at the children who were chasing each other with fairy wands not far away, and said hello, "Xue Yang, what's the matter?"

It was a cool winter night, Xiao Xingchen's exhaled white steam covered his face, and the streetlights couldn't see his expression clearly. Even if Xue Yang didn't make a phone call but directly sent a video, he could only see a slight change in the corners of his mouth. , but I don't know what kind of change it is.

But on such a day of celebration, perhaps the arc is upward.

[16]

Xiao Xingchen originally thought that Xue Yang was calling to pay New Year's greetings, but who would have said a few words when the call was connected, Xiao Xingchen
