african diary

Daniel finally went to the Southern Sahara, but as Ted had foreseen, a week of searching turned up nothing.On the day he came back from Southern Sahara, Daniel looked haggard. Xiao Hang didn’t know what to say. Maybe time is the best medicine for wounds. Whoever leaves in this world will continue to live. Smart people don’t do it for anyone. Looking for death and life, and he is convinced that Daniel is a smart man.

The Spring Festival in China is coming soon, and it is a good tradition of the company for the manager to stick to his post during festivals. Xiao Hang is busy preparing for the return to China. This time, he will bring some information about the pyrethrum project, and go back to Liu Bin to contact the agency company. Importing, this is the first time importing pyrethrum, Xiao Hang does not want to set up a company to do it, and he has not yet thought about working in Kenya for a few more years.

After Ted returned to England to deal with some matters, he booked a plane with Xiao Hang to China at about the same time, and planned to meet Xiao Hang in Guangzhou.Thinking of this, Xiao Hang felt a little headache. Although he said that this time he would tell his mother that he would go to China with his colleagues from the company, but... some things are really hard to say.However, no matter what, he has to work hard, and now Ted is already an inseparable existence for him.

When he arrived in Guangzhou, Xiao Hang asked Ted to go to the hotel he had booked first, and he went to Liu Bin's house by himself. He needed to deal with some things alone.

Sure enough, Liu Bin's tone on the phone was lukewarm, and he didn't have a good face when they met——

"You still remember me!"

"I thought brothers didn't need to talk on the phone every day."

Liu Bin snorted twice: "What about Yang Yue, you didn't listen to my words at all." Sure enough, Liu Bin got straight to the point.

"Then what do you ask me to do? This kind of thing will always hurt you." What is Liu Bin's request not to hurt Yang Yue called? How is it possible?

"At least you can stop using such a decisive attitude." Liu Bin is still angry now.

"Then you beat me up for her."

"No need, this matter will make you feel ashamed for the rest of your life, but it's not so easy to take advantage of you." After Liu Bin finished speaking, he led Xiao Hang into the door.

Looking around Liu Bin's house, I can see that there have been many changes this year, and the interior has increased a lot... It looks like a small accessory that only a girl would buy, and it is much warmer.

"You feel more and more at home now, have you got a girlfriend?"

When Xiao Hang asked this, Liu Bin actually blushed, he hesitated for a long time and managed to say, "That's right."

Xiao Hang smiled lightly, and suddenly had a guess.

"Didn't you comfort Yang Yue for me?"

"One size is one size, I am to her..." Liu Bin realized that he had slipped into Xiao Hang's trap, and immediately shut up.

"Are you together? Congratulations."

"Damn, you heartless guy." Liu Bin patted Xiao Hang's brain.

"When will the three of us have a meal together? You've liked her for many years, right? I'm quitting, and you guys have achieved a positive result." With this relationship with Ted, Xiao Hang finally got emotional. It can be regarded as an enlightenment, Liu Bin's love for Yang Yue has not lasted for a day or two.

"Okay, let's do that. But you kid must explain your affairs to me."

"Well, I contracted some pyrethrum in Kenya, and I need you to help me find some contacts for importing when I come back this time."

"There's no problem with these. You give me the things and materials to be done. I'll let my father find someone to keep them for you." Liu Bin paused: "Why did you break up with Yang Yue? Don't say no to me. It's suitable, isn't it suitable at the beginning? It's been four years since you thought about breaking up."

Xiao Hang sighed, and said: "I have met my true love, it is a man." This matter has to be a showdown, if one's good friends can't accept it, then don't expect the older generation to accept it.

Fortunately, what appeared in Liu Bin's eyes was only extreme surprise, without any contempt.

After a long time, he finally choked out a sentence: "You are too scary."

"Scary?" Xiao Hang chuckled, what kind of words did Liu Bin use, "Is it possible that such an open city like Guangzhou can't have many gays?"

"It's quite a lot." I can see a few of them on the street from time to time, but when it falls on my good friend, I have to think about it, "This road is not easy."

"I know, I just have to do my best."

"Then, one day, let's call your family to meet." I really don't know how to call him, Xiao Hang's boyfriend?But Yang Yue would feel better if she knew that Xiao Hang broke up with her because of sexual orientation.

"Didn't you think you liked men before?" Thinking of this, the question slipped out of his mouth.

"I didn't like it before, and I won't in the future. The only one I like is him, and he just happens to be a man. It's as simple as that."

Looking at Xiao Hang's serious eyes, this guy must really have met his destiny.

"Are we best friends?" Xiao Hang asked.

"That's for sure, no matter what happens, we'll always be best friends."

Liu Bin's words strengthened Xiao Hang's confidence, at least he will always have such a strong buddy behind him to support him, that's enough.

Xiao Hang and Ted stayed in Guangzhou for one night and then set off back to City C.

"Our dishes are very spicy, you are not used to it, I will make some dumplings for you during the Chinese New Year." On the way, Xiao Hang said to Ted.

"It doesn't matter, I'm full just looking at you."

"Dizzy, do I feel so off-putting?" Xiao Hang was a little speechless to Ted's words, and this man sometimes used the wrong Chinese.

"I mean you are so seductive, I am satisfied just looking at you."

"Yeah, I know." On the long-distance bus bound for City C, the passengers were either sleeping or watching movies, Xiao Hang put his head on Ted's shoulder presumptuously, and closed his eyes.

"Mom, this is my colleague. We went back to China to do business together, so I invited him to our house for the Chinese New Year."

"Oh, please come in, please come in." Seeing the handsome foreign guy who appeared with her son, Lan Feng paused, "Can you understand Chinese?"

"Yes. Hello, auntie. My name is Ted. It's the first time we meet. This is a gift for you."

Hearing Ted's pure Chinese, Lan Feng showed an expression of admiration, "Really, just come here, why don't you buy any gifts." Ted chose a set of high-end skin care products.

Lan Feng is well maintained, in her early fifties but she doesn't look old at all, with fair skin and exquisite facial features, Ted finally knows where Xiao Hangjiao's beautiful face comes from.

This year, because of Ted's joining, Lan Feng is going to cook New Year's Eve dinner at her home. Xiao Hang and the others will come back a few days before the New Year's Eve. Xiao Hang brought Ted to prepare some New Year's goods and firecrackers, which can be regarded as the whole process experience A handful of Chinese New Year.

In order to match Ted's eating habits, Lan Feng prepared mainly light dishes, and she also made dumplings by rolling out the dough herself.

"There are ready-made dumpling wrappers for sale outside, is it wrong to roll them yourself?" Xiao Hang likes making dumplings, but he finds it troublesome to roll dumpling wrappers with noodles.

"There are distinguished guests here, how can you entertain people with casually bought food?"

Xiao Hang looked at his mother's serious attitude, and said in a low voice: "You and him don't have to be so extravagant."

Lan Feng didn't understand Xiao Hang's meaning, and poked Xiao Hang's forehead with a friendly hand: "You kid, if you go out for a few years, you can't lose the courtesy of the Chinese."

Mom, can you not be so traditional, Xiao Hang complained in his heart.

"Auntie, teach me how to make dumplings." Ted also entered the kitchen to help.

"Why, you are interested," Lan Feng smiled, "Xiao Hang, teach him, the dumplings you make are not satisfactory."

What they made today were carrot and pork dumplings. Xiao Hang picked up a dumpling wrapper, picked out the stuffing and handed it to Ted, while he quickly picked up another dumpling wrapper.

"Look, just pinch it like this, pinch the edges tightly, and make folds like ears of wheat." Xiao Hang said, but the movements of his hands didn't stop.

Ted squeezed one like Xiao Hang, looking at the decent wheat ear dumplings, Xiao Hang couldn't help but said: "Yes, you are indeed a high-achieving student at the University of Edinburgh, and you are now a teacher."

In fact, making dumplings is not difficult at all, and it feels really warm to prepare dinner together as a family, and the feeling of home has always attracted Ted.With the cooperation of three people, the work of making dumplings was completed in a short while.

"Wait, you have face." Ted raised his hand to help Xiao Hang get rid of the flour on his forehead.

"I'll do it myself." Avoiding Ted's touch, Xiao Hang hastily wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

I looked back at my mother, who was concentrating on cleaning the table.In fact, Ted's actions are nothing, he is too guilty.

Thirty nights, while watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating a long New Year's Eve dinner, it is almost over.I don’t know how much Ted understands those skits, cross talk, etc., but he still concentrates on watching, what a good boy.After eleven o'clock, Lan Feng went to bed first. Her life was always very regular, and she never had the habit of keeping old age.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, let's set off firecrackers." Xiao Hang picked up the firecrackers he bought, and took Ted out of the door with great interest.

Hanging the firecrackers at the door, and counting the time to light them, Xiao Hang hurriedly covered Ted's ears, Ted also pressed his hands on Xiao Hang's ears when he saw this.

After the crackling sound, both of them were a little shy about the intimate action. After arriving at Xiao Hang's house, they kept very restrained and did not have any physical contact. At this moment, Ted suddenly wanted to kiss Xiao Hang.

There was no one in the corridor, looking into Xiao Hang's eyes, Ted lowered his head and asked, "Is it okay?"

Understanding what his lover meant, Xiao Hang raised his head and quickly pecked Ted's lips, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Looking at Xiao Hang's childish expression with a smile, Ted may have been with his mother these few days, Ted suddenly felt that Xiao Hang had become smaller.Forget it, it's not easy for him to take this step for himself, so just let him go for now.Poor me, I still have to share two rooms with Xiao Hang, the long night is long, and I am almost suffering from internal injuries.

On the second day of the new year, my mother went to my uncle's house, and Xiao Hang was going to take Ted out for a stroll.

"I know there's a good place to walk."

"walk?"

"Uh... To be precise, it's suitable for couples to take a walk."

The two came to the lakeside park on the outskirts of the city and bought two tickets for 20 yuan. The weather on the second day of the new year was a bit gloomy, and there were very few tourists in the park.

Before he had gone far, Xiao Hang realized something was wrong. The park was being renovated, and the excavation was messy everywhere. The winding paths that were surrounded by ornamental flowers and trees were dug up for renovation, and wooden bridges with small bridges and flowing water were also erected. "No Access" sign.The most terrible thing is that the wooden chairs for tourists to rest by the lake are gone. The two of them walked aimlessly, and they couldn't even find a place to stay. They really came here to walk.

"I wanted to show you the beautiful gardens in Jiangnan, China. This park is too wicked. Why is it open for business after renovation?"

"It's okay, I like to stay with two people like you." Originally, the two were very close, but when they returned to China, they felt that Xiao Hang had shrunk back to the state of bound hands and feet, which made Ted a little uncomfortable. He will have a lot of time to appreciate the scenery in the future, and now he hopes to be alone with Xiao Hang.

"I'm going back to Kenya in two days. Is there anything you want to buy as a gift?"

"A gift? I don't have anyone to give it to. I don't mind if you give me a gift." The two have already picked out a thangka that has been consecrated to give to Daniel, and the others haven't found a gift yet. .

"Didn't you just give you a gift last year? You are really greedy." Speaking of which, when they returned to China this time, in order not to make their mother suspicious, neither of them dared to wear the ring.

"Am I greedy? Then can I be more greedy?" Ted turned his head and looked into Xiao Hang's eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want?" I really feel sorry for Ted for being so sneaky, Xiao Hang took a glance, but there was no one around, probably...

Ted moved his face closer to Xiao Hang, slowly lowered his face, and then... moved to Xiao Hang's ear——

"Every year from now on, you will come out with me for a walk, okay?"

"Oh, yes, if it's possible." Realizing that he might have made a mistake, Xiao Hang said in a nasty voice.Why do we have to set a date? In fact, if two people want to go out for a walk, such a simple thing can be practiced at any time.Xiao Hang knew the uneasiness in Ted's heart, and such uneasiness also existed in his own heart, but he would not easily promise if he couldn't do it.

"Oh, I really admire you, what kind of things always leave room for myself." What is the difference between such a guarantee and no guarantee?Ted sighed softly, "Then I can only ask for something else." Then he turned his head and kissed Xiao Hang.

The two wantonly asked for each other's temperature in the deserted park, as if that was the only way to calm each other's fluttering hearts.

Tomorrow is going back to Kenya, Ted went back to the guest room early to rest, leaving Xiao Hang to watch TV with Lan Feng.Watching the lengthy life drama halfway through like this, no matter how smart Xiao Hang is, it is a bit difficult to coherent, so the more I watch it, the more boring I am, the more I watch it, the more sleepy I am, just bit by bit on Xiao Hang's head, his eyes are almost closed When going up——

"What's the relationship between Ted and you?" Mom's soft words were like a heavy cannon, knocking Xiao Hang almost to his feet.

"Mom, what did you say?" Could it be that I was too sleepy and misheard.

"You and Ted are really ordinary colleagues?"

Xiao Hang lowered his head in silence, he thought he had concealed it well this time, especially in front of his mother, there was nothing leaked.But did mom still see it?That's right, knowing a son is like a mother, even if he tried his best to cover up some things, his every move, every frown and smile, even a small look in his eyes, could never be hidden from his mother who knew him well.

"Mom, if we..."

"Mom won't agree." Xiao Hang was interrupted by Lan Feng before he finished speaking.

"Mom, we really like each other." Xiao Hang looked at his mother earnestly.

"Xiaohang, my mother also watches TV and surfs the Internet. She is not a conservative person, but I cannot accept that this kind of thing happened to you."

"Mom..." Lan Feng's attitude was so firm that Xiao Hang didn't know how to refute for a while.

"Xiao Hang, deal with everything before it's irreversible. Think about it, I'm going to accompany your father." After finishing speaking, Lan Feng turned off the TV, got up and went back to the room.

Xiao Hang trembled like being immersed in an ice waterfall.His mother's attitude was very calm, she didn't yell at herself hysterically, and she didn't act more aggressively, but such a cold sentence sent him to the [-]th level of hell in an instant.Especially—before she left, she said that she was going to accompany her father. Although her mother's intention was to go back to the room and look at his father's photo, such a pun made Xiao Hang tremble with fear.After my father left, my mother was always stingy about mentioning him so as not to touch the pain of mother and child, but she said such words at this time, her meaning was already very clear. If mother scolded herself excitedly, she would even Even if he beat him up, he would never waver, but with such a hint, how could he drive his mother to a dead end?
