before and after

When the earthquake happened, Liang Xiao had just finished sending a text message to Ye Ruixin, and then felt the shaking of the ground.At first Liang Xiao thought it was just an illusion, but soon more violent shocks followed.Liang Xiao was aware of the danger of the matter, and without hesitation, he immediately ran towards the stadium in his memory.

The violent earthquake instantly destroyed the surrounding roads, and Liang Xiao was almost injured several times because of the collapse of trees.During the escape, Liang Xiao's cell phone was lost on the way, and he suffered several bruises on his body.Fortunately, when Liang Xiao arrived at the stadium safely, the strongest aftershock struck again.

When the earthquake was released, most people in the city were still asleep. It was not until an hour later that a large number of survivors escaped from their homes and concentrated on the stadium.The government set the stadium as a temporary refuge and emergency center. After Liang Xiao revealed his identity as a doctor, he immediately joined the ranks of rescuers.

The casualties caused by the earthquake were more tragic than expected.What other people saw on TV was not half as bad as what Liang Xiao saw with his own eyes.The wounded are constantly being sent here, and the locker rooms in the stadium are used as temporary operating rooms.All the doctors in the whole town gathered here, and Liang Xiao could no longer count the corpses and wreckage he saw.One operation after another, Liang Xiao stood on the operating table non-stop for two whole days.He didn't stop for a minute to rest, except for water and food.

Later, Liang Xiu tried every means to enter the disaster area and found the stadium, but because Liang Xiao joined the rescue team at the very beginning, his name was not on the list of survivors.Around noon today, the emergency repair team finally repaired the road, and a large number of medical teams entered the disaster area with equipment and volunteers assembled from all over the country. Liang Xiao finally stepped off the operating table in peace.

When the local government learned that Liang Xiao was not a local resident, he immediately arranged for Liang Xiao to follow the logistics vehicle to the next city, and provided proof that he could take a plane back to his place of residence.The call that Ye Ruixin didn't receive was from Liang Xiao at the airport.Before the plane took off, Liang Xiao bought simple toiletries to tidy up the beard that hadn't been shaved for two days, and changed his clothes.Liang Xiao didn't want Ye Ruixin to see himself in a bad state and make him worry more.

Ye Ruixin's emotions gradually calmed down after crying.Looking at Ye Ruixin and Liang Xiao, he felt extremely at ease.What followed was a sense of exhaustion.More than two hours of sleep on the plane was useless to the nearly three days of sleeplessness, Liang Xiao took Ye Ruixin into his arms again, and this time it was Liang Xiao who relied on him.

"I'm so tired, sleep with me for a while."

This was the first time Liang Xiao lay down and fell asleep without changing his coat.He was really tired and fell asleep in less than a minute.Ye Ruixin lay beside Liang Xiao, listening to the even breathing.He even carefully avoided moving, for fear of waking Liang Xiao up.

Ye Ruixin put his hand on Liang Xiao's chest, and he could really feel Liang Xiao's body temperature and heartbeat under his palm.Enjoying the comfort and fatigue that had never happened in the past few days, Ye Ruixin soon fell into a deep sleep with Liang Xiao.

It should have been several hours before he regained consciousness.Ye Ruixin didn't open his eyes immediately, a numb sense of burnout came from his motionless body, as if he had lost his body and was floating gently.After wiggling her toes slightly in the bed, Ye Ruixin slowly moved her body to lean against Liang Xiao.

At this time, Liang Xiao had woken up for a while, half lying on the bed and using his laptop.Sensing Ye Ruixin's movement, Liang Xiao stroked his hair.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

"I applied for a MarriageLicense [marriage certificate], and the judge still has a slot tomorrow afternoon."

Ye Ruixin had just woken up at this time, obviously he didn't understand Liang Xiao's words clearly immediately.Looking at Ye Ruixin's unresponsive expression, Liang Xiao said solemnly:

"Whether it's good or bad, I hope the first person to get the news is you."

After hesitating for two seconds, Ye Ruixin raised his head and looked into Liang Xiao's eyes.He was clearly wide awake, and the sharpness returned to him.

"Are you proposing tome?"

【Are you proposing to me? 】

Liang Xiao knew that Ye Ruixin would only speak English when she was shy or deliberately concealing it.Cantonese came out involuntarily when he was excited or talking to himself.

"Yes."

"And you've made my decision forme."

[And you made the decision for me? 】

"Yes."

The smiles of the two interviewed deepened with the two "Yes".Ye Ruixin nodded, got up, moved to Liang Xiao's lips, and pecked lightly.

"Fine."

Then they got up as usual.Liang Xiao took less time to wash up than Ye Ruixin, and the extra time was just enough to prepare breakfast downstairs.After breakfast, Liang Xiao printed out the Marriage License Application downloaded from the computer and filled it in with a pen.Ye Ruixin sat on the side and watched Liang Xiao seriously fill in the information of the two people, and asked:

"How long have you been using this pen?"

"My grandfather gave it to me when I was in junior high school..." Calculating silently in his heart, Liang Xiao said while writing, "It's been more than ten years."

"Is this the same one we used when we first met in the library?"

"Ah."

"Then do you want to take this pen to sign?"

"Nice suggestion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Xiao stopped what he was doing.After reading the words on the form for a while, Liang Xiao looked up at Ye Ruixin.

"It needs to be refilled."

Ye Ruixin leaned over to look, only to find that he wrote his original name.

"stupid."

"Because of this name, it is printed here."

When he said "here", Liang Xiao pointed to the position of his heart with a pen.Ye Ruixin couldn't help laughing at Liang Xiao's move.After reprinting a form with the computer, Ye Ruixin went to the printer and waited.

"When did you become so talkative?"

Liang Xiao walked towards Ye Ruixin and hugged him from behind.Watch their future emerge with him.

"From debates with you again and again."

Ye Ruixin turned around, they were almost close to each other, so Ye Ruixin deliberately looked at Liang Xiao's lips and asked, "Apart from these, what else?"

This time it was Liang Xiao's turn to smile, he lowered his head and kissed Ye Ruixin's lips, and said while kissing, "What do you think?"

"Didn't you just say that you are going to buy something and have a good meal at night..."

"Well, we're going out." Liang Xiao wrapped his arms around Ye Ruixin's waist and said before the next kiss fell, "We can hurry up."

"Wouldn't it be better to take your time?"

Ye Ruixin spoke slowly and frivolously, her eyes became soft and charming with lust.

"it is good."

As he spoke, Liang Xiao stroked the back of Ye Ruixin's neck, and kissed again as delicate as powder.It was an extremely long and lingering kiss, and they were inseparable from it.

Indulging in endless lust, Ye Ruixin recalled a sentence he had read in his mind:

"When he loves someone, his heart is filled with great compassion like a Buddha. In the person he loves, he will find the shadow of God."

After being tender, the two cuddled together and slept for a while.By the time the two of them went out, it was almost evening.Ye Ruixin put on the seat belt on the co-pilot, and now there are still those dense feelings in his body.So he lowered the window, exposing his skin to the cool breeze.

After glancing at Ye Ruixin who was looking out the window, Liang Xiao started the car.

"What are you thinking about?"

Turning his eyes back from the window, Ye Ruixin looked at Liang Xiao lazily.

"Reminisce."

"Ah."

Liang Xiao agreed with Ye Ruixin's point of view.Even though he thinks that the sex between them is highly compatible and almost always has a very good experience, but the one just now should be called perfect, and it is indeed memorable enough.

"Hmm what?" This time it was Ye Ruixin's turn to ask.

Ye Ruixin's questioning disappeared from the rational analysis just now, and what appeared in Liang Xiao's mind was an emotional picture instead.Liang Xiao didn't answer, and there was a hint of shyness in his smile, which actually looked a bit like his appearance in college.

Ye Ruixin really wanted to take off her seat belt and kiss Liang Xiao's reddish ears, but she had to give up because it was too late.In order not to continue to stir up her lust, Ye Ruixin smiled and turned her head out of the window, humming a little tune.

They came to the largest commercial center in this block.When he was about to walk to the parking lot, Liang Xiao suggested to buy some after-dinner desserts, such as cakes.Ye Ruixin wanted to drink sugar water after hearing the words, so they decided that Liang Xiao would go to buy ingredients, and Ye Ruixin would go to the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on the next street to buy some sugar water.

After Ye Ruixin left, Liang Xiao quickly walked into the shopping mall.He wanted to surprise Ye Ruixin, so he made the suggestion just now.Time is running out now, he must finish everything before Ye Ruixin comes back.

Liang Xiao went straight into a jewelry store and chose a pair of wedding rings for tomorrow's registration.With limited time, he chose one of the most classic styles.You can use an engagement diamond ring to propose to a girl, but what to use for a boy makes Liang Xiao a little embarrassed.After hesitating, Liang Xiao finally bought the ring, but the style was more complicated and delicate than the wedding ring.

The lights of the jewelry store reflected the most beautiful light, looking at the ring in his hand, he remembered Ye Ruixin's pair of cuff studs and collar clips at home.Liang Xiao felt a little sweet in his heart, he could imagine Ye Ruixin wearing this ring, this style should be quite suitable.Without any packaging, Liang Xiao put the two ring boxes directly into his pockets, and the loose coat he specially chose could hardly tell that he had put anything in it.

Then Liang Xiao rushed to the food store quickly, he didn't make too many choices.Shop at adjacent counters whenever possible.In this way, when Ye Ruixin called over after buying desserts, Liang Xiao was about to pay the bill, and the time was just right.

The two carried two big bags of food and walked towards the parking lot.

Liang Xiao was a little grateful for the warmer weather, otherwise he was afraid that he would habitually take Ye Ruixin's hand and put it in his pocket, and then all the secrets would be exposed in advance.Ye Ruixin would probably scold herself with a smile, or she might be blushing and shy.

These boundless imaginations kept appearing in Liang Xiao's mind.

Throughout the night, Liang Xiao kept his superficial normality, prepared dinner with Ye Ruixin, and then chatted about various topics in a relaxed manner.But his heart has not been able to settle down.I always think of the ring in my coat pocket from time to time, and get nervous about the "surprise" that is approaching.

A whole bottle of red wine was slowly drank by the two at midnight.Finally going to the next stage.

"You go take a shower first, I'll clean up."

"Ah."

Liang Xiao pretended to put the dinner plate on the table into the sink, but he paid close attention to the sound in the bathroom.After hearing the slight sound of water, Liang Xiao washed his hands and took out all the candles in the cupboard.

Liang Xiao remembered that there were some candles here.Although the colors and styles are different, they can create a romantic atmosphere to some extent.Liang Xiao had no chance to prepare new ones. If Ye Ruixin found out about the specially purchased candles, he would definitely guess everything.Being with smart people can sometimes be an annoyance.

The candles were arranged in a heart shape uninspired, Liang Xiao lit them one by one and turned off the lights.It usually takes Ye Ruixin more than half an hour to take a bath, and what Liang Xiao waits for at the end is the constant restlessness of his heart.

Looking at the orange light in front of his eyes, Liang Xiao thought carefully about all the throbbing that Ye Ruixin brought to him.This thumping and restless heart just jumped so happily because of him.Thinking of the separation and reunion with Ye Ruixin, Liang Xiao felt how lucky he was.He sincerely thanked God for his blessings, but he didn't know what else he could do but love the one he loved with all his might.

"Liang Xiao?"

Seeing the light in the dim downstairs, Ye Ruixin yelled while wiping her wet hair.Liang Xiao didn't answer, but walked out from the side.Opening the ring box tightly in his hand, Liang Xiao put one knee in front of Ye Ruixin's eyes.

"Marry me..."

Candlelight tinkled in front of their eyes, and the gentle orange light painted bright outlines on Ye Ruixin's wet hair and clear eyes, blending into this vivid trance.Ye Ruixin stopped in front of Liang Xiao. He didn't speak or take Liang Xiao's ring, but knelt down and took out a ring box from the pocket of the bathrobe and slowly opened it.

Liang Xiao was surprised to see another pair of diamond-encrusted men's rings in Ye Ruixin's hands.

The happiness of such a coincidence made them stare at each other, laugh and cry, and then hug each other tightly, buried by boundless happiness.

"When did you buy the ring?"

"When you pushed me away on purpose."

"Guessed early?"

"No. I wanted to buy a ring at first, but I just pushed the boat along."

"I still have a pair of wedding rings in my pocket, now I have two pairs."

"Your pair must not be as good-looking as mine. This is a limited commemorative model, and I have been picking it for a long time." Saying that, Ye Ruixin took off the engagement ring from Liang Xiao's ring box and handed it to Liang Xiao, who asked Liang Xiao to wear it himself. On her middle finger, "Your pair will be changed when we get married."

"Ah."

It was suddenly difficult for Liang Xiao to describe how he felt at this moment. It was just that there was such a small metal ring, everything was quietly different.They seemed to be getting closer to each other, to have each other more.Liang Xiao looked down at the small metal ring and stroked it with his hands.Ye Ruixin held Liang Xiao's hand tightly, and the moment his eyes met, he said:

"Liang Xiao, I love you."
