, asked him insincerely if he had a partner.Chu Quan evaded every time with a sloppy eye.In fact, his grandparents are quite trendy and open-minded, but Chu Quan is not sure how acceptable they are to homosexuality. Both of them are old, and Chu Quan does not want to stimulate them, so he will delay if he can.

The two parties were back and forth discussing the matter of the great-grandson secretly, Guan Qianyue passed behind him, was spotted by the elder on the opposite screen, and kept asking who it was.

Chu Quan faltered and said, "Just...a friend."

His grandfather was very happy, and his accent was obvious when he spoke anxiously: "Friends are good! Rely on your parents at home, and friends when you go out!" Ever since Chu Quan became an actor, he has never heard him mention any friends, and there is one in front of him right now. The second elder enthusiastically expressed that he wanted to talk to Chu Quan's friends.

Chu Quan hesitated: "Is this not good?"

His grandma asked back, "What's wrong?"

Chu Quan was at a loss for words, so he took off his earphones and waved to Guan Qianyue: "My grandparents want to talk to you."

Guan Qianyue was eating snacks at the coffee table, when he heard this, he crushed a crispy walnut.

Hmph, you understand my mood just now, Chu Quan thought wickedly, seeing Guan Qianyue frantically pulling his clothes and hair, he lowered his voice and explained with a smile: "I said you are my friend."

Guan Qianyue breathed a sigh of relief, and sat next to Chu Quan.Chu Quan turned on the speakerphone and pointed the camera at Guan Qianyue.

Guan Qianyue sat upright, and showed a bright smile to the two old people: "Grandpa, grandma, my name is Guan Qianyue." He added without any effort: "I am a friend of Chu Quan."

The two elderly people smiled and narrowed their eyes. Obviously, they had a good first impression of Guan Qianyue. They called "Xiaoguan" very affectionately. After a while, they made out Guan Qianyue's age and family members.Guan Qianyue didn't feel offended either, and answered any question without hesitation. The more the two old people watched, the more they liked it.

Chu Quan's grandma asked: "Xiao Guan is handsome, does he also act in TV dramas?"

Before Chu Quan could speak, Guan Qianyue immediately answered: "No grandma, I work part-time in Chu Quan's crew." Coupled with his deep expression, it is simply an inspirational story about the hard work of poor children.

Chu Quan was amused by this man's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, but Chu Quan's grandparents felt distressed instantly: "Oh, it's not easy, so you two should help each other out when you go out. Xiao Guan, You also take good care of our Quan Baoer in the crew..."

Chu Quan quickly turned the phone around so that his grandparents would not see someone who was about to burst out laughing. "Grandma, let's go!" Chu Quan's ears were as if they had been scalded by boiling water, and they were so red that they were about to bleed: "If you have nothing to say, don't talk about it."

Guan Qianyue looked at him with burning eyes, and when Chu Quan hung up, he called him, "Quan Bao'er? Bao'er?" His son's pronunciation was not very standard, and it made people panic when he heard it.

Chu Quan was ashamed and angry, and pushed him: "You are enough."

Guan Qianyue felt that no matter how he yelled, he couldn't speak as well as Chu Quan's grandma, so he kept saying it in his mouth. Later, Chu Quan was about to lose his temper, so he gave up with a chuckle.

"Did I behave well just now?"

How much this man loves to hear praise.Although Chu Quan slandered, he still said the truth: "It's pretty good."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two left for Guan's house.Chu Quan couldn't go empty-handed, so he chose two bottles of red wine to take with him.

At this time, the setting sun was just right, Guan Qianyue drove his Lamborghini vigorously, kicking the accelerator and then the brakes, shaking Chu Quan so much that he almost spit out the porridge he drank at noon.

"What's wrong?" Chu Quan thought, maybe he met that orange cat again.

"Look, Chu Quan," Guan Qianyue lowered the window glass on the driver's side, and said enthusiastically, "There are a lot of ants outside!"

Guan Qianyue is a miraculous person, Chu Quan has always known it, but at this moment he still couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth: "...huh?"

"It's going to rain when the ants move." Guan Qianyue analyzed logically, then glanced at the sky, and said to himself, "Will it rain tomorrow?"

He was thinking about the weather seriously, his brows were furrowed, and the peaks of his eyebrows were raised obliquely, forming an angle that made his heart beat faster.Chu Quan felt a heat in his chest, and couldn't help laughing, "You still know this?"

"I know," Guan Qianyue blinked at him, "I went to elementary school in China."

Because Mr. Guan wanted to see ants on a whim, the two delayed for a while before leaving.Fortunately, there were no vehicles on the street, and the road was unimpeded.

The Guan family's house is on a hill on the outskirts of the city. City S is very mountainous. Many years ago, Guan Yongxu's parents bought a small hill and built a villa by themselves.

Chu Quan got out of the car and looked around, and couldn't help sighing: "The scenery is so beautiful."

"Well," Guan Qianyue pointed to the lush trees not far away, and said, "I caught wild rabbits in it when I was a child. I don't know if there are any more. We can go and have a look when we have a chance."

Chu Quan nodded.He followed Guan Qianyue into the house, and found that the decoration in the villa was not as magnificent as he had imagined, but rather quaint, probably because it was a few years old.

Guan Chi was sitting in the living room, reading a newspaper.Seeing the two of them, he got up and said, "Chu Quan is here."

Chu Quan was always a bit cautious when facing Guan Chi, remembering that he said last time that it was fine to call him big brother, so he smiled and called him big brother.

Guan Chi smiled slightly, but Guan Qianyue was not happy: "Why do you call him big brother? I don't call him. He is taking advantage of you!"

Guan Chi smiled more and more kindly: "I remember you still owe me hundreds of millions..."

"Stingy ghost." Guan Qianyue tugged at Chu Quan's arm: "Let's go, let me show you around, don't stay with him."

They went to the kitchen to say hello to Guan Shuyi and Li Xiuling who were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, exchanged a few words, and then walked around the villa.

The Guan family has the idea of ​​"occupying the mountain as the king", and the hills are well-maintained.A few fitness equipments were set up not far from the swimming pool, and a vegetable garden was opened up to the north.

The cold and fresh air makes people feel good, Guan Qianyue suddenly felt: "This is quite suitable for the elderly."

Chu Quan gave an "um" to show his agreement.

"When the time comes, tell my parents to let them leave this house to me." Guan Qianyue imagined the future: "We will retire here at that time."

Chu Quan was noncommittal, but felt that the wind that passed his ears suddenly became less piercing and lingering, like a gentle whisper.

Because Li Xiuling and Liu Haipeng wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala, they started eating New Year's Eve dinner at seven o'clock.Guan Qianyue's parents were away, and no one was admonishing him, so the atmosphere was generally relaxed.

Guan Qianyue always liked to provoke Guan Shuyi, and the two of them started bickering during the dinner.Li Xiuling and Liu Haipeng didn't talk much, they just watched with smiles.Guan Chi and Chu Quan chatted about film production, the development of the entertainment industry and other topics, and the red wine in the glass soon bottomed out.

When Guan Chi proposed to open another bottle, Guan Qianyue gave his brother a dissatisfied look: "Okay, don't drink him."

I don't know what came to mind, he suddenly smiled again: "It's okay to open another bottle, Chu Quan should drink more."

Seeing his unusually bright eyes, Chu Quan knew that there was a conspiracy. He put down his glass and said, "Mr. Guan, why don't you stop drinking today."

Guan Chi nodded: "Alright."

Guan Qianyue originally wanted to see Chu Quan get drunk once, but the trick failed, so he shook his head exaggeratedly and sighed: "You people."

After the Spring Festival Gala started, four juniors watched TV with two old people.At this time, large-scale New Year greetings had already begun, and their mobile phones kept ringing one after another.

Li Xiuling chased them away: "Go and play with yours, and you don't like to watch this, what are you doing with us?"

That's what they said, but no one left.Chu Quan replied to the New Year wishes one by one, and sometimes he looked up at the TV a few times, and touched Guan Qianyue with his elbow: "Is that singer from your company?"

Guan Qianyue often glanced perfunctorily, and said uncertainly, "Maybe."

Guan Shuyi deliberately slapped him, and said to Guan Chi worriedly: "I don't even know who the company has signed. I'm really worried about Guangya."

"What do you know, little kid!" Guan Qianyue exploded immediately: "I am concerned about the general direction of development, so what if I can't remember these little things."

In his heart, Chu Quan actually agreed with Guan Qianyue's statement, but he didn't say anything, and watched another big battle from the sidelines.

At eleven o'clock, Guan Qianyue stretched, put his hands on Chu Quan's shoulders, and suggested, "Let's go set off the fireworks."

Guan Shuyi immediately said: "It's almost thirty and the fireworks will be set off, can you be more mature."

"What's the matter? Who stipulated that setting off fireworks is immature?"

Chu Quan was afraid that the siblings would quarrel again, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."

Guan Qianyue looked smug, and walked out holding Chu Quan's wrist, not forgetting to turn around and stab his sister: "Single dogs always suffer and hate deeply."

Chu Quan was surprised when Guan Qianyue took out a bunch of fireworks from the trunk: "When did you buy it?"

"A few days ago," Guan Qianyue explained, probably because Guan Shuyi said he was naive and wanted to save face, "I haven't been back to China for the New Year for many years, let's reminisce about my childhood."

Chu Quan looked at it for a while under the dim moonlight, and couldn't help laughing: "Sky Pao, Fire Tree Silver Flower, Butterfly Feifei...what are these names?"

"You don't know, I was only embarrassed when I bought it." Guan Qianyue gestured joyfully, without any embarrassment at all.

There is a lot of open space and few trees in the vegetable garden, which is suitable for setting off fireworks.The two walked over carrying a box of "Fire Tree Silver Flowers", a dozen "Sky Cannons", and several boxes of "Butterfly Feifei".

Chu Quan hadn't touched these things for a long time, and felt a long-lost novelty.When he was a child, his parents didn't buy him fireworks, only his grandpa and grandpa secretly bought them for him to play with.Once Chu Hanlin saw Chu Quan playing cannons and scolded, "Can you stop making people worry about it?" Chu Quan never played again.

Guan Qianyue took a sky cannon for himself and Chu Quan, and said: "This one has six rounds, and the red, green and green ones are very beautiful. It's just that the recoil is a bit strong, so hold on tight."

"I know." Chu Quan was a little excited: "Don't lift it straight, you have to angle it, otherwise the dust will fall all over you."

Guan Qianyue was slightly astonished, but he quickly smiled, adjusted the direction of his arms, and handed a lighter to Chu Quan: "Let's go together."

The vibration when the gunpowder was shot was transmitted along the arm to the heart, Chu Quan opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but let out an "oh".

Bang, boom, boom.One after another, the bright red fireballs rushed to the sky, and then exploded with a "crack", forming clusters of colorful dazzling light spots.

Guan Qianyue whistled loudly, and he disturbed the quiet hilltop to be extremely lively.Chu Quan didn't bluff like him, but just raised his head quietly, with the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a little bit of teeth.

The last firework exploded, Guan Qianyue dropped what was in his hand, hugged Chu Quan and kissed him.The red and green light quickly changed and disappeared on each other's faces. It was a very short and very long kiss.

They put a few more sky cannons and started playing "Flying Butterfly".Butterfly Feifei is a small firework with a delicate paper butterfly glued on it.When it is ignited and thrown out, it will rotate first, and then explode after the fuse is burned out. The fireworks that explode are very dazzling.

"This is beautiful." Guan Qianyue commented: "It's just that the name is too ugly."

After a while, the people in the villa came out and stood neatly aside to watch them play.

"Hey," Guan Qianyue gave his sister a disgusted look, "Do you want to play?"

Chu Quan also saw that Guan Shuyi wanted to play.He was afraid that the girl would lose face, so he also chimed in and said, "It's quite fun, let's try it."

Guan Shuyi hesitated for a while, then asked Guan Chi: "Brother, do you want to play?"

"I don't play." Guan Chi said, "You go, I'll take pictures for you."

Guan Shuyi followed their example and ignited the fuse, but because she was unskilled or nervous, she threw it away in panic amidst Guan Qianyue's roar when it was half burned.The little butterfly landed not far away, and turned back towards Guan Shuyi's direction.

"You haven't eaten!" Guan Qianyue cursed, ran over a few steps to push Guan Shuyi away, and then with a "bang", the fireworks exploded next to his ankle.

Although it would be exaggerated to the point of hypocrisy when I think about it after a long time, at that moment Chu Quan felt that his heart was also torn apart.

Guan Shuyi staggered two steps and said in shock, "Second Brother, are you alright?"

Guan Qianyue sat on the muddy floor and hissed in some embarrassment.Chu Quan was the first to rush over, squatting down tremblingly. In the dark night, he couldn't see whether Guan Qianyue was seriously injured. His hands stopped in the air for a while, but he still didn't dare to touch his ankle.

"Turn on the flashlight!" Guan Chi also rushed over: "How are you doing? Can you still leave?"

"It's okay." Guan Qianyue grabbed Chu Quan's hand and shook it vigorously: "What are you making such a fuss about? It's just a little gunpowder. The socks are thick, so they didn't hurt much."

Guan Shuyi turned on the flashlight and saw a scorched black circle on Guan Qianyue's white sock.Li Xiuling yelled in panic: "Go back and have a look!"

Chu Quan carried Guan Qianyue's arms and walked towards the villa. Perhaps it was because of the extra weight on his shoulders that he couldn't breathe.He asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit." Guan Qianyue gasped for breath, her breath was scalding hot.He calmed down for a while, kissed Chu Quan's earlobe, and said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt now."

Going back to the villa was another toss.Fortunately, after Guan Qianyue took off his socks, the wound was not as scary as imagined, and it seemed that he did not hurt his tendons.Li Xiuling stopped the bleeding and disinfected him, and wrapped him in several layers of gauze.

Guan Shuyi stood beside her guiltily and distressedly. She wanted to go forward but dared not, so she had to watch from the outermost side.

"Why are you so sad," Guan Qianyue said to her, "You can get hurt if you play with a cannon, you're so stupid."

Guan Shuyi's eyes were red, she wanted to cry but forced herself to hold back, and said viciously: "You are stupid!"

Maybe Guan Shuyi's emotions were too strong, which aroused some mysterious resonance in Chu Quan's heart.He felt his nose was a little sour, so he turned to the TV and said, "The countdown has begun."

Everyone sat down around Guan Qianyue, next to each other.Guan Qianyue lay half of his body on Chu Quan's back, stroking his fingers back and forth on his shoulder blades.

The second hand turned to twelve o'clock, and cheers burst out.Chu Quan was the first to turn his head to look at Guan Qianyue, and then met those passionate eyes as expected.

Everyone smiled and said Happy New Year, but there were always one or two different sounds, like a secret agreement.

16

Chu Quan lived in Guan's house for two days. The three brothers and sisters of the Guan family were going to pay New Year's greetings to their uncle in the early morning of the second day of junior high school. He couldn't stay long, so he said goodbye and went home.

Guan Qianyue originally wanted to take him with him, but Chu Quan repeatedly refused.It's unnerving when things move too fast, and he's a little lost on himself now, and doesn't want to complicate the situation further.

The villa was obviously disturbed not long ago, the windows were clean and spotless, and the refrigerator was full of drinks, snacks, meat and vegetables.When he was filming on the set, Guan Qianyue should have lived here all the time.

This guess made Chu Quan feel strange and contradictory.On the one hand, I feel uneasy because my original lifestyle has been subtly changed, and on the other hand, I want to get rid of the old and boring past, so I have implicit expectations for change.

When I was with Yu Zeyang before, it seemed that I didn't have so many troubles, and I didn't have so much happiness.

Chu Quan half-lyed on the sofa drinking yogurt, his thoughts wandering endlessly.He had to start work again the next day, he didn't want to exercise or play games, he just wanted to lie down like this forever.

But today is destined not to pass safely.Chu Quan didn't know how long he closed his eyes and rested, maybe an hour, or two hours, and then the doorbell rang.

He doesn't have any relatives in S city, so it's really strange that someone will come to visit on the second day of the new year.At first, Chu Quan thought it was Guan Qianyue's mischief, and deliberately tricked him into opening the door, so he also lay down motionless with the intention of teasing him.

The doorbell paused for a while, then rang again.Chu Quan yawned, reluctantly got up from the sofa, and opened the door a crack.

Standing outside the door was a man in his fifties with gray hair and a pair of rimless glasses.Even though his skin is loose and slightly old, his appearance is still gentle and elegant, which is similar to that of Chu
