When Liang Xincheng returned to Beijing, it was the first snow of the year.
After getting out of the airport, as soon as he got in the nanny car, he sent a WeChat to Xia Yuanhang to report his safety, and the other side quickly replied: “It’s good you’ve arrived, go back and rest well.”
Liang Xincheng raised the corners of her lips. His gaze turned to the window as he sent another voice message to Xia Yuanhang: “It’s snowing in Beijing today, it’s a pity you’re not here.”
The snow falling outside the window was very beautiful. Liang Xincheng liked to watch the snow, but it was a pity that the person whom he wanted to see it together was not here now. Xia Yuanhang went out of town to attend an event and had not yet returned.
“I’ll be back tomorrow, wait for me.”
Liang Xincheng smiled softly, “Okay”
Even after the movie was finished, Liang Xincheng’s work still didn’t end. The day after he returned to Beijing, he entered another studio again to shoot a set of advertising photos.
This time, the promotional photos were in sexy style. The photographer was a foreigner with a great level of professionalism, pointing out hand in hand Liang Xincheng’s movements, demeanor, and eyes, as he constantly pressed the shutter. His praise for Liang Xincheng was endless, always saying that he was cute, beautiful, and sexy, while looking at Liang Xincheng with a focused and revealing gaze.
Liang Xincheng was a little uncomfortable, so he could only assume that the other party was fully committed to work. He did not show that discomfort and only cooperated with the photographer as much as possible.
The photoshoot went on all day and it was not until the evening that work was over. Before it was over, Xia Yuanhang’s phone call came in, Liang Xincheng took the phone from his assistant and went to the corridor outside the studio to answer it.
“Where are you now?”
“Shooting promotional photos, what’s wrong?”
“How long will it take to finish?”
“Soon, half an hour at the most.”
“Send me the address, I’ll go pick you up.” Xia Yuanhang’s voice was a little urgent, Liang Xincheng did not think much about it; he hung up the phone and sent the location to him.
He put away the phone and turned around, only to see the photographer who came out for coffee was looking at him with a playful smile on his face. Liang Xincheng nodded at him and was about to go into the studio when the other party stopped him: “I want to make an appointment1appointment as in one night stand and the like with you, are you willing?”
Liang Xincheng: “….”
The photographer raised an eyebrow.
“Sorry I don’t do appointment”
“Why? Can’t you accept men?”
Liang Xincheng smiled: “My boyfriend will come to pick me up later, I’m loyal to him, sorry.”
The photographer nodded with understanding: “That’s a pity, but if you break up in the future, you can always contact me.”
“That’s probably impossible. I won’t break up with him.”
Xia Yuanhang had already arrived when all the photoshoot was finished. In the parking lot downstairs, Liang Xincheng sent his assistant to the nanny’s car and went downstairs excitedly.
As soon as he got in the car, Xia Yuanhang held his hand firmly. If it wasn’t for a public place, he might have hugged him directly. Xia Yuanhang seemed a little excited, and was about to say something when someone knocked on the window glass of the passenger seat.
Liang Xincheng turned his head to see that it was the photographer. He pressed the car window, and the man outside the car looked at Xia Yuanhang and smiled at Liang Xincheng: “Your boyfriend is indeed very handsome, no wonder you care about him so much.”
Leaving these words behind, he took his leave and left, and the two people in the car fell into an awkward silence at the same time. Liang Xincheng wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xia Yuanhang just as he opened his mouth. Xia Yuanhang, who was still holding his hand, said in a little panic: “I really have nothing to do with Yan Mingxin. She also went to Shenzhen yesterday to work, and we happened to stay in the same hotel, so we went to dinner together. I didn’t expect to be photographed when I returned to the hotel. Except for walking into the hotel together, everything else was made up by reporters, don’t believe it.”
Liang Xincheng frowned: “What are you talking about? You’ve been caught on negative news again?”
“Didn’t you see it?”
Liang Xincheng really hadn’t seen it yet. He had been shooting all day and did not look at his phone at all. After listening to what Xia Yuanhang said, he took out his phone and opened Weibo to look at it. Sure enough, it was the same paparazzi studio that seemed to be on a warpath with Xia Yuanhang. What broke out this time was the scandal between him and Yan Mingxin. It was indeed very ambiguous to live in the same hotel or something like that when they were out of the city. Not to mention that the two of them had been rumored for a long time.
Xia Yuanhang’s studio had issued a statement to refute the rumors, but not many people believed it. Most people still thought that there was something between Xia Yuanhang and Yan Mingxin, and he didn’t care about it. As soon as he got back to Beijing and got off the plane, he rushed straight to Liang Xincheng. The only thing he was worried about was that Liang Xincheng would misunderstand.
Liang Xincheng was still reading the various comments on Weibo with his two eyebrows slightly knitted as if not too happy. Xia Yuanhang looked at him somewhat nervously. Although he and Yan Mingxin really had nothing, he knew that Liang Xincheng minded this.
After a while, Liang Xincheng locked the screen and calmly reminded Xia Yuanhang, “Drive.”
The car drove out from the underground parking lot and merged into the rolling traffic. No one spoke again. Xia Yuanhang turned his head to glance at Liang Xincheng who was beside him from time to time while driving, he hesitated to speak, Liang Xincheng stared at the slowly receding street scene outside the car window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Just now…he was joking, don’t take it to heart.”
Liang Xincheng’s voice was a little muffled, still looking out the window when he spoke, as if he was wronged.
Finally, when he opened his mouth, he was talking about this. Xia Yuanhang drove the car to the side of the road where there were few people, slammed on the brakes and turned off the engine. Unbuckling the seatbelt, he turned around and hugged Liang Xincheng tightly.
Liang Xincheng was startled, he never expected Xia Yuanhang would be so bold to hug him on the main road.
“Don’t move, it’s okay. There are so few people here, no one will notice it.” Xia Yuanhang tightened his hand, stopping Liang Xincheng’s subconscious struggle, and whispered in his ear, “Just hug for a while.”
Liang Xincheng stopped moving, his voice still muffled: “What are we…”
“I really have nothing to do with Yan Mingxin, the person I like is you…Xincheng, I have not forgotten what happened that night in Macau, I always remember it. You asked me before why I didn’t take responsibility for you. I’m telling you now I like you, love you. I want to be responsible for you, can you give me a chance?”
Liang Xincheng leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes: “Are you serious?”
Xia Yuanhang pulled up the hood of Liang Xincheng’s down jacket, wrapped Liang Xincheng around him and turned his head sideways close to him, kissing him on the lips.
Liang Xincheng finally smiled. He raised his hand to hook Xia Yuanhang’s neck, and opened his lips against him.
Their lips and tongues entangled, out of control, and the two of them were enthralled with each other’s breath and temperature, only ambiguous gasps and sticky water sounds remained in the confined space.
Twenty minutes later, Xia Yuanhang drove the car back to the main road again, turning the steering wheel with one hand, and clasped Liang Xincheng tightly with the other hand, rubbing each other’s palms.
Liang Xincheng licked his bitten lips with a red face and couldn’t help but laugh.
They were so bold just now that they got carried away with kissing on the main road, but he was really happy.
Outside the window, the snow was gradually falling again, and Liang Xincheng looked at it and sighs softly: “It’s so beautiful.”
“You like it?”
“Well, it’s nice to see.”
“Go home and watch it with you.”
The word ‘go home’ sounded particularly sweet, and the corners of Liang Xincheng’s lips rose even more.
While waiting for the traffic light, Liang Xincheng’s fingers lightly hooked Xia Yuanhang’s palm. When Xia Yuanhang looked over, he pointed to the convenience store on the roadside outside the window and vaguely said, “Let’s go buy something, that something…”
Xia Yuanhang quickly understood. He squeezed his hand and pulled over again before putting on the hat and mask: “I’ll go buy it, just wait a while.”
After Xia Yuanhang finished speaking, he got out of the car. Liang Xincheng lowered his head and chuckled, his boyfriend… he was really his boyfriend, ah.
