Qucheng has always been in a light sleep, and woke up before dawn.

When he opened his eyes, Xu Cinian was still lying in his arms and slept deeply. He curled up in a ball under the quilt, covering his stomach tightly, as if he was a little chilled.

Qu Cheng pressed the quilt up, and hugged Xu Cinian even more into his arms. In his sleep, Xu Cinian was dazed, and subconsciously leaned in the direction of the heat source, shoving his feet into Qu Cheng’s body. In the crevices of the legs, the coldness was not warmed all night.

How could this peacock be so incapable of taking care of himself? He’s so big, he’s like a child when he’s asleep.

Qu Cheng felt a little distressed. He clamped his feet between his legs, hugged him in front of his chest, surrounded him with a protector attitude, and stared down at Xu Cinian’s sleeping face, from the narrow eyes to the tall ones. The bridge of the nose finally landed on the thin lips.

Only the sleeping Xu Cinian would take off his usual hard disguise. He looked very lazy, but his slightly frowning brows seemed to have something on his mind. Qu Cheng couldn’t figure it out, so he stretched out his hand to help him smooth the lines. , also reached out and gently raised Xu Cinian’s mouth, trying to make him happy.

Basically, he wakes up first every morning, so he has seen Xu Cinian asleep countless times, but even after watching it so many times, he still doesn’t get tired of it. The quiet appearance, or the sudden bad temper when he woke up, he was happy with it, and he wished that the two of them would hug each other for a lifetime, and it was considered to be old together.

This silly thought made Qu Cheng laugh himself. He stretched his brows, lowered his head and kissed Xu Cinian’s lips, quietly stood up, and reached for the mobile phone in his pocket.

He has always been on 24 hours a day, because sometimes many things in the gang will be reported to him at night, and he has also developed the habit of retrieving information early in the morning.

Unlocking the screen, he saw the text message from Yue Zhao at a glance, and he asked, “My heart is on the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.” Is this sentence still valid?”

Qu Cheng sneered, and was about to delete the text message, but his finger paused on the delete button, but he didn’t press it, and instead replied with a text message, [Xiao Yue, I think I made it clear what happened yesterday. If you agree with that, then everyone is happy, the other sorry I can’t do it.]

The text message was lost in the sea, and there was no reply from Yue Zhao, which made Qu Cheng relieved. He looked down at Xu Cinian’s sleeping face, and felt a sense of guilt and unease in his heart.

He remembered the meeting he had with Yue Zhao yesterday.

Speaking of Yue Zhao, Qu Cheng’s feelings for him are very complicated, mixed with family affection and kindness, but there is no love, but no one believes this at all.

When he first followed Brother Long into society, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Before he finished his studies, he followed a bunch of gangsters to fight and kill in the street. Brother Long was just over his thirties at that time. When the limelight was in full swing, he watched him fight ruthlessly and desperately, so he picked him at a glance and asked him to fight with himself.

At that time, the Qinglong Gang was already a well-known big gang in the S city, and they accepted all kinds of transactions for killing people and stealing goods, but a triad leader like Long Ge had a very precious younger brother, who was a mother and a father since childhood. It can be said to be the little ancestor of the Qing Long Gang. In order to protect this little ancestor from being hurt by the enemy, Brother Long arranged for more than a dozen brothers to serve him as bodyguards 24 hours a day, including Qu Cheng.

Yue Zhao was only a seven or eight-year-old child at that time. He had just started elementary school. He had an inexplicable admiration for a teenage boy like Qu Cheng, so he had been following him like a little follower. Brother is also very relieved to give his brother to him.

It was not until Qu Cheng became an adult that the brothers in the gang began to introduce women to him, and he realized that compared with those plump, plump women, he preferred clean and tough men, so he told the people in the gang directly, It also saves them from always stuffing women with him.

As a result, as soon as the news leaked, it reached Yue Zhao’s ears for some unknown reason. At that time, when he was also ignorant, he faintly felt that he had a crush on Qu Cheng, so he simply told others that Qu Cheng liked himself and for himself he became gay, and suddenly the whole gang thought that the two were a couple, but God knew that Qu Cheng only regarded him as his younger brother, and had no other thoughts at all.

After the misunderstanding spread, Qu Cheng explained it tens of thousands of times, and his lips were thinned, and no one believed that, using the logic of the rough guys in the gang at that time, the two big men were gay, and they grew up together since childhood. Big, the same in and out, not just a pair of ghosts.

At the end of the explanation, Qu Cheng was also annoyed, so he just kept his mouth shut and said whatever others liked. Anyway, he thought that Yue Zhao was still young, and he would not pester him when he met someone he liked in the future, good for both.

It’s a pity that Brother Long got liver cancer before the day when it was fully explained. By the time it was found out, it was already in the late stage, and even Da Luo couldn’t save it.

Brother Long, who was lying on the hospital bed, was just like Liu Bei’s care for Gu, who handed Yue Zhao into the hands of Qu Cheng, and said angrily, “I was against the two of you before, but now I’m dying, Qu Cheng, you have to take good care of Yue Yue, beg Brother Long…”

At that time, Qu Cheng had no excuse to refuse, Brother Long rescued his parents and cultivated him to this day, he couldn’t watch his benefactor die. He can only grit his teeth against this responsibility.

But the heavy burden has not been carried for a few days, but another unexpected situation happened. In the two weeks before Brother Long’s death, the entire political scene in S City was turned upside down. Sentenced to ten years in prison.

That year, Qu Cheng was twenty-five years old, and Yue Zhao was eighteen years old. Qu Cheng voluntarily went to prison to commit the crime to Brother Long, and Yue Zhao was at the youngest age of eighteen. Even if he liked someone again, he would not wait for more than ten years, not to mention that he was too young at the time, and he didn’t want to wait any longer. He didn’t understand the deep love and love, so when Brother Long died, he disappeared completely, and he never went to the prison to see Qu Cheng again.

The past is unbearable, and there is only one sigh left. Qu Cheng always thought that Yue Zhao was dead, and felt guilty for not fulfilling the promise he made in front of Brother Long, but recently he suddenly appeared, even more glamorous and handsome than when he was a child. This made Qu Cheng happy, but at the same time felt a little panic.

“Brother Cheng, why are you distracted?” Yue Zhao told a joke for a long time, and smiled back and forth, but the opposite Qu Cheng didn’t respond, so he couldn’t help raising his hand to pat the back of his hand, “Did you hear me?”

“Well, I heard it.” Qu Cheng stirred the coffee cup in front of him, still feeling that the Yue Zhao in front of him was a little unreal.

He coughed lightly and changed the subject, “Have you made up your mind about what I said just now? If you agree, do as I said tomorrow, and I will make up for what I owe you all these years.”

Yue Zhao pouted, he still had a smile on his face, “I’ve said it several times, I think we can go back to the past, okay? I don’t care about the rest.”

Qu Cheng rubbed his forehead, “I said it, I have a lover, and I love him very much. What’s more, I don’t think our current relationship is any different from the past. As long as you are willing to come back, I will still treat you as a younger brother. I can’t do anything else.”

“You know that I want to It’s not my younger brother. We used to be a couple in the eyes of all the brothers in the gang, why can’t we go back now? If it’s a first comer, I’m the first to meet you.”

Yue Zhao’s voice just fell, The phone rang again, and this is the Nth of times this day.

Qu Cheng looked at the phone, and the expression on his face finally showed a smile. He didn’t show this expression on purpose in front of Yue Zhao, and he suppressed it perfectly, but Yue Zhao, who was sitting opposite, could still see it clearly.

Of course, Xu Cinian called. Just thinking about the peacock’s temper, Qu Cheng felt itchy, and he wanted to pick up the phone right away.

But who sit across from him was Yue Zhao, a young ancestor who dared to do anything since he was a child. Before his goal was achieved, he couldn’t leave Yue Zhao behind, and he couldn’t let him interfere with all his plans, so no matter how itchy he was, he couldn’t pick it up or didn’t dare to pick it up.

This daring is not because he is afraid of Yue Zhao, he is not afraid of anything, there is nothing he can’t do, but only when he meets Xu Cinian, all “not afraid” has a premise.

Back then, he knew better than anyone how much Xu Cinian was injured, so he was reluctant to hurt him with the slightest emotional uncertainty. If you can make a rumor with the brothers of the whole gang, saying that the two of them are a couple, maybe they will be angry now and talk nonsense with Xu Cinian.

Although Qu Cheng was never a timid person, when he met Xu Cinian, he couldn’t help but be cautious and cautious, and sometimes even hesitant to be like himself.

Yue Zhao’s appearance was too sudden. Even if he cleared himself, he couldn’t resist the fact that the three of them became tigers. Everyone in the gang knew about it. In case Yue Zhao knew that his lover was Xu Cinian, all the nonsense was passed, and the peacock ran up and down with his stubborn temper to seek evidence from the helpers, and he could not wash himself even if he jumped into the river.

He couldn’t afford this risk, but he couldn’t kill Yue Zhao, the benefactor’s brother who took care of the orphan before his death, so he could only drag it in this almost stupid way, neither He was willing to deduct Xu Cinian’s call, but he couldn’t take the risk to answer.

But the phone seemed to be stunned, calling over and over again, making Qu Cheng’s heart more and more uneasy, and his face could not help but tense up.

The peacock seemed to understand the sense of proportions, and now that he suddenly called him so impatiently, something must have happened.

Qu Cheng couldn’t sit still anymore, took a deep breath, and pulled the corner of his mouth forcefully, trying to make his voice sound more pleasant, so as not to arouse Xu Cinian’s suspicion.

On the phone he asked him, “Where are you? Are you busy?”

Qu Cheng didn’t know how to answer, he was really busy, and he was busy trying to get Yue Zhao to let go and agree to the conditions he made earlier, so that he could leave with Xu Cinian openly and honestly. This is what he thought about for a long time. It’s just the final touch, he can’t fall short.

Concealing his guilty expression, he took a lot of effort to make himself laugh, “I’m talking about business, I have a headache, and I’m going to be able to go back very late.”

Unfortunately, Xu Cinian didn’t respond at all, and responded with a cry. He hung up the phone and looked at the number that had been hung up. Qu Cheng was full of doubts. Did this peacock call him so many times just to say this?

Thinking of how he was blushing and reluctant to cooperate with him in the hot spring last night, Qu Cheng frowned and stretched out again, and couldn’t help showing a smile, the peacock was probably thinking about him and didn’t want to say it directly, That’s why he found him in such an awkward way.

Thinking of Xu Cinian’s duplicitous temper, he shook his head with a smile, and returned to his seat in the restaurant with his mobile phone.

At this time, Yue Zhao was secretly drinking his coffee, grinned at him, and his beautiful eyes curled up, “Ah, you’re back, I think yours is better, so I try it secretly, don’t you mind? ?”

“I don’t mind.”

Qu Cheng sat down on the seat with a blank face, glanced at Yue Zhao’s familiar movements, and didn’t feel agitated, and wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible, “Xiao Yue, we’ve been exhausted like this. It’s been a day, if you have something to say, let’s just say it, how on earth are you willing to take over the Qinglong Gang?”

Yue Zhao’s face stiffened, he pushed the cup in front of Qu Cheng, his eyes were a little sad, “I wouldn’t have it without your Qinglong help. Yes. As long as you’re here, I’ll be there.”

The topic went back to the same place, and Qu Cheng lost his patience, “Okay, then treat it as if I’ve never talked to you about this topic before, and I’ll leave beforehand.

“Brother Cheng, you can’t tolerate me like that?” Yue Zhao didn’t expect Qu Cheng to be so heartless, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom, “Do you blame me for not waiting for you when you were in prison? But…I already regret it, You promised my brother that you would take care of me for the rest of your life, and now that I am back, will you abandon me in perfidiousness?”

Qu Cheng shook his head with a firm look, “I promised Brother Long to treat you as a younger brother, and of course I will take care of you. As for lovers, only one is enough in this life.”

He turned around and left without touching the coffee cup that Yue Zhao touched.

In his arms, Xu Cinian turned over, revealing his entire back, and Qu Cheng, who was trapped in his memories, came back to his senses and put his mobile phone aside. He took a long breath, and suddenly felt that he was up so early to think about what to do with all this mess, it would be better to hug his daughter-in-law and sleep in again.

""

Dtretching, he got back into the quilt, put his hand on Xu Cinian’s stomach and covered it, just like last night, after covering Xu Cinian warmly, he closed his eyes again.

*****

When Xu Cinian woke up, it was already three poles in the sun. He yawned and still felt a little tired. He couldn’t help but tighten the bed again, squinting his eyes and laying still on the bed.

When Qu Cheng heard the movement, he stuck his head out of the luxurious kitchen in the guest room and said with a smile, “Don’t go to bed again, get up and have breakfast, you didn’t eat yesterday, I made it for you today, eat a bit.”

Xu Cinian stuck his head out of the quilt and saw Qu Cheng dressed in a shirt and an apron at a glance.

This scene is the same as when the two live together. Qu Cheng wakes up early and prepares breakfast in advance. Wowo wakes up smelling the fragrance and sits comfortably on the sofa watching TV.

Everything is the same as in the past, as if everything that happened yesterday was a nightmare, and now that he wake up from the dream, Qu Cheng is still the same Qu Cheng.

Xu Cinian rubbed his eyes, lifted the quilt and went into the bathroom to wash. By the sink, Qu Cheng had prepared warm water for him, and toothpaste had been squeezed on his toothbrush. On the shelf next to him was freshly dried white hair. Towel, leaned in and smelled the fragrance of softener.

Xu Cinian looked at himself in the mirror, except that his face was not very good, he looked like Zhou Zheng, and his eyes were not humiliating with dark circles. He couldn’t tell what he experienced yesterday, thank God.

After washing up, Qu Cheng’s breakfast was already on the table, boiled glutinous millet porridge, served with pickled gourd, and a few steamed dumplings with vegetarian fillings on the plate, completely avoiding the “fishy smell” yesterday morning.

Xu Cinian looked at the things in front of him, and it took him a long time to say something, “You did all of this…?”

Qu Cheng hooked his mouth and said “um”, and poured him a glass of freshly squeezed juice, “Yesterday Don’t you feel sick in your stomach? I’m afraid that the kitchen is not clean, so I’ll just cook it for you.”

“How Boss Xu, has my cooking skills improved? I can even make steamed dumplings now, can I ask for a compliment?”

He grinned wickedly and deliberately acted coquettishly. If Xu Cinian had laughed out loud before, but now he is still not in the mood to joke, he took a sip of porridge with a spoon and took a bite out of a steamed one. Dumplings are stuffed with pumpkin vermicelli and carrots.

All the things have the effect of promoting digestion and nourishing the stomach. All the details reveal Qu Cheng’s carefulness. Xu Cinian is not blind.

When Qu Cheng saw that he had said it for a long time, Xu Cinian had no response, so he could not help frowning, and reached out to touch his stomach, “Are these also unpalatable? Is it still uncomfortable in your stomach? I’ll give you a rub.”

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and stroked Xu Cinian’s stomach, and rubbed his calloused palm on the skin through his clothes, which actually stopped the tumultuous stomach, as if he had telepathic connection with Qu Cheng. As soon as he was touched, he honestly stopped making noise.   Xu Cinian was secretly amazed, and felt that it was boring to be on the air like Qu Cheng, so he simply shook his head and said, “It’s not uncomfortable, what you’ve done… It’s good.”

Qu Cheng was amused by his appearance. “Why are you being so stupid recently, I can’t help but want to bully you.”

He stretched out his hand to squeeze his face, but was suddenly slapped away by Xu Cinian, and his movements were as fast as there was a plague on Qu Cheng.

This action made both of them stunned. Qu Cheng’s face froze, and his arms stayed in the air. That expression made Xu Cinian look a little uncomfortable, but he was hard-hearted and did not apologize to him.

In the end, Qu Cheng talked about it. At the corner of his mouth, he changed the subject with a smile as if he was okay, “By the way, I bought some medicines, all of which are for stomach problems, anyway, I don’t understand this, so I asked the pharmacy to get one for me, don’t forget to eat them after dinner.”

He took out a large packet of medicine and poured a glass of warm water, so thoughtful that Xu Cinian couldn’t pick out a single fault.

What’s the point of doing all this now that you met your old lover without telling yourself the night before?

Xu Cinian wanted to ask this question very much, but in the end he held it back. He was not a stone man without consciousness, so Qu Cheng treated him like a long stream of water, and he didn’t see it either. Not much to say.

Having a very boring breakfast, Qu Cheng racked his brains to make him smile, but he came back without success.

Although the two of them were sitting at the same table, Qu Cheng felt inexplicably that Xu Cinian was deliberately alienating him, or even hating him, but he really didn’t know the reason, so he could only be anxious in his heart.

After breakfast, it was time for Qu Cheng to go to work. He glanced at Xu Cinian who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, took out the box that he had hidden all night last night and put it in front of Xu Cinian.

“The resort is going to hold an opening ceremony tonight. The Qinglong Gang will be there, and the bastards from Hao Ting will also follow. Would you like to come with me?”
