220 – Second Honeymoon
Watching Qin Mian and Lei Tie leave side by side, Liu Yaoming and the others became unknowingly more or less envious.
As soon as they were out of the hotel, Qin Mian asked, “Where are Ruiqi and Ruilin?”
“‘Inside’,” said Lei Tie.
In the city at night, under the flashing neon lights, there were no fewer pedestrians on the streets than in the daytime. Not far in the opposite direction was the pedestrian street; there were not only all kinds of delicious food, but also all kinds of interesting games.
Qin Mian recalled that since he traversed back, his family had not gone sightseeing; he was ashamed. “A-Tie, we won’t go back first. I’ll show you guys around.”
Then, he said in a low voice, “Get in the car first and let Ruiqi and Ruilin come out.”
He pulled Lei Tie, but the latter didn’t budge. He looked back.
Lei Tie grasped Qin Mian’s hand and brought him back to his side. He said in a vexed voice, “You and me.”
Qin Mian could make out the little grievance on the man’s calm face; he felt guilty. It was really his negligence. During this period of time, there were either those things or such things, so much so that the two of them hardly lived their married life. Hadn’t he known about the man’s taciturn character long ago? Now, the man couldn’t endure it anymore and remonstrated, which showed that he was really nursing a grievance. Qin Mian’s heartstrings were pulled tight. He grabbed the man’s waist tightly and rubbed his cheek against the man’s face. “En, just you and me.” There was food and toys in the space, as well as White Spot and the gang, so there was nothing to worry about leaving Ruiqi and Ruilin inside.
He held the man’s face and pecked on his lips. He didn’t seem to care that passers-by were looking at them. He smiled at the man and walked forward. Who did he and Lei Tie need to fear now? Why care about other people’s eyes? Yielding to one’s heart was a great pleasure.
“I’ll take you to eat delicious food first. It’s not far away. Let’s go straight over. That one has barbecue, shredded pancakes, iron-plated fried rice, spicy hotpot, oden, stinky tofu, sesame seed pancakes with broken bits… all of them are very delicious.”
Lei Tie curled up a faint smile on his lips. He only felt that the radiance in his wife’s eyes was more dazzling than the neon lights.1
Qin Mian’s train of thoughts deviated from the normal course and he found out that he really overlooked his family members too much. They might not be able to leave this world in a short time, but he should not pay too much attention to making money. Instead, he should take his spouse and children to sightseeing in this new world. As for money, they didn’t need it at all.
“Fool.” Lei Tie saw through Qin Mian’s mind, “No hurry, we have a lot of time.”
“A-Tie.” Qin Mian stopped, took the man’s hands and looked into his eyes seriously. “It seems that I have never asked you whether you like this world or this kind of life.” Thinking that Lei Tie might not like the present life at all and just tolerate it for him, he felt both distressed and remorseful. This man was tolerant of him all the time, while he just blindly enjoyed the man’s connivance and neglected the man’s feelings.
When the radiance in the wife’s eyes turned a lot dimmer, Lei Tie’s heart became panicked. He tightened his grips and gathered the person into his arms. “What are you thinking about? As long as you are always by my side, it’s the same everywhere.”
“You’re a fool, too.” Qin Mian stroked the man’s face and made up his mind to be more kind to him. He waved away his emotional feelings and decisively said, “Tomorrow, we’ll hire an assistant each for Ruiqi and Ruilin to take care of them. Then, the two of us will travel and live the best married life. After Ruilin’s film is finished, we’ll take the two children to travel around. They don’t have to rush to school. What do you think?”
Lei Tie smiled; his whole person was full of pleasure and satisfaction. He stared at Qin Mian with tender eyes and nodded, “Okay.”

Seeing him smile, Qin Mian’s heart felt nice and warm and his face was full of happy smiles. “Let’s go to the night market first.”
He took Lei Tie to taste takoyaki, shredded pancakes, grilled squid, oden, sour plum soup, sausages, fried liver, stinky tofu…… played catching small fish, ferrule, air gun balloon shooting, and made candy floss…..
At first, Lei Tie was still reserved. After Qin Mian coerced him to fish and make candy floss, he simply followed his wife to play and obeyed his wife’s requirements. They enjoyed themselves as much as ordinary lovers. Qin Mian’s stomach was a little hungry again. He took Lei Tie to a famous instant-boiled mutton restaurant to eat instant-boiled mutton.
When they got home, it was past midnight. Their two sons had already fallen asleep in the space’s room.
Qin Mian was a man of action. The next day, he hired an assistant for Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin each. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin knew that the two dads were going to have a “second honeymoon”, so they waved their hands with great understanding.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie felt a little bit lost, but also more relieved and glad. They filled the refrigerator and freezer in their home, and also filled their two sons’ storage bracelets with fruits, snacks, desserts, and enough money. Then they left at ease.
On the first day of their second honeymoon, Qin Mian didn’t go far. He took Lei Tie to the shopping mall and bought several sets of clothes for him and his two sons from head to toe. After that, he bought two movie tickets and took Lei Tie to see a Sci-fi blockbuster. The purpose was not to experience the movie itself, it was to experience watching a movie and to date. They bought the last row of seats. Because the hall was dark and there were not many people watching the movie, they could not help but secretly kiss each other several times. As for what the movie was about, they only had a general idea.
In the evening, they didn’t go home either. After making a phone call and confirming that their two sons were fine, they opened a room in the hotel.
Some supplies in the hotel opened a door to a new world for Lei Tie, so much so that they didn’t wake up until more than 1 o’clock in the afternoon of the next day. For lunch, they went to the Lovers Restaurant specially. After lunch, Qin Mian dragged Lei Tie to the video game center. They were addicted to playing racing games. The next day, they spent another day in the video game center. As a result, the boys and girls in the video game city looked at them with strange eyes from time to time.
Qin Mian was so depressed that he couldn’t endure it and pulled his man to roast them, “What are they looking at? Although I, this Young Master, am already pushing 30, I look to be about 20~23 years old. Why can’t I be in this video game center?”
Lei Tie quickly coaxed him; his face was serious, “En. They were looking at me, I’m pushing 40.”
“Pfft!” Qin Mian couldn’t help laughing. He held his man’s face and looked at it carefully. He seriously said, “You’re not old. You appear to be about 27~28 at most.” This was naturally true. When one’s cultivation reached Lei Tie’s level, one’s appearance would not change anymore. That’s why Lei Tie’s time seemed to stop at the age of 28, looking young, mature, dignified, and charming. No matter where he went, he attracted the eyes of people around him.
Of course, I’m not bad either. Qin Mian thought narcissistically.
Lei Tie grasped his hand tightly and kissed him. He didn’t notice the surprise of the others around them.
“Still playing?”
“No more.” Qin Mian said, “If we want to play again, we’ll come later. Our tour is more important.”
When they went home and saw that their two sons were really doing well, they were more relieved. He told the two assistants that if the two assistants could get praises from the two children the next time they went home, he would give them a huge bonus.
The two assistants could guess from the value of the family’s house that this family was not short of money. After hearing this, they were more energetic, and one after another said that they will take good care of their two children.

The next day, Qin Mian and Lei Tie went out again. When Liu Yaoming called to ask Qin Mian to see the elderly of the Liu family, Qin Mian declined and set the time half a month later.
Qin Mian intended to let Lei Tie experience different means of transportation. He took the man to the railway station by bus and bought a ticket to the neighboring city. After visiting the scenic spots of neighboring cities and tasting the special local snacks, they flew to the imperial capital.
After the journey, they did not take the means of transportation. Qin Mian acted as a navigator, while Lei Tie took him to fly to places with beautiful scenery or delicious snacks all over the country.
It was half a month later when Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin saw their two dads again.
After filming a scene on the roadside with endless traffic, Chen Yue announced for a moment’s break.
Even though Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were calm, they were still eight years old after all. When they saw their two dads standing side by side not far away, they smiled with joy as they ran toward their dads.
“Daddy! Old Daddy!”
Qin Mian and Lei Tie each caught one boy. Everyone looked at them with admiration.
The two assistants looked at each other and walked over. It was so easy to take care of these two sensible children that they even hoped Qin Mian and Lei Tie could come back later.
“Mister Qin, Mister Lei. You guys are back.”
The two sons didn’t look thinner. Qin Mian was in a good mood and very satisfied with the two assistants. “En, you’ve worked hard.”
Chen Yue, Zhang Qiong, and the others noticed the two big baskets beside Qin Mian and Lei Tie, in which they were full of peaches and watermelons, adding up to at least 100 Jin. They knew that the baskets were brought for them to eat and inwardly said that these two fathers were very considerate. They were quite familiar with Qin Mian and Lei Tie. They went over to say hello with smiles, staring at the fruit baskets. Every time Qin Mian brought fruits, they were so delicious. No wonder they were so covetous.
Qin Mian inwardly laughed. “Director Chen, Assistant Director Zhang. My two sons have added trouble to you. These fruits are our little treats. Let’s share with everyone.”
Everyone had been waiting for his words. After thanking him, they took the baskets and went under the shade of the trees to share the fruits.
Qin Mian took a small basket out of the car and handed it to the two assistants. “This is for you two.”
“Thank you, Mister Qin.” Two assistants took the fruit basket and went to one side wisely.
Qin Mian took his two sons to the car to hide from the sun and asked about their recent situation.
2 more. Ugh, I’m reluctant to finish it.
