Ch62 - Happy New Year

Edited by kat

The man at the door of the room was wearing a long black windbreaker. His hair was a little longer than before, and the scab on his face had faded a lot.

It was probably because he had just come in from outside, but his lips were a little dry.

His brows were smoothed out, and the corners of his mouth were quirked up.

Shen Qi had lowered his head at first. He was really so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes, and he was grumpy from having to get up. He frowned deeply and pursed his lips, restraining his anger, and didn’t have much strength when he walked.

All the way up until he heard that.

He looked up at that person.

His sleepiness receded in a flash, and how could he be grumpy about having to get up now.

His expression froze for a moment. A few seconds later, Shen Qi pulled at the hem of his pajamas, leaned halfway against the door, ran his right hand through his hair, and slowly said, “What services do you offer ah?”

His voice still carried the languidness from just having woken up.

And it was a bit husky and nasal.

Fu Mingyuan froze, and then let out a laugh from his nose. “Anything is fine.”

Shen Qi let out an “en,” then raised his eyebrows. He set one hand on Fu Mingyuan’s shoulder and the other hand around his waist, drew close to his ear, and whispered, “Then what about this kind of service? Is it available? Gege?”

The door of the room closed.

The three people, who had followed him up and stood at the stairway, all looked at each other, and finally decided to go downstairs for training.

They were really silly to have come here to eat dog food.

…..

A few minutes later, Shen Qi’s pajama collar had two buttons pulled open. His back was leaning against the chair, and he was trying to calm his breathing.

His lips were slightly swollen, they had some liquid on them, and were a bit red. His neck was also red.

Fu Mingyuan stood half bent over in front of him, and they were very close.

His coat had been tossed randomly on the floor, while the sweater inside had been torn loose and was now messily arranged. The hem of the sweater had been pushed up, and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows.

Fu Mingyuan’s right hand was still on the back of Shen Qi’s head. The lights weren’t on in the room, and the heater was still on, so it was muggy and dark.

“Kiss again, Gege?” Shen Qi pulled at the other party’s left hand and placed it on his chest.

His heart was beating fast.

Fu Mingyuan could feel the beat hidden under his skin.

The second kiss was tender.

…..

“New Year’s day is tomorrow ah, Gege.” Shen Qi half leaned against Fu Mingyuan’s shoulder and played with the cellphone in his hand.

Fu Mingyuan’s hand stroked the young man’s hair for a while. When he heard his words, he turned his face and gave him a very light kiss on the top of his hair.

Shen Qi let out a light laugh. Only Fu Mingyuan, who was leaning beside him, could hear it clearly.

“En.”

Shen Qi clicked on Baidu and typed in “things lovers should do.”

Then he handed it to Fu Mingyuan.

“Can we go out for a date?”

Shen Qi grabbed at his hair and felt that his proposal seemed to be a bit difficult to implement. Although they had been together for so long, they hadn’t been on a single date since they didn’t have much time and because of their identities.

The light in his eyes dimmed a bit. It was only for a moment, and before Fu Mingyuan could open his mouth to answer, he started talking again.

“How about a date in bed?” He pressed his leg onto the other person’s body, moved to a comfortable position, and sighed with some dissatisfaction. “All kinds of positions can be tried.”

It didn’t sound like a joke.

Fu Mingyuan’s arm around his shoulder tightened and he half narrowed his eyes, pulling him against his chest. “Behave.

“I have something to do in the evening.”

Shen Qi recognized the restraint in his tone and let out a snort.

They were both men, and he knew how hard it was for Gege to endure.

However, his mouth couldn’t stop in the end, his words jumping out, one by one.

In the evening, Fu Mingyuan still had to attend the wrap-up banquet with the Tomorrow crew. Because most people wanted to go back home, the wrap-up banquet had been changed from the farm food that the head of the village would make for everyone to a hotel in A City.

“Not holding back right now is also okay ya, Gege. The one who won’t be able to get up later will be me, not you.” Shen Qi didn’t finish saying this before his mouth was blocked again.

He was just kissed, and he swallowed his words back down.

“Behave, it’s not a good time right now.” Fu Mingyuan rubbed the back of Shen Qi’s neck forcefully.

Shen Qi had a smile in his eyes, but he didn’t ask him why.

As for the issue of the date, Fu Mingyuan didn’t answer him.

Tomorrow was New Year’s day. In the past years, he had spent them all with Fu Mingli, and there were few times when he could do so.

But this year, it was different.

….

After a short rest, Shen Qi changed his clothes and they went downstairs together.

Shen Qi had been sleeping all the way until now and hadn’t eaten anything.

Fu Mingyuan came back by car early this morning and also hadn’t eaten anything.

Although a cleaning auntie wouldn’t be hired until after New Year’s, the things in the kitchen of the base were still very complete.

Usually it was Ye Lai who cooked. Although the manager didn’t live in the base, he often bought food for them. When the refrigerator was empty, he bought things to fill it.

“Tch, they’re really getting a bargain.” Shen Qi leaned against Fu Mingyuan’s broad back, slightly dissatisfied.

They hadn’t eaten any takeout either.

The coach had gone back home, saying that he was going to spend the holiday there.

Yesterday’s training match had ended, and it happened to be close to the New Year, so everyone became a little lazy.

Ye Lai also didn’t get up to make breakfast in the morning, and he had originally prepared to order some takeout at noon, but who knew that he would bump into the film emperor himself cooking?

Fu Mingyuan grabbed Shen Qi’s hand that was on his waist, pinched it, and signaled him to go out and wait.

As soon as Shen Qi came out, he was surrounded by Lu Tun and them.

“Male God is worthy of being Male God! He’s both handsome and good at cooking!!!” The little stars in Lu Tun’s eyes were about to spill out, and Shen Qi impatiently gave him a kick.

“Where are you looking?”

Lu Tun grabbed his head and looked away.

At this moment, what pitiful ranked first Gege, he had forgotten about him a long time ago.

Ye Lai was a little surprised. “Can Shigong really cook?”

Hearing this title, Shen Qi couldn’t help laughing and patted Ye Lai on the back of the head. “Good apprentice, Shifu allows you to eat more.”

Xu Leng looked at the captain and then at Fu Mingyuan, and showed a satisfied smile.

……

When the food was ready, it was long past a mealtime, and the smell of the food overflowing from the kitchen spread across the entire dining room.

Looking at the three children all crying piteously for food, the corners of Shen Qi’s mouth spread into a smile.

At the dinner table, the only thing that bothered the three children was that the captain kept picking up food for his boyfriend.

After dinner, Du Jing came to pick up Fu Mingyuan.

It was already past two in the afternoon.

After Fu Mingyuan left, Shen Qi washed the dishes and yawned, returning to his sleepy appearance, and went to the training room.

The three children discussed matters with each other for a long time to the side. Finally, Lu Tun called the manager and asked him to deliver something in the afternoon.

Then they one by one made their way to the training room and didn’t say anything.

The training in the afternoon was still squad matches. At present, the most important thing was to practice their cooperation and let Xu Leng adapt to the pace of professional competitions. He could no longer be like in the previous training match, losing his head as soon as he got nervous and directly sending points to other teams.

Because it was about to be the New Year, training ended at ten o’clock in the evening. They definitely couldn’t let everyone enter the new year in the middle of training.

Shen Qi had originally planned to go directly upstairs.

Fu Mingyuan hadn’t sent a message this entire time, so the wrap-up banquet probably wasn’t over yet.

A knock came from the door of the base.

Shen Qi’s steps stopped, and he began to smile.

Before he could step out, Lu Tun quickly rushed to the door.

It was like a gust of wind had blown past Shen Qi.

Listening to the anxious frequency of the knocks on the door, it didn’t seem like Gege.

It really wasn’t Fu Mingyuan.

Duan Rong stood at the door with a box of things and carrying a cake in his hands.

The lights at M1G opposite them were still bright.

“We troubled you, Manager, thank you Manager!” Lu Tun took over the mess of stuff and got Xu Leng to come over and carry the cake in.

They had bought some decorations to stick on the wall.

Although it seemed a little late to decorate at this time.

The three children were very excited. Shen Qi watched them from the side. He frowned at first, and then he began to smile.

The faces of the three children were all wreathed in satisfied smiles. Lu Tun stepped on a chair to reach the characters up top, Xu Leng supported him beside him, and Ye Lai squatted down and stuck on ornaments below.

The original white wall became a mess after a bit more than an hour. The characters had been pasted crookedly, and not firmly. The character “Yuan” at the very top kept drooping a bit.

After sticking up all the characters, Lu Tun took out several bottles of fruit beer from the bottom of the box, which didn’t have any alcohol in them.

Holding the fruit beer, he bounced over towards Shen Qi.

“Captain, drinking some fruit beer should be fine ba!”

They weren’t in the competition period yet, so really there would be no issue at all.

Shen Qi looked at the ugly characters on the wall and laughed at them. “The characters have been pasted up so ugly?

“You’re not allowed to drink, what beer are children drinking.”

Although he said that, he didn’t confiscate the fruit beer that Lu Tun had gathered, and his eyes still fell on the wall from time to time.

Lu Tun grabbed the hand of Idol, who had been standing propped against the stair railing the entire time, and pulled him to the lobby.

Duan Rong and Ye Lai were setting out the fruit together, and Xu Leng brought down a large LCD TV from Duan Rong’s car.

The originally empty lobby seemed to now have a lively atmosphere.

“When can Male God attend the New Year Gala ah! I’ve never heard Male God sing! All the fans are calling for it!”

The New Year Gala had already entered the climax, and the host was warmly greeting the next guest.

Shen Qi sat on the sofa and raised his eyelids. He took a look at Lu Tun, tugged at his mouth, and carelessly said, “As long as I’ve heard it, it’s enough.”

And he hadn’t just heard it, but it had been a love song.

Thinking of that, his smile grew deeper.

The clock’s hand ticked slowly to zero.

At 11:59, Shen Qi’s cellphone vibrated.

fmy: Come open the door

Outside, Fu Mingyuan carried a chill on him, and his clothes smelled of alcohol.

The night was dark, but the look on his face was clear.

Fu Mingyuan had driven his own car, first sending Du Jing, who had drunk too much, back home. He then went back home to check in on Fu Mingli, who was already asleep, and then came here.

He didn’t even have time to change his clothes.

When Shen Qi leapt onto him, the TV hosts were congratulating “Happy New Year” in a chorus.

Inside, Lu Tun, Ye Lai, Xu Leng, and Duan Rong cut the cake and said with a smile, “Happy New Year! QAQ is the best!”

Fu Mingyuan hugged Shen Qi’s waist and turned his head to kiss his forehead. “Happy New Year.”

Shen Qi grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers before they went in.

At this time last year, M1G had seemed icy cold. Maybe it was because the heater was set too high, but this year’s QAQ seemed warm everywhere.

It was even hot.

Shen Qi already couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had celebrated the holidays with anyone.

In primary school, the teacher would ask them to write a diary. Every time it was a holiday, he could only copy other people’s entries and revise them, but he still got a low score in the end, because it didn’t have the right emotions.

Shen Qi didn’t care back then.

But now, he seemed to feel it.

Shen Qi was carried upstairs by Fu Mingyuan. Fruit beer had no alcohol in it, and he couldn’t get drunk, but he still just wanted to fall into Fu Mingyuan’s arms.

The other four could only turn away and avoid looking at them.

“Gege.” When they went upstairs, Shen Qi pulled Fu Mingyuan’s collar and drew close to his neck. He could feel the breathing of the person holding him.

“Thank you, Gege,” he murmured.

Fu Mingyuan’s steps stopped. His hand holding him twitched and he leaned Shen Qi against himself. He then leaned against the wall of the second floor stairs, and bent down to kiss him.
