The second day was New Year’s Eve.
In the morning, Shen Qi woke up before the alarm clock rang. The spot beside him had been empty for a long time.
Downstairs, Ye Lai and Xu Leng were playing squads with Bo Li and Sun Fan.
The two children didn’t go upstairs at all last night. When they had gotten to the stairs, they had heard some little broken sound from Shen Qi’s room and had immediately turned around and gone down again.
It happened that Bo Li and Sun Fan, two older children who had also been left behind, were looking for people to play a MOBA with in the professional player groupchat.
In the beginning, they formed a five-person team with Lu Tun to play Honor of Kings. Later, Lu Tun was caught by his mother and was scolded through the voice channel for a long time.
She said he came back home only once a year and did not even go to sleep in the middle of the night.
Lu Tun was scolded into silence, and the remaining four held back their laughter.
After Lu Tun quit the group chat amidst the scolding, the remaining four decided to go do squad matches in PUBG.
Although they weren’t from the same team, they were all professional players after all. They still had a good feel in their hands, they gradually got used to cooperating with each other, and they even ate several chicken dinners in a row.
Shen Qi scratched his messy hair and went into the training room for a turn. His expression was still sleepy, and he half squinted and rubbed Xu Leng and Ye Lai’s heads.
The two children were startled and looked back to see that it was the person that they had originally wanted to wake up.
Xu Leng’s “Hello, Captain” hadn’t even come out yet when his eyes fell on their captain’s neck. He immediately blushed, then quickly covered Ye Lai’s eyes, held Ye Lai’s chair and turned him to face the computer, and immediately turned his back on their captain.
Ye Lai was stunned for a few seconds.
“What’s the matter?”
Before Xu Leng could make a sound, Shen Qi laughed, licked his lower lip, and asked carelessly, “Does it look good?”
Xu Leng: …..
“Captain… We are still children…”
We don’t actually want to see anything unsuitable for children.
Shen Qi laughed again and ruffled their hair twice, before pulling up the collar of his pajamas and walking slowly towards the kitchen.
“You two are afking? Afking at the final circle! Did Shen Qi send you guys to play around with me?” In the headset, Bo Li was completely exasperated and opened an internal voice channel.
Sun Fan said deeply, “A lone wolf can also eat chicken.”
Sun Fan was the only one left of the four.
……
In the kitchen, Fu Mingyuan was wearing the same pajamas as Shen Qi. He had also put an apron on and was making breakfast.
The apron was a little small on him. He could barely tie it, and the way it cut into his waist was very obvious.
Shen Qi stood at the door, his gaze falling from his waist to his neck. He let out a mysterious laugh and closed the kitchen door before rubbing against Fu Mingyuan.
“Got up so early ah, Gege?” Half hugging the other party’s waist, his chin resting on his shoulder, Shen Qi lazily opened his mouth.
Fu Mingyuan’s original movements of beating eggs stopped.
“En, not sleeping?”
Shen Qi yawned and rubbed his chin forward again. He kissed Fu Mingyuan on his chin before replying to him, “I can’t sleep. When are we going to pick up Didi?”
With things on his mind, naturally he couldn’t sleep.
Hearing his words, Fu Mingyuan reached out and touched his cheek.
“After we eat.
“If you’re sleepy, then go sleep some more.”
Shen Qi yawned again. “I’m not going to sleep.
“Tch, those two kids disliked the strawberries on my neck, don’t they look nice? These are completely unique, especially customized… “
Fu Mingyuan’s back stiffened a bit. He looked sideways at his pulled-up collar, then looked away, and whispered a few seconds later, “En, they look nice.”
Shen Qi laughed. “I also feel that way. Gege planted them, so no matter what, they look good.”
Fu Mingyuan lowered his eyes and said, “En.”
Actually, they were love bites.
It was easy to have complications while planting strawberries. Fu Mingyuan had restrained himself the entire time, not biting, but he couldn’t stand up against Shen Qi happily biting at him last night, and accidentally returned him a bite.
It was already eight o’clock when they went to pick up Fu Mingli.
Shen Qi picked out his clothes for a while, ultimately putting on a black coat from the deepest part of the wardrobe to look more mature.
He usually didn’t wear black, but it made his skin look paler. Although his clothes were mature, he didn’t look mature when he wore them.
Fu Mingyuan turned his face and stared at him for a while before he just kissed him on the forehead with restraint.
“Is this okay? Gege?” Wearing a shirt and sweater inside, for once Shen Qi actually buttoned everything up to the top button. Shen Qi wasn’t quite used to it.
Fu Mingyuan tapped his finger on the steering wheel twice, closed his eyes, and was silent for a while before he answered affirmatively.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this wasn’t quite the right time, he would want to press him into the chair and kiss him.
He didn’t know before that the young man would look so good in black.
Shen Qi didn’t notice Fu Mingyuan’s glance. At this moment, his mind was consumed with meeting his parents. He looked at the pile of gifts filling the back seat, took out his cellphone, and asked in the pro player groupchat.
QAQ-Angry: What should I do when I meet the parents for the first time?
EVE-River:……??? You’re asking us, a group of single dogs
HUOJ-Boli: You’re going to meet the parents at Lunar New Year? Shit, are you still human? Did you send this on purpose to show off?
With Bo Li condemning him, other lurkers also came out and began to maul him. Some of them had stayed at their base, while others went home for the new year and were called up early in the morning to slave away. As a result, as soon as they opened up the groupchat, they saw this show.
QAQ-Angry: Don’t panic when you encounter anything, first greet the groupchat, and sure enough, your mood will improve. Thank you, single dog bros, I wish you guys to be single dogs in the new year, and we’ll meet at the venue during the summer trials next year
QAQ-Angry: Love, career, double harvest
EVE-Buxiu: How do you block people in a group chat?
Shen Qi let out a laugh.
Fu Mingyuan looked at his current appearance. His gaze softened as he glanced at him several times, and the corners of his mouth drew into a smile.
Two hours later, Fu Mingli was forced to squeeze in with the pile of gifts.
“Ge, why did you buy so many things to bring back home! It’s not like Mom and Dad lack these, and buying this stuff and bringing it home is just…”
Fu Mingyuan glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said coldly, “Your Shen Qi Ge bought these.”
“Mother will definitely like this!” Fu Mingli grabbed the back of the driver’s seat with one hand and used his other to touch the gift box with great care. “Father will definitely like this one!
“Shen Qi Ge, is there a gift for me?”
Shen Qi and Fu Mingyuan looked at each other before replying, “Yes, at the very bottom, there is a special big box. See if you like it.”
Fu Mingli couldn’t hold back the joy on his face when he heard that it was a particularly large gift box. How could he care any longer that he was crammed in the middle of a ton of boxes.
Fu Mingyuan frowned. “What did you buy for him?
“He doesn’t need anything.”
Shen Qi raised his eyebrows and restlessly tried to put his hands on Fu Mingyuan’s knees, but sadly, the other party’s sitting posture was too proper and his legs were close together, so he couldn’t reach them even if he leaned half his body over.
Fu Mingyuan noticed his intentions and moved his right leg in Shen Qi’s direction.
“He definitely needs this.” Shen Qi got what he wanted, and was even more unable to hide the smile in his voice.
Fu Mingyuan half curled his lower lip. His pants weren’t thick, and he could feel the pressure of the other party slowly rubbing his knees.
He frowned and focused on driving.
With great difficulty, Fu Mingli managed to dig out the gift from the very bottom. It really was a big box and very heavy. It was wrapped in red wrapping paper, and a big red bow was tied on it.
He first looked at the front passenger seat and said, “Thank you, Shen Qi Ge!”
Shen Qi didn’t try to stand on courtesy and directly accepted his thanks.
Only then did Fu Mingli consult his older brother about whether or not he could open it now.
Fu Mingyuan’s leg twitched. “En.”
Having gotten his brother’s mercy, Fu Mingli couldn’t hold himself back from opening up the gift.
Then, he saw a big book titled Five Year’s Worth of High School Entrance Examinations with supporting papers, for all subjects.
This wasn’t all, as there was also a stack of comprehensive subject textbooks to the side.
Fu Mingli: ….
Did his Ge really not buy all this?
The smile on his face froze.
Fu Mingli looked in a daze at the front passenger seat.
Shen Qi had already taken back his hand that had eaten tofu and stuck a lollipop in his mouth. It was orange-flavored and a bit sweet.
“No need to say thanks. In the future, we’ll all be part of the same family.
“If you like it, I’ll buy you some more after the new year. What do middle school students like now? Tch, I couldn’t find anything after searching on Baidu for a long time, so I went back to the bookstore and asked.”
Fu Mingli: …..
Was this the devil?!
This isn’t my male god, this is definitely not QAQ
Fu Mingyuan was a little surprised, but his expression didn’t change at all. He saw Fu Mingli’s expression in the rearview mirror, and he guessed what Shen Qi had bought and tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.
Then, in the midst of Fu Mingli’s expression of “I’m not listening, I don’t know, you guys are teasing me,” he solemnly opened his mouth and recited a long list of middle school students’ guidance books and papers.
“You should be pretty good after doing all of those.”
Shen Qi bit his lollipop and nodded. “When we go home, will Gege write it out for me? I can’t remember so many.”
Fu Mingyuan nodded, not paying a shred of attention to Fu Mingli in the back seat.
Fu Mingli: …..
He angrily took out his cellphone and sent a message to his classmate to vent.
After the episode with Fu Mingli’s gift, Shen Qi’s original nervousness had now disappeared. It was too boring to just ride in the car, and since they had been up all night and he had also gotten up early this morning, as soon as he leaned against the back of his seat, he fell asleep.
Fu Mingyuan found a place to park and covered Shen Qi with a blanket. Only then did he coldly look at Fu Mingli, who was MOBAing on Honor of Kings with his classmate.
Fu Mingli was startled by his Ge’s change in expression. He instinctively wanted to explain, but before he spoke, Fu Mingyuan silently stopped him.
Fu Mingyuan took a high school entrance exam book and put it in front of him.
Fu Mingli: ….
The Fu family’s old residence was also in A City. Compared with where Fu Mingyuan lived, where every inch of land was as precious as gold, the old residence’s location was a pricey location with few customers.
The people who lived here all had something to do with the previous generation.
After the car entered the parking lot, Fu Mingyuan asked Fu Mingli to go first.
Jiang Chuyao and Fu Zhen had already arrived home. At this moment, they were directing the chefs who had come with them on what dishes to cook in the evening.
Fu Mingli wasn’t quite happy. He glanced several times at Shen Qi Ge, but in the end he finally listened to his older brother and went in first carrying the big pile of New Year’s gifts
When Fu Mingli left, Shen Qi was awakened with a kiss.
The blanket on his body had already been taken away, the buttons of his shirt had been undone, and the back of the front passenger seat had already been reclined down. Fu Mingyuan leaned over and thoroughly kissed him.
Shen Qi instinctively grabbed the other party’s collar and raised his head. His eyes were still a little unfocused, and his face was a bit red.
“What’s the matter?” He half opened his eyes and breathed for a while before he gradually regained his senses.
Fu Mingyuan supported the back of the chair with one hand and lowered his eyes. His eyes were a little dark, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, “Where’s my new year’s gift?”
Shen Qi raised his eyelids, and the corners of his eyes were still red. They didn’t have much room and his legs couldn’t be fully extended, so he could only reach out and hook his arms around the other party’s neck. “Jealous ah, Gege?”
Fu Mingyuan swallowed, and his gaze stopped on his bright red lips. “En.”
Shen Qi came to his ear and whispered something.
Fu Mingyuan closed his eyes and let out another “en.”
The two people rearranged their clothes before they went in carrying the things.
