Qiu Zheyan once heard Zhuang

Hanxue mention his elder brother, but he did not elaborate. He only vaguely

knows that big brother is in his forties this year and lives abroad. He used to

be a business man, but now he has changed careers and very laid-back.

He don't know how the real

person is.

Zhuang Hanxue couldn't’ help

chatting with him in the car, and says, “My

brother is here to take his child for the second operation. The child he

adopted is sick and has to undergo multiple operations.

"That child was abandoned

because she was born sick. It must be because of patriarchy’s decision."

"Her parents are so

irresponsible. If they didn't want to raise a child, they shouldn't have them in the first place."

"Fortunately, she met my

brother. My brother will definitely raise her well."

"My big brother changed a

higher-paying job to raise this child."

Qiu Zheyan hurriedly

interrupted and said, "That means your niece is coming too?"

Zhuang Hanxue:

"Yes."

Qiu Zheyan: "Then I

should also bring a gift for the little girl. How old is she this year?"

Zhuang Hanxue thought for a

while: "Is it four or five years old?"

Qiu Zheyan glanced at the map.

After planning the driving

route and a few minutes of detouring, he went into a jewelry store in a

hurry, bought a gold bracelet, and said clearly: "It must be engraved with

words like blessings for health and longevity."

The clerk came up with three recommendations,

he quickly selected one, packed it and took it away.

Zhuang Hanxue glanced at the

phone and was surprised: "It actually took less than ten minutes."

Qiu Zheyan said, "We

don't have time to linger."

They rushed to the airport in

such a hurry, just in time, they found the place, and Zhuang Hanxue's

brother also showed up. This man doesn’t look like he’s forty-five years

old. He is very handsome and has a good temperament. He is a little taller than

Zhuang Hanxue. He hugs a little girl sleeping on his shoulder and pushing the

luggage cart with another hand.

Zhuang Hanxue smiled and said

hello: "Big Brother."

Zhuang Hanxue’s elder brother

was surprised and said: "You actually arrived on time?"

Zhuang Hanxue blushed:

"Because the driver is a punctual person."

Qiu Zheyan had an ominous

premonition in his heart.

But when Zhuang Hanxue's big

brother looked at him and asked, "This is your friend? Do you still have

such a reliable friend?"

Sure enough, Zhuang Hanxue

never mentioned him to his elder brother.

Qiu Zheyan always knew that

they were together because of his unilateral pursuit. So far, Zhuang Hanxue has

never promised him anything. Because of many lessons learned, he didn't

dare to ask Zhuang Hanxue to make sure.

How should he introduce

himself?

He originally thought that

Zhuang Hanxue's big brother was homosexuals himself, and he probably wouldn't

have any opinion on his younger brother being one. But thinking about it

carefully, it seems that he is not sure. His elder brother may not recognize

their relationship. There are also men who have brothers in the family, so

they feel that the responsibility of family reproduction can be entrusted to

their brothers, and they can pursue true love without being

restricted. What if his elder brother is this type of person?

But what frustrated him most

about this matter was that Zhuang Hanxue never mentioned him to his elder

brother.

Even though they had slept

many times, he thought they were in love.

It's better not to startle the

snake*.

*act rashly

【I am

his friend. 】——He

should introduce himself in this way to consider the overall situation.

At this moment.

Zhuang Hanxue scratched his

head and said lightly, "This is my boyfriend."

It was like throwing a bomb

casually.

Everyone was stunned.

Qiu Zheyan's face flushed.

His erratic confidence just

swelled instantly.

Zhuang Hanxue pulled him a bit

and introduced him to his stunned elder brother: "This is my elder

brother, Zhuang Hanchen."

Qiu Zheyan hurriedly handed

over the gift, because his body was stiff, as if the underworld kid saw his big

brother and bowed a standard 90 degree: "Big brother, hello, I am Qiu

Zheyan. I am Zhuang Hanxue’s boyfriend! This is a gift I prepared for you.”

He raised his head and met

Zhuang Hanchen’s sharp, needle-pointed gaze. His heart was pounding and the

emotion hit his head, becoming heated, so he bowed again, blurted out, and said

loudly, “I

want to marry him!"

Now let alone Zhuang Hanchen,

even Zhuang Hanxue was stunned.

Zhuang Hanxue laughed inwardly:

"You woke up my niece."

Qiu Zheyan's ears were red:

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Zhuang Hanchen felt a headache

at this scene of ‘chicken flying dogs jumping’*, sighed, and said, "Let's

go. I’ve booked the hotel. Take me to the hotel"

* [jī fēbaii gǒu tiào]:

Describe

the panic into a mess.

After getting in the car, Qiu

Zheyan said again: "I'm sorry, brother. I should have booked the

hotel."

Zhuang Hanchen said: "It

doesn't matter. I didn't expect you."

He seemed to have no interest

in taking Qiu Zheyan into consideration, and his attitude was cold from

beginning to end.

Turning his head to ask Zhuang

Hanxue: "Why didn't you tell me you now like men?"

Zhuang Hanxue said

disapprovingly: "You didn't ask me."

Zhuang Hanchen: "You

always have to tell your family when you are in love."

Zhuang Hanxue: "When you

fell in love with brother Qiming, no, you never told me. I didn't know until

you ran away with him."

Zhuang Hanchen was choked for

a while, and he was really wrong: "It’s not the same. How could I easily

come out at that time? I have always liked men, but when you were in your

twenties, didn't you change your girlfriend every day?"

Zhuang Hanxue immediately

retorted: "Where is there every day? Change one every week at most."

Zhuang Hanxue: "Is this

the point?"

Zhuang Hanxue curled his lips:

"You just assume that I suddenly bent."

Qiu Zheyan kept looking in the

rear mirror in panic, he could not join the battlefield of the brothers.

However, the war soon ended

with Zhuang Hanxue’s shamelessness: "Every time we meet, you start to judge

me, can you stop it? I am in my 30s. And the daughter is here. It’s not good quarrelling

in front of the children. Like our parents."

Zhuang Hanchen said: "You

are in 30s and not serious yet."

Although Zhuang Hanchen didn't

make it clear, he quarreled with his younger brother in front of him (QZY) it was obviously because he is not satisfied with his younger brother's boyfriend. But he

called "Big Brother", and the other party did not say no.

Qiu Zheyan diligently helped

carry the luggage, sent big brother to the door of the room, and cheekily asked

for the contact information, said: "Big brother, I will book a restaurant

for you tonight?"

Zhuang Hanchen refused:

"I made an appointment to take my child to the doctor in the afternoon. I

don't know what time it will be."

Zhuang Hanxue: "If you get

off work late, let me take brother to dinner."

Qiu Zheyan respectfully said:

"There is nothing to do today, I can leave work early. If there is

anything, you can call me anytime."

Zhuang Hanxue stayed with his

brother and went to the hospital to help run errands.

Qiu Zheyan hurried back to the

company. He was very efficient today. He waited for a call from Zhuang Hanxue,

but he didn't wait long and got off work early in the evening.

The dinner table is fairly

harmonious.

"How did you and my

brother know each other?"

"We got to know each

other when playing games online, and then we felt good about each other when we

got in touch.

"How long have you been together?"

"It's been officially two

months."

"It looks like you are

already living together?"

"Yes…"

"He told me that he

doesn't go to work and he plays at home every day? Do you agree?"

"Whether he wants to go

to work or not, I’m with him."

"But he is a man, how can

he not have a job of his own?"

"Uh…"

Zhuang Hanxue couldn't help

but interrupted and said, "What's the matter with this? Why do men have to

work hard and bear pressure? Why do men be laughed at for not working hard enough?

They are said to be useless and worthless. Don't you think it is wrong? Isn’t being

a house husband a contribution?"

The big brother said:

"You are wrong. If you are a human, you should have a job. Especially lazy

bones like you."

Zhuang Hanxue raised his chin,

and said confidently: "Xiao Qiu can afford me. I live as I want. I'm just not

promising."

Qiu Zheyan looked big brother

as he was angry, holding his breath, and thinking in his heart anxiously how to

play the round.

The big brother said:

"Your mouth is still very slippery. Also as house husband, do you cook,

sweep the floor, and do housework at home?"

Zhuang Hanxue said

shamelessly: "I don't do it. Xiao Qiu hired cleaning lady to do

housework. It's better for professionals to do this kind of thing."

The big brother asked:

"Then play at home every day? Eat and sleep and then eat? Don't you think

it's a waste of life?"

Zhuang Hanxue plucked his

fingers and said: "I have to play three or four games every day, a lot of

copies to do, walk the dog, play with Xiao Qiu, and sometimes go shopping. I

feel very fulfilling."

Qiu Zheyan quickly said:

"I cherish him very much and never ask him to do housework. I am with him not

to look for a maid at home."

The two of them sang together,

and the big brother was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhuang Hanxue said: "Why

do you have to fight and compete as a man? Can't you escape? Everyone has his

own way of living. You have your life, and I have mine. Although we are brothers,

we are still different. This is my life. I am very happy now. There is nothing

wrong with it."

The big brother said: "It

is impossible to be happy all the time...There will be times when you are

unhappy. What do you plan to do then?"

Zhuang Hanxue didn't seem to

take anything to heart. He didn't have the slightest distress, and said

heartlessly: "When the time come, I will talk about it then."

On the way home.

Qiu Zheyan said worriedly:

"Your elder brother doesn't seem to like me very much."

Zhuang Hanxue comforted him:

"I came out suddenly. I’m going to give him time to accept the reality. My

elder brother was around when I was a teenager and my parents didn't care about

me when we were young. He is more like a father than a brother. Even now,

he still subconsciously take care of me, it is his old problem. Please be

considerate of him. He has no malice."

Qiu Zheyan couldn't help

making up for a bitter drama. Irresponsible parents were working outside, the

younger son was left unattended, the elder son worked hard to raise the younger

brother, and the brothers depended on each other.

Of course Qiu Zheyan knew that

Big Brother Zhuang would definitely has no bad intention to his younger brother.

It was precisely because he was worried about this unassuming younger brother

that he would be so strict.

Zhuang Hanxue said: "He

is a paranoid person. He told me he was worried that I was deceived by you. I

explained to him for a long time, and my mouth was almost dry."

Qiu Zheyan puffed a little in

his heart.

He haven't had time to ask.

Zhuang Hanxue's thought jumped

to another place: "Ah, it's Jiang Ruoyun's billboard."

"By the way, as soon as

you met today, you told my elder brother that you want to marry me."

Speaking of marriage, Qiu Zheyan

had no time to worry about others, and his heart was immediately hoisted here.

Zhuang Hanxue seemed to think

of something interesting, and laughed to himself. He straightened his face and

imitated his elder brother's manner: "My elder brother said ‘he could said

marriage on his mouth casually. It was so strange that de deliberately said in

public, isn’t this coercion?’ Hahahaha."

After the performance, he

(ZHX) returned to normal: "I was also taken aback."

"I remembered when I saw

Jiang Ruoyun, she had also proposed to marry me before."

Qiu Zheyan was amused by his

words: "Really? Did Bei Yao also propose to you?" Bei Yao is also a

popular young actress.

Zhuang Hanxue said like

choosing a concubine: "That's not true. I don't like her type. At that time,

Xiao Yun proposed to get married, but I said no. She slapped me and we broke

up."

Qiu Zheyan was he telling a

story: "Okay, okay, you have told many times that you were popular with

women before."

Zhuang Hanxue said

regretfully: "Now that I am older, only you like me."

Qiu Zheyan said: "When

you were in your early twenties, I was a middle school student."

But when Zhuang Hanxue

mentioned his refusal to get married, Qiu Zheyan was still a little nervous,

and now he calmed down and thought, is this a hint of Zhuang Hanxue's tactful

refusal?

No, it is unlikely.

This man with simple thinking

like a paramecium could not do such a complicated thing as hiding a knife in

his words.

He just said whatever he

thought of.

Mostly half true.

It was true that a woman wanted

to marry him, and it was true that he refused.

Qiu Zheyan is extremely

impatient. He stared at the road ahead and thought, should he take this

opportunity to ask about Zhuang Hanxue's views on marriage.

Qiu Zheyan tentatively said:

"You seem to think I was joking. But in fact... If I said that I wanted to

get marry today, what do you think?"
