Chapter 31 Yes, We Decided to Get Married Next Year
The last time was in a special situation, not to mention giving Shen Boyan a red envelope, but recognizing Shen Boyan as his son's boyfriend had gone through a psychological process.But now, the two elders have accepted that their son is gay and has a boyfriend, so naturally they still have to give what should be given.
"Tell me, how much is appropriate?"
"..."
Xia Shu'an thought it was funny when he imagined the scene of a man receiving a big red red envelope from his mother.He held back his smile and said:
"Then you pack a thousand."
"Is one thousand enough?"
"That's enough. Now our family only has a few small shops. It's just an ordinary well-off family. It's almost [-]."
"Hey." Mother Xia sighed:
"Do you know what gift Xiao Shen gave today? It's a string of emerald necklaces. My mother used to be a rich wife anyway. This necklace doesn't have tens of millions, but at least five or six million. We'll just give one thousand. How can I say it? .”
Xia Shu'an said: "Then do you have any gold bracelets that you want to pass on to your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Xia glared at him: "What are you talking about?"
"Okay, okay, you go out."
"I knew it was useless to find you!"
"..."
Xia Shu'an was kicked out of the kitchen again. Now he found out that after he had a partner, his status in mother's heart dropped rapidly, almost to the level of a brat at home.
Xia Shu'an was pushed open the door dumbfounded, just as Shen Boyan was walking towards the kitchen, watching him come out in embarrassment, he was probably also watching a good show in his heart, but with a gentle smile on his face, he asked considerately:
"what happened?"
"It's nothing." Looking at his flawless smiling face, Xia Shu'an said sincerely:
"I'm saying you look good."
Shen Boyan accepted the compliment with a smile.
Because Shen Boyan didn't go back at night, he was free in the afternoon.Although Shen Boyan was "patient", he couldn't always let him talk to his parents. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Shuan took him out.
"My elementary school and junior high school are nearby, do you want to go and have a look?"
In the car, Shen Boyan fastened his seat belt and said, "Okay."
"But you can't go in, you can only look outside."
"It's okay, just take a look."
Xia Shu'an's elementary school and junior high school are linked together. This is a well-known local private middle school. It has an elementary school. In fact, there is also a high school. Social and independent skills are not very good, and he was changed schools when he was in high school.
Thick walls blocked the sight of the two, and they could only see the six-story teaching building and the big trees that were almost at the same level as the building.At this point, the school is over, and the campus is empty, which makes Xia Shu'an inexplicably melancholy.
"I have studied here for nine years, and so has Chu Wenzhi, but we are in the same class in junior high school. I also have a very good friend, whom I met in kindergarten, named Lu Xin, who is now studying abroad."
"Master Lu."
"Well, he is very nice, and I will introduce you to each other later."
Xia Shu'an glanced at Shen Boyan, seeing that he did not show any resistance, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared with the verbal confrontation with Chu Wenzhi, Lu Xin really had a real fight with Shen Boyan. The two hit each other from the head to the flesh a few times, and each time the two of them had blood on their faces. All wounded.Shen Boyan couldn't "convince" him physically, but he wanted to force Xia Shu'an to apply medicine to him, and even asked him to put a band-aid on his face. …
Um, right?
Speaking of which, Shen Boyan is a lot taller than Lu Xin, and his physique is also stronger than him. He was a mess before, why was he beaten so badly by Lu Xin?And every time?
Xia Shuan was in a daze, Shen Boyan asked:
"anything else?"
"Also? There is also my high school, but the high school is a bit far away. I went to a public high school, and it is also very famous in the local area. I got in by myself..."
Xia Shu'an's high school also looked lonely in the bleak winter wind, and the two of them drove around in a large circle, as if they were tourists from other places.At four o'clock, Xia's mother called and told them that there was no food at home and what food they wanted to buy.
The two went shopping in the supermarket, and it was almost five o'clock when they got home.The sky is already dark and unclear, and street lights are needed to see the surroundings clearly.Xia Shu'an got out of the car first, and watched Shen Boyan take things from the trunk.In the same direction as Xia Shu'an and the others, another car drove in.
Xia Shu'an also lives in a single-family villa, which is very private, but they have lived here for more than [-] years, and they also have neighbors.When the Xia family was in trouble, the neighbors of this family also gave a lot of help.
After the car stopped, a little girl ran over from the public aisle bouncing around, followed by a chubby little boy.
"Brother An An!"
This is a pair of twin brothers and sisters. Xia Shu'an used to play with them often. They haven't seen each other for several months. They are obviously very happy to see him.
"Brother An An!"
Xia Shu'an reached out and touched the girl's head: "Are you going to class?"
They still had backpacks on their backs, and the girl said delicately, "I'm going to write, my hands hurt so much."
The boy also ran closer: "Brother An An, the flowers you sent are dead!"
"It's because it's winter, and next spring it's going to bloom again."
"Really?"
"Really, but take good care of it, and it will bloom again next spring."
"Okay then, I'll let Mom and Dad take good care of it."
Shen Boyan also parked the car at this time and came over. He was tall and strong, with a strong aura, the little girl was so frightened that she hid behind her brother.
The boy shouted: "Who is this?"
Xia Shu'an: "It's my brother's boyfriend."
"What!" The boy was shocked: "What about Yuanyuan!"
"We have agreed, you marry Yuanyuan, and then we can be good brothers for a lifetime!"
Xia Shu'an: "When is it?"
"..."
"Yuanyuan, Hengheng, what are you doing?"
When a young couple approached, the woman raised her face and looked at the two of them, her face suddenly froze.
"Mr. Shen."
She quickly glanced at Shen Boyan, then quickly glanced at Xia Shuan next to her, and finally her eyes trembled, and she withdrew her surprised gaze.
Xia Shu'an turned her head and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Shen Boyan: "Maybe I've seen it somewhere."
He nodded slightly towards the woman: "Hello."
"Mr. Shen. Shu An is back. I see that uncle and aunt miss you for a long time."
"Yuanyuan, Hengheng, don't make trouble, we should go back." The woman smiled at Xia Shu'an again:
"Let's go back first, and come to play another day."
"it is good."
After all, the woman and the man led the children home.
Xia Shu'an slowly turned to Shen Boyan, and said, "Sister Fei works in an event planning company."
Shen Boyan: "Maybe I've seen it somewhere."
Shen Boyan is a big shot in the business circle, it is not surprising to anyone who has seen him before, Xia Shu'an didn't care about this any more, took a bag from him, and walked into the house with him.
This meal in the evening was also very pleasant. After the meal, Xia's mother went up to clean up Shen Boyan's room.
Although - he and Xia Shu'an are boyfriends, unless there is no room at home, or the two are married, in the eyes of Xia's father and Xia's mother, the two still have separate rooms to sleep in.
Of course Shen Boyan would not have any objections.
In the evening, he and Xia Shu'an watched the video tape together. Father Xia and mother cherished his growing up moments. From childhood to adulthood, he would accompany him to participate in important occasions, and he would also make videos. The trajectory of his growth was like flower petals scattered around. It was light and fluffy, but when I picked it up, I found that it was already a thick stack.
Shen Boyan said a few sao words as usual at first, but not long after the video started playing, he was completely immersed in it.
Both of them were sitting on a blanket, facing a huge LCD screen.The man's eyes are looking at the flickering screen, his body is in a natural state, and his expression changes slightly with the emotions of the boy/teenager in the picture. Even at some moving moments, his eyes will be filled with a kind of A soulful glow.
That kind of concentration looks like looking at some treasure.
Xia Shu'an felt a little cramped. He used to think that this was a record of the past, but now he had an inexplicable feeling that the barrier called time had been broken and someone had touched the past with his palm. He couldn't tell whether it was discomfort or numbness.
The weak, pitiful and helpless Xia Shu'an pursed her lips, silently circled her legs, and curled herself into a ball.
The video of Xia Shuan's growth was too long, and it didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening. Xia Shuan even went downstairs to change the water several times in the middle.
The last time he walked in:
"Your……"
He bit the bullet and said, "It's time to go to bed."
Shen Boyan turned his head to look at him quietly, the greed in his eyes was like the thick black mist in the early morning of late autumn.
Xia Shu'an couldn't help but took a step back, sternly: "It's past ten o'clock." He was going to bed.
Shen Boyan glanced past his red and swollen eyes from sleepiness, and then got up.
"Okay." He said in a pitiful tone from top to bottom: "Then take it back and look at it."
"..." Well, this is very Shen Boyan.
Xia Shu'an watched him enter the next room.
Living in the "boyfriend"'s house is a novel experience for Shen Boyan, and it is also for Xia Shu'an.After ten o'clock in the evening, the two returned to their own bedrooms, separated by a wall, so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.
Naturally, Xia Shu'an didn't hear Shen Boyan's heartbeat, but he could feel what he was doing now. When he closed his eyes, he could clearly see Shen Boyan looking around the room, and his face was always hazy, with With a contemptuous and arrogant expression.
Maybe he would also imagine what Xia Shuan was doing at the moment. After closing his eyes, Xia Shuan's face would appear in his mind, and then his brain would keep looping through the photos or videos he had seen today.
This was an absolutely impossible experience in her previous life. Xia Shuan suppressed the novelty and took a breath.
He had a vague feeling: tomorrow will be a sunny day.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Xia Shuan was the last to wake up, and when he woke up, everyone else was already downstairs.When he went downstairs after washing, he saw Shen Boyan chatting with his parents in the living room.
Do they have so much to talk about?Xia Shu'an stepped down the last step, and heard:
"Yes, we are going to get married abroad next year—"! ! ! !
Probably because the expression on his face was too frightened, his mother said with disgust: "What are you doing standing there, come here to serve food."
Xia Shu'an followed his mother into the kitchen in a daze.
"Mom, what were you talking about just now?"
"Of course it's about your marriage."
Xia's mother had a face full of people: "Same-sex marriage is not yet open in China. Although foreign marriages are not beneficial in China, it is a proof of sincerity."
Xia Shu'an: "Would it be too fast?"
"Why is it so soon? Didn't you mean immediately? Don't you two have any future plans for your relationship?" Speaking of this, Xia's mother also became suspicious. She looked at her son with the wise and alert eyes of someone who came before:
"You haven't planned for the future, haven't you thought about the future?"
"Yes." Xia Shu'an was instantly in awe:
"Yes, we have decided to get married next year."
......
The two future couples, who decided to get married next year, went to the table to eat with mysterious smiles.Fortunately, the two elders took into account the face of the newcomer and didn't mention it again.
Time passed quickly, because Shen Boyan received a phone call, it seemed that he had work to deal with, Xia's father and Xia's mother did not keep the two of them, and let them go after lunch.
The only accident happened before they left.
"That, Xiao Shen."
Xia's mother suddenly called Shen Boyan to stop, and the two turned their heads at the same time. Xia Shu'an seemed to have sensed something, and stepped back silently.
Mother Xia stepped forward with a loving expression.Shen Boyan has experienced ups and downs in shopping malls, and he has seen many people who hide their swords behind their smiles, but it has never been like this now that someone has shown the loving appearance of an elder in front of him.
In the mall, the more smiling you are, the more vigilant you must be.Shen Boyan couldn't help showing a bit of guard:
"Xiao Shen." Xia's mother said slowly: "It's also the first time you've come home, so come more in the future."
Shen Boyan was still vigilant, and answered concisely and cautiously: "I will come."
"This is a red envelope, not much money, it represents our heart."
As she said that, she took out a big red red envelope that is common during Chinese New Year, and handed it out to Shen Boyan.
Shen Boyan was stunned, with a rare look of bewilderment and bewilderment on his face, as if he had encountered some century-old problem.He turned his head to look, only then did he realize that Xia Shu'an had stepped back a few steps at some point."I don't know anything" expression on his face.
Shen Boyan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and then turned his head back. He had already closed his face, and looked like a well-behaved junior:
"Thank you auntie."
"I will definitely treat Xiao Shu well."
"Xiao Shu"'s pupils trembled, but Mother Xia was overjoyed:
"Okay, okay, remember to come often in the future."
"it is good."
It wasn't until he got into the car, and the car slowly entered the main road, that Shen Boyan asked, "You knew that earlier?"
Xia Shu'an was still reminiscing about Shen Boyan's performance just now, he was amused in his heart, with a natural expression on his face:
"You know what? Red envelopes? This is a custom."
Shen Boyan looked at his face and narrowed his eyes dangerously again, but for the sake of the heavy red envelope just now, he decided to let him go for now.
But Xia Shu'an became interested: "Hey, how much money is there?"
Shen Boyan gave him a sideways glance, and threw the red envelope in his pocket to him.Xia Shu'an quickly opened his mouth, and before he could look carefully, he let out a "wow".
"A lot of money!"
The exaggerated look made the corners of Shen Boyan's lips curl up again.
"Let me see how many there are."
Xia Shu'an counted with a serious face. His way of counting money was unprofessional at first glance. He even wanted to count one by one. He counted a stack of red banknotes for a long time, and finally said in an exaggerated tone:
"Five thousand, she gave you five thousand!"
Shen Boyan said with a nonchalant expression on his face, "A lot?"
"It's a lot, I obviously only asked her to prepare one thousand."
Shen Boyan frowned suddenly: "Only a thousand?"
"Well, because the average level is one thousand, she gave you five thousand, which means she is very satisfied with you."
"..." After a while, the man let out a short voice:
"Ah."
Xia Shu'an looked at his side face with an obviously happy expression, and thought that he was really easy to coax.
The two people passed this weekend for different reasons, but both of them felt relaxed.Shen Boyan might have an idea of what to do, but he was too busy to implement it, so he was called to the company.
The intensive work, with a high concentration of attention, finally ended before 7 pm.Before leaving get off work, Assistant Lin handed over an invitation letter.
"This is a charity dinner co-hosted by Mr. Zhang of Shengda Group and his wife. You are invited to attend."
Shen Boyan tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.Suddenly, he asked:
"Can you take someone there?"
Assistant Lin quickly understood the sentence: "Yes, you can bring a companion there."
"Understood, let it go."
