Qiu Xing followed Xie Yang’s gaze and saw the excited girls. He noticed they were looking over and nodded lightly as a greeting. Then he got in the car and closed the door.

Qiu Xing’s phone rang soon after the car started driving. He frowned, took out his phone and took a look. Seeing that it was Feng Qinglin’s call, he stopped frowning and turned on speaker mode after answering the call. “What is it?”

“Uncle, how is your health? I just came back from abroad and saw the news on the Internet.”

“I’m fine.”

Feng Qinglin’s tone relaxed. “That’s good. Uncle, I want to go to your place. Is it convenient? Are you in the hospital or at home? I still have something to tell you.”

Qiu Xing paused strangely before replying, “You just came back from abroad. You should go home, rest and adjust the jet lag. I’m fine. You don’t have to come and see me.”

He actually refused?

Xie Yang glanced at Qiu Xing. Qiu Xing might love to lecture Feng Qinglin and was very duplicitous but he never refused Feng Qinglin’s concern. Something was wrong.

Qiu Xing became tense when he saw Xie Yang’s eyes and his speed when talking suddenly accelerated. “Stop talking. Go home and have a good rest.” Then he hung up and put away the phone.

Xie Yang just watched Qiu Xing.

“…Today is our date.” Qiu Xing reached out and pulled Xie Yang into his arms, pressing a hand against the back of Xie Yang’s head. “I just want to be alone with you today.”

Xie Yang raised his eyebrow before smiling and hugging Qiu Xing back. In his heart, he apologized to Feng Qinglin who had come back for Qiu Xing’s birthday.

“Okay.” He raised his head and kissed Qiu Xing. “Today, only the two of us will be together.”

The Dingsheng Community had also put up many Christmas decorations. In addition to some small surprises, there was a large and exquisite Christmas tree placed at the gate of the community. Many children were playing around it.

Xie Yang took out his phone and took a photo.

“Do you like the Christmas tree?”

“It’s good.” Xie Yang saved the photo. “I just had a sudden inspiration and want to write a holiday song.”

Qiu Xing was instantly alert. “Don’t stay up late.”

“I won’t stay up. I will accompany you to maintain our health.”

Only then was Qiu Xing satisfied. He glanced critically at the Christmas tree on the screen of Xie Yang’s phone and scoffed.

After arriving home, Xie Yang found that the house was completely dark as if no one was there. He glanced sideways at Qiu Xing beside him. This person’s face was calm like he hadn’t noticed the abnormal darkness at home. He just said, “Let’s go.” Then he opened the door and got out of the car first. He walked around to Xie Yang’s side and helped open the door.

Xie Yang looked at Qiu Xing who never met his eyes the entire time outside the car. Then he looked at the dark house. He probably guessed what Qiu Xing was doing and couldn’t help smiling. He reached out to take Qiu Xing’s hand and got out of the car.

Qiu Xing immediately squeezed Xie Yang’s hand and led him to the house. Xie Yang followed. Neither of them spoke but the atmosphere was warm. Qiu Xing finally spoke after opening the door. “Turn on the lights.”

Xie Yang touched the switch obediently.

Click.

Some small star lights lit up at the top of the entry hall and the star-like lights spread out warmly all the way to the living room. Through the gap in the partition, he could vaguely see many Christmas decorations in the living room.
