Qiu Xing gently pulled at Xie Yang’s hand. “Go in.”

Xie Yang retracted his gaze. He saw Qiu Xing who still didn’t look at him and changed his slippers, following this person obediently. There were many Christmas decorations in the living room as well as a small and exquisite Christmas tree in a corner by the window, many gift boxes piled underneath.

“I hope the inside of the gift boxes are all full.”

Qiu Xing followed Xie Yang’s gaze and squeezed his hand. “How can I give you anything empty? Let’s go and eat.”

The two of them walked into the dining room. Qiu Xing let go and turned on the light. The warm lights came on and a rich dinner spread out in front of Xie Yang’s eyes. In the center of the table, a large bouquet of roses bloomed warmly.

“I don’t want any regrets about our first day because of our health.” Qiu Xing walked to the table, turned around and finally stared directly into Xie Yang’s eyes. “Thank you for your hard work during this time… Yang Yang, welcome home.”

Xie Yang might’ve guessed it but he was still moved. He showed a brilliant smile, stepped forward to embrace Qiu Xing and placed his chin on this person’s shoulder.

“Thank you for preparing this. I love it.”

Qiu Xing hugged Xie Yang and touched his back in a cherished manner. The two people hugged silently before tacitly releasing each other. They stared at each other before moving closer. The scent of food and flowers floated in the air. Xie Yang felt that this should be his most memorable and favorite date in his life.

They were intimate for a while before Qiu Xing escorted Xie Yang to his seat. He set up the tableware for Xie Yang, rearranged the warm dishes on the table and walked to the dining room’s window that had the curtains closed.

Xie Yang glanced at the curtains and then at Qiu Xing. He asked with a smile, “Are there any other surprises?”

Qiu Xing didn’t answer. He just took a look at Xie Yang before opening the curtains.

The dining room window faced the backyard. The moment the curtains opened, dots of light turned on. The window frame surrounded a fairytale sea of stars shining through from the backyard. The fountain in the center was slowly spraying water with flashing lights and there was faint music. In the middle of the white European-style pavilion by the lake, a tall Christmas tree stood surrounded by all types of gifts. The chibi doll of Xie Yang in Christmas clothes hung at the top of the tree.

The pavilion should be specially lighted. From time to time, lights flashed on the Christmas tree like a dream.

Qiu Xing wondered, “How is this one… compared to the one at the gate of the community?”

Xie Yang returned to his senses. He saw that Qiu Xing obviously wanted praise but was pretending to be calm. This made him smile. “This one looks better.”

Qiu Xing’s mouth curved up with satisfaction. Then he thought of something and his expression became serious. He stared at Xie Yang in a warning manner. “Even if you have inspiration, you can’t stay up late to create it.”

Xie Yang smiled and nodded. Qiu Xing walked back, touched Xie Yang’s face and bent over. Xie Yang closed his eyes.

After the kiss, Qiu Xing stepped back and watched Xie Yang for a while before returning to his senses. He coughed and said, “We should eat. The food is going to be cold.”

The two of them finally started eating. The dishes on the table had been specially ordered by Qiu Xing. The dishes on Xie Yang’s plate were obviously richer than Qiu Xing’s plate. Xie Yang noticed this and his legs under the table moved and rubbed against Qiu Xing.

Qiu Xing stopped as he was picking up noodles with a fork and raised his eyes to see Xie Yang. Xie Yang’s expression was serious. “I think you should ask Dr Kirkman now… it is better to make this a more complete date, don’t you think?”

Qiu Xing’s Adam’s apple moved. He was just about to speak when the doorbell abruptly rang.

“……”

The ambiguous atmosphere broke instantly. Qiu Xing frowned and glanced at the door. Xie Yang also looked in the direction of the door. He retracted his legs and said, “I guess it is Feng Qinglin.”

“…I’ll take a look.”

Qiu Xing got up and walked to the door. Xie Yang followed him. The two people came to the entry hall and looked outside through the doorbell camera. They indeed saw Feng Qinglin’s face.

Qiu Xing, “……”

Xie Yang was amused. He patted Qiu Xing on the shoulder and soothed him. “He didn’t mean it. Let him come in first. It is cold outside.”

However, Qiu Xing suddenly reached out to grab Xie Yang’s shoulder. He took Xie Yang into his arms and pressed the intercom button. “I will let Zhou Miao pick you up to go to Master Liao’s house to rest. Go to bed early and adjust your jet lag well.”

“Eh? What? Uncle—”

Qiu Xing ruthlessly hung up and stared at Xie Yang in his arms. “I will go and call Dr Kirkman… you promised. Today it is just me and you.”

Xie Yang spoke deliberately. “However, Feng Qinglin rushed over as soon as he got off the plane—”

“This is our first date.”

“Feng Qinglin seems to have something very important—um.”

Qiu Xing bit Xie Yang and stepped back. He stared at Xie Yang with an expression that said ‘if you dare to put a third person into the house, you are done for’. Then he told Xie Yang, “It is late. We should rest.”

Xie Yang didn’t make a fuss. He touched the bitten place, hugged this person back and took the initiative to raise his head.
