Where on earth are you taking me?” Lin Zi Rui asked when they're already in the car.
"Go to your godson's one year old birthday party."
"He’s your godson not mine! Why should I go with you?" Lin Zi Rui stared out of the window.
"Because you are his godmother ah." Yang Shao Yu answered without thinking.
Even as he heard Yang Shao Yu’s answer, Lin Zi Rui’s eyes continued to look out of the window, as if he hadn't heard anything. After a long time he finally spoke, "Why did you say it like that?"
"What's why?" Just as they happened to stop at the red light, Yang Shao Yu stopped to look at Lin Zi Rui.
"Nothing." Lin Zi Rui answered dryly.
Why did everyone always turn back when I already gave up?
Perhaps what he lacks most is courage. When he was pursuing Yang Shao Yu before, he felt that he had consumed all his courage in one go. So right now even if he wanted, he may not have the courage to respond to Yang Shao Yu’s enthusiasm anymore.
Ke Xin was reading a book upstairs. This habit is pretty similar and can be said has cultivated Ke Yan’s behavior as well.
Lan Ru Yin walked in and sat on the chair, sulky. Her expression was solemn. It was rare to see her like this, so Ke Xin put down his book and took off his glasses, asked: “ What happened to you?”
" Nothing! Your good son is back." Lan Ru Yin said in resentment.
" With Jiang Qi?"
" How do you know?"
"Didn’t I told you before I’ve met with him last time? Such a good boy." Ke Xin rarely praised others.
"Humph, how do you know that he is a good boy." Lan Ru Yin paused and continued, "but it's true that he is quite fine, if only ..." Lan Ru Yin shook her head and messed up her freshly made hair.
Ke Xin hasn't seen his wife being so irritated for a long time. " What's wrong exactly?"
"It’s nothing! I'm just not very satisfied with this hairstyle." Lan Ru Yin left the study room and planned to fix a new hairstyle for her hair.
Ke Xin looked at Lan Ru Yin's back thoughtfully. Didn’t she sat at the dressing table last night and look at the mirror for a long time and said she was very satisfied with the hairstyle?
"Jiang Qi, it’s time for Xiao Ke to drink his milk." Aunt Li took a bottle and handed it to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi took the bottle and Xiao Ke immediately got excited when he saw the bottle in Jiang Qi's hand. "Drink, drink milk."
Jiang Qi froze and said, "He can speak."
"He’s already one year old. Of course, he can speak." Ke Yan glanced at Xiao Ke, who started to drink his milk after taking the bottle.
Xiao Ke drinks his milk, holding the bottle in one hand, and clutched one of Jiang Qi’s fingers tightly in the other. He leans comfortably on Jiang Qi’s body.
"It's so cute." Jiang Qi excitedly grasped Ke Yan's hand as he watched Xiao Ke.
When Ke Xin came down, he saw such a harmonious picture. Jiang Qi was sitting on the sofa holding Xiao Ke in his arms drinking milk, while Ke Yan sat and watched them both silently.
Ke Xin raised his eyebrows as he was looking at them.
If Jiang Qi turned and see what Ke Xin looks like right now, he would be surprised to find how similar Ke Yan and his father’s expression when they frowned.
"Jiang Qi, it’s the first time I saw Ke Yan bring a friend back." Ke Xin’s voice was a bit loud.
" Uncle, how are you." Jiang Qi quickly called out respectfully to Ke Yan’s father. Since he was holding Xiao Ke and he was drinking milk, he didn’t get up but still greeted Ke Yan’s father in a polite manner.
" En. Come here let Grandpa hug you." Ke Yan’s father reached out to Xiao Ke.
“Gu lu..gu lu ." Xiao Ke continued to drink milk, ignoring his grandpa. Not only that, he drilled deeper into Jiang Qi’s arms.
Ke Da was rejected, and he retracted his hand without any embarrassment. "This child likes you very much." Ke Yan’s father told Jiang Qi.
" En. Xiao Ke is very cute." Jiang Qi answered with a smile.
" Come here baby, mother hugs you." When Xiao Ke still drinking, Ke Shao suddenly came in to pick up and brought him outside to her friends.
Jiang Qi looked at Xiao Ke who happily nestled in Ke Shao’s arms with reluctance.
" Go up and take a break first ba. The party will not start so soon." Father Ke looked at the time and spoke.
Jiang Qi nodded, and Ke Yan, who had never spoken the whole time, stood up and led Jiang Qi to his room.
Ke Yan's room is very similar to the room in their house. The only difference is that there is an extra study area in the room.
An off-white table with several books, photo frames, a desk lamp, and a black pen holder. There is also a shelf right behind the desk.
Jiang Qi picked up the photo frame to take a closer look. Two of the photos were taken with Ke Yan and his family, one was taken when Ke Yan in college and the other picture was taken when Xiao Ke was born.
When Jiang Qi was holding the frame, Ke Yan came and leaned on Jiang Qi’s back and held his waist. "It's a pity that you are not there with me."
" I'm here." Jiang Qi reached out and pointed at the position of Ke Yan's chest in the photo.
" Is it here?" Ke Yan took Jiang Qi's hand and put it on his heart.
" You will always be here." Ke Yan said, bowing his head and kissing Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi’s heart beats furiously and he felt mellowed by Ke Yan sweet confession. His heart was filled with joy and contentment…
The two were lying on Ke Yan's bed to rest. Jiang Qi looked at the sky outside and it was near evening, so he asked curiously, "Why does the party starts so late at eight o'clock. Xiao Ke should be sleepy."
"My brother in law is on a business trip, and he probably can get back around eight."
"Oh ... Ke Yan, should we adopt a child?"
Ke Yan bowed his head and kissed Jiang Qi's forehead tenderly. "Wait two more years okay. I haven't had enough time to spend with you yet."
"Well, okay." Jiang Qi buried his face in Ke Yan's arms. Ke Yan agreed, but how could two men adopt a child? Thinking about this, Jiang Qi's mood unconsciously plummeted.
Ke Yan naturally felt when Jiang Qi's mood dropped, "What's wrong?" He raised Jiang Qi's head to see his face.
"We are both men, how do we adopt children?"
"Don’t worry, just leave everything to me." Jiang Qi was relieved when he heard Ke Yan’s guarantee.
The two were lying down together but with different mentality. Jiang Qi was a bit sleepy, but Ke Yan was thinking of a way to adopt a child. If they wanted to adopt a child, it is best to find a child just a few months after birth. If the child was a little older, the relationship might not be intimate. Ke Yan could almost imagine Jiang Qi's sad expression if that happens.
After the day turned dark, both of them sorted out their appearance and went downstairs together.
When they came down, everyone was preparing to have dinner. Watching the two of them come down, Ke Shao urged them to eat: "Come and eat something first to fill up your stomach. When the guests come later, you may not have time to eat.”
Jiang Qi went downstairs and accidentally found Lin Zi Rui amongst them. He was sitting with Yang Shao Yu. Dr. Lin and Shao Yu finally get together?
Jiang Qi’s eyes were sending signals to Ke Yan.
I don’t know.
Ke Yan looked back.
Lan Ru Yin saw their silent communication. After glaring at Ke Yan for a while, she finally decided to ignore them once and for all.
The crowd ate, and after a while the guests came one after another.
The entire Ke family went out to the garden outside, and even Yang Shao Yu was pulled together to entertain.
Jiang Qi and Lin Zi Rui were also sitting on a swing in the garden. Jiang Qi smiled at Lin Zi Rui and chatted with him, "Dr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you recently?”
"En, I’m fine. You can just call me Zi Rui."
"Zi Rui, how are you and Shao Yu?" Jiang Qi felt that it was easy to warm up to Lin Zi Rui.
Lin Zi Rui hesitated for a moment and laughed, "I don't know." I don't know if they are good or bad, or is he what he wants?
When Jiang Qi heard his answer, he stopped asking and chatted with Lin Zi Rui about other things. The two unexpectedly had something in common.
Lin Zi Rui also knew that fate had to be grasped, but he still cowered. At the same time, he was hoping that Yang Shao Yu wouldn't shrink back and scared away by him. This is the mentality Lin Zi Rui was struggling with at the moment. He was actually a contradictory person. Lin Zi Rui frowned but the wrinkled immediately smoothen when he look straight ahead. Yang Shao Yu standing far away from him but he was looking and smiling at him in a rogue way. As if to say, am I handsome?
Lin Zi Rui almost laughed out loud, but he quickly held back and converged. He still don't want to forgive him right now.
