Chapter 80 Tired

After working hard for half a year, it can be regarded as finishing all the decoration matters.

The house is facing the river, and the designer specially asked the designer to arrange floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. As soon as you enter the door, the sky is full of light, and the river is sparkling outside the window.

Three bedrooms and two living rooms, with an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, Yang Sheng felt that it was quite a waste when buying a house, after all, they usually live together.

Xia Zang just smiled, saying that even a larger area can be used for waltzing.

Yang Sheng thinks so too, when the time comes to free up a space for a gym, it will just help her husband control his weight.

"Can you not install the treadmill?" Xia Zang asked weakly.

Yang Sheng smiled: "Then you must pretend."

One master bedroom, one second bedroom, the one next to the window and connected to the balcony is used as a study.

The bookshelves are built against the wall, and the space in the middle is set aside to place desks and rocking chairs; the balcony is placed with short trees and long grass, planted with roses, and every month it will bloom very similarly to roses; in addition, there are two dwarf gardenias They raised it when they lived in a rented house, but it is a pity that it has already entered the autumn when they officially moved into the new house, so they can only see two clumps of low-key shrubs, but not the snow-white and fragrant flowers.

I usually live in the master bedroom, the decoration style is warmer and yellower, and the decoration is simple, following Yang Sheng's preferences.The wardrobe is built into the wall and does not take up much space. Clothes are divided into different categories for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Xia Zang is in charge of this one.

Although neither of them likes to tidy themselves up, and they can both sleep at home with sheets on the rest days when they are not working, but compared to Xia Zang, Yang Sheng is even more incapable of tidying up.

After they got together, Yang Sheng never bought clothes by himself, except for close-fitting underwear, he wore everything else mixed with Xia Zang.

"Buying clothes is so troublesome." The man said this confidently.

Sometimes when Yang Sheng needs to attend some formal occasions, Xia Zang has to put in extra effort to help him put on a formal suit, lest he go out wearing a denim jacket.

The layout of the second bedroom is similar to that of the master bedroom, but the area is smaller. When family and friends come to visit, they can live in this one.

The living room near the bedroom is used as a living room, with lazy sofas, bean bags, low bookshelves, a projector, and a treadmill and a basket-mounted swing near the window.

The swing was chosen by Xia Zang. It looks like a half-open birdcage, covered with fluffy cushions and square pillows. The two of them can sit on it and swing together.

The kitchen is very spacious and can accommodate two chefs to work, steaming, frying and frying at the same time.

There are two bathrooms, the larger one is mainly used as a bathroom, and a long bathtub is installed. Xia Zang bought several fruit-flavored bath agents online for this purpose.

Yang Sheng worriedly looked at the shelf life of each bottle, but fortunately, they can be stored for almost one year; but it seems unrealistic for the two of them to use up the several liters of bath agent within one year.

Several batches of friends from the city have come, colleagues from their respective units and classmates from college, to celebrate the joy of housewarming.

Yanxu and Haoyue were far away in Xiyu, and they also specially arranged a trip, saying that they would come and take a look.

About two years ago, the two of them got married, and Xia Zang was so surprised that he asked questions frantically in the small group of four.

Jiang Yanxu also said with a smile that it was rare to see Brother Xia so excited.

Yang Sheng said, you can't blame him for being excited, you don't have any signs of this.

Of course, Yang Sheng had noticed something long ago, so he deliberately found Haoyue who had been silent in the group, and asked her if she really made up her mind.

"Yanxu has always been simple and easy to guess. It is impossible for him to tell us such a big event. And you, you are a safe person, and you haven't made any noise in these years." Yang Sheng sighed.

"You can't hide anything from you, Teacher Yang." Haoyue just smiled on the other end of the phone, "Indeed, we just see that we are old and don't want to waste time with other people, so we just make do together."

"But you have to know," Yang Sheng paused, "Yanxu..."

"He likes men, I know." Haoyue didn't take it seriously, "It happens that I don't like men, so when we get married, we will continue to be friends, but we just got an extra certificate."

"Yue Yue, why are you so confused about this matter!" Yang Sheng was caught in his heart, and Xia Zang patted him on the back before coming along.

Resignedly continued: "And he doesn't like men, he is completely free to do whatever he wants, before confessing to his ex-boyfriend, he even liked the girl in the class next door to us!"

"Oh, I remembered, he's bisexual." Haoyue said, unable to hear her emotions, "But these years, I haven't seen him fall in love again."

"He's been with you all these years." Yang Sheng said, pointing to the end.

He knew that Haoyue understood, the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, Haoyue said: "Let me go talk to him."

As a result, Yang Sheng received a call from Jiang Yanxu the next day, and Xiao Jiang, who had turned into Old Jiang, cried for a while, and finally said with a sob: "I confessed to Ah Yue."

"Well, you are going to marry her." Yang Sheng snorted coldly.

"Although I also know that she still regards me as a friend, I am satisfied if I can speak clearly." Jiang Yanxu was still wiping tears, "I thought I would never have a chance in this life."

"I don't quite understand the situation of the two of you, and didn't you take the initiative before?" Yang Sheng asked suspiciously, "Why do you stop and stop when you come to the moon, and you will only suffer from it?"

"I used to take the initiative because I was young and ignorant." Jiang Yanxu replied, "You don't know that it was because you were too active before that you caused a lot of trouble."

"I think you care too much about the moon, I'm afraid you can't even be friends with her." Yang Sheng said.

"But in fact, she doesn't know how, she is so sensible." After a long pause, Jiang Yanxu said slowly, "But to be honest, I'm still a little bit unwilling, Sheng'er, I'm only superficial with Ah Yue Husband and wife or something."

"Then you should start pursuing her formally from now on. Anyway, the window paper will be broken, and it will be embarrassing to take a step back." Yang Sheng suggested.

"She really doesn't like me. I...have met someone she really likes before."

"But that time I accompanied her to someone else's wedding."

During that phone call, Old Jiang chattered a lot, many of which Yang Sheng didn't understand very well.

There is no way, they have been separated by thousands of mountains and rivers all these years, even if their friendship has not been broken, it is impossible for them to be clear about each other's affairs.

Yang Sheng sighed that feelings in this world are the most unpredictable and also the most helpless.

Fortunately, he and Xia Zang didn't have such hard twists and turns, it was a great luck.

Later, Yang Sheng and Xia Zang specially asked for leave and flew to Xiyu to attend the wedding of their old friends.

Both parents are happy with the groom, after all it seems the two have been in touch since their high school days.

Haoyue was brought up by her father alone since she was a child. Jiang's mother has always loved her very much. When she and Yanxu were not mature, she was treated as a goddaughter; Yanxu is a child who has never lacked love, cheerful Being tolerant and understanding, Uncle Qiu's precautions against boys, like fire prevention and theft, were slowly relieved.

On the day of the wedding, Uncle Qiu was still ill, unable to lead Haoyue into the venue in a wheelchair.

Yanxu and Haoyue suggested that Yang Sheng should act as his elder brother to fulfill Uncle Qiu's obligations.

Yang Sheng couldn't refuse no matter what, and Xia Zang was also agitating, so he had no choice but to agree.

"It can be regarded as a matter of his concern." While waiting, Haoyue looked at the main table, in the direction of her father.

So Jiang Yanxu said that she is the most sensible, and it is quite reasonable.

Yang Sheng could only sigh helplessly, and called out, "Moon."

But this round of onlookers can't solve it, not to mention that he is a friend, so he is in a dilemma.

She didn't want Haoyue to waste her marriage, nor did she want Yanxu to pay by mistake.

In the end, I still had to send the bride into the venue in front of all the guests, and said a lot of blessings as the woman's family members, and the voice fell: "Long life together, a long time."

Yanxu was genuinely happy, but when she shook hands with Haoyue, she restrained herself, and only said in a low voice: "Ayue, you should grab my arm."

I'm used to this distance.

After all, Haoyue is a soft-hearted person, she clasped her hand and did not let go, standing side by side with Yanxu, listening to the master of ceremonies recite the wedding vows at a leisurely pace.

Yang Sheng stood at the side of the stage, looking across the flower gallery and red carpet, he could be regarded as meeting Xia Zang who was sitting at the main table with the bride and groom's parents.

Because of his worries these days, Xia Zang was not too interested in the wedding, so he looked at him questioningly after seeing the situation on the stage.

Yang Sheng shook his head lightly.

After the wedding, the couple returned home full of rewards; the parents of the bride and groom knew a little about their relationship, and when they parted, Mother Jiang also sent them elder-like blessings as a representative.

Jiang Yanxu interjected, "Mom, they've been together for almost 15 years."

"Oh." Mother Jiang was surprised, "That's really good."

Not to mention that I haven't noticed it yet, it turned out that such a long time has passed, and it has become the praise of "it's so good" in other people's mouths.

On the way back, leaning against each other for a nap, Xia Zang asked Yang Sheng: "Do you think the two of them can make it to the end?"

Yang Sheng closed his eyes and replied, "It depends on whether the moon can walk or not."

After hanging up the phone with Haoyue before the wedding, Yang Sheng received a photo of the sticky note she took, and immediately understood that his friend wanted to chat with a pen.

With the development of communication and the distance, they have not passed notes as childishly as in classrooms for many years.

Haoyue's note told Yang Sheng a simple story, saying that she met a special person when she was young.

"At that time, I had no concept of marriage, but if I think about it, if the marriage partner is her, it would be something worth looking forward to."

"She is a few years older than me. When I was in high school, she had already gone to other places to study in college. I told her that I liked it at that time, and then she replied that I liked it. But liking has too many meanings. She The tone and demeanor let me instantly know that we are not talking about the same thing. But I am also glad that I still like it when I write it."

"I've been thinking about it over the years. Logically speaking, I should let her go. I have to like someone again, whether it's a boy or a girl. But no matter who I meet, I won't feel that marrying her is a big deal anymore. Very nice thing."

With one stroke at a time, Yang Sheng used his handwriting that he had practiced a little over the past few years to write as lightly as possible: "But this is not fair to Yanxu."

"Yes, it's all my fault for being hasty." Haoyue replied, with no sadness or joy in the words.

"Moon," Yang Sheng wrote, "have you ever thought that your nostalgia for that sister is a projection of your mother's emotion?"

"You also said that you had no concept of marriage at that time, so let me guess. Your concept at that time was that two people could live together after getting married. You thought it would be a good thing to live with her."

After a long while, Haoyue didn't reply, Yang Sheng put down his pen and squeezed onto Xia Zang's beanbag sofa, grabbed his arm and asked him to tell Freud again.

After getting off the plane, Yang Sheng received "Bon voyage" from Haoyue.

And the sentence "I will seriously consider it".

But after two years, the couple's marriage is still safe and sound.

In order to welcome the two of them, Xia Zang personally cooked a large table of delicious dishes, but Ren Haoyue ate sweet and sour pork ribs and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The chef said that his specialty dishes are not these two, let’s take a look at the steamed fish and glutinous rice balls.

Yang Sheng picked out a meatball and swallowed it in one gulp, then added a spoonful of soup to the chef and put it on the fire, leisurely reminded Lao Jiang who was serving Haoyue's food, "I'll be fine later in the afternoon, I'll take you two to the hospital Let's go shopping."

It made everyone at the table look at him strangely, Xia Zang was the first to react, but he grabbed Yang Sheng's arm and said "oh" for a long time, but there was no reason for "oh".

After all, he was the first to discover that his mother was pregnant with Xia Tong.

"How about it, is this married life okay?" Yang Sheng sat on the hospital bench with Haoyue, waiting for Jiang Yanxu and Xia Zang to come back with the report.

Originally, Jiang Yanxu was asked to pick it up alone, but because he was not familiar with the place where he was born, he didn't know much Cantonese, so Xia Zang took the initiative to ask Ying to go with him.

Lao Jiang bluntly said that it would be much more at ease with Brother Xia by his side, because Xia Zang seemed particularly stable.

"It's not bad (it's not bad)." Haoyue curled her lips, and finally laughed out of embarrassment, "It just seems to make him wait for a long time."

"It doesn't take long for him." Yang Sheng said slowly, but he saw Jiang Yanxu striding towards him from the other end of the corridor, and Xia Zang dragged him to babble continuously.

"Calm down, Yanxu, don't scare Haoyue."

"Don't worry, Brother Xia, I'm calmer now than ever before."

Yeah?Flying far away, Yang Sheng and Haoyue saw Lao Jiang who was about to take off, and they felt somewhat reconciled.

When the two approached, Yang Sheng quickly got up and dragged his husband aside, leaving enough space for Comrade Jiang to hug Haoyue and circle around.

"I'll just say, don't get excited." Xia Zang helped his forehead helplessly.

"Brother, do we have to start preparing for the full moon ceremony?" Yang Sheng planned ahead.

It was the joy of housewarming and another joy, double happiness, Xia Zang bought a table of sauerkraut for dinner.

For many days to come, Yang Sheng would not allow him to enter the kitchen again.

Originally, it was possible to buy a house two years earlier, but it was not until a year ago that legal guarantees for same-sex couples living together were introduced in turn, including joint property.

However, there is still a long way to go before I can actually get those two red books.

Originally, Yang Sheng planned to write Xia Zang's name directly on the real estate certificate. The reason was that he was a lawyer, and he would not suffer legal disadvantages no matter what.

Then Xia Zang "cleaned up" him, and made a final decision, saying that he would not plan to buy a house until a clear law was promulgated.

In the end, Xia Zang really got what he said, and within two years they successfully bought a house. It was a good location when they first started working, and how to decorate the house had been described hundreds of times in their hearts.

After the friends' first round of visits was over, Xia Zang and Yang Sheng welcomed their mother and uncle to visit.

It took my uncle a long time to slowly digest the fact that they are a couple. He refused to say that he could not come to Nanzhou, but his mother threatened that if you didn't follow this year's trip, he would cancel it.

Rake's ears finally compromised, and it is said that he also practiced micro-expressions along the way to give the couple a good impression, so that the travel itinerary would not be canceled by the wife.

During the period, it was inevitable to make some old mistakes, giving pointers on the decoration of the room, and the mother calmly yelled at the side, saying that the two children had already finished the decoration and let you talk nonsense here.

In the end, in order to save face, the uncle made a concluding speech: "I also saw it on the government's official account. The country now has a series of policies and laws to protect your rights and interests. You should also live well and create more value. To give back to the country and society.”

Xia Zang and Yang Sheng looked at each other, both suppressed their smiles, applauded tacitly and sincerely, and nodded repeatedly: "You are right!"

The mother looked out of the french windows in embarrassment, thinking that she didn't have such a husband and son-in-law.

The meeting with relatives and friends is over, and the work is also over. I plan to go out to visit some niche attractions, but when it’s the holiday, I lie on the bed for most of the day, looking at the ceiling.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to do some hooligan things for in-depth communication, but I was so tired after kissing and touching for a while, I just slept with my arms in my arms for the rest of the day.

Don't fuss about dinner, just have a simple porridge, and discuss the rest of the holiday at home to catch up on sleep.

It's also rare to be clean.

How should I put it, after the age of 30, both of them have also entered the rising period of their careers. They are both busy with work and dealing with different social circles; compared with their school days, the time left for each other is obviously much less.

Some time ago, Yang Sheng joked that the two of them were so busy that they could only maintain physical communication, and sometimes they felt tired even from physical communication, so they simply slept and communicated in their dreams.

There are exaggerated parts, but Xia Zang also agrees with the simplicity and roughness of physical/physical communication; many words do not need to be uttered at their age, and they can roughly understand the other party's mind with a look and a frown.

Now I am free, and I have woken up from sleep, nestled together in the rickety swing basket, each reading their own books, without saying anything, the air is very quiet and comfortable.

What Yang Sheng held in his hand was the love diary written by Xia Zang when he first fell in love in high school.

On the seventh anniversary of their love, Xia Zang wrapped the book layer by layer and officially gave it to Yang Sheng as a gift.

I haven't encountered the legendary seven-year itch. Although there are quarrels, quarrels, occasional trips to different places, or being tired of socializing, there are many trivial awkwardnesses and twists and turns, but as long as the two of them sit quietly After staying together for a while, nothing happened.

Yes, it won't be a big deal.

The days passed by inadvertently like water, making Xia Zang gradually mellow, and the wedding ring embedded in the ring finger; it also caused some wrinkles in the corners of Yang Sheng's eyes, and sporadic frost and snow on the ends of his hair.

It seems that they rarely have the passionate emotions of crying and laughing when they were young. When they calm down, they are tired and like an old friend who doesn't know how to visit abruptly, but with each other by their side, they will let it go .

It is the exchange of enthusiasm for the confidence of staying together, and the years are the most impartial witnesses.

But Yang Sheng would still look at Xia Zang's previous text with a smirk and feel embarrassed, obviously the book has been wrinkled.

And Xia Zang would also scramble in his heart for this joy, like the panic of not knowing Yang Sheng's situation and his own mind at the time, but also mixed with the sweetness of ignorant expectation.

Even after so many years, I still love you very much.

Like the lines in that old love poem:

The sun has slowed down since before,

I only love one person in my life.
