Aside from the change in the nominal nature of their relationship, Luo Hang seemed unable to perceive any difference between their current state and the past.
On the day filming wrapped, he was surrounded by fans as soon as he stepped out of the airport.
" Hangbao, you've worked hard to wrap up filming!"
Happy wrap-up!
"Baby, when are you going to be on a variety show again? I really miss you."
When will you release a new song?
Luo Hang quickly signed several names, and then, under the protection of security guards, successfully exited the airport.
The assistant said, " President Little Jiang is waiting in the parking lot."
Luo Hang nodded, his eyes lighting up, and followed his assistant to the parking lot.
A black Maybach was parked in the corner; the license plate number looked very familiar.
As soon as Luo Hang walked over, the car door opened automatically.
Jiang Qingye, dressed in a black suit, looked like he had just come from the company. He calmly looked at Luo Hang and said, "Welcome back, big star."
Luo Hang got into the car, and Jiang Qingye reached out to take his hand.
The two held hands.
Luo Hang asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Go home and rest," Jiang Qingye said. "Then I'll cook for you."
Luo Hang hesitated for a moment, "Could we go somewhere else first? I want to pick up a new member."
Jiang Qingye readily agreed.
Luo Hang gave the address, and the driver quickly drove there.
Upon arriving at the residential compound, Luo Hang put on a mask and hat and entered the compound by himself.
Jiang Qingye appeared to be playing on his phone casually, but in reality, he would glance at the time on his phone every now and then.
About twenty minutes later, when he looked up for the ninth time, he finally saw Luo Hang's figure.
He was holding a cardboard box in both hands.
As the car door opened, Jiang Qingye asked in confusion, "Weren't you picking up a new member?"
Luo Hang pursed his lips. "This is it."
Jiang Qingye thought of a possibility, reached out and opened the lid of the cardboard box, and a loud meow came from inside.
A chubby, snow-white kitten was staring at him with wide eyes.
Jiang Qingye then looked at Luo Hang: "Didn't you say you didn't like small animals?"
Luo Hang was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Given our past relationship, it's not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing."
Jiang Qingye looked at him for a few seconds, and finally said, "Okay, I'll reluctantly accept that reason."
Luo Hang got into the car and said, "Its name is Noble Consort, you should get to know it."
Jiang Qingye lowered his eyes, looking at the chubby little cat with a hint of disdain; "Why is it so fat?"
Luo Hang was a bit protective of his dog, "Where is it fat? It's clearly plump."
The chubby cat seemed to realize that Jiang Qingye was talking about it, and bared its teeth.
Jiang Qingye chuckled, then tapped its head with his finger. "I advise you to be nicer to me, or I'll bring home another kitten later."
The Noble Consort, who was used to being domineering, angrily scratched the cardboard box.
After Luo Hang finished filming this time, his agent gave him a month's leave.
During this month, Luo Hang witnessed the great battle between Jiang Qingye and the Noble Consort.
This person and the cat really can't stand each other and fight every day.
Luo Hang is both blind to love and fiercely protective of his child, making him a true opportunist who will side with whoever is wronged.
-
One day, Jiang Qingye went home for a meal. When he returned, the Noble Consort bristled with fur from the very doorway.
As Jiang Qingye changed her shoes, she looked at the kitten and asked, "What's wrong with you now?"
Hearing the Luo Hang came out of the bedroom in his slippers. "Why are you two fighting again?"
Jiang Qingye said innocently, "I just got back, and it's already bristling at me."
The upright official Luo Hang squatted down again, looking at the chubby cat. "What's wrong with you now?"
The Noble Consort concubine cried out in a pitiful voice.
Luo Hang turned around sharply. "Did you just hug another cat?"
Jiang Qingye was taken aback, then looked at the Noble Consort with a half-smile, "That's my father's cat. You're being a bit too domineering."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hang looked at the chubby cat and said, "You're being a bit too domineering."
Jiang Qingye's gaze fell on him again. "I can understand. After all, like father, like son."
Luo Hang: "..."
Before going to bed, Jiang Qingye read for a while as usual.
Luo Hang, lying on the bed, suddenly turned around and said, "I'm going out the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Jiang Qingye was taken aback. "The day after tomorrow?"
The day after tomorrow is Qingming Festival.
He seemed to have guessed as much, and nodded. "Okay."
Luo Hang pursed his lips and reminded him, "This might not be a good thing."
Jiang Qingye said, "Why isn't meeting the parents a good thing?"
Luo Hang had actually guessed that Jiang Qingye already knew about his family situation.
After all, he has matured a lot now and knows that Jiang Qingye's change began on the day of the school anniversary.
This place, No. 3 High School, holds far too many secrets.
It's not surprising that Jiang Qingye knew.
Luo Hang smiled and nodded.
-
As expected, it started to drizzle on the day of Qingming Festival.
Luo Hang was wearing a black hoodie and black jeans, and was holding a bouquet of lilies in his hands.
He led Jiang Qingye, Jiang Qingye was holding a large umbrella, and the two walked side by side in the cemetery.
"My mom loved lilies the most when she was alive. My dad didn't like flowers much; he always felt that buying flowers was a waste of money. But he would often buy them for my mom."
Jiang Qingye listened quietly.
He was wearing a black windbreaker and sweatpants today.
There were many people visiting the cemetery today, most of them dressed in black.
The windbreaker had a classic design, which made him look more youthful. He usually had a somewhat nonchalant expression, but today, because he was there to pay his respects, his expression was slightly more solemn.
His captivating peach blossom eyes unconsciously softened, making him appear more like his high school self.
The two arrived at the graves of Luo's parents.
Looking at the inscription on the monument, Luo Hang suddenly said, "Mom and Dad, I brought someone with me today."
He's the person I've had a crush on since high school.
"The first time I met him, I was being bullied, and he helped me."
Luo Hang recalled what happened that day.
The sun shone brightly that day. Because he always wore tattered clothes and didn't fit in with others, he was often bullied.
On that day, Jiang Qingye happened to be passing by.
She put her arm around his shoulder, laughing nonchalantly, and said, "How are you going to teach him a lesson? Tell me."
It was springtime, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and butterflies were fluttering their wings.
None of these could compare to Luo Hang's attraction.
The mountains and fields were covered in greenery, but nothing made him feel that spring had arrived more than Jiang Qingye.
Jiang Qingye listened silently as he spoke as if they were having a casual chat.
Suddenly, my heart ached.
He could remember the incident, but he couldn't recall the person with their head down.
This seemingly trivial matter remained etched in Luo Hang's memory for many, many years.
Jiang Qingye touched his earlobe and, in the fine drizzle, said, " Yanyan."
Upon hearing this address, Luo Hang's eyes widened slightly.
There is a sentence engraved on the inscription in front of us.
The person who erected the monument Luo Yan.
He changed his name when he entered the entertainment industry.
Many old stories disappeared into the past along with him discarding that name.
It's been a very, very long time since anyone called him Yanyan.
Jiang Qingye said earnestly, "If I had known earlier, I would have hugged you tightly and tried my best to remember you."
