Zhou Mo suspected he had misread it and sent three question marks in a row, asking: Who are you in love with?

Suo Yang stood up and stretched, then leaned against the window and replied: Shen Huiming.

A voice call came in from Zhou Mo.

“What’s the situation?” Zhou Mo said in surprise, “Why are you two secretly communicating behind my back?”

Suo Yang smiled softly, “We’ve known each other since before your birthday.”

“……Really?”

“Well, he was on a business trip to New York once and took my flight.”

Zhou Mo was even more surprised, “And then you saw each other after that? That’s not right! You’re not that kind of person!”

“It’s not true, but there are always unforeseen things.” Suo Yang briefly told Zhou Mo about the several ‘encounters’ he had with Shen Huiming, and after hearing that, Zhou Mo couldn’t help but feel that fate was really to blame.

“Ming ge is pretty good,” Zhou Mo said, “but this guy is really… What should I say to him.”

“Huh? What’s the matter?”

Zhou Mo sneered, “He’s really good at pretending. Did you know that?”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Didn’t I introduce Jiang Tongyan to you on my birthday? I originally wanted to introduce Ming ge to you,” Zhou Mo said. “but then he pretended to say that he had no intention of being in a relationship for the time being and that he should concentrate on his career first. Tsk, what a hypocrite! “

Suo Yang laughed out loud.

“Oh, but then again, you two hadn’t met each other yet at that time,” Zhou Mo said, “He’s also good at it too. Is this a case of seeing what you desire?”

It didn’t matter if it was a fling or anything else. The important thing was that they were together now, and Suo Yang could feel Shen Huiming’s sincerity.

“Does Jiang Tongyan know about this?” Zhou Mo said, “He’s in deep shit.”

“Why do you say that?”

“There is a curse between him and Old Shen. Haven’t you heard of it?” Zhou Mo laughed, “Whenever Jiang Tongyan likes someone, that person is bound to like Shen Huiming!”

Suo Yang laughed out loud.

He remembered this incident, but at that time, he didn’t feel that this ‘curse’ would come true to him.

However, Jiang Tongyan might not really have fallen for him. After all, he hadn’t contacted him since that meeting.

Zhou Mo was in a good mood as he listened to Suo Yang laugh.

He had always regarded Suo Yang as his best friend for so many years. When he saw that Suo Yang was finally willing to look for someone and found a good one, Zhou Mo was happy too.

“Where are you?” Zhou Mo knew he was at the hotel, “Old Shen didn’t fly with you, did he?”

Back in the days before Zhou Mo changed careers, Cheng Sen chased after him and flew with him at every turn. The two flirted with each other on the plane, and after getting off the plane, they looked for a place to rent a room. Life was so good.

“I’m in Rio,” Suo Yang said, “Huiming has a lot going on at his company, so he can’t just leave whenever he can.”

“Yo yo, Huiming!” Zhou Mo said with a gossipy laugh, “Calling so sweetly!”

Suo Yang laughed and didn’t say much.

“But it’s true, old Shen is all on his own. It’s very hard work,” Zhou Mo said, “Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. You should take the time to recuperate and come back to make up for your hard-working man.”

There was nothing Suo Yang could do with him; this man had always spoken immoderately.

“It’s time to hang up. I have to pack up and get ready to go out.” Zhou Mo muttered at the end, “I’ll have to find a chance to get old Shen to treat me to a big meal!”

“I’ll treat you.” Suo Yang said with a smile, “I’ll contact you when I get back.”

After he hung up the phone, Suo Yang smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.

This was the first time he had heard about Shen Huiming’s refusal to be introduced by Zhou Mo. He didn’t expect that there would be such a story.

Suo Yang, who had had enough sleep and didn’t want to go out with his colleagues, changed his clothes and wandered alone on the streets of Rio, wanting to see if there was anything he could buy back as a gift for Shen Huiming.

At this point, Suo Yang suddenly realized that the two of them really didn’t know each other well enough, and they didn’t even know each other’s likes and dislikes. He understood that he could only discover these things slowly in the future and write them down bit by bit.

He could even imagine that whatever he gave, the other party would accept it like a treasure and then say he liked it.

But he still hoped to match what he liked and hoped that what he gave to Shen Huiming was what the other party liked and could really use.

As he was walking along this road, he suddenly smelled the aroma of coffee.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he went to Shen Huiming’s company, he drank the coffee Jiang Tongyan gave.

Suo Yang stopped, followed the aroma, and looked around. He then finally found the source of the coffee aroma.

What he thought when he pushed the door open was: Next time, I want Shen Huiming to say that my lover brought this back from Brazil when he invited people for coffee.

He smiled self-deprecatingly. Why was he still feeling jealous?

===

The night before Suo Yang’s return, Shen Huiming stayed up all night to finish all the work he could handle so that at least he had half a day free to go and pick up Suo Yang.

He realised that he didn’t tell Suo Yang he would be there, and when he finally contacted the other party, he only said, “It will depend on the situation at that time”.

Life was always going to be a bit of a surprise!

Shen Huiming slept for over three hours, got up at seven o’clock, went to the nearby market to buy some ingredients, and left for the airport at almost nine o’clock, waiting to pick up his hard-working boyfriend home.

This kind of life was too blissful, which made Shen Huiming feel like he and Suo Yang had already lived a married life.

When he arrived at the airport, Suo Yang hadn’t landed yet, and Shen Huiming was really inexperienced in picking up a flight attendant and didn’t know whether he should wait with everyone at the international arrival exit.

He pondered for a while, found a coffee shop to sit down, sent a message to Suo Yang, and then waited there quietly.

This time, Shen Huiming had no urgent work, so he brought out the book with the coffee-stained cover and sat in the coffee shop at the far end of the airport lobby, holding his mobile phone and scrolling through Suo Yang’s Weibo.

In Rio de Janeiro, Suo Yang said he missed him.

Shen Huiming smiled and clicked on it, replying: I miss you too.

Shen Huiming didn’t have a Weibo at first, but when he was in Berlin last time, he knew that Suo Yang was playing Weibo, so he remembered it. In the past few days, on a whim, he also registered one.

He didn’t even bother changing his avatar and ID; the only person he followed was ‘Sky Mirror’.

After replying to Suo Yang’s Weibo, Shen Huiming saw Zhou Mo’s comments. Zhou Mo’s profile picture was a photo of him and Cheng Sen, but the photo only showed a part of Zhou Mo leaning on his shoulder. Cheng Sen’s face was not shown.

The bored Shen Huiming clicked on Zhou Mo’s Weibo, and the first thing he saw was: My best friend has been pigged out, and although the pig is not bad, it feels like a loss!

Shen Huiming probably guessed what he was talking about, smiled helplessly, and said to himself, Am I a pig?

From where Shen Huiming was sitting, he could see the blue sky at a glance. He put down his mobile phone, stared at the planes taking off and landing, and guessed which one of the returning planes had his sweetheart on board.

Suo Yang’s flight landed on time, and after finishing his work, he turned on his phone.

Shen Huiming said: I’m here, waiting for you.

“Yang ge, why are you so happy?” A colleague came in to change clothes, saw him standing there with his mobile phone and giggled, and deliberately made fun of him, “A lover?”

Suo Yang replied with a smile, “Yes.”

The other party was a little surprised and then congratulated again and again.

Suo Yang was anxious to see Shen Huiming, and after he changed his uniform, he didn’t chat with his colleagues. He made an excuse and left first.

After he came out, he called Shen Huiming, “Where are you?”

Shen Huiming said the location of the coffee shop he was in. He smiled and asked, “Miss me?”

Suo Yang smiled lightly and did not answer.

“I know even if you don’t say it.” Shen Huiming said, “You missed me when you were in Rio.”

Suo Yang was a little surprised, “Did you see my Weibo post?”

“From now on, just tell me directly if you miss me,” Shen Huiming smiled, “Showing love over the air, wouldn’t it be a loss if I don’t know?”

Suo Yang dragged his suitcase, passed through the noisy crowd at the airport, and walked quickly towards the coffee shop on the far side.

Him, “Okay, next time I miss you, I will tell you directly.”

“Where are you?” Shen Huiming asked, “I’ll go to your side to meet you.”

“No need, I…”

“I miss you,” Shen Huiming got up and walked outside, “If I can see you one minute earlier, I will earn an extra minute.”

The two big men, surprisingly so cringy, Suo Yang smiled so much that his ears burned.

The two walked towards each other on the phone like this and saw each other’s figures through the people they were passing by.

“Want to kiss you right here.” As they finally got closer and stood in front of the other party, Shen Huiming stared at Suo Yang, “It’s going to be hard to control myself.”

“But you still have to control it.” Suo Yang put the phone away and looked at him with a smile, “I’ll let you kiss me when we get back.”

This was already the most cringe thing that Suo Yang could say.

Shen Huiming was happy and led the other party out quickly.

However, although Suo Yang said that he would give him a kiss after they got back, actually, as soon as he sat in the passenger seat, Shen Huiming came over and took the opportunity to kiss him under the pretext of helping him fasten his seat belt.

“Why am I like this?” Shen Huiming said after kissing him, “Like a bad wolf.”

“You are aware of that, huh?” Suo Yang took his hand and squeezed it lightly, “Let’s go.”

Shen Huiming sat back and drove Suo Yang away from the airport.

He directly took Suo Yang back to his home and hugged him as soon as he entered the door.

Suo Yang smiled helplessly, letting him cling to himself childishly, and then slowly responded. The two kissed on the sofa for nearly twenty minutes before separating.

“Why is your face so red?” Shen Huiming asked with a smile.

“Why do you think?” Suo Yang looked at the other party, leaned forward and kissed him, “I brought you a gift.”

He patted Shen Huiming lightly, pulled him up from the sofa, and then went to open the suitcase.

“Coffee?” Shen Huiming took the two packs of coffee beans from him, “Why did you think of buying this?”

“Keep one pack at home and one pack at work.” Suo Yang said, “You like coffee, and I can buy speciality coffee from various countries for you in the future.”

Shen Huiming smiled while holding the coffee beans and asked, “Do I smell vinegar1?”

Suo Yang, a little embarrassed, turned away from Shen Huiming, squatted there, and pulled the suitcase back up.

“Jealous of Jiang Tongyan too?” Shen Huiming went over and hugged him from behind, “Okay, go for it. You are so cute when you are jealous.”
