Suo Yang did not like to express his feelings and was not very good at it. For Suo Yang, those sweet words were not so easy to say, and Shen Huiming knew this very well.

       From the time they got acquainted to the time they fell in love, Suo Yang only said only a handful of cringy words, but on this night, when Shen Huiming was working till dizzy, Suo Yang seemed to have finally opened himself up and willing to confess his deepest feelings to him.

       For Suo Yang, liking someone might not be the most challenging thing. Admitting that he likes the person was the most difficult thing.

       But now, he was willing to admit and tell the other party.

       Because he wanted Shen Huiming to be happy, and on a busy and exhausting evening, a little bit of happiness might make life a little bit easier.

       Shen Huiming didn’t expect that his little tricks in Moscow would be discovered like that. Now Suo Yang said such sweet words with a gentle smile in his eyes, but he felt a little embarrassed.

       “So I was found out.” Shen Huiming chuckled, “I didn’t dare to hold it too much at the time because I was afraid I would annoy you when you woke up.”

       Suo Yang was actually a little sorry. He could feel that Shen Huiming had put a lot of thought into him. Shen Huiming’s life was not easy, and being tossed by him like this must be so tiring.

       He squeezed Shen Huiming’s hand, “Hurry up and eat. The food will be cold later.”

       Shen Huiming nodded with a smile and ate obediently.

       The love talk was over, and the stomach was full after dinner.

       Shen Huiming continued to work at the table, and Suo Yang tidied up the lunch box and threw it away.

       When he came back from throwing out the trash, he happened to pass by the pantry. He remembered that Shen Huiming was going to make coffee before, so he turned around and walked in.

       He turned on the light, stood by the door and scanned around.

       Shen Huiming’s company pantry area was quite large, complete with all kinds of utensils, drinks and instant food in stock. There were two small round tables near the window for people to rest.

       Suo Yang saw that the coffee beans he had brought were placed on the shelf, so he walked over to prepare to grind some coffee beans and make a cup of coffee for Shen Huiming.

       He was not as obsessed with coffee as Shen Huiming, and he couldn’t even distinguish the difference between coffee from different places. The only coffee knowledge he had about coffee was for work.

       But the coffee beans were very fragrant. He held it in front of his nose and smelled it, and he could smell the rich aroma through the bag.

       He ground the coffee beans and made coffee. Suo Yang was surrounded by the mellow aroma of coffee in the pantry by himself.

       A cup of coffee was ready. He hesitated for a moment and did not add sugar.

       He remembered that Shen Huiming never added sugar or milk.

       Suo Yang returned to Shen Huiming’s office with the coffee. The other party looked up at him, and he smiled and said, “Mr. Shen, your coffee is ready.”

       The two looked at each other and smiled. As if they were on the plane, Suo Yang served Shen Huiming a cup of coffee in the middle of the night.

       Suo Yang carefully put the coffee by Shen Huiming’s hand and said softly, “Thanks for your hard work.”

       Was it that much of a hard work?

       It was definitely hard to work overtime at this hour, but with someone to keep him company and someone to love, the suffering was not so unbearable.

       Afterwards, Shen Huiming worked until almost eleven o’clock, and Suo Yang, who had enough sleep, took a book from his bookshelf and read it to accompany him.

       When the two left the office building, some of the offices in the building were still lit. Everyone was trying to survive and live with their tired bodies and drooping eyelids and had no time to enjoy the brilliant night sky and the night breeze. 

       It might sound a bit heavy to say, but everyone was crawling forward like this.

       ===

       After a few days of not seeing each other, everything happened as a matter of course—Suo Yang stayed over at Shen Huiming’s house as a matter of course, and Shen Huiming kissed Suo Yang and fell into bed as a matter of course.

       On a night without the slightest hint of alcohol, the two of them were like two balls of flames, and the sheets were like a forest, burnt to nothing but ashes.

       Shen Huiming wished to live this kind of life with Suo Yang every day in the future— holding hands to and from work and hugging each other to sleep on the same bed.

       But he knew very well that he could not rush.

       He would not let Suo Yang make sacrifices for him, whether in life or in work.

       Since Suo Yang liked his job, then he should continue to roam in his blue sky.

       To enjoy flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet and to enjoy love on the ground full of traffic.

       Before drifting off to sleep, Suo Yang felt a kiss landed on his forehead; he subconsciously hugged the other man tighter and soon fell asleep.

       Suo Yang had no dreams all night and slept soundly, even more deeply than he slept in his own home.

       In the morning, he was woken up by the ringing of the alarm clock and turned over with a frown. Before he woke up, he saw Shen Huiming, who was wearing an apron, rushing in to turn off the alarm clock on his phone.

       Suo Yang lay there wrapped in a quilt and looked at him a little absent-mindedly, all in a daze.

       Such Suo Yang looked more soft and cute. Shen Huiming leaned over with a smile, gently rubbing his messy hair, “Did I wake you up?”

       Suo Yang shook his head and grabbed his hand.

       At seven o’clock in the morning, Suo Yang didn’t want to get up yet, but Shen Huiming was already full of energy, making breakfast for his boyfriend.

       “You can lie down for a while longer.” Shen Huiming said, “I’ll put it in the pot to keep the food warm when it’s ready, so you can eat it when you get up.”

       “Are you leaving?” Suo Yang glanced at the time.

       He had almost forgotten that Shen Huiming had to go to work today.

       “Seven thirty.” Shen Huiming said, “I have to go early today.”

       Suo Yang thought for a while, then sat up.

       When he got up, the quilt slid down to his waist, and the bright crimson mark under the collarbone was very eye-catching.

       But Suo Yang himself didn’t know that there was a hickey there.

       Shen Huiming looked at the hickey, and his heart was tickled, but he was going out later, and there was no time for him to fool around.

       “What? Not going to sleep anymore?”

       “Well,” Suo Yang pointed to the hanger beside the bedroom wall, “Help me with my pyjama pants.”

       Shen Huiming smiled and went over to help him bring over his pyjamas.

       Suo Yang got dressed and walked out of the bedroom with Shen Huiming.

       One of them went into the kitchen, and the other into the bathroom.

       By the time Suo Yang finished washing up, Shen Huiming’s breakfast was ready.

       During the meal, Shen Huiming asked him, “What’s the arrangement for today?”

       “I’ll meet up with you later,” Suo Yang said, “I’ll go home first.”

       Shen Huiming nodded.

       “Go back and tidy up briefly, and then maybe meet Zhou Mo for dinner.”

       “Zhou Mo?”

       “Well, after he knew about our affairs, he insisted on asking me to treat him.” Suo Yang smiled, “I guess he just wanted to hear gossip.”

       Shen Huiming also smiled, “Okay, when the time comes, you can decide the time and place. I can accompany you if I have nothing to do here.”

       “Aren’t you busy today?”

       “I have a meeting this afternoon, and I should be fine after that.” Shen Huiming took a sip of water, “You can’t be so busy every day; you have to have some time to relax and to do romance.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “Okay, I will be in touch then.”

       After the two left, they parted at the gate of Shen Huiming’s residential area. Originally, Shen Huiming wanted to send Suo Yang back, but Suo Yang said, “It’s too troublesome for you to go back and forth during the morning rush hour. I’ll take a taxi and go back.”

       They are not children, so there was no need to engage in the drama of insisting on sending someone home, not to mention, it was just a taxi on the side of the road, so there was no need to worry about it.

       The only problem was that Shen Huiming wanted to see Suo Yang more.

       He pulled over and stopped until Suo Yang took a taxi and left, then returned to his car and drove towards the company.

       After parting, they went about their business.

       When Shen Huiming arrived at the company, he began to deal with the affairs at hand and prepare for the afternoon meeting, while Suo Yang went home to pack his suitcase, wash his clothes, and then take a comfortable bath.

       Their lives seemed to be the same as before, but great changes had taken place.

       Suo Yang made an appointment with Zhou Mo to have dinner together and then spent time alone at home leisurely.

       At three o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Huiming sent a message asking him what he was doing.

       At that time, Suo Yang was about to change all the sheets and quilt covers and was halfway through the process when he called Shen Huiming.

       “Changing the quilt,” Suo Yang asked, “Are you done?”

       “Well, I’m getting ready to leave early.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “Then… come to see me?”

       “To your house?” Shen Huiming was quite curious as he had never been to Suo Yang’s house.

       “Well, do you still remember where my house is?” Shen Huiming sent him back on the day the two confirmed their relationship. At that time, Suo Yang wanted to invite him to sit down, but Shen Huiming was in a hurry to go to the company.

       Suo Yang said, “Why don’t you come over and have dinner together with Zhou Mo tonight.”

       “Of course I remember!” How could he forget the address of Suo Yang’s house?

       Shen Huiming was happy and agreed cheerfully.

       Suo Yang’s house was quite far from Shen Huiming’s house. When Suo Yang bought a house, he deliberately chose a place close to the highway out of the city. It was convenient to go to work1, and this side of the city was much quieter than the city centre, and the house price was also much lower.

       Shen Huiming company wasn’t too far from the house, and he drove for nearly 40 minutes to get there.

       Before he went there, he bought a bouquet of red roses and rang the doorbell of Suo Yang’s house with the flowers in his hand.

       When Suo Yang came to open the door, he had already cleaned up the house, and everything that needed to be changed and washed had also been tidied up.

       This place, which seldom had guests, was really welcoming a distinguished guest this time.

       When Suo Yang opened the door, the first thing he saw was not Shen Huiming but the big bouquet of red roses.

       He froze for a moment, then laughed.

       “What is this for?”

       “For you,” Shen Huiming said, “it’s the first time I give roses to someone, and I feel like I’m in an idol drama.”

       Suo Yang looked at him with a smile and took the flowers from his hand.

       “Come in.”

       Suo Yang prepared slippers for him and stood aside with flowers in his arms, waiting for him to change his shoes.

       Shen Huiming followed Suo Yang into the house. This not-so-big apartment was clean and tidy, with good lighting.

       It turned out that our handsome flight attendant lived in a house like this. Shen Huiming scanned the room and thought it was really nice here.

       Suo Yang had a vase at home, but he had never bought flowers. He and Shen Huiming sat on the floor and trimmed the roses and then put them into the vase one by one.

       The autumn afternoon sun slanted in through the bright windows, wrapping the two of them and the rose in soft light.

       Shen Huiming looked at Suo Yang who was fiddling with roses with his head down, and said softly, “I want to kiss you.”
