Suo Qingjun Chapter 61
bymandarin duck
The day Song Xu was discharged from the hospital, the sky was bright and clear, and the wind carried the warmth of early summer.
Xu Baiyan came to the hospital early in the morning and helped pack things. He moved gently, for fear of touching his back, which had not fully recovered.Jin Xianling and Qing Feng’an also came. In the trunk was pigeon soup specially cooked by Qing Feng’an, saying it was the best for replenishing the body.
The queue for discharge procedures was a bit long. Xu Baiyan volunteered to queue up. Song Xu leaned on a chair in the corridor and waited. He could not hide the smile in his eyes as he watched the young man crowded in the crowd and looking forward on tiptoe.
Qing Fengan and Jin Xianling stood aside and whispered.Jin Xianling stretched out her hand to straighten Qing Feng’s collar that was messed up by the wind, her movements were natural and intimate.The sun shone in through the windows in the corridor and fell on the four of them. It was warm and dispelled the last trace of the desertedness of the hospital.
After the formalities were completed, the four of them drove home.Xu Baiyan was sitting in the passenger seat, chattering about interesting things in the past few days, saying that the peony downstairs had bloomed, that his new manuscript had been praised by the editor, and that they would go pick strawberries after Song Xu was completely healed.
Song Xu listened and responded from time to time, his eyes falling on the side of his face, so gentle that he could drown in water.
Back in the apartment, Xu Baiyan was busy, opening the windows for ventilation, and pouring pigeon soup into a casserole to warm, like a small top that kept spinning.Song Xu leaned on the sofa, looked at his busy figure, and suddenly said: “Xu Baiyan.”
“Hey! What’s wrong?” Xu Baiyan stuck his head out, his face was stained with some flour, looking silly.
Song Xu waved and motioned for him to come over.
Xu Baiyan ran over, squatted in front of him, looked up at him: “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Can I get you some water?”
Song Xu shook his head, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped the flour off his face with his fingertips. His voice was low and clear: “Do you still remember what you said in the hospital?”
Xu Baiyan was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on his face: “What are you talking about?” He burst into tears in the hospital and talked so much nonsense that he couldn’t remember clearly.
Seeing him like this, Song Xu couldn’t help but smile. The smile in his eyes was like a lake where pebbles were thrown into.”You said that as long as I can get better, you are willing to do anything.”
Xu Baiyan blinked, vaguely remembering that he was really anxious and crazy at that time, and he said everything.He patted his chest, rubbed his neck and said, “Of course I remember! Tell me, what do you want me to do? I will go up to the mountains of swords and the seas of fire, and I will do it without hesitation!”
Jin Xianling and Qing Fengan on the side also looked over, with a bit of smile in their eyes.
Song Xu looked at him with serious eyes and said word by word: “Then you, be my partner.”
Xu Baiyan’s head buzzed, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze.He opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time. The expression on his face changed from blank to shocked, and then from shocked to red.
At that time, he was only worried about Song Xu and could not hear clearly what Song Xu said next. He just kept agreeing.
“I…I…” Xu Baiyan’s tongue was tied, his cheeks were so red that they could bleed, and his eyes were evasive, not daring to look into Song Xu’s eyes.
Seeing his panic, Song Xu felt so weak in his heart.He reached out and gently pinched his chin, forcing him to look up at him. There was a hint of smile in his voice, but it was extremely solemn: “What? Do you want to regret it?”
“I…I didn’t!” Xu Baiyan shook his head quickly, his heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat, “I just…just…”
He just didn’t expect that Song Xu would say this.
Song Xu looked at him clenching his fists nervously, leaned over and got close to his ear, his warm breath brushing against his ear, with a bit of confusion: “Don’t want to?”
Xu Baiyan’s ears instantly turned red. He raised his head suddenly and looked into Song Xu’s deep eyes.Those eyes were filled with tenderness that he had never seen before, and full of smiles.
He looked at it and suddenly smiled, with his mouth wide open and his eyes as bright as stars.
“Yes!” Xu Baiyan’s voice was loud and a little excited, “I am willing!”
A smile instantly appeared in Song Xu’s eyes. He raised his hand and gently rubbed his hair. The temperature of his fingertips made Xu Baiyan’s cheeks heat up.
Jin Xianling on the side whistled, put his arms around Qing Fengan’s shoulders, and smiled narrowly: “Congratulations.”
Qing Feng’an also curved her lips, her eyes full of smiles: “It’s time to celebrate.”
Xu Baiyan’s face turned even redder. He threw himself into Song Xu’s arms, carefully avoiding his back, and said in a muffled voice: “Song Xu, you have already planned this, right?”
Song Xu chuckled, stretched out his arms to hug him, his force was gentle but firm: “Yes, it has been planned for a long time.”
The sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the two people embracing each other, and also on Jin Xianling and Qing Fengan, who are looking at them with smiles.
The pigeon soup simmering in the casserole made a slurping sound, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of meat and warmth.
The peonies on the balcony are blooming just right, one by one, as bright as the sunset on the horizon.
The joy of surviving the disaster, and the affection hidden in the heart, finally bloomed the sweetest flowers on this warm afternoon.
In the days to come, with each other by our side, every year will be complete.
From then on, there was another pair of mandarin ducks in the world.
