TEOTWDWTEFTCLB Chapter 80

Extra: Neighborly Love (HE)

When the first ray of sunlight shines in the morning, Shen Xuanmo always habitually stares at the beautiful youth in his arms, lost in thought.

He had a dream last night, in which he met a chubby little dumpling. Now, looking at his darling’s exquisite face, it unexpectedly overlapped with the little guy in his memory.

After Nan Qing woke up, he gently pushed Shen Xuanmo and said with a playful complaint, “You look at me like this every day, aren’t you tired of it?”

Every time he woke up and saw Shen Xuanmo’s gaze like this, Nan Qing would blush and his heart would race. He pretended to be a little angry, but couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes.

“You’re not allowed to look, I’ll get angry if you look again!” Nan Qing said with puffed cheeks, and was about to cover his eyes.

Shen Xuanmo hugged him even tighter and whispered in his neck, “How could I get tired of you? I’m just afraid there isn’t enough time.”

“You, you’re pushing your luck…” Nan Qing has now learned many words to describe Shen Xuanmo, his little face is even redder, and his heart is beating even faster.

Shen Xuanmo’s breath gently brushed against his skin, making him feel a burst of numbness.

“Let go, I want to get up!” Nan Qing felt that he couldn’t stay with him any longer, otherwise his heart would always be racing and disobedient.

Shen Xuanmo hugged Nan Qing tightly in his arms and chuckled softly, “I don’t care, I’m going to spend a lifetime looking at you enough.”

Nan Qing’s face was even redder, he struggled in his arms a few times, muttering, “You only know how to say sweet words.”

Nan Qing tilted his head and asked curiously, “Why are you so clingy?” Shen Xuanmo fondly nodded his head, “I’m not clingy, I’m just clingy to Nan Qing.” Nan Qing felt warm in his heart and took the initiative to kiss Shen Xuanmo’s cheek.

“Alright, I still have to feed Ah Hua.”

Shen Xuanmo was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled dotingly, then the corners of his mouth rose, and he reached out and gently scraped Nan Qing’s nose.

“You hurt me.” Nan Qing frowned slightly, making a look of discomfort.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Shen Xuanmo looked at his big hand in doubt, he thought, he didn’t use much strength.

Shen Xuanmo looked at Nan Qing’s reddened nose, blew it gently, and said tenderly, “Sorry, I’ll be gentler next time.”

“It doesn’t hurt a lot, just a little bit.” Nan Qing said softly, with a hint of playful smugness in his eyes.

“Then I’ll blow it again, and it won’t hurt at all in a while.” Shen Xuanmo knew that Nan Qing was doing it on purpose, but he just liked to indulge him.

Nan Qing enjoyed Shen Xuanmo’s blowing and care, and suddenly remembered something and said, “Ah Hua must be starving.” Shen Xuanmo helplessly let go and let Nan Qing jump out of bed.

“Why does darling care about it? Why not care more about me?” Shen Xuanmo said half-jokingly, trying to hide his little jealousy.

Shen Xuanmo was a little disappointed, could it be that in Nan Qing’s eyes, he was not even as good as a cat?

If he had known, he shouldn’t have left it in the first place. Shen Xuanmo sighed, but his eyes were full of love.

Nan Qing turned his head and saw Shen Xuanmo’s serious expression, and couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Are you jealous of Ah Hua?”

At this time, Ah Hua was looking eagerly at their door. The sun was already shining on its butt, and their two masters were still being lovey-dovey.

“Ah Hua?” Nan Qing came to the hall, and the little tabby cat immediately ran over and rubbed against his leg, acting coquettishly.

“Sorry, Ah Hua…” Nan Qing smiled and picked up Ah Hua, preparing to feed it. Shen Xuanmo followed behind, quietly watching this scene, his eyes full of happiness.

After feeding Ah Hua, Nan Qing took Shen Xuanmo’s hand and said, “It’s almost the New Year, let’s go to Brother’s house to play today!” Shen Xuanmo readily agreed.

The two walked hand in hand, and arrived at Nan Lin’s house in just a few steps.

“Let go.” Nan Qing was a little shy, not wanting Nan Lin and Qiu Ze to see them like this.

“No, I can’t leave darling for a second…” Shen Xuanmo stubbornly tightened his grip on Nan Qing’s hand, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Nan Qing shook his head helplessly, but with a sweet smile on his face: “If you’re like this, Brother and the others will definitely laugh at me.”

“No, darling, rest assured.” Finally, he will die of anger. For no reason at all, they insisted on living next door to them.

“I just want the whole world to know that you are mine.” Shen Xuanmo said indifferently, then gently put down the gifts and rang the door of Nan Lin’s house.

The door opened quickly, and Nan Lin and Qiu Ze stood at the door. Seeing Nan Qing and Shen Xuanmo holding hands, Nan Lin’s face immediately darkened.

Qiu Ze pretended to be surprised and said, “Oh dear, what’s wrong? Why is our Nan Qing darling’s face so red?”

Nan Qing became even more shy and tried to pull out his hand, but Shen Xuanmo held it even more firmly.

Qiu Ze laughed and walked over to pat Shen Xuanmo on the shoulder: “Brother Shen, are you showing off?” As if anyone didn’t have one.

As Qiu Ze spoke, he took Nan Lin’s hand, he leaned tightly against Nan Lin, and secretly said a few words in his ear, causing Nan Lin’s face to turn from black to red, and he smiled awkwardly.

“Come on in, why did you bring so many things? Come in quickly…” Qiu Ze warmly invited everyone into the house.

Nan Qing gently pinched Shen Xuanmo, signaling him not to be too presumptuous in front of them.

Shen Xuanmo smiled knowingly, but still did not let go of Nan Qing’s hand, just no longer held it so tightly, giving Nan Qing some space.

Shen Xuanmo was generous, he looked around the living room and praised, “Brother-in-law’s house is really warm, you really know how to choose a location.”

Nan Lin waved his hand with a fake smile, and said, “Where, where, we’re just the same.” The two were polite on the surface, but secretly they were always inexplicably competing.

“Brother Qiu Ze, is it really okay to leave these two alone?” Nan Qing and Qiu Ze were washing fruit, and he couldn’t help asking.

“Nan Qing, don’t worry, those two are just like that, they always like to argue over some unimportant things.”

Qiu Ze sighed in his heart, he was no longer surprised by this childish behavior between Shen Xuanmo and Nan Lin.

Every time they gathered together, there would always be a few rounds of secret competition, as if it had become a special way of communication between them.

The two brought the fruit platter back to the living room, only to see that Shen Xuanmo and Nan Lin were still talking, but the atmosphere had eased a lot. Their topic had also shifted to the upcoming holiday plans, obviously looking for common ground.

“I prefer to go with Nan Qing alone and have a romantic holiday.” Shen Xuanmo looked at Nan Qing gently, his words revealing his thoughts.

Nan Lin raised his eyebrows and responded unwillingly, “You wish, Nan Qing should stay with me during such an important festival, we’re one big happy family.” You can do whatever you want.

Seeing Nan Qing and Qiu Ze return, Shen Xuanmo immediately stopped talking and said instead, “Actually, I quite agree with the four of us going together, but since brother-in-law doesn’t want to, then forget it.”

“Brother, don’t you want us to go out and play together?” Nan Qing lowered his eyes, a little disappointed.

“Shen Xuanmo! You…” Nan Lin was a little annoyed, feeling a sense of déjà vu, and was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Qiu Ze in time.

Qiu Ze interjected appropriately, trying to mediate: “Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. How about this, we can go out together for the first few days, and then arrange the rest of the time ourselves, how’s that?”

Shen Xuanmo and Nan Lin looked at each other, and finally nodded, agreeing to this compromise.

As night fell, this small gathering ended in warmth and laughter. After saying goodbye to each other, Shen Xuanmo and Nan Qing returned to their home next door hand in hand.

On the way home, Nan Qing hummed a little tune, his mood obviously very good. He looked up at the starry sky and said with emotion, “It’s so good, you’re all by my side.”

Shen Xuanmo nodded without hesitation, as long as he was with Nan Qing, everything would be beautiful.
