At night when Huo Chengyuan closed his eyes to sleep, a boy touched his arm and snuggled into his embrace. He hesitated, considering whether or not to push the boy away, but then heard the steady breathing of the other person and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Huo Chengyuan thought that the matter had passed, but unexpectedly, for three consecutive days, he came home to find the boy dressed in a maid outfit standing at the door, looking at him with a hint of expectation.
“Nian Nian, I’m going on a business trip to the North City tomorrow,” Huo Chengyuan said during dinner.
In fact, the secretary Lin was originally scheduled for this business trip, but the boy had become overly dependent on him in the past few days, and Huo Chengyuan was worried that he was getting too into character. So, he wanted to take this opportunity to separate from the boy for a while.
Jiang Nian paused, “A business trip? How long will you be gone?”
“Probably half a month.”
Jiang Nian looked stunned after hearing this. He lowered his head, and the fuzzy cat ears on his head slipped down, making him look like a melancholy cat whose owner was about to leave him. Pitiful.
“I understand,” he rubbed his eyes quietly, then lifted his head, and with slightly reddened apricot eyes, he said obediently, “Then let me go upstairs and pack your luggage. Do you need to bring anything?”
Huo Chengyuan looked at the boy who clearly had not eaten much of his meal and regretted it. He should have waited for him to finish before bringing it up.
He said, “There’s nothing special to bring. Let’s eat first. I’ll pack later.”
Jiang Nian shook his head, “I’m done eating.”
Thinking about having to separate from his husband for half a month tomorrow, he lost his appetite completely.
“Husband, don’t worry about me,” he smiled at the man, “I ate a lot of snacks this afternoon, so I’m not very hungry now.”
There were a lot of snacks in the living room snack cabinet, and Huo Chengyuan thought the boy had eaten a lot, so he said, “Don’t eat too many snacks before meals. It’s not good for your health.”
He went upstairs to pack a few clothes for the man. When he was packing his close-fitting clothes, he didn’t have any distractions in his mind. He was completely immersed in the sadness and reluctance of having to separate from his husband for half a month.
He didn’t feel like watching TV that night either. He changed back into his comfortable and soft Little Cow pajamas and snuggled up tightly to the man.
“Husband, can you hold me while we sleep?”
When they went to sleep, he snuggled up to the man and looked at him with big, round, pitiful eyes.
Unable to bear seeing the boy on the verge of tears, Huo Chengyuan couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He hugged the boy’s shoulders and patted him gently.
His husband finally agreed to hold him, and Jiang Nian’s mouth curled into a small smile. He happily nuzzled his head against the man’s neck.
Huo Chengyuan allowed the boy to act coquettishly as he held him, comforting him while carefully maintaining the distance between them.
At ten o’clock the next morning, at Nan City University.
“Nie Nie, over here!” Huo Nianning waved to his friend as he walked into the classroom.
Jiang Nian walked over with his schoolbag, feeling listless, and sat down.
Huo Nianning noticed that he seemed down and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with my dad?”
Jiang Nian shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian glared at him fiercely.
“No!”
“You scared me. You had a widow’s expression just now. I thought you and my dad had a falling out,” sighed Huo Nianning in relief, then asked, “So what’s going on between you and my dad?”
Jiang Nian took out his textbook and then leaned on the table, sadly saying, “He’s on a business trip.”
Huo Nianning: “…”
That’s it?? Jiang Xiaonian, you’re too clingy!
“It’s okay, it’s just a business trip. He’ll be back in a few days. My dad used to travel a lot too, and I’m used to it,” he comforted his friend.
Jiang Nian pursed his lips. It had only been two hours since he parted with his husband, and he was already thinking of him. What was he going to do for the rest of the month?
Jiang Nian didn’t want to go home if his husband was away on a business trip. After the day’s classes ended, he followed Huo Nianning back to the dormitory where he hadn’t stayed for a week.
The bed had not been slept in for a week and was covered in dust. He climbed onto it and changed the sheets and duvet cover before lying down and staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Huo Nianning patted his bed and said, “Nian Nian, come play a game with me.”
Jiang Nian instantly refused, “No.” His mood was not good, and he was worried. What if his husband returned and found that he had not taken good care of himself? He might run out of his allowance next month.
【Only devoted to one person】: Dad, Nian Nian misses you. Remember to video chat with him when you have time, to comfort him.
Huò Niànníng took out his phone and sent a message to his dad.
He was really a responsible little matchmaker.
Huò Chéngyuǎn, who was on a business trip in the northern city, received a message from his son, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He thought his son would settle down after being with Nian Nian, but it seemed his son’s feelings for Nian Nian were not that strong.
Huò Chéngyuǎn looked at the album of the boy taking selfies with his phone and felt some guilt and self-blame.
He didn’t teach his son well, letting him suffer so much. When he recovered his memory and knew the truth, he didn’t know how sad he would be.
He should talk to his son.
Huò Chéngyuǎn thought to himself.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Jiang Nian lay in bed, his eyes swollen like a sad frog.
He sent several WeChat messages to his husband today, but his husband only replied to the first one and then went silent.
He held his phone tightly and couldn’t help but speculate if he was too clingy and made his husband feel annoyed.
As he was lost in thought, his husband’s video call came in.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly sat up and answered the call. He missed his husband all day, and finally he appeared in front of her.
Jiang Nian had a smile on his face and softly called out “husband.”
Holding the pillow brought from home, even in his dreams, his lips were still smiling.
Jiang Nian thought that half a month would be very difficult to endure, but she attended classes during the day, drew drafts during her free time, and had a video call with her husband for more than ten minutes before going to bed.
Time passed quickly.
Huo Chengyuan’s plane arrived at three o’clock in the afternoon. Jiang Nian had been excited since morning, and even the finance and economics course that he usually disliked, he listened to with relish and even made a lot of notes.
Huo Nianning was busy chatting with a new girl during the lesson, and wanted to borrow his notes to take a look during break time, but the other person cherished them too much and refused to let him see.
Huo Nianning secretly looked at them later, and there were no notes at all, only Q-version drawings of him and his father hugging and kissing, and a few erotic puzzles that caused him to blush.
