Reverse Approach

Under Zhao Qin’s persuasion, Liao Nanqing entrusted the evil that Zhang Yuangang had done to himself to the lawyer Zhao Qin had found.

 

Soon after, Zhang Yuangang was sent to prison for four years.

 

Li Qin divorced him successfully with the help of Zhao Qin. She took Xiao Ze back to her mother’s house and lived with her elderly mother, so she was not homeless either.

 

These news were like distant letters, slowly passed into the ears of Liao Nanqing one by one. He did not express any opinion, but only entrusted all his current savings to Zhao Qin to bring to Li Qin. Not for anything in return, but for his poor brother Xiao Ze.

 

Liao Nanqing was not a saint; he could no longer face Li Qin who had hurt himself countless times, but for Xiao Ze, his help should be only this time.

 

Their fathers were both imprisoned, but their lives should be different.

 

Liao Nanqing thought, he would never meet with them again, ba.

 

With the help of Dr. Wang, Liao Nanqing’s life gradually got on the right track. In order to recover his mentality, he took a leave of absence this semester. At the same time, Su Beimo also resigned.

 

Liao Nanqing initially disapproved of Su Beimo’s resignation. He always felt that Su Beimo was giving up this good job for himself. He felt sorry for Su Beimo and even started to drill into the dead end again.

 

Fortunately, Su Beimo’s mouth was able to talk, and said that he was determined to travel around with Liao Nanqing. In the year they were together, Su Beimo’s salary, aside from the rent and daily expenses, was saved a lot. It was no problem for the two to go around the country.

 

When Zhao Qin found out about it, she tried to offer them some financial help, but Su Beimo decisively refused.

 

Just as he decided, his own way, always relied on their own walk.

 

They went to many places, including the seaside that Liao Nanqing liked, and the ancient towns and vast grasslands that Liao Nanqing had never been to. They walked barefoot on the beach where the tide was fading, lay on the vast grass looking at the starry sky holding hands, and also stood together on the green stone pavement for a photo.

 

In the eyes of passersby, they were a happy little couple who didn’t care about the eyes of others. One was tall and sunny, one was quiet and introverted, each was different but unusually well-matched.

 

And their journey started from spring blossoms to summer cicadas chirping.

 

 

 

The reason for returning to City B was that Liao Nanqing was about to start school. He was about to enter school as a freshman again, and like last summer, a new life began. The sunny day was always reborn in the middle of summer.

 

The days began to pass slowly, and the vines in summer were green. Sometimes when passing by those old neighborhoods, you could see them climbing up to the windows, standing tall and not afraid of the scorching sun, even if they were wilted that day, they were alive again early the next morning.

 

Liao Nanqing raised a green radish on the windowsill, hoping that the days would be more vibrant.

 

Of course, Liao Nanqing tanned a lot, looked healthier, and was no longer so thin as a bone.

 

During the six months, the nightmares faded from his life, the dream scenes gradually changed, and sometimes the night was without a dream.

 

But even if he had a dream, as soon as he opened his eyes, Su Beimo was beside him, at the closest distance. He raised his hand to wipe away the fine sweat on his forehead, and with a slight movement of his arm, he could be next to Su Beimo’s shoulder. With this one movement, Su Beimo woke up out of habit and kissed him lovingly on the top of his hair, where there was a swirl that brought everything back to the beginning.

 

He said, “Awake?”

 

Liao Nanqing nodded and hid in his arms.

 

Su Beimo smiled and said, “What’s wrong?”

 

The person in his arms muffled, “I keep waking you up to sleep.”

 

“It’s okay, you’ve worked hard.” Su Beimo didn’t care at all, instead he asked him, “School is about to start, don’t you want to go for milk tea with Ge Yun? She’s your senior sister1xue jie now, she has to take care of you more.”

 

“She’s so foolish. Yesterday, she even called me, saying that in the future, when I see her, I have to call her senior”

 

“She also sent me a message, haha.”

 

Ge Yun, this person, was really quite awkward. But Su Beimo was grateful to her because during this time, she cared a lot about Liao Nanqing. Together with Xu Yanyan, they were Liao Nanqing’s best friends. Su Beimo was thankful countless times for his nosiness back then, helping Liao Nanqing transfer to another school, which made him meet such two good friends.

 

“Su Beimo.”

 

“En?”

 

“Let’s go back and see grandma when we have time.”

 

“Okay, grandma even called me the other day and said we are two little heartless ones.” Su Beimo rubbed Liao Nanqing’s cheek, “Hey, finally growing some meat. This way grandma won’t always complain about me not taking care of you.”

 

“No, you’re taking good care of me.”

 

Thinking about it, Su Beimo frowned, “Don’t you think you’re grandma’s real grandson?”

 

Liao Nanqing was amused as Su Beimo hugged him and tickled him, finally turning sideways and using his hand as a pillow to look at him. The bedside lamp was faintly lit, and Su Beimo’s eyes were full of love. Liao Nanqing also looked at him, always with a light smile at the corner of his mouth.

 

The night was so quiet that even the breathing seemed endlessly gentle.

 

Liao Nanqing reached out and touched Su Beimo’s lips, and Su Beimo asked him, “Can I kiss?”

 

“Can.”

 

Su Beimo gave him a kiss and the tip of his nose touched the tip of his nose, it was warm.

 

Liao Nanqing’s face softened and suddenly said, “Su Beimo, let’s see Uncle Su too.” When he said this, he did not tremble, did not resist. It was like a scene of harmony in the spring breeze, but it silenced Su Beimo.

 

The sideburns of hair around Liao Nanqing’s ear were lifted by Su Beimo’s fingertips, and Liao Nanqing held his hand.

 

Su Beimo wasn’t stupid, “Did my mom say something to you?”

 

“Auntie said a lot, and I’ve thought about it.” Liao Nanqing said, “He is your father.”

 

Su Beimo shook his head, “He made a big mistake, you don’t need to forgive him for my sake, or protect him for my sake. Nanqing, you are always kind and will suffer.”

 

Su Jing’s approach was always a thorn in Su Beimo’s heart, and it was bloody to pull out. He did not even dare to imagine what would have happened to Liao Nanqing if he had not been there at that time.

 

“I am not kind, nor am I forcing myself to forgive him and protect him.” Liao Nanqing’s thinking was clear, he kissed Su Beimo’s finger, extremely clingy, “but from now on, whether he accepts me or not. I’ll never return his son back to him.”

 

He was even a bit domineering: “Su Beimo, you are mine.”

 

He also said: “I used to feel very guilty, thinking that I was the one who broke the peace of the Su family and betrayed the care of Uncle Su. But what he did, although it gave me a painful experience, it actually gave me a path to walk magnanimously. In my heart, he is even with me.”

 

Su Beimo did not reply, the back of his fingers pressed against Liao Nanqing’s warm lips, soft and supple.

 

“From now on, Uncle Su and I are on a balanced line. You are that center point, and you are moving closer to me, leaning towards my side, right?”

 

The things that happened during this time, as well as Su Beimo’s care, Zhao Qin’s support, Grandma Su and Su Ya’s concern, all of this made Liao Nanqing understand that he was not alone long ago.

 

He must be brave and face the realities that he once longed to escape. The road was walked together, and it was because of walking together that they had this road.

 

“Right.” Su Beimo answered without much emotion, even lamenting, “Nanqing, you seem to have changed a bit.”

 

“People do grow up.” Liao Nanqing smiled, “You are the one who grows with me.”

 

Having seen the darkness of the night, you would know that dawn was not easy

 

Su Beimo hugged him tightly, and there was no moment of regret. Not today, and not in the future.

 

He loved him.

 

“I want to drink a strawberry milkshake, you buy it for me tomorrow, okay?” The person in his arms was getting on board with pampering.

 

“Then you have to give me an IOU.”

 

Liao Nanqing muttered, “Stingy.”

 

Su Beimo asked, “How am I being stingy? A strawberry milkshake and a change of bed sheets, that’s fair enough.”

 

Liao Nanqing gave him a small bite and Su Beimo sighed, “Now you’ve become a little wildcat.”

 

“Then you…” Liao Nanqing blinked, “Do you like me?”

 

After another bite, Su Beimo felt itchy in his heart. He really felt that his boyfriend was so cute, he really liked him.

 

Therefore, he said: “Like, but I can’t always say enough about it. In the future, I want to say, I love you. ”

 

Thank you for loving me too.

 

 

With the new semester, Liao Nanqing was ready to go.

 

Su Beimo had a new job, and given his previous resume, his new job didn’t pay badly. When he very occasionally contacted his former colleague Xu Yuanming, he learned that Xu Yuanming had finally managed to catch up with Qiu Lu, and the two were expecting a child and were now frantically preparing for their wedding. Xu Yuanming did not invite Su Beimo, he knew that even if he did, Su Beimo might not have time to come.

 

He was busy with his new company promotion and salary increase, the work was much more vigorous than before.

 

After all, the main thing was to buy a house.

 

The down payment amount was not small, and the loan had to be repaid later. Zhao Qin sent the money for the down payment, saying that half of it was quietly paid to her by Su Jing. In fact, these times, Su Jing had been asking Su Ya about their situation. He was a fool; except for silently making money, he really did not know what he should do.

 

Su Beimo did not accept the money: “Mom, I intend to write the names of me and Nanqing.”

 

“I know, it’s okay, you can write whoever you want. It’s just a thought from mom and dad.” She emphasized the words ‘mom and dad’ and eased her tone, “Your dad, he knows it too, he has no problem with it.”

 

Su Beimo still refused, “We want to rely on ourselves.”

 

Zhao Qin didn’t understand this silly son’s thinking: “Isn’t it good for us to help you save some travel?”

 

Su Beimo hooked the corner of his mouth, “Mom, Nanqing and I have agreed.”

 

“En?”

 

Su Beimo smiled a particularly sunny smile, “We both plan to grow up together.”

 

Therefore, on the day when Liao Nanqing graduated from university, Su Beimo chose commercial housing that was not cheap in the city center City B, and he decisively paid the first payment. Both Liao Nanqing’s and Su Beimo’s name was written on the deed; this thing was much more useful than a marriage certificate. After the mortgage, the two of them worked together.

 

The windowsill of the new house was filled with fresh greenery, the house was neat and tidy, and everything was for two people.

 

In the closet, there were several dark suits hanging.

 

Su Beimo reached out and took one set, hung it back, took another set inside his head for a while, and still hung it back.

 

Liao Nanqing followed behind him and asked nervously, “Is it that I don’t look good in any of them?”

 

“No, it’s because you look too good in all of them, it’s hard for me to choose.”

 

Liao Nanqing was helpless and casually picked a set to change into, “I have to hurry up and go out, today’s interview is very important.”

 

“I’ll see you off.”

 

“En!”

 

Su Beimo took out the keys to his electric scooter. All the money went to the down payment and renovation, so he had to wait to buy a car.

 

“No, no one is allowed to carry people on the back of the electric scooter.” Liao Nanqing looked at the time and hurriedly said, “I’ll go by myself! I’ll take the subway!”

 

Su Beimo escorted him to the door. After thinking about it, he was still worried. He grabbed a coat and like an old father, he said: “Then I’ll go with you. We’ll eat outside after you finish.”

 

As he said, he rubbed Liao Nanqing’s head. This action hadn’t changed for so many years.

 

The sunshine outside was particularly good, Liao Nanqing’s omelette this morning was actually a double-yolked egg.2To have good luck coming. Cracking open a double yolk is believed to be 1 in 1,000 chance (unless you buy double yolk egg specially so that’s 100% chance lol) He straightened his tie and casted a smile towards Su Beimo.

 

“Nanqing, do you have confidence?”

 

“Have!”

 

The sunrise was full of vitality, just like what he expected from Liao Nanqing years ago.

 

And Liao Nanqing’s voice still retained the hope and happiness of his youth; it was the colorful wings of a butterfly, and once again fluttered towards Su Beimo

 

Wow——

 

Wow——

 

Time became a line, Su Beimo really accompanied Liao Nanqing all the way from obscurity to brightness, facing the wind and the sun.

 

 

T/N: That’s the end of it but there are two more extra chapters.
