The Little Crying Bag and his Mr. GrumpyCh6 - Extra 2: The promise of growing old together

6. Class reunion

“Tang Miao, high school reunion next Friday. Are you going or not? Bring your family to attend.” FCrb3M

“Qu Yao? Good morning! Bring along family? Bring my family to attend the class reunion…”

“Qi Ming… You’re going crazy again…” A simple matter became convoluted.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Qu Yao… I’ll attend. Send me the location and time. Happy Honeymoon!”

Qu Yao snorted as she stared at her phone. You are on your honeymoon, not me. HtCkdx

But, had she just interrupted something good?

Did she just forget to mention that the reunion was convened by Xu Jiaqi?

But Boss Tang shouldn’t be that stingy, should he?

… …

“Don’t you like it when I go crazy?” Qi Ming nibbled on his nape.

“Like… I like it…”

“Will you continue talking to other people?” The sun in Italy was too warm, and so were the men and women conceived there.

“I…I interact normally…” bdHg8B

“Not allowed.”

“Okay… Okay…” Tang Miao “reluctantly” agreed, “Qi…Ming…deeper…ah…I like…

“What do you like?”

Tang Miao’s eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was soaked in moisture, “…I like you.” ncHlf4

Tang Miao really came to the reunion with his family, confidently fastening his fingers with Qi Ming’s. It was not that the others weren’t curious, considering what Tang Miao and Qi Ming had in those years, but they were also aware of Tang Miao’s power in recent years. They never imagined him to come out of the closet so publicly.

Some people were quite stimulated by his unconcerned attitude.

Xu Jiaqi cleared her throat, inquiring, “Won’t you introduce us?” d5HzXu

Tang Miao was perplexed. “Introduce what?”

“Your partner.” Tang Miao, Xu Jiaqi felt, was still playing dumb after all these years. He had Qi Ming’s support back then, but she wouldn’t let him wiggle out of the embarrassing situation in public this time.

Xu Jiaqi’s nails clenched her fiancé’s palm.

Tang Miao blinked, wanting to laugh, “I say Qi Ming, have you changed so much?” OdASvu

Qi Ming?!

The room erupted in an uproar in an instant. The campus was abuzz concerning the Qi family back then. Although many of them were unaware of the details, they still knew that Qi Ming went abroad without finishing high school, and no one knew where he had gone.

Xu Jiaqi’s fingers loosened, suddenly understanding something.

Qi Ming helplessly took off his sunglasses and nodded to everyone. YRpjbf

In fact, apart from Qu Yao, he was not that familiar with the crowd. It was understandable that they did not recognize him. Qi Ming was tall and strong, and his skin was tanned. The key point was that few people dared to take a good look at Qi Ming back then.

That year’s class monitor proposed playing a game, and the atmosphere quickly grew lively.

Tang Miao and Qi Ming were both unfamiliar with them. While chatting, the others were only interested in talking to Qi Ming. Some time later, the others had decided to start playing Truth or Dare.

Tang Miao and Qi Ming, who were deprived of the right to vote: “…” Dauvg8

“Tang Miao.”

“I choose truth.” The point was that he really had no interest in big adventures.

“Who did you…like in high school? And when?”

These were clearly two questions, but Tang Miao responded generously: “I almost realized it sometime around my first or second year of high school, but I had liked him for quite some time before I realized it. As for who, you all know him. Qi Ming.” sCDGuB

Qu Yao thought for a moment and inquired, “I want to know what the other party does that has you at your wits’ end.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Cry.” Qi Ming lips curled.

“Tang Miao, what about you?” 3MOiDV

Tang Miao grinned: “I like it when he’s fierce to me.”

Everyone: “…”

They came to flaunt their cars, houses, wealth, jobs, children and spouses. Why did they forcibly eat a bellyful of dog food?!

… … r9meLi

“Qi Ming,” Xu Jiaqi chased after him as he left. “I want to ask you a question.”

Qi Ming cocked his sharp brow, “Speak.”

“…You clearly said you hate others crying the most.”

“MiaoMiao is not ‘others.'” Qi Ming did not consider this question a question at all. QPbJ6o

“I’m not ‘others.'” Tang Miao, who had just washed his hands, spoke in unison with Qi Ming.

As for Xu Jiaqi who was crying out of anger, it had nothing to do with them.

Qi Ming always said that everyone should be accountable for their own lives and that you shouldn’t tie your life to the lives of others.

But Tang ShuiShui was not ‘others.’ MiaoMiao, his little crying bag, had always been an inseparable part of his life. [T/N: sweetness overload] 4u 1st

8. Curse

Qi Ming had a spider web-like scar on his ribs.

Even when Tang Miao cried and caused a ruckus, Qi Ming refused to say how and when it happened. He just downplayed it as an accident.

Until Tang Miao blocked a brother from Qi Hui Tang. Dr3U9o

“Master Tang.” In fact, the brothers wanted to address him as Young Madam, but they were scared of Qi Ming’s fists.

“Brother Xiao Hui, you’re someone who has watched me grow up, right?”

Chen Hui swiftly waved his hand, “Master Tang, please don’t hesitate to say anything.”

“I just to chat about the past.” Tang Miao blinked innocently. Mqhm49

Chen Hui was silent. Young Madam looked very unhappy. So, what should he do?!

“By the way, is that web-like injury on Qi Ming’s ribs all right?”

“It’s all right. At the time, the doctor said that he was lucky. It got stuck between two ribs.”

Tang Miao clenched his fists. It had been a life-threatening wound?! Qi Ming, that jerk! cK6aOd

“So serious, but Qi Ming bragged to me that he woke up instantly after the surgery.” Tang Miao tried to make his voice sound light.

Chen Hui scratched the back of his head, “Hehe, the young master didn’t brag. At the time, the doctor said it was impossible, but he awoke frantically. He even sneaked into the computer room in the ward without alerting the doctor.” Chen Hui was still overjoyed when he recalled it.

“What was he so frantic about?” Tang Miao squinted, thinking that a certain someone needed to be taught a lesson. A gunshot wound! Surgery! Did he think it was a cold?! He almost died, and was still thinking about using a computer?!

“Wasn’t it because he wanted to write Master Tang an email? As long as it’s Master Tang business, the young master is very attentive.” Despite the fact that he knew Tang Miao was also madly in love with his young master, he had to sell. Chen Hui believed he was fantastic today. FBqptn

Email…

During those years, the only email Qi Ming sent him was on his birthday each year.

The only time he was late was during his fourth year at university. He’d received the email at the last minute, and it contained the line “MiaoMiao, I miss you” right at the bottom.

“Was it three years ago?” o1a9SP

Chen Hui suddenly reacted. If he remembered correctly, the young master appeared to have asked them to keep their mouths shut about this matter.

Chen Hui: “…” Was it too late to fix it?!!

“Brother Xiao Hui, do you recall how many videotapes you gave me when I was young?”

Chen Hui: “…” He, he, he, he had no idea the young master was so protective of Tang Miao at the time. They were not allowed to smoke, swear, fight, kill, talk dirty, or watch porn. aWpQBi

“Brother Xiao Hui, was it June? If yes, simply nod your head.”

Chen Hui, who had been badly threatened, nodded stiffly.

“Thank you, Brother Xiao Hui. I’ll look for you to play next time.”

Chen Hui: “…” KdVk67

… …

“Qi Ming.” Tang Miao was napping in his arms.

“Huh?”

“I saved every email you sent me, as well as my high school phone.” 6l0GrZ

“Come on, just tell me what you want,” Qi Ming said with a smile.

He and Tang Miao never mentioned the past. They’d chosen not to bring up the events and longing of the previous few years. Tang Miao must have brought it up for a reason.

Tang Miao’s mouth was quivering as he said, “I remember one year I waited for your email all day and night.” If you count the day before, he hadn’t slept for two days and one night.

Qi Ming instantly recognized the year and solemnly kissed Tang Miao’s mouth, which was clearly about to cry: “Don’t cry! I’m sorry, MiaoMiao, for being late.” Jscl2U

In fact, eight years had really changed a lot of things, just like Qi Ming, for example, who was no longer willing to use his fist against Tang Miao. It was all fun to quarrel fiercely, but privately, he was willing to say gentle words. Just like how Tang Miao showed a different side in front of others. It was only when facing Qi Ming that he behaved like a child that wouldn’t grow up.

“It’s not your fault. I forgive you. Now, give me a hug.” Tang Miao slung his arm around Qi Ming’s waist. A thin quilt lay between them, and his fingers rubbed the spider web-like scar.

Qi Ming thought Tang Miao was asleep, but his chest felt cool, and when he tried moving Tang Miao, he did not move an inch.

“MiaoMiao, what’s the matter? Feeling wronged? Give ge a kiss?” KUMW F

“I…I drank too much water.”

Qi Ming was furious at him for lying so blatantly and yelled, “Tang! Shui! Shui!”

Qi Ming discovered that Tang Miao’s tears had drenched the quilt. He coaxed, “MiaoMiao, tell me. Why are you crying like this? I swear I’ll never be late again. Little ancestor, look up and let me look at you.”

“You’re not allowed to be late,” Tang Miao mumbled. “Don’t be late.” s3TbpO

Tang Miao’s Lacrimal glands burst again. “Was it painful at the time?”

Qi Ming suddenly understood: Tang Miao knew.

“Very painful.” Qi Ming threw the damp quilt away. “If you give ge a kiss, it won’t hurt.”

“Qi Ming, Qi Ming, Qi Ming…” Tang Miao wanted to get angry and ask him why he didn’t take good care of himself, but, in the end, he couldn’t say anything. He only knew to call out his name. vMAUS2

Qi Ming continued the topic. “In fact, I must thank you. MiaoMiao is my little lucky star. At the time, the assassin was aiming for my head. For some reason, the red rope you gave me snapped at that time. The bullet sped by as I squatted down to pick it up. I dodged several bullets aimed at my head, but his final gunshot became lodged in my ribs.”

Tang Miao bit his lower lip, realizing he had almost lost Qi Ming.

“If I hadn’t been thinking about writing you an email when I was sent to the hospital, I might not have woken up so quickly. Someone claimed to be a nurse and sneaked into my ward after I completed sending you the email.”

“So, I am doing well now all thanks to Tang ShuiShui’s blessing.” Snltg

“What about…that person?” Tang Miao became cold all of a sudden. His entire body appeared to have been dumped into an ice cave which caused his teeth to clatter. What if…what if…

“Dead.” Qi Ming spoke lightly.

He carried Tang Miao to the bathroom. Tang ShuiShui’s tears had left him so wet that if he went to bed like this, he would catch a cold.

Tang Miao finally calmed down in the bathtub and clutched Qi Ming’s neck, “Qi Ming…fortunately you are fine…” P2qnbC

Yes, Qi Ming was fortunate to be alive. Tang ShuiShui was such a little crying bag and loved him so much, he would sob himself to death if something happened to him.

So he had altered his mind and added another line to the email: “MiaoMiao, I miss you very much.”

Tang Miao was uninterested in learning why Qi Ming was shot or how that assassin died. All he needed to know was that his Qi Ming was fine.

“Stop rubbing.” QRCSy6

“Let’s do it.” Tang Miao stretched his finger and loosened himself with the help of the bathtub’s water.

“I’ll do it. Don’t hurt yourself by being clumsy.”

“I’m not stupid.”

“Aren’t you? Isn’t it foolish to use water for lubrication? I often wonder how you earned the first place.” DjgsZ1

“I brought along your IQ to the exam.” Tang Miao was very proud of himself.

Qi Ming: “…” Which one should he choose: beat him or kiss him? Waiting online, very urgent.

… …

“How…how can you still cum?” o570rH

“Thanks to those tonic soups you stewed.” Qi Ming thrust hard, making Tang Miao cry directly.

Compared with those of yearning and feeling sad, he preferred Tang ShuiShui to cry for such occasions.

“That was to help you heal from your gunshot wound.” Tang Miao whispered, “My mother and aunt gave me the prescription.”

“What did you say to them?” KdlSv9

“I said you hurt your waist.”

Qi Ming: “…”

“Ah…Qi Ming, take it easy, um…ah…umh…lighter…lighter…”

“Study committee member, let’s review the difference between waist and ribs.” SHUrft

Tang Miao felt very wronged. How could he have known that mothers would pit their sons in such a way…

… …

“MiaoMiao?” Qi Ming caressed Tang Miao’s dry and soft cheeks.

“…Huh?” tY2zx3

“Let’s go to the Taoist temple where you prayed for me to be the top scorer.”

“That was not for being the topper.”

“Huh?”

“It was a curse,” Tang Miao said quietly. fAaLl

Qi Ming pinched his meaty buttocks, “Will you or won’t you tell me? It’s another round if you don’t say it.”

“It was a curse that your hair will slowly turn white…” Tang Miao’s smile turned his eyes into crescents, “with me.”

9. Only wish

Tang Miao later brought Qi Ming to the Yuelao Temple, where he sincerely paid his respects. When he ran into the little Daoist priest again, he requested two red ropes once more. They removed the faded ones in front of him and replaced them with new ones. Pt1jfM

Despite his aversion for such girly things, Qi Ming assisted Tang Miao in tying the new red ropes.

In this life, my only wish is to be with this man for the rest of my life and to grow old with him.
