Chapter 103: Extraordinary Five (end of full text)

The Five Little Princes
A week before the wedding, Zhuang Yan followed Xie Ning to the Xie family compound for dinner.
This time it was a family dinner. There were no outsiders. The presence of Zhuang Yan showed that Father Xie had recognized his identity as his family.
The two arrived at the compound in the afternoon. Father Xie was lying on a lounger outside to enjoy the sun. His eyes lit up when he saw them.
"I came so early." Father Xie squinted, "I haven't cooked yet."
Xie Ning walked to Father Xie, squatted down, and said, "There is nothing to do today. Come here early and accompany Grandpa."
Father Xie took his hand and patted it, then turned his head to look at Zhuang Yan next to him, and smiled: "You still have filial piety, unlike your cousin, you can't see him until you eat."
Xie Ning smiled: "Is he busy at work, I will be free."
Uncle Zhong came over with a blanket and saw Xie Ning with a smile on his face: "Little Master is here."
"Uncle Zhong." Xie Ning greeted him.
Uncle Zhong put the blanket on Mr. Xie, turned his head and said to Xie Ning: "Today, Mr. Zhong specially asked the kitchen to prepare the sweet and sour fish that the young master loved."
Xie Ning tilted his head: "Then I'm good fortune."
The two talked with Old Man Xie for a while, and then went to the yard to stroll around holding hands.
When he walked to the corner where no one was paying attention, Zhuang Yan hugged Xie Ning from behind, leaned to his ear, and whispered, "Little Master?"
Xie Ning's face blushed: "Yes...Uncle Zhong has always been used to calling me like this."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, folded a rose from the flower bush next to it, handed it to Xie Ning, and looked at him up and down: "It's not like a young master."
Xie Ning: "..."
"Like a little prince." Zhuang Yan curled his lips, bent down gracefully, bowed to him, then took his hand and asked, "May I invite you to dinner, my prince?"
Xie Ning was amused by his dramatic behavior, and said with red ears, "My pleasure."
As the sky slowly darkened, others arrived one after another.
The eldest mother Su Jinyan is talkative. As soon as she went to the dinner table, she chatted about the latest interesting facts. She was also very enthusiastic about Zhuang Yan: "I heard that your wedding with Xie Ning will be next week?"
Zhuang Yan nodded: "Yes, I just brought the invitation letter to you today."
"Have the hotel been booked? Would you like us to help? It's the wedding season recently, and higher-end hotels are not easy to book." Su Jinyan asked again.
"It has been set, it is under the property of our dealer, so it is specially reserved." Zhuang Yan broke the name of the hotel, which is also one of the best hotels in the business district.
"That's good." Su Jinyan laughed dryly, "We will definitely make time for that day."
Xia Wan's complexion was not very good, so he put down his chopsticks after taking two bites: "I'm full."
Xie Jing explained to the side: "She has been feeling a little sick recently and has eaten less."
Su Jinyan glanced at her twice, smiling again on her face, turned her head and said to Xie Ning, "Ningning."
Xie Ning: "Huh?"
Su Jinyan asked, "Do you have any plans after you get married."
Xie Ning was a little confused: "What plan?"
Su Jinyan said: "Do you want a child or something?"
Xie Ning: "...I and Zhuang Yan are both men."
Su Jinyan smiled: "What's the matter? Now that the technology is so advanced, it is not possible to go abroad to do personal test tubes."
Xie Ning shook his head: "I never thought about it."
Zhuang Yan said next to him: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. If Xie Ning likes children, we can go to the orphanage to adopt one."
Su Jinyan sighed: "After all, the adopted ones are not related by blood, and they are not close."
"How could it be?" Zhuang Yan said, "Born and nurturing grace are all kindness. If you raise it with your heart, how can you not kiss."
Su Jinyan looked at him with a non-smiling expression, curled her lips, and stopped talking.
Father Xie, who has not said a word, suddenly spoke, but said to Xie An: "An An, look at Ning Ning a few years younger than you, and will get married. When will you bring a girlfriend back."
Xie An, who was immersed in dinner, was caught off guard and said quickly, "I'm not in a hurry."
Su Jinyan also followed: "I'm so grown-up, so I'm not in a hurry... You are not in a hurry to get married, I am in a hurry to hug my grandson.
Xie An: "...Then I will also learn from my cousins ​​and go to the orphanage to adopt a grandson for you?"
Su Jinyan choked and couldn't help but glared at him.
After the meal, Father Xie was a little tired, Xie Ning and Uncle Zhong helped him back to the bedroom.
Zhuang Yan also wanted to follow, but Xie Jing stopped shouting, saying that there was something to discuss with him.
After the marriage with Xie Ning was settled, Ms. Qiao had always been in contact with Xie Ning's parents, and Zhuang Yan and Xie Jinglian had few opportunities to meet.
His senses of Xie Jing and Xia Wan are not good, but he just considers that they are Xie Ning's parents after all, keeping the surface polite.
After being silent for a while, Xie Jing asked, "Wedding... are you almost ready?"
"It's all ready," Zhuang Yan said.
Xie Jing then asked Zhuang Yan some questions about the wedding. Zhuang Yan answered them one by one, and finally said: "Don't worry, my mother started preparing for this wedding six months in advance."
Hearing this, Xie Jing was quiet for a few seconds.
Zhuang Yan didn't urge him, he didn't think Xie Jing called him over just to ask about this.
He seemed to have something to say, and he was wondering whether he should say it, his brows frowned.
After a long silence, Xie Jing spoke again, saying, "Actually...I am not very opposed to you and Ningning."
Zhuang Yan smiled.
Xie Jing added: "But Xia Wan...she is more stubborn."
Zhuang Yan said: "For me and Xie Ning, that's not important anymore."
Xie Jing looked at Zhuang Yan, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Xie Jing looked away.
He said, "That's Xia Wan's heart disease."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
Xie Jing wanted to talk to him about Xia Wan's difficulties?
Xie Jing found a place to sit down, and then greeted Zhuang Yan to sit down too, very interested in having a long conversation.
Zhuang Yan's eyes flickered and sat opposite him.
"Do you know that Ningning has an uncle." Xie Jing asked.
Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment, and said, "I heard him mention it once that his uncle has passed away."
"Yes, passed away." Xie Jing repeated.
"At that time Xie Ning was just born, some of which he didn't know." He said, "His uncle's name is Xia Lian. Like him, he is also a homosexual."
Zhuang Yan looked at Xie Jing, but did not speak.
He seemed to be able to guess what Xie Jing was going to say to him.
The experience of Xie Ning's uncle must not be too pleasant, which made Xia Wan unable to let go of Xie Ning's sexuality.
"At that time, same-sex marriage was not legal. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were both professors. When Xia Lian first came out to them, they were surprised and somewhat unacceptable. Their Xia family probably inherited a kind of stubbornness. Xia Wan is , Xie Ning is, so is Xia Lian. He insisted on staying with the same person. When his parents disagree, he moved out and lived with his lover."
Zhuang Yan asked coldly, "What about then?"
"Every parent loves their children, and their original intention is to hope that their children will be happy." Xie Jing said, "In the end they compromised under Xia Lian's stubbornness and accepted the fact that he was with his lover. The relationship between Xia Lian and his parents also eased again. Doesn't it sound beautiful?"
Zhuang Yan didn't answer, but just asked, "What happened then?"
Xie Jing said, "Xia Lian is dead."
Zhuang Yan: "How did you die?"
Xie Jing: "Suicide."
Zhuang Yan asked: "There is a problem with his relationship with his lover?"
Xie Jing shook his head and nodded again: "Xia Lian is a serious person, but his lover is not. At that time we were all deceived by him, thinking that he really wanted to live with Xia Lian for a lifetime."
"He cheated?"
"More than that." Xie Jing said, "When I was with Xia Lian, he often went out to make appointments and mess around, and his private life was very chaotic."
"After learning the truth, Xia Lian was a bit unacceptable for a while. During that time, his mood had been very low. Xia Wan often went to talk with him, so that his mood slowly stabilized. Originally, we all thought that this happened. But the good times did not last long. During a physical examination, Xia Lian found that he was...infected with AIDS, which became the last straw that crushed him."
Zhuang Yan was taken aback, then slowly frowned.
Xie Jing glanced at him, and then said: "After Xia Lian committed suicide, his parents could not bear the pain of losing their children, and their emotions were up and down. The old man had a heart attack and died soon afterwards."
Zhuang Yan asked: "You call me over, do you want to tell me about it?"
Xie Jing nodded.
Zhuang Yan stood up: "I see."
Xie Jing shouted to him: "Xia Wan...She has been unable to let go of this incident, and she is also worried that Xie Ning will repeat the journey his uncle has taken. She always feels that if her parents could be a little stubborn back then, they would leave Xia early. For Lian and that person, the following tragedy will not happen."
Zhuang Yan asked: "So you hope, can I understand Xia Wan?"
"Ok."
Zhuang Yan looked at Xie Jing quietly for a few seconds, then curled up his lips and smiled: "Sorry, I can't do it."
Xie Jing was taken aback.
As he pushed the door and walked out, Zhuang Yan turned around for the last time and said, "I will not forgive her, nor will I forgive her for Xie Ning. She hates others for driving Xia Lian to death, but she also used another method to almost kill her. Xie Ning."
"Her heart disease, any hardship, cannot be a reason for her to treat Xie Ning like that."
When she returned to the living room, Xie Ning was already sitting on the sofa.
Zhuang Yan walked over slowly, hugged him from behind, and buried his head in the back of his neck.
Xie Ning turned his head and said, "No matter how you walk, there is no sound. I was shocked."
"Where is Grandpa?" Zhuang Yan asked?
"Already fell asleep." Xie Ning said.
Zhuang Yan hugged him for a while, then went back to the sofa, and after sitting down, he hugged Xie Ning on his lap.
If you didn't encounter those things, what kind of temper would Xie Ning be like? Zhuang Yan thought.
He recalled the photo Yan Xi had shown him before.
Yan Xi said that he was like a little sun, which Zhuang Yan couldn't imagine.
He will probably live happily every day, not only being happy himself, but also making people around him happy.
There should be more words, not as silent and shy as now.
Maybe I will pester myself to say a lot of things every day, from morning to night without shutting up.
But Zhuang Yan will not be bored.
He thought, no matter what Xie Ning is like, whether he is cheerful and lively, or silent and introverted, whether he talks a lot or talks less, it is his Xie Ning.
It is his little prince.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Ning asked him when he was silent.
"I was thinking...how can I kiss you so that you don't push me away." Zhuang Yan replied.
Xie Ning's face turned red.
He whispered: "You...you want to kiss me?"
Zhuang Yan did not answer this time.
He lowered his head and exchanged a gentle and long kiss with Xie Ning.
It was so long, as if he had gone through the twenty years when he missed Xie Ning.
The author has something to say: 　　 Thank you for the long review of Little Angel Xuezou. Regarding Xia Wan’s heart disease mentioned in the long review, this post is mainly to respond and decipher this.
The setting was decided at the beginning, and later in the discussion with her friends, she said that she did not like this setting because it was a bit superfluous. She said that the stubbornness and prejudice of many elders were unreasonable.
So I finally decided to leave it alone, depending on the situation, and would not write if I had no chance.
At the end of the text, I am optimistic that many comments are mentioning this, so just add it.
If you don't like this setting, just assume it doesn't exist, and Xia Wan is so stubborn and sick.
The full text is over, everyone is destined to see you~KK
