Stand-in Relationship - Chap 159
The name on his identity card was now “Qin Zhou.”
If they got married, the two names that would appear on the marriage certificate would be “Qin Zhou” and “He Yang”.
Xu Chengyan frowned, didn’t really want to get married as “Qin Zhou”.
“Shall I change your name back for you?” He Yang touched the youth’s forehead.
Xu Chengyan closed his eyes, felt the warm touch on his forehead, thought about it, and said, “Let me think about it again.”
Currently, he was an actor and with so many people watching him, it wouldn’t be good if he was exposed to news like an impostor.
“Okay.” He Yang responded and did not say much.
The two of them stayed in the study for a while, and then went downstairs.
After dinner, the butler came to He Yang’s side and reminded, “Young Master He, it’s almost New Year’s Eve, isn’t it time for the house to be decorated?”
He Yang didn’t care about the New Year and nodded casually, “It’s all fine, just let Uncle Wen decide.”
The butler then asked, “Is there anything that Mr. He wants?”
“Whatever.” He Yang still didn’t care.
Xu Chengyan was next to him, holding Xiao Wen on the sofa, and while he was smoothing Xiao Wen’s hair, he said on a whim, “Can we buy some wonton skins? I want to wrap wontons.”
The butler nodded in response.
He Yang didn’t react at first, until the butler walked away, then he looked at the person next to him, “Yanyan?”
Xu Chengyan put Xiao Wen down before turning to face He Yang, wrapping his arms around the man’s neck and saying, “Let’s spend New Year’s Eve together this year.”
He Yang didn’t say anything, his palm resting on the youth’s back and hugging him tightly.
Only after a long time did He Yang give a very soft response.
It had been a long time since they had spent New Year’s Eve together.
Four years……
It was getting close to the New Year and the butler was starting to decorate the old house.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, the servants all went back their hometown on vacation, so only the butler stayed behind, while father He was still recuperating abroad and would not be coming back for New Year this year.
In the past, when Xu Chengyan accompanied He Yang back during the Chinese New Year, the mansion would be more lively and would be decorated in a lively manner.
But ever since the car accident, the old mansion had become more and more deserted, and the New Year was also cold.
But this Chinese New Year was different, as the other owner finally came back and the old mansion became lively again.
Red lanterns were hung on the landscape trees in the courtyard, decorative hangings in the shape of firecrackers were put up at the entrance, and many new big red New Year decorations were added to the villa.
The original low-key villa is now filled with red decorations, which looks inexplicably tacky, but also adds to the atmosphere of life and is not as cold as before.
However, QiQi likes to destroy them, often chewing up the decorations at the door and then came to Xu Chengyan with the “toy” in his mouth with an innocent face.
Xu Chengyan had no choice but to put up new decorations on the front door.
Luckily, he knew how destructive QiQi was and had bought a lot of spare decorations.
And on New Year’s Eve, it was snowed.
Early in the morning of New Year’s Eve, Xu Chengyan came to the window to take a look and found that a large patch of white had fallen outside.
The snow was a bit heavy last night, and in just one night, a thick layer of snow had fallen outside, and the tree branches were all bent.
When Xu Chengyan saw the snow, he returned to the bed, nudged He Yang’s body and called out, “He Yang.”
He Yang was still sleeping, and when he heard the voice, he habitually took the person into his arms.
Xu Chengyan was wrapped in the man’s arms and raised his hand to scratch at the man’s chin, saying, “It’s snowing outside.”
“Hmm?” He Yang opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
Xu Chengyan repeated again, “It’s snowing.”
He Yang didn’t listen carefully to what the youth said, so he just leaned over a little and kissed the youth’s face, and one hand gradually reached downwards.
The morning was the time when lust was easily aroused, so He Yang skilfully lifted up the youth’s pajamas and slipped his palm inside.
But Xu Chengyan didn’t have so much on his mind this early in the morning, he was still preoccupied with the snow.
So Xu Chengyan moved away the hand that was fumbling around on his waist and said, “I’ll go outside first.”
After saying that, Xu Chengyan got up and left.
He Yang was still a bit helpless, so he had to go to the bathroom alone to take a shower and settle himself.
After coming out of the bathroom, He Yang put on his nightgown and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out, where he saw the youth, a dog and a cat playing wildly in the yard.
At this moment, Xu Chengyan was sitting in the courtyard, still wearing a pair of gloves, holding a small shovel and playing with the snow, piling up all the snow around him, seemingly trying to build a snowman.
QiQi, on the other hand, was lying directly on the snow and rolling around, almost burying himself inside the snow.
Xiao Wen was the quietest, not making any noise or fuss, and seemed to be a bit afraid of the cold, huddling in Xu Chengyan’s arms to hide from the wind, quietly watching his master play with the snow.
He Yang stood in front of the window, watching this scene, and did not go downstairs to disturb them.
In the courtyard, Xu Chengyan was still playing with the snow, piling up a small snowman half a meter high.
In fact, the snowman had already been piled up a long time ago, but in the middle of it, QiQi came over and ruined it, breaking the piled up snowman again, while still looking with his innocent face!
Xu Chengyan could only build a new snowman, and picked up a twig and stuck it on the snowman as the snowman’s arm, and took a picture of the snowman and sent it to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin received the message and quickly sent a photo back.
When Xu Chengyan took a look, he found that it was a photo of Jiang Lin and the snowman together, and it looked like it was taken in the courtyard, and the snowman was actually one person tall!
When Xu Chengyan saw that Jiang Lin had actually made such a big snowman, he suddenly became energetic and wanted to make an even bigger snowman.
So when He Yang came out, he saw Xu Chengyan sitting on the snow and shovelling the snow all the time.
It seemed that it was inconvenient to wear gloves to play in the snow, so Xu Chengyan even threw his gloves on the side, leaving his hands exposed, and they were all frozen red.
He Yang walked over and squatted beside the youth, stopping the youth’s movements.
Xu Chengyan was stunned and looked up.
He Yang moved the shovel out of the youth’s hand, then took the youth’s hands and wrapped them in his heart, frowning and said, “Why are you frozen like this?”
Xu Chengyan smiled and said, “It’s fine.”
It was probably because he had been frozen for a long time and his brain was more excited, he didn’t even feel his hands were cold.
Now that he was suddenly interrupted in the middle, it only felt like both his hands were frozen to the point of being senseless.
He Yang: “It’s cold outside, you go back inside first.”
Xu Chengyan couldn’t help but look at the half-finished snowman next to him and said, “I haven’t finished building my snowman yet.”
He Yang’s frown tightened, and while helping to cover his hands, he said, “Only children would come out to play in the snow in the morning without wearing gloves.”
Xu Chengyan leaned on He Yang’s shoulder and let out a soft laugh, did not refute.
He Yang said again, “You go in first, I’ll help you with it.”
“Really?” Xu Chengyan instantly looked over, his peach blossom eyes were also shining brightly.
He Yang looked into those beautiful eyes and couldn’t help but step forward, kissing the corners of the youth’s eyes and answering, “Mmm.”
Xu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and said at once, “Then you help me get it.”
Xu Chengyan got up, pointed to the snow pile next to him again, and said, “I want to make a two-metre snowman.”
He Yang responded, and then he coaxed the child back to the villa to rest.
However, even after went back to the villa, Xu Chengyan still went to the balcony, kept an eye on He Yang through the window, supervising him.
The villa was warm, so Xu Chengyan stayed for a while, and when his hands regained their sensation and became warm, he couldn’t sit still anymore and ran to the yard to play again.
By the afternoon, the two of them had finally built a two-metre high snowman and tied a scarf on it.
Xu Chengyan circled around the snowman and took several pictures of it before going back to the house with He Yang.
It was warm in the house, Xu Chengyan took off his jacket and wore a turtleneck jumper and nestled on the sofa.
He Yang was beside him, still holding both of the youth’s hands, tightly in his palms.
He Yang was helping to cover the youth’s hands, and from time to time he touched his ring finger.
Xu Chengyan also noticed He Yang’s actions, but didn’t say anything, just leaned lazily on the sofa.
The atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious until the sound of a vibrating mobile phone broke the calm.
He Yang frowned slightly and took a look at his phone, finding that it was a call from his secretary.
He Yang listened to the secretary’s report while holding the youth’s finger and playing with it.
Xu Chengyan just listened quietly at the side, and waited until the phone hung up before asking, “Are you going to the company?”
After all, it was New Year’s Eve, and now the company was still calling, which meant that things were urgent.
However, He Yang’s attitude was still casual, he continued to hold his hand and touch it around, saying carelessly, “There’s nothing going on, I’m not going.”
Xu Chengyan glanced at He Yang and thought of how He Yang had been spending time with him at the villa during this period of time, rarely going to the company, so he said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you go to work.”
In the past, when he was with He Yang, He Yang was usually very busy, either going to the company, or going out to socialize, or meeting with friends or something, and rarely stayed at home.
But now that He Yang stayed in the house all day long and didn’t go out, he was a little worried, afraid that one day the company would suddenly close down.
“Don’t worry.” He Yang’s tone was faint, not caring at all about the company. He lowered his head and kissed the back of the youth’s hand, saying, “We won’t go bankrupt yet, we have money to support you.”
Xu Chengyan was momentarily amused, and because his two hands were still being held by He Yang, he was kissed so much that his hands tingled and his fingers curled slightly.
He Yang kissed the youth’s fingertips, unknowingly kissing the ring finger, and somewhat nastily biting on it deliberately, creating a circle of teeth marks on the ring finger, like a seal.
After making the mark on the ring finger, He Yang then collected himself a little.
But very quickly, He Yang’s eyes moved down and landed on the youth’s knee, suddenly remembered something and said, “Yanyan.”
“Hmm?”
He Yang looked at the youth and reminded, “Your knee is fine.”
Xu Chengyan froze, and after reacting to what He Yang said, he gave He Yang a knock on the head, “What the hell are you thinking about all day long?”
All you can think about is the stairs, not the business.
