Fang Fengzhi had been to the registry twice, and this was his third time.
Min Zhi held his hand and went in. In less than twenty minutes, the two of them had completed the formalities and came out. The last time he got married was a long time ago. They signed the documents, took photos, and then the person left. But he didn’t feel very sad at the time. He was so agitated that he wanted to laugh out loud. Apart from that, Fang Fengzhi had forgotten everything else.
Now he was holding the thin wedding album with Min Zhi, and he couldn’t tell what he felt inside — happy and at ease — and he wanted to hug Min Zhi. As he thought about this, a pair of hands hugged him from behind, and Min Zhi leaned over and kissed his cheek. His cheek felt warm under the scarf.
It’s already spring, but this morning Min Zhi still wrapped Fang Fengzhi tightly in a scarf, saying it was too windy. Now that the sun was out, he reached out and took off Fang Fengzhi’s scarf. Half of his face was red. He couldn’t help but kiss Fang Fengzhi’s lips, with a smile in his eyes, “The weather is really nice today.”
They walked to the parking lot together, but when they turned the corner, Min Zhi stopped. Fang Fengzhi just turned around and was pressed against the pillar. Min Zhi’s kiss was passionate and sudden, as if it had been suppressed for a long time. After a while, Fang Fengzhi finally let go of the breathless Fang Fengzhi. The heat on his face that had just disappeared returned to his face. He looked at Min Zhi, and the Enigma was also looking at him, with the corners of his lips raised undisguisedly. He had never seen Min Zhi so happy.
The two people, who were wearing the same rings, held hands together, and Fang Fengzhi couldn’t help but laugh.
The hospital’s examination results showed that he was one month pregnant. Min Zhi did not seem surprised at all, but Fang Fengzhi was just touching his belly in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
Min Zhi leaned over from behind and hugged him, touching his soft belly. “What’s wrong?”
He grabbed Min Zhi’s hand. “I, I’m not ready yet…” It’s not that he didn’t want it, it’s just that the child came too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared at all.
Min Zhi’s eyes sank. Indeed, it was too early for Fang Fengzhi to have a child at such a young age. He slowly touched Fang Fengzhi’s belly. At that time, he wanted Fang Fengzhi to get pregnant at once. He was already in his thirties and no longer young. Fang Fengzhi would grow up slowly and meet someone better. He was not the best choice. So he wanted to lock him up with marriage and children.
After a long silence, Min Zhi kissed the Omega’s shoulder and said, “It’s okay. I respect your choice.”
After that, neither of them mentioned the matter again. Fang Fengzhi was very hesitant. Of course, he was reluctant to have the abortion, but there were still many unresolved issues between him and Min Zhi. Marriage is not simply just about two people falling in love, it is the union of two families. They need to slowly understand and deepen their relationship. In addition, he and Min Zhi also have many contradictions and differences hidden under the surface. Thinking about it now, he feels that their marriage was impulsive. But if he could go back to that night, Fang Fengzhi thought, he would still agree to Min Zhi.
He couldn’t bear to refuse him.
Whenever Fang Fengzhi thought of the scene and the words that came out of Min Zhi’s mouth, his heart was hot, and he wanted to laugh. He couldn’t help but lean his head on Min Zhi’s arms. Min Zhi was half asleep and half awake, and he felt the warmth and hugged him very easily.
“Are you free tomorrow?”
“What’s wrong?”
Fang Fengzhi hugged Min Zhi’s waist tightly and said, “I want to take you to meet my father.”
The next morning, Fang Fengzhi vaguely felt Min Zhi get up. The man kissed him on the cheek and left. He thought he was going for a morning run as usual, but when he opened his eyes, he saw him changing his clothes, dressed very formally.
He seemed quite calm last night, but he didn’t expect him to care so much. Fang Fengzhi walked up to him and saw that Min Zhi still wanted to change, so he said, “This set is very good.”
Min Zhi turned his head and kissed him. “I’ll listen to you.”
The two of them arrived in the town. Fang Fengzhi’s father was on vacation today and stayed at home. When he heard that Fang Fengzhi and his friend were coming over, he even went out to buy a chicken.
When Fang Fengzhi arrived home and he saw the man who came with him, his father was stunned for a moment. “Who is this?”
“He is Min Zhi.” Fang Fengzhi paused, “I am dating him now.” This is the unanimous statement of the two. After all, it is not normal to get married so quickly after getting divorced.
Min Zhi politely called him “Uncle.”
Father Fang responded and let the two of them in. Then he quietly asked Fang Fengzhi, “You and Xiao Fu…”
“Divorced.”
“Ah?” Didn’t they come back together during the Chinese New Year? “Is there some conflict?”
Fang Fengzhi nodded, “We are not quite suitable…”
Father Fang didn’t say anything. He owed Fang Fengzhi a lot over the years. Even Fang Fengzhi’s marriage started because he needed money. He didn’t dare to ask too much.
When Min Zhi heard Fang Fengzhi say that Father Fang liked to drink, he brought a few bottles of wine over.
Drinking is one of Fang Fengzhi’s father’s biggest hobbies, but he has rarely drunk in recent years. He knew the wine was expensive when he saw it, so after having a meal and getting familiar with Min Zhi, he dragged Min Zhi to drink there. Before Fang Fengzhi and Fu Baiqi got together, he only met them once at the wedding. Fu Baiqi was extremely cold to both him and Fang Fengzhi, and he also never saw him again.
But the one that came over today was different. Although he looked difficult to deal with, but he respected Fang Fengzhi very much. He always picked food for Fang Fengzhi during meals. Even if he didn’t know what he was like behind the scenes, at least he was willing to put in enough effort on the surface, which showed that he cared about Fang Fengzhi.
After three rounds of drinking, Min Zhi was not drunk, but Father Fang was upset and dizzy. He treated Min Zhi as his usual co-worker, hugged Min Zhi’s shoulders, and chatted with him. Min Zhi did not push him away but listened to him talking about Fang Fengzhi’s childhood carefully, saying how obedient and worry-free and how filial he was and how he’s good to his parents and family. The few words he occasionally said were all about Fang Fengzhi’s lonely childhood. Fang Fengzhi asked him to stop, but he couldn’t.
The more he listened, the more uncomfortable Min Zhi felt. He grabbed Fang Fengzhi’s hand and held it in his palm, listening to Father Fang’s venting words in silence.
At night, he asked the two of them to stay over and sleep. Min Zhi was actually a little dizzy and had a stomachache. Fang Fengzhi asked him to sit there and rest while he went to the room to clean up. Min Zhi frowned and pressed his head, then leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed. Father Fang suddenly called him, “Xiao Min ah.” The voice didn’t sound drunken; Min Zhi was mostly sober too.
“What’s wrong, Uncle?”
Father Fang came closer to him, his voice not as loud as before. “You two actually knew each other before the divorce, right?” He just said that they knew each other, but he meant something else. It was only a few months after the Chinese New Year, and their relationship was already closer, so they can’t have known each other for just that long.
Min Zhi paused and remained silent for a while but did not deny it.
Father Fang nodded. “Our Xiao Zhi had bad luck when he was young. We were not able to accompany him, love him, and protect him. After he grew up, he had a lot of burdens on his shoulders… we are sorry for him.”
“The one before was also not nice to him, I can tell.”
Min Zhi lowered his eyes, feeling so depressed that he couldn’t breathe.
He saw Father Fang wipe his eyes. “It’s wrong to do this.”
“But if you can be nice to him and make him happy, I won’t blame you guys.”
When it was time to sleep, the two of them squeezed into Fang Fengzhi’s small bed. Min Zhi hugged him tightly and couldn’t help but think of what Father Fang had said about Fang Fengzhi’s childhood.
“What did my father just tell you?”
“Huh?”
“I saw everything. You guys were talking about something while I was away.”
Min Zhi looked at Fang Fengzhi’s dog-like eyes, feeling sad. “He told me to treat you well.”
“What did you say?”
“I said I would marry you and stay with you, love you, and protect you for the rest of my life.”
Fang Fengzhi smiled, “You are really good at talking.”
He lowered his head and kissed Fang Fengzhi’s eyes. “It comes from the bottom of my heart.”
“Really.”
Fang Fengzhi’s smile got bigger, and he hugged Min Zhi tightly. “Okay.”
