The sun set slowly in the west, its round shape huge against the surrounding buildings. The sunlight cast a golden backdrop over the world, turning the man\u2019s tall figure even hazier.<\/span><\/p>

Most of Min Chen\u2019s face was blocked by the black hat he was wearing. The shadow cast by the brim of the hat obscured his eyes, that were slightly squinted in a smile as he looked at the young man. Qi Mu stared back at him, stupefied. Reaching out, he took the youth\u2019s right hand and slipped a bag into it, whispering, \u201cYoung gentleman, you forgot this, and\u2026 your boyfriend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>

When Qi Mu got into Min Chen\u2019s car, he chuckled and played with the bag in his hands. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect you to come back so early. Isn\u2019t your flight tomorrow? I was going to pick you up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

With one hand gripping the steering wheel, the man said, \u201cWell, it\u2019s supposed to be tomorrow, but the performance in Huaxia went smoothly, so I left early.\u201d After a pause, Min Chen added, \u201cZhu Wen Jun and Cheng Ting Wen asked me to bring you a message. They hope that you can grow quickly and don\u2019t forget to go back to Huaxia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help but chuckle. \u201cWell, I\u2019m planning to go back next month when the orchestra is on a holiday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu then asked a few questions about the tour. The Palisade Theatre was close to Min Chen\u2019s apartment, but the road was jammed with traffic. After driving for ten minutes, they could see the towering building\u2019s silhouette but unfortunately, they wound up in another traffic jam.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu looked at the long queue of vehicles and sighed. \u201cAlright, subways are much faster than driving sometimes. I didn\u2019t expect Vienna would have such a terrible traffic jam. I thought I could only see such wonderful scenes in Huaxia.\u201d After a pause, Qi Mu suddenly remembered something. \u201cBy the way, what did you bring me?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As he spoke, Qi Mu raised the small black gift bag in his hand. The edge of the bag was outlined with silver thread and small crystals were inlaid every few centimeters. The bag\u2019s texture was simple, yet luxurious, but was unmarked by a logo.<\/span><\/p>

When Qi Mu first received it, he thought it was a gift the man bought from some shop. But when he opened the package, there were only two simple things inside\u2026 They looked like tube-shaped things made of wool. It could\u2019ve been a scarf, but no scarf was that round. It could also have been a hat, but it wasn\u2019t big enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After thinking for quite a while, Qi Mu suddenly had an epiphany. \u201cYou bought me a wrist guard?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After a while, Min Chen said, \u201cIt\u2019s gloves.\u201d His voice was deep and dull, projecting his endless aggrieved emotions.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu, on the other hand, was carefully observing the four attached tubes that looked like elk\u2019s antlers. He failed to notice Min Chen\u2019s tone. When he heard that they were gloves, he was stunned. \u201cMin Chen, were you duped? How could they be gloves? There\u2019s nowhere to put your hand!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u300c……\u300d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou must have been cheated. How are they even packaged in such a high-end gift bag? They must have been very expensive, weren\u2019t they? Why didn\u2019t Daniel help you check them and let you buy such strange things?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u300c……\u300d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWell, where did you buy them? If they\u2019re expensive, then let\u2019s return it. In fact, let\u2019s return them right away\u2026 Uh\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The black Porsche stopped in front of a red light. The moment the car stopped, the man in the driver\u2019s seat leaned over and caught the youth’s lips in a kiss, completely swallowing his words.<\/span><\/p>

The kiss came so suddenly and fiercely that Qi Mu didn\u2019t have the time to react. When he returned to his senses, he was clinging to the man\u2019s chest while Min Chen curled his arms around his back. The exchange was so heated and intense that the air inside got warmer.<\/span><\/p>

Thanks to Vienna\u2019s 80 second red lights, by the time Min Chen settled back in his seat and stepped on the accelerator again, Qi Mu\u2019s cheeks were dyed red. He was in a daze. Of course, the most important thing was\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>

He stopped talking.<\/span><\/p>

The car stopped downstairs in the basement carpark. In the well organized community, there were no strangers, so there were very few people walking in the streets. Qi Mu was about to unlock his seat belt and get out of the car when a warm hand covered his.<\/span><\/p>

Looking up, Qi Mu encountered a deep and dark pair of eyes.<\/span><\/p>

With a dull tone, Min Chen said, \u201cThey\u2019re gloves.\u201d After a slight pause, he added, \u201cThey\u2019re a very, very good pair of wool gloves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu, in a daze: \u201c…?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThey\u2019re precious. They have crossed over three continents, passed two oceans, taken first-class flights, entered the conductor lounge of the world\u2019s top concert hall and most importantly\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen suddenly stopped and Qi Mu asked, \u201cMost importantly?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The man\u2019s phoenix\u2019s eyes drooped and Min Chen murmured, \u201c…Nothing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Most importantly\u2026 <\/span>I<\/span><\/i> knitted them!<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu looked perplexedly at the man\u2019s complicated expression. The two didn\u2019t get out of the car. Min Chen took the gloves out of the gift bag and carefully put them on Qi Mu.<\/span><\/p>

The gloves had three openings. The biggest one was on the wrist and the other two were for the fingers and the thumbs. The one for the left hand fit quite nicely, albeit a bit big, but that didn\u2019t make much difference. But when Qi Mu tried the one for the right hand, the tip of his thumb got stuck.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu\u2019s fingers were slender and long, the fact that his thumb couldn\u2019t slide into place meant that the person who made them was\u2026 extremely inept.<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen, on the other hand, was still very enthusiastic with the gloves. Staring fixedly at the small hole, he tried to make it bigger with his fingers.<\/span><\/p>

But how could a thin wool thread stretch so easily?<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen gave up after trying for quite a while. Taking his hand, Qi Mu murmured, \u201cThese gloves\u2026 Did you make them yourself, Min Chen?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The man placed so much value on the gloves that Qi Mu knew something was wrong. Despite being made of high-end, expensive materials, they were so poorly made, he could barely stand to look at them. He guessed that\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen made them himself?<\/span><\/p>

Faced with the question, Min Chen\u2019s hands froze. He shook his head softly. \u201cNot me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a pause, he added, \u201cDaniel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Daniel shot with rage, half the globe away: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Seeing the man\u2019s awkward response, Qi Mu was even more sure of his guess. If the man said he bought it, Qi Mu could still force himself to believe it a little.<\/span><\/p>

…Although he didn\u2019t think anyone would sell such ugly gloves that they couldn\u2019t even wear.<\/span><\/p>

But, Qi Mu wouldn\u2019t believe that Daniel made them. Qi Mu once saw Daniel skillfully sew a button that fell off from a shirt. Coupled with his doubt that Min Chen would actually let him wear something that Daniel made…<\/span><\/p>

It was absolutely impossible, alright!<\/span><\/p>

But the guy was proud, so Qi Mu could only smile charmingly and say, \u201cMn. It wasn\u2019t you, definitely not you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen, coaxed like a child: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Although the gloves weren\u2019t exactly wearable, Qi Mu still put them on, but\u2014\u2014his fingers couldn\u2019t go through the holes where they were supposed to go.<\/span><\/p>

They took the elevator to the top floor. A TV in the elevator broadcasted the big event in Vienna.<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen had just arrived in Vienna that afternoon, and he had been busy with the tour that he didn\u2019t pay attention to what happened in Vienna. Seeing the names \u201cLeon Zayev\u201d and \u201cLuo Yu Sen\u201d on the screen, the man\u2019s eyes narrowed dangerously. He remained silent.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu looked at the screen casually, not bothering to pay attention to it.<\/span><\/p>

Entering the apartment, they were instantly met with the warmth of the heater. Together, they took off their scarves and coats, standing before the coat rack as they hung their clothes. Their actions were fluid and natural, as if they\u2019d done it countless times before.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI was going to buy the groceries tomorrow, so there\u2019s not much at home today. Is a simple dinner okay?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201c…Home?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen\u2019s voice was a little low so Qi Mu didn\u2019t quite catch it. \u201cHuh? What did you say?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Min Chen swallowed his emotions and shook his head. \u201cNothing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu didn\u2019t mind it much. \u201cWell, I\u2019ll make something easy and quick. Do you want to help me\u2026? Well, forget it. I want to eat Chinese food instead of Western tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu wouldn\u2019t sugarcoat his words when it came to the man\u2019s ability to cook Chinese food.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu turned around and stepped into the kitchen while Min Chen leaned against the doorway and quietly watched his beloved. With his thin lips slightly curled up in a smile, the man\u2019s cold face appeared softer. He felt good.<\/span><\/p>

Just now, Qi Mu said\u2026 Home.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yes, it\u2019s home.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
