Airport.
Because of the next nearly two weeks of holiday, Ethan was dragged to eat dinner yesterday after Marcus returned to the company to continue working overtime until late at night before returning home. However, the biological clock is still by the usual 5:30 a.m. to wake up on time, so now sitting in the waiting room waiting for the plane boarding, Marcus leaned back in the chair. He closed his eyes a little drowsy, but why was Marcus next to him very sleepy when he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes? Still, he was surrounded by a man who kept telling him some not-so-funny jokes to annoy him.
Ethan saw Marcus's listless appearance. He was not listening to what he said. He finally stopped talking to himself with boring action, pulled out his mobile phone, and casually swiped two. The line of sight was fixed on the mobile phone screen on the photo on the head, and the corner of his mouth rose. A moment later, he patted Marcus's side, 'Look at this.'
Marcus glanced at it lazily. It was a photo of them taken from yesterday's media interview.
Ethan clicked the photo to maximize it, stroked his chin, looked at it for a long time, and laughed, 'The two of us look quite eye-catching standing together.'
'You're very narcissistic...,' Marcus watched him save the photo and was a bit speechless,'What do you want to keep this kind of photo for?'
'I think it's nice.'
Marcus didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Ethan smiled, and it didn't bother him anymore. His mobile phone rang just in time; it was Lucas calling.
Because he refused to arrange a blind date for him, Ethan sent Lucas to the United States a week earlier to accompany his grandfather. Lucas is very clever and very good at pleasing people. He is the most popular in their generation and his grandpa's favorite one, and he can help Ethan block a lot of anger from Ethan's family's old man.
As soon as the phone was picked up, Lucas on the other end winded up and said, 'Brother, you have to make a mental preparation first. Ah, too. Grandpa already knows about you and Marcus getting married.'
'You said that?'
'Of course not, you do not let me say, where do I dare to say, but the company is not someone talking about it, the wind came to this side, not only too grandpa knows, the head office of those old guys have heard that you want to marry a man thing, the news spread so fast is clearly someone behind the push, I did not guess wrong, should be Liam that guy did, his hand stretched really long, people are still in the back, the man is still in the back, the man is still in the back, the man is still in the back. His hand is really long, he is still in New York, he has eyes in the company first, he knows everything about you.'
Liam is that three months after the transfer to the mainland area, their first cousin is their generation of great-grandchildren in the oldest one, the older man has four sons and three daughters, the development of the fourth generation of great-grandchildren generation has more than ten twenty number of people, but most of them are the same as Lucas idleness of the copper, among the most promising Ethan and Liam two, and is often used to compare, Liam before has been in the head office of the company, he has been in the company's eyes and ears. Liam has been in the head office in an important position, this time because of project decision-making failure to have to put out to avoid suspicion. Of course, the transfer of the place is the Chinese mainland; obviously, the older man still has great expectations of him, so that is to be Ethan and his head-on, and Ethan, although the first cousin contact is not much, but the first cousin, the first cousin is not much. This significant cousin contact is not much, but know that he is not a good person. Sure enough, people have not yet arrived, and this hand is first stretched over.
Ethan thought about it and said, 'I don't care about him. I'll explain it clearly to Grandpa when I go back, and you don't want to provoke him to get me into trouble.'
'Okay, if you say don't care, don't care, what time will you arrive, I'll pick you up at the airport.'
Ethan reported the time of the flight to New York and then hung up the phone. The boarding announcement was already ringing, so he woke Marcus up. The two of them got on the plane. After sitting down, Marcus asked about him, 'Was it Lucas who called just now?'
Ethan smiled, 'You were asleep, weren't you? Still listening to me on the phone, Marcus this is the first time you've ever cared about my business.'
Marcus was all over the place when he heard him call himself that, but Ethan didn't seem embarrassed. His eyes moved down to his finger and continued, 'I say, you might as well wear the ring. From now on, you have to cooperate with me in acting out this fiancéidentity.'
Then, without waiting for Marcus to reply, Ethan's hand had already passed over and fell into his trouser pocket. Marcus almost wanted to reach out and push him away as hard as he could, but at least he resisted. The ring was searched, and Ethan pulled his left hand over it and helped him put it on his finger straight away.
Doing this kind of action, two people are very close to each other. Ethan slightly lowers his head, almost deceptively to Marcus. Marcus can even hear his breathing. This feeling is very awkward. His eyebrows also knit up. 'Are you too deep into the drama?'
Ethan raised his head to look at him, looked at the grave face before him, and froze for a moment before he understood what he meant by this. Instead, he was happy, and even more in front of him to get closer, close enough almost to kiss his posture: 'Are you afraid that I will fall in love with you?'
Low voice with a few compelling meanings, but obviously, Marcus is not so easy to be touched by a person. He said so, but even more calmly and terribly, he asked him, 'Do you think so?'
Ethan smiled, 'It's hard to say.'
If someone had asked him this question a month ago, he would have laughed and said, "What a joke!" But now, as his fingers rubbed Marcus's handsome and compelling face, Ethan was once again sure that only this face was very much to his liking.
Marcus laughed, 'You have always thought that I am arrogant, cold, and bad? Can you tolerate my character like this? Don't you think it's self-abuse if you really fall in love with me?'
Ethan withdrew his hand and raised an eyebrow, 'How do you know what I think of you?'
'William said so, you did make up a lot of bad things about me in front of him.'
Ethan lowered his head and smothered a laugh as he listened, 'I'm really failing. He even told you that, so it's true that he's got to be on better terms with you, but I thought you didn't like me mentioning him?'
Marcus skimmed his lips imperceptibly. He couldn't quite put his finger on it himself. He held his heart when he heard someone else mention William, but there didn't seem to be any extra feeling when he said it so smoothly himself.
Ethan leaned highly close to him, naturally noticing this small action. He smiled and went up, lightly tapping his lips like a dragonfly kiss: 'Don't overthink. If I one day really fall in love with you, I will tell you frankly.'
Marcus lightly pursed his lips; the corner of his mouth rarely showed a light smile. The stewardess came over to indicate that they were seated to take off. Ethan retreated to his seat, lips hanging to hide the smile. Just now, when he saw Marcus smile, he had to admit that it was not formulaic or perfunctory but from the heart of the light smile on his face. It was really. He was so happy to see Marcus smile.

The plane arrived in New York at more than nine o'clock in the morning local time. Marcus went to sleep over and had nothing to eat; Ethan wanted to wake him up and call him up during the period. He also had a little reaction, associated with the last time he returned to London, and reacted to the original. This guy has a plane on the airsickness, headache, and nausea problem, but he often flies all over the world, but also when it is a sin.
Ethan is very sympathetic. After disembarking, he immediately offered the person about to wilt a seat and rest. He also kindly fetched the luggage of the two people. I'm not sure where to get him a drink.
Perhaps because of the traffic jam on the road, the person who came to pick up the plane has not yet appeared. Ethan and Marcus stood outside the airport to chat; the wind blew Marcus, and he is now feeling much better, but also rare sincere thanks to Ethan, and finally said take back the previous evaluation; you're a person who sometimes still good..'
Ethan smiled helplessly, 'You're just now realising I'm nice?'
I used to think that your patience and gentleness with William was just an act because someone like Ethan couldn't give anyone the impression of being attentive and considerate.
'It's faked,' Ethan admitted matter-of-factly,'I actually prefer to be outright domineering or even a little bit savage than gentle, but this obviously doesn't work with William.'
'You don't seem to like him much to me.'Marcus said bluntly.
In addition to William's wedding day, in front of this man's face, to see a disillusioned and out-of-sorts; after that, his attitude toward Marcus's feelings, he likes William does not count for much at all, to be able to three times this name on the lips to joke with yourself is enough to see the spot, in that case, so before six years of obsessive with himself to steal a person and for what?
Ethan seriously considered it and said, 'Maybe it is. No one in this world can't live without anyone. I did like him, and it lasted for quite a while, but when it's over, it's over, and there's nothing wrong with taking what you can get.'
Marcus nodded, and Ethan looked over at him, watching the gleam that turned in his deep blue eyes, a smile surfacing at the corners of his mouth once more, 'I think it's better if we don't always have the conversation revolve around him from now on, what's the point of hanging on to a tree right?'
'... Well.'Marcus lowered his eyes. His eyes were a little dark for a moment; he just suddenly remembered his father, the man who had been alone for most of his life, although he had ruthlessly cut off all possible correspondence between himself and his mother and had never gone to look for her again. Still, he indeed lived his whole life for his mother; he had not fallen in love with anyone else, and after knowing that his mother was dead, the spirit that had been bitterly tormented to the limit had also finally collapsed and quickly Followed to go, such a radical love, even grandfather disagrees.
People are different from each other. Marcus thought of Ethan. Indeed, he wouldn't be the kind of person who can't live without love. Does he count himself? Compared to his grandfather and father, he seemed to be far from it, and to William, he even wondered if he had ever really loved him or if all he thought about was the little warmth he had given him when he was at his worst.
Ethan moved closer to him, 'What's on your mind?'
'Nothing.'Marcus said, averting his eyes to hide his emotions.
Lucas drove a car over. See, this side of their old brother and big president Marcus is almost leaning on a piece of intimate talking scene. The vehicle stopped at the roadside but did not drive over. Lucas sat in the car to look at the two people, touched the chin, and smiled playfully. This is going to be fake drama. Do it?
