Chapter 37

　The room was very quiet.

　　The bright sunshine shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise apartment building without any obstruction, filling half of the room.

　　The light is projected on the floor, dividing the interior into two areas: light and shadow.

　　The sound of nature shimmered with brilliant light in the bright area.

　　The two men were looking at each other quietly on the sofa in the shadow area.

　　When Gu Ye closed his eyes, his mind was restless and he had random thoughts.

　　But at this moment, he was obviously caught pretending to be asleep, but he calmed down instead. It's just like the heartstrings have been plucked, causing waves that are more soothing and tender than music.

　　He looked at Qiao Yang lying next to him and had the illusion of traveling through time.

　　The two people in this scene are not ordinary friends, but have a close and even close relationship that they have been together for many years.

　　On a sunny afternoon, the two of them played the piano, drank tea, and took a nap together, feeling lazy and comfortable.

　　But in reality, they are still just friends.

　　Because even though Qiao Yang was so close to him and his posture was so intimate, his eyes were pure without any distracting thoughts.

　　Qiao Yang looked at Gu Ye for a while before reacting.

　　After he blinked twice, he sat up straight and asked strangely: "Are you not sleeping?"

　　Gu Ye was always good at hiding things. He sat up calmly, looked down at Qiao Yang and answered him: "I fell asleep and woke up again."

　　He asked in a low voice: "Were you looking at me just now?"

　　Qiao Yang: "Huh?"

　　He realized belatedly that he had been looking at Gu Ye calmly for a long time.

　　Even though he didn't do anything, he felt like he was being caught, and his face turned a little red.

　　He grabbed a handful of messy hair and explained with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, I just feel that the way you sleep is different from usual."

Then he quickly changed the subject: "You must have been sleeping too lightly. You woke up after just a short while. Do you want to listen to any more music? I'll play it for you."

　　Qiao Yang stood up and walked towards Tian Lai Zhi Yin and sat down in the bright area. Under the too bright sunshine, you can see that the man's almost transparent earlobes are slightly red.

　　Gu Ye leaned on the sofa and looked at him, his voice was lazy and comfortable: "I've rested, you can play as you like."

　　Qiao Yang: "Then I want to try composing music for my eldest brother's wedding, okay?"

　　Gu Ye became interested and kept nodding: "I also want to see how you compose music."

　　Qiao Yang: "Okay, as long as you don't feel bored."

　　He went home and took a music sheet book and put it on the music stand of Tianlaizhi Zhi. Holding a sharpened wooden pencil in his hand.

　　Sometimes he thought, sometimes played a few times, and sometimes drew a string of notes on the line book.

　　He was so focused that he almost forgot where he was, and he didn't notice the fiery gaze of the man who had been observing him.

　　In the warm room in the afternoon, irregular but not noisy piano music sounded from time to time.

　　Gu Ye enjoyed it.

　　~

　　Gu Ye is busy on weekdays, but he rushes home at the same time every night.

　　Qiao Yang was a homebody, and after Mo Yu moved out, he stayed at home playing music during the day except for morning jogging and shopping.

　　Go to Gu Ye's house to play some soothing music for him in the evening. But more often than not, he creates with the sounds of nature.

　　Because the original timbre of natural sounds always inspires him and increases his desire to create.

　　It only took him three days to write the main theme of Qiao Zhen's wedding song.

　　He sent a message to Qiao Zhen: [Brother, the main melody has been written. You listen to it and if possible, I will continue arranging it. 】

　　[There is no song title and lyrics yet. I think it would be more meaningful for you and my sister-in-law to decide the title and lyrics. 】

　　When Qiao Zhen received the message, he was at the wedding club with Liang Yuqian trying on several wedding dresses custom-made from Paris.

　　Qin Man is also there.

　　After the upbeat music came from Qiao Zhen's mobile phone, Liang Yuqian and Qin Man, who were trying on wedding dresses, were immediately attracted to it.

　　Liang Yuqian asked: "What song is this?"

　　After Qiao Zhen listened quietly, he answered her: "The theme song that the third brother wrote for our wedding. Would you like to give our opinion?"

　　Liang Yuqian has a very gentle personality, and due to her relationship with Qiao Zhen, she has regarded Qiao Yang as her younger brother since she was a child.

　　Moreover, Qiao Zhen often mentioned Qiao Yang in front of her recently, which gave her a good impression of her future brother-in-law.

　　She smiled and said, "It sounds great. Thank you Yangyang. Anyway, the music Yangyang composed for us is more memorable than any other music."

　　Qin Man was surprised and asked: "Did Qiao Yang write that song just now? He is really good."

　　Qiao Zhen: “He also asked us to name the song and write lyrics.”

　　Liang Yuqian was even happier: "That's great, let's think about it carefully."

　　It's so romantic to be able to write lyrics for your own wedding.

　　Qiao Zhen responded to her with a smile: "There's no rush. Let's go back and think about it slowly."

　　The holy and romantic fitting hall, because of a piece of music, adds some happiness to the newlyweds.

　　Liang Yuqian: "It's not easy to compose a song. We have to thank Yangyang."

　　Qin Man echoed: "Do you have time for Qiao Yang now? Do you want to invite him over to help you pick out jewelry? Can we have dinner together in the evening?"

　　Qiao Zhen held the mobile phone in his hand. He wanted to reply to  Qiao Yang, but he felt that his brother was too open-minded.

　　He has not even had the chance to formally apologize to his third brother, and he still feels guilty.

　　But the third child has already started writing wedding songs for his older brother.

　　Qiao Zhen, who had always been resolute, now hesitated: "...I'll ask him."

　　After receiving the call from Qiao Zhen, Qiao Yang readily agreed.

　　He had just finished writing a song and wanted to relax and go for a walk.

　　He also wants to find some inspiration for arranging songs from a happy couple who are about to get married.

　　Qiao Yang changed his clothes drove out, and quickly rushed over to the club where Qiao Zhen and the others were.

　　The clubhouse is a European-style building, majestic, luxurious, and white-romantic inside and out. There is also a huge garden and artificial lake outside.

　　After he entered the hall, Qin Man was the first to see him. She waved and shouted: "Qiao Yang, long time no see."

　　Qiao Yang walked over with a smile: "Hello, sister Qin Man, eldest brother and sister-in-law."

　　Qiao Zhen stood up immediately: "Lao San, you are here."

　　Liang Yuqian also smiled and greeted her: "Yangyang, you're here just in time. Can you and Manman help us choose a pair of watches?"

　　Standing in front of them was a row of employees wearing formal clothes. They were holding large black brocade boxes, which contained jewelry, watches, etc. from major luxury brands.

　　Precious metals and sparkling diamonds illustrate their high value.

　　Liang Yuqian: "I want to choose another pair of watches, but your eldest brother doesn't have any opinions, so I don't even know which one to choose."

　　Qin Man fell in love with a series called "The Sun and the Moon Shine Together": "I think this is good and the name is good. What do you think, Qiao Yang?"

　　Qiao Yang smiled and said: "I think it's good too."

　　However, Liang Yuqian, who asked them to choose, was interested in something else.

　　She smiled: "Since you both like this set, I will buy it for you."

　　Qin Man happily accepted: "Thank you, cousin."

　　Qiao Yang looked at the price: ...

　　He just said it casually.

　　Just when he was about to refuse, Qiao Zhen said again: "I remember that you like to collect watches. There are a few more here. If you like them, buy them all."

　　During the time that Qiao Yang came to this world, he had already accepted this identity, but he still had not adapted to the Qiao family's consumption concept.

　　He swallowed his refusal and said with a smile: "No, let's just have this sun and moon shine together."

　　Qin Man immediately asked them to adjust the size of the watch, and he and Qiao Yang put it on their wrists on the spot.

However, Liang Yuqian was very enthusiastic, perhaps because she wanted to thank Qiao Yang for composing music for their wedding. She gave Qiao Yang many small items.

　　After a jewelry hunt, Qiao Yang gained various small accessories such as watches, wallets, men's suits and ties, and belts.

　　As for the value, Qiao Yang no longer wanted to count the string of numbers that dazzled him.

　　The club provided lunch for four people, and after lunch, a few people took a walk in the garden.

　　Although the garden is an artificially arranged romantic atmosphere, this environment fills Qiao Yang with inspiration for composing music for the wedding.

　　Liang Yuqian suggested that the four of them take pictures together. In front of a wall of roses trimmed into a heart shape, four people stretched out their wrists with two pairs of watches to freeze the next photo.

　　In the photo, there are four arms and two pairs of watches. The shining diamonds in their respective dials become more dazzling in front of the wall of richly blooming roses.

　　Liang Yuqian was tired and sat with Qiao Zhen in the pavilion to rest.

　　She looked at the two people walking on the white brick path in the garden and said, "Manman and Yangyang had a pretty good chat. Do you think they are a good match?"

　　Qiao Zhen immediately stopped her: "Don't think or talk nonsense, they won't do it."

　　After all, it was not a good thing that Qiao Yang chased boys and forced them to drop out of school when he was a child. As the eldest brother in the family, he would not let this matter spread.

　　So Liang Yuqian didn't know Qiao Yang's sexual orientation.

　　Liang Yuqian: "It's just a joke. Don't be so serious. They are just good friends."

　　After speaking, he sighed again: "The main thing is that Manman has been too depressed recently. I want her to come out, get in touch with more people, and forget the past."

　　"After all, it's not easy to let go of someone you've secretly liked for so many years."

　　Qiao Zhen: "You mean Gu Ye?"

　　Liang Yuqian: "Yes, Gu Ye used to have occasional contact with Manman, but since Manman confessed her love three years ago, Gu Ye has distanced himself from her. He even deliberately ignored her birthday."

　　"Now we can't even be friends. Alas, can Manman not be sad?"

　　"I also want to divert her attention. Besides, Yangyang and the others are children of about the same age, so they should play together more."

　　Qiao Zhen said nothing more.

　　In the past few days, A Xing went to clean Qiao Yang's room every afternoon. When he came back, he reported: The third young master didn't go anywhere, he just stayed at home.

　　After the third child came back from abroad, he first stayed with Liang Wei and his group of dandies. At that time, he was very worried that the third child would be led astray by Liang Wei and others.

　　Now he no longer plays with Liang Wei and the others, but he also doesn't like to go out and stay at home playing music all day long.

　　This won't work.

　　The third child really should make more friends in the circle. And Qin Man, the eldest lady who was raised by the Qin family, is worth even more than him, the vice president of the Qiao family.

　　But her personality is cheerful and generous, and she doesn't stick to trivial matters. It would be a good thing for Qiao Yang to be friends with her.

　　~

　　Xu Weiling sat in the flower room of the Qin family villa and sighed with the housekeeper:

　　"Just looking at the background of the third young master of the Qiao family, he is indeed a good match for A Ye. But this child is not as well-behaved as Manman."

　　"Fortunately, Manman likes our A-Ye very much. One day, A-Ye will be more realistic and he will understand that Manman is the most suitable for our Gu family."

　　"Manman is only 24 years old. Please advise her to wait patiently for Gu Ye for a few more years."

　　"correct."

　　She raised her head and asked the housekeeper: "Look at Manman's recent activities. Aye didn't even say a word of blessing on her birthday last time. The eldest lady is probably still sad."

　　"Yes, ma'am."

　　The housekeeper took out his mobile phone and checked Qin Man's circle of friends.

　　Then he asked with some hesitation: "Madam, Miss Qin recently posted a message on Moments. Do you want to see it?"

　　"Let me see."

　　Xu Weiling put down the scissors and took them. There was only one sentence in the circle of friends:

　　#Goodbye to the darkness of yesterday and embrace the brightness of the future#

　　A sentence that made people think of it immediately aroused "concern greetings" from the ladies in the circle.

　　What follows is a flood of comments.

　　[Although I only saw the wrist in the first picture, I recognized Manman at a glance. Which brother does Manman watch with the sun and the moon shining together?! 】

　　[It’s the handsome guy standing with Boss Qiao, wow, who is it? It’s really sunny! Star eyes.jpg]

　　[First of all, congratulations to Manman for her new crush. 】

　　【Congratulations! 】

　　【Congratulations! 】

　　…

　　Qin Man replied: [Not the elder brother, but the younger brother Yangyang. Don't make random guesses, today we are accompanying the newlyweds to try on wedding dresses. The watch was given to us by Sister Sissi. 】

　　The comments below are still lively:

　　[Brother Yangyang? Is it Qiao Yang? 】

　　[It turns out to be the third young master of the Qiao family. Is he so handsome? First time seeing him. 】

　　[Manman, introduce him to us. 】

　　[Sisters, don’t worry, you’ll see him at Sister Sissi’s wedding soon. He is also the best man. 】

　　【expect! 】

　　【expect! 】

　　…

　　Manman replied: [You women, stop making trouble. Brother Yangyang likes to be clean, so don't disturb him when the time comes. 】

　　[Hehe, this is the first time I’ve seen a man who you are so protective of]

　　[Oh, I’m looking forward to it even more. 】

　　…

　　Xu Weiling glanced at the comment area indifferently and then clicked on a photo in the circle of friends.

　　In the spring afternoon, the sun is warm and bright. Flowers bloom all around the path paved with white jade bricks.

　　Qiao Yang stood tall and handsome in front of the azalea wall, looking at the garden scenery with cold eyes and an indifferent expression.

　　Qin Man stood next to him and seemed to be talking to him, with a sweet smile on his pretty face and holding a blooming hydrangea in his hand.

　　Handsome men and beautiful women, good times and beautiful scenery.

　　The two people were not deliberately posing, but chatting naturally and casually. Through the photos, you can even feel their warm and comfortable atmosphere.

　　It seems to be a better match.
