Cappuccino Rhapsody

In mid-January, the motorcycle was covered with a thin layer of dust, and Ling Jiangyuan helped Qi Xu wash it, which was barely visible.Ling Jiangyuan originally said that he would send him back with him, but he received a phone call saying something happened in the school, so he had to go back home halfway.

Qi Xu drove home by himself, and he didn't tell anyone. When he arrived at the door, he found that his fingerprints were not on the door, so he had no choice but to call Qi Roujun.

After a few minutes, Mr. Qi Rou came to open the door, couldn't help smiling at Shang Qi Xu's glaring eyes, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Who asked to delete it?"

"Who else could it be?" Qi Roujun said, "It's not like you don't know Dad's character."

Qi Xu kicked the door fiercely, "It's so fucking awesome."

"That's enough, stop scolding." Qi Roujun glared at him, "Are you embarrassed, who told you not to come home on New Year's Eve? Dad was so angry that he almost threw the table over, and only threw you It’s fine if your fingerprints are deleted. What are you doing back now?”

Qi Xu paused, and said, "I'll throw the motorcycle into the garage. And..."

Qi Roujun looked at him: "What?"

"The anniversary of death." Qi Xu said.

The expression on Qi Roujun's face was slightly stiff, and he immediately lowered his eyes and said, "It's still a few days."

"I usually take this day as the death day." Qi Xu said, "Birthdays and death days have to be separated."

Mother's birthday and death are on the same day, and Qi Xu is used to coming separately every year.The birthday is happy, and the death is sad. He doesn't want the two emotions to be mixed together, which is boring.

Qi Roujun sighed, recorded Qi Xu's fingerprints again, and said, "Dad is here today, so be careful."

"He's caring about my business." Qi Xu said, "I'll just go to the garage and leave."

Qi Roujun had no choice but to sigh softly.

But just as Qi Xu stopped the motorcycle, he suddenly heard Qi Xiong's voice: "Where are you going?"

Qi Xu turned to look at him, but said nothing.

"It's noon, why don't you eat when you go home?" Qi Xiong said blankly, "Come in for dinner."

Qi Xu turned his head and gave Qi Roujun a look, Qi Roujun was quite embarrassed and said: "When I first came out, I just said you were here, and I didn't mean it."

Qi Xu didn't say anything more.

Qi Roujun's husband was also there, and they were sitting next to each other, Qi Xiong was sitting in the main seat, and the woman was next to him.

Qi Xu was supposed to sit next to that woman, but he took the lowest seat and didn't even show the woman the slightest expression.

The woman smiled uncomfortably and said, "It's rare that everything is here."

Qi Xiong nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Let's eat."

There was silence during the meal, and everyone felt the cramped feeling, but no one took the initiative to speak.In the end, it was the woman who had the courage to ask: "Is Mr. Rou's due date coming soon?"

"Soon." Qi Roujun nodded cooperatively, "It will be the end of this month."

"Be careful." The woman nodded lightly, "It's better to stay in the hospital first, so as not to miss the time."

"Well, it's agreed that I'll be admitted to the hospital next week." Qi Roujun smiled, "I'm not worried, but what I'm most worried about is Qi Xu. There are people in their twenties, and they don't even have a girlfriend. None, I introduced several to him some time ago, but I didn’t like them.”

Qi Roujun's husband looked up at Qi Xu, and said: "I have a few girls here, if you want, you can try to get in touch with them."

"It's time to get married." Qi Xiong said in a deep voice, "I was already married when I was your age."

Qi Xu let out a low snort, but didn't answer.

Qi Xiong said again: "Don't think it doesn't matter, if you are older, just..."

"I don't need you to worry about that." Qi Xu interrupted him impatiently, "I'm already planning to get married, and I already have someone to marry."

"铛——" With a sound, Qi Roujun's hand trembled violently, and the spoon in his hand just fell on the table.

She looked at Qi Xu in disbelief, and realized something: "Xiao Xu?"

"I'm done eating." Qi Xu really didn't want to pretend to be affectionate with Qi Xiong here, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Let's go first."

"Bastard!" Qi Xiong was so angry that he swept the bowl on the table to the ground, "What!"

Qi Xu's lazy voice came from afar: "You were born even if you are not a thing. Do you think you are a thing?"

If it wasn't for the fact that the table couldn't be lifted, Qi Xu guessed that the table would also be under Qi Xiong's hands.

But Qi Xu is quite happy in his heart, I don't know why every time he quarrels with Qi Xiong, seeing Qi Xiong look like he has nothing to do with him, he feels very happy.

Qi Xu went to the back mountain to see his mother and then went home, humming a song when he came home.Ling Jiangyuan was washing clothes, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head to look at him, and then smiled: "Are you in a good mood when you go home?"

"Yeah." Qi Xu said, "I had a fight with the old man."

Ling Jiangyuan was taken aback: "Why did you quarrel? Are you still in such a good mood after the quarrel?"

"I'm in a good mood to see if he's upset." Qi Xu crossed his arms, stood leaning against the wall, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you washing it by hand? You can just throw it in the washing machine."

"This is a shirt." Ling Jiangyuan held up the luxury brand shirt that Qi Xu had replaced helplessly, "It will be useless after machine washing."

Qi Xu had an epiphany: "I said why I can't wear so many shirts once!"

Ling Jiangyuan glared at him: "Go away, don't bother me. You rich young masters don't even know this basic common sense of life."

Qi Xu put his arms around Ling Jiangyuan's neck and rubbed it, and said coquettishly: "It's fine if I have you."

Ling Jiangyuan was angry and funny at the same time, rubbed the back of his hand and asked, "Why did you quarrel?"

"The old man is urging the marriage." Qi Xu said, "I said I have a boyfriend, and he got mad."

Ling Jiangyuan was also shocked: "You said you have a boyfriend?"

"No, I didn't say that I have a boyfriend." Qi Xu deliberately emphasized the word "male".

Ling Jiangyuan patted his chest: "You almost scared me to death."

"It's so scary?" Qi Xu thought in his heart that his boyfriend Ling Jiangyuan felt scary. If he knew that he was not only talking about a love partner, but also a marriage partner, wouldn't he be scared out of his wits.

"It's better not to be so aggressive when you get along with your own father." Ling Jiangyuan advised him, "At least in my opinion, Uncle Qi has treated you very well."

"That's because you don't know how the old man treated my mother before." Qi Xu's face darkened, and he sat down beside Ling Jiangyuan, and said in a low tone, "Do you know, when my mother was about to die, I I didn't even see her a few times. At that time, I was forced to live in the school by the old man, and the management was completely closed, so I couldn't escape at all. The day my mother died..."

Qi Xu took a deep breath and said, "I haven't even seen her last side."

Ling Jiangyuan wiped off the water on his hands, and held Qi Xu's hand tightly.

Qi Xu lowered his eyes, chuckled, and said: "The old man brought that woman to us not long after my mother left, but it's a pity that I don't let people in, so I have been hiding in the golden house outside for so many years." Jiao, it wasn't until my sophomore year in high school that I officially took her back, and I didn't even care about my opinion."

"Actually, what I can't figure out the most is why even my sister has been on his side for so many years..." Qi Xu smiled softly, "Actually, I am the most dispensable in this family." Alone, when I went back today, even my fingerprints were wiped clean."

Ling Jiangyuan pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to hold Qi Xu's head tightly in his arms, and gently patted his back with the other hand. He didn't know what to say to comfort him, only such silent company.

But Qi Xu's mood calmed down because of the faint smell of lavender on Ling Jiangyuan's body.

He took a deep breath and said, "Why are you still using this shower gel?"

"I'm used to it." Ling Jiangyuan smiled, "Habits are hard to get rid of. I couldn't buy this shower gel when I was abroad. Every time I asked a classmate who returned to China to help bring it over, I have been using it for so many years. .”

Qi Xu raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

What he didn't tell Ling Jiangyuan was that he had been using this shower gel all these years.

After meeting Ling Jiangyuan, he threw away all the lavender non-stop and replaced it with other shower gels, until now Ling Jiangyuan didn't find any clues.

Of course, it is impossible for Qi Xu to let Ling Jiangyuan find out.

Ling Jiangyuan hugged him for a while, then told him to roll away: "Don't disturb my laundry here, if I continue to procrastinate like this, how long will it take to finish the laundry?"

"Got it, got it." Qi Xu sighed, "Then you can continue washing. I'm going out."

Ling Jiangyuan nodded, and Qi Xu went to the living room in three steps and two turns.There are several missed calls on the phone, all from Qi Roujun.Qi Xu didn't return either.

But when I opened WeChat, there were several messages from Mr. Qi Rou.

Qi Roujun: What's the matter with you?Who are you going to marry?

Qi Roujun: Brat, answer my question!

Qi Roujun: Don't tell me it's with Ling Jiangyuan, you're crazy, aren't you?

Qi Roujun: Marriage is not allowed in China, what are your plans, you have to tell me.

……

Qi Roujun sent more than 30 posts, Qi Xula finally read all of them, sighed, and returned an emoji to Qi Roujun.

Mr. Qi Rou quickly refreshed his expression.

Qi Roujun: What the hell is going on, brat!

Qi Xu: As you think.

Suddenly there was silence.

Qi Xu looked at the chat dialog box showing countless times of typing, and finally got a little impatient, and Qi Roujun sent a message.

Qi Xu thought it would be very long, but he didn't expect it to be just two short sentences.

Qi Roujun: No matter what, follow your heart.

Qi Xu took a deep breath and typed a long paragraph, but in the end he deleted them all. He only sent an "OK" emoji, and Qi Rou-jun didn't reply.

But Qi Xu knew that Qi Roujun would definitely help him.
