After I fell down, I was targeted by my nemesis

Fang Qing's face was cold, and he slowly let go of the doorknob.

Didn't want to open the door.

"elder brother..."

Outside the door, while knocking on the door, Xiaozheng called crisply, "Brother, are you inside?"

Fang Qing was very angry at Lu Lixiao's despicableness, if Lu Lixiao was alone outside, he would not open this door no matter what, but...

"Fang Qing, it's so cold in the corridor." Lu Lixiao said outside the door, "Xiaozheng, are you cold?"

"I wear a lot of dad, I'm not cold... huh? Oh, I'm cold, I'm cold too, brother, I'm so cold."

Fang Qing: "..."

Fang Qing finally opened the door of the apartment. As soon as the door opened, Xiaozheng jumped up and hugged his thigh deftly, and looked up at him happily with his big black eyes blinking.

"Xiaozheng is here to celebrate the New Year with my brother."

Fang Qing's face moved slightly, and she looked down at Xiaozheng, with a gentle smile unconsciously overflowing from the corners of her lips.

Just as Lu Lixiao was about to walk in with a smile, Fang Qing quickly closed the door of the apartment, blocking Lu Lixiao from the door.

"Father hasn't come in yet..." Xiaozheng reminded Fang Qing.

Fang Qing knelt down and held Xiaozheng's little hand, and said softly, "Have Xiaozheng eaten?"

Xiaozheng shook his head: "Father said to eat at my brother's place."

Listening to Xiaozheng's father and brother calling, Fang Qing always felt uncomfortable. Lu Lixiao realized that since he was Xiaozheng's legal guardian, it was impossible for him to encourage Xiaozheng not to call Lu Lixiao's father, but if Xiaozheng I still call myself brother all the time, if you listen to me like this...

Isn't he just like Lu Lixiao's son...

"Xiaozheng, don't call me brother, uncle." Fang Qing said gently.

Xiaozheng tilted his head, somewhat at a loss: "Why?"

"Because..." Fang Qing was a little confused about how to explain it. Looking at Xiaozheng's innocent and ignorant expression, she finally sighed, "Forget it, brother is brother."

Just because he is younger than Lu Lixiao, it doesn't matter if Xiaozheng calls him that.

Anyway, he wouldn't respect Lu Lixiao like an elder just because he called him out.

"Brother, go to the kitchen to see what we can cook for Xiaozheng. Xiaozheng can watch TV on the sofa, okay?"

Xiaozheng nodded obediently.

When Fang Qing turned around and entered the kitchen, Xiaozheng turned his head and looked at the door that blocked his father out...

Fang Qing originally planned to cook a bag of quick-frozen glutinous rice balls for the night, and he doesn't know how to cook, so there are almost no ingredients in the refrigerator. If he wants to make dinner for Xiaozheng right now, he only has quick-frozen food from the freezer drawer Dumplings and ravioli.

Just as Fang Qing was holding a pack of quick-frozen wontons and thinking about whether there was still room for the restaurant outside, footsteps came from the kitchen door.

Fang Qing turned her head to look, and saw Lu Lixiao walking in with a full shopping bag and a flattering smile on her face.

Of course he knew who let this man in...

At this moment, the culprit was standing at the door of the kitchen, poking his head out to look inside cautiously, receiving Fang Qing's cold gaze, and retracting his little head with a whoosh.

"It seems that you treat Xiaozheng well..." Fang Qing sneered lightly, "He has made him one with you so quickly."

Lu Lixiao smiled: "He is still closer to you, and has been begging me to let me bring him to see you."

Lu Lixiao put the bag in his hand on the clean kitchen counter, and took out the ingredients one by one, the vegetables, seafood and fruits were quite rich.

Looking at the ingredients piled up on the kitchen counter, the muscles at the corners of Fang Qing's mouth twitched slightly: "Do you really regard this as your own home?"

"Just treat me as the servant who came to cook your New Year's Eve dinner." Lu Lixiao said softly, "Or, or just for Xiao Zheng's sake..."

"what ever."

After Fang Qing finished speaking, she strode out of the kitchen.

Lu Lixiao finally heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he had succeeded in the first step, he took off his coat, rolled up his cuffs, and quickly started working.

Fang Qing sat in the living room with Xiaozheng, and could vaguely hear the commotion in the kitchen.

Looking in the direction of the kitchen, Fang Qing's expression became complicated.

He shouldn't just let Lu Lixiao stay like this. Once some things are opened up, it will be even more difficult to control them later.

Maybe he shouldn't have opened that door in the first place.

"Brother..." Xiaozheng sat beside Fang Qing, holding Fang Qing's arm, "Can I sleep with you tonight, brother?"

"No, you have to go back with your dad." After a pause, Fang Qing asked softly, "Is this what your dad taught you?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head, and said obediently: "Dad didn't teach Xiao Zheng, but Dad asked me to praise him in front of my brother."

Fang Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he rubbed Xiaozheng's head: "Then how do you praise him?"

"My father looks as good-looking as my elder brother. Only my father loves my elder brother the most in the world."

Fang Qing was angry and wanted to laugh, "Is that what your father told you?"

Xiaozheng scratched his hair: "Dad said a lot, but I can't remember it. When I remember it, I will tell my brother."

Fang Qing took a deep breath, looked at Xiaozheng's serious and gentle way: "Xiaozheng, now that you have a new home, it's not a good habit to always think of brother here, brother... well, very busy, you From now on, live a good life with your father..."

Xiaozheng's eyes showed grievances: "Brother doesn't want Xiaozheng to come? But aren't we a family?"

"I...Xiaozheng and my brother are indeed not a family now. Xiaozheng came to my brother's place as a guest, and I can no longer rely on my brother like before, you know?"

Xiaozheng pursed his lips, and soon tears welled up in his eyes: "Brother, don't you want Xiaozheng?"

Fang Qing: "..."

Unable to stand Xiaozheng's aggrieved look, Fang Qing could only hug Xiaozheng in his arms to comfort him.

He has already booked a flight ticket to go abroad in three days, and it is not certain when he will come back, so there is no need to say such things to Xiaozheng right now.

After a long time, before seeing Lu Lixiao coming out of the kitchen, Fang Qing got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Standing at the kitchen door, Fang Qing saw Lu Lixiao standing in front of the kitchen counter, pouring sauce on a plate full of fried beef. The thin strips of muscle from Lu Lixiao's shoulders and arms to his waist are drawn tightly and shapely, tucked into the hem of his trousers and shirt, which outlines a strong and strong narrow waist, and also shows that the two legs under the black trousers are extraordinarily slender...

Fang Qing never denied Lu Lixiao's good looks, but the temptation many years ago seemed to have nothing to do with this skin.

Seeing this man now, in fact, he doesn't have much hatred or not in his heart, and he doesn't want to think about who is more wrong in this entanglement, he just feels tired.

I will always be forced to think of those unbearable past events, and I will be forced to think of that painful mental journey.

Seeing Fang Qing at the door, Lu Lixiao quickly smiled and said, "It will be ready soon."

Four or five exquisite dishes have been placed on the marble countertop, and there is still bubbling milky white soup in the pot, everything looks so warm and fresh.

Fang Qing walked into the kitchen, took a pair of chopsticks, and walked to Lu Lixiao's side.

Picking up a piece of beef and chewing it in his mouth, Fang Qing nodded slightly, and said slowly: "The meat is soft and the sauce is very fragrant. It's very good. It's much better than what you made before."

Lu Lixiao looked surprised, and after a few seconds, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, he tried his best to be gentle, and said with deep meaning: "There must be improvement, if there is no improvement, then there is really no chance."

Fang Qing put down her chopsticks, looked at Lu Lixiao and smiled faintly: "Then you think our relationship can be repaired with one meal?"

Lu Lixiao was startled, his face darkened slightly: "I will..."

"I know, you will continue to chase after me like this, worrying about these details." Fang Qing interrupted, but her tone was very calm, "After tonight is tomorrow night, anyway, you can easily grasp everything about me The itinerary, you can take Xiaozheng to find me at any time, and it will not end until you succeed or you get tired, right?"

Lu Lixiao stopped talking, his gaze fell on the table complicatedly, and after a long time he said in a low voice: "I will pursue you on the premise of respecting you, and I won't force you anymore, Fang Qing, I beg you, give it to me again." Just one chance, just one..."

"Lu Lixiao, can you really ignore the grievances of our previous generation?"

"I can."

"No, in fact, you haven't completely let go. It's just that you are pursuing me with all your heart and soul, and you don't have the energy to think about other things for the time being. When you calm down, or after we are together, every time your parents' birthday, or On my birthday, you will always think that the person next to your pillow is the son of your enemy. I believe you will not alienate me because of this, but that feeling will eventually be hidden in your heart like a needle, and so am I. When you are together, I will always feel that you have never let go of all your grievances to love me..."

"The past has passed, we should focus on the future, shouldn't we, why must we bind ourselves with the past?"

"The past will indeed pass, but Lu Lixiao needs time." Fang Qing said, "Just like my mother's death, this heart disease will always be with me for at least the next few years, and I know it will eventually heal That day, but not now, like you and me in the past, I don’t want to hate you anymore, it’s not that I’ve let go, it’s that I’m too tired, I’ve lost too much, if I hate you again, then I The rest of my life will be meaningless...."

"You mean..." Lu Lixiao looked at Fang Qing anxiously, "May I give you a period of time to recover?"

"Ah."

"how long?"

"Five years." Fang Qing said without thinking, "If you still love me after five years, you can come to me again, and I will at least give you a chance to pursue."

Hearing the time figure of five years, Lu Lixiao's mouth muscles almost lost control: "Five, five years? Such a long time?"

From Lu Lixiao's point of view, this was more like an excuse for Fang Qing to dismiss him.

Five years, that seems like a very distant blip.

What should Fang Qing do if he was bullied in the past five years?What should I do if my life and business encounter difficulties?Or in case of falling in love with someone else...

Or there is something even more frightening, Fang Qing might forget about him...

"One month is already the limit for me, five years..." Lu Lixiao's eyes began to turn sore, he wanted to shake Fang Qing's hand, but he was afraid of annoying Fang Qing, so he could only hold the edge of the table with both hands , bowed his head and looked frustrated, "I will be boiled to death..."

"You will not."

"Yes." Lu Lixiao said suddenly, he turned his head to look at Fang Qing, his eyes finally turned red, "You don't know how painful that feeling is, it's like being stunned, Fang Qing, you once liked me, you Do you know that feeling? Multiplying it ten times and a hundred times is how I feel after leaving you..."

Fang Qing avoided Lu Lixiao's gaze, and looked away indifferently: "I don't know, I only know that if you continue to pester me like this, I will hate you more and more, and I don't even want to see you with Xiaozheng. It is impossible to stop you from appearing in front of me, but my feelings for you will never get any closer because of the distance..."

Lu Lixiao was silent for a while before whispering: "Shorter, I beg you, Fang Qing, not five years, that's really too long, five months?"

"...Is there anyone who bargains like you?"

"That half year."

"Four years."

"One year."

"Lu Lixiao, you are enough!" Fang Qing said suddenly, "Do you think I am joking with you?"

"I...."

"It's fine if you don't want to." Fang Qing said sharply, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Hearing the movement, Xiaozheng popped up at the kitchen door after a while, his eyes lingered on Fang Qing and Lu Lixiao nervously, and cautiously said for a while, "Brother, don't be angry with Dad, Dad is a good man..."

Fang Qing: "..."

When the dinner was served, Fang Qing didn't continue to give Lu Lixiao a cold face because he was present.

Lu Lixiao observed Fang Qing's expression, and served Fang Qing with food attentively, but Fang Qing didn't pay much attention to him.

In the distant night sky outside the balcony, there are gorgeous fireworks, Xiaozheng and Fang Qing proposed to set off fireworks.

Lu Lixiao agreed with Xiaozheng, but Fang Qing flatly refused, saying that she was tired and had to rest after eating.

"Then can I sleep with my brother tonight?"

"No." Fang Qing said very seriously, "You and your dad will leave after eating."

Just as Xiaozheng curled his lips to show an aggrieved expression, Fang Qing immediately said: "If you cry, I will drive you father and son away now."

Xiaozheng sniffed hurriedly, buried his head and continued to eat.

Fang Qing looked up at Lu Lixiao, and said coldly, "You taught?"

Lu Lixiao didn't answer, but hurriedly stood up and filled Fang Qing with soup.

At this moment, Fang Qing's cell phone by the table rang, and Lu Lixiao saw the caller ID on it named "Brother Mu" at a glance.

Moo?

In just a few seconds, Lu Lixiao filtered all Fang Qing's friends he knew in his mind, and finally locked on the man who had dinner with Fang Qing a few days ago and posted photos to "show off" on the Internet.

It seems to be an actor named Yue Mu...

Fang Qing picked up the phone, got up and went to the balcony to connect.

Lu Lixiao looked at the gentle smile on Qing's face after he connected the phone on the balcony in the distance, his heart full of holes seemed to be pressed into a vinegar jar, it was sore and painful.

"Dad, what's the matter with you?" Xiaozheng looked at his father with a dejected face, and asked suspiciously.

Lu Lixiao waved his hands, almost speechless.
