He said I was soft and nice

Breeze Bar.

Yan Hao looked at the person who came to his store and started drinking without saying a word, and he felt a little headache, "Xu Chen, don't spoil my good wine, how can anyone drink like you?"

In just half an hour, there were already several empty wine bottles in front of him, several of which were treasures from his shop.

Is this person here to get drunk?

Xu Chen didn't stop moving, poured himself another glass, and handed Yan Hao a card, "Pay the bill first, then bring me some bottles."

"Tsk, who said anything about money?" Yan Hao put his arms around his shoulders and asked him, "About work?"

After he finished asking, Xu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, obviously it wasn't about this.

Yan Hao immediately became interested, "It's not about work? What could it be? Could it be because of love?"

He said this half-jokingly, and he was just making fun of it casually, but when he saw Xu Chen stop drinking, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Damn it! Isn't it Xu Chen? The ten-thousand-year iron tree is blooming? Let me tell you why you have a cup of cappuccino in your hand. You never drink this."

When Xu Chen entered the bar, he was holding a cup of coffee in his hand. He accidentally saw the label on the outside, which was cappuccino, and Xu Chen never drank sweet coffee.

Xu Chen's eyes also fell on the untouched coffee on the table.

When Qi Ling asked with a smile if he wanted to drink the same coffee as him, he acquiesced.

"Are you talking?" Yan Hao became more and more curious, "Who is it?"

Xu Chen knew that if he didn't spit out something, Yan Hao would keep asking, so he said helplessly, "It's the one who came to the bar last time to ask me to get my student card. Also, we have nothing, so don't think too much about it."

He just felt that something was wrong with him.

It's not right to bring Qi Ling home, it's not right to let him wear his own shirt, and it's not right to hear Xu Zhou's anger when he said that the two of them had a close past.

Even, in the end, he connivingly took him away from Xu Zhou's side.

This emotion has been lingering in his heart, and he didn't have the mood to go to the company. After explaining to Secretary Sun, he came to the bar to find Yan Hao for a drink.

Yan Hao also remembered Qi Ling, "You are talking about him! No wonder."

"You probably didn't notice. After he entered the box, his eyes almost kept falling on you. Even if I wanted to chat with him, his peripheral vision was also looking at you."

It was obvious that Xu Chen had been spotted for a long time, but Xu Chen was serious and did not squint, no wonder he was confused.

Yan Hao crossed his legs and joked: "There is also an accident in the bar hall. When you went to subdue that drunk, this kid was far away from the encirclement. When he saw you coming forward, he immediately took a few steps forward. After the incident was over And the first one to find you."

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, but did not refute.

At that time, Qi Ling was indeed the first to run over, and he was the first to discover the injury on his arm.

Seeing his silence, Yan Hao sighed, "But I didn't expect you to be shaken so soon. After all, he is your brother's friend. I thought you would be very wary of him."

The relationship between Xu Chen and Xu Zhou was not as harmonious as it appeared on the surface.

"I know." Xu Chen took a sip of his wine, and said in a calm voice, "Also, Xu Zhou's attitude towards Qi Ling is obviously abnormal, and he seems to have other thoughts."

As for whether Qi Ling had other thoughts about Xu Zhou, he didn't know.

Thinking of this level, Xu Chen felt bored and flustered. He opened a bottle of stronger wine and took a sip. The alcohol was strong, but it made him sober.

Yan Hao didn't expect this, and said in surprise: "I remember you told me that your parents introduced your younger brother to a young lady from the Yu family. Isn't Xu Zhou dating someone?"

This kid wants to step on two boats?Have you even played in front of your brother?

Yan Hao thought of something, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "I thought of a coup! Isn't your brother interested in that little beauty? Then you can pretend to be intimate with him and stimulate Xu Zhou, preferably in front of Yu Tingting." Now, let the Yu family and Xu Zhou break up completely!"

The more Yan Hao talked, the more he felt that this method was feasible, "Didn't your father always want Xu Zhou to join the company to practice? If this scandal happens, who will be optimistic about Xu Zhou! At that time, the board of directors will have more people who support you. "

Xu Chen has a lot of shares in his hands, which were left to him by his mother, but now Xu Chen has no real power in the shares, and his father is also partial to his youngest son, so Xu Chen wants to make some achievements in the company Prestige, relying on the vote of the board of directors to bring his father down.

But this road is too difficult, and his father Xu Hanhai is not an easy-going lamp. Recently, he has been oppressing him openly and secretly, and it is difficult for Xu Chen to use it.

"Xu Chen, you have to thank me this time. If it succeeds, Xu Zhou will probably be blacklisted by the Yu family. In order to preserve the relationship between the two families, Xu Hanhai probably won't let Xu Zhou go. Isn't the competitor of the company solved?"

Yan Hao's face was full of complacency.

But after he said so much, Xu Chen didn't respond.

What Yan Hao said, Xu Chen also thought of it today.

But if he really did this, what would Qi Ling do?He will also become the target of Yu family's revenge.

The thought was snuffed out by him as soon as he woke up.

Xu Chen lowered his eyes, swirled the wine in the glass, and saw the ripples on it, as if his heart was wavering at this moment, "Forget it, we'll talk about these things later."

In fact, there was one thing that Yan Hao didn't expect. The basis of this matter was that Qi Ling also had feelings for Xu Zhou, and only by swinging between him and Xu Zhou could he tempt Xu Zhou to abandon Yu Chengcheng, who was well-matched.

He didn't want to prove it.

Yan Hao wanted to say something else, but Xu Chen obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he stopped talking.

"Okay, you have always had your own plans." Yan Hao is not an uninformed person, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's have a better chat, you told me that your project has taken a big turn for the better and it's going well ?"

Xu Chen nodded, "It's just that my dad wants Xu Zhou to join my project team during the summer vacation."

"Grass!" Yan Hao couldn't help being rude, he sat next to Xu Chen, poured himself a glass, and after drinking it, he wiped his mouth, "Your father is too partial, you finally made it up He just let Xu Zhou take advantage of this project without blinking an eye? His old face doesn't panic."

He still wanted to say something happy, but it's fine now, the more he talked, the more annoying he became.

Seeing that he was drinking in a hurry, Xu Chen changed him to a bottle with a lower alcohol content, "I've been used to it for a long time."

His father Xu Hanhai will always be that rhetoric——

[He is the younger brother, still in school, you are older than him, let him order. ]

[Your younger brother suffered a lot when he was a child, if he got into trouble, you should help him as much as possible, you are his only older brother. ]

[You are the closest brothers, you need to support each other, there is no need to distinguish so clearly. ]

They are just half-brothers, how close can they be?

Yan Hao didn't know about his family's situation, so he slammed the table angrily, "If Auntie hadn't left early, how could Xu Zhou, the son of a junior, bully you!"

Xu Chen's parents were not in such a good condition at the beginning, they worked hard together step by step, the small company grew bigger and bigger, but the two can share poverty, but cannot share wealth.

Xu Hanhai was messing around outside, while Xu Chen's mother was too tired in the early years to leave the root cause of the disease. She passed away when Xu Chen was sophomore. At that time, Xu Chen was 21. Xu Hanhai remarried half a year later, and she would be even younger The beautiful Xu Zhou mother and son took it.

At that time Xu Zhou was already 16 years old.

In other words, when Xu Chen was only 5 years old, Xu Hanhai had an affair in marriage and gave birth to an illegitimate child.

The more Yan Hao thought about it, the more disgusted he became, he bawled and took another sip of wine.

Seeing that he was drinking more vigorously than himself, Xu Chen's aroused emotions subsided a lot. He picked up the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with someone, "Don't talk about these annoying things, come and drink."

The two of them were drinking happily when Xu Chen's phone rang. He glanced and saw that it was Qi Ling.

Xu Chen's eyes darkened, and he didn't move for a while, but the other party seemed determined to call him, and at the last second when he was about to hang up automatically, he still picked up.

Yan Hao watched from the side and clicked his tongue, "Children nowadays are clingy, haven't you been separated for a long time? Never mind..."

But before he finished speaking, Xu Chen, who was still sitting on the sofa just now, suddenly stood up, with such force that he almost knocked over the wine on the coffee table, Yan Hao held him up, and before he had time to say anything , and saw that Xu Chen was no longer in the box.

Yan Hao looked puzzled, "What?"

Xu Chen outside was walking fast. He was holding the mobile phone, listening to Qi Ling's voice of fear, but before he could speak, a busy tone suddenly came from his ear——

The phone hangs up.

Xu Chen only felt his heart shrink suddenly, and his mind was full of the vibrato that Qi Ling lowered just now,

"Xu Chen, I seem to be being followed..."

After Qi Ling returned to school, he first printed out the transcripts required for tutoring, and made copies of various certificates.

Even if he doesn't need an interview through Xu Chen's relationship, it's not an exaggeration to bring such necessary certificates, and because it was recommended by Xu Chen, he has to take it more seriously and not embarrass him.

After Qi Ling prepared the materials, he rushed to the rented community, thinking about the knowledge points that Xu Chen had explained to him before, and walked a little faster involuntarily. There were still some questions that he didn't understand, and he would look at them when he got home. Information, but also take the opportunity to send Xu Chen a message to ask.

He picked up his phone, but caught a glimpse of a WeChat message a few minutes ago,

【Dad: How about the blind date today?Tell me about it. 】

Qi Ling clenched his hands tightly, the smile that had just risen in his eyes dissipated completely, he pursed his lips, and did not return.

He said to himself: "I have to go back quickly, Xu Chen may have already finished his work."

In order to hurry, he took a trail.

There are dilapidated residential buildings on both sides of the alley, and the street lights are dim, which casts his shadow very long. A gust of wind blows through, bringing the coolness of the night, but Qi Ling doesn't feel comfortable, it's too stuffy here.

It was too quiet, and seemed a little intrusive.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and wanted to go back to the residence early, but as he was walking, he felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be a slight noise behind him, which was very light but followed him everywhere.

Like, following him on purpose.

He pretended to raise his hand to take something from his pocket, turned slightly sideways, and saw a person standing under a dim light sign not far behind him.

The wall is hidden in the shadows and cannot be seen clearly.

At this moment, some pictures involuntarily appeared in Qi Ling's mind——

In the dark alley, the garbage can next to it was filled with a sticky and rotten smell, and there were some chattering words floating over continuously, like a gangrene. Wherever he went, there was always a pair of eyes behind him, staring at him firmly.

Those eyes were full of disgust, but they stuck to him, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.

Those are his parents.

Since he confessed his sexuality, he has been followed for a long time, and his parents seem to be afraid that he will do something embarrassing, so they monitor him all the time.

Even when he was in college, the other party was monitoring his life, just like the WeChat message just now.

Qi Ling closed his eyes. It was midsummer, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a layer of goose bumps even appeared on his body reflexively. He rubbed his arms nervously, and ran without thinking.

On the way, he took advantage of the chaos and made a phone call. He should have called the police, but somehow he called Xu Chen.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind, getting closer, and the other party chased after him.

He was so frightened that he couldn't hold his phone steady, and it fell to the ground, but he didn't have time to pick it up, so he turned and ran into another alley.

I don't know how many turns, he ran to a dead end, and in the silent alley, there was only the sound of his violent panting, one after another, there was no way, and he couldn't run anymore.

He couldn't help but bent over and retched, but couldn't spit out anything.

Qi Ling leaned against the wall, slowly slid down as if losing strength, and finally curled up in a corner, with his arms around his shoulders, his face deeply buried in his arms——

Hide, hide, don't let them find it.

Otherwise, there will be endless abuse and beating.

"What are you running for? Who do you want to see?"

"Are you fooling around with someone! Be honest!"

"How could we raise a son like you!"

Qi Ling couldn't help sobbing, he thought he had forgotten, but at this moment those words and eyes were extremely clear.

Pat, a drop of water fell on the light-colored concrete floor.

Qi Ling was a little dazed, did he sweat so much?

His hands tightened slowly, and the nails sank deeply into the skin of his arm. There was a tingling pain, but it didn't let him get out of those shadows, but sank deeper and deeper.

Until the familiar voice pierced through those noises and accurately reached his eardrums,

"Qi Ling, how are you? Are you injured?"

Qi Ling looked up and saw Xu Chen squatting in front of him with unsteady breath.

Xu Chen came to look for him.

For some reason, his emotions rushed out all of a sudden, without even thinking about it, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Xu Chen's neck, hugging him tightly, like a person drowning in the deep sea caught the only driftwood.

Xu Chen could feel the unstoppable trembling of the body of the person in his arms, as well as the soft sobs that escaped even after trying his best.

He hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and patted Qi Ling on the back lightly,

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
