He said I was soft and nice
Chapter 23 (1)
After entering the room, Xu Chen glanced at the person who was buried in his arms and never raised his head, and asked, "Do you want to wash your face?"
Qi Ling raised his head and looked around. The curtains in Xu Chen's room were drawn, and he couldn't see his fingers. It was darker than the hall.
The rustling voice was still in his ears, he shook his head vigorously, "No."
Xu Chen was treated as a humanoid pillow, but he couldn't help it, "How about going to sit on the sofa for a while?"
As soon as the words fell, Qi Ling's body shook violently, and his whole body jumped onto him, wrapping his arms around his neck, "Don't go to the sofa!"
He didn't want to hear the scratching sound of the sofa behind him.
The sudden gravity made Xu Chen subconsciously put his arms around Qi Ling's waist, and he took a step back to stabilize his figure.
Only then did Qi Ling realize that both of his legs were hanging on Xu Chen's body. He was a little embarrassed at once. He loosened his strength and slid off Xu Chen's body, but his hands were still holding on to Xu Chen's clothes, "When the electricity recovers, I will alright."
Xu Chen hummed.
The two stood straight in the darkness like this, the atmosphere gradually changed, and the sound of wind and rain outside the window added a touch of charm to the relationship between the two.
Qi Ling pursed his lips, lowered his head and whispered, "Xu Chen, can I continue to hug you? I'm still a little scared."
Xu Chen couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, he could only feel the slight tightening of the hem and the cautious tone of the other party, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The distance between the two is already close enough, if it goes further...
But before he could open his mouth, a person nestled in his arms and hugged his waist skillfully, "If you don't tell me, I will take it as your acquiescence."
After speaking, she gently rubbed against his arms, finding a more comfortable position.
In the darkness, his senses were infinitely magnified, and the hands on his waist tightened little by little. Xu Chen could smell the faint fragrance of Qi Ling's body, like the smell of hotel shower gel, mixed with a touch of sweetness.
The wisps and strands are endless, making it impossible for people to hide.
Now Qi Ling posted almost his whole body.
Xu Chen's chin touched the top of the other's hair, and the soft hair made him feel a little itchy.
"Qi Ling, you..."
He just wanted to let him go, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Qi Ling looking up at him with a very soft tone: "Xu Chen, you smell so special."
I really want to smell more.
Qi Ling stood on tiptoe and approached, he could feel the other person's unsteady breathing, every breath, with a shocking heat.
There was a little light in the gaps in the curtains, and his eyes fell on Xu Chen's lips, which were very thin. He wondered what it would taste like to kiss?
Is it as cold as this person's surface, or as soft and hot as yourself?
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer, Qi Ling could hear his own heart beating like a drum, thump, thump, as if it was about to break through the barrier in his chest, and he seemed to be overflowing with emotion.
But just before the two lips touched, Xu Chen turned his head and kissed the other person's chin.
Qi Ling couldn't help but froze.
At this moment, the chandelier above the head made a sound, the power was restored, and the room was bright again.
Qi Ling let go of Xu Chen, took a step back, and pretended to be stimulated by the light so much that he covered his eyes with his hands, as if this way he would not be lost, and would not be seen in his distress.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward——
Xu Chen rejected his soliciting kiss.
Xu Chen was silent for a while, then said, "That's not what I meant.
He just felt it was too sudden.
Qi Ling pursed his lips, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, it was too dark at that time, I didn't even know what I was doing."
After he finished speaking, he took off his coat and walked into the bathroom, "I'll take a shower first, the room card is in the pocket of the coat, can you help me get it for a change of clothes?"
Xu Chen had promised before that he would not let him go alone, besides, Xu Chen had already rejected him once just now, so he did not believe that Xu Chen would reject him a second time.
He would not give Xu Chen this chance either.
Before Xu Chen could answer, he closed the bathroom door.
Xu Chen's expression was complicated, he didn't refuse, he just wanted to make it clear to Qi Ling that the relationship should not be so hasty.
The sound of water in the bathroom was filled with mist. Xu Chen stood at the door, looking vaguely at the person standing quietly inside, "Qi Ling, let's have a chat after you finish washing."
Qi Ling turned his head to look at the figure outside the door, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
He also wanted to make it clear to Xu Chen.
Tonight's kiss was just an accident, and he didn't want to continue the ambiguity. According to Xu Chen's usual attitude towards him, he was [-]% sure about what he wanted to talk about.
He wanted to make an appointment with Xu Chen.
I thought about it at first glance, after so many days of probing, I also came to a conclusion——
Xu Chen was clearly interested in him, just waiting for him to pierce the layer of paper.
The two were in the same room, and it was windy and rainy outside, creating a natural atmosphere, and he thought the timing was just right.
Xu Chen took Qi Ling's room card and got a change of clothes for others. When he went out, he ran into Xu Zhou and Chang Yongyi.
Xu Zhou asked in surprise, "Brother? Why did you come out of Ling Ling's room? How is he doing?"
There was a power outage before, and it was inconvenient for him to come to find someone, so he had to look after the power was restored, and happened to run into Chang Yongyi who wanted to apologize.
"Brother Xu, is Qi Ling okay? Did I really scare him?" Chang Yongyi asked sadly.
Xu Chen didn't reply to Xu Zhou's words, but looked at Chang Yongyi who was full of guilt, "He's recovered, he's fine."
Qi Ling clearly didn't blame Chang Yongyi, and he didn't need to add more details.
Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhou unexpectedly saw the clothes in Xu Chen's hands, which were obviously the ones he hadn't worn, "Brother, why are you holding Qi Ling's clothes? Is he in your room?"
Xu Chen took a set of clean clothes from Qi Ling's room and walked to his own room. Obviously, Qi Ling's clothes were dirty and he couldn't go out, or...
He didn't think about another possibility.
But Xu Chen directly helped him out, "He is taking a bath in my room, and I will be with him tonight."
He could see Qi Ling's attitude, obviously he didn't plan to go back tonight.
Xu Zhou blurted out, "No way!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too hasty, so he added, "This is too disturbing for you, Qi Ling is not that delicate."
Chang Yongyi was puzzled, "Xu Zhou, Xiao Lingzi was obviously frightened tonight, and he was scared in his heart, and he definitely didn't want to sleep alone. Isn't it a good time that Brother Xu is willing to help? no?"
Usually Xu Zhou dotes on Qi Ling the most, but now he's trying to stop him.
"Also, what does this have to do with coquettishness?"
Xu Zhou was silenced by Chang Yongyi, his face was sullen, but he refused to give in.
Xu Chen glanced at him indifferently, "Xu Zhou, even Xu Hanhai is here today, so he has no right to control me."
In other words, what are you.
Xu Zhou's face became more and more gloomy, and he wanted to say something, but he was dragged away by Chang Yongyi, who obviously sensed something was wrong, and he was still muttering: "Brother Xu, he has a convulsion, I will talk about him later, thank you for your help." Let's take care of Xiao Lingzi!"
Xu Zhou still wanted to struggle, but Chang Yongyi reprimanded him angrily: "Xu Zhou, that's your brother!"
These words made Xu Zhou wake up all of a sudden.
Xu Chen is his elder brother, and his seniority naturally overwhelms him. Even when he goes to the company later, he will have to look at Xu Chen's face.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, in the end, everything about Xu Chen will be his.
Xu Zhou threw off Chang Yongyi's shackles, glanced at Xu Chen's direction, turned and went downstairs without speaking again.
After Xu Chen was sure that the person had left, he entered the room, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Ling wiping his hair with his head tilted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window——
The other party was wearing his shirt, and the water from the tips of his hair dripped onto the shirt, blurring a dark stain, which was tightly attached to the inner skin, and the inner scenery could be glimpsed faintly.
The shirt could barely cover the thighs, and underneath were slender, straight legs, dazzling white.
The corner of Xu Chen's eyes twitched, he quickly closed the door without thinking.
Qi Ling was awakened by the slamming sound of the door closing, and when he saw Xu Chen, the corner of his mouth curled up: "You're back? I saw you weren't there after I finished washing, so I used your clothes to save the emergency."
Qi Ling looked at him looking away and not daring to look at him, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, Xu Chen's attitude indirectly proved his thoughts.
Xu Chen's thoughts towards him were not as pure as it appeared on the surface.
"Get dressed first." Xu Chen handed him the clothes he got.
Qi Ling didn't act like a monster anymore, obediently took the clothes that Xu Chen handed over, but it was just a pair of casual shorts.
Shirts, that's fun.
Xu Chen looked at the short sleeves left in his hand, and at the person in front of him who started to brush his hair on his own, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and said in a deep voice, "Qi Ling..."
But before he finished speaking, a towel was stuffed in his hand, "Wipe my hair for me."
After speaking, Qi Ling nestled on the sofa, with his back facing him, with a casual posture, as if asking him to wipe his hair was a normal thing.
There was just nothing he could do about it.
Qi Ling lay on the sofa, looking out of the window, there was fine rain on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whistling wind was all around his ears.
He listened for a while, thoughtfully, "Will it rain all the time tomorrow morning?"
Xu Chen was brushing his hair for someone, and he also took a look outside. It was so dark, "It seems that it will stop for a while."
Qi Ling nodded, "That's good."
The wind and rain should drown out other sounds.
Feeling that his hair was almost dry, Xu Chen let go of his hands and was about to sit up from the sofa, but was hugged by Qi Ling who suddenly turned around. The person in his arms had just finished a shower, and his body was still wet. As soon as he lowered his head, he could see Qi Ling's white and tender neck, which was glowing with the unique powder after taking a bath.
He was a little distracted when he was brushing his hair just now, and accidentally slipped his fingertips twice. At that time, Qi Ling shrank his neck, but he didn't expect that there were already two light red marks on it.
It's not deep, but it just arouses the dark desire in his heart.
Qi Ling seemed to get marks very easily, whether it was bumped or otherwise.
Further down, a corner of the oversized shirt bulged, and from this angle, he could even see the smooth back and the faint curve of the waist.
Alluring without knowing it.
Xu Chen closed his eyes, he shouldn't have allowed Qi Ling to wear his clothes.
He wanted to get up, but Qi Ling hugged him very hard, pressing him against a corner of the sofa, in a dilemma.
Qi Ling buried his head in his heart, listened to the sudden rapid heartbeat in his ears, looked up at Xu Chen who was in a panic and turned his head away, and smiled: "Your heartbeat is so fast."
Xu Chen could hear the smile in his tone, and without looking at him, his voice was a little hoarse: "Get up, I'll put the towel."
Unexpectedly, Qi Ling reached out and grabbed the towel in his hand, and threw it back casually, "Put it away."
Xu Chen looked at the towels on the ground and fell silent.
"Stop playing." Xu Chen's voice was inexplicably depressed, as if he was trying to hold back something, "Qi Ling, get up from me."
"No." Qi Ling smiled with crooked eyebrows, and even scratched his waist in a wicked way, "Aren't you going to hug me?"
He leaned close to Xu Chen's ear and said softly, "I just took a shower, so it's very comfortable to hug."
As soon as the words fell, he felt his waist being restrained by someone, and the other party turned over and pressed him over in an instant, and the two of them switched positions instantly.
Qi Ling only felt that he was being hugged very tightly, and the strength around his waist seemed to rub him into his bones, making him a little breathless. He should have felt uncomfortable, but in reality it was the opposite.
He could feel his body inexplicably excited, as if anticipating what was about to happen.
"Xu Chen, I'm really soft, do you want to try?"
He really waited for too long, from the first time he saw Xu Chen, he thought about it.
"Want to date me?"
As soon as the words fell, there was no next step as he expected.
The somewhat rapid breathing by the ear suddenly stagnated, and the hug he had originally exerted was loosened a little bit. Xu Chen propped his hands on the sofa, looking at Qi Ling whose eyes were red and silently yearning, he felt his stock go up. Emotions seem to have a broken corner, decaying rapidly like a balloon punctured by a needle, until they die.
about?
"You just, want to date me?"
Xu Chen only felt that his throat was extremely astringent.
In fact, he should have known earlier, Qi Ling did this every time, teasing him, looking at him full of desire/desire.
From the beginning to the end, there is only this purpose.
Qi Ling was a little taken aback, Xu Chen's voice was still hoarse, but it wasn't the kind he wanted.
He could hear the disbelief, the disappointment.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, "No? Xu Chen, why did you react like this? You are obviously interested in me."
Shouldn't Xu Chen readily agree?
Hearing this, Xu Chen didn't understand anything. He sat up, looked at his messy clothes, and didn't even think about tidying them up. Instead, he fixedly looked at Qi Ling, "The things you did before were all for you to test Me? It's the same as observing Xu Zhou."
The same intimacy, all account passwords are shared, the same clinginess, going in and out together every day, even if you go to the wrong classroom, Xu Zhou will pick it up, the same probing and observation, and will go further after confirming that the other party is tempted.
So, after Xu Zhou had a girlfriend, he found him.
"Have you tried all your tricks on approaching me now on Xu Zhou? He was coaxed by you just like me, so much so that he still misses you after he has a girlfriend."
A hint of sarcasm emerged from the corner of Xu Chen's mouth, "Qi Ling, what do you think of me?"
The feelings he treated with heart, in the end he only got the other party's [promise].
Because he never forgets Xu Zhou?It's ridiculous, really.
The blood on Qi Ling's face faded little by little, "No, I..."
He wanted to explain, but most of what Xu Chen said was true, and he couldn't refute it.
Xu Chen looked at him coldly, "Speak, I'll listen."
He gave Qi Ling a chance to explain.
Qi Ling pursed his lips a few times: "I want to make an appointment with you, which has nothing to do with Xu Zhou."
As early as after Xu Zhou made a girlfriend, he had lost his mind on people.
But Xu Chen only felt that the word [promise] was extremely harsh, he looked at Qi Ling's pale face, turned his eyes away, "Let me ask you another question, did you mean it when you said you liked me in Truth or Dare? "
Qi Ling nodded without hesitation, "Of course I'm serious. If I don't like you, I won't appear here, let alone say that kind of thing to you."
A hint of self-mockery flashed across Xu Chen's dark eyes, even though he knew in his heart that Qi Ling's liking was false, he still had some expectations that he shouldn't have, but at this moment Qi Ling's words completely shattered his thoughts.
When Qi Ling said he likes it, he just wanted to make an appointment with him.
If Xu Zhou didn't have a girlfriend, Qi Ling wouldn't have seen him at all.
Qi Ling didn't know what he said that completely offended Xu Chen, but seeing the other party's expression getting colder and colder, he stood up and looked down at him, his face returned to the indifference of the first meeting, "Qi Ling, I won't talk to you I will not be a stand-in."
Especially Xu Zhou's.
After the two chatted, Xu Chen didn't come back. The next day, after Yan Hao told him that the wind and rain subsided in the early morning, Xu Chen drove away.
Qi Ling lowered his eyes, clenched the hand hanging by his side, and raised his eyes again, but he couldn't see anything unusual, "Okay, I see."
After Qi Ling left, Yan Hao called Xu Chen, "Hey, did you have a conflict with that kid Qi Ling?"
"What's wrong with him?" Xu Chen's voice was very hoarse, and it was still full of exhaustion, which made Yan Hao frowned.
"I saw him just now. His eyes are redder than a rabbit's. I asked me about you. After I knew you were gone, I was really afraid that he would cry because of his appearance."
Yan Hao's experience is there, how can he not see Qi Ling's emotions, aggrieved and at a loss, after knowing that Xu Chen has left, he seems to have lost his backbone all of a sudden, and his whole body is visibly sluggish.
"Is there really a conflict? Isn't it fine during the day? And why did you leave suddenly?" Yan Hao was puzzled, Xu Chen's state was even worse, and he was extremely depressed.
After he asked, there was no response from the phone for a long time, making him think that the other party had hung up the phone. He took it off and took a look. He was still on the phone. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Chen said in a low voice,
"There's no need to stay there."
On the other side, Qi Ling returned to the room and stared blankly at Xu Chen's shirt and coat. After a long while, they were neatly folded and put into his schoolbag.
You have to find a time to pay him back.
Three days passed, and the social activities in the two dormitories were over. The few people saw that it was no longer raining, so they prepared to drive back to City A.
Qi Ling has been feeling a little nauseous all the time, he was sick, he didn't eat breakfast, and in his hand was a bottle of mineral water that Chang Yongyi forced for him.
But I don't want to drink either.
The whole person is in a state of anorexia.
The hand holding the water bottle tightened, is his symptom starting to recur again?
Before getting into the car, Gu Tingran suddenly stopped him.
Gu Tingran looked at Qi Ling's expression, she was not very good, she was a little bit hesitant to speak now, but after this separation, Qi Ling was going back to his hometown, so she couldn't find such a suitable time.
Li Sihan made a cheering gesture to her on the other side, and she took a breath, "Qi Ling, I have something to tell you."
Qi Ling absent-mindedly hummed, and his eyes fell on the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the entrance of the hotel. There was still the sofa inside, but there was no reassuring figure. It was no longer raining outside, the sky cleared up, and the sun shone through the clouds a little bit. It was sprinkled, but it couldn't dispel the haze in his heart.
Xu Chen rejected him.
No one will run all the way to find him when he is being followed, and no one will hug him and tell him not to be afraid when he is scared.
The traces belonging to Xu Chen in his life will only be washed away by time until they disappear completely.
Gu Tingran looked at Qi Ling who was distracted, and worried: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
The dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible, and she thought that Qi Ling hadn't recovered from being frightened last night.
Qi Ling pulled back his thoughts, looked at the girl in front of him, "It's okay, just tell me."
Gu Tingran bit her lip, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, "Well, I've liked you for a long time, can you be my boyfriend?"
Qi Ling was stunned, looked at the blushing girl in front of him, paused, "I'm sorry."
Gu Tingran heard his polite refusal, and his face turned pale. That night Qi Ling said that there was someone he liked, didn't he mean himself?
She suppressed her disappointment and smiled as much as possible: "It's okay."
But when she returned to her little sister, she still couldn't help hugging Li Sihan, the sadness in her heart could no longer be stopped, and she began to sob softly.
Li Sihan guessed what happened at a glance. "It's okay baby, don't cry."
Yu Chengcheng was stunned, if Qi Ling was not talking about Gu Tingran, who was it?
She looked at Xu Zhou who was checking out with the front desk of the hotel, and thought of a possibility, she felt like a bomb was dropped in her heart and exploded with a bang.
Could it be that Qi Ling likes Xu Zhou?
She had heard some rumors before, but she never took them seriously. Now that she thought of Xu Zhou's attitude and Qi Ling's truth that night, she felt that she was about to lose her standing.
Ye Yun was next to Chengcheng, and quickly noticed her strangeness, and naturally understood the heartbreak in her eyes, she couldn't help but swear,
"Qi Ling is too disgusting..."
So at that time, he was indirectly showing love to Xu Zhou?
She shouldn't be threatened by Xu Zhou, and deliberately avoided Qi Ling these few days, this kind of scum should go to hell!
Qi Ling didn't notice the strangeness between the two, but was immersed in Gu Tingran's words, boyfriend?
He muttered in his mouth: "I like...boyfriend..."
He felt as if he was about to grab something, just a little bit, but he was caught off guard, and his whole body was pushed.
Ye Yun's tone was sharp, "Why do you refuse Ranran! Don't you like her! Is it interesting to play with people?"
Qi Ling lost his balance, and his waist slammed against the guardrail behind him. He hissed, but before he stood up straight, Ye Yun was about to come over and continue to push him.
Chang Yongyi next to him saw that something was wrong, and immediately stood in front of Qi Ling, holding Ye Yun with his arms, "Hello? What's going on, why are you pushing Qi Ling!"
He was still chatting with Xie Kaiyu just now, when suddenly he heard a bang, Qi Ling was pushed and staggered, it seemed that he hit his waist.
Xie Kaiyu helped him up, and his face darkened, "Ye Yun, Qi Ling is easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean you can bully him."
As early as when he first came to the hotel, he heard that Ye Yun and Qi Ling were not getting along, but these days they have been living peacefully, and he thought the conflict was over.
Seeing this, Li Sihan followed and grabbed Ye Yun, "What's wrong with you?"
She apologized to several people: "She may be too uncomfortable looking after Gu Tingran, and she couldn't control her emotions for a while."
Gu Tingran was also frightened, with tears still on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly to Ye Yun."
They all thought that Qi Ling was the one who confessed to her that night.
Only Yu Chengcheng stood behind them without saying a word.
Qi Ling recovered from the pain, looked at Ye Yun with resentful eyes, and lost his usual gentleness on his face: "I don't care about Xu Zhou and Chang Yongyi's face like you, if you go crazy again, Don't blame me for being rude."
Ye Yun didn't take his threat seriously, "For their sake? If they didn't protect you, do you think you would be able to live so well? I don't even look at your small thoughts, it's disgusting died."
The word [disgusting] completely angered Qi Ling, his eyes turned cold, he unscrewed the cap of the mineral water in his hand, and splashed it on Ye Yun's face, "Have you calmed down now?"
Ye Yun was thoroughly drenched, and the makeup on her face was smeared, but she didn't realize it, and wiped her face angrily, pointing at Qi Ling with trembling hands, "You really dare!"
After she finished speaking, she was ready to fight Qi Ling, but Li Sihan and Gu Tingran stopped her, and Chang Yongyi and Xie Kaiyu stood firmly in front of Qi Ling, preventing Ye Yun from meeting Qi Ling.
At this time, Xu Zhou also finished the formalities and came out. Seeing the chaotic scene, he frowned, "What's going on?"
Chang Yongyi immediately complained, "Ye Yun pushed Qi Ling so hard that he hit the guardrail!"
Usually they couldn't bear to talk loudly to Qi Ling, but now they were being bullied right under their noses!
Xu Zhou glanced at Ye Yun, and looked at the smudged makeup on her face with disgust, "Ye Yun, have you forgotten how I warned you?"
Ye Yun pursed her lips with an angry expression, but she still didn't dare to say anything.
She can't afford to offend the Xu family.
Yu Chengcheng came forward and looked at Xu Zhou pleadingly: "Yunyun didn't do it on purpose, it's just that Qi Ling rejected Gu Tingran, she was in a hurry."
Xu Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Qi Ling with some unknown meaning, then turned his head and said to Yu Chengcheng in a low voice: "Whoever likes whoever is a person's freedom, this is not the reason for Ye Yun to do evil."
He walked up to Qi Ling, looked at Qi Ling with his hands on his waist, and asked in a low voice, "It hurts? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Qi Ling shook his head, "It's fine."
He threw the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can, and when his eyes fell on Ye Yun's face, there was a hint of sarcasm.
She usually wears the heaviest makeup on her face, and she has wiped it on her face several times without realizing it, causing her makeup to be a mess now, and her clothes are wet, like a clown.
Only then did Ye Yun realize something was wrong, and ran into the hotel with a scream covering her face.
In the end, Xu Zhou asked Ye Yun, who had not gone out for a long time, to take a taxi back by himself, and took the others back to City A.
Yu Chengcheng didn't say much.
After Qi Ling returned to his residence, he sorted out the things in the bag, washed the dirty clothes and hung them on the balcony.
He looked at the two clothes blowing in the wind, and his thoughts drifted away unknowingly.
When Gu Tingran confessed to him before, what was he thinking?In fact, he was a little confused about why Chen refused him.
Feel like a stand-in?He can explain this, but it's obviously not the main reason.
Before he could think clearly, the phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and the nausea in his chest became heavier.
He didn't answer.
But the phone rang one after another, like a note of death, as if if he didn't answer, the other party would keep calling.
Qi Ling pursed her lips, but raised her hand and pressed the answer button.
"Qi Ling! What did you say to Liu Yuyu when you were on a blind date? Why did she cry to her parents that you ganged up with others to bully her? No wonder I've been making things difficult for my boss recently. It's all because of you!"
His father Qi Changyong's tone was full of anger, and he yelled at Qi Ling without asking why: "Go and apologize to her quickly, and coax her well, you know! Can you understand something?"
Qi Ling let out a foul breath.
He could guess why Liu Yuyu complained to her family at this time, presumably because she was worried that her outrageous behavior in the coffee shop would be photographed and released, so she endured it for so long, now seeing the calm, she couldn't swallow this breath, and dared not When the trouble came to him, I went to complain to my parents, trying to put pressure on him.
"It was Liu Yuyu who poured coffee on me first, and I just fought back."
Qi Changyong didn't care about these things, "That's why you provoke other girls first, otherwise why would she hit you for no reason? Go and apologize to others, and then come back quickly, don't embarrass me."
Qi Ling pursed his lips into a straight line, "I'm not going home."
Qi Changyong sneered, "Qi Ling, you really have hard wings? You think you'll be rich as a tutor, right? I..."
Before he finished speaking, Yao Peilan interrupted, "Lingling, your father is confused. After all, he has been doing this job for decades, and he has feelings. It's a pity, isn't it?"
She didn't mind that Qi Ling didn't answer him, and said softly: "There are a lot of places where Yueyue spends money now. If your father suddenly loses his job, it will be difficult for the family. We don't want to put the burden on you who haven't graduated yet, so Can you be considerate of your parents and apologize for reconciliation with them? After all, it’s not good to tear your face apart.”
She didn't mention the reason why Qi Ling and Liu Yuyu had conflicts at all. She just analyzed the situation at home, and what she said was so sincere that Qi Ling was dumbfounded.
He never said shit.
But asking him to apologize to Liu Yuyu was impossible.
Qi Ling stubbornly did not speak, in order to protect his little self-esteem.
Yao Peilan frowned, noticing Qi Ling's silent resistance, "Then let's take a step back, so I'll help you buy a plane ticket with Yuyu, and see if you can resolve the conflict on the way. I still have a good impression of you, and you don't have to say an apology, I guess coaxing will be fine."
She didn't wait for Qi Ling to respond, she checked on the Internet, "The fastest plane ticket is three days later, I will buy it later and send you the itinerary."
"The children of other people's families are back, so should we, Lingling, hurry back too? Huh?"
The last whisper was very similar to his mother whispering in his ear after he was scared by ghosts when he was a child, warm and nostalgic.
But after hanging up the phone, he looked at the flight ticket information sent by Yao Peilan and Liu Yuyu's on WeChat.
[At that time, you can pick up the little girl and go to the airport together, be sensible. 】
The previous warmth disappeared in an instant, and the overwhelming nausea came up. He couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the bathroom to retch a few times, but because he didn't eat anything that day, he couldn't vomit.
Feeling the convulsion in his stomach, he slipped and fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, his whole body was haggard and fragile, but no one would come to comfort him, hug him...
The mobile phone in his hand rang again. He closed his eyes and opened it after making sure that he had calmed down a little. After seeing the news, he was a little stunned.
It turned out to be their counselor.
[Counselor: Qi Ling, Professor Jiang knows that you are interested in his last apprenticeship, and wants to chat with you. 】
Breeze Bar.
Yan Hao lost his temper when he saw the person who came to his bar again to drink away his sorrows, "Brother, at least you can talk to me so that I can analyze the situation for you, what's wrong with ruining my wine again now?" thing?"
Xu Chen lowered his head, still not saying a word.
Yan Hao can only rely on guessing: "I heard them say that you will send people to your room when the power goes out? Why, the night is not harmonious?"
Even if there is disharmony, Qi Ling should be dissatisfied!Why did Xu Chen lose his temper first?
Xu Chen put the wine glass on the table with a bang, looked up at Yan Hao with deep eyes: "Why are you saying these things so easily from your mouths?"
"You guys?" Yan Hao pondered for a while and realized, "Hey, what age is it now, sex is also a way to express liking, do you have to be so rigid?"
I really don't know how Xu Hanhai, who is so affectionate, can raise such a devoted son as Xu Chen.
Seeing that Yan Hao had already guessed most of it, Xu Chen didn't want to hide it anymore, besides, he was depressed and panicked.
After Yan Hao finished listening, he looked at Xu Chen like a fool, "Isn't that right? Just because Qi Ling wants to ask you out, you feel like you've been tricked? And you rejected him?"
He really wanted to knock open Xu Chen's head to see what was inside, "Think about it another way, sometimes dating is also a way of expressing liking, it's just different for different people, besides, Qi Ling seems to be the same as Has anyone else dated it?"
Don't look at Qi Ling who is obedient and lustful on the surface, but in fact he is a pure-hearted elementary school chick. He probably has never been in love, and he has not cleared his mind before being ruthlessly rejected by Xu Chen.
"His way seems to be a bit problematic in your eyes, but if you think about it another way, why does Qi Ling behave like this? His personality is actually a bit strange in the gay circle. Generally, everyone is quite open-minded, but Qi Ling is not. , if you didn’t take the initiative to mention it, I’m actually not sure if he is gay or not.”
He could see a little bit, but only when Qi Ling was treating Xu Chen. At other times, Qi Ling behaved too normally, as if he had long been used to concealing his sexuality.
Yan Hao's words reminded Xu Chen of the time when Qi Ling went on a blind date with that girl from his hometown. At that time, Qi Ling was terribly silent, and he didn't even notice that someone had poured hot coffee on him. He was immersed in his own world. Automatically isolate people around you.
He even saw a wave of self-loathing in Qi Ling, and it didn't get better until he came.
What is the origin of this girl, is it related to Qi Ling's family?
He thought it was the other party's privacy at the time, so he didn't ask.
Not only that, when Qi Ling was being followed last time, his panic and helplessness reaction was completely beyond the scope of normal people. What is the reason for this?
Looking at Xu Chen's pensive expression, Yan Hao knew he had hit the point, "You can't deny Qi Ling just because he wants to ask you out. It's not too late to draw a conclusion after knowing more about him."
"There is also the substitute you mentioned."
Yan Hao felt a little speechless when he said this, "Xu Chen, do you think that Qi Ling seems to have feelings for Xu Zhou now? As long as you are within sight, his eyes will not leave you, okay? Even if he was interested in Xu Zhou before. Thoughtful, that's also the past tense, don't you mind what a fart!"
"Could it be that Xu Zhou's identity made you subconsciously defend yourself? It's a trick for yourself?"
In fact, Xu Zhou robbed Xu Chen of a lot of things invisibly, and he knew it all.
But this is Xu Chen's restricted area, so he just needs to mention it, "Anyway, don't make wild guesses, and if it doesn't help, you should ask for clarification! Don't disappear suddenly like this and leave others alone."
Xu Chen raised his eyes and pursed his lips: "I didn't leave him alone."
At that time, he was just afraid that he might not be able to control his emotions, so he chose to calm down by himself.
Yan Hao hates iron for being weak, "Your behavior shows that you want to draw a line with others and leave the hotel without saying a word. If I were Qi Ling, I probably think that you will never care about yourself again in this life."
But when he said this, Xu Chen shook his head, "No."
He's done it already, but in a different way.
Seeing his certainty, Yan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you know it in your heart. In fact, I can see that Qi Ling is a bit fragile. Now you'd better find a way to deal with this matter, otherwise it will be very difficult."
Xu Chen glanced at the phone and hummed.
At the end of the day, Qi Ling didn't send him any messages, and the chat between the two of them still stopped at yesterday morning when Qi Ling asked him where he was. The previous daily interactions and cute little emojis were still on the current message interface, but it seemed like they were in the past. far away.
He couldn't find anything good to say, either.
Yan Hao looked at him and then looked at the phone in a daze, patted the table, "Xu Chen, I
Qi Ling raised his head and looked around. The curtains in Xu Chen's room were drawn, and he couldn't see his fingers. It was darker than the hall.
The rustling voice was still in his ears, he shook his head vigorously, "No."
Xu Chen was treated as a humanoid pillow, but he couldn't help it, "How about going to sit on the sofa for a while?"
As soon as the words fell, Qi Ling's body shook violently, and his whole body jumped onto him, wrapping his arms around his neck, "Don't go to the sofa!"
He didn't want to hear the scratching sound of the sofa behind him.
The sudden gravity made Xu Chen subconsciously put his arms around Qi Ling's waist, and he took a step back to stabilize his figure.
Only then did Qi Ling realize that both of his legs were hanging on Xu Chen's body. He was a little embarrassed at once. He loosened his strength and slid off Xu Chen's body, but his hands were still holding on to Xu Chen's clothes, "When the electricity recovers, I will alright."
Xu Chen hummed.
The two stood straight in the darkness like this, the atmosphere gradually changed, and the sound of wind and rain outside the window added a touch of charm to the relationship between the two.
Qi Ling pursed his lips, lowered his head and whispered, "Xu Chen, can I continue to hug you? I'm still a little scared."
Xu Chen couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, he could only feel the slight tightening of the hem and the cautious tone of the other party, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The distance between the two is already close enough, if it goes further...
But before he could open his mouth, a person nestled in his arms and hugged his waist skillfully, "If you don't tell me, I will take it as your acquiescence."
After speaking, she gently rubbed against his arms, finding a more comfortable position.
In the darkness, his senses were infinitely magnified, and the hands on his waist tightened little by little. Xu Chen could smell the faint fragrance of Qi Ling's body, like the smell of hotel shower gel, mixed with a touch of sweetness.
The wisps and strands are endless, making it impossible for people to hide.
Now Qi Ling posted almost his whole body.
Xu Chen's chin touched the top of the other's hair, and the soft hair made him feel a little itchy.
"Qi Ling, you..."
He just wanted to let him go, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Qi Ling looking up at him with a very soft tone: "Xu Chen, you smell so special."
I really want to smell more.
Qi Ling stood on tiptoe and approached, he could feel the other person's unsteady breathing, every breath, with a shocking heat.
There was a little light in the gaps in the curtains, and his eyes fell on Xu Chen's lips, which were very thin. He wondered what it would taste like to kiss?
Is it as cold as this person's surface, or as soft and hot as yourself?
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer, Qi Ling could hear his own heart beating like a drum, thump, thump, as if it was about to break through the barrier in his chest, and he seemed to be overflowing with emotion.
But just before the two lips touched, Xu Chen turned his head and kissed the other person's chin.
Qi Ling couldn't help but froze.
At this moment, the chandelier above the head made a sound, the power was restored, and the room was bright again.
Qi Ling let go of Xu Chen, took a step back, and pretended to be stimulated by the light so much that he covered his eyes with his hands, as if this way he would not be lost, and would not be seen in his distress.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward——
Xu Chen rejected his soliciting kiss.
Xu Chen was silent for a while, then said, "That's not what I meant.
He just felt it was too sudden.
Qi Ling pursed his lips, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, it was too dark at that time, I didn't even know what I was doing."
After he finished speaking, he took off his coat and walked into the bathroom, "I'll take a shower first, the room card is in the pocket of the coat, can you help me get it for a change of clothes?"
Xu Chen had promised before that he would not let him go alone, besides, Xu Chen had already rejected him once just now, so he did not believe that Xu Chen would reject him a second time.
He would not give Xu Chen this chance either.
Before Xu Chen could answer, he closed the bathroom door.
Xu Chen's expression was complicated, he didn't refuse, he just wanted to make it clear to Qi Ling that the relationship should not be so hasty.
The sound of water in the bathroom was filled with mist. Xu Chen stood at the door, looking vaguely at the person standing quietly inside, "Qi Ling, let's have a chat after you finish washing."
Qi Ling turned his head to look at the figure outside the door, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
He also wanted to make it clear to Xu Chen.
Tonight's kiss was just an accident, and he didn't want to continue the ambiguity. According to Xu Chen's usual attitude towards him, he was [-]% sure about what he wanted to talk about.
He wanted to make an appointment with Xu Chen.
I thought about it at first glance, after so many days of probing, I also came to a conclusion——
Xu Chen was clearly interested in him, just waiting for him to pierce the layer of paper.
The two were in the same room, and it was windy and rainy outside, creating a natural atmosphere, and he thought the timing was just right.
Xu Chen took Qi Ling's room card and got a change of clothes for others. When he went out, he ran into Xu Zhou and Chang Yongyi.
Xu Zhou asked in surprise, "Brother? Why did you come out of Ling Ling's room? How is he doing?"
There was a power outage before, and it was inconvenient for him to come to find someone, so he had to look after the power was restored, and happened to run into Chang Yongyi who wanted to apologize.
"Brother Xu, is Qi Ling okay? Did I really scare him?" Chang Yongyi asked sadly.
Xu Chen didn't reply to Xu Zhou's words, but looked at Chang Yongyi who was full of guilt, "He's recovered, he's fine."
Qi Ling clearly didn't blame Chang Yongyi, and he didn't need to add more details.
Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhou unexpectedly saw the clothes in Xu Chen's hands, which were obviously the ones he hadn't worn, "Brother, why are you holding Qi Ling's clothes? Is he in your room?"
Xu Chen took a set of clean clothes from Qi Ling's room and walked to his own room. Obviously, Qi Ling's clothes were dirty and he couldn't go out, or...
He didn't think about another possibility.
But Xu Chen directly helped him out, "He is taking a bath in my room, and I will be with him tonight."
He could see Qi Ling's attitude, obviously he didn't plan to go back tonight.
Xu Zhou blurted out, "No way!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too hasty, so he added, "This is too disturbing for you, Qi Ling is not that delicate."
Chang Yongyi was puzzled, "Xu Zhou, Xiao Lingzi was obviously frightened tonight, and he was scared in his heart, and he definitely didn't want to sleep alone. Isn't it a good time that Brother Xu is willing to help? no?"
Usually Xu Zhou dotes on Qi Ling the most, but now he's trying to stop him.
"Also, what does this have to do with coquettishness?"
Xu Zhou was silenced by Chang Yongyi, his face was sullen, but he refused to give in.
Xu Chen glanced at him indifferently, "Xu Zhou, even Xu Hanhai is here today, so he has no right to control me."
In other words, what are you.
Xu Zhou's face became more and more gloomy, and he wanted to say something, but he was dragged away by Chang Yongyi, who obviously sensed something was wrong, and he was still muttering: "Brother Xu, he has a convulsion, I will talk about him later, thank you for your help." Let's take care of Xiao Lingzi!"
Xu Zhou still wanted to struggle, but Chang Yongyi reprimanded him angrily: "Xu Zhou, that's your brother!"
These words made Xu Zhou wake up all of a sudden.
Xu Chen is his elder brother, and his seniority naturally overwhelms him. Even when he goes to the company later, he will have to look at Xu Chen's face.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, in the end, everything about Xu Chen will be his.
Xu Zhou threw off Chang Yongyi's shackles, glanced at Xu Chen's direction, turned and went downstairs without speaking again.
After Xu Chen was sure that the person had left, he entered the room, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Ling wiping his hair with his head tilted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window——
The other party was wearing his shirt, and the water from the tips of his hair dripped onto the shirt, blurring a dark stain, which was tightly attached to the inner skin, and the inner scenery could be glimpsed faintly.
The shirt could barely cover the thighs, and underneath were slender, straight legs, dazzling white.
The corner of Xu Chen's eyes twitched, he quickly closed the door without thinking.
Qi Ling was awakened by the slamming sound of the door closing, and when he saw Xu Chen, the corner of his mouth curled up: "You're back? I saw you weren't there after I finished washing, so I used your clothes to save the emergency."
Qi Ling looked at him looking away and not daring to look at him, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, Xu Chen's attitude indirectly proved his thoughts.
Xu Chen's thoughts towards him were not as pure as it appeared on the surface.
"Get dressed first." Xu Chen handed him the clothes he got.
Qi Ling didn't act like a monster anymore, obediently took the clothes that Xu Chen handed over, but it was just a pair of casual shorts.
Shirts, that's fun.
Xu Chen looked at the short sleeves left in his hand, and at the person in front of him who started to brush his hair on his own, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and said in a deep voice, "Qi Ling..."
But before he finished speaking, a towel was stuffed in his hand, "Wipe my hair for me."
After speaking, Qi Ling nestled on the sofa, with his back facing him, with a casual posture, as if asking him to wipe his hair was a normal thing.
There was just nothing he could do about it.
Qi Ling lay on the sofa, looking out of the window, there was fine rain on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whistling wind was all around his ears.
He listened for a while, thoughtfully, "Will it rain all the time tomorrow morning?"
Xu Chen was brushing his hair for someone, and he also took a look outside. It was so dark, "It seems that it will stop for a while."
Qi Ling nodded, "That's good."
The wind and rain should drown out other sounds.
Feeling that his hair was almost dry, Xu Chen let go of his hands and was about to sit up from the sofa, but was hugged by Qi Ling who suddenly turned around. The person in his arms had just finished a shower, and his body was still wet. As soon as he lowered his head, he could see Qi Ling's white and tender neck, which was glowing with the unique powder after taking a bath.
He was a little distracted when he was brushing his hair just now, and accidentally slipped his fingertips twice. At that time, Qi Ling shrank his neck, but he didn't expect that there were already two light red marks on it.
It's not deep, but it just arouses the dark desire in his heart.
Qi Ling seemed to get marks very easily, whether it was bumped or otherwise.
Further down, a corner of the oversized shirt bulged, and from this angle, he could even see the smooth back and the faint curve of the waist.
Alluring without knowing it.
Xu Chen closed his eyes, he shouldn't have allowed Qi Ling to wear his clothes.
He wanted to get up, but Qi Ling hugged him very hard, pressing him against a corner of the sofa, in a dilemma.
Qi Ling buried his head in his heart, listened to the sudden rapid heartbeat in his ears, looked up at Xu Chen who was in a panic and turned his head away, and smiled: "Your heartbeat is so fast."
Xu Chen could hear the smile in his tone, and without looking at him, his voice was a little hoarse: "Get up, I'll put the towel."
Unexpectedly, Qi Ling reached out and grabbed the towel in his hand, and threw it back casually, "Put it away."
Xu Chen looked at the towels on the ground and fell silent.
"Stop playing." Xu Chen's voice was inexplicably depressed, as if he was trying to hold back something, "Qi Ling, get up from me."
"No." Qi Ling smiled with crooked eyebrows, and even scratched his waist in a wicked way, "Aren't you going to hug me?"
He leaned close to Xu Chen's ear and said softly, "I just took a shower, so it's very comfortable to hug."
As soon as the words fell, he felt his waist being restrained by someone, and the other party turned over and pressed him over in an instant, and the two of them switched positions instantly.
Qi Ling only felt that he was being hugged very tightly, and the strength around his waist seemed to rub him into his bones, making him a little breathless. He should have felt uncomfortable, but in reality it was the opposite.
He could feel his body inexplicably excited, as if anticipating what was about to happen.
"Xu Chen, I'm really soft, do you want to try?"
He really waited for too long, from the first time he saw Xu Chen, he thought about it.
"Want to date me?"
As soon as the words fell, there was no next step as he expected.
The somewhat rapid breathing by the ear suddenly stagnated, and the hug he had originally exerted was loosened a little bit. Xu Chen propped his hands on the sofa, looking at Qi Ling whose eyes were red and silently yearning, he felt his stock go up. Emotions seem to have a broken corner, decaying rapidly like a balloon punctured by a needle, until they die.
about?
"You just, want to date me?"
Xu Chen only felt that his throat was extremely astringent.
In fact, he should have known earlier, Qi Ling did this every time, teasing him, looking at him full of desire/desire.
From the beginning to the end, there is only this purpose.
Qi Ling was a little taken aback, Xu Chen's voice was still hoarse, but it wasn't the kind he wanted.
He could hear the disbelief, the disappointment.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, "No? Xu Chen, why did you react like this? You are obviously interested in me."
Shouldn't Xu Chen readily agree?
Hearing this, Xu Chen didn't understand anything. He sat up, looked at his messy clothes, and didn't even think about tidying them up. Instead, he fixedly looked at Qi Ling, "The things you did before were all for you to test Me? It's the same as observing Xu Zhou."
The same intimacy, all account passwords are shared, the same clinginess, going in and out together every day, even if you go to the wrong classroom, Xu Zhou will pick it up, the same probing and observation, and will go further after confirming that the other party is tempted.
So, after Xu Zhou had a girlfriend, he found him.
"Have you tried all your tricks on approaching me now on Xu Zhou? He was coaxed by you just like me, so much so that he still misses you after he has a girlfriend."
A hint of sarcasm emerged from the corner of Xu Chen's mouth, "Qi Ling, what do you think of me?"
The feelings he treated with heart, in the end he only got the other party's [promise].
Because he never forgets Xu Zhou?It's ridiculous, really.
The blood on Qi Ling's face faded little by little, "No, I..."
He wanted to explain, but most of what Xu Chen said was true, and he couldn't refute it.
Xu Chen looked at him coldly, "Speak, I'll listen."
He gave Qi Ling a chance to explain.
Qi Ling pursed his lips a few times: "I want to make an appointment with you, which has nothing to do with Xu Zhou."
As early as after Xu Zhou made a girlfriend, he had lost his mind on people.
But Xu Chen only felt that the word [promise] was extremely harsh, he looked at Qi Ling's pale face, turned his eyes away, "Let me ask you another question, did you mean it when you said you liked me in Truth or Dare? "
Qi Ling nodded without hesitation, "Of course I'm serious. If I don't like you, I won't appear here, let alone say that kind of thing to you."
A hint of self-mockery flashed across Xu Chen's dark eyes, even though he knew in his heart that Qi Ling's liking was false, he still had some expectations that he shouldn't have, but at this moment Qi Ling's words completely shattered his thoughts.
When Qi Ling said he likes it, he just wanted to make an appointment with him.
If Xu Zhou didn't have a girlfriend, Qi Ling wouldn't have seen him at all.
Qi Ling didn't know what he said that completely offended Xu Chen, but seeing the other party's expression getting colder and colder, he stood up and looked down at him, his face returned to the indifference of the first meeting, "Qi Ling, I won't talk to you I will not be a stand-in."
Especially Xu Zhou's.
After the two chatted, Xu Chen didn't come back. The next day, after Yan Hao told him that the wind and rain subsided in the early morning, Xu Chen drove away.
Qi Ling lowered his eyes, clenched the hand hanging by his side, and raised his eyes again, but he couldn't see anything unusual, "Okay, I see."
After Qi Ling left, Yan Hao called Xu Chen, "Hey, did you have a conflict with that kid Qi Ling?"
"What's wrong with him?" Xu Chen's voice was very hoarse, and it was still full of exhaustion, which made Yan Hao frowned.
"I saw him just now. His eyes are redder than a rabbit's. I asked me about you. After I knew you were gone, I was really afraid that he would cry because of his appearance."
Yan Hao's experience is there, how can he not see Qi Ling's emotions, aggrieved and at a loss, after knowing that Xu Chen has left, he seems to have lost his backbone all of a sudden, and his whole body is visibly sluggish.
"Is there really a conflict? Isn't it fine during the day? And why did you leave suddenly?" Yan Hao was puzzled, Xu Chen's state was even worse, and he was extremely depressed.
After he asked, there was no response from the phone for a long time, making him think that the other party had hung up the phone. He took it off and took a look. He was still on the phone. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Chen said in a low voice,
"There's no need to stay there."
On the other side, Qi Ling returned to the room and stared blankly at Xu Chen's shirt and coat. After a long while, they were neatly folded and put into his schoolbag.
You have to find a time to pay him back.
Three days passed, and the social activities in the two dormitories were over. The few people saw that it was no longer raining, so they prepared to drive back to City A.
Qi Ling has been feeling a little nauseous all the time, he was sick, he didn't eat breakfast, and in his hand was a bottle of mineral water that Chang Yongyi forced for him.
But I don't want to drink either.
The whole person is in a state of anorexia.
The hand holding the water bottle tightened, is his symptom starting to recur again?
Before getting into the car, Gu Tingran suddenly stopped him.
Gu Tingran looked at Qi Ling's expression, she was not very good, she was a little bit hesitant to speak now, but after this separation, Qi Ling was going back to his hometown, so she couldn't find such a suitable time.
Li Sihan made a cheering gesture to her on the other side, and she took a breath, "Qi Ling, I have something to tell you."
Qi Ling absent-mindedly hummed, and his eyes fell on the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the entrance of the hotel. There was still the sofa inside, but there was no reassuring figure. It was no longer raining outside, the sky cleared up, and the sun shone through the clouds a little bit. It was sprinkled, but it couldn't dispel the haze in his heart.
Xu Chen rejected him.
No one will run all the way to find him when he is being followed, and no one will hug him and tell him not to be afraid when he is scared.
The traces belonging to Xu Chen in his life will only be washed away by time until they disappear completely.
Gu Tingran looked at Qi Ling who was distracted, and worried: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
The dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible, and she thought that Qi Ling hadn't recovered from being frightened last night.
Qi Ling pulled back his thoughts, looked at the girl in front of him, "It's okay, just tell me."
Gu Tingran bit her lip, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, "Well, I've liked you for a long time, can you be my boyfriend?"
Qi Ling was stunned, looked at the blushing girl in front of him, paused, "I'm sorry."
Gu Tingran heard his polite refusal, and his face turned pale. That night Qi Ling said that there was someone he liked, didn't he mean himself?
She suppressed her disappointment and smiled as much as possible: "It's okay."
But when she returned to her little sister, she still couldn't help hugging Li Sihan, the sadness in her heart could no longer be stopped, and she began to sob softly.
Li Sihan guessed what happened at a glance. "It's okay baby, don't cry."
Yu Chengcheng was stunned, if Qi Ling was not talking about Gu Tingran, who was it?
She looked at Xu Zhou who was checking out with the front desk of the hotel, and thought of a possibility, she felt like a bomb was dropped in her heart and exploded with a bang.
Could it be that Qi Ling likes Xu Zhou?
She had heard some rumors before, but she never took them seriously. Now that she thought of Xu Zhou's attitude and Qi Ling's truth that night, she felt that she was about to lose her standing.
Ye Yun was next to Chengcheng, and quickly noticed her strangeness, and naturally understood the heartbreak in her eyes, she couldn't help but swear,
"Qi Ling is too disgusting..."
So at that time, he was indirectly showing love to Xu Zhou?
She shouldn't be threatened by Xu Zhou, and deliberately avoided Qi Ling these few days, this kind of scum should go to hell!
Qi Ling didn't notice the strangeness between the two, but was immersed in Gu Tingran's words, boyfriend?
He muttered in his mouth: "I like...boyfriend..."
He felt as if he was about to grab something, just a little bit, but he was caught off guard, and his whole body was pushed.
Ye Yun's tone was sharp, "Why do you refuse Ranran! Don't you like her! Is it interesting to play with people?"
Qi Ling lost his balance, and his waist slammed against the guardrail behind him. He hissed, but before he stood up straight, Ye Yun was about to come over and continue to push him.
Chang Yongyi next to him saw that something was wrong, and immediately stood in front of Qi Ling, holding Ye Yun with his arms, "Hello? What's going on, why are you pushing Qi Ling!"
He was still chatting with Xie Kaiyu just now, when suddenly he heard a bang, Qi Ling was pushed and staggered, it seemed that he hit his waist.
Xie Kaiyu helped him up, and his face darkened, "Ye Yun, Qi Ling is easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean you can bully him."
As early as when he first came to the hotel, he heard that Ye Yun and Qi Ling were not getting along, but these days they have been living peacefully, and he thought the conflict was over.
Seeing this, Li Sihan followed and grabbed Ye Yun, "What's wrong with you?"
She apologized to several people: "She may be too uncomfortable looking after Gu Tingran, and she couldn't control her emotions for a while."
Gu Tingran was also frightened, with tears still on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly to Ye Yun."
They all thought that Qi Ling was the one who confessed to her that night.
Only Yu Chengcheng stood behind them without saying a word.
Qi Ling recovered from the pain, looked at Ye Yun with resentful eyes, and lost his usual gentleness on his face: "I don't care about Xu Zhou and Chang Yongyi's face like you, if you go crazy again, Don't blame me for being rude."
Ye Yun didn't take his threat seriously, "For their sake? If they didn't protect you, do you think you would be able to live so well? I don't even look at your small thoughts, it's disgusting died."
The word [disgusting] completely angered Qi Ling, his eyes turned cold, he unscrewed the cap of the mineral water in his hand, and splashed it on Ye Yun's face, "Have you calmed down now?"
Ye Yun was thoroughly drenched, and the makeup on her face was smeared, but she didn't realize it, and wiped her face angrily, pointing at Qi Ling with trembling hands, "You really dare!"
After she finished speaking, she was ready to fight Qi Ling, but Li Sihan and Gu Tingran stopped her, and Chang Yongyi and Xie Kaiyu stood firmly in front of Qi Ling, preventing Ye Yun from meeting Qi Ling.
At this time, Xu Zhou also finished the formalities and came out. Seeing the chaotic scene, he frowned, "What's going on?"
Chang Yongyi immediately complained, "Ye Yun pushed Qi Ling so hard that he hit the guardrail!"
Usually they couldn't bear to talk loudly to Qi Ling, but now they were being bullied right under their noses!
Xu Zhou glanced at Ye Yun, and looked at the smudged makeup on her face with disgust, "Ye Yun, have you forgotten how I warned you?"
Ye Yun pursed her lips with an angry expression, but she still didn't dare to say anything.
She can't afford to offend the Xu family.
Yu Chengcheng came forward and looked at Xu Zhou pleadingly: "Yunyun didn't do it on purpose, it's just that Qi Ling rejected Gu Tingran, she was in a hurry."
Xu Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Qi Ling with some unknown meaning, then turned his head and said to Yu Chengcheng in a low voice: "Whoever likes whoever is a person's freedom, this is not the reason for Ye Yun to do evil."
He walked up to Qi Ling, looked at Qi Ling with his hands on his waist, and asked in a low voice, "It hurts? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Qi Ling shook his head, "It's fine."
He threw the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can, and when his eyes fell on Ye Yun's face, there was a hint of sarcasm.
She usually wears the heaviest makeup on her face, and she has wiped it on her face several times without realizing it, causing her makeup to be a mess now, and her clothes are wet, like a clown.
Only then did Ye Yun realize something was wrong, and ran into the hotel with a scream covering her face.
In the end, Xu Zhou asked Ye Yun, who had not gone out for a long time, to take a taxi back by himself, and took the others back to City A.
Yu Chengcheng didn't say much.
After Qi Ling returned to his residence, he sorted out the things in the bag, washed the dirty clothes and hung them on the balcony.
He looked at the two clothes blowing in the wind, and his thoughts drifted away unknowingly.
When Gu Tingran confessed to him before, what was he thinking?In fact, he was a little confused about why Chen refused him.
Feel like a stand-in?He can explain this, but it's obviously not the main reason.
Before he could think clearly, the phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and the nausea in his chest became heavier.
He didn't answer.
But the phone rang one after another, like a note of death, as if if he didn't answer, the other party would keep calling.
Qi Ling pursed her lips, but raised her hand and pressed the answer button.
"Qi Ling! What did you say to Liu Yuyu when you were on a blind date? Why did she cry to her parents that you ganged up with others to bully her? No wonder I've been making things difficult for my boss recently. It's all because of you!"
His father Qi Changyong's tone was full of anger, and he yelled at Qi Ling without asking why: "Go and apologize to her quickly, and coax her well, you know! Can you understand something?"
Qi Ling let out a foul breath.
He could guess why Liu Yuyu complained to her family at this time, presumably because she was worried that her outrageous behavior in the coffee shop would be photographed and released, so she endured it for so long, now seeing the calm, she couldn't swallow this breath, and dared not When the trouble came to him, I went to complain to my parents, trying to put pressure on him.
"It was Liu Yuyu who poured coffee on me first, and I just fought back."
Qi Changyong didn't care about these things, "That's why you provoke other girls first, otherwise why would she hit you for no reason? Go and apologize to others, and then come back quickly, don't embarrass me."
Qi Ling pursed his lips into a straight line, "I'm not going home."
Qi Changyong sneered, "Qi Ling, you really have hard wings? You think you'll be rich as a tutor, right? I..."
Before he finished speaking, Yao Peilan interrupted, "Lingling, your father is confused. After all, he has been doing this job for decades, and he has feelings. It's a pity, isn't it?"
She didn't mind that Qi Ling didn't answer him, and said softly: "There are a lot of places where Yueyue spends money now. If your father suddenly loses his job, it will be difficult for the family. We don't want to put the burden on you who haven't graduated yet, so Can you be considerate of your parents and apologize for reconciliation with them? After all, it’s not good to tear your face apart.”
She didn't mention the reason why Qi Ling and Liu Yuyu had conflicts at all. She just analyzed the situation at home, and what she said was so sincere that Qi Ling was dumbfounded.
He never said shit.
But asking him to apologize to Liu Yuyu was impossible.
Qi Ling stubbornly did not speak, in order to protect his little self-esteem.
Yao Peilan frowned, noticing Qi Ling's silent resistance, "Then let's take a step back, so I'll help you buy a plane ticket with Yuyu, and see if you can resolve the conflict on the way. I still have a good impression of you, and you don't have to say an apology, I guess coaxing will be fine."
She didn't wait for Qi Ling to respond, she checked on the Internet, "The fastest plane ticket is three days later, I will buy it later and send you the itinerary."
"The children of other people's families are back, so should we, Lingling, hurry back too? Huh?"
The last whisper was very similar to his mother whispering in his ear after he was scared by ghosts when he was a child, warm and nostalgic.
But after hanging up the phone, he looked at the flight ticket information sent by Yao Peilan and Liu Yuyu's on WeChat.
[At that time, you can pick up the little girl and go to the airport together, be sensible. 】
The previous warmth disappeared in an instant, and the overwhelming nausea came up. He couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the bathroom to retch a few times, but because he didn't eat anything that day, he couldn't vomit.
Feeling the convulsion in his stomach, he slipped and fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, his whole body was haggard and fragile, but no one would come to comfort him, hug him...
The mobile phone in his hand rang again. He closed his eyes and opened it after making sure that he had calmed down a little. After seeing the news, he was a little stunned.
It turned out to be their counselor.
[Counselor: Qi Ling, Professor Jiang knows that you are interested in his last apprenticeship, and wants to chat with you. 】
Breeze Bar.
Yan Hao lost his temper when he saw the person who came to his bar again to drink away his sorrows, "Brother, at least you can talk to me so that I can analyze the situation for you, what's wrong with ruining my wine again now?" thing?"
Xu Chen lowered his head, still not saying a word.
Yan Hao can only rely on guessing: "I heard them say that you will send people to your room when the power goes out? Why, the night is not harmonious?"
Even if there is disharmony, Qi Ling should be dissatisfied!Why did Xu Chen lose his temper first?
Xu Chen put the wine glass on the table with a bang, looked up at Yan Hao with deep eyes: "Why are you saying these things so easily from your mouths?"
"You guys?" Yan Hao pondered for a while and realized, "Hey, what age is it now, sex is also a way to express liking, do you have to be so rigid?"
I really don't know how Xu Hanhai, who is so affectionate, can raise such a devoted son as Xu Chen.
Seeing that Yan Hao had already guessed most of it, Xu Chen didn't want to hide it anymore, besides, he was depressed and panicked.
After Yan Hao finished listening, he looked at Xu Chen like a fool, "Isn't that right? Just because Qi Ling wants to ask you out, you feel like you've been tricked? And you rejected him?"
He really wanted to knock open Xu Chen's head to see what was inside, "Think about it another way, sometimes dating is also a way of expressing liking, it's just different for different people, besides, Qi Ling seems to be the same as Has anyone else dated it?"
Don't look at Qi Ling who is obedient and lustful on the surface, but in fact he is a pure-hearted elementary school chick. He probably has never been in love, and he has not cleared his mind before being ruthlessly rejected by Xu Chen.
"His way seems to be a bit problematic in your eyes, but if you think about it another way, why does Qi Ling behave like this? His personality is actually a bit strange in the gay circle. Generally, everyone is quite open-minded, but Qi Ling is not. , if you didn’t take the initiative to mention it, I’m actually not sure if he is gay or not.”
He could see a little bit, but only when Qi Ling was treating Xu Chen. At other times, Qi Ling behaved too normally, as if he had long been used to concealing his sexuality.
Yan Hao's words reminded Xu Chen of the time when Qi Ling went on a blind date with that girl from his hometown. At that time, Qi Ling was terribly silent, and he didn't even notice that someone had poured hot coffee on him. He was immersed in his own world. Automatically isolate people around you.
He even saw a wave of self-loathing in Qi Ling, and it didn't get better until he came.
What is the origin of this girl, is it related to Qi Ling's family?
He thought it was the other party's privacy at the time, so he didn't ask.
Not only that, when Qi Ling was being followed last time, his panic and helplessness reaction was completely beyond the scope of normal people. What is the reason for this?
Looking at Xu Chen's pensive expression, Yan Hao knew he had hit the point, "You can't deny Qi Ling just because he wants to ask you out. It's not too late to draw a conclusion after knowing more about him."
"There is also the substitute you mentioned."
Yan Hao felt a little speechless when he said this, "Xu Chen, do you think that Qi Ling seems to have feelings for Xu Zhou now? As long as you are within sight, his eyes will not leave you, okay? Even if he was interested in Xu Zhou before. Thoughtful, that's also the past tense, don't you mind what a fart!"
"Could it be that Xu Zhou's identity made you subconsciously defend yourself? It's a trick for yourself?"
In fact, Xu Zhou robbed Xu Chen of a lot of things invisibly, and he knew it all.
But this is Xu Chen's restricted area, so he just needs to mention it, "Anyway, don't make wild guesses, and if it doesn't help, you should ask for clarification! Don't disappear suddenly like this and leave others alone."
Xu Chen raised his eyes and pursed his lips: "I didn't leave him alone."
At that time, he was just afraid that he might not be able to control his emotions, so he chose to calm down by himself.
Yan Hao hates iron for being weak, "Your behavior shows that you want to draw a line with others and leave the hotel without saying a word. If I were Qi Ling, I probably think that you will never care about yourself again in this life."
But when he said this, Xu Chen shook his head, "No."
He's done it already, but in a different way.
Seeing his certainty, Yan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you know it in your heart. In fact, I can see that Qi Ling is a bit fragile. Now you'd better find a way to deal with this matter, otherwise it will be very difficult."
Xu Chen glanced at the phone and hummed.
At the end of the day, Qi Ling didn't send him any messages, and the chat between the two of them still stopped at yesterday morning when Qi Ling asked him where he was. The previous daily interactions and cute little emojis were still on the current message interface, but it seemed like they were in the past. far away.
He couldn't find anything good to say, either.
Yan Hao looked at him and then looked at the phone in a daze, patted the table, "Xu Chen, I
