He said I was soft and nice

Looking at the lost doll in his arms, Qi Ling suddenly felt that this doll was nothing like before. He liked this doll the most, and this time, he would never lose it again.

He thought for a while, raised his head, and looked at Xu Chen fixedly, "I want to take you to a place."

He wanted to share his past with Xu Chen.

But Xu Chen's footsteps stopped unconsciously. Looking at the lonely and desolate place in front of him, he felt his heart sinking——

Qi Ling took him to Xingshan Cemetery.

Qi Ling noticed his halting footsteps, turned around suspiciously, saw that Xu Chen's expression was not very good, thought that he was afraid of this kind of place, took advantage of the small number of people in the cemetery and the doll's cover, and hooked Xu Chen's hand sideways, " It's okay, this is an ordinary cemetery, there are no ghosts, I have been here many times."

Whenever he couldn't bear the scolding of his parents, he would run out, but he was easily found every time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and hid in the cemetery.

"My parents never imagined that I would hide here and no one would be able to find me."

Qi Ling said to himself, and felt wrong after finishing speaking, "No, I was found twice."

Every time he is on the verge of despair, think about it, he is still very lucky.

Qi Ling held Xu Chen's hand tightly, warmed the other's cold hand little by little, and muttered, "It's not cold today, is it?"

Xu Chen felt the strength between his hands, looked down at Qi Ling's clean and delicate face, and the doll between the two of them, feeling familiar, "Twice? When was the first time?"

Qi Ling pulled the person and walked in, thinking about it for a while, "The first time was when I was a freshman in high school! The second time is you."

Fortunately, he didn't go into the cemetery last time, he just found a corner to hide, otherwise it would be more difficult for Xu Chen to find him.

"When I was in the first year of high school, I met a big brother. I had been hiding in the cemetery for a day, and I was sleepy and hungry. He seemed to be a relative who had just passed away. He saw me after the worship and took me away. Let's go, and treat me to a meal."

"At that time, I just came out with my parents, and their attitude made me fall into self-doubt, but no one around me dared to approach me, only him." Qi Ling's voice unconsciously softened, but when he thought of something, he came back. She bent her lips, "Fortunately, I met him and asked him some questions. It was his answers that kept me going until now."

Until he met Xu Chen again.

He couldn't help rubbing Xu Chen's palm with his fingers, "Actually, it's a coincidence that what he invited me to eat was also KFC, probably because he wanted to coax the children."

Qi Ling looked up at Xu Chen and smiled, "I don't know if you remember, but the first time we ate was at KFC."

The time he was with Xu Chen was because Xu Chen's arm was scratched when he was in the bar. He wanted to find a quieter place to help people disinfect, so he saw KFC. There were obviously a lot of empty places next to him, but he It was a strange coincidence that brought Xu Chen there.

Seeing Qi Ling's gentle smile, Xu Chen stretched out his hand to smooth the hair on his cheeks behind his ears, "Well, I remember."

At that time, Qi Ling was thin and small, with long hair that almost covered his eyes, and his whole person was gloomy and terrifying, but he didn't expect that he just asked [Do you want to eat? ], the other party followed him obediently.

Qi Ling kept his head down most of the time at that time, so he didn't have a deep impression of Qi Ling's face, coupled with the changes in temperament and stature, so that when they met again, he didn't even recognize that this was the child from back then .

Qi Ling didn't notice the complicated emotions in Xu Chen's eyes, so he said to himself: "He is the first person to admit my sexuality, and his temperament is gentle and clean. This is probably the reason why I am willing to go with him. After that, he also agreed to the first person to admit my sexuality." He came to look for me two days later, but he never showed up again."

During that time, he ran here almost every day, but each time he returned disappointed. Gradually, he also understood that it was just a casual promise from the other party.

Xu Chen wanted to explain that he was sent out of the country before he had time to say goodbye to anyone, and he didn't break the appointment on purpose.

But he couldn't open his mouth. He was no longer what Qi Ling remembered. Even if his mother was strict with him before, he was still a sheltered child, but now he has been alone for so many years. It changed, Qi Ling didn't know how many things he did against his will in private.

He was no longer the clean and gentle person in Qi Ling's eyes.

My mother's dying words are still in my ears, "You want to take the company back."

"No one will wait for you where you are, you have to run forward and keep running, you know?"

He was burdened with too many things, so he could only move forward, leaving that child behind.

Xu Chen looked at the person next to him who was holding his hand softly, and didn't choose to explain.

It was he who broke the appointment, and it was also he who completely forgot about Qi Ling. Instead of adding to the unhappiness, it would be better to let that person live in Qi Ling's memory.

Accompanying Qi Ling is the current him.

Qi Ling didn't notice Xu Chen's complicated emotions, so he let out a small breath and smiled nonchalantly: "But it's all over, and I don't blame him."

At that time, he should have had some unknown feelings for that person, but these were gradually worn away after repeated waiting and failures, and now he just feels a little regretful that he didn't say thank you to the person in person.

He feels better now that he has spoken out.

The two walked to a tombstone. Qi Ling skillfully pulled out a few small weeds on the edge of the tombstone, and muttered as he did it: "Sister Chen and the others are lazy again? There are fallen leaves on the side."

However, it may also be due to the wind and rain before, and it was too late to clean.

Qi Ling cleaned up the dead branches and leaves little by little, then took out a wet tissue and wiped the edge of the tombstone to make sure it was clean before stopping.

Qi Ling looked at the portrait on the tombstone, "This should be his relative. Anyway, I come back every winter and summer vacation, so I just come here to have a look and talk to her or something."

He was very familiar with Sister Chen, who was in charge of the cemetery here, and knew that no one had come to see the tombstone, so he took on the responsibility.

It is the right to pay back to that person.

This time, he will leave soon after staying with Xu Chen, so he came to have a look while he was out.

Xu Chen looked at the tombstone in front of him, and did not move for a long time.

Qi Ling brought him to his mother's monument, the route was familiar, as if he had been here many times.

He was about to say something, but suddenly there were several car horns outside the cemetery, Qi Ling looked over subconsciously, and saw a car parked outside the flower shop, "I saw that his house just bought a batch of flowers, It should look good, I'll go buy some and come back."

The two came in a hurry, empty-handed is not very good.

Qi Ling didn't have time to notice Xu Chen's strangeness, so he ran out to buy flowers.

After Qi Ling left, only Xu Chen standing quietly and the cold tombstone in front of him remained in this space.

Xu Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter any syllables.

The tombstone in front of me is much cleaner and tidy than the one next to it, obviously it has been taken care of regularly.

Qi Ling, have you been helping yourself take care of your mother's tombstone?

For the first time, he felt a little dazed.

For five years, he has been imprisoned abroad, and he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a child at all. Xu Hanhai is too busy enjoying family happiness, let alone remembering his dead wife here.

These missing five years made him ashamed to see his mother at all, and he also thought that he would never be able to make up for this shortcoming.

But he never expected that Qi Ling would do it for him in his own way.

He touched his heart, only to feel that the deepest blank corners were being filled up bit by bit.

Xu Chen raised his head and finally dared to look directly at the photo on the tombstone. Looking at the familiar face on it, his eyes were a little sour.

He said hoarsely, "Mom, long time no see."

Xu Chen always felt that he was ashamed to see her. He hadn't done what his mother told him, and he had been absent for five full years.

Fortunately, he has Qi Ling.

After the two of them left, a bunch of fresh white lilies, soaked in dew, were placed in front of the gray tombstone. The breeze blew through, and the dark fragrance floated, dyeing the area with a light fragrance.

It seems that I am not so lonely anymore...

After leaving the cemetery, before reaching the crowded place, Qi Ling quietly reached out to hold Xu Chen, and said with a smile: "There was no flower shop here before, it seems to be a new one, he said they also provide flower delivery Service, if I don’t have time to come back during the Ching Ming Festival, I can ask them to bring a bunch of them for me, which is quite convenient.”

Even if he broke up with his family and couldn't come back, he wasn't afraid that this tombstone would be neglected.

But just as he finished speaking, he was suddenly hugged into a wide and familiar embrace.

Qi Ling subconsciously hugged him back.

Xu Chen hugged him very tightly. It was still daytime, and even if there was no one around, it didn't mean that no one would appear all the time.

He wanted to push him away to ask questions, but Xu Chen's mood seemed a little off.

Qi Ling felt a trace of unspeakable loneliness and sadness from Xu Chen.

Usually Xu Chen always likes to keep everything in his heart, he takes care of everything by himself, and even helps him solve many things, he looks calm and reliable, this is the first time he has seen such a fragile side of Xu Chen.

Qi Ling stroked his back lightly, trying to relax his body, making it more comfortable to hug, and then asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Xu Chen felt the warm, fresh person in his arms, his voice was hoarse,

"Thank you, Qi Ling."

Along the way, Qi Ling was watching Xu Chen's face. Xu Chen said thank you to him inexplicably, with a complicated tone and a sense of relief after a heavy burden, which made him puzzled.

But after that, Xu Chen returned to normal and drove him back to the hotel.

Before getting off the car, Qi Ling still couldn't help asking: "Are you really okay? Are you feeling well? Don't be bored, why don't we call the doctor from before?"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but want to check his phone to see if he saved the contact information of the previous doctor.

That doctor seemed to be quite good, not only knew how to treat colds and fevers, but also anorexia, and prescribed a lot of medicines for him.

But as soon as he turned it over, the phone was covered by someone. Xu Chen explained: "I just thought of something before, but now I'm fine. Do you think I look sick?"

Qi Ling glanced at him up and down, and after confirming that he was really fine, he took back the phone, "Alright then!"

Seeing his regretful tone, Xu Chen thought for a moment, "Do you want me to take medicine with you?"

Those medicines are really bitter.

Qi Ling didn't expect that his little thought would be so easy to be guessed by others, so he shook his head and denied it: "How is it possible? I am that kind of person?"

Xu Chen is too smart now, right?He was obviously able to deceive before, but after getting along for a long time, he has understood his little habits and little eyes...

Xu Chen didn't bother with such a problem, and leaned over to unbuckle his seat belt for him, "Don't be poor, get out of the car and go back."

The two walked into the hotel gate one after the other. Qi Ling was discussing with Xu Chen what to eat tonight, when a person suddenly rushed out from behind, grabbed his arm and pulled him back, dragging him back.

Fortunately, Xu Chen's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly grabbed his waist and hugged him into his arms.

Before Qi Ling could see who it was, there was an angry shout from behind: "What are you doing!"

When Qi Ling heard this voice, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously withdrew from Xu Chen's arms.

He turned his head, looked at the furious Qi Changyong and Yao Peilan with cold eyes, subconsciously stood in front of Xu Chen, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Chen looked at the people in front of him. Ever since the two appeared, Qi Ling's whole body was tense, and he entered a defensive posture, including himself in his encirclement.

He didn't move, seeing that Yao Peilan seemed to be sizing him up, he gave her a cold look.

Anyway, with him here, it is impossible for these two people to do anything to Qi Ling.

He turned his head away and looked at the front desk of the hotel, the meaning was self-evident.

The front desk woke up like a dream, and immediately called the security guard.

As soon as this person came, he booked their highest-standard suite for a week with arrogance, and his gestures revealed the aura of a big boss, so she wouldn't be so shameless and just focus on watching the show.

The security guards of the big hotel came in time, and immediately stood in front of Qi Changyong, who seemed to have come at a bad time, "Hi, please don't make trouble in the hotel."

Qi Changyong glanced at the two tall and burly security guards in front of him, and subconsciously took a step back, but after he realized it, he pushed the security guards away angrily, pointed at Qi Ling and Xu Chen in front of him and shouted loudly: "I'll come find me!" Son, why are you making trouble! I still suspect that my son was abducted by this man!"

His words attracted the attention of many people in the lobby, who thought there was some kind of abduction case here.

But when he saw the two young men with outstanding temperament opposite Qi Changyong, he couldn't help thinking that he was crazy.

The relationship between the two is good at first glance, and, how did he use the word abducted?

Yao Peilan noticed the strange eyes of the people around her, pulled Qi Changyong back, and scolded him: "Don't be ashamed!"

She glanced at Qi Ling, and found that the other party's condition was much better than she imagined, and his complexion was even better than before leaving home.

Her heart tightened, and she stepped forward and said: "Lingling, isn't it enough to be angry for so long? The summer vacation is not long, so go home with Mom? We are very worried when you are outside alone."

"The parents' tone was too strong before, and we also reflected on it. Don't take it to heart, huh?"

After she finished speaking, she wanted to grab Qiling's hand, but someone sideways avoided her.

Qi Ling met Yao Peilan's earnest gaze, without much emotion on his face, "I thought I made it very clear before I left."

It wasn't his home at all.

He thought that Yao Peilan and Qi Changyong would never come to him, but he didn't expect not only to find him, but also to persuade him to go back.

Yao Peilan didn't expect Qi Ling to reject her so decisively, leaving no room for her.

She couldn't help but cast her eyes on the handsome and tall man behind Qi Ling, is it different if she really has confidence?

Yao Peilan withdrew her gaze before the other party noticed, and suddenly sighed when she thought of something, "I know that your father and I put too much energy on Yue Yue to make you unhappy, but he is only four years old, and he is exactly what he needs. The age that people pay attention to, and you have already been admitted to university, can you show some consideration to your parents?"

"The situation at home is not good now, don't let us worry about it anymore, okay? We haven't slept well these past few nights, and we've been wondering where you went, and now we finally found you. Let's have a chat, shall we?"

She looked at Qi Ling almost pleadingly, with a sincere tone, as if she was just an ordinary mother who was looking forward to her son's return home.

The eyes of the people next to her changed immediately, they looked at her with sympathy, but the eyes that fell on Qi Ling were not so friendly.

Even the receptionist curled his lips unwillingly. He is already in college, and he is still competing with his four-year-old brother for favor. It's too naive!

The parents are not too young. It may be that they have been worrying about their son for the past few days, and they are visibly haggard.

In contrast, this son lives in a high-end suite every day, and his face is ruddy, which really reflects the warmth and warmth of human feelings.

Qi Ling didn't feel the condemning gazes from the people around him. He only felt that his eyes were filled with sand, which was extremely bitter. It wasn't that he couldn't bear the stares of these people, but because of Yao Peilan's specious words.

Why did he suffer so many grievances, Yao Peilan just said "unhappy" lightly in her mouth, and said that she didn't understand them, it was simply too ridiculous.

Are you still trying to force him to go back through the sympathy of the people around you?

He was trembling with anger, and wanted to say something, but suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder, and he gently squeezed his shoulder.

Qi Ling came to his senses all of a sudden, and he suddenly realized that it was meaningless to argue with Yao Peilan and the others in this situation, it would only make others laugh and accuse him of being an unfilial son incidentally.

He gritted his teeth, and wanted to pull Xu Chen upstairs, but the other party didn't move, and signaled him to be calm with his eyes.

Xu Chen looked at the parents in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Three years ago, you bought a second-hand three-story small western-style building on xx street. In terms of your salary at that time and the need to raise a second child, you couldn’t afford it at all, but you still bought it.”

"It just so happened that Qi Ling was admitted to University A in the name of the provincial champion that year, and the government bonus was as high as more than 30. But as far as I know, he hasn't spent a penny of his family's money since his sophomore year, and he even gave it back a few days ago. Have you accepted all the tutoring fees that you have earned so hard?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

The name Qi Ling is no stranger to them. The provincial champion from Qingshui City three years ago was admitted to University A with excellent results. For this reason, Qingshui City even held up a banner for the entire summer vacation to celebrate Qi Ling's excellent results .

Not to mention bonuses.

But what did this man just say?The bonus from the government was not used on Qi Ling at all, but was they used to buy a small mansion?Even the tutoring fees you earned?

How much money did these parents take from Qi Ling?How can you still have the face to accuse others of being inconsiderate of your parents here!

Their sympathy for Yao Peilan just turned into disgust.

"What parents? How dare they hide the money? If I don't need it for my son, I will definitely save it for him to buy a house and marry a wife."

"Not only that, they even ask for the tutoring fee that he earned hard. If I understand correctly, this is his own living expenses, right? What are these parents doing?"

"It's disgusting to me. These parents were wronged just now, saying that their son is disobedient. I don't believe that such a son can go so rebellious, but they seem to have been sucking the blood of their eldest son. I bought a house and had a second child..."

When Qi Changyong heard these words, he immediately became angry, "What do you people know? We raised him to such an age, why give us a little reward? This is not even enough interest, he can't even think about running away from us, he is disobedient I broke his leg!"

The loss of his job and the pressure of the mortgage made him a firecracker that ignited at any moment. He came here today to arrest Qi Ling. Since this kid can earn 30 yuan in two years, what else does he have to worry about?

Qi Changyong didn't feel anything wrong with his thinking. As early as after Qi Ling came out, he lost his father-son affection for Qi Ling, and treated him more like an obedient tool.

But Yao Peilan was not as stupid as him, she immediately kicked Qi Changyong, and shouted: "What are you talking about!"

Normally, Qi Changyong would have kept silent, but I don't know if his recent work has made him too tense, and now he was kicked mercilessly by his wife in front of everyone, and he immediately became furious and turned his backhand. He slapped him with a slap, "What are you pretending to be? You are more vicious than me, and the holes in your heart are getting deeper and deeper. It was also your idea to let Qi Ling and Liu Yuyu go on a blind date. Originally, my job was good. You messed with me!"

Yao Peilan was slapped unexpectedly, and five clear finger prints instantly appeared on her face, but she was not a person who was bullied in vain, let alone in front of Qi Changyong, who was usually submissive to him.

She screamed, and regardless of the occasion, she fought with someone directly.

Looking at the people fighting together, Qi Ling opened his mouth, wanting them to stop fighting, but his voice was hoarse and weak after speaking.

Only then did he realize that it was Qi Changyong who had lost his job, and the two of them came to look for him. No wonder his face looked distressed and haggard. The first time he saw him, he seemed to see a life-saving straw.

Do you want him to continue the blind date with Liu Yuyu, or do you want him to help them make money?

At this time, does he have value again in the eyes of the two of them?

Xu Chen beside him sensed Qi Ling's emotion, moved his hand on his shoulder up, and gently rubbed the end of his eyes with his fingertips, as if to comfort him.

"Nothing will happen."

He thought Qi Ling was worried.

Qi Ling twitched the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating manner, felt the temperature of Xu Chen's fingertips, and realized that everyone else was looking at Yao Peilan and Qi Changyong, turned his face slightly, and took the initiative to meet Xu Chen's hand, "Mmm."

With Xu Chen around, it is impossible for these two people to hurt him again.

The security guard next to him didn't know what was out of his mind. After watching the show for a while, he pulled the two away. Qi Changyong's face was scratched with blood, and Yao Peilan's hair, which was always neat, was torn apart. The finger prints were red and swollen, clear and embarrassing.

The two fought and lost both sides.

Xu Chen glanced at the slap marks on Yao Peilan's face, and a coldness flashed across his eyes.

When he found Qi Ling in the rain that day, there were also palm prints on Qi Ling's face, and the thin red finger marks on his fair face were shocking, but he only glanced at it and didn't dare to look again, and he didn't dare to ask , He was afraid of bringing up Qi Ling's sadness, and also afraid that he would not be able to restrain the crazy thoughts in his heart after speaking.

He was reluctant to speak loudly, but he was beaten like this.

At that time, he even wanted to find someone to directly kidnap the couple and hang them in front of Qi Ling, so that he could beat them back in person.

Qi Ling couldn't do anything, so he came.

This idea lingered in his mind for a long time, until the marks on Qi Ling's face disappeared and his body gradually improved before he finally suppressed it.

Seeing the two dogs biting dogs now, Xu Chen didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. He even felt that the fight between the two wasn't hard enough, and that the security guards fought too quickly.

Yao Peilan also calmed down after fighting with Qi Changyong, panting heavily while struggling to get the security to let them go.

No matter where the security guard would let it go, he pulled the two of them towards the door, and they could beat them however they wanted outside the hotel.

Qi Changyong knew that he couldn't make money, so he had to yell at Qi Ling: "You little bastard, come out to me, your wings are so stiff! I have endured you for so long, you can run if you want?"

After hearing what he said, Yao Peilan just wanted to slap him on the face again. She brushed the loose hair from her face and said as gently as possible: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, we will wait for you outside the hotel, come out and we will chat."

"If you don't come out, we'll be waiting at the door."

Qi Ling felt Yao Peilan's shadowy gaze, and the feeling of being watched came back again. He gritted his teeth, not wanting Xu Chen to feel this disgusting feeling, and wanted to send them away, but just as he took a step, his hand snapped. was pulled.

Xu Chen squeezed his fingertips, looked up at the hotel front desk, "We are checking out now, I hope these two people will not affect our accommodation experience."

Of course the front desk understood what Xu Chen meant, and nodded repeatedly, "No problem sir, we guarantee that you can travel normally within the hotel's line of sight."

She was actually very sorry for these two people. She never thought that the truth of the matter would be so outrageous. She would never tolerate these two wretched parents continuing to pester them.

Xu Chen nodded: "Yes."

When the two were talking, Qi Ling couldn't stop looking at the hands they held.

He could clearly feel Yao Peilan's cold gaze falling between the two of them, and he obviously saw it.

This made him nervous and restless.

Yao Peilan cast too much shadow on him, this kind of intimate behavior was exposed under her nose, giving Qi Ling the illusion that he would be humiliated and scolded in a second.

He didn't want to make Xu Chen suffer from this.

He struggled, but Xu Chen's grip was very tight, and he had no intention of letting go.

The opponent's palm was warm and strong, as if sending him some signal.

Qi Ling raised his head in a panic, hitting Xu Chen's dark eyes straight into the bottomless eyes, but made all Qi Ling's struggles disappear silently.

"I'll take you away."

He heard Xu Chen say this to him.

He doesn't have to stink and rot in this place.

No more waiting around for someone who doesn't know when he'll be back.

He was held by the hand, and the man said he would take him away.

Qi Ling looked at the overlapping hands of the two, and shook them lightly.

He heard his own answer.

"it is good."
