He said I was soft and nice

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and a smile flashed across his lips, which was fleeting.

"You said earlier that I look like someone you know?"

He could feel Qi Ling's closeness to him. Although it was not as direct as it was at the beginning, he could still feel it in the details.

If it wasn't for his ulterior motives, then the person Qi Ling was talking about should be very important to him, right?

But after he asked this question, the smile on Qi Ling's face faded, "We met many years ago, and we only met a few times, but the impression was deep."

That person was wearing a mask at the time, and he actually couldn't see his face clearly. In addition, in the past five years, he had almost forgotten what that person looked like.

Xu Chen nodded, he just wanted to make sure that Qi Ling's words at that time were not an excuse, seeing him like this, he was indeed a real person.

He glanced at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, "It's getting late, I'll take you back to school."

Qi Ling didn't refuse either, and obediently nodded and followed Xu Chen.

After Xu Chen drank, he asked for a substitute driver.

When getting into the car, Xu Chen noticed that Qi Ling's posture of raising his legs to get on the car was a bit strange, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Did the chaos in the bar affect him?

"It's okay, I accidentally knocked on it when I was in the box." Qi Ling rubbed his calf, feeling a sharp pain, he should have touched Zi.

Xia □□ didn't know much, the edge of the coffee table was sharp, and he expected it to be hit like this.

Xu Chen immediately remembered how Qi Ling bumped into each other. Yan Hao left someone to play in the bar, and when he pulled him, he bumped into it. It seemed quite painful.

He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the well-treated wound on his right arm, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let me see if it's serious."

Hearing this, Qi Ling glanced at the driver in front of him, as if he was a little embarrassed, and finally lifted up his trousers to expose the injury.

The narrow back seat made it inconvenient to raise the legs too high, and the wound was still on the side, so Xu Chen couldn't see it at all from this angle.

Xu Chen looked at the person who was trying to adjust his posture but couldn't find a suitable position, so he leaned his right leg towards him, "If you don't mind, you can put it on my lap."

This was the most suitable way he could think of.

A dark look flashed in Qi Ling's eyes, put it on his lap?Did Xu Chen really regard him as a junior?

But such a good opportunity, of course he will not miss it.

Qi Ling put his calf on Xu Chen's body in a good manner. At that moment, he obviously felt the other's muscles tense, as if he was not used to such intimate contact with people.

Xu Chen did feel a little uncomfortable, and the calm look disappeared when he saw the gleaming white leg——

That piece of skin looks even fairer against the background of the dark pants, even if the light inside the car is not very bright, it is enough to have a panoramic view of this small piece of scenery.

Seeing that the other party didn't move, Qi Ling relaxed the strength on his legs, shrank back, and asked in a low voice, "Is this not good? I'm fine."

The rubbing sound of the cloth was clearly audible in the silent car, adding a touch of ambiguity to the atmosphere between the two.

Xu Chen tried his best to ignore the other party's blushing eyes and the strangeness in his heart, and reached out to grab the slender ankle, "Let me take a look first."

The intimacy of skin-to-skin contact made Qi Ling tremble uncontrollably, and this small tremor was directly conveyed to Xu Chen's hands. He raised his head and asked in doubt: "It hurts?"

But the wound was obviously on the side of the calf, and there was indeed a bruise there, but it shouldn't be a serious problem, just take care of it.

What is Qi Ling shaking?

Qi Ling couldn't hear what Xu Chen was asking, and he almost couldn't maintain his expression.

It's solid wood, right?

He wanted to pull his leg back, but at this moment, the car passed a speed bump, and there was a jolt, Xu Chen's hand that was holding his ankle slipped all the way to his calf.

The calloused fingertips brushed past, and Qi Ling hissed at the unexpected numbness.

Xu Chen didn't expect it to be so slippery, so he withdrew his hand instantly. Before he could speak, Qi Ling gritted his teeth and said, "It hurts too much."

Xu Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask?

Xu Chen, who sensed Qi Ling's emotions, was a little puzzled. Is the little boy feeling too full now?

After that, he was speechless all the way, and when he arrived at the destination, Qi Ling got out of the car angrily, but not long after, he turned back and knocked on Xu Chen's car window, with a sullen face: "Try not to get wet on the wound on the arm. If you take a bath, you can wrap a layer of plastic wrap first, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get infected."

Xu Chen nodded in response, with a slight smile on his lips, "Okay, I see."

This kid is really kind of cute.

Of course, Qi Ling outside the car didn't miss the smile on Xu Chen's mouth. This was the first time he saw Xu Chen smiling at him, with a little doting on him.

The corners of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, his eyebrows curved, "Mr. Xu, good night."

Xu Chen saw that he was looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for his response, and suddenly wanted to pat his head.

He thought so, and of course he did.

The touch of the bottom of the hand is fluffy and soft, like a cute kitten, soft and obedient.

"Good night." He heard his own laughing voice, "You can call me brother, or you can call me by my full name, Xu Chen."

After returning to his residence, Qi Ling lazily lay down on the bed to change the notes for Xu Chen after taking a shower. He did not hesitate to write down the other party's full name, what brother, he never regarded him as a brother from the beginning to the end.

However, Xu Chen seemed to really treat him as a child and junior.

Qi Ling suddenly felt a bit of a headache, but it seemed that he could only use this relationship to get close to Xu Chen, otherwise he would be labeled as having ulterior motives.

But pretending to be good is quite easy, he doesn't mind "playing" with Xu Chen like this.

With Xu Zhou's lessons learned from the past, he doesn't plan to cultivate feelings step by step and then try again. He just needs to make Xu Chen interested in him, and then everything will come naturally.

Physical pleasure is far more important than emotional satisfaction. Xu Chen is older than him, so he must understand this truth better.

At this time, the corners of Qi Ling's mouth were raised, and the arc of his smile was almost the same as when he was facing Xu Chen, but it didn't have the slightest hint of cuteness.

—

The next week is the exam week, Qi Ling's tutoring task is also in the final stage, so he is very busy, even if he is free, he spends time in the library, sitting next to Xu Zhou and his girlfriend Yu Chengcheng.

Qi Ling didn't want to be with them either, but Xu Zhou had known his habits for a long time, and reserved a seat for him in the library every day. The threesome made Qi Ling feel a little bored.

He really didn't want to see these two flirting with each other.

"How about going to the cafeteria for lunch, I miss the sweet and sour pork ribs on the second floor." Xu Zhou enthusiastically suggested from the side.

Qi Ling closed the book and said softly, "You guys go! I'm going to the East Campus to feed the cats today."

The east area is a place for faculty and graduate students to live. The green facilities are relatively well built and there are many stray cats. He goes there regularly once a week. Today, he read Professor Jiang's manuscript and felt dizzy, so he went for a walk.

Xu Zhou said without hesitation, "Then I will go with you."

Yu Chengcheng curled her lips beside her, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Qi Ling didn't know what Xu Zhou wanted to do. The three of them had to stick together. Didn't he think that his light bulb had a high wattage?

He was just about to find a reason to refuse, when Xu Zhou suddenly said, "Qi Ling, is your tutor expiring soon? I just know a family that needs a tutor, a third-year high school student, and the price is very high. , I mentioned you to him before, he said that when you have time to contact him, he wants to talk to you. "

Students from University A are very popular as tutors, not to mention those with top grades like Qi Ling. In the past, Qi Ling's tutors were all introduced by Xu Zhou, and the price offered by the other party was three times the market price. There are very rich red envelopes. Relying on these tutors and the scholarship of University A, he has now saved a small 3 yuan.

Qi Ling is very grateful to Xu Zhou for this.

He swallowed his refusal, "Okay, you give me your contact information, and I invite you to dinner."

Xu Zhou sent him a string of numbers, then put his arms around his neck, grinned and said, "I'm out of touch! Which one of us is with whom?"

This time, Qi Ling didn't dodge, but let Xu Zhou hold him.

He felt that Xu Zhou was not bad, as long as he changed his mentality, he should be quite happy to get along with others.

After all, profit comes first.

The three of them went to the East Campus together. Qi Ling was still thinking about an argument in Professor Jiang's manuscript. The manuscript was messy and did not give a complete data link.

Seeing his frowning face, Xu Zhou asked, "What's the matter?"

Hearing Xu Zhou's voice, Qi Ling suddenly remembered something. Xu Zhou had published a high-quality thesis in the last semester of his junior year, and the school had publicly praised him. The direction seemed to have something to do with him.

He simply took out the manuscript in his schoolbag, pointed to that place and asked him, "Do you know how Professor Jiang came up with this conclusion? You can recommend some relevant literature to me, I remember your previous paper wrote about it."

Xu Zhou glanced away and looked away, vaguely said: "I can't think of it for a while when you ask me like this, maybe Professor Jiang wrote it casually."

"Impossible." Qi Ling said decisively, "It is impossible for the professor to write such meaningless things."

Xu Zhou suddenly became hoarse. Seeing Qi Ling's frowning, he gritted his teeth, "My brother was a student under Professor Jiang before, and I can ask him for you later."

"You mean, Xu Chen?" Qi Ling didn't expect such a coincidence, and his mood improved a lot, "Then I will find time to ask him."

Recently, he didn't have time to find Xu Chen, and the other party seemed very busy. The communication between the two was limited to morning and evening greetings on WeChat, but most of them were said by him, and Xu Chen occasionally responded with a hmm.

It's not good to be cold, but Qi Ling never tires of it. He can feel Xu Chen's softening attitude towards him. Even if he posted some meaningless things, the other party took it seriously.

Thinking of this, Qi Ling took out his phone and sent another message.

【Today, I went to A Dadong Campus for a stroll. It happened that the sun was not shining today, so I went to feed a cat~】

【Cats are cute.jpg】

Xu Chen was actually in A Dadong Campus at this time, but he was in the faculty dormitory, and he came to visit his teacher when he was a student.

Professor Jiang looked at the proud student in the past, his eyes were full of relief, "It's good to be back. When you suddenly went abroad, I thought it was something happened to your family. Now that you are doing well, I feel relieved."

Xu Chen helped the old man to sit down, "It's the students who failed the teacher's cultivation."

Professor Jiang raised his hand to tell him not to say any more, "It's all over." He thought of something, and pulled out a booklet from the table, "Look at this paper. I only glanced at it at first, and thought it was written by you. This The talent is really good, I checked, it is your brother."

"Spiritual energy." Professor Jiang looked relieved, "I'm actually planning to accept the last student. How is your brother Xu Zhou?"

Professor Jiang can be said to be the most authoritative boss in their Department of Economics and Management. If anyone graduates from him, he will definitely be able to put a layer of gold on his future resume.

Xu Chen looked down at the thick paper in the professor's hand, his eyes darkened, and he didn't answer.

Professor Jiang was a little puzzled by Xu Chen's sudden silence. Just as he was about to ask something, the phone in Xu Chen's pocket buzzed twice.

Professor Jiang laughed, "I'll go to the kitchen first to see what my old woman is doing."

Xu Chen was the only one left in the living room. He took a deep look at the papers lying quietly on the table, and then took out his mobile phone, only to find that it was Qi Ling's news.

[Qi Ling: Good morning, Xu Chen, the custard buns in the canteen today are very delicious! 】

【Qi Ling: It's another day of reviewing in the library. It's so boring. I want to go out to get some air. Xu Chen, what are you doing? 】

[Qi Ling: I went to A Dadong Campus for a stroll today, it just so happens that the sun is not shining today, so I went to feed a cat~]

【Qi Ling: Cats are cute.jpg】

He is quite busy today and has no time to reply to messages.

Looking at this series of news, he suddenly felt that the depression in his heart was much lighter.

Maybe it's because the cat's emoji is too cute?

When Professor Jiang came out with the fruit, he found Xu Chen relaxed, "What did you see so happy?"

Xu Chen took back his phone, thought for a while, and replied, "A cat."

"Cat? This building, "Look, there it is!"Someone else brought treats to feed them. "

Xu Chen followed the sound, and immediately saw a squatting figure downstairs, wearing a white shirt, with a clean and delicate profile. At this time, his palms were spread out, and there was cat food inside, and several cats were obediently eating in his palms.

The slightly scorching sun became gentle after being cut into pieces by layers of leaves. At this time, it fell lightly on people, making people unbearable to disturb.

Obviously there were people coming and going around, but Xu Chen only had eyes for that one person, so he just looked at Qi Ling silently until the phone vibrated again.

Qi Ling sent him a photo, the slender white palms were spread out, with a few cat heads squeezed on it, and they were eating vigorously.

[Qi Ling: Look at the cat!cute isn't it? 】

Xu Chen's eyes fell on him, and a smile flashed in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

[Xu Chen: Well, cute. 】
