He said I was soft and nice

On Saturday morning, as soon as Qi Ling came out of the library, he ran into Xu Zhou and Yu Chengcheng who were coming to the library to review.

Seeing Qi Ling unexpectedly, Xu Zhou was pleasantly surprised: "Qi Ling? Didn't you say that the efficiency of reviewing in the library is too low recently, and you should stay at home instead?"

"Where are you sitting? Let's go together!"

After Xu Zhou finished speaking, he was ready to go to the library excitedly, but was stopped by Qi Ling, "I'm just here to check some information. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't stay at school."

He is going on a blind date arranged by his parents.

It was only then that Xu Zhou noticed that Qi Ling was holding a stack of materials in his hand and carrying a schoolbag, as if he was about to leave.

"Macroeconomics? Are you still studying Mr. Jiang's manuscript?" Xu Zhou saw the cover of the material, put his hand on Qi Ling's shoulder with a smile, "As for what you said, it's an excuse, right? You went to a tutor It’s just finished, what else can I do now besides study?”

Qi Ling doesn't have any friends, he is the only one who is close, so what can happen?

After Xu Zhou finished speaking, he was about to take the documents in his hand, "I'll get them for you, it's so heavy."

Qi Ling retracted his hands and dodged, "No need."

"Hey, you're still out with me? Are you really getting more and more unfamiliar after moving out of the dormitory?" Xu Zhou rubbed his head with a smile, "Now everyone is busy reviewing, when I have time, I will You must have a good meal with them."

Qi Ling and Xu Zhou were in the same dormitory before, and Qi Ling moved out after junior year, but under Xu Zhou's mediation, he has always had a good relationship with his roommates.

Qi Ling looked at Yu Chengcheng who was standing silently by the side, and turned his head to avoid Xu Zhou's touch.

During the movement, a piece of paper that Qi Ling hastily sandwiched in the information book fell out. Xu Zhou diverted his attention, bent down to pick up the paper, and saw that it was filled with densely packed questions, as if they were all taken from the manuscript. from.

"Boss, are you working too hard? Are you ready to prepare for the exam?"

Xu Zhou knew that Qi Ling was receiving a scholarship every year, and now it was exam week, logically speaking, he wouldn't spend so much energy on this kind of thing.

Qi Ling pursed his lips, and said, "I know it well."

With Xu Chen around, these wouldn't take much time.

He wanted to find an excuse to leave, but he caught a glimpse of something on the paper, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Xu Zhou, I remember that the paper you published before mentioned this circular economy flow chart. I don’t understand, can you explain it for me? Or recommend some relevant materials for me to read by myself.”

The problem with this flow chart is relatively simple, but he is really unfamiliar with this part. If Xu Zhou can provide him with some help, it will be easier.

The expression on Xu Zhou's face froze for a moment, and he hurriedly glanced at the picture, "This one! I kind of forgot about it, I'll give you an answer when I go back and have a look."

"Forget?" Qi Ling frowned. He had recently studied Xu Zhou's paper, and it had a lot in common with Professor Jiang's manuscript. Probably didn't chew the stuff thoroughly.

Moreover, Xu Zhou had a strange expression on his face. It was obvious that the thesis was such an honorable matter, and he felt uncomfortable every time it was mentioned.

Qi Ling couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to dwell on this kind of thing, "Forget it, I'll just ask casually."

Xu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "You haven't said what happened to you this afternoon, so don't just find an excuse to fool me!"

"I really didn't lie to you." Qi Ling was a little helpless, why did he feel that Xu Zhou had become more clingy since he had a girlfriend?

Yu Chengcheng next to him glared at him countless times.

"I'm going on a blind date."

Qi Ling was still going to tell the truth, Xu Zhou's attitude recently was really unpredictable, and Yu Chengcheng often looked at him with scrutiny, which made him uncomfortable.

"The one next door is older than D, and lived next door to me when I was a child."

Qi Ling deliberately made the relationship between the two of them a little more intimate.

Xu Zhou was stunned, and the leisurely look just now was no longer on his face. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Qi Ling's wrist, and said eagerly, "Are you going on a blind date?"

"That's right?" Qi Ling didn't know why Xu Zhou reacted so violently, and was afraid that he wouldn't believe him, so he showed him the chat records on his mobile phone, "We have an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon, Grand Hyatt Coffee."

"What's the problem?"

Xu Zhou also realized that he had overreacted a little. He lowered his head and glanced at the chat records in a hurry, but his brows relaxed, "It's okay, I was just too surprised for a moment, you go! Chengcheng and I went to the library first."

Yu Chengcheng was passively pulled into the library by him, and she didn't complain on her face. On the contrary, she was strangely relieved when she heard the news that Qi Ling was going on a blind date.

She looked at the handshake with Xu Zhou, her voice subconsciously softened, "Xu Zhou, let's have a big meal in the afternoon after reviewing? Today is Saturday!"

Xu Zhou was thinking about something. Just now, Qi Ling didn't even change the other party's note on WeChat. Qi Ling probably didn't notice it himself, and even hinted that he was a childhood sweetheart with the other party. Who was he to lie to?

"Xu Zhou?" Yu Chengcheng called him again, "I asked you if you want to have a big meal this afternoon?"

"Ah?" Xu Zhou came back to his senses, and was about to say yes, but changed his words, "Tomorrow! I have something to do this afternoon."

Grand Hyatt Coffee.

Qi Ling arrived half an hour early, but he has been waiting for nearly an hour now.

[It's Yuyu: There's a traffic jam on the road, so I'll be late. 】

After the other party sent this sentence half an hour ago, there was no news.

Qi Ling never wanted to waste too much time on unnecessary things, not to mention that punctuality is the most basic social etiquette.

He wanted to say that he should make it clear directly in WeChat, but if that was the case, his parents probably wouldn't give up.

He leaned back on the seat as if discouraged, and turned his head to look at the building directly opposite——

The big characters of the Xu Group are clear and conspicuous.

He chose to meet here on purpose. This coffee shop is the middle point of the two universities, and it is less than 100 meters away from Xu's building. From the window, you can directly see the main entrance of the company.

Is Xu Chen immersed in his work now?He seemed to have taken on a particularly difficult project, and sometimes he would reply at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Qi Ling narrowed his eyes, Xu Chen worked so hard, it wouldn't be too much for him to visit later, right?

Just when he was struggling to find the most natural excuse, an uncertain question came in front of him: "Are you Qi Ling?"

Qi Ling raised his head, and saw a girl with short ear-length hair standing in front of him, staring at his face in surprise.

He stood up and said politely, "Is Liu Yuyu right? I'm Qi Ling."

The other party sat down in front of him, Qi Ling glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was already [-]:[-].

Almost an hour late.

"Ah! I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect you to look like this now."

Liu Yuyu's eyes were undisguisedly amazed. She met Qi Ling when she was a child. At that time, he was always walking alone on the road, thin and tall, with gloomy eyes, which made no one dare to approach him.

Add to that the bad rumours...

As a result, she was very resistant to this blind date. She would not have come if she hadn't seen that Qi Ling was from A University.

It's just that now seeing the delicate and clean boy opposite, she only regrets why she took more than half an hour to go out!

Feeling the eager gaze of the other party, Qi Ling avoided his gaze and handed her the menu: "Look what you want to drink."

No matter how dull Liu Yuyu is, she also sensed the other party's indifference, and the smile on her mouth also subsided. She didn't take the menu that Qi Ling handed over, and called the waiter directly, "Give me a cup of signature latte, and serve this gentleman one." the same."

"I'm late today. As an apology, I'll treat you."

She directly chose coffee for Qi Ling without even asking him a question.

Qi Ling lowered his eyes to cover the coldness in his eyes, "Miss Liu, there is no need to treat guests, this time we are just to deal with our parents, and we will not have any more interactions in the future, right?"

"No!" Liu Yuyu looked him up and down, "I'm quite satisfied with you, let's date! I don't mind your previous rumors."

The taste of charity in the words did not hide much.

Qi Ling's hands hanging by his side tightened, and when he raised his eyes again, his tone was no longer polite, "I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, and I didn't intend to continue to develop."

He didn't even bother to change the notes on WeChat.

He knew that he would not have unnecessary interaction with this person.

"What?" Liu Yuyu obviously didn't expect Qi Ling to reject her so bluntly, and when he took the initiative to show his favor, he suddenly felt that his self-esteem was insulted, "You're not mistaken, are you? How can a girl like you if people know?"

The more she spoke, the more intense her tone became, "Don't think that you are a normal person after being admitted to University A, and you pretend to be like something..."

"Also, do you know that my dad is your dad's boss? Be careful when talking to me."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ling suddenly understood the true meaning of this blind date and why his parents always wanted him to settle down in his hometown.

He just wanted to put himself under their noses, be supervised by them, and add another color to his father's career by the way.

Although he graduated from the best university in the country.

Qi Ling really felt very tired at this moment, the invisible pressure came from everywhere, making him breathless and unable to break free.

Seeing his silence, Liu Yuyu thought he had compromised, and a smug look flashed across her face, "I'm not such an unreasonable person, so how about it! Later you invite me to watch a movie, let's have a good chat?"

Qi Ling lowered his head, and suddenly gave a low laugh, "Liu Yuyu, those rumors are true."

"What?" Liu Yuyu didn't react.

Qi Ling raised his head, and a very light smile flashed across his face. Coupled with this appearance, Liu Yuyu's eyes were easily dazzled.

But before she had time to appreciate it, she was shocked on the spot by the other party's words.

"I like men."

Qi Ling's voice was very soft, but his words were very clear, "I'm gay."

Seeing the other party laughing and saying these words, Liu Yuyu didn't even think about it when she realized that she poured the hot coffee that was just served on Qi Ling's body and said angrily, "You are crazy!"

Normally, Qi Ling would have poured the coffee back without hesitation. He is not the one to suffer this kind of anger, but now he just stared blankly at the dark coffee stains on his white T-shirt and his hot red arms, lightly Blinked lightly.

It hurts.

At this moment, Liu Yuyu was no longer interested in interacting with people, and after cursing inwardly she was about to leave, but was stopped by a man in a suit and leather shoes just as she turned around.

"Apologize to him."

The voice was like ice, coupled with the fierce momentum, Liu Yuyu unconsciously took a step back, but the retreat was blocked by another person, who obviously did not intend to let her leave easily.

Qi Ling heard a familiar voice, before he could raise his head, the first thing he saw was a slender hand with distinct joints, but it made people feel at ease.

Xu Chen handed him a tissue, "Next time someone splashes you, no matter what the reason is, throw it back, do you need me to teach you?"

Qi Ling took the tissue and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Seeing his slow movements, Xu Chen's eyes darkened, and took out a few pieces of paper to help him wipe off the stains on his body. When he saw the large burn marks on his arms, the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed. Stop, he sternly said: "Secretary Sun, call the police!"

The people behind saw that their boss didn't seem to be joking, so they immediately took out their mobile phones and prepared to call 110.

Liu Yuyu had never seen such a battle before, and said sharply: "Why do you call the police!"

After she finished speaking, she was ready to grab Secretary Sun's cell phone.

Secretary Sun deftly dodged her attack, adjusted his glasses, and explained to her: "Those who spill coffee on someone and cause minor injuries to the victim may bear criminal responsibility. I'm just going through a process, and everything will wait for the police." to judge."

Liu Yuyu panicked immediately, "I was just playing around with him, why is it so serious?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Ling, "Qi Ling, do you think so?"

At this moment, Qi Ling's white T-shirt was very messy. He pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Xu Chen's sleeve with such great strength that his fingertips turned white.

Xu Chen's eyes darkened, his hands leaned back, but his eyes coldly glanced at the person opposite, "Is this the school ethos of D University? Do you throw coffee at people without looking at them? Are you also so arrogant and domineering in school?"

Liu Yuyu's bag had the University of D's badge on it.

At this time, the people around also whispered,

"So she's a student of University D? My son goes to school there. I'll ask him later if he knows this girl. It's too scary."

"That's right, I watched the boy from the beginning to the end, this boy has always been nice and angry, but she suddenly called him crazy and poured coffee, so uneducated!"

"I took a video, and I will post it on the official website of D University later, so that everyone can see her face."

Liu Yuyu almost went crazy when she heard these words, "What on earth do you want!"

Xu Chen didn't reply, but instead looked down at the person beside him who had been silent all this time, thought for a while, raised his hand slightly, and patted the other's hand on his cuff, as if to comfort him.

Qi Ling noticed it, and took Xu Chen's hand behind his back, before saying, "Apologize to me."

Xu Chen struggled subconsciously, but Qi Ling held on tightly, his hands were still trembling a little, as if he was really frightened.

He hesitated for a moment, but didn't move.

Liu Yuyu didn't notice the small gestures of the two of them. She just felt humiliated. Just as she was about to refute, she saw Secretary Sun pick up her phone and was about to call the police.

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out three words, "I'm sorry..."

Qi Ling: "I didn't hear that."

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have poured coffee on you!" Liu Yuyu almost yelled.

At this time, her face was flushed, and tears rolled in her eyes, as if she was about to cry the next moment.

Only now did Qi Ling look directly at her, with no extra emotion on his face, "I don't want to see you again in the future, and I hope you don't have any other extra thoughts."

Liu Yuyu had never been wronged so much before, and she also heard Qi Ling's cryptic warning, but at this moment she could only bow her head and admit her mistake: "Got it."

Just when she thought the matter was over and she could leave, Secretary Sun covered her lips and coughed: "That's right, you still need to pay for Mr. Qi's clothes cleaning and medical expenses."

Liu Yuyu really couldn't help it this time, tears fell down, "You..."

She transferred 1 yuan to Qi Ling.

Finally, Xu Chen looked at the dirty Qi Ling and led him to his residence near the company.

Qi Ling took a shower, and his clothes were dirty, so he was wearing Xu Chen's shirt.

The large shirt made Qi Ling even smaller. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room, using his left hand to apply burn ointment to his right hand.

Xu Chen bought this on the way.

I don't know if his posture was too funny, Xu Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he took off the ointment and applied it for him himself.

Qi Ling blinked, and when the opponent touched his wound, he withdrew his arm, "Hiss...it hurts."

The voice is pathetic.

Xu Chen kept his face sullen, didn't answer him, and continued to take the medicine.

But every time he touched Qi Ling, the other party withdrew his hand, forcing him to reach out and grab his wrist, "Hold it for a while."

His tone was cold and hard, but he still couldn't help but relax a lot.

Xu Chen's palm was dry and warm, and when it fell on his cool skin, it was a little hot, making him want to hide again.

But this time he held back, reluctant.

After applying the medicine, Xu Chen let go of his hand, looked at the person in front of him, and said with a straight face, "If I hadn't just passed by, would you have been prepared to be bullied in silence like this?"

In his impression, no matter how good Qi Ling is, he is not the kind who can be bullied.

Still so afraid of pain...

Qi Ling thought of something, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, "She said I was sick..."

"I don't know how to get along with girls. I seem to be really sick." He stretched out his finger and brushed it on the wrist that had just been held for a long time, as if this could make the feeling last longer.

Xu Chen frowned: "How could this be a disease?"

"It's not like that," Qi Ling raised his head, looked at the calm and tall man in front of him, and whispered,

"Xu Chen, I like men."
