Green tea junior is always catching me

When Li Xinghe rushed to the residence given by Zhao Xuejin, he was told that he was not at home.

The housekeeper told him in Chinese with an accent that Zhao Xuejin went to recuperate because she was not feeling well, and it would take about a week to come back.

Li Xinghe left his contact information to the housekeeper, and then returned home in a daze.After he went back, he found Li Li'an and said that he wanted to go back to China.

Li Li'an showed embarrassment on his face, and persuaded him, "I'm going back to China just after school, is there something urgent? Or is it something that Dad did not do well, you tell me, and I promise to correct it."

Li Xinghe was a little speechless for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I didn't mean that."

He thought about it, and felt that he was indeed a little impulsive, and it would be better to ask the situation first, in case those reports were made out of nothing.

He asked Li Li'an, "Dad, if you and Zhao Xue know each other well, then you know us..." The next words made him hesitate, because before that, he rarely mentioned Zhao Qingbei to Li Li'an.

Li Li'an knew about his sexual orientation, and also knew that he had a boyfriend in China.

But the two had never met under his introduction, and he thought they had no contact.

Li Li'an took the initiative to say, "I know his younger brother, and that kid once asked me to take good care of you here. You are my son, and I will do it without him saying that."

Li Xinghe was slightly startled, "He asked you? Did you contact me?"

Li Li'an avoided his gaze and said, "Of course, I also know the judge teacher who participated in the competition. At your mother's wedding, I said hello to him. This kid is quite stable, without the impetuosity of his peers."

He tried his best not to say too much, Li Xinghe nodded and went upstairs to rest.

Three days later, Zhao Xuejin contacted him.

Li Xinghe found a time when he was not in class, and stepped into the manor again.

The butler took him to the studio and left.

Li Xinghe pushed the door open and went in, originally expecting to see Zhao Xuejin, but there was no one in the studio.This studio is very large, and there are many portraits of human bodies displayed in it, most of which are young and beautiful women.

He didn't know why Zhao Xuejin didn't come out to meet him directly, and looked at those paintings out of boredom.

At the end of the studio, there is a fine brushwork painting of a woman, with a line inscribed on the side, "Xue Jin's horseshoe disease, Qingyuan came from the north."

Li Xinghe understood almost instantly that the woman in this painting was probably You Min, and the inscriptions were the names of the two brothers.As for the creator, he glanced at the red badge, and it was Zhao Zhongming who was right.

A gentle and clear male voice sounded from behind, "Is this painting good-looking?"

Li Xinghe turned his head and saw Zhao Xuejin sitting in a wheelchair.

He looked up at the painting, unable to tell what kind of expression he had on his face, "Dad last time held a painting exhibition, and this painting was only for viewing and not for sale, but there were still people who wanted to buy it at a high price."

The light in the studio was pale, making his complexion more and more like a blank sheet of paper.

"The gods and couples that countless people yearn for, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and friends are respectful. They are actually mirrors." He laughed mockingly, "It's just a painting, but there are still people who take it seriously."

Li Xinghe suddenly felt that the words on his lips could not come out. Before coming here, he thought about many questions, but now he found that those questions seemed to be meaningless.

Zhao Xue looked at him desperately and said, "My brother loves you very much. He would rather suffer in the country than let you stay out of it."

This sentence seems to confirm his conjecture, Li Xinghe 3034

0 heart slowly sank to the bottom.

Zhao Xuejin pointed to the tea table next to her and said, "Let's go, talk over there, I don't need to sit, you can't stand all the time. The story is long, you'd better sit and listen."

Li Xinghe came back to his senses and reached out to help him, but he waved his hand and went to the tea table by himself.

I don't know how many years he has been like this, it seems that the edges and corners have been smoothed by illness.

Zhao Xuejin poured him a cup of tea, "Try it, the Dahongpao brought by Dad. It's funny to say that he doesn't drink tea much, but he always likes to do these arty things."

"I don't drink much tea either." Li Xinghe picked up his cup and drank it down, saying insipidly.

Zhao Xuejin laughed, "After listening to what I said just now, how do you feel about Xiaobei? Are you moved by him treating you like this, or angry that he didn't tell you anything?"

"All." Li Xinghe said without hesitation, "I wanted to go back to China to look for him last week, but my dad sometimes said it was inconvenient to ask for leave, and sometimes said he couldn't find my passport. So before I came to you, I thought Maybe everyone knew this was going to happen and I was the only one kept in the dark."

"Then you're still here?"

"I want to know him."

Li Xinghe clenched the justice cup tightly in his hand. It was ridiculous to say that he and Zhao Qingbei had done the most intimate thing, and once loved each other so much that they couldn't bear to be apart for a second, but aside from the feeling of being dazzled by love , He didn't even fully understand this person.

After more than ten years of separation, both of them have changed a lot.

He is no longer the wild boy who hugged the football all day long and molested little girls, nor is he the little boy who is so self-absorbed that he doesn't say a word and stands under the tree every day waiting for his brother to appear.

Their encounter was like nebulae colliding in the interstellar, entangled vigorously, but they knew nothing about each other's past and present life, and finally dragged two long tails and crashed together on the vast wilderness.

Distrust and dishonesty are taboos between lovers, but because the feeling of being in love is so real and strong, he is still unwilling to give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.

Zhao Xuejin said slowly, "But judging by your expression, it seems very sad."

Li Xinghe turned his head, his chest heaved up and down, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Zhao Xuejin shook his head and said, "It seems that my younger brother is still not very good at dealing with feelings. The last time he made someone cry was when he was five years old when he sternly rejected a little girl who confessed to him, and told him in a serious manner. He already has a partner."

Li Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his temples dumbfounded, "I do have a partner, we have known each other since we were young."

Zhao Xue raised her eyebrows in astonishment, "Then he shouldn't have done this. I agree with you to teach him a lesson, otherwise this guy will never learn how to love someone."

Li Xinghe didn't expect him to say that. When he first met Zhao Xuejin, he always felt that he was a cold and unapproachable person, but in fact, he did not show a gloomy and pessimistic attitude when facing his broken body. Always mention these in a flat, sarcastic tone.

He couldn't help but wonder why Zhao Qingbei hated him so much.

Zhao Xuejin said, "You also know what he was like when he was a child. He didn't like to talk, and he didn't like to rely on others. The only thing he liked was to hang around me, but at that time my health was really not up to par, and my father punished him several times because of this. Times. A child always has a strong sense of self-esteem. When he sees that his father is always leaning towards me, he becomes angry, and gradually the misunderstanding deepens, and he avoids me more and more."

He said lightly, "Look, this kid is like this. He has never taken the initiative to communicate with others since he was a child. It's not that he doesn't love you, but he always likes to use his own 303

40 ways to love you without considering whether you can accept it. "

Li Xinghe pursed his lips, feeling that Zhao Qingbei was indeed what he said.

He is very good to himself, the kind that is taken for granted; but he never thought that he also wanted to be a giver in this relationship.

He picked a handful of roses and handed them to him, but he didn't know that he cared more about his fingertips that were punctured by thorns.

Many people think that the person who is pampered in love must be happy, but they never think about the price they have to pay in their hearts when they enjoy each other's pampering.

Zhao Xuejin sighed, "However, this is not entirely his problem. Mom and Dad also have to bear a lot of responsibility. I was like him when I was young. On the surface, I looked obedient and obedient, but in fact I was very rebellious. Dad is a Egoist, the hole in the family does not exist overnight. He noticed this problem when he took over. He used all means to train me and Xiaobei, but he just wanted to find two people who could make Blue Water Bay happy when something really happened. The successor who came back from the dead."

"You don't have to worry too much about Xiaobei. Uncle Zhang has already gone back, and the Jiang family will also make a move. Like Dad, he doesn't fight unprepared battles." Zhao Xuejin said.

Li Xinghe frowned, "So, he also expected that the company would be hit hard?"

Zhao Xuejin nodded, "Since he turned eighteen, he has gradually taken over the company, and his understanding of various information is no less than that of his father."

Therefore, he had already predicted the worst, but he still wanted Li Xinghe to come here and wait for him.

Li Xinghe silently stared at the water drops on the cup, and gradually clenched his teeth.

Zhao Xuejin said, "There is no one in our family who can't calculate. You should have met my mother. She looks very gentle and weak, but in fact, she can appear on the board of directors the next day after giving birth to Xiao Bei."

He paused and said, "But even if she treats me and Xiaobei like this, I can't hate her. Because when I was full of tubes and the doctor gave three critical illness notices, she was the only one who was still taking care of me. She treated me Both Xiaobei and Xiaobei have a mother's nature, but it's not enough for her to give up everything for us."

Li Xinghe looked at him tremblingly, feeling more and more that Zhao Qingbei misunderstood him too deeply.

He couldn't help but said, "You should have left the country very early, next time I return to China, I'll bring you some specialties from City S."

Staying alone in a foreign country at such a young age, I guess I miss things related to my hometown.

Zhao Xue laughed and said, "I seem to know why Xiaobei likes you so much. You don't need to bring me anything. The second said that you are studying photography. If possible, can you take more domestic photos and send them to me?"

"What's the problem? I'll send it to you in a while. I used to like taking pictures on the street." Li Xinghe said, "Are you studying now, or have you already worked?"

Zhao Xuejin said, "It's a part-time study. I will graduate with a Ph.D. in neuroscience next year. Now I'm working in a research institute near your home."

Li Xinghe took a deep breath, "Your family is indeed a top student, you came here in high school?"

"Well, I still went back to China occasionally at that time, but I didn't go back much later." Zhao Xuejin said, "I really couldn't go to school in the third year of high school, so I had to invite a teacher to teach at home."

Li Xinghe asked him which school he was in. Coincidentally, his alma mater happened to be the one Zhao Qingbei wanted to apply for.

listen to him 303

40 description, Li Xinghe felt that his life was monotonous and lonely, and he seemed to have few friends at home and abroad.

Zhao Xuejin also expressed emotion, saying that many high school classmates lost contact, and he couldn't go to the class reunion.

Li Xinghe asked, "Do you have any good classmates in China? Your high school is next to my cousin's high school. If you lose contact, I can ask him to help you with the contact information."

Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "No."

He drank the last sip of tea, and said to Li Xinghe, "You can stay and eat, and try my cooking skills. I cook very well."

It happened that Li Xinghe also wanted to ask some more questions about Zhao Qingbei, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xuejin's residence is very suitable for people using wheelchairs. There is an elevator and no threshold is set. The housekeeper came and pushed him downstairs.Li Xinghe also wanted to go down to help, when the phone in his pocket vibrated.

He turned on the screen and saw that it was Zhao Qingbei who was calling, and immediately stopped in his tracks.
