All along, Chu Xichi has not had a good impression of Huo Qi.

Every time he deals with him, he has to think for a long time when he speaks. As long as he has a pair of fox eyes, Chu Xichi will have the illusion of being able to see everything.

Besides...

This person is Ji Yubo's official match appointed by the author.

Although the authenticity of the plot of the original novel still needs to be investigated, it is undeniable that Huo Qi and Ji Yubo are indeed very close now.

Based on these points alone, there are enough reasons for him to hate Huo Qi.

"...", Thinking of this, Chu Xichi was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and stared at the man sitting across from him, without losing any momentum, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Huo, what is your identity to question me?" Woolen cloth?"

He paused and continued to add: "If you have any questions, it's better to let Ji Yubo ask me in person."

When Chu Xichi uttered this sentence, there was a lot of gambling involved. He bet that Huo Qi would not let Ji Yubo see him.

Even if the plot of the original book may not be reliable, Huo Qi may not be with Ji Yubo now, but according to Lu Jiantong's news, even if the relationship has not been determined, the two are very close now.

What's more, now, Chu Xichi raised his eyelids, and calmly glanced at the man in front of him.

Huo Qi has come to the door in person, and he would never believe that the other party and Ji Yubo are just friends.

It is absolutely impossible for him now to meet Ji Yubo, meeting him is tantamount to actively jumping into the vortex of the plot, that is courting death.

But Chu Xichi didn't want to show that he flinched and lost his momentum in front of Huo Qi. If he was manipulated by the other party, it would be very unfavorable for him to investigate the direction of the plot quietly.

In this case, he and Huo Qi are half rivals in love, so he is sure that the other party will not let him see Ji Yubo.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Huo Qi raised his brows slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up with interest and said, "You ask, in what capacity am I asking you?"

"Isn't Mr. Chu clear about this kind of thing?"

Chu Xichi: "...?"

Clear what?

Do you know what your relationship is with Ji Yubo?

How do I know what relationship you two have? !

Riddler, go away!

Chu Xichi pursed the corners of his lips unhappily, showing a sharp jawline.

Wait, is Huo Qi already with Ji Yubo?If there is such a thing, then he has just returned to City A, so he really doesn't know about it yet.

Thinking of this, Chu Xichi's complexion was not very good, the color at the bottom of his eyes became darker, and he tentatively said in a low voice: "Even if you are already together, the previous thing is a personal grievance between me and Ji Yubo, Mr. Huo, come here It's really inappropriate to cross one foot..."

"..." Hearing this, Huo Qi fell into complete silence, the corners of his lips twitched, he opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it powerlessly.

What is Chu Xichi thinking?

Who is he with?And Ji Yubo?

Thinking about Ji Yubo's gloomy and indifferent face, Huo Qi was about to vomit in disgust.

Does Chu Xichi not know the blood relationship between the two of them?

Before because of his grandmother, Ji Yubo refused to associate with him, and Huo Qi didn't bother to care what the other party thought. At that time, no one really knew the real relationship between the two of them.But up to now, he has never intentionally covered up anything. Almost everyone in City A knows that Ji Yubo is his own nephew. How could Chu Xichi misunderstand his relationship with Ji Yubo? !

but......

Huo Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the young man calmly. Time seemed to be giving him special treatment. Three years did not leave any traces on the young man. He just sat there, as beautiful as an oil painting, even if it was He, who has seen countless people, has to admit that Chu Xichi's appearance can't fault even the slightest bit.

Although Ji Yubo now shows that he has no feelings for Chu Xichi at all, but it is an unforgettable relationship for him after all, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not be moved after seeing him again.

The current Ji Yubo is the Ji Yubo that Huo Qi is most satisfied with. He is ruthless and ruthless. He doesn't want any mistakes to cause another big change in the other party's personality.

Therefore, Chu Xichi's weird misunderstanding is actually not bad for him, and following the other party's words may completely prevent the two from meeting again.

Thinking of this, he smiled even more, a sneer even overflowed from his lips, and he simply followed Chu Xichi and said: "Indeed, I don't want to interfere in the affairs between you two,"

"But as Ji Yubo's current... incumbent." When Huo Qi said this, there was a moment of weirdness in the interview, and he was a little bit stuck, but soon became smooth again: "I think I still He is qualified to refuse your request to see Ji Yubo."

Chu Xichi glanced at Huo Qi with some doubts. The man's face was normal at this time, with a faint smile on his lips. He felt that it was a bit disobedient, and his eyes paused for a moment. Seeing the other person's eyes without any thought, he resumed Keep your doubts to yourself.

Sure enough, his guess was not wrong, the two were really together...

Although it was expected three years ago, when the person involved personally admitted this incident, an uncontrollable sourness still spread and fermented rapidly in Chu Xichi's chest.

He pursed his lips, pressed the tip of his tongue against the palate, and subconsciously wanted to say something rebuttal, but when the words came to his lips, he pinched his fingertips and forced himself to regain his senses.

There is nothing to say, this is the best result...

But why is my heart so sad?

"Jingle Bell--"

At this moment, Huo Qi's cell phone rang suddenly, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet coffee shop. He quickly took out the cell phone and turned off the sound, watching the caller display Ji Yubo's name, pursed his lips and remained silent.

A moment later, at the last second before the phone hung up, Huo Qi answered the phone silently, and turned the call volume to the minimum, "What's the matter?"

"You're already 10 minutes late." On the other end of the phone, Ji Yubo's voice sounded, with a sizzling electric sound, which sounded a bit distorted.

Hearing this, Huo Qi raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said unhurriedly: "Some things have delayed me, I'll be right there."

He came here today mainly to make an appointment with a client to meet here, because it is a relatively important contract, so Ji Yubo was also present.

While talking, Huo Qi glanced at the young man sitting across from him out of the corner of his eye. Taking advantage of the gap between him answering the phone, the other party took out his mobile phone in a hurry, typed a bunch of words, and sent them to who.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Ji Yubo's cell phone vibrate, and before he could react, there was only a busy tone from that side after he hung up the phone.

"...." Huo Qi stared at the communication record, rubbed his forehead, and took away the darkness in his eyes. These two people have not been in contact for a long time. It should be just a coincidence, maybe he was thinking too much Bar......

But Huo Qi was always suspicious by nature, he had to make sure that Chu Xichi did not intend to see Ji Yubo before he could be completely at ease. Thinking of this, he got up, patted Chu Xichi on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said: "This time I left beforehand, See you next time, Mr. Chu."

"I don't think it's necessary."

Just as Chu Xichi was about to speak, he was interrupted by a sudden male voice. The other party just said what he was about to say, and when he looked up, it was Lu Jiantong who had gone and returned.

Lu Jiantong narrowed his eyes slightly, and calmly stepped forward to hide Chu Xichi behind him, trying to block Huo Qi's sight as much as possible.

Hearing this, Huo Qi was not angry either, he scanned the two of them appraisingly, and teased with a half-smile: "You two have such a good relationship."

"I won't bother you." Before leaving, he felt dissatisfied, so he deliberately adjusted a sentence before turning and leaving.

Watching the back of the other party's departure, the corner of Chu Xichi's mouth twitched slightly: "What does he mean? Did he misunderstand something?"

"Ignore him." Unlike his obvious resistance, Lu Jiantong's expression was much calmer, and he was even in the mood to drink Chu Xichi's half-drinked coffee, "Let's go shopping."

After this, Chu Xichi couldn't be in high spirits, and just got up silently to follow the other party.

the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yubo clicked on the unread WeChat message he received just now, it was the account that has been harassing him recently, and sent him a long string of messages.

"I'm your college classmate who has had a crush on you for a long time, but today I suddenly found out that you have a boyfriend. I'm sorry, I've been bothering you recently, and I won't bother you in the future."

"...?" He frowned slightly, not understanding what the other party meant, paused his fingertips, and sent a message: "How did you know that?"

"What are you looking at?"

Huo Qi's voice suddenly sounded from behind, Ji Yubo quietly turned off the phone and quickly put it away, saying with a blank expression: "It's nothing."

"What did you do just now?" He asked casually, his voice as indifferent as usual.

Although he has been learning various things from Huo Qi in the past few years, in fact Ji Yubo doesn't trust him. The other party will do anything to get the upper hand, and even his own mother and his grandmother object to the path he takes, so he can do this Not contacting the other party for a long time, and treating grandma like this, let alone himself, is just a tool used by Huo Qi by unscrupulous means.

"It's just to buy a cup of coffee." Hearing this, Huo Qi raised the coffee in his hand as if to show him, "There are too many white-collar workers here, and it took a while to buy coffee. That's all."

"...Is that so?" Ji Yubo remained as usual on the surface, but he bought the seeds of doubt in his heart.

Huo Qi usually doesn't like to drink coffee, and he is not a person who will be late to buy coffee. Something must have happened, but the other party doesn't want him to know.

Ji Yubo's eyes lingered on the coffee cup in Huo Qi's hand for a moment, and then quickly moved away as if nothing had happened.

There are not many things that Huo Qi attaches so much importance to, unless...

"What are you doing standing there? You're coming in." Huo Qi's voice suddenly interrupted Ji Yubo's train of thought, and he responded softly, following the other person's pace unhurriedly.

There are many types of daily necessities in the supermarket, and Chu Xichi is not very interested. After shopping around and buying all the daily necessities, he has no intention of shopping any more.

He didn't lack many things, and he only had two bags and he was almost complete.

"It's just time for dinner, do you want to have a meal before going home?" Lu Jiantong helped him put the bag in the trunk of the car, and casually asked.

Chu Xichi pursed his lips impatiently. He was in a bad mood and was sleepy to death due to jet lag. He just wanted to go home and lie down, and said casually: "No, I'm not hungry after eating on the plane, and now I want to go home sleep."

"Okay." Lu Jiantong saw his displeasure, so he didn't force him, and said according to his wishes, "I'll take you home."

It was summer in City A at this time, the sky was cloudless except for the scorching sun, and the air became more and more sticky. Even the trees on both sides just stood there lazily, and occasionally there were one or two rambling cicadas.

After returning to Yuanshan Villa, Lu Jiantong saw Chu Xichi leaning on the sofa and yawning continuously, so he gave up his plan to stay here for a while, and before leaving, he specifically told me: "Wake up and tell me, before I call you Those friends can have a meal together."

"No, don't tell others about my return this time." Upon hearing this, Chu Xichi hurriedly stopped him: "I still have things to do, I'll talk about the rest later."

"...up to you." Hearing this, Lu Jiantong looked at him for a while with lowered eyes, then nodded in agreement. Seeing that he didn't want to say more about the reason, he didn't take the initiative to ask, "Then what should I do?" I'm leaving."

Chu Xichi was trustworthy in Gong Er's way of dealing with people. Seeing that the other party agreed, he was slightly relieved, waved his hand casually, and sent him away, "Goodbye."

After seeing off Lu Jiantong, he took out his phone and skillfully changed the WeChat account to a smaller account to see if he received a reply.

When he was in the coffee shop before, he might have been dazzled by the news that Huo Qi and Ji Yubo were together, so he took advantage of Huo Qi's spare time on the phone to send Ji Yubo a message, explaining that he will not be together in the future. I will disturb the other party again, but now calm down and think about it too impulsively.

It's a bit abrupt no matter how you think about it, and besides, he originally added Ji Yubo's trumpet to inquire about the other party's recent situation in the past two years, so as to compare the reliability of the plot, but he finally added it again, and he messed it up.

"Drip-drip-"

At this moment, he had just logged into the trumpet when the notification sound suddenly sounded. It was Ji Yubo who replied to him. As always, there was only a very brief sentence.

"Where did you know that?"

Seeing this, Chu Xichi pouted.

from where?Of course, I heard it from the mouth of the person involved.

But he definitely couldn't reply in this way, so he thought about it, deliberately used a tone that he couldn't fight with himself, and lied casually: "I heard it from other students, everyone knows about it."

As soon as the message was sent, the other party's reply popped up immediately, which can be counted as a second response. Chu Xichi hadn't received this kind of treatment for a long time, and he was even a little flattered.

However, the other party's reply was still very unrelenting, "Which classmate?"

Chu Xichi: "..."

How come I haven't seen your thirst for knowledge so strong before!

He pursed his lips, didn't know how to reply for a long time, and in the end he was completely messed up, and he just said nonsense: "It's your roommate, a sports student~"

"Drip-drip-"

At this moment, the mobile phone received a new message, which was not from Ji Yubo.

Chu Xichi thought it was from Lu Jiantong, and didn't pay much attention until he noticed that the message was not a WeChat message, but a text message from an unfamiliar number.

His fingertips paused for a while, but he still clicked on the message.

"Mr. Chu, Huo has booked a box tonight, and I would like to invite you to have dinner with us to catch up on the old days. I am sure you will come." There is also a list of specific locations of the restaurant and the name of the box.

Seeing that Chu Xichi didn't reply for a long time, Huo Qi sent another message, "Don't worry, it's just the two of us at night, and no third person will know about this matter. I just want to know something."

"...", looking at these two messages, Chu Xichi fell into complete silence. It was clearly an invitation message, but he forcibly read a threat from it.

What kind of medicine is sold in Huo Qi's gourd?

What does it mean to invite Ji Yubo instead of having dinner with him at night?

Just after returning to City A, Chu Xichi was still in a suspicious state, so he specifically inquired about the status of this number, and he was relieved after confirming that it was correct.

After thinking for a while, Chu Xichi still accepted the invitation and said, "Okay."

No matter what Huo Qi's purpose in inviting him was, he planned to attend the appointment.

It is not Chu Xichi's character to sit and wait for death. Moreover, Huo Qi, as one of the main characters in the plot, can also use some things from the other party to judge the progress of the plot.

It was agreed to return to the country in a low-key manner, and secretly investigated, but within half a day after landing, he was hit by two acquaintances. How unlucky this is!

After sending this message, he put the phone aside, and leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, feeling exhausted physically and mentally, and finally didn't even know how he fell asleep.

"Drip-drip-"

The message notification sounded, but it didn't wake up Chu Xichi, and the reply from Ji Yubo was lit up on the screen, "I see."

......

After replying to the trumpet who added him inexplicably, Ji Yubo lowered his eyes and silently looked at the chat record with the other party just now. He didn't speak for a long time. In those beautiful peach eyes, an obscure and dark taste once again surged and raged.

Something is wrong, nothing is right anywhere.

From Huo Qi's strange behavior at noon to the stranger's reply now, everything reveals his indescribable weirdness.

Ji Yubo did have the contact information of the sports student, but it was not added when he was a roommate, but after Chu Xichi disappeared suddenly, he frantically asked all the people around who knew Chu Xichi.

Even including Lu Jiantong, who he disliked each other, he put down his dignity to inquire about it.

Ji Yubo knew that Chu Xichi had a private connection with the sports student, and the other party sometimes asked the sports student to know about his status, so he specially added the sports student's contact information to inquire.

But as he expected, there was nothing to gain. Since then, he has completely cut off contact with the sports student. He didn't expect to hear news about this person from a stranger after graduation.

A strong sense of disobedience surged in my heart.

During the years of studying behind Huo Qi, he and Huo Qi were wary of each other. For this reason, he secretly cultivated a group of people he could trust in his work, leaving behind for himself.

It just comes in handy now.

Ji Yubo called his assistant, and the busy tone rang twice before he was picked up: "President Ji."

"I'll send you a WeChat account, you go and check the account owner's information." He looked normal, but his voice was cold, "By the way, help me adjust the timetable from 03:30 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. monitoring information."

In the afternoon, he secretly remembered the brand of coffee in Huo Qi's hand _ foot caramel hot _, which was a coffee shop not far from the meeting room where they negotiated the contract.

Huo Qi's abnormality made him feel a little brooding in his heart, no matter what, he had to investigate it himself before he could rest assured.

Maybe he's overthinking, but maybe...

Ji Yubo shook his head, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his brain.

The assistant's work efficiency is very high, and it didn't take long before he called Ji Yubo: "Mr. Changed back to City A from overseas."

Hearing this, Ji Yubo's eyes darkened, and he said calmly, "I understand."

The assistant paused and continued to add: "In addition, the monitoring of the coffee shop has been sent to your mailbox, please pay attention to check it."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yubo didn't rush to look at the monitor, but leaned back in the office chair first, watched the night scene of towering tall buildings outside the window, and lit a cigarette unhurriedly.

His thoughts were chaotic. For a while, it was the memory that Chu Xichi cruelly deceived him and left directly, and for a while, it was the other party's concern for him when he and Chu Xichi got along with each other in daily life, but in the end, they all stagnated in the cage he made by himself... ...

The bitterness of the tobacco choked into his lungs but made Ji Yubo wake up completely. He calmly smoked the whole cigarette, then put out the cigarette butt, sat back at the desk, and turned on the surveillance video sent by his assistant.

The video was only half an hour as he requested, it was not very big, and it was downloaded and played soon.

It was working hours at this time, and the cafe in the picture was very empty, with only a few scattered customers chatting, nothing unusual.

It does not match the scenes of many white-collar workers described by Huo Qi.

Ji Yubo was a little irritable in his heart, so he had to light another cigarette to calm down the fluctuations in his heart.

The video went on for another 5 minutes, and then a new customer walked into the coffee shop. It was Huo Qi. Some people simply chat for a few words before sitting down.

In the screen, Huo Qi's expression is not very good, full of aggressiveness, it seems that the conversation with the other party is not going well, but unfortunately the monitoring is silent, and what he said cannot be heard clearly.

Seeing this, Ji Yubo sat up slightly and wanted to take a closer look at the picture, but unfortunately, the seat opposite Huo Qi happened to be in a blind spot of surveillance, and only half of his body was exposed. That person seemed to be very cautious, and the surveillance could not see him at all. To the face, one can only vaguely tell from the exposed half of the body that this is a young man.

"Tsk." Ji Yubo clenched his fists unwillingly, so he continued to watch the video.

Soon, he saw Huo Qi pick up a phone call. According to the time comparison, it should be a urging call from him.

Everything seems to work fine...

Is he really worrying too much?

The surveillance video was about to finish playing, and just as Ji Yubo was about to turn off the video, a second familiar face suddenly appeared in the corner, it was Lu Jiantong.

With a serious face, he blocked the young man in the corner behind him, and confronted Huo Qi with a serious face. The young man seemed to be afraid of a dispute between the two, and finally got up from his chair. Although the camera only showed half of the other's face, it was blurry Feint.

But this is enough.

It was a face that he could recognize immediately even if it turned into ashes, Chu Xichi.

......

After a drowsy sleep, Chu Xichi finally woke up, feeling that the surrounding environment was a little strange, and only belatedly realized that he had returned to China.

Glancing at the time, it was almost time to have dinner with Huo Qi, Chu Xichi yawned and lazily went to the bathroom to wash up.

After tidying up, he lazily prepared to go to the appointment.

However, as soon as the door was opened, a familiar voice rang in his ear.

"Mr. Chu, long time no see."

The author says:

I'm sorry everyone cute!

It's much later than the agreed time, but I double-updated it!
