Los Angeles West

Qin Zhuang and Zuo Dongzhi were drinking at the bar. When they met Xia Chu, Qin Zhuang suddenly thought of something, and asked Xia Chu if he knew the whereabouts of the west of Luocheng.

Xia Chu didn't avoid Qin Zhuang's gaze, and looked back seriously, "I thought you wouldn't ask me any more."

"So you know... don't you..." Qin Zhuang grabbed Xia Chu's wrist and forcefully made Xia Chu frown.Seeing Zuo Dongzhi at the side, he hurriedly came between the two of them and pulled Qin Zhuang's hand off. Seeing Xia Chu's reddish wrist felt a little distressed, but Xia Chu didn't care. He pulled Zuo Dongzhi and let him sit down. Beside her, under Qin Zhuang's eager gaze, he said, "You know, I have invited Luo Chengxi to work in my gallery."

"and then?"

"Then I had a job that suited him, and he just approached me, and it hit it off."

"Then where is he now?" Qin Zhuang clasped his hands, suppressed and patiently waited for Xia Chu's answer, but Xia Chu's answer disappointed Qin Zhuang again.

Xia Chu told him that she was arranging suitable people to take care of Mr. Zhou, a painter she represented, to recuperate. When she was wondering who to arrange, Luo Chengxi appeared.

"He took the initiative to find you?" Qin Zhuang asked Xia Chu.

"I thought of him, and he just called me, so I asked him if he would like to."

"So he agreed and you arranged it without telling me?"

"I thought you let Luo Chengxi do what you like." Xia Chu said naturally.

"Didn't Winter Solstice tell you that I was looking for him?"

Xia Chu looked at Zuo Dongzhi beside him, and then at Qin Zhuang, "I found out later, that's why I realized that Chengxi left you on purpose, so do you think I will take the initiative to tell you without you asking me? "

"Why? I'm so untrustworthy? Even though Dongzhi and I are best friends, you don't even tell him?" Seeing Zuo Dongzhi's serious and surprised expression, Qin Zhuang knew that Zuo Dongzhi had just found out about it.

Xia Chu smiled from the side, and said, "Young Master Qin, you are really overbearing. When you don't need others, you torture him and alienate him. When you need others, you restrict others' freedom and give him what you think Okay, do you think this is appropriate?"

"He never said he didn't need me." Qin Zhuang retorted.

Xia Chu smiled, "Have you ever given him a chance to speak?"

Qin Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and took a sip of the wine in the glass, trying to sober himself up with the spicy drink.

"I won't tell you this, I just want to know, where is Chengxi now?"

I thought that Xia Chu would not tell him, but this time Xia Chu told him, although the result did not satisfy Qin Zhuang, "Mr. Zhou wants to go to a secluded mountain to sketch and cultivate. The specific location is determined by Mr. Zhou and arranged in the west of Luocheng. During the trip, there is no need to report to me..."

"Then when will they come back?" Qin Zhuang asked.

"It's hard to say... half a year is needed, and it depends on Teacher Zhou's mood..."

Qin Zhuang knew that Xia Chu would not lie, nor would he prevaricate him, "If he comes back, you will tell me." Qin Zhuang looked at Zuo Dongzhi again, his fierce eyes made Zuo Dongzhi retreat unconsciously Once nodded.

Xia Chu glanced at Zuo Dongzhi and smiled, "Of course, I will tell you..."

"I believe you won't lie to me..." After saying that, Qin Zhuang got up and left without saying goodbye.

Zuo Dongzhi looked at Qin Zhuang's back, and said thoughtfully, "Didn't Luo Chengxi take the initiative to ask you about work..."

Xia Chu took a sip of wine and nodded, "It was Su Han who was the middleman. He told me that Chengxi wanted to leave Qinzhuang, but Su Han was not at ease and let the senior leave aimlessly like this. He happened to know that I was looking for People take care of Mr. Zhou, so hit it off."

"Are you protecting Su Han?" Zuo Dongzhi frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

Xia Chu hooked Zuo Dongzhi's arm with both hands, and leaned against him, "Are you angry?"

"No..." Zuo Dongzhi denied it pretending to be serious.

"I did help Chengxi, and I'm already an accomplice, so I'll help Su Han share a little bit, so Yan Hao will also be grateful to me!"

"You are really..." Zuo Dongzhi shook his head helplessly, why didn't he know that Xia Chu cared about the friendship between their friends.

Qin Zhuang found out about Luo Chengxi's whereabouts, knew that he was fine, and even recovered his eyesight. leave him.

In the following days, he deliberately kept a distance from Luo Xiaolin, and told her directly that he had someone he liked.

Luo Xiaolin seemed a little disappointed, but not very sad, she was an open-minded and cheerful girl.

"I'm so envious of the person Brother Qin likes."

"You will also meet someone who likes you and you like too." Qin Zhuang said.

"But it's not easy to meet someone as outstanding as Brother Qin." Luo Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Am I that good?"

"Of course, Brother Qin is someone I have admired since I was a child."

Qin Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly, his good-looking eyes revealed a puzzled look, why did Chengxi feel fear in his heart and want to leave him when he was good in other people's eyes.

Qin Zhuang kept a distance from Luo Xiaolin, and introduced her to a boyfriend who was a son of a good family, and the relationship between the two went smoothly.Soon Mother Qin found out about this, and called her son back.Qin Zhuang knew what his mother told him to go back to talk about, and he was ready to face it.

"Did you introduce a boyfriend to Xiaolin?" Qin's mother asked directly, she knew she could stop pretending to be confused.

"Yes, they are fine now."

"Do you know that Xiaolin is my favorite candidate for a daughter-in-law?" Qin's mother looked angry.

"I'm sorry Mom, I already have someone I like."

"The one you like? Well, since you don't know Xiaolin, I won't force you, but when you will marry me and have children, tell me and give me some time." Qin's mother said seriously, as if she was giving an ultimatum.

"I'm sorry Mom, the person I like is a man, I can only let you down." This was the first time that Qin Zhuang answered his mother's question about his relationship directly.

"You, what did you say?" Facing his mother's confusion and panic, Qin Zhuang continued: "Mom, you already knew about it, didn't you? The matter between me and Lin Fan...you know the reason why I don't have a girlfriend. Just pretending not to know."

"You..." Mother Qin's face turned pale, she didn't expect her son to be so direct. "Don't you know I'm doing it for you? For your face."

"My face? Don't you want to take care of your own face?" Qin Zhuang didn't back down. At this moment, he could no longer hide what should be said.

"What are you talking about? If Lin Fan is a girl, I have no objection."

"Mom, no matter what you say, I can't give up the person I like for others."

"Do you like him that much? That Luo Chengxi? He left, didn't he? He couldn't possibly like you. He knew that his family had introduced you to a girlfriend, so he left, didn't he? "

"He knows?" Qin Zhuang suddenly understood that it was his mother who let Luo Chengxi know about Luo Xiaolin, and he suddenly remembered the cell phone that he hadn't seen for a while while eating at home.

Mother Qin avoided the question, "So you still want to go back to Lin Fan?"

"I will not go back to Lin Fan."

"Then why, you left Lin Fan, and Luocheng West also left, can't you go back to your normal life?"

"What is a normal life? Abandon yourself and do things against your will." Qin Zhuang said seriously without flinching.

"Why are you like this? Isn't it good to have a complete family? Like your sister, the husband and wife are harmonious and have a lovely child." Qin's mother tried her best to calm herself and persuaded her patiently.

"Mom, why did you use my sister as an example?" Qin Zhuang's words made Qin's mother stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed in her heart, but she told herself that it was impossible, that he couldn't know.

It's just that what Qin Zhuang said next disappointed her, "Mom, I'm not like Dad..."

"You... What do you mean?" Mother Qin backed away abruptly, and fell down on the sofa behind her.

"Dad married Mom for the sake of the family and the life of a normal person, but later he regretted it, didn't he?"

"No, no, your father loves me, he loves me..." Mother Qin roared.

"I don't deny that when I was young, you were really affectionate, but I don't know when it started. I found that my father often slept in the study and only showed intimacy with you in front of outsiders. At first you thought that your father was having an affair, so You sent people to investigate and found that Dad didn't date anyone, no matter men or women, he just often went to the former university, every month..."

"You, you know?" Qin's mother clenched her hands, and her eyes began to moisten.

"Before my father had an accident, he talked with me. He told me not to do things that hurt others just to cater to others. I was young at that time and didn't understand what my father meant. Later, I learned that my father was leaving I proposed divorce to you before and went to find my lover, but unfortunately the plane crashed and everything came to naught."

"Your father is going to find that man. Why does he have a wife, a daughter and a son, why does he still love others? He is still a man..." The wound that has not been opened for a long time is now dripping with blood, and Mother Qin shed tears.

"Dad said that he was sorry for you, but in the end you, as his wife, sent dad off for the last time, and didn't give that person the chance to see dad for the last time." Qin Zhuang still remembered that on the day of his father's funeral, far away A black figure was seen in the distance.

"So are you complaining about that person, and pity him?" Qin's mother raised her head, her eyes were full of anger mixed with tears of grievance, which distorted the delicate makeup.

"No, I don't pity anyone, and I don't hate anyone. I just want my mother to know that I will not hurt an innocent person and make her unhappy, nor will I give up the person I love and make myself unhappy." Listen After listening to Qin Zhuang's words, it was serious. Qin's mother opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Mom, don't embarrass my younger brother..." Qin Fei'er didn't know when she stood at the door, she seemed to have been standing there for some time, she received a call from her mother, and hurried back, but it was still a bit late, but She heard everything she needed to hear.

"You, you know too?" Qin Fei'er nodded at Qin's mother's words, and she understood the meaning of her mother's words.

"When did you know? You all kept it from me?" Qin's mother covered her face with her voice choked up.

"Mom..." Qin Fei'er walked to her mother, hugged her in her arms, and gently comforted her, "Mom, no matter what, we all love you, and I believe that Dad has feelings for you. You also have your father's life, don't you!"

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled..." Mother Qin knew that her husband only had affection for her, not love.

"Okay, you had a father, didn't you? And you will always be Mrs. Qin." Qin Fei'er continued to comfort her.

"Why? Why does Qin Zhuang want to have a wife and children like his father? " Mother Qin raised her head to look at her son who was still standing there with a resolute face.

Qin Zhuang didn't speak, he knew that what he said would only irritate his mother more, Qin Fei'er clearly motioned for his younger brother to pour a glass of water for his mother, she continued to comfort her mother, "Mom, I have always known some things, and I have worked hard It's useless to help my brother, you know, what my brother thinks, and who he thinks will not change..."

"Is there really no other way?" Mother Qin asked her daughter while holding her hand.

"Mom, brother's happiness is the most important thing, isn't it?" Qin Fei'er helped Qin Zhuang speak, and Qin Zhuang cast a grateful look over him. He knew that his sister had put in a lot of hard work, and he also knew that her sister was the most protective of him. The disappointment of the two women who love him is also what he does not want to see.

Qin Zhuang openly came out to the family. Although his mother was angry, she knew that there was nothing she could do about her son, and she was cold towards her son. Although Qin Zhuang spent more time with her at home for meals, Qin's mother was still not very serious. Talking to him only eased up when the whole family got together during the Spring Festival.And Qin Zhuang had no news of Luo Chengxi. Although Xia Chu said that there was news of Luo Chengxi, he would tell him, but he still sent someone to look for it, but there was no news.Lin Fan also came to him, wanting to get back his former relationship, but was rejected by Qin Zhuang again and again, and gradually became discouraged.

Finally, in the warm spring days, Qin Zhuang received a call from Xia Chu, who said that Luocheng West would be back soon.
