lark

The night lights on the road are dim, and there are fewer vehicles as you drive to the outer ring.

Lin Nan recognized that this was not the way back to his home, and asked Qi Yubai, "Are we going to Bohai?"

Qi Yubai hummed, "Your brother will be released within ten days at most, and he will live in your house then."

Lin Nan was taken aback, but didn't immediately understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"When he comes out, I will let someone notify him to come to Benyun to work."

"What?" Lin Nan shook his head and said, "No. He will only cause you trouble."

Qi Yubai was just telling himself not to care about this younger brother anymore, and now he said that Qin Peng should go to work in Benyun, so who the hell should not care about it anymore.

"He's not qualified to be called trouble." Qi Yubai drove the car unhurriedly: "At most, he's called trash."

Although he was talking about his younger brother, Lin Nan felt inexplicably relieved, and besides, this kind of inelegant words still came out of Qi Yubai's mouth.The corners of his eyes were bent, he pressed and closed the switch of the storage box with his fingers, did something useless, and then lowered his eyes and said softly: "He's not troublesome, I am."

I am the trouble of this man in front of me.Because of their own feelings, the two have been entangled for such a long time, which brought Qi Yubai countless troubles.He has to answer calls he doesn't want to answer, to deal with people he doesn't want to see, and now even his own family affairs are forced to be resolved.

Lin Nan knew that it was all because Qi Yubai was actually soft-hearted, even conniving, so he felt even more sorry.

"Okay." Qi Yubai stared at Yelu in front of him, and said calmly, "I didn't say you were a trouble."

As soon as the words were finished, Qi Yubai called, and the phone lit up on the armchair between the two of them.He turned his head and glanced hastily, with a helpless expression on his face, and immediately focused on the road in front of him, and then said to Lin Nan, "Help me pick it up."

"Huh?" Lin Nan was startled, then turned to look at the word "little aunt" on the screen, and said, "Not good."

"It's not for you to pick it up, it's for you to hold it for me. I'm too lazy to find headphones."

"Oh." Only then did Lin Nan understand what he meant. He quickly picked up the phone and clicked to answer it, then leaned over and raised his hands to his ears.

I only heard Qi Yubai ask in the gentlest voice Lin Nan has ever heard: "Auntie, why are you staying up late again?"

A gentle, smiling female voice on the other end of the phone said, "I'm watching dramas, but you haven't slept yet? What are you doing?"

"I am driving."

"Why don't you let Zhang Hong drive at such a late hour? It's dangerous to answer the phone while driving. Remember to connect the bluetooth on the car."

Qi Yubai inadvertently glanced at Lin Nan who was obediently holding up his mobile phone and said with a smile, "Someone is holding the mobile phone for me."

"Hold it for you? Who are you enslaving again, Secretary Qin?"

Qi Yubai laughed softly: "He's new here."

Lin Nan couldn't hear clearly from the side, but from Qi Yubai's eyes and expression, he vaguely guessed that they were talking about himself, and when he heard the word "newcomer", he was full of doubts.

"But you don't need a salary, and you are very obedient." Qi Yubai looked at Lin Nan and said.

Lin Nan blushed suddenly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about..." Bai Shaorong said on the other end of the phone: "Wait for me, I'll go back to the room and tell you that Xiaocan said she was going to sleep, and I have something to tell you."

Qi Yubai's expression was impatient, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and he said, "Let her take another chance."

There was a rustling sound of going up the stairs over there, and the door was opened and closed. After half a minute, Bai Shaorong smiled to himself before saying: "She said that you, as a brother, don't pay much attention to her recently. I haven't seen you looking for her for a month after returning to China. Ask what you are busy with every day. "

Qi Yubai said: "She just cheated me into taking a car, how can I value her little sister?"

Lin Nan thought in his heart, it turned out that Qi Yubai was the same simple and rude to everyone, and he wondered if the girl who received the car would complain about Qi Yubai like a careless person like himself. Take advantage of.

Bai Shaorong smiled and scolded: "Bah, heartless bastard, who wants your car, what kind of car does she want, I can't buy it for her?"

Lin Nan raised his arms for a while and was a little tired, so he changed from both hands to one hand, and his right arm hung down to rest.

Qi Yubai took a look at him and said, "I'm not looking for me so late just to punish me, I'll die if I don't tell you."

Lin Nan wanted to laugh when he heard it, and would say "I'll die if you don't tell me" every now and then. This trick Qi Yubai always tried a hundred times.

"Hey!" Bai Shaorong stopped and said, "Listen to me!"

"Then tell me quickly, my 'assistant' is tired." Qi Yubai glanced at Lin Nan in a good mood, and turned his head away a little, but Lin Nan stuck the phone to him very responsibly. on the ears.Qi Yubai moved half an inch away with a tut, "Hot".

"Oh." Lin Nan then changed the mobile phone in his hand from close to close.

Bai Shaorong hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Are you free on the weekend? Come out for a meal."

"With you and Xiaocan?"

When Lin Nan heard this unfamiliar name, his ears perked up quietly, guessing that it should be the sister he was talking about.

"No..." Bai Shaorong said, "It was the one last time, I sent you the photo."

Qi Yubai frowned immediately, and said, "I have something to do on the weekend."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't skip dinner, right? It's just delaying you for an hour or two."

"I really have something to do. I want to go abroad." Qi Yubai said.

Lin Nan wondered, is Qi Yubai going abroad again?

"You are here to perfuse me again." Bai Shaorong said: "Didn't you promise well before, will you definitely meet me?"

Last week when Qi Yubai was struggling repeatedly, he did impulsively agree to Bai Shaorong, and this time he would give him a chance to meet.Right now, he only spent two or three hours with Lin Nan, but he wanted to regret it again.

When he didn't answer, Bai Shaorong didn't hang up the phone either, and both sides remained silent and stalemate.

Lin Nan didn't know what happened. After waiting for a long time, he finally couldn't help holding the phone in his left hand. He poked Qi Yubai's shoulder with the index finger of his right hand and asked him with his mouth, "Did you hang up?"

Qi Yubai didn't look at him, and remained silent for a few seconds. Bai Shaorong on the other end of the phone called him: "Yubai."

There are only two words.

This name is a curse, it is Qi Yubai's binding curse.Qi Yubai, Qi Yubai, because his father met his mother, he got himself, and he got this name.So it means Father Qi's love for Bai Shaoyin, and it will never change until death.

"I'm here." Qi Yubai said, "Let me think again."

Lin Nan looked at him, and suddenly felt distressed.He didn't know what Qi Yubai was worrying about, and he didn't know that this matter had something to do with him. He only knew that the person in front of him was not very happy now.Like a ghost, he stretched out his fingers to caress Qi Yubai's frowning brow.

As a result, Qi Yubai woke up from deep thinking like an electric shock, and instinctively hid back.

Lin Nan's hand paused in the air, and he put it down in embarrassment, his left hand still held the phone obediently.

Qi Yubai reacted and glanced at him, and said on the phone: "Okay, this time you must think carefully. Do you know that your father—"

"Aunt." Qi Yubai cut her off, "I'll tell you later, it's inconvenient now."

Bai Shaorong didn't say anything more.She knows the nature of her nephew very well, she is usually filial and gentle, and when she really insists on something, she always says the same thing.

After she closed the line first, Qi Yubai took the phone from Lin Nan, and threw the lock screen into the storage compartment.

Lin Nan said awkwardly: "If you want to put something, you can tell me, drive carefully..."

Qi Yubai said, "I know you're tired from lifting."

The car drove them to Bohai, and Lin Nan went to take a bath first.

When he came out, Qi Yubai was still sitting in the living room, raised his head and asked him, "Are you going out tomorrow?"

Lin Nan thought for a while: "It doesn't seem to be necessary, there is nothing to do tomorrow."

"Well." Qi Yubai said, "Some things will be delivered tomorrow, you can collect them at home."

"Is this 'home'?"

Qi Yubai stood up and unbuttoned his shirt, then threw the tie in his hand to him, and said, "Call this place whatever you want."

This is not the point of Lin Nan's words, but he still nodded, indicating that he understood.He originally thought that Qi Yubai would let him go home by himself early tomorrow morning as before, but he didn't expect that he would have another task of receiving couriers at home.

Qi Yubai turned around and walked halfway to the bathroom, turned around and said to him, "Go to bed first, I won't touch you tonight."

Lin Nan was startled, and then his ears turned red again, "Got it."

He really planned to wait for Qi Yubai.

Not long after, there was the sound of splashing water in the bathroom.Lin Nan hadn't been here for a while, he looked around and found that it was still the same as the model house.The empty living room, refrigerator, kitchen, and empty guest bedroom, if not for the bathroom and a few of his own things, he would really suspect that he had traveled through time and space.

There is a suit worn by Qi Yubai on the chair in the master bedroom. It is not the suit worn by Qi Yubai today. The expensive material and fine tailoring are casually placed on the back of the chair. Its owner doesn't even have the patience to hang it up.Tablets and documents in the bedroom are also thrown on the table in a mess, the cap of the fountain pen is not closed, and there is still half a glass of water in the transparent glass that I don’t know when to drink.

Lin Nan went into the bedroom and looked around. He hung up the two suits and two ties that Qi Yubai had taken off on hangers, cleaned up the tabletop, and went to the kitchen to clean the cups and refill most of them. glass of drinking water.If it wasn't for the empty kitchen, he would have wanted to chop some ginger and cook some ginger cola for Qi Yubai to drink to drive away the cold from his body.

After he had packed everything up, Qi Yubai opened the door and entered the room as soon as he sat back on the bed, looked at him with a bath towel wrapped around him, and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Nan sat on the edge of the bed with his calves crossed and his hands resting on the edge of the bed, "I just cleaned up the things in the room."

"Ok?"

Seeing Qi Yubai's suspicious expression, he hurriedly added: "I didn't rummage, I just put away the clothes and the table. By the way, I also poured you another glass of water. If you're thirsty, you can drink it directly." .Next time you remember to pour out the unfinished water before going out, don't bother, or—”

"Okay." Qi Yubai said, "You're very long-winded."

"Okay." Lin Nan stopped carefully, and said, "I'm afraid you might drink bad water."

Qi Yubai took a sip of the water glass as if nothing had happened, then turned his back to him and opened the closet door, took out a set of pajamas and threw it on the bed, paused before closing the closet door, and asked seriously: "My suit Did you take it in?"

Lin Nan followed his movements and glanced in, and said, "It's me, did I do it wrong? Is it wrinkled..." He immediately jumped out of bed and jumped to Qi Yubai's side, reaching in to take out Take a look at the clothes.

Qi Yubai casually turned around and left the cabinet, saying, "I just want to say that you remember to wash it for me tomorrow." It was almost a teasing feeling.

Lin Nan replied, "Got it." Looking back, Qi Yubai took off the bath towel at some point, and simply threw it on the chair again, revealing a smooth figure, and frankly changed into pajamas.

So Lin Nan turned his head away, picked up the towel on the back of the chair and said, "I'll take it to the bathroom for you." Without waiting for Qi Yubai's consent, he ran back to the bathroom with the towel to set it up, slowly Swallowed back to the room.

When Qi Yubai said he wouldn't touch him, he really didn't want to touch him.Even though Lin Nan lay on the inside of the bed with his heart beating like a drum, he just didn't touch him.Lin Nan was a little awkward at first, and flipped lightly on the bed twice.Qi Yubai asked, "Can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Lin Nan said in the dark.

"Let's chat then."

"What are you talking about?"

"You can talk about whatever you want." Qi Yubai said, "I only don't have to get up early tomorrow morning, so you can ask questions tonight."

"Can I ask anything?"

"The company's account balance is not allowed, and my shareholding ratio is not allowed." Qi Yubai said calmly, "We have no listing plan, and these are kept secret for the time being."

Lin Nan said quietly: "I'm not curious about this."

A number plus a unit of [-] million is not attractive, at least for Lin Nan.

"You should be able to ask the rest. But there are at most three questions. You are too long-winded. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep because of your questions."

"..." Lin Nan was quite speechless, "Three is enough."

He turned his head slightly, only to see Qi Yubai with his eyes closed and his face very gentle.Lin Nan boldly moved closer to him, hugged his left arm with both hands, and said softly, "Then I'll ask."

"Just ask."

Qi Yubai didn't break free from his hand, letting him rely on it boldly.The corners of Lin Nan's mouth curled up in the dark, and he looked up at the small shadow cast by his eyelashes: "The first question, why aren't you angry today?"

"What are you angry about?"

"The manager was a bit annoying in the car." Lin Nan still felt angry when he thought about it, "You didn't get angry. And when you were in the hospital, they scratched you, and you didn't get angry."

Qi Yubai said: "They don't deserve my anger. My emotions are also very precious, not everyone can make me emotional."

So I have to thank him for losing his temper?Lin Nan thought, he was really good at making excuses.

He paused, "Then the second question, why didn't you come to me this week? Did I offend you?" He was still a little embarrassed when he asked, but fortunately, Qi Yubai still didn't open his eyes.

"Isn't it okay if I don't look for you?" Qi Yubai asked back, "I'm looking for you to sleep with you, and you will stop for a while after you fall off your horse."

It sounded a bit like sophistry, but Lin Nan chose to accept it. He muffled for a while and whispered: "We also have times when we don't sleep, like tonight..."

Qi Yubai didn't answer any more, and he still cherished words like gold.

Lin Nan waited for a while, and decided to hurry up and ask the last and most important question.

"Also...the last time at the racecourse, why, why did you protect me?"

As soon as the words came out, both of them remained still.This question will come sooner or later, Qi Yubai knew it in his heart, so he finally gave Lin Nan a chance to speak up.But it was still difficult to say the answer, harder than he expected.

Qi Yubai opened his eyes and looked at Lin Nan, only to feel that the pair of eyes in front of him were full of anticipation, as if the two hands holding his arms would change to hold his chest in the next second.

"Why don't you talk?" Lin Nan was anxious.

Qi Yubai paused for a moment, pulled out his arm, and put his arm around Lin Nan's shoulder."I'll do it next time," he said.

This sentence seemed to answer Lin Nan's question, but it didn't seem to.Lin Nan was taken aback when he heard it, and gradually felt that Qi Yubai still didn't give him the answer he wanted, but only expressed that he didn't regret it.But the quota for the three questions has been used up, and Lin Nan knows that he has no chance to ask any more questions.

"You can sleep now."

Qi Yubai pulled up the quilt across his body, almost covering Lin Nan's lips.Lin Nan turned sideways and exposed his left ear to the outside of the quilt. He was a little bit unwilling at the moment, but at the same time he felt very satisfied. He just fell asleep listening to Qi Yubai's breathing.
