He said I was soft and nice

Chapter 1

City A in June is still scorching hot, the sun is shining outside, the cicadas are singing, the breeze is blowing through the leaves, a trace of heat comes in from the window of a milk tea shop on the street, but it is quickly diluted by the air-conditioning inside.

Even so, Qi Ling by the window still inevitably felt a little irritated, not only because of the heat, but also because of the other party's words.

He unbuttoned a button on the collar of his shirt, pulled it open, and let in some air.

"Girlfriend?" He looked at the smiling Xu Zhou across the way, and frowned, "You mean you're in a relationship?"

Xu Zhou, who had been single for three years in college, suddenly left the single. This was something to be happy about, but Qi Ling just found it inexplicable. He observed this for more than half a year, and only recently confirmed that the other party was also gay. He actually said that he was in a relationship ?

Xu Zhou didn't answer his words for a while, instead his eyes fell on the skin exposed by the other party's unbuttoned collar. It was dazzlingly white, with a slender neck and delicate collarbone underneath. Can't look away.

He has always known that Qi Lingsheng is good-looking, his skin is fair and tender, and sometimes he can pinch red marks when he grabs his wrist, he is very delicate.

When he came back to his senses, he quickly looked away, secretly thinking that he was being stupid again. He coughed lightly to cover up, and raised his hand to call for the waiter, "Please lower the temperature of the air conditioner in the store, my friend is a bit hot."

"Also, can our milk tea be served soon? One of them has less ice, thank you."

Qi Ling's stomach has always been bad.

Qi Ling was extremely annoyed by his usual considerate behavior at this moment. He really didn't need a straight man with a girlfriend to care about him so much, "Xu Zhou, you haven't answered my question yet."

Hearing the other party's cold tone, Xu Zhou paused, "What? Are you unhappy that I'm dating? Don't worry, our relationship will not change."

After he finished speaking, he habitually raised his hand to rub Qi Ling's hair, but before his hand touched the end of his hair, the other party immediately turned his head away and refused to let him touch it.

Xu Zhou was stunned by this behavior, Qi Ling would never avoid these little tricks before.

He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, thought of something, and asked jokingly: "Do you mind if I fall in love?"

Qi Ling sensitively sensed the other party's temptation, glanced at him, and said quietly: "Why? I just remembered that I still have to prepare for the tutoring class in the afternoon, and time is running out."

After he confirmed that Xu Zhou was also gay, he made a hint, but it was not obvious. If the other party was a straight man, he would not be able to feel it.

He has always been cautious and does not want to expose his sexuality and cause unnecessary trouble.

"There's nothing else, I'm leaving first." Qi Ling stood up and prepared to leave after speaking.

He has never met a straight man, let alone someone who has a man.

"Wait a minute." Xu Zhou wanted to grab the opponent's hand in desperation, but he was dodged first.

Qi Ling took a step back, raised his eyelids and asked silently.

Xu Zhou sensed Qi Ling's indifference, and said awkwardly, "I haven't had the milk tea yet..."

He also couldn't tell what was going on in his mind. He had faintly sensed Qi Ling's thoughts about him not long ago, and he was shocked and awkward. It went smoothly and got together with others.

Logically speaking, he should feel relaxed with Qi Ling's attitude now, but for some reason, it feels wrong.

By the way, it shouldn't be like this, the other party shouldn't be so calm.

Qi Ling didn't believe that he had a girlfriend at all, did he?

"I really like my girlfriend. I'm going to take her home to meet my parents tomorrow. Why don't you go back with me? My parents like you very much. Then you can help her talk." Xu Zhou tried his best He said easily, "Besides, I want to share such an important moment with my best brother."

Qi Ling remained expressionless: "Not interested."

What does Xu Zhou have to do with bringing his girlfriend home?

The best brother is just a trick for him to get close to Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou was not surprised that Qi Ling would refuse. He threw out a bait, "Didn't you always want Professor Jiang's manuscript? I worked so hard to get it. In my house, please help me. I give it to you."

Professor Jiang is the leader of their profession, and he hasn't published a book for a long time, let alone a manuscript.

"can."

Before Xu Zhou could lobby again, Qi Ling quickly nodded in response.

Qi Ling is preparing the subject of his graduation thesis, which is very close to Professor Jiang's research direction. This manuscript is of great use to him. In comparison, the little lump in his heart is not worth mentioning.

Furthermore, frequent rejections only lead to suspicion.

While the two were chatting, their milk tea was ready, Qi Ling took his share, and raised his phone at Xu Zhou, "The money for the milk tea has been transferred to you."

After finishing speaking, I don't want to miss it any more, I turn around and leave.

The next day, just after Qi Ling replied a message, he received a call from Xu Zhou, saying that he was downstairs.

Qi Ling glanced at the time, at nine in the morning, he should be back in time for lunch.

After getting into the car, Xu Zhou's passenger seated a girl in a pink dress.

Xu Zhou took Yu Chengcheng's hand and introduced to Qi Ling, "This is Yu Chengcheng from the Department of Dance, my girlfriend, Chengcheng, this is Qi Ling, from the Department of Economics and Management, you should know her."

Yu Chengcheng nodded with a smile, "Of course I know him. He's not only a tie grass, but also a top student."

Qi Ling ranked first in grades, and she still looks so outstanding. She is a celebrity in University A, but I heard that she is a bit cold. Compared with Xu Zhou, she still prefers the cheerful type.

Qi Ling looked at the clasped hands of the two people in the front seat. If he really said that he was indifferent, it would be a lie, but after a whole night, he had already accepted this fact.

After greeting people, he sent Xu Zhou a WeChat message, "Xu Zhou, I sent you a document, which is the general preference of uncle and aunt. Please check if there is anything wrong. If there is no problem, my task will be considered finished."

Xu Zhou looked at the document in the phone, his eyes were full of shock, "I'll go, Qi Ling, you are too amazing, I can't even write these myself!"

He knew that Qi Ling was very careful, but he didn't expect the other party's observation skills to be so terrifying, so he...

His heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to think about it any more.

Qi Ling was in the back seat and didn't notice the other person's strange expression, "I'll go to your house to get the things, and I'll come back after saying hello to my uncle and aunt. I still have an appointment."

Xu Zhou subconsciously asked: "What appointment? Today is the weekend, I remember you don't have a tutor."

"I did Liu Cheng a favor earlier, he said he would treat me to dinner."

Liu Cheng is from the next-door department, and Xu Zhou is an old opponent on the court. He is tall, handsome, and agile. Xu Zhou often complains in front of Qi Ling that the opponent intercepts him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou's expression changed. He wanted to say something, but Qi Ling lowered his head long ago, as if he was sending a WeChat message to someone.

Is it Liucheng?

After you have a girlfriend, you have a new goal so soon?How heartless.

Xu Zhou didn't speak any more, and drove with a sullen face.

Yu Chengcheng also noticed that the atmosphere in the car had changed, she was silently depressed, and her hands on the seat belts were tightened. After getting along with Xu Zhou for so long, the other party has always been gentle and polite, and it was the first time she saw Xu Zhou lose his temper.

Moreover, Xu Zhou and Qi Ling felt a little strange.

She glanced at the rearview mirror, and just as her eyes fell on Qi Ling, the other party raised her head as if aware of it, so frightened that she quickly turned her face away and pretended to look out the window.

It's not that Qi Ling doesn't know that Xu Zhou is angry. He might coax him in the past, but now it's completely unnecessary. Besides, he can't have dinner with others?Xu Zhou's possessiveness was misplaced.

The phone vibrated again, and Qi Ling lowered his head and continued to reply to the message.

After deciding on a place to eat with Liu Cheng, the corners of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, and he put down his phone in a happy mood.

If he didn't like Xu Zhou's face more, perhaps Liu Cheng would be the best choice.

When they arrived at Xu Zhou's house, Xu Zhou's face had returned to normal. Qi Ling walked behind the two of them, thinking how to get away quickly in front of Xu Zhou's parents.

But after entering the door, the butler informed that the company had an impromptu meeting today, and the two had already left.

Yu Chengcheng held a bag of gifts in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed, Xu Zhou quickly explained, "My parents are at home on weekends, so yesterday's decision was a little rushed, I didn't have time to tell them that it was my fault, Chengcheng I'm sorry Orange."

He should have made a phone call on the way today, but what happened to Qi Ling disturbed him, so he forgot about it.

Seeing him like this, the housekeeper glanced upstairs, thought for a moment, and then said: "The young master is at home."

Xu Zhou, who was apologizing to Yu Chengcheng, was hoarse for a while, and it took him a while to recover, "My brother is back? Isn't he abroad?"

Hearing this, Qi Ling was a little puzzled, when will Xu Zhou have an older brother?He had never heard it mentioned before, judging by the butler's tone, it should be his brother, right?When he came back from abroad, his younger brother didn't even know about it?

Before he could think clearly, there was a sound of footsteps on the side stairs, followed by a magnetic voice: "It's very noisy."

The voice was not loud, but in the slightly noisy conversation between Xu Zhou and the butler, it fell into Qi Ling's ears word by word. With the laziness of early awakening, it seemed to be close to his ear, let him Inexplicably feel a little itchy.

He looked around and saw a slender man standing at the corner of the stairs. At this time, his hands were on the collar of his shirt, and he was slowly buttoning up the buttons until the top one.

Every move is full of abstinence.

Qi Ling couldn't move his eyes when he saw this elder brother whose appearance was [-]% similar to Xu Zhou's, and even more superior in appearance.

He followed the opponent's hand and landed on the protruding Adam's apple, light-colored lips, and high nose bridge, and then went up, and suddenly stopped——

His eyes met someone's.

Peeking got caught.

Qi Ling covered the emotions in his eyes, and whispered to the other party with an apologetic face: "Sorry, did we disturb you?"

The tone is natural, as if the person who just peeked at others for a long time is not me.

Xu Chen looked at the well-behaved person below, his eyes fixed. Just now, the other person looked at him with interest and directness, which was very different from the polite and well-behaved person now.

Pretty good at pretending.

Xu Chen didn't answer his words, but instead looked at the person in front of him, "What are you arguing about?"

Only then did Xu Zhou come back to his senses, rubbed his eyes, and looked surprised, "Brother, when did you come back! Don't say anything, I'll pick you up!"

"No need." Xu Chen went downstairs and sat on the sofa, his long legs bent casually, "I came back last night, and I was still jet-lagged, and I heard you guys making a scene, what happened?"

Xu Zhou hurriedly brought Yu Chengcheng to his side, "Brother, this is my girlfriend, her name is Yu Chengcheng. I was going to bring her to meet my parents, but I didn't expect them not to be at home."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Qi Ling over again, hugged the other's shoulder intimately, and smiled even wider than before, "This is my best friend Qi Ling!"

Xu Chen's gaze stayed on the hands on Qi Ling's shoulders for a moment, then quickly turned his gaze to look at Yu Chengcheng, "Your daughter?"

Yu Chengcheng nodded embarrassedly.

Yu's family is a well-established enterprise in City A with a solid foundation. It was unexpected that his children would come together with Xu Zhou.

Xu Chen's eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly moved away, "Since he brought you home, he must be responsible for you. If he bullies you in the future, tell me and I will help you deal with him."

"Brother, what are you talking about!" Xu Zhou silently withdrew his hand on Qi Ling's shoulder, and smiled dryly, "Of course I will treat Cheng Cheng well."

Xu Chen didn't comment on his words, turned around and went upstairs, "I have something to do later, you guys play."

"Brother, let's go too. I'm going to take Chengcheng to have a big meal, and she wants to go to the city center to eat barbecue." After Xu Zhou finished speaking, he remembered something and was a little embarrassed, "But the direction of the barbecue restaurant is just opposite to the school. Cheng Cheng, why don't we send Qi Ling back first?"

He actually wanted to see if Qi Ling really made an appointment with Liu Cheng.

Qi Ling frowned and refused, "I can just take a taxi by myself, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"No." Xu Zhou pointed to the big sun outside, "My house is some distance away from where I can get a taxi, and it's too hot to walk there now."

Vehicles in this area are strictly controlled, and foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter.

Qi Ling is a little annoyed, does he look so delicate?

The two were at a stalemate. Xu Chen, who was going upstairs, rubbed his brows, stopped, turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Xu Zhou, you go to dinner with Yu Chengcheng, and I will send your friend back to school later. I will drop by."

Qi Ling immediately fell silent, and Xu Zhou couldn't say anything more.

Qi Ling got into Xu Chen's car, picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Liu Cheng,

[Sorry, I have something to do and I can't make the appointment, sorry. 】

After posting, he looked at Xu Chen next to him, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Thank you for taking me back to school, it's getting late, do you want to have lunch together later? I'll treat you."

Xu Chen fastened his seat belt, his face was cold and distant, "I still have something to do."

"Also, I'm not interested in eating alone with kids."
