He said I was soft and nice

Chapter 14

Xu Zhou, who was behind him, looked at the backs of the two walking away hand in hand, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

He didn't know why his brother came to find fault with him over and over again. He really wanted to forcefully pull Qi Ling away from him, but just as he was about to do it, his father Xu Hanhai's words came to mind,

"Your brother's project was really revived by him. The prospect is good. You are also on vacation. After playing for a few days, go to the company to learn from him and study the information he sent you. Don't embarrass me."

"It's a bit unreasonable for me to do this. Don't fight with your brother and get the truth out."

This made Xu Zhou stop all of a sudden.

He has seen that project, and it gradually tends to become the company's most potential project, and everyone's eyes are on it. His father inserted/included him just to let him show his face in the company and leave a mark for everyone. Good impression, paving the way for him to take charge of the Xu family.

He couldn't argue with Xu Chen here.

Xu Zhou clenched his hands into fists and could only grit his teeth and watch Qi Ling being taken away.

Compared to Xu Zhou's anger, Qi Ling's face was full of joy, his steps were much lighter, and he didn't see the little aggrieved look who just hid behind Xu Chen.

He looked at the hands they were clasping, the corners of his lips curled up, and he quietly exerted some force to grasp it even tighter.

Xu Chen's steps froze slightly, but soon returned to normal. He wanted to let go of his hand, but Qi Ling didn't let go, so he didn't try again.

Yan Hao, who was leaning next to the car, saw the two of them and whistled, "Hey, did you abduct him back?"

Xu Chen's action was fast enough.

Xu Chen opened the back seat door, and after Qi Ling got in, he still held his hand and looked at him suspiciously, as if asking him why he didn't come up.

Xu Chen looked at the hands that the two had been clasping, his eyes paused for a moment, but he quickly recovered, and said in a low voice, "I'll explain to Yan Hao, and I'll be here later."

It was cool in the car, and he was afraid that Qi Ling would be spoiled by the heat outside.

Qi Ling curled his lips, and reluctantly let go, and when his hands were about to separate, he couldn't hold back, hooked Xu Chen's palms, and said softly: "Then can you hurry up? "

Yan Hao looked clearly from the side, and looked at Xu Chen with narrow eyes, "Still clingy?"

This reliance, I really don't know what Xu Chen was bothering about before?With Qi Ling's attitude, shouldn't Xu Chen have embraced the beauty long ago?

Xu Chen ignored Yan Hao's teasing, and glanced in Xu Zhou's direction, but there was no one there, and he seemed to have left.

He withdrew his gaze and explained: "Qi Ling had some conflicts with Xu Zhou's friends. Instead of being deadlocked, it's better for us to have a relationship and go along the way anyway."

"Stop wasting time, let's go!"

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he got into the back seat.

Yan Hao's eyes widened, "Hey, why are you running behind? You really treat me like a driver!"

In the end, Yan Hao drove in the front seat with a gloomy expression, while the two sat upright in the back seat, looking at each other silently.

Qi Ling looked at the person next to him from the corner of his eye, and saw that the other person was dozing off with his eyes closed, and he didn't want to explain to him why he ignored him for so many days.

He gritted his teeth angrily, and quietly moved his butt to the right while no one was paying attention.

Xu Chen's posture remained unchanged.

Qi Ling raised his eyebrows and moved again. This time, it was a big step. The distance between the two people was almost as wide as two fingers. He only needed to lean slightly to touch each other.

However, he did not act rashly, but lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on Xu Chen's left hand. His fingers were long and strong, with well-defined joints. When holding hands, he liked to hold his hand in his palm, which could be completely covered. It will be uncomfortable, but it will only make people feel at ease.

Qi Ling rubbed the back of his hand subconsciously, the previous touch seemed to have not faded away, it was dry and warm, with the unique warmth of skin-to-skin contact.

When it was over, he wanted to hold hands again.

He carefully glanced at the person next to him, who was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, his posture relaxed, presumably Xu Chen wouldn't notice if he pretended to touch his hand inadvertently, right?

He moved his fingertips slightly, and slowly leaned towards Xu Chen. When he saw that he was about to touch him, the person who had been quiet all this time suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

The voice was not high, but Qi Ling withdrew his hand guiltily in an instant.

Xu Chen turned his head and looked at the person who was close at hand with an inexplicable expression, "Isn't it hot?"

Qi Ling didn't understand what Xu Chen meant, didn't he just keep him from getting so close?But he doesn't!

"Huh?" A trace of just-right doubt flashed across his face, and he stretched out his hand to check the air outlet in a serious manner, "It's not hot? Brother Yan's air conditioner is very good."

Yan Hao in the front seat only felt happy physically and mentally when he heard this voice, and he was a good driver.

Moreover, the temperature is 17°C, so it is logically impossible to be hot.

"Xu Chen, do you think it's hot? How about I lower the temperature." Yan Hao wanted to change the temperature, but before he could do it, Xu Chen said forcefully, "No need."

The corners of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, and he couldn't touch it. Why don't you let him sit closer?

However, is it necessary for Xu Chen to be so tense?Sitting next to him, he could feel this person's discomfort. Even after he approached, Xu Chen turned his head and looked out the window without giving him an extra look.

Seeing the other party's resistance, Qi Ling simply turned his face away and looked at him openly. Although he could only see the side face, it was better than nothing.

When the other party was about to lose his temper, Qi Ling spoke ahead of time: "Xu Chen, how did you know that I was going to a resort hotel?"

The two only spoke a few words when they met, and he promised not to reveal his itinerary.

Moreover, they came together by such a coincidence?

Qi Ling never believed in such a coincidence, most of it was man-made.

Hearing this, Yan Hao subconsciously said: "Oh, Xu Chen knew that Xu Zhou wanted to bring you here, so..."

"Let's relax together too." Xu Chen picked up Yan Hao's words, "Yan Hao is the owner of that hotel, Xu Zhou approached him, and he told me by the way."

Xu Chen's expression was as usual, "It just so happens that I've been under a lot of work pressure recently, so I'm here."

The words were tight, and it was impossible to see that Xu Chen's trip had any connection with Qi Ling.

Yan Hao looked at Xu Chen who was still holding on, and responded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are right."

Qi Ling said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. Just when Xu Chen thought the matter was over, Qi Ling said suddenly, "Why did you ignore me before?"

After finishing speaking, she still stared at him closely, as if he would not give up until he gave an answer.

"busy."

Xu Chen only gave Jian Jian a word.

Qi Ling thought that Xu Chen would explain it to him well, but he didn't expect that it would be the same excuse, why would he not answer a single call when he was so busy?

He came up with anger in his heart, and asked sullenly, "Then you shouldn't be busy these days?"

Being in the same hotel, he couldn't believe that he couldn't catch Xu Chen.

Xu Chen couldn't hear the meaning behind his words, so he could only remain silent.

He didn't know the purpose of his trip, and he didn't know why he couldn't help taking Qi Ling away when he saw him being bullied, which created a situation he couldn't handle now.

Qi Ling knew that he was a little anxious, and explained: "I'm not forcing you, it's just that you suddenly ignored me, and I panicked."

As he talked, he felt a little wronged, why on earth should he be so angry!

He lowered his head and bit his lips: "If you think I send too many messages and find me annoying, just tell me, I won't bother you."

Xu Chen should obviously breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as he said yes, there was a high probability that the contact between the two would be severed.

But at this moment, Xu Chen realized that he was reluctant.

The grievance and disappointment in the other party's tone hit his heart straight, making his heart throb, his throat rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's not annoying."

Every time he saw Qi Ling's news, he felt much lighter, even if the other party told him about trivial things, such as what he ate today, Xiao Bai seemed to gain weight again when he went to feed the cat...

These things made him feel in a trance that he had also participated in the life of the other party, but when he came back to his senses, there were only cold words.

Qi Ling gave him an intimate and illusory feeling, like a bait, inducing him to make all this come true.

Qi Ling saw Xu Chen's expression relax a little, looked up at him, and said cautiously: "Then can I go to you in the next few days?"

Xu Chen sighed, his tone full of helplessness: "Yes, I'm free these few days."

It seemed that he couldn't refuse Qi Ling too many times, and he must be the one who softened in the end.

Qi Ling's face became brighter visible to the naked eye, and he pulled Xu Chen's clothes skillfully with his hands, shaking them coquettishly, "Then can I live next door to you?"

Pushing forward is his forte.

Xu Chen didn't respond this time, the adjacent room was dangerous and ambiguous, not suitable.

Qi Ling pursed his lips, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth disappeared a lot, "Xu Zhou's friends don't welcome me, and it's embarrassing for me to live too close to them, but I don't want to live alone..."

These words reminded Xu Chen of the scene where Qi Ling was bullied and hid behind him. The other party was aggressive, and he didn't know how much Qi Ling had been wronged during the short journey before, and Xu Zhou would get along with him.

It is normal for Qi Ling to seek refuge from him.

However, he always felt that there was something in Qi Ling's words, and living next door to him was not as simple as simply wanting someone to accompany him.

When Xu Chen hesitated for a while, Yan Hao couldn't stand it anymore, "I said Xu Chen, what are you so concerned about? If you live next door, it's right next door! How many rooms are there in my hotel? It's easier to upgrade you to a suite. Just live together!"

Qi Ling's eyes lit up, "Is it really possible? Thank you Brother Yan!"

Xu Chen: "..."
