He said I was soft and nice

Chapter 61

Xu's old house.

Xu Zhou limped home and was called back by Xu Hanhai before he even had time to go to the hospital to see his injured leg.

He looked at the closed study door in front of him, it was dark, like a hole that could eat people, he thought of Xu Hanhai's cold tone and deep anger on the phone, he couldn't help shivering.

If possible, he just wants to escape far away now, but he can't, everything he has now is obtained by relying on Xu Hanhai, even if he knows that coming here will only hit the opponent's muzzle, he still has to be tough scalp.

He knocked on the door, and an echo sounded from the door, "Get in!"

Xu Zhou clenched the hand hanging by his side, and slowly pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered the door, a teacup flew towards him and hit him directly on the forehead. The scalding hot tea and tea leaves flowed down his face, causing a burst of burning pain.

Especially when Yu Chengcheng slapped him on the face before, the girl's sharp nails cut a small cut in his face, and now he was poured with tea, which was extremely painful.

But he didn't even dare to wipe it off. He straightened his body and stood still in front of Xu Hanhai, and called out in a low voice, "Dad."

"Don't call me dad! I don't have a son like you." Xu Hanhai slapped the table angrily, looked at the helpless person in front of him, and said sharply, "How did I tell you before, to coax Yu Chengcheng, What about you! If you didn’t do it, it’s fine, and you went straight to Yuvina!”

The cooperation between him and the Yu family has reached a preliminary intention. Seeing that the situation is very good, Xu Zhou made this mistake and asked Yu Wei to directly call him at night to cancel the cooperation, and let him wait and see.

Xu Hanhai had no choice but to explain in a low-pitched manner, but was scolded by the old guy instead, making him pissed off, "Xu Zhou, I don't care what method you use, just coax Yu Chengcheng well , I only give you one day."

Yu Wei's appearance obviously means that he can't wait to break up with him. He can still use the excuse that tomorrow is Sunday, but when Monday comes, he can't stop Yu Wei who is determined to vent his anger on his daughter.

Listening to the ultimatum, Xu Zhou wiped the water from his face, and said in a low voice, "Dad, Yu Chengcheng has already said that he wants to break up with me. In one day..."

Totally impossible.

It was because Cheng Cheng had listened to everything he had to say, Xu Zhou knew in his heart that the possibility of him getting back together with Yu Cheng Cheng was almost zero.

"Xu Zhou, do you still want to bargain with me?" Xu Hanhai slammed the document in front of him fiercely in the face, "I racked my brains to delay this day, and if you don't coax people well on Monday, we all It's over!"

He has already invested a lot of human and financial resources in Yu Wei's partners, and Yu Wei doesn't mind losing money in order to vent his anger, but he can't.

The next shareholders' meeting is half a month away. He originally wanted to rely on this cooperation to completely overwhelm Xu Chen. If it were gone, Xu Hanhai would not even dare to think about the result.

Xu Zhou's head was missed by the document, he felt his whole face was swollen, his expensive shirt was also stained with tea in different shades, the pain in his knee made him irritable, he tried hard to suppress the temper in his heart, Pick up the documents on the floor and put them back on the table.

"Dad, without the cooperation of the Yu family, would you be able to overwhelm Xu Chen? I am your son, not a tool."

Xu Zhou's words were vaguely questioning. He used Yu Chengcheng, but Xu Hanhai used him. The meeting with Yu Chengcheng was arranged by Xu Hanhai, even after his father knew about Yu Chengcheng. Maybe after he had a good impression of him, he was ordered to chase him down.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be with Yu Chengcheng, and Qi Ling wouldn't throw himself into Xu Chen's arms.

"What did you say?" Xu Hanhai seemed to have heard something funny, "Xu Zhou, do you still expect me to play a father-son scene with you? You and your mother are as virtuous as your mother, and you have more success than failure. If she hadn't If I want to dance in front of Xu Chen's mother, I won't lose that half of the shares."

"Besides, if you are half as good as Xu Chen, you won't have only this role."

Xu Hanhai's words broke Xu Zhou's defenses completely. He could no longer bear the resentment in his heart, and said in a hateful voice: "Yes, I am not as good as Xu Chen, what about you? After driving him abroad for five years, now he is In just a few months after I came back, even the security guard of the company can give me a face, how are you better than me?"

Xu Zhou is also desperate, "Now you are in such a hurry, not only because you are afraid that the cooperation with the Yu family will be lost, but also because the Yu family will cooperate with Xu Chen instead? Why do you only force me to go to the company to take care of this matter yourself? Press it down?"

Xu Hanhai almost recited Xu Zhou's rebellious words, "Xu Zhou, you eat what I say and drink what I say, and you still dare to talk back to me!"

"If I knew you had this kind of virtue back then, I would have strangled you to death. Get lost, I don't have a son like you!"

The father and son broke up completely, and Xu Zhou was kicked out of the house by Xu Hanhai.

On the other side, Xu Chen listened to the butler's words on the phone, without any unnecessary expression on his face, "Uncle Wang, I understand that Xu Hanhai may not have a good temper recently, so be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen stood on the balcony for a while.

He actually expected that after today's event, Xu Hanhai would turn against Xu Zhou, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

In fact, with Xu Zhou's tolerant temper, it is unlikely that he would disobey Xu Hanhai's intentions, but it is probably because the other party said something that directly drove him into a hurry.

However, the two of them were only arguing on the surface. There is a high probability that Xu Zhou will still follow Xu Hanhai's request after he wakes up. Xu Zhou knows in his heart that as long as Yu Chengcheng can be coaxed well, Xu Hanhai will not mind letting him go again. This "useful son" recognizes it.

Xu Chen tapped lightly on the fence with his fingers, and the corners of his lips curled up. He didn't mind stepping in this muddy water.

After all, an enemy of an enemy is a friend.

After Xu Chen returned to the room, he looked at the person on the bed who was breathing lightly, covered him with the kicked-off quilt, and leaned over to kiss the corner of his lips.

Qi Ling seemed to have sensed it, and was about to open his eyes in a daze, but his eyes were covered with hands, "It's okay, go on to sleep, I'll take care of some things by the side, be good."

Plunging into darkness before his eyes, Qi Ling comprehended Xu Chen's words in a trance, the familiar smell at the tip of his nose made him inexplicably at ease, sleepiness swept over him again, his eyelids closed, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

The next day, he was awakened by the sound of thunder and rain outside the window.

The summer rainstorm came fiercely and quickly, and the wind carried bean-sized raindrops slapping on the windows, making a muffled bang bang, which woke Qi Ling up from his sleep.

He touched the quilt beside him, it was already completely cold, Xu Chen didn't know when he got up.

Qi Ling rubbed his eyes, and opened the curtains of the bedroom, only to see the dense mist pouring down outside, dyeing the windows into a blur, and he could only see the branches swaying in the wind in the downstairs community, and the The wind whistling in my ears.

City A has not seen such heavy rain for a long time.

Qi Ling put on his slippers, opened the bedroom door, and immediately smelled the delicious smell of food. He rushed into the kitchen excitedly, "Xu Chen?"

But the kitchen was empty, except that there were several heat preservation boxes next to the stove, neatly arranged.

Qi Ling reluctantly looked inside and out of the small rental house, and even opened the balcony door foolishly to glance at the corner behind the door.

Of course, nothing.

Qi Ling kicked the newly bought sofa angrily, and reluctantly went back to the bedroom to get his cell phone. When he opened it, it was a WeChat message sent to him by Xu Chen.

[Xu Chen: I went to the company temporarily to deal with some things, and I cooked you a meal. If it gets cold, warm it up yourself, and send me a photo after eating. I want to check. 】

Qi Ling rumpled her messy hair, 【Isn't today Sunday?Why are you still going to the company? 】

After typing these words, he felt a bit complaining. After all, it was normal for Xu Chen to work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays, but he subconsciously thought that Xu Chen would be free after the celebration banquet. stay together.

Unexpectedly, this person went to work overtime again.

Qi Ling bit his lip depressedly, he knew that he would not have gone to bed so early last night, and when Xu Chen went to answer the phone, he fell asleep unconsciously while lying on the bed, thinking about it was annoying.

Although he didn't like it, he deleted the previous message and replied with a good one. At the end, he still added a kitten emoji, but the one with his head down and sighing.

Just as Xu Chen finished signing a document, the phone on his right vibrated. He glanced at the person who sent the message, and told Secretary Sun who was standing next to him, "You should contact those people as soon as possible, especially the core members. I will double the benefits that Xu Hanhai promised them."

Secretary Sun nodded excitedly: "Okay Mr. Xu, I have already sent them a message. At present, most of them are very shaken. Several of them have already given me specific answers, and they all agree."

He thought it was inhumane for Xu Chen to let them brave the storm to work overtime on the big Sunday, but after hearing his boss's plan, he was fine again.

Xu Chen actually wanted to transfer the project that Xu Hanhai was working on to himself. This is not the same as digging meat from Xu Hanhai's heart!The point is that everyone seems to have gotten wind of it. As soon as he sent out the invitation, even before he promised any reward, the other party stood in line.

Today he also heard Xu Chen talking on the phone with Yu's president, apparently discussing the next step of cooperation.

Secretary Sun was simply amazed, his boss is really good, not only ruined the cooperation between Yu's family and Xu Hanhai, but also turned it into his own benefit, which can be described as murderous.

Xu Hanhai must have received the news at this time, must he be mad?

Secretary Sun looked admiring, and was about to say something when Xu Chen turned to look at him inexplicably, "Is there anything else?"

"Ah?" Secretary Sun didn't react a bit, Xu Chen was driving him away?

But he had been waiting by the side for orders before!

"You go out first." Xu Chen handed him the document in his hand, "Come in after 10 minutes."

Secretary Sun walked out of the office with a confused face, and realized belatedly that when he came out, the phone on Mr. Xu's desk seemed to be ringing all the time...

Xu Chen finally had time to pick up the mobile phone next to him, and found that Qi Ling had sent more than a dozen messages, and at a glance, they were all emojis.

From sighing, grievances, to crying, and finally crying loudly, they are all animated pictures, and the one who cried at the end directly flooded the screen.

[Xu Chen: Are you crying? 】

Qi Ling had just taken out the heat preservation box and put it on the table. When he saw the news, he was stunned. Xu Chen really thought he was crying, right?

He just saw that no one was paying attention to him after he had finished washing, so he couldn't hold back and started bombarding him with emojis. Anyway, he knew that Xu Chen would definitely mute his voice if he had a meeting.

But this news, he could feel the other party's seriousness through the screen, the corners of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, his fingertips moved slightly,

[Qi Ling: Yes. 】

After he finished sending this message, he took a bite of his meal, squinted his eyes and continued typing, [I am very sad now, and I need someone to comfort me, and I also need to kiss and hug, otherwise it won't work well. 】

But before he could send it out, the other party called him directly.

Qi Ling answered subconsciously, "Huh?"

Didn't you still send messages just now?

Hearing the vague voice on the other side, Xu Chen should be eating, and there was no cry, so he felt relieved, "Did you just wake up? Are you eating?"

Only then did Qi Ling realize that there was still a mouthful of food in his mouth, and he swallowed it immediately, "No, I'm crying!"

He said seriously, "Xu Chen, I need to be coaxed now to get better."

Xu Chen held back the smile on his lips and teased him, "What if I don't coax you?"

When Qi Ling heard that he was wronged, he couldn't do it, "You ran away today without saying a word, and you still don't want to coax me..."

He was woken up by the thunder in the morning, and subconsciously wanted to hug the people around him, but all of a sudden, the place next to him was already completely cold, and he still remembered the feeling of loss.

Hearing the obviously low voice, Xu Chen immediately said, "No, I'll coax you, don't cry."

Qi Ling was a little sad at first, but when he heard Xu Chen's nervous tone, the curve of his mouth almost couldn't be suppressed.

He blinked, deliberately lowered his voice, and whispered: "Then you coax, I'll listen."

Xu Chen was silent for a while, then hesitantly said: "I still have the toffee from before, let you eat four today?"

Qi Ling almost didn't laugh when he heard it. He bit his lip tightly, but his shoulders couldn't stop shaking. After finally slowing down, his tone became obviously lighter, "Only four? What if I want to eat five?"

"Qi Ling, it's not good to eat too much, that candy is too sweet." Xu Chen tried to discuss with him, "Well, you can eat four first, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back."

After he came back, he naturally had a way to make Qi Ling obey him obediently.

Qi Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Are you coming back today?!"

It was windy and rainy outside, so he thought that Xu Chen would directly rest at his company's residence after get off work.

"Well, come back to make dinner for you." Xu Chen heard the joy in Qi Ling's tone, and his brows and eyes were full of gentle smiles, "I put a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, you can see what you want to eat, I'll give it to you when I come back you do."

"There are also fruits and yogurt in it. You can eat these as you like. Don't eat too much. Leave some in your stomach to eat the rice I cooked."

Hearing this, Qi Ling immediately got up and opened the refrigerator, only to see that it was full of things, which were of different categories. He took a quick look, and found that they were all his favorite dishes, and there was also a small place for his favorite drinks.

You know, his refrigerator was empty before, and he only put a little mineral water in it, and he usually eats takeaway. This is the first time he has seen so many things in his refrigerator.

He couldn't help imagining the scene where Xu Chen put things in the refrigerator bit by bit, and whether he would consider where it would be more convenient to put these things. Qi Ling found that his drinks were all placed on the left hand side, because he was used to using them every time. Do you hold food in your left hand?

Xu Chen even noticed such small details.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and he took out a bottle of lactic acid bacteria from the refrigerator. Just as he was about to open it, Xu Chen said, "Drink after eating."

Qi Ling subconsciously glanced around, did Xu Chen install surveillance at home?

"I guessed it." Xu Chen said helplessly, "I heard you opening the refrigerator."

Every time Qi Ling went to the refrigerator to find something to drink, it had become a habit.

"Wait to drink ice after filling your stomach, good boy."

Qi Ling resentfully put down his drink, went back to the table and sat down, took a big mouthful of food angrily, "I know, I don't drink now."

"Well, then you eat first, I guess I will be home around seven o'clock in the evening."

Qi Ling nodded, "I'll go to the school to find Professor Jiang in the afternoon. I wrote something, and I'll show it to him after I tidy it up."

Xu Chen reminded: "It's raining heavily outside, be careful on the road, and call me if you need something."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ling couldn't help muttering, "I'm not a three-year-old kid who will be blown away by the wind. Besides, I live so close to the school, so what should I pay attention to?"

But when he actually went out, he realized that Xu Chen was right.

After discussing with Professor Jiang, it was almost 06:30 in the afternoon. The heavy rain made the whole sky dark. When Qi Ling walked to the school gate, his trousers were completely wet.

The rain was heavier than when he just went out, and the raindrops fell on the surface of the umbrella, making a crackling sound.

He struggled to protect the materials in his arms, and tried his best to maintain his balance while holding an umbrella.

Qi Ling had to adjust his posture after walking a few steps. He felt that his umbrella was about to be blown away by the strong wind, and the ribs of the umbrella creaked under the weight. Qi Ling was really afraid that it would be scrapped on the spot.

It's better to go back sooner.

When passing by a convenience store, he thought about it, went in and bought a big umbrella, he checked the weather forecast, the rain would not stop for a few days, he didn't know if Xu Chen's umbrella was strong or not, so he bought a spare.

After going out, he looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, Xu Chen said he would be home after seven o'clock, Qi Ling thought for a while, and turned into the alley next to him.

After he was followed and called to the police last time, there were obviously more cameras here. He sometimes walked from here in a hurry. Now it is windy and rainy. Walking this small alley is much easier than the main road. Umbrellas are less strenuous.

Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the wet clothes, and quickened his pace.

When he passed a corner again, he suddenly heard a faint sound of plastic rubbing.

Qi Ling paused for a moment, thinking that someone was walking this way wearing a raincoat, but when he looked back, there was no one.

He frowned, the rain was too loud, and he was hallucinating?

After another detour, Qi Ling glanced back from the corner of his eye. The street lamp by the wall shone on the puddles gathered on the ground, reflecting a blurred figure, and a corner of the black raincoat was also exposed at the corner.

Judging by the figure, the other party is a little taller than him.

His intuition told Qi Ling that this person was the one who followed him last time. After so many days of peace, he thought that what happened that time was his hallucination.

Qi Ling stood against the wall, remembering Xu Chen's previous instructions, quickly called the police, explained the situation briefly under the cover of the sound of rain, and just hung up the phone when he heard footsteps getting closer.

If in the past, because of the shadow of being followed, Qi Ling would not have the guts to think of catching this person, and would have run away immediately.

But now he is not timid at all, there is a small restaurant not far from here, if something happens, he only needs to call a few times, and someone will hear it.

Moreover, he didn't want to worry about taking this road in the future, as long as he took the initiative, he would not be at a disadvantage.

Qi Ling's eyes were fixed, he held the newly bought umbrella tightly, and smashed it down hard the moment the man appeared.

He deliberately avoided the key position of the head, and the hard umbrella handle hit the opponent's shoulder, and the person suddenly let out a cry of pain, and even staggered.

Qi Ling was stunned when he heard this familiar voice, "Xu Zhou?"

The man in the black raincoat was holding his shoulders in pain, and raised his head, revealing his haggard and pale face. The left side of his face was red and swollen, and there was a small wound that seemed to be inflamed. Fingerprints could still be seen vaguely around.

If he hadn't heard Xu Zhou's voice first, Qi Ling might not be able to recognize the person in front of him immediately.

But he still didn't take it lightly, wiped the rain from his face, and said coldly: "Xu Zhou, are you following me?"

For the sake of convenience, he put away the umbrella he was holding before. At this time, he could only use the eaves next to him to barely shelter from the rain, but the rain was too heavy, and he was still thoroughly drenched.

However, Xu Zhou's condition was obviously much worse than his, and he seemed to be in a trance.

He looked at Qi Ling and subconsciously wanted to get closer, but Qi Ling blocked his way with the umbrella in his hand, "Xu Zhou, you were the one who followed me here last time, right? What do you want to do?"

Xu Zhou looked at Qi Ling with a defensive face, and smiled wryly, "Last time, I just watched you come out of my brother's room after taking a shower. I thought you had something, so I couldn't help but want to follow you. I didn't expect you to be so sensitive. found me."

Only now did he realize that there might have been an ambiguous relationship between the two at that time, but he was blindly confident and felt it was impossible.

"If only I could have stopped it then." Xu Zhou murmured.

Qi Ling watched Xu Zhou talking to himself there, guessing when the police would arrive, and didn't speak rashly.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Zhou spoke even more vigorously, "I came to you this time to make it clear to you that Yu Chengcheng and I are really over, can you stay with me? I really love you you."

He thought of something, and pulled his hair in pain, "Actually, I should have realized my feelings for you as early as your cold reaction to me after I got a girlfriend, but I don't think having a girlfriend will affect our relationship." relationship, we can still be like before..."

He didn't expect that this would make the two go further and further apart.

"Qi Ling, give me one more chance, and I promise to treat you well, please." Xu Zhou's posture was extremely humble, his previous arrogance completely fell into the dust, his whole body was decadent and painful.

Qi Ling saw all this in his eyes, but there was no superfluous expression on his face. He waited for Xu Zhou to finish speaking, and replied lightly: "Xu Zhou, are you desperate?"

Xu Zhou's condition is very bad, his face is full of injuries, the one on his forehead is the most serious, it seems that he didn't have time to do any treatment, his walking posture is also very strange, he is limping, he was hit by his umbrella just now He almost fell to the ground, and at this moment he was able to stabilize his figure by leaning on the wall.

Such Xu Zhou did not threaten him at all.

Seeing Qi Ling's indifferent expression, Xu Zhou gritted his teeth, "You are really cruel. I don't think I have done anything to hurt you. I have been trying my best to follow your wishes, but you don't even have a chance to be friends. Leave it to me."

"Xu Zhou, after I know what you did to Xu Chen, we are doomed to be on opposite sides." Qi Ling said in a cold tone, "Also, don't pretend to be so affectionate. You come to me now for other purposes. Bar!"

There was a mocking smile on Qi Ling's lips, "Why, Yu Chengcheng completely rejected your reunion? You didn't fool her with your appearance, so you came to me?"

Otherwise, Xu Zhou couldn't have dragged his wounds away to get sympathy.

He knew how important the Yu family was to Xu Zhou. Now that he lost Yu Chengcheng's support, Xu Zhou was having a hard time in front of Xu Hanhai. In the end, he had no choice but to come to him to try his luck.

"Do you still expect me to get you something from Xu Chen so that you can turn around?"

After Qi Ling finished speaking, the affection on Xu Zhou's face completely disappeared. He clenched his hand hanging by his side tightly, and looked at Qi Ling with a trace of resentment in his eyes, "So, you really don't give me a chance to be right? ?"

Qi Ling saw that Xu Zhou's mind was punctured and he stopped pretending to be with him. He sneered and said, "Why should I give you a chance? My pearls don't want to pick up fish eyes? Xu Chen is a thousand times better than you. I can't be separated from him." , don't worry about it."

Hearing Qi Ling's sarcasm and his unreserved support for Xu Chen, Xu Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "You were really completely bought by Xu Chen."

He was annoyed and furious, but he also knew that in his current state, he could not get any benefits by going head-to-head. Thinking of something, he suddenly smiled strangely, "Even if Xu Chen has ulterior motives for you? Don't you care?"

"You don't have to try to sow discord." Qi Ling's face turned cold, "I won't listen to your nonsense."

Xu Zhou saw his expression change, and the smile on the corner of his lips grew bigger, "Qi Ling, you really fell in love with him! With my brother's cold-hearted temperament, why do you think he would fall in love with him? You? He must have sensed my thoughts on you long ago, and deliberately flirted with you to stimulate me. "

"Look, he has fulfilled his wish now. I was provoked by you and said those words in front of Yu Chengcheng, which completely broke the relationship between the Yu family and us, and instead became enemies."

"Qi Ling, who do you think is the biggest beneficiary?"

The last sentence made Qi Ling freeze in place. He tried his best to ignore the strange feeling in his heart, and listened to the faint sound of chaotic footsteps, but did not speak.

Xu Zhou looked at the straight man standing in the rain, and clicked his tongue, "If I were Xu Chen, I would not give up this opportunity to make a complete comeback. He is probably negotiating cooperation with Yu Wei now, which is really a good plan." .”

"Now that I think about it, I am indeed inferior to him. I can fool you around and make you willing to become his pawn without knowing it."

"Enough!" Qi Ling interrupted him, "Xu Zhou, do you think these little tricks will work? I've already called the police, and you can tell the police what's left."

Xu Zhou's face was full of indifferent smiles, "Whatever you want, I just think you are so pitiful, I kindly remind you."

He looked at Qi Ling's pale face, and said in a sympathetic tone, "Qi Ling, don't lie to yourself, I know you broke up with your family and took Xu Chen as your reliance, but he won't give you back at all. A home, he's just using you."

"Hahaha, think about it now, you are much more pitiful than me, Qi Ling!"

After the police arrived, they took away the mad-looking Xu Zhou. The alley became quiet except for the continuous sound of rain. Qi Ling stood in the rain for a while, wiped the water off his face, and took Pick up the umbrella on the ground and go back.

What Xu Zhou said was wrong, he has a family.

When Xu Chen came back from the company and opened the door, he saw that the room was dark, the curtains in the living room were drawn, and only a gleam of light could be seen from the cracks, but due to the heavy rain, the sky outside was also very dark, so nothing could be done at all. The role of lighting.

He paused, subconsciously walked towards the bedroom, he thought Qi Ling was sleeping.

But as soon as he took a step, he realized something was wrong.

He turned his head abruptly, and vaguely saw a figure curled up in the corner by the door, curling himself into a small ball, with his head buried deep in his arms, in that self-enclosed posture.

The other party noticed the noise at the door, raised his head, saw that it was him, he let out a sigh of relief, and instead of squatting down, he stood up straight with the door open, as if actively breaking some kind of shackles on his body, and walked towards him. come over,

"Xu Chen, welcome home."
