how can i not catch you

Chapter 31

"Mom, look, this is your favorite roasted chicken with chestnuts, Coca-Cola chicken wings, and meat wrapped in eggplant. Try it quickly." Qiao Shu picked up the dishes.

Qiao's mother's bowl was immediately piled up into a hill. She curled her mouth and asked, "Xiao Shu, how long are you going to stay at home this time?"

Qiao Shu hesitated for a few seconds. Although he wanted to spend more time with his mother, he still had a job and a lover in S City that bound him.

"Brother still has to go back to work, can't I stay with you this summer vacation, mom?" Qiao Qianqian acted like a baby to Qiao's mother.

Mother Qiao nodded: "It's enough to have you."

Qiao shallow pursed her mouth and said, "I'm so wronged, I'm sad, mom."

Qiao Shu felt very guilty. He couldn't be with his mother at such a time, but at least Qiao Qianqian could still be with her this summer vacation, but when Qiao Qianqian also left home, there would be only her mother in the house. It's another demolition household. In the community, there are people-to-people communication separated by anti-theft doors. When the time comes, my mother will be even more lonely.

"Stop being coquettish, eat quickly. I have something important to tell you later." Mother Qiao bowed her head to eat after she finished speaking.

Qiao Shu's brother and sister looked at each other, thinking that it must be Qiao's father's business.

After eating, everyone put down their chopsticks and sat on the sofa to chat.

Qiao's mother calmed down and brought up what happened a few months ago.

"Your dad and I are the fate of our parents. We don't have any deep feelings. It's just that the older generation said that poor and lowly couples are always sad. Your grandma thinks that I am weak and can't bear hardships in the future. Let me marry your dad. I agree."

"I have been married to him for more than 20 years. I have you. I have two children. I have no mortgage or car loan. This is the life that others envy the most. However, I didn't expect that the old house would be demolished three years ago. Your father is going to have a vacation with me. Divorce, I said that I can get more properties. I know that the neighbors in the front and back rows have done the same, so I didn't think much about it, so I went through the divorce procedures with your father. Not long after, the old house was demolished, and I got this set house, your dad got two other houses."

"But we never went to go through the marriage formalities. I urged him, but he said he was busy, and then disappeared all day long. When you all left this year, he had a showdown with me."

"It turned out that he had married another woman after divorcing me three years ago. He said that woman was his favorite person. He originally planned to marry her, but he didn't expect to marry me because of his parents' orders." .That woman has been waiting for him for more than 20 years and has been alone. Now I have no worries about food and clothing, a house and a car, and he feels that he doesn’t owe me anything. He needs to make up for his former lover.”

"He also gave me his two suites, one for each of you, he said, he doesn't owe us any more."

Qiao Shu's fingers were crossed on his knees, and his knuckles were cracking hard.He didn't expect his father to say such a thing. Did he really think that his mother had been with him for so many years just because of those few houses?It's obvious that he is tired of this family, and he can't control his own heart, otherwise why didn't he get a divorce earlier!He insisted on an excuse to divorce his mother during the demolition, and had a showdown with his mother when he and his sister were not at home!

"Mom, it's because we don't owe him." Qiao Qianqian clenched her fists and stared at Qiao's mother with a pair of almond eyes. Her face was flushed with excitement, "I will only have you from now on, no shit dad!"

Qiao Shu held his mother's hand, which was covered with calluses, all of which had worked hard for the family! "Mom, you have us."

Qiao Qianqian also hugged Qiao's mother.A family of three is like a silkworm chrysalis, weak and not rushing.

"You guys." Qiao's mother blushed, holding her children's hands and choking, "From now on, I have to find someone I love deeply to be with."

In the afternoon, Qiao Shu asked the company for a few more days of vacation.He intends to spend more time with his mother.

"Brother, do you plan to stay at home for a few more days?" Qiao Qianqian walked to the balcony, holding a magazine in her hand, "Actually, I'm enough to accompany you. You have to earn money now, and the family depends on you." There's a man!"

"Are you reading a magazine while going to the toilet again?" Qiao Shu asked while looking at the magazine in Qiao Qianqian's hand.

Qiao shallowly stuck out her tongue, then raised the magazine and said, "Yes, it's my toilet reading material."

Qiao Shu pulled out the magazine from his sister's hand and knocked her on the head, "Beware of hemorrhoids!"

"Bah, I won't." Qiao Qianqian snatched the magazine.

"I don't even know what's so good about this kind of magazine." Qiao Shu turned and left.

"Just look at handsome guys and beautiful women. Celebrity gossip can relieve depression. Hey, before I went home, I watched "Slaughter of the City" with my classmates. Su Moling in it is really a super beautiful woman. He has great singing skills and good acting skills. I'm so fascinated by her now!" Qiao Qianqian followed behind Qiao Shu and murmured.

"Su Moling?" Qiao Shu became curious when he heard the name again.Hua Yu likes this celebrity, and so does Qiao Qianqian. This person is so charming, can men and women take it all?It stands to reason that girls rarely like same-sex stars, out of their envy and hatred for those who are too perfectly packaged.

Qiao Qianqian handed over the magazine, ready to show off her talents, and started to introduce, "Look, this is Su Moling, isn't she beautiful? Besides, her singing is really ethereal and beautiful, and the release of this year's "Slaughter City" is particularly highly rated. , it is said that she was appointed as the spokesperson for the XX Awards, as well as the Best Actress in the XXX Awards, and..."

When she looked at Qiao Shu again, she found that her brother was pale, and he didn't look excited at all. Instead, he was sad and his eyes were shocked.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Qianqian asked nervously.

Qiao Shu came back to his senses, and he asked with a dry voice, "Who is this man?"

Qiao Qianqian looked at Qiao Shu's finger. It turned out to be an illustration in the article, which showed Su Moling's rumored boyfriend.

"I heard it's a young man surnamed Ye, and the media say he is Su Moling's rumored boyfriend." Qiao Qianqian said, "However, no media found any intimacy between them, but there were two times when Su Moling promoted his works." When we were together, this son-in-law just went to the stage to present flowers. The relationship is not as good as that of our brothers and sisters, haha."

Qiao Shu didn't know how he got back to his room.Lying on the bed, he stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.

In his mind is everything about Ye Yicheng hugging, kissing and pampering him, and in the blink of an eye it is everything about him hugging, kissing and pampering others.

Is Ye Yicheng lying to him?

Was everything he said false?

Was everything he did perfunctory?

……

Don't think about it!

Qiao Shu scratched his hair, trying to clear his chaotic thoughts.

Curled up, he took out his cell phone and called Ye Yicheng, his heart beating wildly.

"Duddoo... Hey, darling, miss me?"

Hearing Ye Yicheng's gentle voice, Qiao Shu suddenly calmed down a lot.He exhaled and was silent for a few seconds.

"What's the matter, darling, is something wrong?" Ye Yicheng's voice suddenly turned worried, as if he was really worried about him.

Qiao Shu held the phone and asked softly, "Where are you?"

"I'm at the company, and I'm planning to go abroad to discuss cooperation in the next two days." Ye Yicheng heard the sound of flipping through documents, mixed with the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Qiao Shu asked, "Then are you busy?"

There was another crackling sound of typing on the keyboard, and then it quieted down. Ye Yicheng's chuckle caused Qiao Shu to feel numb, "Oh, no matter how busy I am, I will never ignore you. Are you afraid that I will neglect you?"

"No." Qiao Shu pursed his lips and squeezed the phone tightly with his fingers.

"That's good, how are you doing at home?" Ye Yicheng asked.

"It's good." Qiao Shu seemed to be stuck in his heart, he was not doing well at all, he wanted to tell Ye Yicheng everything about his family, he wanted to ask Ye Yicheng about the scandal between him and Su Moling.

"Why don't you tell me your home address, and I'll go see my father-in-law." Ye Yicheng's words sound half serious and half teasing.Just as Qiao Shu was about to say something, he heard a female voice coming from the phone.

"Boss Ye, this document needs your signature."

"okay, I get it."

He heard the sound of Ye Yicheng's pen tip sliding across the paper, and Qiao Shu breathed out.

"You are busy, I will not bother you."

Ye Yicheng didn't seem to hear his loss, and after typing on the keyboard, he asked, "When are you coming back?"

"In a few days." Qiao Shu said.

"Then you must call me when you come back, because I miss you very much, and I hope I can hug you as soon as you come back."

"Ah."

Ye Yicheng's voice was still very warm, and everything was so natural, but for some reason, Qiao Shu, who was holding the phone, felt sore in his heart.

Just when he thought Ye Yicheng was going to hang up the phone, Qiao Shu heard him ask again: "Little boy, your birthday is coming soon, isn't it?"

Qiao Shu was taken aback, his birthday was indeed approaching, it would be next week, if Ye Yicheng didn't mention it, he would have forgotten it.These years, he has been working alone, and he has been in a hurry every day. It seems that he has not thought about his birthday. Even on his 24th birthday, he seems to have just bought longevity noodles at the supermarket and cooked them. Poached eggs, a bowl of noodles tasteless.

"I remember it's next week, you'd better come back before then, because I have a surprise for you." Ye Yicheng laughed easily.

"What surprise?" Qiao Shu asked subconsciously.

"Since it's a surprise, why would I tell you?" Ye Yicheng smiled, "Little boy, come back quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay." A warm current passed through Qiao Shu's heart. He didn't expect Ye Yicheng to care so much about him now, and even prepared a surprise for him.

"Then I'm busy, Chirp. Bye." Ye Yicheng sent a soft kiss from the phone, as if he had actually kissed him on the face.

"Bye." Qiao Shu hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Qiao Shu curled his legs, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He should believe his.

He loves him.

He is his.
