Chapter 38
"Okay, you go out quickly, you can't rest on the bed with a limping leg, what are you wandering around here." Chu Lie drove people out: "I can do it myself."
"I've been lying down all day." Qin Long said with a bitter face: "Besides, I'm leaning against the cabinet like this, so my injured ankle won't be stressed. Don't be afraid. I'll wash and chop the vegetables for you, and I'll do the rest of the work. After all Your hand is still hurt."
A pot of water was burning on the stove, and the fish was about to be steamed.
It's winter, and the weather is getting colder day by day.It was just getting dark, and without the temperature of the sun, it seemed to be running downhill.Instead, the flames jumping from inch to inch in the kitchen, licking the bottom of the pot, slowly made a hissing sound of water, and steamed out a moist warmth.
"It turns out that I still don't quite understand how grandpa came back to the town from the big city at a young age until now." Chu Lie was a little dazed looking at the faintly visible steam on the steamer: "I seem to suddenly understand it recently. Like this My life seems ordinary, but isn’t life just as ordinary as it is.”
Qin Long was washing cabbage in the sink, didn't answer at first, and spoke after half a minute: "Maybe it's because of the different growth background. I have never been able to count on anyone since I was a child, and I don't have good conditions to let me ignore it." Worry-free growth of livelihood. What I want is what I want to fight for. I have lived an ordinary life for too long, and I may yearn for it when I am old, but for now, it is still too early point."
"I remember," Chu Lie hesitated: "When the company was first established, you said that your parents were no longer together."
"Leave." Qin Long said lightly without emotion: "When I was very young."
"Sorry." Chu Lie rested his fingers on the edge of the stove, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I'm not sorry," Qin Long really didn't feel sad: "I don't have a deep impression. I just remember that I don't look like my dad since I was born. He didn't take it to heart at first, but later the neighbors kept telling me He gossips, and as I get older, I see the difference more and more. He becomes suspicious. I don’t remember why, anyway, that time he and my mother had a particularly fierce quarrel. He scolded my mother, those words It’s too ugly, so I won’t say it, anyway, it’s similar to being unruly. My mother was furious, and she admitted that I was not his son. Then they divorced.”
"Then..." Chu Lie turned his face to look at the man, unable to say what he wanted to ask.
"Do you want to ask, who is my biological father?" Qin Long had a good understanding at the moment: "Frankly speaking, I don't know, because I don't care at all. I only know that it shouldn't be near us, because when I was 16 Before I left home, no man came to my house to look for her. She never went out on a date or anything like that. According to a neighbor's rumor," the man suddenly smiled and shook his head: "It is said that she had a dewy marriage with a passing businessman. It was originally planned to build a factory near our home, but then it was nothing but my mother who stole the chicken and made a fortune."
Chu Lie was a little embarrassed, but also a little uncontrollable emotional tumbling.He knew that Qin Long didn't need sympathy, but such a background was really embarrassing.
The young man was a bit hesitant, and he couldn't hide the softness in his eyes: "My parents left early, and I have been living with my grandparents, and they have treated me very well."
"I can see it." The indifference on Qin Long's face was diluted by a smile: "At first glance, you are a very well-educated child, completely different from the wild ones like us."
"It's not like what you said." Chu Lie was embarrassed by him, and the tips of his ears were a little red: "I admire you for breaking into a world by yourself."
"Really?" Qin Long didn't follow this question deeply, because he knew that if he continued to talk, he would touch sensitive issues immediately, and the harmonious and warm moments between the two would soon disappear: "Wolf nature. Northwest A child who grew up. By the way, have you ever seen wolves? I’m not talking about the ones kept in captivity in the zoo, but the wild ones. You can tell that they are completely different when you look at them.”
"How could it be possible?" Chu Lie raised his eyebrows, full of interest: "Is it different?"
Qin Long just looked at him like that, and seeing the young man felt uncomfortable, he couldn't hold back his face: "What's the matter, fish scales are on my face?"
"The water is boiling." Qin Long looked away with a smile, pointed to the steamer and reminded him: "May I help you put the fish plate in?"
"There is a special tool for holding the plate, why do you just put it? The steam is so hot." Chu Lie turned around to get the tool, and Qin Long quickly put the plate and the fish in it.
"No need. I have thick skin." Qin Long turned around, and stretched out a big hand in front of the young man's eyes: "Don't believe me, check it out?"
"Isn't this a bit red?" Chu Lie pointed at his index finger suspiciously: "Is it interesting to be brave?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Long suddenly laughed, that kind of kind of naughty and ruffian, not like a good person's way of laughing.
The alarm bells in Chu Lie's heart rang loudly. Before he could figure it out, Qin Long raised his right hand under inspection, grabbed the young man's earlobe upwards, shook it affectionately and quickly let go: "This is not hot anymore."
Chu Lie was dumbfounded, and subconsciously covered his hot ears: "How can there be such..." Wasn't it so hot that he pulled his earlobe?What does this person mean? !
At such an ambiguous moment, Grandpa Chu raised his voice in the living room and called out: "Xiao Qin, come out and play chess with me."
"Okay." Qin Long spread his hands innocently: "Grandpa called me. But I have cut everything that needs to be cut."
Chu Lie just covered his ears and stared at him so stupidly. Not only was he not intimidating, but if he looked carefully, he could see that the young man's eyes were slightly red, and he was unintentionally charming.
When passing by, Qin Long added with a smile: "It's really not hot anymore. It works."
Outside the open kitchen door, Qin Long and Grandpa Chu were chatting and laughing from time to time.
Chu Lie was in a mess.
At dinner time, the two sick patients drank Grandpa Chu's 20-year-old yellow rice wine despite dissuasion.
Chu Lie really has nothing to do with his grandfather: "Mr. Chu, you have forgotten the doctor's orders about the condition of your leg?"
Grandpa Chu smiled, like a child who had succeeded in a conspiracy, and his eyebrows were beaming: "Isn't this a guest at home? Besides, what's the matter with drinking a little rice wine once in a while, it's for health preservation."
"What kind of guest." Chu Lie frowned: "This is also a sick number. And you, Qin Long, your feet are not healed yet, and you can't drink."
"Drinking alcohol promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis." Qin Long and Grandpa Chu stood on the same front, smiling: "Isn't it, Grandpa?"
Grandpa Chu nodded straightly: "Xiao Qin, let me tell you, I have treasured ten cans of wine and plan to drink them when my daughter gets married—"
"Grandpa!" The blood was surging, Chu Lie really didn't need to drink to blush at this moment: "You two drink as much as you want, anyway, it's useless for me to talk. Grandpa, don't mention those things that you have."
"Huh?" Qin Long didn't know if it was true or on purpose: "I only know that in the south of the Yangtze River, after giving birth to a daughter, they will bury a jar of daughter's red wine, and dig it up and drink it when the daughter is married. I really don't know about the birth of a boy. So too."
Grandpa Chu smiled and waved his hands: "Hey, it's not that my nannie's grandma really wants a girl doll. She was born with red lips and white teeth, like a beautiful doll. Everyone loves her. Later, her parents had an accident. Send it to us, and I hid ten cans of wine that year. Unfortunately, his grandma didn't see her daughter get married when she died."
"Yes." Qin Long picked up his glass and took a sip slowly: "There will be someone who will truly love him and take care of him for the rest of his life."
Chu Lie was terrified by the man's sweeping eyes, so he simply avoided his eyes and concentrated on eating.
At eight o'clock, Grandpa Chu went back to his room to sleep.
After all, the old man is old, and he drank some wine, no matter how hard he tried, he could still see the fatigue.
"Xiao Qin, if you young people talk, my old man will go to bed first. It's useless when you're old. By the way, you turn on the TV and don't worry about me. My ears are bad." Grandpa Chu pointed to his ear : "If you wear a hearing aid, take it off after you sleep, and you can't hear anything. It won't disturb me."
Qin Long nodded: "Yes, grandpa, rest early."
After 10 minutes, Chu Lie came out of the old man's room and closed the door behind him.
The moment he raised his eyes, his eyes met the eyes of the man sitting on the sofa.
Those eyes looked over without blinking, dark and focused, making people flustered.
"You." Chu Lie cleared his throat, avoiding his eyes: "Why don't you go and rest earlier after drinking?"
"Ninny." The low, almost whispering address was caught off guard, like the most secret whisper among lovers.
"Don't call me that!" Chu Lie exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Goosebumps are all over."
"I think it sounds good." Qin Long smiled and said stubbornly: "Ninny."
Chu Lie is also speechless about men's bad taste: "My grandma gave me a nickname, stop making fun of me."
"Ninny." Qin Long called out again, then stood up and walked over two steps: "I didn't make fun of you, I really like you. Can I call you that in the future?"
"No!" Chu Lie shook his head greatly without even thinking about it.
"Don't shake it, it makes me dizzy." The distance between the two is already very close, within reach of reaching out.
Chu Lie took a step back in panic.Behind him was the door of Grandpa Chu's bedroom, and he didn't dare to back away: "If you drink too much, go back to sleep honestly, and your ankle won't feel better?"
"I don't want to." Qin Long grinned, raised an index finger and shook it: "Let me tell you, I was afraid that my ankle would heal too quickly. When you left the hotel that night, I twisted it several times by myself. How could the sky be swollen?"
"Are you crazy?" Chu Lie didn't know what mood to use to face this person: "Obviously, after a night's rest and spraying some medicine, it will be fine. What's going on in your mind?"
"Miss you." Qin Long took another step closer, the two of them were so close, Chu Lie had nowhere to retreat, his breath was filled with the faint smell of alcohol.
"Baby, I only think of you."
"Qin Long, don't be like this." Chu Lie was in chaos.He wasn't afraid to quarrel with Qin Long or even head-to-head, but he was afraid of such a man who seemed to show all his sincerity.But what was ridiculous was just as if: "Sit over and talk."
"I don't." Qin Long refused to back down: "Just say it here."
"No." A bit embarrassed.After Qin Long approached, the oppressive feeling was too strong, Chu Lie subconsciously reached out his hand to his chest, preventing him from any possible approach: "My grandpa is sleeping."
"Grandpa told me that he couldn't hear anything after taking off his hearing aid." Qin Long was too cunning, and those emotions that had been suppressed and carefully treasured all the time burst out through alcohol: "I like that you call me Qin Long, don't you?" President Qin."
The man grabbed the young man's left hand, ignoring the other's weak struggle, and locked his fingers tightly by his side: "Ninny, I like you."
