Chapter 42
Ever since fireworks and firecrackers were banned on New Year's Eve in country C, Chinese New Year has become more and more boring.Fortunately, specific areas have been designated for citizens to set off fireworks, and there will be a fireworks display every New Year's Eve in the Gregorian calendar, which can be a feast for the eyes.
This year's Chinese New Year is still only Qiao Shangsi and He Qiduo together, but he is very pleased.
In the past few years, he lived alone, but after Yu Qian found Xiang Wanyi, he called him to celebrate the New Year together every year, and the name was to fear that he would be deserted.
Now that Qiao Shangsi is back, He Qiduo finally doesn't have to be forced to eat dog food.
They didn't cook the New Year's Eve dinner, they just made some dumplings, and Qiao Shangsi put a coin in it in a serious manner when making the dumplings.
He Qiduo looked a little funny at his rare and childish behavior, "I'm not afraid of breaking my teeth."
Qiao Shangsi looked soft, "Six years ago, you made a coin dumpling."
"You still remember." Seeing some flour on his face, He Qiduo stretched out his hand to help him wipe it off, but he forgot that he also had flour on his hands, and rubbed more and more, so he couldn't help laughing.
Qiao Shangsi raised his head in doubt, his eyes were so clear that there was no trace of impurities, and he just watched He Qiduo quietly, as if he was the only one in the world who could see him.
"I remember everything about you."
The atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, He Qiduo coughed lightly, and used to change the subject to cover up the sudden strangeness in his heart, "This much should be enough for us to eat."
After the dumplings were cooked, Qiao Shangsi picked one up and took a bite. When he hit something hard, he frowned and saw that it was a coin he had wrapped in himself.
He Qiduo looked at him with a smile on his face, "Not bad."
Qiao Shangsi put the remaining half in He Qiduo bowl without hesitation, "You eat."
He Qi raised his eyebrows, "Give me what you've eaten?"
"No." Qiao Shangsi hurriedly explained, "I'm happy if you have good luck, I don't need it."
Seeing that He Jiduo didn't speak, he was a little flustered, "If you dislike..."
"How could it be?" He Qiduo hooked the corners of his lips, took out a coin, and ate half of the dumpling, "I just suddenly realized that no one seemed to treat me so well."
Qiao Shangsi still wanted to say something, but he heard He Qi asked inappropriately: "By the way, who is the person with the most right to speak in the Qiao family now?"
Qiao Shangsi couldn't figure out the reason for his sudden questioning, so he didn't dare to answer it on his own.
"Don't get me wrong." He Qiduo thought that it was inconvenient for Qiao Shangsi to disclose, so he changed the angle, "How old are you?"
"It's my grandfather."
"It shouldn't be..." He Qiduo fell into deep thought.
"what happened?"
"I saw that Shu Mufeng took over a huge movie, and the investor was Joe."
Qiao Shangsi's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
"I always feel that he has something to do with you. The last time he came out of the closet was suppressed in the end. He said it wasn't done by his family. This time the investment in the movie is Joe's again, and he is still the protagonist."
"what do you mean……"
"Sure enough, he should look for the benefactor." He Qiduo sighed regretfully.
Qiao Shangsi was silent for a long time, "If you follow your train of thought, my cousin might."
He Qiduo shook his head, "It's unlikely to be the opposite sex, doesn't he like me?"
Qiao Shangsi finally couldn't help asking, "You believe what he says? Then will you believe what I say?"
He Qiduo didn't understand why Qiao Shangsi was suddenly agitated, and said suspiciously: "Of course it's not about believing anything, but why does he have to lie to me?"
"What about me?" Qiao Shangsi had an inexplicable insistence on this question, although he didn't understand the reason.
"Will you lie to me?" He Qiduo asked patiently.
"No." Qiao Shangsi blurted out.
"Okay, then tell me what happened in Qiao's house all these years." He Qiduo stared at Qiao Shangsi like a torch, as if he wanted to see through him.
Qiao Shangsi realized immediately, He Qiduo followed the pole to set him up.
"it is good."
Back then, 16-year-old Qiao Shangsi was brought back to the Qiao family and raised as the sole heir. He should have successfully become the president of the Qiao family.But the weather was unsatisfactory. One month before he reached adulthood, Uncle Qiao Shangsi's illegitimate son came to his door.
"He is a little more capable than me, so I escaped back." Qiao Shangsi explained blankly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, "Grandpa doesn't care about the identity of the illegitimate child, he only cares about whether Qiao's company can be handed over smoothly."
Qiao Shangsi hid his hands under the table, clenched his pants tightly, his palms were full of sweat.
"Then you can also choose to stay. They are your relatives, so they won't treat you badly." He Qiduo thought of Qiao Shangsi's not in a good spirit when he came back, and felt that he had said too much.
"As I said, only you are my family." Qiao Shangsi's eyes were burning, and compared to the indifference just now, there was a bit of warmth at this time, "My parents are in a political marriage, and they both raised lovers outside."
How many people have heard of this from the dean, he didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"The one who got the divorce was my dad who was drunk and took his lover home, but unfortunately they had a car accident on the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Qiao Shangsi raised a sarcasm smile, "The marriage was not divorced, but we lived and died together gone."
"Okay, don't think about such bad things during Chinese New Year, you still have me." He Qiduo messed up Qiao Shangsi's hair, but he was not angry and let him do it.
"Well, it's enough for me to have you."
"It seems that someone has already set off fireworks over there." He Qiduo walked to the balcony, and bouquets of gorgeous fireworks bloomed over the square in the distance.
Qiao Shangsi didn't know when he came to He Qiduo's side, he grabbed He Qiduo's clothes tightly like when he was a child, and threatened unconvincingly, "Don't abandon me."
"What are you thinking so nonsense, brat?" He Qiduo flicked Qiao Shangsi's forehead.
"No other people are allowed to intervene in our lives." Qiao Shangsi said to himself, "Don't get entangled with Shu Mufeng, let alone get along with that yellow-haired boy."
He Qiduo was baffled at first, but he couldn't help laughing at the end, "You don't want to see Alvin so much? He's still young and ignorant."
"I'm still young, you have to fulfill my New Year's wish." Qiao Shangsi raised his head and said without blushing.
"Then what should I do if I have a need?" He Qiduo asked meaningfully.
Qiao Shangsi choked up for a moment, the answer he thought in his mind was probably not what he wanted to hear, so he chose to remain silent.
"Don't worry, these are what I plan to do."
Qiao Shangsi's eyes suddenly lit up, shining brightly against the backdrop of the night light, "Aren't you going to find someone?"
"It's meaningless to do this kind of thing on a whim." He Qiduo leaned his elbows on the railing, looked down at the night view of the city, and said in a light tone, "Besides, I find it troublesome."
"But wouldn't it be a little strange to live with just the two of us? Even though we are brothers, we are not related by blood after all." He Qiduo smiled, "When are you looking for a partner?"
"I've found someone, what do you do?"
"Me? That's it, it's not like no one has been there before."
"I'm not looking for it."
He Qiduo was moved in his heart, turned to look at Qiao Shangsi, and found that he was also looking at himself.
It seems that whenever he looks at Qiao Shangsi, his gaze is on He Qiduo.
"I won't abandon you."
"What logic." He Qiduo was amused, "How dare you think that one of us is abandoning the other when we find a partner?"
Qiao Shangsi nodded solemnly, "We can only keep each other warm, can't we?"
"That's right." He Qiduo's tone was light, he sighed, and said sadly: "After all, it's Valentine's Day after the Chinese New Year..."
