Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Five

Along the way, Qi Shuo kept his face sullen and silent, but Zhong Jingtao couldn't see it, so he said softly: "Isn't it because you were not allowed to live there? Is it necessary to show me this face? I will let you take a few days off during the summer vacation. Take them to the resort to play for a few days and make compensation, okay?" "You mean what you say?" "What I said to you hasn't counted, has it?" "Had." "What's up?" "Going to France! Are you going to leave school?" "...I vaccinated you a long time ago. If you still want to study abroad, it's not impossible. I can ask my grandfather to help you clear up the relationship. "

Qi Shuo gave him a nonchalant look: "Cut." Zhong Jingtao laughed and said, "Why do you look more and more like me now? I'm telling you the truth, it can really be done!" "I know, I don't need it now, I want Xinyu to go now!" "..." Zhong Jingtao glanced at Qi Shuo who was full of sincerity, and felt a little sour in his heart, "Do you want something sweet?" "what?" "When you're in a bad mood, you need sugar to balance your blood pressure. Want dessert?" "A treat?" "When did you pay for it? Treat you to chocolate mousse."

"Actually, did you not have enough to eat just now? That's why you suggested that!" Zhong Jingtao snapped his fingers, "I'm getting smarter." Zhong Jingtao drove to an Uncle Tom's starlight-themed store, and Qi Shuo got out of the car and stepped into the house, eyes full of bright candlelight reflecting the rows of pastries, and sighed: "It's so beautiful! It's better than last time brother The one I took to was even more beautiful." Qi Shuo always thinks about others when he sees things at inappropriate times. Before Zhong Jingtao expressed his displeasure, Zhong Jingbo called.Zhong Jingtao didn't want to hear it, so he went to choose a mousse cake.When the cake was served on the table, Qi Shuo's phone was still on.

Zhong Jingbo didn't ask extra questions. He made this call and thought about it for a whole day. He talked a little about his past. Qi Shuo had been listening to the return of this pure emotion and that obsessive expectation in the past. The only one who understood was understand and wait.Before Zhong Jingbo hung up the phone, he said in a low voice: "I really want to see you right away. I wanted to say at the beginning that I wanted to see Xiao Qishuo right away. But now she is Jing Tao's 'girlfriend', and she can no longer be like before. See you as much as you want. In the days to come, you will work very hard. When you can’t hold on, you can come to me at any time. Remember that I am your shelter. Qi Shuo, I said I will wait Your answer, no matter how long, yes or no, I've been waiting... I just want you to know, I've been waiting for this one. Now... hang up. Don't say goodbye, just hang up before me .”

Qi Shuo couldn't help but shed tears when she heard that, she felt that Zhong Jingbo was really an incomparable good man, she thought impulsively, if she was older, she couldn't help but propose to Zhong Jingbo first.A second after she hung up the phone, she wiped away her tears and said to Zhong Jingtao who was sitting across from her every word: "I've made up my mind. After finishing your mission, I'm going to be my brother's girlfriend!" "Crying enough." Zhong Jingtao didn't answer any more. He only felt a little red in the last third of his heart, which hurt like a hole had been pierced.

Back at Zhong's house, Qi Shuo asked Zhong Jingtao to accompany her to wait for Zhong Zhen to come back in the living room, but Zhong Jingtao ignored him and went straight back to the room.Qi Shuo sat on the sofa until two o'clock in the morning, and no one opened the door to come in. Finally, he fell down and screamed.It was two hours later that Zhong Zhen entered the house, unexpectedly, Qi Shuo would wait for him in the living room until he fell asleep.After Zhou Yuerong left this house, Zhong Jintian never promised Zhong Zhen to ask his new wife Bai Xuebing to move to Zhong's house.Before Zhong Jingtao went to college, everyone was at home, 20 hours a day, sleeping in the bedroom, and it was the same if he was at home or not.In this home, it has been a long time since someone has been waiting for you to come home.Zhong Zhenben had some questions to ask, and felt that the background of this abrupt girl was not pure.But at this time, seeing her curled up on the sofa, sleeping sweetly, he dismissed the extra thoughts.Intuition - Men have intuitions too.

Worried that Qi Shuo would catch a cold, Zhong Zhen took off his coat and put it on Qi Shuo. Zhong Jingtao was also carrying a blanket and went downstairs. He didn't fall asleep until Qi Shuo went upstairs. "Would you like to chat?" Zhong Zhen said softly to Zhong Jingtao. "If you're talking about work, let's start after dawn!" "No, I want to talk about your girlfriend." Zhong Zhen and Zhong Jingtao sat down on the sun loungers on the balcony.Zhong Zhen opened a bottle of red wine, and Zhong Jingtao played with it for a long time, not intending to drink it. "When did it start? Just now?"

Zhong Zhen's question made Zhong Jingtao aware of a little risk, "No...as soon as I arrived in Beijing..." "What did you see her for?" "Probably don't care about it!" "A scheming woman is not necessarily unlovable!" "That's in your eyes!" "Is that all?" "Do you think it's not enough?" Zhong Jingtao is used to playing against Zhong Zhen. Although Zhong Zhen taught Zhong Jingtao more than once, the consequences of tit for tat would outweigh the gains. "How long are the two of you going to go?"

"Where are you going?" As soon as the words fell, Zhong Jingtao suspected that he was really infected by Qi Shuo's single thinking, "I didn't think about it? Didn't I just start." "After the official announcement of the heir's identity, after the new year, I will arrange for you to go abroad to study business management for two years. Is she a whim, or is there a long-term plan?" "Why are you talking about going abroad now? Where are you going?" "Go to Australia. Since you have plans to suspend your studies, going abroad must be within the scope of the plan. With your current level, how can you convince the people below? Could it be that you are born to be Zhong Jintian's grandson? Is Zhong Zhen's son holding those shares in his hand and clamoring?"

Zhong Jingtao didn't answer, the reason Zhong Zhen said was the way of life he was least willing to accept, that is, because he was born as his son, he had no choice but to do it, and he was destined to be poured into this pool of blood thicker than water .Zhong Zhen realized that his aggressive attitude was a bit inappropriate, so he eased his tone and said, "I just want you to step on this unique cornerstone more confidently, so that even if one day, my flabbergasted wings fail to reach You, I can also stay in place and watch you fly away?" "It's so emotional, you don't want me to refuse."

Zhong Jingtao breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I won't refuse, it's a day to escape." "What about her? If I ask her to drop out of school and follow her, will she agree? I am an enlightened father, and I will pay for my son's free love." "I don't want to do this, I have my own considerations." "Would you hurt another innocent person?" "No, I didn't want to do that before, and I don't even want to do that now!" Zhong Zhen raised his glass to congratulate Zhong Jingtao and said, "Improve for your weak point?" "cut!" Zhong Jingtao still raised his glass to touch it with admiration, deliberately lowering to the mouth of Zhong Zhen's glass, and the red wine in the glass made a series of long ripples. Qi Shuo opened her eyes when she smelled the fragrance of the stove, and woke up with her clothes closed, still a little cold, she sneezed, and asked the maid, "Didn't uncle come back yesterday?" The maid replied: "Miss, sir came back yesterday," she said and glanced upstairs, "It seems that you came back late." After Qi Shuo heard this, he flung off the wrapped blanket angrily and rushed upstairs, just in time for Zhong Jingtao to come downstairs with the newspaper, unexpectedly Qi Shuo woke up so early, Zhong Jingtao said casually: "Can you wake up?" It's so early, I'll sleep on the sofa from now on." Qi Shuo raised his nose and glanced over, "Why did uncle wake up so late?" "Zhong Zhen? He's already gone out." Zhong Jingtao pushed Qi Shuo away and went downstairs. "Isn't that too much?" Zhong Jingtao knew what Qi Shuo was blaming, so he didn't talk to him, and sat down at the table, "Where are we going after dinner?" "Where is it going?" Qi Shuo sat down impatiently, picked up the lemonade and poured it down his throat. "Should we cultivate a relationship?" Qi Shuo choked on Zhong Jingtao's words, "Don't you have to go to work at your dad's place today?" "Today is Saturday, after I have dinner, I have to report to Zhong Zhenna first, and then I will study the documents approved by him, and then..." Zhong Jingtao counted the time, the freedom of control is indeed limited. "You should go to work? You have to take the exam when you return to Beijing. I have to review my homework today." "Let's have dinner together tonight! Zhong Zhen is going there for the weekend." "Which side?" Zhong Jingtao didn't answer directly, and pushed the rest of the breakfast in front of Qi Shuo, "Stay at home obediently, I'm done with it, I'll pick you up when I go home!" He got up and walked towards the door. Hearing the phone ring, Qi Shuo ran to answer it, "Hello? Hello?" Zhong Jintian wondered, after being away for so few days, there was such an impolite servant in the family. "Ask Miss Qi Shuo to answer the phone!" "Why are you looking for me?" To be clear, treat yourself as an outsider. "Oh, you are so clever! Why didn't you come to see me after you reported it the day before yesterday? You youngsters, whose enthusiasm is only on the surface, can't stand the test at all!" "Grandpa? Grandpa, I was dragged to buy clothes by Jingyang and the others yesterday. Did you miss me? Wait for me, I'll go see you now!" "I called a car to pick you up, and bring me something delicious from home when I come over!" "I know……" When Qi Shuo arrived at the ward, Zhong Jintian had just taken his temperature and was eating breakfast and watching the morning news. "Grandpa, I'm coming!" "Oh……" Zhong Jintian nodded with the milk in his mouth. "Grandpa, you don't seem to miss me very much? Seeing me coming, I didn't even raise my eyelids. I still missed the time to review my homework and came to see you. Your cold expression now hurts me too much Zhong Jingtao's habit of playing cold and cool, it turned out to be inherited from you." "My activities are all in my heart, how can you hairy children understand. I am seriously ill now, how can I cheer up!" "Grandpa seems to be in good health, and his complexion is better than mine. He doesn't look seriously ill." "You girl, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Shuo's heartless words hit Zhong Jintian's heart. In fact, before Zhong Jingtao came back, he had already gone through the dangerous period after the operation. When I was sick, I didn't dare to come to the ward to visit.Zhong Jintian continued to live in the hospital, facing the danger of the company's anarchy and no leader. He had only one purpose in hiding it from so many people, hoping to exchange his family affection for his grandson Zhong Jingtao's prodigal son to return.By doing so, on the one hand, Zhong Jingtao can have sufficient reasons to take the position of successor early; on the other hand, the factors of restlessness in the company during the transition process can be exposed early so that he can have enough energy and time to cooperate with his son. Zhong Zhen did a good job of laying the groundwork for his grandson, and his light and dark hands were enough to prop up a bright and clear sky for Zhong Jingtao. Qi Shuo sat down on the escort seat, picked up the remote control and switched channels, completely ignoring Zhong Jintian's feelings.The animation channel is replaying Disney's "Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy Three Musketeers" many years ago. Qi Shuo was holding the remote control to see the interest.Zhong Jintian had no choice but to teach: "Stop watching this kind of cartoons, young people watch more historical dramas, which will be good for future work and social interaction. Cartoons are all things for children, time-consuming and useless. significance." "Why is it meaningless? I learned the way of being a man from cartoons, 'Everyone is for me, I am for everyone'. I learned it from the Three Musketeers. Successful people like grandpa and uncle are still People like Zhong Jingtao who are cold-blooded are very boring, and people who have no childishness, most of them are not very kind, and they like Kuang people!" Zhong Jintian asked anxiously, "How have I ever helped you?" Qi Shuo tilted his head and pouted, ignoring it. After eating lunch with Zhong Jintian, Qi Shuo read the newspaper to him. Although Zhong Jintian closed his eyes but kept his ears open, Qi Shuo fell sleepy on the edge of the bed and fell asleep soundly.Zhong Jintian had no choice but to stand up, and spread half of the quilt over Qi Shuo's shoulders.When Zhong Jingbo came, he was still asleep, Zhong Jintian signaled him to close the door slowly, Qi Shuo was still awakened by a slight movement.I haven't seen him for two days, and I feel that kind of life, as if I have returned to the way I was when I first met Zhong Jingbo. When it was time for the company to come, Zhong Jintian wanted someone to take Qi Shuo home, and Zhong Jingbo also excused himself from not wanting to see the company, and said goodbye.It was a long way down the stairs to the parking lot, Zhong Jingbo didn't say a word to Qi Shuo. "I'd better... call a car and go home by myself?" Qi Shuo couldn't help but turned around to leave. "Uh... let's have dinner together. I..." Zhong Jingbo pulled Qi Shuo's sleeve and rubbed it lightly between his thumb and index finger, feeling that something was left. "Okay! Is there Sichuan hot pot here?" Qi Shuo didn't really want to leave. "After eating, let's go to a drive-in movie." "Watching a drive-in movie? Hehe, okay! But I can't play it too late, I have to review it when I go back at night." Qi Shuo really forgot that he had an appointment with Zhong Jingtao, so he followed Zhong Jingbo into the car without any worries. Zhong Jingtao was in vain when he went home to pick up Qi Shuo, but he couldn't connect to Qi Shuo's phone.Hearing from the domestic helper that she was called to the hospital early in the morning, Zhong Jingtao was worried that Zhong Jintian would become suspicious, so Zhong Jingtao rushed to the hospital by car, only then did he know that Qi Shuo left the hospital with Zhong Jingbo.When Zhong Jingbo received Zhong Jingtao's call, the two had already had dinner, drove away the driver, and drove towards the movie theater.Without saying a word, Zhong Jingtao followed suit and drove the car across the entrance.As soon as Zhong Jingbo's car arrived, Zhong Jingtao got into his car and called Qi Shuo to the back seat.The movie venue was very dimly lit, and Qi Shuo began to fall asleep after listening to the prelude. Zhong Jingtao and Zhong Jingbo also spent two and a half hours absent-mindedly. Qi Shuo slept like this until the door of the house, and was dragged into the house in a drowsy state. Only then did Zhong Jingtao close the door and start a fire. What's the point of going out on a date with another man?" "He is an older brother, not an outsider." "Is it meaningful to say this? You clearly know that he is chasing you, and you deliberately gave him a chance. You... I don't care what your plans are in the future. In short, you are still in this capacity now, so you have to be competent. Bar?" "We met by chance today, and we didn't make an appointment on purpose. If we do this, it will have bad effects. I'll pay attention next time!" Qi Shuo replied, leaned weakly on the sofa, and waited pitifully for Zhong Jingtao's next scolding.Zhong Jingtao wanted to teach him a lesson at first, but his stomach yelled with suffocation after being hungry for a long time, and he calmed himself down with a blushing face: "I'm really starving to death, help me to wake up Aunt Gui, and cook noodles for me!" "Cut," Qi Shuo pursed his lower lip, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Do you know how annoying it is to be forced to wake up in your sleep? I cooked it for you. I'm good at cooking noodles! You don't have to suffer." I'm sorry, take it as an apology!" With a sigh of relief, Qi Shuo straightened up and went to the kitchen. After five minutes, Qi Shuo brought hot noodles to the table. The green vegetables in the thick soup were evenly rolled with egg flowers, and there was a tangy aroma. Noodle.Just about to send it into the mouth, he became suspicious again: "I'm not angry, but I'm poisoning it?" "What are you talking about? How can I be willing to destroy the Great Wall myself?" Zhong Jingtao put a sip of soup into his mouth along the side of the bowl. Even though the noodles were cooked plain, the bowl still smelled of meat because of the chicken essence.Seeing that he was eating comfortably, Qi Shuo couldn't help but feel guilty: "Actually, I dug some earwax and stuck it to the bottom of the bowl, thinking you would become dumb. You are really annoying when you are a man." Zhong Jingtao retched with his throat stuck, his face flushed red. "are you crazy?" Qi Shuo relieved the hatred in his heart, smiled and said: "I'm just joking, how could I do such a low-level thing. If so, can you still speak now?" For the sake of Qi Shuo's hard work, Zhong Jingtao took another sip out of worry.Qi Shuo followed with a hearty laugh, "Actually, I didn't do anything with the bowl. It was just when I was washing the dishes, the drain hole of the sink was blocked, so I poked it with chopsticks! But it's fine now. Washed down by the noodle soup in the bowl." "Qi-shock!" Unable to bear her repeated attacks on him, Zhong Jingtao took the bowl to the trash can, and Qi Shuo ran up to grab the bowl, "I'm just joking, how can such delicious noodles be thrown away?" "Then you take a bowl of soup and eat noodles with these chopsticks." Qi Shuo demonstrated it according to Zhong Jingtao's words, and Zhong Jingtao sat back on the table with a bowl in his hand.Qi Shuo went to fetch new chopsticks for him and came back, Zhong Jingtao had already eaten one bite after another.Qi Shuo murmured in his heart, "You're not mistaken, aren't you a clean freak? Why use the chopsticks I used." Qi Shuo went back to the dining table, sat down, and watched Zhong Jingtao sweep up the bowl with soup and noodles, feeling a strange sense of accomplishment in his heart. Lying on the bed, his two eyelids began to fight crazily again, Qi Shuo gritted his teeth and finished the set exercise for the abdominal and back muscles.I was so tired that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.Opening the door a little, I saw Zhong Jingtao's half-hidden door was also illuminated by the desk lamp, and a stack of documents piled up on the desk blocked his ears.Thinking that in two months, we will part ways with him, Qi Shuo turned his heart to the sky, and saw the blue blue night sky.Probably this feeling is reluctance, she dare not think too much about this reluctance, she just thinks that she is such a sentimental person.When she was a child, when she saw a goldfish with its stomach turned over, she had to use a matchbox to make a coffin for it and hold a funeral.What's more, such a big living person who has been together day and night for several months?Maybe it's not reluctance, but love.With these complicated little feelings, Qi Shuo unfolded his notebook, crawled on the bed, and memorized his mood notes. Before the closing period was completed, Zhong Jingtao looked for the light in the room, and pushed the door in: "It's so late. , why don't you sleep? If you don't eat enough and sleep enough, how can you guarantee the quality of your work?" As he said that, he walked up to Qi Shuo and went to draw her notebook. Qi Shuo snatched it into his arms and said, "It's fine to enter the house without knocking, and grab my diary to read it. Do you have any points?" A man's demeanor?" "Ha, is it a diary? Do you still have this sentiment?" "You don't know, do you? As secret agents, we all have this habit." "I'm not interested in prying into your little privacy. I just want to remind you to go to bed early. Women who sleep too late will age prematurely!" Zhong Jingtao saw that the window was still open, and closed the curtains: "In the future, you will have to draw the curtains when you sleep, and you don't have any sense of safety." After all, he turned off the reading light in the room and walked out the door, "Oh, by the way, your face today is not bad!" Qi Shuo glanced sideways, and whispered: "I'm really full, I've talked so much today!"
