The King's Game

"I have nothing to do with Xu Yan. It's just that she is going abroad today. I went to the airport to see her off. I didn't expect her to hug me suddenly." Qi You explained softly.

Jiang Nan listened quietly, not knowing whether it was out of attachment or embarrassment, he insisted on burying his head in Qi You's arms, Qi You didn't heave a sigh of relief until he felt the other party's slight nod.

"I believe you...but after you," Jiang Nan raised his head suddenly, and said with a serious expression, "You are not allowed to hug others like that!"

Qi You smiled, not because he thought it was funny, but because he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, he nodded, and said in the same serious tone as Jiang Nan: "Well, except you, absolutely not."

Jiang Nan was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard a dry cough not far away, he was startled, and hurriedly jumped out of Qi You's arms.

The two looked towards the source of the sound, only to see an old man over half a century old, who seemed to be out for a walk, and was staring at the two of them at the moment.

"Oh, it's amazing, young people nowadays..." The other party shook his head and walked past them with a sigh.

Jiang Nan blushed and stood there dawdly, Qi You laughed, but he still felt a little pity in his heart, he originally wanted to hear more from the young man, but now it seemed that he had no chance, so he had to press Say: "Okay, I'm sorry I didn't see you just now? Let's go, there is no one at my house today, I want to go to your house to eat your fried dishes."

Jiang Nan hurriedly said: "Why didn't you say it earlier? There is no food at home, we should go buy some just now."

"It's okay, you can make whatever you want, I'm not picky about food." Qi You said.

Jiang Nan thought for a while, there were still some quick-frozen dumplings that Qi You loved to eat at home, and two more home-cooked dishes were enough for two people, so he didn't insist anymore, and the two walked into the community together.

Uncle Qi You leaned on the sofa and watched TV while watching Jiang Nan busy in the kitchen. He felt that the days when he could stretch out his clothes to eat and open his mouth were really great.After a while, he suddenly wanted to go to the other party's room, so he asked casually, and Jiang Nan agreed without thinking too much.

Jiang Nan rented a house with one bedroom and one living room. The living room was not big, and the bedroom was even smaller. After Qi You turned on the light, he looked around. He caught sight of some books used in high school on the other party's small desk.

These things are said to be useless to keep now, Qi You didn't expect that the other party would bring these things to the place where he lives now.

Thinking of the notebook that the other party was still lying in his home, a smile appeared on the corner of Qi You's mouth, and he walked up to pick up a notebook and flipped through it, and then he paused when he saw something, and his expression became a little subtle.

"Qi You, it's time to eat." Jiang Nan's voice came from outside the door, but Qi You turned over another page of the notebook in his hand as if he had never heard it.

There is nothing on the front of this book, but from the last page to the front, there are always some portraits, which seem to be jerky, and seem to have been painted and corrected several times with a pencil and eraser, but Qi You still recognizes almost every one of them. The protagonist of the painting is himself.

The more you turn forward, the better and more vivid the painting is, which shows that the painter's brushwork has been practiced.

"Qi You?" It seemed that seeing Qi You not coming out, Jiang Nan came to the door of the room and shouted again, just in time to see Qi You sitting on the bed and flipping through the notebook, with a serious expression on his face.

Qi You looked up at him, and joked with a smile: "So you like me so much? I'm so touched."

Jiang Nan's face was flushed, and he subconsciously rushed over and snatched the notebook: "You, why did you flip through my notebook without my consent!"

Qi You had an innocent face: "You're painting me, right? I didn't even say you violated my portrait right."

Jiang Nan said angrily: "Then you, you can't..."

Then he was speechless for a long time, and his face was even more blushing.

Qi You's heart moved, and he said in an aggrieved tone: "I'm sorry, I'm just curious, I won't do it next time..."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Nan who was flustered and guilty because of Qi You's words, and hugged him in his arms.

"But one yard is worth one yard. I drew me so many times without knowing it, so why should I get paid?" Qi You whispered against the other party's forehead.

Jiang Nan sat on the opponent's lap uncontrollably, was so ashamed by this posture that he forgot about the book, blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and only whispered: "Eat... It's time to eat."

Qi You nodded thoughtfully, then lowered his head and took a bite on the other's lips: "Well, it's delicious."

Jiang Nan: "..." I was talking about eating!

Qi You kissed the other side's face again, Jiang Nan struggled in panic, but with his strength, how could he break free?Seeing Jiang Nan's flustered look, Qi You laughed, and took the opportunity to bite the side of the other's neck lightly. He felt Jiang Nan's whole body tremble before he stopped the flirting. It's a bit of an aftertaste, but now is not a good time after all.

During the meal, Qi You raised his mouth again: "I think you are really good at drawing. Although I haven't learned it, I can see that you are very talented. You probably haven't learned it before, right?"

Jiang Nan nodded: "The family didn't have any money before, and I don't feel like this anymore..."

"Actually, if you like these things so much and want to delve deeper, you can apply for an art school. After all, there is a specialization in art." Qi You said suddenly.

Jiang Nan shook his head and said: "My parents have always expected me to be admitted to an undergraduate college, thinking that would be more promising. Now they are gone...I want to at least fulfill their wish."

Qi You thought for a while and said: "I remember that the major you applied for is graphic design, so it seems that it can be matched with your favorite painting, but you can also enroll in another interest class, and I can also provide a small amount of funding. .”

Of course Jiang Nan could hear Qi You's concern for him in his words, although he was moved in his heart, he still said: "Wait later, there is still such a long time."

After hearing this, Qi You didn't insist anymore, thought for a while and said: "That's right, you can learn whatever you want in the future, but now you have to talk about love, otherwise you have to work and go to class, so you can't spend time with me."

Jiang Nan heard that Qi You was teasing himself after ending the topic, but nodded seriously.Qi You is joking, but he really thinks so - he just wants to be with the other party right now, and doesn't care about any other people and things, that's right, it's the legendary love brain.

------

The next day, when Father Qi came home after discussing the business, his expression was not very good. Mother Qi thought that there was something wrong with the business, but Father Qi called out Qi You who was still playing games in the study.

Qi You was forced to hang up the phone temporarily due to his father's lust. He wanted to complain at first, but he shut his mouth wisely after meeting his father's sharp eyes.

"Say, are you hiding something from me?" Father Qi asked.

Qi You was stunned, and felt a little uneasy for a moment. Could it be that he and Jiang Nan were accidentally seen getting too close outside somewhere before?

"Who are you dating?" Father Qi frowned.

Qi You secretly thought that it was indeed the case, and was about to break the can and confess everything, when suddenly he heard Father Qi say: "Do you know that our family and Xu Yuan are business competitors? You will inherit the company in the future, how can you be so unreasonable?" Be careful, you are still so close to someone else's daughter?"

Qi You and Qi Mu: "??"

Father Qi sighed, and said unwillingly: "I saw the photo of you at the airport. When I met Xu Yuan today, he proudly showed me that my son was fascinated by his daughter." Upside down, you are still reluctant to part with her when she is going abroad, and I don't know about these crap things, what a shame."

Qi's mother looked at Qi You thoughtfully, as if she was thinking about when her son became a half-hearted scumbag.

Before today, Qi You didn't know that Xu Yan's family had such a relationship with his own family, let alone that he was fascinated and reluctant to leave. He felt strange and ridiculous about what Qi's father said from Xu Yuandao.

In fact, Xu Yuan would say that, but it was still inseparable from Xu Yan's own good face.After the photo was discovered by Xu Yuan, who was closely following his daughter's relationship, he made a phone call to question her. When asked, Xu Yan also said casually in a hurry, never expecting that her father would tell Qi You's father.

Although I feel speechless and tired of such a misunderstanding, I still have to explain what needs to be explained, Qi You said: "Dad, you misunderstood, I just went to tell you something, and Xu Yan is just an ordinary classmate relationship."

Father Qi knew his son well, so of course he knew that the other party didn't need to lie to prevaricate himself. He was puzzled and said, "Then what Xu Yuan said was made up by him? He must be sick, and he made up such a set of words just to get angry. Me? This won’t work, I’ll have to find him the next time I see him.”

"I don't know what's going on, maybe there is some misunderstanding?" Qi Youpi smiled.

No matter what Father Qi thought, he still felt something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qi You: "Then if it wasn't the daughter of the Xu family, who would it be? I have seen your performance this time, so don't try to fool me."

Qi You had no choice but to say: "I'm just... playing with friends I get along with."

Father Qi narrowed his eyes: "What friend?"

"...Jiang Nan, didn't he still eat at our house last time?" Qi You said.

Father Qi frowned: "Are you sure you're not in a relationship?"

Qi You: "..."

He is still hesitating. What he experienced just now made him realize that Father Qi has begun to notice, and he will investigate this matter sooner or later. Compared with when he investigates it at that time, he may suffer less from being honest and frank. .

Mother Qi also saw Qi You's thoughts, she didn't say anything, she just sipped tea silently.

In her opinion, speaking out now is not a bad thing.She knows her husband very well. Although he will get angry, and maybe even start to smoke, he is definitely a sensible person. Besides, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Compared with Qi Youlu being discovered by him in the future, it is worse now Just tell the truth.

The reason why I helped to hide it before was only because I agreed to Qi You's plea, and how much I love my son, but it does not mean that she will always cover it up. After all, although her dear family has always been very tolerant to me, she still has opinions. of……

"Dad, I decided to tell you something, you might be very angry when you hear it." Qi You said cautiously.

Father Qi looked at him with a serious expression and motioned for him to continue.

"I..." Qi You said, "Actually, I'm in love... with Jiang Nan."
