Star of tomorrow

When Qi Chen came, Xiao Zuo and Su Changyu were gone.

Ji Xing called Su Changyu, but no one answered. He was wrapped in a windbreaker and stood in front of the elevator door of the restaurant, looking at the night scene outside the window in boredom. The corridor was full of lively noises from young people, and the cold wind passed through the hall. Ji Xing couldn't help it. I shivered.

The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound. Qi Chen was carrying a shoulder bag and a loose padded jacket over his sweater.

As soon as he saw Ji Xing in the corridor, the coldness in his eyes turned into gurgling warm water, and tenderness and sweetness almost overflowed from his eyes.

He stepped forward a few steps, took Ji Xing into his arms, and rubbed his shoulders and arms: "What are you doing standing outside? Is it cold?"

"Wait for you." Qi Chen's body temperature was a little higher, and Ji Xing leaned in his warm embrace. The end of his nose was clean and fresh, with a bit of cold wind and dry smell, which warmed his whole heart, and he didn't feel it instantly. It's cold and I don't feel bored anymore.

Looking at those bright and smiling eyes, Qi Chen couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed her.

Ji Xing's eyelashes trembled, and he said with a smile: "You are so warm."

Qi Chen opened his coat and wrapped him up from behind, and the two walked into the corridor cuddling each other while talking in low voices.

The restaurant is very lively and steaming, there are few tables of good wine and food, no one is moving, people are walking around to toast and greet each other, and the relationship is already good, sitting on the sofa in the corner with wine glasses and talking softly.

Seeing the two of them coming in, everyone came over with a glass of wine: "Young Master Ji, Mr. Qi! Come, sit at our table and eat!"

"Why did Mr. Qi come here now? I watched the game a few days ago, and it was so good!"

Qi Chen nodded his thanks, with a neither humble nor overbearing smile on his face, he rubbed Ji Xing's hands under his clothes to warm him up, and all the others praised the good relationship between the two when they saw it.

Ji Xing smiled and was very proud. He leaned his head in Qi Chen's arms and chatted with others: "He will participate in an international competition at the beginning of next year, and I will send you tickets then."

"Thanks in advance!" Regardless of whether the visitor is interested in MMA or not, the attitude is set first, "Mr. Qi is going to fight for the boxing champion!"

Qi Chen really wanted to get his own golden belt, but he wasn't sure if he could do it next year.

After all, there are too many excellent people, younger than him, more talented people, but this did not make Qi Chen feel afraid or uneasy, he regained his enthusiasm and confidence, enjoying all the challenges from this cruel life .

Life is an adventure. Fortunately, he also met a lover who can fight side by side.

Qi Chen followed Ji Xing to get to know several important children from rich families, and exchanged contact information with each other. Ji Xing didn't like socializing originally, and he came out to play to relax. It would be too disappointing to think about resources and connections at this time.

The others were also aware of Ji Xing's character, so they changed the topic after a few words and started discussing gossip in the circle.

Qi Chen's gossip was naturally one of the highlights of everyone's discussion - the news about the fake boxing two years ago has recently been aroused, and it is said that the Black Lion Club has also filed a lawsuit to sue Qi Chen for breach of contract.

This is very funny.The Black Lion fired him at the beginning, but now he is suing Qi Chen for participating in the game without their consent and joining another club.

Wang Haiyang is not a vegetarian, so he immediately tore up with the black lion.

"I've never seen such a shameless person. They will lose this lawsuit, and now they just want to fight a wave of public opinion wars to divert attention." Someone was drunk and hiccupped and sneered, "I say Qi, Qi... "

"Qi Chen." The person next to him reminded.

The man nodded and said, "Qi Chen, remember these contracts in the future and you must read them clearly. The more contracts you write, the thicker they are—especially the ones that place more restrictions on you and write less on their own responsibilities. That’s all problematic. And when you were expelled at the time, you must have specific documents, otherwise it would be like this, and they would turn around and deny it. You can’t produce evidence that they fired you.”

The others nodded: "Yes, there must be procedures, and the process must be clear."

Qi Chen nodded and thanked everyone for their kindness. After eating, the two of them became hot now, took off their coats and leaned on the chairs.How much did Ji Xing drink?

Drinking a glass of wine, his face was flushed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared. He looked a little silly but very cute, and people couldn't help but want to tease him.

Sure enough, someone joked, "Qi Chen is a good-looking man, capable of fighting and careful, so if you just bring him out like this, aren't you afraid that someone will think about it?"

Ji Xing patted Qi Chen's knee: "Someone is thinking about you, what should I do?"

The joker immediately waved his hand: "I didn't say it was me!"

Qi Chen held the wine glass in one hand, he made an exception and drank some wine today, although not much, but in Ji Xing's eyes, Qi Chen who drank had a different charm.

The corners of Qi Chen's lips exuded a faint smell of wine, shaking the cup with his hand, almost leaning into Ji Xing's ear and said, "You can do whatever you say."

"Then what do you mean by yourself?"

Qi Chen shrugged: "Let him go."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Su Changyu and Xiao Zuo were still nowhere to be seen after drinking and eating. Ji Xing called Su Changyu again, and this time he got through.

"I'm upstairs in the room." Su Changyu whispered, "I have something to do, help me with it."

"Where's Little Zuo?"

"Don't worry about it!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, simply and neatly.

Ji Xing was confused, thought for a while and whispered to Qi Chen: "I think there is something wrong with Changyu and Xiaozuo."

Qi Chen didn't hear clearly, there was too much noise around, and was about to ask him what he said, when he was dragged up by a few rich kids next to him.

"Sing, sing! All of us have sung, and you are the only one left!"

Qi Chen was embarrassed: "I can't sing..."

"Sing whatever you want!" The kids from the rich family started to ignore it after drinking too much, and someone yelled, "Don't you give me face?!"

Ji Xing smiled and didn't stop him. He hasn't heard Qi Chen sing yet, so he's quite curious.

Qi Chen hadn't sung for many years, and was pushed onto the stage with a microphone in his hand, looking very embarrassed under the light.

Ji Xing looked at him with his jaw propped up, and turned on the phone to record.

Seeing that his young master wouldn't come to help, Qi Chen had no choice but to accept his fate, and took it as a way to make the young master happy.

Put the microphone on the stand and drag a high stool.

Everyone present applauded him, booing, whistling, and good-natured laughter spread in the hall.

This was originally a small stage, which can be used for birthday celebrations, corporate events, weddings, etc. for guests who order meals on weekdays.Today is the Su family's own booking, and a band was invited to sing at the beginning, but now it has left early.

Qi Chen was the only one on the vacant stage, with two large speakers behind him. The staff adjusted the reverb for him, and then made a "please" gesture.

The accompaniment sounded, and it was "The beauty of the world is closely linked with you", which is often played in the streets and alleys recently.

Qi Chen's voice was low and slightly hoarse, and the audience fell silent as soon as he spoke.

"At this time, the person who has been loved by birds and grasses is on the way. I know that he will travel through wind and rain, and he will not be rewarded at sunset. He will cross the sea of ​​people just to embrace you."

"At this moment, the bright moon is in the sky, and the person you love is holding the starlight in his hands. I know that he has braved the wind and waves to go to the darkness. I empathize with you and give you the longing for redemption."

Qi Chen can sing very few songs, and he doesn't listen to songs very much on weekdays.

When his hand was stuffed into the microphone, the first thing he thought of was this song.

Maybe a little self-indulgent, but in Qi Chen's heart, this song is so suitable for him, just right, the lyrics almost sang to his heart.

He looked at Ji Xing, who was recording video in his seat, his face was flushed, and the hand holding the phone kept shaking.

Qi Chen's heart was so soft that he wanted to sing to the other party with all the warmth in his heart.

"Let the stars add a little rainbow, let the cherry blossoms kiss your forehead secretly, and let the beauty of the world be closely linked with you."

He remembered a lot, what Ji Xing had said to him.At different stages, those words soothed his wounds, urged him to move forward, and dragged him out of the haze of the past.

——Don't feel guilty because of self-blame, and don't think that this love is ugly just because others scold you.Don't be ashamed of this love, don't escape, don't feel ashamed.

——Qi Chen, you are a bastard, a coward,

coward.

—You have to move on!No matter how painful you are, you have to move forward!Don't run away!

——I like you, Qi Chen, I like you.

—I forgive you.

Ji Xing in the seat covered his face, Qi Chen sang the last line, and the shocked audience didn't recover for a long time.

Qi Chen felt a little embarrassed, a slight blush appeared on his face, he turned off the microphone and hurriedly left the stage.

He walked up to Ji Xing and sat down, and the people at the other tables were still looking at him in shock.

Qi Chen thought Ji Xing was crying, and when he saw his shoulders shrugged violently, he reached out to help him get the phone and turned off the video.

He was still immersed in the memories and warmth and didn't come back to his senses, with gentle eyes, he turned his head and kissed Ji Xing's ear.

Ji Xing couldn't help it, turned around and lay in his arms and laughed.

Qi Chen: "..."

Qi Chen: "???"

Ji Xing laughed so hard that he couldn't speak clearly, and wiped his tears and said: "My God, I... this video will be kept forever! If you are not happy, take it out and have a look! This is the first time I heard someone sing, and none of the words were in tune. Hahahahaha——!"

Qi Chen: "..."

Qi Chen's entire face turned red in an instant, and he didn't dare to look at the suppressed laughter and shocked eyes of the people around him, so he patted Ji Xing's butt lightly in annoyance as a warning.

In the middle of the night, young people were still having a carnival, and someone made an appointment to a nearby bar, while Qi Chen and Ji Xing said goodbye and left.

The night wind blew away the warmth, and Ji Xing woke up from the turbulent chaos. Qi Chen held his hand in his palm, and the two walked slowly holding hands.

Ji Xing thought of Qi Chen's devilish out-of-tune, and couldn't help lowering his head and laughing again.

Qi Chen had no choice but to say awkwardly, "I won't sing anymore."

"Don't, how cute!" Ji Xing said, "If I'm not happy in the future, you can sing for me, okay?"

Qi Chen: "..."

Seeing that Ji Xing was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, Qi Chen couldn't help but also laughed: "Okay. I'll sing for you alone."

"That must be." Ji Xing laughed loudly, "Let's not harm others hahahaha——"

Qi Chen: "..."

Ji Xing rubbed his eyes and couldn't breathe from laughing: "I thought about it all night and I didn't remember how the original song was sung hahaha——"

Qi Chen covered his mouth: "Stop talking!"

As soon as the two of them passed the intersection, a car slowly followed from the side and honked its horn.

Ji Xing turned his head and saw that it was his father's car.

The car window was lowered, and Ji Hongfei's face was exposed from behind the car window.

He was wearing a coat with a stand-up collar and a suit inside. His temples were slightly white and his face was serious. He folded his hands on his knees and leaned against the back of his chair to look at them seriously: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Qi Chen hurriedly straightened his back, and said politely, "Mr. Ji."

Ji Hongfei snorted coldly, and glanced at the hands they held: "Since we met, where are we going? I'll see you off."

The driver got down and opened the door, Ji Xing got into the back seat, and Qi Chen got into the co-pilot.

The heating in the car was very good. Ji Hongfei glanced at his youngest son, whose face was flushed by the cold wind, and said dissatisfiedly, "Blowing cold wind outside in the middle of the night? Are you full?"

"It's true that I'm full, just take a walk to digest food." Ji Xing smiled, and took a bottle of mineral water from the small refrigerator to drink, "Where did Dad go?"

"Just finished the meeting. You think you are like you, doing nothing all day long." Ji Hongfei moved the tip of his nose, "Have you been drinking?"

He took another warning look at Qi Chen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, from the rearview mirror.

Qi Chen only felt that the pain was on his back, and hurriedly said: "Friends gathered, Xing Xing didn't drink much, and I didn't drink much either."

"With your profession, you can still drink casually? Isn't it too casual?"

"President Ji taught you the right lesson." Qi Chen quickly admitted his mistake and touched the tip of his nose.

Ji Xing was dissatisfied: "Teach me as soon as we meet, and I won't get in your car next time."

Ji Hongfei: "..."

Ji Hongfei had no choice but to soften his voice and said, "Are you busy recently? Go home for a few days?"

"Busy!" Ji Xing said, "I live well in the Golden Triangle..."

"on

Can't live outside?Do you have to live in the Golden Triangle? Ji Hongfei clicked his tongue, and looked at Qi Chen again, "I heard that you have played more games recently, what's the matter?"Not enough bonuses?Can't afford the down payment? "

When Qi Chen mentioned money, he was very embarrassed, but fortunately he quickly cheered up, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I plan to invest in real estate recently, if Mr. Ji has a recommendation, I can discuss it."

"What did I discuss with you? What does it matter to me?"

"..."

Ji Xingdao: "He will participate in international competitions early next year, and he can get a lot of money then."

"How much money is a lot of money?" Ji Hongfei was about to sneer, but seeing Ji Xing looking at him displeasedly, he had to swallow his words back, and said impatiently, "...you have to measure yourselves, life is not life Every family..."

Qi Chen said seriously: "I've thought it all over, and I've discussed it with the coach and Xing Xing. Please don't worry."

Ji Hongfei rolled his eyes.

When they arrived at the Golden Triangle, the two got out of the car. Ji Hongfei looked at Qi Chen coldly and said, "You have to think about the stars too. You are happy. What about him? Watching you get hurt every day, worrying about you? You are not old enough." You are young, so you have to think about things after you retire? When you get an occupational disease, will Xing Xing take care of you?"

Qi Chen remained silent, frowning, Ji Xing pulled Qi Chen's hand, and said to Ji Hongfei, "This is our business, Dad."

Ji Hongfei waved his hand at the driver with a sad expression of "kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs", and the window slowly rose, and quickly galloped into the night.

Ji Xing glanced at Qi Chen: "Don't take it to heart, just do whatever you want, man, just try to have fun in this life."

Qi Chen thoughtfully rubbed Ji Xing's head.

The two walked home downstairs, and saw an acquaintance standing at the door of the unit.Marlboro was wrapped in a cotton padded jacket, smoking a cigarette irritably, not knowing how long he had been waiting.
