Qiao Xi went back to City B, got off the plane and went back to her residence to simply pack up her things and herself before going to see Qiao Mingduan.

But luck was very bad, and he met Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin asked for leave to go home to see Qiao Mingduan, but Qiao Mingduan didn't appreciate it very much and treated him coldly.

Qiao Mingduan didn't live at home, nor was he in a hospital, but in a high-end nursing home with specialized doctors, nurses, nutritionists, etc.

Qiao Xi called him to confirm that he was going to see him.Qiao Mingduan asked the staff who took care of him to write down Qiao Xi's license plate number and report it to the gate of the nursing home, so that Qiao Xi could drive in at that time.

Qiao Xi asked on the phone: "Who else is there?"

If the relatives are here, I am afraid they will have to bring more gifts.

Qiao Mingduan said: "It's almost dinner time, come and have dinner together, there is no one else but my mother."

Qiao Mingduan's mother is going to retire, and she doesn't clock in frequently at work, and she is a half-year-old boss, so she told the boss of the unit about the family situation, and took most of the time off to take care of Qiao Mingduan.

In fact, Qiao Mingduan had nothing to say to her, not only because they had few topics in common, but also because she was rather glassy and didn't like to discuss things in depth.

Qiao Xi didn't particularly like his eldest aunt, because she was more emotional, and Qiao Xi could feel that she didn't like herself very much.If you want to talk about the reason, maybe his father is dead, and he is a useless person in Qiao's family. First, and second, he is not manly enough, and he likes men, and he has a boyfriend. Disapproved of him behind his back.

But he knew that she was not a powerful figure in this big family, so he didn't take her thoughts about him too seriously.

Qiao Xi accepted Qiao Mingduan, loaded a lot of presents, and went out.

When Qiao Xi was doing business, he gave countless gifts, but most of the gifts were prepared by the company, and he only had to order them.Ordinary gifts, gifts are often given to the festival, and it is best to invest in the company's own things, or ask Geng Qiao to endorse; the upper specification is another level, but most of them are prepared by the company; the highest specification is He prepares it himself, and mostly sends it to his family.

This time, for Qiao Mingduan, there are a lot of supplements, clothes and shoes, and even a lot of high-end skin care products for women. Qiao Mingduan will give it to his girlfriend, as well as his aunt and important servants at home. .

Qiao Xi himself also likes to prepare these. When he is not busy, he thinks it is a very enjoyable thing to choose gifts for people he cares about.

Qiao Xi drove to the nursing home and entered the courtyard where Qiao Mingduan lived. The eldest aunt did not go out to greet him, but the nanny came to greet him, but Qiao Xi didn't pay much attention.

After asking the nanny to move all the gifts in, I saw my aunt in the living room.

The eldest aunt is not rude, but Qiao Xi's heart cannot be ignored casually, so she went up and said a few polite words to him.

Qiao Xi did her best to take care of Qiao Mingduan before. After all, she stayed in the hospital bed every night, which was hard work.

The aunt said: "The air is good today. Ming Duan is sitting on the upstairs balcony reading a book. I told him he can't blow the wind. He didn't listen. He insisted on sitting there. Go and persuade him."

Qiao Xi responded and said, "Okay."

He also said: "Among those things, some of them were clothes and shoes bought for my elder brother, and they were taken to his room first. I just had this reason to let him come in to try on the clothes."

The eldest aunt thought he was very smart, so she smiled and said, "You are too careful in doing things, and you even bought clothes for him."

Qiao Xi thought that people rely on clothes, and he also likes to see his elder brother dressed better, and he doesn't want to face the elder brother who looks like a veteran cadre.

Qiao Xi went upstairs, and Qiao Mingduan was indeed sitting on the balcony, reading a book explaining the economy of the Ming Dynasty.

Qiao Xi went over and said, "Brother, I'm here and I brought you several sets of clothes, come and try them on with me."

Qiao Mingduan closed the book, looked at him sideways, smiled at him, and said, "Then help me up."

Qiao Xi went over to help him, led him into the room slowly, and asked, "Can't you use too much force on your legs?"

Qiao Mingduan said: "It's okay, the doctor said there's nothing wrong with it, maybe it's a psychological factor."

Qiao Xi said, "Then I won't help you."

Qiao Mingduan: "..."

Qiao Xi: "I'm just teasing you, and I'll support you."

Qiao Mingduan laughed: "You know how cute it is."

Qiao Xi: "..." I knew it all along.

Qiao Mingduan entered the bedroom, and Qiao Xi told him all the gifts he had brought. Except for others, the rest were for Qiao Mingduan and his girlfriend.

Qiao Mingduan said, "Are you going to move the shopping mall here?"

Qiao Xi said politely: "Nothing, I just saw it and thought you were suitable, so I bought it."

Qiao Xi bought several sets of summer clothes and leather shoes for Qiao Mingduan, enough for Qiao Mingduan to wear for a season.

Qiao Mingduan tried it on, and found that they were all good, comfortable and flattering, and very low-key, not showing off.

He admired Qiao Xi's eyes: "You do have a set of clothes."

Most of Qiao Mingduan's clothes are prepared by his mother. Of course, they are all very good, but there will be no better aesthetics like Qiao Xi, and it will not make people think that "it looks more handsome after I wear it." I'm such a surprise.

Qiao Xi sat and watched, and continued to help him, saying, "I think I can make a lot of money in the clothing business."

Qiao Ming smiled: "God will give you food, there is no way."

Qiao Xi happily accepted his compliment, seeing his elder brother alive and kicking, he felt a kind of poignant joy.He once thought that if Qiao Mingduan died, he would never be happy again, and would live in the shadow of his death forever.

It seems that God favors him and Qiao Mingduan, everything is fine.

Human life is impermanent, such a high-ranking person, who said that he died of illness, died of illness. He has lived to Qiao Xi's age, and has witnessed too many deaths. He is more in awe of death than anyone else.

Qiao Mingduan's experience in County X was also temporarily interrupted because he was on sick leave, but his work did not stop. Since he woke up, he has taken time to work every day to prevent his previous work from being wasted, and I am sorry for those who invested in him.

After trying on the clothes, he started talking about work with Qiao Xi. He couldn't let his brother's investment in County X really lose money.

Qiao Xi didn't want to talk, and wanted him to have a good rest. Qiao Mingduan was very serious about his work, and couldn't tolerate Qiao Xi's interruption, so Qiao Xi had no choice but to talk to him about work.

The two were talking seriously when there was a knock on the door. Qiao Xi thought it was time for Qiao Ming to take medicine, so she went to open the door, and there were the nanny and Xiao Lin standing at the door.

The nanny said: "Mr. Xiao is here, and the teacher asked me to bring him up."

Her name is Qiao Mingduan, and her mother's name is Teacher.

Xiao Lin nodded to Qiao Xi with a smile: "I was too busy with work a while ago and couldn't contact the outside world. Only then did I know that Mingduan's body has recovered a lot. I haven't been in a hurry for the past two days, so I asked for leave and came back to see He, I'm going back to the army tomorrow, so I came here tonight when I have time. I didn't expect you to be here."

Qiao Xi said that she didn't want to see Xiao Rin anymore, and Xiao Rin probably remembered this, so she made a special explanation.

Qiao Xi's complexion was not very good-looking, but she couldn't make a scene with Qiao Mingduan, so she said, "Come in. I'll go downstairs to see if there are any snacks."

The nanny said beside him, "I'll just serve some snacks."

Qiao Xi said, "I'll go and see."

The nanny knew now that he wanted to leave a separate space for Qiao Mingduan and Xiao Lin, so she led Qiao Xi downstairs tactfully.

Although this building only has two floors, there is a special elevator inside. Qiao Xi didn't take the elevator, but went down the stairs.

Xiao Lin looked back at Qiao Xi's figure who was leaving quickly, a little bit of a smile, and a little bit lost.

Because he still doesn't know whether Qiao Xi left quickly because he was afraid of him, or because he just hated him, so he didn't want to have more contact.

He really couldn't understand Qiao Xi's endless thoughts.

Xiao Lin entered the room, and Qiao Ming sat on the sofa. After this period of raising up, he gained some weight, and his face looked good. It's just that he was seriously ill, and he always felt that he was not as energetic as before.

Qiao Mingduan saw Xiao Lin, but he didn't say hello, but turned his head to get a book from the tea stool.

There are books everywhere in his room, for him to take and read at will, and recuperating here alone will not be boring.

Xiao Lin knew that he had hurt Qiao Mingduan's dignity. If his siblings were bullied by hooligans, if he couldn't stand up for them, then this matter would basically become a knot in his heart.

In fact, he always felt that he was wronged, because he didn't feel that he had caused Qiao Xi a lot of harm, but he would be wrong and use too arrogant behavior.Of course, it is mainly related to the fact that he has never had a relationship with anyone, and he doesn't understand the difference between a real rejection and a refusal.

But after Qiao Xi explained the matter to him so clearly, he naturally learned the lesson.

No host asked him to sit, so he closed the door by himself, sat next to the host, and asked: "Ming Duan, how are you doing?"

Qiao Mingduan started reading on his own, ignoring him.

Xiao Lin had no choice but to find something to say: "I've been busy recently, I didn't come to see you a while ago, it's my problem."

Qiao Mingduan: "..." Ignore him.

Xiao Lin's gaze was on his face all the time, and his body moved a little closer to him, saying: "You are in good health, this is the best thing. The conflict with Qiao Xi before was my problem. I didn't expect It hurt him so much. You should blame me for this matter. The recording evidence Qiao Xi left, if I was teasing him in private, I am not that stupid at heart. If you think this is my sophistry, You can use it as sophistry. I won’t be such an asshole in the future. We are close friends. If you think I’m wrong, you can point it out to me. You are my military adviser. I will listen to what you say and won’t take it You don't take your words seriously. You don't say a word to me now, I really don't know how to make it up to you!"

Only then did Qiao Mingduan raise his head and look at him. He was a little angry, but after so long, his anger was almost subdued.

He said: "You don't respect Qiao Xi, you don't respect me, you don't respect our Qiao family. After all, you don't take ordinary people seriously, you are too impetuous, and you don't have a down-to-earth look at the people at the bottom. You I used to tell me that your ideal is prosperity and peace. For this country, you can shed all your blood, because this is your mission. I thought at the time, following you will not be bad. In fact, you only dream for your feelings , you have great righteousness from birth, but you don't even have the little righteousness of ordinary people. You have a prejudice against Qiao Xi, so you tease him in such a bad way. Geng Qiao asked someone to set you up to take advantage of you, you I feel that I have been touched, so I have to teach him a lesson immediately. Because of your personal affairs, you can use your relationship at will. So many people who pay attention to your family, can't everyone see it?"

Qiao Mingduan's eyes were too sharp, and his speech was sharp, Xiao Lin's spine hurt from being poked by him, his face turned blue and red, and he had to say nothing after that.

Qiao Mingduan said: "At the end of the day, you are the proud son of heaven, Qiao Xi is a fool, and our Qiao family are all fools too. I have been in poor health recently and can't go to work. I read the history of the Ming Dynasty and saw the Qing people enter the customs. There are smart people in a huge China. They are all pretending to be smart, so the country perishes."

Xiao Lin sat there silently in a daze, Qiao Mingduan felt that he had talked too much, so he also became dazed.

The two sat in silence for more than ten minutes, and Xiao Lin suddenly said, "I introduced Mingyan to A Huan. It just so happens that both of them are graduate students in the same school, and they have a lot in common."

A Huan is Xiao Lin's cousin, Li Jihuan, a fairly down-to-earth young man.

Qiao Mingduan was taken aback, but Qiao Mingyan didn't tell him about it.And what Xiao Lin told him about this matter was also very clear. It was naturally inappropriate for him to be with Qiao Mingyan after teasing Qiao Xi before.But if he was not with Qiao Mingyan, the Qiao family's goal of having an in-law relationship with his family would not be achieved, so he introduced Qiao Mingyan to Li Jihuan, which was the best explanation for Qiao Mingduan.

Xiao Lin stood up: "I will always remember what you said. I'm leaving first. I have other things to do tonight. I'm going back to the army tomorrow. I have a very busy project recently. I can still ask for leave later. I'll come back and see you."

In fact, it was rare for Xiao Lin to ask him for peace in such a low voice. Qiao Mingduan knew that he should accept it as soon as he was happy, but he also knew that if he really accepted it, Xiao Lin would make more progress in the future.

He ignored Xiao Lin and continued reading.

Xiao Lin looked at him, sighed inwardly, and walked out of his bedroom door.

Xiao Lin met Qiao Xi again downstairs, Qiao Xi took the scissors, and went to the yard to accompany her aunt to trim the branches of the tree. Summer is here, and the branches grow too much in spring. If you don’t cut some off, they will flourish Ugly.

Qiao Xi glanced at him, and wanted to ask his brother if he forgave him, but he didn't ask because there were servants in the room, so no one could know that there was a conflict between Xiao Lin and Qiao Mingduan.

Qiao Xi walked out of the door quickly, and Xiao Lin followed him to the yard. When he saw the eldest aunt facing Mu Jinhua, he stepped forward and said, "Auntie, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

The eldest aunt knew that he was very busy, so she took some time out of her busy schedule to visit Qiao Mingduan, so she didn't keep him and said, "You are so busy and want to visit Mingduan, you are so caring."

Xiao Lin smiled and socialized with her, seeing that Qiao Xi kept ignoring him, he said goodbye and went to drive.

The aunt then asked Qiao Xi to see him off. His car was outside the yard, and he had to walk a few more steps to see him off.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to say to Xiao Lin: "Brother Xiao, let's go."

Seeing his aggrieved look, Xiao Lin wanted to laugh a little. Although he knew he was wrong, he still couldn't get rid of his desire to tease Qiao Xi. He felt that he was really sick, but fortunately, he kept a serious face , followed him out of the yard.

Xiao Lin went to Qiao Xi's side, and Qiao Xi, like a frightened quail, hurriedly jumped forward to distance himself from him.

Xiao Lin wanted to laugh again, he wondered how Qiao Xi could be so funny and cute.

Qiao Xi sent him to the military vehicle that should be Xiao Lin's at first glance, and said, "I'm going back."

Xiao Lin didn't talk to him, just nodded, got into the car, backed up and left.

Qiao Xi hurried back to the yard without looking back, and went upstairs to see Qiao Mingduan.

Qiao Ming sat on the sofa in a daze, Qiao Xi took the seat where Xiao Lin was sitting before, and leaned in front of him and asked, "Did Xiao Lin ask you to apologize?"

Qiao Mingduan now understands that Qiao Xi has a lot of pettiness, and he will never make mistakes in major matters. Qiao Xi is afraid that he will become a disaster for the country and cause irreconcilable conflicts between himself and Xiao Lin. It affects major events, so he may have specially asked Xiao Lin to give himself a higher level, and the two of them should not have conflicts because of him.

Qiao Mingduan became more and more sad, and forced a smile on his face, not to worry Qiao Xi, and said, "He apologized, but I didn't promise him."

There was no unnecessary expression on Qiao Xi's face, and he looked a little dignified, and said: "Brother, in fact, the matter between me and him is not a big deal, and he didn't cause any substantial harm to me, so he apologized to you." Well, you can forgive him. Otherwise, you see that I am so handsome, and because I am so handsome, I will be really disturbed, and I will not dare to spend too much effort on grooming myself in the future. Do you see that, I I didn't dare to wear too good-looking clothes, and I've been wearing very dirty clothes recently, just because I was afraid that I might accidentally be fascinated by some important person and want to rule me."

Qiao Xi said such words with a serious face, which almost made Qiao Mingduan laugh to death.

Qiao Ming smiled and leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and said, "Why are you guys so narcissistic? Are there so many men who like men?"

Qiao Xi said solemnly: "It's hard to say. There are not a few people who have teased me before, and I am too embarrassed to tell you. In case you feel that there are many invisible homosexuals around you, you have to be careful wherever you go. affect your work."

Qiao Mingduan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, then I thank you very much."

Qiao Xi: "You're welcome."

Qiao Mingduan: "How do you know that others are teasing you, not trying to curry favor with your identity?"

Qiao Xi: "..." Why did you expose me.

"I'm going to see if the food is ready in the kitchen. I'm a little hungry." Let's change the subject.

……

It happened that Geng Qiao got the reward of using the mobile phone for half an hour. When he made a video call to Qiao Xi that night, the two of them didn't have to rush to finish what they wanted to say.

Since Geng Qiao himself didn't tell him about his relationship with Lu Guangzheng, Qiao Xi restrained himself from asking.

He told Geng Qiao about his mother inviting Geng Qiao to Jiang's house: "Do you want to visit my mother?"

Of course Geng Qiao was happy, "This is what I wish for. It's just..." He showed a shy look, "What do I need to prepare? They all know about our relationship, right?"

Qiao Xi knew that he might be a little nervous, so she didn't want to put more pressure on him, and said: "My mother knew about it a long time ago. She hopes that we can get along well. She likes you very much. I, Uncle Jiang, is my stepfather. He is now Don’t know about me and you yet, but I will talk to him about it first, and then take you to his house, don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with it. My sister and brother are both your fans, and I like you very much.”

Geng Qiao laughed happily and said, "You are so kind."

Qiao Xi laughed too.

Geng Qiao worried again: "I got tanned a lot in the military camp recently, am I not handsome anymore?"

Qiao Xi laughed: "It's okay, he's still handsome."

Geng Qiao said again: "We have an assessment task ahead, and we won't be able to contact you in the last few days. Wait for me to go back."

Qiao Xi said, "What is the assessment task?"

Geng Qiao said: "It's a hostage rescue mission. It's very routine, but there are many points to be investigated. Such as intelligence collection, intelligence analysis, task arrangement, on-the-spot response, teamwork, etc., and we are still with their regular soldiers, Worry about failing the mission and losing face."

Geng Qiao smiled wryly, and Qiao Xi said, "Even if you lose, it's not ashamed. They are the regular army. It doesn't matter."

Geng Qiao felt much less stressed after being comforted by him.

……

Qiao Xi just wanted to tell Professor Jiang about Geng Qiao, and Professor Jiang came to his door.

At the beginning of June, the defense of graduates of various colleges and universities was in full swing. Professor Jiang was invited by a friend in the industry to participate in the defense of the other student's doctoral thesis.Professor Jiang came by plane. After the defense meeting was over, he did not attend the thank-you banquet in the teaching and research office of the other party, because he called Qiao Xi in the morning and asked if Qiao Xi would have time to have dinner together this evening. Qiao Xi had something to say. Talk to him and agree.He has always been aware of Qiao Xi's movements, because Qiao Xi will call Yaoyao basically every day, and most of them will mention where he is and what he is doing.

Professor Jiang came out of the college building of Wenxin College, and Qiao Xi's car was already waiting for him under the shade of a tree not far downstairs.

Professor Jiang was carrying his computer bag and a document bag. He was looking at his mobile phone while walking forward. He was wearing glasses and saw the WeChat message from Qiao Xi, saying that he had found the college building where he was. He raised his head and looked for Qiao Xi's car.

Qiao Xi sat in the car and watched him walk and didn't pay much attention to the road. With the psychological shadow of Qiao Ming's car accident, he was afraid that Professor Jiang would be hit by a car, so he got out of the car quickly, stood by the car door and called him: "Uncle Jiang! "

Qiao Xi's cars have always been low-key, mainly because he has no persistent love for luxury cars, so the few cars are mainly practical and beautiful, not particularly conspicuous.

However, others were conspicuous. As soon as they got out of the car and stood still beside the car, they attracted the attention of many students on the road.

There were also girls whispering to their classmates, "Look at that man, he looks so handsome, could he be a star?"

"Will the stars come here, wake up."

Qiao Xi didn't care about other people's gazes. Seeing that Professor Jiang saw her, she stopped calling him.

Professor Jiang came over. Now that the weather is hot, Qiao Xi wore a white silk shirt with dark embroidered cloud patterns and a pair of simple jeans. His hair had grown to the ears, and he had a side part. He had a handsome face and complexion. Very white, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his face, his expression was cold, the evening sun reflected on his body, there was a sense of beauty that made the surrounding environment refreshed by him.

Most of Qiao Xi's appearance was inherited from his mother, such as peach blossom eyes, a straight nose bridge, and slightly fleshy lips with prominent beads. The lips are as delicate as petals.It's just that his face is tougher than Ms. Luo's, with a higher forehead and a sharper chin, so on the whole, Ms. Luo has a round face and looks more blessed, while Qiao Xi is much more beautiful.

Professor Jiang came to the car, adjusted his glasses again, and said apologetically, "Did I delay your business? In fact, you don't need to pick me up. I'll just take a taxi and go to the hotel."

Ms. Luo's company has a branch in City B, and she often comes to deal with business, plus there are other social interactions, so she also has a residence here.

But Qiao Xi seldom goes there, unless Ms. Luo is in City B and asks him to go there.

When Professor Jiang comes over, of course he doesn't need to stay in a hotel, he can just stay in Ms. Luo's house.

Because most of Ms. Luo's companies are listed, and there are partners, not to mention Ms. Luo's own intentions. Of course, it is impossible for the partners to let Ms. Luo and Professor Jiang get married. When a divorce occurs, the company will be affected.

So the two had their property notarized before they got married. Professor Jiang and Ms. Luo could not get Ms. Luo's property when they got married. However, Ms. Luo did not treat him badly. Even under the names of the two, there are other properties such as stocks or cash, which were also donated to Professor Jiang, so Professor Jiang is not considered poor.

But the house in City B is not his, it can only be called Ms. Luo's property.Qiao Xi and Yaoyao have inheritance rights, but he does not.

But Professor Jiang should not care about these so far.

Qiao Xi said: "I'm not very busy today, I thought it would be good to drive to the school to see the scenery."

He helped Professor Jiang carry the computer bag and put it in the back seat of the car. Professor Jiang said: "Hey, there are some books and notebook materials in this bag, which are very heavy. I can just put them in by myself."

Qiao Xi said, "I'm a young man, I can just come."

He has always lacked a warm expression, but Professor Jiang knew that he was nice, so he stopped being polite after hearing what he said, and handed him the document bag in his hand and put it in the back seat of the car before going to sit in the co-pilot seat .

Qiao Xi also got into the car, checked the navigation on her mobile phone, and then started the car and set off.

He said: "I have a business partner who has opened a barbecue restaurant since last year. It is now a chain store. The meat in this barbecue restaurant is all invested by him in a farm in Inner Mongolia. He raises cattle and sheep himself. The meat and vegetables are also grown on his own farm. From the ground to the dining table, everything is within his control, and the meat and vegetables are guaranteed to be fresh every day. His idea is good, and the business is also good. I will return it to him I invested some money. He invited me to eat two days ago, I think it’s good, and I’ll take you to try it today.”

Professor Jiang said with a smile: "Then I'm lucky. You don't like meat very much, but you praise this barbecue restaurant so much, it should be because the taste is particularly good."

Qiao Xi said: "Basically the taste comes from the original flavor of the meat, which is tender and delicious. It is really good. And the main reason is that the price is very affordable, which is very rare."

Qiao Xi is not short of good food, but his business is not just about making high-end products, he can make money by allowing ordinary people to have the best life experience at a price that can be consumed.

Qiao Xi drove the car out, just in time for the traffic jam at work, but the two are stepfather and son, even if they don't have many common topics in business, talking about family affairs is enough to pass a lot of time, and Professor Jiang He is a slow person with a gentle temper, and he can take his time when encountering anything. When the two of them are not impatient, the traffic jam is not so unbearable.

It was already an hour after the car arrived at the entrance of the barbecue main restaurant and parked in the parking space. If there was no traffic jam, it would have been enough for 10 minutes.

Qiao Xi had reserved a box before, and came out with a VIP card. The foreman, who had only seen him two days ago, led him and Professor Jiang into the box with a smile on his face.

The setting in the box is relatively simple, and it cannot be compared with Qiao Xi and Professor Jiang's usual consumption places. There is no bathroom in the box, and Qiao Xi said to Professor Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, I'll go to the bathroom first."

Professor Jiang said, "Well, let's go."

Qiao Xi went to the bathroom. Professor Jiang looked through the menu carefully. The consumption of this restaurant is indeed very low, about [-] yuan per person.

He asked the foreman to recommend dishes. The foreman knew that Qiao Xi was a friend of the company's boss and an investor in the chain store, but she was not overly obsequious, so she told Professor Jiang according to the characteristics of the store, and invited him to see how the meat was processed. String window.

Professor Jiang is a person who loves life, he looks at everything, and he really went to the window with her.

The kitchen is in the window, and the passing guests can see the inside. The inside is very hygienic, clean and clean. The staff wear work clothes, hats, masks and gloves. The beef and mutton are cut from a large piece of meat on the spot. Wearing it now, it looks very fresh at first glance.

Professor Jiang was also interested in watching it for a while, so he stood by the window and ordered some meat. Thinking that Qiao Xi likes to eat vegetarian dishes, he ordered some more vegetarian dishes, and then ordered the green plum wine in the store to drink by himself, for the driver Qiao Xi ordered mango juice, he remembered that Qiao Xi liked it.

He went to wash his hands before he returned to the box, but by this time, Qiao Xi hadn't come back yet.

Qiao Xi went to the bathroom and washed his hands for a few minutes. Because men and women shared the washbasin in the bathroom, there were a few girls next to him who kept staring at him, and boldly took pictures of him. Qiao Xi rarely went to this kind of place to eat , so when he was secretly photographed, he was not in a good mood, but the other party was a timid little girl, and he couldn't be cruel, so he had to say to the other party: "If you took a picture of me just now, please delete the photo!"

Qiao Xi's face was cold, and the other person's face was flushed, holding the phone and unwilling to delete it, so Qiao Xi had no choice but to walk in front of her, "Please delete the photo you just took!"

The other party was about to cry, and he clicked into the photos with his mobile phone, but seeing the beautiful photos inside, he couldn't bear to delete them, so he begged Qiao Xi, "It's really beautiful, can you not delete it?"

Qiao Xi glanced at him, and it was him who lowered his head slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was serious about washing his hands.

Because the light here shines from both sides to the middle, it just shines on him, so that the light and shadow of his face contour are just right. He looks good already, and the light and shadow are beautiful again, which is really good-looking.

Qiao Xi was also shocked at how she took such a good-looking picture of herself. It's a pity to delete it. He was at war with man and nature. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone expressionlessly and said, "Pass it to me. You just It will not be deleted, but it cannot be circulated.”

The other party nodded quickly, smiling until his eyes were shining, thinking nervously, could he still add the handsome guy on WeChat.

But the handsome guy said, "Use Bluetooth to send it."

she:"……"

She went to turn on her bluetooth, and then glanced at Qiao Xi's phone. When she saw that the background picture on the other party's screen was Geng Qiao, she was shocked, "Ah, you are also Geng Shaofan!"

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, his pictures are very safe. They are not the pictures of Geng Qiao at home, but the portrait photos he took before. He said, "Pass it on."

Qiao Xi got her own photo from the girl, and told her again: "Don't spread it outside." Then she left.

When he returned to the box, Professor Jiang said: "This restaurant is indeed unique. I can bring your younger siblings to eat next time."

Qiao Xi asked, "Have you ordered?"

Professor Jiang took the printed order list and handed it to Qiao Xi: "Order, let's see what else you want to add?"

Qiao Xi glanced at the list and said, "Enough, I can't eat much."

The two father and son sat opposite each other, and after a while the waiter came and served charcoal fire and dishes. Professor Jiang said, "I can do the roasting myself, and there is no need for people inside."

After the waiter left, Professor Jiang started to barbecue by himself, and Qiao Xi also helped.

Professor Jiang’s cooking skills are average, but he likes to cook. Qiao Xi’s cooking skills are good, and he eats a lot of good food, and he knows how to make it more delicious, so Professor Jiang puts on barbecue, and Qiao Xi checks it out. Soon the two of them ate Here comes a finished product that tastes good.

Professor Jiang is very satisfied. Compared with eating big meals, he always prefers to eat some home-cooked dishes at home.

At this time, the two father and son sat opposite each other and grilled a few skewers of beef and mutton, which felt very good.

Qiao Xi didn't have much demand for meat, so he stopped eating after a few chopsticks, so Professor Jiang hurriedly baked vegetarian dishes for him.

The two had almost eaten, and Qiao Xi said to Professor Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, I will take my boyfriend home in a few days, and my mother asked me to talk to you first."

Professor Jiang was flipping through the slices of bread on the grill. Because of his words, he almost poked the slices of bread into the charcoal fire. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and then smiled and said: "I always thought you didn't want to talk about it. As for my friend, it turns out that I have a boyfriend, which is a good thing!"

The sleeves of Qiao Xi's white shirt were rolled up, revealing his white arms. He supported his face with his palms, eating less and seeing much less. Professor Jiang gave him another bunch of baked bread, but he refused: " I'm full and can't eat anymore."

"Oh, oh..." Professor Jiang took it back to his plate, a little more nervous than before.

It seems that he doesn't care about the fact that his stepson is gay.

Professor Jiang hesitated for a while and asked, "When did you make friends? We don't even know."

Qiao Xi said: "Mom knows it's been a while. The main reason is that my boyfriend is busy and didn't have time to go home and visit you before."

"Oh..." Professor Jiang nodded. According to Qiao Xi's personality, Professor Jiang actually thought that he might be gay before, but it was difficult to ask. Now that this matter has been implemented, he feels very complicated.

Professor Jiang asked: "What does he do? Is he older than you?"

With Qiao Xi's high demands on life, Professor Jiang felt that his demands on his partner would only be higher.Moreover, Qiao Xi has always lived alone, and she has a delicate side in her personality. He probably needs a very tolerant person to fall in love with him.

Qiao Xi didn't expect Professor Jiang to think so much, he said, "You've heard of Geng Qiao."

Professor Jiang was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Qiao Xi looked at him for two seconds, then lowered her head and smiled, as if she thought Professor Jiang's reaction was funny.

Professor Jiang asked in surprise, "Is that actor?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

Although Professor Jiang himself entered a wealthy family, he was not considered to have entered this circle. His circle was still his academic circle. Therefore, he didn't see much about the combination of wealthy businessmen and entertainers in the entertainment industry. Star, he was very surprised, "Is...is he very young?"

Qiao Xi said, "She looks six years younger than me."

Professor Jiang hesitated and said, "Is this safe?"

Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "You are several years younger than my mother, don't you live your life as usual?"

After all, he was Qiao Xi's stepfather. When Professor Jiang was with Ms. Luo at the beginning, he had a lot of psychological burden. He would always feel like he bowed his head when facing Qiao Xi. At this time, Qiao Xi asked him, he Just a little hot again.

However, life is one's own, and it's meaningless to think too much. The most important thing is to live a harmonious life at the pace of yourself and your lover.

Therefore, his mentality quickly became balanced, and he said: "If you think it's good, then it's good, and age doesn't matter."

Qiao Xi took a sip of the freshly squeezed mango juice, which had a strong mango flavor.

He suddenly asked Professor Jiang: "You were with my mother back then, why did you stay with her?"

In fact, Qiao Xi has always been very curious, because Professor Jiang is not the kind of person who admires power, on the contrary, he is quite peaceful, has his own career, and has his own academic goals. with a man several years older than him
