take advantage of

of. ”

"Oh..." Qi Hao thought for a while before asking, "Then do you still... love him?"

Xiao Qing said, "I don't know."

Qi Hao's heart sank, but Xiao Qing said with some hesitation: "We had a very happy life together. He said he wanted to live with me. I...I don't want to be alone. However, the two Since individuals have decided to be together, shouldn't they keep their word?"

When Xiao Qing said this, he probably felt that these remarks were very naive, so he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm probably just a person who gets by. Once I get used to something, I don't want to change it easily."

"That's not loving." Qi Hao concluded solemnly, "If you loved him, you wouldn't talk so much nonsense."

"Why?" Xiao Qing asked.

"Love is love, there are so many reasons." Qi Hao said.

Xiao Qingzheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded for a while, and said "Mmm".Qi Hao heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and gave him ten thousand praises for the cool and quick wit that he just made up in a flash of inspiration.

"Qi Hao, thank you." Xiao Qing said to him with a smile, the expression on his face seemed much more relaxed.

"You don't have to thank me," Qi Hao leaned back on the sofa, stretched out his body in all directions, stretched one arm carelessly to the back of the sofa behind Xiao Qing, and said with a smirk, "I do all of this Because of the conspiracy, I have not pure motives."

Xiao Qing nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at Uncle Qi who was paralyzed beside him, concentrating for a second, then approached Qi Hao with lightning speed, and kissed him on the cheek.

Uncle Qi blushed.

Qi Hao held a meeting all afternoon, attended the discussion meeting of two project teams, and held a two-hour video conference.When I returned to the office and picked up the phone, I found several missed calls, three of which were from "Ms. Ye".

Ms. Ye is none other than his mother.

As for why Qi Hao remarked her as "Ms. Ye", it's a long story. It originated from his long and full of "fighting" adolescence, and he was full of irony towards his busy working mother.Later, this title gradually became a joke between mother and child.

Qi Hao called back, and it took a long time for someone on the other side to answer the call. After a burst of tinkling noises, Ms. Ye's rather cheerful voice came: "Hao Hao, why didn't you answer the phone just now!"

Qi Hao said, "I went to a meeting without my mobile phone. Where are you? Why are you so noisy?"

Ms. Ye said, "I'm almost at your little house."

"What!! Where did you say you are!!" Qi Hao almost yelled out of his voice, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, and asked, "Didn't you come back next month!"

Ms. Ye said: "Come back first, and go back in two days. I bought the things you asked for, and I will put them in your room later."

"No... I... I'll go home and get it myself..." Qi Hao resisted with the last hope.

"It's going to be difficult waiting for you to go home." Ms. Ye teased, "Come on, I'm already at your place, so hang up."

"Mom—" Qi Hao shouted in despair, but Ms. Ye was so happy that she missed her son's sorrow.

Xiao Qing took a nap in the afternoon, and it was evening when he opened his eyes.Qi Hao said in the morning that he might have to work overtime tonight and let him eat by himself.He hesitated for a while between "do it yourself" or "order takeaway", and suddenly remembered Qi Hao's ruthless criticism of several restaurants around him last time, and finally decided to make something by himself, at least his ears will be clean afterwards.

There is leftover rice from yesterday in the refrigerator, Xiao Qing found some ham and vegetables, and prepared to crack an egg to make fried rice.He thinks that cooking is not bad, but it is inevitable that he will make a mistake, put down two spoonfuls of salt, and add diced ham, it is really salty.

After taking two bites, Xiao Qing felt that it was not good, so he went to wash two more cucumbers, thinking that he could neutralize the taste.As soon as I came out of the kitchen with cucumbers, I heard movement at the door, as if someone was opening the door with a key.

Come back so early?Forgot something?

Xiao Qing grabbed a cucumber in his mouth, freed one hand and twisted the door lock a few times. A strange woman stood outside the door, holding the key in a daze.

"Who are you?" The two stared blankly for a while, and the woman at the door finally asked this question.

Xiao Qing almost choked to death on the cucumber in his mouth, quickly took it off, swallowed the contents in a few mouthfuls, and asked, "Who are you?"

"What's your relationship with Qi Hao?" The woman then asked.

Xiao Qing was taken aback again. This woman has the key and knows Qi Hao. Judging by her age... He hurriedly said, "I'm staying here temporarily, are you?"

The woman looked at him quite carefully, blinked her eyes, smiled suddenly, and said, "So that's what happened... You have drunk so much soup from our family, and you still ask who I am?"

Xiao Qing's brain ran at high speed for a few seconds, as if he had understood something, he hurriedly said in panic like waking up from a dream: "Ah... ah, a... aunt, hello!"

Xiao Qing heard from Qi Hao that his parents divorced when he was in junior high school.It is said that his parents got together less often and separated more, his mother was busy with work in China, and his father went abroad to do scientific research, so the relationship gradually faded.Qi Hao said that he had already guessed it at that time, and he waited until one day when both his parents came home and told him that they had divorced, he actually felt a little relieved.

Qi Hao was very calm when he talked about this, but Xiao Qing still saw something lonely in his eyes, which belonged to the boy who grew up overnight many years ago.Later, probably out of concern that his parents were gone, Qi Hao changed the topic elsewhere.But Xiao Qing remembers very clearly that Qi Hao said that his mother was a "workaholic" back then, and many times he asked his assistant to handle his affairs. The assistant respectfully called his mother "Ms. Ye". He also deliberately called her "Ms. Ye" for many years.

Now, this Ms. Ye is sitting at the dining table and said to Xiao Qing: "You eat yours, it will be cold in a while."

Xiao Qing agreed, scooped up a spoonful of fried rice and put it into his mouth.

Ms. Ye said: "My son is gay, but our family does not object."

Xiao Qing almost choked on the intake pipe after taking a mouthful of rice, and finally got a taste of Qi Hao's "resolute and straight-forward female president". He quickly chewed a few mouthfuls and nodded repeatedly.

Ms. Ye asked, "How did you and Qi Hao meet?"

Xiao Qing said: "We are classmates in high school. We haven't been in touch since Qi Hao went abroad. We just met by chance a few months ago."

"Are you high school classmates?" Ms. Ye asked in surprise, "What's your name?"

Xiao Qing said, "My name is Xiao Qing."

"Xiao Qing...you are Xiao Qing?" Ms. Ye's smile deepened and she asked, "Do you live in the same dormitory as Haohao?"

Xiao Qing nodded and said, "Yes, our beds are next to each other. Do you know me?"

Ms. Ye said: "I know, Haohao often talked about you to me at that time."

Xiao Qing asked, "What did he say about me?"

Ms. Ye didn't answer, instead she looked at his face and said, "You don't look very well, are you sick?"

Seeing that she was very concerned about her question, Xiao Qing was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I caught a cold a few days ago, but now I'm fine."

Ms. Ye was thoughtful, and after a while of silence, she still said: "Well...you can increase the temperature in the room in the future, and then lower it later. Don't think that you don't care about your body when you are young, and that you are not sick because you are sick. "

"Oh..." Xiao Qing was confused by the words, but he still nodded in agreement.

Ms. Ye was quite talkative, and chatted with Xiao Qing about Qi Hao's childhood while eating. Seeing that he was almost finished eating, she went to the kitchen to make him a bowl of tomato and egg soup.Xiao Qing was flattered and obediently drank a big bowl.

Before leaving, Ms. Ye pointed to the plastic bag that was put aside when she entered the door, and said to Xiao Qing: "This is the medicine that Haohao asked me to bring him from abroad. It is just some health care products. You...you use it yourself. .I go first."

When Qi Hao hurried back, he didn't see Ms. Ye, only Xiao Qing was washing the dishes slowly in the kitchen.

Seeing his impatience, Xiao Qing tried his best to express his words, and said, "Well... your mother came just now. I'll bring you something."

Qi Hao took a deep breath and asked: "Did she not ask anything? I really didn't expect her to come. She called me and I didn't answer! Blame me, blame me, I didn't tell her that you live with me, she is here Why did she suddenly come back from a business trip abroad... She didn't say anything nonsense, did she?"

Xiao Qing said: "Your mother is very nice, she even made me tomato and egg soup."

"Really..." Qi Hao asked doubtfully, "What did she say?"

Xiao Qing said: "She said that you asked her to bring you some medicine from abroad for you to use... well, I put it in the bedroom for you."

Qi Hao was very surprised to see the hesitant expression on his face.Xiao Qing was not in good health some time ago. He knew his mother was on an inspection tour in Australia, so he asked her to buy some medicine, which were nothing more than health care products for nourishing blood and nourishing qi.It wasn't until he entered the bedroom and looked through the bag of medicines that he finally realized something was wrong.

It was the first time that Qi Hao felt that the piece of English on the medicine bottle was unclear like a ghostly talisman. He suppressed his trembling and casually "scavenged" a bottle, and was almost overwhelmed by the tone of the advertisement:

Strengthen the kidneys to prepare for pregnancy and replenish energy, pure imported formula, make a mighty man
