The richest man reborn

Said, "I didn't expect you to have friends who fly by plane."

Ji Tao shrugged.

"How about this." Lying on the car, Tang Bing said, "I'll pick you up with you. Anyway, I'm off today and I don't have to go to work. I'm free at home, and you can save on taxis."

After Tang Bing said that, Ji Tao couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

Sitting in the car, Ji Tao said while fastening his seat belt: "People like you are very free, and you still have holidays."

Tang Bing couldn't help laughing and crying: "We are also human, of course we need a vacation."

After that, the two chatted casually, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. Ji Tao found that the two of them could get along quite well. If he really didn't mean that to him, it would be nice to be friends.

The two were chatting and arrived at the airport soon. Coincidentally, the two saw Fang Lin as soon as they arrived at the airport. Just as Ji Tao was about to extend his hand to say hello, he saw Fang Lin coming out again. one person.

49

Isn't that...Xu Minghua?Why is he here?

Ji Tao was still in a daze, when Tang Bing, who was standing next to him, suddenly grabbed his shoulder from behind: "Who are you going to pick up?"

So, as soon as Xu Minghua and Fang Lin came out of the airport, they saw a man in his 20s hugging (?) Ji Tao from behind. Although Ji Tao quickly broke free, Xu Minghua still felt uncomfortable...very upset !

And for some reason, looking at that man, he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. Although he didn't know where this sense of crisis came from, it didn't stop him from hating that man.

Concealed full of anger, Xu Minghua didn't care about his brother-in-law anymore, walked up to Ji Tao in a hurry, then hugged Ji Tao's neck, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days , do you miss brother?"

Before waking up from the fact that Xu Minghua would come over, Ji Tao was... shocked by Xu Minghua's actions, not to mention that he is still begging for forgiveness, even if he has never done this before, at most he just pinches The face, now it has risen to move the mouth? (Huh? Something seems wrong!)

Seeing Ji Tao standing there in a daze, Xu Minghua became unhappy, stretched out his hand and pinched the other side of Ji Tao's face, and said unhappily, "Let's talk."

"I think about it... I think about it." Ji Tao blinked his eyes and said, anyway, he said that he thought about it and didn't need money. Besides, if Xu Minghua didn't blame him anymore, it would be worth it.

Now Xu Minghua was finally happy, and then turned his head to look at Tang Bing, his eyes couldn't hide the provocation.

Tang Bing couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw it. Is this implying ownership?

At this time, Fang Lin, who was walking behind, finally came late, and seeing that the three of them were silent, he asked, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Ji Tao remembered that he hadn't introduced the few people, so he quickly pulled Xu Minghua's hand off his body, then pointed to Tang Bing and explained to Xu Minghua and Fang Lin: "This is Tang Bing. Friends, when I picked you up, he happened to be free, so I took advantage of his car to come. "

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Xu Minghua and Fang Lin and introduced to Tang Bing: "These two are mine..."

Ji Tao was silent for a while, wondering how to introduce the two of them, did he mean friends, or did he usually call them by their names at home?

Seeing Ji Tao's silence, Xu Minghua simply said first: "I'm his brother Xu Minghua, and next to me is my uncle Fang Lin."

"Brother?" Tang Bing raised his eyebrows, "My dear?"

"No, but it's almost as close as a kiss to me." Seeing that the situation was not right, Ji Tao quickly continued.

"Oh~" Tang Bing nodded and looked at the two of them back and forth with unclear meaning in his eyes.

"Well, I think we'd better go out and talk about it first." Fang Lin, who had been neglected all this time, said with a smile.

Today, Fang Lin is wearing a light blue and white sportswear and a pair of pure white sneakers. In addition, he is already very handsome and his skin is very fair. It just adds a lot of vigor to him , plus his face looks very young, not like someone his age at all, so he looks like a college student who just came out of society, sunny and handsome!

This made Tang Bing, who already liked men, couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but after all, he was no longer a young man who just came out of society, and he had been in love a few times, and he was not a dumb boy who had never been in love. So he looked away after just a few glances, then smiled and beckoned a few people to go out.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Fang Lin sat in the co-pilot's seat when he got in the car, and the rest of Ji Tao and Xu Minghua took advantage of the situation and sat in the back.

After the car started, Tang Bing turned his head to look at Ji Tao who was behind him: "I think it's almost noon at this point, why don't we find a hotel to meet your two friends?"

Ji Tao thought for a while, and it was indeed almost noon, and Tang Bing was helpful, so it would be unreasonable for the three of them to have dinner without him, so he nodded and agreed.

"Who is he?" After Tang Bing turned his head away, Xu Minghua asked in a low voice, with an obviously unhappy expression on his face.

"He..." Ji Tao thought for a while, and then gave the safest answer: "It's the brother-in-law of the factory director who signed the contract with me, and he's familiar with him after a while."

"Oh." Hearing that Ji Tao's tone obviously didn't take him seriously, Xu Minghua felt relieved.

"That...brother, didn't you say you couldn't come when I asked you before?" Ji Tao also imitated Xu Minghua's previous appearance and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, this." Xu Minghua kept turning the bracelet on the other arm with his fingers, "I didn't want to come, but my uncle insisted on pulling me."

Seeing the bracelet on Xu Minghua's left hand, Ji Tao's eyes lit up. Didn't he buy it for him when he went to K city with them a few years ago?

Since I bought it as a birthday present for him, he has basically worn it, but when I came home from here a few days ago, I saw that his hands were empty, and I presumably took it off because I was angry with myself. Now that he is wearing it again, does it mean that he has forgiven himself?

Seeing Ji Tao's silly smile, Xu Minghua frowned, and then realized why he was laughing when he looked down at the bracelet on his left wrist.

Thinking that I just expressed that I didn't want to be friends with him before I came here, and now I'm wearing the birthday present from him, I immediately feel a little embarrassed, but since I've already put it on, I can't take it off in front of him, right? , doesn't that indirectly mean that I have been paying attention to him?

In the end Xu Minghua simply leaned back and pretended to close his eyes to rest.

Seeing Xu Minghua like this, Ji Tao thought he was tired from the flight, so he didn't bother him too much.

The two people sitting in the front row were unfamiliar, and Tang Bing was still driving, and Fang Lin was too embarrassed to disturb his attention, so no one said anything, and the car was very quiet for a while.

Because he is a native of the city, Tang Bing is still very familiar with City C, so he didn't choose that kind of high-end big hotel, but chose a mid-range one.

The dishes inside are quite good, the taste is also very good, and the price is relatively not too expensive.

Originally, because they did not reserve a private room in advance, several people planned to sit in the lobby to eat, but when they went, there happened to be a private room where the guests had finished eating, and the private room was for six people, which was enough for four of them, so they I chose to eat in that private room.

When ordering, several people unanimously handed over the important task to Tang Bing, because by looking at his appearance, he knew that he must come here often, and he must be very clear about which dishes are delicious.

I heard his sister said that because she didn't know that Ji Tao didn't eat spicy food, she made a table full of spicy dishes, so that he didn't eat a few chopsticks. Naturally, Tang Bing would not make this mistake again.

Although City C is the hometown of spicy dishes, there are still a few dishes that taste good and don't need to be spicy. Even if spicy dishes have to be added, he also emphasized to the waiter that it must be slightly spicy.

I have to say that after getting used to the cuisine of my hometown, eating other cuisines is actually quite good. At least the three of Ji Tao think it is good, and the food is also delicious.

Probably because he wanted to show the good relationship between him and Ji Tao in front of Tang Bing. During the meal, Xu Minghua kept adding food and pouring water for Ji Tao. The intimacy was even higher than before.

And Ji Tao also cooperates surprisingly because of the guilt in his heart, and sometimes he will give Xu Minghua a little bit. The pink aura (are you sure?) between them makes Fang Lin wonder a little bit after being surprised by their interaction. Get rid of goosebumps.

Tang Bing watched their interaction, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he didn't know why, he also joined the army of food for Ji Tao, and deliberately said that he and Ji Tao were very familiar, emotional Nice, misleading words.

Although Tang Bing was used to being familiar with himself, and would sometimes say some plausible and misleading words, Ji Tao still felt that he was a little abnormal today, anyway he felt very weird.

But in front of Xu Minghua and Fang Lin, he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he could only talk to him as little as possible, but Tang Bing acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to talk and serve Ji Tao.

Seeing him like this, Xu Minghua seemed to refuse to admit defeat, and made even more efforts to add food to Ji Tao, as if he would not give up if he could not die.

As for the other of the four, Fang Lin was watching the interaction of the three of them with his chopsticks in hand, and the smile on his face never stopped.

I really don’t know if I should say that birds of a feather flock together, I didn’t expect to meet someone of the same kind today, and... watching Xu Minghua fight with high spirits, it’s like comparing Tang Bing, Fang Lin, who has more food The smile on his face deepened.

Because the two of them were competing to pick up vegetables for themselves, after a while, the plate in front of Ji Tao was piled up with vegetables, trembling slightly, making Ji Tao feel that they might collapse at any time.

"That...you don't want to pick any more, I can't finish it." Looking at the two people who were still putting food into his plate, Ji Tao said in a low voice.

"Okay." Tang Bing looked at Ji Tao tenderly and said, "Xiao Tao said he doesn't want to eat, so I won't hold it."

Huh~~ Seeing Tang Bing like this, Ji Tao couldn't help but shudder, there's no way, Tang Bing talking like this...it's really scary!

Ji Tao was counting how many goosebumps he had lost in his heart, when he suddenly heard a "pop", it turned out that Xu Minghua put his chopsticks forcefully on the glass table, and then stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you guys use it slowly." After finishing speaking, he left angrily.

"He... is he angry?" Ji Tao asked Fang Lindao with some doubts.

Fang Lin smiled and said, "Probably." After finishing speaking, he looked at Tang Bing who was sitting opposite him and said with an unchanged smile, "I said, my friend, just now Xiaotao said that your name is Tang Bing, right? Then I will follow him, Tang Bing, my nephew is still young, so please stop teasing him.”

Tang Bing touched his nose when he heard the words, well, he just thought Xu Minghua was very funny, and his desire to monopolize Ji Tao was too obvious, so he teased him on a whim, but he didn't expect Fang Lin to say directly Coming out made him a little embarrassed.

"Cough...well, I'll go to the bathroom too." After finishing speaking, he fled out of the private room, strangely, because when the man named Fang Lin smiled at him, he felt very stressed.

After Tang Bing went out, he saw that there was no outsider in the private room, so Ji Tao asked the waiter to change another plate, and then asked Fang Lin, "Uncle, didn't Minghua say he won't come? Why did he come again suddenly?"

Putting a piece of food with chopsticks into his mouth, Fang Lin replied, "It was my sister who asked me to take him out to relax."

"Godmother..."

"Well, in fact, there is one aspect of relaxation, and another aspect is my brother-in-law... Well, it is not my brother-in-law now, it is Xu Minghua's father."

"Uncle's reason?" Ji Tao frowned upon hearing this, "He... went to find my brother."

"Yeah." Nodding his head, Fang Lin said, "You may not know that Minghua and his father have always had a very good relationship. Although his father is often away, he will bring him gifts every time he comes back. He was also very used to him when he was young, basically as long as Minghua's demands were not too excessive, he would satisfy him, and Minghua would always talk to him about things, so this time his father's cheating was a blow to him. "

Ji Tao thought of the fight that made the relationship between himself and Xu Minghua soar, his father's worried expression in the hospital, and his relieved expression when he saw that his son was fine, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"However..." Fang Lin continued, "Although Minghua blames his father in his heart, he still cares about him. His father often visits him these days, explaining and apologizing. , plus he didn't want his parents to divorce at first, just to prevent his mother from being more sad, so he didn't say anything and followed my sister all the time."

"That's why the godmother was afraid that Minghua would change her mind, so..."

"Well, that's what my sister meant, but it's true to let him out to relax. To be honest, Minghua has really matured a lot these days, but relatively, he was injured quite a bit. My sister just heard that I want to come out, and you are here, so let me bring him here."

Hearing Fang Lin's words, Ji Tao suddenly felt sorry for that boy. What a happy family it was supposed to be. His mother loved him and his father spoiled him. Choose one.

"Don't worry." Looking at Fang Lin, Ji Tao said as if promising, "I will definitely take advantage of these few days to let him relax."

Fang Lin nodded when he heard the words, then looked at Ji Tao and said suddenly: "By the way, I have two questions for you."

Ji Tao nodded, took a sip of water from his water glass and said, "Ask, why do you have to say it?"

"Then I'll ask, that Tang Bing...has he taken a fancy to you?"

Ji Tao: "Pfft! Cough..."

"Also, you didn't inform Minghua when you came here last time. Is it because you are afraid that he will fall in love with you, or because you are afraid that you will fall in love with him?"

Ji Tao: "Puff!! Cough...cough...!!!"

Xu Minghua saw Tang Bing coming to wash his hands outside after finishing his physical needs. For some reason, he dawdled for a while while washing his hands. After washing his hands, he stretched out his hand to turn off the faucet, shook off the water on his hand, and pretended to inadvertently ask, "How did you meet my brother?"

Knowing that the brother Xu Minghua was referring to was Ji Tao, Tang Bing smiled and replied: "Speaking of it, it's also fate. We happened to be next to each other when we took the train, and we happened to meet several times when we arrived in City C. Finally, I also found out that the two children he rescued inadvertently were my nephews, and I became familiar with them after coming and going."

Hearing Tang Bing's answer, Xu Minghua twitched his lips, and then went out. What kind of fate can compare to my three-year relationship with the squad leader, and he even recognized my mother as his godmother.

Seeing Xu Minghua go out, Tang Bing shook his head amusedly. Seeing the situation, he didn't realize what his unusual possessiveness towards Ji Tao meant, tsk tsk!

Walking to the private room with a little resentment, as soon as Xu Minghua opened the door of the private room, he saw that Ji Tao's face was abnormally red, and splashes could be seen in his eyes.

Frowning and sitting next to Ji Tao, Xu Minghua said, "What's wrong, my uncle bullied you?"

Hearing Xu Minghua's words, Fang Lin couldn't help being a little dumbfounded: "I know you and Xiaotao have a good relationship, but you don't have to doubt me because of this, he just choked when drinking water, okay?"

Usually hearing Fang Lin say this, Ji Tao still felt nothing, but after the topic just now, he felt inexplicably guilty, and then his face turned even redder.

Xu Minghua mistakenly thought that he was embarrassed, so he rubbed his head amusedly: "What an idiot, I can choke on my saliva."

If it was before, Ji Tao would definitely take this opportunity to ask Xu Minghua if he didn't blame him anymore, but now he can only avoid Xu Minghua's hand in embarrassment.

Seeing Ji Tao's actions, the smile on Xu Minghua's face froze, and he said unhappily, "Is there poison in my hands?"

"No... just..." It's just that your brother-in-law asked me if I was afraid that you would fall in love with me, how could you let me get along with you as close as before!

Fortunately, Tang Bing also came in at this time, which can be regarded as solving the crisis for him.

It's just that Ji Tao's food was not as smooth as before. It was so stingy, and Fang Lin had just finished asking himself those two questions before, when Xu Minghua came in, and he hadn't had time to answer, and he hadn't had time Find out what Fang Lin meant.

But if he asks this, does it mean that he is also?Otherwise, you shouldn't think of this problem, right?It's not like Tang Bing has a little bit of love for him after just seeing him... so what?

Thinking of this, Ji Tao immediately felt that the idiom that like attracts birds of a feather is true, otherwise why would there be so many men who like men around him.

In short, the meal was finished without any risk. When it was almost finished, Tang Bing answered the phone and left as if he had an urgent task, leaving the three of them behind.

Originally, Ji Tao wanted to arrange a place to live for the two of them first, but Fang Lin proposed to meet Director Bai first, after all, they would cooperate in the future.

Hearing his proposal, Ji Tao couldn't help sighing that the people around him were more efficient than the other, such as Wang Feng, Bai Hao, and Fang Lin.

He took Fang Lin and Xu Minghua to Bai Hao's factory, and after introducing them to each other, Ji Tao carefully explained his intentions. After all, he was the one who signed the contract with him, but the follow-up installation work suddenly changed If this kind of thing is not handled properly, the cooperation between them may change.

It's just that Bai Hao simply accepted it after hearing the reason, which surprised Ji Tao. Although he saved his child, the police were the ones who contributed. It was so easy to give it to himself, and the relationship between them was almost settled, but he didn't expect him to accept his proposal so easily.

In fact, what he doesn't know is that, in Bai Hao's view, since the order has been given to Ji Tao, then how to arrange the follow-up installation is Ji Tao's business, as long as he can make the driving normal within the specified time. Running, and without quality problems, it has met his requirements.

Second, after hearing what he said, Bai Hao imagined in his mind that a young man from a poor family was admitted to high school but had no money to pay tuition fees, so he had to work part-time, but he was lucky enough to earn enough money during the summer vacation. The tuition fee is even more money, so I decided to read the touching inspirational story.

As for the age issue, he ignored it. In rural areas, there are many people who go to school late for various reasons.

After settling with Bai Hao, the next issue was the accommodation of Xu Minghua and Fang Lin. Originally, Ji Tao wanted to find a better hotel for them to live in, but when they heard that Ji Tao lived in a hotel , and after paying the rent for several days, they resolutely... pulled him to refund the money, and then the three went straight to the hotel.

What made Ji Tao feel a little bit at a loss was that he only found out that Xu Minghua had booked two rooms after booking the room, one double standard room and one single standard room.

"You can share a room with Minghua tonight, and you have to enlighten him well." Patting Ji Tao on the shoulder, Fang Lin said with a smile.

Ji Tao really wanted to say, are you really not afraid that I will break up your dear nephew?

Originally, Fang Lin planned to settle the meal at the hotel where he was staying, but Ji Tao casually mentioned that the barbecue and snacks here are very good, but Xu Minghua accidentally heard it, so he insisted on eating barbecue.

Fortunately, although Fang Lin grew up in a wealthy family, he was not a very particular person, so he readily agreed to Xu Minghua's request and took the two of them to eat at a roadside stall.

In fact, Lin really eats a lot of things like barbecue. Running a business is inevitable, and Ji Tao is the same. The attraction between the two was relatively small, but Xu Minghua, who was eating barbecue for the first time, couldn't stop.

Grilled fish, grilled mutton kebabs, grilled vegetables, grilled lung slices, etc., one person ate dozens of skewers, and didn't stop eating until his stomach was full.

Seeing that he was eating so happily, Fang Lin didn't stop him once he changed from the gloom of the previous few days. Instead, Ji Tao reminded him that he couldn't sleep at night because he was too full, but Xu Minghua ignored them.

As a result, when I got back to the hotel, I couldn't move anymore, and I lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

"I told you to eat less. Anyway, we are going to stay here for a few more days. If we don't enjoy eating today, can we still eat tomorrow?" Sitting on the bedside, Ji Tao said solemnly, but he The schadenfreude in his eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"Cut!" Xu Minghua leaned on him and pointed his middle finger, "Why didn't you say it when I was eating, it's not too late to say it now."

Ji Tao was speechless after hearing this, how could he remember that he had said it many times.

"Well, why don't I go for a walk with you? Anyway, it's not so hot outside now." Looking at Xu Minghua who was lying motionless on the bed, who was known as Xiaoshi, Ji Tao suggested.

Xu Minghua lay on the bed and thought for a while, then nodded: "I'll take a shower and change clothes first, and then we'll go for a walk."

Seeing Xu Minghua walk into the bathroom with a change of clothes, the smile on Ji Tao's face disappeared, then he turned around and left the room.

At this time, Fang Lin...should be free.

Walking to the room opposite, Ji Tao reached out and knocked on the door, after a while Fang Lin came out in his pajamas and opened the door.

"Xiao Tao." Yawning, Fang Lin let Ji Tao in.

"Uncle ready to go to bed?" Ji Tao asked after seeing Fang Lin's changed pajamas.

"No, but I just took a shower, and I'm comfortable in pajamas." Fang Lin replied with a smile as he switched channels with the remote control.

"Oh." Oh Wan was silent for a long time before Ji Tao expected Ai Ai to speak again, "That, uncle..."

Seeing that Ji Tao was hesitating for a long time before he finished speaking, Fang Lin simply turned off the TV and turned to face Ji Tao: "Do you want to talk about the two questions I asked you during dinner today?"

Ji Tao nodded when he heard the words: "How did that uncle see that Tang Bing was...interesting to me, and, uncle, you too..."

"Are you gay?" Seeing that Ji Tao couldn't say those three words, Fang Lin simply answered by himself.

Hearing Fang Lin's confession, Ji Tao felt a little embarrassed.

"I am." Looking at Ji Tao, Fang Lin admitted with a smile.

Hearing that Xu Minghua admitted his sexuality so simply, Ji Tao was a little surprised. You must know that people's acceptance of homosexuality is still very low, or they simply think it is a disease, although he himself knows it is not.

Seeing Ji Tao's expression, Fang Lin couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Why, you are surprised, I thought you had already guessed it."

"At first, I really thought you might be, but when I finally saw that you had a son..."

Hearing Ji Tao mentioned his son, Fang Lin couldn't help being a little silent, apparently thinking of something bad.

Seeing this, Ji Tao didn't continue on this topic, he calmed down and asked, "What does my uncle want me to do? Do you want me to stay away from Minghua?"

"Xiaotao, that's not the meaning of what I said today. You know, I am the same as you, so naturally I won't discriminate against you. Otherwise, wouldn't I be discriminating against myself? Besides, even if you are gay, you still have friends. It’s just that we have different sexual orientations, and we’re not sick or contagious.”

Ji Tao couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard the words. He understood that Fang Lin's words certainly didn't mean to keep him away from Xu Minghua, but he wouldn't just say those words for no reason. Why wait until now?

The reason why I said that was probably just to remind myself that the intimacy between myself and Xu Minghua was too much, and it had exceeded the normal limit.

Seeing Ji Tao's lonely face, Fang Lin suddenly felt sorry for the child, and suddenly regretted talking about it.

"Actually, Xiaotao, if possible, I hope you will like girls and marry a wife and have children in the future. As someone who has experienced it, I want to tell you that this road is not easy."

"I know." Ji Tao smiled even more bitterly when he heard the words, "It's just that you should know that sexuality is innate, and it doesn't mean that you can change it if you change it."

Fang Lin was silent when he heard the words, of course he knew, he knew better than anyone else.

"If you are worried that I will bend Xu Minghua, please rest assured that I will not." Ji Tao said as if making a solemn promise.

The sad thing is that not long ago, when Xu Minghua suddenly changed his attitude towards him, he realized that he really liked him a little bit.

But so what? Xu Minghua is the only son of the godmother, and now the godmother is divorced and unable to have another child. Under such circumstances, how can I have the heart to break away his only son.

You can't...repay your kindness with revenge, right?

51 Ji Tao has already left, and a certain entertainment news is being broadcast on the TV, but Fang Lin's eyes don't fall on it at all.

He didn't expect Ji Tao to say those words, nor did he expect him to read them so... thoroughly.

He was too calm, except that he choked when he said it just now, but his subsequent reaction was always calm, including telling himself that he would not break up with Xu Minghua.

A normal person's reaction would not be like his, even if it wasn't panic and regret, just a little surprised, and then said very rationally that he would not be with so and so, so please rest assured, is that the case?

He didn't handle it, or how he reacted to it, or even his own liking for men, like someone his age.

Of course, Fang Lin smiled bitterly. Judging by his usual behavior and handling of affairs, he doesn't look like a teenager at all, but in other things, he will make people look up to him, and emotionally it will make people feel distressed.

Rubbing between his brows, Fang Lin thought, if he told him now, he didn't choose to break up this matter because he chose to separate them...Of course, if the two of them, or even Xu Minghua, can get on the right track, he would be happy Yes, but this is not his main purpose.

My main purpose is to tell them that even if they want to be together, now is not the time, they are still too immature, far from being able to bear all the consequences.

Even if Ji Tao has made some money now, under the pressure of his own family or society, it will soon become nothing.

Wasn't I the best example back then?The person who thought he could keep out all the wind and rain, but ended up killing...

So I just want them to restrain themselves a little. The ambiguity between them may not be noticeable to others, but people of the same kind can spot their differences at a glance, just like that Tang Bing today.

Forget it, thinking of the loneliness that Ji Tao felt when he left, Fang Lin thought, if they really got that far, let's help them.

——————————————————

When Ji Tao returned to the room where he and Xu Minghua lived, his expression had returned to normal. At this time, Xu Minghua had already come out of the shower, his upper body was naked and his lower body was wearing a big underpants. On the sofa in the room, she was wiping her hair with a towel.

Seeing this, Ji Tao's eyes darkened. Although the body in front of him has no abdominal muscles because of his youth, it is no longer the frail young man he was before.

"Squad leader, come and help me wipe my head." Seeing Ji Tao coming in, Xu Minghua said with bright eyes.

Ji Tao smiled when he heard this, then walked over to take the towel in Ji Tao's hand, and gently rubbed it to help him wipe his hair.

Xu Minghua's hair is of excellent quality, the kind that is black and shiny, which once made Ji Tao a little jealous. Compared with his soft hair, this kind of hair is really enviable, no, it's jealousy.

Xu Minghua leaned back on the sofa, humming as if enjoying himself, Ji Tao's technique was very gentle and comfortable.

After brushing their hair, the two went out, took a walk outside, and then came back to sleep.

When going to sleep at night, because the room is a double room, there are actually two beds, but I don't know why Xu Minghua insisted that two people sleep on the same bed.

Because he wanted to avoid suspicion, Ji Tao disagreed at first. Xu Minghua didn't force him, so he went straight to another bed and slept. But when he got up in the middle of the night, he found that he and Xu Minghua were sleeping in the same bed. Together, and one of Xu Minghua's hands was still wrapping around his waist from behind, and the two of them were tightly attached to each other, feeling like... a couple.

Startled by what he had just thought, Ji Tao immediately sat up. He had promised Fang Lin yesterday that he would not develop a relationship with this person beyond friendship, but in less than half a day, the two fell asleep in their arms. Together, why is this so guilty?

Noticing Ji Tao's movements, Xu Minghua asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, I'm on the sideline."

Hearing Ji Tao's answer, Xu Minghua groaned, turned over and continued to sleep.

Seeing Xu Minghua like this, Ji Tao wasn't sure if he really woke up just now, or if he was just talking in his sleep. After sitting on the bed for a while, Ji Tao got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

When he came back, Ji Tao hesitated for a while, and climbed onto the bed where Xu Minghua was sleeping, or else he...would be angry again when he woke up tomorrow morning?

After waking up in the morning, Fang Lin and Ji Tao had a tacit understanding. Neither of them had a conversation the night before, but concentrated on playing with Xu Minghua, and Ji Tao didn't ask about Xu Minghua's family. It's not a good thing, maybe it will cause harm to the other party instead, he thought, Xu Minghua will take the initiative to tell himself one day.

Sure enough, a week later, on the first day they left City C, after taking a shower at night, the two of them were lying side by side on the white sheets, and Xu Minghua finally spoke.

"You know, little squad leader, my parents are divorced."

"Yeah." Ji Tao nodded, then looked at Xu Minghua and said, "You must be very sad."

With just a simple sentence, Xu Minghua felt as if his tears were about to gush out. As a big man, he disdained crying for such things.

Therefore, when he learned that his father had an illegitimate child outside, although he was very sad and wanted to cry, he didn't cry in the end.

When the people around him looked at him with sympathy, pity, or strange eyes, he never thought of crying.

Even when he saw his mother crying secretly, he just comforted her softly beside him, because he knew that he was a man and he wanted to protect his mother, so he couldn't cry.

But now I heard the little squad leader look at me and say, you must be very sad, he actually wants to cry.

During this period of time, he heard a lot of words such as poor child, don't be sad, how could your father be like that, and no one has ever told him, you must be very sad, this sentence.
