Rebirth of Xia Ze

Chi Yiheng drove the car around the clubhouse three times but did not find Xia Ze's figure. Thinking of Xia Ze's familiarity with this area, Chi Yiheng had no choice but to give up and continue searching.Anyway, the monk can't run away from the temple, he has been back for two days, and it's time to go to Xia's house.

It wasn't until Chi Yiheng drove away that Xia Ze sneaked out from the alley behind the guild hall.The night in April was still very cold, Xia Ze couldn't help shivering.He is wet all over now, even wearing Chi Yiheng's coat won't help much.Xia Ze originally wanted to leave the coat to the waiter and give it to Chi Yiheng, but the familiar smell on the coat made him reluctant.Wearing a coat like this made Xia Ze feel like being held in Chi Yiheng's arms, so just pretend he was deceiving himself, Xia Ze decided that as long as Chi Yiheng didn't mention it, he would keep this coat privately.

Xia Ze had already contacted Ma Tianlei when he was hiding in Chi Yiheng.Chi Yiheng might go to Xia's house to look for him. If he goes back now, he might not know what is waiting for him.Xia Ze thought it was not suitable to go home at this time, and it happened that Ma Tianlei's apartment was near the school, so he made up his mind to hide for a few days first.

Ma Tianlei quickly came over, and seeing Xia Ze's appearance from a distance, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "You two have a water fight?"

Xia Ze laughed at himself, "I smell too much alcohol, my cousin told me to sober up."

Ma Tianlei's first reaction after receiving Xia Ze's call was to send everyone around him away. The reason why he came here alone was because he was afraid that Xia Ze would feel embarrassed because of Chi Yiheng's matter.Now when I heard Xia Ze making fun of this matter, I understood that Xia Ze didn't take this matter to heart, so he laughed and said, "Your cousin is also doing it for your own good."

Xia Ze nodded and said in a low voice, "I know."

Ma Tianlei's apartment is not far from the guild hall. It was bought by Ma Tianlei's elder brother in business, so that it is convenient for him to live here occasionally and go to school.This is not Xia Ze's first time here, he used to live here sometimes when he didn't want to go home.

"Here, I remember your clothes here." Ma Tianlei rummaged through the closet to find Xia Ze's clothes that fell here at some time, and handed them to Xia Ze, urging him to take a hot bath as soon as possible. "I'm really going to catch a cold, and I have to take care of you."

His words made Xia Ze laugh.Xia Ze remembered that in the second year of high school, Ma Tianlei and Ma Tianlei skipped class and stayed up late to play games. As a result, both caught colds, and blamed each other for infecting themselves.After getting along for a long time, Xia Ze was no longer as strange as when he first met Ma Tianlei at noon.With the memory gradually waking up, Xia Ze seems to have really returned to the time when he and Ma Tianlei were mixed together in the third year of high school.

Without too much politeness, Xia Ze took the clothes and took a hot bath happily.When he came out of the shower, he saw Ma Tianlei leaning on the sofa with a can of beer and watching the game intently.

"Didn't leave?" Xia Ze thought Ma Tianlei would go home.

Ma Tianlei shook his head, threw a can of beer to Xia Ze, and said, "My buddy sees that you have something on your mind, so I stayed here specially to accompany you, how touched you are?"

Xia Ze smiled, "I'm moved. At the end of the year, Haicheng selected the top ten most moving people in Haicheng. Would you like me to name you?"

Ma Tianlei laughed out loud.After laughing, he put down the beer in his hand, and looked at Xia Ze, "Tell me, what's going on? I've felt that something is wrong with you since noon, is there really something wrong at home?"

Xia Ze shook his head, "It's okay."

"It's okay?" Ma Tianlei glanced at Xia Ze sideways, "There are no outsiders now, so don't pretend to be a buddy. It's really okay. Why do you look so preoccupied and suddenly say that you want to go to college? Didn't you still have a firm attitude a few days ago? Do you want to go abroad?"

Xia Ze sat next to Ma Tianlei, leaned against the sofa, took a sip of beer, and said casually, "Why, why don't you like me to make a move?"

Ma Tianlei scoffed, but did not speak.After a while, he really couldn't hold back, and looked at Xia Ze hesitantly, "Xia Ze, tell me the truth, is it related to your stepmother?"

Ma Tianlei knew exactly what was going on at Xia Ze's family, Xia Ze and his father had always had a tense relationship, and his father was the one who opposed Xia Ze's going abroad the most.Xia Ze shouted yesterday that he would go abroad even if he died, but he suddenly gave up the idea of ​​going abroad overnight. After thinking about it, Ma Tianlei is probably his stepmother who can make Xia Ze such a big contrast.

Xia Ze didn't realize what Ma Tianlei said for a while, and asked subconsciously, "What?"

Ma Tianlei stared at him speechlessly, "I said Xia Ze, you should have some snacks too." Seeing that Xia Ze still looked confused, Ma Tianlei was really helpless.He sat up straight and said earnestly: "I declare first, Xia Ze, I really treat you as my brother, so don't dislike what I say."

When Ma Tianlei said this, Xia Ze put away his casual attitude. He vaguely guessed what Ma Tianlei wanted to say, and he also wanted to hear what people outside had to say.

"you say!"

Ma Tianlei scratched his hair, cleared his throat again, and assumed a serious attitude. "Xia Ze, I know you have a good relationship with your stepmother, but you should also be careful. The stepmother is really different from your real mother. Don't really think that she is really good to you. She is sure of you and Xia Kai. There is a difference." Ma Tianlei still had a word to say, it was that he overheard his mother gossip with others once, saying that Xia Ze's stepmother had the ability to coax Xia Zhicheng and Xia Ze to alienate him from the Chi family. .That was the friendship of the older generation. Since the death of Mr. Xia, the two families have become farther and farther apart.

Ever since he heard his mother say this, Ma Tianlei has always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xia Ze about why the stepmother is different from his own mother, so that Xia Ze can have some fun.Just seeing Chi Yiheng today, Ma Tianlei wanted to remind Xia Ze that the Chi family is Xia Ze's real relatives, and they are much more reliable than the Zhou family when things happen.

Ma Tianlei's words made Xia Ze laugh at himself.He is an idiot, even outsiders can see that Zhou Hanqing is not simple, but he is stupid enough to feel that Zhou Hanqing's mother and child are deeply in love with each other.

"Xia Ze, are you okay?" Ma Tianlei was worried that Xia Ze would be stimulated by this.

Xia Ze shook his head, knowing that Ma Tianlei would really treat him as a brother by telling him this, "I'm fine, don't worry, I was stupid before, but I'm not stupid anymore."

When he said this, Ma Tianlei immediately guessed something, "What's wrong?"

It's hard for Xia Ze to say that he died once. Zhou Hanqing has seen many tricks in his life, but he just changed the topic with a smile. "By the way, do you still remember who Bai Xiaoqi asked to check on his father some time ago?"

Bai Xiaoqi's family is also a pile of dog blood. The poor boy Fenghuang married a rich girl for the sake of his future, but he still couldn't let go of his first love in college.On the one hand, Bai Xiaoqi's father took advantage of his father-in-law's family connections to make a fortune, and on the other hand, he secretly kept his first love outside for 20 years.Xia Ze remembers clearly that some time ago in his third year of high school, Bai Xiaoqi didn't know what he discovered, and began to suspect that his father had an illegitimate child outside, so he specially found a private detective who was said to be quite famous and followed his father for a month. Dad hid his first love and illegitimate child for many years, making the Bai family restless during that time.

Ma Tianlei was taken aback by Xia Ze's words, "What? Who do you want to investigate?"

Xia Ze shook his head and said nothing, Ma Tianlei wisely didn't ask any more questions, but simply called Bai Xiaoqi.

"Old A Detective Agency" This is the answer given by Bai Xiaoqi, and Xia Ze remembered the name in his heart.Who is Han Ling?Xia Ze thought and thought that his father might know, and Xia Yuan might also know, but it was impossible for them to tell him.If he wanted to know who Han Ling was, he could only find out by himself.As he didn't want to alert his father, he couldn't find someone related to the Xia family to investigate, he could only find a private detective.About Han Ling, Xia Ze didn't know much, only a name and the approximate age of the other party.He didn't know if private detectives could find this person among Haicheng's tens of millions of people, but he had to try anyway.

After finishing the private detective work, before going to bed at night, Xia Ze held his mobile phone and hesitated whether to call his uncle.He only wanted to avoid Chi Yiheng before, and when he calmed down, he remembered that his uncle was still waiting for him to eat together.Xia Ze could imagine how disappointed his uncle would be when he heard the news of his sneaking away. He wanted to get close to his uncle, but he didn't dare to get close to Chi Yiheng.This kind of entanglement made Xia Ze hesitate for a quarter of an hour before he plucked up the courage to press the number of Chi's mansion.

When the phone rang, Chi Yiheng was in the living room, so he picked it up.

"Hey?"

Chi Yiheng's voice clearly reached Xia Ze's ears through the phone, and immediately blocked everything Xia Ze wanted to say.Xia Ze listened to the phone in a daze, unable to speak for a while.

"Hello, who are you?"

No one spoke in the receiver, Chi Yiheng suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xia Ze?"

"Beep beep beep beep!" The phone was hung up instantly, Chi Yiheng was taken aback for a moment, then put down the phone with a broken smile, turned around and went to his father's room.Although the other party didn't speak, Chi Yiheng was sure that it was Xia Ze who called.Seeing Xia Ze's reaction, he vaguely guessed Xia Ze's intentions, could it be that he wanted to explain something for tonight's matter?Thinking about Xia Ze's awkward temperament, Chi Yiheng curled his lips, and he no longer had the idea of ​​making his father happy, but was genuinely interested in the matter of giving Xia Ze extra lessons that his father kept mentioning.

Chi Yiheng used Xia Ze's call to make Father Chi happy, but on the other hand, Xia Ze hung up the phone in a hurry and didn't have the courage to call.

Chi Yiheng, Chi Yiheng...

Xia Ze silently recited Chi Yiheng's name, and lay on the bed hugging Chi Yiheng's coat tightly.He curled up habitually, as if he was in another person's arms.

The cell phone rang suddenly at this time, Xia Ze sat up abruptly, looking nervously at the cell phone he had thrown on the table.Could it be Chi Yiheng?

This idea entered his mind uncontrollably, and Xia Ze's heart began to pound.After taking a long breath, Xia Ze tried to calm himself down, and slowly picked up the phone.

On the lit screen, the word Xia Yuan was printed in Xia Ze's eyes.
