you are a bit arrogant

On the second day of Qingming, Qin Xiao was still at home, and Zhou Shengyuan left a parting kiss before going out.

Regarding the previous negotiation with Qiao Shi, there are still some details that need to be discussed. If it is finalized and the investment is made, I believe it will be an extremely profitable return.

The rain was still falling that day, and the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, which was morbidly overcast. When Zhou Shengyuan went out, a layer of uneasiness surged in his heart inexplicably, so he turned back.

Qin Xiao slept soundly. He stayed up late last night to do the questions. He slept too late, and his eyes were covered with a layer of black.Zhou Shengyuan felt distressed when he saw it, and kissed him lightly on the eyelids, and covered him with the quilt again.

A note was left on the bedside table, telling Qin Xiao to eat well at noon and wait for him to come back at night.

The slanting drizzle hit the car window, Zhou Shengyuan slowed down the car, stuck in the long traffic, his heart became more anxious for no reason, so he pressed the music on the car, and the song Qin Xiao had listened to was played again, Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

-

It wasn't too late for Qin Xiao to wake up, and when he felt the space around him, he went to the bedside table again.

Sure enough, the familiar note was there.

Qin Xiao curled up his mouth, stretched his body on the bed, hummed a few times indiscriminately, and then sat up vigorously.

He clutched the note and left the room.

Zhou Shengyuan had already prepared breakfast, and the milk was still warm. He sat down on the carpet with the breakfast in his hand, and placed the note on the corner of the coffee table.

Apart from the morning news, there were reruns of weird dramas on TV. Qin Xiao watched the news for a while, washed the dishes, then sat down on the carpet, spread out the test papers he brought, and began to immerse himself in the questions.

When it comes to which school to take the exam, in fact, Qin Xiao has no idea at all, and he doesn't know where to go.But Xu Wenyao told him about Zhou Shengyuan's school during the chat.

It was a very good and famous university. Qin Xiao knew that he would not be able to get in even if he sharpened his head, but he wanted to go to that city.

He who once had no expectations and could not see the future, now wants to visit the city where Zhou Shengyuan once lived.I want to see the young Zhou Shengyuan, Zhou Shengyuan, who is about the same age as him, looks vigorous in that lush city.

The pointer on the wall walked quietly, and just after ten o'clock, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Qin Xiao is puzzled, Xu Wenyao has the key, Liu Yuan should know that Zhou Shengyuan is not at home, who will come at this time.

Do you want to make a call with Zhou Shengyuan?

He put down his pen and got up, and walked up to the cat in a few steps.

Looking out through the cat's eyes, it is a woman, about forty or fifty years old, groomed very elegantly, her hair is scrupulously coiled up, her complexion is deliberately slowed down, but she looks very kind.Other than that, there was no one else outside the door.

Qin Xiao hesitated a bit, and instead of calling Zhou Shengyuan, he opened the door a distance and asked politely, "Hello, who can I ask?"

Although she already guessed that it might not be her son who opened the door, He Cuilin was still taken aback when she saw this obviously young face.

She inhaled hard from the bottom of her heart, suppressed the stiffness in her lower face, and managed to pull out a smile.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhou's home?"

"Zhou Shengyuan?" Qin Xiao asked suspiciously.

He Cuilin's heart sank again when she heard her son's name spoken out of his mouth familiarly. She pretended to be calm and said without changing her expression:

"Well, yes. Mr. Zhou booked housekeeping service in our company before, but something went wrong, so I came forward and negotiated with Mr. Zhou face to face."

Qin Xiao frowned, housekeeping?Why did Zhou Shengyuan never mention it to him: "Then you are?"

"I'm the after-sales manager of Guixi Housekeeping Service Company. You can call me Aunt He." He Cuilin's words were neither urgent nor slow, neither humble nor overbearing, and it really didn't look like a lie.

Qin Xiao couldn't make up his mind, he didn't know what to do, he hesitated thinking.

Seeing that he was loose, He Cuilin immediately added: "Before coming here, I have already talked with Mr. Zhou on the phone. He said that he will be back soon. Can you let me go in and wait for a while?"

"Oh." Before thinking too much, Qin Xiao stepped aside, and He Cuilin nodded politely, then walked in with a delicate small bag on her wrist.

"Do you need to change your shoes?" She really looked like she was visiting this house for the first time.

"Oh, no, just come in." Qin Xiao closed the door, led He Cuilin to sit down on the sofa, and turned back to pour water for her.

He Cuilin sat on the sofa and looked around at everything - it was so strange that it seemed like she was here for the first time.

Everywhere has the original setting, but it is clearly stained with the traces of the two people.

The test papers on the coffee table made her guess that the boy who opened the door for her was a few years younger, and when her eyes flicked to the note in the corner of the coffee table, she finally couldn't hold back her pretended calm.

"Eat well... wait for me to come back, good boy."

There is no mother who cannot recognize her son's handwriting, just as there is no mother who cannot recognize the profile of her son.

——Just like last night.

But who can explain to her why when her son is smiling so happily, his eyes full of tenderness are fixed on a man.

She sounded the alarm almost instantly.

She stared straight at the desktop wallpaper, almost wanting to ask a question immediately, until the phone turned off automatically, she was still staring at it.

When Xu Wenyao came out of the kitchen, she suddenly saw her grandma staring at her mobile phone. She suddenly remembered something and panicked, and rushed over quickly. She was relieved only when she saw that the mobile phone on the coffee table had been turned off.

Xu Wenyao picked up the phone and waved it to He Cuilin: "Grandma, the dishes are done, I'm going upstairs?"

"Yaoyao..." He Cuilin raised her head, as if to ask something, but stopped suddenly, and finally smiled at her with a straight face.

"...It's nothing, go upstairs quickly, don't do it too late, go to bed early."

"By the way, Yaoyao," He Cuilin stood up suddenly, "Grandma will go out tomorrow, so I will study obediently at home."

"Oh." Xu Wenyao was a little confused, but she obediently agreed, and went upstairs with her mobile phone...

"Aunt He, please drink tea." Qin Xiao held the tea in both hands very politely and handed it to He Cuilin.

"Hey." He Cuilin took the tea and placed it on the coffee table.

The intimate tone on the note and last night's desktop wallpaper Zhou Shengyuan's affectionate eyes are now a thorn in her heart, and the back view of Qin Xiao bending over to sort out the test papers is the final blow to break all illusions.

If he hadn't put down the tea early, that Qin Xiao's favorite carpet would be a pool of stains.

He Cuilin raised her hand and pressed it firmly against her heart, she couldn't accept that her son fell in love with a man, even such a young boy!

"Auntie, Auntie He? What's the matter with you?" Qin Xiao stacked the test papers, hugged them in his arms and stood up. Seeing He Cuilin staring at his back, he subconsciously took a step back, not knowing what to say.

"What's your name?" He Cuilin asked under her breath.

"My name is Qin Xiao, Qin from the Qin Kingdom, smiling with a smile."

"Qin Xiao..." He Cuilin muttered these two words, "What's your relationship with Zhou Shengyuan?"

"Ah?" The tone of this question was too direct, Qin Xiao froze for a moment, didn't know how to answer, and felt a little strange.

"We...are friends." Qin Xiao thought for a while, then said hesitantly.This somewhat inexplicable Aunt He was just a stranger, Qin Xiao knew that he couldn't directly tell the relationship between him and Zhou Shengyuan.

But after the words fell, He Cuilin raised her head and stared straight at him, her gentle and warm eyes from outside the door became a little cold and gloomy: "How old are you, how long have you lived here?"

This kind of interrogation tone made Qin Xiao feel uncomfortable all over. If it were someone else, Qin Xiao would have exploded, but seeing that the person in front of him was a woman and much older, he still came to discuss things with Zhou Shengyuan. Still suppressing his temper, he replied somewhat bluntly:

"It's almost nineteen, and I've lived here for a few months."
