After scumming me, they all regret it

"Ziqian, that..." Qianqian turned back to Xie Ziqian, a little at a loss, and looked at the daughter next to her.

Didn't it mean that the adopted son of the Xie family left, why did he come back?

"Mom, don't make any more trouble!" Xie Ziqian said in a low voice, dragging Qianqian into his office half-pull half-pull, and a group of people clicked to automatically follow Wuyang Wuyang also went in.

Xie Ziqian looked at Xie Gui, then at Chen Zhouhe, unable to even smile.

"Brother, are you okay?"

When the corridor was finally clear, Xie Gui turned around and looked Chen Zhouhe up and down.

"It's okay." Chen Zhouhe patted his arm, "Go in and talk."

The two entered Xie Gui's office together.

"I'm here to help you change your medicine. Tonight I asked a friend out for dinner. It might be a little late when I come back so I won't bother you." Chen Zhouhe paused before asking, "Just now..."

Xie Gui pursed her lips: "The family in S State probably heard the news that grandma was ill, and felt that I could be the master of Xie's family."

"Xie Ziqian can let them come to the company?" Chen Zhouhe frowned slightly, and opened the medicine box, "Do you know what the rumors are like?"

"It can't be helped," Xie Gui said after he took off the gauze on his hands, "I will take care of this matter, brother, don't worry, and don't let grandma know."

"Of course I won't say it, and you don't want my sister-in-law to know." Chen Zhouhe gradually became more proficient in his technique after a few days, "Grandma can't stand the stimulation at this time."

The two reached a consensus.

"Okay," Chen Zhouhe patted Xie Gui's wrist, and put down his rolled up sleeves, "I have nothing to do, I'll get off work first, and I'll take a taxi back after dinner—don't pick me up."

He seemed to have predicted Xie Gui's speech, and blocked his words in his throat with one sentence.Xie Gui was speechless for a while, and could only look at him helplessly, making Chen Zhouhe raise his eyebrows and chuckle.

Facing the sunset, Chen Zhouhe got off work on time.

The restaurant was chosen by Chen Zhouhe, a private restaurant he often goes to, this restaurant is limited to two tables per day, Chen Zhouhe joined the team because of his friendship with the boss.

"Sit down," Chen Zhouhe poured a cup of barley tea for Li Ye, "Their fat sausage is a must, and the sauce is also very special, try it later."

Li Ye was inexplicably nervous and swallowed, repeating the words his father taught him over and over in his mind.

The willows are on the top of the moon, the shadows of the trees are whirling outside the window, and occasionally a cicada sings.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking me out for dinner?" Chen Zhouhe asked, propping his chin with his hands, looking out the window twice.

"Can't I have dinner with you if I have nothing to do?" Li Ye looked at him, "Mr. Chen is a big name now, so he has to schedule a date to have dinner with you?"

"No, the company has been busy recently." Chen Zhouhe lowered his head and smiled.

Because of the reservation in advance, the dishes came out quickly, and the dishes on the table were hot and fragrant, and the color was bright.

"Is there any wine?"

Chen Zhouhe was refilling Li Ye's tea when he suddenly heard him ask.

"Want to drink?" Chen Zhouhe raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How do you go back at night?"

Li Ye was thinking about drinking to strengthen his courage. He waved his hand and pretended to be impatient: "What's the big deal, I'll just reserve a room next to it. Don't you think it would be less fun if you don't drink for dinner?"

He has always been good at wine, Chen Zhouhe didn't suspect it, he smiled and asked the boss to serve two jugs of sake.

The two chatted while eating, and the cool breeze coming in through the crack of the window made it indescribably pleasant.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Ye stood up abruptly as if he had made up his mind.

Chen Zhouhe was talking to him about high school with squinted eyes, and when he saw his action, he blinked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I... go to the toilet, you drink first." Li Ye left the sentence and hurried out of the room.

Chen Zhouhe took another sip of his wine, and when he was putting down the glass, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to tell Li Ye where the bathroom was. He stood up, took a few steps with his long legs, and followed him out of the room.

"Mr. Chen?" The boss saw Chen Zhouhe coming out, wiped his hands and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My friend went out just now and said he was going to the bathroom, did you see that?" Chen Zhou and Wen Sheng asked.

"The gentleman who just left?" The boss was stunned. "He said he ordered something and went downstairs to get it. Why..."

There was a flash of light in Chen Zhouhe's eyes.

"Maybe I misheard, please." He nodded and retreated to the room.

Within 2 minutes, Li Ye came back.

In order to pretend to be presentable, he even washed his hands specially, and shook them when he sat down, the water droplets almost splashed Chen Zhou and his face.

"Finished?" Chen Zhouhe asked him.

"Well," Li Ye took two deep breaths secretly, raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhouhe with serious eyes, "Chen Zhouhe, have we known each other for a long time?"

"Why are you talking about this suddenly..." Chen Zhouhe paused holding his chopsticks, tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's been a long time since I said it, seven or almost eight years..."

"Then you... what do you think of me?" After Li Ye asked, he felt that Chen Zhouhe might not understand him, so he changed the way of asking, "What do you think of me?"

Chen Zhouhe didn't know how the topic turned to such a deep place, his brain soaked in alcohol didn't turn around for a while, and gave him a dull look.

"Tell the truth." Li Ye approached slightly, poking the chopsticks between his fingers into the bowl vigorously.

"It's pretty good." Chen Zhouhe thought for a while, and replied a little perfunctorily, "If you were not good enough, I wouldn't have played with you for so many years."

Li Ye was a little disappointed: "No, don't you have anything else to say? Think about it again?"

Where did you come to him for comfort when your self-confidence was frustrated?

Chen Zhouhe leaned back, his back resting on the soft part of the chair, feeling something in his heart.

He restrained his smile by two points, and shrugged lightly: "What's wrong with you?"

"Chen Zhouhe," Li Ye sighed, stood up, and took out the newly hidden roses from the sliding door, "I'm not very good at talking, so I don't know how to imply that you are such a person Jing can definitely guess it, I don't want to go around in circles anymore."

Chen Zhouhe should be surprised.

But for some reason, when he saw Li Ye walking towards him with the bouquet of roses, his heart was very calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

He could even draw his mind to judge while breathing steadily, the number of roses in this bouquet should be the old-fashioned 99.

Li Ye was nervous before the opening, but now he was so nervous that he didn't know what nervousness was.He took the flower, stood in front of Chen Zhouhe, and handed it to him: "I like you...um...want to be with you..."

What did his father say before going out...

It seems that a man must have a promise in his confession, and the promise must be weighty, so that people can feel that this guy is reliable at first glance.

"If you're willing to be with me, I'll treat you very well. I won't go west if you say what you want, and I'll hand over all the housework to my salary." Li Ye racked his brains.

Chen Zhouhe felt that there might be something wrong with his mind.

For some reason, when Li Ye said this, Xie Gui's face appeared in his mind uncontrollably.

She lowered her head slightly, looked at him with moist eyes like a puppy, and said earnestly, "Brother, I want to treat you well."

"Li Ye, I..." Chen Zhouhe wiped his face, most of the wine was sober.

The scene at this time was a bit unexpected.He was sitting, Li Ye was standing in front of him, the flowers in his hands were still in the posture of handing him, with a slight oppression.

Chen Zhouhe moved back and picked the flowers first.

There is still water on the petals of the roses, it seems that the people in the flower shop are well maintained.

"I know you like roses, so I specifically asked for the best and freshest ones," Li Ye paused, "I said I liked you for a long time, I am not lying, you should remember that I used to travel all over the world Back then, every time I went back to China, I would ask the florist to order a bouquet of roses for you."

Of course Chen Zhouhe remembered.

The last time Li Ye sent him flowers was two years ago. He suddenly received a bouquet of roses with a tracking number that day. He was wondering if it was a wrong delivery, so he put the tracking number on the table and planned to ask later. Thank you Rose is back.

He had a fever that day, and when Chen Zhouhe went to buy medicine for him, he received a call from Li Ye.

"Li Ye, I think it's a bit sudden." Chen Zhouhe closed his eyes, rubbed his fingers on the ribbon wrapped in roses, "I may have drunk a little too much, and my brain can't react."

When it came to this, Li Ye was frank.

"It's okay, I just held it back for a long time, and what my dad said is right, if you don't confess that you run away with others, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Li Ye raised his chin and put his hands in his trouser pockets, "Whether you Whether you say yes or no today, we are all friends."

how can that be possible.

Chen Zhouhe twitched the corners of his mouth. Friends are most taboo to get involved in feelings. No one can say the word "friend" calmly after crossing that line.

At least Chen Zhou and himself couldn't do it.

"You sit down first, I'll clear your mind..." Chen Zhouhe pressed his temples, trying to shake off the dizziness caused by alcohol.

Li Ye sat down opposite him.

"Let's have a chat." Seeing Chen Zhouhe's appearance, he suddenly couldn't bear it, "Don't think too much, I won't worry about this matter after going out like this today."

Li Ye knew that Chen Zhouhe was not an indecisive person. Two years ago, Chen Zhouhe made up his mind to leave and never looked back. Li Ye accompanied him all the way here, so he knew a little about him.

It made Chen Zhouhe hesitant to talk because he was afraid of cherishing him as a friend.

Chen Zhouhe struggled to hold the 99 flowers and blocked his sight. He put the flowers aside and met Li Ye's burning eyes.

"...No," Chen Zhouhe couldn't help smiling, rubbing the knuckles of his index finger with his thumb, "You said you like me, what do you like about me?"

"That's too much," Li Ye rolled his eyelids, "You have to be happy that I can write you a paper."

Chen Zhouhe: "..."

"What kind of look do you have?" Li Ye also smiled, "I don't mean it because I'm afraid I'll tell you one by one, don't there often be jokes like that on the Internet, what do you like about your good personality, what do you say? Can't you change it..."

Chen Zhouhe shook his shoulders with a smile: "Do I look like that kind of person?"

"That's not good." Li Ye added some wine to his glass, and also poured half a glass into his glass under Chen Zhouhe's signal.

"Actually, I don't care too much about whether you agree or reject. People, sometimes you want to die even if you die, don't you?" Putting down the wine jar, he asked casually: "Do you still like Xie Gui? ?”

Chen Zhouhe's eyelids twitched: "How is it possible?"

Li Ye's gaze never left his face, trying to see something from his subtle expression changes.

It's a pity that Chen Zhouhe is not a person who shows his emotions.

"Really?" Li Ye took a sip of his wine, "It's easy for others to say, if I really lose to Xie Gui, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Why do you hate him so much?" Chen Zhouhe smiled, "You two haven't met much, it seems like you haven't seen him since high school."

"Some people just have that kind of ability. They don't meet many times, but they always make people hate it to the bottom of their hearts." Li Ye paused, "Besides, look at how he has treated you these years. In this case, If I lost to him, I would just stay put and shut myself up."

"Don't lose to him one by one, me and him..." Chen Zhouhe shook his head, "It's not the kind of relationship you think."

Chen Zhouhe was deeply impressed by what Xie Gui said earlier——

"...Let me be with you, don't you feel disgusted, don't you feel like incest?"

"He only treats me as a brotherhood, and he told me many times, including my return this time, that he treats me like the closest family member." Chen Zhouhe said.

Li Ye looked strange: "You two are the only ones who would believe this?"

Chen Zhouhe was startled.

"It's not that I said Chen Zhouhe, Xie Gui's thoughts towards you are like Sima Zhao's heart. When you were sick in high school, he came to pick you up. The first thing he said when he saw me was to get lost. I really wanted to Beat up this kid who killed a thousand knives, oh my god," Li Ye sneered, "then I found you one time, you were not at Xie's house, and it was Xie Gui who answered the phone. The fuck is going to spray me in the face, you said he has no thoughts for you, I am the first to not believe it, they are all thousand-year-old beavers, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here?"

Chen Zhouhe wanted to explain, but he choked and didn't know where to start: "He has such a personality, and you don't know... But this meeting is okay, I feel that he has changed a lot in the past two years, and he is mature. A lot."

"That's because he will pretend, let's just let you do it step by step," Li Ye sneered, "I can imagine your attitude when you first saw him, if he confesses right away, you will definitely not agree, and maybe you will back away , now he is keeping calm, slowly making you change your view of him consciously, and penetrate a little bit..."

Li Ye shook his head: "Two years is enough for him to understand a lot of things. I have to say that there is something about his rank now."

"Why are you so conspiratorial..." Chen Zhouhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He and I...don't be joking, we really dare to speak and the other dare to listen..."

Although he said he didn't believe it, but Li Ye's words were loud, Chen Zhouhe still inevitably thought of something wrong along his train of thought.

For example, Xie Gui's overly intimate attitude and vague temptations.

It was crazy, both Chen Zhou and himself thought it was ridiculous, and quickly shook their heads to get rid of these irrelevant things from their minds.

The two made jokes, and after dinner, Li Ye proposed to send Chen Zhouhe back to the hotel.

"Actually, you really don't need to see me off, I'm not a girl." Chen Zhouhe was a little helpless, leaning lazily in the elevator, his eyes were drunk and a little ecstatic.

Li Ye folded his hands in his pockets, and said in a casual tone, "Isn't this a presidential suite, show me it, and I'll take a taxi back later. I've booked the hotel, and I have to go back to the clinic tomorrow morning."

Chen Zhouhe smiled and pressed his forehead against the cold elevator wall.

In fact, the room in the presidential suite was enough for him to stay with Li Ye for one night, but what happened tonight was beyond his expectation. Chen Zhouhe needed a private space to relax and think about his relationship with Li Ye.

The elevator dinged.

"Let's go." Chen Zhouhe greeted, waved his hand and walked out of the elevator, glanced casually, and saw Xie Gui waiting in the corridor.

"..."

He and Xie Gui lived alone on the whole floor, and with their toes, they could tell who Xie Gui was waiting for.

Li Ye knew Chen Zhouhe well, so he didn't plan to go to his place to sit again, he was still in the elevator and didn't follow him down.

Xie Gui saw Li Ye, but Li Ye didn't see him.

"Chen Zhouhe," the elevator door was about to close, Li Ye looked up at Chen Zhouhe who was holding the flowers he sent, "I respect you, so I will give you time to think about it, no matter what the outcome is, we are still friends. "

This is the second time he said this tonight, with a solemn tone and a low voice.

Chen Zhouhe suppressed his smile, his peach blossom eyes also suppressed, and hummed.

The elevator door was completely closed, and the floor began to descend.

Xie Gui stood aside and listened to the whole process, her lips pursed into a straight line, her fingers curled up involuntarily, even shaking the kraft paper bag hanging on her fingers.

"Brother," Xie Gui walked in front of Chen Zhouhe, smelling the smell of alcohol on his body, and felt even more sour, "Have you been drinking?"

"Well," Chen Zhouhe rubbed his temples, "I drank a little."

The sake tastes sweet, but has a lot of aftertaste.

Xie Gui's gaze paused on the rose in his hand, and he handed him the bag as if nothing had happened.

"I got off work early today, so I stopped by to buy the dessert you like, just in time for you to hangover with you," he said.

Chen Zhouhe glanced at the logo on the bag. The store was far away from the company, and he would have to drive for half an hour if there was no traffic jam. He didn't know which way he took.

He remembered what Li Ye said at the dinner table, and then looked at Xie Gui, how strange it was.

"Xie Gui," he didn't pick up the bag, leaned against the door and narrowed his eyes, "You don't really need to do this."

"Huh?" Xie Gui was stunned, and slowly lowered her hand, "Don't you like it..."

Chen Zhouhe didn't know how to speak for a while.

The current relationship between Xie Gui and him is quite comfortable, whether it is because of his self-indulgence or not, Chen Zhouhe feels that he should clarify some things with Xie Gui.

"Xie Gui, you have also seen that we have had our own lives in two years. I have my friends, my career, and maybe soon my love and family. I have said many times before that let me In the past, we were still friends," Chen Zhouhe pulled out some decent words from his alcohol-smelling brain nerves, "You don't need to make up for me anymore, just like now—I know you have to deal with Xie Ziqian recently You are already very tired, what you need is to rest, not to detour to buy snacks for me."

Xie Gui's hand dropped to her side.

"From a friend's point of view, you have done a lot for me, whether it is housing or work," Chen Zhouhe said. I will consider your own situation before I pay."

Xie Gui said nothing.

It seemed that there was a silent and invisible boundary drawn between him and Chen Zhouhe.He is not a fool, Li Ye's words when he left and the flowers in Chen Zhouhe's hands can explain a lot.

He wasn't sure if Chen Zhouhe had sensed his intentions before saying that, but Xie Gui understood what Chen Zhouhe meant.

"I see..." Xie Gui lowered her head slightly, her neat black hair contrasted sharply with her neck under the lamp, "Brother, take a good rest, I'm leaving first."

Chen Zhouhe watched him go back to the room, and sighed slightly where Xie Gui couldn't see, his own feelings were in a mess, how could he have the courage to educate others.

Probably in order to give him enough time to think about it, Li Ye couldn't hold back his temper. He didn't mention this matter for the next few days, but just sent a good morning and good night every morning and evening. Although he was not in front of him, he felt full of presence.

Since that night, Xie Gui hasn't done too many misleading actions, but this is also inseparable from his workload.

Xie Gui was busier than ever, and even got up earlier than Chen Zhouhe every day.And what disturbed Chen Zhouhe the most was the scene he saw unintentionally. Police officers in uniform were talking in Xie Gui's office for an entire afternoon.

Things seem to be more serious than expected.

When the phone buzzed, Chen Zhouhe picked it up and took a look. It was the wake-up photo sent by Li Ye. The plush and cute puppet was rubbed on the head by Li Ye wantonly, showing a pair of glaring eyes, staring at him indignantly.

Chen Zhouhe couldn't help but smile.

Today is a fine weather, the sunshine outside the window is so good, it covered the entire office unimpeded, and even Chen Zhouhe felt relieved.

He looked at Li Ye's profile picture on the phone screen and fell into deep thought, while the phalanx of his little finger lightly rubbed the table.

Speaking of which, he has never liked anyone except Xie Gui for so many years, and between him and Xie Gui... let alone talk about it.

They never officially started, just relying on Lan Xiuzhi's forced matchmaking to bind the marriage contract, in fact, in Xie Gui's heart, it might be a very scary thing to connect his brother and his lover.

So in terms of relationship, Chen Zhouhe is like a blank sheet of paper.

Li Ye said he liked him, and Chen Zhouhe's questioning at that time was from the heart, not to prevaricate the topic.

He didn't understand what Li Ye could like about him.

Does he like Li Ye?

Chen Zhouhe didn't know.

He has never established a formal relationship with anyone, the kind of relationship that is based on mutual respect and love and gives each other special power. He has never had it, and no one has given him a reference answer to the relationship model, let him know what The standard is called liking.

The sunlight slanted little by little, and quietly climbed onto Chen Zhou and the back of his hands, illuminating the blue veins under his flesh.

Probably he is really old. During this period of time, he can't help recalling the past. When Chen Zhouhe thought of the time when he treated Xie Gui sincerely, he felt in a daze that he couldn't even remember the emotions at that time. .

What was said in the corridor that day was not only for Xie Gui, but also for himself.

Maybe he really should go out and try a life he's never tried before.

This afternoon, Chen Zhouhe sat quietly for a long time, and finally replied to Li Ye's WeChat before the sun set, asking him to come out for a chat this Saturday and give him an answer.

He checked the weather forecast, it will be sunny this Saturday, and the temperature is just right.

Such weather deserves a bouquet of roses.

The author has something to say:

I’m running thin, I’ve been in the toilet for a long time, my hands are frozen, so I’m a bit slow in writing QAQ

Li Ye will be offline tomorrow, and the cubs are about to reconcile
