Rebirth of the Canary in Captivity

Chapter 25 Choosing Fear

After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, it was quiet outside, no one seemed to be moving around, Shen An lazily walked downstairs and yawned, such an imageless scene was watched by Fu Yunqi who was sitting down drinking tea.

Shen An muttered for a while, without saying a word, went straight to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for himself.

After a while, he poked his head out from the kitchen, "Have a drink?"

Fu Yunqi raised his head again, and quickly glanced at the coffee beans in Shen An's hand, "No, I want to rest earlier."

"Oh." Shen An retracted his body into the kitchen, and soon the sound of the coffee machine came from inside.

On a quiet and warm summer afternoon, the rich coffee taste is more obvious, with a unique mellowness mixed with sweetness and bitterness.

The smell was like a hand poking at Fu Yunqi's nerves.

He rolled his Adam's apple and cast a deep look at the kitchen door.

A few minutes later, Shen An walked out of the kitchen with a cup of steaming black coffee in his hand. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by Fu Yunqi. He had to come and sit opposite Fu Yunqi.

"I'm back, you're not curious at all?"

Meeting Fu Yunqi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Shen An twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head, "I'm not curious at all, Mr. Fu still needs logic in doing things?"

Overtly and secretly ridiculing Fu Yunqi's doing things, thinking of one thing after another, there is no logic at all, but Fu Yunqi is not angry, but the corners of his mouth are more curved.

"You really understand me."

Hearing this, Shen An's tiredness disappeared, and his original sleepy eyes doubled in size, his mind was full of question marks.

He wanted to ask Fu Yunqi if he knew what he was talking about, but after thinking about it, he might as well forget it. With Fu Yunqi's temper, he might say something unbelievable.

"How is living here? Are you still used to it?"

"Well, I wasn't used to it at first, but it's okay now."

This is Fu Yunqi's private apartment. It is located in a luxurious part of the city. It is a two-story flat with several hundreds of square meters.

Fu Yunqi put down the tablet computer in his hand, raised his legs, and leaned on the sofa, "Yun Miao has returned to China, and he wants to compete fairly with you."

What the hell is fair competition?Shen An frowned, clenched the mug in his hand.

"He thinks he is qualified to stand by my side, and you are not his opponent."

After hearing Fu Yunqi's explanation, Shen An scratched his head and was silent for a while, "...how is Mr. Fu going to deal with it?"

Since Fu Yunqi doesn't like Yun Miao, and will never let Yun Miao succeed, Shen An is not worried about his status for the time being, he knows that he is still useful to Fu Yunqi.

The matter of fashion week is on the agenda, and Fu Xingyue and the studio cannot do without him for the time being.

With these preparations, Shen An dared to ask Fu Yunqi what he thought.

"He means a lot to me, so it's better to keep him temporarily." Fu Yunqi thought about his words a little, trying to make it easy for Shen An to accept.

But at this moment, Shen An seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and asked persistently, "Stay here for a while, for how long, and with what capacity?"

Fu Yunqi was silent.

Shen An was startled, picked up the coffee and took a sip, trying to hide his embarrassment.

It is true that he was negligent in what he said just now. He became aggressive and unreasonable. He never dared to speak like this to Qin Zheng in the last life.

For Qin Zheng, at first it was admiration and ambiguity, but in the end it was fear.

Fu Yunqi had no reason to explain this to himself, Shen An hesitated for a while, and decided to take responsibility for his abrupt words.

"I'm sorry I'm not quite right, maybe it's because I just woke up..."

"You don't need to apologize," Fu Yunqi squeezed the space between his brows and raised his eyes, "I was negligent, and I should have told you about this in advance."

Shen An was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Fu Yunqi gave in repeatedly, and comforted himself compassionately, he even suspected in his mind that he was also a part of Fu Yunqi's plan.

But seeing Fu Yunqi's frank and serious attitude, Shen An couldn't bear to continue to doubt him.

Fu Yunqi sat up straight, and his tone became more serious, "Shen An, everything I say next is the truth, you have to keep it in mind."

Shen An put down the coffee cup, straightened her back, nodded and said "hmm".

"I like Yun Miao, there is no doubt about it, but now that I have you, I can only refuse him." Fu Yun looked forward to Shen An's affectionate and gentle eyes, Shen An quickly avoided his eyes, and listened to him He continued, "Yun Miao couldn't accept this reality, and became hysterical because of the injury. His parents had no choice but to let him follow me. The so-called fair competition, you just treat him like a child and coax him. "

Of course, Shen An didn't bother to argue with a brat, his goal was only Qin Zheng, as long as he could get rid of Qin Zheng, he would do anything for him.

"...In order to avoid conflicts, I let Yun Miao live in the old house, and I still eat dinner there every day."

Fu Yunqi's confession does not sound informative, it is nothing more than some bloody storylines, Shen An has been questioning the authenticity of the words since hearing the first sentence.

In his opinion, Fu Yunqi didn't like anyone at all.

Fu Yunqi's politeness and respect come from his good upbringing and superior compassion, not his personal experience.

Even so, Shen An nodded vigorously, "I understand Mr. Fu's choice, and will try to avoid confrontation with Yun Miao."

In any case, it was right to avoid that lunatic, Shen An just wanted to concentrate on his career.

He feels that he may be the most inspirational reborn player in history.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the sofa beside Shen An sank, and Fu Yunqi sat carelessly beside him, with one arm resting on the sofa behind him, looking at him with interest.

"I didn't realize that, you're quite pretty..."

"Please, Mr. Fu, don't make such jokes." Shen An calmly moved his seat to the other side, "Mr. Fu, isn't he tired after sitting on the plane for so long?"

What Shen An meant was to let him go to rest quickly, and don't act like a playboy who is doing nothing.

Fu Yunqi obviously misunderstood, and moved closer, "Did you feel distressed, baby?"

It's Shen An when it comes to business, and it's a treasure when it's not. Shen An cast a glance at Fu Yunqi, and pushed him away with disgust.

"Mr. Fu and I are not in a relationship that can be called that way."

"Then...promote it?"

Shen An didn't know why Fu Yunqi was going crazy again, he sighed, and turned sideways to face Fu Yunqi, "Mr. Fu can say what he wants to say, you don't need to beat around the bush like this."

"It's not a big deal." Fu Yunqi glanced at Shen An's lower abdomen, and lowered his tone, "You were implicated that night... I don't know how your body is doing now?"

"Very good." Shen An responded casually, thinking that Fu Yunqi would be hard to say what he wanted to say, Shen An then said, "Although it is difficult for me to get pregnant with my body, I still took emergency contraceptives, Mr. Fu Don't worry."

Shen An didn't notice that Fu Yunqi's expression on his side was stiff for a moment. He picked up the coffee cup again and took a sip. Seeing that Fu Yunqi didn't speak for a long time, Shen An raised his head again, "Is there anything else you need to do, Mr. Fu?" ?”

"I just wanted to ask you out to dinner."

Shen An thought for a while, "Okay, what are we going to eat?"

For Fu Yunqi's treats, Shen An has always been willing to refuse anyone who comes. In this life, he wants to open up a lot of things. Instead of living a life of suffocation, it is better to let nature take its course and accept whatever comes.

The other party was silent for a few more minutes, and Shen An obviously noticed that his mood was suddenly depressed, but he didn't know which of his words offended the moody Fu Yunqi.

"How about this, let's go eat skewers." Shen An deliberately ignored the awkward atmosphere, and looked at Fu Yunqi with great interest.

Sure enough, Mr. Fu, who was used to full banquets in Han Dynasty, frowned with displeasure.

"If you want to eat, you can ask the chef to roast the whole lamb at home."

Seeing that Fu Yunqi spoke up, Shen An hurriedly asked, "Then what does Mr. Fu want to eat?"

"..."

"How about the hot pot?"

Fu Yunqi's lips moved, but he resisted being fooled.

Shen An saw that this trick was not working, so she spread her hands pretending to be helpless, "Mr. Fu won't say anything, so I can only call the old house and ask what Mr. Fu likes."

When referring to the "old house", Shen An deliberately emphasized his tone.

Subconsciously, Fu Yunqi should be against going back to the old house. Shen An heard the reason from Fu Xingyue, and expressed sympathy and understanding for Fu Yunqi's experience.

But this is not the reason for Fu Yunqi's awkward personality.

"I'll ask again, what exactly does Mr. Fu want to eat? If Mr. Fu doesn't tell me, how would I know?"

Even if two people are barely together, they can't guess like this every day, it's so tiring.

What's more, Shen An couldn't understand why Fu Yunqi's mood suddenly turned bad.

"There is a new barbecue restaurant opened in Beiqiao." Fu Yunqi finally made a decision.

"So?" Shen An raised his eyebrows, motioning for Fu Yunqi to continue.

"Let's go eat barbecue together."

Seeing that Fu Yunqi had fully expressed his appeal, Shen An felt relieved that his retarded son could finally speak smoothly.

He patted Fu Yunqi's thigh and smiled, "Wait for me to go upstairs to clean up, how about six o'clock?"

Fu Yunqi's eyes fell on the spot taken by Shen An, and he answered absent-mindedly, "I'll ask my assistant to book the spot."

-

The newly opened barbecue restaurant was crowded with people. Fortunately, the assistant booked a single room in advance, followed the waiter upstairs, closed the door tightly, and the noise outside was much quieter in an instant.

The waiter picked up the electronic menu, Fu Yunqi made a gesture, and the electronic menu was placed in front of Shen An.

Out of politeness, Shen An raised his head and asked, "What would Mr. Fu want to eat?"

Fu Yunqi didn't answer right away, hesitant flashed obviously in his eyes, "...you just choose."

Well, it's all up to him again, Shen An shrugged.

"For meat, how about secret beef?"

Fu Yunqi, who was drinking tea at the side, said, "Yes."

"How many games?" Shen An squinted his eyes and looked at him, feeling something was wrong, then asked, "Two games? Three games?"

"You decide."

The seemingly free and easy words were not like Fu Yunqi's style, and Shen An was even more puzzled, but he didn't say anything, and pressed his fingers on the screen.

"Does Mr. Fu like baked potatoes? Or corn? It's hard to bake anyway."

Fu Yunqi shook his teacup and nodded.

"What about the lettuce? You must order lettuce, otherwise you will get tired." Shen An purposely glanced at Fu Yunqi while speaking.

Fu Yunqi's nerves were visibly tense, with a serious and tense face, like an idiot candidate taking a major exam for the first time.

Next, Shen An didn't continue to ask his opinion, but quickly ordered a few dishes, and then submitted the order. After the waiter closed the door for the two of them, Shen An sat upright and faced Fu Yunqi with a very serious expression.

"Does Mr. Fu have choice phobia?"

Fu Yunqi's eyes flickered, and he twitched the corners of his lips, "Are you joking?"

Guessing that he would refuse, Shen An bent his eyes and smiled, "Then why Mr. Fu has been avoiding the choice?"

Think carefully, full of details.

Shen An originally thought that Fu Yunqi was used to a life of intrigue, or that he had such an awkward and arrogant personality, so he would be habitually dishonest when facing himself, but combined with Fu Yunqi's performance today, he also thought of everything about him. The details of his trip were pre-arranged by his parents, and Shen An had a conclusion in his mind.

Fu Yunqi definitely has a serious choice phobia.

[The author has something to say: [Daily Popular Science] Choice phobia: also known as choice difficulty.Choosing fear is obviously the psychology of lack of self-confidence and evasion of responsibility, lack of self-reliance, and fear of failure. (Old Fu has a reason)

The progress of this book is a bit slow, and the relationship is also very slow. The two of them have not reached the point of heart-to-heart communication, and there may be abuse in the future.

Good night in advance!
