After Qiao Yanzhou said this, he was stunned. He originally thought it would be as simple as taking a good friend home for a while, but after he said it, it didn't seem to be the case.
The relationship between him and Gu Zixing was no longer just "good friends".
"Take me to see my mother-in-law in such a hurry." Gu Zixing smiled from the side, "I'm so nervous that I can't compete."
"It's a bad match and I'll be replaced. Maybe you won't have anything to do in the future." Qiao Yanzhou instantly dissatisfied, "Also, it's not the mother-in-law but the mother-in-law."
"Go to bed now and I'll tell you the difference between mother-in-law and mother-in-law."
"I don't care."
Gu Zixing laughed for a long time, and finally put his arm around Qiao Yanzhou's shoulder: "Mother-in-law, let's be mother-in-law, anyway, calling mother-in-law's butt doesn't hurt."
"..."
Qiao Yanzhou reluctantly raised his leg and kicked Gu Zixing's calf.
But even though Gu Zixing had a playful smile on the surface, he could also feel the entanglement in Qiao Yanzhou's heart after he said that sentence impulsively.
Gu Zixing clearly remembered the last time when Qiao Yanzhou called home, Qiao's mother's attitude of being disappointed, mourning his misfortune and angering him after hearing that Qiao Yanzhou broke up with his girlfriend.
And at that time, Qiao Yanzhou even forcibly fabricated a non-existent girlfriend named "Gu Xiaoxing" in order not to make her mother feel too uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, Qiao Yanzhou is only nineteen years old after the new year. Gu Zixing actually doesn't understand why Qiao Yanzhou's mother is so anxious to ask her son to find a girlfriend quickly. .
But this is a family matter after all, so Gu Zixing didn't want to ask too much.
"Yao Le, he..." On the way to the training room, Qiao Yanzhou suddenly said something, but quickly choked back the words, "Forget it, it's all right."
"Coach Chen won't let you ask questions." Gu Zixing smiled.
"Yes, and no." Qiao Yanzhou said, "I'd better not inquire, to avoid suspicion..."
"Yao Le may be transferring to WG." Gu Zixing raised his eyebrows, "What are you avoiding?"
"I can't avoid any suspicion now..." Qiao Yanzhou sighed, frowned, and muttered, "Aren't you spreading gossip here?"
"It's amazing, I'll skip training and spread gossip with you here."
"It's so romantic." Qiao Yanzhou smiled, and pulled Gu Zixing's hand, fearing that others would find out, so he quickly let go.
Qiao Yanzhou believed Gu Zixing's words.
After Yao Le went to WG, most of the time, he wanted to play mid laner, but now WG's rookie mid laner Su Wenzhi played fiercely and fiercely in the previous few regular games, and even was compared with Gu Zixing. One can imagine the pressure of competition in the future after going to WG.
Besides, Yao Le is also 22 this year, and he will be facing retirement in three years. After finally advancing to the spring finals with the team, he has to transfer to the team at this juncture. Generally speaking, this kind of situation is not out of his mind The problem is that I really can't stay in EG anymore.
Recalling that night when Qiao Yanzhou accidentally saw Manager Ren and Yao Le gnawing at the small gate of the club downstairs, Gu Zixing said to himself very seriously before that he would stay away from Manager Ren in the future. a little.
Qiao Yanzhou, even a fool, could guess the general idea.
—
Because it was already close to the game, the team's training time in the afternoon was directly doubled, and it was already 9:30 in the evening when the training ended.
Yao Le never came, and I don't know if he didn't want to come or because the senior management of the team knew that he was going to quit, so they deliberately didn't let him come in order not to reveal more secrets of the team.
But no matter what, Yao Le has already offended the people in the EG club, not to mention that Ren Ming is spoiling him, even if the boss of the EG club is spoiling him, he probably won't be able to keep him.
"Xiao Qiao, are you hungry?" At the end of the training, Gu Zixing ran to Qiao Yanzhou's side and asked.
"The level is too good, I'm embarrassed to be hungry." Qiao Yanzhou smiled, looking a little tired.
Although he had already prepared himself for the training intensity of the professional team, Qiao Yanzhou still couldn't bear the sudden increase.
Looking at Qi Chen, Gu Zixing and the others, Qiao Yanzhou, who was still alive and well after training one by one, admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention one afternoon plus one night, Qiao Yanzhou couldn't sit still even if it was just an hour for him to practice and replenish soldiers endlessly in front of the computer. Too boring and too exhausting...
After the training, Qiao Yanzhou walked towards the dormitory while leaning against Gu Zixing next to him, as if he was suffering from schizophrenia, Gu Zixing didn't hide, and let Qiao Yanzhou put all his strength on him, laughing while walking .
"You're just bullying and bullying me when no one is around."
"How dare I bully you." Qiao Yanzhou squeezed his throat and said.
"I'll treat you to something to eat tonight," Gu Zixing rubbed Qiao Yanzhou's hair. "Looking at the training almost killed half of your life."
"Not only that, at least two-thirds of the life." Qiao Yanzhou yawned, "I want to eat spicy crayfish. I see a new restaurant opened across the road."
"Your butt doesn't hurt anymore, does it?" Gu Zixing said as he opened the bedroom door, went to Wotou's cat food box which had run out of ammunition and food, and poured some cat food into it.
"It hurts, but it seems to be better than at noon." Qiao Yanzhou nestled down on the sofa, "Then Master Zhou Yu, what would you like to eat?"
"Just follow me."
After pouring out the cat food, Gu Zixing went to help Wotou clean up the cat feces and poured new cat litter into it. Qiao Yanzhou usually did these tasks, but when he thought that Qiao Yanzhou was inconvenient to move due to some physical reasons, Gu Zixing Obediently did all the work.
When Wotou, who was licking fur at the side, heard the sound of cat litter, his reaction was even more exciting than hearing the sound of cat food. He saw a fat figure jump into the litter box in two or three steps and then began to writhe in it. Turning the cat litter on the head does not stop.
"Ancestor..." Gu Zixing frowned. The room is almost filled with the miasma it billows.
"Ah?" Qiao Yanzhou at the side vaguely heard Gu Zixing talking, but he couldn't understand what he was saying, so he asked again.
Gu Zixing turned his head to look at Qiao Yanzhou, and sighed.
"The two ancestors..."
—
After settling down the wotou, Gu Zixing drove Qiao Yanzhou to a wild mushroom pot restaurant in the south of the city.
The business in this store was good, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening and people were still coming in one after another. After Qiao Yanzhou and the others arrived, they waited for a long time in the lobby outside before they got their seats.
"What to eat?"
"Anything is fine," Qiao Yanzhou smiled, "Whoever pays has the final say."
Gu Zixing took the menu handed over by the waiter and looked at it: "A taboo?"
"No!"
After Qiao Yanzhou waved his hand to Gu Zixing, he lowered his head and started to look at the phone. He had been struggling for a day, how long in advance should he tell his mother that he might go home for a few days at the beginning of next month.
He was a little afraid that his mother would bring up the old story again, so he brought Cao Ting out and explained a lot of reasoning to him. What he said was as innocent and cute as if he and Cao Ting still had hope of getting back together. Unhappy, even more unhappy in my mother's heart.
In the end, Qiao Yanzhou decided to secretly call Qiao Ai to find out what happened.
In fact, sometimes Qiao Yanzhou is quite lucky to have such a spirited and sensible younger sister. Thinking about it carefully, Qiao Ai is probably the only one in the family who can understand Qiao Yanzhou the most at critical moments.
"Xiao Ai, is mom at home?" Qiao Yanzhou hurriedly asked after the call was connected.
"I'm not here, I went out, what's wrong brother?" Qiao Ai's side was quiet, not even the sound of the TV, it seemed that my mother was really not at home. It's just that for some reason, Qiao Ai's voice sounded a little low, as if she had just cried.
"Where did mom go so late? Are you crying? Who bullied you?"
"Brother Wang in the opposite building passed away... I just left after six o'clock this evening. Mom went to accompany Aunt Li to help Aunt Li." Qiao Ai obviously sobbed for two times on the phone while talking. In the end, I couldn't hold back the tears.
Qiao Yanzhou was stunned.
Qiao Yanzhou is actually very familiar with the little Wang brother Qiao Ai mentioned. When Qiao Yanzhou failed the exams when he was a child, he asked Xiao Wang to help him imitate his mother's handwriting. Brother Wang especially likes to grow flowers, especially the kind of flowers that are difficult to take care of but beautiful. Xiao Wang can always take good care of them, so Qiao Yanzhou always thinks that this person is quite amazing.
However, when Qiao Yanzhou came home during Chinese New Year last year, he heard from his mother that Xiao Wang was ill, and it was very serious. Qiao Yanzhou didn't believe it at the time, but later Qiao Yanzhou saw Xiao Wang himself in the flower garden behind the community, and found that his sallow and thin face was completely different from before, so scared that Qiao Yanzhou didn't dare to go up to say hello.
But until Qiao Yanzhou left home, he didn't ask his mother what kind of disease Xiao Wang had. He only knew that the disease must be serious.
Brother Xiao Wang has no father. His mother weaves tents for people every day in a tent factory and earns only a little money a month. It is impossible to treat diseases.
But these are not within the scope of Qiao Yanzhou's consideration.
The news of Xiao Wang's death made Qiao Yanzhou feel very sad, but after thinking about it later, maybe it might be a relief for Xiao Wang himself.
Just as she was thinking, Qiao Ai spoke again, and this time Qiao Ai's voice was a little better than before.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?"
"It's okay, brother Xiao Wang is gone, why didn't you go see him off?" Qiao Yanzhou rubbed his eyes, feeling like he was about to cry.
"Mom won't let me go. I have an exam tomorrow. I'll go and send flowers to Xiao Wang when I have time..."
"Um."
"Brother, what's the matter with you? I heard from my mother a few days ago that you broke up with my sister-in-law?"
"Why do you call me sister-in-law after we broke up?" Qiao Yanzhou smiled wryly. Qiao Ai is good at everything, but she is too straightforward.
"Oh... you don't know, because of this, I have been worrying to death for the past few days. I don't know why Mom is so worried. "
"I'm afraid your brother won't be able to marry a wife in the future."
"How is it possible, my brother is handsome, but he still worries about not being able to marry a wife?"
Qiao Yanzhou couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and looked up at Gu Zixing again. That's right, in the past, there was no need to worry about not being able to marry a wife, but now, there is no other way to worry about it.
"I may go home at the beginning of the month. If you tell mom then, I won't call mom anymore."
"As for it, I'm hiding from Mom like this."
"good."
"Okay, then contact me before you come back, Mom will definitely prepare something delicious for you."
"Okay, I see." Qiao Yanzhou smiled.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yanzhou looked up and found that Gu Zixing was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Have you finished ordering?" Qiao Yanzhou froze for a moment.
"No, tick what you want to eat," Gu Zixing handed the menu to Qiao Yanzhou, "Call your home?"
"Well, I'm not going back, so I said hello in advance."
Gu Zixing smiled.
"Little Joe,"
"Um?"
"Why don't I take you somewhere after dinner."
