Because Shu Zimu was obviously out of his mind, the party couldn't go on any longer, and finally it was not a happy ending. Qi Yan was very puzzled and worried about his state, and wanted to know more about it, so after Shu Zimu got on the co-pilot, Qi Yan took the initiative and said, "Go to my house to see Xuexue?"
Shu Zimu was about to agree when she heard Xuexue's name, but when she turned her head and saw Qi Yan's face, she retracted her words. Although he felt that he was a bit inexplicably awkward, Shu Zimu felt that he might really need to stay away from Qi Yan to calm down.
"Forget it, I'll go again next time I have a chance." Shu Zimu said, making excuses for himself, "It's already so late, and it will be midnight if you want to send me back by then."
It is not difficult for Qi Yan to tell that this is just an excuse, but after a moment of silence, he still said: "Okay." Although he didn't know what happened to Shu Zimu, he seemed to be avoiding himself a little? Qi Yan felt a little annoyed by this, and also felt a little helpless not knowing what he had done wrong. But Qi Yan didn't want to force Shu Zimu to say anything, seeing that he seemed to want to be alone, he still planned to follow him, thinking that maybe it would be fine in two days.
Qi Yan thought so, so he didn't continue to explore, but he didn't want Shu Zimu to deal with him very stiffly, so he took the initiative to talk about the business, "I will talk to Xue Li about that project the day after tomorrow, what is his current attitude?" of?"
When it came to digging a hole for Xue Li, Shu Zimu's attitude quickly became more natural, "He is still very cautious, and he didn't directly tell me that he wanted the project, but he has inquired about the situation many times, and it must be very clear. Interested. And he also asked me, why are you willing to give up that project. I think he is obviously very interested, but he is still a little worried that there will be traps, and he has not fully believed it."
Qi Yan nodded when he heard the words, "The day after tomorrow, I can be more tight-lipped, and hang him for a while longer."
After Qi Yan sent Shu Zimu to Xue's house, seeing him entering the house almost impatiently for the first time, he frowned even more. Thinking that something was wrong when Shu Zimu came back after going out with Xu Lan, Qi Yan called Xu Chi.
"Ask Xu Lan, did anything happen when Zi Mu went out with him?"
"Ah?" Xu Chi was stunned for a moment, thinking why don't you call Xu Lan directly, but he still agreed, "Okay, I'll ask you."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chi also frowned. He didn't think about it before, but now that Qi Yan asked, Xu Chi thought of his cousin's thoughts, and suddenly felt a little troublesome. Xu Lan and them have known each other for nearly ten years, and they often get together. They should be regarded as friends for many years, but Qi Yan only calls him when he asks Xu Lan. Xu Chi didn't feel that Qi Yan was cold, but just felt that his cousin was too much to let go. Since they all know that the other party has no such intentions, why hang on to a tree for ten years? And because I was afraid of rejection, I didn't even have the courage to speak out.
Xu Chi couldn't help sighing while dialing Xu Lan's phone, sighing and thinking of another brother who had been there for many years, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly in his heart, saying that they were really a mess. But now Qi Yan is about to withdraw completely, and I don't know if it is possible for the other two to just meet the red line and forget it.
"Brother? What's the matter?" Xu Lan asked when the phone was connected.
Xu Chi hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully, "Ayan asked me to ask you, did anything happen when you went out with your sister-in-law today?"
Xu Lan's breath was suffocated, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Xu Chi knew that he was not feeling well. The person who had been in love with him for many years obliquely asked him about his marriage partner. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to put him on. However, Xu Chi felt that it would be good for Xu Lan to fully understand the reality. After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
However, in fact, the reason for Xu Lan's silence is not only what Xu Chi thought, but also a guilty conscience. He didn't expect that Qi Yan would be so inquisitive about Shu Zimu's anomaly, and soon confirmed that the problem happened during the time when he was out with him. After all, after getting along for nearly ten years, Xu Lan has always felt that Qi Yan is a cold person who looks the same on the inside and the outside. He always thought that Qi Yan was going to get married soon because his family forced the marriage. He thought that Qi Yan would not care about Shu Zimu as a marriage partner at all. He thought that Shu Zimu's status in Qi Yan's heart should be far inferior to his own. After all, they were together Growing up, but Shu Zimu is just a snob who has only known each other for a few days and used himself to cling to his relatives. Except for appearance, Xu Lan felt that she was much better than Shu Zimu in everything.
Having been secretly in love for many years, Xu Lan has never dared to confess, because he knows that Qi Yan has no feelings for him in that way, and he would not even choose to try with him because of the forced marriage at home. But Xu Lan felt that it wasn't because of her lack of charm, but because Qi Yan didn't understand. As long as Qi Yan remains single, he can always stay by his side as a close friend, and when Qi Yan becomes enlightened, he will be the first to enter the other party's love world. Therefore, Xu Lan himself was not very worried about Shu Zimu. He felt that with Qi Yan's character, nothing substantive would happen to them, and divorce would happen sooner or later.
But even if he is not worried, Xu Lan is still very jealous that the other party can bear the title of "Qi Yan's partner" openly, so he can't help but want to make some trouble for Shu Zimu. The so-called "Qi Yan said that there is someone he likes" is actually him who lied to Shu Zimu. Xu Lan just wanted Shu Zimu to think that he was a third party, and that "genuine lover", he felt that he would be one day.
Xu Lan dared to make such a misleading, because he saw that Shu Zimu's character would not directly ask Qi Yan whether it was true or not, and Qi Yan would not pursue it, so he was so unscrupulous. However, I didn't expect that Shu Zimu didn't seem to say anything, but Qi Yan came to ask directly!
He saw the character of Shu Zimu who had just met, but he was completely unsure about the reaction of the person who had a crush on him for nearly ten years. Qi Yan actually attaches so much importance to that Shu Zimu!
Xu Lan was jealous and guilty, and was silent for a long time. After Xu Chi asked him again, he faltered and said: "Nothing happened... It's just that I told him something about us, I think He should really want to know what happened to Brother Yan in the past... Did I do something bad with good intentions?"
Xu Chi paused when he heard this, and thought that this is not a bad thing with good intentions. Didn't I see you when you talked about Qi Yan? How can a genuine boyfriend be happy to hear what you say.
Xu Chi didn't expect Xu Lan to do it on purpose, he just thought he was unconscious, sighed and said: "It's okay, just pay attention to it in the future, I'll go and tell Ah Yan that there shouldn't be any problem, just explain clearly It's gone." He said and comforted Xu Lan, "Don't think too much, Ah Yan regards us as buddies, but a daughter-in-law is still different from a buddy after all. Ah Yan's previous affairs should be kept to himself Tell sister-in-law, let's not get involved."
What Xu Chi said inside and outside the meaning was to make Xu Lan completely give up recognizing the reality, but Xu Lan didn't feel comforted at all after hearing it, but felt even worse in his heart. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but angrily said: "It's obviously my brother, it's fine if you don't help me, but now he's holding me back!"
Xu Lan threw the phone on the bed and took a deep breath. His answer to Xu Chi was half-concealed. Anyway, even if he confronted Shu Zimu, it would definitely not be wrong. After all, he did talk about their past. I remember wrongly, but I can still fool around if I think about it.
However, this incident still brought Xu Lan an unprecedented strong sense of crisis. He originally only thought of Shu Zimu as an insignificant marriage partner, but now he had a vague premonition: as long as Shu Zimu is still around, Qi Yan may never be able to get married. Will not look at him more.
