Qi Mingyu read the picture drawn by Qi Yue with great interest, closed it, and placed it next to Qi Mingfan's pillow.
They went out to eat at noon. Qi Mingyu wanted to take Qi Mingfan to have a meal alone, and wanted them to have a meal together as a family... But in the end, Qi Yue did not wait for his parents, but Qi Yue.
Lu Lei and Ying Jincheng would come to celebrate Qi Mingfan's birthday every time, but they only came together in the evening. In fact, at noon, after Qi Yue came over, Qi Mingyu thought about asking Lu Lei and Ying Jincheng to come directly. But later, he was distracted by Qi Mingfan's smile and forgot about it, and the food had already been served, so he didn't call them.
When it got a little late, Lu Lei and Ying Jinguo unexpectedly came over together. At this time, Qi Mingfan had already woken up and had been reading the picture album Qi Yue had drawn for him in his room. He had flipped through it several times. Qi Mingfan Yu was a little relieved because Qi Mingfan was finally interested in something, and his eyes were bright for the first time.
After bringing Ying Jincheng and Lu Lei in, Qi Mingyu ignored them and entered Qi Mingfan's room, intending to take Qi Mingfan out.
"Let me see what Mingfan is doing." Lu Lei said as he walked in, followed by Ying Jincheng.
Qi Mingfan had met Lu Lei and Ying Jincheng many times, so he didn't reject them when they came in. His little hands touched the album, his eyes were bright, and he didn't know how many times he had looked through it.
Ying Jincheng curiously leaned over and took a look, and was immediately attracted. The two people inside were obviously Qi Mingyu and Qi Mingfan, but what was different from reality was that the children in the painting were smiling very happily, and their eyes were Smart and carefree, Ying Jincheng glanced at Qi Mingyu - this kind of Qi Mingfan has always been what Qi Mingyu wants to see. Looking at the paintings in the album, the notes are still very new, and it looks like someone has painted them. I don’t know who painted it, but it just touched Qi Mingyu’s heart.
Thinking of this, Ying Jincheng asked, "Who painted this?"
"Qi Yue." Qi Mingyu replied.
"Qi Yue?" Ying Jincheng shouted in surprise - is it him
"Wait...who is Qi Yue? Why does he sound so familiar?" Lu Lei asked.
Ying Jincheng glanced at Lu Lei helplessly and reminded him, "It's the junior from the art department who sent me to the planner last time."
Lu Lei thought for a while and looked like he suddenly realized, "Oh! He's just that little bumpkin."
Qi Mingyu frowned but didn't say anything.
Instead, Ying Jincheng patted Lu Lei and said, "Okay, let's be virtuous."
Lu Lei curled his lips and looked unconcerned. He asked Qi Mingyu, "Mingyu, how come you got involved with that kid?"
Qi Mingyu raised his eyebrows, "He is Mingfan's guardian." Then he told what happened before.
"Oh, it turns out that after Ivan left, Qi Yue took her place." Lu Lei nodded, "Can he do a good job?"
Ying Jincheng glanced at the album that Qi Mingfan still couldn't bear to put down - it was obvious at a glance whether it was done well or not.
Interest flashed in his eyes, and he turned to ask Qi Mingyu, "Mingyu, he must talk to you often."
"Huh?" Qi Mingyu looked at Ying Jincheng in confusion. Although he didn't know why he asked, he still shook his head without hesitation, "He hasn't spoken to me much, and he usually answers when I ask. "
"What?..." Ying Jincheng looked at Qi Mingyu in surprise. He knew that Qi Mingyu was telling the truth, but he never expected it. However, Ying Jincheng suddenly remembered that when he met Qi Yue before, Qi Yue was at a loss. It didn't feel weird anymore. He smiled and shook his head, secretly thinking that he thought too much about people.
Qi Mingyu lowered his head and glanced at Qi Mingfan, and suddenly said, "He takes good care of Mingfan."
Ying Jincheng nodded.
Because Qi Yue has to cook for Qi Mingfan and Qi Mingyu every day, Xue Chengran hasn't had a meal with Qi Yue for many days. Today's classes are tight and there are a lot of homework. Qi Yue can't rush back at noon, so he stays In the school, Xue Chengran was caught. He took Qi Yue to the cafeteria, educating Qi Yue while walking, and called Ivan over halfway.
The three of them walked to the cafeteria together. Xue Chengran knocked Qi Yue on the head, "You bastard, you run away every day."
"Senior, Qi Yue has something to do. He has to work." Ivan defended Qi Yue.
"Hey..." Xue Chengran pointed at Ivan, "You actually helped this ungrateful little bastard bully me. I thought I took more care of him back then, but now I can't find him even if I want to have a meal with him... Hey, life is miserable. …”
Qi Yue and Ivan were dumbfounded. Qi Yue patted Xue Chengran on the shoulder and said, "Senior, I'll treat you to this meal."
Xue Chengran immediately pretended to be aggrieved. He nodded and said, "That's pretty much it."
Qi Yue specially gave Xue Chengran his favorite food, and then the three of them found a place to sit down and prepare to eat.
"Can I sit here, please?" came a gentle voice.
The three of them looked up together and found that the person standing in front of them was Ying Jincheng.
Ying Jincheng looked at Qi Yue helplessly while holding the dinner plate, "Mingyu has gone back to take care of Mingfan. Lu Lei didn't come to school today. I'm the only one. Can I do it?"
Qi Yue had the food in his mouth and hadn't chewed it yet. The moment he saw Ying Jincheng clearly, he swallowed the food reflexively... he choked a little. At that moment, he swore that he saw the corner of Ying Jincheng's mouth twitching. For a moment.
Because Ying Jincheng looked at Qi Yue and said it. Although he didn't mention him by name, he was obviously asking Qi Yue. Therefore, Xue Chengran and Ivan didn't say anything. They both looked at Qi Yue reflexively, with twinkling eyes. Incredible eyes—when had he become so familiar with Ying Jincheng
Really not - Qi Yue looked around and felt that there were definitely people who wanted to sit with Ying Jincheng, as long as Ying Jincheng said so. But he didn't have the guts to refuse Ying Jincheng, so he nodded quickly and asked Ying Jincheng to sit down.
"Thank you." Ying Jincheng smiled and thanked him gently.
After dinner, Xue Chengran and Yi Fan both had classes, so they left directly. Qi Yue also had classes and wanted to leave, but Ying Jincheng asked him to stay.
Ying Jincheng glanced at Qi Yue who was restless, chuckled, and said, "Shall we go for a walk?"
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Ying Jincheng thoughtfully chose a road that took Qi Yue to class, but there were not many people on this road.
"Why don't you speak?" Ying Jincheng asked.
Qi Yue scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know what to say."
Ying Jincheng looked at Qi Yue's lowered head, raised the corner of his mouth, and said directly, "I think you are a little afraid of me?... Really?"
Qi Yue suddenly raised his head, with obvious surprise in his eyes and a look of "how do you know?"
Seeing Qi Yue's silly look, Ying Jincheng burst out laughing, "Am I right?"
Qi Yue could only smile awkwardly - even if he denied it and said it wasn't, it seemed that he couldn't do it now.
"Why?" Ying Jincheng stopped and lowered his head to ask Qi Yue, with a gentle smile on his face.
At this time, they had unknowingly reached a remote corner.
Why? - Qi Yue couldn't tell. He was a little hesitant and wanted to leave here.
Ying Jincheng didn't want to let him go. He came closer to Qi Yue, stretched out his hands to hold Qi Yue's waist, preventing Qi Yue from retreating, and put his mouth against Qi Yue's ear, as if telling a secret, "Because you know that I like men." Yes, because you also..."
Qi Yue's body froze, and Ying Jincheng felt it.
"You don't want others to find out, do you?" Ying Jincheng raised his head and let go of his hand holding Qi Yue's waist, but his eyes were still staring at Qi Yue closely, "Why do you want to hide it?"
Staring at its prey like a wolf.
Qi Yue felt cold sweat break out on his back.
Seeing the face of the young man in front of him getting paler due to his words, Ying Jincheng narrowed his eyes. He was a little puzzled. He was obviously not such an aggressive person, but he just wanted to tear apart Qi Yue's disguise, so innocently A pair of clear eyes, looking at someone with a gaze that they clearly don't know how to hide, but carefully avoid, is really ridiculous and cute. What if you admit it? If you can no longer look at each other cautiously, what will happen to this person
"You are, right?" Ying Jincheng said again, "I can see it."
Qi Yue took a deep breath, his eyes stopped wandering, he looked at Ying Jincheng firmly and said, "So what?"
"Um?"
"Senior, I don't want to hide it deliberately, nor do I want to deceive anyone, but unlike you, I am not able to have the confidence to tell others, to be honest and admit my sexual orientation. I am just a poor boy who wants money but has no money. I just want to I finished my college quietly and didn’t want to cause other troubles. I don’t know why the senior asked me to admit it. Well, I admit that I like men. Is the senior satisfied with this? Maybe I cover up The senior can’t stand being secretive, so can you please just turn a blind eye to me from now on? I can also try to show up in front of the senior as little as possible... "
"That's not what I meant!" Ying Jincheng interrupted Qi Yue a little irritably, "That's not what I meant... I mean, well, I don't hate you, and you don't have to avoid me in the future."
Qi Yue looked at Ying Jincheng dumbfounded, not understanding what he meant. In his opinion, it was a bit baffling that Ying Jincheng suddenly came to him to talk about this topic.
Ying Jincheng suddenly shrugged his shoulders, "I think you are quite interesting."
Qi Yue looked at Ying Jincheng confused.
Ying Jincheng suddenly smiled, which really made Qi Yue feel like a spring breeze, but what he said made Qi Yue a little at a loss.
"I mean, I seem to be quite interested in you, even though your type is not at all what I like."
Qi Yue looked at Ying Jincheng stupidly.
Ying Jincheng rubbed Qi Yue's hair and said, "We can make friends."
