On the morning of the first day of the New Year, Qi Xingchen was woken up by loud knocks on the door.
There were no impatient people at home, so he got out of bed with two dark circles under his eyes. When he opened the door, he saw Qi Jiaze in a red jacket and dyed red hair.
"Brother, Happy New Year!"
Throwing caution to the wind, Qi Jiaze brandished his 1.85m long arms and legs and leaped onto Qi Xingchen like a human koala.
Qi Xingchen was pushed back a few steps by him and only managed to stop himself when he reached the desk.
Qi Jiaze was shocked. "Brother, why are you so weak all of a sudden?!"
After asking, he seemed to have found the answer himself and continued to be shocked. "Oh my god, brother, you have to pay attention to sustainable development. I know Bai Ye is charming, but don't damage your kidneys. It's not worth it! "
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
This little brat knew quite a lot.
Qi Xingchen said with difficulty, "Let go of me first."
"Okay." Qi Jiaze let go of him reluctantly.
"I was filming in the mountains for a month and a half and didn't pay attention to fitness, so my body is weaker than before."
"You don't have to explain." Qi Jiaze gave him an "I know everything" look. "I'm just reminding you. I think he cares about you a lot, so he won't ask for too much."
"Cough, cough." Qi Xingchen almost choked.
After calming down, he said coldly, "It seems that Tao Xuan taught you well. You even know how to use words like 'too much'."
"Of course! Not only will I ask for too much, but I will also burn my body and do it in broad daylight … "
"Okay, okay, okay." Qi Xingchen quickly gave him the red packet he had wrapped yesterday. "Happy New Year. Buy some walnuts with it."
"Hehe, thank you, brother. You really care about me."
Qi Xingchen was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say to his silly brother.
He rubbed his younger brother's fluffy hair and couldn't help but frown. "Don't always mess with your hair in the future. It's not good for your health. How many shops are you going to today? "
"Only your home."
"Then come with me to the hospital after you've paid your New Year greetings to my dad."
Qi Xingchen felt uncomfortable when he thought about Tao Xuan being alone in the hospital during Chinese New Year.
"Good! It just so happens that I'm going too. "
In the entire Qi Family, Qi Jiaze only dared to be presumptuous in front of him. After wishing Grandpa Qi and his brothers and sisters a happy new year, Qi Jiaze happily went to the hospital with Qi Xingchen.
When he got out of the car, he took out a cloth bag from the back seat. Qi Xingchen was curious. "What's this?"
"Brother, don't ask," Qi Jiaze said awkwardly. "It's nothing."
Qi Xingchen glanced at him and led the way to Tao Xuan's ward. When he stepped into the ward, he realized that Tao Xuan and the nurse weren't the only ones in the room.
Tao Tao was also there.
However, she was putting things into her bag and looked like she was about to leave.
Qi Xingchen called out, "Sister Tao Tao." Tao Tao picked up her bag and said with a smile, "No wonder Brother Ye is so close to you. It turns out that you two are together. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so silly to interrupt your date last time. I'm so sorry. "
"It's okay," Qi Xingchen said lightly. "If you didn't come to us, how could you talk about the Golden Falcon Awards interview?"
During the interview on the red carpet, the emcee deliberately led the topic to the scandal between him and Bai Ye. At that time, Shang Yuliang helped him cover up, but not only did Tao Tao not help him, she even confirmed with a few words that they went out for a private date.
How could Tao Tao not hear the sarcasm in his words? Her expression changed slightly. "Xing Xing, I didn't mean it. At that time, I didn't know that there was something between you and Brother Ye. How could I have guessed that he actually liked men? I thought that you two were just friends and went out for a meal. "
Qi Xingchen said, "Oh, I was wrong about you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Help me say Happy New Year to Brother Ye. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first! "
After saying that, Tao Tao waved and left. She looked very anxious. She wondered which film crew was still working overtime during the New Year.
However, it was not easy for her to come to see Tao Xuan. Qi Xingchen gestured for Qi Jiaze to close the door. He turned around and sat beside Tao Xuan's bed. "Have you had breakfast?"
"No."
When he saw Qi Xingchen, Tao Xuan's dim eyes immediately lit up. "Why are you here?"
"It's the first day of the Chinese New Year, so I came to see you."
"No, no," Tao Xuan quickly waved his hand. "It's not auspicious to go to the hospital during the New Year. Brother Xing Xing, hurry and take Jiaze back."
"Hey!" Before Qi Xingchen could answer, Qi Jiaze, who had just closed the door, said unhappily, "My brother came to give you a New Year's greeting personally, but you actually chased him away. How dare you?"
"I'm afraid that you'll be affected by bad luck." Tao Xuan frowned.
When the teenagers bickered, they were full of vigor. Seeing that Tao Xuan had the strength to quarrel with Qi Jiaze, Qi Xingchen's mood improved a lot. At this time, Qi Jiaze opened the cloth bag he had been carrying and took out a lunchbox. He slapped it on Tao Xuan's hand. "Breakfast, hurry up and eat."
Tao Xuan: "This is …?"
"Didn't you want to eat noodles with soy sauce yesterday …" Qi Jiaze mumbled. "There are so many good things to eat during the New Year, but you insist on noodles with soy sauce. You're really drunk."
Tao Xuan pretended not to hear him. He opened the lunchbox, picked up some noodles with his chopsticks, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Qi Xingchen and his brother had eaten breakfast at the Qi residence, so the two of them silently looked at Tao Xuan. Halfway through, Qi Jiaze could not help but ask, "How does it taste?"
"Delicious."
Qi Jiaze raised his eyebrows and snorted proudly. His tail was almost in the air.
Qi Xingchen seemed to understand something.
The noodles with soy sauce were most likely made by the little brat himself.
"Brother Xing Xing." Probably because he was embarrassed to eat alone, Tao Xuan tried to cover up his shyness by chatting. "Did something happen between you and my sister?"
Tao Xuan was listening to them just now. Qi Xingchen did not want to lie to him, so he nodded. "Yes."
On one side was his friend, and on the other was his sister. Qi Xingchen was afraid that Tao Xuan would be stuck in the middle, so he comforted him gently. "It's just a small matter, don't worry."
Tao Xuan said, "Brother Xing Xing, you don't have to restrain yourself in front of me. My relationship with my sister … is actually not as good as it seems. "
In the past, whenever Tao Tao was mentioned, Tao Xuan would always be silent. Qi Xingchen was stunned. He did not expect that he would take the initiative to talk today.
"The media said that we depended on each other since we were young, and that she started working in the entertainment industry to raise me … To be honest, she did raise me, but it's not as good as the media made it sound. Ever since she left home, I rarely saw her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sick for so long. The lack of effective treatment in the early stages led to the rapid deterioration in the later stages.
"She also rarely sent messages or called to ask about my condition. This time, you arranged for me to stay in the hospital and a nurse, but she didn't even ask about the medical fees."
The more Tao Xuan spoke, the more shocked Qi Xingchen became. He always thought that Tao Tao did not love her brother that much, but now he realized that it was not that she did not "love" him that much, but that she did not care at all.
"Every time she comes to see me, it's as if she's on a mission … Forget it." Tao Xuan put down his bowl and smiled. "Let's not talk about it. We should talk about happy things during the New Year. Why am I telling you all this?"
"It's okay," Qi Xingchen said. "We're willing to share your burden."
Qi Xingchen did not have any family in the past, so he could not experience brotherly love. Now that he had Qi Jiaze, he could not help but curse when he thought about how Tao Xuan was treated.
He took a deep breath, patted Tao Xuan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Since you and Jiaze are so close, if you don't mind, you can treat me like a brother in the future."
"Treat you like a brother … Can I really?"
Qi Xingchen said seriously, "Yes."
Tao Xuan sniffed, and his eyes turned red. "Brother."
"Mm, Jiaze and I will take care of you in the future."
.
When they walked out of the hospital, Qi Xingchen felt as if there was a lump in his chest, and he could not breathe.
What was even more disgusting was that not long after, the article "Tao Tao accompanied her brother to the hospital for the New Year, showing her gentleness by being busy" went viral on the internet. Once again, Tao Tao's tough and tenacious image was severely damaged.
Qi Jiaze stayed behind to accompany Tao Xuan. He had to visit the Liang family with his sister, so he left after giving Tao Xuan a red packet. After sitting in the car for a while, he finally felt better. He went home and met up with Qi Yuji, and they went to the Liang family together.
Today was the first time he met Father and Mother Liang. Surprisingly, although Uncle Liang and Auntie Liang were businessmen, they had a scholarly air about them. They were upright and stood by their principles.
Qi Xingchen finally understood why Liang Jing, a high-level intellectual, could be fooled by Tao Tao. It was obvious that the other party had grasped the weakness of his character.
This trip was very fruitful. According to Liang Jing, the basic construction of the two foreign research laboratories had been completed. After the New Year, they could set up a project at any time and start financing.
In other words, his money could be transferred abroad. Qi Xingchen happily counted the balance in his account. Adding the more than 10 million yuan he received yesterday, the income from the diamond mine, Baisha Port, and his own income, he now had more than 80 million yuan.
Qi Xingchen could not help but smack his lips. He might be the only person in "Peaches of the Night" who had become rich overnight with the New Year's money.
On the second day of the New Year, he had visited all the people he wanted to visit. He spent the day at home with his family.
In the morning, he studied with Qi Yunxiao. In the afternoon, he learned how to arrange flowers with Qi Yuji. At night, he massaged his father's back and listened to his father talk about his experience of starting a business.
The joy of family was nothing more than this.
He also received good news. The actual controller of the Stars Asset Management Fund had been changed and was now officially under his name.
On the third day of the New Year, after explaining the reason to his family, he put on the clothes he had carefully chosen for half a night and brought some daily necessities, ready to go to the neighboring province to be tortured.
When he went downstairs, before he walked out of the house, Father Qi suddenly stopped him. "Xing Xing, are you going to your girlfriend's house empty-handed?"
"No." Qi Xingchen pointed to his backpack. "I bought a pearl brooch and health supplements."
"Will that work?" Father Qi found his daughter, who was very good at giving gifts. "Yuji, go to the warehouse and find two gifts."
A few minutes later, Qi Yuji came out with two boxes. One was a necklace inlaid with diamonds produced by their family's mine, and the other was a ginseng that was really hundreds of years old.
"It's the first time we visit them, so the gifts shouldn't be too expensive. It'll seem like we're trying to curry favor with them. But it can't be too light. We have to show them the Qi family's financial resources. I, Qi Xiaoming's son, will stand straight wherever he goes. "
Father Qi paused. "Even when you're with your girlfriend, you can't be … down there, understand?"
Qi Xingchen silently wiped away his bitter tears.
I'm sorry, dad. Your youngest son has already done QAQ.
"Also," Father Qi continued to ask, "how are you going to get there?"
"Plane. Bai Ye will pick me up."
"Plane? Plane? "
As if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, Father Qi was surprised. "It's too troublesome to take a plane. You and your girlfriend are public figures. When you get off the plane, it's a big problem whether you can leave the airport or not. Yun Xiao, contact someone immediately to apply for a flight route. "
An hour later, he changed from taking a plane to a private jet. It took off from the tarmac of his home and headed to the neighboring province.
.
The private jet greatly reduced the unnecessary waiting time. Before Qi Xingchen had time to be nervous, the plane landed at the location they had arranged in advance. The flight attendant got up and opened the cabin door for him.
After more than ten days, he finally saw Bai Ye again. He was overjoyed and skipped down.
However, the moment he saw the person opposite him, his smile froze on his lips.
Because the person who came to pick him up was not only the lover he missed day and night, but also a couple.
In terms of appearance, this couple was more or less similar to Bai Ye.
Without asking, he knew that they were Bai Ye's parents.
… Ahhh, what the hell!
Which parents would personally pick him up when he was meeting the other party's parents? Also, he had been naughty and immature just now. He must have tarnished his image!
As if he had already foreseen the outcome of him being passed, Qi Xingchen's eyes were bleak and his heart was wailing.
However, Bai Ye felt that he hadn't embarrassed himself enough, so he strode over. He took his backpack with his left hand and pulled him into his arms with his right. He leaned over and kissed his fair forehead, whispering, "I missed you so much."
Qi Xingchen: "…"
Your parents are watching. Aren't you embarrassed, brother?
Even if you aren't, I still want my face.
However, what he didn't know was that while he was feeling hopeless, Bai Ye's parents were on the verge of going crazy.
Bai Ye's mother stared at the two people hugging each other and shook Bai Ye's arm frantically. "He's so small, so soft, so cute! Oh my god, how can there be such a good-looking boy in the world! "
Bai Ye's father: "Calm down."
Bai Ye's mother: "Don't you like him?"
Bai Ye's father: "I like him. You know, I've always wanted a cute child."
Bai Ye's mother sighed. "Sigh, when I see him, I suddenly feel that our son is not likable."
Bai Ye's father: "I feel the same. I also think that he's nicer than our son."
Bai Ye's mother: "Then … why don't we throw our son away and raise him?"
Bai Ye's father: "Honey, you're so smart. I think it'll work."
