Poor little Xing Xing did not know what had happened in that short hour.
Before he had a home, the dormitory was just a place to stay. Now that he had a home, the moment he saw the door, he actually felt like returning home.
He wanted to see his father, brother, and sister. He wanted to see if they were healthy and happy … If the little brat who drove the hot air balloon was here, he wanted to see him too.
Then, he opened the door and saw his father and brother with serious expressions.
"… Dad, Brother, Sister, I'm back." Qi Xingchen almost thought that his family was about to go bankrupt. "What's wrong?"
“！！ Xing Xing is back!! "Qi Yuji hurriedly got up." My soup is still simmering. Wait for me to take a look! "
When Father Qi saw his handsome and tender youngest son, his serious expression instantly turned into a loving one. "It's nothing. We were just talking about some business. Come here and let Dad take a look. "
Qi Xingchen put down his backpack and obediently sat on the sofa next to Qi Xiaoming. Qi Xiaoming observed for a moment and said with heartache, "You've lost weight. Don't drink your sister's soup later. Eat something else."
Seeing that Qi Xiaoming was still wary of Qi Yuji, Qi Xingchen knew that there was nothing wrong at home. He joked with Father Qi.
Then, Qi Yunxiao asked, "Xing Xing, are you tired?"
"No, I slept on the way here."
Even someone as calm as Qi Yunxiao could not suppress his worry for his younger brother. He got up and said, "If you're not tired, come with me. I have something to ask you."
Qi Xingchen thought that he was going to ask about Kevin or what happened at the banquet, so he happily followed him into the study.
In the end, Qi Yunxiao's words directly smashed him to the ground.
"Xing Xing, you have a girl you like?"
It was Qi Yuji who helped him figure out that he liked Bai Ye. Qi Xingchen could guess that Qi Yuji was the one who told his elder brother about it. His face fell instantly!
Seeing his reaction, Qi Yunxiao knew that Qi Yuji was right. He couldn't help but ask, "Which girl is she? How did they know each other? A friend or a colleague from the entertainment industry? Does she like you? "
After saying so much, Qi Yunxiao paused. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'm just asking. I don't have any other thoughts. As long as you're happy, it's fine."
"No, there's no girl I like."
Qi Xingchen didn't want to hide it from his family, but he wasn't sure if they would accept the fact that he liked someone of the same sex. He said tentatively, "But I think … I like a man."
"…" Qi Yunxiao fell silent.
Qi Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. In the eyes of many people, liking someone of the same sex was an abnormal state of mind. Many people even thought that homosexuality was shameful and perverted.
What if his family couldn't accept it? Would he run away from home like the original owner? But wouldn't his family be sad? But he really didn't want to give up on Bai Ye … Qi Xingchen clenched his fists and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
"… Xing Xing."
About two minutes later, Qi Yunxiao called out softly. Qi Xingchen looked up at Qi Yunxiao.
"Are you sure … you really like men? Or is it because of a moment of impulse or because you've been influenced by others that you've misunderstood your sexual orientation? "
Compared to the general public, the entertainment industry and the arts industry liked people of the same sex more. Qi Yunxiao was afraid that his younger brother would be led astray in such an environment and not really like people of the same sex.
Qi Xingchen nodded firmly. "I'm not sure about my sexual orientation, but I'm sure I like him."
"… It's good that you're sure." Qi Yunxiao sighed in relief. "As your brother, I'll support all of your decisions. But this has to be based on the fact that you know his character and that he doesn't have a history of promiscuity, illness, or a simple private life. Otherwise, we won't agree to let you be with him."
"I'm sure I don't have any of those." Qi Xingchen had absolute faith in Bai Ye's character.
Qi Yunxiao relaxed completely after hearing that. What followed was a strong itch in his heart. What did this pig look like if he could take away the little cabbage that the Qi Family had spent so much effort on? How old was he? What kind of work did he do? Was he good enough? Was he good enough for Xing Xing …
The elder brother was like a father. Qi Yunxiao's head was getting bigger and bigger. He was afraid that he hadn't thought things through and let his beloved Xing Xing be wronged.
"Young Master, Second Young Master, dinner is ready."
Out of the blue, the butler's voice came from the door. His stomach was more important. Qi Yunxiao decided to put aside his worries for now and bring his younger brother downstairs for dinner.
.
Unfortunately, Qi Xingchen still couldn't escape from Qi Yuji's evil clutches this time. A bowl of soup was placed on the dining table. The smell of the dark cuisine kept wafting into his nose.
However, perhaps it was because he was familiar with it the first time, but Qi Xingchen actually didn't find it that bad. He used a small spoon to slowly digest the soup. Little did he know that his family members were typing furiously under the table, each faster than the other.
Qi Yuji created a three-person group chat.
First Clear After the Rain: [Big Brother, did you find out who Xing Xing likes?]
Qi Xiaoming: [.]
Xiao: [I don't want to force Xing Xing. He didn't take the initiative to say, so I didn't ask either.]
First Clear After the Rain: [… Why didn't you ask!]
Qi Xiaoming: [.]
Xiao: [Yuji, control your expression. Xing Xing is looking at you.]
First Clear After the Rain: [Okay.]
First Clear After the Rain: [Actually, I have a guess. Do you want to hear it?]
Qi Xiaoming: [.]
Xiao: [Say it.]
First Clear After the Rain: [Big Brother, did Xing Xing tell you whether he likes men or women?]
Qi Xiaoming: [?]
Xiao: [Men.]
Qi Xiaoming: [!]
First Clear After the Rain: [Dad, don't be surprised. Whether it's Xing Xing or us, we have the right to choose to be with girls or boys. We can also choose not to be with anyone and live freely. You can't be like those parents in novels who break up mandarin ducks.]
Xiao: [Yes.]
Qi Xiaoming: [.]
First Clear After the Rain: [Dad, I'll talk to you later. I'll tell you my guess first. I dug around and found that Xing Xing is very close to a celebrity named Bai Ye.]
Xiao: [I've heard of Bai Ye.]
Qi Xiaoming: [I've heard of it too.]
First Clear After the Rain: [Dad, where did you hear it?]
Qi Xiaoming: [Spring Festival Gala.]
First Clear After the Rain: [Ah … I'll continue. Xing Xing personally went to watch Bai Ye's performance, ate ordinary boxed lunches himself, ordered the best meals for Bai Ye, and took Bai Ye to the aquarium to play at night … Anyway, he's super good to Bai Ye, so I suspect that Xing Xing likes him.]
Papa Bro was speechless.
I'm a little jealous.
Qi Xiaoming: [What's the character of that kid surnamed Bai?]
First Clear After the Rain: [I'm not sure.]
Xiao: [I can't comment. I've considered asking him to endorse before, but it didn't work out. But I believe in Xing Xing's judgment.]
Qi Xiaoming thought for a moment: ['Believe' is the most useless emotion in the world. Seeing is believing. Why don't I go and see for myself?]
Qi Yuji hurriedly stopped him: [Don't go, Dad. You'll scare him!]
Qi Xiaoming had been in the domestic and international business circles for many years and frequently interacted with all kinds of big shots in the business and political world. Therefore, he looked very serious.
In fact, he was indeed a serious person, but he was more kind to his children. If he rashly went to see him, he would probably scare his sister-in-law away.
Xiao: [Why don't I go?]
Xiao: [When Xing Xing returns to the show, I'll pretend to visit him and observe Bai Ye.]
The other two thought that this was a good idea. After exchanging glances, they gave each other a thumbs up in agreement.
"Dad, Brother, Sister." Qi Xingchen saw that they had not eaten and asked curiously, "Aren't you hungry?"
"Oh, I'm hungry. Let's eat now."
.
The Qi family was not addicted to alcohol, but today, their youngest son was home. The four of them were finally reunited after half a month. Father Qi was happy. He poured a bottle of low-alcohol white wine and had two glasses with his children.
During the meal, Father Qi asked some work-related questions, and Qi Xingchen answered truthfully. The meal was joyous and harmonious. After the meal, the auntie removed the table and replaced it with desserts and fruits. The four of them had just eaten a few pieces when there was a rumbling sound outside.
It sounded like a truck had passed by.
The Qi family's villa was built independently, so there was no situation of neighbors driving trucks. Usually, the gardener used a small pickup truck to carry the soil and fertilizer, so there was no noise.
The harmonious atmosphere was broken, and Qi Yunxiao's face instantly darkened. Qi Xingchen was afraid that his brother would get angry, so he took the initiative to say, "Brother, wait here. I'll go out and take a look."
"Xing Xing, I'll go with you." Qi Yuji got up with him.
The two of them walked through their garden and asked the guard to open the door. Indeed, there was a truck parked not far away. The cabin was completely sealed and they could not see what was inside.
Qi Xingchen opened his mouth and wanted to ask the truck driver. Before Qi Xingchen could say anything, the door to the front passenger seat opened and Qi Jiaze, who had grayish-gray hair, jumped out. He rushed to Qi Xingchen and said, "Brother! You're really back! "
"Yes, I'm back." Qi Xingchen took two steps back and patted him on the back. "Have you been in a fight recently?"
"No! Didn't you tell me not to bully my classmates? I was very obedient. I didn't fight even once! "
Qi Jiaze let go of Qi Xingchen and looked him up and down. "… F * ck, why are you so thin? Didn't the program take good care of you?"
"The program is very good." Qi Xingchen quickly waved his hand. "I didn't lose weight. I just became a little stronger because of the intensity of the training."
Qi Jiaze was skeptical. Qi Xingchen's attention was still on the truck behind them. He asked in confusion, "Jiaze, why did you come here in a truck? Did your family take your car away?"
"… F * ck, I was so happy to see you that I almost forgot about business."
Qi Jiaze rubbed his bangs. "No, I'm here to give you a gift."
Qi Xingchen's pupils constricted when he heard the word "gift". The gifts from the Qi family were getting more and more expensive and ridiculous. Qi Xingchen felt that he was going to get "Gift Stress Disorder" and quickly refused. "I told you last time that I didn't want a gift!"
And what kind of gift would need a truck? It must be something expensive!
"You said you didn't want an expensive gift." Qi Jiaze seemed to be able to read his mind. He walked to the back of the truck and smiled mysteriously. "Mine is not expensive. You can accept it without worry."
Hearing this, Qi Xingchen relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to believe him completely. After all, the "expensive" in Qi Jiaze's eyes might be different from the "expensive" in the world.
Qi Yuji was very curious about what this kid was going to give. She looked at the truck with Qi Xingchen.
Then they saw the door of the truck open with their own eyes. Two white horses jumped out. Their bodies were as light as swallows, and they drew a beautiful arc in the air.
They landed on the soft grass and neighed with their heads raised.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
He had seen cats, dogs, and hamsters as gifts in his life, but he had never seen a horse as a gift!
How could he still accept this little brother???!!!
Qi Xingchen's mind went blank. Qi Yuji frowned and observed for a moment. "Eh?" She trotted to the side of the horses.
Perhaps because they were in a new environment, the horses were not used to it and were jumping around anxiously. Qi Yuji was not afraid at all. She touched its mane and said, "Its head is thin and its neck is high. Its skin is thin and its hair is thin. Its sweat is like blood … Jiaze, where did you find this golden Ferghana horse?"
… Ferghana horses? Were they the Ferghana horses that often appeared on TV and in novels?
But why were the Ferghana horses white?
Hearing this, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but go forward to observe. When he got closer, he realized that the horse's mane wasn't white, but a light gold. The structure of its muscles was perfect, like a carefully carved work of art. It was delicate and wild.
No boy could resist this temptation. Qi Xingchen reached out and touched it gently. Qi Jiaze glanced at his movement and smiled at Qi Yuji proudly. "I ordered them from Turkmenistan. I spent almost a month trying to persuade the horse farm to sell them to me."
"How much?" Qi Yuji asked. "Less than two or three hundred, right?"
"Money isn't important. As long as you like them," Qi Jiaze moved to Qi Xingchen's side. "Brother, do you like them?"
"I like them," Qi Xingchen said affirmatively. "But don't waste them next time."
He knew that Qi Yuji was definitely not talking about two or three hundred dollars. With such good condition, it was estimated to be two or three million dollars.
"Okay, okay." Qi Jiaze nodded perfunctorily.
Qi Xingchen sighed and thought about how to return the money to Qi Jiaze. He was underage and couldn't work. It wasn't good to spend his parents' money to buy the horses.
Qi Jiaze didn't know what he was thinking. He pulled his sleeve with his left hand and led the horse with his right hand. He talked about the interesting story of buying the horses as they walked to the backyard of the Qi residence.
There was a stable in the backyard of the Qi residence that had never been used. Qi Jiaze tied the horses and said, "I've contacted the breeder. He'll come over tomorrow morning. You don't have to feed them tonight."
"Okay. What about the water?"
"Water is like this …"
Qi Jiaze told Qi Xingchen a few things to pay attention to and the habits of the horses. Qi Xingchen took notes carefully. Suddenly, he remembered something. "… Jiaze, I don't know how to ride a horse."
"I remember that you learned from Brother Liang Jing for a while … It's okay." Qi Jiaze took out his phone. "I didn't attend the equestrian class well. Why don't you ask Brother Liang Jing to teach you?"
