The King's Game

In a cafe near the community, Qi You and Lin Jie were sitting opposite each other, Lin Jie sighed and said, "To be honest, since I first met Xiao Nan when I was younger, I have never seen him reject an adult. Requests, he has always been very timid, the kind of person who will be cowarded when others are fierce. This year in our house, he is even more quiet and obedient. This is the first time I have seen him so determined that he would not obey what he said. Do what my mother says, even Jita doesn't change his face."

Qi You's heart moved, and he couldn't help laughing when he remembered Jiang Nan's appearance when he first met the bully in the class.

"Yesterday I was thinking, what kind of curse did that boy put on him? My mother was a little unbelievable at the time. After all, Jiang Nan had never resisted his family's decision in the past or in the past two years, except for my aunt and the others. When he passed away, my parents wanted to take him away from his hometown where he lived for more than ten years, and when he transferred to your school, I still remember him asking if he could not leave. Later, he knew that my mother was the only relative who was willing and financially After the strength took care of him, he asked if he could go separately from the people around him. At that time, my mother's company was in a hurry to sign a form and there was no delay, so he got into the car without saying a word." Lin Jie shook her head.

Qi You was taken aback for a moment, looking at the coffee cup in front of him, thinking of Jiang Nan's way of always giving in silently, he felt a little pain in his heart.

"No matter how we asked him yesterday, he refused to tell. I thought he fell in love with some unreliable person, and I was always worried that he would be cheated. If it was you, I wouldn't have helped persuade him like that. Yes," Lin Jie laughed at this point, but Qi You was surprised by what she said: "I thought you were reliable, smart and motivated, and sincere to others at the parent meeting last time. In fact, if you really have a relationship with Jiang It doesn't seem like a bad thing for Nan to be together. Actually, I really don't have any opinions just because you are boys. What age do you think this is? There are people who like the same sex in our class, and so do our classmates. It's normal to get along with him. My parents, who came from that era, couldn't accept it for a while, but they also sincerely treat Jiang Nan as their family, so they don't want him to go astray. .”

Qi You nodded seriously: "Jiang Nan actually knows it all, he said he felt very sorry for them."

"Really?" There was a smile in Lin Jie's eyes: "In fact, Xiao Nan is really a good boy. I originally wanted to find out what was going on and comfort him. After all, what they said yesterday was a bit too much. I I'm afraid he won't be able to think about it for a while."

Qi You couldn't help but want to ask what they said, but thinking of the identity of the person sitting opposite, he still didn't ask.

"Although I feel very relieved about you, I still have some doubts." Lin Jie changed the subject and looked at Qi You seriously.

"Just ask." Seeing the other party's serious expression, Qi You hurriedly said.

"Why do you like Xiaonan? Is it just because of a novelty, or do you really want to be with him forever? I can see from the last time I saw you that your family is very good. At the parent meeting , Auntie is sitting next to me. Although her personality looks good, can she accept this kind of affection? And other people in your family, will they be willing to accept Xiaonan? In the end, our family has nothing to do with you There are so many qualifications, but the person most qualified to manage has passed away, so we will do it for you, but your family is different, once they let you give up, how long can you hold on?" What Lin Jie said hit the nail on the head, and Qi You remembered the other party He is also a student of a famous university, and he knows that the other party's questioning is not only thinking about himself or worrying about Jiang Nan, but also reminding him.

"Don't worry, I have seriously thought about these things before graduation. If I don't have confidence or uncertainty about my future with him, I won't talk to him, and I won't be with him. I know that we are all boys, and we have to face several times more pressure than others, but I am willing to bear this, and I have the confidence to convince my parents. It's just... maybe not now."

"It doesn't matter, I just need to know that you have this determination." Lin Jie really admired the boy who was several years younger than herself at this time. Qi You was more thoughtful than children of the same age, not because of a moment A person who does things impulsively without considering the consequences, she can hear from the other party's serious tone that the other party has indeed thought about it seriously and made up his mind as he said.

"I think he is lucky to have a cousin like you." Before leaving, Qi You said sincerely to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie smiled: "The first time we met, I thought you could talk. When you come to our house for dinner, I will definitely speak well for you. My mother and the others are not ignorant people, they will definitely understand. "

Qi You also smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you cousin."

————

Not long after returning home, Qi You's cell phone rang, and a series of unfamiliar numbers were displayed on it.

He couldn't think of who would call him, and after answering the call, there was no sound from the other side for a long time, thinking that someone was just playing a prank, so he talked over there.

"Qi You..." A familiar female voice was faintly crying.

Qi You thought for a while, then said unsurely, "You are Xu Yan?"

"It's me..." Xu Yan said.

"Is there a problem?"

"Can't I find you if I have nothing to do?" Xu Yan asked, "Aren't we even friends now?"

After the conversation in the corridor last time, it’s not that Qi You never talked to Xu Yan again, but the attitude of the other party was completely refusing to cooperate, directly saying that he didn’t want to see him, and gradually he and Xu Yan never talked again, and Xu Yan didn’t If you took the initiative to find him again, the rumors in the school would end because the two "broke up". Qi You was still relieved at the time, thinking that this was fine, and thought that he would never have any interaction with this girl again. I didn't expect that the other party would call me at this time and ask myself this kind of question.

Qi You had no choice but to say, "Of course not."

"I just want to tell you that I'm going abroad." Xu Yan said.

Qi You was stunned for a moment, and said, "That's not bad, there is actually more room for development abroad, and it will be beneficial to you without any harm."

"Is that what you want to say?" Xu Yan asked.

"...Then congratulations? I wish you smooth sailing?" Qi You really didn't understand what else the other party wanted to hear. It is said that he had already understood what he said at the beginning, so there is no need to say too much now.

"Can you come and see me off?" Xu Yan asked, "Just say goodbye to the relationship that ended without a problem."

Qi You frowned slightly, and was about to say something when the other party said again: "I know I was impulsive at first, but I also really like you, just this time, okay? I won't bother you anymore, just a classmate It's just an individual."

"Don't say that," Qi You had no choice but to say, "I will go, when?"
