stubborn stone

They did not leave the residential area.On the contrary, Qi Shoulin was walking deeper.Chi Yan followed silently behind him on the left.He didn't dare to say, "Mr. Qi, I really shouldn't have asked you to pay the bill." The rich people's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys really made him puzzled.Qi Shoulin wrapped himself tightly again, put his hands in his coat pockets and walked with his head slightly lowered.After dinner, the temperature dropped even lower.But there is still no way to stop the children's enthusiasm for playing outside. "Uncle! Help me kick the ball here!" Chi Yan failed to catch the football that was rolling over quickly, because Qi Shoulin stopped the old football that was covered with sand and mud spots as soon as he stretched his legs.But he didn't kick it back immediately, I saw him stepping on the tip lightly, and the football rolled onto his instep.Regardless of the dust on his expensive leather shoes and trousers, he just bounced the ball like this.The children gathered around, but Qi Shoulin still had his hands in his pockets, his upper body barely moved, but his feet bounced the ball very steadily, and he was even able to stop the ball on his instep.There was a cry of admiration among the children.Qi Shoulin kicked the ball back to them, and the children chased the ball again. "President Qi, you played really well!" It seemed that this move made him not so superior, Chi Yan praised unconsciously.Although Qi Shoulin didn't say anything, Chi Yan felt that the face under the scarf seemed to have a hint of a smile—the low air pressure lingering around him dissipated at some point.

The two continued to walk, went up a slope and stopped at the end, looking back just enough to overlook the entire residential area.Some fitness equipment and swings and seesaws have been built here, but no children have come up to occupy it.Qi Shoulin sat on a swing with his legs bent, and because of his height, he could only swing a little.At this time, Chi Yan would never go up and ask such stupid questions as "Mr. Qi, do I need to help you on the swing?", so he could only stand a few steps away from him and watch silently.The standard earthy music came from the small hair salon under the slope, and the songs were nothing more than straightforward lyrics such as I love you, you don't love me, being your person, and why you cheated.Chi Yan looked at Qi Shoulin's tall body nestled in a small swing, looking at the lights of Wanjia, and couldn't help feeling that he was... a little lonely, a little... pitiful.I don't know why I have to escape from my own world, away from the attention of everyone, away from the front and back, and come to a place where no one knows him, to enjoy this moment of quiet solitude, to do things that others would not think what he will do.Although they didn't say a few words in a serious manner, Qi Shoulin was not as cold as he seemed on the surface.There was a look of pity in Chi Yan's eyes. It turns out that rich people are not so happy, and he doesn't even have anyone to confide in.

I don't know how long I sat there, I saw Qi Shoulin took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then suddenly looked back at him, and stretched out his hand: "My battery is out." Chi Yan realized that he wanted to borrow his mobile phone, and quickly took out the mobile phone to wipe it on his pants. After tapping the screen a few times, he handed it to him.Qi Shoulin took the mobile phone that was still with Yu Wen and turned it on. The screen had cracked like spider webs, and it was difficult to read the words on the mobile phone. "Uh..." Chi Yan also realized this embarrassing scene, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong after he was used to it, "The last time I was in 'Tungsten Gold'...it cracked, but the standby time is quite long It was broken during a fight with Mr. Xu earlier, and it would cost hundreds of dollars to replace the screen. Anyway, there is no big problem with the black screen and blurred screen, so I just made do with it.Under the light of the screen, Qi Shoulin's slender fingers turned red from the cold. He let out a breath and continued to dial the phone. "It's me... just wait for me in the company building."

The two walked out through the vertical and horizontal paths.Chi Yan was like an unskilled clown racking his brains to say some funny topics in front of the emperor.He didn't know why he, who was not good at words, would suddenly speak out of nowhere, obviously all he needed was silence—walking silently, driving silently, and sending Qi Shoulin to his destination silently.But he felt that it shouldn't be like this, since he had "escaped" according to his intention, he should be satisfied and go back with a smile on his face to be worthy of this "escape" on the spur of the moment. "Alone", but you can control the time without the attention of others.Qi Shoulin still didn't speak, and didn't respond, he just felt that he was wrapping himself even tighter.Chi Yan also gradually shut up, thinking that he is really stupid, Mr. Qi just likes to be alone quietly, can't he see it for so long?I was like a noisy crow talking around him all the time, he was already very cultivated without telling himself to shut up.After passing a long narrow road, there was the sound of collecting waste electric tricycles behind them, and the two stood side by side, waiting for the car to pass by. "Let it be! Be careful!" the owner yelled.Chi Yan stood in front of Qi Shoulin, because there were people in front of him, so they were very close.Qi Shoulin lowered his head slightly and could see Chi Yan's short, stiff hair on top of his head and a small curl in between, and further down was the exposed thin neck... where the glands were located.Although not as strong as α and Ω, in fact, βs also emit pheromone naturally.Even if an alpha of Qi Shoulin's level closes his eyes and fully opens his perception, he can even know how many people are around him, their gender, and the smell of pheromone corresponding to each person.Speaking of "taste", the perception of pheromones is actually different from the sense of smell. It is not "smelling" but "feeling" pheromones through the gonads, thereby sending corresponding information to the brain.Such a close distance can be called privacy, Qi Shoulin can feel the pheromones of the people around him, some people are like an old book, some people are like metal, and some people are like the fragrance of flowers.And "Xiaoshi", "Xiaoshi"...like...

There was nothing but the unbelievable heat from the exposed skin that blew across Qi Shoulin's face.

Not at all.

Chi Yan was suddenly pinned by Qi Shoulin's shoulders from behind, and even pushed inward a little.He was taken aback, and was relieved to see the paper shells on the waste car barely brushing past him.When the car passed by, Qi Shoulin was still holding his shoulders as he was about to move forward. "President Qi... what's wrong?" Chi Yan almost held his breath to endure the pain in his shoulder.Qi Shoulin let go of him upon hearing this, and continued walking forward.Chi Yan walked a few steps slower, followed behind and secretly rubbed his shoulders.That's a lot of strength, he thought.

For the first time, Chi Yan knew that the landmark building in City A was Qi Shoulin's company—it was a building, or a giant tower, that had to be raised ninety degrees to see all the floors.The exterior wall seems to be a glass curtain wall with a metallic texture, and the overall shape is also very modern without losing its atmosphere.There will be no light pollution caused by reflections during the day, and there are no decorative exterior lights at night.Standing among the surrounding resplendent buildings, on the stage in City A, others seem to decorate themselves with gold, jewelry, and fancy clothes, showing off their wealth with the utmost beauty.And what he used was steel, iron, and armor.

The car stopped firmly outside the building.Chi Yan turned on the ceiling light, and slightly nodded to see off the guests: "President Qi, we're here. You go slowly...uh, and..." He reached out and touched his trouser pocket for a while, as if he was afraid that Qi Shoulin would wait for a long time, so he simply They took them out together—the crumpled one, five, and ten dollars were scattered.He squeezed a new-looking ten-dollar ten-dollar bill and straightened it in his hand. After barely smoothing it out, he handed it to Qi Shoulin with both hands, "This is, meal money..." Qi Shoulin can invite others to dinner, but these people are not him.He can't pay for others, but he still has to pay back the money for his green pepper scrambled egg rice bowl.Qi Shoulin turned to look at Chi Yan, not to threaten him to lie, not to borrow a cell phone, nor for any other reason, then pulled down the scarf, and said softly: "The beef soup is delicious. Thank you." He didn't look back Get off the bus.

This was the first time Chi Yan heard Qi Shoulin talking to him without wearing a scarf.Compared with looking at Qi Shoulin's appearance, his voice is very different.It's not the kind of mellow low-pitched voice that naturally fits his appearance, on the contrary, the voice is relatively high-pitched, so that when he speaks softly, it seems to be mixed with a rustling sound.Is it because he doesn't like talking because his voice and appearance don't match?Chi Yan thought to himself.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the cold wind blew a corner of Qi Shoulin's overcoat constantly.He climbed up the stairs, but walked very slowly and heavily.Before reaching the end of the stairs, more than a dozen people in suits ran down from the building quickly, holding up a black umbrella to shield him from the wind and rain, greeting him timidly but not daring to presume.

Chi Yan watched Qi Shoulin, surrounded by the crowd, walk into the brightly lit building.

It was as if the emperor had returned to his heavenly palace.
