don't sacrifice

"Ah Chen, someone is looking for you."

As soon as Zhou Qichen came out of the bathroom, he saw Xiao Xu and walked over.After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed Zhou Qichen's reddish eyes, and he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked in a slightly worried lowered voice, "Are you crying?"

"No." Zhou Qichen quickly wiped his eyes vigorously, "I washed my face. Who is looking for me?"

"Well, it's Miss Shen. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing him like that, Xiao Xu felt that the two of them had really fallen out.He patted Zhou Qichen's arm lightly, "Hurry up."

"I don't..." Zhou Qichen didn't want to see Shen Luli now, his mind was already in a mess.But he suddenly thought that the key to his house was still with her, Xiaobai was going to eat at his house tonight, and he would get it back sooner or later.

"...Then I'll go and watch you."

Seeing Xiao Xu nodded, he turned around and went out.

From a distance, he saw Shen Luli standing upright under the shade of the big tree at the door, and when he came out, his eyes deliberately drifted aside so as not to meet his gaze.

Today's weather is really hot and dry. In just a few steps from the door to the tree, Zhou Qichen felt the power of hot summer.

"Why don't you go in, it's so hot here." He approached Lu Li, fanning the wind with one hand pretendingly.He really hoped to make the topic easier this time.

"Achen." Shen Luli suddenly turned back to face him.Seeing her slightly red and swollen eyes, Zhou Qichen pursed his lower lip.Must have cried all night.

"I...what I said yesterday was a bit serious, and I was too angry at that time." Lu Li's red and swollen eyes suddenly became misty again, "It's just why you didn't tell me about this? Could it be because of me last time? Say you meddle in your own business, and you think I... am a selfish person, and then you don't like me that much?"

"I..." I thought she was here to continue the quarrel, but I didn't expect her to cry.Zhou Qichen didn't know what to do, and stood there for a while.Then Shen Luli rushed over, grabbed Zhou Qichen's shoulders with both hands, and sobbed slightly in his arms.

When she rushed over, Zhou Qichen unexpectedly took half a step back unconsciously.He had noticed it himself, so when Lu Li was crying, he just froze there without any reaction.

Am I not liking Lu Li now?He took a deep breath slightly, and asked himself in his heart, what is the reason for this?

Lu Li's shoulders trembled slightly in his arms, and he felt a few hot tears dripping on his chest.In the end he gently pushed her out of his arms, and the two looked at each other, with tears in their eyes and a pair of hesitant to speak.

"Listen to me, Lu Li." Zhou Qichen finally organized his words, and said to Lu Li in a gentle tone, "There have been a lot of things happening recently, can you wait for me to calm down for a while before answering you?"

After hearing what he said, Shen Luli was stunned, and then tears welled up in her eyes, "I know what it means, it means that you may really not like me anymore! I don't want to do this!"

"Lu, Lu Li..." Seeing that she was crying even harder, Zhou Qichen's heart softened for a moment, "Don't do this..." He gently stroked her shoulder with his hand, trying to comfort her.

"I really like you..." Shen Luli broke down in tears, "It was my fault for being selfish and willful in the past, can you..."

"It's not your fault, Lu Li." Zhou Qichen suddenly made up his mind. For the first time, he decided to tell Shen Luli about his past, "Actually, I'm not worthy of your liking. I used to...like men."

"What..." Shen Luli stopped crying, raised his head full of tears, and stared at Zhou Qichen in surprise, "What did you say?"

"I used to like a man for three years." Zhou Qichen said those words word by word with a bitter smile on his lips.

"Now, do you still like me that much?"

"Do you think I'm sick again?"

This seems to be the case with fate, which looks beautiful on the surface but hides dark traps.You never know that the beauty of this moment will be the beginning of tragedy.

After Xiaobai came out of the hospital, he took the bus directly to Carrefour.He usually only goes to the alley door of his house to buy vegetables, and it is rare to go to such a place.

But today is different from the past.Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up to the sky.The sun moved to the west, and the warm afternoon wind caressed his cheeks, and everything looked beautiful to him now.

"Hmm... I was too happy to ask Police Officer Zhou what he likes to eat." When he arrived at the supermarket, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little worried when faced with the dazzling array of fruits and vegetables.He looked at this and felt that Zhou Qichen might not like it, and that was not too fresh... He really wanted to cook a perfect dinner for Zhou Qichen, so he got entangled in various details.

"Why don't you buy some winter melon, it can relieve the heat..."

"Then why don't you buy some pork rib stew..."

"No, no, I'd better buy cucumbers... I'm the best at scrambled eggs with cucumbers..."

"No, what am I thinking! How can such an important meal be such a simple dish..."

He was talking to himself in the vegetable section, and finally couldn't figure it out so he ravaged his hair with his hands.The aunt who was passing by looked sideways when she saw him like this, and muttered in her mouth, the young man looks good, but it's a pity that he went crazy too early...

Xiaobai struggled happily for more than an hour, and finally bought most of the dishes.Almost all of these dishes he picked were the freshest and most in season, and it was estimated that they would cost him half a month's living expenses.

"Let's buy ribs again and make soup..." Xiao Bai looked at the dishes in the shopping cart while planning the menu for the evening again.His attention was on the shopping cart, and he didn't notice the group of people coming by.

When he looked up again, he found himself surrounded by seven or eight people in the middle of the road.

"Uh...you..." Xiao Bai was a little uneasy, looking around in a panic.

The group of people were almost a head taller than him, looking at him expressionlessly.A familiar figure walked out of the crowd, and that was not the person he wanted to see.

"Little brat, are you shopping in the supermarket?" The man's name is Qing Shan, he is the right-hand man of the Eighth Master, and he has been here to lead people to pay for it during this period of time.

He walked up to Xiaobai's shopping cart, and leisurely reached out to flip through the vegetables inside. "You're eating well." Xiaobai looked at him without saying a word, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his palms began to sweat.

"But don't be so busy eating by yourself, it's time to honor us this month." He leaned closer to Xiaobai and said in a strange way.

"Why... why did I give you money?" Xiao Bai didn't shy away from his gaze, and stared back fiercely.

Qing Shan was stunned for a moment, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Since you don't eat the toast." He stopped looking at Xiaobai, turned to the brothers and said, "Then don't blame us for forcing you to eat shit."
