rebirth of not following the old path

Chapter 9

For the next two consecutive days, Shang Ru specially went to school to bring Joyce out to play.

"What, you said you were going abroad?" Joyce asked Shangru unhappily.

"Well, maybe I won't be able to accompany you for a short time." Shangru looked at the child's pouting mouth and rubbed his head to comfort him.

Joyce seemed to think of something suddenly, and said happily, "I'm going abroad too, maybe we can take the same plane."

Sure enough, it was a child, Shang Ru said, "I am going to England, where are you going?"

"Me too!"

"London, England?"

"Ok!"

"Leave at noon tomorrow?"

"Yes!!!" The child's eyes began to light up.

"......"

That afternoon, when Shangru handed the child to Mr. Qiao, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Mr. Qiao, I heard from Joyce that you are going to England tomorrow?"

"Yes, why, you too?" Teacher Qiao asked the drowsy Joyce.

"Well, and we're probably on the same flight"

"What a coincidence? Flight 855 at noon?" Teacher Qiao was also surprised.

"That's right." Shangru also thought it was too coincidental.

"Are you going to relax after the exam?" Teacher Qiao asked Shang Ru, and motioned him to come in with her.

"No, it's my brother who is studying there, and I'll spend Christmas with him, how about you?"

"My guy works there, and I went to spend the holidays with him too," Mr. Qiao said while looking for something.

"Have you and your wife been living apart?"

"My wife and I have been married for more than half a year, and only started to teach this year, and he will come back to work next year." Passing the things in his hand to Shang Ru, Teacher Qiao said, "Here, here is a box for you."

Shangru took it over, it was a box of handmade chocolates, and the left and right were not valuables, so he accepted it without refusing.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiao, then we will see you tomorrow."

"Well, I'll pick you up tomorrow, let's go there together."

"Okay, I'll send the address to your phone later."

"Okay, stay safe."

The next day, Shangru stood at the gate of his own community early and waited for Teacher Qiao and Joyce.

"Didi" a black Volkswagen stopped in front of him.

"I can't tell, Xiaoshang, this is where my family lives." Teacher Qiao said, looking at the military compound behind Shangru, which he had visited once.

After the car window was rolled down, Shangru didn't recognize the person in front of him: "Qiao...Mr. Qiao?"

"What's the matter, don't you know?"

Shang Ru looked at the beautiful man in front of him, and couldn't see him as the same person as the bearded man he met for the first time.The man in front of him has thin lips, raised eye corners, thin cheeks, and his facial contours are not obvious. He is a typical feminine oriental beauty.

"No, it's just that I don't dare to admit it anymore." Shangru rubbed his nose and replied with some embarrassment.

"Okay, let's get in the car." Seeing Shang Ru's shy look, Teacher Qiao stopped teasing him.

"Mmm, good." Shang Ru put the luggage in the trunk, and sat in the back seat with Joyce.

"Xiao Shang!" Joyce squirmed excitedly in the back seat, "Get in the car!"

"I'm coming"

"Xiao Shang, my daddy is handsome." Joyce whispered proudly.

"Hmm handsome, very different from before."

"Of course, because I'm going to see my father!"

"...! Dad?!" Shangru felt that his brain capacity was not enough.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I have two fathers."

"Huh? Two dads?"

"My daddy told me that I don't have a mommy since I was born, now my daddy and my daddy are very loving..." Joyce's voice was very small, but she was still heard by Teacher Qiao in the closed car.

"Why, Xiao Shang, can't you accept homosexuality?"

"Ah no, no, I just didn't think of it," Shangru quickly explained.

Teacher Qiao smiled and said: "It's nothing, most people in China can't accept it"

"I'm serious!" Shangru said hastily, "I also don't think gender is important, what matters is the person."

"Haha, that's a good idea." Teacher Qiao grinned, without any self-consciousness about being a beauty.

Seeing the two chatting and ignoring herself, Joyce patted Shangru's arm.

"Xiao Shang, let me tell you, I secretly brought a piece of chocolate, it's delicious." After finishing speaking, Joyce quietly took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, insisting on giving it to Shangru.

Shangru looked at it and found that it was the brand he ate yesterday, so he said, "Yesterday your father gave me a box."

Sure enough, the child got angry when he heard it, but he didn't dare to disturb the adults who were driving, so he whispered: "Then you have to let me eat the chocolate!"

"Why?" Shangru asked amusedly.

"Because I am your Brother Chang!"

"But... I didn't bring it here." Shangru deliberately teased him.

The child thought for a while, resting his chin, and asked him, "Then did you bring any money?"

Shangru was a little puzzled: "I brought it, what's the matter?"

"That's good. When you get to London, you can buy it for me." The child said proudly, "I know where that store is!"

"OK"

Teacher Qiao looked at the two people in the back seat muttering, with smiles in the corners of their eyes.

After more than ten hours of flying, Shangru finally arrived at his destination, but he didn't know until he got out of the airport that it was not the most coincidental to be on the same plane.

The three of them stood in front of Pan's driver, looking at the sign in his hand that said "Shangru, Qiao Xiaojing, Pan Chang".

"Mr. Qiao, is Qiao Xiaojing your name?"

"I won't be called by this name after I'm 30." Teacher Qiao seemed to be gnashing her teeth.

"Then the three of us are traveling together?" Shangru received a call from Pan Haoqian just after asking. He motioned to Mr. Qiao, and then went to a quieter place to answer the phone.

"Shang Shang, are you here?"

"Well, I've found the person who picked me up." Shangru asked suspiciously, "Who is that Teacher Qiao, Qiao Xiaojing?"

"He's my brother's lover."

"Then Joyce is our nephew?" Shangru asked in surprise.

"It's true to say this in terms of blood relationship." Pan Haoqian was very satisfied with Shangru's use of the word "we".

"Then you already knew, when you made the phone call."

"Yes, it's just that I wanted to talk to you at the time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it clear on the phone."

Shangru said helplessly, "Aren't you also on the phone now?"

"But you already guessed it when you saw the pick-up sign, didn't you?" Pan Haoqian thought that he would see Shangru in a while, and said in a good mood: "After all, you are already mentally prepared."

"..."

"What? You blame me for not telling you first?"

"No, I just think the 'six-dimensional space theory' is quite correct"

"Stanley (the author of the six-dimensional space theory) is indeed very intelligent"

"...Okay, let's not talk about it, they are all waiting for me." Shangru looked back, saw Teacher Qiao and the others waved at him, signaling him not to worry.

"Okay, I can't wait."

Shang Ru's face turned red again.

"Let's go, Xiao Shang." Teacher Qiao's face was not very good-looking.

Shangru secretly asked Joyce: "What happened to Mr. Qiao?"

"Do you know why everyone in China calls my dad Mr. Qiao? Because my dad thinks that a 32-year-old's name should not be too childish, so he doesn't like to introduce his name to others." Joyce gloated and said, "But I Dad typed his Chinese name on the pick-up board."

"So he's angry?"

"I think it is."

"...Then what to do?"

"Leave it to my dad."

Shangru couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when we came to Pan Haoqiong's apartment. Shangru looked at the surrounding environment, and he didn't expect such a quiet apartment in such a bustling area.

"You are back, welcome home." Pan Haoqiong went out in a neat suit to welcome the three of them.

"I don't want to talk to you." Teacher Qiao didn't even look at Pan Haoqiong.

"Father, I don't think you should casually tell others Daddy's name." After speaking, Joyce walked straight past Pan Haoqiong.

Among the three "big brothers", only Shangru greeted him honestly.

"Well, not bad." Pan Haoqiong looked Shangru up and down, and continued: "Joe already knows about your relationship with us, and he will treat you as his own brother."

Shangru is a little embarrassed, he is the only co-author who doesn't know anything.

When Shangru walked in, Joyce dragged him around the room.

"Look, this is the father's bedroom. Don't come in here casually. It's dangerous." Joyce said with a serious face.

"Dangerous?" Shangru was puzzled.

"They have to stay for a long time when they go in during the day, and they still won't let me in. After they come out, daddy won't be able to hug me, so you must not go in!" Joyce emphasized again.

As an adult, Shangru has already made up a big drama in his mind, he blushed and said with a smile: "Okay, I see."

"And this is my room" Joyce's room is full of toys.

"The upper floor is also ours. There are two bedrooms and a gym!"

"So amazing!" Shang Ru was very appreciative.

"Xiao Shang, you can live in the upstairs guest room these days, it's already packed." Pan Haoqiong said to Shang Ru.

"Okay, thank you brother."

"Thank you, thank you, this is what he should do." Teacher Qiao was still in an unhappy mood.

"Okay, you go and clean up." Pan Haoqiong waved to Shangru, and walked to the side of his lover who was still angry, "Dear Joe, don't be angry. I..."

Hearing what Pan Haoqiong said, Shangru couldn't help thinking: Love really changes people.

"Come on, let's go upstairs!" Joyce helped Shangru carry the computer upstairs.

"Here it is, next to it is my second uncle's room."

"Well, thank you Changchang!" Shangru was a little tired after running around for so long, squatted down and hugged Joyce lightly, and lay down on the bed with all his clothes, planning to rest for a while.

After being hugged by Shangru, Joyce was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "You should call me Brother Chang." But not only did he not disturb Shangru, but he also covered him with the quilt and closed the door.

Hearing the child go downstairs lightly, Shang Ru slowly opened his eyes, thinking of this cute child, Shang Ru smiled.It's just why Brother Pan didn't have such a teacher Qiao in his previous life.

According to Joyce, they got married half a year ago. What happened in that year?

Half a year ago in my last life, when I was about to graduate from college, Pan Haoqian got engaged to his marriage partner, Meng Lili. In a fit of anger, I found someone to tie her up, and let the thugs take her turn.

At that time, things were very troublesome, and the eldest son of the Pan family, who seldom showed up, also came back from England. After returning, he traveled around for the Pan family, just to protect himself.

Perhaps, at that time, the eldest brother wanted to introduce Mr. Qiao to his family, but he was delayed by himself.

But why didn't Meng Lili show up this time? What Shangru didn't know was that Pan Haoqian did meet Meng Lili, but he clearly refused to have further development with her.

When Shangru thought of Pan Haoqiong and Teacher Qiao who were separated because of him in his previous life, he felt very guilty. He got up and went downstairs, planning to find something to do.

After going downstairs, I saw Joyce eating biscuits and playing games. Shang Ru took away the little biscuits left in his hand and said, "Don't eat so much junk food, I'll have dinner later."

Joyce curled her lips, this action is very similar to Pan Haogan when she was a child, Shangru rubbed Joyce's curly hair, and said, "I'll get you a glass of milk."

"Well, the milk is in the fridge in the kitchen"

As soon as Shang Ru walked to the door of the kitchen, he saw a scene that was not suitable for children.

The author has something to say:
