Seeing Qi Yu responding, Xu Jing frowned again and said, "Does your father know?"

Qi Yu said in a deep voice, "I know, Dad has seen him too."

Xu Jing soon realized that his actions made Qi Yu emotional, and immediately softened his attitude: "Okay, let's talk first..."

After that, he glanced at Fu Yansheng again, turned around and left with some disappointment.

After sitting down again, Qi Yu also felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, if Xu Jing and his father hadn't "complained", Qi Yu would have been happy to introduce the plural to each other, but because of that incident, Qi Yu had a lump in his heart, afraid that Xu Jing would think too much, so he hid it from the other party.

I didn't expect Xu Jing to run into them here, but it was self-defeating...

Fu Yansheng sized him up and asked in a low voice: "Unhappy?"

Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Still shaking your head?" Fu Yansheng lifted the cup towards him, "I almost got the words 'I'm upset' etched on my face."

The man's gentle tone carried a hint of comfort.

Qi Yu clinked glasses with him, took a sip, and said, "Xu Jing invited me to have dinner tonight..."

"You refused him to come to see me?" Fu Yansheng automatically completed the second half of his sentence and smiled.

Qi Yu let out a "hmm" and specially explained: "Because I made an appointment with you earlier."

When he was in the United States, he had already decided on a meeting date with Fudu, and he didn't want to change it arbitrarily.

"You didn't tell him?" Fu Yansheng slightly moved his eyebrows, "Didn't you say you have a good relationship with him?"

"It's very good." The year-long online chat made Qi Yu used to talking with this person, and he couldn't help confiding, "We have known each other for seven years, and he took good care of me when he was abroad in the early years. Treat it like a brother."

"Brother..." Fu Yansheng murmured meaningfully, and asked, "Since you two have such a good relationship, why didn't your father ask him to accompany you to study? He should be very good to be the CEO of an investment company by himself, right? "

Hearing the word "accompanied by reading", Qi Yu was slightly taken aback, and looked up to see Fu Yansheng with a faint smile on his lips, and looked away unnaturally...

If Dad hadn't brought it up last time, Qi Yu really didn't know that he could find a companion to read.

But let Xu Jing accompany him, he couldn't imagine that Xu Jing had been his father's secretary for several years, how could he condescend to do such a job?

Qi Yu said: "My dad said he wanted to cultivate him, and transferred him back before I went to college."

"Just want to cultivate?" Fu Yansheng smiled and shook his head, "You really don't understand your father."

"I don't understand my dad?" Qi Yu asked with a question mark.

"I met your father once, and I can feel that he attaches great importance to you and protects you. Everything he does is paving the way for you," said Fu Yansheng, who opened a dice box on the small table. He took two out of the box with his index finger and middle finger, and put them on the table to demonstrate for him, "Your father is afraid that Xu Jing will be by your side for too long and will have too much influence on you, so you won't be able to control him in the future, so he specially asked you and He was separated for a while."

Qi Yu frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"You and Xu Jing have known each other for seven years, right? You are twenty this year, that is to say, he appeared by your side when you were 13 years old. Thoughts and actions will greatly affect you, change you, make you rely on and trust him, and even make him treat him as an older brother... But do you still remember that I once discussed with you about making friends? Principle?" Fu Yansheng lightly tapped the two dice with his finger, "I assume that your affection for Xu Jing is based on thanking him for his care and help to you, then in turn, what is his affection for you based on? ? At the age of 13, you can be said to be a kid who doesn't know anything, why is he willing to spend his time on you?"

In fact, Fu Yansheng didn't need to say it, Qi Yu knew it well, it was more because of his father.

Many people around him treat him well because of his father.

But Xu Jing is still different in his heart, he is not an emotionless machine, he can tell the difference between sincerity and hypocrisy, even if Xu Jing treats him well because he is Qi Yuancheng's son, this person has given a lot of patience and dedication sincere.

So after hearing Fu Yansheng's analysis, he was very annoyed: "Xu Jing is not the kind of person who only cares about profit."

"Qi Yu," Fu Yansheng interrupted him calmly, "I'm not trying to provoke your relationship with Xu Jing, I just want you to see clearly where your emotions come from."

Qi Yu choked, and looked at him warily: "Go on."

Fu Yansheng: "I remember you said before that he told your father about my existence, right?"

Qi Yu: "Hmm..."

Fu Yansheng: "Then why do you think he told your father?"

Qi Yu: "Worried about me?"

Fu Yansheng shook his head with a smile: "If he was worried about you, he should have come to see me directly like your father, and let you and me continue to make friends after confirming that I am fine, but he didn't. He used a not very bright Means - sue your father."

Qi Yu: "..."

Fu Yansheng: "This action reveals two points. First, he dare not compete with me head-on; second, he is afraid that people other than him will affect you and take away your trust in him-you know what this is called ?"

Qi Yu: "What?"

Fu Yansheng: "Desire to control."

Qi Yu: "..."

Fu Yansheng put away the dice, looked at Qi Yu and said, "Do you think Xu Jing doesn't know? He may know it very well, but he won't tell you, because he may subconsciously hope that you will be a little boy who will never grow up, so he Seeing you meet me behind his back, he will be disappointed, maybe even jealous and angry, and his emotions will further affect you, because you care about him - if you can't see these clearly, you will be led by him If he finds out that he can tie you down emotionally, he might take advantage of that further."

Qi Yu looked at Fu Yansheng with complicated emotions, and asked, "Is the human heart so dirty in your eyes?"

Fu Yansheng looked at him without flinching: "It's not dirty, it's reality, or human instinct, it's easy for children to believe in pure feelings, the world of adults is so cruel, but even if it's cruel, it doesn't matter." It hinders you from continuing to trust Xu Jing—if you see all this clearly and still feel that he is worth entrusting."

Qi Yu's hands tightened and loosened under the table, as if trying to accept these so-called realities.

"Compared with you, your father is much more sober," Fu Yansheng said with a smile, "Do you know why your father was willing to invite me to accompany you to read when he saw me last time?"

Qi Yu: "Why?"

Fu Yansheng: "Just like the emperors in ancient times chose ministers for their successors, your father never wants Xu Jing to be the only person who can influence you. My presence will more or less create checks and balances for Xu Jing, preventing him from becoming your unique one." .Moreover, I have also expressed my own principles and attitudes to your father - I am not willing to stay by your side because of his wealth."

Qi Yuxin said, isn't this Fu Yansheng's words?

Anyway, it's a business chat with 8 yuan a session. Since Fu Yansheng understands his father's thoughts so well, why don't he talk about what his father likes to hear?

He won't believe it easily.

Relatively speaking, Qi Yu is more willing to accept what his father once said - "He is not thinking about your present, he is thinking about your future."

As if to express his own doubts, he asked Fu Yansheng back: "Then you are not also influencing me by teaching me? Are you also giving me benefits? What is the difference between you and Xu Jingbi like this?"

Fu Yansheng smiled, "One thing, I may be different from him," the man looked into his eyes, and said to him slowly and lowly, "I don't want you to be a child, I hope you grow up quickly."

Qi Yu: "..."

***

Qi Yu and Fu Yansheng chatted on Skyline for three hours, after which Fu Yansheng hailed a car and took him back to the hotel before leaving.

It was already twelve o'clock at night.

Qi Yu took a shower and was still sleepy, so he sat in the air-conditioned room and looked through the past chat records between him and Fushu.

From the moment he separated from Fu Yansheng until now, his mind is still full of the other party's meaningful sentence "I hope you grow up soon"...

At that moment, Qi Yu felt a fire ignited in his body, from the soles of his feet all the way to his hair.

He recalled Fu Yansheng's self-confidence that everything was under control when he spoke, and his sometimes joking and sometimes serious tone.

If this person is simply "plural", Qi Yu will definitely admire him, admire him very much, and regard him as his teacher in a true sense.

But what is terrible now is that the other party is not only "plural", but also the man who kissed him a year ago.

Qi Yu found that when he put these two people together, the boundary between them suddenly became blurred.

The jokes they used to make on WeChat, the emojis they sent, and their daily life together were all tinged with ambiguity.

Qi Yu sat there, and thought about it calmly, is there any possibility that Fu Yansheng knew who he was from the beginning?

...After all, if the other party doesn't want him to find out, he is actually fully capable of doing so.

But if Fu Yansheng knew, why did he do this?

During the three hours tonight, Qi Yu didn't see any intentionality from the man, as if the other party just sat there and chatted with him for so long just to satisfy his curiosity.

Including those friends-making theories that I talked about later, it is also to explain him and give him advice.

On the other hand, applying this theory to look at the relationship between him and Fu Yansheng, now they have everything they want from each other, and the other party has never expressed other demands except for the sentence "I hope you grow up".

But the question is, in Fu Yansheng's eyes, how does he grow up?

While in a trance, the phone vibrated.

Qi Yu clicked on WeChat, and saw that it was a message from Fu Yansheng.

F1S: "I'm home, go to bed early, good night."

Qi Yu wrote and deleted in the input box for a while, and finally only sent "good night".

In the afternoon of the next day, Qi Yu took the time to go back home again, found the business card that he had kept in the drawer for more than a year, and confirmed once again that they were the same person.

Went to knock on Qi Feng's door, but there was no response, Qi Yu went downstairs and asked Jiang Ying: "Mom, where is Xiao Feng?"

"He and Ling Ke went to Disney." Jiang Ying sat on the sofa and read the press release.

"He and Ling Ke are going to Disney on such a hot day?" Qi Yu frowned, "How can he be so fussy?"

"I'm going to take Ling Ke to the TV station for an internship in two days. He might want to take advantage of these few days to play with Ling Ke." Jiang Ying looked up at him, "What's the matter? Do you have something important to ask him?"

Qi Yu said vaguely: "It's nothing special, I'll give him a call."

After speaking, he went upstairs again and entered his room before dialing Qi Feng's number.

"——Hello!?" Qi Feng quickly picked it up, but it might be because he was in the crowd, and the background sound was very noisy, "Brother? What are you doing?"

"I have something to ask you," Qi Yu said after deliberating for a while, "Last year, in April...maybe in May, did anyone contact you?"

"What? Last April? Many people contacted me! Who are you asking?" Qi Feng wondered.

"A man, surnamed Fu." Qi Yu said in a deep voice.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly!" Qi Feng yelled loudly, "—Ling Ke, I'm so thirsty!"

"I said, did a man surnamed Fu contact you around the end of April last year!? Add you on WeChat or something!?" Qi Yu raised his voice.

"Oh..." There was a pause for a while, "I don't think there is one? I don't remember this person, and it's been so long, who remembers..."

Qi Yu: "..."

Qi Feng: "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, it's okay, you can play..." Qi Yu paused, "Drink more water, be careful not to get heatstroke."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yu felt a little relieved.

After all, Fu Yansheng was just asking for a phone number for someone else, maybe... he didn't take it seriously at all...?

***

Back at the hotel at night, I ran into Meng Wenhui who I hadn't seen for two days.

There are no language barriers in the country, and there is no need to worry about money. Qi Yu thought Meng Wenhui would have a good time, but he didn't expect the young man to complain when he saw him: "Oh my mother! Qi Yu, Haicheng is too hot! I I couldn’t bear it after going out for a day of shopping yesterday, but it’s still comfortable in the hotel!”

Qi Yu: "Then you can stay in the hotel."

Meng Wenhui said anxiously: "That won't work! What's the difference between staying in a hotel and being locked up at home by my dad! I finally escaped, so you can play with me more, otherwise I will be bored after staying in the hotel for the past two months." bird!"

Qi Yu was speechless: "I'm going to work next Monday, so I don't have time to play with you."

"Go to work?" Meng Wenhui excitedly bent his arms when he heard this, showing off his huge muscles, "Do you want me to accompany you? I will protect you!"

Qi Yu: "..."

Qi Yu had a headache and said, "When I go to the company, I guess I just sit in the office and read financial reports and documents. What do you need to protect me? Protect me from being bitten by mosquitoes?"

Meng Wenhui put down his hands in frustration: "Hey! Then I'm so bored!"

Qi Yu was about to say something when his phone vibrated suddenly, and he couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the caller ID.

"Si Hang?" Qi Yu answered the phone and called out the other party's name.

"Hello? Qi Yu? Haha, I heard you've returned to China?" Si Hang's cynical voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who did you listen to?" Qi Yu hooked his lips with a half-smile, and had already changed his tone.

"My dad, who else is there!" Sihang said with a smile on the other end, "Dude, it's my home game now, are you free tomorrow? Come here and I'll wash you off!"

Qi Yu glanced at Meng Wenhui, who was hanging his head beside him, and with a flash of inspiration, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, but can I bring friends?"

"What friend?" Si Hang asked.

"Friends from the United States, Chinese," Qi Yu also emphasized, "Brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants."

"No problem, since we're all my brothers, let's bring the excitement together!" Sihang said enthusiastically, "I'll send you the address on WeChat, see you tomorrow night!"

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yu hooked his fingers towards Meng Wenhui.

Meng Wenhui felt something was wrong when he saw his eyes, and immediately came up to him: "What's the matter?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "I'll take you to play tomorrow! I know a few friends from Haicheng, and I'll keep you in the next two months."

Meng Wenhui's eyes lit up: "Is there such a good thing?"

"But..." Qi Yu pretended to be embarrassed, "My friends are a bit snobby, and they like to form cliques when they do things. We came back from abroad, I'm afraid..."

Meng Wenhui immediately understood what he meant, raised his eyebrows and said: "What are you afraid of? Bring the two brothers who came with us tomorrow, and give them their respective identities. Are you afraid of being looked down upon?"

Qi Yu patted his arm: "Then I will leave this matter to you?"

Meng Wenhui puffed up his chest and said, "Don't worry, we must not lose to our overseas party!"
