you rely on me to like you

Chi Xu pulled the suitcase and came to the door of the dormitory, a little hesitant.

Ke Luo lives upstairs, he can't go up!

But one kilometer away, there was Zhong Haochen again, he couldn't go back!

For a while, Chi Xu finally understood what a "dilemma" is!

At this time, Zhong Xicheng was standing at the door of the dormitory, wearing slippers and a thick coat, holding his mobile phone, as if he was waiting for something.

"Chi Xu? Why are you here?" Zhong Xicheng saw Chi Xu from a long distance, went up to meet him, and looked at the suitcase next to him:

"This... what's the situation?"

"Are you...running away from home?" Zhong Xicheng wondered, his tone full of gloating:

"Okay, Xiaochi Xu."

"Uh...I..." Chi Xu was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"By the way, didn't you live at your uncle's house? Did you really run away from home?" Zhong Xicheng was a little surprised to see that Chi Xu rarely refuted.

"Hmm...that..." Chi Xu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a good excuse, so he asked instead:

"Why are you out so late at night?"

"Oh...my brother said to deliver something to me, but I've been waiting for ten minutes, and he still hasn't come." Zhong Xicheng's gaze skipped Chi Xu, and looked in the direction of the campus gate.

"Oh... that... I'm leaving first." Chi Xu glanced at the dormitory upstairs, and finally decided to go out and stay in the hotel first.

"Hey wait, where are you going?" Zhong Xicheng stopped Chi Xu:

"You are... not right! What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just..."

"Argued with your uncle?"

Chi Xu: "..."

"Ambition!" Zhong Xicheng gave a thumbs up.

He had heard before that Chi Xu was caught drinking by his uncle on the spot at the bar.

Chi Xu: "..."

"Ding dong~"

Zhong Xicheng's WeChat phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was his brother's.Said that something happened temporarily and couldn't come.

"My brother is really a busy man." Zhong Xicheng shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, this is my brother, otherwise he would have scolded the person who released the pigeons to death.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, my brother won't be here temporarily." Zhong Xicheng put the phone in his coat pocket:

"If you don't go back to the dormitory, why don't you live with my brother for a while? I'll just talk to my brother. My brother is very nice and will definitely take you in."

Zhong Xicheng had heard about Ke Luo's affairs more or less.

"No, I'm too embarrassed to trouble your brother. I'd better go out and stay in a hotel." Chi Xu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

He didn't want to trouble his classmate's brother because of his own affairs.

"Stay in a hotel?" Zhong Xicheng was taken aback!As if thinking of something, he quickly opened his mouth:

"Then I'll go with you. My brother has a hotel VIP card and can get a discount."

"That's so embarrassing." Chi Xu refused.

What's more, what are you doing together?

"Hey... what's the matter? We're good friends, why not save money if we can?" Zhong Xicheng put his hand on Chi Xu's shoulder, pulled his suitcase with one hand, and induced Chi Xu to walk outside the school.

"But……"

"It's nothing but just listen to me."

After the backs of the two gradually disappeared, a person walked out from the corner of the bamboo forest.

Looking in the direction of the campus gate in a daze, Zhong Haochen felt more at ease in his heart.

When Chi Xu got in the taxi at first, he was worried about where the little guy was going.

His home is only one kilometer away from University A. If Chi Xu made up his mind to go back to the school dormitory, he would never choose to take a taxi.

But apart from the school dormitory, he didn't know where Chi Xu would go.

In desperation, he had no choice but to make an excuse to deliver something, and let Zhong Xicheng wait downstairs in the dormitory with the mentality of trying it out.

Fortunately, Chi Xu is back.

"Ding ~"

Zhong Xicheng's WeChat.

"Brother, borrow your hotel VIP card."

Zhong Haochen quickly replied: "Yes."

Zhong Xicheng, who was checking in in the hotel lobby, was taken aback.

When did his brother reply to his message so quickly?

Without much thought, Zhong Xicheng and Chi Xu opened a standard room.

Lying on an unfamiliar bed in the hotel, Chi Xu was in a mess.

Too many things really happened tonight, first it was Ke Luo, then it was Zhong Haochen.

No matter which one, he was caught off guard.

"Chi Xu, are you asleep?"

"No." Only then did Chi Xu remember that there was a classmate lying on the bed next to him.

"By the way, why are you staying with me in the hotel?"

"Hey... let's go together as a classmate, I can leave you alone with nowhere to go?"

"Tell the truth!" Chi Xu didn't believe Zhong Xicheng was so kind.

"Then what... give me your cousin's contact information!"

Chi Xu: "..."

I knew Zhong Xicheng wouldn't be so kind all of a sudden!

This kid hasn't stopped since he posted about the circle of friends with his cousin a few days ago.

"Ding ~"

Wechat message on Chi Xu's mobile phone.

Qing Mu: "Chi Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. About whether Brother Haochen likes someone before... Did you ask for me?"

When Chi Xu saw the message, he let out a long sigh.

Especially headache!

How would he answer Qing Mu's question?

Tell her, in fact, the person Zhong Haochen likes is himself?

Tell her that the man she asked for help turned out to be a love rival?

Uh... wait... a rival in love?

Why does this word feel weird?

Ah bah... what rival in love?

He is not Qing Mu's rival in love!

So, by accident, Chi Xu replied:

"Uncle, he has no one he likes."

……

A house alone, a little lonely.

This is Zhong Haochen's feeling on the first night when Chi Xu is not at home.

He never knew that the home with Chi Xu was so calm and steady.

I couldn't help but come to Chi Xu's room, there was nothing but the quilt scattered on the bed in a mess.

As if thinking of something, Zhong Haochen walked out suddenly.

After a while, put a small toy on the bed, and fold the sheets neatly.

Looking at the lonely lamb doll, Zhong Haochen walked out of the room again, closed the door, and locked it.

Zhong Haochen, who was lying on the bed, picked up his mobile phone from time to time, but he didn't know what he was looking at or waiting for.

I looked through the chat records with Chi Xu countless times, typed a few words over and over again, but deleted them over and over again.

Early the next morning, Zhong Haochen came to the company staring at the dark circles under his eyes for the first time.

In Zhong Haochen's office.

"Leader, did you...last night...the exercise was too intense?" Shao Yang raised his eyebrows.

Because he has a good relationship with Zhong Haochen in private, he dared to make jokes unscrupulously.

However, the other party was not as relaxed and comfortable as he expected. It was completely different from the smiling Zhong Haochen in the elevator yesterday, who seemed to have a beautiful life waiting for him.

"What's wrong?" Shaoyang subconsciously suppressed his smile.

Zhong Haochen glanced at Shaoyang indifferently, and handed back the confirmed information to him without saying a word.

"OK!" Shaoyang Zhiqu gestured to shut up, and left the office with the documents.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Zhong Haochen thought it was Shaoyang, but he didn't expect that the person who pushed the door and entered was Qing Mu.

"Brother Haochen, good morning." Qing Mu wore a light green casual suit with a white hip-covering miniskirt today, showing off her professional charm.

"Qing Mu?"

"I'm here today because of business." Qing Mu showed his face before Zhong Haochen opened his mouth to chase him away.

"Business?" Zhong Haochen was taken aback.

How could he not know that there was still business with Qing Mu.

Qing Mu didn't hesitate, took out a contract from her bag and put it on the desk:

"I am the representative of Party A."

Zhong Haochen: "..."

Picking up the contract, Zhong Haochen shook his head helplessly.

It turned out that Qing Mu turned out to be the representative of a company he recently cooperated with.

Really unexpected.

"In the contract, it's the requirements that we communicated before, and the rules and regulations are clearly written. Do you want Zhonggong to confirm it again?" Qing Mu sat down opposite Zhong Haochen, looking business-like.

This kind of Qing Mu has never been seen by Zhong Haochen.

Elegant and beautiful and calm.

"Well, I will check it again myself. If there is a problem, should I contact you, or the former President Kang?" Zhong Haochen raised his eyes to look at Qing Mu, and focused on the contract.

"Just contact me." Qing Mu's smile froze.

Could it be that today's dress can't catch Zhong Haochen's eyes?

Recalling last night, she sent a message to Chi Xu and learned that Zhong Haochen didn't like anyone.

The news made her angry and want to laugh.

What makes him angry is that Zhong Haochen rejected him with such a lame reason.

But thinking that Zhong Haochen had no one he liked, she would have the opportunity to be with Zhong Haochen, and couldn't help laughing.

Therefore, Qing Mu, who had been striving to be the representative of this cooperation, had to secretly deliver a cup of coffee with ingredients before Mr. Kang left the company this morning, so as to replace him and get the opportunity to cooperate with Zhong Haochen this time.

It's just...why does Zhong Haochen always look so alienated towards him?

"No problem." Zhong Haochen closed the contract:

"It's just that, as agreed before, it seems that we will go to your company to sign the contract in a few days."

It was the first time that Party A came to sign the contract on his own initiative.

"Well... isn't this... anxious!" Qing Mu smiled slightly.

As for whether it was because the contract progress was in a hurry, or she was in a hurry, it is not known.

Zhong Haochen heard the word "anxiety", looked at the completion time limit on the contract, lowered his head and did not speak.

He knew that what was anxious might not be the contract itself at all.

"Brother Haochen, are you free to have lunch together?"

"sorry, we do not have that."

"But...my friend's company is looking for online operation software recently, and I recommend your company."

"I can recommend a reliable product manager, who will explain our company's existing products in detail. If other functions need to be developed later, the product manager will contact me directly."

Qing Mu: "..."

"dong dong dong~"

There was a knock on the door.

The one who came in was Zhong Haochen's boss.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Qing Mu, the boss ordered Zhong Haochen to entertain Party A's representative well.

No way, who made Qing Mu's company the key target of their project for the coming year.

Otherwise, there is no need for Zhong Haochen to act.

So, when Chi Xu finally had no class in the morning and was dragged by Zhong Xicheng to the pedestrian street to buy clothes, he saw Zhong Haochen eating with Qing Mu in a certain restaurant from a distance.

Coincidentally, Qing Mu was opening a cup of milk tea and putting it in front of Zhong Haochen.

It felt like a girlfriend helping her boyfriend unpack the milk tea, exactly the same!
