you may never have loved me

It was nearly eight o'clock, and Qu Lingxi got up and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Sure enough, the housekeeping aunt prepared toast, coffee and oatmeal yogurt.He got up a bit late, and Qu's father and Qu's mother had met for a morning run an hour ago and hadn't come back yet.

Qu Ling happened to have finished his meal. Seeing Qu Lingxi come down, he said hello and was ready to go to the company with his bag.

Qu Lingxi was overwhelmed and buried herself in the toast.

Qu Ling gracefully wiped her hands with a wet towel and said, "I'm leaving."

"Let's go." Qu Lingxi didn't care.

Qu Ling paused for a moment, looked at Qu Lingxi with complicated eyes, and uttered a voice that had never been understood: "To be honest, what do you think, why don't you go home after graduation?"

Qu Lingxi raised her eyes and said, "I thought you would understand."

Qu Ling said, "What do you understand?"

"It's refreshing to live alone." Qu Lingxi said with a smile, "No one cares about what you do, and you can wake up whenever you want on rest days."

Qu Ling said: "Okay. But it's hard to go home, this time to spend more time with my parents. They really miss you."

Qu Lingxi nodded repeatedly.

Qu Ling picked up the car keys on the dining table, and suddenly said: "However, renting a house is really embarrassing. When I told it, I thought our Qu family couldn't afford the house for our youngest son. If you really like living alone, it doesn't matter, I will Let the accountant transfer some money to your account, where you want to buy it, and what price you want to buy, it’s all up to you.”

Qu Lingxi's throat was stuck by Qu Ling's words.

He wiped the bread crumbs from the corner of his mouth, took a sip of coffee slowly, and said, "Can't I buy it myself?"

"You?" Qu Ling raised his eyebrows, not intending to ridicule, but couldn't help laughing, "You just graduated, what do you rely on to buy?"

"So." Qu Lingxi softened her tone, "I can only rent a house at my current level. Let's talk about buying a house when I have the ability."

Qu Ling doesn't like her younger brother's words like this. In her heart, family comes first, and their family is tightly bound together. Of course, Qu Lingxi can let Qu Lingxi spend their money.

But Qu Lingxi didn't seem to think so.

"It's up to you." Qu Ling frowned, "Do you have any plans today? Or stay at home for a day to heal your emotional wounds?"

"No." Qu Lingxi thought for a while, "It's easier to think too much at home, I'm going to go outside and take a look."

"Really?" Qu Ling said casually, "Then there is a cat cafe nearby that just opened, and it looks pretty good. You can go and have a look."

I don't know if Qu Lingxi listened, she just nodded silently and stopped talking.

After Qu Ling left, Qu Lingxi became even more bored.He first lay on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. After watching it for a while, he felt that the latest drama was really boring, so he found an online novel to read.

But every time I read it, I tend to think of my only love experience, and I get distracted after reading a few pages.

In desperation, Qu Lingxi had no choice but to waste time wandering around.

Before leaving, the housekeeping aunt suddenly stopped him, gave him an umbrella, and said with concern: "Master, it might rain later."

Qu Lingxi was stunned by this young master's words.

There are many reasons why he doesn't want to live at home, one of which is that since a few years ago, the housekeepers he hired like to call him Young Master and Miss Qu Ling.

This is not the 30s, this kind of name is really old-fashioned and awkward.

Qu Ling accepted it well, but he couldn't accept it.

Qu Lingxi nodded stiffly, took the umbrella and walked to the backyard.The small garden of Qu’s family is beautifully maintained by the gardener. Different flowers bloom in the garden every year. Some flowers withered, while others bloomed brilliantly.

Scattered into mud, flowers bloom undefeated.

Ah Huang's age is really a bit old. Hearing the engine sound of Qu Ling's sports car yesterday, he didn't come out to greet him with crazy screams.Today it was lying lazily in the kennel, and when Qu Lingxi came out, it whimpered softly, its wet eyes aroused sympathy.

Qu Lingxi walked to the kennel and squatted down, some withered grass roots stuck to the soles of her shoes.

He gently patted Ah Huang's head, glanced at the dog leash that was holding it, and teased it, "I wanted to take you out for a stroll. Unfortunately, everyone said it was raining, so I still didn't take you." alright."

Ah Huang obediently rubbed against Qu Lingxi's palm, and tried to lick his master with his tongue.

Qu Lingxi quickly withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise it would be like last time, it would all be your saliva."

Ah Huang had already stood up, but then fell down dejectedly.

"Okay." Qu Ling waved to him with a smile, "I'm leaving."

High-end villa areas are generally built somewhat remote.Qu Lingxi is familiar with every plant and tree here, and knows that there is nothing to relax.

After walking for a long time, a new pedestrian street was built, which he had never seen before.

The third house from the left is spacious and transparent. After a look, Qu Lingxi found that it was the cat cafe that Qu Ling was talking about.Unfortunately, Qu Ling has never raised a cat, and there is only Ah Huang at home. As a dog owner, he doesn't have much feeling for other cats.

Probably because he was too bored, Qu Ling walked into this cat cafe for the first time.

As soon as he got closer, he could hear "meowing" coming from all directions. Even people like Qu Lingxi, who had no feelings for cats, gradually became cute.

This shop has two floors. The first floor is mostly a cat-walking sanctuary, with a coffee shop as the center. There are cat stands in the corner, and there are soft sofas and pillows behind the bar.

The wall paint is grey-blue. Laying this cool color in a large area will make people feel a little quiet and gloomy. Fortunately, there are these cute little creatures to neutralize this atmosphere.

Many customers sit and drink coffee, and some friends sit and read books together.

Feeling puzzled, Qu Lingxi walked up the stairs and turned to the second floor, only to find that the design of this cat cafe is really ingenious.The second floor has a hidden cave, which is a bookstore.

He approached and randomly looked at two rows, and the one he saw turned out to be a comic book.

Qu Lingxi took out a book and opened it, and the humorous Q prints appeared in front of him, which made him laugh.

At this time, a strange voice came from behind.

"Curling pity."

The voice was clear and gentle, but he was sure he hadn't heard it before.

Qu Lingxi turned around to look at the man who called him. This was a man he had only met once, and he saw him on his mobile phone.The other party came out of the photo abruptly, which was really unscientific. This made him slightly distracted, and he didn't react quickly.

He looked at Qu Lingxi with gentle eyes, not like meeting for the first time, more like an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

The man was wearing a thin gray sweater, and his hair was soft and fluffy.The real person is slightly taller than Qu Lingxi, about 1.8 meters.

"Is it Qu Lingxi? Hello, I'm Guan Yu." Seeing that Qu Lingxi didn't respond, he smiled and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

Qu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and shook hands with the other party out of politeness and instinct.

"……You are?"

Guan Yu didn't mind, and introduced herself softly: "Guan Yu. Didn't your sister mention it to you?"

Qu Lingxi shook her head, "But she showed me the photos yesterday."

"Really?" Guan Yu smiled and said, "She is different from what I said. Qu Ling told me that you will come to Maoca to find me. Let me change into better clothes."

Qu Lingxi was still stunned by the sudden blind date scene, and she never regained her composure.After a while, he stammered and said, "You look good, and you look good in anything you wear."

Guan Yu looked at him in surprise.

Qu Lingxi: "..."

He explained sincerely: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. It's just a fact."

"I didn't misunderstand." Guan Yu suggested, "How about we sit down and have a drink?"

"Okay." Qu Lingxi nodded.

There was no place to sit on the second floor, so he followed Guan Yu down the steps with a book in his hand.

Guan Yu glanced at the title of the book in Qu Lingxi's hand, and said with emotion: "You actually like reading this."

Qu Lingxi thought that Guan Yu was saying that he was naive, so he couldn't believe it and said, "Isn't it? I took a second look and thought it's pretty good-looking, with a dark sense of humor."

Guan Yu looked at him strangely, and suddenly laughed, "Of course."

They found a corner seat and sat down.

Guan Yu bent down, hooked it lightly with his fingers, and a pet cat walked over with its tail on the ground, meowed softly, and rubbed against Guan Yu's arm, with a very affectionate attitude.

Qu Lingxi: "..."

This intimacy is even higher than that between him and Ah Huang.

"Do you come to this store often?" he asked.

Guan Yu nodded: "It's okay, not too often. Two or three times a week, I still have a serious job."

Qu Ling said with pity, two or three times a week is not too frequent.Did Guan Yu misunderstand the word frequent?How can there be a working party who comes here to pet cats?

Qu Lingxi muttered: "Then you might as well raise a cat at home."

"I've raised it." Guan Yu thought of the beloved pet at home, and his eyes were full of affection, not like looking at others. Although gentle, but mainly polite, "A puppet, very delicate, I occasionally look at other kittens. Better, it likes to be jealous."

Qu Lingxi was already very shocked.

Maybe he has never kept a pet himself, even rhubarb is occasionally favored, and most of the time he throws it to his aunts and parents at home.

So he can't understand this kind of cat-loving shit-shoveling officer.

Guan Yu called out twice intimately, "Xiao Ruan."

This is the British shorthair cat, and it's excited to act like a baby to him.

Guan Yu looked up at Qu Lingxi, "What kind of cat do you like?"

"Me?" Qu Lingxi said, "I'm not particularly interested in this."

"Really?" Guan Yu was obviously disappointed, but he didn't show it. He just scooped up Xiaoruan and put it in Qu Lingxi's terrified expression, "Hug it."

Qu Lingxi was stiff all over, especially afraid that the cat's paw would suddenly scratch him.

Guan Yu comforted Xiao Ruan while smiling, soothing his vigilance and anxiety in the arms of a stranger, "Don't be afraid of it, it is very obedient, and it is the most peaceful cat here. The one in my family is the real madcat .”

Fortunately, the little soft cat, as its name suggests, is really well-behaved.

Qu Lingxi's fear of being gradually appeased by reality, he tried to caress Xiaoruan's back.Not long after, Xiao Ruan was snoring comfortably in Qu Lingxi's arms.

Qu Lingxi also gradually showed a smile.

Guan Yu gestured, and the waiter wearing an apron came over to take the bill.

He looked at Qu Lingxi thoughtfully, and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Everything is good except American."

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Why?"

Qu Lingxi curled her lips helplessly: "The aunt at home likes to make American style, no milk and no sugar. I drink this every time I go home. I just drank a glass in the morning, and I feel depressed after drinking it."

Guan Yu was amused by Qu Lingxi.

He nodded to the waiter and said, "If you believe me, I'll order you a drink."

"Yes." Qu Lingxi looked at him, "Of course."

The place where they sat was by the window, and the bright sunlight in the morning passed through the glass window and fell finely on his hair.Qu Lingxi lowered her head, hugged the cat, muttering something softly, probably coaxing the kitten.

This picture looks too good.

A docile cat, and a human who seems to be "docile" at the moment.

Guan Yu flashed lightly, and soon returned to normal.He whispered two or three words to the waiter next to him.

Qu Lingxi listened to their conversation suspiciously.

Ordering food is a very simple matter, but the words in Guan Yu's mouth can be called professional terms, and it is normal for Qu Lingxi to feel that she did not understand.

He pressed Xiaoruan's back, leaned over and said, "What were you talking about just now? Why can't I understand?"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "The customers don't even understand."

Qu Lingxi complained in her heart, saying that you are not a customer.Aren't you just a regular visitor?Who is nobler than whom?

"Good store manager." After taking notes, the waitress asked casually, "Are you still the same as before?"

Guan Yu nodded, "As usual."

After the waitress left, Qu Lingxi didn't withdraw her surprise, "The store manager?"

"Yes." Store Manager Guan couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't deliberately hide it from you. Who knew that Qu Ling was so unreliable that she didn't even reveal the identity of your blind date."

Qu Lingxi has not yet been able to draw the four characters Guan Yu and the blind date, and it would be embarrassing to draw them.By now being in a new-friend way, he can ignore the embarrassment.

"Wait." Guan Yu said, "Did Qu Ling tell you about me?"

"Is it true?"

"truth."

Qu Lingxi was a little tangled: "Actually... I don't know anything other than looking at your photo. I was tricked by her even when I came to this cat cafe this time."
