you may never have loved me

Qu Lingxi was just talking casually. In fact, after he added his junior WeChat, he had only a handful of exchanges with the other party.

In the only few exchanges, the younger brother took the initiative to come to Qu Lingxi, asking about matters related to Gu Shen.

After he finished his examination and confirmed that he was fine enough to be discharged from the hospital, he urged Qu Ling to pick him up, ran away humming, and didn't even say hello to Gu Shen.

Qu Ling jokingly said, "Ah, you two can act in a play."

Qu Lingxi: "What play?"

Qu Ling said: ""After the car accident, I cruelly left my runaway CEO's little wife.""

Qu Lingxi: "..."

He secretly poked at Qu Ling with a speechless expression.

Qu Ling was bored playing with his mobile phone. He recently found Xiaoyuan's contact information again. The other party cried bitterly and asked why he suddenly ignored him before.

The two of them are also really funny. Although Qu Lingxi met Xiaoyuan before studying abroad, the two were really casual friends at that time. During the exchange student period in country B, they got close by accident and became close friends.

After Qu Lingxi returned to China, she didn't deliberately contact him. Xiaoyuan chased her love and lived in country B for a long time and changed her mobile phone number, but she couldn't contact Qu Lingxi. There was a four-year blank period between the two of them.

After Qu Lingxi contacted Xiaoyuan again, she burst into tears and cried, "I went to your school to look for you! Your teacher said you have returned to China! You didn't say you broke up with Gu Shen, I thought You're breaking up with me! Whoa whoa whoa..."

The other party cried miserably.

Qu Lingxi had no choice but to comfort her for a long time.

During the period, the junior came to several WeChat messages, and Qu Lingxi took the time to select them back.

Junior: "Senior, Mr. Gu seems to be in a bad mood today."

Qu Lingxi, oh, what does this have to do with him.

Qu Lingxi couldn't reply like this, he replied with a smirk on his face: "Then tell him some bad jokes to comfort him :)"

Junior: "...I don't think Mr. Gu is a personality who likes to listen to cold jokes."

Qu Lingxi: "Yes^-^, let's just leave him alone."

Junior: "..."

Junior: "He probably wants you to go and see him."

Qu Lingxi: "But I've already been discharged from the hospital:("

Junior: "!"

Afterwards, the other party called a string of garbled codes, and the car happened to arrive at Qu's residence. Qu Ling regretted not thinking about it, and returned home amidst the warm cheers and crowds of the Qu's family.

After Qu Lingxi had already eaten and drank spicy food, bathed and changed clothes, and was lying peacefully on the soft bed in the bedroom, the junior suddenly sent two messages: "Sorry senior. There was a little problem with Mr. Gu's rehabilitation just now, so I I didn't reply in time. Are you really not going to see him?"

Qu Lingxi sighed, "It's not relative, so what identity should I use to see him?"

Junior: "...Sorry, I thought you were at least friends."

Qu Lingxi: "Will you be friends with your ex-girlfriend?"

Junior: "...No."

Qu Lingxi smiled: "Then it's over."

Junior: "???!"

No matter how many exclamation marks and question marks the other party called, Qu Lingxi did not reply to the other party.It is enough to satisfy a little bit of children's curiosity, there is no need to explain the cause and effect clearly.

However, circles are interconnected.Ever since Gu Shen formed a close cooperative relationship with Xilin, Qu Lingxi inevitably had contact with Gu Shen.

Qu Lingxi was discharged from the hospital for more than half a month, and Qu Ling left an important document at home, so she called her home and asked Aunt Li to bring it, but it was Qu Lingxi who answered the phone.

Qu Ling said sadly: "Sister Li's little granddaughter suddenly had a high fever, the kindergarten teacher called, and Aunt Li rushed over."

Qu Ling rubbed her forehead with a headache, "The driver is still on his way home."

Qu Ling regretted not knowing what embarrassment Qu Ling had, he wondered, "Am I not a living person?"

"It's different." Qu Ling was speechless, walked into the tea room, and she said softly, "Today's meeting, ahem, who is yours?"

Qu Ling paused for a while.

He laughed: "It's nothing, I don't care."

Not long after, Qu Lingxi drove to Xilin. The front desk and staff on the first floor knew him. Seeing him coming, they pushed the exclusive elevator for him and said, "In the conference hall on the seventh floor, Mr. Qu and Mr. Gu are waiting upstairs. you."

Qu Lingxi originally wanted to be a gentleman, so that the little girl would not be so troublesome. He has hands and feet, and it is not impossible for him to do basic tasks.How can I even ask people to press the elevator.

But as soon as the other party's voice fell, his thinking changed from another angle.

Qu Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, then blurted out: "Okay, I see."

The people in the conference hall had indeed been waiting for him for a long time.As soon as he arrived, Gu Shen looked at him like no one else was there, Qu Lingxi didn't feel uncomfortable, did he put the document in front of Qu Ling, and said: "Then, sister... I'll go first."

Qu Ling nodded and signaled him to go quickly with his eyes.

Gu Shen said, "Our meeting is not long. Do you want to have a meal together after it's over?"

Qu Lingxi pointed to Gu Shen, then nodded to herself, "You, and, me?"

Gu Shen crossed his hands, looking like he was still immersed in his work.

He said sanctimoniously: "Of course not, all shareholders."

Qu Ling's face turned ugly.

The other shareholders don't understand these twists and turns, pretending to expect and smiling, but in fact, each of them is sitting upright and does not want to participate in their disputes.

Qu Lingxi's gaze bypassed these greasy middle-aged uncles, and she lost her appetite.He curled his lips and said not very interested: "I won't participate in your business dinner."

After finishing speaking, Qu Lingxi turned around and left again.

Gu Shen was secretly annoyed, and stopped him again, "What if it's just me and you?"

Qu Lingxi glanced past Gu Shen's pleasing and deliciously handsome face, and asked hesitantly, "What dish?"

Gu Shen said: "You can eat whatever you want."

Qu Lingxi thought about it and said: "I saw a food promotion in the middle of the night last night, and the fat sausage seemed to be very good. I want to eat that."

Shareholders and Qu Ling: "..."

Gu Shen smiled, "Okay."

Qu Lingxi shrugged and wanted to leave again.

Gu Shen was afraid that he would leave the company and never come back, so he immediately asked softly, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the downstairs lounge to stay for a while." Qu Lingxi said as a matter of course, "The downstairs lounge has the snacks I left last time, and a projector. Or stay here with you?"

Qu Lingxi asked rhetorically, expressing her disgust both openly and secretly.

Gu Shen felt relieved, "If you still feel bored, you can ask the staff to buy something else for you."

"Hmm." Qu Lingxi nodded perfunctorily, thinking whether this is your company or mine.How could he not understand these things.

After Qu Lingxi left, several people in the conference room looked at each other.

One shareholder still had the weight to speak, he tentatively said: "Mr. Qu, are we about to drink your brother Ling and Mr. Gu's wedding wine?"

Qu Ling's face was livid, but she didn't want to touch Gu Shen's face in front of everyone, so she said forcefully: "I don't know, it's about the two of them."

That being said, the few people had already made up their minds, thinking that Xilin's ability to climb this high branch was not groundless.

Everyone turned to look at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was unpredictable, "This is a private matter."

The shareholders wiped off their sweat and said, "Understood, understood."

The meeting ended quickly, and it was just a process and a signature.After Gu Shen casually exchanged greetings, he hurried downstairs, but Qu Ling stopped him with folded arms, and said coldly, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Shen paused, then nodded slightly to show that he was listening.

Qu Ling sighed, "I hope you don't let my brother down again. He suffered a lot in those years."

Gu Shen's expression froze, and he said solemnly, "I won't make him sad again."

Qu Ling examined him and said coldly, "Remember what you said."

After Gu Shen left, his figure gradually left Qu Ling's sight, and Qu Ling couldn't help scolding his mother. Didn't his brother say that Gu Shen used to be a poor boy, and he had low self-esteem and was easy to deal with?With such a strong aura, she didn't dare to speak louder when she spoke harshly just now.

In the lounge, Qu Lingxi was drowsy.

Gu Shen took a blanket and covered Qu Lingxi, but he didn't want to wake up Qu Lingxi.Gu Shen was a little embarrassed, he didn't seem to be as good at taking care of people as before, and he couldn't even cover them with a blanket.

Qu Lingxi stretched her waist, rubbed her eyes, found that it was Gu Shen, and said, "Is the meeting over?"

"Yeah." Gu Shen said, "Do you want to continue sleeping?"

Qu Lingxi struggled to get off the blanket, "Don't sleep, sleeping is not as interesting as eating."

By the way, he muttered unsatisfactorily, "Who covered me with a blanket? The heater is so hot."

Gu Shen: "..."

He shifted his eyes uncomfortably: "I don't know, maybe your sister."

Qu Ling sneezed in his office.

Noodle shop, two bowls of fat intestine noodles.

Qu Lingxi eats with gusto, but Gu Shen doesn't catch a cold.

Qu Lingxi urged: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Gu Shen pushed away the fatty sausage noodles and asked the waiter to bring up a bowl of plain noodles.

Qu Ling sneered, "Jinggui."

Gu Shen wiped the greasy tables and chairs with a paper towel.

Qu Ling was puzzled and said: "You have worked so many jobs before, and you still mind this kind of environment?"

"I've had this kind of experience before." Gu Shen said, "I just pay more attention."

Qu Lingxi looked at the high-tech crutches leaning against the table and chairs, "Your legs are still intact?"

Gu Shen said: "How can it be so fast?"

"Ah——" Qu Lingxi wondered, "Then why are you leaving the hospital in such a hurry? Those contracts, with all due respect, can be replaced by video conferences, and then sent to the hospital to be signed."

Gu Shen paused with his chopsticks raised, and blew away the heat from his face. He still lowered his eyes: "Because you were discharged from the hospital early."

Qu Lingxi shook her head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity."

Gu Shen asked: "What a pity?"

Qu Lingxi: "It's a pity for my junior. He works part-time and study, but he can't work long. He often reports to me about your situation."

Gu Shen's tone was slightly stiff, "Do you communicate frequently?"

"Not really." Qu Ling said regretfully.

As soon as Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, Qu Lingxi said, "But I contact you more often."

Gu Shen raised his eyes and looked at him, "I, you didn't reply when I sent you messages."

What Gu Shen said is true, he will send a message to Qu Lingxi three times a day.It's a pity that Qu Lingxi didn't reply to any of them.

Qu Lingxi said helplessly, "Your 'have you eaten, where is it, good night...' are more boring than the messages my college counselor sent me, how should I reply?"

Gu Shen thought for a moment, he was indeed bored, but when he was in love in country B before, he also sent similar daily routines to Qu Lingxi.At that time, Qu Lingxi would always come back.

Gu Shen said this to Qu Lingxi, but Qu Lingxi couldn't help laughing: "Hey - Gu Shen, do you compare now with that time? We were passionately in love at that time, right? What is it now? Friends who have a better relationship are not counted. Go ahead. Let me tell you, sometimes you have to be realistic."

Qu Lingxi was telling the truth, but Gu Shen remained silent.

He bowed his head to eat the noodles in silence, Qu Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable, and suggested whether to go to the movies in the afternoon.Qu Lingxi originally thought that Gu Shen, who had lost face, would hesitate for a while, but he didn't even think about it, and quickly agreed, taking advantage of Qu Lingxi's time to eat noodles, and bought a ticket.

Qu Lingxi went to look at Gu Shen's mobile phone, his mouth was full of fat: "Is there a good place to buy it temporarily?"

"It's gone." Gu Shen retracted the phone to prevent Qu Lingxi from peeking, "Only the last row."

After arriving at the theater, Qu Lingxi found out that the last row in Gu Shen's mouth refers to the lovers' seats. There are no boundaries and barriers between the seats, and the design is convenient for couples to get intimate while watching a movie.

The deck is designed like this, but there are really many couples who are unscrupulous, regardless that this is a public place.

The film is also a cliché, telling the story of a couple who fell in love when they were young and started their own families by accident, but they resolved their misunderstanding years later but never stayed together.

Qu Lingxi's attention was completely attracted by the couple who were close to each other, she didn't pay much attention to the content of the film, but Gu Shen watched it seriously.

Throughout the film, he remained silent, staring at the screen.

At the end of the film, Qu Lingxi proposed to go to the night market with Gu Shen.

Gu Shen remained silent.

Qu Ling said regretfully: "Do you think it is difficult to fall in love?"

"I don't think so." Gu Shen said, "It's just that adults are too self-conscious. Even if they are in love, they don't want to be the one who bows their heads."

Qu Lingxi said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to have so many insights."

Gu Shen didn't shy away: "Because it will remind me of myself."

"Huh?" Qu Ling said regretfully, "Why can't I think of it?"

The two walked silently through a bustling night market stall.

Qu Lingxi stood still under a glowing red lantern, his expression became a little more serious, "Gu Shen, I have to tell you the truth. Although I have recovered my memory, memory is always memory. I don't have you... And Cherish, to experience that feeling firsthand."

"There is no such deep love, no such unforgettable feeling, I really want to have it."

"But sorry, our feelings may not be equal."

Gu Shen's expression was also serious along with Qu Lingxi.

Two serious people, in the street market full of laughter and laughter, are really abrupt and funny.

The little flower seller stuffed the last bouquet of unsold roses into Gu Shen's hand, and begged, "Uncle, buy a bunch of flowers. I bought it for the brother opposite you. It’s really as beautiful as the roses I sell.”

Gu Shen lowered his head and saw that it was a bouquet of roses that were in their twilight years, seriously dehydrated.The petals are folded and curled, half dead, lingering on their last breath.

Qu Lingxi said to the little girl: "You are talking nonsense, my brother is not prettier than this bunch of flowers."

He turned to seek Gu Shen's approval, and said proudly: "Do you think so?"

Gu Shen nodded, only Qu Lingxi was in his eyes: "You look good."

Qu Lingxi raised her chin proudly at the little girl.

The little girl burst out crying, almost attracting countless passers-by on the side of the road.Gu Shen had no choice but to buy all the flowers in her hand at a high price.

Gu Shen, who was taken advantage of, and Qu Lingxi, who bullied the little girl to cry, continued walking on the side of the road.

Qu Ling said regretfully: "You are just used to others."

"She will cry." Gu Shen said.

Qu Ling regretted: "Then let her cry. Anyway, she didn't care, and she had the nerve to sell that kind of flower to passers-by."

The kind of flower in Qu Lingxi's mouth was in his arms at this time, after Gu Shen bought it as a bully, he gave it all to Qu Lingxi.

The two walked for a while.

Gu Shen suddenly brought up the previous topic, "Actually, I know. If you could really feel all the emotions before, you wouldn't be able to go shopping with me properly here."

Qu Lingxi guessed, "If it's Cherish? What will you do? Pull you into the blacklist? Or stay away from each other forever?"

Gu Shen looked at him sideways and said calmly, "There are all of them. But you are Cherish."

Qu Lingxi was silent for a while, but did not veto Gu Shen's words.

The two were tired from walking, so they went into a quiet bar to drink. They drank low-alcohol wine, and what they drank was the mood and atmosphere, not the wine itself.Maybe because each of them obviously had company, this time there were no idlers waiting to strike up a conversation, and Qu Ling felt very at ease.

Late at night, Qu Lingxi hooked Gu Shen's waist and returned to the hotel where Gu Shen was staying.

When he got off the elevator, taking advantage of no one there, he suddenly hooked Gu Shen's neck, pulled it down, and kissed hard, his lips and teeth intersected, the sound of water stains was wanton, and the kiss made people blush and heartbeat.

Qu Ling cherished hanging on him, and said with a smile: "That's what I wanted to do in the cinema."

Gu Shen said, "The smell of wine."

Qu Ling was dissatisfied: "You have it too."

Gu Shen was thoughtful: "It also smells like fat intestines."

Qu Lingxi: "...I'm going to brush my teeth."

Qu Lingxi kept his word. When he got to the room, the first thing he did was to brush his teeth.In order for Gu Shen not to get a taste of it, he brushed it for seven or eight minutes.

Gu Shen was worried about him, so he knocked on the bathroom door.

Qu Lingxi opened the door and rushed forward like a koala. He breathed out at Gu Shen, "Listen now."

"Yeah." Gu Shen, "mint lemon flavor."

Qu Lingxi said: "The conditions here are mediocre. I have a mouthwash that smells good at home. I guarantee you will linger and forget to return."

Gu Shen caught him so that he would not fall off.

"That's all for now."

Qu Lingxi hasn't vented for a long time, the two tried various postures, and they really lingered.

During the daytime of the next day, the hotel's breakfast delivery person arrived, Gu Shen put on a bath towel, opened the door and brought out a breakfast plate.He said: "The soy milk and pork rib porridge here are good, try it."

Qu Lingxi looked at him with her chin in her hands.

Gu Shen fainted in the sun, like Su Shenze.He lowered his head, put down the dinner plate, held Qu Lingxi's side face, and kissed deeply.

After the kiss, Qu Lingxi smacked her lips in satisfaction: "Mr. Gu, I like your face very much, and your abdominal muscles are very comfortable to touch. Hmm... yesterday's technique was also very good, it made me linger."

Gu Shen coughed violently.

His neck was blushing, not only from coughing, but also from being ashamed by Qu Lingxi's words.

Probably coughed, Gu Shen is not such a shy person.

He remembered a pair of rings that were still in the drawer of the bedroom of the new house.This is what he took out when he was going to propose to Qu Lingxi.At this moment, the atmosphere is ambiguous and warm, and it is time for it to appear.

Gu Shen was secretly annoyed.

Qu Lingxi continued his invitation.

"I really like being with Mr. Gu, you... what?" Qu Lingxi blinked, and asked with a smile, like a naive little vixen, her words revolved around that matter the whole time.

The redness on Gu Shen's face has not faded yet.

Qu Ling regretted the final conclusion, "So, are you willing to be my long-term girlfriend/friend?"

In an instant, the redness on Gu Shen's face quickly faded, turning pale.

He knelt down and looked directly at Qu Lingxi, "What?"

It was only then that Qu Lingxi remembered that Gu Shen was of mixed race. He was afraid that the other party would still not be able to understand, so he explained in another language. He just wanted to ask him if he was going to be a friend and bed/partner, or pure sex. Tie.

He watched the light in Gu Shen's eyes slowly dim.

"As you wish." Gu Shen kissed Qu Lingxi's hair, thinking that luckily he didn't actually propose here, "It's fine, as long as you like it."
