Before being discharged from the hospital, Jiang Rou told Xi Hezhou that she would take Sheng Lin home for dinner, but after being discharged from the hospital, Xi Hezhou was busy with new drugs and new inhibitors, and the number of times he left work on time was very small. As time passed, he almost forgot This incident happened until Jiang Rou called him.

He never expected to meet Qi Lian, and he came back with Xi Luyu, Sheng Lin looked at Xi Hezhou in surprise, but Xi Hezhou seemed not surprised by this situation, and took Sheng Lin upstairs.

It was a bit late last night. On the way here, Sheng Lin dozed off several times and hit his head against the window of the car. Before dinner, Xi Hezhou took Sheng Lin to bed first.

The house where Xi Hezhou University lived at that time is still in its original state, and someone should clean it regularly.

On the bookcase were Xi Hezhou's accumulation from his student days, as well as a few photo albums. Sheng Lin's sleepiness mostly disappeared, and he took out the photo album, sitting cross-legged on the bed to look through it. Xi Hezhou had no choice but to sit down with Sheng Lin.

The photos on the album record the changes of Xi Hezhou. As a child, Xi Hezhou was chubby, like a glutinous rice dumpling. Xi Hezhou in kindergarten and elementary school can gradually see the contours of his current facial features.

"Can you still play the piano?"

The young Sheng Lin sat in front of the piano in an inappropriate tuxedo, looking good, but Xi Hezhou didn't have a piano at home.

"No, that's my sister's piano. I was just joining in the fun."

From babbling children to young and immature teenagers, the photos only went to Xi Hezhou University, and there were no more photos in the future.

"Why is there no more?" Sheng Lin was a little depressed, he thought he could see Xi Hezhou in military uniform.

"After joining the army, I seldom took pictures." Xi Hezhou saw through Sheng Lin's inner grievances and explained patiently.

However, Sheng Lin found that there was a photo stacked under Xi Hezhou's graduation photo. Sheng Lin pulled it out, and it was a very vague figure, also wearing a bachelor's uniform, holding a bunch of flowers and talking to someone.

Xi Hezhou hurriedly took the photo away from Sheng Lin's hands, stuffed it back into the photo album, and told Sheng Lin to sleep, and called him back after dinner.

"That person...is me?" The memory deep in Sheng Lin's memory was revealed. That scene was indeed the day Sheng Lin graduated. On that day, he received an anonymous bouquet with "Happy Graduation" written on it, which was given to him by Xi Hezhou .

"I was a bit of a stalker back then, so I don't really want you to know."

At that time, Xi Hezhou ordered a bouquet of flowers nearby and delivered them to Sheng Lin. If others have them, Sheng Lin should have them too. He took a picture of Sheng Lin holding flowers from a distance, proving that he once had Sheng Lin's youth inside.

All the past, the embarrassment and the humbleness, were all spread out in front of Sheng Lin.

"It's really perverted." Sheng Lin stood up and walked in front of Xi Hezhou, "But I forgive you, let's sleep together."

In fact, Sheng Lin couldn't sleep, but Xi Hezhou was really short of sleep recently. Xi Hezhou slept very deeply, and Sheng Lin didn't respond when he got up and went downstairs halfway.

Aunt Jiang Rou was preparing dinner, and Xi's father was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw Sheng Lin coming down, he asked him to come and sit down.

So when Xi Hezhou woke up, he saw Sheng Lin talking and laughing with his father. The happy family scene almost blinded Xi Hezhou.

Aunt Jiang Rou made the meal and brought it out. Qi Lian came back from the outside with a mobile phone in his hand.

What is it like to eat at the same table with my former boss? Xi Hezhou definitely has the right to speak. Jiang Rou doesn't seem surprised at all. Yes, the one who coaxed Xi's father into a daze for a while was almost called a brother.

Xi Hezhou and Xi Luyu looked at each other, feeling that they were a bit redundant at this dinner table.

[What's going on? 】

[Just as you think. 】

The siblings made eye contact, and the other four enjoyed themselves happily.

Sheng Lin couldn't bear the feeding, he bumped into Xi Hezhou under the table, and cast a look for help.

"Sister, when will you and Qi Lian get married?"

As soon as these words came out, the table suddenly fell silent, Xi Luyu's eyes felt as if he wanted to kill Xi Hezhou, and Xi Hezhou's foot was stepped on under the table.

Jiang Rou cleared her throat, and took back the chopsticks for Sheng Lin's food. Sheng Lin was speechless. At a time like this, he should eat obediently.

"Dad, don't listen to Xi Hezhou's nonsense, Qi Lian and I haven't spoken yet."

"It's not like you that you lead people home before you even write your horoscope." Xi Hezhou took Sheng Lin's hand that was twitching under the table, and pressed it on his lap.

As a result, Xi Hezhou successfully drew the attention of his parents to Xi Luyu and Qi Qi, while he sneaked away with Sheng Lin.

"Are you a bit awkward with Qi Lian?" Normally, Xi Hezhou would not take the initiative to bring up those words, but today it was obviously intentional, and he didn't respond when he reminded him at the time.

"A little bit, a little hard to let go."

After all, it was Qi Lian himself who ordered Xi Hezhou to be confined.

Xi Hezhou is still a little hard to let go of that confinement for no reason. Sometimes when he thinks about it, he feels that it was the confinement that prevented him from saving Sheng Lin in time, which made him what he is now. But thinking about it carefully, Qi Lian also followed the rules. He can't find fault with his work.

Sheng Lin reached out and stroked Xi Hezhou's face to comfort him. "But he will become your brother-in-law in the future, what should you do?"

"He and my sister won't get married." Xi Hezhou seemed to have thought of something, and sighed, "Qilian can't let go of the military department."

Back then, Xi Hezhou got some inside information from other places. Before Qi Lian put him in confinement, he was paying attention to the research base and the changes at the top. His and Sheng Lin's reports were just the fuse. The base, and a group of leaders above.

It's not Qi Lian's fault either, he's already turned his back on it, it's just that it's a bit awkward to meet each other occasionally.

But Xi Luyu couldn't see it, because of some reasons, as long as Qi Lian was still working for the military, she would not marry him.

"Why?" Sheng Lin tilted his head and looked at Xi Hezhou, not quite understanding.

Rich people are really strange, like but can't be together.

"I don't care about their affairs, let's go."

"Going home?" Sheng Lin and Xi Hezhou were still standing at the door, and inside was the serial torture of Xi Luyu and Qi Lian by their parents.

In order not to harm Chi Yu, Xi Hezhou decided to go home with Sheng Lin.

"Let's take a walk, I'm a bit full." Sheng Lin's stomach was bulging.

There is a little breeze tonight and the temperature is a bit low. Fortunately, there are clothes for Sheng Lin in the car. Xi Hezhou went to the car to get the clothes for Sheng Lin to put on, and called his assistant to come and drive the car back tomorrow. They left side by side.
