As August approached, Chu Xi and the company's affairs were almost done, and there was a lot of time left. After Xuanqing's previous book "Sleepless in Summer" was published, it became popular on the Internet and became famous. More and more people asked him to draw manuscripts.

Chu Xihe didn't want to interfere with Xuanqing's making friends, and it was a good thing to know more friends. In his life, a name named Baihe began to appear frequently and was mentioned by Xuanqing.

Especially in the last two weeks, Xuanqing has picked up a new collection of works, and he is still partnered with someone else. As far as he knows, this time the partner is Bai He, who often goes out at noon and comes back late in the afternoon.

Chu Xihe felt a little dissatisfied, and he didn't feel good about something. The company had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he went early to buy Xu Ji's soup dumplings. Xuanqing especially likes to eat pasta these days.

The car was parked in the yard, only Jiaozi happily chasing butterflies in the garden, Chu Xihe went around and saw no one, neither in the living room nor on the second floor.

Xuanqing usually stays at home on Thursdays, but today the house is empty, and I haven't told him when I go out.

Chu Xihe put the bag that was still slightly hot on the table, and dialed the phone with a sullen face.

The coffee shop was very quiet, Xuan Qing was drawing a picture seriously, and the phone vibrated next to him.

After he saw the number clearly, his eyes lit up, and he was about to answer the phone when Bai He stopped him.

"Hey, hey, don't worry, just wait a moment and pick it up later."

Bai He reassured again and again: "I'm a contemporary old man, a young expert in love, don't worry, I'm sure you're right!"

Couples still need to maintain some personal space. Finally, as the saying goes, distance creates beauty. He and Xuanqing have known each other for a while, and know a lot about certain things.

Bai He believes that the reason why Xuanqing is concerned about gains and losses is because he is too dependent on his partner, so the solution is to take on more jobs. In case the other party is a scumbag, he will still have money.

Standing in the living room, Chu Xihe turned his head to look at the dumplings in the garden and was a little anxious. Before his patience was worn out, he got through the phone. He hid his bad mood and spoke as calmly as possible.

"Qingqing, are you done with your work? When will you go home?"

The coffee shop was very quiet, Bai He also heard the voice on the phone, he looked at the time and repeated five o'clock with his mouth.

Xuan Qing glanced at Bai He, and subconsciously replied: "Not... not yet, it ends at five o'clock."

The other half of the phone was silent for a while, and then I heard Chu Xihe say: "Okay, send me the address, and I will pick you up when the time comes."

In the living room, the soup dumpling was thrown on the table alone. Chu Xihe went into the wine room to pick out a bottle of red wine. After opening it with a corkscrew, the room was filled with the aroma of wine.

He closed the door and went to the kitchen to get a glass of red wine. He sat on the sofa alone and lowered his head to enjoy the wine. Chu Xihe began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong or pushed Xuan Qing too hard.

Since July, both of them have been very busy at work, especially Xuanqing, sometimes even busier than him. Before, he could see people every time he came home from work, but now the house is empty only When did dumplings start?

Chu Xihe calculated the time a little bit, yes, probably after he came back from France, maybe it was an illusion, sometimes Chu Xihe felt that Xuan Qing seemed to go out on purpose.

Xuan Qing has always been too lonely when he came to this world, so Chu Xihe was happy for him after hearing that he had made friends. He hoped that Xuan Qing could have his own hobbies and friends.

Especially for the talent shown in painting, Chu Xi and Hope Xuanqing can go further on this road. From this point of view, it seems a bit too early to get married.

In the past two days, Chu Xi and secretly checked the identity of the boy, but he was the most common, about the same age as Xuan Qing, a student of University A, a well-known painter on the Internet, with a carefree personality and no bad habits.

But if one day Xuanqing goes far away, will she choose to come back?He is 25 years old this year, and Xuanqing is seven years older. Perhaps the two have some differences in thinking, but Xuanqing kept it hidden and never told him.

Chu Xihe raised his hand and pressed Chu Tiao's temple, he could wait until Xuan Qing's wings were full, and when he had seen the outside world and came back to him on his own initiative.

The sunlight outside the window gradually faded. After Chu Xihe drank the last sip of red wine, he got up and put away the wine glasses. He took the keys and went out to drive. There was a location quietly lying on the screen of the mobile phone.

During these two hours, Xuanqing was inexplicably uneasy because of Chu Xi and the brief silence on the phone, her work efficiency was almost zero, and she only drew half a manuscript in the end.

"You're not even thinking about painting, so stop torturing yourself."

Bai He sighed, Xuan Qing's personality is very slow, he is the least talkative person he has ever met, not one of them, originally he thought that such a cold person should not have any relationship problems, but he did not expect the result to be exactly the opposite.

It was already [-]:[-], and the master hadn't come to pick him up yet, Xuanqing kept checking the time.

Five minutes later, a black Bentley stopped at the entrance of the coffee shop. The piano nocturne was playing slowly in the car. Chu Xi and Relax leaned on the car seat, looking at Xuan Qing through the car window. The lines are not as sharp as before, and I finally gained a little weight.

The two seem to have a good understanding. At the same time, Xuan Qing also subconsciously turned around. Seeing the familiar license plate number, he was overjoyed and began to pack his things.

"Baihe, let's stop here today, let's meet again next time."

While speaking, Chu Xihe had already entered the coffee shop, and he greeted the boy with glasses with a smile.

"Hello."

Bai He didn't react for a while, he knew that Xuan Qing's partner was a man, because Xuan Qing had a picture book, which was full of profiles of the same person, but he never expected that this person would only appear in financial newspapers figure.

The number one golden bachelor on the national hot list.

Everything was too unreal, Bai He swallowed, and greeted him with dry smiles.

"Hi, hello, I'm Xuanqing's friend, my name is Baihe..."

Chu Xihe nodded: "I know, you don't need to be nervous, I'm Qingqing's boyfriend, come to play at home when I have time."

Bai He nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, thank you."

He didn't realize until after the person left that Xuan Qing's boyfriend was actually the president of GM company. What kind of koi is he? The domineering president...

After getting into the car, Xuan Qing happily turned her head and asked, "Master, why is it so early today?"

Chu Xihe was in a complicated state of mind, she glanced at Xuan Qing and covered her body to fasten the seat belt for him, just when Xuan Qing raised her head and waited for the meeting and kiss, there was a "click", the seat belt was fastened, and Chu Xihe's figure had already withdrawn.

"The company has nothing to do. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"Not hungry..." What Xuan Qing thought in his heart was that Master forgot to kiss him today, as he usually does.

Chu Xihe hummed: "There is still food at home, so go home and cook."

Xuan Qing naturally has no objection, he likes the feeling of two people cooking together at home.

The two chatted as usual along the way, for some reason Xuan Qing always felt that Chu Xihe was not in a good mood today, he could feel even a slight change.

Are you having trouble at work?

Xuan Qing didn't have any talent for doing business, and he tried to understand Chu Xihe's work, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

The dinner was simple, the home-cooked dishes were relatively light, there were three dishes and one soup on the table, and it was still steaming, Chu Xi served Xuanqing a bowl of pork rib soup as usual, and drinking soup every day during this period was somewhat effective.

Xuan Qing ate the rice in the bowl seriously, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Master, did you encounter any troubles at work?"

"Don't think too much, no."

Chu Xihe was not in a good mood, but it was impossible for him to ask Xuanqing why he was avoiding him these days, whether it was conflicts or other problems, they could be resolved slowly.

Xuan Qing still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Chu Xihe: "Eat well."

Xuan Qing stopped talking.

After eating, Chu Xihe went into the study, and Xuanqing was playing with dumplings in the garden. In summer, it was not completely dark at [-]:[-] a.m., and the lights in the room on the second floor could be seen from the garden.

He suddenly thought of the cold soup dumplings on the kitchen counter, and was startled.

When Chu Xihe entered the bedroom, Xuan Qing was sitting on the bed in cross-legged pajamas, with a laptop on his lap. It didn't look like he was drawing a manuscript. When he walked in, he found a chat page on the screen.

"Stop playing and sleep."

Xuan Qing hummed, stretched his waist and turned his hands to close the computer and put it aside, he seemed to smell a faint smell of alcohol.

After Chu Xihe lay down, Xuan Qing tried to get up to turn off the light, but someone grabbed her wrist suddenly.

"Qingqing."

"Huh?" Xuan Qing turned around and lay down again.

Chu Xihe paused, rubbing the ring back and forth with his fingers.

"Do you want to learn painting more professionally? I can send you to study, or ask a teacher to give you lessons." Xuanqing is talented, and there is still a lot of room for improvement after systematic study.

Xuan Qing met many painters through "Summer Never Sleeps" before. Their works are highly skilled and have a wealth of professional knowledge. Thinking so, Xuan Qing nodded.

After Chu Xihe understood his wishes, she took a deep breath.

"Qingqing, there is one more thing."

"For the marriage, wait a little longer. Two years? Or three or five years. I won't force you on this matter. In short, you don't have to avoid me."

Chu Xihe spoke in a very calm tone. After speaking, he took off the ring and put it in the box beside the bed, making a soft sound.

Xuan Qing was in a daze, her body froze completely following Chu Xihe's words, and there were bursts of tinnitus in her ears, she couldn't hear anything, and only the next sentence remained in her mind.

As for the marriage, wait a little longer.

Xuan Qing swallowed dryly, his throat was sore, he kept suppressing his breath to calm himself down and keep his voice from trembling.

"No, I don't want to..."

Chu Xihe moved his Adam's apple and didn't speak. He got up and turned off the light. The bedroom was dark and the night was long. The moon outside the window mixed with the starlight came in. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Good, go to sleep."

Xuan Qing's eyes were already red, and her eyes were blurred by tears. She hugged Chu Xihe's neck tightly and trembled uncontrollably in his arms. Finally, she restrained her breathing and shouted forcefully:

"Master, I don't want it, why... why don't you end it, I don't want to be like this..."

Chu Xihe was not sure what Xuanqing meant for a while, and he clearly avoided him all day long, but now he finally made up his mind and found a middle way, but finally shouted that he didn't want to.

"I didn't, I didn't want to avoid you... I just want you to spend more time with me. I want to stay with you longer every day, and don't work so much..."

"Don't want me..."

A wet touch came from the neck, Chu Xihe was completely helpless, he was afraid of Xuanqing's tears, everything, he just wanted to follow his own ideas.

"Don't cry, you can tell me directly if you have any ideas, I will listen to you."

Hearing this, Xuan Qing slowly let go of her shoulders, her brain gradually became clear, and after returning to her senses, she said anxiously: "Marry, Master, I want to marry you, please, promise me..."

Chu Xi and her emotions surged in the dark.

"it is good."

As long as it is what you want, I will promise you.

Xuan Qing seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he turned over and groped to find the ring box with long hands and long legs. His movements were a little flustered, and he managed to put the ring on Chu Xi and his finger after repeated several times. He said fiercely:

"Don't take it off!"

After speaking, he quickly got into Chu Xihe's arms and hugged him tightly. Finally, he seemed to be overwhelmed with anger. He opened his mouth and bit Chu Xihe's shoulder lightly, complaining silently, full of possessive desire.

"hiss--"

Chu Xihe reached out and pinched Xuan Qing's waist, then lowered his head and kissed his forehead: "Are you really biting?"

The person in the arms snorted softly, let go, and then kissed the place where the teeth marks were left just now. Xuan Qing fell asleep after having a temper tantrum for an unknown amount of time.

Early the next morning.

As soon as the alarm clock rang, Chu Xihe turned it off. The person in his arms was sleeping soundly, breathing undulatingly. It was just past 06:30, which was still early.

As soon as Chu Xihe put on his pajamas and got out of bed, Xuan Qing woke up. He opened his eyes and was dazed for a second before waking up. Chu Xihe's nightgown was loose, with a disheveled front, a large area of ​​his chest was exposed, and the bite marks on it were clearly visible. visible.

Did he bite so hard last night?

"It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Xuan Qing came back to her senses, and got up without saying a word.

"Don't be sleepy anymore, Master, I'm going to the company too, I won't disturb your work, I paint very quietly."

The corners of Chu Xihe's mouth twitched slightly: "Okay, then you change your clothes first, and then go to wash up."
