If you don't act as a scumbag, you will die

Xie Xun was politely hung up by the host in the middle of the night, feeling very depressed.

He shouldn't have listened to Liang Fan's nonsense in the first place.

It was also at this time that he received a message from the other party.

[Liang Fan: Did Cheng Li attack you today? !all right? 】

[Liang Fan: Is it convenient for Fang to answer the phone now? 】

[X: Well. 】

The other party called quickly, with a very anxious tone: "Why didn't you tell me when something happened in the afternoon? What is the situation?"

Xie Xun kept an orange night light, he didn't hide much, and gave a brief summary of what happened today, but in order to avoid Xie Ling knowing, he didn't tell him about his injury.

"When you said you were going to deal with him, I thought that the other party would probably come to find trouble..." Liang Fan blamed himself a little. Fortunately, he heard that they had called the police a long time ago, and the surveillance cameras in the corridor were also there, so he was a little relieved.

"I'm fine." Xie Xun said.

"But... hey," the other party seemed to be deliberating on the phone for a long time, and finally took a breath and said to him, "I also apologize for my inappropriate words and deeds before."

"what?"

"It's just... about your wife. I really thought you were being threatened." Liang Fan continued, "So my words may not sound very pleasant at first, but after hearing what you said just now, I really feel the truth now. It's different from what I heard."

"What did I just... say?"

"Didn't you just say that your wife directly led someone to the office to save you? And the secretary also heard it. When Cheng Li threatened you, he didn't hesitate at all. If the company doesn't want anything, someone will let you go first."

Xie Xun coughed twice: "Yes."

"So you invited me to your wedding and I didn't come because I was afraid of embarrassing you brother. Since things are not what I thought, I will also make a digression here and sincerely wish you a happy marriage again."

Xie Xun felt happy and complicated for a while, but he still said: "...Thank you."

The two talked about some work matters, and it could be seen that Cheng Li's episode would not affect all of Xie Xun's plans. You left a trust fund, and when that time comes, the money is enough for you to do a lot of things you want to do, and if you have any wobbling problems, you can also come to me."

He said a number, Liang Fan didn't even bother to be surprised: "Why do you..."

The amount of money was too large, even though one of the reasons why he originally wanted to cooperate with Xie Xun was that he really needed money, it was far beyond his imagination.

And how long did it take, and how much skill did he have, to get this money?

"It's okay, just treat it as a reward for being willing to help me all the time." Xie Xun said it lightly, and the meaning was obvious. He was very grateful for Liang Fan's help, but he was afraid of getting involved in some things, so it was inconvenient to bring him along.

Liang Fan felt hot in his heart: "I know it's not easy to shake the other party's foundation, and I also know that my ability is far inferior to yours, but as long as you need help, just ask, I will—"

"Oh, what I mean is, I want to give someone the reorganized and managed company. I'm afraid you won't be willing, so I'll give you the dividends I deserve in advance."

Liang Fan's passion for fighting for his brother was drowned out by a basin of cold water: "Ah? Who are you going to give... Oh, pretend I didn't say anything."

It was probably because Xie Xun had shown off in front of him more than once before, and he quickly realized: "You guys are really...really..."

As a pure science student, Liang Fan finally choked out a sentence: "It's really harmonious."

"So you also think that my wife likes me?" He heard Xie Xun ask.

"Are you talking nonsense? Wasn't I still talking just now?" Liang Fan finally got a little angry, "My girlfriend is still throwing a tantrum at me, don't show me off, it will give me a headache."

"Oh." Speaking of this, Xie Xun's voice finally had a different taste, "My friend told me that the shed next to your girlfriend is really not good."

Since Cheng Li's matter still needs to be investigated, it was rare for Xie Xun to go to the company early in the morning the next day.

What was even more rare was that Cheng Cheng had already woken up when he went downstairs, and was sitting at the dining table drinking milk with a displeased face.

Xie Xun still can't figure out Cheng Cheng's thoughts. He originally wanted to sit closer, but felt that if the other party really regarded him as a friend, wouldn't he be pretending to be affectionate.

So he calmly pulled the seat farthest from Cheng Cheng's seat and sat down.

Uncle Liu came over and poured coffee for him, and put breakfast in front of him.

Xie Xun thanked Uncle Liu, then continued to look at Cheng Cheng from the corner of his eye.

The other party was still frowning, looking as if he was troubled by something.

Wanting to ask him why he was bored, Xie Xun thought, but was afraid that he would be unnecessary.

But what if he really needs himself...

Xie Xun watched as Cheng Cheng poked the fried egg with a fork, piercing the half-runny egg yolk, but he didn't move with the fork in his mouth.

Otherwise, go ahead and ask.

Even——Xie Xun took ten thousand steps back and thought at this moment—even if he really only regards himself as a friend and cares about him, it's not too much.

Xie Xun had just figured it out, and when he was thinking about what to say as an opening statement, Cheng Cheng finally raised his head and met his gaze.

Cheng Cheng's eyes flashed: "Bao..."

He forcibly swallowed the word "Bei" back before he finished speaking: "Why are you sitting so far away?"

Xie Xun was stunned, and before he had time to speak, he heard Cheng Cheng say again: "Come over here."

"Oh."

Xie Xun started to act before his mind, Xie Xun had a cold expression on his face, but he still silently stood up holding his own plate, and sat down next to Cheng Cheng without saying a word.

"What should I do." He looked at Xie Xun, "My grandma still knows. I don't even want to tell her."

Xie Xun looked at the person in front of him, his face was still a little sleepy, his hair was messed up, it seemed that he was still angry after waking up.

He still wants to share things with himself.

Xie Xun said in his heart.

But myself...

"Can you help me explain to my grandma?" Cheng Cheng dragged him and said, but he didn't know why, and his actions seemed a little bit lacklustre.

"……it is good."

Hearing what he said, Cheng Cheng finally smiled, drank the milk in one gulp, and started looking for his mobile phone: "I'll call her."

Realizing that the phone seemed to be left in the room by himself, Cheng Cheng stood up: "Wait, I'll go upstairs."

He put the fork back next to the dinner plate, and was about to walk to the room when he felt Xie Xun pull him: "What's wrong?"

Xie Xun didn't speak, but silently straightened his soft hair, without any other expression on his face: "Okay. Go."

Cheng Cheng went upstairs, while Xie Xun sat at the dining table thinking.

He didn't deny his touch at all.

You won't refuse to hold his hand, and you won't refuse to touch his hair.

However, none of these things can happen to friends.

Xie Xun spent a second thinking about the scene where he tidied Liang Fan's hair, almost trembling, and immediately came back to his senses, thinking so firmly.

Cheng Cheng quickly came back from the room and called Qi Rong in front of Xie Xun.

"Xiaocheng? Xiaocheng, why didn't you answer just now?" Qi Rong's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Did Cheng Li do anything to you? I'll just say it, your dad came to see me this morning. If it was in the past, I would have asked you first, but this time it won’t work, I can’t make peace, Xiaocheng, you should be tougher, don’t be afraid..."

"Grandma." Cheng Cheng's voice was a little guilty and guilty, "I'm really fine. And your birthday is coming, don't get angry!"

"It's because you're fine and dare to talk like that now! When Cheng Li passed by, how could you just go there without telling me? Have you ever thought about what if something really happens?"

"Where can something go wrong? Isn't Xie Xun here? He is—" the remaining part of Cheng Cheng's sentence "the real protagonist with decisive means" was almost blurted out by him, and he immediately changed it, "He is He snatched the knife in one go! He is my superman!"

Qi Rong didn't let go at all: "Then what if he doesn't succeed?"

"No, no, no..." Cheng Cheng begged for mercy coquettishly, and tried to change the subject, "Your birthday party next week, I will definitely prepare a gift for you, and bring Xie Xun over—"

"Stop here." Qi Rong said.

In desperation, Cheng Cheng couldn't care less, and simply threw the pot out: "He's right next to me, if you don't believe me, let him tell you."

After saying this, Cheng Cheng pushed the phone in front of Xie Xun, as if he didn't care about it.

Xie Xun was a little funny, but he still took the phone and called the other party respectfully.

"Xie Xun?" Qi Rong heard him speak, and her tone changed, "Are you using the speakerphone now?"

"No." Xie Xun glanced at Cheng Cheng, stood up and walked to the terrace.

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight." Qi Rong didn't beat around the bush at all, "I already know the ins and outs. So what happened to Cheng Li before, it was you who did it, right?"

They are all smart people, Xie Xun didn't want to hide it: "It's me."

His face was as deep as water, and he had already made all preparations. Even if Qi Rong would put pressure on him, he would not feel that he had done anything wrong.

If you insist on saying wrong, it means that you are still moving too slowly. If you can make a decision before the honeymoon, maybe it will be much easier.

"Well done." Qi Rong's first words were actually this.

"I said, well done." Qi Rong repeated, "You are really different from what I thought."

"Xiaocheng was afraid and hated Cheng Li since he was a child, but he was always unwilling to tell me. After all, this is the Cheng family's family affairs. If he doesn't speak up, I can't interfere too much." Qi Rong said, "So I'm very happy You're willing to do it for him, and I won't blame you for it."

"However—" she changed the subject, "You shouldn't let him take risks. I'm sorry for your injury, but you have also seen that Xiaocheng will make choices for you without hesitation. You promised me, even if It’s acting, but also to ensure his safety.”

Contrary to Qi Rong's expectations, Xie Xun did not refute: "This is indeed my problem."

Qi Rong was startled, and her tone slowed down a bit: "I may have spoken a bit harshly just now. But since you answered the phone, I also want to thank you by the way."

"I know you don't like him, and I can actually see that my Xiaocheng has completely changed since meeting you, but this is a change for the better. I am very relieved and will not stop it.

"So, if you have any troubles in the future, you can come to me. You don't have to worry, since the beginning has already been started, the rest will be easy to solve." Qi Rong said calmly, "I will help you, as long as you are willing to accompany him .”

"I understand what you mean." Xie Xun said, while looking at the garden not far away.

Cheng Cheng had already finished his breakfast, and he didn't mind what he was talking about with Qi Rong at all, he was facing the rockery with a smile on his face.

"But..." Xie Xun's hands unconsciously squeezed the phone tightly, and his eyes became firm, as if telling Qi Rong, and telling himself.

"I didn't act."

He said.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Xun walked to the garden at the door and found Cheng Cheng: "I've already talked to your grandma. She won't blame you anymore."

Cheng Cheng's eyes were bright, he was out of breath when he got up, and his pupils were wet, as if filled with today's morning dew.

He suddenly grabbed his hand, glanced at the gardener who was watering beside him, and said, "Thank you, Bao..."

"Thank you!"

After speaking, he let go of his hand and ran away in a hurry.

Xie Xun looked at the back of the other party, and suddenly felt that his previous worries were mediocrity.

Why are you suddenly shy in front of others?

But before the smile disappeared from his mouth, Cheng Cheng suddenly ran back mysteriously: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

"what happened?"

"It's my grandmother's birthday party in two days. Although she doesn't want to talk to me today, I'm definitely going. And to reassure her, you will accompany me when the time comes."

Cheng Cheng didn't actually ask "Is it okay" or "Is it okay", but Xie Xun still responded softly: "Yeah."

In the next few days, Xie Xun was busy dealing with the other tails left by Cheng Li's incident, and turned around for several days.

When he finally found time, and the injury on his arm healed a lot, he went to the hospital to visit Xie Ling.

The little girl doesn't need to know these complicated things. During this period of time, her condition has been stable. When Xie Xun came in, she was actually reviewing with her classmates.

Xie Xun felt that the sun really came out from the west, but he was relieved: "Why are you working so hard all of a sudden?"

Xie Ling had a natural expression: "Because I figured it out, I have to study hard!"

Every time she spoke in such a tone, she felt guilty, Xie Xun peeled a pear and handed it to her, without saying a word.

Seeing her brother's attitude, the little girl who has been working hard for a long time is very dissatisfied: "Really! My scores in the self-test in the past two months are higher than before, okay, if you don't believe me, go—"

She stopped talking immediately after she finished speaking, but it was too late, Xie Xun asked slowly: "Why don't you believe me?"

"It's nothing." Xie Ling kept his mouth shut.

Xie Xun had an idea in his mind, and tentatively said, "I know everything. Cheng Cheng said..."

"Ah? Didn't Brother Cheng Cheng say that this is between me and him—" Realizing that he had been tricked, Xie Ling looked terrified, but since he opened his mouth it was too late, so he had to admit, "Well, he promised me before that I would Every time I improve my self-test results, I will be given a gift."

Xie Xun paused when he wiped his hands: "Every time?"

He thought that Cheng Cheng would visit Xie Ling once or twice, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be more times than he expected.

Xie Ling glanced at him cautiously.

In the end, under the authority of my brother, I finally stood up and opened the cabinet and confessed to be lenient: "It's nothing, he came to see me before your honeymoon, and then came regularly, and told me not to tell you, but every time Will bring presents…”

Just before the honeymoon...?

Xie Xun pursed his lips, seeing his younger sister who had been "instigated" explain the facts one by one.

So...he actually did so many things behind his back?

And he still doesn't want to tell himself.

Xie Ling observed his expression, and felt that he had to say good things for his sister-in-law after accepting her benefits: "And brother, he is very nice every time he comes, and he will say good things about you. I remember that I seemed to be talking to you before. ever said?"

The little girl who is less than 15 years old said very seriously: "When you like someone, your eyes can't deceive you."

Coming out from Xie Ling, Xie Xun, who was rushing back, sat alone in the car for a long time.

There's so much going on these days that sometimes he doesn't even have time to think about it.

The answer is already clear, isn't it?

From that late night, Liang Fan's words, Qi Rong's words, and now his sister's words.

Everyone gave exactly the same answer.

I actually hesitated for so long because of a sentence the other party concealed.

He opened the sunroof on the roof and looked at the scattered stars in the sky.

It's all right, he told himself.

He can take a few more steps forward, guide him a little more, and take the initiative a little more.

He is very patient and knows that this day is not too far away.

Soon it was Qi Rong's birthday.

Cheng Cheng has been bored drawing in his room these days, and he finally finished all of them yesterday.

It takes a lot of time and effort to complete a painting. After Cheng Cheng came here, except for the one in the church, this is the work he put the most effort into.

He knew that the original owner didn't like art, and Qi Rong would definitely be puzzled after sending it out.

But in any case, she is indeed the only relative in this world who cares about her.

He asked Uncle Liu to carry the painting into the car, and after getting dressed, he knocked on the door of Xie Xun's room.

Since the "good brother" last time, Xie Xun seems to have been very busy, and sometimes he can talk to him a few words in a day.

The door opened, and Xie Xun stood at the door looking at him.

"I..." Cheng Cheng's eyes dodged a little, "I'm here to pick out a tie for you. Didn't you say last time that you can let me decide on ties in the future?"

"Ah."

Xie Xun let him in sideways and said "OK".

But this time Cheng Cheng chose a bow tie for a long time, and finally chose a bow tie: "This one goes better with your clothes."

He handed it to Xie Xun.

However, the other party didn't answer, just looked at him: "Won't you help me put it on?"

"Ah? Oh, oh..." Cheng Cheng's face was a little red, he was wearing a white suit today, which made his complexion even more white, and the blush was especially obvious.

He lowered his head and breathed a little irregularly: "Then just wait a moment."

The two were very close, and Cheng Cheng's fingers accidentally touched Xie Xun's Adam's apple, and subconsciously withdrew his hand, but before he retracted, his fingertips were grabbed by the other party.

Xie Xun's tone was calm: "It's not fastened yet, it's a little crooked."

The place held by the other party was a little hot, and Cheng Cheng even breathed a little lighter. After confirming that it was fastened, he immediately took two steps away: "Okay!"

He always felt that Xie Xun seemed to have changed somewhere.

Xie Xun didn't press too hard, just looked at the person two steps away: "Okay, let's go."

Qi Rong's birthday was not a big event, but the people who were invited were all famous people. When Cheng Cheng and Xie Xun arrived, the dinner party was about to start.

"Uncle Liu, wait for you to arrange someone to send the painting over." Cheng Cheng got out of the car and said, then glanced at Xie Xun, and said, "Then, then you..."

Play with me again?

Cheng Cheng held back the originally relaxed words for a while but still couldn't say them out.

Fortunately, Xie Xun seemed to understand what he meant, and nodded: "I know."

Cheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to hold Xie Xun's arm like they did when they had their wedding, but he heard him say, "The injury on my hand is not fully healed yet."

"Oh, then I..." Cheng Cheng just wanted to say, I'll switch sides, but before he walked over, he suddenly felt that his five fingers were being held by the other party.

Although the two actually had physical contact from time to time, most of the time it was him who pulled Xie Xun, but now...

Xie Xun's big hand brushed against his palm and came over, and then grasped it firmly, but it was not over yet, the other's five fingers involuntarily squeezed apart Cheng Cheng's, and every finger stuck to his——

It's a very intimate interlocking of fingers.

"Aren't you going to find your grandma? Go in."

Cheng Cheng's heart was still beating wildly, when he heard Xie Xun speak naturally.

"Okay...Okay." He couldn't think fully, so he had to let the other party lead him and walk in.

When Qi Rong saw the two of them, there was a moment of astonishment on his face, but he soon walked over with a smile.

"Grandma!" Cheng Cheng smiled, "I brought you a gift, I drew it myself!"

Qi Rong smiled gracefully: "Okay, okay, Xiao Cheng has grown up."

Seeing Xie Xun beside him, he also nodded and said, "Mr. Xie is good."

Xie Xun also responded to her.

Before all the guests arrived, Qi Rong still had to greet others: "Xiao Cheng, the dinner party hasn't started yet, I have reserved seats for you, but if you feel noisy and want to take a rest first, you can go to the lounge at the back of the hall first .”

"Good grandma!" Cheng Cheng smiled at her sensiblely.

"Go."

After saying hello to Qi Rong, Cheng Cheng wanted to take a rest, he raised his head and asked Xie Xun, "Do you want to sit first or..."

"It will be all right."

It's all right, just listen to Cheng Cheng, so he went to Qi Rong's lounge with Xie Xun unceremoniously.

As soon as the door was opened, most of the noise outside was cut off. There was a leather sofa and some desserts and snacks in the middle, so Cheng Cheng walked over and sat down.

When they got here, the two let go of their hands. Cheng Cheng didn't dare to look at Xie Xun, so he focused on eating the cake.

The temperature of the air conditioner here is turned on appropriately, and Cheng Cheng has been busy drawing birthday presents for Qi Rong these few days, so he didn't have a good rest, and started to feel sleepy after sitting for a while.

He looked at Xie Xun at the side: "Well, let me lie down for a while, and you will call me when it starts?"

"it is good."

Due to limited conditions, Cheng Cheng half leaned on the sofa, took off his coat and covered it up, and began to doze off.

His drowsiness came violently, and although his posture was a bit strange, he quickly closed his eyes and breathed lightly and slowly.

Xie Xun looked at the person in front of him.

As I thought, from before going out to now.

He will still find a bow tie for himself, and tie it carefully for himself.

He didn't push away the hand he was holding.

Xie Xun only felt that the entire chest was full, as if it contained something soft and warm.

Cheng Cheng always looks undefended when sleeping in front of him, completely trusting himself.

He felt that he had gained a lot today.

But there is another voice in my heart, saying that it is not enough, not enough.

In fact, he wasn't in a hurry, but this moment was so beautiful that he didn't want to waste it.

He saw the person leaning on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed, his slender eyelashes trembling, his nose was delicate, and his lips were moist and beautiful.

Xie Xun's heart beat uncontrollably.

One click, one click.

The whole world is saying to itself, he really loves you.

It seems reasonable to advance a little interest in advance.

He seemed to be bewitched, and slowly squatted in front of the other party, his movements were very light, and his eyes were gentle.

He slowly approached, feeling the other person's breath, finally leaned slightly, and stayed on the other's bright red soft lips for a very short moment.

This moment is enough.

Xie Xun felt that he had done something wrong, but he felt a throbbing that he had never felt before.His heart was fluttering, he was obviously anxious, but at the moment he was unbelievably happy.

He stood up, terrified of what else he would do if he stayed.

He wanted to go out for some air.

After taking one last look at Cheng Cheng, he turned the doorknob and walked out.

The moment Xie Xun closed the door, the person who was dozing off suddenly opened his eyes.
