For the favor of Mr. Shen

"Hey, little brat."

Shi Yiqing's heart skipped a beat.

If Tan Xiaoli was standing there, he wouldn't be so nervous.

Because Liu Yicheng is silent, but also keen.

There are quite a few fellow artists in this circle, and most of them have a certain sensitivity to this. Shi Yiqing has a hunch that he already knows.

Not even from now on.

Shi Yiqing packed her schoolbag and walked into the community.

"Ah Qing." Liu Yicheng called him, he just went to the small supermarket in the community to buy something, when he came back, he passed by the gate and saw Shi Yiqing and Shen Mu getting off the car.

Shi Yiqing put away the panic just now, and greeted with a smile: "Uncle Liu, how is my mother?"

Liu Yicheng: "I'm not in a good mood, maybe it's because of my heart. Today I always feel very uncomfortable. I just took some tranquilizing medicine and fell asleep."

Shi Yiqing nodded, and followed Liu Yicheng towards the house.

Just when Shi Yiqing thought that Liu Yicheng would pretend that he didn't see anything and didn't know anything and just passed by, Liu Yicheng stopped him in the fitness area next to the unit building.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yiqing knew that his eyes were starting to fluster.

Liu Yicheng is also a little hesitant. He has always been emotionally casual in his life, and he will not discriminate against any sexual orientation. He has all kinds of friends, and everyone gets along as usual.

Even if Shi Yiqing likes men, he doesn't think it's a big deal, and he can still help to persuade Tan Xiaoli.

But if the other party was Shen Mu, even he would find it difficult to accept it.

Liu Yicheng took out a pack of cigarettes from the plastic bag, took out one and lit it.

"If you have anything to say to me, I think maybe I can give you some advice, or we can have some better ways to prevent the people who love you from being hurt too much."

Shi Yiqing: "Why would someone be hurt? It's none of their business."

Liu Yicheng lowered his eyes slightly, then took a puff of cigarette and looked at Shi Yiqing: "Ah Qing, you are not that kind of kid, we both know you."

There was a moment of silence, no one spoke for a long time, the cigarette in Liu Yicheng's hand had already burned to the end.

He threw the cigarette butt into the smoke extinguisher of the trash can: "Okay, go home. No matter what, your spirit will always be free."

"Uncle Liu." Shi Yiqing called to stop him.

Liu Yicheng turned his head and stood in front of him.

"It seems that something is wrong with me, and I don't know how to deal with it. It's like crossing a river at night. I can't see my feet, and my eyes are hazy. But if I don't cross the river, the river will rise and I will suffocate."

Shi Yiqing looked up at Liu Yicheng: "Can you understand?"

"That's what I thought." Liu Yicheng said.

This could not be finished in a few words, and the two walked to the gazebo next to them and sat down.

"Ah Qing, when did you have such thoughts about him?" Liu Yicheng asked.

"I do not know."

Liu Yicheng frowned, and had the most important question. He hesitated for a while before asking: "Has he ever done anything to you beyond the status of uncle and nephew?"

"No!" Shi Yiqing didn't expect Liu Yicheng to ask this, how could Uncle Shen do such a thing, he was insulting Uncle Shen.

Liu Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what is your relationship now?"

Shi Yiqing lowered his head: "It doesn't matter, this is my one-sided psychopath."

"You can't say that about yourself." Liu Yicheng stopped him.

Shi Yiqing didn't speak, there were always mosquitoes dancing tango on his arm, he could hit two with one slap.

Liu Yicheng: "Hide this matter well in advance, is that okay? Xiaoli can't stand this kind of stimulation now, you are still young, it is normal to have psychological attachment to Shen Mu, you will gradually understand in the future."

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm a joke for 3 minutes?"

"Don't get excited." Liu Yicheng realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and said to him: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, but I don't want you to get too involved. You are the only one with a long life."

Shi Yiqing turned his head slightly, not wanting to talk to Liu Yicheng anymore.

Why?Why do you think that your favorite is children playing around?

Only Shi Yiqing knew how serious he was.

In the elevator upstairs, Liu Yicheng called again in a low voice: "Ah Qing."

Shi Yiqing said in a low voice: "I know, I will hide it in the gutter."

Liu Yicheng sighed, knowing that what he said just now had angered him, so he didn't continue to tangle with him.

Both of them knew that the most important thing right now was Tan Xiaoli's illness, and Shi Yiqing would definitely not make trouble at such a time to make Tan Xiaoli unhappy.

Health is more important than anything else.

The house was quiet, Tan Xiaoli and Liu Huaizhi were already asleep, Shi Yiqing went back to his room lightly, not daring to pack his things for fear of waking them up.

Curled up in the blanket and wanted to send some messages to Uncle Shen, to ask him if he found a place to live?Say thank you for your hard work.

But because of the conversation with Liu Yicheng, a veil was cast over his heart.

In the end, Shen Mu took the initiative to send him the name of the hotel, saying that he had already stayed and would come to visit him tomorrow.

Shi Yiqing didn't sleep well that night, and was always awakened by dreams, but after waking up, he couldn't remember what was in the dream.

Sleep all over sticky.

At five o'clock, the sky turned white, Shi Yiqing simply didn't sleep, got up and took a shower.

Usually no one in the family wakes up at this time, but when Shi Yiqing came out of the bathroom, he saw Tan Xiaoli sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The living room is very spacious, with a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the direction of the sunrise. It was the first time in Shi Yiqing's life that he looked at Tan Xiaoli carefully.

Her back looks so thin and thin. In my impression, my mother is always in a hurry, and she is quick to do things and has a temper.Not very tall but can lift heavy things.

Shi Yiqing felt ashamed of her soft heart.

Perhaps Shi Yiqing didn't care about Tan Xiaoli at a certain time, but a six or seven-year-old child was abandoned by his mother, and there was always some resentment hidden in his heart.

"Mom." Shi Yiqing walked over slowly and called her.

Tan Xiaoli turned her head and saw that it was Shi Yiqing: "Why are you back? Aren't you going to Thailand today? What time is the plane? Don't wait until you miss the plane. You won't be able to go."

She is always like this, and if she cares, she also needs to add blame, which makes people feel uncomfortable when she stops.

Shi Yiqing sighed inaudibly: "I'm not going."

Tan Xiaoli: "Why??"

After she finished speaking, she realized that Shi Yiqing must have known it. She stared at Shi Yiqing for a while, then turned her head and continued to look at the gradually dyed clouds in the sky.

"Mom," Shi Yiqing sat down beside her, "It's okay, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, the cure rate is very high, we must keep our moods at ease."

Tan Xiaoli shook her head slightly, but hummed.

She didn't know that no matter how bad her relationship with Shi Yiqing was, she could only go so far. She was thinking of supporting Shi Yiqing to finish college, and with the blessing of Liu Yicheng's connections, she could be considered a foothold in society. Atonement.

Like Shi Yiqing is now, letting go of her own arrangements and coming back to be with her makes her feel uncomfortable.

He was kind to herself, and it would only make her feel that she was really too much back then.

Shi Yiqing didn't say much either. Although they lived together for a year and a half, their emotional attachment didn't increase at all.

On the contrary, it was Tan Xiaoli's strong personality that made Shi Yiqing resist.

Just be with her now, as others said, no matter what, Tan Xiaoli is always her biological mother, and no one can change this.

Today is a good day. With the sunrise, the clouds on the horizon are rendered in a mild orange-yellow color, as if gold powder has been sprinkled on the clouds, giving it a positive impact.

Sitting with Tan Xiaoli for a long time, she didn't leave until her aunt got up, and Shi Yiqing walked back to her room only to find several messages from Uncle Shen.

He said that the morning glow was beautiful today and took a few photos of him.

He and Uncle Shen were looking at the same morning glow.

Shen Mu wanted to visit her at home, but today Tan Xiaoli has already made arrangements. A friend introduced a doctor, and she will go there for an examination and specify a treatment plan.

After Shi Yiqing finished talking to Shen Mu, she felt sorry for him.

"It's okay, you stay with mom well, I'll go back at noon, I'll save it for your graduation trip, we can go anytime when you have time."

This was the most tiring summer vacation in Shi Yiqing's life.

He was young and strong, and he and Liu Yicheng stayed in the hospital alternately. Tan Xiaoli was going to undergo chemotherapy, and the treatment plan lasted about half a year.

In the early stage, the treatment effect was very good.

Other people's summer vacation is to play, work, learn to drive, travel, Shi Yiqing only has a home and a hospital.

September [-]st was the opening day of Dingzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Tan Xiaoli asked Liu Yicheng to accompany him to report, but Shi Yiqing refused.

"It's still necessary to have an adult to accompany him, besides, he is in Dingzhou City, so he can come back at night, so what are you afraid of?" Tan Xiaoli said.

Shi Yiqing was thinking more than this, "Uncle Shen will accompany me."

Tan Xiaoli was a little helpless, so she had to say: "Is his company finished?"

Shi Yiqing: "Well, it has already started operation."

With permission, Shi Yiqing went downstairs to take a taxi to find Shen Mu.

During the summer vacation, Shen Mu finally started the company, transferred a group of old employees from Yongnan City, and was actively recruiting again.

Now the rented half-floor office building is full of people.

Liu Yicheng is very busy recently, so Shi Yiqing basically stays with Tan Xiaoli in the hospital and has no time to see Uncle Shen.

So it was his first time to come to Shen Mu's company.

He couldn't get in downstairs, so he called Shen Mu.

After a few minutes, a young looking girl ran down. She was wearing decent ol' attire, she seemed not used to wearing high heels, she always felt like spraining her feet when she walked, Shi Yiqing seemed to be holding her heart.

"Are you Ah Qing?" the girl asked him.

Shi Yiqing nodded: "Yes."

The girl finally went to the turnstile and swiped his card: "My name is Wendy, and I'm Mr. Shen's new assistant. He's in a meeting and asked me to come down to pick you up."

"Thank you." Shi Yiqing followed her and waited for the elevator together.

"Are you Mr. Shen's child?" Wendy asked. She didn't know much about not asking about gossip about the boss when she first entered the workplace, but she just felt awkward not talking, so she just found a topic to talk about.

Shi Yiqing: "No, he is... Uncle."

Wendy: "Oh, great, what grade are you in?"

Shi Yiqing: "Freshman."

Wendy: "Wow, it's so big, when do you start school?"

Shi Yiqing: "Today."

Wendy: "Today!? It's already ten o'clock, is it too late? Is it the school in Dingzhou?"

……

The damn elevator took a long, long time to get down, and the two of them talked awkwardly until their foreheads were sweating.

After finally entering the company, Wendy led Shi Yiqing to Shen Mu's office.

"How long will the meeting last?" Shi Yiqing asked.

Wendy poured a glass of water for Shi Yiqing: "I don't know, but Mr. Shen's meetings usually don't take long. It's almost 10 minutes now, and it's expected to end in half an hour at most."

Wendy went out, leaving Shi Yiqing alone in the office.

This office is so simple, it looks a little different from the boss's office seen on TV.

But thinking about it, when he was in Yongnan City, he always sat in the public office area with the employees, and this place is also very good.

The office is against the wall, and the whole side of the glass can see the outside scenery. The night view should be very good at night.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Shi Yiqing felt a little anxious, so he went out to find the toilet, but Wendy wasn't there and he was embarrassed to ask others, so he had to find it slowly by himself.

Walking to the front desk, the lady at the front desk was checking something with the courier, when a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in at the door.

"So handsome..." This was Shi Yiqing's first thought.

He really had never seen such an unspecifically handsome man, and he didn't know how to describe it, even if he was going to be a star, he would not feel inferior.

He also saw that the front desk was busy, and Shi Yiqing was looking at him. The two looked at each other, and he smiled brightly: "Hello, is Mr. Shen here?"

Shi Yiqing: "You are?"

"I'm his friend." The other party came in with a gift box in his hand.

Seeing the traces of make-up on his face, Shi Yiqing became vigilant: "He's in a meeting, wait a minute."

Shi Yiqing's tone was not good, but the other party didn't get angry, he smiled politely and said yes, and asked if the sofa next to him could sit on it.

"Yes, please do as you please." After speaking, Shi Yiqing watched him sit down generously.

When looking at him from top to bottom, Shi Yiqing suddenly felt that he looked familiar, but he was sure that he had never met him before.

But there was no time, and he was in a hurry.

Finally found the bathroom, Shi Yiqing released it fiercely inside, and when the release was over, a picture flashed in his mind.

——Many years ago, Shen Mu accompanied Shi Yiqing here to attend the awards ceremony and party, and it was he who Shen Mu went out to meet in the middle of the night.

Shi Yiqing once saw him from the window.

When I went back, I would pass by the front desk, and before I got there, I heard Uncle Shen's voice.

"Xiao Yao! Haha, long time no see!"

Shi Yiqing trotted over, and the two of them hugged and exchanged greetings, both of them looked very excited and happy.

"Uncle Shen."

The moment Shen Mu heard Shi Yiqing's voice, he bounced away inexplicably as if he had been caught, "Ah Qing, come, let me introduce you, this is Uncle Xiao Yao."

Shi Yiqing withdrew a standard smirk: "Hello, Uncle Xiao Yao."

"Hey, hello, you are Ah Qing." Xiao Yao looked as if he had never met Shi Yiqing just now, with smiling eyes.

Shen Mu took the two to the office, but was stopped by an employee on the way, so Shen Mu went over, and the employee showed him the data on the computer and asked questions, focusing on solving the problem.

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yao, and found that the other party was also looking at him.

For some reason, Shi Yiqing felt that this Xiao Yao was much more difficult to deal with than the previous Xiao Wen, because he was... very likable.

It was obvious that Uncle Shen was really happy to see him.

"Hey, brat." Xiao Yao said.

Shi Yiqing didn't have a good face: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yao looked at the people around him, then leaned over to his ear and whispered, "I'm married, I won't rob you, don't look at me like an angry bird."
