Drop

They broke up peacefully, and when the takeaway arrived, they still sat at the same table to eat.

They've had dinner together many times, but this is the first time they've had takeout.Qin Xu unpacked the takeaway packages and placed them neatly. He broke the disposable chopsticks and handed them to Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi: "Thank you."

Qin Xu talked about Qin Rui's waking up, and felt that the Qin family would usher in another wave of storms: "My father is also a well-known business talent abroad, and my brother and I hope that the other party can inherit the family business. Since Qin Rui has woken up, I won't associate with the Qin family anymore."

Zuo Chi nodded: "Your mother, father, you and your brother are a family."

Qin Xu was a little depressed: "I don't know how the Qin family will deal with Qin Xuan."

Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows: "Qin Xuan?"

Qin Xu: "Didn't Sheng Li tell you yet? Your car accident and Qin Rui's car accident the year before last were both conspired by Qin Xuan."

Surprise was written on Zuo Chi's face. He and Qin Xuan were in the same class for three years, and there was no such thing as a deep friendship between classmates. It was just that he didn't expect Qin Xuan to do such a crime.

He suddenly remembered what Qin Xuan had said to him when he saw Qin Xuan at the funeral of Mr. Qin.

"They are all hypocritical towards grandpa, respecting him for his power and money, but I am not. I can't figure it out, how come grandpa never sees me?"

"He was still thinking about his elder brother until he died. He said that it would be fine if nothing happened to his elder brother. He said that the Qin family is in such a chaotic state that he can't go away at ease."

"I thought you could understand me, we are all excluded from the family."

Everything seems incredible, but also seems to be traceable.Jealousy, unwillingness, and resentment are the most corrosive things.

Zuo Chi knew that many people in this circle didn't understand why he didn't fight with Zuo Lie.

He's heard a lot of things like that—

"You are the serious young master of the Zuo family. How can Zuo Lie, an illegitimate son, inherit the family business?"

"Zuo Lie is a waste, are you afraid that you can't compete with him?"

"Anyway, you and Zuo Lie are both surnamed Zuo, so you can share some house and cash."

He used to feel that it was unfair, he blamed Zuo Lie for taking his position, and thought that it would be good if Zuo Lie disappeared.

But if he is determined to fight with Zuo Lie, it means that he will be instructed by Zuo Yi and Shu Qingyu in his life in the future.

He had had enough and didn't want to live like that again.

"Qin Xuan will of course be punished by law." Zuo Chi said, "Qin Rui will not allow those who harmed him to have a chance to appear in front of him."

"That's good." Qin Xu said, "Chi, I'm sorry for getting you involved."

Zuo Chi: "Don't say I'm sorry. Am I all right?"

After eating, Qin Xu cleaned up the mess after the meal, and when he was about to leave, he still carried a bag of garbage.

Zuo Chi was a little embarrassed: "I can throw it myself."

Qin Xu: "Just by the way."

Zuo Chi wanted to send him downstairs, but Qin Xu refused. He looked at Zuo Chi, still a little sad in his heart: "Go to rest early, and try to heal your injury as soon as possible."

Zuo Chi stopped in front of the door, watched Qin Xu walk around the corner, and waited until there was no one left before closing the door.

Before going to bed, Zuo Chi took out the things in the suitcase and put them back in their original places. When he walked into the cinema room, he realized that there was something extra beside the sofa.

It was a record player, and it was the same brand as the one he gave Sheng Li, but the style was quite different.Walnut wood is retro and classic, with beautiful grain and texture, and the metal embellishment makes it more textured.

He took a closer look and saw his name engraved on the disc mat.Zuo Chi gently stroked the engraved mark and sighed.

On the day of the car accident, Sheng Li called him, probably because he wanted to say happy birthday to him.

Cheng Xiangwan was right, it took more courage to turn back than to give up.Zuo Chi remembered that on his 25th birthday, he called Sheng Li's friends one by one to ask where Sheng Li was, but he didn't wait for Sheng Li to say "Happy Birthday".A year has passed, but he still remembers how cold the weather was that day, how lonely he was sitting in the convenience store alone, and the little cake he ate was so sweet that it was cloying.

When he wavered, scenes would appear in his mind, recalling the embarrassment and humiliation Sheng Li had given him.He didn't want to experience heartbreak again.

After being completely hurt, he turns around and likes the person who hurt him once again. Is he cheap? Shameless.

Zuo Chi knew that he could leave Sheng Li, without Sheng Li, his day would still be 24 hours a day, he was still busy and full, but as long as Sheng Li appeared in front of him, he would care, lose his mind, and couldn't help it focus on.In the most beautiful fantasy in his heart, there is always the shadow of Sheng Li.Sheng Li can always easily touch his heartstrings, make him laugh, annoy him, and bewilder him.

Liking is supposed to be a joy, but unequal liking will bring endless torture to the one who pays more.Deciding to give up requires reason to overcome emotion to end the torment, but wanting to turn back requires reason and emotion to achieve a certain balance to measure whether what is waiting for him in the future is torture or happiness.

The next day, Sheng Li called to tell Zuo Chi the result of the car accident investigation, and found that Zuo Chi was very calm, and asked, "Did Qin Xu tell you?"

Zuo Chi: "Yes."

Sheng Li immediately asked, "Have you had dinner together?"

Zuo Chi: "Yes."

Sheng Li: "What are you eating?"

Zuo Chi: "...it's none of your business."

Sheng Li's heart throbbed when he thought of his discussion with Qin Yanren about investing in Zuochi Company at Qin's house, and Zuochi and Qin Xu having dinner together.

But there is no way, everything is his will.

"It's none of my business, I'll just ask." Sheng Li's voice became softer, "Don't be so harsh on me."

Was he just fierce?Zuo Chi cleared his throat: "How did you get the evidence?"

Sheng Li told the whole story of his investigation in detail, and couldn't hold back his voice: "How is it? I'm still a little smart."

Zuo Chi: "Well, smart. I don't know who is always at the bottom of the exam."

Sheng Li defended: "I didn't focus on studying! If I am willing to learn, maybe I can go to the same university as you."

Zuo Chi: "I didn't focus on my studies, why are you still pestering me to make up lessons? Didn't you deliberately waste my time?"

Sheng Li: "I just want to stay with you after school."

The blunt words made Zuo Chi's heart tremble, and he didn't know how to answer.

Zuo Chi's silence made Sheng Li flustered: "Achi, in the last semester of high school, Sheng Changyu said that if I failed to pass the undergraduate course, he would send me abroad. At that time, I thought, I can't go abroad, and I can't go abroad often. I met you, so I studied desperately and tried my best to stay in China."

Zuo Chi thought, but at that time he hoped that Sheng Li could go abroad, so he could use time and distance to cut off unrealistic thoughts in his heart.If Sheng Li had left the country, maybe everything would have been different.

"I'm usually a bit of a fool, but I will do what I set my mind to." Sheng Li said seriously, "Look at what happened this time, I can do something for you."

Zuo Chi: "Are you asking for credit?"

Sheng Li quickly said: "It's not asking for credit! Everything I do is because I want to do it, and I don't want to put pressure on you."

Sheng Li: "Achi, I'm in your heart, do you still lose points now?"

"When did I give you a score?" In his heart, Sheng Li is Sheng Li, and his behavior cannot be measured by scores.Sometimes he is stupid, sometimes smart, sometimes cute, sometimes hateful, sometimes he is very kind to him, but sometimes he leaves him.

The assistant was knocking on the door, Zuo Chi wanted to hang up the phone: "We're not talking anymore."

Sheng Li: "Wait..."

Zuo Chi's hand has already pressed the red hang up button one step faster: "..."

"Isn't your company short of project start-up funds, I..." Sheng Li realized that the phone had been hung up, and he talked to the phone desktop for several minutes.

Depend on.

He felt aggrieved, why Zuo Chi was so impatient with him.

--------------------

When Qin Xu bought slippers, he bought white rabbit ears and pink pig noses. When he bought balloons, he chose strawberry bears.

But Zuo Chi couldn't get his "girly heart", Zuo Chi's evaluation of him was gentle and considerate blalalala, but not "cute".
