[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

"Why can't you mention math? You were quite proud of me before." Ah Chu teased his younger brother while drinking borscht.

"It doesn't matter if you just say it, but you can't compare it with others." Obviously, in Ah Ci's view, "mathematics is worse than life" is more derogatory than "mathematics is poor", at least the latter did not vividly and clearly express the degree of difference Express it.

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid of the pressure of competition?"

"What kind of competition do I have with Zhui Ming? He is just a kid, he has no ideals to pursue, and he only focuses on his brother."

"Gu Xichao is lucky." Ah Chu said with emotion.

Ah Ci squinted his eyes: "What's the matter? With my little brother, your life is suffering?"

"No, you're fine. If you focus on me, it's quite uncomfortable." The topic of the Gu family brothers is always sensitive. No matter from which angle you analyze it, there is a sense of accusation. Ah Chu simply interrupted Talk about something else, "That's a nice suit, why doesn't it have a tie?"

"I'll keep it until you buy it with me in the afternoon." Ah Ci said it naturally while eating the salad.

Ah Chu laughed: "How do you know I'm free this afternoon?"

"It's been a morning meeting, and I can't give myself a vacation in the afternoon. This boss is too useless."

Ah Chu looked introspective: "Is it too useless, or you are like the boss. Why don't you take over the company, and I can go back to the spring and become a doctor in the hospital."

Ah Ci choked, regretting that he sat on Ah Chu's boss chair with a cigarette in his mouth half an hour ago.Especially the phrase "I'm more of a boss than you, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't do it!" Ah Chu glared at him, "I've worked so hard for so many years, and the company is like my child, so don't worry about letting you control me!"

"Let me take care of Aizhong Aihua, and I haven't seen you worry about it!" Ah Ci complained about him, "The company is more important than the child, right?"

Ah Chu tilted his head and looked at him: "You seem to have a problem with me?"

Ah Ci held the fork and looked at him: "Will you follow me this afternoon?"

"What's so fierce? It's like the king of the mountain snatching Mrs. Yazhai..." Ah Chu curled his lips and made a call, "Hey, Director Yu, I'm sorry, I have something to leave at the moment, let's talk about it another day... no , You are worrying too much, there is no problem with the cooperation, but there are some personal matters to deal with... If you curse me again, you really have to reconsider the investment... Well, that's it, I invite you another day."

Ah Ci watched his brother talking on the phone with a smile on his face, with a smile on his face until the end of the call.

"Is it Yu Qiyang?"

"Yes, I originally asked him to discuss cooperation, but now you have been squeezed out."

"As your younger brother, I am very honored and grateful that you can release customers pigeons for me." Ah Ci said without sincerity, expressing euphemistically, "Don't be too light or heavy or close or far away! With me and you relationship, whoever releases the pigeons should be!" the deep meaning.

"It's good to know how to be grateful." Ah Chu pretended not to understand, and followed his words, "Yu Qiyang has become more and more shrewd in business since he was frustrated in love. If you let his pigeons go, he might have to focus on money." Find it all."

"Frustrated in love?" Ah Ci immediately grasped the key words and asked, "He and Zhong Lang really broke up? When did it happen?"

"It's early, the end of last year."

"Could it be that they didn't get back together after the separation they had years ago?" Ah Ci asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Ah Chu spread his hands: "I thought you knew, and besides, you didn't ask me."

"Didn't you reconcile quickly before? What is the cause of this trouble this time?"

"It seems to be a routine quarrel, nothing new. But this time Zhong Lang couldn't save him, and Yu Qiyang couldn't get off the stage. When he was about to bow his head, Zhong Lang seemed to have found a girlfriend." Ah Chu sighed and shook his head again , "I advised him to stop making troubles before, otherwise, sooner or later, he will not believe in this evil, and think that quarreling is to enhance the relationship!"

"You mean, the decision is in Zhong Lang's hands?"

"The decision-making power has always been in his hands. Yu Qiyang has always faked breaking up to test the stability of the relationship. But in fact, the most vulnerable thing to test is the relationship."

Ah Ci thought for a while, then asked, "What do you think is the chance of them getting back together?"

"It depends on the survival rate of Zhong Lang's new girlfriend." Ah Chu cut a small piece of foie gras, put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes comfortably, and found that his brother was still thinking, so he persuaded, "Don't think about it." , we are outsiders, we can only wait and see what happens." After speaking, he pointed to the plate of filet mignon in front of Ah Ci with a fork, "Only good food and love can't let you down."

Ah Ci obediently lowered his head to cut the steak, and asked casually, "The food is in front of you, where is the love?"

Ah Chu smiled and said: "It's on the bill." After speaking, he called the waiter to come over and pay the bill.

Ah Ci glanced at the bill, it was so expensive that he clicked his tongue, he whispered: "I feel my stomach is convulsing, your love makes people indigestion."

"Then you pay, I can digest it." Ah Chu said it as a matter of course, seeing his younger brother's expression changed, and then he paid the bill with a smile.

……

When he arrived at the shopping mall in the afternoon, Ah Ci was still complaining about the expensive lunch.If you tell him the price when ordering, maybe you have a psychological preparation.The scariest thing is Ah Chu, who only speaks after eating and threatens to ask him to pay.

Ah Chu laughed at him: "How can you be considered a rich second generation? Didn't Dad treat you to a meal that was more expensive than mine before?"

Ah Ci glared at him: "Dad never uses bills to express his father's love!"

Ah Chu smiled wickedly: "He was wrong. You won't understand if you don't express it directly."

Ah Ci walked forward without saying a word, without glancing at the window of the clothing store, he walked straight into the creative gift shop.

Ah Chu tentatively asked: "Are you here to buy a gift for Ai Zhong Aihua?"

"It's rare, you still remember their birthdays." Ah Ci said in a bad tone.

"Do you think I forgot, so you have such a big opinion on me? I didn't forget, I have already ordered children's tables and chairs for them. The table is my gift, and the chair is yours. How about it?"

"Not good, I still want to pick it myself." Ah Ci grabbed a Big Big Wolf's piggy bank from the shelf, weighed it and put it back.

Ah Chu said sourly: "When will you be so caring about choosing a gift for me?"

"Birthday next year." Ah Ci answered quickly, but he didn't have a plan for what to give.But these words are very useful. I can feel that Ah Chu's mood has immediately improved, and he has become more proactive in helping him choose gifts.

"Ah Ci, look." Ah Chu grabbed a plush rabbit doll about 1 meter in length, and the dark bean eyes were full of sternness.

Ah Ci looked at Ah Chu, then at the Rabbit Rabbit, and burst into laughter: "Very good, that's all."

When the clerk helped them pack it, Ah Chu suddenly said, "Remember, you had a similar rabbit doll when you were young, and you couldn't leave it all day long."

"Are you sure?" Ah Ci thought hard for a long time, but he didn't have any impression, "Did you remember correctly? My childhood toys were all in the closet in my father's room. Airplanes, small tanks or something."

Ah Chu lowered his eyes and said nothing.The clerk handed over two toy bunnies tied with ribbons, and they left the mall, each holding one in their arms.

Two days later, the children's desk and chair ordered by Ah Chu arrived.The style is really beautiful, but it is a pity that you need to assemble it yourself.In order to keep the mystery of the gift, the two huddled in the bedroom to do "carpentry work" after dinner.

"Why don't you go to IKEA to pick it? You have to order it online, and you have to install it yourself, what a hassle!" A Ci compared the drawings, complaining while installing the table legs.

"If you like it, don't worry about trouble!" Ah Chu admired the newly installed small chair, and suddenly felt emotional, "Such a huge pile of gifts, it's so unfair! When we celebrated our birthday, the two little troublemakers didn't show any signs of it!"

"They didn't say anything, so it was the best gift." Thinking of the brats hacking at the door in the middle of the night, Ah Ci felt a headache.

……

On the day of Aizhong Aihua's birthday, Ah Chu personally made a cake.After that day, Edward's admiration for his father reached an all-time high.And Aizhong went to preschool with the plush rabbit in her arms, but never took it back.Ah Ci found out after asking, that he passed the gift on to Xia Tian.

"Uncle, Xia Tian is very pitiful. There is no one to play with her when I get home, so I let the little rabbit accompany her." Ai Zhong sat on the back seat of the car, looked into Ah Ci's eyes from the rearview mirror, and said Some nervous.

"You did the right thing. Sharing is a virtue." Ah Ci stopped at the intersection and waited for a red light, then turned around and asked, "Why is no one with Xia Tian? Is her father busy?"

"Well, an uncle is here to pick her up now." Aihua answered, "She's very unhappy."

Ah Ci sighed, and suddenly understood his indescribable mood when Xia Tian left.That is not the telepathy with Ah Chu, but the sympathy with Xia Tian.His childhood was also spent in emptiness in an empty room.

"Uncle, it's green!" Ai Zhong shouted.

"What?" Ah Ci came back to his senses in a daze, and then he heard the horn of the car behind him, only to realize that the green light had turned on early.He hurriedly started the car, and after driving for a while, he said, "Uncle, it's not green, it's the light that's green, please explain clearly next time..."

After arriving home, Ah Ci mentioned Xia Tian's matter to Ah Chu, expressing that he would not mind taking her home again.Ah Chu shook his head, and ended the topic with the phrase "the water poured out by a married daughter".Ah Ci thought about it, and thought it made sense.For Xia, a father-controller, no matter how good the Yang family is, it is not as good as his own, and no matter how handsome the "stand-in" is, it is not as good as his own father.

Ah Ci also suggested: "Then you persuade her father, how can you earn enough money? It is the right thing to spend more time caring about the children."

"Tsk, Ah Ci." Ah Chu tilted his head and looked at him, "I found that you have been very enthusiastic recently, either the brothers of the Gu family, or Zhong Lang and Yu Qiyang, or Xia Tian. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and you can manage them all Is it? It's right to spend more time with elder brother!"

"Don't be so mean when you speak! When I was on vacation, I would go all the way to the company to find you. What else do you want?"

Ah Chu sighed: "Why don't you think we are conjoined? This way we are together even when we take a shower and go to the toilet."

Ah Ci twitched his mouth: "If you want to join the body, it's easy to say! I have handcuffs and restraint belts here. Today we cuffed one hand and foot together. You can make another one for me to see!"

"It's a good idea, I'm looking forward to it." Ah Chu smiled meaningfully.

That night, because the door was closed too tightly, Ai Zhong and Ai Hua didn't get a glimpse of anything.Except Ah Chu Ah Ci, no one knew what happened in the bedroom.It's just that from this day on, Ah Ci never brought home any police equipment such as handcuffs, restraint belts, and police ropes.

The next day, Ah Ci's left wrist became the focus of everyone, which made him very uncomfortable, and he lowered his head to check the position of the watch from time to time.

"Patek Philippe!" Ah Cheng said excitedly, "Take it off, borrow me to wear it to take a photo, and send it on WeChat to show off your wealth."

Ah Ci hurriedly put his hands in his pockets: "Don't take pictures, this one is fake."

"I don't believe it. Your elder brother is so rich that he can let you wear a fake watch to go out? Isn't that a slap in the face!"

"It is indeed fake!" Ah Ci hurried outside, "There is an internal traffic safety meeting in the afternoon, I will remind the boss."

"It's not enough buddies!" Ah Cheng spat at him, "Just put it on, and I can still swallow the watch?"

Ah Ci breathed a sigh of relief when he left the office. If he had known earlier, he would not have snatched Ah Chu's watch to cover it up. Just wrapping it in a few layers of gauze would be better than this.

"What's wrong with your wrist?" Zhong Lang passed by the corridor, pointing to his left hand.

Ah Ci immediately lowered his head to check...very good, the bruise was not exposed: "It's nothing, it's fine."

There was a playful smile on the corner of Zhong Lang's mouth: "Take it easy."

Ah Ci changed the subject uncomfortably: "I heard from Lao Kong that he introduced you to a nurse and you got along well?"

"It's okay." Zhong Lang beckoned him into his office, "But there seems to be something missing, I can't tell."

"Less gunpowder smell?" Ah Ci realized that his answer was a little bit sharp after finishing speaking.

"Maybe." Zhong Lang shrugged and smiled helplessly.

"Is it really impossible for you and Yu Qiyang?" Ah Ci couldn't help asking, "So many years of relationship, can you let go of it?"

Zhong Lang leaned on the chair and pinched the space between his brows: "Thank you, you are the first one to persuade me to make peace. Others have never seen him, but they all know that there is a master in our family who can make troubles. Please advise me to break up early. Okay. I'm also wondering if personality differences are the source of each other's pain."

Ah Ci could tell that Zhong Lang still expected someone to persuade him to make peace, but life was exciting like a roller coaster ride, and it took courage to persevere.He didn't dare to say what was in his heart - I persuaded him because I was afraid that Yu, surnamed Yu, would pester my eldest brother after breaking up.
