I became a substitute for my brother

That's what he said, but the meal was delivered to him, and there was no reason to throw it away and not eat it. If he didn't eat it, he would starve, and he was the one who suffered.

Tao Xin told himself that it was all in order not to delay work in the afternoon. He picked up the chopsticks and ate it. It tasted really good, and he didn't know which restaurant's chef he found to make it.

Seeing that Tao Xin had eaten, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his phone and sent a text message.After a while, seeing that Tao Xin had finished eating, he stepped forward to put away the lunch box, put it in an insulated bag, and carried it downstairs.

Downstairs in the lobby, Qin Rui was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, the assistant ran over, handed him the bag respectfully, and said, "It's all finished."

Qin Rui asked: "Did he say anything?"

The assistant thought for a while, "I didn't say anything."

Qin Rui lowered his eyes.

"Oh, right!"

The assistant suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Qin Rui raised his eyelids to look at him, and heard him say: "Someone asked Mr. Tao who brought the rice, and Mr. Tao said it was from his home. Someone wanted to ask Mr. Tao for a bite. Mr. Tao I never let it go, I ate it all by myself."

After Qin Rui heard this, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Your bonus will be doubled this month."

The assistant was shocked when he heard that, "Really?"

"Well," Qin Rui stood up, "Call your account at the end of the month."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Rui strode out, got into the car briskly, and drove away.

The next day, Tao Xin ate the special meal delivered by Qin Rui again. He stared at the familiar glass boxes and stared straight at the assistant, "What benefits did he give you?"

The assistant didn't dare to say that, but said vaguely: "Boss Qin said that your feet are still not healed. I'm afraid you've worked too hard. These dishes are for you."

Tao Xin frowned, "He delivered it himself?"

"Yes," the assistant said, "I'm still downstairs, I'll send the box down after you finish eating."

Tao Xin stared at the colorful and pretty dishes in the box for a while, then picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

After the meal, the assistant sent the box down as usual, Qin Rui asked the same thing as the day before after receiving it: "Did he say anything?"

After the assistant finished speaking, Qin Rui left after listening.

It was still the same on the third day, Tao Xin didn't even bother to ask, and waved to the assistant to leave after eating, looking annoyed.

After five or six days like this, when it was time to join the group, Qin Rui worked diligently to deliver meals until the last day, but he didn't even show up, and he was very calm.The night before departure, Tao Xin was packing her luggage at home when she received a call from Qin Rui, "Come down."

Tao Xin paused, walked to the window and looked down, saw the familiar black car and the familiar figure standing beside the car, "What are you doing at night?"

Qin Rui looked up, the floor was too high, people upstairs could see him, but he couldn't, "I have something to tell you."

Tao Xin said, "Call me if you have anything to say."

"I can't tell on the phone."

"Then don't talk about it." Tao Xin hung up the phone and went back to the cloakroom to continue tidying up.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door in the living room. Tao Xin closed her eyes and took a deep breath, allowing the knock to last for half a minute before opening the door.After the door opened, he glared fiercely at the man outside, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Qin Rui's tall body stood straight at the door, looking down at him, "Let me go in and talk."

Tao Xin stared at him, and after a few seconds, he turned around abruptly as if in compromise, without closing the door, Qin Rui curled his lips and entered the room.

He stood in the entrance for a while, seeing that Tao Xin didn't intend to bring him slippers, so he opened the shoe cabinet and found a pair of unopened slippers to change into, and followed Tao Xin to the door of the cloakroom.

Tao Xin sat cross-legged on the ground and packed clothes into the suitcase one by one, ignoring him. Qin Rui stood at the door and looked at him without saying a word.After an unknown amount of time, Qin Rui came over and squatted opposite him and said, "I'll help you."

Tao Xin didn't look at him, nor refused, and made up his mind to treat him as air.

Qin Rui picked up a piece of fabric that was randomly thrown in a corner, Tao Xin saw it, her face flushed, she snatched it and held it in her palm, "You pervert!"

Qin Rui's eyes were still on the pair of underwear, "Sorry, I didn't see it."

Tao Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and put the underwear into a box, "Don't make trouble."

Qin Rui didn't dare to move.

After a while, Qin Rui said, "What time is the plane tomorrow?"

"Ten o'clock." Tao Xin said an approximate time.

Qin Rui was speechless after listening.

Tao Xin raised her head after finishing cleaning up, "It's getting late, you should go back."

Qin Rui shook his head, then suddenly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around the back of his neck, and said, "I have a few words to say."

His palm was warm and strong, and he pressed against Tao Xin tightly, his fingers inserted into his hair, and even his scalp felt the warmth.

Qin Rui said: "Father and little dad gave me a vacation, let me concentrate on pursuing you."

Tao Xin was taken aback, as if she didn't understand, "What?"

Qin Rui said: "I told my dad about my thoughts, and my dad said he supported our decision and would not interfere or obstruct it."

Tao Xin looked at him, digested it for a long time before saying: "What are your... thoughts?"

Qin Rui said: "I told them that I fell in love with my younger brother."

There was a bang in Tao Xin's head, everything around her was blurred, something hit her head hard, and only one sentence hovered around, "I fell in love with my younger brother."

He felt like he was dreaming and couldn't believe it.He stared blankly at the man in front of him, opened his lips again and again, and finally asked, "What did you say?"

Qin Rui exerted a little force on the palm of his hand, and turned his head towards himself, "I said, I fell in love with my younger brother, do you understand?"

Tao Xin slammed his hand away and stood up from the ground, lowered his head and glared at him, "Are you crazy?"

Qin Rui frowned. This was different from what he had imagined. He originally thought that Tao Xin would be surprised, and then he would be happy after being surprised. result.

He embraced the back of Tao Xin's head again, and leaned forward to kiss his lips. Tao Xin froze for a moment, opened her mouth and bit his lower lip forcefully, and the bloody smell immediately filled their mouths. Tao Xin pushed him away and ran away. Go to the door and open the door, ruthlessly chased away, "You go out."

Qin Rui couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment, but he didn't want to make him more angry. He licked his lips, stood up and walked in front of Tao Xin, saying, "I'm serious about what I said."

Tao Xin turned her face away from him, but her ears were flushed with anger. Qin Rui put his hand on the top of his head and rubbed it, put on his shoes, turned and went out.

Tao Xin closed the door, leaned against the door in a state of prostration, and slowly slid to the ground. He hugged his legs, buried his face deeply in his knees, and his mind was in a terrific mess.

He doesn't doubt the truth of Qin Rui's words, Qin Rui won't lie, he understands him, if he says "in love", then he must be in love, but why?After six years, why did it take him so long to say this sentence?
