The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

Huo Chuxiao glanced at the two of them, and said calmly, "I know you."

Implicit, unfamiliar.

After speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by someone behind him.

"Early night."

Qi Lang was still sitting, while leisurely stirring the mushroom soup in hand with a spoon, while lazily raising his eyelids to look at him.

"How long has passed, and we met again. It seems that you and I are still so destined."

Qin Huai relied on his years of experience as a boss to make predictions, and he was a boss not to be trifled with.He didn't understand how such a peaceful and low-key person like Huo Chuxiao would provoke such a person, but he subconsciously felt a sense of crisis.

Taking a step forward, Boss Qin extended his hand generously, and said, "What a coincidence, are you also Chu Xiao's friend?"

Only then did Qi Lang give a look to the man standing beside Huo Chuxiao.

At this time, they come to the restaurant for dinner together, and judging from the attitude of the manager on duty, the two of them probably often come to eat together.Qi Lang identified his identity almost immediately.

Didn't it mean that Huo Chuxiao is married? This is probably that person.

Qi Lang shook hands back, and said contemptuously: "Qi Lang, Chuxiao's... best classmate in middle school."

"Qin Huai."

Boss Qin didn't like him, so his self-introduction was brief, but his pretentious attitude made Qi Lang firm in his guess.

It seems that it is only a mediocre level, and it is almost meaningless when he is an opponent.

So Qi Lang deliberately said: "Since there is such a fate, why don't we eat together. We just finished ordering." There was a strong provocation in his eyes, and Qin Huai frowned when he saw it, as if he was sitting on a poker table, facing each other. She looked him in the face and asked if he would follow.

"Do not……"

"Okay."

Huo Chuxiao was about to refuse, but Qin Huai took the first step, and he glanced at the other party with a little dissatisfaction.

However, Qin Huai has already opened the dining chair for him.

Once a man is provoked, it's too easy to act the facts, even if he is as calm and refined as Boss Qin, he will not be spared.

He comforted Huo Chuxiao: "It's fun to eat together, and aren't you old classmates you haven't seen for many years?"

But he doesn't like excitement at all...

The boss Huo Chuxiao reluctantly sat in the opposite corner of Qi Lang, and he could always feel the almost naked eyes of the other party looking at him, which made him restless.

The exchange of words between Qin Huai and Qi Lang was even more boring.

"How did you and Chuxiao meet?"

"Work, I'm his boss."

Qi Lang was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, this kind of relationship is indeed very attractive to Huo Chuxiao.After all, in his eyes, Huo Chuxiao is a poor person waiting to be rescued at any time, hoping that someone can help him and tell him what to do and what not to do.The relationship between subordinates and subordinates is simply not suitable.

In Huo Chuxiao's heart back then, wasn't he aloof?The whole class is isolating him alone, only if he is willing to condescend, talking with him is already like a gift.

And yet there are complex emotions mingled with the "I just knew it" complacency.

It's like being taken away from something that belongs to you.

It's not that Qi Lang hasn't thought about Huo Chuxiao in the past few years abroad. After all, although the two of them ended badly back then, they still had good memories. He would occasionally think of this stupid little idiot and him in the school's Tianguang studio, thinking seriously To teach him how to arrange lines and compose pictures, at that time, he was also distracted, looking at Huo Chuxiao's beautiful neck exposed from his fat school uniform, the tiny mole between his eyebrows, and the white fingers holding the sketch pencil like sections of bamboo knots. ...

He was the most popular in school, and took the initiative to get close to Huo Chuxiao, who was the least popular. The process was filled with taboo and chaotic joy, as if the two of them shouldn't have any intersection at all.

It’s just that there are too many things to be happy in his world, and after going abroad, he has become very popular in the social circle. Huo Chuxiao is just the most inconspicuous old rabbit doll in his toy cabinet for entertainment. .

Because of the ashes of his own hands, because he spent a period of time with him, it would be a pity to throw it away directly. After it is boring, if someone comes to snatch it, it will arouse a possessive desire that far surpasses his love for himself.

He thought that there was no one who could get close to Huo Chuxiao like him, so he had no contact with Huo Chuxiao these years, and he didn't worry about it at all.

He thought it would be difficult for a dull and introverted person like Huo Chuxiao to forget him.

But the little rabbit that no one wanted actually married someone else...

And the most important point is that Huo Chuxiao now looks much better than in middle school. He still has a unique youthful look, but he is much more confident than before. Cowardly, as if without his affirmation, he was not even sure which leg to take first when walking.

However, the current Huo Chuxiao didn't even bother to look at him after he sat down.

Qi Lang was a little surprised that the indifferent Huo Chuxiao was very attractive to him.You could even say, charming.

This makes his "married" status look even more glaring.

Qin Huai took the menu, ordered a few dishes very naturally, and explained to Qi Lang with an attitude towards customers: "Chu Xiao usually comes to their house, and I like to eat these dishes the most."

Qi Lang also returned him a nonchalant smile: "Is that so? Chu Xiao's taste hasn't changed at all over the years, and he still likes sweets. Like me, he misses the old days."

Boss Qin closed the menu with a snap, "Even if you like sweets, the tastes of ten years ago and ten years later will never be the same. There will always be some subtle differences. Mr. Qi and Chu Xiao haven't seen each other for many years, so it seems that they don't know much about it. gone."

Qi Lang took a sip of the wine gracefully, "Everyone knows how to taste something new. But there are some things that won't change in ten years."

The two men showed false smiles to each other, and they secretly said to each other: Fuck, match.

As the most unlucky person on the edge of the dinner table, Zhang Ji couldn't get in even if he wanted to. He squeezed sweat in his hands, watching the two men swaying over there, and then looked at Huo Chuxiao who was sitting directly in front of him. Playing with mobile phone.

Huo Chuxiao felt his head buzzing when he heard the ambiguity between the two of them.Forget it, Qin Huai has always been overly enthusiastic about himself. He has always interpreted this as a way for the boss to win over his employees. After all, since he returned to the painting circle, many studios have been secretly Want to poach a corner, especially after the news spread that he signed up for the Ilya Grand Prix, he would receive a recruitment invitation in the mailbox every now and then.

So Boss Qin invites him to have a working meal every now and then, which should be a trick commonly used by the management... right?Teacher Huo didn't understand, but he felt that the logical chain of his guess was quite consistent.So [-]% of them are like this, yes!

As for Qi Lang...

Mentioning this person will inevitably bring up memories from many years ago.

Huo Chuxiao didn't want to fall into memories.He didn't miss the bad years before his awakening.

Including the self who was still trapped in the vortex of physique that everyone hated in high school and couldn't extricate himself.

He is a very lonely person by nature, but his parents hate him the most when he is alone.Sometimes he quietly looks at the sky alone in the small courtyard of his home, counting the stars in the sky, and when his mother sees him like that, she will be furious and scold him for having problems in his heart, who will he pretend to be depressed for?Raising such a big son is like a mute at home...

So the teenage Huo Chuxiao has an almost allergic resistance to loneliness.

But no one at school likes him.In fact, with his quiet personality, he is at best a borderline little transparent with no sense of existence in school, and has no grievances or enmities with his classmates.The problem, however, is not his words and deeds.

He has always attended a private elite school, which is exclusively for wealthy families, has high tuition fees, and is a part-time student.No one cares more about the so-called origin and family background than the students here.Unfortunately, Huo Chuxiao happened to be a child who was rejected by the family.

Disgusting meant that Huo Chuxiao's parents were unwilling to take the time to come to the parent-teacher meeting, which was only once a semester, and instead sent a live-in nanny to attend instead of the two of them.

After the parent-teacher conference, the whole grade knew about it.His classmates viciously speculated that he was an illegitimate child, and the isolation began from then on.

The loneliness that Huo Chuxiao fears the most is like the darkness of night swallowing up his entire life.

The only person in the school who has a preference for him is the art teacher, who kindly tells him that even if there is no art class, he can come to the studio at any time.So Huo Chuxiao spent almost half of his school time hiding there alone.

In those three years that almost faded, the only one who approached him proactively was Qi Lang.

Even in the end he learned that it was all because of a silly bet between boys.

He was passed down by his classmates as an illegitimate child with psychological problems, like a beast in the jungle, so terrifying that he could be used by adolescent boys as a choice for big adventures.

Qi Lang was the unlucky guy who was forced to take a big risk.

He chose to be friends with Huo Chuxiao for a month.

Thinking about it now, it's all very vicious things.The follow-up development also exceeded everyone's imagination, so Huo Chuxiao knew that after that incident, some students in the class looked at him with a gloomy sense of guilt in addition to exclusion.It's just that no one has the guts to apologize to him.

And Huo Chuxiao didn't wait for that apology, because he didn't intend to forgive anyone.

After graduation, he cut off contact with everyone, including Qi Lang who had gone abroad at that time.

He was also the only one who did not receive a contact number from the old squad leader, but was directly notified by the school's academic affairs office to return to school to participate in the school celebration.

Now he is living a comfortable life, who wants to get in touch with this group of people again!

Huo Chuxiao didn't want to have dinner with Qi Lang at all, and Qin Huai obviously didn't know about the past, and was still asking him what his staple food was.

He also didn't want to explain to Qin Huai that this was a private matter, how could he tell outsiders...

Huo Chuxiao was really distressed for a while, swiping his phone aimlessly, hoping that something would happen suddenly to save himself from the situation in front of him.

For example, 120 called, saying that his father was overworked and fainted in the office, and was being sent to the hospital...

Or call 110, saying that his house is on fire...

Huo Chuxiao's finger moved across a name in the address book, and his heart skipped a beat.

That's right, he can ask Ji Zongming to help him pretend to call himself, and say that the house is on fire, water leaks, gas leaks... Isn't that how it is done in TV dramas?

Moreover, Ji Zongming was also a soldier, so he was an uncle of the People's Liberation Army.Didn't everyone say that if you encounter a problem, you should go to the PLA?

Uncle Ji is such a nice person, he will definitely help.

Going ahead, Huo Chuxiao glanced at the people around him to confirm that Zhang Ji was distracted, and those two were still confronting each other, so no one noticed him for a while.

He sent Ji Zongming a "sos".

Received a reply within 1 minute.

Ji Zongming:?

Huo Chuxiao: Give me a call and tell me the house is on fire and you want me to go back.

Ji Zongming:?

Ji Zongming: What are you doing?

Huo Chuxiao said in his heart that this person was annoying, and he had no choice but to patiently explain his current situation.

Unexpectedly, this time Ji Zongming replied in seconds.

Ji Zongming: Wait for me, right away.

Huo Chuxiao tightly clutched the phone, ready to answer the call at any time.Unexpectedly, after 5 minutes, nothing happened.

Ji Zongming, you are unreliable!

Teacher Huo was angry alone silently, and began to think of other ways by the way.

However, in the next second, he heard the manager on duty say to a VIP who just came in: "Mr. Ji, today is also..."

The man simply waved his hand, motioning the manager on duty to shut up.

Then he went straight to a table for four, with a cold and cold temperament, and said condescendingly:

"Huo Chuxiao, come home with me."

Huo Chuxiao raised his head and met Ji Zongming's eyes that were not angry but powerful.

Except that the other three people were in complete condition, only Qin Huai reacted a little bit and maintained a smile: "Boss Ji? Why, come to check the post?"

Ji Zongming glanced at him sideways, thinking that Huo Chuxiao just filed a complaint, saying that he was the one who kept him here, and he didn't give him any good face, so he snorted coldly and didn't talk to him.

Qi Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, he just recalled where he had seen this face before.

It was the time when he was climbing the mountain, the only person who stared at him with hostility when he talked to Huo Chuxiao.

So what is the situation now?What is his relationship with Huo Chuxiao?

Huo Chuxiao packed up early, stood up without burden, and was about to leave with Ji Zongming.

Only then did Qi Lang finally react, and he also stood up.

"Wait, where did you come from again? Didn't you see that we were having dinner together? Just take people away so casually?"

Ji Zongming looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person, and said coldly: "Is there a problem with the legal husband who appeared on his household registration book? Next time, don't just pretend to be acquainted and have dinner with Huo Chuxiao. Otherwise, I will meet him once and bring him He walks once."

Qi Lang was startled, "Legal husband?" He suddenly turned to look at Qin Huai, but saw that the other party was already embarrassed.

Grass, why did another pop out!

He and this imaginary enemy confronted Maimang just now, and he could clearly feel Qin Huai's thoughts on Huo Chuxiao, now that Cheng Yaojin suddenly came out, could it be...

Qi Lang never expected that Huo Chuxiao would be so popular?

Well, there are already two competitors. The hardware condition of this newcomer seems to be okay, and he can compete with him, at least he has a sense of threat than Qin Huai.

Husband or not, he, Qi Lang, has never been unable to get the person he wants.

Huo Chuxiao's popularity aroused his desire to hunt even more.He couldn't even wait to see how this "legal husband" would react when he knew about his past with Huo Chuxiao.

Qi Lang smiled playfully, and made a hand gesture, "Then see you later. Chuxiao, good night."

He said this to Huo Chuxiao, but the person who answered was Ji Zongming.

"Leave this to your people, and don't worry about other people's legal partners."

After Boss Ji finished speaking, he led the people out.

Qi Lang sat down with a livid face, but Qin Huai was happy to watch the excitement.

Boss Qin Shi Shiran took a sip of sake, and said calmly: "You are surprised, the marriage partner in Chuxiao has that temper, just get used to it."

Qi Lang's attention was instantly attracted: "Marriage?"

Qin Huai didn't speak any more, but showed a meaningful smile.

OK, if the water gets muddied a bit, he doesn't mind more competitors.Anyway, Chu Xiao has no feelings for anyone now, in other words, everyone is on the same starting line.

Qin Huai thought, there is nothing wrong with sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Huo Chuxiao has never missed that off-road vehicle so much as now.

As soon as he sat in the passenger seat, he said: "Drive quickly and go home."

In front of him, Ji Zongming had already disarmed the fighting aura that was armed to the teeth just now, and said with a smile: "Run for your life?"

Huo Chuxiao sighed tiredly, "It's almost there."

Hearing this, Ji Zongming glanced at him and smiled.

The message Huo Chuxiao sent him just now was very general, only saying that he was taken by Qin Huai and forced to eat with someone he didn't like in this restaurant and wanted to run away.But he didn't say a word, who is the person he doesn't like.

It was also a coincidence that he happened to be off work and was on his way back. Hearing this, he hurried over and saw Huo Chuxiao through the glass of the restaurant.

The second time he saw Qi Lang sitting opposite him.

Boss Ji's aura was full in an instant, like a leopard patrolling its territory.

It never occurred to him that the person Huo Chuxiao didn't like was actually Qi Lang.

After all, Huo Chuxiao told him not long ago that Qi Lang was his first love.

I can't mention this matter, and when I mention it, Boss Ji starts to feel bored and irritable again.

He tugged at his collar and said irritably, "How did you meet him?"

Huo Chuxiao knew who he was talking about, and replied, "I'm unlucky."

Ji Zongming laughed when he heard it.Nothing else, as long as he heard Huo Chuxiao showing negative emotions towards Qi Lang, he felt happy.

"Well, it's quite unlucky. But why did you think of asking me to save you?"

He was faintly delighted when he asked this question, he always felt as if his brand had been turned over...

Hiss, what a crazy idea!

Ji Zongming realized what he was thinking just now, and immediately felt uncomfortable, and glanced at Huo Chuxiao guiltily. Fortunately, this guy couldn't hear what he was thinking in his heart.

Huo Chuxiao seemed to think that he asked a nonsense question, and said calmly: "Didn't everyone say that if you have something, you can find Uncle Liberation Army?"

"Bah—!"

A sudden brake off-road, a severe pause in the middle of the unimpeded road, startled the cars behind.

"..."

Boss Ji was completely speechless.

He was so stupid, really, thinking that this great artist with a weird brain circuit could give him some surprise answers.

He really owed it, really, to have been choked so many times by Huo Chuxiao's non-surprising words, and he was not afraid of death to meet him.

Maybe, men just love to abuse themselves.

Boss Ji felt that he was a bit of a mess. He closed his eyes and gave up on himself: "Well, I was indeed a fucking PLA. You are very enlightened, Comrade Huo Chuxiao!"

Teacher Huo thought it was a top-notch compliment, and there was a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that smile, Ji Zongming sighed in his heart again.Forget it, as long as he is happy.

As a result, Huo Chuxiao suddenly frowned again, Ji Zongming saw it, and immediately said: "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Huo, who was very conscious, turned his head to look at him seriously, and said, "I'm hungry."

Ji Zongming: "...It's all in the basement of the community, and you just remembered to tell me this?"

Huo Chuxiao: "Forget it, I'll order takeaway."

"What takeaway to order?" Boss Ji raised his eyebrows and said domineeringly, "Stay honest at home and eat whatever I do."

Huo Chuxiao recalled the dish that Ji Zongming cooked with his own hands last time, "Well, that's fine."

Damn, Boss Ji's belligerent instinct was immediately provoked, and the meal he cooked himself was rated as "okay" by this kid! ?

See if you can feed him to death.

Facts have proved that Boss Ji is not good at cooking, but very good at it.

Because Huo Chuxiao was hungry, he made a quick decision and made a simple fatty beef rice. It took 15 minutes to finish. Huo Chuxiao ate up a whole bowl of rice, and even returned half a bowl.

It simply set a new record for the amount of food he ate this year.

Ji Zongming looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Alright?"

Huo Chuxiao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ji Zongming was obviously pleased by his subtle expression.

When you are in a good mood, you have time to chat and talk about topics that are easy to make people feel bad.

"You and Qi Lang..." Ji Zongming lowered his eyes and said casually, "Hey, have you been in contact with each other these years? Or..."

On the contrary, Huo Chuxiao was frank, or he didn't take it seriously at all, and said: "After the confession was rejected, he didn't speak. Later, he went abroad, and he didn't meet again."

Ji Zongming was so embarrassed that he even scratched his head subconsciously, as if he was not very good at handling such topics.

"You really liked him then?"

Huo Chuxiao thought for a while, and said honestly: "I don't know. I didn't have many friends in high school, and Qi Lang was one of the few people who took the initiative to chat with me. Maybe, I just mistook my dependence for liking. After all, I see him now It's just disgusting."

However, Ji Zongming completely ignored the second half of the sentence.He repeated: "Dependence?"

My heart suddenly became sour.

Even if they are just friends, he seems to be much more reliable than Qi Lang, why don't you see Huo Chuxiao relying on him?

After finally sending a message to ask for help, it's because of his status as a former People's Liberation Army.

Huo Chuxiao nodded, "I used to have low self-esteem, and I especially longed for someone to give me some affirmation. Maybe there was no Qi Lang at that time, and if it was replaced by any random person, he would talk to me and praise my paintings, and I would treat that person Feel differently. But now it's different."

Ji Zongming originally heard the first half, but he was a little touched in his heart. He remembered the Huo family's strange attitude towards Huo Chuxiao, and wondered if he had met Huo Chuxiao at that time, would he also be the one who talked to him? ?

But even he was resistant to Huo Chuxiao at first, speculating on him from the worst angle, forcing him to accuse him of crimes that obviously did not exist...

For the first time, Ji Zongming felt his heart soften.An emotion called guilt haunts me.

Hearing Huo Chuxiao's change of subject, he subconsciously asked, "What now?"

Huo Chuxiao said flatly: "Now, I don't care what anyone thinks. It's good to live alone."

Hearing the sentence "living alone", Ji Zongming suddenly thought of their one-year agreement.His heart beat was wrong for an instant, and Ji Zongming actually felt the fear and panic he felt when he participated in the military exercise for the first time.

He didn't know exactly what was going to happen next.Even if someone had already explained it clearly to him.

But before everything happened, he was in a huge mess of doubts.

Can't feel real.

A year later, will they...will they really part?

Huo Chuxiao didn't notice his astonishment at all, but put down his chopsticks and said with satisfaction: "I'm full."
