why are they still in love

Chapter 44

When Xiao Chining woke up, his side was empty.He didn't know whether it was because he drank too much and fell asleep, or Xiao Zhaoshan didn't get up and get dressed too quietly, but he unexpectedly slept for eight hours in one breath, without a dream all night.

He straightened his legs and rolled, sniffing the smell of Xiao Zhaoshan on the quilt and pillow, and didn't get up slowly until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Although Qiu Yin scolded him for many years, Xiao Chining still failed to develop the habit of folding quilts.He touched the dent on the bed, thinking, why should he erase the evidence that he and Xiao Zhaoshan were together, he should take a photo and send it to Chi Yan, and explain to her how they kissed yesterday and fell asleep cuddled together of.

But he didn't do it in the end, because he remembered Chen Yu again.

Moreover, besides the Chen Yu he knew, Xiao Zhaoshan must have brought others back, and must have kissed and made love with others on this bed, hugged and slept in love.

Tch, shit couples, shit loyalty, shit love, no one cares.They even tacitly demarcated their respective boundaries, Chi Yan did not bring anyone back, Xiao Zhaoshan did not spend the night outside, in the euphemistic name of respecting each other.

Xiao Chining's good mood was completely destroyed, and he immediately fled the garbage dump as if getting out of bed to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

He drenched in hot water, squeezed a little shower gel into the palm of his hand, took it to his nose and smelled it carefully.

It's just an ordinary floral fragrance, the kind that women like, the kind that Chi Yan would choose, it has nothing special.

He washed his hands in disgust, and searched the shelves again, but he still couldn't find any sandalwood-style toiletries.

It's strange, why does Xiao Zhaoshan have this kind of fragrance on his body?

He couldn't think of an answer.

Xiao Chining took a shower absently, took his mobile phone and went downstairs to charge it.

The curtains were not drawn downstairs, and the light was very bright. He sat on the sofa for a while, feeling bored to death.

He wanted to go out to skateboard, but he couldn't convince himself to move, and he wanted to eat but didn't know how to order takeaway.In the end, he took the medicine prescribed by the hospital and decided to call Xiao Zhaoshan to pass the time.

Xiao Zhaoshan quickly answered the phone, Xiao Chining lay down and asked him what he was doing, Xiao Zhaoshan replied that he was doing something.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Chining asked.

"Why are you asking so many questions, come to work for me?" Xiao Zhaoshan waved his assistant to go out, and then asked him, "What time do you wake up, have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Chining looked at the ceiling: "No, let's eat together when Dad comes back."

Xiao Zhaoshan looked at the computer: "I have something to do at night, you eat yours."

Xiao Chining raised his hand, and his five fingers opened and closed meaninglessly in the air.

"I don't know what to eat, I don't want to cook, I don't want to eat takeaway."

"If you want to starve to death, just say so."

Xiao Zhaoshan tucked his phone between his ears and shoulders and focused on two tasks. After reviewing the interview draft sent by his assistant an hour ago, he replied on WeChat: "Send this version to the magazine."

Xiao Chi Ning smiled: "I didn't want to starve to death, I finally became No.1, I don't want to die."

When Xiao Zhaoshan received an assistant asking him if he needed to contact a few million-followed KOLs to promote his comeback, he couldn't help but find it ridiculous, but he still typed on the keyboard and wrote: "If the style matches the field, the others will not be considered. Let They wrote the promotion idea and showed me in advance, if the effect is good, the price is not a problem.”

After typing this sentence, he replied to Xiao Chining: "Drink porridge and nourish your stomach."

Xiao Chining heard that he had an inexplicable pause, thinking that he was just thinking about what to eat, and immediately felt better physically and mentally.

"But I don't have money to buy porridge."

Xiao Zhaoshan browsed the KOL list and said, "I'll call you. What's the Alipay account number?"

Xiao Chining browsed the nearby takeaways, and replied: "I only accept WeChat, what is your WeChat ID?"

Xiao Zhaoshan picked up the phone, and looked at the call time displayed on the screen rather strangely.

"You can find it by searching my phone number."

Xiao Chining pressed the speakerphone, turned over and lay down on the sofa, and clicked on WeChat.

"Dad, I just found out that I can recite your mobile phone number."

The list of KOLs is very long and the content is too complicated, Xiao Zhaoshan turned his eyes away from the computer, rubbed the Qingming acupoint, and planned to get rid of Xiao Chining before working.

He leaned back in his chair and said coldly, "Is this surprising?"

"Isn't this surprising?" Xiao Chining entered Xiao Zhaoshan's mobile phone number in the search box, "We rarely contact each other, I don't even know how I remember it."

Xiao Zhaoshan laughed at him: "Didn't you say you really like me, shouldn't you remember my phone number?"

Xiao Chining responded without losing the wind: "You still say that I am No.1 in your heart, do you remember my mobile phone number?"

Xiao Zhaoshan immediately recited the eleven numbers fluently: "Do you think I can remember them?"

Xiao Chining on the other end was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"You will always know less than what you see, and what you see will always be less than what others do. In the future, don't speculate on others, such as me." Xiao Zhaoshan said.

Xiao Chining said awkwardly: "I just, still can't believe it... I'm actually very important to you, Dad."

"Then convince yourself quickly."

It was getting late, and after dealing with the matter at hand, there was still an appointment. Xiao Zhaoshan was about to hang up the phone.

He sat up straight and urged, "How much does it cost to eat, I'll transfer you."

Xiao Chining poked the "Add" button: "I just sent the application, Dad, have you seen me?"

Before the words were finished, the WeChat on the computer here "ding".

"I saw it."

Xiao Zhaoshan clicked on the application list, and the first one was Xiao Chining whose profile picture was black and whose name was "Cyniccccc".

He also specially remarked a sentence: "I believe I am your precious son Xiao Ning."

Xiao Zhaoshan pretended not to see it, and asked directly: "What kind of profile picture is this? It has been changed."

"What avatar, this is an ordinary avatar." Xiao Chining was surprised, "Dad, you don't allow me to use pure black because your avatar is colorful?"

Xiao Zhaoshan's head portrait is a close-up of the palette that he took casually while he was practicing in private, and there is nothing else in the shot except various paints.

"Dead people use black. Get something lively," he ordered.

Xiao Chining understood, his father thought it was unlucky.

"What is lively? Dad, please send me a picture, and I will change it right away."

Xiao Zhaoshan passed the application and assigned Xiao Chining to the family group.

From the day when this group was established until yesterday, there was only Chi Yan alone.

"Find it yourself." He noted Xiao Chining's name and said, "You even know cynicism, but don't you know what is lively?"

Xiao Chining turned off the hands-free with a smile, and changed his posture back to lying flat.

He put his feet up on the back of the sofa and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, Dad is so amazing, how do you know everything? When I was in Hangzhou, I added a stranger who shared a table, and he asked me if my WeChat name was me. English name."

Xiao Zhaoshan also laughed when he heard this: "The stranger who shared the table? I think it's your friend."

"It was a stranger at the table first, and then it became a friend." Xiao Chining asked expectantly, "Are you jealous?"

Xiao Zhaoshan felt it for a while, but he didn't seem to have any special emotions.

He has never been jealous of others, and has always believed that it is an expression of inferiority, an early warning signal that the relationship will eventually break down.He still doesn't understand how this kind of psychology can become a catalyst for love.

"Why should I be jealous?" he asked back.

"Because I slept with other people."

"so what?"

"So there is a high possibility that I have loved them too." Xiao Chining lowered his legs and became serious, "I have loved others before, Dad, would you be jealous?"

Xiao Zhaoshan said: "I don't think this kind of sex-only love is worthy of my envy."

He asked: "Xiao Chining, are you sure you really loved them?"

Xiao Chining was silent for a while with a gloomy face, then he suddenly grinned: "You may not believe me, but Dad, you are my first love."

Xiao Zhaoshan gave a "hmm", noncommittal.

"But Dad, you have loved others, Chi Yan, and those people I don't know." Xiao Chining looked sideways at his own shadow reflected on the TV, and said softly, "I will be jealous of them."

Xiao Zhaoshan raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"Yes." Xiao Chining sighed, "I can't be your first love anymore, and I'm afraid I can't be your only one either."

"It's just a matter of time." Xiao Zhaoshan somehow didn't want him to pay too much attention to this matter, "If you are in your 40s now, you will find that first love and only one is a fantasy."

"But I'm not, I'm only seventeen." Xiao Chining seemed to hear his inner voice, "If you don't care about it now, when should you care about it? When you're seven or eighty years old, the only thing left to do is to recall your life ?"

Xiao Zhaoshan was persuaded by him, but he knew he couldn't do it.

"But I'm not seventeen." He said, "Xiao Chining, we still need some time to understand each other."

Xiao Chining sighed with his mouth curled up, and gave in: "Okay. Then don't talk to Chi Yan until we understand each other."

Xiao Zhaoshan wanted to laugh: "You hate the person I choose so much?"

"Yes, I hate it to death." Xiao Chining replied bluntly, "Why did you have such bad eyesight before? Why did you find me such a mother?"

"At that time, I just wanted to find a wife, and I didn't think about what kind of mother I would find for my children. I thought I would never have children in my life."

"Oh, okay, it's okay, don't repeat that I was an accident. Pay money to the accident, the accident is hungry, and the accident needs to eat."

It was only then that Xiao Zhaoshan remembered that the original intention of adding Xiao Chining's WeChat account was to transfer money to him.

Where did it start to go wrong? He followed Xiao Chining unknowingly to a distance of [-] miles, so far that he forgot that he just wanted to transfer a sum of money.

"How much?"

"five hundred."

"Do you want abalone porridge?"

"That's right." Xiao Chining lowered his voice, "I'll fuck you up!"

When Xiao Zhaoshan saw that his true colors were revealed, he was not only not angry, but also felt a little relieved.

This is Xiao Chining, he thought.

"Okay, try to see if you can drink me down."

"Which is the most expensive restaurant in Beijing? I'm going to order a table of Man Han Banquet tomorrow."

"Go, Hana Chuan Minoji, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, pick any one."

"Is Dad so willing?"

"Aren't you my precious son, Xiao Ning?" Xiao Zhaoshan raised the corner of his mouth and knocked on the table, "If you grow some meat, don't hug it like a bone, otherwise my money will be wasted."

Where did Xiao Chining enjoy this kind of treatment, he was quite uncomfortable, curled up on the sofa unconsciously, and muttered: "Dad, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"

Xiao Zhaoshan paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "One, it wasn't sudden, and two, it wasn't too good. Your health and life are more important than anything else."

Xiao Chining didn't know how he hung up the phone, how he ordered takeaway seafood porridge, and how he rolled to the corner of the sofa.When the light on the phone screen went out, he only saw a boy smiling uncontrollably, extremely happy and strange.

He was stunned.

As if frightened, he covered the back of the phone on the sofa, turned over and shrank between the pillows, and pressed the corner of his mouth, his face suddenly turned cold.

As the date of comeback approached, Xiao Zhaoshan delegated more and more arduous work to that leopard—his new assistant, in order not to startle the enemy, so that he could spare time in the evening to invite Dong Xin to have a meal.

He needs Yue Zezhang to know about this matter.So he specially asked Leopard to drive him there in the name of "I want to catch up with old friends, and I guess I will drink."

Leopard is a sensible person. Apart from answering the progress of the work in the gallery, he never takes the initiative to inquire about his privacy. The journey is very quiet.

It's rare for Xiao Zhaoshan not to drive by himself, but to sit in the passenger seat and play with his mobile phone at ease.He clicked on WeChat, and after talking to Dong Xin about tonight's matters, he clicked on the dialog box with Xiao Chining.

Xiao Chining's profile picture was refreshed, and the pure black became a remake of an old photo he was familiar with.

Xiao Zhaoshan had a bad feeling.

He clicked on the big picture, and sure enough, he found that the one in this photo was none other than himself who was wearing a loose shirt and light-colored jeans many years ago, standing at the entrance of the university with a smile on his face to celebrate his admission.

When he was on a business trip, he stopped by his mother-in-law's home in Hangzhou a few times. If I remember correctly, this is the photo that Qiu Yin put in that home.

"Change the current avatar for me."

He really convinced Xiao Chining.

Xiao Chining replied in seconds: "Dad, didn't you say you should be more lively?"

He resolutely refused to change: "I think the current one is very lively and very cute."
