lack of love

Chapter 30 Reconciliation

"So, you just accept this slap obediently?" Yan Hao raised Zhong Qiran's chin, and gently wiped the cool medicated oil on his cheeks with his fingertips.Yan's mother's hands were not weak under the anger, and the half of Zhong Qiran's face that was beaten was swollen badly.

He hissed, not sure whether it was the pain in the wound or the oil was too cold, but he still remembered to answer Yan Hao's words, "Someone has to give in first. Your mother cares about face, if I don't show kindness first, I'm afraid we will never reconcile for the rest of our lives."

Yan Hao stared at his face without speaking.

Zhong Qiran said with a smile: "Do you love me?"

"Of course." Yan Hao said in a very serious tone: "Although it may be unfair to you to say this, I still hope you don't blame her. She has spent her whole life on my father and me, and all her thoughts are Going around with us, I can't say she is a good mother-in-law, but at least she is a good mother. Once she treats you as a family member, she will be very defensive."

The two are very close, but at the moment they are not ambiguous at all.Although they are partners, they are sometimes as close as family.

Zhong Qiran carefully observed Yan Hao's expression, and suddenly asked: "When you said these words, didn't you feel anything?"

He can feel Yan Hao's progress, but sometimes he feels that the progress has stagnated.Yan Hao said such words because he understands these reasons and understands the painstaking efforts of his parents, but Zhong Qiran has no way of knowing how much emotion is involved in it.Most of the time, Yan Hao actually looks on like an outsider, only caring about things related to himself.He always felt that Yan Hao poured all his incomplete feelings into himself, so he couldn't share more with others.

"A little bit, but not much." Yan Hao admitted frankly: "It's like the air that can't be grasped. You can feel the caress of the wind, but you can't touch it. Only when you are by my side, I will have power."

Zhong Qi stopped talking.

"When I understood it before, I never thought about it deliberately. I didn't realize this feeling was hard-won until I lost it." Yan Hao recalled the reactions of people around him, and described his understanding these days.

Zhong Qi laughed helplessly, "It seems like you can't do without me."

"Yes." Yan Hao replied quickly, without any hesitation, "So you are destined to stay by my side for the rest of your life."

The next morning after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a big quarrel, a family of four sat at the dining table to have breakfast.

In the past, Yan's mother would always find excuses to refuse to share the table with Zhong Qiran, but today she sat silently in her seat and did not leave the table early.It was rare that there was no smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere at the table seemed a little delicate.

Zhong Qiran's face hadn't subsided from the swelling, and it wasn't beautiful, so he put a breathable gauze on his face to cover it up.He broke the silence and said first, "Mom and Dad, good morning."

Father Yan's hand holding the newspaper trembled, his eyes swept across the faces of Zhong Qiran and Yan Hao, and finally returned to his wife.He came home late from a dinner party last night, so he didn't know what happened at home.

Yan's mother didn't look at Zhong Qiran, but she still bowed her head and hummed, pretending to respond casually.She caught a glimpse of Yan's father looking at herself with a strange look. She didn't know whether she felt embarrassed or couldn't get off the stage, so she bumped him with her elbow, "What are you looking at? Eat your breakfast."

Father Yan came back to his senses immediately, and asked the clock: "What's wrong with your face?"

Mother Yan's hand holding the cup froze slightly.

Zhong Qiran quickly replied: "It's nothing, I accidentally hurt myself when I fell down yesterday."

I'm afraid you have to touch the ground face first to do it.

Father Yan hummed, but he didn't expose the lie that was full of loopholes.A man is working hard outside, and Tude is just a family with food and clothing, and a happy life. It doesn't matter whether you want to continue to get to the bottom of it.The important thing is that he can see that the tension between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has eased.

Yan's mother secretly glanced at Zhong Qiran, and quickly looked away.

For such a result, Zhong Qiran is already satisfied, and it may take a while for Yan's mother to accept him.But take your time.

Afterwards, Li Qi took the time to meet Zhong Qiran again.

Zhong Qiran still had gauze on his face, such an obvious position, it was hard for people to ignore it.

When Li Qi saw his face, he was surprised, and the first thing he said was: "I remember that Siqiao shouldn't hit so hard."

Zhong Qi was stunned, but now that he thought about it, he realized that Yan's mother and Lian Siqiao happened to hit the same side of the face.He suddenly felt like laughing, but after seeing Li Qi's nervous look, he was no longer in the mood to joke, "It's not him."

Seeing Li Qi's relieved look, he remembered to ask about his relationship with Lian Siqiao.

Li Qi kept silent before, and Zhong Qiran didn't ask.Now, he also knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, and admitted that Lian Siqiao was his ex-boyfriend.

Li Qi didn't know that they were just acting, and he still misunderstood that Lian Siqiao liked Yan Hao.

Zhong Qiran listened quietly for a while, and without explaining first, he just asked: "What happened later?"

"It's nothing." Li Qi seemed to have no confidence in his words, and under Zhong Qiran's suspicious gaze, he added: "I just kissed him."

"and then?"

"After being slapped by him, he ran away."

Zhong Qiran didn't know what to say.A small misunderstanding, the stalemate between the two has not been resolved until now, which shows that there is a problem with their way of getting along.He probably guessed Li Qi's intention to invite him out, and said bluntly, "Do you want to chase him back?"

Li Qi didn't hesitate this time, and replied, "I think so."

Zhong Qiran nodded, and only then did he explain the misunderstanding clearly.If Li Qi had shown hesitation or denial just now, he probably would not have helped to clarify this misunderstanding.If a person has no determination, it is useless to say more.He owed Lian Siqiao a favor, and he was friends with Li Qi, so no matter who he helped, it would be difficult for him.But after thinking about it, he still sold Lian Siqiao.

Whether he can get him back depends on Li Qi himself.

The confrontation with Yan's mother has stopped, and it just so happens that the work at hand has also come to an end.

The customer came to visit the company this day, and there was a dinner in the evening.Yan Hao inevitably needs to entertain, but Zhong Qiran didn't expect that the client would call him too.

He was originally behind the scenes, but he just asked some small questions on a certain analysis report of the client, and the other party remembered him.

As a company employee, it's not surprising that Zhong Qiran accompanies his boss to socialize.It's just that he can't drink, so he usually pushes as much as he can.But since the customer called the roll call, he couldn't refuse.He glanced at Yan Hao, Yan Hao didn't say anything, but his eyes seemed to indicate that I was here.

That night, Zhong Qi quickly died from drinking, and the others were naturally not much better, almost all fell into one piece.

Yan Hao got used to socializing, drank a lot, at least his consciousness was still clear.

At the end of the show, he still remembered to call a car to send the client away first, and then helped Zhong Qi up to go home together in another car.

Zhong Qiran seemed to be awake when he was drunk, but he was very quiet.But after getting in the car, he started to be dishonest, holding Yan Hao with both hands, and leaning his body against him.

The driver smelled the alcohol on the two of them, and he had already made up his mind. There are all kinds of drunk people, and they have long been familiar with it, and asked calmly, "Where are you going?"

Yan Hao lowered his head and glanced at Zhong Qiran, he didn't say the address to go home, but reported the name of a hotel.His expression is too serious, even if he is hugged by another man, there is no ambiguity at all, and it will not make people think in other directions.

The driver responded, looked away from the rearview mirror, and did not look at the two of them again.

And Zhong Qiran's hand was restlessly attached to Yan Hao's thigh, and he was about to touch his crotch.
