Chen Qizhao was reborn and returned to the age of 18 when he was still the wicked little overlord of the Chen family.
At this time, his brother hadn’t experienced a car accident while his par...
It was true that they met again, or rather, they didn’t meet very often at all, and every time they met, Shen Yuhuai’s attire was always different, for example, he didn’t wear glasses today.
Shen Yuhuai was dressed casually, with a suitcase parked next to his legs.
Compared to the dimness of the bar at night and the background of the video chat, Shen Yuhuai's appearance without glasses is more obvious. He has fair skin, handsome features, and even his smile seems to be of a standard amplitude when he speaks.
People who don't know Shen Yuhuai will find him humble and polite, and it's easy to get a liking for him.
But once you get to know Shen Yuhuai, you'll find that behind his politeness lies rejection and alienation.
Shen Yuhuai has a cold personality.
The door of the dormitory opposite was not open, and Shen Yuhuai seemed to be waiting.
Chen Qizhao didn't let the silence last too long. He adjusted his tone and found a suitable topic: "It's hot. Do you want to come in and enjoy the air conditioning?"
But just as he opened his mouth, a series of complaints came from the corridor not far away.
"I'm so tired. The elevator in this building breaks down so easily." Yan Kailin came out of the corridor panting and pulling his suitcase. As soon as he looked up, he greeted Chen Qizhao enthusiastically: "Brother!"
"Have you got the dormitory key?" Shen Yuhuai took the suitcase, "Have you finished moving the luggage?"
"No more, no more, just these two." Yan Kailin wiped his sweat, took out the card and opened the door: "I'll buy the rest later."
Chen Qizhao's gaze moved slightly to the side and fell on Yan Kailin.
He suddenly remembered that Yan Kailin seemed to have told him a few days ago that he had asked someone to help him choose a dormitory next to his.
Shen Yuhuai pushed the suitcase in, and Yan Kailin came over to talk to Chen Qizhao: "Brother, why didn't you respond to my invitation to dinner last week? This morning too, I thought you would come to school in the afternoon."
Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped at his hands and asked, "Don't you have hands?"
Yan Kailin was sweating profusely: "Ah?"
Chen Qizhao said without any fluctuation in his tone: "Can't you carry your luggage by yourself?"
Yan Kailin: “…”
He moved it himself! He carried all three suitcases by himself!
Yan Kailin got up early in the morning to move his luggage, but unfortunately the car he called was stuck outside the school and couldn't get in. He could only move the luggage himself, and he got lost once he entered the school. In the end, he could only ask Shen Yuhuai for help. The Ninth Research Institute was not far from S University. It was lunchtime, and Shen Yuhuai was in the library of S University, so he came over to take him with him.
He had never suffered such injustice in his life. He was stuck in traffic and on the road, and he was exhausted from carrying luggage.
Before I could even catch my breath, I had to go back to the dormitory to pack my luggage.
By the time I finally finished packing my luggage, I was almost fainting from hunger.
"I have to go find something to eat first. Brother, have you had lunch?" Yan Kailin asked.
Chen Qizhao said: "Not yet."
Yan Kailin said: "Then let's go together, Brother Huai, you are familiar with S, take us to eat something delicious."
Shen Yuhuai was originally looking at his phone, and when he heard the words, he glanced at Yan Kailin from the corner of his eyes, as if to confirm what the other party said, and finally took the two of them to a small restaurant on the campus of S University.
On the first day of school for freshmen, all the cafeterias were packed, but it was rare to find an empty seat in this small restaurant in a slightly remote corner of the campus. The dishes look rich, the only drawback is that this is a Chinese restaurant and there are no drinks in the store, only a variety of soups.
"I'm going to buy some milk tea. What would you like to drink?" Yan Kailin stood up after ordering.
Shen Yuhuai didn't drink, and Chen Qizhao said casually.
Soon, only Shen Yuhuai and Chen Qizhao were left at the table.
Chen Qizhao had never met Shen Yuhuai during this period. He knew Shen Yuhuai several years later. At that time, Shen Yuhuai was more mature and colder than he is now. Moreover, the two of them probably had their own reasons for meeting each other back then. Now, compared to Shen Yuhuai, he is at most an ordinary junior.
Even the topics of conversation were so dry that the only thing left was greetings.
The restaurant still uses the old-fashioned handwritten ordering method, unlike the QR code ordering method that has become popular in recent years.
Chen Qizhao wrote down the food he and Yan Kailin ordered, and looked up at Shen Yuhuai: “What is Brother Huai eating?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuhuai reported the name of the dish.
Chen Qizhao wrote down the name of the dish. As soon as he finished writing, he caught a glimpse of the beautiful picture on the menu and asked casually, "No onions?"
Shen Yuhuai paused when he heard this.
Chen Qizhao suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He knew some of Shen Yuhuai's tastes, and when the two of them had time to dine together, he would always make a note on some dishes that onions were not added. "I ordered the same as you, and the dish stickers seemed to have a lot of onions. I don't eat it, so I asked you."
Chen Yuhuai said: "No."
Chen Qizhao responded and made a note on Shen Yuhuai's dish.
His expression did not change, but his finger slightly covered it, crossed out his original dish, and added 'x2' after Shen Yuhuai's dish.
After writing it, he took the menu to the front desk.
Shen Yuhuai sat by the window, his peripheral vision sweeping over Chen Qizhao not far away.
The weather was indeed hot and humid, and the air conditioning in the restaurant was not very cool because there were so many people coming in and out.
But even so, Chen Qizhao was still wearing a coat.
The main color of the jacket is khaki, with blue and white stripes on the arms. When worn on Chen Qizhao, who has fair skin, he looks younger. In addition, he was wearing a hat and had soft hair. From a distance, he looked like a well-behaved child at the front desk, in stark contrast to Yan Kailin, who was jumpy and eccentric.
Quiet and well-behaved, and doesn't speak loudly.
Shen Yuhuai's eyes stayed on Chen Qizhao for a moment, and retracted in advance when he turned around.
Chen Qizhao came back after ordering the food, and before he could find a topic to relieve the awkwardness, Shen Yuhuai, who was always silent, took the initiative to speak.
"Is your arm wound healed?" Shen Yuhuai asked.
"Okay." Chen Qizhao pulled out a chair and sat down. Hearing this, he didn't say much and openly rolled up his jacket sleeves to show him.
After more than a month, the stitches on the wound on his arm had long been removed, leaving only a scar. Zhang Yazhi kept thinking about the scar for a long time, and every day she would take the scar removal cream she brought back from abroad and ask him to apply it once in the morning and evening. After removing the bandage, the scar was still a little big, and he wasn't one who would sweat easily, so he just wore a coat to cover it.
Chen Qizhao's hands are very white, so white that the blood vessels on the back of his hands are clearly visible.
There weren't many hairs on his arms, and thin muscles covered the bony arms. The only flaw was the knife scar that ran across most of his arm. Even now one could still see how shocking it was when the knife was inflicted.
Shen Yuhuai remembered that when he met Chen Qizhao in the hospital, the boy was fearless and didn't even react when blood dripped on the floor. He only realized it when he reminded him.
The two had never met at that time, so Chen Qizhao might not remember him.
Chen Qizhao was wondering why Shen Yuhuai suddenly asked him about his hand, when he suddenly heard the phone ringing in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that it was Special Assistant Xu calling. His attention was instantly diverted, thinking that there was a problem with the Ruizhen Electronics project.
"Second Young Master." Assistant Xu's voice was somewhat tentative: "Are you still in school now?"
"Yes." Chen Qizhao's eyes paused on Shen Yuhuai for a moment. The latter nodded slightly to indicate that everything was fine. He continued to ask: "Is there a problem with the project?"
"No." Assistant Xu glanced at his boss sitting in the back seat, "Have you had lunch?"
Chen Qizhao was puzzled: "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Assistant Xu sorted out his words a little, "The boss is nearby, and asked if I need you to go out for dinner."
Chen Qizhao was even more puzzled: "Is he okay?"
Special Assistant Xu glanced at his boss and said, "Nothing."
They had just finished a work discussion nearby, and the boss received a call from Ms. Zhang Yazhi, so he made a detour to pick someone up for dinner near S University.
"No need." Chen Qizhao said, "If nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Just as Special Assistant Xu was about to say something to persuade him, a long beep came from the other end of the line.
Chen Shiming, who was sitting in the back seat, said in a normal tone: "What did he say?"
Assistant Xu thought for a moment and said tactfully: "Second Master said he was going to eat with his roommate, so we don't need to go over."
Chen Shiming's expression did not change, but he was obviously a little dissatisfied. "He lives in a single dormitory, where did he get a roommate?"
Special Assistant Xu: "Maybe it's the roommate next door?"
So why should they make things difficult for a working man when the two brothers could just make a phone call to get the answers?
Not long after Chen Qizhao hung up the phone, Yan Kailin came back after buying milk tea.
"There are too many people in this school, right? It takes a long time to queue up to buy a milk tea." Yan Kailin handed the fruit tea to Chen Qizhao. The dishes arrived at the same time, and the three of them started to eat.
Yan Kailin must have been very hungry, as it was rare for him to be quiet while eating.
When they were almost done eating, Shen Yuhuai got up to go to the bathroom, and Yan Kailin said to Chen Qizhao, “Brother, I’ve asked around, there are two big bars near S University, they feel pretty good, let’s go check it out when the time comes.”
Chen Qizhao had only eaten half of his meal. "Weren't you arrested by your brother two weeks ago?"
"What are you afraid of? I've already stayed at the hotel. Shen Yuhuai wouldn't know if I didn't come home at night. How did my brother get the information?" Yan Kailin was very proud when he saw Shen Yuhuai was not there. He was too uncomfortable to be with Shen Yuhuai. He had to think twice before saying anything. Even his brother Zhao didn't say much during the meal.
He added: "It won't be easy to organize a party when we're so close. Of course, I can't post on WeChat Moments. My brother has added too many people."
Chen Qizhao was listening to Yan Kailin's words and saw Qin Xingfeng's message when he looked at his phone.
The other party can no longer hold back and can't wait to take the bait.
His eyes briefly glanced over the content of the message, and his slightly long nails touched Qin Xingfeng's portrait, and his eyes deepened a little.
Yan Kailin was still asking: "Brother? Are you interested?"
"Okay." Chen Qizhao retracted his gaze and his tone became very frivolous: "My family has a parking lot in the suburbs. Do you want to go over and play?"
Yan Kailin showed excitement: "Okay!"
Meanwhile, at the restaurant front desk.
Shen Yuhuai didn't walk far. He walked to the front desk to pay the bill. While waiting, he glanced at the two people who were sitting with their backs to him.
The waiter quickly brought the menu, "Hello, the total is 125 yuan."
Shen Yuhuai nodded and saw the handwriting on the menu.
Chen Qizhao's handwriting is beautiful. Contrary to his appearance, his writing is smooth and majestic. He must have practiced calligraphy specially.
Shen Yuhuai's eyes stayed on the handwriting for only a moment, and he noticed the "Coke Chicken Wing Rice" that was crossed out in the middle, and the words scribbled behind a certain dish without green onions.
The handwriting before and after is different, and the author's mentality is different.
The waiter asked: "Hello? Campus card or cash?"
Shen Yuhuai restrained his gaze and said naturally: “Cash.”
