Chapter 123 Extra

If line - if nothing happened (Part 2)

But soon, that look moved away from him.

Chen Qizhao was just thinking about how to take Yan Kailin away later when he heard Shen Yuhuai ask, “Would you like some water?”

"No need, we'll leave after he comes out." Chen Qizhao looked at him.

At this time, Yan Kailin came out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower. "I'm fine, brother. Let's go. I'm almost suffocating here. God knows I'm waiting for Chen Yuhuai..."

He paused, and seeing Shen Yuhuai, who was supposed to work overtime in the living room, standing there, he stood there honestly: “Brother Huai.”

Chen Yuhuai nodded slightly, picked up the bag that was originally placed on the table, and walked to the kitchen.

Yan Kailin was in a panic when he saw Shen Yuhuai. He was thinking about how to solve the problem, but Chen Qizhao, who was sitting, immediately pulled his hand and said, "Brother Chen, Kailin and I will go to eat first."

When Shen Yuhuai heard the sound, he turned around, but the person who had just finished taking a shower and the person on the sofa were nowhere to be seen, and they didn't even have time to close the door.

"Qiming?"

Qiming is a reservation-only restaurant, and reservations must be made half a month in advance.

Unfortunately, the owner of Qiming Restaurant was someone he knew.

Shen Yuhuai put down the cup of water he was about to take, and his eyes dimmed a little. Chen Qizhao is still the same as he was when he was a child, and the way he lies has not changed at all.

Yan Kailin followed Chen Qizhao into the car and was stunned when he heard Chen Qizhao's explanation: "Is this possible? You can go out just for dinner? Will he believe this excuse!?"

"No matter whether he believes it or not, we can just say we are going to eat and come back at about the same time." Chen Qizhao lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Rong.

Yan Kailin felt that something was wrong: "But I smell like alcohol, he will definitely notice when I get back!"

"Then just tell me to stay at my house tonight." Chen Qizhao glanced at Yan Kailin, "Why are you so cowardly?"

Besides, the Qiming Restaurant he made up is far from Shen Yuhuai's apartment. If he says that the road is too far and it is inconvenient to go back, it will be fine to stay at his house directly. Nothing will happen if he stays there for one night. Besides, the Yan family and the Chen family have some contacts.

Yan Kailin: "Chen Yuhuai is very smart, even smarter than my brother."

Chen Qizhao couldn't bear to see Yan Kailin's cowardly look, "If you are worried, just send his WeChat to me and I will talk to him. I am worried that you will tremble when he asks you anything. Leave it to me and we will drink all night tonight."

Yan Kailin was also afraid that he might say something wrong, so he immediately gave the vx to Chen Qizhao.

Chen Qizhao didn’t add it immediately. He looked at the business card sent by Yan Kailin, clicked on Shen Yuhuai’s avatar and took a look, then quickly jumped away.

The two of them went to the bar and after meeting up with Cheng Rong, they drank until ten o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Qizhao applied to add Shen Yuhuai's WeChat account. After about ten minutes, the other party finally replied. As soon as the message was passed, Chen Qizhao sent a message to Shen Yuhuai according to the originally prepared words.

After a while there was no reply, he was about to close the WeChat account when a voice call popped up.

"Damn, be quiet." Chen Qizhao said, and the others who were still drinking immediately stopped and turned off the KTV in the private room. "Hello?"

Shen Yuhuai paused for a moment after answering the call, “Still in Qiming?”

"Yes, we'll be leaving soon." Chen Qizhao said in a normal tone, "Kailin and I haven't been together for a long time. Stay at my house tonight and talk."

Yan Kailin spoke up at the right time: "Brother Huai, let's go back."

Shen Yuhuai didn’t answer it immediately, but smiled: “Yeah.”

Chen Qizhao didn't wait until the other party hung up the phone. He always felt that there was something behind Shen Yuhuai's words.

He waited for a while before Shen Yuhuai hung up the phone.

Yan Kailin's excited voice immediately rang out in the private room: "Oh my god, this excuse really works!"

Shen Yuhuai actually believed it and hadn’t come to see him yet.

"Next time you go out for a drink, just tell him you want to have dinner with me."

"Is that the problem solved? Shen Yuhuai is too old-fashioned."

Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes to look at the avatar on the chat interface, clicked on it and changed a note.

After drinking that day, the two of them went to Chen Qizhao's house and slept until noon. Yan Kailin hadn't been to Chen's house for a long time, so Zhang Yazhi kept him there for lunch. Shen Yuhuai really didn't look for Yan Kailin, and the matter just passed peacefully. Chen Qizhao happened to have something to do these two days, and when he wanted to ask Yan Kailin out for a drink on the weekend, the excuse didn't work.

[-Yan Kailin: Shen Yuhuai was so cruel, he directly reported to my brother that I was going out to eat. ]

[-Yan Kailin: My brother called me directly to ask me who I was having dinner with and where I was going to eat? ]

[-Yan Kailin: In the end, I could only go to the city center with Cheng Rong to have a meal. ]

Chen Qizhao made a voice call directly, "Is this true?"

Yan Kailin: "Can I still lie to you?"

Chen Qizhao: "Where are you now?"

"At home, Shen Yuhuai is resting these days. How could he not know that I'm not at home?" Yan Kailin secretly glanced at the kitchen, and Shen Yuhuai just brought the dishes out of the kitchen, "No more talking, I have to go eat."

Yan Kailin hung up the voice chat. Chen Qizhao just walked downstairs. Zhang Yazhi came back from outside and saw him coming downstairs. "Xiao Zhao, are you going out to play tonight?"

Chen Qizhao paused for a moment, "...eat at home."

Zhang Yazhi's eyes lit up a little, "That's perfect, your dad and his family got off work early today."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Qizhao was about to speak when he saw Zhang Yazhi hurriedly put down her bag and seemed to be walking towards the kitchen. He scratched his hair, feeling inexplicably irritated, and simply sat in the living room playing games.

After losing two games in a row, he didn't want to play anymore and started checking his Moments.

I originally wanted to go to the bar with Yan Kailin today, but Cheng Rong and Liu Kai had something at home and couldn't come out, so there was no one to form a group for the evening party.

Swiping his phone, Chen Qizhao saw the dinner picture that Yan Kailin had sent a few minutes ago. It was a simple meal of three dishes, one soup, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks. He stopped, clicked on the picture and took a look, and found that Shen Yuhuai had done it quite well.

The image of Shen Yuhuai suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly exited the circle of friends, found the WeChat ID of Shen Yuhuai that he added last time, and clicked into his circle of friends to see it.

Shen Yuhuai’s circle of friends is very monotonous, either forwarding professional articles or posting photos of competitions.

"What? Why is there nothing at all?"

Chen Qizhao scrolled down and found that this person’s circle of friends was terribly monotonous.

Zhang Yazhi came over at this time, "What's wrong?"

"Look at the circle of friends." Chen Qizhao suddenly said: "Mom, do you recognize that Shen Yuhuai? It's Shen Xuelan's younger brother."

"Yu Huai? I know." Zhang Yazhi patted him. "How can you talk like that? You have to call him brother when you see him. Yu Huai came to our house when he was a child. It's okay for you to be disrespectful at home, but you have to be polite when you go out, okay?"

"Yes, I called him Brother Chen. Has he ever come to our house?" Chen Qizhao had no impression. Maybe he came to a family gathering when he was a child.

When Zhang Yazhi saw Chen Qizhao mentioned Shen Yuhuai, she told him a little about the Shen family, and also told him about Shen Yuhuai coming to live at home when he was a child, "You were close to people when you were a child, how come you call them by their first names when you grow up? Yuhuai is a few years older than you, right?"

"How many years older? Isn't he studying for a master's degree?" Chen Qizhao said.

Zhang Yazhi said: "He skipped a grade, had good grades, and went away to study when he was in junior high or high school."

Chen Qizhao listened to Zhang Yazhi chattering on and on about Shen Yuhuai's glorious deeds, but he didn't hear a word of it. She was a few years older than him, so there wasn't much of a generation gap, right? This circle of friends seemed to be comparable to Chen Shiming's. He lost interest in Shen Yuhuai's circle of friends before he finished reading it.

Zhang Yazhi noticed that the child didn't really listen to her, but she didn't get annoyed. She turned on the TV and said, "Your brother and his family will probably be here in half an hour. Let's have dinner later."

"Oh." Chen Qizhao took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the TV, and posted it on his Moments. The caption was so simple that there was only a period.

As soon as I posted it, many friends came out to like it.

Chen Qizhao ignored the pop-up messages and clicked on his previous Moments to see if there were any ignored comments. When he scrolled to the bottom, he suddenly saw a familiar avatar at the end of the likes.

He was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the avatar and saw Shen Yuhuai’s personal information.

no? When did Shen Yuhuai give him a thumbs up?

This person's circle of friends is so old-fashioned, and he still checks his circle of friends?

Chen Qizhao was a little surprised.

There were a lot of likes on his Moments, but he usually ignored them. He would occasionally check Moments to see the comments, but he really didn’t notice when Shen Yuhuai liked his post.

Flipping forward again, Chen Qizhao suddenly discovered that Shen Yuhuai had liked several of his Moments.

Zhang Yazhi: "What's wrong?"

Chen Qizhao: "No, this guy is so boring."

After a while, there were voices coming from outside the door, and Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming came in one after another.

Chen Qizhao paused, avoided the gaze from afar, and did not look at the two people at the door. He had just had an argument with Chen Shiming recently, and when Chen Jianhong came back from a business trip and heard that he had changed his major, he didn't say anything else, but just told him to think about his own future, and then the two had a few words.

He had been eating out these days and didn't want to squeeze in with the two of them.

Chen Shiming and Chen Jianhong glanced at the person on the sofa, noticed the look Zhang Yazhi gave them, and did not say anything about Chen Qizhao. Their tone has become more serious in the past few days. Since they have made their volunteer choice, it cannot be changed. Zhang Yazhi has also talked to them several times, and the matter is almost over.

The atmosphere among the father and his two sons was depressing, and no one spoke to anyone else.

Zhang Yazhi had no choice but to ask the kitchen to serve the food.

As soon as they sat down at the dinner table, Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming started talking about business again. Chen Qizhao felt annoyed and was about to say something when he suddenly saw the familiar avatar pop up under the latest circle of friends.

Shen Yuhuai clicked a like on the circle of friends he had just posted.

Chen Qizhao: “…”

He cut out directly to find Yan Kailin.

[-Zhao: Did he like your comment too? ]

[-Yan Kailin:? ? ? ah? ]

[-Zhao: sank in the Huai River. ]

Chen Qizhao simply clicked into Yan Kailin’s circle of friends and found that the avatar was not included in the shared likes of Yan Kailin’s friends.

[-Yan Kailin: Did he like your comment? Just order whatever comes to your fingertips. ]

After a while——

[-Yan Kailin:? ? ? Why did he even like your drinking video? Is he mocking us? ? ]

After Yan Kailin sent the message to Chen Qizhao, he glanced at Shen Yuhuai cautiously.

After dinner, he sat in the living room playing games, while Shen Yuhuai was on the balcony.

But at this moment, Shen Yuhuai was not taking care of the plants, but looking at his mobile phone.

[-Yan Kailin: I feel like we are being targeted. My brother discovered it so quickly recently. Could it be that Shen Yuhuai is watching the circle of friends? ]

Chen Qizhao was about to reply when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the gaze next to him: Chen Shiming was looking at him.

Chen Qizhao: “?”

Chen Shiming was about to speak when he suddenly noticed Zhang Yazhi glaring at him from a distance. He swallowed the words "Don't play with your phone while eating" and changed his words to "The food is getting cold."

The dinner table became quiet for a while, and Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming stopped talking about work.

Chen Qizhao didn't say anything. "Eat later."

[-Zhao: I won’t say any more. I’m going to eat. ]

[-Yan Kailin: Where can I drink? ]

Chen Qizhao paused, took a photo secretly with a bit of awkwardness, and sent it to Yan Kailin.

[-Zhao: [Picture] Eating with my family. ]

[-Yan Kailin: Sure, are uncle and aunt here? ]

[-Zhao: Chen Shiming is here too. ]

Yan Kailin thought that he was asking about drinking, but his brother sent him a picture in return. He thought his brother wanted to show off something, but it turned out that he was having dinner with his family. Fortunately, I didn't leave him alone to drink.

He secretly glanced at Shen Yuhuai in the distance and replied quickly.

[- Yan Kailin: Oh yeah, I was just talking about the likes thing…]

Like?

Chen Qizhao clicked into Shen Yuhuai's circle of friends, and immediately gave him ten consecutive likes. After that, he still felt that it was not enough, so he clicked a few more.

[-Zhao: What are you afraid of? ]

[-Zhao: He liked it, so why not just click back? ]
