On a large ginkgo tree at the corner of Old Street, its branches touch a building. On the second floor, there's a tattoo shop called "Gui Yi," run by Qiao Zhuoyi, who has a "porcupi...
Chapter 70 Chapter 70 "Don't you want to see my partner? Look...
When he came out again, Qiao Zhuoyi was holding a piece of bread in his mouth and kicked his calf to make room for him.
The two of them squeezed onto a chair, and Tan Du subconsciously looked inside the room.
"I took the little one downstairs to play."
To give them some space, Qiao Yuyi poked his forehead and told him not to lose his temper and to have a good chat.
It's not New Year's Eve, whether we can have a good chat depends entirely on someone's attitude.
Qiao Zhuo slapped away the hand that was trying to hug his waist and gave him a look - explain yourself clearly.
Tan Du rubbed his nose and said, "Didn't I tell you before that I was wandering around for the past two years? I was alone during the New Year. I don't really pay much attention to this day."
"You don't care! You're doing just fine on your own, so why do you need me?"
Qiao Zhuo became furious and stood up to leave.
Tan Du exerted force with his arms, pulling the man back and pleading, "Of course it's different now. I'm not used to it."
Qiao Zhuo pressed the wound at the corner of his mouth with the tip of his finger.
Tan Du frowned and said, "It's okay."
This person was intentionally protecting the person who had hit him. Qiao Zhuoyi didn't know what their dispute was, so he didn't want to talk about it. But he needed a guarantee for another matter. He asked, "Anything else?"
Tan Du was stunned: "What?"
Go to hell and have a good chat.
Qiao Zhuo left decisively without any regrets.
Bang--
Slam the car door.
A man and a dog barely caught up, with a clear division of labor: the former ran to the passenger seat, while the latter sat down to block the road.
traitor!
Qiao Zhuo gritted his teeth and locked the car door.
Tan Du walked around to the driver's seat: "Zhuo Yi——"
Qiao Zhuo rolled down the car window and sneered, "Boss Tan has a lot of good brothers."
The car stopped at that point, backed up, turned, made a U-turn, and drove out of the community with a bang.
Tan Du frowned, touched the wound with his tongue, and suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
The crux of the matter was like a stone blocking Qiao Zhuoyi's chest. He was angry and mad. He left because he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with others. If it were someone else, he would definitely beat the person until they confessed everything.
But this person is Tan Du, and he is the one who feels hurt when he gets hurt.
He desperately needed an outlet, so he drove to the hotel swimming pool.
After swimming a few laps, I was exhausted and the air in my chest had dissipated a lot.
There are many missed calls on the phone, and the top chat interface messages take up the entire screen——
【I’m sorry Zhuo Yi】
【I was wrong, I will never lie to you again】
【Zhuoyi, where are you】
【Burn a little and reason with me】
[Boss Qiao...]
Qiao Zhuoyi jumped out of the pool and walked towards the room, looking down at the message. A shadow fell in front of him. He turned left and the other person also turned left. After two attempts, he couldn't get past him. He looked up angrily: "You..."
"Zhuo Yi." Tan Du smiled ingratiatingly.
Qiao Zhuoyi walked around him and asked: "How did you know I was here?"
"On this day, there are not many swimming pools open in the city." Tan Du followed into the room.
"Can't I just go back to town?" Qiao Zhuo shook his hair.
Like a blanket after a bath.
Tan Du didn't wipe the water off even when it splashed on him, but just smiled at him.
"What a joke!" Qiao Zhuo clicked his tongue. "I have a question for you."
"The surveillance shows that no one has returned." Tan Du rubbed his nose and confessed honestly.
Qiao Zhuo snorted coldly, "Boss Tan is amazing! He can even watch the surveillance."
Unlike him, if he suspected someone was in TD, he would go over and check it out in person. The person would hide inside without making a sound, and he would have his good brothers to help him lie.
The fire that had just been extinguished broke out again.
"I'll give you the TD access," Tan Du immediately took out his phone, "and I'll also give you the surveillance of my home video doorbell."
"ill?"
No one needs so much surveillance from you.
The corners of Qiao Zhuoyi's mouth relaxed.
"I will never lie to you again." Tan Du pouted, his eyes looking pitiful, almost swearing.
Qiao Zhuoyi took a deep breath and said, "Come here."
He walked into the bathroom and pointed at the hair dryer with his chin.
Tan Du's movements were very gentle. Qiao Zhuoyi felt comfortable after being served and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.
The people next to him followed closely, and Qiao Zhuo took advantage of his inattention to poke him in the knee. Tan Du lost his balance and fell on the bed, looking at him with a smile.
Qiao Zhuo placed his hands on his shoulders. Seeing his brows furrowed in pain, he curled his lips and said, "Promise not to do it again?"
Tan Du looked at him seriously and said, "I promise, I will never lie to you again."
Qiao Zhuo traced his collarbone with his thumb: "Okay, there's still hope."
After saying that, he leaned over and bit him without mercy. Qiao Zhuo smelled the blood, but Tan Du didn't make a sound.
"Tan Du, remember, there are some things you don't have to say if you don't want to, but you can't lie to me." He stuck out his tongue and licked away the blood.
"knew."
Tan Du's hand on the back of his neck scratched, but Qiao Zhuo loosened his grip and fell beside him, staring at the ceiling.
Tan Du leaned over and kissed his ear, but thinking about going back to Qiao Yuyi's house, he didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, and even stepped back after the kiss.
Qiao Zhuoyi snorted softly, then suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked, "That night on the mountain? Your lack of sleep had nothing to do with being outside, right?"
"Well, it's strange that I could sleep with you so close to me." Tan Du whispered.
"I slept well." Qiao Zhuo said.
Tan Du laughed so hard that his body trembled slightly: "You can't compare with the God of Sleep."
Qiao Zhuo patted him with his backhand, stood up, took out the medicine box, and told him not to move.
Boss Qiao's actions were very rough, making the wound look even more miserable.
The two went back to have dinner. Qiao Yuyi's eyes changed from reproach of "you really started fighting" to ambiguous realization, and finally turned into a sentence: "Take it easy, it's New Year's Day."
"Tsk," Qiao Zhuo frowned, "What are you thinking about?"
The two little ones didn't understand but mimicked: "Stay, watch!"
Qiao Zhuo carried them one by one on his shoulders and pretended to fight.
"Mom, help—"
Calling mom was useless, so Qiao Yuyi turned and went into the kitchen to help her husband.
Several people were in a mess.
Tan Du stood by and occasionally extended his hand to prevent the three children from bumping into each other.
After working up a sweat, everyone enjoyed their dinner very much.
When Qiao Zhuo was taking a shower, Su Qi called.
"What's wrong?" Tan Du picked up the phone and asked in a low voice.
"Did you meet him?" The tone on the other end was unfriendly.
Tan Du didn't answer, so Su Qi started cursing, "You bastard! If someone hadn't said they saw you two, how long would you have kept it a secret from me? You told me you wanted to give Boss Qiao a surprise, so I covered for you! Tan Du, you're such a piece of shit! If I knew you were going back for this, I wouldn't let you go, even if I killed you..."
"Calm down." Tan Du interrupted him, "I'm not alone. I'm with Zhuo Yi and his sister's family."
His fingers moved quickly and he sent a photo of the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Isn't this how you let me cheat Boss Qiao? Now you're using the same trick against me, right?" Su Qi snorted.
"Wait a minute." Tan Du sent another video, which was recorded from Qiao Yuyi's perspective, and there was a scene of the two children saying Happy New Year.
Only then did Su Qi calm down.
Two more days passed without a break. The two kids were like perpetual motion machines, and the four adults and a dog were exhausted after taking turns.
On the third day of junior high school, Qiao Yuyi and Qin Yun wanted to take the children to their grandparents' house, so they let the two go.
The two of them went to a snack street and ate too much meat and fish. Boss Qiao said he wanted to have a treat.
I ate all the way and finished with two glasses of orange juice. Just as I finished my meal, I found a coffee shop on the corner.
Tan Du smiled and asked, "Still drinking?"
"I won't drink it!" A female voice came from the ward, "I won't drink it! Fan Quan! Try serving something like this that has no taste at all!"
Qiao Zhuoyi and Tan Du looked at each other, took two steps back, and avoided the big guy who staggered out from inside.
"Old Fan, your landing posture is good." Qiao Zhuo said while suppressing a laugh.
Fan Quan looked up and saw the two of them. He was not embarrassed at all and said cheerfully, "You're here? Why are you two here together?"
Qiao Zhuoyi: "Careless."
Tan Du: "Yes, together."
The two voices overlapped, and Fan Quan didn't bother to listen separately. He hunched over and knocked on the door: "Wife, Xiao Qiao and Boss Tan are here."
"Boss Tan is here, come and sit down." Lu Sa said, "Hey, isn't this Uncle Xiao Qiao? Go and see your little niece."
The child was sleeping in the crib, his hands clenched into fists. His skin was so translucent in the sunlight that the three grown men's hearts melted.
Qiao Zhuoyi seemed to be seeing Yueyue and Lele as children again, and he didn't dare to speak loudly: "They are really different every day."
Fan Quan spoke even more gently: "Isn't it beautiful?"
"It looks good," Tan Du continued, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
"I'm telling you three, speak up." Lu Sa was amused. Three tall guys surrounded the small bed, and their voices were as soft as mosquitoes.
Tan Du took out a bag of coffee beans and said, "I don't know when you can drink it. Smell this bag first. I'll send a few more bags over later."
Lu Sa's whole body was full of energy. He took it with trembling hands and took a deep breath with the coffee bag. "Finally, I got to smell this! When it comes to bosses, you have to be the best. Others come here to give things to their children, and no one brings anything for me."
"Oh, honey, please don't cry!" Fan Quan saw that her eyes were red.
"Boss Tan knows what your wife wants better than you do!" Lu Sa glared at him.
Qiao Zhuoyi took out two red envelopes and handed them over: "And one for Qiao Yuyi. When you are discharged from the hospital, she will come to visit you at home."
One of them was too thick.
Lu Sa held the hot item in his hand and looked at Fan Quan. Fan Quan could estimate the amount with just a glance and asked fiercely, "What are you doing? Are you rich?"
Qiao Zhuoyi said vaguely, "For two people."
"What do you mean two people's?" Fan Quan asked, "Your sister's is not different..."
"Fool!" Lu Sa reacted and sneered, "Is Xiao Qiao with her boyfriend?"
Qiao Zhuo responded.
Fan Quan grabbed him and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Didn't you say last time that you would bring him here to see? Where is he? Is giving him a red envelope enough to settle the matter?"
"Boss Fan." Tan Du called out.
"Xiao Tan, I'm not asking you for a red envelope," Fan Quan waved his hand, "Let me question this guy first..."
"I gave it to you." Tan Du coughed lightly.
"What?" Fan Quan asked.
"The red envelopes are from me and my partner." Tan Du said with a smile.
Lu Sa was stunned for a few seconds, then asked tentatively, "Boss Tan, Xiao Qiao, you two?"
Tan Du smiled and nodded. Qiao Zhuo turned his head towards the crib and said, "Little girl, you can't be like your father."
"W-what do you mean?" Fan Quan looked at him and swallowed unconsciously.
"Why are you looking at me?" Qiao Zhuo glanced to the side. "Aren't you looking at my girlfriend? Go ahead."
