Chen Zhiyu curled his lips into a smile that showed he saw through everything, and replied, "I don't want it."
"I don't want it..." That's great.
Xia Qingshu let out a long sigh, feeling relieved.
He knew about Brother Zhiyu's family situation, and all the people in China knew that Mother Chen wanted to have a big fat grandson. Brother Zhiyu saved him and was his benefactor. If Chen Zhiyu really wanted a child, he would still find it a bit difficult to deal with.
Since the other party didn't want it, he wasn't going to tell him.
A sigh of relief.
Xia Qingshu suddenly came back to his senses, stood by the bed, and asked stupidly, "Why?"
Chen Zhiyu had been observing Xia Qingshu. Seeing that he was in a daze again, he was afraid that he was slow to think and didn't understand what he meant, so he added, "My mother can't influence my decision."
After his mother gave birth to him, she never got pregnant again. In order to ensure the inheritance of the family, his father was deceived and found a young girl of childbearing age.
Although this did not work out, when his mother found out, she had a big fight with his father and almost became depressed.
Later, his father came to his senses, humbly admitted his mistakes, accepted the fact that he was his only son, and placed the responsibility of carrying on the family line on him.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, his parents have always loved and cherished him. If the child stumbles or stumbles a little, parents will be very worried. At first, he thought it was normal parental love.
When he grew up and got hurt, he proudly showed his wounds, saying, "I'm a man, I'm not afraid."
Parents are still worried about abnormalities.
Later he found out that he was the only child in the Chen family. When he grew up he had to inherit the family business and carry on the family line, so his health could not afford to have any problems.
He was very good since he was young, and he ranked first in every exam. When his parents showed him his report card, they did not praise him for his good academic performance, but said with some regret, "It would have been better if you had a son who ranked first."
His mother teased him, "Zhiyu, are there any girls in your class who like you?"
At that time, he was just thirteen years old and was in puberty. Boys and girls in his class began to hold hands secretly. Small notes, candies and chocolates often appeared in his desk, and he began to have a naive curiosity about the opposite sex.
However, his mother and father did not care about the physiological and psychological changes in his puberty, but instead instilled in him the life plan of having a son.
Not only did his parents often express their envy of early marriage in ancient times in front of him, they also taught him the techniques of having a son as predecessors.
"Girls with brothers in the family are the best, as they carry the gene for giving birth to sons."
He suddenly realized that his parents' love for him seemed conditional - as long as they could give birth to a son, nothing else mattered.
As soon as he came of age, he began to face his parents' insane pressure to have children.
One morning, when he was half asleep, he dreamed that his mother was muttering in his ear, "Give birth to a son," "Give birth to a son." He opened his eyes and found his mother squatting beside the bed, trying to brainwash him.
He was so frightened that he almost punched his mother in the face.
If love is equivalent to having a son and fulfilling the Chen family's KPI, then he would rather not have it.
As soon as he became an adult in his second year of high school, his father became extremely concerned about his love life.
When other people's children receive love letters or fall in love prematurely, they hide them for fear of being discovered by their parents and teachers.
His family is different. His parents are eager to let him fall in love early.
Every day I secretly looked through his schoolbag to see if there were any love letters written by girls.
If so, his parents would be happy all night.
When he was in high school, all his deskmates were of the same sex. His mother even went to the school and asked for a pretty girl to be his deskmate.
They didn't worry at all about affecting his studies, and his parents even secretly criticized him because he loved studying so much.
His father said that for a family like theirs, they didn't need to study well, they just needed to give birth to a son.
There was a boy next door to them who often skipped classes, had changed girlfriends so many times, didn’t even get into college, and spent money to go abroad for “further studies”. He lived a life of debauchery and got married and had children before he even graduated. The boy's biological father wanted to beat his son to death, but his dad was actually envious and asked him to study with the uneducated and unlearned dude next door.
What to learn? Is learning a waste of money?
Family inheritance is a joke in his eyes.
At the age of eighteen, when others were worrying about filling out their college entrance examination applications, he had already been forced to go on blind dates.
After work, he hated those who approached him with bad intentions even more.
He works hard in the hope of breaking away from his parents' pressure to be born, taking control of the finances, and having a say at home.
After being bothered for so many years, he had long lost interest in exploring the opposite sex. In comparison, love between the same sex was purer.
Chen Zhiyu turned his head and said quietly but firmly, "No children."
~
Xia Jing and Chen Qixi were waiting for Xia Qingshu at home. When Xia Jing learned that he was taking care of Chen Zhiyu in a private hospital, he simply went to the hospital to wait. Xia Yubin wanted to get in touch with Chen Zhiyu, so he also went to the hospital.
Xia Jing bought a bunch of lilies and held a gift box in his hand. After Xia Jing introduced each other and exchanged pleasantries, Xia Yubin smiled familiarly and said, "I have met Mr. Chen twice before."
Chen Zhiyu was cold and arrogant in front of outsiders. After a polite greeting, he kept silent and did not take the initiative to talk.
Xia Qingshu secretly observed the reactions between Xia Yubin and Chen Zhiyu.
His vigilance was detected by Chen Zhiyu's keen sense of smell.
Chen Zhiyu didn't show it on his face, but he smiled in his heart.
This little guy is narrow-minded and particularly jealous.
What made him wonder was why the little guy was so afraid of Xia Yubin for no reason?
Chen Zhiyu looked up - Xia Yubin was dressed very neatly, about the same age as Xia Qingshu, with a delicate appearance and spoke in a soft voice.
After entering the door, Xia Yubin followed Xia Jing all the time. He didn't look around, nor did he stare at him like he did the last two times. He looked very polite and gave people a very comfortable feeling.
If you observe carefully, Xia Yubin and Xia Qingshu have very similar temperaments. They are both very quiet boys. Their facial features are also somewhat similar, but Xia Yubin is not as pretty as Xia Qingshu.
It seems to be a copy of Xia Qingshu.
Coupled with the two previous deliberate approaches, Chen Zhiyu had no good feelings towards Xia Yubin at all, and could even be said to be somewhat disgusted with him.
Xia Qingshu once said that Xia Yubin's eyes were too far apart and he looked like a fly.
Xia Yubin's eyes are just averagely wide apart, his eyes are big and a little bulging, and he has big double eyelids, which is actually not bad.
But once you accept the setting of "fly", there is no going back.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Xia Yubin was indeed somewhat similar to a fly.
The dark green T-shirt paired with black pants makes him look more and more like a big-headed fly, with a green head.
Xia Yubin's slender arms were exposed, just like the hands that flies love to rub.
If he hadn't been so strong-willed, he would have almost been unable to hold back his laughter.
Xia Yubin saw Chen Zhiyu looking at him from time to time, pursing his lips, not knowing what he was enduring.
He lowered his head shyly and clenched his fists secretly.
"Qingshu, you've been here for a whole day. Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Xia Yubin stood up and walked to Xia Qingshu.
He was wearing a pair of tight sweatpants today, and the T-shirt he wore was a small size, which outlined his slender waist and made his buttocks look firm.
Chen Zhiyu's gaze fell on him vaguely.
Xia Yubin's originally uneasy heart finally settled down.
Although the first two times were not smooth, he will definitely not let this careful dressing down go to waste today.
"Qingshu, do you need any help?" He knew that Chen Zhiyu was difficult to approach and was very wary. He was too impatient the first two times. So he didn't ask Chen Zhiyu directly, but turned to Xia Qingshu.
Xia Qingshu didn't say anything. He just sat there like a stupid goose, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Zhiyu smiled in his heart. This kid would start to have wild thoughts when he got jealous and would become dazed when he started to have wild thoughts.
Silly.
He refused, "Don't bother."
"It's no trouble," Xia Yubin turned to Chen Zhiyu, "Qingshu is my brother. Thank you Mr. Chen for risking his life to save him. This is a small thing and it's what we should do."
For some unknown reason, in this life, Xia Qingshu and Chen Zhiyu got together without telling him. He had no idea how far the relationship had progressed, but he had every confidence that he could win Chen Zhiyu back.
He was afraid that Xia Qingshu would monopolize Chen Zhiyu and refuse to give up his position.
The two previous attempts were unsuccessful. Based on his understanding of Chen Zhiyu, Chen Zhiyu might have been on guard against him to a certain extent. Today's start was smooth, so he couldn't rush things.
Xia Yubin had a smile on his face. Although he was talking to Chen Zhiyu, he did not come closer. Instead, he kept a comfortable distance. He only glanced at him and then looked away immediately. He looked very decent and sensible.
After saying this, he turned to face Xia Qingshu with a hint of worry on his face, and it seemed that he really felt sorry for his younger brother.
"Brother Yubin, being a caregiver is very tiring. I'm afraid you can't do it." Xia Qingshu said naively.
"Qingshu, I'm not afraid of being tired."
With questions and answers, it seems like they have a deep brotherly love.
"Since you are so sincere, I will let you do it."
When the other party showed his sincerity and was in a dilemma, Xia Qingshu tiptoed and pointed to a chamber pot under the guest bed and said softly, "Please take that out and wash it, okay?"
He was so sleepy last night that he woke up in the middle of the night because he had to pee, so he took the kettle and solved it.
I was busy all day today and forgot to pour it out. Now someone who is proactive in working has come, and I can’t just let him sit there and do nothing, right?
Xia Yubin didn't know what it was, so he followed Xia Qingshu's instructions, bent down and went under the guest bed, and saw a white pot filled with yellow liquid.
The smile froze instantly.
"This... Qingshu, what is this?"
"This is what Brother Zhiyu needs to clean up." Xia Qingshu was deliberately vague and confusing, implying that this belonged to Chen Zhiyu.
Chen Zhiyu glanced at him but didn't expose him.
After Xia Qingshu finished speaking, a charming smile hung on the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows raised, like a proud little peacock.
The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, since you can't even do this little job, you'd better pack up and go home.
Xia Jing watched from the side and said, "A gentleman cannot break his promise and do what he says. Yubin, if you can't do it, go back."
Xia Yubin gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wash it."
Xia Qingshu felt that he had a kind of tragic heroism that made him willing to die bravely.
Xia Yubin held his breath, crawled under the bed, took out the chamber pot, and went to the bathroom to wash it.
Chen Zhiyu then whispered to him, "I just looked at him carefully, and he does look a bit like a fly."
Xia Qingshu nodded and whispered to him, "A supermodel among flies."
The clothes and pants Xia Yubin wore today were very tight fitting, making him look long-legged, with a thin waist. He was indeed one of the best-looking people among the flies.
Chen Zhiyu lowered his head and curled the corners of his lips.
Xia Qingshu spoke softly and whispered to Chen Zhiyu. The two of them were very close to each other, with their heads almost touching, which was indescribably ambiguous.
Xia Jing saw the interaction between the two. He frowned and inadvertently changed the topic, separating the two.
When he was young, he had strict requirements for his sons' growth. He felt very guilty about his newly found youngest son, and tried his best to make up for it and give him the best.
He strongly supports Xia Qingshu's plan to find a same-sex partner. However, Chen Zhiyu is not a good match.
First of all, Chen Zhiyu has a strong personality and Xia Qingshu has a weak personality. When the two are together, Chen Zhiyu must be the main focus.
Secondly, when two people are together, it is not just about two people, but also about two families.
He had a certain understanding of Chen Rao. Chen Rao had a strong personality and was not a good candidate for a mother-in-law. Moreover, the Chen family wanted to give birth to a son to inherit the family business. Anyone who was slightly familiar with her knew that many people tried to send their daughters to Chen Zhiyu.
Chen Zhiyu is handsome, successful in his career and is the first choice of son-in-law for major families. However, he knows that the other party has a hidden illness.
If Qingshu were with him, he would definitely suffer great injustice.
Xia Jing was really worried about Xia Qingshu, and he planned to ask Xia Qingshu in detail about his thoughts after he returned.
~
Xia Yubin endured the humiliation and walked into the bathroom carrying the chamber pot. The bathroom door was open. He watched Xia Qingshu and Chen Zhiyu whispering intimately, and angrily threw the chamber pot into the sink.
The lid of the chamber pot was not tightened, and when it fell with a clang, yellow liquid splashed out and was everywhere, and a few drops accidentally splashed onto his clothes.
Xia Yubin's face turned green.
He buried his head in the clothes and smelled them, and was almost suffocated by the smell.
Xia Qingshu heard the noise, stood up and walked to the bathroom door, "Brother Yubin, what's wrong? Did you knock over the chamber pot? Did it splash on your clothes?!"
Xia Yubin forced a smile and pretended to be relaxed, "It didn't fall over. I washed it right away. I just accidentally touched the basin."
"Oh, then come out when you're done."
"I understand." Xia Yubin answered with a smile, then turned on the faucet with a dark face.
Xia Yubin pinched his nose and cleaned the chamber pot, then simply cleaned the dirty clothes, washed his hands several times with hand soap, and then came out of the bathroom.
As soon as he came out, he heard Xia Qingshu praising him outside, "Brother Yubin is able to endure hardships."
Xia Yubin suppressed his anger and said, "It's just a small matter, nothing."
"Brother Yubin, sit down and take a rest." Xia Qingshu picked up the fruit basket on the bedside table, "Brother Zhiyu, do you want to eat loquats? I'll go wash some."
Chen Zhiyu nodded, "Uncle Xia, Yubin, you guys try it too."
This is the local loquat sent by a relative of the Chen family. They are grown on their own fruit trees and have not been sprayed with pesticides. Because they are given as gifts, they are all very big. They are sweet with a hint of sourness, unlike the loquats sold in fruit shops, which have a very bland taste.
After thanking him, Xia Yubin smiled and said, "This kind of loquat looks delicious, but the skin is a little hard to peel. After peeling one with great effort, there is only a little flesh, and it will stain your fingers black, and it is difficult to wash it clean."
Xia Qingshu plans to skin Brother Zhiyu.
I was peeling loquats for Brother Zhiyu, and I had to peel them for Xia Jing as well. I also had to peel them for myself. It seemed so troublesome.
He was not very good at peeling loquats, so he looked down at his fair and delicate hands and asked tentatively, "Brother Zhiyu, how about an apple?"
Apples are convenient and you can eat them just by washing them.
Xia Yubin took the initiative to come over, "Qingshu, let me wash them. I have a trick for peeling loquats."
Xia Qingshu did not hand over the fruit basket. Instead, he held the basket tightly and kept looking at his hand.
Xia Yubin's hands were still wet. He had just washed the chamber pot and now he had to wash the fruit. He was not very particular.
Chen Zhiyu also frowned slightly and said calmly, "I won't eat it, you guys eat it."
After saying that, he glanced at his hand.
He did not show any disdain, but Xia Yubin knew him well enough to know that although he did not show it on the surface, he actually disliked her terribly in his heart.
He just washed a chamber pot, and everyone looked at him as if he had just gone to the village entrance to dig out manure.
Xia Yubin clenched his teeth.
Xia Qingshu definitely did this on purpose!
Even though you are angry, you still have to keep smiling.
Xia Qingshu was still pretending to be stupid, "Brother Yubin, you love doing housework so much, you are very suitable to be a housekeeper in the future."
"I just like doing housework and I won't work in the housekeeping industry."
He loves doing housework and is the perfect choice to be a good wife.
Xia Yubin smiled and said, "By the way, Qingshu, what do you want to do in the future? I heard that you submitted an application to drop out of school."
The last time he talked on the phone, he heard that Xia Qingshu was going to drop out of school and join the "super society". He looked up the meaning of "super social" on the Internet, which means hanging out in society and doing illegal things.
Xia Jing is a decent person and will never allow Xia Qingshu to do anything wrong. Xia Qingshu doesn't look like someone who would do bad things, but he is lazy and likes to eat and do nothing. With such a character, Xia Jing will sooner or later dislike him.
Hearing this question, Xia Jing's eyes lit up.
Xia Qingshu's "super-social" remarks were also taken seriously by Xia Jing. In the past, Xia Jing thought that he was influenced by his adoptive parents' family. But after meeting Xia Laoer and Li Xiaoxi, he felt that his adoptive parents were good people. He thought that the term "super social" was just something Xia Qingshu said because he couldn't accept the fact that he was taken away by mistake.
As his biological father, he has the responsibility to guide his values in a positive way. Xia Jing said, "Yubin just signed a contract with a company. Our family is in the pharmaceutical industry. Your eldest brother Xia Shan is also in the pharmaceutical industry. You haven't met your second brother Xia Ji, but he is in finance. Our family is very open-minded and will not influence the career direction of our children. Qingshu, what do you want to do in the future? It doesn't matter if you don't have a goal. Do you have any hobbies? Or you can try many things. Tell dad what you like and dad will arrange it."
Xia Jing asked so many questions that Xia Qingshu didn't know how to answer them. He simply asked, "Which company did Brother Yubin sign with?"
Xia Yubin smiled modestly and said, "I signed with a record company, and the company wanted me to develop into a singer-songwriter."
Xia Qingshu was surprised: "You can write songs?"
The original book only focused on describing chaotic gay relationships and hardly touched on Xia Yubin's career path.
He once thought that Xia Yubin didn't work. After all, she had to deal with several men at the same time every day, so how could she have the time to work?
Xia Yubin said modestly: "I wrote a few songs in my spare time, made demos and submitted them to the company. I originally just wanted to earn some royalties, but the person in charge of the company came to my house and thought I had a good image and temperament, and insisted that I debut. I declined several times, and finally they found my mother. My mother talked to the boss of their company for a long time and thought this opportunity was good, so I agreed to give it a try. As you know, I majored in law, and music has only been my hobby since I was a child."
He said it very easily, as if he was appreciated by a big company just by playing music casually.
This seemingly effortless achievement gives people a feeling of "if you can do it, so can I."
Xia Qingshu didn't expect that the other party was a creative talent. He was personally interviewed by the president of the record company, so he thought he must have some level.
"Then can you sing a few lines of the song you wrote? I want to hear it."
Xia Yubin hesitated and said, "I signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot sing."
Xia Qingshu: "Just hum a couple of verses. We're all family. I won't sing randomly everywhere."
Xia Yubin smiled and declined: "It's just a demo, it still needs to be improved."
Xia Qingshu stared at him and begged in a low voice, "A demo is fine, I just want to listen to it."
Xia Yubin asked, "Qingshu, why are you so persistent?"
"Because I also want to enter the entertainment industry." Xia Qingshu looked proud.
Xia Yubin smiled and asked, "Do you want to be a singer too?"
What the entertainment industry has no shortage of is beautiful appearances. The more beautiful they are, the more temptations they will face. People like Xia Qingshu are most likely to go astray.
"No." Xia Qingshu snorted confidently, "I want to be an investor. I heard that investors are the most powerful people in the entertainment industry. I can also be a gold medal producer. Sing for me. I have a good eye. I can tell whether you can become popular as soon as I hear you sing."
Xia Yubin: “…”
"You are so shy and not generous at all. How are you going to sing in front of an audience in the future?" Xia Qingshu tilted his head and asked in confusion, "I think you may not be destined to become a big star."
Xia Yubin: “…”
The face gradually became distorted.
"I will definitely be famous..."
Xia Qingshu asked in confusion: "How do you know it will become popular? Can you predict the future?"
Xia Yubin was choked, "...the record company boss said..."
Xia Qingshu didn't care. "That was a lie. If it was true, he would have made a fortune without doing anything. Why would he open a company?"
Xia Jing didn't hear the witty remarks between his two sons. When he heard that Xia Qingshu had changed his ambition and would not go to "Super Society", he felt happy. "Yubin, sing two verses for Qingshu and let him take your pulse."
Xia Jing's tone made it seem as if Xia Qingshu was already a gold medal producer.
"That's right. Whether it's a mule or a horse, we have to take it out for a walk." Xia Qingshu stood behind Xia Jing, like a little fox who was relying on the power of another.
Xia Yubin was frowning. He seriously doubted that Xia Qingshu didn't even recognize the musical notation.
"Dad, there is a confidentiality agreement."
It’s not that Xia Yubin doesn’t want to sing. In front of Chen Zhiyu, he can show his talents without hesitation.
But his songs have not yet had the chance to be released.
He has been learning piano since he was a child, with average talent. He did not continue his studies after passing the tenth level exam. He understands basic music theory, and the two songs he sent to the record company were adapted by him, not his original works.
In the previous life, there was an anonymous genius composer who committed suicide due to depression. After his death, his friends sorted out his belongings and discovered that he had composed hundreds of songs before his death. In order to commemorate him, his friends put several songs he composed on the Internet. Unexpectedly, they became an instant hit and became classics of a generation, which were popular for many years.
Unfortunately, due to improper management by my friend, the remaining music manuscripts were burned in fire, which is a pity.
There were two songs he particularly liked, and these were the two he handed over to the record company.
The identity of the genius composer had never been made public, and he learned of his identity by chance.
Calculating the time, the composer will die during this period. If he can get the relics in advance, he will become the most popular singer in the country.
After being reborn, he never thought about saving the other person. In his opinion, everyone will die. Maybe even if he saved the other person once, the other person would die soon.
He obtained the relics in advance and released hundreds of classic songs, which is the most correct way to live up to the classics.
Seeing that the other party was determined not to sing, Xia Qingshu said, "You are not lying, are you? I heard that many singer-songwriters actually hire ghostwriters to write songs. Those singers are so busy and have so many announcements every day, how do they have time to write songs?"
"...Haha, I will focus on music." Xia Yubin's face was almost distorted. He lowered his head and his voice leaked out from between his teeth. "Qingshu, when will you come to the entertainment industry? I hope we can become colleagues then."
He will definitely become famous, and when he becomes famous, he will step on Xia Qingshu under his feet.
Xia Qingshu smiled and said, "I'm not your colleague, I'm an investor and your boss."
Xia Yubin looked at Xia Jing, his eyes full of grievance. Everyone would feel emotional when being discouraged, questioned, and oppressed like this.
Xia Jing patted his hands and whispered to comfort him, "You are so sensible, you won't argue with your brother, right?"
Xia Yubin nodded silently.
If he was wronged, Xia Jing would compensate him either in terms of family affection or money.
If you can hold your breath and get benefits, why not do it?
He is sensible, considerate and has a sense of the overall situation, and he does not argue with his younger brother. He looked at Xia Jing, hoping that Xia Jing would make an expression of compensation, but Xia Jing looked at Xia Qingshu seriously.
Xia Yubin made all the preparations, but no one paid any attention to him.
In Xia Jing's eyes, Xia Yubin is a hero, a great hero who helped Xia Qingshu return to the right path from the ideal of "super society". It is enough to just praise him verbally.
The key now is to stabilize Xia Qingshu. "Dad will ask the boss of Huaxin Records to invest some money for you to become a top producer."
Xia Yubin: “…”
The little money Xia Jing mentioned is definitely not less.
Xia Qingshu grinned, "Thank you, Dad."
Chen Zhiyu also nodded to Xia Qingshu: "The investment prospects in the entertainment industry are still good."
Xia Jing praised from the bottom of his heart, "Our Qingshu has a really good vision!"
Xia Yubin: “…”
Is this what you call good vision? !
Have these two people gone crazy? !
