Chapter 39 Chapter 39 "Dad?"
Liu Jingheng has always been slow to perceive other people's emotions, but no matter how insensitive she was, she could still notice the unusual changes in Cheng Yunqing.
Was it because he broke his promise? Of course, the hero, Qingfeng Jiyue, always kept his word and looked down on those who didn't keep their word.
Cheng Yunqing said nothing and just looked at him for one minute, five minutes, and ten minutes.
Uncle Li couldn't help but speak:
"Master Cheng, congratulations on successfully completing your internship. You are one of Jinhai City's future talents. Returning to school early to learn and communicate with professionals will help you grow faster. Uncle Li believes in you."
Cheng Yunqing stood still, only his eyes slowly turned to stare at Uncle Li.
Uncle Li slowly hunched his shoulders and raised his hand to soothe the goosebumps on his arms.
Cheng Yunqing blinked and looked at Liu Jingheng again, with a faint smile on his lips:
"After this, I won't have to go to the hospital anymore, and I won't have to rush around so much every day. If you extend your internship, you can actually move in with me, and I'll be responsible for picking you up every day."
Liu Jingheng fell into deep thought.
In fact, what he wanted to do was to get close to the male protagonist so that he could get the upper hand.
But he felt a little embarrassed if Cheng Yunqing had to pick him up and drop him off every day.
"Next time," Liu Jingheng said, and her sense of morality prevailed in the end.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole world suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Cheng Yunqing raised the end of his eyebrows, still smiling.
He looked at Liu Jingheng, then at Uncle Li and the others.
He suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the back of Liu Jingheng's head, and gently touched his hair.
Then he nodded in an ambiguous manner.
Cheng Yunqing smiled and asked the old man:
"Director Qin, is it convenient for me to go upstairs?"
Old Master Qin frowned, but considering that the other party was a guest, he nodded.
"Sorry to bother you." Cheng Yunqing said this and strode upstairs.
Upstairs, study.
Qin Du sat in front of the computer, his left hand resting motionlessly on the keyboard while his right thumb gently stroked his earlobe.
Half an hour has passed, and it is still scalding hot.
My fingers traced down along the earlobe, and the hot burning sensation spread all the way to the back of my neck.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
While deep in thought, Qin Du suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up.
He heard a loud noise coming from the corridor, and through the rapid and heavy footsteps, he seemed to see the angry face of the person who came.
Cheng Yunqing suddenly rushed in from the door, and in the blink of an eye he came to Qin Du's desk. He stretched out his hand, grabbed Qin Du's collar hard, and pulled him forward.
A pair of wide-open angry eyes were embedded in the lost face, and the clear pupils were about to be covered by the fire that burned the sky and the earth.
"Mr. Qin, you are playing tricks on me." Cheng Yunqing lowered his voice.
Qin Du's collar was pulled up long by him, but even so, he still folded his hands and looked at the person seriously. Even though he had to look up to observe the person who came because he was sitting, his raised jawline still showed some arrogance.
The dark pupils took in the young and energetic boy in his early twenties.
Qin Du raised his hand, gently brushed away Cheng Yunqing's hand, and slowly adjusted his collar:
"As expected, while appreciating the youth's vigor and vitality, one must also tolerate his recklessness and stupidity."
"What did you say?" Cheng Yunqing's voice suddenly rose.
Qin Du raised his eyebrows and a meaningful arc appeared at the corners of his lips.
"If you're here to vent your frustrations because you can't get the love you want, I suggest you turn left when you get out." Go back to where you came from.
Cheng Yunqing slowly put down his hand and his eyes gradually calmed down.
The four words "love but cannot get" were like a loud drumbeat, reminding him of his loss of composure and dishonesty.
People who grew up being the center of attention have never experienced this - trying desperately to hold on, but the tighter they hold on, the faster it slips away.
"Boss Qin." Cheng Yunqing clenched his fingers, trying to maintain a calm voice, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."
Qin Du chuckled, not believing that this self-proclaimed arrogant young man would admit his mistake so quickly.
Sure enough, I heard him say:
"Although Liu Jingheng and I haven't expressed our feelings for each other, we do have feelings for each other. So, if he did anything wrong during his internship, I apologize to you on his behalf. I also hope you understand that we are in the critical period of graduation now, and being closer to school will ensure that even if he makes any mistakes, we can make up for them in time."
It seemed like a discussion, but in fact, each of them was full of innate pride, and even acted in an arrogant manner.
Qin Du looked at him for a long time, then sneered.
"Mutual love." Qin Du chewed over these words again and again.
"You said it seemed like I was forcing a couple to break up." Qin Du said coldly, "I'm sorry, I have no interest in your affairs, including Liu Jingheng."
Cheng Yunqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Du continued, "As for the butler, the Qin family doesn't need him any more or less. You can go wherever you want without informing us."
After saying that, Qin Du's gaze fell on the computer screen again. He didn't say anything to chase the person away, but his silence was already the answer.
Cheng Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, his face still calm:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your understanding. I'll take Jingheng and treat you to a meal when I have time. We'll be there first."
Qin Du still didn't respond to him, as if there was no such person in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yunqing said, "By the way, Mr. Qin, the painting "My Favorite Person" in Liu Jingheng's room seems to be a painting of me. Is it okay for me to take it away?"
Qin Du didn't even look at him, but raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.
*
Liu Jingheng followed Cheng Yunqing back home in a daze.
When he was leaving, the old man's eyes were heavy, as if he was dead.
Uncle Li's gaze turned into a sharp blade, slicing at Cheng Yunqing again and again.
But since President Qin had spoken, they had no right to say no.
Cube and Penny were placed in two airline boxes.
The cube doesn’t matter, whoever has milk is the mother.
Penny stared longingly in the direction of the Qin family mansion, humming through her nose, feeling so aggrieved that tears were about to drip out of her eyes.
When the car started, it finally couldn't bear the anger and barked twice.
In the car, melodious music accompanied by the golden sunset, the world fell into silence.
Cheng Yunqing was in a good mood and kept chattering about trivial matters like "what to eat tonight".
After chattering for a long time, no one responded. I turned around and saw Liu Jingheng sitting in the passenger seat with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.
"You're about to see Qiuqiu, aren't you happy?" Cheng Yunqing tried to divert his attention.
Liu Jingheng barely came back to her senses and kept mumbling "hmm" and "ah" for a long time, but she didn't know what to say.
The car arrived at Cheng Yunqing's apartment and entered the house. As soon as Penny was let out, she ran to the door, but Cheng Yunqing stopped her quickly and closed the door.
The puppy squatted by the door, looking at the huge door panel, his back full of sadness. Behind him were two people who were having a friendly conversation so friendly that cat hair was flying everywhere.
"My house is not big and there are no extra rooms, so the two beds can only be arranged like this." Cheng Yunqing pulled Liu Jingheng to see the room.
Two staircases divide the second floor of the duplex into two areas, each with a large bed.
Liu Jingheng looked around slowly.
To welcome his arrival, Cheng Yunqing replaced all his daily necessities with new ones, and even made a Q-version pillow for him and placed it on the head of his bed, followed by a row of plush toys.
Liu Jingheng didn't know whether to be moved or not. The male lead was really a nice person.
Liu Jingheng felt a little guilty when she thought about what she was going to do to him next.
"In the next few days, I'll focus on preparing for my graduation thesis and defense. I've seen that our class schedules are similar. From now on, I'll be in charge of breakfast, and we'll go to class together. After class, you can wait for me at the school gate. After dinner, we can go shopping together. You can tell me anything you like."
Cheng Yunqing chattered incessantly, as if he was beginning to imagine a happy future world for the two of them.
Liu Jingheng said nothing, just nodded in response.
After settling Liu Jingheng, it was already dark. Cheng Yunqing said he was going to make dinner and asked Liu Jingheng to rest first.
The roar of the range hood came from the kitchen. Penny was just like when she first arrived, staring at the door in a daze, motionless.
Like Penny, Liu Jingheng sat on the bed, almost blending into the darkness.
For cannon fodder, it doesn't matter where they go, the final outcome is just that square little box.
He had understood this a long time ago, but he couldn't explain why. After leaving the Qin family and coming to a strange environment, his heart seemed to be suddenly empty. He tried to find the missing piece of the puzzle, but he had no clue.
After dinner, Liu Jingheng washed up, went to bed, closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flickered, and he saw Cheng Yunqing at the head of the bed.
Cheng Yunqing knelt beside the bed with his hands on his cheeks, a smile on his lips.
Liu Jingheng shuddered, feeling as if she was being persecuted.
Who wants to harm whom?
He turned over to avoid Cheng Yunqing's fiery gaze.
"Sorry to bother you." Cheng Yunqing's voice came from behind.
Liu Jingheng: "Yes."
"I'm sorry, I might have been too excited." Cheng Yunqing stood up and tucked the quilt in for him. "I also feel ridiculous. We still have a lot of time to spend together, but I'm always afraid that you'll be gone the moment I open my eyes."
Liu Jingheng hugged the quilt:???
Isn’t it true that the male protagonist has actually seen through his plan and is ready to take the initiative and strike first.
Otherwise why would I be afraid that he would run away.
In the dim light, a hand gently covered his head and touched his hair:
"good evening."
Then, he emphasized again with an ambiguous tone: "Good night."
Liu Jingheng felt cold and shivered.
Now he couldn't sleep even more.
It was not until Cheng Yunqing fell asleep that Liu Jingheng quietly took out her cell phone, carefully turned the screen to the darkest setting, and opened WeChat.
Countless little red dots came flooding in.
Uncle Li: [Jingjing [crying loudly], the first day Jingjing is away, I miss him, I miss him.]
Grandpa Qin: [Teacher Xiao Liu, are you getting used to life over there? If you're unhappy, just tell me and I'll pick you up.]
A babysitter: [Brother Jingheng [sad], will you come back? ]
Liu Jingheng flipped through the messages one by one, and the entire Qin family, except Qin Du, sent him friendly greetings.
Suddenly, his eyes, which were a little sleepy, opened wide.
Among the countless little red dots, there was one person who had never sent him a message. This time, there was a red circle under his avatar.
Boss: [In]
Among countless red dots, Liu Jingheng replied to only this one person: [Hello, I'm here.]
The boss replied instantly for the first time:
[What are you busy with recently? I haven't heard from you for a long time. ]
Liu Jingheng hid in the bed and typed slowly:
I've moved and am about to graduate, so I'm a bit busy. Playing games?
Boss: [We'll fight tomorrow. Are you used to moving?]
Liu Jingheng had not been using his phone for long and typed very slowly, but Qin Du on the opposite side seemed to think that he was particularly slow this time.
About ten minutes later, I received a reply from Liu Jingheng:
I can’t tell.
Boss: [What?]
Liu Jingheng: [I thought I'd gotten used to living anywhere, but leaving there still makes me feel empty inside.]
Qin Du on the other end of the phone widened his eyes little by little at these words.
This was one of the rare times he heard Liu Jingheng express his feelings. For this reason, he even suspected that Liu Jingheng was a bionic robot.
Liu Jingheng sent another message:
But talking to you makes me feel better. [Smile]
Qin Du put his legs on the bed and slowly lay down, holding his phone in one hand and typing:
You talk, I listen.
Liu Jingheng suddenly didn't know what to say. His emotional intelligence and IQ meant he wasn't the type to proactively start conversations. Even if he took a step back, he and the boss weren't exactly on close terms.
So we can only find common topics through games.
Liu Jingheng: [Would you like to watch this game? There seems to be a professional league finals in the middle of this month, in the next city, would you like to go together?]
Qin Du on the opposite side was stroking his phone, not knowing whether he should agree.
He had noticed Liu Jingheng's intense interest in the game and, having learned about it, considered it niche and not particularly worth investing in, he had nonetheless invested tens of millions in the competition, sponsoring electronic products. The organizers of this year's finals had specifically invited him to present the awards, and he had accepted.
But by then, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to break it into two halves by himself.
Seeing that he hadn't replied yet, Liu Jingheng sent another message:
"It's okay. I can go by myself if you don't want to go. But I've never taken a train before. Can you teach me how to buy a ticket?"
【Puppy eating hands.gif】
Qin Du rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
With Liu Jingheng's intelligence, he had no doubt that he might have taken the wrong train. It was even very likely that, with a little luck, he would arrive in Linshi smoothly, and after getting off, he would stand at the station like a sculpture for the whole day until the end of the game.
But if you travel with him, you will inevitably have to show your ID at various checkpoints.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Du replied:
[I have something to do that day, please go there by yourself.]
Liu Jingheng sighed: [Okay.]
*
Liu Jingheng couldn't explain why she had to go on a spontaneous trip during such an important graduation season.
He didn't tell Cheng Yunqing about this. Given Cheng Yunqing's good nature, he would definitely put down his important work and accompany him.
This time, Liu Jingheng was unusually smart and made up an excuse, saying that the college was organizing a visit to the elderly and lonely and she had to be away for a day.
Cheng Yunqing had no doubt about it, he was indeed busy and had no time to investigate the authenticity.
On the afternoon before the finals, Liu Jingheng took advantage of Cheng Yunqing's absence to prepare water and food for Penny and the two cats who guarded the door every day, and set off with a small backpack.
This is his first time traveling far away.
After leaving the orphanage at the age of fifteen, although the world is my home, I am still wandering around in that small piece of land.
This was also his first time riding a high-speed train.
He looked for guides on taking the high-speed train online, but was also confused.
No matter what, hesitation will lead to defeat.
So, on a sunny afternoon, Liu Jingheng took a taxi to the station.
On the other side, the Qin family mansion.
After Qin Du finished communicating with the organizer, the other party said that they would send a car to pick up the people. Qin Du nodded in agreement and casually glanced at the news that popped up on his computer:
[Today, Jinhai Railway Station will experience the highest passenger volume in history.]
The accompanying picture is a photo of people crowded together with their feet stepping on each other.
Just as I was lost in thought, Uncle Li knocked on the door and came in.
He brought some fruit and said, "Boss Qin, Jingjing just sent me a message saying he's on his way to the station and asked if I should bring any souvenirs."
Qin Du said nothing, as if he had no interest in this matter at all and was more interested in the computer.
Uncle Li cursed in his heart: You are such a pretentious person. Now that your wife has run away, I want to see if you can still pretend.
Uncle Li also emphasized:
"I heard that there are various competitions going on in major cities these days, and the train station is packed with people, like dumplings being dropped into a pot."
Qin Du picked up the black tea and took a sip without even looking at him:
"Don't worry, the organizer will send a car to pick me up."
Uncle Li still didn't give up:
"With so many people here, could there be thieves or human traffickers sneaking in and taking advantage of the situation?"
Qin Du said calmly, "I'm here, the organizer will pick me up."
Uncle Li raised his head, looked at the sky, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, you don't need to show off here, just go and do your own thing." Qin Du shouted to chase him away.
Uncle Li bowed respectfully, walked to the door, and glared inside several times.
Qin Du, remember what you did today.
…
When Liu Jingheng arrived at the station, she was dumbfounded.
It was as if everyone in the world was kissing me, and everything was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
The question is, where should he go to get his ticket and where should he go to check in and get on the train?
He was pushed around like a dough by the huge crowd, and then he looked up.
Where is this?
Liu Jingheng, who was traveling far away for the first time, encountered a large group of people traveling. They were like a lonely boat drifting on the swaying boat. They squeezed and shoved their way out of the waiting hall.
Liu Jingheng:.
As I was hesitating, a man suddenly squeezed in next to me. Two buttons were missing from his shirt, and the two shoes on his feet were not the same style.
He had messy hair and quickly caught Liu Jingheng, saying weakly:
"Go...go to the self-service ticket machine over there to exchange your ticket..."
Liu Jingheng:?
"Thanks……?"
Liu Jingheng didn't know whether there were NPCs everywhere in the world of the book. When he was at a loss, there was always someone squeezing through the crowd to tell him the location of the ticket machine and the ticket gate. Even when he entered the waiting room, someone suddenly stood up and pushed Liu Jingheng over to sit.
Liu Jingheng still didn't understand the situation.
Liu Jingheng, who was traveling far away for the first time, was very cautious. She held her bag tightly, looked around every three steps and was alert every five steps.
Although his most expensive cell phone was already half exposed in his trouser pocket and was teetering on the edge.
At this time, in the car on the way to the finals, Qin Du heard his cell phone ringing.
After receiving the message, the other party sent a photo with six dots.
Qin Du clicked on the large picture, and the first thing that caught his eye was Liu Jingheng, who thought he was cautious and was always looking around, and then the mobile phone that was shaking precariously in his pocket.
Qin Du tapped the screen and sent:
【Put it back in his hand.】
The man put away his phone, picked up some instant noodles, and took advantage of the crowded aisle to stop by Liu Jingheng for a moment. Then he leaned over, reached out his hand inconspicuously, and pushed the shaky phone into his pocket bit by bit.
After it was stuffed in, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When I looked up——
Liu Jingheng: Oo?
"Um..." The man hurried to explain.
Liu Jingheng hugged her bag tightly and moved inside.
"I didn't..." The man opened his mouth again.
Liu Jingheng had already stuck to the person sitting inside, with her whole body in a C shape, trying to avoid the person's sophistry and attack.
"Alas..." the man sighed.
Halfway through the four-hour drive, it was dark.
Liu Jingheng no longer had the strength to hold the bag and was hungry.
He stared at the old man sitting next to him eating hawthorn slices and swallowed his saliva.
The old man couldn't stand his death stare anymore, so he quickly took out a piece of hawthorn and handed it to him, asking:
"Want a slice?"
Liu Jingheng rubbed her fingers, feeling a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to reach out.
At this moment, the aunt in the front seat suddenly turned around, snatched all the hawthorn slices from the old man's hand and stuffed them into Liu Jingheng's hand, and scolded the old man:
"You give the child whatever he wants to eat, and I'll buy you more later. Look how stingy you are!"
uncle:?
Ber, who are you?
Just as he was about to lose his temper, the aunt handed him a few hundred-dollar bills at the right time and instantly calmed his anger.
It’s my fault that I couldn’t buy more delicious hawthorn slices.
Along the way, Liu Jingheng indirectly snatched food from the tiger's mouth, including but not limited to:
I indirectly snatched a cheese stick from a four-year-old child, whose crying was soothed by a set of high-end toys;
He snatched the meat floss pancake from the college student, and before the college student could even say the word "grass", the new Apple four-piece set couldn't buy away his arrogance:
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. I still have noodles, vegetables and eggs. If you have the guts, you can exchange another four-piece set with me."
Liu Jingheng was full.
I feel full for some unknown reason.
At eight o'clock, the train slowly stopped at its destination.
Liu Jingheng was confused by the crowd that was dispersing.
Who am I? Where am I? Where am I born? Where will I go after I die?
Suddenly, someone snatched his backpack and ran away.
Liu Jingheng:?
He moved his clumsy body slowly and slowly to catch up, and when he looked up, he saw the moon outside.
Exit the station.
The person who had snatched his backpack also stopped and returned the bag to him: "It was a misunderstanding. I saw it wrong. I'm sorry."
Liu Jingheng stood there holding her bag, thinking.
It’s a long journey, and I always feel like I have no clue about anything, but everything is perfect.
A blush appeared on Liu Jingheng's calm face.
I can ride in a car, hey.
In the car park not far from the station, Qin Du put down the binoculars and said to the driver:
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. You can leave now."
The hotel Liu Jingheng booked was near the station. He couldn't understand the navigation, so he could only ask along the way.
The road became more and more remote, and there were fewer and fewer people.
Qin Du in the car frowned, picked up the binoculars again, and said to the driver:
"Sorry, please wait a moment."
driver:.
Liu Jingheng turned left and right until she came to a remote alley. It was pitch dark all around, and she could barely make out the sign on the low building in the night:
【Yingkelai Hotel】
The room was pitch black. Liu Jingheng hesitated for a moment, then approached cautiously and looked inside through the glass door.
The inside was very empty, with an old 28-inch truck parked inside and broken wooden boards piled up in a haphazard manner.
He could even smell a foul odor through the glass door.
This is a picture for reference only...
Never mind, maybe it's just a rotten outside with gold and jade inside.
With the last glimmer of hope, Liu Jingheng gently pushed the door open and walked in.
The stench grew stronger, forcing him to take two steps back.
"Ding Dong--" The sudden ringing of the bell in the darkness scared him.
"Is there anyone?" he asked in a low voice, covering his nose.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle came down. He was only wearing a large white vest. His round belly looked like a ball hidden under the vest, and it was shiny black.
"If you don't want to do business, please leave." The man said impatiently.
Liu Jingheng took out a screenshot:
"I booked your hotel online..."
"I already said I don't want to do business, so you should quit."
“Then I booked…”
"My place is haunted, it's very fierce, are you going to leave or not?"
Liu Jingheng: "Okay..."
Before leaving, I heard the man say:
"Go down this road and turn right. There's a hotel with rooms available."
Liu Jingheng found the hotel and stood at the door. Even if she tilted her head up high, she couldn't see the top of the hotel.
Although he didn't have much life experience, he knew that this place was not for ordinary people.
Just as I was about to leave, the receptionist suddenly chased me out:
"Sir, would you like to stay overnight? You happen to be our 10,000th guest, so we have a special offer: free accommodation and meals."
Liu Jingheng hesitated for a long time: "How much?"
The lady smiled and repeated, "It's free."
Liu Jingheng: “…Okay.”
In the car outside the hotel, Qin Du put down the binoculars, picked up his phone and sent a message:
[Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Li. Please debit the hotel fee directly from my card.]
Mr. Li: [Well, it's an honor for us to have Representative Qin stay at our humble abode. We wouldn't dare charge you.]
Qin Du: [How much is it? Pay with your membership card.]
After a while, he added: [Two rooms, I'll live in them too.]
After a while, he added: [It would be best if it were the room next to his.]
President Li: [Okay…]
*
The next day, Liu Jingheng finished her French breakfast delivered to her room and looked at the time.
There are still four hours before the race starts and he plans to set off immediately.
Because he was very clear about his confused nature, he would inevitably encounter various unexpected situations.
Liu Jingheng took some water, combed her bangs one by one in front of the mirror, and smoothed them to both sides, cheering for the team with the best spirit.
At this time, at the door of Liu Jingheng's room.
The tall man wore a baseball cap, a casual shirt and linen trousers, but his nobleness could not be concealed.
He lowered his sunglasses and then paced back and forth at the door of Liu Jingheng's room as if he was extremely bored.
As he paced, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips.
The scene that popped up in his mind later when Liu Jingheng saw him, he was first shocked, then his eyes filled with tears, and finally he stammered:
"Big, big boss."
Qin Du stopped laughing, and his expression changed in an instant, becoming as cold as the Antarctic permafrost.
Sure enough, after being with Liu Jingheng for a long time, he became abnormal.
While he was thinking, the door behind him suddenly opened.
Qin Du immediately cleared his throat, leaned against the wall, stretched out one leg leisurely, and looked at his phone very seriously.
His eyes subtly peeked out from over his sunglasses, observing the young boy who was fiddling with his schoolbag.
Liu Jingheng's uniquely bland and serious "Hello, Boss" even appeared in his mind.
Then he saw Liu Jingheng walking past him with her bag on her back, with no one in her eyes looking at him.
Qin Du:.
Qin Du lowered his hat, strode with his long legs, and instantly passed Liu Jingheng, bumping into his shoulder lightly, then stopped.
"Sorry. Huh? It's you."
Liu Jingheng looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her. Her super long reflex arc lasted for a century. As Qin Du expected, he was dull and serious.
"Hello."
The next sentence is: "Who are you?"
Qin Du's face turned cold, hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, and could not be seen clearly.
It's so rare, how can there be such people in the world.
Qin Du usually wouldn't waste time on such trivial matters, but if the other party was Liu Jingheng, his desire to win would emerge at an inopportune time.
For the first time, half jokingly, half mockingly, he said, "It's your father."
"Dad?" Liu Jingheng's voice suddenly rose.
After being silent for almost a century, Liu Jingheng's soft brows drooped, and she opened her arms and hugged the man in front of her tightly:
"Dad, why did you come to pick me up just now..."
Qin Du frowned, and unconsciously raised his arm that was hanging at his side, gently stroking Liu Jingheng's thin back:
"Sorry, Dad is late."
Qin Du: ...
"Liu Jingheng." He pushed Liu Jingheng away, his tone mocking, "So the vast oceans and mulberry fields you promised me in the game weren't revolutionary friendship, but rather a fatherly and filial piety."
Liu Jingheng hugged him again, burying her face in Qin Du's arms:
"Dad, don't say that."
etc.
This is the world in the book, where does the cheap dad come from?
Wait a minute, the vast ocean and the mulberry fields?
Isn't this a unilateral oath made between him and the boss?
Liu Jingheng straightened up, stroking his chin, and observing carefully. He circled Qindu several times, leaning in to smell the food, like a qualified butcher carefully selecting pigs to be slaughtered for the New Year.
Two minutes later.
"Boss?" Liu Jingheng slowly opened her eyes.
Qin Du snorted lightly, moved closer to his face, and lowered his voice very low:
"You and sloths share a reflex arc?"
Liu Jingheng: "Yes."
"Why are you here?" Qin Du asked casually, adjusting his cuffs.
"Watching the game." Liu Jingheng blinked, "Why are you here too?"
"On a business trip." Qin Du said it briefly and to the point, without making any nonsense.
Liu Jingheng simply ignored these two words:
"The game is about to start. If you have time now, can we go watch it together?"
Qin Du knew he had to change the subject. Once he started, Liu Jingheng would never let him go.
So he said, “No time.”
"Are we leaving now? How long will it take?" Liu Jingheng asked tirelessly.
"Leave immediately, probably two or three hours."
Liu Jingheng nodded and fell silent.
Qin Du breathed a sigh of relief. If he really got entangled by this guy, he would have to play two roles at the finals venue.
Liu Jingheng suddenly raised her head:
"Then I'm relieved. There's more than enough time. The finals will start in four hours."
Qin Du looked at Liu Jingheng dimly. Forget about this.
"I don't have a ticket and I can't buy one now." Qin Du said again.
"Is that so?" Liu Jingheng thought for a moment, "I'll try to get it for you. If I can, we can watch it together. If not, I'll broadcast it live for you."
Qin Du raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Tickets for this competition were almost unavailable, and it would be a wonder if you could get one on the day of the final.
"I'll go over first, let's contact each other on WeChat." Liu Jingheng put on his small schoolbag and left.
Qin Du watched his back disappear around the corner, took off his baseball cap, gently lifted his hair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
In his entire life, he had never felt it so difficult to communicate with anyone.
After changing into a suit, Qin Du got on the car provided by the organizer.
He also had to arrive at the venue early and go through the simple procedures.
Cars had a hard time moving on the crowded streets, and fans of each team were holding their support items and chatting enthusiastically.
Qin Du looked out the window with an indifferent expression. He couldn't understand the happiness that belonged to Liu Jingheng's age.
"Squeak!" Suddenly, the car braked suddenly and Qin Du frowned.
The driver turned around and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Qin, someone suddenly rushed out in front of the car."
Qin Du looked over and saw that it was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who stopped their car. He was wearing plain and worn clothes and holding an old cardboard with the words "Crazyly written on it" in his hand.
【Professional Plumber】
The driver waved at the man impatiently and explained to Qin Du:
"I'm sorry, Representative Qin, but there are so many people at the venue, and those on the roadside looking for work have seized the opportunity to stop cars. I'll contact the event organizers shortly and have them clear the area."
Qin Du said nothing, his eyes passing by the outside of the car for a moment.
Suddenly, he stopped.
He slowly turned his head, his pupils dilated slightly in shock.
Among a row of workers in plain clothes waiting for jobs, sat a young boy who looked out of place.
He was wearing a cute little European lace shirt, huddled up with his knees hugged, his eyes dull yet determined. There was a sign at his feet, with the words written in very elegant regular script:
【High price to buy back the finals tickets】
Qin Du straightened up involuntarily. Liu Jingheng, you're really good.
When Qin Du arrived at the backstage of the venue, he walked with brisk steps. The person in charge saw the distinguished guest coming and quickly extended his hand to greet him.
Qin Du shook hands with him briefly and spoke a little faster:
"Please give me a copy of the award ceremony document. I'm in a hurry right now and can't go through the process, but I will make sure there are no mistakes."
Now that it has been said, the person in charge has no reason to refuse.
Qin Du asked again: "Where is the changing room?"
The other side.
Liu Jingheng sits in a row with her legs crossed, waiting for the recruitment of workers. Honest.jpg
His fate with the boss began with a game. In a world that may disappear at any time, he also hopes that the oath they made to endure the hardships of life can allow him to witness the victory cheers of the game team with his own eyes.
An hour passed and several plumbers and electricians around him were recruited, but still no one was interested in him.
Poor, weak and stubborn.
The uncle next to him reminded him:
"You can't write that. You have to specify the exact high price. Some onlookers might be tempted by the money and sell their tickets."
After Liu Jingheng thought about it, he felt that what he said made sense.
So he added a line of small words below:
【You can pay with your flesh.】
Liu Jingheng nodded, and it was okay. He had seen in TV dramas that sexual compensation was the greatest sincerity.
Uncle: “…”
It would be strange if anyone paid any attention to him.
After a while, the uncle rubbed his eyes.
Hey, there are weird things every year, but this year there are especially many.
Liu Jingheng suddenly felt a dark spot above her head, and a pair of exquisite black leather shoes fell next to the sign asking for paid tickets.
I slowly raised my head, facing the light, and saw the tall figure outlined by the halo.
Liu Jingheng: "Would you like to transfer the ticket to me? I'll pay you with my body."
The visitor scoffed, picked up the sign, and said in a cold voice:
"Keep the sausage for yourself. It'll give you some protein and maybe make you smarter."
Liu Jingheng finally recognized his sunglasses and slowly stood up:
"Big, big boss?"
Qin Du turned his back to him and didn't even look at him:
"Don't worry about the tickets. A friend of mine can't come, so please give me one."
Liu Jingheng followed, tirelessly:
"Which friend?"
"I said you just knew him?" Qin Du stopped and turned around. "Also, I've been paying attention to him since the beginning."
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Liu Jingheng.
Liu Jingheng raised his eyes, and the big hand covered his forehead. The fingers ran through his hair and combed it back hard, making his traitorous hair, which had been smoothed with water and then fixed with hairspray, messy.
"You knew I would definitely accompany you to watch the game, so you deliberately embarrassed me?" Qin Du helped him tidy up his bangs, took two steps back and looked at him.
cute.
Liu Jingheng lowered her head and gently fiddled with the loose hair on her forehead.
The June wind made the boy's cheeks red, and today's summer seemed to come earlier than usual.
Therefore, the boss's hands are hotter than before.
The two waited in line at the door for a long time before finally getting in.
Admission required facial recognition and ID card scanning. Qin Du asked Liu Jingheng to go in first. When Liu Jingheng was about to turn back because she was worried about whether he would enter, Qin Du pointed to the sky:
"UFO."
Liu Jingheng slowly raised her head: "What dad?"
When I turned around again, I saw that the boss seemed to have taken off his baseball cap and put it back on.
The two of them entered the venue and found a seat at random.
Qin Du saw him take out a bunch of support items from his bag and couldn't help asking, "Which team do you like?"
Liu Jingheng: "I don't like any of them."
Qin Du: "I don't like watching any games."
Liu Jingheng: "This way, even if either side loses, I won't be sad."
Qin Du: ...
The atmosphere was lively, with bright lights and endless screams. Team members went on stage in unison to perform and hurled insults at each other.
Liu Jingheng didn't know much about this game and could only watch for fun.
Qin Du, who was standing aside, seemed a little absent-minded and kept looking at his phone.
The event organizer sent another message:
[Representative Qin, you haven't arrived yet? The match has reached match point. The outcome will be decided in one round.]
Qin Du put away his phone and said to Liu Jingheng:
"You watch first, I'm going to the bathroom."
Liu Jingheng's attention was still on the fierce competition in full swing, and she nodded absentmindedly.
