Wan Qiu held the pillow and bedding and went to Chu Yigui's room again.
Chu Yigui just looked up, then took his pillow and quilt over and spread them on his bed.
"Let's talk late into the night." Wan Qiu crawled into his quilt and turned over to look at the other side.
Chu Yigui didn't say anything, but lay down beside Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui's profile, his mind filled with all kinds of messy thoughts.
How should I question Chu Yigui, how should I make Chu Yigui admit his mistake, how should I make Chu Yigui tell me what he is thinking.
As the quilt gradually became warmer, Wan Qiu's confused thoughts began to become chaotic.
The excellent biological clock directly brought Wanqiu into a dreamland in the soft bedding.
Chu Yigui tilted his head and looked at Wan Qiu’s sleeping face.
It seems that because I thought too much before falling asleep, my brows were furrowed after falling asleep.
Chu Yigui reached out and rubbed Wan Qiu's eyebrows.
Finally, he turned off the lights and lay down next to Wan Qiu.
Throughout the dark night, Chu Yigui was always listening to the breathing of the person next to him.
Faint, regular, it seemed as if I could still share the warmth on the huge bed.
The next morning, Wan Qiu followed Chu Yigui.
He washed up with Chu Yigui and watched Chu Yigui change into sportswear and go for a morning run. He couldn't keep up with Chu Yigui's speed, so he followed on his tricycle.
Chu Yigui came back to take a shower, and Wan Qiu was waiting at the bathroom door.
They had breakfast together.
Chu Yi returned to work and study, and Wan Qiu did his homework.
After Wan Qiu finished his homework, Chu Yigui once again opened Wan Qiu's Chinese textbook and found a half-written love letter from Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu looked at the letter paper, which was given to him by Wang Yue.
The pink letter paper is decorated with cute and beautiful little balloons.
But maybe it was because of the quarrel caused by this letter, Wan Qiu didn’t think it was so beautiful anymore.
"The content of the reply letter doesn't actually require any skills, and you don't have to write a lot." Chu Yigui said in Wan Qiu's ear, "The real meaning lies in what kind of content you want to write."
Wan Qiu held the pen and looked up: "Wouldn't you be unhappy because I wrote back to someone else?"
Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui's profile, and Chu Yigui looked at the letter.
When Chu Yigui didn't want to answer, he would always choose to remain silent. Wan Qiu thought that Chu Yigui would remain silent this time as he did before.
Inexplicably, the anger was about to come back, but Chu Yigui spoke first.
"She didn't leave her name, which proves that she didn't want a reply from you. If it was a confession, maybe she just wanted to let you know her feelings. You said it was a letter from a girl in your first year of high school, so it's probably just a thank-you letter."
Wan Qiu thought that when discussing the contents of the letter with Chu Zhang, Chu Yigui didn't seem to care, but he didn't expect that he actually remembered it very clearly.
"But..." Chu Yigui's voice was suppressed, "You will reply because this is your personality."
"If, if you say you don't like it..." Wan Qiu still knew how to distinguish between close and distant relatives.
"I don't like it."
Suddenly, Chu Yigui expressed it very clearly.
Wan Qiu slowly widened his eyes.
He looked up at Chu Yigui, his eyes full of surprise.
"Then...then...then..." Wan Qiu stuttered for a long time before finding his voice, "Then I won't go back, no..."
Chu Yigui's eyes fell on the letter paper: "I don't want you to force yourself to do something you don't like, even more than I want myself to."
Wan Qiu swallowed the next words.
Chu Yigui looked at him and said, "So let's choose a compromise. I'll teach you how to reply and politely reject the next exchange of letters. This reply will be the last exchange between you and her. Is that okay?"
"Ah... um..." Wan Qiu lowered his head.
Chu Yigui read his letter.
I asked him about the content of the original letter.
The questions were very clear.
Under Chu Yigui's guidance, Wan Qiu wrote a new letter.
The stationery was also changed to plain white paper, which looked solemn and lacked its beauty and vitality.
The neat handwriting and the written words, when Wan Qiu read them, he seemed to see the coldness belonging to Chu Yigui.
When Wan Qiu put the letter into the envelope, he went to see Chu Yigui.
He still looked calm.
But Wan Qiu felt that something seemed to be different.
It was like a stream that had been blocked for a long time, and after the annoying boulder was removed, the stream began to flow freely again.
Wan Qiu glanced at the envelope on the table.
He looked up at Chu Yigui again.
"Do you still think that I can casually date someone else and you can just watch?" Wan Qiu asked.
"meeting."
Chu Yigui’s answer left Wan Qiu confused.
"The prerequisite is that you can fall in love with others." Chu Yigui continued.
"What?"
Chu Yigui said: "Love itself cannot be forced. If you no longer like me and like someone else, I can't force you to still like me."
Wan Qiu stuttered, but this time he couldn't find a reason to get angry.
What Chu Yigui said is right.
"I like you." Chu Yigui said this calmly this time, "So I won't sit and wait for death. I will do my best to keep you liking me."
Wan Qiu looked eagerly, feeling that these words sounded a little strange.
but……
This seems to be true.
Wan Qiu couldn't figure it out. Did it mean that as long as he got angry with Chu Yigui once, he would do what he thought was right?
Wan Qiu asked doubtfully, "Has your state of mind changed?"
Chu Yigui sat in front of Wan Qiu.
His back was straight, always calm and peaceful. Vaguely, Wan Qiu seemed to see a huge pine tree that had grown without him noticing, standing proudly.
"What I want to do has not changed since the beginning. It is to assist you, make you happy and content."
Wan Qiu vaguely felt that the work content of secretaries and assistants seemed to be like this.
Just like Song Wenqiu and Zhao Jingyue.
So what Chu Yigui said is right?
"If obeying and indulging my wishes can make you happy, I will do it according to my own ideas."
Chu Yigui stretched out his hand, held Wan Qiu's hand, and gently pressed it against his cheek.
"I won't hold back any longer until you reject me."
Wan Qiu unconsciously stroked Chu Yigui's cheek.
Chu Yigui closed his eyes and leaned on Wan Qiu's palm.
Wan Qiu's fingertips brushed across Chu Yigui's eyelashes.
He slightly pressed the corners of Chu Yigui's lips.
Chu Yigui was as obedient as a tamed dog and let Wan Qiu rub him.
"Then why did it happen like that before?" Wan Qiu didn't understand.
Chu Yigui opened his eyes.
Wan Qiu once again saw the determined and stable person he longed for.
“Because of low self-esteem.”
"Inferiority complex?" Wan Qiu was stunned. He was totally unable to associate this word with the extremely outstanding Chu Yigui.
"I feel very inferior to you." Chu Yigui said.
"Why? Is there anything about me that could make you feel inferior?" Wan Qiu couldn't believe it.
"There are many, too many to count."
Because Chu Yigui loosened his grip on Wan Qiu's hand, Wan Qiu's slightly withdrawn hand was suspended in mid-air, revealing his confusion at the moment.
"What?" Wan Qiu asked.
Chu Yigui didn't answer, but he smiled.
Wan Qiu looked at this smile in confusion, which seemed a little strange at this moment.
"These reasons for my inferiority complex are also the reasons why I like you. If I have to say it out loud, even I would feel a little embarrassed."
Excuse me?
Wan Qiu suddenly realized what this embarrassment meant.
What Chu Yigui was talking about was probably shyness.
"If you must listen..."
"No, that's not necessary." Wan Qiu knew that it must be difficult to talk about embarrassing things.
But even though he didn't say it out loud, Wan Qiu inexplicably thought a lot about it.
Then I became shy for no apparent reason.
Just like shyness, it's contagious.
Wan Qiu patted his slightly burning cheeks and said, "Yigui, I didn't mean to be angry with you yesterday."
"It's my fault." Chu Yigui leaned on Wan Qiu's shoulder and pressed the teeth marks left yesterday. "I will change."
"I will also think of a solution with you." Wan Qiu said.
Chu Yigui supported himself on Wan Qiu's side with one hand and put the other hand around Wan Qiu's neck.
It enveloped Wan Qiu's body, allowing him to get closer to Wan Qiu.
Familiar temperature, familiar smell.
Chu Yigui has always believed that he is the only one who can feel the sense of security from Wan Qiu.
"good."
——
Chu Yigui found Chu Jianshu.
Say you need help.
Chu Jianshu was a little surprised. He told Wan Qiu at the beginning that he could come to him if he needed anything, but he didn't expect that the first person to find him was not Wan Qiu, but Chu Yigui.
"I hope to be a person who is good enough in your eyes." Chu Yigui said.
Chu Jianshu frowned and said, "In my opinion, you are already a good enough child."
Chu Yigui's abilities are obvious to all.
He was familiar with the company's operations and could get started much faster than Yang Ze.
Many times, Chu Jianshu lamented that it was a pity that he and Chu Yigui were not destined to be father and son.
"If you are talking about future career development, you don't need to be too anxious for now. Work ability also needs time to accumulate. More haste makes waste. I intend to train you. What you need is to calm down and take one step at a time."
But Chu Yigui didn't seem very satisfied with this answer.
Chu Jianshu frowned. He didn’t think Chu Yigui was a confused person. He didn’t know why he was so greedy.
"I want to be someone who is recognized by Uncle Chu and worthy of Wan Qiu." Chu Yigui said directly, "What I need is the highest goal you set."
At this moment, even Chu Jianshu was stunned.
"What did you say?" Rarely, Chu Jianshu suspected that there was something wrong with his understanding.
"Relying on my own thinking alone, I have already stagnated. For Wan Qiu, family is the most important people." Chu Yigui was serious and not joking at all. "I need your approval to become someone worthy of Wan Qiu."
Chu Jianshu's expression gradually darkened: "When you say worthy, do you mean what I think you mean?"
Chu Yigui probed his expression.
And Chu Jianshu heard Chu Yigui say: "Yes."
Chu Jianshu sat in his seat and was unable to speak for a long time.
Even the work on the desk is not as interesting as before.
Chu Jianshu clasped his hands between his eyebrows; his head had already begun to ache slightly.
Chu Yigui stood in front of him, tall, handsome, outstanding and highly anticipated.
This is a child who can be shown off at any time.
Now this child is preparing to do something extremely ridiculous.
"You know what you are talking about, right?" Chu Jianshu asked.
"yes."
"You come here specifically to tell me about this. Have you considered the consequences?" Chu Jianshu asked.
"yes."
"Then how can you still stand in front of me so confidently?"
Chu Jianshu vaguely felt that he was having difficulty breathing.
"I am just following your advice and doing what I want to do."
Chu Jianshu felt a terrible headache at the moment.
His face turned cold and his whole body was filled with low pressure.
He never thought that one day he would hear such a thing at home.
"Even if you are no longer my child, I have always treated you as my child and raised you as my child." Chu Jianshu said.
"I know very well, and I have always been grateful for your cultivation, Uncle Chu." Chu Yigui said.
"But now, you are coveting..." Chu Jianshu could hardly say, "Is this your way of repaying me?"
Chu Jianshu was already controlling his temper.
He was almost in a state of anger when he was suddenly exposed to such information.
"Wan Qiu said he likes me."
This sentence almost added fuel to Chu Jianshu's temper.
"You still have the nerve to say that! Don't you know Wan Qiu's character better than us? What does he know?!" Chu Jianshu held the folder beside him, veins bulged on the back of his hand and his joints turned white.
"I don't think his liking for me is romantic love, or maybe he's not sure now." Chu Yigui said.
"What did you say?" The sudden turn of events made Chu Jianshu a little confused.
"I won't ask Wan Qiu to be my partner, but I will agree to Wan Qiu's request."
Chu Jianshu frowned: "Are you putting the blame on Wan Qiu?"
"My love for Wan Qiu is one-sided. No matter who Wan Qiu chooses in the future, I will not stop him."
At this time, Chu Jianshu calmed down a little.
He stared at Chu Yigui and began to think.
"Out of gratitude, I will treat Wan Qiu better than anyone else, and I will obey all of Wan Qiu's requests unconditionally."
Chu Yigui seemed to be certain of Chu Jianshu's calmness before he began to narrate.
"He needs me, and I will do whatever he needs me to do.
He doesn't need me, and I will never betray him.
Liking and falling in love are the appendages of my feelings for Wan Qiu."
Chu Jianshu asked in a deep voice: "Then why do you have to mention love?"
"Prepare for a rainy day." Chu Yigui said confidently, "If Wanqiu only likes me in the future and is only willing to date me, then I will definitely respond to him. Before that, I need to make all preparations."
So that's why you ask to be someone worthy of Wan Qiu?
For the first time, Chu Jianshu felt that there were such tricky things in this world.
It’s simply…
Unreasonable.
"You've always wanted to grow up to be what others think you are. I thought you had gotten rid of this bad habit."
"I know very well that this is a bad habit." Chu Yigui lowered his eyes.
"Since you know it's a bad habit, you have to learn how to change it." Chu Jianshu has tried his best to calm down.
Chu Yigui said, "But this is the only way I know how to live."
Chu Jianshu suddenly fell silent.
"Even now, I don't know what I really want to do. The only thing I care about is Wan Qiu."
Chu Yigui's voice did not end, but continued, like exploding fireworks, constantly lighting up the night sky.
"I can't think like a normal person, and I probably never will."
"Satisfying Wan Qiu's goal is the only thing I want to do. This is my temperament."
"In that case, I intend to comply with it."
Chu Jianshu was even deprived of the strength to sigh. He said slowly: "Perhaps you should leave Wanqiu for a while. If you continue like this, you will lose yourself sooner or later."
Chu Yigui said, "An excellent employee with a slave mentality who is controlled by emotions, loyal to the company and never betrays, isn't that what you, as the leader of the company, want most?"
Chu Jianshu was speechless.
"You are not old enough to make decisions that will determine your future."
"If you think I will change my mind in the future, then there is no need for you to worry about me now."
Chu Jianshu felt a splitting headache.
He always felt that there was something hidden beneath Chu Yigui's perfection, but this was completely beyond the thinking of a normal person.
"You put everything on Wan Qiu. If you regret it in the future, you will hate Wan Qiu and it will be bad for Wan Qiu."
"Uncle Chu should have such concerns." This time, Chu Yigui did not refute.
But Chu Yigui's failure to refute gave Chu Jianshu even more of a headache.
If he insisted on his own opinion, Chu Jianshu could still say that Chu Yigui was full of hot-bloodedness.
But if he could still think, Chu Jianshu wouldn't even be able to blame him.
"Then use a more realistic method." Chu Yigui said calmly, "For example, in the contract, I must repay all the money you have invested in my training over the years.
I can sign a high penalty, a confidentiality agreement, and an agreement not to work in the same industry, etc.
If I regret it, with Uncle Chu's ability, I believe I will never be able to recover."
Chu Jianshu was shocked by Chu Yigui's decision to cut off his own retreat.
"Why do you have to go to this extent?"
"I know my limits. I cannot decide my own future. I can only follow the goals set by others.
So I really need Uncle Chu's help. You can definitely train me to be the most suitable for Wan Qiu."
Chu Jianshu understood.
Having said so much, Chu Yigui actually only has one request.
Chu Yigui wanted his affirmation.
She even asked him for the right to date Wan Qiu.
As a father, especially to a child like Wan Qiu, how could he agree to such an extremely ridiculous request.
But Chu Yigui is not a wild boy who appeared out of nowhere.
It was so organized that he couldn't even find a reason to refuse.
But in fact, as long as Wan Qiu said, "I like Chu Yigui and want to date him," he, as a father, would be completely helpless.
What Chu Yigui was doing was just to eliminate all of Wan Qiu's worries.
What's worse, Chu Yigui was actually using this method to eliminate his own anxiety.
Chu Jianshu suddenly felt that the situation was extremely difficult.
"Do you think Wan Qiu would like someone who has no self-thoughts?" Chu Jianshu asked.
"This time Wan Qiu was angry with me for the same reason. He thought I had no self-thoughts."
Chu Yigui's words made Chu Jianshu know for the first time the reason why Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu had quarreled.
"I used to look at everyone's eyes, yours, Uncle Chu's, Aunt Yang's, anyone's, not out of willingness, but for survival."
Chu Yigui's expression revealed a hint of tenderness.
"Now I want to just look at Wan Qiu, I think it's my own thinking."
Chu Jianshu couldn't refute.
This is indeed a huge improvement for Chu Yigui himself.
At least now he sounded so confident, which was completely different from before.
This is Chu Yigui's own determination.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Wanqiu changes in the future and no longer becomes the person you like, and you regret your current decision immensely?" Chu Jianshu asked.
"Although I don't think that will happen, I can't be sure. If that happens, I can only blame myself..."
Chu Yigui smiled, not docilely, but more like a desperate and paranoid smile.
"It's your own fault."
Chu Jianshu sat quietly in his chair, with no interest in doing the work at hand.
Chu Yigui was sent back to work by him, and he just said he would think about it.
Chu Yigui left without any objection.
After Chu Yigui left, Song Wenqi poked his head in and secretly glanced at Chu Yigui's expression.
Only then did he walk into the door with peace of mind, his expression was also very subtle.
Looking at Chu Jianshu's face, which could almost be described as melancholy, Song Wenqiu asked hesitantly, "Should we hire a psychologist for Chu Yigui?"
"He looks so stubborn now. I guess he won't listen even if I ask him." Chu Jianshu pressed his eyebrows and felt the pain.
"That's true. Children of his age are not likely to listen to what is said."
Because the door was not closed tightly, Song Wenqi heard almost the entire thing from beginning to end.
What kind of weird personality is this?
"I seem to understand why Chu Yigui was adopted and returned repeatedly in the orphanage." Song Wenqi said.
"Wen Qiu." Chu Jianshu said in a serious tone.
"I know, I'm not being mean to him." Song Wenqiu raised his hands to show his innocence, "I just think he really needs treatment."
Song Wenqiu has already tacitly acknowledged that Chu Yigui is ill.
"Compared to before, this is better. At least he knows how to expose the problem." Chu Jianshu sighed.
"Are you trying to find joy in misery?" Song Wenqi couldn't help laughing.
Chu Jianshu glanced at Song Wenqiu, and Song Wenqiu did not restrain himself either.
"At least for now, Chu Yigui is indeed very good to Wan Qiu. Although his thinking is a little strange, what he does is impeccable." Song Wenqiu has always been very confident in Chu Yigui's ability. "How about I ask the company's lawyer to draft a contract document for Chu Yigui? The one he just mentioned?"
"Don't cause me any more trouble." Chu Jianshu said coldly.
"I'm serious. Wan Qiu's situation is special and he's very dependent on Chu Yigui. If Chu Yigui is an ungrateful person who is greedy for money, just like Wan Qiu's former adoptive parents in prison, then it would be easier to accept that he is mentally ill, right?"
Song Wenqi shrugged. Since he could always find joy in misery, why bother himself so much?
Chu Jianshu stared at Song Wenqi sinisterly. Song Wenqi gradually calmed down, backed out of the door and closed it obediently.
Chu Jianshu turned around in his swivel chair and looked up at the sky outside the window.
His fingers tapped silently on the armrest.
In the huge office.
Everything was extremely quiet.
