After three consecutive days of exams, Cheng Yan said that she and her friends had made an appointment to go on a long trip together, and would return to Beicheng to spend the New Year with them two months later.
After Zhou Yuyi and Uncle Zhou passed away, Cheng Yan often went on long trips. Jiang Han thought she was trying to ease the pain in her heart, so he just reminded her to be safe and take care of herself before leaving.
When Cheng Yan was not at home, Qi Wuchen and Ling Jianghan would do exercises and read books together on the coffee table in the living room at night, and Chuyi would often lie lazily beside them.
That night, after Ling Jianghan finished a math test paper, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. Qi Wuchen then put down the vocabulary book in his hand to check the answers for him.
Qi Wuchen had just finished reading the previous multiple-choice questions when the phone on the sofa next to him suddenly rang.
He stood up, picked up the phone and took a look at it. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone for Ling Jianghan.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. After Qi Wuchen pressed the answer button, he subconsciously wanted to say hello to the person on the other end, but the other party's voice completely stuck his "hello" in his throat.
The voice was none other than Ling Yiyan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is that Jiang Han?"
Qi Wuchen glanced at the bathroom not far away where the sound of water still lingered, and asked calmly in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Ling Yiyan, who was already used to Ling Jianghan's cold words, laughed dryly and said, "Dad knew you wouldn't want to change your number. That little bitch Cheng Huan came to me yesterday afternoon and said she wanted me to take you abroad to study in three days, and she would cover all the expenses..."
"Ling Yiyan." Qi Wuchen's voice almost immediately turned cold, and he interrupted him without any disguise: "I reminded you three months ago not to cause trouble for Ling Jianghan again."
Ling Yiyan on the other end of the line obviously didn't expect it to be him who answered the phone. He was stunned for a moment before stammering, "You...why are you the one who answered the phone?"
Qi Wuchen did not answer his question. He laughed coldly and hung up the phone. He then blocked Ling Yiyan's number without hesitation.
Ling Jianghan just came out of the bathroom at this time. He was pressing the towel on his head while staring at him curiously and asked, "What are you doing with my phone?"
"Oh." Qi Wuchen put down his phone without changing his expression, sat back on the sofa and continued to show him the questions: "I wanted to check the time, but I accidentally picked up the wrong one."
Ling Jiang Han stared at the mobile phone that Qi Wuchen placed on the coffee table for a long time, but finally did not ask any more questions.
It's nothing more than checking a cell phone. If you ask too many questions, it will seem like you're hiding something shameful.
As he thought about it, Qi Wuchen actually asked this question, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that you are hiding something from me?"
Ling Jianghan was not afraid of any shadow after drying his hair. He went to the bedroom to get a hairdryer and said indifferently, "What can I hide from you? If you want to look at your phone, just look at it yourself. Who cares?"
Qi Wuchen was amused by Ling Jianghan's reaction and watched him enter the bedroom.
Ling Jianghan had a little habit. When he went into the bedroom to blow dry his hair, he would close the bedroom door so as not to disturb Cheng Yan who was resting next door.
Qi Wuchen, who was lying on the sofa, heard the door close and immediately picked up his phone to make a call. It didn't ring twice before Qi Zhinian on the other end answered: "Hello?"
His voice was low, likely because he was still in his study, reading documents. Qi Wuchen didn't waste time beating around the bush and asked directly, "If I give you the sample tomorrow at noon, when will the paternity test results be available?"
"Tomorrow at noon?" Qi Zhinian withdrew his hand that was about to touch the cigarette box, thought for a moment and asked, "Is Cheng Huan looking for him again?"
"Cheng Huan and Ling Yiyan want to send him abroad." Qi Wuchen held a red pen and scribbled on Ling Jianghan's paper.
"They're wishful thinking." Qi Zhinian finally took out a cigarette and said pointedly, "Your Aunt Yun is already asleep. Don't bother her by sending her messages."
"Oh." Qi Wuchen responded.
I thought to myself, I’ll just bother her tomorrow.
Qi Zhinian lit a cigarette before slowly saying, "If we send him to your uncle He's hospital, we should be able to get the results within three days."
"Then come to school tomorrow at noon to pick it up." Qi Wuchen said, and then he suddenly remembered something: "The Shen family's driver was in a car accident not long ago. Have you heard about it?"
Qi Zhinian flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "I heard from Chen Qie that the car accident was caused by the deceased running a red light."
"The deceased is Ling Jianghan's stepmother." Qi Wuchen said.
"What a coincidence?" Qi Zhinian was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I remember Chen Qie also gave the family an additional compensation. Ling Yiyan shouldn't be short of money right now."
"Who knows what he did with the money." Qi Wuchen blurted out vaguely.
Qi Zhinian paused flipping through the documents after hearing this. Before he could say anything, Qi Wuchen on the other end continued, "I'll hang up now. I still need to explain the problem to Ling Jianghan."
"You live together?" Qi Zhinian put the rest of his cigarette into the ashtray.
"Yeah." Qi Wuchen didn't deny it: "After I get the qualification for admission, I can have more time to help him with math."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Jianghan came out of the bedroom after drying his hair.
"Hang up." Qi Wuchen did not explain the ambiguous words he just said. He threw down these two words and hung up the phone.
"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Ling Jianghan walked over and sat down next to him.
Qi Wuchen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ling Jianghan to ask on his own initiative.
He first reached out and lifted the person up to sit on his lap. He then stuffed the pen into Ling Jianghan's hand and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you not care before?"
Ling Jianghan looked up at him while holding the pen: "What don't you care about?"
"Who am I talking to on the phone?" Qi Wuchen hugged her tighter. "Before, when I called someone or replied to a message, you were beside me and couldn't even spare me a glance. Why are you asking me today for the first time?"
"Then just pretend I didn't ask." Ling Jiang Han lowered his eyes and prepared to turn over the paper in his hand.
"Why are you still angry?" Qi Wuchen held his hand, lowered his head, and stared straight into those charming eyes: "What I mean is that you ignored me before, and it made me very sad."
Ling Jiang Han moved the hand he was holding, as if he was a little dissatisfied: "How could I ignore you?"
"You did." Qi Wuchen placed a light kiss on his face, his voice sounding a little aggrieved. "When I was talking to grandma on the phone at the dinner table earlier, you didn't even glance at me. You just glanced at me and continued to eat your meal."
Jiang Han blinked and said nothing, as if he was trying hard to recall which day Wu Chen was talking about.
When he raised his head and looked into Qi Wuchen's eyes, Qi Wuchen moved his fingers and gently scratched the back of his hand twice: "Do you remember?"
Jiang Han tightened his grip on the red pen and looked at him calmly, "I just think it's not good to ask too many questions about other people."
"Someone else?" Qi Wuchen laughed unhappily. He placed his other hand on Ling Jianghan's neck, his slender fingertips fiddling with the red and gold necklace. "You're not very familiar with your boyfriend?"
"No." Ling Jianghan grabbed the extremely restless hand.
"Then ask more often next time." Qi Wuchen's canine teeth gently rubbed the side of Ling Jianghan's neck: "I want a clingy boyfriend."
Ling Jianghan pushed his head and said, "Then go find another one."
"No." Qi Wuchen bit Ling Jianghan's earlobe: "Only you."
"Hiss," Ling Jianghan was a little numb from the bite, and pinched his arm randomly: "Did you turn into a dog?"
Qi Wuchen was secretly happy even after being scolded. He put his arm around Ling Jianghan's waist and said, "My dad asked you to come home with me after the final exams."
Jiang Han paused for a moment, and as expected, he said, "Go back by yourself."
Qi Wuchen kissed him behind the ear and said gently, "He has a gift for you."
"No need." Ling Jianghan still said.
"Aunt Yun picked out the gift," Qi Wuchen lowered his head and kissed the mole on his right cheekbone. "They said you would like it."
"Just take it."
"That's what they gave you," Qi Wuchen said with some regret, "If you don't go, they won't give it to me even if they give it to someone else."
"I……"
Jiang Han still wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, Qi Wuchen's kiss fell on his lips without any warning, greedily and wantonly plundering his gradually heavier breathing.
The red pen in Jiang Han's hand slammed onto the paper with a "click", and his right hand grabbed the edge of the coffee table in fright.
Qi Wuchen firmly clasped his hand on the coffee table, and after a while, he loosened his grip a little, saying in a hoarse voice, "My dad and the others already know about us. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward if you didn't come back with me?"
Jiang Han's breathing was still a little unstable, and his voice was much hoarser than Qi Wuchen's: "How... did they know?"
Qi Wuchen reached out and put Chuyi, who was lying next to him, on the ground. As if afraid that Chuyi might hear him, he whispered in Ling Jianghan's ear, "I'm actually the one who dislikes cats the most. From the day I brought you back, Aunt Yun and the others knew everything."
