This was the first time that Yu Qinghuan clearly said the word "like" to him. Huo Qu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately he felt like he had won the jackpot from the sky. He was so happy that he was a little overwhelmed.
He repeatedly confirmed with Yu Qinghuan: "Qinghuan, do you like me? Do you like me too?"
"Of course," Yu Qinghuan held his hand, feeling extremely regretful.
He always wanted to wait until everything was settled before confessing his feelings to Huo Qu. But he never thought about how uneasy Huo Qu would feel when he revealed his naked feelings to him but never received a response.
Huo Qu is different from ordinary people. He should be more tolerant of him instead of losing his temper with him at the slightest dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, Huo Qu, I took it for granted." Looking at Huo Qu's satisfied face, Yu Qinghuan felt very distressed. "You don't need to try not to care about this kind of thing, and you don't need to be sad in silence. When I do something wrong, you can also be angry with me."
"I... I'm not as good as you think. I'm very stubborn and easily insecure, so I'm always self-righteous. I'm sorry for making you suffer so much."
He knew clearly that Huo Qu was not a person who easily lost his temper, and that he was extremely sincere in front of him, but he still stuck to his own opinion.
Yu Qinghuan's eyes turned red. He felt that he had just finished work and was tired and exhausted. Huo Qu should understand him and let this matter go, and then everyone would be happy.
But he forgot that Huo Qu liked him and depended on him so much, and how uncomfortable he would feel when he couldn't see him for so many days and heard everyone saying that he liked Wang Chengcheng. Instead of explaining it to him carefully, I thought he was being unreasonable.
How sad Huo Qu must have been when he heard his own cold words.
Yu Qinghuan's heart ached and she wished she could turn back time to make up for her mistake.
"Qing Huan," Huo Qu didn't fully understand what he said, but he tried to pick out the part he understood and replied, "I don't..."
He paused at this point, and met Yu Qinghuan's encouraging gaze. It was as if he had made a major decision, and he said with difficulty: "I am a little angry. I saw the photo of you and her. You were very close."
He pursed his lips and said angrily and helplessly: "Qing Huan, she wants to take you away, I... am really scared."
Although he has been trying hard to learn, Huo Qu knows that he may never be able to understand other people's emotions as well as a normal person.
For example, his mother suddenly got angry last time, and Qinghuan’s cold face today.
He recalled the words he had been scolded by his classmates and even colleagues.
Mentally retarded, psychotic, monster, not a normal person, mentally retarded...
Those dirty words that he never cared about suddenly turned into sharp swords, piercing his heart fiercely.
He was so incompetent that apart from repeatedly talking about his IQ in front of Qinghuan, he couldn't even find any strengths in himself.
When he thought about Qinghuan being taken away by someone else and falling in love with someone else, Huo Qu could no longer suppress the negative emotions in his heart.
"Qing Huan," he said in a low, unconfident voice, "Do you really...really like me?"
"Why don't you like it?" Yu Qinghuan leaned on his chest. The fragments from the time they met until now flashed clearly in his mind. The corners of his lips curled up, and his voice unconsciously became gentle, "Everything about you is what I like."
Yu Qinghuan is a cold and introverted person. If she hadn’t had a quarrel with Huo Qu today, and if there hadn’t been such an atmosphere, she would have been very cold and introverted. Maybe he will never say such corny words in his entire life.
But now, the only thought in his mind was to make Huo Qu feel at ease. As for other things, they were not that important.
"He is dedicated and serious in his work, and is also very good at scientific research. Even his lack of direction is cute."
His gentle voice was like a spring rain that moistened everything silently, floating on Huo Qu's heart, making that slightly depressed heart bloom with a sweet flower in an instant. The heart of the flower seemed to contain intoxicating honey wine, making Huo Qu dizzy and intoxicated, his face flushed almost to the point of ripeness.
It turns out that he is so good to Qinghuan.
All the timidity and inferiority disappeared in an instant. Huo Qu rubbed Yu Qinghuan's head with his chin, leaving a deep dimple on his face.
The two of them hugged each other silently and warmly for a while. Yu Qinghuan suddenly remembered something. He gently pushed Huo Qu away and asked him, "Have you eaten tonight?"
"No." Huo Qu replied aggrievedly: "You called and said you were back, and I was so happy that I couldn't eat. I was sad when I saw the news, and I couldn't eat either."
He deliberately rubbed his stomach and said meaningfully, "I'm a little hungry."
I don’t know if it’s my mistake, but Yu Qinghuan always feels that Huo Qu seems... a little bit willful?
But this is a good thing. Yu Qinghuan got up from the bed, said, "Wait for me for a moment," and went into the kitchen.
I originally wanted to get some fast food for him, but I saw a table full of cold dishes that had not been eaten.
Guessing that it was probably delivered by the Huo family's bodyguard or driver, he turned on the gas stove and planned to reheat the dish.
Just as he picked up a plate of food, he was suddenly hugged from behind. Huo Qu put his chin on his shoulder and stuck to him like a piece of taffy.
"Let go. It's inconvenient for me to work." Yu Qinghuan said, and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that he didn't move, she turned her head. Just as she was about to say it again, Huo Qu quickly kissed her on the corner of her lips.
His eyes were sparkling, and when he saw Yu Qinghuan looking at him, he did not dodge like before, but looked at him shyly but confidently, as if to say: What's wrong with me kissing my boyfriend?
Yu Qinghuan couldn't do anything about him, and he didn't have the heart to scold him. What's more, he felt his warmth from behind, which made his heart feel relaxed.
So, next, Huo Qu just held Yu Qinghuan in his arms, following her every step, until the food was all heated up, and then he reluctantly let go.
"Eat less, just enough to fill your stomach." Despite saying so, Yu Qinghuan still pushed all the dishes in front of him.
Huo Qu nodded and picked up the chopsticks somewhat awkwardly.
"You eat first, I'm going to make a phone call." Yu Qinghuan said to Huo Qu, took out his cell phone and was about to go out, but was stopped by Huo Qu.
"Fight here." He said, and for the first time put forward his request in a rather tough manner.
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then sat down again, "Okay."
"Brother Rui has something to talk to me about." Yu Qinghuan explained to him while dialing Zhao Rui's number.
"Brother Rui, is there any new arrangement for Orange and Yellow?"
The current box office of "Orange Yellow" is close to 500 million. Although the upward trend has slowed down, it is still not to be underestimated. I heard that some movies have postponed their release dates because of "Orange Is Yellow".
However, the promotion of "Orange Yellow" has already passed. What could Zhao Rui want from him at this time?
"Orange Yellow was selected as the best film of the quarter and will be released in Australia City." Zhao Rui's voice was still flat, as if the film that achieved such good results was not directed by him. "I plan to let you go with me."
"Well... I don't think I need to go." Generally speaking, in this situation, only the director and producer need to be present, and it has nothing to do with the actors at all.
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Or is there any special arrangement?"
He just came back, and next up is the promotion period for "Life and Death Line", so he wants to spend more time with Huo Qu.
"Ahem," Zhao Rui coughed awkwardly, and said vaguely, "I'm not that person. I just saw your recent news."
Yu Qinghuan thought he wanted her to avoid Wang Chengcheng, so she said, "It doesn't matter. Now the rumors have been cleared up, and netizens are all condemning Wang Chengcheng. This matter has nothing to do with me anymore."
"No." Zhao Rui made up his mind and said what he meant in one breath, "Didn't the villagers say that if you sit next to them, they will win by playing mahjong. I... want to go to the casino in Australia City when the time comes."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
He suddenly missed the dead-looking Zhao Rui who disliked everyone.
Just as she was about to decline, her left hand on the table was suddenly grabbed. Yu Qinghuan looked up and saw Huo Qu looking at her expressionlessly, not even eating.
Knowing that he was afraid that he would leave again, Yu Qinghuan held his hand, gave him a comforting look, and said to Zhao Rui: "Sorry, Brother Rui, I have something to do and I really don't have time."
"What can you do?" Zhao Rui sneered, "Isn't the promotion period for "Life and Death Line" not over yet?"
"Accompany my boyfriend." Yu Qinghuan replied without any pause.
Zhao Rui was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Is it Huo Qu?"
For someone who once didn't care about life and death, homosexuality is nothing.
Yu Qinghuan was surprised, "How did you know?"
He and Huo Qu just confirmed it today. Has Zhao Rui opened his third eye? !
Zhao Rui took a puff of his cigarette and said calmly, "From the way you two are so clingy, only Zhao Qingyuan, that idiot, can't see it."
Yu Qinghuan, who was inexplicably labeled with a sticky label: "..."
Now that the words have been spoken, Yu Qinghuan has no pressure to refuse, "Brother Rui, you know that I definitely won't have much time next time, so I won't travel around during this period."
"You can take him to Macau with you." Zhao Rui still did not give up, "Anyway, I need you when I go to the casino."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
But what Zhao Rui said made sense. He and Huo Qu had known each other for so long, but they had never gone out together. Yu Qinghuan thought for a moment and asked, "When are we going?"
"the day after tomorrow."
Yu Qinghuan calculated that the day after tomorrow was Saturday, so he covered the receiver and turned to ask Huo Qu: "Huo Qu, do you want to go out and play?"
Going to a distant place with the person he loves is a new and novel experience for Huo Qu. He thought about it and nodded seriously: "Yes."
"Okay." Yu Qinghuan let go of the receiver and said to Zhao Rui, "I'll check if Huo Qu has a pass. If he does, we'll go."
"Okay." The pass was indeed a problem, and Zhao Rui understood it. He left a sentence: "Tell me the result as soon as possible." Then he hung up the phone.
There is no point in asking Huo Qu whether he has a pass or not, as he doesn't even know about such things. But when she thought about the fact that she had abducted Huo Qu, Yu Qinghuan couldn't help feeling guilty. She hesitated for a long time and didn't even call Huo Rong.
In the end, he timidly handed the phone to Huo Qu and said, "You call and ask your brother yourself."
He always felt that he was ready to face the Huo family, but when the moment came, Yu Qinghuan found that he still couldn't do it. No matter how much mental preparation he did, he still felt guilty and timid.
Huo Qu didn't struggle as much as he did. Without even any hesitation, he attacked Huo Rong directly.
Listening to his righteous voice, Yu Qinghuan scratched his palm enviously. At the critical moment, he had to let his Professor Huo take action.
"My second brother said there is one," Huo Qu looked very happy, "the driver will deliver it tomorrow morning."
"That's good." Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. While handing chopsticks to Huo Qu and asking him to continue eating, he sent a message to Zhao Rui to settle the matter.
Because of Zhao Rui's strong request, they bought the earliest flight from the city to Australia, but even so, it was already seven o'clock in the evening when they landed.
Zhao Rui seemed to be impatient. He hurriedly put his luggage back into the hotel, bought a few pork chop buns downstairs, withdrew Hong Kong dollars, and then took Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu to a casino that had been selected long ago.
He heard from others that if he wanted to win money he must not play in the casino of the hotel where he was staying, so he deliberately went a long way and ran to another one.
The casino looks very grand and the interior is decorated in a magnificent style. It was Zhao Rui's first time to enter such a place. He looked left and right, extremely excited. He vowed to Yu Qinghuan, "Just wait, I will definitely exchange more chips to win some money!"
Yu Qinghuan ignored his madness, took Huo Qu for a short walk, turned around and whispered to him: "How is it? Do you want to play?"
Huo Qu had no interest in such things and shook his head when he heard this.
Yu Qinghuan didn't want to play either. He was really afraid of his weird luck. One lottery ticket was enough and he was never greedy.
The two of them hit it off and decided to just watch Zhao Rui have fun.
"I exchanged for 50,000 chips." When Zhao Rui said this, his expression was as if he was cutting flesh. "I swear I won't be a human being if I don't double it back!"
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
So when he said "a lot", he meant 50,000? And where does he get so much confidence that he will definitely win!
As if he could see what he was thinking, Zhao Rui winked at him and said, "Don't you have the koi fish here? Actually, I wanted to exchange it for 5,000 yuan."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
With an unstoppable momentum, Zhao Rui rushed to the gambling table and strongly demanded that Yu Qinghuan stand behind him and not leave for a second.
Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
Fortunately, Huo Qu was around. While watching Zhao Rui, he explained the rules to Huo Qu, so it wasn't too boring.
Unfortunately, even with Yu Qinghuan's help, Zhao Rui's luck was still very bad. Generally speaking, you will win a little when you go to a casino for the first time, but he didn't win once from beginning to end!
After a while, he had almost lost all the chips in his hand.
Zhao Rui grimaced in pain, "Damn it, I shouldn't have come here if I had known! Fifty thousand dollars, just gone in vain!"
He paused and squinted at Yu Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, you are unlucky today."
"It was just a coincidence before." Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It was just a joke. Why do you take it so seriously?"
"No, it could also be that I used up all your luck last time." Zhao Rui sighed. Just as he was about to put his hand on Yu Qinghuan's shoulder, Huo Qu stared at him fiercely. Helplessly, he had to retract his hand and threw two 100-yuan chips to Yu Qinghuan. "I don't want to play anymore. I'm too sad. You spend this. Let's go quickly."
"Okay." This time, Yu Qinghuan did not refuse.
He was unlucky today, so it's okay to play one round.
Looking around, they saw that Sands Poker was the closest to them, so they walked up to the gambling table and pressed the start button. After showing the cards, the bet was placed directly.
The first card was the Ace of Spades, and Zhao Rui joked, "You're not going to get a straight flush, are you?"
He immediately received contemptuous looks from the other people at the table. They had been in the casino for so many years and they had seen countless tourists like this!
Can a Flush be drawn easily? ! Daydreaming!
Yu Qinghuan didn't take it seriously. He gave Zhao Rui a quiet look and continued to show his cards.
However, as his cards were revealed one by one, the looks of his tablemates gradually changed, and even a lot of people gathered around him.
J, Q, K, appeared one after another as if they had made an appointment. Many people began to wonder in their hearts, wondering if this guy was really going to draw a straight flush.
Yu Qinghuan's heart trembled slightly, and he wanted to quit immediately. However, once the gambling started, he could not stop it for any reason. He could only bite the bullet and open the last card.
Ten of Spades.
"Hiss!" There was a sound of gasps all around.
It turned out to be a straight flush! Still a big flower!
With only two hundred dollars, he won eight million six hundred thousand!
What kind of luck is this!
The whole casino was in a frenzy!
A large number of security guards rushed over as quickly as possible, tightly blocking the card table and not allowing anyone to approach. At the same time, Yu Qinghuan and the other two were surrounded and protected tightly.
The top person in charge of the casino came forward and registered his ID number and pass number.
The entire casino instantly entered a state of highest alert, with people only allowed to leave but not enter. The scene was grand and spectacular.
It was only at this moment that Zhao Rui finally reacted. He covered his throbbing heart and fiercely spat out two words: "Fuck!"
The author has something to say: I encountered the casino incident when I went to Macau last year. Unfortunately, I was in a meeting at the time and did not see it with my own eyes. I felt so sorry after hearing about it from my colleagues, so I’ve borrowed some information here.
