Chapter 60 Is it fun to lie to me? Master Shi?
Qin Jixiu asked Song Zenghui what happened immediately.
Song Zenghui snapped back to his senses, his eyes dodging for two seconds before he forced a smile. "Nothing, it's just that my dad sent me a message saying he's introduced me to a girl from a neighboring city, and asked me to meet her quickly when she comes home for the New Year."
He spoke very seriously, even making up the girl's occupation and their mutual friends in a flawless manner. Qin Jixiu and others who were listening nearby did not really suspect anything.
After dinner, Song Zenghui didn't invite them to have tea and chat as usual. As soon as Qin Jixiu asked to leave, he stood up and took his coat: "Then I'll take you downstairs."
The light in the elevator reflected his tense profile. Qin Jixiu looked at him twice more but did not ask any more questions.
Shi Rui was still driving.
Qin Jixiu was sitting in the passenger seat, flipping through the playlist. His fingertips paused on the screen and he selected an English song with a lively rhythm.
When the dynamic prelude sounded, he subconsciously tapped his knees lightly to the beat. Shi Rui glanced over from the side of the road, and seeing the faint smile in his lover's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
As the car turned into the secluded road leading home, Qin Jixiu's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
The words "Song Zenghui" flashed on the screen. He raised an eyebrow and answered the phone with a smile in his voice, "What's wrong? Did I forget something?"
As a result, as soon as Song Zenghui said the first sentence, the smile on Qin Jixiu's lips froze and his face turned cold.
"Well," he replied in a low voice, "and then?"
Song Zenghui said, "I was torn about whether to tell you, but I was also worried that he had other motives for hiding it from you. So after much thought, I decided to tell you. I've sent you the photos, but don't rush into an argument. Ask him the reason first. It's New Year's Day, don't let it dampen your spirits."
"I understand." Qin Jixiu's voice was so low that it seemed frozen. After hanging up the phone, he stared at the photo on the phone screen that he had not yet opened, his fingertips cold.
Shi Rui keenly noticed his change in mood, turned the steering wheel slightly, slowed down the car, and asked softly, "What's wrong? What did Song Zenghui say?"
Qin Jixiu glanced at him sideways, then took a sharp detour, "It's okay. Zeng Hui's family's business is facing some difficulties. We, the Qin family, have industry barriers with them, so I can't help. They made their fortune in the catering industry, but now they can't come up with anything new in their hotel business. I don't know where to learn from them."
After he finished speaking, he paused deliberately: "I heard that Mr. Shi from your Lincheng has recently become the major shareholder behind the Ancient Street Scenic Area. Your brother is familiar with him, can you help to connect him?"
Shi Rui tightened his grip on the steering wheel and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding: "I'll ask Shi Xi when we get home. It should be fine."
Qin Jixiu laughed.
He looked out the car window, but the smile on his face gradually faded and melted into the cold winter night.
When they got home, Shi Rui took Qin Jixiu's coat as usual, helped him hang it up, changed his shoes, and then ran to the kitchen to cut fruit for Qin Jixiu.
When Shi Rui came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, the living room was empty. Only the light was on in the direction of the study, and there was a crack in the door.
He walked over quietly and pushed open the door to see Qin Jixiu sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen with a frown on his face, not even noticing him come in.
"Are you still busy with work?" Shi Rui lowered his voice.
Qin Jixiu turned his head, a familiar smile instantly appeared on his face: "Yeah, it's just a small matter, go play some games, I'll be back soon."
Shi Rui nodded, put down the fruit and walked out.
The moment the door was gently closed, the smile on Qin Jixiu's face suddenly disappeared.
On the computer screen was the homepage of Shengwen Group’s official website.
This was the first time he understood an area that he was not familiar with, and he secretly wondered whether the Shi family and their Qin family had a feud.
Recalling the scene when he met Shi Wenjun at the cocktail party last time, Qin Jixiu felt that it was not the same.
Why did Rui conceal his identity and infiltrate Zhengfeng at that time?
What kind of new type of pig-killing scam is this targeting him?
How come Ye Bo happened to use Shi Rui's photo?
Is all this a coincidence or was it deliberately arranged by someone?
Qin Jixiu gripped the mouse tightly, his knuckles turning white.
He looked down at the grapes on the table. They had been carefully peeled and each one was crystal clear.
If Shi Rui approached him for some purpose, why would he be so thoughtful and considerate? Why would a young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth lower his status for him, going to work every day like an ordinary employee, and always appearing obedient and respectful?
Qin Jixiu couldn't understand.
Can he ask?
If he asked Shi Rui, would Shi Rui tell him the truth?
Qin Jixiu closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He picked up his phone and saved the Shi family photo Song Zenghui had sent him.
There was a record player in the study, so he called Shi Rui over and invited him to enjoy a song together.
It is an English song, which roughly means "I don't want to hear your lies, tell me what you are thinking, don't say you are thinking about him."
Shi Rui thought the song was ironic, but he didn't understand its other meaning.
Staring at those innocent eyes, Qin Jixiu turned off the music and spoke calmly, as if chatting: "You said before that your uncle is a tea farmer. Have you ever thought about buying a house in Jiangcheng and bringing your uncle and aunt over? Lincheng is cold and damp in the winter, unlike Jiangcheng in the north of the river, which has heating."
Shi Rui scratched his clothes with his fingers and said, "They are used to living in Lincheng and don't want to leave."
Qin Jixiu's eyes locked with him. "What about you? Do you want to go back? You've been working in Jiangcheng for so long. Do you really think Jiangcheng can be compared to your hometown? Or is working in Jiangcheng just a stepping stone to 'work hard while you're still young'?"
"I..." Shi Rui sat up straight.
Qin Jixiu looked at him, expecting him to tell the truth, yet afraid that he would admit it. What if Shi Rui said that he was just with him on a whim and thought it was fun?
Shi Rui was definitely going to return to Lincheng to inherit the family business. Before starting this relationship, had he really thought clearly about his future? Was Qin Jixiu also included in that future?
Qin Jixiu waited for a long time. He clearly saw Shi Rui's evasive eyes. Then, Shi Rui spoke with difficulty: "I haven't thought about it that much. Zhengfeng is very good. I will cherish the days working here. Besides, you teach me a lot. I may not have such a good opportunity if I return to Lincheng."
Qin Jixiu shook his head in his heart.
With Shi Rui's father Wenjun acting as a teacher, why would he worry about not being able to learn how to do business?
But he still didn't want to give up and wanted to give Shi Rui another chance to confess. He suddenly stood up, leaned against the desk, and said casually, "How about we play a game?"
Shi Rui looked up at him, his eyes full of confusion: "What game?"
Qin Jixiu explained: "It's very simple. Take turns asking questions. For example, you can ask me, 'Do you have any secrets that I don't know?'"
Shi Rui was silent for a few seconds.
Qin Jixiu urged him: "Ask."
Shi Rui asked him, "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
Qin Jixiu said quickly: "I didn't. Now it's your turn to answer. Are you hiding something from me?"
The study became quiet.
Shi Rui's gaze lingered on his face for a long time, and he finally looked away: "No, I didn't hide anything from you."
Qin Jixiu's heart sank completely.
In the next few days, Shi Rui felt that Qin Jixiu was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.
Qin Jixiu's house was very warm, even a little hot for the young and energetic Shi Rui, so sometimes he would move around the room with his upper body naked.
In the past, at times like this, Qin Jixiu would come over and pinch his muscles and buttocks.
But in the past few days, he deliberately appeared in front of Qin Jixiu several times, but the other party just glanced at him and looked away without even saying a word.
That night, Shi Rui was cooking in the kitchen. He deliberately took off his shirt, revealing his smooth back and firm chest muscles.
While cutting vegetables, he secretly observed Qin Jixiu in the living room, but the other party just glanced at his back and went to another room.
Shi Rui was slightly surprised.
When Qin Jixiu came out to pour water, Shi Rui deliberately cleared his throat. He tied on an apron, revealing his sexy back. With this figure, chest muscles, and skin color, he could be the number one welfare male bodhisattva on some platform.
But Qin Jixiu still didn't take another look.
This is not right. This is so wrong.
After dinner that night, Shi Rui saw Qin Jixiu wearing a shirt without pants. After he put on the shirt clip as he liked, the sense of alienation between him and Qin Jixiu disappeared without a trace.
Shi Rui stared at the pair of white legs under the light. His nose became dry, his eyes burned, and he almost had a nosebleed.
Qin Jixiu sat on the sofa, hooked his finger at him, and said with a lazy smile: "Come here."
Shi Rui immediately pounced on him regardless of anything.
Qin Jixiu felt like a large furry dog was pressing on him. He was distracted by the dog and remembered the important matter. He raised his foot and patted Shi Rui on the butt.
Shi Rui uttered a puzzled sound: "Hmm?"
"Go to the bed, the sofa is dirty."
Shi Rui nodded vigorously.
After moving to another position, Shi Rui discovered that Qin Jixiu's handsome face was hovering above his head. Qin Jixiu had an ambiguous and seductive smile on his face. Shi Rui felt dizzy and could only hug him and bite him.
Qin Jixiu endured the pain on his lips, and his hands did not stop moving, once, twice...
When Shi Rui reacted, he found that his hands had been tied up with a belt by Qin Jixiu. Qin Jixiu stood up, stood on the bed, and gently stepped one foot between his tied hands.
Shi Rui thought Qin Jixiu was going to play some exciting erotic game with him, so he blinked and looked at him expectantly.
Qin Jixiu smiled at him, but the smile disappeared in a flash.
He asked condescendingly, "Is it fun to lie to me, Master Shi?"
Hearing this, Shi Rui's chaotic mind started working rapidly. Song Zenghui's call, Qin Jixiu's estrangement in recent days, the test just now... all the things were connected at once.
Shi Rui struggled violently, pulling his hands out from Qin Jixiu's feet. Regardless of the pain in his wrists caused by the belt, he knelt on the bed with a plop.
