Chapter 57: Real Men Never Eat Sweets
In a coffee shop on the commercial street outside the school.
Sitting by the window, Huo Qiao quietly looked at his phone.
Pei Yuzhi, who was sitting opposite him, casually stirred the coffee with a spoon.
As his eyes moved, he would occasionally glance at Huo Qiao's face, and then lightly moved away.
The sunshine after autumn penetrated the glass, casting dots of light in this quiet space.
Pei Yuzhi half-raised his eyes and just happened to see Huo Qiao's hands casually placed on the table.
His fingers were slender and beautiful, and they tapped the table carelessly and leisurely.
In the air that was transparent under the sunlight, you could see tiny floating flocs, which slowly fell.
Pei Yuzhi's consciousness and breathing became a little lighter.
His eyes followed the dancing of those flocs. They slowly fell down, and in Pei Yuzhi's expectation, they finally stuck closely to the fingers that were moving up and down.
Boom.
The fingers fell abruptly, and the weightless knuckles hit Pei Yuzhi's heart heavily.
His eyelids twitched and he raised his eyes.
I don't know when Huo Qiao raised his eyes from his phone.
"..What's wrong?"
Pei Yuzhi was surprised as soon as he spoke. Why did his voice sound like this?
Hoarse and deep, as if he was tired after doing some intense exercise.
"This data is very well done. Did Cheng Yun collect it?"
"...I provided him with the idea."
"How about I call Zhong Lin over here, and you call Cheng Yun over too. We are both outsiders, so let them chat. What do you think?"
Pei Yuzhi took out his mobile phone and said casually:
"I'll let Cheng Yun go directly to Zhong Lin."
Huo Qiao's eyelids twitched and slightly lifted when he heard Pei Yuzhi's address.
The boy opposite was wearing a loose white sweater, with neat black short hair and outstanding brow bones.
Pei Yuzhi's handsomeness is unquestionable. When he appeared in front of Huo Qiao, the two of them always confronted each other.
He was also a talkative person, and Huo Qiao couldn't say anything to him, and he was always angry.
Every time he provoked him and made him lose his mind, Huo Qiao would leave unhappily. He seldom observed Pei Yuzhi's appearance carefully.
He was born into a privileged family. All his childhood classmates were from wealthy families and were good-looking.
And Pei Yuzhi's appearance was also first-class among these young masters with silver spoons in their mouths.
"Am I so handsome? Are you looking at me all the time?"
Pei Yuzhi couldn't help but say before calling Cheng Yun.
Huo Qiao's dark eyes were fixed on his face, making his ears slightly hot and a little uncomfortable.
The weirdness in his heart was interrupted, and Huo Qiao was speechless:
[It's a waste for Pei Yuzhi to have such a face with such a mouth. ]
Pei Yuzhi sighed lightly and raised his eyebrows.
Although he didn't admit it, he still thought he was handsome.
"Okay, you don't have to say it. I know you really think I'm handsome."
Pei Yuzhi had a smug look on his face. He glanced at Huo Qiao and dialed Cheng Yun's number.
Huo Qiao twitched his lips and drooped his eyes and picked up the coffee cup.
Cheng Yun answered the phone quickly. Pei Yuzhi talked to him, but his eyes were always on Huo Qiao.
Well, the focus was on Huo Qiao's drooping eyes with a little redness, and his thin lips moistened by coffee.
This boy is quite good-looking.
It is hard to tell whether it was jealousy or something else, Pei Yuzhi looked at him a few more times.
"..Mr. Pei? Did I offend you in some way? I just pissed off Short Potato and now you want me to take the initiative to find him?"
Cheng Yun's voice on the phone sounded distorted.
"Well, go find him quickly and give him the information of that movie star, and let the Zhong family handle it themselves."
"...That's what I just said."
"That's it."
Huo Qiao put down the coffee cup, and his tone was a little more relaxed:
"I owe you a favor this time. If you need any help, just tell me."
Pei Yuzhi paused when he heard this, and put the phone back on the table after a moment.
From love rivals to today, things are really unpredictable.
The two were silent for a moment, and Pei Yuzhi asked a question that was not mentioned in the original book:
"You should have guessed that it was Chang Fengyuan and Xie Jinchuan who wanted to mess with the Zhong family.
I have no other meaning, but I don't understand why you chose to come to Dongsu
, given Xie Jinchuan's current status and
no matter what he does, it can't affect your status ?" "If there was a buzzing fly on the table where you were eating, it didn't dare to land and eat your food, but it kept hovering over the food, making you feel disgusted, would you slap it to death?" Pei Yuzhi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this answer. Huo Qiao said in a very calm tone: "Besides, the Huo family is a very complicated family, with complicated interpersonal relationships and even more complicated human hearts. Both my grandfather and my father think they are in their prime. If I fight, they think I am overestimating my abilities, and if I don't fight, they think I am useless." After saying this, Huo Qiao suddenly laughed: "I heard that you are an only child, so your parents must have a good relationship. You naturally don't understand this kind of thing. Xie Jinchuan, as an extramarital product, is equivalent to bringing shame to the Huo family. But I know my grandfather and father,
They can make the decision to recognize Xie Jinchuan when necessary."
Pei Yuzhi blurted out: "As long as you are alive, they will not recognize Xie Jinchuan back."
Huo Qiao's eyebrows moved slightly, and he didn't quite understand what he said:
"You mean, Xie Jinchuan dares to kill me?"
Pei Yuzhi's eyelids twitched, not knowing if this was a spoiler.
He pursed his lips and looked away and said:
"I'm just guessing, after all, Xie Jinchuan can do something like cutting the brake wires of my sports car."
Huo Qiao didn't care much:
"If he dared to do something to me, it would definitely not be him who did it, but the Huo family who instructed him to do it behind the scenes. "
【After all, the ones who really wanted me to disappear were the Huo family father and son."
Pei Yuzhi's eyelids jumped when he heard his inner voice.
【However, if Pei Yuzhi hadn't mentioned the financial transactions between Chen Jian and Chang Fengyuan to me, I wouldn't have been able to convince my uncle to put pressure on the Huo family.】
【Tsk, come to think of it, I really have to thank him.】
[But, thank you later. Pei Yuzhi's tail is about to flutter to the top of his head.]
Huo Qiao's voice was full of disdain.
Pei Yuzhi opened his lips and snorted softly.
A good man doesn't fight with... Huo Qiao.
This cafe provides afternoon tea, and the waiters bring fragrant and delicious baked bread and desserts to the table.
Pei Yuzhi was quick to notice that Huo Qiao's eyes lit up for a moment.
He followed Huo Qiao's line of sight without making a sound.
Until Huo Qiao's eyes were fixed on the plate of juicy soufflé.
Tsk.
Pei Yuzhi didn't notice that he was like a stubborn donkey with smooth hair at this moment, and even the spiky hair on his head was softened.
With a tone of disdain, he pushed the plate of soufflé in front of Huo Qiao:
"You can eat this, real men don't eat sweets."
Huo Qiao suddenly raised his eyes:
"You mean, I'm not a real man."
Pei Yuzhi:? ?
"..When did I say that?" Pei Yuzhi's tone was a little low, "Besides, although you are a little smaller than me, you are also very big."
Huo Qiao's face was a little dazed.
What is it, it's small and big at the same time.
