Chapter 66 Reply
Just like what I said to Kan Zherui before.
When Lin Qingxu was a child, he really didn't like Kan Zhao for a while.
It was even worse when I was in kindergarten.
After Kan Zhao beat up the little boy who pulled Lin Qingxu's braids and yelled "Lin Xiaoxiao can only be bullied by me", Lin Qingxu's dislike for Kan Zhao, the big devil, increased day by day.
At one point, she didn't want to go to kindergarten anymore because Kan Zhao was there. At least at home, she could hide in her room and not go out.
Of course, Gao Luo was still playing the role of a strict mother at that time, so it was naturally impossible for her to let Lin Qingxu not go to school.
However, during the summer vacation, seeing that Lin Qingxu was really afraid of the little devil next door, he discussed with Lin Haidong where to take her to play.
Qionghai, as a tourist destination, was the result of their discussion.
There, Lin Qingxu spent the happiest childhood vacation ever. Because of his good looks, he was especially popular with children and adults alike.
Gao Luo, Lin Haidong and the Qu couple were old friends, so when they met in Qionghai, they inevitably visited each other more often.
Qu Wen, influenced by his parents from a young age, had acquired a certain air of elegance and refinement. Lin Qingxu was surrounded by a bunch of little kids, so he'd never seen a big brother next door like him.
Not to mention that the other party treated her patiently and gently.
One time, when Lin Qingxu and Qu Wen were watching TV together, Gao Luo looked at Qu Wen who came to their place every day and suddenly had an idea. She asked Lin Qingxu, "Qingxu, do you like Brother Kan Zhao or Brother Qu Wen?"
Kan Zhao was fighting for three days and getting beaten by Uncle Kan for four days. He's not good at literature, martial arts, and has a bad temper. How could I possibly like him?
Lin Qingxu immediately said: "I don't like the bad Kan Zhao, I like Brother Qu Wen the most."

The boomerang from more than ten years ago hit him right between the eyebrows.
Lin Qingxu murmured, "Huh?" His voice was very soft, more like a question to himself.
Although she didn't remember it at all, but...
Lin Qingxu felt a surge of heat lingering in her face, her cheeks and ears burning hot. She could almost feel Kan Zhao's gaze, a curious, half-smile in her eyes.
She was a little on pins and needles.
But at this moment, that vague childhood memory caused a faint ripple at an inappropriate time.
like……
seem……
Did you really have such a vague impression?
Lin Qingxu lowered his head and pretended to stare intently at the shrimp in the bowl that Kan Zhao had just peeled. Although avoiding it was cowardly, it was effective.
There was a moment of subtle silence at the table.
Qu Wen looked at Lin Qingxu, who seemed to want to bury his face in the bowl, and glanced at Kan Zhao, who had an indecipherable expression across from him, and smiled gently.
His parents may not know that the other party is here, but he knows Kan Zhao.
He stepped in to smooth things over at the right time: "Mom, that was all so old news from many years ago. You can't take a child's words seriously. Qingxu was so young at that time. I guess he didn't even understand what love meant. He just thought it was fun to have someone to play with."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but when he heard Qu Wen call Lin Qingxu's name "Qingxu" so affectionately, the emotions in his eyes became even more turbulent.
Qu's mother also belatedly noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little strange. She immediately followed her son's words and said with a smile, "Look at me, when I'm happy, I talk a lot and tell all kinds of jokes. Qingxu, don't mind it. Auntie is just so happy to see you."
The meal seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, there were undercurrents.
When the banquet was over, the two sides gathered at the hotel entrance. Seeing that it was getting late, Qu's mother asked Qu Wen to take Kan Zhao and Lin Qingxu back home.
However, Kan Zhao politely declined: "We drove here too."
As if mentioning it casually, the answer was somewhat irrelevant to the question: "We live together."

Finally, both sides said goodbye and the Qu family left first.
Kan Zhao looked at Lin Qingxu who was standing beside him, still a little absent-minded. It was late autumn, and the night breeze was a little chilly. He put the scarf in his hand around her neck.
"Let's go," Kan Zhao said, but his tone was clearly one of settling scores. "Can staring blankly satisfy your hunger?"
Lin Qingxu came back to his senses, said "Oh", and followed his footsteps obediently.
The two walked side by side in the hotel corridor, speechless for a moment. The moonlight and the lamplight stretched their shadows very long.
After getting in the car, Kan Zhao didn't continue the previous conversation. The neon lights outside cast a shadow on his profile. Lin Qingxu sat upright, not looking away. Although Kan Zhao hadn't mentioned it yet, she always felt that he would talk about it.
There is a red light at the intersection ahead.
Kan Zhao stopped the car.
The red light time in Nanchuan is particularly long, especially on streets in central cities like this one, where you have to wait for several minutes.
After shifting gears, Kan Zhao leaned back slightly in his chair, but his eyes lightly fell on the red tips of Lin Qingxu's ears.
He spoke slowly, "So you didn't like me so much when I was a kid?"
He asked this question casually, but also seemed to be speaking specifically to someone. However, besides Kan Zhao, Lin Qingxu was the only other person in the car.
"No...no." Lin Qingxu looked out the side window.
Kan Zhao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and looked thoughtfully at the ostrich-like figure beside him, and said in a long tone: "I hate bad Kan Zhao the most, do you like Brother Qu Wen?"
To be honest, this was just childish talk, and it was just a joke once in a while, nothing serious. But Kan Zhao was a very overbearing person. Even if it was what Lin Qingxu said when she was little, she might not think so now. But Kan Zhao just wouldn't let her go of her previous deviant thoughts.
"That's what I said before. It doesn't count now and doesn't represent who I am now."
"Oh?" Kan Zhao suddenly turned sideways, leaning slightly towards Lin Qingxu, lowering his voice with a hint of teasing.
"This sentence was said in the past, it doesn't represent you now."
"What about now? You mean you don't like Qu Wen now. You like Kan Zhao the most now."
A warm breath brushed past her ear, and Lin Qingxu shuddered. She raised her head and blurted out:
"certainly……"
Kan Zhao had dug a trap for her and asked two questions.
The first part must have confirmed what he said, but the second part must have denied it. But Kan Zhao asked it directly.
How should she answer?
When she looked up at Kan Zhao's smiling eyes, Lin Qingxu knew she had been fooled. She saw from the corner of her eye that the countdown ahead was only a few seconds away, so she gently pushed Kan Zhao and answered irrelevantly: "The light is green, let's go."
Kan Zhao looked at her blushing face, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little.
He stopped pressing her, suppressed the dark emotions in his eyes, curled his lips, raised his hand, and ruffled her hair very naturally.

If Kan Zhao continues to have a crush on her, Lin Qingxu can pretend not to know as before.
But this kind of extreme explicitness might be okay two or three times, but after more than one time, Lin Qingxu knew that he had to give an answer.
