Chapter 61 Do you have evidence?
There is nothing more difficult to describe than knowing that your mortal enemy has a crush on you.
Chu Tianheng's expression kept changing at this moment, and he didn't even know what expression to use to deal with this matter. In the end, all he could say was just one sentence: "Fuck!"
No wonder he always ran into Song Xiaoming inexplicably when he attended events in the past. Chu Tianheng used to think that this was a narrow road for enemies to meet, but now... hehe.
"Second brother?" Qi Nian's expression was particularly cautious, and he blinked his deer eyes and looked at Chu Tianheng eagerly.
The latter turned his head and looked at him with a dim gaze.
Qi Nian subconsciously shrank his neck and stammered, "Are you...are you okay?"
"You knew it a long time ago?" Chu Tianheng did not answer the question of whether he was good or not, because the question was very obvious.
"Ah... um..." Qi Nian stuttered for a long time but couldn't say any useful information.
Looking at his reaction, Chu Tianheng didn't even have to guess, his brother had indeed known it for a long time.
"You're quite good at hiding it, Qi Xiaonian." Chu Tianheng sat up straight, smiled charmingly, adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, and looked at Qi Nian.
"It...isn't considered a secret, right?" Qi Nian wanted to cry but couldn't. He regretted that he couldn't hold back his tears and was overheard by his second brother.
Chu Tianheng started to bring up the past again: "I was wondering why you always look weird every time I mention him. Now that you knew about this, why didn't you remind me?"
"How to remind me..." Qi Nian said dryly.
Judging from his second brother’s current reaction, if he speaks out, he might be implicated as well.
Second brother is really unreasonable. Qi Nian could only complain in his heart.
Chu Tianheng's expression was a bit difficult to describe. Finally, he looked at Qi Nian with a warning: "Don't tell anyone. Do you hear me?"
Qi Nian nodded quickly, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and he almost raised his hand to swear.
Chu Tianheng sighed and said, "I have to stay away from that pervert in the future."
Obviously, he thought that falling in love with his mortal enemy was a very abnormal thing. Chu Tianheng was outspoken by nature, and for the first time he had the idea of hiding and messing with someone.
"Second brother..." Qi Nian was a little bolder, and even dared to secretly jump on his second brother's thunder and lightning: "But, that Song Xiaoming really likes you, he has been secretly in love with you for a long time, since..."
"Stop!" Chu Tianheng looked at Qi Nian with a smile, his voice was particularly gentle: "Niannian, if you say that, it will be easy for my second brother to suspect that you are an undercover sent by that gang."
Chu Tianheng was so scary. Qi Nian shuddered and shook his head quickly: "No, I was just... just saying it casually."
Chu Tianheng wanted to say something, but the staff told him that everything was ready and asked him to go out and shoot.
Chu Tianheng's MV shooting this time, the set and the venue are very expensive, anyway, there is no time to waste, now that he is told that it is possible to shoot, he has to go there immediately. After all, every minute and every second costs money.
Some parts of Chu Tianheng's clothes are made of metal, so they look good, but they are extremely heavy, so he needs several people to help him hold the clothes.
When they reached the door, Chu Tianheng turned around and looked at Qi Nian: "Just wait for me here, we'll talk after this is over."
Qi Nian nodded obediently, but was thinking in his heart: Only a fool would wait.
Originally, his second brother had not said this, and he was still hesitant. But since the other party said so, he had to slip away.
However, Qi Nian still had some brotherhood in his heart, so he didn't leave immediately. He watched Chu Tianheng finish filming the snake scene, made sure that he was fine, and then left immediately.
He even didn't dare to use his second brother's driver, for fear that he would not be able to leave if his second brother found out.
On the way home, he received a message from Sang Yu. The two talked for a while. Qi Nian saw that Sang Yu's new place was near where he was now.
Since it was such a coincidence, the two of them made a plan and Qi Nian simply went to find Sang Yu.
Sang Yu said that he had just made lunch, and when he heard that Qi Nian had not eaten lunch, he asked Qi Nian to come and eat with him.
Qi Nian originally wanted to refuse, as it was too embarrassing to ask for a free meal at someone's home.
result……
[Sang Yu]: I accidentally made too much, it would be a waste if you didn’t come.
【Qinian】: Here I come!
According to Sang Yufa's location, Qi Nian arrived at the community where the other party was located.
This community has a good environment and is located in a good location in the city. However, because the community was built early, the rent is relatively cheap.
Sang Yu even went to the gate of the community to pick him up.
As soon as the two arrived at Sang Yu's house, they smelled a fragrance. It was not overbearing, but it made people's mouths water.
"Hey, we just moved in and bought a lot of new things. I used to use that pot to measure the portions, but this time I changed the pot and accidentally made too much." Sang Yu was helpless.
"It smells so good." Qi Nian didn't expect Sang Yu's cooking to be so delicious.
"Really? Thank you for the compliment. I like to study these things when I have nothing to do." Sang Yu was very happy that his cooking skills were recognized: "You can come over often for dinner when you have nothing to do in the future."
Qi Nian took a bite of the crispy lotus root and blinked: "I'm so embarrassed..."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm pretty bored being alone." Sang Yu felt quite sad. He used to have a lot of friends, but later on, for reasons that are well known to all, he had fewer and fewer friends.
I still have friends now, but: "Almost all of my current friends are people I met after work. They are called friends, but in fact they are colleagues. As for colleagues, it is enough to have fun with each other at work. Once get off work is over, we won't even send each other a message. Maybe we have seen each other's face enough at work."
I can't say I hate it, after all, when I'm slacking off at work, I have so much fun chatting that I wish I didn't have to work for even a second. Maybe people nowadays are used to separating work and personal life.
It is difficult to make true friends at work. After all, we are colleagues and competitors.
Sang Yu rarely refuses his friends' requests. It's not that he is a people-pleasing person, but he just cherishes the simple friendship he had in the past.
As a result, I still don’t have many friends now, but fortunately I met another friend, Qi Nian. Although they are several years apart in age, they get along well, so Sang Yu sincerely welcomes Qi Nian to come over for meals often.
After all, besides work, people still have to live.
As a corporate slave who once worked for a period of time, Qi Nian could relate to what Sang Yu said.
And because Sang Yu is such a nice person, friendships always go sour, and in the end he has no friends left. Who can he turn to for justice?
Qi Nian patted his chest and said that he would come to play with Sang Yu often in the future.
After finishing the meal, Sang Yu went to the kitchen to get some fruit. He explained, "There's a grandmother living across from me. When I first moved in, I was short of some seasonings and so on, and she lent them to me. I went to give her some fruit."
Qi Nian nodded and followed Sang Yu.
Sang Yu knocked on the door opposite, but the old man was slow and took a long time to open the door.
The old lady has gray hair, but she looks in good spirits and has a gentle and kind look, which makes people feel good about her.
As soon as she saw the fruit that Sang Yu brought, the old lady quickly rejected it: "No, no, kid, it's just a little seasoning, do you really need to write it down? I, an old lady, am embarrassed to accept it, so take it back!"
Qi Nian was not very good at such occasions of mutual courtesy, so he just stood aside quietly.
However, Sang Yu was quite handy at this and he managed to persuade the old lady to accept the fruit.
In the end, somehow, the two of them were invited into the old lady's home.
The old lady's house was very clean and it was obvious that she was very diligent. Qi Nian sat obediently beside her, sipping tea.
Then he looked at Sang Yu with admiration as he was chatting with the old lady. Why did he feel that the friends he knew all had such strong social skills?
After the two talked, Qi Nian learned that the old lady's surname was Niu, and she was now in her early seventies. Apart from a grandson, there was no one else in the family.
The old lady was also a miserable person. Her husband died early, and she raised a son and a daughter. Later, her daughter started her own family, and her son got married and had children.
I thought good days were finally coming, but fate played a trick on me. My son and daughter-in-law were killed in a car accident, leaving behind only a little grandson.
The married daughter wanted to bring the old lady to live with her, but the old lady was fifty years old at the time, still relatively young, and she had to take care of her grandson, so she refused.
In this way, it took another twenty years to raise my grandson.
As the old lady gets older, she likes to talk about the past. Besides, not many people talk to her about these things normally, so once she starts talking, she can’t help but tell almost everything about the past.
"Your grandson has grown up now. He has finally made it through." Sang Yu comforted Grandma Niu.
Upon hearing this, Niu Nainan was silent for a moment, and her smile was a little forced.
Maybe she didn't want to talk about this, so she changed the subject.
Just then, a sound suddenly came from a bedroom next door. Qi Nian was startled. The house was so quiet just now that he thought there was no one else at home.
As a result, a young man in his twenties walked out of the room with messy hair, sleepy eyes and greasy hair, as if he had just woken up.
Qi Nian looked at the time and it was already afternoon.
The young man glanced at Qi Nian and Sang Yu, then looked away with disinterest. He saw the apples that Sang Yu had brought on the table, so he took one and started to eat it without even wiping it.
After meeting the young man, Qi Nian and Sang Yu finally understood why Grandma Niu kept silent when they were talking about her grandson just now.
Perhaps she felt ashamed, as Grandma Niu showed a bit of embarrassment on her face and couldn't help but say a few words to the young man.
The young man frowned impatiently: "Are you annoyed? Can you shut up? Where's the meal? I'm hungry." After saying that, he sat down on the sofa and started clamoring for food.
Qi Nian looked at the young man and almost wanted to curse him.
Seeing that Niu Nainan stood up tremblingly and went to the kitchen to cook for the young man, Sang Yu and Qi Nian couldn't bear to watch it anymore and stood up to say goodbye.
After returning home, Sang Yu couldn't help but frown: "Why is Grandma Niu's grandson like this? Not only does he sleep until this hour, but he also has to let the old lady cook for him."
Qi Nian didn't know what to say: "Maybe it's because I'm too tired from work?"
Sang Yu almost laughed when he heard this, but he was still angry. After all, it was someone else's business and he couldn't do anything about it.
Qi Nian had to go to class the next day, so he left Sang Yu's house in the afternoon.
He didn't let Sang Yu send him off. The temperature in Beijing had dropped drastically recently. It was too cold and there was no need for Sang Yu to come out and freeze with him.
After getting out of the elevator, Qi Nian wrapped his coat tightly and covered his exposed face with his hat to keep himself warm.
When we were about to leave the community, we saw a couple kissing each other on the road. They were not wearing thick clothes, and their hands were exposed and were frozen red. But this did not stop them from being in love. Qi Nian was a little impressed by them.
He didn't look at it for long, just walked out with his neck hunched, thinking: I have to wear a down jacket tomorrow, it's so cold...
When I passed by the couple, I heard the girl muttering unhappily: "Our family must have a house. If we don't have one, we should break up."
"No." A familiar voice sounded, and the other party sounded anxious, afraid that the girl would break up with him: "Don't we have a house here? It's a two-bedroom house in Beijing, which is good enough for us to live in."
"Is that your house?" The girl didn't want to be fooled and said in dissatisfaction: "I don't want to live with an old woman. It's so troublesome!"
"What should we do? We only have this one house. Do you know how expensive housing is in Beijing? I can never afford it in my lifetime anyway." The boy said in a self-destructive tone.
"Then let's break up!" the girl said, and was about to shake off his hand.
The boy immediately got anxious after hearing this: "You are too cruel, aren't you? You want to break up with me just because I don't have a house?"
"Yes!" said the girl.
"Okay, I think of a way, isn't that enough?" The boy rubbed his hair irritably and said, "Don't you just want to not live with my grandma? I think of a way to deal with her!"
At the same time, a gust of wind blew by, and Qi Nian saw the boy's face clearly. No wonder the voice was familiar, because he had just met him at noon. The other party turned out to be Grandma Niu's grandson.
The image of Niu Nai Sunzi was completely different from the sloppy look at noon. He changed into clean clothes, washed his greasy and messy hair, and applied hair gel. He looked more like a human being than at noon, so Qi Nian did not recognize him at first.
But he couldn't think too much at the moment. His mind was full of what Niu Nai's grandson had just said. Deal with it? How to deal with it? The cold wind blew on him, and Qi Nian instantly got goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but shiver.
Perhaps he had been staring at the other person for too long. Niu Nai Sunzi frowned, stared at Qi Nian with a pair of eyes, and looked at him viciously: "What are you looking at!"
Qi Nian was startled and quickly looked away, quickening his pace. He could still hear the voices of Niu Nai's grandson and his girlfriend in the distance, but he could no longer hear what they were saying.
After returning home, Qi Nian relaxed, but when he thought of what his grandson Niu Niu said, he frowned. Maybe he had misunderstood what the other person meant?
Maybe, just sending the milk back home or something?
Qi Nian pursed her lips, but still couldn't help but send a message to Sang Yu, asking him to pay attention to Niu Nainai recently.
Sang Yu was a little confused and asked him why.
Qi Nian couldn't just tell Sang Yu nonsense just because of a random remark he heard, and let Sang Yu share his wild imagination.
[Qinian]: It’s nothing, I just feel that Grandma Niu’s grandson is not very reliable, and it’s not safe for the elderly to be left without someone to take care of them.
After Qi Nian finished sending it, he started to worry again. Would it be too much trouble for Sang Yu? Originally, he was the one who loved to worry about things...
Just as I was thinking about it, Sang Yu sent me a message.
[Sang Yu]: Don't worry, that's what I thought. Our homes are close, so I just need to pay attention occasionally. Besides, Niu Niang is really nice. She just gave me some steamed buns she made.
[Sang Yu]: I think Niu Nainai is in good health and is fine.
Qi Nian let out a breath and felt relieved for the time being.
【Qinian】:Yeah.
As soon as Chu Rongshi entered the room, he saw the tiny Qi Nian, curled up on the sofa in a daze, with his little curly hair fluttering slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Niannian." He called the other party.
Qi Nian came back to his senses and smiled: "Brother, you are back."
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Rongshi lowered his eyes and saw that his hands were a little red, so he asked, "Are you cold?"
"It's okay. I just came back from outside and I'm still a little cold." Qi Nian realized that his hands were a little cold and he couldn't help rubbing them.
Chu Rongshi stood up, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Qi Nian: "Drink some hot water."
Qi Nian felt a little embarrassed, as if it was always his brother who took care of him like this. He took the cup of water, and his slightly cold fingers touched Chu Rongshi's hand. The latter's fingers curled slightly, and he withdrew his hand without a word.
"Thank you for the hot water, brother." Qi Nian held the warm wall of the cup, and his hand was instantly less stiff. He smiled at Chu Rongshi, his beautiful deer eyes shining brightly, as if filled with starlight.
Chu Rongshi paused briefly, then looked away and stood up: "Yeah."
——
When Qi Nian got home from school the next day, he found that the house had suddenly become very warm.
When he saw that the floor heating was turned on, he asked Ning Min in surprise: "Auntie, didn't they say that it usually takes another half a month for the heating to be turned on? It's turned on earlier this year?"
The weather is indeed cold now, but it is not to the point where we need to turn on the floor heating. It’s just that Qi Nian is a little afraid of the cold.
"How can it be said to be early? I don't know what happened to your elder brother, but he contacted the property management yesterday to ask for early heating." Ning Min said puzzledly: "I didn't know your elder brother was so afraid of the cold."
Everyone thought: "!!!"
It turns out it was because of my brother!
Qi Nian changed into short-sleeved shirt at home, feeling very happy. Hehe, I thought it would be cold for several days, but I didn’t expect my brother to be so kind and even turned on the heating in advance!
After being happy for a while, Qi Nian suddenly thought of something and took out his cell phone to send a message to his brother.
[All in unison]: Thank you, brother!
【Joint Thoughts】: Little sheep rolling all over the ground.jpg
[Chu Rongshi]: I'm outside the door.
What a coincidence? Qi Nian quickly ran to the door and opened it, and sure enough, Chu Rongshi who had just returned from outside appeared.
The latter also took off his suit jacket and wore a shirt, and his slightly bulging muscles could be seen when he moved. He didn't look skinny, nor was he exaggerated, and every part was just right.
Qi Nian poked his head out of the room, his soft little face resting on the door frame, a piece of cheek flesh squeezed out, and his little curly hair swaying with his movements, showing his owner's good mood.
Because he was so happy, when he saw Chu Rong, Qi Nian couldn't help but said happily: "Brother, you are so nice, Pen Core!"
As he said this, he raised his hand and made a small heart shape with his thumb and index finger.
Chu Rongshi was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the small heart formed by the fingertips. The sudden action of the young man seemed to make a hole in his heart.
Before he could come to his senses, Qi Nian's excitement had passed and he reacted first. His social phobia broke out. He coughed awkwardly, put his hand away, and said casually: "Brother, you should go and rest quickly. I...I want to read a book!"
After saying that, he quickly closed the door.
Chu Rongshi looked at the closed door, stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Qi Nian naturally didn't hear Chu Rongshi's laughter. As soon as he closed the door, he couldn't help but throw himself onto the soft bed. Thinking back to what he had just done, he covered his face and rolled over on the bed, kicking his feet randomly.
Ahhh! How embarrassing! I can't believe I would do something so embarrassing!
Qi Nian rolled around for several rounds, her face flushed red, perhaps out of tiredness or embarrassment.
He buried his head under the pillow like a frightened little lamb, feeling that he was too ashamed to see his brother for a while.
Because... as a socially anxious person who feels embarrassed from time to time, he might think of the scene just now when he sees Chu Rong.
He stretched out his hand and made a heart shape.
His brother didn't react.
You may wonder why he does this.
Wuuuu... I am too embarrassed to see anyone!
Fortunately, I didn't run into Chu Rongshi the next morning. Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the house.
Recently, when I was chatting with Sang Yu, we would talk about Niu Nainai's recent situation intentionally or unintentionally.
Niu Nainai is doing well and has recently made all kinds of delicious food for Sang Yu.
Sang Yu was obviously captivated by the delicious food and almost wished the milk was his own.
Qi Nian saw that everything was normal with Niu Nai and there was nothing wrong with her, so he thought, maybe I'm overthinking?
That's right, after all, he is Grandma Niu's grandson. The two have depended on each other for many years. How could the other do anything bad?
However, Qi Nian soon realized that he was too relieved too early.
One day, Qi Nian went to Sang Yu's house when he had nothing to do, and heard a quarrel in Niu Nainan's house. It started out as just a quarrel, but later on, there were sounds of things being thrown.
Sang Yu and Qi Nian were worried, so they went to knock on the door and found debris all over the floor of Grandma Niu's house. Grandma Niu's grandson was furious, and when he saw Sang Yu and Qi Nian coming, he immediately stopped talking, glared at the two of them, muttered "mind your own business", then slammed the door and went straight back to his room.
Grandma Niu was a very clean old lady, but at this moment her hair was a little messy and her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Afraid that Sang Yu and Qi Nian would notice, he could only wipe his tears secretly and force a smile at them. It was heartbreaking to see the old man like this.
Sang Yu and Qi Nian looked at each other and didn't dare to ask any more questions. They helped Niu Nainai clean up the debris on the ground and left.
A few days after this incident, Qi Nian heard from Sang Yu that Grandma Niu was not in as good health as before and didn't smile as much.
Sang Yu seriously suspected that Grandma Niu was angry with her grandson. He felt uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to complain to Qinian that Grandma Niu's grandson had no conscience.
[Sang Yu]: It was not easy for Niu Nainai to raise him all by herself. I really want to crack open his skull to see what kind of filthy things are inside.
It's not easy to make someone as good-tempered as Sang Yu so popular.
Qi Nian pursed her lips when she saw the message from Sang Yu. His health deteriorated? Although the old man was old and it was possible that he was angry, Qi Nian still couldn't help but worry. Was this really the reason?
The words of Niu Nai's grandson "Find a way to get rid of her" came to his mind again.
Qi Nian's brows were furrowed.
"I don't see any problem with Niu Nainai, but I feel that her spirit is not as good as before." Because he was really worried, Qi Nian came to Sang Yu's house again that day. After asking Sang Yu, he said to Fang Qiumei.
"Is it really because of anger?" Qi Nian said.
Sang Yu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
The two of them couldn't figure out what was going on, so Qi Nian stayed here for a while and prepared to go home. As soon as he went out, he saw a middle-aged woman talking to Niu Nainai.
"What's going on? I asked you to live with me before, but you never listened." The middle-aged woman's eyes were a little red, and it seemed that the other person should be Niu Nainai's daughter.
She was afraid that what she said would be heard by Niu Nai's grandson, so she pulled Niu Nai to the stairwell to talk.
Niu Nainai looked much more tired than before. She said slowly, "Mom is old and doesn't want to be a burden to you."
"Tell me the truth, why do you want to go to a nursing home out of the blue? Did that evil-hearted person abuse you?" The middle-aged woman cried emotionally.
Qi Nian frowned, and then she saw Grandma Niu's grandson coming over at some point. He interrupted Grandma Niu's daughter in an unhappy tone, "My grandma felt lonely and wanted to go to the nursing home to find an old man, and it was a good opportunity to develop a late-life romance. You said I abused my grandma, do you have evidence?"
