Chapter 63 I Like You

Qi Nian was in a daze, like a little lamb being stared at by a ferocious wolf. He could not move at all, fearing that if he moved at all, the wolf would bite his neck.

Ning Min's entire attention was now on the fact that her eldest son had someone he liked, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Haha, how can I not be happy? My eldest son has no desires and wants every day, which makes people suspect that he will become a monk in the next moment.

Ning Min once complained to Chu Zhen that their eldest son was so pure and indifferent that even the monks in the temple were not as pure and indifferent as him.

Now that Ning Min knows that Chu Rongshi has someone he likes, her first reaction is: That’s great, she doesn’t have to worry about her eldest son growing old alone.

However..., in the spirit of doubting everything, Ning Min looked at Chu Rongshi inquiringly: "Do you really have someone you like? Isn't this just an excuse to avoid blind dates?"

Chu Rongshi smiled faintly: "No."

Ning Min still believed in her eldest son's character and immediately clapped her hands in relief: "Great!"

Then she asked, "How old is the child? Do you know her? Who is she from?"

Chu Rongshi said patiently, "She is younger than me, I know her, but she is not a girl."

Chu Rongshi: "Boy."

"Boy?" Ning Min slowly covered her chest.

Chu Rongshi: “Yeah.”

Seeing that he was definitely not joking, Ning Min could accept it, but her voice was a little weaker: "No, you have to let me slow down."

After saying that, he didn't want to ask any more questions and went upstairs slowly.

The living room immediately became quiet, so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

When Qi Nian felt Chu Rongshi looking at him, he immediately stood up and said in panic: "I... I'm hungry, I'll go back to my room first!"

After saying that, he quickly went upstairs.

He didn't turn around to look until the door of the room was closed, but for some reason, he seemed to have a premonition that his brother had been watching him return to the room.

After closing the door, Qi Nian calmed his heartbeat for a while, and his sluggish brain finally began to function slowly.

He said to himself, "No, why am I so nervous? This is so weird."

Maybe his brother just happened to see him at that time and there was no other intention.

As a result, he suddenly behaved so strangely. His brother must have thought he was weird.

Everyone thought: "..."

But, the way Chu Rong looked at him at that time...

Ahhh! Qi Nian covered his head in annoyance and decided to escape for a while.

Well, escaping is shameful, but it works.

——

The next morning, Qi Nian sat up from the bed with a dull look in his eyes.

He had a dream all night last night, about...his brother.

Qi Nian's face flushed red. Obviously no one would know the content of his dream, but at this moment he was still so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"Huh..." I don't know why, but I don't feel like going out today. Fortunately, it's the weekend.

Qi Nian laid back on the bed in despair, picked up his phone, and tried to divert his attention by looking at it.

After a long time, Qi Nian watched the funny video on his mobile phone and laughed.

Time passed quickly as he scrolled through the video. Maybe it was because he was taking so long to go downstairs, but there was a knock on his door.

Qi Nian immediately turned off his phone and pricked up his ears.

"Niannian?" I knew it was Chu Rongshi's voice.

Qi Nian replied subconsciously: "Ah? Yes...Yes."

"Not awake? Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Rongshi's voice sounded concerned.

Qi Nian glanced at the time on his phone. It was already eleven o'clock!!!

He hurriedly got up and said, "No... No, I'll get up right away."

After a moment, Qi Nian went downstairs with a guilty look on his face and sat at the dining table. He raised his hand and pressed a tuft of curly hair that kept growing upwards.

I don't know if it's because I've been lying down for too long, but my hair has been pressed up and is standing up. Qi Nian thinks he must look stupid now.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Chu Rongshi didn't know what was wrong with him today. He was not busy with work: "If you are still sleepy, eat first, then go to sleep."

Qi Nian took a sip of soup from the bowl and couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not a pig."

Chu Rongshi chuckled: "That's not what I meant."

Everyone thought: "..."

Help, is this his illusion? His brother is so gentle today!

Although I was gentle before, I am gentler now.

Qi Nian drank a big sip of soup uncomfortably. His cheeks bulged and he ate much faster, like a little lamb in a hurry to eat.

After finishing the meal quickly, Qi Nian let out a breath, consciously took the dishes to the kitchen, and then returned to the room.

Of course he didn't go to sleep, but sat at the desk and started studying.

Well... only studying can stop his wild thoughts. Qi Nian opened the book with a determined look.

A few minutes later...

He lay on the table with a depressed look on his face, and couldn't concentrate on his studies. He couldn't concentrate on his studies at all.

Now, whenever he calms down, his mind starts to wander, because what happened yesterday has seriously affected his studies.

What if he has these random thoughts during the final exam?

Qi Nian shook his head vigorously, his eyes firm. No, this cannot go on.

As an adult, he shouldn't just avoid the problem. What if he is just imagining things? No, he should go ask his brother.

It must be a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is resolved, he will definitely be able to study well!

Thinking of this, Qi Nian slapped the table, stood up, walked out of the room with his chest out and head held high, and found Chu Rongshi.

Chu Rongshi looked at the determined young man, and his heart moved slightly: "Is there something you want to talk about?"

Qi Nian tried to muster up his courage and nodded.

Chu Rongshi smiled and tapped the table: "Sit down first."

Qi Nian sat down obediently.

Chu Rongshi lowered his eyes, slowly poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Qi Nian: "Chenpi tea, want to taste it?"

Qi Nian grabbed the teacup and took a big sip of tea, then put the cup down and looked at Chu Rongshi.

Chu Rongshi also looked at the young man who seemed to have mustered up his courage, and did not urge him, but waited quietly for the other party to continue.

Everyone thought: "..."

Help, why is my brother so handsome?

It’s not Qi Nian’s fault that he was distracted. It was because Chu Rongshi’s face was even more impactful when seen from a close distance.

Besides, why is the other party looking at him so seriously...

With a "puff", Qi Nian was like a punctured balloon. All the courage that was in his stomach burst out through the tiny pinhole at this moment, without leaving a single bit.

He had been relatively calm, but suddenly he became extremely anxious, as if there were needles pricking him on the stool, making it impossible for him to sit down any longer. He was at a loss what to do under Chu Rongshi's gaze.

Even though it might make people feel scared to say it out loud, Qi Nian now only had one thought in his mind, which was to leave here.

As I said, although escaping is shameful, it is useful.

He said in confusion, "I suddenly forgot what I was going to say. I...I'll go back and think about it."

Having said that, he was about to get up and leave.

However, Chu Rongshi did not give him this opportunity.

A warm hand grasped his wrist. The temperature was obviously acceptable to the human body, but Qi Nian felt that the place where the two people touched was extremely hot.

Fortunately, the other party only briefly circled his wrist, and then put his hand on his shoulder. The force was not strong, but it pushed him back onto the stool without leaving him room for rejection.

He heard the other party say: "Since you have taken this step, let's have a good talk, okay?"

The voice of the man who was older than him was soothing, and Qi Nian felt as if he was split in two. One half calmed down because of the other's comfort, but the other half's heartbeat actually started beating faster, and even sounded a little noisy.

"I...I forgot what I was going to say." Qi Nian said in a dry voice.

As expected, the boy retracted back into the shell. Chu Rongshi's eyes dimmed, but this time, he obviously would not give the other party a chance to retract.

"I know what you're going to say," he said.

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, and his hands on his legs tightened slightly, grabbing the fabric on his legs. At this time, he even had a moment of thought, thinking wildly: I suddenly feel so hot, is the floor heating temperature turned too high?

"Qinian." Chu Rongshi called his full name.

Qi Nian subconsciously focused all his attention on Chu Rongshi, waiting for the other party's next move.

"You guessed right." Chu Rongshi looked at the boy in front of him intently, and his voice became a little softer, as if he was afraid of scaring him: "Qi Nian, I like you."

Qi Nian's hands suddenly tightened, and his deer eyes widened in shock.

After a long silence, his rusty brain seemed to finally start to work slowly, and he said with some disbelief: "I, I treat you as my brother."

Chu Rongshi: “I know.”

Qi Nian: "I know you still..."

Chu Rongshi: "That's why I have to say it out."

Qi Nian: "You..."

Chu Rongshi: "I like you."

Qi Nian couldn't help but raise his voice: "Chu Rongshi!"

Chu Rongshi smiled: "Yeah."

Everyone thought: "..."

It has to be said that Chu Rongshi successfully broke Qi Nian's inherent perception of him. No matter what Qi Nian thought, the other party had another idea about him.

——

"What's going on..." Qi Nian poked at it with the pen in his hand.

When he came to his senses, he found that he had poked a hole in the book and the ink from the pen had penetrated several sheets of paper.

Qi Nian quickly put down his pen, touched the book with a depressed and distressed look, and muttered unhappily: "It's all Chu Rongshi's fault!"

"Think together."

As he was mumbling, he heard Lu Ze calling him. Qi Nian came back to his senses and looked at the other person.

Lu Ze was puzzled: "What happened to you these two days? You poked a hole in the book."

Qi Nian felt guilty and shook his head: "Nothing..."

Lu Ze didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he said, "If you have any problem, just tell me. Although I may not be able to help you, at least I can help you in some way."

Qi Nian smiled and said, "Thank you."

But he really didn't know how to say it, so he decided not to say it.

He patted his head and said, "Class is about to start. Come back to your senses!"

Lu Ze was so amused by his identical movements: "I'll take some notes for you to read later."

This is a top student's note! Qi Nian was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you! Lu Ze, you are indeed my best friend!"

Lu Ze was quite pleased with what he said. He nodded with satisfaction and decided to take more careful notes later.

After finishing the last class, Qi Nian, who was always very eager to go home, was particularly slow today and was reluctant to leave.

Unfortunately, Lu Ze was busy going to the company, and Yan Gen didn't notice his difference. He gave the notes to Qinian and left in a hurry.

Qi Nian sighed in frustration and put away his notes carefully. When the classmate in charge of locking the door urged him to leave, he embarrassedly hurriedly left the classroom with his books.

I was walking downstairs slowly when my cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Qi Nian turned on his phone and his expression paused.

[Chu Rongshi]: Suddenly something urgent happened, so I have to go on a business trip in the next two days.

Qi Nian held the phone in his hand and curled his lips: "Humph, if you are on a business trip, then you are on a business trip. Why do you have to tell me specifically?"

He hesitated, turned off his phone and did not reply.

I hurried back, thinking: Why didn’t you tell me earlier that I was going on a business trip so that I could go home and have dinner? I’m so hungry!

On the other side, Chu Rongshi checked the time. It was indeed the class was over. There was still no reply for such a long time... He turned off his phone, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

When Qi Nian got home and found that Chu Rong was indeed not at home, he relaxed and finished his dinner happily.

Then I received the message again.

Chu Rongshi took a photo of his dinner today.

Qi Nian turned off his phone with great difficulty. Ah... For someone like him who would feel uncomfortable if he didn't reply to a message, it was too difficult.

But he didn't know what to say...

When he came out of the restaurant, his neighbor Aunt Mo was chatting with Ning Min. She had liked to come visit Ning Min recently, and Qi Nian had become a little familiar with Aunt Mo.

Aunt Mo saw Qi Nian and smiled, saying hello to him, and continued chatting with Ning Min: "I'm so indebted to you. You know what, my friends all complimented me for looking several years younger after dressing up like this. By the way, my husband is also much nicer to me."

Ning Min smiled, not knowing how to respond to this sentence in a high emotional intelligence manner.

She usually dressed up to please herself, so she was not used to listening to Aunt Mo's words, which sounded too humble.

But we can't say that this is Aunt Mo's fault, but at least Aunt Mo received positive feedback, so it's okay. People's ideas are not formed overnight, and it is impossible to change them overnight.

——

Aunt Mo was cheerful by nature and smiled all day long. But one day, when Qi Nian and Chu Zhenningmin were sitting on the sofa watching TV, Aunt Mo suddenly came over crying.

The other person was originally wearing eyeliner, but now her tears smudged the eyeliner and both sides of her eyes turned black.

Ning Min quickly took a wet towel to wipe her tears and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Why are you crying like this? Did you have a fight with your husband?"

Aunt Mo quarreled with her husband every other day. Ning Min had no idea how many times she had heard her talk about it, but this was the first time she had seen her husband cry so sadly.

Aunt Mo cried out in a loud voice, "Wuwuwu, that bastard, I was wondering why he always complained about me being fat. Today I secretly looked at his phone and found out that he actually...actually secretly had a mistress!"

Ning Min is a kind-hearted person, and she has a good relationship with Aunt Mo. She was furious when she heard that the other party's husband had a mistress.

The two of them cursed Aunt Mo's scumbag husband together.

Aunt Mo cried and said, "I will go there tomorrow according to this address. I want to catch that scumbag and bitch in bed!"

Ning Min was still calm: "What will happen after you catch him? Do you plan to continue living with him?"

It's not Ning Min's fault for saying this. It's true that some women, after discovering their husbands are cheating, end up making a big scene, and then continue to swallow their anger and live with the scumbag.

If this is the case, Ning Min has no intention of reconciling. It's not that she is indifferent, but if the other party chooses to reconcile, the end result of her reconciling will be that she will be neither a human nor a human.

"Bullshit! I used to please him because I thought it was the interest of a couple. Now he dares to find a woman behind my back. If I put up with it, he will let his mistress ride on my head in the future!" Aunt Mo was still quite sober. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

What kind of person is that old man? He is ugly and old, almost smelling like an old man, yet he dares to cheat on her! What is it about Mo Jinfeng that makes her unworthy of that old man!

Ning Min saw that Mo Jinfeng was sincere, so she stopped worrying and gave her some advice: "You'd better ask your family to come along, so you can have more confidence."

Mo Jinfeng hesitated when he heard this and shook his head: "Forget it."

Ning Min thought she was ashamed and comforted her: "In this case, he is the one who made a mistake and he should be ashamed. Even if your family knew about it, they would stand by you."

"No." Mo Jinfeng said quickly: "You misunderstood. I was mainly worried that my brother and my nephew lost control and beat him to death."

Ning Min looked in awe: "What do your brother and nephew do?"

Mo Jinfeng: "My brother won the weight lifting championship before, and my nephew just won the weight lifting championship."

Ning Min took a deep breath and patted his hands: "...You're right, don't tell them."

In the end, Mo Jinfeng decided to take his bodyguard with him to avoid any loss.

Mo Jinfeng was very executive, and the next day she took her bodyguards to the villa where her husband was secretly keeping a mistress and made a scene.

Mo Jinfeng went there and made a big scene, claiming that she wanted to divorce her husband.

When I got back I told Ning Min what had happened.

The other person's voice was so loud that Qi Nian could hear what he was saying even from upstairs.

Mo Jinfeng cried, "Men are really bad. I worked so hard to accompany him until now, but he actually wanted to abandon his wife just because that woman was beautiful! I was so sad at the time that I couldn't help but beat him with a stick and broke his leg."

After saying that, he worriedly asked, "Is this considered domestic violence?"

Ning Min was a little hesitant: "It shouldn't count, right? You don't usually beat him at home, right?"

Mo Jinfeng shook his head: "I always reason with him, but he always says I am cursing. Do my words sound like cursing?"

To be honest, Mo Jinfeng does speak loudly, but not to the extent of swearing.

And as a friend, Ning Min would definitely stand on Mo Jinfeng's side. She immediately confirmed: "No, it doesn't sound like cursing at all."

"I knew it!" Mo Jinfeng said excitedly, "It must be him...he is...doing that to me!"

Ning Min: “pua!”

"Yes!" Mo Jinfeng was very sad: "How could he do this? Before I got married, I was such a confident little girl. After I married him, I became less and less like myself."

Mo Jinfeng said, getting angry again: "When he first got married, he was handsome, so I put up with it. But later, his belly was bigger than mine, and his head was shiny, and he even had the nerve to criticize me. Although I am a little fatter, at least I have more hair than him, right? And I don't rely on him for support, so why does he feel so high and mighty?"

Ning Min supported her idea very much: "You are right. It is time to change men like this and find a young and handsome one."

Mo Jinfeng touched his face and said, "I am so old now, can I still find it?"

Ning Min coughed lightly and said, "Some young guys nowadays don't want to work hard and just like rich women."

Mo Jinfeng murmured: "Is that so?"

In fact, she has been holding on all the time. Although she sounds very confident, the suppression from her scumbag husband over the years still has a certain effect, so she is still a little afraid and confused deep down.

If she divorces her husband, what will happen to her in the future? What should she do?

If she hadn't been supported by her reason, she might have backed off. But facing a confident woman like Ning Min, she couldn't say those words that would make her swallow her anger.

She will feel ashamed.

However, the other party's words now opened the door to a new world for her. Yes, she may not be good at other things, but she is very rich, and she is divorced from that bald and pregnant man, and there are many handsome men around!

Who doesn’t like a handsome guy? Mo Jinfeng felt like she had suddenly come to her senses. She had been dazzled by that bald guy with a big belly before!

Mo Jinfeng was very grateful to Ning Min: "Thank you!"

Ning Min: “…” Did she accidentally use too much force and bend the person crooked?

Qi Nian listened to the whole thing and finally sighed: My aunt has really advanced ideas.

Then, he saw Chu Zhen with a blank look in his eyes. He passed by Qi Nian and suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, "Nian Nian."

Qi Nian was puzzled: "What's wrong, uncle?"

Chu Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think my uncle is taking good care of me?"

Qi Nian: "...very good."

Chu Zhen nodded happily, touched his flat belly with faint abdominal muscles, and left with satisfaction.

Everyone thought: "..."

——

I thought Aunt Mo would get a smooth divorce, but who knew that the scumbag would bring his mistress to Aunt Mo's house that day.

The scumbag might have felt humiliated after being beaten that day, so he came over to anger Aunt Mo on purpose.

When Qi Nian and Ning Min rushed over, the man was hugging his mistress and said arrogantly, "Aren't you going to divorce me? Is it okay for me to take the woman back to my own home?"

Aunt Mo was so angry at the scumbag's shameless words that she fell backwards. It was humiliating, it was simply naked humiliation!

Qi Nian was so angry at the shameless words that he raised his hand and put on his mask.

There were so many people coming to see the excitement that even the richest people couldn't give up their curiosity about gossip.

Mo Jinfeng said angrily, "I haven't divorced you yet, and you brought her home. How will the children look at you if they find out?"

The scumbag finally calmed down after hearing this. He just wanted to piss off Mo Jinfeng, but now, although he could achieve his goal, he would hurt the enemy 800 times and lose 1,000 of his own money.

It just made people laugh.

He frowned and said to Xiao San, "You go first."

The mistress couldn't care less and said coquettishly: "Didn't you want to take me with you and marry me? Now you want me to leave?"

At this time, Qi Nian secretly flipped through some gossip and widened his eyes in shock: [Oh my god, this is too ridiculous, right? This scumbag was a scumbag many years ago. He used a fake identity to be with his ex-girlfriend. His girlfriend was planning to marry him, but he dumped her. ]

[I didn't expect his ex-girlfriend to be so infatuated. After so many years, even though she has married and has children, she still thinks about this scumbag.]

[But his ex-girlfriend probably didn't expect that her daughter would become the mistress of the man she had been thinking about for so many years! It was really too shocking. ]
