Chapter 128

Li Xiangze is also eighteen years old this year. He is 1.89 meters tall, with black hair and black eyes, fair skin, regular and generous facial features, handsome and gentle. At first glance, you can tell that he is the type of good boy that parents like the most.

Although Xia Yan's relationship with him is not as close as that with Huo Hao, he is also close to him and can be regarded as his second best friend.

Therefore, they confessed to him together at the beginning, which scared him.

——I treat you as brothers, but you want to sleep with me.

Someone who has never been in love and claims to be a straight man packed up his bags and ran away overnight. From then on, he got the disease of "Pu Xin Man" and felt that he was in trouble no matter who he looked at.

Of course, he has recovered now.

It is really gratifying.

Huo Hao and Li Xiangze have always been at odds with each other. When he saw him, he frowned: "Why are you here?"

"I came to see Yanyan." Li Xiangze looked at Xia Yan and was about to say something, but when he noticed the people around him, he changed his words, "Let's find a restaurant and talk while eating."

Xia Yan nodded: "Okay."

Huo Hao: "..." Damn it, he wanted to have a delicious couple's meal with Yanyan.

There are many restaurants near the school. The three of them chose a Chinese restaurant with a good environment and sat down. Because of the remote location, there were not many people around.

Li Xiangze poured a glass of warm water for the young man: "I have heard about your family's affairs. What are you going to do next?"

Xia Yan's parents are mainly engaged in the catering industry. It is hard but profitable. The problem this time can be said to be an unprovoked disaster. A few years ago, his cousin borrowed 80 million yuan from the bank. This year, the real estate project collapsed, the company went bankrupt, and the cousin fled abroad with his family.

And his father happened to be the guarantor.

The two families had a good relationship before and helped each other. They never expected to be cheated by their own brothers.

Xia's father was forced to become the repayer. He was busy every day and inevitably failed to take care of the restaurant below. To make matters worse, when an internet celebrity came to visit the store, he found that the restaurant actually used ordinary bird's nest instead of blood bird's nest, passing off inferior products as good ones.

The internet celebrity had huge traffic and the incident fermented very quickly. By the time Xia's father reacted, the Chinese restaurant they opened had fallen to the fifth place that everyone hated.

After checking, it was found that the chef took kickbacks and secretly replaced many expensive dishes with inferior ingredients. Most people couldn't tell the difference, and at most they felt that the food was not as good as before.

Father Xia was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

The restaurant was the result of his and his wife's hard work for more than 20 years. From a small, run-down restaurant, it slowly expanded to more than a dozen branches with a very good reputation. Nowadays, young people love hot pot and barbecue, and Chinese food is not popular. It was already on the decline, and now it has been in such a mess.

If Father Xia was given time, he could slowly pick up the restaurant again, but as soon as he saw that something was wrong, the bank immediately came to collect the payment, fearing that the 80 million would become a bad debt.

The restaurant is large, and the expenses are also high. The company only has about 10 million in flexible funds.

Fortunately, when their family's business was good before, they bought three stores. Before the capital's purchase restrictions, they also bought four houses. Now, if they sell all of them, they can get nearly 100 million.

They kept one house for their own use. Because it was an emergency sale, the total price was only 87 million. After paying off the bank's debts, the compensation of the cooperative company, and the severance pay of the employees, the money was gone in an instant.

It only took two short months to go from a billionaire to a poor man.

Now Li Xiangze asked him what to do? Xia Yan was also at a loss. He shook his head hesitantly: "I don't know. I want to go home and ask my father."

It would be great if the bank would stop urging for payment and let the family breathe.

In his previous life, he learned to be a warrior in the interstellar world. He couldn't get rich by using high technology, but he had eaten many delicious foods. When he retired and lived alone with Ludwig, he learned a lot from recipes.

Even if it is impossible to replicate 100% because of different ingredients, it is no problem to get 70% to 80% of it.

Choose some complicated, beautiful and delicious dishes to attract Internet celebrities to check in. It would be best if the person who complained about their family could be called over, apologize sincerely, and offer a five-fold discount within a week. There will always be people willing to join in the fun and eat.

With guests, everything is easy to talk about.

But... even if Xia Yan was the supreme emperor of the interstellar world in his previous life, he is just an ordinary high school student in this life, and the bank will not give him face.

Li Xiangze: "I heard that my uncle is selling a house."

"Yeah."

He thought for a moment: "If you believe me, why not let my uncle postpone it for a few days."

Before Xia Yan could say anything, Huo Hao had already spoken cautiously: "You don't need to, Yanyan and I are dating now, I will help him if he has any problems."

Li Xiangze was stunned: "Dating?"

"Yes, Yanyan is my boyfriend." After Huo Hao finished his loud promotion, he turned his head and looked pitiful again, "Yanyan, I'm sorry, I accidentally let it slip."

Xia Yan's mouth twitched: "..."

Can this be called careless?

"But Li Xiangze is our good friend, I believe he won't make it difficult for you to tell this, right?" Huo Hao said angrily.

Xia Yan had a headache.

The waiter brought the food and retreated again.

Li Xiangze seemed to have finally come to his senses. He nodded decisively: "Don't worry, Yanyan, I won't tell anyone." Helping a love rival to publicize their love? He's not crazy. With

such a commotion at the table, the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

They finished their lunch in silence, and when they were about to part, Li Xiangze noticed that the two were not close, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up. He lowered his head and said in a very soft voice: "He is too naive, you have a better choice."

"Really?"

Xia Yan was startled, and before he could reply, the man had already strode away.

Huo Hao has always regarded Li Xiangze as his biggest rival in love. Seeing them getting close, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "What did he say just now?"

"He...no, nothing."

Xia Yan stared at Li Xiangze's back. He was handsome and gentle. In a trance, he actually had a subtle overlap with Tu Xi in the first world.

No, no, no, it must be his illusion.

He came back to his senses and looked at his boyfriend who was sulking. After hesitating for a moment, he gently touched his fingers with his hand to comfort him.

"Class is about to start, let's go."

The young man in love was so happy that he had never experienced before. He immediately forgot about his rival and leaned against the young man, immersed in the beauty of love.

A day passed quickly.

There was evening self-study in the third year of high school. It was already past nine o'clock when he got home from school. The driver at home had already been dismissed. He was anxious to see his parents and took a taxi home.

The villa at home had not been sold yet, and the family still lived in it.

The young man opened the door and looked at the furnishings deep in his memory... and his parents when they were young. Unconsciously, his eyes were red.

"Dad, Mom..."

"Yanyan is back." The woman, who had a sad face, immediately smiled when she saw her son, "Your dad and I are waiting for you. You must be tired from class. Come and have some soup."

The young man walked over obediently and sat next to his parents.

The mushroom soup was cooked by Xia's mother herself. It was sweet and refreshing. Xia Yan picked it up and drank a big bowl quickly to cover his red eyes.

It was a pity that Xia's father and mother paid great attention to their son and even noticed the details.

They looked at each other and asked tactfully: "Yan Yan, do you want to transfer to another school?"

"Transfer?"

The young man looked up blankly.

In his previous life, when his junior confessed his love to him with money as bait, he was so scared that he ran away home with his schoolbag on his back. He did not meet Huo Hao and Li Xiangze did not take the initiative to ask for help.

He locked himself in the room and missed his parents' proposal to transfer.

A week later, when he calmed down and returned to school, his former brothers rushed to confess to him, as if they were competing, fearing that they would fall behind.

Xia Yan, trembling with fear: "...",

go home and run away.

Xia's mother: "The current situation in our family will not be cured in a short time. The matter of the internet celebrity has made a big fuss, and it is inevitable that there will be some gossip."

Look at the red eyes, they must have been bullied. I feel so sorry for them.

If a person has always been from an ordinary family, then there is nothing wrong; but if a person was rich in the past and now goes bankrupt and becomes an ordinary person.

It is inevitable that there will be some people who gossip about the high and flatter the low.

School is equivalent to a semi-closed small society. The different eyes of classmates-whether it is schadenfreude or sympathy, will make sensitive adolescent children uncomfortable.

No. 1 Middle School is indeed the best school nearby, but the mental health of children is more important.

Xia Yan understood the implication. He hugged his mother and rubbed her shoulders affectionately: "I'm fine, Mom. My classmates are very nice to me and no one bullies me. Oh, by the way, I have friends who want to help us."

He said what Li Xiangze said: "Why don't we delay it for a few days and sell it if it doesn't work."

Li Xiangze and Huo Hao came to Xia Yan's house to play. Xia's parents knew that even though they were still young, their family background should not be underestimated.

If possible, who would be willing to burn decades of hard work?

Xia's mother decisively decided: "Okay."

*

In the next few days, Xia Yan and Huo Hao were inseparable. With him as a barrier, those classmates whose family backgrounds were not as good as his were too embarrassed to confess their love to him.

So, of course, the two of them had a love affair.

Xia Yan: "..."

At least there is no evidence.

Self-consolationjpg.

In the school forum, there are endless posts about them.

[Please ask!!! Is it true that the school beauty is dating Huo H? Waiting online, urgent!!! 】

【How can my wife marry someone else? Cryingjpg. 】

【Two grown men, they have to stick together even when going to the bathroom, what do you think? 】

【Ahhh!!! Huo Hao got there first, so angry. 】

【Let's put him in a sack, I'm serious. Smilejpg】

【I don't understand, I really don't understand, why doesn't my wife choose Li Xiangze, the Li family owns Beidou Entertainment Company, and has signed a lot of celebrities and internet celebrities, and has a strong control over public opinion. As long as she is with him, the Xia family's problems can be solved quickly. I've been on guard against him for so long, but I didn't expect my wife to be with Huo Hao. 】

【Fuck, Beidou??? Can I ask him to help me get Xu Shuiruo's autograph? I love her so much. 】

【I want Luan Chi's autographed photo. 】

【Then I want Qi Xingteng. 】

【This is not the place for you to chase stars! 】

【I'm different. I only have my wife in my heart. They are not as beautiful as my wife. Hehehe. 】

【...So is Huo Hao really dating his wife? 】 Someone finally turned the topic back to the main building.

【I don't know...】

【...Probably. 】

【QAQ】

The classroom of Class 1, Grade 3.

Huo Hao looked at the post and clicked to report with a blank expression.

He and Yanyan are a perfect match, and Li Xiangze is just a loser. He repeated this sentence over and over in his mind, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.

He confessed first, so Yanyan agreed.

If it was Li Xiangze, he would agree as well.

It was because of this that Huo Hao was particularly uneasy. He threw his mobile phone into the desk and secretly held his boyfriend's right hand. When the other party looked at him, he lowered his voice and said coquettishly: "Yanyan, the forum posts are nonsense. You will not be with Li Xiangze, right?"

Task 2 suddenly flashed through the young man's mind, making him hesitate for a moment.

"Of course not."

Huo Hao: "..."

Li Xiangze, his life-and-death enemy.
