In the previous life, the IF line was cultivated

The next day, it was Ning Chen's turn to get up early. Xie Tingyunmianqian was awakened when the woman who had been hugging him left his tight waist.

However, Ning Chen seemed to have something urgent to do and hurried to the bathroom. After the door was closed, the sound of water splashing could be heard from inside.

Xie Tingyun had just woken up and was still a little confused, so he didn't ask why someone got up so early in the morning to take a shower. He was so sleepy that he buried himself in the quilt and stayed in bed for a while. When Ning Shen came out of the bathroom, Xie Tingyun was almost awake.

Ning Chen, who came out at this time, no longer felt anything unusual. Xie Tingyun went in to wash up, but did not feel the hot steam that should have been in the bathroom.

Explanation... Ning Chen got up early in the morning and took a cold shower.

Xie Tingyun was a little confused.

While brushing his teeth, he watched Ning Chen getting ready to go out, and said vaguely, "Brother, why are you taking a cold shower so early in the morning? Don't catch a cold."

The man behind him grabbed a handful of hair. He froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "Yeah. I didn't sleep well last night. I'll take a cold shower to wake myself up."

When Xie Tingyun heard this, he felt guilty.

Who should Ning Chen blame for not sleeping well? It was because he stayed awake late at night and sneaked into Ning Chen's room and hesitated, waking Ning Chen up, and he was caught by him on the spot.

When he said this, Xie Tingyun didn't dare to go on.

Both of them simultaneously ignored what happened yesterday. No one would bring it up, so they pretended to have no memory and let the matter pass.

Xie Tingyun did not mention whether his cold had healed or not. He just wanted to sleep as long as he could next to Ning Chen, so he just continued to sleep like that, and Ning Chen did not even ask to drive him away.

But after warming his hands before going to bed, he would stuff Xie Tingyun back into his own quilt instead of sleeping with his own.

...Although every morning when Ning Chen woke up, he would still find Xie Tingyun sticking around like thunder.

Fortunately, they were both busy with their own things. When Ning Chen was busy, he rarely went home. But no matter how busy he was, he would always go home on Saturdays and Sundays.

Xie Tingyun's grades dropped due to his previous hospitalization, but they completely rebounded later and even ranked among the top three in the grade in the later period.

After Xie Tingyun finished his last exam, when he walked out of the examination room, he lowered his head and saw the setting sun shining on him, and he couldn't help but be dazed.

Xie Tingyun has never been an arrogant person, but he also doesn't know himself clearly. His performance this time was as expected. The questions looked familiar yet unfamiliar, and he answered them smoothly. When the papers were collected, he had a vague illusion that this once-in-a-lifetime college entrance examination seemed no different from the countless mock exams he had taken since his senior year of high school. It was both ordinary and special.

But after this time of collecting the papers, there will no longer be late night reviewing and endless papers to finish.

Then he took two more steps forward and was grabbed by a tall man beside him, and a bouquet of flowers was stuffed into his arms.

The man put his arm around Xie Tingyun's shoulders in the crowd and said excitedly, "Let's go. No matter how well he does in the exam, let's go have a good meal and relax for a while."

Ever since Ning Shen started his own business, he had not had a chance to catch his breath. Now that he had finally succeeded, he could take a break from his busy schedule and relax with Xie Tingyun, who had just finished the college entrance examination.

Xie Tingyun turned his head and looked at Ning Chen's half face, whose sharp features were shining brightly in the setting sun. He was so amazed that he was a little dazed.

He looked at Ning Chen's extremely handsome features and said softly, "Okay."

Xie Tingyun had told Ning Chen on the day he left the exam room that he wanted Ning Chen to check his scores for him. So when the day came, Ning Chen looked even more nervous than Xie Tingyun. Xie Tingyun felt a little amused and helpless. He found his admission ticket number and said, "You come."

Ning Chen had never been so nervous in his life, his hands were shaking. He cleared his throat and entered a series of numbers according to what Xie Tingyun had read. Xie Tingyun stood opposite Ning Chen, watching the faint light from the mobile phone screen shining on Ning Chen and into his eyes.

Ning Chen's expression suddenly became a little confused. Xie Tingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he tried his best not to show his nervousness: "What's wrong?"

Ning Chen refreshed the page two or three times, but the result was still the same. He was a little confused and said, "Why are there only asterisks?"

Xie Tingyun was stunned for a moment, then finally smiled.

Ning Chen looked at Xie Tingyun's relieved smile, and before he could ask what it meant, he saw Xie Tingyun rushing over and hugging him tightly.

Xie Tingyun hugged Ning Shen's neck tightly and said with a smile: "The top 20 in the province will be blocked, don't worry."

Ning Chen blinked blankly. He thought about this sentence over and over again. Finally, he understood what Xie Tingyun meant. He said, "Really?!"

Ning Chen didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had curled up, and said in disbelief: "You are so amazing!"

Xie Tingyun's two beastly parents must be damned to have produced such a talented student who could be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University!

Those two old bastards are really blind.

What happened next became a natural progression.

I applied for admission to Tsinghua University and followed the procedures step by step. When the acceptance letter was sent home, I finally felt relieved.

Isn't Xie Tingyun successful?

Ning Shen was unusually happy.

The child once struggled out of the quagmire and never had to go back to that dark and suffocating place. He has a broader sky and future, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

It’s a happy thought.

Xie Tingyun was also very happy.

Then he was about to go look for his part-time job but was caught by Ning Chen who looked unhappy.

Xie Tingyun felt that he had made it and was independent, so he could decide for himself what to do. However, Ning Chen had always disagreed with him going out to earn his own living expenses.

In Ning Shen's words, since he chose to start a business to support his family, he could not be short of that little money. He could not be unable to support a college student to study. He asked a prospective college student to use his precious time and energy in exchange for a meager salary.

I'm really sorry, Xie Tingyun can just return it after graduation. Since you have the conditions to study and not worry about the outside world, why go out and suffer the hardship of working?

Ning Chen didn't understand at all.

What's more, once you go to school, you don't have to worry about not having ways to make money from studying. There are scholarships, competition prizes, and many other ways to make money with your brain.

Ning Chen would rather start his own business than work for others.

In the end, Xie Tingyun was unable to convince his brother and was taken back home in a humiliating manner.

During the three-month summer vacation, Ning Chen was afraid that Xie Tingyun would stay at home idle, so he simply sent him to learn how to drive. After he passed the driving test, he was afraid that Xie Tingyun would do something while he was away, so he simply pulled Xie Tingyun to his company and hired him as his personal assistant.

Xie Tingyun finally calmed down a lot.

Ning Chen has survived the most difficult time in the early days of his business. Now that the company is running normally and revenue is increasing, Ning Chen no longer has to be so busy that he has to stay out all day and night like he did in the beginning.

The salary is not high, but the life is very leisurely. Every day I stay in the president's office to help him organize documents, plan itineraries, find delicious and affordable takeout, help the president complete daily tasks in the game, buy two servings of ice cream and small cakes, and find places and activities to go on Saturdays and Sundays. When I am tired, I lie down in the cubicle in the president's office to rest.

Xie Tingyun lay on the back of the sofa, staring at Ning Chen who was working for a long time, and couldn't help but secretly turned on the camera on his mobile phone.

The person in the photo has his head lowered, with his slightly long hair casually draped beside his eyebrows, his nose bridge is high, his lips are slightly pursed, and his meticulous suit is fitted and slim. His beautifully shaped wrist bones are revealed at the cuffs, and his clean and slender fingers are tapping on the keyboard.

Just taking a picture of it is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Xie Tingyun bit the dessert spoon and skillfully cut the picture to Ning Chen's sharp jawline, not letting Ning Chen show his face. Then he posted the picture on his social media account with a text:

"The wind blows freely and unrestrainedly."

"When can I catch up with you?"

This account is usually used to browse videos and posts. Xie Tingyun himself usually does not post updates, but occasionally he will post some photos of Ning Shen that he secretly took.

All of them had their faces cut off so that no one could see Ning Shen’s true appearance.

You Ningchen was walking in front, with his coat draped over his arm, his back casual but upright.

What was not recorded in the photo was that the next moment Ning Chen turned around in confusion to look for someone, but almost stepped on a kitten that was busy eating next to the bushes. In the end, the kitten chased him across two streets with its fangs and claws bared, and scolded him.

You Ningshen lowered his head and held a grape in his mouth. He didn't have time to eat it because of the team fight, so he kept holding the grape in his mouth.

After taking this picture, Ning Chen just finished eating the grape rolls on the other side, and then he ate them contentedly, and even held Xie Tingyun's hand to ask him for a few more.

There are many, many of them, and each one is something Xie Tingyun wants to treasure and keep as a memory for himself.

Not long after the animated photo was posted, someone liked and commented: "Ahhh! That hand and that Adam's apple! He looks so handsome, I feel so sad when I can't see his face!"

"Blogger, is this you? Don't be so reserved with your fellow netizens, show your face!"

Xie Tingyun typed back, "No. Not showing."

"This should be the same person as in the blogger's other posts. If it's not the blogger himself, the copy always feels like the person the blogger has a crush on." (Author likes)

"Really!! Judging from the blogger's photos, you should have a pretty good relationship with him. You're so close to your crush and have such a good relationship with him. I guess you're going to be together soon."

Xie Tingyun hesitated for a moment and replied, "I dare not chase."

He still couldn't accept the fact that he had such thoughts about Ning Chen. How could it suddenly become like this? There was no sign at all before.

Besides... just because you had some erotic dreams that are not suitable for children, it doesn't mean that you really have those kinds of thoughts about me... right?

Xie Tingyun was unsure again.

However, Xie Tingyun thought that one day he would have to leave this home and Ning Chen, and watch Ning Chen find his life partner in the future, get married, have children, and grow old together, while he would only be an acquaintance who would gradually drift away.

He didn't even want to think about it anymore.

The most important thing is that Ning Chen may not necessarily be able to accept it.

Xie Tingyun sighed, replied to a few comments encouraging him to bravely pursue love, saying that he should try his best, and then turned off his phone.

Let's think about it again.

On the first day of school, Xie Tingyun's luggage had been mailed to the school in advance, so they felt particularly relaxed when they set out from City X to go to school.

Ning Chen had no obsession with money. He went from lying down to returning to work just to leave a guarantee for himself and Xie Tingyun.

If something unexpected happens and you need money urgently, you won’t be so tight on money.

No matter what, Xie Tingyun is the only person in this world that Ning Chen still cares about. If he has any trouble or accident, Ning Chen will definitely not be able to stand idly by.

What troubles will Xie Tingyun encounter in the future? Will he study for a master's degree, get married and have children?

Ning paused for a moment, and subtly skipped the last option that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Children grow up and are no longer under our control.

Forget it.

The house was rather deserted when Xie Tingyun was away. Xie Tingyun started learning to cook during the summer vacation, but it was obvious that neither of them had any talent for cooking. During that time, the kitchen at home was filled with smoke every day, but Xie Tingyun refused to give up. The food he cooked eventually evolved from dark dishes in the beginning to barely edible, and then to the point where it tasted pretty good.

When Xie Tingyun was not around, Ning Chen would go back to his old ways, ordering takeout or cooking something for himself when he was hungry. The food had to taste just enough to fill his stomach, but he wouldn't starve to death anyway.

In the past, after Ning Chen got off work, the first thing he did after opening the door was to go straight to the living room and kitchen to see what delicious food Xie Tingyun had prepared today. After eating, the two of them divided the work of washing the dishes. After washing, Ning Chen would usually pull Xie Tingyun over to play games with him. Winning or losing didn't matter. The most important thing was to have fun playing the game.

When Xie Tingyun was around, the house was always clean and tidy, with no clothes or coats scattered around. There were fresh snacks on the TV cabinet in the living room, fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, and warm water in the kettle that could be drunk directly after boiling. There was actually always stock of Coke in the refrigerator, but after Xie Tingyun discovered that he was drinking Coke as if it were water, he started to control him and not let him drink too much.

After Xie Tingyun left, the house was not in chaos. No one supervised Ning Chen to drink less ice cola, and snacks were not replenished when they expired. The sofa became Ning Chen's regular wardrobe again. When he was bored and playing games after get off work, it was rare to see Xie Tingyun online for a while, probably because he was busy with his studies.

...I'm not used to it.

Although he had come here in the same way when Xie Tingyun was not around, it might be because he was used to living in a frugal environment, so he felt it was quite deserted at first.

Ning Chen felt bored and had to work harder to earn money.

As the business grew, his network also expanded. He was an adult elite man in his thirties, with money, a car and a house. He did not drink or smoke except for social events. He had a unique appearance and his personality was not gentle or family-oriented, but at least he had his own ideas and was polite, and he knew when to act and was graceful.

However, when many business partners wanted to help Ning Chen make connections and worry about his marriage, Ning Chen had no such idea at all.

I don’t know why, but there isn’t.

Perhaps the only ambition of a middle-aged, lonely man is to repeatedly switch between retirement and making money to support his children.

He rejects every one that comes his way. He is too lazy to go on blind dates or add people on WeChat. Apart from Xie Tingyun and some close friends and connections, there is no other person on his private WeChat account. In fact, his WeChat account is cleaner than his face.

Later on, some people even tried to establish a connection with her, testing whether Ning Chen wanted a man's WeChat account.

Ning Chen: “…”

Get out!

What a crooked way!

After several years of transformation, Xie Tingyun has become almost a different person.

His hair had grown longer and lay softly behind his head. His forehead was parted with bangs, revealing his clean and straight eyebrows. He looked clean and gentle.

After graduation, he did not pursue graduate studies but went straight to work. Xie Tingyun did not talk much about himself with Ning Chen, but he often wrote some software for Ning Chen to play with. It was not difficult. At first, it was some small games such as Snake and Tetris. Later, after learning Python, he wrote crawlers for Ning Chen to find data to assist in decision-making, and so on.

Xie Tingyun used the money in his card during his freshman year, and for the remaining three years, he never used Ning Chen's money again. He was far away from home, and Ning Chen couldn't control him. He only knew that Xie Tingyun received first-class scholarships every year, and always won prizes in various competitions. He also took on some outsourcing to earn extra money, so he had no problem being self-sufficient and independent.

While Ning was feeling worried, he also felt a little relieved.

At first, Ning Chen often asked to check whether Xie Tingyun saved money and had enough to eat, wear and wear. Later, she found that Xie Tingyun did not treat her badly, and the topic of their video chats gradually turned to Ning Chen himself.

Since Xie Tingyun returned home from vacation and found that Ning Chen had returned to her previous unhealthy lifestyle, she gradually began to ask in the videos to check Ning Chen's three meals a day.

Ningchen is actually quite picky about food. He doesn't eat anything with strong garlic flavor or shellfish. When he is busy, he will just eat a few bites of bread. He lives on ice cola all year round. Once his stomach is upset and he becomes unhappy, Ningchen will be quiet for a while, eating light food and giving up cold drinks.

Then after the stomach upset has subsided, he will continue to do his worst.

Xie Tingyun conducted several surprise checks and found that Ning Chen did not eat well. He even couldn't suppress his stomachache in front of him. He was rarely angry.

He asked his roommate to help him sign in, bought a ticket for the same day and flew back directly. After saying hello to the lady at the company's front desk, he went straight to the president's office.

On that day, all the employees who came out of the president's office witnessed their president being taken home by a dusty young man.

President Ning, who was always vigorous and decisive in his work, even looked a little guilty when he followed a gentle young man that day.

Oh, because the president was arrested early that day, they also left work early for the first time.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

This is a good thing, and everyone is very welcome to have someone come and catch Ningmi.jpg
