Before Gu Lingfeng arrived at Qi Heng's house, Cong Rui called first.
Qi Heng hesitated for two seconds before picking up the phone. He opened his mouth but suddenly didn't know how to address her. He could only utter a dry, "Hello."
"It's me." Cong Rui's voice sounded a little low, "Qi Heng, thank you."
Qi Heng was stubborn and said, "That's not necessary. Just work hard and earn more money for Gu's company as a thank you."
"I will."
“…”
After a moment of silence, Qi Heng did not hang up the phone. He didn't know what he was expecting.
After a while, he finally heard Cong Rui speak, "If you knew I would break up with you, would you still give me this chance?"
Will it? Qi Heng wasn't sure either. People are selfish.
This was not what Qi Heng wanted to hear, but he couldn't explain what he wanted to hear.
Did Cong Rui want to beg him to reconcile? Maybe. People are always full of fantasies about things that haven't happened, but when they really do happen, they are hesitant and unable to make up their minds. Qi Heng is no exception.
He shook his head, feeling ridiculous.
"I guess so." Qi Heng heard himself answer like this, and kept some false dignity for himself.
"Then you don't love me that much." Cong Rui seemed relieved, with some relief in her tone.
"...Heh." Qi Heng chuckled, his tone a little sharp, "If this can make you feel less guilty, then think so."
"..." Cong Rui finally said sorry.
"You don't have to say sorry to me. You just chose what you wanted. Just don't regret it later."
"I won't regret it."
Cong Rui really won't regret it. She used to fantasize about her future with Qi Heng, getting married and having a lovely baby with good grades. When she went to a parent-teacher meeting, several parents surrounded her enviously and praised her for having a smart child and an excellent husband.
It's beautiful, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with her. No one has ever thought that she is also a good person, which is why she has a good husband and good children. She doesn't seem important.
"Then I wish you success."
Without waiting for Cong Rui to speak again, Qi Heng hung up the phone. This time, he did not leave himself any room for maneuver and directly deleted Cong Rui's phone number and WeChat.
"Bang bang bang!" The knocks on the door were deafening. Qi Heng had no time to feel sad and hurried to open the door.
"What are you doing so slowly?"
"that is!"
"No wonder you got dumped for being so hesitant!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that makes sense."
"..." Qi Heng looked speechlessly at the people who rushed into his house, Gu Lingfeng, Ji Mubai, Lu Chi, Chen Chuan, and even Chen Tong, the overworked worker, had asked for leave to come.
Just to witness such a great moment when Qi Heng suffered his first heartbreak.
It's a touching brotherhood.
Several people filled the coffee table with the beer, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks they brought with them, took off their shoes and sat down on the carpet, all looking at Qi Heng.
Gu Lingfeng: "Cry, we are here to comfort you."
"..." Qi Heng's mouth twitched, and he sat down as well. "It seems to me that you are here not to comfort me but to watch a good show."
Chen Tong: "Is it obvious?"
Shen Chuan: “Hahahahahaha!”
Ji Mubai: "Hey, tell me quickly, how did you get dumped?"
Lu Chi: "You don't treat us as brothers at all. We didn't even know you were in a relationship and you were dumped!"
Qi Heng casually opened a can of beer and said, "...With a bunch of you guys talking, how dare I bring you out? Even if I did, you guys would ruin it."
Lu Chi threw peanuts at him, "Bullshit! You deserve to be dumped without us brothers giving you advice."
Gu Lingfeng at least had some conscience. "Forget it, let's not talk about her. Let's do it. After today, forget about her."
"Yes, I forgot. Our Lao Qi is so handsome and elegant, is he worried about not being able to find a partner? That's impossible!"
"Yes, do one!"
He finished the whole can in one breath. After this incident, Qi Heng felt that most of his sadness had gone away. It was just a broken heart, no big deal. Once he calmed down, he would be a brave man again.
The brothers were chatting at once, but only Gu Lingfeng would check his phone when he had nothing to do, replying messages from time to time. He looked at it, but he always had a lustful look on his face, which made everyone feel unhappy.
Qi Heng looked at Gu Lingfeng's reply with a bit of resentment, and sighed, "Hey, it's better for you guys to be gay. I might as well be gay too."
Gu Lingfeng looked up at him, his eyes filled with a smile that hadn't been retracted yet. "Not really, not really. I won't post it, okay?"
"Being gay is not as easy as you think." After taking a sip of beer, Ji Mubai spoke silently.
Five pairs of eyes suddenly stared at him.
Qi Heng: “???”
Gu Lingfeng: "How do you know?"
Chen Chuan: "Are you gay too?"
Lu Chi: "Oh my god! No way? Are there still heterosexuals in this world?"
Chen Tong raised his hand silently, "I, I'm still heterosexual."
Having let the cat out of the bag, Ji Mubai touched his nose and said, "No, I mean, when Uncle Gu and Big Brother find out that Ling Feng is gay, who knows how they're going to deal with him."
"..." Gu Lingfeng kicked him, "Could you please stop bringing up irrelevant issues?"
Ji Mubai shrugged, "Escape is not a solution, I just stated the objective facts."
Qi Heng agreed deeply. He had grown up in the Gu family and knew both Gu Dad and Gu Lingyun quite well. "I also think you should prepare yourself mentally as soon as possible."
"Ahhhhhh! Shut up!" Gu Lingfeng collapsed to the ground, looking like he was about to die, with no desire to live. "I just want to have a relationship, why is it so difficult?"
