Chapter 12 Taste
Ten minutes later, Lin Zhinian came out. He had just received a tetanus shot and needed to stay for observation for half an hour.
The young man looked a little pale. He sat down in a chair beside him and closed his eyes tiredly.
Ye Xingzhou went outside to answer the phone. Qi Xing sat next to Lin Zhinian and asked him, "Are you okay?"
Lin Zhinian thanked him again: "Thank you for troubling Mr. Qi tonight."
"It's no trouble." Qi Xing smiled. "If I really want to thank you, I can even give you my body."
Lin Zhinian looked embarrassed, but Qi Xing waved his hand to interrupt him: "I was just kidding, how's your hand? It won't affect my painting in the future, right?"
"It's nothing," Lin Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief, "It didn't hurt any nerves, the wound will heal as soon as possible."
Qi Xing leaned over to look at his hand. Lin Zhinian's eyes followed Qi Xing's movements. His thoughts were a little vague. Thinking of Ye Xingzhou's strange reaction that night, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"you……"
After Lin Zhinian finished speaking, Qi Xing raised his head: "Me what?"
Lin Zhinian hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Qi, why are you with Xingzhou tonight?"
He had just asked this question once, and Ye Xingzhou said that he was driving outside when he hit me. Qi Xing didn't find it strange when he mentioned it again, and said casually: "I went to the mountain outside the city with someone to race cars, and I crashed my car. It happened that Master Ye passed by, so he gave me a ride. The one who deliberately hit my car was his fourth son, and he has to pay for my car repairs."
Speaking of this, Qi Xing snorted: "Teacher Lin, do you know what kind of person Ye Shao is? He is like a madman, moody and unpredictable. He burned his car for no apparent reason. I think he is mentally ill."
As for the fight they had, Qi Xing chose to ignore it. After all, he was the loser, and it was too embarrassing to talk about it.
Lin Zhinian frowned slightly: "Xingzhou is not..."
"It's nothing," Qi Xing said disdainfully, sparing no effort to fabricate a love rival in front of Lin Zhinian, "You are close to him, so you should know something about his family. How did he get to this position? Don't say you haven't heard anything about it. There are rumors that he killed his own father and sent his mother to a mental hospital. Who knows if it's true? After all, there is no smoke without fire."
He asked his father about this matter after he returned that day. Qi Ronghua had also heard some rumors outside. Although they were not so specific, they all said that Ye Xingzhou's means of getting to the top were dishonorable, and that he was an illegitimate child, so it was normal for him to not get along with his brothers and aunt.
As for whether he dares to kill people or set fires, he dares to do so. As for killing people... he can threaten his cousin with a model gun, so maybe he can do that.
At that time, Qi Ronghua was worried and repeatedly told Qi Xing not to provoke Ye Xingzhou again, but Qi Xing just ignored it as usual. He didn't want to provoke him, but the premise was that Ye Xingzhou didn't snatch the person from him.
Hearing Qi Xing talking about this, Lin Zhinian's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "That's all nonsense, spread by outsiders, Qi Shao, don't believe it, Xingzhou is not that kind of person."
Qi Xing disagreed: "What kind of person? Teacher Lin, you went abroad after graduating from high school. It has been more than ten years. How do you know what kind of person Ye Shao is? People change. Don't look at him with the same eyes as before. Be careful not to be harmed by him."
Lin Zhinian said uncomfortably: "Master Qi knows that Xingzhou and I were high school classmates?"
Qi Xing nodded casually: "I know, I said I want to pursue you, so of course I have to find out more about you."
Lin Zhinian was silent for a moment, then he exhaled softly: "Xingzhou won't harm me."
Qi Xing: "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Stop talking, Master Qi," Lin Zhinian insisted, "You just helped me out, and when Xingzhou came in, he blocked a blow for you. He's not as bad as you think."
Qi Xing: “???”
There is such a thing?
He was about to say something when Ye Xingzhou's voice rang out from behind him: "Let's go."
The man had finished his phone call and glanced at Qi Xing. Qi Xing pretended not to see it, not caring whether he heard what he said or not.
Ye Xingzhou's eyes fell on Lin Zhinian: "I told the driver to take you back. It's too late now. You go home first and go to take the statement tomorrow. I will ask someone to handle the rest."
Lin Zhinian nodded: "Okay."
Ye Xingzhou's driver had already arrived and parked the car in front of the hospital.
When getting in the car, Qi Xing called Lin Zhinian and said, "Teacher Lin, I forgot to ask you before, did you receive the flowers I sent to the art exhibition last time?"
Lin Zhinian was puzzled: "What flower?"
Qi Xing was a little surprised: "You didn't receive my flowers?"
Lin Zhinian really didn’t know what he was talking about: “Sorry.”
"That's not right. It clearly shows that it's signed for." Qi Xing muttered, unable to figure it out.
Lin Zhinian didn't have the energy to dwell on these things. He looked at Ye Xingzhou who was standing next to Qi Xing. The words he wanted to say came to his lips, but he hesitated for a moment and ultimately didn't say them out loud.
After saying goodbye to both of them, he got into the car and left first.
After everyone left, Qi Xing waved his hand, said "I'm leaving too," and went to the roadside to hail a taxi.
As soon as I walked out, I seemed to remember something and touched my body, but my phone was gone...
Probably because he had just lost it when he had a fight with someone in Lin Zhinian's studio. He could only go get it tomorrow. Qi Xing turned around, coughed lightly, and forced a fake smile at Ye Xingzhou: "Thank you, Young Master Ye, for helping me to the end. Please send me home."
Ye Xingzhou took in the funny expression on his face, said nothing, turned around and went to the parking lot, and drove over five minutes later.
Qi Xing opened the car door and got in: "Turn left in front."
Ye Xingzhou stepped on the accelerator and said slowly: "Get in my car, aren't you afraid of being harmed by me?"
"You really heard it," Qi Xing sneered, "It's shameless to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."
"You are not careful. Next time you want to say something bad about others, make sure that the other person won't hear you." Ye Xingzhou reminded him in a cold voice.
Qi Xing: "Are you afraid of others talking about what you have done? Unless you feel guilty."
Ye Xingzhou no longer paid any attention to anyone.
Qi Xing deliberately teased him: "So is what your cousin said true? Did you really kill your own father and send your aunt to a mental hospital?"
Ye Xingzhou turned his head and gave him a meaningful look: "Curious?"
Qi Xing admitted frankly: "Is it not okay to be curious?"
"Curiosity not only kills the cat, but also kills people." Ye Xingzhou's eyes fell back to the front and his voice became faint.
Qi Xing: "If you don't want to say it, then just..."
"Really," Ye Xingzhou suddenly said, his voice as calm as if he was talking about someone else's affairs, "One of them died, and the other was admitted to a mental hospital. They each have a destination, which is good."
Qi Xing heard the coldness in his tone and felt goose bumps forming on his body. He mumbled, "You are indeed a beast and a lunatic."
The people around him suddenly laughed.
It was not the kind of false smile he had when he looked at him in the hospital just now. Ye Xingzhou's laughter at this moment was very light, but extremely joyful, as if Qi Xing's evaluation had rarely pleased him.
Qi Xing frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
The car stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light. Ye Xingzhou turned to Qi Xing again and asked, "Are you scared?"
The smile on his lips had not yet faded, and his facial features became even colder and deeper after he took off his glasses, making him look particularly evil.
Qi Xing tried hard to ignore the discomfort in his heart: "What should I be afraid of? Do you dare to touch me?"
Considering his father's current status in Huaicheng, and the fact that this person knew his relationship with Old Chen, he didn't believe that Ye Xingzhou would dare to have any evil intentions against him.
"Well," the red light had turned green, and the car continued to move forward. Ye Xingzhou's voice was still unhurried, "You can also wait and see."
Qi Xing was stunned: "What are we waiting for?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Just watch."
baffling.
Qi Xing hated it the most when people spoke in riddles. Ye Xingzhou's weird tone inexplicably made him feel alarmed, but since he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't bother to think about it.
Qi Xing turned his gaze to the car window and saw the flower shop on the street still open. He remembered that Lin Zhinian had said that he had not received the flowers he sent last time, so he signaled Ye Xingzhou: "Stop the car."
Ye Xingzhou glanced over, and Qi Xing changed his mind again: "Forget it, I'll go to Teacher Lin's studio tomorrow to get the phone and hand it over in person to prevent it from being stolen again."
Ye Xingzhou also saw the flower shop on the street and laughed: "Aren't champagne roses good?"
"How did you know that I sent champagne roses?" Qi Xing reacted immediately after he finished speaking, "Oh, so Master Ye is the flower thief, it really makes people look at him with new eyes. Where are my flowers? Why didn't Teacher Lin receive them?"
"Throw it away." Ye Xingzhou said simply.
"..." Qi Xing asked patiently, "Since you don't care about Teacher Lin, what does it have to do with you if I send flowers to Teacher Lin?"
Ye Xingzhou: "He is allergic to flowers."
Qi Xing didn't quite believe it: "Is this true? Are you kidding me?"
Ye Xingzhou was too lazy to say anything more: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Qi Xing thought about it and decided not to send flowers tomorrow just in case.
but……
"I thought you really didn't care about Mr. Lin at all. Turns out you even knew he was allergic to flowers? So do you have feelings for him?"
Qi Xing asked directly, but Ye Xingzhou only said: "It has nothing to do with you."
Qi Xing snorted and decided not to say anything.
It really has nothing to do with him. Whether Ye Xingzhou is interested or not, he will pursue Lin Zhinian.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside Qi Xing's community.
Before getting off the car, Qi Xing gave Ye Xingzhou a final reminder: "Repair my car and send it to me within three days. I still have to settle the account with your fourth son."
Ye Xingzhou: "It's up to you."
Qi Xing was very happy to see that he didn't care about his adopted brother at all, "You're smart."
As he opened the car door, he remembered something, coughed lightly, turned around and said, "Thank you."
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyebrows.
Qi Xing: "Although I don't need it, Teacher Lin said that you helped me block the stick. Master, I have to thank you reluctantly. I will compensate you with the tie in two days."
After saying that, he snorted and got out of the car.
Ye Xingzhou did not start the car immediately. He lit a cigarette and followed Qi Xing's back with his eyes, somewhat absent-minded.
Qi Xing stopped at the gate of the community, lowered his head and used his toes to tease a wild cat that appeared out of nowhere. The cat became so angry that it ran away, and then he went into the community with a smile.
Ye Xingzhou took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled slowly. The eyes behind the smoke were a little blurry.
The idea of being attracted by beauty was quite new to him, but he wasn't averse to it.
Qi Xing is just like that wild cat, he doesn't like to be teased, it's really funny.
Since it's fun, he must try it. How can he know what it tastes like without trying it?
After finishing a cigarette, Ye Xingzhou casually put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, started the car, and drove into the night.
The author has something to say:
Ye Xingzhou: You can just wait and see, I’m going to deal with you.
