Chapter 35: The Game
"Huaiyuan, why don't you go back to sleep? Isn't there a regular meeting tomorrow?"
Qi Hang walked to the courtyard with two glasses of lemonade in his hands, and Xue Huaiyuan was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.
"I had to hold the regular meeting at home before I could sleep. Xue Huaiyuan's tone was a little resentful.
When Qi Hang heard this, he shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What the hell are you doing! Nowadays, young people are more in love than the other, and Rin's kid is a master with ideas, what are you doing there?"
As soon as he heard the words "have an idea", Xue Huaiyuan became angry, two hours ago, Lao Yu sent Lin Qingyu home alone, and judging from Lao Yu's words, the two young people broke up unhappily, and the specific reason is unknown.
"He has an idea! The girl took the initiative to come out to see him, and he was so good that he messed up the date!"
Xue Huaiyuan is not afraid that this will affect the cooperation between the two groups, but after all, Lin Qingyu is also a first-class celebrity with all conditions, and he has no gentlemanly demeanor, how to do him Xue Huaiyuan's son?
"They young people have their own way of communicating, it's not as serious as you think, it seems that Rin's interest in her doesn't mean that much, but I think it's good for both of them to explain it earlier. ”
Qi Hang knew the reason behind this, but she was relieved for Xue Rin in her heart, but she was also curious about whether Xue Rin had gone to find the girl who had a relationship with her in the two hours after separating from Lin Qingyu.
The electronic lock of the door made a "tick-tick" key sound, and the door slowly opened, and Xue Rin quietly stuck his head in through the crack in the door.
He looked around warily, and when he saw that the living room was empty, he gently closed the door, tiptoed into his shoes, and walked through the porch to prepare to go upstairs.
"Rin, you're back. ”
As soon as Xue Rin stepped on the steps, Qi Hang's voice came from behind him, he gritted his teeth, squeezed his eyebrows, and when he turned around again, he was already full of "filial piety" smiles.
"Aunt Qi, it's so late, you haven't slept yet!"
Although the body turned, the leg that stepped on the steps did not want to retreat.
"Aren't you too? I guess I was busy working so late to come back so late. Qi Hang saw at a glance that this kid had a weak heart, and couldn't help but want to test him.
"Ahh
Qi Hang stared at Xue Rin, who was slightly flustered, smiling, but did not speak.
"What's that, Aunt Qi, woo...... I'm sleepy, I'll go upstairs and sleep first......"
Xue Rin covered his mouth with his hand as he spoke, yawning clumsily.
"Don't sleep yet, your dad is waiting for you in the yard. ”
"My dad, what is my dad waiting for me? Oops! I'm not a young man anymore, when will I learn to stay up late!"
"If you don't make it clear, you can't sleep well, what's more, your father just wants you to be happy after all, as for who gave this happiness, Aunt Qi thinks that you have the final say. ”
Hearing such words, Xue Rin couldn't help but be a little stunned, he seemed to understand Aunt Qi's words, and he was a little puzzled how could she be like this...... So know what you're thinking.
After Qi Hang finished speaking, he took the initiative to step forward and hold Xue Rin's arm and pull him towards the courtyard, Xue Rin was a little surprised, but who could resist this watery tenderness?
"Huaiyuan, Arin is back. ”
Xue Huaiyuan obviously heard this, but he just changed his sitting posture and looked like he didn't care.
"Dad, I'm back, why don't you sleep so late?"
"Let's talk about it, what's going on!" Xue Huaiyuan is not good, he doesn't understand, why can't his son even talk about a relationship.
"What's going on?" Xue Rin pretended to be stupid with innocent eyes.
"What do you say you have to make a date? Don't say anything about making Lin Qingyu angry, and let Lao Yu send people back alone! Is this like a word!" Xue Huaiyuan suddenly raised his voice, and his body was also straight.
"Dad, I'll tell you the truth, first, I'm not here now, second, Lin Qingyu is very good, but I can't stand that I'm a rookie, I don't deserve others at all, and I won't delay others if I make it clear early!"
Seeing Xue Huaiyuan's excited appearance, Xue Rin decided to be open and honest.
Although he didn't agree with the word "rookie", Xue Huaiyuan thought about it carefully and felt that his son's other conditions seemed to be really not good enough except for his appearance and ability to bluff people.
has no degree from a prestigious university, no career of his own, and is idle all day long, not to mention Lin Qingyu, even he, a father, can't get used to it.
"What you say is reasonable, then I won't arrange for you to meet Lin Qingyu in the future, and I'll handle it over Lin Jiashang's side. ”
Because of his own experience and past, Xue Huaiyuan has always opposed marriage, and he also thought that Lin Qingyu's child was a beautiful girl, so he wanted to match the two of them, but now seeing that his son has a clear attitude, he decided not to force him anymore.
"That's right, Dad! But I have something I want to talk to you about. ”
Seeing Xue Huaiyuan's concession, Xue Rin decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Why don't I have a bottom in my heart when I hear you say this!" Xue Huaiyuan had a bad premonition.
"Look at what you said, I'm not the Xue Rin I used to be now, I'm now version 2.0 of me, with an excellent father like you, how can I embarrass you! In order to transform into an aspiring young man, I plan to find a job, what do you think?"
Xue Huaiyuan was stunned, and such a positive energy Xue Rin made him a little at a loss.
"What can I think? Tomorrow, I will ask A-Yuan to accompany you to meet people in various departments of the company. ”。
"Hey, stop! I don't want to be an airborne trooper, I'll look for a job, so don't worry about it. On the way back, Xue Rin already had an idea in his heart.
"It's okay if you don't come to our company, as long as you go to the company to exercise and gain a long experience, I will be satisfied, as for the rest, my father fully supports." ”
Xue Huaiyuan knew that his son had been a person who made his own decisions since he was a child, and his persuasion was useless, so he simply let Xue Rin do what he wanted to do.
"Thank you, Dad! But I still have one more thing, you see I'm so old, and now I'm going to start working, do I have to be independent? So in order to hone myself further, I proposed, I rented a house and moved out. ”
"Move out, where do you live, what about eating, is it necessary?"
Regarding this proposal, although Xue Huaiyuan did not object, he still understood his son.
Xue Rin has never sat on public transportation in Dalian since he was a child, and he doesn't necessarily know what the kitchen looks like, let alone buying vegetables and cooking, Xue Huaiyuan really doesn't dare to compliment him with such survival skills.
"Of course it's necessary, I have to suffer a little bit like you did back then, and I can take care of you in the future, right? ”
Xue Rin himself was almost impressed by his "determination", which was carefully planned by him on the way back.
"Why do you live there?"
"I think at the beginning, when you and my mother started a business, didn't you live there for a while, didn't I think about the bittersweet memories for memories. ”
Hearing these words, Xue Huaiyuan was silent for a while, and the past instantly surged back, countless sleepless nights, countless setbacks and blows, all of which were survived by his long-lost lover.
In front of him, the crystallization of the love between the two of them, Xue Rin, has reached the age to relive that period of years mixed with hope and struggle, thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little emotional.
Qi Hang had been silent on the side, and when she saw Xue Huaiyuan's expression, she suddenly had some ideas.
"Huaiyuan, didn't you buy that old house?
Hearing the "old house", Xue Rin was a little puzzled.
"You reminded me, Rin, do you remember that I told you that your mother and I lived in the city when we first graduated? We had no money at that time, so we had to rent an attic, which was really cold in winter and hot in summer. After your mother died, I had a dream that she was standing on the balcony of the attic to dry clothes, and I thought at that time that it was your mother who had feelings for the attic, so I immediately troubled your aunt Qi to help me buy the two-story building. ”
Xue Huaiyuan said and pulled Qi Hang to sit beside him.
"I don't know about this! There is such a story, Dad, if you agree, I would be happy to live there. ”
Xue Rin originally thought that the vicinity of the building where Yao Zhixia lived was full of old buildings built in the last century, and it would take a lot of effort to find a place where he could live comfortably, but now it is okay, it takes no effort to come, and it is also the place where his parents once lived, although many years have passed, there must still be traces of his mother's life, and when he thinks of this, Xue Rin's heart is a little warm.
"As long as you don't dislike the old building, the house is naturally not as good as our group hotel, but I have done repairs and maintenance after I bought it, and will arrange people to clean it regularly, although the house is not big, but you live alone is more than enough." ”
"Okay! That's it! Dad! Aunt Qi! Thank you for supporting me!"
Xue Rin didn't expect that tonight's negotiations would go so smoothly, and when he thought that he was going to move to a place that belonged to Yao Zhixia, his mood was extremely bright.
"Okay, don't be sensational here!Go to sleep!" Xue Huaiyuan urged impatiently.
"Woohoo...... I've been sleepy for a long time, so I'll go back to sleep now, we young people, we can't survive you middle-aged people. ”
Xue Rin was about to go back to the house, but suddenly remembered something, and he immediately mysteriously took out something from his pocket and handed it to Qi Hang.
"Aunt Qi, I bought the toothpaste you wanted, thank you!"
The corners of Xue Rin's mouth pulled out a meaningful smile, and after speaking, he turned around and went upstairs.
Looking at the toothpaste in Qi Hang's hand, Xue Huaiyuan was a little puzzled, "Didn't Sister-in-law Liu just buy a new toothpaste?
"Don't ask, I have a toothache. ”
Qi Hang looked at Xue Huaiyuan, who didn't know anything about his son's emotional world, helplessly, and got up and went back to the house after speaking.
"Hey, a toothache is not a trivial matter! Hurry up and see a doctor tomorrow, I'll tell you!"
"Qi Hang! Did you hear that? I said that you usually eat less desserts, but you don't listen, but now it's okay, you have a toothache! I'll ask A-Yuan to make an appointment with your dentist tomorrow, you can't escape, you know?"
Hearing the broken thoughts coming from behind him, Qi Hang couldn't help but stop, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
