Chapter 38: Brotherhood

The place to eat was chosen by Gu Qing, and it is said that it was a restaurant that he accidentally saw one day when he was waiting for Tao Xiu to get off work in front of a sushi restaurant.

Not long after it opened, it was very chic, with a pure white two-story room, like a small wooden window in a fairy tale, and even the seats made by guests were deliberately made into pure white birdcages.

Gu Qingyan saw through the window that most of the people eating inside were couples, but to his surprise, there were men and women, men, women, Tao Xiu said that he thought about it too much, but Gu Qingyan insisted on going in to eat.

That day happened to be a gathering of teachers and staff, Tao Xiu wanted to eat with other professors, only Gu Qingyan was not bored alone, so he didn't eat, and it happened that Jiang Chen called to make an appointment to eat together, so Gu Qingyan made an appointment to eat here.

"There's a seat over there." Gu Qingyan pointed to an inconspicuous corner, and next to the corner was a wooden elk bookshelf, on which were some leisure magazines.

Tao Xiu took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, "There seem to be four positions over there." ”

"Jiang Chen will bring someone over." Gu Qing pulled Tao Xiu to sit down.

Tao Xiu was taken aback, "I'd better go back and eat." ”

Gu Qingfang's hand quietly wrapped around Tao Xiu's waist under the table, and his lips were close to his ear and said ambiguously: "I've slept all the time, and I'm still afraid of seeing people?" ”

Tao Xiu waved his hand away, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Here they are, old man, you give me some face." Gu Qingyan suggestively pinched Tao Xiu's soft palm.

Tao Xiu saw two men walking towards them, and glanced at Gu Qingfang suspiciously, Gu Qingyan nodded gently, Tao Xiu sighed in his heart, anyway, if you don't come, you will come, just give Gu Qingfang some face.

Gu Qingfang kept Tao Xiu, he was in a good mood, and whistled at Jiang Chen, "Yo! Finally met the real person. ”

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "This is Gu Qingfang, this is his lover, his name is Liancheng." Jiang Chen introduced them one by one.

Tao Xiu almost knocked over the teacup when he heard this, what lover... When did he become Gu Qingyan's lover? He is obviously Gu Qingma's English professor, why do Gu Qingma's friends also like to talk nonsense as much as Gu Qingma?

Gu Qingmad quickly helped Tao Xiu's cup, Jiang Chen's introduction made him very satisfied, seeing Tao Xiu's embarrassed look, Gu Qingmad suddenly stole a fragrance on his face, "That's right, this is my lover, old man, he is Jiang Chen." ”

Tao Xiu nodded awkwardly and said to Jiang Chen and Liancheng; "Hello."

Lian Cheng poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chen, sat quietly on the side and did not speak.

The four of them ordered a lot of dishes, Tao Xiu and Liancheng ate silently, Gu Qingyan and Jiang Chen chatted without a word, talking about work matters, Tao Xiu didn't understand, but guessed that the work content of the two should be similar.

Almost after eating, Tao Xiu went out to answer a phone call, while Liancheng went to the bathroom, leaving only Gu Qingyan and Jiang Chen.

Because Gu Qingmad has completed a few more projects, so the two of them have made a lot of money, Jiang Chen raised the cup with lemon tea, "Gu Qingmad, replace wine with tea, thank you." ”

Even if they didn't say it explicitly, they all understood what the other party meant, and Gu Qingyan also raised his glass, "Thank you?" Without you, there would be no me today, that is the person you are looking for in 'drunkenness'? ”

Jiang Chen nodded.

"It's a little familiar."

"He's an MB, and I used to go to 'Scarlet' to listen to him sing." Jiang Chen boredly poured tea on Liancheng's cup.

Gu Qingyan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, let alone an ordinary man, your parents won't agree, and there is no possibility for someone like Liancheng." ”

Jiang Chen smiled disappointedly, "I know, so what?" Gu Qingfang, I didn't expect you to think the same way, he is different from others. ”

Gu Qing shook his head wildly, "I don't think it's wrong for you to like him, it's just a reminder to you as a brother." ”

"I need a lot of money for him, thank you." Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and would tell Gu Qingyan about this, not because he wanted Gu Qingmad to stand on his side or help him a lot, but more just to seek psychological comfort.

He can't tell his family, and there is no one he can trust, the only person he doesn't want to hide is Gu Qingman, tell Gu Qingmad about it, just so that at least one person in this world knows that he and Liancheng are together.

"If you need help, just ask." Gu Qingfang patted his chest.

Jiang Chen had helped him when he needed help the most, and Gu Qingmad had sworn a long, long time ago that no matter what happened in the future, Jiang Chen would be his brother, this is not love, but it is also another kind of friendship that can live.

"I have already read the system and software you sent me yesterday, and the contract has been set, and Boss Sun gave a price of four million to buy out the system and the ......associated software," Jiang Chen said as he took out the contract in black and white from his bag.

Gu Qing rubbed his temples wildly, "You can just do it, didn't you say that this is not my business?" ”

Jiang Chen smiled, stuffed the contract back into his bag, and teased: "You're really not afraid that I will cheat your part of the money." ”

"You don't love it." Gu Qingyan looked at money very lightly, for him, as long as the money was enough to spend, he couldn't buy anything else he wanted, of course, if he could buy Tao Xiu's heart with money, Gu Qingyan wouldn't say that.

Jiang Chen looked at Gu Qingmad's face, he did his best to help him because he admired Gu Qingmad's ability, and he was also impressed by Gu Qingmad's personality charm and character, the two of them could always cooperate to make money because of trust, no matter who it was, they never doubted each other.

After Tao Xiu came back after answering the phone, Jiang Chen had already paid the bill, Gu Qing looked at Tao Xiu and frowned, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The National English Speech Contest has been moved forward to next week, and the president asked me to wait a while to represent JCDecaux University in the pre-competition meeting."

Gu Qingfang got up, "Jiang Chen, then we'll go first." ”

Jiang Chen nodded, "Okay." ”

At this time, Liancheng also came back, Jiang Chen took Liancheng's coat, "They have something to go first, let's go home too." ”

"Okay." For the first time, Liancheng felt the warmth of the word "home".

After Gu Qingfang drove Tao Xiu to the meeting place, he unfastened his seat belt and opened the car door, "How long will the meeting last?" ”

Tao Xiu shook his head, "I don't know, you go back first." ”

Gu Qingfang suddenly hooked Tao Xiu's chin before he was about to get out of the car, twisted his face towards himself, and then kissed the tip of Tao Xiu's nose like a dragonfly, and let go happily after taking advantage, "Go quickly." ”

Tao Xiu lifted his sliding glasses, not knowing what to say for a while.

The car door was closed by Tao Xiu with moderate force, and his back gradually faded away in Gu Qingfang's sight.

Gu Qingfang looked at the time, and decided to rest in the car for half an hour first, tune the music in the car into a lyrical and slow English song, and then lie flat on the adjusted car seat, lazily close his eyes and rest.

Recently, I have been working a lot, and I often go to bed very late, and I don't want to show tiredness in front of Tao Xiu, so I can only squint for a while to recuperate when he is away.

Tao Xiu took the elevator up to the top floor, and walked into the spacious conference room with all his peers, the conference table is rectangular, Tao Xiu's seat is arranged at the end, just facing the speaker, next to one after another transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, slightly turn your head to see the high-rise buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Not long after the meeting began, there were already dark clouds outside the window, and the thunder was deafening, Tao Xiu looked at the sky outside the window and thought: Gu Qingyan should have returned to the dormitory.

"Professor Tao of JCDecaux University, do you have any suggestions or comments on this English National Speech Contest?" The spokesperson for the organization of the contest turned his attention to Tao Xiu.

Tao Xiu stood up calmly and put forward his own suggestions for this competition, and all the professors present nodded approvingly after listening.

The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and it didn't take long for it to pour down, and the tall buildings gradually became blurry in the heavy rain, as if they were shrouded in a thick fog.

The cold rain poured on the floor-to-ceiling windows, the air conditioning in the room was already turned on, the temperature became even lower, the meeting lasted for more than two hours, and at the end, Tao Xiu felt that his body was as hard as an ice cube.

The heavy rain did not stop for more than two hours, Tao Xiu watched his peers leave one by one, and he had no umbrella so he had to stand in place, frowning lightly and looking at the time on his watch.

"It seems that I can't wait for the rain to stop...... Tao Xiu muttered to himself, neatly took off his coat, wrapped his bag in his coat, protected the introduction materials of the competition, and slowly walked into the heavy rain.

The rain was heavy and rapid, and Tao Xiu only took a few steps, already soaking wet.

"Stupid, why don't you wait a little longer!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, a large transparent umbrella blocked above him, Tao Xiu turned his head, and saw Gu Qingfang, who was drenched and embarrassed, and the eyes under the unruly sword eyebrows reflected his face very clearly.

"Why didn't you ......" leave? It was raining so hard and I had such a long meeting.

Gu Qingfang grabbed Tao Xiu's shoulders, covered him tightly with an umbrella, and slowly walked towards the direction where the car was parked.

"I was sleeping, I was woken up by the heavy rain, but I was not allowed to park at the door, so I had to get out of the car and buy an umbrella at a nearby shopping mall, why don't you wait, the weather is cold, so you will catch a cold in the rain." Gu Qingfang's sword eyebrows were knotted, obviously angry.

Tao Xiu lowered his head, "It's raining so hard, why don't you go back first?" ”

"I'm going back, how are you going back?" Gu Qingfang said angrily, "Get in the car." ”

Gu Qingfang opened the car door and blocked the door with his hand, Tao Xiu got in from under the umbrella, and Gu Qingyan also got into the car.

Tao Xiu shuddered, Gu Qingfang turned on the heating as soon as he got into the car, then turned off the laptop that had been working for more than two hours, and took a spare towel from the back seat to wipe Tao Xiu's face.

"I'll do it myself." Tao Xiu reached out and tried to take the towel, but was stuffed with a few paper towels.

"If you have spare hands, you might as well wipe them for me." Drops of water flowed down Gu Qingyan's angular features, and when he thought that Gu Qingyan was only getting drenched in the rain because he was waiting for him, there seemed to be no way to refuse such a small request......
