overdue lover

Chapter 47 Questioning

Ji Qinglin understands his friend's eagerness to sell himself, but he is really not in the mood to think about relationship issues right now.

Xin He squeezed her fingers, looking a little regretful.

Suddenly he remembered something, straightened his upper body, looked at Ji Qinglin for a few seconds, and asked, "Are you having a conflict with Huanyu's boss?"

Ji Qinglin was startled, and asked him why he felt so.

Xin He put away his phone, "A friend in the circle said it, but he didn't know exactly what happened, so he said it was quite chaotic. I thought, what if there are irreconcilable conflicts, what should we do in the future cooperation."

"It's not a big problem," Ji Qinglin thought for a while, then naturally changed the subject, "He was also injured in the avalanche, do you want to visit him?"

Xin He nodded, "I made an appointment with the hospital for a visit tomorrow morning, together?"

Ji Qinglin subconsciously refused, pointing to her legs, and smiled wryly.

When I was moving normally in the past, I never thought that restricted mobility would be so difficult. Ji Qinglin held the handle of the wheelchair with one hand and typed: "I won't go now."

Xin He rubbed Ji Qinglin's leg, seeing Ji Qinglin dodging, asked in surprise, "Your leg is still feeling?"

Jingjing slapped Xin He's "salty pig hand" off, and laughed and cursed: "What are you talking about?! I didn't realize that I couldn't stand up at all. Brother Ji is doing well, don't say such unlucky words!"

Xin He hurriedly "pecked" a few times to the air, trying to break the bad luck.

The young couple sang together, and Ji Qinglin listened to the cross talk with relish, with a smile on his face unconsciously.

It wasn't until Xie Lanchuan walked out of the kitchen that the joyful and relaxed atmosphere in the living room became a little less.

Xie Lanchuan glanced at Xin He first, then came to Ji Qinglin's side, put the sliced ​​fruit platter on Ji Qinglin's lap, and then sat down on the sofa behind him.

Xin He seemed to have not seen Xie Lanchuan, and still chatted with Jingjing about the latest gossip news.

Ji Qinglin could feel eyes falling on his back from time to time. Out of the corner of his eye, Xie Lanchuan was drinking water from a cup, with a bad expression on his face.

He was a little helpless, and decided to take the time to have an open and honest chat with Xie Lanchuan.

It was already 10:30 in the evening when Xinhe and Jingjing were sent off.

Xie Lanchuan and Ji Qinglin greeted each other and said to create, and then entered the guest bedroom expressionlessly.

Ji Qinglin didn't stop him, but just looked at his back thoughtfully.

For the next two or three days, Xie Lanchuan left early and returned late, and Ji Qinglin had no chance to talk to him.

Until one day Xie Lanchuan came home with a huge cardboard box.

Ji Qinglin moved carefully to the entrance, and looked curiously at the cardboard boxes that kept humming and chirping.

Xie Lanchuan opened the lid of the carton, and Ji Qinglin saw several black puppies wrapped in blankets, and in the corner was the doll that Ji Qinglin had seen in the photo.

The doll has been washed, and the pink dress is crumpled.

The monsters with their eyes open rolled around in the cardboard boxes, sniffing left and right with their small noses from time to time.

Xie Lanchuan didn't know when he changed into his home clothes and came behind Ji Qinglin, picked up the cardboard box, "I sent them to the pet hospital for a check-up and vaccination, and the adoption certificate is in my coat pocket."

He raised his chin to signal Ji Qinglin to look in his coat pocket, and Ji Qinglin found the adoption certificates of the two puppies inside.

"The pet hospital said that a person can only raise one puppy, and we need to help them find owners for the remaining three."

As Xie Lanchuan said, he carried the puppies out of the cardboard box one by one.

The little ones who had regained their freedom looked at the strange room as if they were just born, and their small eyes like glass beads kept looking at Ji Qinglin, a stranger.

Ji Qinglin has no resistance to fluffy little things, but he has never seen a puppy that is not as big as a palm. He just stands far away, hesitating whether to go over.

Xie Lanchuan arranged the puppies in a row, patted the folds on the clothes, and asked Ji Qinglin, "Which one do you like?"

Ji Qinglin likes everything he wants to say. When he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of a wheelchair. He felt that he was inconvenient to move and could not take care of pets well, so he wrote to Xie Lanchuan: "Leave the smallest one to me."

These words made Xie Lanchuan laugh, "When people buy pet dogs, they always choose the liveliest ones. This is the first time I hear such a request from you."

Ji Qinglin smiled reluctantly—he was used to keeping the worst for himself.

Xie Lanchuan did not interfere with his choice, picked up one of the puppies with white hair between the eyebrows and held it up to Ji Qinglin, the puppy barked, its eyes and nose were wet, as if it had been greatly frightened .

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin gestured quickly, "Put it down..."

The little dog stopped making noise after its limbs fell on the ground. It approached Ji Qinglin's ankle, sniffed it, and circled around Ji Qinglin.

This was a friendly gesture. Ji Qinglin bent down with a stiff back, and touched the puppy's chin with his finger. The puppy didn't hide, but rubbed Ji Qinglin's finger affectionately.

I can't find a suitable family to adopt a puppy for the time being, and the others will stay at home first.

The first day was fine, but the puppies got familiar with the environment at home the next day and started running around the house.

On the third day, Ji Qinglin felt like crying when he saw the puppy pooping in the living room.

Xie Lanchuan took on the responsibility of "father", sacrificed the rest time to guide the puppies to defecate and urinate, and bought puppy food of various flavors and leashes of various colors for them.

Just when life seemed to be on the right track, Ji Qinglin received a call from Liang Rui.

When the call came, Ji Qinglin was doing rehabilitation in the hospital, he hurried home, Liang Rui was sitting on the sofa, Xie Lanchuan was standing aside holding a cardboard box full of puppies, his expression was as innocent as possible.

Thinking that his cousin might have misunderstood his relationship with Xie Lanchuan, Ji Qinglin felt tired for a while.

After closing the door, Ji Qinglin asked Xie Lanchuan to take the dogs back to the second bedroom first, because he had something to talk to his cousin.

Xie Lanchuan left, leaving only Ji Qinglin and Liang Rui in the living room.

Ji Qinglin grew up behind Liang Rui. In Liang Rui's view, Ji Qinglin has always been that well-behaved, docile and lovely little fan, the most sensible younger brother, but this relationship broke when Ji Qinglin fell in love with Gu Yinmo. The two also gradually distanced themselves.

It's not hard for Ji Qinglin to guess that his cousin heard some rumors and came to question his teacher.

"Man! It's a man again!" Liang Rui glared at Ji Qinglin who was sitting in a wheelchair, "Ji Qinglin, when will you get rid of this bad habit?! When will you be able to be with women?"

Ji Qinglin turned pale and looked at Liang Rui without speaking.

Knowing Ji Qinglin's sexual orientation has not been a day or two, but Liang Rui still can't accept that his cousin likes men.

He couldn't accept Ji Qinglin and Gu Yinmo being together.

"Did you go abroad with Gu Yinmo?" Liang Rui took out his mobile phone and called up the call history, "You didn't answer any of the hundreds of calls, and you blocked my WeChat, Ji Qinglin, you are really getting more and more courageous Bigger!"

Liang Rui's preaching tone has always been condescending, Ji Qinglin regards him as an elder and a friend, and never refute him, but Liang Rui's questioning now makes Ji Qinglin feel very uncomfortable.

"I lost my phone." In such an anxious situation, Ji Qinglin answered him in a hoarse voice without even checking the time of the call log.

Liang Rui was so angry by Ji Qinglin, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and asked again: "Why did Gu Yinmo take you abroad?"

Ji Qinglin's eyelashes trembled, and he found the most grandiose reason: "Work."

"Work?" Liang Rui laughed angrily, "What kind of work can't be done in China? Why did you travel so far away? Isn't it just a matter of taking a few photos?"

Liang Rui works in the financial field, and his superior salary and decent job make him naturally superior to others, and his words always reveal contempt for the photography industry.

Ji Qinglin slowly tightened his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair, but he didn't speak.

Seeing Ji Qinglin's silence, Liang Rui thought he knew he was wrong, and asked with a sneer, "Do your parents know that you met Gu Yinmo and went out together?"

When mentioning parents, Ji Qinglin pursed his lips and shook his head.

"Have you ever thought about how they would react if they knew?"

What kind of reaction can I have, but to slap myself first, and then cry like a victim, begging myself to be a normal person, begging myself to get married and have children.

Ji Qinglin experienced this five years ago.

Seeing him talking with men for a while, his parents cried and dragged him home as if he had seen a ghost, put him in a confinement room, and forced him to look at pictures of girls.

Ji Qinglin raised his head and looked at Liang Rui expressionlessly, "If you want to tell them, just go ahead and tell them."

Liang Rui frowned, and looked at Ji Qinglin in disbelief, "What did Gu Yinmo tell you? You are together again? Ji Qinglin, you—"

"I'm not with him," Ji Qinglin interrupted Liang Rui with a calm tone, "I can't be with him, but I won't marry a girl either."

It is irresponsible for a person like him to marry a girl.

"What if Gu Yinmo married a woman?" Liang Rui asked bluntly.

It's not that Ji Qinglin hasn't thought about this issue.

In the five years since he was separated from Gu Yinmo, he even imagined seeing the news of Gu Yinmo's marriage on the news one day, and he also fantasized about what kind of girl is suitable for Gu Yinmo.

He thought he was fully prepared psychologically, but he was still stunned on the spot by Liang Rui's question.

Liang Rui said: "Gu Yinmo's fiancée is from a top consortium that has had a relationship with the Gu family for several generations. The two of them are married. The original plan was to get married when Gu Yinmo was 30 years old. Later, Gu Wangshan had an accident and his fiancee They asked Gu Guanshan to hold the wedding as soon as he wakes up."

Liang Rui looked at Ji Qinglin's dazed look, and couldn't bear to continue talking, so he pinched his brows.

"Didn't Gu Yinmo tell you these things?"

Ji Qinglin's nails were deeply sunken in his palm, his knuckles were pale, and his body trembled slightly.

How could an outstanding person like Gu Yinmo not be favored? It's not surprising that he has a fiancee.

Were those words during the avalanche also lying to me?Ji Qinglin murmured in his heart.

There is no doubt that the result is positive.

After thinking about the answer, Ji Qinglin lowered his eyes, slowly spread his fingers, and lied without changing his expression: "I know he has a fiancee."

"Then you still..."

"Nothing happened." Ji Qinglin looked deeply into Liang Rui's eyes, "Except for that avalanche, nothing happened between us."

【Speak】

Liang Rui is a heartbroken big brother

Good night in advance! ! !
