Ling Yi felt that it was getting late, his friends were waiting for him in the private room, he couldn't stay here with Feng Chu for too long.
The scalding temperature just now seemed to be still beating in his hands, and there was a strong breath in the air. Ling Yi took a deep breath, sat up from the sofa reluctantly, and put his sweater on his body: "Mr. Feng, I should go back gone."
"Was that man just now a good friend of yours?"
Ling Yi didn't know how to explain it.
He has a very clear place for everyone in his heart, and the only friends he has a good relationship with are Meng Xihua and Feng Chu, who he played with since he was a child.
Qin Li and Ling Yi are not friends who talk about everything. They only sit down and have a good conversation when they need each other's help to do something and achieve a certain goal.
"Ordinary friends." Ling Yi said, "When I was in middle school, I would participate in some activities together during holidays and weekends."
Feng Chudao: "He seems to like you very much."
Ling Yi was a little helpless: "You think too much, he always wanted me to be with his sister."
Feng Chu raised his eyebrows: "Really? It seems that his family is very strict. Same-sex marriage is not allowed in his family, right?"
Ling Yi went to Qin Li's house a few times, and all the members of the Qin family were very serious and old-fashioned. Although same-sex marriage is permitted, some families resent it.
Ling Yi got up: "Mr. Feng, where is the bathroom? I want to wash my hands."
Although Feng Chu wiped it off for him, Ling Yi still felt uncomfortable with his fingers.
Feng Chu sent Ling Yi to the bathroom, hugged him from behind, and washed each of his fingers carefully with hand sanitizer: "It's a bit torn, don't touch hot things recently."
"Okay." Feng Chu rested his chin on Ling Yi's shoulder when he lowered his head, and Ling Yi wiped his fingers clean, "Mr. Feng, I have met your friend. He is my big brother-in-law."
"Such a coincidence?"
"Well, it's a coincidence." Ling Yi said, "My friend said that he plays an important role in City B and is a well-known figure in the circle, so I feel very surprised."
Feng Chu was inexplicably agitated, but he didn't know how to tell the truth.
Once this matter is mentioned, it will definitely affect his image in Ling Yi's heart.
Feng Chu's cell phone rang suddenly, he looked at the screen, it was Chu Manwen.
Chu Manwen didn't call him easily, Feng Chu left the bathroom and went to the balcony to answer the phone: "Mom, what do you want?"
"Have you been in City C recently?" Chu Manwen said, "I found a very good doctor. If you are here, you can take Ling Yi to see it."
Feng Chudao: "Which hospital is it? I'll take him to see it another day."
"This old doctor is very old, and his family has opened a medical clinic. In recent years, her son and daughter have been treating patients," Chu Manwen said, "The old man is good at acupuncture. A few years ago, my friend's niece She was the one who cured the blindness in the left eye in the car accident.”
Feng Chu was dubious.
Chu Manwen knew that Feng Chu was very suspicious and didn't believe it, so she said, "I'll send you the address, if you have time, take Ling Yi there to have a look."
"good."
Chu Manwen said again: "Are you still hiding it from him?"
"I can't find the right time to tell him the truth," Feng Chu said, "Let nature take its course first."
"It's almost Chinese New Year, you can be unhappy yourself, don't make everyone unhappy with you," Chu Manwen said displeased, "What are you busy with during this time? Someone came to me to ask for help, saying that he didn't know why Offended you, you want to expose other people's background."
Feng Chu didn't really want Chu Manwen to intervene in these things.
Their mother and son have similar personalities, Chu Manwen can't control his behavior, and he can't control Chu Manwen's behavior.
"He covers people who shouldn't be covered, I don't like it." Feng Chu said, "Mom, don't meddle in these matters, just pretend you don't know."
"I'm too lazy to interfere." Chu Manwen said, "You have to take Ling Yi home after the Chinese New Year. The old lady has forgotten about Gu Ruochun now, and is clamoring to find you a partner."
"I'll talk about this matter later, I don't want Ling Yi to suffer any grievances in front of the old lady."
Chu Manwen said: "How much grievance can I suffer? Xiaoyi doesn't look like someone who can't bear grievances, and the old lady is not a mean and bitter little old lady, she is very self-cultivated."
"Mom, you haven't suffered any grievances from the old lady for so many years?"
"There is a little bit, but only a little bit. She thinks I'm not virtuous enough, and I haven't done my duty as a wife and daughter-in-law. Occasionally, I will show it. For your father's sake, I can accept it."
"Look, an excellent daughter-in-law like you, the old lady, will feel dissatisfied, let alone Ling Yi," Feng Chu said, "Other people have wronged Ling Yi, I can help him get it back, the old lady is an elder, if She is dissatisfied with Ling Yi's physical condition, embarrassing Ling Yi in public or saying something that makes Ling Yi sad. I can't do anything out of filial piety. In order to avoid this from happening, I can only temporarily keep him away from the Feng family .”
Chu Manwen smiled: "Mom is excellent in your eyes?"
"Of course you're talented and reasonable."
"Well, I always thought that you and your grandma thought the same thing, that I was not a good mother and that I was not attached to my family enough." Chu Manwen said, "You must try to see Ling Yi, since now If conservative treatment doesn't work, it's better to try a new treatment, it's not a major operation, and there won't be any accidents under normal circumstances."
Ling Yi came out of the bathroom, he found his coat and put it on.
Meng Xihua kept sending him messages: "Xiaoyi, where are you?"
"Have you quarreled with Qin Li? This guy's face is livid, and he doesn't like anyone."
"Qin Qiao has already been sent away by me, why haven't you come back?"
"..."
After hearing all the news, Ling Yi sent a message back to Meng Xihua: "I'll go back right away."
Just now Ling Yi just helped Feng Chu, Feng Chu didn't do anything to him, so he thought he should look the same now as when he left.
When Feng Chu came back from the phone call, he saw that Ling Yi had put on all his clothes: "Are you going back now?"
Ling Yi nodded: "I have to go home tonight, otherwise Dad will be angry."
Feng Chu rubbed Ling Yi's curly hair: "My mother recommended a doctor to treat your eyes. Are you free tomorrow? I'll take you to see it."
Ling Yi said: "Dr. Zhao is worrying about the medicines I take and the usual check-ups. If I suddenly change doctors—"
"It's different this time, it's treated through acupuncture." Feng Chu said, "We can try it first."
Ling Yi knew there was no hope, but he didn't want to disappoint Feng Chu and Chu Manwen's kindness: "If Dad isn't home tomorrow, I'll call Mr. Feng, and we'll sneak out."
"Okay." Feng Chu kissed Ling Yi's forehead, "How is your hand? Does it still hurt?"
Ling Yi smiled: "How can I be so delicate, maybe a little bit of skin is broken, it will be fine in a day or two."
Feng Chu covered Ling Yi's delicate palm with his palm.
Feng Chu's palms and fingertips had thin calluses from long-term rock climbing, a hard layer that was slightly rough.
I don't know why Ling Yi's face is hot.
He remembered the scene where Feng Chu helped him that day, and how Feng Chu touched his most vulnerable place with calloused and rough fingertips—how Ling Yi had forgotten the details, because he hardly did such things on weekdays, yes Emotional matters didn't arouse any interest, so at that time, he was suddenly frightened and lost his mind. He couldn't even resist, so he could only let Feng Chu molest his body at will.
Feng Chu said: "You put on your coat before you went out, is it a little hot? Your face turns red, don't catch a cold later."
Ling Yi coughed, and turned his face slightly: "That's not true. Mr. Feng, take me to the elevator and press the 40th floor for me."
Feng Chu sent Ling Yi to the 40th floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, two boys who looked like college students came over: "Xiao Yi, you're back? We're going to find you, and we've been waiting for you for a long time."
These two people also saw Feng Chu, Feng Chu's aura was incomparable to those young boys, his temperament was mature and stable, making it impossible to guess his age.
Ling Yi said to Feng Chu: "Mr. Feng, I'm leaving first."
Feng Chu didn't plan to meet friends like Ling Yi, they were all a bunch of little kids, and he didn't have much in common with these people.
Ling Yi's two friends followed him from left to right: "Xiao Yi, is that person your uncle or your brother? He is so tall, he must be more than 1.9 meters?"
Ling Yi smiled: "He is very young, how could he be my uncle."
"He is so handsome and looks cool, he can lift you up with one hand, just like a special soldier."
Although Ling Yi had never met Feng Chu, he had heard from more than one person that Feng Chu was handsome.
The three of them went into the private room together. Meng Xihua was happily chatting with Chen Qian, but when he saw Ling Yi came back, he hurried forward: "Xiao Yi, Qin Li said that you left with a friend, and what friend did you go to see? Why don't you let him go?" come together?"
"He probably doesn't like this kind of occasion." Ling Yi said, "He has already left."
"The six-layer cake we prepared for you, come and cut it quickly."
Chen Qian who was next to him didn't want to be a big boss anymore. He knew that Ling Yi couldn't see and it was difficult to cut the cake, so he hurried up to help.
Qin Li also walked over: "Brother Chen, I'm here to help Ling Yi cut the cake, you can go and rest by the side."
Chen Qian looked at Qin Li and then at Ling Yi, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, so he hurried to the side and sent a text message to Feng Chu: "There is another brat pestering your beautiful wife."
Ling Yi handed the cake knife to Qin Li: "You come."
Now that Qin Li calmed down, he restrained his emotions and said with a smile: "Is that man your boyfriend?"
"It's my husband," Ling Yi said, "We've been married for a while."
Qin Li slashed down and cut sideways: "This kind of joke is not funny at all."
"I'm not joking this time, I'm serious," Ling Yi said, "We got married in City B."
"Does your father know? I've never seen this man before. Isn't he from our circle? Or a rich man from other places? You married him rashly—"
"My father doesn't know. There are very few people who know about this matter, and you are one of them," Ling Yi said seriously, "So I don't want you to spread the word. If you can, you can just tell Qin Qiao alone. .”
Qin Li's hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't hold the knife: "How can you marry a man? Marrying a man is such an offensive thing—"
Ling Yi took a deep breath: "Qin Li, same-sex marriage is very common, you should make it official, even if you don't agree with it in your heart, don't call it 'immoral'."
Qin Li threw down the cake knife and went to the side.
Chen Qian looked at the movement here, and quickly added another: "Ling Yi seems to have rejected that brat, and now that brat has an expression of despair."
Meng Xihua came over with a plate: "Qin Li, how did you cut the cake? The sizes are all different, so ugly."
Others also came over to share the cake, and after eating two bites, they fought each other and wiped each other's faces.
Meng Xihua served Ling Yi a small piece of cake with the most fruits, and he sat on the edge of Ling Yi's sofa: "What's wrong with Qin Li? He's usually not angry, why did you offend him?"
Ling Yi didn't care what Qin Li was thinking, he said casually, "Maybe he's feeling sorry for Qin Qiao."
"Then there's no other way, I can't force you to fall in love." Meng Xihua pulled Chen Qian over, "Xiaoyi, if you don't like girls, my uncle is pretty good."
Chen Qian slapped Meng Xihua flying: "Don't talk nonsense."
He didn't dare to compete with Feng Chu.
Seeing that Ling Yi's fingers holding the plate were red and swollen, Meng Xihua couldn't help being concerned: "Xiao Yi, what happened to your hand? It was caught by the door?"
Ling Yi wanted to hide unnaturally: "I was scalded by a cup of hot water."
Meng Xihua didn't think much about it, and it's impossible for others to think in other directions, because Ling Yi usually feels very abstinent, polite to women, never too intimate with the same sex, and half-grown boys sometimes like to play Some dirty jokes, Ling Yi didn't even say dirty words, let alone these dirty jokes.
Things related to feelings seem to be out of tune with Ling Yi.
"Then be careful in the future, let the nanny do things for you at home, don't touch things by yourself," Meng Xihua said in a rambling voice, "Qin Li, what are you doing here? Are you not angry?"
Qin Li was only sullen for a while.
When he was hit for the first time, he inevitably felt depressed, and after the depression passed, he thought about it.
He knew that he couldn't get what he wanted no matter what, and even if he could get it, he couldn't accept it because of his family and his own thoughts.
"Let me talk to Ling Yi, you go first."
"Oh, tell me." Meng Xihua wiped a handful of cake on Ling Yi's face before leaving, "I'll go play with them."
Qin Li sat down: "Qin Qiao has been rejected by you a long time ago, she won't be too sad if you are with someone else."
Ling Yi took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped off the cream on his side face, then nodded.
Qin Li subconsciously felt that the man who was with Ling Yi was not simple, and looked very dangerous.
With Ling Yi's personality, Qin Li thought that the other party would choose a partner who was gentle and not sharp at all.
"Your husband looks very capable and skilled. It's not simple." Qin Li held back for a long time before saying this. "I think your father will definitely agree with your choice. He seems to meet your family's requirements. But, before you make it public, I won't talk nonsense with others, and I won't even tell Qin Qiao."
Ling Yi was slightly surprised, because it was the first time someone said to him that Feng Chu looked "very simple", because this description was very abstract, so Ling Yi couldn't imagine the concreteness.
But he was only surprised for a moment.
Qin Li said: "We can still cooperate with each other in the future, and it has always been a pleasure to work with you. Regarding Su Peiwan, my family will try to find a way to bring her to justice."
Ling Yi nodded: "Okay."
