Take what you need

Chapter 24

After eating, Qin Yue said goodbye to Xie Xingzhou and followed Qin Heng into the car. As soon as she got in the car, she began to question Qin Heng: "What's wrong with you tonight? Are you a little abnormal?"

"...It's nothing." Qin Heng tore off his tie irritably, and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, revealing his uneven collarbone.

"Why did you speak so aggressively today? Just now I said something and you said something? Did you use me as a punching bag?"

Qin Heng stepped on the gas pedal hard, but didn't answer.

"Just use me as a punching bag. Do you know how embarrassed I was just now?"

Qin Heng kept silent, his face was getting darker and darker, Qin Yue didn't understand why, so he sighed softly.

"Sister, the matter between me and him... is a bit complicated, so don't ask."

Qin Yue: "I know, I didn't ask when he left before, and I won't ask in the future. Since we met again, it can only be said to be fate."

"If you believe in fate, please cherish it. Not everyone can be as lucky as you. If you lose it, you can get it again."

Qin Heng was speechless all the way, he parked the car at the door and asked Qin Yue to get off, while he returned by the same way.

Xie Xingzhou was standing at the door of the restaurant smoking a cigarette. He saw Qin Heng getting off the car with a faint smile on his lips, as if he had expected him to come back.

Qin Heng didn't even give him a look. Opposite the restaurant was the Four Seasons Hotel, and he booked a room as quickly as possible.

………………

The Qin Group's branch in Country A has been on the rise again and again after cooperating with the Xu Group. In terms of research and manufacturing of artificial intelligence medical robots, Xu will share a number of patents with Qin. It is believed that in the next three years There will definitely be international breakthroughs in artificial intelligence + medical care.

Xu Yunshan sat down with a piece of bread, and said to Xie Xingzhou who was watching TV: "We are going to hold a party tomorrow night, you can go with me."

"No." Xie Xingzhou refused straight away, stuffing a potato chip into his mouth.

"Let's go, everyone is in pairs, I can't be alone."

"What about your Jonson, Sean, Sheeran, James...?" Xie Xingzhou glanced at him like a scumbag, and said, "Don't use me for this kind of thing, I have to go to the beach tomorrow night Picking up the wind."

Xu Yunshan: "...Let's do it!"

After a while, Xie Xingzhou suddenly thought of something, he bit his potato chips and asked, "...Is Qin Heng going too?"

"Of course, this reception is to celebrate our successful cooperation." Xu Yunshan looked at him slyly, "Are you..."

Xie Xingzhou struggled a little in his heart: "...help me prepare a set of clothes."

"OK!" Xu Yunshan snapped her fingers happily, and ran excitedly to get the clothes.

Xie Xingzhou and Qin Heng had participated in a banquet of this scale before. He didn't talk about business, so this kind of social interaction was meaningless to him. When he arrived at the banquet hall, he was forced to follow Xu Yunshan to meet various bosses.

He looked around and didn't see the figure he wanted to see. After standing for a long time, he felt pain in his heels, so he patted Xu Yunshan and signaled that he would find a place to sit for a while.

Xu Yunshan was afraid that he would be uncomfortable alone, so he went with them. The two sat in the corner of the banquet hall. Xu Yunshan also brought a plate of fruit and put it between the two of them. He ate delicately cut apples with a bamboo stick. , looking at the people in the banquet hall with a smile: "He hasn't come yet."

Xie Xingzhou didn't answer, and took a sip of champagne, "Why did you introduce me to your partner just now?"

Holding a toothpick, Xu Yunshan pointed to a man in a dark blue velvet suit not far away: "Did you see that man? His father is a political party in country A and is in charge of the entire country's medical system. He has another identity......"

"What identity?" Xie Xingzhou put a piece of orange into his mouth.

"He is also a well-known collector, especially fond of Impressionist painters."

Xie Xingzhou is a cutting-edge impressionist painter.

"And that..." Xu Yunshan raised her chin and looked at the man on the other side of the hall: "A well-known artificial intelligence researcher on Wall Street, his wife is a colleague of Professor Leif, and has some artistic attainments Taller than your teacher."

Xu Yunshan explained: "Aren't I paving the way for your future?"

Xie Xingzhou raised his glass with a smile: "To you."

"polite."

As soon as he lowered his head to pour the wine, he felt a large shadow enveloping him. The pouring hand paused for a second...Xu Yunshan dropped the half plate of fruit and ran away quickly. He pretended to be calm and filled the wine glass and then Look up at him.

The faint scent of cologne on Qin Heng's body is refreshing, not complicated or sticky, and it doesn't look like him at all.

Xie Xingzhou raised his wine glass to him: "Boss Qin, please stay safe."

Qin Heng stuffed one hand into his pocket, and held the wine glass in the other hand and slightly raised his greetings.He sat down beside him, a wine glass filled with red liquid was placed by his hand, and his long legs were crossed with a sense of oppression.

Xie Xingzhou didn't dare to look at him, and raised his head unnaturally to drink.

"Why are you here?" Qin Heng tapped his slender fingers on the table, like an interrogator, waiting for the "sophistry" of the interrogated.

Xie Xingzhou kept looking at Xu Yunshan who was not far away, "I came with my friend."

The two were silent for a while, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed the second the wine in the glass was finished, the strength made him feel raw pain, and Xie Xingzhou kept his head down on the way he was dragged away.

Qin Heng's slender fingers held his wrist one by one. The blue veins on the back of his hand were slightly raised due to the force, and the raised wrist bones were half covered by the silver watch. It seemed that he had looked at Qin Heng's wrist so carefully a long time ago. hand.

These hands will pinch his shoulders and press him firmly under his body when he is angry, rub his sensitive waist when he is emotional, and enter his body at an inopportune time...

As if he had expected what would happen long ago, Xie Xingzhou closed his eyes and lay down. He had a premonition that he was unconscious and unwilling to go home, so Xu Yunshan took him for a drive along the road, passing a long section of winding mountain road The car drove to the top of the mountain, and the two sat on the front cover of the car to blow the air.

"I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

"I thought too."

Xie Xingzhou relaxed his body and lay back. The stars in the sky were blurred to a drunk person, only the cold wind blowing on his body was clear enough. He coughed twice, and confided his feelings to Xu Yunshan in a drunken voice: "I see The day I arrived at Qin Heng was the night when our team disbanded. He was sitting in his nanny car at the time. He was holding a cigarette between his hands and resting on the car window, dusting the cigarette ash with his slender fingers. Most of his face was hidden. In the shadows, but just that hasty glimpse, really amazed me for a long time."

At that moment, with the strength of alcohol, his emotions overcame his reason...

"I thought that people like him wouldn't take things like one-night stands very seriously, but I didn't expect him to ask me to sign a contract, and his actions made me think he wanted to support me."

"It happened that I needed money at that time, so I agreed without hesitation."

"In the process of getting along with him, I found that I would often look at him in a daze..." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I began to wonder if I liked him."

"When I was ready to pour out my feelings to him, I found that I was just a stand-in for him."

"He has a favorite, he will call that person's name in the middle of the night, and he has a picture of that boy in his wallet."

"But..." Xie Xingzhou choked up, "But then I felt that he seemed to like me a little bit."

"I comforted myself and said, it's okay, as long as I like me a little bit, but...but what I didn't expect was that he was Qin Zhenghong's son."

He didn't say anything later, but Xu Yunshan knew it all.

"So you used your plan and lurked beside him looking for an opportunity to attack Qin Zhenghong." Xu Yunshan said.

Xie Xingzhou hummed, put the wine bottle on his lap, and looked down at his toes.

He and Qin Heng were wrong from the beginning of their meeting, so every step they took later became farther and farther away from the original track.He had thought about bringing their relationship back on track, but it was all in vain. They had gone further and further down the wrong path, and got deeper and deeper.

"That parting erected more than 600 long nights between us, like more than 600 high walls, and the time that separated us was like a rose full of thorns that hurt both of us." Xie Xingzhou looked up at the starry sky, Stars twinkled in the long night, and memories flooded in. Every night I longed to see him was just like this moment, dark and long.

Xu Yunshan: "Then do you like him?"

Xie Xingzhou closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised: "I like it, I like it very much."

"Then what if he still regards you as Su Shi?"

He raised his hand to touch the wind, his fingertips felt cool, and laughter came from his chest, he said: "I don't hate him for using me as a substitute, because Su Shi is really worthy of his love. But He won't now, I know he likes me a little bit."

Xu Yunshan smiled: "Then go bravely, just don't trap yourself in the past."

The wind that night seemed to be very gentle. Xie Xingzhou looked at the stars in the sky gently. At this moment, he really wanted to buy a rose and bring it to Qin Heng when we meet next time, but I don't know when the next meeting will be. So afraid that the flowers will wither, he can only miss.

However, whether it is fresh or withered, it is just the emotional sustenance of human beings on this small earth. That rose is just a touch of bright red in a remote corner of the universe, and it is becoming another rose non-stop.. ....

And he will also continue to become another better Xie Xingzhou.
