Sticky

It's getting late, Qi Xingchen is afraid of Old Qin's blood pressure spiking from driving all night, so he and Bai Ye had a simple hot pot dinner and set off on their way home.

Before entering the gate, he borrowed a mirror from An Ran to adjust his expression. When he asked the security guard to open the door, the security guard was surprised: "Young Master, are you having a happy occasion?"

Qi Xingchen: "?"

"I have a feeling you're particularly happy."

"...... Homecoming, of course I'm happy," Qi Xingchen could only put on a stern face, "I'll go in first, you have an early night."

"Hey, okay!"

Is he so obviously happy? Qi Xingchen is about to break down, takes three deep breaths, and presses his fingerprint lock.

"Swish--" Four gazes like flying arrows, nailed onto him.

Qi Xingchen was confused for a few seconds, he always felt that his family gathered too often these days, especially to discuss something big.

Even Qi Yuji, forgot to make soup for his dearest brother.

"Xingchen," she asked, "did you eat tonight? I asked Auntie Zhang to cut you a fruit plate and bring it right away."

"Well, there's no hurry," Qi Xingchen sat down under Qi Xiaoming, "Dad, how's your health?"

Hearing that the first thing her youngest son did when he came home was to care about his own health, Qi Xiaoming's worried expression instantly turned into a loving one, "Don't worry, I'm in good shape."

"That's good. Brother, is the company busy these days? Sis, it's about to change season, do you have enough new clothes to wear? Jiaze, isn't it time for the midterm exam, are you prepared?"

Brother and sister and brother have been touched, scrambling to answer, "The usual!" "Enough to wear!" "Better than last time!"

Qi Xingchen saw that everything was fine at home, thinking that everyone gathered together might just simply chat, and let out a sigh of relief, "I ate hot pot before I came back, and now my clothes still smell like hot pot. I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll be right down."

Qi Yuji told him to go quickly, and when her brother's figure disappeared in the doorway of the room, she immediately changed her face.

"Who do you think Xingchen's hot pot was with?"

"It must be with the surname Park." Qi Jiaze gritted her teeth.

"Yunxiao," Qi's father looked to his eldest son on the opposite couch, "where were we just talking about ...... Right, how do you feel about that young man?"

"In my many years of experience in seeing people, no matter looks, culmination is good, family history according to the investigation can also be, is ......"

"What is it?" Qi Jiaze anxiously moved his butt, "Yunxiao brother you don't talk in half!"

"That is ......" Qi Yunxiao said helplessly, "Xingchen seems to be especially, especially fond of him and is being eaten to death by him, I'm afraid Xingchen will be bullied."

Upon hearing this, the remaining three people's faces changed in unison - Little Xingchen was their Qi family's most precious treasure, how could she just be bullied by others!

Then Qi Yuji reacted, "I don't think so. I watched Xingchen's program, and I felt that Bai Ye was very supportive of Xingchen, and seemed to be quite nice to Xingchen. ...... Besides, did you guys forget that it was Bai Ye who saved Xingchen's life when he ran into a creepy guy at the party?"

"That said ......"

After a moment's contemplation, Qi Xiaoming concluded, "Since Xingchen likes that kid, I have to see him with my own eyes, or I won't feel at ease."

Qi Jiaze hammered the coffee table, "I'll see what kind of goods abducted my brother too!"

"How about this," Qi Yuji suggested, "We'll split up the show. I'll go first, then Jiaze, and Dad'll be the last one to hold down the fort, how's that sound?"

"OK, agreed, it's a deal!"

.

After a few days away from home, Qi Xingchen's main concern was Tao Xuan.

Letting Qi Jiaze tutor Tao Xuan and regulate Tao Xuan's mood was a choice he had no choice but to make, and the risk factor was relatively high. He wasn't sure if Tao Xuan would open his heart in Qi Jiaze's company, but decided to go over and have a look.

He arrived at the hospital just in time for the morning activities, and the caregiver was walking Tao Xuan slowly through the corridors.

Seeing her employer arrive, the caregiver stopped in her tracks. Qi Xingchen signaled that she didn't need to greet her, walked over to Tao Xuan, and tried, "The sun doesn't shine in the corridor, do you want to go out and take a look?"

Unsurprisingly, Tao Xuan shook his head.

Qi Xingchen was satisfied to be able to talk to him instead of being indifferent, his voice soft, "Fine, the hallway is fine."

Tao Xuan didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.

Qi Xingchen was a meter away, following Tao Xuan's side, and Yu Guang observed his movements. The seriously ill are usually weak, and Tao Xuan is no exception, walking with difficulty, stopping every few meters to rest for a few minutes.

But he didn't give up, and kept going for two round trips before returning to the ward and sitting on the edge of the bed.

Qi Xingchen realized something and pretended to make small talk with him, "How's Jiaze's tuition going?"

Instead of answering Qi Xingchen's question, Tao Xuan asked rhetorically, "Did you ask him to tutor me?"

This question was not easy to answer, Qi Xingchen didn't pause at all and directly admitted, "It was me. But you've been with Jiaze for so long, you should know his character, if he doesn't want to come, even if I force him, he won't be able to come."

Tao Xuan froze.

"So don't be afraid to bother him, just talk to him if you need help, he'll be more than willing to help you."

Qi Xingchen paused, "And I have my own selfish reasons for letting him come - his foundation is too thin, and a temporary raid right now is the same as building a building on the beach, especially unstable. So I hope you can help him solidify his foundation, sort of helping each other out."

Tao Xuan didn't say anything for a long time, he didn't expect Qi Jiaze to come here voluntarily, and he didn't expect Qi Xingchen's character to be so real.

He thought that Qi Xingchen would cheat him, and he suddenly felt more favorable towards Qi Xingchen.

"...... Well," for a long time, he responded in a mosquito thin voice, "Qi Jiaze foundation is not generally weak, can't memorize even the simplest formulas, and his temper is not very good."

Bad-tempered? Qi Xingchen was surprised, "He bullied you?"

"No, it's just that it's easy to get anxious when discussing issues."

I knew it, Qi Jiaze couldn't possibly lose his temper with Tao Xuan, who had no power to fight back. Qi Xingchen sighed in relief, "I'll ask him to temper his temper later."

"It's okay, no need." Tao Xuan face for the first time showed emotions other than melancholy, "He's fine like this, let him keep it up, I ...... I can bear it."

It was Qi Xingchen's turn to freeze.

"Good," Qi Xingchen said sincerely, "thank you for being willing to help him."

.

Apparently, Tao Xuan's situation is developing in a better direction. Qi Xingchen was in a good mood, and after repeatedly explaining to the nursing staff to take good care of Tao Xuan and to contact him in case of any abnormalities, he left the hospital room humming a song.

When he walked to the elevator shaft, Liang Jing, who was doing his routine room inspections, appeared in the elevator. When he saw Qi Xingchen, he was silent for a few seconds before exiting the elevator, "Xingchen, you're back."

Qi Xingchen was prepared to run into Liang Jing, his expression calm: "I came back yesterday."

"Come to see Tao Xuan?"

"Yes."

"How's his mood?"

"Pretty good."

"Then I will not go first, wait until noon," Liang Jing was silent for a moment, "Come all the way, do you want to ...... to sit in my office?"

Last time, Bai Ye was angry with Liang Jing for a few days, so in order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, and to find out if Tao Tao has any contact with Liang Jing, Qi Xingchen decides to have a talk with him again.

Liang Jing and his mentor are specialists who come to the clinic for consultation, so they do not work in the general doctor's office, and the hospital has prepared a separate research room for them. There was no one in the study room at the moment, so Liang Jing poured a glass of water for him and the two of them sat down on both sides of the desk.

Next to the desk was a thick pile of cases, including Tao Xuan's. Qi Xingchen asked a few questions about her condition and then said, seemingly unintentionally, "Has Tao Xuan's sister been here for a few days? Qi Xingchen asked a few questions related to his condition, and after getting a clear understanding, he said, seemingly unintentionally, "Has Tao Xuan's sister come here in the past few days?"

Liang Jing raised an eyebrow, "You seem to care about her."

"Mainly because she cares about Tao Xuan," Qi Xingchen excuses, "she often comes to see Tao Xuan, it helps Tao Xuan's condition."

"No," Liang Jing said, "but Tao Xuan has been in good shape lately, probably because Jiaze has been giving him a lot of tuition."

She really didn't show up, and Qi Xingchen's suspicion of Tao Tao grew.

"By the way," Qi Xingchen looked out the door, not hearing anyone pass by, and lowered his voice, "there's something I need to tell you."

When he said this sentence his eyes flowed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, a certain kind of joy that he tried his best to hide but could not hide it burst out from the bottom of his heart, from his limbs, from his internal organs, and from his hot blood.

It makes the whole thing so vivid and alive.

Liang Jing suddenly couldn't move his eyes away.

However, the next words were like a pot of ice water thrown over his head as he heard the person across from him whisper, "I'm in love."

Five short words.

It took Liang Jing a long time to realize what this meant.

--What I said the other day about "letting go" wasn't a lie.

Xingchen, who's liked him for a long, long time, has now gone on to like someone else.

Clutching the pen hand can not help but tighten the grip, knuckles due to excessive force bluish white color, Liang Jing voice hard, "the other side of ...... Bai Ye?"

Not expecting Liang Jing to guess, Qi Xingchen's nerves abruptly tightened. However, he couldn't answer and didn't want to answer, dropping his eyes to remain silent.

Liang Jing was a smart man, and from Qi Xingchen's reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and his sense of loss was even heavier.

"I promised you that I would share everything with you," Qi Xingchen deliberated, "so please try to keep my secret, okay?"

Might as well not tell, at least he'll be able to hypnotize himself and come back to himself when Xingchen figures it out.

"...... Good," Liang Jing smiled bitterly, "I'll keep your secret."

.

On this day, Liang Jing left work early for the first time in his life.

The doctors at Jing'an Hospital were initially unconvinced by this young man, believing that he, a non-graduate student, was not qualified to intervene as a specialist.

Later they found that he was not only theoretical but also experienced in the immune system, and often came up with effective treatment plans, and gradually became more and more convinced of him, and their relationship became better and better.

Inside the locker room, looking at Liang Jing's absent-mindedness in changing clothes, a young doctor came up, "Jing, what's wrong, in a bad mood?"

Liang Jing's perfunctory, "It's fine."

"I'm in a bad mood and need to relax. I know a private club with good wine, lots of fun, and quite a bit of privacy, won't affect your promotion and hiring, go play with me?"

Liang Jing was a bit impressed.

"Come on," continued the young doctor, eager to get close to him, "I'll host, we won't drink much, we'll leave after the fun."

"...... Alright, no need for you to host, it's my treat." Liang Jing left with the young doctor.

The club that the young doctor took him to was quite nice, with the entrance requiring a check to see if he was carrying a pinhole camera or other photographic equipment on his person, and the private rooms were fully enclosed. The two of them even saw a familiar singer in the process of going up the stairs, so it was evident that it was very private indeed.

After opening the private room, Liang Jing directly asked for two bottles of foreign wine. No song, no talk, open the wine is to drink.

The young doctor was able to accompany him at first, but later he was also frightened by his recklessness, Liang Jing drank three cups, he accompanied one cup.

Even so, after another twenty minutes of drinking, the young doctor was too drunk to win and fell asleep directly on the couch.

Liang Jing looked at his colleagues who were snoring straight away, and wished that he was the one who was drunk at the moment.

That way he could forget about Xingchen for a while, forget about the little boy who used to follow him, forget about Xingchen ever liking him.

And forget that Xingchen doesn't belong to him now.

That's right. Probably that's how people are. You don't appreciate it until you've lost it.

He especially hates himself now, hates himself why he had to go far away from home in the first place, why he came back and realized that little Xingchen was so dazzling.

If it had been a little earlier, a little more earlier, wouldn't it have been him who made Xingchen so vivid.

Hindsight is the most useless emotion.

Liang Jing's family education from childhood makes it impossible for him to lose his temper in any public place. Wanting to yell and vent his anger turned into a drink, he asked the waiter to refill two bottles of red wine, and poured himself into the air alone.

I don't know how long he drank, he got up and went to the bathroom. Coming out of the men's room to wash his hands, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

After a few moments of careful differentiation, it was the family member of his own patient.

Liang Jing immediately resumed his doctor's posture and exchanged pleasantries, "What a coincidence, Ms. Tao."

"What a coincidence," Tao Tao also drank some wine, her cheeks like peach blossom pink, "I came to talk about a script, I didn't expect to bump into you at the club ...... Dr. Liang, you seem to be drinking a lot, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Instead, the body shifted twice without listening.

Tao Tao showed a worried look, "No, you must be drunk. Did you come by yourself or with others? Driving or taking a taxi?"

After the question, Tao Tao realized that Liang Jing did not move, his eyelids drooped and then opened.

The soft little hand grabbed Liang Jing arm, "It just so happens that my driver is driving a private car today, why don't I give you a ride home ......"

.

In the afternoon, Qi Xingchen went to Ocean World for a routine inspection, and in the evening, Qi Xingchen went home to eat fruit and chat with his family. After going back to his room and getting cleaned up, he first tweeted Bai Ye: [Are you free?

Bai Ye was thinking about the question asked by the trainee and didn't react to his intention, returning: [Yes, why.]

Two seconds later, [Xingchen invites you to a video call]

Bai Ye picked up and casually said, "No family?"

"...... The family goes to bed earlier," Qi Xingchen tested, "Are you working."

"Well, thinking about the score," he paused, "but not delaying videoing with you."

Qi Xingchen sighed in relief, "That's good."

Immediately afterward, he realized he might be a bit unintelligent and said, "You think about you, and I'll supervise while I brush up on my Twitter feed."

Listening to his cautious tone, Bai Ye sighed inwardly.

By common sense, with the Qi family's family background, even if they hadn't been raised to be that kind of arrogant and domineering, the little fan should have been capricious, egotistical, and careless.

But during their time together, the little fan had been careful and cautious, not even needing Bai Ye to do or say anything, he himself had already put himself in the lowest and lowest position.

Bai Ye's heart ached and ached like a bite from a newly teethed kitten.

He looked down, tapped the content of the score and sent it to the other party, "Your video came just in time, after watching it several times, I've lost my ability to screen this score. You sing it once for me, I'll see how to change it."

Bai Ye can't tell if it's good or bad? Qi Xingchen couldn't believe it, "Really?"

"Really, why would I lie to you."

It turned out that not only did he not bother Bai Ye, but he was also able to help him, Qi Xingchen's Yuan Qi value was instantly maxed out, "Yes! But my singing is not good, don't mind."

"Not too, sing."

After all, Qi Xingchen wasn't a professional singer, so his singing couldn't be said to be very good, but his pitch and rhythm were fine. Bai Ye listened and thought for a moment, "What do you think of this one."

Ai Dou, who has been on the road for seven years, asked for his opinion, and Qi Xingchen showed a flattered expression, "I think ...... I think it's too tight between the third and fourth quarter, maybe we can insert two eight beats to soothe it."

Singing it only once, with something as innate as singing quotient and sense of voice, it's relatively easy to spot a problem and difficult to suggest a solution.

Bai Ye asked Qi Xingchen with the intention of coaxing his boyfriend, but he didn't expect Qi Xingchen to come up with the right insights and solutions without having studied composition.

It shows that the little fan aura is quite sufficient.

He said unexpectedly, "You feel pretty much the same way I do, so let's change it together?"

...... Bai Ye actually invited him to create something together! Qi Xingchen was even happier and nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Music is kind of addictive, plus the two of them coincide with a lot of ideas, and the more they discuss it, the deeper it gets.

Unconsciously, an hour had passed, and Qi Xingchen realized that the time had already passed midnight when his cell phone indicated that it was running low on battery power. He was afraid that Bai Ye would not be able to get enough sleep, so he hurriedly stopped, "Let's stop here today."

Bai Ye "hmmm", "Tomorrow I'll have the trainee rewrite it in the direction we talked about."

Into the book half a year, on the surface Qi Xingchen accepted the identity of the "second young master of the Qi family", but in the bones, he is still like that pair of earrings, is that in the abyss looking up at the night sky teenager.

The word "we" gave him a secret pleasure, Qi Xingchen inexplicably a little sour nose.

How could he be so good as to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Ye?

Qi Xingchen thanked, "Thank you for staying with me so long tonight, I'm too clingy ...... I'll change it."

But Bai Ye immediately refused, "No, no need to change."

His voice was low and soft, "Keep it up, I like it when you stick to me."
