Chapter 199: Mutual Harm

Xie Qingcheng hadn't planned to go to the appointment, but He Yu took Yaya away.

The Kindergarten teacher was completely oblivious to the seriousness of the problem: "We all know that's your friend, we've read the papers and we know he's a previous hero of the war, so when he drove up to pick up Yaya, I let him take the baby."

The teacher stroked her hair, "Any questions?"

Xie Qingcheng face somber: "...... I ask you not to give the child to any of my friends in the future."

"But that's a hero ......" the teacher was aggravated, "Anyone else I'm sure I'd check with the parents ......"

Xie Qingcheng thought that he would write a letter of complaint to the principal of the kindergarten after the incident was over, while walking out of the kindergarten without looking back, dialing the strange number he had talked to before at the door.

After waiting for the bell to ring three times, the phone was answered.

"Hello."

"He Yu." Xie Qingcheng couldn't stand the act of holding a child hostage, "What do you mean by that."

He Yu laughed softly, "Oh, I was just looking at Yaya's cuteness and wanted to invite her to my place as a guest."

"If you have anything to say or do, you can come to me directly, don't move her."

"...... Are you really treating me as some kind of 10 evil criminal?" He Yu lightly said, "I said, I just want to invite her to be my guest without any other intentions."

"......"

"Besides what could I possibly want in a two year old? She's worthless to me, and if you're really worried, just come and get her."

Xie Qingcheng : "...... Give me half an hour, I'll go to that address you sent me."

Twenty minutes later, Xie Qingcheng sped to the spot where they had agreed to meet.

Xie Qingcheng didn't know what it was just by looking at the name on the map, but when he arrived, he realized that it was a luxury residential area, and after entering the park, he first had to drive through a large artificial lake and lawn to get to the residential area, which was nearly a 15-minute drive away.

When Xie Qingcheng arrived at the door of He Yu's villa, Guan Jia, his newly hired personal representative, was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Xie, please follow me."

This villa was bigger than the previous one in He's family, pure English style, and there were even two racehorses, one black and one white, on the large private lawn opposite the front door.

Guan Jia introduced Xie Qingcheng to the architecture of the villa, but Xie Qingcheng was not interested in listening to these things and asked him to take him directly to Yaya. Guan Jia smiled and politely respected Xie Qingcheng's wish, and without any further detours, led him straight to a guest suite on the third floor.

The door pushed open, and as soon as he walked in, Xie Qingcheng saw his niece lying on a large bed with a soft woolen blanket, and he immediately went over, "Yaya."

"......唔......" The little girl woke up from her sleep with a big yawn and some cake crumbs on her mouth, she giggled as soon as she saw Xie Qingcheng. "Uncle grabbed ......"

Xie Qingcheng suddenly sighed in relief and hurriedly picked her up from the bed.

"Why did you go home with a stranger? Did something happen? Did someone bully you?"

His words asked too much, the little girl not to mention can not answer, even remember can not remember. She looked at Xie Qingcheng in a daze for a while, before milky voice: "No ah, good-looking big brother to play with me, give me seven good seven snacks, but also tell me the story of the Department of ...... talk about the Nick Fox Nick and... ...a little rabbit a few of the story system ......"

"Then how did you fall asleep?"

Yaya froze for a moment, thought hard, and remembered, "Bunny Several's old system sounds sleepy."

"......"

"What about big brother?"

"Big brother ......" Yaya tried to think for a moment longer, "I think ...... said to pick up the conversation."

"Answer the phone?"

"Uh-huh."

At this time, a person s voice suddenly came from behind him, "...... Mr. Xie, it seems that you still really think that I will do something to her. Is that right?"

Xie Qingcheng hugged Yaya and immediately turned back.

Guan Jia had already left in good humor, and He Yu stood alone in the heavy walnut doorway of the guest room, in a fine formal dress, looking at him faintly.

In fact, He Yu had already arrived when Xie Qingcheng entered the room, he had a temporary conference call, but it wasn't too important, Xie Qingcheng came, he didn't have much mood to follow by himself, and quickly ended the call.

When Xie Qingcheng leaned over the bed to hold the baby, He Yu came downstairs after receiving a message from Guan Jia, and he caught the scene in his eyes.

He should have uttered a word at once, but he found his eyes longing to take in the scene a little longer, and so his mouth and brain naturally went together and muffled his voice.

He just leaned against the door frame, watching Xie Qingcheng that tall and straight figure half propped up on the bed covered with snow-white fluffy blankets, his back slightly arched up, still like the memory of the smooth lines. That line all the way to the narrow waist side, his waist is still so thin, so strong thin ......

It's so pretty.

He wanted to.

It throbbed between my fingers, and I wanted to hold on to it as hard as I ever had.

He knew that his desire for Xie Qingcheng simply continued unabated, and despite his cold words, just watching Xie Qingcheng bend over to take the baby from the bed was too much for his restless heart to bear.

I'm afraid no one but himself could believe that the only thing he wanted to do at this moment was to walk over from behind and press the unresponsive Xie Qingcheng between the pillows--didn't he like children?

Fine, as long as Xie Qingcheng can get pregnant, he can let her get pregnant tonight as she wishes. He doesn't mind making Xie Qingcheng pregnant many times.

By the time he watched Xie Qingcheng pick Yaya up and stand beside the bed to coax the child, the dark lust in his heart was even crazier.

Because Xie Qingcheng had an aura that could almost kill He Yu when he took Yaya, he looked so holy, so holy that people wanted to destroy him, he was so serious, so serious that people longed to see him lose control of himself, and he was so stoic, so stoic that people just wanted to see his eyes look confused and broken... ...

He Yu finally raised his voice to call out to him, really because he was worried that if he continued like this, he would really do something worse than a beast.

He loves his face these days.

He didn't want to go that way yet.

Xie Qingcheng heard the sound and looked back at him without saying anything, but Yaya smiled first: "Big brother ......"

Xie Qingcheng: "Call him Mr. He."

Yaya : "Well ...... why?"

"......"

"It's fine, just call me brother." He Yu slowly walked over and stopped in front of Xie Qingcheng, but his eyes looked at Wei Mengye, "How is it, are you having fun here in brother's place?"

"Happy!"

"Then later ...... if there is a chance, brother will come back to pick you up to play."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Xie Qingcheng's face sank: "He Yu, what do you mean."

"Want to have a forgotten friend meaning." He Yu smiled, then looked at his watch, "It's getting late, have dinner before you go?"

"No need."

"You shouldn't have refused me." He Yu smiled gently, "After all, Yaya likes my place a lot, so it's not a good idea to say that she'll be coming back more often."

"...... He Yu, you are not even putting the Wei family in your eyes anymore are you."

He Yu lifted his eyelids, "Congratulations, you finally read me."

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

"Mr. Xie, it's better to settle grievances than to tie them up, but it's just a meal, for the sake of your and my previous friendship, I'd still like to ask you to show your face." He Yu said, "Please."

.

He Yu arranges a private family dinner, inviting the chef of a reputable old character restaurant to cook at his home, and the dishes are delivered to the villa's small banquet room.

Yaya couldn't eat the heavy food, so she was taken care of by Guan Jia and went to the lobby on the first floor to eat some children's meals specially prepared for her. Only He Yu and Xie Qingcheng were left in the private room.

The dishes come one by one on the floor.

Sweet and sour lotus root folder, spicy hot pot, ice sugar stewed snow pear, milk jelly bunny ...... It is obvious that other people s chefs will make more exquisite things, but what comes up are all such simple dishes.

There's even Yangzhou fried rice with lots of shrimp, and dumplings stuffed with asparagus and horseshoes and fresh meat.

The dumplings are a tightly sealed trap of secrets - a table where only the two people who have no words for each other understand the depth of the meaning of the dish.

Soon the table was filled with dishes that seemed to link up all the memories of their past.

He Yu himself got up, poured Xie Qingcheng a glass of red wine, and raised his glass, "It's been a long time since we've eaten together like this. I wonder if you remember any of these dishes."

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

"That day when you and Anthony were arguing, I went up to help him, so you shouldn't be offended." He Yu said, "He couldn't beat you, and now he's considered one of mine, so I naturally had to take care of him."

Xie Qingcheng lifted his eyes, that day in the café, he heard He Yu say this, he already felt harsh, now he heard it again, his eardrums are once again vaguely painful, and so is his heart.

But never one to lose his poise, he said coldly, "I know."

Knowing it's your guy, it's not like you have to say it so many times.

He Yu folded his fingers and looked at him, "What did Anthony tell you then?"

Xie Qingcheng did not want to talk about love affairs, so he said, "Something from the past."

He Yu : "Also, he is your cousin after all."

"Since when did you know he and I were related."

"When I was in Australia." He Yu said, "Slowly, it became clear that you guys were alike."

Xie Qingcheng was silent.

It felt like it, so it took its place completely.

And He Yu used to be so serious to tell him that he was irreplaceable and that he would love him to every second ...... Perhaps it was because he had personally killed the He Yu of the past that it had all changed.

Xie Lishen said that one day he would take away Xie Qingcheng's most precious thing.

He finally got his long-cherished dream.

"Try the Ice Sugar Snow Pear." He Yu saw that he didn't say anything and pushed the snow pear soup to him, "The chef made it, it should taste good."

Three years ago when they separated, He Yu gave him a cup of ice sugar Sichuan shellfish pear stew, but Xie Qingcheng did not drink, said goodbye to He Yu.

Now this cup of sorbet looks like a return of an old favorite from three years ago.

But as soon as you open the delicate porcelain cup and see the pears simmering in it with a fine, moist knife, you know it's just a dish.

It's beautiful, but no longer has the same depth of feeling that the teenager boiled into it.

Xie Qingcheng refused to show vulnerability, slowly, under the watchful eye of He Yu, ice sugar Snow Pear bit by bit to eat - Chuanbei is very bitter, this is a cup of more ice sugar can not be solved dead.

Xie Qingcheng finished eating, put down the spoon, raised his eyes, and looked at the youth across from him, "He Yu, I don't have any personal agenda, but I think I should tell you that Xie Lishen, this person won't be sincere in treating you."

Who knows He Yu baffled for a moment, then laughed: "What sincere heart? ...... I don't need any sincerity from him."

"......"

"All he has to do is come up with the skills to make me feel comfortable, how much is sincerity worth? I've taken my heart to people before, and I didn't get any better."

"......"

"I'm doing well now, and I don't feel alone with him. Like I said, I was too young to look away when I was obsessed with you before."

Xie Qingcheng spun the wine in his glass, drooping his eyelashes without making a sound.

He did not know why He Yu had invited him to this meal, if it was just to talk about these things, then he knew enough. After being hammered like this several times, Xie Qingcheng could hardly feel anything except humiliation and sarcasm towards him.

How much did He Yu loathe him to be so obsessive, to want to see him lose his temper in front of him, to see his emotions shatter and reveal his vulnerable face.

Xie Qingcheng felt bored and tasteless.

Eventually he didn't want to force himself to do anything more, pushed the dishes away and got up.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Qingcheng looked at him without much expression, "I want to go back."

"Why."

"It's not a fun meal. Do you find it interesting?"

He Yu sized him up, not missing a single look on his face.

At that moment, Xie Qingcheng's cell phone, which had not yet been taken away from the table, suddenly rang.

He Yu glanced at the caller ID person.

--

"Chen Man".

He Yu slowly raised his eyes and smiled slightly, the smile unable to say whether it was calm or dangerous: "Actually, that's why you're in such a hurry to leave, Mr. Xie, isn't it? --Mr. Xie is in a hurry to catch the next show, to meet your Chen Yan Mr. Chen master?"

Chen Man The phone call was an accident, but Xie Qingcheng and He Yu looked at each other, and suddenly they were very reluctant to tell the truth.

He Yu was entangled with Xie Lishen, and he refused to decline and be alone, lest it seem to He Yu as if he were waiting doggedly for someone-he was unwilling to be so miserable.

Xie Qingcheng then did not answer.

"...... "He didn't speak, He Yu took it as his acquiescence, so that almond eyes were suddenly as deep as the ocean, unable to see the bottom, "......You are now with him now?"

Xie Qingcheng looked at him, "This is my personal matter."

For a moment, Xie Qingcheng could see anger in He Yu's eyes as he finished his sentence, but He Yu turned his eyes away, staring at the table decorations for a moment before picking up the red wine and shaking the remaining color of the blood in it.

The youth drank that red wine like blood.

Then put down the glass.

"Then I really have to congratulate you. You're still able to find a young man of Mr. Chen's caliber to fall in love at your age." He Yu resumed raising his eyes, already smiling, "Chen Yan tastes are really heavy, look at you, you're all four years old, still a cripple, your face is haggard, your description is withered, Mr. Xie, won't he find it stomach-turning when he kisses you?"

The words were so sharp that Xie Qingcheng had no more room for maneuver, and he became more and more silent, pursing his lips slightly.

He Yu then said, "Actually, you also surprised me, I remember that in the past you couldn't accept the same sex no matter what, and you still had a cold personality. Why have you changed so much in the past two years?"

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

Seeing that he remained silent, He Yu's eyes were chilly, the sarcasm in his smile deepened, and he actually didn't even bother with his poise: ''Is it because I trained you too well in the past that you can't go a day without a man? As far as Mr. Chen is concerned, he is a harmless little rabbit, can he make you feel satisfied? Can he make you happy? ...... Ridiculous, you're really not picky when you're older, you can make do with anyone, wouldn't you find him useless and uninteresting?"

Xie Qingcheng looked at He Yu smiling and laughing, but in fact has been very out of shape look.

Halfway through, he said, "He Yu."

"What?"

"I would have thought you would have been a little more dignified."

"......"

Xie Qingcheng lowered his eyelashes, took his own jacket, carefully buttoned it up, and finally said to the youth who was sitting over there holding his wine glass with a cloudy expression, "Farewell."

Turn around and leave.

He Yu did not stop him this time, after he left, He Yu could no longer hide the anger in his heart, he snapped and smashed the wine cups, the color of the wine spilled all over the table, the tablecloth was also ripped off by him, the table which was barely moved fell all over the floor.

...... Xie Qingcheng he ......

I can't believe he's with Chen Man!

How dare he ...... how can he?!

When He Yu was in Australia, he was unable to get to know Xie Qingcheng's situation due to various constraints, but after he returned to China, he once couldn't help but take advantage of Xie Qingcheng's absence to go to Strange Rain Alley on his own.

Xie Qingcheng's door is not against the gentleman, He Yu easily went in, he stood in the unlit room, looked around, and greedily breathed in the smell of the air belonging to Xie Qingcheng.

He saw the books on his desk, the clothes on his bed, the medicine by the tea table ......

Everything was the same as it had always been, and the years of the past few years never seemed to pass.

He hadn't seen anything related to Chen Man or any signs of a woman's life at that time, so he was slightly better off. But now Xie Qingcheng said in his own words that he was really trying to date Chen Man.

How far along are they in their relationship?

Holding hands? Kissing? ...... in bed?

That last image, He Yu couldn't take it anymore with just a slight thought. He furiously kicked over the table and left the private room with a sullen face, heading for his bedroom, the value on a monitoring pendant attached to his chest began to rapidly soar, that pendant was the same type of device as the bracelet Xie Qingcheng had given him back then, but the bracelet had been scrapped after the shipwreck, and now this pendant was used by Anthony to monitor his emotions.

He Yu's cell phone rings when the pendant's light goes completely red.

"What's going on over there He Yu?" Anthony's voice came through, "Why the sudden emotional outburst? I'll be right over ......"

"No need." He Yu leaned back and lowered himself onto the large bed in the bedroom, gasping, "Let me ask you, the last time you and Xie Qingcheng met, what did you tell him?"

"...... It's nothing, just some stuff we used to do." Anthony Staggers the conversation, "How are you doing now? Got any drugs around? Or maybe I'll hypnotize you right away ......"

"I said." He Yu gritted his teeth, "I don't need you to care."

"......"

"You leave me alone for a while."

He said, hanging up and tossing the phone aside.

There was a crazy chi energy rushing across his chest, and his chest ribs and flesh and blood could barely lock it in place. The sound of Xie Qingcheng's admission that he was trying to engage Chen Man just a moment ago kept echoing in his ears, and jealousy made his face turn a bit grim, the pain of not being able to ask for what he wanted making his selfishness and his heart swell more and more.

He's Xie Qingcheng.

Has his man ...... become Chen Man?

He Yu rolled over violently, one hand hammering the bedpan in a heavy fist before grasping at the messy bedding, but couldn't get a hold of the hand that would once have interlocked with his fingers.

He thought about Xie Qingcheng s eyebrows, nose, and lips ...... thinking about all the love, hate, and joy they had experienced.

Have those become Chen Man's?!

His sanity was completely torn apart by jealousy, his chest rose and fell violently, and in order to relieve the feelings that were almost tearing him apart, he thought of Xie Qingcheng's appearance on one side, and touched the source of his heart's fire on the other.

He hated ...... him so much that he gnashed his teeth and his liver.

Xie Qingcheng ......

"Xie Qingcheng ......!" His fingertips rolled, his throat murmured huskily, and his hateful desire rolled over and tangled in his chest, as he called his name, and his eyes were already scarlet under his disheveled frontal hair.

The person who was called didn't know about He Yu's love and hate, he had already gotten into a taxi, reported the location of the meeting with Chen Man, and sped far away.
