Chapter 31: Strange

Because Shu Zimu's obvious soul was not at home, this gathering could not be continued any more, and it ended up not having fun. Qi Yan was very puzzled and worried about his condition, and wanted to know about it. So after Shu Zimu took the co-pilot, Qi Yan took the initiative and said, "Go to my house to see Xuexue?"
Shu Zimu heard Xue Xue's name and wanted to agree, but she turned around and saw Qi Yan's face, then shrank back if she wanted to exit. Although he felt awkward, Shu Zimu felt that he might indeed need to stay away from Qi Yan to calm down.
"Forget it, I'll go there again next time," Shu Zimu said, deliberately making excuses for himself. "It's already too late. If you want to send me back again, it will be midnight."
It was not difficult for Qi Yan to tell that this was just an excuse, but he remained silent for a moment: "Okay." Although he didn't know what happened to Shu Zimu, he felt like he was hiding a bit from himself? Qi Yan felt a little irritated about it, and still had a sense of helplessness not knowing what he had done wrong. However, Qi Yan didn't want to force Shu Zimu to say anything. Seeing that he wanted to stay alone, he still planned to follow him, thinking that it might be better in two days.
Qi Yan thought so, he didn't continue to investigate, but he didn't want Shu Zimu to deal with himself very stiffly, so he took the initiative to talk about the matter, "The day after tomorrow I want to talk to Xue Li about the project, what is his attitude now? of?"
Speaking of digging pits for Xue Li, Shu Zimu's attitude soon became more natural. "He was still very cautious. He didn't tell me directly that he wanted the project, but I have inquired about the situation many times. Interested. And he also asked me, why are you willing to give up that project. I think he is obviously very emotional, but there is also a little worry that there will be pitfalls, I have not fully believed."
Qi Yan nodded, "My tone can be tighter the day after tomorrow, let's hang him for a while."
After Qi Yan sent Shu Zimu to the Xue family, he almost couldn't wait to say goodbye to the house for the first time, and immediately frowned. Thinking that Shu Zimu was just going out with Xu Lan and came back, something went wrong. Qi Yan called Xu Chi.
"Ask Xu Lan, did anything happen when Zi Mu and him went out?"
"Ah?" Xu Chi froze for a moment, and said why don't you call Xu Lan directly, but still promised: "Okay, I'll ask you."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chi also frowned. He didn't think about it before. Now Qi Yan asks this question, Xu Chi thought of his cousin's thoughts, and felt a little troublesome. Xu Lan and them had known each other for nearly ten years, and they often got together again. They should be friends for many years. Qi Yan only asked him to call Xu Lan even if he asked him. Xu Chi didn't feel Qi Yan cold, but just felt that his cousin could not let go. Since they all know that the other party doesn't mean that, why do they have to hang on a tree for ten years? And because he was afraid of rejection, he didn't even have the courage to speak up.
Xu Chi couldn't help sighing while dialing Xu Lan's phone. He sighed and thought of another brother's thoughts for many years. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said that they were really a mess. But now Qi Yan sees that he is about to withdraw completely. I don't know if the other two might even count on the red line.
"Brother? Is there anything?" Xu Lan asked when the phone was connected.
Xu Chi hesitated for a while, or said truthfully: "Ayan asked me to ask you, what happened when you went out with your sister-in-law today?"
Xu Lan's breath suffocated and he didn't speak for a long time.
Xu Chi knew that he felt uncomfortable. People who had been in secret for many years turned around and asked him about the marriage partner, and it was inevitable that anyone would feel uncomfortable, but Xu Chi felt that Xu Lan could take this to thoroughly understand the reality. After all, long pain is worse than short pain.
However, in fact, Xu Lan's reason for silence was more guilty than Xu Chi thought. He didn't expect Qi Yan to be so thorough about Shu Zimu's anomaly, and quickly confirmed that the problem occurred during the time he went out with him. After all, getting along for nearly ten years, Xu Lan has always felt that Qi Yan is a cold and indifferent person. He always thought that Qi Yan was about to marry because of forced marriage at home. He thought that Qi Yan would not care about Shu Zimu, the marriage partner. He thought that Shu Zimu's status in Qi Yan's heart should be far inferior to himself. After all, they were considered to be together. Growing up, but Shu Zimu only met a snob who hadn't taken a few days and used himself to climb the Qi family. In addition to his appearance, Xu Lan felt that he was stronger than Shu Zimu.
For years in secret, Xu Lan never dared to confess his confession, because he knew that Qi Yan didn't feel that way about himself, and he didn't even choose to try it with himself because of forced marriage at home. But Xu Lan felt that it was not because of lack of charm, but that Qi Yan didn't understand it. As long as Qi Yan has been single, he can stay with him as a close friend. When Qi Yan becomes conscious, he will be the first to settle in the other's love world. So for Shu Zimu, Xu Lan did not worry much. He felt that with Qi Yan's character, they wouldn't have any substantive things, and divorce was a matter of time.
But even without worrying, Xu Lan was still very jealous of the other party's ability to bear the title "Qi Yan's partner", so he couldn't help but want to find some trouble for Shu Zimu. The so-called "Qi Yan said that there are people you like", in fact, he lied to Shu Zimu. Xu Lan just wanted Shu Zimu to think that he was a third party, and that "authentic lover", he thought he would be one day.
Xu Lan dare to make such a misleading, because he sees that Yi Shumu's character will not directly ask Qi Yan whether it is true or false, and Qi Yan will not pursue it, so he can be so brazen. However, unexpectedly, Shu Zimu didn't seem to say anything, but Qi Yan asked directly!
He saw the character of Shu Zimu who had just met, but he didn't bet on the reaction of those who had been secretly in love for nearly a decade. Qi Yan actually paid so much attention to that Shu Zimu!
Xu Lan was jealous and guilty. He remained silent for a long time. After Xu Chi asked him again, he said, "Nothing happened... I told him a few things about us. I Thinking he should really want to know what happened to Brother Yan... Am I doing something bad with good intentions?"
Xu Chi paused and said, "Isn't it good to do bad things? When I haven't seen you talk about Qi Yan's things?" Renzheng boyfriend listens to how you might be happy.
Xu Chi did not expect Xu Lan to be intentional, only when he was so unconscious, he sighed and said: "It's okay, you should pay attention to it later, I will tell A Yan, there should be no problem, just explain clearly. "He said, comforting Xu Lan again," don't think too much, Ayan treats us all as buddies, but the daughter-in-law is still different from the buddy after all. Ayan's previous things are still kept by himself Tell your sister-in-law, let's not get involved."
The meaning inside and outside of Xu Chi's words was to let Xu Lan completely give up on realizing the reality. He didn't know that Xu Lan didn't feel comforted after listening to it for a while, but instead he felt even more stern. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but be angry and said: "It's obviously my brother, even if I don't do me a favor, I'm still pulling my hind legs now!"
Xu Lan threw the phone on the bed and took a deep breath. His answer to Xu Chi was half-covered and half-covered. Anyway, even if he confronted Shu Zimu, it was definitely not wrong. After all, he did say what they had done before. If I remember it wrong, I can still be confused.
However, this incident still brought Xu Lan an unprecedented sense of crisis. He originally only thought that Shu Zimu was an insignificant marriage object, but at this time, there was a kind of bad hunch: As long as Shu Zimu is still there, Qi Yan may always be Will not look at him more.
