Bamboo horse has been deliberate for a long time

Chapter 86
"Beep-beep-beep-" After three rings, a familiar voice came from the receiver.

"Old Qi, why are you calling me at this hour? I just finished class, you have to call a little earlier, I can't answer it yet."

Hearing An Yonglin's cheerful voice, the question that had been brewing for a long time suddenly blocked his throat.

Qi Yunren's fingers clenched the edge of the table, "Didn't I miss you? I just wanted to call you to ask about your recent situation."

An Yonglin at the other end was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Success, wait for you to have time later, we brothers will go have a meal."

"Hmm... OK..." He spoke very slowly, as if he was restless, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to draw out the words he was holding in his heart.

After all, An Yonglin is a teacher who has been practicing for many years. In terms of observing words and expressions, he is not only a master, but also one of the best.

"Old Qi, you came to me today because you have something to talk about? Is there anything we can't say about our relationship? It would be boring to hide it."

The calmer An Yonglin was, the more unhappy Qi Yunren felt.

"It's not a big deal..." He suddenly felt a little regretful that he had called so impulsively, because he was so pissed off by the matter of Qi Can and An Yuecheng.

How can this kind of thing be put on the table?
It seems that he is too small-minded, and he still cares about the juniors.

An Yonglin was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, the smile in his voice had faded: "Is it about the two children?"

As a professor at the Imperial University, even if he didn't pay attention deliberately, some news would come to him by himself.

For example, the scandal between Qi Can and An Yuecheng.

It's just that he always felt that it was the children's own business. As an elder, he shouldn't question and interfere too much.

Until Qi Yunren said those words when the two families got together.

"Lao An, you know that my environment is different from yours, and many things are beyond my control." Qi Yunren's words were dry.

"I know." An Yonglin didn't have any particularly big reaction, but he wasn't as happy as before.

For a split second he felt that he no longer knew the man he was on the phone with.

Or maybe, never knew.

Qi Yunren breathed a sigh of relief, "Then do you know what is the relationship between the two of them now? Both Chengcheng and Qi Can often live with you, you should understand, right?"

The black cloth was lifted, and the hidden plans were exposed to the sun.

"Their relationship has been like this since they were young. I don't think it's any different now." An Yonglin naturally thought of the hug scene he saw unexpectedly in the ward that day.

It's okay to explain that siblings depend on each other, but it's obviously not.

But after careful study, it seems that there is no difference from the past so many years.

"Lao An, you may not know." Qi Yunren chose his words carefully, but his tone did not hide his eagerness, "Photos have been posted on the Internet, and on the day we had dinner, they were still hugging each other."

Not at all graceful.

It doesn't sound good either.

"Really?" An Yonglin's voice cooled down, "I didn't know that you, Lao Qi, still have a hobby of gossip."

His words poured down like a basin of cold water, Qi Yunren's mind instantly calmed down a lot, and he also realized that his words were inappropriate.

He coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment, "I'm not saying that, if Chengcheng really likes Qi Can, it's a good thing, but no matter what, she shouldn't lie to us, right? Me too Isn't it the kind of parent who doesn't understand people and likes to forcefully break up lovers."

"..." An Yonglin didn't answer for a while.

At this moment, he felt that he had finally seen the true face of this old friend.

The words are high-sounding, but the actual behavior has no scruples about image and face.

Where does he look like an elder?

"Old An, it's really bad to lie, I said—" Qi Yunren said again to himself, but was quickly interrupted by An Yonglin.

"I understand what you mean. I know this matter well. I will go to find out about the situation later. Let's stop here first. I have a class later." He spoke quickly and pronounced clearly Simply, after a frantic bombardment, he hung up the phone.

Qi Yunren opened his mouth halfway, and before he could say a word, the phone was disconnected.

He stared at the phone screen for a long time with a complicated expression, unable to say what he was feeling.

It was the first time that An Yonglin hung up the phone mercilessly.

An Yonglin has a good temper, they were always kind in the past.

Maybe what happened today really annoyed him.

……

When it was time to get off work, An Yuecheng fiddled with the phone, deleted and typed the content in the dialog box, typed and deleted, and finally gathered one sentence——

"I want to eat hot pot tonight, I invite you, will you come?"

It doesn't feel like a problem, so it shouldn't be surprising.She repeated the silent reading several times, and it was fluent and normal, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After pressing the send button, the time on the computer changed to "17:00".

"Happy off work!" someone whispered.

The staff all got up to pack their things, but their peripheral vision drifted towards An Yuecheng from time to time, probably because they felt that the melons were not enough.

There are also those who are indifferent and go straight out of the office after get off work, but there are fewer of them.

Among them, the gaze from Zhou Peipei is the hottest and cannot be ignored.

An Yuecheng raised her eyes slowly, and turned away from Zhou Peipei's eyes in panic, with her head hanging down like a quail.

Not surprising, but also understandable.

It is the instinct of many people to avoid disputes and noise, escape from places that may cause fights and quarrels, and prevent being involved in right and wrong.

She has no right to ask others to maintain the same trust in herself as before.

Slowly looking away, An Yuecheng packed the paper materials that needed to be taken home into the bag, and after careful checking, he put on the bag and walked out of the office.

Almost the second she stepped out, the rest of the office started whispering.

"How can she be so calm, as if nothing happened!"

"Hey, if you can do this, you won't have a thin skin, so naturally you don't care."

"It was the first time I joined the job, and I agreed with Mr. Du's vision of people."

"Hahaha, me too, who would have thought that a student from the Imperial College would be like this?"

The discussion broke into my ears one after another, Zhou Peipei couldn't help clenching her fingers, and looked at the figure that had disappeared in the corridor.

She gritted her teeth, put on her bag and trotted out the door.

"An Yuecheng!" An Yuecheng had only taken two steps out of the door of the company building when the call suddenly sounded from behind.

She stopped and turned her head to look at Zhou Peipei. The girl bent over, panting and holding on to her knees, and came sprinting.

"Why are you running in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?" An Yuecheng took half a step forward and patted her on the back, "You can also call me."

Zhou Peipei stared at her, An Yuecheng was right, but she didn't know why she was so anxious...
