Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

A Cantonese restaurant in Beijing.

Although Qi Ming is not a Beijing native, he also goes to school in Beijing, so naturally he has to host a meal and invite his childhood sweetheart Yaoyao, his ex-girlfriend Xiangxiang, his childhood sweetheart's boyfriend, and his ex-girlfriend's younger brother to have dinner together.

He is not a man who is short of money. After all, he is a wealthy man in Shanghai. His father is very ambitious and has opened a big restaurant. Even though there has been an impact of the economic crisis in the past two years, the business is still good and he has made a lot of money.

Unfortunately, he is quite stupid in the book, holding on to silly ideas like revenge would be like being treated like Lao Mi. As a result, the two girls he loved most in his life chose to commit suicide one after another because of Lao Mi, and he himself closed the doors and windows in the dark, turned on the gas, and did not enjoy the fruits of his father's hard work.

Things are different now. Although the girls he loves most are with Brother Tao, he doesn't have to blame himself so much that he commits suicide. His parents don't have to see their children die and experience the greatest pain in life.

So Brother Tao has made a great contribution. He captured Yaoyao and Xiangxiang, and dealt with Lao Mi. It was a great deed.

If he were to go to the ancient world, it would be unreasonable not to allow him to become a saint right away.

After standing up and finishing his glass, Chen Tao sat back down and ate a piece of white-cut chicken, which tasted OK. Then he asked Qi Ming, "It's been a year, and you still don't have a girlfriend?"

Qi Ming secretly glanced at his ex-girlfriend who seemed to be three times prettier, and said with a smile:

"After I graduate, I still have to go back to Shanghai to develop my career. I don't think I can keep a girlfriend in Beijing for long."

Yi Yao was too lazy to beat around the bush with her childhood sweetheart, and immediately snorted: "What do you mean by development or not? It's obvious that he is still interested in Xiangxiang and wants to pursue her!"

Qi Ming laughed dryly and said, "Yaoyao, that's not what I meant."

Yi Yao pressed, "Then what do you mean?"

Qi Ming suddenly felt embarrassed.

Of course he wanted to get his ex-girlfriend back, but he had put his ex-girlfriend in extreme danger because he had attracted the attention of Lao Mi. This was a huge failure for him as a boyfriend, so he did not dare to express his feelings directly.

Gu Senxi was also present. Could he accept Qi Ming as his brother-in-law? He would rather let his sister follow Brother Tao without any status than let his sister date Qi Ming again!

This is certainly not because he can pursue Yi Yao after his sister snatched Brother Tao away;
It is definitely not because Brother Tao promised to give him a Carrera that he likes this richer brother-in-law more.

It was just because he didn't want to see his sister in danger again.

Because of what Lao Mi did, he and his parents still feel scared when they talk about it.

If Brother Tao had not been there that day, his sister would have certainly suffered a terrible insult and might even have lost the confidence to live.

Therefore, Qi Ming and those men with weak personalities would never become the son-in-law that Gu's family wanted. Only someone like Brother Tao, who dared to stand up and had enough ability to protect Xiangxiang, was the best candidate.

Personalities need to complement each other. Gu Senxiang is gentle enough, and she needs the strong and overbearing Brother Tao to stand up for her, rather than some sublime warm male protagonist.

Not even Chen Tao.

Even if it is the original Li Zhe, as long as he changes his philandering nature, he will still be an excellent candidate.

After all, he had fought for Yi Yao and stood up for her. And he was not like Xi Cheng, who stood up for Nan Xiang but beat her up, forced her to pay, and raped Gu Li.

Li Zhe never hits Yi Yao.

Otherwise, why would Yi Yao only care about beating that girl? She is a soft girl, but her character is not weak. If Li Zhe hits her, she will not only fight back, but also break up decisively.

If it was Brother Tao who beat her, she would be more tolerant than Nan Xiang. After all, compared with her current love for Brother Tao, Nan Xiang's love for Xi Cheng was nothing. Only death could make her leave Brother Tao.

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Chen Tao said calmly, "What kind of vinegar does this restaurant use? It's too sour."

"I'm not jealous!"

Yi Yao said angrily, then looked at her childhood sweetheart and asked:
"Is it so difficult for you to say that you like me? What did you say when you were dating Xiangxiang before? It's not enough to just give. Love must be expressed, even if the other party doesn't accept it and there will be no result!"

Qi Ming nodded and said solemnly:

"Yaoyao, you are right. I liked you before, but I didn't dare to express my feelings because of those concerns. I failed your love. This is all my fault. I didn't recognize Tang Xiaomi's true face, which caused great harm to you and Xiangxiang. It was also my fault. I really love you. We grew up together, went to school and went home together, and our feelings were so deep, but we missed each other in the end. This is my regret, but also your luck to meet the right person."

Then he said to Gu Senxiang: "No matter how much I say, there is no way to express my apology to you. I really want to make it up to you, but I also know that I am not qualified. I just want to tell you that although the time was short, being your boyfriend during that time is the most beautiful memory in my life."

Gu Senxi held back his laughter and looked specifically at Brother Tao.

Tao pretended to be confused and said, "What have you seen me do? You little virgin, why don't you take this opportunity to learn a few tricks from Qi Ming?"

Gu Senxi snorted, "I won't learn from him! My sister said that she hasn't even let him touch her hand, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, so isn't he a virgin? What should I learn from him? Sweet talk?"

Qi Ming said with difficulty: "I am speaking from the heart!"

Yi Yao snorted, "We haven't even touched hands, how can you say it's the best memory? Come to think of it, when you were with me, your mom was unhappy and always wanted to get on with you, how could this memory be good? It was only unbearable. It's different with Xiangxiang. We went to class together and worked together to win competition awards. Although the time was short, our feelings grew deeper and deeper. The aftertaste is long. I still can't forget it. You want to get back together and have a long-distance relationship, right?"

Gu Senxiang retorted: "So deep that we never held hands? Maybe Qi Ming took this relationship seriously, but I was just curious about the feeling of being in love. I didn't take it seriously, and I don't have any memories. And that incident was all Tang Xiaomi's fault. It had nothing to do with him. I never blamed him from the beginning to the end."

Qi Ming felt like he was being publicly executed.

As a good friend, Brother Tao must help him out:
"Yaoyao, don't bring up the past! Qi Ming is so good to you, the only thing missing is a confession. He has done the best he can. Don't be too harsh on him, no one is perfect. Not everyone can be like Xixi, who is willing to be your bootlicker even if you don't like him."

This was to help Qi Ming out, but did he accidentally hurt Gu Senxi? No.

Yi Yao said coquettishly: "You should also learn from Xixi, be obedient, be my licking dog for the rest of your life, love me forever, and never be someone else's dog again!"

Being a dog is not a good thing.

But Gu Senxi was not annoyed. What's wrong with being Yaoyao's dog? It would be better if Brother Tao and Qi Ming didn't want to be one! In this way, he would be the only one who loved Yaoyao forever, and he would have a special place in Yaoyao's heart.

After seeing this, Gu Senxiang really wanted to punch his stupid brother, knock him out of the atmosphere, and send him to the cold outer space to wake up his brain!
Brother Tao was deliberately jealous: "You still miss Qi Ming in your heart. You reacted so strongly when you heard that he wanted to get back together with Xiang Xiang. How can you let me be your lickspittle? I won't do that! I will be Xiang Xiang's lickspittle! She is beautiful and kind, and she doesn't love Qi Ming that much, so she is perfect. Xixi, do you support me?"

Without waiting for her good brother to express his opinion, Xiangxiang burst out laughing and said:
"It's settled now, you can't regret it!"

Yaoyao bared her teeth and said, "I didn't think about Qi Ming! You actually like Xiang Xiang and want to be her licker? This really piss me off, quickly stretch your hand over here, let me bite you a few times!"

Qi Ming didn't understand what was going on and thought they were joking, so he laughed along with them.

Gu Senxi secretly complained: "You are still laughing! Your childhood sweetheart, your former girlfriend, are all someone else's!"

Gu Senxiang refused to admit that she had nothing to do with Brother Tao.

One evening on the cruise ship, he saw with his own eyes that Brother Tao hugged his sister tightly from behind, standing facing the sea breeze, just like Jack and Rose, clearly having an affair!

His favorite Yaoyao was also there at the time. Not only did she not make a noise, but she took pictures of them. It was really destructive. Now these three people with a complicated yet simple relationship are teasing Qi Ming again. It's really bad!
However, despite this, he would not remind Qi Ming.

It's really embarrassing to say, but he really hopes that his sister can take Brother Tao away, so that he will have a chance to get what he wants.

After dinner, Chen Tao and his friends went shopping, went singing, and returned home at five in the morning. Don't be surprised, it's home.

After all, Brother Tao also has an apartment near the Financial Street, which is more than 300 square meters. Although it is simply decorated, it is fully furnished. This morning, he also hired a cleaning lady to clean the house and wash and dry the quilts, so it is quite comfortable to live in.

Qi Ming had a new understanding of Brother Tao's arrogance, but Gu Senxi had long been numb to it.

The Carrera that my brother-in-law wanted to deliver had already been ordered.

School starts next month, and he will have to squeeze out time on the weekends to learn how to drive.

His sister obviously didn't want his parents to know about her affairs, so she didn't allow him to tell the truth. He could only say that the car was given to him by his sister.

She even threatened him to keep it a secret, otherwise she would no longer support him in being Yaoyao's lapdog and would not let him see Yaoyao again.

This is outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that he was actually controlled, which made his good sister so angry that she had a headache all night. She was almost about to give in and let Brother Tao take him out for fun, but fortunately she didn't agree at the last minute.

It's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things.

How rare is it for a prodigal son to return? Gu Senxiang would never open this door easily.

There is nothing wrong with liking Yaoyao, as long as he is willing to find a serious partner, start a family and build a career, I can still be her good brother.

But if you let your heart run wild and ruin your body, causing a lot of trouble and making your family restless, then the gain will outweigh the loss. You can't lose the big picture for the small.

She is the eldest sister who is like a mother to her, and she and her younger brother were born in the same womb. Naturally, she hopes that her younger brother can have a happy, peaceful and happy life. Therefore, she supports him to become a teacher, and live a stable life by the side of his parents.

Being able to be a teacher, especially a university teacher, is already very good. It does not necessarily mean being as promising as his brother-in-law.

On the evening of the 8th, the fireworks were brilliant.

The land of China, which suffered a disaster in May, is welcoming a grand event tonight.

The rapid development in the next decade will be unbelievable.

After the opening ceremony, Chen Tao and his friends stayed in Beijing for two more days before returning to the Magic City together.

Qi Ming also returned to Shanghai. After all, it was still early before school started, and he had to go back to be with Li Wanxin who missed him.

Now in that alley, their two families have become legends.

Sometimes someone would point to their two neighboring houses, talk about the past, and express envy and jealousy.

They are all good neighbors!
The evening of the 12th.

Brother Tao fulfilled his promise and went on a trip to the island country with his Lixia.

Xiao Si's good friend Lu Zhiang is hanging out at Waseda University in Tokyo. Chen Tao wants to go and see him, but Lixia disagrees.

It’s not that she was afraid of being seen by Lu Zhiang and telling Xiao Si, exposing the fact that she followed Brother Tao without a formal status, but she really didn’t want to see anyone related to Xiao Si.

Cheng Qiqi looked for her often and tried to chat with her on QQ every week, but her response was always "hehe" or something like that, showing her cold attitude.

Cheng Qiqi felt very aggrieved, thinking that Xiaosi still loved Lixia and ignored her feelings as his official girlfriend.

This is actually not surprising. After all, things that are too easy to get are often difficult to get the attention they deserve.

Unlike in the book, Xiao Si has never experienced the Beginning of Summer, which inevitably causes him great regret, and gradually becomes a knot in his heart.

And what about her? She was the main reason for this knot in his heart. Whenever Xiao Si thought of Li Xia, he would naturally not treat her well.

There's no need to do anything. Just pretend to be indifferent and use cold violence, and Cheng Qiqi will be unable to hold it.

She was also a dog, how could she feel good when her master treated her so perfunctorily? However, Lixia could not be blamed.

After all, Lixia really didn't give Xiaosi any chance at all. She was already her best friend for life, so what else did she want?

So she went to Lixia just to complain.

It’s hard to be a bootlicker!

***
On the 21st, Chen Tao and Lixia returned to the Magic City.

Several universities conduct military training before entering the sophomore year.

Chen Tao and Gu Senxiang must report to the school before the 25th, and then undergo a total of ten days of training from the 26th to the 4th of next month.

Of course Chen Tao was not willing to stand in the hot weather, but with Xiangxiang as his companion, it was okay to have some fun.

And it’s really fun. Singing songs is quite entertaining.

Unfortunately, you can't just play it casually. For example, the restricted folk songs that Brother Tao likes to listen to can't be sung in public.

The song "Mountain Songs Are Like Spring River Water" that Yaoyao is good at singing is too elegant, so elegant that it sounds boring in this hot weather, and is far inferior to the vulgar singing style of the cousins!
Of course, people are afraid of comparison.

It's good to be able to listen to serious songs, but for example, Clown No. 1 Gu Li can only listen to sad music that makes her painful recently.

Three days ago, on August 18, her birthday, her father, whom she had urged to come back for the birthday party, was following a truck on the elevated road when a steel bar that had not been properly tied pierced his eye. He fell to the ground as if death had come.

At this time, she thought that the signal on her father's side was bad, so she wanted to wait a while before talking to her father.

But when she heard news about her father again, it was something like "Zhongba Ge, your mother is dead."

The morning of the 22nd.

Brother Tao leaned on the sofa, took a sip of the Longjing tea he had just brewed, and comforted his friend on the other end of the phone:

"Your father died quite suddenly. In addition to your condolences, you also have to pay attention to the property your father left behind. Do you need help? Of course it's not free." (End of this chapter)
