"Hn-hmm, " He Shen went along with it, "This must be so hard on Master Qiao."
Qiao Shao: "Hehe!"
He dared to continue admitting it because he knew He Shen didn't believe him.
He Shen couldn't help teasing him again, "It seems that I have been remiss in making you stay in my humble abode."
Qiao Shao said, "This place is pretty good. Besides, things like these don't matter between friends."
The smiling expression in He Shen's eyes turned deeper."I don't know how the young master of the Qiao family got himself so thin and small. Did you find the delicacies from land and sea so unpalatable?"
Qiao Shao knew that he was laughing at him, but he answered truthfully."They didn't taste good."
He Shen asked, "It seems that the young master prefers homely fare?"
"What's wrong with that?" Qiao Shao said, "Homely fare is very genuine."
"If that's the case, " He Shen said."Then I won't take you to eat barbecue for lunch tomorrow. Let's just stay home and eat mustard greens with steamed buns."
Ever since Qiao Shao came to East High, he has become a meat-loving maniac. When he heard that he wouldn't be able to eat barbecue, it felt as though he had missed out on a hundred million yuan. Ah no, even missing out on a hundred million yuan didn't feel this disappointing.
He Shen laughed unrestrainedly. He rubbed his small head and said, "Fine. We'll still go to eat barbecue. After all, to the young master of the Qiao family, barbecue is probably still considered as homely fare."
Qiao Shao lost a bit of confidence."That goes without saying!"
He had discovered long ago that as long as he ate with He Shen, everything tasted delicious, especially meat!
The two spoke for a while, revealing some big truths. He Shen looked at the time and said, "It's past eleven o'clock, go to sleep."
Qiao Shao really wasn't sleepy, he looked curiously at the computer screen."Are you going to stay up all night?"
He Shen said, "No, this one is just about done. The one I just accepted still needs some copywriting and preparatory work from the artist. So, I haven't got anything too urgent."
Qiao Shao didn't understand but he was very curious."I can't sleep. I'll watch you work for a while."
He Shen said, "I'll be busy and you might get bored."
"It's better if it's boring, " Qiao Shao said, "That way, I can go to sleep."
He Shen really hasn't experienced having anyone accompany him before. There was a moment that he felt moved."That's good then. If you feel tired than just go to sleep."
Qiao Shao pulled over a chair and said, "Hurry up. Stop wasting time."
Qiao Shao was reflected on the black spaces on the computer screen. The little guy's small hands grabbed onto the back of the chair, his chin rested between them, his expression full of curiosity. The way he looked make people want to turn around and pinch him.
He Shen tapped on the keyboard to bring the screen to life.
He mustn't look. If he looked again, he'll really won't feel up to working.
Qiao Shao already knew that He Shen was amazing. But in just a few short minutes, this realization was refreshed and brought to new heights.
Really, really, really amazing!
While their peers were still using their computers to play games and watch videos, he was already using it to make money! While their peers needn't worry about having a roof over their heads and were going sparse about their grades, he was already doing better than most adults!
At first Qiao Shao stared at the computer. Once he was sure that he couldn't understand a lick of it, he turned to look at He Shen.
&#k2014;&#k2014;A focused man is truly handsome.
At school, the coursework must be too simple, so He Shen was always spiritless, unable to muster any interest. But the work in front of him clearly needed his full attention. His concentrated manner as he did his work, left only a single word in people's minds &#k2014; handsome!
Really handsome!
Qiao Shao realized that he was staring at He Shen and he quickly retracted his gaze. Although He Shen didn't mind, it was too impolite to stare at people like this.
Qiao Shao looked at the screen again, but he couldn't keep his eyes from drifting towards He Shen.
No... This is not good!
Qiao Shao decided to go back to bed and try to sleep. He didn't want to disturb He Shen, so he got up lightly, not even daring to move the chair. Walking gingerly, he left the room. Fortunately, the study door was half-open, and Qiao Shao slipped through sideways.
He Shen noticed when he got up. He deliberately pretended not to know though and watched from the screen reflection as he slipped away like a little kitten.
How is it possible for there be such an adorable person?
He Shen was now distracted. He looked at the row of error prompts on his screen and shook his head.
He minimized the window and opened the Baidu webpage-
Qiao Zongmin. This was a name that reverberated like thunder.
There was no actual richest man in China, but this Mr. Qiao was definitely among the very top.
Qiao Zongmin's father, Qiao Ruan, was a legend in his own right. Then, Qiao Zongmin married the communications giant at that time. Afterwards, it was all smooth sailing and his businesses skyrocketed.
He Shen opened Qiao Zongmin's photo. The man in the suit cut a very reserved image. Those black eyes could penetrate people's hearts even from across the screen. He Shen had once seen him from afar. In the flesh, the man's aura was more formidable and dangerous than in the photos.
Is he Qiao Shao's father?
If so, then father and son were really nothing alike.
He Shen smiled. The little child should have at least found a more reasonable lie.
Besides, Qiao Zongmin's son...
Although He Shen had never seen him, or even knew what his name was, he had heard his family talk about what happened then.
That child...
It seemed impossible that the child would be able to interact with people normally.
He Shen lightly breathed out, shut down Qiao Zongmin's Baidu Encyclopedia, and focused on his work.
Every family goes through its own problems, and he has no better in that respect.
Shen Yuan Da Sha.
Qiao Zongmin answered the phone."Xiao Shao was not injured."
The man on the other side of the phone whispered, "No, Master Xiao fought back quickly."
Qiao Zongmin said, "You haven't been exposed."
"No, we just called the security officers. There's a young man with good skills who was with Master Xiao."
"Oh, it's that seatmate of his."
"Yes. President Qiao, do we need to investigate this boy?"
Qiao Zongmin paused and shook his head."No."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Zongmin again said, "Don't go near his school, don't approach Xiao Shao's classmates. You just need to give him a safe environment."
"I understand."
Qiao Zongmin hung up and dialed another number.
The man on the other end of the phone always seemed to be in peaceful environment, giving his voice a soothing and reassuring quality even through the phone.
Qiao Zongmin said, "Dr. Zhang, today, Xiao Shao..."
He told him what happened at the ice rink. Although Qiao Zongmin wasn't there, he described the whole incident in great detail.
Zhang Guanting said, "This is very good. I hope that President Qiao will not interfere in any way. What Qiao Shao needs most is his own strength."
Qiao Zongmin said, "I know."
Zhang Guanting also said, "Please try to let go, your over-protectiveness is a new pressure for him."
Qiao Zongmin said hoarsely, "Yes."
At four in the morning, He Shen was finally done.
He sent a message to Lou Xiao, asking him send something for Qiao Shao to eat once he wakes up.
He returned to the bedroom and once again saw Qiao Shao wearing headphones to sleep. He was just thinking off taking them off for him when he remembered the last time Qiao Shao awakened from his dream...
En, this child seems to have some problems sleeping.
He Shen slipped into bed, carefully placed him in his arms, and then took off his headphones.
Qiao Shao's body trembled lightly.
He Shen patted him gently, and said warmly, "Sleep, it's still early."
Qiao Shao's taut body slowly relaxed. Under the weak morning light, he looked like a sleeping angel.
He Shen used to be disdainful of descriptions like these, but now looking at his tender white face, curled eyelashes, small nose and light-colored lips, He Shen felt that there actually might be angels in this world.
He Shen's thin lips ticked up in a smile and he fell asleep on his side.
The two people huddled close together and their breaths gradually matched up.
When Qiao Shao woke up, he saw a handsome face very close to his.
Ok......
Handsome is handsome is handsome, but...
Did he have to treat him like a pillow! Holding on so tightly! Are you planning to suffocate me to death!
Qiao Shao struggled, He Shen was still groggy from sleep and groaned, "Don't move."
'Don't move' my ass! He was almost crushed to death! Does He Shen had no idea how tall and heavy he is!
Qiao Shao pushed him hard, He Shen opened his eyes.
Qiao Shao stared at him."Let go."
He Shen closed his eyes again.
Qiao Shao knew that he must have slept late, and he felt both angry and amused, "Hey, I have to do my homework. You can sleep by yourself."
He Shen mumbled, "Together."
Qiao Shao looked at the time—eight o'clock. It's already so late!
He'd been out playing yesterday. If he doesn't do his homework today, what would he do when he has to return to school? He Shen didn't have to hand in his homework, but he could only wish that he could do twice the amount!
At this time, the doorbell rang. Qiao Shao quickly said, "Someone at the door. I'll go see who it is."
He Shen remembered something and he finally let go.
Qiao Shao quickly got out of bed and kicked on his slippers to open the door.
The school tyrant who stood outside the door, had no intention of ever using his keys again. He just woke up from a hangover and didn't want to see anything weird so early in the morning.
Then......
Qiao Shao was astonished."Lou Xiao?"
Lou Xiao looked down, seeing his messy hair and messy collar. His entire look spelled out "friend's wife" who'd been taken advantage off.
Lou Xiao: "........................"
Can this pair of husbands please have a little more self-awareness!
The author has something to say:
School tyrant: My life's so hard.
