When Qin Xu heard his father's words, he could not help but be startled for a moment, lowering his eyes and asked: "You already know everything?"
Knowing that he also likes Chu Xiaoxiao …
If even his father could see it, then wouldn't that mean that his brother had also seen it?
If he did, how would the two brothers get along in the future?
All kinds of complicated questions poured into Qin Xu's mind at once. He couldn't help but become flustered, and even forgot to refute the words his father had just told Chu Xiaoxiao to seduce the two brothers.
Qin Yu had been observing his youngest son's reaction the entire time. Seeing his current state, he could not help but soften, sighing then softening his tone: "I was originally not too sure, but looking at your reaction just now, I am sure that you really like Chu Xiaoxiao too."
"Are you testing me?" Qin Xu let out a bitter laugh, but waited for him to react before saying, "Does that mean that you had no basis to deduce that you had just accused Chu Xiaoxiao and said that she was trying to seduce my brother and me?"
"I don't have any evidence." Qin Yu admitted it honestly.
"But," he continued, "from what I've heard from her before, I roughly know that she's a smart and astute girl. Normally, the three of you would often stay together, so most of Cheng Qi's focus would be on learning and learning, and he was a little slow on matters concerning emotions. It's fine that he couldn't find out that you like Chu Xiaoxiao, but doesn't Chu Xiaoxiao feel anything at all?
"If she had known earlier that you had a good impression of her and liked your brother, she would have kept her distance from you instead of eating and watching over you. Now that she has your brother, she wants to be closer to you."
Qin Xu did not interrupt him with patience, but just as Qin Yu finished speaking, he retorted loudly: "Father, I do not agree with what you said at all!
"Firstly, I liked Chu Xiaoxiao but I have never expressed it to her, so she might not know that I have feelings for her. Secondly, whether or not I like her is my own affair and has nothing to do with her.
The more Qin Xu spoke, the more excited he became, and his chest also violently heaved up and down, obviously because he was extremely angry. Finally, he said to his father in a dissatisfied tone, "You can dislike her, but please don't hurt a girl like this behind her back."
Qin Yu saw his youngest son's reaction, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Qin Xu's feelings for Chu Xiaoxiao were actually deeper than he had expected...
Qin Yu knew his youngest son's temper, so it was obvious that he would not listen to his son's advice. If he continued to argue with Qin Xu, it would only result in Qin Xu arguing with him, hurting their relationship.
Qin Yu paused for a moment, before choosing to show weakness first.
He said, "Since you insist on trusting Chu Xiaoxiao, then I won't say much. As for whether her nature is good or bad, it's something that we'll see in the future. I'm not an autocratic parent. If she's really as good as you say, I definitely won't stop her from marrying your brother. "
Qin Yu expressed his feelings and gave them a way to ease the tension.
Qin Xu also realized that he had overreacted and apologized to Qin Yu, "I'm sorry Daddy, I didn't mean to be angry at you, I just …"
As he said till here, his mind couldn't help but think of his brother's and Chu Xiaoxiao's confession in front of him yesterday. His heart trembled from the pain, and only now did he realize that he wasn't as carefree as he thought he was.
He bitterly smiled again and continued, "... I'm just not in a good mood. "
"I know." Qin Yu understood Qin Xu well, and did not have any intention of getting angry at him because of what happened just now.
But he paused and then said, "But I would like to know, do you resent your brother now?"
Qin Xu shook his head and said without hesitation, "I like Chu Xiaoxiao, my brother doesn't know anything, so how can I blame him?"
He did mind it, but he didn't resent his brother at all.
No one should complain about the whole thing. He could only blame himself for being sentimental.
After Qin Yu heard this, the knot between his eyebrows relaxed a little. He said, "That's good. You and your brother grew up together, so I don't want you to have a grudge because of a woman."
"That won't happen," Qin Xu promised. "No matter what happens between us, he will always be my blood brother."
Qin Yu nodded his head in satisfaction, then waved his hand towards his youngest son: "Okay, go rest, I will no longer interfere with the things between the three of you."
Qin Xu and his father's conversation was not very pleasant, and now that his father had allowed it, he stood up and walked towards the stairs that led to the second floor.
But after he climbed a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Qin Yu: "Father, about the matter of me applying to study abroad … I don't want to go abroad now. "
Qin Xu and his brother had applied for a foreign school at the same time as Chu Xiaoxiao, and in the end, the three of them had also applied for a school in the same city.
Originally, Qin Yu thought that the reason Qin Xu and Qin Chengqi chose the same city was so that the two brothers could look out for each other. But from the looks of it, the reason Qin Xu left the country to read his books was most likely because of Chu Xiaoxiao.
Now that Chu Xiaoxiao had become Qin Chengqi's girlfriend, before Qin Xu could put Chu Xiaoxiao down completely, it would only be awkward for the three of them to stay together.
Qin Yu nodded towards him in understanding.
"Then mother …" Qin Xu hesitated again.
His mother had always been very active in his studies abroad, and now that he had suddenly stopped going, she would definitely want to find out the reason why.
He continued, "I don't want her to know that I like Chu Xiaoxiao, so she won't worry."
Qin Yu said: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you, but you have to settle it yourself."
"I will." Qin Xu replied as he heaved a sigh of relief.
What he was afraid of was not that his mother would know that he liked Chu Xiaoxiao, but that his brother, Qin Chengqi, would know about it.
With his brother's personality, if he knew that he liked Chu Xiaoxiao, he would probably do the foolish thing of giving Chu Xiaoxiao to him. This would be harmful to the three of them, so they couldn't let their brother know what he was thinking.
After getting father's guarantee, Qin Xu finally calmed down.
He took a few steps upstairs and entered his room. Without taking off his shoes, he tiredly laid down on his bed.
When he closed his eyes, he once again thought of his father's evaluation of Chu Xiaoxiao. Qin Xu could not help but frown in dissatisfaction.
Chu Xiaoxiao was a very magnanimous person, every time she came into contact with him, she would also be very magnanimous.
Qin Xu trusted Chu Xiaoxiao's character a lot. Even though Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't belong to him, he still hoped that she and his brother would have a happy ending.
Qin Xu knew that right now, what he should do the most was to bless his big brother and Chu Xiaoxiao. However, logically speaking, it would be the same.
He turned over twice on the bed, but he was not sleepy at all.
His tiredness was mental, not physical, so although he felt tired, he could not sleep.
Just as Qin Xu was bored to death and tossing and turning, the phone in his pocket suddenly beeped twice.
He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone.
After unlocking the password, he found out that Ye ming Xin had added his WeChat to his WeChat account, and also asked him on WeChat if he had reached home yet.
Qin Xu was initially agitated, but seeing that it was not an urgent matter, he became impatient and replied Ye ming Xin.
But just as he was about to quit WeChat, he caught a glimpse of Ye ming Xin's WeChat picture.
Ye ming Xin's portrait was her own picture. The photo had been taken around dusk, and the surroundings were a little dark, only a ray of multicolored light was shining warmly on half of her face in the distance. If one ignored the eyes in the photo, the half of her face that was illuminated by the light looked exactly like Chu Xiaoxiao's.
Qin Xu's finger unconsciously moved towards Ye ming Xin's profile picture and lightly touched it.
In the end, he replied Ye ming Xin: "We're home."
Although it was only two words, it was enough to make Ye ming Xin's eyes light up.
She wanted to dig out more confidence to continue chatting with Qin Xu, so she sent a message to him again: "Are you really determined not to go abroad?"
Qin Xu quickly replied her: "Yes, I already told my father earlier."
After the message was sent successfully, Qin Xu quickly added: "However, this matter shouldn't be resolved so quickly. We still need to wait a while more before our relationship can be announced."
For Qin Xu, not going abroad to study was not difficult to solve, but right now, his father already knew that he liked Chu Xiaoxiao, if he let his father know that he was with Ye ming Xin again, as long as his father saw Ye ming Xin's appearance, he would definitely guess the reason behind this.
Therefore, now was not the time to let others know of Ye ming Xin's existence.
When Qin Xu sent the message to Ye ming Xin, he was worried that she would complain, but who knew that Ye ming Xin would only reply him with one sentence: "Isn't it just waiting a few more days? "I'll just wait for you."
At the end of the message, he added a proud and pampered face.
Qin Xu changed that expression onto Ye ming Xin's body, then suddenly thinking about the situation when he sent her back home, he couldn't help but to raise his lips.
Since he could not sleep now anyway, and was gradually having the mood to chat, he asked Ye ming Xin: "I forgot to ask you before, you should also be graduating from university now, right? "What's the next plan?"
But this time, even after Qin Xu sent the message out for a long time, there was no reply.
He frowned, thinking that Ye ming Xin might be busy, he closed his phone and threw it on the bedside.
But what he did not know was that Ye ming Xin was not busy at the moment, and was staring at the message he was sending, feeling conflicted.
She had indeed just graduated, but with the promise of a school, she had applied for a foreign school and planned to continue studying there. Originally, she had already settled on a passport to study abroad, but now that she had Qin Xu and Qin Xu said he wanted to go abroad …
