Chapter 20 Complex Relationships

"If you don't like it, it's difficult to develop our feelings. How many friends will really think about the future in their lifetime? That's what lovers do." Qian Taiduo said lightly.

Cat Qi was silent for a moment and nodded: "It seems to make sense, so we are lovers? No, if I'm a lover, I should think about you every day. In fact, although my heart is warm every time I think of you, I don't think about it every day. I just think about it occasionally. What a strange feeling..."

"Of course, it's not a lover. How to say? That is, we all found each other's good, but because we are too familiar with each other, and dare not finally come together. Then, there are various external factors that suppress our feelings - such as the gap in status, so that this relationship has been at the lowest point without exploding, and at the same time, it will also be hidden. Transformation of feelings such as friendship and confidant, and then think about it carefully, you will find that this kind of feeling is a little strange. Well, it's probably like this. I'm talking nonsense.

Cat Qi smiled and narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon: "It's the first time I found that you are still an emotional expert, very professional. So, are we all poor people who are oppressed by the secular world and dare not fall in love vigorously? Let me see, what's good about you? You are so narcissistic that you think I will like you?

She put her hands on Qian Taiduo's cheek and tried to pinch a few funny expressions, causing everyone around her to look sideways. Then she pouted and said, "It's just a little handsome. There are a lot of men who are more handsome than you on the street, cut..."

Qian Taiduo can't laugh or cry. Four years after graduation, the girl is also 24 years old, and she looks like a child.

"This is not a question of whether they are handsome or not. If you look at their appearance, the leftover men and women in the world must be extremely ugly. At that time, if you think you are ugly and kill yourself directly, or you can go to the hospital for plastic surgery. Anyway, it won't cost much. At that time, the handsome men and beautiful women on the street will not even have a foil. What's the point? So, in the final analysis, it's because we have similar interests, haha, you can't deny this!"

"Is there a causal relationship? Is there a causal relationship? If you want to confuse me, I won't be fooled by you!" Mao Qi immediately mercilessly exposed Qian Taiduo's trick. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "I don't want to get engaged, ah, ah, there is too much money. Why don't you take me to elope?"

"Okay, but can you leave?"

"Well, you are really boring. I finally summoned up the courage and was suddenly dispersed by you." Mao Qi's shoulder collapsed and punched him a few times. "Really, I'm obviously a free and easy person, but I can't escape the shackles of my family. Alas, if you really can't avoid it, you can only get engaged first. Anyway, there are still two years to get married, and then you can find a way slowly. Anyway, I won't marry Zhou Zhengqi. That person is too possessive, arrogant and domineering. I hate it when I see him!"

Qian Taiduo shook his head with a smile: "At worst, you can elope again. I really don't know what your family does. How can it have anything to do with Fuyun Industry?

Cat Qi blinked: "Secret. Buddha said, don't say, don't say, especially for you can't say it.

"Hey, Buddha only said three words, how can it be so long..."

"That's what my Buddha said. What, do you have a problem?"

If you fight, it's still time to break up. On the way home alone, Qian Taiduo still thought about the conversation with Mao Qi. What is the relationship between them? Friendship? Love? Life and death?

Neither. It's too complicated to think through.

Cat Qi's family* is very deep. She can't break the shackles of the family, so when people at home asked her to get engaged to Zhou Zhengqi, even if she was reluctant, she could only frown and nodded. In fact, when Mao Qi said the word "eloping", he clearly felt the other party's intention, but then he was suppressed by her again. Perhaps only when she really waited until the wedding day would she have the courage to get rid of this invisible bondage...

I walked to the door in a trance. As soon as I opened the door and entered the room, suddenly a muscular arm came around from behind, tightened myself, and then put a touch of coldness on my neck. Someone behind me whispered, "Don't scream, or I will cut your neck!"

With some familiar voice, Qian Taiduo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who the other party was and said in shock, "Ao Long?"

"Too much money?" The person behind him was also stunned, and his hands were unnaturally released. Qian Taiduo turned around, looked at each other, and then asked at the same time, "Why are you here?" However, after asking, both of them figured out the reason why the other party appeared here and smiled awkwardly.

" Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water." Qian Taiduo greeted, and then walked around in the narrow space. It took him a long time to find two cups, wash them and pour a cup of hot water for Ao Long and himself.

The two sat down awkwardly and couldn't find anything to say for a moment. Qian Taiduo took a sip of water and said to himself, "He has been washed by me. He should not remember what I have done to him. He doesn't know my secret, he doesn't know..."

At the same time, Ao Long also thought about a similar question: "Deng Qiujie and I dealt with him like that that, and he was afraid of hating me to death. What should I do? Do you want to kill him, but we are classmates after all..."

Thinking about their own thoughts, they were silent for a moment, and finally Qian Taiduo said first, "Are you all right? I heard that you caused trouble, and now both black and white in Yidu are chasing you..."

Ao Long nodded unnaturally, holding the cup in one hand, but quietly touched the dagger at his waist with the other hand: "Yes, there is no way out. I have been hiding in the slums for a week. Those people are tracking them every day. Now the roads to the outside of Yidu are also blocked and they can't go out..."

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Ao's dragon head raised his head and asked, "What?"

"Nothing." Qian Taiduo coughed and remembered that in Ao Long's memory, he should not know the beginning and end of this matter. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Do you have any place to go now?"

"Where else can I go? If I offend the Zhou family, there is no place to settle down in Yidu. I can only find a way to leave the city and find another way out."

"Looking at the situation outside, I'm afraid this kind of search will last for a while. If you don't mind, you can hide with me for a while." Qian Taiduo thought for a moment and said so. Ao Long's end today is that he still started because he tampered with his memory. Speaking of it, the two have no deep hatred. At present, he is so embarrassed that he is a little unbearable.

Ao Long's eyes flashed and he was silent.

"Please, we are classmates from the same school after all. Although what happened last time was very unpleasant, you also worked for Zhou Zhengqi. After all, Zhou Zhengqi and I are two people on opposite sides. Now that you have fall out with him, what reason do I have to inform? It's too late to save you."

"Well...thank you very much." Ao Long nodded and touched the dagger's hand away. He was a little ashamed. He treated Qian Taiduo like that night, but the other party didn't care about the past. He was really a broad-minded person, but he still doubted the other party's intention, which was really a little ashamed.

Naturally, Qian Taiduo will not know Aolong's mentality at this moment, otherwise, he will not know how complicated his mood will be. However, since it was decided, Ao Long temporarily lived in this small room. Qian Taiduo turned out compressed biscuits and other stored food. The two probably dealt with it, and then found a place to sleep in a small space.

The next morning, Qian Taiduo went to the street to buy some food and hoard it. When he entered the door with something in his arms, he obviously felt that Ao Long held the dagger and hid behind the door. After all, he was a little worried about himself. Of course, maybe he has been constantly chased in the past few days and become a frightened bird.

After finishing this, Qian Taiduo went out again with the old suitcase.

Today is the day when his other job is delivered. Unlike Wu Guozhong's speculation, his job does not have an accurate delivery date. Sometimes it may be a month, sometimes two months, or 40 days, and the delivery place is also a temporary notice from the other party, which is different every time. This time, the location given by the other party is Alice Cafe in the center of the city.
