Chapter 71
Zhou Qi's heart warmed up, his eyes moved slightly, he nodded and said softly: "Thank you!"
His reaction was a tacit acknowledgement of the fact on the flyer, and the five people around him were slightly frightened. The two girls smiled in understanding, whispered, and went to eat.
Liu Yang poked Zhou Qi's arm and asked in a low voice, "Are you really with the person in the photo?"
Zhou Qi had no intention of hiding anything, so he nodded slightly and said, "Well, we have been together for a while."
Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and he asked curiously, "Really?" He really didn't see Zhou Qi's inclination in that direction. Usually in the dormitory, when everyone talked about which girl in school was pretty, he would occasionally chat with them, and every word he said was sharp. Except that Zhou Qi was older than them, he looked no different from them.
Zhou Qi drank the soup slowly and said calmly, "It is indeed true." He looked up at them, smiled, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief when he said it.
Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva, suddenly remembering the reckless play between him and Zhou Qi before, and when Zhou Qi was taking a shower, he even barged in to get something. He touched his ear awkwardly: "Well, I didn't tease you on purpose before, I didn't know you were gay at that time!"
"?" Zhou Qi was surprised at his roommate's train of thought and didn't understand what he was saying.
"I definitely didn't have any intention towards you in that way before." Xiao Yu hastily clarified. He was indeed more enthusiastic towards Zhou Qi than the other two people in the dormitory. He would always invite him to go with him when there was something going on, including club activities. What if he thought that he had any feelings for him before...
Zhou Qi: "..." He couldn't figure out where Xiao Yu came to this conclusion, "I already have a boyfriend." He pointed to the man with a clear profile in the picture, who looked very cool, "You can see it too, it's him."
Liu Yang sighed and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be the first person in our dormitory to get married!"
"..." Zhou Qi thought: I don't want to be single so early, but you guys are focusing on the wrong thing, one is worried that I have improper thoughts about him, and the other is jealous that I am single first...
"I'm already in my twenties, can't I have a partner? And my son is already in kindergarten, don't you know that?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I thought it was a child who didn't remember anything and called you randomly, but I didn't expect it to be your son." He had seen Wangwang at the beginning of the school year, but he didn't dare to believe it. Later, Zhou Qi told him about it, but he didn't take it seriously. Later, he went to Zhou's restaurant for dinner and didn't expect it to be the absolute truth.
Zhou Qi finished his soup and wiped his mouth: "I'm going to find out what it was made of."
Xiao Yu responded, "I just complained and asked the forum administrator to delete the post. But there are flyers everywhere in this school. I wonder who did it?"
Zhou Qi stood up and said, "I'll go ask them."
Xiao Yu and Liu Yang were very enthusiastic and followed and said, "Let's go together."
Zhou Qi glanced at Liang Qifeng sitting there and continuing to eat, and sighed in his heart. He was very fortunate that his two roommates could accept this fact. He could not demand that others understand unconditionally.
The person handing out the flyers was still there. Xiao Yu went up to randomly pick someone to ask, but unfortunately the person knew nothing and was just doing things for others in return for payment.
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and decided that he should talk to Du Zuhao directly. It was most likely him, so he decided to test the waters first.
The three of them collected all the flyers, and there were still a lot of them posted on the bulletin board. People around recognized Zhou Qi and pointed at him. Liu Yang and Xiao Yu went up to tear them up, but Zhou Qi stopped them and said, "Leave it there, they will be posted again after you tear them up."
Zhou Qi dragged the two of them around the corner, and Xiao Yu cursed and struggled, "These things are really human!"
Zhou Qi smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, this is all they can do."
He sincerely felt lucky to have such a roommate around him, so he comforted Xiao Yu and continued to move forward.
Suddenly someone called him from behind: "Cycle!" The voice was anxious, worried, anxious, and a little angry.
This voice was so familiar that Zhou Qi was suddenly flustered. The owner of the voice was Zhou Pan, and he hadn't figured out how to face her yet.
Zhou Qi turned his head in a daze, his movements were stiff, and he could almost hear the "creaking" sound of his bones when his neck turned. He felt that his expression now must be more solemn than when he learned that someone had spread his privacy.
Zhou Pan walked up to him soon and grabbed his brother's arm, still catching his breath.
"Let's go out and talk. You still have more than an hour before class."
Behind her followed a man, who looked to be in his thirties, not very good-looking, dressed in a suit and wearing a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and refined, but his complexion was not very good.
Zhou Qi forced a smile: "Sister, these two are my classmates."
Xiao Yu and Liu Yang hurriedly said, "Hello, sister."
Zhou Pan nodded to them symbolically, her mind now completely on Zhou Qi. She introduced the man next to her perfunctorily, "This is the boyfriend I mentioned before."
Zhou Qi suddenly became alert and looked at the man with his eyes wide open. He judged that he was a down-to-earth person.
However, after Zhou Pan went over and said a few words to that person, he simply said hello to Zhou Qi and his group and left.
"Why did he leave? We haven't even had a few words to say to each other?" Zhou Qi complained.
Zhou Pan didn't want to say more: "I have something to tell you."
Zhou Pan immediately became scared and knew what Zhou Pan was talking about. The two roommates next to him also understood that the two siblings had something to say in private, so they said hello and quickly retreated.
Zhou Pan took him out of the school gate, sat down in a secluded coffee shop, and asked directly: "What's going on between you and Su Yuanzhan?" Obviously, she also recognized the two people in the photo.
Zhou Qi lowered his eyelashes and silently agreed.
Zhou Pan knew his temper, and when she recalled the state of their relationship in recent days, some hidden and deliberately ignored ambiguity instantly surfaced. Now she finally understood why she always felt that there was something strange between the two of them, but she couldn't put it into words at that time. Now she knew it, but there was no way to save it.
She dissuaded him, "You know your own body. Wangwang is still here. How dare you..." There was a sense of incompetence in her words.
Zhou Qi lowered his head lower and lower, and after a long while he finally uttered two words: "I know."
Zhou Pan sighed and said, "You are an adult now, just be sensible. I know you have a bad temper, but how can your parents explain it to you?"
Zhou Qi really hadn't figured out how to communicate with his parents yet, so he sat there in silence listening to the lecture.
"Su Yuanzhan looks good now, but what about the future? Even married couples who have obtained marriage certificates can have their marriages broken down. You have no legal protection, so how long can it last?"
"Sister, let's not talk about other things. I have confidence in my feelings." Zhou Qi finally got involved. "I will confess to my parents soon."
Zhou Pan was anxious: "Confidence, confidence, empty talk. Look at me, isn't my marriage broken yet?"
Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, I also have something important to tell you."
Zhou Pan took a sip of tea to calm down her temper, put on an attitude of listening attentively, and said, "You go!" She wanted to see what reason Zhou Qi would have to convince her.
Zhou Qi clasped his hands, placed them on the coffee table, and said with a determined heart: "Su Yuanzhan and I have been together for a long time, and I'm bad again." After he said that, he didn't dare to look Zhou Pan in the eyes again.
"What?" Zhou Pan suddenly exclaimed, and then she realized that this was a quiet coffee shop. She grabbed Zhou Qi's wrist, lowered her voice, and said with a cold expression, "Do you know what you just said?"
"Um."
Zhou Pan stretched out his hand weakly and said helplessly: "I just told you that you are an adult. Even if you two are together, there must be safety measures!"
"This is an accident. I didn't want it to happen, but there's nothing I can do." Zhou Qi muttered.
"Accident?" Zhou Pan raised the last part of his voice. "Wangwang was an accident, but this is also an accident? What can I say?"
The cycle is so blocked that there is nothing to say.
"I really can't control you anymore. You're too powerful." Zhou Pan supported his forehead with one hand, his head aching.
"Sister." Zhou Qi called her weakly.
Zhou Pan didn't respond and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
Zhou Qi begged, "Sister, we are serious about this relationship. Su Yuanzhan also knows about Wangwang's affairs."
Zhou Pan looked up at him, his lips moved slightly, and finally said, "It's good that you know what's going on."
In the end, she was still worried and asked, "What are you going to do? And how old is the child?"
"Su Yuanzhan said he wanted to get married abroad." Zhou Qi couldn't help getting married. Only marriage could settle the family. "The child is only about one month old, very young."
"Getting married? Are you sure?" Zhou Pan looked at Zhou Qi's hand, which had no ring. Nowadays, people want wedding rings when they get married, and it's the same in their hometown, not to mention the capital.
Zhou Qi noticed her look and quickly made amends: "I didn't wear the ring on my hand. I was afraid you would find out, and I hadn't figured out how to explain it yet, so I took it off."
Zhou Pan said "Oh" and said, "If I didn't happen to go to your school today, when would you tell me? After the second child is born?"
Her voice was light, even gentle, but Zhou Qi inexplicably felt a chill, "We plan to talk about it this month, really, sister."
"I'll just believe you for now."
Zhou Qi wanted to say something, but seeing Zhou Pan's expression, he suddenly didn't dare to say it. He sat there feeling uncomfortable, hiding something in his heart, and scratched his fingernails with his thumb, making a slight sound.
Zhou Pan glanced at him and said, "Why are you still feeling wronged? Could it be that you did the right thing?"
"That's not right." Zhou Qi whispered, "It's just that I haven't made it clear yet." It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one, it's better to say it all at once.
Zhou Pan was puzzled: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Qi took a deep breath and said, "Wang Wang was also born to Su Yuanzhan and I back then."
