    Chapter 80: Distracted

    After Chi Ye was pushed out of the room by Su Shi, he originally intended to coax Su Shi again after a while. It was absolutely impossible to sleep in separate rooms from Su Shi.

    But at this moment, Chi Ye received a call. Chi Xiangqin’s trusted butler was on his way to the apartments.

    This was a sudden attack, a surprise inspection.

    Fortunately, Chi Ye had bought off some of the people around Chi Xiangqin long ago, in preparation for emergencies. The driver who drove the butler was Chi Ye’s informant, and he had notified him of the news in advance.

    Chi Ye looked at the tightly closed door of Su Shi’s room upstairs, squeezed his phone, and had to leave.

    The apartments were bought by Chi Xiangqin. Besides the bedroom, there were cameras everywhere to satisfy Chi Xiangqin’s desire for control, so he could check what Chi Ye was doing at any time.

    Chi Xiangqin didn’t know that Chi Ye was a computer expert. He installed a program on the cameras and put pre-recorded images into them. Only in this way could he live at Su Shi’s home every day.

    The driver deliberately took the wrong road to delay the arrival time. Chi Ye took the opportunity to rush back to the apartments at full speed.

    When the butler arrived, Chi Ye was ready and was not discovered, averting the danger.

    Su Shi waited all night for Chi Ye and got up the next day with dark circles under his eyes. He cursed Chi Ye while changing clothes.

    Bastard, how dare you run away from home and not come back at night.

    You don’t even reply to my messages. Chi Ye, you’re something else.

    But after cursing, Su Shi couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.

    Su Shi received news on the way to the Studio that Xu Chongming had withdrawn from the project.

    This was strange. Leaving aside personal feelings, Xu Chongming was very dedicated and attached great importance to this project. He had been participating in it very seriously.

    How could this be so sudden?

    Su Shi couldn’t help but think that Chi Ye had done something. Chi Ye was unwilling for Su Shi to have anything to do with Xu Chongming again. Could he have contacted Jiang Hui and forced Xu Chongming to withdraw?

    However, if that was the case, it might not be the worst outcome, saving a lot of trouble.

    Su Shi was distracted all morning at work, looking at his phone again and again. He couldn’t help but grab an employee and ask, “Does your phone have a signal? Will messages be delayed?”

    The employee said, “No, the internet speed is very fast.”

    Su Shi asked another employee and got the same answer, which made him a little disappointed.

    The two employees were completely confused, staring at each other for a long time, but they couldn’t figure out what Su Shi meant.

    Little Jie knocked on their desks as he passed by, “Don’t guess blindly.”

    One of the employees said, “But Teacher Su is really not right. He has never been like this before.”

    Little Jie’s eyes flickered. He had the same feeling, but he still said, “Okay, get back to work.”

    Little Jie entered Su Shi’s office and saw this scene.

    Su Shi was supporting his chin with one hand and staring at his phone in a daze. He didn’t even react when Little Jie came in.

    “Teacher Su, Teacher Su.” Little Jie called twice.

    “Huh?”

    Su Shi finally came back to his senses.

    Little Jie put down the documents and prepared to leave, but Su Shi stopped him.

    “Little Jie, can you make a call to Chi Ye?”

    Little Jie gave an “ah” sound, not quite understanding. “Sure, but what should I say?”

    Su Shi thought for a while and said, “Just say I asked you to go to my house to get a document, and you can’t find it, and ask if he has seen it.”

    Little Jie was quiet for several seconds, trying to digest the meaning of this sentence. After a while, he said, “Okay, I’ll call.”

    Su Shi added, “Put it on speaker.”

    Little Jie couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, are they fighting? He’s too embarrassed to call himself. Teacher Su is like he’s falling in love for the first time.

    The phone was dialed, and Su Shi waited nervously to hear Chi Ye’s voice. However, the phone was not answered.

    Little Jie pouted and tentatively asked, “Teacher Su, should I keep calling?”

    Su Shi couldn’t help but feel lost and waved his hand, “Forget it, no need. You can go out.”

    Little Jie had no choice but to leave Su Shi’s office.

    At this time, Xu Chongming was at the Airport. Jiang Hui had urgently sent him on a business trip and forced him to withdraw the investment he had originally made in cooperation with Su Shi’s Studio.

    Xu Chongming knew very well that Chi Ye had done all of this, but he was not capable enough to resist Jiang Hui now.

    Xu Chongming hated it so much that his teeth itched. Since Chi Ye was unrighteous, he couldn’t blame him for being unjust.

    He has weaknesses, and Chi Ye also has weaknesses.

    It was difficult for Xu Chongming to escape Jiang Hui’s control, and it was equally difficult for Chi Ye to escape Chi Xiangqin’s control. Let’s see who’s afraid of whom.

    Xu Chongming raised a playful smile at the corner of his lips, turned off his phone, and boarded the plane.

    Su Shi couldn’t wait any longer. Not being able to contact Chi Ye made him feel panicked.

    Chi Ye used to revolve around him all the time. Su Shi hadn’t realized that he had become inseparable from Chi Ye. Not seeing him for one night and half a day made Su Shi feel like an ant on a hot pan.

    Su Shi drove to Chi Ye’s school. Luckily, he happened to meet Chen Zihan at the gate. Su Shi got out of the car and went up to say hello.

    Chen Zihan was obviously very surprised. “You are, Chi Ye’s boyfriend.”

    Su Shi nodded. “Is Chi Ye in your club? I called him, but he didn’t answer.”

    Chen Zihan said no, Chi Ye didn’t come, and suggested that Su Shi go to Chi Ye’s apartments to see.

    Su Shi embarrassedly told her that he had never been to Chi Ye’s apartments and didn’t know the specific room number.

    Chen Zihan was very cheerful and told Su Shi the room number. To avoid Su Shi misunderstanding, she also explained that she had checked at the school because she wanted to invite Chi Ye to join the club before.

    Su Shi had a good impression of this girl. After thanking her, he drove away.

    Chi Ye’s apartments had a very good location, with complete facilities and not far from the school, which was very convenient.

    But Chi Ye lived at Su Shi’s house, which was far from the school, and he had to get up very early every day.

    Chi Ye never complained about the trouble.

    Su Shi didn’t know why Chi Ye never took him to the apartments. He thought Chi Ye didn’t like it here very much.

    Su Shi found the room number Chen Zihan mentioned, walked over, and found that the door of Chi Ye’s house was not closed tightly, but ajar.

    The sound of someone talking came from inside.

    Su Shi was overjoyed. Chi Ye was at home.

    But as he approached and heard the conversation inside clearly, the hand he raised to knock on the door froze in mid-air.

    There were two voices, one was Chi Ye’s voice, and the other was a strange male voice.

    Strange male voice: “What is your relationship with that man?”

    Chi Ye: “We’re together.”

    Strange male voice: “When did you start liking men? Did you learn it from Xu Chongming? That man used to be Xu Chongming’s boyfriend. Did you snatch him from him?”

    Chi Ye: “Yes, he’s pretty good.”

    Strange male voice: “You bastard, you are the only seedling of our Chi family. How can you be with a man?”

    Chi Ye: “He’s just a trophy for me to compete with Xu Chongming. Grandpa.”

    Strange male voice: “That’s more like it. When are you breaking up?”

    Chi Ye: “Soon, give me some time.”

    Strange male voice: “Okay, once you’ve had enough fun, settle down. Feelings are the most worthless thing in the world. Don’t expect you can be an exception.”

    Chi Ye: “I won’t. I’m not serious.”

    Strange male voice: “Well, don’t disappoint me.”

    Chi Ye: “I won’t, Grandpa. I won’t let you down.”

    Su Shi was struck by lightning. He stood rooted to the spot and didn’t even have the courage to push open the door and rush in.
