    Chapter 61

    Chang Qiaonan glanced at Xia Zhou lightly and did not answer immediately.

    After leaning over to confirm whether Xia Zhou’s seat belt was fastened, Chang Qiaonan smoothed Xia Zhou’s turned-out collar, then leaned back in his seat and started the vehicle.

    “Um, brother, aren’t you going to work today?”

    Unsure of Chang Qiaonan’s current state, Xia Zhou thought for a moment and spoke cautiously.

    “Oh, you only call me brother when you get into trouble.”

    Chang Qiaonan, the son of the Chang Yunshan family, and Xia Zhou also grew up together.

    Seeing the eldest brother, who was 6 years older than him, frowning, Xia Zhou had no choice but to shrink his neck and sat down in his seat to receive the care and condolences that followed.

    Just as Xia Zhou expected, Chang Qiaonan opened his mouth, followed by crackling greetings,

    “What are you going to do if I don’t come today? Do you still treat us as family after so many things have happened? Or are you saying that I can’t control you now and only my dad can help? Then let’s go home now…”

    Chang Qiaonan’s nagging voice was not loud, but what he said made Xia Zhou feel nervous.

    “No, brother, I was wrong, really, really, can we not go home!!!”

    Chang Qiaonan was also very accurate when dealing with Xia Zhou.

    After talking and talking along the way, Xia Zhou finally got Chang Qiaonan to let go.

    Chang Qiaonan calmly said “It depends on your performance” and drove the hover car slowly into an underground parking lot.

    Arriving at his eldest brother’s office after a long absence, Xia Zhou looked at the signboard of “Geological Survey Research Institute” above his head and followed Chang Qiaonan obediently.

    As soon as I sat down on the sofa in the office, there was a knock on the door.

    “Director, the meeting about the fifth geological survey of Tianxinxing will start in 15 minutes. The relevant data has been synchronized to your light board…”

    After explaining today’s schedule, the administrative assistant turned his attention to Xia Zhou.

    The moment their eyes met, Xia Zhou noticed that the other person’s eyes lit up.

    It’s not like he was recognized.

    Xia Zhou smiled and nodded in response. Thinking of the experience of being surrounded in the morning, Xia Zhou silently sighed in his heart about the power of gossip.

    Chang Qiaonan simply introduced to the assistant that this was his younger brother, but Chang Qiaonan didn’t pay much attention to the interaction between the two.

    He clicked on the light board and quickly browsed the information on the screen. Chang Qiaonan then stood up and packed some information.

    “There is a light board in the second row of the bookcase that is not commonly used. You know the password. The toilet is at the end of the corridor and turn right. I have a meeting next…”

    “Brother, I’m not a child…”

    In front of outsiders, Xia Zhou scratched his face in embarrassment.

    “Oh? Aren’t you?”

    Facing Chang Qiaonan’s scrutinizing gaze, Xia Zhou muttered in his heart and his posture became more upright.

    With this attitude, I won’t start nagging again…

    Hesitating whether he should urge his eldest brother to go to the meeting first, but afraid of triggering a new nagging, just as Xia Zhou was wavering, the terminal on his wrist suddenly vibrated.

    “Communication, do you want to answer it?”

    After taking a look at the name displayed on the screen, Xia Zhou fell silent.

    “Just pick it up if you don’t want to. The terminal will leave it to me today and I’ll give it to you after get off work.” Sensing Xia Zhou’s sad look, Chang Qiaonan didn’t think much and stretched out his hand.

    Aling.

    After glancing at the name displayed on the terminal, Chang Qiaonan took the terminal, clicked on the background, and directly activated the do not disturb mode.

    “Wait a minute!”

    As if he suddenly realized something, Xia Zhou quickly took the terminal back.

    Ignoring the still vibrating communication, Xia Zhou switched back to the homepage, quickly edited a message, and then handed the terminal to Chang Qiaonan obediently.

    “Is this good?”

    “Yeah! I reported the situation to my boss and asked for leave from my part-time job today…Brother, if there is any follow-up work, could you please help me reply?” After looking at Chang Qiaonan’s face, Xia Zhou tried to negotiate.

    “Why, I’ve become your secretary now?” Chang Qiaonan put Xia Zhou’s terminal into the pocket of his coat, took the information and walked out the door.

    “I’ll answer the message myself during lunch.”

    In this way, Xia Zhou, who had nothing to do, spent a day playing light board games in his elder brother’s office.

    After a day’s work, Chang Qiaonan took Xia Zhou to a private restaurant in the evening.

    Seeing Xia Zhou’s erratic eyes all day long, Chang Qiaonan lazily leaned back in his chair and finally decided to let him go.

    “Okay, I’m an adult now. I won’t ask you what you have or don’t have. I just want to tell you that you should go home more often when you have time. Your parents miss you very much. They like the souvenirs you brought back from your previous trip, but after all, they are still not as good as going back in person.”

    Putting Xia Zhou’s favorite vegetable meatballs into the bowl, Chang Qiaonan looked at Xia Zhou’s dazed look and couldn’t help but flick his forehead.

    “Brother!”

    “My hearing is fine, so I don’t need to speak so loudly.”

    After finishing the meal in such a “warm” way, Xia Zhou followed Chang Qiaonan out of the private room.

    “Huh? Bro, why don’t we go to the underground parking lot?”

    “Is it because I have a bad memory, or Xiaozhou, your acting skills have improved a lot. I remember that the place where I live seems to be on the east side of the city and on the west side of the city.” Chang Qiaonan rubbed his chin and looked at Xia Zhou thoughtfully as he spoke.

    Xia Zhou:???

    “Brother, your brother’s love is too short-lived.” Xia Zhou pursed his lips but couldn’t hold it back, and still complained.

    “I’m very conscientious for not letting you take a taxi by yourself.”

    After shaking the car-hailing service page on the terminal, Chang Qiaonan led Xia Zhou to the street outside the hotel.

    There was a slight chill in the capital star at night, and the evening breeze blowing in front of her made Xia Zhou shiver. “It’s getting late, brother. You’ve had a hard day’s work. Go pick up the car and go home early. Don’t worry about me!”

    “I don’t know if the work is hard or not. It’s true that your terminal screen has been lighting up repeatedly for a whole day. If people here didn’t know it, they would have thought that I was going to take a pictorial. My face has been brightened all day long.”

    It was a rare meal with his eldest brother, and he felt the care from his family for the first time in a long time. Xia Zhou felt a lot more at ease at this time. Not only was he polite to Chang Qiaonan, but the familiar poison was sprayed on his face again.

    Having said that, sensing Xia Zhou’s chill, Chang Qiaonan said words of disgust, but actually took off his coat.

    After putting the coat on Xia Zhou, Chang Qiaonan carefully arranged the collar. Looking at Xia Zhou’s moved eyes, he interrupted preemptively,

    “You’re welcome. Just send it to me after the dry cleaning is done.”

    Xia Zhou: “…”

    After tightening the coat tightly, Xia Zhou raised his chin with a snort, “Who said I would pay you back? This clothes is mine when you put it on, just a little bit!”

    After licking Xia Zhou’s head, Chang Qiaonan chuckled and said, “You look like a little kitten.”

    Wrapped in his newly acquired coat, Xia Zhou got into the luxury car called by her elder brother. At this moment, Xia Zhou just wanted to go home quickly, wash up and lie down.

    As for the messages on the terminal and Lingle’s missed communication, what does that sentence say on the Internet?Although escaping is shameful, it is useful!Yes, when you don’t know what to do, it’s better to just leave it to time.

    With this ostrich mentality, Xia Zhou rarely had a good sleep, but what he didn’t expect was that when he woke up, the sky had fallen.

    After Lingle finished making the headlines, the new headline page became his own.

    Seeing that the information on the terminal was 99+ again, Xia Zhou had no choice but to sit on the sofa in his pajamas and helplessly hold the terminal and check it.

    As the page jumped, a very distinctive cover picture appeared. Xia Zhou looked at the profile of his eldest brother who was coded in the picture, and he was speechless.

    “Ding ding ding ding dong~ ding ding ding ding dong~”

    A cheerful ringtone suddenly rang, which was a voice communication from a three-person group chat.

    Looking at the messages that kept popping up on the terminal, Xia Zhou hesitated for a few seconds and then honestly answered the call.

    “Xia Xia!!! Ling Xiaole said you don’t answer communications!”

    The moment it was connected, Ji Chenshi’s signature gossip tone came from the receiver.

    Xia Zhou: “…”

    Regarding the topic of Lingle, Xia Zhou didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, the other party did not dwell on this point, and with the addition of Chu Yue, the topic jumped rapidly.

    “Why are you yelling so early in the morning? Ji Xiaoxiao, don’t you have any plans for today? Headphones, please wait while I look for mine.”

    “I’ve been working for three hours. It’s so early in the morning on Uranus time. It’s my rest time now, so I ran straight back to the nanny’s car… Where is Xia Xia! Come out quickly, Xia Xia!”

    “…I’m here.”

    After listening to the two people talking about each other in the terminal for a long time before they clicked on themselves, Xia Zhou squeaked feebly.

    “Hey, please introduce me quickly, Xia Xia, where does this handsome guy come from? You are so polite even in candid photos! You two little lovers know how to play. Lingle sticks to the beautiful girl with your front legs, and Xia Xia with your back legs, you can meet the handsome guy at night! Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

    “He has such a figure, oh, he even helped me tidy up my coat, which is so considerate. I feel so good this year!”

    After rummaging around, Chu Yue finally put on the headphones and raised his hand to output.

    After hearing Chu Yue’s words, Ji Chenshi immediately followed and started to comment.

    “It’s true that there’s something about this entertainment journal. I’m going to take pictures of pictorials. I declare that Xia Xiaozhou wins this party! The atmosphere is full!”

    “…No, this mosaic is all mushy. Why is he a handsome guy? Besides, if you step back ten thousand steps, isn’t Teacher Han handsome?” The two of them accidentally took the topic away, and Xia Zhou’s desire to complain also came up.

    “Hmm??? What kind of person do you mention when appreciating a handsome guy? Xia Xiaozhou, hurry up and tell me honestly, where did you get the rumored handsome guy? You didn’t answer the call yesterday, and you didn’t reply much. Ling Xiaole has almost annoyed us all.”

    Hearing Lingle’s name, Xia Zhou felt a little guilty, “You’re not the target of the scandal, this is my brother.”

    “Hey, don’t you…why do you have a brother?” Recalling Xia Zhou’s life experience, Ji Chen quickly swallowed the words “welfare agency” that came to his lips, and then asked cautiously.

    “Oh, don’t I have a guardian? This is Uncle Chang’s son. We grew up together, so I usually call him brother.” Not paying attention to the pause in Ji Chenshi’s words, Xia Zhou replied normally.

    “Then there’s no blood relationship…” Chu Yue muttered quickly after hearing Xia Zhou’s answer.

    “So why didn’t you reply to our messages yesterday, Xia Xiaozhou! The gossip that I worked so hard to collect has nowhere to go, and no one responds. Where is the justice!!!” After figuring out Xia Zhou’s “scandal target”, Ji Chenshi turned around and started questioning.

    “Because the terminal was confiscated…” Faced with Ji Chenshi’s question, Xia Zhou scratched his head in embarrassment.

    “Damn, you’re so good!”
