    Chapter 15 Reliance “Today…is it still the same as before?”

    Early the next morning, Qi Jiexue got up on time. As usual, Qu Mingluo sent Xi Xingyu to class early in the morning, and then took Qi Jiexue to work with him.

    Qi Jiejie sat next to Qu Mingluo, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, and unconsciously rubbing his fingers on the photo on the back of the phone case.

    The early morning sunlight shone in through the car window, casting a soft halo on Qu Mingluo’s side face, making him look gentler than usual.

    But he felt that this might also have something to do with yesterday.

    “Brother Ming,” Qi Jiexue couldn’t hold back, “Today…is it still the same as before?”

    Qu Mingluo seemed a little unresponsive, he paused and said, “Yeah.”

    “Okay.” Qi Jiexue said, his voice was very soft.

    It was quiet again between the two, except for the music flowing from the car stereo.

    Qi Jiejie himself couldn’t tell what he was struggling with, but now that he was in such a state, he didn’t bother to care about it.

    When he arrived at the company, Qu Mingluo parked his car in the underground garage, but did not get out of the car immediately, and Qi Jiejie did not move either.

    He looked at Qi Jiejue, and there was something flashing in his eyes that Qi Jiejue couldn’t understand.

    After going to the amusement park yesterday, both of them seemed to be in a trance.

    “Go up.” Qu Mingluo said to him.

    Of course Qi Jiejie would not say anything anymore. He had always been like this, and the two of them would not go up together.

    After going up, Qi Jiejue was a little absent-minded.

    But he didn’t want his work to be affected by his own thoughts, so he still tried hard to control his emotions.

    Qi Jiejue sat at his workstation, staring at the computer screen in a daze, until his colleague came over and asked mysteriously: “Xiao Qi, have you recently…had an unusual relationship with Mr. Qu?”

    Qi Jiejie’s heart tightened, but his face remained calm: “What do you mean?”

    “It’s just…” The colleague lowered his voice, “Someone saw you getting out of his car, and the company was spreading…”

    “Passing what?”

    “It is said that you are…” The colleague hesitated, “I belong to Mr. Qu.”

    Qi Jiejue’s fingers paused on the keyboard.

    “No.” He said, his voice was very soft, “I’m just his brother’s tutor.”

    The colleague nodded doubtfully and did not ask any further questions.

    Qi Jiejie stared at the computer screen, but couldn’t read a word.

    By some strange mistake, Qi Jiexue turned the phone around. At this moment, the Polaroid photo behind the phone case seemed to be getting hot.

    When it was time for lunch break, Qi Jiexue went up directly. He felt that he would rather face Qu Mingluo than face him at the same time, and then he also told Qu Mingluo about today’s conversation.

    “It doesn’t matter, this can be said.” Qu Mingluo said, “Just don’t let these affect your mood.”

    Qi Jiejie nodded. Of course he knew that Qu Mingluo was actually caring about himself when he said such words, not anything else.

    “You’d better stay here for a lunch break. There’s no need to go down.” Qu Mingluo said to him.

    Anyway, it was not the first time, so Qi Jiejie did not refuse him.

    Just like before, he still walked with Qu Mingluo after get off work.

    When giving lessons to Xi Xingyu in the afternoon, Qi Jiexue was a little absent-minded.Xi Xingyu noticed it, put down his pen, and looked at him worriedly: “Brother Xiaoqi, aren’t you happy?”

    “No,” Qi Jiejie smiled, “I was just thinking about something.”

    “Do you miss my brother?” Xi Xingyu suddenly asked.

    Qi Jiejie’s pen drew a long mark on the paper.

    “Xiao Xing…”

    “Did I say something wrong?”

    “I was just thinking about some strange things, which have nothing to do with your brother himself.” Qi Jiejie explained to him.

    “That’s it…” After Xi Xingyu got such an answer, he stopped asking further.

    He knew that after Qi Jiejue said this, he would naturally not say anything else.

    Qi Jiejie himself is a very focused person on what he has to do. He doesn’t want others to disturb him, nor does he want him to make mistakes at work, so this moment is not a very happy thing for him.

    Xi Xingyu would not remind him deliberately, so he would not say anything else to him and would just continue to do his homework.

    Xi Xingyu can always do a good job in these things, even if you are praying for help, you will feel his warmth.

    He just now feels that he can arrange many things at his age. This is his innate ability. Qi Jiezuo thought of Qu Mingluo again in a daze.

    In the eyes of many people, he is an existence that cannot be provoked, but he himself will also have moments when he is very young.

    Maybe…

    He and Xi Xingyu are not much different, and they are related by blood, so there may still be some similarities.

    After Qi Jiejue thought of this, he felt that there was no need to think about these things. It was boring.I understand, you want me to continue writing and use Chinese double quotes “”.

    Qi Jiejie recovered his thoughts, lowered his head and continued to look at Xi Xingyu’s homework.

    The setting sun outside the window slanted in, casting a warm light spot on the desk.

    “Please help me look at this question quickly, brother Xiaoqi.” Xi Xingyu said this to him.

    Qi Jiexue immediately read the question and explained it to him. After the explanation, Xi Xingyu completely understood it.

    Xi Xingyu probably didn’t really ask this question, it was just because of his state just now that he said such things.

    “Brother Xiaoqi,” Xi Xingyu suddenly said, “Are you tired today?”

    “A little bit.” Qi Jiejie did not deny it, “But it doesn’t matter. Finish your homework first.”

    “Then I’ll get you a glass of water!” Xi Xingyu jumped off the chair and ran out the door.

    Qi Jiejie wanted to call him back, but it was too late. He looked at Xi Xingyu’s running back, and suddenly felt that something in his heart softened.

    Not long after, Xi Xingyu came back with a glass of water, followed by Qu Mingluo.

    “Brother also said that brother Xiaoqi is tired!” Xi Xingyu said proudly, “So brother also came to see you!”

    Qi Jiejue raised his head and met Qu Mingluo’s eyes.There was something in his eyes that he couldn’t understand, like concern or something else.

    “Brother Ming…”

    “Xiaoxing said you were not in good condition today.” Qu Mingluo came over and leaned against the desk naturally, “What’s wrong?”

    “It’s nothing,” Qi Jiejie lowered his head, “It’s just… maybe I’m still old.”

    Qu Mingluo’s fingers paused on the edge of the table: “Has Xiaoxing finished her homework?”

    Qi Jiejie nodded, and Qu Mingluo said, “Then you can go and rest now. There is no need to show off, and there is no need to stay here.”

    Qu Mingluo told him: “If I can’t understand these things, there is no need to continue to be the president.”

    Of course Qi Jiejie knew that what he said was just for me to let myself rest peacefully, but he still felt very touched, because to put it bluntly, there was no need for Qu Mingluo to say such things just to be happy for himself.

    It’s because he cares about himself very much, that’s why he said this.

    “Thank you, Brother Ming.” Qi Jiejue said, “Then I will go and rest.”

    That’s what Qi Jie Xie Xian said, but after he actually lay down, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

    This doesn’t seem to be due to my own emotional problems, but to my body’s own problems.

    Qi Jiejie was a little unsure about what was going on with him. Could it be that he didn’t pay attention to protecting himself after going to the amusement park yesterday, so did he catch a cold?

    If that’s the case, it’s actually a bit bad. He hasn’t liked being sick since he was a child, and he doesn’t like to waste other time just to get sick.

    Qi Jiejie cared a lot about his grades when he was in school, but now he cares about perfect attendance.

    If he couldn’t go to the company normally, it would affect his salary, and he didn’t want that.

    So he originally planned not to say anything, but not long after, he heard someone knocking on the door of the room where he lived.

    Qu Mingluo brought him medicine to prevent colds.

    Qi Jiejie was really stunned when he saw it, because he didn’t say anything, but Qu Mingluo was actually prepared for him.

    “Brother Ming?” Qi Jiejie really felt a little incredible this time.

    “See if it’s a sign of a cold. It’s better to eat these first to prevent it.” Qu Mingluo said, “It’s best if it doesn’t really turn into a cold. If you do catch a cold, you will feel a little better by then.”

    Qi Jiejue didn’t know what to say other than thanking him.

    “If you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to rush to work.” Qu Mingluo said, “I will tell the company that I asked you to go on a business trip, and no one will say anything else.”

    Qi Jiejie really didn’t know what to say, because for him, capitalists would not consider these things at all, but at this moment, someone really thought of everything.

    And he must be just because of himself.

    “Brother Ming, I really don’t know what to say.” Qi Jiejue said, “Thank you, thank you!”

    Qu Mingluo laughed: “You don’t have to keep saying it.”

    Qi Jiejie asked him: “Then do you want to stay away from me? Otherwise, I will infect you and I will feel very guilty.”

    “If you really caught a cold, it was because we went to the amusement park together.” Qu Mingluo said, “It was originally we who insisted on you going with us, and I should have considered it.”

    Qi Jiejie looked at him and felt that what he had now was something he had never experienced in the past many years.

    Qu Mingluo…

    Really good.

    When Qi Jiexue thinks of this, he will feel that he really needs to repay Qu Mingluo, including Xi Xingyu.

    Xi Xingyu was already like a younger brother to him. After so many years of companionship, it was impossible for him to not care about Xi Xingyu at all.

    But his recent state of affairs made him feel very wrong, as if…

    It was as if his thoughts had really changed. He couldn’t really want to be what Xi Xingyu said.
