    Chapter 6 Normal “What do you think?” he asked Qi Jiejue, “I think…

    He typed: [Mr. Qu, I’m still at work.】

    【Lunch break.】

    Qi Jiejie glanced at the time and saw that it was indeed almost lunch break.

    But he didn’t agree to go up, and he didn’t reply to Qu Mingluo. As soon as the lunch break came, Lin Shuangyu knocked on the door and came in: “Xiao Qi, Mr. Qu said he had something to ask for, so he asked you to come up.”

    Qi Jiejie was speechless. Qu Mingluo took advantage of his position so much that others couldn’t say anything even if they really had opinions.

    After all, he is the person with the real say in this company.

    Qi Jiejie had no choice but to go to the elevator and press the button for the video call and the 28th floor.

    Then, he knocked on the door and entered Qu Mingluo’s office.

    “Mr. Qu, there’s no need to be so polite.”Qi Jiejie said, “I’m quite happy eating at the convenience store downstairs.”

    “OK.Qu Mingluo said, “Then I’ll go eat with you.””

    “No no no!No.”I’m really looking forward to our lunch,” said Qi Jiejie.”

    He could be sure that if he took Qu Mingluo down, he would not only have to receive the attention of other colleagues, but also their lunch time would be disturbed.

    Qu Mingluo looked at him, then reached out and took out a thermos box from the drawer and put it on the table.

    “This.”He said, “It tastes better than convenience stores.”

    Qi Jieju looked at the insulated box: “Did you do it?”

    “Xiao Xing’s aunt.Qu Mingluo said, “I think you like her craftsmanship better, so I asked her to make two copies.””

    Qi Jiejie spoke after a long time: “Mr. Qu, you don’t have to do this.”

    “What kind?”

    “That’s how it is now.”Qi Jiejue pointed to the thermos box and then to the cashmere sweater on his body, “You are too kind to me, I will feel it is abnormal.”

    Qu Mingluo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then again.

    “What do you think?He asked Qi Jiejue, “Why am I nice to you?””

    Qi Jie clenched her sleeves tightly, not knowing what to say.

    “Because of Xiaoxing.”He said, his voice a little hoarse, “Because I am Xiaoxing’s tutor.”

    “Since you are nice to Xiaoxing, I am his brother, so there is nothing abnormal about being nice to you.Qu Mingluo said, “Xiao Qi, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. It’s not you who is taking Xiaoxing with you. His parents are not here, and I don’t know how to take care of him.””

    Qi Jiejue looked into Qu Mingluo’s eyes, trying to find the flaw.But Qu Mingluo’s expression was so natural, as if he was stating something ordinary.

    My brother is grateful to his tutor, so he prepares a lunch. What’s wrong with that?

    “That’s it?he asked, his voice softer than he expected.

    “What if?Qu Mingluo asked, his eyes calm, “What do you think?””

    Qi Jiejie couldn’t answer. He couldn’t say that because he was gay, he suspected that all the men in the world had ulterior motives.

    Qu Mingluo’s behavior can be explained. He was just used to controlling everything and being nice to others. It was his own misunderstanding.

    “Nothing.There was a hint of relief in his tone as he took the thermos box and said, “Thank you, Mr. Qu. I heated the two portions together.””

    Qu Mingluo didn’t answer, he just lowered his head and continued reading the documents, as if the conversation just now had never happened.

    But Qi Jiejue saw that the tips of his ears glowed faintly pink under the light, like some kind of silent exposure.

    Not long after, he brought over the heated lunch box.

    “Go to the lounge and eat.”Qu Mingluo told him.

    “Okay.”

    Qi Jiejie followed him, waiting for him to press his fingerprint to open the door, and then take him inside to sit down.

    At this moment, Qi Jiexue felt that Qu Mingluo was not just Xi Xingyu’s brother.

    The lounge was larger than Qi Jiejue had imagined, with a small round table, two chairs, a small tea table against the wall, and the city skyline outside the window.

    The sun shines in, casting warm light spots on the dark gray carpet.

    Obviously, everything here is arranged according to Qu Mingluo’s preferences.

    Qu Ming sat down opposite him and opened the thermos box.

    Today’s dishes are obviously different from the last time. They are all carefully cooked by the aunt at home, not by Qu Mingluo himself.

    But he really doesn’t have such time. He has to do work every day, and he also needs to take care of his younger brother Xi Xingyu.

    “Auntie said that she knows your taste very well, so Xiaoxing likes many of them.Qu Mingluo said, “He said he would make more according to your taste.””

    Qi Jiejue looked at the plate of chicken feet and chicken wings in front of him and remembered that he had picked up a few more chopsticks last night, and Qu Mingluo remembered it.

    “What about you?He asked, “What do you like to eat?””

    Qu Mingluo was stunned for a moment, as if no one had ever asked this question.

    He looked down at his bowl and poked the rice with his chopsticks.

    “I’m not picky about food.” he said.

    “There is always someone I like, but Mr. Qu’s attitude seems like he doesn’t want to tell me..”

    Qu Mingluo was silent for a long time, so long that Qi Jiexue thought he wouldn’t answer, and then he said: “Sweet.”

    Qi Jiezuo smiled: “Small cake?”

    “Um.Qu Mingluo said, “But I have a bad stomach and can’t eat more.””

    Qi Jiexue recalled that day on the 28th floor, when Qu Mingluo collapsed due to hypoglycemia.

    The black shirt was soaked and his knuckles were blue and white, but he held on to the ground stubbornly.

    He recalled that when Qu Mingluo bit him when he stuffed the glucose tablets, it was not serious, like some kind of unconscious dependence.

    It’s not that Qu Mingluo doesn’t know everything. He can fully realize it. It’s just that he is busy with work and really doesn’t have time to care.

    Qi Jiexue said nothing.

    He lowered his head to eat. The taste was the same as last night, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

    “Mr. Qu.He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you usually… also eat with Xiaoxing?””

    “Of course not, you have taken him with you for several years and you have never seen me before.”

    “Then recently…”

    “There’s just enough time.”

    Qi Jiejie looked at his side face and felt that this man must be hiding something else, but if he didn’t tell him, Qi Jiejie would not take the initiative to ask.

    These are other people’s affairs and have nothing to do with him.

    Even Qu Mingluo was not someone Qi Jiezuo could come into contact with casually.

    The two of them ate in silence, with only the slight sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.

    Qi Jiejie always felt a little embarrassed when he didn’t know what to say, so he couldn’t help but look out the window, and he would see the changes in the clouds.

    Qi Jiexue thought of the place he rented, the sandwiches in the convenience store, and the silence of eating alone.

    It was different here. There was someone sitting across from him. Someone remembered that he liked chicken feet and wings, but she also knew that none of these things belonged to him.

    He is only here temporarily, but even if it is such a beautiful thing, he will not ignore it.

    After he finished eating, he planned to clean up.

    “Just leave it here, someone will come and collect it.Qu Mingluo said, “Your lunch break is short, so don’t waste it on me.””

    “Thank you, Mr. Qu, but these things can’t be said to be a waste. I should be the one thanking you.”Qi Jiejie said, “If you hadn’t prepared meals for me, I would still be at the convenience store downstairs now.”

    Qu Mingluo looked at him with calm eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just said “hmm”.

    Qi Jiejue greeted him: “I’m going down.”

    He walked to the door, holding the doorknob, and heard a voice from behind: “Don’t forget to come with me.”

    He turned around and saw Qu Mingluo standing in front of the window, still standing tall and straight.

    Qi Jiejue said to him: “Don’t worry, I won’t forget it.”

    After he returned, others began to inquire about the reason why Qu Mingluo asked him to go upstairs.

    Qi Jiejie still dealt with it with work matters. Anyway, someone in the company had already given him various identities, so he wouldn’t have to explain and deny it to everyone.

    Anyway, it doesn’t matter if others misunderstand these things.

    Qi Jiejie took a nap after going downstairs. When she closed her eyes, she could still think of the scene just now.

    Qu Mingluo’s appearance is really good-looking and cannot be ignored, and he is a few years older than Qi Jiejie, and he has the calmness and stability of a superior.

    It’s hard not to be attracted by this kind of temperament.

    But he also knew that this was Xi Xingyu’s brother, not his.

    He could only say that he had some opportunities to get along with him during this period, but he would not desire more.

    He knew that if it wasn’t his thing and he still had an idea, the consequences wouldn’t be what he wanted.

    These things themselves should not exist in his life, he will not count on them, nor will he have any delusions.

    Because he will never be the person he lets himself down.

    When it was time to get off work, he walked down quickly.

    Fortunately, he caught the first elevator after get off work.
