Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate Showdown

In July in Haicheng, the scorching sun is like fire.

The white plane crossed the sky and landed slowly at the East Coast International Airport.

Following the flight attendant's gentle prompting sound, Qi Yu took off the blindfold and sat up from the capsule-shaped cabin.

After sleeping all the way, I still felt uncomfortable.

"Qiyu, it's here!" The voice coming from the side made Qiyu's brows jump again, and saw a young man with flower arms get up one step ahead of him, take off the two's carry-on luggage, and look out of the plane window with excitement.

"I haven't been back to the motherland for several years! I don't know how the great rivers and mountains of our motherland are being built!"

The person who spoke was none other than Meng Wenhui, who had only met at Uncle Meng's house during the Spring Festival.

Uncle Meng wandered in the United States in his early years and had some friends in both black and white.

Before returning to China this time, because Qi Yu told Qi Yuancheng about Zhang Chengxuan, Qi Yuancheng was afraid that he would be in danger, but he was relieved and asked Meng Jiahe to recommend two trustworthy Chinese bodyguards.

Uncle Meng learned that Qi Yu was going back to China to help Qi Yuancheng, and he also encouraged Meng Wenhui to come over to see and learn, and protect Qiyu by the way. Although Meng Wenhui was not good at reading and mixed with people, Uncle Meng, who believed in art and did not push himself, grew up. After being forced to practice Wing Chun for several years, his "fighting" ability is still very good.

Qi Yu was helpless and could only bring this "oil bottle". Fortunately, he was not a hypocritical son of Sihang. The two still had a childhood friendship. Meng Wenhui also admired Qi Yu from the bottom of his heart.

The two got out of the plane first and headed to the gate.

"Wow, there are so many people in Haicheng! I feel like I haven't seen so many people in hundreds of years!" Meng Wenhui was locked up at home by his father for half a year. When he returned to China this time, he was as excited as a wild monkey out of a cage. , chattering all the way.

"Be quiet." Qi Yu glanced at Meng Wenhui, saw his bells and whistles, and had another headache.

During the Chinese New Year, he dressed thickly and didn't see it. Qi Yu didn't know when this kid got a tattoo. The young man who used to look simple and honest, was forced by this tattoo to show the temperament of a social hooligan.

"Hey, the girls in China are so slender!"

"…"

After entering and exiting the airport, he went directly to the parking lot. Xu Jing had already known that Qi Yu was returning to China today, so he took the time to pick him up in person.

But this time, there was also a girl of twenty-seven or eight-year-old who followed him, with bright eyes and white teeth, and an elegant demeanor.

Seeing Qi Yu, Xu Jing happily stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "It's been almost a year and a half, haven't you? The last time you came back was in April last year. You seem to be more mature." Meng Wenhui behind him said, "Xiao Meng has also grown a lot."

The two of them had met a few times in the United States before, "Hey, Brother Xu, how are you?" Meng Wenhui greeted Xu Jing, but looked straight at the smiling girl beside him, "Who is this beauty? "

Xu Jing introduced: "This is the secretary prepared by President Qin for Qi Yu, Miss Cheng Lijun."

That Miss Cheng just stepped forward and respectfully said to Qi Yu, who was obviously younger than herself: "Hello, Mr. Qi, I'm Cheng Lijun from Meiwei's public relations department. You can call me Lijun, and Mr. Qin will let me have these two. Yue will follow you, I will be your secretary for two months, just ask me if you need anything."

Meng Wenhui scratched his head: "It's the secretary, I thought it was Brother Xu, your girlfriend."

Xu Jing: "…"

Qi Yu was also strange at first, but he heard the words clearly.

Shaking hands with Cheng Lijun, after a brief acquaintance, the four got into the car.

Xu Jing asked Meng Wenhui in the car, "Are you staying in Haicheng with Qiyu for two months this time?"

"Yes," Meng Wenhui said with a smile, "to protect my future brother-in-law."

Qi Yu: "..."

Xu Jing: "Protection, future brother-in-law?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Qi Yu quickly explained his main purpose of coming back this time and Qi Yuancheng's worries, only then did Xu Jing understand what Meng Wenhui meant by "protection".

"I said, why did Mr. Qi let two bodyguards follow him this time..."

The other two bodyguards who followed were in economy class and were not with them for the time being. Xu Jing said that Cheng Lijun would arrange their pick-up.

"I feel that my dad is a little too nervous." Qi Yu looked out the window and said.

"Does your dad care about you too?" Xu Jing said with a smile.

Because Qi Yu came back to work this time, and he had people with him, it was inconvenient to go home and live. After consulting with Cheng Lijun, Xu Jing and Cheng Lijun directly booked them in a holiday hotel near Meiwei Haicheng Branch for two months. s room.

Xu Jing chose a suite for Qi Yu. As soon as he entered the door, Qi Yu saw several cardboard boxes on the carpet in front of him.

"What is this?" he asked.

Cheng Lijun explained: "Here are some daily necessities and clothes that I have prepared for you. I heard that you have been living abroad, and you may not bring many things when you come back temporarily. The clothes inside are also directly selected from Meiwei's warehouse. Most of them are new seasons from ME·WE and E'lite, you can wear them if you like them, or leave them alone if you don't like them."

Qi Yu said "Oh", thinking that this person is quite thoughtful.

He really didn't bring any clothes, because he used to take it directly from Qi Feng's wardrobe when he came back.

After everything was settled, Xu Jing asked Qi Yu about the arrangements for the next few days.

"Take a two-day break, adjust the time difference, and go to the company next week," Qi Yu looked at Xu Jing and said, "I want to go home first to see my mother and Xiao Feng, can you lend me your car? "

Cheng Lijun immediately said, "Mr. Qi, do you want to use a car? Where do you want to go? I can call you a car in advance."

Qi Yu was stunned by her words, and Xu Jing took the hand that was about to give the car key back.

"Hehe, since Xiao Cheng can arrange it for you, you can let her arrange it. The road in Haicheng is blocked, and you may not be able to drive when you just came back," Xu Jing paused, then said, "In addition, the two bodyguards Living in the standard room downstairs, Miss Cheng has provided them with domestic mobile phones. Since your father is not worried about your safety, you can take them with you when you go to unfamiliar places and make the best use of them."

"Okay..." Qi Yu was used to being alone before, and it was rare for someone to call him back and forth like this. He was also called "you" and "you" from the left by someone older than himself. Not fit.

"Are you going to your mother's place tonight? Are you free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner together?" Xu Jing asked with a smile.

"Tomorrow night?" Qi Yu's eyes turned slightly, "I have something to do tomorrow night, can I do it the day after tomorrow?"

"Eh? I'm just going to Yancheng for a business trip the day after tomorrow," Xu Jing seemed to feel a little regretful, but he didn't take it to heart, "It doesn't matter, you are relatively close to Fengmao, anyway, it's been two months, wait for me to come back and look for it again. you."

"good."

Xu Jing explained Cheng Lijun, and then said to Qi Yu: "I have something to do with the company in a while. If there is any problem that Cheng Lijun can't solve, you can call me."

"Okay, go get busy first." Qi Yu responded, and after seeing Xu Jing off, she wanted to call her mother, but she was dialing the number when she saw Cheng Lijun standing quietly by the side.

Qi Yu felt a little uncomfortable, and said to her, "I don't need a secretary for the past two days. You go back first, and you can find me when I go to the company."

Cheng Lijun was stunned for a moment: "But President Qin said..."

Qi Yu was suddenly a little unhappy: "Are you listening to me or President Qin?"

Cheng Lijun understood, and quickly changed her words: "I'm sorry, I know, then leave my phone number? Can I arrange the car for you now?"

Qi Yu took her business card: "No need for now, I will contact you if I need it."

After Cheng Lijun went out, Qi Yu called her mother. Jiang Ying knew that he was returning to China, so she specially asked the nanny to cook dinner at home, and told him that Xiaofeng and Ling Ke were both there.

After hanging up, Qi Yu saw that there were unread new messages on WeChat.

F1S: "Are you there yet?"

Yu: "Just arrived, at the hotel."

F1S: "Which hotel?"

Yu: "Holiday."

F1S: "The one on Mingliu Road?"

Yu: "Hmm."

F1S: "Then we are very close now."

F1S: "Take a good rest, see you tomorrow."

Qi Yu: "…"

very close? How close is it? Why does this guy end the conversation nonchalantly every time he says something that upsets him?

Putting down the phone, Qi Yu went to unpack the clothes in the cardboard boxes.

Cheng Lijun's vision is not bad, from formal work clothes, daily leisure to personal clothes, everything is prepared for him.

Qi Yu is a typical clothes hanger. As long as the size is right, it will fit. He picked a few pieces that he liked and asked the hotel staff to wash them first.

At six o'clock in the evening, when Qi Yu returned home, Jiang Ying asked him, "Are you losing weight?"

"...Yes?" Qi Yu looked down at himself strangely.

Jiang Ying folded her arms, raised her head and called out, "Xiao Feng, your brother is back."

After a few seconds, a face that looked like a copy and paste of Qi Yu appeared on the corridor on the second floor: "Hey, you're back~ bro!"

Qi Feng walked down the stairs with a smile, followed by Ling Ke.

Jiang Ying pointed at Qi Feng and said, "Stand close to your brother, I'll take a look..."

Qi Feng was inexplicable: "Why?"

When the two brothers stood in a row, the figure of the two was clear at a glance.

"You still said you're not thin?" Jiang Ying frowned, "What's the matter, is it because you didn't eat well or went to school too hard?"

Hearing this, Qi Feng also looked around his brother, as if he was surprised by the rare difference between the twins: "Brother, are you really thinner than me?" It wasn't enough to see, "Look at your thin waist, Dad. Are you abusing you?... I **** you so thin and have abs?"

Qi Yu slapped his hand away and said in disgust, "It's obviously because of your lack of exercise that you have gained weight!"

Qi Feng: "Nonsense! My weight has been maintained between 75kg-78kg since the second year of high school!"

Qi Yu squinted at him: "You are so heavy?"

Qi Feng: "Respect your sister, is this the standard weight!?"

Qi Yu frowned and stretched out his hand to look for his younger brother: "Where did you grow the extra ten pounds of meat?"

Qi Feng shouted, "Hey, what are you doing! You rascal!"

Ling Ke: "…"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight again, Jiang Ying hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, go wash your hands, and eat!"

While Qi Feng went to the bathroom, Qi Yu handed Ling Ke a box of chocolates: "Here, I brought it for you."

Ling Ke: "...Thank you."

Qi Yu deliberately asked him, "Who are you thanking?"

Ling Ke said in a low voice, "Thank you, brother," and curled up his fingers nervously.

When Qi Feng came out, he heard this sentence and shouted angrily, "You are teasing Ling Ke again!"

Ling Ke: "…"

"Come here for me! Eat!" With Jiang Ying's roar, the brothers finally calmed down and sat down at the table.

During the meal, Jiang Ying asked Qi Yu about her study abroad life and the arrangements for her return this time. After listening to her, she complained, "What's the matter with your father? You went so far to study without hiring someone to take care of you. , this time when you return to China, I will give you such a heavy task..."

Qi Feng, who was beside him, asked curiously, "What task? What did Dad ask brother to do?"

Jiang Ying: "Your father asked your brother, a sophomore student, to be parachuted into the Meiwei branch to be the interim president for two months, and also asked him to investigate the company's business problems."

"Brother, you are too miserable!" Qi Feng gave him a piece of braised pork with sympathy on his face, "No wonder you are thin and eat more."

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows: "Then are you here to help me?"

Qi Feng: "I don't want it."

Qi Yu: "…"

***

After dinner, Qi Yu chatted with her mother alone for a while, and then went back to the hotel.

Before going to bed at night, he and the plural confirm the meeting place and time for the next day.

Yu: "Where will I see you tomorrow?"

F1S: "Can you drink?"

Yu: "I can drink a little."

F1S: "Do you know where Fengmao Building is?"

Qi Yu was stunned, so coincidentally, isn't Fengmao where Xu Jing works?

Yu: "I know."

F1S: "Tomorrow at eight o'clock, the Skyline bar on the top floor of Fengmao Building?"

Qi Yu replied "OK".

The next day, Qi Yu slept until the evening before waking up.

After getting up, he picked out a silver-gray plaid shirt and light-colored trousers from the new clothes that had been dried in water yesterday, and took care of himself.

At this point in the early morning when he was in California, Qi Yu first went to the Hong Kong-style restaurant downstairs to drink a bowl of Tingzai porridge, and then set off for Fengmao Building.

Because the hotel where he was staying was near there, Qiyu took a five-minute taxi to get there.

At 7:20 in the evening, Qi Yu arrived at the Skyline bar 40 minutes earlier than the appointed time.

Petty bourgeois music surrounds the ears, and lights and shadows vaguely divide each table and chair.

Qi Yu picked a corner and sat down, ordered a random glass of whisky, and began to wait boredly for more.

Speaking of which, he's quite impressed with this bar because he did a stupid thing here last April...

He flirted with a strange man and gave him his first kiss, and he didn't want to do it for a while afterward.

It may be that similar circumstances triggered memories, Qi Yu smiled unconsciously.

…

I don't know what the plural looks like. Dad said that he is "a dragon and a phoenix", so it should be pretty good, right?

But no matter what the other person looks like, Qi Yu is absolutely confident in his appearance.

The time to meet with the plural agreement is getting closer, and the number of people in the bar is gradually increasing.

Qi Yu repeatedly pressed the lock screen of the phone—

19:37

19:44

19:52

…

Seeing that the time above was approaching eight o'clock, Qi Yu became more and more nervous.

It seems that he has never felt this way because of anyone...

I want to see you, but I'm a little scared to meet.

Just then, the phone vibrated twice.

F1S: "Are you here yet?"

F1S: "I'm up."

Qi Yu's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate uncontrollably...

He lowered his head and replied, "Well, at the corner table on the left after entering the door, I chose the sofa seat for two people."

F1S: "What are you wearing?"

Yu: "Silver-gray shirt, but I think you can see me at a glance when you come in."

F1S: "Why?"

Yu: "I'm the most handsome in the crowd."

F1S: "Really?"

F1S: "Then I seem to have seen you."

Qi Yu was startled and immediately raised his head.

I saw a tall young man walking slowly towards him through the bright and dim lights.

He was wearing a black shirt, his phone in his hand, and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, the buttons on his chest flickering under the lights as he moved.

Even through the lens, Qi Yu could see that the other party was staring at him.

...is this plural?

Qi Yu was a little dazed.

This man... has he seen it somewhere?

"...Qiyu?" The voice I heard countless times in the WeChat voice sounded in my ears, with a touch of metal texture, and the face-to-face was clearer and more magnetic.

"Hmm..." Qi Yu responded instinctively.

"I am plural." The man stretched out his hand towards him with a half-smile, his sleeves shrunk, revealing the string of dark green jade beads on his wrist.

Qi Yu's pupils shrank...

...

 …

He remembered...!

This person was actually a year and three months ago...

The man he flirted with in this bar! ?
