After Running Away With a Cub, I Became Everyone’s Favourite - Chapter 37

There is no difference between big and small melons.

Because Xia Yubin said, “Xia Qingshu was being kept by Chen Zhiyu”, the Xia family had a meal that was tasteless and each with different thoughts.

Xia Shan sent a message to Chen Zhiyu, and will go to find him when he was done dealing with Zhou Qian’s affairs.

After the meal, Zhou Qian, Zhou Chuan and Uncle Zhou arrived.

Zhou Qian winked at Xia Yubin as soon as he entered, “Didn’t you say you invited me over for Auntie Wang’s cucumber casserole with eels, why did you make us eat dinner before coming over.”

Xia Yubin helped him out with his slippers and gently patted him on the shoulder, smiling bitterly, “There’s a small matter at home.”

Zhou Qian slapped him on the shoulder, “Why are you standing around, let’s go.”

Walking into the living room, Zhou Qian saw Xia Qingshu at a glance.

Xia Qingshu sat in the middle of Xia Jing and Xia Shan. He was shorter than the two of them, but he was thin and fair-skinned. He was like a protected rare species between them.

He also looked like a white flower bud poking out of the wall, waiting to bloom and emitting a tempting fragrance.

Zhou Qian’s eyes went straight.

Zhou Chuan walked behind him and poked him in the waist, reminding him in a whisper, “Watch yourself.”

Xia Jing led the Zhou family to the living room, where Uncle Zhou expressed his sincere apologies and Zhou Qian apologised again to Xia Qing Shu.

Zhou Qian denied that Xia Yubin had been involved in the bullying of Qing Shu, and Uncle Zhou hoped that the three peers would get along happily and harmoniously, and promised that Qing Shu would never be bullied again if he would return to school.

He promised that if Qing Shu would return to school, he would never be bullied again. The other party had lowered their stance and was so sincere that Xia Jing could not afford to tear up the situation. Although the Xia family did not consider the 50 million yuan as a threat, the huge amount of compensation was a way for the Zhou family to make peace.

He didn’t know what the Zhou family was thinking, but Xia Jing and Xia Shan had a thorn buried in their hearts, and the Xia family and the Zhou family would definitely not be as close in the future.

Xia Jing and Uncle Zhou had a bit of business and they talked for a few minutes. Zhou Qian was bored and came out to look for the toilet, but at the entrance of the toilet, he saw Xia Qing Shu standing alone at the corner of the stairs and smiling at him.

Xia Qing Shu was slender and beautiful, his body hidden in the shadow of the hallway, only his eyes were so bright that they were regal.

Like a cat that seduces the heart.

Zhou Qian swallowed, turned and walked straight over.

Zhou Qian’s eye surgery had been successful, his vision restored, and a pair of different colored pupils glowed green in the shadows, as if he had seen an exquisite prey. His facial features were handsome, but his two eyes had different pupil colours, the corners of his eyes raised and this cemented the indescribably evil aura.

As if startled, Xia Qing Shu stumbled towards his room. In less than two minutes, Zhou Qian followed him to the door. There was a knock on the door and Xia Qing Shu opened a crack to see Zhou Qian outside.

Zhou Qian wanted to go in, but Xia Qing Shu wouldn’t let him. The two of them talked at the door for a few minutes before Xia Qing Shu closed the door. Zhou Qian leaned over the door, his heart beating faster, and licked the door handle where Xia Qing Shu had touched it, as if his soul had been hooked.

“Qian, what are you doing here?” Xia Yubin, holding a fruit plate in his hand, came down from upstairs and saw Zhou Qian standing in Xia Qing Shu’s doorway on the first floor.

“No, it’s nothing.” Zhou Qian unnaturally turned sideways to avoid eye contact with the other party.

“Qian, thank you.” Xia Yubin took two steps forward and walked side by side with him.

As for what to thank for, the two of them had a tacit understanding.

“Uh.” Zhou Qian bowed his head and responded casually.

After going downstairs, Zhou Qian came to the parlour.

Xia Jing and Uncle Zhou were still talking, and when they saw Zhou Qian standing alone in the doorway with an extremely unnatural expression, Zhou said, “Qian, you go first if you have something to do.”

Zhou Qian hesitated a little and glanced out, seeing Xia Yubin heading for the kitchen, he whispered, “No, I have something to say.”

“Go ahead.”

Zhou Qian came in and closed the door behind him, “The first time I stole Qing Shu’s peanuts, it was Yu Bin who brought him to me.”

After these words, Xia Jing and Xia Shan both had varying degrees of anger on their faces.

Zhou Qian hurriedly explained, “At that time, I didn’t know that Qing Shu was your family’s lost child, so I was just teasing him and had no other thoughts, and Yu Bin also had no intention. If I had known Qing Shu’s identity, I would have taken good care of him.”

Zhou Qian inwardly gave Yu Bin a silent apology.

Although he wasn’t exactly breaking his word, the incident of injuring Xia Qingshu was originally instigated by Xia Yubin, but he didn’t give him up, as well as the twenty-five million yuan.

He was already loyal enough.

The first time he stole Xia Qing Shu’s food, he was dragged to have his stomach pumped, just saying this should not affect Xia Yubin much, right?

If you want to blame someone, it should be Xia Qing Shu, that little demon was too tempting and took the initiative to seduce him.

Xia Qing Shu had just promised to be friends with him as long as he told the truth. He tentatively handed over a room card, and the other party accepted it.

The little demon had taken such an initiative, so how could he let it go?

Zhou Qian took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, “Uncle Xia, I will definitely take good care of Qing Shu now.”

Zhou Qian and Xia Yubin had been in a good friends for so many years, but still, the worm in the brain will also subconsciously defend, “The second time bullying …..has nothing to do with Yu Bin, it’s entirely because I had the gastric lavage, and the photos were also put on the forum.  It made me angry so….the second time really has nothing to do with Yu Bin.”

Xia Jing and Xia Shan were not that easy to fool, Yu Bin was also forced to have  his stomach pumped, did he not have a complaint?

The two searched for a moment in their minds and had a judgment in their hearts.

Xia Jing and Xia Shan looked at each other, and the same thought popped into their heads – he was not biological,  and they really were no longer familiar to this calculative Yubin.

Suddenly, Chen Qixi, who was swiping her phone, slammed it down. Unsure of what to do, Xia Jing picked it up and read.

The phrases #China’s richest man Chen Zhiyu’s love affair was revealed# and #Chen Zhiyu’s kept partner# were on thr the hot search.

The news was sent out by a gossip entertainment company, Quanmim Entertainment, which had not been established for long but was extremely good at gaining attention. They were super good at distorting facts to gain attention, and had accumulated tens of millions of followers in just two years.

There are nine photos attached to the news, including a photo of Xia Qingshu getting out of Chen Zhiyu’s car in the school, a photo of the two of them having a meal in Lantang Garden, a photo of Xia Qingshu chasing the bed in the hospital, and a photo of Chen Zhiyu being overwhelmed when he rescued Xia Qingshu. The photo of Xia Qingshu, and the photo of Xia Qingshu accompanying him all night in the ward.

The photos were taken in a blur, but one could vaguely distinguish Xia Qing Shu’s beautiful features.

It was well-known, that Chen Zhiyu is to have a son to inherit the family business. The entire Chen family has only one child, Chen Zhiyu. And Chen’s mother has repeatedly made public the criteria for her daughter-in-law – the ability to have a son is a sufficient and necessary requirement.

This good-looking little boy does not fit the bill in terms of gender in the first place.

Although the post does not explicitly say that Xia Qingshu is being kept, it does emphasize between the lines Chen Zhiyu’s family background, and is accompanied by an interview with Chen Zhiyu at an economic forum recently, in which Chen himself admits to being single and not dating anyone. And the identity of the young man, who has been acting ambiguously with Chen Zhiyu and is a good-looking boy, is self-evident.

Quanmin Entertainment used vague words and phrased, with the identity of Xia Qingshu being implicitly referred to as “kept” and “canary”, while lamenting that rich people can play.

Chen Zhiyu’s nickname is “national boyfriend” and he is the richest man in the world, so his private life attracted extra attention. In just one hour, someone had made up 3,000 words about Chen Zhiyu’s affair, and some good people had picked up Xia Qingshu’s identity, photos of the school grass competition were also posted online.

Xia Qing Shu was already beautiful, especially when he squinted at people, his eyes were hooked and he had a tear mole under his eyes.

He was branded by netizens as a “dangerous girl of calamiyu”.

After Zhou Chuan saw this, he immediately called to withdraw the search.

At the same time, Xia Qingshu’s mobile phone rang with unfamiliar numbers, and he received a lot of private messages on WeChat and Weibo.

It was so clever that Xia Yubin had just told Xia Jing and Xia Shan that Qing Shu had been adopted, and immediately the story was on the search, making people think twice.

Xia Yubin subconsciously clarified, “I didn’t do it.”

However, no matter how he explained, whether he did it or not, Xia Jing and Xia Shan already had a conclusion in their mind -Xia Yubin had nothing to do with this incident.

Xia Yubin went back to his room to pack his clothes. He had to leave this house.

Chen Qixi, Xia Jing, Xia Shan, and Xia Ji, who was far away, were extremely worried when they found out.

When Chen Qixi was in the entertainment industry, the Internet was not so developed, and the black fans were not on a large scale, but in the face of slander and unwarranted criticism, she often lost sleep night at night. Everyone in the Xia family can deeply understand the pain of being splashed with dirty water.

Qing Shu was so young, just out of school and before he had the chance to enter society, he felt a wave of social warmth and coldness.

The photos were then put on the internet to be casually commented on, and he would be pointed at everywhere he went in the future.

In the future, he will fall in love, work and make friends, and the slightest bit of privacy will be picked up and shown to the public, and he will be harassed by people with bad intentions.

Many ordinary people are depressed, misanthropic and even commit suicide after being subjected to online violence.

The Xia family felt distressed beyond words.

It was hard to find their youngest son, and before they could love and make amends, they encountered such a thing again.

After the hot search was removed, the Xia family gathered together and discussed countermeasures overnight, hoping to keep the damage to a minimum.

Xia Qing Shu, who is weak in appearance but not in heart, was lying in bed eating melons with great pleasure.

Xia Qing Shu loves to eat melons, and there is no difference between big and small melons. So he would not be against eating his own melon.

He grew up in the entertainment industry, what kind of battles he has never seen, and the most precious thing in this century is the flow of traffic, he is now in control of the flow of traffic, he can’t be happy enough.

He has become popular for no reason, his Weibo followers have suddenly increased by over a million and are still going up, and they are all live fans, more than the average starlet’s followers.

Chen Zhiyu was a deserved top class in China. Xia Qingshu had countless gossips when he casually scrolled through, and one of the weird comments caught his attention.

@PleaseCallMeYanguo: Love. Lust CP [locked] [locked] [locked] [locked] What a stunning romance this is, a perfect match!!! Perfect match!!! First bullet delivered!!!

There is a picture of a big red wedding room, but the leather/whip candles on the picture were a bit out of place.Xia Qinshu’s hand slipped and clicked into Yangou’s Weibo.

Yanguo is the wife of a fan fiction writer. After seeing the photo of Chen Zhiyu and Xia Qingshu in the same frame, she became a fan. Yan Guo’s speed of 6,000 words per hour was known as the octopus of the literary circle, and she instantly produced a piece of sadomasochistic deep literature.

Xia Qing Shu was greatly shocked.

In the article, his family is poor, his father is addicted to gambling and has huge debts, and his mother is bedridden. In order to pay off his father’s debts and pay for his mother’s high medical bills, Xia Qingshu has no choice but to be sent by his father to the Chen family in the form of a debt settlement, and embarks on a sadistic and heart-breaking emotional entanglement with Chen Zhiyu.

Not long after, Mrs. YanGuo also attached a poignant homoerotic picture.

Clicking on the homoerotic art, it was also accompanied by a poignant ancient-fashioned music piece. Only this fan-fiction was a bit erotic.

Violently, Xia Qingshu shouted, “Fuck!”

“I can still do this”, “This is OK..”

Chen Qixi knocked on Xia Qingshu’s door and saw this scene-the room was dark, and Xia Qing Shu was curled up on the bed, holding his phone in one hand. His body was covered with a sheet, but his body was trembling slightly.

He looks lonely and cold.

When he saw someone enter, he hid the phone under his body in a panic and sat up, his eyes glowing with an unnatural redness, as if he had cried.

Chen Qixi’s heart went numb with pain.
