Source Of Calamity - Ch 13
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 NYXBIRD LEAVE A COMMENT
After waking up with a hangover, Shen Zhen found that when everyone in the Qin family looked at him, their eyes were full of desire to talk, not just one person, but all of them.
All of these people seemed to want to say something to him, but none of them opened their mouths in the end.
So Shen Zhen remained expressionless, with a bunch of question marks in his heart.
You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )
“Eldest Brother.” Shen Zhen met Qin Yue at the corner, stopped and said hello.
Qin Yue stood in front of Shen Zhen, the look in his eyes were very complicated, and his brows were also furrowed: “Xiao Zhen, come with me, I have something to ask you.”
Shen Zhen made no expression. He followed Qin Yue into the nearest guest room, sat on the sofa, and looked at Qin Yue who had his arms crossed over his chest while leaning against the table.
“Do you know what time you came back last night?” Qin Yue’s tone was not good.
Shen Zhen: “I remember it was nine past twenty when I got in the car.”
Qin Yue sneered: “It was almost twelve o’clock when you came back.”
“Do you know how you got back?”
Shen Zhen’s temper also rose: “I drank too much and fell asleep in the car. Maybe there was a traffic jam, or the road was being repaired and we had to take a detour. How did I get back? I came back by car, or are you saying that I drank too much and sleepwalk back?”
Qin Yue squeezed out a sentence between his lips and teeth: “Uncle carried you in, did you know?”
Shen Zhen froze there and his mind went blank, Uncle Qin carried him back? No wonder everyone who saw him today had a hesitant look.
Qin Yue stepped over and grabbed Shen Zhen’s wrist: “Shen Zhen, I never asked you about the banquet before, you are an adult, you know what you are doing, and I will pretend that nothing happened. “
“What right do you have to pretend nothing happened?” Shen Zhen retorted, “Have you asked me? Do you know what happened that night? What position do you have to pretend it happened or didn’t happen?”
Qin Yue laughed angrily: “What’s my position?”
Shen Zhen looked at him, and the two glared at each other, like two angry lions, all the fur on their bodies standing on end, ready to fight at any time.
“What’s going on between you and Uncle?” Qin Yue stepped back first. He gradually calmed down, walked to the coffee table, picked up the ashtray, placed it next to him, and lit a cigarette.
As the smoke spread, Shen Zhen also calmed down.
Shen Zhen: “Uncle Qin is an elder.”
Qin Yue smiled: “I’ve always wondered why Uncle never cared about you before, but recently he began to keep you by his side.”
Shen Zhen also smiled: “Probably it’s because Uncle suddenly found out about my good side.”
“What happened between you and Uncle, I don’t want to know. Uncle is an elder. In the future, if someone knows about it at most, they would say that Uncle likes both men and women, but you?”
Shen Zhen sneered: “The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom, and the obscene sees obscenity. Qin Yue, I don’t need to tell you what kind of person Uncle is. Even if Uncle likes men, he wouldn’t like me.”
The two stared at each other silently.
“Shen Zhen.” Qin Yue tilted his head, “I know you don’t like Shi Qing, I’ll have him go back to the Su family. This matter will be turned over, okay?”
Shen Zhen suddenly lost his words. In his last life, Su Shiqing had always been the biggest obstacle between him and Qin Yue. Qin Yue at that time also knew that, but Qin Yue never mentioned sending Su Shiqing back.
But now, this biggest obstacle was like a joke, Qin Yue said he didn’t want it just like that.
Shen Zhen seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned against the sofa and looked at the ceiling. He asked Qin Yue, “Don’t you love Su Shiqing?”
Qin Yue put out the cigarette, but there was no emotion in his eyes: “Love?”
“I asked the wrong question.” Shen Zhen stood up, “If you want to send Su Shiqing back, do it, or not.”
Qin Yue: “I’ll send Su Shiqing back, and you will keep your distance from Uncle in the future.”
Shen Zhen turned his head and asked him mockingly, “You put Uncle Qin and Su Shiqing together on the same level?”
Qin Yue said with a cold face, “Don’t put words in my mouth, Xiao Zhen, just treat it as if there was no Su Shiqing and no Uncle, we will be the same as before.”
“What’s the same?” Shen Zhen and Qin Yue faced each other. They were about the same height, but Shen Zhen was thin, while Qin Yue was bigger and stronger.
Qin Yue sighed: “Xiao Zhen, you don’t like Su Shiqing, I’ll send him away, I’m willing to compromise for you, don’t you want me to compromise for you?”
Shen Zhen had a headache. He didn’t mind shedding all pretenses of cordiality with Qin Yue, but not now: “I don’t want to talk about this, I’ll go out first.”
Just as Shen Zhen turned around, Qin Yue grabbed Shen Zhen’s arm, and Shen Zhen was thrown onto the bed next to them.
Qin Yue pressed down on him.
Shen Zhen asked, “Qin Yue, what are you doing?”
He didn’t struggle, there was no anger or fear in his eyes, he looked at Qin Yue calmly, as if he was looking at a clown jumping on a beam.
They were very close, nose to nose, less than a centimeter apart, and they could even feel the heat of each other’s exhalation.
Shen Zhen could smell the smoke on Qin Yue’s breath.
He used to like this smell and Qin Yue’s scent very much.
But at this moment, the smell made him nauseous and made him want to vomit.
Qin Yue looked into Shen Zhen’s eyes: “I want you to listen to me quietly.”
Shen Zhen tilted his head: “Speak, then let me get up after you finish.”
“I am willing to keep Su Shiqing because I need such a person by my side.” Qin Yue said, “You can’t be that kind of role.”
Qin Yue’s tone gradually softened: “We grew up together and studied together. You know me and I know you.”
“It’s just a mere Su Shiqing.” Qin Yue’s voice became lower and lower.
Qin Yue’s strength holding him down became weaker, and Shen Zhen was just about to push him away.
The door to the room suddenly opened.
He heard Qin Meng’s voice outside the door, tremblingly calling out, “Youngest Uncle”.
Qin Yue and Shen Zhen turned their heads at the same time, and what they saw was Qin Xing standing at the door. He was wearing a pair of gold rimmed glasses and a white button down shirt, looking at them expressionlessly.
Qin Yue immediately got up and said, “Uncle.”
Shen Zhen also stood up, straightened his clothes, lowered his head and said, “Uncle Qin.”
“What are you two doing?” Qin Xing asked with a smile, but his eyes were cold.
Shen Zhen walked behind Qin Xing in an instant, as if he and Qin Yue had become two camps.
Qin Yue: “I was just chatting with Xiao Zhen, we’re joking around.”
The smile on Qin Xing’s mouth was still in place: “You are also getting older, and I think the business in T City has gone on track. You can go there tomorrow.”
Qin Yue: “Uncle!”
Qin Xing: “What? You don’t want to go?”
Qin Yue clenched his fists tightly, his nails sinking into the flesh: “No.”
Qin Yue was left in the guest room, but Shen Zhen followed Qin Xing away. Qin Meng winked at Shen Zhen from the side, and the two slowly kept a certain distance from Qin Xing. After confirming that Qin Xing could not hear, only then did Qin Meng whisper to Shen Zhen, “Scared me to death, I thought Youngest Uncle was going to beat up Eldest Brother.”
Shen Zhen didn’t speak, but his face was not good either.
Qin Meng: “I saw Eldest Brother drag you into the guest room. I thought you two were quarreling. When I met Youngest Uncle, I mentioned it casually. You two wouldn’t really be quarreling in there, would you? Did you two fight?”
Shen Zhen shook his head: “We didn’t fight.”
Qin Meng patted his chest: “That’s good, I’m just afraid that you would be beaten up by Eldest Brother.”
Shen Zhen asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you afraid that I would beat him up?”
Qin Meng glanced at Shen Zhen up and down, with an expression of “don’t you know how much you weigh yourself”: “Look at your arm, Eldest Brother’s arm is almost bigger than your thigh.”
Shen Zhen: “…..You’re exaggerating.”
Qin Meng said with a smile: “In any case, it should at least be as thick as your calf.”
“Youngest Uncle really cares about you.” Qin Meng was envious. “Youngest Uncle carried you back last night. Not like me. Since I was five years old, Youngest Uncle never carried me again.”
Shen Zhen wanted to say “that’s because you were too fat when you were young”, but after thinking about it, he refrained from giving Qin Meng the blow.
Qin Meng had a burning heart for gossip, and he asked curiously, “Why was Eldest Brother arguing with you, is it about Su Shiqing?”
Shen Zhen: “What’s this got to do with Su Shiqing?”
Qin Meng’s eyes widened: “Don’t you know? He ran to Eldest Aunt and Eldest Aunt scolded Eldest Brother because of him, and insisted that Eldest Brother send him away immediately.”
After speaking, Qin Meng was quite happy for Shen Zhen: “With him gone, you and Eldest Brother…..heihei…..”
Shen Zhen pushed Qin Meng’s forehead with a finger: “Silence is a virtue.”
No wonder Qin Yue said that he would send Su Shiqing away, it turned out that Qin Xin had spoken.
That guy just wanted to reap an extra favir from him.
Shen Zhen and Qin Meng followed Qin Xing to the hall. There were snacks on the table. Qin Meng sat down on the sofa, eating very quickly, but Shen Zhen had no appetite and couldn’t eat, so he sat aside and looked at his phone.
“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing raised his chin to Shen Zhen, “Come over to Uncle.”
Shen Zhen walked over and stood beside Qin Xing in a standard posture like standing guard.
“Ah Yue bullied you?” Qin Xing beckoned. Shen Zhen leaned down and Qin Xing’s hand pinched Shen Zhen’s earlobe, his tone gentle, “Uncle will give you justice.”
Shen Zhen closed his eyes: “He didn’t bully me, it’s just that our ideas don’t match.”
Qin Xing smiled: “You two grew up together, yet there are actually times when your ideas don’t match?”
Shen Zhen was also a little tired: “Uncle, we are all grown up and have our own ideas.”
Qin Xing suddenly said, “Xiao Zhen, Uncle asked Ah Yue to go to T City, do you want to join the company?”
Shen Zhen raised his head, his eyes lit up, and there seemed to be light in his eyes: “Uncle?”
He almost lost his voice, the surprise was so great that his heart was pounding fiercely.
Qin Xing’s hand kneaded Shen Zhen’s earlobe, but Shen Zhen’s attention was not on it at all. Qin Xing smiled like any generous elder, looking at Shen Zhen with encouraging eyes: “But you have to start from the bottom level.”
Shen Zhen took a deep breath in excitement and wanted to hug Qin Xing and give him a kiss.
“Take your time, don’t rush.” Qin Xing smiled, “I won’t be giving you the green light.”
You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )
Shen Zhen: “Uncle, I understand!”
Qin Xing picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and smiled: “Don’t disappoint Uncle.”
At this moment, Shen Zhen felt that even if someone asked him to call Qin Xing ‘Daddy’, he would still be able to call it, and he would definitely call it willingly and sincerely.
