Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 13 Part 7: Four ([-])
The man was not distracted by him, he just thought it was a fly that flew into the room just now, and continued to talk to Ren Ningyuan wholeheartedly: "I, Qiao Si, am also a person who cherishes talents, but it is a pity that you are too unruly. You hurt me so much. There are many people, spoiling my place and ruining my business," the man put one hand on the palm of the other and tapped lightly, "A newborn calf."

Ren Ningyuan didn't say anything, just adjusted a more comfortable posture on the chair.

"Do you think I should teach you a lesson?"

The wording was quite polite, but when it came out of his mouth, it made people feel eerie.

Qu Tongqiu yelled, and watched him stretch out his fingers in horror, his nails were well rounded, and slowly poked towards Ren Ningyuan's eyes.

Ren Ningyuan didn't blink his eyes, but kept a slight frown.

Qiao's four fingers almost poked his eyeballs, stopped for a while, then put them down again, and then smiled at Ren Ningyuan.

"What a pair of eyes."

Qu Tongqiu broke out in a cold sweat, his body was limp, his heart was still beating, he tried his best to turn his head, but he couldn't think of any way to rescue Ren Ningyuan from this place.

"It's a pity that such a handsome young man is so blind." Qiao Si laughed again, spread his five fingers apart, and touched Ren Ningyuan's cheek, "You look really good."

Qu Tongqiu almost didn't jump up, even Ren Ningyuan's expression was a little shaken, and his brows frowned even tighter: "What are you doing?"

Qiao Si smiled more ambiguously, and waved his hands, and the big men retreated to the door consciously and closed the door.

Qu Tongqiu was tied up and thrown in a corner. Seeing Qiao Si reach out to touch Ren Ningyuan again, he was so shocked that his head was sweating, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

No matter what Qiao Si was boasting about, Ren Ningyuan only said: "You will regret it." Then he stopped talking.

Qu Tongqiu's heart was in a mess, and he tried his best to free the cloth on his wrist.

When he was tied up, he intentionally opened his hands a little. For a coward like him, most people wouldn't be too vigilant, and didn't pay attention to his subtle tricks.

There was a gap in the binding, and he tried desperately to pull out his hand, rubbing it against the hard object behind his back repeatedly, until his wrist was scratched, and he didn't feel any pain. He finally broke free with all his strength. .

Qiao Si turned his back to him, looking at Ren Ningyuan wholeheartedly.

Qu Tongqiu held his breath, struggled to get up, tore off the rag from his mouth, and wobbled over.

Qiao Si turned his head immediately when he heard the movement, and before he could make a move, Qu Tongqiu, with some strength and speed, picked up a chair and smashed it hard on his head.

Qiao Si didn't have time to make a sound, so he fell face down on the floor and fell silent for a while.

Qu Tongqiu stared at the unconscious body, his whole body was stiff, as if he was sleepwalking, he was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly woke up, he hurriedly untied Ren Ningyuan, the previous evil spirit had disappeared without a trace, and his fingers were all slapping trembling.

"Boss..."

Ren Ningyuan motioned him to whisper, then squatted down, sniffed the man's breath, and said to the pale-faced Qu Tongqiu, "Don't be afraid, you didn't kill anyone, he's still alive."

Qu Tongqiu was still trembling, his legs trembling.

Ren Ningyuan stood up, leaned over slightly, and pinched his shoulders with both hands: "You did a good job. Chu Mo will bring someone here soon, and we will be fine. Listen, when you leave here, you will drop out of school immediately , pack up your things as soon as possible, and take Yang Miao back to her hometown."

Qu Tongqiu didn't have time to prepare anything, so he followed Ren Ningyuan's arrangement and left City S in a daze.

Ren Ningyuan took care of the withdrawal procedures for him later on, and Ren Ningyuan helped take care of the aftermath of Yang Miao's resignation.

He wasn't sure how Qiao Si was injured, and he didn't know how things turned out in the end, and he didn't even have time to say "goodbye" to Ren Ningyuan.

He was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to look back.

The days when I returned to my hometown went from shock and chaos at the beginning, family members angrily rebuked and opposed, the two sides saw-saw at a stalemate, and finally accepted reluctantly and helplessly, and finally gradually got on track.

After resigning to the fact that they will be promoted to grandparents early, the parents of both parties began to meet formally, prepare for the wedding, bargain for various details, and argue endlessly.

Whether it is pleasant planning or unpleasant negotiation, life is full of busyness after all.Although it is not very gorgeous, like an old pumpkin cart, it still carries him and her, rumbling slowly towards the family life in the adult world.

Since Qu Tongqiu left S City, he hasn't received any news from Ren Ningyuan.Ren Ningyuan told him not to take the initiative to contact, just wait, so he waited obediently.But day after day, he became more and more anxious, and when the wedding date was set, he still couldn't help it, so he asked Yang Miao to send a text message, telling Ren Ningyuan about the wedding appointment, and by the way, how is it going recently.

However, after Ren Ningyuan answered "Yes" briefly, there was no news again.Even if Qu Tongqiu was on the phone at home whenever he was free, none of the calls he received were from Ren Ningyuan.

No matter how good a person is at waiting, he gradually feels hopeless. He even starts to miss Chu Mo, let alone Ren Ningyuan.

Thinking that there was still a short period of time to get along with Ren Ningyuan and bid farewell, but unexpectedly dropped out of school early, I felt sad and regretful.

But I can't get back those precious few days. I just hope that Ren Ningyuan can think of him one day in his busy schedule and come to the countryside to see him.

On this day, Qu Tongqiu got up early as usual, and took a broom to clear the leaves from the road in front of the door.After sweeping, a figure could be seen coming from the other side of the road in the faint mist. Qu Tongqiu held the broom and looked at it for a while, but he couldn't even see the outline clearly, but his heartbeat gradually picked up.

"Boss!"

Although he didn't hear the answer and couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, he felt that this must be it, so he threw away the broom regardless of 21 and [-], and ran forward desperately to meet him.

Finally running close to the man, the man's eyes and features covered with morning mist became clear, Qu Tongqiu felt his heart beating, his throat was choked and his face was hot with unspeakable surprise and longing.

Ren Ningyuan stopped his footsteps, and he almost stopped, gasping for breath.

The two stood facing each other for a few seconds, he was full of joy, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, he wanted to put them on Ren Ningyuan, but that was wrong, so he could only stick his hands to his sides, staring at Ren Ningyuan eagerly, speechless.

Ren Ningyuan didn't make a sound, and the two looked at each other for a long time, eye to eye.

"Boss."

"Ah."

"Old, boss..."

"Ah."

Qu Tongqiu felt so happy that he almost choked up, and there was a warm touch on the top of his head. It was Ren Ningyuan who touched his head.

Not caring about sweeping the floor, Qu Tongqiu joyfully led Ren Ningyuan home, introduced him quickly, then pulled a chair for Ren Ningyuan to sit in, and found some food to treat him.

Although the parents are strict with their son, they are still simple, polite and enthusiastic to the guests who come from afar.Ren Ningyuan was silent and polite, sitting and drinking tea, still not talking much, just raised his eyes and looked around, and he seemed to see through all the people in this house.

"When is the wedding?"

"Seven days later, it will be a good day according to the almanac."

"Already almost ready?"

"Yeah..." Qu Tongqiu was a little shy as he was about to become a man.

The mother urged enthusiastically on the side: "Aqiu, take your classmate to see the new house and see if it is well furnished."

Ren Ningyuan really put down his glass and followed him upstairs.

In fact, the wedding room was Qu Tongqiu's former bedroom, which had been repainted and furnished.

Talking about getting married so hastily, really can't come up with any tricks, at least not like my parents planned before, buying a new house in a big city after a few years, or adding a new floor to my building for the wedding. .Fortunately, Yang Miao was very considerate about this.

Qu Tongqiu showed Ren Ningyuan the newly added dressing table, wardrobe, and double bed in the room.The color and style of the furniture are well-regulated and festive, with the words Double Happiness pasted on it, and ribbons hanging from the ceiling, it looks like a new house without compromise.

"Do you look okay?"

Ren Ningyuan gave a "hmm", looked up and looked around, and then looked at the bed.The bedding on it was also new, neatly folded.

"I won't sleep here for a few days," Qu Tongqiu explained, "I have to save this for the wedding night, and now I sleep in the downstairs room." Then he sat on the edge of the bed, "This newly bought mat is really soft Well, boss, do you want to sit and watch?"

Ren Ningyuan took a look at him and sat down too. Qu Tongqiu deliberately turned upside down so that Ren Ningyuan could also feel the elasticity of the cushion.The two sat side by side on the big bed in the new house, although they didn't talk much, Qu Tongqiu felt peaceful and happy like this.

"Boss, will you live here for a few days?"

"Well, to attend your wedding."

Qu Tongqiu was overjoyed: "Then I'll clean up for you later, it's very cool to sleep here at night." In small towns, there is no shortage of beds for overnight guests.

"No, I'm staying in a hotel."

"Ah..." Qu Tongqiu felt a little disappointed, "It's good to live in my house, you don't need to spend that money..."

Ren Ningyuan smiled: "How are the preparations for the wedding banquet? Is the hotel booked?"

"We plan to hold the wedding banquet at home."

The houses in small towns are spacious, and there is a lot of space. When the time comes, borrow the yards of the neighbors, rent a dozen sets of tables and chairs, and dozens of sets of bowls, chopsticks, and plates. Let the chefs in the village come to cook, and relatives near and far will come to buy and help. Helping to run the hall, the wedding ceremony was organized lively.

Ren Ningyuan frowned slightly after listening to his explanation, and said: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so shabby. Let's be serious."

"Uh, but..."

Holding it in a hotel is decent and convenient, but it costs too much.The parents of both parties are not very happy about this marriage, and naturally they don't want to spend too much money and increase the burden, as long as everything can be done and it can be done in a stable manner.

To be honest, his parents only prepared tuition fees for him, but they were far from saving up the expenses for marrying a wife and having children; and he was only a student a few days ago, and he still has no financial means to speak of.Although I feel sorry for Yang Miao, I can only do what I can.

"Don't worry about the cost, I will help you with the part that is not enough."

Qu Tongqiu was surprised by such generosity and turned to look at him.Ren Ningyuan's tone was flat as always: "This is what it should be. I can't let you call me the boss for so long."

Things were a little unbelievable, but Ren Ningyuan spoke with magic power. Unconsciously, everyone followed his train of thought, and the elders were hypnotically persuaded by him.

So the undecided things were soon settled one by one, and the hotel table reservations were started to further arrange the wedding process.Whenever they want to make a decision, everyone will want to ask the opinion of this strange big boy, because he has vision, insight, thoughtful thinking, and courage in every move...Unknowingly becoming Ren Ningyuan is the wedding host.

According to the custom, it is difficult for the bride and groom to see each other during this period. The bride stays at her mother's house, and most of the things are left to the man. Qu Tongqiu follows Ren Ningyuan who is in charge of the overall situation all day long.

And when preparing for the wedding, he can also take Ren Ningyuan to taste local snacks, buy fresh picked fruits and peel them for Ren Ningyuan to eat, take Ren Ningyuan to look around the scenery, fold branches and leaves to make hats for Ren Ningyuan to shade, and take banana leaves Fanning for Ren Ningyuan...

Having known each other for so long, even though Ren Ningyuan didn't express much, Qu Tongqiu could already tell the difference between happiness and unhappiness, interest and impatience under that faint expression.During this period of time when the two were together, Ren Ningyuan seemed to be in a good mood most of the time. Sensing this, Qu Tongqiu also felt extremely happy and satisfied.

This way of facing each other day and night, getting along peacefully and harmoniously like in school, calling Ren Ningyuan the "boss", and being by his side is just like what Qu Tongqiu dreamed about before, like taking those few days that were unexpectedly missing. Added the same.

Time passed quickly, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the wedding.

Qu Tongqiu thought of the coming-of-age wedding the next day, like all grooms with premarital syndrome, he was so nervous that he could fidget.

After helping to prepare the last details, Ren Ningyuan got up to go back to the hotel to rest after eating snacks at his house.

Qu Tongqiu sent him to the gate, followed him for a while, and finally couldn't help but said, "Boss, will you stay at my house tonight?"

Ren Ningyuan said "Huh?" and looked back at him.

"We're getting married here, and we're going to warm up the house tonight. The bed in the new house is very clean and big. We sleep together..."

Ren Ningyuan coughed, smiled and shook his head: "It's not convenient for me. Isn't it more appropriate to find your cousin?"

Qu Tongqiu felt his nose sore when he opened his mouth: "Boss, you are going back tomorrow. I won't see you in the future."

Ren Ningyuan didn't speak, and stood in front of him for a while before saying, "Let's go."

Except for the bridegroom, the one who warmed the room was not accompanied by his younger brothers and nephews, and the one who pressed the bed was a stranger instead. This was somewhat unconventional, but as long as he was with Ren Ningyuan, Qu Tongqiu would be happy.

The two of them were lying on the large new bed. The mattress was as soft and comfortable as Qu Tongqiu imagined, but for some reason, they couldn't fall asleep with their eyes open.

Originally, they hoped that the two of them could talk more on the night before they parted, but Ren Ningyuan didn't intend to talk. With his back turned to him, he seemed to have fallen asleep early.

Qu Tongqiu looked at his back with the faint light of the street lamp outside, and felt very uncomfortable when he couldn't bear to part with him, so he couldn't help getting closer, and then closer.

I posted them together, but I didn't know what to do, and I didn't dare to do anything.He could only turn over and put his back against Ren Ningyuan's.Feeling the warm and firm touch, I finally fell asleep slowly.

When he woke up in a daze before dawn, Qu Tongqiu found himself in Ren Ningyuan's arms again, wrapping around Ren Ningyuan in the posture of an octopus.However, Ren Ningyuan didn't seem to have woken up yet, his breathing was steady and his face was calm.

There was silence all around, and the breeze coming in from the window was very gentle and cool. Thinking of Ren Ningyuan being so tolerant and gentle, he plucked up his courage for the first time in his life, so he hugged Ren Ningyuan carefully, thinking that at least in this life, he should be with the person he admired the most. A man gets close once, and then goes on with his sleep a little nervously.

The next day passed perfectly smoothly and peacefully.

After Ren Ningyuan got up, he didn't care about his faux pas in his sleep. The wedding ceremony was also perfect. He received the bride on time without any trouble. Join us, and even the parents who were displeased at first smiled at them in this kind of happy and festive atmosphere.

When the wedding banquet was about to end, the couple went to the hotel entrance to see off the guests. Ren Ningyuan also checked out and settled the bill, and said goodbye to them.

"I forgot just now, this is gift money."

Qu Tongqiu declined in shock: "Boss, there's no need..."

"It's what I should give."

Ren Ningyuan was very gentle and polite, but Qu Tongqiu had the red envelope stuffed in his hand, and for some reason, he vaguely felt that Ren Ningyuan was drawing a line with him.

"Boss..."

He was still a little scared and didn't know what to say, but Ren Ningyuan had already walked away.

Wedding should be a time of great joy.

But thinking of Ren Ningyuan who gave up his studies and traveled far away, for some reason, he felt extremely sad.

"Boss!"

Ren Ningyuan didn't look back, but waved slightly at him.
