Those Years of Love Chapter 3

The rain was getting heavier, and the view was blurry, with a white mist of raindrops. Brian's nose moved slightly, and he smelled the scent of the land and grass wet by the rain. Du Heze held an umbrella, and his trouser legs got wet after walking a short distance, and his steps were somewhat awkward; but the young man beside him was still calm, with his eyes downcast, and a dripping water color reflected in his eyes.

When he reached the corridor, he raised his eyes and called softly, "Master Xia."

The voice is also faint.

It must be said that good looks are indeed a great advantage. Even though Brian knew that this was a real scheming lotus, he could not be on guard because of his appearance, and even couldn't help wanting to get close to him.

He corrected Alex: "Call me brother."

Du Heze, who was shaking the raindrops off his umbrella, widened his eyes when he heard this and glanced at Brian.

Alex's expression did not change much. He just raised his eyes slightly, looked at the young man with a noble and solemn temperament, and obediently changed his words according to what the other party said.

"elder brother."

call out------

Brian remained expressionless, and when he turned around, he immediately covered his heart.

system:【???】

[It’s over,] Brian said, [I’ve been hit by the sugar-coated bullet of capitalism.]

This sound is so sweet that it touches my heart!

The system looked down on his lack of ambition: [No one has ever called you brother before? ]

Brian was strangely silent. After a while, he said: [The premise for someone to call me brother is that there must be someone around me...]

He stopped talking and walked into the living room. The system suddenly felt uneasy and stopped asking questions.

Old Master Xia left early in the morning, obviously not intending to save face for this illegitimate child. Brian had no choice but to hold the scene alone, sitting next to Alex and asking about his situation.

Alex has just become an adult. As he started school late, he is still in his third year of high school. He has good grades, especially in mathematics. He has won awards in provincial competitions, so it is not a problem for him to study key subjects. Like other old cadres, Kou also likes such good children with good grades. The more he asked, the softer his expression became. Finally, he asked softly, "How many points did you get in the political science exam?"

[......] The system covered its face, unable to bear to watch any further.

The boy's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he couldn't react to why he was asked such a question. After a while, he said, "One point away from full marks."

Brian's envious eyes immediately locked onto him, and he patted his shoulder again.

"That's great..." he said wistfully, "Come on, do a good job."

Du Heze coughed on the opposite side, a little confused.

no......

It's just an exam. Is it necessary to look at others with such a passionate look like "Ahhh, I wish I was replaced by you. I'm so envious"?

Little did he know that Brian was even more sad.

He protested in his heart: [He is a young boy who can study in school, but I can only be a decadent rich second generation! ]

The system was silent for a moment, and then answered him concisely: [The original body thinks this is cooler. ]

So cool!

Brian almost choked up!

The nanny prepared dinner, which was very light, with porridge and vegetables, without even a drop of oil. Du Heze stayed to eat together, and when he saw the food, he couldn't help but frowned and looked at Brian several times.

He stretched out his chopsticks and tasted it, and it wasn't even too salty.

Du Heze usually had a life of luxury, but he immediately felt he couldn't eat anymore. He frowned and called Wang Ma, who was cooking, over. His voice contained a hint of authority from a superior: "What's wrong with the dish today?"

The nanny folded her hands on her apron, looked at Du Heze with a hint of contempt, and said nothing.

"Speak up!" Du Heze was hurt by her eyes and felt that he had lost face. "Are you dumb, or do you not want to do it anymore?"

Old cadre Kou put down his chopsticks gently and looked up at him: "How could I not know that you still have the power to fire her?"

"......"Du Heze was stunned.

He really didn't have the power. If he was in front of Old Master Xia, he would never say such a thing.

He is just a guest, and his family background is far inferior to that of the Xia family. Wouldn't it be like stealing the show by saying it out loud?

But now there were only Brian and Alex at the table, and Brian always obeyed him, so Du Heze never expected that he would be refuted. He gasped heavily for a while, and even his breathing was a little disordered.

"I ordered you to do that," Brian picked up a piece of winter melon and put it into Alex's bowl, saying calmly, "What's wrong?"

Alex usually likes to eat winter melon. When he saw this piece go into his bowl, he lowered his head slightly to hide the thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Qingran," Du Heze slowed down his voice, "I know you may be upset, but targeting Xiaoji like this is really too much..."

Brian felt like he had heard a huge joke.

"I'm targeting him?"

He asked back.

"Why?"

Are you kidding! These are his future allies, the flowers of the motherland, the future of the nation, and the new generation of backbone forces in building socialism!!!

Du Heze said: "Why else? It's because of Xiaoji's identity------"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Brian raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression.

"Why, you don't know?"

Du Heze was stunned. What did he know?

Brian patted the boy's head, then turned to look at Du Heze meaningfully, speaking slowly and with a long tail tone: "Xiao Ji has a bad stomach and can't eat meat."

Why would Du Heze care about these things? His face suddenly turned ugly. After a long while, he managed a smile and said, "So that's how it is."

This feeling was really strange. He watched Brian personally serve soup and pick up dishes for Alex. The two of them were smiling and chatting with each other, as if Brian couldn't see him at all. He just felt aggrieved.

On one side is the old love, on the other side is the new love. Du Heze originally thought that at most Brian would be jealous, and he would just coax her later and that would be it.

But looking at the situation now...how come this old love understands this new love better than I do?

Little did he know that Brian was also sighing to Alex in his heart.

Silly child, did you see that? This man doesn't care about you at all!

This is not some dmn true love - I will definitely teach you well in the future and tell you that only by serving the people infinitely can you achieve eternity!

------

After dinner, Brian started watching the news broadcast at a fixed time. Du Heze felt pain in his balls and his eyes twitched slightly when he watched this program, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to win the favor of the little beauty, so he still sat on the sofa and talked to Alex from time to time.

When the doorbell rang suddenly, Brian's eyes were still fixed on the TV. The nanny ran over to open the door, and soon dragged a huge express box into the living room and asked, "Master, is this what you bought?"

Brian suddenly got excited and stood up immediately: "Yes!"

He glanced at Du Heze and said, "Don't leave yet. There's something in there for you."

Du Heze was delighted and stood up as well, following his steps to look inside the box. With a smile on his lips, he thought that Brian still cared about him as much as before, and he felt that the big stone that had been hanging in his heart for the past few days was relieved a lot.

He picked up the small box that Brian handed to him. It was heavy and very substantial.

What will it be?

Xia Qingran often bought things for Du Heze before. He was generous, especially to his childhood sweetheart. He often bought Du Heze what he used. The two million watch hanging loosely on Du Heze's wrist was made by Xia Qingran. He held the box and looked at the watch on his hand, and couldn't help but feel more expectant.

After a moment, Du Heze opened the lid of the box and was immediately blinded by a large area of ​​dazzling red.

What kind of red is that? It must be the red dyed with the blood of revolutionary martyrs, it must be the red picked from the five-star red flag. They are shining brightly, dazzling people's eyes, and they are neatly arranged. "Ideology and Morality"???"

Du Heze's voice suddenly became louder.

The red star on the cover was shining brightly, like a bright red mouth grinning in mockery.

Du Heze was silent for a moment, then chuckled, then reached out his hand and looked down - it couldn't be that this box was filled entirely with "Ideology and Morality" textbooks, right?

After a moment, he withdrew his hand in despair.

It’s really fcuking true. All of them.

From elementary school to high school, I have covered every book.

The whole living room was filled with deathly silence. In Brian's brain, the system successfully smiled at the sgumbag's dull face like a psychopath. In this weird atmosphere, only Brian continued to open the boxes with great interest, taking out the things inside one by one.

Alex stood up at some point, stretched out his hand and unfolded a red banner on the ground, on which were printed five bright characters:

Serve the people.

He looked at Brian deeply, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Brian was still pulling out books. When he had pulled out a thick stack of exam books, Du Heze couldn't help it and asked, "Qingran, why did you buy these books?"

"Administrative Professional Competency Test", "30 Sets of Essay Writing", "Semi-Monthly Talks"... If he read it correctly, these are all books for the civil service examination. Now in this room, Grandpa Xia has retired long ago, but is still working in the company; Brian, a third-generation rich man, has also entered his own company for training and is about to take over Grandpa Xia's job.

He really couldn't understand who among them needed to take the civil service exam.

It couldn't be that he bought it for Alex as a precaution, right?

Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled again, secretly wondering if Brian was warning Alex not to touch the family property. It was common for the children of wealthy families to fight overtly and covertly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

It must be like this.

"What else can you do?" Brian looked at Du Heze strangely, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person. "Of course, take the exam!"

Du Heze asked: "Who?"

"No one else," Brian said, "just me."

"......"

"......"

The moment he uttered these three words, the living room was once again filled with deathly silence.

......Wow.
