"Your father said that in front of her?" Xu Xilin picked up the teacup and heard something quite new during the break.

He had only met Dou Junliang once or twice, so they didn't know each other. However, judging from Dou Xun's retelling, this naughty kid was quite like his father.

Dou Xun was lying on his bed, flipping through a book. "That woman's face was as green as grass. I don't think Dou Junliang likes her that much."

Xu Xilin shook his head and used Grandma Xu as an example: "My grandma is so fed up with Zheng Shuo, but she never said that to him."

"Really?" Dou Xun looked up blankly, "No? I think she treats Zheng Shuo quite well."

Xu Xilin didn't know how to explain to him the issues of "giving others a way out" and "not hitting someone in the face", so he had to skip it for now: "What did you say?"

Dou Xun said in a good mood: "I didn't say anything. Seeing that woman was so angry, I just sneered."

Xu Xilin: “…”

Dou Xun's concept of money is limited to his daily living expenses. It is a residual obligation of his parents, which is related to the kinship between them. It is the proof that he still has parents now and will have the obligation to support them in the future.

Apart from this, Dou Xun never thought about other properties, nor did he think that thing had anything to do with him.

His self-esteem and emotions are still largely at the spiritual stage and are not linked to houses and cars.

Xu Xilin pulled his stiff back and continued to bury his head in the work at hand - he was drafting a cooperation contract. He was a student majoring in electronic information and automation. Since entering school, he had only learned a lot of basic courses that he didn't know if they were useful or not. He hadn't even started his major yet, let alone the law school next door. He had no choice but to find a contract template on the Internet and dug out many of Xu Jin's previous professional books, slowly working on it bit by bit.

"Your father is not stupid. He knows that the woman is attracted by his money and does not treat the couple who got married halfway as his own family. Her child has not been born yet. To put it bluntly, the DNA test cannot be done yet, so he will not give her anything. But it is different for you. Even if you don't care about him in the future, his blood flows in your body, and the property will not flow to outsiders." Xu Xilin explained to him what Dou Junliang was thinking, and then said, "Besides, he may also want to compensate you. If he really gives it to you, you can accept it with peace of mind. There is no loss."

Dou Xun strongly disagreed with this view. He had his own set of principles - Dou Junliang and Zhu Xiaocheng paid to raise him to this age and sent him to school, and in the future he would also pay for their medical treatment, medicine, and elderly care. They had fulfilled their legal and moral obligations to each other, and then they owed each other nothing.

Apart from this, Dou Xun didn't want to accept anything from either of them, because if he accepted something extra, he would have to give back extra feelings, which would mean that he had "given in" and "forgiven".

However, saying this would lead to an argument, and Dou Xun didn't want to quarrel with Xu Xilin recently, so he kept silent.

He got up, glanced at what Xu Xilin was busy with, and reached out to pick up the promotional posters and card samples he brought back from the printing factory - they looked quite realistic. Xu Xilin was using VIP cards as a promotion and wanted to distribute them in the school. Those who got the card could log in and register with the card number and enjoy a month of free service fees.

Xu Xilin: "How is it?"

Dou Xunxin said, "Not very good. They won't buy it after the discount period is over."

But he didn't say anything and glanced at the book he had just read. He bought it at a small bookstall on his way home. It was called "How to Maintain Your Love". It was a book collected from various expired chicken soups. Although Dou Xun felt that it was a piece of rubbish, given that he always failed in this area, he had no choice but to hold his nose and learn humbly.

I just read the first chapter, which talks about how to express yourself. The first principle is to use a "positive" way of speaking as much as possible.

So Dou Xun paused for a moment and said insincerely, "It's very... uh... creative."

Xu Xilin was waiting for him to rant, but after waiting for a long time, he heard this sentence. He almost thought Dou Xun was mocking him: "Ah?"

Dou Xun really couldn't think of anything else to praise it. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally managed to say, "It's... pretty good-looking."

Xu Xilin obviously didn't understand his encouraging spirit. He frowned and stared at Dou Xun for a moment: "It's okay, just say whatever you want to say."

Dou Xun didn't dare. They had just reconciled. Dou Xun was now like a kitten who was kicked by his owner for no reason. He vaguely knew that he was wrong, but didn't know what he was wrong. So he was trembling with fear and didn't dare to extend his claws even once.

Xu Xilin gradually noticed something in his eyes and suddenly felt heartbroken.

He thought, it's not the first day I've known Dou Xun, how could I not know what kind of temper he has? It would be an exaggeration to argue with him for such a long time, and if you look closely, he was indeed a little short of breaking away from Dou Xun's hand that day.

Dou Xun subconsciously rolled up the book in his hand, and before he knew it, Xu Xilin took it away.

Xu Xilin's gaze lingered on the rather scandalous cover for a moment. He casually flipped through the contents and was immediately amused. After laughing, he felt sad again because he sensed the uneasiness that Dou Xun had never expressed.

Dou Xun's face suddenly turned red, and he reached out to grab it: "Don't look at it blindly."

"Bean filling," Xu Xilin sighed, pulling Dou Xun, who was at a loss, into his arms, and threw the ridiculous pirated book aside, "We don't believe in this stuff."

This was the first time Xu Xilin reached out to hug him after the quarrel that day. Dou Xun's heart was pounding for a moment, and he felt a sense of relief and grievance as if he had regained what he had lost.

Xu Xilin kissed Dou Xun's eyelashes and felt that Dou Xun's eyebrows and eyes were well-shaped. The more he looked at them, the better they looked. With his high nose bridge, he had the standard handsome face, which could make people's heart beat fast at first sight.

Dou Xun immediately got out of Xu Xilin's way, broke free of his hand, and took over the initiative to press him into the chair, kissing him back and forth. Xu Xilin wanted to say something, but he tried to dodge several times but failed, so he could only laugh and let him go, and soon he was a little out of breath.

Dou Xun's feelings were so passionate and straightforward that they could melt the ice. Xu Xilin was not stupid or dull, so of course he could feel it. He was immersed in this boiling feeling, unable to float to the top or step to the bottom, and gradually melted into it. He thought to himself: "Just spoil him, it's okay to spoil him for the rest of my life."

King You of Zhou could light beacons to trick the princes for a beauty, and Master Bao could tear a fan for Qingwen... This "beauty" of his just had a bad temper, and was far from doing anything to the point of destroying the country and herself.

When they were arguing, Xu Xilin thought Dou Xun was a bastard, but when they were in a good mood, Xu Xilin felt that Dou Xun was pitiful and cute, and that he was too harsh on him.

It was unknown how long it was before Dou Xun let him go. He leaned his hands on the armrests of the chair and looked at him again and again.

Xu Xilin gently touched Dou Xun's red lips with his fingers and blurted out, "Don't be like this, I won't really be angry with you."

Words are like hammers, they hit you hard, how can you say them without hesitation?

It’s just that young people’s hearts are easily agitated and their blood is easily excited, so they always don’t understand this truth.

Dou Xun still didn't have the chance to say what he thought. The atmosphere was so good that whoever spoke was a fool.

Later he wrote a letter to Xu Xilin, which was basically a love letter. He poured all his blood and sweat onto the paper, and then mentioned his thoughts at the end.

Xu Xilin was extremely smart. He understood the idea quickly and modified the instructions for using the card in a timely manner. He gave the card holders a "discount price" and promised that once registered, it would be valid for life. He would then launch new services every once in a while. For example, he would only deliver fresh fruits at the beginning, and after a while, he would launch services such as cutting and peeling, and charge an additional packaging fee.

The gloom of the entire winter vacation has completely passed. Before, Xu Xilin coaxed Dou Xun to stay at home reluctantly during holidays. Later, gradually, he began to feel reluctant to go out, and he slowly entered the state of wishing he could stick with him all day long.

When the two of them were watching a movie together, or doing their own things across a table, Xu Xilin liked to touch Dou Xun, sometimes by hugging him, sometimes by stretching and putting his legs on Dou Xun's knees, disturbing his upright sitting posture, or by teasing him when he got up to pour water or get something.

Dou Xun is usually a person who can sit still, but occasionally he can't stand Xu Xilin's teasing. At this time, he would use the results of his nearly a year of training in the boxing gym that he had no chance to practice on Xu Xilin.

When grandma was not at home, the two of them would be so bold as to jump up and down the stairs, chasing and playing, and every time they scared the grey parrot so much that it would flutter its wings and then yell, "Little jerk!"

The grandmother didn't dare to go out and make a scene at home, so they just fought with each other in a small area of ​​the house, and occasionally they would get angry. It was not convenient to draw the curtains casually in broad daylight, so at first they went to the bathroom to solve it. But later, Xu Xilin found that although Dou Xun didn't say it explicitly, he didn't like the dimly lit bathroom, so he changed the place - there was a small space between his bed and the wardrobe that was only big enough for one person to lie down. When Xu Xilin was a child, he was afraid of the light when taking a nap, so he put a thick quilt here and curled up in this dark place that was sealed on three sides, which gave people a sense of security.

When he was a child, Xu Jin joked that he didn't want a bed and liked to sleep in a coffin.

When he grew up, he abandoned his bed and kissed and caressed his beloved boy in the coffin.

More than two months later, as late spring was approaching, the fruit ordering website created by Xu Xilin and his team was officially launched. A bunch of science and engineering guys with no romantic feelings named this thing "Vitamins". There was a refrigerator in the dormitory management office, and if students ordered milk and yogurt, they would have them delivered to the dormitory management every day and put them in the refrigerator, and everyone would register to take them away - in this way, only one delivery was needed to each building every day.

Xu Xilin got inspiration from this. He first used his relationship with the counselor and the grade's ideological and political department to get a place in the school's key project to encourage student entrepreneurship. Then he used the school's special approval and a small plate of free seasonal fruits every day to get the dormitory managers to agree, packaging himself as an "official organization."

After half a year of planning and struggling, it was not easy even after it was actually launched. It took nearly a year of mistakes and adjustments. During this period, Xu Xilin's "perfectionism" problem broke out and he became hysterical. Not only was he struggling to start a business, he was also unwilling to give up the scholarship at the end of each year. He also had to take care of his grandmother at home. So every day was like an exam week, working eighteen hours a day. For a while, he would sit in the classroom during the day, but inexplicably his head would spin around, and he would have tinnitus so severe that he couldn't hear the teacher's voice. By the end of his sophomore year, he had lost ten pounds. When he met with old classmates during the holidays, Yu Yiren was extremely envious and jealous.

After going through numerous difficulties, his small "career" finally started to get on track. Many people in school began to call him "Boss Xu", which meant he was a prominent figure.

Only then did he feel a little more confident in speaking at home. The ability to be financially independent is always the cornerstone of personal independence - at least he now has the right to hire a part-time worker.

Lao Cheng quietly asked him, "Why are you fighting harder than Cai Jing did?"

Xu Xilin didn't feel that.

Firstly, Cai Jing was working for others with a heavy heart, while he organized a group of people to work for him, so his mood was different. And how old was Cai Jing at that time? Cai Jing at that time was only two or three years older than he is now, but the resources he had access to were very different, so it is difficult to compare.

And Cai Jing tried his best to survive with dignity, but in the final analysis he was forced.

Every day when Xu Xilin lay on the bed and didn't want to get up, he would think about his family's bean paste. Dou Xun's major, after undergraduate study, can only help people resell medical equipment. This business is something Xu Xilin is willing to do, but even if Dou Xun is killed, he can't sell it. Dou Xun is a year ahead and will soon be a senior. That stubborn donkey refuses to go abroad, so he can only apply to stay in school and continue his postgraduate study. It takes three years to study for a master's degree in China, so it is better to study for a master's degree and a doctorate. It would be good to stay in school or go to graduate school in the future.

Xu Xilin didn't know if Dou Xun had planned for the long-term future, but he had planned for Dou Xun. He heard that Dou Junliang's former secretary and new wife Wu Fenfen gave birth to a little boy last year, and Xu Xilin sent a red envelope on behalf of Dou Xun at that time. He felt that Dou Junliang might not have time to take care of his eldest son in the future.

Xu Xilin had also thought it through. If Dou Junliang didn't care, he would take Dou Xun in completely and cover all expenses himself from then on.

Before he graduated, he had already found some joy in keeping a gigolo.

Lao Cheng looked at him for a moment and teased: "You have a girlfriend, right?"

"Huh?" Xu Xilin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to cover up the truth, "Nonsense, you are so busy, how can you have a girlfriend?"
