The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 245 "Beautiful" Cohabitation Life
Zhou Chongguang has been a little anxious recently. After all, he has stomach cancer and his life has begun to count down. It is hard not to be anxious. Who can really not be afraid of death?
Even though he always acted indifferent before, he spoke very calmly about having stomach cancer. He even found the BGM for his own funeral.

But one thing is for sure, if he really had to wait for death with a smile, he would not be willing to do that.

He was discharged from the hospital for outpatient treatment some time ago and followed Lin Xiao to Gu Li's villa, where he made two good friends again. Those few days were one of the few times he had a relaxing and happy time in these years.

Well...actually he had already known Gu Li and Tang Wanru last year, but they didn't interact much at that time. They only became friends a few days ago.

They are also the only few friends he has.

Even though he is the second young master of the Gong family and a popular columnist for "ME", he has almost no friends since he was a child and usually stays at home playing games alone.

His hands were covered with thick calluses, not from holding pens, but from holding handles.

If Lin Xiao, that young man, hadn't come to his house to urge him to submit his manuscript, he might really be waiting to die now.

When a person is bored or depressed to a certain extent, his desire to live will also decrease, which is often referred to as "depression".

And perhaps because he met a few friends, he now has some desire to live again.

But the problem is that stomach cancer is not a dog that can be summoned and dismissed at will. The invitation from the King of Hell is not so easy to dismiss.

The doctor told Zhou Chongguang that the operation had only a one in four chance of success.

That means the chance of survival is only one in four.

And this is only a one in four chance if surgery is performed early. The longer you delay, the lower the chance will be.

So now there are only two choices before Zhou Chongguang, either live a miserable life or die, and delay one day at a time, and when he can't delay any longer, he will report to the King of Hell.

Or he could make a bet with the King of Hell. If he won, he could continue to live well. If he lost, he would immediately report to the King of Hell. However, the probability of him winning was only one in four.

As a very depressed otaku, Zhou Chongguang has always believed that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Instead of fighting hard, he might as well eat, drink and play in the last moments of his life, and take risks in the game.

But now, because he has friends, he began to consider whether to give it a try.

But but but!

A new problem arose. Even if Zhou Chongguang really wanted to take a chance, he probably couldn't do it.

Because his life not only belongs to himself, but also to the Gong family.

Old Master Gong is his stepfather and has always ignored him. His half-brother Gong Ming, who is the only one in the world who really cares about him, will definitely not agree to let him undergo this life-threatening surgery.

Moreover, Gong Ming's current death countdown plan also uses the countdown to his death from stomach cancer as a gimmick. If he dies so quickly now, wouldn't it disrupt the other party's plan?
Although it sounds inhumane, Zhou Chongguang finally chose to accept it after feeling angry and upset at first.

Gong Ming loved him very much when he was a child, but now that he has grown up, he can no longer act according to the child's way of thinking.

After all, the only one who truly cares about him is Gong Ming. If he dies, Gong Ming will be the only one who will be sad at his funeral, right?
Perhaps Lin Xiao and her friends will also be sad.

Zhou Chongguang was a little sad during this period. Although it didn't matter if he died, it might be good if he could live well.

Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do.

He went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up these two days, and the doctor's opinion was the same as before.

One quarter... one quarter...

Zhou Chongguang suddenly realized that even if there was a one in four chance of the operation being successful, his chance of getting the doctor to perform the operation was less than a one in four!
No one could agree to let him have the operation, which meant no one could sign the consent form for him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chongguang couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

He is only in his twenties, what's wrong with him wanting to live?
Just when he was feeling sad and anxious, an idea suddenly popped into his mind - could his good friend Lin Xiao sign for him?
Once this idea came up, it became unstoppable and grew and spread wildly in Zhou Chongguang's mind.

After a day of thinking, he decided to contact Lin Xiao with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

So, that morning, he called his good friend Lin Xiao, carrying his few remaining desires to survive.

"Lin Xiao, I want to see you, can we meet?"

"Sorry, I'm not free."

……

At Jian Xi's home, Lin Quan looked at Lin Xiao in astonishment as he hung up the phone. The call just ended too quickly!
Seeing Lin Xiao start to slurp his noodles calmly, Lin Quan couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to die just like that?"

"Well, what else?" Lin Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then said coldly, "So that I can prevent you from interrupting me like you did just now."

Thinking about how this woman interrupted him when he was about to ask Kitty for leave and almost lost his job, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the noodles in the bowl had no taste.

What if this woman says something vicious when I call Zhou Chongguang later?
Do you want to live anymore?

Lin Xiao finally understood that now, as long as it could get him into trouble, the bitch opposite would try it tirelessly.

However, seeing her like this, Lin Quan couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer: "Who knows if you are guilty of being a thief?"

After a pause, Lin Quan smiled and said, "Maybe you were afraid that I might hear you saying something shameful to Zhou Chongguang, so you hung up in a hurry."

"Are you done yet? If it weren't for this bowl of noodles, I would have thrown it in your face long ago!" Lin Xiao slammed the table and glared at the guy opposite him who liked to spread rumors.

Seeing this, Lin Quan snorted twice and didn't say anything else, but his suspicion of her was a little less.

Not much, just a little, otherwise wouldn’t my promotion be a little unjustified?
After a while, when Lin Xiao was almost done eating, Lin Quan returned to the bedroom to tidy up, then came out with his bag and said expressionlessly, "Remember to wash the dishes."

After saying this, she walked to the door to change her shoes.

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiao frowned. He was just washing the dishes so that he wouldn't owe her anything. But the tone of her voice made people feel uncomfortable.

Lin Quan, who had changed his shoes, glanced at her and said, "Just because you're not going to work today doesn't mean I won't go to study today."

"..."

Lin Xiao, who had just relaxed after eating and drinking, got angry again when he heard this. Does that mean he doesn't want to go to work?

After glaring at her fiercely, Lin Xiao stood up and took two sets of bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Quan snorted and laughed, then turned around, opened the door and walked out. The two girls did not mention again how to divide the master bedroom at night.

Anyway, the other party won’t listen even if you tell him.

At worst, we can just sink the bed in the master bedroom!

……

In the afternoon, Lin Xiao returned to Gu Li's villa.

"Lin Xiao? You're back. Didn't you go to work?"

In the villa, Gu Li, who was sorting out company information at home and preparing to team up with her boyfriend to deceive Ye Chuanping, couldn't help but look surprised when she saw Lin Xiao. She didn't expect that her best friend would come back today.

"Yeah, I didn't go." Lin Xiao answered weakly, "I was just sleeping there. During the day, I either went to work or came to accompany you."

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Lin Quan last night?" Gu Li put down the things in her hands and asked her best friend who came over and slumped down on the sofa.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao glanced at her and threw herself into her best friend's arms, howling, "Not only that, she and I fought until midnight last night and I didn't know when I fell asleep, so I woke up late this morning and didn't go to work."

At this point, Lin Xiao raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "That Lin Quan is so bad!"

When Gu Li saw Lin Xiao like this, she was speechless. She had specifically reminded her before she went there yesterday, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"So which one of you won?"

"Is this important? What's important is that Lin Quan is staying at Jianxi's house and won't leave!"

While crying, Lin Xiao recounted everything that had happened from last night to today. Of course, she didn't explain in detail the incident in which she and Lin Quan were naked under the quilt and equipped everyone.

After all, it is difficult to define what kind of fighting style that is. What if Gu Li misunderstands that she has changed her sexual orientation?
Then she is not pure among her best friends! Gu Li didn't know that her best friend had a passionate physical fight with another woman yesterday. Hearing this, she just rolled her eyes and said, "What are you going to do next? Are you going there tonight?"

Originally, she sympathized with Lin Xiao and shared the same hatred with her, but after hearing what the other party said, she now felt both amused and annoyed.

Lin Xiao lay back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, "I don't know either."

"Have you ever thought about how to explain these things to Jian Xi?"

"I do not know either."

"What if Jian Xi comes back and he still doesn't want to drive Lin Quan away?"

"I do not know either."

"..."

Gu Li tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and then squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Why did you come back when you don't know anything? Get out of here!"

Lin Xiao's mouth pursed, and he lay in Gu Li's arms again, sobbing: "That's why I came back to ask for help because I didn't know. I'm so tired now!"

"You're tired, and so am I!" Gu Li pushed her away unhappily, then took a sip of the champagne that was always available at home and continued, "I think you should just tell Jian Xi to choose between you and Lin Quan. This is the most decisive and clearest way!"

"..."

After hearing this idea proposed by her best friend, Lin Xiao fell silent.

"What's wrong? What are you hesitating about?" Gu Li glanced at her. To be honest, if it weren't for the unclear situation between Lin Xiao and Zhou Chongguang, she would have directly suggested that she break up with Jian Xi.

It's obvious that Jian Xi is cheating on his wife. He's already living with another woman. Why should we keep him around?
As for the fact that she slept with Xi Cheng, well...that's another matter.

Lin Xiao shook her head and remained silent. She had certainly thought of this method, but after spending a night together, she was a little unsure about the extent of Jian Xi and Lin Quan's relationship.

In other words, she was not sure of defeating Lin Quan.

"Are you worried that Jian Xi won't choose you?" Gu Li asked.

Lin Xiao lowered his eyes and hummed softly, his voice so low that it was barely audible.

Seeing her like this, Gu Li sighed, held her hand and said nothing more.

It makes sense if you think about it. After all, Lin Xiao is suspected of cheating on Jian Xi. Although Jian Xi says that he believes in Lin Xiao, who knows what he is thinking in his heart.

How can anyone explain a situation like suspecting the neighbor of stealing an axe?
If it were her, Gu Li, she wouldn't believe Lin Xiao, let alone Jian Xi!

"A sin!"

Gu Li sighed again.

……

As night fell, the two women met again at Jian Xi's home. After looking at each other, they tacitly avoided each other's sight.

Lin Quan looked at the replaced couple's toiletries in the bathroom and the new couple's pajamas in the bedroom and couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking to himself, is this woman really determined to confront him?
What also made Lin Xiao speechless was that as soon as she came back, the woman went into the bathroom.

What does that mean? Are you afraid that you will use the bathroom to take advantage of her?

The heart of a villain!

Lin Xiao snorted, thinking that he was the same as she was yesterday!

When Lin Quan went to take a shower, she took a quick look and found that there were not many changes in the house, and her things had not been thrown into the guest bedroom by the other party.

Fortunately, the other party was sensible and knew that she would not be sent away like this, otherwise she would have thrown her things aside when Lin Quan went out in the morning.

After a while, Lin Quan came back to the bedroom after taking a shower. Seeing her sitting on the bed in a daze, Lin Quan said nothing and went to the mirror to blow dry his hair.

Fortunately, I learned my lesson and changed my clothes in the bathroom, and even tied my belt into a knot.

Just to avoid losing equipment like yesterday!
Since the two of them returned home, they have ignored each other and completely treated each other as air.

After seeing Lin Quan come in, Lin Xiao came back to her senses and saw that the other's pajamas were tied into a knot. She couldn't help but sneer, then she went out to take a shower with her clothes in her arms.

The hair dryer made a low buzzing sound, which failed to suppress Lin Xiao's sneer. Lin Quan paused in blowing his hair, his eyes showing some anger.

This is to guard against villains!

When Lin Xiao came back from taking a shower, Lin Quan, who had already gone to bed early, saw that her pajamas were also tied into a knot, and laughed at her.

"..."

Lin Xiao's face was also a little embarrassed. She was worried that the other party tied her pajamas tightly to facilitate the battle at night. Just in case, she had to do the same.

The other party is not a good person in the eyes of both parties. A chain of suspicion has been created. It would be uneasy if we are not on guard!
However, this time the two girls did not fight for the door. Perhaps they had learned the lesson from last night and it would be bad to yell at anyone through the door.

After the embarrassment, Lin Xiao sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror and blew his hair, thinking about what he would say to this woman later.

The fight over the bathroom and bedroom doors was tacitly abandoned by the two of them. Compared to last night, there was still one thing left to fight over.

That is the big bed next to Lin Xiao, where Lin Quan is already lying!
Lin Quan was lying on the bed, looking at her phone absentmindedly. The sound of the hair dryer beside her ears made her irritated and calm at times.

In the past, Jian Xi would lie on the bed and wait for her to finish drying her hair. She never expected that one day she would be waiting for another woman like this.

This woman is Jian Xi’s girlfriend…ex-girlfriend!

The world is so strange and unpredictable.

It always takes a long time for a woman to blow dry her hair. Lin Quan was so tired from waiting that she almost fell asleep. She only woke up when she felt the pressure of the mattress beside her.

After blow-drying his hair, Lin Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head and stared at her silently.

The hair that had just been blow-dried was not completely dry yet, and naturally fell on both sides of Lin Xiao's face, blocking the light from the incandescent lamp on the ceiling and leaving her face in shadow.

Lin Quan couldn't see her face clearly. After he woke up, he was shocked to see her appearance. He almost thought that Lin Xiao really turned into a ghost and would not let him go.

Seeing that Lin Quan was frightened by him, Lin Xiao, who did it on purpose, was very satisfied and subconsciously smiled with some smugness.

So Lin Quan finally reacted and couldn't help but say the first words after they met tonight.

"You're going to die, don't you know how to keep quiet?"

"Hmph, coward!"

After a brief exchange, the two regained their composure. Lin Xiao continued to stare at Lin Quan, and Lin Quan did not want to be outdone and looked back at her.

After a long while, Lin Xiao looked at her, lifted the quilt and lay down. Lin Quan gritted his teeth and moved to the other side.

Compared to the situation in bed last night, the two people seemed much calmer when they returned to bed after a day.

It was another tacit understanding of mutual concessions.

From the bathroom, bedroom to the bed, the two women chose to give in at the same time.

Lin Xiao turned over and slept back to back with the other person. Now, there was only one thing left in their hearts that they could not give up - Jian Xi.

"Is the living room light off?"

"forget."

"Go quickly!"

"Oh."
