Chapter 55
Fan Qingyue jumped out and reprimanded Li Siwen: [You are going crazy again and called our brother-in-law a pervert, I won’t agree.]
Li Siwen replied, [You’re just a dog addict who wants to eat dog food, right?]
Fan Qingyue said, [?]
Li Siwen always mentioned that, even if Xie Qi didn’t care, he would feel uncomfortable if Li Siwen kept saying it.
After all, even a father wouldn’t have reached this point, right…? Making video calls every day felt a little strange.
However, if Qin Yizhi was really interested in Xie Qi, he would have done it on the wedding night. There was no reason for him to still hold it, and that man also confessed that they each got what they wanted.
This didn’t make sense logically, so Li Siwen must have read too many novels and said nonsense again.
Okay, call if he wanted to call. Anyway, he could talk and communicate well, which was good.
After finishing the chat, Xie Qi saw that it was getting late and was about to go to bed in a daze, but before going to bed, he sent Qin Yizhi a message: [When will you come back to sleep?]
Qin Yizhi took a few seconds to reply: [It will be late, don’t wait for me, go to sleep.]
Xie Qi said naturally: [I can’t sleep unless you come home.]
Qin Yizhi was silent for a while and then replied: [Didn’t you sleep alone before?]
Xie Qi replied: [Well, I had slept with Fan Qingyue a few times. Why do you ask?]
Qin Yizhi: [Nothing.]
Xie Qi: [?]
Nothing? Xie Qi was so sleepy that his brain could hardly move, and his fingers were typing in slow motion: [I’ll wait for you. If you don’t come over to sleep, I won’t feel at ease.]
Qin Yizhi paused and replied: [I’m coming over now.]
Xie Qi thought of something and asked, [What were you doing?]
Qin Yizhi: [Processing some documents.]
Xie Qi became more energetic and asked, [Hey, you haven’t gone to work recently. Is everything okay? Mother seems to have said that you are not in a good situation now…]
Qin Yizhi replied calmly: [It doesn’t matter, I don’t need to go recently. I don’t want to go there if I can.]
Xie Qi: [Well, what do you mean by that?]
Qin Yizhi: [If you are interested in business, maybe you can come to me after graduation. You should be able to get started quickly.]
Xie Qi was confused for a moment, did Qin Yizhi immediately want to arrange things for him after graduation?
Xie Qi: [That will be four years later. It seems a bit early to talk about this now.]
Qin Yizhi: [At this time, we can plan for the future. You train with me for four years, and I will give you another one year. The company will hone your skills, and within five years, you can be on your own.]
Xie Qi: […]
This was directly planning for him to be successful young man.
However, Xie Qi understood Qin Yizhi a little bit, so he did not resist. However, most of his sleepiness dissipated and he became more awake. [Isn’t this not good? It’s a bit nepotistic.]
Qin Yizhi: [No, it’s fine.]
Xie Qi: “…” The rebuttal was really crisp and clear.
Xie Qi continued typing: [Forget it, distance creates beauty. If we work together and see each other’s faces every day, sooner or later we will get tired of it.]
Qin Yizhi replied, [Really? Are you tired of me?]
At that moment, Xie Qi felt a strange sensation. The warmth on his cheeks seemed to have increased by a few degrees, causing the moisture in his throat to evaporate faster, leaving his mouth feeling dry.
He sat up, took a few sips from the water glass on the bedside table, and moistened his throat.
Xie Qi touched his face, feeling a bit perplexed.
The feeling was fleeting, yet he acknowledged it – a sensation of attraction.
Reviewing their conversation, there were no explicit words, but… inexplicably, it felt like more.
No!
He must have been influenced by Li Siwen’s words to feel this way.
Lost in thought, cup in hand, Qin Yizhi returned.
With a cold expression, he strode to the bed, glanced at Xie Qi, sat down, laid back, and with a decisive “click,” turned off the light.
His movements were deliberate, fluid, and without haste.
Because Xie Qi had closed the curtains in front of the window, as soon as the lights went out, the entire room plunged into darkness.
Qin Yizhi’s voice broke the silence. “Go to sleep.”
Xie Qi remained silent.
He was wide awake now.
But sleep seemed elusive.
Beside him, Qin Yizhi’s breathing quickly steadied.
From lying down to drifting off, Qin Yizhi took less than half a minute!
Xie Qi adjusted the quilt, realizing he had pulled too much. He hurriedly felt around, his fingers brushing against Qin Yizhi’s chest muscles.
They were surprisingly soft.
Unable to resist, he poked them again with his fingers.
So nice.
Xie Qi sighed inwardly.
He quickly took his hand away and groped for the corner of the quilt.
Qin Yizhi’s chest was not covered by a large area.
Xie Qi slowly pulled the quilt to cover it then covering himself completely, and fell back with satisfaction.
After laying down, he turned over and pulled most of the quilt off Qin Yizhi’s body.
Xie Qi himself didn’t notice this, and felt in his heart that he was very considerate.
If Qin Yizhi didn’t notice this, he might have caught a cold from the air conditioner.
Qin Yizhi: “…” He opened his eyes and waited for a while.
After hearing Xie Qi’s breathing calm down, he silently reached out and turned on the night light.
A faint warm yellow light enveloped the entire room, allowing Qin Yizhi to see him.
Xie Qi was wrapped up in a ball and only his furry head was exposed.
Xie Qi actually slept well.
He usually had a certain sleeping position, and he basically slept in this position until dawn.
However, he had a problem — he would hog the quilt.
In the past few days and nights, Qin Yizhi seemed to have become accustomed to it. He held the corner of the quilt and gently pulled it over, silently, as if he were doing something very important.
After Xie Qi fell asleep, the strength of his fingers gradually decreased and he pulled back the quilt that belonged to him. Qin Yizhi covered himself with the quilt, pressed the edge skillfully with one arm and one leg, reached out to turn off the light, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
This series of actions was also very skillful, as if it had been done many times.
And these went unnoticed by Xie Qi.
No one had told him that he had this problem.
After all, when he slept with Fan Qingyue, he slept alone on the floor and let Fan Qingyue slept on the bed.
He didn’t know that Qin Yizhi would snatch back his own quilt every night.
.
Another day passed and Li Siwen was about to go back.
Fan Qingyue did not changed his mind and still wanted to stay with Xie Qi.
However, Li Siwen insisted on taking him back with her.
When he asked, she said, “They are a newlywed couple, do they need an NPC like you to be a light bulb?”
Fan Qingyue: “…”
Fan Qingyue said angrily, “You are the one who is NPC! I have a radar for gay men, and I also have a radar for straight men. We, Xie Qi and I, are straight men with strong bones. You evil woman! You are so arrogant!”
Li Siwen said with a deep look, “But good always prevails over evil.”
Fan Qingyue: “…”
“Anyway, I will stay with Qizi, no need to say anything!”
Li Siwen replied, “That’s okay. You can stay here and occasionally take him to play badminton. It’ll be good for him to exercise.”
She and Jiang Sining flew home together, and Fan Qingyue stayed with Xie Qi.
Xie Qi felt quite warm in his heart. It was a bit uncomfortable for him to be here alone. After all, he still not used to live here.
In the afternoon, he met Qin Yizhi in the lobby and noticed that his eyelids were red, so he asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Qin Yizhi said lightly, “Nothing.”
His voice was a bit hoarse, with a hint of nasal tone.
Xie Qi understood immediately, “You have a cold?” His eyes fell on his hand and he saw that he was holding a glass of water. There were a few pills scattered on the coffee table. He had obviously just taken the medicine.
He immediately expressed concern, “It’s still summer, and the night dew must have been heavy last night. You should wear more clothes when you go out in the future. You might feel sleepy after taking the medicine. Do you want to go to bed now? Should I rub your temples for you? I’ve been doing eye exercises for 10 years, so my skills will definitely make you feel refreshed.”
Qin Yizhi: “…A gold medal masseur?”
Xie Qi: “…”
He actually remembered what he had said back then. It was quite embarrassing, so he showed a shy smile and said, “It’s really not a problem at all.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
