Chapter 57 57 The jealousy in my heart began to surge again

Qin Jixiu took off his leather shoes, and the sensor light in the entrance hall lit up.

He reeked of alcohol and fatigue from the social scene. He loosened his tie out of habit and was about to flip the switch on the wall when he realized belatedly that the light in the living room was on.

The aunt at home went back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, so the only one who could be in this house at this moment was Shi Rui.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qin Jixiu's heart skipped a beat and he sobered up instantly.

There was no one in the living room, so he quickly walked in his slippers towards the lighted kitchen, his steps carrying a subtle fluster. It was not until he saw the familiar tall figure standing in front of the stove that he breathed a sigh of relief, and even his eyes felt a little hot.

Shi Rui was stirring noodles in a pot with his head bent down, a white mist swirling around his face. Hearing footsteps, he turned around, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you back?"

Qin Jixiu didn't respond, but walked over and hugged him from behind. His nose was filled with the refreshing soapy scent of Shi Rui's body, which dispelled his hypocrisy that had lasted all night.

Qin Jixiu asked softly, "Didn't you say you would stay home until the fifth day of the New Year? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

"I missed you." Shi Rui turned down the heat, turned around and hugged him back, "Have you eaten yet? I didn't have dinner, so I made a bowl of noodles to fill my stomach."

Qin Jixiu nodded.

When Shi Rui sat at the dining table with a bowl in his hand, he pulled a chair over and asked, "Do your uncle and aunt have any objections to your sudden return?"

Shi Rui took a sip of noodles and looked up at him: "I said I wanted to come back and find my partner, and they didn't object."

Qin Jixiu's eyes were shaken: "Did you tell them?"

Shi Rui smiled and said, "But I didn't say it was you." Worried that his parents would go directly to Qin Jixiu's grandfather, he asked his parents to stay calm for the time being.

Qin Jixiu breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to ruffle his hair: "Okay, take your time, there's no rush."

After dinner, Shi Rui pulled Qin Jixiu to the balcony and said mysteriously that they wanted to watch the stars together. Qin Jixiu looked up at the window and saw the lead-gray clouds hanging low, which made it clear that it was going to snow.

"Where are the stars in the sky?" He poked Shi Rui's forehead with a smile, but his tone was obviously indulgent.

Shi Rui forced him to sit on the wicker chair on the balcony, put his arms around his waist from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

Qin Jizheng was about to complain when he saw Shi Rui raise his hand and shake his wrist lightly, and a fine silver light lit up in front of his eyes.

It's a star necklace.

It turns out that I wanted to see this star.

Qin Jixiu's heart skipped a beat.

Shi Rui's voice rang in his ears: "I wanted to wait until Valentine's Day to give it to you, but I couldn't help myself. I'll help you put it on."

Qin Jixiu said "hmm". After putting on the necklace, he turned around, raised his hands to hook Shi Rui's neck, pulled him down and kissed him.

The kiss became deeper and deeper.

After taking a shower, Shi Rui was unusually quiet. He hugged Qin Jixiu from behind, his arms tightly around his waist.

Qin Jixiu thought he was tired from the car ride, so he patted the back of his hand, whispered "Go to sleep", and closed his eyes.

The effects of the alcohol gradually took effect and he quickly fell asleep, not even noticing Shi Rui's subtle adjustment of his posture.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Jixiu was awakened by the sound of a light being turned on. He tried to open his eyes, but found that everything was pitch black and he could not see anything.

Panic surged in his heart, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, his fingertips touching a piece of soft fabric. It turned out to be an eye mask.

"Shi Rui?" He called out, but received no response.

The next second, a warm kiss landed on his forehead, carrying a familiar cool breath.

Qin Jixiu's heart calmed down a little, but he also felt a sense of inexplicable nervousness and a bit of secret anticipation.

He could feel Shi Rui's hand caressing his waist. The movement was much gentler than usual, but the pressure was irresistible.

Shi Rui didn't say a word throughout the whole process, only his warm breath fell on his skin.

It was not until the end that Qin Jixiu heard a low, muffled groan from Shi Rui's lips, which was so sexy that it made his heart beat faster.

Afterwards, Shi Rui took a warm towel to help him clean up, his movements were gentle, but he never let him take off the eye mask.

Qin Jixiu lay quietly and could feel Shi Rui lying back beside him, hugging him from behind again, with a much tighter grip than before sleeping, as if he wanted to rub him into his bones.

In the darkness, Shi Rui opened his eyes, not feeling sleepy at all.

When he first heard Yang Qiao tell the story of her fraudulent boyfriend, he thought it was just a joke. It wasn't until he saw the text message that he suddenly realized that the man Yang Qiao was talking about, who had been cheated of money and love by Ye Bo, was actually Qin Jixiu.

At that moment, heartache and jealousy were like two knives, stabbing his heart at the same time. He felt sorry for Qin Jixiu's sincerity but was betrayed, and he was jealous that Ye Bo could have received such a passionate Qin Jixiu.

He couldn't stay at home any longer, so he didn't even need to lie or make excuses to his parents. They just asked the driver to take him back overnight.

The person in his arms was held too tightly and seemed a little uncomfortable, so he moved slightly.

Shi Rui came to his senses and loosened his grip a little, but he was still reluctant to let go.

It was not until Qin Jixiu was really out of breath and turned around and made a "tsk" sound in his direction that he completely relaxed his arms.

The next morning, Qin Jixiu was woken up by Shi Rui.

He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Shi Rui's enlarged handsome face, and then he noticed the white outside the window.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Shi Rui lay on the edge of the bed, looking at him with sparkling eyes, "It seems the snow has stopped."

Qin Jixiu nodded, and when he stood up to put on his clothes, he found that Shi Rui had already found his thick coat and scarf.

The neighborhood was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of snow being shoveled and the crunching sound of feet stepping on the snow.

Shi Rui walked beside him, and Qin Jixiu looked at his profile. He was not a fool. It was too obvious that Shi Rui was not right last night. The breath Shi Rui left beside his ear was heavy and hot, as if he was fighting with someone.

"You suddenly came back yesterday. It's not just because you missed me, right?" Qin Jixiu stopped and turned to look at Shi Rui with a calm tone.

Shi Rui turned his head to look at him: "How do you know?"

"How should I know?" Qin Jixiu smiled. "Your face is full of these four words: 'I'm worried.' Tell me, what's wrong? Are you unhappy spending the New Year at home, or did your uncle and aunt scold you?"

Shi Rui was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "No. Jiang Lin and I had dinner together that day. Do you remember that other girl?"

Qin Jixiu thought about it and nodded slowly: "I have some impression, what's the matter?"

Shi Rui said, "Her name is Yang Qiao."

After hearing the two words "Yang Qiao", the smile on Qin Jixiu's face froze instantly.

Shi Rui watched his reaction, and the last bit of uncertainty in his heart disappeared. He stepped forward and asked distressedly, "Yang Qiao's boyfriend is called Ye Bo. Did he date you before and cheat on you?"

Qin Jixiu looked at Shi Rui's worried eyes and knew that he could no longer hide this matter. He nodded gently and said, "Yes, I talked to Ye Bo. Later, he cheated on me, and we broke up."

"Is the person you cheated with Yang Qiao?"

"Yes," Qin Jixiu paused, "I think so."

"How many years have you been dating?" Shi Rui asked.

"More than two years." Qin Jixiu looked down at the snow under his feet, his voice a little softer.

Shi Rui's eyes darkened instantly, and jealousy began to surge in his heart. He suppressed his emotions and tried to make his tone sound calm: "Then you must like him very much, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been dating for so long."

"I used to be." Qin Jixiu looked at Shi Rui with a frank look in his eyes. "At the beginning, I thought everything about him was good. He had a nice voice, was good at playing games, and he said a lot of sweet things. Later, he gradually became cold towards me, and I'm not the type to show my affection for him, so our feelings gradually faded."

"He cheated you of your money and your feelings. Are you sad?" Shi Rui's voice was tense.

"It's sad." Qin Jixiu smiled. "Anyone who gives their heart and is betrayed will be sad. But after I knew the truth, I felt much more relieved. It's not that my love is unworthy, it's that his character is problematic and he is not worthy of my sincerity."

Hearing this, Shi Rui's voice was a little anxious: "I cherish your love! I will never treat you like he did."

Qin Jixiu smiled and raised his hand, touching his soft hair: "I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't give me a star necklace again and secretly be jealous of me, right?"

Shi Rui immediately said, "I'm not jealous."

"Okay, you're not jealous." Qin Jixiu strode forward with an attitude of "I believe whatever you say."

Shi Rui immediately caught up, ran in front of him, turned around and walked backwards, his eyes fixed on his expression. Qin Jixiu was amused by his appearance: "What are you doing?"

Shi Rui hesitated for a few seconds, but couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Did you and Ye Bo live together before? Like we do now."

Qin Jixiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No, I haven't even met him in person."

Shi Rui stopped and asked in surprise, "You haven't seen it before? Then how did you two fall in love?"

Qin Jixiu sighed and said, "Online love, do you understand? It's the kind of online love where you fall head over heels in love just by hearing someone's voice, where you're so eager to give yourself to someone once they save you in a game, and where the filter is two meters thick."

Shi Rui thought about it and was a little confused: "You can't see him, so how did you find out that Ye Bo was cheating?"

"I accidentally ran into him and Yang Qiao playing games, and some 'little detectives' I know were eager to help. By the way, I sued him a while ago, and he has been arrested now," said Qin Jixiu.

Shi Rui nodded: "I know. Good catch."

He then asked, "Do you always play games together? What games are they?"

More than ten minutes later, the two stood in the game room, in front of Qin Jixiu's computer, and saw Qin Jixiu's handsome character.

The mouse moved, the camera turned, and Junye's eyes followed, looking at the person in front of the computer.

Qin Jixiu half-jokingly said, "Welcome to the legendary martial arts game - Jian Wang 3. But I don't recommend you play it, for fear that you'll waste your money. With the little money you have, it's better to buy yourself some nice clothes. That's better than anything else."
