Chapter 162

Cheng Hui came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. Just as he was about to walk towards the bedroom, he saw that the bathroom light was on and he could hear the sound of water splashing inside.

He paused. Lin Qingyang, who was bathing in the bathroom but eavesdropping, suddenly became alert. Just when he thought Cheng Hui was heading this way, he noticed the footsteps took a detour and headed towards the courtyard.

Lin Qingyang slapped the water in frustration, but the splashes soaked him completely and calmed him down.

After a while, he sighed. It turned out that the appearance of his love rival made him too nervous and his brain was in trouble. He knew that Cheng Hui was a gentleman and would not do such a thing as peeping, but he still held on to hope.

"How stupid!" He cursed himself in disgust, and with a wave of his hand, the window that he had deliberately left a crack in slammed shut.

Cheng Hui, who was already in the yard, had no idea that Lin Qingyang had left a crack in the bathroom to make it easier for him to peek. He didn't think too much about it, but suddenly felt that the night was beautiful and wanted to sit in the yard for a while.

He came under the locust tree and sat on a stone bench. The evening breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness.

Cheng Hui, who was enjoying the cool breeze, accidentally saw the chessboard on the table, and naturally saw the chess piece.

He mistakenly thought that this was left by Lin Qingyang before taking a shower, so he picked up a white chess piece with interest and placed it next to the black chess piece.

Soon, Lin Qingyang came out of the bathroom. The hot steam made his cheeks red. His black hair was wiped twice by the towel, and the wet hair scattered on his clothes, leaving some water stains on them.

"You're so old, and you don't even wipe your hair after taking a shower." Cheng Hui nagged habitually, and took the towel to wipe Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang squatted obediently in front of him, lying on his knees, allowing him to wipe his hair strand by strand with a towel.

Cheng Hui's movements were slow and meticulous.

His grandmother patiently dried his hair like this. At that time, he was still a naughty child and was always impatient to dry his hair. Every time he would be scolded by his grandmother, and then the old lady would grab his hand and slowly dry each strand of hair.

Perhaps one only knows how to cherish something after losing it. It was only when his grandmother passed away that he realized how rare it was to have someone who would remind you to brush your hair.

Lin Qingyang developed this habit when he was a child, and even though he is now an adult, he still can't help but worry about it.

"Really? You're already grown up but still so disobedient." Cheng Hui gently poked Lin Qingyang's forehead.

Lin Qingyang suddenly grabbed his hand and asked with a smile: "If I am willing to be obedient, will Ah Hui always stay with me?"

"Sure..." Cheng Hui said casually, but then he felt something was wrong.

This isn't just the companionship between brothers, it's...

However, the words had already been spoken, and even if he wanted to regret it, Lin Qingyang would not give him the chance.

He slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled brightly: "We agreed, Ah Hui, you can't go back on your word."

Cheng Hui: ...

Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment by the beauty at such close range.

When he came to his senses, he was shocked and made a promise in a daze.

Chenghuo: ...Damn! Beauty can lead to misfortune!

He covered his face with one hand and pushed Lin Qingyang away with the other, lamenting in his heart: This brat was very handsome when he was a child, and he became even more beautiful when he grew up. My little heart can't bear the critical attack of beauty filters at such a close distance.

As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty.

Cheng Hui claimed that he was just an ordinary person. Not only was Lin Qingyang good-looking, but he also clearly expressed that he liked him. Which man could bear to see such a beauty showing such a pleading expression?

Anyway, Cheng Hui thinks he is not capable of it.

He couldn't help but touch his chest. Oops, his heart was beating a little fast.

He felt that his orientation was in jeopardy... He had originally planned to hold on, but looking at the situation... If Lin Qingyang tried harder, he might have to surrender.

no!

A person should have moral integrity. How can you just give in just because he is good-looking?

But he really is so handsome, the villain in Cheng Hui’s heart said this.

Cheng Hui: ...I feel so desperate, _(:з」∠)_

"Well, well, just say what you want to say, don't get so close." Cheng Hui turned his face away, not daring to look at Lin Qingyang's face again.

Lin Qingyang blinked. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly...Huh? Did Ah Hui blush? Could it be...

He tried to get closer, but felt Cheng Hui reflexively retreating.

He paused and looked at Cheng Hui's red ears thoughtfully. He probably, possibly, maybe... knew why Cheng Hui became like this.

Lin Qingyang responded obediently and stood up straight: "Ahui, it's late, we should rest."

Cheng Hui's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, he had forgotten that he used to sleep in the same bed with Lin Qingyang. Now that their relationship has become like this, it would be inappropriate to sleep in the same bed again.

"You go first, I'll go later!" Cheng Hui said to himself.

Lin Qingyang glanced at him, probably guessing what she was thinking. He pursed his lips, knowing that he couldn't push her too hard, and said gently, "Okay, then I'll go to bed first."

Only when the bedroom door was closed, completely cutting off the line of sight between the two, did Cheng Hui breathe a sigh of relief.

His head slammed against the stone table, and he muttered, "It's over now. Beauty is so tempting, I can't bear it anymore... No! Cheng Hui, you have to cheer up! You can't do this because of beauty... Damn, if not because of beauty, what else can you do? Qingyang is a very good person! Being liked by such a person is simply pie in the sky."

Cheng Hui lay face down on the table, silent for a long time, then simply rolled over to the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

The images of Lin Qingyang and Aqiu kept appearing in his mind. They seemed to be the same person, but there were slight differences between them.

Standing side by side with the two men was a tall man who had the same appearance as them, but a different temperament.

That was the image he created by combining what Aqiu told him about the 'original him', but when he saw the tall man and Aqiu snuggling sweetly together, he felt extremely incongruous.

"Ah, this is so annoying!" Cheng Hui wiped his face vigorously. He was just an ordinary college student, why was he forced to act in a suspense film?

Wouldn't it be better to just let him be a salted fish?

Cheng Hui jumped up with a somersault. Why think so much? He couldn't figure it out anyway. It's better to live in the present.

"Hmm?" He noticed that there was an extra chess piece on the stone table at some point, and thought it was the one Lin Qingyang had just placed. He picked up another white chess piece and placed it next to the black chess piece.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep." He muttered to himself, but his body walked obediently towards the study.

It is definitely not okay to sleep in the same bed with Lin Qingyang. If you do such a thing when you know that he likes you, it definitely means you have bad intentions.

Cheng Hui felt that he was a gentleman after all. If they were in the wild and conditions did not allow it, it would be fine. But since conditions allowed, there was absolutely no reason for the two of them to sleep in the same room.

Fortunately, in addition to various ingredients and seasonings, his storage ring also contained a large carved bed.

As a zombie who has extremely high requirements for sleep quality, what he likes most is probably the existence of storage space, which allows him to carry his favorite bed with him wherever he goes without worrying about getting used to it.

Hearing the study door closing, Lin Qingyang, lying on the bed in the bedroom, sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, the benefits he had enjoyed before were gone. Looking at the empty bed beside him, Lin Qingyang felt a little conflicted for a moment, and couldn't tell whether this was a good or bad thing after growing up.

He lifted the quilt and sat up. Without Cheng Hui by his side, Lin Qingyang was no longer sleepy, so he simply got up and meditated.

Whether it was that Aqiu or the challenges that might be encountered in the future, Lin Qingyang knew very well that strength was the foundation of everything.

The courtyard fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the locust trees. A black chess piece flew out of the chess box and slowly landed on the chessboard.

A figure flashed by, and Lin Qingyang's figure suddenly appeared next to the chessboard.

He looked around suspiciously, but found nothing. Could it be that he was wrong?

Then he lowered his head and saw the chess pieces on the chessboard, his pupils shrank slightly.

wrong!

He narrowed his eyes, looked around vigilantly, and shouted, "Who are you sneaking around? Get out here!"

Everything was silent except for the creaking sound of the study door opening. Cheng Hui appeared beside Lin Qingyang in a flash. "What's wrong?"

Lin Qingyang raised his chin and motioned him to look at the chessboard. Cheng Hui looked down and laughed. He picked up another white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

"Did you order this?" Lin Qingyang was stunned.

"Ah?" Cheng Hui was also stunned: "Didn't you play it with me?"

Lin Qingyang shook his head: "It's not me."

Isn't it Lin Qingyang? Is there a third person in the yard?

Cheng Hui immediately realized the problem.

Although the magic circle he had set up before had a defensive effect, it was mainly aimed at attacks from outside. But if someone was hiding in the yard, the magic circle might not be detected at all.

"What does this guy mean? He can't be here just to play chess with me." Cheng Hui picked up another chess piece and looked at the chess pieces on the board, somewhat confused about the other party's intentions.

While the two were talking, another black chess piece fell onto the chessboard unnoticed. The two were clearly standing there, and they didn't notice how the chess piece appeared.

Lin Qingyang was so angry that he laughed. Was this considered a direct provocation?

He raised his hand, wanting to destroy the chessboard with one palm, but was stopped by Cheng Hui.

"Wait, wait, the other party hasn't shown any hostility. It's just a game of chess, right? Let's play a game first and see."

Lin Qingyang said helplessly: "Ah Hui... people's hearts are unpredictable. If the other party has bad intentions..."

Cheng Hui scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "I understand what you mean, but we can't just start fighting and killing the other party when they haven't done anything... Otherwise, let's observe first. If they really have bad intentions towards us, I will definitely not stop you from taking action."

Lin Qingyang sighed. What could he say? He liked Cheng Hui just like this, so of course he had to continue to pamper him.

"As you say."

Cheng Hui picked up a chess piece and started playing chess with the non-existent person...or ghost.

However, after a few moves, the chess player felt something was wrong.

What the hell is Cheng Hui doing now?

A mess like this is not Go at all!

But after a few moves, Cheng Hui cheered: I won!

Chess ghost: ???

Chess ghost: ...(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
