Chapter 422: Ignorant but Honest
Ji Changqing sensed an unusual change in He Rui.
Although He Rui would usually take the initiative to get close to him, rubbing his palm with his cheek as intimately as just now had never happened before.
He felt a little nervous.
He Rui looked at his brother Ji staring at him without blinking, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He drawled out his laughter and said, "Yo~ What's that expression on your face? What are you thinking about?"
Ji Changqing didn't know what expression he was making, and he wasn't in the mood to manage it. He said in a hoarse voice, "You said you weren't leaving, weren't you lying to me?"
"Lie to you? You're innocent. I've never lied to you. I even told you that I'm an alien. How could I possibly lie to you?" He Rui smiled.
Ji Changqing looked at him quietly, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow, her eyes dim, and she said nothing.
He Rui felt distressed when he saw that he became mute whenever he had something on his mind.
I simply sat next to Brother Ji, put my arm around his shoulders, and told him the truth.
“When I asked before whether I would go back or disappear, it wasn’t because I suddenly missed home, but because of you.”
"I?"
Ji Changqing tilted his head slightly and looked at He Rui with confusion in his eyes.
He Rui nodded, "Although I do miss home, my mom, and my sister.
But to be honest, even if I could really leave, I wouldn't just leave you and go back to Earth.
After all, you are as important to me as my family."
He Rui said, tightening his grip on Ji Changqing's shoulders. "The reason I asked those questions because of you is because... I wanted to make sure... there were no worries. I was thinking, if..."
Having said that, he paused, wondering how to say it without being too abrupt and scaring his brother Ji.
He can't be so self-righteous as to think that if someone likes him, they will definitely want to be with him.
"...that is...for a while now, the background music has been playing love songs like "There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees" and "You love me, I love you" in my ears.
The rule is that when I see you or spend time with you, the background music will inevitably start playing this music..." He Rui said, his face getting hot again.
He glanced at the incredulous expressions on the faces of the people around him and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Some of the things you have been hiding from me have been hinted to me by a third party.
I just asked about the question about playing music constantly, and BGM revealed the answer and told me.
Ji Changqing's mind went blank, his head was buzzing, his thin lips slightly parted, staring at He Rui without blinking.
“I’m quite slow and didn’t understand the bgm hint before. I thought it just liked playing this kind of pop music brought from Earth.
It was only in the past few days that I suddenly guessed that this love song might actually mean that I like you. After all, the background music can change with my mood. "He Rui scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tightening around his waist and a strong force coming from him.
Before he could react, he was turned around and was held in the other person's lap, facing each other in a... somewhat ambiguous position.
Ji Changqing hugged the person in his arms tightly and buried his head in the other's neck.
He Rui was stunned for a few seconds and his body stiffened.
Shocked and embarrassed, he stammered to the head on his neck, "... Tie, Tie Tie?!... I, I haven't finished yet??"
"Don't you reject men?" A cold voice sounded beside his neck, and warm breath sprayed on his neck.
He Rui felt as if he was electrocuted by Ji Changqing's breath, and his neck went numb all the way to his cheeks, and his scalp seemed to be flying off.
He didn't expect that after just a few candid words, his brother Ji suddenly... seemed to have turned on the 18+ mode, catching him off guard and suddenly not knowing how to respond.
He Rui shrank his neck awkwardly and wanted to step back.
As a result, just as he retreated a little, he was pushed back hard by the other party, and his body instantly became closer to the other person.
He took a deep breath, feeling very nervous.
His neck was right next to his brother's mouth, and he felt like he might be bitten at any time.
"Please listen to me first, okay? I haven't thought it through yet... Don't scare me!"
"You haven't made up your mind yet?" Ji Changqing raised his head, his dark eyes looking at He Rui, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing the same aggrieved look as before, "But didn't you say you liked me?"
He Rui explained dryly, "I was just guessing. Because the background music was playing love songs, that's why I..."
"Then do you reject me?" Ji Changqing brought the topic back.
“.....”
He Rui looked down at the ambiguous posture of the two and shook his head honestly.
If you were to reject me, I would have thrown my fists at you long ago.
After all, if someone else held him on his lap like this, it would be a provocation to his male dignity, an offense, and sexual harassment.
But his brother is different.
As for his brother Ji...it seems like a hug would be nice...
