Chapter 33: Mr. Feng had another bt today. The feeling of losing control made him...
Qi Yu quickly hung up the phone and walked home with Grandma Wang in his arms. "Grandma, don't listen to him. Dinner is ready, right? Let's go eat."
Grandma Wang grabbed him with her backhand, her face showing confusion, worry, and bewilderment, but she still asked softly, "Xiao Yu, your partner... is he a man?"
The small county town was not as tolerant and open as the big cities, and there had never been any rumors of homosexuality. Grandma Wang looked obviously frightened by Feng Ji's gender.
Qi Yu didn't want to worry Grandma Wang about something like this right after returning. Besides, he and Feng Ji weren't a couple to begin with, so he immediately denied it, saying, "He's not my partner. He was just joking with you. I'm not in a relationship yet."
This was the truth, but Grandma Wang didn't believe it at all. "Xiao Yu, don't lie to me. Are you saying this because you're afraid I can't accept it? I heard you guys talking on the balcony just now, and I can tell you and that...that guy have a good relationship."
Qi Yu: "...No, grandma, he's really not the one for me."
Grandma Wang patted his hand and led Qi Yu to the living room, saying as they walked, "Although I've never seen two men together, but... if you like Xiaoyu and he treats you well, I have no objection. Living together is a matter for two people, and what matters most is that you like him."
Qi Yu was pulled to sit on the sofa in the living room. He struggled to explain himself, but Grandma Wang didn't give him a chance. She bombarded him with questions, "How old is that boy? How did you meet? Who of you pursued whom? How is his job? Is it stable? He can't be a gigolo, right? Do you have a photo to show me? Is he handsome? He needs to be handsome enough for you. Our Xiao Yu is so handsome, he needs to be paired with a handsome guy."
Qi Yu: “…”
So, Grandma Wang, who has lived in a small county town for most of her life, just accepted the fact that he had a boyfriend so easily?
This acceptance ability is stronger than that of many parents in big cities.
Qi Yu pinched his brows with a headache. Seeing that Grandma Wang was still staring at him with curiosity, he had no choice but to tell her Feng Ji's identity information in detail.
"He's in his late twenties and works as the general manager of our company. He's an old...colleague of mine and has a pretty stable job."
Grandma Wang obviously enjoyed hearing him talk about himself. She smiled and said, "Being a manager in a company is good. You can earn a lot and support your family. Where's the photo? Show it to me."
Qi Yu didn't have any photos of Feng Ji saved in his phone, and he finally found them in a group photo of the company's team building.
Pointing at the man standing behind him, Qi Yu said to Grandma Wang, "It's him."
"Oh my..." Grandma Wang squinted her eyes and stared at the screen. After seeing the person in the photo clearly, she began to worry again. "This...this boy is quite strong and looks a bit fierce."
She glanced at Qi Yu and said, "You have skinny arms and legs... Does he have a good personality? He won't hit anyone, right? I've been seeing a lot of news on TV lately about domestic violence. People who have relationship disputes and hit others don't get given severe sentences. It's a sin."
"Don't worry, I won't hit you." Qi Yu comforted him.
She won't hit people, but she will kiss them until their bodies are covered with hickeys, which is very scary.
"That's good." Grandma Wang was relieved. "Next time you have a chance, bring him back for me to see."
"Okay, I understand, grandma."
Agree to it first, and next time grandma asks, Qi Yu will say that they broke up.
"Let's eat. I'm hungry."
"Okay, eat. You're tired today, go back and rest early after dinner."
Qi Yu stood up and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. While eating, the screen of his mobile phone on the table kept flashing. He looked down and saw that they were all messages from Feng Ji.
Qi Yu didn't click on it, but Grandma Wang saw the note and couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Yu, if you don't reply to the message, he will be worried."
Qi Yu grabbed the phone with his backhand and said, "It's okay, I'll call back after dinner."
Grandma Wang smiled and shook her head, "It's true that she's clingy..."
…
…
After the meal, Qi Yu chatted with Grandma Wang for a while, left the box of supplements at Grandma Wang's house, and then went downstairs to take a taxi back to the hotel.
During this period, Feng Ji sent him messages to harass him from time to time, but he probably didn't dare to call because he was concerned about Grandma Wang being next to him.
It was only after Qi Yu returned to the hotel, took a shower and lay down on the bed that he remembered to reply to the other party's message.
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Baby, why did you hang up the phone?]
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Baby, can grandma accept that your partner is a boy?]
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Baby, why don’t you reply to my message?]
Qi Yu was so angry that he almost laughed.
Qi Yu: [Who are you dating?]
Qi Yu: [Aren’t we just friends with benefits?]
The next second after the message was sent——
[“A clingy person who loves to call random names” requests a voice call with you]
Don’t want to answer, hang up.
[“A clingy person who loves to call random names” requests a voice call with you]
Then hang up.
[“A clingy person who loves to call random names” requests a video call with you]
After hanging up twice in a row, the call switched directly from voice to video. This time, Qi Yu started typing after hanging up.
Qi Yu: [I don’t want to call you right now]
Feng Ji finally stopped calling after seeing the message, but Qi Yu still felt a tinge of grievance between the lines: [Sorry, baby. I only said that today because grandma sounded very expectant. I didn’t mean anything else.]
Qi Yu was too lazy to correct the term "baby": [I gave the supplements to grandma, and she asked me to say thank you to you]
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Grandma, I’m glad you accepted it. Baby, are you still at grandma’s house now?]
Qi Yu lay on the bed, poking at the input method, typing slowly: [In the hotel]
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Grandma is not here, I want to video chat with you, can you answer my call?]
Qi Yu still remembered his "General Feng's dopamine cooling plan" and still refused to give in: "No, I'm tired and need to sleep."
He didn't want to, and Feng Ji couldn't force him, so he said good night to Qi Yu.
There was no reply from the other end, and the chat box between the two gradually fell silent.
Tonight Feng Ji moved back to his own home and returned to sleeping alone, but he felt no sleepiness at all while lying in bed.
On the first day after Qi Yu left, he felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he was anxiously scratching his head.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to
Living with Qi Yu these days, he can kiss her or hug her whenever he wants after work, and even at night when he goes to bed, the young man will take the initiative to snuggle into his arms.
Now he suddenly has to return to a dull life alone, and he even has to endure such a life for seven whole days.
If there wasn't such a large group that needed him, Feng Ji would have wanted to buy the nearest ticket right now to go to Suishan County to find someone.
He took out all of Qi Yu's clothes from the closet and placed them on the bed one by one, but the scent of Qi Yu on them had completely dissipated over time.
How can a few pieces of clothes compare to the person lying in his arms?
If he had known it would be so painful, he should have taken the pajamas home in the morning.
At least the breath from above could ease his extremely anxious heart at the moment.
…
Qi Yu did not reply to Feng Ji's good night message. He turned off his phone, closed his eyes, found a comfortable position and prepared to sleep.
There will be a big market in Suishan County tomorrow morning, and he agreed to accompany Grandma Wang, so he has to get up very early.
In addition, I sat in the car for a whole day. Although I bought a business class ticket, it would be a lie to say that I wasn’t tired after an eight-hour drive. The right thing to do was to rest early.
However, Qi Yu closed his eyes a little after nine o'clock, and lay there until half past ten without falling asleep.
In the darkness, the young man opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time before giving up on trying to sleep. He sat up from the bed with a headache.
I'm very tired, but I just can't sleep.
When I slept with Feng Ji a few days ago, his sleep quality was obviously very good.
etc…
Feng Ji.
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and looked down at the bed where he was the only one.
A somewhat absurd but reasonable fact gradually emerged in his mind.
Could it be that... in just a week, he has already gotten used to falling asleep in Feng Ji's arms?
Qi Yu has never felt that he is someone who needs to rely on others.
From childhood to adulthood, he has been alone on most of his life journeys.
However, now that he had returned to his hometown alone, without Feng Ji by his side, he couldn't even sleep...
Habits are really scary.
Qi Yu sat on the bed for a while, then lay back down, touched the cell phone pressing against the pillow and turned it on.
During the time he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, Feng Ji didn't send him any more messages. Looking at the lonely goodnight message lying in the chat box, Qi Yu moved his fingers, not knowing what to reply for a moment.
He just said he was going to sleep, and now he's replying after more than an hour, which is too weird...
Just when Qi Yu was hesitating to put the phone back, he found that the note in the note column had changed to "The other party is typing..."
Qi Yu stopped turning off the screen and waited patiently for news from the man.
However, the remarks column flashed for a long time, but not a single word was sent from the other end.
Qi Yu just watched the remarks column flashing in front of him for more than a minute, and finally couldn't help but typed a question mark.
Seeing this question mark, the remarks column flashed excitedly again.
But this time, Qi Yu finally saw the message sent by the other party.
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Baby, aren’t you sleeping?]
Qi Yu was too embarrassed to tell him the truth, so he just replied: [I can’t sleep.]
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [If you can’t sleep, call me, okay?]
A clingy person who loves to call people names randomly: [Don’t reject me (pitiful)]
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
The next second after he let go, a video call from Feng Ji popped up.
“Why is it a video…”
Qi Yu frowned, paused for a second, and then picked up the phone.
"Baby."
In the darkness, the man's deep voice was particularly pleasant.
Qi Yu turned on the speaker. The sound made his ears numb. He quickly turned down the volume and said in a dissatisfied and flustered tone, "Didn't I tell you not to call me that?"
"It's just the two of us now, can't we call each other?" The man coaxed him softly, "I like calling you that."
Although it was a video call, neither of them turned on the lights, and the camera looked at it in complete darkness. But listening to the man's breathing on the other end, Qi Yu always had the illusion that Feng Ji was talking to him face to face.
Qi Yu buried his face in the pillow again, holding the phone and whispering, "You often call me like this, what if you let something slip at work in the future?"
"No." Feng Ji chuckled softly, "Baby, you've trained me well. I only call you like this when I'm off work... and when I'm going to bed."
"..." Qi Yu's face flushed, and he stretched out his hand to hold the phone further away. "What are you talking about? When did I..."
"Yes, I was just talking nonsense. Don't be angry." Feng Ji stared at the pitch-black screen. He couldn't see Qi Yu's face, but he could hear the rustling sound of his hair rubbing against the pillow. He could smell Qi Yu's intoxicating fragrance as if he were thousands of miles away. He couldn't help but say, "Baby... I miss you so much."
"I really want to hug you and kiss you. I'm not used to you not being around. Please come back soon."
Qi Yu buried half of his face in the pillow. When he spoke again, his voice became muffled. "My tickets are already booked. I can't go back early. And I've only been back for one day."
"A day is long," the man sighed. "You've been my assistant for so long. When have we ever been apart for more than a day?"
Qi Yu stopped talking.
Feng Ji: "Baby, don't be silent."
Qi Yu whispered, "I said it..."
Feng Ji asked, "Did you miss me?"
Pray for silence.
He didn't know whether he had thought about it or not, nor did he know how to answer.
"Baby?"
Feng Ji called him again when he got no answer. Qi Yu pursed his lips and snuggled into the quilt. He said in a muffled voice, "Don't ask me anymore. I have to get up early tomorrow and go to bed. I'm going to hang up now."
"Don't hang up, I won't ask anymore!" After finally getting a call, Feng Ji was afraid that he would really hang up, so he quickly stopped talking.
Qi Yu is thin-skinned and slow-witted. You have to boil the frog in warm water and take it slow and not push him too far.
"Don't hang up. Just go to sleep. I'll hang up after you fall asleep, okay?"
Qi Yu replied "OK" and put the phone back on the bedside.
He closed his eyes and heard Feng Ji say "Good night" to him.
He could hear the familiar breathing of a man. In a trance, it seemed as if Feng Ji was still sleeping beside him, stroking his back with his big hands, gently coaxing him to sleep.
His consciousness gradually became blurred, Qi Yu's eyelids became heavy, and he slowly fell asleep.
…
After a good night's sleep, Qi Yu was woken up by the alarm clock the next day and found that the video call had not been disconnected all night.
If his phone hadn't been plugged into a charging cable, it would have run out of battery and turned off by now.
Feng Ji should not have woken up at this time, and it was Qi Yu who hung up the phone in the end.
At five o'clock in the morning, Qi Yu dressed neatly and took a taxi to Grandma Wang's house.
At this time, young people in the city are either still asleep or still asleep, but for the elderly in small towns who sleep less, most of them have already gotten up and gone downstairs for a walk.
Grandma Wang didn't make breakfast, so the two of them planned to go to the market to buy some hot steamed rice cakes.
On the way to the market, Grandma Wang asked, "You didn't reply to your boyfriend's messages yesterday. Did he get angry with you when you got home last night?"
Qi Yu thought Grandma Wang was really nosy, but still replied, "No."
"The boy has a good temper." Grandma Wang said with a smile, "But if he had a bad temper, our Xiaoyu wouldn't want him."
Qi Yu scratched his face and smiled in response.
The closer you get to the market, the more people there are. People have already set up stalls at the market this early. At a glance, there are a lot of breakfast stalls, all selling freshly steamed cakes. When you open the steamer, you can see sticky hot steam rising in the air.
Qi Yu bought himself a piece of soft osmanthus rice cake. Grandma Wang held a big meat bun in her hand and pulled him to buy vegetables.
The vegetables sold at the market are cheaper than those in the vegetable market. They are all grown by each family and taste more delicious.
Not long after walking, Qi Yu was holding several bags full of vegetables.
Qi Yu had just squeezed past a breakfast stall and was still mourning for his own white shoes that had just been stepped on when a surprised female voice came from the front. "Auntie Wang, you're here at the fair too. The guy next to you... isn't that your son?"
"My son is still working out of town, and won't be back until after the Lunar New Year." Grandma Wang smiled and introduced the woman, "Chunxia, let me introduce you. This is Qiyu, my former neighbor's child. He took a special leave to come visit me."
"Oh—" Hearing this name, Chunxia suddenly realized, "Is it the child from the Qi family who was admitted to Jing University? Hello, hello, you should have graduated by now and stayed in Jing City to work, right?"
Qi Yu nodded politely.
Chunxia immediately burst into laughter. "That's great! He's so handsome, well-educated, and has a good job. Xiaoyu, are you dating? I have a daughter who just graduated from college. She's very pretty, but she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. How about I introduce you two to each other and set you up on a blind date? If you're attracted to each other, you can get engaged right after the New Year!"
"Then let my daughter go with you to Beijing to develop. Do you have a house? Do you have a car?"
Qi Yu had never thought that after returning to his hometown, he would be urged to go on a blind date by an aunt he didn't know. Before he could say no, Grandma Wang beside him spoke first, "You wishful thinking, our Xiao Yu has a partner. His partner is the general manager of Beijing City, and he doesn't need you to introduce him."
"You have a partner..." Chunxia's expression suddenly became a little regretful when she heard that. After all, she had never met many people with Qi Yu's conditions in such a long time.
She was about to try again, but Grandma Wang quickly pulled Qi Yu away.
"Ignore her. She keeps pushing her daughter to get married, and her daughter isn't even willing to come home for the New Year. Let's go, there's a peanut candy stall up ahead. Let's go buy some with grandma. We've eaten all the ones at home."
At the big fair, the two of them had a great harvest and went home with their hands full of things.
Even though I bought a lot, I didn't spend much. In Jing City, a cup of milk tea cost twenty yuan, and in Suishan County, two bags of side dishes, a bag of peanut candy, and three bags of fruit also cost twenty yuan.
The price difference is so big that it seems like we are not in the same country.
I digested the steamed rice cakes and buns I had in the morning while walking around. It was only a little after eight when I got home, so I couldn't help but feel hungry again.
Grandma Wang went to the kitchen to make dumplings, and Qi Yu sat on the sofa in the living room to look at the fully furnished houses in the city.
Just when I collected a few suitable sets, Feng Ji called.
As soon as Qi Yu answered the phone, a familiar sound of "baby" rang out in Grandma Wang's house.
I forgot to turn off the speaker last night. Qi Yu glanced at the kitchen and hurriedly turned down the volume.
"Why are you calling so early?" Qi Yu asked.
Feng Ji: "When I woke up and saw you hung up the phone, I knew you were awake too, so I wanted to call you."
"Baby, where are you? Is there anyone around? Why don't you get some more sleep? Why are you up so early?"
Qi Yu was confused by the series of questions. He always felt that Feng Ji seemed to have an overly strong desire to know his specific movements.
But if you think about it carefully, these seem to be some very common questions.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Qi Yu replied, "I went to the market with my grandma this morning, so I got up a little early."
"I'm back from the market now, waiting for grandma to cook dumplings for me."
After hearing his answer, the man didn't express any thoughts, but just asked again: "Did you encounter anything interesting at the market?"
"Nothing fun, just shopping..." Qi Yu answered perfunctorily, without telling Feng Ji about how he was almost dragged to a blind date at the market.
As he was speaking, Grandma Wang had already brought two bowls of steaming dumplings to the table. Seeing that he was talking to Feng Ji on the phone, she also came over.
She had never seen a man talking to another man, and was very curious about Qi Yu's boyfriend, so she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yu, are you on the phone with your boyfriend?"
Qi Yu was stunned. He looked at Grandma Wang, then looked at his phone, and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Although the sound was small, Feng Ji could still hear it clearly. The man held the phone and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips in pleasure.
It seems that although Qi Yu hung up the phone yesterday, she still admitted her relationship with him in front of Grandma Wang.
Whether it was a voluntary admission or a forced admission was not within Feng Ji's consideration.
He then took the initiative to call out, "Grandma."
Grandma Wang sat down on the sofa after hearing the voice and responded, "Are you Xiaoyu's girlfriend? I don't even know what to call you yet."
Feng Ji: "Grandma, my name is Feng Ji."
Grandma Wang nodded. "Feng Ji, that's a good name. Can I call you Xiao Feng?"
"Okay, you can call me whatever you want." Feng Ji agreed quickly and started talking again, "I heard from Xiaoyu that you guys just came back from the market, but I haven't been to the market yet."
"Going to the market is just about shopping, just like you city people go to the supermarket." Grandma Wang smiled, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. She joked, "Today at the market, someone saw Xiaoyu's good looks and wanted to drag him to a blind date with their daughter. But I knew you were dating, so I rejected him."
“…”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. When he spoke again, his tone was strange and inexplicable, "So I encountered this kind of thing at the market."
"That's right. With Xiaoyu's qualifications, matchmakers would be vying for her in the surrounding area." Grandma Wang didn't notice anything wrong. She patted Qiyu's hand, stood up and said, "The dumplings are ready. Chat for a while and then come eat, otherwise they'll be cold."
Qi Yu nodded, indicating that he understood. When Grandma Wang left and he and Feng Ji were alone, Qi Yu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
He concealed the fact that he was almost dragged on a blind date, and he also heard something wrong in Feng Ji's tone.
But...this shouldn't be a big deal, right?
After thinking for a while, Qi Yu said dryly, "Boss Feng, I should go have breakfast. I'll hang up now."
Feng Ji didn't say much. He just responded softly, as if he was emotional.
Qi Yu slowly pressed the hang-up button, sat there in silence for a moment, and walked towards the dining table.
Until now, he still didn't think there was anything wrong with hiding the matter, and it was not worth Feng Ji being uncomfortable about it.
There was no need to report all his personal affairs to Feng Ji like he did with his work reports.
…
…
“Beep…beep…beep…”
The sound of the phone being hung up echoed in the room. Feng Ji held the phone tightly with a gloomy expression.
Irritable, impatient, and uneasy.
All kinds of negative emotions surrounded him, making him feel hot and anxious.
The source of my restlessness and irritability comes from the person who is now thousands of miles away from me.
Qi Yu lied to him about a small matter just like last time.
But this time it's different, very different.
The last time he discovered that Qi Yu was lying, he could immediately set out to find that person and bring him back to his side.
But this time, Qi Yu was not under his supervision and did not reply to his messages often. He had no way of knowing what he was doing, who he was talking to, or where he was going.
He had no idea about Qi Yu's whereabouts.
As long as Qi Yu is unwilling, even the answers he asks may be false.
This feeling of unbalanced desire for control made him panic, depressed, and even painful.
His heart seemed to be torn into two parts. One half was clamoring for him to go over and bring Qi Yu back right now and keep him by his side; the other half was comforting him, saying that maintaining the balance in the current relationship was the most important thing, and not to be radical or scare Qi Yu.
The back and forth pulling was so painful that the man's chest was heaving violently. He wanted to call Qi Yu again, but he was afraid that his current condition would make the other party suspicious.
He was caught in a dilemma and stood there for a long time without moving.
After a while, he walked into the bathroom, scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face, took a deep breath, and opened a private studio shop that he had not visited for a long time.
There aren't many things in the store, mostly related to electronic products.
Miniature cameras, doorbell electronic monitoring, fire alarms, vehicle GPS locators...
The thumb slid across the screen, sliding across one product link after another, and finally stopped suddenly.
