Chapter 52 Chapter 52 You won’t come home with me?! …
Qi Chu left at dusk, feeling uncontrollably upset and as if there was a stone in his chest, feeling extremely depressed. He went to a roadside convenience store, bought cigarettes and a lighter, paid the money, and left with the cigarettes, lighter, and change.
He opened the plastic seal of the cigarette box, picked out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, gathered the air with his left hand, and lit it with his right hand.
Qi Chu took a deep breath through the filter, and the slender cigarette instantly lit up with scarlet dots. Qi Chu held the cigarette in his left hand and slowly exhaled gray-blue smoke.
I don't know when I learned to smoke.
It should have been in high school. He taught himself to smoke without any teacher, and secretly hid in the corner of the teaching building to smoke, and was caught by Xin Ai.
Xin Aiyan looked at him with a smile: "Smoking!"
At that time, Qi Chu had just arrived in Beijing. He had no good feelings towards these second-generation rich and official people, and was even more wary of Xin Ai. He stared at Xin Ai like a frightened animal.
Xin Ai didn't care at all. He came closer to him and said, "Give me one."
Qi Chu was stunned when he saw the face that was so bright and almost ostentatious. He intuitively felt that a pretty kid like Xin Ai shouldn't smoke.
Xin Ai ignored him and took the cigarette from his hand, pulled out one, lit it, took a deep breath, and then choked until tears came out.
Qi Chu was surprised, and then laughed for no apparent reason.
Xin Ai recovered from his coughing fit, but his eyes were stained with bright red. He said, "I really don't understand why you like to smoke this, it's too choking."
Qi Chu thought of many bad things, his face was depressed, and his voice was low: "Yeah, why do you like to smoke this."
For quite a long time, Qi Chu's impression of Xin Ai was that she was a pure art student who drew in class every day and never studied seriously.
In the affiliated high school, or in the eyes of the top students who scored full marks in the high school entrance examination and won the mathematics competition, art students are poor students. He thought that a student like Xin Ai who was good-looking and came from a wealthy family should be a poor student. It was not until a pop test when Xin Ai scored full marks in mathematics and no one around was surprised that Qi Chu realized that he might have a prejudice against Xin Ai.
Xu You saw his confusion and said, "In the eyes of us, Xin Ai is the academic genius."
Then, she picked up his paper again and exclaimed, "Oh wow, another full score."
"When did it become so easy to get a perfect score on a math test?!"
"Our school's exams are notoriously difficult."
His deskmate would listen carefully when the teacher was explaining new knowledge, and would draw when he was working on papers or some unimportant classes. He never did homework because he would never finish it in his lifetime.
It seems like I was attracted by this kind of contact.
Xin Ai is a glimmer of light in his oppressive life.
Thinking of Xin Ai, his life became lighter.
Qi Chu never thought that one day, he would feel suffocatingly depressed when thinking of Xin Ai.
"call……"
Qi Chu picked up the cigarette, took another puff, and exhaled light gray smoke again.
It was a cool autumn night, and the cool and handsome guy smoking on the roadside with a decadent look was undoubtedly extremely attractive. Girls passing by frequently looked back at him. He was really handsome, but his coldness and alienation made people afraid to approach him.
Some people are so handsome that they can only be admired from afar but not touched. Qi Chu is such a beautiful woman on the mountain top.
The one who broke the silence was Mo Xinyue. She walked over quickly and called out, "Brother Qi Chu."
When Qi Chu saw Mo Xinyue, he put out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can.
Mo Xinyue has a pure and clean face of a school beauty, and her body is thin and slender. She has a typical appearance of a little white flower. She looks weak and charming, which can easily arouse men's desire to protect her, and make girls feel that she is harmless.
Qi Chu frowned when he saw her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Mo Xinyue said in a clear voice: "Brother Qi Chu, I'm here to see you."
Qi Chu said nothing.
Mo Xinyue was used to Qi Chu's silence. She looked at him pitifully and said, "Brother Qi Chu, you know I came to Beijing just for you. I like you and have liked you since I was a child. Can you please stop rejecting me?"
Qi Chu raised his eyes and glanced at him. He was somewhat gentle and reluctant to part with his old friend. He said, "I am gay."
After a pause, thinking that this was after all a little girl from the neighborhood, and a classical dance student at his mother's dance studio, Qi Chu persuaded in a soft voice, "Mo Xinyue, you are beautiful, a good dancer, and have a wealthy family. Just date a normal person. I am a gay."
Mo Xinyue obviously knew that Qi Chu had been through a lot of other things during the three years of separation, but: "I've learned that you have been rejecting Xin Ai's confession. You have never been in a relationship. You were normal in junior high school, and you are still normal now. You just...deliberately used this reason to reject me."
Qi Chu said in a firm voice: "I like Xin Ai."
Mo Xinyue asked tentatively, "Is it possible that you are just used to Xin Ai's pursuit of you during the three years of high school, and now he is with someone else, and you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart. You will be fine after a while."
Qi Chu sneered when he heard this: "It would be great if it could really get better after a while."
Then, this time, Qi Chu's refusal was no longer polite, "Mo Xinyue, I have said many times that I am a gay and I like Xin Ai. Moreover, whether I like Xin Ai or not, I don't like you. You are just... my neighbor when I was a child."
After saying this, Qi Chu went to the roadside, hailed a taxi, got in and left.
Mo Xinyue looked hurt and her body was trembling. She watched Qi Chu leave, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
It was not until the taxi had gone completely far away and she could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror that Mo Xinyue's expression turned cold.
Mo Xinyue knew from a young age that she had to get married. Compared to those ugly old men who took advantage of their family background and had no self-restraint and started looking for young and beautiful women who had graduated from prestigious universities to reproduce when they reached a certain age, and who cheated on their partners even after marriage, Qi Chu was obviously in a better condition.
The Qi family is one of the most powerful families in the imperial city, and Qi Chu was trained as an heir. Qi Chu was destined to inherit the huge fortune of the Qi family. Qi Chu himself was also very outstanding. As a candidate for reproduction, he had excellent genes, and his appearance, IQ, and character were impeccable. She and Qi Chu also had a friendship dating back to their youth.
Qi Chu is the best Mo Xinyue can find, even if Qi Chu looks down on her.
But she had to try.
As for... Qi Chu is a gay, this is actually an advantage. When the Qi family is choosing a partner for Qi Chu, they will definitely lower the requirements based on his sexual orientation. After all, which wealthy family would marry their daughter to a gay man?
On the other side, Qi Chu returned to the Qi family. As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Qi Lan. Qi Lan said in a cold tone: "Come to the study and talk with me."
When Qi Chu was a child, his impression of Qi Lan was that besides being strict and busy, he also had a warm and affectionate side. After Qi Lan taught him strictly, he would praise his intelligence, and after he got full marks in the exam, he would reward him with pocket money to buy him more exercises...
By the third year of junior high school, this man had become hideous and terrifying in his eyes. Qi Chu knew clearly that Qi Lan had no fatherly love for him. He only cared about his brains and abilities. His eldest son, whom he had carefully raised, was ruined abroad, but this illegitimate son... was quite outstanding.
With the passing of his mother, Qi Chu came to Beijing, and Qi Lan's desire to control him became more and more obvious.
Qi Chu was reluctant, but he had no choice but to follow Qi Lan into the study. Otherwise, the two of them would start arguing in the living room, which would be very annoying. So they decided to go to the study to argue.
As soon as Qi Lan entered the study, he glared at Qi Chu, looking fierce and irritable: "Didn't I ask you to get back on good terms with Xin Ai? Xin Ai is hosting a party tonight, and it hasn't ended yet, so why are you back?!"
Qi Chu's voice was as cold as ice and snow: "Xin Ai has a boyfriend, or... do you think everyone is like you, marrying a wife of equal status in Beijing, and then going to the south to find a gentle and beautiful female college student to cheat on her marriage, one in the south and one in the north, trying to have the blessing of having two wives at once."
Qi Lan was so angry that he fell backwards: "How can you talk like that?!"
Qi Chu thought of Xin Ai, and his voice became soft: "Xin Ai is a very good person, and I am not his friend, just his ambiguous object in his youth. He doesn't welcome me in the parties he organizes. My presence will only make him and his boyfriend embarrassed. Fortunately, he and his boyfriend don't care."
At the end, his expression was lonely again. He looked at Qi Lan and his expression turned cold: "Don't force me to do anything anymore. People can't have it all. I could have been with Xin Ai, but it was you who didn't allow me to like the same sex."
"If it weren't for you, when Xin Ai confessed to me in the first year of high school, I would have agreed."
"Instead of being threatened by you, saying that you would find someone to mess with Xin Ai, and then I was beaten up by you, and appeared in front of him more than an hour late, and then rejected him."
Qi Lan obviously couldn't listen to this. When he reached middle age, he was only stubborn and self-centered. He preached to himself, "You know how capable Xin Ai's father, Shen Yu, is. For quite a long time in the future, people like Shen Yu who work in real estate will have a lot of money. If our family has a better relationship with his family, it will be easy to attract investment in the future."
"As for gay men, that thing is too disgusting. Isn't this a bunny?"
Qi Chu felt that he and Qi Lan were talking at cross purposes and could not communicate. He laughed at himself and said, "I am Lord Rabbit."
Qi Lan was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his head.
Qi Chu couldn't stay there even for a second. He strode away and took a taxi back to school.
In the back seat of the taxi, Qi Chu leaned back in his seat, lights and neon lights flashing in his eyes, his delicate and three-dimensional face was full of confusion and dejection.
Qi Chu asked himself, how can I destroy the Qi family and successfully take revenge, or in other words, before the Qi family is destroyed, I should be the first to be destroyed.
As for Qi Lan, when he saw Qi Chu leaving, he looked indifferent. He was just a teenage boy being rebellious.
Qi Chu will realize in the future that except for money, everything is empty.
These love affairs are not important at all.
*
Everyone had a great time at the game organized by Xin Ai, and the game ended at around 11 o'clock.
Xin Ai and Fu Xize went downstairs and sent these friends to the car one by one: "Be careful at night, call me if you have any problems."
The last people to be sent off were Zhou Yanshen and Xu You. These two had a closer relationship with Xin Ai and lived nearby, so they went home in the same car.
Before getting in the car, Zhou Yanshen told Xin Ai about the cycling trip. He said, "Xu You and I have already discussed the cycling trip. Tomorrow morning, Xu You and I will come to find you."
Xin Ai thought it was already late tonight and going back to school would be troublesome. He planned to stay at home with Fu Xize for one night, so he said, "I'll stay at home tonight."
Zhou Yanshen smiled and said, "That's even more convenient. Xu You and I will go home too. We will set out directly from home and have breakfast before looking for you."
Xu You drank a lot, but his mind was still clear. He leaned out from the back seat of the car and set a time: "It's the weekend, and I drank again. How about we meet at your house at nine o'clock?"
Xin Ai agreed readily: "Okay."
After the campus bike ride was finalized, Zhou Yanshen got in the car. Xin Ai helped him close the door and reminded him, "Be careful, and remember to send Xu You home. He drank a lot."
Zhou Yanshen said, "Don't worry, I will send him to his bed before going home."
Xu You yelled, "Go away."
Xin Ai laughed, but still agreed: "That's good."
Zhou Yanshen stuck his head out of the car window and looked at Fu Xize: "You guys should also pay attention to safety."
Fu Xize knew that Zhou Yanshen was referring to him. His voice was cold but firm, giving people a very reliable feeling: "I know, don't worry."
Xin Ai said: "My family's driver came to pick me up specially."
Zhou Yanshen finally felt relieved: "That's fine, let's go, see you tomorrow morning."
Xin Ai replied: "See you tomorrow morning."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yanshen and Xu You, Xin Ai and Fu Xize got into his Rolls-Royce.
The Xin family's driver drove slowly forward. In the back seat of the car, Xin Ai buried his head in Fu Xize's arms with a sleepy look on his face. His eyelids drooped and he seemed like he was about to fall asleep at any time.
Fu Xize hugged him with a gentle expression, occasionally some distracting thoughts emerged in his mind, and he felt that his boyfriend was really an energetic and tough guy.
On this day, Xin Ai got up early in the morning and drove him to Xidan. He went shopping and had meals in the morning, returned to school at noon, took a short rest, played a whole game of football in the afternoon, and was still full of energy and socialized everywhere in the evening.
This is an iron man.
Fu Xize was different. Although they had the same itinerary, he did not drive. Although a lot of clothes were bought for him when they were shopping, it was Xin Ai who was in charge of the selection. When playing football in the afternoon, a novice like him ran much less than a small forward who played the whole game and was guarded the whole time. Even in KTV, Fu Xize has always been very frugal when it comes to socializing. He doesn't talk much and has few social engagements.
I often feel that I am not as physically fit and energetic as my boyfriend.
Xin Ai saw Fu Xize smile from the corner of his eye. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Fu Xize shook his head: "Nothing."
Xin Ai withdrew from Fu Xize's arms, turned slightly sideways, leaned forward, tilted her head, and looked up at him from bottom to top, as if trying to see clearly what he was thinking.
Fu Xize thought to himself, it's already half past eleven, and Xin Ai can still look at him so cutely and with bright eyes, it's amazing. Fu Xize leaned over and kissed Xin Ai naturally.
Xin Ai has become accustomed to Fu Xize's casual intimacy. This is how love is. At the beginning, you will be more reserved, but later on, you will probably become so familiar with him that kissing him is almost like kissing yourself, without passion and without any waves.
Thinking of this, Xin Ai laughed secretly.
Fu Xize and he were close friends, and when he saw him snickering, he knew that the prince was thinking about something, so he asked calmly, "What are you thinking about?"
Xin Ai replied: "Nothing."
Fu Xize asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Xin Ai confessed: "I'm wondering if you kissing me now is the same as kissing yourself."
Fu Xize choked and asked tentatively: "...Did you kiss too much?"
Xin Ai said: "No, what I mean is, have we entered the bland mode of getting along like an old couple? There is no passion anymore, and you are so familiar with me that kissing me is almost like kissing yourself."
Fu Xize complained: "...We have only been talking for a short time."
It seems like he has been spoiled. Kissing Xin Ai has become a habit. He doesn't need to think too much and just kisses her directly. Xin Ai won't refuse anyway.
Xin Ai said: "I don't mean anything else, I just feel that this kind of intimacy is good."
Fu Xize grabbed Xin Ai's hand and lifted it up. He lowered his head and kissed the back of Xin Ai's hand. He frowned and thought carefully, carefully recording the feeling of kissing Xin Ai. He turned his hand over again and kissed the back of his own hand again, and concluded: "You are lying. Kissing you can't be the same as kissing myself. Kissing you feels very happy, kissing myself feels... My brain is cramped. Why can't I think about kissing myself? It feels completely different."
Xin Ai saw Fu Xize grabbing his hand and kissing it, then kissing his own hand for comparison, and felt that... Fu Xize had drunk alcohol late at night and was unconscious. Such a good engineering guy actually made such a comparison, but Xin Ai thought he was cute and compared them seriously.
Hearing his conclusion, Xin Ai laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.
Fu Xize argued: "It's really different. Kissing you feels pleasant, but kissing myself feels stupid. Who has nothing better to do than kiss themselves every day?"
Xin Ai laughed: "That makes sense."
After a pause, he laughed again, "Hahaha, it seems there is no need to worry about the passion fading. The feeling of you kissing me is almost the same as kissing yourself."
Fu Xize said: "There's no need to worry, you are Xin Ai."
Xin Ai said "hmm" lazily, wanting to hear what came next.
Fu Xize hugged him, kissed his hair, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xin Ai, you have to know that there are many people in this world who will love you forever."
Xin Ai was suddenly moved. He buried his head in Fu Xize's arms and rubbed him affectionately.
In his previous life, even though he was rotten to the bottom of the mud, Fu Xize loved him all his life.
He loves me so much.
The Xin family villa is quite close to the KTV, and Xin Ai and Fu Xize chat together. The topics are casual and loose, but not boring. There is only the happiness of a couple in love. Even if they are talking about trivial nonsense, they are still incomparably happy.
About ten minutes later, the car drove into Xin Ai's yard.
The car stopped and Xin Ai and Fu Xize got out.
The two stood in the Xin family's lushly vegetated yard and said goodbye reluctantly.
Fu Xize thought it was getting late, so he urged Xin Ai: "Hurry up, it's already late, and you have to get up early tomorrow."
Xin Ai asked with concern: "What about you?"
Fu Xize replied: "I will go back when you return. Don't worry, my home is nearby and I will be there soon."
Xin Ai glanced at him, thinking that it would take at least a few minutes to walk from here to Fu Xize's house. It was the middle of the night and everyone was tired and sleepy. Why bother with so much effort? He took the opportunity to invite him, "How about... you sleep with me?"
Fu Xize was a little confused: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Xin Ai replied in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with this? When we were in elementary and middle school, Xu You and I often slept together."
Fu Xize said: "That's different."
Xin Ai asked, "What's the difference?"
Fu Xize emphasized again: "I am your boyfriend, Xu You is your childhood friend, and from elementary school to junior high school, you are just a child, and I don't have any intentions in that regard at all."
Seeing that Fu Xize was unmoved, Xin Ai changed his words. He grabbed Fu Xize's hand, shook it, raised his eyelids, and begged: "So, you won't go home with me?!"
The night was as dark as water. Xin Ai stood in the yard with lush trees, holding Fu Xize's hand and inviting him.
The street lamps cast a dim light, and Fu Xize seemed to be possessed by a ghost at that moment, and decided to go home with Xin Ai: "Okay."
