This was the first time Sheng Yan had kissed Qin Zigui so forcefully and aggressively, as if he was trying to prove something with this kiss, leaving Qin Zigui no room or opportunity to defend herself.
For the first time, Qin Zigui felt Sheng Yan's proactive advances in love. He responded gently yet forcefully, his fingers gripping Sheng Yan's waist tighter and tighter, his bent legs almost pressing Sheng Yan into his arms.
The slightly warm touch of his skin made Qin Zigui's hand involuntarily slip under the hem of his clothes and wander around, and Sheng Yan did not stop him.
He wanted Qin Zigui to be a little willful; he wanted Qin Zigui to do whatever he wanted.
At least in front of him, Qin Zigui could do that.
Qin Zigui always indulged his love, and he wanted to love Qin Zigui in the same way.
It wasn't until the other person placed him on the bed and probed his body with their fingers that he couldn't resist the stimulation and hugged Qin Zigui's neck tightly.
Qin Zigui asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Sheng Yan didn't speak, but instead tilted his head back and bit the mole on Qin Zigui's Adam's apple, receiving a response that was so forceful and almost unquestionable that he had never seen before.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, so heavy that Sheng Yan couldn't tell whether his tearful pleas for mercy were an illusion.
In any case, when Sheng Yan woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. He found that his whole body was in pain as soon as he moved. When he opened his mouth to call Qin Zigui, his voice was also very hoarse.
Damn it! Who the hell said Qin Zigui isn't willful? When Qin Zigui gets willful, he's not even human!
Recalling how he almost cried and begged Brother Zigui last night, Sheng Yan buried his head in the pillow in shame.
He was supposed to be a top! How did things turn out like this?!
They grew up eating almost the same food and having the same meals, so how come Qin Zigui is so tall, so strong, and that other thing is so... well...?
And why is it that when it's their first time dating, Qin Zigui seems to know everything? He just does whatever Qin Zigui says. Can a top student be a top student everywhere?!
Sheng Yan wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, feeling utterly ashamed.
When Qin Zigui entered the room carrying a bowl of porridge, all he saw was a withdrawn little ostrich on the bed.
Qin Zigui reached out and pulled Sheng Yan's head out from under the covers, chuckling softly, "Do you still want me to be willful?"
Sheng Yan ignored him completely, pulled the blanket over himself again.
Qin Zigui stopped teasing him, but reached into the blanket, covered his stomach, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It's alright, but hey, don't touch me like that!"
When Qin Zigui touched him, Sheng Yan recalled the scene from last night and immediately felt that his stomach was no longer clean.
Fortunately, Qin Zigui cleaned him up very thoroughly yesterday, so he wasn't too uncomfortable today.
Qin Zigui patted his head: "It's my fault. I didn't study the safety education manual well and didn't prepare the necessary items. I'll remember to buy them next time."
"Qin Zigui!!!"
Although Sheng Yan hadn't had time to study the safety education manual yet, he knew what Qin Zigui was talking about buying, and he thought Qin Zigui was so shameless!
Hearing that his voice was terribly hoarse, Qin Zigui chuckled softly, "Was I too fierce last night?"
Yes, a little.
Although Qin Zigui tried her best to be gentle and careful, her inherent assertiveness still made Sheng Yan feel somewhat unfamiliar with her.
He had never seen Qin Zigui so fierce before.
It's like something that's been bottled up for a very, very long time.
Thinking of this possibility, Sheng Yan covered himself up again.
Some people appear to be aloof, abstinent academic geniuses, but in reality, they are ravenous beasts!
But he didn't cover himself completely, leaving only the tips of his two bright red ears sticking out, which made Qin Zigui unable to resist reaching out and gently pinching them: "Then I'll be gentler next time, okay?"
"There won't be a next time! Don't touch me, go away! I want to sleep!" Sheng Yan was both ashamed and angry, and didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Zigui.
Qin Zigui didn't force him: "Okay, then you go to sleep first, and I'll leave after you fall asleep."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yan immediately sat up in bed, looked at him, and asked, "What time is it?"
"Your flight is tonight, so I can still cook you dinner before I leave."
When Qin Zigui finished speaking, Sheng Yan lowered his eyelids.
Qin Zigui picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped out a spoonful, and held it to his lips: "Don't worry, I'll be back after the competition. You can go home and stay with Aunt Xu for the next two months."
Sheng Yan swallowed the porridge and gave a muffled "hmm".
While feeding him porridge, Qin Zigui whispered, "I've compiled the basic knowledge points for all subjects for you. If you don't understand what the teacher is saying, just ignore it and go through the knowledge points step by step. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask Lin Qian and Chen Yubai. If you still don't understand what they're saying, save it for when you get home tonight and ask me via video."
Sheng Yan nodded: "Mm."
“I’ve already spoken to Chen Yubai. He’ll bring you breakfast every morning from now on. Remember to eat it and don’t go hungry. When I’m not home, eat less spicy and cold food, otherwise Grandma will be getting old and there will be no one to take care of you.”
Sheng Yan nodded: "Mm."
"I keep a small first-aid kit in my desk drawer. I take it out and look through it when I get hurt or feel unwell. I have notes attached to the corresponding symptoms, which is more convenient than going to the infirmary."
Sheng Yan nodded: "Mm."
“When you go back to school this time, there will definitely be some unpleasant things said. If you are unhappy, you can curse back, or have Zhu Peng and Gou You go back with sarcastic remarks, but fighting is not allowed.”
Sheng Yan nodded: "Mm."
"Let me play every time you hit me."
Shengyan Point...
Um? !
"If you miss me, call me and tell me. Don't cry alone in secret."
? ? ?
"Qin Zigui! Just say it properly, then apply the medicine! And who the hell is going to cry! I'm a real man, I never cry, okay?"
Sheng Yan, the little chicken, nodded halfway through when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He immediately raised his head and righteously defended his male dignity.
Seeing that he was no longer so downcast, Qin Zigui chuckled softly, "When did I say that I was applying medicine?"
"...Qin Zigui! Don't be a pervert!"
"And I remember the last time we didn't see each other for more than five days, some people kept crying and shouting that they wanted to find Brother Zigui. Aunt Xu probably still has the video."
Sheng Yan gritted his teeth: "That happened when I was five years old!"
Sheng Yan still remembers when he was five years old, Qin Zigui was sick and went to Beijing for two months. He couldn't find her and cried his heart out at home. He even became the laughing stock of both families.
From then on, there were almost never more than two days without seeing Qin Zigui.
Even during the Cold War, I could see him every day when I went out, and during training camps, Qin Zigui would bring me meals every day.
I thought they could go back to being inseparable after the training camp, but Qin Zigui has to go to another training camp.
Sheng Yan missed the days when Qin Zigui would coax him out of bed every morning, then they would joke around all day, have a fight at night, and then sleep together in bed.
It turns out that liking someone doesn't mean wanting a lot; you just want to be with them every day, sticking together, and not getting tired of it.
Sheng Yan, who was initially furious at Qin Zigui's shamelessness, deflated again.
As if sensing what he was thinking, Qin Zigui reached out and pulled him into her arms: "Ayan, when I come back, we can spend every day together."
"Um."
Sheng Yan nestled in Qin Zigui's arms like an unhappy child.
Qin Zigui asked, "Are you still tired?"
Sheng Yan: "A little."
"Then let me hold you and sleep a little longer, okay?"
"good."
Sheng Yan closed his eyes as Qin Zigui held him, smelling his familiar scent. He let go of all the fatigue and troubles of the past few days, and just held him quietly, as if he wanted to give Qin Zigui some strength, or as if he wanted to give Qin Zigui some strength.
They held each other like that, letting the autumn rain patter outside the window, leaving only a lifetime of tranquility that belonged only to them.
That was Sheng Yan's favorite afternoon that autumn.
The following autumn was the first autumn in which Qin Zigui was not present, as far back as he could remember.
He didn't move back to live with Ms. Xu, but instead lived alone in the small house rented by Qin Zigui.
He felt that a house was not a home; a place where people lived was a home. He hoped that when Qin Zigui returned, his home would be warm and welcoming, with people around.
He said that wherever he was, that was Qin Zigui's home; this was his promise, and he would keep it.
He started bringing home anything he liked, such as a succulent that looked a lot like a Chinese privet, a super comfortable double sofa, a pair of cute little chick chopstick rests, and a set of beautiful bowls.
He brought Cuckoo back from his grandmother's house, assembled a cat tree and set up a cat bed himself, and started to clean Cuckoo's litter box, trim its nails, and bathe it, just like Qin Zigui did. He also liked to sleep with Cuckoo at night, as if he were holding another cuckoo.
He was still a bit reluctant to get out of bed, but the student council president on duty at the gate had been replaced by a junior from the next year. He was no longer the seemingly aloof and indifferent law enforcement AI who always secretly let him off the hook. So every day he had to rush to school just in time and then start to miss Sheng Xiaoyan from Class 6 of Grade 11, whose name was written in his duty log.
He never went to Ran Ge's internet cafe again, and he never played on his phone during class again. Every day, he held the study materials that Qin Zigui had left him, bit his pen, and buried himself in his studies.
He also stopped eating cold or spicy food.
He lived a peaceful and orderly life all by himself, as if he knew that the person who helped him clean up the mess was no longer around, so he suddenly seemed to become sensible.
By the time of the Beginning of Winter, his midterm exam score was less than 20 points away from the first-tier university admission line.
He basically kept his promise to Qin Zigui, but the only thing he didn't change was his enthusiasm for doing good deeds and his inability to bear hearing anyone say a bad word about Qin Zigui.
He and Qin Zigui are both among the most famous figures at Shishiwai School. One is known for consistently ranking first in the district academically, and the other is known for consistently ranking first in fighting. They are quite famous in the surrounding schools.
Therefore, once the photos were posted on Tieba, his shocking romance with Qin Zigui became a hot topic.
Several middle school girls were gossiping and gushing over the good-looking couple, while some boys who were jealous of the two's good looks were being even more vulgar and obscene than gossipy old women.
Unfortunately, the students in the vicinity all ate in the back street, so Sheng Yan would beat someone up almost every week.
When Sheng Yan once again took on five thugs who were making lewd jokes at him, beating them senseless and running away, Zhu Peng and Gou You were heartbroken to see the new bruise on his forehead.
"Ancestor, have you forgotten what you promised Qin Zigui? Can't you just let us go back in our sarcastic way? Why are you fighting?"
They received a lot of benefits from Qin Zigui to help watch over Sheng Yan, but this guy failed to keep an eye on him and even got Sheng Yan injured. If Qin Zigui finds out, the two of them will probably be dead.
Sheng Yan casually twirled his backpack strap as he headed towards school: "He's not here, what are you afraid of?"
“But Yan-ge,” Gou You said worriedly, “the informatics competition winter camp seems to be ending in a couple of days, and Qin Zigui will be back soon too. If your injury doesn’t heal quickly enough…”
"It's none of his business."
Sheng Yan's words were actually somewhat defiant, because during the previous training camp, the two could video chat every day, but after the winter camp started, Qin Zigui had to hand in her phone, and they hadn't been in contact for several days.
So Sheng Yan knew nothing about the current state of the competition, when Qin Zigui would return, or whether he should pick him up when he came back.
It seemed as if he was the only one thinking about Qin Zigui.
But he really missed Qin Zigui.
The breakfast that Chen Yubai brought was not tasty at all, unlike the blueberry-filled bread that Qin Zigui would prepare for him.
Chen Yubai's explanations weren't as good as Qin Zigui's; he couldn't even keep up with his own thought process.
Cuckoo isn't comfortable to sleep with; it sheds, snores, and isn't very secure to hold.
Getting up in the morning is also difficult for him. He still misses the days when he would sleep with his eyes closed and Qin Zigui would wash his face and brush his teeth.
But this bastard doesn't contact him at all.
Scumbag, beast, heartless man.
Sheng Yan felt increasingly aggrieved and angry. Finally, he kicked a pebble hard at the ground and said, "Besides, I'm the one in charge of this family. Letting him manage me is giving him face. If I really want to do something, is it any of his business? When he comes back, I'll show you who the real head of the family is."
Zhu Peng and Gou You: "..."
Although they believed that as long as Sheng Yan said one thing, Qin Zigui would never say another, they also believed that when it came to matters of principle, their brother Yan's cunning was no match for that beast Qin Zigui.
The power of domestic affairs in the Sheng family is mostly still in the hands of the Qin family.
But they didn't dare say that; they could only give each other a look that said, "Whatever makes you happy."
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Sheng Yan was just about to give examples to prove how unafraid he was of Qin Zigui when his phone vibrated.
He looked down.
[The Universe's Most Beautiful Girl]: Sheng Xiaoyan!!! Something terrible has happened!!! I just discovered Qin Zigui has suddenly returned tonight while playing a game on Chen Yubai's phone!!! He's almost at the school gate! I've hidden your snacks and filled your thermos with water. Hurry back for evening self-study!!! Put on your coat!!! Don't try to look cool!!!
"?!"
How could Qin Zigui just come back like that?!
This person isn't even the student council president anymore, so why are they still pulling these surprise attendance checks?!
If Qin Zigui knew that he was late for evening self-study again, and that it was because he had secretly gotten into a fight and was injured, he would definitely be furious.
Remembering Qin Zigui's parting words, "Let me do it every time you hit me," Sheng Yan quickly turned to Zhu Peng and Gou You, asking, "If I said I bumped into something and got this injury on my forehead, would you believe me?"
Zhu Peng and Gou You: "?"
Seeing the two idiots' expressions, Sheng Yan felt they were completely useless, so he decided to give up and said, "Fine, whatever, I'll just say it was you two who did it. Don't let it slip later."
Zhu Peng and Gou You: "???"
Before they could even react to their impending fate, Sheng Yan sprinted forward, skillfully bypassing the school gate, finding a blind spot in the surveillance cameras, tossing his backpack aside, leaping up, grabbing the top of the wall with both hands, and using his strength to flip over.
Then, as he leaped onto the wall, he turned around and bumped into a familiar figure.
Tall, long legs, narrow double eyelids, fair skin.
She stood perfectly positioned where she expected him to land, calmly watching him, looking like she was waiting for him to come to her.
"Sheng Xiaoyan, a student from Class 6 of Senior Three, do you have anything to say?"
"..."
Remembering what Qin Zigui had said before he left, Sheng Xiaoyan, a student in Class 6 of Senior Three, just wanted to know if it was too late for him to bribe the law enforcement officers with a kiss.
