Chapter 118



A light kiss.

With an indescribable tenderness and lingering feeling.

Qin Li was just about to chase after her for a deep kiss when Ji Li stopped him without saying a word.

Ji Li squatted beside the wheelchair and lifted up the trouser leg of his lover's left leg according to the information he got from Qi An.

The legs and abdomen were tightly wrapped in gauze, and not a single wound could be seen.

However, from the area covered by the gauze, one can still guess the width and length of the wound.

Ji Li looked up with his pupils trembling slightly, his tone a little depressed, "You asked me not to hide anything from you, and asked me not to push you away no matter what happened, then you did the opposite now, what?"

I got injured while filming for half a month, and you still don't say anything?

Qin Li met his worried eyes and sighed heavily, "I don't want you to be distracted during the filming. Besides, it's just a minor injury and the stitches can be removed soon."

“…”

Ji Li pursed his lips and said nothing for a long while before he said, "I'm sorry."

He was obviously Qin Li's lover, but he actually delayed for so long before finding out about what happened to the other party.

"Baby?" Qin Li frowned when he heard his sudden apology. The next second, he held Ji Li's arm tightly and pulled him into his arms.

Ji Li was startled by his sudden strength and behavior, "Qin Li, watch your legs."

"I didn't touch you. Don't move. Let me hold you for a while." Qin Li hugged Ji Li tightly and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Ji Li calmed down, but when he spoke again he still felt remorseful and depressed.

"We've video chatted so many times, and I didn't notice anything unusual. Qin Li, am I a bad lover?"

Qin Li rubbed his cheek with his fingertips, coaxing and apologizing, "You are fine, I shouldn't have kept it from you."

He was touched and distressed and promised, "I will definitely not do this next time. I will tell you every little thing, okay?"

Ji Li tilted his head and bit his fingertips, pretending to be vicious and biting them hard, "Don't do it again."

Both of them are very mature mentally, there is no need to do those weird and pretentious plots, they both know when to quit while they are ahead.

"Qin Li, I won't hide anything from you in the future, and you can't hide anything from me either."

"good."

Qin Li smiled softly and responded. He took the opportunity to kiss Ji Li on the lips and joked, "If I want to see you in a foreign country in the future, I will pretend to be injured to lure you to me."

"Don't come here." Ji Li snorted twice and didn't fall for it at all.

He was still afraid of pulling Qin Li's wound, so he stood up and pushed him to the side of the sofa, choosing to sit down and look at each other.

"You? Are you sure your leg injury is okay?"

"It's fine. I was just scratched by a metal prop that fell first while filming the jump-out scene. I've been resting for half a month, and the wound is almost healed. The medical staff will come tomorrow to remove the stitches and change the dressing."

Qin Li was afraid that he would worry, so he explained the whole process in detail.

Director Kavi was also generous enough to give the injured male lead Qin Li a one-month vacation.

The filming of the movie has progressed to the later stages and the original shooting time is ample.

The time when Qin Li stopped working to rest was a good opportunity for him to shoot other actors' solo scenes and rival scenes in advance.

"The only unfortunate thing was that my mother came to visit me that day."

At this moment, Qin Li couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

As a mother, how could Gu Wen feel at ease leaving her son alone in the hospital?

The Qin family is wealthy and powerful, so it is easy to hire a private doctor. Gu Wen heard from the doctor that Qin Li should reduce his movements recently to avoid accidentally tearing the wound again.

So, she asked someone to buy a wheelchair for her son, and took care of him three times a day, almost treating her son as a disabled person.

After hearing this long explanation, Ji Li's tense heartstrings finally relaxed completely.

"It's common for actors to get injured while filming. I didn't let the company issue a statement because, firstly, I didn't want to cause concern among the outside world, and secondly, I didn't want marketing accounts to use this incident to hype up my professionalism."

Qin Li leaned forward and smiled, "If this happened to you, would you care?"

Ji Li raised his eyebrows, unable to refute.

If he had been injured while filming, he would probably have endured it without saying a word.

But when the injured person changed, his mentality changed completely. Not only was he extremely nervous, but he also rushed over the moment he heard the news.

This is probably what is called a complete loss of sense of proportion.

"Baby, I'm happy."

Qin Li stood up with the strength of his right foot and sat on the sofa. The love in his eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved. "I didn't expect you to suddenly appear in front of me. It was like a dream."

If Qin Li had known that this would be the scene, he would have really wanted to complain pitifully on the first day of being injured.

"Then you? Just dream on." Ji Li retorted with a smile.

Anyway, he finally felt relieved and stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. I'll see you tomorrow."

“…”

Qin Li quickly pulled him back, angrily and amusedly, "Your boyfriend is sitting here, where are you going?"

"Go to the hotel. I asked Baozi to book a room for me after I got off the plane." Ji Li answered as a matter of course.

Qin Li is not the only owner of this villa. Maybe the Qin couple will come back later. He is an outsider and it would be fine if he came here uninvited, but how can he have the nerve to stay here?

Qin Li was so angry at Ji Li's self-righteous attitude that his teeth itched. He pulled him back helplessly and dotingly, "You are not allowed to go anywhere. Stay here tonight."

"My parents are both very busy, so they may not come back to stay tonight."

"...What if he comes back?" Ji Li still hesitated.

He and Qin Li had lived together for a long time, so he naturally didn't mind sleeping in the same bed. However, he had never formally met Qin Li's father, and had only met Qin Li's mother, Gu Wen, once.

Living together under the noses of each other's parents? No matter how I put it, it feels a bit awkward.

"If you find it inconvenient, wait until tonight is over and I will take you back to our own house tomorrow."

Qin Li has his own private residence here, so he doesn't need anyone to take care of his daily life. This time Gu Wen was worried about his injuries, so she dragged him back and sent someone to take care of him.

"If you insist on going to the hotel tonight, then I'll go with you." Qin Li used a roundabout tactic.

This kitten has come to my doorstep, and I must hold it in my arms and let it sleep in my bed. No matter what, I can't let it escape.

Ji Li thought about it and decided to stop struggling.

Let Qin Li follow me with his leg injury? Going back and forth? I can’t bear to think about it.

"Then I want to take a shower first. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring much with me."

The long flight had left him feeling extremely tired, and he urgently needed a hot bath to relax.

Qin Li responded quickly, "I'll prepare it for you."

Ji Li couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "Okay."

Ten o'clock at night.

Ji Li finally nestled comfortably in his bed. The soft quilt carried Qin Li's unique scent, making him feel the long-lost peace.

Qin Li circled her from behind, buried his head in his lover's shoulder, and took two greedy deep breaths.

"Libao."

The voice was hoarse, with a hint of sexy and lingering desire.

The warm breath fell on his shoulders and neck, causing a tingling sensation. Ji Li turned sideways uncomfortably and shrank into Qin Li's arms. "Stop making trouble. Not tonight."

It's not that he didn't want to hug Qin Li, but he was concerned about the other's wound and didn't dare to act recklessly.

If the wound that has healed with great difficulty is torn again because of such an incident, it would be really laughable if the news got out.

Qin Li hugged him tightly, without forcing him to take the next step, but his clinging power was even stronger than that of the young general.

"What about you? Just let me hold you."

The two of them haven't had any intimate contact for a long time, so it would be false to say that they didn't have any desire to do anything at this moment.

There was no need to ask for any kisses, just simply hugging each other, as if finding an outlet for the long-pent-up emotions.

I don't know who made the first move, but the feeling of the deep kiss swept over my whole body.

The suppressed and ambiguous voice echoed in the room, instantly burning the remaining air, causing the brain to rapidly lack oxygen and make it difficult to breathe.

Ji Li felt that his whole body was burning hot, and Qin Li, who was hugging him, was even hotter than a furnace that was about to burn out.

"Qin Li, wait..."

Before he could even utter a complete sentence, it was shattered by the sudden intensity.

Ji Li managed to regain some rationality, and clung to the man's strong arms with his fingers, "No, your legs..."

Qin Li had just tasted a little sweetness, so how could he be willing to give it up like this?

The two of them hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's breath and strong emotions.

He kissed Ji Li's red ears and coaxed her in a low voice, "Li Bao, how about you take the lead today? I'll cooperate with you."

Qin Li's voice is recognized in the entertainment industry as being pleasant and deep.

But only Ji Li knew that every word the other party said at this time could be so sexy that it could completely lure people into the abyss of desire.

"I heard that position goes deeper."

"Stop talking?"

Ji Li kissed Qin Li to stop him from talking nonsense.

How could he not understand what Qin Li meant? Physical indulgence outweighs rational thinking.

Ji Li's face was flushed so red that blood was about to bleed, but he still couldn't resist the bewitching stimulation and novelty and climbed up.

Qin Li saw his actions, and a hint of satisfaction secretly flashed between his eyebrows.

………

………………

……………………[slightly]

The next day.

When Ji Li woke up, it was almost noon. He tried to turn over, but ended up falling back on the bed.

My waist is sore, really sore.

A low laugh came from behind. It was Qin Li who had already woken up.

Ji Li simply lay back down and whispered under the soundproofing of the quilt, "What's so fun?"

Qin Li moved closer and kneaded his lover's waist with gentle force, and his teasing voice was full of satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work last night, baby."

Ji Li recalled the scene of last night and his face turned red with embarrassment.

At first, he took the initiative and teased Qin Li with great interest, but later he was so happy and tired that he almost collapsed on top of the other person.

In the end, it was Qin Li who took the initiative to exert effort, but he himself became tired while he was drowsy.

"I've already cleaned up roughly last night. If you feel uncomfortable, take another shower." Qin Li said in a gentle voice.

If it were in the past, Qin Li would definitely take care of all these things himself, but now he is troubled by the injury on his leg and it is not easy for him to just carry the other person to the bathroom.

Ji Li responded lazily.

Qin Li glanced at the time displayed on the bedside alarm clock and asked in a low voice, "Did you get enough sleep? Get up and have some lunch."

They have already missed breakfast, and if they can't even eat lunch on time, it will be bad for their health to be hungry.

As soon as he finished speaking, a polite voice came from the door of the room, "Second Young Master, are you awake?"

"What's wrong??"

"The master and the eldest young master are back. Madam personally cooked lunch today. Madam asked you and Mr. Ji to come down and eat together if it's convenient for you to get up."

Just a few words contain a huge amount of information.

After Ji Li finally realized what was happening, he froze in his tracks.——

What?

Are Qin Li's parents and brothers all here?

Qin Li's eyes flashed with surprise, "Got it? We'll be down in fifteen minutes."

"good."

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.

Ji Li got up from the bed, vaguely embarrassed, "Qin Li, what should I do?"

When he came last night, Qin Li's parents were not there. Now, I suddenly have to meet my parents when I wake up?

If he had known this earlier, he should have gone to the hotel decisively last night and avoided the embarrassment later.

"How's the saying?" Qin Li slowly got up, still in the mood to joke, "Sooner or later, you will have to meet your parents-in-law."

"You? Stop kidding."

Ji Li was really a little nervous. He came uninvited, and no matter how he thought about it, it seemed rude.

"Don't worry, my mom has known about our relationship for a long time. In this family, my mom and we are on the same side, and my dad's opinion is not important."

Qin Li stroked Ji Li's back and gave him enough comfort.

The Qin couple would quarrel every ten days or half a month, and Qin Li was no longer surprised by it.

In his heart, he, as a father, obeys Mr. Qin's orders. The latter looked down on Gu Wen, who came from an artist background, and also disliked Qin Li, his grandson who rebelled and entered the entertainment industry.

If they had a dispute behind closed doors, Qin Li and Gu Wen, mother and son, would always maintain a united front.

"What about you? That big brother?" Ji Li asked again, hurrying to find out the situation.

"You don't have to worry about my elder brother. He is very wise and sensible. Even if he sees through our relationship, he won't deliberately tell on me in front of my father and the old man."

To put it more bluntly, since the most difficult old man in the Qin family didn't show up, this lunch wasn't actually that scary.

"Just make sure you eat well. If my dad finds out and starts making things difficult for you, I'll take the blame for you."

Ji Li knew that he couldn't avoid this meal, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

So what if someone in the Qin family objects?

The relationship between him and Qin Li cannot be easily broken by external forces.

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Li and Qin Li, who had packed up, took the elevator downstairs together.

Gu Wen, who was sitting at the dining table and looking forward to it, saw the two juniors and immediately became happy, "Come here quickly."

She learned about this from Qi An last night - Ji Li was concerned about Qin Li's injury, so he rushed here from China right after finishing filming.

All mothers love their sons.

So Gu Wen was very touched by Ji Li's dedication to Qin Li. The entertainment industry is too complicated? It’s not easy to find a partner who cares about you.

"Dad, Mom, brother, this is Ji Li." Qin Li approached the dining table and took the initiative to speak.

Although he really wanted to directly state that he and Ji Li were in a romantic relationship, he still held back due to the current situation.

Ji Li greeted everyone in turn and took the opportunity to observe the appearance of each person.

Qin Li's father, Qin Zhenglong, was sitting in the main seat, and one could vaguely see his handsome appearance when he was young between his brows.

Qin Li's elder brother Qin Qi was sitting on the right, dressed in a suit and looking very impressive.

Perhaps he noticed Ji Li's gaze, the corners of his straight lips slightly raised and he nodded silently in greeting, obviously showing more of the demeanor of a business tycoon than Qin Li.

All I can say is that the Qin family’s genes are very strong.

Judging from the expressions on their brows, these three father and sons really look like they were carved from the same template.

Qin Zhenglong cast a scrutinizing gaze at Ji Li, "You are also an actor like Qin Li?"

He doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry and has barely watched many of his own son's film and television works.

Ji Li faced his gaze calmly, "Yes."

Qin Li got up from the wheelchair and made room for Ji Li. "Sit down."

Then, he sat down next to his lover.

Qin Zhenglong saw his youngest son's indifferent reaction to him and frowned, "You are already in your early thirties, and you still sleep until noon?"

Qin Li said nothing and took a sip of warm water.

Seeing her husband start to "criticize" their son again, Gu Wen suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and said, "He works so hard on filming and finally gets home to sleep a little longer. How can he bother you? What's wrong?"

As she spoke, she served each of the three younger generations a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you Aunt Gu."

Qin Zhenglong originally just wanted to establish his prestige as the head of the family, but his wife rejected his idea halfway through, and in the end the other party won applause.

He suddenly felt upset, "I was wrong in what I said. He was in his twenties and was in the entertainment industry. I thought he was just having fun. It's been ten years, and he still doesn't want to change his mind."

He pointed at his eldest son and continued to lecture Qin Li, "Look at your eldest brother, he manages the business all by himself. Who is like you, you have no career and no partner."

Ji Li noticed that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to move his chopsticks. He listened to Qin Zhenglong's words and felt unfair for Qin Li.

How many people in the entertainment industry envy and admire the name Qin Li? How many people want to work hard to achieve this goal?

How come in the eyes of Qin Zhenglong, his father, he has accomplished nothing?

"Actually, Brother Li is in the circle..." Ji Li was about to open his mouth to refute when Qin Li silently stopped him under the table.

He looked over and found that the other person was calm and showed no emotion at all. Instead, he took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat for him and said, "Eat more."

This "action" immediately made Qin Zhenglong realize that there was something subtle, and before he could open his mouth to question it.

Gu Wen suddenly threw the spoon back into the soup and sneered, "Eat if you like, if not, leave now."

"Xiao Qi is very good, but how is Xiao Li inferior? To be honest, his current achievements are much better than yours back then!"

"No career? What do you, an old-fashioned person who doesn't understand the entertainment industry, know? My son is an award-winning actor!"

"No significant other?"

Gu Wen glanced at Ji Li and said confidently, "Don't worry! My son's partner must be incredibly outstanding!"

Gu Wen tore it apart? She doesn't have the elegant image of a "rich lady". Her series of verbal attacks is so hot.

“…”

Qin Zhenglong's face became even uglier as he was scolded by his wife.

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to save his dignity, "In front of outsiders..."

"How can there be outsiders here?" Gu Wen refuted. "Even if there are, it's you who hasn't even eaten yet and you keep preaching."

"Even if Xiao Li comes back to inherit the family business, ask the old man if he is willing to let him go? The two brothers each have their own careers, and no one dares to interfere with each other. Isn't that good? Why do you have to stir up disputes between the brothers to find it interesting?"

"If you are so powerful, go back to the Qin Family Manor and attack in front of the old man! Do you dare? What's the point of bullying my son? Do you think he has no one to protect him?"

The more Gu Wen spoke, the more excited she became; the more Qin Zhenglong listened, the quieter he became.

Qin Li had a smile in his eyes as he peeled the shrimps slowly.

Qin Qi on the opposite side was also not surprised and drank two sips of water as if it had nothing to do with him.

Ji Li went from being confused at the beginning to being in a state of watching onlookers.

Although his eyes were not staring directly at the Qin couple, his ears were perked up.

The one-sided quarrel lasted for about a minute, and Qin Zhenglong suddenly stood up and said, "I can't reason with you. You two can just eat by yourselves!"

"Hubby, you don't want to eat?" Gu Wen smiled and turned back into a good wife and mother. "What should I do if I'm hungry?"

Qin Zhenglong didn't fall for it and said, "I'm angry? You've made me angry enough?!"

After saying that, he left the villa angrily.

There was silence at the table for about five seconds before Gu Wen said cheerfully, "Okay, the trouble is gone, let's eat."

Qin Li put the peeled shrimp into Ji Li's bowl, "Mom, is Dad going to be so angry with you this time that he won't be home for a few days?"

"It will take at least three days." Qin Qi added.

The two brothers smiled at each other, it seems they are used to such scenes.

"Linda, the steamed fish in the kitchen is almost done. Just like I told you before, pour hot oil and sauce on it and serve it..."

Gu Wen thought about her three children and decided to do it herself. "Forget it, forget it. I'll do it myself."

When Gu Wen entered the kitchen, Ji Li couldn't help but ask, "Qin Li, do your parents always get along like this?"

"Well, you? Don't worry, just let them go." Qin Li explained in a low voice.

In the early years, they all lived in the Qin family manor and lived with Old Master Qin.

Later, Gu Wen couldn't stand Mr. Qin's sarcasm towards her and others, and she also hated her husband's obedience to the older generation, so she bought this villa and moved in in a fit of rage.

What can Qin Zhenglong do when his wife doesn’t come home?

So, from that time on, he would come back every now and then to "eat for free".

Without the concern of Mr. Qin, the patriarch, Gu Wen would simply let herself go and start arguing with the couple whenever they had disagreements.

"Don't you forget? My mom also came from the entertainment industry."

Which female star who can gain a place in the circle doesn’t have some amazing kung fu skills? It was because Gu Wen married into a wealthy family and became a rich wife that she put away her true nature and pretended to be "gentle and sophisticated" for several years.

"I heard that she once confronted her haters offline until they cried."

"Don't look at my dad like this, he dotes on my mom. They quarrel but never mention divorce."

Ji Li couldn't help laughing, "I see."

"You don't have to be afraid if you meet my dad again. My mom is obviously on your side."

“Who said I was scared?”

Ji Li refuted it and felt relieved.

Qin Qi, who was standing opposite, saw the situation between the two and showed a puzzled look on his face. He knew everything but did not say anything.

"Here it is? Here it is?" Gu Wen brought the fish over personally and watched the younger generations eat with a smile.

"Ji Li, is the red envelope I gave you last time enough?"

Ji Li thought of the 50 million yuan on the card that had not been touched, and was so scared that he almost couldn't eat.

Qin Li smiled and declined, "Mom, he can earn a lot on his own, you can't spend all the money."

Gu Wen touched the bank card in her pocket and said with some regret, "Okay, I'll prepare a bigger one for you guys after the Chinese New Year."

Two days later?

Ji Li curled up on the sofa, eating ice cream slowly, in a good mood.

This is the ice cream that Qin Li "owes" him.

I don't know when it started, but 'eating ice cream after wrapping up' became their exclusive secret interaction.

This kind of ice cream is even sweeter.

Qin Li slowly moved to his lover's side and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch? There is a Chinese restaurant nearby. Can I order anything?"

The stitches on his wound have been removed and the dressing has been changed. So far, he seems to be recovering well.

The two returned to Qin Li's private residence. They had their own space and could be more casual with each other.

"You can order anything. I can order anything."

Ji Li answered and casually opened Weibo.

Not long after, he saw the familiar words at the top of the trending search list:
