Chapter 5: Taste



Mu Heng was completely absent-minded during the exam. His mind kept replaying the moment Song Qingmo touched him, the feeling it gave him, and the look of disdain he had given him.

He wanted to ask Song Qingmo why, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. So he spent the whole day with a sour face. Every time Song Qingmo thought about talking to him, he would pretend not to listen or avoid him.

"Hey, Mu Hengshi, please pay attention to me. I was wrong today. Please don't take it to heart. I really bumped into you by accident. Believe me." Song Qingmo hurried to Mu Hengshi as soon as school was over and explained to him anxiously.

But Mu Hengshi's eyes trembled, and his face remained stern. When Song Qingmo jumped in front of him again, Mu Hengshi finally exploded. "Enough," he waved Song Qingmo away and left alone.

Mu Hengshi didn't pay attention to the force when he swung, and this swing directly knocked Song Qingmo down, but Mu Hengshi resisted the urge to turn back. Without even looking at Song Qingmo, he quickened his pace and walked away. However, the classmates around him looked at Song Qingmo with either mocking or sympathetic eyes.

Song Qingmo, the universally recognized top student and "flower of the hill," had always ignored them. But when it came to Mu Hengshi, he was like the ultimate bootlicker, clinging to him every day. But Mu Hengshi didn't want to pay any attention to him. Mu Hengshi was well-educated, always showing a warm and gentle expression to the school and those outside, but with Song Qingmo, he had a stern face all day. The fact that Song Qingmo could piss Mu Hengshi off like that was quite impressive.

Some of the dandies in the capital's aristocratic circles had long disliked Song Qingmo, but due to the strength of the Song family, they hadn't found a good opportunity. Naturally, they couldn't miss this show today. They all stopped to watch the show.

One of the people most hostile to Song Qingmo was Xu Fengyi, the young master of the Xu family, whose power was slightly inferior to that of the Mu and Song families. Xu Fengyi was a well-known figure in the circle of wealthy young men, simply because he had already flourished in the gay community in Beijing at a young age. In fact, Xu Fengyi first confirmed his sexual orientation with Song Qingmo. At that time, the fair, well-behaved and adorable Song Qingmo had caught the eye of Xu Fengyi at first sight. However, Song Qingmo always had a superior demeanor and ignored others' attention. Although he was polite when others asked him questions, it was difficult to establish a close relationship with him. Song Qingmo could never be his. After that, he often targeted Song Qingmo, hoping to attract his attention.

"Hey, Song Qingmo, what's the point of you licking Mu Heng all the time? Why don't you try being my boyfriend? It might be a million times better than being Mu Heng's licking dog." Xu Feng said to Song Qingmo with a self-proclaimed cool smile. He tried to pull Song Qingmo up with his hands.

"No, I won't pay it, thank you." Song Qingmo declined politely, waved away the hand in front of him, stood up, and left.

Mu Hengshi didn't go far just now. He hid by the stairs, watching everything secretly, and heard Xu Fengyi's words that he wanted Song Qingmo to be his boyfriend. Suddenly, he felt very angry, and he didn't hear the other words clearly. Song Qingmo has been with him since he was a child, and has never been in contact with other people. How dare Xu Fengyi let him leave him and be his boyfriend. Anger seemed to burn his reason. His eyes were red now, his fists were clenched, and he looked like he was about to lose control. But when he saw Song Qingmo walking towards him, he didn't want Song Qingmo to see him like this, so he hurried back to the car outside the door.

Song Qingmo waited until he reached the school gate, where all the students had already left. He looked towards where Mu Hengshi had parked his car, and sure enough, he was not waiting for him. Mu Hengshi had left him and walked away alone. Song Qingmo's eyes were a little red now, because he had a tear incontinence physique, and he was embarrassed in front of everyone just now. He was a little emotional, and he could hardly hold back his tears again. He couldn't control himself, and the more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. But he had nowhere to vent, so he had to turn his grievances into motivation, and took the bicycle as the object of his revenge, imagining it as Mu Hengshi, and pedaled it home.

At the Song family's house, Song's mother saw Mu Hengshi's car coming back and saw that Song Qingmo was not beside it. She looked behind and still didn't see Song Qingmo, so she asked Mu Hengshi, "Hengshi, didn't Xiaomo come back with you?" Song's mother knew that Mu Hengshi didn't like her son. Although she didn't want to wrong her son, her son had been a loner since he was a child and Mu Hengshi was his only friend. There was nothing she could do. Since the child liked it, let him do it himself. Song's mother was worried and helpless for a moment.

Mo Hengshi calmed down after being angry. He always had an indescribable emotion towards Song Qingmo. Just like today, he lost control again. He should hate Song Qingmo. He envied him for having a happier family than himself. He also hated that he could laugh and talk in front of others every day and do whatever he wanted, while he was just a puppet controlled by his parents. Even becoming childhood friends with Song Qingmo was something that Mu's father and mother asked him to do. As early as ten years ago, after the Song family joined forces to help the Mu family solve the crisis, the two families became good friends and often visited each other to chat. Mu Hengshi was also asked by Mu's mother to take good care of Song Qingmo. He hated him when he was a child, and coupled with the rebellious mentality of adolescence, he had many inexplicable feelings for Song Qingmo. Even if Song Qingmo did nothing wrong, isn't it natural to hate someone?

Naturally, Mu Hengshi didn't know what to say. He could only say "Goodbye, Auntie" and returned to the Mu family.

Not long after Mu Hengshi left, Song Qingmo also came back.

"Oh, son, are you tired? Come quickly, mom made your favorite stir-fried dishes for you today, as well as many newly cultivated vegetable seeds." When Song's mother saw Song Qingmo, she hurried to greet him.

When Song's mother saw Song Qingmo's eyes turn red, she immediately realized something was wrong. "Xiaomo, did you have a fight with Hengshi? You deserve it. Who told you to be so cold to him? Are you okay now? You're having another unpleasant argument?"

"Is my mother as comforting as you? I'm already miserable enough, and you actually laugh at me." Song Qingmo felt helpless facing his mother's gossipy look. Who told his mother to be so unreliable and inconsistent?
