Chapter 152 Xie Hengzhi X Yun Qing (05)
Xie Hengzhi grabbed the back of Yun Qing's neck and used a tissue to wipe her lips clean.
He said in a low voice, "Who taught me?"
"Mind your own business." Yun Qing tilted her head back, like a well-behaved puppy waiting to be stroked. After a while, she crawled over and sat in his lap. But she was really restless. After sitting for only two seconds, she leaned over and kissed him again.
Xie Hengzhi turned his head away slightly, feeling that something was off.
Yun Qing grabbed him and kissed him again as if in a prank, and said with a grin, "I don't mind, so why would you mind?"
Xie Hengzhi pinched the back of his neck with his fingers, then leaned back in his seat, not angry at all, but simply said, "You've gone astray."
Yun Qing hummed in agreement, her voice very soft, and murmured close to her lips, "Shall we continue?"
"No, thank you." Xie Hengzhi's fingers brushed against the hem of his skirt. Even though it was almost autumn, he was still wearing a summer skirt, with his long, straight legs exposed. Wasn't he afraid of the cold?
"Is it because we didn't have a condom?" Yun Qing blinked slowly. "It's okay."
Xie Hengzhi's breath hitched, and he couldn't help but lecture him: "Don't put yourself in that position. I didn't mean to demean you. You... don't follow in your mother's footsteps. You clearly have more choices, don't you?"
He urged Yunqing to take the entrance exam for National Chengchi University because he hoped that Yunqing would have a broader life, rather than using him as a bargaining chip again.
It should have ended there. She wanted to sort out her relationship with Yun Qing, but now it seems even more complicated. She had clearly made it clear that she couldn't give him the sense of security and emotional feedback he wanted, but he still recklessly rushed over.
Yun Qing lowered her eyes and muttered, "He doesn't treat others like this, but that's only because it's you."
Xie Hengzhi decided to make his point clearer: "Our family only cares about interests. My parents' marriage was a political alliance, and I can't escape that fate in the future. In fact, this is indeed a shortcut to ensure the family's long-term prosperity. If you follow me, there will be no future for you, and you won't get what you want."
Whether it's a legitimate marital relationship or a unique love.
He can't give it to me.
"I know." Yun Qing reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, deciding to confide in him. "I come from that kind of family, so I understand better than you. But what can I do? I can't live without you anymore."
Unexpectedly, Xie Hengzhi was speechless as to why the man had become so clingy: "When did this start?"
Yun Qing buried her head in his neck, her voice muffled: "I don't know, but I realize it's because I haven't seen you lately, and I miss you so much. It might be separation anxiety. I didn't feel it when we were together every day before, but now I can't stand it after just over a month."
Upon hearing this, Xie Hengzhi recalled the stray dog he had taken in before.
Because it takes time to walk, bathe, and feed it every day, the family felt it interfered with their studies. One time, when the grandfather caught it stealing food, he made a big fuss, beat it with a baseball bat until it was crippled, and then sent it away.
Xie Hengzhi was still very young at that time, and the puppy kept barking at him with great grievance, as if it was resenting that it should never have been brought home in the first place.
For the first time, he experienced the pain of not being able to control a relationship after it had been established. Since the final outcome was never pleasant, it was better not to start at all.
The second time I softened my heart was when I agreed to Yun Qing's deal.
Now they face the same dilemma again: the inability to let go of the dog because of the long time they've spent together. Moreover, Yun Qing is more clingy and proactive than the puppy.
Xie Hengzhi reached out and hugged him, rarely showing helplessness, and sighed softly, "What do you want me to do?"
Yun Qing could sense his emotional rationality and pain, so she didn't make things difficult for him. She just smiled and said, "Let's live for today. Anyway, you're not interested in me, so spending another day with me is a bonus for me."
Xie Hengzhi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He reached out and pulled him back into his arms as he was about to fall, feeling that this was not a good method: "Won't you have separation anxiety afterward?"
"Maybe," Yun Qing said pitifully. "So, before you marry some unknown rich girl, could you please be a little nicer to me?"
Xie Hengzhi looked down at him, his beautiful eyes revealing a lot of emotions: "What are you up to now?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to indulge her, Yun Qing, who was very good at negotiation, pressed her advantage and said, "How about I move in? I think today is a good day, suitable for moving."
"You're living comfortably at school, why are you running so far away?" Xie Hengzhi was actually worried about Yun Qing's reputation.
After all, it's an Omega living openly with an Alpha; who knows what kind of rumors will spread behind their backs? If she marries someone else in the future, Yun Qing will be talked about even more harshly.
“You live this far away too, why don’t you just drive me to school?” Yun Qing narrowed her eyes. “That’s not an excuse.”
“You will be talked about.” Xie Hengzhi stated the consequences directly. “They may not hit you directly like before, but public opinion is more likely to crush a person.”
Yun Qing was very optimistic about this: "You said you would protect me. If there are really any particularly annoying bad guys, you will deal with them, right?"
Xie Hengzhi found that when he started arguing unreasonably, he couldn't win the argument and didn't know what to say to stop him.
Yun Qing was already happily sending Pei Yizhong a voice message: "I'm moving! Want to come over for dinner tomorrow? Bring Lin Han along!"
"Where to move to?" Pei Yizhong was baffled.
Yun Qing glanced at Xie Hengzhi with great pride and announced, "I will live with Xie Hengzhi."
There was a nearly half-minute silence on the other end, who thought he must have misheard: "Sorry, the signal is bad, let me say it again."
Satisfied with his reaction, Yun Qing said with great pleasure, "It's just as you think, living with Xie Hengzhi. I need to tidy up today, I'll come tomorrow."
Pei Yizhong remained silent for almost half a minute, probably trying to recall when things started to go wrong, or perhaps finding it unbelievable: "You two, when did you get together?"
"Not yet, but it'll be soon." Yun Qing coughed lightly when she saw Xie Hengzhi's undisguised gaze. "I'm hanging up now, I won't keep you two from eating."
Looking at his smug expression, Xie Hengzhi probed, "I have a feeling that you were planning to sleep with me for two years and then end it all."
Yun Qing smiled and kissed his cheek, saying, "How could that be? Ah, I'm full. I need to go back to school to pack my luggage. Come with me."
Xie Hengzhi watched him slide off his lap, slowly got up and tidied himself up before following him.
If that's the case, that's fine too. At least Yun Qing won't experience separation anxiety again because they haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'll feel less guilty.
Yun Qing is really efficient; she said she was moving, and soon after, she had packed two suitcases and brought them back.
When Xie Hengzhi came out of the shower, he saw a large pile of dresses that didn't belong to him hanging in his closet. Next to the black, white, and gray dresses, there was a large patch of red in various shades. It was strange, but inexplicably harmonious.
"Did I say we were going to share a room?" he asked, looking at the person who had taken over his room.
Yun Qing looked puzzled, finding his statement highly illogical: "How can it be called cohabitation if we don't sleep in the same room?"
Xie Hengzhi was so angry he laughed: "I don't sleep well, so go to the next bedroom. We'll separate and won't bother each other."
"It's okay, sleep with me for two days, and your sleep will definitely improve." Yun Qing was very confident. She leaned over and smelled the shower gel on the other person's body. It smelled very refreshing. "I'm going to take a shower too. Wait for me."
Xie Hengzhi stood in front of the French windows and lit a cigarette. Amidst the swirling smoke, he still couldn't understand how things had come to this.
What is their relationship now?
Before he could figure it out, he noticed a faint fragrance wafting through the room. He turned around and saw Yun Qing bending over to light incense by the bedside.
"It helps you sleep, it'll be good for you." Yun Qing turned off the main light, leaving only the dim, yellowish glow from the incense, patted the pillow, and called to him, "Come here."
Xie Hengzhi stubbed out his cigarette and had just lain down on the bed when he was pulled onto Xie Hengzhi's lap. The same bath fragrance mingled together, and then a soft thumb pressed against his temple.
"You can do this too?" Xie Hengzhi felt a long-lost sense of relaxation, and he half-closed his eyes.
The lingering fragrance, whether from the bedside lamp or Yun Qing, gave him a very soothing drowsiness, probably from a sense of peace.
"Yes, I've learned a lot since I was a child." Yun Qing said very frankly, as if he had never hidden his identity. "After all, he's an illegitimate child. He has to be raised to be well-mannered so that he can be sold for a good price in the end."
Xie Hengzhi felt a slight prick in his heart, especially when Xie Hengzhi said those words so casually.
Even though I am a pawn myself, I still feel heartache when I hear that another pawn is so clear-headed.
He closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice: "I made you apply to National Chengchi University because I hoped you would have a chance to escape. After all, you don't have family expectations to bear, nor do you need to be responsible for them. If you earn more money, you can get rid of your family."
She paused, then said softly, almost as a sigh, "And you, you still dare to jump into the fire."
Yun Qing continued massaging him, but looked down at him, her gaze tracing his cold features.
She's so wonderful, so wonderful that she's never regretted saying she wanted to belong to him forever, so how could she describe herself so poorly?
"Xie Hengzhi, you are not a pit of fire, you are a god who led me to escape the sea of fire."
