Chapter 150 Xie Hengzhi X Yun Qing (03)
Under Xie Hengzhi's threat, Yun Qing began to read books frantically, studying until the early hours of the morning almost every day.
At least in this class-divided place, Xie Hengzhi is a rare person who does not look down on his status as an illegitimate child and treats others as equals.
If you fail the exam, I'll give you away to someone else.
These words were like a recurring nightmare in the middle of the night. He didn't want to be involved with anyone else anymore, and Xie Hengzhi was the most reliable protector he could rely on.
On the day the final exams ended, Yunqing saw Xie Hengzhi coming out of the next room to take graduation photos and went over to him dejectedly: "It seems like I bombed the exams. What if I can't get into National Chengchi University?"
Xie Hengzhi lowered his eyes, looking at his wrinkled expression: "As expected."
"What do you mean 'as expected'? I'm sick of reading lately." Yun Qing was already quite annoyed by her poor performance, and muttered, "You don't even know how to comfort me."
Xie Hengzhi was utterly ruthless: "Then you'll have to retake the exam next year."
The thought of having to go through that kind of life again sent chills down Yun Qing's spine: "That won't do. If you leave, I'll be bullied again if I stay here by myself."
Xie Hengzhi's lips curved slightly.
He rarely smiled; he was devastatingly handsome. Yun Qing stared at him for several seconds before realizing her heart was racing. This guy usually has such a deadpan expression; he should smile more.
He stared at the other person, then slowly added, with a hint of willful coquetry: "If I don't pass the exam, you'll have to retake it with me next year."
“Dream on,” Xie Hengzhi said.
Pei Yizhong came out, saw Yun Qing's gloomy face, and waved his camera: "What are you two talking about? Taking pictures?"
"Take a picture, the lighting here is bad, let's go to the rooftop." Yun Qing's mood instantly improved a lot, and he stood proudly between the two tall and strong Alphas, feeling very prestigious.
Pei Yizhong set the camera to a timer, and the three of them stood in the sunset, looking at the lens, freezing the image.
Yun Qing's hand gently brushed against Xie Hengzhi's, the warm touch making him suddenly feel that this moment was very memorable, so he said, "Take a picture of the two of us separately."
“Okay.” Pei Yizhong stood on the opposite side with his camera, adjusted the focus, and framed the most beautiful corner of the campus in the lens.
Yun Qing looked straight ahead, her voice soft, and hooked her little finger around his palm: "Want to leash your little dog?"
Not having heard clearly, Xie Hengzhi turned his head to look at him: "What?"
Yun Qing kept her hand there without moving, and repeated, "Do you want to leash your little dog?"
Xie Hengzhi felt this gesture was completely unnecessary, as they weren't actually holding hands. However, considering that he might have failed his exam and was in a bad mood, he said, "Okay."
Xie Hengzhi reached out and easily took his hand, then felt the other's slender hand intertwine with his fingers.
Seeing this inexplicable action, Pei Yizhong looked completely bewildered: "Huh??? Why are you two holding hands?"
Yun Qing smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm in a good mood after graduation."
Pei Yizhong, holding his camera, still found it unbelievable.
Xie Hengzhi did not resist this action at all, and from observation, he even took the initiative first, as if he were possessed.
He didn't understand, and with a head full of questions, he pressed the shutter: "Look at the camera, smile."
Both of them were wearing uniforms, one a three-piece school uniform and the other a pleated plaid skirt, and they looked very well-matched.
"Can someone explain this to me?" Pei Yizhong took several photos, looking at the two very attractive people in the pictures, and sincerely asked, "What's going on between you two?"
After taking the photos, Xie Hengzhi calmly released Yun Qing, as if nothing had happened: "Nothing's wrong, you haven't held hands with anyone?"
Pei Yizhong delivered a knowing blow: "You son of a bitch..."
This is the first time in eighteen years I've received such a humiliating experience. What's wrong with holding hands? You're not even dating.
Seeing his speechless expression and his outstretched hand, Yun Qing joked, "Want to try holding hands with me?"
Xie Hengzhi reached out and slapped away the arm that was hanging in mid-air. His voice was menacing as he threatened, "If you dare to hold hands with anyone, I'll chop your hand off."
"That's too fierce, it might not work." Yun Qing sheepishly withdrew her hand and put it in her pocket.
The gesture was far too intimate. Pei Yizhong frowned and said bluntly, "I feel isolated by the two of you."
Xie Hengzhi reached for the camera to check the photos. After confirming them, he replied, "You're overthinking it; it's not like I'm isolating everyone."
He couldn't really explain his relationship with Yun Qing. At first, he just felt that, like with Pei Yizhong, it was easy, comfortable, and not tiring to be around her.
Intimate relationships can be a burden, like one's own parents. A couple who pretend to be loving on the surface are always arguing fiercely at home, but when they are emotionally abusing you, they are united against outsiders.
If it weren't for the inescapable parent-child relationship, he would rather not have this emotional bond.
But Yun Qing is different.
As he said, if he was to be a pet dog, then he realized just now that he had developed a possessive desire for this dog.
This is not good, or rather, he doesn't want to feel anything other than sympathy.
Xie Hengzhi decided to calm down for a few days. Fortunately, he had a holiday afterwards, so he didn't see Yun Qing again. Instead, his parents took him to meet many people, and he officially entered the more sordid world of adults.
I don't know which party it was, but when I was extremely agitated, my phone vibrated and I received a message from Yun Qing.
[Yunqing]: The results are coming out soon, I'm so nervous, will you come with me to check the scores?
[Yunqing]: I can't bear to watch, I feel like I'm going to die.
[Xie Hengzhi]: Okay, I'll be back at the apartment in half an hour.
Two years ago, he moved out of his home under the pretext of wanting to focus on his studies. His apartment was near the school, and Yun Qing would sometimes go over to cook lunch for him. He was a very good cook, and Xie Hengzhi was too lazy to open the door for him every time, so he just told him the password.
When he made an excuse to leave the party and got home, Yun Qing was already there.
He didn't turn on the lights, just sat on the sofa with a laptop in his arms, the light illuminating his pale face, making him look bitter and resentful.
"Sit there pretending to be a ghost?" Xie Hengzhi raised his hand to turn on the light.
"Don't turn it on." Yun Qing clasped her hands together and muttered, "I read that checking grades with the lights off is a bit mystical, and it makes it easier to perform exceptionally well."
Xie Hengzhi couldn't help but sneer, "Are you an idiot? The score was already in the backstage area."
"Oh no, don't open it, I'm really nervous." Yun Qing was trembling all over. He didn't want to retake the exam for another year, nor did he want to be left to someone else. Xie Hengzhi, a guy who controlled other people's fates, would never understand.
Xie Hengzhi changed into slippers and went over, sitting down next to him. He leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "Go ahead and investigate."
Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Yun Qing turned to look at him: "Why aren't you investigating?"
"National Chengchi University contacted me this morning, that's the first thing."
He spoke so casually, but Yun Qing was seething with hatred. How could someone learn so effortlessly? Did he even consider the feelings of those who study and do practice problems?
Just as she was about to say something, she leaned over and sniffed him, noticing a faint smell of alcohol on him: "You've been drinking?"
"Hmm, just a little." Xie Hengzhi saw his dawdling and reached for the mouse. "I'll help you look at it."
"No, no, no, let me mentally prepare myself." Yun Qing reached out and pressed him down, leaning against him and crying out, "This concerns my fate for the next year, let me think for two more minutes."
Xie Hengzhi's gaze fell on the hem of the skirt, only seeing a section of fair leg, which was almost raised to the top of his thigh due to his movement.
It's so thin, I feel like I could pinch it with one hand.
Yun Qing raised one hand to shield her eyes, and carefully moved the cursor to the button she wanted to view with the other hand.
"Xie Hengzhi, I'm going to order, I really am going to order, ahhhhhh I can't, let me think about it for two more minutes."
Unable to bear his hesitation any longer, Xie Hengzhi pressed down on the back of his hand and, with a snap, clicked "OK."
A pop-up window appeared, displaying a good score followed by the words "Admitted".
"Did you order it? I can't bear to look." Yun Qing covered her eyes with her hand, feeling the faint aroma of wine drift closer, right in front of her nose.
Xie Heng glanced at the result and threatened him in a very harsh way: "What will you do if you don't pass the exam?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Qing collapsed, leaning weakly against the sofa, her hands covering her face, in agony: "Waaah, it's over, I knew my premonition was bad. Tell me, who are you going to give me to?"
Xie Hengzhi's gaze moved upwards, from the hem of the skirt to those incessantly talking lips. Why did she speak so softly?
He whispered, "Do you want to be sent away?"
Yun Qing shook her head frantically: "Of course I don't want to!"
Then I felt my palm being pressed down, and what was previously a faint glimmer of light was now completely extinguished.
Enveloped by Xie Hengzhi's aura, a very mature aura mixed with a hint of wine, I felt myself becoming slightly tipsy.
"You only want to follow me?" Xie Hengzhi asked.
"Well, but... I didn't pass the exam, you..." Yun Qing felt a little aggrieved and wanted to cry again when she thought of this. She had worked so hard to do the practice questions, how could this happen?
Hearing his pitiful voice, Xie Hengzhi felt that he was really easy to fool and couldn't bear to tease him anymore: "I was just kidding, I got accepted."
Yun Qing moved her hand away, saw the results, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said indignantly, "How can you be like this? You're so annoying."
"Back to the previous question, you just want to follow me?" Xie Hengzhi stared at him and asked again.
Having grown up in a very complicated family, Yun Qing had learned to read people's expressions and demeanor. He could clearly tell that Xie Hengzhi's question at this moment was not the pure, teasing kind of banter he used to have.
Rather, it is the undisguised possessiveness that belongs to Alpha.
He wasn't sure if there was another meaning behind those words, so he said even softer, "Yes, I told you when we made the deal before that I was yours, forever."
Xie Hengzhi had just returned from a world of extravagance and indulgence, so he could no longer look at him with innocent eyes: "But I don't really want a puppy anymore."
As if afraid of being left behind, Yun Qing grabbed the other person's collar and recklessly touched his lips.
"Then I'll do something else. Whatever you want, I'll try my best to learn it, okay?"
