"Xiaobai, why are you here so late?" Hearing the soft voice again, Qin Su's expression softened instantly, as if he saw the child rubbing his eyes and speaking in a sticky voice.
Even though he had just seen her in his dream, Qin Su missed her so much that he wished he could see his beloved every moment.
Sure enough, love makes people stupid, but Qin Su was very happy about it.
Cheng Ye had no idea about his infatuation with someone. He had a dream for half the night and his eyes were still red when he woke up.
Su Bairui stood at the doorway with a sincere expression. Seeing him, he bowed 90 degrees. When he stood up again, tears welling up in his eyes, he said sincerely, "Ye Zi, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were allergic to mangoes. Mangoes have never appeared in your house."
Cheng Ye was silent for a while, then said, "I told you that before when we went out to dinner."
The black eyelashes could hardly bear the weight of the tears. Su Bairui blinked, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.
After a long silence, Cheng Ye lowered his head, the furry bunny head on his slippers scraping against the floor. He whispered, "Xiaobai, have you ever considered me a friend?"
Su Bairui was anxious and went to pull his hand: "Ye Zi, I'm really sad when you say that. We've known each other for so many years..."
"How many years have we known each other?" Cheng Ye stared at Su Bairui quietly, then suddenly interrupted him and said slowly, "Yes, we have known each other for many years. Every time we go out, you must order mango smoothie, but I never eat it."
Su Bairui was stunned, and his palm suddenly felt empty.
Qin Su next door heard Xiao Ye's sad voice and wanted to hug her in his arms and rub her hard, but it was a pity that if he went out now, she would be completely exposed and would cause Xiao Ye's dissatisfaction.
"Ye Zi, I..."
"Don't you live in the front? Why aren't you asleep yet so late?" Cheng Ye didn't want to talk about allergies, so he yawned and changed the subject.
Su Bairui was stunned and stammered, "I, I, I... I stayed here specially to apologize to you."
Cheng Ye was puzzled and asked, "Aren't the doors of the villa locked? Did you not go out or...how did you get in?"
Qin Su was also suddenly shocked. He had not thought that for the sake of privacy and security, few people knew the password of this villa at night. Since Su Bairui lived outside, he would definitely not tell him.
But now——
Qin Su's heart trembled. When did Su Bairui become a member of the Qin family?
"Come in first." The next words must not be heard by Qin Su. Cheng Ye turned sideways and let Su Bairui in.
After Su Bairui entered the room, he felt a little embarrassed and uneasy. He stood in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do.
He had been to Qin Su's room several times when he was very young. There was nothing special about it, even simpler and more business-like than a hotel. Just like him, there were only two words to describe him: "elite".
For Qin Su, the room was just a place to sleep. All his things were in the study, and Su Bairui was not qualified to enter the study.
But today, Cheng Ye revealed in his conversation that he entered the study when he first came to the Qin family.
This vixen must have been charming and deceptive, and had bewitched Brother Su.
The better Qin Su treated Cheng Ye, the more Su Bairui felt that there was something wrong with Cheng Ye. Otherwise, how could a gifted man like Qin Su fall for someone of such low status like Cheng Ye?
Either he knows some magic, or he is very scheming and even Brother Su was deceived by him.
Su Bairui's mind was full of thousands of thoughts, he was thinking about all sorts of things, it was a tangled mess and he couldn't find the end!
He glanced carefully at Cheng Ye, but the other party had his back to him. He was helpless and embarrassed, not knowing where to look. He could only look around at the room next to Qin Su.
Yes, in Su Bairui’s mind, this was not Cheng Ye’s room at all, but the room next to Qin Su.
God knows how jealous he was in the afternoon when he learned that Cheng Ye actually lived next door to Su Ge. Now seeing that the decoration and furnishings in the room were ten times better than his own, he felt that Cheng Ye had taken everything from him. He completely forgot that it was he who was unwilling to accept more favors from the Qin family and was afraid that the other party would think he was a money-grubber.
He likes money, but he likes the money that Su Ge gives him after he marries him even more.
"Xiaobai, I treated you as a friend, but you didn't take me seriously. I'm really sad." Cheng Ye wiped away non-existent tears and continued in a low voice, "If that's the case, then we shouldn't be friends anymore."
Can't!
Su Bairui looked at him in shock and almost yelled out loud.
The Qin family provided his tuition, accommodation and living expenses, but with Cheng Ye's sponsorship, he could live like those rich second-generations and also have multiple channels to meet the people he needed.
He barely suppressed his impulse, and Su Bairui pleaded in a low voice: "Ye Zi, please don't say anything angry. I was negligent before. Don't worry, I will definitely..."
"Forget it. Even if this hadn't happened, we wouldn't be friends anymore. Xiaobai, the business engagement I told you about last time..." Cheng Ye sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes much lower than Su Bairui's, but he seemed to be looking down at him from the soul, and said condescendingly, "I think Brother Qin is a good guy, and he should like me too, so we decided to date."
Cheng Ye blinked his sleepy eyes, his face full of sincerity.
"What did you say!" Su Bairui blurted out, and when he saw Cheng Ye take a step back in fright and came to his senses, he remembered that it was Brother Su who lived next door, so he deliberately lowered his voice and said in an unstable voice, "Didn't you say last time that you didn't like him, didn't you only admire him?"
Cheng Ye disagreed and said, "After getting to know him, I felt that he was very good, and he said he liked me, so I agreed to date him."
Her words were full of the sense of wonder that "Qin Su likes me and is pestering me. I've never been in a relationship so I want to give it a try."
It seems that being with Qin Su is not because of feelings, but because of curiosity or fun.
"No, no, you know I like Brother Su too." Su Bairui even wanted to come over and pull his collar, but he didn't dare.
Cheng Ye's face darkened instantly, and he snorted coldly, "I know, didn't you tell me that you liked Brother Qin after you knew he was my fiancé?" He looked at Su Bairui coldly, "But Brother Qin doesn't like you, you just have a one-sided crush on him."
He chuckled and looked Su Bairui up and down. "To put it another way, even if he likes you, he can only marry me. Do you think the engagement between the Cheng and Qin families is so easy to cancel? Haha, did you let your guard down because you heard that I wanted my brother to cancel the engagement before? Are you stupid? I only brought it up because I knew it was impossible to cancel the engagement!"
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes. "I thought he had feelings for you before, and I wanted to hear him take the initiative to propose breaking up to win Brother Qin's favor, but what happened?" He looked at Su Bairui with disdain and contempt. "You don't mean anything to Brother Qin, but it's okay. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the sudden idea to come and live with Brother Qin day and night to cultivate feelings. Thank you."
No, he is not Cheng Ye.
Although Cheng Ye had a bad temper, he was really good to him. At first, he even thought that Cheng Ye liked him. Later, he found out that Cheng Ye couldn't make friends at all due to personal reasons. So he only needed to pretend to be nice to him occasionally to get Cheng Ye's sincerity. He also took advantage of the fact that Cheng Ye was reluctant to part with his only friend, and gradually felt that he had control over Cheng Ye.
He didn't even take the slap in the face last time seriously. After all, he fell down the stairs and had a near-death experience. Anyone would feel resentment and have an emotional outburst, but Su Bairui thought it would be fine after a while.
What's more, just now Cheng Ye was sad because she didn't know he was allergic. It can be seen that Cheng Ye is still afraid of losing her friend.
Su Bairui kept hypnotizing himself in his heart, but in reality, Cheng Ye at this moment was full of vigor, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him was not as sad as before, but he regarded him as an ant.
Su Bairui was deeply hurt by the disdain and contempt in his eyes. He always felt that either the light was too dim or he forgot to bring his contact lenses.
Without me, Cheng Ye would really have no friends at all. Why should he pity me? I should be the one who pities him.
But he must have seen it wrong, and could it be that he had heard it wrong? Cheng Ye's malicious words were still lingering in his ears for a long time.
With his mind full of thoughts, Su Bairui was pushed out of the room in a daze by Cheng Ye. When he came in, he deliberately did not close the door tightly, leaving a narrow gap.
The dim yellow light left a thin strip of light in the corridor, as if waiting for someone to enter.
Qin Su heard a sound of soul-deprived footsteps walking away, opened the door and came out. Through the crack in the door, he saw Cheng Ye standing there with his back to the door. The lonely figure made his scalp tighten, and he dodged and went in.
Cheng Ye had no idea what was going on. He sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on something he didn't know what he was looking at.
Qin Su felt extremely distressed. He sat down next to him and grabbed the back of his head, pressing it hard against his chest. "Didn't you agree not to be sad?"
Cheng Ye pretended not to hear anything and didn't even move his eyes.
Qin Su was rarely nervous. He put his hands on Cheng Ye's shoulders and forced him to look at him: "Ye Zi, what's wrong?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm always here."
Cheng Ye sobbed softly with a "Wow—" sound, his forehead resting on the back of Qin Su's shoulder. "Brother Qin, Xiaobai begged me to give you back to him, but I can't. I can't."
Qin Su suddenly recalled the dream of Su Bairui's unreasonable behavior. He felt strange for a moment, but at this moment he could not afford to think too much. He hurriedly grasped Cheng Ye's cold hand, trying to send the warmth of his palm directly into his heart: "I have never been his. There is no question of whether I will return it or not."
"Brother Qin, I feel so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I can't breathe." Cheng Ye grabbed his pajamas, revealing half of his round shoulders and delicate collarbone. He tilted his head back to face the light and shed two lines of tears. He gasped and said, "He is my friend, and you are my favorite person. How could he do this? Why did you treat me like this?"
"Ye Zi, it has nothing to do with you. Don't be sad or even blame yourself for people or things that are not worth it. Okay, promise me that I will feel bad." Qin Su stroked his soft hair again and again and held him in his arms.
Tears completely soaked the collar of his pajamas. When the wind blew, Qin Su got goose bumps all over his body, but he pressed Cheng Ye's head harder, almost embedding the person into his bones.
"It's my fault, but I can't. I can't hand you over to him, Brother Qin, you must believe me, you must believe me!" Cheng Ye clutched Qin Su's clothes tightly, leaning her upper body against his arms. "I love you more than he does. I've liked you for so many years, but he didn't tell me. If he had told me earlier, I wouldn't like you so much."
666: "Meow meow meow? Before you say this, Big Leaf, can you please close your eyes?"
Cheng Ye's words were incoherent, but Qin Su listened carefully to every word. He inserted his five fingers into Cheng Ye's sweaty hair and lowered his head to kiss her sweaty forehead. "Don't cry, I love you, Ye Zi. What happened between us has nothing to do with Su Bairui. If you don't like seeing him, I will ask him to move out tomorrow."
"No!" Cheng Ye held Qin Su's hand. "Xiaobai will hate me. After all, we are still friends. Let him... give him a few more days to get used to it."
"..." Knowing that he had a kind heart, Qin Su regretted asking for his opinion. He should have quietly sent the person away. Even if Ye Zi knew about it, he would have just given her some compensation somewhere else and sent her away. It wouldn't have been possible to bring her back. But now—
We have to think of other ways. It’s better to get rid of him as soon as possible. Not only is he hindering their relationship, but he also secretly made a key to the villa. I don’t know what his intentions are.
Qin Su agreed repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. You are the boss of the Qin family!"
Cheng Ye hiccuped while crying and glared at him angrily: "Nonsense, hiccup, what are you talking about!"
Qin Su shrugged and helped his feverish body into the bathroom. "You've been crying and sweating all over. If the cold wind hits your warm body, you'll catch a cold. Go take a hot bath."
"Brother Qin--" The light from the bathroom heater was so strong that it stung his red and swollen eyes, causing some pain. Cheng Ye reluctantly grabbed Qin Su's wrist.
"..." Qin Su chuckled and leaned on his shoulder, "Why, do you want me to stay and help you wash?"
Cheng Ye lowered his head to look at his slippers. After being hit in the chest several times, he asked softly, "Is it okay?" Although he asked this, his mind was clamoring, "666, 6, hurry up, help me, can you hypnotize me? Take down Qin Su right now!"
666: "..." If you don't want to, then don't invite me like that. It seems that Qin Su is very pitiful.
Qin Su was surprised, his eyebrows raised, and he flicked his chin with his fingers: "I didn't expect that Young Master Cheng would play such a big game?"
Cheng Ye's face flushed with embarrassment, and she pushed hard, but Qin Su was tall and strong, and his tentacles were hard. The strong hormones rushed down her head, and her whole body was weak. She wanted to resist but also wanted to accept it.
"I, I don't have any." Cheng Ye mustered up his courage and looked up to meet Qin Su's teasing gaze. "Brother Qin, I'll give myself to you, okay?"
Qin Su's eyebrows twitched. Under Cheng Ye's nervous gaze, he pressed him into his arms, buried his head in the crook of his neck, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice as if he had just gotten rid of his drug addiction: "Ye Zi, why, why are you jumping into the fire pit by yourself!"
"It's not a fire pit!" Cheng Ye said softly but firmly, "Brother Qin, I really like you. You, please take me."
He then began to undress himself.
Qin Su held his wrist and laughed, "Who are you trying to pretend to be ready to die?"
Cheng Ye hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't, it's not that I didn't want to." He explained in a low voice, "I'm just a little scared."
Qin Su bit his neck, and the delicate skin felt slightly numb. Cheng Ye couldn't help but shiver.
Qin Su supported Cheng Ye, whose legs were weak, and chuckled softly: "You can't stand it even now, and you still want me to have you?"
Cheng Ye choked and buried his head in Qin Su's arms: "I, I will bear it." Bearing it means just knocking you out, not stabbing you to death!
"That's enough. I can't bear it any longer." Qin Su rubbed the teeth marks he had bitten, an obscure light flashed in his eyes. He pinched the back of the neck and pulled the man out of his arms like a cat, and was about to leave without looking back.
"No!" Cheng Ye grabbed his wrist pleadingly and shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Qin Su patted the back of his hand soothingly, his voice hoarse and inaudible: "Be good, don't mess with me. I hope you will have better memories of this kind of thing in the future." Otherwise, what would it be like to think of Su Bairui the first time he mentioned.
The shower curtain fell with a splash. Cheng Ye wiped the mist off the half-length mirror and saw her own red and swollen eyes in the mirror. She rubbed her face which was a little sore from crying and said, "This buff is good. Tears come easily."
666 humbly said: "No, no, no, the boss's acting is still better."
The two of them praised each other for a while, then soaked in the comfortable hot water. All the pores on their bodies opened up, and Cheng Ye sighed comfortably. Qin Su's suppressed low breathing sound played in his mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Cheng Ye enjoyed the afterglow of acting and said with emotion: "It turns out that it feels so good to see everyone in the palm of your hand!"
He was indeed a little afraid that Qin Su would force himself on him, but only a little. After all, apart from the golden finger of 666, he was also thinking that he could avoid it by simply saying that he was afraid of pain. He didn't expect Qin Su to be so sensible and refuse him on his own initiative.
"Why are you up so late?" Early in the morning, Cheng Ye just came downstairs, and Su Bairui, dressed in a fresh suit, greeted him with a smile, as if they had not met last night, and had not had an unpleasant conversation.
Tsk, the acting is good, but when it comes to acting, I won’t lose.
Cheng Ye rubbed the dark circles under his eyes and said weakly, "I didn't sleep well last night."
Cen Xia was drinking porridge. Upon hearing this, she immediately put it down and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"Is he particular about his bed?" Su Bairui asked worriedly, "Brother Cheng is so nice to Ye Zi that she feels uncomfortable staying in a hotel."
Cen Xia frowned slightly: "How can it be compared with a hotel?"
Cheng Ye seemed not to understand his hidden meaning and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just..." He turned his head to look at Qin Su who was going downstairs, and said nothing.
Cen Xia held the bowl, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, revealing a relieved smile like an aunt, no, like a mother.
When Qin Sulu passed by Cheng Ye, he patted his shoulder without even looking at Su Bairui. He explained on behalf of Cheng Ye: "Ye Zi helped me stay up very late last night."
"Oh." Cen Xia nodded meaningfully, indicating that he understood, then turned around and ordered the kitchen to make some porridge to replenish blood and qi.
Very late?!
It was clear that when he left last night, Cheng Ye was still in his room. Could it be that they met later?
It’s already so late, what else can we do as a single man?
Su Bairui was shocked and confused, unwilling to believe the answer that came to his mind.
Cheng Ye sat on the stool and stood up with a "hiss". Cen Xia quickly stood up: "What's wrong? Do you need a cushion?"
"Huh?" Cheng Ye looked confused and shook his head doubtfully, explaining, "Why do I need a cushion? I just accidentally fell in the shower last night. I might have a little bruise, but it's not that serious."
Cen Xia had an expression that said "I understand", but she still went to the sofa, got a cushion and gave it to Cheng Ye, and glared at Qin Su.
Cheng Ye: “……?” He took it with a confused look on his face and held it in his arms!
Cen Xia was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "...did he really fall?"
"?" Cheng Ye looked at her regretful expression and nodded blankly, "Yeah, yes, I really fell, and my tailbone still hurts a little."
Cen Xia couldn't help but sigh and took a bottle of cold tea from the refrigerator to cool down. She even forgot to ask if her tailbone was okay.
It's early in the morning and my mood is fluctuating so much. I can't stand it when I get old.
Qin Su, who had been in Cheng Ye's room last night, couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that he had really just accidentally fallen in the bathroom because he was restless. But when he met the confused and asking-for-help look in Xiao Ye's eyes, he was in a good mood and let them misunderstanding go.
Anyway, she will be his sooner or later. If Cheng Jinran knew that the matter has been settled, he would definitely not cause any trouble.
Su Bairui had a gloomy face from beginning to end of the breakfast and didn't say a word. He didn't even hear Cen Xia asking him if he was feeling unwell.
This even caused Qin Su to look at him twice more, but his expression was one of scrutiny and inquiry, which made Su Bairui feel uneasy, but he had to force a smile to show him.
