Chapter 42: Forty-Second Night
As the autumn breeze blew, the evergreen trees in the school interacted enthusiastically, making rustling sounds of conversation.
Qiu Tingxu pinched the leaf stalk and rubbed it, causing the dark green leaves to dance in his hand.
He turned around, faced Xu Yansheng, and walked backwards, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, influenced by his smiling lips.
"Xu Yansheng, I'll leave my back to you. If there's any danger, you must warn me."
Xu Yansheng looked at the person who automatically made way from a distance, then looked at the evergreen tree swaying slowly nearby, and finally looked at the bright young man in front of him.
The young man's lower eyelids are naturally droopy, making his eyes look a little round. When he stares at people and acts pitiful, he always looks very innocent.
The upper eyelids have double eyelids with obvious folds, and the pair of brown pupils under the eyelids are only hidden tightly when sleeping. Usually, they always have a smile on their faces.
The bridge of the nose is like a hanging gourd, hanging above the beautifully shaped smiling lips, just right.
Her ears were half hidden in her soft and flowing hair, and there was a tiny red mole on her left earlobe, like blood.
His facial features were not particularly soft, but rather angular, and his jaw had a perfect angle, making his smile look like the warm sunshine in winter every time.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in his chestnut hair, getting gently shredded and scattering onto his warm white cheeks, making them look even warmer.
He was naturally passionate, and Xu Yansheng had tried to resist him, but he was always unsuccessful.
After observing for about a minute, Qiu Tingxu didn't encounter anyone.
He proudly raised one hand, covered one eye with the plucked leaf, and looked up to find a different sky through the veins of the leaves.
Unfortunately, the leaves were not transparent, so he was blinded by them.
He lowered his hands in disappointment. "Well, the leaves are a bit thick, the sun can't get through..."
Before he could completely lower his hand, Xu Yansheng suddenly stopped him.
A force suddenly pulled him towards Xu Yansheng, and he almost fell into his arms.
He almost stopped in his tracks and said in fear: "Oh my god...what's wrong, Xu Yansheng, why did you suddenly pull me?"
Xu Yansheng lowered his head and glanced at his feet inconspicuously, then said calmly, "You're going to bump into someone."
Qiu Tingxu turned his head and looked back, and found that the nearest person was several steps away from him.
The man was looking at them strangely, with confusion in his eyes.
He was also confused, "Who did you hit? Wasn't it quite far away?"
Xu Yansheng lowered his head and scanned the ground, then said, "There are stones on the ground."
Qiu Tingxu also lowered his head to look, but after looking for a long time he only saw a stone the size of a finger.
He pushed Xu Yansheng away, still holding his hand, pointed at the small stone, and asked, "Is this the stone you are talking about?"
His round eyes opened wide, showing his disdain and shock to the fullest.
"Oh! Can such a small stone stump me, Qiu Tingxu?"
"That's it. I can walk backwards with my eyes closed and it's fine!"
Xu Yansheng watched him bragging quietly. It might not be bragging, but he looked very proud anyway.
"But I think there's danger."
Whether it is a big danger or a small danger, it can be used as an excuse.
Qiu Tingxu's excited expression froze and he became a little depressed. After all, it was he who said that he should be warned if there was danger.
Although Xu Yansheng's way of reminding him was rather strange, it was for his own good.
He finally turned around obediently, stood beside Xu Yansheng, and walked with him.
"Come on, come on, come on, can't I just walk straight?"
"But you could have warned me out loud. If I were to pull it suddenly like that, it would be scary."
Xu Yansheng tilted his head slightly to listen to him speak, his ears hidden in the hood so that the red earlobes could not be seen.
"Why would you be scared to death?"
Qiu Tingxu had played enough with the leaf, so he threw it into the air and no longer cared about where it went.
He clapped his palms up and down, trying to brush the dirt off his hands.
"Why do you think so? Think about it, two grown men, in broad daylight, almost hugged each other..."
"Do you think it's scary?"
"This is just like an idol drama. I'm in your arms all of a sudden. What do I do when we're face to face?"
"Is it more terrifying?"
Xu Yansheng pursed his lips for a long time, but still didn't speak.
But Qiu Tingxu heard the long-lost voice again.
【No. 】
"I've always been curious. Can you selectively tell me what's in your heart?"
"Why does it take so long?"
Xu Yansheng shook his head: "I don't know either."
Qiu Tingxu scratched his hair, still confused.
"That's weird. I couldn't hear anything before, so why can I hear you now?"
"And why didn't you just say it?"
Xu Yansheng turned his head away and didn't look at him.
"I don't want to say."
Qiu Tingxu: "But even though you didn't say it, you still said it in your heart!"
Xu Yansheng tilted his head even more fiercely, and whispered: "But now, I can only control my mouth, not my heart."
When Qiu Tingxu heard this, he felt as if an electric shock had passed through his body. He didn't know why his speech became less fluent.
"Ah...ah, then...then how did you control it before?"
Xu Yansheng: “…I don’t know.”
Qiu Tingxu bent his fingers and scratched the side of his face, trying to drive away the sudden heat that arose.
Before I could figure out what kind of emotion this was, I had another guess.
"Could it be... could it be that my mind-reading ability has been upgraded?"
Xu Yansheng slowly turned his head back and stared at him expressionlessly.
"Maybe."
Qiu Tingxu's inexplicable irritation disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by the surprise and joy of the upgraded mind-reading ability.
"I'm so awesome. I can level up without doing anything. Will I be able to listen to whoever I want in the future?"
Xu Yansheng didn't even bother to look at him. Instead, he looked at the road ahead and walked very seriously.
The replies became perfunctory.
"Maybe."
Qiu Tingxu: "You are too perfunctory. Have you degenerated from a high-ranking flower to a repeater?"
Xu Yansheng kept the same pace as him and said in a calm voice: "Maybe."
Qiu Tingxu: "..."
“This feeling is quite strange.”
"When you couldn't speak, I wasn't so speechless."
"From another perspective, you have made great progress."
"Haha, if you think about it carefully, it's kind of funny."
"You said, when a person can mobilize the emotions of another person, does it mean that the person's emotions are also fluctuating?"
Xu Yansheng finally stopped repeating the same answer monotonously and replied with his eyelashes lowered: "Yeah."
Qiu Tingxu smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Emotional fluctuations are a good thing. They can prove that you are living well."
"So, you should also have emotional fluctuations in the future!"
Xu Yansheng: “…”
He actually sighed softly, so softly that Qiu Tingxu didn't even notice it.
——
Qiu Tingxu accompanied Xu Yansheng back to his villa in the suburbs.
In order to prevent Xu Yansheng from getting used to the presence of other strangers, he gave the housekeeper a holiday early.
However, we still specially called a nutritionist to prepare tailor-made diets for them. The nutritionist was in charge of the kitchen and all that was left was to prepare the food and put it on the dining table.
If Xu Yansheng's range of movement was limited to the room, garden and backyard, they would hardly touch each other.
October 5th was Xu Yansheng’s fourth dangerous day.
That afternoon, the only people left in the villa were Qiu Tingxu, who was swimming in the backyard swimming pool, and Xu Yansheng, who was sitting on the shore and daydreaming with a book.
It’s not accurate to say that he was in a daze.
His eyes always drifted towards the swimming pool. In the clear and transparent water, Qiu Ting appeared vaguely, and his fair skin looked firm and strong in the sunlight leaking through the transparent skylight.
He was still very thin, but not as thin as when he first entered school.
While growing meat for Xu Yansheng, he also grew a lot for himself.
So everyone has gained some weight on their bodies.
He is not like Xu Yansheng who likes to be idle. When he is excited about playing games or bored about reading, he likes to do a few sets of push-ups on the spot.
If you are in bed, you can do a few more sets of crunches.
But since his wrist had not yet healed, he did not force himself to use it too much.
First I saw poached chicken, then I saw abdominal muscles.
This is what Qiu Tingxu said when he was wearing swimming trunks and bare-chested.
After saying that, he jumped into the swimming pool.
After splashing water all over Xu Yansheng's pants, she lay down by the swimming pool, wiped her face, pushed her hair back, revealing her full and smooth forehead, and smiled at him.
"Look, I told you to come down, but you didn't. If you don't come down, I'll pour water all over you. Do you believe it?"
"I've never seen anyone wearing long pants in a swimming pool. Even if you're sitting next to it, you should respect the swimming pool, right?"
"Xu Yansheng! Look at me!"
Xu Yansheng didn't look at him. He silently walked away from the pool and sat on a lounge chair beside it. He raised his head leisurely, looked at the sky, and was in a daze.
Qiu Tingxu found it boring, so he dived into the water with a "huh" sound, like a little white dragon shuttling through the clear water and white waves.
He didn't notice that Xu Yansheng couldn't help but look at him, and he kept looking at him for half an hour.
It was five minutes to three in the afternoon.
Xu Yansheng turned off the vibrating cell phone on the portable table next to him and stood up.
He has long arms and legs, and he stands out very much when he stands up.
Qiu Tingxu noticed his movements in the water, changed direction and swam to the edge of the swimming pool, supported himself with his hands on the exquisite tiles, turned around with force, and sat down by the pool.
With his feet still soaked in the water, he wiped his face vigorously from his chin upwards with both hands to drive away the excess water droplets.
He combed his wet hair into a slicked back bun, which gave him a unique sense of handsomeness and sexiness.
"Xu Yansheng, is it almost three o'clock?"
