Chapter 23
Don't be fooled by Su Wenxing's calm demeanor when facing his own parents. If Qin Lian's parents were the ones who knew about their situation, he definitely wouldn't be in the mood to relax at home right now.
Su Wenxing took a bottle of yogurt out of the refrigerator and drank it while approaching Qin Lian.
Su Wenxing said to Qin Lian, "My parents said they would keep this a secret. But I still feel uneasy about it, and I'm afraid they'll tell your parents."
Qin Lian: "Not for the time being. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so they won't cause you any trouble right now."
"That's what they say, but honestly, I just don't feel confident."
"It's okay, don't worry. Even if my parents find out, they won't stop you. They care more about your health than about us messing around."
Yes, Qin Lian's parents also like Su Wenxing very much and care about him a lot.
Upon hearing that Su Wenxing was coming to L University, they immediately asked Qin Lian to take good care of him.
Qin Lian felt that his parents were not unreasonable people.
Even if they find out, they probably won't react much.
Su Wenxing couldn't help but find Qin Lian's words amusing.
"To be honest... the way we are now is just like we've really come out of the closet."
First, Su Wenxing's parents found out, and if Qin Lian's parents find out too, it'll be practically the same as coming out of the closet.
They weren't really dating, so I don't know why things are a little strange now.
Before Su Wenxing could continue complaining to Qin Lian, Su Wenxing's succubus system suddenly beeped.
Su Wenxing stopped talking to Qin Lian and reached out to open the system panel.
When Qin Lian saw that he had stopped moving and was instead pointing at the air, he knew that the system must have a new task.
Su Wenxing quickly finished reading the new mission, puffed out his cheeks, and said to Qin Lian with dissatisfaction, "This mission is a bit difficult."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lian asked, "What mission?"
Su Wenxing felt a little guilty. "That's right, we have to shower together, and the rule is that it has to be in the bathroom."
Although they used to shower together often, things are different now than before.
They used to be just good friends, but now their relationship has changed a bit, and Su Wenxing doesn't know why he feels guilty.
"And then, are there any other requirements for the task?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wenxing read it again carefully. After all, it concerned his own health, and he had to take the mission very seriously.
"There are no other strict requirements, the only essential condition is a bathroom."
"Alright then, do you think it's better for you to take the initiative or for me to take the initiative?"
"Oh, let's start now?"
"Yes, your health is very low. If you have a mission, it's better to complete it as soon as possible."
Qin Lian genuinely believed that the sooner the mission was completed, the sooner Su Wenxing could recover her health.
As for the awkwardness, since we can't switch to other targets right now, we might as well just focus on completing the mission first.
Because of Qin Lian's initiative, Su Wenxing, the beneficiary, could no longer delay.
He nodded and said to Qin Lian, "You do it, I can't. Every time I take the initiative, you don't react."
I don't know if it's because he's not charming enough, or because Qin Lian prefers me to take the initiative?
Anyway, Qin Lian didn't react at all during the few times he tried to provoke her.
Seeing that he was self-aware, Qin Lian nodded and gestured for him to prepare clean clothes.
Since we're going to take a shower, we definitely need to change into clean clothes.
Both of them brought clean clothes. Su Wenxing was very uneasy when she went in, feeling that she might not come back.
He wasn't this timid before. How come he's completely changed after meeting his parents?
This mission took a lot of time because when the two of them took a bath together, they kept reminiscing about their childhood.
As a child, Su Wenxing was a bit slow and clumsy, and he was always a little slow at everything he did.
Qin Lian would help him take a bath and also comfort Su Wenxing, who was in poor health.
Qin Lian was just a child back then, but he was very gentle and patient with Su Wenxing.
Now, as they take a bath together again, Su Wenxing's mind is filled with images of young Qin Lian, the way he used to wash Qin Lian's hair and was afraid of getting soap in his eyes.
Fortunately, while Su Wenxing faltered, Qin Lian worked very hard.
Ultimately, thanks to Qin Lian's efforts, the mission was completed.
Su Wenxing entered the bathroom looking pale, and then was carried out by Qin Lian looking flushed.
While lying in bed, Su Wenxing squinted as he checked the system panel.
As he checked his health points, he said to Qin Lian, who was sitting by his bedside, "You're quite fierce."
Qin Lian was a little helpless when he heard this, "You kept saying that mine didn't fluctuate, and I couldn't help but get a little anxious at the time."
It wasn't that Qin Lian was truly without desires; the main reason was that Su Wenxing's health was poor, and they were childhood friends with a very close relationship.
Subconsciously, he didn't want to treat Su Wenxing badly, nor did he want Su Wenxing to think he was a pervert.
Su Wenxing: "Hmm, you did pretty well. Your health value reached sixty this time."
As he spoke, Su Wenxing sat up and glanced at Qin Lian beside him.
Su Wenxing: "When you kissed me just now, did you feel good?"
Because Qin Lian held him tightly, looking very reluctant to let him go.
Qin Lian was completely at a loss for words when he heard this.
Su Wenxing didn't seem to expect an answer from him, because he answered himself right away.
"That's true. After all, we're at the age where we're full of energy. You and I haven't been in a relationship before, so it's inevitable that we'll get carried away when we're kissing. It's okay, we're good friends. You did this because of me, so I won't blame you."
Qin Lian couldn't help but twitch his lips, wanting to say that he was quite good at talking to himself.
"Alright, you rest well at home. I need to go to the company. If you need anything, just give me a call."
Su Wenxing nodded, "Go ahead, go ahead, I'm suddenly feeling a bit sleepy right now."
After Qin Lian left, Su Wenxing quickly fell asleep.
He slept from day to night.
When he woke up, Qin Lian had already returned from outside.
Su Wenxing was still a little sleepy. He found his phone, checked the time, and muttered in disbelief, "My God, it's already 10 p.m.?"
He completely ignored both meals!
No, no, I need to get up and eat something right away.
Although his health is much higher now, it doesn't mean he can waste it like this.
When Su Wenxing got up, Qin Lian cooked him a bowl of porridge.
The porridge was a rather bland millet and white rice porridge.
Su Wenxing clearly didn't have much of an appetite.
Seeing this, Qin Lian said to him, "Besides this, I also brought you some food when I came back."
Su Wenxing was pleased to hear this.
When Qin Lian came back, he brought him two stir-fried dishes, as well as two bunches of grapes and a few pears.
Under Qin Lian's supervision, Su Wenxing first drank some white rice porridge before starting to eat the dishes he had brought back.
Qin Lian looked at him and said, "You need to learn how to cook."
Su Wenxing asked, puzzled, "Why?"
He can't cook, and he doesn't want to cook.
"Out-of-town food has too much seasoning; eating too much of it is bad for your health."
If Qin Lian weren't so busy that he couldn't stay home every day, he would definitely be willing to learn to cook at home.
Unfortunately, he was about to graduate, and the company was getting busier, so he didn't have much time.
Compared to Qin Lian's busy schedule, Su Wenxing's situation was relatively relaxed.
Su Wenxing had no choice but to frequently go out to exercise.
Qin Lian felt that it shouldn't be too much trouble for him to find a clean meal for himself at home.
Because of Qin Lian's insistence, Su Wenxing was still unwilling to agree.
Cooking is fine, he can handle such difficult tasks, so why would he be afraid of cooking?
