Chapter 28 An unexpected confession
The autumn wind blew, and the hot kisses covered the sky. Qu Tao shivered all over, and his mind was blank. There were
applause, cheers, and whistles that broke through the night. Qu Tao reacted and pushed Xi Mozhou away.
"Just kiss me, why are you always pushing me?"
What does it mean that your mouth is running in front and your brain is chasing behind?
The sudden burst of laughter made Qu Tao feel embarrassed and wanted to slap himself.
"Well... I... I'm going to the bathroom."
With shame and anger, Qu Tao finished speaking and ran to the hall. Xi Mozhou looked at his disappearing back and returned to his seat.
"My Taotao is shy. Wait for someone to come out. Stop laughing."
"I know your Taotao is shy, but you're still bullying him?"
Qiu Mingxuan finished teasing, and everyone laughed again. Xi Mozhou took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said seriously.
"What do you know? This is a normal reaction."
Qu Tao lingered in the bathroom for a long time, until someone knocked on the door, and then he slowly came out.
"Are you still shy?"
His cheeks, which were already red, were now even redder than blood. Xi Mozhou looked at his embarrassment, which he rarely showed, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Qu Tao kicked his calf and opened the water valve next to him.
"I have something else to do. I'll be out later. You explain to them and I'll leave first."
"It's late at night. What else can you do? Stay with me."
Qu Tao ignored the overbearing tone in his words. After washing his hands, he thought of something and stared at him.
"Why did you kiss me just now?"
"You lost the big adventure, and you forgot so quickly?"
"That's not what I meant."
This is not the way to mess up a love rival's party. Qu Tao looked outside and felt a little annoyed.
"What I mean is that if you kiss me, what will Teacher Shen do?"
"I kiss you, what does it have to do with him?"
"Did you two have a fight?"
Qu Tao raised his head and blinked while thinking. Xi Mozhou raised his index finger and flicked it on his forehead.
"Are you stupid? I'm going to have a fight with him, but you're still going to attend his Qiao Qian Banquet?"
"Then why did you kiss me? You're not trying to provoke Teacher Shen, are you?" Qu Tao said without waiting for him to say anything, "Xi Mozhou, I warn you, no matter what the situation is between you and Teacher Shen, don't try to use me as a catalyst for your relationship."
"What do you mean by that?"
Xi Mozhou's eyes were full of question marks, and he paused for a moment before speaking. Qu Tao thought he was playing dumb, glared at him angrily, and walked out.
"What do you mean, don't you know? All these years, you really took me for a fool?"
Coming out of the hall, Qu Tao slowed down his pace, thinking about how to face Shen Yichen, and at the same time saying goodbye to everyone.
Xi Mozhou caught up from behind and held his wrist.
"Qu Tao, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by using you as a catalyst?"
Qu Tao tried to shake him off several times but failed, and could only face his aggressive gaze.
"Xi Mozhou, what did you do before you were together with me? Do you really think I don't know?"
"What did I do?" Xi Mozhou was confused, and his words were full of grievance, "You were the one who left without saying goodbye, and now you want to turn the tables on me, aren't you too heartless?"
Qu Tao glanced at the center of the yard, where Shen Yichen was drinking with someone, and he wanted to end the conversation between the two quickly before the other party looked over here.
"Okay, you don't understand, right? Then I'll tell you straight," Qu Tao raised his lips, his unwillingness and resentment overlapping, "Did you confess to Teacher Shen before? After he went abroad, did you use me as his substitute?"
What the hell is going on? Could this little thing have left him because of this?
"Who told you that you are a substitute?"
Thinking that Qu Tao was angry because of jealousy, Xi Mozhou raised the corners of his lips unconsciously at the end of his words, but when he saw Qu Tao's angry look, he quickly put it away.
"It's true that I confessed to Yichen, but I was wrong at that time, and I never regarded you as a substitute. You are the one I like from the beginning to the end, and I am with you because I really like you."
From the time they met until now, it was the first time that Qu Tao heard him say that he liked him. He was surprised and remembered something, and his voice rose several degrees.
"Do you like me?"
"Yes."
"Xi Mozhou, you are lying to a three-year-old child. You like me and you mess up my company? Is there anyone who likes someone like you?"
"I..."
Everyone around him told him that it had nothing to do with him and it was not his responsibility, but he was still worried that once he said it, Qu Tao would leave his world.
When I first started looking for him and getting close to him, I felt guilty, but my subsequent love for him was genuine and without any impurities.
Xi Mozhou hesitated, not knowing how to explain. Qu Tao waited for a moment and snorted with disdain.
"What's the matter? The great editor-in-chief Xi can't come out?"
Xi Mozhou frowned, and seeing Shen Yichen walking towards him, he held his wrist and walked towards him.
"What's the relationship between Yichen and me? Since you don't believe me, let him tell you."
"No need."
Qu Tao tried to break free from the restraint of his wrist again, but Xi Mozhou directly pulled him into his arms. Shen Yichen walked closer and looked at the expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong with you two? Did you have a fight?"
Xi Mozhou looked at him after he had him firmly in his arms.
"Tell this little thing what our relationship is."
"Brother, good brother, what's wrong?"
Shen Yichen was confused and looked a little bewildered. Qu Tao looked away and muttered softly.
"You city people call each other like this and say you two have no relationship."
Xi Mozhou was really speechless. If a glare could kill, Qu Tao would have been covered in blood by now.
Xi Mozhou turned his head, kissed his thin lips hard in front of Shen Yichen, and looked at Shen Yichen standing opposite again.
"Tell him again, who have I liked in these years?"
"Qu Tao, who else could it be? Have you ever liked someone else?"
Although his mind was tangled, Shen Yichen answered without hesitation, but his eyes were still puzzled.
"What's wrong with you two?"
Xi Mozhou did not answer his question, but turned Qu Tao's cheek towards himself again.
"Who do I like, did you hear me?"
"No...no."
Before the last word was uttered, Xi Mozhou kissed him again as a punishment.
"What about now? Do you understand?"
"No..."
Qu Tao didn't finish his words, and was kissed again in front of outsiders. He glared at him angrily.
"Xi Mozhou, you're not done yet, are you?"
"I think you're stubborn, I'll help you change."
"You're the stubborn one."
Qu Tao had no confidence and spoke in a low voice. Shen Yichen looked like he couldn't bear to watch any more.
"Hurry up and kiss, and then come over to eat."
"Who wants to kiss him?"
Qu Tao saw Shen Yichen walking away, and struggled again in his arms. Xi Mozhou hugged him into his arms and held him tightly.
"Tao Tao, it was my fault before. I never said I liked you, but I can guarantee that I really liked you, and I only liked you."
Before Qu Tao recovered from his tenderness, Xi Mozhou whispered in his ear and added,
"Would you like to stay with me tonight?"
