Chapter 145 Extra 12: End

Chu Rongshi raised his hand, but clenched it in the void, and in the end it did not fall on Qi Nian.

He distanced himself from Qi Nian without making a sound, not even knowing what he was saying: "It will get longer later."

Qi Nian's head was originally resting on Chu Rongshi, with his entire center of gravity on him. Chu Rongshi suddenly distanced himself from him, and he immediately fell forward.

Fortunately, Qi Nian controlled his center of gravity in time and stood up straight. He raised his head and looked at Chu Rongshi with suspicion.

Chu Rongshi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, and smiled a little stiffly: "What's wrong?"

Qi Nian touched his chin and walked around Chu Rongshi: "I think you are a little weird today."

"Really? Maybe you're a little tired." Chu Rongshi said.

Qi Nian didn't know whether to believe him or not, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Anyway, I didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Rongshi breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he felt a little empty in his heart.

Not far away, Qi Luling called out to Qi Nian, who glanced at Chu Rongshi and immediately ran over.

Only then did Chu Rongshi dare to look at the young man not far away without any scruples.

Qi Nian's current appearance is almost the same as when he was a child, with a delicate and pretty face and curly hair, just like the most eye-catching doll in the window.

At the same time, she has a lively nature that dolls don't have, and her every frown and smile is particularly eye-catching.

Chu Rongshi was watching intently until Qi Nian suddenly turned around and looked at him. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he completely lost his usual composure and looked away in a panic.

Not far away, Qi Nian looked at Chu Rong, narrowed his eyes, and muttered: "Why is my brother acting weird today?"

"What are you talking about? Do you remember what I just said?" Qi Luling tapped Qi Nian's head.

"I know, I know." Qi Nian covered his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, you can't stop protecting my head just because I have finished the exam. My head is very important."

Qi Luling looked at his serious expression and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I won't do it again next time."

Qi Nian was satisfied, put down his hand and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go find my brother."

But when I turned around, I found that Chu Rongshi had left without knowing when.

Qi Nian: “…” Something is wrong, this is very wrong.

His brother was obviously very sticky to him before, what happened today?

It seems that he needs to talk to the other party. Could it be that he has another good friend? Qi Nian thought wildly.

Not long after, Qi Nian received a graduation gift from Chu Rongshi.

A very delicate box, inside of which was something Qi Nian had always wanted, but he was not very happy.

Qi Nian curled his lips, closed the box, and looked at Chu Tianheng: "Is my brother so busy? He doesn't even have time to come and give me a gift in person."

"Yes, he just received a call and went back to work." Chu Tianheng, who was running errands, explained patiently. After he finished speaking, he said, "Qi Xiaonian, you treat me too differently. You looked so sullen when you saw me."

"I'm not upset." Although Qi Nian was a little unhappy, he didn't look upset. He quickly said, "No, I'm also very happy that Brother Tianheng is here."

After saying that, he shamelessly reached out: "Brother Tianheng, where is my graduation present?"

Chu Tianheng snorted proudly and said, "No."

Qi Nian didn't believe him: "How could there be no one? I saw you hiding behind me."

"You have sharp eyes." Chu Tianheng complained and handed him the gift: "Happy graduation."

Qi Nian received another gift and smiled happily: "Thank you, Brother Tianheng~"

Chu Tianheng couldn't help laughing.

——

At night, Qi Nian secretly came out of the room, went all the way to the Chu family next door, and then went straight to Chu Rongshi's room with a clear goal.

However, when he reached out and turned the doorknob, he found that the door was locked.

Qi Nian had no choice but to raise his hand in despair and knock on Chu Rongshi's door.

Chu Rongshi's voice came from inside, asking who it was.

Qi Nian opened his mouth to speak, but then he thought of something, smiled wickedly, and immediately shut up, then knocked on the door again.

The door opened, and before Chu Rongshi could see the situation outside clearly, a figure rushed over and fell directly into Chu Rongshi's arms.

"Hahaha, it's me! What do you think? Are you surprised?" Qi Nian laughed happily, and then he realized that Chu Rongshi seemed to have just taken a shower, and when he came over to open the door, he was just casually wearing a T-shirt.

Qi Nian's hand was on the other person's T-shirt and he could still feel it was a little hot.

Chu Rongshi's body was a little stiff. He pretended to distance himself from her casually, walked into the room, got a glass of water, drank it, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came here to thank you for the gift you gave me. I like it very much. Thank you, brother~" Qi Nian didn't notice anything was wrong and followed Chu Rongshi like a little tail.

Chu Rongshi's brows softened: "As long as you like it."

"Hehe." Qi Nian sat down on the edge of the bed and said with some nostalgia: "Brother, we haven't slept together for a long time. I've decided that I will sleep here tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Rongshi immediately said, "No."

Qi Nian looked at Chu Rong in surprise, obviously not expecting him to refuse. He curled his lips and asked, "Why?"

Chu Rongshi: "The bed is too small."

"How can it be small?" Qi Nian looked at the 1.8-meter-long bed in front of him and felt unhappy. He felt that Chu Rongshi seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

Qi Nian simply lied and said to Chu Rongshi directly: "I took a shower before I came here."

After saying that, he went straight into the quilt, looked at Chu Rong with a sly look, and said pitifully: "Brother, do you really have the heart to chase me away?"

Chu Rongshi: “…”

He pressed his forehead with a headache, looking somewhat helpless.

It can't be too obvious, or Nian Nian will find out. Thinking of this, he didn't refuse.

It shouldn't be a big deal if two people each cover themselves with a blanket.

Qi Nian was very happy that he had successfully stayed here with Chu Rongshi, and secretly made a gesture.

Chu Rongshi went to bed and turned off the lights. After a few seconds of silence in the dark, Qi Nian couldn't help it and moved closer to Chu Rongshi: "Brother, I can't sleep."

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Rongshi said, "If you can't sleep, count sheep."

"Tsk, you're too perfunctory, aren't you?" Qi Nian hummed in dissatisfaction, deliberately throwing a tantrum: "You went too far today, not letting me lean on you, not letting me sleep with you. I seriously suspect you're dating someone else, and I don't want to care about you anymore!"

As Qi Nian spoke, he deliberately turned over and made a lot of noise.

He waited in the dark for a long time with his eyes closed, but Chu Rongshi didn't speak and he almost got angry.

At this moment, there was finally movement next to him. A rustling sound was heard, and Chu Rongshi seemed to be groping for something.

Finally, a big, slightly warm hand held his hand. In the darkness, Chu Rongshi's low and gentle voice was particularly clear: "Don't be angry."

Qi Nian hummed twice to express his attitude: "If you say one word, I won't be angry anymore?"

Holding his hand with a little force, Qi Nian's eyes flickered and he fell directly into Chu Rongshi's arms. However, there was still a layer of quilt between them. Chu Rongshi looked at Qi Nian in the dark and explained patiently: "I'm a little tired today. I didn't get along with others. I just wanted to be with you, so don't be angry."

Qi Nian curled his lips in the dark, almost unable to hold back his laughter, but he still managed to hold it back, humming, "Really?"

Chu Rongshi said seriously: "Really."

Qi Nian finally couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, okay, based on our friendship, I believe you."

Chu Rongshi also laughed when he heard this.

Qi Nian immediately crawled from his own quilt into Chu Rongshi's quilt, rubbing against him like a small animal, and poked Chu Rongshi's abdominal muscles, studying them carefully: "Brother, how did you train your abdominal muscles? They are so beautiful. I don't have them."

Qi Nian was simply depressed to death.

Chu Rongshi reached out and pressed the hand that was making trouble on his abdomen. His palm felt a little hot. He held Qi Nian's hand and moved it aside.

Seeing that he refused to let her touch him, Qi Nian pouted and said, "You are really stingy."

Chu Rongshi: “Yeah.”

Everyone thought: "..."

You still say "hmm"!

Qi Nian felt like getting angry again. Chu Rongshi would never be like this before!

However, before he could get angry, he keenly noticed that there was something different about Chu Rongshi, as if... his breathing was a little heavier than usual.

Are you sick? Your palms are so hot.

Qi Nian Gu couldn't bear to be angry anymore, and quickly reached out and touched Chu Rongshi's forehead, which seemed a little hot.

"Brother, do you have a fever?" Qi Nian's voice softened, full of worry.

"No." Chu Rongshi said.

"You're still saying no, but your voice is hoarse." Qi Nian didn't believe it and fumbled to turn on the light.

However, before he could sit up, Chu Rongshi picked him up, and before he could react, he was stuffed back into his quilt.

Qi Nian: "? Brother..."

Chu Rongshi got out of bed directly. Qi Nian couldn't see clearly. Then he heard the bathroom door ring. After the door closed, the sound of running water came from inside.

Thoughts: Oo

Not sure if he understood something vaguely, but when Chu Rongshi came back again, Qi Nian calmed down.

He reached out his hand and tentatively touched Chu Rongshi. It felt so cool, so he took a cool shower.

Qi Nian couldn't help but worry: "Brother, you won't get sick, right?"

Chu Rongshi didn't expect him to speak, so he whispered, "No."

Qi Nian: "Oh..."

No more talking.

The room became quiet, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing. They both knew clearly that the other was not asleep, but no one spoke.

Qi Nian still felt a little uncomfortable. When had he ever been so distant from Chu Rongshi?

But the other party seemed... He couldn't tell what he felt at the moment. Was he annoyed? Not really, but his mind was a little confused and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Ah! So annoying!

That night, Qi Nian experienced the troubles of growing up for the first time.

I thought I would have trouble sleeping all night, but unexpectedly I fell asleep in a daze while thinking.

I don’t know if it’s because of the random thoughts before going to bed, but Qi Nian didn’t sleep well and started to dream in a daze.

His brain was overactive, and his dreams seemed both real and fake. He seemed to feel that Chu Rongshi, who was sleeping next to him, sat up and then pressed him down...

Qi Nian suddenly opened his eyes, his face flushed, and he looked up subconsciously...there was no one.

He actually took the previous dream seriously! Qi Nian felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to face Chu Rongshi for a moment.

I closed my eyes and prepared myself mentally for a long time. I turned my head carefully and looked to the side. The result was... the bed next to me was empty and the quilt was neatly folded.

Qi Nian carefully reached out and touched the side, but it was completely cold. Chu Rongshi must have left for a while.

Everyone thought: "..."

I don't know why, but I felt a little depressed and couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up, folded the quilt and left.

When Yan Jiru returned home, he saw his angry little son and said with a smile, "You don't have classes today, why did you get up so early?"

Qi Nian didn't know whether he heard clearly what he said or not. He just responded randomly and hurried back to his room.

Yan Jiru looked at Qi Nian's back in surprise and shook his head: "This child, hasn't woken up yet?"

On the other side, Chu Rongshi came back from his morning run and hesitated for a long time before opening the door. As a result, he saw an empty bed and a folded quilt.

My heart also feels empty.

Originally, I wasn't sure whether Qi Nian had noticed anything, but now, I'm sure...

He raised his hand and pressed his brow, suppressing the anxiety in his heart that had nowhere to vent. He exhaled, and after a moment, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

After Chu Rongshi calmed down, he went next door to find Qi Nian, and learned from Yan Jiru that the other party was not at home.

Yan Jiru said: "This child just received a phone call, saying that he was going to get together with his classmates. He was in a hurry and didn't even have breakfast."

When Chu Rongshi heard that he hadn't had breakfast, he frowned, then relaxed.

Qi Nian was indeed called away by his classmates, but he was not that anxious. However, he didn't know if he was hiding from someone, so he went out as soon as he received the call.

It was still early before the agreed time, so he bought breakfast and sat in the breakfast shop, eating while daydreaming.

The phone vibrated, Qi Nian opened it and saw a message from Chu Rongshi.

——Don't forget to have breakfast.

Qi Nian smiled subconsciously and replied while chewing a bun.

——I know. I’m not a child.

After replying, he took a big bite of the bun. Hmm, this bun is delicious, with thin skin and big fillings.

After finishing breakfast, Qi Nian felt bored, so he wandered around a nearby shopping mall for a while.

Those who gathered today are all those who have a good relationship with him, and Qi Nian plans to buy some gifts for them.

Gifts given to each other by high school students don't need to be expensive. They can buy basketballs for students who like sports, paintbrushes for students who like painting, and harmonicas for students who like playing musical instruments.

Oh, Jiang Zhi will also go today. When it was his turn to buy things for him, Qi Nian was in a dilemma because Jiang Zhi didn't have any particular hobbies, but he loved studying.

I can't buy study materials, right? It doesn't seem appropriate.

Qi Nian was entangled in thoughts for a long time, and finally bought a very special bookmark. The bookmark itself was not expensive, but the meaning was very good.

For a relationship like his with Jiang Zhi, he naturally cares more about things other than price.

After buying the gifts, the time was almost up, so Qi Nian took a bus to the agreed place.

They really didn't know where to go, so they made an appointment at a KTV. As soon as they entered, everyone was there.

Jiang Zhizheng was talking to a few other people. When Qi Nian walked in, they saw that he had a lot of bags in his hands, so they naturally came over to help him very enthusiastically.

Liu Yu sat in front of Qi Nian and Jiang Zhi and had a good relationship with them. When she saw Qi Nian bought a gift, she felt embarrassed: "Why did you buy something? I didn't prepare anything."

When the others saw that Liu Yu was not prepared either, they immediately felt relieved.

"I went out early, so I bought gifts. I suddenly remembered it and didn't think of preparing it before." Qi Nian comforted them.

"Haha, in that case, I won't be polite." Liu Yu happily took his gift and immediately said, "To express my gratitude, let me sing a song for you."

So, Liu Yu ordered a song called "My Good Brother".

Listening to the passionate opening note, everyone chanted in unison: "..."

After Liu Yu finished singing, Qi Nian felt that his ears were damaged. Jiang Zhi beside him also felt the same way. He complained: "Are you sure you are thanking Qi Nian and not torturing him?"

"How can you talk like that?" Liu Yu immediately became unhappy and began to urge others to let Jiang Zhi sing.

Jiang Zhi had no choice but to sing. Unexpectedly, he sang quite well.

Liu Yu didn't feel like she was outdone at all, and said happily, "Well done, Jiang Zhi, you hid it really well."

Jiang Zhi ate his fries calmly: "Anyone can sing better than you."

Liu Yu: “…”

"You can't just eat snacks and drink drinks when you come to KTV, right?" A friend beside me suddenly laughed and pointed to the KTV menu: "There are wines here, how about it, do you want to try it?"

Another person was also very interested when he heard this. Teenagers who have just reached adulthood always like to try things that adults do not allow.

The two of them discussed it together and began to urge Qi Nian: "Qi Nian, will you come? Let's order something with a lower alcohol content."

Liu Yu immediately said, "I won't drink it. I'm afraid my dad will beat me to death."

Although they have a good relationship, she has only drunk a little beer and doesn't dare to drink outside.

Jiang Zhize said nothing.

Qi Nian felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He had never drunk alcohol before, but if he said it out loud, he would be exposed as a coward.

He coughed lightly, and without saying whether he wanted to drink or not, he asked first: "What kind of wine would you like to order?"

Although they looked very brave, they didn't dare to try strong liquor. Finally, they pointed at the cocktail on top and said, "Drink this."

This will definitely not make you drunk. Otherwise, if you get drunk and your parents find out, you will definitely get a beating when you get home.

Qi Nian took a look and thought, hmm, the alcohol content is quite low, just a little higher than beer.

He had drunk beer before, but it tasted so bad that he only drank a little and never drank it again.

However, many people can drink several bottles of beer, so it should be difficult to get drunk.

Thinking of this, Qi Nian, who was very concerned about his reputation, felt relieved and nodded: "Okay."

So, several people ordered drinks. Qi Nian carefully chose a mojito with the lowest alcohol content. In order not to make others think he was drunk, he pretended to say, "I think this tastes better. I don't want to drink anything else."

The few of them had a good relationship, so they could easily see Qi Nian's little intentions. They winked at each other but didn't expose him.

The bravest one said directly, "I want Manhattan."

Good guy, 32 degrees. But this is a small amount.

Soon the drinks for several people were served. Qi Nian sang a song and felt a little thirsty after it ended. He picked up the wine next to him and took a sip. Then he frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

He looked down and saw that it was not his mojito.

"Fuck, Qinian, are you okay? The drink you drank was mine, Manhattan, but don't worry, I haven't drunk it yet. Ah... you drank a lot in one gulp, are you okay? Are you dizzy?"

Everyone thought: "..."

He wasn't feeling dizzy anymore, but he knew that his alcohol tolerance was definitely not that good. While he was sober, Qi Nian hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Yan Yuchuan, asking him to pick him up.

I didn’t dare tell my parents. As for Chu Rongshi… Anyway, it was Yan Yuchuan who sent the message.

On the other side, Yan Yuchuan happened to be a little far away. Seeing that his brother's message seemed very anxious, he thought about it and sent another message to Chu Rongshi.

Qi Nian probably didn't expect that after going around in circles, the person who finally came to pick him up was Chu Rongshi.

When Chu Rongshi hurried over, Qi Nian was already dizzy and leaning on the sofa with a flushed face.

When the others saw Chu Rong's dark face, they all became like quails and didn't dare to say a word.

After Chu Rongshi led his men away, they breathed a sigh of relief: "How scary! Will Qi Nian get beaten when he returns?"

Jiang Zhi said affirmatively: "No." His brother was unwilling to beat him.

——

"Why... it's you?" Qi Nian pouted when he looked at Chu Rong, seeming unhappy.

Chu Rongshi's expression darkened: "Why, you don't want to bother with me anymore?"

Qi Nian didn't answer, but snorted: "You are hiding from me."

Chu Rongshi was about to fasten his seat belt for him, but when he heard this, he paused and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Brother, do you remember? I promised you that you are not allowed to fall in love before you are 18 years old." The wind blew in through the car window, and Qi Nian became more sober. He said to Chu Rongshi in front of him.

Chu Rongshi was completely motionless. Due to the need to fasten their seat belts, the two of them were a little close to each other. With just a slight breath, he could smell the faint scent of alcohol on Qi Nian.

Even breathing became cautious.

"I don't want to be like this with you, becoming distant and like ordinary friends with little contact." Qi Nian's expression showed a bit of sadness, as if he couldn't accept it just thinking about it.

"No, it won't be like this." Chu Rongshi's voice was hoarse. He brushed aside Qi Nian's hair with his fingers and whispered, "Nian Nian and I are the best in the world."

Qi Nian smiled instantly, and when he looked at Chu Rong, he restrained his smile: "Brother, I am eighteen years old now, I can fall in love, and so can you."

Chu Rongshi stared at the boy in front of him and said, "Is it just because you don't want to become distant?"

"No..." Qi Nian blushed and dodged for a moment, as if he had finally mustered up the courage to look directly at Chu Rong: "Brother, I have been unable to leave you for a long time. When I was thirteen, I was too domineering to let you fall in love. I was afraid that you would be with others instead of with me."

Chu Rongshi couldn't wait for Qi Nian to say the next word. This was too uncertain. He took the initiative to express his feelings, even if he was rejected: "Niannian, I can't treat you as my brother anymore. I'm sorry. I like you."

Qi Nian was a little stunned, then he showed a happy smile and said loudly: "Chu Rongshi, I like you too! I don't want you to just be my brother."

As soon as the words fell, he was greeted by a hot, long-suppressed kiss.
