Chapter 86 Very Scheming

Being held in Chu Rongshi's arms, Qi Nian didn't say a word for a long time, nor did he push him away.

Then, he felt his earlobe being gently pinched by rough fingertips, and Qi Nian's eyelashes trembled.

Chu Rongshi called him: "Nian Nian."

Qi Nian's voice also trembled a little: "What...what are you doing?"

Well, it sounds a bit fierce.

Qi Nian realized that he was stuttering and felt angry and embarrassed. His face turned red and he subconsciously wanted to hide himself.

However, as soon as he lowered his head, it was buried in Chu Rongshi's shoulder. He was instantly enveloped by the pleasant scent of the other person. Qi Nian's movements froze again, and he even hesitated whether to continue breathing.

Then he laughed again when he heard Chu Rongshi.

I usually don't feel it, but why do I feel that the other person's smile is so annoying today? Qi Nian raised his head and glared at the other person in an awkward manner.

Chu Rongshi raised his hand and touched his eyelids. Qi Nian closed his eyes subconsciously and heard him say, "Doesn't your eyes feel uncomfortable like this?"

It's indeed a bit uncomfortable to stare at people in such an awkward posture.

Qi Nian reached out and pushed Chu Rongshi, and whispered, "Then let me go."

Chu Rongshi did not listen to him, but said: "Nian Nian, give me the answer first."

Everyone thought: "..."

He held it in for a long time, and whispered, "You won't let me go if I don't give it to you?"

Chu Rongshi seemed a little disappointed. He looked at Qi Nian and said, "Maybe there is not enough time to think about it. It doesn't matter. I can wait."

Everyone thought: "..."

He suddenly felt guilty, wondering if he had gone too far. And Chu Rongshi seemed a little sad...

It has to be said that Qi Nian is really soft-hearted and does not respond to tough tactics. As soon as Chu Rongshi showed a little weakness, he began to reflect on himself.

Then, Chu Rongshi raised his hand and gently rubbed his curly hair, then let him go and said, "Go home."

For a moment, Qi Nian suddenly felt empty in his heart. He watched Chu Rongshi sit down, fasten his seat belt, and prepare to start the car.

Suddenly, a slightly smaller hand appeared on the steering wheel. Chu Rongshi froze and turned to look at Qi Nian in surprise.

The latter lowered his head slightly, as if he mustered up great courage to make such a move. At this time, his jade-like cheeks were flushed. Under Chu Rongshi's gaze, he said in a low and quick voice: "Don't you want an answer? This is my answer."

Chu Rongshi's hand slipped from the steering wheel, taking Qi Nian's hand with him. The latter subconsciously held Chu Rongshi's fingers, then looked up at the other person.

He had no idea how seductive his unintentional actions were.

Chu Rongshi suddenly held Qi Nian's hand with his backhand, exerting a little force. He stared at Qi Nian with deep eyes, which made Qi Nian fidget. He moved his butt uncomfortably and looked up at Chu Rongshi: "You... don't keep looking at me."

Chu Rongshi chuckled, and moved slightly closer, stopping when they were close enough to feel each other's breathing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Nian Nian, I'm very happy."

Qi Nian glanced at the smile on Chu Rongshi's face and thought: You don't have to say it, I feel it.

The first time he saw Chu Rong, he showed such a smile. It was not a chuckle, nor was it a polite smile that did not reach the eyes. It was a smile that came from the heart, a smile that made the heaven and earth pale in comparison.

Qi Nian looked at him and smiled unconsciously. The shame and nervousness were much less, and his heart was beating faster. He clearly realized that from this moment on, he and Chu Rongshi were no longer just brothers.

But rather than being nervous, I feel more... anticipation for the future. What will be different after my identity changes?

"Niannian." Chu Rongshi called him again. Qi Nian came back to his senses and looked at Chu Rongshi, realizing that the distance between them seemed a little close.

The air seemed to become much thicker, and Chu Rongshi's narrow and beautiful eyes were so deep that Qi Nian's breathing tightened a little.

Chu Rongshi approached little by little. At this moment, everything seemed to have turned into a slow motion. Qi Nian could see that with each other's movements, the distance between them was shortened little by little, five centimeters, three centimeters... one centimeter...

Just when their lips were about to touch, Qi Nian suddenly closed his eyes, and with his cheeks flushed, he pushed Chu Rong away. The latter was caught off guard and his back hit something, making a slight "hiss..." sound.

Qi Nian felt guilty instantly, and didn't know where to look. He asked anxiously, "Brother, are you okay?"

Chu Rongshi looked at him helplessly: "Maybe something happened."

"Ah? What should we do?" Qi Nian's brain couldn't keep up, and he didn't know what he was saying: "Then let's go to the hospital."

Chu Rongshi chuckled: "I was just kidding, it was just a bump."

The anxiety on Qi Nian's face froze, and then he glared at Chu Rong. This time the distance between them was enough for him to make such an expression.

Chu Rongshi: "Are you angry?"

Qi Nian curled his lips: "No, I'm not that stingy."

Chu Rongshi gently touched his forehead: "Yeah."

Qi Nian moved uncomfortably and urged Chu Rongshi: "Drive quickly. If this continues, we'll just have to spend the night in the car."

Then he heard Chu Rongshi laugh again, and Qi Nian muttered: "...What's so funny?"

Chu Rongshi turned his head and looked at him: "What are you talking about?"

Qi Nian sat up straight, his face getting hot again: "Nothing."

He suddenly remembered something important and quickly took out his phone: "I haven't told my second brother before I left. I have to tell him right away."

Qi Nian sent a message quickly, guessing that Chu Tianheng was still recording the show and probably didn't have time to check his phone, but he could just check it after the recording was over.

He looked at his phone, turned his head absentmindedly, and when he secretly looked at Chu Rong, he had an indescribable feeling.

He felt dizzy and it didn't seem real that he was actually with Chu Rongshi.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had accidentally spoken out what was in his heart.

Chu Rongshi turned his head to look at him, not knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything.

Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

They soon arrived at the parking lot at home. Qi Nian unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Then Chu Rongshi held his hand. The other person inserted his fingers into his palm and then into his fingers. The ordinary handshake was changed to an interlocking of ten fingers.

Chu Rongshi said: "Is it true now?"

Qi Nian blushed and did not answer the question: "What if uncles and aunts see this?"

Chu Rongshi had no choice but to say, "Let go for a while."

Qi Nian felt relieved after hearing that. In his mind, Chu Rongshi was a synonym for reliability. If the other party didn't want to be discovered, it would basically be impossible for him to be discovered.

He was happy and smiled: "Let's go, let's go."

Sure enough, when they arrived at a place where there might be people, Chu Rongshi took the initiative to let go of Qi Nian's hand, but before letting go, he gently pinched Qi Nian's fingers.

When he let go, Qi Nian subconsciously curled her fingers and her heart beat faster. It was just holding hands!

Qi Nian felt that they were now really like primary school students who were in a premature relationship and were afraid of being discovered by their parents.

Thinking of this, he smiled inexplicably when looking at Chu Rong. The latter raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he didn't know what he was laughing at, he smiled too.

"What are you two brothers whispering about?" Ning Min watched from the side for a long time, and seeing the two of them laughing at each other, she became curious.

Qi Nian came back to his senses and looked at Ning Min. He felt a little guilty and quickly shook his head and said, "No...nothing."

Chu Rongshi: “…”

He looked at Qi Nian, whose expression of "I feel guilty" was clearly written on his face, and found a reason to dispel Ning Min's doubts.

Qi Nian sat aside and touched his nose.

In the evening, when Qi Nian was about to go back to his room to rest, he received a message from Chu Rongshi, asking him to go to the study.

Qi Nian scratched his head, wondering if something happened, but without thinking too much, he went to the study.

As soon as he opened the door, a hand pulled him in, and then the door behind him was closed, and he was held in the arms of a tall man.

It all happened so quickly that it was not until this moment that Qi Nian felt his heart beating wildly.

He swallowed nervously and asked, "What...what are you doing?"

Chu Rongshi: "I miss you."

Everyone thought: “???”

He had a face full of questions, not quite understanding Chu Rongshi: "Can't we always see each other?"

Chu Rongshi touched his forehead with his: "But I can't hold your hand or hug you."

Qi Nian's face flushed instantly, his eyes wandering: "It doesn't have to be like this, isn't it enough to be able to see it?"

Chu Rongshi said with a smile: "Maybe Nian Nian is still young and doesn't understand."

What don't you understand? Qi Nian was a little unconvinced and subconsciously wanted to ask, but he held back. He had a hunch that the answer to this question was not what he wanted to hear right now.

Seeing that he didn't ask, Chu Rongshi seemed a little lost. He stroked Qi Nian's eyebrows with his fingers, landed on his cheek, pinched it gently, and then his eyes fell on the boy's lips, which were like plum blossoms in the snow, with deep eyes.

Qi Nian didn't notice the man's gaze. He pursed his lips and felt the other's fingers tighten slightly. He looked up at him in confusion, and then felt... Chu Rongshi's eyes seemed a little scary.

Qi Nian said angrily: "Why...are you looking at me like that?"

The other person's gaze seemed to want to eat someone.

Chu Rongshi blinked and calmed down: "Nothing."

Qi Nian felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he changed the subject: "Brother, didn't you bump your back today? How do you feel now? It doesn't hurt, right?"

"It seems to be a little painful." Chu Rongshi said: "Would you like me to take a look?"

Qi Nian didn't think much about it. He was simply worried about Chu Rongshi, so he nodded.

Chu Rongshi let him go and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt with his fingers.

For some reason, Qi Nian felt that the atmosphere seemed to be getting more tense. He opened his mouth stupidly and said, "Just watch it here?"

Chu Rongshi paused for a moment and said, "Then go to my room."

Qi Nian: It seems even stranger.

He shook his head quickly: "Let's stay here. I want to see if there are any injuries."

Chu Rongshi continued his actions until all the buttons of his shirt were undone. Qi Nian swallowed unconsciously, and the sound was particularly clear in the quiet study.

Chu Rongshi paused and looked at Qi Nian. Qi Nian's face flushed red, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in: "I... I suddenly feel a little thirsty."

After he finished speaking, he saw Chu Rongshi go to get a cup of water, took it and handed it to him.

Qi Nian: “…” That’s not necessary.

For a moment, he didn't know where to put his eyes. He took the cup of water, blushed, and drank it all in one gulp.

"So thirsty?" Chu Rongshi smiled. He took back the empty cup and asked, "Do you want more?"

Qi Nian's eyes wandered and he shook his head violently.

The water cup was put back on the table, and the slight knocking sound broke the silence of the study room. Chu Rongshi took off his shirt with Qi Nian on his back.

Qi Nian's ears turned red, but his eyes looked over unconsciously, and then he couldn't take his eyes away. At this moment, he understood the meaning of fitness. It turns out that the back can be trained to be so beautiful!

No, no, no, Qi Nian shook his head violently and came to his senses. Maybe it was because he had not spoken, Chu Rongshi turned his head to look at him. This picture was particularly shocking. Qi Nian pinched his numb fingers and forced himself to come back to his senses.

My eyes fell on Chu Rongshi's back. Hmm, it looked good, but... there was no sign of injury! Not even a bruise!

Qi Nian finally came to his senses and looked at Chu Rong with a dim gaze, suspecting that the other party had done it on purpose.

But looking at Chu Rongshi's serious face, Qi Nian was a little hesitant. Was he overthinking? It seemed that Chu Rongshi was not such a scheming person.

Qi Nian was in a state of confusion, and said with a red face: "No... I'm not hurt."

Chu Rongshi: “Yeah.”

Qi Nian couldn't help but remind him: "You...put on your shirt quickly."

Chu Rongshi nodded and put on his shirt, but he didn't know if it was Qi Nian's illusion, why did he feel that the other party was moving so slowly?

Qi Nian shook his head, thinking that his brain was a little broken, and he was simply blinded by the male beauty! No, no, he had to go out and calm down.

"I... I'm leaving!" Qi Nian said hurriedly to Chu Rongshi, and then left the study immediately.

The study door opened and closed, and Chu Rongshi buttoned his clothes much faster.

Qi Nian quickly returned to his room, opened the window, and stuck his head out of the window. A gust of cold wind blew past, and his mind immediately became clear.

The scene just now appeared in his mind again. Qi Nian chuckled, then quickly restrained his smile. Why did he feel that the smile just now was a little obscene?

He shook his head, trying not to let his imagination run wild. Hey, his brother must have simply asked him to help check if he was injured. How could he have such strange thoughts? This was really wrong. This was really wrong.

Qi Nian condemned himself in his heart.

Before going to bed, Qi Nian closed his eyes, thought of something, opened his eyes again, hesitated for a moment, and picked up his phone.

In the study, Chu Rongshi's cell phone vibrated. He turned his head to look at the nickname of the message sender, then stopped and picked up the phone.

【Joint Thoughts】: Little sheep looking out.jpg

【Qi Nian】: Brother, are you still awake? It's very late. I saw that the light in your study is still on.

Chu Rongshi smiled.

【Chu Rongshi】: Let’s go to sleep now.

【Qinian】：Then...good night!

[Chu Rongshi]: Well, good night.

——

School started a few days after the New Year. Qi Nian turned off the alarm clock and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Ning Min just woke up, and when she saw Chu Rongshi hadn't left yet, she was a little surprised: "Rongshi, why haven't you gone to work today?"

There has been a lot of work at the company since the holiday, so Chu Rongshi usually goes to work very early. No wonder Ning Min was surprised that he hasn't gone yet so late today.

Chu Rongshi raised his head and glanced at Qi Nian.

Qi Nian: “!” Why are you looking at me? Don’t be so obvious!

Fortunately, Chu Rongshi quickly looked away and said, "Nian Nian starts school today, I'll take him there."

Qi Nian sat at the dining table feeling a little uncomfortably. He took a bite of breakfast, looked up, and saw Ning Min looking at him. He smiled and nervously took another bite.

Fortunately, Ning Min didn't think too much about it. Instead, she felt that the two brothers had a good relationship and she was very happy.

After breakfast, Qi Nian got into Chu Rongshi's car and finally couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction and complained: "Brother, you should be more restrained at home."

Chu Rongshi felt that he was wronged: "I have been very restrained."

Everyone thought: "..."

Well, maybe he was overthinking it, and Auntie didn't notice anything_(:з」∠)_

The car quickly stopped at the school gate. Qi Nian unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car when he heard Chu Rongshi cough lightly.

He stopped and looked at the other party with some confusion.

When he and Chu Rongshi looked at each other, Qi Nian inexplicably understood what the other party meant. His cheeks began to heat up again. He tightened his fingers and hugged Chu Rongshi quickly. Before the other party could react, he let go: "Brother, see you in the afternoon!"

The warmth of the other person is still in my arms, but unfortunately that person has already run far away.

"Qi Nian! Why are you running so fast?" Lu Ze saw Qi Nian running from afar and looked at him with some confusion.

Qi Nian's cheeks were still a little red. He calmed his pounding heart and turned his head to look at the school gate. Unfortunately, he could no longer see the outside of the gate. He shook his head and said, "I'm exercising."

Lu Ze looked at Qi Nian with some suspicion, and was speechless: "Your reason is too perfunctory."

Qi Nian raised his head and said, "Then you should understand. I don't want to tell you the reason."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's my fault that I don't have the tact to see clearly." Lu Ze pretended to be sad.

Qi Nian was speechless and changed the subject: "How was your winter vacation? I don't think you're still working, are you?"

Don't mention it, it's really possible. After all, Jiang's father simply treats Lu Ze as a donkey in the production team. But Lu Ze should enjoy it, after all, the other party wants to improve so much.

Lu Ze was in a good mood and said, "I went back to my hometown to rest for a few days."

The hometown he mentioned was naturally his adoptive parents' place. As for how he convinced Jiang's father, there was no need to say it. After all, with Lu Ze's growth rate, it was obviously a great surprise to Jiang's father, who was more focused on the future of the company.

So it was no problem to take a few days off. As for whether Lu Ze would be closer to his parents, Father Jiang would not consider it at all, as he thought Lu Ze was a smart man.

The two of them were walking and chatting when they ran into the class monitor and several boys in the class.

When squad leader Wang Hengyu saw them, he was extremely happy: "Lü Zeqinian, what a coincidence, you should be fine now, right?"

Qi Nian always felt that Wang Hengyu was a little strange, but she still told the truth: "It's okay."

Wang Hengyu immediately said happily: "That's great, come with me and move the books for our class."

No wonder Wang Hengyu was so happy. It turned out that he saw two strong men. How could he not be happy?

So, the two of them followed Wang Hengyu and his friends to move the books.

When they arrived at the place where the books were distributed, Wang Hengyu gave the list to the teacher in charge. Qi Nian was watching the teacher looking for books for them when he heard a joking noise coming from the side.

Qi Nian turned around curiously and saw a girl walking towards him. She was also from their class and her name was Fang Jing.

He looked at the inexplicably excited boys strangely, feeling a little puzzled. What was going on?

Fortunately, Lu Ze, who has a PHS, was there to educate Qi Nian: "Wang Hengyu and Fang Jing are together."

Qi Nian took a look and found that there was indeed a vague ambiguity between the two of them. It turned out that the other boys were just instigating the trouble.

Wang Hengyu was tall and handsome, but at this moment he shook his head in a naive manner, glared at the boys who were making a fuss, and coughed lightly: "That's enough for you guys."

Fang Jing rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly, glanced at the books not far away, and said, "I heard that you need to pick up the books, so I came to take a look."

"Are you here to get books or to see the monitor?"

"Do you even need to ask this question? You must be here to see the monitor. What's so interesting about the book?"

Fang Jing blushed and looked at Wang Hengyu for help.

Seeing his girlfriend in pain, Wang Hengyu quickly gave each of the boys who were making a fuss a stack of books and said, "You guys take these to the boys' dormitory, and Lu Ze, Qi Nian and I will take the girls' books to the dormitory."

"Squad leader, you value women over friends!"

"That's enough. I'll treat you guys to a nice dinner later, okay?"

"Okay!"

After a few people left, the scene finally quieted down. Wang Hengyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qi Nian and Lu Ze: "You are still the best."

Obviously, because Qi Nian and Lu Ze were not big fans of making trouble, they stayed behind to deliver the books to the girls with Wang Hengyu.

There were quite a lot of books to read, and Fang Jing was not idle either, so she also picked up a stack.

On the way, Fang Jing looked at Qinian curiously from time to time. Many girls in the class were curious about Qinian. Qinian was good-looking and not talkative. They basically could not see each other except during class time. When they finally saw each other, Fang Jing couldn't help but look at Qinian from time to time.

Although the other person's gaze was very obscure, Qi Nian was very sensitive to other people's gazes, and he hid in front of Lu Ze uncomfortably.

Wang Hengyu coughed lightly and signaled to his girlfriend with his eyes: "I'm still here!"

Fang Jing chuckled and whispered, "Hey, don't be so stingy, I'm just curious."

Wang Hengyu naturally knew that his girlfriend had no other intentions, and although he joked that he was unhappy, he didn't really care.

Qi Nian was panting as he held the book in his arms. He was sweating in the cold weather. He was panting with exhaustion: "Hasn't it arrived yet?"

Fang Jing said quickly, "It's almost there, just ahead. I've already notified them to come down and get the books."

They definitely couldn’t enter the girls’ dormitory, so the best they could do was send them downstairs.

Sure enough, when they got downstairs, the girls in the class were already waiting there. When distributing books, they even bought them milk tea to thank them.

Qi Nian was very tired, and didn't think there was anything special about giving her a book. He felt a little embarrassed when he took the milk tea: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. We also want to thank you for helping us deliver the books."

A few people were waiting downstairs for the books to be distributed before leaving. Fang Jing was talking to Wang Hengyu in a sticky voice beside them.

Qi Nian drank milk tea and thought absentmindedly: Is this what falling in love is like?

Seeing him in a trance, Lu Ze teased, "Why? Are you jealous?"

Qi Nian smiled mysteriously: "I have nothing to envy."

Lu Ze: “…” Hiss…why does it feel like something is happening?

After waiting for a while, the last book was taken away. They were about to leave when Fang Jing suddenly waved happily towards a place not far away, and a girl walked over.

Fang Jing nudged Wang Hengyu with her arm and said, "My new friend is a very nice person!"

Wang Hengyu looked at the girl who was walking over, frowning: "Are you friends with her?"

Fang Jing looked at Wang Hengyu in surprise and asked in confusion: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Hengyu hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head: "Nothing."

Qi Nian looked at the girl walking towards him from a distance. Why did he feel like she was looking at Wang Hengyu?
