Chapter 96 Unbelievable

It's another weekend.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well a few nights ago and I have to go to classes during the week and I can’t make up for the sleep, so Qi Nian has been feeling particularly sleepy recently.

After waiting for a long time for the weekend, he finally had a good sleep and bid farewell to the drowsiness completely.

I stretched my body and went downstairs feeling energetic, only to be surprised to find that the house seemed to be exceptionally quiet today.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Qi Nian turned around and found Chu Rongshi coming out of the study.

He smiled, leaned his arm on the railing of the stairs, and looked up at Chu Rong. Because he had just woken up, his voice was still a little lazy: "Brother, where are the uncle and aunt?"

Chu Rongshi looked at him and walked downstairs: "They made an appointment with their friends to go out and relax."

Qi Nian nodded, thinking that it was no wonder that it was so quiet today. He was about to say something when Chu Rongshi suddenly reached out and picked him up like a child.

Qi Nian was startled and cried out in surprise, then he subconsciously hugged Chu Rongshi's neck tightly with his arms. After steadying himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Rongshi with a red face and reproachful eyes.

His brother is really getting more and more... He just came up and hugged him in such an embarrassing posture!

Not afraid of being seen...

Qi Nian's cheeks turned red, his neck and ears as well. He lowered his voice and patted Chu Rongshi, whispering, "Put me down quickly, before anyone sees me!"

As he spoke, he looked around cautiously, like a very frightened little lamb.

Chu Rongshi chuckled, kissed him, and said, "Don't let go."

Everyone thought: "!!!"

Obviously, Qi Nian didn't expect Chu Rongshi to be like this. He widened his eyes in shock: "You, you, you...put me down quickly."

"I won't tease you anymore." Chu Rongshi smiled: "There's no one else at home today."

Qi Nian was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that although the house was big, there were also many servants. He didn't see any of them in such a short while. That could only mean that there was no one else.

Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief because Chu Rongshi was holding him, looking down at him, pointing and saying, "You just scared me on purpose."

Chu Rongshi did not deny it either.

Qi Nian glanced at him and muttered quietly, "It's getting worse and worse."

"What did you say?" Chu Rongshi asked him.

Qi Nian coughed lightly and said seriously, "Nothing."

He patted Chu Rongshi and said, "Although there's no one at home, don't hold me anymore. Put me down."

Chu Rongshi hugged her even tighter and chuckled, "I won't let go."

Qi Nian's face was flushed, and she twisted her fingers together nervously, feeling happy and a little sweet. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should urge Chu Rongshi to let him go.

Fortunately, Chu Rongshi saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so he kissed him adorably, and then finally let him go.

After being put down, Qi Nian still felt a little uncomfortable. He put his hands behind his back and coughed softly: "By the way, where are those people at home?"

Chu Rongshi played with the small curly hair on Qi Nian's head with his fingers: "I gave them a holiday."

Qi Nian thought: Well, it would be nice to have a holiday.

But back on topic, Qi Nian asked Chu Rongshi seriously, "What are we having for breakfast?"

"I'll make breakfast." Chu Rongshi said.

Qi Nian followed him into the kitchen and watched him clean up the kitchenware with a curious look on his face: "Brother, can you cook?"

Chu Rongshi: "Yes, I know a little."

Then he asked Qi Nian, "What do you want to eat?"

Qi Nian didn't know what he was thinking about. He walked around Chu Rongshi with his hands behind his back and smiled wickedly: "Can I order whatever I want to eat?"

Chu Rongshi smiled and said, "Of course."

Qi Nian pretended to look at Chu Rongshi, then said, "I won't make it difficult for you. Just make a simple egg pancake."

It is indeed not difficult. For people who know how to cook, it is very easy to make, but if you don’t know how to cook, it will be a real disaster.

Chu Rongshi didn't look embarrassed at all (Qi Nian had observed this carefully). He said "OK" and took out eggs from the refrigerator, found some flour, and started to mix the batter skillfully.

Qi Nian was watching calmly at first. There was actually a reason why he ordered egg pancakes, because egg pancakes were the dish he was most familiar with making.

He was already prepared to show off his skills when Chu Rongshi showed an embarrassed expression.

However, Qi Nian was soon dumbfounded. Seeing Chu Rongshi mixing the batter, cutting the vegetables, and starting to heat the pan to make pancakes, he finally realized what was going on and showed a shocked expression: "Brother, you actually know how to make pancakes."

Chu Rongshi looked at him with some confusion. He obviously didn't understand why it was just an egg pancake and there was nothing to be so shocked about.

Qi Nian, who was ready to show off his skills, said: "..."

He smiled awkwardly, not wanting to say what he was thinking. He rubbed his hot cheeks and tried to calm down while praising Chu Rongshi: "Brother, how come you know everything? Is there anything you don't know?"

Chu Rongshi said as he poured the batter: "Yes, a lot."

Qi Nian looked at his skilled appearance and expressed doubts. His brother was really omnipotent. Hehe...

Soon the kitchen was filled with the aroma of burnt ovalbums, and Qi Nian was swallowing his saliva furtively beside them.

While waiting anxiously for Chu Rongshi, he cooked several more dishes. Finally, Qi Nian couldn't wait to bring the cakes and dishes to the dining table.

"It's time to eat!" Qi Nian said cheerfully.

Chu Rongshi came out of the kitchen carrying the last two dishes and said with a smile, "Eat."

Qi Nian happily rolled the vegetables with the egg pancake and took a bite. He suddenly felt that Chu Rongshi was almost 2 meters tall and his cooking was so delicious!

"Eat slowly." Chu Rongshi reached out to wipe the sauce from the corner of Qi Nian's mouth and reminded him gently.

Qi Nian noticed his actions and his face turned red again. In order to avoid losing his image as he did just now, he immediately became more polite when eating the cake.

After dinner, I put the cooking utensils into the dishwasher, and breakfast was over.

——

"I'm going back to my room to study." Qi Nian glanced at Chu Rong and said seriously.

"Come to the study, I'm working inside." Chu Rongshi said.

"Ah... won't it affect your work?" Qi Nian was very tempted. After all, the two of them finally had a chance to be alone together. However, he still suppressed his sullen expression and spoke in a pretentious manner.

Chu Rongshi raised his eyes when he heard this and looked at Qi Nian.

The other person's narrow eyes were exceptionally beautiful, the standard almond eyes. Every time Qi Nian saw Chu Rong's eyes, he felt like a comic book had come to reality.

However, being looked at by such eyes was really unbearable, and Qi Nian's heart beat faster.

Chu Rongshi: "I'll wait for you in the study."

Qi Nian was a little stunned, and nodded stupidly: "Oh."

When he returned to the room, he realized belatedly, "No, why should I be so obedient?"

However, Chu Rongshi's appearance just now was really unbearable! Qi Nian touched his throbbing heart and smiled foolishly.

His cheeks were a little sore from laughing, and he quickly rubbed his cheeks with his hands like a little hamster, took out a book and pretended to do something, then held the book in his arms with a serious expression and knocked on the door of Chu Rongshi's study as if he was going to study.

The moment he pushed the door open and saw Chu Rongshi, Qi Nian's expression almost couldn't be suppressed, but fortunately he still held back his silly smile, walked to Chu Rongshi's side, and sat down calmly.

"I want to study." Qi Nian said.

Chu Rongshi said "hmm" and started working.

Qi Nian was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't know what he was dissatisfied about. Anyway, he puffed up his cheeks and read angrily.

However, he still remembered the purpose of his study, and soon calmed down and started reading.

The most challenging thing in college is the ability to learn independently. Qi Nian would teach himself in advance what he had not learned. He would look up information on the Internet and figure it out on his own. For things he could not find, he would just mark them down.

If he didn’t mention something or didn’t understand something at the end of the class, he would wait until after class to ask Lu Ze or the professor.

Unconsciously, a long time passed. Qi Nian wrote down the notes in the book and subconsciously picked up his mobile phone and pressed a button, but the screen was still black.

He forgot to charge it before going to bed last night, and now the battery is exhausted and it shuts down automatically.

He sighed, Chu Rongshi stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My phone is out of battery, but I need to check some information." Qi Nian stood up and planned to take the charging cable so that he could charge it while using it. He saw a place to charge nearby.

Chu Rongshi said without thinking: "Use mine first."

They all thought of the action in unison and instantly felt happy. Chu Rongshi trusted him so much that he directly let him use the other person's phone.

Qi Nian smiled helplessly, then nodded: "Yeah, I'll go charge my phone first."

Then, Qi Nian left his phone in the room to charge, and when he came back, he saw Chu Rongshi had placed the phone next to him.

He coughed lightly, glanced at Chu Rongshi, then took the phone and asked, "What's the password?"

Chu Rongshi reported the password and Qi Nian nodded. While entering the password, he thought: Why does this feel like a certain date?

Before he could think about it, the phone was unlocked. Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, his cheeks slowly turned red, and he turned his head to look at Chu Rongshi.

The latter may have noticed his gaze, turned his head, and showed a bit of doubt in his eyes.

Apparently, he hadn't remembered what was on the screen of his phone.

Qi Nian blushed, pointed at the photo on the phone screen in disbelief, and asked Chu Rongshi: "What is this?"

Chu Rongshi finally remembered the screen saver and said with a smile, "Your photo."

On the phone screen was the selfie that Qi Nian had taken at the top of the mountain that day, which he had sent to Chu Rong and then withdrawn.

Chu Rongshi clearly asked him what he had withdrawn, but he didn't expect that the other party not only saw the photos, but even saved them. The other party even pretended to make him think that his behavior of posting selfies had not been discovered.

Just thinking about it, Qi Nian was suffocated by his own stupid behavior.

His face was red, and he was too embarrassed to look at Chu Rongshi. He said angrily: "Why did you use this photo as your screen saver!"

Chu Rongshi said: "Because it looks good."

Everyone thought: "..."

Because of Chu Rongshi's words, his face instantly turned redder.

Qi Nian's eyes flickered, and his questioning tone weakened. He began to stammer, and finally muttered in a low voice without much momentum: "Even if you think... ahem, you can't use it as a screen saver."

Help! With Qinian's thick skin, he really can't even say the word "good-looking". He is really too narcissistic.

"Why can't it be used?" Chu Rongshi seemed to be simply wondering, "Didn't you send this to me?"

Everyone thought: "..."

He glared at Chu Rongshi without any momentum and couldn't say anything, because... it was really him who sent it to the other party.

Qi Nian: Don’t ask. You will regret it if you ask now.

But this made him look too anxious. He racked his brains for a long time and finally came up with a good idea. He looked at Chu Rong and coughed lightly: "Then send me a selfie of yours. I want to use it as a screen saver too."

Haha! If Chu Rongshi looked embarrassed, he could ask him to put himself in his own shoes and change the screen saver!

Qi Nian looked at Chu Rongshi with full confidence. As expected, Chu Rongshi seemed a little hesitant. He immediately seized the opportunity and wanted to say what he had prepared.

Who knew, before he could say anything, Chu Rongshi said, "Okay."

The smile on Qi Nian's face froze instantly, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

No, why did you agree to it? Qi Nian complained while looking at Chu Rongshi depressedly. He picked up his phone, took a photo and sent it to him.

Chu Rongshi smiled and said, "Remember to set it as your screen saver."

Qi Nian: "..." Why does it feel like he's been tricked? It feels like the punishment is actually a reward.

"Let's talk about it later. I want to continue studying. Don't disturb me." Qi Nian reluctantly took back Chu Rongshi's phone and used studying to escape the embarrassment at the moment.

Fortunately, Chu Rongshi knew when to stop and stopped teasing him.

In the evening, Qi Nian hesitantly opened the selfie of Chu Rongshi saved in the album, and then fell into despair.

Obviously, these are just casual photos, but they look like exquisite posters. His face is so resistant to being beaten, so handsome!

Qi Nian rolled around on the bed holding his phone. Finally, he let out a breath, long-pressed the photo, and chose - Set as screen saver.

After doing all this, he immediately threw his cell phone aside, as if he was guilty of something he had done, and pulled up the quilt to cover himself.

A man was embarrassed for a while, then he thought of something and puffed up his cheeks in frustration. Why did he listen to Chu Rongshi so much? Did he have to set it as a screen saver just because the other party asked him to?

Well...it seems like he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​setting a screen saver_(:з」∠)_

Qi Nian silently retracted his hand that was about to reach out for the phone. In this case...it's better not to change it. It's quite troublesome to keep changing it.

Well, that's it! Qi Nian kept making excuses for himself, then closed his eyes and went to sleep!

——

That day, Liu Yu said he wanted to send something to his friend's younger brother.

"Your friend's younger brother?" Qi Nian looked at Liu Yu in confusion. He had never heard the other party mention that his friend's younger brother was studying at A University. This was the first time he heard of it.

"Oh, I haven't told you before. That friend of mine is my childhood friend, but she is not in A University. Instead, her younger brother is a freshman now. He asked me to take care of him, but A University is so big that the chances of meeting him are rare." Liu Yu explained to Qi Nian.

Liu Yu added: "I went back home this weekend, but my childhood friend's brother didn't come home, so his sister asked me to bring him something."

Qi Nian nodded. Lu Ze went back to his work. He had nothing to do, so he simply accompanied Liu Yu to deliver the things.

It just so happened that Liu Yu’s childhood friend’s younger brother had just finished class, and he said that the school was at the Qihang Building, not far from here.

The two walked to the Qihang Building, and Qi Nian tried hard to help Liu Yu find someone.

"I found it, it's the one." Liu Yu pointed at a boy wearing a headband not far away and said. She touched her chin and watched the boy talking to another girl in front of him. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Is Huang Chenming in love?"

Qi Nian also looked curiously at the two people not far away. He had good eyesight and saw at a glance that the girl opposite Huang Chenming had an impatient look on her face and seemed not to want to pay attention to Huang Chenming.

Qi Nian: "It doesn't feel like a love relationship."

As they were talking, the girl turned and walked away. Liu Yu snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "Why don't you just go over and ask?"

"Ah? Not so good?" Qi Nian caught up with Liu Yu.

Liu Yu chuckled: "What are you afraid of? I watched this kid grow up, and I'm his sister. Ask him what's wrong?"

Qi Nian: Okay.

Liu Yu seemed to have a very good relationship with Huang Chenming. She walked over and patted Huang Chenming on the shoulder, grinning with a gossipy look on her face: "Hey, who was that just now? Your girlfriend?"

Huang Chenming actually showed a shy smile, which made Liu Yulei feel uncomfortable. He felt like an acquaintance was acting coquettishly. He grinned and rubbed his arms in disgust: "Hey, don't show that expression, okay?"

Huang Chenming was probably a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "Don't be too curious."

Liu Yu continued to be curious: "So she is really your girlfriend?"

Huang Chenming: “…No.”

Liu Yu immediately lost half of her interest when she heard this, but Huang Chenming refused to admit defeat and immediately said, "I will definitely try my best to pursue her. She is simply my white moonlight."

"But I didn't seem to want to pay attention to you just now." Liu Yu complained without giving any face.

Huang Chenming said impatiently: "Oh, you don't understand, this is her personality, not just me, she is not polite to all boys, okay."

Qi Nian was puzzled when he heard this: Uh, but what does this have to do with her not wanting to pay attention to you?

According to Huang Chenming, the girl was Ye Xitang, the most popular girl in their department. She was known for her aloofness. There were countless men pursuing her, but she never accepted anyone's pursuit.

Huang Chenming is a person who is good at comforting himself. Although Ye Xitang doesn't pay much attention to her, she also ignores others. This shows that he still has a chance!

After hearing what he said, Qi Nian and Liu Yu looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Liu Yu handed the things he brought to Huang Chenming, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Good luck to you."

After leaving with Qi Nian and making sure Huang Chenming couldn't hear her, Liu Yu immediately laughed out loud, typing quickly as she laughed: "Hahaha, I have to tell Le Qing about this, it's so funny!"

Huang Leqing was very happy after hearing what his brother said, and said that he would definitely take time out in the next two days to come to school to see his brother having fun!

After listening to this, Qi Nian felt that they were truly siblings.

Huang Leqing kept her word and came to school two days later. After making fun of her brother, she ignored Huang Chenming's sad look and ran over to share with Liu Yu.

Qi Nian was there too, and saw Huang Leqing slapping his hands on the table, laughing so hard he was rolling on the floor. "What a coincidence that I went there, I happened to see my brother talking to that girl again, and guess what? I heard my Ye Xitang say, "Huang Chenming, do you have a problem with your ears? Stay away from me from now on!" Hahahaha, I really laughed my ass off."

Huang Leqing would not feel sorry for Huang Chenming just because he was her brother. She was too rude to keep pestering him even though he had clearly refused her. She deserved to be scolded.

Qi Nian was listening happily at the side and was trying to hold back his laughter, but when he saw Huang Leqing laughing so wildly, he couldn't help laughing either.

After a while, Huang Leqing exclaimed again, as if he had discovered something new: "Haha, Huang Chenming posted on WeChat Moments again, you guys should check out what he posted."

Qi Nian went to see secretly.

——In one’s life, one must feel moved once, only then will one know the feeling of wanting something but not getting it.

Qi Nian tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Huang Leqing had already gone to tease her brother in a mean way.

【Huang Lexi】：The feeling of wanting something but not getting it～

【Huang Chenming】: Get out!

As they were talking, Qi Nian noticed a familiar figure. He covered his mouth and whispered, "I saw Ye Xitang. She seems to be here."

"Ah? Is this true?" Huang Leqing immediately turned around to look, and Ye Xitang stopped just a few steps away from her.

Ye Xitang had a very cold look, with long straight hair. She put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at Huang Leqing, smiling politely, "Hello, sister."

Huang Lexing, who was originally carefree, suddenly didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and smiled dryly: "Hello."

Liu Yu whispered excitedly to Qi Nian: "She is so beautiful! Hiss... Huang Chenming is not worthy of her."

Qi Nian nodded in agreement.

Ye Xitang seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm really sorry for what I said to your brother before. Are you not angry?"

Huang Lexi quickly waved his hands: "No, no, that brat deserves it, just ignore him."

Ye Xitang smiled lightly: "I'm glad my sister isn't angry."

Before she could say anything else, Huang Lexing's cell phone rang. She had something urgent to do at school, so she had to leave in a hurry.

After she left, Ye Xitang smiled politely at Liu Yu and Qi Nian and said, "Then I'll go first."

Liu Yu and Qi Nian nodded. Liu Yu looked at her from behind and said with emotion, "What a polite girl. Huang Chenming is really not worthy of her."

——

Liu Yu originally thought that Huang Chenming would be depressed for a while, but who knew that he would come to see her specifically that day with a very high-spirited expression on his face.

Seeing that his head was about to rise to the sky, Liu Yu said speechlessly: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Tsk, I'm in a good mood now, so I don't want to bother with you." Huang Chenming looked generous, and before Liu Yu asked, he couldn't wait to share his joy: "I think Ye Xitang must be interested in me!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu looked at Huang Chenming in disbelief. My goodness, why didn’t she realize that Huang Chenming was an ordinary man before?

Huang Chenming saw that she didn't believe him, but he didn't get angry. He happily shared his recent experience with Liu Yu: "You still don't believe me, do I have to lie to you? You know, I had given up on pursuing her, but guess what, she actually took the initiative to find me, added me on WeChat, and often chats with me!"

Afraid that Liu Yu would not believe it, Huang Chenming showed Liu Yu the chat records.

Facts have proved that Huang Chenming did not lie, and Ye Xitong really did chat with him often!

Liu Yu: Unbelievable!

Liu Yu couldn't keep the secret secret, and soon Qi Nian also heard about it and was equally unbelievable.

After all, Ye Xitong had always been very rude to Huang Chenming before, so why did his attitude change so quickly?

Uh...I can’t figure it out.
