Chapter 74
Qu Xing rushed in and heard Ling Yin's leisurely footsteps behind him. He immediately closed his eyes and turned to leave.
Ling Yin grabbed him and chuckled, "Did I put our luggage together?"
Qu Xing didn't dare look at him. He turned his head away and slapped his evil hand away: "No!"
Ling Yin didn't listen: "But they were originally packed together."
Qu Xing turned his head and stared at him, raised his hand, and slowly tapped Ling Yin's chest: "Then separate from me, I want to live separately from you!"
Ling Yin's eyes flashed: "Oh."
Qu Xing quickly withdrew his hand, avoiding Ling Yin's hand that was about to grab him, and turned away.
Ling Yin turned sideways, smiled faintly, and watched his daughter Xingxing leave.
He has a bad temper. No wonder he ran away from home at the age of five.
"Eh?" Zhou Sidao: "Why are you..."
Qu Xing passed by Zhou Si like the wind.
Le Anyi glanced at Ling Yin, gloated at Zhou Si, and whispered, "They had a fight."
Zhou Si was puzzled: "What did you do to provoke him like this?"
Ling Yin said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Si: “…”
"Anyway, be careful." Zhou Si said, "Don't break up with Ren Kui. We are counting on you to tie him to DL forever."
"Don't worry." Ling Yin took the luggage and went to look for a room. Suddenly he turned around and asked, "Are there enough rooms?"
Qi Rui: "That's enough."
Ling Yin: "One room per person?"
"Ah?" Qi Rui was a little confused: "Don't you agree to live in the same room with Xingxing? And I live in the same room with the cameraman."
After a pause, Qi Rui asked cautiously, "You two are arguing so much? Then who else can live in that big room? Will you two separate?"
"No, no need." Ling Yin smiled and turned back: "Where is the room?"
"The suite on the second floor."
—
Zhou Yuxie was hanging out in the lounge area, holding a drink, his eyes flicking back and forth towards the villa where Qu Xing had entered. He felt conflicted.
Should I go in and say hello? Would that be too intrusive?
Or wait for them to come out and pretend to meet by chance?
I need to think of a topic so that I can talk to Qu Xing across the crowd.
"Hello Qu Xing, I'm your fan"
No, no, if I say I'm a fan right away, doesn't that mean I'm closing off the possibility of a relationship? I need to be more equal.
"Hi, Qu Xing, I'm Zhou Si's cousin."
No. This is too weird! Out of all the people, he only specifically greeted Qu Xing?
"Hi, hello everyone, I'm the fourth master's cousin."
Then what?
Then what? ? !
Zhou Yuxie held out the cup in his hand and asked, "Are you interested in a drink?"
“…”
Zhou Yuxie, are you stupid?
"Not interested."
?
Zhou Yuxie was startled and quickly turned his head to look where the sound came from.
A girl held the boy's hand and said, "I'm not interested in looking at it."
Harmful.
Zhou Yuxie thought to himself that he was really insane, imagining a girl's voice as Qu Xing's. He half-turned his head and his eyes suddenly caught that of a young man in a blue shirt.
The boy didn't even glance towards the rest area. He was less than two meters away, striding forward at a brisk pace. As he passed in front of him, a strand of his bangs lifted in the wind, revealing a small part of his forehead, making him look particularly handsome and stylish.
Zhou Yuxie didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he even felt that there was a hint of fragrance left where Qu Xing had walked.
After such a close encounter, Zhou Yuxie was stunned and stood there in a daze. It took him a long while to react.
one person!
God is really helping me!
Humph, it seems that we are destined to be together, and even God has created opportunities for us to be alone.
Zhou Yuxie put the drink in his hand on the table and leaned over to look.
Qu Xing, for some unknown reason, took long strides as he walked down the slope from the villa area. Zhou Yuxie rushed out and followed him at a rapid pace, about five meters behind him.
He was mentally organizing his words, ready to catch up and say hello. But he saw Qu Xing halfway up the slope, as if he had lost his patience, and turned around, holding onto the steps, and jumped down.
!
Zhou Yuxie was startled and stretched his head to look. He saw that the person had landed safely on the ground and was walking towards the beach with his clothes flying.
He quickly chased to the place where Qu Xing jumped and looked down.
“…”
This is a bit high!
He hesitated for a long time, wanting to jump but not daring to. Seeing Qu Xing walking away with long strides, Zhou Yuxie felt anxious. He quickly turned around and continued walking down the slope. As he walked, he started to run.
Qu Xing was coiled on a swing when suddenly a breathless greeting came from above his head.
"Hello, Qu Xing." Zhou Yuxie took a deep breath and sat next to him: "I am Zhou Si's cousin."
"Ah?" Qu Xing turned to look at him and smiled: "Hello."
He has a nice voice. He smiles at me!
"My name is Zhou Yuxie." Zhou Yuxie looked him in the eye and grinned as well. "Yesterday, when I heard you were coming here for vacation, I told the Fourth Master to come over with you guys."
"Oh." Qu Xing didn't listen carefully. He put down his feet and slowly pedaled and swung.
Zhou Yuxie's heart was pounding, and he unconsciously leaned slightly towards Qu Xing. Qu Xing was staring at the sea, not noticing. Zhou Yuxie glanced at him and followed his lead.
Come on. Come up with a topic.
Zhou Yuxie said to himself.
As if responding to his inner voice, Zhou Yuxie suddenly heard Qu Xing curiously ask, "If you are the Fourth Master's cousin, then aren't you also Ling Yin's nephew?"
As Qu Xing spoke, he squinted his eyes slightly at the sea. His tone was natural, without a trace of the alienation he felt when facing a stranger, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Zhou Yuxie was excited.
Isn't this just a match made in heaven? It's destiny!
"In terms of seniority, it is." Zhou Yuxie couldn't stop talking, "But I'm from Zhou Si's father's side, and Ling Yin is from his mother's side. We don't usually interact."
"He's older than me." Zhou Yuxie turned his head to look at Qu Xing and said, "Speaking of Ling Yin—"
Qu Xing looked at him.
Zhou Yuxie grinned: "I saw your CP online."
Qu Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph."
Zhou Yuxie suddenly dug his foot into the sand and stopped swinging. He chewed over his pleasant "hum" several times, automatically interpreting it as him not liking this couple, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He tilted his head to look at Qu Xing, then turned back to deep thought. Just as he was racking his brains to find something to continue the conversation, Qu Xing casually said, "Do you watch the games, too?"
He even took the initiative to talk to me! It seems that he already had some feelings for me after just a few glances. Otherwise, who would take the initiative to talk to someone they just met?
Zhou Yuxie smiled happily: "I'll watch! Although I don't know how to play games."
Qu Xing seemed not to hear, swaying back and forth on the swing, his eyes wandering. Zhou Yuxie noticed that the tip of his ear seemed to be a little red.
What? Is he so shy? He's like that after just a few words. Does he like me? He definitely likes me a little! I didn't expect that the handsome devil could be so innocent.
Zhou Yuxie grinned and looked at him.
Noticing his gaze, Qu Xing finally came back to his senses and glanced casually at his face: "Oh."
Zhou Yuxie was stunned: "What?"
Qu Xing was a little confused.
Did this person just talk to him? It seems to be related to Ling Yin?
Qu Xing's computer was down for half a second, and he quickly integrated the information he had just received. Then he naturally continued the previous topic: "Can you understand it if you don't play the game?"
Zhou Yuxie chuckled and said, "I don't understand."
Qu Xing: "Then what are you looking at?"
Zhou Yuxie thought to himself, "Of course I'm watching you." He smiled in a rather frivolous way, "Just watching the fun."
“…”
Qu Xing casually praised: "Amazing."
Zhou Yuxie's smile became more and more worthless, and he seemed to be floating in the air and forgetting everything else - he praised me for being so great!
“…”
Qu Xing reacted again. This person just said that he was just watching the fun: "..."
It was all Ling Yin's fault! He had been so obsessed with her that he couldn't stop thinking about her. Even though she wasn't right in front of him, she still managed to mess up his thoughts and make him feel uneasy. Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Qu Xing uttered a soft "Ah" and added, "It's indeed quite lively."
"Yeah." Zhou Yuxie glared at him, his eyes narrowed. "All I could understand was a bunch of colorful special effects flashing around like a mess, ten little people walking around, their health bars dropping, and then they won."
Zhou Yuxie gave a thumbs up and said in return: "Great."
Qu Xing now understood what was said. He looked at his cousin in surprise. He had never heard such a description before and laughed out loud, saying, "If that's the case, it wouldn't be that impressive."
Zhou Yuxie quickly followed with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, okay, not great."
Qu Xing said: "We don't throw them randomly, we throw them one by one."
Zhou Yuxie: "But all I saw was the ball being thrown around! I couldn't see anything clearly, and it was just over in a flash."
"That's probably because it was a little fast." Qu Xing smiled at him and shook his head cunningly: "Your dynamic vision is not good."
Zhou Yuxie was so mesmerized by his smile that he didn't know his own name and stared at Qu Xing intently.
"Really?" Zhou Yuxie asked, "Is it really that bad?"
Qu Xing fished out his phone. He automatically skipped Ling Yin's question about his whereabouts and showed Zhou Yuxie something: "Look at how many balls are in this frame."
Zhou Yuxie felt a surge of nervousness. Cautiously yet excitedly, he leaned forward to take a closer look. So close, he could already smell Qu Xing's fragrance. His heartbeat raced, his mind swam. The screen seemed to be filled with countless tiny balls, bouncing around within the frame, leaving afterimages. He stared blankly for a moment, then realized what he was doing.
He squinted his eyes and said, "Four, five, six... Wait, eh? Six... Eight... How am I supposed to count with it moving all the time?" Zhou Yuxie said casually, "About a dozen or so."
Qu Xing was amused by this man, so he took back his phone and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, everyone has their strengths."
This meant his dynamic vision was truly terrible. But Zhou Yuxie paid no attention. He only felt a fleeting itch where Qu Xing had photographed him, so itchy that he couldn't control the corners of his mouth, wishing they could curl up as high as his face could stretch.
"That's right." Zhou Yuxie said with a grin, "I still have many strengths. Don't you know how to skateboard?"
Qu Xing: "You can do it too?"
Zhou Yuxie nodded: "Yes! It's a pity that I didn't bring it today."
Qu Xing said naturally: "I brought it, do you want to play?"
Is he going to take me skateboarding?! He definitely has a thing for me. Oh my god! This is the perfect opportunity to be alone.
I didn't expect that my first time approaching someone I liked would go so smoothly. It seems that we are destined to be together. All we need is an opportunity to meet. We will hit it off immediately, fall in love with each other, and it will last forever!
Zhou Yuxie's eyes lit up: "Let's play. You teach me."
Looking for something to do to get Ling Yin out of his mind, Qu Xing jumped off the swing, stood up and went to get him the skateboard, saying as he walked, "What should I teach you?"
Zhou Yuxie trotted over and followed him. "Teach me those moves. I saw the short video my brother posted."
Qu Xing had a good temper: "Okay, you can fall, right? Don't try to blame me if you break a bone."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Yuxie said, "What I'm best at is wrestling. Don't worry, it's not your fault if you break a bone."
Qu Xing said sincerely, "It can't be broken."
He cares about me!
Zhou Yuxie chuckled: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Qu Xing went to the driver to open the trunk, took out his skateboard and put it on the ground: "Here."
"Let's go that way." Zhou Yuxie pointed to the concrete steps on the other side.
Qu Xing: “Yeah.”
—
Ling Yin packed his belongings in the suite, mixing his and Qu Xing's belongings together. He glanced at his phone. Qu Xing hadn't replied to his message.
It seems that he is really angry.
Ling Yin sighed inwardly.
It’s better not to do anything during this period, just try to coax the person first.
He went to a nearby luxury store and bought a small gift. His WeChat message box was silent. Qu Xinggang had gone out alone, and for a moment he couldn't find him. Ling Yin put the gift bag back in his room on the second floor, planning to coax him in the evening. Let him cool down first.
He opened the patio door, hoping to find the star from up high. The color of the sea matched the color of his star's clothes. Ling Yin scanned the area carefully, looking back and forth several times, but to no avail.
He sighed slightly and gave up searching with his naked eyes. When he looked away, he suddenly saw two people on a few steps not far away.
Qu Xing's blue coat seemed to glow, and it immediately caught my eye. I hadn't expected to find it so close after searching for so long.
Unfortunately, there was an uninvited guest next to us.
He knew that the man was Zhou Si's cousin. His father had secretly heard of him at home and said that his cousin was definitely gay.
He didn't know when they'd met, but he hadn't been paying attention for a moment, and they'd already gotten to know each other so well. They were already riding the same skateboard, apparently the one Qu Xing always used. Qu Xing stepped on the skateboard first, demonstrating, doing a single movement back and forth in slow motion while chattering non-stop.
And this person, who is most likely gay, kept glancing at his daughter Xingxing's face while Qu Xing was demonstrating.
“…”
Ling Yin took a deep breath, looked at him expressionlessly for a moment, and then turned away quietly. As he went downstairs, he ran into Zhou Si, who was about to leave with the evil cameraman.
Zhou Si: "What are you two..."
Ling Yin glanced at him lightly, then quickly walked out, saying, "Take care of your cousin."
Zhou Si was confused: "What?"
—
Zhou Yuxie once again lifted up the skateboard and fell from the air, but he still couldn't get it right. The skateboard tripped his legs and he flew straight out.
Qu Xing reacted quickly, raising his hand to support him before he could even stand. Zhou Yuxie froze in his delicate, beautiful hand. He looked up and met Qu Xing's clear eyes.
His brain suddenly jerked, and he blurted out the words he had originally intended to say after getting to know the person first: "I like you."
“…”
Qu Xing: “?”
In just half a second, countless thoughts flashed through Qu Xing's mind.
This guy is a bit silly. How could he say "I like you" after falling down? What does it mean? It's so strange. We just met a little while ago, why did he say "I like you"? He has known me for a long time. What kind of like? It looks like that kind of like.
Oh, he wasn't playing League of Legends, but he was watching the game. He wasn't watching me, was he? So he approached me on purpose? Right? Why did he just run over to greet me? He had such a strong intention, and I didn't even notice? It's all Ling Yin's fault.
So I just talked so much with this person who likes me and is obviously close to my goal?
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over. Ling Yin can’t know this.
Stay away from this person immediately!
Qu Xing quickly withdrew his hand. Before Zhou Yuxie could even regain his balance, he collapsed. Qu Xing, startled, quickly knelt down to support him.
Anyway, he had said it, so Zhou Yuxie didn't care anymore. He looked at Qu Xing and said, "I want you to be my boyfriend. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
"No!" Qu Xing gritted his teeth: "Stand still!"
Zhou Yuxie stood firm and said, "Why? But I feel like you're not straight."
"I'm definitely not straight." Qu Xing stood up straight and walked around the railing: "I..."
Qu Xing raised his eyes and saw a slender figure.
Zhou Yuxie's eyes lit up: "Then just give me a chance, I will definitely treat you very well."
Qu Xing: “…”
Qu Xing slowly took a step back and looked at An Jing who was walking down the stairs towards him.
Zhou Yuxie was stunned: "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
He turned around to see Ling Yin approaching. His face was expressionless, save for a barely perceptible glint at the corners of his eyes. Qu Xing sensed something was amiss when he saw this expression, and he stepped on his skateboard, half-thinking about running away. But Ling Yin grabbed his hand and forcibly pulled him into his arms.
Ling Yin held the man tightly in his arms to prevent him from running away. He looked at the stunned Zhou Yuxie and said quietly, "He has a boyfriend."
Qu Xing suppressed the urge to strangle Ling Yin and said, "Yes...ah!"
Ling Yin picked up the person with one hand and left.
Qu Xing reached over his shoulder and said, "I'm skateboarding!"
Ling Yin said in a low voice: "It got dirty after being stepped on by someone else. I'll buy you a new one."
Qu Xing was already angry, and after hearing this, he became even angrier. He lowered his head and bit him: "Why do you... Ugh!"
Qu Xing was slapped on the butt by him.
The slap was a bit heavy, causing a numbing pain. Qu Xing's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Ling Yin in disbelief.
Ling Yin hugged him tighter, not looking at him, and quickly walked into the villa.
Zhou Si's mind was full of "keep an eye on your cousin" and he came out full of doubts. He happened to see this young couple with a clearly ailing mood passing by, and then saw his cousin standing there in a daze.
"What are you doing here...why are you crying?!" Zhou Si asked in surprise.
Zhou Yuxie was crying, the love dream he had been dreaming about for so long was shattered. He said sadly: "I'm heartbroken!!"
Zhou Si took a moment to react, then seemed to understand what had just happened, and said in a lost voice: "You like Qu Xing?!"
"That's right!" Zhou Yuxie burst into tears. "I finally had a way to get close to you, but... but... I ended up breaking up on the first day we met!!"
Zhou Si: “…”
He put his hand on Zhou Yuxie's back to comfort her.
Their star is good in every way except that it is too attractive, which is a problem.
Is Ling Yin going to do anything weird?

He is sunny and cheerful, with a gentle personality (though he can get angry if provoked), possesses immense charisma, and is a heartthrob.

A moment of silence for him.
