Chapter 79
"It's not that I can't remember." Qu Xing felt distressed when he saw Ling Yin like this, and quickly explained: "It's just that if you don't think about it deliberately, many things will just be there."
Ling Yin had been frightened so much that day that he could hardly breathe a sigh of relief. He just looked at Qu Xing quietly.
Qu Xing pulled him along the dark beach and said, "I seem to be able to only remember the present moment, like right now, you and I walking on the beach at two... one in the morning. I can't remember anything beyond my sight, or anything that happened outside of the recent period."
Ling Yin asked: "Why is this happening?"
"I don't know." Qu Xing said, "Maybe I'm too lazy to think about it. I feel so tired."
Ling Yin chuckled and said, "You live like a little animal."
"Is life so tiring for little animals?"
Ling Yin stopped, faced Qu Xing, and asked seriously, "Are you tired, Xingxing?"
Qu Xing looked at Ling Yin quietly.
The faint moonlight cast a veil between the two of them, and Qu Xing's attention was all on Ling Yin's gentle face - his eyes were filled with worry that had never dissipated.
Ling Yin repeated softly, "Are you tired?"
Qu Xing thought about it carefully and shook his head: "I don't know."
Qu Xing: "I can't feel it, just treat what I just said as nonsense."
Ling Yin frowned and pulled the person closer: "Why can't you feel it? Have you been tired before?"
If Qu Xing answered "yes", he would really have to persuade people to see a psychiatrist. If so, then could it be possible that all the happiness he had shown before was fake?
Qu Xing stood on tiptoe and kissed him, "Don't worry, brother. I'm standing here fine. I'm what I am. I'm not pretending. Don't be afraid. I'm just a little tired now."
Ling Yin closed her eyes and leaned slightly towards him.
"Of course I'm scared, Xingxing." Ling Yin rubbed his forehead and said, "Whenever you cry, I feel like the whole world owes you an apology."
"Pfft." Qu Xing laughed: "Domineering CEO?"
Ling Yin also laughed: "It's no use being overbearing. I can't order you to be happy."
"It's not that I'm unhappy." Qu Xing turned towards the sea and leaned against him. "I don't know what it is, I just don't want to think about anything. Even thinking about it makes me tired."
After a pause, Qu Xing said, "So don't ask me, I really can't remember anything."
"It will be fine tomorrow." Qu Xing stared at the undulating sea surface. The waves were rolling over with the sea surface. They were obviously the same waves as before. He suddenly felt that these waves seemed to be able to eat people, and were coming to swallow him up with the deep darkness.
“…”
He unconsciously tightened his grip on Ling Yin's hand, "Don't worry."
The next morning, Ling Yin was awakened by a slight rustling noise on his body.
He opened his eyes and saw Qu Xing holding a bottle of ointment and applying it to his neck.
Ling Yin: “?”
Qu Xing knew that he hadn't slept well yesterday because he was worried and accompanied him to watch the sea in the middle of the night, so he said, "You go to sleep. You have a flight this afternoon."
"What are you doing?" Ling Yin looked at him.
Qu Xing: "Didn't you take a shower last night? I applied it in advance."
Ling Yin: "What?"
"I borrowed it from a girl next door." Qu Xing said, "Concealer."
"..." Ling Yin closed his eyes, not forgetting to feel jealous before going to sleep: "You are hooking up with people everywhere again...hiss——"
Qu Xing slapped him hard and said, "Be careful, don't rub it off." Then he jumped off the bed and returned the concealer.
Zhou Si woke up early. He had hardly seen Qu Xingren in the past few days. Seeing him come down full of energy, he asked curiously, "Where are you going? Why aren't you with Ling Yin again?"
"He's sleeping." Qu Xing jumped down the last two steps: "Ling Yin and I will leave this afternoon, you guys can have fun."
Zhou Si: "? Where to?"
Qu Xing had already strode to the door and said in a loud voice, "Go back to my house."
Zhou Si: “…” These two guys didn’t follow the main force.
Qu Xing almost got his life in danger while trying to conceal his flaws.
The four girls in the villa next door probably didn't follow League of Legends and didn't know Qu Xing. They just thought he was good-looking and had a good temper, so they took the concealer and wanted to tease him.
"Leaving now?"
"Brother, stay and play with us?"
"Yeah." A girl looked at Qu Xing slyly as he quickly retracted his hand and stepped back, then laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, we're just playing together and making friends."
Qu Xing smiled at them and said, "No need. My boyfriend will be jealous."
The four girls fell silent, then laughed even more happily. They turned to Qu Xing's back and said, "I wish you and your boyfriend a happy marriage."
Qu Xing smiled and said, "Thank you!"
"Have a baby soon!"
Qu Xing: “…”
What's the point of wishing you a baby soon? It's so embarrassing.
Qu Xing rushed back to the room with a red face, threw herself on Ling Yin, pressed him hard and kissed him several times. Ling Yin then pulled her into his arms.
—
Yu Dun woke up, looked at the message sent by Qu Xing nervously, and ran to find his mother.
"Mom!" Yu Dun showed her the message: "He forgave me?"
"..." Meng Hui: "He's with that handsome guy in their team?"
Yu Dun: "...Yeah."
When Qu Xing and Ling Yin returned home, Meng Hui and her son had already used the code to open the door and went in. Qu Xing knew it as soon as he saw the shoes at the entrance, and suddenly he became a little nervous. He grabbed Ling Yin and hid behind him guiltily.
"Why are you hiding? I can see you!" Yu Dun yelled, then rushed over, nodded to Ling Yin, and called out "Wind God." Then he pulled Qu Xing, whose eyes were flashing, out from behind him and hugged him tightly.
Qu Xing was a little confused.
"I'm sorry, Xingxing." Yu Dun rubbed him hard: "I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."
After saying that, Yu Dun didn't wait for anyone to speak, and turned to Ling Yin, "Welcome Fengshen, let's go, we have prepared dinner."
When Meng Hui saw Qu Xing, she also picked him up and rubbed him. The mother and son rubbed Qu Xing into a mess. Qu Xing was too nervous to care about it. He left the group and ran into the bathroom to fix his hair.
Ling Yin was pulled to sit down. Meng Hui looked at him with a motherly look on her face and said with a smile, "I said you two were a good match at the time. I didn't expect you to really be together."
Ling Yin smiled.
"Oh~" Meng Hui laughed happily: "How come you are so beautiful? No wonder Xingxing loves you so much."
Yu Dun was speechless: "Where did you get the idea of dying to see the stars?"
Meng Hui: "I can guess it."
Ling Yin laughed: "Indeed."
Yu Dun was shocked. He couldn't believe what the first words he heard from the Wind God were. He turned his head and looked at Ling Yin: "What did you say?"
Ling Yin glanced at him and changed his words: "No, it's me who's deciding whether to live or die."
Qu Xing came out after combing his hair, and he had returned to normal. He sat down next to Ling Yin and rubbed his thigh. "What's the matter with you?"
Yu Dun was not happy to hear these corny words and waved his hand: "Skip it! Let's talk about something else."
"So, when did you two get together?" Yu Dun wondered. "Qu Xing told me during Chinese New Year that he wanted to pursue you, and now you're a sweetheart?"
Qu Xing: "During the Chinese New Year."
Yu Dun looked at him suddenly: "..."
He lost control of himself and stood up with a loud "Fuck!"
"Hey." Meng Hui slapped her son's thigh hard. Yu Dun looked down at his mother and realized that his mother told him not to lose his temper no matter what.
He turned his head and saw Qu Xing already uneasily biting his chopsticks and looking at him. Knowing he was in the wrong, he said weakly, "Don't be angry..."
“…”
"It's okay, I'm not angry." Yu Dun was almost in pain. He sat down slowly - even though Qu Xing was so submissive now, he dared to swear that if he said a few more words, dared to mention anything about the incident with his grandmother, all their conversations today would end there.
Qu Xing would lock himself in a room and starve to death unless they left the house.
"It's okay, it's okay." Yu Dun poured some water for the two of them attentively: "It's fine."
He squeezed out through gritted teeth: "You two have a really good relationship. You've been dating for several months."
Ling Yin rubbed Qu Xing's hand under the table, smiled and said "hmm".
Meng Hui raised her glass: "Oh, in that case, Xiaoyin is our family. Let's take care of each other in the future. Yu Dun's father is busy and has no time, so I'll offer him this glass of water."
Ling Yin smiled and raised his glass to clink with the others.
"Oh, by the way, Qu Xing, I remember you have a copy of The Big Short at home." Yu Dun put down his cup and said, "Please take it out and show it to me later. I'm too lazy to buy it."
Qu Xing: "I don't know, go and see for yourself."
Yu Dun: "Isn't your study locked?"
Qu Xing looked at him: "Really?"
"Yeah!" Yu Dun glared at him, "I don't know what little secret it is that doesn't allow anyone else in, but you are the only one who can enter."
Ling Yin remembered that Qu Xing told him that the thing about Cun Ziying was found in the study.
"Oh, yes, it's locked." Qu Xing suddenly realized, then asked in confusion, "When did I go in?"
Yu Dun: “?”
Ling Yin: “???”
