Chapter 62 Moving
Qi Dongdong stroked the high-quality bed sheets with his hands, staring at the cabbage in front of him without blinking.
Zhou Xiaobaicai forced herself to meet Qi Dongdong's gaze, feeling guilty, knowing him well. Her mind raced as she stubbornly replied, "Oh, I misremembered. It wasn't five minutes, it was probably more than ten. I even went to the restroom. I've been a bit constipated lately, so I squatted a bit longer."
"Oh, are the toilet paper in the drawer stored horizontally or vertically?"
“…I don’t remember.”
"Is this the only memory a top-ranked university student in both the Management and Design departments at University B has?"
Of course, the memory of the top student of B University is more than that. He also remembers that he often used this trick to expose Qi Dongdong's lies in the past.
So, Qi Dongdong must have seen through his lies.
Zhou Yang began to confess: "There was thunder last night."
"So I went to his room and slept on the floor. If you don't believe me, look, there's still some dust on the bed!" Zhou Yang almost applauded his own cleverness. What he said was absolutely right. He did want to sleep on the floor at first, and he put the quilt on the floor, but he couldn't fall asleep lying on the floor, so he had to "climb into bed" on his own initiative.
Qi Dongdong narrowed his nearsighted eyes and finally confirmed that the stain on the quilt was indeed dust. He then became angry again: "He actually let you sleep on the floor. Is he still a man?"
Zhou Yang hurriedly explained to Lin Qiyuan, "No, he told me to sleep on the bed, but I wanted to sleep on the floor."
"Yangyang, do you know what you have become now?"
"Huh? What's that like?"
"It's like a devoted woman constantly making excuses for a jerk who doesn't love her."
Zhou Yang: “…” I’m sorry, scumbag Lin, you have to take the blame for a while.
"No...it's not that serious, right?" Zhou Yang tried to get Lin Qiyuan a last bit of sentence reduction.
"How can it not be serious? You just don't read enough TV dramas or novels! Don't think that just because he's good-looking and says a few sweet words to you, you'll be completely taken advantage of by him. Even if you like this kind of scumbag, you have to take the initiative yourself. Of course, it's best to turn back after making a mistake." Qi Dongdong poked Zhou Yang's head in frustration. "Even though your IQ is higher than mine, you're really not as good as me when it comes to identifying a scumbag."
Zhou Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Qi Dongdong was quite sensible and didn't shout loudly. Even so, when the two of them came out together, especially carrying a suitcase, Lin Qiyuan was still a little panicked.
Qi Dongdong went downstairs, put the suitcase on the ground, and looked up at Lin Qiyuan: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you for the time being. From now on, just live with me."
“…”
Lin Qiyuan had forgotten that Zhou Yang had come here to seek refuge with Qi Dongdong in the first place. Now that Qi's father had softened his stance and Qi Dongdong could get the key back, coupled with Zhou Yang's relationship with him, it made perfect sense for him to move back to his house.
So, starting from today, we're moving out? And what about after that, after Qi Dongdong leaves?
For the first time, Lin Qiyuan felt that there was something he couldn't grasp, and his heart was in turmoil.
These days, he realized that Zhou Yang also had feelings for him. What if Qi Dongdong spread some unhealthy ideas and led him astray?
"There are guest rooms at home, and they have all been cleaned in advance."
A few days ago, when Zhou Yang said Qi Dongdong was coming, Lin Qiyuan asked the housekeeping staff to come and clean the next day.
Zhou Yang said that it was not necessary to bother and that Qi Dongdong should sleep with him. However, Lin Qiyuan felt very jealous and firmly disagreed. He even insisted on getting the best guest room farthest away from Zhou Yang's room on the grounds that Zhou Yang had a bad sleeping posture.
"No, no!" Qi Dongdong raised the handle of the suitcase, put his hand on it, and pretended to be ready to leave at any time. He smiled hypocritically and smugly, "My housekeeping has cleaned it in advance. It's spotless. Even if we share a room, we don't have to sleep on the floor."
“…”What do you mean sleeping on the floor?
"Everyone in my family is in poor health. Sleeping on the floor may make them sick. I can't bear to do that." Qi Dongdong's words became more and more sarcastic.
Zhou Yang blinked guiltily and quickly changed the subject: "Well, it's getting late, let's go back early."
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Qiyuan's puzzled and expectant eyes, then quickly looked away: "I'll move back after Dongdong leaves."
"What? You want to move again..."
Before Qi Dongdong could finish his words, Zhou Yang grabbed the suitcase from his hand and walked out the door first.
Qi Dongdong had no choice but to catch up quickly.
Lin Qiyuan stood there without moving, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
He called Cheng Fei to wake him up, and after receiving a lot of silent complaints, he started to get down to business.
After all, the Dog-Headed Military Advisor is also a military advisor.

Qi Dongdong returned home angrily. He put down his suitcase, put his hands on his hips and asked, "Are you going to live in a room by yourself or with me?"
"Just live by yourself!" Zhou Yang remembered what Lin Qiyuan said about his bad sleeping posture.
"Oh, you still want to keep your virginity for others?"
Zhou Yang: "...then one room."
From childhood to adulthood, Qi Dongdong had always been determined to do something, and Zhou Yang didn't want to argue with him. Even if Lin Qiyuan did become his lover, he would be able to strike a good balance between lover and friend.
After realizing that he had once again thought of this inappropriate assumption, Zhou Yang's neck temperature instantly rose, spreading to his earlobes and entire face.
Zhou Yang shook off his messy thoughts and saw Qi Dongdong carrying his luggage upstairs and coming down again. He asked him, "Where are you spending the New Year this year?"
"City B, right? My mom is buying New Year's goods every day! Oh, by the way, last time you said you wouldn't go home for the New Year, my mom asked you to come back to City B with me and spend the New Year with us. Otherwise, she wouldn't agree to me running around during the New Year!"
From childhood to adulthood, Qi's mother cared about him even more than his biological parents combined.
Zhou Yang felt warm at heart when he heard this, but he still declined: "Not this year. The works need to be submitted before the New Year, and those judges are all workaholics. If I'm lucky, they might be busy right after the New Year. You have so many relatives, it will take half a month to visit them. I can't afford that."
Zhou Yang and Qi Dongdong's family have celebrated the New Year together more than once, and their relatives all treat Zhou Yang as their own child.
The Qi family is a wealthy family, so visiting relatives and socializing after the New Year is essential. If those aunts and uncles knew that Zhou Yang spent the New Year at the Qi family but did not go to their house to pay New Year's greetings, it would be a disaster. At least they would delay it.
In the past few years, Zhou Yang did not return to China. Grandpa Qi, Grandma Qi, and Aunt Qi were always thinking about him and kept asking about him during the New Year’s Eve dinner.
A few months ago, because of the cooperation between Qi Chan and Zhou Hai, Qi's mother found out and has not spoken a word to him until now. Grandpa Qi directly said that he no longer recognizes this son.
It was Qi's father. Although he reached a consensus with Zhou Hai on the surface and felt sorry for Zhou Yang in his heart, he was also a bit conservative. Thinking about his child coming out, he was more inclined to Zhou Hai in this regard.
Later, Qi Chan kept persuading Zhou Hai not to be too extreme.
Zhou Yang also treated everyone in the Qi family as his relatives and would make a video call home every year. The warmth that he did not get from his own parents, Zhou Yang received from the Qi family.
Zhou Yang really likes the lively atmosphere of the Qi family. In the past, he would have followed them back without saying a word, but this year there are indeed too many things to do and he is too busy.
"Okay, I know you're just starting out in your career, so it must be very tiring. My aunts and uncles are probably more difficult to deal with than your clients. Anyway, don't forget to call them on New Year's Day."
"Of course." Zhou Yang nodded. "By the way, where's Mo Huai?"
From childhood to adulthood, no matter whether they were together or not, there was always Mo Huai following Qi Dongdong.
Moreover, Mo Huai would not feel at ease letting Qi Dongdong run so far alone.
When Qi Dongdong mentioned his acquaintance, he showed an unthinking worry on his face: "Why did you mention him?"
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight?" The two of them hadn't quarreled once or twice, or seven or eight times, but every other day. Zhou Yang had gotten used to it.
At first I tried to persuade them, but later I found that they would make up three days after every quarrel, and they were even closer than before. I felt that it was a waste of his feelings, so I simply stopped persuading them.
It's strange to say, Mo Huai, who is a quiet person and rarely says anything, always says something sarcastic when he meets Qi Dongdong. Qi Dongdong is naturally not someone who is willing to be bullied, and the two of them always sulk or quarrel over a trivial matter.
However, Qi Dongdong is a lively person, so he is the one who usually coaxes Mo Huai.
"Humph, if he doesn't apologize to me this time, I will never forgive him!"
"What's so serious?"
Zhou Yang had never seen Qi Dongdong so angry and determined in an argument.
"Yes..." Qi Dongdong was about to blurt out, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Zhou Yang that he was already with Mo Huai, so he had to change his words, "Nothing!"
Zhou Yang knew something was up when he saw the other person's expression, but he was too tired these past few days and was still sleepy at the moment, so he said to Qi Dongdong: "Then I'll go upstairs and take a nap. Call me around ten o'clock. I'll take you to the studio to have a look, and then we'll have dinner together outside."
Qi Dongdong, who was just trying to figure out how to tell Zhou Yang about his relationship with Mo Huai, said, "...What? I don't deserve to eat the food you cook? Only people with the surname Lin can eat it?"
Zhou Yang was helpless: "Okay, okay, let's eat, eat, and buy some groceries on the way back."
Qi Dongdong nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, go to bed."
Zhou Yang set the alarm clock for himself, but there was no need to shout. After sleeping for nearly two hours, he woke up by himself.
The two of them packed up casually and went out.
A flashy black Aston Martin was parked at the door. When the window rolled down, it was Lin Qiyuan.
Qi Dongdong muttered, "If you're so pretentious, why don't you drive a tractor?"
