Chapter 59
Qiu Yi started skipping classes again these two days, but this time he took the initiative to ask Tao Luanxi for leave - [Grandpa has something to do, so he is not available to come to school these two days. ]
Tao Luanxi was very satisfied with the idea of writing a note for leave, and waved his hand to reply to Qiu Yi: "Approved. When you come back, remember to ask Teacher Tao to cancel your leave."
Tao Luanxi was happy. Shen Tan stared at Qiu Yi's empty seat, his eyes almost burning a hole in the table.
"That little bastard didn't even ask for leave!" Shen Tan retracted his gaze and complained in a low voice while flipping through the textbooks.
Tao Luanxi was sitting close by and heard everything clearly. She whispered to Qiu Yi in her heart, "He did write it and just sent it to me."
Tao Luanxi had a rare chance to have some free time on weekends. Qiu Yi was probably very busy and took half a day to reply to a message. It just so happened that Shen Tan wanted to find a few students to come to school to help organize the weekly test report cards on the weekend, so Tao Luanxi volunteered to go.
The school was unusually quiet on the weekend, and there were still many people playing ball on the court. Tao Luanxi took a look at them and found that none of them played as well as Qiu Yi, and none of them looked as handsome as Qiu Yi!
Although Shen Tan is very strict with his students, he is definitely not the kind of teacher who would put on airs with them. He is very easy to talk to in private, and because he is young, there are always students willing to chat with him.
After sorting out the things, Shen Tan created a group for a few people and generously gave them a red envelope of 200 yuan: "Here's your reward for your hard work. Eat more tonight."
Several students received the gift with a smile. One attentive girl noticed that Shen Tan was wearing a dark blue suit and tie today, so she teased him, "Teacher, you are dressed so handsomely today, are you going on a blind date?"
"Where?" Shen Tan brushed his hair impatiently. "There are a lot of rules at home. I just happened to go to my relatives' house to celebrate today. I prepared this for the birthday party."
Birthday? Tao Luanxi's heart skipped a beat.
"Wow!" Several people exclaimed in unison.
Shen Tan has always kept a low profile at school, and not many people know his family background.
"Is your family very rich? You're not one of those legendary rich second-generations who don't pursue their dreams and want to go home and accumulate millions of dollars, right?"
"I told you to read less novels. What are you thinking about all day long?"
The kids chatted for a while, and Shen Tan waved his hand and said, "Okay, go home quickly, be safe on the road, and send me a message in the group when you get home."
After everyone had left, Shen Tan lowered his head to tidy up the things on the table. When he looked up and was about to leave, Tao Luanxi was still there.
"What else?"
"Teacher, I have something I want to ask you," Tao Luanxi pursed her lips, "When you say relatives, do you mean the Qiu family?"
Tao Luanxi just secretly took out his cell phone and took a look. Today was May 13th.
Shen Tan looked at him: "Do you care?"
Tao Luanxi remained silent.
Shen Tan smiled and said, "Although I haven't had much time to communicate with you, I can sense that your relationship has improved recently."
Tao Luanxi clenched his fists, his palms were slightly sweaty, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Tan.
"Isn't this a good idea?"
"Okay," Shen Tan raised his eyebrows: "It is essentially a good thing for two good students to communicate more, although Qiu Yi is not a good student in the traditional sense." Speaking of Qiu Yi, Shen Tan couldn't help but snorted again.
"I know you are smart and you can handle the communication between classmates properly. What do you think?"
Shen Tan's vision was so sharp that it seemed as if he could see through Tao Luanxi's thoughts directly.
Tao Luanxi's heart swelled. He really wanted to tell the truth, but now, he couldn't say it.
"Teacher, I will take care of this matter. Please give me some time."
Shen Tan stared at Tao Luanxi for more than ten seconds, nodded casually, and said meaningfully: "I believe you."
When Tao Luanxi turned around to leave, Shen Tan added: "Today is Qiu Yi's birthday, but it's not just Qiu Yi's birthday."
After passing the school gate, Tao Luanxi walked slowly towards the subway station, holding his cell phone in his hand. On the screen was a chat box with Qiu Yi, but after looking at it for a long time, the cursor kept flashing in the send column. Tao Luanxi looked at it for a long time, not knowing what to send.
When I was about to give up, Qiu Yixian sent me a message.
【What are you doing? 】
[Something happened at school, I just came out.]
[On duty? ]
[No, I'm helping Teacher Shen.]
Qiu Yi made an impatient expression [This person is really annoying. ]
[It doesn't matter. There's not much to do. It will be done in a short while. Teacher Shen was in a hurry to attend the birthday party and didn't stay long.]
Tao Luanxi sent this message naturally, and the other party fell silent instantly.
Qiu Yi was probably still in surprise at this moment, and thought he would take a while to digest it. Tao Luanxi was not in a hurry either, and went downstairs and waited for the bus in front of the platform.
Soon the WeChat notification sounded, it was Qiu Yi's call.
Tao Luanxi picked up the phone. The voice on the other end was very urgent. As soon as the arc was connected, he said, "You know?"
"I asked Mr. Shen, and he told me."
There was a sigh of dejection from the other end: "Have I apologized to you too many times recently?"
"A little bit," Tao Luanxi watched the subway approaching and the door opening in front of him, but he was in no hurry to go in.
"So are you still okay with listening? Do you find it annoying?"
“It’s quite annoying.”
“…”
There was an awkward silence in the receiver. This was the first time that Qiu Yi was speechless in front of Tao Luanxi.
The people behind were crowding to get on the bus. Tao Luanxi stepped aside and made room for them: "Don't you have anything else to say besides an apology?"
The other person was still acting silly, Tao Luanxi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and imitated Qiu Yi's voice and said: "Say you like me."
"I like you."
"How much?"
"I like it more than you like getting first place in the exam."
"That's definitely not the case," Tao Luanxi denied, "I've loved getting first place in the exam for more than ten years, how long have you been doing it?"
Tao Luanxi looked at the sign in the subway and walked to another platform.
"Then how about I try to love you for ten years?"
Tao Luanxi snorted: "You don't even want to tell me your birthday, I don't believe it!"
He became mute again, probably because he felt that what he said was not appropriate.
"Are you at Qiu's house now?"
"No, it's a place booked at the Likang Hotel."
"Is your mother here too?"
Qiu Yi paused: "You know this too?"
"Teacher Shen told me that today is also your mother's birthday. Is that why you avoid celebrating your birthday?"
Qiu Yi's tone turned cold, and after a long while he managed to utter, "That guy is so talkative!"
"If it wasn't him, I wouldn't know you lied to me again! What are you dissatisfied about?" Tao Luanxi ignored the passers-by around him, put his hands on his hips and lectured the person on the other end of the microphone.
"Please pick me up at the hotel entrance in half an hour!"
"What?"
Tao Luanxi smiled: "What else can I do? Celebrate your birthday!"
The author has something to say: It has been hot these past two days and I haven't had enough rest. I ran for more than half an hour in the afternoon and my head hurts like it's splitting. I'll just update this much for now! It's really hot recently [Stand

When Tao Luanxi came back, he ran into Qiu Yi head-on.
"Are you back?" At the bar at home, Qiu Yi was sitting on a high chair with his long legs crossed and a glass of wine in his hand. It was obvious that he was prepared to ambush Tao Luanxi here.
Tao Luanxi has lived here for almost two weeks, trying to keep herself as busy as possible to reduce the time she has in direct contact with Qiu Yi.
That day, Tao Luanxi was extremely angry and punched Qiu Yi with all his strength, causing him to bleed. Qiu Yi wiped the wound with his thumb, his fingertips stained with blood and his eyes were full of ruthlessness, but he could still smile and say to Tao Luanxi, "Go back!"
Tao Luanxi's heart was pounding and he almost ran away. If possible, he really didn't want to meet this person again, but he knew in his heart that this was almost impossible.
Sure enough, a few days later, the dormitory building where he lived had to be temporarily repaired due to aging equipment, and all students had to move to other dormitories. When the number of students was counted, Tao Luanxi was "missed". Tao Luanxi strongly suspected that someone was interfering, and he was very angry, but at the same time he was surprised at Qiu Yi's social energy.
A few days later, the instigator Youyou appeared in front of Tao Luanxi and generously admitted that he was the one who did it. So, the two of them fought again. Tao Luanxi was still the one who beat people unilaterally, and Qiu Yi was smiling from beginning to end.
"Don't even think about renting a house. Believe it or not, no one will rent a house to you."
Qiu Yi was right. No one dared to rent the room. Tao Luanxi and her previous roommates squeezed together for two days. Qiu Yi packed her luggage in front of the whole dormitory. He took Tao Luanxi's hand and said, "Thank you for the trouble these two days. Tao Luanxi will live with me from now on!"
Tao Luanxi had no choice but to stay at Qiu Yi's place. Qiu Yi's intentions were obvious, and Tao Luanxi could not refuse, so she had to play dumb and avoid him everywhere. But now, Qiu Yi had run out of patience and was not going to wait any longer.
"I'm going to have dinner with a few students in the evening. I'll wait for you to go together."
"I don't know your colleague."
"It doesn't matter," Qiu Yi just smiled: "We will know each other after meeting once."
: "No."
Qiu Yi held the wine glass, and tapped the rim with his index finger. Amid the rhythmic tinkling of the glass, Qiu Yi spoke softly, "Xixi, I only care about the results and not the methods. I think you should go. What do you think?"
Tao Luanxi clenched his fists. Qiu Yi had never fought with him so far, but just by looking at his physique, it was not difficult to guess who would win and lose if they really started fighting. Tao Luanxi gritted his teeth, thinking that it was just a dinner party and there was no need to offend him for such a thing. After a full minute of silence, Tao Luanxi nodded with a stiff neck.
There weren't many people at night, and they were all people who had a good relationship with Qiu Yi. Tao Luanxi didn't know him anyway, and he was in a bad mood, so he just ate in silence. The waiter brought the wine, and a few people knew that Qiu Yi looked up to Tao Luanxi very much, so they all held up their glasses to greet him. The things that happened recently really made him too depressed. Tao Luanxi accepted all the drinks and drank a whole glass at a time.
Qiu Yi pointed at his chin and watched without saying anything to stop them. When Tao Luanxi's cheeks turned red and her eyes became wandering, Qiu Yi stood up and said, "It's almost time to go home. Tao Luanxi has classes tomorrow."
It was already dark when they returned home. Tao Luanxi walked unsteadily, so Qiu Yi supported him all the way. He felt dizzy and weak after drinking, and he was not aware of the hand on his waist at all.
After returning home, Qiu Yi helped Tao Luanxi back to the room, patiently took off Tao Luanxi's coat, wiped her face, and heated a cup of milk and coaxed Tao Luanxi to drink it.
The milk left a circle of stains on Tao Luanxi's lips. Qiu Yi put her back on the mattress, stared at her for a long time, and called out softly, "Tao Luanxi."
No one responded.
Qiu Yi smiled, lowered his head and kissed her.
A strange breath suddenly invaded Tao Luanxi, and she was about to jump up, but Qiu Yi held her hands up over her head. Tao Luanxi was not that drunk, she just didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Let me go, asshole!"
Qiu Yi smiled and said, "It's been two weeks. Isn't the time I gave you enough?"
Tao Luanxi panted heavily: "I'm not gay! Don't touch me!"
"Tsk!" Qiu Yi pressed a finger on Tao Luanxi's lips: "Whether it is true or not, we won't know until we try it."
"You dare!"
Qiu Yi's smile deepened. There was nothing he dared not do.
Tao Luanxi was ready to fight to the end tonight. His chest rose and fell violently, and he watched with red eyes as Qiu Yi slowly bent down, opened the collar of his shirt, and sprayed his hot breath on his skin——
