Chapter 60
Tao Luanxi had just walked out of the subway station when he saw Qiu Yi standing under a street light not far away waiting for him.
This was the second time Tao Luanxi saw Qiu Yi wearing a suit. His muscular body could just hold up the well-cut fabric, but it didn't look awkward. His hair was pushed back with hair gel, revealing a smooth and full forehead. It must be said that Qiu Yi was completely different from the one in school at this moment. His student spirit was completely covered up, but his unrestrained and rebellious nature was still there, making him even more eye-catching.
There were already countless passers-by around who were silently glancing at this handsome young man, but Qiu Yi seemed to be accustomed to this. He silently lowered his head and stared at the mobile phone in his hand, with no expression on his face.
He was waiting for him.
Tao Luanxi raised his chin, held his head high and walked briskly in front of Qiu Yi, proudly and contentedly accepting the looks from passers-by.
"Are you here?"
Qiu Yi turned around and smiled at Tao Luanxi: "It's great to see you."
"Heh," Tao Luanxi sneered, "I have a reason. You are lying to me again."
“This time it’s real.”
This is not a school. Everyone coming and going is a stranger. Qiu Yi reached out and held Tao Luanxi's hand, and they walked slowly on the street where the lights were just coming on.
"I was originally planning to spend this night in boredom, but I didn't expect you to come."
The two of them arrived at the hotel, and at the door was the Qiu family's housekeeper whom Tao Luanxi had met last time.
"Wei Bo."
Tao Luanxi took the initiative to greet them, which surprised Wei Bo: "Master, you didn't say you wanted to invite classmates today..."
"Well, just him, just one more person temporarily."
Wei Bo nodded in understanding and leaned forward to open the door.
Qiu Yi was about to walk inside holding Tao Luanxi's hand, but was pulled back by Tao Luanxi. Tao Luanxi hooked her finger to signal Qiu Yi to lower his head, and whispered in his ear: "I'll wait for you outside. I don't know anyone here. Isn't it inappropriate for me to come in?"
Tao Luanxi looked down at the T-shirt, jeans and sneakers on herself. They didn't fit in with the environment here and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter. Now that you're here, how can I leave you out here alone?"
Qiu Yi held Tao Luanxi's hand, as if to comfort her: "You don't need to know anyone else, just know me."
Tao Luanxi held Qiu Yi's hand tightly, pursed her lips and followed behind him. Qiu Yi seemed to know that Tao Luanxi was nervous, and did not go to the main venue immediately. After entering the door, he went straight to the lounge.
There were two unopened boxes on the table in the middle of the lounge. Qiu Yi handed Tao Luanxi his hand and asked him to sit down first. He walked over and opened the box, with a satisfied smile on his face: "You're quite quick. They delivered it before you even arrived?"
"What?" Tao Luanxi was curious about Qiu Yi's words and went over to see what was in the box.
Qiu Yi moved away, and Tao Luanxi took a look. In the box lay a white suit, complete with shirt collar, cuffs and other items. In another box were matching shoes.
Tao Luanxi was startled, and turned to look at Qiu Yi. As expected, Qiu Yi raised his chin and said, "Try it on and try it on?"
"This..." Tao Luanxi had never expected things to turn out like this. She was completely confused: "I, I, I'm not here to attend your birthday party. Isn't this too--"
"You said you were here to celebrate my birthday, how could you not attend the party?" Qiu Yi put his arm around his waist: "You are the only guest I invited to the whole party, and I only want to invite you, so why don't you come?"
Tao Luanxi pursed her lips, turned her head and stared at Qiu Yi's face, "Do you want me to participate?"
Qiu Yi nodded: "I just hope you will participate."
Tao Luanxi took a long breath, like a sigh but also like making up his mind, and opened the paper holding the suit in the box: "Where is the dressing room?"
Ten minutes later, Tao Luanxi walked out of the locker room while adjusting her collar.
The color white is very flattering, and Tao Luanxi herself is fair-skinned. When the light shines on her, she seems to be shrouded in a faint halo, which is particularly eye-catching.
Qiu Yi leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, staring at Tao Luanxi with his eyes slightly narrowed without blinking.
Tao Luanxi was frightened by his gaze. It was the first time for him to wear such formal clothes. He stood in front of Qiu Yi with his hands stretched out, feeling a little embarrassed. "How is it?"
"Not so good." Qiu Yi stood up, picked up the bow tie in the box and put it on Tao Luanxi.
"Doesn't it look good?" Tao Luanxi was a little disappointed.
"Well," Qiu Yi adjusted his tie and whispered in Tao Luanxi's ear, "It will look better if you take it off."
This old rogue has started again!
Tao Luanxi pinched Qiu Yi's face from behind and said, "You just talk nonsense!"
"I'm serious." Qiu Yi brought Tao Luanxi to the mirror and turned her around. He put his hands on Tao Luanxi's shoulders and looked down at their reflections in the mirror: "This outfit suits you very well."
It really suits them.
With this outfit, Tao Luanxi looks more like a rich young man than Qiu Yi.
"Speaking of which, there is something I'm curious about," Tao Luanxi turned and looked at Qiu Yi: "How do you know what size clothes I wear?"
"Is this difficult?" Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows, Tao Luanxi's face was only two or three centimeters from his thin lips: "We've hugged each other and slept with each other before, if you don't know this, then I'm such an unqualified boyfriend."
Tao Luanxi blushed: "Who slept with you?"
"Oh," Qiu Yi nodded, "I corrected myself. It's just sleeping with a quilt covering you. I've never slept without a quilt before."
Tao Luanxi raised his foot to kick, but Qiu Yi dodged quickly. Taking advantage of Tao Luanxi's unstable lower body, he grabbed his waist and pushed him onto the sofa.
"Young Master, the master's car will be here soon. Are you going out?"
Tao Luanxi was sitting on Qiu Yi when he suddenly heard someone talking outside. His body stiffened and he pressed down on a certain part of Qiu Yi.
Qiu Yi groaned, his hand still tightly locked on Tao Luanxi.
"I'll be out in a minute."
When the footsteps outside faded away, Qiu Yi leaned over to Tao Luanxi's ear and said, "Baby, don't press that place. If you break it, we will all be in trouble."
Tao Luanxi pinched Qiu Yi's face fiercely: "It's better to break it!"
Qiu Mingde walked in, surrounded by a group of secretaries and bodyguards. Most of the guests here were invited by him through invitations. They were all people who had important business dealings with the Qiu family. When they saw Qiu Mingde coming, a group of people came up to greet him. Qiu Mingde smiled and responded, while whispering to Lin Fan: "Where is Qiu Yi?"
"I heard that he has arrived. I guess he is still in the lounge."
"Hurry up and call him over. It's not appropriate for him to be away at his birthday party."
"Grandpa!"
When Qiu Mingde turned around, Qiu Yi was standing behind him, with a handsome boy in a white suit beside him.
"Who is this?"
"My classmate."
"Hello, Grandpa."
Tao Luanxi bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle. Although Qiu Mingde was only eighty years old and his hair was completely white, he still had the majesty of the head of the Qiu family. His aura was enough to scare most people away.
Qiu Mingde did not respond, but glanced at Lin Fan beside him. Lin Fan pushed his glasses and nodded expressionlessly. Qiu Mingde retracted his gaze and then smiled faintly.
"This is the first time Qiu Yi has invited classmates to a party at his home. Last time, I heard from Wei Bo that Qiu Yi brought a classmate home. Is it you?"
"Yes, I disturbed you last time." Tao Luanxi bowed again, surprised that someone like Qiu Mingde would still pay attention to such a small matter. The aura of the old man in front of him did make him a little scared. Tao Luanxi knew very well that Qiu Mingde was not an ordinary elder.
"It's a good thing that Qiu Yi can make some friends in school. This child used to be too withdrawn, and I was always worried that he would have problems. Now that I see that he can make friends normally, I feel much more relieved. Qiu Yi, treat your classmates well."
"yes."
After Qiu Mingde finished speaking, he turned around and a large group of people left.
At this moment, everyone's focus was on Qiu Mingde, and no one noticed that over there, Tao Luanxi, Qiu Yi silently held his hand.
"Your grandpa..." Tao Luanxi didn't know what to say.
"He even scared children to tears. Don't worry." Qiu Yi touched Tao Luanxi's palm soothingly: "You are already fine."
"Want to eat something?"
Tao Luanxi nodded. There were few people in the dining area and it was next to the wall, so he felt more comfortable there.
There were a rich variety of dishes at the banquet. Tao Luanxi swept away his previous depressed mood and picked the best ones based on the face of the little birthday star of the Qiu family beside him. Qiu Yi let him do it and followed behind Tao Luanxi to help him with the things.
After a while, Lin Fan came over and called Qiu Yi away. Qiu Yi was very reluctant, but he still followed him. Before leaving, he gestured to Tao Luanxi - "I will be back soon."
Tao Luanxi nodded to reassure him.
The chef in charge of the cake was very talkative. He knew that Tao Luanxi was Qiu Yi's classmate and was not a very arrogant person. He chatted with him for a long time. Thanks to him, Tao Luanxi didn't feel so bored.
"Speaking of which, who is Miss Qiu? I don't know her." Tao Luanxi started looking for her as soon as he entered the room, but he hasn't found any suspicious person yet.
"He hasn't arrived yet?" The chef said calmly, "He is a famous arrogant man in the Qiu family. He comes and goes freely. I don't know when he will come!"
Tao Luanxi was looking at Qiu Yi in the crowd. Originally, he had a smile on his face as he followed Qiu Mingde, but for some reason his expression suddenly darkened.
Tao Luanxi followed his gaze and saw a charming woman in a black dress and high heels walking towards the center of the venue with a haughty look on her face.
The author has something to say: Psst~

Tao Luanxi lay in bed for two days. He was fine physically, but mostly he was angry.
Qiu Yi was tactful enough not to bother him again, and apart from taking care of his daily life, the two of them basically didn't talk to each other.
"Get up and eat." Qiu Yi opened the door: "I've had some porridge. I made some steamed fish. Do you want to get up and have some?"
Tao Luanxi turned his back to him and pretended not to hear.
Qiu Yi sat down at the head of Tao Luanxi's bed without any hesitation, leaning against the wall and leisurely lighting a cigarette. In the smoke, Qiu Yi sighed softly: "You know what? When I first saw you, I regretted not knowing you earlier. At that time, I thought, screw them and take it slow. I must get you as quickly as possible to make up for the years I missed before."
"I only regret meeting you!"
Tao Luanxi turned around and glared at him hatefully. Qiu Yi was shirtless, his muscular upper body was exposed to the air, and there was a deep tooth mark on his shoulder blade. There was blood and flesh inside the tooth mark, and blood scabs were entangled with the surrounding red and swollen skin. It looked really terrible.
This is Tao Luanxi's masterpiece.
No one got away with it that night. Qiu Yi broke into Tao Luanxi's body regardless of everything. Tao Luanxi raised his head and bit Qiu Yi's shoulder angrily, almost biting off a piece of flesh.
The next day, Qiu Yi stuffed the bloodstained bed sheet into the trash can. He even laughed at himself: "You are fine, but I am the one who got the redness broken."
Tao Luanxi didn't even have the strength to move her fingers at that time. She lay on the bed with a look in her eyes that could almost swallow Qiu Yi alive.
Qiu Yi chuckled and nodded in agreement: "You should regret it. You must be very scared, right?"
Tao Luanxi's face was full of confusion: "Why must it be me?"
"There's no reason." In the smoke, Qiu Yi's angular face was covered with an indescribable coldness and loneliness: "It just has to be you."
Tao Luanxi turned around. Although the sun was shining brightly outside the window, he felt a chill in his heart.
Qiu Yi is a very good pretender, just like Tao Luanxi to some extent. He plays the role of a steady and charming senior in front of others, and is pursued by a group of girls. However, he always likes to hug Tao Luanxi and say to others half-seriously, "I have our Xixi."
Tao Luanxi didn't want that little dirty thing to affect her reputation and studies, so she just gritted her teeth and accompanied Qiu Yizhuang.
Qiu Yi's wound had not been checked. The weather had been getting warmer recently, and the school naturally could not allow students to go to class with their upper bodies naked. After a few days, the wound had become a little festering.
Tao Luanxi stood outside the basketball court, looking indifferently at Qiu Yi sweating on the court. There was a game with another school today, and Tao Luanxi received Qiu Yi's message while he was still in class.
"Remember to come and see."
Last night, Qiu Yi pressed him twice, and Tao Luanxi's waist was still a little sore. But since Qiu Yi had already ordered him to do it, Tao Luanxi gritted his teeth and headed towards the stadium.
Almost all the girls around came for Qiu Yi, and they were chattering about how handsome and charming Qiu Yi was when playing basketball. Tao Luanxi had a wooden face and sneered in his heart.
During the halftime break, the players naturally hugged Qiu Yi's shoulders. Qiu Yi frowned slightly, which was seen by Tao Luanxi.
Tao Luanxi saw the condition of the wound on his shoulder last night. In the shaking vision, the wound looked even more severe. The sweat of the people on his body dripped down his chin onto Tao Luanxi's face. He relaxed himself and indulged Qiu Yi with great malicious intent, hoping that this guy's wound would get worse, or even get infected, and eventually die!
Qiu Yi's condition in the second half was obviously deteriorating. Even people around him noticed that something was wrong with him and they whispered to each other, wondering if he was sick.
It looked like it had an effect last night. Tao Luanxi looked at Qiu Yi's obviously faster breathing and his low spirits, and a feeling of revenge filled his heart.
Qiu Yi did not fall on the court and lose the game as Tao Luanxi expected. Instead, he finished the whole game almost smoothly and won the championship.
Surrounded by a large group of people, Qiu Yi declined the invitation to dinner in the evening. He looked over the layers of people and said to Tao Luanxi, "Wait for me."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qiu Yi put on his bag, walked over to Tao Luanxi with a smile, put his arm around his shoulders, turned around and waved to his teammates: "I'm going back to comfort my wife, you guys have fun!"
The words were said lightly, but only Tao Luanxi herself knew that this guy was now unable to stand steadily, with most of his body pressing on her.
Qiu Yi was very heavy, and Tao Luanxi couldn't walk properly because of his pressure. Tao Luanxi almost stumbled. Tao Luanxi quickly supported Qiu Yi's waist and angrily scolded him, "Can you walk by yourself?"
"Hm?" Qiu Yi's breath was hot, his chest heaving, his eyes full of fatigue: "Why? Does my Xixi dislike me so much? We were so good last night."
Tao Luanxi was too lazy to talk to the sickly boy, so she had to frown and half-carry him back home.
Unexpectedly, just after closing the door, the person who was obviously half-conscious suddenly woke up, grabbed Tao Luanxi's waist and pushed him against the wall, tore open the collar of Tao Luanxi's clothes and bent down to kiss him.
"Qiu Yi!" Tao Luanxi's head hit the wall and his eyes blurred: "What are you doing?"
"I do, don't you?"
"So you were just pretending?"
Qiu Yi raised his head and smiled gently at Tao Luanxi: "What do you think?" After saying that, he lowered his head again.
Tao Luanxi was angry and regretful. He regretted that he didn't just abandon him on the side of the road. He felt a slight pain in his neck. Tao Luanxi was already angry, so he impatiently reached out and pushed him.
With a "thump", Qiu Yi fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
This blow was not heavy. Normally, Qiu Yi could not be moved at all.
Tao Luanxi looked at the person on the ground with disgust, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible to avoid Qiu Yi going crazy again. However, Qiu Yi's face was flushed and his chest was heaving, and Tao Luanxi felt something was wrong.
"Qiu Yi?"
No response.
Tao Luanxi hesitated for a long time, then reached out and touched Qiu Yi's forehead, his skin felt hot.
