Lin Qiong: !!!
Looking at the person's face, Lin Qiong blushed, "It's not what you think!"
Ji Yao: What do you mean?
Lin Qiong: "We just went in to chat."
Ji Yao glanced at them and asked, "Why are you two taking off your clothes while chatting?"
Lin Qiong blushed instantly, her mouth stammering, "Let me explain."
Ji Yao covered his ears and shook his head frantically, "No! No! No!"
"..."
Seeing Lin Qiong's face turn red from being teased, Ji Yao finally stopped, satisfied. "Alright, I was just kidding."
"Let's go, gather some dry branches to start a fire."
Lin Qiong's embarrassment subsided slightly. "Where are we going to find it?"
Ji Yao pointed to the distance and said, "The back mountain or the woods are both fine. Which one should we go to first?"
Li Hanyang stroked his chin. "Let's go to the back mountain first. It's no fun wandering around in the woods all this way."
"Okay, let's go to the back mountain first."
Lin Qiong glanced at it and estimated that it would take quite a while to get there. "Could you wait for me?"
Ji Yao looked at him suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Qiong ran back to the tent in a daze and poked her head inside. "Xingyun, I'm going to collect some dry branches and I'll be back in a bit."
Fu Xingyun had just finished dressing when he glanced at the person and replied with a nonchalant "Mm".
Lin Qiong winked at the person, "Don't worry about me."
He then pulled his head back in.
When Lin Qiong returned, the two of them exchanged unreadable glances.
Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "I feel embarrassed when you look at me like that."
"..."
"..."
Lin Qiong scratched her head. "What's wrong?"
Ji Yao: "You're the only one with a boyfriend?!"
Li Hanyang: "You're the only one who has someone looking for you?"
Lin Qiong probed, "Isn't that right?"
Ji Yao and Li Hanyang were greatly surprised.
Lin Qiong looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you have boyfriends/girlfriends?"
"..."
Come on, let's hurt each other.
Ji Yao covered Lin Qiong's mouth to stop her from babbling on and on, "Alright, let's go."
The group arrived at the back of the mountain, picking up tree branches while enjoying the scenery.
When they reached a hillside, Li Hanyang was surprised to find, "Hey! You two, come here."
Lin Qiong, who was picking wildflowers, stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You'll see when you get here."
After Ji Yao and Lin Qiong arrived, Li Hanyang pointed to the distance and said, "You can watch the sunrise and sunset from this place."
He pointed to another road, saying that it led to the top of the mountain and offered a clearer view.
Lin Qiong's mouth formed an "O" shape. "Really?"
He had only ever seen the sunrise on television.
Li Hanyang nodded, "But it gets light early in the summer, so if you want to watch it, you'll probably have to come at three o'clock. Watching it later is fine though."
Lin Qiong held a bunch of wildflowers with a longing look on her face, then glanced at the path leading to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, Lin Qiong was carrying a bundle of firewood and picking up flowers. Ji Yao asked in confusion, "Weren't you here to collect dry branches? Why are you picking flowers?"
Lin Qiong smiled brightly at the person and said, "I picked it for Xing Yun."
Ji Yao: "You're the only one with a boyfriend?!"
“That’s right,” Lin Qiong smiled confidently, “I’m the only one who has it.”
"..."
As soon as she spoke, she squatted down to pick him up, and Ji Yao followed suit. "Sister, tell me about married life, okay?"
Lin Qiong thought for a moment, "That's good."
Eat, drink, and have money.
Ji Yao looked at them and asked, "Don't you two ever argue?"
"It's so noisy."
Ji Yao asked in surprise, "You and Xingyun actually managed to have an argument?!"
Lin Qiong was puzzled. Was Fu Xingyun good-tempered? He didn't seem like it.
Then, tentatively, she asked, "Why not?"
"He argued with you too?"
"yes."
Ji Yao: "I thought it was you playing solo."
"..."
After setting up the tent, the group of people got to work. Ji Yao and his two friends went to collect tree branches, while Qin Heng and his friends worked on the iron frame and the stove.
Qin Heng rolled up his sleeves to his forearms and looked at Qin Weichu, who was walking out of the tent and into the distance. "Where are you going?"
Qin Weichu froze, then glanced at his older brother, "Aren't you going anywhere?"
"Then you should go back to your tent and stay there quietly."
Qin Weichu: "I'm going out for a walk to clear my head."
"I'm lost, I have to find you."
"..." Qin Weichu frowned. "Why do you always criticize me? I just went out for a walk to calm down."
Qin Heng didn't even glance at him, and continued fiddling with the metal frame. "What emotions do you have to alleviate?"
Qin Weichu: "I've been dumped."
Have you ever been in love?
Qin Weichu: ...
Qin Heng, a typical straight man, said, "It didn't even start, so what kind of breakup is this?"
"..."
Qin Weichu instantly bristled, "You've gone too far!"
They started by stabbing people in the heart, saying things like, "You're the only one who's ever been in love. You didn't take people seriously, and when they ran away, you knew to look for them, but now you still haven't found them."
Qin Heng's face darkened, "You..."
A friend standing nearby quickly said, "Alright, alright."
Qin Heng gave him a warning look, "Don't do anything to embarrass me."
When his older brother became famous, Qin Weichu shrank back and remained silent.
A friend standing nearby said, "Why are you being so mean to your brother? He's emotionally traumatized, so let him go out and get some fresh air."
Qin Heng looked at Qin Weichu, who was standing there silently, with a sense of exasperation. "Come back before dark."
Qin Weichu nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand."
He quickly went to the woods. He was in the tent when he saw that some people were going to collect branches and he wanted to go with them, but he was afraid that Qin Heng would scold him. After they had been gone for a while, he hurried out to look for them.
However, after searching around the woods, he found that there were quite a few people there, but none of them were Lin Qiong. He hung his head and walked back dejectedly.
But when they got back, they found that their older brother was nowhere to be found.
The person next to Qin Weichu asked, "Where's my older brother?"
"She went to wash vegetables by the stream."
Qin Weichu nodded and turned to go back to his tent, but after a few steps, his friend behind him said, "Oh! Old Qin forgot the cilantro. I'll bring it to him. Do you think Xing Yun should..."
If you need anything, please pass it to me.
Qin Weichu, who was about to leave, froze, his expression unreadable, as if he had thought of something. But he was, after all, an actor; although he couldn't take care of himself in daily life, his career was highly professional, and he was ready to switch roles.
He looked down at the person and said, "I understand."
"You're usually so easy to talk to, but your brother always complains about you to us."
Qin Weichu asked in confusion, "What are you criticizing me for?"
"Poor kid."
"..."
Qin Weichu watched the departing figures until they were completely out of sight before heading towards Fu Xingyun's tent.
Qin Weichu unceremoniously lifted the tent flap, "Brother Xingyun, no, Fu Xingyun, come out and let's talk."
The man who had been resting with his eyes closed opened them and looked at him. Although it was only one glance, it made Qin Weichu freeze. The intimidation was extraordinary.
Fu Xingyun glanced at the person, then closed his eyes again. "There's nothing to talk about."
Qin Weichu got agitated when he saw that people didn't take him seriously. "What do you mean, 'no'? Come out and let's talk."
The man remained motionless, and Qin Weichu was somewhat annoyed. "It's about Lin Qiong."
The man looked up.
Qin Weichu pushed Fu Xingyun to a sparsely populated flat area, fearing that Qin Heng would come back and beat him, and besides, there was no one to disturb him here.
But their rivals were clearly jealous, and neither of them looked very well.
Qin Weichu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I like Lin Qiong."
Fu Xingyun's gaze darkened. "So?"
Qin Weichu: "I hope you can withdraw and let Lin Qiong choose me."
Fu Xingyun looked at the person in front of him who was eight years younger than him and said, "It's been a long time since I've said such childish things."
Qin Weichu said urgently, "I'm not joking with you."
To put it another way, "I have a crush on Lin Qiong."
Fu Xingyun crossed his eyes, "Then why don't you go and talk to him?"
Qin Weichu lowered his head in disappointment. "I told him, but he didn't agree."
"Yeah."
The man's tone was full of triumph.
Qin Weichu: "Of course, I told him as soon as I liked him, but he didn't agree, so I thought I would try other ways to get him."
Fu Xingyun frowned, his tone turning cold, "What did you do?"
“I wanted to take his wallet, but he wouldn’t allow it.”
Fu Xingyun's gaze turned sinister. "He has self-respect."
"He felt the money wasn't enough."
"..."
Fu Xingyun curled his fingers, then suddenly thought about the credit limit on the gold card he had given Lin Qiong.
Qin Weichu straightened his back again, "Although he rejected me, it doesn't mean I have no chance."
Fu Xingyun said coldly, "If he has rejected you, then you have no chance anymore."
"If we didn't have a chance, we wouldn't do it again!" Qin Weichu argued. "The fact that we can do it again means that our fate is not over, and I have a chance."
Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow at him, "My older brother said you're an actor."
Qin Weichu didn't know why the other person suddenly changed the subject. "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Fu Xingyun looked at him and said, "You should act in fewer romance films in the future, and mostly dramas."
"..."
Qin Weichu waved his hand, "That has nothing to do with Lin Qiong. I love him, and even now that I know he's married to you, I still love him, and..."
Fu Xingyun's gaze was cold. "And what?"
Qin Weichu felt a little weak in the knees under the gazes of others, but he took a deep breath and said loudly, "I am more suitable for him than you."
Qin Weichu pointed at the other person and said, "I can provide him with a better life than you or I can."
Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what kind of person he likes?"
"Of course I know, he told me everything."
"What do you mean?"
"He said he likes older, rich men."
Fu Xingyun: "Are you older than me?"
"..."
"You're richer than me?"
"..."
Fu Xingyun gave him a warning look, "You're not right for him."
Feeling looked down upon hurt Qin Weichu's pride, and he said with some embarrassment and anger, "That's only temporary! I have a future, do you?!"
Fu Xingyun's gaze darkened, and a ruthless glint appeared in his dark eyes. "You dare to say that."
Qin Weichu felt a little scared after saying those words, but for some reason, he felt superior seeing someone in a wheelchair. "I'm telling the truth. I'm young and I can make money. If Lin Qiong were with me, I would treat her a thousand times better."
It's much better than having to go through so much trouble wherever he goes.
Fu Xingyun: "He said he loves me."
This statement is utterly powerless in the face of interests and benefits.
Qin Weichu's perception of men was so clear-headed for the first time in his more than ten years of life. He was grateful to have been born into a wealthy family; his previous arrogance had led him to believe that even if he had been born in a slum, he could still...
He is where he is today, but after seeing Fu Xingyun, he realized he was wrong.
Qin Weichu's eyes trembled as he spoke, "Fu Xingyun, I know how capable, strategic, and far-sighted you are, and how glorious you are."
Her voice softened slightly as she said, "But that's all in the past."
"You can no longer stand up..."
