Chapter 367, Update 3672
367:
At noon after school, Ye Qingxi went upstairs to Class 1 of Senior Three, as usual, to find Qin Cheng.
As soon as Zhang Chun saw him, he immediately leaned closer to Qin Cheng and said, "Oh, little brother, you're here early today~ Looks like their teacher didn't keep them late."
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng glanced at him speechlessly, thinking that he really talked too much.
He stood up and walked to the classroom door.
Ye Qingxi was still talking to Qin Cheng's class's art and literature representative when she saw him arrive. She said goodbye and walked towards the stairwell with Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng felt that he was genuinely popular.
Almost every time he came over, someone would try to strike up a conversation with him, to the point that sometimes he didn't really want Ye Qingxi to come over.
In other words, since senior high school students get out of school late, by the time he gets out, Ye Qingxi has already gotten out. Otherwise, Qin Cheng would prefer to go downstairs to find Ye Qingxi himself.
"You can stay in the classroom from now on," Qin Cheng said. "I'll come find you after school."
"It's nothing." Ye Qingxi didn't care at all. "It's just a few steps anyway, it's the same if I come up."
Qin Cheng: ...
What could Qin Cheng say?
Qin Cheng could only let him do as he pleased.
"What would you like to eat?" Ye Qingxi asked him.
"And you?"
"I'm fine with either."
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to eat at that newly opened stir-fry restaurant? Let's go with that one."
"Okay." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Stir-frying is good, and there are many options, so Huo Zinan probably wouldn't be unwilling.
that is……
Ye Qingxi glanced at Qin Cheng beside her. Her brother should remember that besides the two of them, Huo Zinan was also there for dinner today, right?
As it turns out, Qin Cheng really had forgotten.
If Ye Qingxi hadn't pulled him aside when they passed the junior high school gate, changing his direction, Qin Chengzhen would have walked straight past without stopping for a moment.
He watched Huo Zinan walk towards them, and the thought that from now on, noon would no longer belong solely to him and Ye Qingxi, but would also include Huo Zinan, made him feel annoyed.
However, he did not show any emotion on his face in order to save face for Ye Qingxi.
Huo Zinan was somewhat surprised to see him.
Why is Ye Qingxi's cousin here too?
“My brother and I went to the same high school; he’s a senior this year,” Ye Qingxi explained.
"I see," Huo Zinan nodded.
He greeted politely, "Hello, brother."
"Just call me Qin Cheng," Qin Cheng said indifferently.
He doesn't like anyone other than Ye Qingxi calling him "brother".
Huo Zinan nodded, "Okay."
Ye Qingxi pulled him up and, as they walked towards the restaurant, asked, "What would you like to eat? Is stir-fry okay?"
“Sure,” Huo Zinan said.
"How were you feeling this morning? How are your classmates and teachers? Is there anyone you particularly dislike?"
"No."
Although his entry into the class did cause some commotion, they only looked at him either secretly or openly, without saying anything or doing anything.
"That's good," Ye Qingxi said. "If any of them do anything unfriendly to you, just tell me."
Huo Zinan almost burst out laughing when he heard this.
He felt that Ye Qingxi's words had a very parental tone.
However, if that's really the case, telling Ye Qingxi wouldn't be of any use.
It's better to just tell the teacher.
However, despite what he thought in his heart, Huo Zinan still obediently replied, "Mm."
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng felt it was unnecessary.
Huo Zinan is almost fourteen years old, not four. Doesn't he have the ability to handle his own affairs?
But since he was Ye Qingxi's friend and Ye Qingxi was still alive, he didn't say anything.
The three of them went to a nearby stir-fry restaurant for a meal.
After finishing a meal, it's time for a nap.
Mu Shaoyan's house, Ye Qingxi's house, and Qin Cheng's house were not on the same road, so when they reached the fork in the road, Huo Zinan naturally parted ways with them.
Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng walked back to their apartment complex and took the elevator.
Qin Cheng pressed his own floor button, but Ye Qingxi did not.
Qin Cheng assumed that he wanted to wait until he left before pressing the button, and didn't think much of it.
A short while later, the elevator stopped at Qin Cheng's floor and opened the door.
"Then I'm leaving. You get some rest," Qin Cheng said. "I'll come and get you in a bit."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
Qin Cheng turned and walked out.
However, as soon as he stepped outside, he discovered that Ye Qingxi had also come out.
Qin Cheng: ?
Qin Cheng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much," Ye Qingxi said, "I just suddenly felt like going to your house to take a look?"
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng was puzzled, but he still led him into his house.
Ye Qingxi had actually been to this house quite a few times. Sometimes Qin Luan would have the housekeeper cook and bring the food over, and they would eat at Qin Cheng's house.
Now that he's inside, Qin Cheng will let him look around.
Ye Qingxi pretended to look around his living room, then the kitchen, before heading towards the second bedroom.
He had previously visited his second bedroom, which was fully furnished and ready to move in at any time; sure enough, it was still the same.
Ye Qingxi turned to Qin Cheng and said, "I'm tired and don't want to move, so I'll borrow your bedroom to sleep for the afternoon."
Qin Cheng: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "I'm going to sleep now~"
After saying that, he turned and walked inside.
Qin Cheng quickly stopped him, saying, "I haven't had the housekeeper come over these past few days, so this place hasn't been cleaned. If you want to sleep, you should go to my bedroom."
Ye Qingxi thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, they slept together when they were little, and besides, Qin Cheng's bed is quite big enough for both of them.
He nodded and walked towards Qin Cheng's master bedroom.
Qin Cheng followed him inside and helped him get his own clean pajamas that he hadn't worn.
He put his clothes away, grabbed his pajamas, and prepared to leave.
"Then you should rest well, I'll call you in a bit."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Seeing him about to leave after speaking, Ye Qingxi asked in confusion, "Aren't you sleeping here?"
Qin Cheng: ?
"I'll sleep in the second bedroom."
"Didn't you say it wasn't cleaned?"
"It's nothing," Qin Cheng said.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
"So you won't let me stay?"
Qin Cheng didn't think there was any problem. "Anyway, you can sleep here."
Ye Qingxi thought he was really generous.
What kind of guest sleeps in the master bedroom and kicks the host to a dirty second bedroom?
"Forget it, let's sleep together," Ye Qingxi said. "Anyway, your bed isn't too small."
Qin Cheng: !!!
Qin Cheng looked at Ye Qingxi and saw her smile brightly, like the summer sun suddenly shining in and dazzling his eyes.
Seeing that the curtains were drawn, Ye Qingxi turned around and began to change her clothes.
The weather in October was already a bit chilly, especially since it had rained briefly last night, but it wasn't too cold yet, so Ye Qingxi was only wearing a sweatshirt.
He grabbed the hem of his hoodie with both hands and lifted it up, revealing his slender waist, which, under the crystal chandelier, resembled white porcelain—pure, beautiful, and flawless.
For some reason, Qin Cheng subconsciously looked away.
He found it a bit strange.
He seemed not quite understanding why he turned his head away and looked away.
He's seen them before; they grew up together, even bathed together when they were little, and he even helped Ye Qingxi bathe. Now it's just changing clothes, there's absolutely no need for this.
But he avoided looking back.
Perhaps it's because they've all grown up, Qin Cheng thought, that they've developed a sense of shame, and changing clothes has become a private matter that shouldn't be seen by others.
Yes, that must be it.
After Ye Qingxi changed into her pajamas, she turned around and found that Qin Cheng had his back to her.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
He asked in confusion, "Why did you turn around?"
Qin Cheng figured he must have changed, so he turned back.
He said, "It's nothing."
Ye Qingxi didn't think much of it, and directly lifted the covers and sat on the bed, urging him, "Why don't you change into your pajamas?"
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng felt he should turn around, but looking into his clear, bright eyes, he couldn't say anything.
In the end, he simply turned his back to Ye Qingxi and changed into his pajamas.
Ye Qingxi glanced at him a few times with a pure heart and thought he had a really good figure.
His brother is handsome, has a good physique, comes from a good family, and has good grades. With such good qualities, it's no wonder that many boys and girls in school like him.
Yes, a boy.
Ye Qingxi was surprised for a long time when she first heard it, and it took her a while to confirm it.
You know, his dad likes men, his uncle likes men, and if his brother also likes men, well…
Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for his grandfather.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxi asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of person do you like?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng buttoned up the last button of his pajamas, turned to look at him, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious," Ye Qingxi said. "Do you prefer boys or girls, gentle and pretty, or lively and cute?"
I feel like his brother probably doesn't really like mature, queen-like women either.
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng had never really thought about this kind of question.
He said, "I don't like any of them."
"That's because you haven't met the right person yet," Ye Qingxi said confidently. "Once you do, you'll really appreciate it."
Qin Cheng did not believe it.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never particularly liked anyone except Ye Qingxi.
But speaking of which...
Qin Cheng approached Ye Qingxi and asked, "What kind of person do you like?"
Ye Qingxi: "Huh?"
"You're already in your first year of high school, so someone must have confessed to you by now, right?"
"I've only just started high school," Ye Qingxi said. "It can't be that fast."
"You didn't have that in junior high?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Of course there are.
But he refused.
Ye Qingxi smiled, with a touch of childlike innocence, "I don't know either."
He said, "But I feel that this kind of thing should be based on feeling. If you feel it, no matter what the other person is like, they like you. If you don't feel it, then no matter what they are like, they are not the one you like."
"You're quite knowledgeable."
“I’ve watched a lot of idol dramas, okay?” Ye Qingxi said.
Qin Cheng: ...Is this something to be proud of?
He walked to the other side of the bed and sat down.
"But you're still young, so it's best not to date before you graduate high school," Qin Cheng suggested.
Ye Qingxi felt that it wasn't right to say it that way.
"As long as it doesn't affect my grades, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" he said.
Qin Cheng: !!!
Qin Cheng immediately became alert. "What do you mean? Do you want to have another relationship in high school?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I just feel that we shouldn't be so absolute. If we don't meet someone we like, then of course it's fine. But if we do meet someone we like, then it's not impossible to date."
Qin Cheng: …………
Qin Cheng thought, "Of course not!"
How can this not be unacceptable?!
This absolutely cannot be allowed!
His younger brother is only fourteen years old!
Even a senior in high school is only sixteen!
He's still a child, how can he be in a relationship?!
Qin Cheng was instantly wide awake.
