Chapter 429 "Do you want to sleep with me?"...
April 29:
Ye Qingxi decided not to tell Mu Shaowu for the time being, and Qin Cheng naturally agreed.
However, Mu Shaowu will be back soon, which means Ye Qingxi will have to go home then.
Although the distance wasn't far, it certainly wasn't as convenient as it is now.
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng cherished the time before Mu Shaowu returned even more.
Ye Qingxi is the same.
Before he and Qin Cheng decided to give it a try, he looked forward to Mu Shaowu's return every day.
Now he's going to try things out with Qin Cheng. Although he also wants Mu Shaowu to come back, he doesn't want to be separated from Qin Cheng like this.
"What if they meet too frequently and get discovered?" Ye Qingxi wondered.
But if they don't see each other, aren't they dating right now?
How can you be in a relationship without seeing each other?
Ye Qingxi rested her chin on her hand, thinking to herself, "This secret relationship is really troublesome."
From this perspective, his uncle is quite remarkable; he managed to maintain a secret relationship with Duan Yi for such a long time.
He truly admired him!
Three days later, Zhang Chun left his original company and reported to Qin Cheng's office.
Qin Cheng had already prepared an office for him and introduced him to Li Wen.
When Zhang Chun heard that he had actually made a friend abroad, he was astonished for a long time. "There's actually a second person in the whole world who's willing to be your friend?!"
Qin Cheng: ...
When Li Wen heard that he actually had friends back when he was studying in China, he was shocked for a long time. "Besides me, the unfortunate soul you saved, who is willing to be your friend, you actually have other friends?"
Qin Cheng: ...
The two, curious about each other, found each other again after Qin Cheng left and started chatting.
After their conversation, Zhang Chun went into Qin Cheng's office and talked to him about work.
After finishing discussing work-related matters, he casually added, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Qin Cheng refused, saying, "I have to go home."
"Then tomorrow night?"
"I have to go home too."
Zhang Chun: "...The night after tomorrow?!"
Qin Cheng: "...Same."
Zhang Chun:? ? ?
Zhang Chun was puzzled, "You can't even spare one night?"
Qin Cheng: "I'm short on time."
"Is it tight?"
"My second uncle will be back soon."
"so?"
"Xiao Xi is going back to his home soon."
Zhang Chun:......
Zhang Chun muted his microphone.
When it comes to Ye Qingxi, he is indeed unworthy.
"Alright, then you can have dinner with me after Xiaoxi gets home."
"Um."
Seeing that he had agreed, Zhang Chun prepared to leave. As he turned his head, his gaze fell on the bracelet on his wrist.
He was somewhat surprised. "You're still wearing it?"
Qin Cheng: ?
Qin Cheng followed his gaze and saw the bracelet on his wrist.
He gave Zhang Chun a look that seemed perfectly natural.
Zhang Chun sighed, "I really didn't expect that after all these years, you would still be wearing this bracelet. The one I gave to my sister, she doesn't even know where she put it."
Qin Cheng said smugly, "Then your sister is not as good as Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi is still wearing it now."
Zhang Chun: ...Is it possible that not wearing it is the normal thing to do?
After all these years, who would wear only one bracelet?
That's outrageous!
“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Xiaoxi for a long time either. How about the three of us have a meal together? That would be perfect and wouldn’t take up any of your time with him,” Zhang Chun suggested.
Qin Cheng refused, "What business is it of yours if we're just having a good time together?"
He asked, "Don't you feel a little superfluous having dinner with us?"
Zhang Chun:? ? ? ?
Zhang Chun was speechless: "You'd better be able to say this to your boyfriend when he starts dating in the future!"
Qin Cheng laughed upon hearing this.
There's something you don't know yet, is there?
"What?"
"Xiaoxi has a boyfriend."
Zhang Chun:? ? ?
Zhang Chun:! ! ! !
Zhang Chun leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, "Is the other person alright? Is he still alive? You know that murder is illegal, right?!"
Qin Cheng: ? ? ?
Qin Cheng: …………………
"Get out," Qin Cheng said through gritted teeth.
"No way!" Zhang Chun looked at him. "Who is Xiao Xi dating?"
He asked curiously, "Judging from your expression, you seem to be able to accept it. Is the other person very outstanding?"
Qin Cheng: "I'm just a little better than you."
"That's impossible!" Zhang Chun exclaimed. "Anyone more outstanding than me even human? Someone as outstanding as me is rare in this world!"
Qin Cheng: ...Your narcissism is truly rare in this world.
"A girl?" Zhang Chun guessed.
"boy."
Zhang Chun:! ! ! !
"A boy?!" Zhang Chun exclaimed in shock. "He's still alive?"
"You haven't already gotten rid of them, that's why you're so nonchalant now, have you?!"
Qin Cheng: ...Is he that kind of person?
Qin Cheng thought about it again and realized it was hard to say.
Ye Qingxi is going to have a boyfriend. Who knows what he might do?
"So who is it?" Zhang Chun asked curiously. "Little Xi actually has someone he likes?"
Zhang Chun found it hard to believe, mainly because he had always seen Ye Qingxi as a younger brother who was still innocent and naive.
Now, he actually has a boyfriend!
That's amazing!
He looked at Qin Cheng, and Qin Cheng looked at him too.
Then, Qin Cheng smiled and said softly, "Me."
Zhang Chun:? ? ?
Zhang Chun:! ! !
Zhang Chun could hardly believe what he was hearing.
who? !
Qin Cheng?!
"Are you... serious?"
"certainly."
Zhang Chun:…………
"So you and Xiaoxi's younger brother..."
“We are a couple now,” Qin Cheng said.
Zhang Chun:! ! !
Zhang Chun remained silent for a long time before cautiously asking, "You wouldn't have liked him since junior high, would you?"
"Of course not," Qin Cheng said. "Back then, I only considered him my younger brother."
"And who are you?"
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng didn't really want to talk to him that much.
"Just keep it to yourself, don't tell anyone else."
"You can't even tell about your new best friend?"
“He knows,” Qin Cheng said calmly.
Zhang Chun:? ? ?
Zhang Chun:! ! !
Zhang Chun was now unhappy!
"He knew?! He actually knew?! So he knew all along, and I only found out now?!"
Zhang Chun was dissatisfied. "In terms of time, we've known each other since junior high. In terms of feelings, we've been through thick and thin together for ten years. In terms of who came first, I was much earlier than him. And in terms of how well he knows Xiao Xi, can he compare to me? Yet you told him first!"
Zhang Chun pointed and said, "You really hurt me!"
Qin Cheng: ? ? ?
Qin Cheng: ...
"First, I didn't tell him; he guessed it himself."
"Secondly, even without him, Xiaoxi and I would still be brothers."
So it doesn't exist at all, he told Li Wen first.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chun finally began to understand what was going on.
It seems that things are not as he thought.
That's fine, Zhang Chun is satisfied.
“You have to remember, I’m your best brother!” he said. “When we met, he was probably still playing in the mud somewhere!”
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng never dreamed that one day he would face such a thing.
Isn't this something that only his younger brother has to face?
Qin Cheng had a headache.
He waved his hand, dismissing Zhang Chun.
"Oh, right," Qin Cheng reminded him again, "Don't tell anyone else."
Zhang Chun gave him an OK sign, then suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to his desk, "So does your second uncle know?"
Qin Cheng: "...What do you think?"
Zhang Chun looked at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good luck."
Qin Cheng: Then we should definitely wish him good luck.
When Ye Qingxi came to pick him up, she heard him say that Zhang Chun had already arrived, and she felt a pang of nostalgia for a moment.
“I haven’t seen Brother Zhang Chun in a long time either. How about the three of us have a meal together?”
Qin Cheng: ...This is exactly what Zhang Chun was thinking.
Qin Cheng felt it wasn't really necessary, but since Ye Qingxi wanted to, he didn't refuse.
The next day, Zhang Chun was called to Qin Cheng's office. "Let's go eat grilled fish tonight. I'll send you the restaurant details later. You can book a private room, and Xiao Xi can come along too."
Zhang Chun:? ? ?
"Didn't you say you weren't going to eat? Your second uncle will be back soon."
"Xiao Xi wants to see you."
Zhang Chun: That's what he said.
Sure enough, the only one who could change this brother-obsessed man's mind was his brother.
Oh no, he's her boyfriend now.
It's so unfair to my adorable little Xi!
"What kind of taste do you have?" Qin Cheng looked at him.
Zhang Chun smiled, “Expectant, expectant eyes.”
"But why are we eating grilled fish?" Zhang Chun asked, puzzled. "I just had grilled fish. Let's eat something else."
"Xiao Xi wants to eat grilled fish," Qin Cheng said succinctly.
Zhang Chun: ...I understand.
"I'll go book a private room right now."
He left Qin Cheng's office and made a phone call to reserve a private room.
Three years later, Ye Qingxi looked at Zhang Chun and said in surprise, "Brother Zhang Chun, you don't seem to have changed at all."
“You too,” Zhang Chun said, “Still as adorable as before.”
"By the way, I went to see your movie before, and I even invited people from my department to watch it. I must say, it was pretty good. The young couple in my department even went to see it a second time."
"Really?" Ye Qingxi smiled. "My new movie is finished filming. I'll invite you to see it when it's released."
"It's not your turn! Your brother would have sent us the movie tickets long ago!"
Before Ye Qingxi arrived, Qin Cheng told her that he had already told Zhang Chun about their current relationship. Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Qin Cheng asked the waiter for the menu and let Ye Qingxi order the fish and vegetables first.
When the grilled fish was served, Qin Cheng took the initiative to pick up some fish for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi had bookmarked this restaurant's grilled fish before, and now that she's eating it, she thinks it tastes pretty good, just a little salty.
He turned his head, picked up the cup, and took several sips of his drink.
Qin Cheng then refilled his drink cup after he put it down.
Zhang Chun on the other side: ...It really hasn't changed at all since three years ago.
Wait a minute, Zhang Chun suddenly realized that they were now a couple, so how could they not change?
However, after the meal, Zhang Chun found that there was not much difference from before.
Previously, Qin Cheng had been just as attentive and devoted to Ye Qingxi.
Let alone an older brother's affection for his younger brother, even a father's affection for his son is rarely this intense.
So, could it be that he already had a crush on Ye Qingxi back in college?
He's really been able to endure all these years!
After finishing their meal, Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng said goodbye to Zhang Chun and went home.
With only five days left until Mu Shaowu returns, Ye Qingxi looked at the calendar on her phone and propped her head up with her hand.
He still remembered that night when Qin Cheng was drunk and grabbed him, wanting him to sleep with him.
But now, let alone sleeping together, they won't even be living under the same roof anymore.
Should she go and sleep with her brother for another night? Ye Qingxi lay in bed, pondering.
Actually, it's not impossible. He thought, they had slept together before, so it's not a big deal.
"But back then they were just brothers, weren't they?" Ye Qingxi asked again.
But what are they going to do now? Another voice in Ye Qingxi's mind said, it doesn't make sense that now that their relationship has gotten closer, they're being more timid than before, right?
To go or not to go, that is the question.
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and decided to roll the dice.
He opened WeChat, tapped his own profile picture, and started rolling dice in his chat box.
"Go on the first three, then we'll go on the fourth, fifth, and sixth," Ye Qingxi said.
He clicked the dice icon and sent it. The dice spun in the chat box for a while before finally stopping. Five points, no way.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi said quietly: You misspoke. Actually, we don't go on the first, second, and third days, but we go on the fourth, fifth, and sixth days. Yes, we go on the big ones.
Then he clicked the icon again and sent it.
This time, the dice spun for a long time before finally landing on a three.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi: Actually, it seems more appropriate to go on the first, second, and third days, and not on the fourth, fifth, and sixth days. Hmm, the older ones don't go, but the younger ones do.
He then rolled the dice again, and the final result showed five.
Ahhhhh, Ye Qingxi is angry! What happened?! Is there something wrong with these dice?!
He decided that odd numbers would go and even numbers would not. Now, 535 is all odd numbers, which means he would go!
So Ye Qingxi took a shower, put her pajamas back on, and went downstairs with her phone.
Qin Cheng was working on documents in his study when he heard a knock on the door. Curious, he went out and saw Ye Qingxi had already closed the door and come in.
Qin Cheng: ?
What's the matter so late?
"Um...are you getting ready for bed?" Ye Qingxi asked him.
Qin Cheng shook his head.
Ye Qingxi: It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?
"Are you getting ready to sleep?" Qin Cheng asked.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
He looked at Qin Cheng and asked him, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Qin Cheng: !!!
Qin Cheng felt as if all the stars in the sky had fallen.
From the first day he moved into Mu Feng's place, he had fantasized and hoped that he and Ye Qingxi could sleep together like they did when they lived together in college.
Each time Ye Qingxi reached the top of the stairs, she would wave goodbye to him and continue walking towards her bedroom. Qin Cheng would never say anything, as if he had never had any inappropriate fantasies.
Now that they are in a romantic relationship, he naturally finds it even more difficult to bring it up, fearing that Ye Qingxi might misunderstand and think he wants to do something.
But he never expected that Ye Qingxi would ask him today, at this time, whether he wanted to sleep with her.
Qin Cheng was certainly willing, but...
"Do you want to?" he asked Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "I'm right here, why are you still asking me this question?"
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I'll go take a shower," he said.
"Weren't you not going to sleep yet?" Ye Qingxi said.
"It's alright," Qin Cheng said. "You can sleep there too."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
At this moment, Ye Qingxi's brother looked just like a tyrannical ruler.
"Why don't you continue working for a while?" he said. "Otherwise, I feel like I'm disturbing your work."
"Okay," Qin Cheng replied.
He returned to his study.
Ye Qingxi then sat down on the small sofa in his study.
He picked up a book and started reading it casually.
Qin Cheng looked at him, then at the movie, and finally couldn't help but want to look at him again.
Sometimes, Qin Cheng felt that he was a very determined person with a strong will.
But sometimes, Qin Cheng felt that his willpower was not firm at all.
Right now, he finds these documents tedious and boring, utterly meaningless, and far less interesting than admiring his brother.
He unconsciously looked at Ye Qingxi again.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi covered her face with a book. Honestly, did he come here just so he could read documents in front of her?
Even if that's the case, we still need to check the documents, right?
Why are you only looking at him?
Qin Cheng noticed his little action, smiled, looked away, and continued looking at the documents.
After finally finishing reading the documents, Qin Cheng stood up, closed his laptop, and looked at Ye Qingxi, saying, "Then I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Qin Cheng strode towards the bathroom, and Ye Qingxi also came out of the study and sat on the sofa in his bedroom.
After sitting for a while, he stood up again and walked to Qin Cheng's bedside.
Qin Cheng's bed was very large, about 2x2 in size. When Ye Qingxi looked at it, he couldn't help but think of that night when Qin Cheng was lying on the bed and he tentatively tried to kiss him.
He silently covered his face, somewhat embarrassed.
They're probably just going to sleep today, no kissing, right? Ye Qingxi thought, but actually, a kiss wouldn't be so bad.
But isn't it too fast?
They just said they wanted to try it out, how come they're kissing already?!
Ye Qingxi lay down on the bed, deep in thought.
As he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and the door was pushed open the next second.
Ye Qingxi was so startled that he sat up abruptly, only to see his grandfather appear in front of him.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Mu Feng looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi could only say, "I came to borrow a book from my brother."
Where's your brother?
"He went to take a shower," Ye Qingxi said. "He's getting ready for bed."
Mu Feng looked at him, "Then what about you?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi smiled, "I want to sleep with him tonight."
He said, "We haven't slept together in a long time."
Mu Feng thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng had been close since childhood, and they often slept together, so Mu Feng didn't think much of it.
Anyway, they're both guys, good brothers and good friends. They got into a good chat and wanted to sleep together, which is normal.
"Grandpa, is there something you need from my brother?"
“I looked at the plan he sent me before, and there were a few problems. I was still awake, so I thought I'd come over and talk to him about it.”
"Grandpa, wait a moment, he should be done washing soon."
"Never mind." Mu Feng looked at him. "You guys go to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"It's alright," Ye Qingxi said. "No rush."
Seeing this, Mu Feng also had some thoughts of involving him in company affairs, so he did not refuse again.
Qin Cheng was surprised to find that his grandfather had arrived when he came out of the bathroom.
Qin Cheng: ...
Ye Qingxi quickly said, "Grandpa came to talk to you about the proposal you sent him before."
Qin Cheng: Thank goodness, thank goodness it wasn't because of him and Ye Qingxi.
Qin Cheng was inwardly terrified, but outwardly remained calm.
He walked towards the study and pulled up the plan he had sent to Mu Feng.
Mu Feng glanced at Ye Qingxi, who was puzzled but still followed him.
Upon seeing this, Qin Cheng turned the computer towards Ye Qingxi so that he could see it more easily.
At the same time, he also briefly explained the general content of the plan to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
No, why are you telling me all this?
Ye Qingxi nodded silently, "Oh."
Seeing that he had a pretty good understanding, Mu Feng then formally began to speak with Qin Cheng.
As he spoke, he also guided Ye Qingxi, asking him, "What do you think?"
"So what do you think we should do?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was very frank; she would say what she knew if she had any thoughts, and if she didn't know, she would say she didn't know.
Mu Feng didn't laugh at him, but instead seriously analyzed the situation with him and guided him to think about what to do in this situation.
After he finished speaking, Ye Qingxi had a thorough understanding of the plan.
"Do you understand?" Mu Feng asked him.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Feng chuckled, "You learn pretty quickly, don't you? Before, when I said I'd teach you, you ran faster than a rabbit."
Ye Qingxi: ...Isn't it because he doesn't want to learn yet?
Ye Qingxi smiled and looked at him, "Like father, like son. You're so amazing, so naturally I can't be too weak."
When will you join the company?
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi looked at his grandfather and said, "I just finished filming my second movie."
"It's already the second season," Mu Feng said.
"Give me a little more time," Ye Qingxi said, shaking his arm and pleading, "Grandpa~ Grandpa~"
Mu Feng had no choice but to pull his arm out of his grasp, look at him, and say helplessly, "Go to sleep."
After saying that, she looked at Qin Cheng and said, "You should get some rest too."
Qin Cheng nodded. "Good night."
"Good night." Mu Feng turned and walked out.
Ye Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief after he left.
He felt that if he continued dating like this, his heart would eventually "bang" and explode.
No wonder his uncle wanted to move out; indeed, a secret relationship can't be kept at home!
"You..." Qin Cheng looked at him, then at the door, and asked with some concern, "Are you going to sleep here again tonight?"
"Of course," Ye Qingxi replied without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng unconsciously relaxed, as he had thought Ye Qingxi would want to go back.
“Then let’s… go to sleep,” he said.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi blinked. Oh right, Qin Cheng has finished showering, shouldn't he be going to sleep now?
He nodded and walked somewhat awkwardly to Qin Cheng's side.
"Then... let's go to sleep."
Qin Cheng turned around and went to get a new pillow.
As he grabbed the thin blanket, he turned to Ye Qingxi and asked, "Would you mind sharing a blanket with me?"
Ye Qingxi: !!!
Ye Qingxi blushed immediately.
He answered in a soft but clear voice, "I don't really mind."
Qin Cheng quickly stuffed the thin blanket he had just taken out back into place.
Ye Qingxi: You moved way too fast!
Qin Cheng, holding a pillow, asked him, "Which side do you want to sleep on?"
Ye Qingxi was fine with either option. He remembered that Qin Cheng had lain down on his left side that night, so he pointed to his right side and said, "This way."
Qin Cheng smiled and helped him put the pillow over there.
Ye Qingxi then lifted the blanket and lay down inside.
The moment she lay down, Ye Qingxi suddenly remembered that when they used to live together, he always slept on her right side.
At that time, Qin Cheng slept on the left and he slept on the right. When he woke up, he had already rolled over and moved to Qin Cheng's left side.
At that moment, Ye Qingxi suddenly realized that Qin Cheng had not been sleeping on the left side from the beginning.
When he was little, Qin Cheng liked to sleep in the middle.
Later, when they lived together, he slept on the right side, so Qin Cheng could only sleep on the left side.
Images from the past flashed before his eyes: the small house they lived in together, the pillow on his left side in the foreign apartment, and his habitual left-side lying position when drunk.
He had been waiting for him.
He developed the habit of only sleeping on his left side because of this.
No matter how big the bed is, he only sleeps on one side.
His right side was empty; the right side of the bed was empty.
He awaits the arrival of the person who will occupy his place.
He just hadn't realized it all along.
It wasn't when we lived together, it wasn't when I visited him abroad, and it wasn't even the day he got drunk.
Just like he never realized it, his unrequited love.
