Chapter 432 Their love for each other was always evident...
432:
Although Zhong Yan said "He's so beautiful it'll kill him", she still accompanied Ye Qingxi to the mall the next day.
"What kind of coat do you want to buy?" he asked Ye Qingxi.
"A trench coat, I guess," Ye Qingxi said. "My dad likes trench coats."
“You have good taste,” Zhong Yan said. “I like it too.”
“Then I’ll buy you one too,” Ye Qingxi said.
“Okay.” Zhong Yan didn’t stand on ceremony with him. “You, Young Master Ye, will pay for all the clothes today.”
“No problem.” Ye Qingxi smiled at him.
Zhong Yan smiled too.
As he accompanied Ye Qingxi shopping and picking out items, he asked her, "How does it feel to be in a relationship?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought it was pretty good.
He asked Zhong Yan, "What do you think?"
"It's alright," Zhong Yan said stubbornly.
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "So you're still living with Pei Liang?"
“He begged me while crying.” Zhong Yan raised her chin, looking proud. “I pity him. Seeing that he was in such a state, I agreed out of concern for my friend.”
"friend?"
Zhong Yan: ...
"Boyfriend, okay?"
Ye Qingxi sighed, "Some people are just so stubborn."
"You're so stubborn! It's only been a few days, and you've already kissed Qin Cheng." Zhong Yan said, exasperated. "I told you to give it a try, and you've already given him all the perks he deserves—kissing him and buying him clothes. What's the point of trying then? You might as well just confirm your relationship with him!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought to herself: The atmosphere was already there, so it was all going to happen naturally~
and……
Moreover, Ye Qingxi felt that it wasn't impossible for him to confirm his relationship with Qin Cheng right now.
Of course, Zhong Yan couldn't hear this, otherwise his good friend would go even further.
Ye Qingxi smiled, pulled over a trench coat, and asked him, "Do you like this?"
Zhong Yan glanced at it twice and thought it seemed alright.
He took it, removed the hanger, and put it on.
He was already tall, had a good figure, and was good-looking, so he naturally looked very dashing in his clothes.
The sales assistant couldn't stop praising, "You look so handsome! You look absolutely stunning in this! You and your friend are both so tall and have such long legs, you look like celebrities! Especially your friend, at first glance I thought he was Ye Qingxi!"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Seriously? He's wearing a hat, black-rimmed glasses, and a mask, how can anyone recognize him?!
Zhong Yan smiled and thought to herself, "Isn't this Ye Qingxi herself?"
He said with his experience, "Right? People often think he looks like Ye Qingxi, and some even ask him for his autograph."
Ye Qingxi: ...
The sales assistant laughed, "It really does look like her. When you two came in just now, I thought it was Ye Qingxi, and I almost handed her the notebook!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi silently turned her head and pretended to look at the clothes.
Zhong Yan then asked the sales assistant to wrap up the trench coat he had tried on.
He started looking at other trench coats again.
After walking around for a while, Ye Qingxi had also chosen trench coats for Mu Shaowu, Mu Feng, Feng Que, and Qin Cheng.
Zhong Yan then picked out a sweatshirt for him.
He held it up against Ye Qingxi and thought it looked pretty good. "Okay, let's take this one too."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
"I haven't tried it yet."
"Then give it a try."
Ye Qingxi looked at the hoodie in his hand and thought it was indeed quite nice, so she put it on and tried it on.
It's not bad.
Zhong Yan said smugly, "I have a good eye, don't I?"
"Um."
"Then you should try this denim jacket too." Zhong Yan brought him another one.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qingxi asked, both amused and exasperated. "We didn't come out today to buy me clothes."
"Since you're already here, you should definitely buy yourself something. Go ahead and try it on."
Ye Qingxi had no choice but to take off her hoodie and try on the denim jacket.
The results were quite good.
Zhong Yan liked the look of the items, so she tried them on herself, then took two and paid for them together.
He gave one of them to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi laughed and said, "What, are you giving it to me?"
“Yes,” Zhong Yan said readily, “It’s a gift for your first love.”
Ye Qingxi clicked her tongue, "You're so stingy! This is all the gift I received for my first love?"
"Your first love is still ongoing, it hasn't been a complete success yet. When you succeed and get married, I'll give you a big gift."
"What if I fail?" Ye Qingxi asked him.
Zhong Yan: ? ? ?
Zhong Yan thought he was overthinking it. As long as he didn't think they were a bad match, Qin Cheng definitely wouldn't break up with him.
Judging from his current state, he probably doesn't think they're incapable.
So success is already a done deal; it's just a matter of when he wants to get married.
Zhong Yan felt it shouldn't be too late. After all, it was Old Master Feng's age, and with Ye Qingxi's personality, it was fine if she didn't date, but if she did, she certainly wouldn't let the old man pass away without knowing that he already had someone he liked, leaving him with regrets.
So, I guess in a few years, he'll be able to give his childhood friend a big gift from his first love.
Zhong Yan patted him on the shoulder, initially estimating that he would be the first of the four to get married.
After buying the clothes, the two left the mall.
Zhong Yan first took Ye Qingxi home, and then went home herself.
When Mu Feng saw him return carrying large and small bags, he asked, "What did you buy?"
Ye Qingxi took out a trench coat from inside. "This is for you."
Mu Feng: ?
"Why did you buy it for me?"
“It’s almost time to change the season, so I went out and bought a few coats. I also bought one for you, my dad, and my brother. Grandpa, try them on and see if they look good.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Feng felt that he was quite thoughtful.
He stood up and tried on Ye Qingxi's trench coat. It was pretty good; it was the style he usually liked.
Looking at him, Ye Qingxi thought that her grandfather was indeed handsome.
Even though he's old, he's still a handsome old man.
I wonder if his father will be this handsome when he gets old.
He thought this, and then he said it aloud.
Mu Feng scoffed dismissively, "Him?"
“My dad is very handsome,” Ye Qingxi said. “Super handsome!”
"Not as handsome as you."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt that her grandfather's words were not objective.
He's very handsome, but his dad is handsome too!
Otherwise, how could his father have become a top star right after his debut?
It's all thanks to his unparalleled face!
After Ye Qingxi finished trying it on for Mu Feng and was satisfied, she took the other bags and went upstairs.
Mu Feng looked at the trench coat Ye Qingxi had just bought for him, which he had just taken off, and smiled unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, his grandson has reached the age where he can buy him a trench coat.
But he quickly remembered that Ye Qingxi had already bought him many things when he was a child.
Even when he earned money from his first appearance on a variety show, she secretly bought him a thumb ring and gave it to him.
His grandson has always been a very well-behaved and good child.
They are all children who live in his heart, making him feel warm and tender.
Ye Qingxi went into the bedroom and put away the trench coats she had given to Mu Shaowu and Feng Que.
He looked at the trench coat he had bought for Qin Cheng. He had originally planned to give it to Qin Cheng on the day they parted ways, but then he thought that if he gave it to him sooner, Qin Cheng would be happier sooner.
Surprises sometimes don't depend on when they are received; receiving them sooner can actually make you happy for a few more days.
Ye Qingxi wanted to keep Qin Cheng happy for a few more days, so he put the bag on his small sofa first.
At 6:30 p.m., Qin Cheng returned home on time.
Ye Qingxi didn't pick him up this time, mainly because she had picked him up too frequently last week, and she had just returned. If she went again, Ye Qingxi was afraid that Mu Feng would become suspicious.
He watched Qin Cheng enter the room, smiled, and said to him, "You're back."
Qin Cheng nodded, holding a box of chocolates in his hand.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? !!!
"I originally wanted to give you flowers, but flowers seem a bit too flashy, and I was afraid that Grandpa would have a hard time explaining if he saw them, so I changed them to chocolates."
"This chocolate is delicious, you should try it."
Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled, "Why are you giving me a gift?"
Whether it's flowers or chocolate.
Qin Cheng looked at him and said something very simple.
He said, "I just wanted to give it to them."
So I gave it to them.
From the moment he arrived at the company today—no, to be precise, from the moment he left Ye Qingxi's bed and home this morning—he has been constantly thinking about her.
As I thought about it, I decided to give him something.
Qin Cheng felt he should send flowers, since they were now lovers, and nothing was more appropriate than sending flowers when they were dating.
But he felt that since he had sent flowers, it would be difficult to explain to Mu Feng.
He couldn't very well give Ye Qingxi just one or two branches.
If he were to send a bouquet, Mu Feng or Zhang Sao would inevitably see it and ask him why he suddenly sent Ye Qingxi such a bouquet of flowers.
So he switched to chocolate.
Chocolate is good too, Qin Cheng thought; chocolate is also a symbol of love.
Moreover, the chocolate was easy to explain; he said it was recommended by someone else, and he thought Ye Qingxi might like it, so he bought it for her.
Most importantly, Ye Qingxi does indeed quite like eating chocolate.
Ye Qingxi couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words.
He felt that the two of them were on the same wavelength at that moment.
Surprisingly, they had both prepared gifts for each other.
“Then I’ll try it in a bit,” he said.
"Okay," Qin Cheng replied with a smile.
Ye Qingxi took the chocolate back to her bedroom and put it in the small refrigerator before going downstairs again.
Aunt Zhang has already prepared the meal.
Mu Feng was about to go out for dinner when his phone started ringing.
He opened WeChat and saw his old friend proudly posting in the group chat: "Xiaoyan bought me this trench coat, hahaha [pictures][pictures][pictures]"
Zhong Xiang: [It's not even cold yet, and you've already prepared warm clothes for me. You've really grown up!]
Mu Feng: ...
Mu Feng disdainfully posted a photo of his trench coat that he had just taken.
It's as if everyone doesn't have one.
Zhong Xiang: ? ? ?
Zhong Xiang: [Wait, how come yours looks so much like mine?]
Mu Feng: [Xiao Xi bought it for me.]
Grandpa Zhong immediately looked at his grandson, "When you bought me clothes, were you with Xiao Xi?"
Zhong Yan nodded, "Xiao Xi said she wanted to buy a coat for her grandfather, so I went and brought one back for you too."
Grandpa Zhong: ? ? ?
"Send? What does 'send' mean?"
Zhong Yan: ? ? ?
"Bring it? Buy it?"
Grandpa Zhong: ...
"Couldn't you just buy one for your grandpa yourself?!"
Zhong Yan: "Didn't we already buy it?"
"You only bought it because Xiaoxi wanted it! If Xiaoxi hadn't wanted it, you wouldn't have bought it either?!"
Zhong Yan: ...
Zhong Yan persuaded her grandfather, "Anyway, the final destination is shopping, so it doesn't matter. Come on, Grandpa, have some food, and I'll get you a big chicken leg!"
Grandpa Zhong: You look like a big chicken leg to me!
Grandpa Zhong snorted, picked up the bowl, and took the big chicken leg from his grandson.
He looked down and continued sending WeChat messages in the group: "In this group of four, two people have grandfather-themed trench coats, and two don't. Who are they?"
Mu Feng: ...
Kang Chi: ...
Pei Ying:......
Two minutes later, Kang Cong and Pei Liang each received a WeChat message from their grandfather.
Kang Chi: [Have you and Xiao Xi been having a fight lately?]
Pei Ying: [It's getting cold.]
Kang Cong: ? ? ?
Pei Liang: ? ? ?
The two men looked at their grandfather's WeChat message and were completely baffled.
What does that mean?
Kang Cong: How did he and Ye Qingxi have a falling out? Didn't they just have a pleasant chat?
Pei Liang: So what? It's getting cold, is the Wang family going bankrupt? Let the Wang family go, it's already a miracle that it's still alive.
Pei Liang and Kang Cong sighed and began replying to their grandfather's WeChat messages.
After finishing their meal, Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng prepared to return to their room.
When they reached the top of the stairs, Ye Qingxi said to Qin Cheng, "You go back first, I'll come find you in a bit."
"Okay," Qin Cheng said.
Ye Qingxi went upstairs, entered his bedroom, and picked up the trench coat he had bought for Qin Cheng.
He carried the bag containing the trench coat to Qin Cheng's bedroom door, hid the bag behind his back, and knocked on the door.
Qin Cheng quickly opened the door for him and stepped aside to let him in.
However, Ye Qingxi did not go in. He looked at Qin Cheng and said to him, "You gave me chocolates, so I have a gift for you too."
Qin Cheng was pleasantly surprised.
He even got a gift?
He asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly giving me a gift?"
Ye Qingxi mimicked him, saying, "I just wanted to give it to you."
Qin Cheng laughed.
He thought: The two of them really are on the same wavelength.
"What are you going to give me?" His voice was as gentle as the moonlight on a spring night.
Ye Qingxi said playfully, "Guess~"
Qin Cheng thought for a moment and guessed, "A watch?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head.
"flower?"
Ye Qingxi continued to shake her head.
"It can't be chocolate too, can it?"
"Of course not."
"tie?"
"You want a tie?" Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled. "You don't usually wear one."
Qin Cheng: ...He's just guessing.
"I can't guess," Qin Cheng said honestly.
Ye Qingxi then pulled out the bag she had hidden behind her back. "Here, I bought you a trench coat."
"The season is about to change, so I bought you a coat in advance. Try it on and see if it fits."
Qin Cheng was surprised that he would buy him everyday clothes, and in an instant, he felt even more delighted.
He quickly took it, not caring that he was wearing pajamas, and put it on.
It has to be said that good-looking people look good in anything.
Even his bizarre combination of pajamas and a trench coat gave him a casual style.
Ye Qingxi looked him over, then made him turn his back, and finally said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, my taste is pretty good."
Qin Cheng thought so too.
He looked at the clothes he was wearing, then at himself in the full-length mirror, and felt that no trench coat had ever fit him so well.
"Didn't you buy one for yourself?" he asked.
"I bought it," Ye Qingxi said. "It's about the same size as yours."
Qin Cheng smiled again, "Couple's style?"
Ye Qingxi: ...I guess you could say that, though.
Qin Cheng asked curiously, "I want to see."
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingxi turned around and prepared to go back to her room to get his pajamas.
However, Qin Cheng grabbed his hand.
Ye Qingxi turned his head in confusion. Qin Cheng grasped his hand and said, "I'll go with you."
"Oh," Ye Qingxi replied.
Yet, a strange joy welled up inside me that I hadn't felt before.
He and Qin Cheng went upstairs hand in hand.
Ye Qingxi went into her walk-in closet, took out her trench coat, and put it on.
The two trench coats are similar in style.
Qin Cheng's was simpler, while his was slightly more like a cloak.
Qin Cheng is dressed in black, while he is dressed in navy blue.
Ye Qingxi stood next to Qin Cheng, looking at the two of them in the mirror. To be honest, they were quite a good match.
Thinking about this, he felt a little embarrassed. Who would admit to being paired with someone else?
But...they just look so good together!
They're a perfect match in terms of looks, height, and even their universities!
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxi felt a little embarrassed, but couldn't help staring at Qin Cheng and herself in the mirror.
Qin Cheng noticed that his face had turned slightly red and assumed it was from the heat, so he quickly said, "Alright, I've seen it clearly, you can take it off now."
Ye Qingxi nodded, obediently took off her trench coat, and hung it back up.
"You can take your clothes off too," he said, closing the wardrobe.
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng wasn't really ready to take his clothes off.
"Did you just try that chocolate?" he asked, changing the subject.
Ye Qingxi shook her head.
"Then you should try it and see if it's good."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi said, pulling him out of the dressing room.
He took the box of chocolates out of the small refrigerator, opened it, and took out a chocolate.
The chocolate's wrapper was layered with wrappers. As Ye Qingxi peeled off the wrappers, she complained about the excessive packaging, wondering how much more overpriced it was.
However, when he put the chocolate in his mouth, he realized that it was no wonder it was so heavily packaged; the taste certainly deserved to be presented in such an exquisite way.
He quickly took one and placed it in Qin Cheng's hand.
"You eat it," he said. "It's quite delicious."
Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng slowly unwrapped the packaging paper.
But he didn't eat it; instead, he put the chocolate to Ye Qingxi's lips.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi looked into his gentle eyes, lowered her head, and took a bite.
This one tastes better.
It wasn't because Qin Cheng fed him, but because this one contained nuts. Ye Qingxi always liked chocolates with nuts or raisins in them.
He felt that eating it this way would be less monotonous and more layered.
Of course, Ye Qingxi thought that he was quite happy when Qin Cheng fed him.
So he turned around, took another one, peeled it himself, raised his hand, and fed it to Qin Cheng's mouth.
Qin Cheng looked into his bright eyes, did not refuse, and lowered his head to eat the chocolate in his hand.
"Is it delicious?" Ye Qingxi asked.
Qin Cheng stared at him and silently nodded.
Feeling his unwavering gaze, Ye Qingxi felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with the chocolate wrapper in her hand.
As he played, he slowly began to fold the wrapping paper in his hand.
Finally, it was folded into a heart shape and put into Qin Cheng's coat pocket.
Ye Qingxi raised her head and smiled at the person in front of her.
Qin Cheng's heart started pounding almost uncontrollably.
"Can I kiss you?" He looked at Ye Qingxi, his heart trembling.
Ye Qingxi paused for a moment, then silently closed her eyes.
He could taste the sweet chocolate flavor.
Just like what he was saying, it lingered on their lips, like drinking a glass of fine wine, like boiling a pot of chocolate.
Qin Cheng released his hand, and his lips slowly left Qin Cheng's lips.
Ye Qingxi lowered her head, blinked, and gently pursed her lips without making a sound.
That night, Qin Cheng naturally continued to sleep in Ye Qingxi's bedroom.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sleep in the trench coat, he would have loved to sleep in the trench coat that Ye Qingxi gave him.
He carefully folded the trench coat Ye Qingxi had given him, placed it on the sofa, and then put it back in his walk-in closet the next morning before leaving.
Qin Cheng began to hope for a drop in temperature, but not rain. Ye Qingxi disliked rain, so she just wanted the temperature to drop.
But after waiting for two days, the temperature still hadn't dropped, and Mu Shaowu returned.
After getting off the plane, he went straight to Mu Feng's place. He hadn't even gone home yet; he came to see his beloved son first.
Ye Qingxi was naturally very happy to see him.
"Dad!" he called out happily.
Mu Shaowu then opened his arms.
Ye Qingxi readily jumped into his arms and hugged him.
Standing beside Mu Shaowu, Feng Que watched the two of them embrace tenderly and felt that at this moment, neither Mu Shaowu nor Ye Qingxi seemed like a typical Chinese father and son.
Chinese people are generally more reserved.
They are even less accustomed to expressing their emotions.
Especially after one grows up, and after both people are adults.
Young children can freely express their feelings by saying "Dad, I love you," but adults find it difficult to say those six words so easily.
It's not that I don't like it anymore, but that I've grown up and become more reserved with my emotions, so I'm embarrassed to act like I did when I was a child.
But Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu were clearly not like that.
It's probably because Mu Shaowu would always say things to Ye Qingxi like, "Daddy misses you so much," "You're Daddy's little darling," or "What, you've grown up and I can't hug you anymore? Come here, let Daddy give you a hug."
So Ye Qingxi would still rush towards Mu Shaowu without any hesitation, and say to him, "I miss you so much," and "Dad, I love you so much."
Their love for each other is always evident.
As Feng Que was watching, he saw Ye Qingxi release Mu Shaowu, walk up to him, and give him a very gentle hug.
I miss you too, Daddy.
Feng Que laughed, "I miss you too."
He said, "This time I was away for a longer period of time, but it won't happen again next time."
"It's alright," Ye Qingxi said. "It's work, after all."
"That's right." Mu Shaowu teased him, "You have your grandfather, so naturally you don't need a father?"
Ye Qingxi was about to reply to him: No.
Then he heard his grandfather's cool voice, "What? You have a problem with that?"
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Mu Shaowu turned to look at his elderly father. "No, why did you suddenly appear?"
Mu Shaowu smiled; how could he dare to have any objections?
He had no objections.
So when Qin Cheng came back from work, he saw his grandfather, his second uncle, and his second uncle's husband sitting on the sofa at home.
Qin Cheng: !!!
No, how did we get back here?
That's so fast!
Doesn't this mean that he and Ye Qingxi can no longer live under the same roof or sleep in the same bed?
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng looked at his handsome, gentle second uncle, who was smiling broadly.
The greatest distance in the world is not between life and death, but between him on this side and his second uncle on the other side!
