Chapter 73 Love You
For the next half month, Qi Xing stayed with Ye Xingzhou as usual and hung out with him. He thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect that the time for him to part with Ye Xingzhou would come so soon, just half a month later.
The start time of this course was at the end of May. With the help of Mr. Chen’s people, he completed all the procedures in two weeks and arrived just in time.
Qi Xing returned home the night before boarding the flight to pack some luggage.
In fact, there was nothing to pack. When he got there, there would be a housekeeper arranged by his father to take care of his daily life. He just had to study peacefully.
New messages kept coming into his cell phone. They were all from his bad friends, asking him to go out for one last drink to have some fun. Qi Xing was not in the mood as he had already had the farewell dinner two days before. It didn't matter whether he drank the wine or not. Yang Kaiming and his friends couldn't spit out any ivory from their dog mouths. They would only ask him to stay together until he became rich. Qi Xing propped up his head and thought, he was rich enough now, but it was a pity that he would soon have to enter the sea of suffering to become an ascetic monk. His future was bleak.
When Ye Xingzhou's message came in, Qi Xing had just returned from the bathroom after taking a shower.
"Don't go out tonight, just rest at home."
Qi Xing casually replied: "Even if I go out to play, you can't control it."
Ye Xingzhou flew to Beijing on a business trip this morning to attend a very important business event sponsored by the government. He will not be back until the day after tomorrow. Originally, he planned to arrange for his subordinates to go on his behalf, but when Qi Xing found out, he directly drove the person away.
It was better that Ye Xingzhou wasn't here, Qi Xing thought. He didn't want Ye Xingzhou to see him off at the airport at all. Otherwise, if he couldn't hold back his tears, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go back to his grandmother's house?
He's just going to be gone for a year or two, it's not a life-and-death separation, and he doesn't want to make it a life-and-death separation.
"Go to the balcony and take a look."
Seeing this, Qi Xing was a little confused and pushed the door open and walked out to the balcony: "What are you looking at?"
His room faces the Huai River. It is eight o'clock in the evening, when the lights in the cities on both sides of the river are the most prosperous.
"look up."
A new message came in.
Qi Xing subconsciously looked up.
At exactly eight o'clock, subtitles suddenly appeared on the flashing LED lights outside the tallest skyscraper in the city across the river.
"Love you"
Qi Xing was stunned.
The surrounding background lights kept changing colors, and the two words always floated above, shining brightly.
His mother's sighing voice could be faintly heard from the other side of the balcony connected to the living room, "I wonder where this youngster from is spending so much money to confess his love, why doesn't he even write his name?" Qi Xing came back to his senses and smiled.
He replied: "Father, you are so unsophisticated, isn't that unbearable?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Be happy."
Well, Qi Xing thought, this bastard might have the ability to read minds, so he could guess that he was in a bad mood.
He picked up the phone and dialed it directly. After only one ring, the other party picked up: "Ye Xingzhou, what time will this light last?"
Ye Xingzhou: "The lights will be turned off at twelve o'clock."
Qi Xing: “Oh.”
"Where are you now?"
"I just finished a cocktail party and am on my way back to my residence."
"Oh, see you next time then."
The next time would have to wait a year and a half. Ye Xingzhou reminded him: "If you don't want me to see you off, cheer up."
Qi Xing: "Don't come here."
Otherwise, he would cry until the Huai River dried up, and this bastard would laugh at him for the rest of his life.
Ye Xingzhou: "Well, I won't go."
After that, the phone was not hung up the whole night. They chatted about this and that until the phone was too hot to hold. When Qi Xing fell into a drowsy sleep, Ye Xingzhou's voice was still in his ears.
Before the plane landed, Qi Xing, who had been sleeping all the way, leaned over the window and looked down. The city scene under the clouds was faintly visible.
Ye Xingzhou had also lived in this country for several years, so because of this, he felt less resistant.
Qi Xing's ordinary study abroad life began from that day on. He could not be said to have worked hard, but in order to get his degree as soon as possible and go back to see Ye Xingzhou, he did work very hard.
I have lived for about twenty years, and I have been doing nothing in the past. Now it is finally time for me to work hard and make progress.
Whenever he walked out of the school library late at night, or stayed up all night to do group assignments or write papers, Qi Xing couldn't help but sigh that the power of love is truly great.
His classmates came from all over the world, including second-generation and nth-generation people like him, successful entrepreneurs, and outstanding industry elites. Qi Xing could often see the shadow of Ye Xingzhou in these people, but none of them were Ye Xingzhou.
If I have to say, Ye Xingzhou is unique, whether he is a powerful figure in the business world or a man who loses control and goes crazy for himself but is finally willing to be tolerant and forgiving.
Only him.
In the second month after arriving here, a classmate confessed his love to Qi Xing. The other party was a very outstanding man, a banker in his early thirties, who was both an nth generation and a self-made man. The handsome and romantic foreign man, his blue eyes seemed to hide deep affection when he spoke seriously. Qi Xing looked at him, but what came to his mind was another pair of deep and dark eyes. That person always left his indifference outside, and only gave him vitality and warmth.
The other party enthusiastically invited him on a date. He raised his left hand and shook it, letting people see the ring on his ring finger clearly. He smiled brightly and said, "Sorry, I'm already married. My husband is very good and I love him very much."
There was a fleeting surprise in the man's eyes, and then there was immense regret.
Perhaps outsiders don’t understand, he is only 24 years old and his life has just started, but he can easily identify someone.
The elders asked him and Ye Xingzhou to separate and think calmly, but Qi Xing felt that the calmer he was and the more he saw, the clearer he would understand that Ye Xingzhou was the best and most suitable for him.
They are together, and they complement each other.
In the third month here, Qi Xing has gradually begun to adapt to the high-intensity study rhythm. Although he would complain to Ye Xingzhou that it was too hard and he didn't want to study, his performance in class was very good and his test scores were among the best.
Ye Xingzhou would occasionally give him some pointers during casual chats to help him open his mind. Qi Xing was able to persevere in reading, largely due to Ye Xingzhou's encouragement.
"Your hair is very long, remember to get a haircut when you have time."
When a video call was about to end, Ye Xingzhou suddenly reminded him.
Qi Xing tilted his head and glanced at the mirror next to him. His hair was not short to begin with, and it had some natural curls. After not having it cut for a few months, it was almost shoulder-length and could be tied up.
"No wonder when I went to the bar with my classmates last night, the doorman stopped me and insisted on checking my ID. After checking it, he still didn't believe it and thought I was an underage girl."
It doesn't matter that he is a minor, they even treat him as a little girl. Qi Xing sometimes really doubts whether there is something wrong with these foreigners' eyes as they can see so wrong.
"Do you still have time to go to the bar?" Ye Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, very good at grasping the key points.
Qi Xing: "I didn't even drink two sips of alcohol in a decent bar or at a classmate gathering. They laughed at me for being an underage girl and only gave me drinks."
Ye Xingzhou: "It seems like he gets along well with his classmates."
Qi Xing smiled and said, "What can I do? I have to make some friends. Otherwise, I will be bored to death every day, and you can't come to accompany me."
After saying this, they were silent for a while. Ye Xingzhou spoke first: "Be patient, time flies."
Qi Xingxin said that he didn't feel that time passed quickly at all, it was more like a day like a year.
Ye Xingzhou: "Be obedient."
Qi Xing: "You can't do anything to me if I don't obey..."
Ye Xingzhou: "Baby, be obedient."
Qi Xing was speechless for a moment. Ye Xingzhou, that bastard, used these two words to tease him every time and said them in a serious manner. His scalp went numb when he heard them and the capillaries on his face began to expand.
"Shut up."
This baby doesn't want to pay attention to you anymore.
It took Qi Xing a long time to squeeze out these words, but his hand had already reached the end button, and he finally reminded him: "Remember to pick up the package tomorrow."
The package sent from the UK arrived at Ye Xingzhou's home on time the next day. It was a Chinese Valentine's Day gift and a birthday gift, a watch and a pair of underwear.
The watch is a pair with the one Qi Xing wears himself, and the underwear is also a pair with the one Qi Xing wears himself.
There were two letters outlined in black silk thread on the edge of the extremely flashy underwear. They were Qi Xing's name, and there was a note attached.
"Father, happy birthday and Chinese Valentine's Day. Remember to wear it for me next time."
Ye Xingzhou laughed, feeling completely helpless.
Although they can't meet each other, they can occasionally play a video chat when they feel like it. Qi Xing has always been adventurous and likes to try new things, and Ye Xingzhou is happy to cooperate.
After all, he was the one who benefited most from Qi Xing's tricks in the end.
During the Christmas holidays, Qi Xing and several classmates went to another nearby city for a trip.
On the way back home in the car after a social event at night, Ye Xingzhou received the photos he sent him, the familiar red brick and red wall building and the sycamore tree next to it.
Qi Xing asked him: "Have you ever taken classes in this teaching building before?"
Ye Xingzhou raised his hand and loosened his tie. The moment he received Qi Xing's message, all the noise and filth were shut out of his world.
"Why did you go here?"
Qi Xing: "I just wanted to come and take a look."
He wanted to visit all the places Ye Xingzhou had been to before.
After replying to this message, Qi Xing asked his classmates to help him take a photo with the sycamore tree and the red wall behind him. The photo was taken very well, but it was a pity that they were in the same space for more than ten years.
Qi Xing thought somewhat pretentiously that sometimes he envied Teacher Lin. After all, he never had the chance to meet Ye Xingzhou when he was a teenager. But he was also grateful to Teacher Lin for giving him the opportunity to meet the current Ye Xingzhou.
He sent the photo he had just taken to Ye Xingzhou, and decided to ask Ye Xingzhou to take a photo together next time he had the chance, or to go back and look for photos of Ye Xingzhou when he was a teenager and photoshop them in.
Qi Xing's face was raised and his eyes were bright in the photo. Ye Xingzhou stared at it for a moment and replied, "It's a good photo."
Qi Xing was very happy. He didn't even need to say anything, because Ye Xingzhou definitely knew what he was thinking.
Ye Xingzhou opened the calendar, checked the time, and completely relaxed.
The Chinese New Year came soon after Christmas. Qi Xing didn’t have a holiday during the Spring Festival, so his parents flew to the UK to accompany him.
At noon, Qi Ronghua went into the kitchen and prepared the New Year's Eve dinner himself. Qi Xing hid in the room and called Ye Xingzhou, asking him if he would be alone again this year to celebrate the New Year.
"On the plane."
Ye Xingzhou's answer was beyond Qi Xing's expectation: "You are on a plane, where are you going?"
"Going abroad to discuss business." Ye Xingzhou said casually.
Qi Xing: "Today? Today is Chinese New Year..."
Ye Xingzhou: "So we are going abroad to discuss it."
Qi Xing's mind moved slightly, and a vague idea came to his mind. He did not ask which country Ye Xingzhou was going to: "Then you should rest first, and call me after you get off the plane."
After that, he was restless for the whole afternoon, checking his phone from time to time until nightfall.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Ye Xingzhou called: "Qi Xing."
"Where are you?" Qi Xing asked.
Ye Xingzhou chuckled: "Happy New Year, go to the window and take a look."
Qi Xing walked quickly to the window, and the moment he looked up, fireworks suddenly shot up into the sky from the distant mountain, exploding brilliantly under the inky night sky.
The fireworks are bright, shining like shooting stars and pouring like the Milky Way.
Qi Xing was stunned for half a minute, and the person on the other end of the phone asked, "Does it look good?"
Qi Xing: "Did you arrange this?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Yeah, I love you too."
Qi Xing took a deep breath: "...Where are you?"
"Don't ask," Ye Xingzhou reminded him, "If you don't want to persist for so long and end up in vain, don't ask."
Qi Xing was stunned and speechless. If Ye Xingzhou told him, he might really run out to meet him regardless of anything, just like before.
The fireworks on the mountain continued to rain, and the colorful colors reflected in Qi Xing's eyes. His agitated emotions gradually calmed down: "What time will it be this time?"
Ye Xingzhou: "It's one in the morning. The rules say it can only be played this late."
Qi Xing smiled: "Are you really here to discuss business with someone? Are you here just to set off fireworks for me?"
“Both.”
"Ye Xingzhou, I used to think you didn't understand romance, but it seems like it was my fault."
"Um."
"make persistent efforts."
No matter how cold-blooded a person is, once he falls in love, he will become different.
It just depends on whether there is such a person who can make him fall in love.
If Qi Xingxing were to give his evaluation, the tyrant's romance is a bit tacky, but he really likes it.
"Why do I feel like you're better at coaxing people than before?"
Qi Xing thought about it and concluded that it was probably after he left home to go to school that Ye Xingzhou finally became frank and honest and stopped competing with him all the time.
Accompanying him day and night is loving him, running thousands of miles to set off fireworks for him is loving him, and not wanting his hard work to go to waste and enduring not meeting him is also loving him.
Ye Xingzhou truly meant what he meant when he said "I love you".
"Are you happy today?" Ye Xingzhou asked.
Hearing this, Qi Xing suddenly understood that all Ye Xingzhou did was to make him happy and cheerful during the past year and a half here.
"Well, about this," he stared at the grand fireworks that were still blooming, with a smile in his eyes, "I am quite happy."
Even though they couldn't meet, they stood under the same night sky and watched the same fireworks. At this moment, he finally let go.
