Chapter 79: Extra: Past Events
After coming out of the ice cream shop, Qi Xing picked up an ice cream cone of a different flavor in each hand and ate it to his heart's content while his parents were away.
He stood on the side of the road licking his ice cream, waiting for his family's driver to pick him up, looking around curiously.
This was the high school section of the school. It was just time to get out of school and there were people everywhere. As an elementary school student, he walked around two streets just to get a bite to eat.
It was very hot and the child was shaking his head, feeling that it was boring. As he glanced around boredly, he noticed another person not far ahead.
A high school boy was leaning against a bicycle, looking down at his phone, his face expressionless and cold.
Qi Xing stared at the man carelessly, but what he was thinking in his heart was, this older brother is so handsome.
Unlike those other high school boys who were covered in sweat and always wanted to show off their fists to scare people, the big brother in front of him was clean and looked like the characters who came out of the comics he had read, even his hair was glowing.
The child licked the cream at the corner of his mouth, and walked over without any awareness that an elementary school student and a high school student couldn't be friends.
"Big Brother——"
Hearing the long, clear childish voice, Ye Xingzhou looked up and saw a child in his teens in front of him, looking at him with a bright smile: "Big brother, you are so handsome, can I be your friend?"
Ye Xingzhou frowned slightly, his expression remained cold, and he said nothing.
The kid held the ice cream in his hand in front of him and said, "Please have this, strawberry flavor."
Ye Xingzhou's gaze fell on the ice cream that had already melted a little, and he paused.
No one knew where this kid came from, maybe it was a prank instigated by someone. Ye Xingzhou never thought that children were necessarily innocent, at least he himself had never been innocent.
Especially the child in front of me, who looks like a porcelain doll, but has a perverse face. Who knows if he is a little devil.
Seeing that the older brother was staring at his ice cream without moving, Qi Xing thought that he wanted to eat it but was too embarrassed to do so, so he enthusiastically pushed some more of the ice cream forward and simply stuffed it into his hand: "Here you go."
When his hand was pinched, Ye Xingzhou's eyes showed a flash of impatience and his brows furrowed even tighter.
The melted cream flowed onto his fingers, making him feel disgusted. He threw the ice cream into the trash can beside him with a gloomy face.
"Stay away from me." Ye Xingzhou's tone was vicious.
The child was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Why did you throw it away? You big bad guy, if you didn't want it, that's fine, why did you throw it away? And you were mean to me, why are you so mean to me? What's so great about that? You have to compensate me for my ice cream!"
As expected, he is still an annoying and arrogant high school boy!
When Lin Zhinian came out of the bookstore, he saw Ye Xingzhou wiping his hands with a tissue with his head down with an unhappy look on his face. In front of him was a child in an elementary school uniform, who was glaring at him angrily with red eyes and yelling at him to compensate for the ice cream, but Ye Xingzhou ignored him.
This scene made Lin Zhinian a little confused. He called Ye Xingzhou, who glanced at him and got on the car: "Let's go."
He rode out first. When Qi Xing saw the man running away, he got even angrier: "Don't run away! You are bullying a child. You have no shame!"
He chased for a few steps, but of course he couldn't catch up, so he stopped panting, stamping his feet.
Lin Zhinian looked at him several times, but said nothing and followed him on his bike.
The kid was upset about this for a few hours, then soon forgot about it.
The next time he saw the good-looking but annoying high school boy was a week later. He was greedy after school and took a detour to the high school to buy some snacks. As he was walking through the park, he happened to run into a group of high school students fighting inside.
Qi Xingtian loves to watch the fun and is not afraid of trouble. Others would run as far away as possible when encountering such a scene, but he stood aside and watched with a lollipop in his mouth.
It was called a gang fight, but in fact it was a fight between the many and the few. Seven or eight people surrounded and beat up one person, but the one being beaten was very strong. He was not knocked down even though he was outnumbered. Although he had bruises on his face, he was not at a disadvantage.
Qi Xing recognized at a glance that the person who was beaten was the bad guy who threw his ice cream last time. He felt a little gloating and watched the fun even more excitedly.
Ye Xingzhou threw punch after punch with great ferocity. Three of the eight opponents had been beaten to the point where they could not get up. He himself was not much better off as he was hit by the wooden stick in the opponent's hand. His ribs were probably broken and he was holding on by his last breath.
After licking the lollipop, the kid thought that if he continued to fight the bad guy, his face would be disfigured. He rolled his eyes and shouted, "Uncle police, there's a fight going on here!"
The stick was about to hit Ye Xingzhou on the back of the head, but Ye Xingzhou snatched it away. He kicked the man who attacked him to the ground and hit him with the stick.
Seven or eight pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. Qi Xing shouted loudly toward the bushes: "Uncle police, here! They are still fighting!"
The thugs who surrounded and beat Ye Xingzhou looked at each other, but their vision was blocked by the bushes and they had no idea whether what Qi Xing said was true or not. They felt guilty and hesitated for a few seconds. Then they got up and retreated in another direction, disappearing in a flash.
Of course there was no police. The child walked forward, raised his head and stretched out his hand to Ye Xingzhou, saying aggressively: "You have to pay for my ice cream!"
Ye Xingzhou ignored him completely, picked up the schoolbag and school uniform that he had thrown on the ground, threw them on one shoulder, and walked away.
"Big bad guy!" Qi Xing was furious. He shouldn't have saved this bad guy. It would be best if he was disfigured!
Ye Xingzhou had no reaction and walked away.
-
One day, Qi Xing was bored and found a yellowed high school graduation group photo from Ye Xingzhou's old book. He saw Ye Xingzhou at the first sight. He was the tallest, coldest-faced but also the most handsome one at the edge of the last row. It could not be anyone else but Ye Xingzhou.
He stared at the slightly immature but still pretentious Ye Xingzhou in the photo for a while, and suddenly said, "Oh, godfather, have I seen you before?"
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes, Qi Xing looked at him, then looked down at the photo. Ye Xingzhou's hair was shorter and his skin was whiter in high school. His appearance had not changed much, but if he hadn't seen the school uniform on him, Qi Xing would have forgotten that he was just an asshole whom he had only seen twice when he was a child.
he:"……"
"When I was in elementary school, I bought ice cream at the high school gate and fell in love with a good-looking bastard. I wanted to treat him to ice cream, but he didn't appreciate it. He threw my ice cream away and was mean to me." Qi Xing said faintly.
Ye Xingzhou looked calm: "Yeah."
Qi Xing: "Then I saw him fighting with someone in the park. I helped him scare the guy who beat him away, but he still ignored me and walked away without even saying thank you. Shouldn't I just meddle in this kind of bastard's business and let him get beaten up?"
Ye Xingzhou still nodded: "Yeah."
Qi Xing: “…”
It turned out to be Ye Xingzhou? It was actually Ye Xingzhou?
"Asshole, did you know this a long time ago?"
Ye Xingzhou did know it, but not too early. Once when he went to Qi Xing's parents' house for dinner, his mother showed him photos of Qi Xing when he was a child. He only flipped through a few of them before he remembered that the arrogant and conceited child at that time turned out to be Qi Xing.
Things in the world are often so mysterious. It turns out that they had really seen it a long time ago, although it was not a particularly memorable memory.
Qi Xing was unhappy when he saw his tacit attitude, so he climbed on top of him and grabbed his collar: "Why are you so annoying? Not only do you not appreciate the kindness shown to you, but you also put on a sour face. No wonder you have no friends."
Ye Xingzhou leaned back into the sofa, tilted his head slightly to look at him, and asked jokingly, "Are you trying to show your affection to me?"
"What else?" Qi Xing poked him angrily, "I praised your good looks, wanted to be your friend, and gave you ice cream. If that's not a show of goodwill, what is it?"
Ye Xingzhou: "You are a primary school student who knows how to be smooth-talking. The ice cream you gave me was almost melted. Do you call that a gesture of goodwill?"
Qi Xing: "...How can a child's true words be considered glib? What's wrong with melted ice cream? It's still ice cream. Why do you ask so much of a primary school student? I was just trying to show my affection to you. If you think I'm trying to woo you, that's fine."
Ye Xingzhou looked at him with sarcasm: "You are only an elementary school student and you have learned how to chase men. You are quite capable."
Qi Xing clenched his fist: "You want to fight, don't you?"
Ye Xingzhou laughed out loud, which was rare. Qi Xing glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing," Ye Xingzhou looked at him and said slowly, "He was very cute when he was young. He was really a baby. What a pity."
Qi Xing felt awkward because of what he said: "You are a pervert."
He was still unhappy. This baby was so cute, but Ye Xingzhou, this bastard, was so mean to him. If Ye Xingzhou had a better attitude at that time, wouldn't they have become friends long ago?
"Qi Xing," Ye Xingzhou saw through his thoughts and reminded him, "High school students won't make friends with elementary school students. You are forcing them."
Qi Xing sneered: "High school students won't make friends with elementary school students, but a thirty-year-old man will force himself on a boy in his early twenties."
Ye Xingzhou was not ashamed: "What's the problem?"
——How shameless.
Qi Xing was depressed for a while, and whispered: "Ye Xingzhou, actually you are the one who enlightened me about my sexual orientation."
Although he was ignorant at that time, as a primary school student, if he had not been tempted by this person's "beauty", he would not have dared to step forward and show his affection. He would only get angry and embarrassed after being rejected.
Unfortunately, the little flame of sexual awakening was extinguished as soon as it started. Not only that, from then on he subconsciously kept his distance from Ye Xingzhou, a pretentious and cool guy. It was obvious that at the beginning, he actually liked Ye Xingzhou.
Ye Xingzhou said nothing. He pressed the back of his head, pushed him towards himself, and kissed him.
Of course there are regrets. It turns out that Qi Xing had appeared and helped him during the period when he was most isolated and helpless. Apart from Qi Xing, there was no one else.
Fortunately, they finally met, neither too early nor too late, and did not miss too much, and there will be more in the future.
