The sound of wind blowing through the trees rustled, and the cold wind blew on Qi Yan, but it was not as cold as the coldness in his heart.

Xiao Yi was not used to the silence along the way, because he could clearly feel the breath on the back of the person next to him.

"Qi Yan, why are you sad?" Xiao Yi looked into the distance and asked softly.

Qi Yan was stunned and shook his head to deny: "No. I'm not sad..."

"Don't lie to me." Xiao Yi pointed out: "You are sad."

Qi Yan stopped talking, he pursed his lips, lowered his head and looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, stepped on them, and there was a creaking sound.

Infinite silence returned between the two of them, and the atmosphere was filled with awkwardness for a while.

"Okay, I'm sad." Qi Yan couldn't help but compromise: "I, I thought..."

"What did you think?" Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with a smile, and if you look closely, there is a hint of cunning.

Qi Yan hesitated, his cheeks slightly red: "No, nothing..."

If he said it out loud, it would be even more awkward between the two of them. Qi Yan thought so, and hurriedly quickened his pace, missing the hurt look in Xiao Yi's eyes.

In a love, if both people are cautious about something, then even if there is a veil between the two people, it will be as difficult as a mountain.

Mother Qi bought some hot pot dishes and prepared to set up a hot pot on Qi Yan's small bar. Qi Yan followed behind with a cart. When he saw the big bottles of juice, his hands itched and he wanted to pick up one, but Mother Qi glared at him.

"You are so old and still drinking beverages! Don't you know it's bad for your health?"

She put the drink back silently, and an arm stretched out from behind and picked up the bottle of drink.

"Let's drink this today. Don't drink at home. It's even more harmful to your health."

Mother Qi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, boys should drink less. It's okay to drink some beverages."

Qi Yan: "..." Mom, you didn't act like that just now.

As soon as he turned around, he met Xiao Yi's soft gaze. Qi Yan's face, which had just calmed down, became red again. He quickly pushed the cart and followed Qi's mother.

Xiao Yi looked at his back, narrowed his eyes, and sighed softly. When will this stalemate end?

Qi Yan and Xiao Yi carried a bunch of vegetables. Originally, Qi's mother wanted Qi Yan to carry them all, but there were too many things. Xiao Yi helped to carry a lot, and Qi Yan was exhausted. His two arms seemed to fall off.

Xiao Yi looked at him, walked closer, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Give me some more."

"No!" Qi Yan shrank back and quickly took a few steps back: "No, no, I can do it myself..."

He looked at Xiao Yi with a wronged look, as if accusing him, "Why are you so close to me when you already have a girlfriend..."

He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but he held it back.

"Okay then."

They were about to get in the elevator, and Xiao Yi was not afraid that he would get tired if he walked a few more steps. He could just carry a few more bags when he got upstairs.

Qi's mother didn't see the little interaction between the two, but treated Xiao Yi very cordially, even more cordially than Qi Yan. After all, in Qi's mother's eyes, Xiao Yi was her son's "boss".

After returning to Qi Yan's small apartment, Qi's mother went to the kitchen to wash and pick vegetables. Qi Yan also helped, but was forced out by Qi's mother to chat with his "boss". Qi Yan turned on the TV and avoided Xiao Yi vaguely.

Half an hour later, Qi's mother called them over. The hot pot was already boiling, and the food inside was ready to eat. Qi's mother picked up a lot of meat and meatballs for Xiao Yi, and they chatted while eating.

"Xiao Yi, is your home here?"

"Yes, my parents live here. I rented an apartment by myself because I started my own business."

"Oh, that's okay. After all, we're at home. Even if we fail, we'll have someone to rely on."

"Yeah. I'm very happy living here and meeting a friend like Qi Yan."

"Oh, don't I know how capable this brat is?! You've given in to him a lot, haven't you?"

"No, no, Qi Yan is very loyal to his friends..."

Qi Yan was eating silently, feeling like crying. Mom, am I still your biological son?

Xiao Yi saw that he was eating so hard without saying a word, so he picked up a piece of meat and put it on his plate. Qi Yan ate it all up without thinking. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yi looking at him ambiguously, and his cheeks quickly turned red!

"I, I'm going to the bathroom!" After saying that, he put down his chopsticks and turned around and ran into the inner room.

From behind, he could vaguely hear Qi's mother's disapproving voice and Xiao Yi's meaningless persuasion.

After washing his face twice, Qi Yan relieved the heat on his face and looked at himself in the mirror.

His thick hair was cut in layers, and the light blue shirt collar perfectly set off his slender neck. His facial features were three-dimensional and stylish. Although he had grown older, he looked innocent, delicate and beautiful.

After unbuttoning two buttons of his shirt, revealing his delicate collarbone, Qi Yan looked at himself in the mirror and nodded.

——Well, he can try to seduce her!

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he was pulled over by a strong force. Before Qi Yan could scream, his mouth was covered by someone and he was pushed against the wall from behind.

Qi Yan stared, this scene seemed familiar...

Next to the bathroom was the bedroom, Qi Yan was held by the waist and pulled into the bedroom. With his back against the wall, Qi Yan looked at the man intently, who else could it be but Xiao Yi?

"Tsk, it's me."

Xiao Yi let go of his hand, and Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you doing? It's like this again..."

"How else can I be alone with you?" Xiao Yi smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped his nose: "Why are you always avoiding me?"

Qi Yan's eyes began to wander, and he didn't look at Xiao Yi: "I'm not avoiding you..."

"Then look into my eyes."

"No look..."

"Then you're avoiding me?"

"No hide..."

"Look into my eyes."

Qi Yan was annoyed by Xiao Yi, so he resigned himself to straightening his head and looking into his eyes...

As a result, in less than two seconds, Qi Yan's face turned red, and he could feel the heat himself.

Qi Yan, knowing that he was very embarrassed, held his mouth tightly and was about to cry: "Don't let me look into your eyes..."

"Qi Yan." Xiao Yi's voice was faint, without any ups and downs: "You like me, right?"

This was a statement, not a question.

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Qi Yan's face turned redder, he hesitated, but didn't know how to refute. Seeing

this, the light in the depths of Xiao Yi's eyes became brighter, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became more intense.

[Xiao Yi's favorability towards Qi Yan +15, current favorability: 90]

The reminder sound that had not sounded for a long time sounded, and Qi Yan knew that he had made the right move.

"If you like me, why don't you admit it?" Xiao Yi's mellow voice like red wine rang in his ears, which was particularly charming.

Qi Yan's expression suddenly became decadent. He pouted and said with a hint of complaint: "You, you have a girlfriend, right?"

Xiao Yi smiled: "I was just kidding you."
