It's no wonder that Tao Qing suspected Tao Xi. After all, this girl was so cunning and sometimes made Tao Qing feel that it was really sad that she was so naive.

"I used to suspect that Xiaoxi and I might not be biological siblings." Tao Qing's words were filled with sadness, and the faint sigh sounded particularly sad to Qi Yan. With a

flickering look in his eyes, Qi Yan thought Tao Qing remembered something about the unhappiness between the families. However...

"She is so bad, but I am so kind. This makes me wonder if she has received a bad education..."

Qi Yan: "..." So are you praising yourself or your sister?

After eating and washing up, Qi Yan lay on the bed. Tao Qing lived on the sofa in the living room outside, and Qi Yan just found two quilts and a pillow for him. The sofa is not big, but fortunately it is a long sofa, so Tao Qing will not sleep uncomfortably.

Lying on the bed, Qi Yan couldn't fall asleep even though there was suddenly another person in the room. He raised his head slightly and could see Tao Qing's arms resting behind his head.

Tao Qing's arms looked extra sturdy than usual. Even at night, Qi Yan could clearly see the strong muscles.

Qi Yan's red cheeks were concealed by the night, as if he remembered something. He lay back and turned over silently.

"Qi Yan?" Tao Qing outside suddenly called out, "Are you... asleep? I can't sleep. If you are not asleep either, do you want to chat together?"

Qi Yan was startled. Tao Qing must have heard his turning over just now. Although it felt awkward to talk about anything, Qi Yan still responded: "Yeah, I haven't slept yet... Let's chat for a while."

Tao Qing exhaled softly. Fortunately, the other party did not pretend to sleep... If that was the case, he would be heartbroken.

"Hey, do you feel any pain in the injured area after going to school these few days? In fact, I saw you walking unnaturally today."

"Much better..." Qi Yan was stunned for a moment when Tao Qing changed the subject.

Chatting is to talk about this kind of thing... Why was he so nervous just now!

Tao Qing pursed her lips and said, "How is your study going? Can you catch up after missing classes for a week? I think the tutoring I gave you should just be able to catch up with the current course schedule."

"Yeah, just caught up." Qi Yan answered truthfully. He really didn't understand what Tao Qing wanted to ask.

Tao Qing pursed her lips again, and after a long time, she said softly, "Qi Yan, are you asleep?"

Qi Yan blinked and suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, because Tao Qing was really funny like this.

"Tao Qing." Qi Yan sat up and looked at the sofa outside: "Just ask whatever you want to ask, I'm listening."

"Ah..." Tao Qing also sat up and looked over here, just meeting Qi Yan's gaze: "Why did you suddenly get up..."

"Because I want to chat with you." Qi Yan tilted his head and said innocently: "It feels like you have something you need to ask, so you become serious for no reason."

"Ah, no need to be serious!" Tao Qing begged for mercy with an embarrassed face: "I, I just want to ask casually..." "

Then ask." Qi Yan nodded at him, as if to encourage him: "You can ask casually."

"...The boy who was with you today?" Tao Qing asked tentatively, and seeing that Qi Yan did not change his expression, he asked the rest: "Is he your...friend?"

"No." Qi Yan answered quickly: "He is my senior, he treats me very well."

"But, but he obviously confessed to you today..." Tao Qing said in a very entangled tone: "I heard it all...ah, don't get me wrong, I just heard a little bit, and I happened to hear it when I was about to go in to find you."

"He confessed to me. I didn't expect it...I wanted to confess to him, but he said it first."

"Confess what?!" Tao Qing's ears trembled, and he looked over quickly.

Qi Yan met Tao Qing's gaze, turned away embarrassedly, and murmured; "Confess...I once liked him."

"What--?!" Tao Qing suddenly lost his composure, and immediately threw off the quilt and jumped off the sofa.

Qi Yan was startled when he saw him rushing over, and quickly leaned back, but there was a wall behind him.

Leaning against the wall, he saw Tao Qing walk over in two or three steps and sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Don't like him!"

Qi Yan: "..." Such a childish warning.

Tao Qing rubbed her hair irritably: "Don't like him, what's so good about him, you are much better than him!"

Qi Yan still stared at him blankly until Tao Qing was frightened by his stare.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Listen to me." Tao Qing tried to find some bad things in Meng Xinghe: "Look at the way he talks, smiling, he must have bad intentions!"

Qi Yan was not as irritable as in the evening. He was stunned for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha... Tao Qing, you are really funny..."

"Why are you laughing at me..." Tao Qing hung his head, and the tips of his ears exposed to the air were red.

"You didn't even listen to what I said, why did you react so strongly?" Qi Yan smiled and shook his head: "I want to tell him that although I liked him before, and even some of the things I did may have caused him to have some illusions, but now, I don't like him anymore."

His voice became much calmer, with an unprecedented firmness: "I want to apologize to him, sorry for disturbing him before."

After Qi Yan's words fell, the air around him seemed to stop flowing. Tao Qing looked up at Qi Yan in surprise, and Qi Yan also looked at him.

The two looked at each other, as if there was something incomprehensible flowing in them, but after looking carefully, they found it so easy to understand.

"Qi Yan..."

Tao Qing murmured, unconsciously looking in the direction of Qi Yan.

Seeing Tao Qing's handsome face getting closer and closer, and his kind eyes shining brightly under the moonlight, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Their lips touched, leaving no space between them. Tao Qing kissed Qi Yan in ecstasy, and Qi Yan slowly kissed back when he was moved.

A raging fire? No, it was just a kiss of joy as they expressed their feelings to each other.

[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +20, current favorability: 90]

No matter who the object is, as long as there is love, nothing will be a problem.

Qi Yan didn't confess, and neither did Tao Qing, but the two were somehow connected by an invisible thread.

Qi Yan and Tao Qing fell asleep in each other's arms, without doing anything. The next morning, they looked at each other and blushed.

However, some relationships were settled. Although they didn't say it out loud, they both knew it.

"I will go and make it clear to my senior today."

Qi Yan promised Tao Qing before leaving.
