Wen Qinxi seriously thought through this question and no matter how he tried to evaluate the situation from different angles he still came up with one answer. But how was he supposed to convey such an answer to Qie Ranzhe especially when he was staring at him with expectant eyes?
"I..... um.....well....," he spoke his speech as incoherent as a drunkard. While he was trying to come up with a less hurtful way to answer the question Qie Ranzhe somewhat lost his patience and abruptly shifted his body till he lay on top of Wen Qinxi.
With his one hand holding both of Wen Qinxi's wrists and the other holding the man's leg up by the thigh, Qie Ranzhe gazed down at him ready to bully an answer out of him. "Baby, would you have agreed to try things with me?" he asked grinding up against Wen Qinxi's vulnerable chrysanthemum like a thirsty beast ready to devour its prey. If it weren't for the fabric hindering him, Wen Qinxi was fairly certain he would have been devoured a long time ago.
Their gazes locked creating an inexplicable tension that could only be described as animalistic. Wen Qinxi felt all his senses tingle as a wave of goosebumps ruptured all over his body.
Qie Ranzhe leaned down only stopping with their lips less than an inch apart. Wen Qinxi's heart was pounding with his chest undulating in anticipation. He twisted his wrists feeling the heat coming from his sweaty palms. His eyes were half-lidded expecting to be kissed but the long-awaited kiss didn't come.
Instead, it was Qie Ranzhe's warm breath that brushed against his face making him blush. "Tell me," said Qie Ranzhe with his lips hovering above Wen Qinxi's creating a tingly sensation that spread to the rest of his face.
"I..... I wouldn't have believed you," muttered Wen Qinxi before arching his neck to kiss Qie Ranzhe but Qie Ranzhe leaned backwards avoiding his touch. He immediately got off Wen Qinxi and lay beside him with a look of indignation on his face.
In the past, he had planned to confess and even prepared a pair of matching necklaces but it turned out he would have been rejected after all.
Him being trapped in Flagship turned out to be a good thing because Wen Qinxi wouldn't have fallen for him otherwise.
Seeing Qie Ranzhe lying on his back with his hand covering his face, Wen Qinxi propped himself up and said, "There is no point in focusing on what ifs because it all worked out in the end, didn't it?"
He took Qie Ranzhe's hand off his face and planted a light kiss on his lips before lying on his chest. Qie Ranzhe's sullen mood seemed to recover in an instant. He took Wen Qinxi into his arms, kissed the top of his head and whispered, "I am sorry that you had to put up with me in Flagship.... and thank you so much for saving me." These words were spoken from the heart.
He was truly grateful for Wen Qinxi's intervention otherwise he might have had a terrible ending. Wen Qinxi simply smiled as he playfully tugged on Qie Ranzhe's t-shirt. If he had known Qie Ranzhe liked him back then he would have been terrified out of his mind and hid from him. This was purely based on his personality back then.
The two fell asleep in each other's embrace with their own separate thoughts but by early morning last night's events were completely forgotten. Wen Qinxi lay on top of Qie Ranzhe tussling with each other like a pair of high schoolers. It seemed the nerd was looking for Qie Ranzhe's sensitive spots completely disregarding the fact that they weren't alone in the apartment.
Qie Ranzhe looked down at his hard member that had been rubbed against in the struggle and said, "You better get off me if you know what's good for you," but of course, his warning fell on deaf ears.
Wen Qinxi was like a child playing with fire. He knew he would get burnt but he still chose to stick his finger in despite the consequences. "So it's not your neck.....," he said pulling up Qie Ranzhe's shirt before leaning down to kiss the man's belly.
Just as he did this Qie Ranzhe jolted at his touch and warned him again. "You are seriously playing with fire. This definitely won't end well for you," he said with a malicious smile on his face.
Wen Qinxi didn't seem to care giggling like a little schoolgirl. But two seconds later, he wasn't giggling anymore as Qie Ranzhe abruptly turned him over and straddled him before kissing him fiercely.
The two were entangled with each other thoroughly indulging in their lustful passion when Wen Dazhe suddenly appeared ending their makeout session.
"What the hell? You two do know I am still in this apartment, right? Oh my gosh... why am I even here?" he yelled before banging the bathroom door startling the two people engaged in who knows what in broad daylight.
Two hours later, the two of them were at a race track visiting Dai Yu and Shao Lan. Shao Lan was a professional car racer and had invited Qie Ranzhe to come over. Reason being that Dai Yu usually got crazy as her husband's number one fan so she needed to be watched. This is why he would ask either Qie Ranzhe or Dai Lee to come over and watch her.
So Qie Ranzhe decided to bring along Wen Qinxi so he could formally meet Dai Yu and Shao Lan since they were going to be family.
Wen Qinxi didn't mind. In fact, he had been looking forward to meeting the crazy pair from the fifth world so he tagged along with a spring in his step. He soon realised that Shao Lan's concerns were indeed warranted. Dai Yu was indeed her husbands biggest fan.
She was holding a signboard written 'My husband is the baddest bitch so eat his dust'. She also wore a tight fitted t-shirt with Shao Lan's name written on it jeering him on.
As soon as she saw Wen Qinxi she immediately trotted over and embraced him like they had known each igher for years. That casual embrace attracted the attention of two tigers. One tiger that had been abandoned by his wife and another tiger whose cousin was hugging his wife with no reservations.
"Ah! I finally get to see you. I honestly thought this was never going to happen... oh gosh, he smells nice too," said Dai Yu tightening her hold. She knew about Qie Ranzhe's little secrets but never thought this would actually happen.
