CH 37

Chu Yi temporarily interpreted Qin Yiheng’s strange mood as a result of giving the same gift.

It was getting late and Chu Yi hadn’t washed up yet. In his opinion, this matter had already come to an end. He might as well not think about it anymore.

And just like yesterday, Qin Yiheng’s unhappiness was only something he assumed.

In fact, Qin Yiheng has always been in this state at home. What if he wasn’t actually feeling anything?

With this idea, Chu Yi instantly felt at ease.

He took out his pajamas from the closet and was about to go shower when Qin Yiheng, who was sitting at the side, suddenly called out to him.

“Wait.”

Chu Yi halted and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qin Yiheng put down the book in his hand and looked at Chu Yi, “Xu Zhiming said not to contact him. Why did he give you shoes?”

Chu Yi paused briefly.

Mr. Qin, that’s a good question.

Chu Yi answered honestly, “I don’t know.”

Qin Yiheng continued, “Why didn’t he want to contact you again before?”

Chu Yi still said, “I don’t know.”

Qin Yiheng, “Do you know he broke up with his girlfriend?”

Chu Yi was stunned for a second, “I don’t know.”

He then walked over and asked Qin Yiheng, “How did you know?”

What Chu Yi didn’t know was that Qin Yiheng immediately regretted after he said it, “He said it himself.”

Chu Yi nodded and thought it was probably something he heard last night.

Chu Yi, “I thought he would marry his girlfriend. When I met him last time, he told me that the girl was pretty good and his mother liked her a lot.”

Chu Yi saw Qin Yiheng lowered his head and picked up the book again. He felt that Qin Yiheng was probably not interested in this topic, so he simply stopped talking.

In the middle of his shower, Chu Yi suddenly became confused.

Chu Yi suddenly remembered something after thinking about what Qin Yiheng had said.

Xu Zhiming was also like this back during university. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he immediately asked Chu Yi to go watch a basketball game and treated him to dinner. Chu Yi even wanted to split the bill but he wouldn’t let.

However, Chu Yi didn’t evade it at that time. He just thought that Xu Zhiming was heartbroken and wanted to vent his emotions with money.

Thinking about it now, he feels that Xu Zhiming is really quite interesting.

Not once but twice.

The heck? If you’re heartbroken, you’ll come venting to Chu Yi?

What’s his problem?

Originally, Chu Yi was already about to forget what Xu Zhiming said about not contacting him. When Zhang Kai asked about Xu Zhiming when he came a few days ago, he even said that he’ll notify him about the wedding.

Now that everything’s combined and presented in front of him, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

It felt like he was being used at the other’s beck and call.

It made him unhappy.

Although Chu Yi looks very gentle and would joke and chat freely with everyone, it doesn’t mean he is easy to be taken advantage of.

Suddenly, Chu Yi felt rather dull.

The games they played together were dull, the basketball they played together were dull, and Xu Zhiming was dull.

As a result of his family, Chu Yi wasn’t a person who felt entitled and never thought he was important to others.

Similarly, he wouldn’t treat a person with importance if he doesn’t care about them.

After his shower, Chu Yi threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, pressed the start button, and went back to the bedroom.

Qin Yiheng was still reading. It wasn’t time for them to sleep yet, so Chu Yi asked Qin Yiheng, “Do you want crucian carp soup?”

Qin Yiheng raised his head, “Are you having any?”

For some reason, Qin Yiheng’s question suddenly made Chu Yi happy.

Chu Yi, “I’ll go down to make it. Come down in about half an hour.”

Qin Yiheng, “Okay.”

Right now, Chu Yi really wanted to stride over to Qin Yiheng, set aside his book, and kiss him.

Kissing anywhere is fine, face or lips, but preferably lips.

It didn’t need to be very deep. Just a peck would be fine.

However, when he saw how serious Qin Yiheng was with reading, he gave up the idea.

It’s better to not be abrupt, he was quite afraid of Qin Yiheng after all.

Even just standing there imagining things to himself, Chu Yi had already started becoming nervous.

Forget it, forget it.

He’ll just imagine that they have kissed.

Done.

But since it was only an imagination, Chu Yi kissed him again in imagination before finally going downstairs contentedly.

The crucian carp had already been processed and cut when he came home. Right now, he only needs to make some seasonings.

After busying himself in the kitchen for ten minutes, Chu Yi set a timer and went to the living room.

He hadn’t finished watching the ball game last night. It’s perfect to take advantage of this time to continue watching it.

He poured himself a glass of water, turned on the TV, and found the video.

Not long after clicking on it, his phone suddenly sounded. It was a message from Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai was caring about him: Was it okay?

Chu Yi thought for a bit: It should be okay

Chu Yi: I told him I sold Xu Zhiming’s pair to you

Zhang Kai: Is he happier?

Chu Yi: I think so

Chu Yi: He’s having crucian carp soup with me later

Zhang Kai: Show off, show off, show off

Zhang Kai: As if other people haven’t drunk crucian carp soup before!

Before long, Zhang Kai sent another message.

Zhang Kai: I’m so angry, I’m so angry

Chu Yi thought of what he remembered in the bathroom and decided to tell Zhang Kai about what Xu Zhiming said about no contacting and his breakups.

He said it very objectively in a gentle tone, as if he were telling a little story. In the passing, he also mentioned the matter during university.

It was a long paragraph, after reading it, Zhang Kai directly replied: What the fuck… is his problem?

Chu Yi smiled. It seems that it really wasn’t his overthinking.

Chu Yi: Right?

Zhang Kai: Why is he keeping you as a spare tire?

Zhang Kai: When he has a partner, he ignores you. When he doesn’t have a partner, he clings back to you

Zhang Kai: And here I used to think he wasn’t bad and was good to you

Zhang Kai: I was blind

Zhang Kai: And you kept saying he’s straight. Let me tell you that based on my gaydar as someone who is born gay, he’s not straight at all

Zhang Kai: I think he likes you but refuses to admit it

Zhang Kai: So after all this and that, he ended up acting out a play by himself, it’s quite interesting actually

Zhang Kai: Does our Chu Yi even care about him!

Chu Yi looked at these text messages and pictured Zhang Kai’s tone, then chuckled.

Zhang Kai kept continuing over there.

Zhang Kai: How old is he? Still acting like this

Zhang Kai: It’s like friendship between primary school students, they’ll give you an “I’m not gonna be friends with you anymore” and don’t even give any explanations

Zhang Kai: When they want to be friends with you again, they just give you a little gift? That’s it?

Zhang Kai: It’s only because you have a good temper, Chu Yi

Zhang Kai: If it were me

Zhang Kai suddenly stopped talking. After so many years of friendship between them, he followed up after Zhang Kai’s words.

Chu Yi: If it were you

Chu Yi: Say it

Chu Yi: Love expert Zhang, what’s your suggestion

Zhang Kai: Block him!

Chu Yi laughed and lowered his head to type.

Chu Yi: No need

Chu Yi: So childish

Zhang Kai: You’re right

Zhang Kai: Blocking him means that you still care about him

Zhang Kai: Just leave it

Zhang Kai: There won’t be anything between you two in the future anyways

Zhang Kai: If he gives you shoes next time

Zhang Kai: Just directly give it to me!

Chu Yi laughed.

Chu Yi: No wonder

Chu Yi: So you were waiting for this

Zhang Kai: Hahahahahahaha

Zhang Kai: Shit

There’s a reason why Chu Yi could maintain such a good relationship with Zhang Kai even after separating after junior high.

In Zhang Kai’s words, he deeply moved Chu Yi with his humorous cells, and Chu Yi also deeply moved Zhang Kai with his temperament of immediate understanding and willingness to cooperate.

Chu Yi is a top student and is loved by everyone. Zhang Kai doesn’t dare to say that they are ‘two of a kind’, but it’s reasonable to say that they have the same taste.

As they chatted, the sound of the timer came from the kitchen. Chu Yi didn’t even get to watch the basketball game.

He rewinded the video a little, thought about it for a few seconds, then simply turned it off and went to the kitchen.

Qin Yiheng also came down on time. Chu Yi had just brought out the soup and placed it on the table.

He then went to get bowls and utensils. First, he served Qin Yiheng a bowl and put it in front of him, “It’s still hot. Drink it slowly.”

Qin Yiheng made an “mn” sound, and Chu Yi also served himself a bowl.

After Chu Yi sat down, he watched Qin Yiheng ate a spoonful of soup.

Chu Yi asked, “How is it?”

Qin Yiheng nodded, “It’s good.”

Chu Yi, “I was afraid you’ll think it’s too light. For this kind of tonic soup, I’m used to drinking light ones.”

Qin Yiheng took another sip, “It’s not.”

Aiya.

This man is too easy to get along with.

So the two drank their crucian carp soup quietly.

Then together, they cleaned up and went upstairs.

The stairs of Qin Yiheng’s house aren’t very wide. If they stood side by side, it would be a little crowded. So Chu Yi walked a few stairs ahead of him when they walked up the stairs.

With the sound of their footsteps, the voice-activated lights come on one by one.

Chu Yi suddenly thought of the pair of shoes that Qin Yiheng gave him, and suddenly became overjoyed.

He turned around, faced Qin Yiheng, and asked him as he walked backward, “Where did you buy those shoes? I missed the opportunity and couldn’t get them.”

Qin Yiheng answered honestly, “Xu Jing said his cousin also liked it, so I asked Xu Jing to buy it.”

“So Xu Jing bought it.”

Chu Yi was a little disappointed, but not by much. He continued to ask, “How did Xu Jing know I like shoes? Did you tell him?”

Qin Yiheng nodded, “Mn.”

Chu Yi nodded.

It’s the same, it’s the same.

It’s quite difficult to be Qin Yiheng’s assistant.

He needs to help his boss in work, life, and even help his boss manage his marriage.

Xu Jing‘s really having it difficult.

Since Chu Yi was several more stairs ahead of him. Qin Yiheng had to raise his head to look at him.

As they looked at each other like this.

Chu Yi continued the imagination from earlier, he pictured a new scene.

Qin Yiheng held him and he hung himself on Qin Yiheng’s waist while also looking at him from this angle.

Done.

He did it in imagination.

Chu Yi was satisfied.

In order not to go overboard with the imaginations, Chu Yi turned around and walked properly.

“How much do you weigh?” A few steps later, Qin Yiheng suddenly asked him.

Chu Yi thought about it and then turned back, “The last time I weighed myself, it was 125[1], it should still be about the same.”

Qin Yiheng, “Too light.”

Chu Yi shrugged, “I don’t get fat.” He said while laughing, “If I say this outside, I’ll get beaten.”

Qin Yiheng seemed to understand what he was talking about and smiled, “It’s alright to say it at home.”

Chu Yi laughed even happier and lowered his head to meet Qin Yiheng’s gaze.

Before long, they returned to the bedroom one by one. Qin Yiheng closed the door behind them.

But Chu Yi never thought that after he had only taken a few steps, he was suddenly in the air.

Chu Yi screamed.

Qin Yiheng actually picked him up in a princess carry.

Chu Yi’s face reddened quickly, and Qin Yiheng was staring at him with his head lowered.

Chu Yi immediately raised his hands to cover his face.

Chu Yi’s brain had no time to think, “Why are you suddenly holding me up?”

Qin Yiheng held him and walked to the bedside without much effort, “I can’t hold you?”

Chu Yi felt that his face was red to his neck.

He turned his head and buried his face in Qin Yiheng’s chest.

You can hold, you can hold.

But can you send some kind of romantically ambiguous signal before holding me?

So unexpected every time.

Really cannot withstand this.

The translator has something to say:

cy: i dont get fat

cy: if i say this, ill get beaten

me: *beats chuyiyi* (jk
