In order to let Qin Yiheng visually see the effect of himself wearing the tie clip, Chu Yi carefully re-tied Qin Yiheng’s tie, and then clipped the tie clip on top of it.

“It’s done.” Chu Yi patted Qin Yiheng’s tie twice with his fingers together, then raised his head to look at Qin Yiheng.

When Chu Yi was tying his tie, Qin Yiheng was playing with Chu Yi’s hair. So when Chu Yi raised his head, a small pinch of short hair that was around Qin Yiheng’s fingers slipped out just like that.

Qin Yiheng didn’t want his fingers to be empty. So while Chu Yi was talking, he changed his direction, he bent his fingers and rested it on Chu Yi’s chin.

Chu Yi was so used to being touched by Qin Yiheng that he didn’t feel anything at this moment. He was still nervous about his gift, “Does it look nice?”

Only then did Qin Yiheng look down.

Chu Yi said, “You can’t see the effect like this, you have to look in the mirror.”

Qin Yiheng shook his head, “Not going, it looks nice.”

Chu Yi smiled with ease, “It does look nice.”

Qin Yiheng took his hand back, pointed to the tie clip, and asked, “Did you buy it when you went shopping this afternoon?”

Chu Yi shook his head and corrected Qin Yiheng’s words, “I went shopping for the purpose of buying this.”

Qin Yiheng blinked as he listened.

Happiness, excitement, enjoyment.

It was all correct.

Then he began to think about what he did when he first met Chu Yi?

Seemed to have done a lot of inhuman things.

And said a lot of inhuman things.

Qin Yiheng, “How long have we been married?”

Chu Yi roughly calculated, “More than a month, why?”

Qin Yiheng, “Do you think I’m a qualified husband?”

Chu Yi nodded immediately, “Yeah, you’re qualified.”

Almost too qualified. He has  literally been operating according to the standards of a qualified husband.

Considerate, thoughtful, patient, gentle, serious, sincere…

But the qualified husband seemed to disagree.

Qin Yiheng shook his head, “Unqualified.”

Chu Yi was confused, “Where are you unqualified?”

Qin Yiheng was dissatisfied with himself everywhere, “Unqualified everywhere.”

Chu Yi was even more confused, “What’s wrong?”

Was it his illusion? Why does Qin Yiheng suddenly look so hurt?

Qin Yiheng failed to answer Chu Yi’s words. After all, he also didn’t know where exactly he was unqualified.

All in all, if he fails to win Chu Yi’s heart, he is unqualified.

“Have you finished your client’s design?” Qin Yiheng asked.

Chu Yi nodded, “I’ve finished it in the morning, I have nothing to do for the next two days.”

Qin Yiheng asked, “What do you want to do in the evening? Do you have any plans?”

Chu Yi shook his head, “No.”

Qin Yiheng said, “I have plans.” He said as he brought out his phone, “Two of them, watching a movie or watching a play, are you interested?”

Chu Yi went over and saw two pictures in Qin Yiheng and Xu Jing’s chatlog, one was a recently released film, and the other was a unique play performance of City Q.

Chu Yi suddenly thought of what Zhang Kai told him this morning, telling him to go out and hang out more with Qin Yiheng.

So this is a date.

“Then, the play?” Chu Yi said.

He can arrange for the movie again when they’re back in City A.

Chu Yi tilted his body, came closer, and tapped open the picture of the play, “I saw this play in the guide, netizens said that it’s a must seen in City Q, that it’s an exciting play.”

Qin Yiheng, “Okay.”

After Qin Yiheng responded, he directly sent a message to Xu Jing on the chat interface, asking him to buy two tickets with good spots.

“The play is at 6:30.” Chu Yi looked at the time, “It’s 4:30 now, it’s almost time for us to have dinner.”

When Chu Yi just started to think about what to eat tonight, Qin Yiheng said, “I’ve already booked a restaurant.”

Chu Yi raised his head and looked at Qin Yiheng.

This gege, who are you to say you’re unqualified?

The unqualified husband is clearly in front of you, me.

“There’s another very important thing.” Qin Yiheng put away his phone and stared at Chu Yi, “Where’s my nickname?”

“Oh, ah ah.” Chu Yi laughed, “I almost forgot.”

After Chu Yi said this, he immediately picked up the phone from behind him, unlocked it, clicked into Qin Yiheng’s chat, and then turned it towards Qin Yiheng for him to see.

Qin Yiheng read out the name above, “Likes playing with tie clips.”

Chu Yi hid his empty hand in his pocket, “Yup.”

Qin Yiheng looked at Chu Yi, “What does this mean?” He pointed to his tie. “You like playing with this?”

Chu Yi shook his head, “No.”

Chu Yi gulped.

It’s so shameful having to explain this to his face.

He coughed and put on the hood of his sweater, “What you wrote is that you like to eat little cakes, so I came up with a corresponding one.”

Qin Yiheng said, “But my little cake refers to you.”

Chu Yi lowered his head, “My tie clip also refers to you.”

Qin Yiheng began to think.

Chu Yi began to feel bashful.

But since things have already happened, he simply said it all together, “This tie clip is my first gift to you, which means a lot to me.”

He was afraid that Qin Yiheng might suddenly say something, such as ‘what can a mere tie clip mean?’. So after he said this, he immediately continued, “So I thought that, since you can call me a little cake, I can also call you a tie clip.” Chu Yi became quieter as he talked, “You like to eat little cakes, I like to play with tie clips, hahaha.”

Hehehe.

Not funny.

Chu Yi lowered his head and secretly peeked at Qin Yiheng.

Qin Yiheng was smiling as he stared at him. He seemed to have felt his glance, so he asked, “What are you afraid of?”

Chu Yi gulped, “I’m afraid that you won’t like it.”

“Why won’t I like it?” Qin Yiheng patted Chu Yi’s head, and at the same time, he let go of Chu Yi’s hand and pulled down Chu Yi’s hood, “I like it.”

Chu Yi blushed and had nowhere to hide, so he could only avoid Qin Yiheng’s sight.

Then he heard Qin Yiheng ask him, “You said I’m the tie clip, so you mean you like playing me?”

Chu Yi’s fingers in his pocket began to numb.

How did the atmosphere gradually become so romantic?

Qin Yiheng, you are really not ashamed to say such a thing.

Instead of answering directly, he threw the question back, “Then when you put ‘likes to eat little cakes’, what did you mean?”

As expected, Qin Yiheng was much more open than him, “I mean it literally, I like eating you.”

Chu Yi, “…”

Then, then fine.

“Yeah.” Chu Yi said boldly, “I mean it literally too. I like playing you.”

How was that!

Qin Yiheng continued to probe further with a smile, “What part of me do you like playing with?”

Chu Yi, “…”

How is this atmosphere getting gradually romantic?

This is clearly gradually becoming erotic.

Qin Yiheng!

How can you ask this kind of thing!

Then…

Chu Yi could only, “I like playing everywhere.”

Qin Yiheng grinned uncontrollably, he held Chu Yi’s chin and forced Chu Yi to look at him.

Qin Yiheng’s brows and eyes were full of tenderness and smiles. He looked at Chu Yi’s fawn-like eyes and cheeks that were already flushed from embarrassment. He said, “Why are you so cute.”

Chu Yi turned away, avoided his sight again, and escaped from Qin Yiheng’s hands, “Not really.”

Then Chu Yi suddenly thought of something.

So in order to highlight Qin Yiheng’s specialness, he added, “You’re the only one that told me that I’m cute.”

There was often traffic during the night in City Q. In order to avoid delaying the play performance at night, they no longer stay in the room.

Qin Yiheng booked a car, took the room card, and went downstairs with Chu Yi hand in hand.

Thinking about it, today is their real genuine first date. When entering the elevator, Chu Yi looked at the two people reflected from the elevator door and had a “they’re so well-matched” thought popped up in his mind.

Probably because Qin Yiheng changed out his suit and wore some less formal clothes, it made them look much closer.

Since their skins match now, according to Chu Yi’s character, it’s natural for him to say a thing or two about this.

And the person next to him just happened to be Qin Yiheng.

Chu Yi looked at the elevator door, “Qin-laoshi is so handsome.”

Qin-laoshi, who was praised, visibly tightened his hand.

Then, Qin-laoshi also copied Chu Yi, he said “Chu-laoshi is also very handsome.”

Chu Yi continued to tease, “Has Qin-laoshi always been this handsome since childhood?”

Qin Yiheng was not modest, “Yeah, handsome since childhood.”

“No wonder there were so many people pursuing Qin-laoshi.” Chu Yi looked at Qin Yiheng in the mirror. “After you graduate, I can still hear about your legend.”

Qin Yiheng was curious, “What legend?”

Chu Yi, “Things like Qin-xuezhang is a mountain top flower, very cold and aloof.”

After hearing this, Qin Yiheng first looked at Chu Yi in the mirror, and then turned to Chu Yi next to him, “And what do you think? Am I?”

Chu Yi answered honestly, “You were when I first met you, but not so much now.”

Qin Yiheng, “Not so much? Meaning?”

Chu Yi, “Not so much means that, occasionally you are, but sometimes not.”

When Chu Yi said this, the elevator made a ‘ding’ sound and they arrived on the first floor.

There were people waiting outside, so they didn’t continue talking. When they got in the car together, Qin Yiheng picked up the topic again.

He asked, “Tell me, when are the occasions?”

Qin Yiheng pulled Chu Yi, and Chu Yi conveniently leaned against him. However, he pulled too hard and Chu Yi directly slammed into his arms.

Chu Yi pretended to struggle for a bit, but when Qin Yiheng held his waist, he stopped struggling.

Chu Yi, “Occasionally, it’s when you give people a sense of distance.”

Qin Yiheng thought of the message Zhao Xin sent him in the morning, which was also about him giving people a sense of distance.

Qin Yiheng, “Be more specific.”

Chu Yi, “Specific how?”

Qin Yiheng, “What did I do or say that made you feel a sense of distance?”

Chu Yi thought for a moment, “For example, sometimes when I say a lot of things, you just answer me with a simple “mn”, this makes me feel a great sense of distance, and makes me think you’re not interested in me at all.”

Qin Yiheng, “You misunderstood.”

Chu Yi smiled, “But it’s much better now, it used to be like that, maybe it’s because we weren’t familiar at that time.” Chu Yi nodded to Qin Yiheng and repeated, “It’s much better now, I can talk and joke with you now.”

Qin Yiheng seemed to understand. He began to ask, “What kind of person do you like?”

Chu Yi said, “People who I can talk and joke with.”

Qin Yiheng seemed to understand once again, “But I’m not very good at telling jokes.”

Chu Yi shook his head, “It’s alright, as long as I know how to. You can just listen to me, it’s fine as long as you can understand what I’m talking about.”

Qin Yiheng wondered, “Do I understand?”

Chu Yi nodded, “You understand.”

Qin Yiheng tilted his head and couldn’t find the scene in his mind where he understood Chu Yi’s joke.

Probably because he knew what Qin Yiheng was thinking, Chu Yi patted Qin Yiheng on the arm and comforted him, “You really do understand, really.”

Qin Yiheng nodded. He didn’t look into this for the time being and asked another question, “Do I have times where I make you feel that there’s no sense of distance?”

Chu Yi knows what Qin Yiheng meant by asking this question. The focus of tonight’s topic is ‘advice on what to change and maintain about Qin Yiheng’.

But the 4 words ‘no sense of distance’ reminded Chu Yi…

He first opened his mouth, then pretended to look towards the front carefully, and slowly said, “When there’s no sense of distance, it’s when…” The more he talked, the softer his voice became. When there were only a few words left, he basically mouthed it, “We’re in bed, and it’s even a negative distance.”

After Chu Yi finished speaking, he sat up straight and observed Qin Yiheng from the corner of his eyes.

Soon, Qin Yiheng laughed.

It was a laugh named, ‘I know what you’re talking about’.

Chu Yi coughed in his heart, still sitting in that posture, and said seriously, “See, I knew you understand me.”

At first, Qin Yiheng just laughed once. But after hearing Chu Yi’s serious comfort, he laughed harder and harder.

He pressed his hand on Chu Yi’s head, rubbed it a few times, and finally directly held Chu Yi in his arms.

“So you like joking about this.” Qin Yiheng said.

Chu Yi quickly shook his head, “No, no, I don’t.”

Qin Yiheng pressed his head and didn’t let him shake his head, “No need to refuse it, you can like it.”

Chu Yi groaned in his heart.

Why did he give such an example?

What’s wrong with him?

“Qin Yiheng.” Chu Yi buried his head, “I’m not that kind of person.”

Qin Yiheng’s chest vibrated with laughter, which was right next to Chu Yi’s ear.

Qin Yiheng, “I understand.”

Chu Yi wanted to cry without tears, “No, you don’t understand.”

Qin Yiheng reached out and touched Chu Yi’s face. Sure enough, it was burning. He smiled, “You’re shy.”

Chu Yi didn’t want to raise his head at all, “Mn.”

Qin Yiheng touched his soft hair, “Lie down.”

Chu Yi pleaded, “Can you forget what I just said?”

Qin Yiheng said with a smile, “I’m afraid not.”

Chu Yi, “…”

The entire time Chu Yi lay there, Qin Yiheng’s smile hadn’t fallen off his lips.

His little husband is too cute.

He gained a lot from this conversation. They will be arriving at the theater soon, in order to not embarrass Chu Yi anymore, Qin Yiheng decided to change the topic.

“If you have no arrangements for tomorrow, do you want to come with me?” Qin Yiheng patted Chu Yi on the head.

Chu Yi still didn’t get up, “Where?”

Qin Yiheng, “A resort in City Q.”

Chu Yi asked, “Don’t you have work?”

“It’s work.” Qin Yiheng said, “Going with the cooperative party.”

As Chu Yi heard this, he sat up. As expected, his face was no longer red.

“Won’t it be inconvenient if I go?”

Qin Yiheng shook his head, “It’s convenient,” As if to convince Chu Yi, Qin Yiheng said, “Many people from the other party’s team have also brought their partners.”

Seeing that Chu Yi didn’t immediately agree, Qin Yiheng said, “It’s very casual, it won’t affect work.”

Chu Yi was still hesitating. Qin Yiheng said, “There’s lots of food and plenty of things to look at, it won’t be boring.”

Qin Yiheng kept going, “I’ve been all alone these days.”

Chu Yi wasn’t planning on refusing, it’s just that Qin Yiheng kept saying sentence after sentence, trying to persuade him with all his effort, so he wanted to hear it.

It turned out that in the end, he even brought out the pity trick?

Chu Yi nodded, having this opportunity, of course he wanted to go, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Qin Yiheng, who got what he wanted, grinned. Then he habitually stroked Chu Yi’s hair.

As he stroked, he remembered something.

“Aren’t you unfamiliar with the bed?” Qin Yiheng expressed concern for Chu Yi, “How was your sleep yesterday?”

Chu Yi, “I slept very well yesterday. I don’t know about today though, this hotel’s bed is a bit too soft.”

Qin Yiheng suddenly remembered something.

“Last night, we were at a negative distance.” Qin Yiheng’s hand slipped down and hooked Chu Yi’s chin, he lowered his voice, “If you want to sleep well tonight, don’t you also want negative distance tonight?”

Chu Yi, “…”

Huh?

Qin Yiheng asked this with an overly serious attitude.

Chu Yi couldn’t tell whether Qin Yiheng was serious or just joking around.
