To say Wen Qinxi blew a fuse would more accurate. He was seeing red trembling in anger. If Qie Ranzhe had been careless for just a single moment he most certainly would have stabbed her to death right there and then. When Wen Qinxi first came to this world he wanted to kill her on the spot but didn't not only because she was dating Qie Ranzhe but also because he couldn't kill her for crimes committed by the Zhao Huangzhi in the second world.
Zhao Huangzhi had toppled over his bottom line several times already but when she tossed that phone with Qie Xieling's picture he finally snapped.
Qie Xieling was the only memory he had of the blissful love he shared with Qie Ranzhe in the second world and she dared to desecrate that. This is why he went off the rails and threatened her with no reservations.
Qie Ranzhe separated the two carrying him to a miltary motorhome before putting him down. He immediately took the knife away and waited for this firecracker to simmer down. Wen Qinxi's anger only subsided after thirty minutes with the psycho setting finally letting go of him. That's when he noticed Qie Ranzhe who was silently seated on the bed watching him. The General's gaze was neither hot nor cold, his expression unreadable making it difficult for him to discern Qie Ranzhe's thoughts.
"What?" asked Wen Qinxi averting his gaze. He didn't want to stare at him a minute otherwise he might sell his feelings out. He still loved the man he rolled around with underneath the sheets but things had changed.
Qie Ranzhe could sense something off with Feng Zi. The man seemed different, not only did he retaliate against Zhao Huangzhi which he never did before but also seemed less hostile towards him. This had Qie Ranzhe scratching his head in confusion but this wasn't the time nor place to investigate so he said, "Take off your clothes," in an imperious tone while standing up to grab some clean clothes.
Wen Qinxi, "..."
'Are you shitting me?' he thought tightly clutching the top button of his shirt borrowed from Grizzly's collection. Qie Ranzhe shot him and now he was asking him to undress?
"Fuck no!" he outrightly refused. He was a little panicked which had Qie Ranzhe raise a brow in confusion.
"Are you a fuckin maiden? Take it off and change into this," said Qie Ranzhe tossing the clothes on the table nearby, "you can't keep wearing bloodstained clothes." Qie Ranzhe couldn't help but wonder when this infamous nudist suddenly became shy. Back in high school in the locker room, Feng Zi would prance around showcasing his birthday suit for everyone to see. Maybe he grew out of it or developed some self awareness.
Wen Qinxi grabbed the clothes and said, "I need to wash up," his ears turning red recalling the things he and his alpha did in the second world. Staring into blank space, Wen Qinxi was wreathed in smiles stuck in his own existence.
Qie Ranzhe was opening the door to the small shower in the motorhome when he caught sight of that dazzling smile he had never seen before. He might not have personally smiled like that but he could easily discern what that smile meant especially with pink bubbles flying over the place.
With mixed feelings he asked, "Are you thinking of Huan-er again?" This question drew Wen Qinxi out off his sweet daydream his expression turning ugly.
He walked over holding on to his change of clothes and casually said, "No, I like someone else so you can be rest assured," about to enter the tiny shower.
Qie Ranzhe held on to the top of the door his body relaxed while carefully scrutinizing Feng Zi. "Really?" he asked with a sly grin on his face. He couldn't believe that Feng Zi actually fell for someone else so quickly when he just recently kidnapped Zhao Huangzhi openly declaring his love for her to the entire world.
"Yeah," said Wen Qinxi forcibly pulling the shower door to close it causing Qie Ranzhe stumble as he let go.
He was curious to know who was special enough to finally end the intense love rivalry that's been going on between them. Rubbing the tip of his nose he settled in the chair waiting for Feng Zi to finish. Twenty minutes later the man still hadn't showed any signs of coming out making Qie Ranzhe suspicious. His suspicions were actually valid as our dear nerd was busy playing with his bird after overstimulating himself thinking about the obscene things they did in the second world.
Qie Ranzhe was about to knock on the door and scold him for wasting water when Zhao Huangzhi walked into the motorhome without knocking. She didn't appreciate Qie Ranzhe spending this much time alone with Feng Zi so she came over to take a look. She was initially planning to stomp in fuming but seeing Qie Ranzhe alone she cooled down several degrees and said, "We need to talk. Where is he?"
Qie Ranzhe leisurely pointed at the shower door while opening up a can of soda. The rage she had suppressed suddenly rose back up again with her expression as black as charcoal.
"Why do have to be so accommodating to him? According to military law his a prisoner and he should be cuffed and detained so what the fuck are you doing? Your old friend is gone, he betrayed you, shot you three times and assault-," she said choking right at the last word with her voice becoming tremulous, "assaulted me." Her eyes reddened while anxiously biting her lower lip. Seeing her like this, Qie Ranzhe's heart couldn't help but soften. His mother was assaulted and died of her injuries which was his weak point. He was just about to stand up and hug her when the shower door was suddenly opened.
Wen Qinxi came out of the shower wearing a tight fighting green t-shirt clearly outlining his muscles. It was probably a size too small but Wen Qinxi didn't mind it. His cheeks seemed a bit flashed from the warm water with his damp strands brushing against his face enhancing his sex appeal that even Zhao Huangzhi noticed. That tattoo and pink lips had her heart faintly skip a beat but it immediately returned to normal like nothing happened.
