CH 68

At Qin Li’s birthday dinner, Qin Xing just came out briefly to make an appearance, but this was normal. In previous years, Qin Xing also did the same at Qin Yue’s birthday dinners. He just came out to show himself and say a few words.

But even if this was the case, Qin Li was still on cloud nine.

After all, when he used to celebrate his birthday, the birthday party would always be outside, simply just inviting his friends to celebrate it together. How could it compare to now, being able to celebrate it at home, and his elders all coming out to participate together.

Qin Li drank a lot of wine and was eventually carried back.

“I can drink more!” Qin Li said, struggling.

Qin Shan rolled her eyes on the side: “Forget it, you lightweight.”

Qin Li gave Qin Shan a fierce glare, and finally fell asleep because his head was too dizzy.

Shen Zhen did not drink alcohol, but drank some nonalcoholic drinks. He had suffered enough from being drunk. He was the kind of awake drunk that would remember all the mentally retarded things that he did after waking up the next morning. Rather than suffer recalling his embarrassment he would much rather forget about it and not know anything.

At the end of the dinner, just as Shen Zhen stepped out of the banquet hall, the butler who was waiting at the side stopped him respectfully: “Young Master Shen, Mr. Qin is waiting for you in his room.”

Shen Zhen coughed slightly, and his face became a little red.

Qin Shan’s chin suddenly landed on Shen Zhen’s shoulder. Though she had to stand on tiptoe, she maintained this posture very naturally: “I really envy you, Youngest Uncle has the best relationship with you in the family.”

Shen Zhen nodded with a natural expression: “Yeah.”

Qin Shan: “Why?”

Shen Zhen said seriously: “Maybe because I am more likable?”

Qin Shan was taken aback for a moment, and finally laughed out loud: “Don’t joke with a serious face.”

Shen Zhen’s lips also hooked up in a smile, as if  her words, and then said to Qin Shan, “I’ll go upstairs first.”

Qin Shan waved to Shen Zhen: “Go, I’m going to rest too, I drank a lot tonight, I’m a little dizzy.”

The two parted at the corner, and Shen Zhen walked up the stairs.

The Qin family’s stairs were made of wood, but Shen Zhen couldn’t tell what kind of wood it was. It was finely carved with hollowed-out patterns, but it didn’t give people a tasteless feeling. The Qin family manor always had a faint fragrance, which came from the scent of the wood which had not dissipated after so many years. So one could imagine how expensive the wood should be.

The floor was covered with a light gray carpet, which was very comfortable to step on. Don’t know how many times it was cleaned every day.

Standing at the door of Qin Xing’s room, Shen Zhen knocked politely. This was his second visit to Qin Xing’s room.

In so many years, it seemed that he was the only one who had this honor——although it was only entering a room, and should not have been called an honor in the first place.

The door was opened from the inside.

Shen Zhen saw the man standing in front of him at a glance.

Qin Xing had already changed into a bathrobe, revealing a large swath of lean muscles, and his hair was slightly damp, docilely draping on the sides of his face.

This made Qin Xing look ten years younger.

Just as Shen Zhen was about to speak, Qin Xing hugged him. In fact, it was not exactly a hug, just Qin Xing’s arms brushing past Shen Zhen’s waist and closing the door of the room.

It was just that after closing the door, he didn’t pull his hands back, but embraced Shen Zhen’s back.

“Miss me?” Qin Xing kissed the corner of Shen Zhen’s mouth.

Just as Shen Zhen was about to speak, Qin Xing kissed him again, and Shen Zhen shut up.

Qin Xing asked: “Are you busy tomorrow?”

Shen Zhen thought for a while, and said honestly: “It’s nothing, the company matters don’t need me to deal with it recently, and the matter of Mama Zhang’s son has been handed over to the legal team.”

Finally able to relax, Shen Zhen was also very excited, he was finally able to sleep in.

“Then can you give me tomorrow’s time?”

Qin Xing looked down at Shen Zhen, his question was gentle, and there was lingering affection in his eyes. Qin Xing raised his hand, rubbing Shen Zhen’s lips lightly with his thumb, and asked, “What do you say?”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Judging by Qin Xing’s appearance, it seemed he did not plan to let him go tonight.

Shen Zhen hesitated for a rare moment, many inappropriate images flashing through his mind, and his face flushed red.

“Do you want to take a shower first?” Qin Xing asked, “Pajamas and bath towels are all ready.”

Shen Zhen nodded stiffly: “Okay.”

Then he walked stiffly into the bathroom.

Standing under the shower, Shen Zhen let the hot water run down his body. He turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror. His face was flushed and his eyes were moist. It was obvious that he hadn’t done anything yet, but he still looked like something had happened.

Shen Zhen smiled at the mirror, and Shen Zhen in the mirror also smiled at him.

As if laughing at his current expression.

When Shen Zhen exited the bathroom, what he saw was Qin Xing lying on the bed with the bedside lamp on. Qin Xing’s bathrobe was already loose and the gap was even wider. Shen Zhen swallowed involuntarily. When Qin Xing was dressed properly, he always looked ascetic and aloof, especially when he wore gold-rimmed glasses, such that people dared not have any blasphemous thoughts towards him.

But when he took off his glasses and gloves and changed out of his three piece suit, he was so sexy that one couldn’t help thinking about it.

“Aren’t you coming over?” Qin Xing saw Shen Zhen’s expression, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to Shen Zhen, “Come here.”

Shen Zhen walked towards Qin Xing step by step. When he laid down beside Qin Xing, Shen Zhen felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Qin Xing put his arms around Shen Zhen, and kissed Shen Zhen’s ear: “You have been tired recently, right? Have a good rest, I won’t fuss you.”

The air that was still hot just now calmed down in an instant, and Shen Zhen lay flat on the bed, stunned for a few seconds.

But what followed was an indescribable feeling, he felt very warm and safe.

No one ever cared whether he was tired or not, and no one cared how he was doing. Shen Zhen let out a slightly nasally “en”, then turned his head, and buried it into Qin Xing’s chest. Qin Xing’s pectoral muscles were firm, not exaggerated, but not soft at all.

“It’s a bit hard.” Shen Zhen complained, as if he had suddenly shrunk in age.

Qin Xing: “Hard? Then I won’t go to the gym anymore.”

Shen Zhen looked up at Qin Xing, and found that Qin Xing was not joking, so he quickly stopped him: “Don’t.”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly: “Don’t you like soft meat?”

Shen Zhen pinched his own belly. He had neglected to exercise during this period, and his six-pack abs would not show at all if he didn’t tense his muscles. Shen Zhen let out a melancholy sigh.

In Qin Xing’s room, in this small world, everything outside seemed to have disappeared. Shen Zhen had the rare mood to joke, and said, “I like meat, but I only like to eat meat.”

He showed his sharp little canine teeth: “These are teeth for eating meat.”

Qin Xing stretched out his finger and put it on Shen Zhen’s mouth: “It seems that I can only give you a taste first.”

Shen Zhen pretended to take a bite, and then said in disgust, “It’s too salty.”

“Really?” Qin Xing said with a helpless look, “Then you can only eat something else.”

Just as Shen Zhen was about to speak, Qin Xing kissed his lips. His chin was pinched in between Qin Xing’s fingers, so he could only accept the kiss passively.

When the two separated, a wet smack sounded in the room, and Shen Zhen’s face blushed again.

Kissing was kissing, but what was up with the sounds?

How embarrassing.

Shen Zhen leaned on Qin Xing’s arm. He had a very unreal feeling. Even now, he was still incredulous about his relationship with Qin Xing. He felt that he hadn’t done anything to make Qin Xing treat him differently, let alone fall in love with him.

Qin Xing’s feelings came quickly and passionately, but also a little inexplicably, which made him feel deeply insecure while also being flattered.

It was just that Shen Zhen didn’t choose to ask Qin Xing. He felt that he didn’t need to care about the reason. Feelings wouldn’t give you a heads up when they come, and they wouldn’t give people time to react when they leave. The only thing he could do was cherish it as much as possible while it lasted, so that he wouldn’t regret it when he thought back about it later.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Xing also picked up on Shen Zhen’s slightly down mood.

Shen Zhen stretched out his hand, tentatively and slowly, and put it on Qin Xing’s waist. With his face against Qin Xing’s chest, he said in a muffled voice, “I’m asleep.”

Qin Xing: “Really asleep?”

Shen Zhen reached out and pushed Qin Xing’s face away: “I’m really asleep.”

After closing his eyes, Shen Zhen was wrapped in Qin Xing’s scent, which was very comfortable and full of security.

But Qin Xing was clearly a man who broke his promise. Shen Zhen was woken up by a kiss. He didn’t know how long he had slept, but he woke up in a daze and was passively pulled into intimacy. After a while, he fell asleep again, only to then be woken up again by a kiss.

This night was the most restless night for Shen Zhen.

On this moonless night, under the cover of darkness, he stretched his body, unreservedly diving into intimacy with the man beside him.

But the man was always restrained, his hands clenched into fists, placed on both sides of Shen Zhen’s shoulders, without any behavior that stepped over boundaries, so gentlemanly it was a bit too much.

Shen Zhen asked vaguely between being kissed: “Not doing it?”

Men, sometimes they were quite unscrupulous. Even Shen Zhen would have needs under such stimulation.

Qin Xing’s lips were pressed against Shen Zhen’s: “Do you want it?”

Shen Zhen was still a little dazed: “Yes.”

Qin Xing said with a low chuckle, “Sleep well.”

Although he said to sleep well, he didn’t give Shen Zhen a single chance to sleep well. When he got up the next morning, Shen Zhen looked in the mirror and saw his slightly swollen lips. He brushed his teeth and washed his face expressionlessly. He felt that the base of his tongue hurt a little.

Did Qin Xing use all his strength to kiss him?

“Did you sleep well?” Qin Xing walked into the bathroom wearing only a pair of trousers, and hugged Shen Zhen from behind. Qin Xing’s hair was a bit messy, but this only gave him a sense of wildness. His hands wrapped around Shen Zhen’s belly, and Shen Zhen felt a little itchy, involuntarily shrinking back, which caused his buttocks to bump directly into an unspeakable place.

En…..one was comparatively more energetic in the mornings.

Shen Zhen quickly rinsed his mouth: “You use the bathroom, I’ll go out first.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “I don’t mind you watching.”

Shen Zhen complained wildly in her heart——But I do!

So Shen Zhen ignored Qin Xing and walked out of the bathroom by himself.

There was the sound of water in the bathroom, and Shen Zhen began to put on his clothes. There were many clothes in Qin Xing’s changing room that were his size, whether it was formal clothes, casual clothes, or pajamas.

And the styles were clearly carefully selected, the formal clothes were practically the same, there was no difference except for the color and pattern.

However, there were many styles of casual wear, almost collecting the most popular styles of all luxury brands in the year.

Shen Zhen also found underwear that were clearly impossible for Qin Xing to wear, and he lifted it with one finger.

The poor pair of briefs dangled between his fingers.

Shen Zhen frowned. This kind of underwear must be uncomfortable, and it was obvious at a glance that it would dig in uncomfortably.

This one was actually not bad, but Shen Zhen also saw more extreme ones, thongs with alluring lace on the sides.

Shen Zhen put a hand on his forehead feeling a headache, and decided that he would never flip through these things again in his life.

As for wearing them? Qin Xing could wear them if he liked it so much, anyway he wouldn’t no matter what.

And he himself felt that boxers were obviously also very sexy, and no one stipulated that only thongs were sexy.

Shen Zhen imagined Qin Xing’s appearance in this style of underwear, and felt struck by lightning. That scene must be very eye scorching, but also inexplicably exciting.

No, this thinking was too dangerous.

“What are you looking at?” Qin Xing came out of the bathroom.

Shen Zhen immediately stuffed the two underwear into the cabinet.

But Qin Xing had sharp eyes, he had already seen it. He didn’t seem to be ashamed of his aesthetics at all, instead he said: “I think the red one suits you well.”

Shen Zhen’s expression was very embarrassed: “This year is not my zodiac year.”

Qin Xing said confidently: “The style is very attractive.”

Shen Zhen: “…..I think you should really watch more fashion dramas.”

“Is that disdain I hear?” Qin Xing seemed to like physical contact very much, and he hugged Shen Zhen again. Shen Zhen wanted to throw those two flimsy underwear into his handsome face, but after thinking about it, he begrudgingly gave up, so he could only say, “If you wear it, I will wear it.”

Qin Xing was lost in thought.

Thinking hard.

In the end he said regretfully: “Then forget it, since Xiao Zhen doesn’t like it, I won’t force the matter.”

Shen Zhen sneered.

Even if you force me I won’t wear it.

“Let’s go and have breakfast.” Qin Xing kissed Shen Zhen on the side of his face.

Shen Zhen stepped into his slippers and walked downstairs with Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen didn’t feel embarrassed, or afraid of being discovered about his relationship with Qin Xing.

Things have already happened, so what was the point of hiding like thieves?

Qin Yue, who was going to the dining room as well, just happened to stand at the bottom of the stairs, and what he saw was the scene where Shen Zhen came down with Qin Xing. He saw Shen Zhen’s slightly swollen lips and slightly flushed face, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Although Qin Xing and Shen Zhen didn’t make any intimate gestures when they went downstairs, Qin Yue was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Shen Zhen…..didn’t go back to his own room to sleep last night, did he?

Qin Yue was in a daze, he kept staring at Shen Zhen until Shen Zhen walked in front of him.

Qin Yue shook his head. He didn’t believe that Shen Zhen would be with his uncle. After all, his uncle had lived like an ascetic monk all these years. If he liked boys, there would be countless willing to climb into his bed. Why wait until today, and why choose Shen Zhen?

But the scene in front of him made him unable to deny it.

…..Impossible…..

He knew how much Xiao Zhen loved him.

Qin Yue approached the dining room like a walking dead, no matter what kind of food the servant brought, his eyes didn’t lift at all.

He must have misunderstood something, maybe Xiao Zhen chatted with Uncle too late last night, so he slept over in Uncle’s room?

As for the lips, perhaps a mosquito bite?

Qin Yue’s lips twisted in a wry smile, he didn’t even believe the excuses he thought up.

When eating, Shen Zhen naturally sat in the seat closest to Qin Xing,

But now no one was surprised anymore, they were used to Shen Zhen’s special status in the Qin family. No one was dissatisfied, to be precise, no one dared to be dissatisfied.

The reason why the Qin family had their current status was because of Qin Xing, so Qin Xing could do whatever he wanted.

No matter how jealous they were, they could do nothing but envy and hate.

Qin Yue could barely swallow the food, he didn’t taste anything. He kept looking at Shen Zhen and Qin Xing involuntarily. He didn’t know what he was thinking, he just wanted to see their intimate behavior to confirm his guess, but he was also afraid to see how close they were to each other.

He knew that if Shen Zhen was really with Qin Xing, then he would really lose Shen Zhen completely.

The food was lifted to his mouth, and it tasted like chewing wax.

Qin Yue felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.

“Eat more meat.” Qin Xing said to Shen Zhen, and placed a steamed dumpling on his plate.

After Shen Zhen ate it, he said, “It’s better to have a light meal in the morning.”

Qin Xing shook his head disapprovingly: “You are too thin.”

Shen Zhen shut up, he was almost 65kg now, yet he was still called thin.

Fortunately, he was tall, otherwise, if he was only 1.7 meters tall and had no strong muscles, and weighed 65kg, although he could not be considered fat, it was not considered a good figure either.

Qin Li suddenly interjected: “Youngest Uncle, I feel that the business and market in T City are very stable now, you see…..”

Qin Xing put down his chopsticks, put on his gloves after wiping his mouth with a napkin, and then said to Qin Li: “I’ll look at the performance report for this period first, and if there is no problem, I will transfer you back.”

Qin Li was overjoyed: “Thank you, Youngest Uncle.”

In the branch or in the head office, this was obviously a different matter.

Before Qin Yue disappointed Qin Xing, he had never been to other places.

Qin Li added: “I will not disappoint Youngest Uncle.”

Qin Xing smiled at him.

Shen Zhen also looked at Qin Xing’s smile, and he suddenly found that Qin Xing’s smile always seemed gentle, but they were actually without any emotion. His eyes did not crinkle at all, his smile clearly superficial.

Only when he smiled at him, did those eyes contain emotions.

Shen Zhen lowered his head with a silly smile on his lips.

Qin Xing, who was the first to finish eating, asked Shen Zhen, “Shall I send you back?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “No need, I’ll go back by myself, do you have anything else to do? Why don’t you go ahead and do it first?”

Their conversation was almost like that between an old married couple.

Qin Yue frowned while listening.

Qin Xing: “I’ll take Ah Li to the company first. Pay attention to safety when you go back, and call me when you get home.”

Shen Zhen nodded: “I know, you should also pay attention on the way.”

Qin Meng whispered to Qin Shan, “My teeth hurt from hearing all that.”

Qin Shan also replied in a low voice: “Me too.”

However, Qin Meng’s focus was not on the right point. He sighed, his tone full of envy and jealousy: “When will Youngest Uncle care about me so much?”

Qin Shan: “…..Don’t even think about it. Really, you are getting fatter and fatter. You should consider losing weight. If this continues, the Qin family will not be able to accommodate you.”

Qin Meng: “Please, don’t be so exaggerated, okay? Okay?”

Qin Shan laughed at her brother very bluntly: “It’s not okay at all, I am wondering if you will even need to be carried to your wedding ceremony when you get married.”

Qin Meng turned his head, unwilling to accept that this poisonous woman was his sister.

Qin Li followed Qin Xing with a look of admiration. When standing behind Qin Xing, Qin Li showed a rare introverted expression. After all, he used to always walk behind Qin Yue, but he was never this close to Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen was going to sit on the sofa for a while before going home. He still had to ask the legal team about Han Lang, but once he sat on the sofa, he didn’t want to move at all, especially when there were desserts from nine to ten o’clock. The pastry chefs hired include Chinese and Western styles, and their craftsmanship was very good. Shen Zhen was going to at least try the taste before going back.

Qin Shan was painting her nails on the side. She raised her hands in the air: “I want to come back to China too, but I dare not tell Youngest Uncle.”

Shen Zhen asked strangely: “Why don’t you dare to say?”

Qin Shan: “I haven’t made any achievements yet…..Besides, although Youngest Uncle never scolds people, I don’t know why but I am still afraid of him since I was a child. Whenever I did something wrong when I was a child, I could cry with just a look from Youngest Uncle.”

“Aren’t you afraid of Youngest Uncle?” Qin Shan turned and asked.

Shen Zhen said naturally, “I’m not afraid.”

Although Qin Xing was always aloof in his memory, he was not afraid of him, at least not as afraid as Qin Shan.

Qin Shan sighed: “That’s great.”

Shen Zhen smiled.

“Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen and Qin Shan looked over, seeing Qin Yue standing not far away.

He slowly walked towards Shen Zhen. The current Qin Yue was very different from before. His self-confidence in the past was always extroverted, probably because he knew that he was the heir of the Qin family since he was a child, so there was always a touch of domineering in his words and actions.

But it was different now, Qin Yue seemed to have learned to become restrained, and after losing all his halo, he looked much gentler and less sharp around the corners.

Qin Yue changed so much that he was like a stranger to Shen Zhen.

Who he liked back then was the kind of Qin Yue who was always full of confidence and seemed unbeatable.

But now Qin Yue…..seemed to be no different from others.

Shen Zhen stood up: “What is it?”

Qin Yue just looked at him, he shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”

Shen Zhen said to Qin Shan, “I’ll go back first.”

Qin Shan waved her hand: “Contact me when you’re free.”

Shen Zhen walked out, and just as he passed by Qin Yue, he heard Qin Yue’s low voice: “We will be able to go back to before.”

Shen Zhen thought he had an auditory hallucination, he stopped: “What did you say?”

Qin Yue didn’t look at him: “Xiao Zhen, you will understand me. What I said before is not just a casual remark.”

Shen Zhen sneered: “That has nothing to do with me.”

What would Qin Yue and Su Shiqing be like now without the smooth life they had in their previous life?

“Because Su Shiqing abandoned you, so you want to come back to me?” Shen Zhen said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’m not a garbage collection station here.”

“Something Su Shiqing doesn’t want, I will take it back?”

Shen Zhen patted Qin Yue’s shoulder: “You think too highly of me.”

“I’m not as great as you think.”
