CH 9

Qin Zhongyue refused to stop after that earlier comment, “Why is it so rough and so hard? What have you been doing?”

As he said this, he squeezed Xie Zhongxing’s hand again and pried open his fingers to check his palm and saw that there were several faint calluses on Xie Zhongxing’s palm and the tips of his fingers.

A young master who knows nothing about the world.

Xie Zhongxing thought this.

He tried to take away his hand, but it was to no avail. Seeing Qin Zhongyue feeling around and pinching as if he had never seen a callus before, he couldn’t help but be somewhat speechless, “Why do you think I have calluses?”

Qin Zhongyue immediately looked up with bright eyes. He suppressed his voice and asked, “Was it from training your gun?”

Xie Zhongxing: “?”

Qin Zhongyue smirked, “I understand. Having strong desires at your age is very normal. Even I basically did it once every two or three days.”

As he said that, he suddenly recalled their bed affairs and felt his heart tremble.

No wonder Xie Zhongxing had such strong libido, pestering him to do it every day. Turns out he has been like this since he was young!

I see, I see! Qin Zhongyue looked at Xie Zhongxing with a look of understanding.

Xie Zhongxing’s eyelid couldn’t help but twitch when he saw him looking at him like that. His lips moved, wanting to explain, but Qin Zhongyue seemed to have already concluded that his guess was correct and proceeded to pat his shoulder and whisper next to his ear, “A drop of essence is equal to ten drops of blood. Scientific research has shown that doing it too much can affect your development. I have almost completely grown so doing it is okay, but you should be more restrained. If you put a stop to it now, you can grow at least another five centimetres!”

Xie Zhongxing, “…………….”

He spoke calmly, “Thank you for your reminder but I want to clarify that it is not what you’re thinking.”

Qin Zhongyue’s expression was very sincere, “Don’t worry, I will keep it a secret. You don’t have to worry about me telling anyone. It’s not a sin for men to be lewd!”

Xie Zhongxing gently beckoned him to come closer. His beautiful eyes seemed to glow with faint brilliance, “Come closer. I have something to tell you.”

Qin Zhongyue was now very close to Xie Zhongxing, almost a handspan away, and could clearly see the other party’s soft and tender eyes as well as their pale cheeks that still contained some baby fat. Under the soft morning light, he looked even more beautiful and exquisite…..Qin Zhongyue couldn’t help but be captivated.

Xie Zhongxing saw him staring at him in daze and proceeded to lean closer towards him.

With the other party’s face at such a close proximity, Qin Zhongyue’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned his head away, “W-what are you doing?”

Seeing that his reaction was quite big, Xie Zhongxing sat back down and answered calmly. “I wanted to tell you a secret.”

With his face flushed and heart racing, Qin Zhongyue swallowed nervously. A small part of him felt that Xie Zhongxing was trying to seduce him, but he didn’t have any evidence. He could only lower his head hesitantly, “……Go ahead.”

Xie Zhongxing took in his red ears and raised a brow slightly. He leaned closer and whispered, “Let me tell you a secret.”

Qin Zhongyue’s sensitive ears twitched a little, but he held himself back from moving. Xie Zhongxing paused for a moment and then continued, “The calluses on my hands were a result of holding something with a handle all year round.”

Qin Zhongyue also lowered his voice and asked with a small whisper, “A handle? Aren’t you talking about that handle?”

Still whispering in his ear, Xie Zhongxing’s tone suddenly turned cold, “No, it’s a gun.”

Qin Zhongyue: “………”

He turned to look at Xie Zhongxing, his eyes suddenly showing fear.

Xie Zhongxing whispered, “Actually, I am a secret service agent trained by a secret organisation.”

He raised his eyes and then proceeded to look at Qin Zhongyue and say, “The calluses on my hands were indeed from using a gun, but it’s not that gun but a real gun, a gun used for killing.”

Qin Zhongyue: “…….”

Qin Zhongyue instantly sat up straight and increased the distance between himself and Xie Zhongxing by a few centimetres, falling completely silent.

Seeing his reaction, Xie Zhongxing couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips, revealing a faint smile.

Finally, it’s quiet.

But not long afterwards, Qin Zhongyue once again leaned towards him and ask both sincerely and cautiously, “Are….Are you really a secret service agent?”

Xie Zhongxing also answered in an equally sincere manner, “The one and only, all truth, no lies.”

Qin Zhongyue thought to himself: No wonder he was so cruel, insensitive and controlling in his past life. Turns out it was from his training.

Xie Zhongxing said, “Please help me keep it a secret.”

Qin Zhongyue nodded very seriously, “I will protect this secret just like how I protect my virgin body.”

Xie Zhongxing, “……That won’t be necessary.”

After a while, Qin Zhongyue once again asked cautiously, “Excuse me, let me ask you another question.”

Xie Zhongxing looked at him, his eyes still calm.

Qin Zhongyue asked slowly, “Then, have you killed people before?”

Xie Zhongxing turned his eyes away and calmly answered, “Once.”

Qin Zhongyue, “……..”

He didn’t dare speak anymore.

Satisfied, Xie Zhongxing pulled out another paper from his desk and started to work on it.

That night, Qin Zhongyue gave Li Jun a call.

Li Jun’s end was extremely noisy. He quickly said a line, “Wait a second.”

Once he reached a quieter place, he asked, “What is it? After only transferring for a day, you want to come back?”

Qin Zhongyue said, “No……”

He sorted out his complicated feelings and then asked seriously, “Li Jun, do you know much about being a secret service agent?”

Li Jun, “Huh?”

“How do I find the boss behind a secret service agent? Would money be enough to set a secret service agent free?”

Li Jun: “…………..”

Li Jun thought numbly to himself: It had only been one day but why was it that he could no longer understand a single word spoken by Qin Zhongyue?

In just a few days, Qin Zhongyue had managed to mingle very well with his classmates. He was tall, good-looking, rich, generous and also down-to-earth without putting on airs so, regardless of whether they were male or female, they were all able to get along with Qin Zhongyue.

Qin Zhongyue would often go out to play basketball with some of the boys in the class in the afternoon. During this time, they would naturally also talk about Xie Zhongxing. Faced with Qin Zhongyue’s inquiries, the boys would comment one after another, “You’re asking about Xie Zhongxing? He’s good-looking and smart but very closed off and mysterious. When he came to enrol, his parents didn’t even show up. He also looks shabby, so he’s probably very poor.”

“Old Wang really likes him. Not only Old Wang, except for Dou Mingmei who teaches English, all the other teachers like him.”

“Huh? Why doesn’t Dou Mingmei like him? You should know that Dou Mingmei is very snobbish and likes those who are rich. Anyone who doesn’t come from a rich background would be faced with her eye roll.”

“Brother Qin, haven’t you noticed that Dou Mingmei treats you very well? She would smile whenever she sees you.”

From the topic of Xie Zhongxing, it had moved onto Dou Mingmei. The boys all had their complaints, “Dou Mingmei’s desire to marry a rich man is practically written on her face. At the parent-teacher meeting last year, she didn’t talk to any of the other parents and only stuck to Fu Donglin’s father. Fu Donglin is a sports student, so what could she talk to him about? She even added his WeChat afterwards tsk tsk.”

When gossiping, these boys talked nonstop.

Qin Zhongyue wasn’t interested in these things. He pondered over what the boys said at the beginning and suddenly remembered that Xie Zhongxing’s parents and younger brother had come to ask for money several times in his past life. At that time, Xie Zhongxing had just married him and Qin Xiangqian had given him 10 million yuan as a betrothal gift but Xie Zhongxing didn’t give his family a single yuan, even asking a bodyguard to drive them out…..

When he saw him do that at that time, he felt very uncomfortable inside. He had even asked Qin Xiangqian why he wanted him to marry a wife who treated his own parents so harshly, but Qin Xiangqian told him in response that he shouldn’t look at things on the surface and should look a little more deeply into things.

Unfortunately, apart from seeing Xie Zhongxing eagerly climbing the ranks and playing the role of a tyrant, he couldn’t see anything else.

…..Could Qin Xiangqian have been referring to Xie Zhongxing’s identity?

Qin Zhongyue suddenly felt that he might have discovered the truth. He immediately stopped the rest of his thoughts.

Upon returning to the classroom, Qin Zhongyue saw Xie Zhongxing sitting with his back straight and head slightly lowered, writing nonstop. That quiet and beautiful appearance of his was like a painting.

Qin Zhongyue thought in daze: My wife is so good-looking…..

He then immediately returned to his senses. No, no, no, he is no longer his wife.

A strange emotion surfaced from the depths of Qin Zhongyue’s heart. His heart seemed to have stopped beating for a few seconds because of those few words.

He walked over and sat down next to Xie Zhongxing.

Xie Zhongxing didn’t even spare him a single glance. Qin Zhongyue also pretentiously picked up a book, turned a few pages and then closed the book again. Resting his elbow on the desk, he stared at Xie Zhongxing, his gaze travelling down from his long eyelashes to his tall nose and then at his plump and rosy lips.

His stare was scorching and becoming more and more unbearable. Xie Zhongxing could only raise his eyes to glance at him and ask in a low voice. “Need something?”

The jut in Qin Zhongyue’s throat moved a few times. His eyes shone brightly.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Xie Zhongxing stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him.

The eighteen-year-old Xie Zhongxing’s eyes were calm and pure, without the coldness and sharpness from ten years later. Qin Zhongyue however felt that he was like a sleeping lion. Once awakened, everyone would kneel down before him.

Qin Zhongyue suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry. His gaze travelled across Xie Zhongxing’s clear eyes before hurriedly landing on the small tear mole under Xie Zhongxing’s left eye. In a trance, he suddenly remembered back when Xie Zhongxing first married him. When he first saw that tear mole moving under the light he couldn’t help but lick it. It caused Xie Zhongxing to tremble and squeeze his eyes shut, letting him taste a large teardrop that was warm and a little salty in the process.

Qin Zhongyue originally quite liked that mole, because Xie Zhongxing easily shed tears when he licked it, but after joining the company, Xie Zhongxing had gone to remove it. It was said that he had felt that it was too soft-looking, making him appear not overbearing enough….

Qin Zhongyue stared at the mole as his thoughts drifted further and further away.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Xie Zhongxing got a little impatient. He proceeded to turn back and continue working on his papers.

Qin Zhongyue was only able to return to his senses when he could no longer see that tear mole. He hesitated for a moment before stretching out and poking Xie Zhongxing.

Xie Zhongxing ignored him.

Qin Zhongyue poked him again.

Xie Zhongxing didn’t look up, “What is it?”

Qin Zhongyue asked, “Do you get paid as a secret service agent? How much do you get a month?”

Xie Zhongxing, “……..”
