In fact, Qin Zhongyue’s words were very touching. Xie Zhongxing however didn’t believe that two men could possibly get married.
Compared to such an unachievable promise, Xie Zhongxing actually wanted to hear the words ‘I like you’ more.But Qin Zhongyue never said those words.Xie Zhongxing lightly said, “Why is it not me taking you as my wife?”Qin Zhongyue was stuck. He then showed a complicated expression, “You want to be on top? That’s okay too, it’s the same thing.”In any case, Xie Zhongxing liked to ride on top of him in his last life.Xie Zhongxing, “?”Qin Zhongyue covered his face and whispered, “Just wait two years. In two years, we will be able to get married.”His mouth moved before his mind could think. As soon as those words were spoken, he felt a sense of relief.He thought of the hardship in his previous life. In fact, his memories of his previous life were becoming fainter and fainter. He even felt that it didn’t matter anymore.But when Xie Zhongxing heard his words, although his expression was calm, his tone betrayed him, “You should leave. I don’t want to watch anymore.”Only after hearing him say this did Qin Zhongyue remember that he had come with the purpose of watching adult films.Qin Zhongyue’s attention was immediately diverted, “Don’t be like this. Since I’m already here, let’s watch first and then I’ll leave?”Xie Zhongxing, “I don’t want to watch. I want to sleep.”After saying that, he stretched out his hand to push him out. Qin Zhongyue also didn’t insist on staying when he heard him say that so he could only leave his room.As Xie Zhongxing closed the door, Qin Zhongyue grabbed it and asked carefully, “Are you angry again?”Xie Zhongxing was sometimes surprised by how slow Qin Zhongyue was and, other times, he was surprised by how keen Qin Zhongyue was.He didn’t close the door and just leaned against it and stared at Qin Zhongyue, “Why do you think I’m angry?”Sure enough, he was angry. Qin Zhongyue thought for a while and said weakly, “You’re not happy about me saying that I would marry you because you’re straight?”Xie Zhongxing, “…..”Xie Zhongxing, “Think again.”
Before Qin Zhongyue could speak, Xie Zhongxing said, “I haven’t watched the films you sent me. I find it disgusting.”Qin Zhongyue immediately understood, “Then….you’re asexual?”He didn’t seem to recall seeing Xie Zhongxing having morning wood or solving his needs the past few months.…..But that wasn’t right. The Xie Zhongxing in his previous life could get hard.Xie Zhongxing, “………”He slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’.Qin Zhongyue’s nose was almost hit. He took a step back and let out a sigh of relief before knocking again, “Xing Xing, do you want a glass of hot milk before sleeping? Or have something to eat?”Xie Zhongxing didn’t answer him. Qin Zhongyue could only dejectedly go downstairs while glancing back at Xie Zhongxing’s door every couple of steps.Qin Xiangqian at this time had already taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa in casual clothes, working on his laptop whilst drinking coffee. Seeing Qin Zhongyue come down, he called him over and got him to sit down next to him.Qin Zhongyue sat down next to him with a glum expression, “Dad, why are you still awake? You’ll go bald like this.”Qin Xiangqian, “…...It’s only ten. It’s still early.”Qin Zhongyue said, “The doctor said that staying up after ten is considered staying up too late. It can lead to hair loss.”Qin Xiangqian was a little annoyed, “Stop talking about balding all the time.”Qin Zhongyue looked at him suspiciously, “Has it already started? You must take care of it properly or it will be too late in the future.”Qin Xiangqian, “………….”Qin Xiangqian said, “If you continue saying things with no filter, you will lose that good friend of yours too.”Qin Zhongyue’s eyes widened in shock, “Dad, what do you mean by that? Are you cursing me and Xing Xing?”Qin Xiangqian said with a heavy heart, “You should stop talking about that ten million all the time. That little friend of yours has gone through a lot, you should pay more attention to his emotions. Everyone has self-esteem. With him still so young and so gifted, his self-esteem is surely much higher than others. Even if he doesn’t show it, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. Are you trying to look down on him? You think that by foolishly saying that, the other party would be appreciative of your thoughtfulness? What you’re doing is just putting him down. I’m anxious just watching you.”Qin Zhongyue subconsciously retorted, “He’s not like that.”Qin Xiangqian, “Are you him? Do you know him that well? You have lived a carefree life all your life, do you know what kind of life he has lived? Having been with him all this time, shouldn’t you be well aware of this? You lived a life well fed and warmly dressed while he was cold and hungry under the abuse of his adoptive parents. After being abused for eighteen years, the amount he spends each day probably doesn’t even exceed twenty yuan but just your watch alone costs several million and the clothes on your back costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. If you continue to spend money so thoughtlessly like that in front of him, do you think it would leave him with a good impression of you? He will just think that you’re dumb, a fool who doesn’t know anything about the real world. If it continues like this, he will eventually grow to dislike you and part ways with you.”Qin Zhongyue was frightened, “No way.”
Qin Xiangqian, “Why not? Humans are all like this. I didn’t want to say anything about this before. If you want to spend money on your friends, I was fine with it as long as it made you happy, but friends can also be divided into good friends and casual friends. Casual friends can only give you short-lived happiness while good friends would be happy to lend you a helping hand no matter how difficult of a situation you find yourself in.”Qin Xiangqian sighed again and said, “That Xie Zhongxing child is very easy to read. Since you have helped him, he is desperately trying to repay you, doing whatever he can. He naturally wouldn’t say anything about your actions but he probably doesn’t feel that great inside. If you really care about this friend of yours, you should be more careful..”Qin Zhongyue stopped talking. He felt that Qin Xiangqian was right.A while later, Qin Zhongyue asked in a small voice, “Then what should I do to restore his impression of me?”Qin Xiangqian could only say, “Try and watch that mouth of yours, don’t just say whatever comes to your mind and don’t show off your superiority in front of him. Even if you have money, you shouldn’t rub it in his face. Think about it. Have you often done something like that in front of him in the past?”Aggrieved, Qin Zhongyue retorted, “I wasn’t trying to act superior in front of him.”Qin Xiangqian, “Didn’t you give him a watch worth several million? And you said you like to give your friends expensive gifts?”Qin Zhongyue, “……”Qin Xiangqian said, “Think about it carefully. Before you want to show off your superiority, you should also remember that your money is my money. Without me, you have nothing. Men should rely on themselves to make money and not rely on their father. That is what makes one a true man.”Qin Zhongyue, “……..If you told me this earlier, I would’ve already become China’s Bill Gates.”Qin Xiangqian, “What China’s Bill Gates, stop bragging.. As long as you are able to successfully graduate from a good university, I am satisfied.”Qin Zhongyue was hurt, “Can’t you hold more expectations for me?”Qin Xiangqian sighed, “I used to. If I had hardened my heart and sent you over to your mother, you probably wouldn’t have grown up into such a fool.”Qin Zhongyue, “……..” Ah, he is definitely my father.But Qin Xiangqian’s words were enough to let Qin Zhongyue reflect on himself.But why was Xie Zhongxing angry at him?This kind of question wasn’t one he could ask Qin Xiangqian so Qin Zhongyue could only keep it inside him.The next day, with Qin Xiangqian’s words in his mind, Qin Zhongyue paid special attention to his words and actions.Xie Zhongxing was a little surprised by how quiet he was. Such a celebratory day wasn’t suitable for him to continue acting cold so he loosened his expression and asked, “After the banquet is over, will you be going back to A City?”Qin Zhongyue replied, “Yeah. I’m going wherever you’re going.”As soon as he finished saying that, a pleasant male voice sounded from behind them, “Congratulations Qin Zhongyue.”As soon as Qin Zhongyue heard this voice, his expression fell. He didn’t turn his head to look back.
Xie Zhongxing on the other hand glanced back and saw a tall man stride towards them with a smile on his face, looking like a rose in full bloom.Compared to Qin Zhongyue, this man seemed to suit the image of a wealthy young master more.He wore a custom-made silver-grey suit and his hair was combed back, revealing his defined features and tall nose. With long and narrow eyes and thin lips, he was an impeccably handsome man.Those features that should’ve appeared cold and distant happened to be smiling at them at this very moment.Qin Zhongyue only looked at him when he reached them, “Shi Yanyu, why are you here?”Xie Zhongxing looked at Qin Zhongyue with some surprise. It was his first time seeing Qin Zhongyue look at another person with an expression like this.Shi Yanyu said, “Why? I can’t come? We’ve grown up together after all and you’re saying that I can’t even attend your celebration banquet?”Qin Zhongyue was a little annoyed, “Hey, stop getting in my line of sight. I don’t want to see your face. Just looking at it makes me want to puke out yesterday's food.”Shi Yanyu, “Really? You’re reacting that strongly just from seeing my face?”Qin Zhongyue got ready to leave but he then heard Shi Yanyu say to Xie Zhongxing, “This is the classmate who helped you get into Tsinghua University, right? I saw him on TV before but I didn’t expect him to look even better in person.”Qin Zhongyue’s foot that was already preparing to step away instantly turned back. He stood in between Qin Zhongyue and Shi Yanyu, “Don’t mess around.”Shi Yanyu laughed, “What? You’re afraid that I would steal him from you?”Qin Zhongyue warned, “Don’t even think about it. If you do, I’ll beat you up.”Shi Yanyu spread open his hands and shrugged, “Okay, I won’t do anything.”But as soon as Qin Zhongyue sighed in relief, he heard Shi Yanyu say to Xie Zhongxing, “Hi, can I add you as friend? I’m also not very good with my studies and would like your help.”Qin Zhongyue exploded, “Shi Yanyu, have you had enough? Believe it or not, I’ll actually hit you!”Shi Yanyu smiled at him, “I’m talking to this classmate here.”Xie Zhongxing, “Sorry, I don’t have a phone.”Shi Yanyu’s smile faltered for a moment, “Ah, I see. That’s a pity.”After Qin Zhongyue hurriedly dragged Xie Zhongxing away, Shi Yanyu’s smile completely disappeared. He wasn’t the type who liked to smile. That cold and distant appearance of his was something that had developed from his cold temperament.A younger man came over and called out cautiously, “Brother Yu, you don’t have a good relationship with Young Master Qin?”Shi Yanyu glanced at him and answered coldly, “Qi Yaoming, I have already helped you get into this place. As for whether or not you can get into his circle, it’ll depend on you. I can’t help you with that.”
Qi Yaoming was a little disappointed. Shi Yanyu who saw this look in his eyes revealed a look of contempt and promptly walked away.After Qin Zhongyue dragged Xie Zhongxing to the side, he said to him, “That guy is not a good person. Don’t pay him any attention.”Xie Zhongxing asked with confusion, “Isn’t he your childhood friend?”Qin Zhongyue, “We did grow up together, but we’re mortal enemies. Like fire and water!”Now that he was on this topic, he had a lot to say, “He is actually very sly. He was an illegitimate child and was sent to an orphanage by his father as a child before being adopted back by his father and his wife as an orphan. He has two older brothers above him and a younger sister below and have been competing against them for his father’s favour. Right now, the entire Shi family is almost all his.”Qin Zhongyue, “I don’t like wicked people like him so I don’t hang out with him. He’s trying to get close to you because he has ill-intentions and wants to wring you dry. You should ignore him.”He had also heard rumours in his previous life about Shi Yanyu seemingly wanting to hook up with his wife.It was because Xie Zhongxing had later become the vice president of the Qin Enterprise.Qin Zhongyue didn’t know if he had managed to successfully hook up with him. Just like how he was 100% loyal to his wife, he had also taken for granted that Xie Zhongxing would be 100% loyal to him. Marriage is a very sacred thing after all. Even if he didn’t know what Xie Zhongxing was thinking, he could tell that Xie Zhongxing was just as serious and responsible as he was towards this relationship.Xie Zhongxing who heard this blinked a few times and made a sound of understanding.Seeing that he understood, a silly smile appeared on Qin Zhongyue’s face.Xie Zhongxing looked at him, “What are you smiling for?”Qin Zhongyue whispered, “I just feel that even if I didn’t say anything, you probably wouldn’t like Shi Yanyu anyway.”Xie Zhongxing, “Why?”Qin Zhongyue thought about it, “Intuition, I guess.”Xie Zhongxing smiled lightly and looked away, “Indeed. I don’t like scheming people.”Qin Zhongyue subconsciously asked, “What about me?”Xie Zhongxing, “What about you?”Qin Zhongyue said shyly, “I’m not very scheming.”Xie Zhongxing, “…..I also don’t like fools.”Qin Zhongyue was stunned for a moment. He said weakly, “But I’m not a fool?”Xie Zhongxing looked at him and softened his tone, “Be more confident in yourself. You are a fool.”Qin Zhongyue, “………….”
