Straightforward Young Man

"Don't you like Lin Weiwei?" Bo Yanqi looked at Qi Si, who was eager to distance himself from Lin Weiwei. For some reason, he was unusually patient and did not rush to leave.

"Of course not! How could I possibly like Lin Weiwei? I don't like women!"

After saying that, Qi Si carefully watched the man's reaction. "You... don't mind my orientation, do you?"

He admitted that he had deliberately stated his sexual orientation so directly, partly to test the man's bottom line.

If the man found it deeply unacceptable, he would leave immediately and would not provoke him again in the future.

It was true that he liked men, but he had no interest in turning straight men gay.

When Bo Yanqi suddenly heard Qi Si say that he did not like women, he was indeed startled for a moment, but he did not react much.

There was nothing to accept or not accept about such things.

He had met plenty of people. All kinds existed.

He did not like men himself, but honestly, there were no women he liked either.

"I don't mind. I have friends who are like you too." Bo Yanqi looked at the nervous little fellow before him, his tone calm.

Qi Si's eyes lit up. As expected of the male god he had fallen for at first sight—his mindset was truly steady!

"Really? Then can I pursue you?"

Bo Yanqi: "..." He had known this little fellow was straightforward, but he had not expected him to be this straightforward.

Seeing the earnest expression on the little fellow's face, he felt both amused and helpless.

"You..."

"Don't reject me yet! Just give me a chance to prove myself! If you don't agree, I won't do anything to you! If you really can't accept it later, I absolutely won't pester you!"

Before Bo Yanqi could get out a single sentence, Qi Si anxiously cut him off.

As though he was terrified that Bo Yanqi would reject him.

For the first time, Bo Yanqi experienced the feeling of helplessness.

"I meant, are you sure you want to talk about this here?"

Only then did Qi Si realize that they were currently in the restroom. It really was not the most suitable place.

"Then shall we go somewhere else?"

"Sure."

Qi Si had originally wanted to take him to the VIP seats he had reserved so they could sit down and talk slowly.

But in the end, the other man brought him to a private lounge that only the club's internal staff could enter.

Only now did Qi Si finally believe completely that the person he had fallen for at first sight had truly been invited by the Bo Household.

With another identity, he might have been easier to pursue.

"You don't even know who I am. Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" Bo Yanqi sat in a chair in the lounge, looking at Qi Si with interest.

"Are you?" Qi Si asked in return.

Looking at the young master of the Qi Household, Bo Yanqi experienced firsthand for the first time the recklessness others spoke of.

Just as he was considering how to make this little fellow give up on pursuing him, he heard the little fellow immediately give himself a satisfactory answer after asking that question.

"I don't think you are. You don't lack money, and aside from money, there's nothing you could scam me out of. You know Bo Yanqi, so you probably wouldn't care about the Qi Household's connections either. In conclusion, even if you are a bad person, there's nothing on me worth coveting."

"Are you sure there isn't?" Bo Yanqi asked with a raised brow.

Qi Si thought for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Oh! There is one thing—you're after my looks!"

Bo Yanqi: "..." He really was unexpectedly confident.

But the young master was not wrong.

Qi Si's face truly was outstanding.

Bo Yanqi had not interacted much with Qi Si, but he had crossed paths with Qi Wang several times in the business world.

The two brothers of the Qi Household were both unexpectedly striking in appearance.

Because Qi Wang was too good-looking, when he had first taken over the Qi Household, some blind fool had arrogantly declared that he wanted to keep Qi Wang.

Unexpectedly, though Qi Wang looked harmless, he was exceptionally ruthless when he acted.

Anyone who offended the Qi Household met a bad end in the end.

Bo Yanqi had also heard a rumor that Qi Wang was severely obsessed with his younger brother. Supposedly, offending Qi Wang might not necessarily leave one unable to recover, but if someone hurt Qi Si, Qi Wang would immediately turn into a "mad dog" and would not stop until he bit the other person to death to avenge his brother.

Bo Yanqi had never had a face-to-face conflict with Qi Wang, nor did they have any direct overlap in business.

The industries of the Bo Household and the Qi Household did not overlap much, so conflict between them was unlikely.

But...

Looking at the young master of the Qi Household before him, a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, Bo Yanqi suddenly felt that he might not have long before he met this legendary brother-obsessed man.

"Kid, you don't even know who I am, yet you dare pursue me. You've got quite the nerve, huh?"

Qi Si smiled flamboyantly. "I've always been bold, and I'm young. I have plenty of room to make mistakes, don't I?"

Bo Yanqi admitted that at that moment, he was actually a little envious of this kid.

He truly was young, so when he liked something, he charged forward without caring whether the road ahead was covered in thorns.

Bo Yanqi gave a soft laugh. "Kid, hasn't your brother taught you? Youth is your capital, but it isn't something you can squander without restraint."

Qi Si tilted his head and said innocently, "I'm not squandering it without restraint. I'm only pursuing you. Besides, look—I skipped the testing stage directly in order to avoid excessive wasted effort. And now, all you need to do is give me an answer: can I pursue you, or can't I?"

"What if I say you can, but reject you in the end?" Bo Yanqi asked teasingly.

Qi Si shrugged, his expression carefree. "Then it can only mean my charm wasn't strong enough to make you like me. But..."

Qi Si rubbed his chin, brows slightly furrowed, looking utterly puzzled.

Bo Yanqi looked at him doubtfully.

"Are you really not tempted? I'm not ugly, am I?"

Looking at Qi Si, Bo Yanqi had to admit objectively that Qi Si was not ugly at all. He could even be called exceptionally handsome.

"Not ugly."

"Then how could you not be tempted?" Qi Si looked at the man, the confusion in his eyes genuine rather than an act.

He truly felt that it was impossible for the man not to be attracted to him.

If anyone else had looked at Bo Yanqi with such confidence, Bo Yanqi might have thought they were sick in the head.

But when it came from this arrogant little fellow before him, Bo Yanqi suddenly found it rather cute.

Bo Yanqi thought that because he was many years older than Qi Si, he could not help treating Qi Si with a bit more indulgence.

However, this old man who had never been in love did not know that when someone found another adult cute, that was the beginning of attraction.

Looking at the confident and flamboyant kid before him, like a little sun, Bo Yanqi snorted with laughter. "Kid, do you know how old I am this year?"

Qi Si tilted his head, looking at the man in confusion. "A little older than me?"

He looked more mature than Qi Si, so he should be older. But he did not look old, so he was probably not that many years older.

If he was only two or three years older, Qi Si could completely accept that.

But in the next second, he heard the man let out a low laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Qi Si asked.

"Kid, you only graduated not long ago, right?"

"Yeah." Qi Si nodded. This body had indeed only graduated from university not long ago.

"Then do you know how long it's been since I graduated?"

"How long?"

"Ten years."

"How long?!"
