Teacher Qin Wei Isn't My Boyfriend

Qin Wei had an imposing air about him that made people unable to argue back.

And this was already the second time he had warned Si Di because of Huo Xiao.

No matter how angry he was, Si Di could not help asking seriously, "Why?"

The two looked at each other.

An unusual calm settled between them.

Qin Wei stood up, walked over to him, and said slowly, "Huo Xiao isn't someone to be taken lightly. I don't want to see you get tangled up in trouble someday and find it hard to pull yourself out."

After saying that, he fell silent for a moment.

As if afraid Si Di would misunderstand, Qin Wei added, "More precisely, I'm worried that Uncle, the neighbor who has looked after me since childhood, will be troubled and heartbroken because of his only son."

Si Di gave a scoff. "You don't need to explain. Even if you didn't say it, I'd know you were doing this for my dad. After all, all these years, you two might not be father and son by blood, but you're closer than father and son. You're the son my dad never had biologically. I may be his actual son, but at most, I'm just an unofficial extra. I have enough self-awareness to know that."

That was the root of his hostility toward Qin Wei.

It was also what he cared about most.

Whenever other matters came up, he always held his head high with pride, like a rooster brimming with fighting spirit.

Only when Si Guohua was mentioned would he mock himself in such a desolate tone.

Before Qin Wei could speak, Si Di sighed and said breezily, "I know you and my dad share a deep father-son bond, but I'll take responsibility for my own life too."

"You don't need to keep warning me over and over. I can say this clearly: at least for now, I don't have any other feelings for Huo Xiao."

He meant it seriously.

But Qin Wei frowned and seized on one point. "For now? What about later?"

"Who knows what'll happen later?"

Si Di shot him a glance. "Huo Xiao isn't ugly, and his personality isn't bad either. At the moment, I think being friends with him is quite pleasant. As for the future, who knows what might happen in an unpredictable future?"

After all that, he might as well have said nothing.

Qin Wei's expression grew even colder. "It's only because you subconsciously believe something might happen in the future that you're leaving room for it. Si Di, saying that proves that deep down, you do have a favorable impression of Huo Xiao."

"Oh, so what if I do?"

Si Di answered without a care.

To him, having a favorable impression of someone was not a big deal.

People could only become friends because they appreciated and liked one another.

That kind of favorable impression was perfectly normal, and that kind of liking was simply pure affection between ordinary friends, unrelated to romance or love.

Yet Qin Wei rebuked him, "So everything I said was for nothing? You don't reject Huo Xiao's feelings for you, and it's only a matter of time. As long as he's willing to persist, you'll agree sooner or later, right?"

There was reproach in his tone.

Si Di could not help snapping back in irritation, "Who can predict the future? Can you? Even if we're sworn enemies right now, if I suddenly changed my ways and shamelessly stuck to you, treated you well unconditionally, spoiled you, coaxed you, and tried to please you, can you be sure you wouldn't be moved?"

Qin Wei was stone-faced as he answered without hesitation, "I can."

"..."

Qin Wei said, "I'm certain, absolutely certain, that I would never be moved by you."

"??? I was just making an analogy. Could you please tell the difference between reality and an example?"

Si Di felt like his head was splitting open.

But Qin Wei said earnestly, "Even if it's merely an example, I can tell you clearly that I wouldn't, and it would be absolutely impossible for me to fall for you. That is my attitude toward the future. I'm not like you—indecisive and fickle."

Si Di stared at him in disbelief. "I'm fickle?"

Qin Wei said, "You have a boyfriend, and you haven't broken up with him, yet you maintain unusually intimate relationships with several people at the same time. If that isn't being fickle, what is?"

"Who am I intimate with?"

"Huo Xiao, Ji Yan, Yu Ning."

"..."

This was absurd beyond belief!

Si Di was so angry he laughed. After cursing, he pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. "I give up, I give up. Qin Wei, I don't bow to walls, but I bow to you. I swear I'll never argue with you again. Really, the nerves above your neck are dead, and your head is just for decoration. Arguing with you is straight-up bullying the disabled."

His tongue had been vicious since he was young.

Even though both his parents were intellectuals, his insults were especially ruthless and venomous.

Qin Wei was used to it and ignored the jab, relentlessly pressing on. "Isn't that the case? Would people without that kind of relationship put their arms around each other's shoulders, exchange affectionate glances, and make flirtatious eyes at each other?"

Well, damn.

A triple parallel accusation—his tone was more serious than a courtroom indictment.

Si Di stared at him.

His clear, wide eyes were full of disgust and the exact expression of Get out, my mom won't let me play with idiots.

With the mindset of a living bodhisattva saving all beings, Si Di took a deep breath and said like a scumbag, "If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do."

Qin Wei said, "..."

Fight magic with magic.

When Qin Wei fell silent, Si Di finally felt satisfied.

He blinked innocently and adorably, like a puppy.

Si Di gave a fake smile. "So what if I'm fickle? So what if I'm flirting with several people at once? I just have no class, no morals, no manners, and no bottom line. So what? Producer Qin isn't my boyfriend, and the cuckold's hat isn't on your head. Please stop meddling in other people's business, okay?"

A smile of death.

Si Di nodded politely but stiffly, then turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

The hallway was silent.

He laughed as he walked.

It was one thing for Qin Wei to mention Huo Xiao, but Ji Yan?

Si Di and Ji Yan had only met during filming today. They had barely exchanged a few words. How had that become exchanging affectionate glances and making flirtatious eyes?

And Yu Ning too.

They were a little close, sure, but Si Di and Yu Ning were two parallel lines. Their friendship could extend infinitely, but there would never be an intersection.

Speechless.

Seriously, capital-S Speechless.

Qin Wei had already been annoying enough. Now, at such a young age, he had become disabled.

Everything above his eyebrows had been amputated.

How pitiful.

The door opened and shut again.

The room fell quiet.

Qin Wei stood where he was for several seconds, his brows seeming to freeze over.

After saying so much, he had been preaching to a cow.

That lunatic did not have a brain to begin with.

He was afraid Si Di would fall into the mire and be unable to escape, yet Si Di thought he was meddling.

Heh.

He could do whatever the hell he wanted.

It was not like the cuckold's hat was on Qin Wei's head anyway.

Only Si Di's boyfriend was pitiful. Being blind enough to like Si Di was one thing, but his partner was unfaithful to him too.

Letting out a suppressed breath, Qin Wei followed him outside.

Filming had already ended.

He planned to return to the third floor for his suitcase. He needed to make time tomorrow to shoot a magazine cover.

Si Di was walking seven or eight meters ahead of him.

After entering the dormitory building, Qin Wei happened to see Si Di walk into the restroom from a distance as he passed the second floor.

A phone was hidden in the restroom's water tank.

Qin Wei had known about it from the start.

After filming, instead of returning to the dorm to wash up, Si Di went to the restroom first to retrieve his phone.

There was no need to think about it. He was going to message that warm gentleman he kept talking about.

That master fish-raiser really knew how to keep things balanced.

During the day, he had exchanged looks and flirted with his backup during filming. Once filming was over, he did not forget to toss a couple of fish pellets to the fish in his net.

Qin Wei shook his head coldly.

The next second—

Ding ding.

The phone in the pocket of his wool overcoat rang twice.

Qin Wei took it out and looked. A WeChat notification had popped up on the lock screen.
