Chapter 32

"When will Brother Sizhi depart?" Rong Xi suppressed his reluctance and put on an easygoing front.

Qin Ke curved his lips in a soft smile, took out a porcelain bottle, and placed it in Rong Xi's hand.

"Chen Chuangu prepared this. It can ease soreness."

The porcelain bottle in his palm was neither warm nor cold to the touch. Warmth rose in Rong Xi's heart, and he smiled. "Sorry for the trouble, Brother Sizhi."

Qin Ke lowered his long lashes. A lingering reluctance suddenly welled up within him, mixed with an unfamiliar emotion that left him momentarily dazed.

"What kind of person is the woman you like?" he suddenly asked.

Rong Xi stood stunned for a long while before answering, "You and I are friends, so I do not wish to hide it from you. Though forcing Young Master Liang before was an act, my liking for men is real."

He gave a self-mocking smile. "If Brother Sizhi finds it improper, I will surely refrain from troubling you in the future."

Yet Qin Ke only felt his heart beating like a drum.

Author's Note:

Six thousand words for you! That is not too short, right? (A weak little remark: I used to write at over 2,000 words an hour, but my speed has dropped quite a bit with this novel, hahaha.)
