Side Story 7: Qin Shijing X Feng Louyu
The long summer rainy season lasted for many days.
Standing by the window for a long time but still not seeing Feng Louyu return, Qin Shijing took a drag of his cigarette and stubbed it out in the sink.
This is a university dormitory, and the two were "lucky" enough to be assigned to the same room.
Is he really being too strict?
He went out onto the balcony and reached out to catch the raindrops in the dark night outside the window; the pattering of the rain never stopped.
Perhaps it's a matter of mood, or a matter of rain?
Qin Shijing took out his phone and dialed the number he called every day.
"Beep... The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
The electronic voice was ruthless and cold.
Is he playing the role of a lonely old man?
Qin Shijing chuckled to himself, turned and went out, then grabbed his umbrella and headed out.
" Xiao Yu, are you alright? Won't your roommate be upset if you go back so late?" The girl picked up Feng Louyu's coat, which was hanging in the corner, and covered him with it.
The dark blue light shone on his profile. Feng Louyu looked up and smiled, then leaned back onto the table.
They'd already spent the whole weekend partying; the private room was a complete mess of bottles and jars, with nowhere to even step.
Most of the boys in the booths were sprawled out.
There was only one girl in the entire private room, but she seemed very bold, and the other boys didn't dare to make any advances towards her because she was the daughter of a school board member.
The girl sat alone beside Feng Louyu Feng Louyu, taking good care of him and even helping him drink a few cups.
Feng Louyu was still quite drunk, but he stammered, " Hao Jing, you should go home first, it's too late... It's not safe for girls to be out here, unlike us, we can sleep on the street without any problems."
Hao Jing chuckled softly, "With your looks, it's even less safe for you to sleep on the street."
She reached out to touch his golden hair, but a large hand stopped her, and the girl frowned.
He looked up, annoyed, to see who it was.
Why is it you?
Qin Shijing: "I'm here to pick up my roommate. I don't care about the others. Move aside."
Hao Jing: "No way! Xiao Yu isn't your property. Why should she listen to you?"
Qin Shijing: "You don't have to listen. I don't mind if someone else takes your place on the school board."
Hao Jing shook off Qin Shijing's hand, stood up, and retreated to the side, suppressing her anger.
Qin Shijing immediately bent down and picked the person up, his eyes sweeping coldly over the crowd present, noting that a few of them were still conscious.
"You can handle it yourselves. I'm taking Xiao Yu back with me. Also, don't bring him to such unhealthy places again." Qin Shijing was unusually lenient towards Feng Louyu's cronies, but that didn't mean he would let it go indefinitely.
This club is notorious for offering other services, and Qin Shijing was annoyed when his assistant reported this to him in the car.
"Alright, Boss Qin, you can go back now." The few who were more sober shivered when they received Qin Shijing's gaze.
Smiling, she watched Qin Shijing leave, thinking to herself that she wouldn't dare bring Feng Louyu here again, and bars... were probably out of the question.
" Xiao Jing, shall we take you home?" a boy asked.
Hao Jing gritted her teeth and watched Qin Shijing disappear through the door with the person in his arms. She tried to remain calm and said, "No need. You can take a taxi back when you're sober. I'll reimburse you."
"Okay, Sister Xiao Jing."
Hao Jing was the epitome of a pure and innocent girl at school. From the moment she started school, almost all her classmates and friends revolved around her.
She finally met someone she liked, only to have him blatantly snatched away. Although she was resentful, she had never seen such power before, as if kicking her father off the school board was such an easy thing to do.
She turned and left the private room.
All the way there, I was thinking about how to get Feng Louyu to come out next time, but with Qin Shijing around, it would only get more difficult.
She had no idea what Qin Shijing's background was, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly, which infuriated her so much that she almost lost her temper on the spot.
But her public image can't be ruined.
There were too many people there.
Hmph, but it's okay. There are no other girls around Xiao Yu, and besides, Xiao Yu has said that he is straight.
Qin Shijing won't have a chance anytime soon.
It's still too early to tell who will emerge victorious.
Qin Shijing took the drunk man to the toilet and, taking the initiative, reached down and gaggled him down his throat, making him vomit to his heart's content.
"Yue..."
Qin Shijing remained unfazed and patted his back without the slightest hint of disgust.
If this guy doesn't get it all out now, he'll definitely keep throwing up in the car later, and then he'll feel even worse.
I've vomited most of it.
Qin Shijing washed the man's face and then took out a handkerchief to dry the water off his face.
"Alright, let's go back."
Without an umbrella in his hand, Qin Shijing carried the person back to the car, where his assistant had been waiting for some time.
"Boss, going back to school or...?"
" Aode Garden, turn the temperature down a bit." Qin Shijing sighed helplessly, touching his neck; it was hot, but not feverish.
The assistant glanced in the rearview mirror; Young Master Feng was sprawled on his boss like an octopus, fast asleep...
The visuals are incredibly appealing!
He looked away, started the car, and slowly merged into the traffic.
The next morning
Feng Louyu slowly regained consciousness, and groggily touched his hand... those pectoral muscles?
My mind suddenly went blank for a moment, then I abruptly opened my eyes.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Qin Shijing.
"Awake?" Qin Shijing's voice was like a deep bass cannon, yet it carried a hint of gentleness.
Feng Louyu slowly closed his eyes again. With Qin Shijing there, he must have already taken a bath and changed his clothes. He didn't seem to be feeling unwell, so Qin Shijing probably gave him some kind of special medicine or something...
"Thank you for bringing me back yesterday. By the way... Hao Jing, what happened last night..."
Qin Shijing's previously gentle tone froze instantly, "You like her?"
Feng Louyu opened her eyes again, "What? No! Absolutely not! She's not my type."
Qin Shijing's tone softened slightly again, "She likes you."
Feng Louyu was taken aback. After exclaiming "Ah!", he asked, "How did you come to that conclusion?"
Qin Shijing: "What do you think? Why are so many people only taking care of you? Also, she touched your clothes yesterday, so I threw them away."
Before Feng Louyu could even catch her breath, the conversation jumped back to the topic of clothes.
"Oh, if you threw it away, so be it. If you don't like it, I'll just stop talking to her. You seemed really unhappy when you heard her name." Feng Louyu didn't ask why, but he believed that Qin Shijing's dislike for someone wasn't without reason.
When Qin Shijing heard this, the pent-up frustration he had felt the night before vanished instantly.
He firmly believed that his Xiao Yu was simply slow to understand.
It's not that I don't have feelings for him.
His unique position in Xiao Yu's heart is the best proof of that.
Qin Shijing rallied himself again and said calmly, "Alright, you can go back to sleep. I'll make you breakfast."
Feng Louyu didn't notice anything amiss and snuggled closer to Qin Shijing, saying, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still so early."
Qin Shijing opened his dark, deep eyes, suppressing his anger. "Go to sleep by yourself." He ruthlessly ripped Feng Louyu's mask off, then got up and left.
Feng Louyu rolled to the other side, but luckily the bed was big enough that he didn't fall off. He mumbled sleepily, "So fierce, who would dare to be your wife in the future?"
Monday afternoon
Feng Louyu had never felt so helpless as he did today.
That's right, Hao Jing, wearing Xiao Bai, confessed her feelings to him at that moment.
Say yes!
"Say yes!!! She's so beautiful, Feng, don't miss out!"
Say yes!
Feng Louyu made a shushing gesture, and the people around him immediately fell silent.
"Um... I already have someone I like." Being a directing major, Feng Louyu wore a regretful expression and comforted him, "There are still more good people in the world. Don't be obsessed with me; I'm just a legend."
Hao Jing couldn't believe that someone who had always been so gentle with her would humiliate her in front of everyone. No matter what, it shouldn't be like this...
She glanced around with a grim expression and saw Qin Shijing among the onlookers. His eyes even conveyed a complex mix of emotions, including sympathy, pity, helplessness, and mockery.
She took a breath, trying to steady herself. "Sorry, but I wish you all the best in getting together with the person you like soon." Bullshit! She was furious!
She turned and walked away quickly.
The people around also scattered with a chorus of "Tch!", some disappointed, some happy.
And it was obvious that Qin Shijing was secretly pleased in the group.
He walked over and gently patted Feng Louyu on the shoulder. "Go back."
Once the crowd had thinned out, Feng Louyu said, "My god, this is like putting me on a hot seat, using moral blackmail."
Qin Shijing snorted lightly, "You're smart."
Feng Louyu put his arm around Qin Shijing's shoulder. "Dude, thank goodness you told me, otherwise I really wouldn't have been prepared at all."
Qin Shijing hummed in agreement. "Good job. What would you like to eat tonight? Shall we stay at Aode Garden?"
Feng Louyu nodded. "How about I apply to move out? People are always coming to visit me at school, and my studies are plummeting." He was very self-aware; he felt he had been having so much fun lately that he hadn't paid attention to his studies.
Qin Shijing raised an eyebrow. "Should I stay at my place, or yours?"
Feng Louyu, used to freeloading, smiled and said to Qin Shijing, "Anything is fine with me, Brother Jing. Wherever you go, I'll be there too."
Qin Shijing thought to himself that the most dangerous person was his Brother Jing, who might be taken advantage of one day without even realizing it.
It's been half a year since the dating reality show ended.
"Others dream of bugles echoing through the camps, I dream of my university life." Feng Louyu recalled her university days, which were actually quite interesting. "Youth never returns, there's only a one-way ticket. You ask me which stop I'm going to? You are my final destination."
Qin Shijing was making him breakfast, a smile playing on her lips. "Sweet talker, tell me, who was the person you liked in college? You didn't make that up, did you?"
Feng Louyu steadied himself, then wrapped his arms around Qin Shijing's powerfully muscular waist from behind, and chuckled, "I thought you already knew I liked you. Even though I thought it was just brotherly affection back then, it's still affection, no doubt about it."
Qin Shijing stopped wielding his knife. He only realized later, after Feng Louyu had rejected others, that Feng Louyu had said she had someone she liked. He hadn't asked who it was, and he was afraid of hearing a different answer.
So he just kept being jealous of himself for so many years?
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Feng Louyu laughed so hard his shoulders were shaking, "Hahahaha... Are you stupid? You could have just asked me directly. Aren't you tired of keeping everything to yourself?"
Besides, you were so good to me back then; if you had just said it, I would have turned gay in a heartbeat.
Actually, that's not true. I might have turned gay a long time ago. You're handsome, have a good temper, a good personality, are good at studying, and have beautiful hands and feet.
In short, when I saw you participating in the swimming competition, I thought, "If someone like you confessed their feelings to me, I might be able to turn gay."
Qin Shijing was annoyed with himself and shifted the blame, "It's your fault for being too carefree; you didn't seem like the type to be attracted to me..."
"Hahaha, are you stupid? You're blaming others? I'm always taking advantage of you, don't you even realize it? Have you ever seen me taking advantage of anyone else?"
Qin Shijing: "No, so..."
Feng Louyu: "It's only because I'm in the thick of it, and also because you lack self-confidence."
Qin Shijing couldn't bear to think about it anymore; the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. They had been in a state of ambiguity for so many years before finally getting together. It was heartbreaking.
Then Feng Louyu said, "When you were filming abroad, did people often send people to your room?"
Qin Shijing didn't say anything, but first washed his hands.
She removed the hand from her waist, turned around, and hugged him tightly. "So, those bodyguards who were protecting me and helping me throw people out, were they all sent by you?"
Feng Louyu was suddenly surrounded and was taken aback for a moment. Then, she carefully inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from Qin Shijing and said softly, "I was a little worried about you. I didn't mean to stop you from seeing other people. I was herding cattle back in my hometown at the time, and I heard from my family that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. I just wanted to protect you, so I called back to Capital and asked my father to send some people over..."
Qin Shijing didn't know what to say, feeling both annoyed and amused. He hadn't realized his darling was so possessive until today.
"Since Mr. Feng, the cowherd, has done so much for me, Mr. Qin is planning to give him a reward. Would you like that?"
Qin Shijing's voice was coaxing and seductive, and Feng Louyu, caught off guard, was once again captivated.
next day
When Feng Louyu woke up, he found himself on an airplane, his ears ringing. He opened his eyes and looked around. "Damn it, Qin Shijing, where are you taking me?"
"Meeting the parents."
"What? Holy crap, I'm not ready at all! A gift..."
"I'm ready."
"No, what have you prepared?"
Feng Louyu looked out the window, but could only see the clouds.
"And where is this?"
"Over Country Y, ready to proceed."
"You're something else, Qin Shijing. Don't always play the 'act first, ask questions later' game." Feng Louyu sighed. Sometimes he really wanted to beat Qin Shijing up, but the guy rarely did anything out of line. Oh well, he'd let him off this time.
"It's my man, I have to pamper him." "Alright, let's meet then. But we've had our marriage certificate for so long, won't they have any objections?"
"No, I'm just going home to help you herd the cattle, and they don't mind. The main purpose of this trip wasn't to see them; I just wanted to get you out here to relax."
"That's quite a distance."
"Sweetie, come here, do you want to stay on the plane?"
"Hello..."
"Ugh..." Feng Louyu couldn't break free. This guy wasn't going back to see his parents at all!
