Chapter 96 - I
Xie Qi didn’t dare to ask what he was playing because he felt a little overwhelmed.
But when he thought about Qin Yizhi calling him by his full name, he felt a little angry. He turned his head and said, “When you call a macho man, just call him by his given name. When you call me, call me by my first and last name.”
Qin Yizhi was surprised that he would say this. He was silent for a while and said nonchalantly, “So, what do you want me to call you?”
Xie Qi let out a “haha” and said, “You would call me whatever I tell you. That would be boring.”
Qin Yizhi: “… “. He paused and said, “Qiqi.”
Xie Qi thought: “…”
Hey, why was he bothering with this?
Qin Yizhi lowered his head slightly to look at him. Although Xie Qi’s face showed no expression, his lips were slightly pursed. The lip lines were deep and straight, showing a little displeasure.
Qin Yizhi was silent for a while, then called out in a low voice, “Baby.”
Xie Qi: “!!!”
Yao Wenzhu called him that, and his ears softened by half. Qin Yizhi called him in this low tone, and his face suddenly became hot.
But he still kept a tight face and said in a calm tone, “The voice is so low, I can’t hear it.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
He lowered his eyes and understood that Xie Qi was holding a grudge. If it was a normal day, he wouldn’t have opened his mouth like that.
With a silent sigh, Qin Yizhi raised his voice a little and said calmly, “Baby, is this okay?”
Xie Qi relied on the orange and dim street lights, so Qin Yizhi probably couldn’t see the blush on his face clearly. He said critically, “There is a lot of emotion missing. It must be full of emotion.”
Qin Yizhi asked, “What feelings do you want?”
“…” If it were before, Xie Qi would have been able to tease him without hesitation: Of course, it was about the feeling of love.
But now, Xie Qi felt a little ashamed.
Shame came too late for Xie Qi now. In the past eighteen years, he never felt that doing something would be shameful—except when he asked Xie Dai for money in his senior year of high school. But he didn’t do it too much, he wanted to maintain self-esteem.
Now, he felt ashamed.
He felt that such an emotion was too coy and a little too much, so his mood cooled down again, and he replied, not to be outdone, “Of course, it’s the feeling of liking me very much, and you like me so much that you can’t wait to take care of me in your hands.”
As he spoke, his teeth were so sore that he turned his head and didn’t look at Qin Yizhi.
Qin Yizhi’s teeth started to itch. He grinded his teeth slightly and said lightly, “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
Xie Qi: “Oh, you don’t dare.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
Qin Yizhi said lightly, “You deserve a beating.”
Xie Qi retorted, “Why do I deserve a beating? Do you want to beat your little wife?”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
He glanced at Xie Qi in confusion.
He could be said to be sharp, but he couldn’t understand even a few naughty words. He could be said to be simple yet very capable at scolding people…
Qin Yizhi’s thin lips pulled slightly, his face tensed, and he didn’t speak.
Xie Qi said quietly, “You will remain silent as soon as you can’t say anything. Silence is your best protection.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
After returning home from their walk, Xie Qi didn’t really play with Qin Yizhi anymore.
In fact, he was quite confused.
He realized one thing. After he guessed that Qin Yizhi liked him, he didn’t feel any resistance in his heart. Instead, he was a little proud.
In fact, Xie Qi’s temperament had never been very enthusiastic, nor was he very narcissistic—generally, boys were somewhat narcissistic, and the more handsome they were, the more likely they were to be narcissistic.
But Xie Qi didn’t have it, or in other words, he rarely had narcissism.
Someone had a crush on him in junior high and high school, and many people wrote love letters to him. When he received the love letters, he was rarely complacent and didn’t feel that he was very powerful.
Even if he didn’t accept it, he still had to protect the girls’ reputations, so he took them all back, crushed them with a small crusher, and threw them into his own trash can.
He rarely dressed himself up, so he shaved his hair short. Even if a female classmate of the same age told him that he would look better with longer hair, he remained unmoved.
Although he had a preference for shoes, he didn’t do it to please others. He just liked it. He always wore school uniforms, and it didn’t matter to him.
Anyway, Xie Qi didn’t think he was the kind of person who was proud and complacent when others liked him.
But somehow his personality got really weird now.
Why did he want to see Qin Yizhi jealous and tease him after he found out that Qin Yizhi liked him?
This was very strange.
He was afraid that he had really fallen in love.
The promised straight man was like a wall made of paper, which would break after a few bites.
Xie Qi was a little reluctant. Qin Yizhi was indeed handsome, and he was indeed considerate and attentive. If he was a girl, he would have fallen in love in a short time.
But he was a boy! How could he… Xie Qi truly felt that he was not living up to expectations.
