TSIBAMS Chapter 94
by VolareHe rushed over dragging his luggage, looking like he was either going to tackle someone or punch them.
Given that they were in a public place, the first possibility was ruled out.
Qi Guang didn’t dodge, standing straight in place, and tightly hugged him before he could act.
The anger that had barely taken over the high ground amidst countless thoughts of longing almost surrendered because of this long-awaited hug.
You dog thing! Where did you learn these tricks?
Ye Xing kept his face stiff and didn’t say anything, nor did he reach out to hug him back.
Qi Guang reached out and rubbed his back, “Did you miss me?”
“Don’t fucking change the subject!” Ye Xing took a step back.
This step back made Qi Guang feel a little offended, and for a moment he didn’t know whether he should coax him or seriously argue, so he just stared at his face for a while.
He’s lost weight.
Soon Ye Xing couldn’t stand him staring like this anymore, and took a deep breath, “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“You’re not angry anymore?” Qi Guang immediately relaxed.
“I’ll give you a chance to explain,” Ye Xing looked at him.
“Anyway, it wasn’t my fault,” Qi Guang said as he took the luggage from his hand and walked into the bar, “I don’t know where a few kids came from, they ran over and smashed the surveillance camera at the door of the bar, and Bai Shu just happened to come out to take out the trash and rushed up to stop them, and then they started fighting.”
Ye Xing followed him, “Bai Shu knows how to fight?”
“No, Xu Ge used to protect him very well, this is the first time he’s been wronged,” Qi Guang put the suitcase in the storage room and found an empty seat at the bar to sit down, “Luckily, I was about to go out to pick you up at that time, so Bai Shu didn’t get hit too much.”
“How many of them were there?” Ye Xing asked.
“I’d say about seven, but they didn’t all join in, they looked like students from some nearby vocational school, not very tough, I guess they just wanted to smash the surveillance camera and run, they weren’t prepared to fight,” Qi Guang said, suddenly finding it a little funny, “Oh yeah, they even argued for a while, they insisted that installing surveillance cameras at the door of our bar was illegal, can you believe that? A bunch of random kids come and talk to us about some random laws, it doesn’t seem like they were drunk…”
Looking at him laughing, Ye Xing wasn’t in the mood to play along, and stared blankly for a while, worried.
After a long while, he finally said, “It’s already December, isn’t Li Zhendong done with Xu Ge yet?”
Qi Guang’s smile froze a little, “You think it was him too?”
“It’s not that I think so! It’s always him! Always!” Ye Xing was inexplicably annoyed.
He thought of what Xu Ge always said—better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.
Although at first glance this saying sounded like it was for thugs, the fact proved that it was the truth. If you get tangled with a petty person, you will be endlessly tormented, and you won’t even know where to shoot if you’re being plotted against!
“Ever since Xu Ge openly broke up with him, people have been coming to cause small troubles every now and then,” Qi Guang said, glancing at him, “What would you like to drink?”
Ye Xing glanced at the bartender who was doing fancy ice shaking and shook his head, “No, it’s too cold.”
“Okay, I’ll pour you a glass of hot water.”
Qi Guang was about to get up when Ye Xing grabbed him and pulled him back down onto the stool, “So, where exactly are you hurt?”
“I’m not,” Qi Guang saw that he was really angry today, so he obediently sat down and obediently answered his question.
“Then Bai Shu…”
“Some shameless bastard scratched him with a broken beer bottle, if I had known Bai Shu was injured, I would have made sure they didn’t get away!” Qi Guang was also getting angry as he said this.
As soon as he said that, Bai Shu’s voice was heard from behind him.
“Don’t be angry, I’m fine.”
Qi Guang and Ye Xing turned their heads together and saw the two people behind them. Bai Shu’s expression had returned to normal, and Xu Ge, with a dark face, didn’t say hello either, and walked straight to the refrigerator to grab a can of beer.
It looked like he was not less angry than Ye Xing.
“Is the wound taken care of? Let me see,” Qi Guang extended his leg to hook a stool for Bai Shu to sit on.
Bai Shu slowly rolled up his sleeve, revealing a large piece of gauze, “It’s good that I went to the hospital, the doctor cleaned out some glass shards.”
The wound could not be seen through the gauze, but blood could still be faintly seen seeping out.
“They put in a few stitches,” Xu Ge said coldly from the side.
“It’s that serious?” Ye Xing frowned.
Bai Shu smiled, “It’s not serious, actually, it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t stitched, but the doctor said it would heal faster this way, they can be removed in a week.”
Even if they were removed, it would probably leave a scar, and thinking about the possibility of a noticeable scar on Bai Shu’s fair arm, Ye Xing felt a little sorry.
This is the legendary white moonlight!
Before rolling his sleeve back down, Bai Shu took a picture of the wound with his phone, with the flash on.
This action caught Ye Xing’s attention.
But before he had time to think more, Bai Shu put down his phone after taking the picture and did not do anything else.
Ye Xing tentatively asked, “I thought you were going to send it to someone?”
“Ah?” Bai Shu was stunned, then reacted and smiled, “I just took it as a souvenir, after all, I’ve been with Xu Ge for so long, and this is the first time I’ve gotten hurt.”
At this time, Qi Guang also came over, “It is worth remembering, after all, it might only happen once in your life.”
Thinking about what he said earlier about Bai Shu being protected well by Xu Ge, Ye Xing suddenly felt a little emotional.
After feeling emotional, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness for his own unrequited love roommate, and quickly pulled out his phone to send a message to Li Ke.
-Bai Shu is injured.
The reply was almost instantaneous.
-Damn! What happened?
Ye Xing took a breath, he had already tipped him off this much, but did he still not know what to do?
-Ask him yourself!
After clicking send, he put his phone back in his pocket.
“Damn bastards, don’t let me catch you next time!” Xu Ge, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly roared angrily.
Qi Guang raised his arm and bumped into Xu Ge, “If those guys dare to come again next time, I’ll smash their dog heads with you!”
Xu Ge didn’t say anything, he raised the beer and took a gulp, the aluminum can making a crisp sound, and when it returned to the bar, it was already deformed.
Today’s Xu Ge was a bit different from his usual carefree self.
Of course, no boss would be happy if the surveillance camera at the entrance of his shop was smashed.
After the college entrance examination, Ye Xing didn’t rush back to school, and only felt like his soul had returned to his body after resting at Qi Guang’s house for two days.
But after going to school, he realized that his presence or absence didn’t seem to make much of a difference in the classroom. After being away for so long, he couldn’t understand anything the teacher was saying.
This sense of disparity between being a success in the art studio and being like listening to a celestial book in the classroom was really ironic.
The mountain of materials, textbooks, and test papers on the desk was about to block his head, and he thought it would be convenient to sleep like that, but Lu Yueyang personally moved them all to the ground.
He spent a few days in a daze, and finally it was the weekend. Although Saturday was taken over by the workday, at least he could barely survive on Sunday.
To give the weekend a proper sense of ritual, Ye Xing dawdled until noon to get up.
Qi Guang was already busy in the kitchen.
He was sure of this after smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen.
What was strange was that, in addition to the aroma of the food, there was also a very rich and alluring aroma of wine.
He ran to the kitchen in his slippers.
“Are you awake?” Qi Guang, with his back to him, was stirring the soup pot while putting in rock sugar and cinnamon and other stuff.
This was…
Boiling mulled wine?
Ye Xing then remembered that a few days ago at the bar, he hadn’t drunk anything all night because he didn’t want anything cold. He didn’t expect that Qi Guang would immediately come up with hot wine.
Thinking of this, he was actually a little touched. Whether it was the wine that was making him dizzy or whether it was an outpouring of emotion, he hugged Qi Guang from behind and rubbed his head against the hollow of his neck.
“Drinking wine so early in the morning?”
Qi Guang also tilted his head and rubbed it back a few times, “I must have a pig at home, what time is it?”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get sleepy again after drinking?” Ye Xing giggled.
“If you’re sleepy, just keep sleeping. We don’t have anything else planned for the afternoon, just stay at home and watch a movie to pass the time, and we’ll go to Xu Ge’s place in the evening,” Qi Guang said.
“Okay.” Ye Xing hugged him tighter, expressing his complete satisfaction with this plan.
“You go play on the side, I’m going to cut the fruit,” Qi Guang moved his arm.
Ye Xing did not let go and followed him to the cutting board.
After cutting the apples and oranges, he followed him back to the stove and poured the fruit into the hot pot of mulled wine.
It smells so good!
“That’s quite romantic, who did you learn it from?” Ye Xing said.
“My mom,” Qi Guang said, “She often had insomnia, so she would drink a little wine at night to help her sleep, so she often boiled mulled wine to drink in the winter.”
Ye Xing’s body stiffened, and he immediately regretted his casual question.
Fortunately, Qi Guang’s tone sounded calm, which at least reduced some of the guilt.
“What are you spacing out about?” Qi Guang nudged his arm, “Take the dishes out!”
“Oh!” Ye Xing let go smoothly.
He didn’t know what he was being influenced by earlier, he didn’t even realize that there were several dishes laid out next to the chopping board. As soon as he saw them, all the flavors rushed over in an instant.
With wine and meat, both the appearance and aroma were perfect, and with his boyfriend by his side, this was heaven!
He threw all of the previous awkwardness out of his mind, and while humming a little tune, he filled the dining table with food.
Luckily, the dining table was not very big, and it already looked quite full with five or six dishes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Because no one usually visited, the door had never been knocked on, so the loud pounding was very startling.
“Who is it?” Ye Xing yelled to the outside.
“Express delivery!” The person outside replied.
Ye Xing looked at Qi Guang, who had poked his head out of the kitchen, looking alert, and made a reassuring gesture.
Opening the door, taking the delivery, closing the door, plus the time it took to say thank you, it did not take more than three seconds.
“What did you buy?” Qi Guang turned off the heat and came out with the pot.
Ye Xing was tearing at the tape of the delivery box while using a key to cut the tape, “It’s from Li Ke, I just remembered that he asked me for my address a few days ago.”
“He sent you something?”
Qi Guang took two stemmed glasses out of the cabinet to wash them, and when he came out, Ye Xing had already successfully taken out the contents of the delivery box, a small blue box, that at first glance, was all in English.
“Here!” Ye Xing shook the small box, “It’s not for me, it’s for Bai Shu.”
Qi Guang shook his head with a smile, “Your matchmaker after-sales service is really thorough, even taking on the work of receiving express deliveries.”
“There’s nothing I can do!” Ye Xing sighed, “He specifically asked a friend who came back from America to bring it, it’s like sending a swan feather from a thousand miles away, it’s just a pity that Bai Shu didn’t give him his address, so he could only send it here.”
Qi Guang was also amused as he poured the wine, “What kind of thing is it that he’s in such a hurry to send it? He doesn’t even want the person but still sends the thing!”
“Scar removal cream, they say it’s very magical, it can remove any kind of scar!” Ye Xing brought the small blue box in front of him.
Only then did Qi Guang see clearly, there was indeed a pattern of a scar on it, and the words “Scar gel” were clearly written below the pattern, he smiled, “Is it really that magical?”
He waited for a long time but didn’t receive a reply.
When he looked at Ye Xing, he realized that he was spacing out.
Tsk, you haven’t even started drinking yet and you’re already getting tipsy.
