    Chapter 69: Return to school

    A few days before school started, Qi Zhixuan had to go back to Haicheng, and Pang Jing had already set aside time to send him back. Qi Zhixuan running around felt troublesome, but no one could win over Stubborn Fish, so he had to let him follow.

    The luggage was packed. It wasn’t too much. I thought I had some at home. If I didn’t have enough, I would go to Haicheng and buy some more. Qi Zhixuan didn’t plan to live on campus. After all, his home wasn’t too far away. The main thing was that he was a little uncomfortable living with others.

    When the plane landed, Zhu Mingyue’s assistant Xiao Wang came to pick her up, driving the pink bubbly Bentley.

    “Mr. Qi, Mr. Zhu said that this car should be left for you to drive, so that you don’t have to worry about buying a new car.” Xiao Wang helped carry the luggage and the cat’s flight box into the car, and sat in the driver’s seat expressionlessly, speaking as calmly as a robot.

    “Oh, okay.” Qi Zhixuan actually wanted to refuse in his heart. He had to drive to school. The color was too eye-catching, but when he thought about buying a new car, he had to choose and go through the procedures. It was also very troublesome, so he made do with it.

    “Xiao Wang, do you want to eat this?” Just as he was waiting at the traffic light, Qi Zhixuan handed him a pack of plums. He was a little dizzy after sitting on the plane for a long time, so Pang Jing opened a pack of plums and let him hold it slowly.

    Xiao Wang shook his head, his eyes not straying.He decided not to say another word to Mr. Qi. He had been fooled by his pretense last time, which made Mr. Zhu sign him up for several days of special training on “Corporate Culture and Communication Skills” and almost threw him into the mountains to train his willpower.

    “You and your swimming goggles will rest at home for a while. I’ll see what else is missing at home and go to the supermarket to buy it then.” Pang Jing held the person in his arms and arranged the next plan.

    “Let’s go together, I’m not tired.” Qi Zhixuan picked up a plum and fed it to Pang Jing’s mouth, and then the two of them chattered over what to buy for a while.

    Xiao Wang glanced in the rearview mirror, and his two heads came together to talk. He didn’t know what they were talking about, and he smiled happily.

    When the light was green, he continued driving. Xiao Wang had been Zhu Mingyue’s assistant for three or four years. He recalled that when he first met Qi Zhixuan, he was sickly, thin, didn’t talk much and didn’t like to go out. Occasionally, Mr. Zhu would go on a business trip and ask him to pick Qi Zhixuan up to the park to bask in the sun. Although he cooperated, he was always taciturn, like a plant lacking sunlight.

    After a long time, I seemed to be slowly getting better. I would occasionally talk to people, and even go on trips by myself. I heard that I even opened a store in Beijing.But now, it seems to be better, almost a different person.

    The man in the mirror smiles a lot, talks a lot, and has so many playful expressions that I have never seen before.

    He is particularly close to the tall boy next to him. They are like lovers and family members. They fit together very well and are very natural. When these two people are around you, it seems that something called happiness will pass through the air. Just looking at it will make you happy for them.

    “Mr. Qi, we’re here. You get out of the car first, and I’ll park the car and bring the luggage over.” Xiao Wang skillfully drove the car to the door of Qi Zhixuan’s house. Pang Jing first got out of the car with the flight case and followed Qi Zhixuan back home.

    After confirming that the windows were closed, they let the cat out. The swimming goggles came here for the first time. They were so curious that they ran around and inspected the place.

    This house is much bigger than the apartment in Beijing. It took me several days to get used to the swimming goggles. I was sleeping on the sofa on the first floor, listening to the footsteps of the owner coming downstairs, and twitching my little ears from time to time.

    Pang Jing came downstairs quietly, still carrying the backpack he came with. He would be returning to Beijing for training in a few days in Haicheng, so he didn’t bring much with him.

    In the past few days, he had arranged his home in Haicheng, filled the refrigerator with food, repurchased various daily necessities, and even ordered daily delivery of fresh milk for Qi Zhixuan. This man was so easy on his life that he couldn’t even return to the capital without some worries.

    The phone vibrated several times. It was a call from the car that had been booked. He touched the kitten’s head on the sofa and walked out quietly with his bag on his back.

    Qi Zhixuan was still sleeping, and Pang Jing didn’t want to wake him up. They were very busy these days. Last night, the two of them had time to do something else, and they worked until the early morning. However, this was also Pang Jing’s intention. He didn’t want Qi Zhixuan to see him off, because he was afraid that he didn’t want to leave, and he was afraid that he couldn’t control himself and wanted to take people away with him.

    He was sitting in the taxi, and the beautiful little bungalow was looming in the shadow of the plane trees, slowly moving away from his sight. In the gap, he could still see a little of the exquisite carved iron railings on Romeo’s balcony, where they had kissed under the moonlight.

    Beautiful eyes, soft lips, I like them so much. I really want to keep Qi Zhixuan by my side. As soon as this thought came to his mind, Pang Jing immediately looked away and stared at the receding scenery outside the car window, forcing himself to calm down.

    He felt that his thoughts were quite scary sometimes. When he avoided Qi Zhixuan before, a large part of the reason was actually because he was afraid that he would forcibly keep the person. He had not thought about being tied to him in a physical sense. He would fight for it if he wanted it. This was already his instinctive behavior as an athlete, but he knew that love could not be like this.

    Love requires respect and equality. They are only temporarily separated. Everyone has to become a better person. He closed his eyes and built himself up mentally over and over again, and finally got on the plane.

    Before Pang Jing arrived in Beijing, Qi Zhixuan had already woken up.

    He glanced at the clock on the wall sleepily. It was already past the scheduled departure time of Pang Whale.The alarm clock didn’t go off?He was so frightened that he sat up suddenly, feeling the pain in his body, and then fell back on the bed with a hiss.

    There was nothing around him, so the little fish must have left.

    Qi Zhixuan endured the pain and took out his mobile phone under the pillow to call Pang Whale, but a power-off prompt came from the receiver.Counting the time, I should be in heaven already.

    “Oh, it’s true.” He blamed himself for oversleeping and not having time to give it away, but he still felt that it was Pang Jing’s fault for being so late.

    After lying down for a while, he got up to wash up and looked up to find a sticky note on the mirror.

    “Have something to eat after brushing your teeth. There is food in the refrigerator. Warm it up in the microwave.”

    Quite considerate, Qi Zhixuan walked to the kitchen. There was indeed a small pot of seafood porridge and a few side dishes in the refrigerator, as well as a small box of washed blueberries. When the porridge was hot, he ate two of them, which were very sweet.

    After eating, Qi Zhixuan ran back upstairs to get his cell phone. He found that Pang Jing had called him back but had not received it, so he called him back immediately.

    “Are you here?” The call was answered almost instantly.

    “Well, we just landed not long ago.” Pang Jing’s voice was hoarse like a journey, “Have you eaten?”

    “Eat.” Qi Zhixuan said in a slightly dissatisfied tone, “Why did you leave on your own without calling me.”

    “It’s too early. You go to bed. Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

    “It’s not bad, it’s about fifteen days of military training.”

    Listening to his angry complaints, Pang Jing couldn’t help laughing: “It’s my fault. I apologize to you. There is an apology gift in the freezer section of the refrigerator. Please be sure to accept it.”

    “Ah? What is it?”

    “You’ll know it when you see it.”

    The moment Qi Zhixuan opened the freezer drawer, the little bit of discomfort he felt flew away in an instant.

    There were stacks of dumpling boxes neatly stacked inside, and each box was labeled: leek and pork, corn and pork, shrimp and three delicacies, beef and mushrooms…

    It was the Yuanbao dumpling wrapping method that he was familiar with, and it looked like it was hand-wrapped by Pang Jing himself.

    When he took the ice cream to eat a few days ago, there was no such thing in the refrigerator, and he didn’t know when it was packaged. He felt warm in his heart, picked up his phone and took a few photos, thinking that he would have a meal in the evening.

    But Pang Whale did much more than that. In the past few days, he found someone to build the inner fence of the yard so that swimming goggles could play in the yard. He also repaired the fountain that had been broken for a long time.

    At this moment, the little kitten was jumping around next to the pool and splashing into the water mist splashed out of the pool. The sunlight made the water droplets colorful, shining brightly on its soft fur.

    This scene was so beautiful that Qi Zhixuan took a few more photos and sent them to his account along with the dumplings just now, with the caption “Snail Girl.”

    As soon as it was posted, many people commented. Qi Zhixuan has not updated much during this period, but his account is still quite popular. Because of Liang Yuansheng’s plagiarism, a small painter was also burned, and the lawsuit between the two made social news.

    There are two universities opposite Little Painter. News spreads fastest among young people. His experience was so tragic that many people followed him out of love and affection. Now the number of fans has increased several times compared to before.

    Pang Luo Girl Whale set Qi Zhixuan as a special follower. As soon as she got home and checked her phone, she saw his updates and scrolled through the comments below.

    It’s so windy in Hogwarts: These are handmade dumplings!It must be the girlfriend of the little painter teacher!

    (Pang Jing’s heart: It’s true that the handmade dumplings have been made for several hours, but can’t my boyfriend make them?)

    The innocent cockroach is hot: some abstract kitten with glasses.

    (Pang Jing’s inner mind: Tsk, haven’t you seen swimming goggles before? They’re not abstract at all.)

    Xia Haojia: “Damn it, my wife has changed her IP. Is she going back to school?”

    (Pang Jing’s heart: Horrible, can you guess this?)

    Fan: The IP is correct!When will my wife be able to paint portraits again~~~~

    (Pang Jing’s heart: I can’t draw, do you want Qi Zhixuan to die from exhaustion?)

    Cute Tutu: It’s such a big house. It really belongs to the second generation of rich people.

    (Pang Jing’s heart: We are probably the rich generation now.)

    The snail fish complained while watching, and commented that Qi Zhixuan was very handsome. Obviously only two fingers appeared next to the dumpling box in these two photos. I don’t know where these people saw him handsome.

    The excitement on the Internet was not bad. It was only after school started that Qi Zhixuan finally realized the trouble of “being popular”.When he was sitting in the classroom, there were always people coming to see him and even asking for photos and autographs, which made him very embarrassed.

    He had no choice but to act like a thief every day, coming only during class and leaving after class, trying to avoid all public areas.After a while, the fever slowly dropped, and his life returned to normal.

    Among those people, there are those who truly care about him, but there are also those who want to gain traffic.Human nature is complex, and he has no way of distinguishing it, so he can only choose to avoid them all.

    “Brother Pang, Boss Qi has gone back to school, what should we do with his store?” This weekend, Pang Jing rarely went to practice extra. Xingxing played a few games and felt tired, so he played on his mobile phone for a while, and happened to catch up on Qi Zhixuan’s recent updates online.

    “It’s still being renovated. I’ll hire someone to take care of it after it’s finished. He should be back when it opens in October.” Pang Jing was looking at the cute photos of swimming goggles sent by Qi Zhixuan, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raise.

    “Oh, then you are in a long-distance relationship.” Xingxing said casually, still lamenting Qi Zhixuan’s past tragic experiences in his heart.

    Pang Jing sighed, he was also worried, who wants to be in a long-distance relationship, and Qi Zhixuan was frantically busy studying for credits, and it took a long time to reply to his messages. Sometimes no one answered his calls, and he often spent time in school even on weekends. Pang Jing was afraid of disturbing him, so he could only restrain himself and send him as few messages as possible.

    However, he soon had no chance to contact Qi Zhixuan, because for the competition at the end of the year, Pan Xiuping told him to go to Jiang City for a long training camp.

    Although Jiang City is also in the south, it only takes an hour to get to Haicheng by high-speed rail, but for training, there is no chance to go out!

    “How long do you want to train, coach?” Pang Jing felt that his relationship was out of the question. Not only could he not go out during the training camp, but his mobile phone would be confiscated. He could only use it for two or three hours every day from dinner to bedtime. What could he do with this little time? Long-distance love was all that was left.

    “Hmm… It seems to be 56 days. I’m not sure yet. Anyway, it’s about 8 weeks.” Pan Xiuping saw the bitter look on this kid’s face and couldn’t help but click his tongue. “You used to go wherever you were told and stay as long as you were told. You never complained. Why don’t you want to go anywhere after you fall in love?”

    “No.” Pang Whale denied, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he had always been serious about the competition, and Qi Zhixuan also worked very hard. They were a family and they had to move forward together.

    “Hmph, pull it down. I think your soul has run away with someone else.” Since it was confirmed that Pang Jing was in love with Qi Zhixuan, Coach Pan, a straight man, was simply shocked. However, seeing how this kid is loved and enjoyed at the same time, as long as it does not affect the game, let him go.

    Pang Jing saw Pan Xiuping preparing to leave after saying this, and then chased after him.

    “My soul is in good shape and I will train well as a coach.”

    “Don’t be blind, it depends on your grades.”

    “Then when will we go…”

    “I don’t know the specifics, but it should be within the next few days.”
