    Chapter 50

    It’s not just people who are beating up the mandarin ducks, but also Monday.

    The wonderful weekend was so short. After only two days, Xia Yize felt completely different from last week. It was like he had crossed an era, leaping directly from the age of dinosaurs to fighting aliens.

    Maybe he subconsciously knew that on Monday, the emperor would go to court early. If he didn’t wake up early, he would have to face an empty room and a cold stove. He opened his eyes and found that he had woken up two hours earlier than usual.

    Qi Ge was still asleep, with his hands still on his waist, holding the quilt.

    Xia Yize didn’t dare to move, breathing softly. He could trace Qi Ge’s face without restraint. His usually cold and serious look was actually very gentle when he was sleeping. A fair face, red lips, and a touch of color as the finishing touch made the whole face come alive.

    Xia Yize couldn’t help but kiss the corner of his mouth gently. At this time, the hands on his waist tightened. When he opened his eyes, he met the eyes of Qi Ge who was very close at hand.

    Qi Ge was woken up, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were still a little unresponsive. Xia Yize stepped back and changed the subject, “Don’t be so close, you’re cross-eyed.”

    Qi Ge snorted, hugged him tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, “You didn’t come here on your own.”

    “I’m sleepwalking.” Xia Yize was about to separate his mouth, but his arms wrapped around Qi Ge’s neck.

    Qi Ge’s breathing gradually became calmer in Xia Yize’s ears. Xia Yize seemed to be lying in a comfortable cloud, and fell asleep again soon.

    When he woke up again, there was no one around him, and he had a pillow stuffed in his arms. He hugged the pillow and ran to the living room. Qi Ge had already gone out.

    The pillow in his arms was held head-down in his hands, and he had to go back to the bedroom alone. He looked at his phone. He sat upright. There was a message from Qi Ge on it, [Breakfast is in the pot.】

    There is another article below, [Retire the house and move here with the little black sesame balls. I will come back early tonight and pack things together.】

    Is this the efficiency of a university teacher? Xia Yize’s loneliness was swept away, and he rolled over on the bed holding a pillow.

    He turned over and called Qingqing. Xia Yize wrapped himself into a ball and rolled it twice before Qingqing finally caught it.

    Qingqing looked like she had just woken up, her eyes were still a little swollen, “What’s wrong, so early.”

    Xia Yize put the phone away and said, “Look at what’s different about me.”

    “You were twisting around on the bed, you have hemorrhoids.” Qingqing half-opened her eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep in the next second.

    “You only have hemorrhoids, but you’re not close.” Xia Yize smiled proudly.

    Qingqing was confused and yawned. Xia Yize pulled the phone closer and said, “You are not allowed to sleep. Just a reminder, this is not my bed.”

    Qingqing followed his words and asked, “Whose bed is that?”

    “Qi Ge’s.” Xia Yize pursed his lips, waiting for Qing Qing’s wonderful reaction.

    “Oh.” Qingqing really closed her eyes this time, “Then you should sleep a little longer.” Then she hung up the phone.

    Xia Yize looked at the black screen of his phone and almost suffered internal injuries. No one shared such a big happy event.

    Fortunately, Qingqing did not disappoint him. Ten seconds later, Qingqing called back.

    Xia Yize squinted at the phone. Before he could speak, Qingqing started screaming when he connected Qingqing. Xia Yize hurriedly pressed the volume button.

    Qingqing looked like she was about to crawl out from the side of the screen, “Are you crazy?”

    Xia Yize put a hand on his ear, “You’re crazy.”

    Qingqing clutched her chest and looked distressed, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have asked you to avenge me. It’s okay now. If you get involved, it’s really like jumping over one pit and entering another.”

    “Qi Ge is not a trap. I’m here to share happiness with you. Don’t be a spoiler.” Xia Yize mentioned Qi Ge and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

    Qingqing looked like she hated iron, “You’re sleeping on his bed now.”

    Xia Yize patted the bed proudly, “I’m moving tonight, and we’re going to live together.”

    Qingqing’s eyes darkened and she almost pouted, “Does he know why you approached him?”

    The corners of Xia Yize’s lips lowered and he shook his head, “He should be able to understand. I didn’t mean to lie to him, and I really like him now. You can be considered half of our matchmaker.”

    Xia Yize said he was optimistic, but there was something hanging in his heart. He had to quickly find a suitable opportunity to clarify such an embarrassing matter.

    Qi Ge took the initiative to say hello to his colleagues and classmates whom he didn’t know today.

    A few students were late, pushing and shoving outside the door and not daring to come in. Qi Ge opened the door for them and joked, “You will become a layman after taking my class.”

    The students below also laughed, having never seen their strict pharmacy teacher make a joke.

    Several students held up their mobile phones as if taking pictures of the blackboard, but they turned their faces towards Qi Ge with obvious smiles.

    Qi Ge didn’t mind, and even stood up a little straighter. After class, a bold student asked a few questions, and finally said, holding his cell phone: “Teacher, I think you are very handsome today, so I took a picture of you.”

    Qi Ge smiled and said, “Thank you.”

    Qi Ge looked at himself in the photo, standing in front of the podium, smiling slightly and his eyes shining. He felt that when he was twenty years old, he was not so high-spirited.

    Xia Yize didn’t have many things, and most of them were small black sesame balls. He threw away a lot of things when he moved. Thinking about it, he was already desperate and almost living on the street. But it was a blessing in disguise.

    Xia Yize opened the drawer and found some live broadcast equipment inside that he hadn’t taken out for a long time. Only then did he remember that he still had a live broadcast room. It was hard to explain these things when he brought them to Qi Ge’s house.

    He closed the drawer and waited until he could explain it clearly to Qi Ge. Besides, they were newlyweds now, so they had no time to broadcast live.

    The little black sesame ball felt that there were fewer and fewer things in his territory, and meowed around Xia Yize dissatisfied. He took out the wool ball that Xia Yize had packed in the box, and Xia Yize hugged it, “Qiu Bao, we are moving, and we will live with Teacher Qi. Qiu Bao must also keep clean. I will wipe your feet and comb your hair every day, otherwise Qi Ge, a germaphobe, will die of discomfort.”

    While he was hugging the little black sesame ball, the elevator door rang. Xia Yize put down the little black sesame ball. The little black sesame ball was finally free and screamed in protest.

    Xia Yize opened the door and saw Qi Ge as expected. Xia Yize smiled with his eyes crooked, “You came back so early today.”

    “Come back and help you clean up.” Qi Ge couldn’t help but frown as soon as he walked in. Things were scattered all over the floor, and several corners were protruding from the box.

    Xia Yize pointed to the ground confidently, “Just find another box to put them in.” Turning around, he saw Qi Ge pouring out the boxes next to him with a crash.

    Xia Yize saw Qi Ge take a deep breath, “Category things and throw away the useless ones.” After saying that, he threw Xia Yize’s slippers into the trash can.

    “I…” Xia Yize didn’t know what to say. As expected, his storage couldn’t get into Qi Ge’s eyes. He squatted like a mushroom and asked while packing, “Do you really want us to go over? The little black sesame balls can also shed their hair.”

    Qi Ge had already packed a box, “I have already placed an order for a new vacuum cleaner and air purifier.” Xia Yize’s eyes lit up and he looked up at Qi Ge. Qi Ge chuckled and said, “I have a lot of people, so I need to be tolerated by Xiao Xia.”

    “Easy to say, Teacher Qi.” Xia Yize raised his chin.

    After sorting it out according to Qi Ge’s ideas, it turned out to be much faster than kicking here and there.

    Xia Yize looked at his and Qi Ge’s clothes put in a cabinet, and ran his hands over them. He imagined that one day they would go out in a hurry and wear each other’s clothes by mistake. Just thinking about it made him feel intimate.

    There was a bang outside, interrupting Xia Yize’s thoughts. When he went out, he saw a broken glass on the side of the coffee table, and the little black sesame ball jumped onto the sofa and ran away.Qi Ge stood aside and took a deep breath, while Xia Yize hurried over to clean up the mess.

    He just squatted down and before his hands touched the fragments, Qi Ge said in a deep voice to the side: “Don’t move.”

    Xia Yize’s outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. Qi Ge said helplessly: “Go and see if the little black sesame ball is injured.”

    The little black sesame ball has started exploring a new territory. Xia Yize checked it and said, “It’s okay.”

    Qi Ge put away the glass fragments and stood up and said: “From now on, all the cups at home will be replaced by stainless steel.”

    Xia Yize knew that Qi Ge had endured a lot, so he held his arm and said, “You are such a good person.”

    Xia Yize put his ear against Qi Ge’s chest, making Qi Ge’s voice sound muffled, as if it was transmitted directly into his ears from the vibrating chest, “Love the house and the bird.”

    Xia Yize’s hand tightened slightly, and his heart trembled slightly.

    Qi Ge made a shopping list, and in the evening the two went to the community mall to purchase.

    Qi Ge pushed the shopping cart, and Xia Yize put a hand on it, and used his fingers to tease Qi Ge from time to time. After walking around half a circle, the shopping cart was full.

    Xia Yize held a bag of potato chips and had no place to stuff it. “Isn’t it too much?” Qi Ge organized a space for him and said, “I will buy you a snack cart in the future.”

    Xia Yize glanced around, pulled Qi Ge into the shelf, and gave him a quick kiss on the face.

    Suddenly, a row of things was spilled on the ground on the shelf next to it. There was a lot of movement. Xia Yize looked over and saw a man squatting on the ground to pick it up.

    Xia Yize just glanced at it, but couldn’t take his eyes back.He tightened his grip on the shopping cart, and Qi Ge also followed his eyes and looked at that person.

    Seeing that he was discovered by the two, the man also stood up. He had a strong build, yellow hair, a row of earrings on his ears, and wore a motorcycle suit with a helmet next to him. He looked like a wild boy racing to death.

    Xia Yize pushed the cart and strode forward without looking at the man. When he passed by, the man spoke first, “Long time no see.”

    Qi Ge could feel Xia Yize stiffen, and held his hand to make him relax, “Know?”

    “I don’t know him.” Xia Yize ignored the man and walked over.

    Qi Ge turned around and glanced at him coldly, and the man raised his chin to look at Qi Ge without any sign of weakness.

    Xia Yize was absent-minded after returning. He stood in the kitchen washing the newly bought cups. He had been washing one cup for ten minutes and Qi Ge walked next to him without him noticing.

    Qi Ge reached out and turned off the faucet, “It’s already very clean.”

    Xia Yize didn’t say anything, and he wasn’t in a hurry to ask. He just tore open a bag of potato chips for him and said, “Let’s take a rest.”
