    Chapter 51

    Xia Yize was so happy during this period that he almost forgot the harm this scumbag had brought to him. He didn’t expect that he would dare to come to his door. The person who once kept him awake in the middle of the night and hated him so much appeared just like this.

    Thinking of the dark history of the past, Xia Yize felt like he was a fool for liking him.

    Qi Ge washed the dishes, cut a plate of fruit and placed it in front of Xia Yize. He watched Xia Yize holding the fruit plate while eating and taking deep breaths, frowning slightly from time to time, like a little pufferfish about to explode at any moment. Qi Ge opened him a bottle of iced Coke to cool down his anger.

    It was rare that Qi Ge took the initiative to let Xia Yize drink Coke. It was still iced. Xia Yize drank half of the bottle and said, “I’ll buy a few more bottles tomorrow.”

    Seeing that he had no intention of confessing, Qi Ge didn’t press him, but he had a gut feeling that the person he saw today was very dangerous.

    Qi Ge took his half bottle of Coke and said, “I’ll buy it tomorrow. Don’t go out alone recently.”

    Xia Yize vaguely felt that Qi Ge seemed to know something, so he did not dare to refute and just nodded.

    One night Xia Yize was in a daze about everything he was doing. He even used shampoo as body wash when taking a shower.

    Even in a dream, Xia Yize could not live in peace.

    He dreamed that he was sitting on the back seat of that scumbag’s motorcycle and kept rushing forward. The wind blew on his face and he couldn’t keep his eyes open. It was getting colder and colder, like a razor blade cutting into his face. The road was getting rougher and bumpier. He was jolted so much that his internal organs were almost out of place. He kept yelling to stop and calling for help, but instead of slowing down, the motorcycle was getting faster and faster.

    Seeing the cliff in front of him, Xia Yize woke up with a shout, his hands and feet were numb.

    He opened his eyes suddenly and took a deep breath in the darkness to calm his frantic heartbeat. Qi Ge hugged him gently. Qi Ge didn’t seem to be awake. Xia Yize carefully turned over and hugged Qi Ge.

    He had thought countless times before about how to punish the scumbag, but now that he was in Qi Ge’s warm and generous embrace, nothing mattered. If this was all a prelude to meeting Qi Ge, then he would rather bear it.

    Qi Ge did not open his eyes. Xia Yize woke up with a cry. He was afraid that he would scare him again if he moved too much. Xia Yize took the initiative to hug him, making Qi Ge believe that no matter what happened, they could face it together. Xia Yize’s dependence and trust made Qi Ge feel at ease.

    In the morning, Qi Ge prepared breakfast and woke up Xia Yize before leaving.

    Qi Ge saw Xia Yize rubbing his eyes sleepily, not thinking clearly, and swallowed back what he wanted to say, “Remember to eat in the morning.” Xia Yize agreed in a daze.

    Qi Ge straightened the pillow for him, but couldn’t help but say: “If you have anything to do, tell me at any time, and I will go out with you when I come back in the evening.”

    Xia Yize looked like he was about to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Qi Ge finally let him go and went to work.

    What Qi Ge said didn’t enter Xia Yize’s mind at all. He slept until ten o’clock and had breakfast as early lunch.

    Originally, Xia Yize didn’t want to go out. He didn’t want to see that person again, but the water supply stopped in the afternoon and he couldn’t even flush, so Xia Yize had to go out.

    Xia Yize was well-dressed. If that person hadn’t been staying nearby, there would be no reason to meet him when he went out. Besides, if he left quickly and returned quickly, he wouldn’t be so unlucky.

    When Xia Yize arrived at the supermarket, he only had the last box of mineral water. He paid for it in the envious eyes of a group of people, and his mood became happy because of his luck.

    But when he went out and turned a corner, he saw a hooded man standing on the side of the road. Xia Yize threw the mineral water at his feet, and the man walked over slowly.

    “Xia Xia, I thought I would never see you again. I have been looking for you this time.” As he said this, he raised his hand to pull Xia Yize.

    Xia Yize withdrew his hand, “You didn’t expect me to have a place to live, right? You should search the underground passages in this city first.”

    “Xia Xia, I was also deceived. I thought the money would be returned to you in a few days, but who knew.” He sighed and said, “I have been afraid to see you because I was afraid you would be angry. I went back to find you as soon as I got the money, but you were no longer there.”

    Xia Yize gritted his teeth and grabbed his collar, “Then you pay me back now.”

    The man let Xia Yize drag him, “I will definitely pay it back to you. I’m here to give you money today.” As he said that, he took out his wallet and took out all the five hundred yuan in cash. He patted Xia Yize’s hand, “I can’t breathe, baby.”

    Xia Yize pushed him out and shook his hand, “Don’t hate me. I don’t want the money. I don’t want to see you again in the future.”

    The man caught up again and said, “Don’t you care about our relationship? We vowed to never leave each other. How could you leave me?”

    Xia Yize felt nauseous, thinking that she had vowed to be together with him, it was like a stain on his life.

    The man hugged Xia Yize regardless. Xia Yize picked up the mineral water at his feet and threw it at it. The man quickly dodged and Xia Yize raised it again. “I also swore that I would break your legs when I see you again.”

    At this time, Xia Yize’s phone rang. Suddenly, the man’s soles were greased, and he ran and shouted: “Xia Xia, I will not give up on you.”

    Xia Yize was so angry that he could hardly breathe. When he saw that the phone was from Qi Ge, he walked around twice to catch his breath before picking up the phone.

    Qi Ge witnessed everything in the car not far away and asked calmly: “What are you doing?”

    Xia Yize picked up the mineral water and said truthfully: “The water supply is out at home, so I went out to buy water.”

    Qi Ge warned him: “Pay attention to your own safety and don’t act impulsively.”

    Xia Yize heard that Qi Ge’s tone was not right. He looked around and found nothing unusual. He said guiltily: “I know, I’m going home now.” He said with a smile: “I bought the last box of mineral water today.”

    The recent danger signals made Qi Ge worried and anxious, but when he heard Xia Yize’s laughter, Qi Ge felt a little more comforted, “Go home and walk slowly.”

    After hanging up the phone, Qi Ge stepped on the accelerator and drove directly in the direction where the man left. He didn’t believe in any coincidence that he could find Xia Yize so accurately. Qi Ge suspected that this man had been staying nearby for a long time.

    Turning a corner, Qi Ge saw the man. He was wandering on the road, smoking as he walked.

    Qi Ge honked the horn behind him. He trembled and took two steps to the side. He turned around and pointed at Qi Ge. What he said didn’t sound like anything nice.

    Qi Ge pulled over and the man didn’t seem to expect that Qi Ge got out of the car. When he turned around and was about to leave, he saw clearly that it was Qi Ge who got off the car and stopped again. He threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it out with his foot.

    He looked like a real person to Xia Yize just now, but looked like a gangster to Qi Ge, “You are Xia Yize’s current partner.” He looked Qi Ge up and down and chuckled.

    “Not bad, you are?”

    “Me.” The man pointed at himself, “I was his previous partner.”

    Qi Ge took a deep breath. How could Xia Yize fall in love with this kind of thing? He must wash his eyes when he gets back. Qi Ge was really too lazy to say a word.

    The man continued without a wink: “Yes, when we were together, Xia Yize was quite rich, but he has no choice. Now that he has to find someone to support him, he has to compromise.”

    Qi Ge was not angry, he just thought it was ridiculous and did not want to waste time with him. “You are not allowed to come to him again in the future.”

    The man snorted disapprovingly: “Why?”

    Qi Ge’s patience was limited, “If I see you pestering him again, I won’t be polite.” Qi Ge looked at him and took a step closer with cold eyes.

    The man took a step back unconsciously, feeling embarrassed, and raised his neck and said, “Okay, I have conditions.”

    “Say.” Qi Ge looked at the depressed tree trunks on the side of the road and didn’t want to look at him.

    “Xia Yize and I are in love.”

    Qi Ge didn’t like hearing the first sentence and frowned at him.

    He quickly changed his mind and said, “Well, he is living a happy life, so I can rest assured. I will help you, but I am a little tight recently.”

    “How much.” Qi Ge couldn’t stand this man’s nonsense anymore.

    The man looked at Qi Ge and the car next to him again, and said tentatively: “Three hundred thousand.”

    “I’ll give you three hundred thousand, and you won’t harass my boyfriend anymore.”

    From Qi Ge’s tone, the man seemed to agree, and he didn’t bother to correct Qi Ge’s words. He even felt that he was short, “Three hundred and fifty thousand, I promise to disappear forever in Xia Yize’s world.”

    Qi Ge pressed the phone, and the conversation just now came out clearly, “It doesn’t cost a penny. If I see you again, I will take this recording and sue you for blackmail.”

    The man’s face turned red and he grabbed the phone. Qi Ge put the phone back into his pocket with a twist of his fingers, picked up the man’s collar and slammed it against the wall, “Don’t challenge my bottom line.”

    The man struggled a bit, but was pressed down by Qi Ge until he couldn’t breathe. He said intermittently: “Let go, I promise you.”

    Qi Ge let go, and the man held the wall and coughed for a long time, then stood up and smiled sinisterly, “You must be that professor.”

    Qi Ge narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

    “You think Xia Yize likes you.” He laughed, “He likes people like me, wild and unrestrained.” He lifted up his leather jacket, “People like you look boring.”

    Qi Ge would not be provoked by a few words.

    Seeing that Qi Ge didn’t respond, the man asked mysteriously: “Then do you know why he chose you?”

    He himself felt that Qi Ge’s eyes looked like a fool, which made people uncomfortable, so he said viciously: “To get back at you.”

    Qi Ge turned around to leave, but the man didn’t show off, “He has a live broadcast account called Anti-Scum Leader, Anti-Scum Leader.” He was afraid that Qi Ge didn’t hear clearly, so he deliberately said it twice, “You will know just by looking at it, you are the university teacher, you are the morning jog, and you are the cat owner.”

    Qi Ge’s eyes ranged from disdain to confusion, and finally he was so cold that he could release an arrow.

    The man said bitterly: “You are the clown, just wait and Xia Yize will come back to me.” After saying that, he twisted and got into the alley.

    Qi Ge couldn’t think of this man as talking nonsense. How could this man know about his relationship with Xia Yize?

    He had never known about Xia Yize’s live broadcast. Qi Ge returned to the car and searched for the name of the person. He found the leader of the contrast, the leader of the loser, and the leader of overturning.

    Qi Ge arranged and combined them for a while, and all kinds of strange contents came out. He flipped through them casually, and for a moment he felt ridiculous that he would take that person’s words seriously.

    Just when he was about to log out, the app pushed a video, and Qi Ge recognized Xia Yize at a glance. At that time, he had white hair and his shirt was lazily unbuttoned with two buttons. He smiled at the camera, with a bit of cunning and cuteness, and his name was the anti-scum leader.

    Qi Ge clicked in.

    He sat in the car for three hours until his phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down. There was still an image of Xia Yize sitting in the live broadcast room in his mind. He claimed to have a revenge plan for the scumbag, which included an encounter on a morning run, an ankle injury, cooking for his birthday, and visiting his grandma together. Every step seemed to be a coincidence and fell into place, but in fact it had a purpose.

    Xia Yize threw handfuls of bait and waited for him to take the bait. He even wondered for a few moments whether this person just looked like Xia Yize. The person on the phone was so strange. He was playing with emotions under the guise of revenge against a scumbag.

    It was already dark outside, Qi Ge didn’t turn on the lights in the car, and his whole world seemed to be getting dark.

    Since it is a trap, then he has already taken the bait. When will Xia Yize start closing the net and operating?

    Qi Ge opened the window and took a deep breath. The cold air outside seemed to penetrate into his lungs with ice.

    When problems arise, solving them neatly is his usual way of doing things. He doesn’t like procrastination and evasion.

    Qi Ge drove home. There was no more efficient way than to face it head-on.
