    Chapter 54

    Xia Yize hugged Qi Ge tightly and did not answer Qi Ge’s question. He turned around and bit Qi Ge’s neck. Qi Ge frowned in pain and turned his head to let the puppy bite to vent his anger.

    Xia Yize rubbed it twice and held it for a long time before letting go. There was a row of neat tooth marks on Qi Ge’s neck, which was red. Xia Yize caressed it again, and then covered it with a kiss.

    Xia Yize’s suppressed emotions these days finally found an outlet. He nestled in Qi Ge’s arms and complained softly, “You have ignored me these past few days. I feel so uncomfortable. I am so tired from cleaning every day, but I still have to try my best to smile in front of you, trying to make you calm down.”

    Xia Yize withdrew from Qi Ge’s arms, looked at Qi Ge with wet eyes and said, “You just told me that you wanted to break up. Do you know that my heart has stopped? Don’t scare me like this in the future.” After saying this, Xia Yize’s voice was choked with sobs, making it even worse.

    Qi Ge’s whole heart was pulled up, and he pulled him into his arms, “No more.”

    “You asked me where I was going, but I didn’t pack anything. Of course I squatted in front of your house, waiting for you to change your mind. I can’t sleep well without you being by my side these days.”

    Qi Ge said, “Do you think I slept well these two days?”

    Xia Yize felt distressed and annoyed, “I’m sorry.”

    Qi Ge picked him up with his buttocks in his hands, turned around and went back to the bedroom, “I’ll sleep with you tonight.”

    Teacher Qi consumed all Xia Yize’s negative emotions in the past few days in one night. Xia Yize had no dreams all night and slept deeply. Mornings without alarm clocks are the happiest.

    When Xia Yize opened his eyes, there was nothing next to him. He was in a trance and sat up quickly, fearing that it was just a dream. Xia Yize rolled out of bed and smelled a scent as soon as he opened the door. Qi Ge was wearing an apron in the kitchen, the sound of porridge being cooked against the background of the morning light, and the sense of being at home made Xia Yize relax all of a sudden.

    Like every morning in the past, it was as if nothing had happened. When Xia Yize was quietly admiring the painting with a smile, the little black sesame ball jumped onto the stove. Xia Yize quickly came to his senses, but before he could stop him, Qi Ge casually fed it a shrimp.

    The little black sesame ball rubbed against Qi Ge, and even it was instigated to rebel.

    Xia Yize went over and hugged Qi Ge from behind. His waist muscles were tight and felt good, but he was a little unsatisfied through his clothes. Xia Yize couldn’t help but stretch his hands inward.

    Qi Ge didn’t stop him. He said, “I didn’t touch him enough last night.” But he silently tightened his abdomen.

    It wasn’t until Qi Ge served the food that Xia Yize took back his hands.

    It had been a while since Qi Ge had eaten breakfast. Xia Yize sat happily at the table. As soon as he picked up his chopsticks, Qi Ge held his hand down.

    Xia Yize’s big ignorant eyes looked at Qi Ge, “Is there any more food?”

    Qi Ge looked at the foodie and smiled helplessly, “Are you awake now?”

    Xia Yize nodded, stared at the breakfast, and swallowed.

    Qi Ge did not let him go, “Let’s examine it.”

    Xia Yize didn’t expect that there would be this stage. He lay on the table and held his waist, trying to get through by acting coquettishly, “It hurts.”

    Qi Ge leaned on the chair and looked at him. Xia Yize knew he couldn’t hide, so he sat down slowly: “I shouldn’t have lied to you.” He looked up and observed Qi Ge, “I shouldn’t have used this method to retaliate against the scumbag.”

    Qi Ge still seemed dissatisfied, so Xia Yize bit the bullet and said, “I shouldn’t hide anything from you.” After saying a few words, Xia Yize’s stomach began to growl, and he saw Qi Ge begging for mercy, “I really know I was wrong.”

    Qi Ge put his hands on the table as he did during meetings and stopped following him in circles, “I think things should have a beginning and an end. Since this scumbag’s revenge plan was made in front of fans, I should share the results and experience with everyone.”

    Xia Yize said embarrassedly: “It’s a bit embarrassing.”

    Qi Ge snorted: “Don’t feel ashamed when you make a plan. If someone imitates you, even a failed experiment has its value. Let fans and friends know that this is an unreliable plan.”

    Xia Yize lowered his head and looked like he was accepting the criticism. Qi Ge’s tone softened, “I have watched your previous live broadcast.”

    These words made Xia Yize’s head lower. Qi Ge raised his chin and said, “There is still something remarkable about it. If you like, you can do it as your career.”

    Xia Yize thought he heard wrongly, “Don’t you think I’m not doing my job properly?”

    Qi Ge looked at his confused eyes and smiled and said: “You have so many fans who like you, which means you are doing a good job. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. If you like it, you can keep doing it.” Qi Ge looked at him seriously and said, “I support you.”

    But Xia Yize pursed his lips, “No one has ever affirmed me since I was a child. I can’t do serious things well, and I’m said to be playful when I do things I like. I thought there was nothing I could do well.”

    “You have helped so many people solve their relationship problems, and your live broadcast style is difficult for others to replace.” Qi Ge rubbed the top of his hair.

    Xia Yize felt encouraged. If he had known that Qi Ge was so supportive of him, why would he have to work so hard to hide it? Even if he asked him to clarify that his plan failed, it didn’t matter. His eyes lit up, “Okay, I will go live after breakfast soon.”

    Xia Yize picked up the chopsticks, but Qi Ge pressed them down and said, “There is one more thing.”

    Xia Yize put down his chopsticks obediently and said on his face, I will listen to you.

    Qi Ge said slowly: “How long has it been since you last contacted your family?”

    When it came to home, Xia Yize slumped like a frustrated little ball, “It’s been about half a year.”

    “Your family ran away from home, they must be very worried about you.” Qi Ge paused and said, “Especially when you have such a person next to you.”

    Xia Yize knew he was in the wrong and muttered in a low voice: “They will scold me to death.”

    “Then do you plan to stay away from contact for the rest of your life?”

    Xia Yize was silent. He was just not ready. Qi Ge held his hand and encouraged: “Tell your family that you are safe. You have to face it.”

    Xia Yize shook Qi Ge’s hand back and said nothing, but the sweat on his palm revealed his nervousness.

    The price of this breakfast was not small, and Xia Yize started to linger after almost finishing it.

    But he didn’t hide away after all. Qi Ge waited for him to finish eating and supervised him to unpack the new live broadcast equipment, including microphone, fill light and sound card.

    Xia Yize adjusted it well. The equipment he used was more than a bit upgraded than before. He patted the microphone with excitement. The moment he entered the live broadcast room, Xia Yize unconsciously became energetic.

    Not long after Xia Yize went online, many fans came in.

    [Leader, long time no see.】

    [The leader hasn’t broadcast live for so long, so he won’t really fall in love.】

    [Master, I’m lovelorn again.】

    Xia Yize glanced at Qi Ge next to him guiltily, cleared his throat and said, “A lot has happened during this period, and I miss you all too.”

    “I see someone asked about the scumbag’s revenge plan.” Xia Yize paused and said, “I came up today just to report the follow-up to everyone.”

    The barrage became lively, [Did the scumbag surrender?】

    [It turns out that during this period, the leader was fighting with the scumbag.】

    Xia Yize couldn’t help but look in Qi Ge’s direction, his eyes wandering, “Actually, I made a mistake in this matter. The professor is not that scumbag.”

    【???】

    [You seduced me for a long time, but it was all in vain.】

    [Run quickly, if I were a professor, I would fight you tooth and nail.】

    “I have deeply reflected on this matter. It is not advisable to retaliate by luring a scumbag. In any case, my own safety comes first.”

    [Teacher, why are you on the education channel today? It’s not your style.】

    [Did the plan be suspended after it was discovered that it was an error?】

    [I feel that that cold professor is not worthy of the leader.】

    [If it weren’t for this own incident, the leader would look down on him.】

    Xia Yize subconsciously reached out to block the screen, for fear that Qi Ge, who was standing by, would see it, but Qi Ge’s naked eyesight was 5.0 and he didn’t say a word.

    Xia Yize felt Qi Ge take a deep breath, and he quickly explained: “Actually, the professor is very good. It’s all my fault. Not only is the professor good-looking, but he is also diligent and self-disciplined. I am truly lucky to know him.”

    Xia Yize held his forehead and looked at Qi Ge through his fingers, “I’m lucky in this life.”

    [Leader, why are you avoiding your eyes?】

    [Master, if you are threatened, just blink.】

    [Teacher, this is not what you said in the previous live broadcast room. You said that the professor is sanctimonious.】

    Xia Yize quickly stopped, “Don’t talk nonsense, I never said anything bad about the professor.”

    Fans seemed to collectively know a certain switch and began to deliberately tease him.

    [You said that the professor is very dishonest and does not understand the style.】

    [The leader said that this professor deserved it if he could not get love, and he put on various disguises.】

    [You also said that you feel sick when you see the professor.】

    Xia Yize covered the screen in panic, while Qi Ge stood aside, shaking a glass of water in his hand.

    Xia Yize looked at him with pitiful eyes and shook his head.

    Qi Ge took a step forward, held down the camera, put the water on the table with a clang, lowered his head and rubbed it hard on Xia Yize’s lips. Before Xia Yize could calm down, Qi Ge let go of the camera.

    The barrage went crazy.

    [What was the sound just now? Aren’t you the leader at home alone?】

    [Who is next to you? It’s so hard to guess.】

    [Have you just put on lipstick? How did you moisturize it?】

    [Oh my god, it’s not what I thought.】

    [It’s too intrusive to block the camera.】

    Xia Yize bit his lip, as if he was reminiscing. He glanced at Qi Ge and said boldly, “The professor is next to me.”

    [I really got myself involved, thinking I was a hunter, but actually I was the prey.】

    [I don’t believe it unless I see it.】

    [Let me see, otherwise I think the professor is not good enough.】

    [I also think the professor is not good.】

    Xia Yize laughed angrily, “You guys are just watching the fun and don’t think it’s a big deal.”

    Xia Yize looked back at Qi Ge embarrassedly, and Qi Ge actually smiled.

    Fans dragged Xia Yize and refused to let him go. They asked him to talk about his feelings after falling in love and asked him to live broadcast every day. They claimed that they were worried about his personal safety after being with the professor.

    After a live broadcast, the popularity was unprecedented.

    Xia Yize, who finally escaped, served Qi Ge tea and water and said: “Don’t be provoked by the fans, they are all joking.”

    “I know.” Qi Ge couldn’t help laughing when he saw Xia Yize’s cautious look, “Do you think my IQ is only two years old?”

    “Then will you live broadcast with me every day?” Xia Yize pursued the victory.

    “No.” Qi Ge was not fooled by the gentle atmosphere.

    Xia Yize said “Oh” and sat down again. Qi Ge smiled and leaned over and said, “But whatever you need, I can help you prepare it and be your sponsor.”

    “Father of the sponsor.” Xia Yize pursed his lips and smiled, making Qi Ge feel like he was not a serious sponsor.

    Xia Yize didn’t laugh for long before Qi Ge reminded him, “There is one more thing.”

    Xia Yize’s face quickly turned sad. He made more phone calls to his home than live broadcasts.

    He ran away from home out of anger, and then he wanted to go home but couldn’t bear to lose face. Now he is afraid, afraid that his father will break his legs. Xia Yize said coyly: “Can you give me a little buffer time? I need to do some mental construction.”

    Qi Ge looked at it and said seriously: “It’s okay to send a message. At least let your family know that you are safe.”

    Xia Yize nodded and reluctantly found the number that he clicked several times but failed to dial.

    Xia Yize still looked at Qi Ge hesitantly and made a final effort, but Qi Ge did not give him any other options.

    Xia Yize had no choice but to edit the text message. After writing it, he pressed the send button under Qi Ge’s nose. It was just a few words. When Xia Yize sent it out, he felt his heart beat faster, his fingers were numb, and his forehead was sweating.

    He felt that his heartbeat had just calmed down when the phone call came from the other side.

    He threw the phone away like a hot potato.

    Qi Ge handed him the phone, “If you have anything to say, please tell me.”

    Xia Yize felt his eyes were hot and he was about to cry, “If I don’t answer, they will scold me to death, and maybe they will send someone to take me back immediately. Do you want to separate from me?”

    The phone hung up and called again, and finally it went quiet after a few rounds.

    Xia Yize curled up on the sofa without even daring to look at his phone.

    Qi Ge poured him a glass of juice, “Answering the phone is not a bomb, just in case they have something important to tell you.”

    Xia Yize chose to pretend to be deaf, “Besides, you still have me by your side. Even if I scold you a few words, Teacher Qi’s arms will warm you.”

    Xia Yize looked at the phone, and Qi Ge continued: “If you run away from home one day, I will worry about you every day. Even if I know you are safe outside, I still want to hear your voice.”

    Xia Yize lowered his head. In fact, he wanted to go home every time he was wronged, but his behavior would only disappoint his family.

    Qi Ge gently stroked his back behind him, and the phone rang again. Xia Yize was still frightened and sat up straight. He turned to look at Qi Ge. Qi Ge hugged him and nodded to him. Xia Yize picked up the phone with trembling hands. Both sides were silent for a while. There was a buzzing sound on the other side, as if the phone was switched to another person, “Is that you, Xiaoze?”

    It was his mother’s voice. Xia Yize’s voice trembled every time he spoke, “Mom, are you okay?”

    As soon as Xia Yize opened his mouth, a deep male voice from the side came in, “You still have your mother in your heart.”

    Hearing his father’s voice, Xia Yize didn’t dare to express his anger. The phone was covered and he could hear it vaguely. His mother said, “You don’t have to call your son. If you don’t talk nicely, don’t disturb me.”

    My mother’s soft voice came: “How are you outside? Did you run into any trouble?” Her mother’s tone could not conceal her distress, “When will you come home? Where are you? Can you let me bring you back?”

    Xia Yize clenched his phone nervously. What he was most worried about was being caught. “I’m fine now. I’m not in any trouble.”

    Xia Yize shook Qi Ge’s hand and said boldly: “I am with my current boyfriend.”

    As soon as the word “boyfriend” came out, it directly set off the opposite. His father roared and said: “Listen, listen, those boyfriends of yours will never want to enter the Xia family’s door. If you are with them, don’t come back. Coming back will only make people angry and don’t want to think about what he likes in you.”

    Xia Yize was yelled at, but he did not forget to correct Qi Ge’s name, “It’s not what you think. He is very powerful. He is a university professor. You will definitely like him when you see him.”

    Before Xia Yize could finish speaking, the other party hung up directly.

    Xia Yize was so angry that his heart pounded. He didn’t have time to review it. He felt sorry for his boyfriend who was lying on the ground for no reason, “Why should I talk to you?”

    Qi Ge hugged him and said with a smile: “The first time I called, I couldn’t help but come out.”

    Xia Yize said aggrievedly: “I just want them to rest assured that I am not alone. My father has never met you, so he is so extreme.”

    Although the phone call ended on bad terms, Qi Ge could feel that Xia Yize valued his family, “What if your family just doesn’t agree.”

    “Then I will elope with you.” Xia Yize hugged Qi Ge’s arm.

    Qi Ge flicked on his forehead, “Can you have a good idea?” He didn’t want Xia Yize to make a dilemma, “I will accompany you home in a while.”

    Xia Yize was a little at a loss. This decision was too sudden. Qi Ge hugged him and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

    Xia Yize was still very uneasy, “I’m worried.”

    “You have to go home and face it.” Qi Ge looked at him with firm eyes.

    Xia Yize also nodded solemnly. Qi Ge was working hard for their future, and he shouldn’t hold back.
