    Chapter 4 Dinner in the same room with a top handsome guy

    Qi Jiejie touched his chest and felt that his heartbeat was abnormally fast.

    He is gay, and if he is in the same room with a top-notch handsome guy, he will indeed have emotional changes.

    He remembered the state in which Qu Mingluo spoke just now. That cold man didn’t mind letting him see the childish bandage on his face.

    Qi Jiejie laughed and put the phone back into his pocket.

    On the way to the work station, Qi Jiejue’s steps were so brisk that he felt a little wandering.

    In the evening, Qi Jiejue dragged his suitcase to Seaview Bay.

    This time he didn’t come by himself, but Qu Mingluo’s driver brought it to him.

    Xi Xingyu poked his head out of the second-floor window: “Brother Xiaoqi, you are going to live with me!”

    “Yes.” Qi Jiezuo answered him with a smile.

    “Great!” Xi Xingyu’s voice suddenly rose in pitch, and then disappeared from the window, with footsteps thumping down, “Then my brother is so awesome.”

    “Why can’t it be me?”

    “How about brother Xiaoqi!” Xi Xingyu said, “I’m so happy.”

    Qi Jiejie dragged the box into the entrance hall, and Qu Mingluo was walking down the stairs. He changed into a dark gray sweater, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his cold white wrists.

    “So little luggage?” he asked.

    “Just a few clothes.” Qi Jiejue said, “When Xiaoxing’s parents come back, I will move away.”

    “There’s no need to rush.” Qu Mingluo said, “They won’t drive you away.”

    Qi Jiejie was a little embarrassed. He didn’t know how to answer such words, but to put it bluntly, living here would always be more comfortable than the second bedroom he rented alone.

    “Go upstairs.” Qu Mingluo told him.

    Qi Jiexue dragged her suitcase and followed Qu Mingluo to the elevator.

    “You will stay in the guest room on the second floor.” Qu Mingluo told him, “Next door to Xiaoxing.”

    “Okay.” Qi Jiejue agreed readily. He didn’t have any objections at first, “Thank you, Mr. Qu.”

    Qu Mingluo paused: “Not in the company.”

    Qi Jiexue was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: “Thank you, Mr. Qu?”

    Qu Mingluo turned his face sideways and his eyes stopped on his face for a second. It was unclear whether his eyes were satisfied or helpless.

    He said nothing and continued walking forward.

    The guest room is larger than I expected.

    There is a two-meter bed, a desk, a bookcase and a wardrobe next to it, and the floor-to-ceiling windows can see the outside scenery.

    “I’m missing something.” Qu Mingluo stood at the door and didn’t come in. “Just tell Auntie.”

    “Thank you.”

    Qi Jiejie pushed the suitcase in and turned around to find Qu Mingluo still standing at the door.

    The light from the corridor shone from behind him, plating a layer of edges on the dark gray sweater, and the cartoon gauze on his forehead was looming.

    “Qu…” Qi Jie was stuck for a moment, “Do you have anything else?”

    “Xiao Xing wants to have dinner with you.”

    “I’ll pack up and get down right away.”

    “Okay.” Qu Mingluo said, “We’ll wait for you downstairs.”

    Qu Mingluo turned around to leave, then stopped: “You don’t need to be addressed.”

    Qi Jiejie stood there and watched his back disappear at the top of the stairs.

    He closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed. The mattress was much softer than the second bedroom he rented. When he sank in, he suddenly felt a little unreal.

    The sea outside the window is dark blue, and the lights of ships are moving in the distance. The location of the villa area is indeed worthy of its name.

    Qi Jiejue looked at it for a while, then opened the suitcase and hung the clothes in the closet.

    He had very few clothes, only taking up a corner of the closet, leaving a large space empty, as if to remind him that this was only temporary.

    There are new toiletries in the bathroom, and the towels are neatly folded. It is probably because he is coming over today, so he specially cleaned them.

    Qi Jiejie washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. The broken hair on his forehead was still wet, making his face even whiter.

    He is gay and it would be awkward to be in the same room with a top handsome guy.

    Fortunately, Qu Mingluo didn’t come in.

    Qi Jiejie shook his head and dried his hair before going downstairs.

    In the restaurant, Xi Xingyu was sitting at the table, with a set of his own tableware in front of him and a place reserved for Qi Jieke next to him.

    Qu Mingluo was sitting opposite, looking at his phone, and raised his head when he heard footsteps.

    “Teacher Xiaoqi, sit next to me!” Xi Xingyu waved.

    Qi Jiejie walked over and found home-cooked food on the table.

    Shrimp and eggs, tomato scrambled eggs, seaweed and egg drop soup.

    “Auntie made it?” Qi Jiejie asked Xi Xingyu.

    “Brother did it!” Xi Xingyu said, “The hens have to cover their butts when they see him.”

    Qi Jiexue looked at Qu Mingluo, who was looking down at his phone, while Xi Xingyu and Qi Jiexue both laughed.

    “Does your brother know how to cook?” Qi Jiexue asked Xi Xingyu and answered Qu Mingluo.

    “Xiao Xing wants to eat.”

    “I know Teacher Xiaoqi is not satisfied, and Auntie is also cooking.” Xi Xingyu said, “Let Auntie bring it over now.”

    “I’m not dissatisfied.” Qi Jiejie said, “It’s just a surprise.”

    Hearing what he said, Xi Xingyu quickly asked: “Brother Xiaoqi, when you saw my brother, did you feel amazing?”

    “Yes.” Qi Jiejie said with a smile, “Handsome guy!”

    Qu Mingluo coughed: “It’s time to eat.”

    “Brother is just embarrassed. You don’t have to worry about him.” Xi Xingyu said, “I don’t know why I’m shy. Usually he likes it when I praise him.”

    “Maybe it’s because I’m also a handsome guy.” Qi Jiejie deliberately joked with him.

    “That’s true!” Xi Xingyu said, “Brother Xiaoqi is really handsome!”

    “Thank you, Xiaoxing.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Xingyu said something that neither of them knew how to answer.

    “If brother and brother Xiaoqi are together, will the baby born be particularly beautiful?”

    “Xiaoxing, two men can’t have children.” Qi Jiejue said awkwardly.

    “Why?” Xi Xingyu said, “But brother and brother can be together, won’t they have children?”

    “There is a gay man at home, Xiaoxing has seen him before.” Qu Mingluo explained to Qi Jiejue, “He doesn’t quite understand.”

    “No.” Qu Mingluo said, “Xiaoxing, it’s time to eat.”

    “Okay.”

    For a moment, the air was a little solid, but soon, Xi Xingyu asked: “So you really can’t give me a beautiful nephew?”

    Qi Jiejie choked on a mouthful of soup, lowered his head and coughed violently.

    Qu Mingluo put down his phone, his eyes stayed on his back for a second, then turned to Xi Xingyu: “Eat, don’t talk.”

    “But I really want to…”

    “You can’t even think about it,” Qu Mingluo said, his voice not strong, but with an undeniable sense of oppression.

    Xi Xingyu pursed his lips and lowered his head to eat, but his eyes still turned between the two of them.

    The tips of Qi Jie’s ears were as red as if they were bleeding. He didn’t dare to look at Qu Mingluo and could only stare at the food in the bowl, as if it was some unparalleled delicacy.

    “Brother Xiaoqi.” Xi Xingyu still didn’t give up and muttered in a low voice, “Then can you adopt a beautiful child?”

    “Xi Xingyu!” Qu Mingluo called him by his first and last name, with a hint of warning in his voice.

    Xi Xingyu immediately buried his head in the bowl, just like this, Qu Mingluo couldn’t see him anymore.

    The restaurant became quiet except for the soft sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.

    Qi Jiejue secretly raised his eyes and found Qu Mingluo looking at him with bottomless eyes. Their eyes collided and then looked away at the same time.

    “Xiao Xing.” Qi Jiejue tried to break the embarrassment, “These shrimps are quite delicious.”

    “Brother made this!” Xi Xingyu immediately raised his head, as if he had found a new topic, “Brother Xiaoqi, my brother’s cooking is delicious. If you want to eat it, I will ask him to cook it for us next time.”

    “Xiao Xing.” Qu Mingluo said, “You can’t speak after eating.”

    “But brother, you also spoke just now, and you said a lot.”

    “I am an adult.”

    “Can adults talk while eating?”

    “Yes!”

    Qi Jiezuo laughed and said subconsciously: “Tyrant.”

    “That’s right!” Xi Xingyu said, “He is a tyrant, and Brother Xiaoqi is the good brother.”

    Qu Mingluo raised his eyes, his gaze resting on Qi Jiejue’s face for a second.

    The look in his eyes was neither cold nor hot, but it made Qi Jiejue nervous. It felt like he was being stared at by some large animal, but the other party lazily made no attempt to pounce on him.

    “Eat your food.” Qu Mingluo said.

    Qi Jiejie lowered his head, and Xi Xingyu also lowered his head.

    After eating, Xi Xingyu ran to the living room to build blocks, leaving Qi Jiejie and Qu Mingluo sitting face to face.

    The aunt came over to collect the bowls, Qu Mingluo stood up, and Qi Jiejue also stood up. The two of them turned sideways in the narrow aisle at the same time, and when they passed each other, a little static electricity was generated.

    Qi Jiexue said awkwardly: “Sorry, mine is polyester fiber.”

    Qu Mingluo paused and looked back at him.

    Qi Jiejie was looking down at his shoulder. There was a piece of dark gray wool stuck there, which was particularly conspicuous on his polyester shirt.

    “Go to my place and get a new one.” Qu Mingluo said, “We’re not much different in stature.”

    “Really?” Qi Jiejie said, “I still want a salary more.”

    Qu Mingluo said: “I don’t need to pay my debt with clothes.”

    Qi Jiexue felt even more embarrassed, and he didn’t know why. Looking at Qu Mingluo, he always felt that he must have some sense of humor, but every time he really said this to him, he still felt afraid.

    “I’ll pay for your shirt.” Qu Mingluo said in a calm voice, “Choose a new one, but I don’t live here often. If you don’t like it, you can follow me to my place to pick it out.”

    Qi Jie was stunned for a moment and looked down at his shirt. There was indeed wool on his shoulders, but even if there was really a problem, there must be something wrong with Qu Mingluo’s sweater!

    His shirt is only 15 yuan!

    He raised his head and wanted to refuse, but Qu Mingluo had already turned around and walked upstairs.

    “Follow me.”

    Qi Jiejie stood there and hesitated for two seconds, then followed.

    Qu Mingluo’s back looked very slender under the dim yellow wall lamp, and his dark gray sweater undulated slightly with his steps.

    The third floor is quieter than the second floor.

    There was a door at the end of the corridor. Qu Mingluo pushed the door open and went in, leaving a crack open.

    Qi Jiejue stopped at the door and saw a whole side of floor-to-ceiling windows through the crack in the door. This was obviously not his bedroom, but a cloakroom.

    “Come in.”

    Qi Jiejie pushed the door open and went in. Qu Mingluo was standing in front of the closet and rummaging around. He pulled out a few sweaters and shirts.

    Then he would continue to look.

    Qi Jiejie didn’t know what he should do, so he just stood aside and watched him.

    “You can see if there’s anything you like first.” Qu Mingluo said, “They’re all just delivered. Just take whatever you like.”

    When Qi Jiejie heard what he said, he could realize that these were definitely sent directly from various brands. Any piece of clothing could probably be worth two months of his salary.

    He really didn’t dare to ask for it.

    “Mr. Qu, why don’t we just forget it?” Qi Jiejie asked cautiously.
