    Chapter 66

    “Then let’s not celebrate a birthday, let’s do something… something we should do on our first day together.” Ye Xing released him, showing no embarrassment as he spoke.

    Qi Guang gave him a disdainful look, “I really didn’t know before, you’re such a hooligan.”

    “What the hell?” Ye Xing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and slapped him on the head, “You’re the hooligan, I didn’t even think that way.”

    After his perfectly fine sentence was misinterpreted, Ye Xing suddenly felt a bit shy and didn’t dare to look directly at him. He hugged his clothes and went back to his room, sat on the bed for a while, then took a set of clean clothes and went into the bathroom.

    Qi Guang watched him pacing back and forth without saying anything.

    Leaving a guest in the living room while you go take a shower, is that proper hospitality?

    Oh, no, proper boyfriend hospitality.

    At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Ye Xing poked his head out, “Let’s order some takeout!”

    “I’ve already eaten,” Qi Guang said.

    “I haven’t,” Ye Xing knocked on the door with his knuckles to express his dissatisfaction, then turned and closed the door.

    Then came the sound of running water from the bathroom.

    Qi Guang stared at the bathroom door, falling into a brief contemplation—it seems this guy rushed all the way back from so far away without even having time to eat, and strangely he went straight to 1984 and knew I’d be there?

    Judging from Zhou Tian and Brother Xu’s reactions, they didn’t know he was coming. And Shuai Xiaoyun’s words seemed pretty passive too.

    So, was it Bai Shu, who hadn’t said anything all along, who told him?

    Damn it!

    The first person he contacted after getting his phone was actually someone else.

    Although Qi Guang knew that he wasn’t going to be jealous of Bai Shu, he couldn’t help but be curious about what those two were up to, and was it even something like stealing his man?

    So baffling…

    He opened the takeout app on his phone and scrolled for a few moments. The time was a bit awkward; normal restaurants were closed, and only a few that Qi Guang didn’t find appealing were still open. Even though Ye Xing might not be picky, he wouldn’t allow him to eat something he didn’t like while he was here.

    So, Qi Guang decided to cook himself. He stood up and went to the kitchen. It was empty, with nothing but instant noodles, not even rice.

    Then, with a bit of hope, he opened the refrigerator. There were some drinks and alcohol, but nothing that looked edible.

    How did this guy grow so tall? Did he eat air?

    He sighed and walked to the door.

    When he came back with the groceries, Ye Xing was sitting on the sofa, using a towel to dry his hair. Seeing how comfortable he was in his home, he couldn’t help but tease, “Oh, you even have a key.”

    “I grabbed it from the table,” Qi Guang put the key back in place.

    “Afraid I wouldn’t open the door for you?” Ye Xing put down the towel and walked over.

    “Afraid you’d take half an hour to shower,” Qi Guang said.

    “Where’s my takeout?” Ye Xing reached out his hand to him.

    “You expect me to eat takeout while I’m here?” Qi Guang smiled, “Who are you looking down on?”

    “Dude, it’s not that I’m looking down on you,” Ye Xing said with a tearful face, “It’s that my stomach can’t wait. Look at the time, I’ve only had a bottle of water since today.”

    “Okay, I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles that costs two hundred per person, it’ll be quick.” Qi Guang patted him on the shoulder and handed him a bag, “I bought some snacks, you can munch on those for now.”

    Qi Guang’s “quick” was not an exaggeration. Ye Xing felt like he had just turned on the TV and watched a few commercials, not having eaten even a few bites of the snacks, and the noodles were already ready.

    It looked a bit bland, just a few green leaves with a golden fried egg on top. But based on the principle that anything Qi Guang made was sure to be good, he didn’t comment on the noodles’ appearance and just picked it up to eat.

    Whether it was because he was starving or because Qi Guang was such a good cook, the simple noodles tasted exceptionally delicious.

    He couldn’t stop eating.

    “Slow down, no one’s gonna take it from you,” Qi Guang watched him.

    Ye Xing ignored him, finishing the noodles in one go, not even leaving a drop of soup, and even licking his lips.

    What the hell?

    It was okay when he wasn’t looking at him, but seeing that little action suddenly made him feel a bit awkward.

    Qi Guang looked away and handed him a tissue, “Use this to wipe.”

    “Mm,” Ye Xing took it and wiped his mouth, “Pretty good service.”

    Ye Xing cleaned the bowl and pot in the sink, washed his hands, and immediately jumped out, picking up the towel from the sofa while suggesting, “Let’s go out and have fun somewhere today!”

    “Where to?” Qi Guang glanced at the time, “I have to go help at 1984 in a little while.”

    “I never thought,” Ye Xing sighed, “that having a relationship would mean my partner would be too busy with work to go on a date!”

    “Then maybe…” Qi Guang stood up, took the towel from his hand and began to dry his hair, “Maybe you should consider finding someone who’s free all the time?”

    Ye Xing jabbed an elbow at his stomach, “Asking for a beating?”

    Qi Guang touched his elbow and laughed, “Tomorrow then!”

    “Die tomorrow?” Ye Xing said.

    “You…” Qi Guang kicked at his knee, “I’ll take Ye Xing to date tomorrow!”

    “Oh,” Ye Xing replied.

    He was even acting like a little kid as he spoke. His voice sounded a bit aggrieved.

    Qi Guang bent down to look at him, “It’s too hot at this time. Let’s get up early tomorrow, where do you want to go?”

    Actually, there wasn’t a place he particularly wanted to go, he just felt that the two of them being together so suddenly lacked a sense of ceremony. As for what exactly that sense of ceremony was, what kind of concrete form it needed, he couldn’t say.

    Was it too late to buy a bouquet of flowers and propose again?

    At least they should go on a date like normal couples.

    Even if Chen Town didn’t seem to have any good places for a date…

    “Do you have anything you particularly want to do?” Ye Xing asked and then added, “Anything you’ve ever thought of doing with someone you like?”

    “I’ve noticed you’re particularly thick-skinned,” Qi Guang stood straight and continued drying his hair, “You’re already claiming to be someone I like without any hesitation?”

    “Dude?” Ye Xing looked at him, an expression of disbelief on his face, “Is that the main point? With your ability to pick up the main point, how the hell did you become a top student?”

    “Even with my ability to pick out the main point, I’m still a top student. You should reflect on yourself, you little trash.” Qi Guang patted his head, almost dry now.

    He walked to the balcony, took down a clothes rack and hung the towel, and when he came back, he found Ye Xing staring at him.

    Oh, little trash is not convinced.

    Actually, skipping a shift once in a while isn’t a big problem…

    The hot weather wasn’t really an issue either…

    These weren’t excuses, just something he said casually.

    Qi Guang smiled, “Let’s go on a date now, no need to wait until tomorrow!”

    “Where are we going?” Ye Xing pretended to sound weak.

    “Anywhere, I don’t have anything special I want to do, and I’ve never liked anyone before, let alone thought about what I’d do with someone I liked.” Qi Guang rubbed his face, “You say where to go, and I’m happy to go there!”

    Ye Xing slapped his hand away, “I don’t want to go anywhere, I’ll keep you from work later.”

    “I can have Xiaoyun or Zhou Tian help,” Qi Guang raised his hand again and pinched his chin, “Do we leave now?”

    “No,” Ye Xing slapped his hand away again, “It’s too hot.”

    Understood, the kid was just looking for trouble!

    Qi Guang leaned in, looking at him up close.

    He thought Ye Xing would dodge, but he just stayed put, looking straight back at him.

    This made Qi Guang a little uneasy.

    How did Ye Xing lose his face skin after starting a relationship? Didn’t he used to jump up at every chance?

    Go ahead and jump!

    It’s awkward for me to just stand here if you don’t jump!

    Just when Ye Xing was starting to feel like he was going cross-eyed, Qi Guang suddenly tilted his head and quickly kissed him on his lips.

    He’d wanted to do that for a long time.

    Ye Xing’s stern face faltered for a moment, and then relaxed.

    But before he could even savor the taste, Qi Guang’s lips were already gone.

    “Let’s go,” he stood straight, turning his head away uncomfortably.

    “Is this dude not confident in his kissing skills?” Ye Xing laughed, “Do you want me to teach you?”

    Qi Guang kicked him, “Get lost!”

    After saying that, he felt like something was off. He leaned down, looking at Ye Xing, and squinted his eyes, “How the hell do you know so much? Are you experienced?”

    “Heaven and earth can testify! You’re the first person I’ve ever had!” Ye Xing raised his hand, bending his thumb and little finger, “But you didn’t deny it, so I’ll take it as you acknowledging my skills!”

    “Tsk, shameless!” Qi Guang shook his head, “You must have secretly learned a lot, right?”

    Learned my ass!

    These things were built on the basis of having fantasies about a person.

    Especially after switching back and forth between fantasizing and restraining myself countless times, a single breakout wouldn’t be as simple as a casual touch.

    “I suddenly don’t want to go out,” Ye Xing looked at him.

    Qi Guang leaned down to look at him, “What? Did you not have enough of rejecting me, now you’re gonna continue…”

    Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Xing’s hands were already around his neck, and the next second he kissed him.

    This familiar MO, just like the second time, and just as dominant as the first time.

    It’s so damn frustrating, three times!

    He hadn’t been ambushed as much in fights as he had been by Ye Xing with kisses…

    And each time he kept escalating…

    When he realized that Ye Xing was unbuttoning his shirt, Qi Guang quickly grabbed his hand.

    It wasn’t that he was feigning chastity; he was just a bit nervous about what might happen next, something he hadn’t done any research on and couldn’t guarantee he’d be good at.

    That was something a top student wouldn’t allow.

    Even though the warm touch between their lips and tongues had almost chased away his reason.

    Ye Xing didn’t focus on the buttons, after all, there were more ways to access clothing. He withdrew his hand and slipped it from Qi Guang’s waist… just as his fingertips touched Qi Guang’s abdomen, he felt Qi Guang tremble again, more significantly than before.

    Then Qi Guang reached out, pulled him, and Ye Xing fell down, landing in his arms, tightly embraced.

    Qi Guang’s rapid breathing was audible near his ear.

    “Ye Xing, I’m not ready yet.”
