    Chapter 22: Sleeping in the Same Bed

    Li Chongge spent half an hour re-communicating his itinerary with Secretary Liu, planning to take three days off.

    Secretary Liu was a little surprised because Li Chongge rarely made such sudden decisions, and it had been a long time since Li Chongge had mentioned taking a vacation.

    But she was an excellent secretary, and she didn’t show any doubt. She quickly went through Li Chongge’s itinerary for the next few days in her mind and came up with the most reasonable postponement plan.

    “I wish you a pleasant vacation.”

    A respectful and polite blessing. Normally, Li Chongge wouldn’t respond, but he said, “Thank you, it should be interesting with Qin Yuanging around.”

    Secretary Liu: “?”

    What does this have to do with Mr. Qin?

    Fortunately, Li Chongge had already hung up the phone, otherwise she really wouldn’t know how to respond.

    Secretary Liu sometimes felt troubled. She felt that her career as a secretary didn’t seem to be going so smoothly.

    Looking down, she saw Bai Xiaobai’s message pop up on her phone screen, and she was even more confused. Why could even Bai Xiaobai become a secretary?

    After dealing with Bai Xiaobai, her “Dao heart” was slightly shattered.

    Bai Xiaobai, using a cartoon avatar with a crooked mouth and eyes, said to her, “My boss is going on vacation for three days, and I plan to give myself three days off too.”

    Secretary Liu: “…”

    They were both secretaries, and she had to handle more things for her boss when he was away. But Bai Xiaobai could rest?

    It was really infuriating to compare people, and a donkey couldn’t be compared to a horse.

    She was the horse, and Bai Xiaobai was naturally the lazy donkey.

    Secretary Liu replied to Bai Xiaobai with a “smiling” expression, and then closed the conversation box expressionlessly.

    Because they were only going for three days, Qin Yuanging didn’t bring much. Similarly, Li Chongge didn’t have much either, so they shared a suitcase.

    Li Chongge suggested it.

    It was reasonable.

    Qin Yuanging couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

    Sun Qihao’s seaside villa was located on a highly private coastline. Apart from the villa area owners, no one else could approach it.

    The villa faced the sea, and you could enjoy the sea view without leaving the house.

    Qin Yuanging and Li Chongge arrived last, but as soon as they arrived, everyone stood up in unison.

    Because of Li Chongge.

    Qin Yuanging took a quick look. Indeed, as Sun Qihao said, most of the people who arrived today were familiar faces. Deng Weien, Zhang Zhaolin, Guan Yuchao, and others had been playing with Qin Yuanging since they were teenagers.

    But there was a pretty young boy that Qin Yuanging was sure he hadn’t seen before.

    Wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, he looked to be in his early twenties, clean and tidy, without any extra accessories, but he looked very refreshing.

    It just didn’t quite fit in with this kind of occasion.

    Seeing Qin Yuanging glance at him more than once, Sun Qihao walked to his side and whispered, “He was brought by Zhang Zhaolin. He’s a small star who just debuted, I think his name is Tang Jingxuan. Zhang Zhaolin is still fresh with him and insisted on bringing him along.”

    Qin Yuanging raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything.

    Sun Qihao secretly glanced at Li Chongge, who was on the phone, and asked, “Li Chongge isn’t homophobic, is he?”

    Coincidentally, Qin Yuanging also wanted to know.

    “It doesn’t matter, he won’t care about that.”

    Li Chongge never commented on other people’s affairs. Even if he didn’t agree, he would choose to respect them.

    Sun Qihao’s villa was very big, but when it was first designed, it wasn’t meant to accommodate many people, so there weren’t enough bedrooms. Therefore, the room allocation was two people per room.

    Li Chongge had a room to himself.

    Li Chongge refused. He didn’t like being special, and it was only right for Sun Qihao, the host, to have a room to himself.

    Moreover…

    Seeing that Li Chongge was adamant, Sun Qihao didn’t try to persuade him any further.

    Qin Yuanging stiffly picked up a coconut and took a heavy sip through the straw.

    This meant that he would be sleeping in the same bed as Li Chongge…

    “Is it sweet? Give me one.”

    Li Chongge sat down next to Qin Yuanging.

    The simply opened, unprocessed coconut was round and heavy, feeling heavy in his hand, but it looked fresh and natural, even more popular than the coconut juice that had already been carefully poured into a glass.

    Qin Yuanging had just taken the last one.

    Qin Yuanging only thought for a moment before neatly changing to a new straw and handing the entire coconut to Li Chongge, “Try it.”

    Li Chongge: “…”

    Li Chongge took it with one hand and took a shallow sip. It was light and natural, quite to his liking.

    “Mr. Qin, here, this one is for you. I just got it and haven’t drunk it yet.”

    Tang Jingxuan looked very good when he smiled, and his shallow dimples made him look even younger and more energetic.

    Qin Yuanging knew that he and Zhang Zhaolin weren’t in a proper relationship, but he didn’t look down on him because of it.

    Qin Yuanging was very gentle, “It’s okay, I’ll have someone open a few more soon. You drink first.”

    Sun Qihao directly hired a chef team. Whatever you wanted to eat or drink, you could just tell them.

    Tang Jingxuan bent his eyes and retreated with good sense.

    Qin Yuanging turned his head and realized that Li Chongge was looking at him.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Nothing.”

    Li Chongge returned the coconut in his hand to Qin Yuanging and looked away.

    “Want to go for a walk on the beach?”

    Qin Yuanging suggested.

    He felt that Li Chongge wasn’t very interested, so he wanted to take him out for a walk.

    Li Chongge turned his gaze back to Qin Yuanging’s slender eyes. Before he could answer, Deng Weien came back after touring Sun Qihao’s villa and plopped down on the other side of Qin Yuanging.

    “There’s a mahjong room next door. Want to play a few rounds of mahjong this afternoon? Mr. Li, you want to join?”

    “I’m not going. It’s rare to come out, I want to go to the beach. Li Chongge is coming with me too. You ask someone else.”

    Li Chongge also said, “Yeah, I’m going to the beach with Qin Yuanging this afternoon. You guys play.”

    If Li Chongge hadn’t come, Qin Yuanging would definitely be at the mahjong table. It had been over two years since he had played, and he was a little tempted.

    But the attraction of walking on the beach with Li Chongge was much greater than the mahjong table.

    “Why would you need a whole afternoon to go to the beach? The UV rays are so strong, aren’t you afraid of getting sunburned? Sun Qihao has arranged for some sea fishing tomorrow morning, you can play in the water then.”

    Sun Qihao passed by carrying a box of seafood, only hearing half of what they said.

    “Play in the water? There’s such a big swimming pool outside, go play there.”

    Qin Yuanging: “…”

    In fact, Li Chongge also felt that the sun outside was a bit strong, and it wasn’t suitable to go to the beach at this time, but Qin Yuanging wanted to go, and Li Chongge was willing to accompany him.

    However, based on Li Chongge’s understanding of Qin Yuanging, he probably wanted to show off his skills at the mahjong table even more.

    Qin Yuanging was playful.

    At the same time, he didn’t want Qin Yuanging to get sunburned.

    “How about we go to the beach in the evening? You play cards with them this afternoon?”

    Qin Yuanging didn’t care about himself, he was just worried that Li Chongge would be bored.

    “What about you?”

    Li Chongge leaned back on the sofa and answered him in a matter-of-fact tone, “Accompany you.”

    Qin Yuanging’s heart suddenly sped up.

    “Play cards.”

    Oh, accompany him to play cards. Qin Yuanging was ashamed of his self-indulgence for half a second.

    He felt it was necessary to sign Li Chongge up for a language improvement class. He was always saying ambiguous things to stimulate him. His heart might really not be able to take it one day.
