Chapter 34: Traces

When Qin Yuanging came out of the bathroom in the second bedroom, Li Chongge was smoking in the living room.

Although Qin Yuanging was only less than five centimeters shorter than Li Chongge, because Li Chongge was broader, his pajamas looked a bit big on Qin Yuanging. Even if Qin Yuanging buttoned the pajamas to the top, he would still reveal a lot of fair skin, not to mention that he didn’t button all the buttons properly.

The heat from the bathroom made the corners of Qin Yuanging’s eyes a little red, and his half-dry hair hung softly by his ears. Stripped of his elite attire of a suit and leather shoes during the day, Qin Yuanging now looked very “soft.”

Qin Yuanging’s personality wasn’t soft, and his fists weren’t soft, but Li Chongge could associate this word with Qin Yuanging.

Li Chongge took an even harsher drag of his cigarette than before.

“The bed in the second bedroom isn’t made.”

When Qin Yuanging went in to wash, he only saw the empty mattress.

“Yeah, I didn’t tell the cleaning lady in advance that a friend would be staying over.”

Li Chongge heavily stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, deliberately avoiding Qin Yuanging’s gaze and looking at the door frame behind him.

“Squeeze in with me for the night?”

Qin Yuanging nodded and unceremoniously turned to Li Chongge’s bedroom.

“Hurry up, I’m sleepy.”

Li Chongge followed Qin Yuanging into the master bedroom and saw him walking straight to the bed, sitting upright on the edge of the bed and giving orders.

So he obediently picked up the pajamas on the bed and went into the bathroom.

When he came out, Qin Yuanging was still sitting there, motionless.

“Come over and dry your hair.”

Li Chongge’s hair was still dripping, but he noticed that Qin Yuanging’s hair was still damp.

“I don’t want to move, I’m so tired.”

Qin Yuanging frowned slightly, and Li Chongge compromised.

“I’ll dry it for you.”

Only then did Qin Yuanging finally lift his precious butt and move little by little to sit on the sofa next to Li Chongge.

“Li Chongge, your partner in the future will definitely be very happy.”

Li Chongge lowered his eyes, gently inserted his fingers into Qin Yuanging’s hair, and rubbed it.

“So Qin Yuanging, as a friend, do you feel happy now?”

Qin Yuanging chuckled softly and said, “As a friend, I only feel lucky, not happy.”

But as a secret admirer, he was very happy. At one point, Qin Yuanging almost blurted out a confession.

Fortunately, he hadn’t been completely seduced by Li Chongge’s gentleness.

“By the way,” Li Chongge took the initiative to bring up, “Didn’t you say your mother was urging you to go on blind dates? How’s that going?”

“There’s one scheduled for the day after tomorrow.”

“You agreed?”

Qin Yuanging asked, “Didn’t you advise me to?”

Li Chongge: “…”

This had only happened last night, and Li Chongge couldn’t deny it or argue.

“When it comes to feelings, you should still follow your heart. If you really don’t want to…”

“I’m fine. My mother is doing it for my own good, I know.”

Qin Yuanging rubbed his hair, which was now completely dry, and slowly climbed onto the bed and lay down.

“I’m sleepy.”

Holding the hair dryer, Li Chongge silently retreated into the bathroom.

At exactly twelve o’clock in the morning, Li Chongge lay down beside Qin Yuanging.

The next moment, a cool hand reached into his palm. Instinctively, Li Chongge grabbed it, then quickly let go.

“What’s wrong?”

Li Chongge quickly suppressed some inappropriate thoughts.

“The air conditioner is too low, it’s cold.”

“Okay, then I’ll turn up the temperature.”

But Li Chongge didn’t think the temperature was low, so he began to suspect that Qin Yuanging had a fever again.

So Li Chongge simply turned on the light again. After adjusting the temperature, he went around to the side where Qin Yuanging was sleeping, raised his head, and felt his forehead.

Qin Yuanging opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Li Chongge directly with one hand pressed on his pillow and the other hand propped on the bed, leaning down directly.

Qin Yuanging: “!!!”

The heat from Li Chongge’s body, along with the pleasant fragrance of his shower gel, overwhelmingly enveloped Qin Yuanging. His eyes widened, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

It wasn’t until Li Chongge’s forehead touched his forehead that Qin Yuanging realized he just wanted to check his temperature.

But this posture was too intimate and ambiguous…

“Li Chongge, who taught you to take a temperature like this?”

Li Chongge got up casually, turned off the light, and lay back down.

“My mom. When I was little, she would use this to see if I had a fever.”

Qin Yuanging’s face turned completely red in the darkness. If Li Chongge were to check again now, he would definitely suspect that he had a fever again.

“What were you panicking about just now?”

Even though they couldn’t see each other, Qin Yuanging could hear the smile in his voice.

“No, it’s just that your movements were too sudden, and I was a little startled.”

Qin Yuanging tried to make his tone sound natural to hide his guilty conscience.

“Is that so?”

“Yes! I’m going to sleep.”

Qin Yuanging turned over, turned his back to Li Chongge, and covered his head with the thin blanket, trying to suffocate his wildly beating heart.

“Good night, Qin Yuanging.”

Li Chongge clenched his palm tightly, so Qin Yuanging wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

He was lying in his bed, wearing his pajamas, next to the person he had liked for so long. Even with Li Chongge’s strong willpower, there were times when he almost couldn’t restrain himself.

But, didn’t Qin Yuanging really notice?

At six o’clock in the morning, Jiang City was quiet and peaceful. Qin Yuanging drove freely on the wide road.

The horizon vaguely showed a faint light. He opened the car window to let the cool morning breeze dispel his sleepiness.

But even though it was early, he wasn’t the only car on the road. For example, the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon in front of him had been there since Qin Yuanging got on the ring road.

But just when Qin Yuanging thought it would continue to go the same way with him, it took a sharp turn on a small road, the tail of the car swinging out in a beautiful arc, kicking up dust.

The sharp car logo reflected a cold light, like a flash of inspiration that suddenly appeared in Qin Yuanging’s mind.

That night, when his car was trapped at the resort location, Li Chongge appeared like a divine soldier, saving him from the fire and water. Later, Li Chongge explained that he was passing by on a business trip, so he conveniently took Qin Yuanging back.

But how could he drive an off-road vehicle on a business trip?

In the bag in the back seat were Li Chongge’s pajamas.

The shirt Qin Yuanging was wearing also belonged to Li Chongge.

Qin Yuanging’s self-righteous probing seemed to have traces from the very beginning.

“Jiang Muyuan, do you think it’s possible that Li Chongge also likes me?”

Qin Yuanging unethically woke Jiang Muyuan, who had been working overtime until two o’clock, from her sleep at six in the morning, and asked Jiang Muyuan the same question he had asked Sun Qihao before.

But this time, he got an answer that, although full of resentment, was the complete opposite.

“It should be possible. I’ll come to your office during lunch break to find you, and we’ll have a good chat about this issue.”

“But Yuanyuan, if you call me at this time again, I’ll really block you!”
