FV: Chapter 23 Part 2

Lin Luoqing was disturbed by Tan Kai and his heart was always uneasy. He sat in the car obediently and carried Ji Yuxiao out of the car. Then he obediently pushed Ji Yuxiao back to their room.

He even took the initiative to ask Ji Yuxiao, “Do you need me to perform any scenes today?”

He blinked cutely when he finished speaking.

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Ji Yuxiao felt that he wanted to laugh again.

It couldn’t be helped. He always inexplicably felt relaxed and at ease around Lin Luoqing.

He picked up a book and chose a scene for Lin Luoqing. “This part. I wasn’t satisfied with this part when watching the movie.”

“Okay, male god. No problem, male god. Just lie down and watch.”

It is easier to fall asleep—of course, he didn’t say these words.

Ji Yuxiao looked at him thoughtfully. Then he grabbed this person’s chin and leaned closer. “Why are you so good?”

“I’ve always been good.” Lin Luoqing blinked in a cute manner.

Ji Yuxiao chuckled and shook his chin. Then he let go of his hand and went to unbutton his shirt. “Take a look. I will go take a shower and you can perform it for me later.”

“Do you need my help washing?” Lin Luoqing took the initiative.

Ji Yuxiao looked back at him. “At that time, you won’t be obedient again.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing quickly retracted his head and pretended to be a well-behaved little quail.

Ji Yuxiao laughed again. He took his pajamas in a happy mood and entered the bathroom.

Lin Luoqing read the book for a while. Then he saw that Ji Leyu hadn’t come out and left the room. He took the luck transfer bead he bought in the afternoon and entered Ji Leyu’s room.

Ji Leyu was already asleep. Lin Luoqing lightly placed the box on Ji Leyu’s desk, ready for him to wake up tomorrow morning and get the surprise.

He left the room and looked at Lin Fei’s room, which was tightly closed. There had been no light shining through the crack in the door when they had returned home. Lin Fei should be sleeping as well.

Lin Luoqing didn’t bother him and returned to his and Ji Yuxiao’s room.

It wasn’t until he returned to his room that Ji Leyu turned on his little night lamp and looked at the desk.

He hadn’t been sleeping soundly. Ji Yuxiao hadn’t returned so he couldn’t feel assured. He woke up the moment the door opened.

He got out of the bed and opened the box on the table. He found that there was a bead bracelet inside.

The luck transfer bead was cute. It was a small, bulging fish with a golden color. Ji Leyu was used to seeing this since he was a child so it wasn’t rare. Therefore, he just looked at it and closed the box.

It was placed here in the hope that he would see it tomorrow, Ji Leyu guessed. Tomorrow morning, he would have to show a surprised expression.

This was too simple for him. Ji Leyu smiled, threw the box into the drawer and crept out on tiptoe.

He was barefoot as he quietly walked to Ji Yuxiao’s door and stood against the wall, wanting to hear what Ji Yuxiao and Lin Luoqing had to say.

Adults always had too many things to hide from him. Ji Leyu wanted to know more so he stuck to the wall like a quiet cat.

Ji Yuxiao had already taken a shower and changed into his pajamas.

Lin Luoqing saw him coming out and prepared to go in and take a shower.

“Don’t wait for me next time. Just go into the next room to wash.” Ji Yuxiao reminded him.

“I also want to say that you don’t have to wait for me next time. Just wash with me.” Lin Luoqing made no secret of his thoughts.

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Every time, Ji Yuxiao wondered if this person really liked him or else he wouldn’t be so active!

“Would you like to?” Lin Luoqing approached him.

Ji Yuxiao was helpless. “Do you think I really don’t dare?”

“No.” Lin Luoqing shook his head.

Ji Yuxiao was about to say it was almost the same when he heard Lin Luoqing laugh. “I’m embarrassed.”

Ji Yuxiao, “……”

Ji Yuxiao was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped this person on the ass.

Lin Luoqing almost jumped three feet high. “What was that for?”

“Who told you not to be obedient?”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing puffed up his cheeks and snorted. He turned and walked toward the bathroom.

Ji Yuxiao had a headache while looking at him.

In the end, what was Lin Luoqing really thinking?

He was thinking about it when his phone rang.

Ji Yuxiao picked it up only to find that Qu Yingzhe had already sent him a WeChat message during the time when he was washing up.

[During the meal, I planned to go back and say that I had met Sister-in-law and Tan Kai at a bar before. He seemed to like Tan Kai and flattered this person. However, the few times I have seen them, there really was no intimate contact.]

[They shouldn’t be anything. I heard people at the bar say that Tan Kai didn’t seem interested in him and didn’t pay much attention to him.]

[Today, Tan Kai’s words were clearly to provoke the feelings between you. It can’t be ruled out that it is just nonsense.]

[Is Sister-in-law around? Should we call and speak?]

Ji Yuxiao thought about it and pushed the wheelchair to the balcony. Then he called Qu Yingzhe back.

“I see,” he said. “Thank you.”

“It’s fine. I couldn’t hide that I was really surprised to see him tonight. I never expected it would be like this between them.”

Ji Yuxiao smiled slightly. “I didn’t expect it either.”

“Does he really like you?” Qu Yingzhe was curious. “15 years?”

Ji Yuxiao nodded. “Of course. I am so good. Isn’t it normal to have a crush on me since childhood?”

Qu Yingzhe, “……”

Qu Yingzhe felt that he had been worrying for nothing!

“Then he really used Tan Kai as a stand-in?”

“Otherwise? Can he still like Tan Kai after seeing me? A blind person can’t do anything wrong.”

Qu Yingzhe, “……”

“Are you alive again now?”

“I’ve always been alive.”

Qu Yingzhe laughed while thinking that this person was a liar.

He remembered that after the car accident, he had watched this person with Wei Junhe and Zhuang Yue. Ji Yuxiao sat in a wheelchair at the time and was silent.

In his hand was an antique dagger. He held a cloth and slowly wiped the blade. The light of the blade reflected his cold eyes. He didn’t speak and the pressure around him was so heavy that they were almost breathless.

Qu Yingzhe suddenly didn’t want to ask why Ji Yuxiao wanted to be engaged to Lin Luoqing. He didn’t know the specific reason but Lin Luoqing’s appearance had obviously eased the heaviness around Ji Yuxiao’s body.

This person was alive again and seemed to have the ease of the past.

Therefore, the reason wasn’t important.

“Okay, I just wanted to tell you this to save you from any misunderstandings. Then accompany Sister-in-law. I’m hanging up.”

“Yes.” Ji Yuxiao hung up and leaned back in the wheelchair.

That person had really dedicated himself to Tan Kai. Lin Luoqing wouldn’t have really liked Tan Kai, right?

No no no, he wasn’t so blind, right?

Ji Yuxiao thought about it and carefully recalled the previous scene. He finally felt that Lin Luoqing obviously cared more about him than Tan Kai.

He didn’t know why Lin Luoqing was so attentive to Tan Kai in the first place, but that was a matter of the past. There was no need to hold onto it.

It was just that…

Ji Yuxiao gritted his teeth. How could Lin Luoqing be so courteous to Tan Kai?

Too blind!

Ji Yuxiao felt inwardly upset.

It was so upsetting!

Ji Yuxiao was in a bad mood and coldly pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed. Then once Lin Luoqing finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, he looked at this person and said arrogantly, “Hug me.”

Lin Luoqing, “???”

Lin Luoqing made an ‘oh’ sound. He didn’t know what was wrong with this person but he still bent down and hugged Ji Yuxiao cooperatively.

Ji Yuxiao, “???”

“Who told you to hug me? I meant to let you carry me to the bed!” (The word used for hug can also mean carry up)

Don’t always think about taking advantage of your male god!

Lin Luoqing laughed. “Didn’t you use to always go to bed by yourself?”

Ji Yuxiao looked at him. “You don’t want to?”

Lin Luoqing’s smile became more obvious in an instant.

“What are you smiling about?”

‘I’m smiling at your cuteness,’ Lin Luoqing thought in his heart. However, he didn’t dare say it. He just lowered his head and picked up Ji Yuxiao.

“Have you ever hugged Tan Kai before?” Ji Yuxiao asked in a calm tone without any concern.

He really, didn’t care, at all!

“Of course not.” Lin Luoqing didn’t hesitate. “Why would I hug him? I don’t like him.”

He put Ji Yuxiao on the bed, leaned closer and said affectionately. “My embrace is only for you.”

Ji Yuxiao didn’t believe his lies.

“Really? It isn’t that Tan Kai didn’t want to let you hug him?”

This fact was indeed true but Lin Luoqing resolutely refused to admit it!

Therefore, he cleverly changed the topic. “Are you asking me this because you are jealous?”

Ji Yuxiao, “???!!!”

Ji Yuxiao felt that this person was thinking too much!

“I’m jealous? What a joke. Is a sly bastard like him worthy of my jealousy? I just want to tell you that if you choose a stand-in next time, choose a similar one and don’t pick someone ugly as a stand-in. Isn’t that an insult to me?”

Lin Luoqing was very confused. “Next time?”

Ji Yuxiao, ‘…You want to have a next time!’

Lin Luoqing blinked obediently. “Didn’t I already get my white moon? Why should I choose a stand-in? I don’t want it.”

Ji Yuxiao, ‘…It was not bad.’

“So don’t worry about it.” Lin Luoqing smiled at him. “I don’t even remember what he looks like now. I would’ve forgotten there was such a thing if he hadn’t appeared suddenly.”

“What about my stand-in?”

“It is his honor to be a stand-in. I advised him to accept it and not to confuse the main party and the  secondary party.”

Ji Yuxiao was amused by these shameless remarks. He raised his hand to squeeze Lin Luoqing’s mouth. He thought that this person was a really talkative, witty and eloquent little liar.

Lin Luoqing was caught off guard when he was squeezed and looked confused. He pouted like a little duckling.

Ji Yuxiao was in a good mood and shook him.

Lin Luoqing, “???”

Ji Yuxiao had teased the person enough. He was satisfied and let go.

“Okay, let’s start the show.” Then he pulled down the quilt and lay down.

Lin Luoqing, ‘…Are you really lying down? You should be polite!’

However, he had said it himself. He could only walk directly in front of Ji Yuxiao and started his show.

He acted in a serious and devoted manner. He had just reached the halfway point when his eyes inadvertently fell on Ji Yuxiao. This caused Lin Luoqing to come out of the act in an instant.

Sure enough, his male god fell asleep again.

Lin Luoqing couldn’t understand why Ji Yuxiao was so intolerant to his acting skills. How could Ji Yuxiao sleep as soon as he saw it? It was better than sleeping medicine.

Lin Luoqing walked angrily over to Ji Yuxiao, picked up a post-it note from the bedside table and wrote again: Liar.

Every day he said he was going to watch Lin Luoqing act and every day he slept. Big liar!

He had just stuck it when he felt a bit guilty. After all, he just had that matter with Tan Kai revealed.

Lin Luoqing hesitated slightly. He decided to be down-to-earth and not too proud. Therefore, he put away the post-it-note in his hand and wrote a new one: My male god is really handsome.

Lin Luoqing thought there were no problems with this. He tore it off and gently stuck it to Ji Yuxiao’s forehead.

Then he went around to the end of the bed, walked to the side where he would sleep, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Ji Leyu saw the light from the crack in the door disappear and thought they should’ve fallen asleep.

His worried heart was finally released and his tense body relaxed.

He was just about to turn around and go back when he heard a calm and cold voice. “What are you doing here?”

Ji Leyu was startled and looked back in horror. He saw that Lin Fei had appeared behind him at some point and was looking at him quietly as if he had insight into everything.

He couldn’t help tensing up. He quickly thought of an excuse but his eyes were filled with innocence.
