Chapter 17 – The one wearing a bracelet is my, Qi Yun’s person.

 

It turns out that Qi Yun was still the same Qi Yun. The servant who came in for cleaning moved the chair a bit harshly. The sound made Qi Yun open his eyes and coldly told them to get out. The servant crawled out with the mop. If it was still the original person who could sit up, if he recovered, then will the person that has offended him still have anything good left in their life?

 

Xing Zhongwan held his head, it was all an illusion. What little hedgehog with its thorns removed? He was simply a sleeping tiger, and with a roar, it can scare people away.

 

Xing Zhongwan called and got through to the number that Qi Yun gave him. The other person quickly replied and agreed on a meeting time. There were no extra words exchanged.

 

At the same time, Xing Zhongwan received a text message from Cheng Zhengzhe that it has been done, and someone will come over with Xue Qing.

 

Xing Zhongwan covered his forehead, why would Xue Qing come over to make trouble? He didn’t need to think to know that this dominatrix was coming here to watch a comedy! Xing Zhongwan burst into flames and took out the card in his pocket. You asked me to use this, Qi Yun, and I’ll have it maxed out in minutes.

 

Angry, he drove out in a hurry and went out for a long time not knowing how to use it. In the end. He went to the bank. Qi Yun, you were so bold. I want to see how much money there is. Xing Zhongwan went to the bank and was invited into the VIP lounge as soon as he took out the card. The receptionist did not have low-level aesthetics and Xing Zhongwan blew a whistle. I really can’t underestimate you, Qi Yun. He threw the card over, “How much is in it?”

 

The reception manager took it cautiously, “Wait a minute.” After a while, the reception manager came out from the inside, “Excuse me, sir, I don’t have the clearance. Please wait a moment.”

 

With a lollipop in his mouth, Xing Zhongwan raised his hand and glanced at the watch. Five minutes later, a man in a straight suit walked up hurriedly, “How would you like to be addressed sir?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said lightly, “Xing. “

 

The man was taken aback. He then invited Xing Zhongwan to go upstairs politely. Xing Zhongwan threw the stick in his hand into the ashtray nearby, “No need, return the card to me and I will go.” After leaving, the man hurriedly stopped and laughed, “You have misunderstood.” He then reported the amount. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but laugh. Qi Yun, is this fvcking pocket money? You aren’t giving me all your old account books, are you? But thinking about the stack of cards in the safe, Xing Zhongwan thought, if he was a woman, would this be considered as being provided for?

 

Taking the card in the man’s hand, Xing Zhongwan left without looking back. The man lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. His calm composure was gone and his face was full of disbelief. The manager on one side asked carefully, “Deputy, what is this person’s background?  That card…”

 

“You shut up! You better keep your lips tightly sealed about today’s affairs!” 

 

The man looked at the car taking off at the entrance at full speed. He couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows. Was this supposed to be the young madam in the future? He didn’t see it wrong? It was a man!?

 

Xing Zhongwan sat at the table and ate with many pauses in between. His eyes were still not at ease, watching Qi Yun slowly move the food with his chopsticks, though it was much better than yesterday.

 

“Did you go check up that bank card?” Qi Yun suddenly talked about the card and Xing Zhongwan almost choked on the food in his mouth.

 

“Did you grow your eyes on my body?” He felt like something was wrong after he said it.

 

“Even if they did grow on you, I still can’t see. I think, following your attitude, you will definitely go to the bank.” Qi Yun didn’t care at all, he put the food in his mouth gracefully.

 

His voice was much better than before. It was not so hoarse and was gradually recovering. His original voice was not that crisp and a little baritone.

 

“Why did you give me so much money? Aren’t you afraid that I will run away with it?”

 

Xing Zhongwan poked the vegetables in front of him. The feeling of being stuffed with a lot of money without any reason was really amazing.

 

Qi Yun put down his chopsticks and turned his head to Xing Zhongwan, “The money is not mine. My grandma left it for her future grandson and daughter-in-law.”

 

Ptui- Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but spit out the rice in his mouth. The corners of Qi Yun’s eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

 

“It couldn’t possibly be that this little bit of money scared you? When you officially marry me, you can take over the rest of the inheritance left by my grandma.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a serviette on one side and wiped his face. He really wanted to fvcking cry without tears. Do you think Lao Tzu has no money? I was shocked about the grandson and daughter-in-law part. Dear god, when will this come to an end?

 

Qi Yun, this can’t go on. I have to find a way to let you know that I am a man, and when you notice this yourself, it will have nothing to do with me.

 

Then…

 

Xing Zhongwan deliberately rubbed his chest against his back when supporting Qi Yun to the bathroom.

 

Qi Yun: Did the Xing family treat you badly when you were a kid? Your upbringing doesn’t seem to be very good, but I don’t mind.

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Xing Zhongwan read the news to Qi Yun, using his own original voice, even deliberately deepening it a little bit.

 

Qi Yun: Is your throat uncomfortable today? Let the doctor come over and have a look, your voice as a girl is already pretty deep, don’t delay any longer…

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Xing Zhongwan went to see the gym and when he came back, he asked Qi Yun to touch his muscles on his arms.

 

Qi Yun: Physical exercise is a good thing, but girls don’t need to train their muscles too much. It’s cuter if they are soft.

 

Xing Zhongwan was about to vomit blood…

 

After the shower, Xing Zhongwan stood naked in front of the mirror and looked at himself. Where did Lao Tzu resemble a woman? Did I have to show my bird in front of Qi Yun to prove that I am a man?

 

He felt really depressed, and Xing Zhongwan threw the towel in his hand towards the sink annoyedly, accidentally bumping the shower gel above. Several bottles fell down with a loud sound.

 

After a while, Qi Yun’s voice came from outside. “Wanwan, what’s wrong?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was annoyed. Suddenly there was a muffled noise. Xing Zhongwan hurriedly opened the door and rushed out. Half of Qi Yun’s body fell out of bed. Xing Zhongwan quickly helped him up, “Just don’t give me any more trouble, will you?”

 

When he lowered his head, he found that Qi Yun’s neck was red again as his arm was around his shoulder. Xing Zhongwan realized that he was not wearing any clothes.

 

“Although I can’t see it, it’s not good for you as a girl to be seen without clothes.”

 

The hand on the shoulder slowly retracted and Qi Yun turned his head awkwardly.

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

He doesn’t want to live this kind of life anymore…

 

At night, Xing Zhongwan tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep. Things went in a very strange direction and he couldn’t stop the car. Qi Yun believed that he was a woman, and he didn’t know how his brain assumed that. Was there a woman’s voice like his’? Was his body too stiff? How could Qi Yun’s mind not process it?

 

Actually, Qi Yun was not to blame. Everyone in the house called him Miss Xing.

 

Moreover, the Xing family wanted to reap some benefit from Qi Yun and would never send a man over. A daughter from the Xing family would be the best choice.

 

There was nothing wrong with Qi Yun’s assumption. The fault lies in the group of people in this house who kept speaking nonsense with their eyes open, and Xing Zhengping’s twisted ideas.

 

“Can’t sleep?” Qi Yun’s voice suddenly sounded. Xing Zhongwan replied with an ‘en’.

 

“You speak with a southern accent. Did you grow up in the south?”

 

Xing Zhongwan readjusted his head on the pillow. “My mother is from the south, and so is my grandfather. I didn’t tell you before but I grew up with him and he liked to teach me the southern dialect. I don’t like the way your people here speak in a serious tone.”

 

Qi Yun replied. “Very good, it sounds soft, like the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.”

 

“Have you ever been there?” Some curiosity was sparked up in Xing Zhongwan.

 

“When I was young, I lived with grandma in Jiangnan for a while. It was a wonderful period of time. Grandma took me to the theater. Although I didn’t understand it, I liked the melodies.”

 

Qi Yun’s voice was less hostile at night and Xing Zhongwan nodded, “I haven’t listened to it for a long time but I can still sing it. I will sing for you. “

 

Xing Zhongwan sat up and hummed a bit, “I haven’t sung for a long time. You’re not allowed to laugh if I don’t sing it well. “

 

Xing Zhongwan sang《The West Chamber》.

    The horseshoe left prints in the frosty street,

 

    He came back to relieve the expectations placed upon him,

 

    The official returned to bring honor to his wife.

 

    ……

 

After he finished singing, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but smile.”I haven’t sang for a long time, I couldn’t remember the lyrics. If my grandfather heard this, he would beat me with a stick.” Thinking of his grandfather, Xing Zhongwan’s chest felt a little sour.

 

A hand touched Xing Zhongwan’s shoulder. It moved to his head and gently rubbed it. Xing Zhongwan was startled. “Aiyah, you don’t have to comfort me, I’m not a kid. “

 

“You’re very good, and you can sing very well. “

 

Xing Zhongwan turned his head and the dim light hit Qi Yun’s face. Qi Yun has eaten normally these days so he has some meat on his face, which looks more pleasing to the eyes.

 

“Go open the safe now, there is a red box. Bring it to me. “

 

Xing Zhongwan wondered what was in the safe that needed to be opened in the middle of the night?

 

“Leave it until tomorrow if there’s no rush.”

 

“Wanwan, be good and go get it.” Qi Yun’s words successfully gave Xing Zhongwan goosebumps.

 

Qi Yun, you are really not suited for saying such things.

 

He took the box out and handed it to Qi Yun. Qi Yun felt around before opening the box and took out a bracelet from the inside.

 

“Extend your left hand.”

 

Xing Zhongwan stretched out his hand and saw Qi Yun unfasten the concealed clasp on the bracelet. The bracelet opened up and Qi Yun’s warm hand felt up Xing Zhongwan’s wrist before putting it on his hand. He then closed the concealed buckle. It was a little tight, but it could be worn.

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t figure out why Qi Yun did this. He raised his hand and found that the bracelet was inlaid with gold and jade. The jade inside was shining with dim light, and the jade inlaid with gold on the outside was wrapped in emerald green. The workmanship was very exquisite. It seemed to be a carving of a phoenix.

 

“This. Is this a gift for me?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was confused.

 

Qi Yun nodded, “This is what my grandmother left for her granddaughter-in-law.”

 

Xing Zhongwan suddenly raised his head. He pulled on the bracelet on his hand for a long time but couldn’t get it to open.

 

“It can’t be pulled open. This bracelet has a hidden clasp. The workmanship is very exquisite and only I know how to open it.”

 

Brother, what are you trying to do?

 

Qi Yun held Xing Zhongwan’s hand. “The one wearing a bracelet is my… Is Qi Yun’s person.”

Chapter 16 – This is a big disaster…

 

Xing Zhongwan felt that he had to clear this up with Qi Yun. This person had a deep misunderstanding and he wants to marry me, it’s worth mentioning this to him!

 

Qi Yun didn’t think so in his heart. Seeing that Xing Zhongwan didn’t respond, he felt a little flustered.

 

“Is it because I can’t see and my legs can’t move, that it would be troublesome to take care of me, I…”

 

Qi Yun’s next words suddenly stopped, even he himself didn’t know how to ask others to stay with a body like his own.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s got a headache. This was not due to his health at all, it’s the gender that’s the problem, brother. This blunder really became a big mistake. He used to think it was unnecessary to not say it. Now, if he doesn’t say it, Xing Zhongwan will be suspected of deceiving his feelings. Of course, it can’t be for real that Qi Yun actually likes Wanwan.

 

As he was thinking about it, the old housekeeper came. “Miss Xing, someone is looking for you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan squinted. Someone came to look for him?

 

It was the secretary by Xing Zhengping’s side. A forty-year-old man who looked a little wretched. Of course he was not really wretched, it was just Xing Zhongwan that disliked the Xing family and didn’t have any good impression of them.

 

“Young master, I came here to bring a message for young master.” The visitor stood respectfully in front of Xing Zhongwan and Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly, “Young master, I remember that I was removed from the Xing’s family tree a long time ago. Where did the ‘young master’ come from?” The man smiled, “No matter what, the blood relationship between you and the master is real.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was getting a little impatient, “Just get straight to the point. No more idle chit-chat.”

 

“Yes,” Xing Zhongwan’s attitude did not irritate the man standing in front of him,

 

“Young Master, the master said to please continue living here as Miss Xing.”

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “what kind of ploy is my old father making now?”

 

“Master asked me to bring you this message. No matter what the Qi family asks, please cooperate. Your mother will be moved into the family grave soon.”

 

Xing Zhongwan really wanted to spit at him. Was he such an easy fvcking target! The Qi family left him to die, so will Xing Zhongwan also cooperate with them and die together as well?

 

If Xing Zhengping wasn’t the head of the Xing family of this generation, it would’ve been mandatory for his mother to be moved to the family grave. Xing Zhongwan already got screwed over by him before, but now he was still here waiting to get more pissed off.

 

Forcing himself to calm down, Xing Zhongwan walked to the window and took a deep breath, quickly thinking about the powerful connections he held in his mind.

 

The regret his mother held in her eyes before her death would never be forgotten by Xing Zhongwan for all eternity. Of course, with his current ability, he could force Xing Zhengping to give up, but this was not what his mother wanted. His mother grew up in Xing’s family and had a deep affection for his father’s side of the family. He can’t be impulsive.

 

Xing Zhengping has suddenly asked someone to come tell him off, so that means someone must’ve said something to him. Xing Zhongwan glanced at the old housekeeper who was standing not far away, who was sneering from the corners of her mouth. This little snitch finally came out.

 

It seems that according to the current situation, he could only help Qi Yun get better as soon as possible. He can’t predict the extent to which Qi Yun will recover, but Qi Yun must also have his own plan. This was the only way he could get himself out of this as soon as possible!

 

Xing Zhongwan went back to face the man. “Go on and tell him, I will do as he says, but he must also keep his promise! If he dares to lie to me, then I won’t mind fighting to the death!”

 

When Xing Zhongwas went downstairs, he took a look at the old housekeeper. The old lady looked at him with a wry smile. Xing Zhongwan walked to her and looked at her, “The old lady isn’t too shabby. Knowing to use Missus Qi to press me. It seems we can’t keep our truce anymore, just wait and see!”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted and went upstairs. The old housekeeper looked back at his back, with a little indifference in her eyes. You are just an illegitimate child who can’t even get a say in this. What kind of ruckus can you make? Just keep quiet and deal with it!

 

Xing Zhongwan was called away and he didn’t know what was happening. The person hasn’t returned yet so Qi Yun was a little anxious. The bedroom door opened and Xing Zhongwan came in, sitting on the chair beside Qi Yun’s bed. He was a little angry but he couldn’t let it out, so he could only keep it inside.

 

“Who is it? The Xing family?”

 

Qi Yun felt that Xing Zhongwan was breathing a little heavier than usual. Qi Yun’s heart sank and suddenly there was a murderous intent in his heart that he hadn’t had for a long time now.

 

“Did the Xing family threaten you with your mother? Did my mother do it?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a deep breath. He didn’t want to answer Qi Yun’s question.

 

“Your injuries are almost healed. I will draw a bath for you. The bathtub has been changed by the workers. I will carry you on my back.”

 

Xing Zhongwan went to lift Qi Yun’s quilt but Qi Yun took his hand. “Wanwan, don’t hide things from me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s heart sank. It’s useless even if you know it because you can’t solve it. You can’t even help yourself now. I’ll be grateful if you just get better.

 

“I’m really fine, you don’t need to worry.”

 

In the bathroom, Xing Zhongwan filled in the hot water and placed Qi Yun in carefully. There were handles on both sides that Qi Yun could hold onto and not slip off. Xing Zhongwan held the bath sponge, carefully wiping Qi Yun’s scrawny back.

 

Qi Yun felt that Xing Zhongwan was in a bad mood. She had a lot of things on her mind, but she didn’t want to tell Qi Yun that because he was powerless. Thinking about it from a different standpoint, even if he knew it, he couldn’t do anything for her at this point in time. Qi Yun felt a little annoyed.

 

“You haven’t taken a bath in a long time, are you happy?” Xing Zhongwan’s voice came back but there were no emotions to be heard in that voice. The strawberry-flavored shower gel was very sweet and it made pink bubbles appear all over his body.

 

Xing Zhongwan was definitely looking for something to say, the atmosphere was too awkward and needed to be eased up… Qi Yun did not answer him and the atmosphere became even more awkward…

 

Xing Zhongwan decided to shut up.

 

“When I was young, my grandma washed me like this.” Qi Yun suddenly frightened Xing Zhongwan and he threw out the bath sponge in his hand. He picked it back up in anguish. Brother, can you not surprise others when you speak?

 

But Madam Qi’s gentle face flashed in his mind.

 

“Your grandma must’ve loved you very much.”

 

Qi Yun’s body paused, and the corners of his mouth curved up. Xing Zhongwan felt that he wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t laugh.

 

“Grandma was the only person in the Qi family who treated me sincerely. Someone of her temperament shouldn’t have married into the Qi family. How many women my grandfather has outside is well known, and he may not even remember how many grandsons he has. He doesn’t like my grandma. He didn’t even like my father. After I was born, my grandma raised me personally, and she’s already seen through my mother’s selfish heart a long time ago.”

 

The matter between Madam Qi and Qi Zongcheng, Xing Zhongwan also knew about some of it, but only the parts that everyone else knew too.

 

“You should also know what the outsiders say about me. That I’m cold-blooded and ruthless, that after the passing of my grandmother who raised me, I only walked away without shedding a tear.”

 

Qi Yun’s voice was hollow and emotionless, as if he was talking about someone else, but Xing Zhongwan heard something different.

 

“That person already died. Crying is for the living to see, and the real sadness will always remain in the heart.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s words weren’t just empty. It came from the same place after one lost their close relative. Xing Zhongwan understood this feeling.

 

Qi Yun didn’t expect Xing Zhongwan to say this, his originally closed heart suddenly opened up. Wanwan understood him.

 

Qi Yun grabbed Xing Zhongwan’s soapy hand, “I won’t be like my grandfather. There’ll only be one person in my life, Wanwan. It’s you, and it can only be you.”

Xing Zhongwan was stunned. Qi Yun, has being sick made you stupid? Your character is different from before. What should I do? Just like a hedgehog taking off his spikes and letting others squish and knead it into a ball, making difficult words harder to speak. Xing Zhongwan feels that this is a big disaster…

Chapter 15 – I will take responsibility for you, Wanwan.

 

Xing Zhongwan tucked in Qi Yun and went back to his room to call Cheng Zhengzhe.

 

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. Cheng Zhengzhe was furious on the other end of the phone, “Who do you think you are? Do you know that it’s the middle of the night right now and Laozi has to sleep?”

 

Xing Zhongwan distanced himself from the phone for a bit, “Seems that you had some good sleep recently, don’t you need to work overtime?”

 

The voice on the other end immediately became quieter, “Lao Xing, it’s you? Is that so obvious now huh…? Hehe..he.”

 

“Come on, cut the crap. I remember you said you had a one-night stand with a doctor who was an expert in ophthalmology. Do you have her contact information?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe instantly sobered up and sat up from his bed, “When were you interested in blond chicks?”

 

Xing Zhongwan coldly snorted, “Is it possible to let her come visit?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe chuckled lightly, “To let her come visit your home, just how did you think this up?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said, “Don’t just ‘haha’ at me. Do you know what I’m trying to do?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe hugged the pink pillow next to him, “Lao Xing, you care too much about Qi Yun, ah. Going as far as to ask around for a doctor for him. This isn’t your usual style of doing things. Could it be that you swing the other way now?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was much too eager to throw the phone from his hand, “You’re a transvestite but you’re still a straight man as straight as steel so it’s not Laozi’s turn to become gay. His and my family has some… er, well there are some things I still can’t explain clearly to you. Just do this one task well. Don’t bother about the rest. Hanging up now.”

 

“Hey, don’t hang up, hey!”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe still had the phone grasped tightly with a dazed expression. He then quickly called Xue Qing. The deafening music on the other side of the tone made Cheng Zhengzhe almost throw out the pink pillow in his arms.

 

“What do you want? Laoniang is busy, why did you call?” The woman’s voice on the other end of the phone was very unpleasant. Cheng Zhengzhe increased the volume, “I think you have to go back to China to see Lao Xing. Don’t let him get stuck in the muddy Qi family.” 

 

There was a sound of high heels clicking and after a while, the sound of music disappeared.

 

“What do you mean, you sissy! How could Lao Xing have some kind of connection with the Qi family?”

 

“Anyway, don’t ask too much. Just take some time to fly back and see Lao Xing take the doctor by the way.”

 

“What doctor?” Xue Qing felt a headache coming.

 

“It’s not easy for Lao Xing to get out of the mess in the country. We can’t just watch him walk down that old path again.”

 

Xue Qing’s eyebrows scrunched up. “First tell me, how did he get involved with the Qi family?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe took a deep breath,”Laoxing is now doing all the work for Xing Zhongjie by pretending to be her for Qi Yun. “

 

“What the f/ck!” Xue Qing almost kicked the high heels off her feet, “This is even more impossible than the sun rising from the west. With Xing Zhongwan’s attitude, he’s willing to serve other people? Laoniang can’t wait to see this. Quickly call that doctor, I’ll take some time off to fly back.”

 

After Zing Zhongwan hung up the phone, he went to take a shower. He changed his clothes and he went back upstairs, feeling refreshed. To tell the truth, he didn’t like cooking very much. The smoke and oil were all really bad for the skin… When he changed his clothes, he realized that the many shopping bags he brought back from last time contained a few sets of clothing for Qi Yun… The allowance given by the Qi family was still spent on Qi Yun.

 

He went to the third floor and took the clothes out of the shopping bags. “I bought you some clothes. I’ll let you try them. Even if one is lying down, even as an ill person, we must wear presentable clothing so our moods will be good. With a good mood, the body will recover quicker.”

 

Qi Yun opened his eyes and listened to Xing Zhongwan indifferently as he said a bunch of baffling things.

 

Xing Zhongwan took out a shirt and decided to let Qi Yun try it on. Qi Yun gave the material a feel, “How much do they give you a month?”

 

Xing Zhongwan scratched his head and said a figure.

 

Qi Yun snorted coldly, “With the money they gave you, you won’t be able to afford this shirt.” Xing Zhongwan laughed, his slender eyes became sharp. He couldn’t tell that Qi Yun, just after feeling the material, could guess this.

 

Yes, the Qi family gave him a lot of money, but compared to Qi Yun’s previous expenses, it was completely incomparable. Xing Zhongwan did spend a lot of his own money. But he doesn’t care. Money is replenishable, after spending it, he can just earn more.

 

Qi Yun loosened his hand that was holding the shirt, “Open the third drawer of the desk. There is a safe in it. Come here and open your hand for the code.”

 

Xing Zhongwan opened his hand and Qi Yun wrote a few numbers on the palm of his hand. “There is a stack of bank cards in it. Take out the third one.”

 

Xing Zhongwan did so, “Got it.”

 

“There is also a note in it with a row of contact numbers on it. Remember the sixth one.”

 

Xing Zhongwan memorized it silently, “Anything else?”

 

“Nothing.”

 

Xing Zhongwan closed the safe and walked to Qi Yun’s side.

 

Qi Yun tilted his head, facing Xing Zhongwan, “Keep this card, you can use it to buy whatever you want in the future. The money the Qi family gave you is not enough.”

 

Xing Zhongwan just wanted to say, I have money. Plus, how can I use an ill person’s money?

 

Qi Yun spoke in front of him, “As a girl, you shouldn’t spend money. This is just what I should do.” Qi Yun turned his head away a little in embarrassment after he said it.

 

Xing Zhongwan was petrified in an instant as he held the card. Girl…what f/cking girl, Laozi… Laozi! Since you’re letting me use this card. I’m going to max it out!

 

“Call that number. The other person will know what to do. You just need to find a way to get me out of here and take me wherever the other person specifies.”

 

Xing Zhongwan waved the card in his hand. “Can I ask who the other person is? What if I take you out and something happens to you, won’t the Xing family tear me up?”

 

Qi Yun touched his faintly aching legs, “It’s someone who can be trusted, but it can’t be known to anyone in this house.”

 

Xing Zhongwan nodded, he is not nosy. Since Qi Yun said so, it should be no problem. After all, Xing Zhengping would not be so obedient about moving his mother back.

 

“You haven’t told me yet, what did Xing Zhengping promise you? Do you have some leverage in the situation?”

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help rolling his eyes to the sky. That stubbornness still hasn’t gone yet.

 

“I already told you…”

 

“Don’t use being my fiancee as an excuse. I have long disowned the Xing family a long time ago. Even if my mother was involved with Xing Zhengping, it would be useless even if I persisted.”

 

F/ck. Qi Yun, what do you want me to say? To tell you that I’m the dumb boy who was thrown away by you back then for saying I wanted to make you my wife, that I was here to specifically thank you on behalf of my mother…

 

I’ll even make the hairs on my own body stand if I said that.

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t speak for a long time so Qi Yun couldn’t help but also back off. Wanwan was not an ordinary person. He can’t keep pushing her, it’ll only scare her…

 

“You…I only just wanted to protect you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pondered. You should protect yourself first, still thinking of protecting me? Then after thinking a bit more, he realized this person didn’t mean any ill will. I thought too much and became narrow-minded.

 

“It has something to do with my mother, but I can handle it. Don’t think so much.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said vaguely.

 

Qi Yun didn’t ask anymore. Xing Zhongwan obviously didn’t want him to know too much. His heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

 

“It’s okay if you don’t say it now, we will live together in the future, and I will know sooner or later.”

 

Which one says we want to live with you all the time?

 

Xing Zhongwan almost threw the card out of his hand. Is it not enough now? He still wants to enslave me for eternity.

 

“After all, you have stayed by my side and taken care of me. You won’t find anyone else good in the future, so I’ll marry you.”

 

Qi Yun’s ears were red and Xing Zhongwan’s face turned pale.

 

“I will take responsibility for you, Wanwan.”

 

Pa-ta, the card in Xing Zhongwan’s hand fell to the ground…

T/N: Wow Qi Yun, very big words there… Anyways, this concludes the end of the mass updates I promised… out of nowhere… Do leave a like and some comments, I really appreciate your thoughts 🙂

I guess I’ll crawl back into my blankets cave now… See you in a bit, please do take care and drink lots of fluids. Don’t go out too much, now that omnicron’s pretty rampant. Please take your vaccines, and social distance for the sake of your loved ones and yourself most importantly, you are my dear readers after all. It might be challenging, being alone with no social interaction or family (if they live far away), and trust me, I know how that’s like too, but if we work together, I’m sure it’ll all blow over sooner and before we know it, we can see our friends and fam again 🙂

Chapter 14 – Let you become the honorable young madam Qi

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t know at this time that when he was just making a joke, there was someone that took it seriously.

 

I feel satisfied after looking at the trimmed up hair. The craftsmanship he used to trim his mother’s hair with back then was not forgotten. If you ignore the bald spot on the left side of the forehead, it is still not bad, but Qi Yun can’t see it, so who cares.

 

Xing Zhongwan cleaned up and decided to push Qi Yun back inside, it was also time to eat lunch. Qi Yun raised his hand and touched his own head. The shoulder-length hair that was disheveled had been cut short. Seeing that Qi Yun’s hand was about to move to touch the bald spot, Xing Zhongwan quickly took Qi Yun’s hand, “Come on, let’s go to eat.”

 

Qi Yun was visibly stunned but held it back. Xing Zhongwan looked at their held hands in surprise. What the f/ck, as two grown men, what is this… a chill passed down his spine.

 

Xing Zhongwan pulled his hand away and Qi Yun didn’t say anything. Wanwan’s hands were quite big with very slender fingers. For a girl to have hands like this was… quite rare… 

 

Xing Zhongwan coughed awkwardly and pushed Qi Yun’s wheelchair while walking back.

 

“You are good at taking care of others.” Qi Yun said suddenly. Xing Zhongwan’s heart was full of mixed feelings. Brother, did you think I was willing? Apart from my mother, there’s no one else I’ve treated as well as I did her, apart from you that is. After finishing my mother’s affairs, Laozi will quickly leave.

 

Thinking like this in his heart, Xing Zhongwan’s mouth became playful and crass.

 

“Who made you become my fiance? If I don’t take care of you, then who will.” After speaking, he couldn’t help but get goosebumps. Xing Zhongwan, is it really appropriate for you to harass a sick person like this?

 

But Qi Yun used to be pretty disgusting too, and nothing wrong with telling a few jokes.

 

As expected, Qi Yun stopped talking and Xing Zhongwan thought he had successfully disgusted him. Who would think that Qi Yun didn’t think that way, and thought that it was already good enough for someone to accompany him.

 

At lunch time, Xing Zhongwan asked Qi Yun if he was unwell and whether he wanted to eat upstairs or in the dining room. Qi Yun shook his head, meaning that he didn’t want to go back upstairs.

 

Xing Zhongwan asked the housekeeper to bring out the meal and pushed Qi Yun to the table. The maids around all bowed their heads and dared not speak. Qi Yun was used to lying down so he didn’t feel it, but now that he’s sitting in a wheelchair, although he was so thin and unable to see, this still made them all feel frightened. Although the person in the wheelchair couldn’t see with his eyes, he had a strong presence. It was unimaginable to think of what he would be like if he really got better in the future.

 

Xing Zhongwan placed the chopsticks into Qi Yun’s hand, “Do you have any strength? Can you pick it up?” Qi Yun stiffly grasped the chopsticks, his fingers were very inflexible. Xing Zhongwan used his own chopsticks to place some greens in his bowl. “You have some vegetables in your bowl, try to pick them up.” 

 

Qi Yun did so, and it took a long time to muster up the strength to pick up the greens. The hand holding onto the chopsticks was trembling and he was about to put it into his mouth when they landed on his blanket-covered lap. Everyone around took a deep breath but none of them dared to speak. Xing Zhongwan naturally took the vegetables that fell on the blanket and grabbed Qi Yun’s frozen hand. “That’s normal, let’s try again. It’s alright.”

 

Qi Yun expressionlessly held his chopsticks again, trying to pick up the vegetables in the bowl. The old housekeeper on one side almost couldn’t catch her breath, but surprisingly Qi Yun was not angry and even obediently did it again. The old housekeeper couldn’t help but begin to reevaluate Xing Zhongwan who was sitting next to Qi Yun. Since this man came, the third young master Qi seemed to be faintly changing in some places.

 

Originally, the old housekeeper didn’t take this person too seriously, but when she knew more about the real person, the old housekeeper was more scornful. The Xing family really made a wishful calculation and sent a man over to pretend to be Xing Zhongjie. It was so daring. Since the missus on the other side didn’t say anything, she also joined in on the act, calling this ‘Miss Xing’, Miss Xing. He was supposed to be an insignificant person. Unexpectedly, he was a little fox hiding in the dark, and very perceptive. It seemed that she had to report to the missus. The third young master Qi’s and attitude towards this man was also beginning to change.

 

After trying several times, Qi Yun finally put the greens into his mouth. Xing Zhongwan was happy and clapped his hands. “I knew you could do it, look… your chopsticks are able to grasp the vegetables.”

 

Qi Yun was amused at Xing Zhongwan’s way of exaggerated praise that one would usually give to a child. Although his face was still expressionless, he thought this kind of Wanwan was a little cute. He tried to hold something else using the chopsticks and it went smoother this time. The moment Qi Yun placed it in his mouth and ate it, warmth flowed through Qi Yun’s heart, and this warmth came from the woman sitting next to him.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun with a smile, and the maids on the side looked on with shock. It’s too beautiful. He used to have such a fierce and sullen look, but after smiling a little, even the flowers in the room were about to thank them for the dazzling sight.

 

Qi Yun put down the chopsticks to eat a few bites, Xing Zhongwan asked, “Eat more? No way, are you finished eating?”

 

Qi Yun faintly said something, “It tastes bad.”

 

After hearing him say that it tasted bad, the knees of the maid responsible for the cooking went soft. Qi Yun’s voice hasn’t recovered. The hoarse and low sound was indeed unpleasant to hear but the man sitting down with his dull eyes and his suppressive presence was the former third young master Qi could make others shiver with just one glance.

 

“I’ll…go and remake it..!” 

 

The words came out choppy.

 

Qi Yun didn’t seem to hear it and turned his face to Xing Zhongwan. “It’s not as delicious as what you made.”

 

Xing Zhongwan resignedly put down his chopsticks. Yes, he wanted to eat my cooking. It was his fault that he made him crave for his food, and he could only blame himself for this.

 

He got up and went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took a look before choosing a few digestible dishes and put them in the sink, turned around and asked Qi Yun, “It’ll take half an hour. If you’re tired, I will carry you up first.”

 

Qi Yun said. “No.”

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t give up. “There will be a smell of oil and smoke.”

 

“It doesn’t matter.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned his head helplessly. Was it all in his head but, don’t you think Qi Yun was being a bit clingy like this…

 

“All of you, leave.” Qi Yun looked to the front, the breathing of the people around him made him feel uncomfortable.

 

“Third young master Qi, I’ll wait at the side,” the old housekeeper carefully took a step forward. Qi Yun picked up the bowl at the table and threw it in the direction of her sound. The beautiful bowl shattered with a crisp sound at the feet of the old housekeeper.

 

Someone was already shaking, and the old housekeeper bowed down. Her face was pale.

 

“I’m not dead yet, it’s not your turn yet to call the shots here!” The old housekeeper took a few steps back, said yes, turned and left. She couldn’t help wiping a handful of sweat from her forehead before leaving.

 

Several maids rushed out in fright and it was finally quiet and peaceful. Qi Yun closed his eyes, he heard the sound of sizzling vegetable oil in a pan through his ears and felt a little better.

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but stick his head out, “Why are you looking for trouble with an old lady? Although she did neglect you before, she was also just a pawn. What’s the point of frightening her? What if something bad happens? Can you find someone else to replace her that’ll be more worry-free than her?”

 

Qi Yun didn’t reply for a long time and Xing Zhongwan set the vegetables out in front of Qi Yun, “I will warm up some soup, it will be ready soon.”

 

“She is one of my mother’s people and almost watched me grow up. It’s not that she didn’t treat me well. After I became crippled, she changed. All the good things in the past disappeared with it. Even if she was instructed to be here by my mother, she is still a little sincere, she will not stand by idly just to watch me rot in bed.”

 

Xing Zhongwan threw the tomato into the pot, “Have you not seen enough greedy people who want to have it both ways?

 

Qi Yun froze for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled, “You are not one of them.”

 

Xing Zhongwan laughed out loud, “Don’t be so arbitrary, be careful that I might’ve poisoned the soup.”

 

Qi Yun’s meal went very slowly. There was a lot of soup ladled out, and Xing Zhongwan was not in a hurry. He was telling jokes on his own. Qi Yun didn’t speak for a long while, but he was in a good mood.

 

After he finished drinking a small bowl of soup, Xing Zhongwan stuffed a small towel into Qi Yun’s hand.

 

Qi Yun wiped his mouth stiffly, and Xing Zhongwan looked at his chin with a sigh. The people who came out of the Qi family were different. Even if they were blind and paralyzed, they were different from others, and they also wiped their mouths differently. What Qi Yun just did even looked better than what ordinary people would do.

 

Qi Yun slowly placed the small towel in his hand back on the dining table, “The food is delicious, you’ve learned to cook before?”

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned back in his chair. He didn’t deliberately learn to do it, and it was all for his mother. He and his mother depended on each other, so of course, he had to give her the best and make her the most comfortable. Who made him so smart that he could pick up everything quickly.

 

“Are you complimenting me?” Xing Zhongwan raised his brows and looked at Qi Yun’s expressionless face. Qi Yun nodded unexpectedly

 

The tease that Xing Zhongwan wanted to make suddenly couldn’t come out of his lips.

 

“I’ll carry you upstairs, you sat for too long today.”

 

Xing Zhongwan squatted down in front of Qi Yun. With a pair of thin hands around his shoulders, Xing Zhongwan carried the person on his back and walked steadily.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s hair touched Qi Yun’s nose and a scent of pine wood lingered in his nose.

 

“You still have sensation in your legs. It’s not hopeless if you want to stand up. Do you want to try rehabilitation or find a doctor you trust to make a diagnosis?”

 

Xing Zhongwan carried Qi Yun on his back to the second floor. In fact, this idea wasn’t just one that was hanging in the air. Even if Qi Yun’s legs could not be restored to how they were before, it was good enough if he could stand.

 

The man on his back did not respond for a long time, and Xing Zhongwan won’t say any more if the other was unwilling.

 

When he arrived in the room on the third floor, Xing Zhongwan put Qi Yun on the bed and covered the quilt. The handrail guards of the toilet have been installed. Xing Zhongwan went in and looked around and was very satisfied.

 

When he walked to Qi Yun’s bed, he found his face facing him.

 

“You have something to say?”

 

Qi Yun’s Adam’s apple moved, “Do you want me to stand up?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was asked this. The question was a bit weird, did it matter if I wished it or not? Xing Zhongwan, who had long forgotten his own teasing of others, looked at him puzzledly.

Xing Zhongwan was silent and Qi Yun was a little uncomfortable. Don’t look away. I will realize your wish and let you become the honorable young madam Qi…

Chapter 13 – So you have a reason to stay.

 

Since being paralyzed in bed, Qi Yun hasn’t been able to sleep at ease for even a night. But for some reason, he was able to fall into a deep sleep today. The shallow breathing of Xing Zhongwan who was sleeping on the ground made Qi Yun feel inexplicably relieved. If it were a few years earlier, he would not be able to get accustomed to being in the same room with others. Not to mention falling asleep, he would be uncomfortable even after a long time has passed.

 

Since he was paralyzed, he fell into complete silence. Most of the time, he would be alone, waiting for time to pass by in his dark world. Maybe it was because of the physical pain, Qi Yun sometimes thought that he would not make it on his own. Who knew God would send Wanwan to him.

 

Qi Yun has never seen such a careless woman who could sleep anywhere, but it is this attitude of hers that made Qi Yun feel relaxed.

 

This ease made Qi Yun fall asleep peacefully, and he had a long dream. In the dream, his grandma smiled and said to him, “That child is really likable, but he’s a boy, otherwise grandma will ask her to be your wife.” 

 

In a blink of an eye, his dying grandma was grabbing his hands “Yun-er, the surname you bear is of great importance and you will have to endure hardship in the future. Your mother and grandfather are ruthless people. From now on, grandma can’t look after you. You must be very careful about everything. Grandma really hates herself, her body is not strong enough to help you look for a good match in matrimony. The Qi family is cold, it’s good if you can find someone close to you to be by your side.” 

 

At his grandma’s funeral, his mother was crying until she almost fainted, and grandpa just took a single look and never came back again. Qi Yun coldly watched his mother’s act and never shed a single tear from the beginning to the end. The circle of relatives and friends said that he was ruthless, even after being brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, but he still didn’t shed a single tear.

 

In a blink of an eye, he was assigned to marry the only daughter of the Xing family at the age of 25. When he followed his grandfather to the door, he suddenly remembered the jokes between his grandma and him about the mother and son pair that were saved by his grandmother. He could no longer remember what the little boy looked like, but only remembered that he dumbly called him “big sister”.

 

After the Xing family agreed to divorce, his grandfather matched him up with the daughter of the Qiu family and the two people made a marriage contract after only seeing each other once.

 

He was sitting next to her on the day of the car accident. When Qi Yun was about to be hit by a truck from the side, Qi Yun wanted to turn the steering wheel but the woman by his side held on tightly to him. Her eyes were full of hate, “Qi Yun, someone like you should die!” When she finished talking, the large truck on the opposite side ran into the car head-on. The face of the woman in the passenger seat was instantly crushed and her blood was splashed onto Qi Yun’s face.

 

While he was in his trance, there was a voice calling him to wake him up… When Qi Yun woke up, the person beside him breathed out a sigh of relief. Qi Yun suddenly felt that the person beside him could be trusted, maybe he could bring him out of this darkness.

 

The next morning, Xing Zhongwan called a few workers to do some work in the bathroom. The old housekeeper looked at him coldly as though this unbearable Xing Zhongwan was about to demolish the house.

 

Xing Zhongwan poured a cup of coffee and smiled at the old housekeeper, “Old lady, take it easy. I’m just putting in a few rail guards, why are you so nervous?” The old housekeeper smiled and gritted her teeth, “You have no right to make changes to the house.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a sip of coffee and he smiled at the housekeeper. “Then go ahead and take your complaints to Madam Qi.” The old housekeeper trembled angrily, turned around, and went downstairs.

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly, went to the bathroom to take a look before going to check up on Qi Yun.

 

The person in bed has already woken up, “What are you letting them do?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said, “I’m allowing them to remodel the bathroom so that it is much more convenient for you to go by yourself. It’ll save the number of times I need to help you to get up and go to the washroom so it won’t look like I’m taking advantage of you.”

 

Actually, Xing Zhongwan felt that Qi Yun was somewhat reluctant to be brought to the bathroom by him. He would have to leave sooner or later and Qi Yun would have to rely on himself one day. It’s better to let him get used to this as soon as possible. “Today’s weather is really good. How about I take you out for a tour?”

 

Xing Zhongwan walked to the window and took a deep breath. This place was remote, but the air is really good. Qi Yun didn’t speak and Xing Zhongwan didn’t wait for him to answer. He walked to the bed and helped Qi Yun up. “Come on, cooperate with me. Put your hand on my shoulder, and I will carry you down.”

 

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, carry him down…? A woman, carrying him down…?

 

Qi Yun didn’t feel too happy…

Xing Zhongwan didn’t think too much. “Hurry up, what are you doing?” 

 

In the end, Xing Zhongwan still carried Qi Yun on his back. He walked carefully from the third floor to the first floor. Qi Yun was lying on Xing Zhongwan’s back with red ears. How could he let a girl carry him on his back? Even though Wanwan was much stronger than ordinary girls…

 

Xing Zhongwan dragged Qi Yun’s two soft legs and to be honest, carrying him on his back was much easier than dragging him to the bathroom. Qi Yun was tall and his bones were heavy.

 

On the first floor, The old housekeeper pushed a wheelchair over and didn’t look too happy. Xing Zhongwan put Qi Yun on the wheelchair and adjusted his waist. Putting a coat on him, he looked back at the old housekeeper. “Don’t worry, we’ll just be around the entrance of the garden. It’s not that far away.”

 

The old housekeeper didn’t even want to look at him, treating him as though he were invisible. The maids on the side all looked surprised. Unexpectedly, the third young master Qi who had been lying in bed for more than a year finally sat up and came out. This Miss Xing wasn’t some simpleton.

 

Xing Zhongwan pushed Qi Yun to the garden. Qi Yun was stunned by the incoming fresh air. There was the sound of birds chirping in his ears and the shouts of gardeners not far away. Qi Yun was a little confused as he grabbed the handles of the wheelchair.

 

“What do you think, it’s still better to be alive huh.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun’s profile. His skin that had not seen the sun in so long became translucent under the sunlight and the blood vessels inside could be vaguely seen.

 

He didn’t feel this in the room, but after coming out, it seemed that Qi Yun’s hair had not been cared for in a year, making him look like a savage. Xing Zhongwan rubbed his forehead with a headache, looking at it was unpleasant to the eye.

 

“Wait here, I’ll go into the house to get scissors to trim your hair.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said so, and he helped Qi Yun fix the wheelchair before going back to get the scissors. Qi Yun’s hand grabbed his sleeves immediately and Xing Zhongwan obliged. “I’ll be back in a while, right at this entrance. The old housekeeper should be watching from a distance. She won’t let anything happen to you.”

 

Qi Yun slowly let go and Xing Zhongwan suddenly felt that he looked like he was lost, like a puppy who was afraid of being abandoned.

 

In the past, if anyone were to mention that the third young master Qi would one day feel fear, it would definitely make others laugh their molars out.

 

Xing Zhongwan quickly ran into the house and asked the housekeeper for a pair of scissors and a comb. The old housekeeper refused to give it at first so Xing Zhongwan laughed angrily, “What good will come out of it if I harm him. Old lady, you look like a smart person, but can’t seem to judge the situation.”

 

After getting the scissors and comb, Xing Zhongwan jogged towards Qi Yun. Looking at him from a distance, Qi Yun’s thin back looked particularly lonely. Xing Zhongwan slowed down and approached Qi Yun carefully. Seeing him looking straight ahead with his empty eyes and his hands tightly holding the wheelchair handles. Xing Zhongwan just stood aside and didn’t speak. He wanted to see how Qi Yun would react. In fact, Xing Zhongwan still held a grudge from when Qi Yun threw his mother’s pastries into the trash. Qi Yun is indifferent and unkind. In the circle, one of the most prolific rumors was about how he never shed a single tear at Madam Qi’s funeral, the person who raised him since he was a child. He was just that cold.

 

Qi Yun grasped the wheelchair and his grip tightened. Although there were no expressions on his face, Xing Zhongwan knew that he was nervous. After being paralyzed for so long, Qi Yun finally had a human connection.

 

Xing Zhongwan swallowed his own disgust but he could not bully others or his mother would appear in his dreams tonight scolding him with bloody profanities.

 

Grasping Qi Yun’s hand, Xing Zhongwan said, “I’m back, let’s start cutting your hair.”

 

Qi Yun’s grip suddenly softened and he turned his head to face Xing Zhongwan’s direction. Xing Zhongwan opened his eyes wide, “What? You have something to say?” After he finished speaking, Xing Zhongwan froze. He lowered his head because his hand was held by Qi Yun, it was not strong but still held firmly.

 

“Stay here, don’t go!” The hoarse voice said very gently and Xing Zhongwan almost didn’t hear it.

 

“I didn’t say I was going to go.” At least I was not going to leave now, Xing Zhongwan added in his heart.

 

Qi Yun let go of his hand and recovered his calm. Xing Zhongwan placed a white frock around Qi Yun’s neck and the scissors and comb in his hand danced around neatly.

 

Qi Yun took in the faint pine wood fragrance and closed his eyes.

 

Young Madam Qi? Soon, I will make it as you wished!

 

The corners of Qi Yun’s mouth perked up a little. This way, you’ll have a reason to stay.

T/N: Owo, isit just me or did yall also get the chills after reading that last sentence? Maybe the weather here’s getting a little chilly, time to huddle underneath the blankets cause I’ve got no heater ahaha. Needless to say, phew Qi Yun, aren’t you the scary one? I didn’t think the possessiveness would start till at least halfway through the story! Welp, you never fail to impress/ dissappoint me to say the least xD

Poor Xing Zhongwan. If he knew, imagine what it’ll be like to be in his shoes hehe (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥  (ㆆ_ㆆ)

Anyways, seeya in the next chapter!!! It’s a mass-release like I told’ja!! 👋≧◉ᴥ◉≦

Chapter 12 – Why is your face so red!?

 

Xing Zhongwan woke up in the middle of the night. He stretched out his hand to the side and started feeling around, but he didn’t touch anything. His bewildered mind was sober in an instant. This was not in his room, Laozi is lying on the ground!

 

His throat was so dry that it was uncomfortable, so Xing Zhongwan simply got up and prepared to go downstairs to pour himself some water. Suddenly he heard a low muffled hum from the side. Xing Zhongwan got up and leaned forward, switching on the bedside lamp on one side. Qi Yun was sweating profusely under the dim light. He had his eyes closed, lips pressed so tightly together that they turned white. Xing Zhongwan gently pushed his shoulder, but he didn’t wake up. He was having a nightmare.

 

Xing Zhongwan grabbed his hand that was clutching the bed sheets tightly, “Qi Yun, wake up. Qi Yun, Qi Yun!”

 

Qi Yun opened his eyes sharply, panting heavily.

 

Xing Zhongwan breathed a sigh of relief, “You were trapped in a nightmare just now.”

 

Following Xing Zhongwan’s voice, Qi Yun turned his head and looked straight at him with unseeing eyes. Xing Zhongwan got up and wanted to get a towel to wipe him but Qi Yun grabbed his hand as soon as he tried to leave. There was still sticky sweat in Qi Yun’s palms as he held onto the back of his hand subtly.

 

“I’ll get a towel and I’ll be back in a bit,” Xing Zhongwan calmly pulled back his hand. Two grown men holding hands in the middle of the night felt strange.

 

Qi Yun kept looking at the direction where Xing Zhongwan set out, until he felt the person who had left come back. The warm towel wiped the sweat on his forehead and the feeling of being alive returned to Qi Yun little by little.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s hand was held by Qi Yun again. Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun incomprehensibly, his cheeks trembling slightly. Qi Yun gritted his teeth, and he was nervous.

 

“You have something you want to say to me?” Xing Zhongwan stopped wiping, Qi Yun’s pale lips moved slightly, “Why did you stay here?”

 

In the quiet night, Qi Yun’s hoarse voice cut through the silence. Xing Zhongwan was taken aback for a moment. He threw the towel in his hand on the side of the table, and simply sat cross-legged on the ground with a frown, “You want to hear the truth?”

 

Qi Yun opened his eyes nonchalantly. Will anyone tell him the truth now? Or can he still trust people now?

 

Xing Zhongwan drew a handful of his own long-ish hair, “Look, you won’t believe anyone, so is my answer important?” 

 

There was a long silence… Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help swallowing his saliva to moisturize his parched throat. In the middle of the night, these two big men were talking in riddles with each other. It was really pointless. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but yawn. After meeting Qi Yun, he didn’t get enough sleep every day. It was really terrible.

 

He gave up the idea of ​​drinking water, intending to lie back down and continue to sleep. He didn’t expect Qi Yun to say, “I want to believe you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s eyes widened like he saw a ghost. Did I lack sleep and was now having auditory hallucinations?

 

Xing Zhongwan wasn’t getting enough sleep, yes, but his brain was not rusty yet. He couldn’t help but laugh. At first he held it in, but in the end, he couldn’t help but laugh louder and louder. Qi Yun frowned little by little, his voice was dissatisfied, “Is it so funny?”

 

Xing Zhongwan finally stopped laughing, “Qi Yun, why do you want to believe me? Have you seen me? Do you even know who I am? You just want to believe me. Has lying on the bed turned you stupid? What if my intentions are impure? Maybe I just want to gain your trust and favour to get something from you. Trust? I advise you that this kind of thing is what you need the least of right now. Don’t be harmed by this thing.”

 

Qi Yun didn’t speak for a long time, as if he was seriously considering Xing Zhongwan’s words. Xing Zhongwan wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, laughing so exaggeratedly that tears came out.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at the thin and shapeless man. It was a bit pitiful. But I don’t think I’ve said too much. I’m really not malicious towards Qi Yun. If he takes care of him, his mother can enter Xing’s ancestral grave. At the same time, he can also repay Mrs. Qi’s kindness to him and his mother. That’s all.

 

It can be said that Xing Zhongwan is selfish, but he also felt that it was unbearable to watch that beautiful sister of the past degenerate into what he is today.

 

Xing Zhongwan is not a saint, he will leave sooner or later, so it’s better not to have this kind of trust.

 

Qi Yun faced Xing Zhongwan’s direction, his eyes turned blankly. He could not see, it was pitch black, but he could only feel Xing Zhongwan’s breathing and body temperature.

 

“You are not that kind of person.” Qi Yun’s tone was very calm.

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned, “You have only been with me for a few days, how do you know that I am not such a person?” 

 

“If you are someone sent just to spy on me, then you just have to keep me alive like how they’ve been doing, instead of wasting your effort to take care of me. Taking care of a body like me is an arduous and thankless task, and you don’t have to act so diligently.”

 

“Besides, you don’t have anything you can gain from me. It’s unlikely what my mother wants will come through you from the Xing Family, no one trusts her. The reason why Xing Zhengping is willing to let the Xing family take care of me is to get some benefits from me in the end. He made some very good calculations. Xing Zhengping was reluctant to let his only daughter take care of my crippled self, but he will not find some random person to stand in as someone from the Xing family, so you must also have the Xing surname. There is only one daughter of Xing Zhongjie in the family, so you are either the daughter of a collateral or an illegitimate daughter. Xing Zhengping is not ballsy enough to threaten others. The Xing family is now gradually falling into disarray so the others won’t take him too seriously. If there was any interest involved and you are here for the money, you don’t have to do that much for my sake.”

 

Qi Yun’s neck was red again now and Xing Zhongwan doesn’t have to think too much to know that it must be time for him to go potty again.

 

Qi Yun snorted, “So what are you doing?”

 

Hearing Qi Yun’s words so concisely, Xing Zhongwan really wanted to applaud him, except for the fact that he didn’t know his gender, he didn’t get anything wrong.

 

“You didn’t tell the truth either. You obviously still have some feeling in your legs but you deceived everyone.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was a little tired. He bent down to lie on Qi Yun’s bed.

 

Qi Yun turned his head, the darkness in front of him was like his current state of mind.

 

At first, his legs did not feel any sensation, it was just that his mother and grandfather’s attitude made Qi Yun cold. After that, his legs slowly regained some feeling, but there were spies all around him. Not only Madam Qi’s people, but also many people who hid in the dark, wishing for him to die sooner. Qi Yun couldn’t let these people know that his legs felt some sensation as it would be easier for him to get by now that he was both crippled and blind. He needed to keep this a secret so that he could protect himself.

 

“My car crash was not an accident, someone wanted to harm me.”

 

Qi Yun’s voice was rough and awkward while saying that someone wanted to harm him but his tone was terrifyingly calm.

 

Xing Zhongwan thought to himself that he too didn’t want to think about Qi Yun’s previous style of doing things, one where he didn’t show any mercy or do things that were less dirty. This was naturally just karma.

 

It was clear that this person grew up to be even prettier than paintings, but his heart was harder than stone.

 

Xing Zhongwan did not reply to his statement, he was not interested in these things, and did not want to know too much. The less he knows, the easier it is to get out.

 

“So, what are you doing this for?”

 

Qi Yun seemed obsessed with asking this question. Xing Zhongwan became very playful and wanted to tease him.

 

“What am I doing this for? Of course, it is to marry you. Isn’t my current status your fiancee? Xing Zhengping promised me that if I take care of you, I will get the title of Young Madam Qi. So that’s why I came here.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said while holding back a laugh. He thought Qi Yun would refute a few words, such as saying that he wouldn’t want the daughter of the Xing family, or that the title of Young Madam Qi was now useless.

 

But the strange thing is that Qi Yun didn’t even refute it.

 

Xing Zhongwan waited for a while and leaned forward curiously and looked over.

 

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, Qi Yun’s neck and ears were a mess, and even his face was a little red.

 

Xing Zhongwan was startled, thinking Qi Yun was not feeling well, his hand was on his forehead, but it didn’t feel hot.

 

Xing Zhongwan was surprised, then why is your face so red!?

T/N: Insert ‘another one’ meme here.

Chapter 11 – What Qi Yun will do in the future, what did it have to do with me?

 

Xing Zhongwan felt that it is necessary to clarify that he was in fact a man

 

When he was about to speak, the phone rang. Xing Zhongwan was taken aback by this. Who the hell set such a frightening ringtone…

 

He walked to the door to answer the phone, only for Zhengzhe’s soft and charming voice to come out, which made Xing Zhongwan feel chills down his spine.

 

“Cheng Zhengzhe, will you get itchy all over if you don’t pretend to be a woman for one day. If there’s nothing, I will hang up. Nothing good has happened all day long!”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe laughed, “Once you hear this, you’re going to anxiously be begging for me to say more.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly and wanted to hang up the phone.

 

“Hey, don’t hang up, don’t hang up! I really have some business to tell you about.”

 

Xing Zhongwan dug his ears impatiently, “If you don’t spit out this so-called ‘business’, just wait for your death then!” 

 

Cheng Zhengzhe cut him off. “I’ve done a little investigation these days and discovered something very interesting.”

 

Xing Zhongwan switched his mobile phone to his other hand, “Spit it out! I’m fvcking tired!”

 

“Qi Yun was raised by his grandmother since he was a child. Did you know?”

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned against the wall and the kind-eyed grandmother flashed in his mind. How did such a kind old woman raise such an unfortunate child, third young master Qi!

 

Of course, Cheng Zhengzhe didn’t know that Xing Zhongwan and Madam Qi knew each other.

 

“The late Madam Qi was the only daughter of Haiyuan of the Shen family. Before marrying into the Qi family, she had a daughter with her ex-husband. This daughter stayed in the Shen family, which has Shen Qinghong as the head of the Shen family. Shen Qinghong is unmarried and has no children. But…Qi Yun was very much loved by Shen Qinghong when he was young. Lao Xing… Qi Yun doesn’t have any hidden trump cards left to play! The Haiyuan’s Shen family, that’s a door that only a few can open. If Madam Qi was still alive, taking into consideration her love for Qi Yun when she was still alive, it’s impossible that she would not leave him with a way out. Qi Yun’s father died long ago, and Shen Qinghong had no children. The only person who has the blood of the Shen family is Qi Yun.”

 

“I told you this to remind you not to stay too close to Qi Yun. Although this person is crippled, his brain is not bad. Third young master Qi is not a good person and his methods are cruel, and he offended a lot of people when he was in good health. Now that the walls are crumbling down, there isn’t a single person who wishes him well.

 

If he hadn’t been in a car accident, the Qi family would have belonged to him. Such a person can’t be taken lightly even if he is crippled. Lao Xing… you don’t like this circle, and you’ve stayed out of it for so many years. Don’t put yourself back in because of Qi Yun! It’s easy to get in, but it’s hard to get out!”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was rarely serious. Xing Zhongwan leaned against the wall lazily. His entire body felt weak like it was without bones. “You think too much, I will leave after I settle the affair regarding my mother. As for Qi Yun, I’ll just leave it up to fate. I already thought it through. Don’t you think too much!”

 

“That’s good!” Zhengzhe breathed a sigh of relief, “After it’s finished, come back quickly. This one is still waiting for you to come back to preside over the overall situation.”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up the phone, a pair of narrow and cold eyes looked straight at Qi Yun’s door, although he didn’t know why Qi Yun did not use this relationship, and instead enduring the humiliation and allowing these people to treat him so horribly. But Xing Zhongwan couldn’t not return the favor that Madam Qi gave his mother many years ago. What Qi Yun thought about Xing Zhongwan, he had no interest in knowing. He only wanted to make sure that Qi Yun lived more comfortably before he left so it could be regarded as repaying Madam Qi’s kindness from back then.

 

Xing Zhongwan stood up straight and exhaled. Forget it, there was no need to explain whether he was a man or a woman. They were just passerbys in each other’s lives. Qi Yun treated him like a woman, so he would act like a woman. It wasn’t as though he was his real fiancée, as if he’d really get married to him… 

 

Going back to his room, he carefully laid out the bedding and put it next to Qi Yun’s bed. In a daze, Qi Yun laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling without a word. Xing Zhongwan ignored him, took his pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. There was the sound of water from the bathroom and Qi Yun turned his head slightly, looking towards the direction of the bathroom before quickly turning back after a pause.

 

Why was an unmarried girl taking a shower in a man’s room? Qi Yun frowned, but her attitude wasn’t like any ordinary girl’s. After all, this girl was physically able and could pour herself a drink and drag herself to the bathroom.

 

She was a bit fierce…

 

Qi Yun’s snow-white neck was flushed. He closed his eyes tightly and a thought suddenly flashed into his mind. He was a blind man, and his lower body is still paralyzed…

 

She really had nothing to worry about.

 

The blush on Qi Yun’s neck gradually faded, returning to its usual indifference.

 

The bathroom door opened, and Xing Zhongwan came out with his whole body emanating steam. He wiped his hair and yawned every now and then.

 

“You haven’t slept yet? Do you want to go to the bathroom? I’ll help you go.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought Qi Yun wanted to go to the bathroom and threw the towel aside to help him up.

 

A faint pine wood scent rushed into the tip of his nose and Qi Yun stiffened, and let Xing Zhongwan supported himself. After entering the bathroom, Xing Zhongwan naturally pulled down Qi Yun’s loose pajamas. Qi Yun held Xing Zhongwan’s hand, and Xing Zhongwan froze for a while, “What is it? Um…Is it a number two? Let me help you sit down, I’ll support you.”

 

Qi Yun was stunned. He suddenly couldn’t understand this woman’s thought pathway. Before he could struggle to do it himself, the other had already come over and taken off his pants and rolled it down to his knees.

 

Xing Zhongwan bent over to support Qi Yun’s upper body and Qi Yun coughed awkwardly. Why were all his private matters that were supposed to be obscured, completely seen by this woman without any reservation at all.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s thoughts were not here at the moment. He looked at Qi Yun’s two thin and weak legs, and suddenly remembered how he looked when he came to Xing’s family to divorce.

 

With a straight silhouette, those pair of slender legs in western tuxedo’s black trousers looked very straight. He was born with a look that was envied as well as a coveted physique. Even the narcissist Xing Zhongwan back then had to admit that Qi Yun’s legs were really beautiful and made the mind of others wander. It’s just that now the two soft thighs didn’t look like they did in the past.

 

Xing Zhongwan sighed and Qi Yun became more and more embarrassed. Originally, he didn’t mean to go to the toilet. So he just sat on the toilet, but maybe because it was a conditioned reflex, he soon felt the need to go…

 

Qi Yun’s eyes turned slightly red, he didn’t want to do such a thing in front of Xing Zhongwan.

 

Maybe he noticed Qi Yun’s strange attitude, so Xing Zhongwan gave him a glance before he understood.

 

“Don’t hold it in, it’s not like there’s nothing I haven’t seen yet, if you still can’t poop it out, I’ll just hold my breath,” After that, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help himself and also laughed. He found Qi Yun quite funny. As long as he teased him, his neck would be red, because his skin was white, his redness was particularly obvious.

 

Xing Zhongwan bent over and was very close to Qi Yun and his breath flicked over Qi Yun’s ears, which made him feel ticklish. The chuckle inexplicably relieved Qi Yun of his tension. The laughter was nice and casual and it was as if they had known each other for a long time, as if what he was doing was just a normal thing.

 

After Qi Yun was done, Xing Zhongwan pulled some toilet paper out and put it in Qi Yun’s hand, deliberately asking, “Are you going to do it yourself, or should I?”

 

Qi Yun’s neck was red again, and Xing Zhongwan thought it was funny. I used to look at you coldly and didn’t expect to become so casual with you.

 

“I’ll turn my head and won’t look at you. You hurry up, okay.”

 

Xing Zhongwan really turned his head and heard the sound of rustling behind him, his mouth couldn’t help but curve a little. Being crippled also had the benefits of being a cripple. Such a helpless third young master Qi is a bit cute.

 

He helped Qi Yun back on the bed. When he helped him into bed, he accidentally knocked Qi Yun’s leg to the corner of the bed and Qi Yun frowned slightly. Xing Zhongwan looked down again. It was quite a sharp corner. Knocking it like this would definitely hurt.

 

Thinking of this, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but raise his brows. It seemed that Qi Yun’s legs were not without feeling.

 

At night, Xing Zhongwan lay on the ground, staring at the ceiling.

 

He turned to Qi Yun’s bed. The person on the bed was breathing shallowly and seemed to be asleep. Xing Zhongwan put his chin on his side.

 

Haiyuan’s Shen family and Qi Yun’s accident. Shen Qinghong couldn’t just ignore him, nor would he have let Qi Yun suffer here. Something must have happened in the middle.

 

And Qi Yun still has feeling in his legs, it’s not as if there was no hope at all.

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly, turned over and lay down, he had to take care of himself. Did he not see enough of the horrible things that occurred within the upper class circles?

 

What will Qi Yun do in the future? What does it have to do with him?

 

With a muffled hum, Qi Yun who was on the bed slowly opened his eyes and frowned little by little. Did he trouble her too much?

 

Qi Yun was caught off guard by the inexplicable panic growing inside him.

Chapter 10 –  You will receive karma, sooner or later

 

Xing Zhongwan drove the car back to Qi’s villa on the outskirts. He couldn’t see clearly in the rain. Xing Zhongwan opened the door and got out of the car. He was soaked in rain just walking the short distance from the car to the door. Xing Zhongwan quickly went up to the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, a gust of rain blew into his face. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but yawn. The hanging white curtains were soaked and drenched. Xing Zhongwan held back the swear word that had reached the back of his mouth, walked over, and closed the window. He wiped the rain off his face before he had time to observe Qi Yun on the bed.

 

The person on the bed had his eyes closed and the quilt was soaked. Xing Zhongwan was inexplicably angry. “You are not mute, so why won’t you call for someone to come and close the window for you?”

 

There was only his own voice in the room, and the one on the bed didn’t respond as if they had already fallen asleep. Xing Zhongwan sighed and paced back and forth in the room. What the fvck is this?

 

Xing Zhongwan, who did you just offend!

 

Qi Yun’s eyes moved slightly, and his eyelashes were quivering. Xing Zhongwan took a deep breath. He was getting angry at a disabled person. He turned on the air conditioner and pulled off the quilt from Qi Yun’s body. It was fortunate that the clothes inside weren’t soaked, but…

 

Xing Zhongwan took one look at Qi Yun’s trousers, and that fire was lit up once again, “Third young master Qi, you could at least ask someone to get you the urinal pot, you… I’m going to… I”

 

Qi Yun’s eyes trembled more severely, but he didn’t even open his eyes, nor did he speak. Xing Zhongwan’s surrendered. Yes, I’m afraid of you, third young master, Master Qi!

 

Xing Zhongwan resigned to his fate and went to the bathroom to get a washbasin and towel to wipe Qi Yun’s body and change his clothes. He went to the cabinet and took out a clean quilt. He also had to give him medicine. After he was done, more than an hour had passed.

 

Xing Zhongwan gasped, “You have not eaten either? I go out for a while, and you end up like this. You… I will get you something to eat.”

 

Xing Zhongwan ran downstairs and Qi Yun who was on the bed steadily opened his eyes. His body felt refreshed and the air conditioner was turned to a moderate temperature. There was still the scent of Xing Zhongwan’s body in the air, a very refreshing pine wood fragrance. Qi Yun blinked his eyes and his restless heart finally settled down after all afternoon.

 

After Xing Zhongwan left, Qi Yun briefly fell asleep and when he woke up, it was unusually quiet by his side. Qi Yun’s stomach was a little bloated, and he wanted to go to the toilet. With difficulty, he lowered his hand to get the urinal pot by the bed, but his weak body wouldn’t listen to him. For a long time, Qi Yun sweated profusely as his lower abdomen swelled. There were constant footsteps at the door of the room, as there was always someone outside. Qi Yun bit his molars and wanted to call someone. She seemed to have said that it took a lot of effort to change the sheets and quilts. He thought of how that person was so tired that she even fell asleep sitting next to him.

 

Qi Yun opened his mouth when the new caretakers’ voices suddenly came from the door.

 

“Hey, how long do you think the one in the house can live like a dead person?”

 

“It’s been so long, should we go in and see.” 

 

“Forget it, didn’t the housekeeper tell us to stop going in to look for trouble. The one inside can’t take care of himself. He’s going to be filthy, you’re willing to go in and take a look?” There was a roar of laughter.

 

“You said Miss Xing was really beautiful. Why did she come to serve such a useless person?”

 

“Hey, I heard that the two still have a marriage contract?”

 

“Oh it really a pity, I heard that the one inside’s ** is paralyzed. I bet that he won’t ever stand up again, even after they get married, it’ll just be like living as a widow, it really is a pity.”

 

“Hey, you need to talk less. Be careful, the one inside can hear you.”

 

“What’s the matter? What about the Qi family? Nowadays, there’s no one that doesn’t know that the most favored person in the Qi family is the fourth young master Qi and that the one inside there is a fart.”

 

“It’s a pity that Miss Xing… would be living with such a useless person for a lifetime.”

 

Qi Yun clenched the bed sheet tightly with both hands and closed his eyes. His shoulders trembled pitifully. A damp heat slowly spread from his lower half, and a familiar smell filled the whole room.

 

In the evening, the old housekeeper came to feed him but Qi Yun did not eat. The old housekeeper carried the bowl and went out without saying a word. Qi Yun’s face was facing out, towards the window. She has yet to return… 

 

It was raining and the wind was very strong. The cold rain hit Qi Yun’s face, Qi Yun opened his eyes indifferently. There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside his door, of doors and windows outside being closed. The sounds slowly became more sparse, but in the end no one opened his door.

 

Qi Yun faced the doorway and tried his best to support his neck, but the familiar voice still didn’t appear.

 

Did she already leave…

 

It’s a pity that the servant’s words echoed in Qi Yun’s mind.

 

Miss Xing was so beautiful but she had to take care of a cripple.

 

A useless cripple… Qi Yun’s mouth curled into a twisted arc. The strong wind dispelled the smell of the room, but it couldn’t hide the fact that Qi Yun was a cripple.

 

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and dropped them down heavily on his leg as he closed his eyes in despair.

 

If you leave, don’t come back again…

 

Xing Zhongwan spent a long time in the kitchen looking around. He cooked a small green vegetable dish and minced meat porridge. After seeing some pickled vegetables in the kitchen, he grabbed some to stir-fry.

 

In fact, judging from his looks, one wouldn’t be able to tell that he can cook at all. It was all thanks to his mother. Xing Zhongwan’s mother was bedridden for many years and Xing Zhong learned to cook for his mother in the kitchen at a young age. After his mother departed, Xing Zhongwan seldom entered the kitchen. He didn’t expect that it would be because of Qi Yun that he stepped into the kitchen again.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at the hot porridge on the stove and waved the wooden spoon around gently. It was supposed to be a good night to roll in the sheets with the woman he fancied, but now he was standing in the kitchen cooking porridge. Annoyed, Xing Zhongwan almost flung the spoon in his hand into the pot.

 

Before leaving the country, his mother brought Xing Zhongwan to the Qi’s estate while carrying some pastries she made by herself. His mother was a wise man who wanted to see Mrs. Qi before leaving. But how would the Qi family be so easy to enter, not to mention seeing Qi Zongcheng’s wife. He and his mother were stopped at the Qi family’s gate. The guards of the Qi family looked at them like two dirty mice who dared to meet the Madam and didn’t even look at their identity.

 

His mother coughed every time the cold wind blew, Xing Zhongwan pulled his mother’s sleeves to persuade her to go home, but his mother refused, wanting to wait a little longer.

 

Xing Zhongwan trembled as he had to hold her hand as the wind howled, until a familiar-looking teenager came out from the side door of the Qi’s estate.

 

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he appeared just like a fairy, not like a mortal at all, and walked towards them coolly.

 

“Grandma was not feeling well, so it’s not convenient for her to come out. Instead, I can relay your message for you.”

 

His mother smiled apologetically and handed the pastries in her hands to the teen, ” A small gift, I made it myself.”

 

After hesitating for a while, he took it, “Thank you, Madam.”

 

Little Xing Zhongwan’s nose was red from the cold. He looked at the beautiful sister right in front of him, the big sister seemed to grow taller and more beautiful.

 

Xing Zhongwan tugged at his small mouth foolishly as he looked at the teenager, the teenager turned his head displeasedly, “What are you looking at me for?”

 

Xing Zhongwan sniffed, “Sister, you’re so good-looking. After I’ve grown up. Will you marry me?”

 

His mother was shocked and hurriedly apologized, pulling Xing Zhongwan and leaving. Xing Zhongwan reluctantly turned his head and saw that the teenager threw the pastry made by his mother into the trash can near the entrance.

 

A burning smell rushed up Xing Zhongwan’s forehead, “Oh shit!”

 

Xing Zhongwan quickly turned off the fire, looked at the burning porridge, and couldn’t help but look up at the sky. Back then, he was so damn fascinated by the beauty. Turns out the pretty fairy-looking big sister was actually a cold, stinky ruthless man!

 

Xing Zhongwan carried the porridge upstairs and sat next to Qi Yun, “I just accidentally burnt it a little. I took out the top so it won’t taste too bad.”

 

He sat up with Qi Yun and started to feed him. During the meal, Qi Yun was very cooperative this time, and a bowl of porridge was finished in a short time. Xing Zhongwan looked at his watch, it was getting late. He was going to go back to his room to get a quilt and sleep on the floor, but as his butt left the chair, Qi Yun suddenly opened his mouth, “Where are you going?”

 

Xing Zhongwan paused on his feet, he stayed standing up without moving. He really saw a ghost¹ an expression used to show extreme shock. Usually used after seeing something unusual or not very likely to happen today. Unexpectedly, Qi Yun took the initiative to talk to him today.

 

“I called them, but they won’t come in.”

 

After a pause, Qi Yun turned his face slightly, “I don’t want anyone to see my body.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought for a long time before he came back to his senses, he was answering his previous questions.

 

Xing Zhongwan said, “Then why can I look at your body?”

 

Qi Yun’s neck turned red, followed by his ears. His thin and conspicuous Adam’s apple moved uneasily as he gulped down his saliva.

 

There was a moment of silence, and Xing Zhongwan felt that he had asked this question out of the blue.

 

He turned around to go out to get the quilt, when the corner of his clothes was suddenly caught. Xing Zhongwan turned around in confusion, Qi Yun, it never ends with you.

 

The person on the bed had his head lowered, and his clothes are so big that you can clearly see the prominent spine just below the back of husneck.

 

“Girls shouldn’t go out at night, it’s not safe.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned. Girl!? Who? Which one? Where are there girls?

 

Looking back at Qi Yun’s neck, which was about to become ripened² So red, that it looks like fruit when ripe… aka bright in colour , he finally understood the saying,  “You will receive karma, sooner or later”. Back then, that was rude of him to think of Qi Yun as a girl, but who made him look too beautiful? At fifteen or sixteen years of age, one’s sex maybe still be indistinguishable so he could still be forgiven for misunderstanding.

 

But with Laozi’s voice, and this physique, how can you mistake me for a woman!?

 

Xing Zhongwan felt depressed…

 

---

T/N: Er… it’s just a small misunderstanding waifie! Don’t worry, even when Qi Yun finds out you’re a man, he’ll stil love you, ‘cos gender doesn’t matter in true love… right? owo
