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 🙂

tho can’t relate, have no friends kek ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)

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.

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.

Looks like Qi Yun’s getting a bit more self-conscious and shy around his waifie nowadays. What a good development hehe, yeah, you better watch out! If you scare your Wanwan too much, he might really run away owo! On to the next chapter!!

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.

T/N: Yah Qi Yun, you better start to panic if you thinking about keeping your waifie >:)
Anyways, I promised a mass update so seeya in the next chapter! Also don’t forget to take care of yourself and maybe rehydrate, drink a glass of that yummy, yummy water y’know? Not only does it keep your skin moisturized, it can prevent your lips from turning crusty like this grandmama (me) here…  ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡

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

 

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! On to the next one then~

Chapter 9 – Qi Yun, I am going to turn into a monk because of you!

 

Qi Yun knew that the Xing family wanted to send Xing Zhongjie to take care of him. He also knew Xing Zhongjie well, she was his former fiancee. When the old Xing family was still prosperous in the early years, there was no need to say more about the illustrious Xing family. Qi Yun’s grandfather wanted to win over the Xing family, he personally asked for Xing Zhongjie, hand in marriage.

 

Since he was a child, Qi Yun knew that he would have no control over whomst he married. His only thought about his future wife was for the exchange of interests. So when his grandfather asked him to marry Xing Zhongjie, Qi Yun didn’t think too much. Xing Zhongjie was just for him to keep up with appearances only.

 

He still had some vague recollections of Xing Zhongjie. It’s not that she wasn’t pretty. She was considered to be the best in the circle. Qi Yun just inexplicably didn’t like her. When they first met, there was a familiar look in her eyes. It was the kind of gaze filled with scrutiny. Calculating and working out how much one could gain and the best way to achieve and optimize such gain.

 

Qi Yun looked at her coldly. She was a very utilitarian woman. She loved her own appearance and loved the Qi family standing behind her even more.

 

It’s just that this marriage contract didn’t last long. After Master Xing’s death, the Xing family quickly declined, and the Xing family gradually lost its original power. When he came to divorce, Xing Zhongjie cried prettily and pitifully, even pulling at his sleeves so that he would not abandon her. Qi Yun looked down at his torn cuffs while thinking that these tears seemed a little fake. This woman’s somewhat clumsy acting skills were like a joke in Qi Yun’s eyes.

 

Sure enough, within a week of the two’s dissolution of their marriage, Xing Zhongjie was photographed being paired up in a speed-dating event. At that time, his grandfather had already found another “right” person for him.

 

So when Qi Yun knew that Xing Zhongjie was coming, he was full of disgust. It was inconceivable that a person like Xing Zhengping would send his only daughter to take care of him, unless he made some underhanded deal with the Qi family. 

 

Remembering Xing Zhongjie’s eyes full of desire for the inheritance, he really didn’t believe that she would take care of a cripple like himself.

 

It’s just that things are a little different from what he thought. Xing Zhongjie that came here was extremely quiet. It was so quiet that it was as if there was no such person in this house at all.

 

Until that day she poured him a glass of water. Even without listening to her voice, Qi Yun knew that this person was definitely not Xing Zhongjie.

 

The slightly deep voice was not like an ordinary woman’s, but the old housekeeper called her Miss Xing. He didn’t know that the Xing family actually had another daughter, but this person is definitely not Xing Zhongjie, then who was she?

 

Qi Yun recovered from his thoughts. There was no one in his room. Xing Zhongwan went back to change his clothes and he has not returned yet. Qi Yun, who was already used to being alone, suddenly felt a little lonely.

 

Scared by his own ridiculous thoughts, Qi Yun forced himself to draw out his thoughts. Why did the Xing family send this woman here? The Xing family must have made some kind of deal with the Qi family, and the person that had carried out the deal didn’t seem to be his grandfather. Qi Yun knew his grandfather’s personality too well. Once he’s determined that this person was useless, he won’t even have an ounce of care in his heart, then …was it his own mother?

 

Qi Yun was a little confused. His car accident was not an accident. Someone in the Qi family had wanted to harm him. Although his mother has lost all hope for him, she was still his son after all. She will not watch Qi Yun die, but it is absolutely inconceivable to think that she still wanted to take care of him herself. The old housekeeper was sent under her, but she left him hanging, only half-heartedly caring for him.

 

But his mother also wanted to keep her good reputation, and even if the eldest son was crippled, she had to act and maintain the image of a kind mother.

 

Qi Yun sneered. This was his relative, who had very close blood ties with him but was doing the cruelest thing in the world.

 

He thought of the woman who has been taking care of him these days. Her name was Wanwan, it is a nice name. She was quite tall and Qi Yun felt that she should not be much shorter than his previous self. She was very slender. Qi Yun inevitably touched her chest when she was supporting him. They were…flat…

 

A tall and slender woman called Wanwan…

 

Once again, Qi Yun was frightened by his own thoughts. What was he doing thinking about this? What did that woman have anything to do with him?

 

Qi Yun shut his eyes heavily, there was still the leftover sweetness of beef soup in his mouth, and her cooking was not bad…

 

Xing Zhongwan took a bath and changed his clothes. He felt really exhausted physically and mentally. He tossed the dirty clothes into the laundry basket and went downstairs to the kitchen to eat some leftover beef soup. Seeing that it was too late to take a nap, Xing Zhongwan decided to go out for a drive.

 

He went upstairs to change his clothes again before taking his car key and going out. The old housekeeper stood by the door and stared at him with a dull but sharp gaze. Xing Zhongwan whistled at her, “Staying in a happy mood is good for your health. Don’t keep a sullen face unless you want to get older quicker. Qi Yun should have already fallen asleep. Let me go out. It won’t violate our agreement.” 

 

The old housekeeper snorted coldly and went upstairs.

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t want to say anything to her. He went out and got into his car and started the engine. Xing Zhongwan opened the window and lifted his head to look up at the windows on the third floor. The weather was very good today. The windows were open as the white curtains swayed with the wind. The wind blew and Xing Zhongwan thought it was funny, Xing Zhongwan ah, Xing Zhongwan, just when did you become such a fussy mother-in-law.

 

Once I step on the accelerator, I must go around town and let loose.

 

Xing Zhongwan went to the mall with the thick envelope in his hand. He won’t have to leave any unused, everything must be spent by today. An hour later, Xing Zhongwan’s hands were full carrying shopping bags and when he came out of the counter, he cast a wink at the young lady behind the counter, and she almost went weak in the knees.

 

Xing Zhongwan shook his cell phone. He didn’t know how many women’s contact information he had added during this time. He has been a vegetarian¹ Doesn’t refer to plant-based diet. The ‘meat’ he hasn’t had for a long time refers to sex. for a long time since returning to China… He wondered if he could find someone to meet up with tonight.

 

Suddenly, the man who was paralyzed on the bed flashed across his mind. Xing Zhongwan thought that Qi Yun had survived so long without him, and it should be no problem not to go back all night.

 

Tossing shopping bags and humming all the way, he didn’t know how many men and women were watching him in secret. Xing Zhongwan had long gotten used to it. He knew how likable his own face was.

 

Xing Zhongwan booked a hotel, and found a woman who seemed decent from his phone contacts to meet up with.

 

Xing Zhongwan took a bath, wrapped his lower body in a bath towel, and opened a bottle of red wine. The water droplets slowly flowed down along the slender and white neck to his prominent chest, flowing through the beautifully shaped abdominal muscles before finally sliding down into the shadow of a bulge looming inside the bath towel.

 

The doorbell rang, and Xing Zhongwan stretched out his red tongue, tasted the red wine dripping from his lips, and made his move…

 

It’s just… despite everything being ready, and the mood was heavy. Xing Zhongwan was about to put his gun inside when thunder flashed by the floor-to-ceiling-high windows and the rain hit the glass heavily. Xing Zhongwan violently pushed aside the woman under him. Was the window in Qi Yun’s room open?

 

Xing Zhongwan got up and put on his clothes, and the woman under him pestered him with some dissatisfaction. Xing Zhongwan smiled at her but was a little bored in his heart. He took out a box from a shopping bag and threw it over. The woman opened it and her eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief. The watch inside was worth a few years of her salary.

 

Xing Zhongwan carried the shopping bags out of the room and did not forget to turn around before saying, “I have already paid for the room. Next time we have the opportunity, let’s meet up again, goodbye!” The woman fawned at Xing Zhongwan. Where else could I find such a good one-night stand?

 

Xing Zhongwan closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared, and stepped up the elevator. The window was very close to Qi Yun’s bed. He wondered if the old woman had closed the window.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at himself in the elevator mirror and his eyes were filled with suppressed desire that screamed dissatisfaction. The scratch on his face had not faded either.

 

He cursed in a low voice, Qi Yun, I am going to turn into a monk because of you!

Chapter 8 – Turns out your name is Wanwan

 

Xing Zhongwan is also a strange person. Although he was born in a wealthy circle, he had no good opinion of the people in that circle. When he and his mother were driven out by Xing Zhengping’s ploy, his grandfather had already passed away. Even among those socialite women that often saw her mother on the weekdays and were closer to her, no one came out to speak up for her. His mother didn’t want to leave the Xing family. Although Xing Zhongwan still didn’t understand why his mother was so persistent, what kind of nostalgia was there to have had about the Xing family that ate people up and did not leave even the bones.

 

Before being kicked out of the country, his mother fell ill. He doesn’t know what Xing Zhengping did but there was no established hospital that was willing to admit his mother. There was nowhere to go. The young Xing Zhongwan knelt at the entrance of the hospital with his mother in his arms, feeling at a loss.

 

He thought that maybe he and his mother would die in front of the hospital. But God made them a path and the kind-looking madam who appeared at his grandfather’s funeral helped him and his mother.

 

Qi Yun felt that he must have heard it wrong and turned his head blankly. His eyes could not see and he could only judge where the speaker was by the direction of his voice.

 

Xing Zhongwan sat upright, enduring the aches and pains all over, “Answer me first, are you able to control your urination or defecation?”

 

Qi Yun had a sullen look on his face and did not speak. Xing Zhongwan had expected this situation already. He was in no rush, slowly, he spoke.

 

“If you can control it, it will be easy. I will move into your room today. Call me if you need anything. If you can’t, then I have to put on the adult diapers for you. Every time you poop, I’ll have to change it right after, and that’ll really kill me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said while observing Qi Yun’s expression. He found that his ears were a little red.

 

“You better tell me the truth, your skin is so blistered that it is really not suitable for wearing that stuff. “

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun quietly, he wasn’t going to press on, this kind of thing couldn’t be forced. After a long time, Qi Yun said, “There’s no need to wear it.”

 

His voice was hoarse and harsh, and Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help rubbing his ears.

 

“Then alright, you can rest easy and eat. If you need anything, I’ll be here.” 

 

I took a look around on Thursday and there really was a urinal pot.

 

After yawning, Xing Zhongwan picked up the bowl and started to feed him again. Qi Yun still had his mouth closed.

 

Xing Zhongwan said impatiently, “Are you still a kid? Please, I have been tossed ¹ bothered by by you all night and haven’t slept a wink. I’m very tired right now. Can you eat it quickly and let me rest?”

 

Qi Yun’s eyes dropped down. Those long eyelashes fell on the pale skin, and it seemed even a gentle breeze could make his entire person float away.

 

Why did it feel like I’m bullying you? Xing Zhongwan was crying without tears, the one who should be crying and depressed should be me, no? 

 

Qi Yun opened his mouth and ate the beef soup. The sweet taste of beef spread in his mouth and his stomach became more comfortable. Even his heart was not as empty anymore.

 

After eating the porridge, Xing Zhongwan didn’t have much energy to clean up, so he casually put the bowl on the chair and blinked his eyes open for a bit.

 

Seeing that the person near him didn’t make a sound for a long time, Qi Yun turned his head in confusion. After a while, he heard the sound of deep breathing. Was he asleep?

 

Qi Yun turned his head, the sight beyond him was pitch black and his weak waist was sandwiched between the pillows he half-sat up on. It had been a long time since he had sat up for such a long time.

 

Did the person beside him not eat yet? Qi Yun was taken aback by his thoughts and couldn’t help coughing.

 

In a daze, Xing Zhongwan said, “If you want to go to the bathroom, remember to call me.”

 

After that, he went back to sleep.

 

Qi Yun’s ears were a little hot, he moved his upper body helplessly and finally looked in the direction of his breathing.

 

Xing Zhongwan had another dream. In the dream, the kind madam arranged for his mother to go to the hospital. The little Xing Zhongwan was still worried that they would implicate her and cause her trouble.

 

The madam touched his little head, “Such a sensible child. You can live with peace of mind, no one will come to trouble you.”

 

“Come Yun’er, take this little brother to go out and have fun.”

 

The youth beside the older lady walked towards Xing Zhongwan and held his hand. Xing Zhongwan raised his head and looked at him, “Big sister, you’re very beautiful.”

 

The young man frowned and threw away his hand. The madam beside him was a little unhappy, “Yun’er, you can’t be rude.” The madam smiled and said to Xing Zhongwan, “He has a bad temper, did he scare you?”

 

Xing Zhongwan shook his head. He just thinks that this elder sister is good-looking and has a nice name. Yun’er…did it not sound like a fairy’s name?

 

“Madam, when I grow up, I will marry a beautiful wife who is as beautiful as elder sister.”

 

The young man’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the madam burst out laughing.

 

After that day, Xing Zhongwan never saw the madam and the beautiful sister who stayed by his side. After his mother got better and was discharged from the hospital, she decided to go abroad. Before they left, his mother told him that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he must repay Madam Qi. But later, he told himself that people like them probably didn’t need any help from them.

 

“Wanwan, we received others’ kindness. Mom won’t have any chance to repay them, but I want you to remember who it was that saved us, mother and son’s lives.”

 

This was the only thing his mother thought about before she died, other than wanting to go back to the Xing family.

 

Xing Zhongwan was awakened by the sound of a heavy object falling. He opened his eyes to see that Qi Yun’s entire self had fallen onto the ground. Xing Zhongwan thought, mother, you really foresaw all this huh? Now your son is here to pick up the poop and clean the piss to return their kindness.

 

Xing Zhongwan got up and helped Qi Yun up, “What now? Didn’t I ask you to call me? Want to go to the bathroom?”

 

Qi Yun went stiff and his face turned pale. After he fell down, his elbow hurt really bad. He wanted to get the urinal pot beside the bed, but accidentally fell down after a moment of carelessness.

 

Xing Zhongwan helped him to the bed and grabbed the urine bottle. As he started to undo Qi Yun’s pants, Qi Yun turned his face away in embarrassment. Xing Zhongwan was speechless. We’re all grown men here, what are you shy about? Taking out Qi Yun’s ‘thing’, he took a look and the color looked pretty good.

 

Previously, Xing Zhongwan didn’t take a closer look. It was the afternoon when there was plenty of light, and even if Xing Zhongwan didn’t want to see it, he had no choice but to do so. He still couldn’t help thinking, Qi Yun definitely didn’t have any women before, but no matter how he thought about that cool and elusive exterior, he couldn’t imagine what he would be like in bed.

 

After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t see any pee come out of Qi Yun, and his face was flushed. Holding back an ounce of tolerance, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but ask, “Can’t pee?”

 

Qi Yun lowered his eyes and his forehead was slightly sweaty. Xing Zhongwan noticed it, Qi Yun would lower his eyes whenever he felt uncomfortable.

 

“Will it be better to stand up? I’ll help you walk to the bathroom.”

 

Qi Yun clenched his teeth, his face was getting redder.

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t wait for him to answer and stooped down to help him stand up. Qi Yun’s two legs hung limply on the ground, it was of no use at all. Xing Zhongwan used a great amount of effort and dragged him to the bathroom. He then let the other lean on himself as he undid Qi Yun’s pants, and took out his **. “Relax.”

 

Qi Yun closed his eyes, his eyes were flushed and Xing Zhongwan was struggling, “Please hurry up, you’re very heavy.” After he let go of the thing in his hands, he rubbed Qi Yun’s lower abdomen. Qi Yun’s body shook a bit. Pitter patter went the discontinuous stream of pee as it  splashed all over Xing Zhongwan.

 

Xing Zhongwan watched his own trousers turn black. He pulled Qi Yun’s trousers up and dragged him back to the bed. Turning around, he wanted to go back and change his pants.

 

“Who are you?”

 

The man on the bed suddenly spoke, and Xing Zhongwan turned his head in surprise.

 

Qi Yun opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly, “Are you not Xing Zhongjie? Who are you?”

 

Xing Zhongwan scratched his hair, circling around thousands of bends in his mind for some time, thinking about making up a name.

 

“Wan…” Xing Zhongwan thought for a long time, “Wan…” Wan who..?

 

“Wanwan?” Qi Yun repeated the name.

 

Xing Zhongwan: Ah!?

 

“So your name is Wanwan.”

 

Qi Yun’s hoarse voice hit Xing Zhongwan’s head like a brick, hey, no, the gentleman on the bed, just wait a minute.

 

This was the nickname that his mother would call him by. How could it sound so strange when it came out of Qi Yun’s mouth?

 

Xing Zhongwan wanted to explain himself but Qi Yun had already closed his eyes and stopped talking.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt something was wrong, Qi Yun, did you misunderstand something…

 

---

T/N: Owo Qi Yun, did you misunderstand something…?

What should Xing Zhongwan do next?

A) Keep quiet. He’ll only be here for awhile, then he’s leaving as soon as Qi Yun is up and running.

B) Laugh it off. (Menancingly and yes, in his real, bonafide male, super-deep, baritone, definitely not feminine voice)

C) Shout: “I’m a real, bonafide man!” and then proceed to grab Qi Yun’s hand and pull it towards a place that grows what a man can only have.

D) Stare at the poor blind, paralyzed man in disbelief and pity. Then proceed to have a long, hard  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  discussion with him about the differences between birds and bees, male and female and so on.

Chapter 7 – Qi Yun, I must have owed you a lot of money in my previous life!

 

Xing Zhongwan took off his coat, went into the bathroom, took a clean towel and a wash basin filled with warm water, and walked to Qi Yun’s bed under the surprised eyes of the old housekeeper.

 

Xing Zhongwan was in a bad mood and didn’t feel like being polite with her, “If you don’t want to help, get out and close the door on your way too!”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s tone was terrible, and the old housekeeper’s face turned pale. After looking at him for a bit, she finally left and closed the door.

 

Xing Zhongwan took a deep breath and turned to take off Qi Yun’s pants. Unexpectedly, before Xing Zhongwan could start, Qi Yun’s thin pair of hands had already gripped his own waistband tightly.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt funny, “What are you doing? I don’t know why you thought of yourself as some virgin young maiden. Besides, I’ve already seen it before, what’s there to be embarrassed about?. Even I don’t feel the need to be disgusted by this, yet you feel disgusted by me?”

 

He grabbed Qi Yun’s hand, it was so cold that it was frightening. Qi Yun’s body was trembling slightly. His face turned sideways as his whole face went pale. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t see how humiliated he looked nor did he know what the other thought he was going to do with him.

 

“Qi Yun, you have to face the reality, you have driven away all the caregivers. Do you really want to lay in… this?. It’s normal for you to be unable to take care of yourself in your current situation, but you won’t let others touch you. That’s alright, you have some self-respect and I can understand it. But let me tell you the truth, what’s the use of your self-respect now? Will you just let your wound become infected again? People have to learn to lower their heads at the right time. Your excessive pride will not bring you any benefit. In the eyes of others, it’s just a needless struggle. Nothing more than a joke. “

 

Xing Zhongwan threw the towel in his hand into the basin, “What do you want to do, You can figure it out yourself!” “

 

Xing Zhongwan was so pissed off, and the unspeakable smell in the claustrophobic space was getting stronger and stronger.

 

Some time passed before Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly and got up. He wanted to leave. In the first place, he was not a good person. This was the breaking point, and he didn’t have the time to spend it with the bad-tempered cripple lying on the bed. It’s not a big deal if nothing’s going to change after he’s come all this way. Looks like he’ll just have to think of another way to solve that issue regarding his mother. He can’t afford to stay idle.

 

Xing Zhongwan thought he understood the other. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw Qi Yun remove his trembling hand. Xing Zhongwan was stunned, yes, he could not leave now.

 

Xing Zhongwan untied Qi Yun’s pants, replaced the soiled apparel, and wrung out the towel. Bit by bit, his lower body was wiped clean. During this time, Xing Zhongwan glanced up at Qi Yun who closed his eyes tightly. He could see blood stains from where he bit into his own lips. At this time, Xing Zhongwan did not feel the same anger as he did in the beginning. He also understood Qi Yun’s prideful self, how honorable his status actually was. He had been held in high esteem by many others ever since he was a child. Now, his crippled self only brought him humiliation.

 

Xing Zhongwan shouldn’t overdo it either, everyone has their own life and he really wasn’t going to bother too much with the other things.

 

After thoroughly cleaning Qi Yun, Xing Zhongwan applied medicine to him and opened the windows to allow for better ventilation. Some air freshener was also sprayed. After a while, the whole room felt more fresh.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun. The man returned to his indifferent expression again, and his gaze was pointed straight to the ceiling.

 

“I’ll go downstairs to get something to eat. I will bring it to you later. Rest up.” Xing Zhongwan finished speaking and walked out of the bedroom.

 

The moment the door closed, Qi Yun’s eyes blinked, his eyeballs were slightly red.

 

When Qi Yun had just gotten injured, his body had not atrophied that much. Although there were wounds on his body after surgery, the young man’s body was still amazingly beautiful. 

 

In the beginning, the young nurses were very diligent in taking care of him and Qi Yun did not resist being touched by others as much as he did now.

 

Later, the nurses were slowly replaced by new ones. When these people touched his body, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qi Yun became disgusted. Batch after batch, the nurses were changed and later the Qi family became more and more neglectful, and the quality of the nurses they hired became worse and worse. The discussions about Qi Yun’s body and the teasing that were supposedly kept in private didn’t go unheard. The ill will and disgust in their tone of voice made Qi Yun nauseous. He began to resist being touched by others, and the attitude of the caregivers towards him became worse and worse and situations like today often happen. It was common for him to lie on dirty sheets for days and no one would pay any mind. Most of the time, it would be the old housekeeper who came in to feed him. Then when the stench became unbearable, she would force the nurses to come in and clean up.

 

Qi Yun was like a piece of pork that had long spoilt after being turned over again and again by others. It wasn’t as though he had completely lost the ability to feel in his lower body. Qi Yun could feel the rough movements, and them wiping him down felt like they were scraping away at a dead fish.

 

Qi Yun is prideful, but Xing Zhongwan said he had to face reality. He accepted his reality long ago, from the moment the doctor deemed his legs and eyes useless. But the pride he grew up with made him want to retain a little bit of dignity.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s words just now broke that last bit of his dignity.

 

Xing Zhongwan changed his clothes and scrubbed him off with gentle movements. He heard the slight gasp of the people around him. It took a lot of effort to hoist and maneuver a person whose lower body is paralysed. He often hears complaints from the nurses. But Xing Zhongwan didn’t do that, and he cleaned him up without saying a word. Lying on the bed, Qi Yun felt the dirty air in the room dissipate little by little, and the air freshener smelling of sea salt filled the whole room. For the first time, Qi Yun felt respected.

 

Qi Yun stared at the ceiling, and he suddenly became a little curious about the person next to him.

 

Xing Zhongwan was cooking soup in the kitchen, and he only slept for a few hours in the morning so his head felt dizzy. After another physical exertion, Xing Zhongwan knew without a second thought that he must look very haggard. There must be dark circles around the eyes of his baby face now.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt that he was overstepping his boundaries and just looking for trouble.

 

The beefy scent wafted into the open and Xing Zhongwan took a sip. It didn’t taste too bad. He turned off the fire. The old housekeeper stood behind him and Xing Zhongwan was taken aback. “Is it a habit of yours to stand behind others and scare people?” The old housekeeper was calm, “I didn’t expect Miss Xing to really care about the third young master.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was also blunt, everyone is sensible, and there is no need to talk in circles.

 

“I don’t care. In any case, should I just watch him die? I have to protect myself. The Xing family sent me here just to make me a cannon fodder¹ a pawn to be sacrificed or used by someone else to gain the upper hand . I’m not stupid. Old lady, you are here, I don’t know what sort of benefit you’ll get from being here but we’re here for the same reason, that we can’t watch the third young master Qi die. Since our purpose is the same, let’s go on playing our roles without interfering with each other. You are still the old housekeeper, and I am still Miss Xing.” 

 

The old housekeeper’s haggard face was expressionless, and there was some guard in her eyes. Xing Zhongwan filled a bowl of soup and waved it in front of her, “Relax, it’s not poisoned.” He snorted coldly, before turning to leave the room.

 

The old housekeeper’s face was livid, as she looked at Xing Zhongwan’s back, lost in thought.

 

Xing Zhongwan went upstairs carrying a bowl. He walked to Qi Yun’s bed and pulled out a chair.

 

“It’s beef soup today, I already tried it and it tastes okay.”

 

Xing Zhongwan bent over to help Qi Yun up, supporting his body upright with a pillow. This time Qi Yun didn’t resist. Xing Zhongwan breathed out a sigh of relief.

 

He scooped a spoonful of soup and placed it in front of Qi Yun’s mouth, Qi Yun opened his mouth and ate it. Xing Zhongwan felt that he would be able to take a quick nap today.

 

But… Qi Yun refused to eat after taking two mouthfuls.

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Did it taste bad? That’s not right, it still tasted alright.

 

“Does it taste bad?” Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help asking.

 

After some time, Qi Yun turned his head away slightly.

 

Xing Zhongwan was surprised, “Why aren’t you eating?” 

 

The pin-shaped² he’s so skinny, that his ribs and hip bones jut out while his stomach is concaved inwards… like a pin in a bowling alley… my poor baby 🙁 man held the sheets under him tightly with his hands. Xing Zhongwan was stunned, and suddenly a strange thought flashed into his mind.

 

“Are you afraid of eating too much because going to the bathroom would be inconvenient?”

 

Qi Yun’s face turned away a little, and his upper body was visibly shaking. This Qi Yun looked inexplicably fragile in Xing Zhongwan’s eyes.

 

Xing Zhongwan held his forehead, it seemed like he really owed something to the Qi family, no, to Qi Yun.

 

He scooped a spoonful of soup again, “It’s not a problem, I’ll help you!”

Chapter 6- He’s really f/cked now!

 

Qi Yun was surprised. His heart, which he thought had withered up from despair, rippled a little in surprise. He originally thought that Xing Zhongwan would not come back again. He had already rejected this person twice. He thought that…he was now a useless cripple. In the past, others approached him because of his appearance and power. Now he was in a state of embarrassment and physically-incapable. Even I feel nauseous when I look at myself. Why was this person being nice to me over and over again? There was nothing in him that anyone could seek to gain.

 

He even said he looked down on me. Before, if anyone had dared to speak to him like this, there won’t even be any bones left of them to find.

 

The former third young master, Qi was not a good person, but the current third young master Qi has become a useless person. Strangely, Qi Yun’s heart was not as unsettled as before. Perhaps he felt that all this was too absurd. He didn’t understand why this person would treat him this way.

 

In fact, Qi Yun made too many presumptions. Xing Zhongwan’s thought process was very simple. Since he needed to stay with Qi Yun for a while, why not make him as seductive and as good-looking as he used to be. Who didn’t like beautiful things, it was better than facing a skeleton all day long. Plus, seeing a haughty person getting better with his own hands will give him a sense of accomplishment. His life here will also not be as boring.

 

Neither person could guess each other’s thoughts. The hand Xing Zhongwan had been holding out was sore. When he decided to give up and retract it, Qi Yun opened his mouth and swallowed the spoonful of porridge.

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “Isn’t this better? Don’t make it difficult for your own body, alright.”

 

Taking another bite, Qi Yun swallowed silently. It was undeniable that the porridge in this person’s hand was much better than what he had eaten before.

 

After feeding a few mouthfuls, Xing Zhongwan stopped, “Can you hold the bowl by yourself? Can you eat it on your own?”

 

Qi Yun was stunned. After a while, there was a lukewarm thing placed into his hand, it was a bowl. Qi Yun felt a little unsteady. He hadn’t held a bowl in a long time. He tried to put some force into it to pick it up, but his fingers didn’t listen to him. The bowl was turned over and the porridge all landed on the quilt.

 

There was a sense of self-hatred in Qi Yun, and the feeling of powerlessness in his heart was like his weak waist. Qi Yun was very angry, mad at why he was made to hold the bowl, and that he had lost face¹ suffer a shameful loss on the exterior image in front of a stranger.

 

Realizing this, Qi Yun’s heart was startled. Face? ² exterior image that he once took pride in  Did he still own such a thing?

 

There was no complaint or ridicule like he thought he might receive. Only the sound of footsteps entered his ears as the quilt on his body was lifted and replaced with a clean one.

 

After a period of hustling around, Xing Zhongwan filled another bowl of porridge that was kept warm by the rice cooker in the kitchen downstairs and returned to Qi Yun’s side. “It’s normal to have no strength after a long time. Your upper body isn’t useless. I’ll feed you first this time, then when you have the strength, you can hold the bowl and eat it yourself.”

 

Qi Yun whiffed the faintly fragrant porridge that was brought to his mouth as the doubts in his heart deepened. Just what could you stand to gain from me?

 

It was almost dawn when Xing Zhongwan returned to his room. He checked the time and dialed up a video call. The call was quickly connected, and there was a beautiful woman’s face on screen. Her face was really, really beautiful, but the words that came out of her mouth did not match her face at all.

 

“Laoxing³ like laozi, but with more specificity to Xing Zhongwan as it is literally Lao (adds seniority) + Xing (his name) , you finally took the initiative to contact me. When will you come back? Laoniang is close to dying from exhaustion. I am working with three people at once. I am not some cow⁴ hardworking animal, like sweatshop worker . I can’t bear this suffering. Come back quickly. Without Xing in my life, I’ll soon cry to death. “

 

Xing Zhongwan dug his ear, “Speak normally.”

 

The person in the video immediately sat up, and despite it being obviously a woman’s face, a deep voice much like a man’s spoke out instead.

 

“I said that if you’re now addicted to pretending to be Xing Zhongjie in the country, and don’t  come back soon, I tell you, just continuing to squeeze me up, overloading me with work like this, I am going to quit!”

 

 Xing Zhongwan lazily laid on the bed, “My mother’s grave hasn’t been returned yet. I have to wait until my mother’s affairs are finalized before I can leave. Plus, it seems like you can’t revert back to wearing men’s clothes now, you transvestite!”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe laughed coldly, “Is it your business? I’ll wear what I like to wear. Hey, it’s not as if you won’t be able to leave in the end right? What kind of joy can you even derive from waiting on that paralyzed third young master Qi?”

 

Xing Zhongwan touched his own face, “What?”

 

“You seem very happy.”

 

Xing Zhongwan rolled his eyes at him, “Just treat it as me doing good deeds and accumulating merit.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe squinted at him, “As if I’ll believe that!”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, “Reality is too hard to bear and I choose to live the life that makes me happy. During this period of time, you work hard first. When I go back, I’ll reward you well, if you want any beauties, as long as you let me know, there’s none that this Xing Zhongwan can’t invite back.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe bent his pinky with bright red nail polish and said happily, “It’s a promise!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up. It was now early morning, five o’clock, so he decided to lie down and sleep.

 

Xing Zhongwan had a dream in which he and his mother were standing at the door of Xing’s old house. His mother begged Xing Zhengping to let them in to allow them to see his grandfather for the last time. Xing Zhengping stood on the steps and looked at them coldly and told them to dream on. His mother was crying and trembling all over as she was holding him. Xing Zhongwan was still young at that time and didn’t understand what was going on. He was just in shock from seeing his mother’s own tears.

 

In a trance, someone stretched out his hand to support his mother, Xing Zhongwan looked up, his eyes could not open as if they were blinded by the sun. There was his very kind old grandmother in that blur.

 

A young man stayed by his side. The young Xing Zhongwan looked over and the boy’s appearance was vague. Just as he tried to squint, the boy’s face suddenly changed to Qi Yun’s. Then, the boy’s face suddenly withered quickly, turning into a bony face with only thin skin dr4p3d around it.

 

Xing Zhongwan suddenly opened his eyes. His back was wet and he was holding his forehead. How could he have such a dream? Just as he was thinking of getting up, there was a loud noise from outside the door, followed by the housekeeper’s endless cursing.

 

Xing Zhongwan frowned and got up. He put on his clothes and opened the door to see two servants still complaining loudly.

 

“He still takes himself for some sacred, precious thing, and won’t allow us to touch him. If it was not because he had money, who would want to touch him.”

 

“The bed is full of excrement and urine, yet he won’t let other’s clean it up. Does he think I want to do this?”

 

“That cripple’s temper is just too much! I’m not doing it anymore, whoever is willing to take care of him, go ahead and walk right in!”

 

The washbasin in his hand fell onto the ground heavily, and the two servants only took a quick glance at Xing Zhongwan before leaving. Although they didn’t understand why the old housekeeper insisted on calling him Miss Xing, despite him being a man, they understood right away by the way he dressed up that he wasn’t some ordinary person. They still didn’t know why he would choose to live with some cripple.

 

“Miss Xing, hurry up and leave too. This place really isn’t for anyone to hang around.”

 

Xing Zhongwan glared at them coldly and the two servants looked at each other before lowering their heads and headed out without speaking.

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his head and looked in the direction of the third floor. What is the one upstairs fussing about now! His mood was sour because he had just woken up. When he went to the third floor, Xing Zhongwan smelled an indescribable smell before even entering. Qi Yun’s quilt was thrown on the ground and his pants were half taken off. The person who was lying on the bed looked like a piece of paper. His chest violently heaving up and down, with his two pitifully pale and bony legs, his lower body was covered with excrement, making him look even more miserable.

 

Xing Zhongwan clutched his forehead. This person was really cripppled and still didn’t want to change his temper, so he can feel comfortable. Since the others were driven away, who will clean up now? The lifeless voice of the old housekeeper came from behind him, “Don’t worry Miss Xing, a new servant has already been sent for.”

 

Xing Zhongwan asked, “How long will it take before they arrive?” 

 

The old housekeeper was silent. Xing Zhongwan laughed angrily, “If there was no other servant, were you just going to let him lie down like this? In a pile of shit and urine?” 

 

The old housekeeper only smiled, “I have fulfilled my duty. If Miss Xing can’t overlook this, you can do it yourself.”

 

After speaking, the old housekeeper gleefully looked at Xing Zhongwan. Xing Zhongwan rubbed his aching head. The bad smell wafting between his nose made him want to act violently but when he looked back and saw the slightly trembling body on the bed, he realized that Qi Yun must have heard what the servant and the old housekeeper said just now.

 

Suddenly the shockingly handsome face flashed across his mind. Xing Zhongwan gnawed his teeth, he’s really fvcked now!
