Chapter 14: Little Guy, Your Floral Shirt Can’t Hold You Down
Qi Yue packed his luggage quickly after renting a place here. After all, he didn’t have much stuff to begin with.
He and Shen Kuozhi moved into a luxury apartment near the school with just one suitcase each.
Although Qi Yue knew about Shen’s family wealth, he didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to be so generous.
T University is part of the local university town, and there are indeed luxury apartments nearby that ordinary people can’t afford to live in.
They officially moved into the villa area developed by Jinyun Real Estate, a standalone deluxe house.
There were two floors in total, each about 150 square meters, more than enough for the two of them.
Qi Yue placed his belongings in the guest bedroom on the first floor. After all, they were only in a business partnership; it wasn’t possible for them to really share a room.
Since there were two floors, Shen Kuozhi stayed on the second floor while Qi Yue stayed on the first.
It was like he was living alone in a 150-square-meter house without having to pay rent or utilities. Quite enjoyable.
“You can tell me if you need anything.”
Shen Kuozhi watched Qi Yue dragging his suitcase towards the bedroom on the first floor.
“Okay.”
Qi Yue nodded to Shen Kuozhi before turning away.
Living together didn’t bring any other changes to Qi Yue’s life. Their schedules were different, and with Qi Yue’s recent focus on research topics, they hardly saw each other a few times a day.
This living arrangement gradually dispelled Qi Yue’s worries.
On Friday, after completing his preliminary research, Qi Yue was in a good mood. Coincidentally, his friend Lin Xiao asked him out, and he readily agreed.
They met at the GAY bar they frequented in the evening.
In this bar setting, Qi Yue shed his usual casual attire and donned a silk shirt, instantly looking more mature.
“Hey there~”
A man with black curly hair, wearing a floral shirt and a silver necklace, draped his arm over Qi Yue’s shoulder.
Qi Yue glanced slightly at his friend Lin Xiao, allowing the man to rest his right hand on his shoulder.
“What are you having?”
“The usual, don’t you know me yet?”
“You always have this, you’re not tired of it?”
Qi Yue said with his mouth, but his hand had already passed the drink he had ordered in advance to Lin Xiao.
“I knew you’d understand me~”
Lin Xiao withdrew his arm and sat side by side with Qi Yue at the bar counter.
It was only nine o’clock now, and the bar wasn’t crowded yet. The band in the center of the dance floor was still taking song requests.
“How are things going with him?”
Qi Yue looked at Lin Xiao and nodded his head towards the direction of the dance floor.
“Don’t mention it, too difficult to pursue. I’ve decided to give up.”
Lin Xiao shook his head and sighed heavily.
“It’s okay.”
Qi Yue touched Lin Xiao’s curly hair and said with a smile, “There’s nothing impossible in this world, as long as you’re willing to give up.”
Lin Xiao pretended to slap Qi Yue’s hand away, pouted, and said angrily, “Hmph! You, a natural solo, wouldn’t understand the taste of unrequited love!”
“Alright, alright.”
Qi Yue tried hard to suppress his laughter, coughed lightly, and pretended to clear his throat.
“But I have something to tell you…”
Leaning on the bar counter, Lin Xiao looked straight at Qi Yue upon hearing this, turning his head to face him.
“What is it?”
“Just don’t get too excited when I tell you.”
“Ha, there’s no situation I haven’t seen before. Don’t worry, even if Yueting Yun confesses to me today, I won’t be excited enough to shout it out.”
Lin Xiao straightened up and patted his slender chest, assuring Qi Yue with determination.
“I’m getting married, and the groom is the second son of the Shen family.”
“What…”
Just as Lin Xiao, who had just promised confidently, heard Qi Yue’s words, he instinctively wanted to shout.
Fortunately, Qi Yue knew he was unreliable and quickly covered Lin Xiao’s mouth before he could shout.
“Shh, it’s a public place, keep your voice down.”
Lin Xiao nodded frantically, signaling for Qi Yue to remove his hand.
After confirming that Lin Xiao wouldn’t shout again, Qi Yue withdrew his hand.
Lin Xiao immediately grabbed Qi Yue’s arm and leaned close to his ear, lowering his voice, and asked, “Is it the Shen family I’m thinking of?”
“There’s only one wealthy family in the entire city surnamed Shen, what do you think?”
After receiving Qi Yue’s confirmation, Lin Xiao became even more excited, and his originally narrow and charming peach blossom eyes widened into almost round shapes.
“Yue Yue, you little rascal, you’re secretly finding a partner behind my back, aren’t you? With your level of thinking, it doesn’t seem like you’d marry someone hastily! Come clean, when did you two get together?”
With his hands crossed over his chest, Lin Xiao stared at Qi Yue, pretending to be serious but actually looking cute, and questioned him.
“Maybe you’ll find it hard to believe, but it’s indeed similar to a flash marriage.”
Qi Yue took a sip of his drink and cleared his throat.
“You… you, you’ve changed, become a stranger. The Yue Yue I know isn’t someone who would have a flash marriage. Come on, who are you really?”
Lin Xiao, the drama king, covered his chest with his right hand and stretched out his left hand towards Qi Yue, staring at him with a seemingly affectionate and serious gaze.
“Alright, let me cut to the chase. Here’s what happened…”
Qi Yue summarized the recent conflicts between the Qi family and the Shen family for Lin Xiao.
After hearing the whole story, Lin Xiao exclaimed, “This is beyond ridiculous! If there’s a door to ridiculousness, his mother just opened it wide!”
“It’s really melodramatic. So, are you really planning to do that now?”
Lin Xiao instinctively wiped the glass in his hand and looked at Qi Yue.
“Yeah, I’ve made up my mind. Don’t worry.”
“Okay, but you mustn’t hide anything from me. If you encounter any difficulties, you have to tell me, don’t try to handle it alone, got it?”
“I got it, I got it~”
Qi Yue smiled and reached out to ruffle Lin Xiao’s curls.
“Tonight, I’ll accompany you to relax properly. Drink as much as you want, my treat!”
Lin Xiao waved his slender and fair hand and boldly said to Qi Yue, “Alright, thanks, boss Yue Yue~”
Saying he’d accompany him to relax, but Lin Xiao ended up being the first to surrender and got drunk.
Qi Yue shook Lin Xiao’s shoulder, but he just shook his head dazedly, staring at Qi Yue with watery eyes, without any other reaction.
“Boss Yue Yue, are you drunk already?”
Qi Yue chuckled.
“Mm… Baby Yue Yue, don’t be afraid, I’m here, no one can hurt you…”
Lin Xiao, who was dazed, suddenly hugged Qi Yue tightly, resting his head naturally on Qi Yue’s neck, his curls brushing against Qi Yue’s chin, causing a tingling sensation.
Qi Yue patted Lin Xiao’s back and realized he was really drunk.
But even if his friend was drunk, he could still think of him. Qi Yue couldn’t help but smile.
It was now midnight, and although the band’s performance had ended, the lead singer had not left yet.
He sat far away from Qi Yue’s group, the light casting shadows on his face, making it hard to discern his expression.
“Let’s go, let’s head back.”
Lin Xiao was now clearly intoxicated, and the bar was still bustling with activity, so there was no need to stay any longer.
“Mm… Let’s continue drinking!”
Lin Xiao muttered, but he surprisingly cooperated with Qi Yue’s actions, obediently leaning on Qi Yue’s shoulder.
His entire weight pressed against Qi Yue.
“Hello, do you need any help?”
