Chapter 18 Shen Kuozhi Knows How to Flirt
When Qi Yue arrived home, it was already 9:20. Unexpectedly, a small orange light was on at the entrance, as if waiting for his return.
As he stepped inside, he was surprised to find Shen Kuozhi sitting on the sofa, dressed neatly, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a few slightly long strands of hair falling on his face.
He gave off a scholarly yet defeated vibe.
It had to be said that Shen Kuozhi’s appearance truly made Qi Yue’s heart race uncontrollably.
There’s no denying it, in this world, who couldn’t be a sucker for looks?
“Back already?”
“Yeah.”
Qi Yue nodded, realizing that Shen Kuozhi probably couldn’t see him, so he responded again.
Since Shen Kuozhi was in the living room, Qi Yue didn’t rush back to his room. He had something to ask Shen Kuozhi to do.
Qi Yue went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of milk, then turned and casually asked Shen Kuozhi, “Want something to drink?”
“I’m fine. Heat up the milk for yourself.”
Qi Yue couldn’t be bothered and just grabbed it and walked over to the single sofa next to Shen Kuozhi.
Just as he was about to drink, he caught Shen Kuozhi’s gaze. He didn’t know when Shen Kuozhi started looking at him.
“The milk in the fridge is cold. Heat it up in the microwave before drinking.”
“No problem.”
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, unfazed.
“Then heat one for me, please. Thanks.”
Shen Kuozhi said lightly, his thoughts inscrutable.
Qi Yue smirked. Didn’t he just say he didn’t want any? Why the change of heart now?
Well, considering how delicate he seemed, Qi Yue decided to take care of him a bit.
As Qi Yue got up to heat the milk for Shen Kuozhi, he heard Shen Kuozhi’s soft voice.
“Since we’re heating things up, why don’t you warm yours too?”
Qi Yue looked deeply at Shen Kuozhi. Did he really want him to drink warm milk? Surely not?
Perhaps he was trying to win his favor?
But Qi Yue wasn’t that easily swayed.
With a warm cup of milk in hand, Qi Yue sat back down next to Shen Kuozhi on the sofa. Finally, it was time to get down to business.
“I need your help with something.”
Shen Kuozhi set down his tablet, nodded, and looked at Qi Yue attentively, indicating him to continue.
“I need you to make a call to Qi Weixiong and file a complaint. Can you do that?”
As Qi Yue said this, he felt a bit guilty for some reason, so he lowered his head and took a sip of milk to cover it up.
“Sure, what exactly do you want me to say?”
Shen Kuozhi didn’t refuse or ask too many questions about why Qi Yue wanted this done.
On the contrary, he agreed readily.
“I’ll send you the specific words.”
Qi Yue blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed to say it out loud in front of Shen Kuozhi.
Then Shen Kuozhi’s phone buzzed a few times in succession.
After unlocking his phone, Shen Kuozhi saw the WeChat messages pop up.
[LP: You can just say Qi Lei is bullying me]
…
The following messages were mainly the lines Qi Yue sent to him.
Out of Qi Yue’s sight, Shen Kuozhi lightly tapped his index finger on the screen with his profile picture, a slight smile playing at the corner of his lips.
“Okay, got it. I’ll make the call later.”
“Thanks.”
Even though they were sitting just two meters apart, they were chatting on their phones, which seemed rather amusing.
“Shall I go back to my room then?”
After discussing the matter with Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue intended to return to his room. After all, they didn’t have much else to talk about.
“Are you free tomorrow, Saturday?”
Just as Qi Yue was about to leave, Shen Kuozhi suddenly asked.
“Yeah, I am. What’s up?”
“Grandma wants us to come over tomorrow to visit her, probably just for a meal.”
“Alright.”
After that, they had nothing more to discuss. Qi Yue headed back to his room without looking back.
Shen Kuozhi’s gaze followed Qi Yue until his figure was completely blocked by the door, then he withdrew his gaze.
“This kid has no conscience, using me and then running off.”
Shen Kuozhi shook his head, chuckling softly.
He dialed Qi Weixiong’s number, and it took until the second attempt for the call to connect.
“Hello, uncle, it’s Shen Kuozhi.”
“Hey, Kuozhi~ It’s quite late for you to call. Is there something wrong?”
“It’s nothing major, just wanted to chat about family matters.”
“Sure, Kuozhi, whatever you want to talk about, we’ll talk about.”
The tone from the other end of the phone was full of flattery.
“Uncle, Qi Lei has been brought up so well, which speaks volumes about your great parenting. I’m very grateful. If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be the fate between me and Qi Lei.”
“Haha~ Nonsense, Lei Lei is quite outstanding on his own.”
Qi Weixiong laughed on the other end, though he felt a bit guilty. After all, his parenting towards Qi Yue didn’t do much good. Not having to resort to corporal punishment was already considered lenient.
“It’s all thanks to you, uncle…”
“Hmm? What is it, Kuozhi? Is there something about Lei Lei that’s bothering you?”
“It’s not that. It’s just that your young master seems to have quite an opinion of me.”
“Lei Lei? That’s impossible. How could Lei Lei have any issues with you? There must be some misunderstanding…”
Before Qi Weixiong could explain further, Shen Kuozhi interrupted him.
“Then how do you explain your young master telling Qi Yue in front of me that he married an invalid, bringing shame to the Qi family? I’m truly saddened by his words. Although my health may be fragile, I truly cherish and love Qi Yue. Hearing your young master speak like that really breaks my heart.”
Shen Kuozhi’s words were polite, but his expression and tone were quite different.
His gaze was sharp, but fortunately, Qi Weixiong couldn’t see Shen Kuozhi’s expression at this moment, or he would have wilted instantly.
However, even with just the flat tone over the phone, it was enough to make Qi Weixiong, who hadn’t even put on his pants properly, break out in a cold sweat.
“Lei Lei cares a lot about Qi Yue, but he’s not good at expressing himself. Don’t worry, Kuozhi, I’ll definitely educate him properly.”
“Yeah, I believe there’s probably a misunderstanding. I also trust you, uncle. If you could raise someone as excellent as Qi Yue, naturally, you can educate your young master well.”
“Hehe, of course, Kuozhi, you can rest assured. When you see Lei Lei next time, he definitely won’t do this again.”
“Alright, then I hope your young master won’t say such hurtful words in front of Qi Yue again in the future. Otherwise, what am I supposed to do? What do you think, uncle?”
“Yes, yes, Kuozhi, you’ve considered it thoroughly!”
“Well, I won’t disturb your rest any longer, uncle.”
“Ah, no disturbance at all, it’s still early.”
It was already half past ten at night, but Qi Weixiong was still blabbering nonsense without blinking an eye.
Shen Kuozhi hung up the phone, coldly looking at the number on his screen.
Anyone from the Qi family who hurt Yue Yue wouldn’t get away with it.
Whoever comes at him first, he’ll strike first.
