Chapter 25: The World of Three is Still Too Crowded
Qi Yue tugged at the corner of his mouth, unsure of what was going on in Lin Xiao’s mind.
“Am I really that bad? Why can’t I be the one who profits?”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s that kid who’s getting the better deal. Yue Yue is so good, if not for me being just a weakling, I wouldn’t let others reap the benefits.”
“Alright, stop pretending. I’ll settle the score with you after this.”
“Why? Where did I upset the beautiful Qi?”
Lin Xiao pouted and shook Qi Yue’s arm.
Qi Yue shook his head, snapped back to reality, and gently flicked Lin Xiao’s chin, saying with a smile, “That’s enough from you.”
“Smile, do we have plans for tonight?”
Yue Tingyun, who had been ignored all along, couldn’t sit still anymore. He was still here, why did he feel completely invisible?
Was it because he was unsatisfied with his performance last time? Although it was his first time on the road, he considered himself to be knowledgeable in theory and quite skilled in driving.
Lin Xiao sat in the middle, managing both sides, very busy.
Yue Tingyun was almost hinting at something, but Lin Xiao definitely couldn’t ignore Qi Yue. He wasn’t someone who would forget loyalty for lust.
“Tonight, we’ll listen to Yue Yue’s arrangements. Do you have any recommendations?”
“I’m probably busy tonight.”
Qi Yue saw through Yue Tingyun’s intentions. If he still insisted on being in the middle like this, then he was being unreasonable.
“Oh? Then, how was your time with Yue Yue today? Satisfied?”
Lin Xiao pretended to punch Qi Yue’s leg and said with a smile.
“Quite satisfied. Try harder next time. Today, step down and go on your own date.”
“Got it.”
After Shen Kuozhi finished speaking, Qi Yue’s phone vibrated.
[Shen Kuozhi: Having dinner at home tonight? Shall we go back together?]
[Qi Yue: Okay.]
Before Lin Xiao could sit properly, with his head still turned towards Qi Yue and not yet back in position, a hot hand rested on his thigh.
Lin Xiao caught a glimpse of Qi Yue’s faint smile as he typed a message, knowing that something good was probably happening.
Thinking about Qi Yue’s engagement partner also being there, Lin Xiao roughly figured it out, and he felt relieved.
“Going home together tonight?”
To prevent someone’s hand from wandering on his leg, Lin Xiao smirked and whispered something quickly into Qi Yue’s ear before sitting up straight again.
Qi Yue shot Lin Xiao a glance but didn’t respond.
After the performance ended, Yue Tingyun walked beside Lin Xiao, holding his hand. Qi Yue followed behind, observing everything.
“Shall we leave first?”
“Sure, sure, don’t want to disturb you two.”
“Yue Yue, what are you saying? You’ll always be my precious one.”
Lin Xiao blew a kiss with his right hand, waved again, and then followed Yue Tingyun out.
Qi Yue waved back at them, watching Lin Xiao’s figure disappear into the crowd before turning his gaze towards the front row.
In the bustling crowd, his eyes met Shen Kuozhi’s, who waved him over.
After the two converged, Shen Kuozhi didn’t ask much, but instead said, “Let’s go, shall we head straight home or go somewhere else?”
“I have no other plans, it’s up to you.”
“Then let’s go home.”
Today, Qi Yue had dinner, went shopping, and even had a fight with Lin Xiao. He was a bit tired, indeed a bit tired, so going home was just what he wanted.
After getting into the car, the two of them were in a quiet environment, which seemed a bit unusual. Qi Yue’s eyelid twitched.
He glanced sideways at Shen Kuozhi, only to be caught in the act.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Qi Yue shook his head and lowered it, fiddling with his phone.
At that moment, a message came, seemingly like a gospel sent to him, rescuing the awkward atmosphere.
[Yang Ling: Okay, are you free tomorrow?]
Tomorrow is the weekend, so theoretically, he didn’t have anything scheduled.
However, before Qi Yue could send the message, a low, magnetic voice came from his left.
“Do you have time tomorrow?”
“What’s happening tomorrow?”
“I have a business engagement that requires a companion.”
Since it was a matter of this nature, Qi Yue naturally felt hesitant to refuse, so he nodded and said:
“What time tomorrow?”
“It might take the whole day, and the event is scheduled in the neighboring city.”
“Alright.”
After discussing with Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue had to delete the edited content in the input field and compose a new message to send out.
[Qi Yue: Sorry, Brother Ling, I’m not available tomorrow. Can we reschedule?]
[Yang Ling: No problem, no problem. When are you free?]
[Qi Yue: How about the day after tomorrow? Are you free then?]
[Yang Ling: Okay, I’m free in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Shall we have dinner together?]
[Qi Yue: Sure, I’ll treat you then.]
[Yang Ling: Haha, okay, the boss treats.]
After confirming the meeting time and place with Yang Ling, Qi Yue finally put down his phone.
He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.
Shen Kuozhi asked softly beside him, “Been busy lately?”
“Yeah, I might need to use the supplementary card you gave me.”
Facing Qi Yue’s words, Shen Kuozhi answered without hesitation, “I gave it to you for you to use. Feel free to use it, and if it’s not enough, let me know.”
“If you’re tired, let’s not go home for dinner tonight. I’ll take you somewhere.”
“Huh?”
Qi Yue opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Kuozhi, but Shen Kuozhi didn’t seem inclined to explain, just saying,
“You’ll know when we get there. Rest for now.”
Qi Yue obediently closed his eyes and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up again, they had already arrived at their destination.
“We’re here? What is this place?”
“Let’s go, you’ll find out when we get down.”
After Shen Kuozhi got out of the car, he naturally reached out his hand towards Qi Yue’s direction.
Qi Yue pretended not to see and got out of the car by himself.
Unexpectedly, the place Shen Kuozhi brought him to was a well-known massage parlor in Beijing.
Why was it famous?
Because Lin Xiao had recommended it to him before, and when he introduced it, he was quite vivid, saying that not only were the massage therapists here skilled, but they also had good looks and great bodies.
“Massage?”
“Yeah, not just massage, there are other services too. It’s quite relaxing to get the whole package. You said you were tired, so relax a bit.”
“Uh…”
Qi Yue looked at Shen Kuozhi’s innocent eyes, wondering if this guy really didn’t understand or was pretending not to.
However, when Qi Yue followed Shen Kuozhi inside, he began to doubt whether the place Lin Xiao recommended was accurate.
It turned out to be a regular massage, bathing, and dining center. He didn’t know how it turned into something else when it came out of Lin Xiao’s mouth.
During the massage, Qi Yue was in a private room with a masseur attending to him. He didn’t pay much attention to the masseur’s appearance, but his skills were indeed flawless.
However, during the bath, it wasn’t one person per pool. They said it was peak hours, and there weren’t enough pools, so he and Shen Kuozhi shared one.
Since they were both men, it didn’t matter much.
However, Qi Yue couldn’t help but notice Shen Kuozhi’s physique from all angles.
Fair-skinned, but not the kind that looked sickly. On the contrary, Shen Kuozhi’s figure was very eye-catching, with well-proportioned muscles covering his body, neither too abrupt nor too soft.
Compared to Shen Kuozhi’s physique, Qi Yue felt that he was the weaker one.
Qi Yue swam a few strokes in the pool, then fetched two glasses of wine from the shore and handed one to Shen Kuozhi, casually saying:
“I didn’t expect you to have a good physique~”
Shen Kuozhi took the wine, tilted his head slightly, swallowed, took a sip, and said:
“It’s the result of regular exercise. You can do it too.”
“Yeah.”
Qi Yue nodded and took a sip of wine as well, leaning on the shore. His exposed shoulders were fair and smooth, almost reflecting under the light, thin and smooth like sheep fat jade, resembling artwork, and felt extremely good to the touch.
Behind him, Shen Kuozhi silently swallowed his saliva. The wine he just drank seemed to have taken effect, warming up all his internal organs, making him feel a surge of heat rushing down.
Qi Yue initially closed his eyes to rest on the shore, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep like that after a while.
As his body slowly slipped down, a pair of large, warm hands firmly held onto his shoulders.
Shen Kuozhi could clearly feel the soft touch under his palm. It was as tender as he imagined.
Seeing that Qi Yue showed no signs of waking up, he pressed his chest against Qi Yue’s smooth back, his hands passing through Qi Yue’s arms, holding him securely in his embrace.
Shen Kuozhi lowered his head and lightly sniffed Qi Yue’s soft hair, a pleasant fragrance of cold wood and cedar drifting in.
That was the extent of it. He didn’t make any more unnecessary movements, just quietly holding Qi Yue like this.
When Qi Yue woke up again, it was already seven o’clock the next morning. He was lying comfortably in his bed wearing pajamas.
The last memory he had was in the hot spring. It seemed that Shen Kuozhi had cleaned him up and brought him back.
Qi Yue had slept soundly, and after waking up, he got up to freshen up.
When he came out of the room ready to go to the kitchen for breakfast, Qi Yue thought that Shen Kuozhi probably wouldn’t be awake at this hour, but he unexpectedly ran into Shen Kuozhi in the kitchen.
“You’re up so early?”
Qi Yue greeted Shen Kuozhi from behind, and hearing his voice, Shen Kuozhi paused his actions and turned to Qi Yue, saying:
“Awake? I’m just making breakfast. What would you like to eat? I’ll make some for both of us.”
It was then that Qi Yue saw what Shen Kuozhi was doing. He didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to be preparing noodles.
“Noodles? Then I’ll have that too.”
Was the CEO really so down-to-earth? But Qi Yue quite liked traditional Chinese breakfasts; he couldn’t get used to the fancy Western-style breakfasts of elites.
“Are you done washing up? I still need a while here. Why don’t you go outside and wait for a bit? It’s quite smoky in here.”
“I’m done washing up. Do you need any help?”
“No, it’s fine. It’s not like I’m cooking a feast. You go outside and wait.”
“Alright, then I’ll wash the dishes.”
Qi Yue nodded and went outside without fuss, spending some time browsing the news for a while.
After a while, the kitchen wafted with a subtle fragrance, not overpowering but rather appetizing.
It seemed that Shen Kuozhi was being modest about his cooking skills after all.
