Chapter 29: Xiao Xiao’s Grievances
Recently, the Qi Group had acquired the land in the western suburbs, making them the talk of the town in the industry.
The sheer fact that they could casually shell out 1.5 billion yuan was enough to make their competitors wary.
After acquiring the land, Qi Weixiong had been closely following up on the matter. It was currently the largest project in Qi’s hands.
Qi Weixiong had made his fortune in real estate, so buying houses in Beijing was definitely not a losing business. Therefore, Qi Weixiong still wanted to use the land to build houses.
Qi Yue had no time to manage the Qi Group’s affairs recently. His company had been initially established, and all that remained was software development and trial operation.
After a month of non-stop work, Qi Yue finally had a chance to take a break and relax. He made an appointment with Lin Xiao to get together.
Qi Yue hadn’t seen Lin Xiao in a while either, and he didn’t know how things were going with him and Yue Tingyun.
They agreed to meet at their usual bar. When Qi Yue arrived, Lin Xiao was already sitting at the bar waiting.
“Mr. Qi, the busy man, I haven’t seen you in ages!”
Lin Xiao rested his left hand on the edge of the glass, his right hand supporting his chin, and looked at Qi Yue with raised eyebrows, teasing him.
Qi Yue walked over in a few steps and sat down next to Lin Xiao, touched Lin Xiao’s hair, and said with a smile:
“Don’t diss me, how have you been with Yue Tingyun lately?”
“Oh, so you still care about your precious baby’s relationship? I thought the little boat of our friendship couldn’t hold my little body anymore~”
Lin Xiao pretended to touch his heart and looked hurt.
Qi Yue ignored him, ordered a cocktail, and glanced at the band on stage. Sure enough, Yue Tingyun was there, and he seemed to be staring in their direction. It seemed that the two of them were probably together.
Lin Xiao pouted, reached out and pinched Qi Yue’s chin, turning Qi Yue’s head towards him, and said,
“What’s the matter, what’s the matter, it’s been a month since we’ve seen each other, this is your attitude towards me? It seems that once you have a man, you don’t need friends anymore, right?”
Qi Yue rested his chin on Lin Xiao’s palm, blinked, and looked at Lin Xiao with innocent eyes.
“Alright, my little master Xiao Xiao, it’s all my fault. I’ve been busy fighting for this month, otherwise how could I be worthy of being friends with my little master Xiao Xiao~”
After finishing speaking, Qi Yue laughed first himself. When he was with Lin Xiao, he always unconsciously became childish.
After his chin left Lin Xiao’s palm, Qi Yue reached out and put his arm around Lin Xiao’s shoulder, and gossiped, “So, what stage are you and that lead singer at now?”
Lin Xiao took a sip of his drink, rolled his eyes, and said uncomfortably, “What stage can it be? It’s just a normal py relationship, taking what we need.”
Qi Yue sat up straight, turned his head to observe Lin Xiao, and said seriously, “No way, can you tolerate this? This is not your style!”
Lin Xiao pursed his lips and said, “Oh, don’t talk about him anymore. There are thousands of men in the world. I don’t want to hang myself on this crooked neck tree.”
“Tell me about you and your guy, otherwise I’m the only one here gossiping about me, and you don’t reveal anything at all. That’s not okay.”
As Lin Xiao spoke the last words, his eyes lit up and he became energetic.
Sure enough, gossip is always more interesting to listen to from others.
Qi Yue retracted the hand that was on Lin Xiao’s shoulder, touched the tip of his nose, and said, “I’ve already said that Shen Kuozhi and I have a cooperative relationship. You’re just daydreaming…”
“Oh, well, then let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go, it’s been a long time since we’ve gone clubbing. Let’s go clubbing and try to meet a handsome little brother today~”
Lin Xiao finished the rest of his drink in one gulp, whistled, danced his arms, and looked at Qi Yue with a smile.
Qi Yue had indeed not relaxed for a long time, and he had planned to have a good time with Lin Xiao today. Seeing Lin Xiao’s enthusiasm, he also finished his drink.
“Let’s go, tonight we won’t return home!”
The two of them had been drinking, their faces flushed with either drunkenness or excitement, it was hard to tell.
The bar resonated with provocative accompaniment as the band performed popular love songs circulating on the internet lately. The deep, seductive voice permeated through the microphone, reaching the ears of every patron present.
The naturally magnetic voice, amplified through the condenser microphone, carried an electrifying quality, causing listeners’ ears to tingle. For those more sensitive, even their bodies felt a tingling sensation.
As the singer reached the low notes, it felt as if they were whispering sweet confessions directly into your ear.
Men in the bar’s dance floor swayed their bodies, possibly igniting sparks of passion with someone amidst the crowded atmosphere.
Almost as soon as Lin Xiao stepped onto the dance floor, a pair of aggressively assertive eyes locked onto him.
Yue Tingyun stood amidst the band, holding a condenser microphone and singing lyrics that made hearts race and faces blush, yet his eyes were glued to the splash of crimson in the dance floor.
If eyes could touch, Lin Xiao would have been thoroughly explored by Yue Tingyun.
Once in the dance floor, Qi Yue and Lin Xiao moved to the beat of the music. In terms of looks, they were among the top in the entire bar.
Some patrons had already been eyeing them while they were at the bar counter, and now that they were on the dance floor, some became even more unabashed.
However, Qi Yue and Lin Xiao were seasoned in the bar scene and were not afraid of these attempts at flirtation.
But today, they encountered a man who didn’t seem to follow the rules. Despite clear signs of rejection, he continued to hover around Lin Xiao, attempting to make advances.
For some reason, Lin Xiao seemed to attract unwanted attention tonight, much to Qi Yue’s annoyance. Unfortunately, Lin Xiao wasn’t interested in anyone, especially not someone whose looks couldn’t compare to Yue Tingyun’s. When the man’s hand was about to sneakily reach out again, Lin Xiao swatted it away, furrowing his brows in displeasure, and said,
“You’ve got some nerve, don’t you see I’ve already rejected you? You’re so blind.”
The man didn’t seem angry at being caught out, but rather smirked crookedly. He scanned Lin Xiao from head to toe and leaned in with a crude tone, saying,
“I know your type well, pretending to be innocent on the surface but secretly as lewd as they come. I bet a touch from a man down there would make you wet, am I right?”
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at the man with a full beard, thoroughly unimpressed. Feeling uncomfortable, he immediately didn’t feel like dancing anymore and turned to leave.
However, the man grabbed his wrist and rubbed it suggestively, clearly insinuating something.
Qi Yue, who was about a meter away from Lin Xiao, quickly noticed the situation. He calmly moved closer.
When the man grabbed Lin Xiao’s hand, Qi Yue swiftly delivered a ruthless elbow to the man’s abdomen.
“Get lost.”
After delivering the elbow, Qi Yue coldly uttered a single word to the man.
The man, reeking of alcohol in his speech, probably had too much to drink. Being hit by Qi Yue’s elbow caused his stomach to churn instantly, the pain making him gasp for breath and sober up a bit.
Before he could recover, Qi Yue and Lin Xiao had already left the dance floor.
At some point, the lead singer of the band had changed, and the music on stage transitioned to a rock style.
Qi Yue and Lin Xiao had barely sat down in their booth when Yue Tingyun approached them.
“What just happened?”
Yue Tingyun looked at Lin Xiao, who was sitting there calmly, still in the mood to drink, a mixture of anger and frustration evident in his demeanor.
“Why are you here? What happened just now?”
Lin Xiao raised his eyes to glance at Yue Tingyun, then took another sip of his cocktail while still holding his raised hand.
“You know why I’m here.”
“Young Master Yue really knows how to joke. How would I know why you’re here? I’m not the worm in your stomach.”
Qi Yue looked from one side to the other. Being caught in the middle between the little couple was already uncomfortable, let alone a quarreling couple. So, he chose to shut up and try his best to be a transparent person.
“Lin Xiao, you know what I mean…”
“Sorry, I’m not that smart, I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.”
Lin Xiao lowered his head and twirled the wine glass in his hand, his tone indifferent.
Qi Yue hadn’t seen Lin Xiao like this in a long time. The last time Xiao Xiao spoke in this tone was when he was in elementary school, when his beloved Samoyed was sent away by his family.
He didn’t know what Yue Tingyun had done to make Xiao Xiao, who was usually kind and cheerful, have this kind of attitude towards him.
“Xiao Xiao…”
“Yue Yue, let’s go. It’s stuffy here and it doesn’t smell good.”
Lin Xiao interrupted Yue Tingyun’s words, lowered his head, and said to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue, who was familiar with Lin Xiao, could immediately tell that Lin Xiao’s voice was not right.
When Lin Xiao just said this to him, his voice was trembling slightly, full of grievance. Qi Yue only felt that his heart was being grasped by someone, and it hurt a little.
“Let’s go, let’s go play somewhere else. Let’s not play here anymore.”
Qi Yue put his hand on Lin Xiao’s shoulder, blocked Yue Tingyun in front of him, and protected Lin Xiao as they walked out.
Seeing that Yue Tingyun seemed to want to follow, Qi Yue turned his head and said to him, “Today is not the time to talk. If you don’t want things to get worse, don’t follow.”
Yue Tingyun stood there stunned, wondering why his originally good relationship with Lin Xiao had turned out like this.
After Lin Xiao’s figure completely disappeared from sight, Yue Tingyun cursed in Chinese, squatted down, and scratched his hair.
On this side, Qi Yue took Lin Xiao out. It was already 1:00 in the morning, and there were few pedestrians outside. For a while, they didn’t know where to go.
“Yue Yue, can you take me to your house?”
Lin Xiao leaned on Qi Yue’s chest, his eyes red, and said pitifully with a small nasal sound.
Qi Yue patted Lin Xiao’s back and said softly, “Of course, you’re very welcome. You can even sleep with me tonight.”
“Really? Sleep with you!”
Lin Xiao raised his head to look at Qi Yue, his eyes wide open, both pitiful and wanting to be bullied.
Qi Yue smiled and flicked Lin Xiao’s forehead, saying with a smile,
“It’s not like we haven’t slept together before, why are you so excited?”
Lin Xiao hugged Qi Yue’s arm, shook it slightly, and said, “Isn’t that a long time ago? It’s been a long time since we slept together, I miss you so much~”
Qi Yue twitched the corners of his mouth. If Lin Xiao wasn’t in a state of grief right now, he would never have said such rash things.
After all, when he used to sleep with Lin Xiao in junior high school, he was either kicked out by Lin Xiao in the middle of the night or woken up by the cold.
Sleeping with Lin Xiao was torture. He would never mention it unless he was absolutely desperate.
Could it be that Yue Tingyun and Xiao Xiao had a conflict because they didn’t get along in bed?
