Chapter 45 Shen Kuozhi’s Little Scheme
“Why… why aren’t you wearing any clothes?!”
Qi Yue widened his eyes, unable to understand why Shen Kuozhi would come out like this.
Shen Ge, even though we’re both men, there’s no need to be so casual, right?!
Shen Kuozhi was taken aback by Qi Yue’s words, he looked down at himself.
Was it really that strange of him?
Shen Kuozhi had nothing on his upper body, just a towel wrapped around his lower half.
With the temperature rising and the night not being cold anymore, he was used to coming out like this after showering, waiting to put on his pajamas after drying his hair.
But he didn’t expect Qi Yue’s reaction to be so big, although this appearance made him want to tease even more.
“Is there something wrong with me like this? I thought we were both males, you wouldn’t mind these things… Sorry, if you mind, I’ll go change now.”
Shen Kuozhi innocently looked at Qi Yue, but inside, he was already chuckling.
Looking at Shen Kuozhi like this, Qi Yue didn’t even know his own cheeks were quickly turning red.
He stuttered, “You should go change quickly, I’m worried you’ll catch a cold at night…”
“Oh, I see~ Thank you for caring, little Yue Yue, don’t worry, I won’t catch a cold~”
Shen Kuozhi laughed and deliberately walked past Qi Yue, taking his pajamas and hairdryer back to the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of the hairdryer echoed from the bathroom.
As Shen Kuozhi walked past, Qi Yue blinked and told himself not to look improperly, but his rationality was saying they’re both men, and he’s not gay, so what’s there to be afraid of!
He must have been spending too much time with Lin Xiao, otherwise how could he be so sensitive to these things.
Qi Yue silently poked Lin Xiao in his heart.
As Shen Kuozhi entered the bathroom, Qi Yue fled into the blanket as if escaping, wanting to cover himself completely, but his face was steaming, and before Shen Kuozhi even came out, he had already poked his head out due to the heat.
Qi Yue, bored, picked up his phone and sent a comforting message to Lin Xiao.
[Qi Yue: Are you asleep yet? You must be tired today.]
[Lin Xiao: Yeah, today really wore me out, but it’s all worth it for my darling~]
[Qi Yue: If you’re tired, go to bed early, goodnight.]
See, it’s true that Lin Xiao’s way of chatting with him every day has subtly influenced him.
With such cheesy words, he’s actually gotten used to it and doesn’t feel anything wrong anymore.
Qi Yue reflected on himself for a moment and realized that he might have overreacted a bit when facing Shen Kuozhi just now.
“Aren’t you sleeping yet?”
Shen Kuozhi, already done blow-drying his hair and changed into pajamas, saw the white lump blinking with bright eyes lying on the bed as soon as he came out.
“Shen Kuozhi!”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Shen Kuozhi froze for a moment. Why did Qi Yue suddenly call him by his full name again? Could he be really angry?
“I was too impulsive just now, I apologize to you. You can wear whatever you want, I shouldn’t impose my preferences on you!”
Qi Yue stared at the patterns on the blanket, feeling more and more embarrassed as he spoke, not daring to look at Shen Kuozhi.
Shen Kuozhi thought he had angered the other party just now, but he didn’t expect his darling to think he was angry.
He suppressed a laugh, but unexpectedly, as he suppressed it, he coughed a few times in a row.
Qi Yue looked at him alertly, worriedly asking, “What’s wrong? Why did you start coughing? Did you catch a cold?”
“It’s just an old problem, nothing serious, go to sleep.”
Shen Kuozhi waved his hand dismissively, clenched his fist against his lips.
He couldn’t possibly tell Qi Yue that he was choking on his own saliva from suppressing laughter, could he?
Qi Yue stared at Shen Kuozhi suspiciously, momentarily forgetting that he had just shyly retreated into the blanket.
Shen Kuozhi took a sip of warm water, swallowed, and then stopped coughing.
Walking over, Shen Kuozhi took out another thin blanket from the cabinet and placed it on the other side of the bed before getting in himself.
“Let’s sleep.”
A soft voice came from above Qi Yue, and then the smart lights in the room slowly dimmed.
Qi Yue subconsciously nodded inside the blanket, realizing that the other party might not have seen it, so he responded again.
There was a muffled “hmm” from the blanket, then silence, indicating that Qi Yue had fallen asleep.
Shen Kuozhi lay on the bed, blinked in the darkness, Qi Yue sleeping beside him, his hand just an arm’s length away, and he could even hear the shallow sound of his breathing clearly.
He quietly took a deep breath, the veins on his arm bulging against the blanket.
Starting over, he could finally feel this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling again.
Unlike Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue didn’t think too much about it. After the lights went out, he fell asleep shortly after.
However, his sleep was not peaceful, as he began to dream.
The scene in the dream was extremely similar to the wedding ceremony earlier that day, except that Qi Weixiong’s nauseating face appeared at the wedding venue.
He and “Shen Kuozhi” served tea to Qi Weixiong together and received a red envelope.
Even though Qi Yue couldn’t control his body, he could still clearly feel his body resisting the contact with Qi Weixiong.
But for some reason, even though he felt extreme resistance inside, Qi Weixiong still stubbornly appeared in his dreams like this.
Could it be that extreme opposites attract?
In the dream, Qi Yue was like a bystander, watching the entire process of his wedding with Shen Kuozhi.
Overall, the wedding was not much different from today, but there were many differences in the details. For example, their wedding attire was completely different from today’s, and the relationship between the Shen family and the Qi family seemed more harmonious.
And Qi Yue looked at Shen Kuozhi standing beside him in the dream. It was clearly the same face, but he felt that there was something different about him, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was different.
This dream was intermittent. In the second half of the wedding, Qi Yue felt a bit swollen and a bit painful in his head, and the scene in the dream became unusually lively, even noisy.
His consciousness floated in the air, watching what was happening below from a god’s perspective.
As soon as this thought arose, Qi Yue saw Shen Kuozhi standing beside “himself” suddenly falling forward.
If “he” hadn’t reacted quickly, Shen Kuozhi would have had an intimate encounter with the lawn.
The sudden situation here with Shen Kuozhi caused a commotion around.
The bodyguards took Shen Kuozhi away, and Qi Yue watched as “he” followed up.
His consciousness shifted to indoors, where Shen Kuozhi lay quietly on the bed with a pale face and closed eyes, while “he” sat by the bedside.
The Shen Kuozhi in the dream was slightly thinner than in reality, and his complexion was not as good as the Shen Kuozhi Qi Yue knew.
In the dream, “himself” sat by the bedside, but he was busy playing with his phone, his expression remaining unchanged throughout.
However, Qi Yue’s ideological consciousness couldn’t help but tighten when he saw Shen Kuozhi fall.
Dreams are always the opposite.
So in reality, Shen Kuozhi didn’t faint at the wedding, and he couldn’t possibly be so calm and indifferent.
Thinking of this, Qi Yue no longer dwelled on the scenes in the dream, but treated them as someone else’s story.
The dream was long, and Qi Yue felt like he was trapped in a nightmare, unable to come out, unable to end it.
It was as if it had its own consciousness, relentlessly feeding into Qi Yue’s mind.
When Qi Yue woke up the next morning, the dream was still so vivid in his mind, truly amazing.
Qi Yue opened his eyes but didn’t move.
He was now very close to Shen Kuozhi, able to count every eyelash on the other’s eyelids clearly.
He remembered that before falling asleep, the distance between them shouldn’t have been this close. Qi Yue quietly glanced at the distance between himself and Shen Kuozhi, as if he had moved closer.
Shen Kuozhi was still asleep, it should still be early, Qi Yue lay on the bed staring at Shen Kuozhi’s profile for a while.
Compared to the slightly thinner Shen Kuozhi in the dream, the Shen Kuozhi in reality was indeed more handsome.
When Qi Yue snapped out of his thoughts, he found that Shen Kuozhi had opened his eyes at some point and was now looking at him.
Shen Kuozhi hoarsely said, “You’re awake so early? Go back to sleep for a while, it’s still early.”
Qi Yue didn’t expect to be caught off guard like this, his face heating up. He murmured a quiet “okay” and then turned his head away, refusing to look at Shen Kuozhi.
Watching Qi Yue’s series of actions, Shen Kuozhi’s eyes curved, and his lips couldn’t help but turn up.
Yue Yue probably didn’t know how rosy he looked when he woke up this morning, so adorable.
After Qi Yue turned away, to avoid embarrassment, he quickly closed his eyes, pretending to continue sleeping.
But now, all that flashed through his mind was Shen Kuozhi’s almost perfect profile, impossible to shake off.
Seeing such a magnificent face so early in the morning, it would be hard for anyone to resist.
Shen Kuozhi intended to smile, but unexpectedly ended up coughing a few times.
Qi Yue turned his head back again, his eyes fixed on Shen Kuozhi, his tone tense, which even he didn’t realize: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“It’s nothing… *cough*… just an old problem, it’s okay.”
Shen Kuozhi clenched his left fist against his lips, and gestured with his right hand to indicate to Qi Yue not to worry.
Seeing him like this, Qi Yue felt even more anxious. No matter how he looked at it, Shen Kuozhi didn’t seem okay at all.
It’s been said that Shen Kuozhi’s health isn’t good, but Qi Yue never knew exactly what illness he had.
Thinking of Shen Kuozhi in his dream, Qi Yue felt extremely relieved. Thankfully, it was just a dream, and the Shen Kuozhi in reality looked much better.
“Does this cough always happen? Can’t it be cured?”
Qi Yue asked softly from under the blanket.
Shen Kuozhi tightened the blanket with his right hand, then let go with his left hand, saying in a relaxed tone, “It’s due to my constitution, so it’s difficult to completely eliminate it. There’s no need to worry too much.”
Seeing Shen Kuozhi say this, Qi Yue nodded and didn’t ask further.
After this brief conversation, Qi Yue was fully awake. He lifted the blanket and got out of bed, ready to freshen up.
Glancing back at Shen Kuozhi on the bed, he said, “Are you going to sleep a bit more? I’ll freshen up first.”
“No, I’ll get up too.”
When Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi finished freshening up and went to the restaurant for breakfast, they only saw Shen’s grandmother quietly dining in the restaurant.
It was just eight o’clock in the morning now. Most of the younger members of the Shen family stayed up quite late yesterday, so many of them hadn’t gotten up yet.
“Why aren’t you sleeping a bit longer?”
Shen’s grandmother, seeing them, asked with a smile.
