Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins - Chapter 87

The dressing room was a bit out of the way. Xie Qi carried the clothes and began changing. The fabric felt quite nice, and listening to their chatter, he knew that the head department was wealthy, and all the clothes were made by him. Each set might have cost a lot of money, several thousand yuan each, so they were well cared for.

He changed his clothes, and when he went out, the girls exclaimed so exaggeratedly that Xie Qi felt a little embarrassed.

He couldn’t help but think that girls were fragrant, soft, and good at complimenting others; they were very sweet with their words, unlike Qin Yizhi. If he really liked him, he wasn’t as sweet as them.

One that could make him happy with praise.

Xie Qi’s face remained calm, but in fact, the ears under the wig were quietly turning red.

The only female friend around him was Li Siwen, but Li Siwen… well, she was full of risqué humour, and naturally, she wasn’t shy and cute if she could be friends with Fan Qingyue and him.

Xie Qi, maintaining a calm expression, listened to the girls and posed for photos.

After the photoshoot, the photographer girl came over to show him the final shots, praising him repeatedly: “They’re great! So beautiful! You don’t need any editing at all. Your noble and grand face is so perfect, editing would only ruin it!”

Xie Qi thought, “…”

Look at how easily girls could offer compliments. How could Qin Yizhi be like them?

His mouth wasn’t sweet at all.

But what did Qin Yizhi like about him? Should he try being sweet too? Qin Yizhi would be shocked, right?

What would Qin Yizhi look like if he were jealous?

Would he get jealous?

Xie Qi couldn’t help but laugh as he thought about it. The straight-haired boy next to him picked up his phone and took a few photos. “…No matter how you take them, they’re all perfect. There’s no need to edit them. It’s worth the money, but if not for the lack of time, I’d ask for more sets.”

“Forget it, there’s always next time. It’s too hot today. Let’s finish work early and remove the makeup.”

Xie Qi was told it was time to call it a day, so he went to the dressing room to change clothes. But halfway through, he heard a boy shouting, “There’s a mouse! Ahhh! Come catch the mouse!”

There weren’t many things he feared in life, but he was terrified of cockroaches, rats, snakes, centipedes, spiders, caterpillars… and so on.

So, when he heard the noise, he immediately stepped outside. A boy thrust a broom into his hand and said, “Come with me to kill the mouse!”

Xie Qi was dragged along just like that. Before he could take off his cosplay pants, he asked the boy, “Where’s the mouse?”

The boy replied nervously, “It just ran over. You’re tall and brave. You have to kill it.”

Xie Qi looked down at his wrists, which were in sharp contrast with the boy’s thick arms, and didn’t know what to say.

But considering his family chef, the strong man which was tall and muscular, but liked to wear pink aprons, it seemed understandable for them to be a bit peculiar—even though the strong man now wore very loose clothes and aprons, walked with their chests deliberately hunched, and weren’t the heartthrobs he used to be.

Xie Qi searched for a long time but couldn’t find the mouse, so he grew impatient. He thrust the broom back into the boy’s hand and returned to change clothes.

After changing, he took the pile of props and went out to return them.

The girl with high ponytail was about to tidy it up and put it back when she touched it a little and felt something was wrong. When she unfolded the clothes and took a look, she screamed in surprise, “…Why is it torn!?”

Xie Qi was stunned, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a big tear in the armpit area of his shoulder.

Others also came over, “Ah… this, Xie Qi’s figure must be too good to burst.”

Xie Qi’s shoulders weren’t as wide as Qin Yizhi’s. After all, Qin Yizhi was 1.93 meters tall, but his shoulders were wider than those of normal boys. His height contributed to it, so it would have been understandable if it had burst.

“It’s okay, just go back and sew it up,” the girls spoke, wanting to move past this matter. Unexpectedly, a few boys couldn’t help but say, “North’s cosplay suit costs 70 to 80 dollars for the whole set. It’s worth a thousand yuan, so you were always careful when cosplaying, but now Xie Qi wears it and tears it as soon as he puts it on. You won’t pursue this? Don’t be such a hypocrite, okay? It’s fine if someone has pretty face?”

Qu Panshan also said loudly, “That’s right! We’re very careful with what we wear, we cherish and care for it, but he doesn’t care about it at all. If it gets broken, it gets broken, and he just turns around and leaves. You guys have too many double standards, don’t you think?”

“It doesn’t count if you say it’s okay. The head department bought them, okay? The head department paid for the clothes. I’ll talk to the head department.”

After saying that, he dialled the head department’s phone number and explained the matter very quickly. He didn’t know what was said there, but Qu Panshan’s eyes immediately lit up and he said with some pride, “Thank you. Our head department had these made. They’re unique and can’t be bought even if you have money. The head department said you can pay half of the cost.”

Half of it would have cost three to four thousand. Hei Changzhi reassured Xie Qi apologetically, “It’s okay, I won’t let you pay all alone.”

She touched her phone and ready to split the cost with him.

Xie Qi finally understood what was going on and asked, “Is there no surveillance here?”

Hei Changzhi was stunned for a moment and said, “This venue was rented by our head department, and there’s no surveillance.”

Xie Qi said, “I didn’t tear it. It was fine when I took it off.”

Hei Changzhi looked straight at the noisy boys and vaguely understood what he meant.

Qu Panshan came over and said to Gao Mawei, “The head department asked you to check other things again, don’t let him ruin it.”

The girl with the high ponytail wasn’t happy when she saw him, but when he said so, she checked it together. After this check, she found that the inside of the wig was also torn.

The girl: “…”

Qu Panshan immediately shouted, “Even the wig is broken! This wig costs thousands! You broke it too!”

The boys were filled with indignation: “You’re here to cause trouble!”

“You’ve broken things worth tens of thousands of dollars in total. It’s definitely intentional!”

Xie Qi: “…”

Once again, witnessing the diversity of species.

The girls spoke for him: “Shut up. We haven’t figured out the matter yet. You’re just making a fuss. You must have done it on purpose!”

“We checked the whole process. Except for changing clothes, we didn’t follow him. When he took pictures, everything was in good condition. How could it be possible for the clothes to be torn after he changed?”

Qu Panshan said, “Can you please stop covering for him? If he broke it, then he broke it. Is there any other reason?”

Xie Qi said, “But you don’t have any evidence that I broke it, right? If I broke it, I can pay for it, but if I didn’t break it, I won’t pay for it.”

“It was you who broke it, so stop making excuses.”

“That’s right, don’t you understand? You dare to act so boldly? Your character isn’t very good either.”

Xie Qi wanted to roll his eyes but kept calm. “First of all, I don’t care about the money, but I can’t suffer this injustice. If it’s not me, it’s not me. I won’t pay compensation. Let’s ask the police to check whose fingerprints it is. Anyway, I haven’t touched it.”

“In this era, everyone who does bad things wears gloves.”

“Why don’t you care about this little money? If you don’t care, then you can get out. Don’t make a fool of yourself and suffer the consequences.”

Xie Qi: “…”

Why were there still idiots hanging around in college?

Hei Changzhi got angry. “Okay, let’s not talk about it for now. If he says it’s not, then it’s not. Maybe the props have aged after being used for too long — this is also possible. He is the foreign aid we invited. If we want to compensate, it’s up to us to pool our money to compensate, so please stop making trouble.”

Xie Qi raised his voice and said, “No compensation is allowed. You can’t compensate.”

He didn’t want to continue to pester, so he took out his mobile phone, opened the mobile information, and raised it. “I don’t care about this little money. I will never pay for it if I didn’t do it. This is a matter of principle.”

Several boys’ eyes fell on Xie Qi’s mobile phone. The latest text message on it read: “Transfer and remittance of income from your account ending in xxxx: 600,000 yuan, and the balance is 3,960,000 yuan.”

One boy read out, “A millionaire… Fuck!”

“Fuck!??? More than three million??”

The sturdy boy who had stuffed the broom into Xie Qi raised his hand. “Xie Qi is indeed unjustly accused. Qu Panshan was the one who damaged it!”
