Chapter 43 – Jealousy

 

The sunset was short-lived, and soon the coastline turned dark. Qi Xi lowered his lips, and the last ray of light reflected the torn silver thread between their lips.

 

“We should go back.”

 

Fu Yanchuan took Qi Xi’s hand and carefully walked down the rock. They returned to the villa and had dinner. It was not that cold tonight. Qi Xi had to go for a walk, so he walked on the road outside the house for a while.

 

Qi Xi was still cold when he came back. He huddled in front of the fireplace and refused to move until he yawned. Fu Yanchuan put down his tablet computer where he was reading documents and pushed him up from his arms.

 

“Go take a shower and go to bed.”

 

He suddenly looked at Fu Yanchuan for a long time, then got off the sofa and said, “Then I’m going to take a shower. You should go as soon as I finish.”

 

Fu Yanchuan watched Qi Xi enter the bedroom. He didn’t go to get his tablet anymore. He got up and went back to the bedroom. He sat on the bed and waited for Qi Xi to come out of the shower.

 

Qi Xi didn’t expect Fu Yanchuan to be sitting there as he held on to the bathroom door. He jumped out without even fastening the belt of his bathrobe, and saw Fu Yanchuan tightening it subconsciously.

 

“Come over.”

 

Fu Yanchuan reached out to him, and he tugged on his bathrobe again before walking up to Fu Yanchuan. Fu Yanchuan held his hands on his waist and raised his face and asked him, “What are you thinking about?”

 

He suddenly climbed onto Fu Yanchuan’s lap and sat down, hugging Fu Yanchuan’s neck and lying in his arms.

 

In such a completely trusting and intimate posture, Fu Yanchuan unconsciously hugged the person tightly, and his voice naturally became gentle, “What’s going on?”

 

“I want to hug you.”

 

Qi Xi actually felt that he was too useless. Fu Yanchuan specially took him for a tour. They are staying in such a beautiful house, he must have wanted to sleep with him. But he actually fell ill just by looking at him. Fu Yanchuan didn’t dislike him, but was still so considerate of him and still treated him well. He felt very sorry for Fu Yanchuan.

 

“Okay, let’s sleep.”

 

Fu Yanchuan felt that the coldness from the bath was about to dissipate from Qi Xi’s body, so he picked him up and put him in bed.

 

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qi Xi quickly held his hand and said, “Brother Yan, come back quickly. I’m cold alone.”

 

Fu Yanchuan paused for a moment. He then leaned forward and almost kissed him, but only to touch his lips vaguely. He put his hand on his neck, gently rubbing his Adam’s apple with his fingertips. After a long time, he gently pecked his lips again. He pressed his lips lightly against his and said, “Go to sleep.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t know when Fu Yanchuan came to bed. When he woke up, Fu Yanchuan had already made breakfast in the kitchen.

 

After they finished breakfast, Fu Yanchuan took him to a seaside town.

 

The pure white building was covered with snow, and everything turned white at first glance. It was the first time Qi Xi saw such a place, and he was excited and ran around. Fu Yanchuan followed him slowly.

 

After visiting the town, he took many more photos, including the scenery and Fu Yanchuan.

 

Then they went to experience chasing the sea, but Fu Yanchuan only watched. Meanwhile, Qi Xi went to chase. Although, in the end he only picked up two dead starfish.

 

“It’s so cold.”

 

Qi Xi threw away the starfish and threw himself into Fu Yanchuan’s arms. He put his hand inside his coat, and Fu Yanchuan cooperated and let him put it in.

 

At noon, they ate seafood freshly caught from the sea, and then took a cruise. When they returned, Qi Xi thought that today’s arrangements were over, but he didn’t expect to find something different in the house when he entered.

 

The table is already set

 

An exquisite dinner with a large bouquet of fresh red roses in the middle and star lights hanging on the windows.

 

“Brother Yan, is it your birthday?”

 

Qi Xi stared at Fu Yanchuan curiously. Fu Yanchuan pushed him to sit down and said, “No.”

 

“What is this for then?”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t answer and left for the bedroom. After a while, he brought out a cello and sat across from Qi Xi.

 

Qi Xi immediately remembered that he said he wanted to hear Fu Yanchuan play the cello the day before yesterday, and the surprise was written on his face, “Brother Yan, are you specially prepared to come and play for me?”

 

Fu Yanchuan said nothing. He smiled at Qi Xi across the table and played. Instantly, the low and soft music of the cello filled the house.

 

Qi Xi didn’t understand music, he just thought it sounded good, and Fu Yanchuan played it exclusively for him. He couldn’t restrain the smile on his face and looked at him in admiration with his eyes.

 

Fu Yanchuan raised his eyes to meet Qi Xi’s eyes. This scene became the most beautiful scenery of his trip.

 

After the song ended, Fu Yanchuan put down his cello and walked up to Qi Xi. He leaned down and asked, “Do you like it?”

 

Qi Xi hooked Fu Yanchuan’s neck with both hands and replied: “I like it! Brother Yan, you played so beautifully. Can you play it again? I forgot to record it just now.”

 

If it was work and someone asked him to go through the procedure he just did, he would probably tell the person never to appear in front of him again.

 

But facing Qi Xi’s expectant eyes, he happily agreed, “Okay.”

 

Then, Fu Yanchuan listened to his own cello music all night long. Qi Xi would put his cell phone next to him while he was eating, and he would hold his cell phone to play while warming himself in front of the fireplace.

 

When he got tired of hearing it, Qi Xi came to him and said, “Brother Yan, why do you play so well! Am I the only one who listens to you playing the cello like this?”

 

“No.”

 

Qi Xi was disappointed for a moment, and then Fu Yanchuan continued: “The first one is my mother, and you are the second one.”

 

“That’s okay! The second one is also good. I’m so awesome!”

 

“What’s awesome?”

 

Qi Xi laughed. He leaned over and lay arrogantly on Fu Yanchuan’s lap and said, “It’s amazing that Brother Yan treats me so well! He’s the only one!”

 

Fu Yanchuan lowered his head and leaned close to Qi Xi, asking him, “What do you want to do?”

 

Qi Xi finally put down his cell phone. The cello was still playing. He blinked his peach blossom eyes like ripples and said, “Can I kiss you?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Fu Yanchuan stopped and waited, letting Qi Xi lift his neck and kiss him. Then he held Qi Xi’s head and leaned back deeply. His other hand clasped Qi Xi’s waist tightly as if it was branded there without touching other parts, but it was particularly hot.

 

Qi Xi felt that something was missing somewhere, so he touched Fu Yanchuan’s hand to put it into his clothes, but Fu Yanchuan caught him and held him there. And then Fu Yanchuan stirred it into his mouth even more wantonly, as if he wanted to just kiss him until he can’t get up anymore.

 

He couldn’t help but grab the clothes between Fu Yanchuan’s collar and trembled slightly, but Fu Yanchuan let go of him and moved up. The silver thread was torn off between their lips. He looked up and shouted softly.

 

“Brother Yan.”

 

Fu Yanchuan wiped the saliva with his fingertips, and then wiped it on his Adam’s apple. His breath wrapped around him like a tentacle, but he said to him with a soft lip tone: “It’s time to go. Go to sleep.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t move.

 

He didn’t let go. He just looked at him steadily, his hand still pressed against his and burned on his waist, squeezing between his fingers and clasping his hand tightly.

 

He gently rolled his Adam’s apple and slid it past Fu Yanchuan’s fingertips, and Fu Yanchuan finally helped him up.

 

“Go ahead.”

 

He felt Fu Yanchuan’s hand slowly let go of him before finally getting off the sofa.

 

Fu Yanchuan watched Qi Xi leave, but when he reached the door of the bedroom, Qi Xi suddenly ran back and sat on his lap. He hugged him and said, “Brother Yan, why don’t you cover my eyes so that I can’t see and I won’t be nervous?” ”

 

After Qi Xi finished speaking, he looked at Fu Yanchuan without moving. Fu Yanchuan suddenly covered his eyes with his hand. He put it to his lips and said, “You will regret it.”

 

He looked at Fu Yanchuan through Fu Yanchuan’s fingertips and asked in disbelief: “How do you know?”

 

Fu Yanchuan answered him after two seconds, “Qi Xi, do you think you are just going to watch?”

 

“I’ll take a shower!”

 

Qi Xi jumped down quickly and ran away without even looking at Fu Yanchuan this time.

 

The flight back was at noon. Qi Xi got up early and felt lazy again. Fu Yanchuan didn’t call him and let him sleep until he woke up naturally before packing his things and heading to the airport.

 

The day after Qi Xi left, Xie Hui returned to his country. After he returned, he had just expressed his thoughts to the Great Sage Qi Tian and immediately went to find Xie Hui.

 

Seeing that Qi Xi was so anxious to see him, Fu Yanchuan stopped him at the door and stared at him for a long time. In the end, he just said: “Come back soon.”

 

“No, I have a lot of things to tell Xie Hui. I won’t be back for dinner tonight, so don’t wait for me! Goodbye.”

 

After Qi Xi finished speaking, he put on his shoes and was about to leave. Fu Yanchuan pulled him back. He turned around and asked, “Do you want to come with me?”

 

Fu Yanchuan had been gone for a few days and had to go to the group to handle something, so he replied: “Let’s go downstairs together.”

 

Qi Xi finally left in no hurry. Seeing Fu Yanchuan put on his shoes extremely slowly, he couldn’t help but ask him, “Brother Yan, do your feet hurt?”

 

Fu Yanchuan squeezed his feet into the shoes, then took Qi Xi over and held him in his arms. He bit his lips and said, “Come back soon.”

 

Qi Xi replied awkwardly, “I’ll try to come as early as possible.”

 

Fu Yanchuan still looked dissatisfied. Qi Xi suddenly stood up on tiptoes and kissed Fu Yanchuan, “Don’t be like the Great Sage. It’s not like I won’t come back. You have to wait for me.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Fu Yanchuan still sounded dissatisfied, but finally let go of Qi Xi. When he got to the garage, he put Qi Xi into the car and watched the car drive away before turning around.

 

Qi Xi and Xie Hui made an appointment at a hot pot restaurant they often went to in high school. Xie Hui was waiting for him at the door of the store. He got out of the car and rushed towards He tackled Xie Hui and said: “Xie Hui, I miss you so much! Why have you grown taller again? Didn’t you promise to wait until I grow to the same height?”

 

Xie Hui felt that his neck was about to be strangled, so he slapped Qi Xi on the back, “Let go quickly. Do you want to murder me?!”

 

Qi Xi quickly let go and fell to the ground. He patted Xie Hui’s chest and said, “You’re still alive, and you can’t die!”

 

Xie Hui raised his hand as if to slap him. Qi Xi smiled at him without fear. His hand fell on Qi Xi’s head before he glanced at the car where Qi Xi was sitting and said, “Let’s go in. The food is ready.”

 

They didn’t have any money in high school, so Xie Hui worked part-time and saved money, buying paint and cat food for Qi Xi, and taking him to eat hot pot from time to time. Many times, he felt that Qi Xi was his son who was born too early.

 

Thei location was good. It was the corner where they used to sit. Qi Xi’s favorite dishes were cooking in the pot. As soon as Qi Xi sat down, Xie Hui handed him a soda with a straw inserted.

 

After he had gastroenteritis, Fu Yanchuan stopped letting him eat hot pot and drink soda. He immediately picked up the bottle and said to Xie Hui, “Quick, cheers!”

 

Xie Hui sat across from Qi Xi and touched the bottle with him, observing him. He looked better than before and seemed to be a little fatter. He couldn’t help but wonder if Fu Yanchuan was taking good care of him.

 

Qi Xi drank half a bottle of soda in one breath and began to talk to Xie Hui: “I just came back from that place called the sea. It snowed there and was by the sea. There were swans and the seafood was delicious! When do you want to go? I’ll take you to see the swans!”

 

He felt that what he said was not vivid enough, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and showed Xie Hui the photos he had taken in the past few days.

 

Xie Hui was responsible for cooking Qi Xi’s food with one hand, and flipped through the photos Qi Xi had taken with the other hand. At first, they were all landscapes and swans. He was very happy to look at them, until suddenly the next photo turned out to be Fu Yanchuan.

 

He instantly frowned and looked at Fu Yanchuan carefully. He had to say that he was really handsome. Qi Xi was not smart, but his aesthetics had always been very good. He couldn’t tell what was good about him, but Qi Xi had always been good at it. Whatever you choose, it must be pleasing to the eye and good-looking.

 

After seeing the photos taken by Qi Xi, he put down his phone. He stared at Qi Xi and asked, “Do you really like him?”

 

Qi Xi nodded while eating, “I like him, don’t you think he is really handsome?”

 

Xie Hui placed more ingredients into the pot and asked Qi Xi: “What do you like about him? Is he that handsome?”

 

“Yes! And he is good to me and teaches me many things. He is powerful and excellent. He can also play the cello.” Qi Xi spoke smoothly. 

 

Xie Hui took a new piece of tripe, boiled it, put it into Qi Xi’s bowl, and suddenly asked: “Then do you like me?”

 

Qi Xi nodded without hesitation, “I like you, are you jealous?”

 

Xie Hui was so angry that he drank a bottle of soda and burped before saying, “What’s the difference between you liking him and liking me?”

 

Qi Xi was stunned by the question. He didn’t even eat the food. He thought about it for a long time without an answer. He asked Xie Hui, “Is there any difference?”

 

Xie Hui stood up straight and jumped over the table, grabbing Qi Xi’s head and shaking it hard, “Qi Xi, you are an idiot, a big fool, you don’t know how to imitate other people’s feelings! You like him like shit! Go and talk to him to separate!”

 

“Stop shaking me. My brain is about to fall out!”

 

Qi Xi pulled Xie Hui’s hand off. Xie Hui sat back angrily, folded his arms and looked at him critically and said: “Like in love is different from like in friends. What’s the difference between liking him and liking me? You can’t even say it, which means you only like him because he is good to you and is handsome, and you are grateful to him. At most, you just treat him as a friend!”

 

“But -” he tilted his head in confusion and looked at Xie Hui seriously, “I will fall in love when he continues to kiss me!”

 

“What!”

 

Xie Hui slapped his palm on the table, startling everyone at the table next to them. Although he had already guessed that Fu Yanchuan could not be a gentleman and he only asked Qi Xi to be his substitute, he still couldn’t help but be furious after hearing it.

 

He tried hard to suppress his anger, walked closer to Qi Xi and said, “Idiot, men will get in trouble if they are licked by dogs! This is not normal!”

 

Qi Xi thought about it seriously, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He came closer to Xie Hui and whispered: “How about you kiss me?”

 

“Let’s try it? See if I will react? “

 

“Qi Xi! Believe it or not, I will whip you! You and he have both learned bad things!”

 

Xie Hui pushed Qi Xi back to his position and was so angry that he kept boiling vegetables for Qi Xi until Qi Xi’s bowl could no longer be filled and he calmed down.

 

Qi Xi didn’t think about anything at all, and he was still eating happily. He was so excited that he shouted to him: “I want to drink more soda, Xie Hui.”

 

He silently went to get a bottle of soda, opened it, inserted the straw and handed it over. He calmed down and asked, “Let me change the question, does he like you?”

 

“Are you asking about Brother Yan?”

 

“Yes! Brother Yan!”

 

Qi Xi nodded firmly, “Of course he likes me!”

 

But after saying that, he suddenly lost confidence and asked Xie Hui, “He must like me if he is so nice to me, right? Otherwise, why would he only find me as a substitute? He must be the one who likes me, right?”

 

Xie Hui took a deep breath before saying: “Are you stupid? Of course he wants you as a substitute because he likes his first love! He is only good to you because of his first love. And even if he likes you, it’s just because you look like someone else! Listen to me, go back and break up with him!”

 

“But, but–“

 

Qi Xi was filled with reluctance and said to Xie Hui: “He promised me that he would not let me go, and I can’t leave him. And I am a substitute, so there is nothing wrong with him liking me because I am his substitute! He also took me there to look at the swans. He also played the cello to me alone, he didn’t play it to his first love! I was the second one besides his mother!”

 

Xie Hui immediately cursed hard in his heart. This was completely because he really liked that person named Fu. He didn’t know what to say for a moment, but how could a fool like Qi Xi, who had only one brain, play with it? Curse Fu Yanchuan.

 

He thought for a long time and asked Qi Xi, “What if one day his first love comes back? Are you sure he will still choose you?”

 

Qi Xi was stunned and turned into a puppet. He never thought about this possibility. He stared at Xie Hui and said in realization: “Yes! There is such a plot in the comics! If his first love comes back and wants to fight, what should I do if I was the one who robbed him?”

 

“How do I know what to do with you?”

 

Qi Xi took two sips of the soda angrily, continued to eat the food and said, “It’s okay. If Brother Yan insists on being with his first love, I won’t be his substitute, simple!”

 

Xie Hui was afraid that Qi Xi couldn’t do it as simple as he said. Qi Xi didn’t seem to care about anything, but in fact he was very stubborn.

 

He just saw that Qi Xi was in too much pain, so he told the teacher. But from then on, Qi Xi had no reservations about him. If there was only one steamed bun left at the end of the world, he would give it to him first.

 

He didn’t believe that a person of Fu Yanchuan’s level could have true love that would last forever. Even if Fu Yanchuan really liked Qi Xi, he would probably get tired of him soon. He told Qi Xi, “He might be nice to you now, but he doesn’t really like you. You’d better leave him as soon as possible, otherwise you’ll be so sad when his first love really comes back!”

 

“I won’t!”

 

Qi Xi didn’t listen to Xie Hui’s words because Xie Hui liked to nag him. He regarded what Xie Hui said to him as music.

 

Later, when they talked about how he made money by painting, Xie Hui finally stopped talking about him and praised him proudly for a long time.

 

He proudly said to Xie Hui: “Brother Qi Xi will support you from now on. Just tell me what you want!”

 

Xie Hui looked at him for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became wet. He turned around and wiped his eyes before looking back, “I don’t want anything, I just hope you will be as happy as you are now!”

 

“That won’t work!”

 

Qi Xi firmly refused. After finishing the hot pot, he dragged Xie Hui to the mall. He wanted to buy everything Xie Hui glanced at.

 

Xie Hui followed behind and kept playing back. Finally, Qi Xi bought a bunch of them and insisted on taking them back. Xie Hui reluctantly took them and sent Qi Xi back to the community.

 

When he left, he couldn’t help but tell Qi Xi, “You have to remember that the one who falls in love first loses. Even if you want to be with Fu Yanchuan, you must not fall in love with him.”

 

Qi Xi tilted his head, “What is the difference between love and like?”

 

Xie Hui said with some relief: “It’s better that you never know the difference, then you win.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t want to compete with Fu Yanchuan, so he answered Xie Hui perfunctorily and sent Xie Hui to take a taxi before going upstairs.

 

It was almost nine o’clock in the evening. Qi Xi entered the house humming a song. When he saw Fu Yanchuan in the living room, he immediately ran over and jumped on him.

 

“Brother Yan, I’m back!”

 

Fu Yanchuan smelled the hot pot smell on Qi Xi and took off his coat, “Did you have fun with Xie Hui?”

 

“I am happy.”

 

Qi Xi couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes, “The last time I saw Xie Hui was during the summer vacation. He didn’t come back the year he first went there. I haven’t seen him in a year! He actually grew taller. He was obviously taller before. If you are as short as me, do you think the food in foreign countries is different? By the way, he even brought me gifts!”

 

Qi Xi said and went to get the gift that Xie Hui had brought for him. Fu Yanchuan held his hand and said, “I didn’t ask so many questions.”

 

“Then what do you want me to say?”

 

Fu Yanchuan brought Qi Xi over and sat him on his lap before saying, “Say you miss me.”

 

Qi Xi answered very honestly: “But I didn’t even think of you.”

 

His hand suddenly tightened around his waist while he brought the other close to Qi Xi’s lips. Fu Yanchuan made him suck it gently, “I thought of you.”
