Chapter 65 – Freedom

 

The weather in Huocheng had already shown signs of summer by May. The sun jumped into the window early in the morning, and the dim warm light filtered through the heavy curtains, shining through the corners of the wall and illuminating the darkness in the room.

 

Qi Xi was awake, but he stood with his back to Fu Yanchuan, motionless, pretending to be still asleep.

 

“Xixi.”

 

Fu Yanchuan finally couldn’t help but move closer and hug Qi Xi tightly from behind. He knew it when Qi Xi just woke up. The person in his arms suddenly tensed up, and there was no way he doesn’t notice it.

 

He hoped that Qi Xi would say something to him, but after waiting for a long time, Qi Xi didn’t even move. He really had no idea if he was being disliked again. This was the first time he had complaints about his body. If possible, he didn’t want to look like that.

 

Qi Xi still didn’t say anything. He held the man in his arms tightly with both hands. When he was sure that he couldn’t run away, he kissed the back of his neck gently, “Pay attention to me, okay?”

 

“What did you say?”

 

Qi Xi pretended that he had just woken up. He rubbed his eyes deliberately and turned his head towards Fu Yanchuan, but he couldn’t hide his face which turned red instantly. He subconsciously wanted to move away from Fu Yanchuan, but he didn’t move away at all. His mind instantly replayed what happened last night.

 

After he nodded, Fu Yanchuan kissed him and removed his pajamas. When the last covering was about to be pulled away, Qi Xi pulled hard and looked at Fu Yanchuan.

 

“Don’t be afraid, I will be very careful.”

 

Listening to Fu Yanchuan’s extremely gentle voice, Qi Xi let go of his hand Fu Yanchuan leaned down again, kissing him while reaching into the bedside table with one hand to take out the lubricating tool.

 

He never knew there was such a thing in Fu Yanchuan’s room. Fu Yanchuan even pressed his lips against his and asked, “What did you use just now?”

 

Qi Xi turned away, too embarrassed to say anything. Fu Yanchuan looked at him as if he was going to answer. Qi Xi hid his face and then responded “Saliva.”

 

Fu Yanchuan’s Adam’s apple suddenly rolled vigorously, sticking to his lips to his and stirring his tongue in fiercely. After the water stains were fully stained with each other, a silver thread was pulled out from between their lips. Fu Yanchuan wiped it with his fingers and touched it to his fingertips before turning on the tool.

 

“Brother Yan.”

 

He subconsciously called Fu Yanchuan, but he didn’t know what to say. Only his eyelashes kept trembling. Fu Yanchuan suddenly picked him up, switched positions with him, let him sit on top with his back to the headboard. He looked at him quietly and asked: “Is it all right?”

 

He felt that Fu Yanchuan looked too calm and he was the only one blushing, which made him feel unhappy. However, he was too embarrassed to do anything, so he just nodded after being stunned for a long time.

 

Fu Yanchuan immediately came over to kiss him, then slid his hand along his skin. His fingers slowly moved forward when they found their target and finally were deeply trapped. Fu Yanchuan finally exhaled his scorching breath, and asked with only lip sounds left: “Xixi, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

 

He couldn’t answer, but he stared at Fu Yanchuan with his eyes like boiling water. Fu Yanchuan seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something, and he no longer restrained himself.

 

“Brother Yan, Brother——”

 

Qi Xi couldn’t help trembling. Fu Yanchuan hugged him tightly and kissed him comfortingly. Qi Xi threw himself on Fu Yanchuan weakly, and Fu Yanchuan’s dirty clothes also stained him.

 

Fu Yanchuan leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Xixi, are you feeling comfortable?”

 

How could he answer? Fu Yanchuan continued, until he felt blocked by Fu Yanchuan, and he stretched out his arms nervously.

 

He got up and looked at Fu Yanchuan.

 

“Xixi——”

 

Fu Yanchuan called him hoarsely and said to him, “Don’t be nervous, relax, okay?”

 

Qi Xi didn’t know how to relax. All the nerves in his body were tense. Fu Yanchuan gently licked his Adam’s apple and said coaxingly, “Be good, don’t be afraid.”

 

He finally nodded gently and then unprecedented sensory feedback slowly crept into his brain, causing his limbs to stiffen instantly.

 

“Xixi!”

 

Fu Yanchuan felt the person in his arms suddenly become more tense, and he quickly moved closer to comfort him. Last night, they only went for foreplay, and Qi Xi was already crying with tears in his eyes. He quickly gave up, hugged him and coaxed him for a long time.

 

Qi Xi refused to say anything. He buried his face in his neck and cried so aggrievedly that it made him feel distressed. In fact, he could probably guess that Qi Xi might not like men himself. Even if he accepted him emotionally, there was still a physical barrier between them.

 

But he didn’t dare ask, for fear that his question would reveal Qi Xi’s instinctive aversion to the same sex, so he just held him in his arms all night.

 

After a whole night, Qi Xi still had the same reaction. 

 

Fu Yanchuan panicked. He carefully turned the man over, pressed him tightly against him and said, “You said last night that you wouldn’t ignore me.”

 

“I don’t–“

 

Qi Xi finally raised his eyes and met his gaze, “–I’m not ignoring you, it’s just that when I see you I feel like there’s something else, something–“

 

Fu Yanchuan looked at the man for a long time before asking tentatively, “Is it annoying?”

 

Qi Xi quickly looked away again, “No, it’s, it’s so weird!”

 

Fu Yanchuan finally heard an answer that made him feel a little relieved, and chased to Qi Xi’s lips and asked: “So, you don’t hate it, right?”

 

Qi Xi nodded. So Fu Yanchuan then dared to ask carefully: “Can we try again next time?”

 

“Will it be okay to try a few more times? Because you’re so—”

 

Qi Xi was too embarrassed to continue, so Fu Yanchuan leaned close to his ear and whispered, “The doctor said that as long as you get used to the feeling, the size compatibility is still relatively large. Can we get used to our fingers first?”

 

“When did you go see the doctor?”

 

“While you were asleep.”

 

Qi Xi’s voice suddenly dropped again, “Did the doctor say how long it would take to get used to it?”

 

Fu Yanchuan looked at Qi Xi’s red ears and felt relieved. He was sure that Qi Xi really didn’t hate him. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly, “The doctor said that you will get used to it after doing it a few times.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Qi Xi replied as if to agree with him, and he felt distressed again, “Xi Xi, don’t say yes, just reject me if you don’t like it.”

 

“I like it!”

 

Qi Xi suddenly hugged his neck and confided, “Brother Yan, I like you. I want to be good to you, want to make you happy, want to do things that you like, and I will be responsible for making you happy.”

 

Fu Yanchuan couldn’t say anything for a while, and after a long time he asked: “Did Uncle Quan say anything to you?”

 

“No.”

 

Qi Xi was very true to his promise and answered without hesitation, but he was too bad at lying. Fu Yanchuan could see it at a glance. He didn’t want to gain Qi Xi’s sympathy by using his shameful past. He just wanted Qi Xi to be obsessed with him, both with his feelings and his body.

 

In the end, Fu Yanchuan skipped the topic and asked, “Are you hungry?”

 

After sleeping for a long time, his stomach had already growled. He nodded, and Fu Yanchuan carried him to the bathroom.

 

Today, Fu Yanchuan finally stopped working overtime. After breakfast, they found a movie to watch together.

 

Qi Xi thought Fu Yanchuan was just taking a break today, but Fu Yanchuan was free for the next half month. He was even sent to work in the morning, but his colleagues would go to have lunch with him at noon, which made them worry that the free lunch was about to end.

 

Half a month later, the internal strife of the Fu family finally ended, and the news spread so widely that even Qi Xi, who had never paid attention to the news in this regard, saw it first.

 

Fu Zhenrong was detained and investigated for financial issues, resigned as chairman of the group, and his shares were auctioned off.

 

At the same time, Fu Yanchuan was removed from his position as executive president by the board of directors because he had caused losses and turmoil to the group. The new chairman was Fu Yanchuan’s sixth uncle, Fu Jinshen.

 

This is a result that many people did not expect, but it is not surprising at all.

 

Fu Yanchuan’s attitude during this period was to sink the entire group and Fu Zhenrong together, so it was normal for the board of directors to no longer trust him. But based on Fu Yanchuan’s previous style of doing things, he should have kicked out the shareholders who didn’t trust him from the board of directors, but Fu Yanchuan had no objection to being dismissed and left decisively.

 

However, some people analyzed that Fu Yanchuan and Fu Jinshen were originally using each other, and Fu Jinshen was concerned about Fu Yanchuan, so he used the name of the board of directors to drive Fu Yanchuan away.

 

Fu Yanchuan left so decisively because he knew that if he stayed, Fu Jinshen would deal with him. Moreover, the stock price fell this time and the group’s assets shrunk seriously. It was a better choice for Fu Yanchuan to give up the hot potato.

 

In fact, resigning was also part of Fu Yanchuan’s plan. As many people know, if he stayed, Fu Jinshen would find ways to get rid of him. The principle of “the dog is cooked after the rabbit is dead” is obvious.

 

He returned to his office to pack up his things and found that there were few personal belongings that had belonged to him after all these years.

 

He found the photo of Qiao Ye in the bottom drawer of his desk, picked it up, looked at it twice, and threw it into the trash can.

 

In the end, he only took away the two paintings painted by Qi Xi.

 

The people in the President’s Office have been following Fu Yanchuan for several years. It is hard to say how much they like Fu Yanchuan as a leader, but although Fu Yanchuan is like an emotionless machine at work, it is precisely because of this that he treats his subordinates more fairly and objectively. Those with ability will naturally get more opportunities, and they don’t need to engage in office politics. This may not be the case if it were someone else.

 

So many people don’t want Fu Yanchuan to leave. The one who doesn’t want Fu Yanchuan to leave the most is Zhou Zhiwei. She didn’t expect that Fu Yanchuan would really choose to suffer losses together with his father. She didn’t know who the next president would be, and whether he would treat her as a minister of the previous dynasty and execute her.

 

When Fu Yanchuan arrived at the garage, his cell phone rang. He put the painting in the trunk first, got in the car and closed the door before answering the phone.

 

“Boss Fu, is everything going well?”

 

He had never felt so relaxed until today, and even his voice became cheerful as he answered, “What’s so bad about being driven away? But Mr. Shao is in a good mood.”

 

“Of course not. You will know the happiness of a newlywed when you get married one day.”

 

Fu Yanchuan thought for two seconds and said, “I really want to try it.”

 

This shocked Mr. Shao on the other side, “Are you serious? Who could kidnap you? I don’t believe it.”

 

“You’ll know when you come to the wedding.”

 

“The wedding wine could wait, just keep your promise to me.”

 

Fu Yanchuan smiled and said quickly. But before that he needs to take a vacation.

 

“Why are you taking a vacation when there’s such a big chessboard in front of you?”

 

“I’ll accompany my Xixi. The chess pieces won’t run away by themselves anyway.”

 

“You are so confident.”

 

“Same here.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t know what Fu Yanchuan was up to. When he saw the news online, he felt that Fu Yanchuan was unemployed and bankrupt. He was suddenly distracted while painting and started to think that if Fu Yanchuan really went bankrupt, would the money he earned be able to support him, Fu Yanchuan and the Great Sage?

 

It seems a bit difficult, the monthly salary of their chef alone is tens of thousands. Although he can eat anything, Fu Yanchuan can’t.

 

He leaned over the easel and sighed, “It’s so expensive to support Fu Yanchuan!”

 

“Mr. Qixi, would you like something to drink?”

 

Huang Shilin finished reading the gossip on the Internet and came over to comfort Qi Xi. Seeing Qi Xi sighing, she asked again: “Do you want some snacks? Or should I get you  the cat to play with?”

 

“I don’t want.”

 

Qi Xi replied: “I want to make money!”

 

“Ah?” Huang Shilin didn’t understand, Qi Xi explained, “Brother Yan is unemployed, I have to make more money in the future, otherwise I won’t even be able to afford a chef.”

 

Huang Shilin was even more confused. As an ordinary, poor person, she didn’t know why he had to have a chef.

 

But seeing Qi Xi’s listless look, she still comforted him, “You don’t have to worry too much. At least Mr. Fu hasn’t been arrested. You don’t have to go to the detention center to see him.”

 

“Will he still be arrested?”

 

Qi Xi jumped up, and Cheng Shu came in just in time to hear it, and kicked Huang Shilin away.

 

“Is there anyone as comforting as you?”

 

Huang Shilin retorted, “What’s wrong with me?”

 

Cheng Shu forced her out of the door and looked at Qi Xi.

 

“Director Cheng, Brother Yan wouldn’t really be arrested, right?”

 

Cheng Shu looked at Qi Xi’s expression and was almost drowned by his own uneasiness. Selfishly speaking, he hoped that Qi Xi could stay away from Fu Yanchuan. Fu Yanchuan’s circle was too complicated for Qi Xi, and he could not escape from the interests of exploiting him.

 

Although he didn’t know what happened between Fu Yanchuan and his father, he could at least see that in the fight that had lasted for several months in the Fu family, no one was a good person, it was just a matter of weighing interests.

 

He didn’t want Qi Xi to be tainted or even involved in those conflicts of interest, so he comforted him, “Don’t worry, there’s no way he’ll let anything happen to you. Maybe in a few months, he’ll change his identity and the entire Fu family will fall into his hands.”

 

It’s not that he understood the truth behind it, but he felt that with the amount of consideration Fu Yanchuan put into Qi Xi, he would not end up with nothing.

 

But Qi Xi didn’t believe Cheng Shu’s words. Seeing him like this, Cheng Shu couldn’t help but said, “You should get off work first.”

 

Qi Xi immediately bowed to express his gratitude, then ran away without even lifting his waist.

 

Looking at his anxious back, Cheng Shu sincerely hoped that Fu Yanchuan was not acting on impulse, otherwise Qi Xi would probably never get over this stubborn mind. If Qi Xi’s spirit was worn away by a broken heart, it would be a pity for countless people.

 

Qi Xi went downstairs and called Fu Yanchuan. He originally wanted to ask where Fu Yanchuan was, but Fu Yanchuan asked him to wait there.

 

He waited for less than ten minutes before Fu Yanchuan’s car drove up to him.

 

He thought Fu Yanchuan must be very sad now, so he sat in the car and wanted to comfort Fu Yanchuan. However, as soon as he closed the car door, Fu Yanchuan moved the seat back and pulled him into the driver’s seat.

 

“Brother Yan, what are you doing?”

 

Qi Xi was afraid that someone would see him, so he nervously looked outside the car, but Fu Yanchuan forced him to turn his face back, and he finally saw Fu Yanchuan’s expression clearly.

 

“Why are you so happy?”

 

Fu Yanchuan couldn’t tell Qi Xi why he was so happy. Maybe it was because the shackles that had been on him for so many years were finally opened, maybe it was because he finally saw Fu Zhenrong’s panicked and regretful expression, or maybe it was because he finally experienced the freedom that Qi Xi talked about.

 

Nothing will constrain him from now on, and he doesn’t need to be someone else’s in the eyes of others. He is just himself.

 

“Xixi.”

 

Fu Yanchuan told Qi Xi with all the affection in his heart, “Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life.”
