MFMBSA 77

Chapter 77 – Miss

 

After Qi Xi’s birthday, the studio became busy, but he was free because the original painting part was almost completed in the middle and late stages. However, he was interested in the whole process, so when he had nothing to do, he would go to Cheng Shu to learn.

 

Cheng Shu accepted Fu Yanchuan’s investment, but apart from him, no one in the studio knew that the real boss behind the new company he had invested in was Fu Yanchuan.

 

Making animation is a very time-consuming process. There is no shortcut. The more refined you want to make it, the higher the cost will be, both in terms of time and money.

 

His initial funding was already limited, and he wanted to finish half of the work and then use the work to attract investment. However, the current animation film market is too risky, and a work that takes several years to make may not necessarily have a proportional return. He looked for investors, but they could not support the entire film to the level of the first half, so he finally found Fu Yanchuan.

 

Fu Yanchuan is still very generous, but the price is that Fu Yanchuan became the largest investor in the entire animation, and he has absolute say, becoming more unscrupulous, especially now that he is close to them. Sometimes he even brings his assistant to work here, making some people think that his studio has been acquired.

 

Qi Xi didn’t think too much about it. He thought that Fu Yanchuan and Cheng Shu had finally become friends, so Cheng Shu didn’t say that Fu Yanchuan came to the office.

 

He only draws on paper, and the computer equipment is basically only used for scanning. Now it has become Fu Yanchuan’s desk, so they feel like they are at home, each doing their own thing on one side.

 

And so the time came to the end of the year.

 

Fu Yanchuan specially scheduled the annual meeting on an island, intending to take Qi Xi with him. However, Qi Xi had his own annual meeting and refused to go with him. He did not want to be separated from Qi Xi and changed the meeting to one in the city. The island hotel he had booked was transformed into an employee benefit.

 

Qi Xi’s annual meeting was held in a hipster-style inn in the suburbs. There wasn’t much to report, just everyone having fun together for two days.

 

Fu Yanchuan directly asked Cheng Shu to include him, but because he had a temporary job, Qi Xi asked him to go to work first and he was unable to go.

 

Then his separation anxiety came back and he felt bad the whole day. He finally got through work and called Qi Xi, but Qi Xi didn’t answer.

 

He couldn’t remember when it started, he and Qi Xi had hardly been apart for more than a day, and they had never been so far apart, which made him feel as if Qi Xi would never come back. He couldn’t wait even a second, and drove for more than three hours overnight to the inn where Qi Xi was holding the annual meeting.

 

Qi Xi thought that annual meetings would be like those of the Fu Yanchuan Group, where everyone had to perform and he had even prepared a program. But he found out that there was actually another way to hold an annual meeting, where everyone played games, had barbecues, gossiped, and watched animations together.

 

He had a great time the whole day and even forgot to answer Fu Yanchuan’s call. When he remembered to call back, Fu Yanchuan was already unhappy. He coaxed him for a long time, but Fu Yanchuan only replied that he was driving.

 

“Oh, then you go ahead, I’m hanging up.”

 

Qi Xi hung up the phone and lay alone in a strange room. He didn’t notice it when there were many people around, but now he finally felt lonely. He hadn’t been alone like this for a long time, not even his cat was there.

 

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He buried his face in the pillow, but could not find Fu Yanchuan’s scent. He instantly became uneasy, but Fu Yanchuan was driving, and he was afraid that the call would disturb Fu Yanchuan.

 

“Fu Yanchuan, I miss you. “

 

Qi Xi murmured to himself. After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door. He crawled out from under the pillow and heard Fu Yanchuan’s voice through the door.

 

“Xixi, open the door.”

 

He immediately jumped out of bed, opened the door and saw Fu Yanchuan. It was as if they had not seen each other for years. He completely ignored Fu Yanchuan’s coldness and rushed over to him, wrapping his limbs around him with his sleeves sliding down his arms, as if he didn’t feel the cold in the howling wind.

 

“Xixi, come inside. It’s cold outside.”

 

Fu Yanchuan tried hard to pull back Qi Xi’s fallen sleeve, but it was of no use. Qi Xi hung on him and refused to let go, so he had to pick him up and close the door with his foot.

 

The room is not very big. It is in antique wooden style, simple and artistic, but the floor heating is sufficient. You can feel the warmth as soon as you close the door.

 

Qi Xi was finally let go after Fu Yanchuan put him on the bed. Fu Yanchuan took off his coat and got on the bed. He hugged him and covered him with the quilt then leaned against his lips and asked, “Why didn’t you answer my call?”

 

He didn’t listen to Fu Yanchuan’s question at all. He raised his chin slightly and kissed Fu Yanchuan’s lips. Fu Yanchuan wanted to kiss him, but Qi Xi shrank back and buried his head in Fu Yanchuan’s arms, saying with grievance: “Why did you come just now? I missed you so much. I can’t sleep alone. Fu Yanchuan, do you know how much I miss you?”

 

Fu Yanchuan knew very well that Qi Xi did not deliberately ignore his call. It was just that he could not control his bad desire for control and thought too much.

 

He dug the head out from his arms, stared at it for a long time before saying, “Xixi, I miss you, too.”

 

“How much do you want it?”

 

Qi Xi asked a question that Fu Yanchuan liked to ask. Fu Yanchuan found it difficult to answer. He turned over and used the most passionate kiss to express how much he missed him. He might not be able to leave Qi Xi in this life. It was less than a day, and he felt like he was going crazy. If Qi Xi was farther away, he might really go crazy.

 

“Xixi——”

 

He tasted every part of Qi Xi’s mouth, held the silver thread that he hadn’t broken for a long time, stared at him for a long time and said, “Don’t go out without me anymore, okay?”

 

Qi Xi circled his limbs upwards and nodded his head in response: “Well, don’t leave me either. I can’t sleep alone. Fu Yanchuan, I really love you!”

 

The sudden confession penetrated Fu Yanchuan’s body. He pressed himself tightly against Qi Xi, put his hand into her pajamas and asked, “Xixi, can we do it?”

 

“You touched me already.”

 

Fu Yanchuan smiled slightly and lowered his head to kiss him again. Qi Xi’s lips were sucked by him until they were like red roses covered with dew. He breathed warm air around his lips and called his name.

 

“Fu Yanchuan——”

 

“Another.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t understand what to change, so Fu Yanchuan said, “endearment.”

 

He simply blinked, pressed Fu Yanchuan’s neck down, and called in Fu Yanchuan’s ear: “Brother Yanyan.”

 

It was not quite what Fu Yanchuan wanted to hear, but it made him even less willing to be gentle. He tried to restrain himself and continued until he stripped off Qi Xi’s pajamas and suddenly asked, “Xixi, is the room soundproof?”

 

Qi Xi had never thought about this question and shook his head. Fu Yanchuan squeezed his fingers in and whispered in his ear, “Then keep your voice down.”

 

“…You too, be gentle!”

 

“I can’t.”

 

Fu Yanchuan replied unreasonably, in fact, Qi Xi could not bear it even more than Fu Yanchuan. Since the first time, he had really become a pervert. He would often feel extremely ashamed, but at the same time he would actively tease Fu Yanchuan, and in the end he was the one who cried.

 

The next day, Qi Xi’s colleague who lived next door to the inn staff said, “Do they have rats here? I kept hearing creaking noises in the wall until after 2 a.m.!”

 

The staff member was about to investigate out of professional responsibility, and saw Qi Xi and Fu Yanchuan coming out of the room together.

 

Everyone understood what was going on in an instant, but they didn’t know when Fu Yanchuan came. However, they didn’t dare to ask more questions, so they quickly stopped the staff and reminded them that the sound insulation of the house was not very good and the bed was not very firm.

 

Qi Xi knew nothing and brought Fu Yanchuan to attend their annual meeting. Fu Yanchuan very abruptly played a game of who was the undercover among them. No matter what word was used to describe it, it was always unique and became a very new type of joke.

 

But no one dared to laugh at him openly. Qi Xi even hugged his neck and praised him: “Fu Yanchuan, your description is so unique, how come you are so amazing!”

 

For a moment, the others didn’t know whether the dog food was more unpalatable or it was more uncomfortable to hold back their laughter.

 

The Chinese New Year came soon after they returned from the annual meeting. On New Year’s Eve, Fu Yanchuan took Qi Xi to the sanatorium again. However, Lin Xianjing’s condition had not improved. No matter how many times he visited her, she still didn’t recognize them when they met again next time.

 

They stayed for one night and had breakfast with Lin Xianjing the next morning before leaving.

 

The Fu family’s party on the third day of the New Year was cancelled because of the group’s affairs. Fu Yanchuan didn’t want to go in the first place. He planned to take Qi Xi on vacation somewhere after returning from the sanatorium. As a result, Qi Zhounan came again on the first night of the New Year.

 

Qi Zhounan was put upstairs by Qi Xi. As soon as he entered the room, he hugged him and started to complain, “Brother, Dad is back. The woman he found outside is pregnant again. He quarreled with my mom every day. I’m going crazy! Can you take me in?”

 

Qi Xi had almost forgotten that he had a father. When he heard Qi Zhounan talking about it, it sounded like gossip about the neighbors next door and he felt nothing.

 

Qi Zhounan stared at him in disbelief. “You don’t have anything to say? Maybe someone else will come out to share the inheritance with you soon. Aren’t you angry?”

 

“Why should I be angry? He certainly didn’t think of leaving me any inheritance, and he’s only in his forties, so he won’t die for decades at least.”

 

Qi Zhounan was convinced by the last reason and continued to cry, “No matter what happens to him, I don’t want to go back to that home anymore. Please take me in, brother.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t want to take Qi Zhounan in. Although he felt that his status this year was different from last year, Qi Zhounan’s presence here greatly affected his and Fu Yanchuan’s world of two. He hesitated whether to let Qi Zhounan live downstairs again, but that was Fu Yanchuan’s house, and he couldn’t ask Fu Yanchuan to let Qi Zhounan live there without Fu Yanchuan asking, so he turned his head and looked at Fu Yanchuan.

 

Qi Zhounan saw Qi Xi looking at Fu Yanchuan and immediately became dissatisfied, “Aren’t you with him? Doesn’t that mean he is my brother-in-law, and you are also the owner of this family. I am your brother, why can’t you take me in?”

 

Fu Yanchuan always thought Qi Zhounan was annoying. Like Xie Hui, he would talk nonsense with Qi Xi whenever he had nothing to do. He had been petting his orange cat while listening to the two of them talking. He was finally pleased by the words “He is my brother-in-law”. He glanced at Qi Zhounan and said, “Xixi, I have something for you.”

 

“What?”

 

Qi Xi was like a fish that saw the bait and was immediately hooked by Fu Yanchuan.

 

Qi Zhounan was left at the door, so he found his own shoes and changed them before going into the house. Why should he have to look at his brother-in-law’s mood in his brother’s house!

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t care at all that there was a minor next to him. He pulled Qi Xi over and made him sit on his lap. When Qi Xi tried to escape, he held him tightly, as if he didn’t notice Qi Zhounan coming over. He stuffed a key into Qi Xi’s hand.

 

Qi Xi couldn’t get up, and his attention fell on the key, “Whose key is this?”

 

“Your grandfather’s house is now returned to you.”

 

“For real!”

 

In a moment of excitement, Qi Xi bumped into Fu Yanchuan’s chin. He quickly leaned over and blew on it, “I’m sorry, does it hurt?”

 

Qi Zhounan gritted his teeth as he watched. He knew very well that Fu Yanchuan was willing to do this because he wanted him to see that Qi Xi cared more about him than his own brother.

 

He was unwilling to accept it and thought that if he was not younger than Qi Xi, if he was Qi Xi’s brother, he would never let Qi Xi and Fu Yanchuan be together.

 

Qi Xi finished coaxing Fu Yanchuan’s chin and asked him, “How did you get the house back?”

 

“Your uncle gave it back to you.”

 

Qi Xi doubted it for a moment, but thinking that it was the house his grandfather left him, and his uncle gave it to him as a matter of course, he didn’t think about it anymore, forgetting that there was Qi Zhounan next to him. He rubbed against Fu Yanchuan’s arms and acted coquettishly, “Fu Yanchuan, you are so good. How can I thank you?”

 

Fu Yanchuan did not tell Qi Xi that he was actually the one who bought the house back. He had it for more than half a year, but he was afraid that Qi Xi would move out after getting the house, so he never gave it to Qi Xi.

 

But now he had the confidence, and he glanced at Qi Zhounan and said, “I don’t know what the house looked like originally. After it has been renovated, it can be lived in directly. Let him live there.”

 

Qi Xi turned around and saw Qi Zhounan behind him. He felt that Fu Yanchuan was too thoughtful, so he quickly jumped off Fu Yanchuan and handed the key to Qi Zhounan, “Do you know where it is? You can stay as long as you want. You’re welcome.”

 

——Who wants to be polite to you!

 

Qi Zhounan was so angry that he was about to die. He had thought about living there before, but the prerequisite was to live with Qi Xi. But now if Qi Xi didn’t go, what was the point of him living there alone?!

 

He glared at Fu Yanchuan fiercely, clenched the key tightly without saying anything, and said through gritted teeth: “I’ll come back for dinner tomorrow!”

 

“Why?”

 

Qi Xi couldn’t understand, but Qi Zhounan answered confidently: “Isn’t it okay for me to come and wish my brother a happy new year? Do you not want me as your brother anymore now that you have a man?”

 

Qi Xi was even more confused and answered bluntly: “I have no reason to want you. You and I are not from the same family!”

 

Qi Zhounan’s sore spot was touched. He didn’t understand it when he was a child, but now he understands very well that his existence is a kind of harm to Qi Xi. If it were someone else, let alone treating him like Qi Xi, not bullying him would be the greatest kindness.

 

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to get closer to Qi Xi, the only ray of sunshine in his gutter-like life.

 

He rushed over and hugged Qi Xi again, saying stubbornly: “No matter what, I’ll leave today and come back tomorrow.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t know what Qi Zhounan was thinking, so he pushed him away and said, “Why are you getting more and more annoying? Go away!”

 

Qi Zhounan left. He felt that if he didn’t leave, he might have to fight with Fu Yanchuan.

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t know what happened between Qi Zhounan and Qi Xi, but he could guess what Qi Zhounan was thinking.

 

After everyone left, he pulled Qi Xi over and pressed him into the corner of the sofa, then asked, “Are you so close to him?”

 

Qi Xi is now very good at coaxing Fu Yanchuan, especially when Fu Yanchuan is jealous, he takes the initiative to kiss Fu Yanchuan on the lips and says: “Fu Yanchuan and I have the best relationship.”

 

Fu Yanchuan lost his temper, pressed the person down and kissed him, turning his paranoid emotions into lustful possession and telling Qi Xi about it.

 

Qi Xi sank into the sofa, panting slightly and said, “Fu Yanchuan, thank you.”

 

“No need to thank me.”

 

Qi Xi’s fingertips gently brushed across Fu Yanchuan’s lips that were stained with his saliva, and he smiled, “Meeting you is the luckiest thing that happened in my life.”
