God has its own way of retribution, and no one can escape it.
Xia Xiqing, who had rowed for 25 years without using oars, never thought that he would have a day of overturning, and in front of Xu Qichen. He broke free from Zhou Ziheng's arms and wiped his mouth randomly, "That... that... Chenchen, listen to my explanation..."
"He's willing to listen to your explanation." Zhou Ziheng stretched out his hand and twisted his chin, pointing at Xu Qichen, who was shirtless, "What about me? You won't explain to me?"
Xia Xiqing coughed twice because of being choked, "You... you wait a moment..."
"Why should I wait?" Zhou Ziheng looked dissatisfied, and simply untied the tie that Xia Xiqing had just torn apart, and took off his coat and threw it on the cabinet in the entrance. Xia Xiqing didn't bother to talk, and reached out to touch his waist like touching the back of a puppy. This soothing gesture made Zhou Ziheng very happy.
Xu Qichen took a few steps back awkwardly, grabbed a small blanket on the sofa and draped it over himself. Only then did he feel more comfortable. He thought about the appropriate words to use, "Uh... So what is your relationship..."
"We have nothing to do with each other!" Feeling extremely guilty, Xia Xiqing automatically started the quick-answer mode. As soon as he blurted out the answer, Zhou Ziheng grabbed his wrist, "Nothing to do with each other?!"
"Is it really okay..." Xu Qichen's expression was awkward and confused, "Or maybe I took too long in the shower and my eyes are blurry... Weren't you two kissing just now?"
It wasn't just an ordinary kiss, it was a very deep kiss.
Damn, this is too unlucky. Xia Xiqing smiled awkwardly and tugged at Zhou Ziheng, squeezing out every word from between his teeth, "Didn't you just say you wanted to come in and sit down? Why don't you go and sit down?" He turned to Xu Qichen and said, "I'll explain it to you, let's sit down first."
So, the three of them sat on the floor facing each other, and the awkward encounter just now turned into an even more awkward conversation. The atmosphere was extremely subtle.
"What is the relationship between you two?" Xu Qichen went straight to the point and asked a soul-searching question.
"This..." Xia Xiqing didn't know how to answer this question, "Anyway, it's not the kind of relationship you think..."
Xu Qichen's eyes widened a little: "What kind of relationship am I thinking of?"
Zhou Ziheng interrupted: "It's that kind of relationship." He emphasized those two words on purpose.
"Really? Oh my god..."
"Really not..." Xia Xiqing almost bit his tongue to commit suicide. Although Xu Qichen knew that he was a fool and liked to play these things, Xia Xiqing felt embarrassed to admit in front of Xu Qichen that he and Zhou Ziheng had an impure sex buddy relationship.
"But you just... kissed." Xu Qichen said the last three words in a very low voice.
"Well... this isn't the first time I've kissed someone." Xia Xiqing was holding a date in his mouth, deliberately making every word unclear, his eyes looking elsewhere, "It can't be that all the people I've kissed are..."
Zhou Ziheng grabbed his wrist again, his expression unhappy, "So you mean that you often go out and kiss others now?"
"I didn't!" Xia Xiqing was so wronged, "How did you infer that? I'm either recording a show or staying at home painting every day. Where can I find someone to kiss?"
Xu Qichen analyzed calmly, "So what you mean is that you never kissed anyone else after you met him? Then you still say that you two have nothing to do with each other?"
Oh shit, I met two logical geniuses at the same time, that’s amazing.
"That's why I said it's related." Zhou Ziheng looked at Xu Qichen, and Xu Qichen nodded at him deeply, "I think so too."
"Okay, if you two say yes, then yes," Xia Xiqing raised his hands in surrender in despair.
Xu Qichen turned around and asked Zhou Ziheng, "What are you doing here?"
"I..." Zhou Ziheng answered the question truthfully, "I'll sit for five minutes." The only thing wrong was that he emphasized the word "sit".
"Do it for five minutes?" Xu Qichen's eyes were wide open like bells. "Five minutes, how..."
Xia Xiqing was almost driven crazy by the two of them, "Sit - down - sit - down"
Xu Qichen looked at his face with doubt and said nothing. Although Xia Xiqing had lost all his face, he still had the spirit of Ah Q in his heart. He was glad that only Xu Qichen was here, otherwise his reputation would be ruined. "We are really not what you think. I can't explain it to you in a short time... Just pretend you didn't see anything just now."
Xu Qichen said in a serious tone, with an obedient and honest expression on his face: "But I saw it."
"you… "
"Not only did I see it, I'm also going to go out and tell everyone about it."
Xia Xiqing took a deep breath, afraid that he would die. He held Xu Qichen's hand and began to act pitiful, "I beg you, my dear Chenchen, don't go out and say anything, especially about your family, he can laugh all his life."
Zhou Ziheng almost lost his temper when he heard the words [Chenchen, my dear], his temples throbbing, he reached out and pulled Xia Xiqing's hand away, "Are you so afraid that others will know about our relationship?" His expression changed incredibly fast, his eyes drooped like a puppy, almost whimpering, "I don't mind, why did you hide it from Editor Xu? Am I that shameful..."
Xia Xiqing was really convinced. He pushed Zhou Ziheng's hand away with disdain, "It's time for you to join the crew. You're too addicted to acting."
"Well, Ziheng, let me tell you something," Xu Qichen pulled Zhou Ziheng's arm, his expression both sympathetic and sincere, "Xi Qing seems to be a playboy, but he's not really. Okay, he is a playboy, but..."
"Don't say but, thank you." Xia Xiqing took the initiative to cover Xu Qichen's mouth, "Be good, it's late, you should go home, otherwise Xia Zhixu, that bastard, will cause trouble to me again."
Xu Qichen was pushed to his feet and asked, "What should I wear?"
"Come on, let's go to the cloakroom. You can wear whatever you want. Any outfit will do." Xia Xiqing pushed his shoulders and walked towards the second floor. While going upstairs, he turned back and glared at Zhou Ziheng.
What is going on? He has to bear all the consequences.
Xia Xiqing's cloakroom is surprisingly large, with two rows of shirts, all hung up by color, and all clothes are arranged by color scheme, the visual impact is obvious at a glance. Xu Qichen couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed an artist, even his obsessive-compulsive disorder can be so artistic.
But these clothes were not his usual style. Xu Qichen looked around and found a set of casual clothes hanging at the innermost part, which was a dark red sweatshirt and sweatpants. It did not fit in with the other clothes here and did not look like Xia Xiqing's usual taste, but it should be quite comfortable.
"The underwear in the drawer are all brand new, take any you want." Xia Xiqing's voice came from outside.
"Oh." Xu Qichen took down the casual clothes hanging on the wall, changed his clothes slowly and walked out, pulling at his sleeves, "This suit is a bit big..."
Xia Xiqing was smoking a cigarette, but when he saw Xu Qichen wearing the clothes Zhou Ziheng gave him, that eye-catching red sweater, his hands suddenly shook and the cigarette ash fell on his palm, burning him and making him shiver.
"No... Chenchen, there are so many clothes in there, why are you wearing this one?" Xia Xiqing coughed and pushed Xu Qichen in before Zhou Ziheng saw it. "This one is too big. You can change into another one. There are so many." He picked up a white shirt. "This one will definitely look good on you. Wear this one, and this pair of black pants. I remember Xia Zhixu also has similar ones. Come on, brother will make you a couple outfit."
Xu Qichen had a suspicious expression on his face. Xia Xiqing was too attentive. He took the clothes from him in confusion and said, "Then I'll change."
Xia Xiqing's heart finally settled down. If Xu Qichen went out in this outfit and was seen by Zhou Ziheng, he would be furious with him, considering his petty mind.
That’s not right. Why should he care whether Zhou Ziheng is anxious or not? Just let him be anxious.
It was as if there were three little men in his head. Two of them punched and kicked each other, until Xia Xiqing's brain nerves were broken, and the remaining one was busy trying to patch up the broken wires, but he did it all wrong.
"What took you so long?"
After hearing Zhou Ziheng's voice, Xia Xiqing finally pulled herself out of the inexplicable drama in her mind, "The suit I just wore doesn't fit me. Wait a little longer."
Zhou Ziheng smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Xia Xiqing's waist, bringing him to him. He lowered his voice as if he was about to do something bad, "Can I kiss you now?"
Xia Xiqing found that he was particularly afraid of him talking with a smile like this, especially when he used this tone of asking for instructions next to his ear. His voice was so electric that it made him feel numb all over.
"You're still addicted." Xia Xiqing blew a puff of cigarette smoke in his face and smiled vaguely, "You can have fun as much as you want during this time. I'll deal with you when no one is around."
"You also flirted with me in public before," Zhou Ziheng stretched out his hand, straightened Xia Xiqing's collarbone through the smoke, and said, "I thought you could flirt at any time."
After finishing, Zhou Ziheng bent his index finger and rubbed Xia Xiqing's Adam's apple with his knuckle.
This set of actions is more exciting than actually kissing him.
Xia Xiqing was really convinced. It turned out that Zhou Ziheng was a talented player. Once he turned on some strange button, he started to learn like crazy. Now his ability to seduce people is almost catching up with him. Is he still the innocent little virgin who didn't even dare to hear the word deep throat
"Behave yourself." Xia Xiqing held his fingers. Coincidentally, Xu Qichen came out at this moment, holding a coat in his hand. "I feel a little cold wearing only a white shirt. Can I wear this coat?"
The next second, Xia Xiqing realized that the jacket Xu Qichen was holding was the gray-green windbreaker that he had secretly worn when he pretended to be drunk.
Shit, Xu Qichen’s hands were definitely blessed.
"Hey, don't wear this one," Xia Xiqing loosened her grip on Zhou Ziheng's fingers, walked over and put her arm around Xu Qichen's shoulders, ready to take him back to the cloakroom, "This one is too thick, I have a thin one..."
"No, just wear this one." Zhou Ziheng's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hmm?" Xu Qichen turned his head and looked at him, "Why?"
"Don't bother with it..." Xia Xiqing pulled Xu Qichen, but heard Zhou Ziheng speaking from behind.
"Because it's my coat." I turned around and saw him smiling with a crooked mouth.
Xu Qichen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously let go of his hand quickly. Seeing that his coat was about to fall, Xia Xiqing caught it with quick eyes and hands.
"You lied to me and said you two had nothing to do with each other?" Xu Qichen's eyes widened a little. "He even left his clothes at your house." There were a few big words written on his face - you two must have slept together.
"Yes, there is a relationship. I've already said it." Zhou Ziheng smiled, "That kind of relationship."
Xia Xiqing was completely frustrated by the two of them. It was really his own fault. When they took his coat away, he never thought that this would happen.
Xu Qichen was smart to begin with, and he suddenly felt something was wrong, "Is that set also his? I was wondering why it was so big." Seeing that Xia Xiqing didn't say anything and looked like she agreed, Xu Qichen completely understood. He turned around and asked Zhou Ziheng, "Wait a minute, do you live across the street?"
Zhou Ziheng tilted his head, "Yes."
“Fuck…” Xia Xiqing had a good time today at getting slapped in the face.
Xu Qichen looked at Xia Xiqing with a painful expression, "Xiqing, we have been friends for so many years, and you actually lied to me and kept it from me." Seeing Xu Qichen's mouth almost drooping, Xia Xiqing had a headache, "No, I didn't mean to lie to you, this matter is too complicated, listen to me..."
"I don't want to listen." Xu Qichen pretended to go downstairs, "I want to go home."
"No, I really didn't intend to lie to you." Xia Xiqing couldn't pull it away, "Don't be angry."
Xu Qichen stopped walking and said, "Then I won't be angry if you promise me to go to the audition."
Shit, he's waiting for me here. Xia Xiqing suddenly felt that he had been tricked.
"Agree or not, if you don't agree, I'll leave."
"Wait a minute..." Xia Xiqing pulled her hair, "Let me think about it..."
"Okay then. If you go, I will reluctantly forgive you. I won't tell Xia Zhixu, so don't worry." Xu Qichen smiled and went downstairs. He waved to Xia Xiqing who was in the middle of the stairs, and smiled at Zhou Ziheng who was leaning against the railing on the second floor. "I'm leaving now. I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhou Ziheng was smiling happily.
Xia Xiqing was the only one who couldn't laugh. He turned around when he heard the door close and gave Zhou Ziheng the middle finger halfway up the stairs. Zhou Ziheng walked down the stairs step by step with his long legs, unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt. With his figure and aura, he looked like a gentleman scoundrel.
Xia Xiqing watched him walk to the same step where he was standing, and glanced to the other side. He didn't want to be nice to Zhou Ziheng so quickly, as it would make him look like a soft persimmon. He thrust the coat in his hand into Zhou Ziheng's face, "Take your coat and get out."
"Oh." Zhou Ziheng took his coat off his head and walked down the stairs with a depressed expression.
Oh no, why don’t you follow the routine
"Wait a minute."
Zhou Ziheng was standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking back at him.
"That's my coat." Xia Xiqing didn't look at him. He put the cigarette that was between his index finger back into his mouth and said vaguely, "Once it's in my hand, it's mine."
"Take it back." His tone left no room for doubt.
Zhou Ziheng smiled, then walked up slowly step by step, stood on a step lower than him, put his coat on Xia Xiqing's shoulders, and took the cigarette from his lips.
Without saying a word, Xia Xiqing lowered his head and kissed Zhou Ziheng in the remaining smoke.
The tip of his tongue swept across the smooth teeth with ease, stirring in the hot and wet mouth, as if the person who had previously refused to make their relationship clear was not him at all.
"Do it for five minutes?" Xia Xiqing's sarcastic tone had a seductive flavor after the wet kiss.
"You were the one who first said five minutes." Zhou Ziheng gently bit his moist lips.
Zhou Ziheng wore a strong perfume when attending the event. It was different from his previous refreshing youthful scent. The smell of leather mixed with a strong musk was drawn into his lungs by a passionate kiss, stirring up his hot hormones.
The sound of kissing echoed in the huge space, and the sound of water was amplified and prolonged. Xia Xiqing pressed his hand on his chest under the black shirt, feeling his heartbeat with his palm, biting Zhou Ziheng's lower lip with his teeth, and stroking his neck with his fingers. His breath was already a little unstable, "... Did you change your perfume?"
"Only today." Zhou Ziheng wanted to lean over and kiss him again, but Xia Xiqing didn't want him to succeed so easily, so he leaned back and dodged on purpose.
He smiled and clamped Zhou Ziheng's neck with his thumb and eyes slightly raised, "What's the name of the perfume?"
Zhou Ziheng tilted his head, turned his face to kiss Xia Xiqing's wrist, and licked his protruding wrist bone with the tip of his tongue.
The moment he raised his eyes, his gaze was like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity.
“Fucking fabulous.”
The author has something to say: Perfume: TF's fucking fabulous, don't be tempted, it's very expensive.
You can imagine the rest.
