Chu Qing ran away amid the curiosity of the crowd. This time, she didn't even wait for the father and son and went straight back to the dormitory. It was not until she stood in front of the mirror on the balcony that she saw that her face was abnormally red, but her eyes were sparkling.
She took a deep breath, expelled all the mess in her mind, and then took her things to take a shower. There are always many steps for girls to take a shower and wash their hair. When she came out of the shower smelling good, it was already half an hour later.
The hot water soaked her bones and made her feel lazy. She didn't bother to blow dry her hair for a long time after she came out. She simply wrapped it with a towel and slumped in the chair in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, she picked up her phone casually and was about to play a game when she saw a text message from Qi Weichen twenty minutes ago: Come downstairs.
She was startled and quickly called him. The phone was connected after only two rings.
"Hello, Mom, is there anything wrong?" Qi Muyang's voice came from the receiver.
Chu Qing frowned: "Why did you answer the call? Where's your dad?"
"My dad just went out. He didn't take his phone with him. I don't know where he went. He hasn't come back yet," Qi Muyang said with a sigh, "What's the matter with you calling?"
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and quickly said, "Oh, it's okay, hang up now."
"mom… "
Qi Muyang was halfway through his words when she quickly hung up the phone, threw away the towel on her head, and ran downstairs without even changing her shoes. When she got downstairs, she looked left and right, but couldn't find Qi Weichen. It was almost ten o'clock, and there was no one downstairs in the dormitory. She walked around and couldn't find anyone, so she turned around and went back.
As soon as I turned around, I heard a cold voice coming from the corner: "Don't look for it anymore?"
Chu Qing was startled. After turning around and seeing his silhouette in the dark, she immediately went up to him with a look of laughter and tears: "Are you crazy? Why didn't you call me when you saw me coming down?"
"I didn't even have the chance to call you, but you're going back," Qi Weichen looked at her calmly, "Why don't you blow dry your hair? You'll catch a cold easily."
Chu Qing glared at him speechlessly, not wanting to dwell on this question any longer: "What do you want from me all of a sudden?"
"I have two things to ask you." Qi Weichen looked at her. They were in the blind spot of the street lamp. In the darkness, his eyes were the only light.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Chu Qing swallowed her saliva, her heart thumping. "Wha-what's the matter?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the teasing voices of several girls came over. When she heard that they were from her class, she was instantly startled. If she and Qi Weichen were caught at this time, they would have trouble explaining themselves... Although it was nothing, if someone reported it to the teacher, it would only cause more trouble.
Just when she was nervous, Qi Weichen's big hands suddenly grabbed her arms, pulled her into his arms and took a step back, with his back against the wall. The two of them were suddenly completely hidden in the darkness.
"you… "
"Hush."
The girls' voices were getting closer and closer, so Chu Qing had to shut her mouth and prick up her ears to listen to their voices. She didn't relax until she heard them enter the dormitory building. When she relaxed, she found that she was lying in Qi Weichen's arms, even with her hands on his shoulders, and the posture was more intimate than ever before.
Her face instantly turned red, and she tried to get up in a panic, but because she was too flustered, she lost her balance and fell into his arms again. Qi Weichen's eyes darkened: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"I didn't!" Chu Qing looked at him with shame and anger, and tried to push him away again, but he locked her in his arms and she couldn't move. "Don't go too far, tell me what you want from me, I want to go to sleep."
"First thing," Qi Weichen adjusted his arms to hold her better, "You said today that you have a lover. Who is that lover?"
Chu Qing: “…”
"say."
Chu Qing looked at him guiltily: "Anyway, it's not you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, he kissed her forehead. Chu Qing raised her head in confusion, and the distance between them was no more than ten centimeters.
"Who is it?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing: “…”
"Who?" Qi Weichen asked and kissed her on the tip of her nose.
If she didn't answer, there seemed to be no need to say where to kiss next time. Chu Qing swallowed her saliva: "You..."
Qi Weichen finally let her go with satisfaction. Chu Qing took two steps back in fear. After keeping a safe distance, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked unconvincedly with a red face, "Who did you learn these tricks from?!"
"I read some books." Qi Weichen answered calmly.
Chu Qing opened her eyes wide: "Just reading?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "I also watched some TV series that suit your taste. The dramas before 2019 are a little blurry on the current display screen, but it does not affect the viewing experience."
Chu Qing: "... So, what experience did you gain?"
"A lot. The most important point is to divide a sentence into ten. Girls like men who nag." At this point, Qi Weichen frowned, with a trace of genuine confusion in his eyes. "What's there to like when you can't find the point when talking?"
"But you talk a lot more now than before." Chu Qing raised her eyebrows. No wonder she always felt that communication with him was smoother. It turned out to be because he talked more.
"There's no other way. To ensure that you don't fall in love with someone else before graduation, I can only work harder. Although I still don't understand why you like this," Qi Weichen paused after speaking, stared at her for a moment, and a clear smile flashed in his eyes, "but it seems to be working well."
Chu Qing: “…” Gangsters are not scary, what is scary is gangsters with culture, especially those who are particularly good at summarizing.
Qi Weichen saw her staring at him with eyes wide open without blinking. She was usually a calm person, but now she was frightened like a little deer, which made people want to bully her again. Thinking of this, he unconsciously took a step forward. Chu Qing was startled by him and took two steps back. The distance between the two widened again.
"I'm not going to eat you." There was a rare hint of helplessness in Qi Weichen's tone.
In response, Chu Qing snorted, then calmed down and narrowed her eyes and asked, "Aren't there two things? What's the second thing?"
Although Qi Weichen didn't want to change the subject so quickly, seeing that her face was still red, he knew that if he bullied her too badly, she would probably ignore him for a few days, so he decided to stop teasing her.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Qing felt a little confused. Just as she was about to ask, she heard his cold voice: "You made a lot of mistakes today. I can tell you didn't study hard. Is it because I can't monitor you because you changed seats?"
Chu Qing: “…”
"I've also noticed that fines are useless to you and Mu Yang, so from now on you'll just have to copy books. At least this will allow you to get familiar with Chinese and English. Now I'm notifying you that if you make more than three mistakes tomorrow, you'll have to copy all the Chinese texts and English words you've memorized before."
Chu Qing: “…” She shouldn’t have come down.
"So, do you know what to do next?" Qi Weichen took a step closer.
Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "Study hard and make progress every day."
Qi Weichen's lips curled up a little: "What else?"
"And..." He walked out of the darkness, the moonlight fell on his face, clearly illuminating his faint smile. Chu Qing was distracted for a while, and when she thought about her current situation, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her had lost much of his charm. "And, in order to concentrate on studying in the future, you should stay away from me in the future."
She hated him so much. One second she called her "Little Sweetie", and the next second she was going to punish her to copy books. If she had known, she would not come down and let him stand here alone and get bored. Thinking of this, Chu Qing looked at him hatefully and trotted back to the dormitory.
Qi Weichen watched her walk away before slowly turning back. When he returned to the dormitory, Qi Muyang was putting on his shoes, as if he was about to go out.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
Qi Muyang looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him: "Dad! Where have you been? I was just about to go find you!"
"Something." Qi Weichen did not answer him directly.
Qi Muyang took off his shoes again, pulled a chair over to sit in front of Qi Weichen and said, "My mom just called you, do you want to call back?"
"when?"
Qi Muyang thought for a moment: "Probably half an hour ago."
Qi Weichen paused and said, "It's okay, no need to reply."
"Why? What if she's worried..." Qi Muyang suddenly had an idea and asked angrily, "You secretly met with my mother without telling me?!"
His anger was so real that Qi Weichen was speechless. After a moment of silence, he reminded him, "She and I are legally married."
"Bah! That's a matter for the future. My mother now is just an innocent and simple little cutie. She's still a child! Don't flirt with her recklessly. Even if you want to pursue her, you have to wait until she graduates from high school. Otherwise, what if you scare her?" Qi Muyang warned his father righteously.
Qi Weichen was silent, not knowing whether he should tell him that the innocent and simple little cutie he mentioned had done everything a little hooligan would do in order to pursue him. After thinking for three seconds, he decided to protect his wife's image in his son's heart and said nothing more.
"Did you hear me?" Qi Muyang couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied when he saw that he ignored him.
Qi Weichen looked at him: "I heard it."
"Then you must promise now that you won't have any ideas about my mom again before you graduate from high school." Qi Muyang looked straight into the eyes of his 18-year-old father.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't think it's me you should be worried about right now."
"What's the meaning?"
"Gu Quan," Qi Weichen's expression turned colder, "He is not someone who will give up easily."
Upon hearing this name, Qi Muyang was in a bad mood and wanted to curse, but he held back in front of Qi Weichen: "If he were a normal person, he would be embarrassed to provoke my mother again after hearing her use the excuse of having a boyfriend to reject him, but he is different, he is a pervert."
Qi Weichen wanted to say something else, but his attention was diverted by his words: "Do you think...your mother saying that she has a boyfriend is an excuse?"
"Of course, my mother doesn't know anything yet, how could she really have a boyfriend? You wouldn't even believe such a lie, right?" Although the other party was his biological father, Qi Muyang couldn't help but laugh at him.
Qi Weichen: “…” After the child was born, what kind of image did Chu Qing maintain in front of him for a long time
"Dad, is there really no way you can get Gu Quan away?" Qi Muyang asked.
Qi Weichen: “Yes.”
"What method?" Qi Muyang's eyes lit up.
Qi Weichen looked at him and said, "It's not a fair method, but there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. He didn't do anything wrong. Even if you hate him, you shouldn't treat him like this."
"Oh..." Qi Muyang was discouraged.
Qi Weichen glanced at him and added nonchalantly, "But he is harassing your mother, so this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
"He won't change even if I beat him or scold him. Now we can't drive him away. What else can we do?" Qi Muyang asked.
Qi Weichen: “Yes.”
Qi Muyang paused and looked at him in confusion. Qi Weichen lowered his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
The next day was sunny again. As autumn approaches, such weather is becoming less and less common. Chu Qing was in a good mood and sat down in the second to last row: "Good morning, classmate."
"Good morning," Chen Xiu adjusted her black-framed glasses, and saw the information in her hand, ready to move, "Can you lend me some that you haven't read yet?"
"Of course, this is from a few days ago, but you should start with the information from the first day. Qi Weichen is very good. I can understand it even though I have no basic knowledge." Chu Qing generously shared it with him.
Chen Xiu looked excited: "Really?"
"Well, take it." Chu Qing waved her hand, yawned and opened the textbook. Qi Weichen said yesterday that she would be punished to copy books in the future, which was a big stimulus for her, so she didn't dare to be lazy today.
Chu Qing spent a morning self-study session memorizing lessons. Just as she was about to go to eat after class, she saw a box of cakes in front of her. She looked up in confusion and met Gu Quan's peach blossom eyes.
"Something?" Chu Qing raised her eyebrows.
"Please have a small cake and let's see who is sweeter, you or the cake." Gu Quan raised the corners of his lips.
Chu Qing had goosebumps all over her body and asked with a look of disgust, "Did you travel through time from the last century? Who did you learn these cheesy love words from?"
"I'm very sad that you don't appreciate it." Gu Quan said calmly. His expression didn't show how sad he was. Instead, his eyes glanced towards Qi Muyang from time to time, as if testing the other's bottom line.
Qi Muyang was furious, but thinking of what Qi Weichen had told him, he endured it: "Chu Qing, let's go eat."
"Okay," Chu Qing responded, throwing the cake back into Gu Quan's arms, "Little friend, I'm old enough to be your mother, so stop playing these useless games with me in the future."
Gu Quan was not annoyed. He smiled and took the cake away. Before leaving, he did not forget to appreciate Qi Muyang's expression with veins exposed.
"Like a fly." Qi Muyang said depressedly.
Chu Qing glanced at him and said, "Since you know it's a fly, just ignore it. I thought you were going to get angry, but you didn't. You deserve praise."
"My dad taught me not to bother with him." After being praised, Qi Muyang's expression became sunny again.
Chu Qing looked at Qi Weichen in surprise: "How did you get brainwashed?"
"Persuade them with emotion and move them with reason." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Chu Qing sighed: "Then you are quite amazing. You can even persuade him. I just don't know how effective it is."
"Don't worry, Mom. My dad is right. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he becomes. If you ignored him yesterday, he would be bored. Now he is provoking you just to piss me off. As long as I ignore him, he won't bother you anymore." Qi Muyang said with a smile.
Chu Qing patted him on the back and said, "As expected of my son, you are so generous."
"Okay, okay." Qi Muyang said politely and inadvertently looked at Qi Weichen.
Qi Muyang kept his word throughout the whole day. No matter how Gu Quan provoked him, he did not fight back. Chu Qing was annoyed by Gu Quan. This kid didn't seem to know what it meant to be low-key. After just one day, the head teacher wanted to talk to the two of them. In the end, it was Chu Qing who swore to the sky, and the head teacher was sure that there was no spark between the two of them, so he let them go back to the classroom.
After being called by the head teacher once, Chu Qing became even more annoyed. When no one else was around, she secretly asked Qi Weichen, "Was I also so annoying when I was pursuing you?"
"Not a bother." Qi Weichen rubbed her hair.
Chu Qing looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
"Um."
"Stop lying to me. When I started pursuing you, you didn't like me yet. You must have been annoyed with me at that time." Chu Qing still had some self-awareness. She was quite a childish kid at that time. Once she saw him, she wouldn't stop for even a second. She started to cling to him like a shadow, holding an umbrella for him when it rained and delivering meals at mealtime. She was simply omnipresent and even more annoying than what Gu Quan is doing now.
She just didn't believe that Qi Weichen wasn't annoyed with her at that time.
"Don't tell me that you're deliberately beautifying that memory just because you like me now?" Chu Qing looked at him with distrust.
Qi Weichen grabbed her face rudely and asked, "Who doesn't like the sun?"
Chu Qing was stunned, and her face suddenly turned red. She asked him angrily: "I'm serious with you, why do you have to lead me in an improper direction?!"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment. After realizing what she had misunderstood, the tips of his ears gradually turned red, but he still explained seriously: "The sun I mentioned is a noun, not a verb."
Author's words: Qingqing: I often feel out of tune with others because I know too much
Qi Weichen: Oh
