“What are you standing there for? Open your mouth.”
Seeing Chi Anyu freeze up, Xie Junyi reminded him.
Chi Anyu felt like something was off about this whole dumpling-eating experience, especially when he saw Xie Junyi scoop up the dumplings he had left behind and finish them, even drinking the soup. He was completely stunned.
Xie Junyi calmly lifted his eyelids, his gaze covertly fixed on Chi Anyu’s reaction.
“Hey… why are you eating what I already ate?”
Xie Junyi retorted nonchalantly, “We’ve already kissed, so eating after you is nothing. Don’t waste it.”
That was true, but Chi Anyu still felt that something was wrong. He just couldn’t figure out what exactly was wrong.
Xie Junyi cleaned up the table, then turned and went back to the bathroom to scrub Chi Anyu’s changed underwear.
Chi Anyu: ??? Is he this proactive now?
“System, am I humiliating him right now?” Chi Anyu questioned, his brows furrowing into a tight knot. “I’ve trained a conditioned reflex into him.”
System 07 was also thrown into confusion. 『I feel like we’re deviating from the plotline?』
Soon, Xie Junyi came out carrying Chi Anyu’s pure white underwear. He found a hanger and hung it up to dry.
Chi Anyu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching Xie Junyi frantically look for things to do in his room. Half an hour had passed, and he still hadn’t left. Chi Anyu said in a low voice, “Why aren’t you leaving?”
“I don’t have anything else to do. If you’re sleepy, go to bed first. I’ll leave after I finish tidying up your room.”
System 07 couldn’t help but sigh, 『With how domestic the villain is, it’s a real pity that he ended up alone in the original plot.』
Chi Anyu curled the corner of his lips. He was the most ridiculous one… enjoying it now, but when it came time to die later, it wouldn’t be so enjoyable.
Nightfall.
A figure stood in front of Chi Anyu’s bed.
Xie Junyi was already familiar with the routine. After waiting so long, he had finally waited until the other person fell asleep. He had been craving this since daytime.
He slowly crouched down, his eyes brimming with deep affection and love.
Xie Junyi leaned in and kissed his lips. His crystal-clear eyes seemed about to crack. He lowered his head again and kissed Chi Anyu’s eyelids, asking in a hoarse, silent voice, “Baby… you actually like me too, don’t you?”
In his sleep, Chi Anyu turned over. He seemed to dream of something and happened to respond with a soft sound.
Xie Junyi’s heart suddenly raced, his breathing heavy. He quickly pressed his lips back down onto the corner of Chi Anyu’s lips, kissing and sucking madly, grinding against them.
His throat itched. He left a mark on the fair throat, responding frantically:
“I feel the same. I love you too, baby. You’re mine, all mine. I’ll listen to everything you say…”
In his dream, Chi Anyu felt his breathing grow heavy. He let out a groan, and his thigh suddenly cramped. He couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality, because his eyelids were too heavy to open.
Early the next morning.
Xie Junyi was in a great mood, humming a song as he watered the seeds Chi Anyu had buried in the backyard.
Butler Ling saw this through the window and his eyelids twitched. It had rained the night before, and the ground was still wet. Although he didn’t understand his young master’s absurd behavior, he respected it.
After watering, Xie Junyi came back and bumped into Butler Ling just as he was about to go out.
Xie Junyi’s eyes were full of seriousness, and he suddenly blurted out, “Uncle Ling, I think Yubao still cares about me.”
“Young master, what’s wrong with you today?”
What set him off again?
Xie Junyi said to himself, “He hates that Bai guy a lot, but he doesn’t hate me. Doesn’t that indirectly mean I have a place in his heart? That he actually likes me just a tiny bit?”
The corner of Butler Ling’s mouth twitched slightly: the young master would never be able to argue with the young master again… he would probably have already coaxed himself into feeling better before the argument even started.
Butler Ling could only nod and go along with it. He said perfunctorily, “Mm, the young master does treat you a little differently, young master.”
Xie Junyi’s eyes instantly lit up, showing a look that said, “I knew it.”
However, Xie Junyi’s good mood came to a halt the moment Qi You appeared. Seeing the other person approaching, he immediately had someone close the front gate ahead of time.
Qi You, dressed in women’s clothing, appeared outside the Chi residence. He saw Chi Anyu on the second-floor balcony and frantically waved at him, calling out, “Anyu! I came to find you!”
Don’t ask why he didn’t call, because after his phone call was inexplicably hung up last night, he couldn’t get through at all, and WeChat was even worse.
His intuition told him this couldn’t be something Chi Anyu would do!
Chi Anyu hadn’t noticed Qi You; his eyes were on the game. System 07 was the first to spot the clue. 『It sounds like someone is calling you from outside.』
Chi Anyu finally moved his gaze away from the screen. He got up from the lounge chair and finally saw Qi You.
“The gate is locked, I can’t get in!”
Chi Anyu read his lips and quickly went downstairs to open the door for him.
Qi You was already sweating profusely from the heat outside. The first thing he said when he saw Chi Anyu was, “Why didn’t you answer my call last night? Did you block me? Why didn’t you reply to my WeChat?”
A completely confused Chi Anyu: ??? When did he block him?
“You called me last night? I have no idea. You didn’t send me a WeChat, did you?”
As he spoke, Chi Anyu took out his phone to show Qi You, only to find that he had indeed been blocked.
“Someone touched your phone.”
Chi Anyu frowned. “Impossible. No one knows my lock screen password. I usually never let my phone out of my hand. No one at home would dare touch my phone.”
Qi You didn’t dwell on it either. He had already guessed it definitely wasn’t Chi Anyu’s doing.
“I left without eating yesterday. Today I came to your place to find you. We can finally have a meal together, right? I dressed up as my sister. When my dad heard I was coming to find you, he instantly stopped blocking me. Pretty clever of me, huh?”
Chi Anyu nodded. The sun was blazing outside, so he led the person inside.
But the moment he stepped into the Chi residence, Qi You suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if an icy, piercing gaze was fixed on him, about to skewer him through.
He swept his gaze across the hall. Apart from the servants busy with their heads down, there was no one else.
“Let’s go to my room first. My dad isn’t home during the day, and no one usually bothers me.” Chi Anyu took two bottles of cola from the fridge.
Qi You followed Chi Anyu upstairs. Only when he entered the room did he completely relax. He sat with his legs wide open, the dress he was wearing getting in the way.
