Chapter 114
Extra 4 - Qi Huo and Chang Ziqi (3)
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qi Huo quickly grabbed the top of the wall with his hands and steadily squatted on it.
"You motherf—" Qi Huo glared at Chang Ziqi angrily, his words getting stuck halfway.
Chang Ziqi silently withdrew his arms that were opened to catch someone.
Qi Huo: "...You thought you could catch me?"
Although Chang Ziqi could fight and was strong, with such an excessively handsome face, it was really hard for people to think he had much strength.
Chang Ziqi didn't respond to his question, only saying expressionlessly, "In bed, you were the one who couldn't move when pinned down."
Qi Huo instantly became angry and embarrassed, "Bullsh*t! I was drunk that day!"
Chang Ziqi's face was full of disbelief as he casually picked up his notebook and took out a pen, "Class 8 Grade 1, Qi Huo, late, climbing over the wall during morning run time, Monday flag-raising ceremony, whole school criticism."
Qi Huo was shocked by his widely varying dialogue and said in disbelief, "We're friends, right? Can't you just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing? Is it necessary?"
Chang Ziqi glanced at him, "I don't sleep with friends."
"Screw you!" Qi Huo's anger surged, and in a fit of rage, he jumped down from the wall and pounced on him.
Chang Ziqi was caught off guard and knocked to the ground, his pen and notebook falling into the nearby grass.
Qi Huo pressed him down, glaring at him from above, "Chang Ziqi, are you just trying to pick a fight with me?"
Chang Ziqi looked at him calmly, "There's no fight."
Qi Huo: "?"
"I just want to find you," Chang Ziqi's neat school uniform was now a mess under him, his collar open a bit, revealing a small section of his fair neck.
"Find me for a hookup?" Qi Huo narrowed his eyes unkindly, "Last time was purely drunken misconduct."
"...No." Chang Ziqi was speechless for three seconds, "I want to pursue you."
Qi Huo's face instantly became colorful and very dramatic. After holding back for a while, he angrily said, "Damn it, are you sick? I don't like men!"
The expression on Chang Ziqi's face didn't change much, "You kissed me first."
"Damn it!" Qi Huo was so agitated he wanted to hit someone, "I kissed you because I was drunk!"
Chang Ziqi calmly said, "Then why didn't you kiss someone else?"
"I—" Qi Huo choked.
Chang Ziqi grabbed his school uniform collar and pulled him down, kissing him.
Qi Huo instinctively began to respond, but halfway through, he suddenly realized and jolted.
Damn? What the hell was he doing!?
Chang Ziqi let go of him and gently wiped the corner of his mouth, "Was it disgusting?"
Qi Huo unconsciously swallowed.
Not only was it not disgusting, it was actually quite exciting?
This was a big problem.
Qi Huo shocked himself for three seconds, then scrambled to his feet, grabbed his schoolbag, and was about to run.
Chang Ziqi stood behind him and said leisurely, "Your clothes are still at my house. They've been washed. Remember to come get them."
Qi Huo, who was halfway through running, stumbled and nearly fell. He turned his head and arrogantly gave him the middle finger.
Then he fled in panic.
Chang Ziqi curled the corner of his mouth, picked up the notebook from the ground, and patted off the grass leaves on his clothes. Having caught the rabbit he was waiting for, he didn't need to wait here anymore. Just as he was about to leave, another schoolbag was thrown in.
This time, the person climbing over the wall was even more outrageous, squatting on the wall and taking a phone call as if no one else was around, "Okay, mom, I'll definitely come home tonight."
Yun Fang had just hung up the phone when he looked down and met Chang Ziqi's deep eyes, startling him so much he almost kicked out.
"Class 10 Grade 1, Yun Fang, late, climbing over the wall, deduct one point from class score, whole school criticism at next Monday's flag-raising ceremony," Chang Ziqi said coldly.
"No problem," Yun Fang nimbly jumped down from the wall.
Chang Ziqi felt that this student who looked obedient was very dangerous. Not wanting to talk to him much, he turned to leave, when he heard Yun Fang ask from behind.
"What did you do to Qi Huo on New Year's Day? He's been acting like he's dying every day."
Chang Ziqi froze.
"So you did sleep with him," Yun Fang said in a very certain tone.
"I didn't!" Chang Ziqi rarely lost his composure, and even felt a bit regretful for the first time.
If he had known, he should have thoroughly slept with Qi Huo, to prevent him from saying nonsense to others.
"Why is there blood on your school uniform?" Chang Ziqi frowned, staring at his sleeve.
"I accidentally killed two chickens this morning," Yun Fang said carelessly.
But for some reason, Chang Ziqi felt his tone was as if he was saying he accidentally killed two people. Out of friendship, he advised, "Even if you're not an adult, murder is still illegal."
Yun Fang's expression looked very speechless, "I know."
After a pause, he added, "Then Qi Huo— raping a minor is also illegal."
Chang Ziqi angrily said, "I didn't!"
He shouldn't have come here to check for latecomers this morning.
Yun Fang's face was full of disbelief. Chang Ziqi finally understood Qi Huo's frustrated feeling from earlier.
After returning to the classroom, Qi Huo got more and more angry. He ran to Class 10 to find Yun Fang, pulling him to ask for advice.
Yun Fang looked at him meaningfully, "So you gave in?"
Qi Huo felt inner sorrow and greatly despised himself, "I was originally determined to resist, but as a man — you know."
But in fact, he didn't resist at all. Chang Ziqi, that pretentious demon, just curled his finger, and he shamefully submitted, even enjoying it.
Yun Fang gave him an idea that sounded quite feasible, but for some reason, he clearly saw "revenge accomplished" in Yun Fang's eyes. His keen intuition told him not to listen to the advice of this guy full of tricks.
Later, he followed Yun Fang to see Yi Chenliang out of boredom, but encountered Chang Ziqi in the hospital room. He angrily messaged Yun Fang, asking him to quickly get rid of Chang Ziqi, but Yun Fang directly created a group chat with the three of them.
Qi Huo glared at Yun Fang: ...Thank you very f*cking much!
Yun Fang smiled kindly: You're welcome.
Sure enough, within five seconds, a friend request appeared on his phone: [Transient requests to add you as a friend.]
Qi Huo looked up at Chang Ziqi.
Chang Ziqi calmly looked at the competition questions in his hand, sitting on the sofa with an appearance of being absorbed in studying. Seeming to sense his gaze, he looked up and smiled slightly at him.
The usually cold handsome guy's smile had a devastating effect. Qi Huo's judgment was clouded by attraction, and his hand trembled as he clicked to accept.
Transient: [Come to my place tonight]
Flower Blooming on a Rainy Night: [Absolutely not! [Angry][Angry]
Flower Blooming on a Rainy Night: [Give up on that idea!]
Flower Blooming on a Rainy Night: [I'm a steel-straight man, I'll never bend! [Fist][Fist]
Flower Blooming on a Rainy Night: [Even if you're super handsome I absolutely won't submit! [Fire]
Transient: [To get your clothes.]
Transient: […]
Qi Huo looked up and glared at him.
At this moment, his phone vibrated. Chang Ziqi across from him tapped his phone screen, gesturing for him to look.
Transient: [You don't need to type so fast.]
Qi Huo: "..."
When Qi Huo followed Chang Ziqi to his apartment that evening, his mind was very clear.
If his mom hadn't been asking all week where that newly bought jacket went, he absolutely wouldn't have stepped into this sinful house again!
That's right, exactly!
Qi Huo firmly told himself.
"What would you like to drink?" Chang Ziqi asked, opening the fridge.
He was about to say he wouldn't drink a drop of water, when he saw Chang Ziqi holding two bottles of drinks asking him, "Iced tea? Or cola?"
Qi Huo answered instinctively, "...Cola."
Chang Ziqi unscrewed the cap and handed him the cola, then sat down on the sofa.
Qi Huo took a sip of cola, not forgetting the purpose of coming tonight, "Where's my clothes?"
"Sent them to dry cleaning, they'll be delivered soon," Chang Ziqi said. "Do you want to play games or watch TV?"
Qi Huo scanned the room, "You can play games here?"
"Follow me," Chang Ziqi stood up, walked to the study, opened the door, and gestured for him to enter.
Qi Huo walked in and was dazzled by the luxurious computer setup inside.
Although his family was rich before, his mom was very strict and would never let him have such a high-end computer at home, let alone play games. When he had the itch, he could only go to internet cafes.
Chang Ziqi turned on both computers, "You can play all the games on them."
Qi Huo couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, but he still looked at Chang Ziqi with some suspicion, "Why do you have two computers at home?"
Chang Ziqi's expression remained unchanged as he said naturally, "I have a cousin about my age who loves playing games and often comes here to play together."
At this moment, Su Qingbai, who had not yet transferred to Wu City No.1 High School and was still buried in homework in Beijing, sneezed loudly.
"I see," Qi Huo's last bit of concern was dispelled.
He had no idea that a week ago, this room only had one desk and walls full of books.
"Damn! Get him! Follow me up front!" Qi Huo furiously pressed the keyboard, "Chang Ziqi, go up and get him!"
"Beautiful!" Qi Huo excitedly slapped the table and gave Chang Ziqi a thumbs up, "I didn't expect you to not only be great at studying but also so awesome at gaming!"
Chang Ziqi remained unperturbed, continuing to maintain his high gaming standard.
"Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t— Chang Ziqi, save me!" Qi Huo called out to him wearing headphones.
"Coming," Chang Ziqi fully demonstrated his reliability, rescuing Qi Huo who had been maneuvering so flamboyantly he almost lost his life.
"Senior, you're awesome!" Qi Huo laughed wildly at their game opponents, "Come if you dare, your father is waiting right here!"
Time passed quickly while gaming. Qi Huo's phone on the table rang twice before he answered, "Mom?"
"Why aren't you home yet? It's so late!" Qi Shuang's dissatisfied voice came through the receiver. "I've called you three times and you didn't answer!"
Qi Huo, who was in high spirits, casually made up an excuse just like he used to when staying overnight at internet cafes. "Oh, I'm at a classmate's house today. I'm staying over, so I won't be coming home."
Qi Shuang was already used to him liking to hang out at classmates' houses. She gave a few reminders and then hung up the phone.
"Come on, let's continue!" Qi Huo rubbed his hands together, ready to regroup and utterly defeat his opponent.
Chang Ziqi glanced at his watch. "Tonight, are you sleeping in the study or the bedroom?"
"The bedroom, of course!" Qi Huo waved his hand impatiently. "Hurry up, we're just waiting for you!"
Chang Ziqi smiled slightly and continued to play along.
The two played until midnight. Qi Huo still seemed full of energy, apparently preparing to pull an all-nighter.
After finishing a round of the game, Chang Ziqi stood up.
Qi Huo turned his head and asked him, "Where are you going?"
"To sleep." Chang Ziqi pointed at the clock on the wall. "It's already midnight."
"Come on, we're just getting started!" Qi Huo clearly hadn't had enough and tried to persuade him to continue playing.
Chang Ziqi reached out and grabbed the armrest of his chair, turning him around. He placed both arms on the armrests, trapping Qi Huo in the chair. With a slight smile, he asked, "Did you have fun tonight?"
Qi Huo nodded blankly, "Yes, it was fun."
The game sounds were still coming from the computer. Chang Ziqi leaned in closer to him. Qi Huo instinctively leaned back, resting against the back of the chair.
Chang Ziqi stared at him with deep eyes, getting closer and closer, and then—
He turned off the computer with a click.
The boisterous game sounds in the study room suddenly stopped.
"What the hell? Why did you turn off my game?" Qi Huo protested, trying to turn around, but his knees and the chair were firmly locked in place by Chang Ziqi's legs.
"I played with you all evening," Chang Ziqi withdrew his hand, his fingertips still warm from the computer tower, and pressed them lightly on Qi Huo's lips. "Don't you think you should make me happy too?"
