They ate dinner at the hotel’s diner. Bai Xi really enjoyed their teppanyaki.

After dinner, he took his belongings out of his suitcase. Despite the small size, it could hold.

Qi Xun stayed in this hotel for so many days, yet the room still looked uninhabited. But since the arrival of Bai Xi, his traces were left everywhere.

Standing on the side, Qi Xun compared Bai Xi to a little squirrel who was in the process of moving for the winter. 7tfa5S

Bai Xi never forgets his skin care when he goes on a business trip. This time he also brought a bunch of bottles and jars of skin care products with him. After taking a shower, he applied a seaweed mask to himself. He didn’t forget to apply it himself, but also applied it to Qi Xun’s face.

Bai Xi would never forget his skincare when travelling for work, and this vacation was no different as he brought a pile of bottles for his skin. After he took a bath, he applied a seaweed face mask on himself. That was fine if he was the only one, but he also wanted Qi Xun to participate.

Not able to talk his way out, Qi Xun had no choice but to lean against the headboard for Bai Xi to apply the paste on his face.

He was not the type of man that cared about his appearance, on the contrary, he was studious in his own way such that he was sensible in his fashion style, and also knowledgeable in the basic foundation. However, beyond that would be testing his patience.

Qi Xun looked at Bai Xi. “If you were my cousin, it would be like asking for a beating.”

He used to train his fighting skills on his younger cousins. He might look gentle, but he was not at all someone who stood for quality education. If his younger brothers did not do something as they are told, just use the hard way.

Bai Xi raised an eyebrow.

He wanted to say something, but Qi Xun stopped him by finishing the next sentence slowly. x7ltCe

“But as my boyfriend, I cannot bear to use violence, so a bite will do.”

Qi Xun firmly pulled Bai Xi closer and lightly bit the lips that were not covered by the face mask. His long eyelashes also gently brushed against Bai Xi’s.

With the paste on Bai Xi’s face, his expression wasn’t as visible.

But he was screaming madly inside. What kind of immortal boyfriend was Qi Xun? How could his teasing skill be so deadly! pf4StZ

.

The mask only needed to stay on for fifteen minutes. Once it was time, Bai Xi pulled Qi Xun to the bathroom to wash their faces.

Qi Xun studied the two glistering faces with a hint of lush green without any excitement.

If the foolish thing he did right now with Bai Xi was casually brought up in a conversation, it would be enough for those bad-influence friends to joke about it for half a year. PflQ4a

But what was a lot more terrifying was thinking about how cute Bai Xi was, babbling about the efficacy of skin care.

He and Bai Xi had always been like this.

The two of them obviously have different work interests and very different personalities, but they won’t feel bored if they stay together. He has to go to work temporarily, and Percy is watching the iPad by himself, so no one will be embarrassed.

They clearly have different careers, interests, and night and day personalities, but they would not feel bored spending time together. When urgent work came up, Bai Xi would interest himself with an iPad on the side, but neither of them would feel awkward. dUmy9T

Qi Xun wiped his face and thought, in fact, he and Bai Xi were suitable to be together. Maybe it was nothing very earth-shattering, but they already have surpassed what most dissonant couples disguise under loving images.

At least this afternoon, while waiting for Bai Xi in front of the hotel, he felt immense happiness when he opened the door and saw Bai Xi.

He lowered his head to look at Bai Xi with nothing but tenderness unknowingly.

Bai Xi felt the eyes and misunderstood the meaning behind them. Thinking Qi Xun was unhappy with him taking too long, he quickly threw things into his cosmetics pouch and tossed himself like a koala into Qi Xun’s arms. jgqULu

“I am done.” He rubbed his flushed face against Qi Xun’s shoulder.

It was only a few days of separation, why did he feel that Qi Xun was more handsome than before?

He can honestly say that he knows a lot of handsome guys. His sister’s friend’s family owns a film and television company. He met a lot of male stars in the entertainment industry at a party before. They are all handsome in their own way. One of them is also an actor. He smiles affectionately. , his sister even wanted to pull a red line for him.

Feeling guilty, he knew many handsome men because the family business of his sister’s friend was film and television. In the past, he attended their party and met many male actors in the entertainment industry. They were very good-looking in their own unique way, and he even met a film emperor whose smile is so heavenly. His sister even tried to play matchmaker for him.

Still, when he saw these handsome guys, he would sigh at how attractive they were as someone who is easily smitten with appearance. But if they were to stand side by side with Qi Xun, he would abandon any dashing men immediately. Aomdxk

He was desperate as well. With Qi Xun who was the most handsome man in the world for him, what chance did he have?

Qi Xun caressed his face and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Bai Xi replied honestly, “About how handsome you are.”

Qi Xun was pleased at first, and then there was a subtle change in his eyes. J71hdR

“You do not like me just because I’m handsome, right?”

Even now, Bai Xi had not told him the reason behind his feelings.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

If it was just because of the face…

Qi Xun thought for a while. This did not make him too unhappy, but it was strange to think about it. JS3Ndc

Especially when Bai Xi took the initiative to do his skin care just earlier.

Bai Xi was startled by the question and burst into laughter.

“The face is indeed a very important reason.”

He met Qi Xun’s eyes, eyes filled with deep affection. LEhw0f

“But even if your hair turned completely white one day, I will still love you.”

.

Because of this statement, Bai Xi paid a high price.

There were less than three condoms in the box as he was too tired to move a single finger. There were tears running down his eyes and his nose blushed brightly. He lay on the pillow and insulted Qi Xun in a whisper, “Shameless.” 0fFamB

Unfortunately, his voice was slightly hoarse and soft in the first place, so there was not much force behind it.

The hooligan who was scolded did not plan to reflect his action.

Qi Xun took Bai Xi to take another shower, and then he held Bai Xi in his arms. The two of them leaned on the bed, with an iPad in front of them with travel guides on it.

He carried Bai Xi in his arms to take another bath. After, he embraced Bai Xi in his arms as the two leaned against the bed with an iPad in front of them. It contained all information related to travel plans. xr2qsE

Besides Laohai City’s developing economy, it was also a tourist city. In addition to the several scenic spots in the city, there was also an ancient town close by.

Qi Xun asked Bai Xi, “I will finish work on the day after tomorrow. I’ll ask my assistant to make arrangements on where you want to go.”

Bai Xi held the iPad. He actually did not care where they go, as he was someone who preferred to be lazy and not budge. He energetically came here entirely because of Qi Xun.

He scrolled through the pictures. He had gone through all the scenic spots in the past, and when he happened to see the fiery-red autumn colour in the ancient town, he pointed out how gorgeous it was. “Let’s go here.” wha0XZ

“All right.” Qi Xun then asked him, “Do you not want to go to other places? Aren’t the other scenic spots also very famous?”

“I’ve been to these places with Liang Song,” Bai Xi shared. “After high school graduation, we travelled around for a month and visited different places.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

This ancient town got renovated in the last two years, that was why he didn’t stop by when he arrived.

He recalled his summer vacation after graduating from high school and thought the idea of going made him intrigued. At that time, he was hungover with love for Qi Xun, he inquired where Qi Xun was going. He wanted to follow him and make their meeting look like a coincidence. MgJUnO

But during his probing, he learned that Qi Xun went abroad for the whole summer. He did not know where Qi Xun was, let alone create a chance for them to meet.

Turning to look at Qi Xun, Bai Xi asked, “Where did you go after you graduated from high school?”

Qi Xun recalled, “I also went out with my friends. We climbed mountains and visited the seas. All of us were very tanned by the end.”

It piqued Bai Xi’s interest. “Who? Zhong Yuqin and others?” 6Zoqd2

He knew almost all of Qi Xun’s friends.

Qi Xun nodded. “Yes, Yuqin, Chen Duo, A’Yang, and Zhao…”

He suddenly stopped.

After pausing for two seconds, he finished, “Just those that you know.” rAnDmt

Bai Xi was caught off guard at first, but quickly covered his reaction. He knew the reason why Qi Xun did not finish the name list.

Because that person was Qi Xun’s former boyfriend, Zhao Qingtong. They were high school classmates and childhood friends, somewhat. They became friends in high school, got together in their second year, and broke up in their final year of college.

Bai Xi used to be envious and slightly jealous of this man because he had Qi Xun before. But now, as he lay in Qi Xun’s arms and heard the name again without warning, there were none of those negative feelings.

Yet, Qi Xun looked down to study Bai Xi’s facial expression and asked, “Unhappy?” eYw7jr

He actually didn’t have any more feelings towards Zhao Qingtong since they broke up years ago. If he did not mention the man, he wouldn’t even remember the person.

But it was a basic courtesy, not to mention the former boyfriend in front of the current one.

Bai Xi shook his head. “No, I’m not.”

He thought about how in the past two years where Qi Xun was in a relationship, let alone unhappy, he was beyond angry. SMjUaL

No one liked their boyfriend’s former partners, and Bai Xi was no exception, but Zhao Qingtong was a person of the past who was overseas as well. So he did not brood over him.

Instead, he felt a little curious, and asked hesitatingly, “Why did you two break up?”

Qi Xun never mentioned the reason. He only said that their beliefs crashed. It’s the same answer he gave to anyone that asked.

Bai Xi never asked in detail, he just pretended that the other person did not exist. Mp9 az

Based on his understanding of Qi Xun, the more the other man said so, the more it proved that the reason was not Qi Xun but the other party.

When he thought of this, an unexplainable feeling rose in his heart, from the darker side of his human nature. He certainly felt good about Qi Xun’s break up, otherwise, he wouldn’t have a chance at all.

But he always felt that Zhao Qingtong was blind. How could he be willing to give up such a great man like Qi Xun?

Thinking about Bai Xi’s question, Qi Xun did not elaborate the whole story, he simply explained, “He wanted to study abroad and pursue his career, while I wanted to stay. So he broke up with me.” BvjLfk

In fact, it was more than that. When Zhao Qingtong went abroad, he was not alone. In just one month, Zhao Qingtong already found a new partner. It was someone who had been pursuing Zhao Qingtong for several years.

The two fought pretty hard.

That was a rare disgraceful event in Qi Xun’s life.

Not wanting to continue the topic, Qi Xun lowered his head to say something else but met Bai Xi’s small wrinkled face. aFLKDP

“What’s wrong? You’re really unhappy?” He helplessly stroked Bai Xi’s face to smooth out the wrinkles. “Then why did you ask?”

Bai Xi shook his head. He felt slightly puzzled. Going abroad was so common in their social circle, but none of them ever led to break up.

“I’m not jealous,” Bai Xi gazed at Qi Xun. “I just feel…that he did not cherish you. Oh, that came out wrong. Everyone has different ideas. Some people care about their careers and others care about love. That’s not right either, it’s just…”

It’s just… VjewJF

He looked at Qi Xun distressfully.

He witnessed Qi Xun in his senior year and knew some of the quarrels between the two at that time.

There was no need to give up love in pursuit of a career. Going abroad was not separation like life and death. At most, it would be a long-distance relationship due to being in different countries.

But Zhao Qingtong did not hesitate to part with Qi Xun. rbnpBa

It left a bad taste in his mouth.

It was like what he cherished the most, this important treasure of his, was tossed away like a pair of worn-out shoes.

It allowed him to be with Qi Xun now, but he couldn’t bring himself to be happy.

He failed to express himself verbally. mxnBgE

But Qi Xun could read everything through his eyes.

Qi Xun could not tell the feeling that emerged in his heart. Even he did not care about the past as it was just a failed relationship. He could meet anyone and it would not have affected his life.

Yet Bai Xi was genuinely sad for him.

While bearing the status of his current boyfriend. cwuKNy

This was a very stupid thing.

He bowed his head and pecked Bai Xi’s forehead. “Everything is fine. See, don’t I have you now?”

Bai Xi was startled as the shy smile appeared on his face.

Qi Xun did not like to ask love related multiple-choice questions, because he found it senseless. However, in this rare moment of wanting to be puerile, he asked Bai Xi, “If you were allowed to choose, would you pick me?” LOY8jX

Bai Xi nodded his head without a second thought.

“Yes, I’ll always choose you.” He answered firmly.

Qi Xun smiled. Whenever he smiled, it always showed his deep emotion by a hundredfold.

Both of them knew all too well that no one should ever make a choice between work and love. If they are committed, there should not be any problem. sz0Imy

But with all seriousness, Bai Xi, who would choose him, was hazy and beautiful under the light.

It made him chase for a kiss again.

He heard Bai Xi complain softly to him, “If you keep kissing, my lips will swell…”

But he did not stop. EXZ pt

Still Qi Xun’s cousins. It’s common to call family members around the same generation/ age as their siblings (brother/ sister) in Chinese.
