After I Flopped on My CrushCh6 - Subtle

As someone who is prone to outbursts, it took ten minutes for Liang Song to calm down after hearing the news.

As Bai Xi’s closest childhood friend, he naturally knew about the situation between his friend and Qi Xun.

During his last year of high school, Bai Xi always sought his ears to talk about Qi Xun this and Qi Xun that for what it felt like, every single day. So much that he wouldn’t be surprised if callouses started to form on his ears. He also had to accompany his friend to watch Qi Xun’s contest.

Bai Xi was so smitten by Qi Xun’s charisma on the stage. He got to admire the beautiful college girls’ figures, instead of interfering with his lovestruck friend. okb9KR

Back then, he didn’t take Bai Xi’s attraction seriously.

Young love is as beautiful as poetry, but it was often gone as fast as it arrived.

He had only had several relationships in high school, the longest of which didn’t last more than three months. Not only did they get together easily, but he also wished the other person to find his next partner as soon as possible. He didn’t even think that Bai Xi’s relationship with Qi Xun would last long.

He had been in several relationships in high school, none lasted longer than three months. Not only did he part without hard feelings, he even wished they would find a new partner soon. He thought the feelings Bai Xi had toward Qi Xun would not last very long.

But he never thought that Bai Xi was such a single-minded person. His friend’s love was as persevering as a runner in a marathon, remaining strong even after six years.

This led him to be quite dissatisfied with Qi Xun.

His discontent was brimming with subjective flavour. Qi Xun was simply too blind to notice such a beautiful and well-behaved little gay like Bai Xi.

But now, he is sitting in the noisy barbecue place and hearing his friend say he is dating Qi Xun. DKPCd

Liang Song crossed his arms, examined Bai Xi’s guilty face and tsked.

He stared into Bai Xi’s eyes. “Explain to me first. I haven’t seen you for days and you managed to get together with Qi Xun? Did you confess to him?”

Bai Xi poked a baked potato on his plate with his chopsticks. He didn’t dare to look straight into Liang Song’s eyes. “It wasn’t really a confession…”

He coughed and slowly told Liang Song what had happened in the past few days in the noisy barbecue restaurant, from when he woke up at Qi Xun’s house to when he agreed to date Qi Xun a few days ago. end. R0Zu9H

He coughed to clear his throat. In the lively restaurant, he slowly retold the story to Liang Song about what happened in the past few days. From the time he woke up at Qi Xun’s house to the time he accepted to date Qi Xun a few days ago.

The more he went on, the smaller his voice became. Because Liang Song’s eyes seemed to burn a hole in his face, and his brow furrowed so much, it could kill a fly.

“Since things have ended like that, we decided to date and give each other a chance. Maybe, we might even,” Bai Xi paused and tried to find a good saying for this. “Tie the knot.”

Hearing these three words, Liang Song finally couldn’t resist rolling his eyes. SZ96VL

To daydream about tying the knot, Bai Xi would be lucky if he didn’t come out empty-handed.

“What do you want me to say about you? How old are you? You can still drink too much and sleep with others.” Liang Song is half a year older than Bai Xi. He has regarded himself as Bai Xi’s half brother since he was a child. He looks at Bai Xi’s His eyes were like seeing his own cabbage being fed, “You are still sleeping with Qi Xun. If you sleep with someone else, you won’t even have time to cry.”

Bai Xi muttered with an innocent expression, “But I wouldn’t have drunk so much if it wasn’t for Qi Xun.”

That was true.

However, Liang Song still felt upset and glared at his friend.

Just then, the server arrived with more food. Bai Xi perceptively took a chicken wing and put it in his friend’s bowl. “Alright, hold your horses. Let’s eat first.” DdyXNm

Liang Song gloomily bit into the chicken wing.

After listening to the whole story, he finally believed that Qi Xun and Bai Xi were together. Although Qi Xun had a frozen expression twenty-four-seven, and always looked like someone owed him eight hundred million, he was at least a man of his words.

As a friend, he should be the one beating the gong to celebrate. Liang Song’s good friend finally pursued the male god he admired. But every time he recalled how the two got together, he kept finding it ridiculous.

He poured himself a glass of bubbling Sprite and drank half a cup in one go, to reduce the fire.

Bai Xi looked at his friend amusedly and gently kicked the other man under the table. “Didn’t you encourage me to get a hold of Qi Xun? Well now, I did but you don’t look very happy.”

Liang Song rolled his eyes. “Did I ask you to use that method to do it? If Qi Xun is with you because he likes you, I would have presented you to his bed with a red ribbon. But now he is only…” nCykwf

He didn’t want to stab his friend’s heart with a knife, so he didn’t continue. He could only scratch his head in frustration.

Bai Xi, on the other hand, was completely at ease. He picked up the talking baton. “He is only doing it out of responsibility and thinks I’m very suitable for him, not because he likes me.”

He smiled at his friend, showing how there was nothing for Liang Song to feel bad about.

“I have thought about what you said, but without these things, Qi Xun may never be with me. He doesn’t owe me anything, and I am willing to date,” he said calmly, “I have After figuring it out, whether to take a gamble or just admit defeat, I choose the former.” bsmWgU

“I’ve thought about what you said, but without these things, Qi Xun may as well never be with me. He doesn’t owe me anything. I’m willing to be in this relationship.” He said calmly. “I’ve thought things through. Whether be gambling everything or straight out admitting defeat, I picked the former.”

Liang Song also understood this logic.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The one with the secret feeling was Bai Xi, not Qi Xun.

Qi Xun didn’t have to show consideration towards Bai Xi’s feelings. e3G dq

If he was in Qi Xun’s shoes, he couldn’t guarantee that he would handle it as rationally as Qi Xun.

But he was biased when it came to Bai Xi. He always felt that his friend was too good for anyone. It was what gave Qi Xun the right to not understand, even after that drunken night.

These two feelings tugged back and forth internally, making his face distorted for a moment.

Bai Xun could guess what the other man was thinking just by looking at his facial expression. He found it funny, then laughed unconsciously. 9OJGo

He took the glass filled with coke and bumped it against Liang Song’s glass. “Stop worrying. Shouldn’t you congratulate me on being officially off the market?”

Liang Song looked dispiritedly at Bai Xi and reluctantly returned the action.

“Then is he treating you well?” He asked what he was most concerned about as he sprinkled chilli powder on the barbecue.

“Yes.” Bai Xi chirped, as the thought of this topic brought out a smile sweeter than honey. “It’s much better than I expected. I never thought Qi Xun was this type of lover.” xshK2n

Liang Song bit a roast shrimp and raised his eyebrow suspiciously. He always suspected that Bai Xi’s filter was too thick.

But he didn’t refute it. People in love were idiots, he refused to discuss it.

But after a while, he looked at Bai Xi again and said seriously, “Actually, I don’t really hate Qi Xun. My relationship with him is just a passerby. I just think that you like him too much. You were able to stay awake when you were in love, and now that we are actually in love, if the outcome is not good… how sad you will be.”

But after a while, he met Bai Xi’s eyes again and said seriously, “I actually don’t hate Qi Xun. I’m just a bystander with him. I just felt that…you like him too much. You at least are clear-headed when you were loving from one side. Now that you two are really a thing. What happens if things ended badly…think of how you would feel then.” xrmw7b

He still remembered how many stupid things Bai Xi did for Qi Xun during college. He also deeply knew how much his friend liked Qi Xun. So much so that he would smile when he spotted Qi Xun’s name on the school’s wall of fame.

Bai Xi supported a hand under his chin and tilted his head to look at Liang Song. He didn’t counter Liang Song’s logic, because his friend was right.

But what use was there for truth? A thousand words couldn’t rival his love for Qi Xun.

The path where no questions asked, no expectations, for that end type of love. 1Ifbod

“You’re right, but I’ve been a coward for six years. I don’t want to be one now. I’ve only been with Qi Xun for six days, but these six days make me happier than those six years. So I don’t want to fuss over the future. I want what I have now.”

When Bai Xi said this, his already beautiful face became more vivid, his eyebrows and eyes were as gentle and bright as the moon.

This startled Liang Song.

He knew Bai Xi too well and knew the emotion displayed on his friend’s face was genuine. 2eId69

Qi Xun really made Bai Xi very happy.

Liang Song was silent for a while and didn’t say anything.

Destroying people’s marriage life was like asking to be struck by lightning.

He patted Bai Xi on the shoulder. “Fine, as long as you’re happy. I’ll support you no matter what you do anyway.” He gave Bai Xi a bright smile, revealing his small canine teeth. “I hope you obtain what your heart desires, and tie a knot with Qi Xun.” pd6G1I

Bai Xi returned the smile. “I humbly accept your blessing.”

The two friends put aside the topic regarding Qi Xun for the time being and talked about random things while eating. They didn’t walk out of the restaurant until nearly ten o’clock and walked unhurriedly to the parking lot.

Halfway through, Bai Xi’s phone vibrated. He fished it out and saw a new message from Qi Xun.

There was no fluff in the content, only asking if he was home. Below the message were two photos of musical tickets, the one he said he wanted to go before. tB0y5h

It was scheduled the day after tomorrow—on Halloween.

Bai Xi lowered his head to record a voice message to Qi Xun about how he wasn’t home yet, but was on his way.

Liang Song listened on the side and couldn’t hold back asking, “Are you two going on a date?”

“Yes, on Halloween,” Bai Xi said absentmindedly, his eyes glued to the screen. “Qi Xun took a day off for it.” fQFhWj

Liang Song raised his eyebrow and had this indescribable feeling.

Another reason he didn’t like Qi Xun before was that he had this natural poker face, and he would look annoyed if anyone would waste his time. At first glance, one could tell that he was thoroughly cold-hearted. Never be thought of as someone who would compensate for love.

Liang Song felt that even if Bai Xi wanted to date, his friend should find someone who is considerate, preferably a gentle, thoughtful type.

But now, listening to the content of the voice message between Bai Xi and Qi Xun. When he heard that Qi Xun, a workaholic, actually took time off for Bai Xi, a subtle change happened inside of his heart. kjg2c0

Why did he feel that Qi Xun was pretty devoted to Bai Xi.

Once they reached the parking lot, Liang Song and Bai Xi went on a hunt for their own cars.

Bai Xi waved to his friend. “I’ll be heading back.” XMswm9

Liang Song nodded. “Drive safely.”

Then added one more thing after a short ponder. “I’ll be busy in the next few days with my art show. I might not have much free time. Once things die down, let’s have dinner. With Qi Xun this time.”

Bai Xi was stunned before smiling. “Okay.”

Feeling conflicted for a moment after suggesting that, Liang Song felt like he had surrendered to the enemy. Opening the door restlessly and—accompanied by anxiety—driving away instantly. Yd0RUA

Translator's Note

He means the instrument, not to be confuse with top/ gong, even though that’s a very funny thought.

  1. A few errors:

    “well-behavioured little gay like Bai Xi”=>Well-behaved “his eyebrows wrinkled so much, it could kill a fly”=>his brow furrowed (eyebrows are plural so they can’t be ‘it’, brow means forehead) “Bai Xi looked at his friend amusingly”=>amused or amusedly “He also heartfeltly knew how much his friend liked Qi Xun.”=> deeply ( heartfeltly is not a dictionary word)

    Thanks for the chapter!

  2. “As a friend, he should be the one beating the gong to celebrate.” I deadass got confused with this one because the gong in my mind was a top not an instrument lmao 😭

    Thanks for the chapter ☺️

    • LOL This completely flew over my head . I added a translator’s note so others won’t get confuse. There was another reader mentioning ‘beating the gong’ and I was like ‘okay?’ [insert Saitama meme].
