After the Stand-in Shou Faked His DeathCh83 - The Cruelest Tenderness

“Today is the last day.”

He Yang knelt down on one knee in front of the young man in a submissive posture. IkdnQ

Holding roses and ring, he proposed.

“Marry me, okay?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qin Zhou lowered his head and looked at the ring on the man’s hand.

The right location, the right music, the perfect proposal—— kATpwM

Everything was just perfect.

But Qin Zhou didn’t accept the roses. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: “He Yang.”

“Aren’t we……..just playing?” Qin Zhou said softly.

He Yang was stunned.

“It’s been agreed for three months, and you won’t have to take care of me tomorrow.” Qin Zhou reached out, touched the rose petals, and continued, “I also want to tell you about this today.”

“The agent has already looked for the house for me. I will move out tomorrow.” Qin Zhou smiled, “In the future, it is better to contact less.”

Qin Zhou had a gentle smile on his face, and his voice sounded very gentle.

But what he said was so cruel. SeQcUK

He Yang lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, “I thought……… We’ve made up.”

Qin Zhou was a little surprised, and replied, “It’s just a  give-and-take relationship.”

It was agreed that when being kept for three months, he would be a bed partner and it’s all just playing around.

How could it be taken seriously? FWnydP

“I’ll take care of you again.” He Yang raised his head, “I’ll give you whatever you want, and we’ll continue to be bed partners ——”

“No need.” Qin Zhou interrupted, “I said it before, but I won’t think about dating for now.”

He Yang: “I can wait for you.”

“No. Don’t wait.” Qin Zhou stretched out his hand, trying to help He Yang up. Z270d

But He Yang still stubbornly knelt on the ground on one knee, maintaining the posture of proposing.

“I’ll wait for you.” He Yang still insisted.

Qin Zhou smiled. He couldn’t help but pat He Yang’s head, and said, “There is no shortage of people around you, so there is no need to wait for me.”

He Yang didn’t make a sound. He just handed the roses and the ring to Qin Zhou. qrBiUR

Qin Zhou looked at the man in front of him and said suddenly, “I’m very happy this month.”

He was really happy.

After Grandma left, He Yang was always by his side, accompanying him to get through it.

“I’m really grateful for this period of time.” Qin Zhou was very serious, and continued: “I have also carefully considered the future.” 3CUJ52

Although Grandma had left, he could still continue to live on with the wish of the tour guide.

“I still want to put work first, and I won’t think about other things for the time being.”

“So let’s not waste time, and we won’t contact each other in the future.”

He Yang: “I can wait forever.” aIPphn

At the beginning, he was a bit vengeful. He deliberately covered his eyes (HY’s) on the bed, and refused to kiss.

He Yang lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: “I used to…… treat you badly too.” UZxA3q

His attitude before was even worse.

“Forget it.” Qin Zhou smiled. He didn’t mind the previous things anymore.

There was no need to dwell on the past.

Qin Zhou said: “I will move out tomorrow, so don’t contact me anymore.” ctFSpf

“Don’t go.” He Yang lowered his posture, “I will change, and I will change everything you don’t like.”

Qin Zhou didn’t speak.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Don’t go…….”

Qin Zhou looked at the man in front of him, and finally reached out to take the roses, and put it on the table. Qysh6m

“Let’s eat first.” Qin Zhou touched the man’s face and said with a smile, “Today is the last day. Be happy.”

He Yang was silent. In the end, he got up, put the ring back in his pocket, and returned to his seat.

The two continued to eat, but the atmosphere was very depressing and no one spoke.

When they left the restaurant, it was already dark outside. 60eSsF

The commercial street outside was still very lively, and some young couples could be seen walking together.

Qin Zhou hugged the rose in one hand, and stretched out the other hand, taking the initiative to hold He Yang’s hand.

And He Yang also gripped that hand forcefully, unwilling to let go.

The two walked hand in hand as if nothing had happened. UFQJCg

After returning to the apartment, Qin Zhou put the roses in the living room. He then went to the kitchen, and took out the wonton wrappers from the refrigerator.

He asked the housekeeper aunt to buy wonton wrappers yesterday.

Although he could directly buy ready-made wontons, he still wanted to make them himself.

Qin Zhou put on his apron and slowly made wontons. edpynU

He Yang came over and hugged Qin Zhou from behind.

While making wontons, Qin Zhou said, “I’ll make more wontons. If you want to eat, let auntie do it.”

“No one else.” He Yang leaned his head on his shoulder (QZ’s) and said in a low voice, “I want what you made.”

“Auntie made the same taste.” Qin Zhou smiled. tm16TL

After the wontons were made, Qin Zhou put the wontons in the refrigerator.

QiQi leaned over and kept walking around Qin Zhou’s side with a Frisbee in his mouth.

Qin Zhou took the Frisbee and took QiQi to the living room to play.

It was until night, and QiQi followed Qin Zhou to the master bedroom, still wanting to sleep with Qin Zhou. f F9Tm

But QiQi was still kicked out by He Yang.

Qin Zhou sat by the bed and couldn’t help laughing: “It’s the last day, why not let QiQi come in?”

He Yang didn’t speak and walked to the bed slowly. His one hand held the young man while the other hand was placed on the back of the head (QZ’s), he kissed him heavily.

Qin Zhou didn’t refuse, and raised his head slightly, responding to the kiss. Cgbkm

Lips and tongues intertwined, clothes fell on the floor, and warm bodies pressed against each other.

As if He Yang wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction, he lost his mind and kept leaving traces on the young man.

It was a crazy affair.

After it was over, He Yang still hugged the person in his arms tightly and did not let go, kissing the young man’s face. tEwaKH

“Don’t go…….”

Qin Zhou was still a little sluggish. He put his arms around the man’s neck, raised his head slightly, and met the man’s gaze.

At this moment, the man was watching him seriously.

Qin Zhou didn’t respond. He just touched the man’s head, closed his eyes and fell asleep. vdR0n3

***

The next morning, Qin Zhou woke up very early.

QiQi slipped into the master bedroom again, and lay down beside the bed with his head poking around, waiting for Qin Zhou to get up and play with him.

Qin Zhou rubbed QiQi’s head, got up and got out of bed, and went to wash first. zmIQhF

Then, he packed his bags.

There were a lot of things to take away. So, Qin Zhou put all the things in the box, put a note on the outside, and prepared to let the moving company come to pick it up.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

As for some other clothes and daily necessities, he put them in the suitcase to take them away.

And when Qin Zhou was packing his things, He Yang was beside him. 27MCpG

Qin Zhou packed the suitcase, then looked at the man beside him, and said, “The wontons are in the refrigerator, and the flower on the balcony has been watered.”

“If QiQi’s toys are bitten again, you can go to the cabinet in the guest room and look for it, there are new toys inside.”

“If you have time, you can often take QiQi out for a walk.”

Qin Zhou kept talking, and told He Yang a lot of things, all of which were daily trivial matters. dtE0uL

But when He Yang heard it, he said, “I can’t remember.”

There were too many, he couldn’t remember them.

He Yang held the young man’s hand and whispered: “Stay here. Don’t go.”

Qin Zhou leaned over and said patiently: “We’re not suitable. It’s still better to go our separate ways.” 8QFVYT

It’s fine if it’s just for fun.

But if they were serious about dating, they were not suitable.

He Yang’s feelings were a bit serious, and he couldn’t respond to the same feelings.

It’s still good to part without hard feelings, and they wouldn’t contact each other in the future. z5B6SN

He Yang lowered his head and said, “We’re suitable.”

Qin Zhou just smiled and said, “Forget it.”

Qin Zhou withdrew his hand, pushed the suitcase, and wanted to leave.

He Yang suddenly stepped forward. He hugged Qin Zhou from behind, and lowered his head on his shoulder (QZ’s). vwdhZ7

“Don’t go.” He Yang hugged the person in his arms tightly, asking him to stay over and over again: “Don’t go……..”

“If you don’t want to fall in love, I’ll wait for you.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“If you want to find someone to play with, I can also accompany you.”

“Not getting married, not having a relationship, not making it public, anything is fine.” CdkhI7

After hearing this, Qin Zhou removed the hands on his waist, turned around, and said seriously to He Yang, “We’re really not suitable.”

Qin Zhou looked down at the time on his phone again, and said, “I’m leaving. Don’t contact me anymore.”

He Yang grabbed Qin Zhou’s wrist, as if he wanted to say something.

Qin Zhou stopped his steps and looked at the man. uTVUoX

It’s just that He Yang couldn’t say anything, and his eyes were a little red.

Qin Zhou leaned over, helped the man tidy up his messy collar, and said, “Next time if you meet someone you like, propose to him earlier.”

If He Yang proposed to him three years ago, he would have agreed.

It was a pity that it was too late now, and the time was not right. 4lIJFb

“You should confess your love earlier and propose sooner.” Qin Zhou smiled.

He Yang looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that those peach blossom eyes were smiling. They were very gentle.

But people with peach blossom eyes are the cruelest when they don’t love anymore.

“I won’t meet one.” He Yang held that hand tightly, his voice hoarse. 3RTrA6

‘There will never be another person I like.’   

“There will be.” Qin Zhou encouraged. He hugged He Yang, and patted the man’s shoulder to comfort him.

Then, Qin Zhou withdrew his hand. He pushed the suitcase, and walked towards the door.

And He Yang stopped by the sofa, watching Qin Zhou’s leaving figure, without moving. 4JN7QI

However, QiQi happened to come over.

QiQi only thought that Qin Zhou was going out for a walk like before. So, he nudged Qin Zhou’s legs with his head, wagging his tail, and wanted to go out with Qin Zhou.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“QiQi.” Qin Zhou leaned over, stroked QiQi’s head, and said, “Go back and play.”

“Woof!” QiQi raised his head, but did not leave, and stayed by his side, wanting to go out with Qin Zhou. mKNG5v

Qin Zhou had no choice but to take a Frisbee next to him and wave it in front of QiQi——

This was their preparatory action before playing the game.

Then, Qin Zhou threw the Frisbee into the distance.

The Frisbee landed on the balcony. QiQi stared at the Frisbee, and rushed towards it. efXbQ0

Qin Zhou also looked away. He turned and left.

QiQi didn’t notice the sound of the door lock, and ran to the balcony, and picked up the Frisbee.

It’s just that when QiQi came back with the Frisbee in his mouth, the door was empty and there was no one.

Its owner, left. fRO5 L
