Chapter 037: Intimate Contact
Back in the hotel room, Qi Yu lay on the bed after taking a shower, mind filled with thoughts of what Fu Yansheng did to him tonight.
Truth be told, since Fu Yansheng offered to pretend to be his boyfriend, Qi Yu had begun to have his doubts about the other party’s orientation again. Combined with the kiss they had last year…
How could a purely straight guy accept kissing someone of the same sex?
And be willing to pretend to be someone’s boyfriend too?
Has he gone crazy?
But even if Fu Yansheng were gay, so what?
If he were gay, did it mean that he necessarily had to like him?
Even if Qi Yu has absolute confidence in his appearance, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think that everyone would fall in love with him.
After all, he had already experienced a failed seduction attempt once before…
Qi Yu remembered what Fu Yansheng said to him on their way back. Add to that his question about principles and Qi Yu once again sighed. Sigh, Teacher Fu was truly an upright and perfect man.
If he could get a boyfriend like Teacher Fu, it seemed it wasn’t impossible for him to turn bent…
……! ?
Wait, there seemed to something not quite right about that.
Why did he suddenly think about turning bent for Fu Yansheng?
Wouldn’t staying as student-teacher or close friends be better! ?
……F*ck……
Qi Yu now deeply suspected that there was a mysterious magnetic field between him and his twin brother Qi Feng. It was Qi Feng’s brainless adoration for Ling Ke that was influencing him, making him more and more inclined to being gay…
…Damn that Qi Feng!
***
The next day Qi Yu slept in and ate lunch at the hotel after getting up. Fu Yansheng said that he would come see him in the afternoon, and as expected, Fu Yansheng called him after lunch time.
“Are you at the hotel? Should I head there now?”
“……Come on over.”
Qi Yu hung up the phone and made some mental preparations for himself.
He told himself that although he had shared a kiss with Fu Yansheng, he had been the one to initiate it by teasing the other. Teacher Fu probably didn’t even know that that person had been him. Although Teacher Fu was likely gay, that didn’t mean that he was necessarily interested in him. Although Teacher Fu occasionally spoke as though he was flirting with him, that was merely the other party’s mouth being cheap. He was still very upright and proper by nature.
——So, if you don’t actually have such a strong impulse to turn gay for him, you should keep a gentleman’s distance and you must never ever cross that line!
Qi Yu took a deep breath and returned to his room.
He changed into a simple shirt with a pale blue pattern, buttoning it up to his Adam’s apple. He stood in front of the mirror and straightened out his slightly fluffy black hair. Then, he sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite, holding a pile of documents, summarizing the results of his investigation during the past few days. It was as though he was preparing for a thesis defense as he awaited Fu Yansheng’s arrival with a solemn expression on his face.
Twenty minutes later, Fu Yansheng arrived. Qi Yu got up and opened the door for him.
“Is the sunburn on your face better?” The man stared at his face when he saw him.
Qi Yu looked away uneasily. He said in a calm and restrained tone, “It’ll probably take around 20 days to get better… it’s fine.”

Qi Yu panicked, “No, I don’t need to…”
“You don’t need it?” Fu Yansheng interrupted, “You don’t even dare to touch your own face and you say you don’t need it? Do I have to peel off a layer of your skin for you before you admit that it hurts? I ran to three drugstores last night and went to a private hospital early this morning to buy this imported ointment for you. The doctor says that this is very effective for sunburn. Just one application will quickly…Just stop acting tough and come here.”
Qi Yu wasn’t the type to give in to this kind of criticizing and commanding tone. Had it been anyone else who dared to talk to him like this, he would have probably turned his head and left.
But it happened to be Teacher Fu, who he admired, who said this. What’s more, the other party actually said that he went to three pharmacies last night? By the time they parted ways yesterday, it was almost one in the morning. Fu Yansheng didn’t go straight home after that but went to buy him medicine instead?
Qi Yu suddenly felt a little moved. It was as if he was noticing the concern underneath the man’s stern tone.
Before he knew it, he was already walking to the sofa. He looked at the ointment and said, “Actually I can do it myself…”
Fu Yansheng: “Can you see your own face? Sit down.”
Qi Yu: “…………”
A few seconds later, when the man’s finger, after having dipped into the ointment, stroked his cheek. Countless question marks appeared in Qi Yu’s blanked out brain.
…What kind of weird f*cking development was this?
He had obviously just been brainwashing himself to keep a proper distance from Teacher Fu half an hour ago so why was he now letting Teacher Fu apply ointment for him? Was there any kind of intimate contact that was more ambiguous than this?
Hold up! I can’t see my own face, but I can use a mirror, can’t I?
What kind of spell did this man put over him? Why was it that his IQ dropped every time he came into contact with him?
“Hiss…!” Qi Yu’s thoughts were interrupted by the other’s actions.
Fu Yansheng: “…It hurts?”
Qi Yu’s eyebrows were slightly twisted. “A little bit.”
“Spoiled…” Fu Yansheng murmured with a smile. He dipped his finger in some more ointment. The movements of his hand softened together with his tone. “The skin on your face is quite smooth.”
Qi Yu: “……???”
Was it his imagination? Why did it feel like… Teacher Fu was using this chance to take advantage of him?
“Okay. I’ll leave the ointment here…”
After maybe five, ten, or fifteen minutes, Fu Yansheng finally straightened up and walked away.
“Apply once in the morning and once in the evening. Remember to apply it yourself later. It should be better in two or three days.”
Qi Yu narrowed his eyes at him. He said to himself, ‘then why did you say I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t see my own face?’
Fu Yansheng ignored his scrutinizing gaze and turned around to wash his hands. When he came back, he took out two iced drinks from a plastic bag and put them on the coffee table.
“What is this?” Qi Yu asked.
“A black tea drink one of the girls at our company recommended to me. She said it’s delicious. This is mango citrus and this is grape. Pick which one you like.” Fu Yansheng said.
“A girl from your company?” Qi Yu picked the purple cup and stabbed a straw into it. He frowned and said, “Actually, I don’t like very sweet drinks.”
“En, I’m in charge of five project teams. There’s quite a few beautiful girls in the company…” Fu Yansheng explained, “I didn’t let them add any sugar. Give it a try.”
“Oh…” Qi Yu said inwardly, ‘Look, Teacher Fu pays so much attention to those girls. This guy probably has that kind of bad behavior.’
Qi Yu calmed down and took a sip of the drink, sucking a piece of grape pulp. Qi Yu’s eyes widened slightly.
“Is it okay?” Fu Yansheng asked.
Qi Yu glanced at the brand on the cup and sighed, “It’s not bad.”
Fu Yansheng smiled. He sat down and said, “Tell me about your previous investigation.”
Qi Yu drank as he chose and told Fu Yansheng what he could. After listening to this, Fu Yansheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re doing the investigation like this?”
Qi Yu: “How else am I supposed to do it?”
Fu Yansheng: “If you directly make such a royal visit, it would be strange if those people below you would let you discover any problems.”
Qi Yu frowned. “I’ve also conducted surprise inspections.”
Fu Yansheng said sternly, “Do you think that they, knowing that you were going today, would only prepare and work today? The people below were probably already prepared as early as when they found out that you were going back as an interim president. Whether you go today or tomorrow, it’s all superficial.”
Qi Yu said anxiously, “Then what can I do? According to what you said, visiting the factory tomorrow would be useless.”
“You should still go,” Fu Yansheng took a sip and said, “At least what you see can be used as a baseline for comparison.”
Poor work performance and homework that was judged to be sub-standard. Qi Yu felt was both frustrated and unresigned. He knew that Fu Yansheng definitely had a way, but he couldn’t help asking, “Would it be of any use if you go?”
“In this world, there is no wall without a leak. If they really have been involved in something underhanded, they will definitely leave some evidence. As long as we catch a hold of one, when you pull out a radish, dirt will come up with it and you’ll unearth a string of them. But right now, you can’t even make out any radish tops. And you’ve even gotten yourself sunburned to the point of looking like…” Fu Yansheng paused and snorted out a laugh, “You’re going to get angry if I say it.”
Qi Yu: “……”
What f*cking difference is there between this and just blurting it out! ?
He stared at Fu Yansheng, his teeth itching with anger. However, he did feel sad for the changing of the seasons. Having come across such a stupid student like him, Teacher Fu probably wouldn’t agree to be his peidu.
For the first time in so many years, he admitted that he really was useless.
Fu Yansheng saw that unlike how he usually would, Qi Yu didn’t refute. He even looked lonely. He couldn’t help asking, “What’s the matter? I was just kidding, are you really upset?”
Qi Yu squeezed his cup and muttered, “It’s nothing.”
Fu Yansheng looked at him and stopped talking.
The two remained silent for half a minute before Qi Yu said, depressed, “What do you keep staring at me for?”
Fu Yansheng said in a low voice, “I’m staring because you look good.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Fu Yansheng smiled and comforted him, “Alright, didn’t I say that I’ll accompany you to catch the bad guys tomorrow? So, don’t be unhappy anymore, okay?”
Qi Yu: “…………”
What was with this ‘coaxing a child’ like tone?
Wait, was he being affected by Qi Feng’s magnetic field again?
Why did he think that the way Fu Yansheng was looking at him right now was…so affectionate?
Fu Yansheng asked, “What were you planning for tomorrow?”
Qi Yu: “I originally planned to take Wu Shuang and the two bodyguards arranged for me by my dad. The four of us would drive there directly. If you’re coming with, we’ll have to change to a seven-seater commercial vehicle.”
Fu Yansheng: “Where’s the Mei Wei secretary that Chief Qin arranged for you?”
Qi Yu shook his head. “She doesn’t know that I’m planning to go to Ning Cheng this weekend. I originally wanted to conduct a raid investigation this time.”
Fu Yansheng smiled again. “I’ve just found that you’re especially stubborn.”
Qi Yu: “???”
Fu Yansheng: “You say you’re going to investigate, so you drill into a bull's horn all by yourself. It’s like you’re competing with someone… You didn’t think of asking a professional for help?”
Qi Yu was taken aback. Look for a professional? Isn’t this cheating?
Didn’t Fu Yansheng want to examine his ability? That’s why he’s been doing all of it by himself.
“Investigating this kind of thing is like engaging in spy warfare. It requires ambushes and patience. Do you know that when an investigation company investigates a company’s real situation, it takes a team of people staying on it for several months?” Fu Yansheng paused and said, “You’ve brought such a small group of people with you and they’re all people who obviously follow you. You’re not going to be able to discover problems like this.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Could it be that he misunderstood?
In other words, was finding an investigation company a reflection of an aspect of his practical ability?
……
Forget it, his test paper’s score has already been lowered. So, let’s just do whatever Teacher Fu says.
Fu Yansheng: “It happens that I know several of Zhuo Shi’s investigators. Let me arrange it. But I’m going to be blunt, you’ll have to pay to have professionals take on this job.”
Qi Yu: “Money is not a problem.”
Fu Yansheng: “Okay, then you’d better count me in as one. After all, we’ll have to come into contact your company’s operating conditions so later, we’ll sign a confidentiality agreement. When we come up with the results of the investigation, you won’t have to worry about us leaking any information.”
Qi Yu gave an “en”. Inwardly, he said, ‘As expected of Teacher Fu. When he handles matters, he doesn’t miss even the smallest details. It’s very reassuring.’
The author has something to say: [Little Theater]
Qi Yu: Damn that Qi Feng!
Qi Feng: If you’re gay, you’re gay! What are you blaming me for? QAQ

Fu: That look my wife directed at me as I was putting on the ointment is making me unable to control myself, ah…
Today, I also got to eat tender fish tofu. So satisfying. ╭(￣▽￣)╮

Square: Ah, Fu Ge! My situation’s so tough! My little boss treats me like I’m ten people! And I’m just a kid too! I can’t bear how he tosses me about!
Complex Number (smokes): Little 2, don’t complain. Ge has been through all that.
Square: He also orders you like you’re ten people?
Complex Number: Exactly. He’s even been ordering me about for an entire year at all times of the day.
Square:……
