Episode 056: Skill Development
Before they knew it, they had already reached the front gate of the community. Wang Meng hadn’t arrived yet.
The two stood under the porch for a while. Fu Yansheng once again took out his cigarette case.
Qi Yu couldn’t help being dazed. He remembered Fu Yansheng saying that he usually smoked two or three cigarettes a day. And that it only doubled when he was stressed. But this person had already smoked two cigarettes in quick succession just after their meal; and now he was going to smoke again?
Qi Yu narrowed his eyes at him. “Why do you always smoke?”
Fu Yansheng paused just as he was about to light his cigarette.
Qi Yu thought about the recent few times that Fu Yansheng had met with him. The frequency of him smoking seemed to increasing. He couldn’t help joking, “Are you stressed when you’re with me?”
Fu Yansheng was silent for a couple of seconds. Unexpectedly, he didn’t refute. Instead, he put away the cigarette and smiled lightly. “Then I won’t smoke for now.”
It was like something grabbed Qi Yu’s heart and he suddenly experienced all sorts of mixed emotions.
He originally just wanted to deal with the man as he had dealt with him, so that Fu Yansheng could also have a taste of what it felt like being controlled by his own emotions; but it was only then that Qi Yu realized that the feelings went both ways.
He already liked Fu Yansheng, and the other’s emotions would naturally affect his heart.
Any more retaliation would only be him spinning a cocoon around himself.
Qi Yu sighed lightly and he remembered what had happened the night before.
To tell the truth, it was only when Fu Yansheng overturned the red wine that he noticed that this man was losing a bit of control. After all, the reactions of the body is the most honest.
When he was rejected, Fu Yansheng’s face also seemed a little lost. But by the time Qi Yu had gone out after he finished changing his clothes, the other party had already cleared away his emotions. He sat there silently and smoked, much like the way he had been sitting at the dining table and smoking today.
Perhaps, this was already a manifestation of the other party’s obvious loss of control.
Maybe, those things he thought had been done deliberately were in fact revelations of this person’s true feelings.
……
Qi Yu tilted his head to look at Fu Yansheng.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Noticing him staring, Fu Yansheng also looked over and raised his eyebrows. “Why do you keep looking at me?”

Qi Yu suddenly found it very interesting. When he met Fu Yansheng at Skyline, his emotions were so conflicted that he didn’t dare look at Fu Yansheng. On the contrary, it had been Fu Yansheng who was calm and unperturned, not shying away from looking at him, looking him up and down, even teasing him about his good looks… Oh, how the tables have turned. Now, he could look directly at Fu Yansheng, but Fu Yansheng didn’t dare look at him anymore.
Ten seconds later, he heard Fu Yansheng let out a light laugh.
Qi Yu placed both hands in his pockets, his emotions suddenly brightening up.
“Why hasn’t Wang Meng arrived yet…?” He tried to talk about something else to adjust the mood.
“There are a lot of restaurants and shops closing up for the night on the next street over. There might be a traffic jam…” Fu Yansheng explained, paused, and suddenly asked him, “Qi Yu, have you noticed any suspicious people following you lately?” ”
The other party’s tone sounded a little serious, and Qi Yu also tensed up. “There doesn’t seem to be. Why do you ask?”
Fu Yansheng’s posture was still loose, but the look in his eyes had changed. “Did you see the car across the street? Black Volkswagen, license plate number B2R93…”
Qi Yu was startled. Wasn’t that…
“Don’t stare for too long,” Fu Yansheng reminded him out aloud. Gone was his lost and dejected tone. From out the corner of his eyes, he looked vigilantly around the road. He said in a low voice, “Since we came out, that car has been parked there. The car window just moved down a bit. I think someone’s taking pictures of us.”
Qi Yu: “…………”
When he mentioned that, Qi Yu’s heart finally calmed down. Qi Yu remembered that car — He had commissioned Reporter Yang to counter-monitor his surroundings. Barring any unforseen incidents, the person who was secretly taking pictures was probably one of Reporter Yang’s men.
But Fu Yansheng’s sharp senses still surprised Qi Yu. In this state, the other party was still paying attention to his safety situation. It was hard for Qi Yu not to feel moved.
Forget it, he thought.
He had already acknowledged this person…
“That shouldn’t be possible. They may just be photographing the gate of your community…” Qi Yu smiled, “Or maybe they’re taking photos because we’re handsome.”
Fu Yansheng frowned. “…Really?”
Qi Yu pretended to be relaxed and said, “Don’t worry, I usually have bodyguards with me when I go out. It’s okay.”
As they were talking, from the top of the street, car lights flashed and a familiar car towards them.
Qi Yu thought back. That night, what did Fu Yansheng do at the door of his hotel room?
The car slowed down and slowly stopped in front of him. Qi Yu stepped forward, pretending to leave. And then, he looked back at Fu Yansheng as though reluctant to go.
Fu Yansheng was startled. “What’s the matter?”
Qi Yu turned around, walked straight to the man, grabbed the other’s arm, and hugged the other into his arms…Since this man has captured his heart, he wasn’t going to allow the other to shrink back anymore.
“Teacher Fu…” Qi Yu called his name. He didn’t dare hug him too tightly, only hugging him loosely like an embrace between gentlemen. He then whispered in Fu Yansheng’s ear, “Thank you for cooking for me today.”
His hand slid down, touched his wrist, then scratched his palm…
…Tsk, this action of scratching the other’s palm was really flirty.
Qi Yu was a little curious about the frame of mind Fu Yansheng had been in at the time when he scratched him…
“Rest early. I’ll invite you out another day.” After saying this, Qi Yu quickly released the other party, opened the door of the car and got in without looking back. After that, he didn’t dare look at Fu Yansheng again.
The car turned away from Lin Yuan Apartments, and it wasn’t until after two more traffic lights that Qi Yu relaxed his taut bearing.
He subconsciously smiled, excited and in high spirits at having done this brazen move. He also uneasily pressed his knuckles against his lower lip, unsure about how Teacher Fu must be feeling at this moment.
Feeling his phone buzz in his trousers pocket, Qi Yu’s heart also skipped a beat.
It must be a message from Fu Yansheng…
Qi Yu took the phone out of his pocket and put it back in. After repeating this action several times, he still didn’t open his phone to look.
He didn’t know why he was hesitating. Maybe he was afraid of Fu Yansheng questioning what he meant by his actions just now. Or maybe he was afraid that Fu Yansheng would react quickly and open up to everything.
Qi Yu didn’t want it that fast. He enjoyed this game with Fu Yansheng and he even disgustingly wanted to see more of this man losing control of himself because of him — Of course, he was going to use what he’d learned from his experience tonight. He either had to get a good grasp of what was the proper speech and action or he had to use a different style so as not to torment each other so much.
Back at the hotel, Qi Feng had already arrived. Qi Yu chatted with him for a bit. Confirming that no incident had happened at the company today, he felt relieved. He walked to the sofa and took out his mobile phone.
Qi Yu expectantly opened WeChat. It was like he was opening a gift from a lover.
F1S: “……”
F1S: “You’ve developed your skills…”
Five minutes after that.
F1S: “Let me know if you’ve gotten safely to the hotel.”
There was another one half a minute ago.
F1S: “You haven’t arrived yet?”
Qi Yu stared at the screen and read these words over and over again, including the series of ellipsis. He tried to visualize Fu Yansheng’s expression and mood when he’d sent these messages. He then elatedly replied, “I just arrived.”
After replying, he sighed with emotion. This man really was to his taste. He hadn’t asked him any questions that he didn’t want to answer.
F1S: “The Volkswagen with the license plate B2R93. Please keep an eye out for it. I think the car also left after you left. It doesn’t hurt to be cautious.”
Yu: “…Okay.”
Because the injury on his hand seemed a bit too obvious, Qi Yu still asked Qi Feng to go to work on his behalf for the next few days. He himself stayed in the hotel to handle matters related to the investigation.
Although he didn’t meet with Fu Yansheng again, the man’s attitude had obviously reverted back to how it usually was.
The few days after they parted, Fu Yansheng even sent Qi Yu an editorial —“Who was the biggest winner in the battle between Little Magpie and Little Pigeon?”.
F1S: “You seemed to be quite interested in this. This article did a very good analysis. You might be interested in reading it.”
Qi Yu: “……”
He scanned through it. The author of the article claimed that the biggest winner was neither Little Magpie nor Little Pigeon, but rather, Lin Huan.
Not only had Lin Huan managed to merge the two companies and make money, but he also earned fame for himself. If within the next three years, Little Magpie’s development fails to meet his expectations, he would be able to take back the company, consolidate its resources, resell it and make a profit several times larger than what he’d put in.
This coincided with Xu Jing’s evaluation at the time, but Xu Jing only said that Lin Huan was very scheming. He made no analysis from a professional investor’s perspective in what aspects Lin Huan had won. This article though, discussed it in detail.
Qi Yu looked at Lin Huan’s personal information at the bottom of the article. Seeing that this person was only 26 years old, a strong sense of competition rose in his heart… Maybe in the future, he’d be able to make investments even more amazing than the one Lin Huan had made.
