Chapter 093: You’re Running a Fever
Qi Yu brought two cans of tea back to the hotel and gave them all to Fu Yansheng.
The two returned to California early the next morning, and Qi Yu devoted himself to his major university courses. Although Fu Yansheng had already finished teaching him the courses before returning to Haicheng last time, Qi Yu hadn’t had time to do a lot of the classwork. Also due to his many absences this semester, several professors who had an impressions of him had taken notice and sent him emails.
Qi Yu went to the school and after catching up on his classwork and group assignments, went to meet with his professors to undergo some “interrogation”. There were many students in Stanford that had special circumstances much like Qi Yu. So long as the student is able to state the reasons for his absences clearly and the professor could verify that the student had been the one to perform all the coursework, rules regarding their attendance could be stretched.
In mid-December, Qi Yu finally finished all his exams for his course.
The day he left school, Pascal City was experiencing a cold front. Qi Yu was only wearing a black sweater and as he was walking by the side of the road, the cold wind sent him shivering.
Winter in California was much warmer than in Haicheng. Qi Yu prided himself on being in good health and normally, he wouldn’t feel cold even just wearing something like this. However, he couldn’t help frowning and pulling his collar up higher.
Inside the car, looking through the car window, he saw that the store entrances were all decked up in red and green lights and a certain old man in a red hat. It was then that he realized that Christmas was almost here.
However, by his estimate, he won’t be spending Christmas in the United States this year. Fu Yansheng had already booked them a flight back to Haicheng the day after tomorrow. For the next three weeks of winter vacation, he’ll be back in China, continuing to participate in the formation of the Group’s technology company.
Speaking of, Fu Yansheng also accompanied him to come back here for his final exams, he must also be plenty exhausted. During the day, he would help him review and revise his essay outline. At night, he would stay up late at night contacting their team in China, reviewing the various data analysis they do. He has even less time to rest than he did.
Thinking of how, while they were in bed this morning, Fu Yansheng had been holding him and while kissing his neck sleepily, he wished him good luck, Qi Yu couldn’t help but smile.
After arriving downstairs of their apartment building, Qi Yu didn’t immediately head upstairs. He asked Wang Meng to park the car and accompany him to a nearby shopping mall.
Qi Yu picked a jewelry store and walked in. Immediately, an enthusiastic shopping assistant greeted him and asked, “What do you need, sir?”
“Thank you but I’ll just take a look around first.” Qi Yu said.
Cufflinks, tie clips, watches, lighters… There are always these things in the men’s gift cabinet. Without any specific item in mind, Qi Yu circled around the store. Without any conscious thought, he came to stand in front of a glass cabinet where jewelry was displayed.
Looking at the dazzling jewelry under the spotlight, Qi Yu couldn’t help thinking, if Fu Yansheng were a woman, it would be much easier picking out a gift. Look at these bracelets, these diamond necklaces, these…rings…
The shopping assistant has been following Qi Yu at an appropriate distance. Seeing him lingering in front of the jewelry cabinet, he reminded him with a smile, “Does sir wish to buy a gift for his girlfriend?”
Qi Yu’s face was burning. He quickly moved his eyes away from the pair of rings and returned to the men’s gift cabinet. Finally, he picked a tobacco-colored grained leather belt and asked the assistant to wrap it.
While he was paying for the item, he received a call from Fu Yansheng. He asked, “Have you finished your exams? Why haven’t you come back yet?”
“I will be there soon…” Qi Yu took the gift bag, folded the invoice into his trouser pocket, and returned to the apartment.
Heading upstairs, Qi Yu smelled of the aroma of cooking food as soon as he entered the door. He changed out of his shoes and wound round the entrance, only to see Fu Yansheng standing in the open kitchen doing something.
He walked over and took a look. Qi Yu said, puzzled, “You even know how to cook steak?”
Fu Yansheng motioned with his chin. “I’m studying it now.”
Only then did Qi Yu notice that there was an iPad standing to the side of the counter, a few pictures of steak displayed on it. He swiped on it and saw that the graphic tutorial was called “A Step-by-step Guide to Making Steak the French Way”…
“Why are you studying something like this?” Qi Yu said, amused.
“Isn’t this to celebrate the completion of your exams?” Fu Yansheng asked him with his head tilted, “How was it? It went well?”
Qi Yu let out a “en”. Learning from the man’s usual “harassment” methods, he wrapped his arms around the other’s waist from behind and stuck his entire body against the other’s back.
Fu Yansheng: “……”

Fu Yansheng: “???”
Perceiving how that the man’s body stiffened, Qi Yu smiled and pulled out the belt that was around the other’s waist.
Fu Yansheng held the spatula, neither lifting it nor releasing it. He could only warn him in a dangerous tone of voice, “Little bastard, I’ve still got the fire on.”
Qi Yu quickly replaced it with the one he bought. He buckled it properly and then put placed a kiss on the man’s ear. He said, “I bought a belt for you. You’ve been working hard these days.”
Fu Yansheng lowered his head and took a glance. Then, he laughed aloud and cursed, “F*ck…”
A pot of seafood soup, two steaks, fried potatoes and steamed broccoli — It was Fu Yansheng first attempt at Western food and the dishes weren’t rich.
However, this was a simple meal at home and Qi Yu wasn’t picky. The two sat down, opened a bottle of wine and chatted while eating.
“How does it taste?” Fu Yansheng asked.
“It’s pretty good.” Qi Yu poured himself a bowl of soup, held it in his hand and drank it slowly.
While cutting his steak, Fu Yansheng kept looking at Qi Yu from time to time. Qi Yu didn’t know if he was still brooding about the belt but the look in Fu Yansheng’s eyes were extremely ambiguous.
Qi Yu had been pretty gutsy during that sneak attack but he felt uncomfortable being blatantly eyed like this by Fu Yansheng with such a blatant look. He pretended to be calm and said, “What do you keep looking at me for? If you’ve got something to say, just say it.”
Fu Yansheng asked, “How much was that belt?”
Qi Yu: “Not much.”
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, “Lighters, clothes, shoes, belts… I’ve been with you for only four months. How many things have you already given me? And most of them are from luxury brands. I think if I add up everything from this year, it will probably equal the salary you’re giving me.”
Qi Yu: “They’re just casual purchases. I didn’t put that much thought into it either.”
Fu Yansheng shook his head. “Don’t buy anymore.”
Qi Yu: “You don’t like it?”
Fu Yansheng raised his eyes to look at him: “If you really want to thank me, you’d do better by trying to please me in bed.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Frankly speaking, during these days with Fu Yansheng, they’ve done almost everything they could do. As their relationship deepened, Qi Yu’s initial resistance changed and he became happier and happier in it.
Hearing Fu Yansheng’s hint at the moment, Qi Yu too, unexpectedly, felt a little bit restless.
He has read several popular science articles on the Internet. Those articles claimed that a man could get a strange sense of enjoyment from behind. As long as he’s able to enjoy it, he would love it…
Maybe he should try it once with Fu Yansheng before returning to China? Maybe it’s more comfortable than a blowj*b?
……
His own brain made Qi Yu choked and forcibly swallowed the piece of beef.
Fu Yansheng’s brows furrowed and he asked, “What’s wrong. Did it taste bad?”
Qi Yu rubbed the front of his throat. “No, it just got stuck in my throat.”
However, Qi Yu really was a bit slow to eat. Fu Yansheng was almost finished but there was still half of the steak left on his plate.
Fu Yansheng was afraid he would force it, so he said directly, “If you can’t eat it, don’t.”
Qi Yu insisted on taking a few more bites and explained, “It’s not bad, I just don’t have much of an appetite today.”
Fu Yansheng: “It’s alright. Shall we go out to eat tonight?”
Qi Yu nodded. He also asked Fu Yansheng if he wanted to go see a concert. When he went to buy the belt, he passed by the concert hall and saw a poster for a symphony orchestra tour. The two of them had been busy for so long and he had just finished his exams, he also wanted to relax a bit.
Fu Yansheng agreed. The two spent the afternoon at home, conversing about the current situation of the Technology Development Department. Towards the evening, they changed their clothes and headed out together.
Unlike that morning, Qi Yu added a windbreaker to his outfit. However, he hadn’t expected that as soon as he go downstairs, a strong wind blew his way and he was sent sneezing again.
“Are you okay?” Fu Yansheng frowned.
Qi Yu wrapped the windbreaker tightly around him and shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
At that time, Qi Yu really thought he was fine. He and Fu Yansheng walked to a Cantonese restaurant to have dinner but Qi Yu still didn’t have much of an appetite. His throat was also a little sore. After eating a little bit, they went to the concert hall.
It was an hour long concert but ten minutes in and Qi Yu was already feeling a little drowsy. It was not that he wasn’t interested but as he listened, he began to grow dizzy.
In the darkness, he felt Fu Yansheng hold his hand. It was supposed to be an affectionate move but Fu Yansheng suddenly asked, “Why is your hand so hot?”
Then, a pair of cool hands probed his head. He heard Fu Yansheng say, sounding serious, “You’re running a fever.”
Qi Yu said, dazed, “Really?”
He too touched his forehead. It suddenly hit him that he really was feverish. No wonder he kept feeling cold.
Fu Yansheng asked, “Don’t you feel unwell?”
Qi Yu: “Just a little dizzy…”
Fu Yansheng said anxiously, “Can you get up? Let’s go back.”
By this time, Qi Yu was already a little slow to react. After listening to Fu Yansheng’s words, it took a few seconds before he said, wondering, “Aren’t we watching the concert?”
Fu Yansheng frowned and said, “You have a fever. Don’t you want to go back and take a good rest?”
Qi Yu just stayed there for a while, feeling dazed. Helplessly, he was helped by Fu Yansheng.
Fortunately, they lived relatively close. The two quickly got back home. Fu Yansheng asked Qi Yu head to bed and lay down. He poured a cup of hot water for him to drink, and asked, “Besides the headache, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”
Qi Yu cleared his throat and said, “My throat hurts.”
Fu Yansheng frowned: “When did it start?”
Qi Yu thought back. “When I come out after the exam this morning.”
Fu Yansheng: “No wonder your appetite is so bad. Maybe it’s because you’ve been tired these days or maybe you’ve caught a cold. I’ll go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy a thermometer and some anti-fever medicine. You just lie down.”
Qi Yu pulled him to stop and said, “Let Wang Meng go.”
Fu Yansheng was surprised and said, amused, “You’re a grown man and you still don’t want me to leave?”
Qi Yu let go and whispered, “Then go.”
Fu Yansheng looked at his slightly furrowed brows and his stubbornly prused lips. He obviously didn’t sound at all like he was acting spoiled but that posture of his made him look very aggrieved.
Fu Yansheng sighed and ran his slender fingers into his hair, rubbing his scalp. He said, “Forget it, I’ll stay here.”
Seeing the curvature of Qi Yu’s mouth slightly change, Fu Yansheng smiled helplessly. Sitting directly by his bedside, he made a call to Wang Meng.
Listening to the man calmly explaining to Wang Meng what he wanted him to buy, Qi Yu felt an indescribably sense of ease.
Fu Yansheng hung up the phone and asked him again, “It’s been such a long time since this morning, why didn’t you say anything about being unwell?”
Qi Yu also looked a little annoyed. “It’s been a long time since I was last sick.”
Fu Yansheng rubbed his head and teased, “And here I was, planning to do you tonight. But seeing as you’re sick, I’ll give you a pass.”
Maybe his brain was running a little slow because of the fever or maybe he wanted to intentionally fight back, Qi Yu actually blurted out, sounding a bit regretful, “I was also planning to try it with you tonight too. What a pity…”
Fu Yansheng: “…………”
The author has something to say: [Little Theater]
Qi Yu untied Fu Yansheng’s belt.
Fu Yansheng:? ? ? Has my wife been enlightened? Playing such a stimulating game! Excited! Must hold back my appetite and welcome this!
Qi Yu changed Fu Yansheng’s belt for him.
Fu Yansheng:? ? ? I was all ready to take my pants off and you’re giving me this? I was all excited for nothing! Just wait until tonight when I settle scores with you!
That night, Qi Yu became ill.
Fu Yansheng: F*ck my life!

Organization member: We’ve been fed another mouthful of dog food.
Fu Yansheng: It’s really not that I don’t like receiving them. The main reason is that every time I receive a gift that exceeds 4K, I have to check the price and submit a report… Comrade Xiao Yu, I know you love me, but can we keep a low profile?
XDDDD Fu Yansheng needs to report gifts worth more than 4K?! I guess it makes sense, to make sure that people in his secret ‘line of job’ doesn’t take unaccounted bribes… But still XD
Sick Qi Yu: bold, affectionate, and adorably ditzy
Fu Yansheng: I like and dislike this side of my little fish. What a torturous life I live.
Their little theaters are the best 😂
another day of fu yansheng with blue balls
thanks for the chapter!
No wonder FYS told QY not to buy him gifts 😅😅😅
