Burning HeartChapter 5

Qin Yi regretted it very much. To be more precise, his emotion could be called “fear after the event”.

He had had girlfriends before and had sexual experience, but he had never had any thoughts about men. What he did that night was more like an emotional catharsis for him—having sex with a strange man in a bleak and desolate suburban small building. jM6Lsf

After it was over, he hurriedly pulled up his pants and left. He saw no one else when he came downstairs. When Yu Panwen called him later, he didn’t answer and directly turned off his phone.

Lying in bed that night, Qin Yi started a new round of anxiety. He began to recall the process. Although he wore a condom, the condom was prepared by Ji Ranxin. He didn’t know why such a good-looking man would invite a stranger in the suburbs to have sex outdoors, but this man definitely lived a casual and chaotic life. Could there be some other reason why he deliberately seduced him?

Qin Yi broke out in a cold sweat. He didn’t dare to dwell on these two words, so he could only bury his face in the pillow and force himself to fall asleep.

For the rest of the week, he kept avoiding Yu Panwen. Finally, on Friday afternoon, when he was leaving school carrying his backpack, he met Yu Panwen, who was driving a car and waiting for someone at the school gate. nNM9yw

Yu Panwen drove his family’s BMW, pressed down the car window, and shouted to Qin Yi: “Hey! Qin Yi!”

Qin Yi’s eyes met with his. He couldn’t pretend not to hear, so he had no choice but to walk over.

Yu Panwen put an arm on the edge of the car window and cursed at him: “Fuck you! Why haven’t you answered my phone calls these two days? I asked you to take care of Qu Hao that night. Where did you hide from Laozi? ”

Qin Yi didn’t answer. He just walked to the car and said coldly: “What’s the matter?”

Before Yu Panwen could say something, Lu Qingyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned over and said with a grin: “Qin Yi, get in the car. Let’s go have fun together!”

Yu Panwen looked fierce, but he was actually the one who most wanted to keep Qin Yi close to him. As long as Qin Yi was around, he would always be the boss, and no one would dare mess with him. So he said: “Get in the car. We’ll go to intercontinental for the weekend.”

Qin Yi didn’t answer. He glanced at the time and turned to leave.

Yu Panwen hastily stopped him: “You really don’t want to go? Can’t you go back next week?”

Qin Yi endured his temper as he answered him: “There’s something going on at home.” Then he left without looking back. v2zfA5

He was not just being perfunctory to Yu Panwen. He really had matters at home tonight.

Qin Yi’s mother died of illness five years ago, when he was still in junior high school. His father, Qin Feng, went to the hospital to take care of his mother while rushing home to cook for him every day. Life was very hard. Fortunately, Qin Feng’s boss at that time, Yu Panwen’s father, Yu Meng, took good care of him and lent some money to his family. So later on, Qin Feng followed Yu Meng wholeheartedly in running projects. Qin Yi excelled in middle school at that time, and he had been very close to Yu Panwen for a long time.

After his mother passed away, Qin Feng took Qin Yi alone. It wasn’t until Qin Yi went to college last year that someone said he wanted to introduce a woman to Qin Feng, and Qin Feng got interested.

Since last year, someone had introduced two or three people to Qin Feng one after another, but none of them were suitable. Then last month, someone introduced Qin Feng to a woman who had returned from another part of the country. They said that the woman had a son who was admitted to a university here. She also wanted to follow him, so she met Qin Feng. As a result, both parties were very satisfied and quickly moved in together. 3NQ9Ze

Qin Yi met that woman once. She was a woman with beautiful and elegant facial features. She still maintained a slender figure in her early forties, and her skin was tight. The only flaw was a scar on her face, which was very obvious. This seemed to make her self-esteem low. She dressed very simply, spoke in a soft voice, and had a humble attitude.

Qin Yi didn’t care whether he was satisfied with her or not, as long as Qin Feng liked her. In the days to come, he would probably spend less and less time with his father. It was naturally best for his father to have someone take care of one another.

Qin Feng arranged a meal at home tonight, saying that the woman’s son was coming over. He encouraged all of them to come and sit down, eat together, and embrace the prospect of becoming a family from this point forward.

Qin Yi was sitting in the last row of the bus with a bag on his back, listening to music with earphones plugged in his ears. He looked out the window and saw the overcast sky, as if dark clouds were in the process of gathering the autumn rain that was about to come. lre2k

The bus traveled on the road for more than fifty minutes. After getting off the bus, Qin Yi walked along the narrow street for ten minutes to return to his family’s old community.

When he walked into the apartment building, Qin Yi came across his old neighbor aunt, who lived next door, calling his name loudly. He nodded as a greeting and ran up the stairs two steps at a time.

The door to the house was ajar and unlocked. When Qin Yi pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Qin Feng setting the table. He called out “Dad” and smoothly closed the door.

Qin Feng raised his head and said with a smile: “You’re back, la!” zdRYBC

Qin Yi nodded and entered his own room to put down his bags. As soon as he came in through the door, he saw a steel wire bed next to his own bed. His room was not big to begin with, so when the wire bed and his bed were placed side by side, it almost formed a big bed.

Qin Feng followed him and explained in a whisper: “Your Aunt Shi’s son will come over later. We don’t have a car to go back from school in the evening. We can only make do with this cramped space while we will live together tonight. You’re both boys, anyway.”

Qin Yi only said: “I can sleep on the sofa.”

“There’s a bed to sleep on, why would you sleep on the sofa!” Qin Feng said immediately. After saying that, he pushed Qin Yi out, “Your aunt is preparing dinner for you in the kitchen. Go and say hello to her first.” TGyxq9

Qin Yi was pushed to the kitchen by Qin Feng. When he saw the woman named Shi Menglan wearing an apron and in the process of cooking, he called out: “Auntie.”

Shi Menglan immediately turned around, bowed towards him nervously, and hurriedly put on a smile, “Qin Yi is back, la?” Her face seemed a little red, making the scars on her face more obvious.

Qin Feng squeezed into the kitchen from Qin Yi and said to Shi Menglan, “I’m here to help you.”

Shi Menglan thought of the food in the pot and quickly turned around to hold the spatula. mhA0H9

Qin Yi said: “You guys get busy first.” Then he left alone.

He returned to his room and stared blankly at the two beds together for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

There was no movement between the two people in the kitchen. It seemed that they didn’t hear the sound due to the range hood, so Qin Yi himself walked outside. He thought that it should be Shi Menglan’s son. GpIKM

Qin Yi reached out and opened the door. The young boy outside was wearing pants and a short-sleeved T-shirt. He was looking up at the house number. When he saw his face clearly, Qin Yi suddenly felt his blood surge up, his whole body turning cold.

Ji Ranxin also saw Qin Yi. He was a little confused at first, but then he realized something. He bit his lip and laughed.
