Back in the classroom, Sheng Renxing saw the “weapon” in the trash can again. He asked Xing Ye, “Did you threaten that person?” and made a slashing motion across his own neck with his hand.

Xing Ye replied, “Just gave him a warning.” Uk246S

Turns out, it was true.

Sheng Renxing couldn’t help but look at him more, sighing, “You really have a bad temper in the morning.” How did he not notice this before?

Xing Ye didn’t try to explain, saying, “Those people looking for you are too annoying.”

Since that day, who knows what kind of rumors have spread, but fewer people have come looking for him. Apparently, not everyone who likes to watch a commotion is willing to fight Xing Ye for one. Dw8tCM

Sheng Renxing and the others were relatively quiet for a while. Xing Ye could sleep in class without being disturbed.

In no time, it was time for Sheng Renxing to go take the Olympiad again. He was going back to Anzhou to take the test, just like last time. He found a long-distance car to take him there.

Xing Ye hadn’t slept all night. In the morning, he rushed back from the chess room to wake him up.

Sheng Renxing, still half-asleep, was dragged up to wash. After going through the motions of getting up, he hadn’t fully woken up yet. He stood in front of Xing Ye without moving after coming out of the bathroom, staring at him to wake up.

“What’s wrong?” Xing Ye sat on the bed, looking up at him.

“I can’t find my bag.” Sheng Renxing frowned, looking groggy, and scanned the room with his eyes.

Xing Ye silently watched him for a moment, then leaned forward slightly and reached out, saying, “Come here, let me help you find it.”

Sheng Renxing, pulled by him, half-knelt and half-sat on him, pressing against his chest. IAYxyv

It took Sheng Renxing several seconds to react. He lifted his hand to hug him, his fingers threading through his hair, then reached to his nose to smell, unable to help but comment, “You smell bad.” It was all cigarette smoke.

Xing Ye made a sound of acknowledgement, ”Hmm”.

He leaned closer, and his hair slipped through Sheng Renxing’s fingers.

Sheng Renxing subconsciously tried to grab his hair again, but suddenly felt something warm and wet on his neck. By the time he realized what Xing Ye had done, he had already tightened his grip on Xing Ye’s hair, tilting his chin up to give him better access to his neck. After a moment, the hot, burning sensation on his skin suddenly surged. 5CgQWP

When they were in the car, Sheng Renxing, now fully awake, mechanically took a picture of his neck and sent it to Xing Ye: [The skin is broken.]

He glanced at the driver who was driving unaware through the rearview mirror, then typed again: [Miss my boyfriend.]

After a moment, Xing Ye replied: [/Hug] oX8F2w

Xing Ye: [Get some sleep and call me when you arrive.]

Sheng Renxing: [Okay, goodnight.]

Xing Ye: [Good night.]

His phone rang, bringing him back. He blinked and answered. There was a whistling wind on the other end, and Qiu Datou’s voice came through loudly, “I’ve arrived. Where are you?”

“Almost there,” Sheng Renxing couldn’t help but smile, “Just you?”

“Yeah!” Qiu Datou said, “Didn’t you say not to bring anyone else? I borrowed Wei Ge’s car. Don’t mistake me for someone else.” CJWryh

“?” Sheng Renxing asked, “Whose car did you borrow?”

“Hehe.” Qiu Datou laughed.

Sheng Renxing: “…” He looked at the gradually approaching flashy red car and hung up the phone.

“Damn it!” Knlut5

As soon as they saw each other, Qiu Datou immediately came over, opening his arms to welcome his good brother, “Big Brother Xingxing looks even more handsome now!”

Sheng Renxing rejected his hug and punched him in the chest, “Your head has gotten bigger too. Did you do it on purpose?”

“How could that be!” Qiu Datou put his arm around his shoulder and patted him firmly, while his other hand tapped the roof of the sports car, “Only this car can match my brother Xingxing’s style!”

This car was an eye-catching sight no matter where it was parked in the crowd. Although there weren’t many people around, the two of them attracted a hundred percent attention. Sheng Renxing opened the car door and threw his bag in, ignoring him. qn34rU

Qiu Datou was excited and asked in a rapid-fire manner, “Let’s go, where do you want to go? I’ll take you. What’s the plan now? How many days are you back for? Tonight, Xiangzi is organizing a car party. Can you come?”

Sheng Renxing raised a finger to silence him, “Your dad is hungry, let’s find somewhere to eat first. I’m just back for two days, not going to the party, too much trouble.” He pointed at his phone and put it to his ear.

“Why are you only back for two days?” Qiu Datou frowned and glanced at him, just in time to see Sheng Renxing make a call, speaking softly into the receiver. He inexplicably muted.

Xing Ye might have been asleep as it took a while for him to answer the phone. His voice was a bit hoarse, and the sound of the sheets rubbing could be heard, “Have you arrived?” FgE4Lk

“Yeah,” Sheng Renxing leaned against the car window, “I’ve also seen Qiu Datou. He’s taking me to dinner.”

Qiu Huaixin was eavesdropping and was caught off guard when he heard his nickname. He exclaimed and raised his fist to punch Sheng Renxing.

“Watch the road!” Sheng Renxing punched back.

On the other end, Xing Ye listened to the commotion and fell silent for a moment. “Hmm, be safe.” neXJVK

“Okay, you go to sleep. Call me when you wake up,” Sheng Renxing said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

After hanging up, Qiu Huaixin looked at him strangely and teased, “Who were you talking to?”

“None of your business,” Sheng Renxing raised an eyebrow.

“That’s strange,” Qiu Huaixin grinned oddly, “Your tone just now, is there something going on?” B5VNLk

Sheng Renxing smirked disdainfully at him and shrugged after a while, “Talking to my boyfriend.”

After five seconds, Qiu Huaixin took off his sunglasses and stared at him, feigning shock, “You really got him?!”

Sheng Renxing paused, squinting dangerously at him, “You think I couldn’t?”

When Sheng Renxing was pursuing Xing Ye, he had chatted with Qiu Huaixin a bit, but he didn’t know much. He had only heard Sheng Renxing praise Xing Ye. 1MTcfN

Qiu Huaixin awkwardly chuckled, “Of course not, I was just momentarily shocked!” After digesting it for a moment, he said, “Wait a minute! When did you two get together? Why didn’t you tell me?!” He turned his head, looking betrayed.

“On my birthday,” Sheng Renxing thought for a moment, looking puzzled, “Didn’t I tell you?”

“That might be because I blocked you too quickly that day and forgot.”

Qiu Huaixin: “How dare you say that so shamelessly!” IPtHM7

He grumbled, “You really have a cruel heart! If I didn’t have another card, you’d be talking to me like a starved-to-death ghost hanging on the wall!”

“If my heart weren’t cruel enough, you’d already be buried at sea.” Sheng Renxing smirked.

Qiu Huaixin remembered what he had done back then and touched his nose, “I was drunk, thinking I should give your dad something for your birthday. I did it just to help you benefit!”

“That’s right,” Sheng Renxing gave him a thumbs up, “I admire your willingness to bravely sacrifice yourself for your brother.” aOLYnP

Qiu Huaixin quickly changed the subject and glanced at him from behind his sunglasses, asking cautiously, “Are you staying at home or somewhere else today?”

“Why wouldn’t I go back to my house?” Sheng Renxing was puzzled.

Qiu Huaixin said, “Aren’t you afraid they’ll be angry?”

“If I’m angry, they’ll be even angrier,” Sheng Renxing smiled. bK7PHn
