Qi Jia hadn’t been on Zhihu for a long time. Because now, as soon as he saw that blue icon, his face would burn hot.
Shouldn’t he be embarrassed having someone exposed his secret in public? Just the thought of Fu Siyan reading his response word by word, the feeling was no different from having his diary discovered by his parents.
However, this also gave him this fuzzy feeling. He had always wanted to see what others would say about their relationship. Even if his response was deleted by Fu Siyan, the latter’s response was still available. Fu Siyan’s response got even louder in public as the number one response for that question.
After giving it some thought, Qi Jia clicked into the question.
As soon as he did, ‘A Certain Siyan’ username and that brazenly avatar came into view.
Qi Jia: “…”
The comment section was filled with tossing flowers and giving blessings. He scrolled through and read comments one at a time to the point of laughing out loud. Then when he came across a particular comment that said:
—You need to believe in yourself. There’s always going to be that one person in the world who is in a hurry to find you in the vast sea of people, the same as you are looking for him.
Qi Jia took a screenshot of that comment and sent it to Fu Siyan, who replied with: [You found the person.]
Qi Jia smiled. [How do you know that person is you?]
[If that person is not me, I’ll make it as me. You have no other choices.]
[So domineering…]
[But you like it, no?]
Qi Jia was jabbing at his screen by now, wishing he could travel through the screen to see what was filled in Fu Siyan’s brain for him to tease Qi Jia all day long yet had to be absent from his side.
Originally, Qi Jia thought distance would birth beauty, but now that he was in this long-distance relationship, he found out just how this distance was the most detectable thing in the world.
To separate him and Fu Siyan was to put him in the dark on what Fu Siyan was doing and who he was interacting with every day.
This was something he didn’t believe in himself. His desire for control and possession right now had intensified. Fortunately, Fu Siyan was clingier than he was, otherwise, it would surely be a disaster if the person was anyone else but Fu Siyan.
Before the matter of Zhihu came to light, Qi Jia could never summon up the courage to be proactive. When he finally did and visited Fu Siyan’s university, he didn’t greet any of the other person’s friends in passing, out of fear that they could spot something from his behavior.
Later when they had a good talk and became more intimate, he got more guts. Now he would take the initiative to ride the high-speed rail and visit Fu Siyan’s campus, telling Fu Siyan that he was waiting right outside the dormitory, just like how Fu Siyan did in the past.
But Fu Siyan felt distressed for letting him wait.
“Jia Jia, why are you here?” As soon as Fu Siyan reached the lobby, he ran to Qi Jia and panted between his questions.
Qi Jia held out his hand and smoothed down the hair that was out of place on Fu Siyan’s head. “You told me you would take me out to play. But that was a week ago, so I came here to find you myself.”
Recently, Fu Siyan had finished a large project and won rewards. For days, he had been talking about taking Qi Jia out somewhere. “I was just about to come to you this afternoon.”
Qi Jia smiled. “It’s the same thing.”
Fu Siyan led him into the building, but Qi Jia stopped him. “What are you doing?”

“…” Qi Jia tugged on Fu Siyan’s arms, faced the stairs and said, “Let’s not. I’m fe-feeling nervous.”
“What are you nervous for? They are all pretty nice guys. Gosh, fine, it’s me who wants you to see the place I’m living in. Jia Jia, everything will be fine.” Fu Siyan smoothed.
After being in a long stalemate, against Fu Siyan’s anticipating look, Qi Jia finally lost the will to reject, “Fine.”
Fu Siyan’s dorm was on the second floor. The corridor was quite spacious with instant noodle cups and trash bags outside of several rooms, no different from his own dormitory building. Sure enough, the guys’ dormitory was the same, more or less.
However, the outside of Fu Siyan’s room was quite clean. Fu Siyan got out his key, unlocked the door and welcomed Qi Jia in.
Because it was Saturday morning, the four-person dorm carried a relaxed and lazy atmosphere. One guy was lazing on his bed, another was playing his game, and the last one was washing his socks in the bathroom. When Fu Siyan led Qi Jia inside, Qi Jia was both nervous and shy. He stayed close by Fu Siyan’s side and did not talk.
“Hey, my family’s Qi Jia came up for a visit, so can you guys give him a proper welcome?”
His three roommates turned their attention to the entrance. After three seconds of silence, Qi Jia said with blushing cheeks, “He-hello?”
Then he heard three replies in different tones at the same time, “Hello, sister-in-law!”
“…Hello.”
Qi Jia turned to Fu Siyan, who looked very smug. He could picture Fu Siyan expressing their love with his three roommates every day.
Fu Siyan led Qi Jia to his bedside and pointed to his desk and bed. Qi Jia found that Fu Siyan quite liked cleanliness. He made his bed neatly, and his table was clear of clutter, especially in comparison with his other roommates.
Because there was a roommate who was in the middle of his game, he and Qi Jia exchanged simple pleasantries, breaking the awkward air.
“Yan-ge talks nonstop about you every day. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was Jia Jia this, Jia Jia that, we were practically on a dog food diet.”
“Sister-in-law, I want to make a report on Yan-ge. A few days ago, someone declared their undying love to my Yan-ge on the confession board.”
“Then can we also call you Jia Jia?” The roommate on the bed tested the water.
Fu Siyan vetoed it emotionlessly, “Rejected.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Although Yan-ge is very popular, he is absolutely loyal to you, no one else. If you don’t believe it, we can watch him in your place.”
Qi Jia smiled and said, “Thank you then.”
Fu Siyan smacked the back of the roommate’s head, the one that was playing games. “Just keep it to yourself.”
Qi Jia sat down briefly. As he was about to get up, he noticed the large plushie on the bed of the roommate, who was playing games.
“Oh, my girlfriend got it for me at Disney.” The guy explained. Then as if he thought of something, he added, “Oh right, Yan-ge, weren’t you looking for a place to take sister-in-law? Why not Disneyland? The ticket price is reasonable, and it’s a perfect dating spot for a couple.”
“Too childish.” Fu Siyan said.
“Sister-in-law, what do you think?” The guy turned and asked Qi Jia.
“I like the ideal.” Qi Jia didn’t want to refute the roommate’s goodwill.
Fu Siyan instantly changed his mind, “Then we go to Disneyland.”
The roommate tugged the corner of his lips. Such as a guy in a relationship…
When they exited the dorm, Qi Jia let out a long sigh, while Fu Siyan came out with his jacket and backpack, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Qi Jia shook his head. “That went well.”
It went better than he thought. If a person is willing to show another person himself without hiding anything, his feelings must be true and real. Qi Jia inexplicably felt warmth inside and smiled as he watched Fu Siyan close the door.
“I’ll show you my room next time.” Qi Jia said.
Fu Siyan pinched his nose. “Sure, as long as you’re offering.”
Now they agreed to go to Disneyland, Qi Jia began to plan. Fortunately, it happened to be a long weekend. As soon as he got an extra day off, any plan could be done.
_
Qi Jia got off of his stop and saw Fu Siyan, who was standing in front of the crowds and towering over the average heights. Not to mention his bright yellow jacket, he was very eye-catching just standing there.
Using small movements to straighten out his clothes and backpack, Qi Jia swiped his metrocard and walked out, going straight to the front of Fu Siyan. By the time Fu Siyan came back to his senses, he saw the smiling Qi Jia in front of him.
Qi Jia’s smiling intention was instantly gone when he saw no reaction from Fu Siyan. He distastefully gritted his teeth. “Where are you looking at?”
He thought the other person would look forward to this as well!
“Darling, you’re too fast.” Once Fu Siyan’s mind ceased to wander, he embraced Qi Jia at once. He knew he let himself get distracted, and it was a punishable crime that deserved a death penalty. Opting not to answer, he took Qi Jia into his arms and whispered into his ear, “I miss you so much.”
“There are people around us. Let go for now.” Qi Jia pushed him.
“Hehe.” Fu Siyan took the other person’s backpack, weighted it and carried it on his back. “It’s so light. Did you bring a change of clothes?”
“Yes, a few sets. It’s not that heavy in the first place.”
Once they were out of the station, they needed to stop by their hotel first. Fu Siyan stopped a taxi and helped Qi Jia into the car. In the car, Qi Jia nestled by Fu Siyan’s side while hugging his backpack on his lap. By the time the taxi started driving, he remembered one thing.
Qi Jia slowly pulled open the zippers, then as he used his hands to hide what was inside, he whispered to Fu Siyan, “Umm…I ordered two Alice bands online, ones you wear inside of Disneyland. I heard people mention that things sold in Disneyland are very expensive, so I ordered these in advance. Do you…want to see?”
This piqued Fu Siyan’s interest. He leaned over and acted mysteriously like Qi Jia. “Of course, what did you get?”
“Have you seen Zootopia? One is Judy, and the other is Nick.” Qi Jia closed his lips, put his hand into the backpack and took the Alice bands out. He placed one in front of Fu Siyan. “This is yours, while I’ll wear this one.”
Fu Siyan looked at the rabbit ears in his hand, then at the fox ears that Qi Jia was holding. He asked in confusion, “I’m the rabbit?”
“Yes, you are the rabbit.” Qi Jia purposely looked away from Fu Siyan. As his body moved with the car, and before he could move a single muscle, he was captured into Fu Siyan’s arms. The thin fabrics made ruffling sounds. Qi Jia’s face turned hot as he grumbled, “What? Why can’t you be the rabbit?”
Fu Siyan’s hand traveled from the back of Qi Jia’s waist to his thigh, taking the other person tightly into the crook of his arm. While he placed the Alice band right under Qi Jia’s chin to move his face, so they could make eye contacts. As the two pairs of eyes locked gaze, Qi Jia’s bashfulness got the best of him as he shifted his gaze. Then he heard Fu Siyan reply in a meaningful voice for their ears only, “Of—course—I—can.”
Qi Jia glanced at him in confusion.
The high-speed rail station was quite far from the hotel Fu Siyan had booked. The ride took nearly an hour. By the time they reached the hotel lobby, Qi Jia almost fell asleep. Fu Siyan pinched his earlobe and woke him up, “Darling, we’re here. You can sleep once we’re in our room.”
The first thing Qi Jia saw opening his eyes was the driver turning his head and looking back at them with a strange expression. He was not like Fu Siyan, who could show his love and affection publicly with great confidence. After they were official, Qi Jia often saw expressions like this from strangers.
The complicated, disgusted, and a hint of curious expression.
At first, Qi Jia felt hurt inside, but afterward, he was numb to these judging eyes. After all, it wasn’t like Fu Siyan could stop showing affection forever.
Not to mention how people he might meet only once in his lifetime could ever hope to compare the importance of his boyfriend.
Qi Jia calmly got out of the car and allowed himself to be led into the hotel by Fu Siyan.
“Are you hungry? Why don’t we go out and grab a bite first?” Fu Siyan put down his bags, sat on the bed and asked Qi Jia.
Qi Jia nodded and verbally agreed. They two then walked with the twilight and got their dinner. Qi Jia had slight motion sickness. On top of sitting through an hour of ride after the high-speed rail, his whole body was listless. He bonelessly leaned against Fu Siyan, who lowered his head and asked what Qi Jia wanted to eat. Qi Jia was too lazy to decide so he let Fu Siyan choose.
Fu Siyan was looking at the person in his arms in distress.
After a simple dinner, and feeling the refreshing night breeze while walking, Qi Jia finally regained his normal state. They walked back to the hotel hand in hand. This Disneyland was more remote as there was no sight of shadow around the hotel. Because there was hardly anyone, Qi Jia got the courage to ask Fu Siyan to carry him, on the pretext that his legs were sore.
Fu Siyan was naturally more than happy to oblige. As he was bending down, Qi Jia jumped onto Fu Siyan’s back in glee, hugging around Fu Siyan’s neck like a koala.
“You have long been thinking about getting me to carry you, haven’t you?”
Qi Jia ignored him and hummed an off-tune little tune, seemingly in a great mood.
Fu Siyan’s palms were in the crook of Qi Jia’s knee. When he adjusted his hold, Qi Jia got frightened and embraced tighter. He hid his cheek into the crook of Fu Siyan’s neck and snuggled like a kitten. Fu Siyan felt it and chuckled deeply. “If I knew I could be blessed like this, I would have brought you here last year.”
Unknowingly, by the time they got to the hotel, it was already nine in the evening.
Fu Siyan took a shower, while giving the bathtub to Qi Jia, who soaked in the comfortable hot water. Once he was done, he washed his and Fu Siyan’s underwear and hung it using the hotel hangers.
When he turned to grab the clothes to wash next, he saw the fox ear Alice band on top of the neatly folded pajamas.
Huh?
Oh my, kinky fox rabnit play incoming? (///v///)
