Chapter 84
Qiao Shao clearly remembered what he said and wondered, “Didn’t you say that it was your mother who requested this from the temple?”
Why did it change to his dad?
How could Wei Jiayu remember what he had pulled out of his ass back then? He said vaguely, “Ah, my mother?”
Is Shen Ge his mother? Tampering with Shen Ge’s gender, does he not want to live anymore!
Fearing that the poor little ghost would expose to He Shen him during a spell of pillow talk, Wei Jiayu hurriedly emphasized once again. “You heard it wrong, I said my dad!”
Qiao Shao might be last in their exam but there was no problem with his mind. He said, “You said your mother.”
What was the matter with this Blue Hair?
Wei Jiayu brought in a helper and said, “I said it was my dad. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Chen Su!”
He found Chen Su’s WeChat, and sent him a 188 yuan red envelope. He said to Chen Su, “Dad! Later, in the group, just say it was my dad!”
He then pulled Chen Su into a WeChat group to testify for him.
Chen Su had just finished cooking when he saw this WeChat. Expressionlessly, he replied with, “Nutjob.” He didn’t open the red envelope.
Wei Jiayu blew up and cursed him directly in the group, “Four-eyed Chen, can you f*cking talk like a human being?”
Chen Su also asked him in the group: “Who were you calling father?”
Wei Jiayu said angrily, “Dad! I said dad! And I was talking about my dad!”
Chen Su, “Oh, okay, son.”
Wei Jiayu: “…”
Watching the ruckus, Qiao Shao was very amused. He no longer cared whether it was Wei Jiayu’s father or mother. He said, “Doesn’t matter whether it was your dad or your mom, just go and ask which temple they got it from.”
Chen Su saw Qiao Shao’s message and asked, “What temple?”
Qiao Shao was about to explain what he wished to do, when the cruel and ruthless Wei Jiayu kicked out the completely useless Chen Su from the group.
Wei Jiayu: “Useless waste!”
Qiao Shao laughed and said, “You two have such a good relationship now.”
Wei Jiayu blew up in anger. “‘Good relationship, my ass! That Four-eyed Chen is taking advantage of Laozi’s good temper to climb all over Laozi!”
He may sound fierce, but Qiao Shao knew it was just a joke among friends.
Thinking of how Chen Su was before and seeing how he was now, he really had changed a lot.
And this change was all thanks to Wei Jiayu.
Qiao Shao’s heart felt warm.
Wei Jiayu went to call He Shen.
As soon as he heard, He Shen understood. The corner of his lips ticked up in a smile. “I’ll go and talk to him.”
Wei Jiayu didn’t dare say anything. He could only leave things to He Shen and wait for the poor little ghost laugh at his own foolishness!
Qiao Shao waited for a long time but instead of getting a call from Wei Jiayu, he got one from He Shen instead.
He Shen asked him, “What would you like to thank the temple for?”
Qiao Shao’s face turned hot and he pretended not to know what he was talking about. “Ah?”
He Shen said, “I heard from Wei Jiayu that you wanted to give thanks to a temple.”
Qiao Shao firmly held the wooden fortune in his hand and said, “Wei Jiayu has a big mouth!”
He told him to ask his dad so off he went to ask his Papa He!
He Shen admitted, “I know which temple the wooden fortunes came from.”
Qiao Shao was a little superstitious because of his grandpa’s influence. He really wanted to go and pay his respects to the temple. “So, which temple is it?”
He Shen smiled. “Tell me what you want to thank them for first.”

Qiao Shao: “………”

He Shen: “How can you say it’s accurate when your tests turned out like that?”
Qiao Shao: “…”
He Shen let go of the reins only to grasp them better. “You should go to bed early.”
Qiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to hang up so that he could call Wei Blue Hair and scold him.
He Shen added, “It’s no use to call Wei Jiayu. I was the one who requested these wooden fortunes. He doesn’t know anything.”
Qiao Shao was surprised and quickly asked, “You were the one who requested for them?”
Why was it that this Blue Hair couldn’t tell a single bit of truth!
He Shen sighed lightly. “At that time, I saw that you were too nervous and wanted to help you relax.”
Qiao Shao stared blankly. “Then why didn’t you just…”
He hadn’t finished talking when it dawned on him.
He Shen forced a smile. “You were doing your best to avoid me. I didn’t dare approach lest I provoke you.”
Qiao Shao’s heart felt sour-sweet. For a while, he couldn’t say anything.
He Shen felt that the crucial moment was almost at hand. His prey was in the trap and he closed in and said, “Unfortunately, turns out this wooden fortune was a dud.”
Little fish Qiao was caught on the hook. “No, it wasn’t!”
He Shen asked, “Didn’t you draw “great luck”?”
Qiao Shao paused and admitted in a small voice, “I didn’t ask for luck in the exam …”
He Shen’s lips hooked up in a smile. “Oh? Then what did you ask for?”
Qiao Shao held his phone tightly. His face was so red it was like he was burning and his voice was so small, you almost couldn’t make out his words. “Back then, I …”
He Shen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, “En?”
Qiao Shao closed his eyes and blurted out, “I asked if I would be successful in confessing to you.”
He Shen had vaguely guessed the answer, but after hearing Qiao Shao say it, he was still blinded by the bright light of fireworks exploding.
After saying so, Qiao Shao felt so shy he could just die. But he still insisted, “So, it was really, really accurate. Now, where did you get it from? I want to go and thank…
He Shen couldn’t say anything.
Qiao Shao explained, “I know there aren’t any supernatural beings. I don’t believe it either but I can’t just let this good omen go.”
The confession was successful and he was perfectly contented. He was grateful for everything.
What part of it did He Shen not understand?
He Shen whispered, “I know it’s late …”
Qiao Shao didn’t understand what he was getting at. “Huh?”
He Shen said with a hoarse voice, “… but I want to see you.”
Qiao Shao’s ears went limp. He buried himself in his mattress. His voice trembled. “What …”
He Shen said, “Tell me a place.”
Qiao Shao blushed and said, “It’s almost eleven!”
He Shen: “You don’t have to come down, I can just look at you from downstairs.”
Qiao Shao felt that he urgently needed ice to cool down. “You’re just going to be running around in the middle of the night.”
He Shen said, “Just once. I just want to see you.”
Qiao Shao was almost burned by this hot syrupy sweetness. “Tomorrow … I’ll go see you tomorrow.”
He Shen said, “I can’t wait for a second longer.”
Qiao Shao couldn’t hold on to his phone. This guy, this guy … This was a foul! Against the rules!
If it weren’t because he couldn’t expose his house, he would have …
No, it’s almost eleven o’clock. Whatever for would he let He Shen run over and take a look? Even if he lived in an ordinary place, he shouldn’t make him run around like that.
But……
Qiao Shao poked out his little head from where it was buried deep in his pillow. “Wait.”
He Shen said, “Don’t hang up.”
Qiao Shao had already hung up.
He Shen felt a little disappointed.
Soon, Qiao Shao called again. This time, it was a video call.
He Shen immediately answered the call.
Qiao Shao hid in the underground utility room, and he didn’t dare look at He Shen, “This should be okay, right?”
Qiao Shao needn’t have looked for the plainest white wall in his house, even if he stayed in his bedroom, He Shen wouldn’t have seen the exquisite decorations.
Because he only had eyes for Qiao Shao.
Qiao Shao saw that he wasn’t saying anything and he took a glance from out the corner of his eyes. “If you’ve finished looking, I’ll hang up …”
He’s gone crazy. He had ran straight downstairs. He didn’t even know if he had disturbed Aunt Wu.
If he was found by Aunt Wu, how could he explain why he was hiding here at half past eleven?
He Shen looked at him without blinking. “Tomorrow I will take you to the temple.”
Qiao Shao was also reluctant to hang up. “En.”
He Shen said, “I really can’t meet with you today?”
Qiao Shao stared at him from across the phone. “Look at the time!”
He Shen said, “But …”
Qiao Shao’s cheeks were flushed crimson and he couldn’t hide it. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
He Shen’s gaze was scalding. “That’s at least nine more hours.”
Qiao Shao’s heart was thumping. “If you sleep, it will be tomorrow morning before you know it.”
He Shen honestly said, “I can’t sleep.”
Qiao Shao couldn’t resist him anymore. “Then what should I do?”
What to do? If I hold you, I can get to sleep…
But He Shen knew that was impossible, and so he settled for second best. “Sing a lullaby to me.”
Qiao Shao: “……………………”
He Shen quickly took it back. “Forget it.”
Qiao Shao was actually considering it!
He Shen realized what he was thinking. He said: “If you really sing, I’ll have to find your house, even if I have to look up and down S City to find it.”
Qiao Shao: “!”
He Shen stared at him again for a while longer, and finally whispered, “Sweet dreams.”
Qiao Shao was moved, and said, “Maybe I could…”
He Shen intended him: “Don’t.”
Qiao Shao bit his lower lip.
He Shen said, “If you come to me now, I’ll drop out of school and take you to get married.”
What and what!
Qiao Shao couldn’t stand it anymore and he hung up the phone.
What was that bastard thinking!
Qiao Shao stayed in the utility room for a long time. When he finally calmed himself, he grumbled and snuck back to his bedroom.
Back in his bedroom, he received a WeChat from He Shen. “See you tomorrow.”
Qiao Shao didn’t want to pay him any attention anymore.
But five seconds later, he gave in and replied, “See you tomorrow.”
He Shen did not dare to send any more messages. He took his mobile phone, leaned against the railing, and let the cold evening wind blow against his face.
— Fate was fair.
After he had gone through the long dark night, he was given an angel.
The next morning, Qiao Shao woke up at five am.
It was already eleven o’clock when he and He Shen hung up last night, but he woke up after sleeping for only six hours.
There was no other reason. It was just because He Shen said last night— at least nine more hours.
Qiao Shao wanted to shorten his estimate by two hours.
After washing up, he headed downstairs. Qiao Zongmin was also awake. “Up so early?”
Qiao Shao said, “I have an appointment with a friend … to go hiking.”
Qiao Zongmin said cheerfully, “Why didn’t you tell me last night?”
Qiao Shao had no intention of lying. He cleared his throat and said, “It was only settled at past ten last night.”
Qiao Zongmin asked, “How many of you are going?”
Qiao Shao said, “Just me and my seatmate.”
Qiao Zongmin was kind of disappointed: “Just you two?”
Qiao Shao said, “En …”
Qiao Zongmin didn’t think much about it, but he felt it was a pity. “Why not ask a few friends to go together with you?”
Qiao Shao didn’t want to call other people … Especially considering what he wanted to thank the temple for.
Fortunately, Qiao Shao had something else to discuss, and changed the topic. “That’s right, dad, I have something to discuss with you.”
Qiao Zongmin asked, “What?”
Qiao Shao said, “My seatmate got a temporary summer position at Shen Hai Group.”
Qiao Zongmin’s eyes lit up. “This young man’s not bad.”
Now this was a topic Qiao Shao was willing to listen to. He added, “He’s really great. He’s first in the entire city.” He couldn’t hide the small swell of pride in his voice.
Qiao Zongmin said, “Then I’ll look for an opportunity and go…”
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Shao quickly reminded him, “Don’t go see him!”
Qiao Zongmin said, “Shouldn’t I go greet my employees?”
Qiao Shao said, “The main point is that I want to work with him.”
Qiao Zongmin was startled.
Qiao Shao clarified the matter. “I also want to have a summer job. We’ll work together, so please arrange it for me.”
Qiao Zongmin understood. “Don’t worry. I promise, I won’t expose you.”
Qiao Shao wasn’t too worried. For one thing, summer interns were too low on the totem pole to cross paths with the high-level executives. At the same time, even if they accidentally encounter one another, after reminding Da Qiao, he definitely won’t expose him.
Qiao Shao went out to take a taxi. It wasn’t even six o’clock yet when he arrived at He Shen’s place.
He looked at the time and felt embarrassed. He came so early … it was …
Who knew that He Shen would suddenly open the door, garbage bag in hand.
Qiao Shao said, mouth dry, “Good Mor- … Ah …”
The garbage bag fell to the ground. He Shen pulled him into the apartment and kissed him against the door.
