Zheng QiuYang said he couldn’t return home. Just as Yuan Rui was feeling slightly bored at home, Fan ShiQing called to ask him if he was home.
He said: “Of course. I can’t go anywhere. Are you coming to play with me? Luckily I haven’t started cooking yet.”
On the other side, Fan ShiQing said with a heavy tone: “It’s not to play with you. I want to stay at your place for a few days.”
Yuan Rui: “……Ah?”
Fan ShiQing said: “Right now, I’m wandering around on the streets with my luggage. If you don’t accept me, I can only go live in a hotel.”
Yuan Rui asked, flabbergasted: “What happened? Did your house get demolished? Where’s Wang Qi?”
Fan ShiQing said angrily: “Don’t mention that big scumbag to me!”
There’s no way Yuan Rui would believe Wang Qi was a scumbag. He suspected that Fan ShiQing was making something out of nothing again.
Fan ShiQing said: “Speak already! Is it okay or not?”
Yuan Rui was somewhat in a tough spot. He felt like Zheng QiuYang definitely wouldn’t like it, but to ignore Fan ShiQing’s plight seemed a bit too disloyal as a friend. After conflicting for a moment, he finally said: “Why don’t you come over first and we can discuss the issue.”
It didn’t take long for Fan ShiQing to arrive. Sure enough, he dragged a suitcase behind him. Immediately after entering, he started cursing loudly about Wang Qi. Yuan Rui didn’t even have a chance to interrupt. It wasn’t until he got tired of cursing, and even his voice sounded a bit cracked, that Yuan Rui hastily poured a cup of warm water for him.
“Just what exactly happened?” Yuan Rui asked him: “Did you guys get into an argument?”
Fan ShiQing drank half of the cup of water in one breath before saying angrily: “Who would argue with a scumbag like that!”
Yuan Rui said: “Then what happened?”
With an indignant expression, Fan ShiQing turned to look at Yuan Rui and asked: “Am I good-looking?”
Yuan Rui was utterly baffled and answered honestly: “Yes, you’re good-looking.”
Fan ShiQing then asked: “Then who’s better looking, me or Bai Tu?”
Yuan Rui: “……”
So why did Fan ShiQing run away from home? Because Wang Qi had praised right in front of him: Bai Tu is really very good-looking.
Yuan Rui: “Hahahahahaha.”
Fan ShiQing: “……”

Yuan Rui tactfully mediated: “Don’t be so imaginative.”
Fan ShiQing pointed at his own nose and questioned loudly: “I’m too imaginative? You should consider this from a different perspective! If Zheng QiuYang said the same thing in front of you, wouldn’t you get angry?”
Yuan Rui said: “Of course I wouldn’t get angry. Bai Tu is better looking than me.”
Fan ShiQing: “…… but how is he better looking than me!”
Yuan Rui wanted to speak but hesitated. He didn’t dare to say it out loud but his face had the words ‘hurry up and wake up already dear’ written all over it.
After Fan ShiQing boasted, even he felt somewhat ashamed of himself. Nevertheless, he mumbled reluctantly, still unwilling to admit it: “In comparison, we’re pretty much the same….. Didn’t you say you were going to make food for me?”
Yuan Rui went to cook. Fan ShiQing acted casually like this was his own house. He grabbed juice from the fridge, and then pulled out a few boxes of snacks. Holding the huge pile, he placed it on the coffee table and then nested on the sofa, eating snacks while watching tv. Occasionally, he’d glance at the phone, waiting for Wang Qi to call proactively to apologize for the mistake and coax him home.
As Yuan Rui cooked in the kitchen, he couldn’t help but fantasize briefly, if Wang Qi truly did get together with Bai Tu…… Aiya, it’s better not to think about it. It felt pretty rude to his Liang-ge.
The two people ate together. After Yuan Rui finished cleaning up the kitchen, he saw that Fan ShiQing still didn’t have any plans to return home. Wang Qi also didn’t call, therefore Fan ShiQing seemed to have gotten even angrier.
Yuan Rui had no choice but to tidy up the guest bedroom somewhat and invite Fan ShiQing to stay temporarily for tonight.
Then the two of them watched TV together. Lately, Yuan Rui has been following a cultivation action series with Song HuanYan as the lead actor. Fan ShiQing wasn’t too interested and was somewhat absent-minded. He sat to the side, playing with his phone.
After the TV series ended, it was already 10 o’clock. Zheng QiuYang still hasn’t returned.
Even Fan ShiQing said: “How come he’s not back yet?”
Yuan Rui said: “Probably because it’s been a while since he’s been there; his mom missed him, so she’s keeping him there for a bit longer. Perhaps, he’s already on his way back.”
He sent Zheng QiuYang a message on WeChat, asking him if he was on the way back; there’s been heavy smog in the last two days, Yuan Rui reminded him to be careful while driving.
After waiting for half a minute, Zheng QiuYang replied: “Tonight I probably won’t be returning. It’s inconvenient to talk about it in depth right now. You can go ahead and sleep.”
Yuan Rui instantly felt a bit worried. Did something happen?
Seeing his concerned face, Fan ShiQing said: “Don’t scare yourself. Maybe his mom saw that the weather doesn’t look good and told him to stay over there.”
Yuan Rui said: “It’s far from his work over there. His mom usually wouldn’t keep him. Not to mention, if that were the case, he wouldn’t say it’s inconvenient to talk in depth. Aiya, could it be that his mom is feeling unwell again? Last time, she sprained her hand. It still hasn’t healed. She also has high blood pressure.”
Fan ShiQing suggested: “How about I come with you to go take a look?”
Yuan Rui kind of wanted to go, but he was also afraid that Mama Zheng didn’t feel well and would become even angrier seeing him. He said: “Ah forget it. Even if she didn’t have high blood pressure, it’ll become high upon seeing me. It’s better to just let QiuYang stay there alone with her.”
Fan ShiQing clapped his hands together and said: “It’s also a good thing that he doesn’t return. We can do whatever we want.”
Yuan Rui: “…… what do you want to do?”
Fan ShiQing gave a lewd smile and said: “Teach you something fun of course.”
Zheng QiuYang did his best and finally managed to coax his mom into a temporary calm. Who knew how many days she had spent without closing her eyes; as soon as she laid down on the sofa, she immediately fell asleep.
Perhaps after seeing her son, her mood became much better than being cooped up alone inside the house, overthinking and stressing.
Afraid of waking his mom up, Zheng QiuYang dodged into a room to give Yuan Rui a phone call. He asked: “Did you sleep yet?”
Somewhat out of breath, Yuan Rui said: “Not, not yet.”
Zheng QiuYang said: “What are you doing?”
Yuan Rui said: “Nothing, nothing. How is it over there?”
Not wanting to go into detail over the phone, Zheng QiuYang just said: “It’s nothing. My mom feels a bit unwell. I’m keeping her company.”
Yuan Rui hastily asked: “Then is Auntie a bit better now?”
Zheng QiuYang said: “She’s already sleeping.”
Yuan Rui felt relieved and said: “That’s good. You should sleep early too. Tomorrow, you still have to go to work.”
Zheng QiuYang said: “En, don’t stay up too late yourself.”
Seeing Yuan Rui hang up the phone, Fan ShiQing asked: “Your boyfriend? What did he say? Is there a problem?”
Yuan Rui said: “Not anything major. His mom is a bit unwell, but she’s sleeping now.”
Fan ShiQing nodded his head and said: “Let’s continue, continue.”
Yuan Rui laughed bitterly and positioned himself back on the yoga mat. He asked: “Where was this leg? Was it like this? Yes or no?”
Fan ShiQing scolded, saying: “No no! You’re really too dumb!”
Yuan Rui was maneuvered by him for quite a while but felt like he really couldn’t learn it. Exhausted and half dead, he laid there saying: “As models, our fundamental skills are based on five points in a line, practicing to remain firm and rigid at all times. Now it’s impossible to soften. Forget it, I’m not learning anymore.”
Fan ShiQing purely wanted to show off and deliberately posed in an extremely contorted and difficult posture. He looked just like his tendons had been detached and his bones were dislocated.
Sure enough, Yuan Rui said in envy: “Wah, you’re so flexible.”
Actually, Fan ShiQing was practically about to cramp up. Nevertheless, he said stubbornly: “It’s really nothing special.”
But Yuan Rui just had to mention: “Have you seen this movie by Bai Tu? He acted as an assassin. To get close to a certain target, he hid his entire body inside a suitcase. When I first saw it, I thought it was a stuntman or post-production special effects. It wasn’t until I saw the interview later on that I learned it was really his own performance. He is the type of person who’s naturally very flexible.”
Fan ShiQing: “……”
“Speaking of which, Bai Tu is truly especially favored by the Creator.” The more Yuan Rui spoke, the more enthusiastic he became: “Flexible and athletic, with a good temperament, good acting skills, and also, he’s such a kind hearted person. Not to mention, good looking as well. He’s practically incomparable and perfect.”
Fan ShiQing: “…….”
Seeing his unsightly complexion, Yuan Rui finally recalled the issue here and hastily presented the consolation prize: “You’re also, you’re the same. Good-looking and very flexible…… Don’t be unhappy anymore.”
Fan ShiQing rolled his eyes and said: “My waist……”
With a flash of enlightenment, Yuan Rui hastily agreed and said: “Yes yes yes, your waist is skinnier than Bai Tu. Wang Qi definitely likes you the most.”
Fan ShiQing said in agony: “My waist is about to break. Hurry up and help me up!”
Early morning the next day, Zheng QiuYang returned. When he opened the door and changed shoes in the entrance hall, he noticed shoes inside the shoe cabinet that he’s never seen before. It’s a pair of brogue engraved, ankle boots for men.
Yuan Rui, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, heard the noise. When he came out for a look and saw Zheng QiuYang, he immediately jogged over and said happily: “How come you returned so early? Here I thought you’d definitely go straight to the company.”
“Came back to take a look at you, and also switch clothes along the way.” Zheng QiuYang pointed at the pair of shoes and asked: “When did you buy these shoes? How come I’ve never seen you wear them before.”
Yuan Rui said: “That’s not mine. It’s Fan ShiQing’s. He’s sleeping in the guest room. Yesterday night, he stayed over.”
Zheng QiuYang’s expression looked somewhat odd.
Yuan Rui explained: “His boyfriend called my male god good-looking. He refused to accept that so he ran away from home.”
Zheng QiuYang said furiously: “Who cares why he ran away from home! Two big grown men like you guys, spending the night together. Aren’t you afraid that something might happen?!”
Yuan Rui: “……”
