Lin Dongyang wiped the blood from between his fingers, then scrunched up the tissue and tried to find a trash can to throw it away. This conflict did not lead to any serious response. The students, who had glanced over, left one after another when they saw that the conflict had calmed down.
Qiao Yichen silently looked at Lin Dongyang’s indifferent attitude. He frowned and stopped talking, but An Qi continued, “Senior, don’t pay any attention to him. Call me if he comes to bother you again,” An Qi volunteered to take responsibility, feeling that it was because he had invited Lin Dongyang to the party that he had met Austin, and that he had now been troubled by Austin.
Lin Dongyang smiled. “It’s fine.”
It was embarrassing to talk about. The sooner he could close this chapter the better, he doesn’t want to get entangled. Wang Dan stood to the side and listened to them quietly, with no movement except that she had handed over tissues at the beginning. Lin Dongyang had planned to go to the library but he had been delayed by the man with piercings. He said to An Qi, “You can go back, I’m going to look for English materials in the library.”
Seeing him look at the female student by their side, An Qi immediately understood and said, “That’s fine, you go. We’ll go back to the dormitory first.”
Lin Dongyang waved goodbye to him, ignoring Qiao Yichen’s gloomy face the whole time. Then, he turned around and walked towards the library. Wang Dan nodded goodbye to both An Qi and Qiao Yichen, and followed Lin Dongyang through the library door.
An Qi pushed Qiao Yichen from behind. “Let’s go back to the dormitory. What do you want to eat tonight?”
Qiao Yichen didn’t speak. An Qi put his arm around his shoulder. Although there was a bit of a height difference, he was still able to reach. “What are you sulking about? Let me guess, is it about this Austin matter?”
Qiao Yichen didn’t respond. So, An Qi guessed again, “Is it because senior ignored you?”
Qiao Yichen glanced at him, which seemed to prove An Qi’s guess.
An Qi: “I have to tell you this. People always have to take care of the girls first. It’s ladies first.”
However, Qiao Yichen was stubborn. “Who says I’m angry?”
“It’s just the two of us, it’s no fun if you lie.” An Qi pouted.
Both of them argued all the way back to the dormitory building. At this time, the sun had long sunk in the west and the bright moon had revealed it’s curved shape. In the evening, a brilliant bright red flashed through the university campus, tearing apart the gradually darkening twilight. Qiao Yichen raised his eyebrows. The car looked very familiar.

An Qi: “Yo, we bumped into each other so soon.”

Austin liked to show off his unique personality everywhere he went. When he saw beautiful students, both male and female, he would throw them a charming glance, provoking the other persons’ heart to flutter and be restless.
An Qi gritted his teeth. “This beast! The menace has come to the school!”
Seeing his old friends approaching, Austin stood up straight and took two slow steps forward. His leather shoes made a dull sound on the ground.
“I can’t believe I ran into you two.”
“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you go back, pack up and get out?”
An Qi seamlessly touched Qiao Yichen, signaling him to pay more attention to his words. Austin had two purposes for coming to China this time. One was to be invited to attend the birthday party, and the other was to talk business with the Qiao company.
Qiao Yichen was unmoved. The company’s matter was his father and Austin’s business, it had nothing to do with him. His father almost made him a hostage in the hands of others because of the business, but his father never inquired about anything. It is impossible to say that he has no complaints, but he has become used to it by now. If his father didn’t care, then so be it. He had always had very little communication with his parents in the first place.
Twenty-year-old Qiao Yichen against twenty-eight-year-old Austin, a young schoolboy and a cunning old fox. The old fox wouldn’t be provoked by one word, and would even provoke his opponent in another way!
Austin narrowed his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette, then exhaled a choking puff of smoke into Qiao Yichen’s face and said in a low provocative voice, “I came, naturally, ready to steal someone from you. The view here is good and so are the people,” through the thinning smoke his blue-green eyes looked meaningfully at the figure approaching from not far away.
The man he’d been waiting for had arrived. Austin lightly threw out a challenge to Qiao Yichen. “It all depends on ability.”
Lin Dongyang was returning with two borrowed English materials in hand, because today’s events had really affected his desire to work hard at the moment. After going to the library, he found that he couldn’t concentrate quietly at all. So, under Wang Dan’s guidance, he selected two English study materials and left the library.
Wang Dan might have been frightened. Seeing that Lin Dongyang was going to leave, she didn’t dare to stay any longer, as if after Lin Dongyang left, there would be a flood of beasts behind her. Originally, she had asked Lin Dongynag to come to the library in order to take advantage of the opportunity to convince Lin Dongyang not to tell anyone about her secret love.
Lin Dongyang saw the bright red colour from a distance. This was the second time he saw it today. He had to say that Austin must be really idle, running to his school twice a day. Lin Dongyang hadn’t realised before that he was actually a man-hunter!
D*mn, I have all this charm and nowhere to put it~
After his eyes met Austin’s, who was looking straight at him, he knew that this man had come to find him again. So, he deliberately fell behind a few steps to let Wang Dan go first and she went back without asking any more questions.
“Honey.” Austin smiled and greeted him.
Qiao Yichen and An Qi both turned their heads together. Behind them, Lin Dongyang was walking in their direction.
An Qi was surprised. “Senior, weren’t you in the library? You’re back so soon.”
Lin Dongyang: “I only borrowed two books.”
The four best-looking people were gathered together and instantly became the most beautiful scenery on the road.
Lin Dongyang came over and smelled the cigarettes. The first sentence he said to Austin was, “The smoke smells good, give me one.”
The other three people were stunned. Austin probably didn’t expect that the little white rabbit he met would actually also smoke. An Qi and Qiao Yichen had known Lin Dongyang for a while and even they didn’t know that he smoked. It must be a little surprising to learn for the first time.
Lin Dongyang: “It’s normal for men to smoke. What’s with the look on your faces?”
Austin smiled with more interest, then put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth. He fished out the cigarette box from his suit pocket and pulled one out. Then he handed it to Lin Dongyang, who took it and looked at it repeatedly. He found some English letters on the cigarette butt. Austin twirled the lighter playfully with his fingers, and then blocked the wind with his hands very thoughtfully, wanting to light the cigarette for Lin Dongyang.
This was a man who understood flirting. He knows what you want, and will prepare carefully until you are satisfied. Then he will prescribe you the right medicine so that he can squeeze you to death.
Lin Dongyang unceremoniously leaned in, and gave his evaluation after trying. “The cigarette is good. In fact, I also think you’re very good.”
An Qi drew in a cold breath at those words and yelled in an exaggerated manner, “Senior, you should consider it carefully ah!”
Austin remained graceful. Every word in his mouth was sweet and smeared with honey, “I’m glad to get your answer.”
From handing over the cigarette and lighting it, to the conversation, the two consistently challenged Qiao Yichen’s bottom line. He already had a bit of a problem with Austin and disliked it even more… seeing Lin Dongyang say nice things to someone he hated. He couldn’t say the reason, he just didn’t like it! No reason!
Lin Dongyang wasn’t overwhelmed by a few sweet words either, not to mention he really didn’t have those kinds of feelings for Austin, so his words changed. “It’s just that we aren’t fated to be.”
However, Austin took his words and gave definitions in return. “What is fate? Fate is formed by many unexpected coincidences. When I came to China and met you, this was an unexpected encounter, this was fate.”
Lin Dongyang silently wept in his heart: How did this foreigner learn so thoroughly about China’s culture of five thousand years! He pretended to be cool for a while, but now he’s on his deathbed, what should he do? He doesn’t have any way to refute!
“You are a good person.” Lin Dongyang could only bite the bullet and pull out such a sentence, sending a good person card to Austin.
“Baobei, you can really consider me. Or perhaps you think the most suitable person is behind you?” Austin didn’t get annoyed or angry. He just looked at Qiao Yichen provocatively, as if to say: You’re still a bit inexperienced.
While enjoying the excitement of pursuit, Austin also enjoyed the pleasure brought by targeting Qiao Yichen.
Qiao Yichen hadn’t said a word since Lin Dongyang appeared. He stood to the side and watched the two ‘banter flirtatiously’! The anger at the bottom of his heart became more and more difficult to hide. However, after meeting Austin’s provocative gaze, he suddenly changed his mind. Not because he couldn’t hold back his anger, but because he didn’t want to beat around the bush with some people and the other party insisted on playing tricks. His eyes were a little sinister as he suddenly made a move that no one expected.
Qiao Yichen directly put his arm around Lin Dongyang’s waist, and forced him into his arms. He curved the corners of his mouth and jumped directly from a cold-faced king of hell to a smiling fox, announcing his right of possession! As if that wasn’t enough, he took the burning cigarette from Lin Dongyang’s petrified hands and casually took a puff, returning the favour in the same way that Austin had just done to him.
His hands were very stiff, but Qiao Yichen’s mind was strangely clear.
Lin Dongyang wasn’t the only one petrified. An Qi’s jaw almost fell to his feet. He, who was very well educated, burst out a mouthful of foul language, “F*ck!”
Austin was stunned for just a moment and then immediately calmed down. The smile on his face faded, and his tone revealed a threat. “I wonder if Chairman Qiao knows, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Qiao Yichen: “Mr. Austin, you’d better mind your own business. Your sensational gossip caused old Mr. Adron to be unable to sleep.”
Lin Dongyang, who had just returned to his senses, immediately twisted his body to get rid of the shackles, but the more he twisted the tighter Qiao Yichen’s hand wrapped around him. He couldn’t break free for a while, so he slapped Qiao Yichen’s arm and reminded him, “Hey, hey, time’s up. Let go.”
Austin looked at Lin Dongyang’s resistance. “He doesn’t seem to like your hug.”
Lin Dongyang’s body stiffened again and he stopped twisting. He decided to unite with Qiao Yichen, planning to eliminate foreign aggression first, before resolving their internal problems. “I just occasionally quarrel with him. Do you know the Chinese saying: ‘Beating is a sign of affection, cursing is a sign of love.’?”
Anyway, it’s not like you’re going to lose a limb by pretending to be a couple. It doesn’t hurt or itch.
Austin be like: DAMMIT after all this effort I just became a tool for them to get closer???
Somebody had to do it. 😂
