Lin Dongyang was pissed off. He felt that after knowing Qiao Yichen for so long, he actually felt tired of even being friends.
After dropping these words, Lin Dongyang walked over towards Qiao Yichen. He bumped into Qiao Yichen’s shoulder as if deliberately venting his last dissatisfaction.
Lin Dongyang went to leave without looking back even once. Qiao Yichen felt a bit of pain as he dazedly turned around to look at Lin Dongyang leaving. His heart flooded with sadness for no reason, as if the light and warmth in the corridor was gradually dissipating. He was anxious to grab something, so he reached out and grabbed Lin Dongyang’s wrist. He tried to stop the other party from leaving, but all he got was the other party slapping his hand away.
“Don’t touch me!” Lin Dongyang’s expression was ugly and his tone was full of hostility.
Seeing the angry Lin Dongyang, Qiao Yichen regretted saying the words ‘It’s none of your business’. He wandered aimlessly outside, only returning after evening fell. As a result, he returned to find someone sitting on the ground waiting for him by his door. At that moment, he couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. It seemed like a warm light had suddenly appeared in the cold night, dispersing the cold and darkness around him.
However, he was in such a bad mood and was a total mess at that time. He just wanted to go back to his own clean little place, but Lin Dongyang had blocked the corridor and yelled at him, scaring the strange budding warmth away. In a moment of irritation, he had directed his emotions towards the other party.
But Lin Dongyang’s words had made him flustered, return the money to him without missing a single penny? Qiao Yichen knew that Lin Dongyang couldn’t do that, at least not in a year. No one was willing to live under the pressure of a foreign debt, yet he had spoken loudly and without hesitation.
This was the only bond between the two of them. Without that barely-held bond, it might become impossible to get the other party to care at all. And now, the bond was about to be erased right in front of him.
“Don’t go…” Qiao Yichen stood blankly in the same place. His rejected hand clenched into a fist, as he struggled between his mind and heart.
“Why shouldn’t I go? You gave me the cold shoulder ah. Since you’re unable to tell good from bad intentions, why should I bother with your business?”
“I’m sorry, I was in a bad mood just now.” Qiao Yichen revealed weakness, and he tried to maintain that vulnerability.
“Why are you snapping at me when you’re in a bad mood? I must be really f*cking idle, I even skipped class in the afternoon to search for you.”
Lin Dongyang’s heart was on fire and when he said this he couldn’t help but move his hands in anger. He pushed Qiao Yichen, who was standing in front of him and bowing his head sadly. Who knew that this would lead to a series of accidents.
Qiao Yichen was suddenly met with force and he stepped back unsteadily until he hit the wall. His vision instantly darkened. He leaned straight against the wall and slowly slid into a crouch on the ground, closing his eyes for a long time to relieve the dizziness.
Lin Dongyang’s hand froze and his face was full of black question marks. What’s going on? Did he touch porcelain? I didn’t use much force and you fell down. Are you Lin-meimei? You’re so weak.

“Are you dead or not?! If not, hurry up and get up,” Lin Dongyang dawdled up to the crouching Qiao Yichen and kicked his leg with his foot, but there was no response.
“F*ck, you’re not really dead, are you?!” He hurriedly crouched down and used his hand to hold Qiao Yichen’s chin and lift his face. He saw that there was still some redness and swelling on his face, and his two deep eyes were wide open. At this moment, Qiao Yichen was staring straight at him, with no sign of having fainted!
Lin Dongyang was angry! This man fooled him! Why is this man so annoying?! He snorted and, getting ready to stand up, let go of Qiao Yichen’s chin.
Qiao Yichen quickly stretched out both of his hands to press down on Lin Dongyang’s shoulders when he tried to get up and leave again. The force he used was a little hasty and violent, so it wasn’t long before another wave of dizziness hit him. The darkness vaguely blurred his sight. He closed his eyes and leaned his head against Lin Dongyang’s shoulder to relieve his discomfort.
He was happy, but Lin Dongyang was unhappy. His anger had never subsided, seeing that Qiao Yichen had actually used the trick of injuring himself to deceive his compassion. After falling for the trick once he was determined not to fall for it twice in the same place. Even though Qiao Yichen was pretending to be weak, he didn’t believe it. So, when Qiao Yichen put his forehead against his shoulder, he pushed him away again.
Qiao Yichen’s head really hurt this time. The back of his head collided against the white wall with a ‘thud’. This time it didn’t look like a performance. He touched the back of his head and looked sadly at the ruthless Lin Dongyang. Unexpectedly, his eyes were becoming watery! It seemed that he was in pain. He had an aggrieved expression, but he still didn’t say anything.
Lin Dongyang: “……” He wasn’t deaf. Naturally, he heard the thud. Seeing Qiao Yichen’s aggrieved expression, he felt as if he had been really heavy-handed.
Qiao Yichen rubbed the back of his head. “Stop pushing. I’m really about to faint.”
Lin Dongyang: “Are you that weak? You’ll just faint after I push you a few times.”
“I haven’t eaten all day.” Qiao Yichen explained weakly.
He had only returned to Rongjing Bay after school last night. When Auntie Chen asked him, he didn’t want to bother her nor did he want to eat at home, so he had just casually said he wasn’t hungry. And then he hadn’t been in the mood to eat since that unhappy evening and instead he had just smoked all night. The next day, he sent Austin to the airport early in the morning and completely lost his appetite.
Lin Dongyang said indifferently, “It’s none of my business whether you eat or not.”
Qiao Yichen tentatively requested, “Don’t go… okay?”
Like a wounded lone wolf, flattening his ears. He put away his previous pretentious arrogance for fear that Lin Dongyang would suddenly push him again. He couldn’t be sure he wouldn’t pass out. He hadn’t eaten since last night and he was already exhausted. He really wanted someone to accompany him. Even if that person didn’t say a word, and just watched him.
Qiao Yichen handed the apartment key to Lin Dongyang. After seeing Qiao Yichen still crouching by the wall like he had no bones, he hesitated for a moment before he took the key to open the door for him.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a strong smell of cigarette smoke greeted him. Even Lin Dongyang, who could smoke, was choked by it and coughed several times.
“This smell is really strong! …” Lin Dongyang couldn’t bear it and went into the apartment to open all the windows that could be opened for ventilation.
Qiao Yichen stood up and his legs felt weak. He walked in and went straight to the sofa, laying down like a dead pig, not moving.
“I’m hungry…” Qiao Yichen said weakly.
After opening all the windows, Lin Dongyang went to the bathroom to wash his hands. “Order takeout yourself, I’m leaving.”
Qiao Yichen got up from the sofa and blocked the front door directly. His 1.85 meter height blocked the door completely.
“Stay with me for a while,” When he saw Lin Dongyang going to leave again, Qiao Yichen spoke without thinking, his words urging him to stay.
“That’s not my duty! Step aside!”
Qiao Yichen didn’t want to, he really didn’t. He was alone here. He was used to being alone, but that didn’t mean he liked being alone.
Qiao Yichen: “Then go after eating dinner” Other than saying ‘don’t go’, he didn’t know what else to say to make Lin Dongyang change his mind. He could only say the most mediocre words. If he can’t make him stay, then he can’t. He couldn’t force him.
Lin Dongyang: “I’ll go out and buy it myself.”
“I’ll make it for you.” After saying that, Qiao Yichen himself was stunned. It seemed that what he had said just now did not come from him. After thinking carefully for a while, he was surprised to realise that these words really came out of his mouth.
“???” Lin Dongyang’s face was filled with doubt, horror, and disbelief. Is this Qiao Yichen?! Why does he look so creepy? The person who never bowed down is bowing his head! Lin Dongyang began to nervously mumble.
Qiao Yichen’s face unnaturally cracked a bit and he explained. “After the kitchen was organized, I haven’t tried it yet.”
Lin Dongyang looked up and down. Speaking of the kitchen, he walked over and looked at it again. He nodded his head and secretly thought to himself: it’s really well prepared. At first, it was only set up after this b*stard threatened to make him cook, but now he wants to cook by himself?
“Do you know how to cook?” Lin Dongyang issued a soul torturing question. Qiao Yichen blushed and said stiffly, “I know how to cook noodles…” he paused and added an uncertain, “right?”
In fact, he didn’t. At school, he ate at the canteen, and at home Auntie Chen would cook for him. The children of the Qiao family lived a pampered life. Although their family relations might not be so good, their quality of life had never been lacking.
“How long have the noodles been there?” The reason why Lin Dongyang asked this question was because before, Qiao Yichen’s kitchen was cleaner than his face. The refrigerator was empty, there wasn’t even an eggshell. Is it possible for him to have prepared food along with the pots and pans?
Sure enough, Qiao Yichen’s words verified his suspicions, “I bought it at the supermarket two days ago. So, the noodles can still be cooked.”
Lin Dongyang: “…” Indeed. If you buy food, you must not let it rot in the refrigerator.
Only once in a hundred years would he be able to see Qiao Yichen trying to please him, it was a rare occasion. Lin Dongyang’s anger had also dissipated a lot. However, his face was still not very friendly. Since Qiao Yichen had volunteered, he will reluctantly taste it and let out a snort of derision.
After all, cooking was something that required experience. It was something he couldn’t even do himself. So, he was curious about what dark dishes Qiao Yichen could make.
Lin Dongyang himself was also hungry, to the point that he felt like his chest was sticking to his back. He hadn’t eaten or even drank a drop of water since noon. He wasn’t sure if there was a small restaurant nearby that he could fill up on. And by the time he went back to school and ate, his stomach would probably be in knots.
‘One can’t function properly on an empty stomach.’ Now, not only was his stomach rumbling, even his throat was dry, but he could still quarrel with Qiao Yichen…
Qiao Yichen, a big man, began to squirm and dawdled into the kitchen. “Then wait for a while,” he repeated, “Don’t go.”
From inside the kitchen, the ‘ping ping pang pang’ sound of the kitchen utensils could be heard, sounding like a nuclear weapon being developed!! Lin Dongyang looked over curiously and saw only Qiao Yichen’s figure walking back and forth.
He was really busy in the kitchen! It’s incredibly strange! Lin Dongyang wandered around the living room and resisted the urge to go into the kitchen to find out what was going on. But his gaze drifted over every now and then, sneaking a glance and then retreating.
Why do you care about him? He snapped at you, but then he put down his face in order to please you, is this the legendary shaking M body?! Lin Dongyang was amazed, his understanding of Qiao Yichen was refreshed to a whole new level!
Sure enough, you can’t get used to any relationship! Or else you’ll be taken advantage of!
