When Kan Qing opened the door and entered, he heard a “bang” in the darkroom.
Kan Qing stopped abruptly and raised his head alertly, “Who is it?”
There was no response in the room for a while, followed by another “bang”.
Kan Qing felt for a golf club by the door, turned on the light with a click, and held it in front of him. He took a step before he could see who was in the room.
“… fck, I thought it was a burglar.”
Kan Qing put down his golf club and let out a sigh of relief. He patted his belly and walked into the room, just as he was about to sit down on the sofa, a tennis ball flew past his ears.
“Bang.”
The familiar thud hit the wall, and the ball bounced on the floor, and the young man who was sitting lazily with his long legs stretched out on the couch reached out and took the ball back.
Then he threw it again.
Kan Qing stood still and it took a few seconds to recover, and took a deep breath, “Little Brother Xie, who provoked you, why are you venting on the wall with the tennis ball?”
“…”
The young man lying on the sofa lazily lifted his eyelids and then leaned back.
He held his arm still, flicked his wrist and the ball flew again, tracing a beautiful arc in the air. Finally, it returned to his hand firmly.
“Hey, don’t you think you’re pretty good with that ball?”
Kan Qing looked at it for a moment, walked over happily, then picked one up and threw it against the wall.
“Bang!” “Crack!” “Wow!”
A disaster.
Xie Li, “….”
Kan Qing, “….”
Getting Xie Li’s gaze, Kan Qing awkwardly touched his handful of fledgling beard, “Ahem, what, I’m getting older, I can’t match the steady hands of you, youngsters…”
Xie Li licked his lips lazily and laughed sarcastically and superficially.
Kan Qing lost his old face for three seconds and then forgot, greasy old men all have that “benefit”. He watched the ball fly back and forth and thought better of it before heading for the marble bar behind the sofa. He sat down on a round stool he had brought with him.
The round stool let out a metallic cry, protesting Uncle Kan’s weight.
Kan Qing didn’t hear it and took out a bottle of beer from the small refrigerator beside the bar. After opening it, he took a sip and cleared his mouth before asking, “I heard a bunch of punks came to the cyber cafe tonight, or are they looking for you?”
The ball that was about to be thrown stopped in his palm. Xie Li raised his eyes and frowned, “Did they make a fuss when they came?”
His voice was muffled and deep, his tone suppressed by anger; it was as if the ball was going to fly off the wall and kill someone if Kan Qing answered “yes.”
Kan Qing smiled happily, “No, no, how would they dare? Since you came to the cybercafe, the streets around here are so quiet that they almost seem to be closed at night.”
“….”
Naturally, this was a joke and an exaggeration. Xie Li was used to this middle-aged guy’s joking personality and turned around. The tennis ball flew out of his palm again.

“I told you last time.”
The can of beer Kan Qing popped into his mouth paused, “Huh?”
“The one I like, the friend.”
“….”
Kan Qing wiped his face and turned back to the bar.
The air was silent for a few seconds, except for the sound of the ball hitting the wall and then bouncing on the floor.
As a result, Kan Qing couldn’t take it anymore.
He let out a “hey” and turned his head back. The chair almost threw him with a scream from the force of the movement.
Kan Qing didn’t pay much attention, and grabbed the side of the bar and said, “Can’t you look at all the flowers and beautiful plants under the sky? If you say you want to have a bride tomorrow, you’ll have a line from the back of the shop to the entrance of your high school, but do you have to hang on that tree?”
“….”
“I’ve been ranting for a long time, give me a reaction.”
The tennis ball landed in the palm, and this time it was not thrown again.
Xie Li let it roll in his palm and set it aside, as he sat upright, “Hmm.”
“…”
After waiting for a long time, Kan Qing almost got angry, “What are you saying?”
“What did you ask in the last sentence?”
“Huh? The last sentence? Oh, I asked you if you had to hang from that tree.”
Xie Li raised his eyes to look at him this time, lazily, “I said, hmm.”
Kan Qing, “….”
Kan Qing gave him a thumbs up, “You are ruthless.”
When the embarrassment passed, Kan Qing couldn’t help but turn around again, “Then what’s the situation with your tree? It shouldn’t be older than you, right? Why does it have debts and you messed with the debt collectors?”
Xie Li thought for a moment, “His father is an alcoholic and is in debt to others.”
“What about his mother?”
“I don’t know.”
“….” Kan Qing turned his head and scratched, “You deserve to be single.”
Xie Li sighed softly and leaned back on the sofa.
After resting his arm and staring at the ceiling for a while, he suddenly asked, “How to make money fast?”
Kan Qing became alert, “Why?! You don’t want to jump ship, do you? You already make enough money working for me, there’s no other around here that pays more than me!”
Xie Li, “I didn’t tell you that I would leave here.”
“Oh, that’s good. But you’re not short of money either, the gifts the little girls gave you are enough for me to buy a few more shelves for the counter.”
“In the trash.”
“…. don’t all straight guys have this kind of virtue? Ruining a girl’s gift like that!”
“Tsk.”
“Last time when I said I’d send you those gifts home, did you give me a real address?”
“Hmm.”
“…” Kan Qing looked up and down at Xie Li, “Are you still asking me how to earn money?”
Xie Li looked at him, “What is the connection between these two subjects?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. The area where you live, is the most expensive place in Q City, and the community where you live is the most expensive in that district; a brick thrown from above would knock ten people below. Of which nine and a half would be from the financial circle. Now, can you afford to live there and be short of money?”
“….”
The emotions in Xie Li’s eyes fluctuated, then he smiled indifferently, “The coming-of-age gift my uncle gave me can no longer be sold.”
“Heh” Kan Qing scoffed, “I said that when you came to apply for the job, I smelled something different from normal citizens.”
“…what smell?”
“The smell of a young master who doesn’t know about the world and still goes out to play at being a common citizen.”
“Get the hell out of here.” Scolded Xie Li with a smile and threw a tennis ball.
Kan Qing tried his best to check the term `fat agile´ and dodged it lightly. Then he became a little serious.
“Then why do you need to earn quick money?” Kan Qing’s voice stopped abruptly, and a few seconds later with round eyes, “You’re not thinking of repaying that little fellow of yours, that child, his family’s debt, are you?”
Xie Li narrowed his eyes slightly and lazily replied after a long while, “Yes.”
“Little Brother Xie, are you crazy?”
Kan Qing jumped off the round stool, it was hard for him to make the “jumping” movement with that figure, and walked to the sofa.
“If you were in a relationship and give the money to your boyfriend, I wouldn’t have said anything, but you haven’t even started yet, and I heard you say he’s a normal, handsome, brilliant, and popular guy, why would he want to fall in love with you?”
Kan Qing finished with a sigh, his face turning red, and after a slow breath, he continued, “Since he’s not in love with you, and you two have been in the same class for only a week, with all due respect, it’s a question of whether he considers you a friend or not. So what kind of debt are you paying for him?”
After Kan Qing finished speaking, the room was silent for a long time. He was a little moved, thinking that his remarks seemed to have finally played a role in educating the younger generation as he should, but it didn’t even last ten seconds before Kan Qing heard Xie Li laugh lazily.
“You are more annoying than my grandmother. Next time I’ll arrange a meeting for you two, both of you must have more things in common.”
“….” Kan Qing was so angry he almost died, “You didn’t even listen to a word I just said, did you?”
“No.”
Xie Li sat for a while longer and got up from the sofa, picked up the coat from the backrest, and put it over his shoulder.
With a bow, he lifted the card from the corner of the table.
The card had a scribble on it.
Xie Li scanned it, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his coat pocket, “I didn’t tell you before, he has a unique feature.”
Kan Qing looked at it with narrowed eyes, “Which one?”
“He doesn’t like to owe favors.”
“So?”
“So.” Xie Li suddenly smiled, and when he turned his head back, his eyes were so dark that they couldn’t be penetrated by even a bit of light when he stopped under the lamp. “If I pay this debt for him and say I want to fck him, he won’t even refuse.”
“….”
Kan Qing’s expression was fixed, frozen.
Xie Li lazily walked out.
When Xie Li was almost at the door, Kan Qing finally came back to his senses, with disbelief still written on his face, “Y-you, are you planning to do that?”
Xie Li stopped in front of the door. He did not look back and did not show his expression, “…. just kidding, did you believe it?”
“Phew” Kan Qing sighed in relief, “I was scared to death. Let me tell you if you do this, what’s the difference between you and a pervert?”
“….”
Xie Li stood still for a few seconds. Then he laughed lightly, opened the door, and walked out without looking back.
His slender, erect back disappeared into the night.
Xie Li glanced down the stairs to the cybercafe on the second floor.
The tennis ball in his hand was slightly deformed by him.
… Kan Qing is right, he really wouldn’t do that.
But not for reasons of conscience or morals, but because he knew that if he did that, he and Yu Rui would be completely impossible.
Therefore, no matter how hard it is, no matter how urgent it is, he will not be stupid.
Because once is not enough, much less for him. He wanted to swallow that man’s skin and bones.
A pervert?
He has been one for a long time already.
