The next day, Yingying took the group back to China, which was a flight at 10am in the morning.
Originally, Yuan Xi got up early at this time, but today, because he didn’t need to follow with Yingying’s group, there was no need to get up early. He didn’t set the alarm clock. He wanted to wake up naturally, but ended up sleeping until now.
Having a sweet dream in bed, the mobile phone suddenly popped up a WeChat message: “I’m leaving, you continue to have a good time in Bali, and leave a message on WeChat if you need any help~” he was woken up by the dingdong sound of the WeChat. As soon as he saw the time, it was actually 10am. Yuan Xi immediately sat up with the carp out of bed and quickly typed back: “Bon voyage! I’ll contact you when I get back to China!”
It was not too late to sleep until 10am on holiday, but what made Yuan Xi depressed was that the hotel’s breakfast buffet ended on time at 10am.
A few days ago, he got up for breakfast at 7:30am every day because he wanted to follow Yingying’s group. The buffet breakfast in this hotel was very rich, not to mention the milk was very fresh, there were dozens of pastries alone, he ate for several days to taste them one by one.
Eating different tastes of pastry every morning was the beginning of a good mood for him all day.
He wanted to have breakfast in the hotel today, but he overslept.
His stomach was empty, and he could only go out to find food if he missed the hotel’s breakfast.
Yuan Xi quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes to go out. At this moment, a doorbell suddenly came outside the door. He opened the door with doubts, but accidentally saw Qiu Zongping standing at the door with a plate, smiled slightly and said. “Get up? Have breakfast.”
Yuan Xi: “????”
Qiu Zongping walked into the room while he was in a daze, put the plate on the round dining table, and said in a low voice, “I asked the waiter when I had breakfast just now. The guest in room 407 didn’t register. I think you overslept, so I helped you register your room number and packed it for you.”
Yuan Xi just came to his senses.
He didn’t understand Qiu Zongping’s thoughts. He felt that he had made his words clear enough. Why didn’t Qiu Zongping let him go?
Under the annoyance, Yuan Xi didn’t even close the door, walked into the room and stood in front of Qiu Zongping, a little angry. “Didn’t I say that I don’t want to see you?”
Qiu Zongping put the plate on the table and looked back at him with a complicated gaze.
After a moment, he whispered, “I want to see you.”
“En?” Yuan Xi was stunned.
Qiu Zongping sighed, his eyes became gentle while he watched Yuan Xi. “Don’t be angry, eat something first, and we will talk about it.”
Yuan Xi frowned. “You can take the breakfast and I’ll eat out.”
He glanced at the open door, then looked at Qiu Zongping and added. “I have made it very clear. There is nothing to talk about.”
The atmosphere was a little stiff. Qiu Zongping was silent for a while before he replied. “What if I find that I like you?”
Yuan Xi looked back at him in disbelief. “What are you talking about?”
“I like you. I want to be with you. Please give me another chance.” Qiu Zongping repeated in a low voice.
Yuan Xi: “……”
He widened his eyes and reacted to what Qiu Zongping said, and he exploded. “Qiu Zongping! Do you think I am an idiot? To believe your words!”
This person had never liked him, always telling him with all kinds of actions and words: I only regard you as a friend.
As a result, today suddenly came out to say that ‘I like you’?
Yuan Xi didn’t believe it at all.
In doing so, Qiu Zongping was like teasing a kitten. When the kitten liked him and wanted to stick to him, he looked disgusted and wanted to drive the other party away. When the kitten was sad and wanted to leave him, he looked back and coaxed gently, even saying: I actually like you.
—— What a fart!
—— If you really like me, will you watch me make a fool of myself in front of everyone?
—— Come if you invite, go if you wave. Who do you think this Yuan Xi is? Do I have to be around you all day?
Yuan Xi’s eyes quickly became bloodshot. He took a deep breath and resisted the impulse to beat people. He stared at Qiu Zongping and whispered. “You go, I will pretend that you didn’t say anything.”
Qiu Zongping was stunned and explained. “Yuan Xi, what I said is true…”
Yuan Xi pointed to the door. “Get out! Don’t make me say it again!”
He didn’t want to say this word. After all, the person in front of him was his captain, who he once respected and liked very much.
But Qiu Zongping at this moment really made him not want to face him again.
Facing Yuan Xi’s bloodshot eyes like a wounded beast, Qiu Zongping’s heart stabbed. He knew that he now said ‘I like you’, there was really no credibility, and this kind of confession seemed too hasty. He couldn’t just watch Yuan Xi like others, so he wanted to state clearly as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, he seemed to make things worse, Yuan Xi didn’t believe it at all, thinking he was playing tricks on him.
“I’m sorry.” Qiu Zongping whispered.
Yuan Xi said nothing and stood there stiffly, making a gesture to ask him to go out.
Qiu Zongping sighed. When he came to the door, he suddenly looked back. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it now. But one day, you will believe it.”
His voice was very serious, and finally added. “I really like you.”
Yuan Xi: “……”
Until Qiu Zongping left, Yuan Xi’s mind was still a mess.
Not long after waking up, he was actually a little unconscious. When the room quieted down, his mind began to replay every sentence Qiu Zongping had just said.
I like you? Are you kidding me?
In the plate on the table, the milk was still steaming, and four pastries with different flavors were neatly placed next to them—— matcha, strawberry, cream and chocolate. These four flavors were his favorites. He often bought it when he was in the team. Qiu Zongping had lived with him for so many years, and he knew his habits and tastes very well.
Yuan Xi’s mood was complicated at the moment.
After calming down, he also thought this matter was a bit strange.
Qiu Zongping wasn’t a person who liked to make a joke and never lied, but he really couldn’t believe what Qiu Zongping said just now.
Probably, it was just a temporary illusion?
People were prone to delusions when their minds were not clear. He and Qiu Zongping had been having a cold war in recent days, and their relationship was very stiff. Under such circumstances, Qiu Zongping might think of the benefits of Yuan Xi and mistakenly think that he liked him. But after two days, as long as Qiu Zongping calmed down, he would know that this was not like at all, but a dependence or favor on his teammates.
It’s just like a friend who often plays with you suddenly finds a boyfriend / girlfriend and starts to neglect you. You will also feel lost.
But it had nothing to do with liking.
Qiu Zongping probably also felt the same? He had been with Yingying recently, and he hadn’t talked to him for several days, so he was uncomfortable. But Yuan Xi couldn’t easily believe what he said, let alone accept him. If he thought clearly then, ‘I’m sorry again. I made a mistake’… How could Yuan Xi endure it?
After finally deciding to let it go, don’t mess around with this matter.
Yuan Xi finally ate the breakfast brought by Qiu Zongping. He didn’t have to fight against the food. It was not good to waste such delicious pastries.

It was just that messages popped up every once in a while——
Qiu Zongping: “Where are you?”
Qiu Zongping: “It’s raining outside. Be careful of catching a cold.”
Qiu Zongping: “Have you eaten? When will you return to the hotel?”
Yuan Xi resisted the impulse to block him and frowned and typed quickly: “Don’t send me WeChat again. I really don’t want to reply to you. This is the last one.”
The other side quickly replied: “I just worry about you, pay attention to safety.”
After this WeChat message, Qiu Zongping didn’t send any more messages, and Yuan Xi was finally relieved.
Looking up, it really started raining outside. Yuan Xi didn’t even bring an umbrella, so he strolled around the mall leisurely.
After shopping for a whole afternoon, he bought a lot of souvenirs. Seeing that it was almost 6pm, he found a place to eat a quick snack and wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel.
Because it just rained, there were no taxis in the street. If he was in China, he could call DiDi. If he couldn’t call them he could still take buses and subways. However, the traffic in Bali was very bad and the roads were narrow. There were no subways and buses, and there were very few taxis. Most local residents were riding scooters around.
Yuan Xi waited for a long time at the intersection, only to see a taxi with people still sitting in it, and gradually became a little anxious in his heart.
It was getting dark, and it was a problem how he could get back if he couldn’t get a taxi.
In the morning, he asked the front desk to book the taxi at the hotel. The mall was far away from the hotel. It was impossible for him to walk back. Moreover, he was not familiar with the road here, and he couldn’t tell the difference between the east, the south and the west.
Why didn’t he try his luck at another intersection? Maybe it was the rush hour after dinner, and he would have it in a minute.
Yuan Xi went to another entrance of the mall to take a taxi. The rain hadn’t stopped. He wore little clothes today. He waited for an empty car for about half an hour. In the end, all the taxis had passengers with the signs taken. He was shivering with cold. His mind was a little numb, but he was very anxious but at a loss. It was only at this time that he was deeply aware of the benefits of staying in China, the transportation was convenient, and all kinds of taxi-hailing software were available on call. When he left the country, he was like a headless fly. If he didn’t go with groups, if he didn’t arrange the taxi in advance, he would be completely blind, and he couldn’t even go back to the hotel.
Yuan Xi regretted his recklessness, probably because Qiu Zongping made his head hurt in the morning, and he was not particularly awake when he went out. He called for a taxi to come over, but forgot to make an appointment with the driver to go back. He couldn’t get a taxi now, so he had to worry.
Standing on the street in a foreign country, watching the strange crowd coming and going, Yuan Xi suddenly felt helpless.
Just then the mobile phone rang again, and it was a message from Qiu Zongping: “Why haven’t you returned to the hotel yet?”
He hated to see Qiu Zongping’s WeChat, but now it seemed to add fuel to the fire for Yuan Xi. He frowned and replied impatiently: “Does captain also want to manage when I go back to the hotel?”
Qiu Zongping: “I’m just worried about you. It’s raining today and there’s a serious traffic jam outside. You’d better come back as soon as possible.”
Yuan Xi did not reply again. If Qiu Zongping were to know that he ran out recklessly but couldn’t go back, he would definitely laugh at him as an idiot.
Time gradually arrived at 8pm, but he still couldn’t get a taxi.
Yuan Xi was a little anxious and had to brazenly ask for help from Yingying: “Yingying, I can’t get a taxi at the gate of the mall. Can you make an appointment with a driver you know?”
As a result, the messages got no response. After waiting for a while, he suddenly remembered that Yingying should be on the plane now—— She said before that the return flight was a special ticket booked by a travel agency and needed a connecting flight in Singapore. She would leave in the morning and arrive in China tomorrow.
Yuan Xi wanted to call the hotel, but found that he didn’t save the number of the hotel front desk. Called his brother? He didn’t have this face, and his brother would certainly laugh at him…
Cough, he also blamed himself for not being careful enough to make good arrangements when he went out.
Yuan Xi returned to the mall dejectedly, found a place to sit down, and when he was bored, he turned on his mobile phone and read the novel.
Maybe when the mall was about to close soon, there were not so many people, so it would be easier to get a taxi?
He could only comfort himself like this.
The more Qiu Zongping thought about it in the hotel, the more he felt wrong.
Many foreign young people who came to Bali like to find a bar after dark to listen to songs while drinking at the same time, and some even spend the whole night in the bar. However, Yuan Xi’s courage wasn’t so great. When he was in China, he seldom went out alone at night. Besides, he was now in a foreign country and a stranger. He didn’t like to go clubbing, so he wouldn’t come back so late.
A few days ago, he left early and returned late because he came back late after visiting the scenic spots with the group led by Yingying.
But today, Yingying had obviously returned to China. It was impossible for her to go out alone and not come back so late.
Was something wrong?
Just as Qiu Zongping was about to send a message to Yuan Xi, a message from Qiu Zongyue popped up in WeChat: “The Chinese Consulate in Bali, Indonesia issued an announcement today: Bali’s Mt. Agung volcano is currently in a highly active state and may erupt at any time. The local government warning level of the volcano has been upgraded to level 5. Chinese citizens please be cautious when traveling to Bali. If there are citizens in Bali, please pay attention to personal safety and do not go near the volcano…”
Qiu Zongping was stunned and immediately asked: “Sister, what’s the matter?”
Qiu Zongyue: “My classmate sent it to me and asked me if I was all right. Just checked on the Internet, Mt. Agung volcano has erupted several times in recent years, but the location of this volcano is very remote, dozens of kilometers away from where we live, there should be no need to worry too much.”
Although his sister was right, Qiu Zongping couldn’t help worrying. They naturally wouldn’t run around, but wasn’t the case for Yuan Xi.
It was already so late, and Yuan Xi didn’t come back. What really happened to Yuan Xi?
Thinking of this, Qiu Zongping immediately got up, picked up a coat, turned and went downstairs, and went to the front desk of the hotel to ask Yuan Xi’s whereabouts.
In the morning, Qiu Zongping saw Yuan Xi booking a taxi at the front desk. It was just that the two of them had a little dispute, and Qiu Zongping couldn’t ask him where he was going.
But now that Yuan Xi hadn’t come back, Qiu Zongping was in a state of confusion for fear that something might happen to him abroad. He explained to the front desk that his friend might have been lost and asked the front desk to help him find the driver who took him out in the morning. Fortunately, the front desk of the hotel was very cooperative. The driver was soon found and told Qiu Zongping where Yuan Xi was going.
Without hesitation, Qiu Zongping directly asked the driver to send him to find someone.
Looking at Qiu Zongping’s anxious look, the driver was also worried about what had happened to his friend and was driving very fast.
Qiu Zongping kept looking down at his watch along the way, sent several messages in a row, and called Yuan Xi several times. It was a pity that there was no reply to the message sent, and the call was unanswered. Qiu Zongping was almost crazy. He wished to grow a pair of wings and flew to Yuan Xi’s side instantly.
—— He was very worried about Yuan Xi.
Although he knew that Yuan Xi was an adult, he would not go to see some volcanoes in his spare time. If he just went to the mall, the probability of an accident would not be high.
But he just couldn’t help worrying.
This kind of worry was like dense bugs gnawing at his heart, and he had to take a deep breath to keep calm.
It was only then that he found that, in fact, Yuan Xi had already occupied a very heavy weight in his heart.
It was just that he used to focus all his energy on the game and didn’t notice it at all.
The traffic in Bali was very bad. There were severe traffic jams at night. As the taxi entered the congested road again, Qiu Zongping’s brow became tighter. He took out his mobile phone and sent Yuan Xi a WeChat message again: “Where are you? Reply to my message!”
Still no reply.
Qiu Zongping gently closed his eyes and typed with trembling fingers: “I’m sorry. I’ll admit my mistake to you. Don’t be angry with me. Just give me a reply, okay? Even one word reply, tell me you’re okay right now.”
He stared intently at the mobile phone screen for a long time, but there was still no reply from the other party.
If something really happened to Yuan Xi, he didn’t dare to think about what he would do.
That deep sense of powerlessness plunged him into a state of extreme anxiety. The usually calm Qiu Zongping didn’t know where to go. Now he just wanted to do everything he could to find Yuan Xi—— as long as Yuan Xi was okay, he was willing to pay any price.
After an hour and a half, the taxi finally arrived at the mall.
The driver parked his car in a nearby parking lot and told Qiu Zongping that he would wait for him in the parking lot.
Qiu Zongping nodded and ran to the shopping mall as the driver said.
This was a big shopping mall. Yuan Xi probably came here to buy souvenirs to bring home to his relatives and friends. Qiu Zongping didn’t know if he was still in the mall or not.
Qiu Zongping looked around, holding a glimmer of hope, and started a comprehensive search for this mall.
It was 9:30pm, and there were still a lot of people in the shopping mall. Qiu Zongping quickly shuttles through the crowd, looking for Yuan Xi everywhere. He searched the third floor from the first floor, but he still didn’t find him. Then he was unwilling and searched again all the way down from the third floor.
Time passed slowly, and the more Qiu Zongping looked, the more anxious he was…
If Yuan Xi wasn’t in the mall, where would he go? Did something really happen to him?
Passing tourists, seeing this young man anxiously looking for something back and forth in the mall, were all a little strange. Some people were still whispering. “Is his family lost?”
“Seeing that he is so anxious, he must be a very important person to him…”
“Hey, it is really troublesome to get lost abroad. I don’t know if it can be reported to the police…”
Qiu Zongping didn’t listen to these noisy arguments at all. Now he had only one thought in his mind: find Yuan Xi.
Just as he searched the mall twice and was about to go out to look for it in the nearby street, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the rest seat in the corner of the first floor.
The figure looked a little thin, with his head hanging down, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and he didn’t know what he was looking at. He looked very serious.
Qiu Zongping stopped suddenly, walked quickly towards him and whispered. “Yuan Xi?”
There was a noticeable hoarseness in the voice, with a slightly trembling voice in the end, as if he was about to cry.
Yuan Xi raised his head in surprise, and unexpectedly, bumped into a pair of slightly red eyes.
In the next moment, Qiu Zongping held him tightly in his arms.
The embrace was so tight that Yuan Xi was almost out of breath, and the voice heard in his ear was still trembling slightly. “Do you know how much I worry about you…”
Yuan Xi was held by him in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
The novel he read half on the mobile phone was exciting, but Qiu Zongping suddenly appeared and hugged him so hard that Yuan Xi’s brain couldn’t react for a while.
——Yuan Xi’s body was warm in his arms, and there was a light shampoo fragrance in his hair. He was okay, and he wasn’t hurt.
Qiu Zongping finally let go of his hanging heart. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “It’s good if you’re okay…”
Yuan Xi finally recovered at this time. Qiu Zongping was cold all over, as if he was running from the rain. His clothes were all wet, and the water on his hair ran down the hairline and slid into Yuan Xi’s neck. Yuan Xi was trembling from the cold, and hurriedly reached out to push him. “You let me go…”
Qiu Zongping realised that he was so excited that he hugged Yuan Xi hard, immediately released his hand and said, “I’m sorry.”
“Why are you here?” Yuan Xi frowned.
Qiu Zongping looked at him and whispered. “It’s already so late and you haven’t come back. I was worried about you, so I came out to find you.”
“Then how do you know where I am?” Yuan Xi was puzzled.
“I asked the front desk of the hotel and found the driver who sent you out this morning.” Qiu Zongping replied.
He paused, and then added. “I’m worried that something will happen to you, so I ask the driver to send me over—— I want to pick you up.”
So, it was like this.
Yuan Xi’s feelings were extremely mixed at this moment. He didn’t want to see Qiu Zongping, but he was really shocked by Qiu Zongping’s anxious and concerned eyes—— because he had never thought that Qiu Zongping would care so much about him.
Originally, he planned to go out to take a taxi after the mall closed. If it was really impossible, he would call his brother for help.
As a result, Qiu Zongping actually came in person.
He said. “I want to pick you up.”
A simple sentence made Yuan Xi’s heart feel sour.
They just quarreled in the morning, and Yuan Xi ignored his message all day today. In the afternoon, he even replied rudely: ‘Don’t send any more messages.’
As a result, when he needed help the most, he appeared in front of him regardless of previous hatred.
With the coldness of being drenched in the rain, but the gaze that looked at him was… extremely gentle.
He didn’t laugh at him, and didn’t say anything superfluous, just saying—— it’s good that you’re okay, I want to pick you up.
Yuan Xi’s chest was stuffy and a little uncomfortable, and he lowered his head and replied. “Thank you for coming to pick me up.”
Qiu Zongping smiled, took the initiative to help Yuan Xi carry the shopping bag and said, “Let’s go.”
On the way back, neither of them spoke much.
Instead, the driver smiled and said, “You don’t know how worried he was about you just now. He thought something had happened to you and kept urging me to drive quickly.”
Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and laughing. “Cough, I just sat in the mall for a while.”
“Why don’t you reply to my message?” Qiu Zongping asked in a low voice.
Yuan Xi replied with some guilty conscience. “I turned off the WeChat notification.” Qiu Zongping sent him messages all the time today, which upset him, so he went to the settings and turned off the WeChat notification. When he opened it at this time, he found that it was full of messages from Qiu Zongping——
“Where are you Yuan Xi? I am very worried about you, you should go back to the hotel as soon as possible.”
“I just saw the notice that the volcano is likely to erupt recently. It is very unsafe outside. Don’t run around, come back to the hotel!”
“Where are you? Reply to my messages!”
“I’m sorry. I’ll admit my mistake to you. Don’t be angry with me. Just give me a reply, okay? Even one word reply, tell me you’re okay right now.”
“…”
Yuan Xi looked at a long string of messages, his eyes suddenly turned sour, he had obviously decided to let go of Qiu Zongping, but why did Qiu Zongping still care so much about him?
When Qiu Zongping saw Yuan Xi take out his mobile phone to read WeChat, it was all unread messages.
Qiu Zongping was silent for a moment and asked. “You didn’t see the WeChat notification because you turned it off. Why can’t I get through the phone? Is it muted?”
Yuan Xi was stunned, and opened the call log to take a look. There was no missed call. “Did you call me?”
Qiu Zongping quickly reacted and replied. “It seems that you have changed your number? I dialed your domestic number.”
Yuan Xi coughed lightly and replied. “Cough, I didn’t open international roaming on that number. After I arrived in Bali, I changed to a local phone card.”
No wonder the phone kept not getting through, and he didn’t reply to WeChat. Qiu Zongping thought that something happened to him, and was worried for a long time.
Fortunately, Yuan Xi was fine.
Qiu Zongping sighed lightly and looked back at Yuan Xi. “Don’t go out alone and lose contact in the future, I will be very worried.”
When the driver in the front row heard this, he nodded with a smile and agreed. Yuan Xi’s ears were a little red, and he gave a gentle “En”.
It was already very late, but there was another traffic jam on the way back, and it was already 1am in the morning when the driver sent them back to the hotel.
They took the elevator to the fourth floor together. Qiu Zongping’s room was at 401 on the corner. When he walked to the door, he discovered that he had forgotten his room card.
Yuan Xi saw that he stopped at the door and asked. “What’s the matter?”
Qiu Zongping turned back and replied. “I just came out in a hurry and didn’t bring my room card. I couldn’t get in.”
At 1am in the morning, the corridor was very quiet. Qiu Zongping was still wet and looked a little messy because he was caught in the rain.
He had always been calm and cautious, but today he actually made the low-level mistake of ‘going out without a room card’. Obviously, he was very anxious at that time…
Is it for me?
Yuan Xi was taken aback by this thought and hurriedly came back to his senses. “Then what should you do?”
Qiu Zongping frowned. “It is enough to apply for a replacement, but if you want to fill it, you need a passport certificate. My passport is also in the room.”
“Can you use someone else?” Yuan Xi asked.
Qiu Zongping replied. “It can be proved by family members, but my sister’s passport is in my bag. Uncle and the others, they must all be asleep at this time.”
It was already a little past 1am, the old people were obviously fast asleep, so it didn’t seem to be good to wake someone up again.
After all, Qiu Zongping left his room card in order to find him, and he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Yuan Xi thought about it carefully and braced himself to say. “Why don’t you make do with me for one night and talk about it tomorrow morning.”
Qiu Zongping looked at him deeply and asked in a low voice. “You don’t hate me anymore?”
Yuan Xi scratched his head awkwardly. “As long as you don’t talk nonsense and make me angry, we can still be friends. After all, I will continue to play next season, and I don’t want to be too stiff with you.”
Qiu Zongping was silent for a moment before he replied. “Okay, then I will stay with you for one night.”
The key reason for Yuan Xi to let him live was—— room 407 happened to be a double bed room. At that time, when booking online, the discount for a double bed room was relatively large. Yuan Xi thought that if he lived alone, there was no difference between one bed and two beds, so he ordered this room.
Qiu Zongping came in the morning and naturally knew the layout of the room, but the moment he walked into the room, he couldn’t help feeling a little regretful.
—— If only it was a couple’s suite, he could sleep with Yuan Xi.
——However, if there was only one bed, Yuan Xi would definitely not let him stay overnight.
Qiu Zongping quickly drove away the thoughts in his mind, walked to the empty bed as calmly as possible, and asked, “I sleep here, okay?”
Yuan Xi nodded. “En, you should take a bath first.”
Just now, Qiu Zongping ran a whole street outside the mall in the rain to find him, and his clothes were all wet. Yuan Xi felt a little guilty, and took the initiative to find a set of clean clothes and unopened underwear from the box and handed it to him, saying, “Wear mine first.”
Qiu Zongping lent clothes to him on the day of rafting, but today he lent clothes to Qiu Zongping, which was even.
When Qiu Zongping came out of the bath, Yuan Xi was sitting on the sofa reading a novel.
He didn’t finish reading it at the mall before, so he just kept on reading. He was so devoted to it that Yuan Xi didn’t notice it when Qiu Zongping came to him.
Until a low voice came over his head. “Yuan Xi, can we talk?”
Yuan Xi was stunned, raised his head. “Talking about what?”
Qiu Zongping replied. “This morning, I was too impatient. You may not believe what I said. After this day, I think you’ve calmed down. Can you believe what I’m saying now?”
The warm lights in the room softened Qiu Zongping’s face, and his eyes were looking at him gently.
Yuan Xi couldn’t control his heartbeat, and hurriedly looked away and replied. “:What do you want to say?”
Qiu Zongping: “I like you.”
Yuan Xi: “……”
These four words were still simple and straightforward.
But this time, Yuan Xi wasn’t as angry as he was in the morning.
Because he found that he actually wavered a little bit, and his mind was so confused that he could not sort out his thoughts at all.
Seeing that he did not respond, Qiu Zongping raised his chin, gently turned his head, looked into his eyes and said. “I’m not kidding. I really like you. In fact, I have always had you in my heart, but I was a little slow emotionally and found it too late…”
Qiu Zongping paused and said earnestly, “Yuan Xi, since I realized it, when have I lied to you? Trust my heart for you, will you?”
Yuan Xi was completely stunned. After a long time, he shuddered slightly and stiffly replied. “You, you may have a misunderstanding about liking someone… If you have a good impression of someone, and want to care about someone, it doesn’t necessarily mean you like that person. For example, you are also very concerned about Xuewei and Xiao Chen. If you switch to Xuewei, and she doesn’t come back so late today, you will definitely go to search for her. When you were in the team, once Xiao Chen got sick, you were very worried and carried him to the hospital…”
Yuan Xi was trying to find reasons for Qiu Zongping.
Because the conclusion that ‘Qiu Zongping likes him’ was too shocking, he couldn’t accept it for a while.
However, the next moment, Qiu Zongping directly interrupted him. “I don’t misunderstand, I know what likes are. Of course, I will also care about Xiao Chen and Xuewei, but that is my responsibility as captain. But my feelings for you are different.”
Yuan Xi asked. “What’s different? You treat me like a teammate too, right?”
Qiu Zongping’s eyes gradually deepened, and after a while, he said. “I want to kiss you, just like you kissed me after getting drunk that night.”
Yuan Xi’s eyes suddenly widened. “What?”
Before he came back to his senses, his lips warmed slightly. Qiu Zongping’s enlarged face was in front of him, his long and thick eyelashes could even be seen clearly.
Yuan Xi was as stiff as a statue in an instant, but the soft touch and hot temperature on his lips were clearly transmitted to his mind. When he was in a daze, Qiu Zongping even stuck his tongue into his mouth, gently wrapped his tongue and repeatedly licked his mouth.
“Wu…”
Yuan Xi suddenly almost out of breath, and there was an ambiguous voice in his ear, and his mouth was full of Qiu Zongping’s mature man breath. The kiss was a little crude, but try to keep it gentle, although the kiss was very deep, but didn’t have any flavor of lust, it was simple as it was to get in touch with each other more closely, kissing the person who he wanted to cherish most.
Yuan Xi could clearly feel the feeling of being taken care of, and almost every place in his mouth had been gently licked by him.
Being kissed by Qiu Zongping holding his face for a whole minute, Yuan Xi, who was completely stupid, came to his senses, and his cheeks flushed bright red instantly.
Qiu Zongping kissed him.
Qiu Zongping was actually kissing him!
Was this world crazy?
