Chapter 94
Qin Yizhi didn’t know what to do with Xie Qi for a while.
If he said harsh words, Xie Qi wouldn’t fall for the trick. If he said soft words, Xie Qi would push further.
There was nothing he could do about him.
Xie Qi was a type that Qin Yizhi had never been exposed to before.
After Xie Qi said he wanted more kiss, he saw Qin Yizhi’s eyebrows lower, looking a little displeased and confused, and said, “Didn’t you hear? I told you to do it again.”
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
He raised his eyelids and cast his eyes lightly on Xie Qi’s crimson face. He looked very shy, but he still came to provoke him.
Did he think there was nothing Qin Yizhi could do against him?
Qin Yizhi gritted his teeth, reached over, and gently pinched the back of Xie Qi’s neck.
Xie Qi’s eyes flickered, and he took the initiative to lean over, gently rubbing Qin Yizhi’s chin with his straight nose. Without Qin Yizhi lowering his head, he leaned forward and kissed his lips. Then, he reached out and touched Qin Yizhi’s thin lips with the tip of his tongue.
Qin Yizhi’s lips weren’t actually that thin; they were still fleshy, but because their lips were light in colour and didn’t seem to have any blood, they appeared thinner. When kissing, they felt good.
Xie Qi fell in love with kissing. It was warm and comfortable.
Before Xie Qi could take the initiative to explore deeper, Qin Yizhi gently pushed him away. “I have to go back to the company.”
After saying that, he rubbed the back of Xie Qi’s head somewhat comfortingly, stood up, and left.
Xie Qi: “…?”
He was still feeling a little hot, but he didn’t know how to coax him to stay, so he watched Qin Yizhi leave.
When the person disappeared, Xie Qi felt that the burning feeling was getting stronger and stronger. When he realized, he felt a little shattered.
Because of a kiss, he actually reacted. Did he like Qin Yizhi?
Was he gay?
Xie Qi doubted his whole life, and his thoughts were confused.
…It seemed that it wasn’t just this time, it had happened before, but at that time it had also been related to rubbing against each other.
Xie Qi’s mentality was a bit broken. He called himself a straight man but behaved like this. Although he liked Qin Yizhi very much, it was also because Qin Yizhi was very good to him, and he wanted to tease Qin Yizhi and see other expressions on his face.
Xie Qi wanted to talk to Li Siwen, but he was embarrassed because he was so old and still had this weird trouble.
Xie Qi simply found a relationship forum, thought about it, edited a few sentences, and posted it.
The title was [I am a straight man, I kissed my good brother, and I had a physical reaction. Is this normal?]
He didn’t write anything on the front page, just sent an emoticon.
Maybe the title was too explosive, and there were a lot of replies at once.
[I know every word in the title, but I don’t understand the combination.]
[Wait a minute, how could you, a straight man, have such a good time with another man?]
[Stop insulting straight men, you scheming gays.]
[Actually, it stands to reason that men are lower-body animals. But to be honest, it is impossible for a straight man to accept kissing someone of the same sex. Otherwise, it would be too explosive. I’m afraid you are a closeted gay person.]
[Gay is gay, don’t use the banner of straight men. We straight men won’t take the blame for you.]
Xie Qi looked at it, showed no expression on his face, exited the post, and submitted a deletion request.
He also searched on Baidu to find out what it meant to like someone.
Blushing, heartbeat speeding up, and liking physical contact… Xie Qi found that he had hit all of them.
So, he had fallen in love now?
Xie Qi’s heart was beating a little fast. He pursed his lips and looked thoughtful.
In the next few days, Qin Yizhi discovered that Xie Qi was much more honest, but also too honest. Qin Yizhi reached out to touch him, and Xie Qi quickly grabbed his hand, put it on Qin Yizhi’s thigh, then withdrew his hand, sitting with a serious face.
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
There was nothing he could do about it. Qin Yizhi lowered his body over Xie Qi and said in a low voice, “Come and kiss.”
He leaned over to kiss Xie Qi’s lips. Instead, Xie Qi looked like a gentleman and said seriously, “Don’t be so arrogant.”
Qin Yizhi: “?!”
His face darkened, a bit sternly: “What did you say?”
Xie Qi wasn’t afraid of this paper tiger and said directly, “I told you not to be arrogant and not to seduce me.”
Qin Yizhi: “???”
His stern face showed a rare hint of disbelief, and the corners of his mouth twitched: “Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Xie Qi said, “Of course I know. How unbecoming it is to kiss and hug you all day long! Don’t be so clingy to a man. Get out of the way.”
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
He laughed angrily, really laughing angrily. Although he smiled with hooked lips, the depths of his eyes were cold. “Okay, you said so.”
After saying that, he distanced himself from Xie Qi.
Xie Qi said with satisfaction, “That’s right, keep your distance.”
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
Xie Qi took the computer and continued to type out his homework. The National Day holiday was starting tomorrow, and he still had a lot of assignments to finish. He wanted to get them done first.
Qin Yizhi stood up, but couldn’t help peeking at Xie Qi’s back. Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Qi asked, “Where are you going?”
Qin Yizhi answered calmly, “Since you don’t welcome me, I’ll go back to the company.”
Xie Qi quickly responded, “I’m not not welcoming you. I’m just warning you that a man should prioritize his career. How’s your work? Have you taken back your position in the Qin family? Have you taught Qin Lingyun a lesson? A man should start a family and have a successful career. You can’t just sit around at home.”
Qin Yizhi was speechless for the first time upon hearing Xie Qi’s explanation. However, his tone softened slightly as he nodded and said, “You’re right.”
He then took a long stride and left.
Xie Qi squeezed his laptop, making it rattle, and glared at it. He jabbed the membrane keyboard harder, causing a “pop-pop” sound.
A nearby macho man passed by, heard the noise, and said wisely, “Young master, the keyboard will break if you hit it like that. If you’re feeling stressed, I’ll squeeze your arms for you.”
Xie Qi replied coolly, “You seduced me.”
Macho Man: “Huh? No, I didn’t!”
He was startled, hurriedly tugged at the hem of his clothes, and backed away. He hadn’t realized if the young master and Mr. Qin were a couple—of course, they would be gay. He’d heard that handsome, muscular men like him were quite popular in the gay community, so it was better to avoid suspicion and not become a threat to Mr. Qin’s marriage.
Qin Yizhi didn’t need to say anything else. The macho man quickly adjusted his tight suit, covering his strong chest, unwilling to show off his muscles around Xie Qi anymore.
.
Meanwhile, Qin Yizhi had arrived at the company and was discussing something with Qin Jingmo. After Qin Yizhi finished his instructions, Qin Jingmo remembered something and said, “By the way, Mr. Qin, the old man wants to invite you back.”
Qin Yizhi replied coldly, “Next month. I’ll have time then.”
Qin Jingmo knew what he meant and lowered his voice, saying, “Actually, I think the old man’s attitude is still on your side.”
Qin Yizhi, absent-minded, didn’t respond. He added, “Put out some more bait to make Qin Lingyun take the hook. He’s too cautious, so we’ll need to use force to deal with him.”
Qin Jingmo nodded, “Understood.”
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Qin Yizhi softly said, “Come in.”
The door opened, and a tall, beautiful young man walked in with two cups of coffee, placing them next to Qin Yizhi. “Mr. Qin, your coffee.”
He placed another cup in front of Qin Jingmo.
Qin Jingmo smiled and said, “Thank you.”
The young man smiled back at him, then glanced at Qin Yizhi. Qin Yizhi didn’t look at him but lowered his eyes, lost in thought.
The young man left, head down.
Qin Jingmo then asked, “How about the assistant I hired for you?”
Qin Yizhi glanced at him and replied lightly, “Not very good.”
Qin Jingmo was taken aback. “How could that be? He has a solid resume. He’s worked as a secretary in many big companies. Surely, he’s more than qualified to be your assistant. Why couldn’t you see his advantage?”
Qin Yizhi said coldly, “He’s very stupid. He can’t even hold the documents properly and keeps bumping into me.”
Qin Jingmo blinked, puzzled. “How could that be? That’s all? What about his ability to do things?”
Qin Yizhi lowered his eyes and replied lightly, “I don’t think he’s good at the moment.”
Qin Jingmo stared for a moment, then shrugged, “Then just resign him.”
As he spoke, something seemed to occur to him. He added, “Wait… Is he trying to seduce you?”
Qin Yizhi’s eyes turned cold at the word “seduce.” “Seduce?”
Qin Jingmo explained, “Yeah, I saw a video complaining about a novel before. It said that the overbearing CEO always falls for the clumsy heroine who can’t hold anything properly, ends up spilling food everywhere, and trips and falls. The CEO thinks that kind of clumsy heroine is cute and unique.”
Qin Yizhi sneered sharply, which was rare.
Qin Jingmo immediately fell silent.
Qin Yizhi spoke again, his voice cool and commanding, “Give him one more month’s salary and let him go.”
Qin Jingmo nodded quickly, “Yes, yes. But speaking of which, there’ve been quite a few handsome guys applying for jobs in our company recently. They’re all top students from prestigious schools. Should I pick one of them for you?”
Qin Yizhi sighed tiredly, “No need.”
He paused before adding, “Find someone older.”
Qin Jingmo blinked in realization and asked carefully, “Did you have a quarrel with sister-in-law?”
Qin Yizhi’s eyes shifted slightly, and he replied calmly, “It’s not a quarrel.”
He wanted to ask, who was making a fuss and who was seducing whom?
But he decided it wasn’t necessary.
