Chapter 512: As Harmonious As An Old Married Couple
It seemed the word overdo wasn't in Qie Ranzhe's vocabulary. This is understandable especially when it is one's first time eating something this yummy. Like a kid trying ice cream for the first time, Qie Ranzhe couldn't get enough.
He did keep his promise and not take things too far but if Wen Qinxi was given a dollar each time this man took liberties with him he would have enough money to buy a yacht.
Okay, maybe a yacht is an exaggeration. Let's say a scooter. After taking another shower, the two of them hopped into bed. Let's not even mention how hard it was for Wen Qinxi to bar Qie Ranzhe from entering the bathroom when he was taking a shower. It was like negotiating with a toddler to eat their vegetables but Qie Ranzhe wasn't a vegetarian.
As soon as the two lay in bed, Qie Ranzhe was extremely handsy enthusiastically touching here and there with their bodies plastered together. He would sniff and kiss Wen Qinxi's neck with a look of contentment on his face. His leg wound around Wen Qinxi's waist like an octopus as though he was afraid he was going to escape during the middle of the night.
Wen Qinxi who couldn't move now couldn't sleep because this man over here was pressing against him with a tent below his waist. "Um... Ran-ge can you loosen up a little," whispered Wen Qinxi but his mouth was agape with his eyes wide open like a light bulb soon after.
Qie Ranzhe was shamelessly rubbing up against him with his hand sneakily unzipping the man's onesie before slipping in to grope inside. There is no way the story was going to end here. This got heated and yes, another round of touching each other happened that night.
You would think the CEO's appetite would be satiated but no. His hunger seemed to grow because when Wen Qinxi woke up the next morning Qie Ranzhe was at it again even in his half-sleep.
Wen Qinxi felt a sense of crisis so he unpeeled the big hand that was wrapped around him like a burrito. But the moment he shifted the hand wrapped around him tightened drawing him straight into Qie Ranzhe's embrace.
A breath of warm air brush past his ear as Qie Ranzhe whispered with his eyes closed, "Where are you going? You can't leave me."
Wen Qinxi, "....."
"What the fuck," he silently mouthed before clearing his throat, "bathroom... I am going to the bathroom."
"Mhm... be quick," replied Qie Ranzhe before letting him go. Wen Qinxi quietly slipped into his slippers and grabbed his cellphone along the way. He tiptoed to the door and took one last glance at the sleeping man.
Qie Ranzhe looked especially tranquil lying on his back with his one hand laid out where Wen Qinxi had just been sleeping. Wen Qinxi bit his lower lip before exiting the room. This is how he ended up in the closet looking for a talisman to ward off handsome people.
He hid in the passageway closet on purpose so he could talk to Taio Ru but of course, Qie Ranzhe found him with ease. It was because of the dinging sound from the cellphone. As soon as the closet door opened Wen Qinxi fell as he was leaning against the door.
Qie Ranzhe was quick to react capturing him before his head hit the floor. The two stared at each other one looking up with a dazed expression, the other looking down with a smile in his eyes. It was like a cherry blossom moment minus the music.
"What are you doing?" asked Qie Ranzhe while rubbing the hickey on Wen Qinxi's neck with his thumb as though admiring his work of art.
"Such cat-like reflexes..... Are you superman or something?" asked Wen Qinxi looking up at Qie Ranzhe.
Qie Ranzhe's lips quirked up as he said, "Nope, just your knight in shining armour here to rescue the damsel," feeling rather proud of himself.
Wen Qinxi struggled to get up like a pregnant woman struggling to get out of bed. "You are so fuckin cheesy," he said before getting up to his feet. He had to get ready for work and arrive there early so no one would see him exit Qie Ranzhe's car. He entered the bathroom to brush his teeth a little flustered.
Qie Ranzhe followed in with a cheesy grin on his face as he asked, "Which kind? The cheddar kind or Mozzarella?"
Wen Qinxi glowered at him through the mirror but his angry face only made Qie Ranzhe want to bully him further. He hugged Wen Qinxi from behind and asked, "Did you sleep well?" with their faces plastered together.
Wen Qinxi couldn't stay mad for long so he said, "We are going to be late. Hurry up and get ready."
Qie Ranzhe sighed as he complied. "Okay," he said before kissing Wen Qinxi's cheek. The two people got ready for a productive workday like proper members of society.
Wen Qinxi prepared breakfast and the two of them ate together before packing up to leave the apartment. The way they worked together was extremely harmonious that one would think they were an old married couple.
Having finished first, Qie Ranzhe stood by the door with Wen Qinxi's flask in his hand. He seemed impatient but in truth, he was rather lost in thought. He wanted to give Wen Qinxi the necklace at a romantic dinner or something but he couldn't help but feel a sense of uneasiness. He might have been smiling when he found Wen Qinxi in the closet but he felt sour wondering who he was chatting with on the phone.
Who would his lover wake up to chat with after making up an excuse that he was going to the bathroom? No one would understand how he felt when he opened his eyes and couldn't find his lover.
He looked everywhere with an unsettled heart only to find him in the closet chatting with someone. He asked but Wen Qinxi didn't respond making him feel like his position was under siege. It was this line of thought that made him take out the pair of couple's chains and put on the one with the lock around his neck.
When Wen Qinxi came into the lounge with his laptop bag in hand, he found Qie Ranzhe holding up a necklace with a key on it. "What's that?" asked Wen Qinxi standing in front of Qie Ranzhe with a look of curiosity. He placed his laptop bag on the countertop waiting for Qie Ranzhe to express his meaning. To be honest, he had never seen Qie Ranzhe this nervous before which roused his inquisitiveness even more.
"I...," he said while rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, "I.... bought this for you a long time ago and I always wanted to give it to you but I just never had the opportunity to." He walked behind Wen Qinxi and placed it around Wen Qinxi's neck.
Wen Qinxi held the key necklace in his fingers while looking down at it. He was about to ask how long ago this was bought but Qie Ranzhe spoke first.
