After Running Away With a Cub, I Became Everyone’s Favourite

 

 

Chapter 56

 

“What do you mean?!”

Xia Qing Shu was stunned into confusion, he thought that the other party might really be a bit delirious to say such words. He had never made the request of wanting to be with Chen Zhiyu.

The other party was either drinking or was xi poisoned, yet the other party did not smell of alcohol.

He decided toThink carefully.

He had read on the news that people who were xi poisoned would have hallucinations and then talk nonsense. In some cases, they hit people and destroy things.

Was Brother Zhiyu under too much pressure at work or had he been led astray by making bad friends?

Xia Qing Shu felt that his little brain was not enough. He took a step back and crossed his arms in front of his chest, his little eyes flicking back and forth as he eyed Chen Zhiyu warily.

Chen Zhiyu was a little dazed.

Instead of his expected elation, Xia Qing Shu was a bit wary and asked him with a wooden face what he meant.

Thinking of the other party’s naive attributes, Chen Zhiyu smiled down and said, “Do you find this news too shocking to believe?”

It’s only natural for a young fool to show his disbelief when the person he’s longing for comes to his door. He’ll Forgive him this once.

Xia Qing Shu was completely baffled. He nodded blankly. It was indeed quite shocking.

“You’re a bit too shy.” Chen Zhiyu laughed helplessly and shook his head, opening his arms, “Still not coming over?”

I’ll just spoil you once.

Instead, Xia Qing Shu took another step backwards.

“Brother Zhiyu, what kind of medicine did you eat ….or  inhale?”

Chen Zhiyu frowned, “No, I’m not sick.”

Xia Qingshu tilted his head, “Really not?!”

No matter what, he always pays attention to doing things in one go, and being interrupted several times, Chen Zhiyu became a lttle anxious, “No!”

Xia Qingshu tilted his head in thought and asked in a tentative whisper, “Brother Zhiyu, I just don’t quite understand what you mean, what you just meant was: you want to be my boyfriend?”

He finished, blinking his big, pretty eyes, his long, curly eyelashes unable to stop fluttering.

He’d had such a confusing day, wasn’t Brother Zhiyu supposed to be abstinent for the rest of his life? What was up with this situation now? Suddenly he wanted to fall in love, and with him?

The other party didn’t dart over, so Chen Zhiyu awkwardly folded his arms and hugged them to his chest as he calmly replied, “You’re wrong.”

Sure enough, he had overthought.

Xia Qingshu reached out and pinched his temples.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiyu hadn’t finished his sentence, “It’s not that I want to be your boyfriend, it’s that you want to be my boyfriend!”

Xia Qingshu: “…….”

What does that mean? He was even more confused. Was this a new tongue twister on the internet?

He thought solemnly about the meaning of that phrase, made sure that neither of the above was the case, and mumbled, “I, I didn’t ……”

“No?! That can’t be!” Chen Zhiyu had an expression of “I’ve seen through you long ago, don’t pretend”.

Xia Qing Shu nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice and said in a thin voice, “I really didn’t ……”

His eyes were wide open, and he deliberately strained his little face to look serious.

“Really no?”

“Really!”

Chen Zhiyu narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the look on the other party’s face in detail, his expression gradually solidifying.

“And you don’t like me either?!”

“No, no.” Xia Qingshu pursed his lips in order to express that he really didn’t, and his little head shook like a rattle.

Chen Zhiyu’s eyes gradually deepened, and he took the initiative to step forward and squeeze Xia Qing Shu’s wrist.

He didn’t control the strength, and Xia Qing Shu was pinched painfully and let out a small “mmm”.

Chen Zhiyu immediately let go of his hand and found a red mark on the other party’s delicate white wrist. It was too tender.

He gritted his teeth, “Then what was that confession you made to me earlier?

Chen Zhiyu didn’t dare to pinch his wrist but he couldn’t let go, so he reached out and held Qinshu’s little finger in his hand.

The white onion-like fingers were soft, for fear of hurting the other party he relaxed his grip, but for fear of the other party running away he tightened, so he ended up holding the finger like that, squeezing from time to time.

Xia Qing Shu’s face turned red. It’s not that he was embarrassed to have his pinky caught, it’s purely because he was caught in a lie.

It was clearly written in the book that Chen Zhiyu hated people who deliberately approached him, and those who took the initiative to confess to him would disgust him.

At that time, he felt that Chen Zhiyu was very annoyed and kept coming to him with a golf club, and he was also afraid of Chen Zhiyu’s revenge against him. He didn’t react strangely after his confession, but it’s been two months now and Chen Zhiyu is only now asking questions.

This person’s reflex arc is too long.

Xia Qingshu pursed his lips, ignoring the fact that his little finger was being held in his hand as a “hostage”, he explained in a small voice, “I’m sorry, I lied…Don’t look at me with that kind of look…. I was…. I was just saying nonsense….you didn’t care at the time, I heard that there are quite a lot of people confessing to you every day ……one more from me does not make a difference, doesn’t it ……”

At that time in the hospital, Chen Zhiyu took a picture of him eating profusely and threatened him. As for what to threaten him for, he is not even too clear now, but in order to save his life, he said sparingly that he liked him.

According to Xia Qingshu’s vision, after he confessed to Chen Zhiyu, Chen Zhiyu would definitely think he was delusional and then completely forget about him. He didn’t expect him to think about it for so long, and now he’s just questioning him about this matter.

Xia Qing Shu felt a painless pressure on his pinky thumb. He tentatively tried to take his pinky back, but was surprised when the other party squeezed it tighter.

“You said that it was nonsense?” Chen Zhiyu closed his eyes, his teeth chattering gently, “And how do you explain braving the heat to deliver food to the office?! What about the fact that your family’s restaurant is named ‘Healing House’, which resonates with my name?”

Piece by piece, they are all ways og expressing his love to him in the red fruit field.

At the mention of these things, Xia Qing Shu’s cheeks grew red.

He tilted his head in thought and explained, “Didn’t the Zhou family lose fifty million at that time, such a huge amount, and my father almost smoked over, so I told him in order to comfort him that you backed me up, and my father felt that you were a great benefactor to our family and wanted to pay you back for a long time …………”

“‘Healing House’ was also my dad’s idea, he got it down right before he told me ……”

“I advised against it, he’s just a bit of a stubborn.”

Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and continued to ask without giving up, “Then when you were in the hospital, and accompanied me, serving tea and water, and had to guard the bathroom door even when I took a shower, not leaving an inch, what did it mean?”

Xia Qing Shu opened his eyes wide, his pretty eyes were flooded with water, and he returned naively, “It’s because you saved me ah, you saved me, so I took care of you as I should ah ……”

Chen Zhiyu eagerly asked, “Then why are you crying?! I was hit, you were crying so sadly, what for?!”

His voice was a little loud and Xia Qing Shu was taken aback. His eyes were red and he wanted to cry again.

So aggrieved, he was a high risk pregnant husband, it was almost 2 o’clock and he wasn’t allowed to sleep, forcing him to answer questions. He couldn’t stand mood swings these days, and the small face was miserably white as tears rolled down his cheeks, one by one.

“I was just worried about you …… A wire pole that big …..it must have hurt so much to be hit….”

“You saved me, I was so worried about you that I cried, couldn’t I?”

Chen Zhiyu’s newly lit flame was instantly extinguished as he fumbled for tissues and helped him wipe his tears as if he were coaxing a child.

“Don’t cry, I didn’t scold you, why are you crying?”

He was the one who had been cheated, he was the one who should have rushed out into the rain and cried bitterly.

When taking the paper, Chen Zhiyu had no choice but to let go of the other man’s fingers, and Xia Qingshu found the opportunity to put his hand behind his back, fearing that his fingers would be captured again.

Chen Zhiyu was stung by his reaction and snorted, “Your father knows how to repay kindness, but you only know how to be angry with me all day long!”

Xia Qingshu opened his eyes wide in bewilderment, not knowing how to reply. He pursed his lips and looked over timidly.

“Why don’t you say anything? Isn’t your little mouth used to blabbering?” Chen Zhiyu’s nostrils flared wide, his big nose breathing out.

Xia Qingshu did not say anything, Chen Zhiyu looked at him quietly, and a suffocating silence appeared in the room.

Xia Qingshu now finally figured out what was going on —

Chen Zhiyu thought he liked him, and came over tonight to make a comment on his liking: because he liked Chen Zhiyu enough, he was now given special permission to become Chen Zhiyu’s boyfriend.

Xia Qingshu said seriously, “Brother Zhiyu, it’s not good for you to allow someone to become your other half because they like you.”

Chen Zhiyu laughed lightly and broke down, “Then what’s good?”

Although Xia Qingshu had never been in love, he understood that the prerequisite for two people to be together was at least to like each other, “The two have to be in love.”

After saying that, he timidly locked eyes with Chen Zhiyu, “Brother Zhiyu, you don’t like me, do you?”

Chen Zhiyu scrutinized him for half a moment and said gamely, “Who would like a little liar like you?”

Xia Qingshu wasn’t hurt by the other party’s answer, he had already known that Chen Zhiyu didn’t like him, he had heard Chen Zhiyu say it himself. Hearing this answer, he felt relieved instead.

Now that the talk was out of the way, Xia Qingshu felt that there was no need for Chen Zhiyu to stay here, “Brother Zhiyu, can you go now?”

Chen Zhiyu said leisurely, “I know you don’t like me, but now you’re starting to kick me out?”

Xia Qing Shu: “……”

It’s almost two in the morning, isn’t it normal to let you go?

Why does Brother Zhiyu look so sad, is it that important to have less of his likes?

It’s just like He Chan before ……

A thought, “Does Brother Zhiyu like me but is too shy to admit it?” ran through his mind, but in the end, there wasn’t enough evidence to back it up, so it was killed in the cradle.

The idea is not understandable.

He reached out his index finger and gently poked Chen Zhiyu on the shoulder, “It’s getting late ……”

So you go……..

The index finger just touched the other party’s shoulder and was immediately grabbed, Chen Zhiyu sighed, “Qing Shu, I’ll ask you two last questions and leave afterwards.”

“You ask ……”

Xia Qingshu’s index finger was not much thicker than his little finger, soft as if it was boneless. The nails are round and clean, and the knuckles of the fingers are translucent with powder.

Pinching from the tip to the belly of his finger, Chen Zhiyu asked leisurely, “Have you ever liked anyone?”

Xia Qingshu shook his head, “No.”

Chen Zhiyu asked gloomily, “Then what makes you say you don’t like me?!”

This statement is purely rogue, this kind of question, how can one answer.

Xia Qing Shu was really caught up in the question, his mouth half open, frozen in place.

“You haven’t even liked anyone, even if you did like me, you wouldn’t know!”

Xia Qingshu: “……”

The more Chen Zhiyu thought about it, the more he felt he was right, “Think about it, your father wanted to bring me food at that time and named the restaurant ‘Healing House’, although you stopped it, but your attitude was not very firm, you still let your father have his way, say it yourself, is this also a kind of disguised connivance? ”

Xia Qing Shu: “…… Ah?”

Chen Zhiyu finished pinching his index finger and took advantage of the other party’s wandering, quickly pinching the other party’s middle finger and ring finger, “Also, just now I asked you, is Shen Xunyi better than me, you subconsciously answered I am better, as far as I know, although Shen Xunyi is not as good as me, he is also quite handsome. But you think I’m better than him, then, in your subconscious, I should occupy a very important position!”

Xia Qing Shu: “……”

Chen Zhiyu saw the other party’s complicated expression, as if his heart was poked, and laughed out loud, “Also, when you went out of your way to intern at my company and work for me as a secretary, wasn’t it just to get close to me?!”

The internship was arranged by the school, but wasn’t the secretary job arranged by you personally?

Xia Qing Shu was just about to open his mouth to explain, but his mouth was pressed by the other party’s finger, unable to make a sound.

“In conclusion, you like me, you just don’t know it yourself!!!”

Xia Qinshu: “……”

Data reloading in progressing ……

Before the other party had time to react, Chen Zhiyu took a big step to the window and stepped out with one leg.

“Qing Shu, please look at your heart squarely.”

“I don’t want you to regret it one day.”

Chen Zhiyu finished speaking and leapt down from the first floor in a dashing manner.
