《The pillow》


 Chapter 1

    When he got home, it was already late at night.


    Qi Han drank a little alcohol during the party and felt dizzy. He took out the key and tried several times, but couldn''t confirm the keyhole. He climbed his hair and planned to lean against the wall to rest for a while, but heard a soft click from the door lock. The door opened in response, and an arm stretched out from inside, forcefully pulling him into the room.


    There were no lights on in the room, only moonlight shone through the window, making it hazy and difficult to see.


    Before Qi Han could make a sound, he was already heavily pressed against the door panel, passionately kissing and chasing his lips.


    He was already accustomed to this kind of treatment, and his body warmed slightly. He wrapped his hands around the waist of the person on his body, actively deepening the kiss.


    After a kiss, both of them felt a bit suffocated.


    The person pressing on Qi Han stepped back slightly, and the moonlight perfectly reflected his handsome profile - his facial features were very deep, and his black eyes were calm like water, so beautiful that it was tempting.


    Qi Han felt as if he had become clearer and even more intoxicated. He smiled lightly and said, "Why did you come today? You don''t have to work overtime at the company?"


    "This period is quite empty."


    "I heard that Jiamei''s order has been taken down by your company? Congratulations."

    The person glanced at him and asked, "Is the news so clear?"


    "I have no choice but to be nagged by my immediate supervisor about this matter countless times," Qi Han said with a smile as he loosened the person''s tie. "He wished I could become another workaholic, He Ming."


    He Ming had no objection to his evaluation, but he also moved his hands and unbuttoned his shirt one by one.


    Qi Han then looked up and asked, "Your performance this year is so good, should you build a new factory next year? The red envelope at the end of the year is estimated to be..."


    Halfway through the conversation, he was kissed by He Ming again.


    This silent man told him with practical actions that it is not advisable to talk too much nonsense at this time.


    Qi Han closed his mouth wisely and focused on the kiss between the two.


    After He Ming was satisfied, he rested with Qi Han for a while, then kissed the corner of his eye and got up to take a shower in the bathroom. He has a slight obsession with cleanliness, and no matter how tired he looks after finishing, he always takes a shower and grooms himself.


    Qi Han didn''t pay much attention to it, he just sat up wrapped in a blanket and reached out to turn on the nearby desk lamp.


    2:30 am.


    He was really tired and couldn''t sleep anymore, so he took out a cigarette from the drawer and knocked it out to light it.


    The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.


    Qi Han was smoking while listening to the sound, and for some reason, suddenly felt a bit amused. Not long after, He Ming walked out of the bathroom, picked up the clothes he had thrown on the ground before, and put them back one by one.


    Qi Han sat at the bedside, watching him button up, and smiled, saying, "It''s almost dawn. Do you want to sleep here tonight?"


    "No need, I need to go home and change clothes." This is a rule he made himself, no matter how late he stays outside, he will not stay overnight at someone else''s house.


    Qi Han didn''t force himself either, he just said, "Yes, yes, it will take Manager He four hours to change a set of clothes."


    He Ming ignored his teasing and continued to carefully tidy up his shirt.


    Qi Han turned his head and continued smoking, watching the white smoke ring spread and eventually disappear into the air. He couldn''t help but smile again and suddenly said, "Hey, let''s break up."

 Chapter 2

    He Ming was buttoning the top button of his shirt when his fingers stiffened slightly when he heard this sentence.


    However, Qi Han did not see it and added, "This statement seems too exaggerated. We are just bed companions, and we usually play our own games, so it should be considered... easy to get together and disperse?"


    He seemed quite satisfied with the wording and nodded as he spoke.


    He Ming continued to dress slowly and after tying his tie, he finally spoke up and asked, "Why?"


    I''m not young anymore. I can''t just live like this all the time. It''s time to find someone to settle down


    "Are you getting married?"


    "I don''t like women, why bother with myself?" Qi Han smiled and said, "I''ve recently made a new friend and we both have good feelings for each other. I plan to give it a serious try."


    He Ming fell silent again.


    He has already put on his suit and jacket, so there is no reason for him to stay here.


    Qi Han didn''t say much nonsense either. He pressed out his cigarette with one hand and waved it randomly with the other, saying, "Remember to lock the door for me when you go out."


    As he spoke, drowsiness had already struck, so he rolled up the blanket, covered his head, and fell asleep. This is his habit of always covering his head tightly while sleeping, which is said to be a manifestation of a lack of security.


    Every time He Ming saw him, he felt like he might be suffocated to death, and often had the urge to lift the blanket. This time, it was the same. His hand extended forward, but in the end it hung down and slowly clenched into a fist.


    Qi Han has clearly stated his intention to break up, but he has not expressed any opposition. What is their relationship? Even though they were only briefly skin kissed, how did they ever have any relationship?


    He Ming''s beautiful black eyes remained cold. He turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.


    When I got home, it was almost dawn.


    He slept hastily and only rested for two or three hours, but after all, he was still young and went to work at the company the next day feeling refreshed and unaffected. But for some unknown reason, he had a particularly bad mood that day. He didn''t like everything he saw, and just one quotation made his subordinates reprint it three times.


    That night, there was no need to work overtime. He Ming must have gone to Qi Han''s house to pass the time, but now he suddenly became idle. After finding a place to have dinner, he went to the bar he often frequented as soon as it got dark.


    Because it was too early, there were not many lonely figures in the bar. A young man dressed in seductive attire stood on stage singing an incomprehensible love song, and below, there were scattered applause and cheers.

    He Ming lacked interest and walked to the bar to order a glass of wine.


    The bartender and he were also acquaintances, and as soon as they met, they whistled, "Big handsome guy, long time no see."


    He Ming glared at him without responding, the coldness in his eyes could force people to retreat.


    Unfortunately, the bartender still smiled and said, "I heard from Xiao Qi that you''ve been very busy lately? You''ve made another big deal, right? When will we treat you?"


    Upon hearing Qi Han''s name, He Ming lifted his eyelids and asked, "Does Qi Han still come over to play often?"


    "Xiao Qi is still the same as before. When he has time, he comes over to have a drink and takes out whatever he sees that suits him. Every time, he chooses a different one, which is so heartless that it makes his teeth itch."


    He Ming couldn''t help but snort when he remembered the corner of his eyes that he had raised when he smiled.


    The bartender didn''t notice his displeasure and said to himself, "But he has finally turned over recently. I heard he has a new boyfriend, and it seems that he is quite serious."


    He Ming picked up his glass and took a sip.


    The wine was not particularly strong, but he felt a burning pain in his throat.


    "Are you about the same age as Xiao Qi?" The bartender said for a while before finally turning the conversation back to He Ming. "Don''t always play one night stands, should I introduce you to one?"


    "Many things to attend to."


    "Haha, although you''re also a playboy, you all like the same type, so it''s quite easy to find a companion."


    He Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "What type?"


    "The kind of person with black hair, white skin, big eyes, and a clear and beautiful appearance... In this way, Xiao Qi quite meets your standards, but unfortunately, both of you are of the same moral character and cannot come together."


    Upon hearing these words, He Ming''s face suddenly darkened and he didn''t greet the bartender. He stood up straight and walked to the side.


    Yes.


    He and Qi Han are both the kind of people who play very crazy, and when they are together, they have agreed not to interfere with each other. They are only suitable as bed companions, not as lovers.


    But this matter doesn''t need to be repeatedly reminded by others!


    He Ming took a corner seat and sat down, sipping the wine in his glass, watching the lights flickering above him in a bored manner.


    His appearance is very outstanding, although his attitude is indifferent and his eyes are cold, it has attracted many people to approach him.


    As long as he had the right appetite, He Ming was always open to visitors, but this night he was particularly picky, refusing invitations from several people in a row. In the end, only a young man in his twenties caught his eye.


    That person has jet black hair, a snow-white face, and a pair of watery eyes that seem to shimmer, which is his favorite type.


    Both of them are middle-aged and experienced. After drinking a glass of wine together, they walked out of the bar one by one and went to a nearby hotel to open a room.


    He Ming used to meet suitable people and always liked to bring this hotel. Firstly, it was relatively close to the bar, and secondly, he felt that the hygiene conditions here were quite good. But when I walked into the room tonight, I felt that the sheets were not as clean as those in Qi Han''s house, which made him not even have the intention to walk over and sit down.


    And the young man he brought out was very enthusiastic. As soon as the door closed, he took the initiative to come over and kiss his face.


    The sticky sweat and pungent smell of alcohol disgusted He Ming very much. He pushed away the young man wrapped around him and said, "Take a shower first."


    After taking a shower, He Ming called the waiter up again to change the sheets. After tossing around for a long time, the two finally hugged each other and rolled onto the bed.


    Although his people were very cooperative, He Ming was a bit absent-minded and always felt that everything was wrong. He has been with Qi Han for almost two years. At first, he played his own games, but later on, he was busy with work and hardly found anyone else in the past six months.


    Qi Han is straightforward, generous, and loves to play and laugh. Although his personality is much different from his cold and ruthless personality, when it comes to his ability to be charming, the two are on par.


    That guy... would also truly fall in love with someone?

 Chapter 3

    But he couldn''t help but think on, and the more he thought, the more he felt his chest feel stuffy.


    The young man clearly noticed something was wrong with him. His delicate eyebrows furrowed and he asked, "Hey, aren''t you saying ''no''?"


    He Ming choked on him and couldn''t speak.


    The young man thought he had agreed, and his face suddenly changed. He said, "Since you''re ''not good'', you should hide at home and watch porn. What''s the point of running out to play? You look like a human on the outside, but the result is... really unlucky!"


    He looked calm and composed, but he didn''t expect to have a strong temper and strength. He pushed He Ming away and got out of bed to get dressed, cursing. When he walked to the door, he didn''t forget to add, "By the way, you can pay for the room, just treat it as my mental loss."


    After speaking, the door slammed shut with a loud bang.


    He Ming has been in love for many years, but he has never encountered such an awkward situation. If it weren''t for his habit of remaining calm, the expression on his face would definitely be very beautiful. However, apart from that, he didn''t have any feelings of regret. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up his things casually, left the room, and went straight home.


    The next day is a holiday.


    Even if he is a true workaholic, he cannot stay at the company from morning till night. After a busy morning, he will be free in the afternoon.


    If I were to call Qi Han normally, he would definitely come out to see him with ease. Of course, it''s not possible now. He Ming can only go shopping alone at the bookstore, walking back and forth for a long time, but never seeing the sun set.


    When it was almost dinner time in the evening, a friend of his called and shouted to him to go out and play together. For this kind of socializing, He Ming has always been able to push as much as possible, but it''s embarrassing to refuse too many times. Besides, he really doesn''t have much to do, so he had to agree in the end.


    When he went, a group of people had already started making a scene in the KTV, smoking and drinking, and the sound system was still playing ghost crying and wolf howling songs.


    At first glance, there are people I know but don''t know.


    The friend who came to find He Ming is called Awen. He is an uneducated young master who is best at eating, drinking, and playing. He took some time to greet He Ming and was soon pulled to sing again.


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    He Ming didn''t care either. He found a dark corner and sat down quietly drinking on the side. His indifferent expression on his face was out of place with the atmosphere here. Fortunately, not many people noticed him, and most of them only focused on surrounding a young person and making noise.


    That young man has a good appearance, with a fair and clean face, a scholarly scent, and looks like a spoiled master. But with a thin face, my ears turned red from being disturbed by everyone. I kept shaking my head and saying, "I really can''t sing..."


    "Just yelling out loud, what''s so difficult?"


    "Yeah, right, can''t we just be mute every time we come to KTV?"


    "I don''t have all five notes, I really don''t know how to sing. Why not wait for my friend to come and let him sing?"


    "What friend? I think it''s a newly found little lover, right?"


    "Haha, when will the beautiful woman come? We can''t wait anymore."


    The young man''s face turned even redder, shaking his head in denial, but his weak voice quickly drowned out in everyone''s laughter.


    At this moment, there were two knocking sounds outside, and then the door of the private room was pushed open.


    The newcomer has an ordinary appearance, with a curved mouth that seems to be smiling, and looks very approachable. He Ming knows he has mild myopia, but he doesn''t like to wear glasses. When looking at things, he always squints his eyes slightly, adding a unique charm to the smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.


    He Ming didn''t expect to meet him here, and for a moment he felt a slight warmth in his palm.


    "Qi Han!"


    But the young man first called out his name and ran towards him as if he had seen a savior, affectionately holding his hand.


    Everyone suddenly realized that it wasn''t a beautiful woman who came, and couldn''t help but lament in disappointment, but soon they shouted and demanded that Qi Han sing.


    Qi Han didn''t refuse either. After chatting with everyone around him, he confidently took the microphone and started singing. He chose an old song, which is not as heart wrenching and heart wrenching as popular songs nowadays, just softly singing a faint emotion.


    To be honest, his sound quality is not very good, and the songs he chose didn''t have much passion. Soon, not many people were listening. But he still clenched the microphone and sang earnestly, his gaze slightly rising and falling with the tone, as if there was some unknown deep affection hidden beneath the understated singing.


    He Ming looked at Qi Han through the dazzling lights, and in an instant, all the noise around him disappeared, leaving only his faint smile and murmur.


    Then Qi Han also saw him from a distance, and after a moment of confusion, he immediately smiled at him.


    He Ming''s heartbeat was a bit out of order.


    After singing a song, Qi Han naturally walked towards him, looking for a seat to sit down and asking, "Why don''t you go sing?"


    "I don''t know."


    "It''s a coincidence that I met you here."


    "Well, my friend called me over."


    He Ming had a lot to say to him, but Ah Wen came to introduce them at this time.


    It''s ridiculous. What else do they need to introduce between the two of them?


    But Qi Han showed a very interested expression, and after listening to Ah Wen''s introduction, he extended his hand to him seriously. "Mr. He, it''s nice to meet you."


    He Ming reluctantly shook hands with him.


    Perhaps his expression was too strange. Awen poked his arm and whispered in his ear, "This Mr. Qi also works in clothing. I heard he''s against your company. But it''s not working hours now, so it shouldn''t matter. We''re all friends, so why don''t you give me a little face?"


    He Ming snorted and turned his head to look at Qi Han.


    Friend?


    Oh, just a friend of a friend.

 Chapter 4

    He Ming drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp and chatted with Ah Wen several times before finally sending him away. Fortunately, Qi Han was still sitting next to him, clapping his hands to the rhythm of the music. He then asked, "Is that guy who loves to blush your friend?"


    "Hmm," Qi Han nodded and his gaze shifted to the young man, saying, "His name is Xu Le. He just returned from studying abroad. Although he seems dull and silly, he actually has a good personality and is very easy to get along with."


    When he spoke, his tone was light and even a little proud, making it clear that the person had a close relationship with him.


    "The person who makes you want to give it a serious try... is that him?"


    Qi Han pursed his lips, but smiled silently.


    He Ming now knows the answer.


    That young man indeed has a very good personality, with bright eyes and a bright smile. At first glance, he knew he was an inexperienced child. Is this the type that Qi Han would like?


    He Ming couldn''t say what it felt like in his heart, but he felt the feeling of suffocation resurface, stirring his mind. Coincidentally, there was no more wine in the cup, so he had to walk to the side to get a cup. When he returned, Qi Han had already sat with Xu Le.


    They chatted quietly while chatting, looking like ordinary friends without any special behavior. But He Ming knew Qi Han too well, and could guess his thoughts with just one glance and one action, so he felt that their attitudes were too intimate.


    Too... it''s eye-catching.


    He Ming quickly finished another glass of wine, but his frustration only increased and did not decrease. Although he didn''t want to see those two people, his gaze always fell on them. In the end, he had to penetrate through layers of people and walk out the door to take a breath outside.


    The corner of the corridor has a preference for light and there are not many people passing by, making it quite quiet. He walked over and leaned against the wall. As soon as he lifted his hand and loosened the tie tied around his neck, he saw Qi Han also push open the private door and walk out.


    Qi Han first looked around and saw He Ming standing at the corner. He immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled, walking towards him without hesitation.


    He Ming''s heart was pounding.


    As Qi Han approached him, his feet suddenly softened and he firmly grasped his sleeve, almost falling into his arms.


    "Be careful!" He Ming quickly supported his waist and asked, "What''s wrong with you?"


    The sound is soft and imperceptible to oneself.


    If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    Qi Han kept his head down and said softly, "... smoke."


    "Ah?"


    "Do you have any cigarettes on you?"


    He Ming was stunned and took out a cigarette box from his pocket.


    Qi Han quickly snatched it away, then took out his usual lighter and lit the cigarette, as fast as he was doing a trick, until he took a deep puff and exhaled the white cigarette ring before finally sighing long and saying, "Wow, I finally came back to life."


    He Ming stared at his satisfied smile and asked, "Are you so busy that you even forgot to bring a cigarette?"


    "No, I''ve been quitting smoking lately."


    "What?"


    He Ming knows how heavy Qi Han''s smoking addiction is, almost always smoking without leaving his hand. Even if he can''t smoke sometimes, it''s still good to take it out and smell it.


    How could you suddenly think of quitting smoking now?


    Qi Han saw his doubts and smiled, saying, "There''s no way. Xu Le said smoking is harmful to health and he insisted that I quit. I can''t resist him, so of course I have to be obedient and obedient."


    The explanation for quitting smoking for the sake of my crush is really reasonable.


    But the person who did such a thing should not be Qi Han, who has always been carefree and unrestrained!


    He Ming felt like something was stuck in his heart. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard his own voice ringing: "Why do you have to be so wronged? Even if you really like someone, you don''t have to cooperate with them to this extent."


    Perhaps his tone was too bad. Qi Han fell silent for a while after listening, took several puffs of smoke, and then looked up at him with a rare expression of confusion in his eyes. He asked, "Do you also think it''s foolish to change yourself for love?"


    Of course stupid!


    Not only foolish, but also very foolish, very foolish!


    He Ming thought this way in his heart, but when facing Qi Han in front of him, he couldn''t say anything.


    And Qi Han obviously didn''t want to continue the topic either. He smiled nonchalantly and then asked, "What do you think of Xu Le?"


    "He?" He Ming snorted, trying to find more relevant vocabulary. "He looks very young."


    "Yeah, it''s three years younger than me."


    "Do you really think he''s the person you''re looking for? Although he looks good, he has a soft and carefree personality with little sense of responsibility. He''s so young and lacks experience and experience, so he may not be reliable in the future."


    He spoke very seriously, but after hearing this, Qi Han laughed and said, "There is nothing reliable or unreliable about the relationship between two men. It''s just a matter of taking one step at a time."


    After a pause, he gently lifted the black hair scattered in front of his forehead. "But if you dare not take this step, you will never know the final result."


    He was still smoking between his fingers, and the swirling smoke blurred his eyes.


    He Ming''s heart twitched as he suddenly wanted to reach out and embrace the person in front of him, but he only hesitated for a moment before missing the opportunity again.


    Qi Han sniffed the smoke on his body and said, "I''ve been out for too long. If I don''t go back, someone will start to suspect me. Excuse me for now."


    As he spoke, he stuffed the remaining half of his cigarette into He Ming''s hand and turned around to leave. But after taking a few steps, he turned around and blinked at him, whispering, "Remember to keep it a secret for me."


    He Ming didn''t remember how he answered, he just watched as he walked step by step towards the private room. As soon as the door opened, the sound of lively singing and dancing rushed back into his ears. He vaguely saw Xu Le''s silly smile, sweet enough to make people want to punch him hard.


    Then all of this disappeared, and the surroundings became quiet again.


    But He Ming still stared at the door, thinking to himself, what would have happened if he had just reached out his hand? It wasn''t until his fingertips heated up that he suddenly regained consciousness and found that the half of the cigarette had burned out, and the cigarette butt burned his hand.


    It hurts so much.

 Chapter 5

    He Ming shook his hand and the cigarette butt fell to the ground, causing the sparks to hiss and extinguish.


    He felt as if his heart had also darkened, and while he hesitated, perhaps something had gone forever. And he still arrogantly defended the armed city, singing and dancing in peace.


    He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, refusing to enter the private room anymore. He only called Awen and said he had something else to do, so he drove back home.


    After arriving home, I didn''t want anything and fell asleep. The next day, I woke up and went to work as usual.


    Unconsciously, half a month passed quickly.


    Actually, it''s just a lack of a bed mate, but that''s all.


    Just that day when I went to Jiamei to sign a contract, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Qi Han walking out of the office building and greeting him through the car window. He Ming, both public and private, couldn''t pretend not to see him, so he had to roll down the car window and say a few words to him.


    "Are you here to discuss business?"


    "Hmm, sign the contract. And you?"


    "Let''s take a new sample from the next season, we can''t always lose to you."


    Both of them were busy with something, and after a brief chat, they waved goodbye.


    He Ming successfully signed the contract, but when he returned to the company, he always felt something was wrong, as if he had accidentally lost his heart somewhere and couldn''t concentrate no matter what.


    This is unprecedented for him, who has always been passionate about work. Even the secretary couldn''t help but brew coffee for him, gently reminding him to pay attention to his health.


    He didn''t know what was going on with him, and didn''t miss Qi Han very much when he didn''t see him, but once he met, his mind was filled with his figure. After finally finishing work, I was supposed to drive home, but when I calmed down, the car had already parked downstairs at Qi Han''s house.


    He originally had a carefree personality, and now he no longer cared about the cause and effect. He went upstairs and rang the doorbell.


    Qi Han waited for a while before opening the door. He was wearing a loose T-shirt and jeans, with slightly messy hair. When he saw him, he was clearly surprised and said, "Manager He, why did you come?"


    Without hesitation, He Ming blurted out, "I''ll return the key."


    "Ah, yes, I''ve forgotten about it," Qi Han said as he leaned over to let him in. "Could you please make a special trip? I''m really sorry."


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    He Ming made a vague "hmm" sound, but had no intention of returning the key. He just stared at the table of dishes and asked, "Can you cook?"


    "A little bit," Qi Han replied as he was busy pouring water to make tea. "It''s too troublesome to pair the dishes, and my cooking skills are not good, so I rarely do it myself."


    Not just a few?


    He has never seen him cook at all!


    They have known each other for two whole years, but he doesn''t know Qi Han at all.


    He Ming picked up his tea cup and took a sip, seemingly determined to stay on the sofa and said, "So tonight''s guest must be very special."


    Qi Han immediately laughed and said, "Have you had dinner yet? Do you want to stay and eat together?"


    "I''m afraid it''s not very convenient."


    "It''s okay, Xu Le really enjoys the excitement and won''t mind."


    He Mingyue felt uncomfortable as he listened, but he refused to get up and leave, so he had to sit there and stare at Qi Han.


    Qi Han also seemed to find the atmosphere strange. He looked up at the wall clock and said, "I''ll go in and make a phone call."


    He had been on the phone for quite some time, and He Ming could faintly hear his voice outside, but he didn''t know what he had said. It was just that Qi Han''s expression was a bit tired when he walked out of the room. But he quickly regained his composure and set up the dishes while saying, "I originally wanted to stir fry two more hot dishes, but with only the two of us, this table should be enough, right?"


    He Ming immediately reacted and asked, "Is that guy not coming?"


    "He''s quite busy today."


    He Ming was inexplicably happy for a moment, but then became quite angry: "Since that''s the case, I should have notified you in advance."


    Qi Han smiled and didn''t know if he agreed with his statement, but just opened a bottle of red wine.


    Their alcohol tolerance is similar, and they used to occasionally drink together. They just sit face to face in their current capacity, which is the first time.


    He Ming tasted the dishes on the table and found that Qi Han''s craftsmanship was indeed average, but even so, he was willing to cook his own dishes, which shows how important Xu Le''s position is in his mind.


    In order to prevent himself from thinking further, He Ming had to ramble on a few topics, while Qi Han''s answer was also not on the point, and his level of absent-mindedness was on par with his. Finally, He Ming remembered what happened at KTV that day and asked, "Did you successfully quit smoking?"


    "It''s only been half a month, how could it be?" Qi Han raised his eyebrows in frustration and said in a low voice, "But now it''s transferred to underground work. Don''t expose me."


    He Ming couldn''t understand why he was so cautious and couldn''t help but ask, "Is this the stable life you want now?"


    Qi Han stopped his chopsticks and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Although it lacks a lot of excitement, being able to stabilize and have a serious relationship with someone does bring many unexpected gains."


    He Ming couldn''t see his sweet smile at the moment. He felt like a fire was burning in his chest. Suddenly, he reached out to cover his hand and asked, "Why is it that guy?"


    "Ah?"


    "Can''t others do it? Is it just him who can''t do it?"


    "That''s not true, but I happened to meet him..."


    He Ming held Qi Han''s hand tighter and finally spoke out the words hidden in his heart: "The person who first met you is clearly me!"


    His face was cold and stern, and his tone was stiff. Rather than confessing, it seemed more like he was going to argue with someone.


    Qi Hanli was naturally frightened and widened his eyes in astonishment.


    He Ming knew he couldn''t miss this opportunity again, but the damn doorbell rang at that moment. Qi Han was stunned for a moment, then regained his senses and stood up to open the door.


    But just as he walked to the door, before he could grasp the doorknob, He Ming hugged him from behind.


    "Don''t go." The familiar aura brushed over the sensitive area behind his ear, followed by He Ming''s deep and hoarse voice. "Don''t open the door."

 Chapter 6

    Qi Han''s shoulders trembled slightly.


    He Ming held the person tighter and gently nibbled on the back of his neck. He was familiar with every weakness of his body and knew how to pick him up as quickly as possible. "Are you sure that guy is the person you''re looking for? I''m more suitable for you than him, isn''t I?"


    Qi Han took a breath and slowly turned back to look at him, with almost no emotions visible in his dark eyes. "That''s right, but it''s just a physical fit."


    "Qi Han..."


    Qi Han raised his hand and flicked his hair, sighing, "He Ming, you''re drunk."


    "I don''t have it!" He Ming immediately shouted out, "I''m very clear now!"


    Qi Han smiled with disbelief and forcefully broke open his hand, opening the door without hesitation.


    He Ming''s expression suddenly cooled down as he watched the guy named Xu Le walk in, holding a big cake in his hand and smiling brightly, "Happy birthday!"


    After a pause, he looked at He Ming with some surprise and said, "Huh? Are there any guests at home?"


    "Well," Qi Han casually took his cake and said, "Mr. He has just had dinner and is about to leave."


    "Why not sit for a while longer? It''s better to have more people and a lively birthday."


    "There''s no way, Mr. He still has a lot of things to do."


    They chatted enthusiastically and completely ignored He Ming.


    He Ming stood stiffly in place, his gaze fixed on Qi Han. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "Today is your birthday?"


    "Yeah," Qi Han nodded and smiled, "I''ve never mentioned it before, so Mr. He may not know."


    He certainly never mentioned it, because he never asked once.


    He Ming knew that Qi Han had always loved to smile, but it was the first time he realized that his smile was so unfamiliar.


    He had no deep connection with him before, and now even that little connection has been severed. He doesn''t even know when their birthday is, why are he still arguing here?


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    He Ming closed his eyes and finally regained his proper demeanor. He nodded at Qi Han and said, "I''ll say goodbye first."


    Qi Han quickly politely said, "Come and have a seat when you have time."


    He Ming didn''t respond either, turned around and walked towards the door. After stepping out of the door, he couldn''t help but ask, "What day is my birthday?"


    He doesn''t know why he asked like this.


    Or, what kind of answer does he want?


    Qi Han certainly did not answer.


    He Ming walked forward step by step, just as he thought the door behind him would close, he heard Qi Han''s low and inaudible voice: "... March 17th."


    He Ming felt as if he had been punched in the chest, so painful that he couldn''t speak. He doesn''t even remember how he walked down the stairs, but after getting in the car, his hand holding the key shook violently and he tried several times but couldn''t start the car.


    He simply gave up and collapsed on the steering wheel, looking towards the nearby apartment from afar.


    The light in Qi Han''s living room remained on.


    The table full of dishes finally arrived at the person to wait for.


    He Ming couldn''t help but think of the first time he met Qi Han, which was at the bar he often went to. At that time, both of them were well-known figures in the circle, and they had long admired each other''s names. Later, they actually met and somehow got together. He was playing wildly at the time, thinking that love was too troublesome. When he met someone who closed his eyes, he would take them to bed and never talk about sex. Due to his indifference, he rarely maintains long-term relationships with others, except for Qi Han, who is a special case.


    Qi Han has a more free spirited personality than him. He loves to play and laugh, but when he gets to bed, he is very relaxed. They have been together for two years and have never had any disagreements or arguments.


    But it''s just that.


    They had a playful relationship from the beginning. He went to see Qi Han two or three times a week, but never stayed overnight at Qi Han''s house. He remembers that every time after falling in love, Qi Han would like to sit by the bedside smoking and then ask him with a smile if he wanted to stay and sleep for the night.


    How did he answer?


    He always refuses coldly.


    Have you ever had inexplicable feelings? The body is so hot entangled that it is impossible to remain indifferent. But he hid his heart too well and didn''t touch it easily, so he didn''t realize that the person had already settled in his heart.


    And now... it''s already too late.


    He Ming didn''t know how long he had stayed downstairs at Qi Han''s house, but he watched as the lights in the living room dimmed and the lights in the bedroom lit up again. He couldn''t help but clench his fist firmly, his fingertips turning slightly white.


    He still remembers the sheets at Qi Han''s house, as well as the fair body lying on them.


    After a while, even the lights in the bedroom went out, and there was silence all around.


    He Ming suddenly felt very tired. He had never been so tired before when he was racking his brains for new samples and struggling with delivery deadlines. He released his clenched fist, looked at his hands that had not grasped anything, then started the car and finally drove away from that place.


    But I didn''t go home either, I just drove around the street.


    As the sky gradually brightened, he drove through the cold streets, watching the street lights dim one by one, feeling that his heart was also empty.


    He only then had a sense of reality, truly realizing that his relationship with Qi Han had already ended.


    ¡ª¡ªAfter he discovered that he had fallen in love with that person.

 Chapter 7

    Qi Han returned home from work the next day and saw the man on the sofa and the suitcase on the ground at a glance. He couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment, suspecting that it was his own blurred vision. "He Ming? How could you be here?"


    "I opened the door and came in." He Ming sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, answering very naturally.


    Qi Han suddenly remembered that his keys had not been returned yet. He kicked the box on the ground and asked, "What is this?"


    "My changing clothes."


    "You..."


    "My house is currently undergoing renovation, so I will be staying with you for a few days."


    "What?" Qi Han only understood his meaning at this moment, with a more surprised expression on his face. "Didn''t your house just be renovated last year? Even if you really want to mess around, you should still stay at a hotel, right?"


    He Ming glanced at him and said earnestly, "The hygiene conditions in the hotel do not meet my standards."


    Uh, is his house even cleaner than a star rated hotel?


    Qi Han couldn''t speak for a moment before saying, "I''m not suitable for you to live here."


    He Ming had long anticipated his refusal and remained expressionless, asking, "Do you want your homeless friends to sleep on the streets?"


    "Of course not!"


    "So, it''s because I hold a special position in your heart that you can''t live in the same room with me?" Although He Ming is usually quiet and reserved, when it comes to speaking, he is so sharp that he has no defense.


    Qi Han sat down on the sofa with a bitter smile and said, "Manager He, Mr. He, Brother He, please don''t play with me, okay? What do you really want?"


    "Just staying here temporarily."


    Qi Han didn''t fail to understand his thoughts, so he said straightforwardly, "We''re already over."


    "That''s right, I completely agree with this decision." He Ming propped his hand on the sofa and slowly leaned towards Qi Han. His height was already slightly higher, complemented by his cold and stern face, which was full of pressure. "Let''s end our previous relationship of mutual comfort and start over from now on."


    As he spoke, he kissed Qi Han''s lips, his voice low and hoarse, full of charm: "I didn''t sleep all night yesterday, and finally figured out something. Qi Han, I want to chase you."


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    Qi Han blinked his eyes, and a faint light flashed through his black eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, "I already have a boyfriend."


    "It doesn''t matter, before getting married, everyone has a chance to compete fairly."


    Please, how do two big men get married? Qi Han couldn''t help but laugh and cry.


    He Ming still gently kissed his hair, his movements were very skillful, both intimate and ambiguous, and not offensive. He said in a soft voice, "You just need a serious romantic partner, can''t I?"


    To be honest, his handsome face is really heart stopping.


    But after staring at him for a while, Qi Han nodded and said, "You''re not suitable."


    "Why?" He Ming was quite taken aback and his tone became urgent. "Don''t say you didn''t feel anything when you were with me!"


    Qi Han''s expression was calm and he admitted generously, "It''s because it used to be, so it''s even more inappropriate."


    After he finished speaking, he pushed away He Ming and stood up. "I have a sofa bed in my study. I''ll tidy it up for you to sleep on later. You can stay there any time you like."


    Then, regardless of whether He Ming agreed or not, he went to do other things on his own. He Ming stayed up all day and night, and after countless psychological struggles, he finally made up his mind to pursue Qi Han. However, he suffered such a heavy blow, which was truly indescribable. Although he turned on the TV in the living room, his gaze kept chasing Qi Han. Later, when he saw Qi Han smoking on the balcony, he quickly followed him too.


    At this moment, the sky was already dark, and cars were coming and going on the road. The lights in the apartment opposite were bright and dark, and the artificial light completely obscured the faint starlight, which was both brilliant and desolate.


    Qi Han leaned against the railing of the balcony, holding a cigarette in his hand, but did not put it into his mouth. He only watched the white smoke rising, as if enjoying a special scenery, his expression focused to the extreme. He Ming felt his heart skip a beat and strode forward, saying, "At least give me a reason."


    Why Unfortunately, he is not suitable?


    Qi Han smiled and didn''t look back at him. He only looked at the deep night and said softly, "You are the type I like. Not only does your appearance suit my appetite, but your body also fits well. If it were you, I''m afraid I would fall deeply in love."


    He Ming immediately said, "Don''t you just want that kind of love?"


    "Yeah, but you''re not ready yet, are you? You have no intention of loving anyone."


    He Ming felt suffocated and had to admit that Qi Han did know him well. He handled other things cleanly, but always hesitated in the face of emotions.


    He opened his mouth to explain for himself, but Qi Han''s phone rang at that moment.


    After Qi Han answered the phone, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Xiao Le? Yes, I have had dinner. It''s okay, work matters are important, we can make an appointment next time. Hmm, you should also rest early... what? Cigarettes? Of course I didn''t smoke. Hmm, I didn''t even glance at it."


    As he spoke, he pressed out the cigarette in his hand, with a slightly guilty expression, but more of it was the sweetness that couldn''t be concealed.


    He Ming watched helplessly from the side, never jealous of someone like this before. When he regained his senses, his body had already taken action and snatched Qi Han''s phone.


    Qi Han was greatly surprised. "What are you doing?"


    "Last time at KTV, didn''t you ask me a question? I now know the answer." He Ming casually cut off the phone, looked at him straight, and said word by word, "It''s really foolish to change yourself for love, but when love comes, you can''t control your heart at all."


    Speaking, he firmly kissed Qi Han''s lips.

 Chapter 8

    Qi Han''s body froze instantly, only feeling the warm breath covering him, causing his heartbeat to lose its rhythm.


    But with just a light touch, He Ming stepped back and put the phone he had just taken away back into Qi Han''s hand, saying, "I respect your choice. Before you break up with someone else, I will temporarily withdraw from my pursuer''s position."


    Although he had no expression on his face, his tone was very domineering.


    Qi Han was a bit lost in thought and didn''t know how to answer for a moment.


    He Ming reached out to touch his hair, afraid that he couldn''t control himself. After saying good night, he turned around and walked into the next study.


    The sofa bed had already been laid, but as a big man, he lay on it and made a creaking sound with just a slight movement, which was not very comfortable. He has been trapped in love these days and has hardly had a good rest. Even though he is extremely tired, he still cannot bear to fall asleep and cannot help but miss the person who is only separated by a wall.


    He never expected to touch things like love again.


    But once encountering it, he didn''t even have the strength to resist and surrendered immediately. He has never been a procrastinator. Since he loves everything, there is no other way but to keep Qi Han as his own.


    Thinking about it, He Ming unconsciously closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


    The next day is a workday.


    He Ming woke up at 7 o''clock on time, dressed neatly and finished grooming. Qi Han had also prepared breakfast and was sitting at the table waiting for him. He walked over and saw that the meal on the table was extremely simple, just milk, bread, and fried eggs.


    Such ordinary things, he could see the divine.


    Qi Han took a bite of the bread and asked, "What''s wrong? It''s not to your taste?"


    "No, I''m just thinking about how many breakfasts I''ve missed before," he said, his gaze shifting to Qi Han, as focused and captivating as many nights we used to embrace each other.


    Qi Han avoided his gaze and said in a muffled voice, "After your house is renovated, let''s move back in."


    He Ming didn''t answer whether it was good or bad, but just happily enjoyed his breakfast. Anyway, he has already moved in. Whether he will leave or stay in the future is up to him the final say.


    The breakfast was relatively peaceful, and after 8 o''clock, the two of them went out to work one after another.


    He Ming found that his attention could focus on work again. Once he got into it, time flew by quickly. It wasn''t until he had filled his stomach with boxed lunch at noon that he remembered the few home cooked side dishes cooked by Qi Han.


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    Although not delicious, it has a homey flavor.


    He took the time to call Qi Han, and after connecting, he didn''t chat and just asked, "What time do you finish work today?"


    "Five o''clock."


    "Okay, I''ll pick you up at 5:30."


    "Ah?"


    "I have something else to do, I''ll hang up first."


    "Hey, wait a moment..."


    He Ming expected that Qi Han might refuse, so he didn''t give him that opportunity and hung up the phone directly. After completing this task, his mood improved and he was in high spirits all afternoon.


    If there is no socializing, He Ming usually works overtime in the office, but today is certainly an exception. He drives to Qi Han''s company when he arrives at 5:01. It was just past 5:30 when they arrived, and Qi Han was already waiting outside the office building.


    He Ming pulled over and gestured for Qi Han to get on the car, while explaining, "Have you been waiting for a long time? There''s a bit of traffic on the road."


    Qi Han shook his head and asked, "What''s up with me?"


    "Anyway, we''re living together now, so I''ll come over and pick you up from work." After a pause, he added, "Let me take you to work tomorrow too."


    Qi Han immediately replied, "It''s not going at all!"


    "Let''s discuss this later," He Ming casually asked, "which supermarket do you usually go to to buy things?"


    "Why?"


    "Go buy the ingredients for tonight''s dinner. I like to eat braised eggplant, shredded meat with running eggs, stewed pork ribs with white radish..."


    Qi Han only understood his meaning when he heard this, and couldn''t help but laugh and cry. "Mr. He, are you a little too reckless?"


    He Ming glanced at him and asked, "What''s wrong? You don''t know how to cook these few dishes?"


    "... not really."


    "That''s great, then that''s the decision."


    He Ming came to his own conclusion without giving Qi Han any room to refute, and soon parked his car at the entrance of a supermarket to choose the dishes he had just mentioned.


    Qi Han had no choice but to cook obediently when he returned home.


    He Ming didn''t know if it was to supervise him, but he even squeezed into the small kitchen to watch him busy.


    Qi Han couldn''t help but stare at him and complained, "This meal can definitely be eaten outside."


    "No way." He Ming''s tone was quite tough and he immediately said, "You also cooked for that person that day."


    Qi Han''s hands shook as he cut the vegetables, seeming to understand the vinegar flavor implied in this sentence. However, he tried his best to pretend not to hear it, turned on the gas, and said, "If you want to eat, you should also contribute some labor. Help me cut the vegetables first."


    He Ming did not object and silently stepped forward to take the kitchen knife.


    Perhaps it was because the kitchen was too hot, Qi Han''s face was a bit hot. He was busy stewing soup and watching the heat, but his gaze was always uncontrollably fixed on He Ming. Then, startled by He Ming''s actions, he hurriedly grabbed the kitchen knife from his hand and asked, "Have you ever cut vegetables?"


    "No."


    "You almost cut off your own finger just now!"


    "It seems so." He Ming looked indifferent.


    Qi Han took a deep breath, rubbed his sore forehead, and sighed, "You better go to the living room and watch TV. I can handle it alone here."


    Just kidding, he doesn''t want to bring up a kitchen murder case.


    He Ming let out a "hmm", but there was no intention of leaving. He just took a few steps back and leaned against the door frame to look at Qi Han.


    From Qi Han''s stern expression, it can be seen that he really doesn''t like cooking, but his cooking gesture is very skilled. As the heat in the pot steamed up, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and finally a smile appeared on his lips.


    He Ming felt a palpitation in his heart and blurted out, "Qi Han, did I ever say that to you?"


    Qi Han was extremely busy and didn''t look up at him. He just asked, "Which sentence?"


    "I like you."

 Chapter 9

    "Bang !"


    As soon as He Ming finished speaking, the spoon in Qi Han''s hand fell into the soup pot, and the hot soup splattered everywhere, splashing onto his right hand. He suffered a pain and quickly withdrew his hand, staring blankly at the back of his hand.


    He Ming reacted quickly and pulled the person to the sink, then turned on the faucet with his hands.


    The flowing water rushed over Qi Han''s back of hand.


    A slight chill rushed up, causing his thoughts to be somewhat confused.


    That sentence... Of course, He Ming never said it.


    He is always so calm, even in the most passionate moments, he has never uttered a word or two of love.


    Just as He was thinking about it, the deep voice rang in Qi Han''s ear again: "How are you? Do your hands hurt?"


    He Ming fiddled with Qi Han''s right hand as he spoke, muttering to himself, "It''s a bit red, but there shouldn''t be any burns. Do you have any ointment at home? Do you want me to go out and buy it?"


    "No need, it''s in the second cabinet on the left side of the living room."


    He Ming nodded and continued to flush with his hand, asking, "Where is your answer?"


    "What?"


    "I said I like you, and you?"


    Qi Han''s shoulder trembled slightly, but his voice was calm: "You know, I''m quite old and don''t have the energy to play games with you."


    "Do you not believe that I am serious?"


    Qi Han just smiled and slowly withdrew his hand, saying calmly, "The soup is almost cooked. You can go to the living room and wait first."


    He Ming frowned, turned off the fire without saying a word, pulled Qi Han into the living room, and carefully squeezed out the medicine to treat burns from the cabinet and applied it to his hand.


    Qi Han usually likes to talk and laugh, which can be considered a restless temperament, but at this moment, he remained silent.


    Of course, He Ming didn''t dwell on whether he liked it or not anymore. After taking the medicine, he grabbed Qi Han''s hand and kissed him. His beautiful black eyes stared at him and said softly, "Give me a chance."


    Qi Han couldn''t answer at all.


    The atmosphere in the room became awkward as a result. The food was quickly served, and although the dishes were quite diverse, both of them were unaware of their taste.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    It was also after this night that the restless person was replaced by Qi Han.


    He Ming is gradually pressing on emotionally, very forcefully invading Qi Han''s life, and is simply pretending to be his lover. Not only is it responsible for picking up and dropping off when going to and from work every day, but it also occasionally gives a few strange small gifts. He has an extremely beautiful appearance, and with just a flick of his finger, there are plenty of handsome men and beautiful women who stick to him. Now, it''s not very good for him to actively pursue others.


    Despite this, Qi Han was also entangled by him and couldn''t resist it. He went out early and returned late every day, trying every way to avoid someone. Coincidentally, Xu Le has been busy with work during this period, and apart from making a few regular phone calls, he cannot find time to meet him.


    He Ming took advantage of the victory and made full use of the advantage of being close to the water tower, finally forcing Qi Han to agree to go out to eat with him.


    In order to prevent Qi Han from regretting on the spot, he deliberately left work early that day and waited downstairs at Qi Han Company before 5 o''clock. Qi Han procrastinated until 5:30 pm to finish work, and finally sighed while getting into He Ming''s car.


    He Ming didn''t care and only asked, "Is there anything special you want to eat?"


    "It doesn''t matter, I''m not picky about food anyway."


    "Then I''ll make up my mind."


    Qi Han glanced at him and said solemnly, "This meal is just an ordinary business entertainment, with no special meaning."


    He Ming laughed and said, "I''m not even your friend anymore?"


    "Some people are not suitable as friends."


    "Why?" He Ming raised his eyebrows and asked word for word, "Because you have a ghost in your heart? Are you afraid... of being too close to me?"


    Qi Han didn''t expect him to be so direct, and his face suddenly changed. He couldn''t even hold his usual smile.


    He Ming lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, a slight smile in his eyes, and confidently said, "Qi Han, the more you avoid me, the more it proves that you have fallen into it."


    Qi Han closed his eyes without admitting.


    But there was no voice denying it.


    Because it was not a weekend and the traffic jam on the road was not severe, they arrived at the destination in only half an hour.


    He Ming chose a Western restaurant that looked quite ordinary outside, but the interior decoration was very stylish. As soon as he entered, there was a glass wall with various lights alternating as embellishments. After walking around, he could see a milky white piano, and the pianist was focused on playing music.


    Qi Han was attracted by the water curtain behind him and couldn''t help but take a few more glances.


    He Ming greeted the familiar waiter and just as he was about to take his seat, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face from afar. He has only met the other party twice in total, but each time he is deeply impressed, so he is confident that he will not admit his mistake. The most important thing is that the other party is not here to dine alone.


    In an instant, several thoughts flashed through He Ming''s mind, but in the end, he only turned sideways and cleverly blocked Qi Han''s gaze. He said expressionlessly, "Let''s eat somewhere else."


    "Ah? It''s already here, why..."


    "I suddenly feel like eating hot pot."


    "..."


    This sudden decision is a bit strange.


    But Qi Han thought to himself that since it was He Ming''s treat, there was no need to argue against him, so he nodded and agreed. But after all, he had doubts in his heart. Before leaving, he instinctively glanced behind him.


    With just one glance, it was enough for him to see Xu Le sitting in the corner.


    Along with Xu Le, there was also a girl in her twenties, with a clear and beautiful appearance. She didn''t look fashionable, but she was very youthful and energetic. They were very close together, chatting and laughing in a low voice as if no one was around. Their hands were clasped together on the table, and their attitude was full of intimacy.

 Chapter 10

    Anyone can guess what their relationship is.


    Qi Han froze in place, his face extremely pale, and he didn''t take any further steps forward.


    He Ming didn''t say anything, even ignoring that this was a public place. He quickly grabbed Qi Han''s hand and dragged him out of the restaurant.


    At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and the clearly extinguished lights hit Qi Han''s face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.


    But his hands were bone chilling.


    He Ming felt a tightness in his chest, barely suppressing his anger, and took Qi Han to a nearby hot pot restaurant.


    That shop is located on the next street, with steaming heat and bustling crowds, just like another world. After Qi Han sat down in his seat, he gradually regained his energy and started chatting and joking with He Ming as if nothing had happened just now. He also eats a lot of food, which looks normal, but occasionally he feels a bit dazed and clearly absent-minded.


    He Ming was already quiet and reserved, and the night was surprisingly quiet. However, his gaze remained fixed on Qi Han. Seeing his lost and composed demeanor, he felt a slight pain in his heart.


    It is clearly the thing he wants to cherish the most, but unfortunately, it is being wasted by others like this.


    He Ming clenched his fist, drank all the wine in his glass, and then asked, "Are you full?"


    Qi Han had no idea what he had eaten, only showing his usual smile and saying, "Hmm."


    "Let''s go home then."


    Qi Han certainly had no objections, but continued to chat with He Ming along the way. He smiled many times, changing topics one after another, as if he didn''t want to be idle.


    After entering the house, He Ming finally couldn''t bear it anymore. He reached into his pocket and took out his phone, saying, "Call him."


    "What?"


    "Rather than just daydreaming, it''s better to directly ask someone surnamed Xu for clarification," He Ming said in a low voice with no emotion on his face. "Sometimes what he sees with his own eyes may not necessarily be the truth."


    Qi Han''s smile at the corner of his mouth faded and he let out a long sigh, "You''re right. Escaping is not a solution."


    He relaxed his whole body, but his expression became more natural. As he spoke, he thanked He Ming and took his phone to dial Xu Le''s number. As he answered the phone, he had a hint of energy in his eyes and even his voice softened.

    It''s completely like the person in love.


    He Ming self deprecatingly curled his lips and cursed himself for meddling. Because he was afraid of hearing the phone call, he decided to run to the balcony and smoke a cigarette. When he walked back to the living room, Qi Han had already finished talking to Xu Le on the phone and was sitting on the sofa with his phone in a daze.


    He Ming''s heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely anticipated the outcome. He strode over to him and asked, "What did Xu say?"


    Qi Han closed his eyes, seeming to want to bring out some smiles, but ultimately failed. He said, "He said that girl was a blind date acquaintance, it''s just a show."


    "So what? He can date women without telling you now, and in the future he can get married and have children without telling you! Even so, do you still have to pretend not to know and continue dating him? Or do you just need a few sweet words from him and you don''t care about anything?"


    "He Ming!"


    "I admit I''ve been a bit awkward, but I will never retract what I said earlier," He Ming said coldly, holding his arms in both hands. "That guy doesn''t deserve you at all."


    Upon hearing this, Qi Han seemed to suddenly lose his strength and slowly soften onto the sofa. After a while, he squinted his eyes again and started groping around with both hands.


    He Ming knew what he was looking for, so he quickly took out his cigarette box, knocked out a cigarette, and handed it to him.


    After Qi Han ignited it, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a white smoke ring. He looked up at the hazy mist and said in a hoarse voice, "... I''m so tired."


    The two simple words have already revealed too much of his emotions.


    He Ming suffocated his chest and couldn''t hold back his emotions anymore. He suddenly reached out his hand and firmly embraced the person in his arms.


    "He Ming?"


    Qi Han was greatly surprised and forgot to struggle for a moment.


    He Ming''s arms were tightly closed, but of course he couldn''t bear to struggle. He lightly pressed his forehead and sighed, "This is the result of serious love."


    "Hmm."


    "Once you give your heart, it''s inevitable to be hurt."


    "Hmm."


    He said a word and Qi Han responded, his body trembling slightly.


    He Ming became increasingly reluctant to let go of him. He tilted his head and finally kissed his lips. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why give your heart to someone else?"


    The tone was full of bitterness, making people''s hearts tremble. Qi Han couldn''t push him away at all.


    He Ming took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, and the faint smell of tobacco further stimulated his desire. However, when his hand reached inside Qi Han''s clothes, Qi Han suddenly woke up and quickly stood up.


    The cigarette in my hand has long been extinguished.


    Qi Han casually threw it aside and tried to calm his chaotic breathing, saying, "It''s getting late. I''ll go back to my room and sleep first. You should rest early too."


    After speaking, without even looking at He Ming, he strode back to his room.


    "Bang!"


    He Mingyan watched as the door slammed shut, and after sitting on the sofa for a moment, he climbed his hair with some frustration.


    It''s all because of that damn Xu Le!


    He cursed all the dirty words he could remember, then turned his gaze to find that Qi Han had forgotten his phone on the table. He casually took it over and flipped it over, only to see the name of Xu Le again. It was placed in the first place with a loud and dazzling appearance.


    He Ming frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to press the call button.


    "Hello?" Not long after, he answered the phone conveniently.


    "Is that Mr. Xu Lexu?"


    "It''s me," Xu Le was obviously stunned by the unfamiliar voice and asked, "May I ask if you are...?"


    "My surname is He and I am a friend of Qi Han. I met you at his house last time." He Ming spoke to him, took out the car key, stood up, and walked towards the door in a polite yet indifferent tone. "May I ask if you are available now? If it''s convenient, could you come out to chat?"

 Chapter 11

    After Qi Han entered the room, he didn''t immediately fall asleep, just lying in bed tossing and turning. So when the sound of door closing rang outside, he immediately heard it. He couldn''t sleep anyway, so he reached out and turned on the bedside table lamp. It looked like it was almost 10 o''clock.


    It''s so late, He Ming still needs to go out? That guy has been doing really well since he moved into his house, and he has never had a record of going out and fooling around in the middle of the night.


    Today Is there anything urgent?


    Qi Han was already not feeling sleepy, and coupled with his addiction to smoking, he simply got up and walked to the balcony to smoke.


    The wind at night brought some coolness, but he stood like this for over an hour, and in the end, his legs were almost numb, and He Ming had not returned yet.


    In terms of emotion and reason, even if it''s just an ordinary friend, it''s time to make a phone call and ask, right?


    Qi Han made an excuse for himself and turned back to the living room to look for his phone, but after flipping through it for a long time, he disappeared without a trace.


    What''s going on?


    He just called Xu Le a few hours ago, but why did his phone disappear after only a few hours?


    Is it He Ming


    Qi Han couldn''t think of any connection between the two. As he watched the clock pointer on the wall slowly move towards 12 o''clock, he couldn''t help but worry about He Ming''s safety. It wasn''t until he heard the sound of the key inserted into the lock that he breathed a sigh of relief.


    As soon as the door opened, he stood up and welcomed him, asking, "Did you go to the bar for a drink? Why did you come back so late..."


    Before he could finish speaking, he exclaimed in surprise.


    The lights in the living room were very bright. From Qi Han''s perspective, he could clearly see that He Ming''s cheeks were swollen, there was a faint bruise under his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were also scraped, with blood seeping faintly. His black hair hung disheveled in front of his forehead, and his clothes were also stained with a lot of dust, as if he had just rolled on the ground, looking very disheveled.


    Qi Han was stunned and blurted out, "Did someone rob you? Did you rob you for money or for lust?"


    He Ming snorted twice and said to him, "You haven''t slept so late?"


    "I can''t sleep." Qi Han looked at him up and down and continued, "What exactly happened? How could you be injured like this?"


    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    He Ming didn''t want to answer at all, but couldn''t resist his repeated questioning, so he had to turn his face and respond with a muffled expression, "It''s nothing, just a fight with someone."


    "What? Are you running to fight with someone in the middle of the night?" Qi Han was surprised at first, then froze for a moment, instantly understanding the cause and effect of the situation. "You... you went to find Xu Le?"


    He Ming knew he couldn''t hide it, so he sat down on the sofa and explained, "I talked to him for a while, but later because I didn''t like him, I started teaching him a lesson."


    Qi Han glanced at the scars on his face, twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, and muttered softly, "It seems like you are the one who was scolded."


    Unexpectedly, He Ming''s ears were very sharp. He immediately squinted his eyes and retorted, "That kid is more seriously injured than me!"


    After a pause, he said somewhat unwillingly, "He looks gentle and polite. I didn''t expect him to be quite skilled in fighting."


    Qi Han didn''t know whether to cry or laugh: "Didn''t I mention it? Xu Le had practiced free combat before."


    He Ming''s face improved a bit and he snorted, "That''s just that."


    Qi Han was too lazy to make fun of his immaturity, so he only found a bottle of medicinal wine from the cabinet, poured some in his hand, rubbed it open, and silently helped He Ming apply medicine. His movements were very gentle, but when he touched the wound, he still saw He Ming clenching his teeth and quickly asked, "Does it hurt?"


    Even if He Ming felt pain, he wouldn''t admit it and just said "it''s okay" and passed it off.


    Qi Han couldn''t help but sigh and asked, "What did you say to Xu Le?"


    After thinking for a moment, He Ming replied solemnly, "I threatened him with violence to break up with you."


    "What about the result? What did he say?"


    "I don''t know, he was beaten up by me and couldn''t speak."


    Qi Han was well aware of Xu Le''s skills and knew that He Ming was exaggerating, but he couldn''t help but laugh and say, "Next time, don''t be so impulsive. You don''t even think about your age, you''re so foolish as to run and fight."


    "What''s going on?" He Ming raised his eyebrows, showing a rare smile. "Am I already an old man?"


    Qi Han didn''t answer, just looked at him quietly, reached out to stroke the bruise on his face, and his gaze was very gentle. With a movement in his heart, He Ming suddenly grabbed his wrist and touched it bit by bit along his fair arm. His eyes were blazing hot, as if a fire was burning straight to the bottom of a person''s heart. Qi Han''s body shook and he quickly understood his meaning, but this time he not only did not refuse, but also leaned forward and kissed the scar on the corner of He Ming''s mouth. He Ming''s breathing became chaotic in one breath, and he quickly embraced him, eagerly covering his lips. Both of them kissed deeply, their lips and teeth intertwined, lingering and reluctant to part.


    Qi Han only gave a slight response, which aroused He Ming''s emotions. He hugged him and bit and bit, his movements were both rough and aggressive, until the two hugged and shared the last bit of air before reluctantly retreating.


    Qi Han is somewhat confused and infatuated.


    He Ming gasped for breath, took out Qi Han''s phone from his pocket, flipped through Xu Le''s name in front of him, and without hesitation, pressed the delete button.


    "Ah, wait a moment..." Qi Han was surprised and didn''t have time to stop him. When he wanted to grab it back, He Ming had already thrown his phone far away.


    "Mr. He," Qi Han felt a headache, "can you be a little more mature?"


    He Ming''s answer was to approach him and take a bite, with a cold expression on his face, still showing his haughty and indifferent demeanor. He just stared at him with a focused gaze and said in a deep voice, "Break up with him.".

 Chapter 12

    It''s completely in a commanding tone, and there''s no room for bargaining.


    Upon hearing this, Qi Han''s expression froze for a moment, but then he smiled again and said, "You deleted someone else''s phone number. How can I break up with them?"


    After a moment of contemplation, He Ming said seriously, "I can convey it on his behalf."


    Qi Han laughed heartily. He hasn''t shown such a smile for a long time, and the slightly narrowed eyes look very beautiful.


    He Ming felt an itch in his heart and gave him a few kisses on the face, asking with a vague expression, "So, am I now considered a full-time employee?"


    "There''s probably no other person in this world willing to fight for me besides you." Qi Han''s fingers lightly slid over He Ming''s face. Perhaps due to the beautiful moonlight, his voice also became gentle. "However, it still depends on your performance."


    "Okay," He Ming responded cheerfully and suddenly turned over, pressing Qi Han onto the sofa, demonstrating himself through his actions.


    Qi Han didn''t expect him to be so positive, and he couldn''t stop laughing even more. It wasn''t until He Ming covered his lips with his mouth that he struggled to stop speaking.


    He was completely trapped in the sofa, unable to exert any strength, and could only use his hands to grab He Ming''s neck in response to his kiss.


    He Ming held Qi Han''s face with one hand and slid down with the other, quickly unbuttoning his shirt and groping to pinch the protrusion on his chest.


    "Ah..." Qi Han gasped for a moment, his body feeling a bit feverish.


    He Ming exerted even more force to suppress him, causing the two of them to tightly fit together. He kissed him all the way down, hovering around his chest for a while before opening his mouth and biting the tip of his other breast.


    "Ah... um..." Qi Han couldn''t bear the double stimulation and couldn''t help but shout out.


    However, He Ming refused to let him go and deliberately licked it with his tongue. His strength varied from light to heavy, combined with the movements of his hands, triggering waves of trembling pleasure. Until Qi Han''s waist was almost soft, He Ming lifted his head and kissed his lips again. At the same time, his hand continued to touch and slowly penetrated into the bottom of his pants.


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    "Um... wait a moment..." Qi Han''s body arched upwards and said intermittently, "Go back to the room..."


    "Don''t," He Ming grabbed Qi Han''s strong desire and pushed his equally hot lower body against him, biting his ear. "I can''t help it anymore." As he finished speaking, he began to shake in this position, and the amplitude increased, causing the sofa below to creak.


    "Ah... slow down..." The sensitive parts were rubbed against by He Ming''s rough palms and hot hard objects, and intense pleasure rose from his spine. Qi Han could no longer suppress his voice and hoarsely called out He Ming''s name.


    He Ming liked his current state of unconsciousness the most, so he worked even harder to stimulate his desires. Shortly after, Qi Han''s legs spasmed and trembled as he shot them out of He Ming''s hand.


    He Ming kissed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you comfortable?"


    Qi Han''s breath was uncertain and he had no strength to speak. He Ming lifted one of his legs, reached out to the soft opening, and whispered, "Is it my turn next?"


    As he spoke, he inserted his finger into the damp and hot interior, which was very tight, firmly biting him and not letting go.


    He Ming''s desire grew stronger in his eyes, and he thrust a few times randomly. After the place softened, he slowly pushed his stiff lower body in.


    Qi Han trembled all over and snorted due to the discomfort of being entered, but not only did he not cry out in pain, but he wrapped He Ming even tighter, calling his name over and over again.


    He Ming tightened his waist and as soon as he adapted, he began to move rhythmically. He has loved Qi Hanhuan countless times and is familiar with all his physical weaknesses, so every time he collides with the most vulnerable part, forcing him to moan more passionately.


    "Ah, He Ming... He Ming..." Qi Han was completely immersed in passion, not even knowing what he was shouting.


    And sweat oozed from He Ming''s forehead, he lowered his head and bit Qi Han''s lips, penetrating deeper into his body. The room echoed with lewd gasps.


    After a long time, the voice gradually calmed down.


    After venting, He Ming slowly withdrew from Qi Han''s body, but still held onto him tightly.


    The space on the sofa is extremely small, making it difficult to even flip over. He Ming couldn''t help but complain, "It''s time to buy a new sofa."


    Qi Han was so exhausted that he gave him a weak glare and said, "Mr. He, this is my home."


    "Well," He Ming nodded and said very naturally, "from today on, I will also be your person."


    Qi Han was stunned and didn''t answer for a moment. He Ming looked straight at him and asked, "What''s wrong? You''ve already eaten and wiped me clean, but you plan to be irresponsible?"


    Qi Han was amused by him and finally stopped. He wanted to sit up from the sofa, but his waist became weak and he immediately fell back. He Ming knew what he wanted to do, so he hugged him and didn''t let him move around. He reached out to take the cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, took a sip, and then put it into Qi Han''s mouth. After smelling the familiar smoky smell, Qi Han felt a bit of strength recover and pulled He Ming''s arm as a pillow, sighing, "Can we... progress too quickly?"


    "Hmm?"


    "I''m afraid I''ll regret making such a hasty decision in the future."

 Chapter 13

    After that night, He Mingming obediently moved into Qi Han''s room.


    They were tacit and did not mention Xu Le''s name again. However, He Ming understood Qi Han''s personality and knew that he would not procrastinate on such matters, so he did not inquire about the follow-up situation. Of course, in order to declare ownership, he also did a lot of childish things, especially snatching Qi Han''s phone and playing with it for a long time, insisting on putting his name first.


    Qi Han burst out laughing again for this.


    Finally, He Ming pressed on and kissed him, which finally blocked his voice.


    When two people are together, many aspects actually need to be gradually adjusted. Especially He Ming has a proud and independent personality, always following his instructions in everything he does, sometimes changing sofas and sometimes changing wardrobes. He often complains that his home is not clean enough and even bothers Qi Han to prepare dinner every day, which is really frustrating.


    It''s also fortunate that Qi Han has an easy-going personality. Apart from being fond of telling a few jokes, everything big and small follows He Ming. The only thing that made him unhappy was probably He Ming''s insistence on picking him up and dropping him off to work.


    After having breakfast that morning, Qi Han proposed to take the bus to work by himself. He Ming naturally immediately vetoed, "It doesn''t waste much time, why don''t you let me deliver it?"


    Qi Han gave a bitter smile and said, "Mr. He, our two companies are rivals. If my boss finds out that I have a close relationship with you, wouldn''t I never be able to get promoted for the rest of my life?"


    "What''s the relationship? As long as there is a clear distinction between public and private, it''s good. Is it because of a job, we don''t even talk about love?" Although his tone was cold, his words were very reasonable.


    Qi Han couldn''t refute, so he shrugged and asked, "Speaking of work, have you been quite busy lately? I heard your company has taken new actions again."


    "It''s just a promotion activity for a new product, after all, it''s our own brand, and it''s not easy to build a reputation, so we may hire foreign models to promote it."


    "That''s great. Developing your own brand is better than constantly doing processing."


    "Hmm," He Ming nodded, obviously not interested in this topic. He just looked at Qi Han and said, "Do you still have something to say to me?"


    "What words?"


    "Is it so difficult to say ''like me''?"


    "Cough cough," Qi Han almost choked and quickly put down the bread in his hand. He casually tidied up the table and said, "We''re almost late for work. Let''s go."


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    "Do you want to get by again?" He Ming sat steadily in the same spot and muttered to himself, "Or maybe I was too sentimental. I''m just a spare tire until now."


    Qi Han paused under his feet, and everyone was almost at the door. He had to turn around, bow his head, and quickly kiss He Ming''s cheek. He is usually cheerful and generous, quite open-minded, but at this moment, his heart was disrupted by a simple kiss, and he blushed and asked, "Are you satisfied?"


    "Casualistic."


    He Ming knew that he had just experienced the incident with Xu Le, and it was impossible for him to open his mind at once, so he didn''t push himself too hard. Finally, he stood up, took his hand, and walked out.


    The clasped hands are very warm.


    Qi Han''s heart shook and he said softly, "One day... it will be as you wish."


    "Well," He Ming was usually extremely domineering, but now he smiled slightly and whispered, "I''ll wait for you."


    Because of his words, Qi Han remained in a good mood for the rest of the day. Although he was busy with work and even scolded by his boss at noon, he couldn''t change his mood and even found it difficult to suppress the curved corners of his mouth.


    He was busy writing a schedule and contacting the manufacturer that day, and only stopped to take a break when it was almost time to finish work. While pouring water into the lounge, he was pondering tonight''s dishes. Before I had a clue, my phone rang.


    Qi Han picked up He Ming''s phone and asked, "What''s up with me?"


    "I have to work overtime tonight, so I can''t go back for dinner. You can go home on your own first."


    "Ah, okay."


    "Are you okay with being alone?"


    "Mr. He, I am already an adult and won''t be abducted halfway."


    "In short, be careful on the road."


    "Well, you should come back early too."


    He Ming''s style of speaking on the phone has always been concise and clear, so after saying a few words, he hung up. Qi Han also walked back to the office, just holding his phone and watching the light on the screen gradually dim.


    It''s really strange.


    He usually hates cooking the most, and only has to cook all over the world when he is pestered by He Ming. How could he take a rare breath today and not be happy at all?


    Perhaps his mood was affected, and after work, He felt that the sky was also gray. The bus was crowded with people, and it started pouring rain halfway. When Qi Han got off at the station, the rain continued to rain incessantly. He didn''t bring an umbrella with him and had to walk home for at least ten minutes, so he had to wait on the platform with the others.


    Seeing that the rain was not decreasing, Qi Han''s phone rang again. After connecting, it was indeed He Ming''s voice.


    "Have you arrived home yet?"


    "What''s going on? Chagang?" Qi Han smiled and said, "It''s still halfway there."


    "It''s raining."


    "Well, so I''m stuck at the bus stop. But looking at the rain, it should be getting smaller later."


    He Ming remained quiet on the other end of the phone and said, "I have something else to do. I''ll hang up for now."


    "OK."


    After Qi Han hung up, it was a bit strange why He Ming called, but his own situation was even more troublesome, so he didn''t think much about it. He just walked back and forth in the bus stop, occasionally checking if the rain had decreased.


    He was also unlucky, as the sky had completely darkened and the rain continued to rain non-stop.


    Qi Han gradually felt hungry and was hesitating whether to run back in the rain when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.


    That deep voice is very familiar.


    Qi Han was stunned for a moment, thinking it was his own illusion. It wasn''t until the sound rang again that he slowly turned around and saw He Ming standing in the rain with an umbrella.


    The rain was so heavy that even his face was a bit blurry.


    But those dark eyes looked straight over, their gaze gentle and moving.

 Chapter 14

    Qi Han''s heart skipped a beat and rushed over without even thinking.


    He Ming quickly moved the umbrella to cover his head and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"


    Qi Han shook his head and said, "How could you be here?"


    "Passing by."


    "Nonsense." Qi Han''s eyes lit up strangely and he immediately laughed, "You''re not on your way at all. And don''t you have to work overtime?"


    "It''s not an important job, it''s the same to continue tomorrow."


    Qi Han let out a "ah" cry and suddenly realized, "I said in the morning that we should distinguish between public and private. I didn''t expect the public to be abolished so soon for personal reasons."


    He Ming didn''t even move his eyelids and said coldly, "This is the only time."


    Qi Han deliberately put on a aggrieved expression and dragged out his voice, asking, "So next time I get stuck in a heavy rain, I won''t be able to enjoy special treatment."


    He Ming couldn''t speak to him, so he had to remain silent and took his hand and walked forward.


    In such a public place, Qi Han should also pay attention to the influence. After confirming that there were not many pedestrians around, he confidently took a step forward and asked, "Where is your car?"


    "There''s no place to park around here, I drove home first, so it took me a little more time."


    "So you walked over from home?" Qi Han lowered his head and indeed noticed that He Ming''s leather shoes were splashed with rainwater, and his pants were also stained with many watermarks.


    He, who has a slight obsession with cleanliness, may find it difficult to tolerate this, right?


    Qi Han thought this way and couldn''t help but ask again, "Since you''ve been home, why don''t you take an extra umbrella and go out?"


    To be honest, it''s a bit inappropriate for the two big men to squeeze an umbrella together. No matter how close they are, half of their shoulders will get wet. He Ming, however, paid no attention and simply moved the umbrella towards him, tightly gripping his hand.


    Qi Han''s heart suddenly softened, thinking to himself that this was actually not bad. He followed him quietly for a while before asking, "Have you had dinner yet?"


    "Not yet."


    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "Ah, what should I do? I didn''t buy any groceries today, I don''t know if there''s enough left in the fridge."


    "Do you want to go to the supermarket by the way?"


    After thinking for a moment, Qi Han shook his head and said, "It''s already dark and the rain is falling so heavily. Let''s just forget about it."


    "What''s going on?" He Ming curled his lips and asked, "Are you afraid of encountering someone blocking the way and robbing?"


    "Haha," for some reason, Qi Han became particularly fond of laughter whenever he was with him. "That''s right, especially when we go out together, it''s really dangerous."


    "Why?"


    "If the other party only robs money, it''s okay. In case they plan to rob money and then rob again..." He tilted his head and looked at He Ming with a smile. "I definitely can''t bear to let you be taken advantage of, so I have to rush up and fight against the robbers!"


    He Ming was stunned for a moment, only to realize later that he had been teased. Unfortunately, Qi Han was still laughing non-stop beside him, with a heartless and heartless expression that made people love and hate him.


    He Ming felt a stir in his heart and suddenly stopped. He pulled Qi Han into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed him. They were originally walking on the roadside, and He Ming only slightly tilted his umbrella to the side, which happened to cover up this movement.


    But Qi Han was still stunned.


    It wasn''t until after a kiss that He Ming retreated, still unsatisfied, that he lowered his voice and shouted, "What''s wrong with you? This is on the main road!"


    "Anyway, no one saw it." He Ming casually propped up the umbrella again.


    Qi Han couldn''t help but laugh and cry. Just as he was about to scold him a few times, he saw a large area of rain drenching his shoulder. "Hey, how do you actually hold an umbrella? You''re soaked through."


    "Well," He Ming''s attention remained on Qi Han''s just kissed lips, his voice a bit hoarse, "so we need to go home quickly and change clothes."


    "Ah?"


    Qi Han was taken aback for a moment, before he could understand the meaning behind his words, he was already pulled forward by He Ming.


    They were actually not far from home, but in just five minutes, they arrived home smoothly. It''s just that I got soaked in a lot of rain along the way, but Qi Han is fine. He Ming''s suit was completely ruined.


    But he didn''t care about it at all. As soon as he walked in, he took off his coat and led Qi Han into the bathroom.


    After turning on the hot water, the steaming heat permeated the small space.


    But He Ming didn''t rush to take a shower, just pressed Qi Han against the wall and continued the kiss just now.


    Qi Han was so kissed by him that he couldn''t catch his breath and felt a bit dizzy. He reluctantly said, "What if I catch a cold? Let''s take a shower first."


    He Ming clasped his hands tightly and kissed his cheek one by one, but what he said was another thing: "When I saw it raining outside in the office, I immediately thought of you. Although I should have focused on work, my mind was full of your shadow, and I couldn''t concentrate anymore."


    "So you came looking for me?" Qi Han chuckled softly and reached out to stroke his black hair soaked in rain. "How can I compensate for missing one shift for you?"


    He Ming didn''t speak, just gave him a deep glance and kissed him again.


    Qi Han immediately responded enthusiastically to him, while freeing his hands to take off their clothes.


    The sound of splashing water echoed in the bathroom.


    Qi Han leaned his back against the wall, feeling splashes of water on his body, which was too hot to bear.


    ############Harmonious content, automatic invisibility##########


    "Ah..." Qi Han''s waist was weak and couldn''t support it at all, so he could only swing his body to his rhythm.


    "Keep calling." He Ming casually kissed Qi Han''s face and bit his ear, his voice low and seductive. "I like to hear you call my name."

 Chapter 15

    It was already an hour later when the two of them finished taking a shower. Qi Han was so hungry that he couldn''t bear it, but he didn''t have the strength to cook. In the end, He Ming cooked two bowls of instant noodles to solve the dinner problem.


    Qi Han learned from this lesson and sternly warned He Ming not to act recklessly again.


    He Ming ignored him completely and after dinner, he took out his laptop to process the files on his own.


    Qi Han knew he was a complete workaholic and couldn''t bear to waste any time, so he didn''t bother him again and went to bed early. When he woke up in the middle of the night to drink water, he found that He Ming was not sleeping by his side, while the light in the study was still on.


    He only then realized how busy He Ming was. While admiring his exceptional energy, he also had some regrets in his heart. He secretly decided to remember to bring an umbrella next time he went out, so as not to delay He Ming''s time.


    Unfortunately, he had not encountered such an opportunity yet. After working several night shifts in a row, He Ming fell completely ill.


    In fact, this is also a matter of course. After being soaked in the rain and working continuously for several days, even with a good body, it cannot be eaten. But He Ming was fine if he wasn''t sick. When he fell ill all his life, his bad temper completely erupted.


    First of all, he had a very high demand for food. He refused to eat either one or the other. Qi Han coaxed him into taking a few mouthfuls of Congee. Then there is a resolute refusal to go to the hospital and a willingness to lie at home and fend for themselves.


    Qi Han had no choice but to take two days off to take care of him.


    Fortunately, He Ming''s physical foundation is good, except for some minor symptoms of colds and fever, there are no major issues. Moreover, after taking the medicine, the fever quickly subsided, making it difficult to get up in a daze.


    Qi Han took the opportunity to do a big cleaning and cooked a few dishes that He Ming loved. When he entered the room at noon to invite him to eat, he found that someone who had been shouting about boredom had already fallen asleep on the pillow. He Ming usually has a stern face and a cold and heartless expression, but only in such moments does he appear a bit gentle.


    Qi Han couldn''t bear to wake him up, so he walked gently to the bedside and sat down. He reached out to help him pull up the blanket, and then plucked the scattered black hair in front of his forehead.


    He Ming''s eyes were tightly closed, with no signs of waking up.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    Qi Han''s fingers slowly moved downwards, first sketching the handsome features, and then poking He Ming''s cheek.


    He Ming frowned in his sleep and suddenly grabbed his hand.


    Qi Han let out an "ah" cry and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but He Ming was very strong and held onto him tightly. At the same time, he opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"


    "At 12 o''clock, it''s time for lunch."


    He Ming remained half asleep and half awake, so he simply stuffed Qi Han''s hand into the blanket and said, "I have no appetite."


    Qi Han only found it funny.


    Why is this person like a child when they get sick?


    "It''s okay if you don''t go to the hospital. You must eat three meals well, otherwise how can you recover from the illness?"


    "Then wait until I''m hungry before eating."


    "He Ming..."


    "Don''t make any noise," He Ming glanced at him and then closed his eyes again. "I want to sleep."


    Qi Han couldn''t help but sigh and said, "Yes, young master."


    Although he complained in his mouth, he felt that He Ming was very cute. He couldn''t help but bow his head and kiss his face, muttering to himself, "Am I spoiling you too much?"


    He Ming snorted twice, patted the empty seat next to him, and said, "You can also sleep with me for a while."


    "Huh? Are you planning to pass on the cold to me?" Qi Han said as he lifted the blanket and lay down.


    "That''s not bad either," He Ming rolled over and hugged him tightly, muttering, "It''s just my turn to take care of you."


    Qi Han tried hard to suppress a smile and said, "It''s easy to say. I''m afraid you haven''t done anything yet, and my kitchen will be destroyed by you first."


    He Ming was not very skilled in this aspect and couldn''t say anything to refute him. He just rubbed his ear in frustration.


    Qi Han''s ears were itching, and he couldn''t help but smile as he closed his eyes.


    However, He Ming couldn''t sleep anymore and muttered, "What are you laughing at?"


    "No, I''m just thinking... I really need to find someone to be by my side." There''s no need to love me so much, just cuddle and sleep like this is enough happiness. ¡°


    "Since that''s the case, why did you play so crazy back then?"


    Qi Han blinked his eyes and said half truthfully, "Because I am very infatuated."


    Upon hearing this, He Ming finally opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyebrows furrowing slightly, clearly expressing his doubts.


    Qi Han explained, "Once I fall in love, I will disregard everything, so I won''t easily give up my emotions until I meet the right person."


    "So, shouldn''t I be very in line with your wishes?"


    This guy... seems too presumptuous.


    Qi Hanbai glanced at him but smiled without answering. After a while, he suddenly asked, "What about you? And why do you play around in the world and never talk about emotions?"


    "It''s too troublesome." He Ming answered extremely simply, with a cold tone.


    Qi Han became interested and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Really? I thought you had been hurt by love before, so you dare not love anymore."


    He Ming fell silent, his chest trembled slightly, but he did not answer his question.


    Qi Han immediately squinted his eyes and asked, "Hey, shouldn''t I guess correctly? A handsome guy like you would also be dumped? You... um um um um..."


    The following series of questions disappeared into the entangled kiss between the two.


    Qi Han kicked He Ming a few times before finally catching his breath and said, "I always play this trick, it''s so cunning!"


    He Ming lowered his head and continued to kiss him, saying, "Do you seem to really want to be infected by me? No problem, I will definitely give my all and die."


    "Uh, wait a moment..."


    Qi Han struggled hard, but He Ming ignored him and only reached out to pull the blanket, covering the two of them together.

 Chapter 16

    Due to his limited physical strength, He Ming certainly didn''t do anything out of bounds, but he also tossed around in the blanket for a long time before falling asleep with Qi Han in his arms. Qi Han took a nap with him for a while, and only got up when the sun was about to set. After all, he coaxed He Ming into having a meal.


    As a result, in the evening, the two of them couldn''t sleep anymore.


    He Ming regained some energy and opened his computer to receive emails, while Qi Han picked up a book and flipped through it. However, he was somewhat absent-minded and occasionally stopped to look at He Ming. After a while, he leaned over and probed his forehead, saying, "The fever has almost subsided."


    "Well, I should be able to go to work tomorrow."


    "So fast?" Qi Han was startled and said, "Will you be working too hard? Your health is important."


    "It''s okay, it''s the weekend in two more days, it won''t be too tiring."


    "You don''t need to work overtime this week?"


    "There''s no reason to work overtime every day?" He Ming reached out and took Qi Han''s shoulder, kissing him on the cheek. "You should be free on Sunday, right? Let''s go out for dinner, exercise in the morning, and go to the bookstore in the afternoon."


    After arranging everything, his attention returned to the computer screen.


    Qi Han showed a sudden realization expression and asked, "Can this be considered a date?"


    "... not really."


    "But you blushed."


    "It''s so noisy, shut up."


    "Haha!"


    He Ming did indeed wake up early the next day. Qi Han saw that his body had recovered and there was no signs of fatigue on his face, so he didn''t say anything to stop him and simply let him go. In the next two days, he was particularly attentive to the dishes, carefully flipping through some recipes and putting in a lot of effort to stew and replenish the soup.


    Of course, He Ming understood his thoughts. After taking a few sips, he suddenly asked, "Yesterday was goji berry and pig liver soup, and today is angelica beef soup. Do you think I''m not working hard enough in bed?"


    Qi Han chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, so you must finish the soup."


    He Ming nodded and buried his head while eating, saying, "Today I''m here to wash the dishes."


    "Ah?" Qi Han widened his eyes for a moment, thinking he had heard the wrong thing. He understands He Ming''s personality and knows that he is the kind of person who would rather order takeout every day than do household chores. How could he

    Under his gaze, He Ming turned his head somewhat unnaturally and said, "Now we live together, we can''t leave everything to you. And you also hate cooking, don''t you?"


    Qi Han felt his heart skip a beat and said with a smile, "From now on, you''ll be the one responsible for washing dishes."


    He Ming widened his eyes and snorted coldly, "Take an inch to advance."


    However, there was no verbal refusal.


    Qi Han then laughed even more heartily, finished his dinner in a good mood, and couldn''t wait to push He Ming into the kitchen.


    He Ming indeed turned on the faucet and began to drain water, while asking, "Do you have any requirements for washing dishes?"


    "No, just don''t break my bowl."


    Qi Han leaned half against the door frame, watching as he slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves and watched the splashing water wet his wrist. He felt that the scene was too unreal and couldn''t help but be a bit distracted, with a seemingly absent sigh escaping from his mouth.


    He Ming looked back at him and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Qi Han shook his head and whispered, "It feels like he''s dreaming."


    After a pause, he asked with a whimsical expression, "By the way, will you be able to see Manager He washing his hands and making soup next time?"


    "Fool," He Ming immediately cursed out loud, then gave him a glance and said, "Come here."


    Qi Han walked over step by step, hugging He Ming''s waist from behind, with his chin resting on his shoulder, and providing technical guidance while watching him wash dishes.


    "Add more detergent... Yes, just rinse it with water..."


    Originally, washing dishes was just a small matter that wouldn''t take long to complete, but due to Qi Han''s joining, it actually slowed down He Ming''s movements, and the two even started chatting in the kitchen.


    "Are you going to rest tomorrow?"


    "Hmm."


    "Where are we going for lunch?"


    You decide.


    "Then go to the nearby... Seafood City, right?"


    "Okay."


    While chatting vigorously, He Ming''s phone suddenly rang.


    He looked down at his wet hands and aligned with Han, saying, "Please help me answer the phone."


    Qi Han then released his hands, took out his phone from He Ming''s pocket, pressed the call button directly, and delivered it to his ear.


    "Hello, who is that?"


    "It''s me."


    On the other end of the phone, only two simple words came, but He Ming''s body suddenly froze, and his hands, soaked in water, didn''t know where to swing. This familiar voice, even if never dreamt of, has always been deeply imprinted in his memory and has never been forgotten. But why did he recall it at this time?


    It seemed like a long time had passed, and it was only a brief moment. He Ming finally regained his voice and replied, "... it''s you."


    "Do you remember me?" The other person''s tone was very light, with a strong smile. "It''s been so long since we last contacted, I''m afraid you''ve forgotten everything."


    He Ming couldn''t laugh and said coldly, "It''s only five years."


    "Yeah, five years, things have changed."


    "Do you have anything to do with me?"


    "Well, I have good news for you. I have decided to come back from abroad. Come pick me up at the airport tomorrow morning at 10 o''clock."


    "What?"


    He Ming''s heart skipped a beat, even his tone changed, but Qi Han next to him didn''t notice anything unusual about him. He still helped him hold his phone and smiled, blinking at him. Seeing that he didn''t react, he reached out and poked his cheek, deliberately teasing him.


    He Ming felt some difficulty breathing, and in a daze, the person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "That''s the decision. I have something else to do, hang up the phone first. Goodbye."


    That person is still the same, self-centered like him. Once he decides something, he cannot tolerate others to refute it.


    He Ming stood stiffly there, waiting for the other party to collect the thread, but only a moment of silence followed by a deliberately lowered voice: "He Ming, I miss you very much."

 Chapter 17

    He Ming was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover, the phone had already hung up. He listened to the busy beeping sound, unable to say what it felt like. After a while, he turned his head to look at Qi Han.


    Qi Han immediately understood and stuffed his phone back into his pocket, jokingly saying, "Manager He is really a busy person. You look pretty ugly, why? There''s something urgent?"


    "Well, it''s a little troublesome."


    "Is it important?"


    He Ming thought for a moment and continued to focus on washing dishes, but said, "I''m going out tomorrow morning and I can''t accompany you to dinner."


    Upon hearing this, Qi Han let out a soft "hmm" and remained silent.


    He Ming felt uncomfortable in his heart and couldn''t help but ask, "Will it disappoint you?"


    "How could that happen?" Qi Han burst out laughing, "I''m just worried that your body won''t be able to handle it. You''re just right for the illness, and you''ve been busy all day."


    He Ming remained silent and simply reached out to grab his shoulder, kissing him on the forehead.


    Qi Han smiled and dodged, saying, "You''ve soaked all your clothes. Hurry up and wash the dishes!"


    He Ming silently washed all the remaining dishes and chopsticks. After passing the inspection by Qi Han, the two of them went back to the living room to watch TV together. Qi Han likes funny programs, while He Ming is not very interested in them, so he accidentally presses the remote control.


    The night passed peacefully.


    But after lying in bed, He Ming felt a bit restless.


    Am I going to pick up tomorrow or not? There is no doubt about this, almost as soon as he heard that person''s words, he had already made a decision.


    But after seeing each other?


    Will his heart continue to stir up waves?


    He Ming couldn''t imagine it, but at the same time, he didn''t want to think too much. He turned over and hugged Qi Han next to him, only then did he sink into his dream.


    The next day, he woke up very early.


    He Ming hesitated for a while before climbing out of bed, wearing a suit and tie as usual, as if going out to work. Qi Han was also awakened and got up to make breakfast in a daze. He yawned and asked, "Will he come back in the afternoon?"


    "It depends on the situation."


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    "If you''re busy, give me a call."


    "OK."


    He Ming had breakfast and left early, but due to the holiday, the road was heavily congested, so it was almost time to get to the airport.


    Five years ago, when he just separated, he had imagined countless scenes of reuniting with that person. But to this day, as Qin Yun walked by himself, there was only a sense of melancholy in his heart.


    It''s true that things are different from people.


    Of course, Qin Yuntian has always been handsome and charming. A simple white shirt and black leather pants have enhanced his charm, coupled with the casual tone of his every move, making him the center of attention no matter where he goes. His jet black hair was left half long, casually stuck behind his head, his skin never tanned, and his eyes seemed to be able to speak - all the things that attracted He Ming remained unchanged, but his heart no longer accelerated and jumped.


    He Ming himself felt strange, but it wasn''t until Qin Yuntian said hello to him that he responded with a strange and polite tone.


    "I knew you would definitely come," Qin Yuntian threw his luggage into the car and naturally sat next to him. "I''m so hungry, let''s find a place to eat first."


    The tone and movements seemed like they had only been apart for five days.


    He Ming couldn''t refuse, so he had to take him to the city to find a restaurant.


    Qin Yuntian was indeed starving, and when ordering, he didn''t even consider the wallet of the person who paid the bill, so he rudely called out a lot. However, he never wolfs down food, and he also eats slowly and elegantly.


    He Ming eats very little and occasionally talks to him.


    "Is there nothing to eat on the plane?"


    "Yes, but it''s not delicious. I can''t stand the food outside, so it''s better here."


    "Why did you suddenly come back?"


    Qin Yuntian stopped, first took a cup to drink water, then turned his gaze to He Ming and smiled, saying, "It wasn''t a sudden decision. I''ve been thinking about it for a long time, after all, there are people and things in this place that I can''t bear to part with."


    His smiling eyes were too eager, forcing He Ming to shift the topic: "What should we do with our work?"


    "Well, I will gradually shift my center of gravity, but at the beginning, I may have to fly around a lot."


    He Ming nodded and before he could express his opinion, the phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Qi Han calling. He quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Hello?"


    "Manager He, you forgot to report your whereabouts to me."


    "Sorry," He Ming rubbed his brow before realizing that he should have called Qi Han. "The matter hasn''t been resolved yet."


    "Can''t you come back this afternoon?"


    "Hmm."


    "Where''s dinner?"


    "I''ll try my best to come back as soon as possible."


    "Okay, take care of your own health."


    Qi Han hung up the phone happily, but instead He Ming stared at his phone for a while until Qin Yuntian tapped his finger on the table before he regained his senses.


    "Who called you?" Qin Yuntian still buried his head in eating and asked casually, "Lover?"


    He Ming refused to mention this matter much and coldly replied, "It''s none of your business."


    "Ha," Qin Yuntian laughed at once, "you''re still the same as before, always speaking so directly. I don''t know who can stand you?"


    He Ming didn''t like this statement a bit and frowned, "For example, you can''t."


    "That''s because our personalities are too similar. You want to change me, I want to change you, but we end up losing both ways. The two of us who love each other must make compromises."


    He Ming quite agrees with this point. He is indeed similar to Qin Yuntian, with the same pride and self. At the beginning, they attracted each other, but when they truly got along, they hurt each other. He recalled all the things in the past and couldn''t help but sigh, "Unfortunately, neither you nor I can make concessions."


    "That was in the past." Qin Yuntian looked up at him, his eyes flickering, especially bewildering in the sunlight. "I used to be young and ignorant, and didn''t understand what was most important, but now it''s different. If it''s for you, I can step back and then step back."

 Chapter 18

    He Ming''s heart moved, but he avoided his gaze and said calmly, "It''s just if."


    "Yeah," Qin Yuntian''s face changed and he forced a smile, "we ended five years ago."


    He concealed his emotions very well, just sipping water one after another until he finished drinking all the water in his cup before saying, "Don''t we talk about your current lover?"


    "There''s nothing to say."


    "You''re hiding so well, you''re afraid I''ll be jealous?"


    "No," He Ming smiled rarely and whispered, "I''m afraid he''ll be jealous."


    Qin Yuntian choked on him and couldn''t speak. After a while, he said, "Have you ever attended a training class and specifically practiced how to speak ill of others?"


    As he spoke, he made a shooting gesture: "Every sentence hit the bullseye."


    However, He Ming had no intention of appreciating his humor and only made a gesture, asking, "Are you full? I''ll go pay the bill."


    "What''s going on? You''re in a hurry to shake me off?" Qin Yuntian slowly leaned back in his chair, hands folded to support his chin. "Unfortunately, you''ll probably see me a lot in the coming period of time."


    "What does it mean?"


    "Don''t you know? I came back from work this time to participate in the promotion of your company''s new products."


    He Ming was taken aback for a moment, but on second thought, he understood and said, "Are you that model?"


    Qin Yuntian smiled and nodded.


    Although He Ming is not the person in charge of the new product promotion plan, he has been keeping an eye on its trends. He only had a few days off due to illness, so he didn''t have time to see the model''s information. Unexpectedly, the model invited from abroad was Qin Yuntian.


    He was still in a daze on his side, while Qin Yuntian had already reached out his hand and said, "I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."


    He Ming had to shake hands with him and then get up to pay the bill.


    Qin Yuntian also followed and said very naturally, "Take me home. I still have a lot of luggage to tidy up, and you can go over and help me."


    He Ming glanced at him and was about to say no, but he continued, "I have arranged a dinner with the big boss of your company tonight. Before that, I must tidy up my room."


    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    How can someone refuse even when everything has been said to this point?


    He Ming silently agreed and made a guest appearance as a driver to take him home. Then, under the command of Qin Yuntian, he did a lot of physical work.


    Qin Yuntian bought this house before going abroad and has been living with relatives for five years. During this time, it happens to be available, so cleaning it up is not difficult. The most difficult thing to take care of is his pile of strange clothes. After everything is done, look at how dark it is.


    He Ming was about to give Qi Han a call when his phone rang first.


    As soon as he answered, Qi Han''s laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Check attendance."


    He Ming also curled his lips and said, "We can''t make it to dinner. You can eat it yourself first."


    Qi Han exclaimed, unable to hear if he was disappointed, "Where are you now? The company?"


    He Ming didn''t want to mention the matter of Qin Yuntian, so he vaguely replied, "Hmm."


    Qi Han fell silent and suddenly burst into a gentle smile.


    He Ming felt strange and said, "What are you laughing at?"


    "It''s nothing, just thinking of the day it rained, when you appeared in front of me, I was really happy..."


    The more He Ming listened, the more confused he became. Before he could ask a reason, he heard Qi Han''s light tone say, "I won''t disturb your work. Come back early tonight."


    After hanging up the phone, He Ming felt a bit uncomfortable. He has always been the one who says one for one and two for two. Why is it that others always hang up his phone first lately?


    He frowned and watched as the sky gradually darkened, hoping to hurry home. As he put on his suit, he said to Qin Yuntian, "Is it almost time? Where are you and the boss scheduled to have dinner?"


    "Let''s meet at your company first."


    "I''ll take you there."


    Qin Yuntian nodded, but he changed into his formally ordered clothes in the room before coming out. He said, "I''m sorry, it''s bothering you to work overtime on Sunday."


    "I decided to come and pick up the plane myself."


    "Looking at our long-standing relationship?"


    He Ming paused in his footsteps, but did not turn back: "Even without that, we are still childhood friends."


    "That''s right," Qin Yuntian straightened his hair and smiled, "my keys are still the same as before. You should have been wearing them all along, right?"


    He Ming''s hand trembled imperceptibly, but he still strode ahead of him and said expressionlessly, "Change the lock."


    Perhaps due to his words, Qin Yuntian spoke much less along the way. Of course, he had his pride, and no matter what he thought in his heart, he never showed a trace on his face. Just like today, although he appears ambiguous everywhere, he doesn''t say a word of substance.


    He said he misses him, what kind of missing is it?


    He Ming didn''t want to know the answer.


    If it were Qi Han, that guy would definitely dare to say anything and do anything, right?


    He suddenly regretted wasting the whole day, not even having a meal with Qi Han. Unfortunately, the road was heavily congested again, and when they arrived at the office slowly, it was already past dinner time.


    Qin Yuntian calmly took out his phone and called the boss.


    He Ming was thinking that Qi Han might still be waiting for him, right? Accidentally, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the entrance of the company. The light from the car headlights shone over the person''s pale face - the fine black hair hanging down from the forehead half covered the eyes, and the tightly pursed corners of the mouth curved slightly upwards, as if smiling at any time.


    Who else can there be besides Qi Han?

 Chapter 19

    He Ming''s mind went blank for an instant.


    How could Qi Han be here? How long did he stand at the company gate? Does he  know that he doesn''t actually work overtime? Many questions ran around in his mind, but for some reason, He Ming''s first thought was a few months ago when he and Qi Han saw Xu Le''s blind date in the restaurant.


    At that time, Qi Han''s face was also so white that it was almost transparent.


    Even if it''s just a misunderstanding, how can he tolerate encountering this kind of thing twice in a row?


    He knows Qi Han''s personality, either he doesn''t love him or once he falls in love, he will give everything wholeheartedly.


    He Ming felt a dull pain in his chest and hurriedly stepped on the brake without looking for any parking space. He casually stopped by the roadside and opened the car door to walk towards Qi Han.


    After arriving by his side, as if afraid that he would suddenly disappear, the first thing he did was grab his arm and ask, "Why are you here?"


    "Of course I''m here to see you." Due to the dark sky, Qi Han''s expression was a bit blurry, but his tone was still lively and lively. "I''m afraid you might not be able to attend to meals if you work too hard."


    Speaking, he shook the plastic bag in his hand.


    He Ming finally realized that he had already had this idea when he called earlier, right? As a result, he ended up empty handed. He imagined with what kind of mood Qi Han had prepared the food and brought it over, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by a claw, with a strong pain.


    "Have you been to my office?"


    "Well, I didn''t expect so many people to be around your company on Sundays. Can workaholics also be contagious?" Qi Han said a joke before saying, "Your colleague said you haven''t been to the company today."


    "I..." He Ming didn''t know how to explain it, even if he had no relationship with Qin Yuntian, he shouldn''t have lied to him.


    And Qin Yuntian had already opened the car door and walked over, laughing, "Is this your friend? Don''t you introduce him to us?"


    He Ming certainly wouldn''t do such a thing, with a bad face and no words.


    Instead, Qi Han generously extended his hand and said, "My name is Qi Han, and this gentleman is...?"


    Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Qin Yuntian, I am..." He deliberately paused and glanced at He Ming before continuing, "He Ming''s work partner for the next few months."


    "Ah, so you''re discussing business outside," Qi Han nodded knowingly. "Have you had dinner yet? I know there''s a good restaurant nearby."


    "I already have an appointment today, let''s reschedule."


    The two of them were frank and generous, while the other had a free spirited conversation. However, they had a very casual conversation, completely ignoring He Ming. He Ming admired their cultivation and thought to himself that if he were to play the roles of him and Xu Le, he would have already punched them.


    After chatting, Qin Yuntian went into the company to find the big boss, while He Ming kept holding onto Qi Han''s arm and pulled him into his own car. Qi Han obediently did not struggle, and even after getting on the car, he smiled as if nothing had happened.


    The more he says, the more abnormal it becomes.


    He Ming has never regretted it so much.


    He clearly said that he would never make Qi Han sad!


    No matter how many reasons he could find, at least at the moment he received Qin Yuntian''s call, he was indeed shaken.


    He felt extremely suffocated in his heart. When the road conditions improved slightly, he freed up one hand and gently grasped Qi Han''s left hand on his lap. Qi Han trembled all over, his fingers trembling slightly under his embrace.


    "Sorry, today..."


    "Shh." Before he could finish speaking, Qi Han had already raised a finger and pressed it on his lips. "There''s no need to explain anything, everyone should keep some privacy, right?"


    "But..."


    Qi Han squinted his eyes and smiled at him, "You just didn''t tell me where to work overtime, it''s not a big deal. Besides, maybe I have a secret to keep from you."


    He Ming didn''t know what to say, he just held his hand tighter.


    Qi Han''s fingers were still cold, but he pulled them out of his palm and said, "Drive well. If your skills are not good enough, we will die together."


    At this moment, He Ming thought in his heart that it was good, but he dared not speak out and reluctantly withdrew his hand.


    Qi Hanjing couldn''t calm down and soon asked, "That Mr. Qin is a new employee of your company?"


    "No, it''s the model I told you last time who was invited from abroad."


    "No wonder he has such a good figure. He''s about the same height as you, right?" He said as he looked at He Ming beside him. "Hmm, is he still taller?"


    He Ming''s face suddenly changed and he shouted without even thinking, "It''s me who''s taller!"


    "Haha."


    Qi Han successfully teased him and immediately laughed unsteadily.


    He Ming was so angry that his teeth itched. As he was still driving, he couldn''t do anything to him, so he had to hum hard.


    Qi Han laughed enough before continuing, "That Mr. Qin not only has a good figure, but also has beautiful facial features. It seems that he happens to be the type you like."


    He Ming was surprised and almost accidentally stepped on the brake. After finally calming down, he asked, "What are you talking nonsense about?"


    "Isn''t it?" Qi Han smiled and gestured on his face, "Your hair should be black, your eyes should be big, and your skin should be white. All the bed companions you used to find were of this type."


    The same thing has been said to him before.


    He Ming didn''t expect to be seen through so easily and froze there without knowing how to react.


    Qi Han glanced at him with a smile on his lips, and casually asked, "Do i look a bit like him?"

 Chapter 20

    He Ming felt his throat extremely dry and unable to speak at all.


    Qi Han continued to speak on his own, "I don''t know if it''s me like him, or is he like me?"


    He Ming didn''t know how much Qi Han knew, but he could no longer listen. Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Enough!"


    He didn''t care if there might be a car accident, so he pulled Qi Han over and pressed him into his arms. He said coldly but domineeringly, "The only person I like is you. Don''t daydream."


    Qi Han''s posture at this moment was very awkward, probably uncomfortable, but he still obediently leaned against He Ming''s shoulder, watching the street lights passing by the car window one by one. He gently said, "Hmm, I believe whatever you say."


    Afterwards, he did not mention anything about Qin Yuntian.


    Thanks to He Ming''s excellent driving skills, half an hour later, the two finally managed to return home unscathed.


    As soon as the lights in the living room shone, He Ming realized that Qi Han''s face was still not very red. He had indeed put in a lot of effort to take care of himself these days, but was this fatigue at the moment physical or mental?


    Although Qi Han had already said he didn''t care and appeared calm on the surface, he just felt restless and restless. Is it because Qi Han is too free spirited? Even though a person is by their side, they are afraid that if they don''t pay attention, they will disappear.


    Qi Han was not affected by anything and helped him hang up his suit in an orderly manner. He asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"


    "Not yet."


    "Then I''ll heat up the food."


    After speaking, he turned around and entered the kitchen.


    He Ming first sat on the sofa in the living room, then stood up and walked back and forth for a few laps. Then, he suddenly remembered something and took out a string of keys from his pocket.


    There were several keys of different sizes hanging on the keyring, making a clanging sound. He Ming counted them one by one and finally grasped the oldest and most inconspicuous one.


    Qin Yuntian guessed right, he always carried this thing with him.

    The cold metal pressed against his palm, tingling slightly - this was a memory he could never part with.


    He Ming closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his dark eyes became even darker. Suddenly, he forcefully took off the key, turned around, and threw it into the trash can.


    "Dang!"


    When the sound of the key falling sounded, his heart also jumped, but he didn''t turn back and walked straight towards the kitchen.


    Qi Han was busy with hot dishes when he saw him come in and smiled, saying, "It''s almost done. You can wait in the living room for now."


    "Have you tried it yourself?"


    Qi Han did not respond.


    He Ming immediately knew the answer and sighed, "If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you don''t have to wait for me."


    "Okay."


    Qi Han acted quickly and soon prepared the food. The two of them sat down to eat together, seemingly as usual, but the atmosphere was unusually dull.


    He Ming usually loves peace the most, but at this moment, he couldn''t bear it anymore and suddenly spoke up, "I used to... have a childhood sweetheart."


    Qi Han''s action of picking up the vegetables was delayed, and he said, "Talking about this topic while eating may affect your appetite."


    He Ming ignored him and continued, "Our elders are friends, so we have often been together since we were young, and the schools we attended when we grew up are also the same. Our personalities are very similar, it''s just too similar. I''m afraid no one in this world knows each other better than us. For a while, I even thought we would be together for the rest of our lives."


    He seemed to remember that moment, paused for a moment, and continued, "But the longer we got along, the greater the conflict between us. In the end, no one was willing to compromise and we were completely stuck in a stalemate. At this very moment, he got an opportunity to develop abroad."


    Qi Han asked thoughtfully, "Has he gone yet?"


    He Ming nodded and said, "This should be considered a test, right? As long as I say a word, he will definitely not go, but I didn''t say anything, and even sent him on the plane. We were secretly fighting, let''s see who lowered their heads first, and the result... we just parted ways like this."


    Qi Han put down his chopsticks and leaned over to pat the back of his hand, then asked, "Will you regret it?"


    "Perhaps," He Ming said as he remained expressionless, but then smiled. "I thought I missed him very much, and even the bed companions I found looked a bit like him. But when I saw him again a few years later, I no longer had the same mood as before."


    At this point, Qi Han could ask, "Is that person Mr. Qin?"? But he didn''t say anything, just quietly looking at He Ming, his eyes filled with tender love that couldn''t be concealed.


    He Ming felt his whole heart beating violently. He knew he liked Qi Han for a long time, but he never loved him like he does now. He could just reach out and hold Qi Han in his arms, but because he was too attached to this moment, he dared not move around. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "No one can resist the power of time. No matter how much we love each other, once we separate, our feelings will gradually fade away. So, we should never separate, okay?"


    He said this too childishly.


    Who would have expected that even the cold and indifferent He Ming would sometimes show weakness?


    Qi Han, however, did not make fun of him as usual. Instead, he leaned over and gently kissed his lips, saying softly, "I won''t leave until you''re tired."

 Chapter 21

    Upon hearing this, He Ming immediately frowned and said, "Who said I would get tired of it?"


    Qi Han leaned half against him and chuckled, saying, "Yes, yes, you don''t know, but there''s a possibility that I do. You''re beautiful now, but when you get old and pale in the future..."


    "Qi Han!" He Ming really didn''t understand what was going on with him. Everything else was fine, but it was too unprofessional. His heartless appearance made people want to take a bite.


    "Originally, we are in a sweet period now, so ''beauty is in the eyes of the beholder''. Soon, we will enter a period of fatigue."


    "..."


    He Ming twitched at the corner of his mouth, finally biting his lips and passionately sucking and kissing.


    "Mmm, dinner..."


    "I''ll eat later."


    He Ming now understands that in order to make Qi Han serious, there is only one way to do it by example. Of course, after they finished tinkering, dinner had already cooled down and the two of them didn''t have much energy to eat.


    The storm that night has cleared up.


    Starting from the second day, He Ming was once again immersed in the intense work. The promotion of the new product is imminent, but there is still a lot of preparation work to be completed, especially the coordination of various departments that he needs to check one by one. This time, he is really busy working overtime every day.


    During this period, he also had a lot of contact with Qin Yuntian, but their attitude was still ambiguous. They cooperated well in their work, which relieved He Ming. However, what really caught He Ming''s attention was not the tedious work, but rather some subtle changes in Qi Han''s work.


    Although the time they spend meeting each other every day has been greatly reduced due to overtime, just by holding Qi Han to sleep at night, He Ming can detect something is wrong with him.


    He used to sleep with a blanket covering his head, but now he sleeps very well, so good... as if he hasn''t fallen asleep at all.


    He Ming expected that Qin Yuntian''s appearance had caused his emotions to fluctuate, but he was too busy to find time, so he could only try to restrain his willful and reckless temper, thinking to spend more time with him when he was on vacation.


    If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    After more than half a month, He Ming finally managed to finish work earlier one day, but there were still many documents that needed to be processed. After using his laptop in the living room for a while, he ran into the study and started searching.


    Perhaps he had been searching for too long. Qi Han, who was originally watching TV, walked over and knocked on the door, asking, "What are you looking for?"


    "Some information." He Ming pointed to the desk and said, "I remember when I first moved into your house, I stuffed a few documents into the drawer."


    "Ah," Qi Han nodded with a sudden realization, "so those are yours. I thought they were insignificant things, so I put them away during the big cleaning."


    As he spoke, he opened the door of the bookshelf and said, "I forgot where I put it. Let''s look for it first."


    But just as he was about to take action, the phone rang.


    He Ming quickly waved his hand at him and said, "You go answer the phone quickly, I''ll just find it myself."


    "Hmm."


    Qi Han''s bookshelf was bought very large, with various books on the upper layer and neatly stacked folders on the lower layer. He Ming started searching from the lower level, flipping through folders one by one, and found that many of them were information about clothing. He didn''t expect Qi Han to work so hard, and couldn''t help but admire him. Halfway through, he was surprised to see that a file bag was filled with letters.


    The envelope had already turned yellow, obviously an old item from many years ago. The preserved letters were not particularly old, but what surprised He Ming was that the recipient''s name was not Qi Han, but another somewhat familiar name - Lu Feiyun.


    If it were a completely unfamiliar person, it would be fine. However, he had a slight impression of this name and knew clearly that he had seen it elsewhere.


    He Ming''s thoughts were a bit confused, and he couldn''t help but continue to search. Soon, he flipped through a diary, and the paper inside was also a bit yellowed. From beginning to end, it was all blank, except for a name written on the title page with dragons and phoenixes dancing.


    Of course, it is still Lu Feiyun.


    But he recognized it at a glance, it was Qi Han''s handwriting.


    He Ming was completely stunned, silently collecting those letters and putting in a lot of effort to find the necessary information. When he got up and walked out of the study, Qi Han had already finished answering the phone and was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He casually asked, "Have you found it?"


    "Hmm."


    After much thought, He Ming couldn''t suppress his doubts, so he spoke up, "I accidentally stumbled upon some old letters just now, and they weren''t written with your name."


    He stared closely at Qi Han and asked, "Did you originally call him Lu Feiyun?"


    Qi Han was stunned and a strange color flashed in his eyes, but then returned to normal. His gaze remained on the TV and he lazily replied, "Yes, I used this name before, but when my parents divorced, I changed my surname to my mother. How about that? Does it sound better now?"


    He Ming didn''t answer, he still looked at him like this, feeling that many thoughts came to his mind, but he couldn''t grasp them. However, he finally knew where he had seen the three words Lu Feiyun.


    He walked step by step to Qi Han''s side, his gaze swirling around the delicate face, and said, "I have a high school classmate who also calls me that name."

 Chapter 22

    Time seems to have paused for a moment.


    Then Qi Han slowly turned his head to meet He Ming, his eyes slightly narrowed, still the smiling expression on the corner of his mouth.


    "Same name and surname? It seems that this name is quite common." He patted the empty seat next to him and said calmly, "By the way, what kind of person is your classmate?"


    "I don''t remember."


    "Aren''t you a high school classmate? You have such a bad memory?"


    He Ming felt a bit confused in his heart, so he sat down next to him and said, "I remember he wasn''t tall. He always sat in the front row, wearing a pair of glasses, and his head couldn''t be lower. He didn''t like to talk, and no matter what activities he had, he would hide in the corner from afar. Therefore, although he was in the same class, he didn''t have much impression of him."


    Even, he was not sure if he had seen the person in person.


    Qi Han nodded knowingly and said, "It''s hard for you to remember his name."


    He Ming suffocated and said, "That''s for a reason."


    "Why?" Qi Han raised his eyebrows and immediately showed an interested expression. "Is it because he has a crush on you?"


    If he were to be teased like this, He Ming would definitely turn his face on the spot, but this time he didn''t show any abnormal behavior and only reached out to touch Qi Han''s hair. His palms were slightly sweaty, and he felt as if his heart was pricked by something, very uncomfortable.


    Qi Han''s reaction just now was impeccable. And it''s normal to have two people with the same name and surname. Strangely, he met these two people one after another, and one of them completely changed his name. What connection could there be between them? He Ming didn''t expect it, he just didn''t want to think about it.


    Qi Han saw him in a daze and took the opportunity to pinch his cheek. After taking advantage of it, he smiled and retreated, saying, "Aren''t you extremely busy? Why are you free again now?"


    "Ah..." He Ming suddenly remembered that he hadn''t finished his work yet. He quickly put aside those inexplicable thoughts and turned on his computer to get busy again.


    When he finished sending his last email and was finally able to shut down his computer to catch his breath, he realized that it was almost midnight.


    The TV in the living room has long been turned off, and Qi Han, who was originally sitting on the sofa, is nowhere to be seen. He Ming expected that he had already fallen asleep, and after a brief wash, he walked lightly into the room.


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    The room was dark and gloomy, with only a faint moonlight shining through the window, outlining Qi Han''s blurry figure - he was half sitting at the head of the bed, one hand resting on his knee, the other hand holding a cigarette, smoking non-stop, looking both cold and lonely. He Ming suddenly remembered that when they were still bed companions, every time after their love, Qi Han would also sit by the bedside smoking like this. Why does he feel a slight stabbing pain in his chest when he first see someone in the same position without feeling anything?


    Just thinking about it, suddenly Qi Han lowered his head and coughed twice. He jumped in his heart and immediately walked over to snatch the cigarette from Qi Han''s hand. He frowned and said, "You''ve smoked too much."


    Qi Han looked up at him and smiled, saying, "Why? You want me to quit smoking too?"


    "You''re too addicted to smoking, you should be more restrained in the future." He Ming casually extinguished his cigarette and said seriously, "You can smoke up to half a pack a day."


    Qi Han laughed and said, "First, it''s a pack and a half a day, then one stick a day, and finally it''s completely smokeless. What''s this called? Boiling frogs in warm water?"


    "Do you have any objections?"


    "I dare not," Qi Han reached out to grab his waist and pressed his lips against it. "For the sake of beauty, I have to sacrifice a little hobby."


    He Ming didn''t actually have that kind of mood, but he still firmly hugged Qi Han and became entangled with him in bed. Entering that hot body time and time again seems to be just to confirm The person in his arms is a real existence. But the more so, the more empty his heart becomes.


    After this night, the distance between the two seemed to deepen. On the one hand, it is because He Ming''s work is too busy, and on the other hand, it is natural that the name Lu Feiyun has been like a thorn in his heart. Fortunately, this incident did not affect his condition. His performance at work was still outstanding, coupled with the full cooperation of colleagues in the company. After more than a month of intense struggle, the promotion of the new product was finally successfully completed.


    On the day of the celebration banquet, Qin Yuntian also arrived. The group first had a big meal in the restaurant, and then they clamored to go to the bar.


    As a manager, He Ming was certainly drunk by the people under his command, but in the end, Qin Yuntian helped him block a few glasses. Despite this, he also felt a bit dizzy. He took some time to go to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water before feeling much clearer.


    When he finished tidying up his suit and returned to his seat, he found that his colleagues had already finished dancing, except for Qin Yuntian who was still sitting there, playing with his phone on the table.


    He Ming was stunned and didn''t retrieve his phone. He just sat down next to him and started pulling off his tie. Qin Yuntian glanced at him and asked, "Are you drunk? Your tolerance for alcohol seems to have declined."


    He Ming exhaled but did not respond. Qin Yuntian didn''t find it boring and continued, "Have you been feeling down lately? Is it because of my relationship or your lover? He already knows about our relationship, right?"


    He Ming''s body shook and he immediately turned his head to stare at him. Qin Yuntian shook his phone and said, "Your phone rang just now. I answered it for you, it was him calling."


    Without hesitation, He Ming retrieved his phone and upon checking, there was indeed Qi Han''s phone number. He quickly asked, "What did you tell him?"


    "It''s not a big deal," Qin Yuntian smiled slightly, maintaining his usual elegant demeanor. "I just told him that I''m alone with you.

 Chapter 23

    Upon hearing this, He Ming gritted his teeth and let out a low curse. He didn''t even bother to get angry and quickly dialed Qi Han''s phone number.


    But after waiting for a long time, no one answered.


    He Ming didn''t believe in evil. He called twice in a row. He was very worried. By the third time, the phone was finally connected. Qi Han''s lazy voice came from there: "I was half washed in the bath, and the foam on my body hasn''t been washed away. You''d better really come to me with something urgent."


    Upon hearing the familiar teasing tone, He Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We''re having a celebration banquet today. I''m currently drinking with a group of colleagues at the bar."


    "I know," Qi Han''s tone was very calm. "Mr. Qin just told me that your colleagues are clamoring to dance, and the sound is quite loud."


    He Ming paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Qin Yuntian, facing the innocent expression that the person had deliberately put on, and suddenly realized that he had been tricked.


    What a mess!


    Whenever he encounters something related to Qi Han, he is prone to losing his sanity.


    He climbed his hair in frustration and said, "I have to go back later today."


    "Understood. But you should drink less alcohol and never drive by yourself."


    "Hmm."


    After hanging up the phone, He Ming glared coldly at Qin Yuntian and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"


    "Just a small joke," Qin Yuntian smiled and said, "You really value him. It seems like I really lost this time."


    "What does it mean?"


    "Two weeks ago, Mr. Qi... Hmm, his name is Qi Han, right? He came to me for coffee."


    He Ming was surprised. Qi Han had never mentioned this matter before, and how could he take the initiative to find Qin Yuntian? "What did you say?"


    "I casually chatted a few words, but I must keep the specific content confidential." Qin Yuntian lowered his head and played with his fingers, saying, "But I have to say that Mr. Qi is much more powerful than he appears on the surface. I don''t think he''s a easy person to deal with, but when I come to him, I can only bow down. He really used the tactic of" play to win "and" retreat to advance "very well."


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    He Ming became more and more confused as he listened, but it seemed that he had vaguely guessed something. He managed to suppress his unease and said coldly, "He is a person who says whatever he has, and his thoughts are not as complicated as yours."


    Qin Yuntian smiled slightly and said, "Humans only choose to believe what they are willing to believe. He knows you well, but you may not necessarily know him."


    Of course, He Ming could hear the meaning behind his words and felt it was very piercing. "Huo" stood up and said, "I''m a bit drunk. Let''s take a step first. Can you help me tell everyone that it''s my treat today?"


    Qin Yuntian didn''t stop him, just covered half of his cheek with his hand and asked low, "I can tell you love him very much. How much do you love him? Is it like we did back then?"


    At that time, with just a glance and a gesture, they could understand each other''s thoughts.


    Even such a deep love has finally become a thing of the past.


    He Ming stopped in his tracks.


    The dazzling light in the bar shone on his face, making his face even more handsome. His voice was deep as a sigh, "I don''t have to love him to death every time, I just spend time with him..."


    After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the bar.


    The night breeze outside was a bit cool, fortunately it was still early. When he returned home, Qi Han should have not fallen asleep yet.


    He Ming regretted saying so much to Qin Yuntian. He shouldn''t have listened or asked anything, only thinking wholeheartedly about Qi Han. That''s right, people who fall in love are all blind, as long as they stick to it and keep going.


    He Ming remembered Qi Han''s instructions and instead of driving himself, he called a car to go home. When we arrived home, looking from afar, the lights in the living room were indeed still on.


    He had an inexplicable fear in his heart, and suddenly wanted to hold Qi Han tightly in his arms. So he quickly walked upstairs and took out the key to open the door, only to find that the door was open and not closed at all.


    What''s going on?


    Qi Han has never been such a careless person.


    He Ming suddenly became nervous, afraid that something might happen at home. He remained calm and reached out to push open the door, trying to enter in a low voice. Soon, he heard intermittent voices coming from the study.


    He Ming recognized that it was Qi Han''s voice. Just as he calmed down, he realized that another voice was also very familiar. It was clearly Xu Le, who had been beaten up by him before!


    What did that kid come to their house for?


    Are you regretting what you did and planning to coax Qi Han back? Qi Han is too easy to soften his heart, even willing to let him in!


    He Ming felt his teeth turning sour, and he planned to hit Xu Le again. However, when he walked to the door of the study, he heard Qi Han say, "It''s getting late. You should go home early."


    "Is that guy coming back in the middle of the night again tonight?" Xu Le continued in his gentle tone, "I heard his ex boyfriend has recently returned, maybe..."


    "You''re right, it''s just an ex boyfriend."


    "But He Ming doesn''t seem to be a determined person, perhaps he will be shaken by this."


    Qi Han smiled and said, "You have prejudice against him."


    "Who says he always hurts your heart? It''s been so many years, do you have to do it with him? Even if you''re gay, it doesn''t matter. No matter what type of man you like, I can introduce him to you." Xu Le, who has always been gentle, said with an excited tone, "Brother, forget about him."

 Chapter 24

    Qi Han answered something later, but He Ming didn''t hear it at all. Only the words spoken by Xu Le echoed back and forth in his mind.


    How does Xu Le address him?


    Brother?!


    What is the relationship between the two of them?


    Former lover? Or... a biological brother?


    He Ming has some difficulty breathing and doesn''t understand what happened, or is he too drunk and now everything is just an illusion?


    He remembered the scene a few months ago when Qi Han suddenly proposed to end the relationship, remembered the appearance of Xu Le, remembered the girl who had a blind date with Xu Le, and remembered Qi Han''s various performances since then... How could these be fake?


    If Xu Le had never been in love with Qi Han.


    If everything is just a scam.


    That would be too scary.


    He Ming was shivering all over, unable to imagine it at all.


    The only way to find out the truth now is to push open the door in front of you. He has a resilient personality and is confident that he can handle any difficulties he encounters, but when his fingers touch the door panel, he trembles uncontrollably. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the door with great determination.


    As soon as the door opened, both people in the study froze.


    Xu Le let out a stunned exclamation, looking very ridiculous.


    Qi Han didn''t say a word, but his face quickly turned pale. Many emotions flashed through his black eyes, and he fixed his gaze on him.


    The room was almost eerily quiet.


    After a while, Xu Le finally regained his senses and stuttered, "When did you come?"


    He Ming opened his mouth and realized that the voice was no longer his own: "It''s neither early nor late, enough to hear what I should know."


    Xu Le''s face changed and he looked at Qi Han as if seeking help, shouting, "Brother..."


    Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.


    Then he realized that he had made a mistake and suddenly closed his mouth.


    Qi Han was probably the calmest person in the room. He waved his hand and his expression was no different from usual: "I had already called you back, why are you just unwilling to listen? If you don''t leave, Auntie will call and scold me."


    Xu Le felt a bit aggrieved and nervously looked at Qi Han, then turned to look at He Ming and whispered, "Brother, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have spoken casually..."


    "I shouldn''t have implicated you," Qi Han patted Xu Le''s shoulder, with a hint of indulgence in his eyes, as if he were an older brother. "You don''t have to think about anything, just go home obediently, be careful on the way."


    As he spoke, he escorted Xu Le out of the house.


    Then he turned around to face He Ming, still with a calm and composed attitude, and asked softly, "Why did you come back so early? Are you drunk? Do you want me to make some sobering soup?"


    He Ming can hardly admire his abilities.


    How could this person behave so calmly when a big secret has just been exposed?


    He is not an irrational person, but when faced with opponents like Qi Han, he couldn''t hold his breath and said, "Xu Le is your younger brother?"


    "Cousin," Qi Han answered very confidently, without any intention of concealing anything.


    "So he''s not your romantic partner at all, you two teamed up to deceive me?"


    "This matter has nothing to do with him, it''s all my own idea. He just favors my brother too much and promised to help me."


    "When did this scam start? Everything that happened from beginning to end was arranged by you?"


    Qi Han pondered for a moment and replied, "Since I broke up with you. However, seeing Xu Le dating a girl at the restaurant was purely accidental. I didn''t know he had already made a girlfriend."


    For the others, he confessed without hesitation.


    He made full use of every opportunity and gradually lured He Ming into the game.


    Qin Yuntian was right. He knew He Ming too well, knew he would be jealous, knew he would regret, knew he would pursue him again, knew his heart... had long been lost in him.


    And what about He Ming? He knew nothing about Qi Han.


    No, perhaps we shouldn''t call him Qi Hancai.


    Although He Ming was angry, he immediately understood another thing and fixed his eyes on him, asking, "Are you Lu Feiyun?"


    Qi Han''s ambiguous answer: "I have indeed used this name."


    "Is that my classmate from high school?"


    Qi Han avoided this question and looked at the wall clock, saying, "Aren''t you tired of standing? Let''s sit on the sofa for a while."


    As he spoke, he walked to the sofa and sat down comfortably.


    If it weren''t for his calm demeanor, He Ming''s anger might have calmed down a bit, but now it''s on the verge of exploding, his chest heaving violently, even his fist clenched tightly.


    He Ming can now confirm Qi Han''s identity, but he still has some doubts. If he and Lu Feiyun are really the same person, how could he not recognize them? Although he doesn''t have an unforgettable memory and is somewhat confused about Lu Feiyun''s appearance, he is not yet so confused.


    Perhaps


    He stared at Qi Han without hesitation, and suddenly a thought flashed through his heart. He blurted out, "Did you have a plastic surgery?"


    Qi Han tilted his head and smiled slightly.


    "A little bit, only a few small places moved." His fingers slid over the corner of his eyes, still smiling politely and naturally in a light and natural tone. "Although I''ve suffered some hardships, this way, it''s easy to become the way you like, isn''t it?"

 Chapter 25

    He Ming only felt a chill on his spine.


    He never expected that Qi Han''s scheming would be so heavy.


    No wonder he said he looked like Qin Yuntian, he had already figured out He Ming''s preferences early in the morning! So, their meeting back then was by no means accidental.


    Everything is under Qi Han''s control.


    And He Ming was deeply involved, only now did he know the truth.


    Imagine someone who knows all about you, but pretends to know nothing about you, approaches you with great care, and uses all kinds of means to deceive your heart... Why doesn''t it make people feel scared?


    Especially Qi Han had long known that Qin Yuntian was his former lover, but he pretended to be magnanimous and didn''t ask anything, just waiting for him to confess his feelings out of guilt. Just thinking of all the love for Qi Han at that time made He Ming nauseous.


    How much determination did he make to open his heart and love again.


    What is the result? But only in exchange for hypocrisy.


    The person who shares the same bed with oneself has such a terrifying face!


    He Ming''s ears were buzzing and he couldn''t make a sound. After a long time, he asked, "Why did you do this?"


    "Yeah, why?" Qi Han curved his lips and asked himself, "Maybe it''s because I really want to get you."


    His face was very pale, and he was trapped in the soft sofa, as if he had no strength to stand up anymore.


    He Ming was surprised that he would still feel sorry for him at this moment, but quickly suppressed that emotion and said coldly, "Do you expect me to love you when you deceive me like this? What I like is Qi Han, not the illusion you created. Even if I have been tempted by you before, it''s just because I was deceived."


    After a pause, recalling Qi Han''s previous performances, I couldn''t help but add, "Your acting skills are truly amazing!"


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    Qi Han listened to the sarcastic words, but only smiled nonchalantly, "Oh, who in this world is not acting?"


    His righteous attitude completely angered He Ming.


    He Ming strode to the sofa and grabbed his collar, wishing he could punch him hard. But facing Qi Han''s pitch black eyes, his fists clenched and loosened again and again, unable to do anything. In the end, he just gritted his teeth and spat out a few words: "Lu Feiyun, you are really too scary."


    After finishing speaking, he rubbed his forehead in almost pain and turned around to enter the bedroom.


    He only went in for a while, packed a few personal belongings, and quickly walked out. He didn''t look at Qi Han sitting on the sofa and walked straight to the door.


    When he reached out and opened the door, Qi Han finally asked, "Are you leaving?"


    "I can''t live with you anymore," he warned coldly, feeling that his words were not harsh enough. "You better not appear in front of me again in the future."


    Qi Han paused for a moment, his voice still soft and very gentle: "It''s getting late, be careful on the way."


    Then he remained silent.


    It seemed as if he had exhausted all his strength with just such a short sentence.


    He Ming felt a twinge in his heart, constantly telling himself not to turn back, and finally stepped out of the door with his foot raised.


    Qi Han sat on the sofa staring at him, watching the silhouette step out of the door and the door being slammed shut heavily. With a loud bang, he left a piercing echo in the empty house.


    He reached out to touch his cigarette, thinking in confusion that he shouldn''t have bought such a big house. When turning on the lighter, his fingers trembled violently and he had to hold it tightly with his other hand.


    The cigarette that had just been taken out slipped off my fingertips and fell to the ground in one fell swoop.


    He didn''t even have the strength to bend down to pick it up, he just thought, what''s so remarkable? It''s just a heartbreak.


    It''s not the first time... watching He Ming leave with his back to him like this


    In the past, at school, his gaze always followed the person''s back, hoping that he could look back. Later, he changed his name and appeared in front of He Ming in a different capacity, trying his best to climb onto his bed.


    But it''s useless.


    Even if he becomes the person he likes, it''s useless. That person is still as ruthless as before, and every time they fall in love, he turns around and leaves without looking back. He is not a determined person, he only became reckless for the sake of He Ming. Whether by any means or by all means, it''s all about getting that person.


    But in the end, it was all in vain.


    Those open and sincere hugs, those gentle and affectionate kisses, those words that rub against each other''s ears and hair, those lingering love... still remain in vain.


    Qi Han''s body spasmed and his chest was suffocating, but he still struggled to bend down and pick up the previous cigarette. After being lit, white smoke suddenly rushed up, making his eyes blurry.


    He raised his hand and touched it, only to find that his face was damp and cool, already filled with tears.


    How did he expect it?


    At the age of 28, Qi Han, like Lu Feiyun at the age of 18, would be heartbroken for the same person.

 Chapter 26

    The bar is bustling with people and the music is noisy.


    He Ming sat in the darkest corner of the bar, sipping the strong liquor in his glass. He didn''t drink a lot today, but his mind remained clear and there was no drunkenness at all.


    In fact, he comes here to drink almost every night.


    But recently, he don''t know what''s wrong with alcohol. It doesn''t even have the effect of numbing the nerves. No matter how much alcohol he drinks, whether he''s drunk or spinning around, someone''s face always pops out of his heart unexpectedly.


    He has always had a decisive and never dragging his feet, but this time he tried everything he could to get that guy out of his mind. Unless busy to the point of darkness, just stop and take a break, and he will find himself missing  Qi Han.


    For example... like now.


    He Ming rubbed his hair irritably, refusing to admit that he was thinking about Qi Han. He looked up and drank the remaining wine in his glass in one breath. Perhaps due to drinking too quickly, he quickly started coughing.


    The bartender, who was already familiar with him, quickly walked over to show his concern and said, "Are you okay?"


    He Ming waved his hand and said, "Give me another glass."


    "You drank too much, haven''t you been in a bad mood these days?"


    He Ming remained silent, only furrowing his brow in displeasure.


    The bartender had no choice but to pour him another glass of wine and say, "To be honest, if I didn''t understand your personality, I really thought you were..."


    "What is it?"


    "... got dumped by someone."


    He Ming was taken aback and immediately clenched the cup in his hand, staring coldly at the bartender.


    His stern face was quite terrifying, but the other person was not afraid at all. He still smiled and joked, "It''s really similar. Every night, he comes here to drown his sorrows with alcohol, and when someone comes up to chat him up, you just ignore him. In fact, there are several people tonight who really suit your taste."


    "Don''t mention that to me!"


    When it comes to his preferences, He Ming gets annoyed. Qi Han just figured out his taste and deliberately approached him based on his weaknesses... tsk! Okay, why does he think of Qi Han again?


    He Ming was very angry in his heart. Drinking alcohol was of no use anyway. After pouring the last glass of wine into his mouth, he got up to settle the bill and turned his head to walk towards the entrance of the bar.


    He don''t know if it was because he was a bit drunk or absent-minded. As he was about to walk to the door, he was hit hard by someone and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, someone helped him from the side and whispered in his ear, "I''m sorry, my girlfriend has a bit of a temper."


    This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    He Ming looked up and saw that the woman who had just bumped into him looked like a woman. He casually asked, "Aren''t you chasing after him?"


    "Haha," the person next to him chuckled dryly and said, "Women, aren''t they all like this? They argue incessantly when it starts, just go and soothe her tomorrow."


    At this point, he suddenly stopped for a moment and said in surprise, "Hey? Manager He, it turns out it''s you!"


    He Ming was indeed drunk and his reaction was much slower than usual. He stared at the person next to him for a while before recognizing him and said, "Are you Director Lin from Jiayang?"


    "I didn''t expect to meet you here. It''s such a coincidence. I''ve been thinking of inviting you out for a meal these past few days."


    "You''re too polite."


    He Ming spoke politely, but the wine immediately woke up and his heart was in chaos.


    The handsome man in front of me is named Lin Huan, who is a few years older than him and has strong work ability. He has a good reputation in the industry. The only downside is that he has a great appearance and naturally becomes promiscuous. Changing girlfriends is faster than changing fashion.


    Of course, these gossip have nothing to do with him. The point is that this person happens to be Qi Han''s immediate superior.


    He Ming was extremely regretful for talking to him. He would rather fall to the ground than have any relationship with Qi Han. But now it''s too late to escape. Lin Huan is known for his love of making friends, and immediately enthusiastically pulled him into the bar, saying, "Come on, let''s have a drink together."


    "No, today..."


    "It''s still quite early, wouldn''t Manager He not give me this face?"


    He Ming couldn''t refuse his words.


    Although their two companies are competitors, they are in the same mall, looking down but not looking up. They always need to establish a good relationship. He Ming is never careless in his work, so at this moment, he can only sit down with Lin Huan as a business entertainment.


    After ordering wine, the two chatted aimlessly about many topics.


    Lin Huan was originally a talkative person, and coupled with his constant admiration for He Ming, he chatted very enthusiastically.


    He Ming, however, suffered greatly.


    He appeared cold on the surface, occasionally responding with a few words, but in reality, he didn''t listen to anything. All his strength was used to suppress his voice and prevent him from mentioning Qi Han''s name.


    He''s not crazy, why does he want to know about Qi Han''s recent situation?


    Whether that guy has undergone plastic surgery again or has fallen in love with someone else, it has nothing to do with him!


    He has already said that he will never see him again.


    Absolutely, no!


    Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lin Huan say intermittently, "With such a capable helper like you, your boss has saved a lot of trouble, right?"


    Out of courtesy, He Ming could only respond with one sentence: "You flattered me."


    "What I''m saying is all true. Although others say you''re a workaholic and too unfriendly, I know you have real skills." Lin Huan took a big sip of wine and gradually became a bit drunk, sighing, "Alas, it''s a pity that I don''t have such good luck. It''s not easy to cultivate someone under my hands. I was just thinking about reusing him, but he token leave without delay."


    He Ming''s heart tightened and he couldn''t help but ask, "Who?"


    "Just Xiao Qi, you should also know him, right?"


    Upon hearing this, He Ming could no longer control himself and recited the name that swirled in his heart: "Has Qi Han resigned?"


    "Besides, he left this city half a month ago." Lin Huan sighed a few more times, obviously still feeling regretful. "Xiao Qi is a rare talent who is both intelligent and eager to learn. He is just too narrow-minded. According to his performance, he could have been promoted two years earlier, but his superiors wanted to transfer him to a branch in another city, but he refused to go. He only said that the person he likes is here and he will never leave."


    He Ming''s heart, which had just been lifted up, slowly sank and he asked, "So why is he leaving now?"


    "Who knows? Either the other person has already married, or he has given up his own thoughts."

 Chapter 27

    He... has already given up?


    That''s right, isn''t all love in this world like this?


    When love comes and goes, once separated, it gradually fades over time, and no one can live without it.


    Besides, what does he want Qi Han''s love for?


    The kind of love built on false lies only makes people afraid.


    He Ming nodded to himself, his expression not changing much, but his back felt cold and hot, unable to describe what he felt. He thought he must be drunk, that''s why he let his thoughts go and imagined where Qi Han would be now.


    The world is so big, where is he going to find him?


    Even in his dreams, he vaguely saw the figure of the person sitting by the bedside smoking. Amidst the swirling smoke, Qi Han''s pitch black eyes were silent and lonely, making one feel heartbroken. He almost forgot the estrangement between the two of them and immediately rushed forward, but with a stretch of his hands, he only embraced a void.


    "Qi Han -"


    He Ming woke up using this name, and the emptiness in his dream still lingered. He stared at the snow-white ceiling for a long time before gradually regaining his senses.


    He have a severe headache.


    He knew it was a symptom of a hangover, but he didn''t understand how he got home and lay in bed. His last memory still lingered in the scene of drinking with Lin Huan last night.


    What happened later?


    Has he passed out drunk? Who sent him home?


    He Ming pressed his sore forehead and just wanted to get out of bed when someone pushed the door open. Qin Yuntian came in with a bowl of hot Congee and smiled, "Wake up?"


    He Ming couldn''t conceal his surprise and said, "Why are you at my house?"


    "Last night, you got drunk at the bar. Director Lin from Jiayang called me and I went to pick you up."


    "I see."


    "Hello," Qin Yuntian kicked the edge of the bed and said, "is this your attitude towards someone who has worked hard to take care of you all night?"


    He Ming''s head was still hurting, so he had to give a perfunctory thank you.


    Qin Yuntian was satisfied and handed the bowl in his hand to him, saying, "I guess you might be hungry when you wake up, so you ordered takeout. You can make do with it."


    It was a bowl of ordinary white porridge with a little minced meat sprinkled on it.


    He Ming leaned against the bedside and took a few bites, then quickly frowned and put the bowl aside.

    "What''s wrong? It''s not delicious?"


    "Not to my taste."


    In fact, Congee tastes good, but it''s not the kind he likes. If it''s cooked by Qi Han... stop! Why does he think of that person again? When can he completely forget him?


    He Ming hates his muddy and watery personality, but he always remembers the expression on Qi Han''s face in his dreams.


    Perhaps his face was too ugly, Qin Yuntian couldn''t help but complain, "You''re such a difficult guy to serve. I don''t know how so many people like you? Hey, having a good face is just taking advantage. Remember before..."


    When He Ming heard him mention the past, his heart couldn''t help but move. Suddenly, he asked, "How much do you remember from the past?"


    "Don''t worry, my memory is very good. I remember all the bad things you did clearly."


    He Ming was too lazy to argue with him and just asked, "Do you remember our high school classmate named Lu Feiyun?"


    When he said that name, his heart was beating extremely fast, but Qin Yuntian answered even faster: "Of course."


    This natural attitude surprised He Ming and he asked, "Do you really remember him? Why?"


    "Ah? Because he''s very special," Qin Yuntian pondered for a moment and said, "He has a gloomy personality, doesn''t like to talk, and rarely attends class activities. Maybe he''s sick? It''s said that he committed suicide several times before transferring to our school."


    He Ming''s heart tightened as he could not match Qi Han''s account just by listening to this description. "How come I have never heard of these things before?"


    "You have always been above your expectations, how could you put others in your shoes? However, other classmates don''t like to get close to him, only you are quite casual. Sometimes when there is a shortage of people in group activities, you will also bring him into our group."


    He Ming was taken aback, obviously having no impression of it at all.


    Qin Yuntian sighed and said, "You really don''t remember. I''m sure you also forgot... how did you bully others?"


    He Ming suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Do I have one?"


    "Of course, relying on your good looks has hurt many people''s hearts. That person surnamed Lu seems to quite like you. For a period of time, he often secretly watched you, helped you with your duty, copied homework, and so on. Later, he even said he wanted to be friends with you? You found him annoying, so you found the little thug from the next class to teach him a lesson."


    He Ming was greatly surprised.


    He used to have a bad temper, but would he really go this far?


    "Of course, you were just a high school student back then. Throwing back the things someone gave you, or mocking him in front of the whole class, could only be considered an ordinary prank, but once..."


    What?


    Is there anything else?


    Sweat seeped out of He Ming''s palm, but Qin Yuntian was completely unaware, Continuing, he said, "I remember it was Christmas in his third year of high school, right? Although Lu Feiyun was beaten black and blue by the neighbor class''s A Liang, he still likes to follow you as he used to when he comes back to school after his injury is healed. A Liang found it interesting and made a bet with you to arrange a meeting with him on Christmas night. The bet is to see how long he will wait for you at the agreed location."


    Regarding this memory, He Ming''s mind was still blank, so he had to ask in a stiff voice, "Did I agree?"


    "You love face so much, how could you possibly refuse? Anyway, you just need to write a note casually, and Lu Feiyun will be extremely happy. But that night, a group of us went to sing KTV and played all night, and we had already forgotten about the gambling agreement. It wasn''t until the next morning when we returned to school and passed by the place where you arranged to meet him..."


    "How''s it going?" He Ming felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth and nervously grabbed Qin Yuntian''s hand.


    "I saw Lu Feiyun still waiting there," Qin Yuntian looked out the window, as if recalling the scene of that morning, "It snowed at night, and his clothes were all wet. His hair was wet and pressed against his cheeks, with only one pair of bright eyes staring at you so firmly. You completely forgot about meeting him, didn''t even look at him, and walked directly past him. After taking a few steps, I couldn''t help but look back at him and found that he still maintained that posture, constantly looking at your back."


    At this point, Qin Yuntian shivered and said softly, "The look in his eyes at that time, no matter who saw it, will never be forgotten for a lifetime."

 Chapter 28

    This statement is somewhat exaggerated.


    But when He Ming tried to imagine, he couldn''t figure out what kind of mood it would be like to stand in the heavy snow waiting for him all night, and then watch Qi Han pass by hand with Qin Yuntian.


    He certainly did not commit heinous acts, but this kind of careless injury is the most painful. He is now mature and steady, but he cannot go back ten years to make up for the mistakes he made at that time.


    He Ming stared blankly ahead, without thinking about the kind of gaze described by Qin Yuntian. Just thinking about the lonely figure of Qi Han sitting at the bedside, his heart twisted uncontrollably.


    Did Qi Han already love him at that time?


    Later, in order to love him, Qi Han put in even more effort, willing to change his appearance and personality, and once again came to his side.


    He only hates his deception, but has never thought about the reasons behind it. If they could love each other simply, who would be willing to go around such a big circle?


    He Ming found that he had begun to defend Qi Han. He became more upset and almost knocked over the porridge bowl beside him with a wave of his hand.


    Qin Yuntian was startled and woke up from his memories. He asked, "Are you okay? Shouldn''t it be a discovery of conscience and regret? Unfortunately, Lu Feiyun transferred to another school and no one knows his whereabouts. By the way, why did you ask him for no reason?"


    He Ming closed his eyes, his heart filled with the shadow of Qi Han, and he had no strength to answer him.


    Fortunately, Qin Yuntian had long been accustomed to his strange temper, and after chatting a few more words, he said goodbye and left.


    He Ming thought he must have been critically ill, lying at home on vacation doing nothing, just thinking about Qi Han, and then being tormented by that kind of longing almost to the point of madness.


    When he couldn''t bear it anymore, he opened his phone and pressed Qi Han''s number, quickly hanging up before the call was answered. But within an hour, this foolish behavior will be repeated again.


    After repeating this several times, when the phone was truly connected and the sweet and beautiful voice of "the number no longer exists" came from the other side, He Ming suddenly felt empty in his heart.


    That''s right, he remembers Lin Huan saying that Qi Han had already left this city half a month ago. He didn''t expect him to not only resign, but also change his phone number.


    He walked so thoroughly, he wonder where Qi Han will go?


    It''s okay for He Ming not to think about this matter, but once he thinks about it seriously, he feels his chest tightness and flustered. He certainly knows Qi Han''s ability, even if he is alone outside, he can take care of himself. Even half a month is enough for him to find another lover. But these insignificant things happened to disturb his heart. When he regained consciousness, he had already called Lin Huan.


    Lin Huan was still so enthusiastic. As soon as he came up, he asked about his health and whether he slept well last night. He Ming had to endure a few pleasantries and went around for a long time before asking about Qi Han''s whereabouts. But the result left him quite disappointed. Lin Huan complained a lot but knew nothing about Qi Han''s whereabouts.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Since He Ming had this idea, he could no longer suppress it. After hanging up the phone, he dialed Xu Le''s number instead. Fortunately, he once contacted Xu Le and still remembers the contact information of that guy. Others don''t know where Qi Han is going, so his younger brother should know, right?


    However, the relationship between He Ming and Xu Le is very delicate, and to this day there is still a hint of seeing each other as rivals in love. After making several phone calls, Xu Le only answered without knowing three words. He had no choice but to inquire about Xu Le''s workplace through his friends and personally went to block people after work.


    Xu Le just went to the nearby coffee shop with him and sat for a while.


    After all, Xu Le was still young, and all his thoughts were reflected on his face. When he sat across from He Ming, the words "I hate you" were clearly written on his face.


    He Ming also felt the same way, so he was too lazy to be polite to him and asked directly, "Where did Qi Han go?"


    "I''ve said it many times, I don''t know."


    "How can I contact him?"


    I don''t know


    "Aren''t you his cousin?"


    "Yeah, it''s just my younger brother," Xu Le glanced at He Ming and said with a hint of mockery, "it''s not my boyfriend."


    He Ming suffocated for a moment, but he choked so hard that he couldn''t speak.


    Xu Le is not someone who loves to hold grudges. Seeing him like this, his temper finally calmed down a bit and he said, "Actually, I want to know his current situation more than you do."


    "He...?"


    "He hasn''t contacted me since half a month ago. His parents are both overseas, so it can be said that no one knows where he went so far."


    He Ming''s face changed and he couldn''t help but clench his fist.


    Xu Le glanced at him and said, "Don''t worry, he won''t have any accidents because he doesn''t want his family to worry. No matter how much pain he has endured, let alone this?"


    As he spoke, his gaze fell on He Ming again and he said meaningfully, "In that regard, I really should thank you."


    "What?"


    Xu Le seemed hesitant and crossed his hands to support his chin. After a while, he murmured to himself, "Even if I tell you, it''s okay, isn''t it? When my brother was a child... he was once abducted by a stranger."


    He Ming''s eyelids twitched.


    "Although he was quickly rescued, there were traces of abuse on his body, and he was even more frightened psychologically. After that, for a long time, he refused to speak."


    He Ming suddenly remembered what Qin Yuntian had said and quickly asked, "Has he ever committed suicide?"


    Xu Le''s expression changed slightly and he sighed, "That was after entering high school. He was very afraid of contact with people at that time, and even if others just looked at him a little more, he would tremble with fear. It''s not so much suicide as to escape."


    "But his current personality..."


    "It''s like a completely different person from the past, isn''t it?" Xu Le smiled and said, "I was also surprised at the time. It was probably when my brother was in his third year of high school. Once, he stayed up all night and didn''t come back until the next morning. And as soon as he got home, he locked himself in his room and didn''t make any noise no matter how much he knocked on the door."


    "Did he... have an accident?" Although he knew that Qi Han was safe and sound later on, He Ming''s heart still tightened.


    Xu Le shook his head, said: No, no one knows what he did in the room, but after that, he seemed like a different person. Of course, he was still afraid of socializing with others, but the more he was afraid of something, the more he forced himself to face it. He changed schools, tried to adapt to the new environment, put on the toughest smile, stuttered when talking to his classmates, even though he was so scared that he wanted to snatch the door and run away. People who have not experienced it may never understand His fear, every time he comes into contact with others, is a torture for him. For a while, he laughed so hard outside that his face froze. As soon as he got home, he hid in the restroom and vomited. He vomited everything in his stomach and kept retching against the wall... "


    He Ming is a bit out of breath.


    Xu Le seemed to also remember those past events, paused for a while before continuing, "I was still young at that time, so I asked him why he worked so hard. Guess what he said?"


    "He said," Xu Le''s tone changed and he suddenly imitated Qi Han''s tone, saying word by word, "Only in this way will He Ming look back at me."

 Chapter 29

    As he was about to finish work, raindrops floated in the sky.


    He Ming was already in a bad mood, and seeing the gloomy sky made him increasingly feel a headache. But he persisted in reading all the documents before packing up his things and slowly walking out of the office building.


    Due to the rainy and weekend weather, the road conditions are very poor, and the cars are constantly running and blocking for half a day.


    He Ming used to love rain very much.


    Especially on that day, he went to the station with an umbrella to pick up Qi Han and went home. When he saw the smile on his face that instantly appeared on his face, he simply wished the rain would fall like this every day.


    That''s right, he no longer refuses to think of Qi Han.


    He admitted that he was missing him.


    Uncontrollable, involuntary, and uncontrollable... If it weren''t for longing, how could his heart tingle slightly?


    But he never found Qi Han again.


    In the first month, he thought Qi Han would definitely appear.


    In the second month, he went crazy searching for Qi Han. He searched for colleagues, friends, family, and anyone he could find, especially Xu Le, who was tormented by his phone call.


    In the third month, his mood gradually calmed down again. He didn''t mention the name Qi Han to anyone again, but silently moved into Qi Han''s former room and lived alone in the place full of memories for the two of them.


    In the quiet of the night, he couldn''t help but imagine where Qi Han had gone and what kind of life he was living now?


    Is he still so persistent, willing to change himself for love?


    Has the tenderness that once made him deeply attached become exclusive to another person?


    ... just because he didn''t look back.


    When he left this room feeling angry that day, if he could turn back and look up, he could see the eyes that had been chasing him all along.


    Love is such a wonderful thing. When you get it, you don''t cherish it. When you truly lose it, you can''t forget it, even your heart hurts.


    He Ming raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Seeing one red light after another, his mood became even more frustrated. Coincidentally, the phone rang at this moment. He took out his phone and found out that it was Qin Yuntian calling.


    "Handsome guy," Qin Yuntian''s voice remained lively, "should we come out and drink?"


    The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "I haven''t had dinner yet."


    "Overtime so late again? You''re not taking good care of your health."


    "Well, so I quit drinking."


    "Can''t you? You drank so badly a few months ago. It''s a pity. I was planning to introduce you to a friend."


    "Thank you very much for your kindness," He Ming said when he saw the green light coming on, "I''m driving now, we''ll talk again next time."


    Without waiting for the other person to say goodbye, he cut off the phone first.


    After the car started, he felt a daze in his heart and naturally thought of Qi Han again.


    This is a normal phenomenon.


    He thought that people who have just broken up in love are like this, gradually forgetting that there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome. Besides, even if Qi Han comes back, what can he do? Can he tolerate his lies? Can he forgive his cruelty? There are still so many obstacles between the two.


    So, it''s better not to see.


    Because he can''t see him, he might as well lie to himself and say that it''s better not to see it.


    He Ming was too distracted this time. When the car in front suddenly came to a stop, he slowed down a bit before stepping on the brake. Just a brief moment of hesitation, his car collided fiercely with inertia.


    "Bang!"


    He heard a loud noise in his ear, and the whole world seemed to turn upside down. His forehead hit something, and his eyes were in darkness. Then, viscous liquid flowed down his cheeks.


    Strangely, his mind was unusually clear.


    He knows he was in a car accident, but he doesn''t know if the injury is severe or if there is a risk to his life.


    It seems that those are not important.


    He was just thinking intermittently, where is Qi Han now? He should go all out to find him, whether it''s the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea. He should embrace that lonely figure in his arms and never let it go again.


    Forever.


    He Ming''s consciousness has a few seconds of blank space.


    Then everything gradually recovered, and his ears could hear all kinds of noisy noises again. Someone pulled him out of the car, and the sound of the ambulance whining from far to near. He went through a blurry period, looking coldly at the people and things around him as if everything had nothing to do with him, until he entered the hospital and finally felt some authenticity.


    It''s a series of car accidents.


    Fortunately, there were no casualties, and he was unfortunately affected, but it was only a scratch on the forehead. Additionally, there may have been a slight concussion. The doctor suggested hospitalization and observation for two days.


    After He Ming treated his wound, he did not inform his family and friends about this matter. Only Qin Yuntian happened to make a phone call to urge him to go to the bar. The music on the other end of the phone was so loud that Qin Yuntian was obviously already having fun. Upon hearing the news of the car accident, he immediately expressed his concern.


    He Ming thought it was just a small matter and refused his offer to come to the hospital to visit, but he still listened to his nagging for a while before hanging up the phone.


    Then wait for the hospitalization procedures to be completed.


    He Ming sat alone on a chair in the hospital lobby, watching strangers passing by in front of him, feeling empty in his heart. For a period of time, he had nothing to think about except for Qi Han.


    Perhaps he was too focused, or it could be the aftermath of a car accident where he suddenly had an illusion in front of him.


    He saw Qi Han hurriedly running in from the hospital gate.


    It was raining heavily outside, and Qi Han didn''t take an umbrella. His whole body was soaked, and his black hair was wet and pressed against his cheek, making his face look a bit pale. His expression was very flustered, his gaze searched around the crowd, and finally met his four eyes, which suddenly lit up.


    All the sounds around disappeared.


    Qi Han walked towards him step by step, splashing water everywhere.


    When he was only a few steps away, Qi Han seemed to suddenly be unable to walk. He raised his hand and supported the wall, gasping for breath. His black eyes looked straight at him, and his voice trembled slightly: "I heard you had a car accident."

 Chapter 30

    He Ming stood up dumbfounded, unsure whether it was a real person or an illusion. After a while, he said, "It''s just a scratch."


    "Well, I can see it." Qi Han closed his eyes and rubbed his completely wet black hair. Whether it was frustration or some other emotion, he felt like he had lost his strength and fell softly down the wall.


    Fortunately, He Ming was quick witted and immediately reached out to grab his waist.


    The body embraced in his arms is very warm.


    He Ming could hardly distinguish between a dream and a wake-up call, until he felt Qi Han''s shoulders tremble. He quickly took off his suit and draped it over him, asking, "How are you?"


    Qi Han waved his hand, his hair still dripping, and he replied softly, "It''s okay, I ran too fast just now."


    "Where did you come from?"


    Qi Han was panting heavily and couldn''t even make a sound.


    He Ming quickly helped him sit down on the chair and went to the side to pour him a glass of water.


    After finishing his drink, Qi Han finally regained his composure and asked hoarsely, "Do you want to be hospitalized?"


    "Well, the doctor said there may be a slight concussion that needs to be observed in the hospital." After a pause, he asked, "How do you know about my car accident?"


    Except for Qin Yuntian, he did not tell anyone about this matter.


    Sure enough, Qi Han answered, "Mr. Qin informed me."


    "He?" He Ming squinted his eyes, feeling a bit strange. "Didn''t you change your phone number? How did he contact you?"


    "I have been staying in this city for the past six months, and my relationship with Mr. Qin is also good. In fact, if you go to the bar today, you will meet me." Qi Han lowered his head and looked at the water glass, his tone gradually calmed down. "He wants to introduce you to the new friend you know... he is the person I like now."


    He Ming settled there for a moment.


    Is it indeed the aftermath of a car accident?


    He felt a buzzing sound in his ears, unable to hear what Qi Han was saying.


    Qi Han struggled for a long time before lifting his head to look at He Ming and saying, "This time is serious, and there is absolutely no intention of deceiving you, so you don''t have to worry about any traps. It may be difficult at first, but if you are truly determined to try, it is not difficult to forget someone."

    He Ming clearly understood what he was saying, but couldn''t understand the meaning for a moment. He only heard his own voice ask, "Why did you come over tonight?"


    Qi Han reached into his pocket to touch his cigarette, only to find that it was also soaked in water. He could only take a sniff, as if trying to suppress some emotion: "When I heard the news of your car accident, my mind was blank. When I came to my senses, I had already run into the hospital. If I had known it was just a scratch, I shouldn''t have appeared."


    "But since you''re here, let me accompany you for the night. I happen to have something to say to you in person," he said with a relaxed smile, "and I''ve run so hard that my legs are weak and I don''t have the strength to go home anymore."


    He Ming couldn''t refuse and nodded, "I''ll go handle the hospitalization procedures."


    Taking advantage of He Ming''s queuing time, Qi Han went to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities and also changed his wet clothes. After everything is done, it''s almost time to go to bed.


    Fortunately, the conditions in the ward were good, and only He Ming lived alone, so Qi Han set up a bed to sleep next to him.


    Just two people have mixed feelings in their hearts, how can they feel drowsy?


    After tossing and turning on the hospital bed for a long time, He Ming finally asked, "What do you have to say to me?"


    Qi Han, on the other hand, lay there motionless and said softly, "I still owe you an apology. No matter what the reason was, I shouldn''t have deceived you in the beginning. You''re right, based on a lie, it''s just my own extravagant hope. How could it be true love?"


    "Qi Han..."


    "And changing oneself for the sake of love is indeed too foolish, it''s not as easy as it is now."


    Although He Ming had a thousand words to say, he couldn''t speak at this moment and just asked, "What kind of person do you like now?"


    Qi Han thought for a moment and his tone became gentle: "He is very tall and doesn''t like to talk. He looks and has a personality similar to you..."


    Speaking of which, he  found it ridiculous and chuckled softly.


    In the darkness, his eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at Lao He Ming with an incredibly gentle expression, saying, "Do you know? You were once all my dream."


    He Ming repeated those two words carefully: "Once?"


    "Yeah, no matter how beautiful a dream is, it will eventually wake up. And when it''s clear, it''s so painful. So that day, sitting alone on the sofa, I said to myself, ''I''ll never have that kind of dream again.''"


    "Are you staying in this city and cutting off contact with everyone you know to avoid me?"


    "I don''t plan to hide for a lifetime, I just want to see you again after I''ve sorted out my relationship. For example, like today, even if I meet, I can still laugh and talk like an ordinary friend."


    He Ming suddenly fell silent.


    Qi Han lay next to him, just an arm''s throw away. He reached out and could hold the person in his arms. When a car accident occurred, all he was thinking about was Qi Han. Why did he hesitate when he actually met?


    Is it because in Qi Han''s eyes, there is no expression of love?


    As he once said to Qin Yuntian, love will gradually fade away with time. If you miss it, you will miss it and never look back.


    He Ming didn''t know where the bitterness in his mouth came from.


    After a while, he couldn''t help but ask, "Is that person... treating you well?"


    "We haven''t known each other for long, and currently we just have mutual feelings. We haven''t reached that stage yet."


    "Don''t be foolish enough to secretly love others again."


    "Haha, I won''t, I''ll just say it this time," Qi Han smiled and said, "I''m really useless only in front of you. I won''t do this in the future."


    He murmured to himself, as if telling He Ming, more like convincing himself, "... never again."


    He Ming didn''t know how he fell asleep that night.


    The wound on his forehead was painful and he hugged Qi Han countless times in his dream, but after waking up, they were still separated by an arm.

 Chapter 31

    After Qi Han woke up, he helped him buy breakfast and accompanied him for a physical examination. The doctor said everything was normal and he could be discharged at any time. But He Ming felt like he was going crazy.


    He didn''t understand how things could develop like this.


    He should hold Qi Han tightly and never let go of his hands again, instead of calmly packing up and saying goodbye to him at the hospital entrance.


    "Although it''s just a minor injury, why don''t you take a break these days?"


    "Hmm."


    "If you''re feeling unwell, find Mr. Qin to take care of you."


    "Okay."


    "Come out and play together when you have time."

    "No problem."


    He Ming responded insincerely, then turned around and walked in the completely opposite direction with Qi Han.


    One step, two steps, three steps


    He is getting further and further away from him.


    He Ming''s head hurt again, and he couldn''t help but wonder, why should he let go?


    Qi Han just has a new lover. He snatched it once before, why can''t he snatch it again? He should hold onto him and not let him go. If he struggles, close him with a door and lock him with a chain.


    Any method is fine, he can''t let him leave!


    He Ming''s chest roared, he suddenly stopped and quickly turned back. Then he saw Qi Han standing in place, quietly looking at him, his expression changing from shock to embarrassment, but the tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed.


    He Ming''s heart seemed to explode.


    Qi Han has always been waiting for him.


    But he only turned around now.


    He clenched his fist and hurried back, ignoring the crowds coming and going on the way. He reached out and hugged Qi Han, saying word for word, "You still like me."


    Qi Han did not refute, nor even struggle, but only asked, "Why do you have to turn back?"


    He gritted his lips hard, almost bleeding from biting, before finally giving up and getting close to He Ming''s cheek, whispering in his ear, "That''s right, I lied again. Life is so short, only a few decades, there''s no time to forget you."

 Chapter 32

    He Ming tightened his arms even tighter.


    He gasped for breath and used his maximum willpower to restrain himself from kissing Qi Han on the spot.


    After looking around, he grabbed Qi Han''s hand and walked to the roadside, stopped a taxi and sat inside.


    Qi Han''s hands were cold, and his expression was a bit dazed. He didn''t speak again.


    After He Ming reported the address, he also remained silent, just firmly holding Qi Han''s hand with such great force that it was almost painful.


    Qi Han tried to retract his hand, but was held tighter by He Ming. He shouted loudly, "Don''t move!"


    "Don''t move around." He Ming also knew his tone was too bad, but no matter how relaxed he was, his voice was very stiff. "Now... I don''t know what I''m going to do."


    Qi Han stopped moving as expected, his eyes slowly drooping and his appearance was very gentle. However, He Ming felt his heart skip a beat and couldn''t calm it down. He hated this damn traffic situation for the first time.


    Fortunately, the hospital was not far from his home. After staying for more than twenty minutes, he finally arrived at his destination.


    He Ming threw the money away and ran upstairs with Qi Han. Qi Han was taken aback when he saw that it was his former residence. Before he could even express his doubts, He Ming opened the door and dragged him in, feeling a bit rude. Immediately after, it was pressed against the door panel.


    Qi Han looked up at the familiar ceiling, allowing He Ming to unbutton his shirt and passionately kiss him, gradually arousing the hidden desire inside his body.


    His body is scorching hot as fire.


    He Ming was tightly attached to him, biting his lips and separating his legs with his knees. A sturdy object squeezed between his legs, rubbed around a few times, and then forcefully pushed into his dry back hole.


    "Wu -" Qi Han shouted out in pain, but soon opened his mouth and bit his hand, suppressing all the sounds.


    Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    "Does it hurt?" He Ming''s face was also slightly twisted, obviously uncomfortable, but he couldn''t suppress the restlessness in his heart and was eager to enter Qi Han.


    Qi Han shook his head and slowly smiled, actively raising his waist to facilitate his intrusion. He Ming panted heavily and kissed Qi Han even harder, thrusting his lower body back and forth inside him, plundering everything to his heart''s content.


    Qi Han trembled all over, his legs also twitched slightly, but he still wrapped his waist around He Ming and gently responded to his kiss.


    "Pop! Pop! Pop!"


    With He Ming''s intense thrusting, the door panel also shook gently. Qi Han remained quiet from beginning to end, until He Ming let out steam in his body, and his whole body slid down softly, shouting absentmindedly, "He Ming, I like you..."


    He Ming''s heart skipped a beat, feeling restless for a moment, and he went into the room to ask him again.


    By the time the enthusiasm had truly subsided, both of them were already exhausted.


    He Ming couldn''t bear to sleep, so he hugged Qi Han tightly with both hands. He lowered his head and kissed the corners of his eyes, asking, "Did it hurt? Sorry, I was too excited just now."


    Qi Han just shook his head, with a faint smile on his pale face.


    He Ming couldn''t help but kiss and kiss again, and said in a deep voice, "Break up with that person."


    "Hmm?"


    "No matter how many people you like, cut off all ties with them." He Ming took a heavy bite on his cheek and said, "Remember, you''re mine!"


    His domineering temper has not changed at all. Qi Han smiled and said, "Okay, it hasn''t developed to the level of social interaction, it''s just that I''m not very embarrassed about Mr. Qin."


    "What''s it to him?"


    "Mr. Qin introduced us to each other."


    "What?" He Ming almost jumped out of bed and gritted his teeth, "Does that guy have a grudge against me? Also, when did your relationship get so good?"


    "Mr. Qin and I get along very well," Qi Han half closed his eyes and said, "and we both love the same person.


    He Ming immediately corrected him, "He is in the past tense, you are in the present tense."


    Qi Han laughed heartily, but ended up laughing too hard and coughing instead.


    He Ming was busy helping him pass the time and asked, "Have you been smoking or have you been smoking very aggressively lately?"


    "... average," he replied, proving that there was indeed no restraint.


    He Ming restrained his hands, lowered his head to nibble on his lips, and quickly uttered two words: "Quit!"


    Qi Han smiled and joked, "Did you reveal your true nature so quickly?"


    "That''s right, even if you regret wanting to escape, it''s not too late now," He Ming slowly grasped his hand and said, "I don''t care about the past, but from now on, you must stay by my side."


    "What is this?"


    "The punishment for deceiving me in the past."


    "Haha," Qi Han couldn''t stop laughing, but his voice was a bit hoarse. "I really can''t wait for such punishment."


    After a moment of silence, He Ming suddenly turned over and pressed him down, staring into his eyes and asking, "Am I still your dream?"


    Qi Han reached out to touch He Ming''s handsome features, and his nostalgic gaze never changed. Then he grabbed his shoulders with both hands, gently kissed his lips, and said, "... forever.".

 Chapter 33

    "So what? Did you just reconcile like before?"


    In the dimly lit bar, Qin Yuntian gently swayed the fine wine in his glass, with an elegant posture as usual, but a slightly surprised expression on his face.


    "Hmm." He Ming took a shallow sip of his wine and answered very simply, "Since we can''t part ways no matter what, we''ll have to take a step back and compromise with each other."


    "Qi Han tried every means to deceive you, have you decided to write it off?"


    "That''s right."


    "Did Qi Han decide not to dwell on your previous ruthless behavior?"


    "Of course."


    "You are a perfect match," Qin Yuntian exclaimed in surprise, "Unfortunately, the person I introduced to Qi Han has good conditions in all aspects and their relationship has developed very well."


    He just didn''t mention it, and as soon as he did, He Ming became angry and said, "Where did I offend you? Why did you introduce a boyfriend to Qi Han?"


    Qin Yuntian replied innocently, "You moved out of Qi Han''s house yourself first, and you said you don''t want to see him again in the future. I can''t see him feeling lost all day, so I kindly introduced him."


    He Ming suffocated his chest and asked, "How was he doing in those six months?"


    "He is very active and participates in any activity. He has made many friends and always smiles in front of others." Qin Yuntian gestured and said, "But when he smiles, he looks even worse than not smiling."


    He Ming looked up and drank all the wine in his glass, frowning and saying, "He doesn''t like to interact with strangers."


    "Really? I can''t tell."


    He Ming didn''t say that Qi Han changed it for him, he just looked down at his watch and said, "I should probably go back."


    "So early?"


    "I promised Qi Han to go home before ten o''clock."


    "But it''s only 8:30 now, and it''s only a twenty minute drive from here to your house."


    He Ming had already stood up and said coldly, "I don''t like being late."


    Excuses!


    Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    Absolutely an excuse!


    "In a hurry to go back and accompany Qi Han, just say it directly. Why pretend to be serious..." Qin Yuntian murmured to himself, only then did He Ming''s eyes widen, and he wisely closed his mouth and waved goodbye to him.


    When he checked out of the bar, the street was still bustling with activity.


    He Mingjin remembered Qi Han''s instructions and stopped driving after drinking. He stopped at the roadside and took a taxi home.


    When he got home, it was just after 9 o''clock. Qi Han was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw him, he just smiled and said hello, still sitting still on the sofa, gently fanning an old magazine in the wind.


    He Ming felt a bit strange and after walking around the living room, he suddenly asked, "Did you smoke?"


    "Cough, cough," Qi Han almost choked, blinked his eyes, and immediately replied, "No."


    He Ming looked at him suspiciously and didn''t ask further. He just walked straight over to check the trash can.


    Qi Han immediately jumped off the sofa and hugged his waist from behind, muttering in a muffled voice, "Why not be so serious? Even the trash can needs to be flipped over."


    He didn''t admit it to himself like this.


    He Ming didn''t look back and asked coldly, "How many did you smoke?"


    "Just one piece."


    He Ming knew in his heart that he would definitely discount what he said at this moment, and sighed, "How many times have you said it? You smoke too hard, you must quit."


    "I know, but this kind of thing needs to be done slowly and cannot be achieved overnight."


    He Ming grabbed his hand and took a bite, saying, "From now on, for every cigarette you smoke, I''ll punish you in bed."


    Qi Han was almost laughed to death by him and said, "Then you really need to be too energetic to do it."


    He Ming thought it was wrong and quickly changed his mind, "Isn''t this cheaper for you? No, in the future, as long as you smoke, don''t think I''ll touch you again."


    This sentence has some effect.


    Qi Han let out a mournful cry, struggled for a while, and finally reluctantly replied, "Yes, I will quit smoking obediently, Young Master He."


    He Ming loved his gentle appearance the most. He pulled him into his arms and lowered his head to kiss his forehead.


    Qi Han sighed and said with a bitter smile, "It''s really cunning to use this move specifically against me, knowing that I have no resistance to your beauty."


    He Ming was a bit dissatisfied and said, "What? Do you only love my face?"


    "Otherwise? Your personality is both domineering and indifferent, isn''t it very likable?"


    "Qi Han..."


    Qi Han deliberately smiled and teased He Ming, causing him to frown before speaking softly, "I''m the only one who would be so foolish. I even like all of your flaws."


    He Ming couldn''t help but tightly embrace him and said in a blurry voice, "I''m the same."


    "What?"


    He Ming cleared his throat, feeling that some things were difficult to say and turned to ask, "Aren''t you watching TV? Are there any good programs?"


    "They''re all very boring," Qi Han pulled him back to the sofa and said, "How did you chat with Mr. Qin? Why did you come back so early?"


    He Ming couldn''t help but think of Qi Han halfway through the conversation. He rushed back to see him and casually said, "There''s only the two of us. After all, there''s just a few things to talk about, and there''s nothing to talk about."


    "You already said you should take me along."


    He Ming glanced at him and said without hesitation, "No way! In the future, you''d better stay away from him. If you can''t see him, then you can''t."


    "Why? Mr. Qin and I have a good relationship. Even if we meet, we won''t fight over you."


    "You can''t see him unless you have a good relationship," He Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and said seriously, "Qin Yun has such a lively mind, you will be led astray by him."


    "..."

 Chapter 34

    Qi Han was speechless.


    He Ming seemed to feel that his explanation was not enough, so he added, "Last time he meddled and introduced you to a boyfriend, it was the best example."


    After talking for a while, he was still jealous.


    Qi Hanzhen didn''t know whether to cry or laugh, and after a while, he said, "Please invite Mr. Qin to your house for dinner next time."


    "Why?"


    "Mr. Qin has helped me a lot in the past six months. I can''t just hide from others without even saying a thank you, can I? And..." He slowly leaned his head on He Ming''s shoulder and said, "If it weren''t for him, I wouldn''t have known about your car accident, let alone run to the hospital to find you at all costs."


    Of course, there would be no longer their current companionship.


    He Ming snorted twice, not knowing what it meant.


    Qi Han only assumed that he had agreed, and after a few days, he indeed invited Qin Yuntian to his home.


    Because Qi Han cooked it himself, he didn''t prepare any sumptuous dishes, only some home cooked side dishes. Qin Yuntian brought a bottle of red wine and the three of them came over to drink, chatting and eating.


    He Ming was always silent and didn''t speak much at this time. On the contrary, Qin Yuntian and Qi Han chatted enthusiastically. They not only had similar interests and hobbies, but also shared many viewpoints. They completely ignored He Ming while chatting.


    He Ming felt unhappy and thought to himself that these two people should not have met.


    This meal took over an hour to finish. As Qi Han got up to tidy up the dishes, Qin Yuntian blinked at He Ming and smiled, saying, "Mr. Qi''s cooking skills are good."


    "Hmm." No matter what the taste is, at least it suits his taste very well.


    "He must cook for you every day, right? You''re really lucky to be so obedient."


    He Ming tugged at the corner of his mouth and gave a rare smile. Feeling proud, he saw Qi Han knocking on the wall and leaning against the door, saying, "Young Master He, the dishes in the kitchen are waiting for you."


    "I''ll go wash it now," He Ming nodded and naturally rolled up his sleeves, strode into the kitchen.


    When Qi Han sat down at the table, there was already a sound of splashing water in the kitchen.


    Qin Yuntian raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Can He Ming wash dishes?"


    "After practicing a few times, the washing was quite clean."


    Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    "It''s unbelievable. He used to be willing to eat takeout all at once and never went into the kitchen."


    Qi Han smiled silently.


    Qin Yun glanced at him a few times and lightly tapped the table with his fingers, saying, "This time you won again."


    "Mr. Qin seems to enjoy gambling very much."


    "Unfortunately, I''m not lucky. I always lose to you."


    Qi Han started pouring tea for him and smiled, "It''s also possible that you chose the wrong opponent."


    "That''s right," Qin Yuntian nodded slowly and laughed along. "Because he was worried that my appearance would shake He Ming, deliberately letting him discover your secret was really a big gamble."


    Qi Han shook his hand as he held the cup, then held it down with his other hand and said calmly, "There is no eternal secret in this world."


    "But what if you lose the bet? If He Ming really doesn''t see you again, what do you plan to do? Approach him with another identity?"


    Qi Han smiled and said, "I''m not a spy."


    Although that is the case, it does not deny Qin Yuntian''s statement.


    His gaze was too firm and persistent, clearly able to move forward for He Ming.


    Qin Yuntian stared at him for a while and sighed, "I lost to you not because my methods were not ruthless enough or my intentions were not deep enough, but because I didn''t love him as much as you do."


    Qi Han opened his mouth to speak, but He Ming happened to finish washing the dishes and walked out. The two of them casually changed the topic and never mentioned it again.


    The three of them sat together and chatted for a moment. Qin Yuntian saw that it was getting late and stood up to bid farewell and leave. But as soon as he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, there will be a high school reunion next month, will you also attend?"


    He Ming''s eyelids twitched, and he immediately went to look at Qi Han''s expression. Then he glared at Qin Yuntian and said, "It''s been years since we last got together. Why did we suddenly have a reunion? Shouldn''t the person in the organization happen to be you?"


    "Exactly correct."


    Qin Yuntian smiled and gave the answer, then waved his hand and strode out of the door.


    "Is this guy specifically targeting me?" He Ming felt a headache and just thought for a moment before saying to Qi Han, "It''s okay if we don''t go to that boring party."


    Although he and Qi Han reconciled for a while, neither of them mentioned the past. Those past... perhaps have become a thorn in their hearts, but they both have a tacit understanding and treat it as non-existent.


    Qi Han rarely opposed He Ming''s opinion, and at this moment, he only smiled slightly without saying much.


    They watched TV in the living room as usual for a while and went to bed before ten o''clock. As a result, He Ming woke up in the middle of the night and found that Qi Han was not sleeping by his side. Instead, he sat by the bedside with his arms folded, staring out the window at the moonlight in a daze.


    He is very familiar with this posture.


    Before, every time after falling in love, I would show this lonely expression, only missing a cigarette in my hand.


    He Ming got up and hugged him, rubbed his ear, and asked, "Why don''t you sleep?"


    "Maybe it''s because I''m not used to quitting smoking and have some insomnia."


    "Are you so addicted to smoking?"


    Qi Han thought for a moment and said, "Because cigarettes are really a good thing. When you can''t bear to think about someone, you can only use them to numb yourself."


    After speaking, he turned his head and looked at He Ming, his eyes seeming to sparkle. He asked softly, "Do I... really get you now?"


    He Ming was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand what really made him uneasy.


    So he leaned over and kissed his lips, saying, "For now, if you dare to be lazy and not take me to heart, you will soon regret it."


    Upon hearing this, Qi Han chuckled softly and said, "Then shouldn''t I spend my whole life chasing you?"


    "That''s right." He Ming answered confidently, but his voice was incredibly gentle. His thin lips slowly brushed against Qi Han''s cheeks, "but I will turn back."


    The moonlight was so beautiful that even his expression became moving. He said, "No matter where you are, I will definitely turn my head. My eyes... will only gaze at you."

 Chapter 35

    He Ming really doesn''t understand why someone wants to organize such a gathering.


    A group of men and women who used to study together gathered together for a buffet, where acquaintances and strangers politely treated each other, and the noisy music kept tapping on their eardrums. It''s just a high school reunion, and not everyone has turned back into high school students. What''s so lively about it?


    With this time and energy, he would rather socialize with a few more clients and discuss more business deals.


    Despite complaining, he still sat in the venue, bored and drinking the wine in his glass.


    Why?


    Because Qi Han said he wants to participate.


    It''s really strange.


    Why would he obediently follow Qi Han with just one glance and one movement, even though he is the one who is steadfast and obedient?


    Who is the person who was eaten to death?


    The more He Ming thought about it, the more depressed he felt. Recalling Qi Han''s smile before going out, his mood slightly improved.


    That''s right, things during high school have always been a knot in Qi Han''s heart. Now that he voluntarily proposes to participate in the student union, it proves that this knot has gradually been resolved, right?


    As long as Qi Han feels happy, he can tolerate any boring activity.


    Of course, it would be even better if there weren''t so many people surrounding Qi Han.


    Qi Han''s current image is vastly different from before. He is elegant, handsome, and straightforward, with good social connections wherever he goes, even in such occasions. Since they entered the field, many people have been looking for him to reminisce about the past, especially the woman standing next to him now... Hey, it''s just an old classmate meeting. Do she need to smile so happily?


    He Ming looked at his watch and found that the two had been chatting for more than ten minutes. He felt very unhappy and was about to walk over to grab someone, but was heavily patted on the shoulder by someone.


    Looking back, it was Qin Yuntian who was causing him a headache.


    "Did you still come?"


    "Hmph."


    "Did Qi Han decide to participate?"


    He Ming still hummed, expressing his dissatisfaction with a gloomy expression.


    Qin Yuntian couldn''t help but laugh and shook the photo in his hand, saying, "Someone brought a high school graduation photo over, and many people said they couldn''t find it. They were clamoring to have it printed. Do you want it?"


    Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    "Bored."


    Of course, He Ming was not interested, but his eyes glanced over the photo. It took him some effort to find Qi Han''s figure in the corner - he was not tall at that time, wore a pair of glasses, and his appearance was much different from now, which was really inconspicuous.


    And with so many people standing together to take graduation photos, he was the only one who was absent-minded, staring away.


    He Ming followed his gaze and finally found his high school self in the crowd.


    Proud, arrogant, yet silently loved by Qi Han.


    That idiot!


    He Ming''s heart skipped a beat, unable to describe what it felt like. Qin Yuntian smiled in his ear and said, "Wow, you were quite handsome in high school. No wonder you''ve captivated so many people."


    He Ming waved his hand and casually said, "Help me add the seal."


    "Huh? No way, so narcissistic?"


    He Ming was too lazy to explain to him, so he put down his glass and strode towards Qi Han not far away.


    Qi Han was still talking to the woman, maintaining a polite smile on his face.


    "Are you currently working at Liwei? I heard it''s difficult to get into that company."


    "It''s okay."


    "Ah, it''s a pity. Why didn''t I see you as a potential stock in high school?"


    "I''m flattered."


    "Are you really not married yet?"


    "Hmm," Qi Han nodded and looked up at He Ming, his gaze becoming gentle. "But I already have someone ready to spend my whole life with."


    Upon hearing this, He Ming couldn''t bear it anymore and grabbed Qi Han''s arm, saying, "I''m sorry, I want to say a few words to this person."


    "Ah? But..."


    He Ming completely ignored the woman''s protest and pulled Qi Han out of the gathering hall.


    The lights in the hallway outside need to be slightly dimmer. He Ming quickly walked forward and didn''t stop until he reached the staircase.


    "What''s wrong?" Qi Han asked inexplicably, "What do you have to say to me?"


    He Ming remained silent, just pressed Qi Han against the wall and lowered his head to kiss him.


    "Hmm..." Qi Han immediately struggled and said, "Someone will pass by."


    "Don''t worry about him."


    He Ming''s voice was deep and hoarse, with one hand supporting the wall and the other pressing down on Qi Han''s shoulder. He passionately kissed him, entangled with his lips and tongue.


    "Hmm..."


    Ambiguous sounds echoed in the dim corridor.


    He Ming felt a bit hot in his body until both of them couldn''t catch their breath, and then he slightly withdrew. But still holding Qi Han in his arms, he pecked and kissed the top of his hair.


    Qi Han couldn''t bear the itching and asked, "What do you really want?"


    "It''s nothing, just suddenly I really want to kiss you."


    Qi Han couldn''t help but laugh and cry, "Mr. He, may I ask how old you are this year? Pay attention, this is a public place."


    He Ming squinted his eyes and didn''t know how to explain his feelings at the moment. He just grabbed Qi Han''s hand and gently pressed it against his chest.


    Pounding.


    His heartbeat is so fast and urgent, just for the person in front of him.


    Qi Han seemed to feel the tenderness in his eyes and took the initiative to approach and kiss his cheek.


    He Ming took the opportunity to hold the person tighter and said, "The reunion is too boring. Why don''t we go home first?"


    "So early?"


    "After returning home..." He Ming rubbed his ear and said in a hoarse voice, "There are still many things to do, I guarantee you won''t sleep too early."


    Qi Han''s face immediately turned red, but he did not refuse.


    He Ming touched Han''s hair, slowly released his embrace, and walked out first.


    "Let''s go."


    "Do you want to say hello to Mr. Qin?"


    "No need."


    He Mingren was tall and fast, and soon arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. But suddenly he stopped, turned his head to look at Qi Han, and extended his hand to him.


    Qi Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled and quickly caught up with He Ming, gently gripping the hand.
