He said I was soft and nice

Chapter 8

"I like men."

With just one sentence, the room was suddenly silent.

After Qi Ling said it, he suddenly didn't dare to look at Xu Chen, so he could only lower his head in a concealed manner, and vigorously scratched the soft fabric on the sofa with his fingertips, once and for all, as if grasping his heart.

Qi Ling could almost hear the vibration in his chest, which was much stronger than usual.

He is nervous.

Why nervous?Obviously he was sure that even if Xu Chen knew that he was gay, he would not tell it. With this guarantee, he chose to confess, right?

Qi Ling glanced at the wound on his arm that had been well-medicated, and remembered the gentle movements of the other party when he applied the medicine, and seemed to understand a little bit——

He was afraid that Xu Chen would hate him.

Fearing that the other party would feel disgusted like Liu Yuyu and his parents, hated him, and alienated him, Qi Ling couldn't stop panicking just thinking of that scene.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to raise his head. With just one glance, he could see Xu Chen's attitude, and he could also decide whether or not the two would meet in the future.

But as soon as he moved, someone rubbed the top of his head lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone's emotions.

Qi Ling was a little dazed. When he raised his head, he saw Xu Chen squatting down in front of him, his eyes were on the same level as his, and his eyes were deep.

"Qi Ling, this is not a disease." Xu Chen's tone was very serious, "This is also a kind of sexual orientation, you don't need to feel inferior or feel that you have done something wrong."

Just now Qi Ling lowered his head, as if he was a cub that was about to be abandoned, his whole body was terrified, Xu Chen touched his head almost subconsciously,

"Don't worry so much, live the life you want."

These words are almost exactly the same as those that the stranger said many years ago.

Qi Ling thought he was already strong, but comforted by Xu Chen, he found that he was very fragile. The strength given to him by that stranger a few years ago had been exhausted little by little. When he was about to be dragged into the darkness again , Xu Chen gave him a hand.

"Thank you."

Qi Ling's voice was hoarse, with a strong nasal voice. He rubbed the end of his eyes and repeated, "Thank you, Xu Chen."

No matter what his original purpose was, at this moment, he was really grateful to Xu Chen.

Seeing him thanking him with red eyes, Xu Chen couldn't help rubbing his head again. Qi Ling sat on the sofa obediently, and even rubbed Xu Chen's palm a little, as if to behave in a spoiled manner.

Xu Chen raised his lips and asked him, "Is your arm still hurting? If you don't feel well, let's go to the hospital."

Qi Ling shook his head, "It's much better, the ointment is very effective, but I seem to have stained your clothes."

Xu Chen only has shirts here, and his size is too big for Qi Ling, so the ointment will inevitably rub onto his sleeves.

Annoyed, he pulled up the fallen cuff, "It's too long..."

His hands were buried, and he looked like a child stealing an adult's clothes.

Normally, he didn't realize that there was such a big difference in body size between himself and Xu Chen, especially at the shoulders, which were too wide, and he looked limp in clothes, not good-looking at all.

Seeing that Qi Ling's ears were turning red, Xu Chen raised his hand to cover the smile on his lips, and coughed lightly: "I just ordered a set of clothes for you, and it should be delivered soon, or You can wait for the previous white T to dry."

When Qi Ling went to take a shower, he simply disposed of the dirty clothes, because he was afraid that the other party would not feel comfortable wearing his own clothes.

Hearing this, Qi Ling glanced at the balcony, and sure enough, his short sleeves were drying, which seemed to have been dried.

"Okay!" Qi Ling's brows and eyes were curved with a smile, and the previous haze was not seen in his eyes.

It should be coaxed, right?

Xu Chen thought to himself.

He glanced at the time and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to dinner later."

Hearing this, Qi Ling wanted to get his mobile phone, "Let me see if there are any delicious restaurants nearby, and I will treat you to dinner! I have caused you too much trouble today."

"And I chose that coffee shop because I wanted to find you for dinner in the afternoon, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now."

Xu Chen didn't refuse either, and pointed to the coffee table, "Your phone is over there."

Qi Ling saw his mobile phone in the corner of the coffee table on the left, and leaned over to get it, but he didn't know if the sofa was too soft, and the sleeves were too long, which tripped him several times, and he was about to lose his balance and fall. Both hands held his waist firmly.

It was the same as the last time at the bar, but this time Xu Chen didn't let go immediately, but hugged him back, and after making sure Qi Ling was sitting still, he smiled softly: "Why are you going to fall again?"

At this moment, Qi Ling was half-embraced by him, and the tip of his nose was filled with the cold breath of the other party, with silent aggression and oppression.

The temperature of the other party spread from the thin shirt to his skin bit by bit through the hands at the waist, and coupled with the low smile that was crisp to the bone, he couldn't help curling up his toes because of the heat.

He seems to be stuck.

Qi Ling thought.

But he didn't want to go out.

Now when he raises his eyes, he can see the other's sharp jaw, and if he gets closer, his lips can touch the other's face.

At this moment, he felt more than just his waist, the other party's breath swept over from all directions, making him confused.

It was really too close, so close that he wanted to do something out of the ordinary.

Qi Ling blinked, reluctantly put aside those untimely charming thoughts, tilted his head, but his eyes fell on the protruding Adam's apple of the other party, paused, and then looked down vaguely.

The shirt was buttoned up so much that nothing could be seen.

So stingy.

Xu Chen didn't notice the other party's direct gaze, he only felt that the person in his arms was a small ball, he could easily hug him, he was so close, and he could smell the lemon fragrance from the other party's body after bathing, obviously he was familiar with it. The taste is a bit different.

It has a bit of inexplicable sweetness, the taste is very light, but it is very attractive.

Xu Chen was stunned, didn't he always treat the person in his arms like a child?

Xu Chen's eyes darkened, but he didn't show it on his face. He was about to let go of Qi Ling, but a cold fingertip was covered on the back of his hand, and he pushed it back like a refusal.

"Xu Chen, itches..."

Qi Ling's face was stained with a thin layer of red, his eyelashes trembled, and he looked at him with wet eyes, "The waist is so itchy..."

Xu Chen's heart skipped a beat, he withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and stood up straight, his calmness just now was instantly broken.

Qi Ling had a panoramic view of Xu Chen's flustered movements, and there was a small arc on the corner of his lips, but it disappeared soon.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the hem of the other's clothes, and shook it slightly, with just the right amount of doubt on his face: "Xu Chen?"

He still wanted to say something while the iron was hot, when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Xu Chen subconsciously looked at the mobile phone on the coffee table, tapped the name on the display to bring him back to his senses immediately, he adjusted his mood, and handed the mobile phone to Qi Ling, "Call."

Qi Ling didn't notice the change in the other party's mood, obviously he was almost able to pierce the window paper!

He gritted his teeth secretly, took the phone, and after seeing the name on it, he became even more annoyed.

It's Xu Zhou again!

As the elder brother, Xu Chen probably remembered his identity immediately after seeing his younger brother's phone call, and the distance between the two has grown invisible, not to mention that the two brothers may not be as harmonious as they appear on the surface.

"Why did you answer the phone now? It's inconvenient?" Xu Zhou was a little puzzled, this time he didn't answer until the phone almost hung up.

Isn't Qi Ling still with that blind date girl?

There was a touch of anxiety in his brows, but his voice was as ordinary as possible, "It's like this, I just happened to be near the Grand Hyatt Coffee for something, and I just remembered that you are here too. Did the blind date go well?"

Qi Ling glanced at Xu Chen who was calmly drinking water beside him, pursed his lips, "I'm not suitable with that girl."

"Oh! That's a pity." Xu Zhou said it was a pity, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his tone became brisk, "But it's okay, brother treats you to a big meal, just as I didn't mention it to you earlier. Have you had a tutor? His family is also nearby, I just asked, and he said that he is free, do you want to meet and chat?"

"My dad and he are old friends. I also call him uncle. With me around, you will definitely be able to negotiate."

Xu Zhou became more and more enthusiastic, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."

Qi Ling replied vaguely: "It's not convenient for me now, I'll explain it to your uncle later."

"Ah? Are you not around now?" Xu Zhou sensed the unease in his tone and was a little anxious, "Qi Ling, is something wrong with you? Tell me, I'll be right there!"

Qi Ling didn't expect Xu Zhou to be so good at grinding, so he thought about hanging up the phone and forgetting about it. Before he could make a move, Xu Chen next to him put down his water glass and said softly, "Let him come over!"

Finally, the doorbell rang, and Qi Ling reluctantly went to open the door.

Xu Zhou's face was full of anxiety, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Ling, "I was scared to death, I thought something bad happened to you."

"But, whose house is this?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice that he was all too familiar with, "My home."

Xu Chen appeared behind Qi Ling, holding a white T-shirt in his hand, "It's done, you can change into it."

It was only then that Xu Zhou noticed that what Qi Ling was wearing was not the one he saw this morning, but a very ill-fitting shirt. Judging from the style, it looked like what his brother often wore.

"You guys..." Xu Zhou didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He was shocked, complicated, and even a little angry.

He knew that Xu Chen had a property near the company, but he didn't know the exact location. It looked like it was here.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and squeezed out an ugly smile, "Brother, how did you meet Lingling by chance, thank you for taking care of him, I will take him back to school first."

After Xu Zhou finished speaking, he wanted to pull Qi Ling away from the house, but he was stopped by a pair of hands as soon as he stepped into the door.

"Xu Zhou, I didn't prepare your shoes, you wait outside."

Xu Chen's tone was unquestionable, and there was no room for Xu Zhou to discuss it.

Xu Zhou took a step back and subconsciously glanced at Qi Ling's feet, without shoes on.

Looking up, the ends of her hair are still not dry, so it's clear that she just took a shower...

Of course Qi Ling knew that Xu Zhou had misunderstood, but before he could explain, the door in front of him was slammed shut.

"Change first." Xu Chen handed him the clothes.

The shirt really didn't fit Qi Ling, it was loose and baggy, with the collarbone exposed, with the powder from the shower, Xu Chen almost subconsciously closed the door when Xu Zhou's eyes were wandering.

Qi Ling's gaze stayed on Xu Chen's hand on the doorknob for a moment, and when he thought of something, he curled his lips lightly, then said yes, and obediently went to the bathroom to change clothes.

When he came out, Xu Chen was waiting for him at the door.

After Xu Chen made sure that he was fully dressed, he was about to open the door, but someone grabbed his sleeve.

The strength was not strong, but it stopped him all at once.

Qi Ling seemed to like to tug on his cuffs or the hem of his clothes.

"Xu Chen, I don't want to go back to school with Xu Zhou, I want to be with you." Qi Ling looked at him softly, with a pitiful tone, "Can you take me to dinner?"

"I'm hungry."
