He even thought that if it weren’t for that Fate Pattern, accompanying this person for life would be no big deal…
Chu Yi soothingly stroked Yu Qingxian’s head, unsure what to do next, when the car’s Bluetooth audio suddenly rang: “Chu Yi, Little Xian, are you there?”
Yu Qingxian hummed a few times, frowning irritably but not waking.
Chu Yi covered his ears with one hand while draping his jacket over Yu Qingxian’s head. As for the speaker, he didn’t know what to do.
Fortunately, Big Brother Yu seemed to have guessed and instructed Chu Yi on how to activate the car’s intercom function.
Chu Yi glanced at President Yu on him, searched around, and finally found a long-handled umbrella under a seat. He picked it up and awkwardly extended his arm to poke the button.
President Yu, disturbed, burrowed deeper into his embrace, the clothes falling over his head and engulfing him completely.
“Big Brother Yu?”
Yu Zhensheng breathed a sigh of relief: “Chu Yi, is Little Xian alright?”
He didn’t understand why the two had driven off alone. Asking Zhang Shaoyi only got him vague responses. Yu Qingxian’s Mobile Phone was found in the kidnappers’ lair, and Chu Yi’s Mobile Phone was in the backpack—neither could be reached.
Finally, the accompanying driver reminded him that the car had remote Bluetooth to try.
Chu Yi cleared his throat lightly: “President Yu is fine. He’s sleeping now. I’ll take him to my place first.”
Yu Zhensheng doted on his brother. Though the police station still needed statements and checks, those could wait! He gave Chu Yi a few more instructions, repeatedly entrusting him to take good care of his little brother.
Chu Yi agreed guiltily. He had taken very good care of him, in every sense…
Yu Qingxian woke up at dusk. He looked at the somewhat familiar guest room and bed, just relaxing, when a flood of wild, chaotic memories surged up.
Yu Qingxian: “…”
He covered his eyes with his hand, unable to believe that the one groping Chu Yi, clinging even while he drove, acting like a rogue, was himself!
How could he face Chu Yi from now on!
But thinking of their kissing scene, Yu Qingxian happily curled his lips. Though he had initiated the kiss, Chu Yi had responded and even helped him…
Yu Qingxian’s face burned red. Despite his embarrassment to see Chu Yi, he calmly got out of bed and slipped into the bathroom.
It was then he noticed his clothes had been changed to old casual ones he kept at the villa—a white hoodie and pants… And the one who changed them could only have been Chu Yi.
Because of this, when Yu Qingxian emerged from the bathroom, his lips kept curving upward.
Standing at the staircase, he took a deep breath before descending with poised steps.
“Chu—”
Seeing the man on the sofa turn his head, he realized he was too eager and called the wrong name. Yu Qingxian shut his mouth.
“Qingxian, you’re awake?” Yu Zhensheng looked his brother up and down, puzzled why his brother seemed disappointed to see him.
Yu Qingxian coughed lightly with a fist to his mouth: “Big Brother, when did you arrive? Where’s Chu Yi?”
He looked around, not seeing Chu Yi’s figure, and inexplicably grew worried again.
Yu Zhensheng: “I haven’t been here long, arrived around four or so. Chu Yi said you were sleeping, so I didn’t disturb you. Slept enough? Then come home with me.”
The whole family had waited a day. Because he hadn’t brought his brother back, the Old Master had scolded him.
“I’ll say hi to Chu Yi first.”
“That’s fine. You made it back safely this time thanks to Chu Yi. I’ll go with you.” Big Brother Yu stood up as he spoke.
Yu Qingxian hurriedly stopped him: “I’ll go by myself.”
Big Brother Yu: “Little Xian, no need to trouble yourself. I was part of asking Chu Yi this time too. Grandpa told me to thank him properly when I came. It’s only right to go together.”
Yu Qingxian: “…Alright, alright.”
The two entered Chu Yi’s studio together. Yu Qingxian felt a bit nervous, wondering what Chu Yi would say to his big brother.
Chu Yi acted very normally, first asking about the kidnappers. Learning that the main culprits Cui Ran and Kang Zeyu had been caught, he nodded: “That’s good.”
Yu Zhensheng: “I forgot to ask—why did you suddenly drive off with Little Xian?”
Yu Qingxian’s heart leaped as he cut in: “I asked Chu Yi to take me away first. I wasn’t feeling well…”
He didn’t dare look at Chu Yi, relieved his big brother probably hadn’t waited for the police interrogation of Cui Ran and Kang Zeyu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the face to show himself!
Would his big brother think he… he forced Chu Yi? Though his drugged frenzy begging for it was pretty much the same…
Chu Yi didn’t follow President Yu’s words. Instead, he said to Yu Zhensheng: “Big Brother Yu, could you step out? I have something to say to President Yu alone.”
Yu Qingxian saw his solemn expression and calm eyes, and his pounding heart instantly cooled, a bad premonition rising.
Yu Zhensheng looked at his brother, and Yu Qingxian nodded.
After Big Brother left, Yu Qingxian asked: “What do you want to say?”
Chu Yi noticed his tightly clenched fists, feeling reluctant, but still took out the Jade Thumb Ring: “I offended President Yu a lot today. This thumb ring might help improve your Soul Separation condition. Consider it my apology.”
“Why?”
