nued to answer seriously. It was just that the tone of his voice sounded like he was bullshitting, “If I don’t lug you over my shoulder, did you want me to princess carry you? I think I might be beaten to death if I do.”

Jiang Yang scoffed coldly and the meaning behind it is self-evident.

historical

“Earlier, you intended to go home? But with your current appearance, how are you going to explain it to your acquaintances?” Qin Xu said slowly.

Jiang Yang’s movements stopped. He was too preoccupied with his anger and hadn’t thought that far. At this moment, he realised that he was being too impulsive and the last place he should be going to was his own home.

Qin Xu felt him stop moving and laughed: “Don’t worry. I’ll take you in. As many days as you need.”

Jiang Yang replied in disdain: “I’ll be like this for just a day. I can just go to a hotel.”

Qin Xu asked: “Did you bring your ID with you?”

Jiang Yang again stiffened and was at lost for words. He didn’t have the habit of taking his ID with him.

Qin Xu: “Come to my place. Who knows if another task will be sent out today. Wasn’t it because we were to far away that we couldn’t complete this one on time?”

What he said made sense and Jiang Yang also had to agree so he didn’t say anything and just patted his back. With a faint voice he said: “Let me down first.”

Qin Xu said: “Then promise that you won’t run or hit me.”

Jiang Yang snorted and nodded somewhat unwillingly, “Okay.....”

Hearing this, Qin Xu held onto him, bent down, and let him back down onto the ground. Because of his earlier struggles, Jiang Yang’s shirt was loose and wrinkled, his cheeks blushed faintly, and his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. The semi-wet black hair stuck onto his face, adding to his sexiness.

The loose t-shirt revealed his slender neck and delicate collarbone. There was also the vague presence of a chest that seemingly disappeared and appeared each time you looked at it. Qin Xu recalled that when he held Jiang Yang earlier, he didn’t feel a soft sensation on his back but earlier he was also too preoccupied with stabilising him and didn’t pay it much attention.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but be curious. He asked: “Did your chest change as well?”

Jiang Yang saw his look of eagerness and the veins on his forehead throbbed with anger. Forgetting about his earlier promise not to hit him, he threw a punch at Qin Xu’s stomach and warned through gritted teeth: “If you dare touch it, I will kill you.”

Fortunately, Qin Xu dodged his attack on time and it had only brushed his sides. He didn’t pay it much attention and just nodded understandingly: “Okay I won’t touch....But what haven’t I touched on your body? There’s no need to be embarrassed.”

Embarrassed your big uncle!

Jiang Yang roared this out internally. He felt that the system really was not reliable. Based on what damned data does it say that they would have a large likelihood of developing everlasting friendship? It’s absolutely impossible! If he could manage not to beat him to death, then it already is an amazing feat for him!

Jiang Yang gritted his teeth and swore. Even if he swallowed his phone or lost all his rare game items, he would not be Qin Xu’s friend!

Qin Xu saw that Jiang Yang was about to explode in anger and immediately tried to placate him: “Sorry, I said too much. Don’t be angry. Calm down.”

Although it was fun to fight with Jiang Yang from time to time, it wasn’t good to fight every time they saw each other. He still hoped that they could get along well and be able to sit down and talk every now and then.

And so, Qin Xu recalled the words he had said this morning. He extended his index finger and reminded him, “Jiang Yang, didn’t you say this morning that you would help with any request of mine? Then can you try and control yourself and fight less with me? It doesn’t have to be no fighting completely but at least don’t hit me every time you see me.”

“No way.” Jiang Yang cleanly rejected it while rolling his eyes, “The task had failed so it doesn’t count. Also, it was something you said. I didn’t mean it that way when I said it. As for fights....... I have never been someone who would just casually beat another person up. It’s because you are in deserving of a beating. If you could control your cheap mouth and middle-school mentality then I probably won’t beat you to death, don’t worry.”

When he reached the end of his words, Jiang Yang curved up his lips and revealed a both threatening and polite smile.

Qin Xu: “............” Don’t speak of it. He really can’t control it!

Jiang Yang probably guessed that Qin Xu couldn’t do it. He gave him a look and didn’t say much but Qin Xu could tell based on his expression. Qin Xu pitifully rubbed his stomach. They had not had breakfast yet and he was hungry.

And so, under Qin Xu’s insistence, they sat at the nearest breakfast shop. Afraid of running into acquaintances, Jiang Yang didn’t want to stay outside. Qin Xu patted his shoulder reassuringly while smiling and saying: “Be at ease. How can it be that coincidental? After eating, we’ll head back home.”

What he didn’t realise was that those words immediately raised flag. Can’t be that coincidental? The god will show you his capabilities!

Qin Xu was very hungry, and he proceeded to order multiple things. This included beef noodles, glutinous rice with chicken, xiao long bao, soy milk and fried oil sticks. Jiang Yang was still filled with anger, so he only ordered vermicelli noodles. Qin Xu wanted to ridicule him for his small appetite but the moment he opened his mouth, he was immediately glared at. He could only close his mouth obediently and stare at his face in silence.

Because of the system, the mildly wheat coloured skin that he had painstakingly achieved had, in just one night, turned into a delicate and pale skin that seemingly glowed in the sun. Last time when Qin Xu went to his house, he had unintentionally come across some of his past photos and his skin now looked almost like the skin he had back then. It was pale and smooth, and Jiang Yang couldn’t help but think that it’s too feminine looking.

There was a saying that paleness can cover ugliness. With Jiang Yang’s changes, Qin Xu didn’t pay attention to whether he had become prettier or not. Instead, he felt that that face of his was of his liking. Unfortunately, after becoming paler, Jiang Yang’s glares no longer looked as threatening as it used to. Even if he rolled his eyes, Qin Xu couldn’t help but find it rather soft and gentle.

Qin Xu was still lost in his thoughts when his face as suddenly pushed aside by a palm.

“Don’t look at me.” Jiang Yang warned domineeringly.

Qin Xu saw him act like a haughty queen and couldn’t help but laugh. As if he suddenly remembered something, he then said seriously: “I was just looking because you have something on your face.”

Because he had said this quite seriously, Jiang Yang believed his words and reached out to rub his face, “What’s on my face?”

“Good looking”

Jiang Yang: “.....” Crazy bastard.

He looked down and turned his attention to his phone and didn’t bother giving any attention to the crazy idiot before him. However, that someone was like gum and naturally wouldn’t give up so easily. His mouth started chattering on nonstop and cheesy lines flowed out continuously.

“Why are you hurting me like this?

Jiang Yang told himself not to give him any attention. He knew that if he gave him an inch, then he would definitely try to take a mile. Despite this, he couldn’t control his mouth: “Do I even need a reason? I don’t like the look of you. Not only will I hurt you, I’ll beat you until you can’t move half your body.”

Qin Xu directly ignored his words and continued to look at him affectionately, “I love you so much that it hurts!”

Jiang Yang: “.........” Goosebumps quickly formed on his arms. He couldn’t help but be disgusted.

Qin Xu wanted to continue but Jiang Yang glared at him with disgust, “Shut your mouth!”

Qin Xu however didn’t take his threatening warning to heart. He responded even more enthusiastically while looking at him with bright eyes, “Even if I shut my mouth, it’s pointless. My love for you will pour out through my eyes.”

Jiang Yang: “.......Go away.”

“Go away where? I have nowhere to go inside your heart.”

Jiang Yang: “........”

He suddenly felt tired. After consecutive cheesy attacks, his temper had calmed down. Jiang Yang asked with helplessness: “What’s wrong with you?”

“What do you think? Since you’re going to beat me up anyway, I thought that I might as well make the most of my time before I go to heaven.” Qin Xu laughed and answered seriously.

This logic. I’ll give it full marks.

Qin Xu not only spouted cheesy lines, he also made lots of small movements. He rested his chin in his palms and reached out to hold Jiang Yang’s hand on the table. Inserting his fingers one by one, he eventually formed the embarrassing interlocked handhold. At the same time, he looked at Jiang Yang with a smile and said, “I like you.”

That smile of his was clean and handsome and, seemingly coated in honey, a thick sweet smell exuded from it causing the on-lookers to feel a little dizzy from the sweetness.

Jiang Yang’s body shivered for a moment and he only reacted after their hand was interlocked for a few seconds. Like he was zapped by electricity, he instantly retracted his hands and complained uncomfortable, “You’re crazy.”

At this moment, the waiter had just brought their food over and both heard and saw what was going on. He couldn’t help but smile. Inside he thought; he is only here to work. Why is he suddenly being force fed such sweet dog food? And to think that he’s eating it quite happily!

The waiter pretended to be calm as he placed the dishes on the table and, as he straightened himself back up, he sneaked a glance at the couple before turning to leave. The little brother is so handsome and flirty, and the little sister is so proud, so cute! I want to pack them up and take them home!!!!

Despite the waiter’s calm exterior, internally fireworks were exploding.

Unaware of what was happening, one continued to tease the other while the other continued to respond with disgust. Despite all this, the two managed to finish their meal with relish.

After paying the bill, they didn’t walk too far from the breakfast shop when they ran into an acquaintance.

Less than ten steps away.

Wu Tong was holding onto He Shuo’s hand as he looked at them with surprise.

Jiang Yang panicked. Without much thought, he looked over at Qin Xu and sent him a glare. You jinxed it!

Qin Xu: “........” Feeling super guilty.
