ALL NOVEL Chapter 99 - III
Xie Qi felt lazy all over and was a bit distracted. He had originally thought he was frigid, but… today, it seemed he wasn’t?
He realized that without any stimulation, he would be cold and indifferent, as quiet as a dormant volcano. But once there was stimulation, he would collapse like a snow mountain, unstoppable.
Xie Qi felt a little embarrassed later but still said firmly, “You… you don’t mind being dirty.”
Qin Yizhi said, “It’s not dirty. I like it very much.”
Xie Qi: “…?”
His face couldn’t help but heat up. “What do you like?”
No way, a man like Qin Yizhi still has this kind of hobby?
Qin Yizhi looked away and said calmly, “I like you.”
Xie Qi: “…Ah? What did you say?”
He wasn’t teasing Qin Yizhi this time. He really didn’t hear it.
Xie Qi ignored the vague pain in his body and asked in a low voice, “Can you explain? What did you just say?”
Qin Yizhi turned his gaze back to Xie Qi’s face, clearly seeing the expectation in Xie Qi’s golden eyes. Xie Qi’s face always tried hard to remain calm and cold, but his eyes always exposed his emotions.
Always… easy to understand.
Qin Yizhi said calmly, “I like you.”
His voice was calm, as if he were saying, “It’s a nice day today.”
Xie Qi didn’t know how to respond, but when he heard Qin Yizhi’s words, he felt a little dazed again.
He paused for a moment before saying, “That’s good.”
Qin Yizhi continued, “So it’s not dirty.”
Xie Qi said dryly, “Okay.”
His face grew hot again. He said, “Does this count as a confession?”
He pretended to be calm and said, “That’s really embarrassing. I’m a straight man, and I can’t accept your confession.”
Qin Yizhi answered smoothly, “We’re already married. You can only accept it.”
Xie Qi: “…?”
He pretended to be helpless and said, “Well, there’s no other way. Who made us husband and wife? Then I have to accept your confession.”
Saying this, Xie Qi felt a little unspeakably relaxed, but he tried hard not to show it.
If Qin Yizhi were a woman, Xie Qi probably wouldn’t be so harsh. But Qin Yizhi was a man.
To be honest, he still felt somewhat competitive. Because of his certain nature as a man, he would try hard to take control of the relationship between them. This instinct was stronger with the same sex and would not relax in the slightest.
This was also why Xie Qi resisted when Qin Yizhi flirted with him. He even hoped Qin Yizhi would do as he said – it was also his manly nature.
Xie Qi said, “In that case, the agreement between us will have to be re-drafted.”
Before Qin Yizhi could speak, Xie Qi immediately said, “You made three rules with me before, and they were all aimed at me. Now, I’ll make three rules for you.”
Xie Qi felt high-spirited at that moment, and it was also because he was secretly happy—not to mention how much he liked Qin Yizhi. To be able to make Qin Yizhi, who was stronger than him, bow his head, no matter how calms a boy was, would make anyone feel a sense of elation.
Also, Xie Qi wasn’t very mature and steady.
Qin Yizhi knew this very well, but he didn’t stop him and said, “You say it.”
Xie Qi said, “The first rule is, you can’t cheat, you can’t look at other people, and you can’t have physical contact with other people. The second rule, you can’t have a mistress, the third rule—” He paused for a moment and said nonchalantly, “I must be number one in your heart.”
This was to return everything Qin Yizhi had told him.
Qin Yizhi was dumbfounded. After a while, he asked, “This is all?”
Xie Qi replied, “Yes, you must follow them well.”
Qin Yizhi agreed, “Okay.”
Xie Qi suddenly felt refreshed. In order to show fairness, he said to Qin Yizhi, “I can also give you pocket money.”
Qin Yizhi replied, “No need.”
Xie Qi said, “It’s fine. To be honest, I used to take you as someone who was taken advantage of. I didn’t have any real feelings for you, but it’s different now. In our relationship, I can’t treat you like an ATM.”
He generously said, “I can give you 200,000 pocket money a month.”
Qin Yizhi lowered his eyes and said lightly, “The money from the left pocket goes to the right pocket. Isn’t it interesting?”
Xie Qi: “…Hmm.”
Xie Qi was being stuck; he wasn’t actually stingy with the people he liked. When he had no money, he had no choice but to treat everyone equally and be stingy. After he had money, he gave tens of thousands of red envelopes to Fan Qingyue, Li Siwen, and others.
He thought about giving Qin Yizhi more, but what was the use? Qin Yizhi wasn’t short of money.
Xie Qi fell silent.
He suddenly realized something. Once he entered a relationship, some realistic factors would follow.
He hadn’t liked Qin Yizhi before. No matter how kind Qin Yizhi had been to him, he’d been moved at most. His labour had been matched by the pocket money Qin Yizhi had given him. If Qin Yizhi had treated him well in other ways than money, it would have been like having too many debts.
But once he liked Qin Yizhi and wanted a healthy relationship, what could he give?
Xie Qi quickly stopped and couldn’t think about it anymore. He said to Qin Yizhi calmly, “Then what do you think?”
Qin Yizhi said calmly, “I can give you my salary card.”
Xie Qi: “Huh? Salary card? Do you also have a salary?”
Qin Yizhi answered patiently, “Yes, my salary is 30,000 yuan a month.”
Xie Qi’s attention immediately shifted, “…No, why is your salary so low? Aren’t you the boss?”
Qin Yizhi said calmly, “This is a normal salary. A secretary’s monthly salary is only about 20,000.”
Xie Qi: “…”
He couldn’t understand. Qin Yizhi continued, “But in addition to wages, there are also company dividends and profits. I will sort these out and show you the information.”
“…” Xie Qi said, “What are you doing?”
Qin Yizhi replied, “You should know how many assets the family has.”
Xie Qi said dryly, “What are you showing me for? Aren’t you afraid that I will take it all and run away?”
Qin Yizhi lowered his eyes and said coldly, “You can’t run away.”
Xie Qi said, “Why can’t I run? I have legs, of course, I can run.”
Qin Yizhi was speechless. After a while, he smiled faintly and said, “You remember everything I said.”
Xie Qi looked at his smile, paused for a moment, and said, “I’ve always held grudges.”
Qin Yizhi said lightly, “I like this side of you too.”
When he said this, his faint smile faded, his expression remained stoic.
Just looking from Xie Qi’s perspective, one could see his red ears. As if noticing Xie Qi’s gaze, he tilted his face calmly.
Xie Qi: “…”
‘Hey, why is your ear so red?’
