I Am Rich

56

After a tumultuous moment, the banquet came to an end. 

However, it was only the elders that dispersed. The juniors who barely have much chance to gather together like this have no intention to just leave. Thus, they decided to change places and go where young people usually play.

Eventually, Guan Yuanbai contacted Song Li and asked him to vacate a big room in his club.

The group of people went to have fun, drinking and playing games. When they arrived in the room, everyone go to have fun in their own way. Guan Zhiyi was familiar with all the people here, so she didn't have to be overcautious, sat next to Guan Yuanbai, casually eating fruit.

While...secretly took a glance at Qi Chengyan.

Qi Chengyan was sitting in front of her on the left side, beside him sat Song Li, who was currently chattering and pestering him to talk.

The surrounding area was quite noisy, Guan Zhiyi didn't know what they were talking about, only saw Qi Chengyan's eyes fall on her, he raised his eyebrow slightly, and glanced at the position beside him. 

Signalling her to sit next to him.

Guan Zhiyi was itching to move, but she didn't know if it was because she was secretly dating Qi Chengyan without everyone knowing, but she didn't dare go over and talk to him. She always felt like they would be exposed once she got close to him.

The two people's eyes met in the air.

As Guan Zhiyi hesitated, she heard Guan Yuanbai beside her suddenly asked, "How long will you stay this time?"

Guan Zhiyi was startled and quickly withdrew her eyes, "Ah? Actually, it's only one day, I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"That fast?"

"I can't take too much time off because the movie is still being filmed, there's still a month left before it's finished."

"Oh."

"Yuan Bai! Come here, Jiang Suizhou, this guy's hand is too lucky ah, come help me." Just then, not far away, Guan Ziyu shouted towards this side.

"Second brother, you need to have some dignity. How can you just call for external help when you can't defeat someone!" Guan Xi's dissatisfied voice came.

Guan Ziyu: "Comrade Guanxi, please recognize your identity clearly! You have not become Jiang's family yet! How is this external help…"

"It's none of your business, anyway, Jiang Suizhou's loss is also my loss."

There was a lot of noise coming from that side, Guan Yuanbai laughed and said to Guan Zhiyi, "Eat less cold food, I'll go over there."

"Okay."

After Guan Yuanbai left, Guan Zhiyi looked at Qi Chengyan again, Song Li had run to choose a song at this time, there was another person talking to him now.

Seeing that he was too busy chatting with others and did not pay attention to her for a while, she didn't have the urge to directly run to him. She just sat on her seat, silently listening to Song Li singing.

While listening, the sofa beside her suddenly sank slightly.

Guan Zhiyi was stunned and turned back.

"Why don't you go there to play with your brother and others?" To her surprise, Qi Chengyan had come over and sat down.

When Guan Zhiyi saw him from upclose, her heart unconsciously started to get nervous, she pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know how to play cards."

"Then why don't you sit next to me?"

Guan Zhiyi whispered,"Isn't there someone beside you..."

Qi Chengyan glanced at her and said with a smile, "If you come, I'll naturally ask them to move over."

"I don't want to, it's too obvious."

"Obvious about what? How come you didn't think it was abnormal to do this before?"

The people here are all close people, they all know that she has been sticking to Qi Chengyan since she was a child, so tightly that it was unusual for her not to stay by his side when they're in the same room.

It was her current guilty conscience that made her begin to restrain herself.

Guan Zhiyi couldn't refute, so she said, "Anyway, you're coming over by yourself now."

Qi Chengyan flicked her forehead and said lightly, "That's right, I miss you."

Guan Zhiyi was stunned slightly, and quickly glanced at the person closest to them. Seeing that the person evidently didn't hear it, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Your voice is too loud…"

"Hmm?"

"I said you were speaking too loudly."

"No one heard." Qi Chengyan looked at her, "So it seems that you don't miss me."

Guan Zhiyi didn't want him to think like that, she took a breath, boldly approached his ear, and said quickly, "No, I, I miss you too."

After saying that, she immediately sat up straight then pretended to pick up the glass and took a sip of juice.

Qi Chengyan was startled slightly, his eyes somewhat darkened when he looked at her.

"Say it again."

At this moment, Song Li was singing a high pitched song, his voice resonated in the whole room.

Guan Zhiyi watched attentively at him and in a great hurry approached his ear again, "It's fine if you didn't hear it......you shouldn't say good things for a second time!"

Qi Chengyan squinted his eyes, putting his right hand on top of the back of her hand that was on the sofa.

His warmth shrouded all at once, Guan Zhiyi felt like being scalded, and immediately wanted to pull out, however, he was holding her firmly.

Guan Zhiyi looked nervous, "What....."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

The sleeves worn by the two half-concealed their overlapping hands, and contrary to expectation, people could not see them clearly. 

On one hand, Guan Zhiyi felt nervous because she was being surreptitious with Qi Chengyan in plain sight, but at the same time she also felt happy to meet again after a long period of separation.

She pursed her lips and asked, "What about you, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Wasn't it me who asked you the question, why are you asking it back to me."

Guan Zhiyi hummed lightly,"I'd like to hear your answer first. I'll refer to it, then I'll tell you mine."

The little girl in front of him had a delicate face with a sly expression.

Qi Chengyan suddenly regretted having come here with such a big crowd. He should have just brought her home secretly.

"Okay, then I will speak first."

"I'm listening."

"Cheng Yan, I've chosen a song, let's sing a duet together." Suddenly, the loud voice from the stereo pulled the two out of the ambiguous atmosphere. When he looked up, Song Li was running over from the song-choosing area.

As he turned around, Qi Chengyan let go of her hand and asked, "Who wants to sing with you?"

Song Li ran up to the two and said,"Aiya, can you just sing this one time, I sing the girl parts, you sing the man one."

"I don't want to."

"Then I sing man parts, you sing the girl?"

"Go away."

Song Li gave him a blank expression and turned to Guan Zhiyi,"Then I'll just sing with Xiao Wu."

Guan Zhiyi looked at the song title on the screen, feeling a little embarrassed, "But, I have never heard this song before."

Song Li: "Really? You've never heard this song?"

"Really."

"Tch, sure enough, you're so young ah. Cheng Yan, we have a generation gap with Xiao Wu."

Qi Chengyan looked at him and said, "I've never heard of such an old song either."

Song Li: "?"

"I also have a generation gap with you."

Song Li: "..."

Qi Chengyan stopped paying attention to him and got up after saying that sentence, "Something's come up, I'm going out to make a phone call."

"Wait--you come back here! You say it again, you have never heard this song? During junior high school, our school radio station used to broadcast this song on repeat, OK!"

However, Qi Chengyan did not come back, Song Li could not find anyone to sing with him, so without any better option, panting with rage, he went back to replay the song. Then he goes into action, stubbornly singing the love song by himself.

"Song Li! Will you shut up? I have never let my ears suffer this kind of grievance in my whole life!" Guan Xi, who was playing cards, shouted angrily from the entertainment area not far away.

Song Li closed his ears and ignored it, solely keeping himself enthralled, making Guan Zhiyi's laugh.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

Guan Zhiyi took out her phone and look at it, she saw that Qi Chengyan had sent her two words: [Come out]

After reading it, Guan Zhiyi silently put away her phone, and then as if it was inadvertent, as if she just wanted to go outside to use the toilet, she sneaked out.

When she got out of the room, she walked down the corridor, but she didn't see Qi Chengyan. Just as she wanted to take out her phone to ask where he was, a hand suddenly reached out from a corner and pulled her in.

"Ah..."

"It's me."

Guan Zhiyi immediately covered her mouth, "You scared me to death."

"Come here."

Qi Chengyan pulled her towards the other side of the corridor and after reaching the end, he went up the stairs. Their original room was already on the top floor, so further up the stairs was the door to the rooftop.

Originally, he wanted to go to the rooftop, but Qi Chengyan saw that Guan Zhiyi was wearing a small skirt, it might be a bit cold to go out, so he did not continue going up, and only stayed on the stairs.

Because no one would come up on this floor, even the lights were turned off, and only some light was faintly pouring in from the rooftop door. 

There were just the two of them around, only the sound of their breathing remained here. In this silence, the eagerness and happiness that had been suppressed since she boarded the plane broke through the ground. She looked at his face with the light from outside, reluctant to look away.

"Brother, no one will interrupt now, so you can say whatever you were going to say." The stairs which Guan Zhiyi stood on were a step higher than Qi Chengyan, also coupled with a small high heel, but even so it was still barely enough to reach his height.

Qi Chengyan pinched her face, his voice a bit low,"Okay."

Guan Zhiyi tried to remain calm and composed while waiting.

Qi Chengyan looked at her, sighed lightly.

Guan Zhiyi: "Hm?"

Qi Chengyan: "I'd rather not talk about it now."

"Why-"

Qi Chengyan did not answer, but suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, embracing her. Guan Zhiyi stayed still for a moment, full of passion that seemed to be poured out, what restraint? What being reserved? All of a sudden those things no longer exist.

Her mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile, she hugged him back harder.

No one spoke again, just quietly hugging. However, Guan Zhiyi felt like she had understood everything.

In fact, at this time the two really have nothing else to say, they just miss each other very much.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been secretly hugging until Guan Zhiyi's cell phone rang untimely. When she took it out, it was a call from Guanxi.

"They must have found out that I wasn't inside and were looking for me."

"Hmm."

Guan Zhiyi's identity is different now and she needs to be more careful outside, so Qi Chengyan can understand how her family would be worried when they see her not going back for a long time.

However, after all, this brief meeting still could not satisfy him.

Guan Zhiyi answered the phone, said that she would go back right away and hung up. Seeing that she was about to go down, Qi Chengyan grabbed her and said,"Just go back like this?"

"They're looking for us......"

Qi Chengyan did not speak, but also did not let go.

In the meantime, there was suddenly a sparse sound of clothes rubbing from below the stairway. Qi Chengyan and Guan Zhiyi were taken aback simultaneously and looked downward, only to see that there were two figures below stumbling up, while kissing and moving, so excitingly.

"......"

What kind of precious feng shui was placed on these stairs?

The two people soon came up, the woman who was arising first, exclaimed that someone's here, and quickly signalled the man to let go of herself.

Qi Chengyan completely covered Guan Zhiyi with his arms when the two came up, hiding her face tightly. The light was dim here, so they wouldn't see anything.

"......"

"First come first serve, can the two of you move away?" Qi Chengyan gave side eyes at the two, his voice was light.

The two were also sensible people, after they realised what happened, the man laughed,"Brother, you're very good at picking a place ah."

Qi Chengyan mumbled an 'oh' sound and said, "It's just alright."

"Fine, OK, I'm sorry to disturb you, you guys can continue."

As he said this, he was smilingly embracing the woman beside him and went down.

Guan Zhiyi who was stuck between Qi Chengyan's chest and the wall, blushing completely.

Indeed......he is very good at picking the place.

"Shall we go back?" She looked up at him when the footsteps had gone away.

Qi Chengyan lowered his eyes to look at her, hummed, then very naturally lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Guan Zhiyi blinked her eyes, staring at him in a daze.

"We can't just do nothing when we occupy other people's places." Qi Chengyan smiled and lowered his head again to give her another kiss, "What do you think?"

Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips, "It seems to be right..."

"Then let's kiss again?"

His voice was low.

This appearance of his reminded Guan Zhiyi about the previous time in the wardrobe, which gave her a premonition that if this were to go deeper and they do the deed, they definitely would not be able to stop.

Hence, Guan Zhiyi immediately stretched out her hand to block his mouth, "Next time, okay? We have to stop before going too far today."

Qi Chengyan faintly said,"How can you say it like that? As if I don't know how to stop before going too far."

"But you really can't stop."

"......"

"Anyway, I really have to go back."

"Hmm."

It was obvious that he did not want to go back.

Guan Zhiyi observed his sullen face, and was deeply swayed, she shook his hand, "Don't be upset ah, I will go to your home and have fun with you tomorrow."

Qi Chengyan glanced at her, "Really? You'll find me to do what?"

"What do you want to do?"

Qi Chengyan patted her head, "You."
