Perhaps it was because he had been alone for too long, with the appearance of Qin Zhongyue, Xie Zhongxing had grown accustomed to studying and living with someone. For him to suddenly go back to being alone again, he probably would need some time to get used to it.

But he didn’t think he had the right to occupy Qin Zhongyue’s entire life, so he declined his offer, “You go back. You can call me when you miss me.”Xie Zhongxing paused and added jokingly, “If you don’t go back, your dad would think you were hoodwinked by a minx.”Qin Zhongyue, “You should know, my dad actually really likes you. If it was you, my dad would be more than happy.”Xie Zhongxing remembered Qin Zhongyue mentioning before that his father wanted to adopt him. Even now, he still had some doubts, but when he thought about what Qin Zhongyue was like and, thinking that his father may similarly be like him, he asked, “You dad really likes me? He has never met me before, why would he like me?”Qin Zhongyue answered, “Isn't it all because you’re just too likeable? Even without meeting you, my dad likes you.”Xie Zhongxing, “…….”Qin Zhongyue’s sincere words made Xie Zhongxing a little embarrassed.Seeing that Xie Zhongxing wasn’t speaking, Qin Zhongyue looked up at him, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”Xie Zhongxing was silent for a moment before he asked, “You think I am likeable?”Qin Zhongyue was shocked, “Why are you asking a question like that?”Xie Zhongxing, “….I can’t ask?”Qin Zhongyue exclaimed loudly, “Of course you are likeable! That is without a doubt!! If you’re not likeable, how could I like you this much?!”Xie Zhongxing’s heart skipped a beat. He blinked a few times, “You like me?”Qin Zhongyue said frankly, “Of course! You’re very clever, a picture-perfect child other parents always compare their own children to, and most importantly, you’re good looking! Your skin is fair, your legs and waist are thin! Who wouldn’t like you?!”“People who don’t like you are blind!” He firmly concluded.He spoke very frankly and straightforwardly. Xie Zhongxing let out a soft ‘en’.Qin Zhongyue continued earnestly, “You should be more confident in yourself. How could you not like yourself with so many people liking you?”He paused for a moment and, with the mindset that he is a man many years older than Xie Zhongxing, he added, “Even if no one likes you, don’t pay it any heed. Those people are just blind and unable to see your good points. As for you, don’t doubt yourself. You must always believe that you are the best. You are thunder, you are light, you are the only legend!”

Xie Zhongxing, “…..”Please stop singing.Xie Zhongxing laughed, “I wasn’t doubting myself. I was just curious.”Qin Zhongyue asked, “Curious about what?””Xie Zhongxing said, “Curious about what kind of person I am in your eyes.”Qin Zhongyue said without hesitation, “Someone who shines very brightly!”Qin Zhongyue covered his eyes and acted with exaggeration, “Every time I see you, you are shining brightly. Very, very brightly.”Xie Zhongxing laughed. His tone was gentle, “Even if you say that, you can’t escape from advanced mathematics.”Qin Zhongyue, “…….”It was a very touching atmosphere just now. Why did Xie Zhongxing have to mention that to ruin it?After the exams, a dinner was organised by the class. Xie Zhongxing changed into the clothes Qin Zhongyue bought for him. They all say that clothing makes a man. As he looked at himself in the mirror wearing his new clothes, he felt that it was very different from his usual school uniform.But as for what was different, he couldn’t put a finger on it.Qin Zhongyue as usual praised him very sincerely, “You look so good in this. You look very youthful and handsome!”He took out another box from under the coffee table and said to Xie Zhongxing, “Surprise!! This time it’s a real surprise!! Open it and take a look.”Xie Zhongxing received it and looked inside. It was a pair of shoes.Qin Zhongyue said, “Custom AJ’s! Do you like it?”Xie Zhongxing subconsciously asked, “How much was it?”Qin Zhongyue scratched his head. He didn’t know what Qin Xiangqian meant by too much so he tentatively said a number, “Just a few hundred.”Xie Zhongxing knew he was lying just by looking at his face. He smiled lightly and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you. It looks great, I like it.”Qin Zhongyue said with a guilty conscience, “Hurry and put it on. Try it out.”

Xie Zhongxing tried it on and asked, “Does it look good?”Qin Zhongyue clapped, “It looks great!! You are the most handsome one out there!”Xie Zhongxing, “You too.”Qin Zhongyue said modestly, “That won’t do. You should be the focus. I’m willing to be the green leaf by your side.”Xie Zhongxing said, “Stop talking and let’s go.”Because the expenses for this meal are covered by the leftover class fees and although Teacher Wang Yuxue had contributed some money too, there wasn’t a lot so they held their graduation celebration party at an ordinary hotel.When Qin Zhongyue reached the hotel and saw the grey doors, he said with some annoyance, “I forgot to tell Teacher Wang that I’m a VIP member of Jinyu Hotel and we won’t be charged when using their venue.”Xie Zhongxing could never understand how rich people spent their money but he didn’t ask.The two of them arrived early and not many people were there at this time. It happened to be summer right now so there were several girls wearing small formal dresses, revealing their slender and fair necks as well as their long and thin legs. It was quite a sight.But Qin Zhongyue didn’t even give them a single glance. He was a very strange person. In his eyes, he could only see what he wanted to see. Like right now, those beautiful figures didn’t attract his attention at all. All that was reflected in his eyes was Xie Zhongxing.Qin Zhongyue helped Xie Zhongxing pull out a chair. He then called over a waitress and got a glass of milk for Xie Zhongxing, “You can’t drink tonight and neither will I. Let’s both drink milk.”Xie Zhongxing remembered how Qin Zhongyue had been making him drink milk for the past two months and found it a little funny. He made a sound of agreement and reached out to take the milk from the waitress but Qin Zhongyue was one step ahead of him, “Why is it cold? We want warm milk. Can big sister change it to warm milk for us? Thanks.”The waitress looked at Qin Zhongyue’s handsome face, blushed and made a sound of agreement. In less than a minute, she had replaced them with warm ones. As she left, she continued to cast frequent glances at Qin Zhongyue.Xie Zhongxing once again witnessed Qin Zhongyue’s charm but he could see that Qin Zhongyue didn’t care about her at all. After receiving the milk, he carefully poured it into a cup and pushed it in front of him.Xie Zhongxing, “……..”There was a small part of him that was a little pleased but Xie Zhongxing didn’t think much of it. He picked up the cup and took a sip.En, it’s sweet. Xie Zhongxing thought this.When Deng Qi came over and saw that they were drinking milk, his eyes widened in surprise, “You two still haven’t been weaned?”

Qin Zhongyue gave him a look and said wisely, “Didn’t you ask me how I grew to be so tall? I’ll tell you the answer now.”Deng Qi, “…..You’re not going to say that it’s from drinking milk, are you?”Qin Zhongyue said, “No, my parents are tall.”Deng Qi, “……….”Deng Qi rolled his eyes, “What bullshit.”Qin Zhongyue retorted, “You started it first.”Deng Qi, “………..”Deng Qi could only hurriedly escape. A while later, he returned and said to Qin Zhongyue, “Brother, help me out a bit.”Qin Zhongyue was still busy shelling peanuts for Xie Zhongxing. Hearing Deng Qi, he didn’t even raise his head, “Speak.”Deng Qi said, “I met this girl online and am going to meet her in person in the next few days hehehe.”Qin Zhongyue, “So?”Deng Qi, “My looks aren’t anything special. Help me meet her.”Qin Zhongyue didn’t hesitate, “No.”Deng Qi pleaded, “Please brother! With you looking so good, she will definitely like you.”Qin Zhongyue raised his eyes and looked at him, “The person she would like is me, not you. Would you be happy with that?”He continued earnestly. “Dating online is dating online. You shouldn’t be lying to them. If she likes you, she would like you no matter what you’re like. What if she has already prepared herself for an old man? If she doesn’t like you, she wouldn’t want to meet you in person. You should be more confident in yourself.”“Men should be confident!” Qin Zhongyue announced loudly at the end.Deng Qi was persuaded by him. He said with some shame, “You’re right, brother! I think I’m also not bad looking, she can’t possibly not like me! I’ll go meet her in person!”After Deng Qi left, Qin Zhongyue pushed the shelled peanuts over to Xie Zhongxing and complained, “This hotel doesn’t even send over shelled peanuts and we have to shell it ourselves. That’s too much.”Xie Zhongxing picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Qin Zhongyue nodded and asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”Xie Zhongxing, “…..No.”Qin Zhongyue said with some disappointment, “Okay.”After Xie Zhongxing left, Qin Zhongyue continued to shell the peanuts. Once he was done with them, he then moved onto the sunflower seeds. All of them were placed neatly on a small plate.He’s slow. Xie Zhongxing couldn’t possibly have some problems with his urination, could he?The doctor didn’t mention anything about that.Qin Zhongyue raised his head and just happened to be met with a flash of light. After being blinded for a moment, he was finally able to see the girl’s face.She seems to be called Zhang Xinyue? She was the class’s art committee representative and he had helped her before with cleaning the higher parts of the blackboard.Qin Zhongyue got up and went over, “Did you secretly take a photo of me just now?”Zhang Xingyue hurriedly denied, “No, you saw wrong.”Qin Zhongyue continued seriously, “Do you know that secretly taking photos of others is against the law?”Zhang Xinyue stubbornly insisted, “I really didn’t….”Qin Zhongyue, “Give me the phone.”He grabbed Zhang Xinyue’s phone. With his height, he wasn’t affected by Zhang Xinyue’s struggles and was able to quickly find the album and open it.Qin Zhongyue’s eyes widened, “You secretly took photos of Xie Zhongxing?!”Zhang Xinyue’s face turned pale. She could barely raise her head.Qin Zhongyue quickly scrolled through it. He then sat down next to her and tried to negotiate, “Here, add me as friend. Send me all the photos of Xie Zhongxing.”Zhang Xingyue, “…….”
