Chapter 34
“Wei Han, do you like Chu Chuanyao so much?”
Qi Zhifan’s deep eyes were brewing with turbulent waves, as if they’d swallow Wei Han in the next second.
“Qi Zhifan, calm...calm down. What happened to you all of a sudden?”
Wei Han was pressed and a little uncomfortable. Qi Zhifan’s body was like a fire closely affixed to him.
“Answer me. Do you not see anyone else except Chu Chuanyao?”
Seeing Qi Zhifan uncharacteristically not letting him off and unyielding in his questioning, Wei Han’s scalp went numb. “No, I...I, I...”
Not letting Wei Han continue, Qi Zhifan lowered his head and blocked his mouth with a kiss. Startled, Wei Han suddenly widened his eyes.
Qi Zhifan frantically sucked and bit Wei Han’s soft lips. Following right after, he immediately pried open Wei Han’s lips and drove his tongue straight in, gently sweeping over his gums, and then chasing, licking and sucking his tongue, constantly deepening this overbearing kiss.
Wei Han intensely felt Qi Zhifan’s heavy breath chaotically sweeping over his face, but also the shameful wet noises drilled into his eardrums. His heart beat very fast, as if it’d jump out at any time.
Seeing Wei Han’s face reddened and nearly unable to breathe, Qi Zhifan finally let go of Wei Han’s lips. But he didn’t let go of Wei Han. Instead, he bit his ear, nimble tongue wandering in the hollow of his ear and between his neck, teasing back and forth.
Finally, Qi Zhifan even spread open Wei Han’s shirt collar and nipped his collarbone. Wei Han was scared. With a burst of trembling, he reached out and pushed away Qi Zhifan, who was pressed on him.
In only a split second, Qi Zhifan’s actions stopped. Then, he slowly stood up because he’d felt Wei Han’s rejection.
“Wei Han, can we only be brothers between us?”
Qi Zhifan asked with a faint expression, but in the depths of his eyes was a thread of disappointment and powerlessness. free(w)ebnovel.com
“......”
At this moment, Wei Han was completely dumbfounded. His brain had blanked, simply unable to think at all. After all, he’d just suffered the greatest impact: many “firsts” were taken away just like that.
Seeing Wei Han remained silent, Qi Zhifan gave two bitter laughs, and then “thump“, he closed the door and left the house, not returning that night.
This day, Wei Han was helping Mother Wei at the flower shop. In the last few days, Mother Wei had always looked miserable because of her two sons’ matter, and was somewhat distressed.
“Han-han, tell me, is Fan-fan in his rebellious period? He’s actually willing to leave our warm home and move out alone; it makes me so sad. Was it because I did something bad?”
“Mom, don’t think too much, you’re fine. And at his age, Qi Zhifan has already had his rebellious period long ago. Him moving out should...should be for his own reasons,” Wei Han comforted. When he thought of Qi Zhifan, his chest felt somewhat unbearably stifled.
Wei Han remembered that day, after the abnormal Qi Zhifan had pressed him on the sofa and did those mess of things, he’d never returned home.
Later, Qi Hao had called and asked, only to learn that he was living outside. He had asked for the reason, and Qi Zhifan also casually gave a few perfunctory words: saying that he was going to take an internship and that it would be more convenient to live outside.
Seeing that his son hadn’t wanted to say more, Qi Hao also hadn’t asked more. Unlike his father, he’d always believed that Qi Zhifan had his own judgment and he would respect it.
“Ai, that’s true.” After listening to Wei Han’s words, Mother Wei nodded her head. Suddenly, she pointed to Wei Han and suspiciously said, “Han-han, is it possible that you often bully Fan-fan, and then he was heartbroken and left home?”
“You’ve wronged me, mom. How would I dare to bully him?” Wei Han shook his head.
He’d only been bullied by Odd Trouble, okay?
Although at the beginning when Wei Han had come to this family, as his older brother, he’d really wanted to bully him and abuse him, but in the end, he was unable to mess with Odd Trouble. Instead, he was pitted again and again, adding to the countless foolish, black history ah.
“...Okay. Ai, Han-han, are you lovesick?” Mother Wei asked, concerned about her big son.
“Lovesick?” Wei Han stared blankly and softly said, “Probably, it can be considered that...”
It hadn’t been easy for him to determine that he liked Qi Zhifan. But that day, he seemed to have hurt Qi Zhifan, and then Qi Zhifan left like that, no longer keeping in contact with him.
Later, Wei Han sent a text message, but he hadn’t replied. Calling? Because that day was too embarrassing, Wei Han momentarily hadn’t dared to talk to Qi Zhifan, so he never dared to call. This caused Wei Han to stay on the three characters “Odd Trouble” in the address book for a good while everyday.
Looking at Wei Han’s dejected expression, Mother Wei patted him on the back. “Ai, I knew it would be like this. Else, without rhyme or reason, how could you take your head and have it shaved like a monk? Han-han, to tell the truth, when mother saw your bald head that day, my god, it was so ugly I almost didn’t dare to recognize.”
Wei Han: “......”
Mom, are you really my mother?
The hair wouldn’t grow long in a short time, so Wei Han had to borrow a lot of hats from Jiang Chengrui. Anyway, Jiang Chengrui had many hats, and Pei Yuyang would frequently send him the latest styles of hats. Picking some that hadn’t been worn, Jiang Chengrui simply gave them to Wei Han.
Every time he saw the pitiful black stubble on top of Wei Han’s head, Jiang Chengrui couldn’t help but reach out and touch it. “Silly Han ah, that day when you decided to get a haircut, did your head get mercilessly pressed by the door when you went out?”
Wei Han: “......”
That evening, Wei Han was on the internet. He wasn’t too eager to tell the people he knew about his emotional problems with Qi Zhifan, and believed that he could rely on the wisdom of the vast number of netizens to resolve this.
Searching for several same-sex dating sites, Wei Han casually clicked into one. The homepage had a variety of portrait shots, all were gay friends from every part of the country. The two sidebars also had high-energy films and large-scale photo galleries. The chat room also flashed in the lower right corner of the webpage. Once Wei Han saw this, his whole body tensed and couldn’t help but remember that day when he was overpowered by Qi Zhifan on the sofa, and then...
Your mom, bro’s obviously a gong ah!
After shaking his head, Wei Han clicked into the forum and found the board related to emotions. Then he prepared to post.
When registering his username, the two sock puppets, “Fuck Buddy Lord 366” and “Pastry Lord”, suddenly flashed in his mind. Thinking about those things that had happened before in S Uni’s BBS , it was a fucking shameful muddled accounts.
After a short while, Wei Han posted a message for help.
Stomach Very Hot Very Hot Ah: 【Help】I like my younger brother, what should I do?
In the post, Wei Han stated that he followed a remarried mother and entered a new family. He explained that he and Qi Zhifan were not related to each other, and he also briefly mentioned their former “love rival” relationship.
Also, recently he discovered that the person he liked wasn’t Chu Chuanyao, but Qi Zhifan, but Qi Zhifan suddenly ignored him and also left home.
After waiting for a few minutes, one by one, Wei Han received some messages.
1st post: Directly get on ♂!
2nd post: If you like then go chase. You must rely on yourself to fight for your own happiness!
3rd post: Fight for it as much as possible. Clearly ask him, does he like you or not? And, after all is said and done, can you come together in the end? You’d still need to go through a lot.
4th post: May the world’s love rivals become husbands!
5th post: Go after it! Don’t dilly-dally, are you a man or not?
Seeing everyone’s encouraging messages, Wei Han clenched his fist, suddenly brimming with confidence. Yeah, he wanted to brazenly confess! He vowed to make Qi Zhifan gasping and breathless under his body!
The next day was just the weekend. Wei Han specially wore a fairly stylish outfit and matched it up with a good hat. Then, he asked Mother Wei for the address and went over to where Qi Zhifan lived.
In S City, the different high-end villas were linked together. The black fence surrounding them isolated them from the outside world. The place where Qi Zhifan lived was very close to Pei Yuyang. Anyway, the people who lived here were all wealthy and respectable people.
Wei Han stood at the door, carrying the tiramisu he’d made in his hand, and rang the doorbell.
The doorbell had a video intercom. Wei Han was planning to make his identity known when the voice of a middle-aged uncle came out, “Is it Young Master Wei Han?”
Young master? Wei Han was foolish. He’d lived for so long, but this was the first time someone had called him “young master”.
Scratching his head, Wei Han was a little embarrassed. “Mhm, I am, but you can just call me ‘Wei Han’, I can’t afford to accept this ‘young master’.”
At that end, Butler Sun said gravely, “Apologies, but this does not conform to custom. Young Master Wei Han, please come in first.”
As soon as he entered the door, Butler Sun stationed inside smiled and welcomed Wei Han. Then, he led Wei Han through a rock garden courtyard to reach the entrance of the back court.
“Young Master Qi is inside,” Butler Sun pointed inside the house.
“Oh, thank you.”
Wei Han nodded at him and then he went in. Not long after he entered, a melodious piano sound drifted out. In the center of the first floor living room, there was a black grand piano. Qi Zhifan was playing a tune, and the little cousin, Wu Yunqi, was sitting by his side.
Looking at this situation, it was obvious that Qi Zhifan was teaching his little cousin to play the piano.
“I’m sorry to disturb you.”
Wei Han awkwardly said. Fuck, why was this little loli here? How can he still happily confess?
Qi Zhifan gave him a faint look. “Is there something? Brother.”
“......” Wei Han’s heart “ba-dump” and he was silly.
In Qi Zhifan’s mouth, this disharmonious and undiluted “brother” sound, made him blank. Wei Han was so frightened that he simply forgot the over hundreds of lines of confession in his heart. Suddenly, he couldn’t even say a single word.
“Is there something?” Qi Zhifan repeated, still expressionless.
“I...uh, I came to give you some food.”
Wei Han reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and lifted the tiramisu that he’d carried for a long time in his hands and put it on the table.
“Yunqi, go and eat.”
Ignoring Wei Han, Qi Zhifan turned to look at Wu Yunqi by his side.
“Mhm, okay.”
Wu Yunqi smiled and came over, giving Wei Han a meaningful look and whispering in his ear, “Hey, Wei Foxy Spirit, did you cause Brother Zhifan to be sad?”
“I don’t know.” Wei Han shook his head, only feeling sour inside.
Wu Yunqi sighed, suddenly smiled coldly and said, “Great. Brother Zhifan is very cold towards you. It seems like I still have a very good chance.”
At this time, Wei Han was simply deaf to what Wu Yunqi was saying. The destructive power of Qi Zhifan’s “brother” word was really too big, becoming a thick, invisible barrier that separated the two of them.
Not a moment later, Wei Han also didn’t want to invite a snub, so hanging his head, he returned home. He didn’t know that Qi Zhifan stood in front of the French window on the second floor to watch him leave.
“Hey, Ah Fan, exactly what are you thinking?” Pei Yuyang called after a few days.
“What do you mean?”
“What else can I mean ah, don’t play dumb. From you suddenly moving out to live alone to your recent attitude towards Wei Han, Ah Fan, what kind of medicine are you selling inside this bottle gourd?”
“What do you think?” Qi Zhifan hooked up his lips.
“This...” Pei Yuyang thought for a moment. “Could it because Wei Han is bald now, you’d be frightened early the next morning when you got out of bed, so you were so scared that you didn’t dare to stay at home?”
“Scram!”
“Haha, okay okay, I won’t joke.” After laughing, Pei Yuyang solemnly said, “Seriously, Curlie told me that Wei Han has been inattentive these few days, always in a daze. Ah Fan, don’t you like him? How come now...”
Qi Zhifan interrupted him, “This is called ‘playing hard to get’. Are you foolish?”
“......” Suddenly, Pei Yuyang was really foolish. The next second, he laughed, “Well, good Ah Fan, your black-bellied attribute has finally been exposed.”
