Even if she really found Fu Xiao Qing in the future and threw a photo in front of Ho Qi Jun, I doubted that Ho Qi Jun would instinctively ask, “Who is this?”
“…Well, that’s not entirely true.” Lin Wei, with a guilty conscience, helped his boyfriend who quickly fell for someone else slightly save face.
“Just keep your eyes shut!” the system declared its distaste for the sour smell of romance!
In fact, although Ho Qi Jun had not yet forgotten what Fu Xiao Qing looked like, when Old Madam Ho once again brought up that name with a tone of disappointment, an absurd emotion rose in him.
It felt as if he had already graduated high school long ago and was just waiting for summer vacation to end so he could report to university, and suddenly, his mother was concerned about him, sternly asking if he had finished his elementary school summer homework…
Even more absurd was that, because he couldn’t produce the completed elementary homework, his mother was brewing to give him a ‘loving beating’ out of concern. Explanation would not work; he could only endure it.
When Lin Wei arrived, the mother and son had, as expected, ended up in a deadlock, but just as Lin Wei had guessed earlier, Old Madam Ho’s attitude towards him was decent. She wouldn’t genuinely dislike someone who unconditionally helped her son, let alone do something foolish like chasing such support away from her son.
“Aunt, Ah Qi has this temperament; please bear with him, don’t let it affect your health,” Lin Wei said, smiling as he walked over, instinctively defending Ho Qi Jun, resulting in him appearing less like a stranger than Ho Qi Jun’s own mother.
Old Madam Ho paused momentarily, and for an instant, Ho Qi Jun, whose face had been gloomy, couldn’t hold back and let out a low laugh.
“He’s right; I do have this temperament. Mom, please be more understanding!” he deliberately curled up the corners of his mouth and repeated.
Old Madam Ho snorted in response, unfazed. She only retained a slight sentiment in her heart to go through the motions, after all, she had never expected her stubborn son would genuinely soften up. As long as Ho Qi Jun refused to disclose Fu Xiao Qing’s whereabouts, she would never let it go easily.
Since the goal had been achieved, there was nothing left to keep; she simply said, “Take care of yourself,” and got up to leave.
Lin Wei still wanted to escort her out but was grasped by Ho Qi Jun.
“No matter how polite you are with her, her stubbornness won’t change one bit.” Ho Qi Jun understood this deeply and didn’t want Lin Wei to waste his feelings.
“I’m polite to her simply because she’s your mother,” Lin Wei replied sincerely. He had never thought to change anything by pleasing Old Madam Ho. The original work had already provided that answer—she would have to accept Ho Qi Jun ‘ruining’ his marriage and life, unless she died.
Yet, Ho Qi Jun heard something else in those words. Wasn’t this a subtle confession from Lin Wei?
At that moment, only the two of them were left in the living room. Ho Qi Jun thought this and naturally became distracted. He simply pulled Lin Wei over to sit beside him, his long legs crossed over, sitting in a pile together.
This was clearly a position much more intimate than sharing a bed; when Lin Wei was pulled onto the sofa, he put up little resistance, entirely caught off guard that Ho Qi Jun would sit directly in his lap, practically landing in his embrace.
The system cursed and logged off again.
Ho Qi Jun, initially just wanting to show off, hadn’t expected this position to be so… so close that their faces were almost touching, causing his heart to race, losing the relaxed composure from earlier.
“Hey, you…” Ho Qi Jun tried to find words: “When did you… um…”
He wanted to ask Lin Wei when he started to like him, but halfway through, he realized that Lin Wei had never explicitly admitted he liked him. Though anyone with eyes could see it, to ask that felt like self-indulgence.
“Forget it…” He dropped the question!
Ho Qi Jun felt slightly embarrassed and angry; having a boyfriend who silently cared for him without vocalizing it was a unique annoyance, far from being unaware of his own fortune!
Lin Wei watched his rapidly changing expressions and found him quite cute, as if all his thoughts were written on his face, effortlessly visible to him.
He tightened the hand resting on Ho Qi Jun’s waist: “If you want to ask something, just ask!”
Saying that made Lin Wei a bit startled at how willing he was to indulge the other.
If Ho Qi Jun asked again, he might genuinely tell him that he might have liked him since their past life. While the two types of liking were not the same concept, if he really said that to Ho Qi Jun, it could only mean that his current liking had become the one Ho Qi Jun wanted.
Different paths can meet at the same destination, so they could be mixed together.
Even a thousand excuses couldn’t compare to the honesty of wanting to coax him at that moment.
“Aren’t you going to ask?”
“………..”
Seeing Ho Qi Jun silent, Lin Wei smiled and pulled him closer again, this time even their breaths intertwined.
Chapter 28
“……Hmm?”
Ho Qi Jun, easily lured by Lin Wei’s rare initiative, didn’t hear clearly what he had said.
Thankfully, those who are cherished forever possess the immunity of not needing to wait for words. Lin Wei sighed lightly and said, “I can’t specify a timeframe, but I can tell you, I’ve always liked you, always.”
Regardless of the type of love, it would only be the kind Ho Qi Jun wanted in the future.
It’s strange, Ho Qi Jun had always understood that Lin Wei had a crush on him, but when those words of love truly came from Lin Wei’s lips, the surprise in that moment still turned into a fine current, making his heart fiercely race, sending blood flowing through every nook and cranny of his body.
He was tempted to ask why he hadn’t said it sooner, but Ho Qi Jun couldn’t voice it. He didn’t know what Lin Wei felt watching him chase after Fu Xiao Qing, having to restrain himself from treating him as a hypothetical rival and clean up after him, creating opportunities. What was Lin Wei feeling while doing all those things back then?
However, if he really brought up Fu Xiao Qing in such a situation, it would be hopelessly silly. Fortunately, Ho Qi Jun wasn’t emotionally clueless to that extent.
So in the end, he just smiled softly and asked:
