As soon as they left the crowd behind, Qi Qing rebuked Jiang Qiaqia, \u201cWhy did you start talking nonsense? Don\u2019t you understand the gravity of our situation?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Jiang Qiaqia couldn\u2019t understand why Lin Jingzhe suddenly took offense to what she said. \u201cWhat nonsense did I say?\u201d she asked, feeling wronged. \u201cI was just trying to help you get close to him!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Qing thought back to the conversation, but he couldn\u2019t figure out the reason either. Jiang Qiaqia\u2019s words had hardly been disrespectful\u2014they were just regular, run-of-the-mill flattery. Even if they had been not to his liking, it didn\u2019t stand to reason for Lin Jingzhe to get so offended.<\/span><\/p>

In the past, at this point, his anger would have already faded away\u2014after all, Jiang Qiaqia\u2019s aggrieved face used to always disarm him and make him abandon his principles. However, their close, affectionate relationship had long been worn down by the troubles and difficulties in Qunnan. In the end, Qiqing Real Estate failed to survive the trial by fire, and the two abandoned everything and fled Qunnan Province.<\/span><\/p>

Deep inside, Qi Qing felt resentment towards Jiang Qiaqia. If it weren\u2019t for her, he never would\u2019ve had anything to do with that official who got exposed for corruption\u2014not only had they gotten no benefits from him, but this supposed \u201cbacker\u201d ended up pulling them down with him.<\/span><\/p>

Therefore, he became more and more impatient with Jiang Qiaqia. The way Lin Jingzhe gave him the cold shoulder just now made him feel completely humiliated, and he took his anger out on his wife,: \u201cThen you shouldn\u2019t have been so dumb as to compare Lin Jingzhe to your brother! Who would\u2019ve felt flattered being compared to that younger brother of yours!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Jiang Qiaqia stared at him in shock. She couldn\u2019t comprehend how the elegant, well-mannered, and charming man could become someone so mean and spiteful.<\/span><\/p>

From Qunnan to Changqing, she always stayed by Qi Qing\u2019s side despite suffering many hardships; she couldn\u2019t even remember how long she hadn\u2019t had a good rest. Although outwardly, she looked as gentle and agreeable as before, her patience was no less frayed than Qi Qing\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>

After Lin Runsheng stopped paying her child support, her finances abruptly became tight. Thousands of yuan a month, suddenly gone! Without this money, her quality of life deteriorated tremendously, forcing her to endure all kinds of discomforts and inconveniences. This wasn\u2019t the life she had dreamed of!<\/span><\/p>

Even Qi Qing became more and more unkind to her.<\/span><\/p>

As such, Jiang Qiaqia, who ordinarily always knew when to push and when to retreat, couldn\u2019t control her temper: \u201cWhat exactly do you mean by this, Qi Qing? Are you looking down on my family?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

For years, she\u2019d been trying to cut off all relations with her blood relatives for fear the Qi family would turn their noses up at her because of them. However, everything she had feared had finally happened despite her doing everything to avoid it! That her mother-in-law, the sanctimonious old hag, was always acting snidely towards her was one thing, but now this man who repeated over and over that he loved her was behaving this way towards her too?<\/span><\/p>

She followed him to Changqing, enduring snubs and disdainful attitudes as they tried to revive their business, only to get this kind of treatment from him?!<\/span><\/p>

The couple both harbored hidden resentment towards each other. As it often happened these days, they began to quarrel regardless of the original subject of their disagreement.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wang Quan watched them from the distance, his expression a bit unsightly. Qi Qing and his families were distantly related; if it weren\u2019t for this, he never would\u2019ve let the man accompany him out several times to get acquainted with Changqing Province\u2019s leaders. Since Qi Qing\u2019s real estate company in Qunnan went bankrupt, in the spirit of looking out for relatives, Wang Quan had intended to help him start over. Taking advantage of Changqing\u2019s development, Qi Qing and Jiang Qiaqia would be able to make a sure and steady comeback. From the looks of it, however, his little business in Changqing Province was not good enough for them, huh? They seemed to have got some big ambitions!<\/span><\/p>

Inwardly angry and upset, Wang Quan said goodbye to Dai Gaofeng and the others and stepped inside the coach to apologize to Lin Jingzhe. \u201cPlease don\u2019t take offense, Mr. Lin. I\u2019m very sorry for those two. They came from the province and don\u2019t understand the rules.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

A bit upset, Lin Jingzhe was staring outside the bus window. He turned his head to glance at Wang Quan and asked, \u201cDo you have a smoke?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Wang Quan hurriedly offered him one. Lin Jingzhe opened the window and took a puff, then patted the seat beside him, motioning for the older man to sit down.<\/span><\/p>

Wang Quan\u2019s cigarettes were an imported brand and had a strong flavor. In this life, Lin Jingzhe\u2019s body was not used to smoking, and he felt light-headed for a moment. He exhaled and closed his eyes, the tension slowly draining out of him. Hanging an arm out the window, he relaxed in his seat, a smile again appearing on his face. \u201cWhy would I be offended? It\u2019s fine. By the way, I\u2019ve heard you\u2019re in the manufacturing industry, Mr. Wang. What exactly do you produce?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe leaned against the window, his profile a bit hazy behind the cigarette smoke. Wang Quan stared at him in a daze, stunned by the young man\u2019s languid demeanor. A few seconds later, he came back to his senses and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s actually quite miscellaneous. Around ten years ago, I mainly owned clothing factories. A few years ago, I switched to making electrical appliances, mostly TVs, movie projectors, and the like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe raised his eyebrows. If Wang Quan had been in the electrical appliances for the past ten years, his profits must\u2019ve been staggering. At this point, that part of the domestic market was quite barren and offered almost limitless prospects; it seemed that in a few years, the other party\u2019s current net worth of 1 billion yuan would double several times.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe couldn\u2019t help but feel admiration for the man. In fact, he felt genuine respect for any capable person.<\/span><\/p>

While he was thinking, his hand hanging out of the window was caught.<\/span><\/p>

He turned his head to look down and faced Xiao Chi\u2019s sharp, calm eyes. The other man took the cigarette out of Lin Jingzhe\u2019s fingers, his actions and gaze silently expressing disapproval.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe\u2019s eyebrows rose. He stared Xiao Chi in the eye and smiled provocatively, then glanced back at Wang Quan, who was somewhat confused by this scene. \u201cDo you have another smoke?\u201d he asked.<\/span><\/p>

Without thinking, Wang Quan offered him the cigarette pack. Lin Jingzhe opened it, pulled out one, and lit it. He took a drag and blew a smoke ring at Xiao Chi, his lips curved into a half-smile.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi\u2019s eyebrows wrinkled.<\/span><\/p>

Wang Quan suddenly remembered Xiao Chi\u2019s several quirks and habits that Mayor Cao told him about, including the fact that the young man especially hated the smell of cigarette smoke. He hesitated, at a loss about what to do. Earlier, he heard that Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi seemed to be at odds; this appeared to be true as Lin Jingzhe\u2019s attitude was clearly unkind and Xiao Chi didn\u2019t seem to be in a happy mood either. The problem was, he didn\u2019t want to offend either of these two! What if Xiao Chi took his action of passing the cigarette pack to Lin Jingzhe as a deliberate provocation?<\/span><\/p>

When Xiao Chi\u2019s gaze left Lin Jingzhe and fell on him, his throat suddenly tightened. \u201cMr. Lin\u2026\u201d he called out weakly.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe turned to him with a smile. It was the same smile he faced Xiao Chi with, but somehow, Wang Quan felt it looked a little different. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Lin Jingzhe shook hands with him, saying affably, \u201cThank you for the smoke, Mr. Wang, it tastes very good. I hope we\u2019ll have an opportunity to cooperate some time in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cCertainly!\u201d Wang Quan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Perplexed by the current strange atmosphere, he left Lin Jingzhe his business card and hurried away.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Qi Kai\u2019s absence on the way back drew the alliance members\u2019 attention to him, and they flocked together to gossip, occupying the front seats of the bus.<\/span><\/p>

On the trip to Changqing, Dai Gaofeng arranged for Lin Jingzhe to sit in the first row, but this time, the youth chose to sit in the back. Xiao Chi immediately followed and sat next to him. With the strange atmosphere between these two, the back half of the bus pretty much became a no man\u2019s land; no one, Dai Gaofeng included, was willing to risk getting caught in the crossfire just to watch the excitement up close.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi\u2019s frown when he got in the coach had been too intimidating!<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe opened the window and leaned towards it to enjoy the breeze, the lit cigarette that he\u2019d barely smoked dangling between his fingers. The warm wind immediately rushed inside, whipping against his face. Xiao Chi took the cigarette from his hand and extinguished it in the small trash bin at the side of the seat, then reached out and closed the window.<\/span><\/p>

With the last unwilling whistle, the roaring wind was shut outside again. Lin Jingzhe turned his head and looked at him quietly.<\/span><\/p>

They stared at each other. They could hear the murmur of conversations, but it was coming from the front of the bus, and the nearest person sat three rows away from them.<\/span><\/p>

The vestige of cigarette smoke lingered in their noses. Not knowing who moved first, they pulled together for a brief kiss.<\/span><\/p>

When their lips parted, Xiao Chi tilted his head to whisper in Lin Jingzhe\u2019s ear, \u201cIt smells awful and tastes bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe gave him a sidelong glance\u2014<\/span>hypocritical much<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/p>

He lowered the backrest and half-laid down, narrowing his eyes in a faint smile. Despite professing to hate his smell, Xiao Chi immediately chased after him, leaning down to capture his lips in a kiss.<\/span><\/p>

Even the disgusting smell of smoke couldn\u2019t quench the fire burning in Xiao Chi\u2019s chest. He put an arm around Lin Jingzhe\u2019s waist, his hand sneaking into the youth\u2019s clothes and roaming over his skin. Lin Jingzhe gasped softly. He reached out to hold down the misbehaving hand, giving an admonishing bite to the tongue ravaging his mouth. Confronted with the grievance in the other man\u2019s eyes that even their usual sharpness couldn\u2019t conceal, he hugged Xiao Chi\u2019s neck, sliding his fingers into his hair. Because of the hair gel, they were not nearly as soft and fluffy as in the morning. \u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d he whispered warningly, his fingers gently rubbing Xiao Chi\u2019s scalp.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi looked into his eyes, then his gaze fell lower, drawn to the moist lips. \u201cKissing you,\u201d he murmured.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe sneered. \u201cDoesn\u2019t it taste bad?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt does.\u201d When Xiao Chi leaned down, the clean woody scent of his body filled Lin Jingzhe\u2019s nose. Just before touching Lin Jingzhe\u2019s lips, he paused to whisper, \u201cDon\u2019t smoke again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe opened his lips, accepting him. In consideration of their surroundings, he tried to control the kiss to keep it relatively light. The tip of Xiao Chi\u2019s nose was touching his cheek, and his hand was entangled in Lin Jingzhe\u2019s hair, pushing it back and exposing his forehead. His tongue explored Lin Jingzhe\u2019s mouth, clumsy and forceful, with the most instinctive and sincere enthusiasm. Lin Jingzhe liked Xiao Chi\u2019s taste and smell, and the strength of his body. The palms kneading his waist radiated heat; it made him feel as if he was completely under the other man\u2019s control, yielding and relying on him.<\/span><\/p>

Those hands gradually became a little too unruly. Lin Jingzhe grabbed a handful of Xiao Chi\u2019s hair and turned his head to avoid the man\u2019s hungry mouth. \u201cHey!\u201d he protested, panting, his eyes misty.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi shifted slightly lower, his eyes never leaving Lin Jingzhe\u2019s. His Adam\u2019s apple bobbing as he swallowed, he took his hand from under Lin Jingzhe\u2019s shirt and eagerly explored downwards\u2014<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe\u2019s tight muscles softened at once. He bounced up, half-rising from the reclined seat, then tried to curl up. He gripped Xiao Chi\u2019s wrist, attempting to pull his hand away, but soon stopped resisting.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi kissed his cheek, his temple, and the tip of his nose, then his mouth found Lin Jingzhe\u2019s lips.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe\u2019s legs convulsed, and his hands clenched in Xiao Chi\u2019s hair. Later, he simply buried his head against the other man\u2019s neck, biting and nibbling on his skin.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When he got out of the coach, Lin Jingzhe\u2019s legs were a little wobbly. Xiao Chi steadied him, then immediately returned to his usual indifferent appearance.<\/span><\/p>

By the time they returned to Yan City, it was late enough that the sky was already dark. \u201cYou must be tired, you didn\u2019t sleep well last night,\u201d Dai Gaofeng said embarrassedly. \u201cThe arrangements we made were quite negligent this time. You should hurry back home and rest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe smiled and nodded in reply, and Dai Gaofeng\u2019s gaze moved to the other party who shouldn\u2019t have rested well last night. The lights in the parking lot, amplified by the coach\u2019s lights, made the surroundings bright enough that he noticed something strange. \u201cWhat\u2019s that on your neck?\u201d he asked, staring at Xiao Chi\u2019s neck in bemusement.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi was passing the prayer beads that never left his person through his fingers, his calm and detached attitude no different from usual. \u201cHuh?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Dai Gaofeng felt even more ashamed. What was it with the arrangements for this trip?! As if the room blunder wasn\u2019t enough, even the interior of the bus was so unsanitary that Xiao Chi\u2019s neck was full of red and blue marks. \u201cThere may be bugs in the coach. Later, I\u2019ll have someone disinfect it immediately,\u201d he exclaimed.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi glanced at Lin Jingzhe. Lin Jingzhe calmly looked back\u2014dare to blame him?<\/span><\/p>

Deng Mai drove the car out of the parking lot, then got out and opened the door for Lin Jingzhe. \u201cBig Bro, let\u2019s go home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe nodded and shot Xiao Chi a meaningful look. Under Dai Gaofeng and Deng Mai\u2019s puzzled gazes, the two walked a bit away to a more secluded place. With no one close enough to see, Xiao Chi touched Lin Jingzhe\u2019s cheek. \u201cMy place?\u201d he asked softly, his thumb caressing Lin Jingzhe\u2019s lips.<\/span><\/p>

It wasn\u2019t that he didn\u2019t have certain vague thoughts.<\/span><\/p>

What the hell?<\/span><\/em> Lin Jingzhe thought. \u201cNo,\u201d he replied.<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi stepped closer and put an arm around his waist, pressing their lower bodies together, and kissed him gently.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe swept his fingers across Xiao Chi\u2019s Adam\u2019s apple and chuckled, amused by the other man\u2019s silent demonstration of unwillingness. \u201cI\u2019m going back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xiao Chi\u2019s hands slid lower and squeezed his buns.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe pinched his earlobe. \u201cLet go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Instead, Xiao Chi tightened his arms around him, almost lifting him off the ground.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe couldn\u2019t get free. Left with no choice, he reached down to a certain strategic place and squeezed hard.<\/span><\/p>

Seized with sudden sharp pain, Xiao Chi immediately loosened his embrace and staggered back a few steps.<\/span><\/p>

He raised his head, but before he could say anything, something moved in the distance\u2014Dai Gaofeng was rushing over.<\/span><\/p>

In the dim light, Dai Gaofeng only saw that the two got close, then suddenly separated. Naturally, he thought they had some sort of conflict and hurried over to stop it. \u201cXiao Chi! Mr. Lin!\u201d he called out nervously as he approached.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe let out a cough and finally looked at Xiao Chi. Seeing that the man\u2019s gaze was fixed on him, and the expression in his eyes was still the same as earlier, he decided to take his leave: \u201cLet me excuse myself, then. I wish you a good night.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGoodnight, please be careful on the way back,\u201d Dai Gaofeng replied politely. He watched the youth leave, then turned to Xiao Chi, casting him a reproving look. \u201cYou, really! Just because of a mistake with rooms!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

What did he mean? Xiao Chi was baffled. Almost all of his attention was focused on Lin Jingzhe\u2019s disappearing back, however, so he only perfunctorily grunted in reply.<\/span><\/p>

Ahhhh, it\u2019s over! Now you have done it!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Had Dai Gaofeng known what kind of bad experience this trip would turn out to be, he would\u2019ve never invited Lin Jingzhe. Now, there was actually enmity between these two!<\/span><\/p>

On the way back, Lin Jingzhe leaned against the car window, lost in thought. The car radio played Deng Mai\u2019s favorite new Cantonese song, which the future generations would be very familiar with. The husky voice of the female singer echoed in the car, seeming to whisper in your ear.<\/span><\/p>

Deng Mai let out a long breath, loosening up. \u201cThe trip is finally over, Big Bro. Let\u2019s not go back to Yan University tonight, okay? Let\u2019s go home and have a good rest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe hummed an agreement. \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

This trip widened Deng Mai\u2019s horizons quite a lot, and he found many plots of land in Changqing City to be very promising. The current him was able to consider things more deeply and from more angles than in the past. He drove, humming softly to the song, until he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Lin Jingzhe\u2019s eyes were closed. Immediately, he reached for the volume knob and turned the radio down.<\/span><\/p>

Asleep already?<\/span><\/p>

Big Bro really worked hard, Deng Mai thought.<\/span><\/p>

Lin Jingzhe\u2019s eyes were closed, but he wasn\u2019t asleep. Rather, he was thinking about what happened in the coach.<\/span><\/p>

He couldn\u2019t believe it really happened. It was like madness, as if the spark suddenly started a wildfire that set everything ablaze and was impossible to put out.<\/span><\/p>

He had had a good time, but currently, what he had was a headache. What exactly was Xiao Chi and his relationship now?<\/span><\/p>

What happened seemed to have been just an impulse, nothing more than a sudden physical urge. Having never experienced anything like this before, Lin Jingzhe couldn\u2019t figure out how everything happened.<\/span><\/p>

He raised a hand to massage the bridge of his nose, and his fingers accidentally touched his eyelid. The warmth left behind by Xiao Chi\u2019s kiss seemed to still linger on it.<\/span><\/p>

Were they in a romantic relationship? This didn\u2019t seem to be the case.<\/span><\/p>

At most, it could be described as two men helping each other solve physical needs\u2026 right?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
