TFS | Chapter 41

The next morning, Xu Linruan was woken up again by that little horny dog kissing her. Fine, kiss her if he wanted, but his hand was wandering everywhere too, slowly sliding upward from her waist.

Xu Linruan let him poke and knead her for a long time, and in the end she could not take it anymore. She slapped that handsome face directly. He must have been hit hard, because that little horny dog finally behaved for a while.

That guy had been making trouble with her for ages last night. Because she had not satisfied his wish, he had pouted and sulked for a long time, tugging at her and rubbing against her until he was finally done.

She had also stayed up too late, so she could not get up in the morning and had not gone to work. Since this guy kept clinging to her, she could only make time to keep him company.

Qi Xiaoyue rubbed his aching face, felt wronged for a bit, then went right back to acting like nothing had happened. Refusing to give up, he stuck himself to her again. “Ruanruan, I’ve noticed you’ve changed.”

Xu Linruan could not help rolling her eyes at him. “Is that so? How have I changed?”

He put on an act and sized her up, then covered his palm over her chest, kneading and pinching it. “This part has changed. It’s gotten a lot bigger. It doesn’t feel the same as before, and it feels even better to touch.”

“…”

Xu Linruan could not hold back anymore. She kicked him straight down to the floor beside the bed. He had been gone for so long, but this little brat really had not changed at all. He still spent all day thinking about taking advantage of her.

The young master did not get angry even after getting kicked. He rubbed his miserable, disaster-prone butt and was still thinking about climbing back onto the bed. Unfortunately for him, his wife was not giving him another chance this time. She got up and went straight into the bathroom to shower.

…

Seeing her go inside, Qi Yue’s lips curved a little. He turned, took her phone out of the bag, saved his new contact information first, then leaned against the bed and started going through her chat records, every one of them with women, including the chats between Xu Zhou and her.

He saw that Xu Zhou had sent her quite a few messages. Some were a little ambiguous, though still understandable. Most of them were about using his name to ask her out for meals…

The man’s expression turned colder. His fingers kept sliding downward, and then he checked her call history, photo album, and some private file records, looking through everything.

“Qi Xiaoyue, help me get my clothes.”

His girlfriend’s voice came from the bathroom, a little alluring.

The young master immediately tossed the phone aside and ran over to the wardrobe in a flurry. After rummaging around randomly, he found a set of white doctor’s scrubs and handed them over.

He still could not let go and kept staring at the frosted glass bathroom door. Because the glass was frosted, he could not see anything clearly, only the faint outline of his wife’s lovely figure. Qi Xiaoyue rubbed his nose and felt like he was getting a little worked up.

He pressed close to the glass and asked softly, “Wifey, do you need anything else?”

“Heh, I need you to get lost and stay far away,” Xu Linruan said. Her peripheral vision landed on the clothes he had handed her. He had brought her a set of white doctor’s scrubs. What was that supposed to mean, role-playing?

Tch, as expected, he really was a pervert.

Sure enough, when she came out, she saw that shameless bastard lying on the sofa in a half-dead state. He had even thoughtfully taken a towel and pressed it to his forehead, then undone a button to reveal part of his fair chest.

“Doctor big sister, I think I might be a little sick.”

It had to be said, Qi Xiaoyue was already excited. Seeing his wife in that outfit, his little brother immediately perked up, okay? Especially when she lifted her eyelids and gave him a sideways glance with that icy attitude, he really wanted to pounce on her, rip her clothes apart, and swallow her whole.

He got into the act very quickly. Xu Linruan walked over and asked him seriously, “Is that so? What kind of illness?”

Qi Xiaoyue blinked his watery eyes and took her hand, pressing it against his forehead. “I think I might have a fever. Feel my forehead. Isn’t it hot?”

She touched the young master’s forehead with her fingers and said coldly, “A heat, huh? Let me see. It does seem a little hot.”

Qi Xiaoyue absolutely loved the way she looked down at him from on high. He wanted nothing more than to drag her off her pedestal, pin her to the bed, and do this and that to her a hundred times.

“Then what should I do, Doctor big sister?” The young master clutched her fingers and acted spoiled with a pitiful look. “I don’t want to die yet. Doctor sister, please save me, okay?”

Xu Linruan pulled her hand free without expression. “Don’t worry, you won’t die. I’ve been a doctor for so many years, so I’m very experienced. This illness is easy. One shot and it’ll be fine. Come on, stick your butt up. I’ve got the tools here.”

Qi Xiaoyue thought that sounded wrong. He looked up and saw that she really had taken out a syringe from the medical kit, and his expression stiffened a little. “Isn’t this… a little too thick? Doctor sister, I’m afraid if you jab it in with one shot, I’ll probably end up paralyzed from the waist down.”

Xu Linruan patted his shoulder, her tone very gentle. “What are you afraid of? Doctor sister has trained before, my hand is very steady. One shot and paralysis from the waist down probably won’t happen, but your little brother will likely behave for a while.”

Qi Xiaoyue hurriedly sat up and caught her hand as it kept moving closer. “No, sister. My little brother has been holding back for a long time already. If it doesn’t get used soon, it’ll probably start rusting. Doctor sister, take a look at it for me. Why does it keep being swollen? Is it sick too?”

That shameless bastard really was beyond saving.

Xu Linruan glanced down at it with a blank face and said in a professional tone, “This should be a case of limb stiffness caused by excessive excitement. I think it’s beyond saving. It’ll probably need to be amputated.”

“…”

A bead of cold sweat broke out on Qi Xiaoyue’s forehead. This was not at all how he had imagined it. There was no affectionate scene like the one he had pictured, and instead his girlfriend wanted to amputate him. If she really amputated it, then what? Would the happiness of his lower half be completely over?

The young master shamelessly pressed against her palm and started pleading. “No, no amputation. If it’s amputated, it won’t be complete anymore. I want Doctor sister to treat me a bit, just treat me with your hands, that’s enough…”

Xu Linruan narrowed her eyes and smiled. “No. If it’s not amputated, it won’t fully heal. There might be even more serious problems later. Be good, don’t be afraid. Sister will be very gentle and won’t hurt you.”

“…”

Qi Xiaoyue listened to that and felt like something was very off. What did she mean, gentle, what did she mean, won’t hurt him? He was already grown up, wasn’t he? Could it be that he was still the one on the bottom?

Just after she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

The young master immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought, This little life has been saved. Finally, no need to keep fussing over amputation anymore.

Xu Linruan stood up and was about to see who had come looking for her, but before she even reached the door, someone grabbed her around the waist from behind and bumped her into that guy’s chest.

Qi Xiaoyue took the chance to pinch his wife’s slender waist and smiled smugly. “I’ll get it. You go change first.”

How could his wife dressed like this be seen by anyone else? She was his wife, his alone. No one else was allowed to look at her.

Qi Xiaoyue walked to the door and unlocked it. Standing outside was his old good brother, Xu Zhou.

His hand paused. He looked up at the man and lifted a brow without a trace of emotion, his expression calm. Then he broke into a smiling look.

“Oh, it’s you, Xu Zhou. Why are you here?”

If it had been before, the young master would have beaten up any ill-intentioned bastard without a second thought.

But after staying out there for so long, at least he knew that impulsiveness did not solve problems. Instead, it would only make him lose the upper hand.

So the arrogant, domineering young master had learned to hide his attitude. For this guy who was trying to pry open his wall corner, he had no intention of tearing things apart just yet.

After all, they had grown up playing together. If Xu Zhou was sensible, then now that he knew he was back, he should keep his distance. If he was not sensible, then he could not blame him for being unsparing.

Xu Zhou was clearly stunned too. He stared at Qi Yue for a long while, and after confirming that he had not seen wrong, that the guy in front of him really was him, he said, “Qi Yue, you… didn’t die?”

After not seeing each other for so long, the guy in front of him seemed to have matured quite a bit. His features had grown much more composed, and his gaze had become sharper when looking at people.

The young master lazily lifted a brow, leaning against the doorframe with one long leg slightly bent. His tone was half teasing, half serious. “Yeah. It took a huge amount of effort to come back. Aren’t you happy for me?”

Xu Zhou reacted quickly. After coming back to his senses, he collected himself and smiled at him. “Of course. I’m very happy that you came back. You and Ruanruan…”

Before he could finish, he heard the girl inside the door call out, “Qi Xiaoyue, hurry up and tidy the bed. What are you dawdling at the door for? Who’s outside?”

He saw the man in front of him immediately turn around and softly comfort her. “Coming, coming. No one, it’s someone here to see me. We’re almost done talking. Hey, why did you come over? Go back, go back. If you go out dressed like that, what if someone sees you?”

“Heh, I wonder who it was that brought me the clothes. Now you’re pretending to be anxious?”

Qi Xiaoyue shut the door, then in one swift motion pulled a bath towel off the sofa and wrapped it around his girlfriend. “How could that be the same? Just wear it for me at home. Anyway, you’re not allowed to go out when there are outsiders around.”

He wrapped her up tightly before finally feeling satisfied, then turned and opened the door again, sticking out half his body as he said, “Good brother, you know that Ruanruan and I haven’t seen each other for so long. Right now she’s clinging to me pretty hard. Anyway, you should head back first. I’ll treat you to a meal next time when I’m free.”

After speaking, he tugged at his collar and gave the man a knowing look, then deliberately revealed the ambiguous marks on his neck. Anyone could tell at a glance what the two of them had done last night.

Xu Zhou’s expression grew colder. He watched the man shut the door and stood there for a long time.

Even though it was May and the sun was bright, he felt as if his body had gone cold. His chest felt hollowed out by something, carrying a dull, stifling pain.

Only when he went to the hospital to look for her during the day did he find out that she had taken leave today. He had originally thought she was sick, so he had pushed aside his morning work and rushed over in a hurry.

He had really not expected Qi Yue to come back. He had not died. He had returned whole and unharmed.

Xu Zhou’s expression was unreadable. He took a cigarette from his pocket. Only after hearing the sounds of laughter and scolding coming from inside the door did he turn and walk back.

It was really too grating.

He felt restless. Clearly the one who had always stayed by her side was him, wasn’t it? Why did that guy get to come back and easily take everything back just like that?
