Chapter 102 - III
Xie Qi couldn’t hold back and handed him another one. The boy took it excitedly, his eyes red, and said to Xie Qi, “Brother, you are so kind to me. I want to repay you.”
Xie Qi asked with great interest, “How do you want to repay me?”
The boy said, “I will write about you in my composition, and give you this.”
As he spoke, he took out a necklace from his pocket. It was set with sapphires, the chain adorned with diamonds, and it sparkled with pearls.
Xie Qi smiled when he saw it. “Did you steal this necklace for your mother? I don’t dare to take it.”
The boy said with some guilt, “It’s not stolen. It’s a gift from my mother to my girlfriend.”
When Xie Qi saw his expression, he knew it was stolen, but he didn’t say anything further. After all, the boy was only seven years old. He didn’t understand certain things, and Xie Qi didn’t feel like lecturing him. He wasn’t the boy’s parent and didn’t have the habit of being a good teacher.
He declined the necklace, and the boy fell silent. After a while, the boy said, “Brother, you weren’t picking up trash on the street, were you?”
Xie Qi was puzzled. “Why would I pick up trash?”
The boy held it in for a moment before saying, “You have no money, so don’t you have to pick up trash?”
Xie Qi said, “Who told you I have no money? I’m very rich.”
The boy said, “That’s a lie. You have no money.”
He wasn’t stupid and didn’t tell Xie Qi that he knew he once came his house to ask for money. Feeling guilty, he didn’t dare to look at Xie Qi.
Xie Qi didn’t understand his logic and became a little impatient. He was always like this with people he didn’t know well. He simply stuffed the remaining bag of bread into the boy’s hands and said, “I’ll give these to you. Do you know how to get home? I won’t take you home. You can also ask along the way where the police station is.”
By doing this, Xie Qi felt he had done his part. After all, there wouldn’t be any danger in the heart of the city. If the boy’s parents caught him with their child, they might even think he was an abductor.
He smiled at the boy, his tone a little gentler. “I’m heading to school now. Be careful.”
After saying that, Xie Qi left.
The boy watched him leave eagerly, wanting to stop him, but his mouth was full of cake, and he couldn’t speak.
.
Meanwhile, Tao Gaofei finally found Xie Yunzheng in Century Plaza. She was furious but didn’t dare hit him. If Xie Dai found out, he would scold her too.
This wasn’t just her child; he was also her work and future. Personal emotions couldn’t interfere with that.
So, Tao Gaofei tried her best to smile and said to Xie Yunzheng, “Zhengzheng, do you know how dangerous this is? What if a bad person had kidnapped you? Have you thought about how sad your parents would be?”
As she spoke, she suddenly smelled the sweet scent on Xie Yunzheng. She understood immediately and couldn’t hide her anger. “You…you ate dessert? Who gave you food? Where did you get the money!?”
Xie Yunzheng hesitated and said, “I begged for food.”
Tao Gaofei turned red with anger and couldn’t help but slap him. “What are you talking about? Do you know your identity? You are the heir of the Xie family! How can you do such a shameful thing!?”
Xie Yunzheng’s eyes brimmed with tears, and he started crying immediately.
Tao Gaofei resisted the urge to coax and said in a sharp voice, “Sooner or later, you’ll disappoint Dad. If I had known you were so useless, I might as well have had another child! Stop crying!”
Xie Yunzheng still had that sweet taste in his mouth, so he wasn’t very sad even though he cried. He actually felt a little happy but couldn’t tell his mother about this small thought.
He thought happily that his brother was so kind to him—better than his parents, and better than anyone else.
.
Xie Qi returned to school and told Qin Yizhi about the incident. He had invited a child to eat a bunch of desserts.
He didn’t want to pretend to be kind in front of Qin Yizhi; he simply said straightforwardly, “I gave him food because he looked pitiful. I hope his parents find out and take him to the hospital for gastric lavage.”
Qin Yizhi asked, “Why do you say that?”
Xie Qi explained, “Of course, because today’s children are treated like gold and jade, and they want to be pampered. If they find out they’ve eaten something given by a stranger and think about it, they might actually take him to the hospital for gastric lavage.”
Qin Yizhi fell silent for a while before replying, “No.”
Xie Qi continued, “I saw a news story before. A teacher shared snacks with students, and when the parents found out, they came to the door and made a fuss. Eventually, they took their child to the hospital for gastric lavage.”
“…” Qin Yizhi’s vocabulary began to diminish, and after a moment, he said, “Maybe.”
Xie Qi looked at Qin Yizhi’s face. Qin Yizhi had obviously moved the phone a bit farther, exposing his upper body. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, his chest muscles bulging. The shirt looked like it was about to burst, and Xie Qi got momentarily lost in thought.
Qin Yizhi noticed his gaze, frowned slightly, and quietly moved the phone closer so that Xie Qi could only see his face.
Xie Qi, not seeing Qin Yizhi’s chest muscles, said dissatisfied, “Don’t move the camera.”
He said a bit frivolously, “I just want to see your chest muscles. You’ve grown so big, aren’t you showing them to me so I can touch them?”
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
The look in his eyes when he looked at Xie Qi seemed a bit strange.
He realized that Xie Qi often broke through his impressions of him.
In fact, Xie Qi wasn’t very skilled at saying such things, so his cheeks were slightly red, but the video was somewhat distorted, so it wasn’t very obvious. He continued to order, as if nothing had happened: “Move away, I want to see your chest muscles.”
His tone was very arrogant.
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
He lowered his eyes and said coldly, “No.”
Xie Qi became excited when he heard this. “Why don’t you want to? You clearly want it, so move the camera quickly.”
Qin Yizhi: “…?”
He looked at Xie Qi’s flushed cheeks, and his golden eyes trembled slightly even in the camera. They were so bright, and Xie Qi looked so pitiful, but what he said was completely the opposite of his appearance. “Be obedient and let me see it quickly. Let me see your big chest.”
Qin Yizhi was silent, not following Xie Qi’s rhythm. He said calmly, “I’ve customized a medicine for you. If you have time, you can apply it and nourish it. It won’t tear in the future.”
Xie Qi: “…?”
He immediately calmed down, and his tone changed to a weak one, so natural, “…Forget it, it’s very embarrassing.”
Qin Yizhi: “Don’t be embarrassed, I won’t watch.”
Xie Qi: “…It will hurt.”
Qin Yizhi said, “It won’t hurt. Start from a young age.”
Xie Qi: “…?”
Now he was so down that he wasn’t in the mood to look at Qin Yizhi’s chest muscles.
However, Qin Yizhi’s chest muscles were truly full of hormones, and Xie Qi couldn’t help but want to kiss them.
Xie Qi: “…?”
He realized that he had completely bent. He didn’t feel anything when looking at Qin Yizhi’s chest muscles before.
On the other side, Qin Yizhi hung up the phone, slid his Adam’s apple a few times, and unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, revealing his deep collarbone.
The office was empty, and Qin Yizhi raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.
