CH 34

After returning to Qin Zhongyue’s place in the evening, Xie Zhongxing granted him half an hour to play games as a reward for his performance.

In addition to his youthful energy, Qin Zhongyue was also quite obsessed with games but, this time, he said earnestly, “I’m not playing, I want to study!”When Xie Zhongxing heard this, he turned and looked into his eyes, “You’re really not going to play?”Qin Zhongyue nodded solemnly, “Not playing. There’s only a month left. I should work hard and not waste my time on games.”Xie Zhongxing was moved, “You really think that?”Qin Zhongyue nodded again, “Men who don’t work hard won’t have a good position in life.”Xie Zhongxing laughed lightly, “With this kind of mentality, if you don’t get in, I also won’t enrol.”Qin Zhongyue was stunned, “That won’t do, how could you not enrol? If you get in, you must enrol!”Xie Zhongxing, “….What I’m trying to say is, with this kind of mentality, you will most definitely get in.”Qin Zhongyue, “…..Oh.”Xie Zhongxing, “Since you’re not going to be playing games, let’s do something else. A balance between work and play will maximise efficiency.”Qin Zhongyue thought for a moment and cautiously suggested, “I want to see the sun outside.”Xie Zhongxing, “……..”Seriously?He couldn’t help but laugh and said jokingly, “Others might think I’m keeping you imprisoned.”Qin Zhongyue said with a weary look, “Just taking me out for some air for half an hour is enough. Really. I’m very easily satisfied.”Xie Zhongxing stopped laughing. If Qin Zhongyue hadn’t cooperated with him, someone like him who is neither his family or close friend going to such extents was indeed taking things a little too far.It was all thanks to Qin Zhongyue who was willing to cooperate and willing to give him the right to do it.Xie Zhongxing softened his tone and spoke gently, “Let’s go then.”The two quickly left the room and was met with a large swimming pool outside the living room.Qin Zhongyue noticed Xie Zhongxing’s look and also looked towards the swimming pool. After suddenly remembering something, he expressed, “Ah, I haven’t swum in a long time.”

Xie Zhongxing glanced at him, “You can swim?”Qin Zhongyue puffed up his chest and said proudly, “Yeah, and I’m very good at it. I even participated in a swimming competition.”Xie Zhongxing asked, “Did you win a medal?”Qin Zhongyue’s confidence immediately left his body, “…..No. I was never able to get into the top three.”Xie Zhongxing comforted him, “It’s still not bad. The key is to participate.”Qin Zhongyue became spirited again, “Let’s go swim!”Xie Zhongxing nodded, “Okay.”Qin Zhongyue who got his approval immediately started to take off his clothes. In a blink of an eye, he was left with just a pair of shorts and he proceeded to jump into the pool, sending water splashing everywhere.His head rose out from the water and he used his hand to brush his hair back, revealing his handsome forehead. He then smiled widely with his eyes curved at Xie Zhongxing, “You come down too!”At this moment, the weather was just right. Golden sunlight fell onto Qin Zhongyue healthy and fair skin, coating it with a layer of golden light. Droplets of water travelled down his forehead, gathering at his chin before falling into the water.Xie Zhongxing took in this sight for a while but didn’t move to take off his clothes. He just sat down beside the pool and put his feet in but was soon dragged into the water by Qin Zhongyue.Xie Zhongxing who was caught unguarded couldn’t help but struggle in the water.Qin Zhongyue supported him with some confusion, “You can’t swim?”Xie Zhongxing who had choked on some water coughed violently.Qin Zhongyue hurriedly patted him on the back to help him breathe more comfortably, “How are you feeling? Sorry, it’s my fault. I thought you could swim.”Xie Zhongxing who had finally recovered responded, “I didn’t say I could?”Qin Zhongyue replied quietly, “You looked very composed so I thought you could.”Xie Zhongxing, “…..You think too highly of me. There are many things I can’t do.” He paused and then continued, “Apart from studying, I can’t do anything else but, as for you, you’re good at everything except for studying.”His face was covered in water, making him unable to open his eyes, but he still raised his head and smiled at Qin Zhongyue, “Perhaps we can complement each other.”Qin Zhongyue was struck dumb by this gorgeous smiling face of his. Seeing that he had his eyes closed, he suddenly heard the devil in his heart cry out-------

I want to kiss him!But he didn’t have the courage to do it.His eyes were fixed on Xie Zhongxing’s soft and beautiful face as he enthusiastically suggested, “Then I can teach you. I was even taught by an expert! I’m basically only a step away from those professional swimmers who win medals!”Xie Zhongxing, “En, you can teach me.”Qin Zhongyue’s eyes proceeded to lose their restraints. It slowly travelled down Xie Zhongxing’s fair and slender neck and it couldn’t help but continue even further down.Xie Zhongxing’s white t-shirt was stuck to his body, revealing his figure.Qin Zhongyue could see the gorgeous scene on his chest.Fuck….It’s so pink!Xie Zhongxing rubbed his eyes and was finally able to open his eyes completely. Because he was a little agitated earlier, his eyes were still a little red, making him look somewhat alluring, “So how do I swim?”Qin Zhongyue was still staring foolishly and unabashedly at Xie Zhongxing’s chest. Hearing Xie Zhongxing’s question, he only answered dazedly, “With your hands.”Xie Zhongxing felt more and more uncomfortable by his stare and even wanted to cover himself up with his hands but doing that might be a little strange. His cheeks turned pink and he couldn’t help but call out, “What are you looking at?”Qin Zhongyue answered without thinking, “Your ni-----”Before he could finish, he changed his words, “You’re so good-looking. You look very mouthwatering.Xie Zhongxing, “……”Mouthwatering?Qin Zhongyue withdrew his gaze and said with some embarrassment, “Here, I’ll teach you how to swim.”Xie Zhongxing let out a small ‘en’.Qin Zhongyue coughed a few times to relieve his embarrassment, “Actually, the easiest one is the breaststroke. I taught myself breaststroke when I was seven but it doesn’t look nice so let me teach you freestyle.”Xie Zhongxing didn’t know much about these matters so he allowed Qin Zhongyue to make the call.“Relax your body first. I’ll hold you. Then raise your legs and try to float. I’ll teach you the basic freestyle swimming posture.” While Qin Zhongyue instructed, he used the chance to glance at Xie Zhongxing’s body a few more times while the other party wasn’t paying attention.While he did this, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed. Why couldn’t he control his eyes?

But the Xie Zhongxing who was soaked in water and bathing in the sun was practically glowing, making his eyes unable to move away.The current Xie Zhongxing was still a little thin and his waist was so narrow, he could wrap around it with both his hands. When he held that thin waist of his, Qin Zhongyue’s heart couldn’t help but race.Now he not only couldn’t control his eyes, he also couldn’t control another place on his body.Xie Zhongxing’s actions suddenly stopped and his feet fell back onto the pool floor. He grabbed Qin Zhongyue’s arm to stabilise himself and said softly, “Let’s stop this for now.”Qin Zhongyue looked at him red-faced, “….Oh.”Xie Zhongxing asked, “Why aren’t you asking me why we’re stopping?”Qin Zhongyue didn’t dare speak. With his head lowered, he could only see his shameful self in the water.But Xie Zhongxing probably can’t see it.Thinking this, Qin Zhongyue’s face didn’t feel so hot anymore.Xie Zhongxing took in his blushing face and said, “It’s because time is almost up.”Qin Zhongyue asked timidly, “What time?”Xie Zhongxing, “Half an hour has almost passed. It’s time to study.”Qin Zhongyue, “…..So fast?”Xie Zhongxing went up the pool steps and picked up the stopwatch from the ground. He showed it to Qin Zhongyue, “Twenty minutes have already passed.”Qin Zhongyue laughed awkwardly, “Wow, that’s so fast. How can time pass by so quickly?”Xie Zhongxing said, “There are ten more minutes left.”He looked at Qin Zhongyue and suddenly smiled. His slightly round eyes looked like it contained light, “You can use that time to calm your little one down.”Qin Zhongyue, “……”He saw it!!After washing up, Qin Zhongyue heard Xie Zhongxing say, “Ten minutes exactly. You’re quite on time.”

Qin Zhongyue, “…….”His mood was so complicated, his simple head couldn’t determine what he was feeling at this moment.It was probably not anything pleasant. He cleared his throat and exclaimed loudly, “I love studying! Hurry and give me my worksheets. I want to work on the problems!”This change in topic allowed the two of them to brush off the embarrassment.Xie Zhongxing sat next to Qin Zhongyue and worked on his own papers. He wrote a few things and then proceeded to cross them out.He looked towards Qin Zhongyue. His handsome profile with defined features came into view.Sensing his gaze, Qin Zhongyue looked over, “What’s wrong?”Xie Zhongxing lowered his eyes back down, “It’s nothing.”When Qin Zhongyue heard this, he lowered his head back down and continued studying.Later at night, Xie Zhongxing felt as if he had insomnia.He usually slept very well and, perhaps it was because of this, he had a lot of energy to use to study each day.This was probably his first time having insomnia.Xie Zhongxing wanted to turn over but he was afraid of disturbing Qin Zhongyue so he lowered his voice and asked softly, “Are you asleep?”Qin Zhongyue also quietly replied, “No.”Xie Zhongxing asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”Qin Zhongyue, “Can’t sleep.”Xie Zhongxing, “You still have too much energy. Let’s add four more papers for you to do tomorrow.”“……..” Qin Zhongyue quietly reminded him, “….Tomorrow is the weekend.”Xie Zhongxing, “Oh, then eight papers.”Qin Zhongyue, “…….”He should’ve pretended to be asleep
