A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Should I block him, or just hide him from him?

Xu Xingchen's long eyelashes fluttered.

Qian Leilei plopped down next to Xu Xingchen, put his arm around Xu Xingchen's shoulder, and said, "I've been the one talking the whole time. Xingchen, why don't you tell us about your story? Every time we call, Qin Ge comes to bother us."

The moment he tried to have a long phone conversation with Xu Xingchen, Qin Ge, that annoying troublemaker, started acting up.

There's always a reason that makes it impossible for him to have a conversation with Xingxing.

In addition, due to the time difference between the two places, he and Xingxing have not been in contact as much as before.

Now that he's back in China, of course he wants to know how his friend is doing.

Xu Xingchen didn't have much to say, "It's the same as before, classes, experiments, nothing special."

"Xingxing, you're already amazing. I don't know much about experiments, but whether it succeeds or not, you're still the most amazing Xingxing. If you need any help, just ask."

"I know it's useless to tell you not to be anxious, but if you're still anxious next time, just come to me. I'll come back to keep you company no matter how late it is."

Qian Leilei patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"My family has recently invested in several overseas labs, including one in your research area. They're quite well-known abroad; I'll introduce you to them next time."

"it is good."

Qian Leilei had drunk a bit too much and started hugging Xu Xingchen, telling him how much he missed him.

Just as they were wailing and howling, Qin Ge pushed the door open and came in.

He strode in, looking travel-worn.

His initially displeased expression reached its peak upon seeing Qian Leilei.

He sat down next to Xu Xingchen, reached out and separated the two, then tossed Qian Leilei onto a sofa like he was throwing away trash.

Qian Leilei regained consciousness, stared wide-eyed at the newcomer, and gritted her teeth in hatred, "Qin Ge!"

Qin Ge took the spot next to Xu Xingchen and held him tightly.

"Why are you back?"

So annoying.

If you're going abroad, then go abroad properly. Why come back?

Qian Leilei: "What's it to you? You're a big shot, I can come back whenever I want."

Qin Ge stared at him with his dark eyes for a moment, then sneered, "Your dad knows?"

Qian Leilei shrank back slightly, then mustered his courage and said, "Of course I know."

He's stubborn as a mule.

Okay, he just couldn't stand the white fans anymore, so he sneaked back to live a carefree life. He really missed the stars.

He had only been with Xingxing for less than an hour when Qin Ge arrived. How annoying.

Qin Ge, "I'll call him now."

Qian Leilei immediately complained, "Xingxing, he threatened me!!"

That damn Qin Ge!

Xu Xingchen said, "Your uncle doesn't know you're back in China? Why don't you give him a call and tell him, so he won't worry."

Qian Leilei: "I know, I'll call in a bit."

If he could delay it as long as possible, he would. Qian Leilei didn't want to go back to listen to his father's nagging right now.

Qin Ge smelled the scent of other people on Xu Xingchen, so he simply took off his own clothes and draped them over Xu Xingchen, while glaring fiercely at Qian Leilei.

I've been annoyed by this since I was a child.

He couldn't make him disappear silently like he had with the others.

Thinking about all this made Qin Ge even more annoyed.

Qian Leilei rolled her eyes. "Do I have bacteria or a virus on me?"

Qin Ge remained silent, simply marking his territory like a dog.

Qian Leilei: "Xingxing, he glared at me!"

Xu Xingchen turned to look at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge: "I didn't."

Qian Leilei, "He still won't admit it. Xingxing, do you believe him or me?"

Qin Ge: "Yeah, Xingxing, do you believe him or me?"

The two of them looked at Xu Xingchen at the same time.

Xu Xingchen blinked. "Of course I believe Leilei."

Qian Leilei, looking like he had won a battle, snorted at Qin Ge.

Before Qin Ge could react, Xu Xingchen gently stroked Qin Ge's palm with his hand, conveying a sense of comfort and intimacy.

Qin Ge's anger dissipated in an instant.

Forget it, why bother arguing with an "outsider" like Qian Leilei?

His and Xingxing's matter is something they should resolve behind closed doors.

Qin Ge took Xu Xingchen's hand in his own, unfolded it one by one, and then interlocked their fingers.

"The meeting today was so annoying; those old men went on and on and on."

After explaining his reasons, Qin Ge immediately turned the tables, saying, "Xingxing, you didn't even wait for me."

God knows how angry he was when he saw the photos of Xu Xingchen and Qian Leilei.

They finally convinced them to send Qian Leilei abroad, but before he even graduated, he ran back.

Why are they getting so close? They have absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Qin Ge felt inexplicably irritable, pondering the possibility of letting Qian Leilei pursue a master's degree abroad, or even a doctorate if possible.

It's best to never appear in front of them again for the rest of your life.

Qin Ge glanced at Qian Leilei several times with a scrutinizing look. He wasn't as tall or as strong as him, and his muscles weren't as well-defined.

He didn't know why Xingxing liked playing with him.

Why are there always tactless people disturbing him and Xingxing?

Qin Ge's gaze deepened.

Qian Leilei felt a chill down his back.

Qin Ge was only somewhat agreeable in front of Xu Xingchen; Qian Leilei was still a bit timid.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now. Xingxing, let's meet up another day."

"Okay, I'll take you."

Qian Leilei had been drinking, so Xu Xingchen prepared to drive him home.

Qian Leilei really wanted to nod, but under Qin Ge's gaze, he...

He hasn't lived enough yet.

He reluctantly declined, saying, "I just messaged my driver; he'll be here soon, so you don't need to take me."

Qin Ge took Xu Xingchen's hand. "In that case, let's go back."

"It's almost time for you to go to bed. Don't you have to go to the lab tomorrow? You should go to bed early tonight."

Qian Leilei didn't want to disrupt Xu Xingchen's schedule, so he waved to him, "Xingxing, you guys go back first."

Qin Ge decisively led Xu Xingchen away. It had rained a bit today and was a little cold outside. He adjusted Xu Xingchen's coat, wrapping him up completely, before taking his hand and leaving the house.

Qian Leilei sometimes wondered if Qin Ge was really straight. He seemed much more gay than them.

However, those who knew a little about his childhood experiences understood that Qin Ge absolutely could not accept homosexuality.

Over the years, whenever there was even the slightest hint of such a thing around him and Xu Xingchen, he would resolve it, with Xu Xingchen being the only exception.

He scratched his head, unable to figure it out, and decided to stop thinking about it altogether.
