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

Qin Ge's intuition told him that this was not the case, and that things shouldn't be like this between him and Xu Xingchen.

He has always taken care of Xingxing since she was a child, and Xingxing only needs to sit there obediently and keep him company.

I'm feeling frustrated but can't pinpoint the source of the problem.

Qin Ge unfolded the folding chair, chose a good spot, reached out and picked up Xu Xingchen, placing him on the chair to sit down.

"Your job is to wait here for me, and I'll bring it to you when it's done."

"You don't need to worry about anything else; I'll take care of everything for you."

The faint smile that had been on Xu Xingchen's face since they started climbing the mountain slowly faded away.

He remained silent and sat there.

There was too much stuff for hiking. Xu Xingchen had no experience and bought a lot. After packing other things into the huge hiking bag, it couldn't hold much.

Xu Xingchen originally suggested preparing two bags so he could carry some too, but Qin Ge refused without hesitation.

Qin Ge only left behind some of the things that Xingchen liked to eat.

He's quite skilled; the barbecue itself has a rich charcoal aroma.

Qin Ge grilled the food until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He put it in a disposable box in front of Xu Xingchen and said, "Eat first. The rest will be ready soon. You must be hungry after all this time."

After climbing for a full six hours, eating only a little bread and drinking some water along the way, Qin Ge felt very sorry for Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen took a skewer and took a bite.

"Send the rest to them, let them all have a taste."

Qin Ge's face froze completely. "You're going to give the things I baked for you to them?"

"They were in the same group after all, and they helped us a lot along the way."

Qin Ge, "This was baked for you."

Xu Xingchen: "They're all friends."

What kind of bullshit friends are they? He doesn't like them, and he doesn't like friends. Why does he need friends? Aren't he and Xingxing enough?

Qin Ge absolutely hated this trip.

He took a deep breath, concealing the anger and malice on his face. "There's bread in the bag. I'll give them some."

Qin Ge took out some other food from his bag and walked up to them expressionlessly.

"For you."

After saying that, he left without paying attention to their expressions.

The group was flattered and overwhelmed.

Throughout the journey, Qin Ge barely paid any attention to them, and his complexion didn't look good either, leading them to believe that he disliked them.

Now he actually brought the things over directly.

The innocent and naive college students immediately began to repay the favor.

She also brought a large pile of her own snacks to share with Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge.

The group was incredibly enthusiastic, chattering away.

They talked about all sorts of things.

Some people even dared to ask Qin Ge how he developed such a muscular physique.

Although Qin Ge's face was cold, he still answered these questions.

The main reason was that he discovered these people had no designs on the stars.

This cheered him up a bit, and he was more willing to talk to them a little more.

"Wow, so disciplined, no wonder he's built such a muscular physique."

"I'm so envious I'm practically drooling, but I just can't do it."

"You look familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before."

"With such good looks and such a great physique, your future partner is so lucky."

"God, I will never call you grandpa again. You don't treat me like a grandson at all. Look at their configuration, and then look at mine."

"It's unfair that I don't have a handsome face, and I'm lacking in every other aspect."

The group chatted away, making it quite lively.

Before long, the topic shifted to Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge.

After chatting with them for a while, the group grew bolder, nudging each other.

"There's something we're really curious about that we'd like to ask you. It's okay if you don't want to tell us; it's just to satisfy our curiosity."

Xu Xingchen, "What?"

"Um, are you two a couple?"

The group looked at Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge with bright eyes.

It's no wonder they're gossiping; these two are just too perfect for each other, whether it's their appearance, height, or how they get along.

The extreme difference in their physiques allows them to imagine a scene brimming with tension just by looking at them.

The atmosphere between them was even more...

Whether it's holding hands during the mountain climb, the tacit understanding when setting up the tent, or Qin Ge's composure in picking up Xu Xingchen and placing him on the stool.

Their every move was so harmonious.

Even if there's a slight awkwardness, it's the kind of atmosphere that others can't squeeze into.

That's why they were so incredibly curious.

Xu Xingchen: "No, we're just good brothers."

The group was embarrassed. "Hahaha, so that's how it is."

"Brother, brother, it's rare to see brothers with such a good relationship these days."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The group gave a dry laugh.

Hearing these words again from Xu Xingchen's mouth, Qin Ge felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a needle.

A wave of irritability and discomfort washed over me.

But aren't they just good brothers?

What's bothering him? He's always wanted to be best friends with Xingxing for life.

What is he still dissatisfied with?

Several students then started to liven up the atmosphere.

Xu Xingchen handed a piece of grilled meat to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge's eyes lit up slightly. "Stars."

Xu Xingchen said, "You haven't eaten much."

Qin Ge snuggled close to him and said sweetly, "I want you to feed me."

Xu Xingchen stretched out his hand and didn't retract it. Qin Ge ate slowly, taking bites one by one.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she got closer and closer to Xu Xingchen, almost touching him.

Xu Xingchen looked at the group of people chatting and laughing and said, "Actually, it's quite nice of them to be like this, it's lively and fun."

Qin Ge didn't quite understand what Xu Xingchen meant. He was just instinctively flustered and didn't want to follow Xu Xingchen's lead.

"Isn't it good for us to be like this? Just the two of us, together for the rest of our lives."

"We can be together forever. After graduation, we can go to get off work together, and on weekends we can buy groceries and cook something nice. Don't you like dogs? We can get a dog then."

"My company can be located next to your research lab. You can also pursue a master's degree there. We can still live in Yunxi Bay, or even closer."

"We can be together for a lifetime."

Xu Xingchen said, "But Qin Ge, you're getting married."

"I'm not getting married, I've never thought about getting married."

He only wanted to be with Xu Xingchen, for a lifetime, forever and ever, just like before.

Xu Xingchen was silent for a moment, then said, "But Qin Ge, I want to get married."

Qin Ge was stunned.

He had never thought about this question.

Xu Xingchen is getting married.

Xingxing is getting married.

Other people appeared in his life, replacing him or even taking his place.

At that time, the stars will only see him, and only him.
