The condition Feng Yuan proposed was incredibly tempting.
Yet Qin Xun closed his eyes for a moment and still held firm, refusing to agree.
With great patience, he spent a long time coaxing Feng Yuan into obediently sitting in the bathtub for a bath.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Xun went to prepare a hangover soup.
By the time the little drunkard finished his bath, drank the soup, and sat on the bed, he was completely clean and refreshed.
Qin Xun gently touched his cheek and asked, “Ready to sleep?”
Feng Yuan flopped backward with a soft thud.
Seeing how effortlessly he fell back, Qin Xun couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Qin Xun, hold me!”
Feng Yuan needed to be held to sleep.
Every time he slept with Qin Xun, he insisted on being held.
Although Qin Xun would agree verbally, once Feng Yuan fell asleep, he would quietly create some distance between them.
He couldn’t sleep while holding Feng Yuan.
If he did, he simply couldn’t fall asleep.
Feng Yuan was well aware of this habit, so after they lay down together, he turned his face to the side and preemptively emphasized to Qin Xun, “Don’t let go of me, even after I fall asleep.”
Qin Xun: “…”
Qin Xun: “Mm.”
The two of them looked at each other. Suddenly, neither had anything more to say.
They gazed at each other for a moment. Just as Qin Xun was about to cover Feng Yuan’s eyes with his hand, Feng Yuan abruptly spoke again.
“Qin Xun, you’ll soon find out who the person I like is!”
“Because I’m going to pursue him in the grandest way possible!”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan’s tone turned a bit smug: “I’ve even written out my pursuit plan!”
Feng Yuan’s plan to win someone over was more meticulous than his exam papers!
Qin Xun couldn’t bear to hear Feng Yuan talk about pursuing someone.
He lowered his gaze, his handsome face betraying no emotion.
“Yuan Yuan, it’s late. Let’s sleep.”
He didn’t want to continue or hear any more about this topic.
Feng Yuan grinned and nodded.
The red wine seemed to have some sleep-inducing effect, as Feng Yuan slept soundly through the night.
He even had a very, very good dream.
It was just that the dream’s aftereffects left him blushing early in the morning.
He climbed out of bed and, with unusual diligence, changed the bedsheets first thing.
Qin Xun wasn’t in bed, nor was he in the bedroom.
Feng Yuan knew he woke up early.
Feng Yuan’s bathroom had a small washing machine.
While the sheets were washing, he quickly washed up.
After finishing up in the bedroom, he stepped out and started looking for Qin Xun.
“Big Dad! Good morning! Have you seen Qin Xun?”
“He went out.”
Li Sheng replied to his son, “There’s breakfast in the kitchen. Eat first before you go play.”
Feng Yuan: “Got it!”
Feng Yuan wandered into the kitchen and ate his breakfast standing right there.
He was too lazy to sit at the dining table.
He finished his meal quickly and, in high spirits, headed out.
With high school life over, Feng Yuan felt as if he had been reborn!
The feeling was absolutely wonderful!
Even the air after graduating high school seemed sweet.
Humming aimlessly to himself, Feng Yuan made his way to the flower shop he had booked.
This flower shop only took private custom orders. The owner had impeccable taste.
Feng Yuan had ordered 99 days’ worth of bouquets in one go!
“Yuan Yuan, your flowers are all wrapped up.”
The flower shop owner was a young woman who knew exactly what Feng Yuan needed the flowers for.
As she handed over the beautifully arranged bouquet, she also offered her blessings.
“I hope the person receiving the flowers accepts your feelings.”
“Hehe, thank you!”
Feng Yuan happily hugged the bouquet of roses and, as he stepped out of the flower shop, pulled out his phone to send Qin Xun a message.
“Qin Xun, where are you?”
Qin Xun: “At the company.”
Qin Xun had taken over his family’s business, so he was often busy at the office.
Feng Yuan continued texting: “Which company?”
Qin Xun: “[Address]”
Apart from the headquarters, the Qin family had several smaller companies in the city.
Only after confirming the exact address did Feng Yuan take a ride to find him.
On the way, Feng Yuan received a call from Xu Jiale.
Xu Jiale had also drunk quite a bit yesterday. Now that he was sober, he was feeling heartbroken.
“Yuan Yuan, I feel like I’ll never love again in this lifetime.”
Fresh from his emotional wounds, Xu Jiale was so pessimistic that he seemed to have lost all hope for the world.
As a good friend, Feng Yuan could only try his best to comfort and console him.
“Le Le, don’t say that. Once you start university, you might meet a girl you like again!”
Feng Yuan even started brainstorming ideas for him.
“How about I post a message on the university campus forum looking for a girlfriend for you?”
“I have access to Qin Xun’s university forum!”
Xu Jiale: “…”
Xu Jiale: “No need.”
Xu Jiale muttered gloomily, “I can’t get into Qin Xun’s university.”
So he’d rather not look for a girlfriend there.
“Wait, hold on. When did you join the campus forum?”
Xu Jiale’s attention was successfully diverted. He focused on the fact that Feng Yuan had joined the forum.
Feng Yuan smiled, his eyes curving, and replied, “I joined a long time ago.”
Xu Jiale: “You didn’t join the forum just to keep tabs on Qin Xun, did you?”
Feng Yuan: “Hmm.”
Feng Yuan: “What else?”
Feng Yuan had joined the campus forum precisely to see posts about Qin Xun.
Qin Xun had become famous at his university since the military training period.
Someone had secretly taken a photo of him and posted it on the forum with a caption asking for his contact information.
“This guy is way too handsome! I want to get his contact info!”
Under that post, the comments section was so full that some were hidden.
Someone from Qin Xun’s high school had shared information about him in the comments.
“His name is Qin Xun. He was the top student in our school. He comes from a wealthy family, but doesn’t date. I went to high school with him. Tons of girls liked him back then, but he never dated any of them.”
“You all should just give up. No one can win him over.”
That high school classmate was telling the truth.
Qin Xun always maintained a respectful distance and appropriate boundaries with the girls he encountered in his life.
He never got intimate or flirted with anyone.
Still, the words of a high school classmate did little to deter the university girls who had crushes on Qin Xun.
His conditions were just too good. Whether it was his family background or his looks, many were eager to take on the challenge of winning him over.
Feng Yuan often came across posts about Qin Xun on the campus forum.
He received the most confessions there.
Of course, there were also some people complaining that Qin Xun was too aloof.
Feng Yuan browsed the forum from time to time and found it utterly engrossing.
“Yuan Yuan, you and Qin Xun…”
Even though Xu Jiale was still nursing his own heartbreak, he couldn’t help but pry into Feng Yuan and Qin Xun’s relationship.
“You two grew up together and are always living under the same roof.”
“Can you really tell what your feelings for him are?”
Xu Jiale posed a soul-searching question: “Are you sure your feelings for him are romantic love, not familial affection?”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan snorted, reminding Xu Jiale, “Le Le, have you ever heard me call him ‘brother’ since we were kids?”
Xu Jiale: “!”
Xu Jiale pondered for a few seconds before exclaiming: “Holy shit.”
“Yuan Yuan, you’ve been hiding your feelings deep! Since when have you liked Qin Xun? Don’t tell me it’s been since childhood?”
Feng Yuan hadn’t arrived at Qin Xun’s company yet.
Since he had nothing better to do on the way, he generously shared his emotional journey with Xu Jiale.
“I was so young back then. I didn’t understand love!”
“It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized I liked him!”
To be precise, Feng Yuan only became aware of his feelings after having a dream that symbolized his coming of age.
In that dream, he saw Qin Xun!
The two chattered nonstop throughout the journey. By the end, Feng Yuan’s mouth felt dry from all the talking.
Xu Jiale was so engrossed in the gossip that he temporarily forgot his own sorrows.
“Yuan Yuan, can’t you please livestream this for me?”
“I really want to see you giving him flowers!”
Xu Jiale didn’t just want to watch a livestream. He even considered coming over to see it in person.
But Feng Yuan wouldn’t let him.
Feng Yuan only planned to give flowers today, not confess his feelings.
He believed that a confession shouldn’t rely solely on words.
He needed to show sincerity!
He intended to give Qin Xun flowers for ninety-nine consecutive days. During that time, he would shower him with care and attention!
Well-prepared for his pursuit, Feng Yuan got out of the car while holding the bouquet of roses and confidently headed into Qin Xun’s company.
Qin Xun’s company wasn’t just open to anyone.
Especially the area where Qin Xun worked. Visitors needed an appointment.
Feng Yuan didn’t need an appointment. He could just use his face.
The receptionist at the front desk recognized him.
“Yuan Yuan, congratulations on finishing your college entrance exams! Here, some wine-filled chocolate candies.”
The receptionist grabbed a handful of candies from the counter and handed them to Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan had loved eating candy since he was a child.
After ruining his teeth with candy as a kid, the adults banned him from sweets for a while.
Later, it was Qin Xun who promised to keep a close watch on him, ensuring he didn’t consume too much sugar and only ate a moderate amount, allowing him to continue enjoying candies.
“Thank you!”
Feng Yuan smiled gratefully, then took the flowers and rode the elevator straight to Qin Xun’s office.
There was someone in Qin Xun’s office.
Feng Yuan glanced at the guest discussing matters with Qin Xun, then looked at Qin Xun himself.
He blinked. With practiced ease, he carried the flowers into the small attached room in the office.
Qin Xun’s office had an attached room.
It wasn’t large, just a bed and a simple cabinet.
Holding the flowers, Feng Yuan sat on the bed, waiting for Qin Xun.
He didn’t have to wait long before Qin Xun walked in.
The guest in the office had already left.
The moment Qin Xun saw Feng Yuan enter with the flowers, he lost all focus on work.
Fortunately, their discussion was nearly finished anyway.
So, as soon as the guest left, Qin Xun immediately went into the attached room.
“Yuan Yuan.”
Qin Xun looked down at the young man sitting on the bed.
His gaze fell on the roses. His breathing softened slightly: “What are you up to?”
Feng Yuan lifted his face, his eyes sparkling with delight.
His voice was clear and lively as he said, “Qin Xun, I came to give you flowers!”
“Do you like them?”
Qin Xun: “…”
Qin Xun was momentarily stunned.
He seemed a bit slow to react, murmuring, “You… brought me flowers?”
Feng Yuan: “Yeah!”
Feng Yuan: “Do you like them? I went to so many shops before picking this arrangement.”
The composition of a bouquet really mattered.
Some florists had a great eye and put together beautiful arrangements.
While others could take perfectly lovely flowers and make them look downright unattractive.
Feng Yuan felt his own taste in flowers was pretty decent.
He held the bouquet out, a little nervous as he waited for Qin Xun’s response.
Qin Xun remained silent for a long moment before finally reaching out to take the flowers.
“I like them.”
He clutched the bouquet tightly, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on Feng Yuan. “I really like them.”
Truth be told, Qin Xun had never been particularly fond of flowers.
His mother loved gardening and growing flowers, but he’d never shared that interest.
Yet, the bouquet Feng Yuan had brought today stirred an instinct in Qin Xun to keep these flowers alive as long as possible.
He didn’t want them to wither and fade.
“I’m glad you like them! Well, I’ll let you get back to work then. I won’t disturb you any longer.”
“And at noon, I’ll bring you lunch—homemade by me.”
Between the flowers and the promise of a home-cooked meal, even someone as dense as Qin Xun could sense Feng Yuan’s intentions.
He had speculated about Feng Yuan’s feelings before, but never dared to dwell on it too deeply.
He was afraid that if he guessed wrong, he wouldn’t know how to face the aftermath.
Feng Yuan was just too good.
Since childhood, no matter where he went, Feng Yuan had always been the most beloved kid around.
He was like a little sun, warming everyone who came near him.
This Feng Yuan. This radiant Feng Yuan.
Qin Xun wanted to have him, but he didn’t dare hope that this little sun could ever belong to him alone.
“How about chicken soup? I’ll pick out a nice free-range chicken to stew for you.”
“Your work is so demanding. How could Uncle Qin dump all this on you?”
Feng Yuan continued to chatter away, but Qin Xun had already taken hold of his hand.
“Okay.”
At that moment, Qin Xun seemed like a rusty machine that had forgotten to be wound up.
His reactions always seemed to lag a beat or two behind.
“Yuan Yuan, you can make whatever you want for lunch—or nothing at all.”
“We could go out to eat.”
“But I want to cook.”
Feng Yuan had always enjoyed cooking. He was just too lazy and high school kept him too busy, so he didn’t do it often.
But now that he had free time and with his mission to win someone over, he was eager to get back into the kitchen.
“Qin Xun, you should get back to work. I’ll—”
“I’m not busy.”
Qin Xun instinctively grabbed Feng Yuan’s hand, holding him back. “If you don’t have anything else to do, you can stay here for a while.”
Feng Yuan checked the time. It was still early before he needed to start lunch.
He smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
The two walked out of the small room. Feng Yuan naturally settled onto the sofa.
The office was empty except for them.
Feng Yuan hugged a Ka Tu Tu pillow from the sofa, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Xun as he returned to his desk.
He wanted to watch Qin Xun work.
Feng Yuan thought Qin Xun looked incredibly handsome when he was focused on his tasks!
