Ch37 - Just What Did the Seventeen-Year-Old Ji Xinglan Like?

 

Translator: Mogumoguchan

Yan Qiu sat at the backseat powerlessly and used his hand to prop up his head. The kitten laid on the cushion beside him and pretended to bite his fingers, playing with him. After pretending to gnaw on him for a long time, it failed to make Yan Qiu pay attention to it. So, it could only play with its toy ball in anger. 

 

 

Yan Qiu stared at the scenery swiftly retreating  by the window. Through the corner of his eyes, he sized up Ji Xinglan quietly. That person held the steering wheel with no expression. It was as if the person who tyrannized him just now was someone else entirely. 

From the reflection on the car window, Yan Qiu could still see the aggrieved expression on his own face. He didn’t know what happened to him just now. It didn’t hurt that much when he was spanked. He just felt incredibly humiliated, and his mind was a blur.  

He was no longer three years old. How could he have someone still hit his butt?! If no one was supposed to touch a tiger’s butt, then no one was supposed to touch an alpha’s butt either!

 

This was humiliating for Yan Qiu. He added another item to the list of grudges he kept on Ji Xinglan. 

Once he was divorced, he would definitely place a sack over Ji Xinglan and beat him up!

That night, Yan Qiu sat on the bed to play with the kitten. Ji Xinglan came back from outside and moved around in front of Yan Qiu. 

 

They were still angry at each other, and they had not spoken to each other much that night. Yan Qiu looked down and watched Ji Xinglan’s back. The humiliation he had finally forgotten returned, and the flames of revenge rose within him. 

He didn’t have the time to stuff him in a sack, so he might as well as seize the chance to beat him up!

While Ji Xinglan had his back turned around, he reached out in a vengeful manner. A loud slap suddenly rang in the quiet room. It was the sound of a palm slapping flesh. 

 

Ji Xinglan was originally standing with his back turned towards the bed. At that moment, he widened his eyes a little. He was stunned, surprising lighting his eyes. Then, he put down the glass in his hands. The thick bottom of the glass knocked against the surface of the table, emitting a clear sound. That was the omen that something bad was about to happen. But he still turned around to look at Yan Qiu. His expression was one of absolute calm.  

The slap Yan Qiu gave Ji Xinglan couldn’t have been considered hard. He was just taking revenge. Besides, the position he chose was a little off. When he registered what had happened, the atmosphere in the room had already become slightly strange. 

Ji Xinglan stood in front of him and looked down at him. The light in his beautiful eyes was a little dark, and twinkling in them was a barely noticeable emotion. Ji Xinglan merely watched Yan Qiu quietly. He didn’t expect that in the end, this little idiot would use this type of method to break the stalemate between them. After all, this was a method that was bound to stir up trouble.  His jealousy had yet to fade, and now, he finally found a way to vent it. 

Ji Xinglan held the glass in a relaxed manner and threw his head back to take a gulp. However, he didn’t hurry to swallow. His eyes were fixed on Yan Qiu, and Yan Qiu felt his skin crawl. At the moment Yan Qiu felt that the pheromones in the room increased by leaps and bounds, Yan Qiu knew that things were going to be bad. He had failed to take his revenge with a single hit, so now, he was about to face his death. 

It would appear that his seniors’ past actions were the only way to go. If he wanted to hit someone, he had to trap them in a sack. 

While Yan Qiu withstood the powerful pressure from the alpha, he quietly observed the room door diagonally ahead of him. At the same time, he wondered just how high were his chances of succeeding in running if he ran off now.  If not, he would hide in the living room and stay with the kitten for one night. 

Yet he had no time to carry out this plan, because the owner of the shadow enveloping him suddenly pressed down on him. Yan Qiu shuddered and closed his eyes. His eyelashes fluttered a little, but what came next was a light, feathery kiss.

 Yan Qiu didn’t understand just what this person was thinking. Not only did he not lose his temper, he suddenly kissed him. What was going on?

Nevertheless, Yan Qiu dared not break free. He could only raise his head and allow Ji Xinglan to kiss him. Just when he thought that this would just be a normal kiss and was about to be relieved, Yan Qiu suddenly felt a cool feeling on his tongue. Then, something cold and sweet but slightly sour entered his mouth, causing his mouth to be filled with the refreshing taste of lemons.  

Yan Qiu opened his eyes wide and stared at the person in front of him in shock. It was lemon juice. 

The lemon juice was diluted, so the taste was very faint. In truth, it wasn’t very sour, but Yan Qiu was unable to handle this sort of stimulation. He used his hands to push him, but even after he shoved him a few times, Ji Xinglan refused to let go. With just a few moves, he seized Yan Qiu’s struggling wrists and folded them behind his back. 

 

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yan Qiu had his hands forced behind him. Ji Xinglan just stood in front of him while leaning over him. The cold liquid trickled down the corners of his lips and slid down Yan Qiu’s jaw and chin before it flowed down his collarbone and into his shirt collar, leaving behind a shining trail of liquid.

Ji Xinglan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with a teasing look. He reached out and stroked his head.

 “Was the lemon juice sour?”

Yan Qiu covered his mouth without saying anything. He only nodded repeatedly.

 Through grit teeth, Ji Xinglan said, “If it’s sour, then there’s nothing wrong with it.” 

Ji Xinglan was originally rather angry that Yan Qiu had helped someone else write a love letter to him, but when he thought about it, Yan Qiu hadn’t written a love letter to Xie Yu and he could have been considered to have indirectly written a love letter to himself, so his anger eased a little.

 “Tell me. Why did you help someone else write a love letter? Why were you so eager to push me to someone else?” He crossed his legs and grabbed the straps on Yan Qiu’s clothes. They swung about as they were played with.

 Yan Qiu watched as Ji Xinglan tugged his straps loose somewhat deliberately. He was worried that with just one tug, his clothes would fall down loosely, so he quickly snatched the straps back. 

“No. I just didn’t want to reveal my relationship with you. Bai Yuanyuan asked for my help, and I couldn’t think of a reason to refuse…” 

He wasn’t sure if the other accepted his explanation, but he snorted. “You’re an idiot. Aren’t you worried that I’d accept her confession?”

Yan Qiu peered at him. ‘…Accept her confession?’

“If I did, you wouldn’t have an alpha anymore. No one will take care of you, bully you, cook for you, and hug you while you sleep. If I do these things to someone else, wouldn’t you be the slightest bit sad?” Ji Xinglan demanded. 

Yan Qiu looked down and didn’t reply, but he already knew the answer in his heart. He was far too used to Ji Xinglan’s kindness to him, to the point that he had already forgotten why Ji Xinglan was being good to him.  

If he weren’t pregnant with his child and if Ji Xinglan knew that he was Yan Qiu, how would he treat him? Would he continue to treat him coldly and argue with him? He might even chase him out of his house immediately. Yan Qiu froze. His breathing became slightly labored, and he didn’t dare to think about it in detail anymore. 

In the past, he believed it was impossible for Ji Xinglan to accept anyone’s confession. Yan Qiu believed from the bottom of his heart that Bai Yuanyuan was not Ji Xinglan’s type, which was why he agreed to help her. 

But if Ji Xinglan had the slightest possibility of accepting her confession, Yan Qiu wouldn’t have helped her. If Ji Xinglan had really accepted her confession…

Yan Qiu stared at Ji Xinglan’s handsome face and remembered Bai Yuanyuan’s words. Suddenly, he really wanted to ask Ji Xinglan whether he had someone he liked.  

That night. Yan Qiu tossed around on his bed, unable to sleep. While his mind was in a blurry haze, he remembered a lot of things in the past. 

It was no wonder why he had such a terrible image in Ji Xinglan’s heart. When he first met Ji Xinglan, he was in the midst of a fight. 

 

At that time, there was a military school student who was wooing Lin Wei, and once rejected, became twisted, constantly pestering her. Every day, after they were dismissed from school, he would stalk Lin Wei, terrifying her so much that she was afraid to go back home.

 After Yan Qiu heard Lin Wei crying about it that afternoon, Yan Qiu and his gang fought against the military school student who was stalking Lin Wei, and they fought at the school entrance itself. 

 Yan Qiu didn’t hold back when he beat that pervert and shortly after, gained the upper hand. Just as the guy pleaded for mercy, Ji Xinglan passed by coincidentally. When he saw delinquents fighting, he called the head of moral education. 

Five minutes later, Mr. Yang arrived. Yan Qiu, who was the leader in the inter-school fight, was sent to the student affairs office and received a penalty. He was punished to sweep the field for half a year.

Since Ji Xinglan was someone of high status, it meant that he would usually forget everything that had nothing to do with him. As such, he forgot about the event, but Yan Qiu held a grudge. He believed that people only snitched on him because they couldn’t beat him!

Having flown into anger because of a girl, Yan Qiu accepted his punishment after he dealt with the pervert for Lin Wei. Everyday, after school, he went off diligently to clean the field, until one day… 

One day, while Yan Qiu was sweeping leaves in the field as the autumn wind blew against him, he saw Lin Wei stand together with that bastard, Ji Xinglan. And they were very close to each other!

Lin Wei had a smile on her face, and it was one that never appeared on her when she was with Yan Qiu. Yan Qiu, who had just handed over the girl he was pursuing to another person, became so angry that he instantly threw his broom on the ground. 

He was the one who fought for Lin Wei, so why was Lin Wei together with the stupid young master who caused him to be punished?

On that day, Yan Qiu became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and that night, he went off to block Ji Xinglan’s path. In the end, after challenging Ji Xinglan alone and losing, Yan Qiu ran off. Having lost the fight, Yan Qiu originally wanted to steer clear of him, but Ji Xinglan just kept appearing in front of him, as if he didn’t know how to act according to the ways of the world. It made Yan Qiu feel really agitated. 

 Ji Xinglan had heard Lin Wei explain the reason behind the fight that day, and so he went to apologize to Yan Qiu. Somehow, he even managed to display his magnanimity by making the student affairs office get rid of Yan Qiu’s punishment. 

Having suffered multiple losses without any return, Yan Qiu naturally rejected Ji Xinglan’s insincere apology. However, Ji Xinglan was rather determined. Since Yan Qiu didn’t accept his apology on the first day, he dropped by everyday and stood at the entrance of the dorm to wait for Yan Qiu.

 That day, when Yan Qiu was playing his games in his dorm, he heard the girls screaming downstairs. Xie Yu kicked open the door with his bottles in hand, and he said, “Tsk, that Ji Xinglan dropped by again. I have to say, why is he coming to see you everyday? Does he fancy you?”

Yan Qiu found himself stuttering. His face turned red, as he threw his earphones away. “What on earth are you saying? He’ll only like me if he wants to get his ass whooped.” 

“So, what does he want to do?” Xie Yu was very curious. 

Yan Qiu put his mouse down and leaned against the back of his chair. “It’s nothing. I fought against him a few days ago.”

When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately became excited. “You fought against Ji Xinglan? Boss, you’re awesome! Why didn’t you ask me to go and watch as well as hold the fort for you? So? Who won?”

Yan Qiu found himself speechless. His expression was a little stiff. “Well… we fought to a tie.” 

Xie Yu rubbed his palms together excitedly. “Next time, you have to take me with you. We can fight two against one, and he will definitely call you his boss at the end!”

Yan Qiu soon became annoyed by the screams that came continuously from under his balcony. He couldn’t even continue playing his game. In the end, he stood up from his chair and walked down the dorm. He grabbed Ji Xinglan, who had been standing at the entrance of the dorm, and dragged him to the corner at the back of the dorm. While he grabbed his collar, he pushed Ji Xinglan against the wall with a conceited expression on his face. 

 

Ji Xinglan didn’t seem to mind how much of a brute he was. He only said, “You’re finally willing to meet me, huh?”

“What business do you have with me?” Yan Qiu found himself going berserk. “Fine. I accept your apology. Get out of my sight.” 

Ji Xinglan’s deep-set eyes remained calm. He said, “Don’t you remember what happened that night?”

“W-What do you want to do?!” Yan Qiu braced himself and asked. He knew that he couldn’t win against this guy, and even though he had grabbed his collar and pushed him against the chest, he felt a little terrified. But when he pushed this beautiful and arrogant young master against the wall and caused his neat clothes to become disheveled, he felt pleased, as if he had just roughed Ji Xinglan up.

 “Fine, I got it. You like Lin Wei, right? But even if you cause me trouble, it’s useless.” Yan Qiu sounded quite fierce.

 When he heard this, Ji Xinglan frowned even more, but he remained looking elegant and gentle. “Are you really trying to court her? Do you really like her that much? Then, that night, why did you…?” 

Was he really unable to get over the fact that Yan Qiu fought against him and lost?

Yan Qiu hardly wanted to mention how he had lost terribly to Ji Xinglan. “Wooing girls isn’t cockfighting. We won’t know who the victor is with just one fight. Stop bothering me, will you? We’ll woo her with our own abilities, and if she really chooses you, I will give up, get it?”

“She said that she likes me.” The young master’s eyes were very bright. He stared at Yan Qiu for a while with an indecipherable look in his eyes. Suddenly, he drew close to his ear and said, “So, it’s better if you give up. Don’t like her, okay?”

Yan Qiu felt that Ji Xinglan had been staring at his lips.  

They were really close to each other. If he were someone of the opposite sex, this would be a really flirtatious gesture, but to someone of the same sex, Yan Qiu naturally treated this as an act of provocation. Thus, he shoved Ji Xinglan and caused his expensive uniform to become terribly wrinkled. Then, he let go. “Do whatever you like. Stop bothering me in the future.”

That night, Yan Qiu dreamt for the entire night.  In his dream, Ji Xinglan had flung off Lin Wei’s hand and said that the person he liked was Yan Qiu. 

Yan Qiu couldn’t remember whether he had agreed to his confession, and soon, the sky turned bright. 

Ever since the sports’ day, Ji Xinglan’s admirers had increased exponentially. Everyday, an increasing number of people looked into the classroom through the doors and windows, and Yan Qiu was forced to draw the curtains and turn on the lights even though it was bright.  

Chocolates, roses, and hand knitted scarves appeared in endless droves on Ji Xinglan’s table. In the end, Yan Qiu fed all the chocolates to Xie Yu. 

What pissed Yan Qiu off was that Ji Xinglan continued to pretend to be a gentleman. He would always receive those gifts if the people handed them personally. 

On one particular day, when Ji Xinglan returned to his seat, Yan Qiu ordered him with an indifferent expression, “Go and wash your hands.”

“……” 

“I saw an omega going up to you and holding your hand.” He sounded really displeased. 

Ji Xinglan could only go and wash his hands again. 

 

Returning to his own seat, Yan Qiu sat down angrily. He thought about Ji Xinglan’s words carefully, and he found that Ji Xinglan was right. 

He didn’t know why he was jealous, but why was it that the person who slept with him in the same bed at night, who cooked for him, and who shared kisses with him, wanted nothing to do with him in front of others? And why were all of them trying to snatch him away from him? 

When he looked in the direction that Ji Xinlan had gone, Yan Qiu felt a little worried. He wasn’t afraid of those strangers at all. The person who worried him the most was Lin Wei. 

Ji Xinglan should like Lin Wei, and now, Lin Wei had already broken up with her boyfriend. If she decided to be together with Ji Xinglan again, would Ji Xinglan refuse her?

If Ji Xinglan truly got together with someone else, what should he do?

Just as he was thinking about it, the thing he worried about the most happened. Bai Yuanyuan came in through the back door, and she seemed a little angry. “Lin Wei went to search for my male idol again. That bitch in sheep’s clothing… She dragged him off to the side of the stairs. Who knows what sort of things they’re whispering to each other about!” 

Yan Qiu might have pretended not to be bothered by this, but in truth, when Bai Yuanyuan turned her head around, he immediately feigned going to the toilet and left. 

When he reached the side of the stairs, he did end up finding the two.

 He had originally wanted to speak up and demand an answer from them, but when he saw the both of them standing together, he found that they looked great together, and suddenly, he didn’t want to speak. 

Yan Qiu stared at Ji Xinglan, who was already beginning to resemble a man. Suddenly, he really wanted to know just what Ji Xinglan looked like when he was seventeen years old.  

As the person who was publicly acknowledged to be the school princess, Lin Wei was really beautiful. Her skin was fair, her face was small, and her eyes were big and bright. She wore a really short skirt, and her uniform made her waist look really thin. Her long socks were wrapped around her thin legs, and she was definitely the dream of every single straight man. 

In the past, Yan Qiu would definitely stare at her, but today, he couldn’t be bothered to look. Instead, he just kept staring at the man, Ji Xinglan. 

When he saw Lin Wei taking out a letter from her bag and handing it to Ji Xinglan, Yan Qiu gritted his teeth while he remained hiding by the wall.

 ‘Ji Xinglan, if you dare accept her confession, you’re dead!’
