Chapter 85: 85

Chapter 85

Qiao Shao’s head was spinning from giddiness and he pushed him away. “So early in the morning … What do you think you’re doing!”

He Shen loosened his hold but didn’t let him go. “Kissing you to see if this is all a dream.”

Qiao Shao didn’t dare look at him. “Wh- what?”

He Shen bowed his head again. Qiao Shao’s lips trembled, and although he was very nervous he made no attempt to avoid. He Shen’s heart melted from how well-behaved he was being and in the end, he only planted a kiss on his forehead. “Why did you come here so early? Did you eat already?”

Qiao Shao said, “It’s going to be hot today, we should go out a bit earlier.”

Although Qiao Shao didn’t know which temple it was, there were only a few temples in S City, and most were on various mountains. If you wanted to visit, you would need to climb.

He Shen’s thin lips curved up.

He Shen completely saw through what he was actually thinking. Qiao Shao then tried to hide it but only made it more conspicuous by saying, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t come here because I was that impatient to see you!”

Better not to have explained. He just ended up exposing the truth.

“Of course not.” He Shen’s mouth was raised even higher, and his tone was all patient indulgence. “It was me who was too impatient to get a good night’s sleep.”

Qiao Shao: “………”

In terms of being shameless, even ten of him combined wouldn’t be able to match up against He Shen.

Qiao Shao was afraid that he would say something that would reduce him to a blushing and heart-throbbing mess, so he changed the topic, saying, “Were you going out?”

He Shen was a very honest person. “I woke up at 5 and couldn’t fall asleep. I thought I should clean since you’re coming over. I was just about to throw away the trash.”

The heat simply wouldn’t leave Qiao Shao’s face. “Nonsense.”

He Shen said, “The trash is still outside. Ah, that’s right. Just wait for me here.”

Qiao Shao remembered that He Shen had been holding something just now.

He Shen went out, and Qiao Shao looked around the rental apartment.

Hmm … it’s really had taken on an entirely new look.

The sofa was clean, the magazines randomly placed on the coffee table were well-organized, and the floor was smooth and clear. With just one look, you could tell that someone had mopped it really well.

He really had cleaned up…

Qiao Shao took a look at the kitchen. There was nothing on the dining table. Even the water dispenser next to it had been wiped clean. There were still some clean water droplets on the bucket, which must have been left by the wet rag.

He Shen really can do anything, and he was even skilled at cleaning.

Qiao Shao was feeling very proud when this thought popped into his mind. Children of poor families learn to manage household affairs early.

Part of the reason why He Shen could do things so well was also because there was no help around the house.

He didn’t know what He Shen’s family did for a living, and he had even less of an inkling as to what caused the 10 million debt, but to be overwhelmed by that amount meant that they weren’t very well off.

Poor He Shen Shen. He must have suffered a lot.

He Shen, who Qiao Shao spent a long while pitying, returned with two plastic bags.

He Shen called out to him, “Let’s eat breakfast first.”

He spread open the plastic bag.

Qiao Shao looked at it and said disapprovingly, “Why did you buy so much?”

He Shen said, “It’s okay if we can’t finish it all.”

While buying these, he kept thinking, ‘Ah, Qiao Shao likes to eat this.’ or ‘Ah, Qiao Shao hasn’t tasted this yet.’ or ‘Ah, Qiao Shao might like this.’ And so, he ended up buying a lot.

Qiao Shao thought about how hard He Shen worked to earn his money, and said, “You shouldn’t be so extravagant and wasteful.” He hadn’t used these words wrongly, for He Shen this really was ‘extravagant’ and ‘wasteful’.

He Shen: “It didn’t cost a lot.”

These matters were minor ones but for He Shen’s sake Qiao Shao fussed over them. “How much?”

He Shen looked at him and said, “It’s only fifty-two yuan.”

Qiao Shao’s eyes widened. “So &#k2026;”

So cheap! Such a big spread for breakfast and it only costs fifty-two yuan?

Oh, yes, Qiao Shao returned to his senses. Meals at the cafeteria were only three or four yuan. Fifty-two yuan was enough to eat plenty of meals.

He urgently replaced what he was about to say. “So much! You spent so much!”

In any case, the emotion was the same — surprise.

He Shen has been looking at him the entire time, his eyes unblinking. He didn’t miss even the slightest of Qiao Shao’s emotional fluctuations, so–

How could this child be Qiao Yi, the young master of the Qiao family who was raised in an expensive greenhouse? That young master probably didn’t even know the dictionary had the word “save” in it.

“Let’s eat,” He Shen said with a ruffle of Qiao Shao’s hair. “Eat more and then it wouldn’t go to waste.”

Qiao Shao really did eat quite a bit. He would appear to be quite the glutton but it was only when he was around He Shen that he could eat anything and everything seemed so delicious.

He Shen was afraid that he had eaten too much. “If you’re full, that’s fine. You don’t have to force yourself to finish everything.”

Qiao Shao glared at him. “Who told you to buy so much!” And they were all so delicious.

He Shen increasingly felt that his suspicion was just utterly ridiculous. How could Qiao Shao be Qiao Yi? Let alone Qiao Yi, even a child from a regular well-to-do family wouldn’t eat these like this, like they were all delicacies.

He Shen coaxed him. “If you can’t finish eating these, we’ll put them in the refrigerator. I’ll just eat them for dinner.”

Qiao Shao was relieved. “That’s good then.”

After breakfast, they went out together. Qiao Shao asked him, “Which temple did you ask the fortunes from?”

He Shen: “You’ll know when we get there.”

Qiao Shao looked at him. “Why so mysterious?”

He Shen smiled and changed the topic. “We’ll go report to Shen Hai Group next week. Is that okay?”

As expected, Qiao Shao turned serious. “Monday?”

He Shen: “Yes.”

Qiao Shao: “Sounds good.”

There were two to three days left. Da Qiao will definitely make the arrangements.

He Shen: “Don’t be nervous, the work won’t be too tough.”

What Qiao Shao was nervous about was how he could surreptitiously supplement He Shen’s income. He cleared his throat. “After all, it’s such a big group.”

He Shen said, “Shen Hai’s a really good company. It’s big but not bogged down. It has managed to maintain a vigorous vitality throughout.”

Qiao Shao’s ears perked up. “You really like it?”

He Shen looked at him. “Why would I apply for summer job there if I didn’t like it?”

Of course, there were other reasons, but He Shen really did admire the Shen Hai Group. It could even be said that he was envious of it.

Being born in a family like his, he had a good understanding of the Qiao Clan.

The Qiao Clan has always been lean in terms of the number of family members. Qiao Ruan was an only child. He had heard that Qiao Zongmin had a younger brother, but he died at the age of seven or eight because of illness, leaving only Qiao Zongmin.

After that happened to Qiao Zongmin’s only son, many people sighed with regret. They felt that the continuity of the Qiao line was rocky.

He Shen’s grandfather also mentioned it many times. But He Shen knew that his grandfather’s tone was jealous more than anything.

Both of them had only one son but the Xie family and the Qiao family were worlds apart. One was a good-for-nothing, and the other was a young and daring man who still strove for higher despite having already increased the value of the family business many times over.

Qiao Shao pretended not to be paying any attention though he was actually very curious. He asked, “Are you considering working for Shen Hai when you graduate?”

He Shen paused. “I’ve thought about it, but they probably won’t hire me.”

Qiao Shao couldn’t help but say, “Don’t underestimate yourself. You’re so outstanding. There definitely won’t be any problems!”

He Shen smiled. “How about you, what are your plans for the future?”

Qiao Shao hesitated.

He Shen said, “Do you also want to go to Shen Hai?”

Qiao Shao felt that it wasn’t a question of whether he wanted to go or not; rather, he’d have to go whether he wanted to or not.

“It’s too early to say…” Qiao Shao said, “We’re not even in university yet.”

Thinking of this Qiao Shao one again said, “Your grades are so good, the college entrance examination must be …”

He Shen shook his hand and said, “You’ll be fine.”

Qiao Shao sighed. He has a problem, a very big problem. Later, He Shen would go to Peking or Tsinghua University and he’d leave the country to head for Harvard or Yale. When that happens, what would he do?

He was going to die from this kind of long distance relationship!

No, he has to find a way to help He Shen repay his debt and take him away with him!

Noticing Qiao Shao’s silence, He Shen said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go wherever you go.”

These words made Qiao Shao’s eyes light up. “Really?”

He Shen smiled. “En, I’ll join you at Lan Xiang.”

Qiao Shao: “………………”

He knew this school. Song Yixu lamented it every day.

He pouted, “I don’t want to learn how to operate excavators!”

He Shen said, “Then we’ll go to New Oriental to learn cooking.”

Qiao Shao thought about that scene for a while … He was suddenly thunderstruck, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Qiao Shao shook away that image from his head. “Can’t you dream a bit higher!”

What Lan Xiang? What New Oriental? How could they be a match for any Ivy League school!

At this time, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. He Shen sighed, “Being with you is already my fondest dream.”

Qiao Shao’s heart trembled. He lowered his head and mumbled to himself.

He Shen didn’t hear him clearly. “Hm?”

Qiao Shao strode forward, leaving a sentence that the others wouldn’t understand. “Like it isn’t mine?”

He Shen followed him. “So it’s the same for you?”

Qiao Shao didn’t look at him, but his ears were flushed, “En.”

He Shen took his hand. “En?” He pretended not to have heard clearly.

Qiao Shao refused to say it and he began to climb up the stairs.

At the top of the mountain, Qiao Shao saw this well-known temple, and he was absolutely stupefied.

He Shen looked unperturbed.

Qiao Shao turned his head and looked at him with incredulous eyes. “He Shen, you … you … you got the wooden fortunes from here?”

He Shen said calmly, “They burn a lot of joss sticks here.”

Qiao Shao was going insane, “But this, this … you know that here is…”

He Shen helped him to come out with it. “I know. The temple of the Child-bearing goddess.”

Qiao Shao was dead!

Who could have thought? Who would have dared thought!

He Shen requested the wooden fortunes from the Child-bearing goddess’ temple! And he took a fortune from it like some idiot! He even got ‘Great Luck’! And now, here he was to give his thanks like a fool!

Just what was he supposed to thank the temple for!

And as if he wasn’t mortified enough to die, they ran into an acquaintance.

Wei Jiayu’s face was completely disbelieving. “You … how …” Why are you here!

Qiao Shao turned his head, and when he saw Blue Hair, he realized what it was like to suddenly sit up from his coffin—dead and double dead!

He Shen was also quite surprised. “Wei Jiayu?”

Wei Jiayu hurriedly clarified, “I’m here with my mother.”

He Shen was very calm. “Congratulations, you’re going to be an elder brother.”

Wei Jiayu ‘pah’-ed in contempt. “My mother’s already menopausal! She’s here to pray for someone else!”

He Shen: “Oh.”

Wei Jiayu looked at Qiao Shao and couldn’t help asking. “You two are here together?”

He hadn’t needed to ask, after all, there wasn’t a third person around!

Qiao Shao really didn’t know how to explain this situation!

He Shen answered directly. “We came …”

He’d only gotten out these two words when Qiao Shao forcefully covered his mouth.

Qiao Shao blushed and said, “We came here … to hike up the mountain!”

After speaking, he stared at He Shen, eyes filled with a threatening look.

He Shen smiled and said, “En, hiking.”

Wei Jiayu didn’t dare to ask more. He just laughed and said, “Then you continue your mountain-climbing, I’ll go look for my mother.”

Qiao Shao quickly nodded. “Bye!”

Wei Jiayu left and Qiao Shao turned to He Shen. “What do we do now!”

Was he really going to pray at the Child-bearing goddess’ temple!

He Shen held his hand and said, “It couldn’t be helped.”

He Shen dragged along Qiao Shao and Qiao Shao heard him say, “Turns out S Prefecture doesn’t have a Matchmaker’s temple. So I could only go for the next best thing and ask if from the Child-bearing goddess’.”

Qiao Shao: “……………………”

Stop being such a smart ass!

Wei Jiayu was dealt a heavy blow. He never imagined He Shen to have gotten the wooden fortunes from here.

Even if he had guessed it … Ah, it just made for an even more terrible thought!

He pulled out his mobile phone and sent a message to Lou Xiao. “Xiao Ge, I just ran into Shen Ge and the little poor ghost!”

The school tyrant didn’t feel like putting on glasses and he looked at the message blurrily, thinking: Okay, so you ran into them. But you shouldn’t go spreading around dog food.

Who knew that the next message would be—-

Wei Blue Cat: “Shen Ge actually brought the little poor ghost to pray at the Child-bearing goddess’ temple!”

Wei Blue Cat: “Should I remind them that guys can’t give birth QAQs! ”

Lou Xiao: “……………………”
