After returning to the Qiu family’s old house, Qiu Yuanchu quickly disappeared.
Xu Yin was a bit puzzled but didn’t pay it much attention and started exercising in the courtyard.
If everything goes smoothly, starting tomorrow, he and Qiu Yuanchu will have to stay in bed for a whole ten… eleven days.
Xu Yin calmly did squats as a “pre-match” warm-up.
018: “…A good pre-match warm-up.”
If these two are in bed for eleven days, he gets eleven days off. 018 never expected his first vacation to come this way. It’s so erotic.
Xu Yin: “It might end early.”
018: “No, no, no. With your La gong’s stamina, when has he ever not kept his word?”
Xu Yin: “…………”
Recalling some experiences from the first three worlds, Xu Yin took a deep breath, already anticipating the sweet torment.
After finishing his squats, he stood up, stretched his shoulders and neck, and heard footsteps behind him. He turned around.
A man stood in the corridor, looking at him gently, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Xu Yin was momentarily stunned but quickly understood and walked over to ask, “Did you just go buy flowers?”
“Hmm,” Qi Yuanchu responded softly. Probably because it was his first time doing this, his ears were slightly red. “Do you like them?”
He gazed intently at Xu Yin.
Xu Yin’s gaze fell on the bouquet.
It was a bunch of bright red roses, lush and flamboyant.
However, what caught Xu Yin’s eye most was a small pink flower that seemed out of place among the roses.
With a pale yellow center and light pink petals.
How familiar this little flower was.
Xu Yin’s heart gave a slight flutter. He looked up at Qi Yuanchu.
Qi Yuanchu noticed his gaze and also looked at the pink flower, his eyes filled with confusion and a nostalgia he wasn’t aware of.
“In a dream I had about you, you gave me a flower like this.”
He said softly, “By the seaside.”
Facing the fierce sea wind.
Facing the vast sky.
They also shared a kiss.
Qi Yuanchu’s ears turned even redder.
He cleared his throat and looked away, while Xu Yin slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
For a moment, Qi Yuanchu seemed to feel something again. He looked up at Xu Yin, then slightly furrowed his brows.
He reached out and gently touched the corner of Xu Yin’s eye. “Why are your eyes red?”
Xu Yin shook his head.
He hadn’t expected it.
He had given him flowers from three worlds.
And in this fourth world, this flower was given to him by this man.
In some mysterious way, Xu Yin felt that, despite this man not having regained his memory, and despite them not knowing who the other truly was, the distance between them was getting shorter.
This feeling was so good.
There was an indescribable sense of security.
He lifted the corners of his mouth, stepped forward, and gently embraced Qi Yuanchu.
Qi Yuanchu’s body tensed slightly.
Xu Yin hugged him and whispered, “I really like it. Thank you, I really like it.”
After so many worlds, so many years gone by, I still deeply love you, and you are still here in front of me, so clumsy and yet so lovable.
Qi Yuanchu was slightly stunned.
The sweet fragrance of jasmine lingered around him. He closed his eyes, took a gentle sniff, and hugged the young man in his arms. His voice was tender as he said, “I’m glad you like it.”
“Why did you suddenly go buy flowers?” Xu Yin asked with a light laugh. “Did you think you needed to have some sort of token before making a permanent mark?”
Qi Yuanchu froze.
It really was like that.
Xu Yin laughed out loud.
“……” Qi Yuanchu explained, “If we were in Central City, I would have chosen to buy a ring.”
The designs of rings in this small town are not great.
Xu Yin laughed even more. “So, if you were to give me a ring, would that be to give me an identity?”
Qi Yuanchu frowned even more. He pulled Xu Yin slightly away, holding his shoulders, and said seriously, “It’s a proposal. I told you that day that I wanted to marry you. A permanent mark is very important. If it weren’t so rushed, I should have formally registered our marriage before this.”
Xu Yin understood completely. The “giving an identity” comment was just teasing him, and he found him as lovable as ever.
He took the bouquet and said with a smile, “I know. It’s okay. Let’s get the marriage certificate when we reach Central City.”
He glanced again at the small pink flower, the smile in his eyes deepening.
It was clear he really liked it, and Qi Yuanchu smiled too.
He leaned in, turned his face, and kissed Xu Yin’s lips.
After the kiss, they parted but remained very close. They looked at each other from such a short distance.
Qi Yuanchu whispered, “I want to go back to the room now.”
Xu Yin grinned, “It’s still far from time.”
Qi Yuanchu: “We can take a nap first, together.”
Xu Yin: “Didn’t your sister say that results might come out tomorrow? Shouldn’t we wait?”
Qi Yuanchu’s expression turned serious, clearly displeased with everything happening in this place.
Just as Xu Yin started to laugh, 018 awkwardly said, “Uh, a random task has appeared. Check it yourself?”
Xu Yin: “?”
At this moment?
He quickly composed himself, opened the task bar, and saw:
[Exit through the back door, turn left and walk twenty meters, wait at the intersection for a minute for a passing van, rescue the kidnapped cute and silly person: 20 points !]
The Qiu family’s old house was in a very quiet area, but it was still somewhat remote.
It was 10 PM, and when Xu Yin arrived at the intersection, the whole street was deserted. However, in the distance, a white van came speeding from the right. Within a few seconds, it was right in front of Xu Yin, with screams coming from inside.
Xu Yin: “?”
Qi Yuanchu, who had followed him out, looked puzzled. “Yinyin?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Yin suddenly jumped high, landing on the van’s hood. As the driver behind the windshield stared in shock, Xu Yin took two steps and jumped onto the roof. Then there was a loud crash.
The van’s roof was smashed?
The beta driver, still driving, turned back in disbelief.
Their van’s roof was punctured?! This beautiful youth had jumped into their van?!
How did this happen so suddenly?!
The van was driving fine, his lackeys were beating people up fine, and he was humming a song. How did a gorgeous omega suddenly appear and jump into their van?!
How did he do that? Did this youth have the power of a giant?
In reality, Xu Yin had used a large knife stored in his space from the previous world. He hadn’t expected the van’s roof to be so easily pierced and thought he’d need to stab it a few more times.
After jumping into the van and taking a glance around,
Oh, what a surprise.
A large, shirtless alpha was staring at him, holding a half-raised fist, while a bruised omega was crying underneath him… Wasn’t this Qin Yuheng?
Xu Yin was astonished.
As for the person cowering in the corner of the van…
“Master!” Ye Xing exclaimed in shock, “Master, how did you know we were here!? And how did you… how did you get in?”
He looked at the large hole in the van’s roof, then at Xu Yin’s hands and feet, utterly confused.
Xu Yin: “…………”
So, the “cute” and “silly” ones were these two?
They had been kidnapped?
The situation was very delicate, and the atmosphere was tense.
After regaining his composure, the beta driver quickly snubbed his cigarette and shouted angrily, “Who are you?! Get out of my van!”
The large alpha released Qin Yuheng, glowered at Xu Yin, and charged at him with his fist raised. Then,
“Argh!” He was knocked over by Xu Yin’s punch, crashing heavily into the van door!
The van was quite fragile. The large alpha’s fall actually broke the already weak door, and he landed outside the van.
Seeing this, the driver’s face turned pale, and he had to slam on the brakes!
The tires screeched loudly on the ground as the van struggled to stop sideways!
The beta driver drew his gun and turned to point it at Xu Yin, only to see the young man smile slightly. The next moment, the beta discovered… his hand and the gun were frozen?
It wasn’t immediately obvious, but a thin layer of frost covered his hand and the gun, rendering him immobile!
He was stunned, completely confused about what was happening.
No one else noticed this. Ye Xing shouted, “Master!”
“Quickly get out of the car,” Xu Yin said.
Ye Xing gritted his teeth and started to get out of the car, but Qin Yuheng grabbed his clothes.
Qin Yuheng, bruised and swollen, whimpered, “Take… take me with you…”
Just then, the beta driver cursed and charged at Xu Yin without thinking!
Xu Yin dodged slightly, and the beta slammed into Qin Yuheng, who cried out in pain, “Ah!”
Xu Yin kicked, sending both of them out of the van, then jumped down after them.
He thought the big alpha wouldn’t just pass out from being thrown out of the van, but when he got out, he found that the big alpha was actually being held down by his Lao gong…
Qi Yuanchu was stepping on him while keeping a serious face, staring at him.
Xu Yin: “…………”
Ah, that familiar angry expression.
“How can you just jump on the van like that?” his Lao gong asked angrily. “What if you get hurt?”
At this moment, Qin Yuheng, seeing he was finally saved, got up and, enraged, tried to kick the beta driver.
Then he was kicked back to the ground.
After kicking him, Xu Yin reassured Qi Yuanchu, “Don’t worry, I won’t get hurt. Look, I’m fine.”
Beta driver: Damn it, our van is a wreck!
Qin Yuheng: Wuwuwu, my butt hurts too!
One hour later, at the regional office of the area affairs bureau.
Madam Lu arrived in a rush and asked everyone in the hall urgently, “Where’s my son? Where’s Yuheng?!”
She was so angry that her chest heaved. She only saw a few people around the head of the area affairs bureau.
Besides Xu Yin and Qi Yuanchu, there was an omega she vaguely remembered was from the Ye family, named Ye Xing.
And next to Ye Xing was a bruised individual—her son, Qin Yuheng.
Madam Lu went crazy. “Where is Yuheng?! Did you rescue him or not?!”
Everyone: “…”
Then Madam Lu saw the bruised person crying out, “Mom, mommy…”
Mrs. Lu: “???”
She stiffened, staring at the person in shock.
Wait, that outfit was indeed what Yuheng wore when he went out today, but that face… it was so swollen it was almost unrecognizable!
Madam Lu screamed and rushed over, “Yuheng! Is that you?! How did you end up like this? Who did this?!”
Actually, the affairs bureau head had already clearly explained the situation to Madam Lu on the phone.
But Madam Lu was so worried about her son that she had forgotten everything he said.
He cleared his throat to remind her. Madam Lu jolted, came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, and stood up with tears, saying sorrowfully, “So it was a kidnapping? Why? Just because I’m the chairwoman of the Rights Association? I don’t make much salary in this position. I don’t have much money. Why would they kidnap Yuheng?”
She started crying.
Qin Yuheng also cried and whimpered.
Ye Xing said coldly, “So, are you still playing this game?”
Seeing the affairs bureau head stroking his chin and looking up, Ye Xing mocked, “When they first kidnapped us, they said it was because of a conflict with you over human trafficking that couldn’t be resolved, which is why they wanted to kidnap Yuheng. Now they’re claiming it’s for money. Isn’t that a convenient excuse?”
“What are you talking about?” Madam Lu asked, bewildered. “Human trafficking? I don’t understand!”
Qin Yuheng also shook his head, mumbling, “Don’t understand.”
Madam Lu put on an innocent face while gritting her teeth inside.
She hadn’t expected the human traffickers to be so desperate.
