Chapter 58
This person was too smart, just by looking at him like this, he figured out that he was destroying evidence.
Xia Qing Shu’s jaw hurt a little, but he didn’t dare to move. He allowed himself to be pinched by the other man.
His face was forced to swing back and forth from side to side, and his neck joints made a clicking sound as they turned.
Shen Xunyi looked at his entire face including his ears and earlobes.
He knew Xia Qingshu’s face was small, but when he really squeezed his hand, he realized that it was even smaller than he had imagined. With just three fingers, he could hold half of his face in his hands.
Xia Qing Shu’s hair is light in colour, but his pupils are dark, his eyelashes are dense and long, and the ends curve up like a hook, tickling one’s heart. His nose is small but delicate, and the lips are thin and red, like April cherries.
Beautiful.
Shen Xunyi gave a cold snort and dropped his hand. He took out a wet tissue from his coat pocket and wiped the three fingers that had squeezed Xia Qing Shu’s chin without delay, one after the other, down to the edges of the nails, as if he had just pinched something very dirty.
After wiping, he frivolously threw the wet paper towel on the floor and looked at Xia Qing Shu with a straight face.
“You’ve hidden men in your room!”
Xia Qing Shu’s body trembled, and the small hand on his knee involuntarily squeezed up in a fist.
“I, I didn’t ……” Xia Qing Shu half-lowered his head, the volume of his voice was very small, even smaller than usual, “You, you don’t talk nonsense.”
“Tsk.” Shen Xunyi smiled contemptuously, the other party’s reaction was too obvious. If the above were all guesses, then Xia Qing Shu’s reaction completely confirmed his deduction.
Xia Qing Shu lowered his head, his chin almost poking his chest, a furry head facing Shen Xunyi.
Shen Xunyi was a little irritated and unconsciously reached out his hand and tried to pinch his chin again. Just as his hand was halfway out, he retracted it as he feared it was dirty, and put it behind his back.
“Don’t you dare to lift your head and look at me when speaking?”
Xia Qing Shu lowered his head and muttered, “Why should I look at you?”
As he spoke, he made excuses for himself. It wasn’t that he was weak-minded, he just didn’t want to obey Shen Xunyi in everything, Shen Xunyi was too bad, he was obviously a guest, but he ran inside his room just to be mean to him for no reason.
He had been wiping for a long time, the evidence had been destroyed long ago, he was not afraid.
Shen Xunyi seemed to see through his thoughts and sneered as he walked over to the windowsill, pulled the curtains open in one go, pushed the window open again.
Sure enough, there were several black footprints on the windowsill. After looking at them he retraced his steps back to Xia Qing Shu and found the little crook still with his head down.
“Did you wipe the footprints on the windowsill?”
Xia Qing Shu jerked his head up and looked over dumbfounded.
Damn, damn, careless, I had forgotten there was a windowsill.
He pursed his lips and said tremulously, “Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? I just moved here not long ago, I don’t know about the footprints or anything, maybe they were there before.”
“Is that so, then I’ll ask your brother to come over and take a look.” Shen Xunyi said playfully, “I’m sure he knows better than both of us.” With that, he lifted his leg and was about to walk towards the door.
“Don’t-” Xia Qing Shu stood up in a panic and grabbed Shen Xunyi’s wrist, “Mr. Shen, listen to my explanation.”
Shen Xunyi looked over with a sullen face, and Qinshu shuddered in fear, hurriedly letting go of his hand.
Thinking of Shen Xunyi wiping his hands in disgust after pinching his chin, Xia Qing Shu held up a box of tissues and handed it over curtly.
“Say it.” Shen Xunyi glanced at the place he had grabbed but did not take the tissue, “You are not allowed to lower your head when you speak, you must look at me the whole time!”
“Why, why do I have to look at you?” Xia Qing Shu stared at his toes with both eyes, rubbing his fingers uncomfortably.
“If you don’t look at me, you’re guilty, believe it or not, I’ll call the police and have you taken to the police station right away!”
The other party’s looks were too young and squirming, and in three or two words he was frightened into trembling. He didn’t even dare to raise his head when he spoke, and he didn’t react like a normal adult when he was caught doing something bad. Like a cute, stupid child.
Shen Xunyi unconsciously used a childish tone of voice used to intimidate a small child.
The little crook was really frightened and his little legs that were leaning tightly together were shaking like crazy.
“You, you don’t scare me, I know the law.”
“Oh, tell me then,” Shen Xunlin raised his eyebrows, “how many years should a prisoner like you be sentenced to?”
“What?” Xia Qingshu grunted, “It’s not like there’s anything missing from the house.”
He knew he couldn’t hide it any longer, so he pinched the bottom edge of his shirt and raised his head timidly, “It’s just that a friend came to visit me, he came a little late and didn’t go through the front door because he was afraid of disturbing my family’s rest.”
“It’s no big deal.”
“Can you not tell my family?”
The last sentence sounded sticky, with a pleading tone.
When he heard the word “friend”, Shen Xunyi spat in his heart , “How dare you call your golden master a friend?”
He stared at Xia Qing Shu’s face for half a moment and nodded, “Okay.”
Xia Qing Shu didn’t expect the other party to agree, his tone was sincere and sweet as he said thank you, “Thank you Mr. Shen.”
“Don’t thank me yet, I haven’t finished my sentence.” Shen Xunyi continued to pull a face and said coldly, “I can help you keep it a secret and even help you destroy the evidence, but you must answer me honestly a few questions.”
“Okay, you ask.” Xia Qing Shu did not expect to easily pass the test by answering just a few questions, and immediately sat upright, looking straight at the other party with his big, beautiful eyes open.
His eyes were very pure, he pursed his little mouth, and he had a good and pitiful look, which was really unbearable to be angry at.
Damn, this damned little liar even had pear swirls.
Shen Xunyi turned his head sideways in chagrin. In fact, when he knew that the little liar was hiding someone in his room, he had already determined that the little liar was definitely not pure.
He actually didn’t have a cleanliness fetish, he just thought that, since it was the first time for him, Young Master Shen, it was only logical that the other party should also be having their first time. When he was sure that Xia Qing Shu was not a virgin/boy, he should have left, instead of chasing after him here to question him.
It was like he was trying to help Xia Qing Shu find an excuse.
“Who is that man?”
He’ll give the boy one more chance.
“Just, just a friend.” Xia Qing Shu bit his lower lip and murmured in a small voice, “You wouldn’t know if I told you.”
“Is that so?” Shen Xunyi snorted, “I know even if you don’t say it.”
His pretty eyes widened, shining brightly, and his beautiful eyebrows gathered slightly together, his entire facial expression revealing “he doesn’t believe it”.
Shen Xunyi snorted coldly, and did not sell his crown.
“That wild man is Chen Zhiyu, isn’t he?”
Xia Qing Shu had a huge shock in his heart.
How did this, this person know everything? He was too shrewd ah. Is he a reincarnation of a fox?
He somewhat regretted agreeing to the other person’s request that he had to look into his eyes when he spoke. He tried his best to control his eyes, but his dark eyes couldn’t stop darting around, and one could see that he was guilty.
Knowing that it was useless to say anything, he nodded his head in a somewhat self-destructive manner and admitted it.
Shen Xunyi did not feel joy at having guessed correctly, but once again felt a sinking feeling in his heart at confirming the impurity of his prey.
Sure enough, it was Chen Zhiyu.
Forget it, let’s continue.
Having said that, he did not believe that Chen Zhiyu had come in over the wall in the middle of the night to discuss with Xia Qing Shu which stock had great potential. Besides, did this little liar even understand?
He gave Xia Qingshu a fierce glare.
Xia Qingshu drooped his head somewhat self-consciously, looking like a little lamb at the mercy of others.
Shen Xunyi clenched his teeth, his long straight legs lifted up, and instead of walking outwards, he turned a corner and walked to the bed, staring at the little liar’s beautiful eyes with a deadly stare, “Did he…did he hug you?”
What? what??
Xia Qing Shu’s body leaned back to avoid the pressure brought by Shen Xunyi, his eyes still meekly looking at the other party, timidly saying, “What did he hug me for? No, no.”
“Really no?!”
The corners of Shen Xunyi’s taut mouth loosened a little.
“No no no!” The furry little head shook round like a kid’s rattle.
“Humph.” After entering the room, Shen Xunyi had coldly hummed more times than he could count. But this hum hid a wave of unconscious delight.
“Did he touch you then?” Shen Xunyi asked again after a moment’s thought.
Xia Qing Shu thought the other party was strange, he came to ask such questions, like …… like coming to catch adulterer.
But he held his own handle, and still shook his head good-naturedly, “No.”
“Then what was he doing over here in the middle of the night?”
Xia Qing Shu pursed his small mouth and said seriously, “Brother Zhiyu has some misunderstandings about me ……”
Before he could finish his words, Shen Xunyi was on fire again, “What did you call him?!”
Xia Qing Shu covered his ears and shrunk to sit in the middle of the bed.
This person is he menopausal, why is he suddenly angry and shouting?
He repeated in a whisper, “Brother Zhiyu.”
Xia Qing Shu curled his knees up to block his chest. A pair of fat and white little feet stepped on the dark green bed sheet, like a pair of beautiful jades blooming on velvet.
As Shen Xunyi looked at the pair of jade feet, he only felt a tightness in his chest, “Why just call me Mr. Shen?!”
The question was asked in a justifiable manner, completely forgetting that he was in no position to ask this question. The two of them had only met a few times, wasn’t it normal to call him Mr. Shen?
However, Xia Qing Shu had often faced such scenarios, and was only a bit flustered when he encountered the familiar question. After being asked a few more times, he had found some of the tricks.
He pursed his lips and explained in a small voice, “I’m just thin-skinned and calling you brother ……it seems too frivolous …… and I was afraid that you’d be unhappy.”
“Call me that, I will not be unhappy.”
Shen Xunyi graciously said.
Xia Qing Shu softly called out, “Brother Xunyi.”
Shen Xunyi suddenly felt refreshed, the dark clouds above his head cleared away, and even the corners of his mouth hooked up on both sides, almost laughing out loud.
Xia Qingshu called out twice more, and Shen Xunyi’s mind drifted and he pickes up a rug and helped him mop the floor to demonstrate the best way to eliminate evidence.
It was only when he had mopped up the bedroom and was about to continue with the bathroom that he reacted.
This damned little liar was too tricky!
“Brother Xunyi, why don’t you continue mopping the floor?”
“I haven’t finished asking.” Shen Xunyi coughed, threw away the rug in his hand and tensed up his face again, “What did he misunderstand about you?”
“He thought I liked him.” Xia Qingshu shook his head and explained, “I explained to him clearly that I don’t like him.”
He didn’t say anything about Chen Zhiyu allowing him to be his boyfriend, but how shrewd was Shen Xunyi, he instantly guessed what was going on.
This was what the older, unmarried Chen Zhiyu thought was a two-way run, but he didn’t expect it to be his wishful thinking.
Hahahahaha.
Chen Zhiyu wasn’t even invited last night, that’s why he jumped the gun and went through the back door.
The corners of Shen Xun Xunyi’s mouth were splitting to the sky, Chen Zhiyu’s narcissistic ratio had its day.
He felt good again.
What was said later, Shen Xunyi also forgot a bit, anyway, in the end he not only wiped the whole room, but also helped him wipe the wild man’s footprints on the windowsill.
Just for the sake of one sentence, “Brother Xunyi, you are so kind.”
