SEBLS Chapter 13

After something like this happened, no one dared to stay on the pirate ship after it stopped, and they all got off.

The feeling of being on the verge of death moments ago made Zhuang Wu unable to move. Qin Qiyue supported him and asked, “Can you get up?”

Zhuang Wu sat there without saying a word, probably not having fully come to his senses yet.

Qin Qiyue became inexplicably nervous. “Are you okay?”

After a long pause, Zhuang Wu looked at Qin Qiyue and shook his head. “I’m okay.”

Seeing that Zhuang Wu was finally willing to speak, Qin Qiyue was relieved. He gently pulled up the corner of Zhuang Wu’s clothes and said in a hoarse voice, “Mn, let’s go.”

That was a matter of life and death after all, Zhuang Wu couldn’t possibly recover to normal so quickly. However, because he didn’t want to ruin a good time for two people through a mishap on his part, he forced himself to smile at Qin Qiyue. “Gege, what else do you want to ride?”

Hearing Zhuang Wu, whose life was hanging by a thread earlier, now ask him with a smile what he wanted to ride, Qin Qiyue’s face instantly darkened. He grabbed Zhuang Wu’s wrist and strode forward.

Zhuang Wu was a little confused. He asked quickly, “Gege, what are you doing?”

“Going back.”

“?”

“Why do you want to go back?” Zhuang Wu was extremely puzzled.

“……”

Why does he still look so nonchalant?

Qin Qiyue gripped Zhuang Wu’s wrist a little harder, then turned around.

“Zhuang Wu,” Qin Qiyue’s voice sounded gloomy, “From now on, don’t come to this kind of place again.”

His wrist was a little painful from being gripped by Qin Qiyue. After hearing this, Zhuang Wu was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood why Qin Qiyue wanted to pull him back.

Is he concerned about him?

Zhuang Wu couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips and nod. “Okay, I promise.”

As long as Qin Qiyue doesn’t let him come again, he will never come here again.

After Zhuang Wu agreed, Qin Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized that he was holding Zhuang Wu’s hand. He immediately let go of his hand, but the way he let go was too deliberate. Zhuang Wu saw it and smiled at him.

Qin Qiyue turned his head away, blushing and ignoring Zhuang Wu. Zhuang Wu followed after him immediately. “Gege, thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, I might have died, or at least become disabled.”

“It’s nothing…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuang Wu interrupted him, “You saved the rest of my life. You’re my savior. Don’t worry, I will repay you with my own body.”

How shameless.

Qin Qiyue snorted coldly. “The person on your other side also saved you, why don’t you promise yourself to him?”

What the hell? Can’t you just cooperate? Normally, when something like this happens in a TV series, the relationship between the protagonists should quickly heat up.

With the matter of time travel laid out, Zhuang Wu has already regarded himself as the protagonist.

“Because I’d rather commit myself to you.” Zhuang Wu leaned over to his ear and whispered, “I like you the most, and only you.”

 “…..”

His words made Qin Qiyue’s cheeks, which were already a little reddish, quickly become hot. In order not to expose himself, Qin Qiyue pretended not to hear and walked as fast as possible.

Zhuang Wu originally wanted to follow, but when he found that Qin Qiyue was walking so fast on purpose, he suddenly had an idea and sat down on the ground.

“Oh!” Zhuang Wu exclaimed. “Gege… I fell, can you come and help me up?”

Qin Qiyue stopped and turned to look at Zhuang Wu. The latter looked like he really couldn’t get up after falling.

Finally, Qin Qiyue sighed helplessly, walked to Zhuang Wu, squatted down, grabbed Zhuang Wu’s elbow and tried to pull him up.

Zhuang Wu pretended to stand for a moment, then immediately sat back down, speaking in a tearful tone, “I twisted my foot and couldn’t stand up.”

“I’ll hold you up.” Qin Qiyue came up with a solution. “You hop on one foot.”

“…….”

“Gege…” Zhuang Wu looked like he was about to cry. “I can’t. If I jump for so long until we’re back, my other leg will turn lame.”

“So what do you want to do?” Qin Qiyue had a bit of a headache.

Finally, the key question came up. Zhuang Wu answered without hesitation, “You carry me.”

For a moment, Qin Qiyue suspected that Zhuang Wu did this on purpose for this, but when he saw Zhuang Wu’s red eyes, he dispelled his suspicion of Zhuang Wu.

After a moment of silence, Qin Qiyue half-knelt in compromise. “Come up.”

Zhuang Wu suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, and put his hand on Qin Qiyue’s shoulder with difficulty. After feeling that Zhuang Wu had held him stably, Qin Qiyue stood up and carried Zhuang Wu on his back towards the entrance of the amusement park.

As expected, life is like a play and it all depends on acting. Fortunately, I’m an actor, otherwise how can I act pitiful in front of Qin Qiyue?

Although the amusement park was not so close that one could walk back in a few steps, it was not far either. Fortunately, Zhuang Wu had let Qin Qiyue know a long time ago that he was carsick, so Qin Qiyue did not think about taking a ride back.

Zhuang Wu didn’t want to return home too soon and separate from Qin Qiyue. Thus, on the way when they passed by a barbecue stall, he called out to Qin Qiyue, “Gege, I want to eat grilled chicken steak!”

A man carrying another man on his back on the street was already eye-catching enough. He just wanted to send Zhuang Wu back as soon as possible, but Zhuang Wu just wouldn’t let him off and actually asked him to stop in a place with so many people.

But at this moment, Zhuang Wu had just experienced the gates of hell and then fell down and sprained his ankle right after. His eyes were red and he looked really pitiful. Qin Qiyue had no choice but to frown and come to the barbecue stall to buy some skewers. Perhaps for fear that Zhuang Wu would be thirsty in the middle of the meal and would ask him to stop again, he also took a bottle of a beverage in passing.

This barbecue stall was on the roadside and there were no dining chairs or anything. Qin Qiyue could only wait there with Zhuang Wu on his back. Fortunately, Zhuang Wu was quite light, so apart from being a little embarrassed, Qin Qiyue didn’t feel tired.

After the skewers Qin Qiyue ordered were cooked, Qin Qiyue paid for them, took them, and handed them to Zhuang Wu. “Your hands are not disabled, so you can take it.”

“…..”

Zhuang Wu laughed, then picked up the bag, “Yeah.”

In fact, Zhuang Wu was not hungry at all. It was not even noon yet, and it was only an hour or two since they came to the amusement park. But he wanted to buy it, so he had to eat it. He ate as if he was chewing tasteless wax in his mouth.

Later, Zhuang Wu felt that he really couldn’t eat any more, so he took a skewer of grilled lamb and put it next to Qin Qiyue’s mouth. “Gege, you eat too.”

Qin Qiyue lied, “I don’t want to eat it, don’t block my view with this.”

Where is this blocking the view?

Zhuang Wu glared at him from a place where Qin Qiyue couldn’t see, but his mouth was as sweet as honey, “Gege, I can’t eat anymore, can you help me eat some~”

Both his voice and tone sounded like he was acting like a spoiled child. Qin Qiyue felt that she was going to be tortured to death by Zhuang Wu today.

“I’m carrying you on my back now, so I can’t hold anything with my hands.” Qin Qiyue tried to find an excuse.

Then Zhuang Wu continued his words, “It’s okay, I’ll feed you.”

Qin Qiyue almost swore. He turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Wu. Seeing that Zhuang Wu was determined to achieve his goal, he turned his head back and took a very small bite of the thing that Zhuang Wu put to his mouth.

Zhuang Wu said expressionlessly, “Gege, should I call you Jiejie¹Older sister?”

“……”

“You’re so graceful.” Zhuang Wu told Qin Qiyue the reason without waiting for him to ask.

“…..”

“With your personality, should I call you Meimei²Younger sister?” Qin Qiyue retorted.

Zhuang Wu thought Qin Qiyue would call him mentally ill, but Qin Qiyue actually cooperated with him and responded.

He was a little flattered and responded again, “Sure, from now on I’ll call you Jiejie and you’ll call me Meimei.”

“………”

When Qin Qiyue arrived at the door of Zhuang Wu’s house while carrying him, he didn’t know what else to do. He didn’t want Wen Jia to see him carrying Zhuang Wu on his back. What if there was a misunderstanding?

But Zhuang Wu sprained his ankle and couldn’t walk in by himself.

After thinking it over again and again, Qin Qiyue knocked on Zhuang Wu’s house.

Soon someone came to open the door. Wen Jia knew that it was Zhuang Wu who came back, but she did not expect to see this kind of scene when she opened the door. She immediately felt embarrassed.

Qin Qiyue and Wen Jia looked at each other for a few seconds. Similarly feeling awkward, the former could only take the initiative to explain, “Zhuang Wu sprained his foot and couldn’t walk, so I carried him back.”

After finding out the reason, Wen Jia grinned. “Is that so? Thank you so much, Qiyue. Give Zhuang Wu to me and I will bring him in.”

Zhuang Wu interrupted them anxiously, “Mom, you can’t hold me or carry me on your back, just let Qiyue-Gege carry me in.”

When Wen Jia asked him to hand Zhuang Wu over to her, Qin Qiyue had already planned to let Zhuang Wu go, but Zhuang Wu always found ways to make things difficult for him.

“It’s okay, Auntie. I’ll carry him inside. It’s only a few steps away.” If Qin Qiyue put Zhuang Wu down at this moment, it would easily make the other person think that she disliked Zhuang Wu and didn’t want to carry him.

Of course he couldn’t let Wen Jia think that way, so he could only help Zhuang Wu.

In fact, what Zhuang Wu said was right. Wen Jia really couldn’t hold or carry Zhuang Wu, so she didn’t stop Qin Qiyue from carrying Zhuang Wu. She just stepped aside to make way for them to come in.

After putting Zhuang Wu on the sofa, Qin Qiyue said goodbye to Wen Jia, “Then Auntie, I’ll go first.”

“Brother Qiyue, please stay and have dinner.” Zhuang Wu didn’t want Qin Qiyue to leave so soon.

Although Wen Jia didn’t know when Zhuang Wu sprained his ankle, they came back after such a long time after all, so Qin Qiyue probably carried Zhuang Wu for quite a while. Besides, she was very good friends with Qin Qiyue’s parents, and she liked Qin Qiyue very much.

“I still…” Qin Qiyue wanted to find an excuse.

“Don’t go.” Wenjia also said, “Stay here and have a meal. It’s a token of my gratitude for bringing Zhuang Wu back.”

The pair teamed up to ask him to stay. Qin Qiyue was too embarrassed to refuse, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, “Okay, thank you… Auntie for the treat.”

Just like that, Wen Jia went to the kitchen to cook. Zhuang Wu was still pretending that he sprained his foot and naturally half-layed on the sofa and did not go to help, while Qin Qiyue sat upright.

Zhuang Wu teased, “Gege, why are you so concerned about your image in front of me?”
