Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 321: Refuse to welcome

He should be happy.

Qin Xiao brushed his teeth numbly and spit out the fine foam in his mouth. Just as he was drooling, he was unexpectedly slapped in the face from behind by Miao Kaijie.

"You got up really early." Miao Kaijie yawned, patted his back, and said with emotion, "But you went to bed early yesterday, too."

Qin Xiao coughed a few times, spitting out the water that had nearly been choked into his trachea, and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Can you say hello when you come in?"

"Huh? We are all boys, what are you afraid of?" Miao Kaijie was puzzled and teased, "Are you inferior?"

Qin Xiao:……?

Qin Xiao was stunned for a long time, and finally understood what he meant from his playful gaze. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably: "What are you talking about?"

Miao Kaijie was very disappointed with his reaction: "Why are you so boring? It was just a joke. I wanted to see you angry... but you're neither angry nor smiling, sigh..."

Miao Kaijie sighed, then took his toothbrush, put it in his mouth and started washing.

Qin Xiao paused when he heard his words: "...No one has ever played such a joke on me."

"Oh? Does that mean I'm your first time?" Miao Kaijie laughed and said vaguely, "Let's go eat together?"

"can."

Qin Xiao looked at the silent jade token for a while and then put it away.

At this time in the past, Mo Hanyu would contact me, but not today.

He should be happy.

Qin Xiao was dressed neatly. He looked at Miao Kaijie who was still pulling his tie, and walked forward to straighten his collar.

Mo Hanyu stopped pestering him. In such a prosperous city, before the competition where so many academies and sects competed, he would make better friends.

Qin Xiao twisted the hair hanging in front of his eyes, wondering if he should have it cut.

He believed that as long as Mo Hanyu wanted to interact with someone, there would be no problem.

After all, even if we ignore his keen insight, just his appearance and the fact that he acts a little bit coquettishly in front of you are unbearable.

Qin Xiao suddenly thought of Mo Hanyu's blushing and shy face yesterday, and how he treated others like this...

Qin Xiao frowned, his heart began to ache again.

Don't think so much.

Qin Xiao told himself. This was Mo Hanyu's freedom and his choice.

It was he who had been pushing Mo Hanyu away, so it was understandable even if Mo Hanyu finally decided to leave.

Qin Xiao and Miao Kaijie went to the breakfast shop that he and Mo Hanyu often went to, but they didn't see Mo Hanyu until they finished eating. Qin Xiao looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock.

"Hey, Yin Xihui?" Miao Kaijie's eyes lit up and he waved behind him.

Qin Xiao turned his head. Yin Xihui bought a cup of soy milk and some buns, looked over here when he heard the voice, and turned around and walked over.

"Why are you the only one here? Where is Mo Hanyu?" Miao Kaijie glanced at the expressionless Qin Xiao and asked with a smile.

"He's still sleeping." Yin Xihui smiled and glanced at Qin Xiao, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "I'll bring him some food back."

"Oh……"

"Aren't you going to go look for Senior Xia and the others?" Yin Xihui asked, "Didn't the training match that wasn't finished yesterday be pushed to today? You watched for a long time yesterday, so why aren't you going?"

"It's still early, why rush?" Miao Kaijie took a bite of the bun and looked at Qin Xiao, "Are you going?"

"Go and take a look." Qin Xiao lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice.

still sleeping?

Qin Xiao frowned slightly. He knew that Mo Hanyu would occasionally sleep in, but he had never woken up so late, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"He's not going." Yin Xihui seemed to see through Qin Xiao's thoughts and took the initiative to say, "He said he wanted to go around today."

Qin Xiao met the two people's puzzled gazes, paused, and responded softly.

"What happened to them?"

On the way, Miao Kaijie leaned over and whispered in Yin Xihui's ear.

"You don't know?" Yin Xihui looked at him in surprise.

"How would I know? It's not like you don't know him..." Miao Kaijie glanced at Qin Xiao who seemed to be thinking about something and muttered softly, "Did Mo Hanyu tell you?"

"I only said...half of it." Yin Xihui thought of the scene when he returned home last night and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't sleep all night."

Miao Kaijie looked at him strangely: "What did you two do?"

Yin Xihui: "... Let's talk by candlelight at night. Can you clear your mind a little?"

"What are you saying? I was clearly asking a serious question." Miao Kaijie said in surprise, "It can only be said that the speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. You are thinking something dirty and you are framing me."

Yin Xihui: ...

Yin Xi smiled faintly, glanced at Qin Xiao who remained silent, and turned his eyes slightly: "Do you want to go see him?"

Qin Xiao was stunned: "What?"

"He wasn't awake before I left, so you can take a few pictures of him sleeping and record his snoring." Yin Xihui said with a smile.

"You can also secretly paint a few turtles on his face!" Miao Kaijie's eyes lit up and he urged, "Look at his face, it's obvious that he's a good candidate for painting."

Qin Xiao: ...

"...No." Qin Xiao didn't want to see him for the time being. He shook his head and paused for a while, then said, "He doesn't snore when he sleeps."

Yin Xihui: ...

Miao Kaijie looked at him and said nothing.

"Then let's go. Aren't we going to watch the fun?" Miao Kaijie put his hand on Qin Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to be on stage today?" Qin Xiao asked, "Don't you think it's more likely that you'll be the one making the fun?"

Miao Kaijie: "...Qin Xiao."

Qin Xiao: "Hmm?"

Miao Kaijie smiled fakely: "Will saying this make you happy?"

Qin Xiao thought for a moment: "...Is it okay?"

Miao Kaijie took a deep breath and said, "Then don't say too much in the future."

Qin Xiao: “…Oh.”

Here, Yin Xihui returned to the room. The curtains were drawn and the lights were on. Mo Hanyu walked out of the bathroom, apparently having just taken a shower.

"Have you finished your meal?" Mo Hanyu greeted him.

"Yeah." Yin Xihui put the breakfast down for him and observed his expression, "Have you cried enough?"

"...It's not that exaggerated." Mo Hanyu said helplessly, "It's only for a moment."

Yin Xihui smiled: "So, what do you think?"

Yin Xihui came back a little late last night. When he entered the room, he saw Mo Hanyu sitting on the sofa wiping tears without saying a word. His eyes were red from crying, and he refused to answer no matter what he asked. After crying, he sat on the sofa in a daze again. He finally spoke in the early morning, briefly repeating Qin Xiao's words, and then sat there until dawn.

Mo Hanyu took the soy milk he handed over, it was sweet.

"Do you have any ideas?" Mo Hanyu took a bite of the bun and looked at him quietly.

This answer was not what Yin Xihui had expected. He smiled and said, "It's not really an idea, it's just a suggestion at best..."

Mo Hanyu: "Oh?"

……

"This beating... was a bit brutal."

Qin Xiao, who had been in a daze for a long time, looked at Miao Kaijie who finally came out and uttered these words.

Miao Kaijie looked at him inexplicably: "How can you say that?"

Miao Kaijie gestured to his arm. Qin Xiao tried to argue: "That's because——"

Miao Kaijie chuckled twice and turned his head, saying that he didn't want to listen.

Qin Xiao: ...

Liu Xiangyue, who was fighting against Miao Kaijie, glanced at him and suddenly said, "You are very good, why do you want to be in that kind of academy?"

After these words were spoken, the air became quiet.

"Liu Xiangyue!" Mo Hanshang frowned and looked unfriendly.

Liu Xiangyue ignored him and said, "Isn't what I said wrong? It's not just you. You are obviously talented and not evil cultivators. Why don't you find a better academy? A wise bird should choose the right tree to roost in."

Mo Hanshang's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to say something.

"Maybe... because I'm not a bird?" Miao Kaijie scratched his head and replied jokingly, "No need to find any good wood."

Liu Xiangyue frowned: "I'm not kidding you."

He was able to hurt her so badly. Among people of the same rank, he could be considered the best in the whole Yuhua. Why would he waste his time in such an academy?

"I'm not kidding you either." Miao Kaijie was still smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Liu Xiangyue looked at him for a while, turned her head and said nothing more.

Mo Hanshang stared at her and clicked his tongue for a moment.

Qin Xiao didn't seem to notice their strange conversation. He looked at them absentmindedly for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

Xia Wule was in good shape and could play two more games today. He was not needed here and he had no interest in it.

For three consecutive days, Qin Xiao didn't see Mo Hanyu again. He didn't know whether he avoided him on purpose or it was just a coincidence. In any case, he didn't see even a strand of his hair.

Qin Xiao stood naked in the shower, staring at the floor, letting the cold water droplets soak his entire body.

So...it's the latter.

Qin Xiao brushed away the foam on his hair, revealing a stern brow, and thought casually.

Although he himself didn't want to meet Mo Hanyu for the time being, it was indeed sad that he hadn't received any news from him in the past few days.

Qin Xiao frowned, his eyes revealing a sadness that he himself had not noticed. He washed off the foam on his body, simply wiped his hair, walked out in a bathrobe, and sat down on the bed.

Should he...take the initiative to look for it?

Apologize to Mo Hanyu? His words that day were indeed a bit too harsh, but he didn't expect Mo Hanyu's reaction to be so intense and that he would feel so heavy.

Qin Xiao frowned in confusion. He really knew nothing about love. At first, he really had no feelings for Mo Hanyu. He just thought she was a child who needed care. But gradually, he got used to Mo Hanyu's chattering around him and her company. When he knew that Mo Hanyu liked him, his first reaction was not disgust and rejection, but thinking about the possibilities in the future.

If Mo Hanyu was not the reincarnation of Mo Ze, and there was no possibility that he would suddenly recover his memory and transform into another person, Qin Xiao thought... he would probably agree.

He did not reject Mo Hanyu's feelings, nor did he dislike Mo Hanyu's intimate behavior towards him, he even... liked her a little.

At the moment when their lips and teeth touched, his whole body felt like it was electrified, and he felt numb to the bone. He clearly hadn't activated his attribute.

After getting used to Mo Hanyu's hugs, he quite liked them. Although he didn't take the initiative many times, he still liked the feeling of being in the other's arms.

Make him feel...that he is needed.

The warm and soft embrace made him feel a sense of attachment.

But now there is no more.

Qin Xiao lowered his head, and the towel he used to wipe his hair fell down. He reached out and put it aside, closed his eyes, and his eyes felt a little sore.

If... he goes to Mo Hanyu and asks him if they can still be friends, will he get a positive answer?

Qin Xiao didn’t know, he didn’t even know how Mo Hanyu saw him now.

His words were blunt and harsh, almost degrading Mo Hanyu into a despicable hooligan. But he knew in his heart that he actually acquiesced, and there was also his own selfish motive.

Whenever Mo Hanyu was close to him, although he didn't show it on his face, he was very happy in his heart. Because he could feel that he was loved by others, even if it was just Mo Hanyu's momentary illusion, just a short-lived illusion.

Qin Xiao drank a sip of cold water and felt that the water chilled his heart and threatened to flow out of his eyes.

Qin Xiao sniffed and rubbed his eyes twice.

How about...trying it out?

First, use the reason of apology to test Mo Hanyu's attitude, and if his attitude is gentle, then ask the second half of the sentence?

Qin Xiao didn't know what to do, and whether his idea was a good one. After thinking it over, he decided to ask a girl he was familiar with and who had experience in love.

"what?"

Nangong Huaxue lowered her head and was busy reviewing memorials sent in from all over the country. She looked at him dazedly and said, "Say it again."

"Or... forget it." Qin Xiao saw that she was busy and couldn't bear to disturb her.

Nangong Huaxue shook her head repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, go ahead, I didn't hear you clearly just now."

"That's it..." Qin Xiao looked at her busy appearance and pursed his lips, not knowing what he was nervous about. "I have a classmate. I have a good relationship with him. But he encountered a problem and wanted to ask me what I think. I have no experience, so I thought I would ask you."

"Yeah." Nangong Huaxue nodded, still without raising her eyes, writing furiously, "You say."

"It's just... He liked someone before, and he had been with that person for a long time, so he wanted to confess his feelings to that person, but that person rejected him. My classmate pursued her for a while, and during that time he tried to hold hands and kiss her, and that person didn't reject him, but he still didn't agree..."

Nangong Huaxue frowned and looked up at him: "——You continue."

Qin Xiao felt guilty after being looked at by her. He looked away and touched his neck: "Then, it was... he kissed that person again a few days ago, but that person scolded him, saying that he was reckless and disrespectful. My classmate might have been hurt, so he ignored that person for a few days, but now that person has come back to him and apologized to him. He asked if they could still be friends -"

Qin Xiao glanced at Meng Liyun's face, which was extremely ugly. His heart suddenly jumped, but he remained calm: "He was very distressed and asked me what to do... What do you think--"

"Of course I refuse!"

Nangong Huaxue said without hesitation and firmly.

Qin Xiao: ...

"Is that person so weird? He didn't say anything when they kissed - if he really didn't want to, he could have slapped him twice, but he didn't do anything and then turned around and cursed at others? Oh my God."

Nangong Huaxue was simply unbelievable: "At the beginning, Wang Ji and I couldn't do it all day long because we really couldn't do it, but kissing was acceptable, so I didn't refuse. If he really didn't like it, why didn't you interrupt? Can't you just slap him in the face to make him sober up?"

"What is this? Playing hard to get!"

Qin Xiao: ...
