But he never would've imagined that he and Qiao Qing would be moving so fast!
He wanted to spoil that little girl for a few more years. How could she have fallen so fast?!
As he thought about it, he looked over to Qiao Qing nervously, "Qingqing, did you lie to me just now?"
Qiao Qing didn't know what he meant, "What?"
Qi Yusen, "Are you together with him or not? Are you too shy to admit it?"
QIao Qing paused, "We are not together."
Right?
At least she thought they weren't. That man, however, had taken up the boyfriend role very quickly.
Qi Yusen didn't sigh in relief at her response, "Qingqing, your tone isn't certain."
Qiao Qing, "..."
Was it that obvious?
Qi Yusen went up to her and carefully embraced her.
"Qingqing, I cannot control your heart and I cannot stand in your way if you want a boyfriend. However, can you not leave me behind when you do get a boyfriend?"
Qiao Qing was calm about all of this and hugged him back, "Brother, what are you saying? It is true that I have my guards down towards him, but we are nothing official."
"Your place in my heart is not replaceable. As long as you don't abandon me, I won't leave you."
Qi Yusen, "You promise?"
Qiao Qing laughed, "I promise."
Qi Yusen didn't feel any better on the inside. His tone remained sour, "I want to evict him."
Qiao Qing paused but laughed a little harder, "You can make the call."
Qi Yusen was silent for a while before he sighed, "Whatever. It's hard to evict someone so shameless."
Qiao Qing once again didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Qi Yusen hugged onto her for a long while. Then, he finally spoke his thoughts, "Qingqing, you need to value your own body. You're only 18. Even if you are starting to accept him, you need to be careful over how far you want to take it."
"I will always be the person you can rely on. If he ever forces you to do anything you don't want to do, tell me, and I won't be kind to him!"
Qiao Qing paused yet again. She felt a wave of heat converging in her chest.
What good things did she do in her life to deserve a family member who cared about her well-being so much?
Touched to the core, Qiao Qing nodded, "Brother, I know what you mean. I know how to protect myself."
Qi Yusen was silent yet again. However, he didn't let Qiao Qing go.
On the side, Ning Ye watched how worried the young master was and how insane he was acting. He was crazy to act like the sky was falling. Ning Ye rolled his eyes.
They weren't even together yet and he was already reacting this way.
If they do end up together and get married, the young master would likely go nuts.
When he thought of this, he coughed, "Young master, the food is getting cold."
"Oh, is it?" Qi Yusen had a realization and finally, unwillingly let Qiao Qing go. He got some of her favorite dishes onto her plate, "Qingqing, eat."
"Okay. Brother, you eat too." Qiao Qing ate the food Qi Yusen gave her and felt bad inside.
Right now, it was difficult for her to understand this emotion she was feeling. It was hard for her to understand him.
But she didn't want this man, who was normally calm but occasionally childish, to be sad.
After dinner, Qiao Qing went to the library with a heavy heart.
She read until it was 10 pm. Then, she returned to her room to wash up and sleep.
Who knew that the moment she entered her room and before she could even turn on the light, a shadow pushed her against the wall and pressed against her.
At this hour, other than Jun Yexuan, there was nobody else who would break into her room.
As she felt the attack of the hot breath inching towards her lips, Qiao Qing gritted, "Jun Yexuan, you're taking it too far!"
