Chapter 5: The Soul-destroying Retribution

  Lying in bed, Fang Qing felt a bit uneasy. As soon as he thought that there was a man sleeping beside him, he couldn't calm down. For more than 20 years, his first time sharing a bed had been given to a man!

  Ah, can't sleep, what to do! Might as well count sheep. Opened my eyes to the ceiling, just about to start counting, when I felt a lot lighter beside me. Hmm, why is Xiao Qi getting up so late, could it be that he's going to the bathroom?

  He remembered that Xiao Qi had gone to the bathroom before getting into bed. He tossed and turned on the bed for a while, wondering if there was something wrong with the porridge he had cooked. Five minutes later, Xiao Qi came out, looking a bit off-color. Unfortunately, the light was not on, so he couldn't see very clearly.

  Fang Qing bit her lip, unsure whether to pretend to be asleep or get up and help Xiao Qi over. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

  He still hadn't fallen asleep, Xiao Qi's face was somewhat pale, and perhaps he really shouldn't have forced himself to drink that bowl of porridge. "Nothing, just slipped a bit when I went to the bathroom." His legs were now weak and numb, so he could only explain it like this.

  "Ah, does it hurt? Where did you fall?" Upon hearing this, Fang Qing couldn't possibly remain calm in bed. If he wasn't careful and fell on his spine, he might become paralyzed.

  Walked to Xiao Qi's side, hugged Xiao Qi and slowly walked towards the big bed, but accidentally stepped on a hard object, and the two directly fell to the ground. The warmth on his lips felt very familiar to Fang Qing.

  His cheeks were slightly hot, was he going to push Xiao Qi away now? With some hesitation, he placed his hand on Xiao Qi's chest, but felt a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

  Xiao Qi also felt it, slightly moving his lips apart, and a faint smile escaped from his mouth. Originally, this was a great opportunity that he shouldn't have let slip away. But his stomach really didn't feel comfortable, leaving him without any other distracting thoughts.

  "What's so funny, it's not like I wanted to kiss you." Shrugging off Xiao Qi, Fang Qing felt a bit hurt in her self-esteem. She stood up and lifted her sleeve to wipe her mouth, but somehow felt inexplicably puzzled.

  His heart is beating so fast, what's wrong?

  "I didn't say that, are you angry? I'm very weak now and can't get up myself." He directly flipped over and lay flat on the ground, his hand slightly stretched out in Fang Qing's direction, this awkward personality of his was really adorable.

  If it weren't for health concerns, I'd really like to pin him to the ground.

  "I'm not that easy to get angry." He pouted and pulled Xiao Qi up, putting his entire body weight on Fang Qing, almost causing the two of them to fall back down again.

  "Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow." He seemed to forget to tell Fang Qing that they were going to their parents' place for dinner tomorrow. Never mind, if he said it now, Fang Qing would definitely not be able to sleep even more.

  He lay down with his back to Xiao Qi, who hadn't even answered where he was going. But now that he opened his mouth again, it didn't look too good. He curled up his lips, after all, he and Xiao Qi were just cohabiting, no need to worry about him so much, hmm.

  The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Fang Qing was pulled out of bed by Xiao Qi. Hadn't he just gone to sleep not long ago? He must have dark circles under his eyes for sure, waaah.

  I'd love to keep sleeping, Fang Qing closed her eyes and followed Xiao Qi into the bathroom in a daze.

  Xiao Qi stopped brushing his teeth, only to feel a bump on his back from Fang Qing, almost falling into the toilet. Luckily, he steadied himself. What's going on? It's only been one day since Fang Qing moved in and he's already bumped into him so many times.

  Fang Qing covered her sore forehead, "What's wrong, why did you suddenly stop?"

  "I was going to ask you, where are you going?" Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow, it seemed that he shouldn't have asked Fang Qing to get up with him. Next time he would remember, this dazed and confused little cutie needed to sleep in.

  Fang Qing scratched his head awkwardly, "I just got up like this in the morning, don't mind it. By the way, why did we get up so early?" Even if we're going to the company for work, there's no need to rush like this, right?

  "Afterwards I'm going to see my parents, then I still have to go to work." As he spoke, Xiao Qi casually squeezed toothpaste for Fang Qing.

  Fang Qing only felt like he had been struck by lightning, and now he was supposed to go see his grandparents? "But I didn't sleep well today, my dark circles are really bad, what do I do?" He's doomed, he doesn't want to go.

  It is said that all mothers-in-law are fierce, if you pinch them, will it hurt?

  Thinking of those melodramatic TV dramas, Fang Qing felt like he was in a precarious situation. Last time he glanced at Xiao Qi's parents from afar, they all looked like elites.

  "It's okay, my parents won't mind these things." It seems like Fang Qing attaches great importance to his parents, which is a good sign.

  Fang Qing rubbed his originally messy hair, looking conflicted. "Xiao Qi, why don't you just go back yourself? I'm not ready yet." Ah, he didn't want to wear women's clothes after all.

  "No need to prepare anything, if you don't go, they will have a bad impression of you. You wouldn't want your sister to be bullied when she comes back in the future, would you?" A hint of dark light flashed in her eyes, and that woman thought about how to stop her from coming back at that time.

  Although the marriage certificate has his and Fang Qing's names on it, he actually had the ceremony with Fang Qing. Moreover, towards the second Miss Fang, he didn't have any good feelings. She was one of those spoiled women, if he wanted to, he wouldn't have waited until now to get married.

  Fang Qing was stunned for a moment, how could he forget that he was currently impersonating his sister. "Alright, I'll go."

  He felt a bit down as he picked up his toothbrush to brush his teeth, feeling quite unliberated. He was living in place of his sister, while she was enjoying herself somewhere unknown. After washing his face, he rubbed it vigorously, unable not to feel happy.

  As an older brother, he should take good care of his younger sister. Forcing a faint smile, Xiao Qi was actually quite nice to him. So he thought that he had just made a new friend and left home for a few days.

  That household, without him is no different from losing a servant. No, he's even worse than a servant because he doesn't do anything.

  Crouching down and hugging her knees with a hint of self-abasement, Fang Qing had always been optimistic about herself, but now she couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.

  Footsteps sounded from behind, Fang Qing didn't want to lift his head, the only person who would come in at this time was Xiao Qi. He was enveloped in a warm chest, which caught him off guard, he thought he would be ridiculed instead.

  "Fool, what are you thinking?" His words from this morning seemed to have hurt Fang Qing. If he could help it, he would rather not bring Fang Qing home and didn't want to see him like this.

  He shook his head slightly, "Nothing, I'm just brewing my emotions. When I get home, I'll tell Dad and Mom that you bullied me." He lifted his head with a brilliant smile, and he was the optimistic Fang Qing again.
