Accompanying Each Other

As the words left his mouth, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Gui Yue sobered up, recalling what he had just said, and only wished he could explode on the spot.
Jiang Qi actually didn't know how to respond either, his face felt a little hot, but seeing Gui Yue opposite him, red as a cooked shrimp, a mischievous thought arose in Jiang Qi's heart.
"Hurry up and eat your noodles." Gui Yue tilted his head, not looking directly at Jiang Qi, uncomfortably crossing his legs, trying to change the subject.
Jiang Qi obediently nodded, slowly finished the rest of his noodles, then put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Eating that fast?
Gui Yue was about to say something, but when he met those clear, beautiful eyes, he choked, unable to remember what he wanted to say.
"?"
Jiang Qi looked at "super adorable's" expression in confusion, a question mark slowly appearing in his mind.
"Come back with me." Gui Yue paused slightly, then pretended to add, "I've also taken a few days off, and besides, didn't you want to see the starry sky in the village?"
This was something the two had agreed upon early on.
That evening, the streets were brightly lit, with only a few scattered stars visible in the sky. Jiang Qi had been called out by Gui Yue.
The young man had said: "Stars are rarely seen in the city, but there are many in the village, the sky is full of them. I can take you to see them someday."
Under the streetlights, the young man's dark eyes seemed to merge with the starry sky, appearing even brighter.
He thought Gui Yue's words that day were just casual remarks.
Jiang Qi quirked his lips: "What a coincidence?"
Gui Yue feigned naturalness: "Yeah, how many days are you staying in S City?"
Jiang Qi retorted: "How long are you staying?"
How would I know how long I'm staying? I was supposed to leave today...
Gui Yue immediately became wary. If the time he said was different from the time Jiang Qi took off, wouldn't Jiang Qi stay with that Idiot X and return with him?
"You say first." Gui Yue's fingers scrolled on his phone screen, looking very natural.
Jiang Qi secretly raised an eyebrow, looked at "super adorable," and suddenly said, "Alright, I'll stay for three more days then go back."
Gui Yue feigned surprise, looking at Jiang Qi: "What a coincidence, me too."
His acting was so bad that Jiang Qi didn't want to expose it.
"What a coincidence indeed." Jiang Qi also feigned surprise, giving Gui Yue a lot of face.
"Then don't bother that Idiot... ahem, X anymore." Gui Yue was a little agitated, almost blurting out the nickname he had for X. He covered his mouth with his hand, suppressing the rising curve of his lips.
Jiang Qi clearly heard the word "Idiot," quirked his lips, and tilted his head teasingly: "If I don't bother X, then I'll bother you."
"I'm not bothered!" Gui Yue coughed: "My grandpa really likes children. He'll be happy if you come."
Jiang Qi's gaze lingered on Gui Yue's flushed ears, his amber eyes curving, as if he had discovered something interesting. He nodded: "Then I'll trouble you a bit. Let me tell X."
Gui Yue tried to suppress his increasingly bright smile: "No problem, you go ahead."
Then Gui Yue saw the Omega opposite him pick up his phone and stand up, preparing to go outside to make a call. The smile on his lips immediately vanished.
He didn't even dare to make a call in front of him anymore? He had just called X right in front of him, hadn't he?
Gui Yue pouted. Who cared what they talked about!
Damn it! He didn't care!
Jiang Qi nodded. As he stood up, he briefly caught a glimpse of Gui Yue's aggrieved expression. His fingertips trembled slightly, as if pondering something.
Regardless of what Gui Yue was thinking, Jiang Qi didn't stop. He walked straight out of the restaurant and made the call.
"Hello." X said with a teasing tone: "Little You, what do you need from me?"
Hearing X's "polite" voice, Jiang Qi coldly said: "If you don't talk properly to me, you won't need that mouth anymore."
X wasn't scared, he chuckled: "Boss, are you alone now?"
Jiang Qi hummed: "What was your attitude in front of Gui Yue?"
"Boss, don't you think your classmate cares a lot about you? Teasing young Alphas like that is much more interesting." X said mischievously.
Cares a lot about me?
Jiang Qi had noticed that long ago.
It wasn't strange for friends to care about each other.
Initially, Jiang Qi thought this care was no different from the care between friends, but recalling Gui Yue's expression in front of X, as well as his obvious displeasure, or rather, jealousy, when he went out to call X, that was not the attitude of friends.
Jiang Qi's gaze was complex. He turned his head to look through the restaurant's glass window, meeting Gui Yue's eyes inside.
Those bright, dark eyes stared intently at him. Jiang Qi felt a little uncomfortable, sensing something was off, and even wanted to check if there was anything wrong with his clothes.
"Boss, when are you coming back?"
The voice on the other end of the line suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiang Qi's thoughts.
"I'm not coming back. In two days, I'll return to A City with Gui Yue." Jiang Qi was silent for a moment, then continued.
The other end seemed a little surprised by Jiang Qi's decision. X didn't speak. After a moment, X began to speak, his voice seemingly carrying a smile: "Alright, Boss, have fun, don't worry about anything else."
Jiang Qi chuckled softly, humming in agreement.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gui Yue stood behind the glass, quite unhappy to see Jiang Qi smiling.
Why was he smiling so brightly at that flashy idiot?
Gui Yue angrily bit his nails, his face displeased.
Does the Omega really like me?
His slowly built confidence began to waver.
"Go home and rewatch the 'Brother's Here' video and check again." Gui Yue thought this in his head, completely unaware that the Omega had ended the call and was walking towards him.
Gui Yue was still biting his nails and thinking. Hearing footsteps, he subconsciously looked up, his eyes meeting Jiang Qi's complex expression. He suddenly froze, looking utterly bewildered.
Jiang Qi secretly sighed, "super adorable" was truly naive.
Gui Yue immediately sat up straight, placed his fingers on the table, and calmly asked: "Done with the call?"
Jiang Qi nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
Gui Yue stood up, one hand holding the paper bag, the other shaking his phone, saying: "Uncle Zhao is done with work. He'll drive us back."
Jiang Qi obediently nodded. As for Gui Yue possibly having feelings beyond friendship for him, he unconsciously ignored it, not wanting to think about it further.

"What's with that face?" Meng Si Zhe bit into an apple, looking at X with annoyance.
X smiled, looking down at his phone screen. Hearing this, he gently patted Meng Si Zhe's red head.
Soft, felt very good.
"What did you say to Brother Jiang Qi?" Meng Si Zhe looked at X suspiciously, "Do you also have a habit of teasing young Alphas?"
X smiled, leaning bonelessly against the sofa, gently patting Meng Si Zhe's head, his face full of affection: "You could say that, it depends on the person."
After speaking, X went upstairs to change. Meng Si Zhe sat on the sofa, biting into an apple, his face full of doubt: "Depends on the person?"
"Depends on the person?"
That Alpha with a problematic brain? Could X have a BA fetish?!
Meng Si Zhe was horrified, the apple in his hand almost falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, X went upstairs to his bedroom, took off his upper garment to reveal his lean, muscular physique, and suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, sighing.
He never expected someone to like his boss.
What surprised him even more was that his boss had feelings for that young Alpha.
Truly! A match made in heaven?
Sigh, luckily he had been making "romantic" videos for so many years, giving him a keen eye for detecting affection.
By then, if everything succeeded, his boss would have to give him a big red packet!
