Chapter 47
The Second Intimate Contact of the Same Day
Damn it!
Qi Viet hastily pushed the Omega away and sat up, his face flushed as he stammered an explanation: "Ah, this... this was an accident."
The soft sensation seemed to linger on his lips, slightly warm. Qi Viet's voice grew quieter and quieter. He felt his throat go dry and unconsciously licked his lips.
The Omega had kissed him here!!
Qi Viet's movements froze.
*Boom.* His mind erupted into a chaotic mess, completely going on strike.
Jiang You's expression didn't change at all. Even after being pushed away by Qi Viet, he remained very calm, as if the person who had just lost their first kiss wasn't him.
"Yeah, I know."
Hearing Jiang You say this, Qi Viet wanted to say something but didn't know what. His mouth opened and closed. In the end, it was Jiang You who stood up first.
"I'm going to the restroom."
"Uh, yeah, go ahead," Qi Viet stammered, almost biting his tongue.
When the restroom door closed, Qi Viet let out a long sigh. Caring nothing about whether the floor was dirty, he lay flat on his back, covering his eyes with one hand while touching his lips with the other.
"Damn, that was thrilling," Qi Viet muttered.
Locking the restroom door, Jiang You walked to the mirror with his head lowered. He calmly turned on the faucet to wash his hands, then splashed water onto his face. The water was very cold, but his burning face didn't cool down because of it.
Because his movements were a bit rough, the long hair on both sides of his head got wet and clumped together, making him very uncomfortable. He reached out, took off the wig, threw it into the sink, and looked up at himself in the mirror.
Due to his beautiful appearance, wearing female clothing didn't feel out of place at all. Water droplets rolled down his cheeks and dripped into the sink. His fair face was flushed, and his eyes were watery, making him look very easy to bully.
Jiang You's fingers brushed over his lips, then rested on his chest. The thumping of his heart became exceptionally loud in the quiet restroom. He felt his heart beating abnormally fast, especially when he thought of the Alpha still waiting for him outside. Jiang You felt like a boiled shrimp.
Like... a young girl in love. A look of daze and confusion flashed in Jiang You's eyes.
Would a normal person feel so fluttered just from intimate contact with a friend?
【 Hey, Jiang You, you, you, you... 】
Since today was the day he had promised Qi Viet to wear female clothing, Jiang Qi had remained awake to watch Jiang You make a fool of himself. He had seen everything that just happened.
Jiang Qi didn't know what to feel upon seeing his beloved and his primary personality kiss. To say he was jealous—well, this body was also his, so it could count as the two of them kissing. But to say he was happy—he couldn't feel happy no matter what.
Jiang You lowered his head, pursing his lips in a daze: 【 What about me? 】
Jiang Qi was choked up.
Just as Jiang You thought Jiang Qi wouldn't speak anymore, he heard the other stammeringly ask, "How did it feel?"
How did it feel?
Jiang You pursed his lips.
It was a bit... soft.
Like the cotton candy he had occasionally eaten as a child, unexpectedly soft and sweet.
Jiang Qi sensed the complex emotions in Jiang You's heart. For a moment, it was hard to identify what exactly this feeling contained, but he was certain there wasn't a single shred of disgust in it.
Jiang Qi wasn't as slow as Jiang You. Once he realized this feeling lacked any disgust, Jiang Qi understood.
Jiang You liked Qi Viet.
Jiang Qi fell silent.
A sour feeling spread through his heart, but he couldn't tell if this emotion belonged to Jiang You, Jiang Qi, or both.
When Jiang You came out of the restroom, Qi Viet had already adjusted his state of mind. He was sitting on the rug next to the TV, holding a gamepad, with a drum beside him. Seeing him come out, Qi Viet's ears showed a tendency to turn red again. He cleared his throat: "Want to play a game? Lan Yunjie's company just released a new game, it's quite interesting."
Jiang You also sat down on the rug, tucking his slightly damp hair behind his ear and giving a soft "okay." He gave a warning beforehand: "I'm not very good at playing."
Qi Viet didn't care and said, "It's fine, we're just playing for fun. Winning or losing doesn't matter."
But Qi Viet didn't expect that Jiang You didn't even know the most basic operations.
Looking at the "godlike movement" of the blue character representing Jiang You, Qi Viet was speechless.
Why was it that just rowing a boat across a river could cause Jiang You's character to get lost and drown?
When the game failed again, Qi Viet leaned closer to Jiang You to guide him: "This button is to move forward, these two are to jump forward, this one is to attack or collect, and this one controls the direction of the boat..."
Qi Viet was so focused that he didn't notice the distance between them narrowing. Jiang You pursed his lips and stared at the gamepad, looking as if he half-understood. When he turned his head to say something, his nose brushed against the other's nose.
Their breaths mingled, and an inexplicable feeling of intimacy arose.
Both of them froze. Qi Viet's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. As if receiving a signal, both of them snapped out of it and quickly averted their gazes.
The second time.
The second intimate contact of the same day. Qi Viet stared blankly at the gamepad in front of him, his heart pounding wildly, unable to calm down.
On the other side, Jiang You's face was also flushed, his fingers curling slightly. His mind replayed the scene from just now, and images of his time spent with Qi Viet flashed one after another. The gentle ripples in his heart gradually turned into crashing waves.
Jiang Qi felt the fluctuations in Jiang You's heart: 【 What are you thinking about? 】
【 Thinking about Qi Viet. 】
Jiang Qi was stunned: 【 You... 】
Jiang You's gaze was somewhat dazed: 【 It seems I like Qi Viet. 】
When he didn't reject intimate contact with an Alpha at all, he knew he had a favorable impression of Qi Viet.
For Jiang You, this was nothing to deny. Now it was just further confirmed.
Jiang Qi fell silent.
【 But the person he likes is you. 】
Jiang You lowered his eyes, slowly stating the truth.
Jiang Qi was startled, then sneered: 【 But I don't like him. 】
As he said this, Jiang Qi felt a sharp pain in his heart, his tone carrying an inexplicable trace of bitterness.
Jiang You's hands tightened, and he looked up at the Alpha opposite him.
Jiang Qi had spoken casually but didn't receive a response from Jiang You. Gradually, he felt as if Jiang You had made a very important decision.
A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. *No way, right?*
Qi Viet didn't know what Jiang You and Jiang Qi were talking about at this moment. He felt like he was about to be roasted alive. This was terrifying. The Omega wouldn't think he was intentionally taking advantage of him, right?!
Just as Qi Viet was experiencing a mix of joy, embarrassment, and anxiety, he heard the Omega call him.
"Brother Qi."
Qi Viet raised his head, looking at Jiang You in confusion.
Those amber eyes were as bright as autumn lake water, filled with gentleness, and also carrying a hint of determination and calmness. This was the first time Qi Viet had seen such a gentle gaze from Jiang You.
【 I like you. 】
"Brother Qi, back up. You're bumping into me." Jiang Qi immediately "went online," blocking the words Jiang You was about to utter.
Qi Viet backed up embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't notice."
After that, Qi Viet felt something was off and blinked: "Jiang Qi?"
Wasn't this Jiang You's time?
Jiang Qi gave an expressionless "yeah": "Jiang You said he doesn't know how to play, so he let me play instead."
Jiang You frowned: 【 What are you doing? 】
Seeing Qi Viet didn't ask further, Jiang Qi let out a sigh of relief and lowered his eyes, his tone unhappy: 【 I should be asking you. If I hadn't come out, were you going to confess to Qi Viet? 】
Jiang You: 【 Yes. 】
Seeing Jiang You "unrepentant," Jiang Qi said angrily, "Great, you're really something. You just rejected him a few days ago, and today you want to confess to him?"
Jiang You was stunned: 【 But I like him now. 】
Jiang You seemed like a cold person who didn't care about his surroundings, but his inner self was actually much simpler than Jiang Qi's. Liking was liking; he didn't think too much.
Previously, he hadn't realized he liked Qi Viet, so he rejected him flatly. But now that he discovered he liked Qi Viet, he didn't mind admitting it. Even if Qi Viet rejected him because the person he liked was Jiang Qi and not him, he would accept it.
Jiang Qi didn't know how to describe his feelings: "Then do you want him to accept the existence of both of us alone?"
Jiang You was puzzled: 【 Why? You don't like him anyway, and do you like sharing affection into two parts? 】
Jiang Qi didn't want to.
How could one part divided into two compare to a complete affection?
He liked Qi Viet. At that time, he could feel Qi Viet also liked him, but he still didn't want to reveal his feelings. Aside from worrying that he would disappear, there was another reason.
Both Jiang You and Jiang Qi possessed possessiveness deep in their bones. If you like me, you cannot like anyone else. You can only like me, belonging to me forever.
Jiang Qi: "If so, why do you want to confess?"
Jiang You: 【 Shouldn't I confess? 】
Jiang Qi: "You know I don't like him, and this body is half mine. Even if he accepts, where do you plan to put me? And if he doesn't accept, why say it and trouble him?"
Jiang You: 【 I want to express my feelings. Even if he doesn't like me, I can accept it. 】
Jiang Qi fell silent, thought for a moment, and said, "Fine, but you must wait. Wait until I disappear before you confess."
Jiang You was stunned: 【 What do you mean? 】
Jiang Qi sneered: "I'll disappear in the future, leaving you a complete body. At that time, the love you receive will be complete."
【 Why disappear? 】
Jiang Qi lowered his eyes: "Just intuition."
Jiang You frowned but didn't ask further. He knew that even if he asked, Jiang Qi wouldn't say.
【 Okay, I understand. 】
Jiang You didn't ask further, and at the same time, he was no longer in the mood to confess to Qi Viet.
Jiang Qi felt he was truly despicable. He knew his words would make Jiang You hesitate, yet he still said them.
Jiang Qi couldn't be with Qi Viet, nor did he want to see Jiang You confess and be with Qi Viet. At least before he disappeared, he didn't want his beloved to be with another personality.
He knew Qi Viet also had feelings for Jiang You. Even if the probability of Jiang You's successful confession was only fifty percent, he didn't want Jiang You to try, to obtain what he himself yearned for but dared not seek.
So pathetic, not like Brother Qi at all.
Jiang Qi curled his lips in self-mockery.
"That way is a dead end!"
Qi Viet didn't notice the thoughts of the Omega beside him; he thought Jiang Qi really wanted to play.
Therefore, he also seriously played with Jiang Qi. Who would have thought that the character representing Jiang Qi would keep circling around and couldn't get out. Qi Viet was about to reach the finish line, yet Jiang Qi was still in the middle of the road.
"Hurry up, to the left, there's poison behind." Qi Viet put down his gamepad, focusing on guiding Jiang Qi. If the Omega lost the game, would he cry? No matter how he thought about it, he felt he played games much better than Jiang Qi.
Qi Viet's eyes seemed to have been added with three hundred layers of filters, completely forgetting that Jiang Qi wasn't as obedient as he appeared. How could he cry over a game?
To make his holding back not too obvious, Qi Viet waited for Jiang Qi to get out of the dead end before he started moving. Of course, he thought for a long time before entering a dead end himself. By the time he got out, Jiang Qi had reached the finish line. Seeing the large "Victory" appear over his head, Qi Viet finally let out a sigh of relief.
"You're really good!" Qi Viet praised sincerely.
The dating guide said that sincerely praising the other party would make them happy and increase their favorability toward you.
Qi Viet felt he had done very well.
Why did Jiang Qi enter a dead end? Moreover, with Jiang Qi's eyesight, how could he not see that Qi Viet was holding back?
Jiang Qi smiled at Qi Viet, then turned to let Jiang You out. After all, the stage this morning still belonged to Jiang You.
Just as Jiang Qi predicted, Jiang You didn't confess again for the rest of the morning.
