Who Could Bear It?

The bright light illuminated the entire room, and the milk-white curtains had been drawn, shutting out the night outside. Jiang You sat at his desk, quietly reading with his head down.

But after staring at it for a long time, he still couldn't absorb a single word.

Jiang You frowned and clutched his chest. Feeling a bit irritated and restless, he asked, "Jiang Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Ever since they returned home, Jiang Qi had been thinking about a mess of things, making it impossible for Jiang You to calm down either.

Jiang Qi snapped out of his thoughts in the subconscious. When Jiang You had laid everything out to Ji Yue, Jiang Qi had actually been fighting off sleepiness to quietly observe Ji Yue and Jiang You.

Seeing that Ji Yue still wanted to be friends with Jiang You, Jiang Qi had breathed a sigh of relief.

He still wanted to be friends with them; the situation wasn't too bad.

To avoid affecting Jiang You, Jiang Qi had tried his best not to think too much. But in the quiet of the night, thoughts that couldn't be hidden, no matter how hard he tried to suppress them, would still leak out a little.

[No, I'm thinking about "Super Cute."] Jiang Qi curled his lips, telling the truth.

Jiang You frowned. "Stop teasing Ji Yue."

"He likes you, yet you keep playing with him like this. Don't you think you're being too much?"

Jiang Qi said nothing. Two or three seconds later, Jiang Qi sneered, [I'm playing with his feelings?]

Jiang Qi was almost laughing from anger. If he could, of course he would want to be with "Super Cute" too!

But, he didn't deserve it.

He didn't deserve such a dazzling Ji Yue.

[That's right, Jiang You. I'm playing with Ji Yue's feelings. I just want to toy with him.]

Jiang Qi had a bad temper to begin with. Hearing Jiang You's interrogation made him even more upset, and now he completely exploded, deliberately talking nonsense.

The two personalities were originally one, not to mention their emotions sometimes influenced each other. The usually calm Jiang You barked angrily:

"Can you have some decency? What do you gain from teasing him?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi fell silent. A moment later, he hung his head and kicked the wooden bed hard. The bed, which had been conjured from the subconscious, suddenly shattered into pieces.

Looking at the ruined bed that could no longer be slept on, Jiang Qi's anger subsided.

In the subconscious, he could control everything, whether creating it out of nothing or destroying it, with just a single thought.

This made him feel like he had an independent, free consciousness, rather than being a dependent existence.

To be honest, Jiang Qi was feeling a bit hurt right now.

He had no decency?

If he really had no decency, he would have snatched Ji Yue away long ago!

Everyone else could hate Jiang Qi or misunderstand him, but Jiang You was the only one who shouldn't.

If he accepted Ji Yue's confession, what would the consequences be?

Jiang Qi knew that one day he would disappear.

Just like the day he suddenly appeared in this world, perhaps on the day Jiang You let go of the past, Jiang Qi would cease to exist.

What would Ji Yue do then?

Thinking this, Jiang Qi felt a bit bitter inside, but his words remained sharp.

[You care about Ji Yue so much? What? Do you like him?]

Jiang You had felt a strange, faint ache in his heart, but before he could understand it, he was stunned by Jiang Qi's sudden question.

He liked Ji Yue?

Jiang You found it baffling.

He only saw Ji Yue as a friend and had never had feelings that crossed that line.

If one of them liked Ji Yue, it should obviously be Jiang Qi, right? The time the two of them spent together was much longer than his.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Jiang You frowned and retorted. "Compared to me, it's much more likely that you like Ji Yue."

Jiang Qi was choked up, letting out a huff. "Not necessarily. After all, 'Super Cute' is so good, it would be understandable if you liked him."

Jiang You put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his temples, and sneered, "Yet I don't see you liking Ji Yue either."

Giving him a taste of his own medicine, neither of them gained the upper hand.

The two fell silent at the same time, ignoring each other.

In the quiet room, only the rustling sound was particularly clear. The pen tip stopped at his last note, and Jiang You closed the book he had bought. The thick book was bound in a hard cover with gilded English letters on it.

Since the day Jiang Qi told everything to Jiang You, Jiang You had bought this financial management book the next day.

It was filled with English, difficult language, and countless professional terms, yet Jiang You read it with great interest.

Jiang You leaned against the back of his chair, took off his glasses, and closed his eyes to rest.

[About the crossdressing thing, do you need to explain it to me?]

Jiang You suddenly remembered something, snapped his eyes open, and asked coldly.

Jiang Qi, who was trying to relax to prevent Jiang You from detecting his emotions and thoughts, suddenly flinched upon hearing Jiang You mention this.

Jiang You found out so quickly?

But it didn't matter if he knew.

Jiang Qi said very naturally, "Yes, didn't you say I owed 'Super Cute'? I promised 'Super Cute' to crossdress. You go, try to make 'Super Cute' happy."

"Don't try to brush me off." Jiang You tilted his head, expressionless. "Not a single word out of your mouth is true."

Jiang Qi stopped teasing Jiang You and said honestly, "I ate too much candy, 'Super Cute' got mad and punished me."

"And you obediently agreed?"

"Yeah..."

Jiang You was speechless. "Then go do it yourself. Why involve me?"

Jiang Qi said righteously, "Of course because the name signed is yours!"

Jiang You suddenly didn't know where to start scolding him. Don't think he couldn't feel Jiang Qi's gloating.

"Fine, I'll go find Ji Yue to change that name to yours." Jiang You retorted coldly. "After all, Ji Yue knows we are not the same person. Every debt has its debtor, right?"

Jiang Qi secretly thought this was bad. He knew that if Ji Yue was mad at him, he would definitely agree with Jiang You. Just thinking about having to go out in women's clothing with Ji Yue made Jiang Qi feel like he was about to disintegrate on the spot.

Always claiming to be the big boss, "cool guy" Jiang Qi felt that if he went out in women's clothes, he would rather stab himself.

"Jiang You, you're so cruel."

"Likewise."

The two who hurt each other shut their mouths again.

The atmosphere became quiet.

The phone lying face down on the desk suddenly vibrated, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Jiang You wondered who would call him at this hour.

Jiang You picked up the phone. The caller was Jiang Qi's WeChat friend, whose contact name was "Super Cute".

Jiang Qi, in the subconscious, also perked up his ears, extremely curious about what "Super Cute" wanted.

Pressing the green answer button, a slightly rapid panting of an Alpha came through the receiver.

Jiang You felt his ear tingle slightly and rubbed it.

"Jiang You?" Ji Yue had arrived at the villa district. He didn't know which villa Jiang You lived in, so he could only stand in the cold wind in front of the main gate of the villa district, looking at the magnificent villas opposite and sighing.

Like a poor boy secretly in love with a rich young master.

Jiang You on the other end paused for a moment, then asked, "Is something wrong?"

Jiang Qi in the subconscious also listened intently, wanting to know what "Super Cute" wanted.

"I'm currently at the main gate of the villa district."

The youth's voice carried the unique raspiness and sexiness of this age, along with a hint of pity for what the Omega had gone through.

Of course, over the phone, Ji Yue's voice was distorted, not to mention the emotions mixed in his voice were harder to detect.

Hearing that Ji Yue was standing at the gate of the villa district, Jiang You stood up and hurriedly went to pull back the window curtains. The bright lights in the distance, the grand castle decorated with colorful neon lights, and the courtyard lights were bright, but the small forest was as dark as ever, making it impossible to see clearly.

He was just anxious; how could he possibly see the main gate of the villa district from here?

"Jiang You, can you come out?" Ji Yue looked around and met the gaze of the security guard on duty. Ji Yue paused and casually turned his head away.

Jiang You: ...

For Jiang You, an Omega who could only do mental work, jumping out of a window was indeed a massive project, an impossible mission.

The security guard at the gate had been staring at this youth for a long time, seeing him pacing back and forth in front of the gate without leaving.

It was time for the shift change, so the guard used his walkie-talkie to tell his colleague on the next shift to keep an eye on the strange youth.

Therefore, after receiving an affirmative answer from the other end, Ji Yue happily hung up the phone, only to meet an even more vigilant gaze.

Ji Yue: ...

He quietly walked a bit further away, looking down at his phone, but saw no messages from the Omega. He looked up at the villa district opposite, where the bright neon lights in the dark night highlighted the grandeur and magnificence of the entire estate.

About ten minutes later, Ji Yue heard footsteps.

Turning around, he indeed saw Jiang You walking hurriedly.

He wore an all-black outfit, a black baseball cap, and even his shoes were black sneakers, completely blending into the night.

The Omega stood in front of Ji Yue. He looked up into Ji Yue's dark eyes, his breathing slightly rushed.

"Jiang You." Ji Yue looked at the youth in front of him, suddenly paused, and asked, "Jiang Qi?"

Then, Ji Yue asserted, "You are Jiang Qi."

Jiang Qi blinked, his brows carrying a slightly arrogant and casual smile: "Bingo."

Like a warm ray of sunshine on a chilly day, with such a brilliant smile, who could think it was fake?

Ji Yue had felt very sorry for Jiang You and Jiang Qi, but when he realized the Omega in front of him was Jiang Qi and saw his mischievous smile, the anger in Ji Yue's heart rose again, and a trace of playfulness emerged. He reached out his hand.

Jiang Qi didn't even have time to react before he felt the hat on his head disappear. He looked up, only to be pressed down by a gentle hand. His neatly combed hair was rubbed into a messy bird's nest.

Jiang Qi knew Ji Yue was venting his anger, so he didn't stop him. He tilted his face up to let Ji Yue rub his head, looking very obedient.

Experts say that petting a cat can relieve discomfort and stress. Ji Yue currently felt that rubbing Jiang Qi's head had a similar effect.

The last bit of resentment finally dissipated, and reason returned. Ji Yue's hand resting on Jiang Qi's head froze, only now realizing what foolish thing he had done again.

Like a robot, Ji Yue slowly lifted his hand, looking into the Omega's amber eyes and his obedient posture as he tilted his head up to be petted.

Boom—

Ji Yue's face flushed red, his heart pounding wildly.

Damn it, this Jiang Qi was too scheming!

Fuck, who could bear this?"
