MAPF Chapter 35

Chapter 35: How Exciting! What a Smooth-Tongued Little Liar…

Xie Shiwei discovered that Wang Gugu was suddenly very enthusiastic towards him, suspiciously so.

This was specifically shown in how she often sought him out to chat, from astronomy and geography to entertainment celebrities, interspersed with questions about his personal preferences, but no matter what they talked about, the topic always awkwardly landed on Bai An or He Qin.

For example, she had just sent him a video of two wild monkeys picking fleas off each other, saying that these two monkeys had a really good relationship, a bit like He Qin and Bai An when they were little.

Xie Shiwei didn’t know what to reply, and it took him a while to type: [They probably don’t have fleas… Do you mean they used to scrub each other’s backs when they were little? That’s quite the childhood sweetheart thing.]

Wang Gugu probed: [You said He Qin and Bai An were childhood sweethearts, does that mean you think they’re a good match?]

Xie Shiwei didn’t know what to say again, and couldn’t help but ask her if she was trying to get information for Bai An or for He Qin.

[Shiwei! I’m not helping anyone, I just want to understand you!]

Xie Shiwei replied with six dots.

Wang Gugu: [Hey Shiwei, just tell me, are you trying to bring He Qin and Bai An together? I’m their best friend, and I want to see them happy too, maybe I can even help you.]

Xie Shiwei thought for a while and replied yes.

Wang Gugu clicked her tongue, feeling that He Qin was going to get a huge setback from Xie Shiwei. She then asked: [Do you really not like He Qin anymore?]

Xie Shiwei started acting again: [Alas, I’ve had a sudden realization and decided to give He Qin his freedom, and just be friends with him. Actually, I’m quite heartbroken, even though I can’t let go of He Qin deep down, I have to force myself to like someone else, so I can leave without any regrets when we divorce…crying.jpg.]

Wang Gugu stifled a laugh at work and forwarded the information to He Qin verbatim: [Exactly the same as what you told me. It’s obviously an act.]

He Qin also wanted to laugh after reading it.

What a smooth-tongued little liar.

His eyes were sparkling at Zhou Ze, smiling like a flower at the muscular men in the bar, and staring straight at handsome guys outside several times, and that was what he called not being able to let him go?

.

Xie Shiwei was very alert because of Wang Gugu’s probing, and planned to avoid too much interaction with He Qin at home.

He Qin came back late and left early, so Xie Shiwei forced himself to go to bed early and get up late. Every night, he would turn off the lights, put on his eye mask, and go to sleep early, successfully achieving the feat of living under the same roof as He Qin but not seeing him all day.

He Qin let Xie Shiwei deliberately avoid him, waiting to see what kind of story Xie Shiwei could come up with for him and Bai An.

Xie Shiwei was indeed busy with this matter.

Zhang Yingjun said that his father had a friend who was getting married and had chartered a coastal area for the weekend, providing yachts for free sea fishing, and invited Xie Shiwei to go shark fishing with him.

Xie Shiwei sighed and said gently that they probably wouldn’t be able to catch sharks, but he could go, and asked if he could invite He Qin and Bai An.

Zhang Yingjun was very puzzled: “Shiwei, even if you and He Qin divorce in a year, there’s no need to set these two up, right?”

Xie Shiwei explained: “The main thing is that they quarreled because of me, and I feel bad, so I want them to make up quickly.”

“Oh, then invite them if you want, but be sure to stop me when I want to hit them.”

Xie Shiwei smiled sinisterly: “No need, you can talk to your dad’s friend and arrange two yachts for us, one for you and me, and one for He Qin and Bai An, out of sight, out of mind.”

“Wow, little Shiwei, you’re so smart.”

Xie Shiwei tossed his hair: “Don’t admire me too much.”

.

In order to invite He Qin and Bai An, Xie Shiwei didn’t go to bed first that night. He waited for He Qin in the room, planning to tell him about the sea fishing in person when he came back. But after waiting until after eight o’clock, He Qin sent a WeChat message saying that he wouldn’t be coming back tonight.

He asked: [Then where are you going? Business trip?]

He Qin: [Going back to the apartment to pack up some of Bai An’s things, he has too much stuff, taking up space.]

Xie Shiwei instantly perked up. He knew that He Qin had a bachelor apartment in the city. A bachelor apartment, as the name suggests, is an apartment for single people to live in, but He Qin’s house had a lot of Bai An’s things.

So ambiguous, so exciting!

Xie Shiwei asked: [Can I go and have a look?]

[Of course.]

This was exactly He Qin’s purpose.

He followed Wang Gugu’s advice and summoned Xie Shiwei to show him his and Bai An’s intimate past, to observe whether Xie Shiwei was jealous.

Xie Shiwei went to see the cp, and knocked on He Qin’s door all the way without any obstacles.

“You got here so quickly?” He Qin opened the door and welcomed Xie Shiwei in.

Seeing Xie Shiwei’s bright eyes, He Qin’s heart fluttered slightly, as if being gently pecked by a fledgling. His movements were a little unnatural, but it was only for a moment, and Xie Shiwei didn’t notice.

“All the lights were green, I got here in a flash,” Xie Shiwei looked around and was dumbfounded, “How is this exactly the same as your office? Same color scheme, same furniture, even the carpet pattern is the same! Are you treating your office as your home?”

He Qin spread his hands: “What’s the problem?”

Xie Shiwei was convinced, and cupped his hands: “No problem, CEO He is extraordinary.”

He Qin’s apartment walls were hung with a circle of paintings, a dozen more than in the office. Xie Shiwei admired them from beginning to end: “Bai An’s future is bright, is this what you’re going to pack up?”

“Of course not, these are quite nice, just leave them hanging, what I want to pack up is this.”

Xie Shiwei looked in the direction of He Qin’s finger and was stunned.

In the entire six-layer custom cabinet on the west side, all kinds of items were placed high and low.

Dozens of group photos, children’s toy cars, teaching materials, small schoolbags, various certificates, pencil cases, handicrafts, exquisite ornaments, printed essays, and even some handmade medals.

“Are all of these Bai An’s?”

“Yes, everything that has passed through my hands, from when he was a child to before he went abroad, is here.”

Xie Shiwei walked over, opened the cabinet door, and picked up Bai An’s essay paper. The essay title was “My Brother”, with childish handwriting, a childish and laughable but sincere metaphor, full of admiration for He Qin.

And those handmade medals, each one was carved by Bai An himself on wood with a knife, celebrating He Qin for getting first place in every semester.

Xie Shiwei’s eyes gradually became a little moist.

He felt that Bai An was actually quite cute, and really, really liked He Qin, and He Qin’s careful preservation of these things was also a sincere response to Bai An.

What a moving relationship!

Xie Shiwei thought of himself and became sad again.

Why couldn’t he have a childhood friend like that who loved him to death?

He Qin observed Xie Shiwei on the sofa, and seeing him clearly downcast, the jealousy he had been secretly eating these days was finally not so sour, and he sent a WeChat message to Wang Gugu with a relaxed mood: [His mood is off.]

[Good momentum!]

He Qin: [Now he seems to be wiping away tears with his back to me.]

[Great momentum! Let him stay over!]

He Qin narrowed his eyes. Stay over? He only has one bed here.

Xie Shiwei wiped away his tears, turned around and said, “He Qin, are you free this weekend?”

He Qin nodded happily.

“On behalf of Zhang Yingjun, I invite you and Bai An to go sea fishing with us.”

He Qin couldn’t be happy anymore: “Bai An is coming too?”

“Yes, looking at so many things, don’t you miss the past when you grew up together at all, don’t you miss him at all? You’re so heartless!”

“Last time I gave you movie tickets, the friend at the theater said that the tickets weren’t even redeemed, you didn’t take Bai An to see it, did you?”

“You’re not allowed to leave him behind this time, otherwise I’ll be ashamed to have a friend like you and seriously condemn you. I’ll send you the time and place later, you send it to Bai An.”

Xie Shiwei came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

He Qin was so angry that he closed his eyes.

So Xie Shiwei was moved. What a bad idea Wang Gugu came up with!

Wang Gugu, after learning about the progress of the matter, sent a scurrying emoticon, suggesting that He Qin agree and deal with it as it comes.

[And you should also try flirting with Xie Shiwei to see if he’ll be shy. If he still does, it at least shows that he doesn’t hate you getting close to him.]

[How do I flirt?]

Wang Gugu taught He Qin some secrets, and He Qin said he had learned a lot, and called to inform Bai An of the weekend’s activities.

The day before going to sea, Xie Shiwei sent a WeChat message reminding him not to forget to go. He replied coldly that he knew, and suddenly felt that Xie Shiwei was in a hurry for him and Bai An to go together, there must be some clever plan.

This time, Shangke Group chartered the sea, a large company specializing in yacht business.

He Qin directly called a friend in the management of Shangke Group and asked him for the personnel arrangement list for the yachts going out to sea that day.

The friend quickly sent the list to He Qin.

He Qin opened the document, and as he expected, the yachts going out to sea were divided into large and small, the large ones were for wedding guests, and the four of them were all on the small yachts, Xie Shiwei and Zhang Yingjun on one, and him and Bai An on the other.

He Qin then asked his friend to help arrange a personnel change, and his mood became happy again.

.

Sunday morning, clear sky, spring breeze.

The azure sea was vast and peaceful, stirred up by gentle waves with the wind.

The wedding was already warming up, six or seven yachts were parked side by side at the West Port Pier, waiting for the distinguished guests to board.

Xie Shiwei and Zhang Yingjun came together. They first went to give their blessings to the newlyweds, and chatted with other invited guests for a while. He Qin and Bai An then walked from the parking lot.

He Qin didn’t put on hair gel, his black hair fell naturally, he wore a pair of slightly cool square narrow-frame sunglasses, and wore a very professional fishing suit, walking with long legs, like a model coming to a show.

Bai An wore his usual clothes, a sun hat, and followed He Qin with small steps, his face full of happiness and satisfaction, until he saw Xie Shiwei and Zhang Yingjun, he realized that these two were also there, and his smile disappeared instantly.

Xie Shiwei waved to them: “Here, here!”

He Qin sped up and walked over, took off his sunglasses, and looked at the slightly unique person in front of him.

Xie Shiwei wore a white sunscreen shirt with white sports shoes, applied several layers of sunscreen on his face, and also wore a white baseball cap, the whole person from head to toe was pale white, like a ghost.

He Qin restrained the impulse to be sarcastic and said gently: “You are quite white today.”

Xie Shiwei smiled and pulled Bai An’s arm: “Bai An is also very white, you praise him too.”

Bai An’s hair stood on end, and he thought speechlessly that Little Qin gege didn’t praise you, his mouth barely curved up: “Thank you, let’s go quickly.”

The four entered the visitor center, and the receptionist came forward: “Please tell me your names, gentlemen, and I will lead you to your respective yachts.”
