Chapter 56 - Push Down (2/2)

In the end, Jiang Yang just shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention to the idiot next to him. He continued to concentrate on exploring the palace and even did not react when Qin Xu placed his arm around his shoulder.

After travelling around for seven or eight days, it was almost time for their trip to end. Their return tickets had already been booked since it was cheaper if they booked it early. They proceeded to buy all the souvenirs that they needed and packed their bags. Because mother Jiang prefers to be more practical and didn’t like having useless things lying around at home, Jiang Yang didn’t waste his money on buying things like exotic ornaments. Instead, he bought about a dozen or so bags of dried durian which he himself also liked to eat. As for Qin Xu, he bought things very casually. If he saw something that he had not tried before, he would buy it but luckily, he didn’t buy too much of them and both their suitcases were able to fit it all in.

On the day that they were due to catch the flight back Qin Xu said: “Since we have to go back, why don’t we record a video as commemoration?”

Jiang Yang turned his head over and asked subconsciously: “Task?”

“No.” This time, Qin Xu honestly shook his head. His pair of black and bright eyes fully expressed the expectation inside him.

Jiang Yang fell silent. Thinking that this meant ‘no’, the light in Qin Xu’s eyes slowly dimmed and he looked very obviously disappointed. He then faintly heard Jiang Yang’s voice: “Okay.”

Qin Xu couldn’t believe his ears and was extremely happy to hear him agree. He instantly rushed over to hug him and even shamelessly nuzzled up against him like a little kid. His face was then pushed away by Jiang Yang’s hand as Jiang Yang looked on at him in disdain.

Qin Xu’s handsome face was in his palm and was pressed until his expression was slightly deformed. Even the words that he spoke sounded ambiguous, but he still chuckled with excitement.

“What to record?”

Jiang Yang rejected his immature and spoiled clinginess and asked seriously.

Qin Xu picked up his phone and moved next to him. He showed him a video in one of his apps. Although the characters in the video were always different, they all did the same thing.

One person would not move and hold their palm up while another person in the distance, no matter whether they’re eating, drinking, watching tv, reading or playing on their phone, they would immediately run over and place their chin into the person’s hand, tilt their head and then smile brightly.

Some of the videos were of cute, round-eyed babies and some were of tall and handsome boyfriends. Despite doing something so cheesy, it looked quite lovable and adoring.

Jiang Yang watched the video and thought that it was a little childish. He pursed his lips in disdain, but he didn’t voice out any complaints.

They agreed and went to a corridor where no one usually passed. Jiang Yang raised the phone and faced it towards himself before slowly lifting up his hand to reveal his palm and looked behind him. From not far behind him, Qin Xu nonchalantly turned around the corner and looked up at Jiang Yang before immediately lifting his lips into a smile and rushing over to him like a rocket. The speed was definitely one that could cause things around him to be blown away.

Jiang Yang was a little surprised. He didn’t expect him to rush over to him at such a fast speed. It almost looked like he could only see his afterimage. Wasn’t he supposed to just do a little run? Why is he acting like some prehistoric beast? Damn, it’s actually pretty scary. Worried about the impending collision, Jiang Yang quickly started escaping.

Qin Xu didn’t stop. Seeing him running away, he appeared to be even more excited and he even sped up.

In the end, the distance between them shorted very rapidly. Jiang Yang had only run a few steps before the crazy Qin Xu had managed to catch up. When his face made contact with Jiang Yang’s palm, he couldn’t control his strength well and ended up pushing Jiang Yang down. The phone that was still recording also tumbled in the air a few times before crashing onto the ground.

Jiang Yang was in pain. He angrily pushed the other person away and cursed at him. Qin Xu chuckled and continued to shamelessly throw himself up against him. With his other hand, he reached over to grab his phone and pointed it over at them. Qin Xu squeezed Jiang Yang’s shoulder and signalled at him with a wink.

Jiang Yang secretly rolled his eyes but still reluctantly cooperated.

The two same-aged, handsome and energetic boys sat cross-legged on the floor leaning onto each other and revealed a bright smile at the phone. They then said loudly with a voice filled with their youthfulness: “2018, we are in Thailand!”

Before they started taking the video, when Qin Xu suggested saying this sentence Jiang Yang felt very embarrassed and wanted to refuse. But when the two of them said it together, an inexplicable feeling formed inside his chest. What Jiang Yang could say with confidence was that he surprisingly didn’t hate it.

He turned his head slightly and looked over at Qin Xu’s handsome side profile and couldn’t help but feel as if something had changed.

A soft sound.

At the bottom of his heart, little by little, something slowly began to bloom.
