Chapter 22 – Sunscreen Oil (2/2)
But when he turned his head he found himself looking into the eyes of Qiu Qian who was lying next to him and who had had just ended his phone call.
It should be mentioned that Qiu Qian’s phone still had connection because he seemed to have made plans in advance.
[Bi–] Qiu Qian hanged up his phone. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Lang. “Should I help you add sunscreen?”
Bai Lang looked at Qiu XiaoHai who was playing far away. At this moment he was happily making a sand castle. “There’s no need.”
“Don’t be polite,” Qiu Qian came over and took the sunscreen oil from the side table and poured it into his hand. “The sun is too bright. If you get tanned how will you film your movie? You should always top up.”
“….” Bai Lang silently drank some juice then obediently lay back down. “Thanks.”
Qiu Qian smiled in a somewhat evil manner. He stepped over Bai Lang with one stride and then sat on the side of his chair. His warm and large hand filled with oil pressed down on Bai Lang’s shoulders and the nape of his neck. “Don’t worry I’ll be careful and won’t make you accidentally hard again, okay?”
What could Bai Lang say? He could only say again, “Thanks.”
The facts proved that this statement was a lie. Qiu Qian’s hand, which alternated both hard and soft, slid over Bai Lang’s sensitive underarm and waist, making him tremble. Qiu Qian evidently found this amusing, his slick hand kept dipping under the waistline of Bai Lang’s swimming trunks.
Just as Bai Lang was about to stop him, Qiu Qian suddenly said, “Tomorrow we’ll be going back. Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
Both of his hands were become more and more bold. Bai Lang was at the mercy of his “torture”.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, Bai Lang finally opened his mouth. “That day at the airport, did anyone take a photograph of us?”
Qiu Qian leaned low next to Bai Lang’s ear. “There really were some. What do you think we ought to do?”
“As long, as you’re, happy.” Bai Lang’s voice wasn’t steady because Qiu Qian’s thumb had crossed over to someplace that shouldn’t be crossed. Luckily from Qiu XiaoHai’s perspective, Qiu Qian’s hand would have been blocked by his back.
“What do you think would make happy?”
“… to punish me and make me more obedient?”
“Wrong. Guess again.”
“… to give me more lessons to make more compliant?”
“… Wrong. Guess again.”
“… to use more force so that I-” Bai Lang had only finished half his sentence before his voice died. This was because Qiu Qian had suddenly bitten his ear.
“I just knew that you would rather die than say it. What if one day, while being silent, you change? What should I do then?”
Qiu Qian opened his mouth and then licked the place he had just bitten.
“I think that among the two of us, the possibility of you changing is higher.” Bai Lang turned his head.
“Oh? Then why don’t you ask me about Su Quan? Why don’t you ask about the things that Ya Qi told you? Or is that you don’t think it’s necessary to ask?” When Qiu Qian said the last thing, his eyes became somewhat dangerous. “All you need to do is turn off the phone?”
Suddenly the joking questions became serious. It made Bai Lang flounder.
Underneath Qiu Qian’s penetrating gaze, Bai Lang couldn’t help lowering his eyes. “The reason I turned off my phone is because I didn’t want to get any calls from my family.”
Qiu Qian laughed coldly. “Do I need to tell you that before the new year, Bai Li once called the company to ask if your phone number had changed?”
Bai Lang froze. Before he could answer, Qiu Qian grasped his lower jaw. He said lowly, “So be honest with me. The person whom you didn’t want to get a call from was me, right? The one you wanted to get away from for a while was me, right? Why?”
Bai Lang was trapped in a place he couldn’t escape.
However if he wanted to he could still just seal his lips and not give Qiu Qian any answer. Qiu Qian knew this.
Underneath the surface of warmth and gentleness, there was an unyielding stubbornness. This was the same as the Bai Lang of the past.
Perhaps he didn’t have the intimidating aura but when it came to something he felt strongly about, Bai Lang could be incredibly firm and immovable.
This was the special quality that Qiu Qian had felt when he had met Bai Lang for the first time at the club.
Then afterwards Qiu Qian had had taken over Bai Lang’s entertainment contract. It was out of amusement because he wanted to play with this young man.
However a few months ago when Bai Lang had suddenly requested to see him, it was as though his entire person had changed.
He had become tolerant and amenable, and he had learnt to change and endure.
But then in the time that they had gotten to know each other, Qiu Qian once again felt that Bai Lang was still the same as before. He still had a bottom line that he would never cross.
He had asked for 5 million. But after that he never once asked for more money.
Even after saving Xiao Hai, which can be considered making Qiu Qian owe him greatly, he was so stupid that he never considered to ask for something more as recompense.
So even though Bai Lang put on a great act in front of him, but after testing him time and time again, Qiu Qian gradually felt that being suspicious of this person really made himself tired.
He only wanted to put his effort into something that concerned him more. Which was how to make Bai Lang stay with him.
Just like the first time they had met when his heart had moved slightly. Now that feeling became stronger and stronger.
If Bai Lang wanted to run then Qiu Qian would make it so that he didn’t have anywhere to go.
Even if Bai Lang had some kind of other ulterior motive for being with him, then if Qiu Qian could satisfy it he would. And if he couldn’t then he could still just continue to cling onto him in a love-hate relationship.
So what did he have to be scared of?
Well actually what he was scared of was if this stubborn creature Bai Lang steadfastly refused to admit things and continued to stay stubbornly inside his own walls.
Because Qiu Qian could feel that Bai Lang also had some feelings towards him.
After all Bai Lang had previously raised the topic of “loyalty”. He had said that if he found someone new then he should first throw away the old person. And after the end of year party, Bai Lang had also wanted to avoid him.
If there were truly no feelings at all, and it was just a contractual exchange, then Bai Lang wouldn’t have this kind of reaction.
So Qiu Qian kissed the tightly closed lips. He sighed and said, “Even if you like this kind of jealous and awkward feeling, I don’t. What is it that can’t be said between us? I like you so I want to chase you to become my lover. If you agree then just say so. Then isn’t everything resolved?”
