Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

126. Go Home with Me

Yan Chuyang had handed his bank card over to Wei Qing, so every time when he spent money, Wei Qing would find it out immediately. Buying the birthday gift for him was a secret, and he didn’t want Wei Qing to know, so he couldn’t spend the money in his bank account. He had to use the money he hid away.

He counted his money three times There was a total of 2,032 RMB.

He earned it by tutoring and drawing sketches for his classmates.

‘What can I buy with two thousand?’

‘Clothes? He might not like what I choose for him.’

‘A bag? Forget it. His bags cost at least 70,000 each. What kind of bag can I buy him with two thousand?’

‘Food? No, I might eat them all up before he has the chance to touch them.’

‘How about…a belt?’ Yan Chuyang’s eyes lit up, and he looked down at his waist.

‘Yeah, a belt.’ He remembered that the last time he went to a boutique near the school and saw they were selling belts for lovers.

He would buy a pair, one for Wei Qing and the other for himself.

No one could see the belts they were wearing, so no one would find out that they were wearing the belts in the same style.

He made his decision.

He let out a long sigh of relief, stuffed the money into his backpack and went out.

It was a working day and there weren’t many people on the street. It took Yan Chuyang half an hour to ride the bicycle to the store.

“Welcome,” the shop assistant smiled warmly at him and asked, “How can I help you?”

Yan Chuyang waved, “Thank you, but I’ll do it myself.”

He hurriedly walked inside.

He knew where the belts were placed. He had been looking at the pair of belts for a long time, but he couldn’t afford them.

However, when he walked to the place where the belts used to be, he found they were gone.

“Miss, could you please come over?”

“Sir, how can I help you?”

“Where’s the pair of belts that used to be here?” Yan Chuyang pointed at the glass display anxiously.

The shop assistant looked at the label and asked, “Are you looking for the pair of men’s belts?”

“Yes!”Read More at wuxiax.com

“They were bought by a gentleman yesterday.”

“They were sold?”

“Yes, that gentleman said he bought them for a friend.”

“Oh, I see.” Yan Chuyang said in disappointment.

“I’m sorry,” the shop assistant pursed her lips.

“It doesn’t matter.” They heard a deep voice from behind.

Yan Chuyang paused and looked back in surprise. Song Huaiqi stood behind him with a gentle smile.

The shop assistant’s eyes lit up when she saw him. She raised her voice and said, “This gentleman bought the belts yesterday.”

Song Huaiqi walked up to Yan Chuyang and nodded at the shop assistant, “Miss, we don’t need your help for the time being. Thank you for your service.”

“Alright,” the shop assistant smiled professionally before turning back to the service counter.

“Senior,” Yan Chuyang said anxiously, “Did you really buy the belts?”

Song Huaiqi nodded and said with a smile, “Yeah, I saw you come to this boutique several times. Yesterday, I asked the shopping assistant, who said that you looked at the belts every time you came. I thought you liked them, so I bought them for you.”

Yan Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “That’s good. I thought that someone else bought it.” As he said this, he took off his backpack and unzipped it. “Senior, can you please give me the belts? I’ll pay you the money.”

Song Huaiqi’s eyes darkened. He suddenly held Yan Chuyang’s wrist and said in a low voice, “Not now. I don’t have the belts with me. When I came out, I left them behind at home.”

Yan Chuyang paused. He looked up and frowned. “Then what should we do?”

“If you want them now, you can go home with me to fetch them.”

Yan Chuyang raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already 11 o’clock. He had planned to give the gift to Wei Qing when he got home in the evening. There were classes in the afternoon. If he delayed it for a while, he probably wouldn’t have time. After thinking for a while, he nodded. “If you have time, I’d like to go with you.”

Song Huaiqi’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, “Sure, I’m free.”

Yan Chuyang left the bicycle near the school and took Song Huaiqi’s car to his home.

Song Huaiqi’s home was not far from Yan Chuyang’s school, and it took them half an hour.

“Let’s go.” Song Huaiqi unfastened his seatbelt and turned to Yan Chuyang with a smile. “Follow me. We’ve known each other for such a long time, and you have never been to my home.”

Yan Chuyang frowned and said hesitantly, “Sorry, Senior. I have classes later. Can you take the belts down for me? I’ll give you the money.”

Song Huaiqi got sullen and said in a low voice, “You don’t want to visit my home?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to go,” Yan Chuyang said hurriedly, “You know, the competition is coming up tomorrow, and I have only one afternoon for preparation.”

Song Huaiqi was relieved, sighing, “Sorry, I forgot that you have such an important thing to do tomorrow.”

“It’s fine.” Yan Chuyang shrugged his shoulders and said with a bitter smile, “I feel less pressure when no one remembers that.”

Seeing the disappointment in Yan Chuyang’s eyes, Song Huaiqi hurriedly said, “I remember that. I know that this competition is very important to you. I’ve been praying for you in my heart.” After saying this, his eyes darkened. “I hope you could make it to the finals and we could go to Japan together.”

Yan Chuyang froze at Song Huaiqi’s deliberately lowered voice, and he said, “Thank you, Senior. I had thought that I was the only one fighting alone.”
