139. Do You Think I’ve Grown Taller?

Wei Qing narrowed his eyes and snatched the promotional flyer. When he saw the photos of the Japanese hot springs attraction, he was stunned and his heart sank slowly.

“What does the letter say?” Wei Qing asked in a low voice.

Yan Chuyang smacked his lips, “It is from my Senior. He said he was expecting me to reach the finals, and then he was looking forward to going to Japan together with me.”

Wei Qing lowered his hand and he balled up the hot spring flyer in his hand.

“What is that flyer?” Yan Chuyang came over and wanted to take the flyer from Wei Qing. When he saw it being smashed into a ball, his eyebrows twitched and he hit Wei Qing on the arm. “Hey! Let go of your hand. The flyer is going to be ruined.”

Wei Qing took a deep breath and threw the flyer to Yan Chuyang, sneered, “No need to look at it. It’s a photo of hot springs. Your good Senior wants to bathe into the same hot spring with you.”

Yan Chuyang unfolded the flyer and looked at the foggy place which looked like a fairyland. He couldn’t help but smile, said with interest, “I have heard that it is very hot in June and July in Japan, and some hot springs will be open for free. If I can go to Japan, I must go for a dip.”

Wei Qing’s face turned black and his lips curved into a line, “That’s great! Your Senior must be looking forward to bathing with you in the hot spring!”

Yan Chuyang sighed, folded the flyer, and said a little regretfully, “Actually, I really want to go with you, but you are too busy to…”

“Who wants to go with you?” Wei Qing interrupted him in a cold voice, “I’m not the same as your Senior. We are not familiar enough to join in the hot springs together!”

Yan Chuyang choked, and his eyes flashed slightly, “It’s just a hot spring. What does it have to do with familiarity?”

“Get over yourself!” Wei Qing snorted sharply, “If I’d like to go, I’ll go with a beautiful girl. Who wants to go with you?”

After saying that, Wei Qing suddenly turned and walked towards the study.

Yan Chuyang stared at his back blankly, and sighed after a long silence. He looked down at the flyer in his hand and muttered weakly,

“You are right. If you go to the hot springs, you must take a beautiful girl, who is much better than me…”

‘Wei Qing is a hetero, and he likes girls.’

‘Ah! I’ve forgotten it again!’

For about two days, the atmosphere in the house had been tense.

Wei Qing completely ignored Yan Chuyang and treated him as air.

Yan Chuyang didn’t understand what the matter was between the two of them. He carefully recalled what they had said in the past few days, but he always felt that it was just some gossip and he didn’t say anything unusual or wrong.

However, Wei Qing started to give him a cold shoulder.

It was fine during the daytime, as both of them had their own busy schedules, so there weren’t many opportunities to meet each other. Even if they were to have breakfast in the morning, they would eat in silence, not talking to each other, so they could also endure it.

But it became unbearable at night.

Wei Qing left the company at 7 o’clock, and Yan Chuyang left school at 6:30, just the same time.

Actually, it was okay if they came back home at the same time. They wouldn’t be embarrassed since there were so many rooms in the house for them to stay in, and they could do their own business in separate rooms and wouldn’t disturb each other.

However, the two both had a soft spot for the living room sofa.

Yan Chuyang felt like he was suffering from OCD. Perhaps it was because he had been painting on the sofa a month ago, he was used to sitting on the sofa to study, and he couldn’t concentrate when he was doing his homework in the room upstairs.

The moment he sat on the sofa, it was different. His brain started to spin quickly and his learning efficiency was pretty high.

As a result, he sat down on the sofa right after school, took out his notes, and started to work on his assignment.

Unfortunately, Wei Qing also liked to sit on the sofa and work with his laptop.

So the two of them sat side by side for a long time at night.

It was really awkward to sit together without saying a word.

It was 9:00 o’clock.

After reading the last chapter of his lecture notes, Yan Chuyang closed his notes and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up and sleep.

Although he warned himself not to look, he couldn’t help turning his head to look at Wei Qing’s serious working face.

The dim light made the handsome face more angular and sexy.

Yan Chuyang swallowed, breathed out with palpitations. Once again, he leaned forward and touched Wei Qing’s arm, and whispered softly,

“Wei Qing?”

No responds.

Yan Chuyang clenched his fists and whispered, “I want to take a shower. Do you want to use the bathroom now?”

“No.”

Yan Chuyang nodded and ground out a topic, “This morning I found the bathrobe you bought me was a little smaller to me. It used to reach my calf, but now it is almost on my knees.”

Wei Qing said nothing.

With a slight cough, Yan Chuyang murmured, “Do you think I’ve grown taller?”

“…”

“I think I must grow taller since I drink milk every morning. People used to say that drinking milk has nothing to do with children’s height, but after two months of experiments, I discovered…”

“Mr. Yan,” Wei Qing turned his head and said coldly, “It’s my biggest concession to allow you to study on the sofa. If you keep talking about something frivolous to disturb my work, I think you’d better study upstairs tomorrow.”

Yan Chuyang tugged at the slipcover under his hand, stared at the man, and whispered, “But I can’t focus on my study when I’m upstairs. It will be more efficient when I sit on the sofa.”

“That’s none of my business,” Wei Qing turned to his computer, said coldly. “You disturbed me. I don’t want to see you now.”

Yan Chuyang’s heart was suffocated, and after a long silence, he said dully, “I’ll go upstairs tomorrow.”

Wei Qing didn’t say anything, but the light in his eyes was distant and indifferent.

Yan Chuyang stood up on his hand from the sofa, and slowly walked to the bathroom. After taking two steps, he turned round to look at Wei Qing’s profile seriously.

“Wei Qing, if you think I am annoying, I can move out tomorrow.”

There was silence in the air for two or three seconds.
