Chapter 49
Last night, Fu Jingqiu had indeed tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
That bad boy Jiang Qingyu had only been upset for a short while before he quickly coaxed himself better. Then he had slept sweetly and heartlessly, leaving Fu Jingqiu alone to repeatedly mull over their conversation.
Word by word, sentence by sentence, analyzing it over and over.
His slowness in matters of emotion was a shortcoming he himself was perfectly aware of, but in the first twenty-some years of his life, he could hardly find any moments when he had needed that kind of thing.
Many times, acting based on emotion was the greatest taboo.
Rather than saying he had not understood, it would be more accurate to say he was not quite willing to believe it.
How could Jiang Qingyu possibly like him?
He felt that his own strengths were truly ordinary. The things he could do seemed like things most people could do too.
Since that was the case, Jiang Qingyu could have chosen someone better.
Little did he know that, first, Jiang Qingyu looked at faces; second, he looked at bodies. Added to that was the truest part among his half-true, half-false words: he really did lack a sense of security and would like someone who was unconditionally good to him.
Each of these requirements did not seem like much when taken alone, but when added together, they were probably not that easy to meet.
And there was no shame in saying it. Most people were visual creatures. Ask yourself: if a handsome guy with a good face, good build, a height of one meter ninety, and a first-rate body stood before you, who would not take a few extra looks?
He knew how to take care of people, was attentive, had good character, and had a good temper. It was perfectly normal for Jiang Qingyu to like him.
However, because of Fu Jingqiu’s self-denial, Jiang Qingyu had no chance to say these things. Although he was not someone who liked being deliberately mysterious, Fu Jingqiu had still forced him into speaking in riddles.
You don’t understand, right? Fine, then go guess by yourself.
And this guess led Fu Jingqiu down a crooked path.
Perhaps Jiang Qingyu’s sexual orientation simply happened to be men, and the only person by his side was Fu Jingqiu, so he had misjudged and thought he had those kinds of feelings for him.
Fu Jingqiu was a few years older than him. At the appropriate time, he should correct his mistake.
It was just that he was not as good with words as Jiang Qingyu and could not outtalk him. He could only use this method to prove it.
Jiang Qingyu pressed a little closer. “Why aren’t you talking? Can’t think of anything, or can’t do it?”
After saying this, he suddenly felt that his current image must be very much like a villain, especially with that air of forcing an innocent person into prostitution. It was bad enough that he was shamelessly staying in someone’s arms pretending to be innocent, but he was even forcing the other party to take the initiative first.
Heaven knew why Fu Jingqiu insisted on using this kind of method to prove himself. If Jiang Qingyu’s intentions were just a little less proper, he could have already abducted him into bed by now.
Fu Jingqiu lowered his eyes to look at him. “Are you sure?”
Jiang Qingyu asked in confusion, “That’s a strange thing to say. Weren’t you the one who took the initiative to hold my hand first, then hugged and held me?” How was he now turning around to ask whether Jiang Qingyu was sure?
Fu Jingqiu frowned and explained, “I just don’t want you to be misled by a momentary misconception.”
Their social distance had already been broken at this moment. Forget their upper bodies—even their lower bodies were pressed tightly together because of this embrace.
Under these circumstances, saying things like being misled or whether he had gone astray seemed far too high-sounding.
Jiang Qingyu looked at him for a while. His gaze swept inch by inch over Fu Jingqiu’s face. Seeing that the other man was genuinely worried, he felt both angry and amused. But when he thought of the care Fu Jingqiu had shown him during this period, his heart inexplicably softened.
Forget it, forget it. In the end, no matter what Fu Jingqiu’s reaction was, Jiang Qingyu had been the one to start this.
His original intention had not been this. It was just that last night, the conversation had gotten a little too heated. Even adults could not avoid doing things that exceeded reason sometimes.
According to his original plan, he had wanted to proceed gradually, let feelings warm day by day, and then intentionally create some physical contact.
But clearly, Fu Jingqiu had not understood. In fact, their daily life was not lacking in physical contact either.
Holding hands, putting an arm around his shoulders—Fu Jingqiu did these things very naturally and did not feel anything was wrong at all.
They were already sleeping on the same bed, and even when they talked about ambiguous topics, he could still calmly share that he had physiological needs. He had no reaction at all to Jiang Qingyu revealing his sexual orientation.
If this continued, they really would become good brothers holding hands.
Jiang Qingyu reflected that he really was a little unable to withstand provocation.
Everything happening now was outside his expectations, but it was all barely acceptable.
Jiang Qingyu softened his tone. “All right, let’s stop making trouble. Just pretend nothing happened. Let’s get along normally like before and slowly…”
Before he could say the word “come,” Fu Jingqiu used the web of his hand to press against his chin, half-pinching, half-holding it.
His fingers were very long, easily trapping Jiang Qingyu’s face so that he could not turn his head or avoid him.
Ah? What did this mean? He did not want to listen? Then wouldn’t covering his mouth be enough?
Jiang Qingyu blinked twice, his expression a little dazed. Just as he was about to say something, Fu Jingqiu lowered his head, and his lips touched the corner of Jiang Qingyu’s mouth, very lightly and very quickly.
Jiang Qingyu’s pupils enlarged. Almost in an instant, he abruptly reached out and pushed the other man away.
After the atmosphere was silent for a dozen seconds, Fu Jingqiu’s voice sounded above his head. “See? It’s not that I can’t do it. It’s that you can’t accept it.”
Jiang Qingyu said angrily, “Are you crazy?”
Fu Jingqiu said, “So can you tell the difference now?”
What was closeness, and what was liking?
Jiang Qingyu casually grabbed a throw pillow from beside him and smashed it at Fu Jingqiu. “I’m talking about you!”
Fu Jingqiu caught the throw pillow steadily and casually placed it aside, still speaking coldly. “What?”
Fu Jingqiu had angered Jiang Qingyu into puffing up like an enraged cat. He was even angrier than if Fu Jingqiu had rejected him. Calling him by his full name, he said, “Fu! Jing! Qiu!”
Fu Jingqiu stated, “You’re angry.”
As soon as Jiang Qingyu saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking. Helplessly, he said, “I’m angry not because you kissed me, but because you haven’t understood at all. The person who needs to think clearly isn’t me. It’s you.”
“I don’t know whether you have a self-sacrificing personality or what, but whether I’ve confused my feelings or truly like you, if you don’t feel that way about me, then no matter how good our relationship is, it isn’t worth you doing this.”
Jiang Qingyu had just said he would not regret it, and now his face had immediately been slapped.
He truly suspected that if he were a little more forceful, then turned around and blamed Fu Jingqiu by saying it was all his fault for making him develop those thoughts, this man would really, in a muddled way, get together with him out of a sense of responsibility.
Wasn’t that bullying an honest person?
Because of Jiang Qingyu’s words, Fu Jingqiu’s expression went blank for a moment.
Jiang Qingyu stared at him for a long time and thought that he really did not have the talent to be a scumbag. After amusing himself in his heart for one second, he stepped forward, held Fu Jingqiu’s forearm, and sighed. “I do have selfish motives, yes, but I’m definitely not selfish. Don’t always think about others. Think about yourself.”
“Liking is liking. Having feelings is having feelings. You can’t pretend it, and you can’t fake it. How about this? I swear, I absolutely won’t let this matter ruin our relationship. We’ll just be like before…”
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Jingqiu suddenly turned his hand over and pinched the back of his neck, as if sending a signal for Jiang Qingyu not to continue.
Jiang Qingyu looked up at him in confusion. His upward gaze stretched his eye shape round, his pupils faintly honey-colored, his lashes distinct one by one.
Fu Jingqiu’s throat unconsciously swallowed. He stared at him almost without blinking. “Let me think.”
What Jiang Qingyu had just said sounded very much like he was reassuring him, telling Fu Jingqiu that he would not cross the line in the future, that everyone would still be friends, that they would retreat to a safe position and keep their distance.
For some reason, Fu Jingqiu instinctively resisted that happening.
Jiang Qingyu said, “Yeah, I think you should really think about it properly. Don’t feel burdened. This matter actually isn’t that complicated.”
He had never dated before, but he had seen others date. Everyone else seemed to have it quite easy when flirting. As for him, his first attempt had turned out this difficult.
Fu Jingqiu tightly watched his seemingly relaxed expression, and his chest felt faintly blocked. “Half a minute.”
Jiang Qingyu said, “Ah?”
Fu Jingqiu seemed to be implying something. “You’re right. I really have been looking too far ahead and worrying too much.”
Jiang Qingyu was completely confused. “…What exactly are you talking about? Don’t speak in riddles.”
Fu Jingqiu slowly said, “I don’t know how to describe it… This feeling is very unfamiliar.”
Jiang Qingyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes widening slightly. His facial expression encouraged him to keep speaking. “And then?”
Fu Jingqiu frowned, choosing his words with difficulty. “I don’t reject it, and I don’t want you to retreat. I… don’t really want to keep distance.”
He would think of mischievous ideas and play little tricks on Fu Jingqiu, suddenly attacking from behind while Fu Jingqiu was helping process ingredients, then laughing and running away when Fu Jingqiu turned back in confusion; when Fu Jingqiu helped massage him, Jiang Qingyu would pant, hook his arms over Fu Jingqiu’s shoulders, and whine for him to be gentler, seeming both like he was acting spoiled and like he was bossing him around…
There had been one time when they were killing time together on the sofa. Jiang Qingyu had gotten absorbed in something he was watching and subconsciously rested one leg on Fu Jingqiu’s knee. He lazily leaned sideways while playing on his phone, looking completely unafraid that Fu Jingqiu would be angry.
At the time, Fu Jingqiu had not felt the slightest aversion. Seeing his posture was improper, that he was twisting and rubbing around, and that his pant leg had ridden up to expose a section of bare calf to the air, he had been afraid Jiang Qingyu would catch cold and had specially pulled a blanket from the side to cover him.
He liked this way of getting along. There was no doubt about that.
The hand pinching the back of Jiang Qingyu’s neck turned into stroking his spine. Jiang Qingyu was still thin now. Through the thin layer of skin and flesh, Fu Jingqiu could clearly feel the shape of his spine.
While being scalded by the heat of his palm, Jiang Qingyu heard Fu Jingqiu say, “Let’s try, okay?”
Half an hour later.
Jiang Qingyu looked at Fu Jingqiu’s figure as he took Tangyuan outside to play wildly. He still had not fully recovered from the “breakfast incident.”
Try. Did it mean that kind of try?
The snow around the vehicle had been shoveled aside, clearing a road wide enough for them to drive the RV out. Probably because Fu Jingqiu was hot from the exercise, he had taken off his coat and folded it to the side. His movements shoveling snow never stopped for a moment.
Jiang Qingyu was convinced. Did this person have any looser clothes at all? Why was this sweater tight too?
They planned to stay in Yecheng for a few days. Since the weather was good today, they simply set off directly. They could not wait for someone to clear the snow, so Fu Jingqiu had gone out to do it himself.
Jiang Qingyu had nothing to do inside the vehicle and could not help recalling everything that had just happened. He kept feeling that today was extremely magical.
Originally, he had thought the matter would remain deadlocked for a period of time. Who would have expected such a sudden turn? Fu Jingqiu, this piece of wood, had actually learned to speak.
He stood by the vehicle window with his arms crossed, his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking he looked profound and mysterious right now. He muttered to himself, “So is he that thing… how does one put it? In love without knowing it?”
After saying that, Jiang Qingyu suddenly shuddered and frantically rubbed his arms, chilled with disgust. “No, that’s too narcissistic. So gross.”
Then he patted his cheeks. “Calm down. Stay steady.”
In this kind of weather, even the drone had to put on “little clothes.” Jiang Qingyu controlled the machine and flew it in a circle nearby. The snow on the main road had been cleared, but in most places, the snow was still complete.
It seemed the weather was too cold. Forget children—even young people were not in the mood to come out and play wildly.
Jiang Qingyu adjusted the RV’s height a little and switched to snow tires with one click. This way, in some places, they could drive directly over.
If the snow became too heavy, it would not trap the RV in the snow layer for long. At most, half the tires would be buried, which would not affect much.
Tangyuan wore the small down jacket that had been bought too large for Meimei before. Clearly, he accepted the outdoor temperature well. He was very excited and ran two fierce laps through the nearby snow, leaving circle after circle of little dog paw prints.
Meimei sat on the suction cat bed by the vehicle window and slowly licked her paws. Clearly, her desire to go out was not that strong. Jiang Qingyu watched Fu Jingqiu work while petting the cat. In the clay pot, a sweet corn and pork rib soup was simmering. When the father and son came back later, both could drink a bowl.
It was more than five hundred kilometers to Yecheng. Resting midway was inevitable, and they did not know what the road conditions would be like either. There would probably be some trouble.
If the situation was not serious, they could stop in Hotan for two days before setting off again.
Fortunately, the RV could stop and go as they pleased, and the equipment inside the vehicle was complete. Even in ice and snow, they would not be affected. It was just that their speed would be a little slower.
After shoveling the snow and coming back inside, Fu Jingqiu changed his clothes and drank soup. The vehicle followed the automatic driving route and drove out. Its speed was slower than usual, but it drove steadily.
The two sat facing each other. Neither spoke. They quietly held bowls and drank soup.
The loudest movement in the vehicle came from Tangyuan. After the soup was cooled and given to him, he licked it happily, his tail wagging nonstop.
Along the way, they barely saw any people. They did encounter a few large trucks, which was truly not easy in such freezing weather.
When they passed a certain gas station, Jiang Qingyu suddenly realized that he had not refueled in this period of time. He quickly drove the vehicle in and pretended casually in front of Fu Jingqiu. “Although I still saved some fuel, if there’s a chance, it’s better to buy more, haha.”
Fu Jingqiu lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. From the clothes rack beside them, he took down a coat and draped it over him. “It’s cold outside. Wear more.”
Jiang Qingyu rubbed the side of his nose with his finger and laughed awkwardly twice. “Haha, okay.”
Why aren’t you responding to my words, bro!
Seeing that he did not move, Jiang Qingyu asked in confusion, “You’re not coming with me?”
Fu Jingqiu asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”
While putting on the coat, Jiang Qingyu looked at him with condemning eyes. “You won’t even accompany me to refuel the vehicle? How did my treatment get worse than before?”
“…” Fu Jingqiu had only been afraid that Jiang Qingyu might need to do something inconvenient for him to know about, so he had not suggested going with him. But since Jiang Qingyu had put it this way, he casually took his own coat down from the rack too. “All right. Together, then.”
Jiang Qingyu gave him a sidelong glance. In the end, he said nothing more. He gathered his collar tightly, wrapped his scarf properly, and did not forget his gloves. Only after arming himself neatly did he dare get out of the vehicle.
The power of temperatures in the negative dozens was no joke. Jiang Qingyu’s hometown was only a little over ten degrees below zero at its coldest in winter. As soon as he got out of the vehicle, he happened to be hit head-on by a gust of wind, almost freezing him stupid.
Seeing him stop moving, Fu Jingqiu asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Qingyu shrank his neck. “So cold, so cold!”
Fu Jingqiu asked, “Are you not wearing enough?” He squeezed Jiang Qingyu’s arm. “Why don’t we get back in the vehicle and add two more layers?”
Jiang Qingyu held up a few fingers toward him. “The down filling in this jacket is already more than enough, and it has a hardshell outer layer. To exaggerate a little, it would be enough even for Antarctica.”
Fu Jingqiu asked, “Then you?”
Jiang Qingyu said, “There is a kind of cold where your body isn’t cold, but your heart feels cold.”
…Was this some kind of cold joke?
The snow at the gas station was easy to clear. Gray snow hills were piled around the area. The accumulated water on the ground quickly froze into ice, and the staff came out again to clear and shovel it. Several “Caution: Slippery” signs were placed nearby. Everything seemed orderly.
A staff member came over. “How much?”
Jiang Qingyu said, “Fill it up.”
Fu Jingqiu, standing beside him, raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Under the current situation, this young man was still driving an RV. On a self-driving trip in Xinjiang, more than half of the time would be spent on the road. Asking to fill the tank was not particularly strange. But now that gas prices had risen, the staff still had to say that in advance.
After listening, Jiang Qingyu did not even move his eyebrows. He calmly said, “All right, thank you. Still fill it up.”
The staff did not dwell on it either. “Okay.”
In any case, he had given the warning in advance. Once this thing was added in, there was no going back. It was cold, and he was too lazy to say more.
Unexpectedly, this tank of fuel seemed endless.
The numbers on the machine kept jumping, gradually moving in a dangerous direction. Jiang Qingyu stood with his hands tucked in his pockets, completely motionless.
Fu Jingqiu glanced at Jiang Qingyu almost imperceptibly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyu caught it at just the right moment. Seemingly calm, he explained, “My fuel tank is big.”
“That’s right,” the staff beside them chimed in. “Bigger than the tanks on those big trucks. Filling it up will cost quite a lot of money.”
Before Jiang Qingyu could speak, Fu Jingqiu said, “It’s been modified. It can hold a lot.”
Jiang Qingyu: “…” You had better not be cursing me.
Under everyone’s eyes, he used the space to transfer the fuel away. In full view of everyone, the staff only thought he had foresight and had replaced it with a larger fuel tank in advance. They did not feel there was anything wrong.
Jiang Qingyu also took the chance to chat with the gas station guy for a while. Even though there were only a few zombies here, it still sounded terrifying. This sudden massive temperature drop had brought everyone a lot of trouble, but at least there was a way to deal with zombies. If it was cold, then so be it. As long as there was heating, it was fine.
Not only food, clothing, housing, and travel were affected, coal prices had also risen rapidly. Families with small stoves at home had bought a lot of honeycomb coal to burn.
They used some daily household trash as kindling. A few pieces of coal stacked together could last through the night.
Winter came early and lasted long in this region. Heating equipment and supplies were endless, so things were somewhat manageable. But in the south, where many places had no heating, people could not quite withstand the sudden temperature drop.
If the air conditioner was set too high, it felt stuffy. If it was not turned on, people could not endure it. Small heaters only worked in small rooms; if the room was slightly larger, they were no good.
Some homes with floor heating were better, though the electricity bill was expensive. Little sun heaters and birdcage heaters took turns entering the stage. Trench coats, overcoats, and little vests were all tossed aside, while down jackets and thick cotton coats were wrapped on first.
Travel became difficult, and roads iced over. Forget people—even zombies running over would first slip and fall in a series of tumbles.
There truly was no helping it.
Jiang Qingyu chatted wildly with the gas station guy, each of them speaking in turn, barely stopping at all. It was only when Fu Jingqiu coughed twice beside him that he suddenly woke up.
That was about enough. If they kept fueling, the secret would be exposed.
Jiang Qingyu hurriedly stopped transferring fuel into the space, pushed Fu Jingqiu, who wanted to pay, back into the vehicle first, then scanned the code himself and paid a not-small fuel fee.
In any case, what he was spending now was all given by the system, so his heart did not ache.
The RV went back on the road. Their snow boots were placed in the small drying box at the entrance. After clearing off the snow, there would always be wet, slushy things like snow mud getting carried everywhere as they walked around, inevitably making things dirty.
This made things much easier to clean up and prevented the boots from being in the way.
Jiang Qingyu changed into his cat-paw slippers, calculated their remaining driving distance, and planned to prepare an afternoon tea to eat.
It seemed that recently, he had not had much time to eat the desserts he had stocked up before.
Once he decided, he did it.
Right in front of Fu Jingqiu, he took a coffee machine out of a cabinet that seemed never to have been opened before, wiped it, plugged it in, and asked him, “Do you want an Americano or a latte?”
Fu Jingqiu said, “Either is fine, thank you.”
Jiang Qingyu asked, “Nothing you especially like?”
Fu Jingqiu said, “I can accept either.”
Jiang Qingyu gave a light hum. “You really aren’t picky.”
Logically, that should have been a compliment, but Jiang Qingyu’s tone sounded a little off. Fu Jingqiu paused, then asked in addition, “What do you like?”
Jiang Qingyu took milk out of the fridge. “I like mixed ones. Basically, I can put in whatever I want.”
The aroma of the coffee beans was extremely dominant. Before long, the entire RV was filled with the rich, mellow fragrance of coffee.
Speaking of which, Jiang Qingyu had bought these while stockpiling. He did not understand varieties, origins, or flavors. The details page had boasted endlessly about the flavor profile, so he had gone directly to social media to search for guides and picked some terrifyingly expensive ones to buy. Today was still the first time he had taken them out to drink.
Jiang Qingyu took out some osmanthus honey, coconut milk, and plump, juicy honey oranges, making a fresh-tasting osmanthus honey orange raw coconut latte. He only added a tiny bit of syrup, so the flavor was just right.
The heating inside the vehicle was more than sufficient. Since he liked drinking iced drinks, he added a little more ice.
Only when he tasted it in his mouth did he remember: was doing this a bit of a waste of those terrifyingly expensive beans?
So he cleared his throat and asked Fu Jingqiu, “Do you drink Americanos?”
Fu Jingqiu said, “Sure.”
Jiang Qingyu added a few ice cubes for him with a subtle smile. “Try it.”
For some reason, Fu Jingqiu looked like the kind of person who only drank tea, and when he got a bit older, would carry around a thermos or enamel mug inspecting things everywhere. Asking him what he liked was completely useless. This might even be his first time drinking this.
After one sip, Fu Jingqiu indeed frowned. “So bitter.”
Jiang Qingyu asked, “Do you taste any fruity aroma, almond fragrance, or floral scent?”
Fu Jingqiu said, “No.”
Jiang Qingyu was delighted. “I knew it. Neither of us has such a precious tongue. Forget it.”
As he spoke, he took the coffee cup from Fu Jingqiu’s hand, changed it into iced coconut milk and milk. It tasted faintly of mint, and the sweetness paired just right with the bitter richness of the coffee. Fu Jingqiu could accept it now.
Jiang Qingyu cut a piece of blueberry milk-skin cake, a piece of lemon cheese Basque, several nut butter cheese persimmon rolls, a small plate of jackfruit stuffed with strawberries, and a plate of neatly and beautifully cut ice-cream honeydew.
After arranging everything, he took a photo and posted it to Moments, visible only to his eldest uncle’s family, with the caption: Eating snacks in a warm home. So comfortable.
As usual, he added a few wavy lines. If it were not too shameless, and if Fu Jingqiu were not present, Jiang Qingyu really would have wanted to take a couple selfies and post those too.
After completing the whole process, Jiang Qingyu put his phone aside. “Eat. Try it. I don’t know whether you like sweet things.”
Fu Jingqiu said, “All right.”
There was nothing Jiang Qingyu bought that did not taste good. Fu Jingqiu tasted each item one by one and found them all decent. If he felt something was greasy, he drank two sips of coffee, then ate some sweet, refreshing fruit. His whole person felt very comfortable.
Tangyuan, who had woken up, pawed at Jiang Qingyu’s pant leg under the table. The room smelled so fragrant. The puppy did not understand what coffee was, but after smelling the sweet aroma of cake, he instinctively wanted to eat.
Jiang Qingyu did not know what had been added to the cake, so he could not give it to him. He fed him a few pieces of honeydew and strawberry instead. Tangyuan ate them with little smacking sounds, clearly enjoying them very much.
In just a few days, he already looked much better than when they had first picked him up. Every day, he ate until his little belly became round.
When Jiang Qingyu touched him, he consciously lay down and exposed his soft belly, so excited that he kept nudging Jiang Qingyu with his wet nose.
Not long after the vehicle drove on, it began snowing outside again. Blown by the wind, the snow twisted and slanted as it poured and crashed against their windows. If one listened carefully, one could occasionally hear the sound of a large clump of snow smashing onto their vehicle before quickly being scraped away again.
Visibility had lowered slightly, but it did not affect driving much. In any case, no one needed to sit in the driver’s seat. Fu Jingqiu was worried, so he only had to keep an eye on things from time to time.
No one knew whether the temperature would drop again tonight. To be honest, it had already crossed the line a little.
If the snow became too deep and no one cleared it, they would also be in some trouble.
The two of them ate quietly for a while. Jiang Qingyu was in a decent mood, but for some reason, Fu Jingqiu seemed to have been observing him the whole time, or perhaps sizing him up.
Is this your first day knowing me, Comrade Fu Jingqiu?
Jiang Qingyu endured it for a while, but Fu Jingqiu’s gaze was too heated. It was very hard for him to ignore. After struggling through it for a moment, he finally could not bear it anymore.
“Do you have something to say to me?” he asked.
“Mm. I do.” Fu Jingqiu cooperated very well. “Should I say it now?”
Jiang Qingyu was puzzled. “Say it.”
With someone as serious as you, could you really say anything earth-shattering?
Fu Jingqiu put down his coffee and sat upright, his entire person looking much more proper. This made Jiang Qingyu unconsciously become serious too.
Fu Jingqiu said, “So can we keep sleeping together tonight?”
