Chapter 50#

World 2: I Want to Be a Fish in Your Pond#

“Who the fuck are you calling dirty?”

Yan Boxing, who could no longer tolerate his two perverted roommates, waved his fist and rushed forward viciously. He couldn’t beat Ye Rongzheng, but could he not beat Mu Feiyan, who looked like a white-cut chicken?

However, before he could get close, Mu Feiyan’s long leg kicked out inadvertently, the movement light and somewhat lazy.

The next second, Yan Boxing clutched his stomach, retreated several meters, and fell to the ground in a wretched state.

“I don’t like anyone getting within five meters of me.” Mu Feiyan put his hands in his pockets, shrugged with a smile: “So you see, I’ve been tolerant enough to your friend.”

Yan Boxing’s stomach hurt like it was being twisted by a knife. He wanted to curse loudly, but his teeth were clenched tightly to endure the severe pain. He thought Mu Feiyan was weak, but when they really fought, he realized that this person’s combat power was not inferior to Ye Rongzheng’s.

Are these two monsters? Why would two monsters gather together from thousands of miles away?

Ye Rongzheng sat on the edge of the bed with his legs wide apart, one hand scratching his short buzz cut, the other holding a cigarette that was almost finished, his thick eyebrows slanting into his temples furrowed tightly.

“Mu Feiyan was playing the guitar just fine, but Yun Siyu had to be itchy-handed and go up to pluck a few times. Does he think he is very cute? He is just a pure idiot.”

After saying these words full of disgust, Ye Rongzheng curled his knuckles, habitually wanting to flick the still-burning cigarette butt into the trash can.

Wondering what he thought of, he shook his head, clicked his tongue irritably, and then took a paper cup filled with water and threw the cigarette butt into it.

The cigarette butt entered the water with a slight sizzling sound.

Ye Rongzheng held the cup, staring blankly at the floating cigarette butt, and watching the clear water slowly turn the yellow-brown color of tobacco, before standing up and saying: “I’m going to buy an ashtray.”

He slammed the door and went out.

Mu Feiyan, who was carefully wiping his hands with disinfectant wipes, slowly walked up to Yan Boxing, lowered his eyes and whispered: “That friend of yours is really dirty and smelly. Don’t bring him into the dormitory again, understand?”

This extremely handsome man was looking down with a condescending gaze, ordering with an arrogant and cold attitude. Who did he think he was?

Yan Boxing, clutching his stomach and sitting paralyzed on the ground, gritted his teeth fiercely, his face full of unwillingness, but nodded humiliatingly.

If 996 were here, it would definitely break down. Because even if Qin Qing didn’t intervene, the most important plot point still collapsed.

According to the script, in this meeting, the lively, cheerful, kind, and cute Yun Siyu should have gained Mu Feiyan’s secret admiration. Because of this unspeakable same-sex love, Mu Feiyan took the initiative to invite Yun Siyu to live in the dormitory.

However, right now, Yun Siyu was deprived of the qualification to step in here again.

The plot deviated to an unknown track the moment Qin Qing arrived, and fate was broken accordingly.

Yun Siyu felt very uneasy. This uneasiness had no clear reason or outline, making him sit on pins and needles. Was it because he fell in love with Mu Feiyan? But Mu Feiyan seemed to like him very much too.

Thinking of this, Yun Siyu secretly looked around and found that his roommates were not there, so he covered his mouth and smiled sweetly and secretly. Then thinking of Qin Qing’s pressing step by step, this smile turned into deep anxiety.

Sure enough, the money problem should be solved quickly. Thinking like this, Yun Siyu took photos of his recent works and posted them on an art website to find buyers.

During the nervous waiting, the account backend did not receive any private messages from buyers. Such skillful oil paintings with such high artistry, why didn’t the public like them?

Yun Siyu blinked his slightly red eyes, feeling a little aggrieved in his heart.

Just then, a private message suddenly appeared in his inbox.

[How much is this painting? I want it! Is the little boy in the painting real? Who is he? My youngest son looks very much like him. I miss my youngest son so much. I need this painting. Please sell it to me!]

Yun Siyu read the private message carefully and replied: [The little boy in this painting is me when I was a child. Thank you for liking it, I am very happy.]

[This is you when you were a child?] The buyer replied very quickly.

[Yes.]

[Great! I want to buy this painting, but you need to deliver it in person. Are you in City D? I will buy it no matter how much it costs! Name a price!] The buyer was already somewhat impatient.

Yun Siyu also sensed this urgency, and his heart couldn’t help but move.

[Name a price, I really need it!] The buyer urged constantly.

Yun Siyu had only sold two oil paintings, and the prices were very low. However, at this moment, thinking of Qin Qing’s aggressiveness and the cut-off source of income, he boldly gave a number: [380,000.]

[Deal! Tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock, Room 888, Huayu Club, 4th Floor, Jingtai Mall. You come to deliver the painting. If it’s not you in person, I won’t pay.]

The buyer went offline after leaving this sentence. Yun Siyu stared blankly at this message, and after a long while, he covered his flushed face in disbelief.

Oh my god! He actually earned 380,000 in one go! One of his paintings is worth 380,000! It’s amazing!

The feeling of loss as if something important was missing, and the fear of being knocked off track by fate, all disappeared at this moment. Yun Siyu firmly believed that he was still favored by heaven.

[Let’s meet at Jingtai Mall at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon? I’m back in China and want to give you a surprise.]

At the same moment, Qin Qing received a message from Duke D’Orsay.

[Okay.] He accepted the appointment happily.

Mu Feiyan arrived at Jingtai Mall on time. Before leaving, Ye Rongzheng kept asking him where he was going to meet the scammer today. Out of a strange intuition, Mu Feiyan gave a wrong time and a wrong location.

The trees on both sides of the road were blown yellow and scattered by the gradually cooling autumn wind. After walking into the mall, a faint warmth surged from all directions, along with the stench emitted by the crowd and the special fragrance of the mall.

Fragrant and smelly mixed together, merging into another more unpleasant smell.

Mu Feiyan stood in place with frowned brows, slightly suppressing his breathing to avoid inhaling more stench. He was waiting for his body to slowly adapt to this terrible environment.

People came and went in the mall, bustling with activity. People constantly walked past Mu Feiyan, glancing at him either blatantly or secretly, while his casual gaze patrolled the huge central hall.

He knew that the scammer was hidden in the crowd.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and the gazes of many people around him also looked in the same direction as him.

A slender figure stood in the weaving crowd. Most people around were wearing clothes in main colors like black, white, gray, red, yellow, and blue, but that person alone wore a soft knitted sweater that was neither blue nor green.

The overly clear and fresh color was like a lake formed by a shallow stream winding down from a melting snow peak gathering in the densest part of the forest at the foot of the mountain. The lake water held the blue of the sky, dyed with the green of the grass, and stored the white of the cedar. This is the most dreamy color that nature can bestow.

However, even more dreamy than this dreamy color was that person’s gentle, clear, and shallow smiling face.

Why see him at a glance in the vast sea of people?

Because in the barren desert, only such a flower grew. He was the only beauty, and an existence that could not be ignored no matter what.

Not only was Mu Feiyan looking at him, but many people around were also looking at him, and he was casually turning his eyes, searching for something in the hall.

The next second, his inadvertent gaze swept over Mu Feiyan’s face, and after another second, this already blooming flower slowly bloomed to its fullest.

The clear and shallow smile turned into a brilliant smile, and the bewitching face emitted a fatal attraction.

Mu Feiyan’s breathing stopped at this moment. He realized that this was a smile of surprise.

Why surprise? Because he saw me? Mu Feiyan thought in a trance.

“Xu, Xu Yizhi?” 996, squatting at Qin Qing’s feet, whispered in disbelief.

Ten meters away stood a tall man. The man wore a camel-colored British plaid sweater on top, light coffee-colored tapered cropped trousers on the bottom, and dark coffee-colored calfskin short boots. The retro attire showed elegance. Except for the deeper contours and lighter eye color, the handsome features carried the exquisite delicacy unique to mixed-race people; he was simply another Xu Yizhi.

They were equally suave, equally gentle and affectionate, and equally lazy and casual. The only difference was that this person hid a trace of imperceptible evil in his bones, and there was an inexplicable coldness in his eyes.

Qin Qing stared blankly at the other party, unknowingly blooming the most gentle smile.

It’s so good to be able to meet you again in another world…

Mu Feiyan also stared blankly at Qin Qing. Realizing that the other party’s smile meant the joy of reunion, his heart shook, and he immediately took out his phone and sent a message: [Is it you?]

He raised his eyes and looked unblinkingly at the handsome young man ten meters away.

When the young man picked up his phone to look, the breath he had been holding was finally released at this moment. A thumping vibration came from his chest, as if something was beating very urgently and quickly.

A message replied, but with ambiguous teasing: [Guess.]

Mu Feiyan quickly looked at his phone, then raised his eyes to look at the young man who was more bewitching than a flower. The other party was still browsing his phone, not looking like he was replying to a message.

Is it him?

Mu Feiyan quickly edited a text message: [Is the person wearing the lake blue sweater you? I’m wearing a camel plaid sweater.]

The young man was still looking at his phone, not raising his head, let alone giving Mu Feiyan another look. For many people, this is a very common habit.

So is it him?

The other party didn’t reply. Not knowing why, Mu Feiyan, who rarely had emotional changes, felt restless and anxious. He composed himself, looked around the mall again, found many people staring at him, and then pursed his thin lips to guess one by one.

[Is the one wearing the green baseball jacket you?]

[The one wearing the gray suit?]

[The one wearing the dark blue sweater?]

Every time he found a target, Mu Feiyan would send a question, but his gaze uncontrollably followed that bewitching young man. The young man was still looking at his phone without raising his head. This was really not a good habit.

Several young girls surrounded him, talking to him enthusiastically. He raised his head, revealing a smile as gentle as water. Although what he replied couldn’t be heard clearly, that patience and meticulousness could be seen. Was he waiting for these girls?

The heart harboring a trace of hope sank completely.

A message jumped out of the chat box: [It’s me.]

So the one wearing the dark blue sweater was Bubble Snail. Mu Feiyan turned his head to look at a man in the opposite direction. Not knowing why, he suddenly felt a burst of lack of interest.

If he hadn’t met the man whose smile was as gentle as lake water first, he wouldn’t have lost interest in today’s game so quickly.

Mu Feiyan moved his long legs and slowly walked towards the person wearing the dark blue sweater, suppressing irritability and impatience in his amber pupils. He wanted to end today’s plan immediately.

[The person wearing the lake blue sweater is me.] Another text message popped up.

Mu Feiyan lowered his eyes and looked inadvertently, his forward steps suddenly paused, then he turned around abruptly, looking at the young man ten meters away in astonishment.

The young man raised his arm and waved, a slyness of a successful little trick hidden in his brilliant smile.

The heart that had fallen to the bottom of the valley rose to the clouds at this moment. Mu Feiyan was stunned for a long while before slowly pulling the corners of his mouth, chuckling extremely happily, his pitch-black cold eyes filled with warmth, shining brightly.

He strode towards the young man, faster and faster. The young man also walked quickly towards him, spreading his arms trying to hug.

Mu Feiyan, who had already walked close, habitually stepped back a few steps to avoid this hug, his brows slightly furrowed, appearing very resistant.

Qin Qing was stunned.

996 said gloatingly: “Meow, he is not Xu Yizhi! How could Xu Yizhi reject you!”

Qin Qing lowered his arms and actively stepped back a few steps to widen the distance. He knew this person was not Xu Yizhi, but he also knew that they possessed the same soul.

“Hello, I am Bubble Snail, my name is Qin Qing.”

“I am Duke D’Orsay, my Chinese name is Mu Feiyan.”

The social distance of four meters was a bit far for ordinary people, but for Mu Feiyan, it was not far enough. Looking at Qin Qing’s slightly disappointed and awkward expression, he actually felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But the opportunity to close the distance had been missed, so they could only get along like this for now…

“Were those girls just now your friends?” Not knowing why, Mu Feiyan cared very much about this matter.

“No, they asked me for directions.” Qin Qing shook his head.

Mu Feiyan then showed a little smile and said: “Shall we go for a stroll?”

“Okay.” Qin Qing quickly adapted to this alienation.

The two wandered aimlessly. Mu Feiyan would glance at Qin Qing every time he walked a distance, thinking about some irrelevant things in his mind.

If Qin Qing had used his own photo to scam money from the beginning, let alone one hundred and fifty thousand, I could give him one and a half million. Thinking of this, Mu Feiyan glanced at Qin Qing and quickly denied it in his heart: No, I can give him fifteen million.

After walking a distance, he glanced at Qin Qing again.

Qin Qing raised his eyes to look at him and whispered mysteriously: “Am I very good-looking?” As soon as the voice fell, a clear and beautiful smile bloomed on his slightly red thin lips.

Mu Feiyan laughed heartily and denied again in his heart: Actually, I can give him one hundred and fifty million.

While Mu Feiyan was raising the stakes in his mind, Qin Qing had already led him into a jewelry store.

This was a shopping habit developed in his previous life, which couldn’t be changed even if he became a pauper in this life. Seeing the enthusiastic sales guide approaching, Qin Qing was embarrassed for a moment and turned to leave, but Mu Feiyan said softly: “If you like it, go in and have a look.”

Sure enough, he is a scammer. He asked me out just to use his beauty to hook me and make me spend money on him.

Thinking contemptuously in his heart, Mu Feiyan secretly touched the wallet in his sweater pocket. There was a black card in the bag, which could buy the entire mall, so it wasn’t impossible to satisfy this greedy scammer.

He felt a bit more at ease, so he said again: “I think diamonds suit you best, let’s look at diamonds first.”

Qin Qing smiled with curved lips, and then walked into the store.

The two were led to the diamond area by the enthusiastic sales guide.

Qin Qing took a fancy to a platinum necklace with a yellow diamond pendant at a glance.

He extended his slender fingertips, pointed at the necklace through the glass counter, and said gently: “Can you show me this one?”

Mu Feiyan was originally standing three or four meters away. Hearing this, he walked closer and bent down to look at the necklace.

Only then did he discover that Qin Qing didn’t have the slightest mixed smell on him. Instead, he overflowed with the mellowness of milk, the sweetness of honey, the sweetness of fruits, and the coldness of winter snow and autumn frost. Various temperatures and various tones of fragrance mixed together to form a mesmerizing fragrance that made people swoon and become infatuated.

Mu Feiyan was stunned. The breathing he had deliberately suppressed was now fully released, sniffing deeply in self-forgetfulness. That blurred strong fragrance scattered from Qin Qing’s pitch-black hair, soaking Mu Feiyan’s body and brain, making him dizzy.

Qin Qing took the necklace handed by the sales guide and let the single pear-shaped yellow diamond pendant hang by Mu Feiyan’s deep eyes.

“It matches your eyes so well.” He exclaimed in a small voice, making no secret of his appreciation and liking for Mu Feiyan’s handsome face.

Mu Feiyan then came back to his senses and quickly looked at the carat and price of the yellow diamond. Such a small one, only one hundred and fifty thousand. Usually, he wouldn’t even look at it.

But since Qin Qing likes it, giving him a little sweetness first isn’t impossible. Later, he can slowly set a trap to catch him. Anyway, that plan isn’t urgent…

Mu Feiyan took out his phone and opened the payment code, his movements extremely crisp.

Qin Qing returned the necklace, sighing regretfully: “Your skin is very white, and your eyes are dyed with a layer of clear amber, most suitable for wearing yellow diamonds. In the future, when I have money, I will definitely buy it and give it to you.”

After saying this, he looked up at Mu Feiyan, his pitch-black eyes full of sincere warmth.

Knowing clearly that this was just a kind of rhetoric commonly used by scammers, the purpose was to please the target, bewitch the target, and then lure the target to spend money for him step by step. But Mu Feiyan was still touched.

Really knows how to talk. If even I can’t handle it, what kind of sugar daddy can’t Qin Qing take down? Am I his number one target?

How many people has he said such sweet words to? How many people has the surprise smile at the first meeting been shown to? How many people’s hearts has that unfinished hug captured?

The more Mu Feiyan thought, the colder his eyes became, but his thin lips raised a seemingly very happy arc: “Okay, then I’ll wait for you to buy it for me.”

He didn’t take this sentence seriously, but Qin Qing nodded seriously.

The two left the jewelry store and walked into a clothing store. The men’s clothing in the store was very expensive, with the cheapest tie costing thousands of yuan.

Qin Qing seemed to slowly find the fun of shopping, constantly picking out clothes and pants and handing them to Mu Feiyan. After trying them on, Mu Feiyan was shocked to find that Qin Qing’s taste was surprisingly accurate. Every set of clothes picked out was the most suitable for him.

“Looking handsome makes everything look good.” Qin Qing sat on the sofa in the rest area, resting his chin on his hands, and said with a smile.

996 squatted on the coffee table, pawing at the candy in the crystal dish. Smelling the aroma drifting from the restaurant upstairs, it slurped its drool and ran out of the store quickly.

Mu Feiyan came out of the fitting room and adjusted his collar in front of the mirror. The sales guide walked over to help him, but he frowned and avoided her with disgust.

Qin Qing’s eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up and said: “Let me do it.”

Mu Feiyan looked back, his expression of disgust not diminishing much. The pair of extremely thin and transparent plastic gloves he wore on his hands had long been discovered by Qin Qing.

Qin Qing asked the sales guide for a pair of pure white cotton gloves and put them on, asking politely: “Is this okay?”

Mu Feiyan then nodded and accepted it reluctantly.

However, when Qin Qing approached with that blurred strong fragrance and touched his most fatal throat with slightly warm fingertips, miraculously, Mu Feiyan didn’t feel any resistance at all. His deepening breathing even liked this close distance.

Because of Qin Qing’s existence, the whole world seemed to have become clean.

Mu Feiyan lowered his clear eyes and scrutinized Qin Qing with incredible eyes.

Qin Qing carefully adjusted the collar, and finally took a python skin belt from the sales guide, carefully passing it through the belt loops with minimal contact.

His slender fingertips touched Mu Feiyan’s waist from time to time. The pale white and pink fingernails were more lustrous and cute than pearl buttons. His lowered eyes were full of focus and seriousness, and the movement of fastening the belt was careful and cautious.

Mu Feiyan realized more clearly that as long as Qin Qing was willing, he could easily please and even bewitch anyone. No one could resist his gentle care, just as the dust floating in the air could not resist the sweep of a hurricane.

He would definitely become the most successful scammer in the world.

Mu Feiyan thought while revealing a cold smile.

What to do, he just didn’t want Qin Qing to scam others anymore.

So he stepped back a few steps, pointed to the entire store, and said in a seductive tone: “I have already bought a lot of clothes. You go pick a set, I’ll give it to you. Don’t worry about the price, just choose what you like.”

“No need.” Qin Qing shook his head and refused.

“Go pick. I really want to give you a gift.” Mu Feiyan said more and more earnestly.

Qin Qing looked around the store, his gaze suddenly freezing.

“Then can I pick two sets?” He looked up and asked expectantly.

One set is too little, want two sets? Really greedy…

While thinking contemptuously in his heart, Mu Feiyan nodded readily: “Of course.”

“One set for me, one set for you.”

Qin Qing walked to a row of shelves and took down two sets of clothes, both black and white striped sweaters with pure black pants, but the patterns on the front of the sweaters were complementary. Standing together wearing them would form a sketch of a rose.

The sales guide blinked and said teasingly: “These are couple outfits, very suitable for you.” She misunderstood the relationship between the two.

Mu Feiyan was stunned. All those messy thoughts in his mind flew away, turning into the ambiguous and hot word “couple” echoing constantly.

So this is another trick of Qin Qing. Knowing that he likes men, he did this deliberately. Picking two sets of couple outfits, silently expressing liking without confessing, and then making him fall with one hit!

Mu Feiyan thought distractedly, his Adam’s apple rolling slightly, thirsty as hell, and itchy as hell.

“Does it look good?” Qin Qing held up the two sets of clothes.

“Good looking.” Mu Feiyan answered with a smile, but his soul seemed to stand above, watching indifferently as he lost his mind.

“Then go in and try it.” Qin Qing handed over the larger size set. There were people in other fitting rooms, so he could only wait outside.

Mu Feiyan entered the fitting room with a dizzy head.

Qin Qing took out his phone to look and unexpectedly found a transfer message. Yun Siyu actually paid back the three hundred thousand in just one day. He also deliberately explained that he sold an oil painting, and the buyer appreciated his painting skills very much and prepared to hold an art exhibition for him. By then, he would be able to pay off the remaining millions.

This is the difference between the protagonist and the supporting role. No matter how difficult the protagonist encounters, there will be noble people to help, while the supporting role can only struggle alone and be crushed into mud.

Qin Qing covered his thin lips and smiled, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or helplessness.

Just then, 996 rushed in like a small whirlwind with a sticky rice dumpling in its mouth.

Swallowing the dumpling whole with a gulp, it said quickly: “The protagonist shou and Gong 3 saw you across the street, they are coming over!”

“Gong 3?” Qin Qing raised his eyebrows, realizing that this was important information.

The next second, two young men, one tall and one short, one sturdy and one thin, walked into the store. The two looked at Qin Qing with scrutiny. The short one had a trace of hostility in his eyes, and the tall one was full of disdain.

“Yun Siyu doesn’t know me?” Qin Qing smiled with interest.

“You are using your own face, of course he doesn’t know you. Besides, the last time he saw the original owner, the original owner had just gone bankrupt not long ago and was still a big fat guy. It’s been three years, and you’ve lost so much weight, how could he recognize you.”

996 tried hard to find excuses for Yun Siyu.

Qin Qing curved his lips and did not refute.

At this time, the tall and sturdy man actually stole Mu Feiyan’s wallet and phone placed in the sweater pocket, and then pulled Yun Siyu away quickly.

Qin Qing, who completely didn’t expect the protagonist to steal things, was stunned for a long while before getting up to chase, but heard the two start talking after leaving the store.

Yun Siyu: “Why did you steal Mu Feiyan’s wallet and phone?”

“I’m helping him! That man just now scammed Mu Feiyan out of a lot of money online. Mu Feiyan specially fished him out today, took him to a luxury store to buy things, and when paying the bill, he would tell the scammer that his wallet and phone were stolen, asking the scammer to help pay, and pay back double another day. Scammers like to cast a long line to catch big fish, so he will definitely pay the bill, and then wait for Mu Feiyan to pay back double. Mu Feiyan won’t give him money! Mu Feiyan will only pit him to death! This is the plan we discussed long ago. I stole Mu Feiyan’s wallet and phone because I was afraid that scammer would expose him.”

“So that’s how it is. That scammer is really beautiful, I thought they were a couple.” Yun Siyu breathed a sigh of relief.

“How could Mu Feiyan like that kind of trash. I think he looks very average, not as cute as you.”

“Brother Yan, stop talking, I’m blushing.”

The two walked away playfully and laughing, while Qin Qing stood at the store entrance, looking at their backs with an unfathomable expression.

996 sat on the coffee table chugging a bottle of mineral water, its laughter full of pride: “I thought Gong 2 would fall in love with you at first sight like Gong 1, but I didn’t expect him to still play you according to the script! I’m dying of laughter! I just like watching you fail!”

“Gong 1, Gong 2, Gong 3?” Qin Qing walked back to the store slowly and said slowly: “So Gong 1 is Ye Rongzheng, Gong 2 is Mu Feiyan, and Gong 3 is that big guy just now. All three of them will fall in love with Yun Siyu because Yun Siyu is the purest, kindest, and cutest?”

Cold and heavy black mist surged in his pitch-black eyes, causing Qin Qing’s gentle face to be covered with frost.

He walked slowly to the sofa, reached out, and wearily brushed aside the couple outfit he had carefully selected.

Actually, he had long noticed the mocking glances Mu Feiyan occasionally cast, but privately, he was unwilling to admit it, nor willing to think too much.
