Chapter 3 – Two Horse Stick Toy
Lin Qi is walking forwards without saying anything, his complexion looks somewhat bad. Li Liheng who was standing behind him were startled and looking blankly —— wasn't he supposed to throw himself in his arms and shedding tears of gratitude… But, the person who were clearly planning the capturing plan quickly chasing after him right away and approaching him. Draping his outer coat at Lin Qi, he said : A Qi, take care or you'll catch a cold…"
Lin Qi paused and pursed his lips, but he still said nothing, and continue to walk toward.
Li Liheng keep on pursued him persistently, "A Qi, don't you remember me? …Right, we haven't seen each other for several years, so it's normal for A Qi to become estranged from me during that time…" his speaking voice is rather low, and his gentle appearance also have a trace of sadness.
Lin Qi stopped suddenly, puffed his cheeks and glaring at him coldly : "Who are you, and why should I remember you." It was obviously a provoking way of speech, but with his childish looks and tone, he ended up looking extremely meng1.
But Li Liheng is only fifteen years old, and the distinct future shrewdness is not present. Although his face still looks gentle, yet his eyes has turned a bit cold.
Lin Qi that has stopped did not walk straight ahead, he took a few steps, and seeing that there's no one following him, with a discontent and awkward manner said, "Hey, are you coming or not? Didn't you say you were going to my house?”
Li Liheng paused for a while before curving his eyes2 and following him closely.
After a long walk, Lin Qi just listened fixedly and said3 ——
"Hey, I went to see you that day, why didn't you meet me? …" The voice still sounds a little awkward at the beginning, but there was some grievance at the end…
Li Liheng was stunned. When did it happen? After thinking it over, he remembered that his father has just died at that time, and Li Jingtian, the head of the Li family came to visit, but unexpectedly, after Li Jingtian leave, this little one has come to see him secretly. He was in a bad mood then, and hearing the not good news, he told the servant to send him out…
After thinking it through, Li Liheng couldn't help but feel at ease. Was he actually holding his breath?
"I'm sorry, my mood is very bad at that time…" His tender eyes were filled with regret, which will makes peoples believes his sincerity easily.
"You're my only friend. If you're in a bad mood, this Young Master4 could accompany you to talk it out… Yet you never come to see me for years…" Lin Qi seemed to have accepted his explanation, but it's obvious that he's still fuming and gnashing his teeth angrily.
"it's my fault, there won't be a next time. Have you been waiting for a long time?" The always curved pair of eyes widened and looking straight at Lin Qi, gazing so intently and earnestly. The tender friendliness in it makes peoples to be very likely to believe that they are very important and cherished by the other person, and unconsciously get caught up in the trap…
"I, I'm not! Not meeting then not meeting, this Young Master will be arriving to the home very soon…" Lin Qi shiny black pupils dilated and his eyes opened widely, and he walked away hastily after finished saying it. It just that the area around his neck is slightly flushed…
Li Liheng remembered that it seemed to be raining heavily that day, and peoples said that there had been a small figure outside that had not left… Now looking at the straightforward expression of the person who tries to hides things but ended up revealing more, he couldn't help but giggle for a second —— really cute.
Just like this, the two ambiguously walking back to the Lin family house.
Just as Lin Qi walked into the estate, the steward immediately came and greet him, "Young Master, how did you ended up like this? When you run out alone today, Master has rushed to send peoples to look for you everywhere…"
"En, I'm going to change my clothes and go see my father." Lin Qi turned to Li Liheng and said : “Do you want to go and talk with father first? You following me here this time is because you have some important matter to talk with my father, right?"
Li Liheng looked at Lin Qi and said with a smile : "Does A Qi think that I came here just to meet uncle Lin?
Lin Qi just found out that the other's outer garment is still draped on his body, and his complexion flushed slightly with shame, but nevertheless the mouth reluctantly said : "This Young Master will kindly lend you a piece of clothing."
Li Liheng gaze swept between the two peoples height, and Lin Qi also noticed that the other party is a lot more taller than himself, and for a moment the hair is about to explode5, "Hey, what kind of look are you giving, do you want the clothes or not?!" Lin Qi said angrily.
Looking at the angry look of the small juvenile that's baring its fangs and showed its claws6 at him, Li Liheng was stunned again. He actually only wanted to say that he don't think that the other's clothes will fit him, how did he provoke him again this time? Until he heard Lin Qi numbing to himself "This young master will surely be growing more taller…" Li Liheng could only smile wryly and following Lin Qi to change the clothes…
The steward behind them dutifully and diligently reporting back to the Master about the situation. He couldn't help but sigh on the way —— with Young Master Li here, Young Master has become more lively than before…
Bathroom
There's a sandalwood folding screen standing right at the door, turning over the screen will reveal the marble paved ground, and in the middle of it stood a huge bathing pool covered with white jade; on the wall opposite the screen is a crane shaped statue, and at this moment, there's hot water that flowed down continuously from the crane's mouth, babbling as it flows into the bathing pool.
The water vapor inside the room were dense, a faint fragrance were drifted along with the water ripples as the person slowly start to entered the water7… Because it was still the daytime, there was some slight sunlight that coming in through the paper windows, making some indistinct patterns that scattered on the water surface, projecting the clear and gleaming reflection of the waves in sunlight, just like a brocade that's flowed with lights and overflowing colors8.
The mist is rising in the air, and the long hair of the person that were scattered in the water like the ink could be seen vaguely, reflecting the indistinct light of the fair skins, the lingering feeling intertwined in the water9…
"Xiao Qi, someone is coming over… based on the estimation it's a wolf who wants to eat tofu10!" Little Egg were making the sounds of gnashing its teeth in Lin Qi mind.
The juvenile in the water titled his head, and simply got up and leave the bathing pool immediately, picking the unlined garment11 on the side and put it on his body.
Suddenly, there was a soft sounds of footsteps on the room, after the screen were turned, a person appears —— long hairs tied up high, face looks pure and handsome, the pair of brows and eyes is filled with brilliance gentleness, it is Li Liheng.
The juvenile raises his eyes, his face was handsome, and right now, after covered with a dense water mist, there was a faint flush lingering on his face, and in addition his eyes were moist with a layer of water; the four eyes encountering the other's12, and for a moment, no one knows who's startling who in the end.
Li Liheng only stunned for a short moment, and then he lifted his slightly bended eyes, "A Qi, you forgot to take your clothes." Saying that, he finally walked lightly with an unhurried pace and taking the clothes to the edge of the pool.
The juvenile only replying inattentively, and reaches for the clothes with one hand. But, maybe because the marble floor that were covered with water was too slippery, Li Liheng foot actually slipped at the edges, and he's falling into the bathing pool, and Lin Qi who were on the side was also brought down together.
The two is not prepared, the water were splashes everywhere and the water quickly got into their nose and mouth… Lin Qi couches a few times…
"A Qi, are you alright?" Li Liheng hurriedly picked Lin Qi up from the water and said it with concern. The hand felt like touching a piece of satin13, and Lin Qi doesn't have the time to fasten his underlined garment before, so at this time, the waves of the water were stirring it open, and the two red dots that was hidden by the white underlined garment is disappeared and reappearing constantly, and the exquisite fair skins is coming out from the wet clothes; as the unlined garment was washed open and the clothes were swinging around Li Liheng that were supporting Lin Qi steadily with both hands, he then caressing him slowly in the middle of the water ripples14… it's a soft, hot and moist touch…
Li Liheng suddenly felt that his mouth is very dry, and he looked down to the juvenile on his bosom —— the remarkable handsome face is flushed slightly, and the black and bright pupils is covered with a dense layer of misty water. His eyes fell from his long, soft neck, all the way to the delicate clavicle, to the fair body in the water that looks like it's adorned with tiny bits of crystals…
Feeling the hot body that clinging closely to his body —— Li Liheng hummed stiffly, he actually reacted, he cannot help but regret and reap what he had sown; originally thinking to seduce the other party, yet it didn't even do anything to the other, but he himself…
He quickly let go of Lin Qi unobtrusively, increasing the distance between the two, and managed to smile as gently as usual and said, "The clothes are wet. I'll get them for you again.” He then walked out of the bathroom and departing in high speed.
The youngster * * is always come fast and enthusiastically, and it's also very easy to tease.
Lin Qi looked at the other party regardless of the wet clothes on the body, the flushed looks on his face is gone in high speed, and for a moment the eyes that's still covered with a layer of mist is laughing lightly, a beauty that can attracting souls and seizing the heart15… Since you dare to approach with a motive, are you ready to fall?
