Wen Qi silently propped himself up and walked towards the bathroom. A moment later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Wen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief; at least Brother Qi wouldn't risk his health to spite her.
If he hadn't gone up the mountain to find leaves today, he wouldn't have slipped into the cave. Would he have been able to surprise everyone with Brother Qi right after dinner, and then the two of them could have sneaked out on a date? Nobody here would know them, and they could have gone shopping and eaten like a normal couple.
But what did Brother Qi encounter here? His own disappearance, then a frantic search for him, followed by a breakdown and regret—if only he had arrived even a little later…
The more Wen Cheng thought about it, the more upset she became. Ignoring Wen Qi's warnings, she got out of bed and dragged her uncomfortable foot to the bathroom door. The blurry glass door reflected a taut body. As Wen Cheng stood at the door, hesitating whether to knock, the sound of water suddenly stopped, and then the bathroom door was flung open. Before Wen Cheng could react, she was pulled inside.
Slammed against the damp wall, the moisture seeping into his clothes, Qi Ge, draped in a bathrobe, stared at him with icy eyes. Then, in the next second, that cold gaze was replaced by a burning intensity, which quickly intensified.
Wen Qi held Wen Cheng down with one hand and scraped her lower lip hard with the other. "Wen Cheng, you can forget everything I said just because you came out here!"
This was the first time Wen Qi had ever sworn at Wen Cheng. A sharp pain shot through her lower lip as he wiped it, and Wen Cheng tried to escape uncomfortably, but Wen Qi held her down tightly. The unprecedented pressure he exerted made Wen Cheng tremble uncontrollably; her entire body seemed to be screaming for help.
"I didn't expect it to rain so hard. I was wrong, Brother Qi, I was wrong," Wen Cheng apologized, tears welling up in her eyes. Large tears soaked into Wen Qi's fingertips, which he then wiped away fiercely.
This time, he didn't want to feel sorry for this big bad guy at all. "Just a little bit more, Wen Cheng, just a little bit more. The last time I'll see you is before your cremation," Wen Qi said, his voice trembling with a sob.
"No, um!"
Before Wen Cheng could finish her apology, Wen Qi viciously silenced her with a kiss. If a first kiss could be a beautiful, innocent memory, this one was nothing short of vengeful torture.
Wen Qi punished Wen Cheng by biting her lower lip, the last bite drawing blood.
"Qi, um, brother, we still have filming..." Wen Cheng's words were cut off by Wen Qi before she could finish them.

Good night~
Chapter 85 Boyfriend
Wen Cheng felt like a drowning pedestrian, sinking into the deep sea called Wen Qi. The deep sea caressed his body, twisted his lower lip, and then mercilessly burrowed into his mouth, forcefully taking over Wen Cheng's oral cavity with thunderous power. The taste of blood mingled with the lingering scent of shampoo from the bathroom, and the sounds of ambiguous lips and tongues intertwining echoed in the bathroom.
Wen Cheng gradually lost the strength to resist, her body sliding uncontrollably downwards, only to be caught firmly by a pair of large hands. Her restrained hands wouldn't be free for a moment, and just as Wen Cheng relaxed, her thighs were suddenly clamped down, and her body was lifted into the air, her entire upper body pressed against the wall.
"Ugh!" Wen Cheng had a chance to catch his breath during this brief moment, but it was quickly blocked again. The culprit showed no mercy and ransacked his wounds. When Wen Cheng was in great pain, he kept tugging at Wen Qi's bathrobe, but this did nothing to stop Wen Qi's "abuse".
This "punishment" lasted a full fifteen minutes. By the time Wen Qi carried Wen Cheng to the bed, her lips were swollen beyond recognition. The last drop of blood from the bite wound had been used up by the two of them during their intimate moments. Wen Qi showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he looked down at Wen Cheng, his thumb lightly rubbing her wound.
Wen Cheng couldn't help but hiss. The hand that had been playing with her paused, and finally gently touched Wen Cheng's lower lip.
"Wen Cheng, does it hurt?" Wen Qi asked expressionlessly.
Before Wen Cheng could answer, Wen Qi preemptively answered the question, "But this level of pain is insignificant compared to when I was looking for you."
Wen Cheng felt the stinging pain on his lips. He could completely imagine Qi Ge's breakdown at that moment. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been as calm as Qi Ge back then. Just as Wen Qi was about to pull his hand away from Wen Cheng's lips, Wen Cheng reached out and grabbed his hand, then gently rubbed it against his cheek.
"Brother Qi, I'm sorry, I was wrong," Wen Cheng whimpered pitifully, tears streaming down her face like a tap.
Wen Qi paused, almost forgiving this little rascal.
"Wen Cheng, I've never asked anything of you, have I?" Wen Qi asked.
Wen Cheng paused for a moment, then nodded.
“Then,” Wen Qi withdrew his hand from Wen Cheng’s grasp and placed it back on Wen Cheng’s head, half sighing and half pleading, “I only want one thing from you now, and that is, a sense of security. Wen Cheng, I want you to promise that you can stay with me forever, until I die naturally. If I leave first on that day, you don’t have to be afraid, because I will be your end. You don’t have to be afraid of death anymore. If you leave before me, I will be glad, because I will bear the waiting and emptiness of living. But I will not allow you to leave in this way before your life is completely fulfilled. Wen Cheng, if it happens again, I will go crazy. Maybe it’s too early for you now, but for me, you are the whole meaning of my life.”
Wen Cheng heard such formal, yet deeply tragic words from Wen Qi's mouth once again. His eyes stung, and for the first time, he realized his significance to others. He understood that many times, a simple "I'm sorry" couldn't solve the problem. For example, he had witnessed Qi-ge's pain and breakdown during this period. He had often been alone, but now, with a hand holding his, he didn't want to let go.
"Brother Qi, I will live well, I will try my best to give you enough security," Wen Qi said, his nose getting sore. Then he hugged him tightly with his big hands. Brother Qi had finally forgiven him.
Once the two were lying in bed, Wen Cheng thoroughly enjoyed the time Qi Ge had stolen to spend with her. Even though she had just been thoroughly exhausted, Wen Cheng still didn't hold a grudge and cuddled up to Qi Ge.
"Brother Qi, how many days will you stay here?"
"My flight is for tomorrow night."
Wen Cheng suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Wen Qi in disbelief, "Tomorrow night? That means there's only one day left?"
Wen Qi chuckled, "Yeah, it was supposed to be a day and a night, but today we used up all the time because I was looking for you, you little rascal." Wen Qi didn't offer any comfort to Wen Cheng.
Wen Cheng instantly looked like a hamster that had lost its food supply, staring blankly at Wen Qi with her lips slightly parted and glistening with moisture. Wen Qi couldn't resist taking another bite.
Wen Cheng hissed and pushed Qi Ge away. Now that Qi Ge wasn't angry, it was time for her to stand up for herself. Pointing to her lips, she was about to make a scene: "Look at this! What am I going to do about my filming the day after tomorrow? We just gave ourselves away. Look at how enthusiastic the director is. I feel like a nobody he sent there for some kind of 'sexual favor'!"
"Nonsense, you've been mine for a long time. He was just using the same old trick," Wen Qi chuckled deeply, his magnetic voice making Wen Cheng's heart flutter.
God, God the hell is using the same old trick again! Making him look like an outdated old cabbage!
Wen Qi let out a dissatisfied groan, so it retaliated by nudging Wen Qi's chest muscles, which became rock hard!
Wen Qi rubbed her boyfriend a few times before pulling him out. Seeing Wen Cheng's flushed face, she couldn't help but pinch it. "It's okay. We're near the mountains. Just say you were bitten by mosquitoes."
"Do you think they're all idiots?" Wen Cheng asked quietly.
Wen Qi let out a long hum, then revealed a confident smile, "Just say I got bitten too,"
......
Having survived the ordeal, Wen Cheng, full of energy, wrestled with her boyfriend. However, it was a one-sided fight, and she was quickly subdued by Wen Qi, who pulled her into his arms.
After playing around for more than half an hour, Wen Cheng finally got sleepy. Wen Qi gently kissed Wen Cheng's forehead and turned off the main light, leaving two small nightlights on for her.
Around three or four in the morning, Wen Cheng suddenly woke up. He didn't know why, but he could feel Wen Qi's hand gripping his tightly, his brows furrowed, as if he had dreamt something bad.
Wen Cheng didn't back down; instead, her nose stung with tears. It was all her fault. Wen Cheng tightly gripped Wen Qi's hand, using one hand to gently pat Wen Qi's back. Before drowsiness returned, she used all her heart to take care of her lover. "Brother Qi, I'm here."
These words had a magical effect; Wen Cheng clearly felt the pressure on her hand lessen, but she still didn't want to let go. Wen Cheng exhaled, her five fingers merging into the gaps between Wen Qi's fingers, and she drifted off to sleep in a more intimate way.
The next morning, Wen Cheng was very sleepy, but the thought of Wen Qi's flight that night made her force herself to open her eyes. The person next to her was no longer there, and the warmth beside her had long since disappeared. Wen Cheng sat up anxiously, but before she could even start looking for him, the door was opened from the outside.
Wen Qi, dressed neatly, brought in a bag of breakfast.
There are steamed buns and rice noodles.
"Up so early? Come wash up and have breakfast." Wen Qi walked over and kissed Wen Cheng's lips without any hesitation.
Instead, Wen Cheng covered her mouth in embarrassment and annoyance; he was disgusted with himself.
To prevent this from happening, Wen Cheng moved to the edge of the bed and hurried to the bathroom to wash up. Only when her breath was fresh with the scent of mint did she emerge, satisfied, and give her boyfriend a passionate kiss.
It was another ten minutes later when the kissing ended. It could have continued for a while longer, but Wen Cheng's stomach couldn't help but protest. So the two reluctantly let go. Wen Cheng's lips were red, swollen, and moist, and Wen Qi's weren't much better. A light scar appeared on the corner of his mouth. It's clear that birds of a feather flock together.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Wen Qi went to check the door, and standing there was Wen Yunyi, who was also carrying a breakfast. His gaze lingered on Wen Qi's lips with confusion. "Big brother, what happened to your mouth?"
"I was bitten by mosquitoes. There are a lot of mosquitoes here." Wen Qi walked into the room sideways.
Wen Yunyi followed him in and saw Wen Cheng sitting at the table slurping noodles. "Brother, have you all bought breakfast?" Wen Yunyi's tone was visibly downcast.
"Actually, we could have had a few more. What kind of buns did you bring?" Wen Cheng glanced at Wen Yunyi's bag.
Wen Yunyi's expression visibly improved: "It's that soup dumpling place on the street. Lots of my colleagues have tried it and said it's delicious. Bro, you guys have some." Wen Yunyi proudly placed the dumplings on their table.
Wen Cheng reached out and grabbed one, popping it into her mouth. It was one of those small soup dumplings about the size of three fingers, with the soup broth simmered just right. They were delicious, one bite at a time. Wen Cheng casually picked one up and stuffed it into Wen Qi's mouth. Wen Qi opened his mouth to catch it without even flinching. The two of them seemed to be getting along even better than they had two months ago, in a way that was almost eerily harmonious.
Wen Yunyi's attention immediately shifted to Wen Cheng's lips, "Why are your lips so swollen?"
Wen Cheng: "...From mosquito bites."
Wen Yunyi frowned. "That doesn't make sense. Why isn't your brother's condition as serious as yours?" Wen Yunyi was actually more concerned about Wen Cheng's mouth, but Wen Cheng wondered if Wen Yunyi had discovered something. He felt that as a member of the underground organization, he had a responsibility to make some effort for the organization.
"Brother Qi has a stronger resistance to toxins than I do!"
"Cough cough cough!" Wen Qi, who was standing to the side, suddenly coughed twice. Wen Qi calmly took a sip of water and said, "The soup dumplings have plenty of broth."
Wen Cheng: Brother Qi, didn't you already swallow it?
Wen Yunyi was silent for a moment, then smiled gently, "Big brother, I'm glad you like it. I'm going to film now. See you tonight."
Wen Yunyi left the house looking very happy.
"Why is Cha Cha suddenly so happy?" Wen Cheng asked, puzzled.
Wen Qi thought for a moment, "Maybe it was because I praised him."
It seems that Wen Yunyi really hadn't received any benefits before, such as his elder brother's love.
Wen Cheng felt like she had won big after thinking about it!
After breakfast, Wen Cheng dragged Wen Qi to the shop from yesterday. His feet really didn't hurt at all now, and he was walking with great energy. However, after a few hops, he was violently suppressed by Wen Qi.
At 10 a.m., the owner's shop was already open, but there wasn't much business. The rain had just stopped, and there weren't many people out.
Wen Cheng led Wen Qi across the threshold.
"Oh, so the young lady brought her boyfriend?" The boss greeted her with a smile.
Wen Qi stopped abruptly. "Say that again?"
Chapter 86 Ear Piercing
The boss looked at the imposing and handsome man and wondered if he had said something wrong. But the man's expression didn't seem to suggest otherwise.
"Um, you two are a couple, right?" the boss asked cautiously.
Wen Qi's smile was almost overflowing, and he gave a restrained "hmm." Wen Cheng blushed slightly, coughed, but was still very happy inside.
Boss: Oh, I see. You guys just wanted to provoke me. I get it.
Wen Cheng stepped forward and handed the maple leaves she had found yesterday to the shopkeeper. Her father examined them carefully and said, "Hey, young man, you found some good maple leaves. The size is just right, and the color is perfect too. Okay, come pick them up in two days."
"What do you mean by picking up goods? What's the purpose of this maple leaf?" Wen Qi asked, looking at the leaf.
Wen Cheng's body suddenly stiffened. Could it be that no one had told Brother Qi about this before?
"Ah, it's nothing, I just picked it up randomly during yesterday's filming. Qi-ge, let's go look around somewhere else after we've finished here!" Wen Cheng pulled Wen Qi, ready to leave.
"Hey, young man, why are you leaving? I see neither of you has pierced ears. Do you want me to pierce them for you right here? Once the earrings are made, you can wear them right away, right?" The boss wasn't going to let any opportunity to do business slip by.
Wen Qi spared no effort to pull back Wen Cheng, who was trying to escape, and turned to the shopkeeper: "Is this maple leaf for making earrings?"
"Yes, didn't the young man tell you?" The shop owner very professionally took out a sample from the counter. Wen Qi walked over and looked at it carefully. Everything that happened yesterday gradually connected with the things happening now.
Wen Cheng felt so guilty that she broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like the sky was about to fall.
"...Then let's fight,"
Wen Qi's unexpected words left Wen Cheng staring at him in disbelief, her words tumbling out incoherently, "Qi, Brother Qi? No, aren't you going to scold me?"
