QHM Chapter 95 – Extra 5

At the bottom of the dorm building, many people were secretly surprised to see Xu Yin walking openly with a tall and handsome man.

In an era where same-sex couples could legally get married, gay relationships weren’t exactly rare anymore. What’s more, as a somewhat well-known figure on campus, it was no secret that Xu Yin liked men.

However, in the two years since he enrolled, no one had ever seen Xu Yin get particularly close to any guy—except his roommates.

Xu Yin was so good-looking, and he’d been single all this time. Naturally, that made some guys restless. So over the past two years, there had never been a shortage of boys trying to strike up a conversation with Xu Yin—yet not one had ever succeeded.

Until today.

—Xu Yin let a man put his arm around him!

He had a boyfriend now!

Many people immediately started sizing up Yan Shixiu in secret, clicking their tongues in astonishment.

He had to be at least 1.85 meters tall, tall and slender, broad shoulders and narrow waist. His features were somewhat indifferent and sharp—but just like Xu Yin, he was breathtakingly good-looking.

Looking closer… some students were shocked.

Although Yan Shixiu was a businessman, because of his net worth and his looks, he had a high level of fame among young people. Even in the dim light of night, some students were still able to recognize him and began whispering in disbelief to those nearby.

Xu Yin could naturally feel the surrounding stares and murmurs.

In fact, when Yan Shixiu first said he would come pick him up at the dorm, Xu Yin had already warned him.

This guy might not be a celebrity who got recognized everywhere he went, but he was only slightly better off than that—after all, even just appearing on a finance show would attract fans who worshipped his looks.

But Yan Shixiu seemed to completely ignore his warning and still insisted, “I’ll come pick you up at the dorm.”

Xu Yin had already sensed something from that.

At this moment, he turned to glance at the man beside him, who had swept his gaze around the crowd and pulled Xu Yin closer, his grip full of both warning and declaration.

Xu Yin lowered his head and chuckled softly.

The surrounding people: Damn, when have we ever seen Xu Yin smile so sweetly—he’s seriously in love aaaaaaah!!!

Xu Yin sighed helplessly, then smiled and waved at his dumbfounded roommates upstairs. “Let’s go.”

Yan Shixiu: “Mm.”

As they turned to leave, Yan Shixiu’s gaze lightly swept across the nearby crowd.

Among them, a male student was eyeing him with jealousy… But when Yan Shixiu turned his head slightly and their eyes met—those deep black eyes—the boy was startled, quickly stepping back, hiding behind the other students, his mind racing…

That man—wasn’t he the one who had been accidentally bumped and splashed with alcohol when he tried to hit on Xu Yin at the bar?

—The one wearing that clearly expensive suit, obviously someone important!

His heart was pounding wildly. Hearing the whispers around him, he hurriedly grabbed a student and asked in a low voice, “Do you know who that guy is?”

“I think he’s Yan Shixiu,” the student replied, “the CEO of Shixing Group. He’s super famous. My sister fangirls over him all the time. I didn’t think he’d show up here, and with Xu Yin…”

The boy was dumbfounded.

Of course he’d heard of Yan Shixiu—the CEO of Shixing Group! Of course he knew!

But he never knew what Yan Shixiu looked like!

Wait—that man is Yan Shixiu?!

Xu Yin is actually dating Yan Shixiu?!

The boy’s face immediately turned green—he had originally been planning to try submitting a resume to Shixing Group after graduation!

But now, he realized he had harassed Yan Shixiu’s current boyfriend right in front of him back then!!!

Now recalling the look Yan Shixiu gave him before turning away… the boy shivered hard, swallowed nervously, and instantly gave up all thoughts of pursuing Xu Yin again—let alone being jealous. What could he even be jealous of when it came to Yan Shixiu?

He was so scared he wished he had never appeared in Yan Shixiu’s line of sight at all and rushed into the dorm building!

Meanwhile, in the dorm room upstairs, the two roommates turned to look stiffly at Lu Shixing, whose face was unreadable.

Lu Shixing: “Next time Xu Yin comes back, remember to call him ‘sister-in-law’ with me.”

That tone—was pure schadenfreude.

Roommates: “…………”

What the hell just happened aaaaaaaaaah!!!

*

After leaving the dorm area and walking onto the main street, Xu Yin finally couldn’t help but laugh.

“What exactly were you thinking?”

The two of them got into the car. Yan Shixiu paused for a moment before saying, “Shixing told me there were a lot of boys at school who’ve tried to pursue you.”

“I figured it was because of that,” Xu Yin chuckled.

He had already guessed this wouldn’t be let go so easily.

Yan Shixiu said gloomily, “The first time we met at the bar, there was also a guy hitting on you…”

One incident after another—he remembered them all clearly.

Xu Yin sighed inwardly but also found this man terribly adorable.

Thinking it over, he smiled and said, “Do you know why so many people know that I like men?”

Yan Shixiu buckled his seatbelt and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Xu Yin reached out, touched the man’s face, and smiled brightly. “Because I don’t like causing unnecessary misunderstandings. So whenever a girl confessed to me, I made it clear—I like men.”

Yan Shixiu’s face instantly fell.

Apparently, his focus had landed on: Not only guys—even so many girls like you?!

Xu Yin couldn’t hold back his laughter and said gently, “So it’s the same now. Even if you hadn’t come to the dorm, just to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, if any guy comes looking for me again, I’ll tell them directly—I have a boyfriend.”

Yan Shixiu’s expression steadied.

Xu Yin bent his fingers, the back of his hand gently brushing against Yan Shixiu’s cheek, sliding to his ear…

Yan Shixiu’s eyes darkened.

Xu Yin pinched his cheek and said, “A very adorable boyfriend, one I absolutely love.”

The corners of Yan Shixiu’s lips instantly lifted into a smile.

He pulled Xu Yin’s head in, turned his face, and gave him a gentle kiss.

Coaxing his man always felt so satisfying and fulfilling.

Xu Yin thought with narrowed eyes.

After a while, the kiss ended. Yan Shixiu rested his forehead against Xu Yin’s and softly said, “I’ll also tell everyone that I have a boyfriend—a boyfriend I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

Xu Yin gave him another kiss and smiled. “You’re getting better and better at saying sweet things.”

The man’s eyes sparkled.

In the way he looked at Xu Yin with total focus, it was as if no one else existed in the world.

It had to be said, this kind of attention gave Xu Yin immense satisfaction.

He recalled that Little 018 had once said—Yan Shixiu looked at him like a sunflower looked at the sun…

He might not necessarily be the sun, but this man was definitely that vibrant sunflower—full of energy, bringing strength to others.

Absolutely adorable.

Xu Yin patted the back of the man’s head, eyes narrowing. He even thought there was no need to go to the restaurant anymore—they could just head to that apartment instead.

Compared to dinner, right now, he probably wanted to eat something else…

But well…

One thing at a time.

Yan Shixiu obediently started the car. Xu Yin leaned back in the seat, smiling contentedly.

***

Their art academy was located near a scenic area, where there were many upscale restaurants.

Coincidentally, Yan Shixiu had a friend who ran a Western restaurant nearby, so the two of them headed there.

Yan Shixiu’s friend was around the same age as him, with a little goatee that gave him an artsy vibe.

When he saw Xu Yin, his gaze was very… meaningful.

He chatted with them for a while, and when Yan Shixiu stepped out to take a phone call, he said, “The night Shixiu woke up, he sent us a message saying he had a boyfriend.”

Xu Yin was stunned.

“A few of us friends only found out he had woken up because of that message. Then we saw the contents and were all shocked,” the friend teased.

“We originally thought he’d end up growing old alone. Who knew, not only did he get into a relationship, he even announced it so boldly with a group message.”

“He probably just wants you to integrate into his social circle as soon as possible,” the friend whispered. “So, what do you think? Pretty cute, right?”

Xu Yin came back to his senses, then smiled and nodded.

He glanced again in the direction Yan Shixiu had just left.

Just earlier in the car, they were still discussing that topic, and yet over here, Yan Shixiu had already quietly announced it to the world.

This man always acted a step faster than he spoke.

The friend continued, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that he’s a few years older than you. When it comes to relationships, he’s basically a blank sheet. Might need you to be a little more patient with him.”

Xu Yin smiled softly and shook his head. “He’s great. There’s really nothing I need to tolerate about him. Most of the time, it’s actually him taking care of me.”

“Is that so?” The friend raised an eyebrow. “He may be older than you, but he seems super clingy. Don’t you find that annoying?”

Like right now—he was outside on a call but kept glancing back inside at them.

Of course, it wasn’t because he was worried his friend would try to hit on Xu Yin, but simply because… he was used to it—used to always keeping his eyes on his lover.

Xu Yin curled his lips and said, “It’s not annoying.”

“It’s sweet,” he added with a bright smile.

The friend blinked, then let out a sudden laugh. “That’s good. I was actually worried that once this wooden block started dating, he’d be clingy and overbearing and end up annoying someone.”

Looks like their relationship really was great.

Now he could rest assured.

When Yan Shixiu returned from his call, he saw his friend winking at him and looked slightly confused.

The friend teased, “I won’t be the third wheel—enjoy your meal.”

After he left, Yan Shixiu asked, “What were you two talking about?”

“We were talking about how sweet you are,” Xu Yin replied playfully.

Yan Shixiu: “?”

***

After dinner, the two of them went to look at home appliances.

Xu Yin didn’t have many requirements in this area—so long as it was functional, that was enough. Most of the time, it was Yan Shixiu making the selections.

Of course, most of Yan Shixiu’s attention was clearly focused on the bed. He was seriously inspecting every option, looking left and right. When he turned around and saw Xu Yin watching him with an amused smirk, the tips of his ears quietly turned red.

Even if his ears turned red, he still needed to pick the right one carefully.

After leaving the store, they strolled hand in hand along the lake by the scenic area.

At one moment, when they passed by a jogger, the two looked at each other—

The next second, they both took off running.

After running for a while, they stopped, laughing together.

Straightening up and taking a deep breath, Xu Yin said, “A habit nurtured over five hundred years might be hard to break.”

In so many different worlds, whenever conditions allowed, Xu Yin would always complete some basic exercises to earn points.

That habit had stuck with him. During those days in the hospital when he couldn’t move, he’d felt strange and uneasy.

“Exercise is good for the body—018 said so,” Yan Shixiu said seriously.

“Mm,” Xu Yin nodded, then added, “I wonder what Little 018 is doing now.”

“Maybe it’s already found another host,” Yan Shixiu said, patting Xu Yin’s head.

Yeah.

They had returned to the real world, and 018’s mission had come to an end. It probably wouldn’t become busy again until it met its next host.

They now existed in two different times and spaces, but both continued to move forward.

Of course, that strange journey they’d shared would always be engraved in their hearts, influencing them even now.

Whenever Xu Yin saw a stray kitten climbing a tree by the road, he would instinctively look up, estimating the distance between the ground and the branches—but more often than not, the kitten would climb back down confidently on its own and elegantly slip into the nearby grass with its tail raised.

Whenever he saw a little black dog, he’d instinctively look at its belly to see if it had a patch of white. But in the end, he’d always end up sighing and shaking his head with a smile. That dog, who had stayed with them for so long, belonged to the mission world.

When he passed through narrow alleys, he would unconsciously listen for movement inside, always feeling like he might hear sounds of fighting. But the truth was, the alleys were quiet—no one inside at all.

When he crossed the canal, he would glance at the shimmering water’s surface, grateful that there were no more drunken fools in there anymore.

Everything had passed.

And yet, everything still lingered in his heart.

He had to admit—sometimes, Xu Yin really did miss those days.

Fortunately, his lover remembered that strange journey just as clearly as he did.

They shared a secret that belonged only to the two of them, a bond of understanding that was one of a kind…

As they passed by a small flower stall, Yan Shixiu let go of his hand and walked over.

Xu Yin stood where he was, arms crossed, watching the man select flowers with a smile on his face.

The cool autumn breeze rustled through the trees, the leaves brushing and swaying, creating a soft rustle-rustle sound.

For a moment, a flash of pink drifted through the air.

As Xu Yin reached out his hand, a pink flower landed gently in his palm.

He didn’t know where the flower had come from, but right now, it quietly bloomed in his hand.

At the same time, the man returned and stood before him.

Xu Yin looked up.

In the man’s hands was a pot of jasmine flowers.

Xu Yin laughed. “That’s a huge pot.”

“It can go by the apartment window,” Yan Shixiu said, his gaze dropping to the pink flower in Xu Yin’s palm. He smiled. “Will you give this flower to me?”

The smile at Xu Yin’s lips deepened.

The scene from that night in the first world seemed to play vividly before his eyes.

The man said gently, “I want it.”

“But this time, I don’t just want this flower.”

What he wanted was forever—forever with this young man.

Xu Yin stepped forward, took the pot of jasmine flowers, and then placed the pink flower into the man’s palm.

He held Yan Shixiu’s wrist gently and said in a soft voice, “Shixiu, let’s go back to the apartment.”

“The cleaning’s already done, only the furniture hasn’t been replaced yet,” Xu Yin smiled. “The bed may be a bit small, but it’s fine. Let’s go home together.”

*

Xu Yin loved the way Yan Shixiu held him tightly.

Because in that embrace, he could absorb the warmth from his lover’s entire body, inhale that comforting scent of his.

That warmth always made him melt, and that familiar scent was something that gave him incomparable peace.

He loved the focus and passion in Yan Shixiu’s kisses.

Because they made his own heart burn, as if his whole being was soaking in a pool of warm water.

He loved Yan Shixiu’s restraint—and his lack of restraint. Loved those deep, dark eyes, loved his low and husky voice, his jawline, his Adam’s apple, his collarbones, and everything else…

It was strange—clearly it had been over five hundred years—but even now, Xu Yin still never tired of that intimacy with this man.

After everything was over, he was exhausted, but also thoroughly content.

He closed his eyes halfway, letting the man gently kiss his forehead, his nose, and the corners of his lips, slowly drifting into sleep.

Strangely, he dreamed of the night he and Yan Shixiu first met at the bar.

He dreamed of the guy who had followed him there and started harassing him, how the guy was angered by his words and swung his arm to strike—only to accidentally knock over a stranger’s drink, spilling it on the stranger’s friend.

That friend was incredibly handsome, frowning as he looked down at the stain on his shirt.

The guy apologized, the stranger muttered in frustration, tugging his friend to leave.

But before they left, the handsome friend paused and looked at Xu Yin, his gaze asking: Do you need help?

This time, looking at that handsome man, Xu Yin opened his mouth.

He smiled and said, “Can you walk me home, sir?”

The handsome man was momentarily stunned, then softly said, “Mm.”

Under the dim bar lights, the tips of his ears turned faintly red.

Xu Yin also dreamed of the day Zheng Ruo called him to the hospital.

He walked into the hospital room, and his father—already at the end of his life—glanced at him, then turned to look out the window.

After Xu Yin sat down, he didn’t lower his gaze, but instead seriously studied his father’s face.

He kept looking, and looking—until his father could no longer pretend not to notice, frowning as he turned his head.

Xu Yin met his gaze calmly, quietly tracing the lines of this man’s face with his eyes one last time, then stood up.

In his heart, he slowly drew a period to mark the end of his past.

He went straight up to the rooftop and waited for the handsome gentleman.

After a brief moment of surprise, the handsome gentleman walked over to his side. He remained silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to begin this conversation.

But this time, it was Xu Yin who spoke first. Smiling, he said, “My name is Xu Yin—Yin as in ‘music.’ I’m twenty years old, a sophomore, majoring in design, and my dream is to become a fashion designer.”

The handsome gentleman looked at him, listening to his words, and a gentle smile gradually surfaced in his dark eyes.

“My name is Yan Shixiu—Yan as in ‘speech,’ Shi as in ‘time,’ and Xiu as in ‘cultivation.’”

The handsome gentleman said softly, “I feel like I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

Xu Yin’s eyes were filled with a smile.

The handsome gentleman asked in a low voice, “Next time, can I ask you out?”

Xu Yin chuckled lightly, “Sure. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do—I’m good with all of it.”

A pause—then they moved forward again.

The past was laid to rest in their hearts; the future was the final stretch of a precious journey that belonged to them.

He wanted to walk that road—with this man—together.
