After Qin He dealt with those two people, they hardly appeared in front of the two again.
“Tsk, your collar is tucked inside; let me pull it out for you.”
With a warm fingertip, it brushed over Qin He’s neck. Qin He was sensitive to the cold, perhaps because of malnutrition when he was young; he always turned red from being frozen.
Going outside for even a short while would make his hands cold, and it would take a while for him to write properly. He needed to hunch his neck to absorb a bit of warmth.
The sudden warmth caused Qin He to shudder.
Qin He waved his hand and furrowed his brow, saying, “Just pull the collar properly; don’t play tricks on me.”
As if anticipating his response, Yu Cheng casually took the scarf from the table.
“Fine, take this; it’s my apology gift to you; consider it compensation for my mistake.”
Yucheng is a really awkward person when it comes to giving gifts. He always has to provoke someone to get the chance to give something.
Maybe it’s because Qin He is one of the few friends that Yucheng has, and they always stick together.
So Qin He is treated with special care, which means that Yucheng follows him wherever he goes and shares everything with him. He is especially concerned about Qin He’s well-being.
But when intimacy between people crosses a certain boundary, who can really say what is mixed in between?
Yucheng seems to have thought of something and hurriedly approached Qin He.
“What’s your birthday? Has it passed already? If not, I can take care of everything for you and make sure it’s unforgettable.”
“That might be a disappointment for you. My birthday is on Chinese New Year’s Day,” replied Qin He, arching his eyebrows.
It’s a time when most people gather with their families, especially for someone like Yu Cheng, who comes from a busy household with lots of things going on.
Without surprise, Qin He saw Yu Cheng reach for his hair in frustration but miss, then go to pick at his nails, only to have Qin He slapped his hand down.
“What a bad habit. That’s fine, Young Master Yu. You don’t need to trouble yourself with this kind of thing.”
“Then you don’t have to worry about it. This young master will definitely attend the birthday party.”
After some consideration, Yu Cheng gave a response, while Qin He packed his things, apparently not taking this matter to heart.
“Friend, don’t you have anything to do?”
This was the third time Qin He had received a call from Yu Cheng. He thought he could have some peace and quiet after leaving school.
Unexpectedly, Yu Cheng became even more ubiquitous. When Qin He didn’t reply to his message while chopping vegetables, he called him.
Qin He wiped his hand on his apron and leaned against the counter.
“Qin He! Do you think I’m annoying you? I’m just trying to maintain our valuable friendship! It seems that I don’t have to maintain it anymore; it’s already in jeopardy!!! It’s hopeless!!!”
“But don’t you think this level of contact is a bit too much? Too much of a good thing is bad, you know?” Qin He rubbed his ear and started talking when he heard no sound on the other end.
“Forget it. You think I’m annoying you. I won’t contact you again.”
With a snap, Yu Cheng hung up the phone and threw his phone on the bed.
After a while, he sneaked a look to see if there were any messages. They both stood their ground for twenty minutes, and then the phone rang.
“Hello sir, do you want to buy a house? The location is excellent, with good security…”
“I know I was wrong…”
The two were silent for a moment. Yu Cheng hung up the phone instantly. This time, he was really angry.
Until the Chinese New Year, the two of them did not contact each other. At first, Yu Cheng was angry and didn’t want to initiate contact.
Later, they were both really busy. Yu Cheng wanted to prepare a birthday gift for Qin He and thought about going to choose it himself. But after a long time of searching, he couldn’t find anything satisfactory.
Anything too delicate or too small didn’t work, and anything too common wasn’t good enough in Yu Cheng’s eyes. He felt that Qin He deserved only the best.
Yu Cheng went to many stores and even asked his brother for advice. In the end, his brother only gave him one sentence: “It’s a difficult situation.”
For the first time, the young master of the Yu family realised that he didn’t have anything impressive to give as a gift.
In addition, he had to attend various banquets of all sizes, was busy dealing with all kinds of relatives, and suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.
In the social circle, various people called and messaged him, causing Yu Cheng not to want to touch his phone for a long time. Although he didn’t want to deal with it, he still had to do what he needed to do.
During the first two days, Qin He felt that the world had finally become quiet. But later on, he would always hold his phone and stare at it absentmindedly, and was even teased by Qin Wanqing if he had found a girlfriend.
“Xiao He, is there anything you want for your birthday this year?”
Qin Wanqing felt a bit guilty about her son.
She always felt that she didn’t do well enough and made Qin He worry about this and that. The little child was like an adult who went to share her worries. She rarely saw Qin He smile and always wanted to do her best to compensate.
Qin He curled his mouth and responded to the person. However, his hand still didn’t dare let go, afraid that the person would fall later.
Sure enough, as expected, Lu Ran slipped and was about to fall but was caught by Qin He.
Before the person could stand firmly, Qin He was pulled away by a huge force. Lu Ran fell to the ground as expected, grimacing in pain.
Qin He didn’t have time to see who it was, and just wanted to quickly help Lu Ran up.
Just as Qin He walked forward two steps before being pulled back by Yu Cheng. Qin He turned his head and saw that Yu Cheng was somewhat angry. “What are you doing?”
“What are you doing again? I said you find my phone calls annoying, but it turns out you were too busy with the little girl. You haven’t been in touch with me because of her, right? Did I disturb your peace after I messaged you, and now you’re too happy to think of anything else?”
He had been holding back, but this question ignited his anger. He gritted his teeth and let out a cold sneer.
“Well, I was the one who begged you to be friends in the first place. What kind of thing am I?”
He kicked the nearby tree, causing the branches to sway and the snow to fall in scattered pieces.
The snow melted silently on the ground, and only the trembling tree displayed the anger of Yu Cheng.
If Qin He looked closely at this time and might have noticed a hint of red in Yu Cheng’s eyes, which seemed a bit aggrieved.
“What’s wrong with you? How have I offended you? It’s because you didn’t message me first. Didn’t I tell you before that I didn’t mind? Can’t you understand human language?”
