Chapter 15: First World: Weasel slipped in through the window

As the sun set in the game horizon with NPCs doing as they should, Wen Qinxi was busy celebrating as he no longer had to slave everyday cooking for Qie Ranzhe and his gang. He might have been okay in the kitchen but that didn't mean he liked it. Like any lazy bachelor he was fed up, tired of dealing with smoky charcoal fires everyday.

Five days ago, he had introduced the group of boys to the kind-hearted cooks who would be bringing them food each and every day. To top it all off, they would receive pre-packed breakfast for the next day so they didn't have to rely on one meal a day. He had to give it to Master Lin, the man was efficient in everything he did.

Because of the new arrangement, he hadn't seen Qie Ranzhe for five days straight which he was perfectly fine with. The agreement was to provide his boys with food not the method of delivery. All he knew was that he was on the right track, a fed Qie Ranzhe would blacken less than a starved one, right?

What he didn't know was that in those five days someone else was discontented with the new arrangement not for others but for himself. The food just didn't taste the same as though something was missing but Machu couldn't understand what Qie Ranzhe meant.

"Ran-ge the food is great and we even get breakfast now, l don't understand why you seem dissatisfied. I say, it even tastes better than what Lin Jingxie made, the chef is definitely an upgrade bu-," said Machu before he was suddenly interrupted.

"Did he come today?" he asked leisurely fiddling with his food with no appetite whatsoever.

Machu creased his brows wondering why Qie Ranzhe even cared whether Lin Jingxie came or not. He had to admit, the scumbag had come through instantly improving their quality of life. They now had one less thing to worry about.

Lin Jingxie had gone as far as passing over medicine for Xie Ruen which was something he only thought would ever happen when pigs fly but there were no piggies in the sky.

"No he didn't come," replied Machu still mauling over it.

"Have you seen him lately?" he asked again with his head down still messing around with his food.

The second question was like a moment of epiphany for Machu, he now understood why Qie Ranzhe was asking all these questions. "Oh now l see, you are worried Lin Jingxie is upto no good." lt finally made a whole lot of sense now.

Qie Ranzhe finally raised his head pursing his lips before saying, "Yes, l am worried about that," but he himself wasn't even sure of the reason why and didn't want to continue mauling over it.

"Send someone to watch him and report back to me every single day," he said tossing the bowl aside before lying down on his mat with a brooding countenance.

Wen Qinxi had enjoyed a ten day vacation, free of the overbearing boss. In those ten days he had a lot of fun, if he wasn't messing around with Lin Mingxu doing weird shit, he would be hanging out with Jolie, Xia Bai and Hei Bao.

Time really moved fast in the game though he had only gone through two days in the real world. Tonight they were playing online mahjong with the three of them losing money to Jolie who didn't even have use for money.

'Fuck! Jolie you don't even need the money. Damnit, you cleaned out my lunch money for the entire month,' complained a broke Hei Bao.

'Whats your problem l need the money,' said Jolie looking to start a new round.

'What the fuck for? I don't want to play anymore,' said Xia Bai throwing the towel. He even suspected the cunning system for cheating.

'I have transferred it all to boss Wen,' said an all excited system. As though the money transfer wasn't shocking enough, the form of address made Wen Qinxi's skin crawl with goosebumps forming all over.

'Boss Wen? What the fuck? Jolie l don't want your money you probably want to ask for some weird shit,' complained Wen Qinxi getting ready to sign out.

'Hear me out boss. When you are done with the game l need you to make a companion system for me to hang out with. Its so fuckin boring looking at NPCs all day,' said the system in a serious tone.

The three men burst out laughing but Jolie wasn't deterred as it kept on trying to convince Wen Qinxi.

A loud bang suddenly had Wen Qinxi open his eyes ending that abrupt laughter. "Sorry guys l think l have sly weasel trying to sneak in. Signing off,' he said thinking it was Lin Mingxu.

He had carefully bolted the door otherwise Lin Mingxu would interrupt him but he didn't think the brat would use the window. "Mingxu what the fuck you doing!" he yelled squinting his eyes unable to make out the figure in the shadows.

"Shh it's me," said a low magnetic voice he was ever so familiar with.

Wen Qinxi slightly shivered in shook but quickly recovered before yelling at him. "Fuck! Qie Ranzhe what do you think you are doing?" he said in a loud whisper that attracted a certain over-protective brother's attention. In no time Lin Mingxu was softly knocking at his brother's door.

"Ge, is everything okay?" said Lin Min6g in a loud voice that could wake up even the dead.

Wen Qinxi gestured for Qie Ranzhe to be quiet otherwise Lin Mingxu would throw a fit attracting Master Lin's attention which he absolutely didn't want to happen. He went to the door and quickly slid out before closing it behind him, giving the little weasel no chance to slip in.

"l am fine just had a nightmare. Go back to sleep, l am fine," said Wen Qinxi trying to get rid of him as soon as possible but Lin Mingxu was curiously trying to peek into his room.

"l heard you yell Qie Ranzhe's name, was he in your nightmare?"

"Y-yes, haha terrible nightmare. His ugly ass face just showed up right in front of me giving me a fright," he said fully aware that Qie Ranzhe could hear him.

"Oh...do you want me to stay? We can have a midnight snack, it will help you get over your nightmare," genuinely suggested Lin Mingxu but Wen Qinxi refused. He only managed to get rid of him by suggesting they have a midnight snack tomorrow.

Wen Qinxi walked back in the room only to find Qie Ranzhe standing with his arms folded across his chest all nonchalant. "Ugly ass face? Seriously?" he said pointing at his perfectly sculptured face.

"Say whatever you came here to say and get the hell out. I want to sleep," he said lying back in bed trying to figure what possessed this guy to pull of such a stunt. He hadn't seen Qie Ranzhe in a while and couldn't help but wonder what demands he had now.

Qie Ranzhe followed Lin Jingxie's figure with his eyes doubting if he made the right decision coming here. He had manage to hold off for ten days relying on daily updates but soon that wasn't enough, he wanted to see him in person.

Why did Qie Ranzhe feel the need to see him? Even he couldn't answer that, all he knew is that he felt an inexplicable itch within which worsened each day but suddenly felt relief as soon as he laid eyes on him.

He suddenly lunged onto the bed right next to him but his move wasn't welcomed with Lin Jingxie lifting his foot to kick him off. Qie Ranzhe's reflexes were exceptionally good as he caught Lin Jingxie's foot escalating this to a playful tussle.

"Qie Ranzhe you dumbfuck!" yelled Wen Qinxi trying to push him off but suddenly lost all strength when the bastard decided to play dirty. Qie Ranzhe had accidentally found his tickle spot on either side of Wen Qinxi's abdomen tickling him till the guy was in tears laughing.

Qie Ranzhe couldn't even understand what he was doing playing with Lin Jingxie when they obviously had a dark history but in this moment it felt good and so he continued. Satified he pinned down Lin Jingxie firmly holding down both his wrists.

Wen Qinxi's laughter gradually died down looking up at a stern Qie Ranzhe. "Fuck off!" he said trying to free his wrist.

"Why did you stop bringing me food?" he asked a question he obviously knew the answer too.

"Is that why you fuckin broke into my room? Qie Ranzhe what more to do want? Haven't l done plenty?" said Wen Qinxi firing a bunch of questions one after the other.

"I want you to bring me food every day," said a thick-skinned Qie Ranzhe still pinning him down.

Now looking down on Lin Jingxie, he could clearly see his handsome features that he had never noticed before. The more he looked the more bewitched he was by his looks only snapping out of it when Lin Jingxie struggled a bit more.

"I won't let go till you say yes," he said nervously smiling hoping Lin Jingxie would fall for his bluff.

"Fuck no!" replied Wen Qinxi as he stopped struggling vowing to go to the gym as soon as he was done with this nonsense.

"Fine, then we can be like this all night. I bet your little brother would faint walking in on such a scene," said Qie Ranzhe with an ominous grin.

'Are you shitting me, Qie Ranzhe is fuckin crazy! No wonder he got dumped,' he thought glaring at him. "Fine l will bring you food every day now get the fuck off me!"

A delighted Qie Ranzhe let him go lying down right next to him with their heads close together while chuckling for some reason.

'If you weren't my boss l would have had you committed in a mental institution,' thought Wen Qinxi sitting up straight.

"You can show yourself out through the same way you came in," said Wen Qinxi in a domineering tone that was unfortunately ineffective on Qie Ranzhe.

Qie Ranzhe gazed at him saying, "Your bed is so comfortable," before getting even more cosy covering himself with the quilt.

"Qie Ranzhe, l am not messing around. Get out," he said as he got off the bed and tried to drag him off pulling his leg but the guy wouldn't budge. It was pointless trying like lifting dead weight.

"Fuck!" said an exhausted Wen Qinxi with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Let me stay for one night, l have never slept on a comfortable bed before," pled Qie Ranzhe with his eyes shut looking as pitiful as ever.

Faced with those words, Wen Qinxi wasn't heartless enough to kick him out. After contemplating for a while, he removed the guy's brocade boots before sleeping on the other side. Thus the two boys shared a bed for the entire night, a first of many sleepover.
