Chapter 100: This talking in code, he didn’t like it at all.

A few kilometres off the shores of the resort island there was an isolated abandoned cabin deep in the jungle. Inside a group of men lazied around in the smouldering heat.

Some were playing cards while others were watching things on their cell phones in the thick smog of cigarette smoke. A soft ringtone echoed in the boisterous room and they all took a glance at the man sleeping in a hammock.

The man pulled off the hat covering his face as he picked up the call. His croaky voice sounded and the room immediately fell silent.

The call was short but it left the man smiling revealing his tobacco-stained teeth. When he smiled the others got excited. They were about to make a lot of easy money, enough money that they could retire.

"We are going to get rich," said one of them and the others joined in cheering celebrating the easiest job they could ever have. It was to abduct one teenage boy for two million euros.

Meanwhile, their target was washing his hands in the bathroom when he heard the sound of something dragging across the carpet. He walked out of the bathroom and found that Qie Xieling was pushing together the separate twin beds.

Curious he asked, "What are you doing?"

Qie Xieling kept on pushing as he replied, "Stop standing there and help me."

Luo Muchen couldn’t hide the smile at the corner of his lips. He walked over and helped him push the beds together. Once the mission was accomplished.l Qie Xieling stretched his back seeming satisfied.

Luo Muchen pressed his lips into a thin line trying to hide his happiness. After putting away his emotions he asked, "Why are you putting them together?"

Qie Xieling fixed the quilt while saying, "We are having a movie night and Bo Ailun is coming too so we can’t separate the beds."

The beaming smile in Luo Muchen’s eyes chilled when he heard the second part. For once he wanted to be stubborn so he said, "He can’t sleep here. I don’t like people sleeping in my bed." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After saying this he honestly thought that he would win this battle. He was like a husband trying to stand up for himself and refute his wife but Qie Xieling was way ahead of him.

He shrugged his shoulders then said, "Fine, he will sleep in my bed then," before starting to pull the beds apart.

Before he could go far Luo Muchen interrupted him saying, "I can’t share a room with other people apart from you."

Qie Xieling seemed to have an answer for everything.

He let go of the bed and said, "Fine, then movie night will be at BoBo’s hotel room. If I fall asleep I will just sleep on BoBo’s bed."

Luo Muchen couldn’t help but admit defeat. He blocked Qie Xieling’s path and said, "Okay, we can have movie night here but... Ailun cant squeeze in with us. Look at it, this bed is so small."

Qie Xieling glanced at the bed and could see what he meant. Like him, Luo Muchen was used to sleeping in a huge bed alone so he could understand.

He immediately compromised and promised, "I will kick him out after the movie is finished. Happy now."

Luo Muchen was of course not happy. He honestly thought that movie night was for the two of them and now he had to carry a light bulb along decreasing his alone time with Qie Xieling so yes, he wasn’t happy.

Bo Ailun happened to knock on the door at this point and when Qie Xieling opened the door he excitedly entered with a plastic bag full of snacks.

But soon he realised that the atmosphere wasn’t right. It was as though he had entered the lair of a beast that was hiding in the shadows. He wanted to ask but their cell phones suddenly buzzed simultaneously and Bo Ailun’s face brightened.

"Time to eat dinner. Ugh, I can’t wait to have some spicy malatang. Let’s go stuff our faces," he said before placing the plastic bag on the dresser.

Luo Muchen glanced at that plastic bag with a sigh before he began to pack the things away. It was his secondary nature. He wouldn’t be at ease leaving things lying around.

Bo Ailun rushed out of the door to save good seats for them so Qie Xieling didn’t stop him. He just stood by the door yelling instructions at his disappearing figure.

Luo Muchen thought Qie Xieling had left him behind thus he packed the things away a little faster but the door suddenly opened again and Qie Xieling’s face reappeared.

Luo Muchen pursed his lips suppressing the smile threatening to show on his face. He felt all mushy inside and sweet.

As they walked down the corridor he said, "I thought you left me behind." Only people who knew Qie Xieling could understand why Luo Muchen was asking this question. Qie Xieling was a foodie more especially when it came to spicy food. When it came to food he didn’t mess around thus the fact that Qie Xieling waited for him said a lot.

If it was Bo Ailun left in the hotel room, Qie Xieling might not have waited for him in all honesty. "Why would I leave you behind? It’s a given that I will wait for you," he said and Luo Muchen’s steps faltered shot right through the heart by several of Cupid’s arrows. Yes, cupid had fired several arrows.

"Do you want me to carry you?" asked Luo Muchen and Qie Xieling despite wanting a piggyback ride refused. There were a lot of guests at the hotel and he would be very embarrassed.

Luo Muchen didn’t think he would refuse. He was just so happy spending the night with Qie Xieling that he couldn’t help but offer to express his excitement.

When they stepped into the elevator Qie Xieling was surprised to see Wei Qi and Ah Cy with the junior girl who had asked him to convey her feelings to Luo Muchen on her behalf.

When she saw the two of them walking into the elevator together she couldn’t help but lightly pat Ah Cy’s hand in excitement.

Luo Muchen who had a sharp eye noticed their movements at the corner of his eye. Qie Xieling sighed happily while playfully swaying his arms. "Isn’t it a lovely evening ladies?"

The junior sister at the corner lowered her head hiding her smile while Wei Qi answered, "Indeed, it is a good day to confess one’s feelings. Imagine confessing under the starry night. Who can reject someone under such a romantic night sky."

Qie Xieling turned back before teasing, "Uh sister Qi, I didn’t know you and BoBo are moving a step further in your relationship."

Wei Qi’s lips twitched and as the elevator doors opened, Qie Xieling said, "Ladies first."

Wei Qi walked out and gave him her middle finger.

Qie Xieling laughed out loud while scolding, "That’s unladylike." When he subconsciously turned to look at Luo Muchen he bumped into his chest and staggered backwards having missed his step.

"What was that about?" asked Luo Muchen visibly upset. This talking in code, he didn’t like it at all.

Qie Xieling, "..."

How was he supposed to tell this person that there was someone who was in this elevator who wanted to confess her feelings but couldn’t?
