Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 115: ... me and bae having lunch together...

Qie Xieling ruffled his hair in annoyance as he sat up. "I am going home," he said and Bo Ailun looked at him a little confused.

"Don’t you have classes this afternoon?" he asked while tossing the wrapping paper from his lunch in the trash.

Qie Xieling put on the straps of his satchel while saying, "They are all electives. I will go study instead."

Bo Ailun’s eyes narrowed scrutinising him. This was unlike Qie Xieling. He didn’t skip classes even when he was feeling a little under the weather.

"Which home? If it’s your condo can I come with?" asked Bo Ailun only for Qie Xieling to shake his head.

"I am going home home. It’s been a while since I have rained on my parent’s parade. They have had the house to themselves for too long," he said and he was serious. Since he was single and had no one else to bother apart from Bo Ailun he had tendencies of going home to vy for his dad’s attention annoying the hell out of his father.

"Wait," said Lee Ya while getting up hastily. She stood in front of him while continuing, "I heard you got yourself a Panigale. Can I take a picture sitting behind you?" her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She had always been fascinated by Qie Xieling but ever since he got that motorcycle her fascination upgraded to a newfound obsession. It seemed he had triggered his docile bad boy vibes ever since he stepped on campus. Every day there was this and that girl pining over this new junior with a black and green motorcycle. She had to take advantage of this and knowing his personality he wouldn’t refuse.

Bo Ailun raised his brow watching this romantic K-drama scene play out. Handsome boy and beautiful girl on a motorcycle together, wouldn’t that spark rumours? This naive friend of his didn’t see a problem with it.

"Sure but hurry up," he said holding out his helmet for her to put it on.

Lee Ya refused saying, "It won’t be necessary. Yu-Jie, hurry up let’s go."

Qie Xieling had parked the bike behind the main building of the faculty where there was less traffic as people rarely came there.

Bo Ailun followed after them and he caught up with Qie Xieling while sucking on his straw and drinking iced tea. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"You know if she posts that people will think you two are dating, right?" asked Bo Ailun while the girls were rushing ahead.

Qie Xieling draped his arm around Bo Ailun and pulled him closer before taking a selfie together.

"You know there are people saying that we are dating? Wait until I post this," said Qie Xieling while typing a caption at light speed.

Bo Ailun’s eyes widened before trying to snatch the cell phone from him. "You bastard, is that why that tall girl blocked me?" yelled Bo Ailun while jumping up and down trying to grab that cell phone out of his hand.

Qie Xieling raised his hand higher while saying, "No, that might have something to do with your height not the rumours. Look what I wrote. I wrote me and bae having lunch together haha oh, look we already have a hundred likes. They are blessing us," he said with a gleeful laugh.

Bo Ailun’s face looked constipated. It was over, he was going to be roommates with Qie Xieling for the rest of his life and die as two loveless losers.

Qie Xieling ruffled Bo Ailun’s hair while saying, "I was joking. Look," before giving him the cell phone.

Bo Ailun heaved a sigh when he realised Qie Xieling hadn’t posted anything. "Don’t scare me like that. You know how hard it is for me to date," he complained giving back the cell phone.

"Says the guy who has had three girlfriends," said Qie Xieling and Bo Ailun refuted.

"Two of them were online. That doesn’t count because we never met."

While bickering they reached the parking bay and found Lee Ya already having a mini photoshoot near his motorcycle. She looked like a model in car magazines.

Qie Xieling put on his leather jacket and sat down. An eager Lee Ya climbed behind him but didn’t dare wrap her arms around his waist.

If she did that without his consent he might go off and never let her do this again. She took a couple of pictures changing up her hair her pose rather ambiguous.

Qie Xieling wasn’t looking at the camera, he was texting on his cell phone asking where his dad was.

Qie Xieling put away his cell phone and started the motorcycle. He revved the engine, the sound deafening.

Lee Ya’s heart jumped, but the thrill of being on the back of his motorcycle was worth it. She got off and Qie Xieling said to Bo Ailun, "Let’s play games when you get home."

Bo Ailun nodded his head as he turned to leave. Qie Xieling waved at the girls before riding off, leaving them breathless and wanting more.

As he rode through the campus, people couldn’t help but stare in admiration. He looked so cool and confident, his motorcycle gleaming in the sunlight. He was the epitome of cool, and they couldn’t help but be drawn to him like moths to a flame.

When Qie Xieling arrived home it was already around three pm. He had stopped to get some groceries and his dad’s favourite energy drink.

By the time his parents got home, he was sitting reclining on their couch while watching an animated movie by himself.

Qie Ranzhe was the first to enter and when he saw his son sitting there he quickly shut the door before whispering, "He is back? Did you know he was coming?"

Wen Qinxi, "..."

"He is your son so why should he tell you in advance when he comes home?" He replied while pushing the door open.

Qie Ranzhe held his arm stopping him from leaving while saying, "He comes home too often. How will he make new friends and experience life if he keeps coming back?" Translation, I want to have the house to ourselves and do whatever we want on the couch, in the kitchen and walk around nude.

Wen Qinxi knew what he was on about but they couldn’t just bar Qie Xieling from coming home. It sounded ridiculous.

The door was suddenly opened wider and Qie Xieling took his dad’s bag while asking, "What are you two talking about at the door? Get inside."

Qie Ranzhe, "..."

He knew then that he stood no chance. He was going to be the light bulb.
