Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 125: "You are never an inconvenience to me."

"I am going to be late... fuck, why didn’t you wake me up?" yelled Qie Xieling running around packing his stuff.

Luo Muchen was quite useful. Qie Xieling didn’t have to say what he wanted because Luo Muchen would hand it to him. Luo Muchen picked out Qie Xieling’s clothes, his shoes, made him breakfast etc. In essence, he prepared everything for Qie Xieling apart from packing his stuff because he didn’t know what he would take with him to class.

Qie Xieling didn’t even realise his overreliance on Luo Muchen and how their interaction was almost like them playing house.

"It really looks good but I can’t eat. I will be late," said Qie Xieling while picking up his motorcycle keys.

Luo Muchen already knew that. He familiarly opened a bottom cupboard and took out a lunch box before placing the scallion egg wrap in it. "I will drop you off and pick you up after you are done," said Luo Muchen and Qie Xieling who was picking up his school bag was a little surprised.

"Really? Won’t I inconvenience you? You must have a lot of things to do since you haven’t been here for two years."

Luo Muchen poured out the cappuccino he made for Qie Xieling into his flask while saying, "You are never an inconvenience to me," and Qie Xieling’s heart jolted hearing that.

’Damn, who says that with such a deep alluring voice and a soft yet intense gaze?’ he thought tearing his gaze away. If Qie Xieling’s heart wasn’t stirred then he wasn’t human.

"You can eat this in the car. Let’s go," said Luo Muchen holding the lunchbox and flask in hand as he walked towards the elevator.

"Oh," replied Qie Xieling his mind in a daze. The two of them entered the elevator one after the other and Qie Xieling turned to look at him wanting to say something but his voice got trapped in his throat.

Luo Muchen stood next to him, calmly watching the numbers of the floors tick by. Qie Xieling couldn’t help but admire him. Luo Muchen always seemed so calm and collected, even during the most hectic of times. He just seemed so put together and... perfect.

As the elevator continued its slow ascent, Qie Xieling felt a surge of gratitude flood through him. It seemed to him that Luo Muchen was the type of person he never knew he needed until he came back into his life. It was really nice having him around.

Luo Muchen had helped him pick out his clothes, made him breakfast, and even packed it for him when he couldn’t eat it. Qie Xieling suddenly felt that whoever Luo Muchen ended up with would be incredibly lucky.

When that thought crossed his mind, Qie Xieling felt a strange sensation in his chest. He tore his gaze away as the elevator reached the underground parking.

As the doors opened he stepped out, trying to shake off his thoughts. "Did you sleep well?" he asked while opening the car door.

Luo Muchen smiled at him, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I slept very well." It was probably the best sleep he had ever had the in the past two years. His head lowered he bit his lower lip recalling how last night the two of them cuddled in bed. There was nothing more blissful than that moment.

"Mmm, this is so good. You are amazing you know that," said Qie Xieling after taking a bite of the scallion egg pancake.

Luo Muchen showed a slight smile but didn’t say anything. As the car came to a halt at a red traffic light, Qie Xieling stretched out his hand and said, "Here, have a bite."

Luo Muchen glanced at him before eating from his hand. Qie Xieling took his hand back and finished off the scallion egg pancake Luo Muchen had bit through.

As the taste of the pancake spread into his mouth, Luo Muchen felt a surge of emotion. He had been struggling not to sell himself out but sometimes it felt impossible especially now after seeing him after a very long time. As though sensing his thoughts, Qie Xieling turned to look at him with a grin. He took out his cell phone and took a picture of the two of them. Because Luo Muchen was driving he couldn’t turn to look at him so Qie Xieling took his side profile.

"What was that for?" asked Luo Muchen with a slight quirk at the corner of his lips.

Qie Xieling smiled while zooming in on the picture. "Making memories. What? You don’t like it," he asked and Luo Muchen replied,

"I do like it. Just tag me when you post it."

As he said this he was slowly driving through campus after going through security. "Are you sure you want me to post it? Won’t that cause you trouble?" he asked and Luo Muchen replied,

"It’s fine. It won’t be a problem."

That was probably a lie but he wanted Qie Xieling to post a picture of the both of them. It would make him feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"Okay... I don’t have a class in the afternoon so how about you pick me up and we can go shopping. Bobo’s birthday is coming up and I need to buy him a gift."

Luo Muchen nodded as he pulled up to the curb. Qie Xieling took his lunchbox and flask with him as he got out of the car.

"Thanks for dropping me off. I reprogrammed the elevator at the condo so you can enter with ease. Bye, I will see you later," he said before waving goodbye and rushing into the department.

Luo Muchen didn’t even have time to respond. He thought he would type his journal article at a coffee shop or something but Qie Xieling gave him direct access to his condo without him even asking.

His heart was on the verge of imploding at this point. He felt both exhilarated and frustrated at the same time. He couldn’t contain himself anymore. Luo Muchen was starting to feel like if he continued hiding it he would die.

After calming down he drove off heading back to Qie Xieling’s place. As he drove into the underground parking a man wearing mirrored shades sitting in a utility van was watching him drive in with a complicated look on his face.

He pressed the dial button and a few seconds later someone picked up. "The target is back but he is staying with that Qie kid. How are you going to proceed?"

Leong Jinn stopped typing and grinned menacingly while replying, "That is none of your business. Do what I pay you to do."
