Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 45: ... class president where are you touching."

Qie Xieling sighed before turning to press his ears against the door to listen for noises when Luo Muchen asked in a low whisper, "Why didn’t you reply to my message?"

Qie Xieling, "..."

"Really? Now? You chose to ask this now?" replied Qie Xieling in a low whisper but he was still able to express his shock from his tone.

"Yes. We haven’t seen each other for a long time and after we leave this space you will probably be running around causing trouble again," said Luo Muchen and Qie Xieling gasped dramatically like he was being accused wrongly.

"I would never... actually nope, I would. You are right. Let me see the message," he said as he checked through his pockets only to realise that his cell phone was with Bo Ailun. He had given it to him to use the torch and light up the set-up he was doing earlier.

When he realised this he showed a silly smile and stretched out his hand. "Class president, may I trouble you to borrow me your phone so I can see if this message was really something I should have replied to?"

Luo Muchen took his cell phone out at first and almost handed it to him but when he recalled the pictures of Qie Xieling that he had downloaded from across social media platforms he became quite hesitant.

Seeing this Qie Xieling’s eyes squinted with slight suspicion. What on earth was the class president hiding in his cell phone? Qie Xieling’s mind ran amock making up these crazy scenarios involving adult content, well, whatever that meant.

His dad said those words once while reprogramming his cell phone. He said that he would be barring adult content. Could somebody tell him what adult content was? Was it wrestling or was it gory horror films?

Thinking he could use this opportunity to finally unlock the true meaning of adult content, he put on an innocent face and said, "I won’t touch your phone. Just show me."

Luo Muchen relaxed his shoulders as he unlocked his cell phone to show him. The last message was from him and he was asking Qie Xieling what he was up to after the conversation about the flask ended.

Qie Xieling had opened it but just didn’t reply. Luo Muchen had finally experienced the pain of being left on read by someone he was excited to hear from.

"I got busy," he said but what had he been so busy with? Basking in the sun like a cat after waking up late, being fed by his dad and enduring his father’s nagging. His dad would defend him saying, "He is just a baby."

At night that’s when he would come alive like a vampire playing games without his parents knowing. That sounded like a very busy schedule.

Qie Xieling sighed dejectedly like he felt so bad and said, "I forgot. I am sorry," relaxing Luo Muchen’s vigilance. Luo Muchen was a little surprised that Qie Xieling would apologise to him.

For days he had been looking through his cell phone and constantly refreshing it hoping that Qie Xieling would respond to his message but each day he would end up feeling quite disappointed and depressed.

His mother had once mentioned not to be too desperate but damn he really wanted to blow up Qie Xieling’s cell phone with messages and calls.

He was suddenly struck by a wave of happiness but before it could reach its peak Qie Xieling grabbed his cell phone and like that one annoying nosy sibling he started going through it while scrolling to find anything that would be interesting enough.

Now, Luo Muchen always let Qie Xieling get away with anything but this time things were very different. He immediately tried to get it back and in his eyes was some kind of fear. Fear that his secret will be known to the one person he didn’t want to know.

The problem was that the more he struggled the more Qie Xieling wanted to see. He had his arched back towards Luo Muchen while flipping through it really fast and Luo Muchen tried to get his very best to grab his cell phone back.

"Ah... class president where are you touching," said Qie Xieling with a soft chuckle trying to get Luo Muchen to back off and it almost worked because Luo Muchen paused withdrawing for a moment.

But when he realised he was getting played the tussle started again. "Class president wait... I just want to see the good things on your phone. Mine is like Fort Knox... I can’t even download anything without my dad knowing," he said before turning the door handle and trying to run out.

But as soon as the door opened Qie Xieling almost bumped into Bo Ailun who came looking for him. In order not to bump into him he took a sharp dodge only for him to fall to the ground taking Luo Muchen with him.

"Ah fuck," he grimaced while trying to get up. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Luo Muchen no longer cared whether he had his cell phone or not. He was more worried about Qie Xieling thus with an anxious expression he began to check frantically if he was okay.

Qie Xieling pressed the cell phone on Luo Muchen’s chest and pushed him away while saying, "I am fine. Just get off me."

"Oh," replied Luo Muchen as he tried to get up. He was sort of lying on top of Qie Xieling with his arms propping him up on either side of Qie Xieling’s head. He could clearly see how this position was quite ambiguous.

He pursed his lips as he got up but before he could stretch out his hand to help Qie Xieling up Bo Ailun beat him to it. Bo Ailun helped Qie Xieling up and even dusted the back of his suit jacket and pants. The entire time Luo Muchen had on a watchful gaze but he couldn’t really do anything about it.

Unable to watch anymore he turned his gaze away while pressing his tongue against his cheek in annoyance. He locked his cell phone and put it away in his suit jacket pocket.

Again he was expecting to be the third wheel as always but this time it was a little different. Qie Xieling draped his arm around Luo Muchen’s shoulder and pat his (Luo Muchen’s) chest twice while saying, "We were just playing, right? I was just messing with you class president. There is no need to take it seriously."
