Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 99: "He is in charge."

The stormy grey clouds were heavy and thick but it didn’t last. Luo Muchen was especially easy to coax.

Qie Xieling gave him the entire bag of snacks and let him be in charge. This meant when Li Na tried her luck as well, Qie Xieling pointed at Luo Muchen and said, "He is in charge."

Lee Ya stood up for her friend saying to Qie Xieling that the snacks belonged to him not Luo Muchen but Qie Xieling was adamant.

Lucky enough lunch was served and this food war, like they were living through the apocalypse, came to an end. The flight wasn’t long but Qie Xieling who had woken up too early today at the annoyance of his parents couldn’t help but pass out after eating.

Luo Muchen took a glimpse at the tablet resting on the tray playing a superhero movie. Curious he raised his head to ask Qie Xieling what he was watching but he found that person was dozing off.

Luo Muchen smiled slightly before pausing the movie and locking the tablet. He pulled up the tray before sending a text message with an unusual-looking app.

Soon a man who looked nothing like an air attendant strode over and handed a soft blanket to Luo Muchen. Luo Muchen nodded his head slightly and the man walked back.

While Luo Muchen was covering Qie Xieling with the blanket he heard Lee Ya stop his bodyguard having mistaken him for some flight attendant despite not wearing a uniform. "Excuse me, can I have one of those too," she said and the man arched his brow before gazing at Luo Muchen.

Luo Muchen didn’t say anything. He carried on fixing the blanket so the man smiled at her before raising his middle finger and walking away.

Lee Ya, "..."

"You!... How rude. Get back here?" she said the princess syndrome inside of her manifesting. She had never been on a commercial flight before and when they travelled it was always in a private jet so it was easy for her to assume that anyone who brings things to others must be there to serve them. It took Li Na explaining it to her for her to stop yelling and throwing a fit.

Luckily Luo Muchen had tapped Qie Xieling’s wireless earphones to shift to active noise cancellation mode. This meant he heard none of her screamings.

Qie Xieling managed to sleep for the rest of the flight. He only woke up when an announcement came through the PSA. When he opened his eyes he was lying on Luo Muchen’s shoulder. Luo Muchen had his head lowered while studying like they weren’t going on a vacation but the Olympiad.

Qie Xieling wanted to sit up but was entranced by that handsome side profile that he lost himself for a second. He reached over and poked Luo Muchen’s chiselled jawline. His brow furrowed having felt something but before he could make sense of it Luo Muchen’s deep voice reverberated in his ear.

"You like what you see?" he asked and Qie Xieling sat up while rubbing Luo Muchen’s chin his eyes wide.

Luo Muchen didn’t understand what he was doing but he liked it a lot. He licked his bottom lip before asking, "What are you doing?"

Qie Xieling pulled his head down and asked, "You are shaving now? Do you have a beard already? Fuck, why?"

Luo Muchen, "..."

Qie Xieling felt cheated. He didn’t even have a hair in sight nor was his voice deep but Luo Muchen had both of those. He was already ushering in the dawn of manhood yet Qie Xieling was lagging. Luo Muchen couldn’t understand why everything had to be a competition with Qie Xieling.

Qie Xieling puffed up his cheeks after touching all he wanted. The prickly stubble though not visible was what gave him away. Luo Muchen poked the little hamster’s cheek while asking, "Are you mad at me?"

Qie Xieling didn’t respond. He knew he was being ridiculous but that didn’t stop him from acting childish. This childish tantrum of his lasted until the plane landed and they entered the small airport.

After having their passports stamped the three of them rolled their bags to the assembly point only to find lots of girls taking pictures and videos.

Fearing that the girls would beg them to be photographers, the three of them made their escape as quickly as possible. Qie Xieling vaguely heard his name being called but he was not stopping for nobody.

When they reached the pickup point though Qie Xieling took a couple of selfies with the two of them. While taking the third one a girl suddenly photo bombed their selfie. Qie Xieling was a little surprised when he noticed who it was.

It was the senior rumoured to be gracing the public with a cupcake two-piece bathing suit. He already knew who she was here for and that was the male god, the heartthrob in plenty of girls’ hearts. Hell, Luo Muchen attracted even seniors and one could understand why at a glance.

Qie Xieling had admirers but they were in no way compared to the amount of girls fawning over Luo Muchen. He even had discussions on a forum with videos and pictures of him just walking down the hall or playing volleyball. Qie Xieling admitted that Luo Muchen was indeed handsome especially while spiking the ball over the net but come on, this was getting ridiculous.

"Mu-ge, how about you come with us to the pool tonight? I heard it’s a heated pool," she said and Qie Xieling’s lips twitched.

She might as well write horny on her forehead. She was doing too much. Luo Muchen gave her no face refusing directly without even bothering to come up with an excuse. Senior Su wasn’t angry though. She smiled sweetly while saying, "You can bring your friends with you. Think about it... it will be an interesting experience."

Qie Xieling sneered and he kept sneering all the way to the hotel. He barely heard what the teacher said. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Bo Ailun was running his mouth about how they should go because he understood what the word interesting meant. He was almost a hundred per cent sure that there will be skinny dipping involved.

This only made Qie Xieling even more unhappy. If one was to ask him why he was unhappy he would say something along the lines of Luo Muchen ditching them even though he had clearly refused to go. It seemed this holiday was off to a sour start for this cute hamster.
