Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 223: Third World: Bachelors Sharing A Bed

Qie Ranzhe remained rooted on the spot with his head lowered in self reflection. He didn't know where to begin from and so remained standing seeming remorseful. "Come here," said Wen Qinxi patting the bed beckoning him to sit down.

Like an obedient pup, Qie Ranzhe walked over and sat beside Feng Zi while summoning the courage to apologize. The moment he raised his head he said, "I a-.....fuck," he swore when his bruised lip was suddenly pressed with a wet wipe drenched in antiseptic fluid bringing about a stinging pain that had the general draw in cold air.

Wen Qinxi found this amusing and teased him, "You have been shot before but for a small wound like that you turn into a cry baby," his eyes obsessively fixated on those rosy lips he hadn't tasted in what seemed like a decade. Unbeknownst to himself, Wen Qinxi actually caressed Qie Ranzhe's lower lip without thinking. If it weren't for Qie Ranzhe saying something he might have jumped this man.

"What's wrong?" asked Qie Ranzhe with his heart pounding so fast for some unknown reason.

Wen Qinxi was instantly jolted out of his trance and said, "Go take a shower then we can talk."

"Sure...oh, can I sleep over?" asked Qie Ranzhe as he stood up talking off his

t-shirt while walking towards the bathroom.

"Sure.....sure," replied Wen Qinxi who was once again stuck in a trance ogling at that sensual back recalling how he had scratched it with Qie Ranzhe thrusting deep within him in the second world. The sound of the bathroom door closing finally brought him back to earth with his member standing at half mast as though asking if there would be a special treat tonight.

"Shit!....I fuckin brought that on myself," thought Wen Qinxi losing confidence in himself. He could no longer guarantee the General's safety as there was only one bed. Though it was king sized there was absolutely no assurance that he wouldn't try something.

Wen Qinxi had been anxiously pacing up and down for the past ten minutes but as soon as he heard the stream of water die down he jumped on the bed and covered himself with a quilt pretending to be asleep. He didn't intend on seeing things that would further instigate him so he covered up.

He heard Qie Ranzhe talk to someone on the phone and two minutes later a knock was heard. Wen Qinxi knew it was probably the sergeant delivering Qie Ranzhe's duffle bag. With his eyes shrouded in the darkness of the quilt, his hearing naturally became better so he could hear everything.

Coupled with the scent of jasmine he could tell when Qie Ranzhe moisturized his body making Wen Qinxi's face flush crimson as he associated that scent with seduction.

His hearing was amplified to such a point that he could tell when Qie Ranzhe took off his towel which meant he was most definitely naked. It took so much self restraint to survive the longest fifteen seconds of his life.

Wen Qinxi only relaxed when he thought Qie Ranzhe was now fully dressed but he didn't dare open the quilt because he knew how red his face was so he continued with his pretense. But his relief was short lived when he felt the bed move as Qie Ranzhe silently crawled into bed giving off the illusion that the general was moving closer to him. Just when he thought his heart was about to jump out of his chest in anxiety, the movements stopped.

'Sleep....sleep....sleep,' said Wen Qinxi to himself trying to hypnotize himself to sleep. Just as he continued to chant himself to sleep someone suddenly pulled at the quilt exposing his flushed face.

"Xiao di di, didn't you say I should take a shower so we can talk? So why are you pretending to be asleep?" said Qie Ranzhe lying beside Wen Qinxi looking down at him.

Wen Qinxi, "...."

'What are you? A fuckin cat?'

"Why are you sneaking around?" asked Wen Qinxi moving a few inches backwards but he was already at the edge of the bed.

Qie Ranzhe chuckled and said, "You are wrapping yourself up so tight when it's hot. Look your face is so red now," lying on his side right beside Feng Zi.

Nervous with sweaty palms, Wen Qinxi pushed Qie Ranzhe away saying, "Move over. There is an entire bed yet you choose to squeeze me into a corner. What the fuck is wrong with you?" That is until he realised Qie Ranzhe was shirtless and he had just groped that sturdy chest. His face flushed even redder having a major freak out.

Qie Ranzhe was only messing around but didn't expect Feng Zi to react like a cat that just had someone step on its tail. He wanted to continue teasing him but when he remembered what they wanted to talk about he shuffled back giving Feng Zi some space.

Only then did Wen Qinxi calm down but his lower half didn't get the memo standing stiff making him feel so embarrassed. It was a good thing they were now far apart otherwise he might poke the General with his enthusiastic pogo stick.

Wen Qinxi was too flustered to notice the tense atmosphere, not the kind of atmosphere filled with sexual tension but rather the kind that makes you nervous because you are worried. When he finally realised something was off he then attempted to break the ice but Qie Ranzhe beat him to it.

"I am sorry I shot you. I was wrong," said Qie Ranzhe seemingly remorseful.

Wen Qinxi who had finally got his apology didn't intend on letting this man off easy so he asked, "What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have believed Zhao Huangzhi," said Qie Ranzhe his chest tightening making him feel suffocated.

"What else?" asked Wen Qinxi his gaze fastened on Qie Ranzhe.

"Not asking you first," replied Qie Ranzhe in a hoarse voice with a wan expression.

"Mn, now go to sleep," said Wen Qinxi turning on his other side to conceal his smile but Qie Ranzhe thought he was still upset so he asked,

"Are you still upset with me?" but there was no response, "I broke up with Zhao Huangzhi and I am sending her back home tomorrow." Even he didn't know why he was divulging his personal details. It had nothing to do with Feng Zi but he had a feeling that saying this would make Feng Zi feel better which didn't make sense.

Boy, was he right. Wen Qinxi was smiling from ear to ear celebrating in his mind like it was Chinese New Year. For a minute, Wen Qinxi didn't respond attempting to conceal the excitement in his voice. After a long struggle he finally said, "Sleep," hoping Qie Ranzhe wouldn't pursue this any further.

Qie Ranzhe obediently closed his eyes and said, "Good night," but none of them fell asleep right away. It was bound to be a long night.
