Chapter 59 – The Cold and Lonely Top Student VS The School Bully Little Wolf Dog (8)
Even in their villa’s backyard, a small sports ground was established by Leng Xiao, equipped with basketball, table tennis, and badminton, projects that didn’t take up much space. Every day, he would drag Mu Jin out for exercise, claiming it was for his well-being.
Leng Xiao’s idea turned out to be quite effective. Even in their old age, the two of them remained very strong and healthy. Mu Jin also developed a love for outdoor activities.
Despite his petite stature, Mu Jin was agile and, with practice, became adept at these sports. In the later stages, even Leng Xiao couldn’t necessarily gain an advantage over him.
Qi Changfeng, seeing Mu Jin’s expectant gaze, finally mimicked Mu Jin’s action of clapping the basketball, though not very skillfully.
Seeing his reaction, Mu Jin took the basketball back, and in front of Qi Changfeng, started playing. He put in effort, showcasing his skills like a peacock displaying its feathers, wanting his beloved to see his most handsome side.
Dribbling, jumping, shooting—Mu Jin’s figure was agile, like a small cheetah. The slender waist was revealed due to the arc of the jumps, creating an aesthetically pleasing sight.
Qi Changfeng watched the sunshine-drenched youth, sweating and smiling brightly at him. He stared deeply at Mu Jin, feeling his heart race incessantly.
He couldn’t control covering his chest, attempting to slow down his heartbeat, but to no avail. He felt like he was ill, and quite severely at that. He couldn’t speak or move, allowing his gaze to continuously follow the seemingly radiant youth in front of him.
After a charming performance, Mu Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his shirt. The fair waist was exposed in the air, and Qi Changfeng felt a bout of dizziness.
Then, he heard the young man across from him boasting, “How about it? Am I handsome? Hasn’t my brother been captivated by my heroic spirit!”
Hearing Mu Jin’s teasing, Qi Changfeng finally came to his senses. He remained silent, and although his face was expressionless, his reddened ears betrayed his inner turmoil.
Mu Jin regretted that his man’s bangs were too long, hiding whether there was any stunning expression in his eyes. Nevertheless, he smoothly handed the basketball to the young man, letting him try clapping it twice, then patiently demonstrating.
Seeing the other imitating him, Mu Jin deliberately moved behind Qi Changfeng. Placing his hands on the back of the latter’s hands, he taught him the sensation of ball control.
Their bodies pressed against each other, and the refreshing fragrance of lotus leaves from the other person spread over, smelling pleasant.
Qi Changfeng felt his chest getting warmer, and for a moment, he was flustered, unable to hold onto the basketball in his hands.
The basketball rolled not far away, and Mu Jin blinked, looking over at Qi Changfeng. He knew about his lover’s innate abilities and couldn’t believe Qi Changfeng would have poor athletic instincts.
Was it because of him that Qi Changfeng got flustered?
With a smirk, Mu Jin, self-absorbedly musing about his irresistible charm, ran over to retrieve the basketball and continued patiently guiding Qi Changfeng.
Qi Changfeng certainly felt that he had been off just now. Considering the tension in their recent study sessions, this was a rare moment of relaxation. He didn’t want to dampen Mu Jin’s spirits due to his own reasons, so the young man made an effort to steady his mind and earnestly began to learn.
It was just basketball, and for him, learning it wasn’t a difficult task. Although he couldn’t reach the level of Mu Jin’s long-term practice, playing for a while with him was definitely not a problem.
After another beautiful slam dunk by the young man, Mu Jin hurried over, clapping his hands generously, “Teacher Qi, you’re truly a genius!”
“How can you learn so quickly? It’s fine if you’re a top student, but your sports instincts are unexpectedly strong. Do you know that the people around me, if they want to reach your level, would take at least one or two months.”
Hearing the young man’s praise beside him, Qi Changfeng’s heart was filled with joy. The two played for a while, stopping only when it was completely dark outside.
The physical exertion made both youths feel particularly exhilarated, but they were also covered in sweat.
The current month’s weather wasn’t cold, and wearing sticky clothes was uncomfortable. Mu Jin quickly pulled Qi Changfeng back to his home, telling him to take a shower first, and then he would help find a replacement set of clothes.
Qi Changfeng, although somewhat uncomfortable with bathing outside, didn’t want to go home in sticky and dirty clothes. Reluctantly, he nodded in agreement.
Mu Jin’s bathroom was not large, and he had hoped to have a romantic bath with his lover, but it was ruthlessly rejected.
Qi Changfeng mentioned his discomfort with bathing together, but Mu Jin understood. After all, they hadn’t reached that level of intimacy. Besides, Mu Jin’s feelings for his lover were not entirely pure, and he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t lose control if he saw his lover in such a vulnerable state.
Since they were still in the friendship stage, Mu Jin decided to take things step by step.
Qi Changfeng had a tall stature, even as a high school student, standing close to six feet. Consequently, none of Mu Jin’s clothes would fit him. Mu Jin could only find his original father’s loose T-shirt and shorts to give to the young man.
After gathering the clothes he needed to change into, Mu Jin estimated that Qi Changfeng had finished bathing and went to the door.
He placed the clothes on the rack outside the bathroom and called out to Qi Changfeng, “Teacher Qi, I’ve put the clothes on the rack outside. They belong to my dad. Can you wear this outfit later?”
A muffled “Mm” came from inside the bathroom. Mu Jin turned away and waited until he heard sporadic sounds from inside, indicating that Qi Changfeng had likely changed. He then knocked on the door and, after receiving a response, entered.
The white T-shirt and black shorts, which were initially loose, fit the young man perfectly. It was Mu Jin’s first time seeing Qi Changfeng in clothes other than his school uniform, allowing him to better appreciate the contours of his lover’s physique.
Mu Jin surreptitiously sized him up, feeling a mix of emotions. Despite his lover being perceived as a bookworm, obsessed with studying, and not engaging in much physical activity, his physique still looked good.
Subconsciously pinching the soft flesh on his own stomach, Mu Jin couldn’t help but complain. Was this the legendary talent?
Each time his lover entered a new world, as long as the nutrition kept up, he would inevitably become tall, robust, and exuding a burst of hormones.
On the other hand, no matter how much he ate or exercised, Mu Jin remained petite.
Even in the previous small world, after participating in intense battle sports with Leng Xiao, his lover’s well-defined six-pack abs and the tantalizing V-line made others jealous. But no matter how hard Mu Jin trained, he was just a lump of soft flesh at best.
Indeed, same world, different fate!
Sighing helplessly in his heart, Mu Jin walked over to Qi Changfeng. When he saw the young man with wet hair, strands of it falling over his forehead, he casually picked up a hairdryer.
Mu Jin lifted Qi Changfeng’s long bangs, initially intending to blow-dry his hair. However, when he saw the young man’s face, he couldn’t help but be a little stunned.
He had loved this person for so many years, observing him from afar for too long. Although he knew that his lover’s appearance in each lifetime should correspond to his soul, this lifetime seemed even more similar. It was just because Qi Changfeng was relatively young, adding a hint of youthfulness to his temperament.
At this moment, those shallow amber eyes were looking at him with a hint of surprise, making Mu Jin blush involuntarily.
For a long time, he hadn’t directly looked into these eyes. Even though they had passed through two lifetimes blissfully, meeting eyes like this again still caused his heart to accelerate uncontrollably.
However, Mu Jin quickly regained his composure. He noticed a deep scar on the right upper corner of Qi Changfeng’s forehead. Looking at it for a moment, wanting to observe it more closely, Qi Changfeng took a step back.
Qi Changfeng’s sudden retreat left Mu Jin momentarily bewildered. The young man’s eyes were concealed again by his hair. Even though he couldn’t see the gaze, Mu Jin could still sense a certain guardedness and melancholy from his lover.
So, what was it? Was it because he saw his eyes, or was it because of the exposed scar?
In reality, Qi Changfeng’s current mood was indeed quite low. When Mu Jin suddenly approached him just now, he didn’t react in time, and his bangs were lifted.
Staring at Mu Jin’s watery cat eyes up close, he couldn’t control the sudden sway of his mind. For a moment, he didn’t know how to react.
Especially with the warmth of the other’s palm transmitting directly from his forehead, with the two so close, he could even feel Mu Jin’s breath spraying over him, causing his entire body to produce a tingling sensation, as if he had been electrified.
His mind went blank, and for an instant, he didn’t know what to do, just standing there dumbfounded. But when he noticed that Mu Jin’s gaze had turned towards the scar on his right temple, the young man suddenly came back to his senses.
Because that was a scar left on Qi Changfeng’s heart, a past he didn’t want to recall or touch upon.
