Chapter 147 – Extremely Embarrassing and Awkward
After Qiu Jin got in the car, he told Liu Wei: “You can go back by yourself tonight and pick me up at my apartment in Beijing at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Liu Wei asked, “You’re going back to Beijing?”
The car window rolled down, and Ji Shenxiao’s voice came out: “I’ll drive you tomorrow, no need to trouble him.”
Qiu Jin hesitated for a moment: “Isn’t that inconvenient for you?”
“Not a problem, it’s along the way for me.” Ji Shenxiao said to Liu Wei, “You can go back now.”
After that temporary meeting in the hotel, Liu Wei had already classified them as a couple and immediately nodded: “I understand, I understand.”
Qiu Jin: “…”
Understand? What the heck do you understand?

After the car started, Ji Shenxiao asked the driver to go to the hospital first.
Qiu Jin grabbed his sleeve, his face was a little red, and he whispered: “No… no need to go to the hospital.”
With an injury like that, how could he go to the hospital and take off his pants for the doctor to look him over?
Ji Shenxiao frowned. “Then how are you going to deal with it?”
Qiu Jin was reluctant to continue the topic, but he said, “It’s just a little scratch. It’s nothing. Don’t you still need to go pick up your younger brother?”
Ji Shenxiao pressed the topic once more, and after confirming that the other party really did not want to go to the hospital, he finally took out a jar of ointment from the storage compartment, “Then rub this on yourself, okay?”

Qiu Jin took a look at the packaging and saw that it was medicine for treating bruises. He was a little stunned, “Why do you…?”
Ji Shenxiao said, “I heard that you were going to be riding a horse to film an advertisement. I thought it might be useful, so I brought it with me.”
“When I was a kid, I suffered a bad experience while riding a horse. The skin on my legs and buttocks was damaged. It burned in pain. Because I was embarrassed, I didn’t let the doctor see me even when they came.” Ji Shenxiao’s expression softened a lot as he talked about the past. “At that time, my father gave me a jar of herbal plaster, and I hid in my room and applied it myself. It was almost healed the next day.”
Qiu Jin felt a little awkward. Ji Shenxiao was suddenly going down the warm and tender route with him, and it made him feel a little uncomfortable. The other man actually took the initiative to talk about things from his childhood. This is stuff that you only talk about with friends, right?
Did Ji Shenxiao already consider him a friend?
Qiu Jin suddenly felt that he was a bit of a scumbag. The other person had opened his heart to him, but he still treated the other person as a tool. Since the other party has taken the initiative, then let’s be friends.
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, Ji Shenxiao was a very good person. He has a bit of a venomous tongue and he could be a bit petty, but a blemish does not obscure jade’s luster*. Being friends with Ji Shenxiao was definitely a plus for him.
[*T/N: “a blemish does not obscure jade’s luster” – a saying that means “the pros outweigh the cons”]
Thinking of this, Qiu Jin smiled at him and said a little embarrassedly: “I understand, thank you!”
Facing this smiling face, Ji Shenxiao’s heart suddenly beat a little fast.
The car drove away from the coastline, and soon they picked up Ji Qisheng, who had just finished recording for his show.

Ji Qisheng came out of the TV station wearing sunglasses and habitually waited for the driver to get out of the car and open the door for him. The driver got out, wearing a suit and white gloves. He opened the door for him as usual, but the door he opened was for the shotgun seat.
Ji Qisheng: “?”
The driver said, “Mr. Ji said to have you sit in the front passenger seat.”
“Big Brother? What are you doing?” Ji Qisheng knocked on the rear window.
Ji Shenxiao rolled the glass down a small crack and said directly: “You go sit in the passenger seat.”
“What? Front passenger seat?!”
Ji Qisheng didn’t like this.
The extended business car has an air-tight separation between the front and back seats. The front passenger seat was narrow and uncomfortable. There was no carpet. It was usually reserved for bodyguards, assistants and the like. Why would he want to sit in that place?
Ji Qisheng was naturally unhappy. He knocked on the door and said coquettishly, “Aren’t you here to pick me up? Open the car door!”
Ji Shenxiao said briefly: “It’s inconvenient.”
“Why is it inconvenient? Is there someone else in the back seat?”
Even as Ji Qisheng said this, he felt stupid. What kind of person was his brother? How could he let others get into his car so casually?
Unexpectedly, Ji Shenxiao actually nodded and said, “There is someone.”
The heck, there really is someone?!
Ji Qisheng stuck his hand into the open crack of the window to prevent his brother from closing it. Then he pressed his face in close to peer inside the car.
He really did see someone in the back seat. The person waved to him a little awkwardly, “Hi…”
Ji Qisheng became excited: “Qiu Jin-ge is here too?”
However, when he saw Qiu Jin’s posture, he immediately froze there with a hesitant expression on his face, “What are you…”
Qiu Jin’s posture was a bit awkward. Because of his hip and thigh injuries, he could only lie down on the seats.
Fortunately, Ji Shenxiao was riding in an extended car today. There were two rows of seats facing each other in the back of the car. Ji Shenxiao sat on the other side, so as to not embarrass Qiu Jin too much.
Qiu Jin didn’t try to hide it. Hearing Ji Qisheng’s question, he casually explained: “My butt is injured.”
At that moment, there was something strange in Ji Qisheng’s gaze when he looked at Ji Shenxiao.
