Chapter 89 – Jealousy

Qiu Jin said: “You don’t hate me now, do you?”

Ji Qisheng’s chest didn’t feel as tight as before, but he was still stubborn: “Just average. You’re far from reaching my level.”

“Since you don’t agree, how about we have a match?”

Ji Qisheng thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, “Compete in singing?”

He wasn’t afraid of Qiu Jin or anything, but singing out in the countryside was just like singing folk songs. It was too out of style for him.

“How about picking corn? Whoever reaches the target [number] first is the better one.”

Ji Qisheng was dissatisfied: “What kind of competition is that? It’s too out of style.”

“Then what do you want to compete in?” Qiu Jin smiled, “Are we going to compete to see who eats more or who walks faster?”

He was clearly mocking Ji Qisheng’s childish behaviors from before. Ji Qisheng was done. He glared at Qiu Jin. “Fine, let’s compete. Do you think I’m afraid of you?!”

The two arrived at the cornfield. Qiu Jin picked corn at his usual speed, but Ji Qisheng ran back and forth as if he had been injected with chicken blood and in a short while he swept through nearly half of the cornfield.

When Ji Qisheng looked at the four boxes filled with corn in front of him, he squinted his eyes proudly. Although he was exhausted and out of breath, his heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction.

As for Qiu Jin… he was still trying to fill the second box!

When [the competition] was over, Ji Qisheng had filled six boxes by himself.

The director was also shocked when he came to count the results. In the end, he took out six hundred yuan as their living expenses for the week.

Qiu Jin handed the money to Ji Qisheng with a sincere expression: “Congratulations.”

Ji Qisheng: “?”

“You wiped out half of the country* by yourself.”

[*T/N: 半壁江山 – “half of the country” is a standard idiomatic saying in Chinese, and in this case Qiu Jin is obviously referring to the cornfield when he said “country”]

Ji Qisheng: “???”

What the f*ck? So this was the true purpose of Qiu Jin’s competition?!

Ji Qisheng felt deceived and said angrily: “You didn’t want to compete with me at all, you just wanted to make me pick corn for you?”

Qiu Jin replied, “That’s not true. I’m sincerely congratulating you.”

Ji Qisheng: “…”

F*ck. Rural roads are slippery. Human hearts are complicated.

All the participants in the TV program laughed. Ji Qisheng was about to puff up like an angry cat again, but when he saw his brother was smiling, he couldn’t help but restrain his temper. Forget it. Just think of it as making his big brother happy.

But he was secretly stifling his anger. After they finished all their work, Ji Qisheng drenched Qiu Jin from head to toe with the water pipe while he was washing his face.

“Ji Qisheng, what’s wrong with you?!”

Qiu Jin never thought that the youngster would do this. His whole shirt was soaking wet, and even his hair was dripping with water.

Ji Qisheng threw away the water pipe and said smugly, “For a nobleman to take revenge, ten years is not too long.”

[T/N: The closest English equivalent of what Ji Qisheng just said would be: “revenge is a dish best served cold.”]

“Oh, is that so?” Qiu Jin sneered, “There won’t be any dinner for you tonight.”

Ji Qisheng’s entire person went rigid. He hesitated for only two seconds, and immediately adapted to the situation with flexibility. He handed a dry towel over: “I’m sorry, I was wrong, wipe it, wipe it.”

Qiu Jin squinted his eyes and looked the other party up and down. Only after a good long while did he withdrew his gaze and accepted the towel.

While Qiu Jin was wiping his head, Ji Qisheng stood beside him, guarding him like a big dog.

Qiu Jin said: “You have nothing else to do?”

“No,” Ji Qisheng shook his head, “and you smell so good! I don’t want to leave.”

Qiu Jin’s movements stopped for a moment.

Ji Qisheng was confused. “It’s unscientific. You are an alpha. So why are you more fragrant than an omega?”

Qiu Jin slowly put down the towel without turning his head: “I’m gonna go now.”

“Hey, I was joking!” Ji Qisheng caught up with Qiu Jin and put his arm around his shoulder. He asked tactlessly, “Why is there something flapping from your neck? Did you get sunburn? Aren’t you too delicate? I can help you [reluctantly] apply medicine.”

Qiu Jin’s footsteps quickened a bit, and his voice became cold: “No need.”

The gland patch had loosened up from his sweat, and he wiped at it with a towel, so it was not sticky anymore. So Qiu Jin just straight up tore it off.

Not too far away, Ji Shenxiao and Shan Wen were coming back with some fruit. Tan Yunting met up with them with a small bamboo basket in hand.

Shan Wen pointed forward and said, “Ji Qisheng was rejecting Qiu Jin so much yesterday, but today they’re already so close.”

Tan Yunting said: “Xiao Qiu* is such a good person, who wouldn’t like him?”

[*T/N: “Xiao Qiu” is a nickname for Qiu Jin. “Xiao” means “small or little,” and it’s a form of endearment. Qiu is the same as his surname.]

Ji Shenxiao followed Shan Wen’s line of sight. He saw two tall, young men standing under the eaves. Qiu Jin’s clothes were all wet. Ji Qisheng’s hands were around his shoulders. Ji Shenxiao didn’t know what they were talking about, but Ji Qisheng bent his head and sniffed the back of Qiu Jin’s neck.

Qiu Jin pushed him away, but it was evidently a playful action and not actual rejection.

What an eyesore.

The scorching sun was in the sky, but Ji Shenxiao’s face was becoming colder and colder.

Ji Shenxiao didn’t realize he had broken the peach in his hand until he heard a “puchi” sound and liquid soaked through his fingers.

When they entered the villa, everyone noticed that Ji Shenxiao’s facial expression wasn’t good.

Qiu Jin asked casually, “Who offended you? Why are you so angry?”

Ji Qisheng also asked, “Brother, are you all right?”

“It’s nothing,” Ji Shenxiao said lightly. “Ji Qisheng, you should go back tomorrow.”
