FIMA Ch23: Bankruptcy

“Knowing that you’re thirsty and starving, you single dog!” Gu Siyuan looked at him and said calmly.

Jiang Hefeng laughed out loud: “It’s truly rare for you to actually make a joke.”

Gu Siyuan spread his hands: “Then you just don’t understand me well enough.”

“By the way, you hide your little boyfriend so tightly. When are you going to bring him over for a look? Does he know about your career?” Jiang Hefeng added.

Achieving such success at this age—if there was no one to share it with, wouldn’t it be like wearing fine clothes and walking in the dark of night?

Gu Siyuan didn’t think much of it; it was just walking the same path he had in his past life.

Bidding farewell to the extremely gossipy Jiang Hefeng, Gu Siyuan took a car to wait outside Xie Qingxiao’s exam center.

He timed it perfectly. After waiting less than ten minutes, the school gates opened, and the young students filed out.

At this moment, regardless of whether they performed well or poorly, everyone wore a relaxed smile on their faces.

Years of hard studying all culminated in this day.

Gu Siyuan stood by his car. Dressed in an expensive suit, tall with long legs, and possessing an imposing aura, he was extremely eye-catching. The moment Xie Qingxiao walked out of the school gates, he spotted the familiar figure at a glance. He rushed straight over and pounced on him.

Gu Siyuan reached out and firmly caught him, holding him in his arms and giving him a slight bounce. He asked with a smile, “In a good mood, huh?”

“Ah, the exams are finally over!” Xie Qingxiao hugged his boyfriend’s neck and kissed him.

This action was truly intimate.

If it were an ordinary day, it would probably attract a crowd of onlookers.

However, today, among the students coming out of the exam center, there were quite a few acting crazy. Their various actions could be considered performance art; their simple hug and kiss here seemed to be the most normal thing in comparison.

“Where do you want to go eat?” Gu Siyuan asked while holding him.

Xie Qingxiao shook his head: “There are definitely a lot of people outside right now, I don’t want to squeeze through crowds. Let’s go to your place and lie down, eat something, and then stay up all night watching movies and playing games.”

“Alright, then get in the car. I’ll call someone to deliver food!”

During the second half of the semester, Gu Siyuan frequently had to go to the company, so he stopped living at the school dorms and found an apartment in a residential area near the school to move into.

The two got into the back seat of the car together.

After Gu Siyuan finished his phone call, he saw his little boyfriend resting his chin on his hand, staring at him with bright, piercing eyes.

He raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong?”

Xie Qingxiao pointed to the luxury car beneath him: “You bought this?”

Gu Siyuan: “The company provided it as an official vehicle.”

“Oh…” Not knowing what he thought of, Xie Qingxiao suddenly chuckled: “If someone else saw this, they would definitely think I’m a student you’re keeping as a sugar baby.”

Gu Siyuan lazily raised a hand to loosen his tie. Then, he turned around, hooked his two fingers under Xie Qingxiao’s small, exquisite chin, and gently rubbed it with his thumb: “Mn, just one car? How is that enough to qualify to keep our Classmate Xie, whose beauty and intelligence are unparalleled?”

The smile on Xie Qingxiao’s face grew even more radiant, revealing two rows of neat, white, and cute little teeth.

The next moment, Gu Siyuan felt a slight prickling pain at the tip of his thumb. Mixed in with this fine prickling was a warm dampness that made one feel restless and agitated.

Xie Qingxiao actually bit him.

With a triumphant smile on his face, he asked, “Then… I wonder what price Mr. Gu is willing to pay?”

Gu Siyuan slightly raised his eyebrows and fell silent, seemingly considering the most appropriate answer.

Xie Qingxiao wasn’t in a hurry either, just staring at the person intently. What he loved most was his boyfriend’s icy, calm appearance and aura.

Right at this moment, Gu Siyuan suddenly looked up at him.

Xie Qingxiao’s brows and eyes flew up: “Well, have you thought it through?”

However, the next moment, he let out a gasp of surprise as his entire body was half-lifted into the air.

Gu Siyuan stretched out his arms, scooped the person over, and sat him face-to-face on his lap.

He lowered his head slightly, his breath brushing against Xie Qingxiao’s delicate, pale ear. His deep voice spoke directly to the very tip of Xie Qingxiao’s heart: “Classmate Xie possesses a beauty that can topple cities and states, unexchangeable even for a thousand pieces of gold. How could I dare to lightly speak of a price? I can only beg Classmate Xie… to grant me some face and bestow your pity upon me.”

Xie Qingxiao twitched his ears, feeling deeply seduced.

Thinking of this, he slightly raised his head, his pearly white teeth lightly biting down on the prominent Adam’s apple of the person in front of him. He said slowly, “Actually, if my sugar daddy has such good looks as Mr. Gu, it’s not impossible for me to condescend and lower the price. I just hope that when the time comes, Mr. Gu… absolutely does not disappoint.”

“…” Gu Siyuan.

After the two got out of the car, they held hands and walked briskly all the way back to Gu Siyuan’s place.

After exiting the elevator, Xie Qingxiao only heard a click. The apartment door was forcefully shut, and he was pushed against the wall by a strong force, followed by being completely enveloped by that familiar, scorching aura.

His flexible and slender waist trembled in waves from the heat of the palm against it. The large hand pressing on the back of his neck exerted slight pressure, forcing Xie Qingxiao to raise his head. The kiss that landed on his lips was steady yet intensely fierce, making him feel as if his breath was being entirely plundered.

A boyfriend getting serious is truly terrifying… An Alpha’s desire to win is scary.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. When Xie Qingxiao felt his breathing return, his entire lips were a bright red, even stinging slightly.

And the room was completely silent. He could only hear the scorching, steady breathing of the person in front of him, and his own rapid, racing heartbeat.

“Now, are you satisfied?” Gu Siyuan’s deep, magnetic voice sounded in his ear.

“…Satisfied.” Xie Qingxiao felt that not only his ears, but his heart was also itching terribly.

He reached out his hand, just preparing to grab the person’s clothes to share some tenderness, only to look up and find that the tall figure in front of him had abruptly pulled away.

Gu Siyuan sat on the sofa, unbuttoned his cuffs, and casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his strong, fit forearms.

He glanced at Xie Qingxiao’s legs and patted the sofa beside him: “Aren’t you tired of standing?”

It was a double entendre.

Xie Qingxiao stomped in anger. So useless! He touched his still-burning cheeks. Hmph, Alphas truly aren’t any good!

However, is my boyfriend really a normal Alpha? Why can he pull away so ruthlessly and come and go so freely? Aren’t Alphas supposed to be more… you know?

The two had a fairly peaceful dinner.

Of course, this was only from Gu Siyuan’s perspective.

Xie Qingxiao was very dissatisfied with his boyfriend’s coldness throughout the entire process.

After finishing dinner.

Xie Qingxiao forcefully lay down on Gu Siyuan’s lap, not wanting to move an inch.

Gu Siyuan thought of his hard-won holiday, and the things that could no longer wait. Heaven knows how much self-control I used to suppress myself just now. If it weren’t for having matters to handle later, hmph…

He lowered his eyes and asked the person on his lap: “What do you want to do next?”

Xie Qingxiao looked at him with wide eyes: “What are your plans?”

Generally speaking, after finishing the college entrance exam, everyone went out traveling or something similar.

Gu Siyuan opened his phone and showed him a few pictures.

Xie Qingxiao’s eyes widened in pleasant surprise: “A cruise ship…”

He hadn’t expected his old-fashioned boyfriend to actually be a romantic person.

However, he thought about it and said, “This looks like a private yacht, it must be very expensive, right?”

Over the past year, he had come to know that Gu Siyuan’s part-time job was extraordinary. Just looking at what he wore and how he traveled daily, one could guess that he was probably an incredibly awesome and key technical personnel. But the cost of going out to sea on a yacht was still a bit…

Gu Siyuan said, “It’s free.”

Xie Qingxiao looked at him and couldn’t help but hug his slender arms tightly: “You’re not planning to take me to international waters to sell my organs, are you?”

“…” Gu Siyuan.

Perhaps, just as Jiang Hefeng had said before, he really should take Xie Qingxiao to visit his company.

Right at this moment, Xie Qingxiao’s phone rang.

Xie Qingxiao glanced at the caller ID: “It’s my stepmother. Why would she voluntarily call me?”

Gu Siyuan didn’t make a sound, but thought inwardly: Here it is, the final matter.

Xie Qingxiao didn’t think too much of it and answered the call directly.

Listening to the panicked voice on the other end, it was quite a while before he frowned and murmured, “What did you say?”

“Your dad, he got scammed! All his assets were invested into it, and now our family is going bankrupt… The debt collectors have even come to the door! Hurry up and come back!” Gong Li’s voice showed not the slightest hint of joking.

As she spoke, her tone became increasingly rushed and shrill, complaining, “Your dad and I have been calling you all day today, why haven’t you been answering? What exactly were you doing!”

Xie Qingxiao had felt a bit sad earlier, but upon hearing these words now, he didn’t know what his mood was anymore. After a long while, he said flatly, “I had my college entrance exam today. My phone had to be turned off, and the exam venue also blocks signals.”

Actually, ever since yesterday, his phone had been kept with Gu Siyuan. At first, he just thought Gu Siyuan’s slight possessiveness was cute, but now he had to be very thankful to him for allowing him to get through the entire college entrance exam without any distractions.

The person on the other end seemed to choke for a moment, then said, “Well, you’ve finished the exam now, right? Hurry up and come back!”

“Mn,” Xie Qingxiao responded.

As he put away his phone and stood up, he found that Gu Siyuan had already gotten ready ahead of time and was waiting for him at the door: “You…”

Gu Siyuan said calmly, “I’ll go with you.”

Xie Qingxiao froze for a moment, then smiled softly: “You heard everything?”

“Mn, the voice on the other end was very loud.” Gu Siyuan appeared very calm. He continued, “Have you ever thought about why they would rush you, a student, to come home so urgently?”

Xie Qingxiao paused his movement of putting on his shoes: “To make me sell my organs?”

A rare crack appeared on Gu Siyuan’s composed face.

Why had his little boyfriend, originally an “Untouchable Flower,” now become such a comedian? Did he only have organ selling on his mind?
