This little thing wasn't worth getting angry over in the first place. They could have just said a few words to each other and moved on, but they both held it in for a whole afternoon. Xing Yan said, "I've known that guy since high school. We used to make things together to earn money."
"What did you make?" Qin Fang asked.
Xing Yan said, "All sorts of software, private game servers, mini programs and such. Haven't been in contact for over a year."
"You still know how to do those things?" Qin Fang's focus was a bit off as he looked at Xing Yan. "How do you know how to do everything?"
"It's not hard. I studied it myself to make money." Xing Yan's tone was indifferent. "That guy has always been like that, a bit cheap and flirty, but it has nothing to do with me. We just made money together."
Qin Fang nodded. "He is quite flirty."
Sending photos to someone after not being in contact for over a year, isn't that crazy? Qin Fang laughed and said to Xing Yan, "I thought you two had...hooked up before."
Xing Yan frowned slightly. "How could we hook up? I've only hooked up with you."
With that said, Qin Fang's anger completely vanished. He flopped onto the bed and sighed, "I was about to explode from anger this afternoon."
Xing Yan also lay down, sprawling next to him. "Serves you right."
Qin Fang still smiled. "Were you jealous? Because I said he was fair?"
Xing Yan didn't say anything, his eyes lowered.
"I was too busy being angry to care if he was pale or not." Qin Fang hugged him, his hand feeling Xing Yan's waist, and asked, "So do you want to add him back?"
Xing Yan said, "No need."
Qin Fang said, "He might have wanted you to make something for him."
Xing Yan shook his head, and after a moment of silence, said, "I won't do it anymore, I've earned enough money."
Qin Fang had always felt that Xing Yan wasn't short of money. Zhou Siming said Xing Yan made a living with his brain, and it seemed to be true. Xing Yan was a person who lived very freely, supporting his ease with his mind. Such a person was quite enviable.
The two of them lay for a while, and Qin Fang suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"
"No, why?" Xing Yan said.
Qin Fang suddenly flipped over and pressed on top of Xing Yan, smiling handsomely, looking down at Xing Yan and said, "...If you're not hungry, let me see your legs first."
Xing Yan was pressed down by him, his head slightly raised, exposing his slender neck, and he laughed softly, his chest vibrating.
......
Originally they weren't hungry, but after this session of looking at the legs, both of them felt a bit hungry and rode a motorcycle to go out to eat. Qin Fang had fallen in love with the big motorcycle and would ride it instead of driving a car whenever he could.
They spent a carefree weekend outside and were always in high spirits when they returned to school each week.
Recently, both of his roommates were there, waiting to submit their thesis defense. Chen Ke passed the re-examination without any suspense, while Shen Dengke didn't pass and finally accepted an adjustment from a different department, going to a more niche major. It was also quite good, as he went for the school and achieved his goal.
They also said they wanted to celebrate their smooth postgraduate entrance exams, but Hua Tong had experimental classes recently and was a bit tight on time. He wouldn't let them gather privately without him, so they could only wait.
Qin Fang didn't have many classes now, it was the last semester with classes. Later, if he didn't take the postgraduate entrance exam, he would be considered half-graduated.
Actually, he had never considered these things before. He grew up like this, without anyone managing him, very free, doing whatever he wanted to do. But Qin Fang didn't turn bad, he always walked along the line, and his grades were also passable, not particularly outstanding but above average, without much effort.
He had always taken things one step at a time, not considering or calculating in advance, going wherever he ended up.
But it might be because the friends he knew were all about to graduate, and the atmosphere was heating up, making him occasionally think about these things too. It might also be simply because his boyfriend was too outstanding.
Xing Yan and Qin Fang were two completely different types of people. Xing Yan seemed to live very freely, but his every step was planned. He was a particularly bright person, outstanding in their chemistry department.
Xing Yan had won awards in chemistry competitions in high school, and could add thirty points to his college entrance examination score for reporting to a designated school's chemistry major, so he entered with a high score.
In the following four years, he received two scholarships, the national and school scholarships, every year, and also did projects with masters and doctoral students, accumulating a bunch of academic achievements. Even if he wasn't the first author, being able to have his name trailing at the end was very impressive.
Being with such a person, it was very difficult to continue living day by day like before, and one would subconsciously think about whether they should live more attentively.
But Xing Yan rarely talked to him about these things. Qin Fang hadn't heard him mention the next step, he didn't really talk about things related to the future. He would only take Qin Fang to play freely and give him happiness.
Qin Fang was indeed very happy, but Xing Yan's brilliance would make him involuntarily think more.
Think about the next step, think about the future.
He liked him too much, liked him very seriously. When some things touched his heart, he would ponder them, wanting to go further.
Love made people childish, but it also made people want to grow up.
Qin Fang took the initiative to talk to Xing Yan. On the way back to the dormitory after they finished playing basketball, Qin Fang asked Xing Yan, "Where do you want to work after graduation? Where do you like?"
Xing Yan didn't answer, only asking him, "What about you? Where do you like?"
Qin Fang thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "I don't have any particular likes or dislikes, I'm fine with anything."
After a moment, Xing Yan said, "Choose where you like."
Qin Fang swung his slightly sore arms and laughed, saying, "Recently, I've been reflecting on whether I'm living too casually, feeling that I'm a bit unworthy of you."
"How could that be possible," Xing Yan shook his head, his expression very serious, "You're very good."
Qin Fang said, "I am indeed very casual. I don't have anything that I particularly like and persist in doing, I don't even have such hobbies. I don't particularly like anything, I'm a bit too easygoing. Now, being in a relationship with you is the most serious thing for me."
Xing Yan lowered his head, his expression unclear. He listened to Qin Fang finish speaking, then raised his hand to grasp Qin Fang's wrist, then let go, saying, "Not everyone has to live the same way, being comfortable and suitable is enough."
Qin Fang said, as if joking but also a bit serious, "I feel that being with you is very suitable."
After he finished speaking, Xing Yan lightly pinched his neck and slowly said, "I also feel... this is very good."
