Love In The Air (MXTX Crossovers)

9

The other day shen Qingqiu woke up on his bed. He tried to sit up straight but was rejected by his own body. His back, arms, legs, head everything was throbing. As he moaned lightly in pain with brows furrowed, the other in the house rushed into the room with a spatula in his hand and an apron hung on his body.

"Qianbei! You woke up? How do you feel?"

Shen Qingqiu looked confused for sometime. He couldn't remember anything about how he got home last night. He stared at Luo Binghe for a few minutes before answering;

"I'm fine. Just a light headache."

He woke up because of some sweet aroma came lingering into his nostrils making him restless. Seeing the spatula in the hand of the person who was standing in front of him, he confirmed it by asking;

"Are you cooking something?"

"Yes. Qianbei has a little fever so I cooked some poridge for Qianbei to eat."

"Wow! I'm hungrier now."

Luo Binghe slightly chuckled at that statement and then left the room after nodding at shen Qingqiu. He then brought a bowl of rice porridge with elegant garnishing on top which was hellishly tempting. Shen Qingqiu was actually very hungry since he skipped his breakfast of the day. That's right it was already noon when he woke up. Taking the first bite, he nodded in acceptance and in the second bite, he just closed his eyes thinking; too good too good too good.

"Qianbei here... your medicine." Luo Binghe handed him two tablets and continued "take it."

"What are these for?"

"You must be in pain right now. These are painkillers."

"Oh... thankyou."

As he finished his statement, the door bell rang. Luo Binghe opened the door and three people came dashing into the room.

"You idiot!!" Wei wuxian was the one who yelled at the person on bed. "How could you go somewhere without telling anybody and what happened to you?"

"And why were you not answering your phone you stupid?" Now it was Xie Lian. It was quite unexpected of him at first but then his temper was understandable afterall. This person lying in front of him didn't tell him where he was going, didn't tell him when was he going to come back, he didn't even answer his phone and when they found him he was in a state of a half dead person.

"What exactly happened last night?" It was Luo Binghe who finally let out the words which he wanted to ask for quite a long time now. His expressions were patient but Hua Cheng could tell that his friend was burning inside by his own flame of rage. Hua Cheng simply patted his friends shoulder conveying him to calm down.

"I was on my way back home when I realized that I was secreatly stalked by a few people." Shen Qingqiu started explaining and everyone else had their ears shot open. "At first there were only three of them who approached me and tried to mug me. So I fought with them. When they were severely injured, they called their friends and I escaped from there before their friends could arrive." He then took a deep breath and sighed in dissatisfaction and then continued. "But those stupid streets were like a maze and when I didn't know where to go anymore, they found me and beat me up."

"I then realized that I had lost my phone on the way somewhere and was too tired to go find it." He said all this with his head down and a hint of anger in his voice. "And I really couldn't walk in that state and just sat there itself."

"Who were they? Did you see their faces?" Wei Wuxian asked with a grave expression on his face.

"Nah! They all wore masks."

"How many were there?" Luo Binghe asked with the same grave expression on his face.

"Six or seven maybe." Shen Qingqiu responded with a sigh. "Now don't worry. I've injured the three of them quite much. They won't be able to move their limbs for at least a week. They won't be wandering mugging people."

Luo Binghe ignored the last statement made by Shen Qingqiu and dashed out of the room. They could hear him calling someone and speaking to that person but it was all vague. Hua Cheng knew everything what Luo Binghe was doing and he ignored it completely.

After a moment he was back in the room and helped shen Qingqiu lay on bed. The bowl of porridge was cleaned up into new and he also took his medicines.

"Qianbei. Rest."

Only two words were enough for him to lay on bed and also for others to leave them alone. They all got out of the room with an awkward silence and after sometime, Luo Binghe followed.

That night, Luo Binghe bought a new phone for shen Qingqiu to use and had saved his number in the phone. He handed it over to shen Qingqiu saying;

"Qianbei. You can use this for the time being." He looked at him with his sparkling eyes which made shen Qingqiu fall under the pressure. Still he tried to reject the offer but couldn't.

"Qianbei doesn't want a gift from me?" Luo Binghe pouted at him with his teary eyes piercing his gaze straight into shen Qingqiu's heart which made it quiver a bit. He suddenly gave in;

"Okay okay... I'll use it. Don't cry."

The expression on his face instantly changed into a puppy face who was very happy.

Shen Qingqiu then got a free time with Luo Binghe alone and could not think of wasting it. So he first started conversing;

"Did you spend last night here with me?" He asked with raised eyebrows as if he really didn't know.

"Yes. We slept on the same bed."

"..." at first he was trying to play him but in the end he got played instead.

"Hahahaha... don't worry Qianbei. We didn't sleep on same bed. I slept on the couch outside." He laughed out seeing shen Qingqiu's troubled reaction and then mumbled in himself, "I couldn't sleep on the bed. You kept twisting and turning all night like a clock."

"Nooooo!! I don't twist and turn" Shen Qingqiu suddenly defended himself. "In fact I'm used to sleep in attention position." He reverted his gaze from the person who was teasing him. Luo Binghe stared at him for a moment and then softly chuckled shaking his head.
