Falling for you

Chapter 6

Qingyuan smiled. "Stop kidding." Qingyuan said pushing Lanying slightly away from his body. "They're gone, we can go home." Qingyuan added calmly. Lanying who suddenly hugged Qingyuan made Qingyuan startled.

"I know this sounds weird. I've only known you for a few days. But I really like you. Will you be my boyfriend?" Lanying asked suddenly. Qingyuan fell silent. "I can't accept you." Honest Qingyuan. "I can wait for you." Lanying said letting go of the hug. "I can't promise you." Qingyuan said flatly. Lanying just smiled sadly.

The two of them were very alert when they came out, afraid that someone would still be waiting for them outside. After making sure everything was safe then they left. That night, Qingyuan did not sleep well at all. Qingyuan remembered what his grandfather had said when he was a child.

#FLASHBACK ON#

A closed room but neatly arranged. A painting and an altar  have old man and also a child. The little boy knelt before the altar.

"You know he is also the same person as drinking heartless poison. When the poison reacts, the pain is unbearable. Even though he died because other poisons, heartless poison is just as torturous. He can never be with the person he loves. A Yuan, don't you fall love otherwise the poison will torment you till the day you die." Qingyuan's grandfather said, Zhang Yuan.

"My heart hasn't felt anything since my parents died. My heart died with them so I don't think falling in love is a viable option for me." Little Qingyuan said. "You're still small, you won't understand now. After you grow up you will understand what I mean today." Zhang Yuan said sadly.

"You said the person in this painting also has the same name as me. My face and his are also similar right? Was he really hurt when he died?" Little Qingyuan asked. "He said he didn't want to meet his loved ones in the future. According to him, meeting to separate was not a good thing." Zhang Yuan explained. "Chief, someone wants to meet." said someone outside.

Zhang Yuan came out leaving little Qingyuan alone there. "You're the one who appears in my dreams right? I will stay away from the person in your dream. I also won't fall in love with him. Because basically, Your destiny and mine are the same." Little Qingyuan said flatly.

#FLASHBACK OFF#

Qingyuan stared at the night sky silently. "Grandfather, I know. What did you mean at that time? But this story, I won't let it continue for the sake of my survival." Qingyuan said flatly.

The next day, when Lanying wakes up. He only found breakfast that seemed to be made early in the morning and a note.

[Heat before eating.]

---qingyuan & haoran dorms---

Qingyuan was doing his usual desk work when Haoran woke up. "What time did you come?" haoran asked sleepily. "6am. I saw you were still sleeping so I let you. I just got back from buying breakfast." Qingyuan said tidying up his book.

Haoran nodded and went to clean himself up before eating with Qingyuan. "How?" asked Haoran. "Not bad." Qingyuan said casually. "I heard the professor has told you to prepare your thesis." Haoran said curiously.

"Yeah, he said he wanted to send me away as soon as possible. I gave him the thesis title yesterday with just one glance and straight. He intended to kick me out." Qingyuan said casually. "You staying here just disturb the peace of class." Haoran teases. Qingyuan rolled his eyes lazily.

"After your graduation, where are you going?" asked Haoran. "I'm going back to visit my grandfather for a while." Obviously Qingyuan. "An antidote for the poison you drank has been found?" asked Haoran. "In process, maybe in a bit." Qingyuan said casually.

"You can still relax. It's a matter of life stopping so relaxed." Haoran said annoyed. "Apart from being calm, what can I do? Anxiety and anger won't solve any problem, it only complicates matters." Qingyuan said calmly. Haoran looked sullen. What Qingyuan said was true so Haoran couldn't say anything more.

The two went to university together and attended classes together after it was over. Qingyuan went to the library and started working on his thesis seriously. Qingyuan was busy picking up books when his body was pushed against a shelf. Qingyuan's two hands were held onto the shelf.

"You are mine. How dare you let someone else touch you?" Jianyu said angrily. "Let me go before you regret it." Qingyuan said coldly. “You're in a corner. How…” Jianyu's words were cut off when Qingyuan's round kick hit Jianyu's waist.

The grip on the hand is automatically released. Qingyuan looked coldly at Jianyu. "There is a limit to my patience. Today is the final limit." Qingyuan said coldly. Qingyuan took the book he needed and walked away.

Jianyu did not give up and followed Qingyuan. "You can choose me. Why did you choose that weak man?" Jianyu protested. Qingyuan didn't seem to listen and continued to write the things he needed. “I can give you anything you want. Stop…” Jianyu was cut off by Lanying.

"I don't think you can. What he needs most right now is quiet and you are disturbing his peace now." Sarcastic Lanying was annoyed. "What are you here for? Get lost." Jianyu said shooing Lanying away. "I saw my boyfriend, no need for your permission." Lanying said kissing Qingyuan's right cheek.

Qingyuan stared at Lanying smiling for a while then continued with his task. Jianyu looked at that angrily. "What good is this man compared to me?" Jianyu shouted angrily. "If you can't stay in the library then get out!" the librarian shouted at Jianyu. "Watch you!" Jianyu threatens Lanying. Lanying seemed indifferent to Jianyu's threats.

Jianyu had no choice but to storm out in anger. With that the library calmed down again. Qingyuan carried on with his work quietly and Lanying glanced at him every now and then as he did his work.
