There is no Redemption for A Scum Villain

Chapter 33

Yue Qingyuan entered his office after Shen Qingqiu. Shen Qingqiu was still holding his hand as he walked to the small cupboard next to the desk standing by the window. As soon as they reached this one specific cupboard, Yue Qingyuan felt a slight panic rise inside of him. That was exactly the cupboard where he had thrown that booklet the day prior and if Shen Qingqiu looked in there and saw it, this situation might get rather uncomfortable.

Quickly he loosened his hand from the other's grip and dashed towards the cupboard, covering it with his body. Shen Qingqiu pulled up an eyebrow in confusion as Yue Qingyuan stood there, looking like a bunny having to face off against a fox.

"You can't look in there!" Yue Qingyuan said loudly as his eyes darted around the room.

"Why not?" Shen Qingqiu asked.

"Because...there, uhh..."

"Come on, Qi-ge. Don't make it difficult now," Shen Qingqiu said in a sulky voice, "I need what's in that cupboard."

"Please don't look in there," Yue Qingyuan begged.

"Qi-ge there's nothing in there that could disturb me," Shen Qingqiu promised.

"But-"

"Come, come, step aside," Shen Qingqiu urged and  slightly pushed against Yue Qingyuan to get him out of the way.

Yue Qingyuan didn't budge in the slightest. He stood as if his feet were rooted to the ground. Shen Qingqiu looked at him for a very long time before he came up with an idea that would get the man moving. With a nonchalant look on his face Shen Qingqiu reached around Yue Qingyuan and lightly swatted the man's behind.

This resulted in Yue Qingyuan first freezing up and after a second hit he yelped and literally jumped out of the way.

"I don't get what was so difficult now," Shen Qingqiu commented and stepped towards the cupboard.

Yue Qingyuan watched with fear as Shen Qingqiu opened the doors. A small booklet tumbled out and landed right in front of Shen Qingqiu's feet, causing him to let out a surprised noise. Yue Qingyuan whimpered when he saw that the booklet had opened as it fell and coincidentally had exposed one of the more graphic pages.

"I swear I can explain!" Yue Qingyuan said quickly.

"Explain what?" Shen Qingqiu asked and picked up the booklet, grinning for a moment as he saw the page before closing it again "You mean this? No need for explanation."

He walked over to the bookshelf and placed the booklet there instead. Yue Qingyuan's eyes widened when he realized that Shen Qingqiu had put it exactly in the spot where it used to stay before Yue Qingyuan had taken it out. So Shen Qingqiu had known about this all along? Why hadn't he said a word? Or rather, why would he still do things with his friend that were clearly too intimate if he knew that the other was a cutsleeve? And why had he just touched his butt?!

Shen Qingqiu went back to the cupboard and pulled out a big box woven from strips of bamboo.

"Come with me," he said and started walking into the direction of their bedroom.

Yue Qingyuan had no other choice but to follow after. Shen Qingqiu placed the box on the bed and sat beside it. He patted the bed next to him waiting for Yue Qingyuan to take a seat. When he finally did, Shen Qingqiu smiled at him with a look in his eyes that Yue Qingyuan had never seen before. That look was enough to make Yue Qingyuan think that his heart was going to jump right out of his chest.

"I originally wanted for you to find it out yourself, but it's taking so long, I can't wait any longer," Shen Qingqiu said.

"Find out what?" Yue Qingyuan asked in confusion.
