After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories Chapter 88

Chapter 88

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

Rong Qiu’s second wave of blossoming flowers was flourishing exceptionally well. Since Qin Muye trimmed the initial blooms, these new shoots had sprouted vigorously as if they had been given highly nutritious fertilizer. A spring rain and a week of sunshine made the new flower buds swell rapidly, giving Rong Qiu a lot of face.

Rong Qiu, who was simply watching, was not at all inferior to the potted plants that Qin Muye had focused on before.

Having so many O Star roses all at once made Rong Qiu ecstatic.

He went to see them every day.

Even Rong Qin did the same. Qiuqiu’s flowers were his flowers, and Rong Qin also quickly flourished along with the flowers. He even became a crazy younger brother con, posting pictures to his friends’ circle every now and then.

[Rong Qin, the Number One Crazy Younger Brother con of the Thirteenth Military District: Little brother’s flowers are growing so well this year~]

[Rong Qin, the Number One Crazy Younger Brother con of the Thirteenth Military District: I counted them, there are so many… too many to count!]

Recently, Rong Qiu had been posting updates about roses, so he habitually ignored another regular visitor in the villa—Qin Muye.

Seeing his brother’s video, Rong Qiu felt embarrassed and whispered something in Qin Muye’s arms. Qin Muye embraced him with one hand while swiftly handling documents on his tablet with the other. When he heard Rong Qiu mentioning the flowers outside, Qin Muye chuckled softly, “They’re all your flowers, even if you say otherwise.”

“That’s not what I meant. These flowers were obviously planted by you.”

“Hmm?”

“I mean, they were planted by you. Initially, I just put a few seeds in the soil, and later, you fertilized and changed the soil.”

“The flowers are yours, Qiuqiu is mine.”

Rong Qiu pursed his lips and smiled.

Rong Qiu suddenly thought of something. While scrolling through Rong Qin’s photos, he quietly pulled on Qin Muye’s hand, “I still remember when you came over in the middle of the night to change the seedlings, your expression was like that of a leader caught red-handed for doing something wrong.”

Rong Qiu spoke proudly.

Midway through, Rong Qin came over to drink water.

Seeing them so intimate, he smiled too, “So close with each other, but I don’t see you hugging your big brother all day long.”

Rong Qiu:)

Rong Qiu didn’t know that since he and Qin Muye got back together, many of his suppressed little temperaments had emerged. Even Rong Qin said that he hadn’t realized Rong Qiu could be so coquettish.

After teasing Rong Qiu for a while, Rong Qin sat on the single sofa next to them, holding a cup of water, “By the way, Zhou Dongqi invited us to dinner tonight.”

“Did Dr. Zhou move?”

“Yes, just move next door to us.” 

After thinking for a moment, Rong Qiu said, “Did Dr. Zhao buy this house for Zhao Nanchen?” 

“It’s something like that, but I think they both will live here. He mentioned that he might want to move the psychological clinic from the First Military District to here. He said there are more people with psychological issues here, so the development would be better.” 

Rong Qiu responded with a dry “Oh.” Although Dr. Zhao said so, Rong Qiu still felt that it wasn’t worth it. The First Military District was the wealthiest district, from the military to the civilians, they all had money. The development would be better in the First Military District. 

But it wasn’t something he should worry about. 

In the evening, Rong Qin and others visited with gifts. 

Zhao Dongqi, in the kitchen, was cooking. Zhao Nanchen opened the door, wearing a cool black and white casual outfit, with carefully styled hair that seemed to have a mind of its own under the bright light. Seeing them, his already smiling mouth widened even further, “Brother Rong Qin! Brother Little Qiu! Brother Qin!” 

Rong Qin handed over the gifts. Three pairs of slippers were already arranged at the entrance, and they weren’t disposable slippers. 

Seeing Rong Qin staring at the slippers, Zhao Nanchen explained with a grin, “My brother picked them. He said we’re all friends, not guests, and you’ll definitely come over often in the future, so he prepared these slippers.” 

Indeed, they were all friends, not to mention that Rong Qin and Zhao Dongqi had known each other for over ten years. Considering that Rong Qin knew Zhao Nanchen before meeting Qin Zexi, they had known each other for quite a while. It was quite nostalgic to think that back then, Rong Qin had a prickly personality, scratching at everyone, including Zhao Nanchen. It was truly rare to have real friends considering Rong Qin’s early irritable nature. 

To celebrate the Zhao brothers’ housewarming, Zhao Dongqi made an exception and lifted Zhao Nanchen’s alcohol ban today. 

Rong Qiu looked eagerly at Rong Qin and Qin Muye, and they both smiled in unison, “If you want to drink, go ahead, Qiuqiu.” 

It wasn’t that Rong Qin and Qin Muye were strict, but Rong Qiu felt embarrassed himself. In the previous celebration of the successful bandit suppression, he and Zhao Nanchen had both drunk too much at his house. The sudden competitive desire led the two of them to start arguing about the double tomb they had bought earlier in front of a table full of people.

Rong Qiu: My double grave has an excellent location, nestled by the mountains and water, with good feng shui and a high-end design for the tombstone. My lover and I will definitely enjoy eternal happiness together in the next life!

Zhao Nanchen: My brother and I have a double grave facing north and south, with square-shaped good feng shui. My brother and I will surely be like a dragon and phoenix among people in the next life!

Rong Qiu was fine, but Rong Qin and Qin Muye found the slightly tipsy Rong Qiu exceptionally candid and cute. Zhao Nanchen, on the other hand, due to being too “filial” after drinking, ended up getting a beating from Zhao Dongqi on the spot.

Everyone was satisfied today since they could drink.

There was still a table full of dishes, with sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy dishes other than the central hot pot.

Rong Qin was particularly happy, the spicier the food, the happier he was. With the temperature in the teens in the spring, the indoor environment was very comfortable. Both Rong Qin and Rong Qiu were prone to sweating, so after a few sips of hot soup and some alcohol, along with the bubbling hot pot, they were the first to start sweating profusely.

During dinner, the TV projection turned on.

Qin Zexi’s death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, which was quite common in the Federation. Most cases ended up like Qin Zexi’s, with the death sentence being commuted to life imprisonment.

Seeing the news of Qin Zexi’s commutation, everyone felt inexplicably conflicted.

On one hand, they wished he would die, but on the other hand, Qin Zexi’s past contributions were not shallow and his subsequent social dangers were not insignificant. Fortunately, the news quickly shifted to the next item, which happened to be the follow-up report on the corruption scandal involving federal officials.

When Qin Muye reported these people, he never expected to bring down these federal vermin all at once, but the situation escalated. With the help of some influential individuals, the incident lasted for a month and was trending on social media every day. Although the federal government tried to suppress it, various strange terms still trended, thanks to the efforts of internet users. This was the genuine voice of public opinion.

Zhao Dongqi cooked a lot of lamb in the hot pot while saying, “A Star is currently under a lot of pressure. Many betas and omegas around my clinic gathered to revolt, but they were quickly suppressed by the federal army.”

Qin Muye knew about this, but Rong Qin and Rong Qiu were still unaware.

Rong Qin picked up a large piece of lamb but didn’t eat it. He just put it in the oil dish to cool off and said, “I didn’t expect the betas to stand up, but the federal government has such a nature. It’s been a month, and besides making those people resign and investigating them, I haven’t seen any other actions from them. They haven’t even issued a public statement.”

Zhao Dongqi smiled, “Nanchen and I plan to go on a trip. Do you want to join us?”

Although he said “us,” Zhao Dongqi was clearly looking at Rong Qin.

Rong Qin had wanted to go out for a while. Hearing Zhao Dongqi’s invitation, he agreed immediately, “Sure.”

But he glanced at Rong Qiu, “Is Qiuqiu going?”

Rong Qiu looked at Qin Muye, who said, “If Qiuqiu wants to go, then we’ll go.”

But Rong Qiu shook his head, “No, my progress on the design drawings has been too slow recently. It’s almost the end of the month, and I need to catch up.”

Qin Muye squeezed his hand under the table.

Rong Qiu gave him a glance. It’s not because I want to be alone with you.

After returning from Zhao’s house, Rong Qiu and Qin Muye arrived home within two minutes of walking under the moonlight. Rong Qin was still discussing where to go with Zhao Dongqi, so Rong Qiu used drawing as an excuse to return home first.

As soon as they entered the hallway and before changing their shoes, Rong Qiu was pressed against the door by the alpha. “Why are you in such a hurry to be alone with me after dinner, Qiuqiu?”

Rong Qiu reached out and poked the man’s chest, but didn’t budge.

!!

What was he made of? He was thicker and harder than him.

Rong Qiu retracted his hand defiantly, “Who said that? Don’t be conceited.”

Qin Muye buried his head in Rong Qiu’s neck, his breath heavy and warm. With this action, Qin Muye pulled Rong Qiu onto the sofa.

Rong Qiu’s neck was still itchy from the man’s head.

But he didn’t push his head away.

Qin Muye deliberately asked him something, with many intimate gestures. Either he pinched his ear or kissed his collarbone. Rong Qiu blushed from the alpha’s various actions, even though they had been intimate so many times before, he couldn’t help but blush.

With no one else at home, Qin Muye became more unrestrained.

Especially after changing positions.

The flexible and fair waist, the smooth lines of the buttocks, and the pair of legs folded on Qin Muye’s lap swayed lightly along with the calves due to the man’s skilled and leisurely hand movements. Rong Qiu’s eyes closed completely, and his breathing became short.

He couldn’t help it and nestled in the man’s arms, telling him about the news of Qin Zexi constantly playing behind Zhao Dongqi’s house, which was why he was in a hurry to bring Qin Muye back.

Knowing the cause and effect, Qin Muye’s dark pupils suppressed his wildness, but he laughed heartily from the bottom of his heart. With his head buried in Rong Qiu’s neck, his breath stopped for a few moments due to laughter. He spoke candidly yet seriously, “Qiuqiu, I’m not that fragile.”

“He…after all, he’s still your brother.”

Qin Muye smiled helplessly, pinched Rong Qiu’s fingertips extra carefully, but not forcefully. Such a bluff made Rong Qiu even more arrogant. Rong Qiu lifted the man’s hand and, seeing the man’s confident appearance, blinked and bit a circle of red teeth marks on the man’s wrist.

Just as Rong Qin came back from Zhao’s house and took off his shoes, he couldn’t be happier.

“Tsk, marking territory like a little puppy?”

Just this sentence wasn’t enough. Rong Qin added, “Qiuqiu, why don’t you act cute with your big brother like this? Come on, bite your brother, and I’ll go show off online~”

Rong Qiu replied embarrassedly, “I’m not acting cute anymore, I’ve been very fierce and ferocious lately.”

“Oh~”

Imitating Rong Qiu’s tone, Rong Qin gave him a thumbs up, “Of course, Qiuqiu is very fierce. Otherwise, how could Qin Muye, such a fierce S-rank alpha, be held tightly by you~”

The two brothers had their back-and-forth, and Qin Muye seemed to not mind the extra teeth marks on his hand. He even wanted to imitate Rong Qin’s manner and take a picture as a memento.

But he didn’t. He only flicked the teeth marks on his wrist.

Qiuqiu wasn’t fierce at all, he was clearly adorable.
