Chapter 042 Red Sandalwood Card
The kiss last night was still like a scene that happened just a few seconds ago, which made Ling Ke's heart turbulent and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
He lay quietly on the bed and recalled the call Qi Feng said to him before going to bed, and repeatedly chewing on the sentence "I like you quite a bit." For the first time, he began to wonder whether Qi Feng would not be as straight as he imagined; or whether Qi Feng could also like him a little bit - the same kind of love as him.
Qi Feng can accept playing couple games with the same sex, accepting touches from the same sex, and even accepting kisses with the same sex... All signs show that Qi Feng can accept men himself.
Of course, Qi Feng insisted on claiming that he was a straight man, but he was more open in this regard, so Ling Ke had nothing to say. After all, he really didn't understand what the straight man was thinking now.
But if the assumption just now comes true, Ling Ke still has one question that cannot be understood - why does Qi Feng want him to play his fake boyfriend?
Everyone said "I like you quite a bit", wouldn't it be better to just confess it? So to a certain extent, Qi Feng still couldn't accept playing with him, so he proposed "pretend"?
That is the stage of "friendship or lovers are not full"...
On this basis, Qi Feng teased him unscrupulously, without considering whether he should be responsible for his own behavior.
...
Thinking of this, Ling Ke felt very uncomfortable.
If he is really a straight man, then no matter how Qi Feng flirts with him, he doesn't care. Anyway, he can't be moved.
But he was not. Not only that, he also secretly fell in love with Qi Feng. Qi Feng's unintentional behavior could be fatal torture for him.
If Qi Feng gave Ling Ke the same "positioning" as he understood, it would be heartbreaking.
Qi Feng said that he had a physical obsession with cleanliness, and Ling Ke was the same.
But in addition to his physical cleanliness, he also has emotional cleanliness—
When he was in high school, he thought Qi Feng was a fickle man, so he completely closed his heart and treated the other party as the object of slandering himself.
When he encountered Qi Feng and Xiao Zhi on a date, he thought to himself: If Qi Feng likes others, then go and like it. I'll stay away from you.
And now, if Qi Feng just treats him as a remedy and shield before meeting true love - then sorry, in this game, I just play with you and will never take it seriously.
He was guarding his psychological defense line. Even if he was abused to level 7, he would never vomit a drop of blood in front of the other side.
After pursing the lips that were kissed by the other party, Ling Ke felt sweet and soreness in his heart...
After all, he still dared not take risks until he confirmed Qi Feng's sincerity by 100%.
Just as I was thinking, the bathroom door opened.
Qi Feng walked out of it and glanced at him lightly: "Are you awake?"
The other party's expression and tone were neither cold nor hot, and he had no reaction after having "close contact" with the "person he liked".
Ling Ke's heart sank and smiled bitterly inwardly - very well, it seems that he is the only one who is thinking about it.
He sat up from the bed with a blank expression and prepared to wear clothes.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded outside: "Qi Feng, Ling Ke, are you in this room?"
It was Yao Jing's voice, Qi Feng was stunned and walked over and opened a crack in the door.
"Did you get up? I sent messages in the group and didn't reply...ah! Your room is so loving!"
Yao Jing saw the layout in their room and stretched out her neck and pushed the door in, wanting to find out.
Qi Feng quickly grabbed the sweater beside the bed and threw it to Ling Ke, and expelled her with a smile: "Go and go, what do you think? Do you still have the reserve as a girl? Ling Ke hasn't gotten up yet!"
Ling Ke, who was still wearing short-sleeved pajamas, was confused in her quilt...
He quickly put on his clothes, grabbed his pants and rushed into the bathroom, and found that the glass in the single shower room was splashed with water droplets.
...Hmm? Qi Feng took a shower just now?
Ling Ke’s brain is messy. What kind of bath should I take in the morning in winter?
After washing up, Qi Feng explained: "Yao Jing came to say hello to us and said that the girl had already packed up and was waiting for us to check out and go to have breakfast together later. We have to get a little faster."
Ling Ke: "Oh..."
The two of them packed up quickly. After a while, the girls came over again. I guess they wanted to visit their rooms after hearing what Yao Jing said.
Dai Yiwei: "Wow, your room is still close to the river. Isn't it too romantic?"
Cen Tong: "Yes, ours is a dark room, and there are no windows. I'm so angry!"
Zhang Wenqin: "It's obvious that the room fee for each person is less than twenty yuan, why do I feel that the conditions are very different..."
Yao Jing: "Haha, don't be envious. When you have a boyfriend, you can live in this kind of couple room."
...
Their discussion was quite normal, but Qi Feng and Ling Ke still felt guilty when they heard words like "boyfriend" and "couple room", as if they had done something shameful here last night...
After checking in, the six of them had a simple breakfast and decided to take a walk.
Especially for girls, their accommodation fees are cheaper than them, and they don’t take a boat, and they still have some spare money. Several people plan to see if there are any cheap accessories and buy them for souvenirs.
Relatively speaking, Qi Feng and Ling Ke are relatively miserable. They ate seven or eight yuan for a breakfast. Now, they only have about twenty yuan left in their hands except for the ticket fee. If they buy anything, they will have no money to eat lunch.
So, when the girls were buying, these two poor guys could only stand at the door of the store, blowing cold wind in desolately.
The girls bought a bunch of small wind chimes in one store, and a folding fan with the silhouette of the ancient town in another store.
Qi Feng followed them. When he saw what they bought, he searched the Internet and quietly told Ling Ke: "That Fengling costs only eight yuan, and they lost money when they bought it... The folding fan was only three yuan and three yuan, but it was sold for fifteen yuan. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... It was huge profit!"
Ling Ke only wanted to laugh when he heard this. He knew that Qi Feng was a bit self-comfortable, but he was still so cute by the other party's words and deeds.
"Let's stop being sour in grapes. Just admit that you don't have money to spend it, right?" Ling Ke said laughably.
"No, no, no, this is not a sour grape mind. Even if I still have money now, I will not buy anything I can buy anywhere. It doesn't make any sense." Qi Feng said seriously.
Ling Ke: "Then what do you want to buy if you have money?"
Qi Feng: "I haven't seen what I particularly want yet, let's talk about it when I see it..."
As we walked, the group passed by a wood carving hall. The door of the restaurant was hung with a plaque with "XX Ancestral Wood Carving". Compared with other shops, the storefront seemed a little simple and the store was deserted. There was only an old man squatting in the shop, quietly carving against a piece of log.
There are several works of him displayed at the door, including large objects such as wooden chairs, wooden stools, and some wooden carved jars and wooden carved boxes.
Although they are all purely handmade, the style is really old and probably can only attract uncle-level customers.
But when Qi Feng walked here, he suddenly couldn't move his foot. He lowered his head and circled around, looking at the things.
The girls happened to walk into a small shop not far away to see the bracelets of ethnic style. Ling Ke accompanied Qi Feng to watch the wood carvings here. He remembered what the other party had just said and asked, "Do you want to buy this?"
Qi Feng picked up a wooden carved bowl and joked: "This bowl is pretty good, why don't I buy one and sell it on the street?"
Ling Ke couldn't help laughing: "What kind of art do you know? Take a photo with someone?" He knew that Qi Feng could play the violin, but Qi Feng didn't bring it.
Qi Feng shook his shoulders: "I have learned a few street dances..."
At this moment, a desolate voice sounded: "This bowl costs 180 yuan."
Qi Feng & Ling Ke: "..."
It turned out that the old man who was working inside was attracted by their patronage and raised his head to answer.
Qi Feng put down the bowl awkwardly, then pretended to touch the wooden box next to him.
As a result, the old man looked at him like this and saw that he touched one, he took the initiative to quote the price: "Four hundred boxes, five hundred wooden jars, and one thousand two chairs..."
Qi Feng trembled and withdrew his hand.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the old man said, "If you sincerely want it, the chair will count you as one thousand dollars."
Qi Feng was in tears. Does he look like a rich man?
"Uncle, I'll take a look..." Qi Feng said weakly.
The old man said kindly: "Then look, be careful." He said that, lowered his head and became busy.
Ling Ke looked at Qi Feng's cold face and endured his smile so much that his stomach felt hungry.
Qi Feng was admiring the wood carving and chatting with the old man: "How long does it take for you to carve such a thing?"
The old man: "It takes three or five days to get a small one, but it takes half a month to get a small one."
Qi Feng opened his mouth and was a little surprised: "That's why I need such a little money, won't I lose it?"
The old man said honestly: "I am a traditional craft supported by the government. I say it is the cultural heritage of our town. I don't understand it either. I don't have to pay the door to rent here. I just sold the raw materials for carving things. I'll pass the time. I won't lose money."
Qi Feng shook his head and sighed: "You are so beautiful, how can you have enough raw materials? At least add 30% of the craftsmanship fee."
The old man smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, no one will buy it. What's the use of carving that is not sold, no matter how good it looks."
Qi Feng: "This is also..."
At this time, several girls who were buying accessories next door poked their heads out, wanting Ling Ke and Qi Feng to go over and help see if the bracelets they picked looked good.
Ling Ke saw that Qi Feng was still talking to the old man, so he went there first. After they finished buying it, he saw that Qi Feng was also coming out of the wood carving shop with joy as if he had gotten some treasure.
Before Ling Ke could ask, Qi Feng came over and reached out to show him as if he was offering treasure.
I saw a flat wooden block lying in his palm, with a line of words carved on it: Lin_K
Ling Ke: "..."
Qi Feng put the wooden sign engraved in his hand and explained with a smile: "Uncle said it was red sandalwood, and he also made a small hole. He could wear a rope as a bracelet or a keychain. He would wear it on his body, and the more he grind it, the brighter it gets..."
Ling Ke's hand trembled, and a heat surged into his heart: "Why did you give it to me? Did you do it yourself?"
Qi Feng: "No, I made one for you. What, didn't you promise you to make up for your birthday gift? Although it only cost twenty yuan, don't dislike it. This is the only money I have left except for the fare to go back."
