Quenching

"That's true. Last year, I even felt like I was wasting time just looking up at the stars. Only heaven knows how much I wanted to play! But now, everything's great, I can play happily. Let me tell you, I listened to all the lessons I had today, and..."

The songs on stage were passionate and inspiring. At the corner of the first floor of the welcome party, Huang Qiaqia held onto the railing and swayed her body to the music.

Huang Qiaqia leaned against the fence in front of her, a smile blooming on her flushed face, like a beautiful rose.

Chen Zhixing stared at the beautiful Huang Qiaqia, his cheeks flushed, his heart pounded, and he reached out his arm to politely put it around Huang Qiaqia's waist from a distance, afraid that she might fall.

As the song became more emotional, Huang Qiaqia became even more moved, swaying her body more violently, seemingly forgetting about her legs.

Chen Zhixing stood up straight, his facial muscles tense, even more nervous that Huang Qiaqia would fall. So he simply grabbed Huang Qiaqia's arm with one hand and directly protected Huang Qiaqia's waist with the other.

In the noisy auditorium, Wanli Fuguang and Wu Haofeng stood on the second floor, clearly seeing their junior's thoughts.

"Young Master, should we expel Chen Zhixing from school?"

Wu Haofeng took out his phone. A message appeared: Chen Zhixing had a million reasons for leaving Kong Xi.

Wanli Fuguang shook his head, his expression calm.

"Why not support an ambitious young man? He might become a pillar of society in the future."

The party ended, and everyone gradually left. Wanli Fuguang and Wu Haofeng slowly walked down the stairs.

A figure suddenly darted in front of Huang Qiaqia, shouting with a dissatisfied expression.

"Why did you leave me behind and run away?"

"We looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you, so we came here."

Xing Songfeng frowned slightly, slammed his cane hard against Huang Qiaqia, and reprimanded him sternly.

"If you're injured, you should rest and recover. Why are you running around like that?"

Huang Qiaqia pushed away his cane, held onto the railing, straightened his chest and raised his head, his eyes filled with indignation.

"What's it to you if I'm watching the welcome party? Don't you even know where I went?"

"I...I had something to do...Besides, why didn't you tell me where you went? I had to look for you everywhere."

Huang Qiaqia straightened his body, leaned forward with all his might, and made a sweeping advance.

“I don’t have your contact information, and I told the people at the restaurant that if you come back, tell them we’re here to see the school’s orientation.”

Xing Songfeng's eyes darted away. He knew he had done something wrong. A thought flashed through his mind...

"Why are you watching the welcome party? It's obvious that Chen Zhixing likes you. He's just making excuses to spend more time with you. Can't you tell that he's interested in you?"

Huang Qiaqia snorted lightly, turned her head, and asked Chen Zhixing righteously.

"do you like me?"

Chen Zhixing, leaning on Huang Qiaqia's cane, shook his head repeatedly.

Huang Qiaqia was full of confidence, head held high and chest out.

"Hmph, you see! Chen Zhixing doesn't like me at all. He's just my little brother, and I'm his boss. You just don't like me. You find fault with me in everything."

"You're right, I do hate you, so what?"

Xing Songfeng tossed his head, his flowing hair and devilishly handsome face revealing a "what can you do to me?" attitude.

“I hate you too. The first meal Wanli Fuguang cooked was originally mine, but you barged in and stole it. Give it back to me.”

Huang Qiaqia was so angry that his teeth itched. He even said that he was fat and ugly. Thinking of this, he clenched his fist tightly and punched Xing Songfeng.

Xing Songfeng smiled contemptuously and cleverly stepped back. Huang Qiaqia missed and almost fell. Chen Zhixing quickly reached out and grabbed Huang Qiaqia's arm.

"My cousin's first meal was cooked, and the first bite was in my stomach. You think you can take it?"

Xing Songfeng smiled slyly. Huang Qiaqia stared at his alluring face, growing angrier the more she looked. She looked around for something to smash Xing Songfeng.

Huang Qiaqia looked closely and saw the crutch. He released the railing, raised the crutch with both hands, took a deep breath, and raised it high. Then, a thought flashed through his mind: this thing can be broken. No way. So he let out a sigh of relief, put down the crutch, but his body swayed and he was about to fall to the ground.

Huang Qiaqia frantically searched for something to grab, but unexpectedly, the next second, she landed steadily in a strong and warm embrace.

"Now that you're here, I'll be leaving."

Chen Zhixing nodded to Wanli Fuguang, picked up the cane, and handed it to Wu Haofeng.

"Please bring Huang Qiaqia here. Huang Qiaqia has some difficulty walking now, and I don't want her to walk too much. I hope she can rest at home. If she has any questions in the future, she can come to my house to ask me anytime."

Wanli Fuguang's gentle tone showed no sign of displeasure.

Huang Qiaqia walked towards him with a proud look, and Chen Zhixing smiled.

"Yes, you can come to my house too. My boyfriend can cook."

Wanli Fuguang affectionately ruffled Huang Qiaqia's hair.

"No need, I've asked enough questions. If you have any further questions, Huang Qiaqia, I'll contact you online!"

"No problem, I'll answer anything you know."

Huang Qiaqia readily agreed, and Chen Zhixing nodded and left silently.

"Do you like that Chen Zhixing? Why are you two exchanging glances?"

Xing Songfeng coldly questioned Huang Qiaqia.

Wu Haofeng sighed, rolled his eyes at Xing Songfeng, and really wanted to punch him hard.

The smile on Huang Qiaqia's face vanished instantly.

"You and he were exchanging glances, weren't you?"

“You don’t like him, yet you came to the welcome party with him.”

Xing Songfeng has found another point of attack and will definitely hold on tight.

Huang Qiaqia raised her voice, since almost everyone had left anyway.

“I was supposed to be the host for the welcome party, but I injured my leg and can’t participate. I can only be an audience member. Chen Zhixing kindly gave me a ride.”

Why should he give it to you?

“I’ve always helped Chen Zhixing. Now that my legs are inconvenient, I came to the welcome party by myself. He was worried about me, so it’s only reasonable for him to express his gratitude by bringing me here.”

"How can you talk such nonsense? He's obviously got his eye on you. Cousin, don't you think so?"

With a slight jerk of his eyebrows, Xing Songfeng could easily tell that Wanli Fuguang liked Huang Qiaqia.

Wanli Fuguang glanced at Wu Haofeng with a languid look.

“I didn’t see that Chen Zhixing liked Huang Qiaqia, and he himself said he didn’t like Huang Qiaqia. Don’t you think so, Wu Haofeng?”

Wu Haofeng immediately nodded. He knew that Chen Zhixing, the piece he had created, was no longer useful.

Xing Songfeng opened his mouth wide and said incredulously after a long while.

"You...you're all blind! Can't you see! Chen Zhixing likes this little brat."

Huang Qiaqia glared angrily at Xing Songfeng.

"Why are you being so unreasonable? You just don't like me, and you even have feelings for me? That's nonsense."

"Yes."

Wanli Fuguang bent down, and Huang Qiaqia lay down on Wanli Fuguang's broad back.

Upon seeing Wanli Fuguang's actions, Xing Songfeng flew into a rage, his eyes blazing with fury. He snatched the cane from Wu Haofeng's hand and smashed it fiercely against Huang Qiaqia.
