Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

8. You Are Quite Caring

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

“Well.” Seeing Wei Qing standing there bolt upright, Yan Chuyang thought he might be a little embarrassed so he hurriedly moved the sofa to the back of Wei Qing, pressed his shoulder and said, “Don’t be restrained. Just make yourself at home. Sit down.”

Wei Qing didn’t expect that he would suddenly press his shoulders, so he sat down straightly and totally sank into the sofa.

A man dressed neatly in suit and tie, with his face full of primness, sank into an orange-look soft sofa.

That looked kind of weird.

“Don’t be so stiff.” Yan Chuyang pinched his shoulder. “No one will sit on a lazy sofa like you do.”

“Go pack your things.” When he recovered his wits, Wei Qing fought down his displeasure and stood up. He smoothed his wrinkled suit and said in a low voice, “No need to take care of me.”

“Alright.” Yan Chuyang shrugged his shoulders. He walked to the coffee table to pour Wei Qing a cup of water and then sent it to him.

“Actually, you came a little early today.”

Looking at the ceramic cup, which had a hand painting of the eldest brother of the Calabash Brothers on it, Wei Qing felt speechless and put it on the cabinet.

“It wasn’t that early.” Wei Qing adjusted his cuff and said, “When I came here, it was 8:15. Didn’t we agree to meet at 8:00 sharp?”

Yan Chuyang went blank for a moment and then said awkwardly, “Sorry. I couldn’t sleep well last night, so I didn’t get up in time today.”

“It’s OK.” Wei Qing raised his hand and looked at his shining watch,”It’s 8:20 now. I’ve booked the flight tickets to Mexico at 10 o’clock. Take your identity card and passport. We’re leaving soon.”

Yan Chuyang’s eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Wei Qing eagerly,”Are we going to get our marriage certificates today?”

“Yes.”

Yan Chuyang exhaled nervously, “Should I buy a suit to wear? After all, getting married is very serious. ”

“No.” Wei Qing glanced at the boy’s slightly narrow shoulders and said, “Your shoulders are narrow. You’ll be better looking in casual clothes.”

‘Better looking?

Is this an indirect way to say that I’m good-looking?’

Yan Chuyang went into the bathroom to wash up while feeling dizzy with joy.

Wei Qing stood in the cramped little room and looked around.

It was small but tidy.

The wall paper was light yellow, and the furniture was simple and casual. What he was standing on was a soft carpet.The decoration of this room made him feel warm.

Wei Qing paced to the window, a drawing board was standing there, on which there was an incomplete painting. It was a painting of a kitten curling up by the fireplace. There were just lines on it; the painting hadn’t been colored yet.

But somehow, when he saw the little kitten shrinking its neck and narrowing its eyes in a languid look, he just felt that this kitten was the self-portrait of its owner.They both looked silly and easy to be fooled.

When he got tired of waiting, a rustling sound like a mouse gnawing at sawdust suddenly came from overhead.

Wei Qing subconsciously glanced backwards. When he saw a little white mouse in a small iron cage hanging above the window, his blood ran cold and he backed up stiffly. What he feared most was rat.

The one easy to be fooled in Wei Qing’s eyes happened to come out of the bathroom just in time to see Wei Qing and the little rat staring at each other. He smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid. It won’t bite.”

Wei Qing pulled his necktie awkwardly, barely maintained his idol image and said, “I’m not afraid. I’m just a little surprised that someone keeps a rat as pet.”

Yan Chuyang came over and shook his head earnestly, “This is not a rat; it’s a lab rat. The rat is harmful to people, and the lab rat benefits people. There’s an essential difference between them.”

Wei Qing snorted, “Still disgusting.”

Yan Chuyang couldn’t agree with him. He took the little rat off the hook and specially raised it to Wei Qing’s eyes, “How could it be disgusting? Look at its pure white fur, its round black eyes, its… ”

“Stay away from me!” For the first time, Wei Qing roared furiously in front of someone else besides his stupid dad.

It must be understood that he usually paid great attention to his deportment.

In Wei Qing’s view, a person who couldn’t even control his emotions would never be sucessful.

Yan Chuyang was shocked by his roar; then he frowned with distress and lowered his voice to comfort him , “Don’t be scared. Sorry, I don’t know you are so afraid of this.”

“I’m not afraid!”

“Alright, alright. Relax, I’ll take it away.” Yan Chuyang said, turning around to hang the little rat back; then he looked at Wei Qing consolingly, “It’s OK now. I have hung it up.”

Wei Qing snorted to cover up his embarrassment, “There are so many kinds of pet. Why do you have to keep a rat?”

Yan Chuyang clicked his tongue and said, “There’s something destined between this rat and me. Our biology teacher asked us to kill the little rat by lethal injection, but my hand trembled while injecting and missed its heart, so it survived. However, due to the medicine injected, it lost its appetite. Feeling guilty, I brought it home.”

Wei Qing’s twitched the corner of his mouth, “You are quite caring.”

“Well, kind of.” Yan Chuyang smacked his lips and said, “I’m going to get its stomach well and then give it another lethal injection. I’ll see if my hand will tremble again.”

Wei Qing, “…”
