Chapter 49: The Huge Psychological Gap

  Until the car drove out of the city, I kept asking myself why I was doing such a stupid thing. Suddenly, I realized that the silly things those lovers used to do, which I had ridiculed before, were now almost ruthlessly appearing in my life one by one.

  When the toll station with "Mudanjiang welcomes you" appeared in my vision, it was already over 10 o'clock at night. I took out my phone and dialed Zhang Yi's number, detailing my crazy behavior to her and asking for her cooperation. Zhang Yi's reaction did not disappoint me, still being surprised and suspicious as always, only believing me after who-knows-how-many affirmations that I wasn't tricking her, then telling me they were staying at the Beishan Hotel, with Qin Ke living in room 407. So under my repeated inquiries, I stumbled and staggered to find it, getting off the car when it was almost 11 o'clock.

  I rented a room near where Qin Ke Yi lived and after entering the room, I gave her a call.

  "Hello......" Qin Ke's tired voice came from the phone.

  "Are you asleep?"

  "Hmm... after sitting in the car for a whole day, I'm so tired!" Qin Ke said softly, as if afraid of waking up the people in the same room.

  "Are you praying to God?!" I suddenly asked Qin Ke with a smile.

  "Are you praying to become a pig? No! I'm afraid it might actually come true!"

  "Hehe, you can't bear to part with me!?"

  "Hehe! I'm afraid that once you turn into a pig, no one will cook for me anymore!"

  "Have you prayed to God for me to appear before you tonight?"

  "No! I'm so glad I haven't seen you for a few days! I'm thrilled to death! How could you still do such a stupid prayer!"

  "Sigh! Why does it always go against my wishes!? You didn't want to see me today, but God arranged for me to come anyway!" I deliberately sighed and said to Qin Ke with a pretended helplessness.

  "What did you say!?" Qin Ke suddenly raised his voice a few decibels, saying in surprise, perhaps realizing that the people in the same room were sleeping, so he changed to a low and slightly tense tone to ask me, "Say it again!? Where are you?"

  "I came out from Zhang Wei's place today, walked a few steps, and suddenly everything went black. Then I found myself in a room, all dizzy and confused. When I finally came to my senses, a deep voice boomed in my ear, 'You are now in Room 411 of Beishan Hotel in Mudanjiang. There's an idiot next door named Qin Keyi who really wants to see you. Call her right away!' So I called you in a daze."

  "You... you're in Mudanjiang right now!" Qin Ke said with an incredulous tone.

  "Ah! Beishan Hotel room 411! If you want to come see me, my door is always open for you!"

  "You... how did you get here!? Did you take the train?" Qin Ke seemed to still be somewhat disbelieving his ears.

  "I've said it before, I was sent by God!"

  "Can't you be serious for once?!"

  "I came in Zhang Wei's car."

  "Wait for me! I'll be right there!" Qin Ke Yi said before hastily hanging up the phone. And at this moment, I started fantasizing about Qin Ke Yi rushing towards me with abandon and crying tears of joy when she sees me.

  When girls get excited, it's also when their brains get muddled, so if a guy has any ideas, apart from using underhanded tactics like getting her drunk, he can also take advantage of her excitement to get closer. Just as I was considering whether to take advantage of Qin Ke Yi's excitement to get more intimate with her, the sound of knocking on the door rang out, and I quickly rushed to the door, opened it, and Qin Ke Yi stood at the entrance wearing a camisole.

  I quickly adjusted my mindset and struck a pose suitable for receiving an embrace, waiting for the fantasy scene to unfold. But unexpectedly, Qin Ke Yi didn't make a move, and instead seemed to be staring at me with some anger.

  "Hmm...? Not going to give me a hug?"

  "Are you crazy?! It's so late and you're still driving around!!" Qin Ke yelled, punching my shoulder hard.

  No warm and enthusiastic hug, no tears of excitement, but a hard punch and angry scolding after all the hardships. Although I also knew that there was a certain gap between fantasy and reality, the contrast was so great that it was difficult for me to accept, and a small fire of anger slowly burning in my heart was also reasonable.

  "Right! I'm stupid! I'm so stupid that I ran all the way here!?" I said to Qin Ke in a disappointed tone, then turned around and walked into the house, took out the birthday cake I brought for her from Harbin, and handed it over to her. "Happy Birthday!...I'm leaving!" After Qin Ke took the cake, I bid her farewell calmly and walked out the door.

  "Hey... where are you going!!" Qin Ke Yi called out from behind me.

  "I'm leaving, of course! There are people here who don't want me to come, what am I still doing here?" I said and continued walking out. At this time, a sound of something falling on the ground suddenly came from behind, just as I reacted that it was the cake in Qin Ke Yi's hand that fell on the ground, Qin Ke Yi had already hugged me tightly from behind. "Fool! I'm worried about you! What if something happens to you on the road so late?" Qin Ke Yi said softly while hugging me. The anger accumulated earlier dissipated due to Qin Ke Yi's hug and words, and I suddenly turned around and tightly wrapped my arms around Qin Ke Yi.

  "Really! I miss you so much!" I hugged Qin Ke Yi tightly and said emotionally.

  "I miss you too!" Qin Ke Yi said softly in my ear with a deep and emotional tone, these words made me hold him even tighter, so we just stood there hugging each other tightly in the corridor.

  "Let's go inside! I'm afraid the teacher will come out and meet us!" So I let go of Qin Ke Yi, holding her hand and walking into the room.

  "I want to eat cake! Help me cut a piece!" Qin Ke jumped onto the bed as soon as she entered the house, saying this to me with a spoiled tone.

  "It seems that you want me to stay and serve you!" I said, opening the cake, cutting a piece for Qin Ke, handing it to her, and sitting down beside her, watching her eat the cake.

  "Mmm! Delicious!" Qin Ke said with her mouth wrapped around the butter on her finger.

  "How old are you, and yet you're still making a mess!" I said as I pulled out a tissue from my pocket to wipe Qin Ke's mouth clean.

  "Don't wipe!!" Qin Ke pushed away the hand I was using to wipe her mouth, and suddenly used her butter-filled mouth to kiss my face, then rubbed it again.

  "Hehe! Now it's clean, right!!" Qin Ke Yi said with a pleased expression.

  "'Just coming and not going is also impolite!' I'll go back!" As soon as I said that, I started smearing butter on my mouth. Qin Ke saw the scene and immediately realized what was about to happen, so she let out an "Ah!" and jumped up from bed, running while shouting, "Pervert! Don't come over!"

  After a symbolic chase and resistance, Qin Ke was obediently subdued by me, and we fell onto the bed together, deeply kissing each other...
