Chapter 59: Transfer Station

The bed was empty. The night outside could faintly be seen through the curtains.
The blankets on the bed was messy, as if someone had just slept in it. It even made one feel that if they reached over and touched it, there would still be some lingering warmth.
Everything had remained just like how it was when Song Qinglan saw it in the bubble world.

Song Qinglan stood there, his heart beating violently.
In an instant, his ears were filled with the pounding of his heart. Blood seemed to rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He was hot all over. He finally figured out what was going on.

His heart had never been moved in his entire life.
The first time he felt this, the other party turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined when he was younger. Regardless of whether it was the appearance, personality or gender, it was all different.
However, as soon as he received this signal from his heart, the feeling surged inside him like a tide. It was so turbulent that he was caught off guard, but it was also something that he felt was normal. What different? It clearly was something that should’ve been like this in the first place.

As it turned out, the irritation and dissatisfaction he felt towards Ji Yushi as well as the trust and concern, it wasn’t without reason.

Fuck.
Song Qinglan was annoyed by how slow he was. At the same time, he felt a stronger kind of irritation.
Unable to say it, unable to do anything; just standing there was enough to make his body numb and his palms hot.

“Cap Song.”
Ji Yushi’s voice travelled over.

Song Qinglan froze for a moment. At almost the same time as the moment he heard the voice, he had reflexively closed the door with a ‘bang’.

All those shameful hidden desires had been concealed away. The blood that had rushed to the top of his head seemed to have started to flow back.
Reality had pulled his senses back in an instant.

Song Qinglan calmly turned his head. He pretended that nothing had happened.
He saw Ji Yushi come over from the other end of the corridor. The two were only a dozen of steps apart.

It was unknown if it was because of the impact of his realisation just now but his thoughts became clearer. The Ji Yushi at this moment reminded Song Qinglan of the moment he first met him at the Tiangqiong Jiang City branch.
At that time, Ji Yushi stood before a floor-to-ceiling window. With his back against the dazzling lights, that calm and cold look of his was difficult to forget.
But at this moment, even in the dark corridor and without any proper lighting, Ji Yushi’s cold temperament still made it hard for one to look away.

Reaching Song Qinglan, Ji Yushi stopped, “What are you doing standing in front of the door?”
Song Qinglan, “…….”

The difference between them was half a head. Song Qinglan was too tall and once closer, Ji Yushi could feel a sense of oppression.
The same was true this time too.
Song Qinglan’s expression at this moment was still the same but Ji Yushi somehow felt that the oppressiveness was stronger than usual. Compared to before, the current Song Qinglan seemed a little daunting. It was quite confusing.

Since he already knew the other party’s behaviour and habits, Ji Yushi didn’t step back and just calmly stood in place with one hand in his trouser pocket, “Is there anything inside?”

Song Qinglan answered faintly, “Nothing. Just the room I used when I was a child.”

Ji Yushi’s eyes moved slightly. He asked curiously, “Your room as a child? Can I take a look?”

“……” Song Qinglan spoke stiffly, “There’s nothing to see. It’s all toys.”
He appeared expressionless but internally he was trying to figure out what he should do if Ji Yushi insisted on going in.
