Chapter 11 - The Prince and the Frog 11

K City. A party is being held in a private mansion in the south of the city. The reason is that the Fang eldest young master who has been missing for 18 years has finally returned home.

The Fang family is not a small family. It is said that 18 years ago, they were on equal footing with the Qin family but they have disappeared for a long time. It seems they have been working hard abroad, 5 years ago they suddenly broke into K City aggressively. Now they have an empire industry.

The Fang family now is not the same one as before.

At this time, Qin Lang was dragged to the backyard by Ye Qian in a black suit with a blank expression.

Qin Lang looked around a little bit dreamy: “Young master Qian?”

Ye Qian laughed out loud showing his white teeth, “Young master Qin, I have not seen you for a long time, I trust you have been well since we last met!”

“Oh my god…” Qin Lang was speechless, his expression was even more excited than Ye Qian. “I didn’t expect…How could it feel like a dream? Look at you. You used to be a young master that suddenly went bankrupt and became a poor child. Being poor for two years, your parents suddenly found you and you suddenly became a prince! Ahhh! I can’t believe it! It’s like a novel! Where are your parents? I mean, your adoptive father, they…”

“They’re my parents too.” Ye Qian smiled. “They are doing well now. I will go visit them every week, both sides agreed.”

“That’s good…” Qin Lang didn’t know what to say. It seems that the shockwave has not passed yet.

Ye Qian looked at Qin Lang with a small smile. The words that have been brewing in his throat haven’t come out yet when he heard Qin Lang say: “I’m so happy for you…”

“Qin Lang…” he suddenly doesn’t want to wait until after the college entrance exam to say some words.

But he wasn’t able to say it out either.

The Fang family servants hurried over from the direction of the mansion.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Qian asked the man.

The man replied: “It seems that there was a conflict between President Qin and President Fang. President Qin is going to take young master Qin to leave early so I came to inform young master Qin…”

Qin Lang was at a loss but still followed the man. He turned back and waved to Ye Qian: “Then I’ll go first…”

Ye Qian was stunned. After trotting twice to catch up with him, in a low voice he said: “I’ll see you off.”

“Okay…” Qin Lang bent his two beautiful eyebrows. There was no more talking along the way.

A wealthy family like them, if the adult has conflict, they, as the juniors, will inevitably be asked by the adult to alienate the other party child.

Ye Qian also knows. Along the way, he frequently looked at the young man’s side profile, his tensed jaw revealed his unease.

A little further away, Qin Lang saw his father standing outside the mansion of the Fang family. With a dark and extremely unpleasant face, his deep gazes swept across Qin Lang and Ye Qian, a snort came out of his nostrils.

“Dad.” Qin Lang calls out and walks over toward him reluctantly.

The car has stopped in front of father Qin. He waited for Qin Lang to get close, with a neither loud nor soft voice, he said: “You are not allowed to interact with Fang family’s kids in the future!”

“Dad…” Qin Lang looked at his dad in disbelief. His voice was shocked and aggrieved, he seemed to say something then got into the car. Ye Qian didn’t hear it clearly, he could only watch the car leave the gate of the house.

Qin Lang’s father. Qin Lang is not allowed to be friends with him…

Ye Qian lowered his head, a little uncomfortable. Adult conflict, why involve them?

Ye Qian returned to the mansion. There are many people inside that he doesn’t know and those that came to greet him act so familiar as if they had been friends for many years, hypocritical and flattering.

Oh, there are also a few acquaintances. Han Han, Chen Ziyu, and several other classmates from wealthy families in their class. They all smiled at him, really flattering.

He was poor before. Although these people did not express their disdain and contempt for him, they all thought so in their heart. Those that dare to say and not ashamed to say it out loud was only Qin Lang.

He looked at them. It just feels so fake.

Ye Qian didn’t want to pay attention to them anymore. He told his mother that he was a little drunk and went back to his room, shutting out all the voices that were celebrating and complimenting outside the door.

The room was big and spacious and also very empty.

Ye Qian walked to the closet. There is a full-length mirror inlaid with delicate patterns on the large wardrobe, he looked at his reflection. Compared to two years ago, he was now dressed more luxurious but the reflection in the mirror was still the same as two years ago, just as lonely.

— —He really miss Qin Lang. What is Qin Lang doing now? Is he home yet? Did he have a fight with his father? Will he explode again?

Ye Qian didn’t change his clothes before laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, just letting his thoughts wander.

A melodious song suddenly rang out in this somewhat empty room.

Ye Qian was stunned for two seconds before remembering that it seemed to be the ringtone of his new mobile phone. He hurriedly took out his cell phone, the word ‘Qin Lang’ appeared on the wide screen.

“Yi, pick up so fast?” Qin Lang was holding the phone in one hand and unbuttoning his shirt with the other, his tone sounded relaxed. “There are so many people in your house, I thought you wouldn’t hear it.”

“No, I am in my room.” Ye Qian said. He himself didn’t know how happy the expression on his face was at the moment. “Are you home now? What are you doing?”

“It’s been a while since I got home,” Qin Lang took off his jacket, making some rustling noises. “I’m undressing, going to take a shower in a while. And you, young master Qian?”

Ye Qian laughed twice. I don’t dare to say that I was imagining you naked in the bath.

“When I finished washing, let’s play games together?”

Ye Qian wanted to tease him, let’s take a bath together and play games together, but he resisted it and simply replied: “Okay, I’m waiting for you.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qian opened the game he downloaded a few days ago on his laptop. Hearing Qin Lang’s voice, all those worries from before seem to have dissipated for the time being. At least for now Qin Lang was still willing to interact with him.

He is rich now so he doesn’t have to go out to work. During winter vacation, he could ask Qin Lang to go to the sports field together, they can ride horses and shoot. He can invite him to dinner without him having to swap his dishes for those unpalatable dishes.

Ye Qian thought that these things can be done one by one, unfortunately, he still miscalculated.

Winter break is coming soon, Qin Lang still failed to get first place in the test. Ye Qian didn’t get first place in the test, first place is Chen Ziyu.

Qin Lang never went out to play with Ye Qian once because the Fang family targeted the Qin family in a very high-profile manner. The industries under the Qin family were weakened and harvested one by one. The entire Qin Group is covered with dark clouds. Father Qin and mother Qin also went home late every day.

No matter how much Qin Lang wanted to play with Ye Qian, they couldn’t now. Business is like a battlefield, the Qin family and Fang family are now clearly enemies. The son of the enemy, how could they be friends casually?

If Qin Lang really laughed and played with Ye Qian all day long, he would probably be seen as heartless, right?

Ye Qian also understands, the relationship between the two now is awkward. He didn’t know how to deal with it either. He asked his father, his father only said there was a personal grudge, he will not stop targeting the Qin family.

Is he, is he really going to go further and further away from Qin Lang like this?

The system spit out the melon seed shells: “Hey hey, your little old gong is very sad.”

Qin Lang also spit out the shells of the melon seeds: “It can’t be helped, I’m sad too. Think about it, my good friend’s father wants my family to go bankrupt, how can I face him? Of course it’s impossible to be happy!”

“Then what? Just go on like this?”

“At this time, it depends on how good classmates Ye are to me. The whole class will assist!” Qin Lang clapped to get the scarps off his hands, “Winter vacation is so short. School will start soon, right? The final sprint of senior year! Qianqian and I made a promise to go to the same university. How can I let those cynicism affect my studies?”

“???” Why didn’t he understand it?

“Ugh, it seems that it is not unreasonable that you will be kidnapped by an AI.” His IQ is worrying.

“???” He still didn’t understand.

Jinchen’s third year of high school started a full week earlier than the first and second year of high school. Their school is still good, for ordinary high school, winter vacation is only for a week. Senior year is a rushing time, not a single second can be wasted.

In the second semester of high school, the class teacher doesn’t have the energy to take care of the students’ seating so as long as there is no conflict between the students, they don’t have to change seats.

Ye Qian came to school very early. When the students in the class saw him, one by one, they would cautiously call him “Young master Qian”. Because their parents have reminded them, if they don’t want to be like the Qin family then don’t mess with the Fang family. In just one month, the Qin group had its limbs cut off, drenching in blood.

Qin Lang was the last to enter the classroom. Of course he was deliberately waiting for everyone to appear first.

He is standing at the door of the classroom alone. He stared blankly at the man in the back seat in the last row by the window.

Ye Qian also looked at him. The other party was the first to move his line of sight, the young man lowered his normally high head. The blonde hair also lost its arrogant color of the past like its owner.

Qin Lang lowered his gazes, quietly listening to the whispers of his classmates with the mocking and wanton look toward him.

He bit his lips. After walking this apparently short distance in silence, he finally sat next to the man who he didn’t know how to face.

The oppressive feeling has not diminished but he didn’t want to pay attention to those sarcastic eyes nor want to hear those voices talking about him. Then he buried his face in his arms, and didn’t allow himself to listen or see. As if doing so he won’t be treated differently.

Ye Qian’s heart twisted fiercely. He wanted to directly take the thin body of the person beside him into his arms but he couldn’t. Qin Lang would not be willing.

Ye Qian raised his head, looking coldly at his classmates with a fierce gaze. The classmates his gazes landed on quickly turn their head away, stop staring at Qin Lang for fear that if they were slower, the Fang family’s eldest young master will take it to heart and they will end up like Qin Lang’s family.

Schools were like this for a long time. Qin Lang and Ye Qian were like last year, silent, no communication, no dialogue. Sometimes they accidentally bump into each other on the desk but they both backed away quickly.

They are very cautious. Obviously they want to get close but when they meet, they are afraid the other party will hate them so they retreat and dare not go forward.

This morning, Qin Lang was late. He was standing at the door of the classroom.

The teacher asked him why he was late.

Qin Lang lowered his head that was already low, under the blonde hair, the originally fair face turned red. “The driver couldn’t find his way here, he went around….”

It didn’t sound like anything at all but everyone in the class still had some intelligence.

“Didn’t Qin Lang have someone to drive him from home everyday? Did they change the driver so he doesn’t know the way to school?”

“What kind of driver? Their family is about to go bankrupt. I guess it was a taxi today. The taxi saw he look stupid so it is estimated that he deliberately went far away to cheat his money…”

“No, so miserable? Hahaha…”

“The young master was also cheated by a taxi. He used to be so thoughtless before, why didn’t he beat up the driver?”

The teacher knocked on the desk with a cold face: “Quiet! Come in, student Qin Lang.”

“Thank you, teacher…” Qin Lang still lowered his head, clutching the backpack straps tightly in both hands making his knuckles turn white.

Ye Qian was so distressed that he could barely breathe. He tried his best to restrain himself from being overly agitated.

Between classes, Qin Lang was lying on the desk as usual. Ye Qian also looked at him silently as usual.

It’s just that the boy didn’t sleep well today, his head was moving to and fro, his posture has also changed several times. Then Ye Qian heard two suppressed and painful groans from the boy’s throat.

Ye Qian finally saw the pale face under the young man’s messy blonde hair. His hand caressed the young man’s back, his voice trembled: “Qin Lang? Qin Lang, what’s wrong with you?”

Qin Lang closed his eyes tightly. The good-looking eyebrows twisted fiercely as he pressed his stomach hard with one hand and bitten the other hand himself. When Ye Qian found out, that beautiful hand had been bitten by Qin Lang already has two deep rows of purple and blue teeth marks, a little deeper and it would draw blood.

Ye Qian carefully took his hand out of his mouth, without any hesitation, as soon as he picked him up, he rushed towards the infirmary.
