Chapter 23: First World: I LIKE YOU!

On this particularly exciting day, the mood in the tent was suddenly dampened with Qie Ranzhe emitting massive kill intent towards Sun Huxian. The young master was standing there looking straight at the only boy wearing a dress while nervously pinching the helm of his sleeve.

'What the fuck is going on?' thought Wen Qinxi gazing at him in confusion. Before he could come up with a polite way to decline as they really had no business with each other, Qie Ranzhe suddenly stepped in front of Sun Huxian blocking his view of Lin Jingxie.

"He has no business with you, please show yourself out," said Qie Ranzhe, his stance extremely intimidating that even Wen Qinxi felt like cowering away though he wasn't the one being threatened.

Somehow the message wasn't clear enough because Sun Huxian was persistent. "I-l really need to speak to him, it's important," said Sun Huxian a bit hesitant than before.

Qie Ranzhe's dark glowering eyes terrified him but he wasn't going anywhere till he said what he needed to say. "Do you want me to break your other arm to ma-!" yelled Qie Ranzhe before a hand was placed on his shoulder patting him twice. He wanted to continue threatening Sun Huxian but at the touch of Lin Jingxie's hand his mind went blank forgetting what he wanted to say.

"Look, you and l are not on good terms but l will hear you out. l give you five seconds and it starts...now," said Wen Qinxi lifting his five fingers initiating a countdown.

Sun Huxian was nervous stammering a couple of times underpressure, breaking into a cold sweat. "Four.....three...two.....o-," he counted down before Sun Huxian suddenly blurted out something that had three people in the tent flabbergasted while one of them was so angry he could just murder Sun Huxian were he stood.

"I LIKE YOU!" yelled Sun Huxian at the top of his voice as though afraid Lin Jingxie wouldn't hear his confession. Here is the thing about young master Sun, he had heard about Lin Jingxie's performance and decided to poke fun at him or possibly beat him up as pay back for his broken arm. He attended on the second day but instead of mocking Lin Jingxie, he was bewitched by him ultimately igniting a new obsession.

He thought he would get over him if he kept his distance but he couldn't stop thinking about him and ended up attending every single performance. The truth was as clear as day, he was having cherry blossom moments each time he saw Lin Jingxie and thus his confession today. The desire to make Lin Jingxie his was more than the fear of being rejected.

Qie Ranzhe was fuming like an incinerator that had collided with a gasoline tank. He couldn't fathom why everyone had impure intentions towards Lin Jingxie when they were plenty of others to like. 'Not allowed,' he thought imagining a thousand ways to kill Sun Haoran. He was about to beat him shitless when Lin Jingxie took action.

Wen Qi drew Qie Ranzhe's sword but paused when he realised it was wooden. He glared at Qie Ranzhe saying, "We need to get you fuckin sword," while pointing it at him. He handed it back to Qie Ranzhe and moved towards Lin Mingxu drawing his sword before aiming it inches away from Sun Huxian's neck.

"If you fuckin dare have such thoughts about me ever again, l will chop your balls off and gladly turn you into eunuch. Do you understand?" he said in a threatening whisper that sent shivers down Sun Huxian's spine.

Qie Ranzhe was just standing there dazed by this version of Lin Jingxie. He had been in a few scuffles with him before the drowning incident and they had threatened each other back and forth multiple times but he had never been enthralled like this before. 'His a fuckin badass,' thought Qie Ranzhe suddenly imagining he and Lin Jingxie taking over the world as a dynamic duo.

Sun Huxian nodded his head to save his neck but in actuality there was no way he was going to get over him that fast. Wen Qinxi gave the sword back to Lin Mingxu as Sun Huxian ran away like his pants were on fire.

The tent was silent for a while as Wen Qinxi was changing out of the dress behind a folding screen. He was extremely annoyed by Sun Huxian wondering what gave him the balls to say such things when he bullied Xie Ruen to the point of scaring his body. 'Thats some fucked up shit right there,' he thought while coming out from behind the folding screen as elegent and exquisite as ever.

"Such an idiot, what gave him the courage to go after Jin-ge. Doesn't he know he belongs to me," said Lee Jienjie while reaching out to touch his sleeve but missed when Qie Ranzhe suddenly draped his arm around Lin Jingxie's shoulders pulling him out of the way with a sly grin.

"Lets go," said Qie Ranzhe with his body language clearly marking his territory. Wen Qinxi was tongue-tied wondering what was wrong with this weirdo but didn't say anything allowing himself to be led out of the tent.

She stomped the ground with her foot, feeling disgruntled while watching them leave huddled up like best friends. "Tsk, tsk, tsk.....such a temper. Jin-ge is friends with him now so bare with it that is if you want to ever be his wife. Can't you see how much more calm l am, haha welcome to the club," said Lin Mingxu before following his brother.

Thus the get rid of Qie Ranzhe club grew by one more determined member.
