Boss’s Death Guide Chapter 86 - Resolve

Chapter 86 - Resolve

Qi Jingchen read the letter from beginning to end.
It had to be admitted that this truly was a good plan if he was really serving people based on their looks. However, he simply had no need for a child to bind Nie Yi and preserve his riches.
“Nie Yi really has great luck with women! Big brother Qi, let me tell you, there’s a lot of people who like Nie Yi. Many want to have Nie Yi’s child. You have to keep a close watch on him! You can’t give him a chance to have an illicit lover!” Qi An said.
“…” Qi Jingchen looked at Qi An who had used his idioms wrongly, then returned his gaze to that letter.
He trusted Nie Yi. If he didn’t even trust Nie Yi, who else could he trust in this world? He might as well die as soon as possible.
But he still wasn’t happy that someone was coveting his person.
Qi Jingchen originally was too lazy to deal with that family; he didn’t even care when they had used his name to ask Mother Ping for an operation, yet he had never thought they would want a mile after being given an inch…
Four days was enough for the Chenguang Team to be well rested, and those who had been carelessly injured had recovered a lot. Today Nie Yi had gone over to supervise their training, and also had them immediately regain their fighting strength.
Nie Yi’s bones had already turned soft from his few days of relaxation, and so he was unrestrained as he fought with his subordinates. After that, he had even deliberately asked an earth ability user to create a separate cubicle for him to shower and change in.
“Boss, we’re all men, so why are you so modest?” an ability user couldn’t help but say. Shao Zhenglan had brought away the few female ability users, and the ones remaining were all men.
“I’m someone with a wife; how could I be the same as you?” Nie Yi snorted. “Let me tell you, pay more attention when you’re in front of me so that I won’t have to wash my eyes when I go home!”
“Don’t worry Boss, we’ll be careful!” That ability user immediately replied. “I definitely won’t cause you to be domestically abused when you go back!”
This person was joking to tease Nie Yi, but Nie Yi seized the opportunity to say, “It should be like that!”
“…” The ability user was a little speechless. Why did it seem as if he was being fed PDA?
He watched as Nie Yi went off, then went to look for Ping Shengchao to ask for some water to shower. As a result, he just happened to see Zhang Zihai and Ping Shengchao pulling and pushing each other as they entered a cubicle as well…
He suddenly wanted to find a partner too.
When Nie Yi was on the way back, he specially went to the truck used to raise food to fetch a few things.
They had a truck specifically for raising chicken. The truck wasn’t large, but a few racks were made and chicken coops were hung layer by layer on the racks so the single truck could raise over a hundred of chickens without a problem. Because there was always a fire ability user there to keep an eye on the temperature, these chickens would even lay eggs.
Nie Yi took four chicken eggs, then went to another truck. At this place, there was a person who could farm tending to vegetables.
The green vegetables, radishes, and whatnot were relatively resistant to the cold, and could even be planted during autumn in the southern areas, winter being just the right time for it to turn ripe. Right now, these plants were primarily grown here.
Nie Yi asked for two radishes and a few heads of cabbages, planning to cook them for Qi Jingchen when he returned.
“Nie shao, leave the radish leaves ba.”
“For the cows to eat?” Nie Yi asked.
“No, to pickle,” that person said. Some relatively rougher vegetables like radish leaves weren’t tasty when fried, but could be used to make pickled vegetables.
Nie Yi didn’t quite comprehend such things. When he heard this, he felt very satisfied with himself for finding someone well-versed in such an aspect to plant vegetables, then he happily brought several ingredients back.
Just as he returned to the house, Nie Yi realised that the house he had previously made nice and warm had turned ice-cold, and hastily condensed a small fire to raise the temperature before he went to see Qi Jingchen.
Qi Jingchen was lying in bed, looking at the cabbage he had been raising for a long time yet still had no trace of growth. His expression was clearly not very good. Seeing this, Nie Yi worriedly asked, “Jingchen, are you okay?”
“How could I not be okay?” Qi Jingchen laughed coldly.
“That’s good… Then why are you suddenly unhappy?” Nie Yi asked.
“I’m not unhappy either. I just want to congratulate Nie shao for having flourishing peach flowers!”
Why did his words sound sour? Nie Yi felt delighted when he heard it, then expressed his devotion. “Don’t worry, no matter how many peach flowers I have, I won’t give them a single glance.”
Nie Yi’s behaviour, in contrast, made Qi Jingchen lose interest in his desire to lose his temper… He threw the paper at Nie Yi, then simply said, “Read it.”
Nie Yi caught the paper, and first glanced through it before carefully reading it. At that moment, he hated that he couldn’t tear the Xu Yehui father and daughter apart.
He had fallen for Qi Jingchen for so many years, and now there was that little bit of progress after much difficulty. Yet, there was still someone who came to incite disharmony between them…
“Jingchen, don’t worry! I’ll immediately resolve this issue!” without even thinking, Nie Yi ran out— That family dared to covet him… Cough, covet his sperm! He definitely must humiliate them!
“Wait,” Qi Jingchen said.
“What is it?” Nie Yi stopped moving.
“I’m hungry,” Qi Jingchen said. He was quite angry before and also wanted to teach Xu Yehui a proper lesson, but seeing Nie Yi’s indignant appearance now, he suddenly did not feel angry.
Nie Yi began cooking with gritted teeth, and appeared as if he was chopping people up while cutting the vegetables. When cooking with his fire ability, his expression was also very grave.
Having him cook to cool down was also pretty good… when Qi Jingchen saw Nie Yi’s wooden and expressionless face, he suddenly went over and licked Nie Yi’s ear.
The ball of fire in Nie Yi’s hand suddenly went out of control and directly burnt through the pot. His shirt was also ignited, and the flames that shot up even burnt his hair.
Nie Yi quickly put out the fire, but his hair had lessened a lot, and that pot of radish soup couldn’t be eaten either.
“What a pity.” Qi Jingchen couldn’t help but say as he looked at the soup. He didn’t think Nie Yi’s reaction would be so great; if he had, he wouldn’t have teased him at such a time.
“You… What did you just do?”
“I think you’re quite good,” Qi Jingchen smiled.
Nie Yi really wanted to ask whether Qi Jingchen liked him, but also didn’t quite dare to. After all, if Qi Jingchen didn’t like him, the two might not be able to continue interacting like this after his question…
He was a man who also liked men, and would have a reaction when seeing Qi Jingchen’s body. What about Qi Jingchen? He had never looked at him with a desiring gaze… He didn’t say anything at all in his last life precisely because he realised that Qi Jingchen was probably straight.
Nie Yi sorted the things, changed his shirt, and continued cooking. But now, he had no time to continue thinking about the Xu Yehui father and daughter.
After their meal, Nie Yi finally sorted out his feelings and immediately stood up. “I’m going to find that surnamed Xu to settle accounts.”
“Don’t beat him to death,” Qi Jingchen said. He wasn’t angry at the father and daughter pair anymore. When he imagined that family’s expressions once Nie Yi went to bother them, he even felt some sympathy.
When Nie Yi went downstairs, the community’s Z County survivors were lining up to get food.
Because he felt that their behaviour was good, Nie Yi recently allowed Ping Shengchao to distribute plentiful amounts of food to them. Like today, where everyone had a plate of dough dumpling soup with salted vegetables, and a tortilla that was palm-sized and a finger thick.
The corn was found in a fodder factory, but presently, no one cared.
Seeing Nie Yi come over, these people each came to greet him. Wei Jinrong was at the forefront. “Hello, Nie shao!” As he spoke, he couldn’t help looking at Nie Yi’s hair.
When Nie Yi had returned, his hair was perfectly fine; how did a moment of labour suddenly turn it all burnt… Nie Yi’s control over his fire ability was that great, according to reason, he wouldn’t have burnt his own hair, right?
Nie Yi simply did not care about Wei Jinrong, instead sweeping his gaze around, and finally resting his eyes on Xu Yehui.
Xu Yehui was sizing up Nie Yi when he met Nie Yi’s unkind eyes. He immediately became a little fearful, but before he could react, Nie Yi had rushed towards him. “Surnamed Xu, you actually dare write such things to Jingchen!”
As he spoke, Nie Yi grabbed Xu Yehui’s shirt and yanked him so hard that Xu Yehui’s feet left the ground.
Xu Yehui was stunned, somewhat unable to react to the current situation— What was going on? Could Qi Jingchen have given Nie Yi the letter to read?
Was Qi Jingchen crazy? He actually allowed Nie Yi to read such a letter?!
Even if Nie Yi had read it… he had no need to personally come for him, right? Why was he so free that he would care for such a minor issue?
Xu Yehui couldn’t help but suspect whether Qi Jingchen had forged a letter for Nie Yi to read… Could it be that Qi Jingchen hated him very much, and wanted to make use of Nie Yi to kill him? “Nie shao, I do not understand what you mean…”
“Nie shao, is there some sort of misunderstanding?” someone beside them also spoke up. “Xu Yehui previously wanted to meet Qi Jingchen, but Qi Jingchen didn’t want to see him at all.”
The speaker had some sympathy for Xu Yehui, and once he said this, everyone around him nodded. There was even someone who was older who helped Xu Yehui say, “Nie shao, Qi Jingchen doesn’t have the slightest affection for his biological father; he wouldn’t even let him see his face. This is a little too heartless.”
“This sort of biological father who didn’t care about their son after they were born, I wouldn’t want to meet him either if it was me!” Nie Yi sneered as he spoke. In any case, Qi Jingchen’s grandparents had raised Qi Jingchen for a few years; if they were here, he would at least give them some face. Xu Yehui could forget about it. “Xu Yehui, I was originally disinclined to deal with you, but you actually dared to make plans against me. I must teach you a proper lesson!”
After saying that, Nie Yi looked at the people around them. “And you people… If you’re tired of living, I’ll have someone send you to heaven!”
Nie Yi’s words were obviously targeted at those who wanted to speak up for Xu Yehui or wanted to help him. Hearing him say this, even if they didn’t like Qi Jingchen, they immediately shut their mouths.
“Nie shao, we really did nothing; I was just concerned about my ge.” Xu Qiuyu carefully looked at Nie Yi. When her mother fled, she had brought her bag along, and there were various makeup testers inside. She had used them today, and her complexion looked pretty good; she could be considered a young beauty.
“Wanting to have my child is your concern for your brother?” Nie Yi looked at Xu Qiuyu in ridicule.
“Nie shao, we were a little selfish, but we definitely don’t have bad intentions. My daughter is deeply attached to Nie shao, which is why she had such an idea,” Xu Yehui hastily spoke. Nie Yi was a male; he would be happy if a young girl admired him, right?
“No bad intentions? I haven’t even gotten together with Qi Jingchen yet you did such a bothersome matter; what no bad intentions?” Nie Yi tossed Xu Yehui away.
Xu Yehui landed at the side, practically stupefied— Haven’t gotten together yet? Nie Yi, such a person, was pursuing him, yet Qi Jingchen dared to not agree?
Not only was Xu Yehui somewhat dumbfounded, even Zhang Zihai, Ping Shengchao, and the others were stunned… Nie Yi had always told people that Qi Jingchen was his man, and carried him here and there… yet they weren’t together yet?
Ping Shengchao glanced at Zhang Zihai, his lips quirking. Because Zhang Zihai always used Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen as an example, he thought two men being together wasn’t that bad, then they couldn’t help rubbing each other off… In the end, his family’s boss hadn’t even managed to get Qi Jingchen?
Was this a joke?
He seemed to have a slip of tongue… Nie Yi glared at Xu Yehui. “This time, for Qi Jingchen’s sake, I’ll let you go. The next time you dare to ruin my matters, I won’t forgive you!”
Xu Yehui was in pain from his fall and regretted it incessantly. If he had long known Nie Yi was the infatuated one, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed to his daughter’s idea and continued to play the fatherly affection card…
But this was unscientific ah! Nie Yi was such a strong person; why was he still insisting on hanging on one tree?
When Xu Qiuyu saw Nie Yi’s valour, her feelings for Nie Yi surprisingly grew even more sincere— Who didn’t like an infatuated man? If Nie Yi treated her this well, she would definitely have accepted Nie Yi, and not put on airs like Qi Jingchen.
However, Nie Yi didn’t even glance at her, even saying, “You didn’t even take a look at your own morality, yet you dare to want me!”
Xu Qiuyu was this old but had never been so embarrassed.
Because Qi Jingchen had licked his ear, Nie Yi was no longer as angry. After venting for a while and warning them, he went back upstairs to Qi Jingchen. And at this time, Qi Yaoyao, who had received the news, arrived.
She had already known the conclusion to this, and was like a proud little rooster, walking to Xu Qiuyu. “Nie Yi just likes my ge alone. Someone like you, he wouldn’t even glance at even if you sent yourself to his door naked.”
“Don’t think you can always be this haughty!” Xu Qiuyu’s eyes were filled with tears as she couldn’t help speaking up.
“So what if I’m haughty? You’ve never seen how well Nie Yi treats my ge! He wouldn’t get angry even if my ge beats or scolds him!” Qi Yaoyao said.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Xu Qiuyu didn’t believe her at all.
“I’m not; everyone who came along from B City knows very well how Nie Yi treats my ge!” Qi Yaoyao raised her chin and looked at Ping Shengchao.
Nie Yi truly treated Qi Jingchen very well. Back when Qi Jingchen poured water over Nie Yi, Nie Yi didn’t avoid it either and allowed him to do so… When Ping Shengchao recalled what happened in B City, his gaze turned distant.
Speaking of, could the reason behind why Nie Yi’s hair was burnt be because Qi Jingchen was angry?
