Regarding Su Zhiwei’s question, Ruan Qing casually nodded.
“I have an impression of that kid; he doesn’t seem to fit your previous aesthetics,” Su Zhiwei said, glancing at Ruan Qing while cutting fruits. His tone remained unchanged, as if he was simply chatting casually with his nephew. “Has your taste changed recently?”
Ruan Qing replied nonchalantly, “Just agreed without much thought.”
After Su Zhiwei finished cutting the fruit into small pieces and skewering them with toothpicks, he handed them to Ruan Qing. “Did you agree so casually because you’re lacking a boyfriend?”
Ruan Qing took the fruit and made a perfunctory “Hmm” sound, clearly indicating that he didn’t want to continue the conversation with Su Zhiwei.
He indeed didn’t want to talk to the other. He was only thinking about how he could obtain the keys.
He didn’t necessarily have to take it; he just needed to get a glimpse of it and then recreate a copy.
When Su Zhiwei opened the office door earlier, Ruan Qing was standing behind him and didn’t see the key. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have been so troublesome.
But the villa at Su’s residence was much more accessible than the office, and achieving his goal should be as simple as offering a glass of water.
“If you’re lacking a boyfriend...” Su Zhiwei looked at the impatient teenager in front of him, revealing a smile, and then calmly spoke, “Why not consider your uncle?”
“Cough, cough...“
Ruan Qing was contemplating how to take the key from Su Zhiwei. He was caught off guard by what Su Zhiwei said. He had just stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth and choked on it.
Ruan Qing instantly felt uncomfortable, and a faint blush appeared at the corners of his eyes. His beautiful gaze became misty, shimmering and captivating.
Su Zhiwei’s gaze paused for a moment. Seeing Ruan Qing in distress, he quickly helped pat his back, showing great tenderness and consideration. “How could you be so careless?”
Su Zhiwei’s tone carried concern, showing no self-awareness as the instigator. It seemed like he didn’t realize how shocking and outrageous his words had just been.
It made Ruan Qing almost think that he had misheard.
Ruan Qing’s coughing caught the attention of the nanny working on the other side of the living room.
“Master, are you okay?” She immediately ran over in concern, and together with Su Zhiwei, patted Ruan Qing’s back and used her other hand to help him breathe smoothly by placing it on his chest.
Su Zhiwei looked at the nanny’s hand on Ruan Qing’s chest, and although his expression remained unchanged from before, his usually indifferent eyes darkened imperceptibly.
After Ruan Qing felt much better, he pushed the nanny’s hand away. “I’m fine.”
The nanny glanced at the two of them and reluctantly returned to her work post.
“You,” Su Zhiwei watched the nanny’s retreating figure and withdrew his gaze, then turned to Ruan Qing and continued speaking, “You’re so careless. How can you be okay without someone taking care of you? Those inexperienced high school kids wouldn’t know how to take care of anyone.”
“You should seriously consider your uncle. Coincidentally, I also need a boyfriend.”
Obviously, what just happened was not a hallucination. Ruan Qing looked at Su Zhiwei in shock.
Seeing Ruan Qing’s gaze, Su Zhiwei smiled gently, like a warm breeze, and slowly voiced his thoughts. “How can a group of ignorant kids deserve our little princess? What they like is nothing more than the power and wealth of the Su family, not you as a person.”
“But your uncle is different.”
“Your uncle doesn’t lack anything and won’t deceive you for money and power. I will only genuinely treat you well.”
“Whatever you need or want, your uncle can provide it. What others can give, your uncle can also give. And what others can’t give, your uncle can still give.”
“Your uncle can unconditionally spoil you forever. Even if you want the stars in the sky, your uncle will find a way to pluck them for you.”
Su Zhiwei spoke with great seriousness, as if he was not joking. If it were someone else facing this Su Zhiwei, they might have been moved, considering that even people’s parents couldn’t do what he said.
But Ruan Qing was not moved and had no intention to consider it. He only looked at Su Zhiwei with an expression as if he was looking at a lunatic. “...Are you going crazy? You’re my biological uncle.”
(T/N: Okay. I think there’s a part in past chapters that mentioned Su Zhiwei being the grandson of some person who was close to the Su family and when he died, the Su family adopted Su Zhiwei. I don’t know if the author forgot about it or I just mistranslated that part. It’s probably the latter. So, now, it turned out that Su Zhiwei is biologically related to the owner of Ruan Qing’s current body. I apologize for the mistranslation. >_<)
Ruan Qing really didn’t expect Su Zhiwei to go so far as to say such things to his own nephew. It would be one thing if he lacked ethical morals, but wasn’t he afraid of the original owner’s father and mother, the Su family, killing him?
One should know that no matter how much a younger brother was valued, he could never surpass one’s own son.
If Su Father and Mother knew that Su Zhiwei said such things to Su Qing, they would probably kick Su Zhiwei out of the Su family.
No... Su Father and Mother were away on a business trip and wouldn’t be back for ten days.
Moreover, they were busy with work, so they hadn’t spent much time with the original owner. If the original owner had been replaced, they might not even notice.
And the monster that would replace the original owner... how could it possibly go and complain to Su Father and Mother? In other words, Su Father and Mother would have no idea that something else had replaced their son, and they wouldn’t know that Su Zhiwei had said such things to him.
That’s why Su Zhiwei was so fearless.
No... maybe he’s even more fearless than he thought.
After all, if Su Father and Mother were to hinder him, Su Zhiwei, who could go so far as to sacrifice an entire school’s students to the monster, might quietly kill them.
And Ruan Qing didn’t think that Su Zhiwei was genuinely interested in him. Setting aside their relationship, Su Zhiwei had never expressed any liking for the original owner. It seemed that he didn’t even consider the original owner important, especially since he wouldn’t have deliberately brought the original owner to the First High School if he cared about him.
Yet, he’s now saying such things.
...Maybe these words weren’t meant for him but for the future owner of this body.
So that monster was really... Su Zhiwei’s boyfriend?
Ruan Qing glanced at Su Zhiwei. The other couldn’t wait to establish a romantic relationship with the monster. He couldn’t even wait for a few days?
“What’s wrong with being your uncle? We’re not having a child,” Su Zhiwei chuckled lightly, speaking words that shattered common sense, with a touch of elegance that portrayed the refined scoundrel to the fullest.
As Su Zhiwei continued speaking, he glanced at Ruan Qing’s belly with a playful expression. “Besides, you... probably can’t have children either.”
“Of course.” Su Zhiwei pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke with a serious tone, “If you can conceive, I will definitely provide the best for our child. There’s no need to worry about the child’s health.”
Su Zhiwei’s voice carried a playful and teasing tone. His deep and magnetic voice had a certain charm, as if it could penetrate into one’s heart, making people unconsciously indulge in it, disregarding what he was saying.
However, Ruan Qing’s attention was not on the voice but rather on the sinking feeling in his heart. Setting aside the question of whether they could have a child, what did it mean by ‘no need to worry about the child’s health’?
It was well known that offspring from close relatives had a high probability of having deformities due to genetic issues. It couldn’t be guaranteed to be healthy, and yet Su Zhiwei spoke so confidently, almost openly discussing the matter of changing bodies.
Was Su Zhiwei... testing whether he knew about the incident at the First High School?
As Su Zhiwei leaned closer, preparing to say something else, Ruan Qing restrained the expression in his eyes and looked at Su Zhiwei with an expression that said, ‘You must be insane’.
He then reached out and slammed the content of the fruit plate onto Su Zhiwei’s head, followed by a cold remark, “If you’re sick, go take your medication. Don’t bring your sickness here!”
After saying that, Ruan Qing walked away directly.
The fruit juice from the overturned fruits trickled down, dirtying Su Zhiwei’s hair. A few strands of hair stuck together as well. Some juice even dripped onto his white shirt, leaving stains, and the fallen fruits landed on his suit pants, making him look disheveled.
Yet Su Zhiwei didn’t seem angry; in fact, he appeared rather pleased. He gazed at Ruan Qing as he walked away, his eyes deep and mysterious.
The nanny who had been working nearby heard the sound of the fruit plate falling and hurried over. She saw Su Zhiwei’s disheveled appearance.
“Mr. Su, are you okay?” The nanny took out a clean towel, intending to help Su Zhiwei wipe himself.
Su Zhiwei glanced at the nanny and waved his hand away indifferently, saying, “Get lost.”
The nanny froze upon meeting Su Zhiwei’s gaze and instinctively took several steps back.
Although Su Zhiwei’s gaze contained no killing intent or imposing aura, it was just a casual look. It still sent a chill down her spine. She couldn’t summon any resistance, and her body instinctively weakened.
It seemed like she was seeing something terrifying.
The nanny immediately realized it and quickly retreated, swiftly leaving the living room.
What just happened to her?
Why did she find Mr. Su Zhiwei frightening?
Clearly, Mr. Su Zhiwei was the gentlest person...
“Mmm...” Just as the nanny reached an empty area, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind, and she was dragged into darkness, ultimately merging with it.
And no one noticed this scene.
***
After throwing the fruit plate, Ruan Qing went straight back to his own room.
Given that Su Zhiwei’s clothes were soiled, he would definitely take a shower and change into clean clothes at the Su family villa.
That would be the opportunity to obtain the key from him.
Ruan Qing had been acting together with that group of players from last night until today. He returned too late and didn’t have time to take a shower. He now felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After entering the room, Ruan Qing found a set of clean clothes to change into and left a silk thread on his room’s door. Then he randomly chose one of the guest rooms.
His own room was too conspicuous and unsafe. Unless necessary, Ruan Qing didn’t want to stay in his own room.
The Su family villa was large, and there were many guest rooms. Unless someone was tracking him, it would be difficult to determine which guest room he was in.
So Ruan Qing simply picked a guest room while holding his clothes and locked the door.
Although Xiao Shiyi said only the mirrors at the school were problematic, Ruan Qing was still cautious. He pushed down the mirror on the table and casually threw a piece of clothing over it.
Ruan Qing washed up quickly, without any accidents happening in the meantime. He changed his clothes and came out in less than half an hour.
As he dried his hair, he walked back to his own room, and the silk thread on the door... broke once again.
Ruan Qing held the doorknob tightly and frowned, hesitating whether to go in or not.
After all, the lesson from the last time was still fresh in his mind. No matter how vigilant he was, he couldn’t match the agility of others.
Ruan Qing gave up. Just as he was about to turn around and go downstairs, the door unexpectedly swung open.
Inside was... Su Zhiwei.
Ruan Qing stared blankly at Su Zhiwei in front of him.
Su Zhiwei always dressed conservatively, even buttoning up his shirts to the top. But now, he was bare-chested, with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. Water droplets glistened on his well-defined abdominal muscles, slowly gliding down and eventually disappearing into the towel.
He was not wearing glasses, and his wet hair was scattered around. It was evident that he had just taken a shower.
Ruan Qing could understand why Su Zhiwei wanted to take a shower, but why did he come to his room to do so?
Ruan Qing frowned and was about to leave.
However, just as he turned around, Su Zhiwei grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the room.
