On the road home, Xia Zhi was aware that Ye Qia was very unhappy, and Taotie’s expression when he left just now was also quite awkward; his gaze carrying a hint of disdain, making him feel awkward too .
“Are you still angry?” When they were waiting for the red light, Xia Zhi said in an eager to please tone, “Don’t be mad la . ”
Ye Qia calmly held the steering wheel, saying, “No . ”
“Your expression says that you are angry . ” Xia Zhi’s voice gradually grew smaller as he spoke . Ye Qia did not even bat an eye at him; feeling that he just received an insult, his anger flared up, “So? You feel threatened because I get to earn some money?”
Ye Qia’s reply was still that word, “No . ”
Xia Zhi simply fell back in his seat, and did not speak anymore . Both of them drove the car in silence, went up stairs, entered the house, once the door was shut, he then erupted, one foot kicking the door, angrily saying, “Fucking speak if you have something to say! What did I do wrong? A minute a hundred bucks, up to me to do whatever I want, why should I not earn this sort of money? Can’t I let him do housework for an hour? This sort of money, is there anyone not willing to earn? So it’s fine if you sell your body, but if I were to earn manual labour fees then it’s not fine?”
Ye Qia’s movement suddenly halted, looking over from the side of his body, his face was icy like never before .
Xia Zhi’s anger rushed up at this point, he did not notice in the least how hurtful his words were, just staring back not wanting to give up, angrily roaring, “You just find that I’m not pleasing to your eyes, feeling that I’m useless! You earn more, then only got face in front of me is it? You’re not happy that I get to earn a bit of money! You’re scared that I’ll surpass you, and force you down in comparison!”
Ye Qia took off his outer coat calmly in the face of Xia Zhi’s anger, after hanging it up, when Xia Zhi noticed that he had abnormally stopped speaking, he leisurely walked back, saying, “Firstly, this job opportunity, if you did not have me, would you even be able to catch it? You can manage to contact White? Can you manage to arouse his interest? Just how worthy do you think you are?”

Xia Zhi thought about it, his face bloomed with red, unable to utter even a sentence, eyes red like a beast caged beast, huffing and puffing with anger .
“Secondly, if I were not here, think about what state you would be in? Based on your appearance and dressing, what kind of people would you be able to fish? A cleaner or a triad member?”
Xia Zhi’s fist was curled up tightly, if it were not like this, he would practically be rushing over and hitting someone already .
“Thirdly, do you think that it’s because of you earning money that I’m preventing you?”
The moment this sentence was spoken, Xia Zhi’s rage was extinguished in an instant . He stared at Ye Qia’s face dazedly, seeing that pair of energetic red phoenix eyes spill out a trace of liquid, carrying deep sorrow . When Ye Qia turned his body around, it seemed like a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head, he couldn’t retrieve his spirit even in half a day . He rushed over, wanting to say something in a hurry, but Ye Qia had entered the bathroom, and he did not respond no matter how he knocked on the door .
He did not hear the sound of the running shower, Ye Qia was hiding inside just like that, and did not move even in half a day .
“Ye Qia . ” Xia Zhi placed his head against the door, helplessly saying, “I’m sorry, I…… I just can’t control myself when my temper flares up . ”
There was still no sound from inside, he called out for a while, thinking about what White had said . The more he thought about it the more wronged he felt, and he couldn’t hold back saying, “Do you think that I really did it for money?” Pausing for a bit, he then continued, “Alright ba, perhaps it is because of money, but there’s also another reason, White said, he was actually staring at you! The reason that he would notice me is, because during the gathering, you would give me a glance every few seconds, that’s how he saw through it! Don’t you also have a responsibility in this matter?” He paused for a few seconds again, he added, “My meaning is that you actually don’t have responsibility in this matter, but this whole matter did come from you; you don’t know how disgusting White’s expression was when he spoke about you . I already wanted to punch him, if he did not bring up this business matter, I definitely would have slugged him already……”
Xia Zhi used his finger and knocked on the door, mumbling while knocking, “In short, I am wrong, it definitely won’t happen again…… I also don’t know if I can control myself, but I will do my best . Or should I go see a therapist? Please don’t be angry anymore, I’ll give you all the money I earn, and I’ll leave all my paychecks in the future to you . ”
The door suddenly opened, Xia Zhi fell forwards, closed his eyes and with quick arms he hugged Ye Qia’s neck .

Ye Qia’s gaze was very indifferent, “You’ll give me all that you earn?”
Xia Zhi hurriedly said, “Yes!”
Ye Qia nodded his head, and held Xia Zhi up, saying, “See what therapist, simply wasting money, I also don’t mind it in the end . ”
“Didn’t you cry just now?”
“Didn’t I say before, I was born with squinty eyes, it was the glare from the window flashing in my eyes . ”
The house that they rented was both large and cheap, because there was a large skyscraper outside the building . The external structure was all made of glass, and when it came to a certain time of the day, there would be sunlight reflecting into the house; the light pollution was very serious indeed .
“……”
Xia Zhi felt like he had been tricked, hesitating for quite a long while, there was still the condition of pleading people in between . Ultimately, he still swung and wagged his tail, fawning at Ye Qia, “What should I do?”
Ye Qia leisurely steeped his tea, asking, “What is the agreement between you two?”
“All matters would be up to me to decide, the first meeting would be next weekend . ”

“Other than that?”
“I told him that I don’t accept any agreement other than this . ”
Ye Qia looked over him evaluating up and down, then raised an eyebrow, “Quite smart . ”
Xia Zhi got excited, “I got it right?”
“You have no means to complete any other tasks other than this . ”
“……”
Xia Zhi consulted him with an extremely sincere attitude, he felt that he may also require the acquisition of a 《BDSM Guide》 and related courses . Unexpectedly, Ye Qia had instead thrown him a 《Human Anatomy》 textbook, saying, “Whenever you finish memorising the anatomy book will be when I’ll teach you the rest . ”
He held the thick as a brick 《Human Anatomy》 textbook, only feeling sadness welling up, a sorrowful meaning that can’t be said aloud . Next, he hugged the book, taking note of the knowledge inside for the whole day . Three days later, he came to the realisation that this is an impossible matter .
“You tricked me ah!” Xia Zhi slammed the book down in front of Ye Qia, creating a loud impact, “What’s following this is clearly the first year of medical classes! People take a whole year to complete studying this and you want me to complete it in a week?”
Ye Qia asked, “How much have you learned?”
“I remember how many bones there are in a human body . ”
“How many bones?”
“206 bones . ”
Ye Qia did not hum . After a long while, only then did he let out a sigh, saying, “You really don’t have any talent for becoming a Master ah . ”
Xia Zhi immediately became unenthusiastic, “What proof do you have?”
“Don’t you notice that when you are with me, I have always been controlling the situation? You obviously won’t enjoy it like how a slave would, you would resist but you’re too silly, in the end you just follow along with my intentions . ”
Xia Zhi’s mouth fell open and his tongue knotted up for a while, but he couldn’t refute . In the following three days, he worked hard in cultivating his own “Tyrannical Temper”, but resulted in having quite a number of “almost falling off the proper cultivating path into the dark side” trends .
On Friday night, Ye Qia finally could not endure Xia Zhi’s efforts of becoming the underworld boss, saying, “Relax, the first day is more of you two adapting to each other, you just need to imitate how I dealt with Mr . Li from before . ”
“Really?”
Xia Zhi hugged his doubts as he went, and then, White put on a show of strength towards him .
