by InterstellarSnakeChapter 47: So Easily Blushing
He Congshan chuckled with a “hehe” for a while but didn’t tell Lin Miao what to do in a relationship. He just waved his hand with a fake serious expression and said, “You haven’t been in a relationship, so you wouldn’t understand.”
Lin Miao retorted indignantly, “I have!” Although it had only started that afternoon.
He Congshan was surprised, “Has Huo Yuchuan finally dropped the act?”
Lin Miao was taken aback, “How did you know it was him……”
“If you were with someone else, he’d be going crazy,” He Congshan said. “He’s been pretending for so long, I was afraid he’d suffocate.”
Lin Miao recalled that day downstairs in the dormitory when Huo Yuchuan said he had wanted to be in a relationship with him since junior high.
It had been a long time… Lin Miao felt a bit dazed and murmured, “Why didn’t you guys tell me?”
He Congshan replied, “I was afraid Huo Yuchuan would kill me.”
Lin Miao didn’t quite agree and grumbled, “He’s not that fierce.”
“He’s not fierce with you, of course,” He Congshan said with a hint of disdain for his friend. “Does he not want a wife?”
Lin Miao’s face turned red, and he rubbed it with his hand, saying less confidently, “What wife? I’m the husband!”
He Congshan burst into laughter.
Lin Miao: “……” What’s so funny?
He Congshan patted his shoulder and said, “Alright, alright, as long as Huo Yuchuan agrees.”
Of course he would agree, Lin Miao thought. He had said it himself last time, being the wife was fine too.
He Congshan’s phone buzzed, and he glanced at it before saying to Lin Miao, “I have to go. For relationship stuff, you ask Huo Yuchuan.”
Huo Yuchuan had never been in a relationship either, Lin Miao thought. He remembered how Huo Yuchuan had pursued him by following online relationship guides, and he wasn’t sure if those were just scams.
Later that night, after getting off work and taking a shower, Lin Miao crawled into Huo Yuchuan’s bed.
Huo Yuchuan, who had been leaning against the headboard looking at his phone, saw him squirming under the covers and pulled back a bit of the blanket to look at him through his mask.
Lin Miao peeked at him with just his eyes visible.
After a few seconds, Lin Miao also took a mask from the bedside and put it on, saying, “I’ll wear a mask too, so it won’t be contagious.”
He grabbed Huo Yuchuan’s hand under the blanket and whispered, “I don’t want to sleep in the guest room.”
His face felt a bit hot after saying it, and he added awkwardly, “It’s bad luck to sleep in separate rooms on the first day of a relationship.”
Huo Yuchuan quietly looked at him for a moment, then softly said “Mm,” and pulled the blanket up for him.
Lin Miao happily rolled around, “So soft, Huo Yuchuan, I missed your bed.”
Huo Yuchuan asked, “Just missed my bed?”
Lin Miao buried half his face in the pillow and said, “Also missed you a little bit.”
Huo Yuchuan’s fingertip touched his cheek and teased, “So easily blushing……”
Lin Miao buried his face even deeper, “You have thick skin, of course you don’t blush.”
Huo Yuchuan chuckled and said, “Yeah, you have thin skin.”
He lowered his head, got closer, and whispered, “Do other parts blush easily too?”
Lin Miao pushed him and grumbled, “What blush, I’m not a boiled shrimp.”
Huo Yuchuan: “Hungry?”
Lin Miao patted his stomach and shook his head, “No more, I’m sleeping.”
He cuddled up to Huo Yuchuan and complained, “I asked Boss He today what to do in a relationship, and he didn’t tell me. He said to ask you.”
Huo Yuchuan rubbed his soft hair and said, “Why would you even ask him?”
Lin Miao: “He said he’s in a relationship with Teacher Yu.”
Huo Yuchuan: “Don’t ask him, he’s unpredictable.”
Lin Miao looked confused, “Unpredictable?”
Huo Yuchuan: “He locks people up.”
Lin Miao was shocked—was that what the “hehe” was about?!
How perverted!
“Perverted” He Congshan sat on the sofa, flipping through some information he had gathered about the Yu Group over the past few days.
Ever since Yu Jinwan was taken away by his father last time, He Congshan had a hard time finding him.
He used to live alone, but He Congshan had visited his house several times without seeing him return.
Probably went home with his father.
He Congshan had no choice but to try to catch him on his way to or from work, but Yu Jinwan never traveled alone anymore. Every day, a driver would drop him off at the school gate, and the car would wait there until after class to take him back. He didn’t know if they were waiting for someone or keeping an eye on him.
He Congshan didn’t dare to walk in through the front gate, so he had to climb over the school wall.
He didn’t know where Yu Jinwan was and wandered around the school for half a day. When he was about to ask someone, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yu Jinwan walking alone with a book in his hand not far away.
His eyes lit up, and he stealthily followed him.
When Yu Jinwan passed by the teaching building, he was suddenly dragged to the corner with his mouth covered.
The book fell to the ground with a “thud,” and he instinctively struggled, hearing a familiar voice say, “Shh, it’s me.”
Yu Jinwan was slightly stunned. He turned his head and saw He Congshan smiling at him.
“Don’t run away anymore,” He Congshan released his hand from Yu Jinwan’s mouth and said, “I finally found you.”
Yu Jinwan’s lips moved, “How did you… get here?”
“I snuck in without being spotted by that car outside,” He Congshan examined him up and down, “Did your dad hit you?”
Yu Jinwan shook his head.
“That’s good.” He Congshan had been worried that Yu Jinwan would be beaten when he was taken away by his father, and he had been searching for him for days.
“You used to always avoid me, running away whenever you saw me,” He Congshan guessed, “Were you afraid your dad would find out?”
Yu Jinwan didn’t deny it but lowered his eyes and said, “Don’t… come find me anymore.”
“Why?” He Congshan’s brow furrowed, “Is it because you don’t want to see me?”
Yu Jinwan didn’t speak.
He Congshan turned his face to look at him again and asked, “Do you want to see me?”
Yu Jinwan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and with the close breath enveloping him, his thoughts seemed to slow down.
After a long while, he barely managed to squeeze out a word, “Want…”
He Congshan happily kissed him fiercely.
“As long as you want to,” He Congshan cupped his face, his gaze intense, “As long as you want to, I don’t care about anything else.”
But Yu Jinwan still looked troubled, and He Congshan guessed part of the reason, “Is it because your dad doesn’t agree?”
Yu Jinwan slowly nodded.
“Is it because he’s not satisfied with me?” He Congshan vowed, “What’s not satisfactory? I can change!”
“Is he afraid I won’t treat you well? If I ever wrong you, bury me!”
“Or is it because I don’t have enough money? Tell me how much, and I’ll earn it right away!”
Yu Jinwan quietly glanced down at him and said, “Because… you’re a guy.”
“I can change being a guy…” He Congshan’s voice suddenly stopped, and he was puzzled, “Ah?”
