Chapter 20: Why Can’t You Sleep Again?

Yu Jinwan stood there stunned for a moment, his face flushing red all the way to his ears as if he had been burned.

“I… I’m not…” He seemed at a loss, forcefully pulling away from He Congshan’s grip and trying to leave.

Fearing that he would run off again, He Congshan quickly wrapped his large arm around him, which startled Yu Jinwan into slapping He Congshan’s face once more.

Lin Miao anxiously looked at his teacher and then at his boss—what should he do? He was also worried about being late for class!

However, He Congshan didn’t get angry; instead, he seemed even happier. “That’s right! It’s this slap!”

Lin Miao: “……”

Why was Boss He acting so crazy?

Yu Jinwan, like a frightened deer, caught sight of the occasional passerby and panicked even more, struggling and saying, “Let go, I… I’ll call security.”

Lin Miao quickly helped Little Zheng pull He Congshan away, “Teacher, I’m sorry. Boss is drunk.”

He Congshan retorted, “I’m not drunk, and I didn’t get the wrong person!”

Then he was mercilessly dragged away by Little Zheng.

Lin Miao apologized on behalf of He Congshan and hurried off to class. During a break, he sent a complaint message to Huo Yuchuan, “Boss He is having a drunken fit and bullying Teacher Yu!”

Huo Yuchuan replied with a question mark.

Lin Miao: “He kissed Teacher Yu!”

Huo Yuchuan: “Then let your teacher beat him up.”

“Beat him?” Lin Miao said, “Boss He’s face is swollen again.”

Huo Yuchuan, completely unconcerned about He Congshan’s well-being, said, “Good for him.”

Lin Miao paused for a moment, then asked, “Does he like Teacher Yu?”

Huo Yuchuan: “I don’t know.”

Lin Miao recalled the question Huo Yuchuan hadn’t answered at noon and couldn’t help asking again, “Who is the person you like?”

After a while, Huo Yuchuan replied, “Don’t be so nosy.”

Lin Miao grumbled inwardly that he was stingy with information.

A few days later, the stingy Huo Yuchuan had to go on a business trip again. Before leaving, he told Lin Miao to let Aunt Chen know if he needed anything.

Lin Miao thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll go back to the dormitory first. You won’t be home, and Aunt Chen and the others won’t be here at night. I’ll be alone.”

Huo Yuchuan didn’t object, only saying, “Call if you need anything.”

He went to City C with Little Zheng for the business trip, and Lin Miao returned to school. It happened that the next day, Zhou Zhuo and his team had a basketball game.

Lin Miao went to cheer them on, and after Zhou Zhuo’s team won the trophy and returned to the dormitory, he excitedly made a video call to Huo Yuchuan.

“Huo Yuchuan, look!” he said happily, “This is the trophy Zhou Zhuo and his team won!”

Huo Yuchuan nodded and praised, “Impressive.”

Then he saw Jiang Leming and Zhou Zhuo walking by, shirtless.

Huo Yuchuan: “……Why aren’t they wearing clothes?”

“It’s too hot,” Lin Miao explained, “Zhou Zhuo just finished playing, and Jiang Leming is sweating from cheering… Everyone does this when it’s hot.”

Huo Yuchuan: “Do you do the same?”

Lin Miao: “Yeah.”

Huo Yuchuan didn’t say anything.

Lin Miao thought Huo Yuchuan might be uncomfortable seeing people undressed, so he ended the video call and sent him a message instead.

“How’s your business trip going?”

Huo Yuchuan: “Can’t sleep.”

Lin Miao: “Ah?”

Huo Yuchuan’s sleep had improved a lot. He had occasionally traveled before and, although he didn’t sleep very well, he could still manage a few hours.

“Did you not sleep at all last night?”

Huo Yuchuan: “Mm.”

What should he do? City C was so far away, and he still had classes.

Lin Miao thought for a moment and could only reply, “Then come back early.”

“Can you come back this weekend?”

Huo Yuchuan said, “Next week.”

Lin Miao: “Alright, hold on [cheering]!”

He suddenly felt that he was truly a very useful person to society. After all, there was a man who couldn’t sleep without him.

On Friday, Lin Miao had no classes in the afternoon. Thinking about Huo Yuchuan, who was in a strange place and couldn’t sleep well while busy with business, he worried that he might faint from lack of sleep after several days.

So, he secretly booked a ticket to City C, planning to surprise Huo Yuchuan.

Besides, City C had lots of delicious food, and if Huo Yuchuan was busy over the weekend, he could explore on his own.

He had asked for the address of Huo Yuchuan’s hotel and, upon arrival, called Little Zheng and instructed him not to tell Huo Yuchuan.

Little Zheng was a bit surprised but still gave him the room card.

Lin Miao quietly swiped open the door, tiptoed in stealthily, and imagined the shocked look on Huo Yuchuan’s face when he saw him, after tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep……

Then, he saw Huo Yuchuan, fast asleep under the covers, lying in bed.

Lin Miao: “……”

Why are you sleeping so soundly without me?!

Lin Miao was furious and was about to shake Huo Yuchuan awake. He restrained himself, took out his phone, and sent a message to Huo Yuchuan: “You don’t need me at all [angry]!”

The sleeping Huo Yuchuan didn’t hear the phone notification.

Lin Miao lay down on the other side of the bed, staring at him indignantly.

Huo Yuchuan’s brows were furrowed, as if he was having a bad dream, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lin Miao pursed his lips and called out to him a few times: “Huo Yuchuan……”

After a while, Huo Yuchuan slowly opened his eyes.

He seemed still immersed in the chaotic dream, looking dazed at the person in front of him.

Lin Miao, still not over his anger, said sarcastically, “You’re sleeping really well……”

Before he could finish, Huo Yuchuan suddenly pressed over and covered his mouth with a kiss.

Lin Miao was completely stunned.

He looked at Huo Yuchuan, who was so close, his mind went blank, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears.

His mind was in chaos, but suddenly he wondered, why did Boss He recognize Teacher Yu with just a kiss?

Is everyone’s mouth different when kissed?

Huo Yuchuan’s mouth was so warm……

“Mmm……”

Huo Yuchuan’s kiss was eager and domineering, making it hard for Lin Miao to catch his breath. His lips tingled slightly, and he couldn’t help but pat Huo Yuchuan.

“Huo Yuchuan…… mmm……”

The person on top paused for a moment and slowly released him.

Lin Miao panted, still dazed. He moved his lips and murmured, “Why… why did you kiss me?”

Huo Yuchuan’s eyes gradually cleared. He was silent for a long time, then said with a straight face, “Suddenly felt like scratching an itch on my lips.”

Lin Miao: “……”
