Chapter 49 When Did You Start Liking Me?

After dinner, Lin Miao accompanied Huo Yuchuan back to the company and waited for him to finish work in the office. They huddled together on the sofa, and Lin Miao took out his textbooks from his bag to review. After a while, he picked up his phone and started typing. A bit later, he typed again.

Huo Yuchuan, thinking he was chatting with someone, glanced over and saw that Lin Miao was jotting down a few book titles in his notes, planning to visit the library the next day. Huo Yuchuan didn’t pay much attention at first, but as he was about to look away, he caught sight of a sentence above the book titles.

He put down his documents and leaned in a bit. “What are you writing?”

Lin Miao replied, “Books I need to read tomorrow.”

Huo Yuchuan said, “The sentence above.”

Lin Miao glanced up and realized what he was referring to. He quickly tried to hide his phone. “Nothing, just random thoughts.”

Huo Yuchuan looked at him and said, “Let me see.”

Lin Miao shook his head.

Huo Yuchuan said, “I saw my name.”

“What,” Lin Miao said nervously, “I can’t write your name?”

Huo Yuchuan looked at him and suddenly said, “I’ve seen it all.”

Lin Miao let out a soft “Ah,” and Huo Yuchuan leaned over and whispered in his ear, “It says here, ‘Seems like I’m really happy when I’m with Huo Yuchuan…'”

Lin Miao’s cheeks turned red instantly. “I… I’ll delete it.”

He opened his notes app and was about to erase it when Huo Yuchuan grabbed his hand. Huo Yuchuan scrolled through the screen and saw more entries about “Huo Yuchuan.”

Falling in love with Huo Yuchuan, is this a dream?

Huo Yuchuan is so hot when he’s sick, like a warm sweet potato.

I scolded Huo Yuchuan today, and he seemed really upset…

Huo Yuchuan lied again, big liar!

How do you know if you like someone…

Huo Yuchuan said he liked me since junior high…

“Stop looking!” Lin Miao covered his phone, his face burning with embarrassment. “Just random thoughts!”

After starting college, he got used to jotting down things in his notes app, like club interviews, financial aid applications, homework topics, and so on. Eventually, he started writing random musings as well, whatever came to mind, like “Today’s homework is so hard,” “Going to eat hot pot this weekend,” “Slept in and missed class, the teacher took attendance, ahhhh…” His notes were a mix of plans and self-talk, capturing a brief yet fulfilling chapter of his life.

“You realize,” Huo Yuchuan’s fingertip brushed against his wrist as he spoke softly, “that ever since we met again two years ago, your notes are mostly about me.”

Lin Miao was taken aback and flipped through his notes again. It seemed that after reuniting with Huo Yuchuan, his name appeared more and more frequently.

Huo Yuchuan has grown so tall, he’s different from before.

Huo Yuchuan’s bed is so comfortable!

Why does Huo Yuchuan wake up so early? Poor guy, can’t sleep well at such a young age.

Huo Yuchuan is like Aladdin’s magic lamp, I can wish for anything to eat…

Some entries didn’t even have names, but it was clear who they were about.

Didn’t pick me up from the blind date, such a flirt!

So random with kissing, can’t help but kiss people when his mouth itches!

Upset, won’t talk to him for an hour!

Alright, half an hour is fine too…

Lin Miao turned off his phone screen, thought for a moment, and said, “Well, we live together, and you’re always in front of me, so of course it’s all about you…”

Huo Yuchuan said, “But you see your roommates and classmates every day too, why don’t you write about them?”

Lin Miao replied, “There’s nothing much to write about them…”

“What about me?” Huo Yuchuan looked down at him, “Am I that easy to write about?”

Lin Miao felt a bit lost, “I……”

Huo Yuchuan leaned in even closer, “Have you ever thought about when you started to like me?”

“Is it really just a little bit?”

Lin Miao stared at him blankly, opening his mouth slightly, “I……”

“Huo Yuchuan, get out here!” Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside. Huochengdong stormed into the office, cursing and pushing the door open. He saw Huo Yuchuan’s gloomy face, which seemed to be glaring at him as if he wanted to kill him.

Huochengdong: “……” I just raised my voice a bit, why is he so fierce?

His voice immediately dropped, but he still mustered the courage to say, “Are you playing me?! How am I supposed to sign that contract if I can’t even get in the door?”

The Yu Group’s building might as well have a sign at the entrance saying, “No entry for people with the surname Huo or dogs.”

Huo Yuchuan coldly said, “You know that now.”

“I knew it! You’re playing me!” Huochengdong indignantly said, “I don’t care, I want to be the manager!”

Lin Miao said sarcastically, “What skills do you have to be a manager?” He doesn’t seem very bright.

Huochengdong paused, as if just realizing there was someone else in the office, “Why is it you again?”

He couldn’t quite remember who Lin Miao was, only vaguely recalling something about a security guard, “Are you still working as a security guard here?”

Lin Miao: “……”

Lin Miao said indignantly, “Yes, I’m Huo Yuchuan’s personal security guard!”

Huochengdong realized, “A private bodyguard, huh.”

He looked Lin Miao up and down, not quite believing it, “With your thin arms and legs, can you really fight well?”

Huo Yuchuan blocked his view and coldly said, “Enough to beat you up.”

Huochengdong shrank back, but finally had to resort to Huomingzhe, “Big brother said I could stay here.”

Huo Yuchuan expressionlessly said, “Then be a security guard.”

Huochengdong: “I don’t want to!”

Huo Yuchuan: “Be an electrician then.”

Huochengdong: “No……”

Huo Yuchuan: “If you don’t shut up, you’ll be sweeping the trash.”

Huochengdong: “……”

In the end, Huochengdong left with a threat, “I’ll tell big brother that you made me sweep the trash!”

Then he stormed off.

After this disruption, Huo Yuchuan looked even more exhausted. Lin Miao, seeing his state, didn’t let him work overtime anymore. He dragged him downstairs, into the car, and back home.

On the way back, perhaps due to the cold medicine, Huo Yuchuan became drowsy and couldn’t stay awake for long. He leaned on Lin Miao and fell asleep.

Lin Miao felt his forehead; fortunately, he didn’t have a fever anymore.

He looked at Huo Yuchuan’s sleeping face, and his fingers couldn’t help but trace from his forehead to his straight nose, warm lips, down to his prominent Adam’s apple, and the open collar…

Lin Miao suddenly came to his senses and scolded himself in his mind, What am I doing? How could I just touch him like that, I’m not a pervert!

But then he thought again, Huo Yuchuan is my boyfriend now, can’t a boyfriend touch his boyfriend?

He couldn’t help but raise his hand again and slowly reached towards Huo Yuchuan’s collar…

Suddenly, he remembered that they weren’t alone in the car.

He instinctively glanced at Little Zheng driving in front.

Their eyes met in the rearview mirror.

Little Zheng said emotionlessly, “Sorry, I can’t cover my eyes, I might cause an accident.”

Lin Miao: “……”
