Chapter 59

       In the book that Suo Yang and Shen Huiming had been flipping through, there was a sentence—Confession is often more difficult than everyday communication.

       Suo Yang was a very introverted person in emotional expression. Compared with saying ‘I love you’, he was more willing to integrate this emotion into every detail of life to be perceived and discovered by the other party.

       He knew that confession was not something to be ashamed of, but he always had a hard time saying it.

       But at this moment, as they skated on the ice, the accelerated excitement made him feel derailed. He was detached from his original self, and he was desperately in need of conveying his love.

       He shouted loudly, calling his lover’s name and the phrase ‘I love you’ that Shen Huiming rarely heard.

       Shen Huiming actually knew very well that Suo Yang seldom said this sentence, not because the other party didn’t love him; it was all due to his personality. Whether a person loved himself or not, it didn’t matter what the other party said; what mattered was what he had done.

       Love was such a thing; although it sounded vague and elusive, had no substance and couldn’t be touched, in fact, once it really came, both the lover and the loved one could feel it.

       Shen Huiming felt Suo Yang’s love, so he was not obsessed with the phrase ‘I love you’.

       However, at this moment, he unexpectedly received Suo Yang’s confession, loud and clear, a few words thrown into the air, exploding into fireworks in broad daylight.

       When the two left the ice rink, Suo Yang was still in a giddy state. Their arms were tightly pressed together, and the backs of their hands touched each other from time to time.

       Back in the car, Shen Huiming turned around and pulled Suo Yang for a kiss without hesitation. He couldn’t worry so much anymore. Even if he was seen, he didn’t care.

       It had just snowed heavily the night before, and now it was snowing again.

       On the last day of the year, snowflakes silently covered the city, burying all the noise in the clean snow.

       Shen Huiming took Suo Yang to a cake shop, and the two made a birthday cake for Suo Yang with their own hands. After finishing the work, Suo Yang carefully wrote on it: Happy Birthday Shen Huiming’s Boyfriend.

       There were so many words squeezed into the cake that was not too big, and almost everything couldn’t fit in it at the end.

       Suo Yang leaned against Shen Huiming and smiled, “It looks like I’m very greedy.”

       “You can be more greedy,” Shen Huiming said, “after all, you are Shen Huiming’s boyfriend.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “You are a really arrogant person sometimes.”

       “That’s true,” Shen Huiming said again, “After all, I am Suo Yang’s boyfriend.”

       The two looked at each other and smiled, then went home with the cake.

       They went back to Shen Huiming’s house together because it was rumoured that there would be fireworks not far from here during New Year’s Eve, and they could see clearly from the balcony of Shen Huiming’s house without any mishaps.

       In winter, it got dark early, and it was already dark when they arrived home.

       They put down the cake, and they went downstairs to the supermarket to buy ingredients together. Shen Huiming was going to cook a birthday meal for Suo Yang tonight personally.

       When Suo Yang lived alone, he didn’t like to go to the supermarket. He ordered everything online and delivered it directly to his door. But after being with Shen Huiming, he suddenly began to enjoy the feeling of going to the supermarket with him.

       The two people walked into the warm supermarket, one pushing the shopping cart, the other picking the ingredients and turning around from time to time to ask, “How about this? Do you like this?”

       One of the most important things in life was the so-called ‘fireworks’. A strong sense of excitement that could arouse a person’s desire to live a good life.

       In the past, Suo Yang’s life was uneventful, let alone others; even he himself felt it lacked flavour and excitement.

       He was as bland as water1metaphor used to describe something ordinary/mundane, and it seemed that there was a kind of romantic independence from the world, but in fact, after experiencing the gentle world brought to him by Shen Huiming, Suo Yang never wanted to return to the cold and indifferent days before.

       It was like—he had seen the ocean; he couldn’t pretend he hadn’t.

       The two bought a cart full of ingredients, including some snacks.

       None of them liked to eat snacks, but when passing by the shelf, Shen Huiming carefully selected two packs of candies and put them in the shopping cart.

       He said, “In the future when you have a flight, put a candy I bought in your pocket. Consider it as me accompanying you on your journey.”

       Suo Yang laughed at him for being sentimental, but he confidently said, “That’s right, people in love always talk like this.”

       They returned from the supermarket, and the snow fell even more.

       Shen Huiming said, “We should come out and have a snowball fight and build a snowman.”

       He asked Suo Yang, “Did you have snowball fights with people when you were young?”

       Suo Yang’s hometown was only a three-hour high-speed train ride from the city where he currently lives. Both were in the northern region, so the climate and lifestyle were actually quite similar.

       But because of his family’s upbringing and his own personality, he never played anything.

       Suo Yang followed Shen Huiming into the building door, “No, when I was young, I hardly went out to play after school. Now that I’ve grown up, I can’t afford to play either.”

       “Then you haven’t met me,” Shen Huiming took his hand upstairs, “If you met me when you were a child, I would go to your window every day and ask you to come out to play.”

       Suo Yang imagined that scene and thought it was a bit funny.

       “Then I might get annoyed with you,” Suo Yang said, “You interrupted my study.”

       In the elevator, the two laughed together. Even a little joke between lovers was utterly adorable.

       This year, Suo Yang finally celebrated his birthday properly. His lover accompanied him and carefully cooked a large table of delicacies for him. In the middle of the table was the cake they made together. It didn’t look perfect, but because they made it by themselves, it had infinite added value.

       Shen Huiming put in a candle, and the number ‘28’ was lit.

       Shen Huiming said, “After today, until my birthday, there will be only a two-year age difference between the two of us.”

       “You care about age?”

       “No, what I mean is, even if you’re 28, I’m still your brother.” At this moment, the lights in the room were all turned off, with only the flickering candlelight reflecting on their faces. Both of them looked very gentle. Shen Huiming said, “You were very cooperative with me when we rented the sledges today. Have you been wanting to call me ge all along?”

       Suo Yang looked at him with a smile, “It’s just fine.”

       “Fine?”

       “Well,” Suo Yang paused, looking at him through the candlelight, “You enjoyed hearing it?”

       “You called me quite sexily,” Shen Huiming said. “As nasty as it sounds, it’s true. I almost couldn’t hold back my hard-on when you called me ge at that moment.”

       Suo Yang leaned on the table with both hands and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

       “I can’t believe you’re such a person.”

       “It wasn’t originally,” Shen Huiming said honestly, “After meeting you, maybe I’ve picked up some bad habits.”

       “Did I corrupt you?”

       “No. there are people who unintentionally captivate others, and I lose my composure every time I see you.” Shen Huiming thought for a while, then lowered his head and smiled, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you for your mobile phone number.”

       That was the first time they met. Suo Yang found Shen Huiming’s ticket holder and returned it to him. Seizing the opportunity, Shen Huiming tried to ask for Suo Yang’s contact information but was rejected.

       Shen Huiming always thought that he was a very self-controlled person, but since he met Suo Yang, this good quality of himself had disappeared in front of the other party.

       “Well… there is another nickname. You may like it better.” Suo Yang said, “Although today is my birthday, to thank you for making me so happy, I’ll give you a gift. Do you want me to call you ‘ge’ or choose another nickname?”

       “What could it be?”

       “You choose first, and then I’ll tell you.” Suo Yang looked at him with a smile, “Do you want to play safe? Or do you want to take a risk?”

       Shen Huiming looked at him, with a table of delicious food and a birthday cake between them.

       He stretched out his hand, “Touch my hand, let me sense it.”

       Suo Yang laughed out loud, complaining about his childishness, but still reached out to him.

       Shen Huiming held his hand, rubbed the back of his hand lightly, and said, “I’ll choose another one.”

       “No regrets?”

       “No regrets.”

       Suo Yang went around the dining table and walked to Shen Huiming’s side.

       He approached slowly and put his arms around his neck.

       Their foreheads touched, and Suo Yang’s lips parted slightly, “Husband.”

       His voice was so soft that Shen Huiming couldn’t even tell if it was his hallucination.

       Shen Huiming suddenly put his arms around Suo Yang’s waist and asked him uncertainly, “What did you call me just now?”

       “Husband.” Suo Yang looked at him and smiled, the lips of the two almost touched together “Do you like me to call you this?”

       Suo Yang himself couldn’t explain why he suddenly became so bold today; he confessed loudly outside and broke through his shame when they returned home and called Shen Huiming, his husband.

       Shen Huiming was dazzled by the joy. He never expected Suo Yang to call him that.

       From ‘Mr. Shen’ to ‘Huiming’, it took him a lot of thought and effort. Shen Huiming knew Suo Yang’s character very well, and he never expected to ask for more from the other party.

       He didn’t ask for it, but his Suo Yang took the initiative to give it to him.

       Shen Huiming couldn’t help hugging and kissing him, regardless of whether the burning candle had dripped on the cake or whether the cooked food was getting cold, he pushed Suo Yang against the wall, and the two of them embraced each other in a passionate and lingering kiss.

       The book they read together said—we began the longest and best kiss in human history.

       As for Suo Yang, he also understood another sentence in the book—it is easier to fire Cupid’s arrow than to receive them, and it is easier to give than to receive.

       It turned out that expressing love was such a joyful thing. When he watched Shen Huiming excited and satisfied because of his expression of love, his life seemed to become richer and more worthy of celebration.

       “Why are you so proactive today?” Shen Huiming bit Suo Yang’s lip lightly and asked.

       “Because I love you.” Suo Yang looked straight into his eyes and said, “And I also hope you can know that I love you.”

Chapter 46 – Weakness

       Xu Ye never asked about the cause and result of that accident. He vaguely felt that those people were coming for him, but he didn’t know what he had done to provoke those people to kill him.

       His master had been very busy during this period, but despite this, he often stayed with him at home, and sometimes even meetings were held at home. Xu Ye had an intuition that the things Chu Yu was dealing with were related to the accident and that things were far more complicated and troublesome than he imagined. So he was not in a hurry to explore the truth because he knew that Chu Yu would definitely give him an answer.

       The days he spent leisurely at home were also quite fulfilling. In addition to reading boring economic and legal books, Xu Ye also learnt cooking skills from Uncle Ye. Yesterday, accidentally shattered the celadon bowl that Chu Yu had acquired through a high-priced auction. Uncle Ye and the kitchen assistant were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The three of them studied for a long time and couldn’t glue it back together. Finally, Xu Ye confessed and was punished by kneeling for an hour.

       On Thursday morning, he was following the steps on the computer to learn how to bake cookies when the doorbell rang. It was Chu Xuan who came, and there were more than a dozen well-trained black-clad attendants standing outside the door.

       Before xiao Xun could finish his sentence, “Third Young Master, why are you here?” the other party had already turned to Xu Ye and said coldly, “Follow me.”

       “Third Young Master!” Xiao Xun stopped him in a deep voice, “I can’t let you take him away until I receive a direct order from the Second Young Master.”

       Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing into a playful expression, “Can you stop me?”

       The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Eight bodyguards who stayed outside the house jumped in from the window and protected Xu Ye in the centre. And more than ten men in black outside the door also approached the house.

       Chu Xuan raised his hand to stop their actions and looked at Xiao Xun calmly, “If I haven’t received orders, I won’t come to snatch someone from Second Brother’s territory. You should already know who has the authority to give me orders. I must take him away today. As for whether things get physical, that’s for you to consider.”

       Silence spread. Butler Xiao, who had always been calm, looked a little pale at the moment. The Second Young Master had been unable to be contacted since just now. Once Xu Ye was taken away from here, it would be difficult to predict what would happen. However, he couldn’t disobey the person who gave the order…

       “I’ll go with you.” Xu Ye, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

       “Young Master Xu!” Xiao Xun was shocked.

       “It’s okay.” He rubbed his hands covered with sticky dough on his apron and smiled at Chu Xuan, “Please wait a moment. I have to wash my hands and change my clothes. It wouldn’t be presentable to go out like this.”

 

       The car was speeding on the straight road, getting further and further away from the centre of K City. This road was very familiar to Xu Ye; it was the direction to Donglin.

       “Why aren’t you asking any questions?” Chu Xuan, who was sitting next to him, said calmly.

       Xu Ye raised the corner of his lips, “Even if I ask, you may not necessarily answer. Rather than making both sides awkward, it’s better not to ask anything. In the end, we’ll find out anyway.”

       The man looked at him for a while and said, “You are different from before.”

       “For the better, or for the worse?” Xu Ye turned his face sideways.

       Chu Xuan was stared at by his deep, dark eyes, and for some reason, a wave of restlessness surged in his heart. He turned away without speaking.

       The car stopped at the gate of a manor.

       Xu Ye followed Chu Xuan through the intricate Chinese-style garden, walking along the ornate corridor towards the main residence. Everywhere they looked, there were beautifully designed rockeries and clear ponds, lush trees, and blooming flowers. The black-clad bodyguards within the estate respectfully stepped aside in silence as they approached.

       There was a bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the large reception room. The sunlight filtered in through the open wooden lattice window, casting a layer of soft light on the intricately carved mahogany furniture. The man sitting on the main seat held a white porcelain bowl in his hand, frowned slightly, and drank the black concoction in one gulp.

       “Father.” Chu Xuan, abandoning his usual aloof demeanour, straightened his posture and talk in a low voice, “I brought him here.”

       Xu Ye’s heart skipped a beat. Even though he had made a rough guess on the road, he still felt nervous when he saw the real person. After all, this man was a renowned underworld figure, a wealthy legend in the business world, and Chu Yu’s father. The man, who had a dominating reputation, didn’t emanate the sinister and ruthless aura Xu Ye had imagined. Instead, he was lean and elegant. But when he raised his eyes, the sharpness contained in those bright eyes with a sense of oppression made people unconsciously hold their breath in awe. This kind of imposing presence, not born of anger but sheer authority, was crafted through the trials of time, and it exuded from his very essence, impossible to replicate.

       The empty bowl in his hand was taken over by the attendant servant, and Chu Guangye glanced at Xu Ye lightly.

       “Hello, Mr. Chu, I’m Xu Ye.” As someone younger, he should naturally take the initiative to greet him.

       “Sit down.” The man’s hair was dyed grey with time. He was wearing linen Chinese clothes. There was no emotion or anger on his thin face. He asked, “How long have you been with my second son?”

       He sat down on the mahogany chair next to Chu Xuan and answered honestly, “More than three months.”

       “What do you think of him?”

       Xu Ye looked slightly red and replied, “…very good.”

       “So after you get Donglin’s land, you still don’t plan to leave him?” In Chu Guangye’s eyes, there were surges of hidden turmoil.

       Xu Ye was startled, with a wry smile on his lips, “Mr. Chu knows the character of the second young master very well. If I approached him with that kind of motive, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the chance to sit here and meet you today.” He paused, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, “I’ve put in a lot of effort to secure the Donglin project. The Second Young Master’s decision to invest wasn’t solely based on our personal relationship. From the current perspective, the project is progressing smoothly. I can’t guarantee what the financial situation will be like after the grand opening next spring, but I’m confident that Golden Eagle’s investment won’t go to waste. As for the relationship between us…” He pursed his lips and said softly, “As absurd as it may sound, I love him. You are his father, and I would very much like to have your permission.”

       This was said very sincerely. Chu Xuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at him silently, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect Xu Ye to be so calm in front of the old man.

       In fact, the person involved was already so nervous that even his fingers were cold. He sat stiffly on the chair, his heart beating as if he was overspeeding.

       Chu Guangye looked at him for a while and said, “What if I don’t allow it?”

       Xu Ye was stunned, tightened his fingers, and raised his face with determination, “I will not leave Chu Yu until he lets me go.”

       As if hearing something interesting, Chu Guangye smiled and said, “Young man, you need to understand one thing. If I don’t agree, the Second won’t have the ability to keep you.”

       The strong sense of oppression in that gaze made Xu Ye shiver. He knew this wasn’t a bluff. After Chu Guangye started the Black Eagle Society and successfully cleaned it up, he left all business matters to his three sons, and he lived in seclusion and seldom took any action. However, what he saw and heard when he entered this mansion made Xu Ye feel that the old man Chu was the one who really controlled everything. No one could challenge his authority.

       “I’m not the old-fashioned, stubborn man you think I am. It doesn’t matter what Chu Yu likes to do or whether his bed partner is a man or a woman. Your relationship is your business, and I won’t interfere. Life is short, and I never waste time on trivial matters.” He looked at Xu Ye, who was completely stunned and continued, “Originally, I didn’t need to meet you, but the Second did something that crossed the line, and I need to teach him a lesson.” He made a gesture, and not long after, two black-clothed bodyguards pushed the door in, and then a figure walked in.

       When he saw clearly the figure, Xu Ye could no longer sit still; he stood up suddenly, but Chu Xuan grabbed him and warned him in a low voice, “Sit down obediently. This is not a place where you can do whatever you want.”

       He sat down stiffly, his eyes tremblingly falling on the whip-scarred Chu Yu, and he felt as if his heart was being tightened. The white shirt was torn out by the whip, and red marks were faintly revealed, which must have been broken skin and blood.

       Chu Yu, who was kneeling in the middle of the room, also saw him. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at his father with steaming anger in his eyes. His voice sounded like ice, “He has nothing to do with this matter.”

       “The rules are always determined by the stronger party. Until you’ve fully matured, everything is decided by me.” Chu Guangye took a sip of tea leisurely, “After receiving thirty lashes, do you now know where you went wrong?”

       Chu Yu lowered his eyes, “Calling the Dark agents without your consent. Taking the risk of touching those old guys without adequate preparation. A miscalculation that escalated the situation.”

       “That’s all?” Chu Guangye smiled, “Go on, ten lashes.”

       Watching the bodyguard wielding a soft black whip without hesitation towards Chu Yu’s back, Xu Ye couldn’t help but want to plead, only to hear Chu Xuan say in a deep voice, “In the Chu family’s rules, pleading intensifies the punishment. Do you want the Second Brother to be hurt even more severely?”

       Chu Yu forced himself to endure the pain and remained silent, keeping his eyes on Xu Ye as if to reassure him. Watching the man who had always walked ahead steadfastly, shielding him from wind and rain, the man he looked up to, now kneeling quietly and enduring the lashes, each strike felt like a blow to his own heart for Xu Ye. He bit his lip tightly, his eyes reddening.

       After ten lashes, Chu Guangye asked, “Do you understand now?”

       The whip used for this kind of punishment was wrapped with black gold wire. It was thin and heavy, and it hurt terribly when it hit the body. Chu Yu panted lightly and said, “Understood. I wasn’t ruthless enough. I had too many concerns about those old folks, gave Song Wanhua the opportunity to gather support and form factions.”

       “You still have to be beaten to learn quickly.” Chu Guangye raised the corner of his lips, looked at his second son kneeling on the ground and said, “Figure out the next steps on your own. If your actions are not smooth and cause instability in the entire Golden Eagle, I won’t hesitate to abandon you and use you as a target.”

       “I understand, father.” Chu Yu stood up, and a bodyguard in black immediately put a clean coat on him.

       “As for your weakness, leave it with me for the time being.” After Chu Guangye finished speaking, he stood up and left.

       Xu Ye looked at the injuries on his body, stretched out his hand, but did not dare to touch it. There was a bitterness in his throat that would not go away, and he asked softly, “Does it hurt?”

       Seeing the worry in the other person’s eyes, Chu Yu couldn’t help but smile. “It hurts, but…” He pointed his index finger at Xu Ye’s lips and said, “If someone could comfort me, maybe it wouldn’t hurt as much.”

       Xu Ye’s face turned slightly red, and he raised his neck and kissed the slightly curved thin lips. He took the initiative to open his mouth and wrap it around the man’s tongue, letting the other person sweep every inch of his warm mouth. It was a familiar scent that made him feel at ease.

       The sunlight shone in from the window, forming rays of light that were within reach, illuminating the tiny rolling dust particles in the air.

       The room was charmingly cosy and warm.

       A slight cough broke the kiss between the two. Xu Ye took half a step back as if his tail had been stepped on, blushing in embarrassment.

       How could he ignore the big man beside him…

       “Second brother.” Chu Xuan said bravely, “It was the old man who ordered me to bring Xu Ye here.”

       Chu Yu glanced at him, “I will settle this account with you slowly when I have time.”

       “…I’ll get you some ointment.” He quickly disappeared.

       Xu Ye couldn’t help but laugh, “Why is the Third Young Master so afraid of you?”

       “Because I often beat him when I was young.” Chu Yu sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and Xu Ye sat next to him, watching the koi fish swimming slowly in the pond. The man raised his hand and touched his head, “Are you scared to come here alone?”

       “It was a bit overwhelming at first, but then I saw you…well, I felt a lot more at ease.”

       “The old man likes you very much.” Chu Yu looked at his expression full of disbelief and smiled, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow you to stay.”

       “Allow me to stay?” Xu Ye was confused and looked at the man with flashing eyes. The phrase ‘As for your weakness, leave it with me for the time being’ suddenly flashed through his mind, and he was stunned.

       The wind passed between the two of them, blowing up the dark coat on the man’s body, and there was a unique gentleness in his deep voice.

       “Xu Ye, my only weakness is you.”

Chapter 45 – Inconvenience

       Under Chu Yu’s arrangement, Xu Ye’s treatment process could only be described as ‘very positive’. Xu Ye felt that his master might think that he was no longer smart, so he had to actively rescue him to prevent him from becoming stupider.

       In the past two days, he was forced to do all the examinations he could. He was forced to go through all the possible checks, examining himself thoroughly inside and out, even until some cavities were discovered. Chu Yu mobilized a team of experts to study his brain for a whole day and finally determined that there were no other abnormalities except a forehead skin injury and a moderate concussion.

       He felt that Chu Yu was blaming himself, so he said nothing and let the doctors and nurses push him in and out for examination. Chu Yu wouldn’t let him get out of bed, and he would lie down obediently. Chu Yu would feed him, and he would eat in big bites. Chu Yu would push off his work and stay with him every night without saying anything, but… Xu Ye was completely speechless when he saw another bed being pushed in by the bodyguards and placed tightly next to his hospital bed.

       Second Young Master Chu was not used to sleeping on the sofa, so he wanted to make a double bed in the ward!

       Xu Ye also remembered that after Leopard woke up from surgery the night before yesterday, he wanted to see him, but the man carried him directly into the ward next to him. Leopard and the doctors and nurses didn’t know where to look. He, too, couldn’t speak with a blushing face in that man’s arms.

       If this continued, the ward would be converted into a bedroom. Xu Ye saw Chu Yu lying down, leaned over a little, and called softly, “Master…”

       This was the first time Xu Ye called him that way after the injury. Chu Yu curled his lips and spoke in a gentle tone, “Do you need something from me?”

       Xu Ye, who was exposed by the words, blinked, “I want to go home.”

       “Your injuries haven’t healed yet.”

       “It’s just applying some medicine next, anyway, and then get some more rest; it’s the same at home. Besides, staying in the hospital is boring, and it’s inconvenient.”

       The man raised his eyes, “What’s inconvenient?”

       Xu Ye looked at him with those clear black and white eyes for a while, then leaned over and pecked him quickly on the lips, then pulled back, blushing and whispered, “This kind of inconvenient.”

       Chu Yu smiled, touched his head and said, “I’ll take you back tomorrow. Now, sleep well.”

       The second young master kept his promise and allowed him to be discharged from the hospital the next day.

       Before leaving, Xu Ye made a special trip to see Leopard.

       The tall and sturdy man was wrapped in gauze and lay flat on the bed like a mummy. Four of his ribs were broken, one of which was stabbed diagonally into his lung, and he underwent four surgeries in two days. He was able to come back from the brink of death, firstly, by his own strong will, and secondly, by timely and effective surgical treatment. Chu Yu spent a lot of resources to save him, asked a team of experts to formulate a postoperative recovery plan, and hired three professional nurses to take turns taking care of him day and night.

       Xu Ye stood beside the hospital bed, looking at Leopard lying motionless. He thought of the way he rushed over to protect him, and it pained him deeply. He said with red eyes, “Leopard, I owe you a life. Whatever I can do to help, as long as you ask, I will try my best to do it for you. You should get better soon.”

       Leopard couldn’t move or speak. He only blinked at him to show that he heard him, and there was a bit of warmth in his eyes.

       He used to be a soldier. After he was discharged, he worked as a security guard in a commercial building owned by Golden Eagle. When he saw his supervisor molesting a female employee, he went up and beat him up without saying a word. Surprisingly, it was not him but the supervisor who was fired the next day, and he became the head of the security team. Not long after, group executive Tang Can came to him, and the first thing he asked was, “Are you willing to sell your life to me?”

       He was an orphan and had nothing to worry about. His employer offered him a generous salary, so he was willing to dedicate his life to his employer. But he didn’t expect that the person Tang Can asked him to protect was actually the young master of a wealthy conglomerate. During the more than two years with Chu Yu, he worked diligently and carefully. Chu Yu trusted him very much and never excluded him from discussions, even on extremely important occasions. He once asked the second young master face to face how he could believe him, and Chu Yu smiled and replied, “People with clear eyes are usually loyal.” An old man was described as having ‘clear eyes’, which made him so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to say. He was moved by such trust and secretly determined to remain loyal to the Second Young Master Chu for the rest of his life, even if it meant to die taking a bullet for him.

       Later, when Chu Yu sent him to be Xu Ye’s bodyguard, he felt a little aggrieved. In his eyes, Xu Ye was just a vase or a pet, not worth following at all. But since the second young master said, “I’ll leave his safety to you. Take good care of him”, he did his best. When his arm was broken, he smiled bitterly in his heart. It was a pity that he had to die for a pet. But when he saw Xu Ye rushing out of the car to save himself, he suddenly felt that it was worth sacrificing his life here. He really didn’t realize that this kid was actually a man…

       When he woke up after the operation, he made up his mind again. When he got better, and if the second young master agreed, he would work as a bodyguard for this kid again and never let anyone hurt a single strand of his hair in the future.

       Of course, Xu Ye didn’t know what was going on in Leopard’s heart. At that moment, all he felt was guilt and unbearableness. He made a long promise, promising to compensate him in this way and thank him in that way. He even said, “If you are bored, I can come to the hospital every day to chat with you, read to you, or watch a film with you.” Leopard glanced at the second young master, whose smile didn’t really reach his eyes and almost broke into a cold sweat. He thought to himself, ‘I finally survived. Young master Xu, you are trying to kill me again…’ Unable to speak, he expressed his plea through his eyes, seeking help from his boss, Tang Chan, who stood behind him.

       Tang Can suppressed his laughter and advised, “Master Xu, Leopard needs to rest.”

       Xu Ye snorted and made an appointment to see him next time before following Chu Yu. Leopard breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and continued his mummification.

 

       Back at Hanguan No. 8, xiao Xun and his servant stood at the door to greet him.

       As soon as Xu Ye entered the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s good to be back and feel at ease.” After saying this, he suddenly realized that his words were completely inappropriate, and his cheeks immediately flushed with embarrassment.

       When did he start to consider this place as his home by default in his heart?

       “Second Young Master.”

       “Second Young Master.”

       Someone spoke in unison. Xu Ye looked towards the living room when he heard the sound and found six or seven senior executives standing respectfully. He was immediately embarrassed, nodded his head to say hello, and then looked at the man next to him with a blushing face. When he saw the playful smile in the other person’s eyes, he finally turned completely red. He whispered, “I’m going back to the room first.” and was about to run away, but Chu Yu grabbed his wrist.

       “I have something to tell you.” The man stopped smiling and looked very serious.

       Xu Ye stopped in surprise.

       “First, for the sake of your health, you will stay here until the wound heals.” There was no room for bargaining in Chu Yu’s tone.

       Xu Ye nodded. He didn’t hate life here, and he seemed to be getting more and more used to being around Chu Yu, feeling safe and relaxed.

       “Second, for your safety, during this period, you are not allowed to go out without my permission.” This clause involved movement restriction. Chu Yu thought he would resist, but Xu Ye thought for a while and obeyed. He nodded again, like a gentle and harmless rabbit.

       “As for the third point, it’s a matter of discipline.” The man’s eyes were filled with warmth and as gentle as water. “When I come back from now on, I expect you to welcome me at the door and greet me proactively.”

       “Greetings?” The rabbit, who listened carefully with his ears perked up, expressed confusion. Did this mean he wanted him to bow…

       “As a demonstration.” Before Chu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly put his arm around his waist, raised his chin with the other hand and lowered his head to kiss him. Xu Ye was startled by the sudden kiss, and an unuttered exclamation was blocked in his throat. It was not until the man’s aggressive lips and tongue completely invaded his mouth that he instinctively closed his eyes and raised his neck.

       With warm body temperature, soft lips, and the sweet taste of chocolate eaten on the road, they were close enough that they could feel each other’s heartbeats.

       The person he held close to his heart was still alive, and he had almost lost him.

       This thought made Chu Yu’s movements more intense. He clasped the back of Xu Ye’s neck and went deeper and deeper out of control like a thirsty traveller encountering a sweet spring. He lingered, entangled, and demanded until the person in his arms became soft and unable to breathe. After falling into his arms, he reluctantly let go and asked, “Have you learned?”

       Xu Ye was so confused by his kiss that he even lost his ability to think. When he came back to his senses, he remembered that there was a circle of spectators nearby. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He was embarrassed to say anything for a long time.

       “Want me to demonstrate again?” Chu Yu said with a smile.

       Xu Ye held back his blushing face in embarrassment and choked out two words that sounded like mosquitoes’s cry, “It’s okay…”

       “Very good.” The man looked in the direction of the sofa and said, “Say hello. They are all my subordinates.”

       Xu Ye was a little confused because he had no interaction with these people, and there was no need to know them. But he knew that Chu Yu’s arrangements always had his reasons, so he said softly, “Hello, I am Xu Ye.”

       “Young Master Xu.” Several people responded at the same time and then introduced themselves respectively. They were all kind and respectful.

       The senior executives under Chu Yu were well aware of their young master’s interests and hobbies. To them, the second master’s subs were just pets, and there was no need for interaction or respect. So Xu Ye’s appearance took them by surprise. They checked Xu Ye’s background and described it in four words—clean, ordinary, safe and harmless.

       It’s precisely because of individuals like him that the usually calm as ice Young Master’s heart became less passive. Looking back now, Chu Yu’s expression at the moment of Xu Ye’s accident still made them palpitate. They didn’t expect that this timid-looking young man would rush out to save a bodyguard in that situation. These executives, who navigated both sides of the law, naturally understood the value of camaraderie, bravery, and kindness in times of crisis. That incident made Xu Ye’s status in their hearts begin to change, and even the usually proud Tang Chan developed a measure of respect for him.

       Xu Ye didn’t understand why Chu Yu wanted to introduce him to his subordinates, but these cadres understood. This was the second young master clearly indicating Xu Ye’s status to them. In this formal introduction, Chu Yu did not explain Xu Ye’s identity because this identity no longer needed to be explained.

       —He is my man.

       Everyone knew the hidden meaning behind this sentence.

       “Go upstairs and rest for a while.” Chu Yu looked at him with extremely gentle eyes.

       Xu Ye nodded and smiled at him.

Chapter 58

       It might have something to do with the nature of his job, but it was difficult for Suo Yang to sleep well if he was not at his own home. However, since he met Shen Huiming, he could sleep well even if he stayed at the other party’s home. He also slept very comfortably that night at his parents’ house. He had a dreamless night, and when he woke up, he felt no fatigue.

       When he opened his eyes, Shen Huiming had already woken up and was lying there replying to his assistant’s message.

       “Morning.” Suo Yang greeted him softly.

       Shen Huiming turned to look at him, smiled and kissed him, “Happy birthday.”

       Suo Yang almost forgot that today was his birthday.

       He lay there, looked at Shen Huiming and smiled, “Thank you.”

       After replying to the assistant’s message, Shen Huiming lay down again, hugged Suo Yang and asked, “How was it? Did you sleep well last night?”

       Last night, after Shen Huiming finished showering, Suo Yang was already sitting in the bedroom chair, waiting for him. They chatted for a while, mostly about family matters. Suo Yang mentioned that, if possible, he would like to find time to go back home and visit.

       Actually, he had been thinking about it all along, wanting to return, even if it meant just catching a distant glimpse of his parents and asking the neighbours about their well-being. However, he never had the courage.

       However, he never dared to do so.

       Suo Yang, who often appeared invulnerable, was not truly invulnerable. He had his own worries and fears about things he hesitated to do.

       He used to be afraid, but now, with Shen Huiming in his life, he felt that Shen Huiming and Shen Huiming’s parents had given him new hope and courage.

       Maybe everything wasn’t so irreparable after all.

       After chatting for a while, the two fell asleep, lying on the same bed, covered with a quilt.

       They embraced each other and soon fell asleep, inhaling the scent of each other’s shampoo and shower gel, which was the same as their own.

       “Very good.” Suo Yang kissed Shen Huiming’s forehead, “Especially when I saw you as soon as I opened my eyes, I felt better.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “When did you learn to say such cheesy things?”

       “That cheesy?”

       “A little bit,” Shen Huiming’s fingers lightly brushed his collarbone, “but I like it very much.”

       Suo Yang smiled, grabbed his fingers and kissed him, “Let’s get up? Don’t let Uncles and Auntie wait for us.”

       “Alright, I’ll count three, two, one, and we’ll sit up together.” Shen Huiming said, “Three, one!”

       Then he sat up first.

       Suo Yang looked at him helplessly and smiled, “Very childish.”

       Shen Huiming pulled him up, “Then do you like it?”

       “Quite like it.” Suo Yang sat up and stretched.

       The two got out of bed and left the room. Shen Huiming’s father had already prepared breakfast.

       Like a warm family of four, they sat down together eating buns and porridge.

       After eating and drinking enough, Shen Huiming’s parents were ready to go to work, and the two juniors were also ready to go out.

       Today was Suo Yang’s birthday, and Shen Huiming had come up with a last-minute plan.

       When they came out from Shen Huiming’s parents’ place, Shen Huiming said, “Suo Yang, why don’t we go back to your hometown today?”

       Suo Yang was stunned. He didn’t expect Shen Huiming to say this so suddenly.

       Although Suo Yang asked Shen Huiming to accompany him back when he got up in the morning, he was actually not ready yet, and he was still nervous, worried, and afraid.

       “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to visit today,” Shen Huiming said, “I just thought today is your birthday, we’ll have New Year’s Eve tonight, and tomorrow is New Year’s Day. It’s a perfect day for a family reunion.”

       Suo Yang hesitated.

       When Shen Huiming saw his hesitation, he held his hand and said, “It’s okay, let’s talk about it some other time. Let’s stick to our original plan today.”

       Suo Yang looked at Shen Huiming gratefully.

       “Don’t look at me like that,” Shen Huiming smiled, “This is what I should do.”

       “No,” Suo Yang said, “Even if you are a lover, you don’t have all the obligations to do these things. If you do it, it is due to your affection, and if you don’t do it, it is a matter of course. Your willingness to consider all this shows how well you treat me.”

       Shen Huiming clicked his tongue. There was really nothing to be done about him.

       The two of them went home first, changed their clothes, took a brief rest and then went out.

       Since Suo Yang didn’t want to go back to his hometown now, they should spend this day according to the original plan.

       Before going out, Shen Huiming asked Suo Yang to wear thicker clothes and then drove to the shopping mall to buy thick hats and gloves.

       Suo Yang asked, “Going skiing?”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “It’s more interesting than skiing.”

       Suo Yang was very curious but didn’t ask too many questions. He kept his thoughts to himself and obediently followed Shen Huiming wherever he went.

       Shen Huiming drove him to the small park where the two of them used to row boats. The last time they came was in autumn, but now the lake was frozen, and the boating event had already stopped.

       The boat could no longer be rowed, but there are new ways to play.

       When Suo Yang stood by the frozen lake, his expression was surprised.

       “How is it? Are you afraid?” Shen Huiming asked him with a smile.

       At this time, the lake was covered with thick ice, and many adults and children were playing around on it.

       “When I was young, I used to come here to sledge in the winter.” Shen Huiming said. “At that time, there were no merchants renting sledges here. My little sledges were made by my father himself.”

       Suo Yang never had such childhood memories.

       In his memory, he rarely came out to play. He usually went to school and cram school, and his parents locked him at home when they went out to work during the holidays.

       He had very few friends since he was a child, and he wasn’t very fond of making friends. He didn’t have much interest in these fun things outside and couldn’t understand why so many classmates enjoyed going out to play.

       Later, as he grew a bit older and went to college, he gradually interacted with more people and experienced a lot of things. He suddenly realised that his limited past experiences had left his perspective very narrow. He came to understand that the seemingly dull things in life weren’t really dull; he just hadn’t enjoyed them before, and no one had ever told him how to enjoy them. So, he had simply kept his distance to avoid feeling out of place.

       Shen Huiming said, “It’s very safe, don’t be afraid.”

       Suo Yang used to be afraid of water, but Shen Huiming held his hand and swam in the lake.

       Facts had proved that as long as Shen Huiming was there, everything seemed to be nothing to be afraid of.

       He smiled, “Okay, let me experience the joy of your childhood today.”

       Shen Huiming smiled at him and took him to rent a sledge together.

       Most of the people who came here to play with the sledges were children. They were two adults, or two men, renting the sledges. The boss was a big brother in his forties and jokingly said to them, “You two seem to have a lot of zest for life!”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “Yes, my little brother’s birthday is today, so I brought him here to reminisce about his childhood.”

       Standing behind Shen Huiming, Suo Yang suddenly felt that the title ‘my little brother’ was cute.

       He also smiled, “Ge, should we rent a bigger one?”

       Shen Huiming almost reacted when he called him ‘Ge’. He looked back at Suo Yang and happened to bump into his smiling eyes.

       A somewhat less ‘elegant’ thought popped up in his mind, which he suppressed for the time being, but he could bring it up again at night.

       “A bigger one will do,” said the boss, “It looks like both of you have long legs. The shorter one might feel uncomfortable and a bit cramped!”

       The two of them rented a large-sized sledge, the kind where two people could sit together. Typically, double sledges or multi-person sledges have front and back seats, but this place had the ‘luxury edition’ where you could sit side by side, like a double-seat mini sofa, perfect for couples to play together.

       Of course, the boss only thought of them as brothers who had a good relationship but didn’t look alike and didn’t think of them as lovers at all.

       After paying the deposit, the boss reminded them of the precautions and confirmed the time with them. Finally, he said, “Have fun.” and opened the door to let them out.

       After the two went out, Shen Huiming asked Suo Yang to sit down first and then sat beside him.

       Suo Yang was actually a bit afraid. He felt like he might have a tendency towards irrational paranoia. Even while walking on the ice, he subconsciously imagined the ice cracking and them falling into the winter lake.

       Shen Huiming sat down and handed a long stick with a sharp steel drill to Suo Yang, “Use this to stick on the ice, push it backwards, and we can slide forward.”

       Suo Yang, who had never played before, found it novel, so he took it and stuck the sharp point on the ice.

       “Yes, that’s it.” Shen Huiming held Suo Yang with one hand, and with the other hand holding the long stick, he stuck it on the ice, “I’ll count to three, two, one, and we’ll push together. “

       “Wait a minute!” Suo Yang suddenly stopped.

       “What’s wrong?” Shen Huiming asked him suspiciously.

       Suo Yang looked at him and said, “Do you count three, two, one this time or three, one?”

       Shen Huiming remembered his prank from the morning and leaned against him and laughed out loud, “Three to one, it’s three, two, one, this time I will definitely not mess with you.”

       Suo Yang was relieved, nodded solemnly and said, “Okay, then you count.”

       Shen Huiming held back a smile and finished counting ‘three, two, one’. The two of them pushed hard at the same time, and the ice sledge carried them out.

       This feeling was quite different from rowing a boat. When rowing, it was more leisurely, with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. However, sliding on the sledge was faster, and it provided a more thrilling and exciting experience.

       At the very beginning, Suo Yang was a little scared. He held Shen Huiming tightly with his gloved hand, and his muscles were a little tense. He dared not relax at all, and the two of them held hands from beginning to end.

       On his twenty-eighth birthday, Shen Huiming took him back to the time when he was eight years old.

       In the twelfth lunar month of winter, regardless of the cold wind, even if their face was freezing and burning, they still kept laughing.

       People who love each other would not only grow up together and grow old together but also unload all the baggage together to return to a carefree childhood.

       As they glided across the ice, Suo Yang suddenly remembered the feeling of flying as a flight attendant for the first time, very free, very satisfying, carefree and at ease.

       “I love you!” Suo Yang suddenly yelled forward as the ice sledge moved forward quickly.

       Shen Huiming was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at him in surprise.

       Suo Yang held Shen Huiming’s hand tightly, and he shouted, “Shen Huiming! I love you!”

Chapter 44 – An Accident

       The Donglin project was progressing smoothly. This coveted treasure land finally fell into White Crane’s hands, which surprised many people. On the day the construction began, Mr. Chu, who had always kept a low profile, was actually present in person, which attracted even more interest in the resort.

       Ever since he found out that his son and Young Master Chu were together, Xu Ting had aged a lot a while, and his enthusiasm for the project had also faded. Apart from handling affairs in the company, he just enjoyed flowers and birds at home, and his relationship with his wife had gotten much better. Xu Ye went to the construction site almost every day for project construction matters. When he and his father met occasionally, they only talked about business matters, and both of them avoided talking about things that might cause conflicts.

       That day, Zhou Jia called him and asked him to go home for dinner. Xu Ye was completely stunned when he saw Chu Yu at the dinner table.

       The meal turned out to be unexpectedly harmonious. Zhou Jia was diligent in picking up the food while Xu Ting and Chu Yu were talking about business matters. Xu Ye seemed like an outsider, lowering his head to eat, but immediately slowed down when the man glanced at him.

       After dinner, Chu Yu went into the study and talked with Xu Ting for about half an hour.

       Xu Ye was leaning on the door like a gecko and eavesdropping. However, the soundproofing performance of the study was so good that not a single sound could come through. When the door opened, he had no time to hide. He staggered and almost fell but was held by Chu Yu. His face was hot, and he moved his arms grandly, “Uh, it’s a bit boring. I’m exercising my body…”

       Xu Ting glanced at him and said, “You’ve got to be kidding.”

       Chu Yu smiled faintly and said, “I’ll take my leave now, Uncle Xu and Auntie. I’ll come see you two when I have time.”

       “Okay. Xu Ye, you can send Xiao Yu off for me.”

       Xiaoxiaoxiao…Xiaoyu?! What’s up with the scary names ‘Uncle Xu’ and ‘Auntie’? Xu Ye stared at the familiar strangers before him with wide eyes, speechless and choked. After accompanying the man to the door, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what did you and my dad talk about?”

       After a few steps, Chu Yu turned around, and a hint of a playful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Want to know? Let me have a lot of fun tonight.” After saying that, he left, leaving Xu Ye standing with a red face.

       That night, Xu Ye started out very excited, planning to get some information out of the situation. However, in the end, he ended up bound to the bed, blindfolded, and cried until the cloth covering his eyes soaked. He didn’t even have the strength to plead and barely remembered what he originally intended to do. He could only faintly recall his master holding him and whispering intoxicating words that made him want to listen to it over and over again.

 

       In mid-November, Chu Yu’s birthday was approaching. Xu Ye managed to find some free time in his busy schedule and squeezed out a moment during lunch to have Leopard take him to the Huilong Building to buy a gift.

       After carefully considering his options, Xu Ye finally decided to buy a necktie as a gift for Chu Yu. He thought that Chu Yu was not short of money and had seen plenty of luxurious and extravagant things. Instead of spending money on something flashy but impractical, he chose to give something more useful. Besides, Xu Ye couldn’t help but imagine how Chu Yu would look wearing the necktie he picked out, which made him blush. He selected a few ties that caught his eye, comparing them before ultimately choosing a handmade, deep blue tie with small silver diamond-shaped patterns.

       In the afternoon, Xu Ye had to go to Donglin’s construction site. As the car was driving through the outskirts of the city, he was trying to relax with his eyes closed when suddenly, a sudden brake caused him to bump his head against the front seat headrest, and his vision momentarily blacked out.

       The situation happened so suddenly that before he could react, he heard the Leopard’s urgent roar, “Lock the door and don’t come out!”

       In a daze, Xu Ye saw Leopard rush out of the car and punch a man in black who was approaching, knocking him to the ground. However, two other men in black armed with iron rods soon rushed over. Shocked, he followed Leopard’s instructions and locked the doors, observing the situation outside, a growing sense of dread filling his heart.

       Two vehicles in front blocked their car and surrounded by two more from behind, leaving them with no way out. Dozens of people emerged from these cars, all wielding thick, short iron bars, their faces filled with a menacing demeanour as they encircled the car like a lone boat in a storm.

       Leopard fought against them with his bare hands and knocked down two of them in an instant. The murderous look in his eyes made him look like a real beast, roaring at the approaching enemy, revealing his white fangs. However, it was difficult for two fists to beat four hands, not to mention that these people were all robust fighters. Each of the blows he received broke his skin and made him bleed.

       Several people gathered around and started to smash the car window glass with iron rods. Fortunately, the glass was very thick and could not be broken in a few hits. Those banging sounds made Xu Ye’s heart skip a beat every time. He tried to calm down in the panic, dialled a number with trembling fingers, and was connected almost instantly.

       “Xu Ye.” Chu Yu’s voice came through.

       “We are surrounded. I am in the car, and Leopard is outside the car. He is injured…” Xu Ye huddled in the middle of the back seat, his voice trembling because of panic. “Chu Yu, they are smashing the car.”

       “Don’t be afraid. I know where you are. I will come to you soon; don’t be afraid.” Chu Yu’s voice remained steady and gentle, carrying a reassuring strength. “The car windows are bulletproof, and they won’t break for a while. Calm down and do as I say.”

       Xu Ye took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said, “…Okay.”

       “There is a small electric baton under the car’s back seat. Take it out. If the window shatters, press the red electric shock button to deal with them.” The man was so calm that there were almost no ripples in his voice. “Listen carefully, Xu Ye, all your actions are in self-defence. Act quickly, and don’t show mercy. Do you understand?”

       The sound of slamming the car window and every tremor of the vehicle filled Xu Ye with suffocating fear. He had never experienced anything like this before and was both anxious and terrified. It was not easy to maintain his composure. He glanced at the electric baton in his hand and then at the badly beaten Leopard surrounded by the assailants. Fear welled up in his eyes, making them moist. “If this continues, Leopard will be beaten to death by them… The glass seems to be about to shatter…”

       “Do as I say and protect yourself.” The man tried his best to comfort him, “Just hold on a little longer; I’ll be there soon.” The man’s voice on the phone was calm and gentle, but Chu Yu, who was sitting in the car, had eyes as cold as ice. It was extremely cold as if they were filled with a raging blizzard that wanted to devour everything. A strong and chilling sense of oppression filled the long car cabin, making people suffocate as if their throats were strangled. It made Tang Can and Jian Haoping, who were making arrangements in the car, feel chilled all over.

       The second young master was angry.

       They exchanged a glance, and in each other’s eyes, they saw tension and pressure. Publicly, they held positions as executives in the Market Department of the Golden Eagle Group, but in secret, they were high-ranking cadres of the Black Eagle Organization, responsible for personnel deployment and management. The Black Eagle Organization had never disbanded; it had always been there. Just like the interplay of golden light and black shadows, the members with dual identities seamlessly transitioned between the two worlds, guiding the eagle as it soared through the skies.

       When Leopard’s first-level emergency alert was received, Chu Yu was holding a regular meeting of high-level cadres. For a moment, the huge conference room almost froze. The Second Young Master said nothing, glanced at everyone in the conference room with his cold gaze, and then walked out quickly. At that moment, these fearless cadres felt like they had been skinned alive.

       They all knew who Leopard was protecting.

       Within half a minute, an emergency order to assemble manpower was issued, and all second-level and above Black Eagle members in K City and Donglin were notified to rush to the incident scene for reinforcements.

       The long S5501Mercedes S550 was speeding along the road, followed by more and more vehicles. They quickly passed the red lights in front of them like a fearless school of fish rushing in the same direction.

       Tang Can, and Jian Haoping’s minds were in a mess as they listened to the conversation between their Second Young Master and that man. The Second Young Master’s men were attacked under their noses, but they had yet to find out the other party’s identity, didn’t know their motives or reasons, and had received no prior warning or information. Their anxiety grew with each passing moment.

       Simply incompetent.

       This would be more humiliating than giving each of them a slap in the face.

       Their anxiety was in sharp contrast to Chu Yu’s calmness. However, they both know better than anyone else that the calmer the young master was, the more terrible the consequences would be.

       Chu Yu’s grip on the phone tightened. The trembling voice on the other end of the phone transmitted Xu Ye’s fear, panic, helplessness, and forced composure. Every emotion tugged his heart, making him feel distressed and guilty.

       He was too careless. His long life of ease and overconfidence in his prestige prevented him from even considering that a situation like this would arise. Leopard was the only one besides Xu Ye, and he was not equipped with any effective weapons at all. Under siege by many people, the worst result would be…

       His heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment, and Chu Yu closed his eyes.

       Because of his own negligence, he had put the person who should have been properly protected in danger.

       It was his fault.

 

       Under the heavy impact of the steel pipe, the glass had cracked into a spiderweb-like shape. Leopard knocked down five people and was beaten until he was covered in blood. He leaned against the car door, blocking the broken window with his body, trying his best to keep those people away. His left hand was obviously broken, but he didn’t even grunt when the iron rod hit his body.

       Xu Ye’s eyes turned red when he saw him risking his life to protect him. He tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart and asked on his mobile phone, “How long will it take?”

       “Three minutes.” Chu Yu replied.

       “Three minutes…” he repeated unconsciously, his eyes falling on Leopard outside the car who was desperately protecting him, and he tightened his grip on the electric baton, trembling with every word he spoke, “Chu Yu, they’re after me, and I can’t just stand by and watch Leopard get killed.”

       The Second Young Master, who had always maintained his composure, suddenly changed his expression and suddenly raised his voice, “Xu Ye! Don’t go out! Stay in the car, and don’t move!”

       Tang Can and Jian Haoping were also surprised.

       They heard a muffled sound from the other end of the phone, followed by shouts of “He’s out, catch him!”

       “Xu Ye!” At that moment, Chu Yu felt like someone had a grip on his throat, leaving him gasping for breath with a sense of suffocation.

       There was no response, just a loud, vague noise.

       The finger bones of the man’s left hand holding the phone turned white, and his voice turned icy and ominous, “You must get there within one minute.”

 

       Xu Ye knew in his heart that these people were coming for him, and Leopard was almost dying. As long as he came out, he would be able to lure them away.

       He gritted his teeth and forcefully kicked open one of the car doors, knocking over the people who were blocking it. Although he had no fighting experience, his physical fitness was not bad, and his movements were quite agile. He used the electric baton to stun two people who approached him and then turned to sprint away. His intention was to lead them in pursuit to buy some time, but to his surprise, he received a harsh blow from behind, causing him to stumble, and he soon found himself surrounded by those people.

       The group of people were afraid of the electric baton in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, they all pounced on him. Xu Ye had no way of guarding against so many people. In the chaos, the electric baton was snatched from his hand, and his body was pushed to the ground and beaten several times.

       “Beat him to death!” Someone shouted those words, though it was unclear who.

       Xu Ye felt a stick hit his head. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground, exhausted. In the blur, he saw Leopard rushing towards them, knocking them away and protecting him with his body.

       All his senses became dull, and his vision went black for a while. A warm and sticky liquid flowed from the forehead to the eyelids, dyeing everything red.

       Chu Yu, if you don’t come here, I will die…

       Such thoughts popped into his confused mind.

       The roar of the car engine comes from far to near.

       Two gunshots rang through the air.

       Screams rang out, and countless messy footsteps approached.

       Then, all was quiet.

       There was a light movement on his body, and the man who was protecting him with his body was moved away. Xu Ye, in his dazed state, clung tightly to Leopard’s clothing, refusing to let go stubbornly. This was the person who had wholeheartedly protected him in times of danger, his sole reliance when he was left with no one else.

       “Xu Ye, it’s me.” A low and familiar voice lingered in his ears from far to near.

       He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were stuck with blood, and there was only a hazy red colour, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Yet that voice was one he was familiar with and attached to. “…Chu Yu?” His voice trembled, and he uncertainly reached out to touch the person’s face.

       “It’s me, I’m here.” His hand was held, and the man comforted him softly, “It’s okay, you’re safe.”

       “Chu Yu…” The panic and helplessness were finally released at this moment. He called out his name tremblingly, “Save Leopard…he…” After being struck with the rods, he showed clear signs of a concussion, and his speech became laboured and intermittent.

       “Don’t worry, a doctor is looking after him.” Chu Yu looked at Xu Ye, whose face was half stained with blood, and felt as if his heart had been pierced by a knife. Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Black Eagle members who rushed over, he held the man in his arms as patiently and tenderly as he would caressing a lost animal. Xu Ye, who was placed on the mobile stretcher, reached out and grabbed his sleeves, with panic in his eyes, “Chu Yu…”

       The strong attachment that appeared after being frightened came from a sense of insecurity. The man looked at him, feeling even more guilty. He held his hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here, and I’ll stay with you. Don’t think about anything else; just have a good rest.”

       Xu Ye’s chest rose and fell irregularly as he gasped for breath a few times, and then he weakly closed his eyes. Doctors and nurses immediately approached, placing an oxygen mask on him and lifting him onto an ambulance to attend to his injuries. Chu Yu never let go of his hand, and just before getting into the ambulance, he uttered only some icy and bone-chilling words.

       “Block the news. None of these people are allowed to die before I give my permission.”

       By the time the police car arrived, the scene had been thoroughly cleaned. Jian Haoping brought everything to an end with an understatement of ‘traffic accident’. With so many personnel gathered, the abrupt gunfire, and the lingering bloodstains on the ground, it didn’t look like a traffic accident by any means. However, the other party’s identity was clear, and after so many years of cooperative development, the police knew when to turn a blind eye.

       The eighteen people who attacked Xu Ye were all detained by the Black Eagle Organization. The command of ‘no death’ was sometimes much crueller than ‘kill them’. These eighteen thugs experienced this firsthand in the underground torture chamber of the Black Eagle Organization.

       The head of the torture chamber, Tang Chan, personally participated in the interrogation.

       Ignorance is bliss, and asking questions sometimes brings shocking revelations. When Tang Can emerged from the underground interrogation room, his face was as grim as it could be. He stood in the dimly lit corridor, lit a cigarette, and smoked it in silence, and only then did he start making his way upstairs.

       The eighth team, fifth-level low-level members.

       These guys were actually Black Eagle’s own people.

       In the VIP ward of the hospital, Chu Yu, who was by the bedside, was silent for a while after listening to Tang Can’s briefing.

       The leopard was sent directly to the operating room and had not come out yet. He suffered multiple fractures and ruptured internal organs, and his life was hanging on by a thread. If it weren’t for him stepping in to protect at a critical moment, they were afraid the person being rescued right now would be…

       Chu Yu looked at Xu Ye, who fell asleep under the influence of the medicine. His head was wrapped in gauze, and the wound on his forehead required six stitches. The concussion caused by the heavy blow made him groggy, and he vomited several times. There were six or seven skin injuries on his body, but fortunately, none of them hurt his internal organs. At this moment, he was sleeping peacefully. The blood on his face had been wiped clean, and his face looked a little weak and pale. He seemed still uneasy in his dream, and his brows were slightly frowned.

       The man walked to the window and said in a calm and cold tone, “Bring Song Yueran here.”

Chapter 57

       Regarding the matter of staying overnight, Shen Huiming specifically asked for Suo Yang’s opinion. He was worried that Suo Yang might feel uncomfortable staying here.

       However, Suo Yang agreed nonetheless, even though it would indeed be a bit awkward. But he understood that Shen Huiming’s parents meant well; it was snowing heavily outside. It would be quite troublesome for them to return so late at night.

       Shen Huiming squeezed Suo Yang’s leg and said to him softly, “Thank you.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “For what?”

       Shen Huiming shook his head with a smile, then set down the water glass and led Suo Yang into the bedroom to change clothes.

       This bedroom was the one Shen Huiming used to live in before he moved out. He had moved when he was in his third year of high school, and now it had been over ten years. It could be said that Shen Huiming’s youthful memories had left their traces here.

       Two sets of dark blue striped pyjamas were neatly laid out on the bed, which they noticed as soon as they entered.

       The two of them changed their clothes in the bedroom, and after changing, Suo Yang looked at the certificates on the wall and smiled.

       “They’ve all faded,” Shen Huiming sat beside him. “It’s been a long time.”

       The wall was half-covered with awards that Shen Huiming had received during his school days. On the bookshelf, there was a section filled with red award certificates. Suo Yang could even imagine how much Shen Huiming had been favoured in school back then.

       He looks handsome and excels in his studies, the typical ‘kid from someone else’s family1this refers to the kid the parents would always compare their children with, typically because this kid is better than theirs’.

       Suo Yang said, “Auntie must be very proud of you.”

       After all these years, these certificates and awards were still well-preserved, not a speck of dust even in the corners of the bookshelf.

       He suddenly thought of his own room, the small bedroom in the old house in his hometown. He wondered if anyone had entered it again after he left.

       “How should I put it…” Shen Huiming sat on the edge of the bed with Suo Yang, looking up at the awards posted on the wall. “Back then, I didn’t understand many things, didn’t think too much about it. I just knew that my parents were happy when they saw me come home with awards, and I wanted to make them happy. So, I worked hard to do better and win more awards. I thought that’s what they wanted, a sense of family pride, and I felt obligated to uphold it.”

       Suo Yang turned to look at him.

       “But as I grew up, I realized that what they truly wanted wasn’t just a stack of certificates and awards. ‘Family pride’ didn’t need to be maintained in this way,” Shen Huiming said. “As parents, what they most want to see is their child living well. Not in terms of how much money they earn, how many possessions they acquire, or how much fame and fortune they gain, but in terms of living the life they truly want, being with the person they genuinely love.”

       Suo Yang listened to Shen Huiming’s words and looked down at his hands resting on his knees.

       Shen Huiming stretched out his hand and put his warm palm on the back of Suo Yang’s cool hand.

       “All parents are actually the same; it’s just that some of them need time to admit it,” Shen Huiming said. “Let’s go have dinner; my dad is waiting to have a drink with us.”

       Suo Yang knew he was comforting him, so he reached out and shook his hand, smiling as he stood up.

       “Let’s go, don’t make Uncle wait too long.”

====

       Having dinner with Shen Huiming’s family initially made Suo Yang very nervous. However, once he immersed himself in the scene, it seemed like all the pressure dissipated along with the steam rising from the hotpot.

       The four of them sat around the dining table in the cosy warmth of their home, all wearing pyjamas and relaxing their nerves.

       This was their second meeting, and this time, there wasn’t the same cautiousness during their conversations. They ate more meat some vegetables, and had another glass of wine.

       Suo Yang’s face quickly turned red, and he couldn’t quite tell if it was because of the heat, the alcohol, or maybe because Shen Huiming’s parents were so easygoing that it made him a bit shy. 

       The more time he spent with Shen Huiming’s family, the more he loved Shen Huiming.

       A man who grew up in such a family atmosphere will always be kind and gentle in the deepest part of his heart.

       Halfway through drinking, the topic turned to Suo Yang’s parents.

       This time, Suo Yang didn’t evade the topic; he answered Shen Huiming’s mother’s questions before Shen Huiming could change the subject.

       “My parents still don’t know that I’m together with Huiming,” Suo Yang said, gripping his chopsticks a little harder, trying to speak in a more relaxed tone. “I came out to my family a few years ago, but it didn’t go well. I didn’t handle it properly, so we didn’t have contact for several years.”

       His words made everyone quiet for a few seconds, and it was Shen Huiming’s father who broke the silence first.

       He said, “It’s not easy for the parents to accept when they are suddenly told about this. It took me and Auntie a long time to process it.”

       Speaking of this, Shen Huiming actually felt uncomfortable. He knew that his parents had put in much more effort than he had when it came to dealing with this matter.

       He considered himself lucky to have parents like them. Whenever something happened, they never blamed their child first; instead, they reflected on themselves first.

       Even now, Shen Huiming remembered the day he came out to his parents. His mother was silent for a long time, and the first thing she said to him afterwards was, “I’m sorry, it’s been so long, and my mother didn’t notice it at all.”

       At that time, his mother had asked him if hiding the secret for so many years had been painful, if he had been sad, and if he had felt conflicted. Shen Huiming, who rarely cried, had held his mother and cried loudly that day.

       After that, he was liberated, but his parents had been caught in a difficult, sad, and conflicted situation. To avoid burdening their son, they even sought psychological counselling.

       Parents like them were truly irreplaceable and hard to come by.

       “You’ve all been through a lot, but it’s not easy for your parents too.” Shen Huiming’s father said, “Giving each other some time to cool down is good, but those emotional knots must be untangled sooner or later. Most importantly, don’t leave room for regrets.”

       Suo Yang understood what he meant and held back tears as he said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

       Shen Huiming’s mother took over and said, “Xiao Suo, if you want to come home, just come back with Huiming. Don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything we can help with.”

       Suo Yang felt that he was unworthy to receive such tenderness.

       But because it was too rare and precious, he couldn’t refuse it.

       He thought, ‘Let me be selfish this once. I know I don’t deserve it, but I’ll accept all this kindness.’

       Once these topics were over, the atmosphere became light-hearted again.

       Shen Huiming’s parents shared stories about Shen Huiming’s childhood, and his mom even mentioned, “I once went to have Huiming’s fortune told to find out when he could get married. The fortune teller at the time told me in a roundabout way that he might not get married in this life. I was so angry back then, thinking the fortune teller was a scam artist. But not long after, maybe six months later, Huiming told me he liked men. Well, the fortune teller was right!”

       Suo Yang smiled and listened with delight.

       Shen Huiming said helplessly, “Mom, how come I didn’t know about this?”

       “Then can I let you know? There are many things you don’t know. What would happen if you knew them all?” Shen Huiming’s mom continued, “Later, I went to look for that fortune teller to apologize. After all, he had been quite accurate. But it turned out the fortune teller had retired and gone into seclusion in the mountains.”

       “It would have been nice to know about this earlier,” Shen Huiming joked, “He should have told me when I would strike gold in my business.”

       His words made everyone laugh.

       Because they didn’t plan to leave at night, Suo Yang and Shen Huiming accompanied their parents to drink openly. At the end of the night, Shen Huiming’s mother called a halt, urging everyone to go to wash up and go to bed.

       Shen Huiming’s parents went to wash up first, leaving the two young men behind to tidy up.

       Once everything was cleaned up, Shen Huiming said, “I still smell like hotpot.”

       “Go take a shower first.” Suo Yang said, “I’ll wait for you.”

       “No, let’s go together,” Shen Huiming teased with a smile.

       Suo Yangming knew it was a joke, but his ears were still red.

       It was not that the two of them hadn’t washed together, but after all, they were currently at Shen Huiming’s parents’ home, so they couldn’t be too bold.

       Seeing that he was embarrassed, Shen Huiming put his arm around his shoulder and smiled, “Just kidding, you go first. I’ll talk to my mother for a while.”

       Suo Yang nodded and went to take a shower.

       Shen Huiming, who smelled like hot pot, went to chat with his mother, and the topic naturally revolved around Suo Yang.

       Suo Yang came out soon after washing. When he saw those two people on the balcony, he hesitated whether to call Shen Huiming or not.

       Fortunately, Shen Huiming saw him before he made a sound.

       “Done showering?”

       Suo Yang nodded and then greeted Shen Huiming’s mother politely.

       “Alright, I’ll go wash up now,” Shen Huiming said as he walked over, giving Suo Yang’s shoulder a light pat, “Would you like to chat with my mom for a while?”

       “Me?” Suo Yang was a little surprised.

       “Yeah, go ahead.”

       Shen Huiming went into the bathroom, leaving Suo Yang and his mother in the living room.

       Suo Yang walked over and took a shawl from the sofa, offering it to Shen Huiming’s mom, “Auntie, it’s cold on the balcony.”

       Shen Huiming’s mom smiled and wrapped herself in the shawl, saying, “You’re such a considerate child.”

       Suo Yang couldn’t quite tell whether he was a considerate person or not. From a young age, he had worked hard to be an obedient and considerate child. However, on the day he left home, his mom’s final words to him were, “Why are you so inconsiderate?”

       “I chatted with Huiming just now.” Shen Huiming’s mother looked out of the window. In the middle of the night, the snow fell even harder. “He said that tomorrow is your birthday.”

       “Yes, the last day of the year.”

       “It’s your birthday, and you’re a year older.” Shen Huiming’s mother looked at him with a smile, “Auntie just found out about this, and I didn’t even have time to prepare a gift for you.”

       “Please, no need for the trouble. It’s already my honour to spend today with Huiming.”

       “You see, you won’t let me be troubled, but you’re still so polite when talking to me.” She smiled at Suo Yang. “Uncle and I were introduced by colleagues at work at that time. We met, got to know each other a bit, and then decided to start a relationship leading to marriage. Back then, we didn’t have a grand love story. It developed as we spent more time together. For a lasting relationship, there are many factors to consider. Your lives are probably more challenging than we can imagine, but Uncle and I both believe that your choices have been well thought out. Neither of you is the type to make impulsive decisions.”

       Suo Yang nodded, “Yes Auntie, we take our relationship seriously. We understand that matters of the heart are not to be taken lightly.”

       “Yes, I believe in both of you. In the future, if you face any difficulties or troubles in life or work, come and talk to us. This place is your home too.”

Chapter 43 – Drunk

      After signing the contract and walking out of Golden Eagle’s building, several project department members instantly got excited as if they had won a jackpot. They lost all their pretence of being reserved and surrounded Xu Ye to ask questions in a variety of ways.

      “I heard that Second Young Master Chu is very picky. But this time, he actually praised our design so favourably, it’s simply too surprising!”

      “Wanhua’s design is definitely not as good as ours.”

      “That’s right, with Golden Eagle investment, I feel more confident.”

      “Mr. Xu, you don’t know. Zhou Wei just said that he planned to sacrifice her looks to seduce General Manager Chu, hahahaha…”

      “Damn it! I was joking!”

      “Aren’t you the one who keeps saying how handsome you are with your eyes straight?”

      “Where is our General Manager Xu?” The female staff member named Zhou Wei turned to him, “By the way, what on earth did Mr. Xu convince him to do?”

      The corner of Xu Ye’s mouth twitched. The feeling of having been penetrated still lingered, and his waist was also sore. This ‘persuasion’ method made him blush when he thought about it, so he changed the subject and said, “Everyone has been working hard lately. Since the contract is signed, let’s celebrate together tonight. My treat.”

      This time, it was a complete explosion, and they all proposed to eat expensive and good food until Mr. Xu’s wallet was empty.

      Xu Ye was also very happy and simply let them make trouble. After drinking some wine during dinner, he planned to leave first but was held back by the group, so he had to follow them to the bar to continue celebrating.

      Zhou Wei, the deputy project manager, was twenty-nine years old. She had been with the White Crane group for three years and had always admired this young master. It was a rare opportunity to be so close to him this time, so she pretended to be drunk and leaned softly on his shoulder. Xu Ye was startled and reached out to help her, but she hooked her arm very naturally. The woman’s long chestnut hair hung on her shoulders, and her every breath was filled with a warm and soft fragrance.

      “Zhou Wei?” He shook her gently. She let out a vague hum and moved her whole body closer to him.

      The rest of the staff were already drunk and staggering around. Young Master Xu, known for his gentlemanly demeanour, would surely personally escort her home. He also drank a lot. If she took the initiative tonight, they might be able to spend a passionate night together. With such thoughts in mind, Zhou Wei was still unwilling to wake up, so she just hugged Xu Ye and pretended to be drunk.

      In the end, after a phone call, it was his secretary Lily who got into the taxi home with her.

      “Okay, stop pretending.” Lily, who was called out temporarily to give him away, sneered with a dark look on her face, “This trick of yours won’t work on him.”

      Zhou Wei was so angry that she turned to look out the window and said, “Mind your own business.”

      Lily sneered and said, “He already has someone in mind. I advise you not to make any trouble.”

      “Who is it?” Zhou Wei’s eyes widened.

      “It’s not you anyway.” Lily glanced at her and said nothing. She knew exactly what to say and what not to say.

      After sending these worried subordinates home, Xu Ye, who came out of the bar, stood on the side of the road and folded his collar. His eyes fell on the black Mercedes parked opposite, and he smiled widely.

      The man had come to pick him up personally.

      After opening the car door and getting in, Chu Yu, in the back seat, turned to look at him.  Xu Ye, who had been drinking, had a vague smile on his face. He hugged the man, rubbed his head against his chest, and said in a daze, “I drank too much.”

      Such a reaction amused Chu Yu, and he asked, “So?”

      “Well…” He tilted his head and thought seriously, then narrowed his eyes and said, “Tonight, you belong to this great me.”

      “Oh?” The man’s thin lips formed a nice curve, “So, what are you going to do to me?”

      Xu Ye grinned, stretched out his fingers to pull at the other person’s clothes buttons, and said, “As long as you are good, this great me will take good care of you tonight.” He had a domineering look on his face.

      Chu Yu chuckled softly and said to the driver, xiao Ou, who was stunned by the conversation, “Drive the car to the river.” Xiao Ou was sharp, so he naturally knew what the second young master wanted to do. He drove the car to a secluded spot by the riverside and discreetly left the vehicle to give them some privacy.

      Xu Ye fumbled for a long time without unbuttoning a single button of his shirt. With a look of displeasure on his face, he tugged hard and pulled the shirt open, causing the buttons to fall off. Chu Yu didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. He lay down on the spacious back seat and let him make a mess of it. He even took the initiative to lie down, looking indulgent.

      “You are mine.” On the moonless night, Xu Ye’s eyes looked like magnificent black pearls. He leaned down and kissed the man beneath him, lingeringly and passionately. He kissed until he was almost out of breath before breaking apart. He lowered his head and licked the nipples of the other person’s chest, imitating what Chu Yu had done to him, leaving his own mark on the man’s tight body little by little. Like a gluttonous puppy, he went all the way down, unhooked the man’s belt, took off the inner and outer layers of pants, and kissed all the way to the lush jungle between the other person’s legs. Then he raised his head, showing a confused expression.

      “Have you forgotten what to do next?” Chu Yu stroked his head, straightened his lower body slightly and said, “I’ll teach you. Open your mouth and take it.”

      Xu Ye followed his instructions almost instinctively, taking the slightly ferocious and huge c0ck into his mouth and carefully pleasuring it. After taking it for a while, he realised something was wrong and ducked away angrily, saying, “Not this!”

      The man smiled and sat up, holding him on his lap face to face, binding his hands with a belt, then rummaged for a bottle of lubricant, squeezed it on his fingertips, and inserted it into the small opening that had been warmed at noon. The remaining consciousness in Xu Ye’s head knew what would happen next. He twisted and struggled restlessly, “I want to be on top…”

      “Aren’t you on top now?” The smile in Chu Yu’s eyes was full of danger.

      “No, ngh…” Xu Ye looked aggrieved, like a child who had been robbed of candy.

      “What’s wrong?” After the expansion was completed, the man picked him up and pressed the top of his c0ck against the hole between the two buttocks. Then he relaxed his strength little by little and let him sit down slowly with his weight.

      “Aahh—it hurts…” When the whole thing was inserted, the body’s weight made the giant thing penetrate deeper, and the hole was stretched to the limit. Xu Ye gasped, leaned into Chu Yu’s arms, and sobbed, “It’s uncomfortable… I don’t want this… I want to be on top…”

      “Be good. You’ll be fine in a moment.” The man stroked his back and kissed his lips, suppressing the surging pleasure and waiting for him to adapt.

      Everything happened naturally. Xu Ye’s waist was tightly controlled by strong hands. He was moved up and down, again and again. He was forced to taste the hot and solid iron c0ck with his small mouth below. They had already had a round of sex at noon, and now he was weak and had no strength, so he could only let the man invade him as he wished. After that, he completely sobered up and cried for mercy, “Master… it’s going to break, wooo… I don’t want it anymore… I can suck it in my mouth for you… please… ahh…”

      There were many ways to play in a small space. Xu Ye was forced to change several positions to withstand the man’s fierce attack. When the man’s hot essence shot into his body again, Xu Ye, who had climaxed at the same time, lay helpless on Chu On Yu’s body, his long eyelashes were half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep. Chu Yu caressed the back of his neck, kissed his tears away, licked his lips like a satiated cat, and said dotingly, “I am yours.”

      The result of provoking Second Young Master Chu was spending the entire morning in bed. Thinking of the ambiguous car sex last night, Xu Ye was so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. He had just had sex at noon and then went to the car to ask for sex at night. This was just…hurting his brain.

      He went downstairs holding his waist and saw the man sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was shocked, “…Why are you here?”

      Chu Yu put down the presentation in his hand and asked in return, “Is it strange for me to be in my own home?”

      “I thought you went to work.” He explained as he blushed, “I really drank too much last night…”

      “Are you using such excuses to intend on abandoning me after starting this?” The man looked at him with a smile, “Last night, you told me in my ears that I was yours.”

      “…” Xu Ye was confused. What did he do yesterday?!

      “Come here.” The man asked him to lie on his lap and gently rubbed his waist. “Your stamina is too low. From now on, swim two evenings a week. That way, when I hold you, both of us can enjoy it more.”

      Xu Ye nodded with a blushing face.

Chapter 56

       In fairy tales, Cupid was known as the most mysterious symbol of love. This little god of love, who was naked and carried a bow and arrow, was fond of playing games with people blindfolded. Not to mention ordinary people, even the gods themselves couldn’t escape their mischievous pranks. When their golden arrow struck a person’s heart, love was illuminated from that moment on.

       Suo Yang had always felt that he seemed to be doing well. As long as he had time, he would accompany Shen Huiming to take care of the man who had been so busy lately that he hadn’t even had time to cut his hair.

       He learned how to make soup and learned to wait for someone to come home late at night.

       He began to adapt to the presence of another person in his life and put the other person in a very important position.

       He would not deliberately try to please him but would subconsciously hope that the other party would have an easier life.

       That was probably how loving someone was—always hoping that the other person was happy because of you.

       It was finding joy in the presence of oneself, not just for the sake of being happy alone.

       When Suo Yang and Shen Huiming were lying side by side on the bed, their fingers were hooked by each other. They swore like they did when they were children, but they didn’t know what they swore to each other.

       As New Year’s Eve approached, Shen Huiming took some time out of his busy schedule to plan this matter but suddenly remembered that he didn’t know whether Suo Yang would be available at that time.

       “Do you already know the New Year’s Eve flight arrangements?” Shen Huiming turned sideways and looked at Suo Yang who was lying flat there.

       Suo Yang turned to look at him, “Do we have arrangements?”

       “Even though we’re adults now, we should live a little more down-to-earth,” Shen Huiming smiled and said, “But after all, it’s the first New Year’s Eve we’ve spent together and also your first birthday since we got together.”

       Suo Yang’s birthday was the last day of the year, December 31st.

       He didn’t mention this to Shen Huiming, but the two of them never hid anything from each other, such information could be easily known.

       But Suo Yang was still very happy that Shen Huiming could keep it in mind.

       “Are you going to celebrate my birthday?” Suo Yang hardly ever celebrated his birthday properly.

       Since he was a child, the atmosphere in his family has always been very serious. Although the family members were not indifferent to each other, whether it was between his parents or between him and his parents, it had always felt more like respect than love. His parents showed mutual respect, and he had always looked up to and respected them. They wouldn’t make plans to travel together, wouldn’t celebrate each other’s birthdays, and even on New Year’s Eve, they would strictly follow the routine—watching the New Year’s Gala, eating dumplings, and turning off the lights to sleep after midnight.

       This also led to Suo Yang not even having the concept of celebrating birthdays before he went to college. The first time he celebrated a birthday decently was when he was a freshman, and several roommates in the same dormitory bought him a cake together.

       After work, every year on his birthday, the company would send various benefits to him, but Suo Yang still rarely celebrated. Firstly, he had no time, and secondly, he thought it was unnecessary.

       It wasn’t necessary before, but now it is.

       After starting their relationship, it seemed like every day was lived quite differently from before, and they began to look forward to every special day, whether it was a holiday or an anniversary.

       People in relationships always try to make every day intensely romantic, and holidays or anniversaries are even more of an excuse for them to be reasonably romantic.

       “Of course.” Shen Huiming said, “But everything depends on your arrangement. If you have flight arrangements, we’ll spend it on the plane. If not, we’ll follow my plan.”

       Suo Yang also turned to the side and rested his head on Shen Huiming’s chest.

       Winter had already arrived, and the heating was on at home, but the warmest place was still in Shen Huiming’s embrace.

       “Okay,” Suo Yang said, “Go arrange it, I will like everything you arrange.”

======

       Suo Yang originally had a flight scheduled for the 31st but switched shifts with a colleague to free up time.

       He started his break on the 30th, took a good sleep at home, and then in the evening, he made plans to meet up with Shen Huiming to have dinner with Shen Huiming’s parents.

       Since the last time they met, Shen Huiming’s parents had been thinking about inviting them home for a meal. Although they had a good meal outside, after all, it was a sudden encounter that day, and there were some things uncomfortable to be talked about outside.

       Being at their own home was so much better; they could relax, sit together like a family, enjoy hot pot, and have a drink, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere.

       Suo Yang went to get a haircut, specifically to meet Shen Huiming’s parents, and before setting off to find Shen Huiming, he stood in front of the mirror and changed into several outfits.

       He was not this nervous when he went out with Shen Huiming.

       Although Suo Yang always behaved with ease at work, he still felt a little at a loss when facing his lover’s parents or any elder who was important to Shen Huiming. It was because he knew very well that in such situations, he couldn’t rely on his work skills, and yet, he wasn’t sure how to interact with them without those familiar working skills routines.

       At 6:30 in the evening, Shen Huiming got off work on time.

       When he walked out of the office building, he found that it was snowing outside. He couldn’t recall if this was the first or how many snowfalls they’d had this winter, but it was the first time he and Suo Yang had walked together in the snow.

       “Why don’t you go up?” Shen Huiming walked towards the man standing on the side of the road.

       Suo Yang turned around and looked at him with a smile, “It’s snowing, and it’s quite pretty outside.”

       Because he wanted to drink at night, Suo Yang didn’t drive over, and Shen Huiming’s car simply parked in the parking lot downstairs of the company. He took a taxi directly to have dinner with his parents.

       It was snowing, and the roads were slippery, and it was the evening rush hour. They were stuck in traffic jams for a long time. Originally, they could get there in about 40 minutes, but it turned out that they drove for almost an hour and a half.

       During this time, Shen Huiming’s mother called, thinking that the two of them might have been too busy and forgotten about their dinner plans.

       “Who could forget when there’s good food involved?” Shen Huiming said. “It’s been a while since the two of us had hot pot.”

       Shen Huiming’s mother was happy to hear that and told them to stay safe and not to rush.

       It was useless to be anxious about the traffic jam. Fortunately, they managed to arrive before eight o’clock.

       The two stepped on the snow and walked into the neighbourhood, leaving two strings of footprints side by side on the soft snow.

       It wasn’t very cold on the snowy day, but the snow was falling heavily. They hadn’t walked far before they were covered in snow on their heads and shoulders.

       After entering the corridor, Shen Huiming raised his hand to help Suo Yang sweep the snow off his body, Suo Yang said, “Huiming, I’m still a little nervous.”

       Shen Huiming looked up at him, smiled, and then went to hug him and kiss him.

       “Now? Are you still nervous?”

       Suo Yang smiled softly, “I’m even more nervous.”

       The two stood in the corridor looking at each other like two silly boys looking at each other and smiling.

       “Let me tell you something; after I tell you, you might not be so nervous,” Shen Huiming said. “Last time, after my parents met you, they called me and talked about it.”

       Suo Yang was a little surprised, “Huh?”

       Shen Huiming originally wanted to tell Suo Yang about the phone call, and he even thought of how to complain about his parents because it was too funny.

       However, Suo Yang had gone out for work at that time, and when he returned, it was already two days later. Shen Huiming had completely forgotten about it.

       “What did Auntie say?” Suo Yang’s heart was in his throat.

       “She asked me how she had behaved.” Shen Huiming tried not to laugh. He found that his parents and his lover were very funny. Everyone wanted to make a good impression on each other, but they were all nervous and jumpy.

       Suo Yang was a little surprised.

       “I forgot to tell you before, my mother is the head nurse of the hospital. Although it’s embarrassing to praise her so much like this as a son, she is indeed the kind of outstanding female representative who is very capable of working and getting along with others.” Shen Huiming smiled, “But don’t be fooled by how confident she seems on the outside; deep down, she’s still a shy girl.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “Auntie is very cute.”

       “Yes, she is very cute, but also very fragile and sensitive,” Shen Huiming couldn’t help laughing, “I have been single for so many years. My mother thinks that it must be because there are too few homosexuals, so it’s not easy to find a partner, and she hopes that I can have a stable partner, but as you know, my parents are both looking forward to and worried about it.”

       Suo Yang nodded.

       “So when they saw you, my parents were actually relieved and felt that you had completely exceeded their expectations.”

       With that being said, Suo Yang was a little embarrassed. He felt that he was really not that good.

       If there was anything to praise about him as Shen Huiming’s partner, the only thing was that he genuinely loved Shen Huiming.

       “On the day we met, my parents were quite cautious around you too. They were afraid that they might not make a good impression and scare you away.”

       Shen Huiming couldn’t help it anymore and laughed, “Why are you both so nervous? You won’t be scared away, and they won’t dislike you.”

       After Shen Huiming finished speaking, he took Suo Yang’s hand, “Let’s go. When we meet them later, be affectionate, you can call them ‘Mom and Dad’ too.”

       Suo Yang was led into the elevator by Shen Huiming. He looked at him and then clasped his fingers tightly.

       Suo Yang had always been unsure how to define his own life. All labels are nothing more than ordinary, commonplace, and unremarkable in the end.

       But since he met Shen Huiming, he found that he finally understood that he was favoured by fate.

       When one encounters such a partner and such a family, what more could one wish for in a spouse?

       They rang the doorbell, and Shen Huiming’s father came to open the door.

       Suo Yang opened his mouth and hesitated for a while. In the end, he didn’t have the nerve to really call him ‘Dad’.

       “Hello, Uncle.” Suo Yang handed over the wine in his hand, “Huiming said you like to drink this.”

       Shen Huiming’s mother heard the sound and ran over from the dining room with an apron still on her body.

       Unlike the last time they met, this time Shen Huiming’s parents were dressed comfortably at home, and the whole atmosphere was very relaxing.

       “Come in,” Shen Huiming’s mother beckoned them to enter the door, “Is it cold outside?”

       She stood there, reaching out to take the coats that the two children had just removed.

       “I’ll take it, I’ll take it.” Shen Huiming didn’t let his mother take it. He hugged his and Suo Yang’s coats and hung them on the hanger at the door.

       “It’s not cold,” Shen Huiming said, “but it’s snowing heavily; I think it will get colder tomorrow,” Shen Huiming suggested.”

       Suo Yang followed Shen Huiming into the house. The heating here seemed to be better than the one where they lived, and the house was extremely warm.

       “Just now, your dad was saying that since you arrived late, you shouldn’t leave tonight. Stay the night and go back tomorrow during the day,” Shen Huiming’s mother asked Suo Yang, “Xiao Suo, do you have to work tomorrow?”

       Suo Yang answered diligently, “I’m off for the next few days.”

       Shen Huiming took his hand and sat down on the sofa. Each of them held a glass of warm water and took a few sips.

       Shen Huiming’s father went to the kitchen and took all the prepared dishes to the dining room.

       Suo Yang wanted to help but was stopped by Shen Huiming’s mother.

       “You guys take a rest, warm up a bit, and we’ll get dinner ready.” She got up and walked to the dining room, “It’s warm inside the house. Sweaters are too much. I’ve put two sets of pyjamas in Huiming’s room for you. After you finish your drinks, you can go change into them.”

       She went to work in the dining room, leaving the two children drinking water in the living room.

       Shen Huiming asked in a low voice, “How is it? Do you want to stay?”

       Suo Yang looked at him with a smile, “Yeah, I have no problem with that.”

Chapter 42 – The Office Is Also a Good Place

       Xu Ye had been busy all weekend. He had been working with the company and project department staff to prepare relevant information for the upcoming development project in Donglin. After the cooperation between Xu Ting and Song Wanhua broke down, the two parties went their separate ways and produced their own design plans. The Golden Eagle Group’s stance remained ambiguous, as they had recently reviewed Song Wannian’s proposal and sent an official letter to arrange a meeting with the White Crane Group.

       Xu Ye was always diligent in his work and kept his personal and professional life separate. Although he had a close relationship with Chu Yu, he never considered taking advantage of it. He carefully planned and prepared negotiation materials, maintaining a strictly business-like attitude. Chu Yu appreciated this about him and was looking forward to his proposal, allowing Xu Ye to do what he wanted.

       However, when Xu Ye finally sat down at the negotiation table, he couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous. His gaze met Chu Yu’s, who was sitting across from him. He persisted for a few seconds before losing the battle and avoiding him as if running away.

       This wouldn’t do.

       Xu Ye took a sip of tea to calm his nerves and took a few deep breaths. When he looked up again, he appeared much more composed. The White Crane Group’s design was completely based on Xu Ye’s vision, and every detail was discussed in detail with the design unit. This was his first time planning a resort. Although he was not completely sure that he could impress the other party, he had given it his all.

       In the 35th floor conference room of Golden Eagle Group Headquarters, sunlight poured in through the parallel gaps in the blinds. Xu Ye sat at the table and spoke confidently, appearing calm and collected. He wore a dark suit, and his every gesture reflected his good personal manners. His young and clean-cut face displayed a serious expression, unknowingly capturing the attention of everyone in the room.

       “…The above represents our entire concept for the Donglin Resort project. There may be some immature aspects, and if it doesn’t meet your requirements, we are open to further modifications.” Xu Ye made every effort to appear more professional and composed.

       Golden Eagle’s project specialist asked some questions, and Xu Ye answered them swiftly, clearly well-prepared. Chu Yu said leisurely, “As it stands, your plan is more appealing than Wanhua’s, but the investment required is also substantial. How does White Crane Group plan to secure the necessary funding?”

       “We have partnerships with several banks that are willing to provide loans for this project. Additionally, we have reliable partners on board.”

       “You should understand that if this project fails to make a profit, it will significantly impact White Crane Group.”

       “Yes, that’s why I’m going to make it work,” Xu Ye replied, looking at the other person directly with his black and bright eyes.

       “Your sincerity is commendable.” The man smiled lightly, “But purely in terms of income, the land price offered by Wanhua is five percentage points higher than yours.”

       Xu Ye’s eyebrows skipped a beat, and he pursed his lips and said, “With Golden Eagle’s financial resources, five percentage points are a drop in the ocean. Your company has held onto this land for many years without development; it must not be for money. The location of this land is exceptional, and only a good project can optimize its use. So, I believe haggling over the land price isn’t very meaningful.”

       A hint of amusement flickered in Chu Yu’s eyes, “So, you are not willing to increase the offer?”

       Xu Ye hadn’t expected him to be so persistent and replied, somewhat reluctantly, “On this point, we can discuss it later.”

       “It’s getting late.” Second Young Master Chu glanced at the clock on the wall and ordered, “David, take everyone from White Crane Group to lunch first. We can discuss the specific details later.”

       Xu Ye was just about to stand up when he heard the other party’s invitation, “Mr. Xu, I have some good project plans in my office. Do you want to take a look?”

       Of course he couldn’t refuse Chu Yu’s invitation. So, Xu Ye obediently followed the man into the office on the 40th floor of the building.

       This was his first time coming to the place where Chu Yu works. The entire office was twice the size of his. The white sofa in the reception area was soft, the floor-to-ceiling plants on the side were lush, and various tropical fish of different colours were in the wall-mounted fish tank. Golden Eagle’s headquarters building was located in the prime downtown area, and the bustling city could be seen outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking down from a high place, all living beings seemed as tiny as dust particles.

       “What do you think?” The man asked, standing next to him.

       “It’s a great view.” He looked at the traffic flow below and felt the gaze beside him. He raised his face and met Chu Yu’s ink-coloured eyes. It was like a sea with scattered twinkling stars, deep and vast.

       “Do you know why I asked you to come up?” The man reached out and raised his chin.

       Xu Ye shook his head.

       “Give you a chance to convince me.” Chu Yu’s lips came up and gently crushed his. When Xu Ye opened his mouth to respond, the man invaded inch by inch, entangled the shy soft tongue, and used his breath to mark the other person’s lips and teeth as his territory. Such a deep kiss easily disturbed Xu Ye’s breath. He put his arms around the man’s waist and allowed the other man to press him against the floor-to-ceiling window and enjoy the taste.

       “Master…” Xu Ye felt like he lacked oxygen, and his head was muddled. There was no strength left in his body, and he was helplessly trapped between the man and the floor-to-ceiling window.

       The man leaned over and licked his earlobe, and his fingers neatly unbuttoned his suit and shirt one by one. When the man caressed the small silver-black ring on his chest, Xu Ye trembled slightly and made a sound like a cat meowing. The wound from the piercing had healed, and the tugging of the nipple ring on the sensitive nipple sent tiny electric shocks of stimulation. With Xu Ye’s messy breathing, the buds on his chest became more and more erect. He didn’t dare to grab the hand that was causing trouble on him, so he only gasped and begged for mercy, “Master… uhm…”

       After the top was completely stripped off, the trousers came, and Chu Yu gently peeled off the fabric wrapped around him like opening a beautifully wrapped gift. The naked Xu Ye pressed his back against the cold floor-to-ceiling window, a small shiver running through his body.

       “Cold?” Chu Yu gazed at him with eyes like a tranquil pool and gave a light chuckle, “I’ll warm you up soon…”

       “Hmm…” Xu Ye was trembling slightly as his desire was gradually aroused. He wanted more, but he tried his best to endure it. He looked a bit pitiful.

       “Convince me to give up the five percent. Now is the time with the highest success rate.” The man’s hand passed across his inner thigh, caressing the genitals between Xu Ye’s legs, and deliberately scratched the delicate and sensitive bell at the top with his nails.

       Xu Ye gasped and begged, “Master… I… I can’t do this…”

       “Think it over. After giving up this chance, I won’t give you another one.” Chu Yu buried his head and left a bright red kiss on the edge of Xu Ye’s collarbone. The movements of his hands did not stop, and he continued to constantly tease the poor little brother between Xu Ye’s legs.

       “Uh-hu…” Xu Ye was on the verge of crying but barely managed to find a trace of reason amidst the steaming passion, and said, “As far as I know…ahn, there is a similar type of land south of K City, the transaction price a month ago was 3 million per acre… Ah—” Chu Yu closed his palms and wrapped Xu Ye’s balls in it. He gently closed it, slowly twisted it and then picked it up again, making Xu Ye gasp. It took him a long time to remember the next sentence, “Donglin’s geographical location is a little bit off… ah… the terrain is also more complicated, and some places are difficult to use… ah, Master—” He couldn’t help but cry out as he felt more and more pleasure, The muscles on the inner thighs also tightened.

       Chu Yu let go of the c0ck to collapse between Xu Ye’s legs, pulled one of his legs up, and let him hook it around his waist. His fingers went deep into the crack of his buttocks, teasing the soft entrance to his back hole. “Keep talking, Mr. Xu, I’m listening.”

       “Hmm…” He couldn’t help but moan at the feeling of his tunnel being stretched by his fingers. “The price we gave is reasonable, ahn… Wanhua deliberately raised the price because they were not confident in the design…” He talked about the most serious business in such a s/utty posture. Xu Ye’s body was completely lost under the man’s dominance, and a hazy mist was forced out of his eyes.

       “You’ve even learned to analyze the enemy’s situation. You’ve made progress.” Chu Yu chuckled, “You almost convinced me.”

       The body ignited by lust was coated with a layer of yellow under the sunlight, like a beautiful treasure, with a touching beauty. His white chest rose and fell, and Xu Ye’s eyes were filled with helplessness as his body was completely softened by all the teasing, “Master…”

       “The only thing left is to let Mr. Xu personally satisfy me.” the man’s voice lowered. The man’s lowered voice had a different kind of sensuality in it. He carried Xu Ye from the window to the spacious desk, then grabbed Xu Ye’s hand and pressed it to his belt, his voice with a bewitching voice, “Undo it.”

       “…You’re using your power for personal gain!” Xu Ye finally came to his senses, his face was red as he protested

       “Mr. Xu, there are many unspoken rules in this business circle. Today, I will personally teach you the simplest of them—to adapt to someone’s preference.” Chu Yu, like a well-behaved big cat, gently licked his Adam’s apple, “It’s a rare opportunity, learn it well.”

       Xu Ye didn’t have a chance to resist, blushing as he reached down to undo the belt and then clumsily unzipped the man’s underwear slightly. The man’s thick c0ck popped out and made him shrink back.

       Chu Yu pressed him on the table. His fingers brought cold liquid into the narrow hole at the back and slowly expanded it. His lips were close to his ear, and he chuckled, “The way you elaborated your plan was very seductive. From the beginning to the end, I just wanted to strip you naked, press you down on the table, and take you hard. Mr. Xu, you have been seducing me all along.”

       “I didn’t… uhn…” The confused and bewildered Xu Ye bloomed like a passionate flower in the hands of the man, shyly unfolding. As for why there ‘happened’ to be lubricant in this office, he no longer had the energy to think about it.

       Chu Yu’s eyes gradually deepened, and the hot and thick c0ck under pressed against the tender hole, grinding and turning until Xu Ye completely relaxed before he straightened up and slowly inserted it.

       “Ah—” Xu Ye tilted his neck back, whimpering as he endured the man’s thrusts, “Master, it’s too deep… ugh…” The tunnel was stretched to the maximum, and he felt as if he was about to be cut through by that c0ck. It was like a blade piercing through, and the pain was mixed with indescribable joy. His legs unconsciously hooked up the man’s strong waist, and he slightly raised his lower body to bring the two of them met closer together.

       Just then, there was a knock on the door.

       Xu Ye was startled and looked at the door in panic. The wall contracted due to tension, tightening the burning desire inside even more. It was like a small mouth sucking the c0ck hard, bringing ultimate pleasure. Chu Yu panted, raised his lips and said in his ear, “What do you think other people’s expressions will be when they see White Crane’s vice president under me with such a s/utty look?”

       Xu Ye grabbed him in panic and shook his head desperately, begging in a low voice, “Master… please…”

       “What are you begging me for, to let him in?” The man thrust while deliberately misinterpreting his meaning. Seeing the man trembling slightly with shame beneath him, with even more force, he mercilessly targeted his sensitive spots.

       “Ahn… don’t let anyone else in, please…” He begged in panic, his eyes wet.

       There was another knock on the door. Xu Ye turned pale and covered his mouth with the back of his hand, trying to hold back the moans that were about to overflow his lips.

       “It’s okay if you don’t want to be seen.” Chu Yu’s eyes were filled with a narrow smile, “Lie on the table, lift your butt up, and twist your waist to match me.”

       Xu Ye bit his lip, stood obediently at the table and leaned down, burying his face in his arms in shame.

       Chu Yu picked up the phone and told his secretary, “I’m in the middle of a conversation now. No one is allowed to disturb me for an hour.” Then he straightened his waist and pushed his c0ck into the secret hole between the snow-white buttocks as if he wanted to squeeze his full flesh into the narrow hole. He used enough force to make Xu Ye whimper. Such ferocious thrusting forced the recipient to soften his body to cooperate. Xu Ye’s legs gradually lost strength and were swaying to the point of collapse. The top of his c0ck kept rubbing against the edge of the table, but the man used his tie to tie the base of his pen-s. The man tightened it tightly, and he couldn’t ejaculate at all; only the front end kept secreting clear mucus.

       “Master, I can’t stand it anymore…Ah—” The wall behind was rubbed until it seemed to be on fire. He couldn’t tell whether it was because of himself or the thick weapon that was burning inside his body. The feeling of wanting to ejaculate but not being able to ejaculate made him finally cry out, “Spare me… Woo… Master…”

       The business elite, who was calm and collected at the negotiation table, was crying and begging under him with his white buttocks tilted up, which ignited all Chu Yu’s desires. The frequency of thrusting continued to increase, and each deliberately squeezed his glands. Xu Ye was trembling all over from being topped, and he couldn’t even speak complete words, and even his cries were intermittent. When he was allowed to ejaculate, he felt the hot liquid filling his body. His mind went blank, and he collapsed on the desk, not even having the strength to get up.

       Chu Yu’s office was connected to a fully functional bathroom, which was convenient for use during long overtime work. The single-person bathtub, which was not too big, accommodated two men at this time, which seemed a bit crowded. Xu Ye, who was gradually recovering, leaned his head on the chest of the man behind him and asked in a low voice, “Can you let go of the five percent?”

       The man chuckled, “Money lover.”

       “If I had such a big industry, I wouldn’t care about the five percent.”

       “Are you beating around the bush and calling me a cheapskate?” Chu Yu rubbed his waist, “It seems like you want more conversation?”

       “Don’t…I was wrong…” Xu Ye escaped from the bathtub on his hands and feet, but the man grabbed his wrist.

       “You can forget about the land payment. Golden Eagle will invest in the resort as part of its fixed assets, with a stake not exceeding fifteen percent. On one hand, it can alleviate your loan pressure; on the other hand, the situation in Donglin is quite complex. Having the Golden Eagle brand there will make your future endeavours much smoother.”

       He was stunned and asked softly, “You have already thought about it, haven’t you?” Chu Yu’s proposal was so detailed and thoughtful that he had no way to refuse.

       “This is a decision I made after reviewing your proposal.” The man looked at him, his dark eyes full of gentle light, “Both of us are businessmen. Today, you’ve demonstrated your professionalism to me, and in the same vein, I’ve given my cooperation proposal after weighing the pros and cons. If you had played the emotional card, I might have been willing to offer more favourable terms because that’s the value I’m willing to pay for this relationship. Since you didn’t, I respect your choice. These conditions are set because I see potential in this project and believe you can excel at it, bringing good returns to my company.”

       “Thank you.” Xu Ye said with a lot of gratitude in his eyes, “I will definitely do my best to make this project a success.”

       Chu Yu smiled, saying, “I look forward to it.”

Chapter 55

      People, in their lives, all had things they dared not face. Even someone like Suo Yang, who seemed like nothing could make him bend, inevitably also had his own vulnerabilities.

       Shen Huiming gently embraced him and patted his back lightly.

       Suo Yang said, “It’s okay, it’s been so long, I’m used to it.”

       How could one ever get used to it?

       This would always be a knot in life that couldn’t be untied.

       Shen Huiming wanted to do something for him.

       “Alright,” Suo Yang smiled, “Let’s go in and watch a movie.”

       He broke free from Shen Huiming’s embrace and helped the other party straighten his shirt, “One day all problems will be solved. I’m not in a hurry.”

       “Okay.” Shen Huiming gave his shoulder a comforting squeeze, “No rush.”

       The two of them watched the movie. This time, Shen Huiming chose the movie himself and found a masterpiece that he had been watching repeatedly for years.

       Suo Yang had actually seen this movie, but it was when he was very young, probably around seven or eight years old. At that time, he was standing in the living room at home, standing in front of the TV, watching this film broadcast on the movie channel.

       His memory of this movie had become hazy, and he only remembered that the male lead seemed to have scissor-like hands. The only scene he recalled was the male lead standing in the snow, looking back at the female lead.

       At that time, he, who didn’t understand love, only felt that these hands were a little scary.

       Years later, he re-watched this movie with his lover. Although at the beginning, he couldn’t calm down to watch due to lingering melancholy, he gradually got drawn into that virtual world.

       It was only now that he realised that the ‘snow’ he remembered from his childhood was not real snow at all.

       He didn’t know if he hadn’t understood it back then or if his memories had been altered over the years.

       When that line was spoken in the movie—This city can’t see snow, so I’ll make it snow for you. Each snowflake that falls is saying, I love you.

       He sighed and leaned on Shen Huiming’s shoulder.

       Suo Yang didn’t know if he was too greedy. He wanted both snow and rain, desiring both love and the restoration of his family relationship.

       At the end of the movie, Suo Yang said, “You forgot one thing.”

       Shen Huiming turned to look at him, “Huh? What?”

       Suo Yang smiled, “You forgot to kiss me forcefully.”

       The two of them smiled at each other, and all of Suo Yang’s sorrows dissipated in Shen Huiming’s kiss.

       A lover’s kiss was the herb of forgetfulness, the remedy for all sorrows and the antidote to all ailments.

====

       After the National Day holiday, Shen Huiming became busier than before.

       The last two months of the year were filled with wrapping up projects and planning for the next year’s work.

       Project evaluations and new project bids, as the boss, he had to personally review everything. It was manageable when Suo Yang was around; no matter how late it was, Shen Huiming would go to see him, or Suo Yang would come to the office to keep him company during overtime. However, when Suo Yang wasn’t there, Shen Huiming wished he could simply live at the office.

       Originally, the two were discussing to find an opportunity to have dinner with Shen Huiming’s parents, but due to his busy schedule, the chance never came.

       And so, the two people who had met in early autumn walked hand in hand into the city’s first snowfall. 

       Suo Yang had just got off the plane that day when he heard his colleague say, “It’s snowing.”

       He was still wearing his uniform, standing in the airport lobby, and turned his head to look out the window.

       Almost at the same time, he received a message from Shen Huiming: Have you landed? I’m here to pick you up.

       It had been a while since Shen Huiming had come to pick Suo Yang up and take him home, not that he didn’t want to, but he really didn’t have the time.

       Suo Yang also didn’t want him to come over all the time for no other reason than fearing he’d be too tired. Suo Yang figured that during the time Shen Huiming spent driving, he might as well lie down and get some rest.

       But it was undeniable that Suo Yang was very happy when Shen Huiming came.

       He called directly, “I’m out.”

       “The old place is waiting for you.” Shen Huiming said with a smile, “Do you still remember where the ‘old place’ is?”

       Suo Yang laughed, “Of course I remember. Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”

       Suo Yang swiftly carried his suitcase and hurried to meet Shen Huiming. As he approached the other party, he felt as if his steps had become light, as if love were a cloud carrying him through the bustling streets.

       The ‘old place’ Shen Huiming mentioned was the coffee shop where he had first waited for Suo Yang when picking him up.

       Because of its remote location, this store was always sparsely populated.

       Shen Huiming sat near the door, just like the last time he had waited for Suo Yang, with his book ‘On Love’. This time, however, he had his ‘love’ with him.

       Suo Yang hurried over and spotted Shen Huiming from a distance.

       He enjoyed weaving through the crowd to observe Suo Yang, relishing the feeling that ‘the only special person in the crowd is my lover’.

       He walked over and stood beside Shen Huiming with a smile.

       “Mr. Shen, good evening.” Suo Yang said with a smile in his eyes, “Do you need something to eat?”

       Shen Huiming held back a smile and looked at him, “What do you think?”

       They locked eyes, engaging in a playful exchange of glances.

       “Can we clock out now?” Shen Huiming stood up.

       “Sure, unless you are still reluctant to part with this place.”

       “A little bit, actually.” Shen Huiming followed Suo Yang out, “After all, this place can be regarded as one of our dating places.”

       They had quite a few romantic spots—on the plane, at the coffee shop, and even in a small church in Berlin.

       Like small streams merging into the sea, their bits and pieces of affection were scattered everywhere they passed together and finally converged into this intense and lasting love.

       “I brought you a gift today.” Before today, the two hadn’t seen each other for more than a week.

       Shen Huiming had been busy, and Suo Yang had swapped shifts with a colleague, which had resulted in them not having a chance to meet for over a week.

       For over a week, when they were busy, it seemed manageable as there was no time or energy to think about each other. However, once they had some rest, they couldn’t stop thinking about one another.

       Is Suo Yang on the plane?

       Has Suo Yang eaten yet?

       What time is it over where Suo Yang is?

       Does Suo Yang miss me?

       Shen Huiming felt that he might have been bewitched by Suo Yang, as he couldn’t help but think of him whenever he had a moment to spare.

       Since being together with Suo Yang, Shen Huiming’s phone has accumulated time zones from many different countries. Those who didn’t know it would think that he had a lover in every country.

       Previously, Suo Yang had come by car, and the car was parked in the parking lot specially prepared for their internal personnel.

       Now that Shen Huiming came, he didn’t bother with the car and just followed him.

       Shen Huiming had mentioned bringing a gift earlier, but he had yet to take it out. Suo Yang didn’t inquire further, and he didn’t even ask Shen Huiming where they were headed. He placed his full trust in Shen Huiming, leaning against the passenger seat and eventually drifting off to sleep.

       When Suo Yang woke up, the car had already stopped, and he realised they were parked outside Shen Huiming’s home.

       “Are you awake now?” Shen Huiming looked at him with a smile.

       “Yeah.” Suo Yang was a bit tired, having flown back for more than ten hours, he desperately needed to catch up on his sleep.

       “In that case, go home and get some sleep first. You can eat when you wake up,” Shen Huiming helped him unbuckle his seatbelt and gave him a kiss. “Get out of the car; I have a gift for you.”

       Only then did Suo Yang remember that Shen Huiming had mentioned gifts before.

       What kind of gift required him to get out of the car to receive it?

       He got out of the car in a daze and then watched Shen Huiming take his suitcase from the trunk and lead him upstairs.

       So, the gift was upstairs?

       The two entered Shen Huiming’s house. Shen Huiming put the suitcase against the wall and said to him, “Are you ready to receive my gift?”

       Suo Yang turned to look at him.

       Shen Huiming gave his ear a kiss and said, “Stay right here, don’t move, and wait for me.”

       After Shen Huiming finished his explanation, he entered the house.

       The house was dark without the lights on, except for the moonlight coming in from the big window on the other side of the living room.

       Suo Yang was obedient and stood still, waiting for Shen Huiming’s gift.

       Soon, Shen Huiming came out, pushing a small cart with a huge bunch of roses on it, surrounded by red candles.

       Suo Yang froze in surprise. This kind of plot probably only appears in idol dramas. Where did Shen Huiming learn this from?

       “The last time I went to your house, I bought you 21 roses.” Shen Huiming said, “It’s not that I’m stingy, it’s just that they didn’t have enough roses at the flower shop to make up the number I wanted. They say 21 roses represent sincere love, so I reluctantly settled for a small bouquet.”

       Suo Yang stood there, looking at him with a smile.

       “How many flowers are there this time?” Suo Yang asked with a smile.

       “101 flowers.” Shen Huiming said, “It might be cliché, but 101 roses represent that you are the one I love the most.”

       Cliché?

       Yes, it was pretty cliché.

       But for them, this kind of cliché was romantic and heartwarming.

       Suo Yang walked over and initiated a kiss, wrapping his arms around Shen Huiming’s neck. 

       “What made you decide to give me roses again?”

       “I knew you wouldn’t remember.” Shen Huiming said, “We have been together for 100 days.”

       100 days.

       A little over three months.

       Time seemed to pass both quickly and slowly for them.

       The first meeting between the two seemed like it had just happened, yet Suo Yang couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with Shen Huiming.

       “I’m not very good at preparing surprises,” Shen Huiming said. “While I was planning this, I realized I still know so little about you, I don’t even know what you like.”

       He put his arms around Suo Yang’s waist, “I should reflect on that.”

       His words made Suo Yang’s heart sour and swell. Who could really have a complete grasp of another person’s preferences? Shen Huiming was already meticulous enough.

       Rather than knowing every preference, having this kind of care was already quite rare.

       Suo Yang said, “You do know my favourite thing.”

       “I know?” Shen Huiming furrowed his brow, trying to recall seriously.

       Suo Yang laughed, raising his hand to unbutton his shirt, “It’s you, silly.”

       His ‘silly’ was teasing and somewhat flirtatious, which made Shen Huiming no longer in the mood to be romantic.

       His handsome flight attendant was still wearing his uniform at this time, standing there looking at him with eyes filled with affection.

       “Suo Yang…” Shen Huiming took a deep breath and firmly grasped the hand that was unbuttoning his shirt.

       Suo Yang looked up, thinking he might not want this.

       Unexpectedly, Shen Huiming held onto his hand, turned to blow out the candles, and then suddenly lifted Suo Yang, carrying him into the bedroom.

       Lovemaking was not the only expression of love, but it was indeed one of the ways to express love.

       Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other for over a week, or perhaps it was because Suo Yang was touched by Shen Huiming’s romantic gesture the moment he arrived. Suo Yang, for once, took the initiative and led the way for this night.

       That included undressing Shen Huiming.

       That included making the sound of Shen Huiming’s breath.

       And it included Shen Huiming himself.

       He kissed his partner and then said, “Thank you.”
