Chapter 52

       This awkward atmosphere continued under the stalemate between the two.

       Chen Yuncheng wanted to leave, but Ning Junyan refused to let go. Chen Yuncheng’s clothes were all soaked through, and even though the room was well-heated, he still felt cold after a while as they clung to his body wetly. He said to Ning Junyan, “It’s too cold.”

       Ning Junyan asked, “Is it cold even when I’m holding you?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “You should let me go back and change my clothes.”

       Ning Junyan seemed to be hesitating, but after a while, he finally let go of his hand, “Go.”

       Chen Yuncheng hurriedly climbed out of the bathtub and found his other slipper on the floor. He walked outside despite the water dripping all over his body, went back to his room to find a change of clothes and went into the guest bathroom to take a shower with hot water.

       After he took a shower and changed clothes, almost half an hour passed before Chen Yuncheng felt that his whole body had warmed up. He looked in the mirror and saw that his cheeks were still red, not knowing whether it was because of the steam from the heat of the shower or the little bit of alcohol that hadn’t dissipated.

       When he wanted to go back to his room, he was suddenly worried about Ning Junyan. He didn’t know if Ning Junyan was asleep now, or if Ning Junyan had just put on hot water to take a shower again, after all, when Chen Yuncheng was sitting there all drenched and cold, Ning Junyan was also wet and without clothes.

       He walked gently to the door of Ning Junyan’s room, this time he didn’t knock on the door, but just opened the door a crack. He saw that it was already dark inside, Ning Junyan must have turned off the light and gone to sleep.

       Chen Yuncheng closed the door and wanted to leave, but just as he turned around he turned back and opened it again. He walked in at a lighter pace and after his eyes had adjusted to the darkness in the room, he saw Ning Junyan lying on the bed, wrapping himself in a quilt.

       He went to the bed and squatted down, approached Ning Junyan’s face, and asked softly, “Are you asleep?”

       Ning Junyan simply responded, “En.”

       Chen Yuncheng reached out to touch his forehead, and asked at the same time, “Did you take a hot shower by yourself afterwards?”

       Ning Junyan did not answer.

       Chen Yuncheng worriedly reached into the quilt again to find Ning Junyan’s hand, “Are you cold?” He touched Ning Junyan who wasn’t even wearing pyjamas.

       Ning Junyan suddenly grabbed Chen Yuncheng’s hand. Chen Yuncheng was startled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Ning Junyan held it too firmly, so he failed. Ning Junyan’s palm was hot, but not too hot. Ning Junyan took Chen Yuncheng’s hand and placed it on his chest, and his skin was also warm.

       Chen Yuncheng was a little relieved, “You are not cold, right?”

       Ning Junyan said, “I’m cold, come up and give me a hug.”

       His tone was still flat, but to Chen Yuncheng’s ears, it sounded like he was being coquettish. Chen Yuncheng pinched his nose with his hands and said, “You’re thirty years old and you’re like this in the hospital?”

       Ning Junyan said, “No, only to you.”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t say anything, he could already see Ning Junyan’s facial features clearly in the dark, and he knew that the other party was looking at him with his eyes open. They weren’t full of affection, but they were just full of attention as if he was the only one in the world worthy of looking at so intently.

       For a moment, Chen Yuncheng felt guilty for the rejection he had been giving Ning Junyan, and he said, “Do you really think this relationship of ours can last?”

       Ning Junyan asked him back: “Why not?”

       Chen Yuncheng touched Ning Junyan’s eyebrows with his fingers, “We are both men.”

       Ning Junyan asked him, “Are you disgusted with me?”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head, “How could I be disgusted with you?”

       Ning Junyan said to him, “Come up, I’m going to say something to you.”

       Chen Yuncheng did not move.

       Ning Junyan said again, “I won’t do anything, after all this time, have I ever forced you to do anything?”

       Chen Yuncheng finally got up and sat by the bed.

       Ning Junyan moved to the middle of the bed, let Chen Yuncheng lie down beside him, and covered them both with the quilt.

       Chen Yuncheng moved a bit, his body was a little stiff, “Why aren’t you even wearing any underwear?”

       Ning Junyan said, “I don’t want to wear it, this is my bed.”

       Chen Yuncheng also felt that his accusation was a little unreasonable, he moved to the side of the bed uncomfortably, thinking that he had just laid down on the bed, and he couldn’t go back and leave immediately, so he could only say, “What do you want to say?”

       Ning Junyan was lying on his side facing him, still holding his hand, “Do you like me?”

       Chen Yuncheng was taken aback by his question as this question was a bit difficult to answer. Naturally, he liked him, but it was difficult for Chen Yuncheng to say what kind of like and to what extent. Up to now, he could only say that he didn’t love Ning Junyan to the point of death, otherwise, he would not have wanted to distance himself from Ning Junyan before it was too late, but if he was asked if his heart ever skipped a beat, he did not want to lie to himself. He must have felt it once, and more than once.

       But a heartbeat might not necessarily turn into love, nor because of one or two heartbeats that two people must be together. After all, people were not just animals manipulated by their feelings, they also have a reason.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer his question. Ning Junyan was not in a hurry and asked another question instead, “Have you ever liked anyone else? Whether it was a man or a woman?”

       “No,” Chen Yuncheng answered dryly this time.

       Ning Junyan moved closer to kiss his temples, and asked him, “If it weren’t for me, what kind of person would you be with?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “I don’t know.” After he said that, he added, “Maybe an ordinary woman.”

       “What kind of woman?” Ning Junyan asked him.

       Chen Yuncheng still said, “I don’t know, I haven’t thought about it carefully, just someone ordinary. She didn’t need to be too outstanding, or too excellent.”

       “Why?” Ning Junyan’s voice was very soft, with a rare soft tone. Although the breath smelled of alcohol, the articulation of each sentence was clear.

       Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan inserted his fingers one by one into his own and clasped them tightly, and said, “No reason, just thought it suited me.”

       “Have you ever met such a woman?” Ning Junyan asked.

       Chen Yuncheng was silent, he was seriously thinking about it, in fact, he had met one, and there was more than one. Someone had expressed interest in him, giving a vague hint that he had picked up on, but had not acted further. It was clear that it was a girl he thought was right for him, but his heart never skipped a bit.

       It was as if Ning Junyan knew the answer, “Why didn’t you stay together, wasn’t it your choice?”

       Chen Yuncheng was no longer able to answer with the word unsuitable. He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to get up and leave, but Ning Junyan put his arms around him and said to him, “Yuncheng, I am the most suitable person in the world.” Your people, you can’t leave me, and you can’t live without me either. You are afraid to answer my question, you know you are attracted to me. “

       “I didn’t,” Chen Yuncheng subconsciously denied.

       Ning Junyan put one palm in front of Chen Yuncheng’s beating heart, and said firmly, “I asked it, and it said you did.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Ning Junyan, you’re drunk.”

       Ning Junyan said, “It’s okay, you will love me more and more, just like I love you, and we will be together for the rest of our lives.”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt curious, and asked Ning Junyan, “If you hadn’t met me, what would you do now?”

       Ning Junyan said, “Just fall asleep on this bed alone, work, eat, and sleep every day, and die alone without emotion.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little startled as he asked, “Must it be me?”

       Ning Junyan nodded, “Only you.”

       They hadn’t seen each other for sixteen years, how did these sixteen years pass by, and where did Ning Junyan’s so strong feelings come from, Chen Yuncheng didn’t ask, nor did he quite dare to ask. He was always soft-hearted, and once the other party expressed too much affection, he would feel unable to bear it. At the same time, he could not help but want to run away when he felt he could not return the same affection.

       There were feelings of affection, indebtedness, and many other things, such as the dependence on each other when they were young, and the reluctance to leave when they were apart. His feelings for Ning Junyan were too complicated to be summed up by the simple word “like”, and Ning Junyan was different from the girls who had shown him affection in the past. For the first time, he felt that he could not escape.

       Ning Junyan hugged him, his forehead brushing against the side of his face. Chen Yuncheng’s heart beat violently as he reached inside the quilt and groped down, holding Ning Junyan. Ning Junyan’s movements jerked to a halt and his eyes widened in the darkness to look at him.

       Chen Yuncheng was too nervous, his throat was so dry, he said, “Didn’t you say you wanted me to touch it?”

       Ning Junyan lowered his head and kissed him fiercely on the neck, his breath unsteady as he said, “Well, it likes it very much, do you feel it?”

       Chen Yuncheng was really not used to talking to him like this, so he closed his mouth and eyes. When Ning Junyan’s hand touched his lower abdomen, he immediately bent his legs together and said, “Don’t.” He wouldn’t let Ning Junyan touch him.

       Ning Junyan didn’t force it, and replied softly, “Okay.”

       Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan’s kisses kept falling on his side face and neck, and his breathing became more and more unsteady. Even in the dark, he still felt unspeakably shy, so he raised his other arm and put it over his own eyes.

       He couldn’t see anything but he could only hear with his ears. Ning Junyan’s breathing sound was too noticeable to ignore in any way,  spreading in all directions in the wide bedroom, hitting the walls and coming back to his ears.

       The kisses also became intense and unruly.

       It was the passionate voice of an adult man, and Chen Yuncheng suddenly heard his own breathing in it, which was also full of emotion, hot and intense.

       He held his breath in fright for a moment, not wanting Ning Junyan to hear himself breathing like that.

       Ning Junyan’s voice was hoarse, and he called his name in his ear, “Yuncheng.”

       A thin layer of sweat broke out from Chen Yuncheng’s body, and his heartbeat became more and more violent, almost to the point where he couldn’t even stand it anymore. The moment he felt the wetness in his palm, he lifted the blanket off the bed and left Ning Junyan’s room with quick steps as if he was running away.


Notes:
Lmao, imagine he stopped in the middle and run away

Chapter 51

       Sun Shiliang was true to his word and hired a chauffeur for them when the banquet was over.

       Ning Junyan drank a lot tonight compared to Chen Yuncheng, who didn’t drink much and was still sober.

       When they left the private room, Chen Yuncheng took Ning Junyan’s coat from the waiter and asked Ning Junyan if he would like to put it on. Ning Junyan stretched his hand and pressed the back of his hand without saying anything and bid farewell to the two guests invited by Sun Shiliang with a clear articulation.

       When they came out of the restaurant, Ning Junyan handed over the car keys to the driver who was already waiting outside.

       Chen Yuncheng felt a gust of cool wind blowing in front of him, and said to Ning Junyan, “Put on your coat.”

       Ning Junyan glanced at him, and stretched out a hand towards him, Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to help him put on the coat, and carefully adjusted the collar for him.

       After they got in the car, Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan sat side by side in the back.

       Chen Yuncheng still didn’t know if Ning Junyan was drunk, or to what extent he was drunk. Ning Junyan’s face barely changed and his expression did not look any different, but he had not said anything since he got into the car.

       The driver followed the navigation and drove quietly.

       After a few minutes, Ning Junyan, who had straightened his back and leaned on the seat, leaned towards Chen Yuncheng and rested his head on his shoulder.

       The car was dimly lit, with only the lights from the street lamps constantly shining on the two people’s faces. Chen Yuncheng felt Ning Junyan’s short hair poking his cheek, he turned his head slightly, and asked, “Do you feel sick?”

       Ning Junyan let out an “En”.

       Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and patted his head, “I wanted to help you block the drinks.”

       Ning Junyan said, “Isn’t that your boss?”

       “Sun ge is very close to me, he just likes to have a good time and make friends, he won’t force people to drink,” Chen Yuncheng said.

       Ning Junyan whispered in his ear, “I have to show respect to my wife’s friends.”

       Chen Yuncheng moved aside instantly and looked at Ning Junyan.

       There was a little expression on Ning Jun Yan’s face, except that his head suddenly lost its leverage and he said, “I’m drunk, come here quickly.” After he said that, he stretched out his hand to grab Chen Yuncheng’s arm to pull him back, and leaned his head on it again.

       Chen Yuncheng felt suspicious, “Are you really drunk?”

       Ning Junyan didn’t answer him and closed his eyes.

       When they arrived home, it was Chen Yuncheng who took out the key from Ning Junyan’s pocket and opened the door. Ning Junyan seemed to be really drunk, or at least a little slow to respond, and rarely answered when he spoke to him.

       After he closed the door, Chen Yuncheng knelt down and put on slippers. Then he saw Ning Junyan leaning against the door and didn’t move, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay?”

       Ning Junyan looked down at him.

       Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to take his slippers off the shoe rack, untie the laces for him, and said, “Lift your feet,” then took off Ning Junyan’s leather shoes and put on slippers for him.

       After changing the shoes, Chen Yuncheng asked Ning Junyan, “Can you find where your room is?”

       Ning Junyan let out a “huh” and took Chen Yuncheng’s hand to walk inside. When he returned to his room, he said to Chen Yuncheng, “Help me take a bath.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s eyes widened instantly, “Are you crazy?”

       As if he didn’t understand what he was getting agitated about, Ning Junyan said, “I’m drunk.”

       “You’re drunk my ass!” Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan was playing with him, and turned to go outside, “Stop making trouble, wash yourself.”

       Ning Junyan stretched his hand to hold him, and at the same time pressed the other hand on the door, slamming it shut firmly, then said, “Don’t leave.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him.

       Ning Junyan said, “You can’t do this to me.”

       Chen Yuncheng stared at him for a while, then gave in first and said somewhat helplessly, “You’ve grown up, you need to learn to bathe yourself.”

       Ning Junyan kept one hand pressing the closed door, not giving Chen Yuncheng a chance to leave as he said, “You don’t want to care about me now that I grow up?”

       For a moment, Chen Yuncheng wanted to seriously argue that he should not be in charge of his bath, but after opening his mouth, he felt that anything he said would be nonsense, and finally just said, “You have to take a bath by yourself, anyway.”

       Ning Junyan looked at him for a long time, then let go of his hand and walked towards the bed, and said, “Then I’m going to take a shower.”

       Chen Yuncheng reached out to open the door and took two steps outside, but he was unsure and turned back around to lean against the door and look at Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan stood beside the bed and undressed. He took off the soft cashmere sweater and the shirt inside and threw them on the bed. Then he took off his trousers, and when only a pair of underwear was left, he went directly to the bathroom in the room. go.

       Chen Yuncheng turned his eyes away when Ning Junyan was taking off his trousers, waited until he went to the bathroom, then walked into the room to help him close the curtains, and packed up the clothes he had thrown on the bed and put them aside.

       There was a sound of water coming from the bathroom soon, but the door remained open.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t look in that direction, but went back to the door, and said loudly to Ning Junyan, “I’m outside, call out to me if you need anything.” He didn’t know what could happen to a grown man taking a bath alone, maybe if he was too drunk he might slip in the bathtub.

       After a while, Ning Junyan called him and said to him, “Come in and get me a pair of clean underwear.”

       Chen Yuncheng glanced over there, and could only see the white light shining from the door, and asked, “Where do you put your underwear?”

       Ning Junyan said, “The drawer of the middle wardrobe.”

       Chen Yuncheng opened the wardrobe in the middle, pulled open the drawer and saw the neatly stacked underwear inside, this kind of thing was too private, he took out one with some awkwardness in his heart and walked towards the bathroom.

       Inside, the sound of the water was still running, and the white water mist filled the air. Ning Junyan stood in the bathtub, his tall and strong body shining brightly.

       Chen Yuncheng tried his best not to look at it, and there was only a blurry silhouette in his sight, and he asked, “Where do you put it?”

       Ning Junyan extended a wet hand towards him, “Give it to me.”

       Chen Yuncheng should have actually wondered what Ning Junyan was doing with a pair of clean pants while the water was still running, but at that moment his brain stopped thinking, and he used all of it to control his stiff body, as he just focused on the beautiful male hand trying to hand him the panties.

       As their fingers touched each other, Ning Junyan instead abandoned his own underwear and grabbed Chen Yuncheng’s hand to pull him forward with force.

       The floor tiles were non-slip, so Chen Yuncheng was pulled by him and his upper body leaned forward. In panic, Ning Junyan put his hand under his armpit and easily carried him into the bathtub.

       Chen Yuncheng dropped one of his slippers, so one foot was still wearing the slipper, and the other foot was only left with a sock. As he felt the fine water mist from the shower hitting his face, he could only close his eyes and hold his breath for a moment.

       And the next moment, Ning Junyan kissed his lips.

       The kiss didn’t last too long as Chen Yuncheng pushed him away with force, turned his head to avoid the hot water rushing down from the top of his head, gasping for breath and shouted angrily, “Ning Junyan!”

       Ning Junyan responded gently, “I’m here.” The slender fingers stuck in the middle of his hair, and pulled his head back with a little force, forcing him to raise his head and kiss his lips again.

       Soon Chen Yuncheng’s whole body was drenched, his mouth was blocked by Ning Junyan, and the breath at the end of his nose was drowned by the hot water. Ning Junyan pulled his hair with great force, as long as he used a little force, his scalp would ache in pain and the feeling of suffocation completely surrounded him.

       He began to feel fear and struggled hard, pushing Ning Junyan hard with one hand, while the other hand still grasped Ning Junyan’s underwear reflexively.

       At this moment, Ning Junyan’s lips left his lips, and at the same time reached out to turn off the shower.

       Without Ning Junyan’s support, Chen Yuncheng suddenly couldn’t stop his body from sliding down. He supported himself on the edge of the bathtub with one hand to himself from falling to his knees, and hot water continued to drip down from his hair and clothes.

       Ning Junyan wrapped his arms around his waist and helped him up.

       Chen Yuncheng got a little angry, slapped Ning Jun’s hand extending towards his face away, and scolded, “Get lost!”

       Ning Junyan hugged him and sat down on the edge of the bathtub, forced him to sit on his lap, and said, “Are you angry?”

       Chen Yuncheng was still gasping for air.

       Ning Junyan extended his hand to take a clean towel that was placed next to the bathtub and gently wiped Chen Yuncheng’s face.

       When Chen Yuncheng wanted to grab his hand, he noticed that there was still a piece of wet cloth pinched in his hand. After taking a closer look, it was Ning Junyan’s underwear, so he raised his hand and threw it into the bathtub.

       Ning Junyan took advantage of this time to wipe off the water on his face.

       Chen Yuncheng’s chest heaved violently and said, “Are you trying to suffocate me?”

       Ning Junyan said in an indifferent tone, “I won’t suffocate you, I just want to fvck you to death.”

       Chen Yuncheng was ashamed and angry, and wanted to grab Ning Junyan’s clothes, but all he could feel was wet, slippery skin, and he said angrily, “Ning Junyan!”

       Ning Junyan lowered his head, gently rested his forehead against Chen Yuncheng’s collarbone, and said, “It was just on my mind.”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly realized that Ning Junyan was not wearing anything, and the state of his body couldn’t be more obvious and calm at this moment.

       So his anger suddenly faded a lot, only shame and anger remained, and he struggled to get up.

       Ning Junyan refused to let go and said, “Don’t go.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s wet hair stuck to both cheeks, hiding the slight redness of the blood, he said, “With you like this, what are you doing to do if I don’t leave?”

       Ning Junyan said calmly, “Then touch it.”

       Chen Yuncheng refused without thinking, “No.”

       Ning Junyan whispered in his ear in an indifferent tone, “Then just ignore it.”


The author has something to say:

Chen Yuncheng may be a little awkward. If he wasn’t awkward and conservative in this area, he wouldn’t be 28 years old and still haven’t had a relationship. Please be understanding to this older single lad
