The story of Yuzuru Hanyu and Sugihara Raku (a Japanese-Finnish national), set in a parallel world created along a realistic timeline, featuring the figure skating GOAT and a ballet choreographer.<...
Chapter 80 Yours, Mine
Le's tears have always been Yuzuru Hanyu's weak spot.
Now, as he watched, she covered her face and burst into tears. She cried so hard she couldn't even speak clearly, yet she still cursed him. She looked like a livid kitten with its tail pinned down, her anger temporarily fading. Furthermore, she felt a great deal of guilt for not controlling her strength when she put her down earlier. He reached out to brush the tears from her face, but she slapped him away. He leaned in to hug her, but she pressed hard against his chest, preventing him from getting any closer.
"Go away! I hate you!"
"Okay, hate me. Don't cry." He was still stronger and regardless of her struggle, he hugged her tightly in his arms.
"You bastard!" She was locked tightly against his chest, and could only express her anger through her voice. Her voice was muffled, and the thick sobbing tone left more of a grievance than a sob.
"Yes, I'm an asshole." He turned his head and kissed her ear soothingly, explaining softly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't be angry with you. I should be angry with myself. You're right, I'm an asshole. I'm an incompetent boyfriend. I didn't take your difficulties into consideration and blamed you. I'm sorry."
His apology was sincere, and after holding her and soothing her for a long time, Le finally calmed down. However, her tears seemed to flow uncontrollably, sobbing and burying her face in the crook of his neck, she continued to curse. She would even take advantage of the moments when he loosened his grip to break free and give him a few weak blows, though the pain she managed to get back was only a drop in the bucket.
"Ouch..." He cried out in pain with great deliberateness. He loosened his arms and put some distance between them, looking pitiful. "Le Ke, please don't hit me anymore. I've already been beaten up today, and that guy Xiao Jie, when he tried to stop the fight, it felt like he was taking revenge. I'm still in pain..."
"It's obviously you. You just said, 'No, I'm fine.'" Le wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, not caring that her tears were all over her face. She couldn't speak clearly, but she still wanted to refute him immediately.
"How can it be okay? It really hurts." He said, unbuttoning the two buttons on the collar of his pajamas in a few seconds, pulling off the collar, and sure enough, there was a very obvious bruise on his shoulder. "Look, that Hejiu guy is not a pushover." Seeing the obvious distress in Le's eyes, he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Le, can you help me apply some medicine... I can't handle it myself..."
Without waiting for Le's reply, he quickly stripped off his clothes, grabbed the ointment from the bedside table, shoved it into her hand, and turned his back. His entire back was exposed to her, undoubtedly allowing her to do whatever she wanted. Several mottled purple-red bruises were evident on his smooth, white back. Just looking at them, it was clear that these two had fought without courtesy.
His fingers gently touched the bruise, and he shuddered slightly.
Use force with your fingertips.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts..." He answered obediently with his head lowered, his voice low.
"It was you who started it. I heard everything." She warmed the ointment with her palm and placed it on his back, rubbing it with the cool warmth. She exposed his pity trick as she rubbed it. It was clearly him who lost his temper today, hitting He Jiu first and then getting angry at her. Thinking of this, Le unconsciously increased the strength of her hands.
"Hiss...be gentle..." Yuzuru Hanyu couldn't help but protest softly, "It really hurts, and I pulled it when I was carrying you just now. It really hurts."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but after he did, Le was even more upset. He even wanted to throw away the ointment in his hand and go on strike. Why did he still apply the ointment to him?
She did just that, covering the medicine and throwing it at the foot of the bed. But she still felt unsatisfied. Looking at his back, she felt a surge of anger. She grabbed his arm and bit his shoulder.
Yuzuru Hanyu was startled by her sudden attack. She bit him so relentlessly that he cried out in pain. He immediately broke free from her grasp and grabbed Le's wrist, subduing the sneak attacking biter.
There were neat and clear teeth marks next to the bruises from the fight.
The kitten that bit people looked stubborn and didn't seem to feel that it was wrong at all.
Yuzuru Hanyu sighed.
"Have you calmed down?" He reached out and pinched her cheek. "I hurt you today, and you bit me back. So we're even now, aren't we?"
She shook her head, indicating that she didn't accept this so-called reconciliation. She'd been very busy lately, not only with the pressure of rehearsals, but also with the immense pressure of public opinion. After this busy period, she could meet him in Sendai, which was her biggest motivation lately. But...
Thinking of this, her eyes turned red again.
"I missed you so much..." All the grievances melted into these few words, instantly melting Yuzuru Hanyu's heart. There was no need to say the rest. He hooked his hand under her chin and swallowed all her grievances.
The hand against his chest gradually loosened its strength, and the active responses were all encouragement, allowing Yuzuru Hanyu to find an outlet for his worries and anxieties. Quarrels and right and wrong became less important. What mattered was that they honestly needed each other.
Sometimes he was truly thankful that, despite being incredibly awkward at expressing herself, Le still had a frank side. He propped himself up, looked at the person beneath him, and gently smoothed her messy hair with his fingers. Perhaps it was from crying too much, or perhaps it was from the kiss they had just shared, but her eyes were red, and under the soft bedroom light, she seemed a bit tipsy and dazed. He stroked her cheek with his palm, and she leaned in, gently rubbing it against his palm.
The most deadly act of spoiled childishness is just like this...
"I guess you missed me, because I missed you too." He said in a deep voice, rubbing the tip of his thumb against the corner of her eye. "But, Le, can you tell me directly next time?"
She looked away and turned her head away without intending to answer, but was immediately grabbed by the chin by Yuzuru Hanyu and forced to turn around.
"Don't run away." He unconsciously added a bit of toughness to his words.
"Doesn't what I said today count?" She bit her lip and said it innocently. But her fingers lightly brushed across his chest, the meaning was obvious.
The look in his eyes was irrefutable.
"Have you calmed down?" His fingers lingered on the buttons of her pajamas. He suppressed the desire that was aroused and calmly seized the opportunity to negotiate.
Cooling down? Le chuckled softly, raised her hand, firmly hooked it around his neck, and bit his Adam's apple, which was bobbing up and down. As he gasped, she slowly relaxed her grip, brushing his skin with her teeth, and finally licked the bite mark with the tip of her tongue.
He gritted his teeth and endured the long punishment until his patience was almost exhausted and Le let him go.
"Is that all right?" He said in a hoarse voice, "Playing around has its price."
Yuzuru Hanyu is a man of his words, and naturally, Le will personally pay the price for his playful ways. He is already well versed in the tit-for-tat approach, but his next move makes Le exclaim in surprise.
"Don't!" She propped herself up and put her hand on his head, "No need..."
He did not obey her obstruction, but pulled her hand away and kissed her palm.
"I want to do it. I will try my best to make Le comfortable."
He was good at learning and exploring new areas, in every aspect. Unprecedented experiences surged towards her like a tide, enveloping them until the tide receded, allowing them to breathe.
"Le, are you okay?" He asked, stroking her flushed cheek after calming his breathing.
His voice was filled with tenderness now, a completely different tone than just now, leaving Le in a trance. She looked at the man in front of her with a satisfied look on his face, and didn't open her mouth to respond to his question. Instead, she raised her hand and softly punched his chest.
"I've served you so hard, can you calm down now?" The extreme pleasure could not make Yuzuru Hanyu forget his purpose. While his girlfriend in his arms was not on guard, he played with the hair that was stuck to her neck due to sweat, and continued to persuade her.
This time the temptation was very effective, and Le Wo nodded obediently in his arms.
He kissed her forehead with satisfaction, stood up and took care of it himself, taking a wet towel from the bathroom to wipe Le.
Le leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the man who took good care of her. The bruise on his shoulder was particularly obvious against his fair skin, and he spoke as if possessed.
"I'm going to settle accounts with Hejiu tomorrow. That reporter incident was something I had to deal with sooner or later, so why am I taking my anger out on you?"
"Your business?" Yuzuru Hanyu's wiping hand suddenly paused.
"Yeah... the reporter's matter has nothing to do with you! Why should I blame you? If I must say something, it's because of you that I was able to make up my mind to solve this matter. Shouldn't I thank you?" She looked at him, wanting to seek his approval, but found that he lowered his head stubbornly and said nothing.
The obvious low pressure made Le suddenly realize that he must have stepped on a landmine again.
"Well... I won't mention Kazujiu anymore... you..." Before he could finish his words, Yuzuru Hanyu leaned over with a hint of danger.
"My apology is complete, but why do I feel like Le seems to have no remorse at all?"
"I..." Le was speechless for a moment, because she really didn't think she had done anything wrong.
The reporter's incident was an unfortunate experience from her youth. She didn't discuss it with him because it would have been pointless, except for causing him more trouble. Besides, the matter had already been resolved. Could Yuzuru Hanyu not understand such a simple truth?
After thinking about it, the reason for being angry can only be because of He Jiu's provocation. After all, He Jiu is a guy with a bad mouth. Who knows what he said specifically?
Before she could figure out how to respond, Yuzuru Hanyu had already landed on her neck with a kiss that was filled with emotion and biting. He seemed to want to teach her a lesson, and unlike just now, every movement of his carried a strong sense of punishment.
Le has always been reluctant to dwell on things she can't figure out, and now she has no time to think any further and can only concentrate on responding to his requests.
"I'll ask you one last time, does this really have nothing to do with me?" I whispered in her ear.
Judging from his tone, the answer must be "related." But what kind of relationship was he asking about? What was it about? The reporter? Before Le could even think about it, the subtle silence had already made Hanyu Yuzuru's mind decide.
So the punishment came with force and without any rules, and it seemed that even the temperature had increased.
Le suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing this time.
"Yuzuru, you forgot... uh, ah..."
"Mine, yours, do we have to keep it so clearly divided?" He answered irrelevantly in her ear. "What about now? Can you feel it? Our relationship?" He said this while deliberately emphasizing his presence. "Without that layer, can I be yours?"
His words calmed Le down, and she finally understood that he hadn't forgotten anything, but had done it on purpose.
After figuring it out, Le Moming was no longer panicked. Instead, she relaxed her body and leaned into his arms.
"Yes, all, ah, all are fine." The words were fragmented in his rhythm, but it still had a great impact on him.
Yuzuru Hanyu stared at the person before him with wide eyes. She hadn't resisted at all, simply giving everything to him without reservation, even including... a deeper level of power.
He held her tightly until the last moment before letting her go. He really wanted to keep this right for the time being.
The night finally ended, Yuzuru Hanyu prepared the bath water and carried Le into the bathroom.
Sitting in the tub, Le couldn't help but quietly rub her waist in the water. The overbearing force and position were too much for her to bear. She felt as if her waist was about to break. Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by the instigator behind her, and his large palm began to massage her aching waist, helping to relieve the sore muscles.
"Can't you just tell me the truth?" His question was ambiguous. "When you can't unbutton your clothes, when you feel uncomfortable doing it..."
"Even if I tell you, you won't let me go..." she muttered softly. Unsurprisingly, she was pinched on the waist.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about." He lowered his head and rested his chin on her neck.
Really, there's nothing I can do about him...
"Yuzuru, I've thought about this seriously. I've chosen the career path of ballet choreographer, so whether it's the journalistic issues or my fear of the camera, I have to overcome them. Even without considering your fame, these things are inevitable in my life..." She leaned into his arms and spoke seriously, scooping up a handful of water from the bathtub and putting it down again from time to time. "For me now, as long as I grit my teeth and persevere this time, I will be more qualified to be by your side in the future. Isn't that a good thing?"
The strength of the waist massage slowed down for a moment as she spoke, and Yuzuru Hanyu hugged Le and sighed slowly.
"Le, I'm not a prize."
"Huh?"
"I'm not your prize for handling difficult situations beautifully. We're lovers... I'm supposed to be your partner in facing difficulties together, your support, right?"
His words stunned Le, and it took him a while to realize what he meant.
"I didn't feel comfortable doing it..." She spoke softly and he couldn't hear clearly.
"What did you say?"
"I mean, my waist hurts quite a bit. Press this side." She took his hand and placed it on the part of her waist where she felt the pain was worse. "Honestly..." Her voice trailed off again. "It will happen again in the future. I'll try...but I might be used to it..."
She didn't admit her mistake directly, but she leaned softly in his arms and murmured. Yuzuru Hanyu felt that tonight's argument probably had a result that everyone was satisfied with.
After enjoying a massage and a warm bath, Lewo waited on the sofa for Yuzuru Hanyu to make the bed, hugging her pillow and dozing off. Before she fell asleep, Yuzuru Hanyu came over and scratched her nose with his knuckles.
"Let's go to bed." He reached out and picked her up. He hadn't noticed it before, but after two weeks of not seeing her, she seemed to have lost some weight.
"Oh no! I forgot!" Le suddenly remembered something important and broke free from his embrace. She trudged to her suitcase, dug out a small medicine box from a compartment, and then trotted to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.
The pills jingled in the box, a sound that served as a reminder, waking Yuzuru Hanyu up. He went over and hugged Le from behind, looking apologetic.
"sorry……"
"Yuzuru, what's wrong with you?" She tilted her head back and swallowed the pill in her mouth, then turned back to ask him, "Your face is so red... Is the bath water too hot?"
She likes hotter water when bathing, and every time they bathe together, Yuzuru Hanyu always screams in the heat. But now he blushes a lot because of this...
"I'm sorry for making you take this kind of medicine..."
"Huh? This, ah... you misunderstood..." Le was about to explain when he covered his mouth.
"It's okay, no need to explain. Although I didn't do it inside, I was wrong for not asking for Le's consent first. Taking the medicine was just in case, I understand, no need to explain. I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again." He said a long string of words in one breath, and each sentence contained words of understanding and apology, but with a strange and awkward feeling.
"This is not the kind of medicine you mentioned! Although, the effect is... almost the same..." Le was a little amused, "This is for regulating menstruation. I have been taking it recently. The premiere of the play is coming soon, and I am worried that my period will not coincide with my period, so I asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for regulation." This was a habit she had before important performances or competitions. Although she was not going on stage this time, she still kept the habit unconsciously.
"……oh……"
I don’t know whether it was disappointment or relief, but Hanyu couldn’t escape the complicated fate tonight.
