Chapter 21 It's just a charade.
Shen Jin stared at the phone that had been hung up, stunned for a moment. The anxiety he had felt just moments before now felt like a heavy stone was lodged in his heart, slowly sinking down, making it hard for him to breathe.
Why did you hang up...? If you're too busy to come, you could have just let me know...
Shen Jin pursed his lips, feeling bitter inside. He didn't know what expression to make, so he could only force a smile, which was more embarrassing than crying, and his face was very pale.
"You could have just told me you weren't coming..." Shen Jin lowered his eyes, his hands stroking the breakfast box, finding it increasingly cold with each touch. A bitter smile played on his lips. "I wouldn't have bothered you or bothered you while you were busy..."
But when you suddenly stop saying anything and don't answer the phone, it makes me uneasy...
Shen Jin let out a soft breath, rubbed his face, and tried to calm himself down. He couldn't keep a sullen face; what if Yan Yu saw him later...?
Yan Yu said that he has a particularly handsome smile, and he likes him very much.
Thinking of this, Shen Jin smiled again. It seemed that thinking of Yan Yu always gave him energy. Then he slowly stood up from the chair and looked out the window again.
Just then, he suddenly heard footsteps and voices coming from the corridor ahead.
Shen Jin's eyes lit up instantly, filled with undisguised joy. The gloomy emotions he had just felt seemed to vanish in an instant, because he heard Yan Yu's voice!
Sure enough, Yan Yu had been too busy to answer his call, but now he was here.
Shen Jin was a little impatient. He hurriedly reached out and touched his face, afraid that he would make a fool of himself. He then touched his hair to make sure that his clothes and hair were neat and tidy before walking over quickly.
Overjoyed, he followed the sound, poked his head out of the corridor, and called out happily, "Ah..."
His smile froze after uttering just one word...
He stared blankly as Yan Yu, carrying something in his hands and supporting another handsome young man, walked step by step down another path, without coming towards him...
The handsome young man being supported by him gave a sweet smile, like lovers in the throes of passion. He gently leaned his head against Yan Yu and teased him softly, "Look at you, so considerate. I told you everything was fine."
Xie Li said this, but he was overjoyed inside. His heart was pounding, and he felt an indescribable sweetness that made him feel safe and content.
Especially when Yan Yuluo's gaze fell upon him, it made him feel that this man, who was the center of attention, actually belonged to him, and that he was being held in the palm of his hand.
Just thinking about it made him lean a little closer to Yan Yu's chest, but he pretended to be nonchalant and smiled.
"Knowing that you're not in good health, you should take extra care of yourself." Yan Yu looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection, and his voice carried a faint smile. "You've been frail and sickly since you were a child, and now that you're living with me, I can take good care of you."
In the past, Xie Li would have just made a few jokes with a smile, trying to avoid sensitive topics. But now, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a half-smile on his face: "Is it just taking care of me?"
Ayu, can you do other things? If you're going to do something...
I probably won't refuse you...
When the thought crossed Xie Li's mind, he felt his ears burning and could only awkwardly look away, rubbing his nose.
This reaction was incredibly endearing to Yan Yu, as if it had touched a nerve, sending a shiver down his spine. The more unattainable something was, the more it fueled his desire to conquer it…
Therefore, his hand, which was around Xie Li's waist, unconsciously stroked him for a moment, and he lowered his head slightly to brush against Xie Li's hair, chuckling softly in a hoarse voice, "Ah Li, you know, how I feel about you..."
Xie Li blushed. The place where Yan Yu had touched him felt like it had been electrocuted, extremely tingling, and he almost wanted to fall into Yan Yu's arms, but for the sake of his image, he still held back.
Then, feigning reluctance, she reached out and nudged Yan Yu: "Ah Yu, stop fooling around, we're still in the hospital..."
"So what if we're at the hospital?" Yan Yu was a little unconvinced. What had he, CEO Yan, ever been afraid of? He put his arm around Xie Li's waist and flicked his forehead with a smile. "I like you and I'm not afraid of people knowing."
"That sounds nice," Xie Li narrowed his eyes, gently pushed Yan Yu away, and walked slowly, laughing casually, "I've heard that there are quite a few boys around A-Yu, and you two seem to be quite close..."
Yan Yu was taken aback. There was really nothing to hide about these things. After all, he was almost thirty years old and naturally had desires. It was fine to play around and have some fun. But when it came from the person he had liked for many years, it had a completely different meaning.
Therefore, he decisively put his arm around Xie Li's waist, pinched his face, and explained with a smile, "Ah Li, don't listen to people's nonsense. I'm just playing around, I didn't take it seriously... You can't listen to other people's nonsense! It's just playing around, how can it compare to you?"
After saying that, he quickly leaned over and kissed Xie Li's ear, causing Xie Li to blush instantly and push him away: "Don't, don't be a pervert!"
Yan Yu laughed: "It was an accident!"
Xie Li touched the ear that had been kissed by him; it was still a little numb. He decisively retorted, "Nonsense!"
Yan Yu laughed, feeling as if they were flirting.
Suddenly, for some reason, Shen Jin's face flashed through Yan Yu's mind...
His smile froze for a moment, his emotions instantly becoming complicated, and then he shook his head, trying not to think about it too much.
The key right now is to win Ah-li's heart...
