Chapter 157 Chapter 157 [Overnight]
Lin Yimu touched his forehead which was poked by He Xiuji, glanced at him and said, "Do you dare?"
He Xiuji prepared slippers for Lin Yimu and put them aside. He pulled him into the living room and sat him down before saying, "I definitely wouldn't dare to do that. Besides, I can't bear to do that." When He Xiuji said this, his eyes were full of affection, which made Lin Yimu feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the person looking away uncomfortably, He Xiuji did not make any further moves. Instead, he stood up and said, "Sit here for a while. I'll go prepare toiletries for you." After that, he stood up with a smile on his face and walked towards a room.
Lin Yimu looked at He Xiuji's back, then turned around and took a closer look at the living room. He couldn't help but admire the good lighting in the house. He was also wondering when he could buy such a house in Beijing. Then he would be very satisfied.
So when He Xiuji came out with a set of toiletries, he saw Lin Yimu's admiring look and said with a smile: "Why, do you think my house is nice?"
Lin Yimu nodded in agreement after hearing what he said, and after taking the toiletries he handed over, he said, "It's pretty good. I want to buy a set for myself, but I don't know if I can afford it." As he spoke, he estimated in his mind the bonuses he had received in the past few years.
Seeing that Lin Yimu really wanted to do this, He Xiuji immediately suggested jokingly: "Since you like it, how about I give this house to you?"
Although He Xiuji said it jokingly, the seriousness in his eyes was genuine.
When Lin Yimu heard this, he frowned and shook his head in disapproval, "I said I want to buy it myself. I have nothing to do with you, and it's not like I can't afford it. How can I ask for your house?"
He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu's disapproval and even felt that he was a little unhappy at the moment, so he didn't mention it anymore. Instead, he said, "I know, my Xiaomu is so outstanding that there will be no problem. My suggestion just now was just a joke, but," At this point, He Xiuji suddenly looked at Lin Yimu's eyes with a serious expression, and continued with a sincere attitude: "I really don't like what you said that has nothing to do with me. I want to have a relationship with you, to be someone who can stand by you and stand in front of you the first time when you are in trouble."
He Xiuji solemnly and seriously expressed what he had been thinking all along, and held Lin Yimu's hands, which were holding toiletries on his legs, with his eyes full of expectation for an answer.
Lin Yimu looked at He Xiuji who was holding his hand in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed and confused. He didn't know how to respond to his feelings. He was not sure if he had as much affection as He Xiuji did for him, and he was afraid of letting him down.
He Xiuji stared straight into Lin Yimu's eyes, and saw the hesitation and helplessness in his eyes. The light of expectation in his eyes slowly dimmed, and the faint smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
After a long while, He Xiuji still didn't get Lin Yimu's answer. He forced a smile and pretended to be optimistic, "It's okay if you don't want to answer now. You can think about it slowly. It's already late today. Go wash up and rest first."
After saying that, He Xiuji pointed to the location of the guest room for Lin Yimu and was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, his hand was grabbed.
He Xiuji turned his head in surprise and looked along his arm at the sitting Lin Yimu, and a hint of anticipation rose in his heart, "Xiaomu?"
Lin Yimu pursed his lips and looked up at He Xiuji. Although he was still a little hesitant, he did not let go of his hand. Instead, he asked, "He Xiuji, what if I say that my feelings for you may not be that deep? Maybe one day, I will abandon you because I can't bear the outside world's discussions and strange eyes, or we will be apart more and more because of our work. In this case, do you still want to be with me?"
He Xiuji didn't hesitate at all when he heard this. After Lin Yimu finished speaking, his originally disappointed expression immediately showed a hint of expectation. He nodded and said, "Since I've spoken, it means I've thought about all the consequences. I won't give you the chance to abandon me."
He Xiuji said this seriously and forcefully, and the look he gave Lin Yimu was filled with determination, without any trace of the disappointment he had just shown. If he hadn't experienced it himself, Lin Yimu would have thought he was dazzled.
Lin Yimu glanced at He Xiuji suspiciously, and looked him up and down carefully, but didn't find anything wrong. He guessed that he really didn't think he would agree just now, so he was so happy now that he looked a little silly.
"Okay, I agree to be with you. But neither of us can guarantee what will happen in the future, so let's just try to date first, what if one day we both change our minds?" Although Lin Yimu agreed to be with He Xiuji, he still didn't have much hope for the future, so he gave the other party a heads-up in advance.
He Xiuji listened to Lin Yimu's somewhat hurtful words. Although he felt that he was worrying too much, he also knew that in the current social environment, not everyone would accept their relationship, so he did not refute anything. He just made up his mind again in his heart that he would never let Xiaomu have the chance to abandon him in this life, absolutely not.
After talking it out, the relationship between the two became very warm and harmonious, but the way they got along did not change much, except that He Xiuji's attitude towards Lin Yimu became more clingy.
Lin Yimu looked at He Xiuji, who had been sticking to him and holding his hand since they had talked, and felt helpless. He never expected that He Xiuji would be so clingy after falling in love. He thought that calling him and having dinner together frequently was already the limit.
However, even though he was complaining in his heart, Lin Yimu always had a smile on his face, which showed that he was in a very good mood.
When the two of them finally got enough of each other, Lin Yimu finally had time to wash up, but when he was about to go to bed, something unexpected happened again.
Lin Yimu had just finished washing up and was about to go back to the guest room to sleep, but before he could close the door, He Xiuji, who was wearing a bathrobe, blocked his door.
Lin Yimu looked at him with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
He Xiuji looked solemn for a while before he slowly said, "Can I sleep in the guest room with you tonight?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi Mu looked at him puzzledly and said, "Isn't your master bedroom empty? Why do you have to squeeze into the guest room with me? Besides, aren't we moving a little too fast?" As he spoke, Lin Yi Mu lowered his eyes in embarrassment, his ears a little red, not daring to look at the man in front of him who was emitting hormones.
He Xiuji's body stiffened for a moment when he heard that, but then he didn't know what he thought of and explained with a somewhat unpleasant expression on his face: "No, I don't mean to bully you. My master bedroom...is not habitable." When he said the last word "not habitable", He Xiuji's face turned a little dark.
When Lin Yimu heard what he said and looked at He Xiuji's dark face, he thought that he might have misunderstood him. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he was also really curious about what had happened to make He Xiuji's face so dark.
"What happened in your master bedroom? Why did you look so dark?"
He Xiuji hesitated for a while, and finally looked at Lin Yimu's curious expression, gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe the cleaning lady didn't clean it well, there is a beetle on my bed."
When Lin Yi Mu heard the reason given by He Xiu Ji, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong. Then, seeing his awkward expression, he showed a hint of disbelief and said, "You, you are actually afraid of that kind of little bugs? I can't tell at all." As he spoke, he smiled and walked around He Xiu Ji.
He Xiuji was already feeling a little embarrassed for telling Lin Yimu about this, and now seeing that he was looking at him in a state of surprise, he grabbed Lin Yimu and pressed him against the door behind him in annoyance. He lowered his head dangerously to look at the person in his arms, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Is it so funny?"
The moment He Xiuji pushed him against the door, Lin Yimu wisely stopped smiling, but he still looked at He Xiuji with a smile in his eyes. At this moment, He Xiuji's deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang in his ears, making Lin Yimu feel numb all over. His ears and cheeks also started to burn, and he stood there not daring to move.
He Xiuji looked at the small white ears in front of him, which turned red. A deep light flashed in his lowered eyes, and then he continued to say maliciously to Lin Yimu's ear: "Why don't you talk? In fact, I don't mind you continue to laugh at me, but..." At this point, He Xiuji's eyes darkened, turned his head and stared into Lin Yimu's eyes, and said word by word: "You may need to put out the fire later."
Lin Yimu felt the hot air blowing against his ears when He Xiuji was talking, which made his ears itchy and his body numb. He was a little unsteady on his feet, and the weight of his body was resting on the door behind him and He Xiuji's strong arms.
Hearing his words, he instinctively wanted to say something to ease his embarrassing situation, but when he looked up, he met He Xiuji's dark and deep eyes. These eyes, which used to be cold and indifferent, were now filled with Lin Yimu's face, making him involuntarily feel lost in them.
He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu, whose eyes were a little blurry, and a lewd smile appeared on his stern face. He said in a bewitching voice: "It turns out that Xiaomu's ears are so sensitive."
Lin Yimu came back to his senses after hearing the voice in his ear. He glared at He Xiuji with red cheeks. Just as he was about to reach out to push him away, he was grabbed by the wrist.
Looking at the wrist that was grabbed by He Xiuji's big hand, Lin Yimu glared at him angrily and said, "You are almost done, do you want to rest or not?"
He Xiuji looked at his expression, then he let go of his hand obediently and pretended to be innocent: "You were the one who laughed at me first, I just wanted to scare you. Don't be angry, if you don't go to sleep you will be late for class tomorrow." Then he reached out and pushed Lin Yimu into the room.
Lin Yimu glanced at the time. It was indeed very late, past twelve o'clock. Thinking that He Xiuji had to go to work tomorrow, Lin Yimu frowned anxiously and said in a very low voice, "You should come and rest too. The bed is big anyway. Don't delay work tomorrow."
After saying that, he didn't even look at He Xiuji. He just buried himself in the quilt and went to sleep.
He Xiuji smiled good-naturedly, took out a spare quilt from the cupboard and spread it next to Lin Yimu.
