Chapter 57 I’m Afraid You Don’t Want Me
"Why don't you rest in your room?" Chi Changyuan hugged Han Zhi and said softly.
Han Zhi said subconsciously: "I'm scared there."
"Afraid?" Chi Changyuan was puzzled: "Afraid of what?"
Han Zhi hugged him and whispered, "I'm afraid you don't want me anymore."
Chi Changyuan's arms suddenly tightened, holding Han Zhi even tighter in his embrace. His fingertips gently stroked the soft hair on the back of Han Zhi's neck. His voice was a little deeper than before: "How is that possible? Even if you don't want me, it's you who doesn't want me."
Han Zhi buried himself in his arms, his fingertips gripping his clothes loosened a little, but he was still sullen: "How could I not want you..."
Chi Changyuan laughed and pinched his chin to make him look up, with helplessness and tenderness in his eyes: "Did you say that?"
Han Zhi raised his head as he pinched his chin. There was still a little moisture at the corners of his eyes, but he nodded vigorously, as if afraid that he didn't believe him: "I said it! I will never abandon you in this life."
Chi Changyuan looked at his serious yet slightly aggrieved expression, his heart softening. He lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his red eyes, his voice becoming even softer: "Then what are you afraid of?" His thumb gently rubbed the soft flesh under Han Zhi's chin, "I will always keep a place for you here. Unless you leave on your own, no one can take you away from me."
Han Zhi stared at the tenderness in his eyes. The uneasiness that had been pent up in his heart seemed to be melted away by warm water. His fingertips slowly loosened his clothes and hooked his belt instead, muttering softly: "Then why did you ask me to leave just now..."
Chi Changyuan chuckled softly, pulling the man closer to him, resting his chin on the top of his head. "You're injured, and I'm worried you'll feel uncomfortable, so I asked you to go back and rest. Are you still not happy?"
"Everything is fine now..."
Although Han Zhi didn't remember, he also heard Chi Changyuan talk about what happened in the past few days. He has a good ability to heal himself, and those injuries are not as bad as his father's...
Thinking of this, he carefully glanced at Leng Baibai who was standing not far away.
Even though Chi Changyuan told him about his parents' current attitude towards him, he was still afraid of his father.
"Alright..." Leng Baibai felt a little uncomfortable: "Looking at me like that makes me look like I'm some villain who's trying to break you up."
Burning Embers: "..."
What if he scolds someone again?
Fen Jin: "Okay, let's get back to the topic. It's good that Han Zhi is here."
He said, "There's something I forgot to mention. It was Mu Qingyang who told me about the Red Moon Grass."
After he finished speaking, he walked away without even looking at Leng Baibai's expression.
The discomfort on Leng Baibai's face froze instantly, his brows suddenly furrowed, and when he looked at Fenjin's departing back, his eyes became more serious.
Mu Qingyang?
She had always been at odds with Fen Jin, so why would she take the initiative to tell Fen Jin about the Red Moon Grass...
"It seems neither you nor I understand her." The Water God suddenly chuckled twice. "I thought she loved you so much, but it turns out that the Red Moon Grass could save your son, and she would rather tell Fen Jin than you."
Leng Baibai: “…”
"Not necessarily," the Water God continued, "maybe she feels sorry for you. Seeing that you lost your son, she's so kind-hearted that she wants to make amends."
"It doesn't matter what others say, do you believe it?"
Don't they both know that Mu Qingyang is not a good person?
Even when he sent Han Zhi away, he was actually aware that it was a deliberate frame-up.
Firstly, he didn't want to argue with Mu Qingyang over such a small matter. Secondly, sending him to Jin Country would also prevent Mu Qingyang from having to think about how to deal with Han Zhi every day.
Han Zhi was carried all the way back to the room by Chi Changyuan. As soon as he was thrown onto the bed, he was turned over. Chi Changyuan slapped him on the butt a few times in annoyance.
Han Zhi was stunned by the sudden force, and his waist subconsciously shrank into the bed, and his fair cheeks turned red instantly.
Chi Changyuan leaned over and held down his restless waist, his fingertips still touching the place where he had just hit him, gently rubbing it, his tone still carrying a hint of anger: "What are you doing? I want to teach you a lesson." He lowered his head to look at the red tips of Han Zhi's ears, and his voice became deeper. "You knew your injury had just healed, but you still dared to stay outside for so long? If you get cold and tired again, I will punish you."
"Then why did you hit me..."
Han Zhi's eyes were red, like a little rabbit, and he felt a little hot on his butt. He simply buried his face in the pillow and said in a muffled voice: "I know..."
Chi Changyuan thought he knew he was wrong, but Han Zhi asked, "You like this, don't you?"
Chi Changyuan's fingertips suddenly touched the warm skin, and his breath hitched a beat. He looked down at Han Zhi, who was buried in the pillow, only the red tips of his ears showing. He felt angry and amused at the same time. His fingertips gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "What are you thinking about?"
Han Zhi shrank back when he was pinched, but he didn't turn around. His voice was even softer because it was wrapped in the pillow: "Why else would you... hit me there..."
"I..." Chi Changyuan's Adam's apple rolled. It was undeniable that he was not very gentle in that aspect.
"It's okay." Han Zhi said. He stretched out his hand and placed Chi Changyuan's hand on his buttocks. That place was warm from being hit just now, and Chi Changyuan's heart moved.
"I'm not afraid of pain, I'm just afraid that you won't want me."
"Even if you don't do this, I won't abandon you." Chi Changyuan sighed: "Just now, it wasn't..."
"Then just think of it as me trying to cheer you up." Han Zhi closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "Go ahead and hit me."
Chi Changyuan's hands froze in place. The warm touch beneath his fingertips felt like a fire, burning his heart with a soft and bitter feeling. He leaned over, resting his chin on the crook of Han Zhi's neck, his voice hoarse, "Are you stupid? Am I worth this?"
He seemed to see the Han Zhi of the past, also so obedient.
He brought the man closer to his arms, and let Han Zhi turn over to face him. Looking at his tightly closed eyes with red at the corners, he pinched his cheek helplessly and distressedly, "Open your eyes and look at me."
Han Zhi slowly opened his eyes, still damp, but he looked at him obediently. Chi Changyuan gently brushed the moisture under his eyes with his thumb, and said softly, "You don't remember anything now. When you remember... we'll talk later."
Han Zhi suddenly kissed her.
"*(a plant) me."
His eyes sparkled, and he looked at me seriously: "I don't know what I'll think about it later, I just know that I just want to be with you now."
Chi Changyuan froze, his thumb, which had been grazing his eye, paused mid-air, and even his breathing slowed. Han Zhi's kiss was light, a bit awkward and reckless, but it was like a small stone that hit the lake of his heart unexpectedly, spreading a circle of tenderness.
He quickly came back to his senses and took the initiative to deepen the kiss, his fingertips clasping Han Zhi's neck and pulling him tighter into his arms. He didn't let go until Han Zhi's breathing trembled and he gently pushed him away, forehead against forehead, his voice hoarse enough to drip water: "Do you know what you are saying?"
