Chapter 55: Becoming a Husband (End of Text)
Three days later, Xie Ting received an invitation from Hu Yaqin for her birthday, which was on Saturday. Xie Ting discussed with Chu Chenghuan about taking driving lessons during the day and going out for dinner in the evening. Chu Chenghuan refused: "No, you didn't invite me."
Xie Ting didn't expect Chu Chenghuan to care about this. "Then inviting me is also inviting you."
Chu Chenghuan changed his words again: "Then go."
Xie Ting sat in the chair, staring at Chu Chenghuan who was doing his homework on the computer, and said thoughtfully, "You don't just want to hear me say a few words, do you?"
Chu Chenghuan raised the corner of his lips and hummed very honestly.
Xie Ting: “…”
Xie Ting's ears turned red, and he ran to the next dormitory with his mobile phone to chat with someone to relieve his abnormal emotions!
On Saturday, Hu Yaqin's birthday, Xie Ting finally saw Tong Hao and Lin Tang, as well as several girls from his high school class. Lin Tang excitedly pulled Xie Ting aside and said a bunch of nice things to him.
For example, “My classmates in college are not as good as you” and “Tingting, you are indeed the best.”
Chu Chenghuan's face darkened.
Again! Before he recovered, this straight man was being so careless with Xie Ting, calling her "Tingting" and sleeping in the same bed. He was jealous. Now that he's recovered his memory, he's even more jealous.
Chu Chenghuan calmly walked between the two men and glanced at Xie Ting with a warning look. Xie Ting smiled sweetly at Chu Chenghuan without a care in the world, and continued to chat with Lin Tang, "It's my fault. I haven't been in touch with you more often. Come to my house during winter vacation."
Lin Tang showed his big white teeth, "Come to my house and play, my dad cooks very delicious food."
Xie Ting licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Sure!"
Chu Chenghuan:.
Chu Chenghuan only received a perfunctory response from Xie Ting. It was Hu Yaqin who sensed something was wrong and quickly came over to stop Xie Ting and Lin Tang's friendly exchange. After finding an excuse to send Lin Tang away, Hu Yaqin pulled Xie Ting aside and whispered, "You have to take better care of Chu Chenghuan. Why are you chatting with others? What about Chu Chenghuan?"
Xie Ting:?
Xie Ting glanced at Chu Chenghuan beside him inexplicably, and was even more confused. "What do you mean? Chu Chenghuan is not a social phobia."
"That's lonely too. You have to keep him company. Lin Tang and Tong Hao are there to talk to. Chu Chenghuan only has you. Look, he's so bored that he's playing with his phone."
Xie Ting scratched his face. Why did he look like a scumbag who abandoned his girlfriend?
Xie Ting could only nod to the birthday girl, Hu Yaqin, and then ran to find Chu Chenghuan. When Chu Chenghuan was swiping his phone, Xie Ting also went over. Chu Chenghuan did not avoid Xie Ting, and when Xie Ting looked over, he saw a Candy Crush game.
Xie Ting frowned: "Are you bored?"
Chu Chenghuan hummed, expressionless, "You're not accompanying me, what can I do?"
Xie Ting felt guilty.
Xie Ting now stays by Chu Chenghuan's side. After a round of Candy Crush ends, Xie Ting directly quits Chu Chenghuan's game and says, "I'm here with you."
Chu Chenghuan then put away his phone, the corners of his lips curled up.
There were candles on the cake, and the lights in the house were off, with only the candles on the cake flickering faintly. Hu Yaqin stood in front of the cake with her eyes closed and her hands clasped together, making a pious wish: "I hope the couple I support can be together."
Xie Ting's eyes twitched, but he endured it until Hu Yaqin blew out the candles and turned on the lights in the house. After Hu Yaqin divided the cake, Xie Ting finished a piece of cake in two bites. Then he said to Chu Chenghuan, "Don't play Candy Crush in secret. I have something important to tell Hu Yaqin. I'll be back soon."
This time, Chu Chenghuan nodded understandingly and didn't follow.
Hu Yaqin was eating cake with her best friend. When Xie Ting came over, he didn't avoid Hu Yaqin's little sister and said directly: "If you say it out loud, the wish will not come true. Why did you say it directly?"
Hu Yaqin smiled and said, "Tong Hao suggested that I express my wish. There is a high probability that it will come true."
Hu Yaqin's little sister beside him also gave Xie Ting a mysterious smile.
Xie Ting:?
Xie Ting remained serious: "He lied to you. If you tell it out loud, your CP will be ruined."
Hu Yaqin was about to retort when Chu Chenghuan walked over to Xie Ting and handed him the cake with a bite missing from the corner. "It's too sweet."
Hu Yaqin stopped talking and looked at the two of them with bright eyes.
Xie Ting immediately took it with a smile, "I'll help!"
As she spoke, she scooped a spoonful of food into her mouth. She clearly saw that the piece that Xie Ting had dug out had a gap in it. It was... the piece that Chu Chenghuan had dug out before!
A spoon is a spoon!
Hu Yaqin excitedly said: "No way, I think my wish is coming true!"
Xie Ting frowned. Compared to Hu Yaqin's excitement, Xie Ting was unusually calm. "Don't disbelieve it, this kind of CP is definitely fake."
Hu Yaqin shook her head: "I don't believe it!"
Xie Ting also shook his head and was about to say something when he heard Tong Hao say, "There is another piece of cake, who wants it?"
"I want it!" Xie Ting ran away happily.
After Xie Ting left, only Chu Chenghuan, Hu Yaqin, and Hu Yaqin's sister were left. Hu Yaqin and Chu Chenghuan were indeed not familiar with each other. In the three years of high school, they had exchanged no more than ten sentences, and those ten sentences were all related to Xie Ting. Now, Hu Yaqin finally mustered up the courage to question Chu Chenghuan, who was about to turn around and leave to find Xie Ting.
"Will you, you and Xie Ting have a common future?" Hu Yaqin asked directly and obscurely.
Chu Chenghuan raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded under Hu Yaqin's expectant gaze.
Hu Yaqin was so excited that she almost fainted!
Tong Hao, you really didn’t lie to her!
Xie Ting was unaware of this incident and felt full after taking only one bite of the last piece of cake. He was now discussing with Tong Hao about cutting off his portion so that Tong could enjoy the rest.
Tong Hao waved his hand, "I can't eat anymore, can't you give it to Chu Chenghuan?"
Xie Ting was thinking about Chu Chenghuan, "Chu Chenghuan doesn't like sweets, and I'm going to eat his! How about we split it in half?"
Tong Hao didn't agree: "No, I'm gay, I can't eat a piece of cake with you. Look, Chu Chenghuan is here, can you talk to him and ask him to split it in half?"
Xie Ting turned his head and saw Chu Chenghuan again.
Xie Ting felt a little embarrassed holding the cake, and tried to cover his eyes with the cake to deceive himself.
"I ate too much." The voice was muffled.
Chu Chenghuan reached out and rubbed Xie Ting's head, then took the plate from Xie Ting's hand. Just as Xie Ting was moved by Chu Chenghuan and wanted to help him eat the cake, Chu Chenghuan had already turned around and said mercilessly, "I'll pack it up and bring it back for you as a midnight snack, so you don't have to look at your phone at night and try to order takeout, but it doesn't deliver."
Xie Ting: “…” Bai was moved.
Although Chu Chenghuan was moved in vain, his action was indeed very correct. After returning to the dormitory at night, Xie Ting was hungry before eleven o'clock. When he was hungry, the cake was very delicious.
Xie Ting manually gave Chu Chenghuan a thumbs up.
Chu Chenghuan just kept urging Xie Ting to rest early. If Xie Ting didn't rest, Xie Ting would have to wait until the cake was digested before going to bed. If the cake was digested, he wouldn't gain weight, Xie Ting thought with peace of mind.
An hour later, Xie Ting took the initiative to get into Chu Chenghuan's bed, leaned over and kissed Chu Chenghuan on the side of his face, and said calmly: "Repay the debt."
But this time, Chu Chenghuan put his arm around Xie Ting's waist, and after the kiss, Xie Ting was forced to lie on Chu Chenghuan with an arm around his waist.
Xie Ting:?
"What for?" Xie Ting asked fiercely.
Chu Chenghuan said seriously: "Today's labor is exchanged for a kiss."
Xie Ting:!
Xie Ting's face flushed immediately, and he quickly refused, not daring to raise his head, and his voice began to stutter: "It's too fast! We are not a couple yet!"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Ting was pressed down by Chu Chenghuan again, and his handsome face was infinitely enlarged in front of Xie Ting. Xie Ting didn't even know how to breathe. He only heard Chu Chenghuan say hoarsely: "It doesn't matter. Although you don't treat me as your husband, I treat you as my wife. I kiss mine, and you don't need to respond."
Xie Ting:!
Xie Ting's breathing became even more unstable. How could it be calculated like this? And didn't he say before that he had a husband?!
Xie Ting didn't know how to refute at all, or rather, Chu Chenghuan didn't give him time to refute at all. The soft touch covered his lips, and Xie Ting's eyes widened, and his tongue penetrated him when he was off guard.
It was a very gentle yet slow kiss.
Xie Ting was kissed until he was completely exhausted, but he didn't resist much. Even after the kiss, his brain was still swollen with excitement. Chu Chenghuan still hugged Xie Ting tightly, whispering his love in Xie Ting's ear, "Tingting, I love you so much."
Xie Ting's heartbeat quickened, and his vision blurred, yet his mind remained clear. He knew what he was doing. He had kissed Chu Chenghuan, and he hadn't resisted.
Chu Chenghuan said he liked him. Of course he knew Chu Chenghuan liked him. He liked him in his previous life and died with him, but he didn't like Chu Chenghuan in his previous life.
But in this life... he seemed to have really fallen in love with Chu Chenghuan. It wasn't just a trial love, but he really fell in love with him. Xie Ting knew that if he really wanted to reject Chu Chenghuan, he would definitely not be in Chu Chenghuan's bed now.
In their previous life, they'd only been together for a month, so he didn't know Chu Chenghuan well enough. In this life, after eighteen years together, their bond had grown deep. Chu Chenghuan, while unpleasant to the ear, was incredibly kind and handsome. If someone like that liked him, he—he wasn't some idiot, so he was bound to be moved!
He might have already been in love with her, but he didn't want to think about it because he was afraid of Chu Chenghuan in his previous life. He always thought that when Chu Chenghuan regained his memory, he would become a big villain, so he was always afraid of Chu Chenghuan regaining his memory. But Chu Chenghuan is Chu Chenghuan! Even if he regained his memory, he would still be Chu Chenghuan.
"Tingting, do you like me?" Chu Chenghuan's almost whispering voice in his ear brought Xie Ting's thoughts back to reality.
Xie Ting's heart was pounding.
He likes it.
It's just that, having been a straight man for two lifetimes, he couldn't quite bring himself to say it. He really had that straight-man baggage! No, he didn't have that baggage! Xie Ting gritted his teeth, ignoring the warm breath beside his ear, gritted his teeth, and finally overcame himself, admitting, "I like it."
The next second, Xie Ting didn't even have a clear look at Cheng Huan's face before his mouth was blocked again.
This time the kiss was not gentle, as if he was going to be eaten alive. His tongue was even numb from the kiss. Xie Ting was not one to let himself be wronged, so he pushed Chu Chenghuan.
Chu Chenghuan only let go a little, his eyes filled with infinite affection. Xie Ting was burned and hurriedly avoided his gaze, stuttering: "We can talk, we can have a relationship, but I won't be your wife."
Chu Chenghuan:?
Chu Chenghuan pinched Xie Ting's chin, forcing Xie Ting to look him in the eye. His voice was low and dangerous: "Didn't you say you would be my wife?"
Xie Ting closed his eyes and shouted, "Because I want to be your husband!"
Chu Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, let go of Xie Ting's chin, and deliberately shouted in Xie Ting's ear: "That's fine, Tingting husband."
Xie Ting's ears burned at the teasing, but he puffed out his chest. A stubborn, straight man like him deserved to be a husband. A husband's duty was to coax his wife. He had coaxed Chu Chenghuan plenty. Chu Chenghuan, this naturally gay man prone to anger, deserved to be his wife.
"Well, good night, my wife." Xie Ting responded by calling Chu Chenghuan "husband" and teased Chu Chenghuan like Chu Chenghuan did.
But Chu Chenghuan likes it very much.
Husband or wife was just a title to him, as long as Xie Ting was his. But now, Xie Ting was his.
He had to slowly and step by step make Xie Ting completely his.
