Chapter 221 Willing to be Trapped

Shen Zhichu opened the car door and waited for Chu Xu to approach.

Looking at his tired and lifeless lover, Shen Zhichu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

What use is he if I can't even be with him when he is most helpless?

"I really want to see the sea." Chu Xu slowly closed his eyes and curled up in his seat.

Shen Zhichu started the car without hesitation: "You take a rest, I'll take you there."

When they arrived at the beach, Chu Xu got out of the car first, followed closely by Shen Zhichu.

Chu Xu looked at the endless sea and raised his lips: "Come and sit down."

The night sky by the sea is full of twinkling stars and a gentle moon, like a peaceful and beautiful picture that makes people intoxicated and reluctant to leave.

Shen Zhichu took Chu Xu's hand and said, "I know you are in pain. I will give you time to digest all this. I can wait."

Chu Xu smiled and held up Shen Zhichu's face: "You could have lived freely, but you were trapped by me and lived such a humble life."

"I am willing to be trapped by you." Shen Zhichu wanted to express his inner feelings urgently, but he was afraid that saying too much would be a burden to Chu Xu.

That cautious, prudent and humble look deeply hurt Chu Xu's heart.

Chu Xu gazed at the person in front of him affectionately, as if there were thousands of stars in his eyes.

He leaned forward and kissed the corner of Shen Zhichu's mouth: "Shen Zhichu, give it to me."

Suddenly, Shen Zhichu was stunned for a moment, and exhaled briefly and convulsively: "You..."

Chu Xu interrupted her before she could finish her words. His kiss was passionate, like a release and also like a supplement.

Shen Zhichu became active after a moment of passivity. Their passionate kiss was like a silent storm, erupting suddenly and violently, sweeping away their reason and emotions.

They bit each other's lips mercilessly, making each other's breathing quicken.

The whispers that escape from between the lips and teeth are like a call in the wind, intoxicating and unable to extricate oneself.

After starting the car, the two of them were even more unrestrained in their approach to each other.

…

Chu Xu's breath wet the car window, and his fingers slid down, leaving marks.

…

The stars alternate with day.

Shen Zhichu wiped away the tears from Chu Xu's eyes and smoothed out his hair.

No one knows how panicked he is at this moment. His lover is right in front of him, and he is holding her so tightly, but...but he always has the illusion that she is about to disappear.

The fishy smell of sea water is like a deep and rich salty aroma. It surges up like the tide, and brushes across the tip of the nose like delicate fingertips, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Chu Xu woke up in Shen Zhichu's arms. He gently rubbed his cheek and said, "Please send me home. My mother will be worried about me if I don't come back all night."

"Okay." The pain was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into Shen Zhichu's heart and messing up his thoughts.

Its existence made Shen Zhichu unable to ignore or escape, and he could only helplessly endure every pain and torture.

When they got home, they sat in tacit silence, neither of them wanting to break the peace.

Shen Zhichu looked at the marks on Chu Xu's neck and took his hand: "Chu Xu, no matter how long it takes you to recover, I can wait."

"So, don't deprive me of my right to wait."

Chu Xu lowered his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty: "I don't know why, but I suddenly want to eat the lotus cake from the old city."

"Hibiscus cake? Did I buy it for you when you were a kid?"

Chu Xu hummed softly, "I wonder which stores are still open."

"I'll buy it for you. I will definitely buy it for you." Shen Zhichu took Chu Xu's hand and kissed it gently, "Wait for me, okay?"

"But it's a bit far..."

"It's okay, I'll be back soon, you go home and have a good rest."

"good."

After opening the car door, Chu Xu hesitated for a moment, turned around and kissed the corner of Shen Zhichu's mouth: "Don't be too anxious, pay attention to safety."

Shen Zhichu nodded, feeling Chu Xu's hand slowly slipping away from his palm.

His fingertips twitched, grasping a trace of Chu Xu's remaining breath.

Chu Xu waved his hand and walked into the house.

Shen Zhichu didn't hesitate, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

Chu Xu came out, staring at the vehicles going away, tears streaming down his face.

Lin Yan and his group were about to leave, so a few people got together in the evening.

Several people did not have their former spirits, and everyone was heavy-hearted.

"You think Chu Xu will be unable to get over it for the rest of his life?" Zhuo Chengze said without thinking, and then curled his lips, "Then Shen Zhichu will be a bachelor for the rest of his life, right?"

Gu Yanchi rubbed his brows and asked, "What can you do?"

Zhuo Chengze sighed: "I wish I had one. In the past, I felt bad when I saw you and Lin Du in pain."

"Now I am suffering with them. What kind of fate do you think I have?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Nishi subconsciously held Lin Du's hand tightly, secretly feeling lucky that he did not miss Lin Du.

"Oh! Love matters are so troublesome." Gu Tian sighed.

Lin Yan embraced Ji Shen and stroked his shoulders: "We will go back tomorrow. Shen Zhichu will still need you two to take care of him."

The phone rang, it was Shen Zhichu.

Gu Yanshi frowned, his face gloomy: "You said Chu Xu is missing?"

Lin Du was startled and subconsciously grabbed Gu Xinchi's arm.

He lowered his eyes like a child who had done something wrong.

Gu Yanchi glanced sideways, tapped the back of Lin Du's hand, and whispered in his ear, "It's okay, I'm here."

Ji Shen pursed his lips and noticed something was wrong with Lin Du.

"What does it mean that Chu Xu is missing? How could such a big person go missing?" Gu Tian wondered.

"The Chu family's door is closed. Chu Xu, his mother, and his grandfather have already left." Gu Nichi frowned, "He couldn't contact Chu Xu."

"Arrange someone to check." Lin Yan frowned, "We'll find it eventually."

"Don't check!" Lin Du stood up suddenly and clenched his fists. "Don't check, let him go..."

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Du, and Gu Yanchi stood up and held him in his arms.

"No, Lin Du, what do you mean?" Zhuo Chengze was puzzled. "Do you know what Chu Xu's disappearance means to Shen Zhichu?"

"He did so much just for Chu Xu. If he leaves, Shen Zhichu will go crazy."

"I know, but...but if Chu Xu doesn't leave, he will die." Lin Du pinched his fingers so hard that they hurt. "Don't force him, please."

Zhuo Chengze stood up and wanted to refute, but after seeing Gu Nichi's warning look, he swallowed his emotions.

Ji Shen sighed: "They are all adults, they know what they are doing, we should not interfere."

Lin Yan frowned, but had to agree with Ji Shen's words.

Shen Zhichu stood alone by the sea, he didn't understand why the woman disappeared suddenly when she had clearly said she would wait for him.

He kissed me before he left. What was that? Compensation?

Why doesn't he even give himself the chance to wait? Doesn't his heart really hurt?
