Chapter 44 Chapter 44 This confession is a complete failure
Pei Shuyu covered his hand that was slapped away, and felt a little angry.
Being constantly interrupted and misinterpreted, who wouldn't be angry? Why can't you just listen to what others are saying? What are you so afraid of?
He grabbed Lu Hean's hand and pressed him into position. "What nonsense are you talking about? How did I abandon you? I just joked about you being my cousin before, and you didn't deny it then. You even called me cousin. Let's not talk about that now. I just want to tell you that we should end this ambiguous relationship. I..."
Lu Hean became excited again at the mention of this, interrupting Pei Shuyu's speech, "It's over, then what? Then I watched you go find your omega, I watched you two being affectionate, right? You just asked me if I was free to go back to the orphanage with you... I thought..."
So Pei Shuyu was serious when he just said he didn't mean anything else?!
He seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously, "Is it because I said I don't have time these days? So you want to replace me?"
What the hell is going on? Pei Shuyu really wanted to open Lu Hean's brain to see what was inside. Why didn't he realize that Lu Hean was also a crazy person with imagination before?
Can he finish what he said?
But seeing Lu Hean's aggrieved look, the little flame in his heart was extinguished again.
Okay, okay, maybe Lu Hean has been too tired recently, so he has too many random thoughts.
If he continued to think about it, he might stray into outer space. He took a deep breath and said, "Lu Hean, let's try to have a normal relationship."
Lu Hean was in a state of confusion and could not hear anything. He was completely convinced that Pei Shuyu was trying to distance himself from him, and continued, "Don't even think about it..."
Pei Shuyu: “…”
Lu Hean: “!”
This awkward confession ruined the whole thing.
No, this is not a confession. Pei Shuyu unilaterally denies it.
Fu Zhouxing and Xiao Qingyang didn't come back the whole afternoon.
Lu Hean kept clutching Pei Shuyu's hand, crying about how tiring the training had been. Upon returning to school, his roommates repeatedly questioned him about whether he had found a cousin to deceive them.
"Brother Shuyu, you don't know, they all suspect us..."
Someone even tried to wipe away the non-existent crocodile tears from the corners of his eyes. Pei Shuyu watched him act with a calm mind.
Not only was Lu Hean's acting shoddy, but his attitude was also unprofessional. He was originally performing in his own seat, but then he slowly moved over to Pei Shuyu and started to make advances.
Sometimes she would touch Pei Shuyu's hair, sometimes she would pinch his fingers. Anyway, she was always busy and would even use the excuse of helping him to straighten his collar to reach inside his clothes.
Pei Shuyu couldn't sit still anymore and grabbed his hand out, "Behave yourself, this is inside the dormitory."
Although the dormitory door was locked, it could still be opened from the outside with a key. If someone saw it, Lu Hean would be shameless, but he still wanted it.
"Who told you to ignore me..." Lu Hean blinked and started to act like a spoiled child, "I just can't stay still."
Seeing Pei Shuyu still silent, he asked hesitantly, "Brother Shuyu, were you telling the truth just now? You're not trying to put me off because you think I'm annoying, are you?"
Pei Shuyu turned around and flicked his forehead. "You know you're annoying? It's fake, it's all fake, don't believe it."
Lu Hean covered his forehead, which had been hit by the bullet. Instead of flinching, his eyes lit up, the corners of his eyes tilted upwards, and he couldn't hide his joy. He grabbed Pei Shuyu's hand, which hadn't been retracted yet, and held it tightly in his palm, rubbing it restlessly with his fingertips.
"I'd believe it even if it's fake." He said cheerfully, squeezing closer to Pei Shuyu, his knee against his leg, his warm breath almost completely enveloping him. "I take every word Brother Shuyu says seriously."
Pei Shuyu was annoyed by his clinginess and tried to pull his hand back, but was held even tighter.
Lu Hean's fingertips felt like they were carrying tiny electric currents, and wherever they touched his skin, there was an indescribable tingling sensation. His ears began to heat up uncontrollably again, and he could only feign seriousness and frown, "Let go, let go, it's so hot."
"No." Lu Hean became more and more demanding. Not only did he not let go, but he also pulled Pei Shuyu's hand to his leg and squeezed his ten fingers forcefully into his fingers, holding them tightly together, forming a tight interlocking of ten fingers.
"My hands are cold, let me cool you down." He tilted his head and smiled innocently, as if he was doing something very serious.
Pei Shuyu: “…”
It's not cold at all. It's only warm because I hold his hand.
Pei Shuyu looked at their clasped hands, and he suddenly remembered that night... Lu Hean's fingers were long and strong, completely wrapping around his, and where their palms touched, he could feel the other's hot body temperature and slightly damp sweat.
A strange, tingling sensation spread from the intertwined fingertips all the way to the top of his heart, causing his heart to skip a beat.
He pursed his lips and finally stopped struggling. He just looked away, his Adam's apple rolling unnaturally, tacitly accepting this overly intimate entanglement.
All of this indulgence shows one fact: Pei Shuyu, you are finished...
Lu Hean smiled triumphantly, like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
He sighed contentedly, leaning his body, and leaning most of his weight on Pei Shuyu, his head naturally resting on Pei Shuyu's shoulder. His soft black hair rubbed against Pei Shuyu's neck and jaw, bringing waves of subtle itchiness.
"Brother Shuyu..." His voice was muffled in Pei Shuyu's shoulder, full of dependence and fatigue, and a little bit of coquettishness. "I'm really tired these past few days... During training, I was in charge of leading the team, but those people didn't listen to me at all and always gave me all kinds of trouble. Fortunately, I was the one leading the team, so we could complete the mission."
He began to complain again, pouring out all the grievances he had suffered, as if all those hardships had become a reason for him to rely on the people around him at this moment.
Pei Shuyu's body stiffened for a moment, feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders and the warm breath on his neck, but he didn't push away. He even subconsciously adjusted his sitting position to make Lu Hean lean more comfortably.
Listening to the humming and tired complaints in his ears, he did not feel any impatience in his heart.
The air was quiet, with only the faint sound of the wind outside the window and Lu Hean's breathing close by. The sun shone through the window, casting a warm spot of light on the floor, enveloping the two people who were leaning against each other.
The weather is not hot and the sunshine is very comfortable.
Lu Hean seemed truly exhausted. As he spoke, his voice gradually faded, becoming a vague muttering. But he never loosened his grip on Pei Shuyu's hand, even unconsciously tightening it a little.
Pei Shuyu lowered his eyes, looked at the furry head resting on his shoulder, and looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes. The last bit of awkwardness in his heart disappeared.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his other free hand very slowly and tentatively, and finally gently placed it on the top of Lu Hean's soft head, stroking it awkwardly, one by one, like soothing a large dog that had finally found a home.
The movements were gentle, with a tenderness that he himself was not aware of.
At that moment, the small dormitory space seemed to be filled with a silent warmth. Only the heartbeats and breathing of each other remained, blending little by little in the quiet air, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
"Bang!"
"Hahaha! I'm back!"
The dormitory door was pushed open with force, and Yu Wei appeared at the door with bags and open arms.
Pei Shuyu instantly jumped up and shot, accidentally knocking over his own glass. The glass was empty and light, gurgling and rolling on the table.
Lu Hean, who was standing by, had no support and his body tilted. He only managed to avoid falling to the ground by instinctively extending one leg.
After this scare, all my sleepiness disappeared.
"Brother Pei? Cousin? Why are there only two of you in the dormitory?" Yu Wei put down his luggage. He was very calm and didn't notice anything unusual. He pulled a child out from the back and patted his head, "Yu Zicen, come here, call me brother."
The child jumped out brightly and said in a crisp voice, "Hello, Brother Shuyu!"
This child is really cute and not afraid of people at all.
Pei Shuyu lifted the cup and smiled back, "Hello, hello. This is your brother, right? How old is he?"
Without any help from WeChat, the child answered by himself: "10 years old!"
Yu Wei burst out laughing: "Hahahaha."
Pei Shuyu thought he was adorable, so he walked over and pinched his cheeks twice. It was chubby. He didn't even use much pressure, but he felt the touch was quite pleasant, and couldn't help but pinch it with his other hand. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Children's skin is so good! It feels so smooth!"
Lu Hean came over and took Pei Shuyu's hand away. He then took over and poked the child's face, then his own. Then his brows furrowed and his mouth pursed.
Pei Shuyu knew what he was thinking at a glance, "Hey! That's enough."
"Brother Shuyu really understands me." Lu Hean leaned against Pei Shuyu again, imitating the child's tone. This made Pei Shuyu feel nauseous and he smiled awkwardly at Yu Wei.
Yu Wei watched them display their affection, tutted twice, and carried her luggage into the house. She turned around and saw her silly brother still standing there, looking at the two of them being so affectionate, and called out, "Yu Zicen, stop looking, come in."
Pei Shuyu pushed Lu Hean and made way for others, and Yu Zicen came in skipping and jumping.
After chatting for a while, Lu Hean, seeing that it was getting late, offered to go back to school. Pei Shuyu stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."
Passing by Sevan's training ground, there were a few shadowy figures training.
Pei Shuyu chose the path through the woods, where there were few people and it was quiet. Lu Hean followed closely behind him, trying to reach Pei Shuyu's hand several times but failing.
Just when he was about to give up, Pei Shuyu stopped, stretched out his left little finger, and hooked it with his little finger.
The moment their fingertips touched, Lu Hean's fingers trembled slightly. Then, without hesitation, he hooked the little finger that had reached out, tightening his grip as if he had grasped some rare treasure.
The shadows of the trees swayed in the dim light, and each other's expressions were blurred. Only the warmth and touch from the fingertips were extremely real.
Without further words, the two of them walked one after the other, fingers hooked, quietly finishing the last stretch of the grove.
When they reached the gate, the neon lights began to illuminate the two of them. Pei Shuyu calmly released her hand, but the warmth that remained on her fingertips lingered for a long time.
He coughed lightly and looked away: "Just send it here, you go back by yourself... Be careful."
Lu Hean looked at him, pretending to be calm but with his ears red, and the smile in his eyes was so deep that it couldn't be dispelled. He took a half step closer and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, with a hint of coquettishness and pride: "Brother Shuyu, I will miss you."
Pei Shuyu's face grew hotter, and he nodded randomly, hardly daring to look him in the eye, fearing the surging emotions within would overwhelm him. "Let's go," he urged.
Lu Hean finally felt satisfied and walked away, looking back every few steps. Only when the figure completely disappeared did Pei Shuyu slowly breathe a sigh of relief and raised his hand to touch his burning cheek.
But my heart was beating wildly in my chest like a drum, hitting the surging throbbing that had just been confirmed.
He stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around. Instead of returning to the dormitory, he quickly walked towards the training ground. At first he just walked, then his pace got faster and faster, and finally he was almost running.
The playground was empty at night, with only a few lonely lights illuminating the runway.
Yu Zicen leaned against the window of his dormitory, where he could see the entire plastic track. He watched a dark figure running around and around the track.
"Wow! Brother, you guys are still training so late?"
"Who?! Who is so introverted? Introversion is not advisable! Don't learn from it!"
“…”
The night wind blew past my ears, but it couldn't blow away the scorching heat in my heart that was almost about to burst out.
All the scenes he had experienced with Lu Hean flashed wildly in Pei Shuyu's mind.
His heart was beating violently from running and intense emotions, and his lungs were burning with pain, but he was completely unaware. He just wanted to vent the strange and ecstatic emotions that were almost overflowing through this extreme physical exertion.
After more than a dozen laps, his training suit was already soaked with sweat, and his hair was wet and stuck to his forehead. He supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently.
The extreme fatigue finally suppressed the overly turbulent excitement, and replaced it with a kind of exhaustion and indescribable sense of fulfillment after a hearty experience.
He raised his head, looked at the deep night sky of Sevan, and slowly exhaled a long breath, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little bit.
When Pei Shuyu dragged his almost broken body back to the dormitory and came out of the shower with his hair still dripping with water, he heard Yu Wei's loud voice yelling.
"...So, it's suddenly moved up! It's causing a huge commotion!" Yu Wei complained to Xiao Qingyang, who was reading a book beside her, while peeling an orange for her brother. "I heard the invitations have been reprinted urgently, and many people's schedules have had to be rescheduled."
Fu Zhouxing pushed his glasses and said calmly, "After all, this is a direct notice from the alliance's top management, so they must have their considerations. We just need to prepare according to the requirements. Where's Pei Shuyu? Why isn't he here?"
"Don't know? He said he was going to see his cousin's boyfriend off..." Yu Wei stuffed the orange into his eagerly-eyed brother's hand. "He hasn't come back yet? Hey, Brother Pei, you're back?" He noticed Pei Shuyu coming out drying his hair. "So you went to take a shower."
Cousin’s boyfriend...Yu Wei also learned bad things from Xiao Qingyang.
Pei Shuyu replied vaguely, "I ran for a while." He walked to his desk, picked up his water glass, and asked casually, "What did you say just now... early?"
"Oh! That charity dinner!" Yu Wei immediately perked up. "It was originally scheduled for next month, but it was suddenly moved forward to next week! They said it was to coincide with some important agenda, and now it's all a mess."
Pei Shuyu paused while wiping his hair.
Charity dinner? Early?
