Chapter 71 Occupying my bed and taking my pillow
Han Jianye had a meeting in the city to attend in the evening. Before leaving, he specifically reminded Ye Bai not to forget to take Yuanbao out for a walk after get off work, so as to prevent the dog at home from feeling lonely and depressed.
As soon as Ye Bai got off work, he followed Han Jianye's instructions, thinking that Han Jianye would not be back for at least two or three hours.
After taking Yuanbao for a walk in the community garden, he stopped by the fruit shop and bought a box of fresh strawberries and a box of cherries to take home.
Han Jianye felt bored in the car, so he turned on his phone to check the surveillance video of his living room.
The scene that appeared on the screen made him smile: Ye Bai and Yuanbao, a man and a dog, were sitting side by side on the sofa, watching the high-definition movie played on the projector intently.
There were two plates of washed fruits on the coffee table. Ye Bai took a bite of the tip of the strawberry naturally, then handed the strawberry butt to Yuanbao. The man and the dog ate with relish, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.
Han Jianye looked at the harmonious scene on the phone screen, his eyes slightly raised, and sneered softly: "You know how to enjoy yourself."
At this moment, Ye Bai was concentrating on watching a foreign movie, and he had almost finished half of the strawberries on the plate.
“Woof!!”
I want strawberry butt too! ! ! 】
( ω )
Ye Bai touched Yuanbao's head and said, "Yuanbao, the fruit is a little cold. It's not good to eat too much."
“Woof!!!”
[Okay, I'll listen to you and eat it next time.] 】
……(ω)
When Han Jianye came back from the meeting, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening and it was drizzling outside. He felt that attending the meeting was more tiring than working.
There was only a small lamp left on in the living room, and foreign movies were playing on the wall.
Han Jianye changed into slippers and slowly walked towards the sofa.
I found Ye Bai sitting on the ground, sleeping with his head resting on the sofa, and Yuanbao's head was also resting on his legs. The scene was very warm.
The movie was still playing, the volume was not very loud, and it just happened that a foreign girl asked her mother:
"What is love?"
"Love? Not even dogs."
The girl smiled helplessly, "Mom, I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."
The mother stroked her daughter's melancholy face and said, "Child, you don't look very happy."
"Yes, mom, I still can't forget my ex. I heard that he and his current girlfriend are breaking up. I want to wait for him, but I don't know if this is right?"
"Oh boy, does he like you?"
The girl shrugged. "I don't know."
"That means he doesn't like it, otherwise why would he date someone else?"
"But mom, I want to be brave again. I don't want to lose him."
"Listen carefully, kid. There is nothing wrong in loving someone, but if he doesn't have you in his heart, please turn around and leave."
"But mom, there is only one him in this world, and I don't want to miss him."
The mother held the girl in her arms and comforted her, "But you are the only one in this world."
"When did you come back?" Ye Bai's voice suddenly sounded.
Han Jianye lowered his head slightly, his eyes meeting Ye Bai's, "I just got here."
Ye Bai held onto the ground and tried to stand up. "Since you're back, I'll go back."
Perhaps because of sitting for a long time, Ye Bai's feet felt numb. He was unable to stand completely and his legs suddenly went limp.
However, Han Jianye reacted quickly. He reached out nimbly to grab Ye Bai's arm and pulled him up steadily.
The two were almost within touching distance, their eyes met, and Ye Bai's face was filled with surprise.
In this tight space, he could clearly smell the faint scent of tobacco on Han Jianye.
It seemed that at that moment, they could hear each other's heartbeats, and every beat was so clear.
Ye Bai steadied his steps and quickly regained his senses. He opened his lips slightly and said, "Um... can you let me go?"
Han Jianye held his arm tightly with a firm grip.
Han Jianye's eyes were deep and there was an almost imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Bai frowned slightly, looked down at the clenched hands, then raised his eyes and looked at Han Jianye.
After a moment, Han Jianye let go of his hand, walked to the table, sat on the sofa, picked up a strawberry, and tasted it leisurely, "When I was away, you guys really knew how to enjoy yourself."
Ye Bai did not respond to him, but turned to the window, feeling confused. He didn't know when it started to rain heavily.
He turned to Han Jianye, "Captain Han, can you lend me an umbrella?"
"It's raining so hard, are you sure you want to go back?" As soon as Han Jianye finished speaking, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, indicating that thunder was about to come.
Ye Bai then sat on the sofa, keeping a distance of about two meters from Han Jianye, and whispered, "Then I'll wait until the rain is lighter before leaving."
Han Jianye gently turned his neck and casually tugged at his collar. His movements were natural and elegant. Even the most casual actions made it difficult for people to look away. "Whatever you want to do, I'm going to take a shower."
Ye Bai looked at the heavy rain outside the window and felt that the rain showed no sign of stopping.
well……
When Han Jianye came out of the bathroom, he found Ye Bai still sitting on the sofa with a helpless expression on his face and the corners of his lips drooping slightly, as if silently expressing how much he didn't want to stay here.
"Looking at the look on your face, people who don't know would think you were threatened." Han Jianye joked.
"No." Ye Bai immediately retorted.
Han Jianye took out two cans of iced beer from the refrigerator and handed one to Ye Bai. "How about some beer? The alcohol content is very low, just like drinking boiled water."
Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No need."
"You can't even drink beer?" Han Jianye questioned half-jokingly.
Ye Bai raised his eyes, looked at Han Jianye, and said firmly: "I really don't drink."
Han Jianye put the beer on the table. "It's raining so hard outside. How are you going to leave? Just stay here tonight."
"I..." Ye Bai hesitated.
Han Jianye turned his head, his eyes deep, and asked him: "Are you afraid of me?"
"Ah? No." Ye Bai hurriedly denied.
"The rain is so heavy that you'll get wet even with an umbrella."
Ye Bai was silent for a while, and finally whispered: "Then sleep here."
The rain was too heavy to leave, but Ye Bai seemed to want to prove something. He grabbed the beer on the table, opened the pull ring, tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps.
While drinking, his brows were furrowed and he almost choked on the bitter liquid. "It's so bitter, so hard to drink."
……(＞﹏＜)
Han Jianye chuckled, "Why are you in such a hurry to drink?"
Ye Bai put down the beer can in his hand; the bitter liquid made him burp involuntarily.
Then, a strong odor suddenly rushed into his nasal cavity, irritating him to the point that he could hardly breathe. He was so uncomfortable that he had to close his eyes tightly, trying to get rid of the sudden discomfort.
After just a moment, Ye Bai felt his cheeks slightly hot and his head became dizzy.
He muttered to himself in confusion: "Didn't they say that this wine has a low alcohol content and tastes like plain water? Why do I still feel dizzy?"
Han Jianye smiled and responded easily: "To me, it is really no different from boiled water."
Ye Bai felt unhappy about being deceived and a little angry.
He held onto the sofa, shakily stood up, and decided to go straight to bed to rest.
Han Jianye noticed that Ye Bai seemed to be heading towards his bedroom, so he immediately followed him and reminded Ye Bai from behind, "Your room is over there."
However, Ye Bai didn't seem to listen to Han Jianye's words.
His head was hot and he felt dizzy. At this moment, he just wanted to find a bed to lie down.
In the end, Ye Bai fell directly on Han Jianye's bed, pulled Han Jianye's pillow over, hugged it tightly, and clamped it between his legs, seeking a little comfort.
Han Jianye climbed onto the bed, pulled out his pillow forcefully, and said jokingly, "Wake up, give me back my pillow."
However, Ye Bai was very strong after drinking, and he didn't seem to fully listen to Han Jianye's words. He just muttered: "No, you are so annoying."
Han Jianye was amused by this sudden rebuttal. He gently patted Ye Bai's slightly hot cheek with the back of his hand, "You are quite courageous. You actually dare to say that the captain is annoying."
Ye Bai seemed to be even more angry, and retorted in a low voice: "...You are annoying in the first place."
After saying that, he turned around and faced Han Jianye, ignoring him.
"You took my bed, snatched my pillow, and called me annoying. Ye Bai, you are awesome."
Ye Bai did not respond. Han Jianye shook his shoulder and said half-jokingly, "Wake up, you are not really drunk, are you? Can you get drunk just by beer?"
Ye Bai closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "Little brother."
Han Jianye frowned and asked in confusion: "What little brother?"
Ye Bai sighed deeply, with a sad expression, "Little brother, why don't you recognize me? I am Xiaobai."
Han Jianye crossed his arms in front of his chest, thinking. He remembered that Ye Bai had mentioned Yan Yi before. "Captain Yan, could he be the little brother he mentioned?"
Then he snorted disdainfully, with a look of disgust on his face, "He already has a wife, why are you still thinking about him?"
"What do you want to do?" Ye Bai suddenly got angry and kicked the defenseless Han Jianye off the bed.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴ Take my kick.
Han Jianye sat under the bed and woke up instantly. He said to himself in disbelief: "Fuck, what the hell?"
He walked up to Ye Bai with a confused look on his face and found that Ye Bai had fallen into a deep sleep, but he was still holding the pillow tightly in his hand and refused to return it to him.
Han Jianye sneered, stared at Ye Bai's sleeping face, and whispered, "I'll settle the score with you tomorrow."
