Noticing Ye Kai's response, Chen Youhan paused and pushed him away in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Ye Kai half tilted his head and looked at him playfully and innocently.
Chen Youhan was panting slightly, his expression was calm, but there was astonishment in his eyes. Three times. He had forcefully kissed Ye Kai three times. This was the first time he responded to him. Without waiting for him to say anything, Ye Kai turned his eyes away and said in a fake way, "Sorry, I got the wrong person."
Bang!
The door shook as it slammed open, and Chen Youhan left.
Ye Kai walked to the window. It was raining hard outside. The old-fashioned carved glass was hit by raindrops, leaving ripples of fish patterns. It was the iron rule of the plateau that if it rained heavily at night, the next day would be sunny. He drew the curtains, slowly drank the remaining half cup of tea, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out, Chen Youhan was sitting against the wall with his arms folded and legs crossed, looking deep and difficult to deal with. Ye Kai walked out, wiping his hair, and couldn't help laughing when he turned his eyes to the bed. There were two quilts on the large double bed, which should be Mei Duo's work, with a clear distinction between Chu and Han.
"Is it that serious?" He sat down lazily on the bed: "You don't think I would accidentally have sex with you."
Chen Youhan took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, and pointed warningly: "Don't celebrate your birthday, go back to your boyfriend tomorrow."
Ye Kai plugged the hair dryer into the socket and glanced back at him before turning it on: "It's so fierce."
The bathroom door was also slammed shut. Chen Youhan seemed to have lost the skill of closing the door properly tonight.
After a whole day of exposure to the highlands, the hot solar water washed down from the top of his head. His black hair was gathered behind his head with both hands, and the water flowed down, revealing an extremely handsome and three-dimensional pale face. His brows were furrowed, and the heating lamp illuminated his entire face of desire and pain. Chen Youhan closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and his lips were pursed into a straight warning line. In fact, he had spent two years of extreme abstinence, and even rarely relieved himself.
When he was free, he leaned against the wall with one hand, and the muscles in his back went from tense to relaxed, as if his whole body was breathing. The hot water slid down his smooth back muscles, and Chen Youhan lowered his head, his heart throbbing.
He opened his tightly closed eyes, panting, his eyes slightly red, "Fuck." The look in his eyes was almost self-abandonment.
When I came out, Ye Kai was already asleep. He slept on the side against the wall, lying on his side, with a thick quilt covering half of his pointed chin. Chen Youhan looked at him for a while, he was very well behaved, his lips were naturally pursed when he slept. When you love someone, even smelling his breath in your dreams will feel sweet.
The lights were turned off, he picked up the towel and hair dryer, and left the bedroom silently.
The rain continued until late at night.
When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of Ye Kai tossing and turning. He knew he was awake just by the sound of him turning over. Chen Youhan didn't say anything, thinking that Ye Kai didn't sleep well either. After a while, he heard his heavy breathing that he was deliberately holding, and finally realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing his question, Ye Kai gasped: "...My stomach hurts."
Chen Youhan suddenly woke up: "Where does it hurt?"
Ye Kai hummed like a little animal: "I don't know."
The edge of the quilt was pushed open and a hand stretched out.
Chen Youhan pressed on his stomach, his voice hoarse and sleepy: "Here?"
Ye Kai shook his head.
Then he pressed on his right side: "Here?"
Ye Kai denied it again, and then grabbed Chen Youhan's hot palm: "Don't press it, I can't tell the difference."
Chen Youhan pulled his hand away, "You can take the medicine only after you confirm it's done." His fingertips moved to his lower abdomen, and Ye Kai gasped violently. He curled up and cursed in anger, "Don't fucking press it, it'll get hard again!"
“…”
The hand was pulled away quickly and then covered his eyes. The light turned on, and Chen Youhan's palm stayed on his eyes for two seconds before removing it. Ye Kai heard him get up, and after a few minutes of rustling, Chen Youhan called him: "Take medicine."
Ye Kai opened his eyes and saw Chen Youhan standing at the head of the bed. He was wearing a black tight short-sleeved T-shirt and smoky gray loose sports pants. He was holding a glass of water in his hand and looked at him helplessly.
"Painkillers, digestive tablets."
Ye Kai picked up two pills from his palm and took the cup of water. It was warm, just right for drinking.
"If you like it, just ask Meiduo to make it for you more often." Chen Youhan looked at him with amusement.
“…I’m embarrassed to refuse.”
At that time, Pingcuo was standing on tiptoe, leaning against the table, his dark eyes full of anticipation. How could he have the nerve to say that he couldn't eat anymore?
Chen Youhan lowered his head, smiled slightly and shook his head, took the empty cup and put it on the bedside table, then turned off the light.
The bed sank again. In the darkness, Ye Kai opened his eyes and felt the movement of Chen Youhan lying down.
"Brother Youhan, you seem to be very experienced."
Chen Youhan was silent for a while, then said lightly, "I've been traveling outside for the past two years. I was not used to the local climate at first, but I've gotten used to it."
"Why was your drinking so serious last time?"
“It’s rare.”
Neither of them spoke anymore and just listened quietly to the rustling sounds outside the window.
After a while, Chen Youhan asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Ye Kai pressed his lower abdomen and groaned.
"Can I help you rub it?"
Ye Kai had actually been massaging his hands in circles with the base of his palms, and his hands were already sore. Hearing what Chen Youhan said, he hummed again.
After he answered, Chen Youhan adjusted his position and lay on his side, with one hand bent and resting under his head, and with the other hand lifting the quilt, his hot palm pressed against Ye Kai's lower abdomen through his T-shirt. His palm was large and powerful, and the amplitude of the pressure was just right. Ye Kai felt the pain instantly relieved. He closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then carefully moved to Chen Youhan's side: "... cold."
How could I not be cold? The quilt that was tucked in tightly was bulging because of my arms, and the wind was letting in.
Chen Youhan was silent for two seconds, then took his hand back and said in a low voice, "Rub it yourself."
"……oh."
As his eyes adjusted to the dark light, Chen Youhan could almost see Ye Kai pursing his lips in grievance. He cursed the bowl of ginseng fruit yogurt rice a hundred times in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "Baby, you really learned bad things." Then he lifted the quilt and ordered concisely: "Come here."
Ye Kai moved over. There was a huge difference in body temperature between the two of them. He felt a slight tremor in his heart from the heat.
However, Chen Youhan did not hug him, and even gentlemanly kept a fist's distance from him, and just gently and forcefully helped him massage the painful area.
"What were you and Lucas arguing about?"
"……nothing."
"He's been okay with you, isn't he?"
"...It's OK." Ye Kai couldn't stand it any longer, "Why do you always mention him?"
The force on his hand eased for a moment, and Chen Youhan turned over and lay flat, switching to his left hand, and then laughed at himself: "Remind myself not to make mistakes."
His tense body relaxed, and Ye Kai said softly, "I didn't know when you became so moral."
"Don't be mean to others when you don't have it, be mean to yourself."
"Why?"
"I don't want you to make a mistake."
Ye Kai was speechless: "Brother, you have kissed me three times."
Chen Youhan laughed and said, "I kissed you because I was impulsive. From the time I kissed you to the time I actually made the mistake, I had countless opportunities to turn back." He paused and gently warned, "If someone else tells you that they couldn't help themselves in the future, don't believe it."
In the silence, Ye Kai muttered softly: "I can't meet anyone else."
His chest tightened reflexively. Chen Youhan snorted and laughed, "Don't decide your life so quickly." Then he felt that what he said was really tasteless and apologized, "That's not what I meant. ... As long as you think it's worth it."
"It's worth it. I'm still angry though."
"You don't seem like the type to care about things. ... What did he do wrong?"
"He lied to me."
My arm went numb for a moment again as my heart ached.
"If it's not serious, give him a chance."
"serious."
Chen Youhan curled his lips silently: "Really? What do you think?"
Ye Kai opened his eyes, his calm gaze passed through the dim blue-black void and rested on Chen Youhan's profile.
"Sometimes I want to just walk away, but I will still love him no matter where I go. When I have let off some steam, I will go back to him."
Chen Youhan laughed, but his laughter was dry and pale: "Well, it's better to be more tolerant. As long as we love each other, we don't have to care so much about some things."
After a moment of silence, he said cryptically, "Baby, if I had apologized earlier, maybe you would be willing to forgive me."
Ye Kai could hardly hold on to this sentence and was about to throw away his armor. He moved his lips and changed his words before blurting out: "...Did you lie to me too?"
Chen Youhan felt his eye sockets getting hot, the hot liquid almost falling, and his jawline was stiff and cold. ...Xiao Kai, lying to you that I didn't love you back then was the most painful thing in my life.
He couldn't say it. He lied about the most unlikely thing in his life, but he never had the chance to reveal the lie. The truth only has meaning when Ye Kai cares about it. When they met again two years later, he let it go, started a new relationship, and had a new lover. Then he pulled her to say that everything was a lie and asked her to start over? He sounded like a shameless bastard.
"No. ... It's all in the past. Sorry, I won't mention it again. Go to sleep."
The pain in his lower abdomen was soothed by Chen Youhan's palm, and Ye Kai finally fell into a deep sleep. He lay on his side, holding the front of Chen Youhan's T-shirt tightly, as if he was afraid that he would leave without saying goodbye again when he opened his eyes the next day.
Because of this thought, he couldn't sleep well even in his dreams. The action of pulling at the collar turned into a hug, and the hug turned into a deep embrace. He rested his head on Chen Youhan's arm, his hand wrapped around his back, and his nose was tightly pressed against Chen Youhan's chest, which made him feel safe. All the pain was soothed, and he was healed in this familiar breath.
In the early morning, Ye Kai felt the other person getting up, and he hugged him reflexively in his dream: "Don't go."
Chen Youhan gently lifted his arm, but Ye Kai held it tighter and buried his face in the crook of his neck: "...Don't go."
He knew that Ye Kai had recognized the wrong person again.
In the dim light, his fingertips gently stroked Ye Kai's brow bone: "Don't leave, I'll be back soon."
Pushing open the balcony door, the air was clear and cold in the morning after the rain. The meadow looked crisp and dripping with water. The morning star was about to fade away, and the sun had not yet risen. The sky was hazy in the deep blue light. Thick smoke floated under the golden roof of the temple. It was the Tibetans burning mulberry leaves under the mulberry platform to pray for blessings. Chen Youhan was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, leaning on the railing and quietly smoking a cigarette. When he went back, he stopped a second before going to bed and then went back to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
He returned to Ye Kai's side with a hot body, and Ye Kai instantly rubbed into his arms and found a posture that made him feel at ease.
Chen Youhan rested his head on him, put his arm around his shoulders, and gently pressed his lips against his forehead.
Ye Kaifa uttered an unclear mutter: "Brother Youhan..."
Was it his illusion? Her embrace stiffened for a moment, then she hugged him tighter.
Ye Kai slept until ten o'clock in the morning and felt very rude.
He was the only one left on the bed. He shuddered and saw Chen Youhan, cigarette in one hand, looking at blueprints at his desk. His heart, which had suddenly soared, fell back and he finally pretended to be calm and sat up from the bed.
"morning."
Chen Youhan didn't turn around, and lazily said sarcastically: "The work and rest schedule of contemporary college students is a bit worrying."
Ye Kai said stubbornly: "Isn't it normal to sleep in on the first day in the plateau?"
Then I saw the other person laugh out loud: "If you didn't know, you would think you were jet lagged."
Ye Kai snorted, threw off the quilt and got down to the ground: "Where are you taking me to play today?"
Chen Youhan finally raised his head and looked at him in this very frank question: "Did I promise?"
"I'm a guest since I've come from afar, so what's wrong with showing me around?"
Chen Youhan asked politely: "Didn't you celebrate my birthday?"
Ye Kai said confidently: "It hasn't arrived yet!"
Chen Youhan laughed: "I was with you until you were 18 and you were still a well-behaved and reasonable kid. How can you become so unreasonable after being spoiled by others for a year or two?" He pushed the chair away and stood up. "Go wash up and eat first, and then choose after dinner."
"Is there any choice?" Ye Kai asked suspiciously.
"Yes. There is a mountain lake valley at the end of the road. You can ride a bike there. There is a magical waterfall on the mountain. It takes about three hours to hike back and forth. There is also an alpine meadow with nice scenery. It's your choice."
Ye Kai stared at him blankly for a long while, and for some reason he felt a little angry: "Chen Youhan! You seem to be having a very happy life!"
Chen Youhan was inexplicably annoyed by his harshness, and raised his hand to slap him: "I spoiled you." He explained nonchalantly: "I haven't been there. I only found out this morning when I asked Sang Ji."
Ye Kai calmed down, pursed his lips coldly, and then couldn't help curling them up. Afraid that Chen Youhan would see the trick, he immediately turned around and hid in the bathroom.
During breakfast, Sang Ji showed them photos of these places, all of which were beautiful, like paradise. Ye Kai couldn't choose, and asked Chen Youhan greedily, "Are we in a hurry?"
Chen Youhan didn't know why his plan suddenly became "ours". Just as he was about to speak, Ye Kai asked, "You're not leaving tomorrow, are you?" Then he said to himself, "I won't leave the day after tomorrow either." He made the final decision, "We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Chen Youhan took a deep breath under the gaze of Sangji, Meiduo and Pingcuo, smiled very plastically and said, "Okay, all is fine, you have the final say."
Pingcuo roared with joy and clapped his little hands.
Ye Kai coughed softly, which made the smile even more obvious, and lowered his head to hide the smile on the corners of his lips.
After lunch, Sang Ji wanted to show Chen Youhan how to ride his Honda motorcycle. Ye Kai volunteered with his helmet in hand: "Sang Ji, teach me, he doesn't know how!"
What a joke, Chen Youhan has never used a two-wheeled vehicle since he was born. He doesn't want to come out to Chen Youhan by committing suicide for love.
Chen Youhan lowered his head to light a cigarette and gave way to others. Seeing Ye Kai's serious look, he called him, "Hey," and raised his eyebrows cynically, "Are you sure?"
Ye Kai glanced at him confidently, pinched the brake and turned the key half a turn, the engine started, put on the helmet and shook his head: "Get in."
Chen Youhan pulled his hands out of his trouser pockets, biting his cigarette and lazily clapping at him: "You are so smart, you are worthy of being a senior from Tsinghua University."
This Honda motorcycle is very similar to an electric car in appearance and operation. As long as you control the speed, and there are basically no dogs on the road, nothing should go wrong. Chen Youhan has long legs, so he just lifted them up and sat behind him, put on a helmet, and whispered in his ear: "Be careful, there is a 300 billion heir on the car."
Ye Kai laughed so hard that he coughed, pressed the paddle to shift gears, and said frankly in the bright sunshine after the rain: "Brother Youhan, hold me tight."
Chen Youhan was choked by the smoke, "Can you not be so ambiguous?"
Sang Ji and Mei Duo were both amused and laughed. Chen Youhan raised his hands and circled Ye Kai's thin waist and abdomen under their gazes.
The throttle was turned, the engine roared, and Ye Kai rode out like the wind.
The cigarette ash fell all over Chen Youhan, forcing him to hug Ye Kai tightly and cursed "Fuck" with a smile.
The road was the most common cement road, very smooth, and led from the end of the village to the deep valley between two hills. There were grasslands on both sides, with yaks and horses lying leisurely. The white dots were sheep, which were timid and would run away when they heard the engine approaching. They bleated all the way, and the herdsmen greeted them with whips in their hands. Ye Kai was galloping at lightning speed, feeling Chen Youhan pressed against his back, his chest being strangled by his strong arms.
His mood flew in the wind, flying towards the cloudless sky and the clear youth.
When encountering beautiful scenery, he could stop at will. The sense of freedom was more important than anything else. Ye Kai even ran to the grass to have fun, but was watched by the mother yak warily.
Chen Youhan leaned against the car and smoked, threatening Ye Kai and pointing behind him.
Ye Kai asked loudly: "What?"
"Tibetan Mastiff!"
The sound was carried by the wind to Ye Kai's ears. He saw his face change and he screamed in fear and ran towards him. The sheep didn't know what was going on and ran after him, bleating wildly. The herdsmen rolled their eyes. Chen Youhan laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. He saw Ye Kai running towards him, getting closer and closer. He couldn't dodge in time and was pounced into his arms.
The motorcycle fell over with a terrible crash. Ye Kai frowned and held Chen Youhan's neck tighter.
Chen Youhan pinched his waist. The sun made him feel dizzy. He could feel Ye Kai's clean breath beside his ear, and he easily mocked him: "You can't even outrun a corgi, and you want to outrun a Tibetan mastiff?"
Ye Kai was stunned, thinking of the past. Those memories had long been embedded in his life, and even if his bones were broken, his tendons were still connected. He was panting rapidly, his heart was beating violently due to altitude sickness, his clear black eyes met Chen Youhan's deep and smiling gaze, and before anyone could react, they hugged and kissed eagerly.
