As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent, and even the wind seemed to have gone around it.
Ye Kai's eyes were unfocused. He looked from his bruised toes to Chen Youhan. He looked at him and then hastily lowered his eyes. His toes were in pain and it was hard to relieve it. He looked at Chen Youhan's hand holding his arch, "The surveillance... you've seen it all..." He swallowed hard and his eyes trembled, as if he was suddenly awakened. He supported himself on the floor with his hands, as if he wanted to get up and run away.
Chen Youhan grabbed his arm and pulled his upper body into his arms.
Ye Kai struggled in a panic, but was held down by Chen Youhan. His shoulder blades were tightly pressed by Chen Youhan's palms, not allowing him to make the slightest move to retreat.
"You've been playing along with me these past few days..." Ye Kai muttered, his black pupils flickering with broken light because of his emotions and brain's rapid operation. What fake boyfriend, what's the matter with prying him off, what's the matter with Lucas and him who's more satisfied... His eyes gradually turned red, and Ye Kai gritted his teeth: "Fuck you——"
Chen Youhan held the back of his neck and coaxed him with a laugh: "Shh, shh, don't scold, don't scold, it's not worth it, not worth it..." Then he leaned over and kissed the corners of his mouth and cheeks.
Ye Kai was domineeringly forced to turn his face away. He had nowhere to hide. He could only be kissed and pecked by him again and again, lightly and quickly. He couldn't hide away. His angry voice was tinged with nasal sounds: "—— Bastard——"
Chen Youhan laughed out loud as he kissed her. He leaned his forehead against his and confessed in a very intimate manner: "I am a bastard, I am shameless, I have no shame, and I am so mean to you."
Ye Kai suddenly remembered what he said in the car yesterday.
"Don't treat me like a good person."
"I'm really bad, you'll know later."
He was so angry that he shouted with a different tone: "Chen Youhan! Go to hell!"
The anger was heavy and vivid, and could not be underestimated, but Chen Youhan still held him tighter in his arms, kissed Ye Kai's shoulder through his clothes, and said in a low voice: "I almost died last night. If you really hate me so much, I will try harder today."
The lubricant was very effective. As soon as Chen Youhan finished speaking, it rolled out from the unsealed paper bag.
Chen Youhan asked him to choose in a domineering and scoundrel manner: "How about we talk calmly, or do you want me to interrogate you in bed?"
Ye Kai pushed him away with all his strength. His knees were a little sore from kneeling for so long. When he stood up, his legs went limp for a moment, but Chen Youhan caught him and saved him. Unfortunately, helping him at this time would only backfire. He glared at Chen Youhan fiercely and said coldly and angrily, "Go away!"
Chen Youhan made a gesture of surrender like a gentleman and took a step back.
Ye Kai picked up the lubricant, weighed it in his hand, looked at it for a few seconds, sneered, and before Chen Youhan could stop him, he raised his arm and threw it out fiercely. The transparent round tube raised a smooth arc in the air, flew out of the window at a very beautiful angle, and landed in the bushes not known how far away.
Chen Youhan: “…”
He was humiliated, but he couldn't lose his composure. He applauded him wholeheartedly, coughed softly and exclaimed: "Beautiful."
He is indeed a home run hitter.
Ye Kai then picked up the cigarette box on the coffee table, took out two cigarettes and threw one to Chen Youhan. After lighting it, he took a puff and asked, "When did you know?"
"By the lake. I wanted to jump down because of the injury you caused me. Then the housekeeper called and said a thief had broken into Fan Ning's house." Chen Youhan glanced at him and smiled meaningfully. "I asked her to call the police, but she said the thief was sick and didn't rummage through anything. He just rolled over on my bed."
Ye Kai's face froze instantly. He was so embarrassed that he could only use violence to cover it up: "...I just drank too much and lay on it all night!"
Chen Youhan nodded, with a faint smile on his face, "Go in and see, he still sleeps very well." After a pause, he continued, "Just like before."
Ye Kai choked on the cigarette, turned his eyes away and asked unnaturally: "...You deleted it, right?"
Chen Youhan sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed and asked, "Do you think it's possible?"
Seeing Ye Kai cursed "Fuck" under his breath, he slowly added: "In the future, if there is nothing to put up at the wedding, what do you think of this? A ten-by-ten-meter high-lumen LED screen that will start looping from the moment the guests enter the venue until the end of the dinner."
Too cruel. Ye Kai was speechless, and pointed at him with two fingers holding a cigarette as a warning.
"Do you know which part I like to watch the most?" Chen Youhan controlled the rhythm of the conversation. Ye Kai was being manipulated without knowing it. Following his question, he recalled his inappropriate behavior when he was half drunk and half awake that night, and his heart unconsciously lifted.
"My favorite part is the part where you walked from the bar to the sun room. Even though it looked like you were sleepwalking, it made me feel like nothing had changed."
Ye Kaixin's mind flashed with the image of yellow perfumed lemons, which seemed to glow in the hazy morning light.
"I saw you go to the study and collection room..." Chen Youhan paused for nearly three seconds without making any expression, making people suspect that he had suddenly forgotten the words, but in fact, he was once again swept up by the intense emotions when they first met, and even his heart trembled slightly. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath before continuing: "...I am actually very fortunate, very happy, very...I don't know," he smiled, "Maybe I am very grateful to some god."
Ye Kai took two puffs of his cigarette and lowered his eyes.
"Are you so sure that I'm here to make peace with you?"
Chen Youhan asked him back, "What about you? Are you sure that I haven't forgotten you in the past two years?"
Ye Kai curled his lips without emotion and smoked harder. After a long while, he said, "I already knew you hadn't forgotten me. You made it clear enough last time at Jiang Yan's place."
Chen Youhan was slightly startled, then laughed at himself: "I forgot, you were indeed very determined that time."
"I've always been very determined." With his left arm across his chest and his right hand holding a cigarette resting on the back of his clenched fist, Ye Kai flicked off the cigarette ash gracefully. "To be honest, if I only knew that you had a miserable two years, I would be shaken, but I wouldn't necessarily come to you. I would think that you simply regretted it. After all, although it's touching to go back to your ex, I don't like it."
It's his style.
Chen Youhan smiled.
"I went to see Uncle Chen later." Ye Kai glanced at him, "He has aged a lot."
He leaned against the fireplace, while Chen Youhan sat on the sofa. There was a distance between them, which allowed Chen Youhan to observe him from a distance and objectively for the first time. Without the fearless arrogance and the habitual sweetness in front of him, Ye Kai talked to him in such a deep and cold manner for the first time. Chen Youhan had an inappropriate thought in his mind: even if there was no absurd and passionate eighteen years old, he would definitely fall in love with Ye Kai when he was twenty years old.
"When I saw your critical illness notice, the first person I wanted to see was not you, but Uncle Chen. I don't know why, but when I thought of him signing the critical illness notice outside the emergency room, I felt panic. ... I wanted to go and see how he had been doing in the past two years."
Chen Youhan knew that Ye Kai went to find Chen Feiyi not to inquire about his past, but because his innate family education, cultivation and kindness drove him to visit an uncle who almost lost his son in his old age.
This is also Ye Kai's style.
He did not feel any loss in his heart, and his gaze towards Ye Kai was even more gentle and affectionate, like a drop of rain that inevitably fell from the sky onto the rose petals.
"He persuaded you to come and let me get married." Chen Youhan said.
Ye Kai smiled and said, "Well, because he said that if I were to advise you, you would listen."
"Then what?"
"Then I found out that Uncle Chen knew that we were together. Uncle Chen said that since I had let it go, he would not bother you." In the shadows, Ye Kai's face looked a little pale. After a pause, he continued, "He probably felt it was not worth it for you. He said that you could have borrowed money from Grandpa with a letter, but you didn't, because you said-"
The air became quiet, with only tiny specks of dust floating in the light.
Chen Youhan took a deep breath and wiped his face vigorously.
"Brother Youhan, it turns out that you have always been serious." When he got to this point in the story, even his breathing trembled a little, "But why did you lie to me at that time? Why? I begged you so much outside the door, and you - I knew every word of yours by heart. I reviewed it over and over again in my dreams, returning to that night, that corridor, under that lamp over and over again." Ye Kai put the cigarette into his mouth tremblingly, even his lips were shaking.
"I really hate you. I can't bear it when it comes to that. I really can't bear it. What should I do? I can't bear it anymore. If it weren't for Gu Xiu, the fingerprint, the critical illness certificate, and Uncle Chen's words, if any link was wrong, we can't go back." He was so scared that his heart palpitated. He took a deep breath and finally his eyes were red. "...I can't resign myself to this."
Chen Youhan smiled and said, "Baby, can you come over and hold me for a while?"
His smile was not much better than Ye Kai's expression of almost crying.
Ye Kai didn't want to.
He was still in the stage of being angry, and because his bad trick was exposed and he had been played like a monkey for three days, he had to vent his anger. The words were not made clear, and the accounts were not settled. The old accounts between them almost cost both of them half their lives. How could they just turn the page? But for some reason, under Chen Youhan's gaze, he gradually felt that he could not hold on. His legs leaning against the fireplace felt weak, and finally he walked over slowly.
Chen Youhan just watched him walk towards her step by step, then grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms.
The boy became a young man, his height and frame grew. He was held in Chen Youhan's arms and sat on his lap. He was truly the weight of an adult man. Chen Youhan's palm passed through his waist and clasped his waist and abdomen. He looked up at him and said, "Stop playing, okay?"
Ye Kai moved his lips. Seeing him like this, he wanted to say something cold and angry to spoil the mood. But he racked his brains and couldn't find a single hypocritical statement.
Chen Youhan took the cigarette from his fingers, put out the half-smoked cigarettes together, and pleaded softly and lowly: "Mrs. Chen, you have suffered for two years, we can settle the accounts later, kiss me, okay?"
Ye Kai lowered his head and looked at him, his eyes were still red, and the tip of his pretty nose was also a little red. He stared at Chen Youhan with hatred, raised his hand and stroked his cheek. With his fingers numb and trembling, he closed his eyes and kissed him.
Two years, more than seven hundred days and nights, it was the first time they kissed passionately without any reservations and with all their sincerity.
There was no duplicity, no deception, no playing around, no dirty scripts of cheating, affairs, and one-night stands. Ye Kai kissed Chen Youhan, and Chen Youhan kissed Ye Kai, just like the beginning.
The flowers are in bloom, the curtains are fluttering, and the wind brings in the scented sunlight.
A salty and bitter taste entered my mouth.
Ye Kai was shocked, and before he could open his eyes, he was hugged by Chen Youhan. His face was pressed into his neck, and Chen Youhan took a deep breath, "Don't look."
Ye Kai did not insist on watching. He hugged Chen Youhan's shoulders and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Youhan."
Chen Youhan said "hmm" with a nasal tone.
Ye Kai thought it was a little cute, and couldn't help but curl up one corner of his lips, saying tiredly: "Tell me, every word you said to me was a lie. You have never been tired of me, never tired of me, you are serious about me, Sapphire is sincere, and all your words are unique and only said to me."
He hugged Chen Youhan, resting his head on his shoulder: "...if you say it once, the past will be wiped out. Let me know that I didn't love the wrong person, I'm not hated, I am loved by you, and I'm not an idiot who thinks I'm loved. If you say it once, I won't blame you... and I won't retaliate."
Chen Youhan clenched his left hand.
Ye Kai was pushed away from his arms and saw Chen Youhan's palm lying flat in front of him.
There is an irregular round scar there that will never go away in this lifetime.
Chen Youhan looked at the scar. For a long time, he didn't dare to look at the scar, didn't dare to look at his left hand, and even at one point when the nerves in his left hand appeared in his consciousness, he could only hold them tightly to suppress the nightmarish burning pain.
"It was so hot at that time." Chen Youhan said lightly, "While saying those words to you, I pressed the cigarette butt into the palm of my hand. If I didn't do that, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to continue acting."
An instant of pain swept through Ye Kai's heart, and there was no expression on his face. He lost all ability to mobilize his nerves.
"I love you, Ye Kai. I am thirty-six years old. I pride myself on living a relatively clear life, even though my private life used to be absurd and chaotic, and I never had any serious expectations for love. I was born at the top of a pyramid, surrounded by flattery, beautiful lies, and calculations. All the splendor and prosperity are within my reach. I have been confused, arrogant, prosperous, and fallen. I have experienced both true and false feelings and the life of luxury. But the fact that I love you is the only thing I am sure of after going through all the vanity and extravagance."
