The plane flew through thunderclouds and rainstorms, and finally landed safely at Ningshi Liuhua Airport. The taxiing speed gradually slowed down, and the rainstorm formed fish-scale-like water stains on the portholes in the middle of the night. We left the cabin in an orderly manner, and the driver arranged by Chen Youhan was already waiting at the exit of the arrival hall.
After getting into the back seat, the Audi A8 drove out of the airport ring road in a low-key manner despite the wind and rain.
"Master, are you going to Fanning or back to the mansion?"
"Let's go to Siyuan Road first."
As soon as he finished giving the order, he felt the atmosphere around him suddenly turn colder than the South Pole. He looked back and saw Ye Kai staring at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Chen Youhan: "..." He asked tentatively: "Then go to Fanning?"
Ye Kai crossed his legs and folded his arms, clearly looking as if he was keeping people at a distance, and turned his face coldly towards the window.
He was almost driven crazy by the chaotic jet lag. There were no direct flights from Vancouver to Ning City, and their flight was delayed for nearly eight hours in Tokyo. He got a rare three hours of sleep on the plane and landed at one o'clock in the morning. His sleepiness brewed into irritability, which escalated unreasonably in the sweltering thunder of Ning City, and finally turned into an unreasonable temper when he woke up.
Chen Youhan immediately changed his words and ordered succinctly and decisively: "Go to Fanning."
The driver responded and silently changed the route on the navigation.
It took nearly an hour to drive to the city center. Ye Kai wore a neck pillow and dozed off while sulking. When he woke up, he found that he had leaned on Chen Youhan's shoulder without knowing when. The car was in the underground parking lot of Fanning, and opposite was the owner's exclusive elevator. He got out of the car with hazy eyes and instinctively. Chen Youhan was taking a backpack from the trunk. Ye Kai couldn't stand and lazily rested his forehead on Chen Youhan's arm.
The driver was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. He usually dealt with the company's business, but today he was temporarily assigned to serve this young master. Who knew he would encounter such an ambiguous relationship as soon as he arrived?
Chen Youhan glanced at him, and he hung both backpacks on one shoulder himself, and even used half of his arms to hug Ye Kai.
The driver wanted to say something and wanted to ask something, but was stopped by a gesture of his hand, which meant that he should not speak or disturb the young master who looked more noble in his arms.
Finding himself useless, the driver stood there helplessly, feeling a little restrained.
In the silence of the night, Ye Kai heard Chen Youhan ask softly in his ear: "Are you so sleepy?"
He was too lazy to even open his eyes, he just leaned in his arms with his eyes closed and nodded.
Chen Youhan laughed: "It's useless."
Then he waved to the driver. The driver approached, and he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "There is a card holder in the interlayer of the black backpack. There is a pure black card in it. It is the owner's card. Please help me take it out."
He didn't need to tell him anything else. The black card was stuck on the machine, the door was unlocked, Chen Youhan took Ye Kai into the elevator, took the card bag and owner card from the driver, and gave him a soothing look. The elevator door closed, and the numbers on the electronic display jumped up very quickly, and soon they reached the 26th floor of Fanning.
Everything was the same as before, but Ye Kai suddenly grabbed the fingerprint lock door handle first, put his thumb on it, and said in a synchronized electronic female voice like a primary school student, "Welcome home."
The man who was so sleepy that he could not stand just now became alert and said coldly: "Look, your door lock is broken again."
The backpack was thrown in the entrance, Chen Youhan bent down and picked up the person horizontally, and said in a steady voice: "If it's not broken, thieves can't get in."
Ye Kai unconsciously put his arms around his neck and said in a lazy tone: "Who is the thief?"
He closed his eyes and leaned his head on Chen Youhan's chest, but he was not merciful with his words. Chen Youhan glanced at him with his lips curved, "You are wrong, you are not a thief, you are——"
"Theft."
Ye Kai reacted for a moment and then laughed softly.
The two of them took a quick shower and slept soundly in each other's arms. They woke up the next afternoon because they were hungry. They ordered takeout, ate a few bites, checked their unread messages, followed their physiological reactions, and made love on the bed. After that, they fell asleep again. This time, they slept until noon the next day. They ordered a thin crust pizza and shared it. They each started to deal with official business. Phone calls and video calls came and went. The two of them were in their own corners and didn't disturb each other. At dusk, they were finally free. They sat on the balcony and drank some wine and continued to catch up on sleep.
On the third day, Ye Kai woke up at eight o'clock in the morning. He was still a little confused when he woke up. He found Chen Youhan was still sleeping. He had a calm face when he slept, with a faint dark blue under his eyes and stubble on his chin. He had his own charm even when he was asleep. Ye Kai pressed his elbow to kiss the side of his face, then turned over and got out of bed.
There was everything in the refrigerator. Chen Youhan must have asked the housekeeper to buy everything before returning home. Ye Kai didn't have much talent for cooking, as you could tell from how badly he made cakes, but he felt that breakfast was still a challenge. Isn't it just fried eggs and bacon?
…The first fried egg was a failure when it started to smell burnt.
While busy destroying the body, Chen Youhan was awakened by the dangerous smell. When Ye Kai came to his senses, he found Chen Youhan leaning against the island with his arms folded, looking at him, and said with a playful and sarcastic look in his eyes: "To be honest, I thought the house was on fire."
Annoying.
Ye Kai threw down his chopsticks and said fiercely, "I'm hungry!"
Chen Youhan smiled and shook his head, and finally walked into the kitchen: "What will you do when you go abroad to study like this? Arrange a housekeeper to go with you?"
Ye Kai was startled and asked subconsciously: "How did you know?"
Chen Youhan glanced at him, took over the messy stove and kitchen sink from him, and said with a half-smile, "I guessed it."
Ye Kai didn't know what to say, so he confessed: "I'm already preparing the materials."
He didn't intend to hide it from Chen Youhan. Besides, there was nothing to hide. He just hadn't found the right opportunity.
"USA?"
Ye Kai nodded, his eyes fixed on Chen Youhan's back.
After putting the beaten eggs into the pot, Chen Youhan turned on the range hood. He looked charming while cooking, carefree and calm, but it was a pity that only Ye Kai had seen him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Kai didn't say anything either. It wasn't until the fried eggs were out of the pan and served on a plate, with the aroma filling the air, that Chen Youhan smiled and said, "Fortunately, my English studies weren't in vain."
In the past, he always had an interpreter with him when he was involved in foreign affairs, and when he traveled abroad, a professional team followed him throughout the trip. For a person like him, everything was based on practicality and efficiency. Since there was no need for him to speak, he completely lost the need to learn English. In the past two years, he hired a private teacher who paid attention to it. Although his level was not as good as Ye Kai's native speaker, he was already very authentic and fluent.
"Your English is..."
"I learned it for you."
Ye Kai took the western-style plate with eggs and raised his eyebrows: "Are you sending me away just like that?"
The refrigerator door opened, and Chen Youhan took out eggs and milk again, "Eat the eggs first."
"Learned for me?"
Chen Youhan said casually: "I promised you that I would visit you often. I can't bring an interpreter with me every time I go."
Ye Kai lowered his head and took a bite of the egg, remaining silent, the corners of his mouth gradually curling up.
As the eggs and milk were beaten together, a sweet smell began to fill the air.
Chen Youhan returned to the center island, made him a cup of oatmeal coffee, and drank espresso herself.
"Have you ever thought about learning something else?"
“I did a second degree.”
"What is it?"
"Literature."
Chen Youhan glanced at him and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant..." He paused and said in a gentle but serious tone, "You don't have to study financial management. Besides Ningtong, you can actually do what you like."
Ye Kai finally understood, smiled, and asked deliberately with his hand on his cheek: "You support me?"
Chen Youhan paused for two seconds before saying, "It's not impossible."
"...Huh?" Ye Kai tapped the silver fork on the western plate in dissatisfaction, and said disdainfully: "Do you need to think about this kind of question before answering it?"
Chen Youhan finished his coffee and slowly said, "Eat the best food, wear the most expensive clothes, ski in winter, dive in summer, and spend millions of dollars on watches. In order to support you, I have to work two extra hours at GC every day to earn it back."
After he finished speaking, a hand stretched out in front of him: "Don't just talk, there are still four months left this year, where's the watch? I'll give you a half-yearly task, one dollar will do, ok?"
The energy of pushing for more.
His palm was mercilessly slapped. Chen Youhan uttered a "tsk" and sneered cynically: "You really deserve to be named Ye."
He returned to the kitchen counter to make him a pancake. Ye Kai finished the remaining fried eggs, wiped his mouth, and said seriously: "Finance is quite interesting. I like it very much."
Chen Youhan paused and felt vaguely relieved.
After breakfast, they really felt alive in China. They drank tea in the sun room, basking in the sun and using the air conditioner, and lived a life like a retired twilight. Chen Youhan didn't ask him when he would go home. Since he got off the plane and went back to Fanning with him, he certainly wouldn't let him go easily. When Qu Jia called, Ye Kai just pretended that he was still in Vancouver. Lan Man and this grandson colluded and reached a consensus to cover up his own daughter.
After the phone call, Chen Youhan looked at his watch to confirm today's date, and then asked in a nonchalant tone: "My mother's birthday is in five days, are you free?"
He always celebrated Ning Shu's birthday instead of her death anniversary.
Ye Kai was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Auntie's birthday is so close to yours."
"When I was a kid, I liked August the most. After eating cake, I could eat cake again half a month later. I could get into trouble and fight as much as I wanted. I would get a birthday present on my own birthday and another on my mom's birthday. I could open presents until September."
It's very happy just listening to it.
Ye Kai was as nervous as if he was meeting his parents for the first time: "What kind of flowers does Auntie like? I'll go and order them in advance. Will she dislike me?"
Chen Youhan stared at him lightly through Xiao Yuanji. After a while, he smiled and said, "No, she will regret that you are not her biological child."
They have been in love for quite some time, including secret crush, it has been four or five years, but every time Chen Youhan gazed at him so gently and cherishingly, he would still panic in his heart and lower his eyes in panic.
"...Then how are you going to introduce me?" Ye Kai asked softly, his heart pounding.
I heard that Aunt Ning is a very gentle person, so she would not be angry at his and Brother Youhan's rebellious behavior.
Chen Youhan thought about it seriously: "Qu Jia's son, the eldest grandson of the Ye family, and the heir of Ning Tong."
Ye Kai was speechless. The tingling feeling in his fingertips that had just been caused by his gaze disappeared into thin air: "...Gone?"
Chen Youhan laughed, stretched out his hand to Ye Kai, and said softly, "Come here."
Ye Kai took his hand and sat on his lap. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he couldn't help but put his forehead against his and their noses against each other.
Close enough to see into the depths of the other's night-like eyes.
There are stars rising.
Chen Youhan held him in his arms and continued to whisper in their noses: "He is my brother, my confidant, my teacher Xiaohua, my Pinocchio who is good at lying, the thief who steals from his employer, and the bravest little prince who grew up in an ivory tower."
Ye Kai chuckled, "Auntie, do you remember to come over?" He couldn't help but kiss him. When their lips were about to touch, Chen Youhan held the back of his head, looked at his soft lips and finished his introduction: "He is my boyfriend, my first love, my ex and my current lover. I want to join hands with my lifelong lover——"
"Ye Kai, open happily."
After a pause, he asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
