Chapter 12
At work, Yun Qi was absent-minded, his gaze constantly drifting to Lu Yun. He still couldn't quite believe that he was actually with Lu Yun.
Does Lu Yun actually like me too?
Yun Qi was also worried that if Lu Yun found out about her identity as a succubus, he might look down on her or hate her.
He bit his lip and cautiously glanced at Lu Yun sitting in the office. He had already stolen glances at Lu Yun several times during work hours today.
Sometimes when Lu Yun and he made eye contact, they would both laugh. Although Yun Qi didn't know what he was laughing about, he could tell from the affection in Lu Yun's eyes that Lu Yun had feelings for him.
Yun Qi is still in a daze about what happened last night, unable to come to her senses. It all feels like a dream, such a pleasant surprise.
Their company didn't prohibit office romances, and Lu Yun didn't try to hide it. During breaks, he would come out and walk over to Yun Qi, talk to him, pinch his cheek, and fix his hair.
Soon, everyone in the office realized that the relationship between Lu Yun and Yun Qi was not simple.
The team leader clicked his tongue in disbelief, still thinking about the first time the two of them met. He had said back then, "Why did Yun Qi hold Lu Yun's hand for so long? It turns out it's because she's taken a liking to Lu Yun."
Yun Qi, that kid, is truly a man of few words but amazing talent.
Yun Qi naturally noticed his colleagues' gazes, his earlobes turning red. He said, "Lu Yun, aren't we being a little too obvious?"
Lu Yun chuckled: "What's so obvious? Does Xiao Qi not want others to know we're together?"
Yun Qi shook her head repeatedly: "No, of course I want everyone to know about our relationship..."
He knew how popular Lu Yun, a prodigy, was. He had heard many male and female colleagues praise Lu Yun and say they wanted to find a boyfriend like him.
Yun Qi was a petty succubus. He didn't like hearing others talk about Lu Yun like that, nor did he like others looking at Lu Yun with adoring eyes. It made him very uncomfortable.
Therefore, everything Lu Yun did in the office was done with Yun Qi's tacit approval.
The two got together. After get off work, Yunqi would wait for Luyun to finish getting ready so they could go home together.
While waiting at the traffic light, Lu Yun turned around and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."
Yun Qi wasn't very interested in human food because it couldn't fill his stomach; it was just for the taste. Considering that Lu Yun didn't know his identity yet, and now wasn't the time to reveal it, Yun Qi could only say, "I'm not picky about food; I can eat anything."
Lu Yun smiled and pinched his cheek: "So obedient, do you think I'll like everything you do?"
Yun Qi discovered that Lu Yun liked to touch her inappropriately, and she liked it too.
"Of course, I like whatever you do."
Lu Yun chuckled softly, and seeing that the red light had passed, he started the car. "Now that we're together, we don't need to live separately anymore. I'll live with you, okay, Xiao Qi?"
Yun Qi was stunned. This was only their first day together, and they were already living together?
If you ask Yun Qi what he thinks, he will of course raise his hand in agreement. If he lives with Lu Yun, he can consume Lu Yun's yang energy at any time and will not have to worry about being hungry!
But then he thought he should be more reserved, and pursed his lips, "Aren't we moving a little too fast?"
He wanted to leave a good impression on Lu Yun, and he didn't want Lu Yun to think he was too casual. But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yun nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Let's talk about it later."
Yun Qi panicked. This wasn't what he had imagined. He wanted to say that this wasn't what he meant, but Lu Yun was focused on driving, and Yun Qi was too embarrassed to disturb him.
Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't notice Lu Yun's smiling eyes and the upturned corners of her mouth.
He did it on purpose. He noticed that after he mentioned living together, Yun Qi leaned excitedly towards him, but then shrank back in less than a second. Her cheeks were flushed pink, as if rose petals had been lightly patted onto her face, and even her earlobes were as red as if they were dripping blood.
He even said those words. Lu Yun was absolutely smitten with Yun Qi's appearance. He smiled with his eyes narrowed. He was just teasing Yun Qi on purpose.
When they arrived at their destination, Yun Qi was still in a daze, clutching the seatbelt. Lu Yun didn't urge him, but propped his head up and looked at Yun Qi.
The seatbelt crossed diagonally, making his full pectoral muscles stand out even more. Lu Yun had already noticed that Yun Qi was still an old-fashioned person when it came to dressing. Every day he wore a neat white shirt and suit, and the colors were just a few: gray, dark gray, and black. He rotated these three colors every day.
When Yunqi got hot, he took off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves to reveal his fair and strong arms. He was very focused when he was working, his lips would purse from time to time, and his eyes would crinkle with laughter when he heard what others said. When he laughed, his chest muscles would tremble slightly. Lu Yun loved to observe these things.
He couldn't help but fall for every part of Yun Qi's body.
Just like now, because he was thinking about something, Yun Qi didn't notice that he had already reached the ground. His brows were slightly furrowed, his lips were pursed, his jaw was tightened, and his eyes were unfocused as he stared ahead.
His hands were always on his knees, like a good elementary school student. His pectoral muscles were bulging with an alluring curve from the seatbelt. The top two or three buttons of his shirt were undone, and Lu Yun could easily see the delicious cleavage when he peeked out slightly.
The two pristine white snow-capped mountains were piled together, appearing even more bulging as the owner pondered the movement of wrapping his arms. If the neckline were a little wider, and Lu Yun looked down a bit further, he might have been able to see the red berries planted on the snow-capped mountains.
Lu Yun's eyes were dark, his tongue felt numb, he pressed his cheek against his cheek, puffed out an arc, and ground his teeth together, his gums itchy.
Yun Qi frowned, thinking seriously. After getting off the bus, how should he explain to Lu Yun that he had just wanted to agree but was just pretending to be reserved? Would Lu Yun think he was crazy, or would he think he was too casual? But if he didn't say anything, he would miss this opportunity, and who knew what would happen in the future?
As Yun Qi pondered, she unconsciously bit her lip, her sharp canine teeth grinding against her lower lip until it became red and ulcerated.
There was a near bleed when a slightly cool finger reached out and used its place to press against the sharp canine tooth, pricking the fingertip with pain.
Yun Qi snapped out of her daze and looked at Lu Yun strangely, only then realizing they had arrived at their destination. Her face flushed red, and she stammered, "We're...we're here? Why didn't you call me? I was thinking about something...oh dear..."
Yun Qi felt embarrassed that he hadn't come to his senses for so long and hadn't even realized they had arrived. He lifted his eyelids and looked cautiously at Lu Yun: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
From this angle, Yun Qi looks especially adorable, with round, dark eyes that look intently at you, inexplicably reminding Lu Yun of a puppy.
He chuckled, shaking his head to clear his mind: "It hasn't been long. What's Xiao Qi thinking? Can I hear it?"
Yun Qi panicked. How could he say that he was thinking about how to live with Lu Yun? Wouldn't that make him seem too hasty? In his panic, he found fault with Lu Yun: "I...I was thinking, you can't call me Xiao Qi!"
Lu Yun tilted his head, puzzled. He had thought Yun Qi would reveal that he was thinking about how to live with him.
Why did this suddenly come up with the topic of how to address someone? But since Yun Qi brought it up, he figured he might as well go along with it: "So, what does Xiao Qi think I should call you?"
Yun Qi's mind went blank for a moment, and he almost blurted out that he was hundreds of years old. Fortunately, he stopped himself and said in a thoughtful manner, "I'm a few years older than you. You should call me Brother Qi. You guessed right."
After Yun Qi finished speaking, he thought for a few seconds and finally confirmed, "Yes, you should call me Brother Qi."
Lu Yun froze for a few seconds, then burst out laughing. His eyes narrowed into tiny slits as he laughed, so much so that he leaned on the steering wheel. He accidentally honked the horn, and the underground parking garage was filled with the sound of cars laughing. Lu Yun was shaking with laughter.
Yun Qi didn't understand why Lu Yun was laughing so hard, and his face turned redder the more he smiled at him. He asked, "What's wrong? What are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Lu Yun looked at Yun Qi with a pair of smiling eyes that were brimming with tears, and said, "Brother Qi? Calling me that makes me feel like I've aged decades."
Yun Qi's face flushed red: "Then, then tell me, how should I call you?"
He looked at Lu Yun and thought, "He's not just a few decades older, he's hundreds of years older! I'm afraid he'll scare Lu Yun to death if I tell him, so I'd better not."
Lu Yun suddenly leaned in, so close that their breaths hit each other on their faces, hot and burning. When Yun Qi looked into Lu Yun's deep eyes, it was as if she were looking into a vortex, her soul being sucked in.
Lu Yun said, "Calling you Xiao Qi feels too young, calling you Yun Qi feels too formal, and calling you Brother Qi feels too old. How about I call you Qi Qi instead?"
Yun Qi frowned: "Qi Qi? It sounds like you're calling a child, even younger." He muttered to himself, "Not even as good as Xiao Qi."
Lu Yun stared at him and laughed: "Little Qi is no good, Yun Qi is no good, Brother Qi is no good, Qi Qi is still no good, so how should I call you? Baby? Darling? Or—"
Lu Yun leaned close to Yun Qi's ear, affectionately nibbling his earlobe, and whispered in a low voice, "Husband?"
Yun Qi felt as if he were on fire, burning hot and red. He covered his bitten ear and stared blankly at Lu Yun. He touched his ear, which felt like it had been boiled in hot water; it was scalding hot. His eyes were panicked, yet gleaming: "You, you can't do this..."
Seeing his reaction, Lu Yun knew he was satisfied with the titles, and smiled as she straightened up: "That's what I'll call you when it's just the two of us."
Yun Qi liked it when Lu Yun called him that; it made his heart flutter and his tail almost uncontrollably floated out.
Biting her lip, she couldn't bear to refuse. When she saw Lu Yun about to leave, she grabbed his hand and said, "I... I have something else to tell you."
Lu Yun: "Is there anything else, baby?"
Yun Qi's cheeks flushed red: "You, you said you wanted the two of us to live together, right? I'm fine with that."
