Chapter 105 "...I really can't do anything with you."
Lin Che had just opened the door when the coat in her hand fell to the ground.
An irresistible force suddenly came from behind.
His wrist was tightly grasped by a hot big hand, with such force that it almost crushed his bones. The next second, the world was spinning around him.
Lin Che was violently dragged inside by a brutal force, his back hitting the cold metal door with a dull thud that made his eardrums buzz and squeezed the air out of his lungs.
He didn't even see who was coming before the thick, aggressive smell of cedar overwhelmed him.
The scorching, punishing kiss came down fiercely like a sudden rainstorm, carrying a resolute momentum as if "the earth will be destroyed tomorrow".
It's not lingering, nor is it a test, it's gnawing, it's plundering, it's a concentrated outburst of three years of accumulated longing, pain, resentment and panic.
Lu Yu's lips, scorching with heat, brute-forcedly pried open his teeth, which had been slightly parted by shock, and thrust forward, sweeping in. The force was as if he wanted to devour him, even his soul.
“Hmm…”
Lin Che was caught off guard, and his already alcohol-dizzy brain became even more confused.
The strong masculine scent mixed with the familiar cedar smell and a hint of alcohol emanating from him collided and fermented violently in the narrow hallway.
He was forced to hold his head back and endure it, with the back of his head pressed against the cold door panel, and his body was pinned down by Lu Yu's tall and strong body, unable to move.
The feeling of lack of oxygen and the intense sensory stimulation made his vision go dark and his hands and feet went weak. He could only rely on instinct and weakly grabbed the crisp and expensive suit fabric on Lu Yu's waist with his hands, his fingertips sinking deeply into it.
Lu Yu's kiss lacked any tenderness; it was more like a silent expression of venting and affirmation. His arms were wrapped around Lin Che's waist and back like an iron hoop, nearly strangling him.
In the darkness, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the two people leaning over to kiss.
After an unknown amount of time, in the extreme lack of oxygen and confusion, Lin Che finally struggled to turn his head away, getting a chance to breathe.
He took deep breaths, his chest heaving violently, and the moisture in his eyes condensed even more due to the intense stimulation and feeling of suffocation, almost overflowing.
With the dim light coming in from the window, Lu Yu finally saw the face that he had imprisoned on the door panel and that he missed so much.
Lin Che gasped with his mouth slightly open, his fair cheeks flushed with the color of drunkenness and lack of oxygen.
The most terrible thing was those eyes - wet, covered with a thick layer of mist, the corners of the eyes were red, and the long eyelashes were wet with tears and stuck together in clumps.
In the dim light, it is surprisingly bright, as if it is filled with crushed starlight.
He just looked straight at Lu Yu through the dim light, without any words or dodging, just looking at him silently and intently.
Without any warning, tears slid down the red corners of his eyes, one by one, hotly falling on Lu Yu's arms that were restraining him, and also on Lu Yu's suddenly tightened heart.
All of Lu Yu's actions, all of his violence, all of his anxiety and complex emotions that had been pent up for three years were completely nailed to the spot at this moment by these eyes filled with tears that looked straight into the depths of his soul.
His boiling blood seemed to cool down for a moment.
The arm that was pinching Lin Che's waist unconsciously loosened its grip a little. His Adam's apple rolled violently, as if something invisible was strangling his throat, making even breathing difficult.
Those deep eyes, now filled with turbulent waves, were fixed on Lin Che's tear-soaked face. Something in them was struggling, shattering, and reorganizing frantically.
Lin Che felt the hand covering his eyes. His palm was burning hot, covered with calluses, and trembling slightly.
The sudden darkness magnifies other senses infinitely.
Lin Che was trapped between Lu Yu's scorching embrace and the cold door panel. There was absolute darkness before his eyes, and only Lu Yu's heavy, suppressed breathing, which sprayed on his forehead again and again, hot and rapid.
No one spoke.
The darkness magnified all the senses. Lin Che felt that Lu Yu's other arm was still tightly wrapped around his waist. Although the strength had loosened a little, it was still firm and would not be broken free.
Lu Yu's chest in front of him was heaving violently, pressing tightly against him through his thin shirt. The overwhelming scent of cedar enveloped him, and every heartbeat of the person in front of him was clearly audible.
In this suffocating darkness and extremely sensitive senses, Lin Che felt a warm and soft touch, which landed gently and carefully on his cheek.
Not lips, but a kiss.
Lu Yu's lips were no longer as violent as before, but were pressed very gently on his wet cheek.
The kiss followed the trajectory of the tears, moving down slowly and devoutly, bit by bit, kissing away the salty and wet marks.
Every touch seemed to carry a weak electric current, penetrating the skin and reaching the depths of Lin Che's chaotic heart.
Unspeakable pain.
Lin Che's body trembled slightly in the darkness. He subconsciously raised his free hand, seeking some kind of confirmation.
His fingertips, feeling slightly cool and damp, groped in the darkness, and finally touched his cheek with the slowness of drunkenness.
He felt warm liquid. It was the place where Lu Yu had just kissed, and there was still a slightly wet feeling from the kiss.
But that's not right.
The touch of his fingertips clearly told him that the warm liquid... was not residual moisture, but new, flowing, hot... tears?
Lin Che's fingertips trembled violently, and then froze as if they were burned.
Not his tears.
The tear marks on his face had clearly been kissed away by Lu Yu...?
And this new, constant, incredibly hot liquid...
An unbelievable thought, like a thunderclap, suddenly split Lin Che's consciousness, which was shrouded by alcohol and confusion!
His fingers, frozen in mid-air, trembled uncontrollably as he followed the source of the warm tears, groping upwards very slowly and tentatively.
His fingertips first touched Lu Yu's warm skin pressed against his cheek, and then, moving upwards, he felt the warm breath...
Finally, his fingertips finally touched the wet source under Lu Yu's tightly closed eyelids, from which hot liquid was constantly flowing.
At that moment, Lin Che's heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an icy hand and suddenly thrown into a furnace.
Lu Yu... is crying?
The impact of this realization was more powerful and devastating than the destructive kiss just now.
Like a heavy hammer, it shattered all of Lin Che's pre-set defenses and self-righteous strength.
That Lu Yu who is always powerful, always in control of everything, and always buries his emotions deep under the glacier...
At this moment, in the darkness, when I was hugging him, when I was kissing away his tears... I was crying silently and violently?
The hand covering his eyes was shaking more obviously, and one could even feel the muscles in the palm of his hand cramping.
Lu Yu seemed to be trying hard to suppress something, and a very subtle sob came from the depths of his throat, as if it was forced to be blocked in his chest.
Lin Che felt a surge of bitterness and sharp heartache that instantly overwhelmed everything.
He no longer cared about his blocked vision. The hand that was caressing Lu Yu's face used its fingertips to carefully wipe away the hot tears that kept flowing from the corners of Lu Yu's eyes over and over again.
In the darkness, he groped and tiptoed slightly, and based on his feeling and memory, he clumsily and eagerly kissed Lu Yu's tightly pursed and slightly trembling lips.
"Lu Yu..."
Lin Che finally found his voice. It was extremely hoarse and had a strong nasal tone. It escaped from between his tightly pressed lips and teeth in a broken voice, so weak that it sounded like a sigh. "I... I'm back... I'm back..."
The hand that was covering Lin Che's eyes finally slid down weakly and hung at his side.
The darkness faded, and the dim light from outside the window came into view again.
Lin Che finally saw Lu Yu's face clearly.
There was no exaggerated expression on that handsome, almost fierce face; his jawline was still taut and his lips were tightly pursed. But his deep eyes were now a terrifying red, bloodshot.
Lu Yu just stood there calmly, his tall figure blocking out most of the light, his deep eyes staring quietly at Lin Che.
The joy of regaining what was lost.
The longing goes deep into the bone marrow.
He didn't say anything, but suddenly tightened his arms, hugging Lin Che deeper into his arms, so tightly that there was no gap.
Lu Yu's chin rested heavily on Lin Che's neck, his hot tears soaked Lin Che's collar and skin, and his hot breath sprayed on the sensitive side of Lin Che's neck.
Lin Che was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, but he did not struggle at all. He just hugged Lu Yu's broad but slightly trembling back with the same strength, his fingers deeply embedded in Lu Yu's straight suit jacket.
In the small hallway, all that remained were the two figures hugging each other tightly, and Lu Yu's broken sobs suppressed in his throat. The sound was not loud, but it shook Lin Che's soul to the point of trembling.
He is back.
It turns out that both waiting and being waited for are so bone-wrenching and heart-searing.

"Drink some water." Lin Che placed a cup of warm water in front of Lu Yu. The tall figure of the man sitting on the sofa in the living room made the single apartment arranged by the school for Lin Che look small.
Lu Yu didn't touch the glass of water.
His tall body was sunken into the not-so-wide fabric sofa, almost occupying the entire single seat, making the single apartment allocated by the school seem even more cramped.
He frowned, his eyes sweeping across the small living room, the open kitchenette, the tightly closed bedroom door, and finally landing back on Lin Che's face.
"Have you been living here all this time?" His voice was low and full of obvious displeasure.
"Yes, it's a teacher's apartment arranged by the school." Lin Che sat down next to him on the other end of the sofa, trying to sound casual and relaxed. "It's nice to live alone. It's quiet."
"Very good?" Lu Yu seemed to be stung by this word and turned his head to look at him suddenly, "Have you never thought about going home at all?" The questioning tone was filled with the grievance and uneasiness that had been churning for three years.
Lin Che felt nervous when he looked at her, and hurriedly explained, "No! I just... want to arrange all my work before looking for you. I'm new here and have a lot of chores to do. The lab project has just started, and I don't want to cause you any trouble..." His voice gradually lowered, with a hint of cautious temptation.
"Trouble?" Lu Yu stood up suddenly, as if he had heard something ridiculous. Without saying anything, he grabbed Lin Che's wrist with an undeniable force. "Come home with me. Now."
Lin Che stumbled as he was pulled. Looking at the almost childishly stubborn expression on Lu Yu's face, he felt a pang of pain and tenderness in his heart, and was a bit amused. He grabbed Lu Yu's shoulders with his backhand and, with a little force, pushed him back onto the sofa.
I also fell onto my side, like a tired cat, resting my head on the soft pillow on the back of the sofa. I let out a long breath and closed my eyes. My thick eyelashes cast a light shadow under my eyes, and there was an unshakable fatigue between my brows.
"Lu Yu..." He closed his eyes, his voice soft and nasal, sounding like a spoiled child, "Have you eaten?"
Lu Yu was stunned by his sudden lying down. His tense body had not yet completely relaxed. He subconsciously said "hmm", but his eyes stayed on his closed face.
"I'm so hungry..." Lin Che's voice dragged out, with a hint of pity, "Can you cook me a bowl of egg noodles?" He suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and turned his whole face towards Lu Yu.
The pair of eyes that were just filled with moisture and fatigue were now surprisingly bright. With an undisguised, childish and cunning smile, they looked straight into Lu Yu's deep eyes, with a hint of coquettishness.
"I want the eggs fried thoroughly, golden and crispy on both sides, with bubbly whites... you know." As he spoke, he moved his body very naturally, and the furry head rested on Lu Yu's strong thighs in a dignified manner, and even found a comfortable position to rub against it.
Lu Yu was still weighing in his mind whether to just carry the person away to save trouble, or to just... use a more direct and simple method to make him go home with him.
No matter which option you choose, the ultimate goal is only one - to go home.
But Lin Che didn't give him the chance to execute it.
The furry head rested casually on his legs, rubbing against the fabric of his suit trousers with the faint scent of shampoo, like a cat that finally found a comfortable nest and was able to lie down and eat.
The eyes on her upturned face were surprisingly bright, with a sly smile, looking straight into his eyes, with a bit of arrogance and shamelessness.
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't say anything, Lin Che stretched out his slightly cool and wet index finger.
The fingertips first gently scraped across Lu Yu's taut jawline, with a tentative and almost mischievous meaning.
Then, the finger boldly moved upwards, and the fingertips scratched his chin twice lightly with a motion almost like a purring cat.
Lu Yu lost all his temper in an instant. How could he bear to use force on the kitten?
A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body from the place where his chin was touched, instantly shattering all his tough calculations and tense nerves.
“…I really can’t do anything about you.”
Lu Yu let out a sigh of complete surrender. He raised his hand resignedly, and with unconcealed fondness, his large palm covered Lin Che's head. He rubbed the soft hair vigorously, but his movements were unnaturally gentle.
