Chapter 57 A strange confession
When Xie Liang woke up, he found Xu He lying on the bed with him. He remembered the scene before he fainted and thought that it must have been Xu He who helped him into the bedroom.
Xu He's facial features are very three-dimensional, with high brows. Lying quietly, he looks very gentle, without the usual alienation and indifference.
It was the first time that Xie Liang saw Xu He up close. Although they had slept together many times before, he had never paid attention.
He always knew that Xu He was good-looking, and now it seemed that she was even more than good-looking.
Xu He's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked like she was about to wake up. Xie Liang quickly looked away, stood up, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and walked out of the room.
After looking at the date, Xie Liang realized that two days had passed in the real world.
Xie Liang walked to the balcony, stretched, turned around and looked at the several large goldfish that had been raised in the fish tank for several years. They were still chubby and swam around with their tails curled up like big skirts.
Xie Liang picked up the fish food next to the fish tank and threw some in. When they saw it, they swam around happily and scrambled for the food.
After a while, Xu He walked out of the bedroom. He leaned against the balcony door, looked at Xie Liang sitting on the balcony chair, and whispered, "I ordered the porridge you like."
"ah?"
"Are you thinking about something?"
"Well, I was thinking about Li Jianguo..."
Xu He understood what Xie Liang was thinking and whispered, "He broke the rules."
"Is it because of that woman?"
Xu He: "I think so."
It wasn't long before the takeaway arrived. It was Xie Liang's favorite bird's nest porridge, as well as a few lighter dishes.
Looking at Xu He who was serving dishes, Xie Liang felt the feeling of being taken care of again. It seemed that a mysterious warm current was flowing evenly towards his beating heart, and Xie Liang felt happy.
Xu He noticed his gaze and smiled slightly, saying, "Drink porridge. Why are you in a daze?" After saying that, he scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it carefully, and brought it to Xie Liang's lips.
Xie Liang's face flushed: "Well... I'll do it myself." He took the spoon and lowered his head to drink the porridge.
After drinking the porridge, Xie Liang and Xu He formed a bond, and this time it was finally Xu He's turn to have the red mark on his hand.
A month passed like this. Xu He went back to Xie Liang's upstairs suite at night and came down to Xie Liang's house to cook during the day.
After eating, Xie Liang would read books and play games in the study, while Xu He would sit next to Xie Liang with a notebook and tinker with some financial content.
Although the two of them didn't talk much when they were together, the atmosphere was harmonious and comfortable.
At around eight o'clock that morning, Xie Liang was awakened by a rhythmic knock on the door while he was still dreaming. He forced himself to get up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and walked towards the door.
Just as Xie Liang was about to open the door, he suddenly remembered that almost no one would knock on his door at this time, so he looked out through the peephole.
Seeing that it was Long Qingye outside the door, he opened the door and said, "What do you want to talk to me about so early in the morning?"
Long Qingye looked lazy, but his brows seemed full of fatigue, and his peach blossom eyes were full of dark circles.
"I can't come to you if there's nothing wrong?"
Xie Liang rolled his eyes at him: "You'd better be busy. I hate people who disturb my sleep the most."
"Are you going to keep me standing at the door? That's not hospitality."
Xie Liang moved aside and closed the door after he came in.
After Long Qingye came in, he went straight to the sofa in the living room and lay down. The sofa was soft and there seemed to be a cool smell in the air. He felt comfortable for a rare time and couldn't help but sigh.
“Nice sofa.”
This sofa set is the most expensive of all Xie Liang's furniture. When they first went to IKEA, his mother sat down on it and was so comfortable that she didn't want to get up, so his father gritted his teeth and ordered a set.
Xie Liang ignored him: "Hey! You didn't come here just to sleep, did you?"
Long Qingye squinted his eyes and said lazily: "Shh...be quiet."
Seeing that his eyes were as dark as if he hadn't slept for eight hundred years, Xie Liang stopped talking. Xie Liang sat down on the other side of the sofa, intending to wait for Long Qingye to wake up before asking him what he wanted to talk to him about.
Xie Liang was playing mobile games, waiting and waiting, and an hour passed...
He stayed up late last night playing games almost all night, and was woken up by Long Qingye early in the morning. As he waited, he gradually felt sleepy, and soon he fell asleep on his back on the sofa.
Not long after Xie Liang fell asleep, Long Qingye slowly opened his squinting peach blossom eyes.
Long Qingye stared closely at Xie Liang, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, like some large animal staring at its prey, his eyes full of possessiveness.
Long Qingye stood up and walked towards Xie Liang quietly. He lay on his back beside Xie Liang, with his head less than a centimeter away from Xie Liang's neck, smelling the scent of Xie Liang.
Long Qingye hasn't had a good night's sleep since he came out of the dungeon. Insomnia makes him anxious and irritable.
In the past, he would fall asleep most easily after venting his desires with different men. However, these days, he almost exhausted himself and still couldn't fall asleep.
He thought of Xie Liang and the kind of peaceful sleep he had never experienced before when he held Xie Liang in his arms, so he couldn't wait to find him.
After a while, the drowsiness that only came when leaning against Xie Liang came over Long Qingye again. He leaned against Xie Liang and gradually fell asleep.
Xie Liang had a dream in which he dreamt that his shoulder was hit by a huge rock, and it felt heavy and numb. The waves of discomfort in his shoulder woke him up.
As soon as Xie Liang opened his eyes, he saw Long Qingye burying his head on his shoulder, looking like he was sleeping soundly. No wonder he had such a dream just now. His entire shoulder was numb from being pressed by Long Qingye.
Xie Liang pushed Long Qingye away and murmured, "This guy really came here to sleep."
Xie Liang was no longer sleepy, so he picked up his phone and started playing games again. He became addicted to the game.
It was not until the sound of entering a password suddenly came from the gate that Xie Liang realized that it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
It’s Xu He coming over.
Xu He usually comes to Xie Liang's house to cook around this time. Xie Liang is usually still in bed around this time and is too lazy to open the door, so he simply tells Xu He the password to his home.
The sound of the door opening woke Long Qingye up. He leaned lazily on the sofa and gave Xu He who was walking over an almost sarcastic smile.
Xu He walked straight to Xie Liang and sat down. "Why did you get up so early today?"
Xie Liang put down his phone, rubbed his dry eyes and said, "It's still this guy. I don't know how he knew my address."
Xu He smiled faintly: "It's not surprising that despicable people often do despicable things."
Long Qingye was so angry that he laughed: "Tsk! Saying I'm despised makes you look so righteous?"
Whenever these two were together, there was always an inexplicable war between them. Xie Liang quickly changed the subject: "What on earth do you want to talk to me about?"
Long Qingye looked at Xu He with an ambiguous expression: "Whatever he wants to see you for, I will see you for whatever he wants."
Xie Liang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Oh, I see. Then go quickly. I'm hungry."
Upon hearing this, Xu He walked towards the refrigerator, took out the ingredients purchased yesterday, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Xie Liang: "Didn't you say you should come for whatever he said you would? Hurry up and go."
Long Qingye looked at Xie Liang sadly.
Xie Liang didn't say anything and ignored him.
After a while, Long Qingye reluctantly walked into the kitchen. Not long after he entered, crackling sounds were heard from the kitchen, interspersed with his roars from time to time.
Just when Xie Liang thought they were about to fight in the kitchen, the kitchen became quiet again.
Less than two minutes into the silence, Xu He's slightly louder but still steady voice suddenly rang out from the kitchen: "Get out!"
After a while, Long Qingye came out of the kitchen with a gloomy face. He walked over to Xie Liang and sat down, saying, "Xu He bullied me..."
Xie Liang looked at him and smiled, "Let him bully you, he's not bullying me anyway."
Xu He prepared three dishes and a soup. Xie Liang smelled the aroma of the dishes and ran to the dining table to sit down. He reached out and grabbed a piece of fried beef and put it into his mouth without caring about the heat.
"Delicious!" Xie Liang said vaguely.
Xu He handed the prepared meal to Xie Liang: "You are hungry, eat more."
Long Qingye then sat down on the dining chair and waved to Xu He as a matter of course, "Where's my meal?"
Xu He didn't even look at him. He prepared the meal and started eating.
Xie Liang said: "Go get your own food."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely tense. Long Qingye kept finding fault with Xu He while he ate, complaining that the beef was overcooked and the vegetables were undercooked. Neither Xie Liang nor Xu He paid any attention to him.
After dinner, Xu He cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to work.
Xie Liang touched his bloated stomach and said to Long Qingye, "You should wash the dishes."
"I wash the dishes? Are you kidding?" Long Qingye said with a look of disgust.
Xie Liang said impartially: "That's fair. Brother He cooks and you wash the dishes."
"He himself didn't want my help. Besides, who would let the guests wash the dishes?" Long Qingye said resentfully.
"Yes! Me!"
After Xu He finished washing the dishes and came out, the three of them sat back on the sofa. The atmosphere was very strange.
Xu He broke the silence: "What are you doing here?"
Long Qingye glanced at him and said nothing.
Xie Liang: "If you don't say anything, then it's okay. If it's okay, go back quickly."
Long Qingye lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Xie Liang, I like you, so..."
Xu He sneered and was not surprised at all by Long Qingye's words.
"Ah?" Xie Liang was confused. What kind of joke was this guy playing?
"I want you to be my partner and form a bond with me." Long Qingye said.
"Get out." Xu He said.
Xie Liang said seriously: "I am a man, and I have formed a bond with Xu He. Well, you should go back."
Long Qingye seemed to have expected his refusal and was not surprised: "Gender is not a barrier. Don't rush to answer me. I can meet your basic material needs. In other words, I can give you a lot of money."
Xu He said expressionlessly: "Are you going to leave or not?"
"I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now." Long Qingye said as he stood up and walked towards the door. Halfway through, he turned back to Xu He and said, "Xu, stop pestering Xiaoliang. There's no difference between you and me."
