Chapter 21 I prefer sleeping naked
However, Su Yueming waited from morning till night but Wang Yan never said he would see him off.
Su Yueming had some questions and some hesitation.
After Wang Yan fed him dinner, Su Yueming couldn't resist any longer.
Aren't you going to see me off when I leave?
Su Yueming wondered again if Wang Yan was also reluctant to part with him.
Wang Yan paused in his work of clearing the dishes, his eyes swirling with a mixture of emotions.
As expected, Su Yueming couldn't wait to ask further.
He still wanted to leave; everything he said was a lie.
"You want to leave?"
Wang Yan spoke as if torturing himself, dropping the spoon into the bowl with a crisp sound.
"I don't want to leave."
Su Yueming gave an honest answer.
Wang Yan smirked and looked up at Su Yueming: "Perfect, I won't let you leave either."
After the initial shock, an overwhelming joy rushed towards Su Yueming, and she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Really?"
However, when this reached Wang Yan's ears, he interpreted it as Su Yueming's shock and surprise.
"right."
Wang Yan nodded, a gesture he considered cruel.
Su Yueming shook his head slightly; happiness had come too quickly.
It made him so happy he was dizzy.
"You won't let me leave because... because you've fallen for me?" Su Yueming pressed, for this was the answer he most wanted to know.
A dim lamp cast a warm glow over the bedside, illuminating Wang Yan's face.
His long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, like a butterfly about to take flight.
"Does your stomach still hurt today?"
Wang Yan changed the subject and spoke truthfully.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
As long as he doesn't leave, he feels no pain anywhere; in fact, he's full of energy.
Wang Yan nodded, his worries completely put to rest.
"Are you concerned about me?" Su Yueming turned his head and continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
I hope to hear the answer I want from Wang Yan.
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat for two seconds after hearing Su Yueming's words, and he avoided Su Yueming's gaze.
"Think whatever you want."
Wang Yan was unwilling to talk any further.
“Alright.” Su Yueming didn’t insist. He nodded. “Then I’ll take it as you showing concern for me.”
Wang Yan's eyelashes fluttered incessantly. How come he had never noticed how shameless Su Yueming was before?
Su Yueming didn't notice anything amiss; he even moved his body closer to the edge of the bed and patted the spot beside him with his fingers.
"Go to bed and sleep."
"I... can sleep on the sofa."
Wang Yan quickly refused.
Previously, Su Yueming might have slept in bed because he had nightmares or had a stomachache, but now he has no reason to sleep in bed anymore.
What's even more frightening is that Wang Yan fears he might lose control in the middle of the night and do something inappropriate to Su Yueming.
Su Yueming tensed his jaw in displeasure.
"You like sleeping on the sofa so much, is it because the sofa is more comfortable than the bed?" Su Yueming asked sharply.
A sofa is certainly not as good as a bed, but Chi Yan still said, "It's about the same."
"Since it's about the same, why not sleep in the same bed?" Su Yueming paused. "Or are you afraid I'll have ulterior motives towards you?"
"Of course not."
Wang Yan waved his hand hastily.
"So why not sleep in bed?" Su Yueming asked, a question that seemed to pierce the soul.
Su Yueming was a master debater; he defeated Wang Yan with just a few words.
"Because I also like men."
Wang Yan closed his eyes, forced to utter these words, hoping to dissuade Su Yueming from his invitation.
As expected, Su Yueming fell silent.
Wang Yan did not feel relieved; instead, he felt a lump in his throat, unable to rise or fall.
"good evening."
Wang Yan didn't want to stay any longer. He lowered his head, uttered those words, and started to walk towards the sofa.
"So what?" Su Yueming suddenly called out to him, his smile somewhat dimmed. "I believe in your character."
After all, Wang Yan didn't break his vow even with such seduction, which shows that Wang Yan is even more virtuous than a true gentleman.
Wang Yan stopped and turned to look at him.
The orange-yellow light enveloped Su Yueming; he had really overestimated him.
"bring it on."
Su Yueming extended another invitation to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan's gaze fell on the empty space next to him, and his mind automatically recalled the comfort of sleeping next to him.
His willpower to persevere was beginning to crumble, and he kept swallowing hard.
"All right."
Wang Yan closed his eyes tightly, and finally gave in.
Desire triumphed over restraint.
Upon hearing that he had agreed, Su Yueming was overjoyed and even struggled to straighten the pillow with his hands.
Wang Yan did not lie down immediately, his voice somewhat unsteady: "I'll go take a shower first."
"Take a shower?" Su Yueming repeated, "Is your hand better?"
After being reminded, Wang Yan moved his fingers. The wound had already scabbed over, so it didn't hinder his movements at all.
"It's nothing."
Su Yueming nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Yan stumbled into the bathroom, almost touching his own body. Although this wasn't the first time he was going to share a bed with Su Yueming, this time he was fully awake, and all his emotions were amplified.
For example, shame.
Wang Yan recalled the lingering smell of barbecue skewers on him from high school, and he suddenly became afraid that Su Yueming would find him repulsive.
The showerhead continuously washed over Wang Yan's body, water droplets slowly rolling down his chin, the light enveloping his pale skin.
In the steamy bathroom, he realized that the pain from the past had never disappeared. Whenever he showed any vulnerability, those painful memories would sprout like green shoots after the rain and grow into towering trees in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yan raised his hand to turn off the shower and let out a heavy sigh.
Even if he takes a hundred baths, he can't wash away the past, he can't wash away the past of being disliked, and he can't wash away the identity that matches Su Yueming.
This realization caused Wang Yan pain once again.
He regretted agreeing to share a bed with Su Yueming.
But he didn't have the courage to say he wanted to back out, so Wang Yan came up with a clever plan.
Ignoring the pajamas and pajama bottoms lying to the side, Wang Yan took down the bath towel hanging on the wall and simply wrapped it around his waist to cover his private parts.
He went out wrapped in a bath towel and slept with Su Yueming.
If Su Yueming feels physically unwell, he will be free from this burden, and Su Yueming will no longer be able to invite him to sleep in his bed.
This is killing two birds with one stone.
Wang Yan pushed open the bathroom door without any mental preparation.
His thin, emaciated body was exposed to the air as he slowly approached the bedside.
The moisture from Wang Yan's body, mixed with the scent of shower gel, filled Su Yueming's nostrils, and Su Yueming's face turned red in an instant.
However, before he could speak, Wang Yan's voice rang in his ears: "I prefer to sleep naked in bed, can you accept that?"
