Chapter 35 Chapter 35 What were you doing when you called me?
Buzz——
A burst of tinnitus.
Why didn’t I realize how close Fu Rouyun was to me before?
The light, warm breath brushed gently across her earlobe. Without turning around, Cen Xue knew that they were almost as close as a pair.
Fu Rouyun said, "Brother, how long do you want to deceive yourself?"
What a timely and insightful blow.
It hit the mark completely.
Slowly putting down the phone, Cen Xue lowered her head, her shoulder-length hair obscuring his expression and also taking the opportunity to avoid the heat that was repeatedly teasing her ears.
After an unsettling silence, he said, "When did it start?"
Fu Rouyun: "From the first time we met."
It’s actually—this early in the morning.
Cen Xue was very confused.
When Fu Rouyun's feelings for him were made public, his first reaction was to escape.
Fu Rouyun easily hugged Cen Xue's shoulders from the side and back. With his body, he could easily hug Cen Xue.
He rested his forehead on Cen Xue's shoulder as usual, but the meaning behind it was completely reversed, leaving only the ambiguity between two adults gradually growing.
This is a blatant teasing and possession of the person you like.
Cen Xue did not refuse, he thought his behavior was allowed and expected.
Even Fu Rouyun hadn't expected this day to come so soon. He complained with a hint of spoiled affection, "So you were awake that day, why didn't you expose me right then and there?"
"Brother, I really like you."
"I fell in love with you from the first time we met. The second time we met was like a dream and destiny. I can't live without you."
"Even if they say I'm like a dog, so what? I'm willing to do it. Whatever you say is what it is. Hasn't it been like this for the past few years—"
"...Did you misunderstand me because of my attitude when we first met?"
Cen Xue suddenly interrupted him, and her attitude was completely different from his eagerness to confide in her.
"I was so proactive in showing concern at that time only because you looked like a younger brother I knew."
Well, it turns out that the person he wanted to see through was also younger.
Fu Rouyun's expression froze. He had barely managed to endure the substitute's behavior.
But he still insisted: "No, it's because you are such a good person that I..."
Cen Xue: "No matter who you asked for help at that time, they would have helped you, right?"
Fu Rouyun: "But you asked me on your own initiative!"
Cen Xue: "That's because you followed me. I couldn't help but care. If you were someone with bad intentions, would I let you follow me back to the dormitory?"
Fu Rouyun opened his mouth, unable to argue.
His excited heartbeat slowed down, more like being torn apart - on the other end was Cen Xue's tactful rejection.
In the end, he could only say blankly: "You know I won't do that..."
"Ruyun, listen to me."
"I don't want to hear it."
“You must listen!”
Fu Rouyun loosened his grip a little, his face showing a bit of hurt.
This was the first time Cen Xue spoke to him in such a serious and admonishing tone. It was like a blow to the head, catching him off guard.
His eyes couldn't see through the damn hair that obscured her face, so he couldn't see Cen Xue's expression.
"…Listen to me."
Realizing that her tone was wrong, Cen Xue slowed down again.
His fingers were twisted together and clenched anxiously, with the phone acting as a kind of stress-relieving object, moving slowly and mechanically. Fu Rouyun looked away after just one glance, which only made him feel more anxious.
After some deliberation, Cen Xue finally said, "Perhaps my ambiguous attitude gave you an inappropriate impression."
"I just think of you as my younger brother. I'm sorry, I didn't realize that such a distance was inappropriate. After all, you are an adult. I will be more careful in the future."
"I just fell in love on impulse—I think, as long as I recognize it early enough, it's not too late. Besides, there's a several-year age difference between us, and you don't know my past... Rouyun, are you listening?"
Fu Rouyun said with a heavy nasal tone: "I don't want to listen anymore."
"Unless you look me in the eye and say 'I don't like you,'" he said, "I'm not going to believe a word of it."
As pitiful as a puppy locked outside the house and drenched in the rain.
A minute ago he was still excited about his master's love, but now even that sweetness is gone.
Cen Xue: "...I don't think this is necessary."
"have."
Fu Rouyun said firmly, "If you really don't like me, you wouldn't make so many excuses."
"Were you hesitating just now? Were you considering it? And then you felt that I was not suitable, right? Because I am the son of your employer, you are letting the Fu family down."
He tightly grasped Cen Xue's forearm. He didn't know whether his palm was too big or Cen Xue was too slender, but he was able to cover it completely with more than half a finger left.
But overall, it is still much better than during the draft period.
Fu Rouyun took a quick look and saw that Cen Xue's frame was too small. Soft flesh was squeezed out from between his fingers, slightly pink. All of this was the result of his hard work and effort in feeding her over the past month.
Now everything he had devoted his heart to was about to abandon him.
It was an incomparable panic. He had become accustomed to being with Cen Xue. If he was separated from her, he would rather die.
His eyes and nose felt sore, and Fu Rouyun tried to pull Cen Xue over to face him, but it was difficult.
Cen Xue was rejecting him.
Realizing this, he was devastated! In the past few years, Cen Xue had been completely obedient to him. When had she ever been so cold and distant?
“You can’t…!”
Fu Rouyun took a few rapid breaths.
"You can't give me hope and avoid suspicion at the same time. I thought you liked me a little bit."
He almost begged, "Don't be silent, don't be silent about me."
He could no longer restrain himself and suddenly threw Cen Xue onto the sofa. The world was spinning and the face of the person under him was finally revealed. Before he could get over the sudden surprise, Fu Rouyun put his hands next to his ears, blocking out the halo of the ceiling light.
It was getting dark in Cen Xue's time.
"Look at me," Fu Rouyun said to him, finally having no place to hide. "Cen Xue, since you want to refuse, then look at me as I say it again."
Cen Xue said with difficulty: "I just think you should think more about it... If it's just an impulse -"
Fu Rouyun grabbed his hand and pushed it downwards: "Do you still think I was just impulsive?"
I was impulsive, but not that kind of impulse.
Cen Xue: "...!"
Cen Xue gasped: "...?!!"
Fu Rouyun—how dare he?!
Cen Xue actually felt dizzy for a moment due to lack of oxygen, and her vision went numb. Suddenly, the neighbor's pet appeared in her mind again - why was it that damn dog again? After the extremely cute and adorable nursing period, if it stood up now, it would probably knock him down.
Animals like this like to hold sticks in their mouths.
The bigger and longer the wooden stick, the better. Once you find it, you won't let go. You should show off the stick and seek praise from others.
Cen Xue did this once. It chased him and asked him to look at a sacred and majestic wooden stick or club. If Cen Xue ignored it, it would keep running around his feet until he tripped.
As the size of the creature grows, the stick will also become larger.
Cen Xue had to hold it, but she couldn't say anything to praise it.
He felt like he was hallucinating, why was it still getting bigger?
Summer clothes were thin, and the hallucinations intensified. She could feel a few subtle throbbings. Could wood have blood vessels? Could it throb? Cen Xue didn't know.
He struggled to break free from Fu Rouyun's grip, but he didn't know where he touched. Fu Rouyun groaned and buried his head in Cen Xue's shoulder.
Cen Xue... Cen Xue didn't dare to move.
The muffled groan was followed by an unbearable sigh, which made people's heart beat faster.
Instead, it was Fu Rouyun who let go first.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Is this proof enough?"
Cen Xue stared at the ceiling, the bright lights dazzling him.
He closed his eyes, feeling somewhat powerless, his face flushed as if blood was about to drip: "There are still many things about me that you don't understand."
"I was ignorant before and had two relationships."
——When he said it, it seemed as if the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was finally released. Cen Xue then realized that this was the first time he had talked about the past with others. He had endured it for too long.
"The first time was with Lu Yanxi, and the second time was with Yan Pei. The difference between them was less than a week. I was too impulsive back then, so I asked for trouble..."
Fu Rouyun interrupted him: "Do I deserve it?"
Cen Xue was speechless: "What?"
"Just because I was born a few years later and am a few years younger, does that mean I deserve to be immature, inconsiderate, and inconsiderate enough?"
He questioned, his voice muffled because he was still buried in Cen Xue's shoulder.
"Do I deserve to be later than them?"
An accusation of jealousy.
Cen Xue suddenly felt a little amused and helpless: "That's not what I meant."
But Fu Rouyun said, "If it was me who was in love with you back then, I would never have made you so sad."
The sincerity of youth is his most advantageous weapon. He gave almost everything he had to the other party, even taking on all the responsibilities he had in those days.
Cen Xue is the best, yet there are people who don't cherish her.
He pulled himself up, revealing his tear-blurred eyes, "I wish they would die!"
The most sincere greetings.
This strangely pleased Cen Xue. His furrowed brows relaxed a little, and he chuckled helplessly.
Cen Xue sighed.
The strange alienation finally disappeared.
Fu Rouyun sniffed and continued, "So I said use me. I'm very useful - I'm willing to be your excuse and shield. Wasn't it me who helped you escape from the problems they created a few times before? I could do it before, and I can do it after. Brother, I want to provide you with greater value -"
He didn't want Cen Xue to cry silently like that for the third time.
"...I can do more, bro."
"I just want you to see me as a man—is that really that hard?"
After eagerly showing off his achievements, Fu Rouyun lowered his head sadly.
He felt pitiful and aggrieved, but he seemed to be keeping a few eyes on the other person's reaction.
But there is no more precious and passionate token of allegiance than these values.
Cen Xue was only in his twenties, and his past experiences had only made him quiet and difficult to be moved, but it was not impossible.
At least she should be like Fu Rouyun, who threw herself into the mud and lifted him up with all her heart.
After a period of stalemate, Cen Xue softened her attitude.
"Okay," he sighed, "I'll give it a try..."
Fu Rouyun looked up in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
The next second, he could no longer control himself and choked a few times, as if he didn't want Cen Xue to witness such an embarrassing and embarrassing moment. She leaned over and hugged him again, burying her head deeply in the side of his neck.
Wet and joyful tears slid down Cen Xue's collarbone and then into her clothes.
They were so tightly pressed together that even the air conditioner had no effect. Cen Xue patted his shoulder unhappily and tried to push him, but it wouldn't move.
He deliberately said, "Would a 'mature man' be like this? Huh?"
Fu Rouyun's response was to hug him tighter.
"Hmm." Cen Xue gasped instinctively, just like a doll making a "chirp" sound when being squeezed.
Fu Rouyun was too eager when he knocked him down just now, and he didn't have time to adjust his position.
Now his right leg was bent and leaning against the side of the sofa, while his left leg was hanging over the edge of the sofa.
Fu Rouyun was practically using her body to force his legs apart.
Fortunately, Cen Xue is flexible enough.
It's just that the knee of his left leg has no support, so he can't exert any strength and can only maintain an angle. However, his proportions are good, so his toes can touch the ground, but he can't step firmly.
So the instep of my feet subconsciously tensed up.
Whenever Fu Rouyun moved, his dangling calves would also sway slightly.
Cen Xue: "Alright, enough is enough."
Just as they finished saying this, there was a vibration above their heads, which scared them both.
Fu Rouyun pressed closer.
Cen Xue was frightened, and his perception was not wrong.
Someone is pressing against your thigh. No, you haven't calmed down yet?
Before he had time to think about it, Cen Xue subconsciously found the source of the vibration and solved it - someone called him.
When the call was connected, Cen Xue realized that her current state seemed inappropriate.
But it was too late, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Hello, who are you?"
"Axue, it's me."
...Lu Yanxi?
Soon Lu Yanxi continued: "I sent you a text message before, and I thought you saved my number."
"Really?" Cen Xue was suspicious. He had no idea that Fu Rouyun had seen the message and it had become read. "Maybe I missed it... What do you want from me?"
“I saw the trending search.”
Lu Yanxi said, "I was a little anxious just now, and wanted to change the focus, so I mentioned your name in the live interview-"
He seemed to be here to apologize.
There were some more tentative steps.
However, Cen Xue was completely unable to process the hidden meaning in these words.
Perhaps because they were too close and the volume of the phone receiver was a little loud, Fu Rouyun also heard the voice on the other end and recognized who it was - now he could openly say that it was his love rival.
How can it be possible that while the person you like is in your arms, you still have the energy to answer a call from another man?
If there were seven deadly sins, jealousy would definitely be Fu Rouyun's crown. He gritted his teeth and swallowed before taking revenge.
Cen Xue suddenly let out a hiss.
Fu Rouyun... was actually biting his neck!
I don’t know if it was intentional, but the location and direction are exactly the same as where Yan Pei left the kiss mark that day.
He wanted to avoid it, but was restrained by Fu Rouyun. Rather than being a rejection, the latter's relentless pursuit made it more like a tug of war that he enjoyed.
At the same time——deep inside, it was being delicately caressed.
The fabric of the pants piled up.
If you get any closer, even your own will be touched.
Cen Xue blushed and almost forgot that he was still on the phone.
Lu Yanxi's puzzled voice almost woke him up: "Axue, what's wrong?"
Cen Xue: "Nothing—ah...!"
"Am I... disturbing you while you're busy?"
Lu Yanxi seemed to realize something.
