Twenty-five feathers
The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant mixed with various medicines. It was not a pleasant smell and made Ye Linghan a little upset.
He sat on the bench outside Yin Chenbin's room. The cold feeling was a bit biting. He buried his head low, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
Vampires are not invincible. Even though they have a relatively long lifespan, will not die easily, and can heal themselves if injured, the bullet penetrated his heart.
The bullet was forced to explode inside Yin Chen's body. The skin on his chest could not withstand the impact and was torn from the inside out. Ye Linghan couldn't even imagine the pain.
But in order to avoid getting hurt, he chose to bear it all alone.
"Aren't you going in?" The voice came along with the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.
Ye Linghan raised his head and saw that it was Sun Mao coming over, and a smile forced itself on the corner of his mouth.
He stood up with the help of the armrest of the chair, looked at Yin Chen lying on the hospital bed through the glass on the door, and then shook his head slightly.
"No, I don't know how to face him."
He was a little scared. If Yin Chen was an ordinary person, they would have been separated by death by now. However, before this, he had been petty and had a cold war with the other party. If Yin Chen really had an accident, he would never forgive himself in his life.
Now, seeing Yin Chen lying safely on the bed, he began to think that it was because of him that the other party was injured so seriously, so he suddenly didn't dare to be brave anymore and wanted to retreat.
Sun Mao sighed, came to Ye Linghan, and looked at the man in the ward with him.
"The young master has always had you in his heart. He keeps an eye on your whereabouts every moment, fearing that something might happen to you. He is always decisive and cold in front of others. That's because he is in this position, and he has too much suffering and is helpless."
Sun Mao took a breath and continued, "But he is very soft towards you and has been silently giving to you. The reason he doesn't show it is because he is afraid that someone will find fault with him and hurt you."
Ye Linghan looked at Sun Mao in astonishment, his thin lips slightly parted, his throat seemed to be clenched tightly, and he couldn't make a sound.
Sun Mao slowed down his tone and said, "Go and see the young master. He has been fighting alone in the heights and hasn't felt the love of others for a long time. I hope your coming can fill his heart with some warmth."
Having said that, Sun Mao suddenly laughed. Ye Linghan on the side was puzzled and looked at him with a slightly wary look in his eyes.
"You should like our young master, right?"
He was afraid that if he said too much, it would put pressure on Ye Linghan and be a bit like moral blackmail, so he couldn't help but ask more.
Ye Linghan blushed a little at his unreasonable words, but nodded honestly and admitted his feelings for Yin Chen.
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about. If the young master wakes up and sees you by his side, he will definitely be very happy."
This was the first time Ye Linghan heard Sun Mao say so many words. At the same time, he was very grateful to him for telling him these things, which allowed him to regain the courage to face Yin Chen.
After Sun Mao left, Ye Linghan pushed the door open and came to Yin Chen's ward, sitting beside his bed. The man on the bed had his eyes closed and his face was pale. The silver-white wolf tail made him look a bit wild even in his quiet state.
Ye Linghan wrapped his cold fingers with both hands. The other person's hands were very big, and Ye Linghan tried hard to hold them and put them to his lips.
Why on earth are you so nice to me?
Ye Linghan looked at Yin Chen and thought silently in his heart.
When a person is kind to another, he always has a purpose, but what is he seeking? He is willing to use his life as a bargaining chip.
There were only two of them in the huge ward. This area was Yin Chen's private property, so it was very quiet and no one would disturb them.
Ye Linghan gently kissed the other person's fingertips with thin calluses, listening to the gentle "tick-tick" sound of the heartbeat monitoring instrument.
Fortunately, his heart is still beating.
This is the most intuitive proof that Yin Chen is still alive.
Ye Linghan lifted the quilt and lay down beside Yin Chen. He turned sideways and stretched out a hand to gently cover Yin Chen's heart. There was thick gauze under his palm. He buried his face in the other's neck, smelled the faint fragrance on his body, and fell into a deep sleep.
While lying next to Yin Chen, Ye Linghan felt a rare peace in his heart. He did not have any strange dreams, so much so that he did not notice the departure of the person next to him at all.
Where is Yin Chenren?
In a daze, he suddenly remembered that the person next to him was missing. Ye Linghan shuddered and sat up instantly and looked around. After confirming that Yin Chen was not in the ward, he hurriedly got out of bed and stumbled towards the door.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard someone talking outside.
He looked through the window and saw Yin Chen and Sun Mao standing outside. The former was wearing the same hospital gown as himself and holding a bag in his hand.
Ye Linghan did not go out, but listened attentively.
"Master, we took Duan Jiu back for questioning, but he kept his mouth shut, and then..."
Sun Mao's voice became smaller and smaller, and Ye Linghan could not hear the rest of his words.
"Okay, I got it." Yin Chen's tone was flat, without any ups and downs.
Sun Mao continued, "By the way, Doctor Zhang said the operation was very successful. Can we have a…"
“Cough cough cough…”
Before Sun Mao finished speaking, Yin Chen suddenly started coughing violently, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Ye Linghan's heart tightened, his body was out of control, and he couldn't think about that person anymore, so he opened the door and rushed out.
"Yin Chen!"
The sudden sound startled Sun Mao. He didn't expect Ye Linghan to appear suddenly.
"How are you? Are you in pain? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ye Linghan supported Yin Chen and asked anxiously.
Yin Chen looked at Ye Linghan's anxious expression, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly, "I'm fine."
Sun Mao, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw this scene, and was amazed that his young master only showed his soft side when he saw Ye Linghan.
He watched the interaction between the two infatuatedly.
Ye Linghan wanted to touch Yin Chen's heart, but the other party mistakenly thought that he wanted to check the wound outside, so he dodged slightly.
"We're outside, don't make a fuss."
I'm so good...
The doting in his words left Sun Mao, who was standing beside him, stunned.
Ye Ling's face turned red instantly, and he silently pulled his hand back, "Then let's go back to the house." He supported Yin Chen's body, making him put as much weight on himself as possible.
"good."
Yin Chen looked back at Sun Mao, who instantly understood what his boss meant and quickly turned around and ran away.
The two returned to the ward, Yin Chen opened the bag in his hand and took out a lunch box from it.
"Try it quickly." He handed the chopsticks and spoon to Ye Linghan, his eyes full of anticipation.
Ye Linghan's eyes were slightly red, and he stared blankly at the person in front of him without answering.
At this time, one of them was sitting and the other was standing, looking at each other.
After a moment, Yin Chen lowered his hands with a wry smile.
But at the same time, Ye Linghan quickly stood up, hugged the other's waist, and buried his face in his chest.
Yin Chen was knocked back two steps by inertia, and then he steadily caught Ye Linghan who threw himself into his arms. He looked surprised at first, and then as if relieved, he hugged Ye Linghan back.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Without waiting for the person in his arms to speak, Yin Chen said to himself, "I thought... you wouldn't want to have physical contact with me anymore, so I never dared to touch you."
That kiss in the factory was a privilege he earned at the cost of his life.
Upon hearing this, Ye Linghan froze in place.
He actually...
Ye Linghan recalled everything that had just happened. It seemed that he was the one who initiated every physical contact, and when he supported her, he did so through her clothes. He really had never touched her before.
"Then your wound..."
This time when Ye Linghan reached out and touched him, Yin Chen did not dodge.
Through the cloth under my fingertips, I could clearly feel that there was still a thick layer of gauze wrapped around Yin Chen's chest.
It must be very uncomfortable to wrap it so thickly...
He felt even more distressed as he thought about it.
"I'm fine." Yin Chen allowed Ye Linghan to "check" him.
"I don't know what your feelings for me are, but I can be sure that I have liked you for a long time."
Yin Chen murmured softly.
The sudden confession made Ye Linghan a little at a loss. He stood there with a stiff back.
"Perhaps you've always harbored resentment about our relationship, but I've never thought of you that way. You're not what they call a 'blood slave.' In my heart, you've always been my family. But when I realized my true feelings for you, I wasn't willing to be just a family member in the ordinary sense."
Ye Linghan's apparent calmness was just to cover up the pounding of his heart. If he were to be monitored at this moment, his heart rate would definitely soar to 110.
When Ye Linghan was young, he had classmates who were vampires. When they knew that he was a blood slave, they would mock him. But since some time ago, those voices seemed to have disappeared and no one would say that to him anymore.
Could it be that the disappearance of those voices was due to Yin Chen putting pressure on them from behind, preventing them from saying that anymore?
It turns out that he has been protecting himself since that time.
Seeing that Ye Linghan remained silent, Yin Chen's expression showed a little disappointment, but his tone was still gentle.
"I can't remember how many hundreds of years I've lived, but the only thing that moves my heart is you."
Yin Chen paused, then continued solemnly, "Ye Linghan, I love you, not out of kinship, but because I want to be your lover. So, have you ever felt a little moved by me at some point?"
Ye Linghan's brain was buzzing and working randomly at this moment.
Did Yin Chen just say that he loves me?
Ye Linghan stared blankly at the person in front of him.
He wanted to answer that he was attracted to him too, and had been for a long time, but the numbness in his brain made him completely unable to control himself, and he couldn't say a single word.
"I..." Ye Linghan struggled, trying to make a sound. It was the only word he could say in shock.
Seeing Ye Linghan speak, Yin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was still willing to talk to him, at least he still had room for explanation.
He was not in a hurry to get a reply, but patiently gave the other party time to respond.
"I know there are many people who covet me, not just me as a person, but also my identity and status. Originally, I didn't dare get close to you because I was afraid that if those people knew you were my weak spot, they would use you to threaten me. But power and status don't matter to me. The only thing I care about is you."
"The day you were kidnapped, I was truly terrified. I was afraid that if I arrived a step too late, I would only see you without warmth. So, I decided to speak out what I had hidden in my heart for so long, so that I could openly protect you."
"Yin Chen, I..."
Ye Linghan took in too much information at once and was unable to digest it. He stared blankly at the person in front of him.
He could only rely on his intuition to do what he had always wanted to do but had never been able to do.
Ye Linghan grabbed the corner of Yin Chen's clothes at his waist and moved forward step by step.
Yin Chen didn't understand why, but he fulfilled his wish and cooperated gently.
Ye Linghan pushed him down on the sofa behind him and sat astride his legs. Their bodies were so close that there was no gap between them. He closed his eyes and kissed him on the lips instinctively.
He had been thinking about it day and night and suppressing the impulse for a long time, which finally broke out at this moment.
Yin Chen's body stiffened for a moment, then he regained the initiative. He put one hand around Ye Linghan's waist and the other hand on the back of his head, forcing him not to separate from him.
Through two thin pieces of cloth, they could feel the heat of each other's skin and the violent rise and fall of each other's chests.
Their lips and tongues were entangled, and Yin Chen carefully savored the taste of Ye Linghan, first pecking at it inch by inch, and then going straight in. This seemed to be more magical than his blood, making him unable to extricate himself.
Ye Linghan was also deeply immersed in this gentle land. His waist unconsciously straightened up and pressed tightly against Yin Chen's body, feeling his rare hot skin.
But his lips were cold, a collision of ice and fire.
Both of them moved very gently, tracing each other's outlines as if they were reading an obscure collection of poetry.
