Chapter 7 The Infinite Boss Invites You to "Eat the Melon" 7. Lu Yuwen...
Twenty-seven seconds before the movie started, Lu Yu and Pei Yanzhi stepped into the theater and successfully took their seats.
"33 Days to Love You" is a standard melodramatic romance film. It tells the story of a male protagonist who pursues a female protagonist because of a bet. After winning the bet, he falls in love with her. Later, the female protagonist discovers the bet, and the two go through a heart-wrenching struggle. In the end, they reconcile after a near-death experience.
Lu Yu watched with great interest, but if such a melodramatic thing really existed in the world, he only hoped that he would never encounter it.
After the movie ended, he and Pei Yanzhi complained about the melodramatic plot of the film while heading to a street food stall for a late-night snack.
After finishing their late-night snack, it was already very late. Lu Yu checked the time and then took Pei Yanzhi home.
His car broke down, but Pei Yanzhi drove over. Pei Yanzhi said that because of work and medical treatment, he planned to stay in Baixiang City for a long time, so he brought his car over for convenience. He also said that he would not stay in hotels anymore, but would rent an apartment first.
Have you decided where to rent?
Lu Yu asked.
He volunteered to drive the car and gave the passenger a ride.
"Near Seven Days Park," Pei Yanzhi said, "It's convenient for work."
"Seven Days Park?" Lu Yu asked in surprise. "I live not far from there."
Pei Yanzhi also showed an unexpected expression, with a hint of anticipation, and said with a smile, "Really? If it's not far, wouldn't I have a chance to go over and freeload a meal?"
Lu Yu said, "Welcome. It's just that my cooking skills are rather average, so..."
“It’s alright,” Pei Yanzhi said. “How can one person be perfect in every way? But my cooking skills are pretty good. If you don’t mind, I’ll cook for you.”
My date complimented me and even offered to cook for me?
Lu Yu gleaned two meanings from Pei Yanzhi's words. His chest tightened and his mind went blank. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and then, without knowing where he was, he managed to pull out a few words and piece them together into a sentence: "Okay, then... thank you. I'll practice my cooking skills and make something for you too."
This awkward and taciturn answer amused Pei Yanzhi greatly.
As we chatted and laughed, we arrived at the hotel parking lot.
Lu Yu parked the car and was about to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out when he heard Pei Yanzhi say, "Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"
Lu Yu paused in his action of unbuckling the seatbelt: "No thanks."
The silence inside the car made Pei Yanzhi's soft laughter and breathing all the more distinct.
He turned his head slightly from the passenger seat and said in a low voice, "I'm just inviting you to sit down, not trying to eat you. What are you thinking?"
Lu Yu shook his head again: "It's too late."
Pei Yanzhi said, "But I'm a little unwilling and reluctant to say goodbye like this. What do you think we should do?"
Lu Yu looked up.
The parking lot light streamed into the dimly lit car, falling perfectly on Pei Yanzhi's face like a scene from a movie. His amber eyes were dimly illuminated, like the moon's reflection in water, gazing at Lu Yu with a serene and ethereal quality.
The hand that was incredibly beautiful in Lu Yu's eyes reached out to hook his glasses. Lu Yu looked at the hand, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, but he didn't stop it.
The silver glasses slid down the man's straight, snow-like nose inch by inch. Pei Yanzhi flicked his fingertips, and with the glasses on, he moved them down, pressing them against Lu Yu's Adam's apple and chest.
"It's only the second time we've met. Wouldn't it be too fast to kiss?" Pei Yanzhi said softly. "But I really want you to kiss me, Lu Yu."
Lu Yu could smell Pei Yanzhi's scent.
Like snow, like mist, it drifted around me, approaching me with a damp coolness and a burning heat.
He couldn't help but tremble, couldn't help but take a deep sniff, and couldn't help but feel his teeth itching as he took a deep breath.
Without the obstruction of his glasses, his eyes, which had been hidden for years and were as black as ink, finally slowly rose. In the dim light and shadow, the young man's jade-like face was close at hand, his eyes lowered, his brows furrowed, as pure and clean as a porcelain statue.
Lu Yu felt as if a demon had seized his soul, and the turmoil in his heart suddenly broke through his reason and surged out like a dam breaking.
He grabbed the young man's neck and wrists like he was catching a crane with a broken wing, and kissed him.
The kiss, though awkward, was extremely forceful, completely unlike Lu Yu's usual gentle and uninteresting demeanor. At this moment, he was like a traveler who had been thirsty for a long time, finally finding a lake in the desert, plunging into it and drinking endlessly, with a greedy desire that could not be satisfied even if he sucked it dry, devoured it, and completely melted it into his body.
Before Pei Yanzhi could even feel the touch of their lips, he was forced to open his mouth, invaded, taken from, and violently shoved into the seat.
This man, who seemed to apologize before even going to bed with someone, actually had such an aggressive side. This was something Pei Yanzhi hadn't expected.
He was caught off guard and lost the initiative he had been holding. The rhythm was abruptly broken, and he was no longer in control. Instead, he was thrown into chaos by this domineering yet lingering invasion.
With a soreness at the base of his tongue and a numbness at the tip, Pei Yanzhi was so overwhelmed by the kiss that he couldn't even swallow properly. He could only open his mouth haphazardly, letting strands of moisture spill out.
“Lu Yu…”
Pei Yanzhi leaned back in his chair, straining to tilt his head back and bite Lu Yu's lips.
Lu Yu was bitten, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
A surging fire burned into his veins, forcing him to go deeper and burn more fiercely.
His figure completely enveloped Pei Yanzhi, like a giant net that imprisoned a crane, tightening continuously and giving him no chance to struggle.
The car seats creaked, and the car body trembled slightly.
"Stop, Lu Yu...stop, please..."
Pei Yanzhi was so overwhelmed by the kisses that his body began to tremble uncontrollably. Words escaped from between his lips, his voice so shameful it sounded unlike his own.
Lu Yu heard it.
As if sensing something, his mind suddenly returned, and his extremely intense movements abruptly stopped, as if he had been suddenly shackled.
His veins were throbbing, but his body slowly moved back a little.
His face remained expressionless, only his dark eyes were fixed on Pei Yanzhi. As his chest heaved violently, he let his gaze flow like water across Pei Yanzhi's face, gentle yet forceful, washing over Pei Yanzhi's already wet eyes and lips.
"I'm sorry, this is my first time kissing..." Lu Yu opened his mouth, finally finding his voice.
He looked at the young man, who was pinned to the seat, his clothes disheveled, trembling, and unable to even retract his tongue. He reached for a tissue and wiped away the watery stains spreading down the young man's crimson lips.
"……madman."
Pei Yanzhi lightly kicked Lu Yu's shin.
Lu Yu stopped stroking Pei Yanzhi's neck, his handsome eyes showing remorse: "I'm sorry, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Yanzhi interrupted her: "But I like it."
Lu Yu was taken aback.
Pei Yanzhi looked up: "Don't apologize, just keep it up, okay?"
Lu Yu wanted to kiss him again, but his regained rationality stopped him. It probably wasn't a good thing for two adult men to continue kissing in this cramped and intimate car.
He lost control just now; an old house was on fire, and he ended up kissing someone like that. Although Pei Yanzhi didn't mind, Lu Yu was already feeling some regret. He wasn't such a frivolous person, and he didn't want to treat Pei Yanzhi like that.
"Are we... moving too fast? I only wanted to hold your hand today, I didn't mean to offend you like this..." Lu Yu wiped away the last bit of water from Pei Yanzhi's collarbone and hesitated.
Pei Yanzhi almost burst out laughing when he heard the words "holding hands." He raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What's so offensive about that? I was the one who invited you to kiss first. Besides, we're both adults. It's normal for couples to kiss, right?"
"Couple?"
Lu Yu's pupils dilated in shock, and he almost jumped up.
“Of course,” Pei Yanzhi said, “otherwise, would we be bed partners?”
"No." Lu Yu denied it decisively.
Pei Yanzhi said, "Or perhaps I've misunderstood you. You don't like me and don't want to talk to me?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yu shook his head.
"Any other questions?" Pei Yanzhi said. "You like me, and I like you too. Although we've just met and don't know each other very well, we seem to get along very well. I prefer to be direct and don't want to waste time. I also think that testing each other is pointless. So, why don't we talk about it first and see?"
Pei Yanzhi's words sounded like those of a seasoned lover.
Lu Yu knew he shouldn't ask, but while somewhat stunned, he couldn't help but ask, "You... do you talk to others like this too?"
Pei Yanzhi laughed, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "Worried that I'm just playing around? Don't worry, I've never dated anyone before, and I don't know what the right pace is for dating someone. I just feel that today is a good day, a good day to be with you."
"If you think it's too fast, you can refuse, and I'll ask again next time."
What Lu Yu couldn't understand before was those fast-food romances where people fall in love at first sight and are head over heels in love after two meetings. But now that it's happening to him, he realizes that some things don't follow logic or time.
He was completely captivated by Pei Yanzhi, as if under a spell, from the first glance to countless subsequent looks. He simply couldn't resist him, even though this was only the second time he had met him.
Lu Yu tried to control his voice: "Although this progress is a bit faster than I imagined, I still hope we are serious."
Pei Yanzhi raised an eyebrow: "What a coincidence, me too."
Pei Yanzhi spoke these words lightly, but Lu Yu, whether by mistake or not, could detect a hint of sincerity in them.
A few minutes later, Lu Yu, who had inexplicably ended his single life, left the hotel, his steps unsteady.
Having witnessed everything, but completely unaware of what was happening inside the car due to Pei Yanzhi's spatial shielding, and only able to see the car body vibrating occasionally, Jiang Yan and the other two were speechless.
Liu Xian: "They must have just played an incredibly crazy match-3 game in the car, right, Captain? Right?"
Old Bai was shocked: "This progress... is too fast!"
Jiang Yan: "..."
No one told her that Pei Yanzhi, who had never been in a relationship, was actually a master at flirting with men.
But she was still able to calmly analyze: "Judging from Lu Yu's state, it should have just been intimate, not car sex. Liu Xian, record, the King of Calamities and the Lord of the Realm's first date, in the Crown Hotel parking lot, intimate contact for twenty-eight minutes."
Liu Xian wiped his face, feeling that his team and the van were perfectly in sync at this moment, just like old-fashioned paparazzi.
Lu Yu didn't even know how he got home.
In any case, by the time he finally snapped out of his daze from Pei Yanzhi's wet eyes, soft smile, and cool aura, he had already finished washing up and was lying on his bed in room 1301 on the 13th floor of Building 13 in the Morning Dusk Apartment complex, holding his phone and sending a message to Pei Yanzhi.
Lu Yu: [I've arrived.]
After waiting a while, Pei Yanzhi replied: 【Okay.】
Lu Yu: [Are you still feeling unwell?]
Pei Yanzhi: [What?]
Lu Yu: [You were shaking the whole time in the car, and you even cried.]
Pei Yanzhi: [...It's not uncomfortable, it's comfortable.]
Lu Yu realized what was happening, and his ears burned: "That's good. I hope you're comfortable."
Pei Yanzhi, whether embarrassed or not, did not reply.
Lu Yu checked the time and figured he was probably asleep, so he didn't say anything more. He sent a message to get some rest, then turned off the light and prepared to go to sleep.
However, tonight he can't just go to sleep whenever he wants.
All night long, whenever Lu Yu closed his eyes, all he could think about was that kiss in the car.
One moment it's the soft panting from Pei Yanzhi's nose and throat in the swaying shadows, the next it's the chest and waist of his overheated body pressed tightly against his thin summer clothes, and the slender wrist that's been captured but is still struggling in his palm.
The scents of car air freshener and leather, Pei Yanzhi's fragrance, the entangled lips and tongues, the sticky sounds of water, and the intense and vivid palpitations—all of these fermented together, seemingly chaotic, but once recalled, they became frighteningly clear.
Lu Yu had never experienced such intense emotions and desires before.
He tossed and turned in bed until 2 a.m., too afraid to close his eyes any longer.
To calm down, he decided to shift his focus.
He opened the gossip-eating system.
Back in the movie theater, the gossip system had already given a notification that a new entry had been unlocked. But at the time, he and Pei Yanzhi were rushing into the theater and didn't have time to click to watch it. Later, they were too engrossed in the melodramatic movie and their late-night snack together, so they forgot about it.
Ultimately, it was simply that the name of the entry wasn't appealing to him. If it had belonged to Pei Yanzhi, he would have clicked on it long ago.
The new entry is called "Ji Chengchuan, the Chosen One," and it unlocks more content than "The Self You Don't Know" and "The Untold Story of Pei Yanzhi," and the content is also more mysterious.
Lu Yu clicked to view.
