Chapter 86 Ning Buyi, you're fishing for me. He's got Ning Buyi in his grasp...
He held Ning Buyi's fingertips and told him what liking and loving meant, like telling a bedtime story. His overly academic words made the person in his arms' eyelids droop. He talked a lot just to let Ning Buyi know that he liked Zhu Yanhe.
Zhu Yanhe held the person and swayed gently. As soon as he finished speaking, the boy opened his eyes: "So, do you love me now?"
Ning Buyi listened to the lecture while yawning, feeling as if he had returned to high school. The topics of love and romance seemed like exercises from a Chinese teacher, and as soon as they entered his mind, a sleepy bug appeared.
“A little more than your love.” He pressed his forehead against the boy’s, as if holding something precious in his arms, something he had lost and then regained, making him unwilling to let go.
"Just say you don't love me!" Ning Buyi rammed his head against the man, still saying he loved her a little more than he loved her. He wasn't even in love yet! Zhu Yanhe just kept lying to him, "I'm not even in love yet, I just like you a little bit."
Zhu Yanhe chuckled softly, nuzzling her cheek and coaxing, "Then can you like it a little more?"
His voice was clear and deep, and his eyes were as warm as water, like an old object that had been around for a while but was still very durable, which made Ning Buyi fall head over heels for him.
The boy nodded gently.
"Will you be with me?" Zhu Yanhe reached into his pocket and took out an exquisite velvet box, just like the one with the necklace from last time. Ning Buyi subconsciously looked down at the silver necklace around her neck.
It seems to be even more silvery than before, and it glistens even when not in the light.
The man opened the velvet box with his knuckles, revealing a plain ring lying quietly inside. It was quite similar to the one he had made last time, but more refined. The ring band gleamed with the silver light of an incandescent bulb. He looked up at Zhu Yanhe and asked, "Does this mean we're dating?"
Zhu Yanhe lowered her head and gently kissed the corner of his eye, then slipped the ring onto the boy's ring finger: "Yes, it means that I will always be by your side for the rest of your life."
"I'm not sure if I like you or not yet." He held up his hand and looked at it under the light, then lifted his other hand, which also had a ring on it, for comparison. Hmm! His own ring looked expensive.
Zhu Yanhe's heart started racing, and he was about to speak when Zhu Yanhe interrupted him, saying, "Let's see how you perform!"
Ning Buyi rolled his eyes. It seemed like that's how they always say it in TV dramas!
He pressed his chin to his hand, pretending to be deep in thought, when suddenly a mischievous idea popped into his head: "You're at zero points now, wait until you get to a hundred!"
Zhu Yanhe raised an eyebrow, wondering where he had learned this trick again. He pressed his hand against the neck and shoulder, the smooth skin revealing the bone structure beneath, rising and falling with the owner's breath, and asked, "How do I add points?"
Ning Buyi shook his head. He hadn't thought of it yet, because it had only just come to mind!
Does this earn extra points?
Zhu Yanhe tilted his head and gently sucked on the skin of the neck. His breath tickled the skin. He tilted his head and trembled slightly: "No points allowed."
If this can add points, then you can get a perfect score very quickly, right? It's not that simple!
"so?"
Zhu Yanhe pinched his chin again and lightly pecked at the corner of his mouth. He remembered that every kiss before was real but unnamed, with a hint of panic and fear of being discovered.
Now Zhu Yanhe seems to be demanding compensation, showing no sign of wanting more.
"This won't do either!" His face turned as red as an apple, the redness spreading from his neck to his cheeks, making him look like he was steamed.
Before he could finish speaking, a large hand gripped his waist. Ning Buyi's eyes were filled with a scattering of stars. He mischievously tickled Zhu Yanhe's palm, but was also caught in the man's large hand.
"Ning Buyi, you're trying to hook me."
"What fishing? What are you fishing for?" He stared at Zhu Yanhe with his bright, watery eyes, but Ning Buyi couldn't understand why he was fishing.
Zhu Yanhe said that if someone lets you kiss and hug him but doesn't want to be with you, they're just stringing you along. That kind of person is a scumbag.
He didn't want to be a scumbag! Although Ning Buyi didn't understand what a scumbag was, he knew that the term was used for bad people. He pushed away the body pressed against his back: "Don't hug me! I'm not a scumbag!"
Zhu Yanhe's original intention was to provoke Ning Buyi, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot. Not only did he fail, but he also had the opposite effect. Ning Buyi rolled to the bedside and lay down.
Ning Buyi ignored Zhu Yanhe's attempts to say something, acting like he was just babbling on and on. He would never be a scumbag, even though he had been a scumbag for kissing Zhu Yanhe before. He wouldn't be one now!
Zhu Yanhe looked at the person lying peacefully, took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He thought that the stupidest thing he had ever done was this. If Ning Buyi's work was out of 100, he would deduct 90 from his own work.
Fortunately, the blanket was big enough to completely cover both of their bodies. Ning Buyi took the initiative to avoid suspicion and stayed a great distance away from him. The lights were off in the dark, and the moonlight quietly shone on the bay window. In the dim room, a pair of bright eyes stared at Zhu Yanhe.
Ning Buyi lay on his side, his heart pounding. Zhu Yanhe must be feeling incredibly warm down there right now. He was conflicted; Ning Buyi certainly didn't want to become a scumbag.
The warmth seemed to seep into his heart from afar. Ning Buyi quietly shifted his body, thinking that since Zhu Yanhe was asleep and wouldn't know, he could just tell him tomorrow morning that he didn't know either!
After finding a good excuse for himself, Ning Buyi moved even faster, and the distance between the two of them gradually shortened until he pressed against a warm body. Ning Buyi contentedly placed his hand across Zhu Yanhe's waist and abdomen. So comfortable!
Just as he was thinking about this, a considerable commotion broke out beside him. Zhu Yanhe turned to the side and naturally pulled him into his arms. Ning Buyi snuggled closer to him with satisfaction.
Let's give Zhu Yanhe one point, but that might be too stingy, so let's give him two points!
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be a scumbag? Hmm?" The voice beside him was deep and slightly breathy, catching Ning Buyi red-handed.
"Well, well, no one else knows, you're not allowed to tell anyone." Ning Buyi panicked for a moment but then thought of a new trick, "If you tell anyone, I'll deduct points from your score!"
Hmph, he has a huge handle on him!
Zhu Yanhe smiled slightly. Ning Buyi's little brain couldn't understand anything else, but it knew how to manipulate him. He rubbed against the boy's soft cheek: "What's the benefit of not telling anyone?"
"I can give you extra points!" Ning Buyi's eyes gleamed in the darkness, his little abacus clicking away. Zhu Yanhe, on the other hand, didn't care. This little fool had run off and wandered around for ages only to find himself back in his territory.
"That's all? Then I'll have to go outside and tell them..." Zhu Yanhe narrowed his eyes, like a cunning fox, and began to negotiate, tricking the little white rabbit Ning Buyi back little by little.
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Buyi covered his mouth, anxiously saying, "Don't say it! What do you want in return?"
Zhu Yanhe pressed her forehead against his, a half-smile on her face: "You kissed me and hugged me, I want to return the favor."
The boy's eyes widened slightly, his eyelashes trembling. He had never seen such a shameless person—no, such a stingy one! He had to get this back!
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Zhu Yanhe added fuel to the fire: "Hey, if you're not willing..."
"Who said I didn't want to!" Ning Buyi had been completely led astray by the evil Zhu Yan, who was slowly devouring him. He looked resolute. "Fine then! Kiss me if you want, hug me if you want!"
Zhu Yanhe smiled slightly, just as he wanted; men are always so composed.
Ning Buyi suddenly felt that he had lost the initiative, and angrily opened his mouth and bit into his pectoral muscle. Soon a mark was left on the full skin. He was so satisfied that he could hardly contain himself. Tch!
But the price to pay was the same: being "eaten up".
As night fell, he nestled in Zhu Yanhe's arms on the small, soft bed. The blankets were warmer than ever before, and his heart, which had felt incomplete, was gradually being filled with love.
The bright sunlight bathed the snow-white walls in an orange glow. When Zhu Yanhe opened his eyes, the person in his arms was still fast asleep. He lingered in bed for a while, propping his head up and gazing at Ning Buyi's appearance.
Ning Buyi's emotional intelligence seems to lie in his appearance and IQ; if he were any smarter, he wouldn't have run into his own arms.
Zhu Yanhe lay on her side, blocking most of the light for him. Her fair face was hidden in the shadows, and her neck was covered with a bunch of red marks, enough to show the man's undisguised desire.
Ning Buyi was exhausted last night, but the man kept kissing him. He wondered if he had some kind of drug on him that would make others react like Zhu Yanhe if they smelled it!
At the dining table, Ning Buyi sat on a high chair, swinging his legs back and forth. On his plate were a steak and a fried egg, which looked delicious.
"Zhu Yanhe, did you make this?!"
"Hmm." A glass of milk was pushed in front of Ning Buyi. The boy took a bite of a piece of beef, and as he chewed, he realized something was wrong. Is this how beef is supposed to taste?
He pulled it out further, struggling to bite off a piece. Ning Buyi frowned as he looked at it. Why was this small steak so chewy? He tried taking another bite, and it was exactly the same!
Ning Buyi put down the piece of meat and moved to the fried egg beside him. The yellow and white were clearly separated, and it looked fine. But as soon as he picked it up with his fork, his hand stopped. What was that black thing at the bottom?
The back of the fried egg was covered in a layer of black residue, and the bottom of the pan smelled burnt.
"You're trying to ruin me!" Ning Buyi turned to look at the person drinking milk next to him, his face flushed with anger. He himself had nothing in front of him, so the person was deliberately making him something so unpalatable.
There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me; points deducted!
Zhu Yan glanced at her sideways. He had never cooked before. As for why he didn't just order breakfast for Ning Buyi, that's not what the "wife-loving manual" says.
The two books Zhu Zhu gave him were divided into two volumes: the first volume was a guide to winning over a wife, and the second volume was a guide to loving a wife.
Zhu Yan lowered his eyes and explained that this was his first time cooking. Ning Buyi looked at the plate and then at him, stopped the man from ordering breakfast, and ate it with a twisted expression.
Okay, I'll add 2 points!
Just before leaving for work, Zhu Yanhe stood at the door and asked, "Are you moving to Jingyuan?"
He didn't want Ning Buyi to continue living here. Although it was a mid-range place to live, it wasn't as safe as Jingyuan.
Ning Buyi jogged a few steps, grabbed the doorframe, and appeared in his field of vision: "Oh!"
Ning Buyi didn't care, and he had nothing to miss here, but a large part of the reason he agreed was that what happened yesterday had left him with some lingering trauma.
