After dinner, Lin Moyan and Fang Yu relaxed on the sofa and watched television together. It didn’t take long for him to get sleepy. He thought about it for a while and decided he should shower first before going to bed.
He presumed that his belongings would be in the guest room. Lin Moyan squeezed the bridge of his nose, stood up and walked to the guest room. When he opened the door, he found something that instantly woke him up from his drowsiness. The guest room did not contain his belongings. Not only that, it was completely bare. There was no furniture at all and it looked like an empty warehouse that had just been built.
Lin Moyan was confused, thinking for a while before returning to Fang Yu and asking doubtfully, “Where are my belongings? And why is there no bed in the guest room?”
Fang Yu had been paying attention to Lin Moyan’s every move. As soon as Lin Moyan got up, he couldn’t help but look forward to Lin Moyan’s reaction. Hearing Lin Moyan’s question, he shifted his gaze from the TV and glanced at Lin Moyan, “I put your stuff in the master bedroom. As for the guest room bed, it’s broken. So, I had it disposed of.”
Lin Moyan felt that something was wrong, “Then where do I sleep?”
“Sleep in the master bedroom ah.”
Lin Moyan rubbed his temple, ” What about you?”
Without hesitating, Fang Yu replied, “Master bedroom ah!”
Lin Moyan paused and clenched his fists. With narrowed eyes, he looked at Fang Yu. “Fang Yu, you promised not to touch me again.”
Fang Yu realized that Lin Moyan was infuriated by his words, and knew that he could no longer tease him. He turned his head and looked at Lin Moyan seriously, and explained, ” Lin Moyan, since I agreed, I won’t go back on my promise. Without your permission, I won’t touch you but aren’t we lovers now? So sleeping in the same room isn’t too much ba.”
Lin Moyan’s hands shook slightly and he unclenched them. “I can’t sleep with someone beside me.” As if Fang Yu wouldn’t believe him, he added on, “Really, I’m not making up an excuse.”
Both of them looked at one another in a stalemate. Fang Yu then smiled, “Then, get used to it.”
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Lin Moyan was angered again. His mouth opened and closed but nothing came out. Annoyed, he walked back and forth and finally opened the door to the master bedroom while gritting his teeth.
He took out his toiletries and a complete set of pyjamas. He went to the bathroom and rinsed himself briefly. Instead of returning to the living room, he went straight to the master bedroom, took out the quilt and snuggled into the bed. After a while, Fang Yu thought that Lin Moyan would have fallen asleep already so he tiptoed to the room to prevent Lin Moyan from waking up.
It’s not that he didn’t believe Lin Moyan’s words, but that he had to let the other person adapt to everything related to him, including kissing, hugging, and sleeping. That’s why he returned to the bedroom after Lin Moyan fell asleep so that Lin Moyan would not be as defensive as he was when awake. At this time, when he sleeps with Lin Moyan, he would not be woken up.
Slowly but firmly, he would etch himself into Lin Moyan’s life, making Lin Moyan comfortable enough to stay with him. But when Fang Yu’s body touched the bed, he realized that he was wrong. Lin Moyan’s original gentle breathing suddenly stopped, and his relaxed sleeping position just now became rigid in an instant.
Fang Yu pretended not to notice Lin Moyan’s sudden change, put his body under the quilt, and closed his eyes to sleep. Fang Yu had been quietly waiting for Lin Moyan to fall asleep again but he did not expect to fall asleep first. Perhaps because he was still thinking about Lin Moyan, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He turned his head and switched on the bedside lamp, using the illumination to look at Lin Moyan.
Lin Moyan’s posture was still the same as before, stiff and tense. Judging from the stiffness of his body, Lin Moyan was still awake. Fang Yu felt a sharp pang of pain in his heart.
When he switched on the lamp, he noticed a slight tremor in Lin Moyan’s body. Even though Lin Moyan was already asleep when Fang Yu entered, he was still able to detect the presence of someone sleeping with him. Thus, he couldn’t sleep and had been awake the whole time.
Fang Yu got up and opened the cabinet by the wall, pulling out a quilt from it then laying it on the ground. He grabbed his pillow and quilt from the bed and placed them on the ground while saying, “You’re the only one on the bed so you can sleep without worries now.”
Lin Moyan shifted slightly and wanted to get up, but he was a little numb since he had been laying in the same position for a long time. He said, “I’m going to sleep on the sofa.”
Fang Yu was caught off guard by Lin Moyan’s words. He sat up from the ground and said, “Then I’ll go with you and sleep on the floor.”
Lin Moyan didn’t know whether he should go to the living room or remain in the bedroom. He was a little gloomy and said, “Just put in another bed in the guest room tomorrow. I’ll sleep there from tomorrow onwards.”
Fang Yu smiled bitterly, “If I wanted to sleep separately from you, would I empty the guest room? Lin Moyan, I love you, I want to be with you, I want to stay in the same room with you, even if there is only one bed. Even if I have to sleep on the floor, it doesn’t matter as long as I can be close to you.”
After Fang Yu finished speaking, he waited for Lin Moyan’s reaction. Perhaps it was the night that blurred people’s sanity. Lin Moyan seemed to be moved by Fang Yu’s remarks. He lay back on the bed on his side. Fang Yu followed Lin Moyan’s actions and got into the quilt on the ground.
The dark night clouded the faces of others, and at the same time, provided the most effective barrier for hiding oneself. It made people unconsciously open their heart and reveal their fragile side, disclosing the buried thoughts and feelings.
When Fang Yu was about to fall asleep to Lin Moyan’s soft breathing, he heard a soft voice speak out in the silent darkness. “My stepfather once came to my bed and touched me in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I was still very strong, and my mother just felt uncomfortable at that time. She left the night shift ahead of schedule and returned as soon as she could. I barely managed to avoid him. It was a disaster.”
There was deep sorrow hidden in the brief words. If Fang Yu hadn’t cared for Lin Moyan so much, he might have ignored it. Before Fang Yu could respond, Lin Moyan had already fallen asleep.
Listening to Lin Moyan’s slow breathing, Fang Yu stood up softly and walked in front of Lin Moyan. Under the dim light, he lightly caressed Lin Moyan’s scrunched eyebrows and smoothed them. He gently pressed a kiss on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly, “From now on, I will always protect you.”
