Ch52 - Discussion

After Xie Yan took the initiative to express his feelings, Ji Qinghuai realized that Xie Yan had asked Xu Luo to bring him out so that he (XY) could intercept him (JQH).

Through this incident, he realized that although Xie Yan usually appeared very cold, he had quite a grumpy temper and his way of handling things was also quite decisive. If Xie Yan was as timid as him, they would have waited for a long time before getting together.

After having dinner together, the two of them drove directly back to Xinchen Community. When they arrived home, Qin Lang had yet to return. The apartment was dark and the warmth of the air conditioning had almost dissipated.

The winter night was cold and silent. Normally at this time, Ji Qinghuai would have already returned to his room to sleep, but today was a special day. He didn’t want to shower or sleep, he only wanted to stick to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan knew long ago that Ji Qinghuai was very sticky, but both of them didn’t say anything about it. He was more restrained back then, but now both of them knew they liked each other so Ji Qinghuai no longer had to worry about his actions and could do whatever he wanted with a straight face.

Xie Yan’s hands were a little cold from the freezing winter. He picked up the kettle and went to the kitchen to boil some water. When he came out, he saw Ji Qinghuai sitting on the sofa and looking at him with one hand propping up his face.

He walked to Ji Qinghuai and sat down. Ji Qinghuai turned his head and continued looking at him. He thought about it and realised that ever since just now, Ji Qinghuai had never taken his eyes off him.

“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” He asked with a chuckle.

“Because you look good.” Ji Qinghuai praised sincerely. After that, he adjusted his sitting position and shifted closer to Xie Yan. “Mr Xie, is there a lot of people who compliment you like this?”

“No. I’m very average-looking, there’s nothing to boast about.” He said calmly.

Ji Qinghuai choked. “Who said that, you’re obviously so good-looking.”

He wasn’t asking an actual question but Xie Yan replied seriously, “My master.”

Ji Qinghuai: “…”

Ji Qinghuai lowered his curiosity towards that Master of Xie Yan and curled his lips, “I’m afraid your Master has a problem with his eyes.”

Xie Yan continued with a straight face, “Is there a problem? I don’t know but I think he’ll beat you when he hears this.”

“Beat me?” Ji Qinghuai didn’t take it seriously and smiled. “I’m not afraid. Besides, he is also an elder. He’ll appear cold-hearted if he beats me.”

Ji Qinghuai thought about it and asked boldly, “That Master, is he old? If he’s old, he might not be able to fight against me, right?”

Xie Yan didn’t say anything. Seeing his innocent and naive look, He didn’t want to pour cold water over him. Anyway, they would meet later. At that time, the cold water wouldn’t need to be poured over him, Ji Qinghuai himself would be frightened off.

As they chatted, the water in the kitchen finished boiling and Xie Yan got up, pouring hot water into two cleaned teacups on the table. The water trickled out from the kettle, steam rising from it. The heat dispersed into the surroundings, bringing a brief burst of warmth.

The water that had just boiled was very hot so it couldn’t be drunk now. Xie Yan mixed some cool water into the cups and handed one to Ji Qinghuai, “The winter night is cold. Drink some hot water and get some rest.”

Ji Qinghuai responded and took a sip from the cup. The temperature was slightly hot, but not scalding. Drinking it helped dissipate some of the chills on his body. By the time he finished the entire cup, his body had warmed up by a lot.

Ji Qinghuai put down his cup and turned to look at Xie Yan. Xie Yan was drinking water in a more civilised manner than him. He drank half the water slowly and put down the teacup. Ji Qinghuai’s gaze fell on his lips and saw some water droplets on them. He raised his hand to help Xie Yan wipe it.

Xie Yan’s first thought was to dodge, but he resisted the thought and let Ji Qinghuai’s fingertips gently brush past his lips. He could feel the warm sensation of Ji Qinghuai’s fingertips.

The brief touch stirred up the two throbbing hearts. When they lifted their heads, two pairs of eyes met. Having one’s beloved close at hand was one of the most precious moments in love.

Xie Yan’s gaze was unconsciously gentle, no longer as indifferent and distant as before. Winter changed to spring, the sunlight melted the ice on the lake, and the surface of the lake rippled gently, slowly growing into waves.

The atmosphere was thickening and the two continued looking at each other but Ji Qinghuai didn’t dare to move rashly. He carefully tried to probe, “Mr Xie, we are now…Are we lovers? ”

Looking at Ji Qinghuai’s cautious face, Xie Yan smiled at his foolish question and nodded.

Ji Qinghuai’s eyes lit up, and his joy overwhelmed him, giving him endless courage. He wrapped his arms around Xie Yan and flipped him onto the sofa.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Xie Yan’s body froze for a moment. Even if the two had already established a relationship, he would still be nervous about Ji Qinghuai’s sudden move.

Ji Qinghuai was keenly aware of this. He held Xie Yan’s hands and gently rubbed his palms with his fingers. He didn’t make any other movement. “Mr Xie, I want to discuss something with you.”

Xie Yan’s body gradually relaxed, “Hmm?”

“I…I want to kiss you.”

Without waiting for Xie Yan to speak, he looked at Xie Yan and continued, “You were reluctant when I wanted to kiss you that night, but today you kissed me, so I want to get it back.”

“But you can’t kick me anymore.” Ji Qinghuai complained as he spoke. “The last time you kicked me off the bed, I landed on the hard ground and it hurt a lot. You didn’t even care about me.”

His pitiful tone carried a bit of coquetry and in front of the grievous person, Xie Yan couldn’t put his foot down even if he wanted to kick.

After this thought, Xie Yan was finally unable to hold back his laughter.

Ji Qinghuai raised his hand and rubbed his face. “Is it funny?”

Xie Yan wanted to say something, but just as the words reached his mouth, Ji Qinghuai lowered his head and kissed him, blocking the words that were about to come out.

Xie Yan’s hand tightened slightly but relaxed again under Ji Qinghuai’s patient teasing and the two of them interlocked their fingers. Seeing that Xie Yan wasn’t rejecting him, Ji Qinghuai was relieved and deepened the kiss.

After half a year of unrequited love, he finally got what he wanted. He should cherish it. His kiss was sincere and gentle, treasuring every bit of Xie Yan.

And all of these could be felt by Xie Yan. Just like Ji Qinghuai, he didn’t want to have any reservations about this relationship, he only wanted a committed and sincere relationship.

Xie Yan raised his head slightly and tried to respond to Ji Qinghuai, making the kiss even sweeter.

All the worries and concerns from before would dissipate today. They held each other’s hands tightly, reassuring Ji Qinghuai. Although Xie Yan didn’t say anything explicitly, the simple response had already proved everything.

They didn’t have to go through suffering and loss, all they needed to do was give each other all their trust, hold each other’s hands like this and walk together.

The author has something to say:

As I said before, let’s explain why we need to stop this. Let’s briefly talk about this.

The reason is that I got my medical examination report on that day. There was a problem. I ran the hospital that afternoon, and then I ran continuously. At that time, the doctor said that I might need to have surgery, and let me examine this again. The results came out the previous two days, but it was not as bad as last time, and there was a problem, but it was not that serious. Now I am waiting for the next arrangement. I hope that it is okay. I ran to the hospital so many times and my family was scared. I hope that I can escape.

After that, I will not use it as a word to talk about this matter. If I still can’t hide, and the text is not finished, I will hang the leave note, but I will try to finish it first.

Say sorry to everyone here, and I’m very touched that you are all waiting for me, thank you ~

The authors note is machine-translated (again) Pretty short chapter too
