Chapter 7 – Playing Around is Exciting

The warm breath sprayed on his neck, and He Qing began to feel that something wasn’t right. He retracted his hand and cautiously placed it at his side, “Then, Uncle Lin, I will go upstairs first.”

“Not eating dinner?”

In the past, Lin Chi would feed He Qing, but now…

“I won’t say anymore, Uncle Lin should rest early…” He Qing could be described as fleeing, grasping the crutches to du du du leave. Lin Cheng kept watching him, seeing him walking around the stairs with difficulty, but unable to find the right path. His long legs took a few steps forward. [tl: du du du is the sound of the crutches hitting the ground.]

“I’ll send you.”

Not waiting for him to refuse, he supported the young man’s waist. He Qing broke free from the waist-supporting hand. Lin Cheng’s angle, he could see the boy’s eyelashes trembling, Lin Cheng suddenly said: “Your eyes, can you apply the medicine at night?”

The big hazy eyes blinked blankly, and the boy said with some expectation: “Just covering it with gauze at night is good. The doctor said that the surgery can be done in seven days.”

“In another…seven days?” Lin Cheng repeated thoughtfully. Seeing the young man turning his head in puzzlement, he didn’t say anything else, and quietly sent him to his room.

After the fragrance of mint disappeared outside the door, He Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

【System~】

【What.】[tl: I guess it should be “what?”, but in the raw it was a period. This “what” is also a bit curt and impolite.]

【Does Lin Chi’s dad like me? 】

Although it was very brief, the system still gave a positive answer: 【En. 】

He Qing slowly reached out to the gauze on the table and wrapped it around his face, 【System~ How many more days do we have? 】

【There are still 24 days, and Lin Chi has a favorability value of 83, 83% of the task is completed. Host, please continue to work harder. 】

——

It was the first time Lin Chi was attending a meeting on Lin Cheng’s behalf. Still feeling a bit nervous after the meeting, in the bathroom, he heard a voice from a bathroom stall, “President Lin, I have already sent someone to find it, don’t worry!”

This voice was very familiar to Lin Chi. It was the vice president who came to the meeting with him this time. The entire time, his attitude towards Lin Chi was not indulgent at all. He would occasionally remind him of some workplace tips. The hand that was about to push open the door stopped.

Who know what was said over there, the vice president answered a few times, then hung up the phone. Lin Chi did not move, waiting quietly. After a few seconds, the vice president made another call, but this time the contents let him feel like his whole person was in an ice cellar.

“The matter on looking for a suitable child for President Lin, how is it?”

“How am I supposed to know why President Lin decided the grown up Lin Chi is useless, and wants to find a new heir. Obviously, the news I heard before was that President Lin would let him join the company when he graduated. He suddenly changed his mind two days ago. I won’t say anymore, I’m still on a business trip, so properly search!”

The door next door opened, and the sound of shoes touching the ground gradually moved away. Only until he heard someone open the door again, did he suddenly returned to his senses.

——

“President Lin, I have done what you said, Young Master Lin has not been very good since.”

“Continue to watch him.” Lin Cheng hung up the phone, his long legs standing outside the door of He Qing’s room. He knocked lightly on the door, but there was no movement inside. He patiently knocked a few more times before He Qing’s somewhat hesitant voice came out.

Lin Cheng pushed the door open, and the boy wrapped in gauze ‘looked’ in his direction with confusion. Because he had just been sleeping, his voice was soft as he muttered: “Uncle Lin? What’s wrong?”

He Qing was wearing pajamas. Except for his collarbone and his wrists, he didn’t show anything else. Lin Cheng’s eyes fell on his delicate collarbone, his Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and the man’s magnetic voice was hoarse, “I’m going on a business trip tonight, and Lin Chi will be back tomorrow morning. If he is drunk, you have a cell phone on your desk, and you can unlock it by voice control. Press 1 to call me.”

Although the young man was a little bewildered, he cleverly nodded. Since he was living in the Lin’s house, he would never let himself be a trouble.

The door closed quickly, and the sound of footsteps faded away. He Qing lay back on the bed again, 【Sleep, sleep, there will be a big show tomorrow, need to rest to cultivate energy~】

【What big show? 】The system rarely asked in curiosity.

【Want to know? Give me a thousand points~】[tl: *reverse uno card*]

The system didn’t make any more noise, and He Qing also didn’t mind, and continued to sleep happily.

—He Qing was awakened by a person.

He moved his hands in confusion, but found that both his hands were being pressed down by a big powerful hand above his head, showing a strange posture that did not allow him to resist. Someone was pressing on him, and his warm lips pecked his cheeks, one after the other. He Qing couldn’t see it, but the scent of lavender mixed with alcohol made him sure it was Lin Chi.

“Ah Chi…” He shook his head in a little panic, trying to avoid the kisses from the man above. Shyness stained his cheeks, feeling both bewildered and sweet at the same time, and a little scared. After all, they had never been intimate ever since the relationship was established.

The boy tried to stop his lover, his voice sticky and soft, “Ah Chi, don’t be like this…you are drunk…”

This tone really made people unable to stop, so the kiss above became even more intense. Because it was the lover whom he had a confirmed relationship with, He Qing didn’t fight that fiercely. Soon, his pajamas were untied, and he his thin white waist were bared in the air. The blindfolded boy’s hands were released, and he too became excited.

The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of lavender as they held each other, and the He Qing had never been this close to anyone in the first eighteen years of life was soon kissed into a frenzy.

Just as the large, calloused hand crossed his waist and tried to shift down, the dizzy teenager suddenly became sober. He took hold of that hand, asking him with a timid, hesitant voice, “Ah Chi…why aren’t you talking?”

The person on top did not answer, withdrew his hand and pulled him close to kiss him. Soon, He Qing, who had been kissed back into confusion, had forgotten his question. His hands fell dependently on the man’s back, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

The two men were embracing each other on the bed. The slender, handsome man who was pressing down on the other, in contrast to the indifferent and cold nature of the past, that pair of deep eyes were infinitely tender when they fell on the boy. The young man, who had been stripped of his upper clothes and allowed the man to kiss and love him, snuggled up to him in a cooperative manner. [tl: this paragraph confused the hell out of me, I might have translated it wrong lol]

The atmosphere between the two was such that even a stranger could say with certainty that there was love between them.

Lin Chi stood outside the door, feeling the situation was very ironic.

He had been busy all night, and hurrying back without even a nap, just to see this scene?

Looking at the shy, yet shameless, young man holding his father seeking a kiss, and then thinking of his father’s secret search for another heir, Lin Chi clenched his fists tightly and stared at the man he thought he would spend his life with in hatred.

That cute and shy image shattered a little bit.

Loosing the palm of his hand that was pinched into bruising by his nails, Lin Chi’s face was expressionless, and his tone was calm to the point of terrifying: “Father, I’m back.”

He Qing’s body that had been limp from the kissing froze suddenly. There was the fragrance of lavender right under his nose, but the voice belonging to Lin Chi sounded at the door.

The blood in his body froze, and he slowly released his hands on the person in front of him, his pale face was filled with despair and disbelief.

Lin Chi is at the door, then, who is this?
