Lu Chengye thought that after sharing their sincere feelings, his relationship with Zhang Hang would become even more intimate. After all, during the honeymoon period following a confession, they should long to be together every hour and every second of the day, but unexpectedly, their relationship had not changed.
Every morning, Zhang Hang would wake up first. His sense of hearing was sensitive, so even a slight sound would cause him to awaken. Instead of getting up, he would focus on Lu Chengye’s breathing and lie beside him. When Lu Chengye later awoke, Zhang Hang would stroke his head or kiss his cheek, as if he was a prince waking up a sleeping beauty with a kiss. Often, Lu Chengye would be extremely depressed at that moment. In his imagination, no matter who woke up first, he would give Zhang Hang a 30-second french kiss, making both their breathing unsteady. It would be best if they could just go for a round. However, he was usually woken up by Zhang Hang’s kiss. Zhang Hang would smile at him and then say, “Wash your face and brush your teeth”.
Brush teeth! Those two words would make Lu Chengye, who was immersed in romance, wake up instantly. He would think to himself that Zhang Hang’s senses of smell and taste were exceptionally keen, and then, then there was no then.
After washing up, they ate breakfast together. This process was quite sweet, usually “you feed me then I’ll feed you”. But this wasn’t anything, since when he was Big Black, his ability to eat the young man’s tofu was better. He was able to put his chin on Zhang Hang’s thigh to take advantage. Now, Zhang Hang looked at him with a “holy” face (from Lu Chengye’s perspective), and Lu Chengye dared not even stretch out a hand to touch his thigh.
Most of the morning was spent in rehabilitation. Lu Chengye practiced walking with Zhang Hang’s help, and when he was tired he would sit down and have a rest. In the afternoon, Zhang Hang would massage Lu Chengye’s leg muscles to prevent muscle atrophy.
In between doing these things, Lu Chengye would read Zhang Hang books he wanted to read, word by word. Zhang Hang would earnestly listen and take notes from time to time. It was actually very warm and sweet.
In the evening, Zhang Hang would open a Braille book and read by himself while the very bored Lu Chengye would play on his phone. Sometimes, he would video chat with the general manager of the company and talk about recent events, help the general manager make decisions, and so on. A comfortable evening would be spent with both men conscientiously working and studying.
When it was time to go to bed, Zhang Hang would first help Lu Chengye bathe, then go to the bathroom to take a shower himself. Lu Chengye still wanted to lend a hand so he could casually rub against the young man and eat his tofu like before, but unfortunately he was still temporarily partially crippled and couldn’t go in and make trouble.
After washing well, Zhang Hang would help Lu Chengye into bed, then quite naturally climb in and lie down alongside him. Faced with Lu Chengye’s expectant eyes, he would hold Lu Chengye’s hand and kiss him on the forehead, saying “good night”. And so, Lu Chengye would quietly turn off the lights, press his shoulder against Zhang Hang’s, sniff the other man, and then fall asleep peacefully. His sleep would be sweet and dreamless, and when he woke up the next morning, he would feel that the sun was shining brightly.
Those things may sound beautiful, but every day was like this. This was simply the good life of an old married couple! In his daily life with Zhang Hang, Lu Chengye finally realized the harsh reality. His imagined honeymoon period had, during the earlier five years of being together, changed to that of a relationship between an old husband and wife. Their relationship was very natural, with no sense of incompatibility at all.
Of course, these sorts of days couldn’t be regarded as bad. It could be said that the two of them had a common dream of spending every future day together. But the problem was, since they had loved each other for more than 10 years, their love had already seeped deep into their bones. These feelings had changed into something similar but better than familial love, so this sort of day was simply too beautiful. However, the pair were novices who had just confessed their love. Let alone sleeping together, they hadn’t even had a proper kiss, and were like an elderly couple… It was really rather cruel.

Lu Chengye looked towards Zhang Hang. Before the question was asked, Zhang Hang lowered his head and pecked Lu Chengye lightly on the lips. He gently said, “There is a small problem at the company, so they need legal advice. Even if I am just listed, I cannot ignore everything. I’ll go, so at noon…”
He touched one of the 365 luxury watches bought for him by Lu Chengye and continued, “I probably can’t be back by noon. If there is no traffic jam, I’ll be home around 3PM, and I will call you if there are any changes.”
After that, Zhang Hang reached out and patted Lu Chengye’s head with some reluctance. “Obediently wait for me at home.”
Lu Chengye: “…….”
Zhang Hang left home, and because of his health, Lu Chengye could not follow after him. Naturally, he felt a little lonely. Hang Hang stroking him like a dog, this sort of action… He felt like a little wife that Zhang Hang kept at home. Lu Chengye somewhat gloomily hit his leg. Until when would he be able to run like the wind as he could before?!
–
After leaving, Zhang Hang didn’t go to the company as he said he would. Instead, he had the driver drive around town. Zhang Hang maxed out the credit card Lu Chengye gave him before returning home at 3PM. The driver was employed by Lu Chengye, but Zhang Hang had bribed him. In regards to Zhang Hang’s trip today, he wouldn’t disclose a word, and Lu Chengye wouldn’t ask.
The next day Zhang hang went out again in a similar fashion, only saying that the company had met with a bit of trouble, and that if he needed to fight against a lawsuit, he would probably be busy.
That day, he met up with a woman with above average looks and a sweet-sounding voice. She seemed to be one or two years older than Zhang Hang. Zhang Hang gave the woman a lot of women’s clothing and products he bought yesterday when he maxed out the card. The woman and Zhang Hang appeared very close. She helped him take a walk beside the moat, and the pair hugged each other intimately.
On the third day, Zhang Hang met up with the woman again. This time, they did not stroll together, instead getting straight to the point. They ran to a hotel and booked a room. Three hours later, Zhang Hang exited the hotel, the woman leaving after him.
The fourth and the fifth day continued… It wasn’t until Lu Chengye’s leg was good enough to try jogging that Zhang Hang stopped these sorts of activities. During the day, he would concentrate on accompanying Lu Chengye.
“You haven’t been in good shape lately,” Lu Chengye said with concern. Although Zhang Hang behaved no differently than usual, Lu Chengye, who spent 24 hours a day focusing his attention on Zhang Hang, suddenly found that he seemed a bit distracted.
“Mm,” Zhang Hang gave a relaxed nod and said, “As of late I’ve been a little impatient.”
“Impatient how?” Lu Chengye pinched Zhang Hang’s chin and lifted up his head. His leg was already almost as good as before, so he could act like an overbearing president. He pinched Zhang Hang’s chin firmly and gently asked, “Did you do something you should apologize to me for?”
“I did,” Zhang Hang obediently let Lu Chengye raise his chin and said jokingly, “I maxed out the credit card you gave me and gave everything I bought to a woman.”
“What?” Lu Chengye frowned. “The card I gave you should be a VIP gold card. That kind of card has no limit, how could it be maxed out? What’s the matter with the bank? They dare to freeze my card?”
So, he quickly called the bank manager and told the other party with great arrogance to unfreeze Zhang Hang’s card so he could spend as much money as he wanted. He also bound his own account to Zhang Hang’s card. As long as Zhang Hang used the card, the debt would automatically be deducted from Lu Chengye’s account. Unless Zhang Hang actually depleted the one billion liquid funds in Lu Chengye’s bank account, it would absolutely not be frozen.
After taking care of this problem, Lu Chengye turned around and enthusiastically said, “From now on you can use my money however you want.”
His expression was cool, handsome, wild, and tyrannical, but Zhang Hang couldn’t see it. In Zhang Hang’s mind, it appeared as if Big Black was holding a beloved bone in his mouth and then placed it at his feet. Big Black was always giving him his favorite things. Whether it be money or bones, as far as Zhang Hang was concerned, they were the same.
As for his words about buying things for a woman, Lu Chengye ignored them completely.
Gently embracing Lu Chengye’s waist, Zhang Hang leaned his head against his chest and his slightly impatient mood that had accumulated these past few days gradually faded away.
“There aren’t any problems with your leg, right? Can you go out?” Zhang Hang asked.
“Yes,” Lu Chengye nodded, “I can go out on dates with you.”
“Let’s go. Let’s go and set up the fund and implement it.”
Although he thought Zhang Hang was a little impatient, Lu Chengye would not refuse Zhang Hang’s request. He also wanted to set up this fund. Every time he thought of Zhang Hang’s childhood experience, his heart ached. He had money and would make more money in the future, so he hoped that his money would enable all blind people in China to receive the best education. Those who wanted to work could work, those who wanted to go to college could go to college, and they could do whatever they wanted to do.
The pair ran around for a few days to set up the fund and were almost finished. Lu Chengye also invited lawyers and notaries to make it clear in his will that his inheritance and all his property would go to Zhang Hang. His stocks and company shares would all be auctioned, and after being sold, the proceeds would be donated to the fund. In addition, every year while he was alive, he would give 10% of his income to the fund.
No matter how much this news incited the business community and his relatives, after finishing, Lu Chengye had at last settled the matter and had peace of mind. He took Zhang Hang’s hand and kissed him gently. “I will work hard.”
Whether it was working hard to run the fund well, or working hard to maintain their cozy and happy small family life.
