The situation turned out to be a little bit better than what he had imagined, although the current situation was not any better.

Originally he had thought that he will be sentenced to death, but now it looked like the death penalty was just postponed.

Xie Yan ignored him for the past few days, and even avoided looking at him, but he never displayed apparent repulsion. Sometime he even called Shu Nian to make black tea for him in the morning. Shu Nian thought thoroughly and didn't not give up, as he never asked much from Xie Yan.

However Xie Yan began to frequently [1] returned home late at night.

[T/N: [1] 夜不归宿 is an idiom that basically means to frequently going out to have fun until late at night.]

Xie Yan was never the kind of person that thinks with his lower part. Although he could be considered as someone that didn't have self-control, but due to his high taste and extremely fastidious behavior, there're only a few women that caught his eye. His severe OCD, coupled with slight perfectionism, hence it's definitely impossible to tame him. His personal life was considered to be unusually untainted out of the group of [2] rich young masters.

[T/N: [2] 世家 means well-known rich families.]

However, that kind of Xie Yan was quite busy lately with dating countless of beautiful ladies, and then will return home in pent up annoyance.

Although Shu Nian felt the current Xie Yan was appalling, however Xie Feng couple had just went to France, and would not be back in a short period. Actually, even if they were home, Xie Yan would still ignore them.

Besides he also thought that he really was not qualified to preach Xie Yan.

In actuality, he did not even have a chance to say anything.

In the evening, Shu Nian was at home and sat in the living room while reading Marcel Proust's《In Search of Lost Time》. To sum it up, the novel that consist of 7th volumes did not have any exciting plots, no continuity, didn't even have a progress, climax, and conclusion. Moreover it was intermittently mixed with unexpected emotions, discussion, poetry, and usually an average person would stop reading a long time ago, but Shu Nian was a person with a surprisingly good patience, hence he kept on reading while hoping Xie Yan to return home, and the night went by in a silence.

He kept on shifting around, and suddenly remembered when he was at the company today and heard something about Marcel Proust that was told by a secretary who had a Master of Arts degree when they had a conversation.

"Ah, you are talking about that immoral man?"

"...What, what do you mean by immoral?"

"You don't know? He had a relationship with his butler. He's gay."

"Homosexual and morality did not relate with each other, but it was due to the hormone...Besides one out of ten people will end up being a homosexual or a bisexual, hence it's nothing to be astonished at..."

The secretary was shocked when he was being extremely eager to dispute. He was unable to control himself although he realized it.

Immoral.

Shu Nian wearily rubbed the space between his eyebrows, closed the book and decided to go back to his room to have a rest, but he heard muddled footsteps walking upstairs.

Xie Yan unexpectedly came home. Shu Nian had thought Xie Yan would spend the night outside.

It was not a good idea to wake up the maids at that time to make a supper for Xie Yan. If he was hungry, then Shu Nian would get ready to cook something for him.

Right after he stood up, Xie Yan suddenly appeared at the stairway with a very strong smell of alcohol and was also hugging a woman.

Shu Nian was surprised at that severe situation. Although Xie Yan fooled around outside, he never bring anyone home. It was also his first time to directly see Xie Yan fooling around...and he was speechless.

"What are you looking at?!" Drunken Xie Yan was far crueler than his usual mean-self.

"Xie Yan, you, it's not proper to behave like that in your home, right?"

"This is not your house. It's none of your business!"

Shu Nian was stupefied, and then Xie Yan abruptly pushed him: "Go back to your room! We want to do it here!"

He just blankly stood there, and Xie Yan became even fiercer: "I told you to get out! Get lost! Do you want to see we do it?"

Shu Nian regained his sense and picked up the book hurriedly. He lowered his head and swiftly walked to his bedroom, and then closed the door.

Shu Nian sat on the bed while listening to the sound coming from the living room and he was in a slight trance.

He lay listlessly on the bed. It was already late and it was time go to bed. He had to go to the company tomorrow because there were a pile of works to do.

The sounds of making love that passed through his door made him unable to fall asleep, thus Shu Nian pulled the blanket over his head.

After an unknown period of time, the panting and moaning finally stopped.

It already finish?

Shu Nian heaved a sigh of relief as his stiff body finally relaxed. He turned around and changed to a natural sleeping position, but his face was still covered by the blanket.

Suddenly, his eyes turned a little bit prickly.

So stupid. What the point of being sad? Xie Yan is already grown up...He is a matured guy. Won't it be normal for him to do something like that? You don't have any rights to feel sad no matter what kind of woman he was fooling with.

He heard muffled curses in language that he didn't recognize and a click-clack of high heels hitting the stairs in fury. That lady already left?

She left so fast. Shu Nian had thought she would stay the night since Xie Yan brought her home.

A faint sound of rushing water could be heard, and it was probably because Xie Yan had left his bedroom door opened while he took a shower.

It was time to sleep. Hence Shu Nian pulled the blanket and closed his eyes.

He was wide awake when the door was opened gently. Both of their rooms were never locked and could be opened by a single push. They were always close and shared everything. Therefore 'privacy' never existed between them.

"Xiao Nian, are you sleeping?"

Xie Yan fumbled toward the bed and turned on the light since he did not hear any answer.

Shu Nian held his breath and remained stationary.

"Are you asleep?"

Xie Yan touched the blanket, but he didn't pull it down. He merely reached his hands into the blanket and cupped Shu Nian's face, trying to drag him out.

Thinking about his eyes that were still swollen, Shu Nian struggled in despair to hide his head under the pillow. The blanket that was firmly held by Shu Nian was roughly pulled and thrown away by Xie Yan: "Xiao Nian, let's sleep together."

Shu Nian was caught off guard. Prior the incident, he would smile and say "sure", but right now he didn't not know how to response. Therefore he protested quietly: "Cannot. The bed is too small. One of us might fall down if we crammed on the bed. Go back to your own room. "

Xie Yan's bed was so spacious that even three people could roll around on it.

Xie Yan rolled over and firmly pressed on top of him: "None of us will fall down if we stay like this."

Their bodies fitted snugly together and they could distinctly felt the warmth heavy breathing. Shu Nian felt like all his [3] blood had rushed toward the crown of his head: "Don't...Don't want. Xie Yan, you are heavy."

[T/N: [3] 'blood had rushed toward the crown of his head' simply means he was dizzy and lightheaded by the sensation.]

Drunk and intoxicated, Xie Yan turned a deaf ear and kept on pressing him. He reached out his hand and pushed away the messy hair around Shu Nian's face. His eyes that were usually calm were red and swollen under the bright light.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yan covered Shu Nian's eyes with his palm, and could feel Shu Nian's eyelashes trembled in fear, consequently making his palm itched. He let out a labored breath.

Shu Nian eyes were covered. He unconsciously felt scared, and then smiled reluctantly: "Nothing...what are you doing?"

He could not see anything, and could only feel the breath that reeked of alcohol was getting extremely closer. Then his shoulders were held firmly. At first, he felt a soft and moist sensation on his face, and it was followed with pain. It turned out that Xie Yan was actually biting him fiercely.

"Ah—" It was as if the biting was out of anger or a just a prank. Then the kiss trailed down toward his neck. Xie Yan then moved to Shu Nian's lips and eagerly sucked on his mouth. The heavy sensual ambiance made Shu Nian trembled in nervousness.

"Xie, Xie Yan..."

Shu Nian was still clueless about the whole ordeal. The palm that covered his eyes was removed, and it went to grab his wrists and firmly pressed it on his sides. His thin pajama was ripped by Xie Yan's teeth, and his chest was bared in the cold.

He finally realized what Xie Yan was trying to do and simply couldn't believe it. He stared at the black-haired head that was buried in his chest and frantically kissed and bit him. Shu Nian was completely stock-stilled for a few minutes, and could only let the aggressive kisses caressed his tensed body.

"Ugh —"

The pain from the rough friction of teeth on his chest jostled him awake from his trance. The scorching kisses moved downwards daringly. Shu Nian couldn't take it anymore and violently struggled when his lower abdomen was kissed. However, he was pinned down by Xie Yan's knees when he tried to move his legs.

"Xie Yan...You're drunk!"

Xie Yan's erection that was hooded in fervent desire was pressed up against him. Shu Nian instinctively wanted to avoid the contact by moving his waist, but he was pulled back firmly. The big and strong hands probed into Shu Nian's pants, hoisted his buttocks, kneaded and caressed the scalding spot where Xie Yan's desired to enter, while his other hand was randomly groping Shu Nian's thigh.

"Xie Yan! Xie..." His body twisted in the sensation. His mind was completely clouded. He should have resist, but his hands involuntarily grabbed on Xie Yan's strong shoulders.

Shu Nian did not understand why it became like that...Perhaps he was having a dream...

He had never expected such day to come. Therefore he didn't even know how to react...Perhaps, perhaps...

"!"

The intense action came to a grinding halt. Xie Yan's hands finally touched the place that was starting to get hard due to the inevitable friction from struggling. Then he suddenly drew it back like he was burnt.

A...man?

Xie Yan suddenly sobered up. He pushed away from him and rose up in disbelief when he saw the man that was not dressed properly in front of him. Xie Yan's body temperature dropped to freezing point and his face turned rigid.

They stayed in that strange position, and looked at each other for several minutes until Xie Yan spoke in distress: "...I'm...sorry, Xiao Nian."

Shu Nian still didn't recover from the [4] unexpected turn of events. He was still a little bit weary. He lowered his head and looked at his chest that was swollen due to the kisses.

[T/N: [4] 虎头蛇尾 literally means 'tiger's head and snake's tail' which means something that ended abruptly or something that started out great but ended up poorly.]

"I'm, I'm sorry Xiao Nian...I'm drunk...I've made a mistake...I regard you as a woman."

Shu Nian came back to his sense and just responded with an "ah". However he was unable to show a bright and understanding smile.

"Xiao Nian, I will make love to you if you are a woman. I only wanted to be with you..."

"Why are you a man...I don't like men..." Xie Yan was still befuddled with alcohol.

Shu Nian smiled wryly, and comfortingly patted Xie Yan's broad back that was holding him.

...Yes, I had always known that you don't like men.

Anne's Rant:

BLOODY SPOILER!

Okay! I'm pissed off! Apparently those human filmed both BE and HE for Part 2! But they chose to aired the BE and cut all those juicy parts! I'm not sure if it's because of the ban or what but just hope that they will release the HE! The trailer was a combination of both endings that they filmed. Guess they wanted to pull what Lanlin used to do. Anyway, plotwise it wasn't that bad. They kinda stick to the plot.

Please note that some part might be incorrect as I don't know how to translate it to English. Mistakes are bound to happen and corrections are very welcome.
