I have never expected you to like a man.
Treat me like a woman...It doesn't matter even if the affection is fake. I will still be very happy.
Therefore the next time Xie Yan holds him, he would hold him closely, wouldn't control himself from falling into the sensation, and hold the back of Xie Yan's head while kissing fervently. He wouldn't struggle and would loosen his jaw.
Xie Yan was really shocked from the moment he woke up. He sat on the bed and looked at the bedspread that was crumpled into a ball and gawked at the marks on Shu Nian's naked body for a long time.
He had never been collected, but this time he wouldn't be able to calm down even if he smoked several cigarettes.
Although he was slightly drunk, he didn't forget the things that happened last night and he was glad that he'd managed to remember and fortunately did not do anything that was too off the mark when he was under the influence of alcohol. He remembered that Shu Nian hardly resisted at that time and even kissed him back.
He was not an idiot that didn't have any common sense. He could have guessed the thing that had happened.
He turned around and looked at Shu Nian that was still sleeping. Shu Nian looked calm, and his lips that were swollen due to the kissing were slightly opened. His expression was serene, without any discomfort and resentment. Suddenly there was a clap of thunder in his mind, and he almost exploded on the spot.
Shu Nian is actually a...Shu Nian is really a...
Xie Yan put out the cigarette that he was smoking, and jumped out of bed. He got dressed quickly and went downstairs to make a call using a phone the living room: "Hello. Dad? It is me..."
Shortly after Xie Yan hung up the phone, Shu Nian went downstairs with the remnant moisture after washing his face. His appearance was completely placid although his eyes were still swollen. His complexion was slightly pale and it was almost translucent due to his poor health. He has gentle eyes, and it was slightly droopy. If he were to be judged solely by his eyes, he was considered to be quite unattractive. Fortunately he has a very smooth and elegant nose bridge and chin. It exhibited a unique beauty when coupled up with his eyes.
Actually, Shu Nian was also tall, but he was too thin, and has a habit to slightly hunch when walking. His habit indirectly made him appeared shorter in Xie Yan's eyes.
Shu Nian saw Xie Yan sitting on the couch and he smiled nervously. He felt slightly guilty as he woke up later than Xie Yan: "You don't have breakfast yet? Is it okay if we're late to work?"
His calm demeanor made Xie Yan's chest tightened: "No need to hurry. You can have a day off today. I have something to tell you."
Shu Nian was stunned for a few seconds. He went to the couch and sat properly opposite of Xie Yan. Xie Yan's serious expression that he rarely used made Shu Nian became alerted.
"Have you ever thought to further your study?" Shu Nian looked at him in dazed and he explained further, "What I mean is that you've graduated from university for so many years. Those things that you've learned previously are mostly outdated and we thought that we should give you a chance to learn something new."
"Learning new things?" Shu Nian was surprised and hesitated to say anything.
"Yes." Xie Yan lit a cigarette, and said bluntly, "We planned to send you to abroad and we will help to arrange everything regarding your admission. You can return home once you get a master's degree."
Shu Nian was speechless for a moment. It was obvious that he was in a very awkward position: "I...I have left school for so many years...You also know that I'm very bad in study. Maybe..."
"Xie Company has always been very strict with staff's requirements." Xie Yan irrefutably added.
Shu Nian became restless: "I never had any errors and I can do those things very well..."
"There's nothing wrong right now, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any problem in the future. Besides you are now a manager, yet your inferiors have higher education than you. Isn't it awful?"
The argument was obviously unfair, but Shu Nian was still clueless and still defended himself in vain: "My qualification is not that high...but I have been working at Xie Company for a very long period, hence I have enough experiences..."
Xie Yan waved his hands impatiently, and stood up abruptly: "No need to say anything. The procedure will be settled quickly, and it's also easy to get in touch with the faculty. Your class starts on spring. There's not much time left. You should get ready."
"Wait a minute, Xie Yan!" Shu Nian became anxious due to Xie Yan's statement that didn't leave any room for discussion. He hastily reached out to grab Xie Yan's hand that was holding a cigarette. Xie Yan stiffened for a while, and then pulled his arm away without batting an eye.
Looking at Xie Yan's stern look, Shu Nian finally realized everything and his thin shoulders shrank. Xie Yan watched as the hand that had grabbed him just now slowly retreated from his peripheral vision, and he felt his body flinching due to the situation.
"We did it for your own good," Xie Yan pretended to be calm and let out a couple of cough. He suddenly felt that he was very hypocrite, but it was not completely a lie, "You know that, right?"
He felt that Shu Nian had wanted to say something, but at the end, his Adam's apple only bobbed for several times.
"Very well. There are so many things to do at the company. I'll go first. You can have breakfast alone." Looking at Shu Nian who was sitting quietly and looked hesitantly at the floor, it was obvious that he didn't have mood to eat anything.
"I will drive you to the company." Shu Nian slightly cheered up as he remembered that the role for Xie Yan's personal driver for the past few months was played by him.
"No need." Xie Yan turned it down quickly, "I'll drive by myself."
Shu Nian just replied with an "okay". Xie Yan could clearly heard Shu Nian's inferiority and embarrassment, yet he didn't even plan to change his mind. He stood up and proceeded to leave.
"Xie Yan." Shu Nian called out to him with a very distressed voice, "This...is your order or master's?"
Xie Yan had never expected that Shu Nian would ask him directly. He thought for a while and then he smiled: "Of course it was my dad who called and told me about it." A few hints was enough and attacking Shu Nian in one strike seemed like a bad idea.
He only remembered after he took several steps that the phone in the living room didn't even ring today- it was truly a bad lie.
Glancing back at Shu Nian, he was sitting alone in the living room and he only dressed in a thin shirt that made his body curled due to coldness as his shoulders hunched forward. He looked awfully frail.
The day Shu Nian would go abroad finally arrived and the weather was still cold. For the past few days, Shu Nian always lowered his eyes and his shoulder was slightly shrunk. He was very quiet. He didn't get excited or garrulous when it was almost the time for him to leave. He just quietly helped the old driver to load the luggage into the car. Biting his thin lips, his movements were quite clumsy.
Xie Yan leaned against the door and looked at Shu Nian's frail back. Shu Nian's side profile showed a lack of composure. His hollowed cheeks could occasionally be seen and the muscle on his pale neck would distort when he turned his head slightly. Xie Yan's chest tightened the more he looked at Shu Nian. He got annoyed and lit a cigarette.
His addiction to smoking had begun to become worst recently.
"I'll go first." After loading the luggage, Shu Nian walked towards Xie Yan and did a gesture. The gesture was actually a respectful bow. Xie Yan stubbed out the cigarette after he took a few puff.
"Okay, be careful on the road. I wouldn't send you to the airport." Xie Yan felt uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable. He had thought of accompanying Shu Nian on the departing day, but he dismissed the idea when he suddenly felt irritate.
"Yes." Shu Nian remained silent for a while. Then he laughed to lighten up the atmosphere and said, "I'm very bad at studying...I do not know when I'll return in case I fail my thesis."
"Do not come back if you don't pass." Xie Yan had wanted to joke but somehow it didn't sound like a joke.
"Yes, young master."
Xie Yan coughed until he managed to remain firm with his decision when his heart was stabbed by the thought of not hearing Shu Nian to say that sentence for a several years.
Perhaps Shu Nian really shouldn't get that useless and stupid master's degree. Xie Yan had always understood Shu Nian. Shu Nian might be smart, quite competent, a very diligent worker, and all his works weren't that bad, but he was a 30 years old man who went to a foreign country to continue his study and it might be really hard for him.
But it was truly for his own good. If they stayed away from each other for a quite long time, perhaps he might be able to forget all his fantasies.
Right?
"Young master," Shu Nian suddenly looked resolute when he about to walked away, "Actually, you can simply tell me if you do not want to see me. You don't have to spend so much time to think of a way to get rid of me. "
Shu Nian had already left before Xie Yan could say anything. He walked quickly and hunched slightly. Xie Yan was unable to cook up any excuse. He went into the car and slammed the door closed.
Xie Yan believed his decision was right. He didn't like men and couldn't tolerate to be around a homosexual who wanted to make a move on him. However, the way he handle Shu Nian could already be considered to be very calm and subtle since he didn't have that kind of tolerance towards others.
Once Xie Yan arrived home, Shu Nian's room was empty. There was nothing left except for the subtle lingering scent of Shu Nian. Xie Yan slammed the door and took a deep breath.
Anne's Rant:
There's a reason why Uncontrolled Love Part 2 that was just released is called '1st Version' , 'Version 1' and 'BE version'. Patience is a virtue.
I'll assume that most of you use phone to read in Wattpad. You can pm me by clicking 'Message' that was beside 'Notification'. There are many of you for me to pm one by one. Sigh. Just pm me and I will reply.
