Chapter 102: Wanting to Know What It Feels Like to Be Someone’s Baby
Because the two people who were supposed to be putting up window flowers had suddenly gone off to “mess around,” the villa appeared quite empty.
The villa used a large-area glass window design, especially on the first floor. Standing dozens or even a hundred meters away, one could see the furnishings on the first floor.
Because it was a high-end residential complex, regardless of whether it was inside or outside, the greenery was heavily focused on.
Behind a tall tree outside, a figure was staring intently at the second floor of the villa. Those cloudy eyes…
…were filled with greed.
Lin Huaizhi and Huo Chen “messed around” until evening.
They didn’t actually “do it” for longâonly a few hours. It was mainly that they were exhausted afterward, so they slept after finishing.
When they woke up.
The streetlights in the complex were already lit.
Since the New Year was approaching, the streetlights and trees in the complex were hung with red decorations. One glance and it was filled with the flavor of the New Year. Add a song like Gong Xi Fa Cai, and one could practically reach out for a red envelope.
Huo Chen carried Lin Huaizhi to take a bath.
After tidying up and coming out, they first finished sticking up the remaining window flowers, then swept up the larger pieces of trash, and then turned on the robot vacuum.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was New Year’s Eve.
After Lin Huaizhi moved here, he had set up an entertainment room. Inside were a projector and computers, as well as some gaming equipmentâconsidered a dating venue for the two at home.
In the evening, Lin Huaizhi brought snacks in, as well as several cans of beer, and then lay on the sofa with Huo Chen to start playing games.
The game was still that two-player game from when they filmed the romance show (It Takes Two).
Last time, Lin Huaizhi played as May, but this time he insisted on playing as Codyâmainly for the impractical “advantage” of being the husband. Huo Chen naturally went along with him.
Don’t look at how tacitly they cooperated in the romance show; playing it again now, Lin Huaizhi was showing “incidents” left and right.
Naturally, he was doing it on purpose.
In the vast majority of cases, it was intentional.
Games were meant to be noisy and rowdy; what was the point of just smoothly playing through it like this with Huo Chen?
“Whatâs with you?”
Huo Chen, who was questioned, looked dazed: “Whatâs with me?”
Lin Huaizhi was emboldened and confident, just short of putting his hands on his hips to interrogate: “Why are you repeating my words? Just now, you clearly should have waited for me. Why didn’t you? It made me miss the jump.”
Huo Chen looked at the jumping spot, which had absolutely nothing to do with whether he waited or not. A question mark slowly appeared over his head.
“Playing like this is boring. Letâs set a punishment?”
One reason was that he always went along with Lin Huaizhi, and the second was that Huo Chen also wanted to know what Lin Huaizhi wanted to do, so he agreed without any hesitation.
“Sure. What kind of punishment do you want to set?”
Lin Huaizhi smiled slyly: “The punishment is: whoever dies first has to feed the other person something to eat.”
This kind of punishment couldn’t even be called a punishment; Huo Chen naturally agreed without hesitation.
However, Lin Huaizhi wasn’t finished: “Iâm not talking about feeding by hand, but with the mouth.”
“Okay.”
Huo Chen still couldn’t help but lose his composure and laugh. “But is this really a punishment and not a reward?”
Lin Huaizhi also laughed: “The first time I kissed you, you even choked me. If it weren’t for my high endurance, I would have been choked to death by you. Now you think feeding with the mouth is a reward?”
Huo Chen inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
He thought for a moment and said: “At that time, you suddenly kissed me; it indeed made me feel very offended. After all, we weren’t familiar. Even if you said you wanted to pursue me, you shouldn’t have been so lacking in ‘measure.'”
Lin Huaizhi wasn’t intending to use this matter to settle old scores, but he indeed heard Huo Chenâs “praising after criticizing.”
“What about now?”
Huo Chen smiled. His face, usually cold and stern enough to make people afraid, was tinged with tenderness. “Now I regret that our meeting was on that variety show. If only we could have met earlier. I wouldn’t have treated you like that in front of so many people.”
Lin Huaizhiâs smile deepened.
“Hearing your meaning, if we had met earlier and I did that to you, you would have just choked me in private?”
Huo Chen pulled him into his embrace. “My meaning is: if we had met earlier, we could have understood each other earlier, and been together earlier.”
Lin Huaizhi sat in the manâs lap, tilting his head up to kiss him. Originally, this posture would only allow him to kiss the chin, but the man seemed to realize this; when Lin Huaizhi tilted his head up, he also lowered his.
This was a warm kiss.
There was no lust, just a kiss.
Lin Huaizhi wanted to say something else, but firecrackers suddenly sounded outside. Long City banned firecrackers every year, but few people actually didn’t set them off.
Lin Huaizhi swallowed his unspoken words and instead said: “Baby, happy New Year’s Eve.”
The man gazed into his eyes. Two seconds later, he also said: “Baby, happy New Year’s Eve.”
Lin Huaizhi was stunned.
“After dating for so long, this is the first time youâve called me baby.”
Huo Chen was not the type to show his feelings. He was used to hiding his true thoughts. Toward Lin Huaizhi, with whom he had a close relationship, he sometimes didn’t know what counted as being good to him.
He also didn’t know how to love someone.
But he could learn. Whatever Lin Huaizhi did, he would do.
So he said to Lin Huaizhi: “If you like it, then Iâll call you that from now on. If you don’t like it, then however you want me to call you, I can.”
“Just ‘Baby’ then.”
Lin Huaizhi cupped Huo Chenâs face and pecked him.
“I also want to know what it feels like to be someone elseâs baby.”
On New Year’s Day, Lin Huaizhi and Huo Chen cooked hotpot; the base was the kind they fried themselves.
The two were very full.
This year, Zheng Xiu’ang hadn’t gone back for the New Year. Zhou Ning had a fight with his girlfriend and ran over on New Year’s Day. Just right for four peopleâjust right for a game of Mahjong.
They fought for a whole day.
Huo Chen was the only one who lost.
The stakes weren’t largeâjust a ten-yuan base. In the end, it was calculated that Huo Chen lost nearly ten thousand.
Lin Huaizhi also lost.
But not as much as Huo Chenâonly five or six thousand.
He put his arm around Huo Chenâs shoulder and whispered in his ear: “We really have chemistry; even losing, we lose together.”
“Hey, hey, hey! I just had a fight with my girlfriend; you two aren’t allowed to show off your love!”
Hearing this, Zheng Xiu’ang almost “crashed.” He looked at Zhou Ning, who was speaking so boldly, and thought: In the new year, seeking death like thisâyou really don’t want to live!
However, the scene of blood spraying everywhere that Zheng Xiu’ang imagined didn’t happen. Lin Huaizhi just patted Zhou Ningâs head, his voice not sounding even a bit angry.
“Then thereâs nothing for it. If I don’t show off today, then when? If you can’t take it, then hurry back. Don’t disturb my ‘world for two’ with Huo Chen.”
Huo Chen didn’t speak.
His Boss didn’t even speak!! Was he really going to “follow his wife” to this extent?!!
Zheng Xiu’ang remembered the days when he was lectured and given cold faces, and instantly felt that love was exhausted. In the end, was Zhou Ning the “Legitimate Secretary”?! While he was just the Bossâs “Concubine Secretary”!!
Actually, it wasn’t Huo Chenâs fault.
Zhou Ning and Lin Huaizhi were both mentors and friends. He respected Lin Huaizhi, but his relationship with him was also good. Unlike Zheng Xiu’ang and Huo Chen, he could sometimes be casual with Lin Huaizhi.
Lin Huaizhi tolerated Zhou Ning, so he naturally did the same.
The fault only lay in Zheng Xiu’ang following Huo Chen too early and having witnessed all of Huo Chenâs bad temper and coldness.
Unlike Zhou Ning.
Because Zhou Ning was Lin Huaizhiâs assistant and because he had been “hooked” by Lin Huaizhi, he was even more amiable toward the other personâs secretary.
Zheng Xiu’ang thought and thought.
Finally, looking at the thick stack of money in his hand, he finally felt a bit better.
The New Year was considered relatively happy.
However, not long after sending off Zheng Xiu’ang and Zhou Ning that day, people from the Huo family ancestral home arrived.
The ones who came were Huo Chengzhang and Li Meiqing.
The property management of this villa area was still professional. Because the system didn’t have the visitors’ information, they asked Huo Chen. He said he wouldn’t see them, so they didn’t let the two through the main gate.
Huo Chengzhangâs face was extremely dark.
However, in front of people, he wanted face and wouldn’t say anything. Similarly, Li Meiqing was the first who couldn’t hold it in and directly started cursing.
“Youâre just a lowly gatekeeper, what are you being arrogant about! Do you know who I am! Playing that ‘dog-eyes-looking-down-on-people’ routine with meâIâll make sure you don’t have a job immediately!”
