Chapter 18: Take Off Your Pants
Ye Ran was fuming, hands on his hips, wanting to correct the youth before the youth’s eyes became as blind as his second brother’s.
The youth re-evaluated the little toddler before him. Wearing a little dress, even though his body and face were filthy, one could still see the pink and tender skin beneath the dust.
“You’re a boy?”
“Of course.”
“How do you prove it?”
Ye Ran was dumbfounded. How did being a boy require proof?
The youth used the most direct method. “Take off your pants.”
Ye Ran’s temper instantly exploded. Clinging tightly to the little undies under his dress, he let out a shout: “Rogue!”
…
“Stupid rogue, see if I don’t give you a big slap…”
Ye Ran sat up in shock from the bed as if he were a reanimated corpse.
When they arrived home, Ye Ran was still asleep. Chi Yuheng simply carried the person upstairs. As soon as Ye Ran’s butt touched the edge of the bed, he was like a fish entering the sea, diving straight into the quilt.
The clothes on his body were wrinkled and folded behind him. Fearing he would be uncomfortable while sleeping, Chi Yuheng had to fish him out and pull his arms out of the sleeves, intending to take off his clothes.
The clothes were only halfway off when he heard the person sleeping like a little pig on the bed give a shout, then sit up with a whoosh.
Chi Yuheng had been leaning forward while undressing him; Ye Ran sat up so suddenly that he couldn’t dodge in time. Bang!
The two heads collided just like that, sounding louder than “kowtowing to heaven and earth” in ancient times.
The originally groggy Ye Ran woke up instantly. He covered his head which was aching from the collision and wailed, “Damn it, who put a scale weight on my bed!”
A scale weight?
Chi Yuheng was laughed into anger by this description.
Was there a scale weight that carried him, took care of him, and even undressed him like this?
Ye Ran let go of his hand and only then saw clearly that the hard “scale weight” was Chi Yuheng.
“…”
He deeply doubted what Chi Yuheng’s body was constructed of?!
His pectoral muscles were hard as stone, his abdominal muscles hard as a steel plate, and his head was hard as a scale weight.
He should be from the same generation as reinforced steel.
“You…” Just as he began to speak, Ye Ran vaguely felt something awkward at his neck, like a bunch of things were clustered there, very hot.
He lowered his head, trying to find the cause of this feeling.
His clothes were all bunched up at his neck, the two sleeves hanging down like wings that were trying to sprout but couldn’t.
Since the clothes were all bunched up at the top, it caused the top to be hot and the bottom to be cold.
Smooth and bare, without a single thread, (his body) was exposed to the air.
Ye Ran recoiled violently, his hands tightly clutching his half-removed clothes. He stiffened his neck and said, “Fuck! Chi Yuheng, you actually want to strip my clothes? You rogue!”
Chi Yuheng: “…”
The man looked at the person before him who was like a bristling kitten, a trace of helplessness flickering in his eyes as he explained calmly, “Not stripping, undressing.”
Ye Ran blinked his pitiful cat-like eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering twice. “What’s the difference?”
Initially, it was nothing, but looking at him like this now, Chi Yuheng’s Adam’s apple rolled unconsciously. “Don’t you usually sleep naked? I was afraid you’d be uncomfortable sleeping in clothes, so I helped you take them off.”
Ye Ran’s eyes widened. “How do you know I like sleeping naked?!”
Chi Yuheng stated quite calmly, “Weren’t you like this when you were small? You insisted on coming over to sleep with me. Before entering the quilt, you’d take off your clothes and toss away your pants, saying you could only sleep comfortably like that.”
Ye Ran: “…”
Ye Ran: “???”
The air seemed to have a pause button pressed. Ye Ran’s head was buzzing.
After a long while, Ye Ran stiffened his neck and glared at him, carrying a few traces of forced shame and indignation. “Chi Yuheng, is it interesting to always talk about things from my childhood?!”
“Besides, just because I like sleeping naked, you take off my clothes? Why didn’t you take off my pants!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Ran regretted it.
These words sounded way too strange, like a proactive provocation, or like he was rushing to let Chi Yuheng undress him.
Sure enough, the eyes that were filled with helplessness just now now held a few more traces of deep teasing.
The man moved forward a bit, his knees almost touching Ye Ran’s legs. His voice was lowered even further, like a feather lightly brushing over Ye Ran’s earlobe, carrying a bit of deliberate allure: “That isn’t impossible.”
Ye Ran’s rhythm was completely messed up.
The color on his face vanished with a shua and then turned red again. He was as flustered as a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he even started stuttering. “You you you… I… I don’t need you… I can do it myself…”
After saying it, he wished he could bite his tongue. Why did he say that? Why should he take off his pants in front of Chi Yuheng?
But the words were already out; if he didn’t take them off, it would be as if he were afraid of Chi Yuheng.
Ye Ran was so focused on being stubborn with Chi Yuheng that he didn’t notice at all why their topic had strangely shifted to pants.
A subtle atmosphere spread between the two. Before Chi Yuheng could wait for Ye Ran’s next move, a loud shout broke the silence.
“Ge, are you home?”
“Haha, your good brother is here!”
This voice came from downstairs.
When Chi Yuheng carried Ye Ran into the bedroom, he hadn’t had time to close the door, so they heard every single word clearly now.
How much Ye Ran usually disliked this person was how much he liked him now.
He was practically his savior!
Ye Ran looked at Chi Yuheng, and it happened that Chi Yuheng was looking at him too. Both of them spoke almost simultaneously.
Ye Ran: “The troublemaker is here.”
Chi Yuheng: “Youchu is here.”
Now there was no need to perform the act of “taking off pants.” Ye Ran logically dressed himself and went downstairs.
Chi Youchu had custom-ordered a large cake from somewhere and was handing it to a servant.
Ye Ran looked at that cake and roughly estimated it was about as big as two of his heads.
Chi Youchu instructed, “This cake is ice cream, it melts easily. Definitely don’t put it in the fridge; put it in the freezer first and only take it out when it’s dinner time.”
The servant took the cake with a smile. “Alright, Second Young Master.”
Ye Ran leaned against the stairs railing and looked down, arms crossed, and said loudly with a smile, “Ice cream cake is my favorite.”
Hearing this, Chi Youchu looked up and saw the punchable person on the stairs. He said with disdain, “Who cares if you like it or not? I didn’t buy it for you; I bought it for my brother.”
Ye Ran raised an eyebrow, walked down two steps, and stared straight at Chi Youchu. “Is that so? But I remember your brother doesn’t like eating things that are too cold. You bought him an ice cream cake because you want to give him a stomach ache on purpose?”
Chi Youchu: “I just happened to pass by the cake shop and bought it along the way.”
The smile on Ye Ran’s face deepened. “Oh~ you bought it ‘along the way,’ and also happened to let the clerk add four words to the cake—Happy Birthday?”
Chi Youchu: “…”
