Chapter 49: He Loves Me So Much; How to Adjust Breathing When Kissing Boyfriend…
!!!
Fireworks exploded chaotically in Lu Xunye’s brain.
For a moment, he forgot he was being forcibly kissed. Startled, he didn’t close his mouth in time and was licked by something wet, warm, and slippery.
This kiss was filled with punishment and dominance.
But after the ferocity passed, as it gently touched and ground against his numb lips, it carried a hint of carefulness and inexplicable tenderness.
For Lu Xunye right now, such a stimulating event was something he hadn’t even seen before, let alone experienced personally.
Consequently, he was dazed, not daring to breathe loudly.
The back of his neck was pressed down, his jaw gripped tight.
Oxygen was being consumed rapidly; his face turned purplish-red from the lack of air.
The sound of his accelerating heartbeat echoed in his ears. The wire in his brain that had been disconnected for so long finally reconnected.
He grabbed the other person’s shoulders and pushed forward, but as if sensing his resistance, the kiss became even more forceful.
His limbs lost their strength. Lu Xunye made muffled wu wu sounds of protest in his throat but received no attention.
A sharp pain on his lip, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth, a flash of white light before his eyesâand he collapsed limply onto the other person.
…
The stinging pain of a cold object pressing against a wound on his lip woke Lu Xunye with a start, breathing rapidly.
He saw the young man by the bed holding a cotton swab. Recalling what had just happened, he involuntarily licked his lipsâbitter, astringent, and painful.
But none of that was the point!
The System had only said he and the beautiful boy in front of him were a couple.
And he had been kissed…
His boyfriend was good-looking, just… a bit fierce.
He thought, our relationship must have been very good before.
This time, I probably made him angry.
Lu Xunye secretly decided: Then I definitely won’t go back. I absolutely will not capture the Protagonist Shou’s heart!
Meeting Shen Yunqian’s gaze, a blush flew up his face. He pulled the quilt over his head.
Seeing that he had licked the medicine off, Shen Yunqian frowned in displeasure.
He leaned over, reached out, and grabbed the edge of the quilt. Just as he was about to pull it down with force, the person under the quilt moved, revealing a pair of eyes that were dodging his gaze.
“Can we not kiss for now? I… I’m not ready yet.”
Shen Yunqian sensed something was wrong with him and called the doctor in.
The doctor asked Lu Xunye a few questions and conducted some instrument checks.
After calling Shen Yunqian outside, he explained that Lu Xunye had temporary memory confusion, which would recover slowly.
During this period, some memory cognition deviations might occur, and the family should cooperate.
Appropriate stimulation could also help the patient recover memories.
The cause might be a small blood clot in the brain that hadn’t dissipated, or it could be psychological factors.
When Shen Yunqian stepped back into the ward, he bumped into the person eavesdropping at the door.
Lu Xunye was hunched over, creeping stealthily. Before he could slip away, he was grabbed by the scruff of his neck and dragged back to the hospital bed in a guilty panic.
“You still want to run?”
Lu Xunye fell onto the bed. Just as he straightened up, he faced the sudden interrogation.
Looking up at the other person’s solemn face, he hurriedly grabbed his hand. “I wasn’t running. Don’t chase me away.”
Shen Yunqian’s flaring temper instantly subsided by half. “Hm?”
“Can I ask…” Lu Xunye pointed to his head. “How did I hit my head?”
Shen Yunqian’s expression was flat. He stared at him calmly but didn’t shake off his hand, remaining silent as if pondering something.
Just as Lu Xunye felt uneasy and lowered his head helplessly…
Shen Yunqian moved closer to the bed and sat down, elbows resting on his crossed knees. Two fingers pinched Lu Xunye’s chin, lifting it. His eyes were dark and dangerous.
“You really want to know?”
Forced to look up, Lu Xunye felt the hand holding his chin tighten. He had a bad premonition. His voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s. “…Yes.”
Shen Yunqian ruthlessly withdrew his hand and leaned back against the chair, his tone cold. “You were meeting a lover privately. I caught you in bed. You hit your head on the door while trying to escape.”
As soon as the words fell, the System screamed: [Ahhhhhhhh! What he, he, he, he said is…]
Lu Xunye held a faint hope: [Fake?]
The System shook twice. To ensure the host would do the mission, it decided to go against its conscience: […True.]
Lu Xunye’s sky collapsed. His scum dad, whom he hated most, hadn’t even cheated, yet he himself had cheated!
He looked up, trying to find traces of lying on the young man’s face. Unfortunately… there were none.
“I…” Lu Xunye felt as if his heart were being squeezed by a powerful hand, making it hard to breathe. The fingers of his empty hand clawed tightly at the bed board, almost digging in.
He wanted to scream to vent his emotions, but when he opened his mouth, not a sound came out. He was trembling all over with anger.
He was angry at himself.
When his peers were imagining what kind of partner they would find in the future, the young Lu Xunye only dared to hope a little in the dead of night.
He had made a promise countless times, one that only he knew: he would absolutely cherish and love his other half.
But… how could this happen?
Are some things really carved into genes and unchangeable?
A dull pain in his chest drowned out the sudden sharp pain in the back of his neck.
It hurt too much, like a rusty iron knife thrust in horizontally and then pulled out raw, leaving a gaping hole leaking wind.
Shen Yunqian’s face changed slightly. He rushed over, supporting Lu Xunye’s arm, his eyes full of panic.
He explained in a frantic mess, “I lied to you. You got the injury saving me. I was just afraid you wouldn’t remember and would cut ties with me, I…”
Before he could finish, his eyes were stung by the blood Lu Xunye suddenly spat out.
Lu Xunye’s body tilted and fell, caught by a warm embrace.
The scattered bloodstains on his clean face were washed away by tears falling like broken beads from above.
Shen Yunqian tried to wipe the blood from his lips with his hand, but the more he wiped, the more there was. The tears in his eyes blocked his vision, making it blurrier and blurrier.
His trembling, blood-stained hand was held by Lu Xunye. Eyelashes fluttering, the falling tears landed on Lu Xunye’s side profile and rolled down.
Once his vision cleared, Shen Yunqian looked at him helplessly and timidly.
Lu Xunye opened his mouth and silently mouthed a few words.
Shen Yunqian understood.
He said: He isn’t me.
He asked: Can we get to know each other again?
Shen Yunqian’s tears flowed even harder. He nearly broke the call button, his only recourse to hug Lu Xunye even tighter.
After Lu Xunye spat out the blood, the congestion in his chest cleared up. He only fell into a deep sleep afterward due to mental exhaustion.
Upon waking, his first reaction was to scan the room for Shen Yunqian. Only when he saw the person by the bed did his suspended heart settle.
Shen Yunqian’s eyes, already shadowed with dark circles, were now red, the iris color muddied by bloodshot veins. Seeing Lu Xunye wake up…
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse. “Are you thirsty? I’ll pour you some water.”
Lu Xunye thought the other person was the one who needed water.
As he spoke, Shen Yunqian moved to release Lu Xunye’s hand to get the water, but Lu Xunye gripped him back.
With a slight pull, Shen Yunqian caught off guard, fell forward.
He hurriedly braced his hand on the edge of the bed to stop himself from falling onto the other person, eyes wide as he looked at the face beneath him.
Lu Xunye looked a bit unnaturalâa mix of eagerness after accepting the change in identity and guilt after doing something wrong.
“I didn’t mean to make you angry. Don’t be unhappy. I can make it up to you. I… don’t want to break up.”
Lu Xunye’s voice lost confidence with the last few words.
He turned his head slightly, almost imperceptibly, shifting his gaze to avoid eye contact.
Shen Yunqian didn’t speak. Faced with this cute side of the other person he had never seen before, his heart felt as if it had been lightly brushed by a feather.
Maintaining the posture, he said softly, “Turn your face back. Look at me.”
Lu Xunye couldn’t ignore the burning gaze fixed on his face no matter what. He swallowed, closed his eyes, and turned back resignedly, waiting for his final sentence.
His lips suddenly softened. He opened his eyes in shock, his double eyelids adding a new fold in surprise, though they quickly returned to normal.
“You.”
Lu Xunye managed only one syllable before getting pecked on the lips again.
Thinking of the intensity on the rooftop, he unconsciously licked his lower lip, immediately awakened by the pain of the wound.
“Don’t overthink it. You didn’t cheat.” Shen Yunqian leaned in and placed a kiss on his forehead. “I won’t separate from you.”
Whether you want to or not, he added silently in his heart.
The kiss through the gauze felt incredibly intimate.
The sense of dĂŠjĂ vu made Lu Xunye believe even more that this person truly loved him.
Even if he had done something terrible, this love was enough to let the past go.
Love… is that something I can have too?
Before Shen Yunqian could pull away, Lu Xunye, emboldened by unknown courage, held the back of his head and kissed upwards impulsively.
But his aim was off, and he smashed heavily onto the other’s nose tip.
The nose tip was slightly cool. Accompanied by the pain in his lower lip, several images flashed before his eyes.
It seemed they had kissed like this before, bumping noses, after which the other person had a nosebleed for a long time.
Lu Xunye instantly shrank back in fright, looking at the nose tip he had turned pink with the impact. He asked guilty, “Are you okay?”
Shen Yunqian sat back on the stool, touching his nose at the question. “I’m fine.”
“Wait for me a moment, I’ll go buy food.” He hurriedly poured a glass of water and shoved it into Lu Xunye’s hand. When he reached the door, he turned back and said one word sternly: “No.”
Realizing something, his tone softened. “No running. Let me know where you are.”
Lu Xunye nodded. “Okay.”
After the person left, Lu Xunye touched his burning face and screamed silently, pulling up the quilt to wrap himself up.
The System guessed that if not for the narrow single hospital bed, he might have rolled around a few times. It didn’t matter, as long as he did the mission.
Lu Xunye picked up the phone next to the pillow. A moment later, the browser search history was filled with:
[How to adjust breathing when kissing boyfriend?]
[Is it shameful to faint from being kissed by boyfriend?]
[Is there any chance of redemption after cheating?]
[Boyfriend is too good-looking, is it a brain problem to want to look at him all the time?]
[After hitting head, having a system in the brain after transmigrating, is it schizophrenia?]
[Symptoms of schizophrenia]
[How to prove the previous world was real after transmigrating into a book?]
The System clicked its tongue watching. Its host had such an unknown side.
It didn’t know if it should remind Lu Xunye that unless it was restricted-level behavior, the System could see what the host was doing when online.
BuzzâBuzzâ
The sound of a phone vibrating lingered in the quiet room.
Lu Xunye’s hands holding his phone froze.
The sound came from another direction. He followed the sound and found it coming from the pocket of the coat draped over the back of the chair.
He hesitated for two seconds, then took the object out. It was a mobile phone.
There was no contact name saved for the number.
Didn’t he go to buy food? Did he forget his phone and borrow the restaurant owner’s phone to have me send it?
Thinking this, Lu Xunye slid the answer button. Before he could make a sound, the other side spoke first.
“President Shen, the driver from that car accident four years ago really didn’t die. We found him.”
“Ever since his face was destroyed, he underwent reconstruction surgery and got a new identity. He’s living in the West District of Haishi, in Shengji Alley in the old town.”
“We also found he has a property in the wealthy district under his name, bought with full payment three years ago. He’s currently preparing for his son’s wedding. President Su said not to alert the snake in the grass yet and waits for your decision.”
“What do you think? Should we take him out?”
The cold voice on the other end of the phone crawled into Lu Xunye’s ear like a venomous snake’s tongue.
Lu Xunye felt the phone in his hand becoming increasingly hot. He reflexively hung up.
Clatter.
He looked up to see Shen Yunqian, who had returned, standing quietly at the door.
Lu Xunye: “…”
His hand trembled, and the phone fell from his grip.
