Chapter 161: Crying Sets the Mood
“Huaiye.”
“Huaiye!”
Gu Huaiye snapped back from his thoughts and turned to look at Xie Miaohan.
“What’s wrong?”
Xie Miaohan stared at him with concern. “You’ve been distracted all day. Are you thinking about something?”
Gu Huaiye pursed his lips, then shook his head. “Nothing really. Did you want to tell me something just now?”
“I wanted to ask, after we get off the plane, do you want to go straight to a restaurant to eat, or go back to the apartment Xiang Wanxing prepared for us first?”
“Let’s go to the apartment first,” Gu Huaiye said. “I want to unpack a bit so we don’t end up sleeping too late. Don’t you have a meeting with Xiang Wanxing tomorrow?”
“Mn, but the meeting is tomorrow at noon, so sleeping a bit later doesn’t matter.”
Gu Huaiye gave a hum of acknowledgement and leaned against Xie Miaohan’s shoulder.
“Miaomiao, I’m going to sleep for a while. I was too excited last night and didn’t sleep much. Wake me up when the plane is about to land.”
“Okay.”
Xie Miaohan adjusted his posture to let Gu Huaiye sleep more comfortably.
The moment Gu Huaiye closed his eyes, the scene from last night surfaced in his mind.
In his dream, Xie Miaohan had been crying and calling out “Brother.”
He had been part of Xie Miaohan’s childhood and knew that Xie Miaohan didn’t have any close older brothers.
If there had to be one, it was only him, the one who had traveled to the past.
Did Xie Miaohan regain those memories as well?
He remembered the first time he discovered Xie Miaohan self-harming; Xie Miaohan had been emotionally unstable and had also called him “Brother.”
At the time, he thought he had misheard, and in his haste to comfort Xie Miaohan, he had tossed the matter to the back of his mind.
If Xie Miaohan really had those memories, why didn’t he mention it?
Gu Huaiye wasn’t sure if Xie Miaohan had fully recalled those memories, so he hadn’t brought up what happened last night, deciding to observe a bit longer.
That memory wasn’t a happy one. He had abandoned Xie Miaohan time and again, plunging Xie Miaohan into endless despair, even resulting in his face being disfigured.
He didn’t dare bring it up rashly, fearing it might aggravate Xie Miaohan’s condition.
Gu Huaiye wasn’t sleepy at all; his mind kept churning over what to do next.
Until the plane landed, he still hadn’t come up with a good solution.
“Huaiye, wake up.” Xie Miaohan gently shook his arm, his tone tender. “We’ve arrived at the District B airport.”
Gu Huaiye pretended to just wake up and yawned.
“That was fast.”
Xie Miaohan rubbed his head. “When we get to the apartment, you can sleep a bit more. I’ll go to a restaurant to bring back food for you. You can eat once you’ve slept enough.”
“No more sleep. If I sleep too much, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Xie Miaohan curved his lips in a smile, lowering his head to lightly kiss Gu Huaiye’s cheek.
“Husband, we’ve returned to this place again.” Xie Miaohan paused, looking a bit apprehensive. “Once we start, there’s no turning back. are you sure you want to stay in District B with me?”
Gu Huaiye rolled his eyes, feigning unhappiness. “I’m already here, and you’re still saying things like that. Besides, you came to District B for me. If I left you here alone, what kind of person would I be?”
Xie Miaohan tightened his grip on Gu Huaiye’s hand. “I will move the Gu Group here as soon as possible, and then bring your father over.”
“Don’t take everything on your own shoulders.” Gu Huaiye looked at Xie Miaohan with a serious expression. “I can help you too.”
Xie Miaohan nodded, his gaze softening.
“I know.”
Xiang Wanxing was indeed reliable. Not only did he sort out their residency permits for District B in a short time, but he also secured an apartment for them in a bustling area of District B.
Gu Huaiye liked this apartment very much. The living room had a massive floor-to-ceiling window offering a view of the bustling city outside.
“This window is quite pretty, though there might not be much privacy,” Gu Huaiye said.
“It’s one-way glass. People outside can’t see in.”
Gu Huaiye suddenly thought of something. Wearing a sly smile, he pulled up Xie Miaohan, who was unpacking.
Xie Miaohan followed him, confused, until Gu Huaiye pressed him against the glass. He immediately realized what the other intended to do, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Gu Huaiye raised his head and kissed Xie Miaohan’s lips, his hands roving restlessly inside the other’s shirt.
Xie Miaohan let out a soft hum, indulgently letting him do as he pleased.
Gu Huaiye left several red marks on Xie Miaohan’s skin before letting him go, still looking unsatisfied.
“I’ll bully you more tonight.”
Even though it was one-way glass, it still felt too shameful. He didn’t dare actually strip Xie Miaohan’s clothes off.
If Xie Miaohan was wrong about the glass and people outside saw Miaomiao’s body, wouldn’t he be taking a huge loss?
Xie Miaohan stared intently at Gu Huaiye, a bit annoyed that Gu Huaiye had riled him up only to stop halfway.
He lowered his head and bit Gu Huaiye’s lip punitively.
“Tonight, even if you cry and beg for mercy, I won’t go soft on you.”
“I won’t cry!” Gu Huaiye denied with a straight face. “That was just my eyes getting sore, forcing tears out uncontrollably.”
“You clearly had your eyes closed the whole time. How could they get sore?”
Gu Huaiye: “……”
“Fine, making fun of me now, are you?” Gu Huaiye deliberately kept a stern face and reached out to tickle him. “When I fucked you, didn’t you cry and cry? You had way more tears than me.”
The two wrestled playfully, tumbling onto the sofa together.
Xie Miaohan lay on the bottom, protecting Gu Huaiye who was lying on top of him with his hands, looking up at him with bright eyes.
Gu Huaiye’s cheeks flushed, and he said stiffly, “What? Did I say something wrong?”
“Huaiye, do you want to fuck me?”
Gu Huaiye’s breathing hitched, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.
His technique actually wasn’t great. Once he got into it, he couldn’t help but leave Xie Miaohan covered in injuries.
He didn’t want to send Xie Miaohan to the hospital again.
“No. I was the one bullying you before; now it’s your turn.” Gu Huaiye kissed the corner of Xie Miaohan’s lips and smiled. “I prefer being serviced now, so you just need to service me well.”
Xie Miaohan laughed along with him. “Then I’ll try not to make you cry.”
Gu Huaiye huffed, “Crying sets the mood.”
He sat up straight, locking eyes seriously with Xie Miaohan.
“Did you not cry back then because it felt good?”
It was the first time Xie Miaohan had answered a question on this topic. A layer of red flushed across his handsome face; his eyes darted away, too embarrassed to meet Gu Huaiye’s gaze.
After a long while, he whispered.
“It really… felt very good.”
Gu Huaiye: Fuck!
So cute.
That’s practically foul play!
He couldn’t take it anymore!
