TL: Hua
After Ye Rongxu hung up the phone, his mind suddenly became clear, and he felt relaxed.
Thinking that he would really fall in love with Qin Chaoyan in the future, he couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his lips and fell on the bed with the quilt in his arms.
Dating…
It was his first time.
Ye Rongxu’s eyes lit up slightly when recalling Qin Chaoyan’s facial features and the kiss on the mountain road in his mind. His face turned a shade redder.
No, don’t think about it anymore.
He hugged the quilt, rolled a little on the bed, and exhaled lightly.
When Qin Chaoyan knocked on the door to deliver the fruit, he saw him lying on the bed, holding a corner of the blanket, his cheeks slightly red, and his eyes moist, not knowing what kind of silly joy he was having.
Qin Chaoyan’s eyes dimmed. He put down the fruit plate and asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you so happy?”
Ye Rongxu froze, suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at him blankly: “When did you come in?”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Just now.”
Then he asked, “What were you laughing at just now?”
And he was laughing alone in the room.
Ye Rongxu rubbed his sore cheeks and denied: “I didn’t laugh.”
Then he asked in annoyance, “Why didn’t you knock when you came in?”
Qin Chaoyan had no choice but to fork a piece of fruit to his lips and said, “I knocked, but you didn’t seem to hear it.”
Ye Rongxu bit off the fruit in one bite and didn’t have time to refute. After eating, he found an excuse, saying, “Maybe I was thinking about something, but aren’t you at fault? You should have waited for me to say ‘come in’ before entering.”
“I know, next time.” Qin Chaoyan accepted the advice humbly.
Then he forked another piece of fruit and handed it over.
Ye Rongxu nodded with satisfaction. His boyfriend was really obedient.
So he pinched the small fork that Qin Chaoyan used to pick up the fruit and pushed the fruit in front of him; his eyes couldn’t help but carry a glowing look, but his tone was a little awkward. “You eat too.”
The hands inevitably touched.
Qin Chaoyan lowered his head and looked at the hand in front of him.
The young master was spoiled, and his fingers were beautiful and delicate, more than one shade whiter than his own with thin calluses. Just holding the fork left a mark on the pink fingertips.
It seemed more delicious than the fruit.
Qin Chaoyan lowered his eyes slightly, leaned over slowly, and bit off the fruit.
Lifting his head, he bit into the fruit a few times. His black and white eyes kept looking at Ye Rongxu; his voice muffled, “It’s delicious.”
Ye Rongxu’s fingertips trembled. He always has the illusion of being stared at by a hunter.
He took a deep breath, retracted his hand, and continued to pick up the fruit.
There wasn’t much fruit on the plate, but the two of them took a piece each slowly, and it took them half an hour to finish eating.
When Qin Chaoyan stood up to collect the fruit plate, he noticed the drawing board in the room. He paused and asked, “You can draw?”
“Of course.” Ye Rongxu raised his thin neck and said proudly, “Do you think I don’t have any skills?”
Although his family didn’t have any requirements for him and just wanted him to live happily, they couldn’t really raise him to be useless.
Even for cultural courses, he was taught at home by teachers, so even though he didn’t go to school much, he learned the knowledge of the second year of high school, just one or two years slower than his peers.
In recent months, he hadn’t been studying at home, mainly because he was hospitalized in succession, plus the trouble of breaking off the engagement and adjusting his lifestyle to maintain his health.
In fact, if it weren’t for the sudden kidnapping, he should have continued his classes recently.
But that wasn’t even the point; the point was that he inexplicably wanted to let Qin Chaoyan know that he didn’t just lie at home every day and do nothing.
Maybe people who are in love can’t help but want to show their good side in front of the person they like.
Proud as Young Master Ye, he would also have moments like this.
“I’m not in good health, often hospitalized, and I don’t have much time, or else I’d have finished my second year of high school by now. The last time I went to your class, I fell asleep because I didn’t understand what the teacher said.” Ye Rongxu glanced at Qin Chaoyan and pretended to explain casually, “And it’s also my dad’s fault. He told me not to feel pressure and said it’s not too late to wait until I’m 20 to take the college entrance examination. My health is more important than studying.”
“Also I took up painting. This takes effort too, so I learned slowly. But I’m pretty good at painting and have won awards.”
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Chaoyan again, a little arrogant, and almost said directly: Look, I also have good sides.
Qin Chaoyan suppressed his laughter, raised his hand to rub his head, and said, “Well, that’s very impressive.”
Ye Rongxu was like a proud cat, almost shaking his tail.
But he obviously didn’t have a tail, so he got out of bed again, sat back in the wheelchair, stated in a serious manner that he wanted to draw a mountain view, and said to Qin Chaoyan, “If you have nothing to do, you can also do the questions with me here.”
It was obvious that he wanted Qin Chaoyan to watch.
Qin Chaoyan nodded with a smile and went next door to bring his test questions over.
The afternoon was slow-paced and relaxing, and before they knew it, it was over.
Originally, the family planned to rest on the mountain for a while after lunch and go home in the afternoon.
But just after lunch time, the originally bright sunshine disappeared, and the sky gradually darkened. In the afternoon, the sky began to drizzle with snowflakes.
And soon, the drizzle and snow turned into moderate snow.
Considering the slippery road down the mountain, in case of any accident, it would be a big disaster for Ye Rongxu. In this way, Ye Boxuan simply let him stay on the mountain for one night.
Grandpa Ye, Grandma Ye, and the bodyguards would also stay.
As for him and Lin Jiaojiao, who had to go to school early tomorrow morning, they would go down the mountain tonight.
Qin Chaoyan was supposed to go down the mountain tonight as well, but he had taken leave from both the company and the school, so it was only natural that he stayed behind as well.
The mountain is not like home. The air conditioning in the meditation room is not as good as the constant temperature and humidity system at home. If the temperature is set too high, the air is so dry that it will cause nosebleeds, and if it is set too low, it will feel cold.
At night, Ye Rongxu asked Qin Chaoyan to sleep with him, saying that sleeping alone would be cold.
Although he was confident when he made the call, when he really had to lie on the same bed, he wimped out again and thought apprehensively: Is this development too fast?
He hasn’t told Qin Chaoyan that he likes him too.
But if he does, will Qin Chayan think that he had an ulterior motive by inviting him to sleep together?
For the time being, he can only accept kissing, and he is absolutely, absolutely, just afraid of the cold; that’s why he asked him to sleep together.
There is no other meaning!
Ye Rongxu lay down nervously, stole a glance at Qin Chaoyan beside him, and quietly covered his chin with the quilt.
Although they had slept together once in the hospital, the situation was obviously different this time. If Qin Chaoyan really wanted to do something later, he, he couldn’t call the bodyguards to stop him.
Or he should explain it to the other party first…
Just as he was thinking about it, a figure loomed over, causing Ye Rongxu to freeze.
Qin Chaoyan looked down at him and said in a clear voice, “Are you okay?”
“I-I’m okay.” Ye Rongxu pinched the edge of the quilt with both hands; his voice was nervous, and his eyes were wide open.
Qin Chaoyan seemed to be stunned when seeing his state. He touched his forehead, then went to turn off the light.
After both of them lay down, the room was quiet, with only the sound of snowfall outside the window.
Qin Chaoyan did nothing. After turning off the lights and lying down, he closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became even.
It seemed that he fell asleep.
Ye Rongxu breathed a sigh of relief; his tense body gradually relaxed, and then he began to feel uncomfortable again.
What? Not even a kiss? Is he unattractive? Tsk!
He was nervous for nothing.
Young Master Ye huddled into the quilt in depression, and in a daze, he leaned against the heat source beside him.
Qin Chaoyan opened his eyes at this time, and his deep pupils seemed to light up in the dark. He sighed softly, stretched out his hand very gently, and pulled the young master into his embrace.
When he hugged him gently, he realized that the young master’s body was even softer than he had imagined, with a waist so thin that he could pinch it with two hands. There were two small dimples behind his waist, perhaps just enough for two thumbs to press into when pinched from behind.
Qin Chaoyan took a deep breath, forced himself to close his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Late at night, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the rustling sound continued.
The meditation room was particularly warm, and the two people hugging each other on the bed slept quietly.
The next day, Ye Rongxu woke up after a good night’s sleep and found that he was the only one on the bed. Qin Chaoyan had gotten at some point, and there was no sign of his presence in the room.
However, the quilt was still warm. Young Master Ye knew that with his physique, he would definitely not be able to keep up this temperature, so Qin Chaoyan should have just woken up.
Snowy days are perfect for sleeping in. He quietly stretched his waist, intending to change his sleeping position and snuggle up for a while, but when he looked up, he saw that the window was particularly bright.
Is it already noon?
Ye Rongxu was stunned for a moment and reached out to find his mobile phone, but he couldn’t find it, so he simply got up.
After tidying up his clothes, he moved to the wheelchair and came to the window. He stretched out his hand and pushed it open. Instantly, a burst of cold and fresh air hit him.
Ye Rongxu took a deep breath, which made his lungs uncomfortable. He coughed a few times, but when he saw the scenery outside the window, he was stunned for a moment.
Dongshan (East Mountain) after the snow was covered with a layer of silver makeup as far as the eyes could see.
It was probably because of this snow whiteness that made the light of day extra bright.
Jiangcheng is cold and humid in winter, so the snow doesn’t cover as thickly as in the north. Therefore, even though it snows in the middle of the night, the green of trees and the red walls and blue tiles of buildings can still be seen under the silver makeup.
A few red plum trees in the courtyard have just bloomed, with a thin layer of snow on the branches, revealing black branches and dots of red in the silver-white, like a corner of an ancient painting.
As far as the eye can see, the green hills stretch out in the distance, with a layer of white on top of the green, with a far-reaching artistic conception.
As the sun gradually rose, a misty red hue blended in the horizon, gradually brightening up. Suddenly, a round of red sun leaped out from the green mountains and snowed with a majestic cloud.
Everything in front of him suddenly became magnificent, dazzling in white, bright in red, and stretching in blue, full of vitality and vigor.
Qin Chaoyan walked into the meditation room with breakfast. Ye Rongxu was sitting by the bed at some point, holding a brush in his hand, painting in front of the drawing board.
On the paper, bright and brilliant colors depicted the red sun in the green mountains after the snow. The brushstrokes are smooth, and the momentum is surging, as if flowing with the tenacity of life, broadening one’s sight.
Qin Chaoyan put down the breakfast and left quietly. After a while, he came in again and placed a heater next to him to warm his hands.
When Ye Rongxu was concentrating, he seemed to be unaware of anything, but when he felt his hands were cold, he would subconsciously put them next to the heater to warm them without sparing a second thought about how this thing suddenly appeared here.
Qin Chaoyan changed the breakfast to warm porridge, inserted a straw, and brought it to his mouth.
Ye Rongxu opened his mouth and bit the straw, drinking porridge while painting, regardless of where the porridge came from.
After eating and painting, he seemed to have used up all his strength for the day, stretched his waist, and leaned back in the wheelchair.
“Finished?” Qin Chaoyan’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Ye Rongxu was stunned, turned his head, and asked, “When did you come back?”
Qin Chaoyan was helpless. He had eaten and drunk and used the heater he brought to warm his hands. Isn’t it too late to notice his existence?
Ye Rongxu also realized this and said awkwardly, “I didn’t notice it just now.”
Qin Chaoyan shook his head, walked to his side, and looked at the painting carefully again.
A moment later, he said, “You seem happy.”
Like plucking away the clouds, his mind suddenly opened up.
Ye Rongxu turned his head and asked curiously, “You can tell?”
“Yeah.” Qin Chaoyan nodded and pointed to the painting.
In fact, he had this feeling yesterday, but it was more obvious when he saw this painting today.
Ye Rongxu looked at the painting and then turned his head to look at the brilliant sunrise outside, comfortably nestled in his wheelchair, squinting his eyes, his voice lazy.
“When I was painting this picture just now, I was thinking that I would tell you something after I finish it.”
“I’ve made up my mind about what you told me yesterday.”
Qin Chaoyan was stunned, slowly turning his head to look at him. His hands unconsciously clenched with an expectation that he didn’t dare to have but couldn’t restrain.
“I thought about it carefully, and I think I like you too.” Ye Rongxu continued, but still had his eyes closed. “So I also want to break the contract, or we can make it real; what do you think?”
