RES Chapter 114 (Part 1)

“You want to return the spring to me?”

“It belongs to you.”

Chi Qiu’s tears ran down his cheeks, soaking Lu Ming’s arms. He wept with a sob: “But…the spring I want has to have you in it.”

This was their common spring, not a spring that belonged to him alone.

Lu Ming did not know that in Chi Qiu’s perception, the spring without him was nothing at all. The spring of their teenage years was irreplaceable——it was their ignorant first love, their beautiful first encounter with each other.

It was a unique time that even they themselves could not replicate.

“Lu Ming, if you’re not in there, I don’t want…” Chi Qiu stubbornly tugged at Lu Ming’s suit, the not-so-soft fabric caused him pain, it hurt him everywhere. “You can’t do this, how can you do this?”

Lu Ming’s eyes were wet as he said hoarsely: “I’m inside.”

“You’re not here!” Chi Qiu shouted loudly, aggrieved to death: “You only put half of yourself in my spring, and half of you is not here at all…”

In the quiet of the night, Chi Qiu sobbed uncontrollably.

“You say happiness belongs to me, but I won’t be happy where you’re not.”

He wanted the complete Lu Ming, he wanted to share Lu Ming’s pain. Only in this way, the happiness after the suffering was unreservedly sweet.

Chi Qiu had never been a person to be fooled. After all kinds of experiences, he had also learned to grow and refuse. He refused Lu Ming’s concealment and refused to let Lu Ming bear it alone. In front of his lover, he could always keep his own willfulness and put forward conditions.

Today, Chi Qiu had only one condition.

He said: “Lu Ming, come to my spring, don’t be alone outside, please.”

The disgusting love words, at this moment, were oaths, promises, and sincere invitations from Chi Qiu.

So when Lu Ming crossed in with the other half of his heavy self, Chi Qiu would never let it go again.

 

On the night of embracing, no one was willing to sleep.

Even though Lu Ming was already very tired, he still kissed Chi Qiu gently and restrainedly. Gradually, they became passionately entwined. Lu Ming felt the same urgent response from Chi Qiu, and a kiss became heavenly and sweet.

Chi Qiu’s chest rose and fell as he cupped Lu Ming’s face, searching for his silhouette in the darkness.

In his ears, there was a sound of Lu Ming’s rapid breathing. Through the suit, Lu Ming’s heart was beating fast, as was Chi Qiu’s heart. They were like a couple kissing for the first time, shy and nervous, their eyebrows tinged with red.

Lu Ming could not see Chi Qiu’s expression clearly. After the long kiss was over, he kissed the corner of Chi Qiu’s eye: “Why are you waiting for me in the guest bedroom tonight?”

“You’re working until late. You definitely don’t want to wake me up.” Chi Qiu didn’t like it when Lu Ming stopped kissing him so he took the initiative to hug Lu Ming. He raised his head and pecked at Lu Ming: “I guessed, you will definitely come here to sleep.”

Lu Ming’s whole body was warm, he whispered: “What if I go back to the master bedroom?”

“You will come to me.” Chi Qiu kissed him firmly, “You will definitely come to me.”

Lu Ming was tickled by Chi Qiu’s kiss and unwittingly took off his suit jacket. He unbuttoned one of Chi Qiu’s pajamas, but his mouth was still saying, “What if I don’t look for you?”

“Really not looking?” Chi Qiu asked rhetorically with the tip of his nose rubbing the tip of Lu Ming’s nose. It was not like he was angry but rather coquettishly: “Then I’ll run back and find you myself.”

Lu Ming was melted by the pleasingly affectionate Chi Qiu, but he didn’t dare to do bad things again: “I was lying.”

How could he not be willing.

He was eager to tie Chi Qiu in his heart and take him away, but he couldn’t be so bad. At the same time, Lu Ming was also self-disciplined. He hoped that Chi Qiu would always wait for him and stick to him like before.

He needed Chi Qiu.

If he was terminally ill, then Chi Qiu was the medicine to cure him.

Chi Qiu touched his face, a little dissatisfied with Lu Ming who was absent-minded for a moment, and blushingly said: “Don’t be distracted, keep kissing me, okay?”

“Okay.”

Another kiss ended, and they went back to being sweet.

“Lu Ming.”

“I’m here.” Lu Ming replied.

“I want to tell you some good news.” Chi Qiu smoothed the mood, put his arm around Lu Ming and came forward, whispering in his ear.

Suddenly, Lu Ming almost sat up from the bed. It was only because Chi Qiu was in his arms that he didn’t make a big move. He touched Chi Qiu’s eyes in shock. After confirming again and again, he asked, “…Your eyes?”

Chi Qiu whispered: “Otherwise, how do you think I saw the letter?”

“I…” Lu Ming thought that those letters were read to Chi Qiu by Auntie Zhang or Ji Yanchen. He thought so and spoke honestly: “I thought it was someone else who read it to you.”

Chi Qiu exhaled, feeling that Lu Ming was helpless.

With so many letters, if someone read them one by one, their mouth would probably be dry, right? Moreover, Chi Qiu was reluctant to show those letters to others. Those were the letters Lu Ming wrote to him. He was glad he saw it and that God gave his right eye back to him.

His regained sight was to share Lu Ming’s suffering and to receive Lu Ming’s love.

Chi Qiu pinched Lu Ming’s face for the first time and gritted his teeth: “Stupid.”

“Yes, I am very stupid.” Lu Ming did not retort at all and instead, he happily admitted, “I’m too stupid, so you must always be by my side.”

This was great, everything was a love story.

Chi Qiu laughed with joy and wondered who was crying like a little kid just now.

 

It was already very late, but Chi Qiu and Lu Ming had no intention of sleeping.

They were like a couple who separated for a short time and met again, using countless kisses to ease their desire for each other.

Compared with Chi Qiu, Lu Ming seemed to be more active; his hand unconsciously undid the second button of Chi Qiu’s pajamas but was held down by Chi Qiu. Lu Ming thought he was going too far and was about to stop his hand when he heard Chi Qiu whisper: “It’s late, you’ve been busy all day, aren’t you tired?”

“No, I’m not tired.” This night was very meaningful to Lu Ming.

Chi Qiu’s eyelashes fluttered and his Adam’s apple moved up and down. He seemed to consider it for a moment, and then, tentatively asked: “Do you want to do it?” In the brief silence, Chi Qiu’s ears burned as he spoke more and more softly, “Do you want to?”

“…”

Chi Qiu gulped: “I asked casually, if you don’t want to, just pretend I didn’t ask…”

“I want to!” Lu Ming became hurried, he kissed Chi Qiu’s earlobe and said from the bottom of his heart, “I want it very much, want it like crazy, always want——”

With such naked words, Chi Qiu became embarrassed that he covered Lu Ming’s mouth.

Lu Ming: “…”

Chi Qiu’s face reddened: “There is no that in this room.” He nudged Lu Ming with little force and said in a muffled voice, “…You go get it.”

Lu Ming was stunned.

Chi Qiu grabbed his clothes, stammered, “You, you go quickly ah.”

Otherwise, he would go and get it himself.

As a result, in the next second, Lu Ming got up with a bang, and even the fatigue of working during the day disappeared. He was barefoot, taking the ‘thing’ Chi Qiu said from the master bedroom without stopping.

When he came in, Lu Ming subconsciously turned on the light.

Only then did he see that Chi Qiu was sitting on the bed with hair that he had kissed and messed up, hugging his knees. Chi Qiu was startled by the light and looked at Lu Ming with a shy smile. His right eye was clear, staring at the brand new box of condoms in Lu Ming’s hand, and he couldn’t help but lick his lips, asking curiously, “Why is it unopened?”

“…”

Chi Qiu lowered his eyes, a fire was about to burn through him: “You secretly bought a new one? Isn’t there a leftover one at home?”

It was bought when they first got married, Chi Qiu remembered, there were still three left… If they used one at a time, they could use it three times. He calculated quietly in his heart, and his heart was almost at the throat.

But Lu Ming didn’t know what Chi Qiu was thinking. He clenched the box in his hand and went out of his way being shameless: “I’m afraid it’s not enough, so I bought it.”

Chi Qiu: “?”

Chi Qiu frowned in surprise and looked up with a puzzled face. The look on his face was close to asking: How could there be not enough?

He also almost asked the question, but luckily Lu Ming did not give him the opportunity to question.

At two in the morning, Lu Ming quickly turned off the lights at the request of Chi Qiu.

 

The next morning, it was about ten in the morning when Chi Qiu woke up. His body was fresh and he was wearing new pajamas. The temperature of the pillow had long since cooled down, and when Chi Qiu moved his body a little, an unspeakable soreness came up.

“…”

He didn’t dare to think about it, his face suddenly heated up.

Just last night, Lu Ming used practical action to tell Chi Qiu that he did not have any problems. The brand new box of condoms was used and only a few left. Chi Qiu couldn’t help comparing Bai Yan with them in his heart and thought to himself: We won!

After a while, Chi Qiu thought: this does not seem to be a particularly happy thing

Because after happiness came unspeakable back pain… But Chi Qiu wouldn’t say anything about it even if he was killed. His ears were hot, and from the moment he woke up, the temperature never dropped.

Unfortunately, Lu Ming seemed to have gotten up and went to the company. He promised him that he would go to work on time from today onwards.

Chi Qiu couldn’t help but sigh as his shoulders sank. He regretted that he couldn’t wake up naturally in Lu Ming’s embrace. It was also their fault that they were so busy last night that they were so tired and Chi Qiu didn’t even notice Lu Ming getting up this morning.

After Chi Qiu washed up, he walked out of the guest bedroom with a sullen look.

He was a little hungry and walked towards the kitchen as soon as he went out.

Who knew that when he got to the kitchen, the person wearing the apron was not Auntie Zhang, but Lu Ming, who was absent from work again.

When Lu Ming saw Chi Qiu, his eyes brightened up: “Woke up.” He put down the soup spoon in his hand and went forward to help Chi Qiu smooth out his sleepy hair while saying: “I learned a few dishes with Auntie Zhang, you can try them later. Today, Auntie Zhang has something to do and just took time off to go home, so there are only two of us at home.”

Chi Qiu’s mood brightened: “You didn’t go to work?”

“I haven’t taken my marriage leave yet, it would be a waste if I didn’t.” Lu Ming looked into Chi Qiu’s eyes, lowered his head and kissed the corners of his eyes. He couldn’t help but boast, “So beautiful.”

Like a flower in full bloom.

Chi Qiu looked at Lu Ming’s smiling face and couldn’t help taking a breath. After so many years, it was the first time he saw Lu Ming’s real appearance. After removing all the camouflage and armor, Lu Ming’s body was overflowing with the smell of sunshine.

Chi Qiu sniffed and hugged him, rubbing his cheek against Lu Ming.

This caused Lu Ming to hug him back and kiss him on the top of his hair. Chi Qiu narrowed his eyes, if he were a cat, he would be making a ‘purr’ sound right now, to Lu Ming to show his appreciation.

Acting coquettish in the early morning was really not like how Chi Qiu was in the past. Even though Lu Ming was pleased with this, he was still concerned: “What’s wrong?”

“Just want to hug.” Chi Qiu refused to let go.

So Lu Ming naturally hugged Chi Qiu back to the wall and kissed Chi Qiu until his legs were soft.

When he had kissed enough, Lu Ming naturally took Chi Qiu’s hand and walked to the pot of soup, scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew it warm before handing it to his mouth: “Try it?”

Chi Qiu took a sip with great interest but it was unpleasant. He pushed the spoon to Lu Ming’s mouth and said, “It’s delicious. Try it, too.”

Lu Ming believed it and took a sip with confidence. Though after that, he almost spit it out and looked embarrassed.

Chi Qiu had never seen the grown-up Lu Ming with such a rich expression, he couldn’t help laughing for a while, and his waist was sore with the laughter.
