Chapter 96.2

Face-slapping the childhood sweetheart (4.2)

Editor: Nadralexe

On the second day, the three men really met at a buffet restaurant. Ru Yu looked a little depressed, while Zhou Xu and Ye Shaoyun were both still in a good mood.

Zhou Xu liked one of the dishes of this buffet, the abalone porridge. It was very creamy, and it didn’t smell fishy at all.

Sometimes, Ye Shaoyun would specifically come to this store to buy two abalone porridges to bring back. Every time, Zhou Xu would squint his eyes and drink it all, a very pleasurable appearance.

It was the same this time. As soon as they sat down, Ye Shaoyun went to get abalone porridge for Zhou Xu, while Ru Yu smiled and said, “Zhou Xu, if you were tactful, you would leave.”

“Tact, what is that thing?”

“I like Ye Shaoyun, I’ll set aside all previous matters, that’s why, this can be considered my first date with him, do you want to be a light bulb?”

“Once again, I don’t know what being tactful is. As for you liking Ye Shaoyun, there are a lot of people who like him, do I have to avoid each of them? What a joke. In addition, you like him but he still does not like you, otherwise, why would he not want you in the first place.”

These words of Zhou Xu were equivalent to giving another stab in Ru Yu’s heart, making Ru Yu feel pain like a knife was being twisted in his heart. However, he still used a laugh to cover his heartache, he was used to it.

“Even so, you still need to give us some space. Let him properly reject me, you always cling to him, are you without feet and hands to always have him serve you?”

Zhou Xu spread his hands, “I have hands and feet, but I don’t feel like using them.”

Ye Shaoyun came back with two bowls of abalone porridge. Ru Yu thought he brought two bowls, one for Zhou Xu and one for himself, so he was about to reach out and take it. But in the end, Ye Shaoyun put the two bowls of abalone porridge in front of Zhou Xu and after putting them down, he even added, “There’s only two bowls left, you like it, drink it.”

Ru Yu awkwardly turned his hand to touch the flowers on the table before retracting his hand back. However the dissatisfaction in his heart went up another level.

Because he was not at home, Ye Shaoyun had turned back to his cold expressionless face again. He was like this even when he was talking to Ru Yu, the only exception was Zhou Xu. That tenderness, when it was falling in Ru Yu’s eyes, was like a needle stabbing at him, his whole body felt uncomfortable.

“Uncle Ye, I want to eat the salmon sashimi over there, can you bring some over?” Ru Yu asked.

“Ok.” Ye Shaoyun wouldn’t argue with Ru Yu. He got up to help Ru Yu get salmon.

After Ye Shaoyun left, Ru Yu then said, “Zhou Xu, I intend to confess, will you also listen?”

“No, but you can still confess, I will choose to selectively forget.” Zhou Xu took a sip of abalone porridge. En, it was good, the taste was still as good as before.

Zhou Xu was unmoved by force or persuasion. In the end, Ru Yu still surrendered, he was ready to talk about it the next time he had the opportunity to see Ye Shaoyun alone.

However, Ruyu did not expect that as soon as Ye Shaoyun came back, Zhou Xu would say, “Uncle, Ru Yu wants to confess to you, so I will not bother you two today, I will go home and prepare something random to eat.”

Ye Shaoyun was stunned, and Ru Yu was frozen in place.

Zhou Xu outfoxed Ru Yu in this light manner. After saying this, he just left, not even giving Ru Yu some time to adjust.

Ye Shaoyun held the salmon, Ru Yu could only get up to take the small plate in his hand. He then said, “Uncle Ye, you sit first, I will explain to you slowly and clearly. Xiao Xu may have misunderstood.”

Ye Shaoyun could only sit down and pour himself a cup of hot water. He said, “What did Xiao Xu misunderstand?”

Ru Yu thought for a moment, knowing that he shouldn’t give Ye Shaoyun a bad impression for the time being. Besides, he could really not say it now, after all they had only met each other a few times.

Ru Yu also knew his own stubbornness, so he spoke in a helpless tone, “Xiao Xu, he may really have misunderstood. In fact, I just want to get acquainted with you again. Uncle Ye, do you still remember, when we met for the first time, I was only five. I had been wandering for a long time then, I was hungry and cold. That morning, you brought me breakfast, that warmth, I still can’t forget it.”

Ye Shaoyun originally wanted to say something, however Ru Yu was so sentimental, he could not speak, he could only nod his head, “I remember.”

“Uncle Ye, you certainly do not remember as deeply as I do. I can even tell all the details of that time, because that was the first warmth I encountered in my life.”

Ye Shaoyun was silent, he really didn’t remember that time clearly, and he was also not as attentive as Ru Yu.

“Uncle Ye, I always thought that after you led me to your home, I would then have a home.” As Ru Yu talked, he had a bitter smile. Clearly, he and Zhou Xu were similar children, but his look was so heavy. Ye Shaoyun also couldn’t help his heart to soften, because the loneliness coming from Ru Yu’s lowered head was particularly heartbreaking.

Probably every person who has a little bit of sympathy would all unconsciously gentle down. Ye Shaoyun said, “Ru Yu, is your new home not happy?”

“Happy, but the happiness is not mine. It is my adoptive parents’ and their son’s, I am an added person, always have been and probably will always be.”

As he talked, one of Ru Yu’s tears fell down. This appearance of enduring silently also made Ye Shaoyun sigh, “Ru Yu, sorry, it was indeed my fault at that time. Perhaps I should not have taken you back in the first place.”

“No, Uncle Ye, you were not in the wrong. At least thanks to you, I have the life I have now, if not for you, I might still be homeless.”

“Ru Yu, sorry.”

Ru Yu wiped away his tears, his face full of bitterness, but he still smiled as always and said, “Uncle Ye, I’m still grateful to you. Can we still be friends? I still want to meet you occasionally, can I?”

“You can.” Ye Shaoyun answered.

With tears still staining his face, Ru Yu broke into a smile, “That’s good, uncle Ye, I’m very happy.”

In the end, that day’s meal indeed ended with Ye Shaoyun accompanying Ru Yu to eat. Ru Yu also made good use of Ye Shaoyun’s kindness, but he also knew that Ye Shaoyun didn’t have the least bit of feelings for him, but he believed he could get what he wanted.

When returning home in the evening, Ye Shaoyun brought some snacks for Zhou Xu on the way back. Moreover, if the opposite person wasn’t Ru Yu, he would definitely have chased after Zhou Xu on the go. However, Ru Yu was really good at using people’s sympathy, so now that Ye Shaoyun thought back, he shouldn’t have let Zhou Xu go then. He should have let Zhou Xu eat properly before talking.

What a pity, Ye Shaoyun thought, Zhou Xu really liked the abalone porridge from there the most.

Arriving home, Ye Shaoyun moved softly and quietly, in case Zhou Xu was already asleep, he didn’t want to wake him up.

As soon as he opened the door, before he could even turn on the light, he heard a slightly cold voice say, “Did your date go well?”

Ye Shaoyun heard that Zhou Xu was still awake, so he turned on the light and answered, “How come you’re still awake?”

“Because I want to sleep with you today.” Zhou Xu said it in a very casual way, it seemed just like when he was a child, without any special meaning.

Ye Shaoyun also wondered, it was Zhou Xu himself who left Ye Shaoyun’s room and didn’t want to sleep with him, and he had been sleeping by himself for almost three years, so how come he suddenly wanted to sleep together again?

“What’s wrong?” Ye Shaoyun asked, after asking he went on to say, “By the way, I have brought you a midnight snack, crystal dumplings, do you want to eat?”

Zhou Xu sat down, and held out a hand, meaning to let Ye Shaoyun to bring them over.

Ye Shaoyun obviously understood, so he obediently put the crystal dumplings in front of Zhou Xu, himself sitting next to Zhou Xu, then asked: “Xiao Xu, did you misunderstand Ru Yu? He didn’t want to confess, and we’re not dating either.”

Zhou Xu originally wanted to eat the crystal dumplings, but as a result, the dumplings just reached his lips, he put them down again.

“What? You’re still feeling regret?”

“Of course not, but I still hope you two can get along peacefully.”

“Okay, uncle, I’ll listen to you. In the future, I’ll treat him well.”

Ye Shaoyun smiled a little, rubbed Zhou Xu’s head and said, “You shouldn’t have left today, I drank all those abalone porridge.”

“You didn’t give some to Ru Yu?”

“No, I forgot, because it’s your leftovers.”

Zhou Xu laughed, Ye Shaoyun also laughed. The two ate a few crystal dumplings then went to bed together.

Although Ye Shaoyun’s bed was a double bed, it wasn’t really the kind of very large double bed, it was one meter four by one meter nine, it should be said that it was the narrowest double bed.

Before Zhou Xu was still small, so the two sleeping together didn’t feel crowded, but now the two adults sleeping together again made the bed feel a little narrow.

Lying side by side, Ye Shaoyun remembered Zhou Xu’s childhood. At that time, Zhou Xu was very beautiful, a pair of obsidian-like eyes, emanating innocence.

At that time, Ye Shaoyun also liked to hug the small Zhou Xu, he was very small. In his arms, he was always very obedient, especially endearing..

In the darkness, Zhou Xu said, “Uncle, I want to hold your hand, just like before.”

For some reason, Ye Shaoyun always felt that the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, but Zhou Xu spoke in a normal tone, so Zhou Xu didn’t think too much like he did.

“Okay.” Ye Shaoyun answered. He also didn’t want to make Zhou Xu feel embarrassed.

Zhou Xu fumbled and took Ye Shaoyun’s hand.

The temperature of Ye Shaoyun’s palm was still the same, very warm, the same as all the other worlds’ lovers.

Because of the nervousness, Ye Shaoyun palms were a little sweaty, but Zhou Xu did not have the intention to let go at all. Ye Shaoyun could only repeatedly admonish himself in his heart, to be calm, to be collected, but just when he admonished himself, Zhou Xu actually began to gently scratch his palms.

The tingling sensation immediately went from the palm of his hand into his brain, and then from his brain to the arch of his foot. In an instant, Ye Shaoyun’s certain place also immediately stood to attention and held his head high as if he heard some order.

“Xiao Xu, don’t mess with my palm.” Ye Shaoyun suppressed the unusual emotions within his heart.

Zhou Xu, on the other hand, lowered his voice and said, “Uncle, are we really not related by blood?”

“En.”

“Then uncle, when you are with me, will you have other feelings?” Zhou Xu’s voice was too compelling, as if it carried the power to hook people.

Ye Shaoyun felt as if his hardened place had grown one point bigger.

“What other kind of feelings, I’m your uncle.” Ye Shaoyun tried to remain calm, but his shivering voice betrayed him.

People said that in the dark, people are most likely to be impulsive, and also most likely to be overwhelmed by impulsiveness. Ye Shaoyun felt he was a little dizzy at the moment, because he actually wanted to pounce on his nephew.

Zhou Xu, on the other hand, continued to stimulate him, “Uncle, uncle ……”

The voice became more and more bewitching, misleading, with a little flirtatious breath in it. This voice made Ye Shaoyun really want to go crazy, he turned his head to look at Zhou Xu sleeping beside him, but he did not expect that the person did not close his eyes at all, but was looking at himself with opened eyes.
