Chapter 12 - "No fairness in this kind of thing."

After a moment of silence-

Shen Yi looked at him with clear eyes, and his tone seemed uneasy: “No, brother, you wouldn’t want to deny it, right?”

Fu Yuhe looked at him, turned his head away, and said softly: “What request do you have? Tell me.”

“I haven’t thought about it yet, brother.” Shen Yi took a step forward and approached Fu Yuhe. Fu Yuhe felt it wasn’t a good idea for them to stand so close to each other, so he took a few steps back and retreated into the corner.

Shen Yi approached him relentlessly, Fu Yuhe lowered his voice, and put his hand between the two of them, “Stop it.”

Shen Yi grabbed his hand, inserted his fingertips in between his fingers little by little, clasped them tightly, and said, “I’m not doing anything.”

His other hand rested against the wall beside Fu Yuhe’s face carelessly, and his expression was just as frivolous as his actions. He couldn’t tell what he meant by ‘not doing anything’, was this it?

Shen Yi’s shadow shrouded Fu Yuhe, and the hand he was clasping Fu Yuhe’s hand was playing with his fingers, sometimes very suggestively, sometimes gently clamping the base of his fingers, and rubbing the back of his hand inch by inch. Like a child with a childlike curiosity towards a newly discovered interesting toy.

“I haven’t thought about it yet, brother.” Shen Yi took a step forward and approached Fu Yuhe. Fu Yuhe felt it wasn’t a good idea for them to stand so close to each other, so he took a few steps back and retreated into the corner.

Shen Yi approached him relentlessly, Fu Yuhe lowered his voice, and put his hand between the two of them, “Stop it.”

Shen Yi grabbed his hand, inserted his fingertips in between his fingers little by little, clasped them tightly, and said, “I’m not doing anything.”

His other hand rested against the wall beside Fu Yuhe’s face carelessly, and his expression was just as frivolous as his actions. He couldn’t tell what he meant by ‘not doing anything’, was this it?

Shen Yi’s shadow shrouded Fu Yuhe, and the hand he was clasping Fu Yuhe’s hand was playing with his fingers, sometimes very suggestively, sometimes gently clamping the base of his fingers, and rubbing the back of his hand inch by inch. Like a child with a childlike curiosity towards a newly discovered interesting toy.

The winter weather began to cool down, the temperature of his fingers was also a little cold, the temperature and the sensation of his skin were transmitted from Fu Yuhe’s fingers to his chest, and his heart was stirred by this seemingly non-existent stirring.

Shen Yi’s actions were like a signal that broke past his calm surface, taking them back to that night, clearly telling Fu Yuhe that it was impossible to return to the past—although it was not much better before.

“I don’t have the energy to play games with you.” Fu Yuhe’s eyes drooped, and his tone maintained a calm and nonchalant tone, “Since you haven’t thought about it yet, then forget it.”

“Forget it?” Shen Yi asked, “What does it mean, does it mean that you won’t be fulfilling your promise, or does it mean that you’ll wait until I think about it over?”

Fu Yuhe: “…” To think he’ll catch the key point so fast.

“Wait until you’ve thought it through.” Fu Yuhe tried to push him away but didn’t succeed, he raised his eyes and saw Shen Yi looking at him with seriousness in his eyes.

“What if you go back on your words?” Shen Yi said.

Fu Yuhe: “I won’t.”

Shen Yi: “Are you waiting for me to forget about this?”

Fu Yuhe: “…”

He was also very insightful and good at understanding people’s thoughts.

“I will never forget it.” Shen Yi said.

Fu Yuhe suddenly paused: “That is… your first time?

He wanted to say ‘first kiss‘, but felt it was a bit difficult to see these two words at this moment, so he changed his wording, but after saying it out loud, it felt even stranger.

“First time” is always memorable and special, and these three words contain too many meanings.

Shen Yi is eighteen years old, has never been in love or in a relationship, and has likely never kissed before, which is to be expected from a person his age.

The lingering ambiguous atmosphere seemed to have turned into extremely fine silk threads, entwined around their bodies. They were incomprehensible, unclear, and vague yet seemed exceptionally clear.

They couldn’t see or touch it, but they firmly convey to them the feeling that cannot be understood through words.

“It was.” Shen Yi did not have the slightest entanglement or hesitation, and calmly admitted, “Brother, yours too.”

Fu Yuhe reflexively retorted to him: “It’s not.”

Shen Yi’s answer gave him a strange sense of satisfaction, but he didn’t want Shen Yi to know that the two were equal, at least, he wanted to have the upper hand in this matter.

Shen Yi sighed softly: “Ah…”

Then, he poked out the tip of his tongue and licked his red lips, leaving a moist luster on his lips, and said, “With the way you looked that day, I thought you were too…”

“Your kissing skills aren’t good.” He commented, “Not even as good as mine.”

When their lips were touching each other’s that night, neither of them moved at first. Fu Yuhe remained still, as if he was shocked by something touching him and he didn’t make any moves, until Shen Yi took further action, and then pushed forward the subsequent development that took place.

If Shen Yi hadn’t responded to his kiss that night, making him feel slightly bewitched with him, things probably wouldn’t have been so intense after that.

Shen Yi’s moist lips and the smile on his lips were all his means of seducing him in Fu Yuhe’s eyes. The methods were clumsy and despicable… but they were useful.

“I was drunk that night.” Fu Yuhe emphasized again.

Shen Yi raised his eyes: “Then you are sober now.”

Fu Yuhe: “So what?”

“So…” Shen Yi suddenly approached, closing the distance between the two of them, and their burning breaths intertwined.

Fu Yuhe’s heart jumped, he lowered his eyes before raising them again, his eyelashes fluttered, and asked, “What do you want to do?”

“I want you to be sober and remember how I made you feel.” Shen Yi said.

“No need.” Fu Yuhe said.

Shen Yi’s voice was soft, a little breathy sounding very affectionate, and he asked, “Then what is needed?”

“Your question is meaningless-” Fu Yuhe warned, “Don’t get any closer.”

Shen Yi: “Why? Are you afraid?”

Fu Yuhe reminded him: “I am not someone that you can play with whenever you want.”

“If you call this playing…” Shen Yi paused, “Didn’t you play with me first?”

Fu Yuhe: “…”

Shen Yi’s gaze was on Fu Yuhe’s thin lips from beginning to end, the feeling that night was so wonderful, so wonderful that he would be nostalgic at some moments, wanting more and more of it…

“You kiss me once, I’ll kiss you back, it’s only fair.” Shen Yi said softly.

Their breathing was close to each other, as if they are being intimate, yet are separated by some distance. Close enough to feel each other’s breath but not close enough to touch. It truly was a test of one’s patience.

Fu Yuhe: “There is no fairness in this kind of thing.”

Shen Yi and Fu Yuhe’s lips were only two fingers apart, as long as anyone raised their chin again, their lips would touch each other, but Shen Yi suddenly stopped.

Fu Yuhe pursed his lips, “You…”

The expected kiss didn’t come.

Shen Yi’s head suddenly lowered, and he put one hand over Fu Yuhe’s chin, Fu Yuhe raised his head, the back of his head was pressed against the wall, exposing his neck to Shen Yi’s eyes.

The top button of his shirt was left unbuttoned, and the protruding arc of his Adam’s apple gave a sexy and abstinent feel, because of Shen Yi’s sudden action, his Adam’s apple rolled, mistakenly thinking that he was deliberately acting against him again.

Fu Yuhe gritted his teeth, and his tone was slightly agitated: “Shen Yi, you…”

In the next second, his voice was replaced by a muffled snort, a tingling pain came from his neck, and his back seemed to be touched by an open electrical circuit as an electric current made his body numb, and his pupils contracted for a moment.

Shen Yi let go of him and took a few steps back, with aggression lingering on his body, “Brother, you are right, there is no fairness to say about this kind of thing.”

He licked his lips, “Then I don’t have to abide by the rules after all?”

Fu Yuhe covered his neck, he don’t know if he was angry or ashamed, his face turned red a lot, it was probably a combination of both, he didn’t want to discuss the topic of “fairness” with him, and cursed lowly: “Are you a dog!”

It had been a long time since he had been in such an embarrassing situation, and he had felt a brief sense of regret when their lips didn’t touch before.

“It’s up to you.” Shen Yi said calmly.

A verbal attack of this nature has zero effect on Shen Yi.

Fu Yuhe threw the school uniform jacket in his hand onto Shen Yi and walked away taking big strides, his back looked like he was fleeing a scene.

Shen Yi caught his coat and reminded him in a loud voice, “Brother, promise me not to play any tricks!”

Fu Yuhe kept walking and did not respond.

Shen Yi licked the fangs on the upper left jaw, and smiled, signifying his good mood.

He pushed open the door and went back to the room, in the room Fu Cheng was still burying his head working hard, plunging himself into the sea of learning, completely blocking out the outside world, Shen Yi hung his coat on a shelf on the side and sat back where he was sitting before.

On the other end, Fu Yuhe did not go to the study, instead went to the changing room. He raised his chin, and looked at himself in the mirror, there was a light pink tooth mark on the side of his neck near his collarbone, one of the teeth had left a deeper mark. He pursed his lips, his mood was irritated as he raised his hand to button up the top button, effectively covering the tooth mark.

……That brat.

——

On Sunday night, Shen Yi just returned back from Fu Cheng’s house, Fu Yuhe had not returned home when he left Fu family’s house, Fu Yuhe went back a little late in the past two days, in Fu Cheng’s opinion, his brother’s late return was the norm, so he didn’t notice anything wrong.

‘Click’ —

The light in the living room turned on, Shen Yi threw the schoolbag on the sofa, the schoolbag containing the book made a dull sound, he changed into his slippers and walked to the bathroom.

This room was rented by “him”, and the rent wasn’t cheap. In his opinion, it was not worth the price, he was probably treated as a fat sheep and was told to pay such an unreasonable price.

The environment was not bad.

Shen Yi went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He took a cup of water and washed his face. The mobile phone placed in the locker next to the mirror of the washbasin rang, he dried his hands, took the mobile phone, it was an unknown number.

“Hello.” Shen Yi said.

“Excuse me, Is it Mr. Shen speaking?” The young male voice on the other end asked.

Shen Yi: “It is.”

“Well, do you remember the other day when you asked me to help you find a house that fits your needs? I have an apartment here that meets your requirements, so I was wondering when will you have the time to come and see the place?”

Shen Yi listened to him, and his thoughts began to drift away.

Today, the pastry in Fu Cheng’s house was very delicious, he heard that it was made by a specific cook in his family, and it was easy for sweets to put a person in a good mood.

In recent days, he often went to Fu Cheng’s house, but the chances of meeting Fu Yuhe weren’t much…

“Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen? Are you still there? “The man raised his voice.

Shen Yi came back to his senses, set the time with the person on the phone for next Friday, hung up the phone, yawned, and sent a message to Fu Yuhe, and after he finished washing, no new message came, and he fell asleep on the bed.

The bed in the bedroom is 1.8m wide, making it easy for Shen Yi to roll around. The mobile phone was left alone on the quilt by him, and it was soon buried under the quilt after he rolled around several times.

Half an hour later, the phone vibrated and lit up.

……

Fu Yuhe saw it when Shen Yi sent the message.

In fact, the company does not have too important things these days.

The lights were on in the office of the high-rise building, Fu Yuhe looked at the three words “go home early” on his mobile phone for a while, and he turned on the mobile phone after the screen went off, he kept doing it back and forth a total of four times but still didn’t reply to the message.

The door of the office was knocked, Fu Yuhe slapped the mobile phone upside down on the table, as if he had woken up from a dream. After realizing what he was doing, he rubbed his forehead.

“Come in.”

The assistant outside pushed open the office door, said it was getting late, and asked him when he would be leaving work.

The assistant had a smile on his face. He didn’t know what had possessed Mr. Fu these two days that he had started to work overtime like crazy again.

If he doesn’t leave work, they would have to work overtime too.

Fu Yuhe glanced at the time, only to realize that it was late, he picked up his mobile phone and got up, “Let’s go now.”

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief.

The driver was responsible for sending Fu Yuhe home, Fu Yuhe sat in the car, opened the mobile phone in the back seat, and returned Shen Yi’s message, with only three cold and indifferent words.

[Busy at work.]

He rested his elbows on the window frame, his palms covering the side of his neck, his fingertips gently rubbing the back of his neck.

A few minutes later, he lit up the screen.

There was no message.

After a few more minutes, he looked at his phone again, and there was still no message.

……Asleep?

He leaned back in the car seat, his eyes closed.

He knew what Shen Yi had in mind about him, he had misunderstood before, a person like Shen Yi, if he really had any thoughts about a person, he wouldn’t even bother to hide it at all. He only had a pure friendship with Fu Cheng.

Fu Yuhe put aside his prejudices and saw it even more clearly.

Shen Yi’s a really interesting person to him.

But he is Fu Cheng’s friend, he is young, and he couldn’t accept Shen Yi just because he is interesting to him. It was probably that he had misunderstood Shen Yi before that he is acting so rebellious against him.

He didn’t think that this was revenge, if it was revenge against him, Shen Yi didn’t have to involve himself in it, the losses would outweigh the gains, and he didn’t seem to be such a boring person.

Shen Yi was interested in him.

He agreed to Shen Yi’s condition, but if Shen Yi’s condition was to let him associate with him…

A dark light flashed in Fu Yuhe’s eyes.

That was absolutely impossible.

His fingertips unconsciously slid over his lower lip.

But if he refused, will it indirectly have an impact on Fu Cheng… Fu Yuhe’s mind was full of thoughts, he frowned a little irritably, his aura growing heavier and the driver in front dared look at him from the rearview mirror.

Boss didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
