Chapter 58

Chapter 58

After hugging, He Xin was a little embarrassed. He buried himself in Derek’s arms and refused to look up. “Why are you here?”

“I missed you, so I came.” Derek patted He Xin’s back to appease him. He cupped his face and planted a kiss on his forehead. Their heads were pressed against each other; their distance was very close. He Xin could see himself reflected in Derek’s eyes. “I wonder if I can still catch up with your festive celebration?”

“Ah, I’m so excited.” He Xin took Derek’s hand. “Get in the car. You’ll still be able to make it.”

Because He Xin’s reaction was too fierce, the two of them were practically surrounded by his entire family when they got off the car. He Xin stood in front of Derek. “Dad, mum, this is my friend. He came over to play since its the holidays.”

Derek raised an eyebrow but still following along with He Xin’s words. “Hello Auntie, Uncle. My name is Derek Liszt. I’m He Xin’s friend. I hope I’m not causing too much trouble by coming here so suddenly.”

Ning An and Ning Meng had also been here before. He Xin’s parents didn’t ask any more questions. “Welcome, but you’re a bit late, young lad. You just made it to the end of our celebrations.”

He Yan stood beside He Xin and elbowed him. She lowered her voice and asked, “Your friend? What kind of friend would cause you to have such a big reaction?”

He Xin was a little at a loss when he was asked such a question. He observed Derek’s expression as he explained, “It’s because I didn’t expect that he would come this late.”

“This is?” After Derek exchanged greetings with He Xin’s parents, he also noticed He Yan.

“My cousin.”

“Hi, I’m He Yan. He Xin’s cousin.” He Yan deviously whispered to Derek. “Are you really He Xiao Xin’s friend?”

Derek secretly recorded He Xin’s nickname in his heart and controlled his voice so that He Xin wouldn’t hear. “I’m his boyfriend. He’s just shy.” He then cleared his throat. “Derek Liszt. Hello Jiejie.”

He Yan instantly had a look of understanding and nodded, accepting this way of address.

“That’s fine.” Derek smiled and received the quilt that He Xin’s mother had taken out. “But I don’t know if He Xin will find it inconvenient.”

He Xin blushed next to him. He didn’t know what to say and simply nodded as a response.

“Are you going to bed so early?” After Derek finished showering, he came out and look with interest at the bulging quilt. Walking over and lifting it open, he saw He Xin’s bright red face. “Why is your face so red? Are you sick?”

“I’m fine.” He Xin removed Derek’s hand that was pressed against his forehead and buried his head again. His voice was muffled as he said, “I still need to get up early tomorrow to help out.”

Derek smiled and laid down on the other side of the bed. “I’m turning off the lights.”

Darkness magnifies people senses. He Xin felt that he could even hear Derek breathing next to him. His heart was beating very fast. He felt a little nervous and quietly shifted to the side of the bed.

“Be careful not to fall off.” Derek reached out and took He Xin into his arms along with his quilt. His chin happened to rest on top of He Xin’s head. The two of them had the same scent on their bodies, which made Derek very happy. “Why are you so nervous? Haven’t you shared a bed with a friend before?”

“It’s not that. Where would there be a friend who’s like……” He Xin’s voice became quieter, but he didn’t break out of Derek’s embrace.

“Hm? Like what?” Derek didn’t intent to let him off so easily. He reached his hand into He Xin’s quilt and put it on his waist. “What about me?”

Too close! He Xin was completely unable to move. “Like, like this……”

“A friend wouldn’t be like this. Then what about a boyfriend?” Derek asked and lightly pinched the soft flesh on He Xin’s waist. He Xin jolted in fright and grabbed Derek’s hand that was messing around, but Derek turned to detain his hand. “Can I?”

He Xin gave it a try, but Derek’s grip was very tight so he couldn’t break free. Derek’s other hand also started to misbehave. He Xin quietly said, “Um…… okay.”

“Hm? What did you say?” Derek mischievously whispered into his ear. “Your voice is too soft.”

“Boyfriend can. Boyfriend can do anything.” He Xin felt extremely embarrassed after he said this and curled up into the quilt like a shrimp.

Derek pulled him into his own blanket and hugged him tightly. “Do you know what you’re saying? Darling, you should stop provoking me.”

“I’m not.” He Xin quietly protested. Derek’s scent, body temperature and heart beat all made him feel like he had a thousand horses running wild in his heart. He also reached out and wrapped his arms around Derek.

“Then, can I tell your family tomorrow that I’m your boyfriend?”

“I will tell them. I was just afraid that you would be upset.”

“Why would I be upset?” Derek felt that the little boyfriend in his arms was very good, but it would be better if he could be a little more confident in himself. “You are my only treasure. You don’t know how much I want to take you home, hold your hand and tell my family: ‘Look, this is my boyfriend’.”

“Stop it.” He Xin was extremely embarrassed and bumped Derek with his head. “Don’t say anymore.”

So shy. Derek hugged him tighter and couldn’t help kissing him again. “A good night kiss. Sleep. I won’t bother you anymore. Goodnight, my darling.”

“Good night.”

*****

“Actually, I could kind of tell.” He Xin’s mother didn’t have much of a reaction after hearing He Xin say that Derek was his boyfriend. She got up and added another egg for Derek. “Did you sleep well last night? Our Xiao Xin has received your care.”

He Yan gave Derek a look that said: you are really quite something.

Only father He’s reaction was a little bigger. Looking at everyone else’s reactions, he picked up the slice of bread that had fallen into his cereal bowl. After eating half of it, he suddenly reacted. “I don’t agree…… wu wu wu.”

“It’s fine, he’s just like this. Don’t mind it.” He Xin’s mother stuffed the bread into his mouth again. “Derek, does your family know?”

“I’ve already told my family.” Otherwise, how could he have rushed over in the middle of the night?

“En.” He Xin’s mother was quite satisfied with this answer. She peeled a boiled egg and stuffed it into father He’s mouth to prevent him from talking just as he finished swallowing the bread. “Our family doesn’t have an opinion on Xiao Xin’s dating life. Although the partner is quite different from what we imagined, so long as our child likes you, then we won’t interfere, provided that you are good to Xiao Xin.”

He Xin’s mother smiled as she cut open the fried egg on her plate. Derek knew that this was a warning. “Please rest assured.”

Ning An and Fu Ke’s relationship will be resolved in the next chapter, which also happens to be the last chapter not including the 2 extras.

I feels like this novel ends quite abruptly, but that’s because the author had some health issues.

Anyway, look forward to the final chapter. Also, the 2 extra chapters are about Xu Yu Sheng.
