Chapter 25 - Story 77-78

【77.]

The streetlight flashed and then gradually went dim.

Due to the dark night, Xu Chi couldn’t see the eyes of Tang Yanzhi clearly. He took a step back and said in a distressed tone.

“I know you’re straight. And I promised not to have special feelings for you. While, I can’t control myself…” Xu Chi sighed with a smile, “You are different from others, so I do not want to lie to you. I should not be selfish, telling you this and bothering you even if I know we would only be friends…”

The leaves fell down. Tang Yanzhi took a step forward, interrupting Xu Chi with a mild tone.

“Can you help me to hold the milk tea?”

Xu Chi was a bit stunned by the reaction of Tang Yanzhi. In his mind, he had imagined the possible scenes: After listening to his words, perhaps Tang Yanzhi would leave directly, or politely refused him and they couldn’t be friends anymore. However, Xu Chi didn’t expect the reaction of Tang Yanzhi was like this…

He wasn’t angry or upset. Even the first sentence he said was as casual as usual.

Xu Chi took the cup of milk tea. Being held by TangYanzhi, the cup remained warm. He wondered, “You…”

His words were stuck in his throat, then he surprisingly fell into a warm embrace.

“I wanna hug you.” Tang Yanzhi put his chin on Xu Chi’s shoulder, taking a deep breath of cold air. His voice, which was always smooth, at this moment finally became trembling, “You… What am I supposed to do with you?”

Although Xu Chi felt what Tang Yanzhi was doing now, he seemed to have not yet come around from his own emotion.

“Tang Yanzhi, you…”

Tang Yanzhi seemed to smell the scent of milk tea around Xu Chi, which was a bit bitter and tasted sweet only after being swallowed. He said, “I don’t know whether you are smart or foolish. Sometimes you were so sensitive that you made me surprised; sometimes you were so dull that I didn’t know what I should do…” He put his head close to Xu Chi’s neck, saying in a deep voice. “I’d like to listen to you and know your worries, whether it’s in the past or in the future. So take your time and tell me step by step. No rush tonight, Ok?”

Xu Chi’s neck could feel Tang Yanzhi’s warm breath. Xu Chi listened to him, looking up at the streetlamp which was emitting the last light. It seemed he finally understood the meaning of what Tang Yanzhi said.

Tang Yanzhi hugged Xu Chi more tightly. He slowly said with a slight husky tone, “No one would be nice to a person for no reason. There is always a reason: you want to make use of this person, or you like this person… Anyway, you can always find a reason to convince yourself to be devoted to it.”

Xu Chi indulged in Tang Yanzhi’s warm arms, slightly closed his eyes and asked Tang Yanzhi, “Then have you found a reason to convince yourself?”

“Because you’re worth it.” Tang Yanzhi paused, stood straight, looked into Xu Chi’s eyes and said, “Because…”

“I am into you.”

“I am into you.”

The two men said in unison.

“Xu Chi.” Tang Yanzhi said word by word, “I like you. Since the first time we met, I have had a thing for you. I want to get close to you, want to own you, want you to talk with me, want to share your joy and troubles, and want to be with you every day.”

The streetlamp lit up again. Xu Chi finally saw the eyes of Tang Yanzhi, which were not much different from before. But it seemed there was something more in his eyes.

There were gentleness, tolerance and affections in his eyes.

Maybe Tang Yanzhi had been hiding his feelings for him. Therefore, Xu late wasn’t aware of it. Or perhaps his eyes were always like this, but Xu Chi didn’t notice it until now.

Xu Chi raised his hands and slowly touched Tang Yanzhi’s charming eyes. Then he said with a smile, “That’s a line from Missing You. You have a good memory!”

Tang Yanzhi let Xu Chi touch his face as he liked. He held Xu Chi in his arms and smirked, “Piece of cake! I am the die-hard fan of Missing You.”

After this, Tang Yanzhi suddenly changed his tone and sounded aggrieved, “But why aren’t you surprised at all?”

Xu Chi withdrew his hand and asked, “About what?”

“Surprised about the fact that I like you too.”

“Maybe…” The wind was blowing even harder, but Xu Chi did not feel the freezing cold at all. He continued with a smile. “Maybe I have never expected it. So when the great surprise came, I didn’t know how to face it.”

“Then I’d like to interview Short-Tailed Cat.” Tang Yanzhi said with a serious face. “Now you are in a relationship with the most popular writer of X website. Tell me how you feel.”

“Tang Yanzhi, tell me.” Xu Chi’s entire face beamed with happiness, “Is that God heard my wish, so he sent you to me?”

“What did you ask God for?”

“I prayed to God…” Xu Chi sighed, “I wish the person in front of me could be into me.”

“Baby…” Tang Yanzhi looked down slowly, and then Xu Chi closed his eyes. A warm kiss was fallen on his eyes. “It’s true. The matter that I like you and we are in a relationship now is true.”

Continuously, the kiss was fallen on Xu Chi’s lips. The streetlamp flickered for a while and finally went out. At last, they were shrouded by the dark night.

Tingting: Will my friend hit me if I go out for an afternoon tea now?

Tingting: Our appointment is at 03:30p.m., but it’s 11:30p.m. now.

Tingting: Hello? Is anyone here?

Tingting: @ Shortie

Tingting: [picture]

Tingting: Excuse me? Can you explain what this post on Weibo means, please?

“Poor Guy: I finally heard pillow talk.”

Tingting: [picture]

Tingting: And this one.

“Guinea Pig: I won’t be missing you!”

Tingting: Those fans of Guinea Pig have gone crazy. They said this post meant that Guinea Pig had been in a relationship with his idol. Well, you are his idol, aren’t you?

Tingting: Besides, it must be abnormal that you guys posted at the same time. @ Shortie You neither update stories nor reply my message, but post on Weibo. Don’t tell me what I said is true!

Tangtang: Hello, I am coming.

Tingting: My friend, here you come. Help me to analyze these two posts. Do you think what those fans said is true?

Tangtang: Guinea Pig writes stories well and is a handsome guy. I think it’s fine if Shortie is in a relationship with him.

Tingting: ?

Tingting: My friend, you’re so superficial!

Tingting: You can’t judge a book from its cover.

Tangtang: ?

Tangtang: So you ignore his talent on writing?

Tingting: Sorry for bothering you, but as for me, only Shortie deserves to be called a “talent”.

Tingting: I don’t know why I always feel hostile towards Guinea Pig, although I know less about him.

Tingting: My friend, help me please. Is this because of women’s intuition?

Tangtang: …

Xu Chi: …

Tingting: My dear writer, here you come! Good evening! Kiss you!

Xu Chi: Huh. About this matter, what you think in mind is what is going on.

Tingting: I think it was Guinea Pig who made use of you to make up this gossip. But I don’t understand why he did this. Even if you are his idol, but he didn’t follow you or mention you on Weibo… This is what I can’t figure out.

Xu Chi: …

Tangtang: …

Tangtang: Why can’t you just accept the fact that they’re in a relationship like other fans?

Tingting: Why do you always have to be against me?

Tangtang: Because I am also the fan of this couple.

Tingting: Promise me.

Tingting: Shut up.

Tingting: Ok?

Tingting: [Kill me. jpg]

Tangtang: [Sorry. jpg]

Tingting: [Smile. jpg]
