Brother, Don’t Delete Me! 69

Chapter 69: Will You?

This meal was inexplicably nerve-wracking for Luo Jing.

Although Huai Dan didn’t act any differently, even occasionally picking up food for him, just like usual.

Luo Feng didn’t notice anything amiss and chatted with Huai Dan about work while eating, the atmosphere seemingly quite pleasant.

Having just “sold” her brother for money, that 50% translated into a considerable sum in Luo Feng’s mind, so she instantly became more relaxed. By the time they finished eating, their lunch break had extended for over an hour.

Standing at the restaurant entrance, Luo Jing looked at the cars parked on both sides, hesitating.

Should he… should he leave with Huai Dan now, or wait until after work?

“What are you standing there for? Go find your boyfriend,” Luo Feng said, seeing his hesitation, her tone strangely sarcastic.

Luo Jing: “…”

Huai Dan stood beside him, looked down at Luo Jing, then said calmly, “Don’t want to go with me?”

Luo Jing: “?”

Before he could react, Huai Dan nodded: “Alright then.”

He then turned and walked towards his car without looking back.

Luo Jing panicked and quickly chased after him, grabbing his wrist: “Brother! Wait for me…”

Then he instinctively glanced back at Luo Feng and saw her smug expression.

Luo Jing: “…”

Huai Dan continued walking, glancing down at the hand gripping his wrist, then looked away.

When they reached the car, Luo Jing let go of Huai Dan, then obediently got into the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and sat properly.

Huai Dan started the car.

The car was eerily quiet.

The car drove smoothly on the road. Huai Dan looked straight ahead, and Luo Jing, one hand resting on his seatbelt, carefully glanced at him again and again.

After struggling for at least three minutes, Luo Jing finally spoke.

“Brother,” he said.

Huai Dan didn’t reply.

So the courage Luo Jing had finally mustered instantly dissipated.

After a pause, he continued, forcing himself, “I really don’t know that person. My sister found him from somewhere, wanting to…”

“Wanting to what?” Huai Dan finally spoke, his tone casual.

Luo Jing: “…”

“Nothing,” Luo Jing closed his eyes tightly.

He had said the wrong thing again.

It was during work hours, so there weren’t many cars on the road, and it was almost all green lights, so they arrived at the company more than ten minutes earlier than expected.

So Luo Jing temporarily lost the opportunity to explain.

When he followed Huai Dan back to his office, he found that his workstation was still there, untouched.

The things on his desk seemed to have been tidied up, and nothing was missing.

Huai Dan didn’t seem to intend to sit down. Just as he reached his desk and picked up a folder, there was a knock on the office door.

The next moment, Assistant Yan walked in: “Mr. Huai, you’re finally back…”

Seeing the other person in the office, he instantly fell silent, his eyes widening in surprise and confusion, practically asking, “Why are you back?”

Luo Jing silently greeted him.

“There’s a meeting this afternoon. Stay here,” Huai Dan said to him, giving him a simple instruction, then left the office with Assistant Yan.

Luo Jing was stunned for a moment, then, after thinking for a bit, remembered that there was an important meeting on Huai Dan’s schedule for this afternoon.

And looking at the time, they seemed to be a bit late.

…Because of him.

Realizing this, Luo Jing felt even more guilty.

Having returned so suddenly, Luo Jing didn’t have any work for now, so he sat there, a bit at a loss.

After a moment, he opened his phone and started searching: How to coax your boyfriend when he’s angry?

The more he read, the redder his ears became.

What… what were these?!

After reading for a while, he closed his eyes and turned off his phone.

After calming down for a moment, he mustered his courage and opened it again…

The meeting was long and didn’t end until it was almost time to leave work. So Luo Jing thoughtfully sat on the sofa outside the meeting room, waiting for his boyfriend to come out.

A few minutes later, the glass door opened, and a group of suited and tied company executives emerged, looking very imposing.

Huai Dan stood out among them.

He was surrounded by people, looking down at a report in his hand.

An older man was standing beside him, pointing at the report and saying something. Huai Dan listened with an indifferent expression, occasionally nodding slightly.

Although he was one of the youngest among them, no one could mistake him for anything other than the person in charge.

His features were already striking, and in this situation, it was even harder to look away.

Luo Jing was momentarily stunned, then watched as Huai Dan walked towards him.

“Let’s go,” Huai Dan handed the documents to Assistant Yan, lowered his eyes, and ruffled his hair, as if to bring him back to reality.

Everyone who saw this froze, then tactfully left, whispering among themselves about who this boy was.

“Oh…” Luo Jing replied, standing up, his head lowered, ignoring his inexplicably racing heart. “Let’s go.”

The car ride was quiet.

Some things, some explanations, seemed to have an expiration date. After a certain time, it seemed inappropriate to bring them up.

And… Huai Dan wasn’t speaking, and he didn’t know how to start.

Although he seemed to still be angry, maybe it was just his imagination, or maybe he meant to just let it go?

So Luo Jing struggled even more.

It wasn’t until they arrived home that he realized things weren’t as he had imagined.

Huai Dan went straight to his room.

Luo Jing hesitated in the living room for a moment, then went to knock on his door.

Although the guest room was also nice, he still preferred the master bedroom.

Receiving no response, Luo Jing tried the doorknob and found that the door wasn’t locked. He easily pushed it open.

To his surprise, the room was dark, the lights off, and the curtains drawn.

Luo Jing froze. Before he could react, someone grabbed his wrist and pushed him against the door.

The next moment, the door closed, and a fervent kiss landed on his lips.

It wasn’t gentle, as if he had been holding back for a long time.

Luo Jing only froze for a moment before responding clumsily.

Then he raised his other hand and wrapped it around Huai Dan’s neck, as if to comfort him.

Huai Dan’s movements paused slightly, then deepened the kiss.

After who knows how long, Huai Dan pulled away slightly, breathing softly, and looked down at the boy in front of him, his eyes teary, his face flushed, his lips red and swollen from the kiss. He paused, then looked at himself.

“I’m going to take a shower,” he said, his voice hoarse, his expression indifferent, but his ears red, then let go of Luo Jing.

Luo Jing didn’t even have time to call him back.

He wanted to say, you don’t have to hold back…

Both of their reactions were a bit intense. Luo Jing’s legs felt weak, so he leaned against the door for a moment, only recovering when he heard the sound of water from the bathroom.

He stood up, thought for a moment, then opened the door.

When Huai Dan came out of the shower, he didn’t see Luo Jing in the room.

He paused, then lowered his eyes and sat down on the bed.

That kiss had already dissipated most of his anger.

Although there was still a bit left, it wasn’t much.

Just as he was wondering if he had gone too far and driven him away, and how to coax him back, the door suddenly opened.

Luo Jing, wearing pajamas and smelling of shower gel, walked in, as if he had just showered.

He closed the door behind him, then walked over to Huai Dan and stood there.

His ears were still strangely red.

Huai Dan raised an eyebrow slightly.

But he just stood there, not making any further moves.

Huai Dan looked at him for a moment, then chuckled: “What’s wrong?”

Luo Jing paused, lowered his eyes, and said nervously, “I’m also done showering.”

Huai Dan froze, realizing he had misunderstood, and said helplessly, “That’s not what I meant…”

But Luo Jing said, “But that’s what I meant.”

Huai Dan: “…”

Huai Dan was, for once, at a loss for words.

But after saying that, Luo Jing seemed to have finally broken free from his restraints. Although his expression was still a bit awkward, he bravely climbed onto the bed and sat in front of Huai Dan.

Only the bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, casting a dim, warm light on Huai Dan’s face, inexplicably giving Luo Jing some courage.

After thinking for a moment, he leaned in and kissed Huai Dan.

The man froze for a moment, then pulled him closer.

Luo Jing’s kiss was a bit clumsy, but Huai Dan enjoyed it, leaning against the headboard and letting him kiss him.

When the kiss ended, Luo Jing pulled away slightly.

Although he was the one who initiated it, he was also the one whose breathing was now ragged.

He caught his breath, looking at the man in front of him.

Huai Dan’s lips were also red now, his eyes half-closed, looking incredibly handsome in the dim light.

Luo Jing paused and lowered his eyes.

“I wanted to appease you,” he said, “But I don’t know what to do next…”

“Do you know what to do, brother?”

“…”

Huai Dan silently wrapped his arms around his waist, showing him with his actions whether he knew or not.

The light was dim, and Luo Jing’s entire body was flushed, one arm covering his eyes, his breathing rapid.

Huai Dan removed his arm and kissed him.

After a while, Huai Dan opened the bedside table.

Luo Jing turned his head slightly and instinctively looked over. Seeing what he took out, he instantly became flustered.

“When did you…”

Huai Dan thought for a moment: “The first day you came back?”

Luo Jing: “…”

Luo Jing wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.

…

After the first time, Luo Jing was so tired he didn’t even want to move his fingers. They were both slightly sweaty, and he vaguely thought, I showered for nothing.

After catching his breath, Luo Jing asked, “Am I done appeasing you?”

His eyes were slightly red, and there were marks all over him, but he asked this…

Huai Dan paused, leaned in and kissed him, and whispered, “Where did you learn to appease people like this?”

Luo Jing’s ears turned red: “I saw it online.”

“Was it effective?” he asked again.

“Not bad.” Huai Dan paused, then lowered his eyes and said, “But I still feel a bit insecure.”

Luo Jing: “?”

“Why do so many people like you?” Huai Dan had that expression Luo Jing found hard to resist, and he had a bad premonition.

“…But I only like you, and it’s not that many people,” Luo Jing replied, suppressing his unease and suspicion. After a pause, he added, “Then what should I do? I’ve already, I’m already like this.”

Huai Dan pretended to think seriously for two seconds, then calmly offered a solution: “Let’s do it again.”

Luo Jing: “……”

…

When it was over, Luo Jing wanted to curse, but he didn’t have the energy and was carried to the bathroom by Huai Dan.

His entire body was incredibly tired, and Luo Jing almost fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Before falling asleep, he heard Huai Dan ask, “Is your father coming back tomorrow?”

His sleepy brain slowly processed the question, then he mumbled, “Mm.”

“Then tomorrow…” Huai Dan said something, but Luo Jing didn’t hear it, finally succumbing to his drowsiness and falling into a deep sleep.
