Chapter 102: My One and Only (Part 7)
The bathroom was filled with steam. This bath had made his heart beat very fast. After Yu Lin had finished his shower, he had tried to calm down and had put on his clothes. However, he had been caught as soon as he had walked out of the bathroom.
The two of them had clearly entered the shower room together, but Chen Shizhou was faster than him. He was holding a towel, and he had wrapped his wet hair in it, and he was wiping it gently.
After he had finished, he had casually swept his own head, as if he had completed a task.
The light above his head was very white. Chen Shizhou had been typing code in his office for many years, but the thin muscle lines on his arms were very beautiful, and the blue blood vessels were visible on his forearms. It seemed that he had been working out. Yu Lin had thought, very inappropriately.
“What are you thinking about?” His wet hair had been ruffled. Yu Lin had subconsciously said his thoughts, and then he had been taken to the side of the bed to have his hair blown.
Chen Shizhou was afraid of burning him, so the temperature was set very low, and the process of blowing his hair was so comfortable that he was drowsy.
Yu Lin was sitting cross-legged on the side of the bed, and Chen Shizhou was standing behind him, holding a hairdryer, and he was blowing it with a gentle warm wind. Before long, his eyelids were drooping.
I’m sleepy. I want to sleep.
But he vaguely felt that his heart was beating faster and faster after the two of them were in the same room. Although he had not done anything, his fingers were still lightly resting on Chen Shizhou’s forearm, and he was unconsciously nervous.
Chen Shizhou had patiently finished blowing his hair, and his gaze had fallen on his long and slender fingers, and he had reached out and had held them lightly.
After he had finished blowing his hair, he had put away the hairdryer, and when he had come back, in Yu Lin’s sleepy, wet, and dazed gaze, he had lowered his head slightly, and his fingers had lightly rested on Yu Lin’s neck, and he had placed a kiss on Yu Lin’s lips.
Yu Lin was sleepy, and he had not wanted to do anything, but to kiss his lover was a very involuntary thing.
Yu Lin had felt the wet touch of his lips, and his eyelashes had trembled slightly, and his arm had lifted slightly, and his fingertips had lightly rested on Chen Shizhou’s shoulder, and his lips had opened slightly, and the two of them’s lips had been like a soft cake that had been pressed together.
“Go to sleep.” Chen Shizhou had leaned over and had held him, as if he were holding him in his arms. His fingers had gently swept through his hair, and he had straightened his fluffy hair, and then he had held him and had fallen into bed.
He had turned off the light, and there was only a small night light left in the room. The dim light was flickering. Yu Lin was yawning, and he had nodded lightly, and he was holding Chen Shizhou’s waist, and his hair was gently sweeping against Chen Shizhou’s neck, and he was unconsciously nuzzling him.
The person he liked had a faint, pleasant scent on him, and it was as if he were sleepy just from smelling it.
Yu Lin had his eyelids closed, and his cheeks were buried in Chen Shizhou’s neck, and his breathing was light and slow, as if he had fallen asleep.
Chen Shizhou was holding him, and through a little bit of light, he was silent for a long time, and only then did his gaze fall on his seemingly serious lover, and he had confirmed that the touch of being lightly licked on the neck was not an illusion.
He had raised his eyebrows slightly, and his fingers had lifted slightly, and he had ruffled Yu Lin’s hair. “Are you still sleepy?”
Yu Lin had looked up, and his eyes had curved into an arc, and they were shimmering with water. He had said with a smile, “I’m not sleepy anymore.”
“En.” Chen Shizhou had nodded, and his fingers had moved slightly, and he had supported his neck, and he had lowered his head and had bitten him.
Chen Shizhou had a refreshing smell of shower gel on him, and in an instant, with a faint woody scent, it had fallen all over him, and it had completely covered Yu Lin.
He had propped himself up and had covered him. Yu Lin had been completely covered by him, and he had unbuttoned his buttons. At first, he could still raise his head slightly and respond to the kisses, but he had soon been kissed until he was exhausted, and he had lightly stuck out his tongue to breathe, and he had soon been caught and had been lightly sucked.
The fine sound of water was ambiguous and lingering, and it had made his heart beat faster. Yu Lin’s eyelids were wet, and a sore and numb feeling had run through his whole body like an electric current. He had unconsciously climbed onto Chen Shizhou’s neck, and he could only pant in a low voice.
He had looked up, and he was like a little animal that had been held by the scruff of its neck, and he was struggling for a moment of air, but he had soon been caught by Chen Shizhou, and his neck had been lifted by a warm palm, and a deeper and heavier kiss had fallen, and he had lost any room for resistance.
The clothes had fallen off and were casually overlapping. Chen Shizhou had gently sucked and had kissed, and the sore and numb feeling had spread to his whole body, and there was nowhere to escape. Yu Lin was completely numb. He had his legs bent, and his legs were weak, and his fingertips were resting limply on the side.
A fine and dense kiss had fallen on every part of him. The overly strange feelings in the real world had overlapped, and they were unavoidable, and they had almost forced Yu Lin to be speechless.
In a daze, Chen Shizhou had seemed to have straightened up slightly for a moment, and he had touched a prominent bone on Yu Lin’s waist. He had paused for a moment, and then he had leaned down.
…
A long, long time ago, Yu Lin had appeared like a gust of wind, and he had brought the bright light of summer, the clean white clouds, and the azure blue sky.
He had stood under the layered tree shade and had smiled at Chen Shizhou, and he had passed by in a hurry, and his eyes had curved slightly, and it had been a fleeting glimpse.
The light of the small night light was faint. Chen Shizhou was holding Yu Lin’s fingers, and he was gently kissing his lips.
Yu Lin had his eyes closed, and his vision was a daze. His wrist was resting on his eyelids, and his face was flushed.
They were embracing each other, in the most intimate posture.
Chen Shizhou had lowered his head, and he had gently kissed Yu Lin’s eyelids, and then the tip of his nose, and in the end, it was on his lips.
Precious, and the most liked in the world.
***
Yu Lin had slept very soundly this time, and it was already morning when he had woken up. The curtains in the room were drawn, and a faint light was coming in from outside.
He had opened his eyes, and he was sleepy, and he had looked at the arm by his cheek with confusion. He had been too sleepy last night, and he had fallen asleep as soon as he had closed his eyes. He had not realized that Chen Shizhou had been holding him, and he had been his pillow for the whole night.
Yu Lin had looked up, and Chen Shizhou’s eyelids were closed, and he seemed to be not yet awake. His eyelashes were very long, and they were drooping on his eyelids. When he was sleeping, his coldness had been weakened, and he had looked harmless.
Yu Lin had reached out, and he had stroked the seemingly cold and hard ends of Chen Shizhou’s hair. The man had raised his head slightly, and the tip of his nose had rested on Yu Lin’s wrist bone.
“You’re awake?” Yu Lin had blinked, and he had reacted, and he had asked him, “How long have you been awake?”
“I just woke up.” Chen Shizhou had said.
He had ruffled Yu Lin’s hair, and he had also touched Yu Lin’s forehead and the side of his neck. He had not found any problems, and he had gotten up and had walked to the bathroom, and he had turned his head and had asked, “Do you want to sleep a little more? What do you want to eat for breakfast?”
Yu Lin had glanced at the time. It was not yet nine o’clock. Chen Shizhou had always been regular with his breakfast.
His body had felt a little strange, and his waist and legs were also a little sore. Yu Lin had not wanted to move. He had closed his eyes, and he had opened them again, and he had ignored the memory of last night and his red earlobes, and he had said softly, “I’m fine with anything.”
Chen Shizhou had looked at his feigned calm face, and his red earlobes, and after a pause, he had let go of the doorknob in his palm, and he had walked back, and he had leaned down and had kissed him. “Okay.”
Yu Lin had fallen asleep again. Chen Shizhou had gone downstairs and had bought breakfast, and he had arranged the bowls and chopsticks, and only then had he gently woken him up.
Besides the world in the game, the two of them had not lived together in the real world, but many of their habits were the same, as if they were naturally compatible.
Chen Shizhou had liked to arrange the bowls and chopsticks very standardly, and he was meticulous, as if it were the factory setting. Yu Lin was a little more casual, but he would find it pleasing to the eye.
“Don’t you find it boring?” Chen Shizhou had asked Yu Lin.
But no matter how many times he had seen it, Yu Lin had still found these standardly arranged things very cute, so he had shaken his head with his eyes curved. “No. It’s very cute.”
Chen Shizhou had looked at him, and at the same time as he had let out a sigh of relief, the corners of his lips had curled up slightly.
***
The weather was gradually getting colder, and the frequency of Chen Shizhou’s overtime had not changed, but the number of times he had been lying in bed had increased a lot.
A legend had unconsciously spread in the company.
Even a workaholic bigshot could not escape from crawling out of bed in the cold winter.
The bed, you are the god.
When Chen Shizhou had gone to get coffee, he had several times heard his colleagues gathered around the coffee machine and gossiping, and they were full of curiosity about the reason for his lateness. When they had turned their heads and had seen him, they had all scattered.
Chen Shizhou’s expression was unchanged, and he was late as usual.
Yu Lin had recently finished a volume of his manga and had entered a rest period. Every day, besides sleeping and going out to gather inspiration, he would try to make some food for himself.
He had baked a pudding, and it was a little bland. He could not finish it at home, and he had asked Chen Shizhou if he wanted to eat it.
In fact, the first time this had happened, Yu Lin had fed the food to the stray dogs in the community. Fortunately, his food was simple to make, and the taste was also light, so the small animals could also eat it.
After feeding them for two days, Yu Lin had met Chen Shizhou, who had gotten off work early. He was holding a small plate, and he was squatting by the flowerbed downstairs, and he was watching the little dog happily lick the plate. He had looked up, and Chen Shizhou was looking down at them, his expression placid.
“Uh… I was just playing around. I made too much, and I couldn’t finish it. The taste is too bland…” Chen Shizhou had no expression, and his eyes were also placid. He was looking at the dog bowl, and the expression on his face could not be seen as happy or unhappy.
His features were clear in the night, and he had listened to Yu Lin, and he had nodded. “I know.”
He had reached out, and he had pulled Yu Lin up from the ground. That night, they had gone to eat at a very popular roasted eel restaurant, and it was fresh, sweet, and delicious, and it was much more delicious than the food that Yu Lin had casually made.
When they were going home, the two of them had been walking hand in hand downstairs. The little dog had finished eating, and it was playing by the bowl. He didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but when the two of them had passed by, Chen Shizhou had looked back at the dog bowl as if nothing had happened.
Later, he had prepared delicious dog food for the little dog. For a period of time, the little cats and dogs downstairs would come over as soon as they had seen him. Yu Lin had stood upstairs and had watched them, and he had taken pictures of them with his camera with his eyes curved.
The little cats and dogs had finished eating, and they no longer ate Yu Lin’s bad food. Yu Lin had gotten busy again, and he had forgotten about this, until a few days ago, Chen Shizhou’s mother had called and had asked what Yu Lin liked to eat, so that she could prepare the New Year’s menu.
Chen Shizhou was holding his phone, and he had turned his head and had glanced at Yu Lin, who was drawing on the sofa. He had listed a few dishes, and after a pause, he had added, “A little lighter in taste.”
Yu Lin, who was lowering his head and holding a pen, had heard this, and after a pause, he had looked up at him. In that instant, he had belatedly remembered this.
Yu Lin did not cook often, but in this instant, he had felt that perhaps his partner would not find the food he made unpalatable, and he did not have to worry about it. On the contrary, perhaps the other was very willing to try it with him.
So he had baked some pudding and had asked Chen Shizhou if he was willing to taste it with him.
Soon, a reply had come from the other end, 『Okay.』
It was also accompanied by an emoji, a bunch of exploding fireworks, which told of Chen Shizhou’s mood.
Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, and in the beeping of the oven, he had laughed.
The spring holiday had not yet arrived, but the temperature in this city was already very low. The leaves that were still green on the side of the road were frozen and had ice on them, and the pedestrians had all changed into down jackets or warm coats.
Yu Lin was in a well-cut camel-colored coat, and around his neck was a soft plaid scarf. He had parked his car and was walking into the elevator with a thermos.
The working atmosphere on Chen Shizhou’s floor was very strong. Yu Lin had not gone in, but had sent a message to Chen Shizhou.
He was going back after he had delivered the food. In the past, he would occasionally come to pick Chen Shizhou up from work, and he would not stay for too long.
He had said too much in his early years, and now he did not like to talk too much. Chen Shizhou also did not think that socializing was a very necessary thing.
Only the people at their workstations were craning their necks to look at the commotion here, and they were asking who this beautiful man who had suddenly appeared to look for the boss was.
There were not many insiders, but they were all very interested, and they were watching the messages on the group chat scroll by quickly.
Chen Shizhou had walked out, had taken the food box, and had reached out and had touched Yu Lin’s wrist bone. He had found that it was not cold, and only then had he pressed his lips together and had asked, “Why did you suddenly come over?”
He had just replied that he would eat when he got home.
Yu Lin had looked at him, and his eyelashes had lifted slightly, and he had suddenly curved his eyes and had smiled, and it was like the ice lake in winter had melted. He had said, “It’s better to eat it hot.”
Chen Shizhou looked at him, and his gaze was gentle, and a little arc had appeared on his cold and hard lips. “En.”
The group chat was silent for a moment, and the messages were jumping quickly.
『…』
『Case solved. It’s not at all surprising that the workaholic can’t go to work with his super-strong willpower.』
『It’s human nature, I say.』
