Chapter 20
The people coming and going were all looking at the two of them, but Lin Zhiyan didn’t care at all. He just looked at Lu Ze, his face red with excitement.
The professor watched from the side, shook his head helplessly, and gestured for the other students to leave first.
Lin Zhiyan’s cheeks were rosy, his eyes sparkling with light, and his voice had an unconscious coquettish softness. “Why are you here?”
Lu Ze touched his face. “I missed you, so I came.”
Lin Zhiyan was so excited he couldn’t speak, and he didn’t know what to do. In the end, Lu Ze took the lead, holding his hand and walking towards the elevator.
Lin Zhiyan didn’t say a word the whole time, just looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
Lu Ze felt helpless and tapped his forehead with his finger. “Room card.”
Only then did Lin Zhiyan let out a cry and took out his room card to hand to him.
Lu Ze couldn’t help but laugh. He opened the door and pushed the suitcase inside.
The room had heating. Lu Ze put the suitcase down, took off his hat and mask, and took off his down jacket, revealing only a form-fitting black sweater that outlined his lean figure.
Lin Zhiyan didn’t know what to do, so he just followed him around, his excitement still not gone. It wasn’t until Lu Ze suddenly turned around and looked at him face to face that Lin Zhiyan blinked, and before he could react, his waist was suddenly tightened, and he was lifted up and placed on the nearby table.
The table was a bit high, and Lin Zhiyan’s legs were dangling, a little unsteady. “What’s wrong?”
Lu Ze took off his scarf and down jacket, his voice slow and deliberate. “Does Senior remember what you said before?”
This atmosphere was a bit unusual. Lin Zhiyan’s throat was unconsciously dry. “What… what did I say?”
Lu Ze threw the clothes and scarf to the side and looked down at him with a heavy gaze. Lin Zhiyan’s heart was pounding. He quickly searched his memory of the past few days, and his face slowly turned red.
“It seems Senior remembers.” He propped his hands on either side of Lin Zhiyan’s body, his figure extremely oppressive. “Why don’t you tell me, Senior, what will happen… when we meet next time? And how should it happen?”
He moved a little closer, his lips sliding down from the side of his lips, along his cheek, to the root of his ear, rubbing bit by bit, making one’s heart itch unbearably.
Lin Zhiyan’s toes curled slightly. He grabbed his collar, and a hum unconsciously escaped from his throat. “Lu Ze…”
“Hmm?” Lu Ze looked down at him, his expression very innocent. “Has Senior thought of what to say?”
Lin Zhiyan had gradually come to understand Lu Ze’s wicked sense of humor. In this kind of matter, he always wanted to see him take the initiative.
And every time, Lin Zhiyan would be so shy that his face would turn red, but he would also very obediently follow Lu Ze’s words, which only made him even more “excessive.”
He reached out and wrapped his arms around Lu Ze’s neck, slowly bringing his lips closer, and kissed him bit by bit, just as he had taught him.
Lu Ze held his waist, lowered his head, and enjoyed his initiative.
Lin Zhiyan slowly pried open his lips, like a dragonfly touching the water, bit by bit, his movements delicate and tantalizing.
Lu Ze finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He held the back of his neck and slowly deepened the kiss.
They were a couple in the honeymoon phase, and they hadn’t seen each other for several days. Their passions were already surging, and a kiss was even more heart-stirring.
The atmosphere in the room grew hotter and hotter. The outside air invaded, and Lin Zhiyan’s body trembled.
Lu Ze let out a hoarse laugh.
But Lin Zhiyan couldn’t bear to hear it. He bit his lip tightly, buried his head in his neck, and said angrily, “Don’t talk…”
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. “Don’t talk?”
He said slowly, “Alright.”
***
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and very quickly.
Lin Zhiyan seemed to want to make up for his embarrassment last time and bit his lower lip without speaking.
Lu Ze sensed his thoughts, and his eyebrow raised slightly. He whispered in his ear with a smile in his voice, and slowly said a sentence.
Lin Zhiyan’s eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body stiffened for a moment.
He was panting heavily, and he only felt his scalp tingle. After a long while, he looked up at Lu Ze and said with a trembling voice, “What did you just say?”
Lu Ze tilted his head, very innocently. “What did I say?”
He thought for a moment. “I said I was in pain.”
Lin Zhiyan’s ears were red. “It wasn’t that sentence.”
“Then what was it?” Lu Ze tilted his head and thought hard. After a long time, he seemed to understand and said “oh,” then smiled. “Was what I said wrong?”
He moved a little closer, his eyes smiling. “Hmm?”
“Gege?”
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it had wrapped around the tip of his tongue before coming out. The two very proper words were spoken by him as if they were full of some meaning, making it unbearable to listen to.
Lin Zhiyan’s face seemed to be steaming. He gritted his teeth and said, “Who… who told you to call me that…”
“Is there a problem with me calling you that?” Lu Ze was puzzled. “Didn’t Senior also say that you’re older than me?”
“Gege?”
His face was full of confusion, but his eyes were full of smiles. “Or is it that Senior doesn’t like me calling you that?”
The more Lu Ze called him that, the redder Lin Zhiyan’s face became. He reached out and covered his mouth. “Don’t say it!”
He pressed his lips together tightly, afraid of revealing his emotions. “A-anyway, just don’t call me that!”
“Then what should I call you?” Lu Ze counted, “Senior is a bit too common. Everyone calls you that… Shall I call you Zhiyan, Yanyan? Baby? Or…” He whispered in his ear and said two more words.
Lin Zhiyan suddenly looked up at him, his expression both shocked and shy.
He saw Lu Ze open his mouth as if he were about to speak, and he quickly pounced on him to stop him from speaking, his watery cat-like eyes red. “Shut up!”
Lu Ze looked up at him, his eyes dark. Lin Zhiyan felt a wet and hot sensation in his palm, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He wanted to run.
But Lu Ze grabbed his ankle and threw him onto the sofa.
“Why are you running, Senior?” He slowly pressed down on him, his voice laced with a smile. “Senior is happy, but I’m not happy yet.”
“Hmm? Is Gege that cruel?”
Lin Zhiyan’s heart trembled. He felt that this time was different from before. “S-shall I help you?”
Lu Ze replied lightly, “Alright.”
Before Lin Zhiyan could relax, he saw Lu Ze say lightly:
“Then how about you help me with this?”
Lin Zhiyan’s eyes widened. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was swallowed by the endless surge…
***
When Lin Zhiyan woke up, the night outside the window was already getting dark. He blinked, and his eyes felt a little sore. He wanted to struggle to get up, but his legs were also sore.
He remembered the absurd things that had happened before, and his face turned pale and then white.
Just then, Lu Ze walked over, sat on the bed, and said in a gentle voice, “You’re awake?”
“Do your legs still hurt?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t spoken. As soon as he spoke, Lin Zhiyan couldn’t help but remember the scene where he had cried and begged him to stop, but he had turned a deaf ear.
He couldn’t help but turn his head away.
Lu Ze half-leaned over and coaxed him in a soft voice, “Even if Senior is angry with me, you can’t be angry with yourself. You haven’t even eaten lunch.”
Lin Zhiyan threw a pillow at him. “You have the nerve to say that!”
Lu Ze took it all and just said, “It’s all my fault. I specially ordered some things to apologize to Senior. Even if you’re angry, you have to eat your fill before you can be angry.”
Lu Ze coaxed him for a while longer before Lin Zhiyan finally poked his head out from under the covers.
It wasn’t that he was really that angry, it was more… embarrassment.
He was ashamed to face it.
After getting out of bed, the hotel table was already filled with food, a few dishes, and a bowl of fresh soup.
Lin Zhiyan was indeed starving. His stomach couldn’t help but growl when he smelled the food.
Lu Ze set the bowl and chopsticks for him. Lin Zhiyan took a bite. The taste was indeed good, and his expression softened a lot.
As he was eating, his gaze fell on a bag on the side. The name of a pharmacy was written on it, and he couldn’t help but be confused. “What’s this?”
Lu Ze’s tone was light. “I had a delivery man send some medicine, for external injuries.”
Lin Zhiyan didn’t think of where he would need to use the medicine for a moment. After waiting for a while, while chewing on his food, his face suddenly turned red.
The base of his thighs was faintly aching. He didn’t know if the skin was broken.
He buried his head in his food and didn’t speak anymore.
After dinner, Lu Ze said he wanted to apply medicine for him. Lin Zhiyan said he would do it himself, but Lu Ze insisted.
In the end, Lin Zhiyan had no choice but to sit on the bed and watch with a lowered gaze as Lu Ze carefully applied the ointment, his expression annoyed.
He gripped the bedsheet and suddenly said in a small voice, “I don’t dislike it.”
Lu Ze looked up at him.
Lin Zhiyan’s face was red, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. “I mean, I don’t dislike you calling me that.”
…And he didn’t dislike other things either.
Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, then his lips curled into a light smile. He understood perfectly and called out to him softly, “Gege.”
Lin Zhiyan nodded, a smile he couldn’t suppress on his lips, and let out a low hum in agreement.
