Chapter 88
Si Guiyan’s heart trembled fiercely, and the surging tide of emotions could no longer be restrained. He gripped Lu Ze’s hand with a force, and his whole body fell into his embrace.
“Lu Ze…” Si Guiyan raised his head slightly to look at him, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down, his eyes filled with a dark and deep affection. Lu Ze’s one hand was on his chest, his posture obedient, his lips lightly pursed, and his black and bright eyes were shining with a faint expectation and joy, full of him.
Si Guiyan let out a sigh, and he couldn’t restrain the affection in his heart, and at the same time, he secretly mocked himself for not being as decisive as a young man in his twenties.
He held Lu Ze’s side face with one hand, looked up and kissed his lips, his voice low and distant. “I like you.”
Lu Ze’s hand on his chest tightened, and he slowly gripped his lapels.
Si Guiyan took a step back, and the thumb on his side face slowly caressed him, and he expressed his feelings almost sincerely. “It’s my first time liking someone, so I have no experience. You can also think of me as being stubborn and unwilling to admit it.” He paused, and his gaze fell on his face, and he carefully considered his words. “Not a lover. I’ve never thought of you as a lover. I like you, from beginning to end.”
His voice was low and soft. “I’m just worried that you’ll be deceived by others… after all, I’m eleven years older than you, and those people are so much younger than me, and they have more in common with you…” He curled his lips, a little self-deprecating. “It’s not obvious now, but in another ten years, I’ll be in my forties, and you’ll be in the prime of your life…”
Lu Ze looked down at him and said slowly, “When you’re in your forties, will you not like me anymore, Brother Yan?”
Si Guiyan’s one hand had, at some point, rested on Lu Ze’s waist. Hearing this, he shook his head and almost subconsciously refuted, “No.”
Si Guiyan rarely thought about forever, and he never believed in those vows of eternal love, but for Lu Ze, he had the confidence to walk with him forever.
Lu Ze said, “Then you don’t believe me, Brother Yan?”
Si Guiyan looked up at him. Lu Ze’s two hands climbed onto his shoulders, and his waist was half-bent, and his line of sight was at the same level as his. He said, “Si Guiyan, my feelings are the same as yours.”
Si Guiyan’s lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Lu Ze had already kissed him first.
This kiss was intimate and gentle, without a trace of amorousness, and it was pure and sincere. Si Guiyan’s hand on him tightened subconsciously, and he heard him say, “From a young age, countless people have pursued me, but I don’t fall in love with someone so easily.”
He rubbed his lips and murmured, “Brother Yan, you should have more confidence in me, and also more confidence in yourself.”
“Whether it’s Qiao Mingyuan or Song Xingran, my Brother Yan is so outstanding. How can others compare to you?”
He took a step back, and there was only half a finger’s distance between his lips and his. He said, “You don’t have to be jealous. From beginning to end, I’ve only been yours.”
Si Guiyan’s heart moved, and he held him tightly in his arms. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, I’ve wronged you.”
Lu Ze knelt on the sofa, his chin resting on his shoulder, a faint smile in his eyes.
Si Guiyan turned his head and kissed the root of his ear, and murmured in a low voice, “The agreement has been torn up. From now on, let’s just be in a serious relationship, okay?”
Lu Ze retreated from his embrace, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked, “You don’t regret it, Brother Yan?” He said, “I won’t give you another chance to regret it.”
Si Guiyan couldn’t help but laugh. He raised his hand and rubbed his hair. “I should be the one saying that.”
He looked at him, a slow smile in his eyes, and said with a smile, “Boyfriend.”
The corners of Lu Ze’s mouth curled up high. He lowered his head and kissed his lips, and also said, “Boyfriend.”
The atmosphere in the room slowly became gentle and lingering, and both of them were enjoying this moment of affection. Lu Ze leaned against him, and his nose twitched slightly. “You were smoking again just now, Brother Yan.”
Si Guiyan was at a loss for words for a moment, and he said in a good-tempered voice, “I was in a bad mood just now, and I was afraid of scaring you, so I lit a cigarette. I didn’t take many puffs.” Because he remembered that Lu Ze had said before that he didn’t like the smell of smoke.
He paused, then added, “If you don’t like it, I won’t touch it again in the future.”
Lu Ze shook his head, and his body moved closer to him. “It’s very sexy.”
Si Guiyan raised an eyebrow. Lu Ze moved closer to his lips and licked them with the tip of his tongue, as if he were tasting the residual taste of the cigar. His eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly looked up, his gaze dark and unspeakable, and he said in a low voice, “The way you smoke, Brother Yan… is very sexy.”
The atmosphere in the air instantly changed, and Si Guiyan’s breathing became heavy.
He asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you like it?”
Lu Ze’s lips were very close to his, so close that their lips could rub against each other when they spoke, which was tantalizingly close, but he didn’t go any deeper.
He said, “You can smoke a little occasionally…” One of his hands slowly touched his hand, and his fingers caressed his index and middle fingers, which had been holding the cigarette before, and his voice was low and slow with a smile, and he said in his ear, “When I just came in, I saw you holding a cigarette in your hand, and I almost…”
He slowly said two words in his ear. The roots of Si Guiyan’s ears turned red, and he suddenly sat up straight, and glared at him with both shame and anger. “Lu Ze!”
Lu Ze had an innocent look on his face. “You’re so good-looking, Brother Yan. Isn’t it normal for me to not be able to control myself?” With his beloved there, it would be abnormal if he could remain unmoved.
Si Guiyan’s breathing was slightly chaotic. For a moment, he was both happy that he could affect Lu Ze’s desire, and also a little unable to stand his explicit words.
He said with a red face, “Say less of this kind of thing.”
Lu Ze blinked and slowly understood. “Alright, I won’t say it.”
Before Si Guiyan could react to why he was so obedient, he saw Lu Ze press against him again, and there was no gap between them, and their posture was intimate. He heard him draw out his voice and say, “I miss you so much, Brother Yan.”
Si Guiyan’s heart softened, and he no longer had the mind to dwell on those things. He reached out and squeezed the back of his neck. “You miss me so much, and you haven’t even called me for so long since you joined the crew? You heartless little thing.”
Lu Ze let out two snorts of laughter. “What did you do yourself, Brother Yan? And you have the nerve to say that about me?”
Si Guiyan thought of his unenlightened reply before and was at a loss for words. He just said, “My fault. I’ve wronged you.”
Lu Ze was smiling. “Then how do you plan to compensate me, Brother Yan?”
Si Guiyan raised an eyebrow and asked, “What do you want? A car or a house? Or…”
Lu Ze shook his head and looked at him with a smile. “I don’t want any of them.”
After he finished speaking, he held Si Guiyan and suddenly turned over, and pressed him down on himself. He held the back of his neck with one hand, raised his neck, and bit his earlobe, and said in a hoarse voice, “I want… you to be on top… and move yourself, okay, Brother Yan?”
.
Si Guiyan’s breathing hitched, and the hand holding his lapels slowly tightened…
Si Guiyan was influenced by his family’s education. He had not been close to men in the past. Later, after he got together with Lu Ze, although he was a little more unrestrained in this aspect, he was still inclined to be traditional. He would usually blush and his heart would beat faster when he heard Lu Ze say a few dirty words in bed, not to mention…
Lu Ze did not force him and just looked at him with a smile. Si Guiyan gritted his teeth and, in the end, slowly began to try…
.
The next morning, as the director had said, Lu Ze had no scenes. When he woke up, he glanced out the window, and the sun was already high in the sky. The person beside him was still sleeping soundly, and the firm muscles on his exposed upper body were covered with ambiguous red marks. His handsome face was slightly furrowed because of the dancing sunlight, and he was a little impatient.
Lu Ze got out of bed lightly, pulled the curtain that was open a crack, and Si Guiyan turned over, and indeed slept much more peacefully.
Lu Ze’s eyes were smiling. He picked up his phone and ordered some takeout, then went to the bathroom to wash up, and the takeout had almost arrived.
He squatted by the bed, raised his hand and gently poked Si Guiyan, and called out, “Brother Yan?”
Si Guiyan’s eyelashes trembled, but he did not open his eyes. Lu Ze’s eyes were smiling, and he continued, “Get up, eat something first.”
Si Guiyan covered his head with the blanket, not wanting to get up. Lu Ze carefully lifted a corner and coaxed him in a gentle voice, “You didn’t eat much last night. Aren’t you hungry?”
Si Guiyan’s voice was drowsy, with a thick nasal tone. “You have the nerve to say that?”
Yesterday, they had started before it got dark and had continued until the night was dark. Lu Ze had casually ordered some takeout, but as they were eating, he had somehow gone into a frenzy and had done it again. In the end, Si Guiyan was in a daze and didn’t know what time it was. How could he care about being hungry or not?
“My fault,” Lu Ze said. “I’ve ordered crab roe soup dumplings and seafood porridge. Do you want to get up and eat some and then go back to sleep? I don’t have any scenes this morning, so I’ll be with you all the time.”
But Si Guiyan shook his head and slowly sat up straight. “No, I’m flying back this afternoon.”
Lu Ze’s hand, which was rubbing his waist, paused. He looked up at him. Si Guiyan tapped his forehead and smiled. “There’s a bunch of stuff at the company. Do you think I’m idle all day?”
The Si Corporation was an unshakable behemoth in the business world, but at the same time, the number of documents that he, the CEO, had to review and handle every day was also countless. To be able to spare a day to accompany Lu Ze was already the result of his assistant’s careful coordination. How could he continue to stay?
“No,” Lu Ze replied, his emotions obviously not high. He composed himself and then asked, “What time is your flight in the afternoon?”
Si Guiyan said lazily, “Two o’clock. After I go back, I still have a meeting, and there’s also a dinner party at night.”
Lu Ze glanced at the time. It was almost ten now. It was almost time to eat and then simply pack up and leave. There was not much time left for the two of them.
Lu Ze didn’t say anything to keep him, but just said, “My scenes are heavy recently. When my scenes are a little less in a few days, I’ll go back and find you.”
Si Guiyan looked at him lazily and smiled. “Are you reluctant to part?”
Lu Ze said, “Should I be?”
Si Guiyan let out a “ha.” “You dare.”
Lu Ze smiled and pulled him up. “I don’t dare.” He then picked out a few pieces of clothing from his suitcase for him and said, “Go and wash up and eat first. I’ll pack whatever you need to pack.”
Si Guiyan held his hand and pulled it back. “There’s nothing to pack.” He stood up and said, “Just eat your meal.”
Only then did Lu Ze smile and sit at the table, taking out the dishes one by one and arranging them. When Si Guiyan came out, they ate together.
The two of them chatted as they ate. Si Guiyan asked, “How much longer will this drama be filmed?”
Lu Ze calculated. “My scenes will probably take another month or so.”
Si Guiyan nodded. “The next drama is the male lead in a movie? When does it start?”
Lu Ze: “Sister Xiang said that the drama is already in preparation for filming recently. Not long after this drama is over, I’ll probably have to join the crew.”
Si Guiyan hummed in agreement and asked, “Is it the male lead this time, so there are more scenes?”
“There are more,” Lu Ze smiled. “But the movie’s production cycle is shorter. If it goes smoothly, it can be finished in about a month.”
Only then did Si Guiyan show a satisfied look, and then he asked, “Is there any more work after that?”
Lu Ze said, “No.”
He said, “There are three dramas this year, and they will be released one after another next year. That’s enough. At the end of this year, I might have to run a few roadshows, but there’s nothing else to do for the rest of the time.”
Si Guiyan asked, “Do you not need to go on variety shows?”
Lu Ze smiled. “No need.”
Lu Ze was not interested in becoming a big star. Too much exposure would affect his daily life. After that, he would film one or two dramas every year and occasionally show his face in front of the camera, which was about enough.
“I want to spend the rest of my time with you. You’re busy, and if I’m also busy, we probably won’t see each other a few times a year.”
Si Guiyan’s expression softened slightly, and he said, “A good script is more important than a lot of them. There’s no hurry.” He paused, then added, “If you have nothing to do usually, you can also learn something more, like finance and investment. If you’re interested, I can teach you.”
Lu Ze’s eyes curved slightly. “CEO Si is teaching me? Is there a fee?”
Si Guiyan said, “It’s free forever.”
