CH 40.1

“Are we divorced after the agreement is over?”

Lu Nan couldn’t breathe as he held the boy in his arms. The boy showed no fear or intention to hide, and it was clear that he wasn’t fully awake. He lowered his head and nestled his soft cheeks against Lu Nan’s tense jaw, burying his face in Lu Nan’s neck.

Although he had been warm for a while, Lin Yu He’s body still had some lingering chills. His smooth and cool face was pressed against Lu Nan’s neck, which felt soft to the touch. He unconsciously rubbed against that neck, softening even the heart.

When Lin Yu He breathed, his cool breath touched Lu Nan’s chest, and he asked in a muffled voice, “Brother, do you want to do it?”

“…” Lu Nan’s hands, which were around the person’s waist, had to be tightly clenched to avoid losing his composure and hurting the person in his arms. In the past twelve hours, he had traveled between two places, overcome many obstacles, and signed a contract that was about to cause an uproar before the actions of various forces. But now, Lu Nan feels that those thrilling difficulties couldn’t even compare to one ten-thousandth of the difficulty of the decision at the moment.

Lu Nan bowed his head and kissed the hair of the boy in his arms, taking advantage of this intimate contact to suspend the terrifying impulse in his heart. However, this relief had little effect, even like a lost person who starts to drink seawater when they are so thirsty. So, you can only drink more and become thirstier.

The man asked hoarsely, “Do you want to, Ning Ning?”

Lin Yu He was still leaning against his neck, nestled in his arms, in a very nostalgic posture. “Do it,” he said softly. “Brother, don’t leave me.”

For that beam of light and heat, I would rather fly moths to the flame.

“I don’t know…” Lu Nan’s hoarse voice suddenly froze. After a while, he spoke again, with indescribable bitterness. “I will never leave you again.”

The room fell silent.

No one spoke until, after a long time, Lu Nan carefully checked the boy who was still in his arms, only to find that the boy had fallen asleep.

It was as if he had finally found the heat source he longed for and could rely on it to his heart’s content, so he fell asleep so peacefully.

Lin Yu He, who was asleep, still hugged Lu Nan tightly, even though he was put back on the bed, he still didn’t let go. Lu Nan lay down with the man, wrapped him in a quilt, and tucked in the quilt.

Worried about getting bored, Lu Nan carefully pulled the quilt under Lin Yu He’s chin. But not long after, the boy came over by himself and buried his whole face in Lu Nan’s chest.

Lu Nan couldn’t help slowing down his breathing.

Through a layer of soft quilt, he gently patted Lin Yu He’s back. When he lowered his eyes, he could see the bright red marks on Lin Yu He’s thin back neck. They were engraved by Lu Nan himself, and further down, inside the tightly wrapped pajamas, there were more and more vivid traces.

It was like captivity, a unique mark. Dyeing a person with your own breath from hair to toes.

I want to make him my own. No matter how much you want to give him, it is never enough.

When Lin Yu He woke up, he didn’t know what time it was. He had a vague feeling that he had slept for a long time, as if he had slept through the morning. But this sleep was so comfortable, his whole body was warm, like soaking in a hot spring. It was so comfortable that he didn’t even want to open his eyes.

Lin Yu He, who rarely stays in bed, finally opened his eyes when his rationality gradually returned and told him that he couldn’t continue to sleep.

The field of vision was a bit dark and there was no light. Lin Yu He tried to move and turn over to touch the phone beside the bed, but before he could raise his arms, the pain in his waist took his breath away.

“Hiss…” Lin Yu He gasped as half of his body went numb with pain.

But soon, he discovered that the numbness was not only due to the lower back, but also the wound between his legs. Thinking of what happened last night, Lin Yu He froze immediately. He and Mr. Lu…

Before he could recover from the unbearable memory, Lin Yu He’s lower back suddenly felt warm. A big hand was covering his waist, and the heat was transmitted through a layer of clothing, gently massaging and kneading his sore muscles.

This kind of massage was more comfortable than the feeling of sleeping in a hot spring just now, but Lin Yu He, who had woken up, noticed something was wrong. Who?

He raised his head in a hurry, but suddenly bumped into something hard. “Ouch!”

The lower body that was affected by the action also began to ache, and Lin Yu He’s eye sockets were a little wet from the pain. Then he heard a man’s magnetic voice very close to his ear. “Be careful.”

The place where the top of Lin Yu He’s head had hit was covered with warmth, and the man stretched out his hand to protect him, allowing him to slowly raise his head. After seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Lin Yu He finally realized that he had bumped into Lu Nan’s chin.

“Brother? Sorry…”

He hastily apologized, but it was not this matter that embarrassed Lin Yu He the most. It was his current situation – he was nestled in Lu Nan’s arms, with his arms around Lu Nan’s waist, holding him tight like a hot water bag.

Lin Yu He’s brain was numb. So what he had soaked in was not a hot spring at all, but Mr. Lu…

“I’m sorry…” Lin Yu He could only repeat his feeble apology, stumbling a bit. “What time is it now? Did I oversleep?”

In contrast, Lu Nan’s expression was very calm. He didn’t have any special reaction after being used as a “tool man” for so long. He just said indifferently, “It’s okay, it’s still early.” He also reminded, “When you wake up, get up and eat something.”

Lin Yu He asked, “Are we going out?” He still remembered why he spent so much time last night: “It’s not that I might have to meet people from the Lu family today…”

As he spoke, Lin Yu He bit the bullet and let go of Lu Nan’s hand. Enduring the pain in his body, he tried his best to move back a little.

In fact, the pain was not really painful, but those parts were too private and the shame was greater than the pain.

Lu Nan looked down at the boy who was carefully withdrawing from his arms. As soon as he woke up, he tried to back away. The house was warm, but there would still be cool air pouring in, making the empty embrace even colder.

Seeing Lin Yu He who wanted to get up urgently despite the wound on his body, Lu Nan stretched out his hand and pushed him back.

“Not for now, the Lu family is busy.”
