Chapter 60: Are you single? (1/2)
There was only one bed in the room. Fortunately, the hotel room Kang Shengzhe was staying in was specially provided by the company and both the room and bed were large in size. Therefore, it was not an issue for two men to share the same bed.
Now that sleeping was brought up, You Liangxing had a realisation that Kang Shengzhe’s height made him over long; when he lied down completely, a portion of his legs would stick out without any support and it made it impossible for him to sleep comfortably.
You Liangxing conveyed his question with his eyes and Kang Shengzhe waved his concerns away.
— Got used to it.
After he had his growth spurt, he had always slept like that. Even if he was not used to it, he had to get used to it.
You Liangxing faltered and Kang Shengzhe patted the bed with eyes full of excitement. Now that his face was fully unveiled, there was nothing restraining his temperament, allowing his decadence to ooze out naturally. The two feelings intermingled and it gave rise to a complex and persistent aesthetic.
Although nothing was being said, his expression was enough to convey the bolded words written on his face: Come here.
What do you mean by come here…. You Liangxing lowered his eyes and said, “Sleep.”
Kang Shengzhe’s expression changed instantaneously, and he tapped on his phone with a closed-eyed smile.
— Sleep sounds good, let’s sleep together.
You Liangxing could not shake off the feeling that something was wrong even though he could not pinpoint the problem. When he hadn’t known that the person was Ah Sheng, he had felt perturbed by the coy looks he was given. However, after knowing that the person was Ah Sheng, he found that he could tolerate his suggestive gazes, and he even thought that it could not be more normal.
You Liangxing said: “Sleep first, I’m going to shower.”
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes were shining. — Shower? Okay, okay, that’s good, shower quickly, shower quickly.
You Liangxing: “… Don’t wait up.”
Kang Shengzhe nodded like a little chick who was pecking rice. — I won’t, I won’t.
Frowning, You Liangxing eventually made his way into the bathroom. Since Kang Shengzhe had an injury on his body, he could not shower, whereas You Liangxing always had the habit of showering once a day and that has never changed.
Despite that, he was still in a hotel and it was not as convenient as home. He was finished with his shower after ten minutes or so and he proceeded to put on his pants. When he grabbed his shirt, however, he discovered that some of the water residue had soaked it through.
After hesitating for a moment, You Liangxing flicked his shirt open and hung it up, leaving his top half bare as he walked out. The two lights by the bed was still turned on, and Kang Shengzhe was lying on his side of the bed as he looked over his direction with the desire to pierce.
You Liangxing knew that it was impossible for him to sleep first. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Kang Shengzhe staring at him firmly, eyes glazed and fervent. For the first time since he was born, You Liangxing wanted to cover his chest.
“… What are you looking at?”
The tone he used sounded like something out of devils and monsters but Kang Shengzhe was unfazed. Instead, he raised his phone and pressed it close to him.
— Liang Liang~ You have a nice figure~
From the text, it was unclear whether he was praising him or he was envious. You Liangxing lowered his head to look at himself but he felt like it was nothing special.
— Abdominal muscles, mermaid line, you have all of it.
You Liangxing said, “You don’t?”
Kang Shengzhe: — No.
Objectively speaking, You Liangxing’s figure was excellent; his entire body did not look brawny, rather, it gave him a slimming effect whenever he put on clothes. His muscle mass was inclined towards the lean category and he was well-proportioned; without his shirt, the lines of his abdominal muscles and waist were deadly temptations.
Afraid that You Liangxing would not believe him, Kang Shengzhe lifted his shirt, and all You Liangxing could see when he glanced down was a white belly.
— See, I told you I don’t have it.
You Liangxing: “……” You have no reason to be that proud.
Kang Shengzhe fluttered his eyelashes: — I’m envious because I have neither. In this life, I can only rely on touching others to fulfil my dreams.
Then, with a pitiful expression: — Do you think that’s okay?
You Liangxing: “It’s not, scram.”
Kang Shengzhe: — Ying ying ying.
Despite his great disappointment, Kang Shengzhe did not stop staring. Using a pillow, You Liangxing smacked Kang Shengzhe back onto the bed, effectively stopping his gaze. While Kang Shengzhe was rubbing his face, You Liangxing lied down on his bed and covered the both of them with the same blanket.
There was only half an arm’s worth of distance between them.
…. So close.
You Liangxing tried to ignore the persistent feeling and turned off the lights. “Sleep.”
Kang Shengzhe hummed softly, and a few seconds later, the other bedside lamp went out, welcoming the darkness of the night.
His surroundings were quiet, and in the circumstance where it was too quiet, You Liangxing’s five senses were particularly keen. When his eyes flitted open, he saw Kang Shengzhe looking at him. The moonlight shone on half his face, and his eyes were curved by his smile.
You Liangxing: “… Close your eyes.”
Kang Shengzhe raised his phone: — Okay.
You Liangxing closed his eyes only to open them a while later, but Kang Shengzhe was still staring at him.
“I’ll give you three more seconds.”
As his voice landed, Kang Shengzhe shut his eyes immediately. However, before his drowsiness had time to set in, he felt a sudden emanating of light.
Kang Shengzhe grinned: — I forgot to say something, Liang Liang, your voice sounds really nice and it really matches your real person~~~
You Liangxing: “……”
You Liangxing shot a punch towards Kang Shengzhe’s eyes, and it made Kang Shengzhe to close his eyes obediently.
Because he could not open them.
In the dead of the night, the drowsiness crept up quietly. Before You Liangxing fell into deep sleep, a fleeting, silent thought made itself known in his mind: … His belly is so white.
