Chapter 94 - Xiang Ge I Love You (M) (1/2)

After the two got home, ChenYing went to chat with Aunt Wang while ZhouXiang returned to his room. He called YanMingXiu immediately when he got into his room. Earlier ChenYing was there so it wasn’t appropriate to say certain things. After the phone call was connected, ZhouXiang quickly asked, “How could you just casually take my mom out?”

YanMingXiu replied without any guilt whatsoever, “Could it be that you don’t want her to get better treatment?”

“Her condition is good right now.”

“That’s because she hasn’t been ill too long ago. There are many complications in the later stages of uremia and your understanding of this disease is too limited, including the hospital where she was getting her treatment. That is not a good hospital. Don’t tell me you don’t want her to have the best treatment?”

The words YanMingXiu said literally pushed ZhouXiang onto a high wall, making it sound as though ZhouXiang didn’t want ChenYing to have contact with YanMingXiu, even if it’s at the expense of providing better treatment for her. ZhouXiang couldn’t dispute this.

He responded irritably, “You’re capable. What you say is reasonable but I don’t want her to be confused and think of foolish thoughts. She’s just a conservative old lady. If this messed-up situation gets passed to her ears, she’ll get sick even if she wasn’t before.

YanMingXiu responded lightly, “I think she’s much more open-minded and understanding than you think.”

“Don’t use your lame arguments to make this sound logical.”

YanMingXiu is silent and then asked rhetorically, “ZhouXiang, she’s not your real mother. Do you really care that much about her?”

This time it was ZhouXiang that is silent. He thought a bit before responding, “Although she’s not my real mother, I’ve always wanted a mother. Besides, I took over her son’s body; I can’t possibly not fulfill my filial piety in his place.”

“Okay, I understand. Since you treat her as your mother, I’ll also treat her as my mother.”

ZhouXiang got angry, “Don’t fucking bullshit. My mom can’t accept this kind of honor!” After saying that, he promptly hung up.

YanMingXiu didn’t call back. ZhouXiang took a shower and fell onto the bed. He felt like he had been busy for an entire day so he was especially tired.

In fact, he certainly hoped that ChenYing could be treated in a good hospital. He had actually gone to that hospital initially and waited in line from two in the middle of the night until 6 in the morning just to get a ticket number. In the end, he still couldn’t get it. Then when he looked at trying to buy a ticket number, the cost was ¥3,000, immediately scaring him. The online appointment to see the specialist was already booked out past four months. And even if the patient could be seen, if there needs to be a return visit, the wait is still a long time. When he thought of how difficult it is just to get an examination for an illness at a good hospital, he was afraid that ChenYing couldn’t afford the wait so he no longer bothered with it.

It’s not the same for someone with power and status. The hospital is like a home clinic. Seeking out the best doctors in the country is an easy thing to do. No matter how unjust ZhouXiang felt about this, he can’t help but accept this fact.

He has a feeling as though YanMingXiu is a hunter, setting a net everywhere around him, waiting for him to have nowhere to go and then he would immediately pull the net. At that time, he may never be able to escape again.

But this is a trap he dared not and didn’t want to jump into. He jumped into it once and lost his life. Even for a dog, if it had licked a fire pan once, it wouldn’t be stupid enough to do it again, let alone people.

ZhouXiang heaved a sighed and realized that he couldn’t fall sleep so he grabbed a book and started to read.

After a while, sensing that his eyes have started to feel droopy, he finally decided to go to sleep. Unexpectedly, his cell phone rang at this time.

ZhouXiang first looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two o’clock in the middle of the night. Who would call him? When he picked up his phone to check, surely it is YanMingXiu.

ZhouXiang didn’t want to pick up but pondering for a while, he still picked up, “Hey.”

“ZhouXiang, you haven’t slept yet?”

ZhouXiang responded lazily, “You woke me up.”

“The lights in your room are on.”

ZhouXiang subconsciously straightened up his body and turned his head, “Where are you?”

“Downstairs.”

“What are you doing here?”

YanMingXiu’s voice is soft like the softest thick satin, “I made you angry, so I couldn’t sleep. I wanted to come to your home to see but didn’t expect your lights to be on.”

ZhouXiang is silent. YanMingXiu’s caring attitude made him feel very uneasy, especially his heart, pounded beat by beat. He sighed softly, “I’m going to sleep, (you) go back.”

“Can I go up? It’s cold outside.”

“You’re not in the car?”

“I don’t want to be in the car, can’t see your windows from inside the car.”

ZhouXiang raked through his hair irritably, “YanMingXiu, don’t be like this. It’s not like you.”

“What is like me?”

“You… I don’t know, just go back.”

“I don’t want to. I want go up. I want see you.”

“YanMingXiu, what is really with you?”

“If I don’t see you for even a day, I get anxious.” YanMingXiu softly muttered, “Very anxious. Xiang Ge, you were so good to me before. At the time, I’ve always felt that it should be like that because who told you to like me? In this past three years, I’ve relied on our memories from then to endure. What I’m most afraid of is that you would disappear again. I want you to move back because I want to be able to see you when I come home and have you by my side when I wake up every day. I no longer wanted to go through life not being able to find you… see you… or hear your voice. That was truly a nightmare.”

ZhouXiang’s hand holding the phone trembled.

“I’m up. Open the door for me.”

ZhouXiang heard the footsteps from the quiet stairwell on his phone.

“I’m outside your door,” YanMingXiu reminded him.

ZhouXiang sat on the bed for a while before hanging up the phone. Then he got up, put on his slippers, draped his thick pajamas around his shoulders and walked pass the living room to open the door for YanMingXiu.

YanMingXiu’s body exuded cold air, his ears and cheeks were red. He seemed to have been standing outside for a long time.

ZhouXiang was about to say something but YanMingXiu rushed over and embraced him tightly, his cold lips smashing onto his lips.

The living room is very dark. ZhouXiang took a few steps back and almost fell onto the sofa. The pajamas he had draped on his shoulders fell to the floor. He was only wearing a tank top and shorts to sleep. Being pulled into YanMingXiu’s embrace immediately exposed him to the chilling air from the outside; his whole body shivered from the cold.

However, his (YanMingXiu) lips that were tightly pressing on his lips are hot, the thrashing of his tongue is also hot and even YanMingXiu’s hand holding his waist is gradually getting hot.

ZhouXiang is kissed to the point where he felt a bit dizzy, his mind blank for a while. Then he pushed YanMingXiu away and reached his hand to cover his mouth and whispered, “Don’t make any sound.” After saying that, he pulled YanMingXiu into his room and shut the door tightly.

If ChenYing were to see YanMingXiu, he wouldn’t be able to clearly explain to her.

YanMingXiu’s enthusiasm did not get impeded. Right when the door is locked, he immediately pushed ZhouXiang to the bed.

ZhouXiang tried to avoid his advances but his bare skin still touched YanMingXiu’s clothes. He softly scolded, “Your body is freezing cold.”

YanMingXiu took off his coat and threw it on the floor, then clasped onto ZhouXiang’s hand and kissed him intensely.
