Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three: Regarding Those Ears (1/2)

After having a beautiful dinner, Yan Jin could not take it anymore and tactfully expressed his curiosity over the extra parts on top of Xiao Yu’s head.

“You can’t keep them?”

“…… What?”

Xiao Yu, who had his stomach round and filled, laid on the couch lazily. Even his reaction was slower than usual.

Long, long ago, he had had the opportunity to taste Yan Jin’s cooking and it was shockingly remarkable. It was a pity that Yan Jin soon found out that hamster should not be fed with human food and took away that luxury.

Now that he could taste Yan Jin’s food once again, Xiao Yu felt satisfied and had to once again prostrate himself in admiration for Yan Jin’s cooking skills.

“You really can’t keep them?”

Yan Jin asked again, looking somewhat awkward.

Xiao Yu was dazed for a moment before he finally understood what Yan Jin was talking about.

“A-Are they weird?”

Xiao Yu felt slightly uneasy, and the pair of ears on top of his head quivered.

According to his experiment’s results, after he turned back into a human from his hamster form, his ears and tail would still require a long time before they would revert. Xiao Yu had been pretending that the pair of obvious body parts did not exist at all. Now that the chairman had raised the topic, it made him felt a bit embarrassed.

Are they very weird looking? Are they ugly? Very unsightly?

Those little ears, realizing that they were being disliked by their owner, drooped backwards and trembled.

The main culprit let out a low laugh as he reached out to rub Xiao Yu’s head and pinched the tips of the ears while he was at it.

The little ears drooped even lower.

“What do you want? Don’t touch them if they’re too ugly.” Xiao Yu turned his head away to dodge Yan Jin’s evil claw.

“How could they be ugly?” Yan Jin blinked his eyes and answered in a deadly, earnest manner:. “What I meant was, if you choose to continue acting so adorable then I’m gonna kiss you.”

With that, he pressed a quick peck to the tip of one ear and quickly moved away.

“I’ll go wash the dishes. You can take a break on the couch.”

When Xiao Yu finally came around, covered his ears, and blushed, Yan Jin was already some distance away.

“Jerk…”

All he knows is how to tease, tease, and tease. I can easily tell that he’s a playboy.

Xiao Yu had no way to deal with Yan Jin at all. In the end, he could only mentally ridicule him in response.

When Yan Jin finished putting all the dirty utensils into the dishwasher, he was surprised to see the adorable little ears still stuck on Xiao Yu’s head.

Yan Jin crept up silently to the younger man and examined the ears for a while. Then he waited for the perfect moment and jumped forward.

Xiao Yu’s furry ears stood upright as he sat immersed in his game app. Suddenly, they got pressed down by a pair of big hands shocking him so badly that he threw away his iPad.

“AHH!”

“You really can’t keep them?” Yan Jin’s body leaned forward closely as his elbow curled around Xiao Yu’s neck intimately.

“I really can’t keep them!” Xiao Yu answered again frustratedly. This time, his tone was firm and outright when he answered Yan Jin’s stupid question.

With his sensitive ears caught by the other man, the designer raised his head with difficulty. His ears were freed eventually but his entire body was still caught in the other’s embrace. For a moment, they exchanged glances with one another.

It was weird because both of them usually did not like having too much body contact with anyone else. Yet, at this moment, neither of them felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was fate, or maybe it was Heaven’s Will, or it may have been simply an excuse they could always use whenever they got stuck in such a situation that they could not explain themselves. Right now, Xiao Yu could hear his heart beating aloud. Of course, due to their unique positions, he could also hear Yan Jin’s heart beat as well.

As he was looked upon by that cheatingly gentle gaze, no matter how many times it had happened before, Xiao Yu could only choose to give in.

So, he chose to close his eyes.

Occasionally, the playful breeze would pass by and carefully lift the curtain upwards. It witnessed the couple that was kissing while embraced, and ran away bashfully.

A gust of wind that came suddenly caused a ripple on the spring’s water.

……

After a long night talking, the two people only fell asleep at midnight.

“Why are they not gone yettttt???”

It was the morning of the second day when Xiao Yu saw his extra pairs of ears still there in the mirror, and had mixed feelings about them.

Yan Jin, who was behind him, caressed his head casually.

“Don’t touch them! Have you washed your hands?!”

Yan Jin innocently shrugged his shoulders, facing Xiao Yu’s anger. He quickly gave in and leaned forward to curry favor. “They’re not affecting anything. There’s no problem leaving them just like that.”

“How could it be ‘not affecting anything’?!” Xiao Yu grabbed his own extra ears as he said depressedly, “How am I supposed to face anyone like this?”

“You don’t have to meet anyone, just let me be the only one who sees them.”

“Nonsense is all you know. Move, don’t block my way.”

Xiao Yu pushed Yan Jin away as he huffed and puffed his way out of the guest room’s bathroom.

Hn, Yan Jin was sleeping in his master bedroom last night, yet he insists on coming over to his guest room to wash up. Such an obvious act with sinister motives.

Xiao Yu spent the entire afternoon worrying about his extra pair of ears. Luckily, at around eleven a.m., they finally disappeared.

Assuming that it might be because of how strong the vodka had been, it was understandable that it would take even longer for his metabolism to complete its work.

No matter what it was, Xiao Yu felt a huge weight off his shoulders when he finally turned back into his normal human form. At the same time, he mentally swore to never touch any alcohol again, never again!

With his ears gone, Xiao Yu’s mood instantly lifted. He wondered if it was his imagination that Yan Jin seemed a little disappointed.
