Chapter 107 (2/2)

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

After a long pause, Lin ShuYi spoke. “Shen Fu, I’ve missed you.”

Shen Fu was startled. He had thought of every question that Lin ShuYi could possibly ask him, everything except for this one. He suddenly experienced what it must feel like to have his thoughts explode like a flood, making him unable to resist wishing that he could rush to Lin ShuYi’s side right this instant. The surprise and excuses, none of them mattered anymore. He missed Lin ShuYi, missed him unbearably.

At the last critical moment, he finally did still end up enduring it. He worked so hard for so long just so that he could give Lin ShuYi a surprise: a wedding that he would remember for a lifetime. The efforts put into this surprise really couldn’t go down the drain.

He said huskily, “I miss you a lot too, I’ll be back soon.”

Nobody spoke on the other end. A long pause later, the call ended with a click.

Shen Fu: …

The second before had been dripping with warmth. What happened?

On the other side, Lin ShuYi was about to die from anger. He had even already said that line, yet Shen Fu was still keeping him in the dark. Just what exactly was Shen Fu hiding from him? Now he had to know. He whole-heartedly trusted Shen Fu deeply, so he never once imagined that Shen Fu was keeping him in the dark because of something unsightly. He could tell from Shen Fu’s voice, which was the sort that was oozing with tenderness because of how much he missed him. Because of that, Lin ShuYi grew even more curious. Just what exactly was Shen Fu doing behind his back? What sucked was that he had even tried using the honey trap, but Shen Fu didn’t fall for it!!!

Lin ShuYi threw his phone on the bed angrily, indicating that he wouldn’t pick up a single one of Shen Fu’s calls in the future.

This time, the panicked person suddenly switched places.

No matter how many times Shen Fu called, he couldn’t get through to Lin ShuYi. He was so worried and mad that he started to get blisters on his lips.

Once things finally drew to a close, Shen Fu burned with anxiety as he got on the plane to go back home.

It was three AM in the morning when he got to the airport. He didn’t stop for a single moment before he drove his car back to S City.

It was past five in the morning when he got to S City. The sky was already starting to grow bright, and Shen Fu hadn’t slept for two nights now. His body felt very exhausted, but his heart was extremely excited. Whenever he remembered that he was about to see Lin ShuYi, he felt a little bit as if he couldn’t control the smile on his mouth.

The people on ChaoYang Street were used to getting up early. Around six, there were already quite a few old grandpas and grannies who had gotten up and were walking around. However, the street was still very quiet, and the sound of Shen Fu’s car rumbling past still seemed extremely out of place in the peaceful setting, drawing quite a few people’s attention.

He stopped the car in front of the little villa. Shen Fu fished out his keys before he got out of the car and opened the door.

It was extremely quiet inside the house, so the sound of Shen Fu opening the door seemed particularly conspicuous. Shen Fu had just entered the house when Auntie Chen came out from her room. When she saw that it was Shen Fu, her vigilant expression abruptly became astonishment. “Xiao Shen, why did you come back at this hour?”

Shen Fu glanced upstairs. Auntie Chen said knowingly, “Xiao Lin hasn’t woken up yet. The two children are also still asleep. You should go up and take a look.”

Shen Fu nodded. “Auntie Chen, can you help make some breakfast for me? I was in a hurry to get back, so I haven’t eaten yet.”

Auntie Chen smiled. “Sure, I’ll get started right away.”

Only then did Shen Fu go upstairs.

Their room was across from the two kids’ rooms. There was a videophone installed in their rooms, and they could usually hear if there was any movement from Tao Tao’s room even if the door was closed. Right now, both of the doors to their rooms were still closed, so presumably they were still asleep.

Shen Fu softly and quietly opened the door to his and Lin ShuYi’s room.

The curtains were drawn tightly closed, and it was dark in the room. Shen Fu’s lips curled up, and walked straight to the side of the bed. The person on the bed still didn’t move at all, and Shen Fu laughed as he suddenly threw himself onto the bed.

“You’re back?!!”

Two seconds later, Shen Fu shot out his hand and flicked on the lamp. The bed was still nice and warm, but there was nobody in the bed at all. He was hugging empty blankets, and who knew where Lin ShuYi went.

Shen Fu sat up. He had just looked back when he discovered Lin ShuYi standing in the doorway to the bathroom, arms crossed, as he looked coldly at him.

Shen Fu didn’t say anything, his eyes fixed.

The collar of the cotton pajamas was very wide, and it was slanting loosely against his shoulders, revealing a delicate collarbone. More importantly, those pajamas seemed to be Shen Fu’s, so it was a little bit big on Lin ShuYi. He simply hadn’t worn pajama pants at all, revealing two stick-straight legs.

Shen Fu’s eyes narrowed as he scooted closer, before he suddenly pressed Lin ShuYi against the bathroom door.

Lin ShuYi jumped, but he didn’t show it. He had just figured out that Shen Fu was back as well when he heard Shen Fu open the door softly. Lin ShuYi had decided to simply turn and go into the bathroom. He was still thinking about what Shen Fu was hiding from him and had been doing outside during the past few days, but the moment he saw Shen Fu, his first instinct was to go up and hug him. He was dejected by this thought of his, so Lin ShuYi decided that he might as well not speak. As such, he had stared expressionlessly at Shen Fu, but he hadn’t expected Shen Fu to pounce on him like a dog.

Shen Fu looked a little haggard, his eyes a bit bloodshot. It was clear from the first glance that this was because he hadn’t slept in a long time. His eyelashes were still very long, so long that with each tremor they tickled Lin ShuYi’s heart. Without waiting for Lin ShuYi to finish carefully assessing the person in front of him, Shen Fu kissed him forcefully.

Lips rubbed against each other, and Lin ShuYi felt the air in his lungs lessen and lessen. He felt a bit dizzy, and in the end, he couldn’t resist following his inner heart’s desires. He reached out and hugged the person in front of him.

He didn’t want to act difficult with Shen Fu like a child would. It didn’t matter what Shen Fu was doing that he was hiding from him. He still had to admit that he really did miss him.

Their breathing slowly grew rougher. Shen Fu’s hands were quite large, and they were so hot that it felt as if they were going to burn with fire. They slid inch by inch into Lin ShuYi’s cotton pajamas.

Lin ShuYi’s irritation from the beginning had long since been tossed aside somewhere. Finally, as the two of them kissed, they ended up rolling onto the bed.

It was early yet, so there was still time to do some exercise.

…

Auntie Chen boiled an earthenware pot of fresh porridge. She put the dried shrimps that Shen Fu adored inside, and the fragrant aroma scattered everywhere. Shen Fu had always liked this dish a lot, and she also conveniently heated a few pickled cabbage veggie buns for him. After mixing in a few fresh and tasty pickled vegetables, she waited for Shen Fu to come down and eat.

But she ended up waiting for quite a long while without Shen Fu coming down.

Auntie Chen was getting ready to go upstairs to find him, puzzled, but when she got halfway there, she remembered… never mind, it was better not to go. She should just keep it warm until he had time to come down and eat later.
