Chapter 2

Chen Xu’s mind seemed to have a pot of boiling water bubbling, and he didn’t know how he could sit on the terrace with Si Ye.

“Drink some water.” Si Ye gave Chen Xu a glass of warm water. The glass was transparent, and the water in the glass was still steaming.

“Thank you Uncle Si.” Chen Xu took the glass cautiously, but couldn’t look away from Si Ye’s hand. Si Ye’s hands were white and slender, with distinct joints, and his nails were trimmed clean and neat. They were very suitable for hand models. It is the kind of hand that people who study fine arts will like.

After drinking a glass of warm water, the enthusiasm on Chen Xu’s body did not subside, his thoughts gradually became uncontrollable, and his gaze towards Si Ye gradually became darker.

“Knock, knock.” There was a knock on the door, and a maid brought up a cake. The cake can basically be finished by one person. It is not big and not particularly exquisite. It can’t be compared to the big cake.

But Chen Xu was still flattered, feeling incredible.

“For me?” Chen Xu pointed to the little cake in front of him, and asked Si Ye in surprise.

Si Ye sat opposite him and calmly nodded, “Yeah.”

Chen Xu couldn’t tell how he felt right now. This was the first time someone gave him a cake, a cake that belonged to him alone. It was not the light of Si Yichen, nor Si Yichen’s generous share of his cake.

While Chen Xu was still immersed in surprise and emotion, Si Ye suddenly inserted two candles in, took out a lighter, and lit the candles.

After doing this series of actions, he gave Chen Xu a look, “Make a wish, kid.”

His actions and words were so relaxed that Chen Xu couldn’t react. In fact, his birthday was on June 1st, Children’s Day, which had already passed, but at that time he and Si Yichen were both preparing for the battle of the college entrance examination, so the birthday banquet was moved to today.

Will the wish be effective?

It seems that making a wish on the birthday is not effective.

Chen Xu thought gloomily.

The candlelight shone on Chen Xu’s white face, his face flushing red because of the wine, and a pair of peach blossom eyes sparkling with water.

If he can really obtain his birthday wish, then he hopes that in this life he will become the most beloved child of the Si family and get revenge as soon as possible.

Since Si Yichen cared most about Si Ye, he grabbed all Si Ye’s gaze. He could not become Si Ye’s heir, but he would not let Si Yichen successfully become the next Patriarch of the Si family.

“Hoo-” Chen Xu blew out the candle and plunged into darkness for a while.

“What wish did you make?” Si Ye turned on the light on the terrace, and did not know when he walked to Chen Xu’s side.

Chen Xu raised his head and looked at Si Ye, his eyes lost and gradually focused.

He stared at Si Ye without blinking. Si Ye saw that he didn’t speak, but stared at himself blankly, raising his hand to touch his forehead, “It’s a bit hot.”

Si Ye’s palm was slightly cold, which made the hot Chen Xu feel extremely comfortable. He caught Si Ye’s hand that he(Si Ye) wanted to pull away, and bury his face in Si Ye’s palm and rubbed it.

There is a faint perfume smell between the nose, which is very suitable for Si Ye, like the snow on the top of the mountain, clean and raspy.

“Uncle Si…” Chen Xu called out softly, soft and sweet, like a chewed up bonbon.

Si Ye stared at him, his eyes dark and his mood unclear, “Yeah.”

Chen Xu put his head sideways on the palm of his hand, and his watery eyes stared straight at Si Ye, innocent and charming.

The soft touch on the palm of his hand made Si Ye feel a little confused, “Xiaoxu…what did you want me to give you for your birthday this year?”

Probably it was the alcohol, and Chen Xu’s thoughts were a little slow. He paused, thought about it for dozens of seconds, and grinned: “It’s a pen.”

The left hand that fell on the side of the trousers, unconsciously clenched into a fist, swelled with blue veins, and the whole arm was shaking.

Si Ye held his breath and watched Chen Xu quietly. His face that was always cold and indifferent all year round slowly burst into a smile, as if the ice and snow melted and the spring blossoms.

Chen Xu, who had been watching Si Ye, was stunned. He was sent to Si’s house by his parents from the age of twelve. Apart from sneers on Si Ye’s face, he had almost never seen him smile like this.

He suddenly realized that while he always felt that Si Ye was old-fashioned, he also always felt that Si Ye was very good-looking.

.

“Uncle Si.” Chen Xu straightened up and looked at Si Ye, his eyes shining like stars in the sky.

“Yeah.” Si Ye’s expression at this time was almost gentle.

“Give me a birthday present.”

Si Ye was watched intently by him, his eyes were like little kitten, which made him unwilling to refuse any request from him, “What do you want?”

Chen Xu’s body leaned forward, his rosy lips parted and closed: “You.”

The smile on Si Ye’s face suddenly eased up. He lowered his head and swiped his thumb across Chen’s lips, “Kid, do you know what you are talking about?”

Chen Xu’s slightly parted lips gently wrapped Si Ye’s fingers, and his eyes were clean and pure, like bright stars off the beaten track.

“Uncle Si, spoil me, okay?”

A drop of sweat slipped from Si Ye’s forehead. He never knew that this kid was tempting and seducing people, and it was killing him.

“Greedy kid.”

“If you want a gift, get it yourself.”

Chen Xu looked at Si Ye in confusion, with a frustrated look on his face, as if he didn’t know what to do.

He was only eighteen years old, still growing, and his 1.78-meter figure was slightly thin and inexperienced. He stumbled into Si Ye’s arms and was enveloped by Si Ye’s tall and strong body. Chen Xu was overwhelmed by the heat. He only wore a thin shirt. The custom-made shirt outlined his beautiful shoulders and backs vividly. When the night breeze blew, the hem of his shirt was blown up, and a white waist flashed by.

“The second time.” Si Ye buckled his waist and said in a low voice.

Chen Xu looked at Si Ye in confusion, Si Ye lowered his head and met his gaze, “You throw yourself in my arms for the second time tonight.”

This explanation made Chen Xu’s flushed face even redder.

“I… It’s not my intention.” Even the soft childish retort was adorable.

Si Ye approached him, his gaze grabbed Chen Xu’s red eyes, “Don’t you want a gift?”

Chen Xu subconsciously grasped his arm, calmed his chin, and looked up at Si Ye. His slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly. After a short stalemate, he closed his eyes abruptly and give a probing kiss on Si Ye’s lips.

After the kiss, Chen Xu turned his head to the side, and he didn’t seem to taste any special taste.

Si Ye suddenly put his arms around Chen Xu’s waist, put him on the swing chair, and leaned down, “This is a kiss.”

Before Chen Xu could think about what Si Ye meant, he was forcibly dragged by Si Ye and plunged into a world he had never been to before. He was soft and numb. His soul and body seemed no longer his anymore. He feel as if he’s walking on the clouds, never going down.

He didn’t even know when he started, he wrapped himself on Si Ye like an octopus.

When Si Ye let go of Chen Xu, the little guy was actually asleep, his lips were shiny, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

Si Ye put a pen into the pocket of Chen Xu’s shirt pocket, and kissed his brow gently, “Happy birthday, welcome home, my little Xu.”

He carried Chen Xu into the room, Si Ye pulled up the quilt for him, and finally remembered his cell phone, the screen that turned on and off, repeating dozens of times.

“Brother, you are finally willing to answer the phone!” Mo Hang thought he would not hear Si Ye’s voice tonight.

“Well, what’s the matter?” Si Ye’s voice seemed to be in a good mood, Mo Hang faintly heard a smile?

“You have an affair tonight? You are in such a good mood? Did you just get embraced by a beauty?” Mo Hang speculated, but denied it himself, Si Ye lived like an ascetic monk. Even if he had an affair, he will not be happy, but bored.

Si Ye opened the lid of the wine bottle, and the ice cubes in the glass floated up and down as the wine poured in.

He took a sip of wine, and the strong and rich taste swept his taste buds, reminding him of the wine that he had just tasted from Chen Xu’s mouth. It was sweet and delicious, it should be a sweet wine.

Si Ye snorted and said, “I found a lost child.”

“Fuck! You are such a beast!” Mo Hang did not expect that Si Ye was a closeted pervert.

“Why don’t you think about my sister, she and I are on a video call yesterday still ask me remember to ask you, if y6 will you marry her this year? She can fly back from abroad immediately.” Mo Hang has a sister named Mo Yao, she liked Si Ye when she was young. After her confession was rejected by Si Ye, she would ask Si Ye if he wanted to marry her once a year. Now she’s studying abroad.

“No.” Si Ye still coldly refused.

“Then you have to take a moment, your buddies don’t want to hear you sing behind bars.” Mo Hang was extremely worried about Si Ye’s future.

“It’s okay, I’ll hang up.” The wine in Si Ye’s glass is finished up, and he is about to take a bath and go to sleep.

“No, don’t hang up! The photos you want have been taken, but Si Ye, are you really going to tear your face with Ms. Tao? After all, it’s your mother…” Mo Hang was shocked when he took these photos. He was a family friend with Si’s family. He remembered that when Si Ye’s father was still alive, Si Ye’s parents were very affectionate, and it was hardly possible that Ms. Tao, who was over 50 years old, would do such a thing.

“I’ll look for you tomorrow.” Si Ye didn’t say anything to Mo Hangduo again, hung up the phone and walked into the study.

Chen Xu woke up with a splitting headache, he really shouldn’t drink, and he had a terrible headache after a hangover.

The memory gradually returned, Chen Xu blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hand, remembering that he had returned to the age of eighteen last night, then he beat up Si Yichen for a while, and then Tong Jiaxi handed him a glass of wine, and he opened it again. A bottle of wine, lots of wine to drink.

He was about to go back to his room, thinking about the gift that Si Yichen gave him, but didn’t go back.

After that…he seemed to ran into Uncle Si?

The memory of after is blank, Chen Xu can’t remember even a little bit, and the old problem of forgetting when drunk really can’t be corrected by rebirth.

He lifted the quilt to go and wash up, and suddenly realized that this is not his room, nor is it a guest room.

Where is this place?

Chen Xu opened the door and went out, only to realize that this was actually Si Ye’s room.

Why did he wake up in Si Ye’s room? He slept in Si Ye’s room, what about Si Ye?

With a series of questions, Chen Xu walked downstairs, but didn’t realize a group of people looking for him downstairs. When he appeared, a figure rushed up and punched him in the face, “Chen Xu, you are so **** fucking.” nausea!”
