Chapter 25.2

Is Chen Xu gay? Does he have a crush on Si Yichen’s father?

This speculation made Si Yichen’s scalp numb, and it also made his blood flow in excitement. If it was true, it meant that he had caught Chen Xu’s fatal weakness. If a person like his father who is cold and indifferent knows that the child he loves actually has that kind of thought towards him, would he continue to pamper Chen Xu?

Certainly not! Not only will he stop pampering, but Si Yichen’s father will definitely feel sick, and he might drive Chen Xu out of Si’s family. 

These conclusions made Si Yichen more and more excited. He quickly took the picture with his mobile phone, covered it with the cloth hastily, and then left quietly.

Si Yichen has made up his mind. Even if Chen Xu is not really in love with his father, and might only be painting his father from the perspective of artistic creation, this does not mean that Si Yichen cannot make this matter true. As long as he wants to, he can put this charge on Chen Xu.

A few days later, Uncle Zhong came in with two identical admission notices. Only then did Si Yichen realise that Chen Xu had also enrolled in A university, and he was also majoring in economics like him.

“You’re fucking sick! Are you deliberately trying to disgust me?” Si Yichen roared as he grabbed Chen Xu’s collar, eyes red from his anger.

“Young master Chen, please don’t be like this.” Uncle Zhong stepped forward to persuade Si Yichen to let go, but Si Yichen couldn’t hear him at all. He was confident that since Chen Xu’s score was so high he would not stay in the province. But contrary to his speculation, Chen Xu is going to study in the same place as him. The same university, the same major, it’s to humiliate him, to compete with him, to steal the attention of his father and the position of the heir.

Even when Si Yichen lifted him by the collar, Chen Xu didn’t panic at all. He stared at Si Yichen coldly and said, “Why? You enrolled in A university. If you can do it, why can’t I do the same?”

Of course he is not questioning Chen Xu’s ability, but Chen Xu with a high score enrolled in A university. If it is not to block his way, Si Yichen couldn’t think of a second reason.

“You! Chen Xu, you are very good. Don’t think that you can be arrogant because of your result. You were inferior to me in the past, and you will not be able to go beyond me in the future. I will make you regret your choice today.” Si Yichen is talking not only about grades, but it’s also a mock warning to Chen Xu. No matter what, Chen Xu will never get past Si Jia and he will surely regret fighting against him. 

Chen Xu patted the collar that was ripped apart by Si Yichen, glanced at him lightly and said, “Let’s go and see.”

His attitude is really arrogant and annoying, making Si Yichen beat his chest and stomp his feet, he can’t wait to peel off his skin. But in front of others, Si Yichen didn’t dare to hit him anymore. After all, he has learned from the last banquet, Si Yi Chen’s bank card is still frozen.

“A university?” Si Ye stopped and frowned. He remembered that in his previous life, Chen Xu had missed the Academy of Fine Arts, the top art school in the country, and that Chen Xu also took the art exam, which also meant that Chen Xu  had long planned to pursue art.

“What major?”

Uncle Zhong stepped forward and replied: “The two young masters are both majoring in economics.”

This answer made Si Ye’s brows furrow even tighter, “I see.”

Then he took out his cell phone and made a call to the secretary and asked the secretary to cancel his schedule for the next night. He had to come back early and have a talk with Chen Xu.

Si Ye can easily guess the reason for Chen Xu’s action. It is nothing more than trying to retaliate against Si Yichen and gaining his favour. Chen Xu is very clever. He can easily learn what he wants to learn. He can do well in economics, but he still hopes that Chen Xu can follow his inner thoughts and do what he wants to do.

It’s not effective to waste a rebirth on small fries. As for Si Yichen, and those who have hurt Chen Xu, he will solve them for Chen Xu.

When Chen Xu saw Si Ye the next night, he suddenly realised that he seemed to have not seen Si Ye for some days.

“Uncle Si, are you busy lately?” Chen Xu took the apple and the knife and peeled it skillfully.

Si Ye replied somewhat perfunctorily: “The company has had a lot of business recently, and I haven’t had time to accompany you for a while.”

“I didn’t mean that.” Chen Xu suddenly felt that he had become a child who wanted a parent to accompany him, his face a little hot.

The corners of Si Ye’s lips rose slightly. He did not answer his words, but his eyes were conniving and doting.

After the apple was cut, Chen Xu handed the apple to Si Ye. Si Ye shook his head and said, “I don’t like apples. You can eat them yourself.”

Chen Xu paused and retracted his hand, took a bite of the crispy apple, “Very sweet.”

The refreshing sweetness of apples permeated his mouth, Chen Xu unconsciously licked the juice on his lips. His lips were light pink, neither too dark nor too pale, and the lower lip was a bit fleshy. It’s really adorable.

Si Ye stared at Chen Xu with a deep gaze, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the wrist of Chen Xu’s hand holding the apple, and pulled it to his side, “I’ll take a bite.”

Before Chen Xu knew what Si Ye was doing, Si Ye took a bite of the apple in his hand. Who knows if it was a coincidence but Si Ye’s bite happened to be right next to where Chen Xu had just bitten, suddenly his neck and ears were red, and he couldn’t resist Si Ye’s teasing him like this.

“It’s so sweet.”

Si Ye’s low and intoxicating voice with a slight hint of smile makes Chen Xu, who dared not look up, completely flustered.

Chen Xu, who had never been in love, is like a bronze player having an encounter with a golden emperor** and was defeated. 

Chen Xu thought that Si Ye had been studying abroad before and therefore he must have a lot of experience in romantic affairs, otherwise, how could he be so proficient.

But he is obviously Si Ye’s junior¹, what would Si Ye tease him for?

Similarly, Si Ye, who has never been in love, didn’t know that he had become a veteran of love in Chen Xu’s heart. He focused on Chen Xu, who was red from his face to his ears, he sighed and suppressed the urge to kiss him. How could his boy be this cute?

“Wasn’t Uncle Si not eating it?” Chen Xu muttered.

Si Ye propped his chin with one hand and said, “If you say it’s sweet, I also want to taste it.”

Chen Xu tightened his lips and didn’t speak. He remembered that Si Ye has a bit of a cleanliness habit. When eating at a table during Chinese New Year, everyone at the table had to use public chopsticks to pick up dishes.

The boy was a bit amused. Si Ye and Chen Xu talked about business, “I heard Uncle Zhong said that you enrolled in A university?”

“Yeah.” Chen Xu nodded, unexpectedly Si Ye would talk to him about this matter.

Si Ye changed his sitting position and took a sip of coffee from the cup in front of him, “You shouldn’t have picked the ace major of university A.”

“The ace major in A university is good.” Chen Xu is not perfunctory with Si Ye. He went to the ace major of A university, and he didn’t pick the university out of love like the student in the neighbouring class. Naturally he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his choice.

“Didn’t you take the art exam? Why do you suddenly want to study economics?” Si Ye leaned forward, and Chen Xu felt a sense of oppression, but he did not move, and still sat calmly.

Chen Xu’s eyes were dark and bright. He stared at Si Ye quietly, and said seriously: “I want to make Uncle Si’s work easier in the future.”

His answer made Si Ye lift his lips and asked him with interest, “Do you really want to?”

Chen Xu nodded, “Yeah.”

The smile on the corners of Si Ye’s lips changed to a grin. He stared at Chen Xu and whispered, “Little liar.”

Chen Xu pursed his lips and lowered his eyelashes. He is not actually lying to Si Ye. If he wants to take away Si Yichen’s everything, then he has to give up the easy and laid back life from before and learn a profession he hasn’t touched yet. To lay the foundation for future entry into Si company, he not only had to study this major, but he had to study hard.

Although he hates Si Yichen, in fact, Si Yichen does have an advantage over him in this respect. In these years, Si Ye has personally taught Si Yichen in this area. Si Yichen’s character is not very good, but he has to admit that Si Yichen’s learning ability is pretty good.

Seeing Chen Xu fall into silence, Si Ye got up and walked to Chen Xu’s side, touched his soft black hair, and told him: “You always only need to do what makes you happy, and don’t wrong yourself for others.”

This is not the first time Si Ye said such caring words to Chen Xu. Chen Xu was very touched, but his rationality made him understand that relying on others is not feasible. Si Ye’s favour would be taken back without knowing when he could ask for it again. He can’t completely rely on Si Ye to achieve his goals.

Chen Xu raised his head, and his black bright eyes were directly looking at Si Ye, like a little puppy, “Uncle Si, will you always dote on me?”

Si Ye gently swept away the messy hair on his forehead, lowered his head and kissed his forehead preciously, “Yes.”

This kiss made Chen Xu feel the love from the heart to the whole body and he was filled with warmth. When he was a child, he also envied when his parents told his sister bedtime stories every night, and then tenderly kissed her forehead and their eyes would be full of love, which he had never experienced before. After many years, he actually felt this kind of love from another person.

“Can I believe this?” Chen Xu looked at Si Ye cautiously, like a fawn.

Si Ye’s heart was full of pity. He held Chen Xu’s face, pressed their forehead together, and told him softly: “You can always trust me and rely on me.”

Chen Xu looked at Si Ye seriously. After a while, he raised his hand to embrace Si Ye’s neck and rubbed his face against Si Ye’s face, “Okay.”

Si Ye took his lean waist and hugged him into his arms. Chen Xu’s waist was very thin. Si Ye even had the illusion that he could embrace it with one hand. He missed Chen Xu in the previous life. He would never let go of him in this life.

He bowed his head and kissed Chen Xu’s hair, and his movements were so light that Chen Xu didn’t notice it at all.

After seeing Si Ye that night, Chen Xu didn’t see Si Ye again. Si Ye seemed to be very busy. If it weren’t for the sound of the car coming back in the middle of the night, Chen Xu would have even suspected that Si Ye had never been home.

He was idle at home, so he opened Weibo and looked up a few business articles. When he checked Weibo, he found that many people were saying that Si company has internal conflict, and the stock price has fallen by several percent. Is this mountain finally going to fall?

However, most of them are just melon eater² joining in the fun. They don’t know exactly what happened to Si company.

Thinking of Si Ye, who recently went out early and returned late, Chen Xu’s expression after opening Weibo gradually became unpleasant. Si Ye did not disclose such a big thing to him.

No, he was just a child in Si Ye’s eyes, and it was useless to tell him this; except to make him panic, he would be of no help.

Chen Xu browsed all relevant news on the Internet, and finally concluded that Si Ye should be short of money at the moment.

He immediately got up and searched for his bank card, and hurried out with his bag on his back. He usually has no hobby of buying luxury goods. Most of the annual New Year’s red packet money was saved. In addition, he had worked various part-time jobs in the past few years. There should still be a lot of money in total. Although it may be just a drop in the bucket for Si Ye, it can be of a little help.

In the middle of the night, the sound of a car driving in made Chen Xu abruptly sit up from the bed. He has been fighting his sleepiness until now, he finally waited for Si Ye to come back. If it was later, he might have fallen asleep.

Chen Xu put on slippers and a coat, and rushed out with the card.

It was late at night, and most of the people in the house were already asleep. Chen Xu ran out to meet Si Ye who was walking up the stairs.

“Why haven’t you slept yet?” Si Ye raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

“I have something to say to Uncle Si.” Chen Xu’s hair was a bit messy, and a few strands were turned up from sleep. His face glowed under the light, looking cute and fresh.

Si Ye’s heart was softened, and he stretched out his hand to cover Chen Xu’s thin shoulders, “Let’s go to the study and we can talk.”

Chen Xu didn’t feel that anything was wrong, and let Si Ye embrace him and followed him upstairs.

Uncle Zhong who followed finally realised that his master’s attitude towards Young Master Xu was not like he wanted Young Master Xu to replace Young Master Chen, but rather like he wanted Young Master Xu to be his wife.

But Young Master Xu is only eighteen years old, and he is like the adopted son of the Si family. How can he be a wife? Did he see it wrong because of his old eyes?

Uncle Zhong fell into self-doubt.

Entering the study, Si Ye asked Uncle Zhong to bring a cup of coffee and some snacks, and Chen Xu interrupted Si Ye and asked Uncle Zhong not to deliver coffee or milk.

“Uncle Si, you should take a good rest, your eyes are all red.” When Chen Xu saw Si Ye like this, a trace of distress rose in his chest.

Everyone regards Si Ye as an omnipotent super being. They fear Si Ye, envy Si Ye, and even hate Si Ye. No one loves Si Ye.

Probably no one would think that Si Ye would be distressed and need to be cared for. A person as powerful as Si Ye should of course behave like a robot without a trace of emotion.

The Chen Xu at this time overlapped with the Chen Xu of the night that conquered Si Ye’s heartbeat, and the old memories came rushing in like a flood.

It was one night after Chen Xu came back from the National Day after he went to university. Something happened to the company. Si Ye was so busy dealing with it and when he finally settled the matter, not only did his mother not say anything good to him, but instead scolded him. He is too much, too cold-blooded and ruthless, and actually drove the old people out of the company. Those people were all his father’s friends. Si Ye’s move was to beat his father in the face after he lay in grave for a long time.

But if Si Ye didn’t do that, it would be him who was waiting to be kicked out. After his mother scolded him severely, she told him that she didn’t want to see him for the time being, and told him not to go to her villa.

Si Ye was uncomfortable. He sat alone in the living room drinking in the middle of the night. He happened to be seen by Chen Xu, who woke up to drink water. When Chen Xu saw him, he did not tremblingly greet him and left, unexpectedly to Si Ye he walked over and took a wine glass to drink with him.

“It’s boring to drink alone, I’ll drink with you.”

The smile on Chen Xu’s face can illuminate the night and also shine into Si Ye’s heart.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Xu got upstairs, and before leaving, he pulled Si Ye’s sleeve and told him to pay attention to his body and rest early.

It’s obviously just a few words that could not be simpler, but it’s the first time someone had said those words to Si Ye.

What happened that night was just the beginning, and Si Ye began to pay more attention to Chen Xu unconsciously. When you start to care about someone, that’s when love begins.

From the age of eighteen to twenty-two, Si Ye kept watching Chen Xu quietly. When his feelings began to change, he didn’t even know it. When he noticed it, he realised that his love is already deeply rooted.

“Uncle Si?” Chen Xu’s voice pulled Si Ye’s thoughts back to reality.

“Sorry, I was lost in thought for a while, what did you say?” Si Ye looked into Chen Xu’s eyes and asked.

Chen Xu blinked and asked him: “I saw it on the Internet today. Is the company in trouble?”

“It’s not a big problem, you don’t have to worry, it will be resolved soon.” Si Ye comforted him.

The more Si Ye said, the more Chen Xu was sure that Si Ye was facing a huge problem. He took a bank card out of his pocket and put it in front of Si Ye, and said seriously: “There is money I saved, although it’s not much, but I hope I can help you a little bit.”

“Is this all of your savings?” Si Ye suppressed the turbulent feelings in his chest, pretending to be calm.

Chen Xu nodded and said: “Well, the New Year’s money, and some of the money I earned part-time.”

“You have given me all your belongings, aren’t you afraid I can’t afford to repay?”

“No need to pay back.” Chen Xu stood in front of Si Ye, eyes pure and bright.

Si Ye could no longer help but stretch out his hand to him, pull the person into his arms, and hold Chen Xu’s waist, “I am really short of money. I need a lot of money. Only you can help me get this money. Do you want to help me?”
