CH 47

In the past two days before returning to work.

Shen Wenqiu felt that they were like high school students who would secretly make out while their parents were not at home during the holidays. They didn’t go out anywhere after they got home. As if they secretly tasted forbidden fruits, they always felt giddy and excited. They were expressing their desire towards each other honestly in this unknown place. They desired to touch each other every day, every hour, every moment.

Bathe their love in the quiet sunshine.

The schedule was more or less the same:

8:00am: Wake up, make love, then Lu Yong would make breakfast. He tried to bring the breakfast to the bed and treated him like a child. Lu Yong said he could sit on the bed and eat, but he refused. He got up to wash, got dressed and ate breakfast.

9:30am: They went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables. They met someone walking the dog in the community. Lu Yong said that the dog Shen Wenqiu rescued before was getting better. When will Shen Wenqiu go and bring the dog home?

10:30am: Go home and cook together.

12:00am: Watch TV after lunch.

1:00pm: Go to the study room to read and study. Lu Yong sat beside him and looked at the scientific research materials he couldn’t understand. He found that Lu Yong seemed to have read only a few pages in the past half an hour and also seemed restless. Shen Wenqiu asked, Lu Yong blushed and wanted to kiss him. He didn’t know what happened and it suddenly became a love making session in the study.

4:30pm: He woke up. He felt hungry. Lu Yong made fried rice with the leftovers from noon.

5:00pm: He asked Lu Yong at the dinner table, if he was free. If so, they would pick up the dog today. Lu Yong hesitated for a moment, refused and said that he would go another day. These two days, he only wanted the world to have the two of them. If there were dogs running around, he would be embarrassed, right? And it’s also annoying.

6:00pm: He finished up some housework, locked Lu Yong outside and studied in the study for three hours.

9:00pm: He washed up, went to Lu Yong’s bedroom, made love and slept.

After doing it many times, Shen Wenqiu was no longer as shy and restrained as he was at the beginning. He would bluntly tell Lu Yong that he was hurt and Lu Yong would take note to improve. Two people carefully and cherishingly felt, learnt and embraced each other with endless enthusiasm.

Anyway, there was no comparison. They felt good about themselves and felt that they had made a lot of progress.

But Shen Wenqiu still felt like he was in a dream.

There was no need to do anything, no pressure. He was just being ardently loved by Lu Yong.

Shen Wenqiu always felt that he liked Lu Yong more. He really, really liked him. He thought every word Lu Yong said was so cute. In the past, he also thought that Lu Yong was the most handsome in the world in his mind, but now he had added another feeling that was different from others.

He liked that Lu Yong wore a mechanical arm and did so by himself. When he was stroked by a prosthetic limb, he always had the illusion that his soul was also being touched, as he trembled with excitement.

He liked Lu Yong’s kisses. Every time Lu Yong told him that this time he would be gentle. In the end, he would be unable to control his strength, leaving deep and light traces. However, later Lu Yong would regretfully apologise to him. But the next time, he was still doing the same. In fact, he wasn’t really angry. Lu Yong thought he was just having a good temper.

He liked Lu Yong’s unabashed desire for his body and didn’t mind no matter how much Lu Yong did it because he had nothing now, only this not-so-young and beautiful body seemed to have some value. The more Lu Yong liked it, the more he could feel that he still had a little value and was needed. Lu Yong made him really feel that he was loved, and the dry soul was replenished little by little.

So as long as Lu Yong wanted, he would not refuse. Anyway, he was very happy.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Almost all spent in ridiculous things. Day after day, it felt like they were in a carnival. As if they were crazily trying to make up for a decade of late love in one breath.

Not to mention that Lu Yong was so obedient and honest, Shen Wenqiu had never been so presumptuous and reckless. He felt ashamed at first. But slowly he let it go. It was only natural to do happy things with a lover.

Actually, it was time to go back to work. Lu Yong kissed him and said reluctantly, “I really want to stay at home.”

Shen Wenqiu thought it was funny, was this the king who does not want to go to court early? Instead, Shen Wenqiu said, “We have to go to work. Stop making trouble.”

So he got up and went to the bathroom to brush their teeth together.

Shen Wenqiu saw that Lu Yong had accidentally squeezed too much toothpaste. It overflowed from the edge and was about to fall. He took his toothbrush to pick it up and rubbed away half of the toothpaste, which was just right and enough.

Lu Yong blushed as he looked at him.

They finished washing up.

Lu Yong stared at him, wanting to say something but didn’t. Shen Wenqiu was full of sweetness, and he leaned in to kiss him on the mouth, “Now that the mouth is fragrant, it’s time to kiss.”

Lu Yong kissed him back.

It was not because of lust, it was just that he was full of love and with a little movement, it would overflow a little. So he always wanted to do something, kiss, touch, hold hands.

But there was one thing that worried Shen Wenqiu.

Ever since they started to make love, Lu Yong had always had an uncontrollable and impatient attitude. Would it still be the case when he went to the company? After all, they stayed together from morning to night. Their company was large and did not have many people, so no one would suddenly come over to disturb the president’s office.

What if Lu Yong proposed to do it? Should he agree or politely decline?

He thought about it all the way and couldn’t come up with a solution.

Then they reached the office.

This was the first time they faced their colleagues since they were in love. Shen Wenqiu still hadn’t collected his emotions yet. Lu Yong parked the car and unbuckled his seat belt. Shen Wenqiu was still sitting in the car seat motionless.

Lu Yong saw him with a solemn face, “What’s the matter?”

Shen Wenqiu said, “Although I know that someone like me who is inexperienced and has a wrong profession enters the company, will definitely be told behind his back that he went through the back door. But now that I have really gone through the back door, I have a complex emotion.”

Lu Yong thought to himself, ‘There were even people who had long guessed that I have a close relationship with you.’

Shen Wenqiu’s face was filled with worry. In the dim light of the underground garage, there was a kind of loneliness and cuteness to him.

Lu Yong couldn’t help but lean in and kiss him to make him come back to his senses

Shen Wenqiu really came back to his senses, with a disapproving expression of ‘I knew you would mess around’. He then said, “Let’s not come out of the closet. Keep a distance when you are in the company.”

Lu Yong was stunned for a moment. He thought it was Shen Wenqiu who didn’t want to be known. Thus, he agreed to anything Shen Wenqiu said: “Okay.”

Coincidentally,

they met Teacher Ding in the elevator again.

Shen Wenqiu got out of the elevator first.

Lu Yong was two steps behind. He felt his phone vibrate and he received a message from Ding Nian: [Old Lu, there are already many people in the research room secretly discussing whether you guys are in a relationship or not?]

[It’s confirmed, right? I feel that your distracted symptoms are gone.]

Lu Yong stared at the message for several seconds. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but want to rise.

He had a feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moonlight. He raised his eyebrows and replied: [Yes.]

Ding Nian: [Congratulations]

After thinking for a while, he replied, [But please keep it a secret first. He is a very shy and reserved person, and he doesn’t want to come out publicly for the time being.]

Ding Nian: [Okay, I would be tight-lipped, but I can’t guarantee that others won’t see it.]

Love was like a sneeze that couldn’t be hidden.

Lu Yong also didn’t want to whisper sweet nothings to one another in the company, and he could still distinguish between public and private. In fact, he planned not to get close to Shen Wenqiu during the working day, so he was extra indulgent earlier. He seemed to put on a mask like switching to work mode and becoming extremely calm and serious. They were like an ordinary boss and subordinate in the company, without any personal feelings. After resting for a few days, a lot of work piled up. Lu Yong concentrated and was very efficient. He even spent two hours in the research room.

A day passed like this.

Shen Wenqiu thought, ‘did I think too much?’ Was it because he was more shameless? Or have they done too much in the past two days, and his kidneys couldn’t handle it anymore?

On the way home, Lu Yong said innocently, “I thought about it, and I think that we should still at least have a formal meal. I booked a restaurant. How about we go to eat tomorrow?”

Shen Wenqiu nodded, “Okay.”

Shen Wenqiu couldn’t help but think about how respectful towards each other they were today at the company. He was guessing, was it because Lu Yong didn’t want to be seen by the company’s people and show their intimate relationship? To separate personal life and work? Although he didn’t want too much publicity, and being in love was their private business… but he couldn’t help thinking too much.

Lu Yong said, “After dragging for days, let’s go pick up the dog.”

The dog stayed in the hospital for three or four months because of the treatment of ascites. They went many times during it’s stay there. So once they entered the door, they didn’t need to report the pet’s name. The veterinarian and assistant in the store recognized them all at once, “Pidan’s dad is here, eh?”

Lu Yong named the small Pekingese ‘Pidan1’, and when the small Pekingese saw him, he wagged his tail and barked happily.

Shen Wenqiu still remembered that when he first saw the little guy, he was very skinny as even his skeletal bones could be seen, but his stomach was strangely swollen. His hair was dirty and knotted, like a blanket that had not been washed for a long time. His eyes were showing uneasiness. He showed his teeth at the sight of people, making people think that he might die in a dirty and cold corner at night.

Now, because the disease has been cured, and he just took a beauty bath in the afternoon, its trimmed soft snow-white fur, petite and cute body, two round black eyes were moist and bright. It had become much more gentle and calm. It looked at them through the cage fence, and they felt like they were looking at two different dogs.

Lu Yong hugged the puppy lovingly in his arms.

Shen Wenqiu wanted to reach out and touch it. He said, “It’s cute after washing it.”

Lu Yong asked, “Do you want to touch it?”

Shen Wenqiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “Not for now. I’m afraid he will bite me. He likes you, but he doesn’t like me.”

When he left, the clerk said goodbye to him warmly, “Goodbye, Pidan’s dad.”

“Goodbye.” Lu Yong said, glanced at the dog in his arms, then at Shen Wenqiu, and began to blush.

Shen Wenqiu smiled and asked, “Why are you blushing?”

Lu Yong laughed and told the truth honestly, “I feel as if we picked up a baby and raised it together. We are all it’s fathers.”

‘Damn it’, Shen Wenqiu thought to himself, ‘this big black fool is sometimes too good at flirting.’

Lu Yong had already prepared everything for raising a dog. Such as a kennel, dog bowl, dog collar, dog clothes and a dog hair comb.

Now that the puppy was finally brought back, Shen Wenqiu looked at his posture. It was a bit like raising a child.

But it was good to have a dog. The dog was so cute, and if you treated him well, he would treat you well. It was much more worry-free than a human baby.

Lu Yong said, “The first meal at home, you come and feed him. Feed him more, touch him, and he will like you.”

The little dog glanced at him and did not refuse his petting. Shen Wenqiu felt a touch of joy in his heart.

The two of them squatted together to pet the dog, pet and pet.

The first night back to work was very peaceful.

Lu Yong didn’t do anything inappropriate until he went to bed. Instead, it made Shen Wenqiu, who wanted to calm down and read, uneasy.

‘Tired of this body so quickly?’

But Lu Yong didn’t mention it, he was embarrassed to be too proactive.

While Lu Yong was restrained himself, Shen Wenqiu still had to go to work. The last time he did it recklessly during working days, he observed carefully and noticed that it made Shen Wenqiu tired. He couldn’t do such an inconsiderate thing. He had to abstain from his lust until the weekend before he dared to ask Shen Wenqiu if he could get permission to be close.

Shen Wenqiu went to wash in confusion. After brushing his teeth, the puppy ran past him and jumped into Lu Yong’s room. Shen Wenqiu took a look at him. The puppy tried to jump on the bed to sleep together but was chased out by Lu Yong to go down.

Lu Yong didn’t notice him outside the door, so he patiently and gently taught the puppy, “No, my bed is only for your other dad.”

Shen Wenqiu felt sweetened.

He wanted to ask Lu Yong if he wanted help with dismantling the prosthesis, but his phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Shen Wenqiu picked up the phone, “Hello? Who are you?”

A somewhat familiar male voice sounded, “Shen Wenqiu? Is this Shen Wenqiu? Finally I got in touch with you!”

Pidan is century egg.
