CH 24

Shen Weixing had originally planned to spend the night at a hotel near Professor Xia’s house and be closer so that coming and going would be more convenient but changed his mind at the last moment. He took Ye Jiuyue to a hotel further away; it having a hot spring wasn’t all that special, it was mainly that this area was closer to downtown, it was more secluded, the scenery was good and it had higher privacy measures. 

This hotel was an upscale chain, all the guests were rich or powerful or both; the hotel regarded celebrities as nothing special and the staff was extremely unperturbed. Facing Shen Weixing, they only politely smiled and went about their work professionally as the two’s room was booked. In addition, the staff very naturally treated Ye Jiuyue as an assistant ——even if he wasn’t his assistant, that didn’t have anything to do with them, after seeing too much of the world you’d care less, even a big boss bringing three ‘assistants’ back to their room in the middle of the night was a common occurrence =。=

Shen Weixing and Ye Jiuyue went into the room, closed the door, threw their arms around each other and continued the things that they hadn’t finished before. 

Before, although that kiss had come randomly, Ye Jiuyue had gotten a little aroused as well. He had always been very honest towards his own bodily desires, once the flame was lit of course they would do it, otherwise, what, hold it in? After all, his idol’s brain processes were strange and out of left field, who knew how long this relationship could keep going, every time they did it was a time won, hehe.

Of course, this time was two times. By the front door hallway and kitchen table was once, and then they moved the battle to the bedroom.

Afterwards, Ye Jiuyue lightly panted and felt that he had been completely squeezed dry. 

Ah, he hadn’t completely recovered from his illness.  

Ye Jiuyue suddenly remembered this, and ducked away from Shen Weixing’s mouth that was coming in for a kiss. He slowly brought back old grudges. “Weren’t you afraid of getting infected?”

Shen Weixing was very unhappy after being avoided. “Huh? I’ve never said that.”

“You said it last night.” Ye Jiuyue kindly reminded him. 

“Why are you so petty? It’s already been so long since I said that, are you going to hold a grudge?” Shen Weixing said, “And how come I don’t remember anymore? You made that up, didn’t you? How did I offend you again this time?” 

Ye Jiuyue：“……”

Shen Weixing saw that he wasn’t saying anything anymore, was very pleased and as desired, cupped his face and gave him a kiss on the lips. After he was done, he had to give him another kiss, then after this second kiss, he still wanted to give him a third kiss.  

Ye Jiuyue was’s a drug or something. Shen Weixing clicked his tongue in his mind.

Ye Jiuyue kept feeling like something was off, thought about it, then kindly reminded him, “You planned to go gift shopping this afternoon.”

Shen Weixing wasn’t happy at this. “Can you not change your tune immediately after feeling good? Do you take me for a vibrator?”

Ye Jiuyue: “………” 

But isn’t that the truth? Aren’t fuck buddies supposed to be like this? You take me for a fleshlight, I take you as a vibrator, isn’t it supposed to be like this? Ye Jiuyue thought, a little puzzled.

Sigh, young people think too much, they’re prone to being melancholic and sentimental and like to think nonsense.

Thinking of it this way, Shen Weixing’s heart softened further and gave Ye Jiuyue another kiss. He whispered, “You rest some more, we’ll go together, think about what you want to buy, and we’ll buy it together.”

Ye Jiuyue earnestly replied, “I don’t have anything I want to buy.” 

“Buy some clothes and some skin care products.” Shen Weixing seriously thought about what to buy. “Do you want a watch? You don’t have ear piercings, so how about necklaces and bracelets? Shoes? Bookbags?”

“……” Ye Jiuyue dazedly said, at a loss, “Don’t need it.”

Then how about you switch your phone, your phone isn’t that new anymore. And what about your laptop? Ipad? You like to do academics, so how about buying a kindle, it’s better than a phone for eyestrain, you’re already near-sighted. Oh, that’s right, do you want to get a pair of glasses?” Shen Weixing persuaded him step by step. “Isn’t there a saying that goes like this, good tools are essential if you want to do a good job? If you get your learning tools all sorted out, then your learning will be half accomplished.”

Ye Jiuyue：“……” 

Shen Weixing gently asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Ye Jiuyue hesitated for a little while, then under Shen Weixing’s urging he slowly said, “If your new drama role is causing you more pressure, how about you talk a bit about it, I’ll try my hardest to help you?” 

Shen Weixing was startled. “Huh?”

Ye Jiuyue stared at him with a loving, pitying look. “I know the pressure in the entertainment industry is very big, so that’s why recently your emotions have been fast-changing. You also don’t have any bad habits to use to let off steam, if you’re willing, then you can talk to me about it, taking me as a tree hole will make you feel a bit better. No matter what, I’m your fan too.”

Shen Weixing said, “Shut up.”

Seems like Ye Jiuyue doesn’t dare believe that his feelings are being reciprocated by me, that’s why he’s being over-cautious.

Shen Weixing thought with heartache. 

He was feeling complete heartache over Ye Jiuyue, who had his feelings played with by him.

Shameless, too shameless, Shen Weixing, how can you be so shameless!  Shen Weixing bitterly condemned himself, deeply pained.

Ye Jiuyue watched Shen Weixing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed and the look in his eyes that seemed pained and bitter. He was a little worried that he really had been infected by himself, so stretched out a hand and touched Shen Weixing’s forehead to test his temperature. 

Shen Weixing silently stared into Ye Jiuyue’s eyes. His heart hardened and he coldly thought: fine, if I’m shameless then I’m shameless, all men are shameless, ha ha.

Shen Weixing, who was shameless and cold, rested awhile with Ye Jiuyue in his arms. The third time that Ye Jiuyue pushed him away because he thought it was too hot, Shen Weixing switched to wanting to take a shower with Ye Jiuyue in his arms

Although Ye Jiuyue didn’t quite understand his strange actions, he still refused politely. 

Just as Shen Weixing was going to forcefully make the move, the phone that was laying on the bedside table started ringing. He was a little annoyed, brought the phone over and took a look. It was Xia Qiu again.

“Hello?”

Xia Qiu paused for a few seconds then said, “Shen Ge?”

Shen Weixing watched as Ye Jiuyue got out of bed, picked up some clothes from the floor and walked to the bathroom while trying to cover up. Feeling a little better, he couldn’t help but smile. He said, “En, I’m here, what is it?”

“I thought that you were angry just now.” Xia Qiu said.  

“Why would I be angry for no reason?” Shen Weixing asked, “What is it?”

Xia Qiu asked, “Have you arrived yet?”

Shen Weixing replied, “En.”

Theoretically, Shen Weixing could fly over with Xia Qiu, but Xia Qiu still had some scenes that weren’t done filming. Shen Weixing told him to get fewer days off, flying over here tomorrow morning was good, that way he wouldn’t be giving the crew too much trouble.

But since Shen Weixing had come ahead of time,  he could stand in for Xia Qiu and help take care of Professor Xia and Xia Shimu’s birthday party. 

After all, Shen Weixing counted as Professor Xia and his wife’s half-godson. Even if it wasn’t officially recognized, everyone knew it in their hearts. 

Xia Qiu said, “Just now I spoke to my mom for a bit. She said that you haven’t arrived yet, I calculated the time and you should have arrived, so I was a little worried that you might have met with some trouble on the way and wanted to ask about it.”

Shen Weixing said, guiltily, “Ah, it’s alright, I came over to the hotel first. Later I have to pick out a present for Laoshi. We agreed to meet for dinner anyway so that we can confirm the menu and schedule for tomorrow with the hotel while we’re there.” 

“It’s good as long as there’s nothing wrong.” Xia Qiu said, “Then, I won’t bother you any longer.”

“En.” Once Shen Weixing finished speaking he hung up the phone and took a look at the bathroom, which had the sounds of a shower running. Without conscious thought, he frowned.  

How should I settle Ye Jiuyue later tonight? Give him a credit card and tell him to use it however he wants? 

Shen Weixing scratched the corner of his eyebrow, troubled. 

Once Ye Jiuyue had finished taking his shower and came out, Shen Weixing went in and took a shower as well. They changed and went out to the city’s downtown mall.

Professor Xia wasn’t celebrating a 'big birthday'and had already reminded everyone not to be too wasteful, so Shen Weixing didn’t do any of that shallow surface stuff and just picked out a mid-tier, suitable present. The price wasn’t too high nor too cheap; the important thing was the feelings expressed.

After picking out Professor Xia’s gift, Shen Weixing asked Ye Jiuyue, “Have you picked out something to buy yet?”

Ye Jiuyue said, “I don’t have anything to buy, though.” 

“No, you have to buy something.” Shen Weixing said.  

Ye Jiuyue asked, feeling troubled, “Why?”

Because that way it’ll lessen my guilty conscience! Shen Weixing said, “I want to buy something for you, if I don’t buy something I won’t feel good, is this reason alright?”

Ye Jiuyue glanced at him with a strange look in his eyes. 

“What are you looking at?” Shen Weixing warily asked.  

Ye Jiuyue felt that the sense that something was not quite right in his heart was becoming stronger.

He really was too embarrassed to ask Shen Weixing if he’d fallen in love with him. What if he had been overthinking and reading into it too much, then that would be so awkward ah. He and Shen Weixing were two people who would have originally never interacted, logically, it would probably be pretty unlikely for Shen Weixing to just randomly fall for him, right? 

Ye Jiuyue didn’t want to be self-deprecating either, it was just…the thing about feelings, it couldn’t be that they just came out of nowhere right? Before, he liked Sui Dong; that was because Sui Dong was handsome. And the reason why Sui Dong liked him, was probably because he was easy to bully….but what reason would Shen Weixing have to like him? Because his grades were good? Because of feelings that came from fucking?

Ye Jiuyue didn’t believe in feelings that came from fucking.  

He didn’t have any grievances or hatred towards his biological father and mother. It was just that after he knew his own background, from a logical, detached viewpoint, he guessed and inferred about his biological parents. He felt that there was a big possibility that they were a young man and young woman who had come together because of physical desires but hadn’t been planning to be serious, so in the end, he, the accidental byproduct, was abandoned.

Of course, Ye Jiuyue and Shen Weixing wouldn’t produce an unexpected offspring, he simply didn’t believe that a relationship that had started in this way would be stable.

He could understand this sort of mistaken feeling that arose in this sort of situation, after all, he felt very good as well, so that’s why he did it again and again with Shen Weixing. However, this was just a way of resolving physical needs.

Ye Jiuyue hadn’t thought about it before and didn’t think they would become something more than fuck-buddies.  

If Shen Weixing developed this sort of mistaken feeling, he felt that, as the other party, he had a duty to wake Shen Weixing up. After all, being fuck-buddies, none of them had suffered any losses in their relationship. Everyone was just getting what they wanted, from a certain point of view, they could even count as friends. No matter what, they had some feelings of friendship.

The author has something to say:

Weixing: Who the hell wants to be your friend.

Weixing: Shut up. 

Weixing: Fuck?

Ye Jiuyue: nice and earnest.jpg

Rinrin: So, so whipped, but so, so unaware. Also, get ready to want to smack  next chapter.
