Chapter 84: Pick Up My Husband
Jin Yang is a person who cares about his reputation, but he is not always like that. In fact, occasionally indulging oneself is not impossible. Besides, he is not doing anything illegal or immoral now. It’s just him and his partner, um… although it’s a bit shameful, but…
“I can give it a try.”
After hearing the response, Zhou Mushi stiffened. He thought that given Jin Yang’s personality, he should reply with “Don’t be silly, go to sleep.” How come he could agree to try it?
He accidentally lit the fire of temptation!
“No, it’s not a good idea.” Zhou Mushi hesitantly resisted.
If he didn’t have that alluring gaze before, he could have made excuses, but now his current state is obviously a mix of resistance and willingness.
“Mushi” Jin Yang lowered his voice and called out to him.
Zhou Mushi trembled suddenly, he couldn’t resist it when Jin Yang called him that way.
When it comes to their little romantic games, one cannot help but praise Jin Yang’s ability to switch from being serious during the day to a seductive fairy at night. His low, husky voice lingers by the ear, penetrated into the heart, and turns into a sweet, soft layer of sugar.
“Do you miss me?” Jin Yang asks seriously.
Look at this old hooligan, instead of saying things like ‘I miss you’, he has to ask a rhetorical-question.
Zhou Mushi’s face turned as pink as the peach on the table next to him, sparkling with a little transparency.
He retorted, “Didn’t you just leave a few hours ago?”
Jin Yang simply smiled and unbuttoned a button on his shirt.
He was actually a bit stingy with his smiles, besides smiling during work situations, the people who could make him smile the most were only Zhou Mushi and the children in the orphanage.
“You, you, why unbutton?” Zhou Mushi said.
Jin Yang’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “Then you come and do it.”
“I… don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
“Be good, unbuckle your belt,” said Jin Yang taking off his coat and sitting on the hotel bed.
By some coincidence, the decoration of the hotel where Jin Yang stayed on this business trip was similar to the hotel they rented together. Especially the two large white beds. Seeing each other through the phone screen was almost like seeing each other in another room.
While reluctantly speaking, Zhou Mushi also seemed like a well-behaved student seduced by rebellious student, half-kneeling on the soft bed, and his fingers slowly circling around the belt.
At this moment, he thought of the poem he had learned before: “As my waistband loosens, I never regret; for the sake of love, I am willing to be worn out.”1 The phrase “衣带渐宽终不悔,为伊消得人憔悴” is a line from a poem by the Tang dynasty poet, Du Fu.
The poem expresses the poet’s devotion to his wife and his willingness to endure hardships for the sake of love. The phrase has become a common expression in Chinese culture to describe the idea of sacrificing for love, and it is often used in literature and everyday conversations.
It had only been a few hours since they last saw each other, the waistband wasn’t any looser, and the person wasn’t any worn out, but it seemed that they had become a bit haggard from missing a man.
The waistband was loose but not completely undone, hanging half off the body and partially covering the areas that needed to be covered, teasingly revealing.
“Take off your pants,” Jin Yang ordered.
After obeying the first command, the rest was much easier.
As Zhou Mushi blushed and stripped himself naked like a rabbit that had just been shaved, Jin Yang remained stiff and proper, having only undone one button on his shirt.
It wasn’t until now that Zhou Mushi realized that being with Jin Yang, even over the phone, was far more embarrassing than their usual interactions.
Looking through the camera, Jin Yang appeared unmoved and serious as a mountain.
“Is there anything else you need, Mr. Jin? If not, I’m going to take a shower and go to bed.”
Of course, Jin Yang wouldn’t allow it. After all the effort to strip him naked, how could he just let him go like that?
“When you turn on the hot water in the bathroom, your phone will easily get fogged up,” he said in a serious tone, as if discussing the logistics of shipping his goods from the Caribbean.
In the end, Zhou Mushi obeyed him and sat on the edge of the bed with his legs apart. “Then please give your orders as soon as possible,” he said.
Jin Yang, of course, had that kind of self-awareness.
“Raise your butt up.”
With a face full of shyness, Zhou Mushi glared at him but complied with the request.
What happened afterwards is not easy to describe in words, In short, Zhou Mushi’s fingers were a bit wet, and Jin Yang’s palm was also a bit damp. The phone, representing its pure and innocent user, felt it shouldn’t have witnessed such things, but the long-distance lovers were both satisfied.
There is only one thing: the eye mask with the scent of Zhou Mushi, accidentally tainted by the descendants of the Jin family when Jin Yang was aroused.
On the black eye mask, there were scattered white speckles that made Zhou Mushi have an impulse to never wear an eye mask again in his life.
When sleeping, Jin Yang carefully placed the washed and dried eye mask on the other side of the pillow, while Zhou Mushi put Jin Yang’s pillow in his own bed where he usually slept.
On the first day when you were not around, having your scent by my side made me sleep soundly.
Jin Yang’s work this time was indeed quite tricky, almost non-stop, with very little time for rest day and night.
But he never forgets to communicate with Mushi during the only mealtime he has.
Like a foolish kid who has never been in love, the 25 or 26-year-old Zhou Mushi rushes over to his phone at the sound of a WeChat notification, no matter what he’s doing. Whenever he sees a message from Jin Yang, he can’t help but feel overjoyed.
. . . . .
The heavy workload can be very oppressive at times.
Jin Yang didn’t know if it was because he was getting a little older or if it was because he had money and had let himself go. After pulling several all-nighters, on the day he was leaving, he suddenly got up and saw blackness before his eyes, with a ring of bright stars flashing and swirling in front of him. It took him a while to recover.
After leaving the house, he immediately bought a box of candy to keep his blood sugar levels up and prevent it from affecting his health.
When Jin Yang returned by plane, Zhou Mushi went to the airport to pick him up. They had known each other for eight years, but this was the first time Zhou Mushi had come to the airport to pick someone up.
During the three years they were together before, they were both low-key despite their lovey-dovey relationship, unlike now.
Moreover, back then, Jin Yang only had a small company and at most he would take a high-speed train or a regular train for business trips. Why would he need to be picked up at the airport?
When Zhou Mushi went to pick him up, they happened to encounter some fans who were excitedly waiting for some celebrity. The young girl’s faces were beaming with excitement.
He smiled as he watched these lively and cheerful girls, who always managed to make people feel good.
One bold girl among the fans noticed him swaying with the crowd and poked him, asking, “Are you also here to pick up your brother?”
Shyly, Zhou Mushi smiled and replied, “I’m here to pick up my husband.”
“Ah! This male fan is too bold. We don’t even dare to call our idols husband,” the girl exclaimed.
Zhou Mushi was a bit helpless and said, “Actually, I’m not…”
“Here he comes! Ah!!! Brother, brother, you’ve worked hard. Brother, you’re so handsome!” The fans suddenly erupted into cheers and screams.
Zhou Mushi listened to the noise for a while and then took a glance: What the hell! Isn’t that Zhou Hang?
