Chapter 62
Chapter 62
In the end, it was Jiang Xu who pushed Shen Fangyu away first.
Traces of emotion still lingered on the two men’s faces, and the village head of the novice village was still playing music to show his presence.
Jiang Xu stiffened his neck and looked at Shen Fangyu, who was more or less hot under the collar; his entire face and even his neck were red.
“What are you ……” Jiang Xu was panting a bit as he spoke, “doing?”
Shen Fangyu’s mind went blank, he seemed to regain consciousness in the face of Jiang Xu’s questioning, but he hadn’t fully recovered.
“I’m sorry, Jiang Xu…” His mind was a mess, instinctively trying to find a rational reason for his unreasonable behavior. However, his brain had lost this function, and he ended up squeezing out the words:
“If I said you had something on your lips and I was trying to wipe it for you, would you believe me?”
Jiang Xu: “……”
The silence spread in the confined space, and Jiang Xu suddenly felt a little breathless. He threw the tablet on his lap aside and hurriedly stood up, saying, “I’m going to the bathroom,” and then fleeing without looking back.
He stood in front of the sink, slapping his face frantically with cold water, but it did nothing for his pounding heart.
His heart was already beating a little fast after he had just defeated the village chief, and after Shen Fangyu kissed him, it was like he had turned on three more motors; it was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat, as if his chest cavity was smothered with pain.
Of course Jiang Xu wouldn’t believe Shen Fangyu’s words.
Just because he had never been in a relationship didn’t mean he didn’t know what a kiss meant between two people, and what’s more, it was such a long and slow kiss.
Shen Fangyu hadn’t been drinking; he was sober.
Shen Fangyu liked him.
He reacted almost conclusively.
His thoughts were a jumble, and he leaned against the cold wall, but he felt like he had a fire lit inside him, and there was no way to calm down.
He couldn’t tell what he was thinking, he just instinctively felt that he was happy.
It wasn’t just happiness from finding out that his former nemesis liked him; there was something else there.
His heart burned hot, his lips tingled slightly, and all the neurons in his brain seemed to have gone on strike at the same time, leaving only a messy paste.
Jiang Xu instinctively tried to find an emotional breakthrough; he fished out his phone and dialed Tang Ke’s number, only to find that his words were steaming hot when he opened his mouth—the temperature was so high that he was about to explode.
“Tang Ke ……,” he spoke hesitantly, “there’s someone who likes me.”
Tang Ke was baffled by his rash call, “Huh?”
“It’s a man.” Jiang Xu added.
“Then you should reject him,” Tang Ke said, “There were a lot of guys who confessed their love to you when you were studying, and you rejected them all, so why would you call me about that?”
Jiang Xu took a deep breath, realizing that he might not be able to communicate with Tang Ke properly, and was about to hang up the phone when Tang Ke finally responded.
“Wait…” Tang Ke said, “According to your resolute rejections before, you would have immediately refused, but you’re actually calling me? Are you torn, Jiang Xu? Shit!” He sat up violently from the bed, “This immortal, are you going to descend to the mortal world?”
He asked a series of questions: “You have a crush on him, don’t you? Who is it that could actually sway you?”
In all the years he had known Jiang Xu, the latter had never sought him out for any relationship advice, and Tang Ke had always felt that even if Jiang Xu fell in love, he should be the kind of person who was able to plan things out and sort out his feelings in an absolutely rational manner.
What was the situation now?
Was he panicking? He had actually come to ask about relationship issues
The most frightening thing was that after he had asked so many questions, Jiang Xu went silent! He was actually silent!
If this were usual, Jiang Xu would either hang up on him or mock him, but today’s Jiang Xu was silent.
“You’re so in love that you’ve lost your head, huh?” Tang Ke was shocked and gloating at the same time. “Jiang Xu, I didn’t expect you to panic and not know what to do when you meet someone you like! It’s so refreshing.”
“I didn’t ……” Jiang Xu didn’t sound so confident.
“You didn’t what?” Tang Ke smiled curiously and said, “You are acting so abnormally, yet you still want to deny that you like him? I want to know who it is!”
As he spoke, he started worrying about something else: “Does that person know about the baby?”
He then answered himself, “But don’t worry, Jiang Xu; if I liked men, I would be happy to be with you even if I knew you had a child; my Jiang Xu is the male god of many people. If I could make you like me, I could give birth to your child, not to mention raise it.”
Jiang Xu choked on Tang Ke’s out-of-the-box thinking, but he knew that Tang Ke was just talking nonsense to comfort him because he was afraid that he would have a psychological burden.
But ……
Does he like Shen Fangyu?
He closed his eyes and pressed the bridge of his nose, unable to figure out what he was feeling at the moment.
“Hey, but have you spoken to Shen Fangyu?” Because of that one big red envelope, Tang Ke could now remember Shen Fangyu. “You still have to talk to him about it, even if you have someone you like, you two have a child now.”
Jiang Xu was silent, not really knowing what to say to Tang Ke for the moment.
“I understand, you haven’t said anything.” Tang Ke thought this matter seemed a bit difficult and offered to help Jiang Xu out, “If you’re not able to do it …… why don’t I go talk to him?”
“Don’t-“
Before Jiang Xu could explain, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Shen Fangyu’s voice: “Jiang Xu, are you… okay?”
Jiang Xu didn’t answer, but Shen Fangyu didn’t threaten to smash the door like last time.
He glanced at the bathroom door and lowered his voice to say to Tang Ke, “I’ll talk to you later.” And then he hung up the phone quickly and slapped some more water on his face.
Finally, he dried his face and looked in the mirror again to make sure his face had returned to normal and had no fluctuations before pushing the bathroom door open.
To his surprise, Shen Fangyu was still standing at the door.
Shen Fangyu had come to his senses and remembered his “step-by-step” love guide, so he wore an embarrassed, apologetic face and pursed his lips nervously, looking a bit overwhelmed.
Jiang Xu looked at him and felt the fire in his heart start to burn his face again.
“You ……” Jiang Xu paused, “Go sleep on the sofa.”
“What if you feel unwell at night and—”
“I’ll be fine.” Jiang Xu interrupted him.
Shen Fangyu froze, lowered his head, and gave a very soft “mm”. He quickly went in and out of the room, moved the pillows and bedding to the sofa, and then said to Jiang Xu, “Then you have a good rest.”
“Mm….” Jiang Xu nodded in a disoriented manner, feeling as if every expressive muscle on his face was stiff, and he walked back to the bedroom with weak feet. The sheets still had Shen Fangyu’s body heat on them, and the two indentations on the bed were traces of where they had just sat.
Jiang Xu gently smoothed the sheets with his hand and retreated under the covers. After lying there for a long time, he suddenly reached out from under the covers and touched his lips lightly.
When it came to kissing, Shen Fangyu was more knowledgeable than he expected.
He was very good at kissing.
He was also very good at stimulating the mind.
There was no aggression in the kiss; even the bites were gentle, leaving him plenty of room to react. He was careful and affectionate, and the scent of his body was just right to melt in, it was both delicate and ambiguous.
He did not arrogantly and imperiously spell out that he wanted to possess you, but gently and slowly compelled you to indulge yourself.
The softness of the fingers should be more seductive than the steel of a hundred refinements.
At least ……it was more seductive to Jiang Xu.
When he realized that he was thinking about the kiss, Jiang Xu’s heart skipped a beat, and he withdrew his hand from his lips as if he had been burned.
Finally, he turned off the light with a “snap”, put his slender fingers on his temples, and slowly massaged them.
He had a headache.
