Perfect Match - Two Men's Love - Chapter 18

18
Lai finally had a long overdue vacation.
Min Xiangnan and Su Nuo didn’t stay in New York for a long time, Su Nuo had to end her vacation early because of a temporary announcement and put herself into her work.
Without Su Nuo, Min Xiangnan naturally had nothing he wanted to play with, so he simply came back two days early. He was incredibly glad that he had made a pretty good decision when he saw Ri Ye’s state after arriving at the company. Lai Ye looked unhealthily pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were especially prominent because of his insomnia.
The first thing he did was to tell Ri Ye to stop all work and hurry home to rest.
Ri Ye also breathed a huge sigh of relief after Min Xiangnan returned. Recently, Donghua’s workload was so heavy that every single thing required his personal attention, and there was no one other than him to take his place, and Min Xiangnan’s return made him feel much more comfortable at once, and it was rare that he didn’t back down when the other party asked him to go back and rest.
The result of the instant relief was that Ri Ye was a little sick. His body was cold and hot, and his head ached like it was about to explode. That night Ri Ye began to start a fever, drowsy and kept sleeping under the covers.
A person’s life can especially reflect a sense of desolation when they are sick. Even when one was sick with a fever, one had to take care of oneself.
After three days of drowsy sleep, Lai Ye’s fever symptoms finally improved.
In the evening, it was already late at night, the visitor wore a thin black windbreaker, holding a suitcase in his hand, walking briskly, the wheels of the suitcase scratching on the ground, making a “bony, bony” sound.
Li Ye was still a bit tired, and wrapped up his pajamas to open the door after the doorbell rang.
The moment he opened the door, he had the urge to quickly close it. Only the other party didn’t give him a chance to close the door, his long hand reached out and easily blocked it, dragging the line and squeezing in.
Rai’s eyes widened as he watched the other man push him against the wall, a clear shot of muffled pain coming from his back. The man’s hands were braced just to the side of his face, forming a narrow area so that he had no way to escape and could only look straight at the other party.
Yi Xiuwen also quickly took care of things in the United States after Min Xiangnan and the others left, and took a ten-hour flight back to S City without stopping, and now he even came to look for him as soon as he stepped off the plane, but the look on Lai Ye’s face when he opened the door still let Yi Xiuwen down.
He lowered his voice, his eyes staring straight at Lai Ye, the other party’s face was pale, similarly looking back at him, “Why didn’t you come?”
Lai Ye’s body that was tense just now loosened up at this moment, his body was already a bit limp, so he took advantage of this position to lean against the wall, he opened his mouth and didn’t say anything.
Yi Xiuwen powerless head down, against the shoulders of Li Ye: “You know what …..I waited for so long …… I thought you would come ……”
Lai Ye glanced sideways at the other person before turning his gaze forward, crossing Yi Xiuwen’s shoulder and spreading it all the way into the distance.
The knot in his throat moved for a long moment before he said, “Mr. Yi …..Can you move your head away from me first, it’s too …… heavy ……”
“You answer me first.” Yi Xiuwen didn’t want to move at all, the tip of his nose sniffing the scent of Ri Ye’s body, feeling familiar.
“I’m busy.”
Is that so ……? Yi Xiuwen knew that Ri Ye had always prioritized work, but because of this knowledge, he also knew that this was a good excuse. At any time, wanting to reject someone, this was a good saying.
“Ri Ye, can I hear something different to say than the others? I thought …… at least you could tell me in person that you weren’t coming …… or …… did you simply have no intention of seeing me again?”
Ri Ye’s eyes stayed stagnant in front of him, the room was a little dim with only a small light on inside, and the shadows of the two of them were just quietly slanting and imprinted on the wall.
“Yes.” Lai paused, he could feel the other man’s body stiffen in this instant, the weight on his shoulders disappearing all of a sudden, along with the arm that was restraining him.
Yi Xiuwen stood disheveled, his hand hanging feebly at his side, the expression on his face not visible in the shadows.
Ri Ye could feel his disappointment …… sadness ……
He turned his head sideways and inhaled deeply.
The picture that Min Xiangnan had sent him that night came to mind, and his heart immediately clenched.
Yi Xiuwen’s feelings were too straightforward, making him a little overwhelmed, and he even recalled some of the things the other person had said to him, words that he had fantasized about himself as well, but words that he wished another person could say to him.He has been numb in the years of bitter love, the powerlessness of drowning, has been about to let him breathe …… Yi Xiuwen’s appearance, really like a driftwood ……
Ming have loved Min Xiangnan for so many years, or faltered.
But he himself is like this …… There is no way to face himself honestly …… nor can he just accept it gladly, there are just too many things …… that he has to think about.
“I …… “Yi Xiuwen had already adjusted the expression on his face when he raised his head again, and he reluctantly pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, “It’s so late… …” originally wanted to stay words are to the edge of the mouth, but can not say out, originally their own is determined to ask for a result, just their own anticipation is too good, the reality is so disappointing. He paused for a few seconds and said, “I won’t bother you, I …… will go first.”
Yi Xiuwen grabbed the suitcase that had just been thrown aside because he was in too much of a hurry and reached for the door handle.
“Wait.” Ri Ye stood behind him and grabbed the lever of his suitcase.
“It’s too late now, stay here.”
Yi Xiuwen knew that Ri Ye would keep him, but he didn’t intend to stay in such a way as if he was pretending to be pathetic; he was indeed sad and upset, but he hadn’t failed, had he?
“It’s late, but it’s still easy to find the hotel.” Yi Xiuwen turned his head and said, “Lai Ye, I don’t want you to take me in because you feel sorry for me, nor do I want you to think that me leaving is a means for you to retain me. I had every intention of staying, but that was because I thought …… you would give me the result I wanted.”
“Good night. “Yi Xiuwen pulled his hand away from the side of the drawbar, the moment his hand reached Ri Ye’s fingers he blushed, Ri Ye’s fingers were burning, that temperature had been so hot that it was a little out of the ordinary, “You’ve got a fever?”
Ri Ye nodded, the heat of his whole body came up, every time he gasped for breath he felt a bit strained, “Then Mr. Yi please help me close the door, I want to go in and sleep for a while.”
He was miserably pale, his whole body was cold, he just wanted to go into his room and lie down.
Yi Xiuwen instantly regretted the words he said just now, now it seems that what he said was all nonsense, Li Ye was so sick, how could he still have the heart to walk or not to walk, love or not to love.
He took a few steps and walked around in front of Ri Ye’s body, the other party’s eyes were hanging down, but his hand was clutching the robe on his body, wanting to wrap it more tightly.
Easily can be swept into the arms, “I changed my mind …… I have to take care of you.”
Although Ri Ye was running a fever, he still said, “Mr. Yi isn’t afraid that I’ll take pity on you?”
In the moment of being swept into the other party’s arms and coming into contact with that familiar temperature, Ri Ye himself was a little disoriented.
“Then …… pity me.” Yi Xiuwen saw that Ri Ye was still able to tease himself at this time, and was really relieved, his hands wrapped around the other party even more tightly again.
“Mr. Yi.” Although Ri Ye leaned on Yi Xiuwen’s chest and felt very comfortable, he was indeed about to lose his support, “Please help me to my room, okay?”
When Ri Ye woke up again, the sky was already bright, the bedroom was quiet, he could only hear his own slightly heavy breathing, the door was half-open, and there was a slight sound coming from outside.
Lai Ye half sat up, the soreness in his body from the high fever had already receded, now he only felt a little weak, he leaned against the bed, his mind was blank.
“You’re awake?” Yi Xiuwen walked in through the door, lowering his rolled up sleeves as he went.
“Are you hungry? Why don’t you eat something too if you’re not hungry?”
Ri Ye listened to him and kept his gaze following Yi Xiuwen, watching him slowly sit on the edge of his bed and reach out to put his hand on his forehead.
“Well, it seems like the fever has gone down. Sure enough it’s better to eat something first.”
Yi Xiuwen drew his slippers and snapped and walked out again with quick steps, and when he came back in he had a small bowl in his hand, and when he put it down he even pinched his own ear because the bowl was hot.
The life of someone’s company …… is probably like this, right?
“Ri Ye?” Yi Xiuwen saw that he didn’t say a word, but just kept staring at himself, and wondered what exactly he was looking at.
Lai Ye was still silent and didn’t say a word, Yi Xiuwen only thought that he was not in the spirit, used his hand to test the temperature of the bowl and felt that it wasn’t too hot, so he held the bowl of congee in his hand and scooped a spoonful of it before blowing on it before handing it over to Lai Ye’s mouth.
The porridge on the spoon exuded hot air, Li Ye sight on the spoon a stay a few seconds, said: “You ……”
mouth just opened a little, Yi Xiuwen took the opportunity to send a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
Lai Ye’s mouth immediately surged into a stream of hot porridge, the warmth was not only between his lips and teeth, undeniably, a certain place in his chest also felt similarly surrounded by warmth.
It was too embarrassing, the always strong self being taken care of like this.Ri Ye himself felt awkward so he raised his hand to take the bowl of congee, Yi Xiuwen’s hand flickered and dodged it
“Don’t move, I’ll do it.” Yi Xiuwen explained.
Ri Ye shook his head uncomfortably, but he couldn’t refuse the bowl of congee that was brought to his mouth, and opened his mouth to finish the entire bowl one bite at a time.
“How did I do?” Yi Xiuwen said without words as he placed the empty bowl on a side cabinet and handed Ri Ye the medicine and water again.
With the swallowing motion over, Ri Ye answered him, “Very well.” After saying this, Ri Ye added, “I didn’t expect you to do this.”
Yi Xiuwen looked young, but judging from his demeanor and behavior he had a good family and upbringing, and it was actually hard for Ri to imagine such a man getting into the kitchen.
“After all, one has also lived for many years, this is all the simplest.” Yi Xiuwen actually wanted to do better, it’s just that Ri Ye can’t eat greasy things even in his current condition, and his own ideas were shelved like this. He left the water next to Ri Ye and then took the bowl to the sink outside.
After taking two steps, Yi Xiuwen suddenly turned back as if he thought of something and casually asked, “Do you want to stay with me?”
After hearing this, Lai Ye lowered his head and stared at the vertical striped pattern on the quilt. When Yi Xiuwen returned from outside, Ri Ye hooked his hand.
?
Yi Xiuwen was a little unsure, but his footsteps were not slow for a moment as he walked over and sat down by the bed.
“Want to do it?”
There wasn’t much expression on Ri Ye’s face, and the rise and fall of his voice when he spoke wasn’t big, but just like that, Yi Xiuwen still couldn’t help but feel a stirring in his heart when he heard him say these words.
Obviously just being sick …… but as soon as he saw the picture…he himself began to falter…The neckline of Ri Ye’s pajamas was loosened, revealing a good-looking collarbone, and his skin, which was already white, appeared to be even more white because of his illness.
Yi Xiuwen hurriedly shook off the evil thoughts that were growing in his mind, yesterday it was clearly him who personally rejected himself, not even denying that he never wanted to meet with himself again……. What’s wrong with him now?
A warmth in his hand, Ri Ye’s hand covered up, “I want to do it.” Ri Ye took off his glasses when Yi Xiuwen’s eyes were right on him, his hand didn’t move away, and with his other hand, one by one, he started unbuttoning his pajamas.
“Why?” Yi Xiuwen was just puzzled, Lai Ye was more than a little bit strange today, he had been acting not quite like his usual self since just now, was he burning up again?Or ……
Lai Ye’s buttons have all been unbuttoned, and with a slight lift of his hand the clothes fall from his shoulders in their entirety, and he reaches out to caress one of Yi Xiuwen’s cheeks, “Continue?”
“Wait.” Yi Xiuwen grabbed his wrist with both hands, forcing the other’s eyes to look at himself.
The upper half of the other man’s body was already in full view, and Yi Xiuwen took a few deep breaths before suppressing his urge.
“Why?”
He asked once more, his gaze locked straight onto Lai Ye, not sparing any of his expressions.
Ri Ye, however, hooked up the corners of his mouth and smiled, light for a moment before it disappeared again, “To answer the question you just asked, bedmate, no more. You can choose to continue …… or leave.”
Yi Xiuwen look to Ri Ye’s eyes have become a little unbelievable, he suddenly felt that the Ri Ye in front of him is so unfamiliar, before this if someone else with him to mention the same conditions he will be happy to accept, after all, each other’s degree of fit is the most important, but now he has made his feelings clear to Ri Ye, Ri Ye’s proposal …… is so hurtful.
Sure enough, in his eyes, he has no use for himself other than going to bed, and no matter how much he shows him goodwill, it is no better than the three words Min Xiangnan.
The fire in the bottom of his heart had already quietly burned up, Yi Xiuwen pulled down Li Ye’s hand that was resting on his own face.
“Assistant Li, if you want a bed partner, I can find as many as I want.” Yi Xiuwen stood up and stood on the edge of the bed looking at Lai Ye from a high vantage point.
Lai lowered his head the moment he released his confinement.
“Get dressed, I’m leaving.”
Lai Ye watched Yi Xiuwen leave from his eyes for half a second, buttoning up the buttons in front of him one by one again, his whole body burrowed inside the quilt, closing his eyes and rolling the quilt tighter.
