GLIHBN Chapter 68
by VolareChapter 68: He Was Once Your Brother’s Boyfriend
The movie theater is an essential dating spot for couples. Su Shi and Chi Ye arrived late, and the movie had already started when they went in.
The light was too dim, and the two groped their way to their seats. Someone had arrived even later than they had, and went to sit in the last row.
Chi Ye held a bucket of popcorn in his arms, feeding Su Shi a piece every now and then.
Su Shi’s mouth never stopped. “You eat too.”
“Okay, I’ll eat some later.”
Su Shi had wanted to ask earlier, buying a bucket of popcorn is normal, but why only one cup of cola?
Now that he thought about it, he didn’t need to ask, Chi Ye definitely wanted to share the same cup with him.
Chi Ye’s clinginess always broke new ground in the process of getting along.
There weren’t many people watching the movie today, and there were many empty seats. Su Shi and Chi Ye were in the third to last row, and there were only the two of them in this row.
Su Shi and Chi Ye were very close, almost always touching each other. Occasionally, when they saw an exciting scene, Su Shi would whisper to Chi Ye.
Chi Ye would listen to Su Shi with a light smile, then speak into Su Shi’s ear. The two had back-and-forth interactions, full of affection.
Sharing a drink, eating a bucket of popcorn, and stealing a kiss when there was no one around – all of this was seen by Xu Chongming, who was sitting in the last row.
Xu Chongming’s face was grave, and veins popped out on his hand gripping the armrest of the seat.
Shen Lin said he saw Su Shi and Chi Ye together in the mall, acting intimately, but Xu Chongming didn’t believe it at all.
How long had it been since Su Shi broke up with him? How could he find someone else so quickly? What’s more, that person was Chi Ye, who had clearly said he liked women.
But Shen Lin was certain, saying he definitely wouldn’t be mistaken.
Shen Lin even suspected that Su Shi and Chi Ye had been secretly seeing each other for a long time, and just used the Du Li incident as an excuse to break up with Xu Chongming, so they could be together.
Xu Chongming didn’t want to believe it, but he couldn’t help but suspect.
Su Shi broke up with him decisively, without any hesitation, and blacklisted all contact methods.
Besides being sad on the day of the breakup, Su Shi went to work the next day, went on business trips, and didn’t miss a beat.
Xu Chongming got drunk several times because of Su Shi, and kept trying to win him back, but Su Shi was like an impenetrable wall.
In order to verify Shen Lin’s statement, Xu Chongming drove to the downstairs of Su Shi’s apartment, and happened to pass Su Shi’s car.
Xu Chongming turned around and followed.
Su Shi and Chi Ye entered a movie theater, the same movie theater that Xu Chongming had come to with Su Shi last time. They watched a comedy, which Su Shi didn’t like very much.
It wasn’t until he walked into this movie theater and saw Su Shi and Chi Ye sitting together, so close, acting so intimately, that Xu Chongming believed that Su Shi and his good cousin were really together.
Xu Chongming sat in the last row, taking in everything the two people in front of him did, and the more he watched, the more his heart sank.
Su Shi had never been intimate with Xu Chongming in public. Xu Chongming had always thought that Su Shi was a shy person, but he didn’t expect that with Chi Ye, he could whisper and flirt without regard for others.
Xu Chongming had never seen such a lively Su Shi. Even though the light was very dim, Xu Chongming could see that Su Shi was always smiling.
Su Shi completely accepted everything Chi Ye did to him, and even responded actively.
Xu Chongming had never seen any desire for love in Su Shi. When they were dating, they only explored together, and never got any closer.
On the one hand, Xu Chongming had pursued Su Shi for too long, and once he got his wish, he held Su Shi very high, regarding him as a god, and not daring to defile him casually.
On the other hand, there was always a lack of luck between the two. Every time they wanted to get closer, either Su Shi had something to do, or Xu Chongming was called away by Jiang Hui.
Later, when he went abroad to study, there was even less opportunity.
But now, the person he regarded as a god was full of worldly desires in front of Chi Ye.
How could Xu Chongming accept this?
Xu Chongming felt his heart bleeding.
The movie seemed to be very exciting, and bursts of laughter erupted from the audience from time to time.
But Xu Chongming didn’t see anything at all, and wasn’t interested in the content of the movie.
Su Shi and Chi Ye watched with great interest. When they weren’t talking, Su Shi rested his head on Chi Ye’s body, watching the big screen intently.
Chi Ye had many small actions, and spent most of his time looking at Su Shi. Sometimes he kissed his face, sometimes he touched his hair, and sometimes he played with his fingers.
Xu Chongming wanted to rush up and separate the two of them, but when he thought of how Su Shi avoided him like a snake, he instantly lost his courage.
When the movie finally ended, Su Shi and Chi Ye walked out of the theater, holding hands, talking as they walked.
“Today’s movie was okay,” Su Shi commented.
“I could tell, you were watching so intently, you didn’t even look at me,” Chi Ye said sourly.
Su Shi couldn’t help but laugh. “We came to the movie theater to watch movies, why would I look at you?”
Chi Ye didn’t say anything, he just bumped into Su Shi with his body to show his dissatisfaction, and Su Shi laughed heartily.
Xu Chongming followed not far away, as if masochistically, digging his nails into his palm until it bled.
Back home, Su Shi immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Chi Ye was helping Su Shi tidy up his clothes.
A familiar cell phone ringtone rang. Chi Ye picked up the phone and saw that it was Xu Chongming. His eyes darkened, and he answered the call.
Su Shi came out of the shower and didn’t see anyone, so he called Chi Ye. “Where are you?”
Chi Ye said, “I went downstairs to buy something.”
“Come back soon.”
“Okay.”
Chi Ye’s voice was very gentle and patient. He hung up the phone and said to Xu Chongming on the other end, “Brother, what’s the matter?”
“Brother? How can you still call me brother?” Xu Chongming glared.
“Get to the point.”
Xu Chongming was furious. “How can you be with Su Shi? He was once your brother’s boyfriend.”
Chi Ye looked at Xu Chongming for a while before saying, “So what? You’ve already broken up.”
“When did you two get together?” Xu Chongming absolutely didn’t believe what Shen Lin said, that the two had been secretly seeing each other for a long time.
“Not long after you broke up.”
Xu Chongming suppressed the anger in his heart. “What’s the specific time?”
Chi Ye narrowed his eyes. “After your lover tried to hurt Su Shi, and I stepped in to save him.”
“You…” Xu Chongming was speechless. He would always be in the wrong for this matter.
But on closer thought, something was wrong. It was too coincidental that Chi Ye would appear where Su Shi and Du Li were meeting. That in itself was very subtle. Moreover, in that kind of emergency, Chi Ye reacted quickly and rushed up to save Su Shi without regard for his own safety.
There was only one possibility: Chi Ye had liked Su Shi for a long time.
Xu Chongming hadn’t thought about these things in detail before, but now that he was thinking backwards, everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
“Did you have those kinds of thoughts about Su Shi a long time ago?”
Xu Chongming’s heartbeat quickened, hoping to hear a denial from Chi Ye.
However, Chi Ye disappointed him.
Chi Ye didn’t deny it. He said, “Brother, you can’t be completely devoted to Su Shi, but I can. I can give him my life.”
