GLIHBN Chapter 73
by VolareThere had never been a moment when Su Shi wanted to see Chi Ye more than right now, to ask him clearly: “Have you secretly liked me for a long, long time? Before I even knew you?”
But the moment he saw Chi Ye, Su Shi changed his mind.
Su Shi parked his car downstairs in the apartment complex and happened to see Chi Ye coming out of the convenience store, carrying a clear plastic bag. He could see what was inside: cola, juice, and yogurt, all things Su Shi had said he wanted to drink the night before.
Chi Ye was walking and texting, looking very focused. However, when he stepped over a child’s toy car on the ground, he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, deftly avoiding it.
Su Shi’s phone in his hand lit up. He looked and saw a message from Chi Ye.
“How much longer until you get home? I miss you.”
“You haven’t paid much attention to me today. If you don’t come home soon, I’m coming to find you.”
Su Shi smiled and suddenly felt like he didn’t need to ask anything. If Chi Ye wasn’t saying something, he must have his reasons.
Su Shi believed that one day, Chi Ye would tell him these things himself.
“Chi Ye.”
Hearing Su Shi’s voice, Chi Ye looked up and locked onto Su Shi’s location. Without hesitation, he ran toward him. Su Shi also ran toward Chi Ye.
It’s said that you should run to see the person you love.
See? It’s true.
“You’re back.”
Chi Ye hugged Su Shi and rubbed the back of his head.
“Yeah, I’m back.”
Su Shi pressed himself against Chi Ye’s chest, listening to the strong, rhythmic heartbeat within, which felt deafeningly loud.
In the bathroom, the water vapor was thick, and all the glass was covered with a layer of mist.
Chi Ye was showering when he heard someone open the door behind him. He leaned his hands against the wall, a secret smile playing on his lips, waiting for his prey to approach.
For the first time, Su Shi was so proactive, facing Chi Ye’s bare back, he took off his clothes one by one.
“Chi Ye, I’m going to shower with you.”
Before the word “shower” could even leave his lips, Su Shi was pulled abruptly closer by Chi Ye. “Ugh, Chi Ye.”
Su Shi couldn’t help but arch his feet.
Chi Ye intertwined his fingers with Su Shi’s, pressing them against the wall.
Su Shi was obedient and compliant, allowing Chi Ye to do whatever he wanted.
Chi Ye’s fitness efforts had paid off, and the difference in their physiques was now significant. He used his absolute control to overwhelm Su Shi. “You asked for this.”
Chi Ye began to explore the mysteries of Su Shi’s “body” all the way down.
Su Shi’s eyes, steamed by the water vapor, were dark and bright. He tilted his head back, his expression “pained.”
Suddenly, he was flipped around, his face pressed against the wall.
A tidal wave of excitement surged through his body. Su Shi couldn’t help but call Chi Ye’s name, “Chi Ye, Chi Ye.”
“Yes,” Chi Ye responded from behind him, then suddenly called out, “Wife.”
Su Shi was greatly stimulated. Before, Chi Ye would only secretly call him that after he was almost asleep, and Su Shi pretended not to hear.
Chi Ye bit Su Shi’s ear. “Don’t you like me calling you that?”
Su Shi was awkward. “I’m not a girl.”
“But you’re my wife.”
Su Shi had heard some men in gay bars call their partners “wife,” and he always felt like he couldn’t accept it if it were him.
It wasn’t about being a chauvinist, he simply didn’t like being called that; it was too embarrassing.
Xu Chongming once made a joke and called Su Shi “wife,” and Su Shi immediately forbade it. Later, Xu Chongming always called him “baby.”
But now, Chi Ye was breathing softly in Su Shi’s ear, asking, “Can I call you ‘wife’?”
Su Shi resisted, gritting his teeth. “No, don’t call me that.”
Chi Ye didn’t give up, repeatedly coaxing, “Can I call you ‘wife’?”
Su Shi couldn’t hold on any longer. Finally, his heart softened, and he slowly nodded.
It took Su Shi a long time to say the word “can” completely.
Then Chi Ye became even more aggressive, calling him “wife” while holding Su Shi tightly against the wall so he couldn’t slide down.
Everything slowly returned to peace.
Chi Ye played with Su Shi’s ring-adorned fingers, kissing them every now and then.
Su Shi snuggled into Chi Ye’s chest. “Why were you so rough with me?”
Chi Ye’s voice always became hoarse and low after these moments, sounding incredibly sexy. “I wasn’t rough, it was all affection.”
Su Shi felt like his ears were about to get pregnant. He reached out a soft hand and pinched Chi Ye’s arm. “You’ve gotten a lot stronger.”
Chi Ye was a little proud. “Yeah, so I can protect you.”
Su Shi giggled. “I’m older than you, I’ll protect you.”
“Are you sure you’re older than me?”
Su Shi realized what he meant and raised his hand to hit Chi Ye. “You’re getting more and more shameless.”
Chi Ye grabbed Su Shi’s hand and put it in his mouth to nibble. “I am shameless. When I see you, my head is full of dirty thoughts.”
Su Shi had never thought of himself as someone with strong desires, but now, he had to admit that he was.
Su Shi put his arm around Chi Ye’s waist, feeling lazy all over. He wished time would stop at this moment, that they could be together forever.
Su Shi confirmed with Song Qingyan that the ring would be made exactly like the one on his hand, according to Chi Ye’s finger size, with the same “CYSS” engraved on the inside.
That way, they would be a pair of couple rings. He would give Chi Ye a surprise then.
Xu Chongming had contacted Su Shi several times, whether it was for business collaborations or personal meetings, but Su Shi refused them all.
Su Shi’s studio was not short of business. Although Xu’s conditions were generous, they also came with many restrictions.
Su Shi knew the scale of his studio. He didn’t have big ambitions and never aimed too high, striving for steady progress.
As for personal matters, there was no need to mention them. Su Shi would not argue with Chi Ye because of what Xu Chongming said, so he didn’t want to see Xu Chongming.
This completely broke Xu Chongming’s defenses, and he questioned Su Shi, “I lied to you, and Chi Ye also lied to you. Why are you only so tolerant of him?”
Su Shi’s answer was simple: “There’s no comparison.”
Xu Chongming was once again heartbroken by Su Shi’s resoluteness, realizing how much Su Shi loved Chi Ye.
He borrowed the phone from Shen Lin because Su Shi had blacklisted Xu Chongming. Xu Chongming threw the phone back to Shen Lin, burying his head dejectedly in his arms.
Shen Lin sat down next to him, patted Xu Chongming’s back, and earnestly advised, “Since he really can’t turn back, why force it?”
Xu Chongming raised his head, his expression gloomy. “You don’t understand.”
Shen Lin raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, I don’t understand. Young master, whatever makes you happy.”
Xu Chongming seemed to have made a certain decision, clenching his fists tightly, gnashing his teeth. “Chi Ye, that little punk, caused me and Su Shi to break up. I won’t let him get away with this so easily.”
“But your mom isn’t letting you mess around, and you’ll still need Chi Ye later.”
Xu Chongming painfully hugged his head, a sense of frustration gradually eroding his sanity.
Shen Lin’s words were a wake-up call. In the path of love with Su Shi, Jiang Hui was the biggest obstacle.
“Then I’ll make it so my mom can’t control me anymore.”
Shen Lin was frightened by the aura emanating from Xu Chongming. “Don’t do anything rash. That’s your own mother.”
Xu Chongming adjusted his mindset, straightened his body, and returned to his noble young master demeanor. “I know what I’m doing.”
