ASSHKHME Chapter 47
by VolareChapter 47: The Scent of Puppy
Chen Zhuo thought of the social news he’d seen recently, and his heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and corneas began to ache faintly.
He walked with hurried steps, taking the time to glance back, but no one was chasing him. Turning around, he bumped into someone’s chest and was caught steadily.
Xie Yu had been waiting for Chen Zhuo for a long time, thinking he had run off, and hurried out to find him. “Why are you walking so fast? Is someone chasing you?”
Xie Yu’s embrace was firm and strong. Through the thin fabric of their clothes, he could feel the vigorous muscles underneath.
Chen Zhuo liked it a lot and hugged him in response.
“I just ran into someone who said he was from some media company, oh, Cheng Qiao Media, asking if I wanted to be a streamer. He even said that with my looks, I could buy a Cullinan in a year. I suspect he’s a scammer.”
Xie Yu’s brow twitched slightly. This media company was one of the best in the industry. Now that livestreaming and e-commerce were booming, his dad intended to expand the company’s new territory and was currently in talks with the boss of Cheng Qiao Media about cooperation.
This Sichuan restaurant was quite large, with surveillance cameras everywhere. No one would be stupid enough to abduct people in such a place, so it was probably really a scout from Cheng Qiao Media.
But Xie Yu said, “Yeah, I also think he’s a scammer. There are so many scams these days. Remember, don’t talk to strangers in the future, especially those who express goodwill towards you for no reason. They’re all up to no good. Stay away from them, and then tell me.”
Like a parent educating a child, Xie Yu was seizing every opportunity to make him ward off potential admirers. His little intentions were so obvious and so cute.
Chen Zhuo wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back, nodding seriously, “Okay, I’ll remember. Little Yu will protect me.”
His appearance was too deceptive. When he pretended to be well-behaved, he looked extremely docile and endearing.
His dark and bright eyes stared straight at Xie Yu like that, rippling with a shallow smile, making Xie Yu’s heart itch.
Xie Yu knew that Chen Zhuo was playing little tricks to tease him again, but he still fell for it, pulling him into an empty private room, cupping Chen Zhuo’s face, and lowering his head to kiss him.
This kiss was mixed with too many emotions that couldn’t be put into words, like throwing a spark into a pile of dry firewood, quickly creating a prairie fire.
Xie Yu held Chen Zhuo’s waist tightly, his breath hot, pressing against his lips and saying, “Whether you believe it or not, my feelings for you are definitely not a whim. I… um.”
The calm lake in Chen Zhuo’s heart began to boil, and he hooked Xie Yu’s neck and blocked his mouth, “Hold, hold me tight.”
The sounds of diners chatting and laughing after a satisfying meal came from the corridor. They passed by the private room next door, unable to guess that there were two young people inside lost in a passionate kiss.
That was the most youthful, budding spring heart.
For a long time.
Xie Yu rested his forehead on Chen Zhuo’s shoulder, breathing evenly, rubbing his nose against the crook of his neck, and saying in a sticky voice, “You know what? You have a scent on you.”
Chen Zhuo’s back was against the wall, and he stroked the cleanly shaved back of Xie Yu’s head with his hand. The hard stubble scratched his palm, making it itchy.
He lazily asked, “What scent? The scent of shower gel or shampoo?”
Xie Yu raised his head, his fingers playing with Chen Zhuo’s slightly disheveled forehead hair, looking down at his red lips, and said softly, “It’s not just the scent of citrus, it’s also mixed with a warm, fleshy scent.”
Chen Zhuo laughed and pushed him away, “You’re scaring me when you say that, are you a reincarnated cannibal? Can you smell human flesh?”
Xie Yu grabbed his hand, caressing the small protruding bones on his wrist, and said seriously, “It’s not the smell of human flesh, it’s your scent, and only I can smell it.”
Chen Zhuo remembered a short story he had once heard. When a person truly loves someone, they can smell their body fragrance, which is actually the scent of hormones.
Chen Zhuo’s heart fluttered slightly, and he held Xie Yu’s hand in return, ambiguously squeezing his palm, “Dog nose.”
Xie Yu moved closer to Chen Zhuo, pressing his head into his arms, and chuckled, “Smell it, do I have a scent on me?”
Chen Zhuo really smelled it carefully. It was hard to describe what the specific scent was, but it had a reassuring aura.
He mumbled in Xie Yu’s arms and laughed, “Yeah, I smell it, it’s the scent of puppy.”
Xie Yu laughed in anger and tickled the soft flesh on his waist, “You’re mocking me again, you only know how to bully me.”
Chen Zhuo dodged him, laughing, and accidentally bumped his arm against the door, making a loud noise, “Ah.”
Xie Yu’s face changed, and before he could ask, “Does it hurt?”, the door on the other side was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
It was the cleaning lady with a mop, surprised, “Oh dear, I thought there was a big rat, what are you two young men doing here?”
Chen Zhuo instantly stood up straight and said in a serious tone, “Auntie, we went to the wrong private room. Where is private room 2007?”
The cleaning lady was a warm-hearted person, beckoning him out and pointing with her finger, “It’s over there, just around the corner, it’s written on the doorplate.”
Chen Zhuo nodded, “Thank you, Auntie, you go ahead, we’ll go over now.”
After saying that, he gave Xie Yu a look.
Xie Yu quickly followed up with a “Thank you” and quickly left the “crime scene” with Chen Zhuo.
The cleaning lady sighed behind them, “Oh my, the kids these days are so tall, handsome, and polite, it’s really nice.”
Chen Zhuo and Xie Yu both held back their laughter, and after hurriedly returning to the private room, they looked at each other and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The food on the table had been served, and Chen Zhuo pulled out a chair and sat down, “It smells so good, I’m really hungry, I’m going to eat three bowls of rice.”
Xie Yu sat next to him, imitating the way his father took care of his mother, turning the table and picking up food for Chen Zhuo, “Try this boiled beef, it’s very tender, the boiled cabbage in clear soup is also good, the soup base is rich in flavor, it’s very delicious.”
Chen Zhuo didn’t respond to force, he responded to gentleness, and being taken care of like this made him a little embarrassed, and he said shyly, “Yeah, thank you.”
Xie Yu was stunned, “You even say thank you? You scared me.”
Chen Zhuo felt that he couldn’t give this kid a good face, glaring at him before stepping on his foot under the table, “Go get me a bottle of Coke.”
Xie Yu “ow”ed, complaining, “My new shoes! You only know how to boss me around.”
Despite the complaints, Xie Yu still got up and asked the waiter for a can of Coke to bring over.
Halfway through the meal, Xie Yu’s phone rang. It was a call from his mother, and he directly answered and put it on speakerphone, “Hey Mom, I’m having lunch with Little Zhuo, what’s up?”
Chen Zhuo didn’t look up, slowly and methodically eating his food.
Cheng Tangyu’s gentle voice came, “You’re with Little Zhuo, are you two getting along well now?”
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows at Chen Zhuo, deliberately saying, “Yeah, we’re getting along really well now.”
Chen Zhuo raised his eyes, glancing at him lightly, with an indescribable meaning.
Xie Yu thought it was flirting, taking his hand and naturally bringing it to his lips for a kiss.
Chen Zhuo’s eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly, his heart throbbing like a train arriving at the station, roaring in.
On the other end of the phone, the unknowing Cheng Tangyu smiled, “That’s great, it’s fate to be assigned to the same dorm, get along well.
Oh right, to the point, the Xu family has a happy event this week, Xu Qingyou is going to get engaged to Yuan Sijie, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family.
This engagement banquet has invited many business people, it’s a rare opportunity for socializing, you should come along to see the world, Little Zhuo should come too, right?”
Xie Yu looked at Chen Zhuo, seeing surprise in Chen Zhuo’s eyes.
He was quite happy, “Engaged? Xu Qingyou? That’s great news.”
