Chapter 68: Holding Hands

Under Baiyan’s comforting words, Jin Mo cried for a while before finally calming down.

“Alright, go to sleep!”

Jin Baiyan gently patted Jin Mo’s arm, helped him tuck in the blanket, and returned to his small cot for accompanying family members.

This kind of cot was really a bit cramped for the long-limbed Jin Baiyan.

His long arm had to stretch outwards.

Jin Mo turned on his side, looking at Jin Baiyan on the small bed, who became clearer and clearer as he gradually adjusted to the darkness.

Even that outstretched hand gradually became fair and white.

Jin Mo stared at that hand for a long time, his heart itching unbearably.

He wanted to touch Jin Baiyan’s hand, he wanted to hold Jin Baiyan’s finger.

Once the thought arose, it was hard to suppress.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly moved closer and closer to the edge of the bed, until Jin Baiyan’s hand was within his reach.

In the darkness, he greedily stared at Jin Baiyan’s hand, listening to Jin Baiyan’s even and gentle breathing. Finally, he mustered his courage, lowered his right hand, and slowly moved it towards Jin Baiyan’s hand, little by little.

He didn’t know if Jin Baiyan was fast asleep, so he didn’t dare to make too much noise, only daring to move little by little, until the two hands were close at hand.

The closer he got, the more nervous he became, his breathing almost stopping!

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the trembling in his heart, slowly raised an index finger, and gently touched Jin Baiyan’s finger, touching it and immediately withdrawing.

His breathing stopped, his eyes fixed on Jin Baiyan on the cot, and seeing that he didn’t move, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he quietly raised his index finger again, touching it once more.

This time, he didn’t rush to escape, but stayed for a few seconds before withdrawing.

Seeing that Jin Baiyan still didn’t move, he was overjoyed and raised his mischievous index finger again.

This time, his thumb also joined in the action.

He pinched Jin Baiyan’s finger, gently and carefully stroking it…

Jin Mo had never been so careful, nor so afraid, when facing Jin Baiyan.

The more he cherished him, the more he cared about him, the more he loved him to the bone, the more timid he became!

Once upon a time, he grabbed his brother’s hand and played with it wantonly, but now, even touching it made him tremble with fear.

Afraid of waking Jin Baiyan, Jin Mo didn’t dare to use any force at all, and didn’t even dare to stay for too long.

Just as he was withdrawing, Jin Baiyan’s finger moved and grabbed his index finger.

Jin Mo’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, his finger instantly stiffened, his body tensed up, and his whole person seemed to be put on pause.

Jin Baiyan had woken up when Jin Mo first touched him.

At that moment, his finger went numb!

His body also went numb!

His mind went blank!

He wanted to pull back his hand, but he didn’t have a shred of strength to move!

Jin Mo’s tentative movements were like a feather, poking at his heart.

The tingling sensation instantly swept through his whole body!

Making his whole person feel as if he was being electrocuted from head to toe, both numb and tingly.

He had never felt this way before, and for a moment his brain couldn’t even turn.

It wasn’t until Jin Mo wanted to withdraw his hand that he suddenly woke up.

At that moment, he had only one thought!

He didn’t want to, not at all, Jin Mo to let go of his hand.

He chased after him, wanting to keep that touch that made his heart intoxicated, palpitated, and his soul trembled.

In the dark night, the two people’s index fingers were hooked together, and neither of them wanted to let go even a little bit.

A burst of heat erupted from the tips of their fingers, spreading along their fingers and arms to their chests, and finally engulfing their entire bodies.

Jin Mo’s thumb couldn’t help but start stroking again…

This time, his actions drove Jin Baiyan.

Jin Baiyan’s thumb also gently stroked his hand.

Gently, numbly, like an electric current, running wildly through his limbs and bones.

Jin Mo felt that his already failing heart was even more overwhelmed, and was about to stop beating at any moment.

Gradually, both of them were no longer satisfied with the touch of one or two fingertips.

They both climbed towards each other in unison.

The middle fingers took the lead to meet, followed by the ring fingers, and finally the little fingers…

Ten fingers interlocked, tightly sealed…

Both of them sensed each other’s nervousness, their palms were sweaty, which wasn’t very comfortable, but they both tightly grabbed each other, not daring to relax even a little bit.

At this moment, Jin Baiyan really wanted to get up, directly flip over and pounce on Jin Mo, and hug him tightly in his arms, but suddenly a voice rang in his mind, “I don’t like boys.”

This voice was Jin Mo’s voice, he recognized it.

In an instant, his mind went blank.

Jin Mo said he didn’t like boys, so what was he doing now?

Was he teasing him!

Jin Baiyan’s hand instantly stiffened, and the surging emotions in his heart suddenly subsided.

His originally excited and fiery heart felt as if it had been splashed with a basin of ice water, and he instantly felt a bone-piercing chill.

He wanted to withdraw his hand, wanted to question Jin Mo, since you don’t like boys, why are you teasing him like this.

But he didn’t dare to withdraw his hand, he still coveted this touch after all.

Even if he knew that this wasn’t what he thought it was!

Since meeting Jin Mo, he realized that all his thoughts revolved around him, and he had almost tasted all the joys, sorrows, and angers.

His feelings were complicated and he couldn’t stop!

How could Jin Mo not have noticed Jin Baiyan’s abnormality? He didn’t know what Jin Baiyan was thinking, and he didn’t know why his emotions suddenly fluctuated so much.

How could he not want to ask, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

No hurry, take it slowly!

The problem between him and Jin Baiyan was the same as the problem between him and his brother.

If he talked about it directly now, Jin Baiyan might think that he was treating him as a substitute for his brother, which would backfire.

His brother loved to overthink, and Jin Baiyan must also love to overthink.

He already understood that Jin Baiyan must be his brother, but Jin Baiyan insisted that he was Jin Baiyan, not his brother.

Now, no matter what he said, Jin Baiyan would definitely think that he was treating him like his brother!

Well, then let’s boil the frog in warm water!

Slowly boil Jin Baiyan, the frog, hehe!

Noticing that Jin Baiyan’s hand loosened a little, Jin Mo tightened his grip.

He had finally caught his brother again, how could he let him retreat again.

He wouldn’t let go even if he had to cling to him to death.

Jin Baiyan felt the strength on his hand increase a little, and his mood was mixed.

He didn’t want to let go, he was just a little scared, so he uncontrollably released a little strength, but he didn’t expect that Jin Mo would immediately notice and even chase after him immediately.

This made the heart that had just turned cold faintly produce a trace of warmth again.

So, he let go again.

Jin Mo grabbed him again.

The two of them played a game of chase like childish children.

They played with great enthusiasm.

Jin Mo let go, and Jin Baiyan would follow.

Jin Baiyan let go, and Jin Mo followed closely behind.

The moonlight outside the window shone on the hospital bed through the window lattice, hiding the two hands hanging by the bed in the darkness.

The hurried footsteps of nurses occasionally came from outside the ward, but they did not affect the two tightly clasped hands.

That night, neither of them took the initiative to let go of the other’s hand, until they fell asleep one after the other.

Even when they were asleep, their hands still stubbornly pulled on each other!
