OVTTGTBE Chapter 44

Traveling (2): Flirting

Traveling (2): Flirting

After showering in the hotel, Bai Yao emerged feeling refreshed, only to find he had to change into the clean clothes Liu Yucheng had packed in his backpack.

Because the laundromat downstairs said that whether it was your old clothes or newly bought clothes, you could only come back tomorrow morning to pick them up. The shop was very busy and wouldn’t be able to wash them tonight.

“I didn’t expect you to not even bring underwear. Luckily, I brought a few extra new pairs.”

Liu Yucheng suppressed a smile. “Is this how you usually travel?”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Bai Yao forcibly changed the subject. “You said we’re going up the mountain tomorrow? Is his grave in the mountains?”

“We’ll take a bus up the mountain, and then walk a section of mountain road. But the mountain road isn’t difficult to walk, the key is…”

Liu Yucheng moved closer to him and said in a low voice, “We have to pass through a large cemetery. Tomorrow’s weather forecast says that although it won’t rain on the mountain, the sky will be very gloomy.”

The expression on Bai Yao’s face instantly became interesting, and he lost the cocky attitude he had just had.

After a long while, he whispered, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

If he had known earlier, he would have brought those two bodyguard sisters with him, which would definitely make him feel safer.

“Scared?”

“Scared my ass!”

As Bai Yao spoke, he had already started searching for peach wood swords for self-defense on the mountain on a certain app.

“Then what are you searching for now?” Liu Yucheng sat down next to him and asked with a smile.

“I, I’m searching for nearby restaurants… After eating so much instant noodles, of course I have to have a good meal tonight. Do you have any suggestions?”

“Bai Yao.”

Liu Yucheng tentatively reached out, wrapped his arms around his waist, leaned close to his ear, and said, “Do you remember the first time we rented a room outside of school? It rained heavily that day too.”

“Tch.”

Bai Yao didn’t want to fight with him at the moment, so he stood up and walked to the window. “Why are you like a scumbag, wanting to get handsy as soon as we rent a room? Of course I remember the first time we rented a room. If it weren’t for you, I might still be straight.”

“You can only fool yourself with those words.”

Liu Yucheng frowned slightly. “You weren’t straight to begin with, otherwise why didn’t you dodge when I kissed you that night?”

“I was just slow to react.”

Bai Yao finished his explanation with a straight face, and said directly, “Besides, we’ve already broken up. The reason I’m staying in the same room with you tonight is because you said I shouldn’t waste money. If you have any other ulterior motives, get out immediately.”

“Bai Yao, do you like someone else?”

Liu Yucheng stood up and walked straight to Bai Yao. “Is it that friend of yours? The one you said was surnamed Duan?”

This was the first time the man in front of him had shown such dominance outside of the bed, and Bai Yao was so shocked that his heart skipped a beat.

“Whether I do or don’t is none of your business, um—”

Liu Yucheng pinched Bai Yao’s chin, stuck his fingers into Bai Yao’s mouth, and blocked the rest of his sentence.

“Why can he call you by your childhood name, but I can’t?”

“Are you closer to him?”

Bai Yao was trapped by him by the window, and couldn’t help but widen his eyes, shouting unclearly, “That was so long ago! You still remember it now??”

“It’s only been about a week.”

Liu Yucheng said with a straight face in a low voice.

It had to be said, Bai Yao’s tongue was really soft.

Thinking of Bai Yao’s relationship with that person surnamed Duan, and thinking that others would touch such a soft tongue in the future, Liu Yucheng felt terrible.

Blinded by jealousy, he didn’t even realize that Bai Yao was behaving uncharacteristically, not closing his teeth to bite his fingers, nor raising his legs to kick him.

“I’ll say it again—who I’m with and what I do is none of your business! Um, don’t—!!”

Bai Yao said unclearly, and with every word he said, Liu Yucheng’s anger accumulated even more.

“Bai Yao, although you often work out, you know that you are not as strong as me.”

Liu Yucheng took his hand back. The next second, he directly picked up Bai Yao by the waist, walked to the bed and threw him on the bed. “Tell me, did you sleep together during winter vacation?”

Bai Yao stared at him for a while, then raised his arm to cover his eyes, and couldn’t help but let out a burst of snickers.

He wasn’t afraid of Liu Yucheng looking like this at all.

On the contrary, his heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

If the two people’s relationship hadn’t broken down, and if those things in the middle hadn’t happened, he might have done it with Liu Yucheng like crazy until dawn tonight.

Just like when the two were first together, the second time they went out to rent a room.

Bai Yao suddenly laughed like this, but Liu Yucheng became suspicious.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing.”

Bai Yao reached out and grabbed Liu Yucheng’s collar, warning with a smile that was not a smile: “Because I’ve known him longer and we’re good brothers. If you understand, now, immediately, get off me.”

Liu Yucheng propped his hands on the bed, his eyelashes twitching slightly: “I was the first person to meet you, but you say you’ve known him longer.”

Bai Yao lay down and tilted his head. “Liu Yucheng, are you bewitched? Next, you won’t tell me that we actually met when we were children, but I just don’t remember, right?”

“…No.”

Liu Yucheng reminded: “My mother is friends with your mother, have you forgotten?”

“So what? We’re both men, it’s not like we have a betrothal. Get away from me!”

Just as Liu Yucheng pinched both of Bai Yao’s wrists, Bai Yao’s phone on the bed vibrated.

It was a voice call from Li Jinyang.

“Tch, get up, I want to answer the phone.”

Bai Yao pulled back one hand, picked up the phone and answered the voice call: “Hello?”

“Hello, Brother Yao, how are you? Is it going well?”

“It’s okay, just arrived at the hotel.”

“The group chat @ you, but you haven’t said anything. Who is with you? He didn’t bully you, did he? You have to protect yourself!”

Li Jinyang’s voice was very loud, and Liu Yucheng heard it, and silently glanced at Bai Yao.

So Bai Yao told them about this trip.

“Of course I know how to protect myself.”

Liu Yucheng didn’t continue to grab him, but squatted down in front of Bai Yao.

From his eyes, Bai Yao read a hint of sarcasm.

Although Liu Yucheng didn’t speak, his eyes seemed to be saying, look, I haven’t done anything to you yet, but your body is much more honest than your mouth.

Seeing that he raised his hand, Bai Yao quickly tried his best to cover the pants on his body. “How, how are you guys? How are you spending your vacation?”

He raised his leg and kicked Liu Yucheng, but he kicked empty several times, and Liu Yucheng grabbed both feet.

“Hey, that’s how we’re spending it. Tao Lin and I still have two subjects to test, and we’ll test after the vacation. Hey, do you have any delicious or fun things there?”

Li Jinyang started the chat mode.

“I don’t know yet, I’ll investigate later. If there are any special products, I will definitely bring them to you.”

Bai Yao didn’t pay attention, and Liu Yucheng confiscated his pants.

He covered the microphone and grinned at Liu Yucheng as a warning. Liu Yucheng pretended not to see it, and directly rolled the pants in his hand into a ball and threw them on another bed.

“Hehe, I’ve already investigated for you. There seems to be a local unpopular dessert called something something cake. See if there is any for sale.”

“You, you, damn you, your mouth, why, so greedy…”

“Brother Yao, what’s wrong with you? Why are you stuttering?”

“Nothing.”

Bai Yao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, “I’m, I’m fighting, wait, wait a minute, I’ll call you back.”

Pressing the hang-up button, Bai Yao cursed and pressed on Liu Yucheng’s head.

…

After a while, Bai Yao irritably threw a large wad of paper in his hand into the trash can. “Damn, turn your face away, who told you to look at me?”

Liu Yucheng rubbed the corner of his mouth with his finger, as if he was rewarded, and looked satisfied: “Thank you for the treat.”

Bai Yao was about to explode with anger, put on his pants and raised his leg to kick, Liu Yucheng didn’t struggle, and fell directly to the ground.

What not messing around, it’s all lies.

“Where the hell did you get the face to say that to me?!”

Bai Yao stepped on his chest with bare feet. “Say it, how do you want to die? For the sake of being classmates, I’ll give you a decent one.”

Liu Yucheng’s mouth was bleeding. When he opened his mouth, a touch of bright red slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth. “Take off your pants and deny people. Can this sentence be returned to you?”

If Bai Yao’s anger was only 70 to 80 percent just now, then this sentence was a pot of oil, which directly poured his anger to the peak.

Bai Yao slapped him.

Liu Yucheng covered his face, staring blankly at him.

This was completely different from the slap in the lab before. The force was much greater, and Bai Yao didn’t continue to beat him, but instead let him go.

“I’m sorry, I thought, you were flirting with me…”

Seeing Bai Yao take off his clothes, put on the hotel bathrobe and shoes for going out, Liu Yucheng immediately got up from the ground, and regardless of the blood in his mouth, he tried to explain with a smile: “Look, you said I deny people after taking off my pants, but you know best whether I denied you or not…”

“You were also enjoying it just now, grabbing my hair so hard, I can feel it…”

Liu Yucheng quickly walked around to the front of him, with his back against the door blocking the door: “Bai Yao, I beg you, don’t go.”

Bai Yao was wearing a bathrobe, his backpack was already on, and his phone was also put away. He opened his mouth and managed to spit out two words: “Get out of the way.”

Liu Yucheng raised his hand to hold his face, and then he realized that Bai Yao’s eyes and the tip of his nose were already red.

“Why are you crying…”

Seeing his expression, Liu Yucheng couldn’t control his voice either, and choked up: “If you want to hit me, hit me as you like, until you feel relieved, I only beg you not to go.”

“I’m afraid of getting my hands dirty if I hit you.”

Bai Yao forcibly resisted letting his tears fall, and his voice became a little hoarse: “Do you know how much I regret not bringing bodyguards out?”

“Can you… not say that.”

Liu Yucheng couldn’t hold it anymore, and tears burst out like a dam: “This is the first time we’ve traveled together.”

“Who’s traveling with you?”

Bai Yao’s fingertips dug deeply into his palm. “I’ve never regarded this trip as a trip. Do you know why I’m looking for Cheng Tianyang’s grave?”

“Because, I want to scatter his ashes, I’ve wanted to since I was a child! Do you know how much I hate him?”

“In this world, I have no other relatives, and no one loves me. My mother doesn’t actually love me, and she never expected my birth. I know all this, because she has always hated Cheng Tianyang! She is good to me, just… fulfilling her duty as a mother, but I always have half of Cheng Tianyang.”

Bai Yao shouted while crying: “This is my fate! No one loves me! So, Liu Yucheng, put away your hypocrisy! It really makes me feel sick!”

Liu Yucheng punched the wall, and the “crackling” sound of the bones instantly woke Bai Yao up a lot.

“Bai Yao, you only know that she didn’t expect your birth.”

“Then do you know why I was born into this world? When my mother was pregnant, her age was the same as Aunt Bai’s, both 19 years old.”

Liu Yucheng rarely mentioned these things, and Bai Yao couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He gently wiped the tears on Bai Yao’s face, and Bai Yao’s peripheral vision also saw the red patch on his hand.

“My birth is to accompany you and love you. Does it sound pretty casual?”

“But it’s all true, just like, my mother wants to atone for her sins and wants to love Aunt Bai. After all… if it wasn’t for her, Aunt Bai wouldn’t have met Cheng Tianyang, that scumbag, and wouldn’t have gotten pregnant at the beautiful age of 19.”

At this moment, Liu Yucheng was like a man made of water, and his tears couldn’t stop at all, but the corners of his mouth were raised upward. “I’m sorry, I’m actually a very bad person… When I was dating you, I didn’t do anything.”

“I didn’t know these things until after you broke up with me.”
