Chapter Index

    The streets were lit by streetlights at night, and in the shadows unseen beneath them, Jiang Yifeng was hopping around, trying to pick a leaf.

    “I don’t have enough money to buy you any other gifts to take back for now… so I’ll give you a leaf.” Jiang Yifeng’s fingers touched the leaf, and with a hook of his fingertip, he tore it off.

    He happily placed the small leaf against Xie Jingshen’s chest.

    Xie Jingshen touched the spot on his chest. The leaf was against his heart, soothingly close.

    Once Jiang Yifeng was done being childish, he took Xie Jingshen’s hand again.

    The two had already circled the city looking at houses, picking and choosing, but hadn’t found anything satisfactory.

    The houses in the city center had good security measures, but were very expensive, with windows facing other windows, so close that only curtains separated the two households; however, the residential areas further away were all old-fashioned housing, with staircases and two households per floor, and the layout wasn’t very good either.

    Jiang Yifeng thought of the small house he had spent five years decorating, with good lighting, a simple layout, and although small, it was exceptionally cozy.

    “That house… I used to think that when I earned enough money, I would buy it,” Jiang Yifeng said, feeling tired from walking, and his mood had dropped a lot.

    “But I also know that the security conditions in that residential area are not good. When I become a little famous in the future, I won’t be able to continue living there.” Jiang Yifeng smiled again as he said this, “As a result, I’m not very famous yet, but I can’t live there anymore.”

    Xie Jingshen tilted his head to look at Jiang Yifeng: “In the future, when you become famous, we’ll buy it back.”

    “What if I become incredibly famous, and fans and paparazzi follow me wherever I go? Then even if I buy it, I can’t live there. I can’t buy the entire residential area, and even if I did… it would be too difficult to renovate it again.”

    Xie Jingshen looked at Jiang Yifeng’s helpless expression. He didn’t speak, but quietly thought about the layout of that residential area, and the price of a single unit.

    The two walked out of the alley and finally reached the entrance of a residential area. The landlord swiped a card to bring the two into the area, and while introducing the situation, he walked upstairs.

    “Our residential area has very good security measures. Several celebrities have bought houses here. However, the house you booked is relatively small and faces north, so the price can be reduced to the current amount.”

    The room was very small, but through the window, you could see the green paths and swaying trees in the residential area. An east-facing window could let in sunlight. Although there was no south-facing window, it still felt cozy—even coming at night, the small bedside lamp shone with a warm orange light, and the equipment in the room was also very complete.

    Jiang Yifeng pushed open the window, smelled the fragrance of grass in the air, and his eyes lit up slightly.

    “Not bad,” Xie Jingshen also smiled.

    “Are the two of you living together? Then you may need to get another access card,” the landlord asked politely. He glanced at Xie Jingshen, and then at the way Jiang Yifeng leaned against the window, tilting his head to look at Xie Jingshen, and immediately understood. He immediately added, “The bed in the room is a double bed, which is also very suitable for two people.”

    Jiang Yifeng silently closed the window and changed the subject, “It seems to be raining.”

    “If you think it’s good, I’ll send you the electronic contract,” the landlord asked anxiously.

    Jiang Yifeng nodded in satisfaction.

    This was his favorite house of the night—smaller than his previous one, and nearly 1000 yuan more expensive, but it was good in every way.

    Xie Jingshen accompanied Jiang Yifeng to review the contract. He asked a few questions carefully, and then asked the landlord to add three more detailed clauses to the contract.

    They agreed on a time for online signing, and the two planned to go back first.

    No access card was needed to leave. The landlord found an umbrella for the two of them, escorted them downstairs, and then left.

    The light rain outside was dense. Walking in the rain, Xie Jingshen and Jiang Yifeng’s shoulders were close together, walking along the tree-lined path towards the gate.

    “If this were a movie, the two of us should be kissing now,” Jiang Yifeng glanced at the surroundings, and tiptoed closer to Xie Jingshen’s face.

    Spring rain was dense.

    The small umbrella sheltered the two, and the breaths under the umbrella mingled together, hot and humid.

    When the umbrella was lifted again, Xie Jingshen’s lips were a little wet.

    He tilted the umbrella in his hand towards Jiang Yifeng’s direction, and also leaned a little towards him.

    It had only been two days, but even in just two days, Jiang Yifeng had filled Xie Jingshen’s heart completely.

    It made Xie Jingshen’s mind full of only his slightly trembling eyelashes when kissing, and his close eyebrows and eyes.

    After leaving the residential area, Jiang Yifeng took a taxi to Luo Qi’s house.

    Luo Qi’s treatment at the company was better than Jiang Yifeng’s. The place he rented was also found for him by the company—a large flat, with five bedrooms, 160 square meters of floor space, and a very spacious interior.

    When Jiang Yifeng entered the house, he almost didn’t know how to step.

    Luo Qi threw a pair of slippers to each of them, and firmly instructed them to live in separate rooms.

    “I’ve cleaned up, two rooms, everything is ready,” Luo Qi said sternly, making Xie Jingshen feel like he could really do something inappropriate.

    In reality, he even had to look up the specific steps on his phone, and his phone had no internet.

    Xie Jingshen: “…”

    “I don’t want to sleep yet,” Jiang Yifeng shook his head, took Xie Jingshen’s hand, leaned on his shoulder, looking like a victim who was so infatuated that he was unwilling to let go.

    Luo Qi was heartbroken.

    And Jiang Yifeng glanced at Xie Jingshen, his tone a little dull, “He’s going back tomorrow, I want to spend more time with him.”

    Jiang Yifeng looked at Xie Jingshen with a pair of eyes.

    He was a little reluctant to sleep.

    Xie Jingshen also smiled, “Yeah, then let’s talk for a while, let’s not sleep yet.”

    Luo Qi: “…”

    Luo Qi stared at the two people nervously, but thinking that they were in his house, and that Jiang Yifeng was an adult, he finally sighed.

    “Don’t say too much,” Luo Qi warned Xie Jingshen with his eyes, and turned around and went back to his room.

    “What’s wrong with chatting,” Jiang Yifeng complained.

    He pulled Xie Jingshen back to the room, half-kneeling on the bed and talking to Xie Jingshen.

    Jiang Yifeng planned not to sleep tonight, just to stay with Xie Jingshen like this. Whether it was watching TV and chatting, or simply leaning on his shoulder and pulling on the ends of his hair, Jiang Yifeng found it particularly novel and happy.

    “I have so many favorite movies that I can share with you,” Jiang Yifeng said, and then he was lying in Xie Jingshen’s arms. The two were close together watching a mobile phone, with a small screen playing a youth romance drama.

    The cold night in spring was very cold. The two took off their coats and simply squeezed into a quilt.

    Xie Jingshen hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand to hug Jiang Yifeng in his arms, his chin resting on his shoulder, and accompanied Jiang Yifeng to quietly enjoy the movie.

    When the male and female protagonists in the movie confessed to each other and squeezed together, kissing with their heads down, Jiang Yifeng looked at Xie Jingshen.

    Xie Jingshen pinched his chin and kissed him, and Jiang Yifeng blinked happily.

    He felt that the two of them were a bit too sweet.

    It was like the first time meeting in an online relationship—even if they used to call each other husband and wife casually online, they always had to restrain themselves a little offline. The first time they met, they went to the cinema, or faced each other in a commercial street to drink milk tea. They might even have to call the other person’s name with shyness and hesitation.

    However, when they met, they held hands, hugged, kissed, and did everything.

    They didn’t go to a dark cinema to watch a movie, but squeezed into a quilt to watch people fall in love on a mobile phone.

    Too sweet.

    They were sweet from the first time they met, and anyone who looked at him could know his thoughts.

    Jiang Yifeng rubbed his eyes annoyedly.

    “What’s wrong? Are your eyes uncomfortable?” Xie Jingshen put down the phone, “Uncomfortable?”

    He pressed Jiang Yifeng’s eyelids with his hand, carefully looking at the whites of his eyes.

    Jiang Yifeng slept so long yesterday, but he had been staying up too late, and there were still red blood streaks in his eyes.

    Xie Jingshen let go.

    “Don’t watch it, go to sleep.”

    “I wanted to let you see my favorite youth movie,” Jiang Yifeng curled up, kicking Xie Jingshen’s calf unhappily.

    But Xie Jingshen hugged Jiang Yifeng even tighter, “Then we’ll watch it and then sleep.”

    He turned the volume of the phone down a bit, tilted his head to watch the movie, but also paid attention to the person next to him.

    Jiang Yifeng’s biological clock was very punctual. He was already sleepy when it was past ten o’clock. The sound of the TV was turned down, and Xie Jingshen deliberately didn’t speak. Before long, he was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes.

    Xie Jingshen watched Jiang Yifeng fall asleep, and then silently took the phone, finished watching the rest of the film himself, and carefully put the phone aside.

    He wanted to get up, but felt his clothes being pulled.

    Jiang Yifeng was asleep, but his palm was still tightly gripping his clothes, and he looked very cute with his eyes closed, even his lip beads were round and beautiful.

    Xie Jingshen thought of the last scene he had just watched.

    He looked at Jiang Yifeng again.

    “Kissing isn’t just touching lips.”

    Xie Jingshen said very seriously.

    “It’s about kissing inside the mouth.”

    Jiang Yifeng slept soundly and heard nothing at all.

    Xie Jingshen’s clothes were being held, and he couldn’t break free, so he simply lowered his head to get closer to Jiang Yifeng.

    His nose was already touching Jiang Yifeng’s cheek, and his lips slowly approached.

    Xie Jingshen licked Jiang Yifeng’s lips, and then gently bit his lip.

    Then he tilted his head to look at Jiang Yifeng, and couldn’t help but lift Jiang Yifeng’s hair and smiled, “I’m very lucky, I’ll share a little luck with you by kissing you.”

    After saying that, Xie Jingshen raised his hand to pinch Jiang Yifeng’s face again.

    He had wanted to do this when he was looking at Jiang Yifeng on his phone.

    Jiang Yifeng’s face was very soft, and it would sink in as soon as you pinched it. His skin was very white, but his fingers could easily leave faint red marks.

    He got closer, stuck to Jiang Yifeng, and then quietly looked at him.

    Until dawn.

    Jiang Yifeng woke up on time, and saw Xie Jingshen half-drooping his eyelids, looking sleepy. He realized that he had fallen asleep again.

    It was the same when guarding the night last time, and it was the same now.

    Jiang Yifeng unhappily hugged the person a little more onto the bed. Xie Jingshen opened his eyes slightly to look at him, and Jiang Yifeng said seriously, “You sleep for a while, I’ll go buy breakfast.”

    “I want to stay with you.”

    “Sleep for a while, there’s still a long time today.”

    Jiang Yifeng helped Xie Jingshen cover the quilt.

    He tiptoed out, and used Luo Qi’s kitchen to make three breakfasts.

    Jiang Yifeng ate one first, and then picked up another one, preparing to go back to the room.

    As soon as Luo Qi came downstairs, he saw Jiang Yifeng carrying breakfast.

    “Where is he?” Luo Qi asked suspiciously.

    “Oh, Brother Luo.” Jiang Yifeng pointed to the breakfast on the table, “Breakfast is ready, he’s still sleeping, I’ll send it to him first. I’ve already eaten, no need to leave any for me.”

    After saying that, Jiang Yifeng quickly returned to the room, his steps were light and he moved like a fly.

    The author has something to say:

    Although President Xie lacks theoretical experience, President Xie is fully equipped and has strong hard power.

    President Xie: Only lacking theoretical experience, I will study when I go back!
