SM Chapter 69

Chapter 69: What Relationship Do We Have Now?

Sheng Mingqian finished reading the note, both amused and annoyed.

Ye Lai runs off after sleeping with him, and even says he’s looking forward to their next night together.

Well, he’s also looking forward to their next night.

Next time, he’ll make sure Ye Lai doesn’t have the strength to run.

Sheng Mingqian carefully folded the note and called Ye Lai again. Fortunately, Ye Lai answered, so he really just wanted to go out for a walk.

“Are you awake?” There was a faint sound of wind on the phone, wrapping Ye Lai’s rustling voice, like a feather tickling Sheng Mingqian’s ear.

Sheng Mingqian immediately remembered last night, Ye Lai hovering near his ear, his breath as light as silk, just like now, so captivating.

Now, just listening to Ye Lai’s voice, Sheng Mingqian felt a surge of heat rushing through his body, and the color in his eyes deepened.

“Mingqian? Are you awake? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Ye Lai only heard Sheng Mingqian’s suppressed breathing and didn’t hear his response, so he asked again.

“Awake,” Sheng Mingqian forced down the heat flowing through his body.

“Did you see the note I left for you?” Ye Lai asked with a playful tone.

“I saw it.” Sheng Mingqian was still holding the note in his hand, rubbing his fingertips on the paper.

“That’s good.” Ye Lai hugged the hermosha in his arms, bringing his nose close to smell it, and the faint floral fragrance went straight into his lungs.

Just listening to Ye Lai’s voice, Sheng Mingqian knew that he was really relaxed now. Even the urgency and nervousness of not finding anyone after waking up slowly relaxed, and the heartbeat that had been hanging in his throat returned to its original place.

“Where are you?” Sheng Mingqian took a deep breath.

“I’m on the road.”

“Who did you go to Bincheng with?”

“I went with Xiao Bo.”

Sheng Mingqian knew Guang Haobo and knew that he and Ye Lai were just friends, but he was still dissatisfied with him “kidnapping” Ye Lai.

“Send me a location when you arrive.”

Ye Lai tilted his head to look out the window. They were almost at the beach. Guang Haobo had been propping his chin up, looking out the window.

“Huh? Okay? Send me a location.”

Ye Lai hummed in agreement, and then heard Sheng Mingqian say, “I’m also looking forward to our next night…”

Ye Lai giggled twice on the phone. After laughing, he hung up without waiting for Sheng Mingqian’s reaction.

Two days later, Bincheng.

The sky was clear and bright.

Ye Lai and Guang Haobo sat on the old trestle by the dock, looking up with half-closed eyes, facing the sun.

The sound of ship horns, sometimes near and sometimes far, reached their ears. Seagulls glided overhead, and the salty sea breeze swept past their noses. Their bodies swayed back and forth with the wind, as if the wooden planks of the trestle under their butts were moving on their own.

The sea surface was illuminated by the sun, creating colorful light waves.

It was extremely beautiful.

“Comfortable,” Ye Lai breathed out softly, tapping the reef with his toes in a rhythmic pattern.

“Comfortable,” Guang Haobo echoed.

After the two of them said that, no one knew who started it, but they raised their necks and laughed. At first, it was a soft laugh, but later it became more and more unrestrained, laughing so hard that they leaned forward and backward, their chests trembling.

After laughing enough, Ye Lai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His vision, having been dried by the sun, went from blurry to clear. The waves surged up, and the waves splashed on his legs, wetting his trouser legs, but he didn’t care.

Unconsciously, Ye Lai thought of Sheng Mingqian again, thinking of the note he wrote. Not seeing Sheng Mingqian’s reaction in person was a bit of a regret.

Ye Lai took out his cell phone and opened the video from the morning news.

The video was spliced ​​together in two parts. The first part was them getting out of the car, Sheng Mingqian putting his arm around his shoulder, and the two of them entering the door intimately. The second part was in the master bedroom on the second floor, the curtains wide open, and the two of them leaning by the window, kissing passionately.

Ye Lai didn’t look at the comments much. Almost all of them were blessings. Now, his and Sheng Mingqian’s CP fans had completely occupied the high ground and were celebrating Sheng Mingqian’s successful pursuit of his wife.

Ye Lai clicked his tongue.

Ye Lai had watched this video many times, and he didn’t feel embarrassed or get tired of it. At that time, Sheng Mingqian held his waist and the back of his head, and had no intention of letting him escape.

But he still “escaped” now.

Over the years, he and Sheng Mingqian had never been separated like this before. In the past, it was he who couldn’t leave.

After their divorce, the two of them were still entangled with each other. They would see each other in the morning or evening, and there was always a reason to tie them together.

Now, Ye Lai thought that he would have a sense of distance from Sheng Mingqian, but after thinking about it carefully, it was gone.

It was unrelated to distance, an invisible entanglement.

For years, he had been watching Sheng Mingqian from behind, only daring to hide secretly in the shadows, tiptoeing to take a glance. He didn’t even dare to show his feelings in the sun, cautious, careful, fearful, and yearning.

At this moment, Ye Lai realized for the first time that not having to keep it only in his heart, a relationship that could be put in the sun, would make him so relaxed and fascinated.

It wasn’t an obsession, it was a fascination.

Although Guang Haobo’s hometown was in Bincheng, his parents had passed away many years ago. After so many years of returning, he only had one friend, Ye Lai, by his side. They were still looking at houses, and the two of them were temporarily staying in a hotel.

After arriving in Bincheng, Ye Lai was full of inspiration, and he wrote manuscripts until late at night for several days in a row. When he was happy, he would hum a few tunes, and when he was in a good mood, he would sing a few lines.

He wrote until one o’clock in the evening before Ye Lai took a shower and went to bed. Before going to bed, he glanced at his phone. Two hours ago, Sheng Mingqian sent him a photo from Nancheng.

In the photo, Sheng Mingqian was holding a green sycamore leaf. Sheng Mingqian was not in the photo. In the corner of the photo were his slender and powerful fingers. It seemed like he had just picked up a leaf on the roadside because he thought it was beautiful and wanted to share it with Ye Lai.

Ye Lai had just fallen asleep when the doorbell rang. Ye Lai got up again, put on his bathrobe, and yawned as he walked to the door. He peeked through the peephole, and the little bit of sleepiness he had was gone.

Sheng Mingqian was outside.

Ye Lai opened the door, “You…”

Sheng Mingqian always stopped him from finishing his words. He bent down and blocked his mouth, pushed the suitcase in his hand into the room with force, and the suitcase rolled for a distance before stopping by the sofa.

Sheng Mingqian picked up Ye Lai in one fell swoop, held Ye Lai’s back with both hands and walked inside, kicked the door shut with his foot, with a bang, Ye Lai’s breathing was unsteady.

Sheng Mingqian kissed like a ferocious beast, but he didn’t dare to do anything real, so he could only tighten his teeth and suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

“You, why are you here?”

The sight in front of Ye Lai was hazy, and he couldn’t see clearly. Sheng Mingqian let go of him, and he had room to breathe. He opened his mouth and breathed deeply, while asking.

Sheng Mingqian knelt on the bed, took out the note Ye Lai wrote to him from his pocket.

These days, that piece of paper had been in his pocket. Sheng Mingqian would reach in and touch it from time to time, and take it out to read when he had time. Now the paper was old and wrinkled, and the color of the creases had deepened.

Sheng Mingqian propped himself up on the bed with one hand, opened the paper with one hand, turned it over and faced Ye Lai: “Did you write this, looking forward to our next night, now is the next night.”

“You, do you want to, come so soon.” Ye Lai’s breathing was still unsteady. He had just been kissed by Sheng Mingqian until he was short of oxygen, and he could only say one sentence in two parts.

“Three days,” Sheng Mingqian frowned, looking at Ye Lai’s eyes, looking pitiful, aggrieved, “Three days is my limit, I came as soon as the promotional activities in Nancheng were over.”

Ye Lai only received Sheng Mingqian’s message before going to bed, and now, when he woke up, the person was right in front of his eyes, hearing his voice and feeling his breath.

The expectations brought into the dream, as well as those slender fingers that were shaking in front of his eyes in the dream, were like a gentle spring breeze at this moment, blowing into his heart…

Ye Lai liked this feeling very much, his fingers clenched and grabbed the hem of Sheng Mingqian’s clothes.

Ye Lai’s reaction couldn’t deceive anyone, especially since they were too familiar with each other. Sheng Mingqian saw Ye Lai’s emotions.

Compared to that night, Sheng Mingqian had made up his mind this time.

Sheng Mingqian held Ye Lai’s ankle and asked him: “Tell me, what kind of relationship do we have now.”

Ye Lai squinted his eyes, pierced by the light above his head, without focusing, blinked hard, and the Sheng Mingqian in front of him became completely clear: “A bed relationship.”

“Is that so?” Sheng Mingqian played a trick and tickled Ye Lai’s soles a few times.

“Yes…” Ye Lai’s soles were itchy, and he giggled a few times. The word “yes” had just been uttered when he laughed and scattered into pieces. The laughter floated in the room and finally entered Sheng Mingqian’s ears.

“Sheng Mingqian, you bastard.” Ye Lai’s eyes turned red with laughter, glaring at him, humming and raising his foot to kick him, but in the end, Sheng Mingqian grabbed his ankle and held it down again.

Ye Lai knew that his strength was not as good as Sheng Mingqian’s, so he simply stopped resisting.

Sheng Mingqian leaned over and kissed the scar on Ye Lai’s instep, like kissing a fragile vase.

Sheng Mingqian didn’t dare to really anger Ye Lai. Before he came, he was thinking about making him unable to run this time. When he really got to this point, he was afraid that Ye Lai would be upset and deny their current “bed relationship,” and then say that he wasn’t looking forward to “their night,” which would be really troublesome.

Forget it, forget it, a bed relationship is a bed relationship, it’s better than having no relationship at all.

What is this called? It can also be regarded as a lingering attachment. Their days in the future are still long, and he can slowly accompany Ye Lai, day by day.

Since it was a bed relationship, then he couldn’t “lose” Ye Lai.

Sheng Mingqian had work arrangements the next day, and he couldn’t move them. They were all contracts that had been signed in advance, so he got up before dawn.

Ye Lai was too tired, and he didn’t wake up when he heard the alarm clock. His lips moved, and he hummed softly. Sheng Mingqian picked up his cell phone and turned off the alarm clock. He didn’t lean over and kiss him on the forehead, and touched his face with his palm until Ye Lai pursed his lips and fell asleep again.

Ye Lai felt a little itchy and rubbed his chin back and forth in Sheng Mingqian’s palm.

Before leaving, Sheng Mingqian checked Ye Lai’s body. Although Ye Lai was not injured, it still made his heart ache to look at him.

Sheng Mingqian brought ointment with him and carefully applied the medicine to Ye Lai before leaving.

Ye Lai slept until noon, and finally Guang Haobo couldn’t help it and knocked on his door before he woke up.

Guang Haobo stood at the door, stunned, and pointed to his eyes: “Ye Lai, your eyes, why are they so red?”

“Are they very red?” Ye Lai only felt that his eyelids were sore. There was a small refrigerator in the hotel room. Ye Lai turned around and took a bottle of ice water from it to apply to his eyes. He sat back on the sofa, still drowsy: “I was writing something last night, and I stayed up late.”

In addition to his eyes, Ye Lai’s voice was also hoarse, and Guang Haobo was even more worried: “Are you sick? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

“No, no, there’s no need to go to the hospital,” Ye Lai opened his eyes, sat up straight to make himself a little more awake, but his eyes were still staring straight, staring at the empty, messy big bed, “It’s really okay, I won’t stay up late tonight.”

Ye Lai thought to himself that he would not “stay up late” at night, and he continued to “stay up late” at night. He didn’t expect Sheng Mingqian to come again at night.

Later, for a week in a row, Sheng Mingqian came every night and left during the day.

They had never been so indulgent since they got married. Sheng Mingqian had the intention of making up for all the things he had missed over the years, and Ye Lai kept groaning every night.

As soon as the doorbell rang, Ye Lai’s body tensed up subconsciously, his throat tightened, and his legs were softening.

If he didn’t open the door for Sheng Mingqian, Sheng Mingqian would stand outside and wait. He knew that Ye Lai was soft-hearted and could hold out for half an hour at most.

“Don’t toss me anymore, go open a room and sleep by yourself,” Ye Lai said through the door panel.

“Okay, I won’t toss you anymore,” Sheng Mingqian outside the door agreed very readily, “Lai Lai, open the door, there are no rooms in the hotel today, I’m a little sleepy, I just want to have a good sleep.”

Ye Lai held the doorknob and thought about it. His heart softened, and he opened the door for Sheng Mingqian.

As a result, the person who had just said that he was sleepy pounced on him again…
