ASSHKHME Chapter 108
by Volare## Chapter 108: Little Neurotic
After coming out, Xie Yu didn’t go directly to Chen Zhuo. Instead, he went home first.
He packed all his game consoles, tablets, Parcheesi, and treasured comic books into a suitcase like he was moving, and took them to the Third Hospital.
Xu Qingyou hadn’t left yet. He was sitting on the small sofa, working on the laptop his assistant had brought. Chen Zhuo was leaning against the headboard, looking at the architectural design drawings for the Taifeng Group’s latest project. There were many things that couldn’t be learned from textbooks, such as the subtle ingenuity of the designers’ practical operations.
Hearing the sound of the wheels getting closer and closer on the floor, they both looked up at the door.
Xie Yu opened the door and saw such a harmonious scene, and his petty jealousy immediately flared up. He looked at Chen Zhuo with resentment.
Chen Zhuo closed the folder, wanting to appear calm, but couldn’t help but anxiously ask, “How are Aunt Cheng and your sister? Did you get beaten again?”
In front of Xu Qingyou, Xie Yu felt a little embarrassed and tried to cover it up, “My mom and sister are recovering well, and I… I didn’t get beaten! Today’s meeting was particularly friendly and harmonious!”
Chen Zhuo moved his lips, about to continue asking something, but saw Xie Yu winking at him frantically, making him want to laugh, “Does your eye hurt?”
Xie Yu silently pursed his lips into a straight line, put down the suitcase, and pretended to be polite and kind to Xu Qingyou, “Brother Qingyou, thank you for staying here with Xiaozhuo today. It must have taken up a lot of your work time, right?”
From some perspectives, Xie Yu could be considered flexible, after all, not many people can call their rival “brother.”
Xu Qingyou was too lazy to play along with this childish brat. He got up and said, “Xiaozhuo, I’ll leave first. I’ll come see you again tomorrow. Call me if you need anything.”
Chen Zhuo glared at Xie Yu, then said to Xu Qingyou, “Okay, Brother Qingyou, drive carefully on the way back. Thank you for coming to take care of me. This file is for you.”
Xu Qingyou took the project design proposal, “If you find it helpful, I’ll send you the design drawings that are not subject to confidentiality agreements later for you to study. This one is a company secret, so I won’t leave it with you.”
Chen Zhuo nodded, “Okay, I understand, thank you, Brother.”
“Okay, I’ll leave first.” Xu Qingyou put the proposal and the computer into his briefcase and said to Chen Zhuo, “Rest well, and listen to the doctor obediently. Nothing is more important than health.”
Chen Zhuo hummed in agreement and lifted the blanket, wanting to get out of bed to see him off, but Xu Qingyou stopped him with a raised hand. He looked at Xie Yu, “Xie Yu, see me out.”
Xie Yu escorted Xu Qingyou to the elevator lobby. Xu Qingyou said, “Don’t let this happen again. If you’re a man, stop doing these mindless things. And your parents, you solve it yourself, don’t involve Xiaozhuo.”
Xie Yu said, “I know, there won’t be a next time.”
The elevator door opened. Xu Qingyou didn’t say anything else and walked straight in, turning around.
As the elevator door was about to close automatically, Xie Yu looked at him and said seriously, “Thank you, I mean it, thank you for being so good to Chen Zhuo.”
Xu Qingyou stared at him steadily, and in the last second before the door closed, said expressionlessly, “You don’t need to thank me, I’m his brother.”
Xie Yu looked at the descending display screen, “Tch, never pretended to be him.”
Xie Yu stretched his stiff shoulders and neck and walked towards the ward. He hadn’t slept all night. His usually carefree brain suddenly became delicate, and he was afraid all night long. Afraid that his mother would have an accident, afraid that Chen Zhuo’s knife would really cut down…
If he could be as mature as Xu Qingyou, maybe these problems could be effectively avoided.
Xie Yu rubbed his face and sighed deeply. When he looked up, he found Chen Zhuo peeking at him from the ward door.
He couldn’t help but smile and walked over quickly, “What are you doing? Spying on me?”
Chen Zhuo pulled Xie Yu into the ward, closed the door, and hugged him tightly, muffled, “I thought you… wouldn’t come anymore.”
Xie Yu hugged Chen Zhuo back, wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his head in his neck, smelling the citrus scent mixed with the smell of medicine, and whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense, how could I not come?”
Chen Zhuo was held tightly by him, feeling the familiar and safe embrace, “Didn’t your aunt and uncle tell you to break up with me? They… must be very angry, right?”
Xie Yu kneaded the flesh through the thin hospital gown, “They didn’t say anything. Don’t think too much. I will prove to them that you are the person I’ve decided on for this lifetime, regardless of gender, related to Chen Zhuo.”
Chen Zhuo straightened up from his arms, looked into Xie Yu’s eyes, “Didn’t say anything? How could that be? Shouldn’t they say something like ‘If you don’t break up with Chen Zhuo, we’ll sever our parent-child relationship’?”
Xie Yu laughed, “Really didn’t say anything, neither agreed nor opposed. Don’t worry, I’m here. You call me ‘husband,’ and I’ll definitely be worthy of that title. Just don’t think about anything else, and stay healthy.”
But to be honest, with his mother’s uncompromising personality, not expressing any opinion made Xie Yu even more uneasy, but he would take it one step at a time. Every cloud has a silver lining.
Chen Zhuo rubbed his nose, “I thought we were done for.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xie Yu suddenly bent down and picked him up, carrying him horizontally to the bed. He said in a ruffianly tone, “We have four eggs between us, it’s not that easy to be done for.”
Chen Zhuo was speechless and wanted to laugh, pushing him, “Damn, are you sick? Neurotic.”
Xie Yu laughed, “The one who’s neurotic now is you. Hey? Chen Xiaozhuo, you wouldn’t beat me, would you? I’m scared.”
Chen Zhuo’s emotions were a little low and negative, but he was angered by his few words and scolded with a laugh, “Get out! You’re so annoying!”
Xie Yu cupped his face and kissed him stickily, “I’ll annoy you, just annoy you, little neurotic, I love you.”
Chen Zhuo was disgusted by the saliva all over his face and pushed him away, but couldn’t push him away, and was forcibly pinned on the hospital bed for a messy kiss.
The two of them laughed and made a fuss together.
Even if there are still mists in the future, as long as they are together, nothing is a big deal.
The warm sunshine stretched their shadows very long, reflecting a happy appearance on the white wall.

Afternoon in a coffee shop.
At a two-person coffee table by the window, Ling Xu opened his mouth, “Mr. Xu, I’m sorry, but I can’t do psychological counseling for you anymore.”
Xu Qingyou didn’t show much emotion, took a sip of coffee, and waited for him to continue.
Ling Xu smiled frankly, “There’s no particular reason. I fell in love with the secret admirer in the story you told, which is a major taboo in this profession. Fortunately, you don’t have any psychological problems. But if I continue, I’m afraid my professional qualifications will be at risk.”
Xu Qingyou paused with the coffee in his hand and looked up at Ling Xu.
The light and shadow outside the window flickered on Ling Xu’s face.
He just met Xu Qingyou’s rare questioning gaze so directly and smiled, “Sorry, I don’t like secret admiration. Did I scare you?”
