    ## Chapter 118: Flames

    The owner of the Sichuan restaurant was an overseas Chinese who had already immigrated. When he saw them, he happily chatted with them about their hometown. When he learned that they were both from Jiangbei, he was surprised and said that his wife was also from Jiangbei. In the end, he gave them a full 30% discount when they paid the bill.

    After dinner, Chen Zhuo and Xie Yu strolled hand in hand in Times Square. In the evening, they climbed to the observation deck of the Empire State Building and admired the most beautiful sunset and evening glow.

    As night fell, Chen Zhuo looked at the brightly lit steel forest in front of him, “Xie Yu, recently I often think that the world is so big, and it’s so wonderful that we, so small, can meet.”

    Xie Yu put his arm around his shoulder and gently caressed him, “Little Zhuo’er, you will become more and more excellent, but the one standing by your side, accompanying you to see the world, can only be me, and will only be me.”

    Chen Zhuo chuckled softly, tilted his head and plunged into Xie Yu’s bright and burning eyes: “Of course, I only belong to you.”

    The two completed the check-in procedures at the hotel front desk, swiped their card with calm expressions and went to the elevator.

    The numbers on the display screen rolled upwards, they looked at each other, and saw the same excitement and agitation in each other’s eyes.

    Entering the room, the moment the door was closed, desire was like a flood that had been released, instantly submerging and devouring them.

    They couldn’t wait to hug and kiss each other, tearing at each other’s clothes, stumbling in the darkness towards the inside.

    When the two men vented their emotions, it seemed completely unrelated to gentleness.

    Like restless beasts, like erupting volcanoes.

    Using love as firewood, using longing as a torch, raging flames burst into flames, and reason turned to ashes.

    They embraced each other tightly in a foreign country.

    Fingernails scratched across the glass, making a sharp sound.

    Chen Zhuo looked at the orange-red horizon in the distance, his throat seemed to be split, hoarse: “Xie Yu, it’s dawn.”

    After saying that, his head tilted and he fell into Xie Yu’s palm.

    Xie Yu held Chen Zhuo’s shoulders and held him in his arms.

    For a long time.

    Xie Yu pressed against Chen Zhuo’s back, lowered his head and kissed his shoulder, and sighed, “Good morning, wife.”

    ……

    Chen Zhuo was awakened by the aroma of food.

    He opened his sore eyelids, and what caught his eye was Xie Yu’s annoying handsome face and the gentle white light of the crystal chandelier.

    Chen Zhuo moved his lips, his voice dry, and asked in confusion, “Why are the lights on in broad daylight?”

    Xie Yu chuckled lowly, playing with the curly hair on his forehead, “Baby, it’s night now, are you hungry? Get up and eat something.”

    Chen Zhuo Snatch to eat, only, muscle, sore.

    Xie Yu hurriedly helped him sit up and put the pillow behind his waist.

    Chen Zhuo pointed to the prosperous night scene outside the window in disbelief: “What? I remember when I fainted, the sun had just come out of the horizon? I couldn’t have slept for a whole day, right?”

    Xie Yu blinked innocently at him, pulled his hand, and said sincerely, “Thank you for your hard work, wife, you are so amazing, you didn’t even bark like a dog at me.”

    Chen Zhuo pursed his lips, actually he had planned to admit defeat and bark like a dog.

    But before he could “woof woof”, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

    He changed the subject and asked Xie Yu to hand him his phone. When he opened it, the time clearly showed 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.

    Chen Zhuo wanted to cry without tears, “My weekend is gone like this?” He remembered something and looked at Xie Yu: “Then, when are you going back to China? Don’t you have classes tomorrow?”

    Xie Yu quietly looked at him, his eyes gentle and affectionate, and reached out to touch Chen Zhuo’s face: “I took a leave of absence, my flight is in the afternoon.”

    Chen Zhuo said “Oh” and lowered his head, feeling a little sad: “We have to separate again…”

    Xie Yu put him in his arms and comforted him: “Whenever I have time, I will come to see you. Besides, in two months, you will have winter vacation, and we will see each other soon.”

    Chen Zhuo muttered “um” in a muffled voice: “Then I’ll call Fanzi and ask him to ask for leave for me tomorrow morning. I don’t have classes in the afternoon either, I’ll go to the airport to see you off.”

    Xie Yu refused very maturely, and said sternly: “No need, don’t delay your studies, I’ll accompany you to class tomorrow morning.”

    Chen Zhuo glared at him, “Look at me like this, can I go to class? If you follow me again, everyone will know what’s going on at a glance. I’m going to rest for another day tomorrow!”

    “Oh,” Xie Yu said happily: “Alright, alright, it’s all because your husband is too awesome.”

    Chen Zhuo was amused by him and scolded “get out”.

    Then he hugged Xie Yu’s waist and buried himself in his arms: “I don’t want you to leave, why does happy time pass so quickly? Didn’t we just meet?”

    Xie Yu rubbed his hair and sighed, “I don’t want to leave you either…”

    The atmosphere became more and more sad. The two adults, who claimed that they had grown up a long time ago, still couldn’t learn how to face separation.

    But it doesn’t matter, they will always meet.

    The next day, Chen Zhuo took Xie Yu to the airport.

    Xie Yu stretched out his arm, “Give me a bite mark, a deep one, just like the one you bit me when we fought at the beginning of the semester, it can last for a week.”

    Chen Zhuo was speechless and amused: “Are you crazy? Doesn’t it hurt?”

    Xie Yu put his arm to his mouth and urged, “Hurry up, I’m not afraid of pain, I… ah ah ah damn!”

    As soon as he raised his voice, the people around him turned their heads to look at him.

    Although most people don’t understand Chinese, they all like to watch the fun.

    Xie Yu trembled in pain, looked at the tooth mark with saliva on his arm, and complained, “Why didn’t you give me a warning?”

    Chen Zhuo said, “Aren’t you not afraid of pain? Why are you yelling?”

    Xie Yu “humphed” twice and began to pull Chen Zhuo’s arm, childishly saying: “Stretch out your arm, I’ll give you one too.”

    “No no no no, rejected, rejected!” Chen Zhuo struggled with a smile, scolding him: “Haven’t you left enough marks on me? Blue and purple.”

    Xie Yu thought for a while and let him go: “That’s true.”

    The airport began to broadcast flight information, the two stopped joking, Xie Yu pinched Chen Zhuo’s cheek: “Okay, I’m going to board the plane, you go first, I don’t want you to see my back.”

    Chen Zhuo pouted and hugged him tightly: “We will see each other soon.”

    Xie Yu hugged him with even greater force, “Yes, soon.”

    After hugging for a while, Chen Zhuo came out of his arms, “Then I’ll go first, I won’t look back.”

    Xie Yu nodded: “Um, you go first.”

    Chen Zhuo On tiptoe, fast.

    He walked very fast, almost jogging, as if if he didn’t do this, he would not be able to help but let Xie Yu stay, or he would give up everything and go back to Jiangbei with Xie Yu.

    Xie Yu looked at his quickly disappearing back and said softly, “Really not looking back?Scumbag.”
