ASSHKHME Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire

Chen Zhuo needed to adjust to the time difference, so he went to bed early and woke up early.

The sky was about to dawn, the north wind howled outside the window, and the hazy morning light spilled into the room through the not-quite-closed gap in the curtains.

Chen Zhuo, with his head resting on Xie Yu’s arm, groggily opened his eyes in Xie Yu’s embrace. In a daze, he even thought he was dreaming.

But the person beside him was warming him with a warm body temperature, and light, shallow breaths fell on his ear. He was completely immersed in the familiar scent, all of which told him that he had returned to Jiangbei, and Xie Yu was by his side.

Chen Zhuo’s heart fluttered, full of joy. Using the faint light, his fingertips traced Xie Yu’s firm brow bone, high nose bridge, and finally landed on the corner of his lips, as if pecking a kiss, carefully touching it.

Just as he was about to retract his hand into the quilt, his wrist was grabbed. Xie Yu opened his eyes, his voice hoarse from being woken up: “What are you doing? If you want to kiss, just kiss. Why are you being so subtle?”

The bedroom was quiet and dim, as all things awakened in the early morning.

The two were extremely close. Xie Yu looked at Chen Zhuo, whose hair was messy and who was obediently meeting his gaze. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and he lifted Chen Zhuo’s chin, ready to kiss him.

But Chen Zhuo turned his face away to dodge. “Hey, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet. I’ll kiss you after I brush my teeth.”

Xie Yu propped himself up, pinched his cheeks and shook them, and said lightly: “Delicate baby, when you were swallowing that stuff, why didn’t you dislikeit?”

Chen Zhuo wasn’t shy, just covered his mouth: “That’s different. You have to have principles. You can’t kiss without brushing your teeth.”

Xie Yu “whispering sound” a sound, turned on the bedside lamp, lifted the quilt, and shuffled to the bathroom in slippers.

Muttering with dissatisfaction: “Brush, brush, brush! You’re such an unromantic guy! You don’t even want to kiss when it’s been so long since we’ve been apart. I think you just don’t love me enough! I’m so sad.”

Chen Zhuo smiled and said “You childish ghost,” and followed him to the bathroom, squeezing with Xie Yu in front of the same sink to brush their teeth.

The mirror in front of them reflected their appearance.

Hair as messy as a chicken coop, corners of their mouths covered in toothpaste foam, one set of pajamas had to be worn by two people.

They were still restless while brushing their teeth, you rubbed me, I pinched you, back and forth. In less than three minutes, the fire between the two young boys was stirred up.

Chen Zhuo and Xie Yu looked at each other in the mirror, seeing the same emotions in each other’s eyes.

They each hurriedly rinsed their mouths, not even sure if they had rinsed off all the toothpaste foam, and then impatiently hugged each other and started gnawing.

Yesterday’s good atmosphere was ruined by Xie Yu’s dear old dad’s two phone calls, and after that moment passed, they weren’t in the mood anymore.

Now they were well-rested, energetic, and the fire that had been pent up for two months should be released.

Xie Yu lifted him onto the sink.

Chen Zhuo was only wearing a loose top, his legs bare, and said it was cold.

Xie Yu kissed him, holding the back of his head, a little impatiently: “Be good, it won’t be cold in a while.”

…………

Although he woke up at five in the morning, he didn’t get out of bed until one in the afternoon.

Xie Yu ordered a meal at the restaurant, delivered by a special person.

It was light Cantonese cuisine, with flavorful and colorful dishes such as boiled shrimp, steamed fish, preserved vegetable pork, and old-fashioned soup on the table.

Chen Zhuo was already hungry, pulled out the chair, and sat with Xie Yu’s pillow under his butt in front of him, and said quietly: “Little Xie, pour me a bowl of soup.”

Xie Yu didn’t know why Chen Zhuo always liked to sit on his pillow as a cushion after the fact, but he thought the behavior was very cute, and smiled as he scooped a bowl of soup for him. “Boss, please drink.”

Chen Zhuo liked strong flavors, spicy and fragrant dishes.

Probably because he had eaten too much bland Western food, now as long as it was Chinese food, he thought it was super invincible delicious, and he held it up and directly gulped down a whole bowl.

Xie Yu smiled and gave him food: “Isn’t it hot? Drink slowly. What kind of suffering did you endure abroad? I told you to hire a chef, but you weren’t willing.”

Chen Zhuo buried his head in his food and said vaguely, “Aiyo, stop nagging, if you have time, peel the shrimp for me.”

“You’re quite the one to order people around,” Xie Yu said, but his hands were quick to peel out the shrimp meat, dipped it in the sauce, and sent it to his mouth, “Ah, open your mouth.”

The warm soup went down his stomach, and Chen Zhuo regained some energy, happily chewing on the shrimp: “The snow on the road should be cleared by now. You made your uncle so angry yesterday, go coax him.”

Xie Liangjun was indeed angry enough with Xie Yu, and blacklisted Xie Yu’s WeChat and phone number. He was not only angry, but also very sad.

It was as if the pig he had finally raised with great difficulty had been taken away by someone along with the pigsty. He went to chase after it, but was splattered with pig manure by his own pig.

Xie Yu clipped a piece of fresh fish to Chen Zhuo, and hesitated: “I have to coax him, but you just came back from vacation, I don’t want to leave you alone at home.”

Chen Zhuo blinked and suddenly smiled at him.

Xie Yu was silent for two seconds, “You have an appointment this afternoon? Going to see Xu Qingyou?”

Chen Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and turned around to diligently peel shrimp for Xie Yu. “I just came back from abroad, of course I have to say hello to Qingyou ge, otherwise he’ll think I’m dating and don’t recognize my relatives. He’d be so heartbroken.”

He dipped the peeled shrimp meat in some sauce and sent it to Xie Yu’s mouth, “Right, husband?”

Xie Yu “laugh” a sound, opened his mouth to eat the shrimp and bit Chen Zhuo’s fingertip,snort said: “Look at your ingratiating look to see Xu Qingyou.”

Chen Zhuo “Tsk” a sound, gave him a sidelong glance: “I’m giving you a step down, hurry up and take it, don’t make trouble.”

Xie Yu pretended to exaggerate and “Oh yo” a sound, and Pull downsaid: “You’re impatient already? I have to be happy to send you off to see my rival in love, right? Chen Xiaozhuo, you’re very capable.”

Chen Zhuo pinched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed it in his mouth to shut him up, begging for mercy: “Stop talking, Qingyou ge said he’ll only be my brother, what rival in love, there’s no rival in love?”

Xie Yu’s mouth was full, with bulging cheeks, and he said vaguely: “People aren’t machines, how can they let go so easily? Where are you two going on a date? I’ll take you there.”

Chen Zhuo was speechless and wanted to laugh: “What date? Can you stop talking nonsense? It’s just that I haven’t seen him for a long time, and I won an award, so I’m treating him to a meal.”

Xie Yu spat out the bones, angry: “You haven’t even treated me to a meal, why don’t I have anything?”

Chen Zhuo seemed to remember something, got up and opened his suitcase, “Oh right! I brought you a gift, Ningning also has one. I was only busy talking to you, I forgot.”

“That’s more like it,” Xie Yu followed him, smiling, “What did you buy me?”

Chen Zhuo took out a scarf and hung it around Xie Yu’s neck, deliberately teasing him: “A scarf, didn’t you fancy Qingyou ge’s one last year?”

Xie Yu’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his expression was complicated: “Are you sick, Chen Zhuo? I liked it last year and you only bought it for me this year? Besides, who wants to wear the same scarf as Xu Qingyou! I’m really I’m convinced!!!”
