ASSHKHME Chapter 57

Chapter 57: I Am Very Loyal

Xie Yu hasn’t fully mastered the skill of “Coax people” (Coax people – hōng rén; coaxing people).

“You ‘hehe’ what ghost! I didn’t even add her at all. Wasn’t I just put on the spot back then? It’s not appropriate to make the elders lose face in public, but rest assured, this kind of situation will never happen again in the future, I guarantee it.”

He sat down next to Chen Zhuo, tapped the phone screen a few times, and shoved it in front of Chen Zhuo’s eyes: “Look, I really didn’t add her. I just wanted to explain it to you, but you left so fast, I didn’t have time to say it.”

Chen Zhuo glanced askance, saw the unapproved friend request, didn’t say anything, but his expression softened a lot.

Xie Yu shook his phone, aggrievedly said: “See? It’s so unfair. Can’t you just ask me directly if something happens in the future? Don’t always sulk and make me guess, and pretend to be mute and ignore me. I hate the silent treatment the most.”

Chen Zhuo lowered his head and fiddled with his bracelet, awkwardly said: “Just a roommate, why should I ask you about this? And why should you explain it to me? It’s unnecessary.”

“Just a roommate? Unnecessary?”

Xie Yu repeated it once, then turned Chen Zhuo’s face, pressed his thumb on his lower lip, and frowned: “We’ve already…done that, and in your eyes, I’m still just a roommate? Chen Zhuo, when you say these words, I’m very sad.”

“That’s not what I meant…” Chen Zhuo was about to be burned by Xie Yu’s hot, focused gaze, wanted to turn his head away, but was controlled and couldn’t move at all.

Under Xie Yu’s strong actions, Chen Zhuo’s little heart was beating “thump, thump.”

Xie Yu stared unblinkingly into his eyes and said, “I’ve never liked a girl, nor have I liked anyone else. Chen Zhuo, my dad has only loved my mom in his entire life, and so will I.”

Chen Zhuo’s Adam’s apple rolled, as if he already anticipated what Xie Yu was going to say next, and his blood was about to boil, “Wh-what do you mean?”

Xie Yu lowered his head and touched the corner of his lips, softly said: “I told my dad, I have someone I like.”

Chen Zhuo’s breathing paused slightly, knowingly asked: “Who? Male or female? Do I know them?”

“You’re just messing with me,” Xie Yu kissed him one after another, kissing his cheeks, forehead, the tip of his nose, mouth, fiercely and with force: “You’re so smart, do you really not know who it is? Hmm?”

Chen Zhuo tilted his head back and let Xie Yu kiss his neck, his baseball cap falling to the ground during the movement, and his little curly hair bounced.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, “If you don’t say, how would I know?”

Xie Yu bit Chen Zhuo’s Adam’s apple in one gulp, grinding between his teeth, eliciting a short “ah.”

Xie Yu covered Chen Zhuo’s mouth.

Chen Zhuo’s breath sprinkled on Xie Yu’s tiger’s mouth.

Xie Yu stared straight into his eyes and said, “If I fall in love with someone, that’s a lifetime thing, it won’t change.”

Chen Zhuo’s dark pupils reflected Xie Yu’s handsome and serious face, he blinked slowly, and muffled in Xie Yu’s palm: “Who do you like? Don’t dare to say?”

“What do you think?” Xie Yu let go, his earlobes were red, “Who else could it be but you?”

Chen Zhuo knew that Xie Yu had feelings for him, and also knew what Xie Yu was going to say next, but when he actually heard this confession, he was still stunned.

That green apple that tasted astringent but quenched thirst suddenly turned into a sweet and delicious red apple, like a dream.

Chen Zhuo moved his lips, “Are you serious? You’re saying this because you want to date me? Are you gay?”

His words became lighter and lighter, and he became less and less confident as he asked, growing flustered.

If Xie Yu said “I don’t know” again, then Chen Zhuo really couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t smash the wooden stool under his butt on his head.

Xie Yu looked at him quietly, suddenly forcefully grabbed Chen Zhuo’s hand and put it on his pounding heart.

Chen Zhuo was puzzled: “Hmm?”

“Okay, isn’t it just being gay? I admit it, I am.” Xie Yu’s warm palm pressed on the back of Chen Zhuo’s hand, burning hot: “My heart is beating so fast, don’t you believe it yet?”

Chen Zhuo curled his fingers, wanting to back down, “But you…”

Xie Yu grabbed his hand, not letting him move, stubbornly confessed: “Chen Zhuo, I like you, I am very loyal, date me.”

There were students passing by just a wall away, and Chen Zhuo’s heart followed the sound of those footsteps “thump, thump,” gradually resonating with the vibration under his palm.

The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the transparent glass window, stretching and overlapping the shadows of the two on the snow-white wall, sticking and plating a circle of ambiguous orange.

Chen Zhuo suddenly felt both joy and nervousness.

He stared blankly at Xie Yu, his cheeks flushed, like a young sunset.

“Say something,” Xie Yu urged him eagerly, softly said: “You like me too, right? Say yes, hurry up.”

Chen Zhuo smiled silently, leaned over and kissed Xie Yu’s face, his dark pupils sparkling, and softly said: “Yes, I like you too.”

The arc of Xie Yu’s mouth continued to rise, trying to pretend to be calm, but he still couldn’t hide the joy churning in his heart: “I knew you liked me, so are we, now, considered dating?”

Chen Zhuo heard this word, a little embarrassed to turn his head, “Yeah.”

Xie Yu was a little tipsy in Chen Zhuo’s shy appearance.

Xie Yu didn’t know what to do with Chen Zhuo anymore.

He’s bold enough to pull his belt, and he can flirt with him without blushing or skipping a beat.

Now he’s just putting on this look with a simple sentence of liking, who is he trying to seduce?!

He pinched Chen Zhuo’s face: “I’ve officially taken my post, do I have the authority to control you?”

Chen Zhuo raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Oh, what do you want to control me about? Boyfriend.”

The title “boyfriend” was too strange. A few months ago, if someone told him that his future first love interest was a man, he would definitely use the sole of his shoe to swell that person’s stinky mouth.

But now, applying this strange and bizarre noun to Chen Zhuo, and adding a qualifier “my,” Xie Yu thought it was very good.

Xie Yu, as Chen Zhuo’s boyfriend, straightened his back and spoke with an unyielding tone: “What do you say I’ll control you about? You’re giving rewards to male internet celebrities and chasing male gods, I’m seriously telling you, Chen Zhuo, you have someone now, these bad behaviors are all not allowed!”

Chen Zhuo laughed, “You’re petty, you remember really clearly.”

“Don’t interrupt, I haven’t finished yet.” Xie Yu secretly entered the main topic, “Besides me, whether it’s the same sex or the opposite sex, you can’t get too close.”

Chen Zhuo thought Xie Yu was still jealous, “Are you talking about Jiang Song? We’re just friends, there’s no possibility of developing feelings beyond friendship, and I haven’t been to that gay bar either, never been before, and won’t go in the future.”

Xie Yu said unhappily: “He’s gay, and so are you, how is there no possibility?”

Chen Zhuo casually said: “Because we’re both the same position.”

Xie Yu’s thoughts paused for a second, his mouth was faster than his brain, and he said with surprise: “Ah? You’re a zero?”

Chen Zhuo was silent, his expression complicated: “You, too? Weren’t you straight before? You want to lie down? Then, then I can’t not be a one either.”

Xie Yu didn’t expect there to be an unexpected gain. Last time Chen Zhuo said he was teasing him, he thought Chen Zhuo was the top, and he did a lot of psychological construction.

He also anonymously consulted many netizens online, and those resentful netizens, one by one, watched the excitement and didn’t think it was a big deal, advising him to bloom for love.

He couldn’t bloom a bit.

He had already made up his mind to have a platonic relationship, but he didn’t expect the surprise to come so quickly.

Xie Yu came back to his senses, his gaze was a bit hotter, and he said modestly: “No, no, no, I won’t lie down! You lie down, you lie down, I just love to do that strenuous work.”
