ASSHKHME Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Don’t Poke My Chin

Chen Zhuo woke up, probably because the alcohol was expensive, his head was only a little dizzy after the hangover, but it didn’t hurt.

Xie Yu beside him was sleeping soundly. Chen Zhuo was just about to kiss him when he suddenly realized he was stark naked and woke up with a jolt.

Could it be that he and Xie Yu last night…

But based on the results of his own measurements last time, if they really did the deed, he would definitely suffer.

But now his body didn’t feel any discomfort, so Xie Yu probably just got handsy and stripped him, or he threw up on his clothes.

Chen Zhuo scratched his messy hair. He hadn’t showered yesterday and still smelled of alcohol, which was unbearable. He wanted to go to the bathroom to wash up.

However, before he could even sit up, Xie Yu, whose eyes weren’t even open, grabbed him, his voice hoarse from being woken up, “Where do you want to go again? Stop making a fuss, let me sleep a bit, I’m about to die of exhaustion.”

Chen Zhuo stared at the dark circles under Xie Yu’s eyes for two seconds, and asked tentatively, “Could it be that I went crazy when I was drunk yesterday? Can’t be, right?”

Xie Yu squinted slightly, and said resentfully, “Damn, I took care of you all night yesterday, and you actually forgot? Do you know how difficult you were, Chen Xiaozhuo’er!”

Chen Zhuo asked suspiciously, “Really? What did I do?”

One moment he wanted water, the next he wanted to pee.

One moment he complained the air conditioner was too hot, the next he complained it was too cold when it was turned off.

One moment he muttered that he couldn’t sleep well being hugged by Xie Yu, the next he ordered Xie Yu to hug him to sleep in his favorite position.

He pushed Xie Yu back and forth like a dung beetle rolling a ball of dung. Finally, Xie Yu got annoyed and used his hands and feet to hold him in his arms, and only then did he become obedient.

He tossed and turned Xie Yu around, and Xie Yu didn’t fall asleep completely until dawn.

Xie Yu moved his lips, remembering how Chen Zhuo had argued with him tongue-tiedly, and swallowed back what he wanted to say, “I’m just teasing you, you were pretty good, but you’re not allowed to get drunk in the future, I have to be there when you drink.”

Chen Zhuo felt that Xie Yu was strange, and struggled out of his arms. He saw a half-bottle of water on the bedside table, reached out and took it to drink, coughing a few times, “Xie Yu, I think I have a cold.”

Xie Yu touched his forehead, and said worriedly, “You don’t have a fever, what’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Did you get cold?”

Chen Zhuo raised his head and finished the water, clearing his throat, “Nothing else, just a sore throat, burning, did I eat too much good food yesterday and got a heat rash? Buy me some throat lozenges later.”

Xie Yu’s handsome face turned red, and he covered his head bashfully.

Only revealing a pair of eyes, he looked at Chen Zhuo shyly.

Chen Zhuo was silent, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and fragments of memories kept flashing back in his mind.

He subconsciously touched his neck, “What exactly happened yesterday? I, you…”

Xie Yu shifted his gaze uncomfortably, but couldn’t hide his happiness and smugness, “Hehe, you were the one who took the initiative.”

Chen Zhuo was annoyed, but looking at Xie Yu’s smug look, he wanted to laugh again.

Through the quilt, he turned over and pressed down on Xie Yu, and scolded with a smile, “You took a big advantage! You hurry up and pay me back! Give and take, do you know!”

Xie Yu laughed and dodged him, cackling, “Your husband, I’ve never served anyone in my life. Yesterday I served you like a slave, what’s wrong with collecting some interest?”

Chen Zhuo pulled Xie Yu’s head out of the quilt, propped himself up on the head of the bed with one hand, and said with a smile, “You’re a loan shark! Hurry up and pay me back!”

Xie Yu was pinched by his face, “Ouch, damn, are you a pervert, Chen Xiaozhuo’er! Haha, don’t poke my chin! Uh…”

…………

Chu Ran’s flight was in the morning, and Li Ang went to see her off. The young couple left early.

Little Xie the driver took Chen Zhuo and Zhao Jiashu back to the dormitory.

Zhao Jiashu’s home was in the neighboring city, and it was very fast by high-speed rail. He bought a ticket for five o’clock in the afternoon, and packed his luggage calmly.

Chen Zhuo also packed. His luggage was more scattered, and he had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was putting small items into disposable bags according to category.

Xie Yu didn’t have much to pack. He originally wanted to show off his boyfriend power by helping Chen Zhuo fold clothes, but Chen Zhuo disliked that they weren’t folded straight enough, so he could only stand aside and watch.

Xie Yu chewed gum, the last unforgettable taste was Houttuynia cordata.

He asked, “Xiaozhuo’er, what are your plans for the winter vacation, where are you going? Back to the Xu family?”

Chen Zhuo squatted on the ground to sort out his suitcase, shook his head, and said, “I’m going back to my own house. When it’s almost New Year’s, Qingyou-ge should ask me to go back to the Xu family. I’ll just stay at home usually. I found a part-time job online, selling some simple design drawings, just as practice.”

“Your house?” Xie Yu realized that Chen Zhuo was talking about his parents’ house, and said euphemistically, “You haven’t lived there for so long, will you be comfortable living there? Or…”

Chen Zhuo closed the suitcase, “Yes, Qingyou-ge has been helping me take care of it. But since I went back last time, I haven’t let him worry about it anymore. This time I go back, I have to clean it up properly, there will be a lot of dust, right?”

Xie Yu’s face was not very good, and he said in a strange tone, “Qingyou-ge, Qingyou-ge, you can’t leave your cheap brother for three sentences, he really finds a way to squeeze into your life.”

Chen Zhuo glanced at Zhao Jiashu, who was on the balcony making a phone call, got up and gently rubbed Xie Yu’s face with the back of his hand, “You’re jealous of everything, what’s so good about his jealousy?”

Xie Yu grabbed Chen Zhuo’s hand and bit him, raising his eyebrows and said, “It’s delicious, ten-year-old aged vinegar, flavorful.”

Chen Zhuo laughed, “Okay, don’t be awkward, I’m done packing, take me home? Our kitchen hasn’t been used for ten years, I don’t know if it can still be used, I’ll cook for you?”

Xie Yu wanted Chen Zhuo to go back to his own house and live with him, but he was too embarrassed to say it clearly, “It hasn’t been used for ten years, aren’t you afraid it will explode?”

Chen Zhuo thought for a moment, “That makes sense, it’s a twenty-year-old house, I guess there are many aging pipeline problems, let’s go back and take a look.”

After saying goodbye to the “left-behind child” Zhao Jiashu, Xie Yu drove Chen Zhuo home.

His brute strength finally had room to play, and Xie Yu easily carried Chen Zhuo’s two heavy suitcases up to the third floor.

It was an old residential area, still with mechanical locks. Chen Zhuo twisted the door open with a “click”, stood at the door for a second before entering, “Mom and Dad, I’m back.”

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, and followed him in, “Mom and Dad, I’m back too.”

Chen Zhuo was feeling sad, but he was amused by him, “Who are you calling Mom and Dad? Are you so familiar?”

The interior layout was very warm, and you could still see how loving this home once was.

Xie Yu turned his head to look at the photo wall next to him, Chen Zhuo’s parents were so young.

Xie Yu felt a little sad, and pretended to be his usual nonchalant self, “I’m your boyfriend, aren’t your parents my parents?”

Chen Zhuo smiled and didn’t refute him.

This house, the traces of family love are too heavy. Xie Yu picked up a toy from the sofa. Living here for more than a month, Chen Zhuo will be secretly crying at night, right…

Xie Yu took the rag that Chen Zhuo handed over and wiped the dust on the table, and said, “You haven’t paid the heating bill, it will be very cold at night, although the kitchen has been maintained, it must be replaced with a new gas stove to be safe.”

Chen Zhuo mopped the floor, “What do you want to say?”

Xie Yu put down the rag, “Come with me.”

Chen Zhuo lowered his eyelashes, “I know you’re afraid that I’ll be overwhelmed with emotions, but after all, this is my home, I always have to face it.”

“Oh, some things, there’s no need to face them, avoiding them is fine too.”

Xie Yu stepped forward and hugged him, resting his chin on his shoulder, and said shamelessly, “The main reason is that I can’t sleep without holding you, I can’t fall asleep, come back with me, back to our home.”

Chen Zhuo said unnaturally, “What our home?”

Xie Yu hugged his waist, and muttered, “I gave you the keys, aren’t you acknowledging it? Come with me, just the two of us, I want to be able to see you as soon as I open my eyes.”
