GLIHBN Chapter 1
by Volare“Honey, thank you for your trouble tomorrow. Remember to send me a message after you pick up Chi Ye.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
Su Shi’s voice sounded soft and gentle in the quiet night. Anyone who heard it would be captivated by its tenderness.
His boyfriend, Xu Chongming’s distant cousin, Chi Ye, had been admitted to West Hangzhou University in the city. He wanted to come over before the semester started to get used to the environment.
Xu Chongming was studying abroad in the United States, so he could only ask Su Shi to help with the airport pickup. They agreed that the cousin would stay at Su Shi’s home before the semester started.
Xu Chongming and Chi Ye’s cousin relationship was very distant. Xu Chongming’s grandmother and Chi Ye’s grandmother were cousins. In reality, based on this relationship, the kinship was so distant that it could be ignored.
However, Xu Chongming’s mother and Chi Ye’s father had been very close friends since childhood. It was said that the elders of both families had even tried to match them up.
But they were not interested in each other, which did not prevent them from becoming best friends.
Later, Chi Ye’s father passed away unexpectedly. Xu Chongming’s mother felt sorry for Chi Ye and treated him like her own nephew, asking Xu Chongming to take care of this younger brother.
“Honey, you’re so great. I’m lucky to have you.” Xu Chongming was skilled at using Sweet Talk to make Su Shi happy.
As expected, Su Shi smiled after hearing this. “Just know it.”
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the phone. Su Shi asked, “Is someone next to you?”
As soon as he asked, the sound stopped abruptly. After a few seconds, Xu Chongming said, “No, it’s just me.”
“Then how did I hear someone on your side, like someone was…” kissing, or rather, sucking.
“You found out?” Xu Chongming was unfazed. “I’m watching TV. The main characters in it are kissing. It made me miss you.”
“You’re not being Decent. Think about it slowly, I’m going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.”
Su Shi hung up the phone. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his expression became dim.
Not knowing what he was thinking, he raised the corners of his mouth again, turned off the lights, and got into bed.
Far away on the other side of the ocean, Xu Chongming pushed away the man who was lying on top of him, touched his ear that had been wettened, and said Annoyed:
“How many times have I told you? Don’t mess around when I’m on the phone with him.”
The man was pushed down but not angry. He even struck a Seductive pose, and licked his lips with some reluctance, saying flatteringly, “Don’t be angry, I won’t do it next time.”
Xu Chongming stood up with a start, picked up his pants from the floor and started to put them on, zipped them up, and then started to put on his shirt.
There were several scratches on his back, which felt slightly stinging.
Xu Chongming said in a warning tone, “I’ll be back in the country in three months. We’ll end it then.”
The man lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly. Only his voice could be heard, “Understood.”
Xu Chongming put on his clothes and left without looking at the man again.
At the Airport, Su Shi stood at the exit waiting for Chi Ye.
Xu Chongming had sent him a photo of Chi Ye. Su Shi’s first reaction after seeing it was: This kid is really beautiful.
Chi Ye in the photo was only fourteen years old, and he hadn’t fully grown up yet. Xu Chongming didn’t have any photos of Chi Ye after he grew up, so he could only send this one to Su Shi to recognize him.
Xu Chongming said that anyone who had seen Chi Ye would be able to recognize him at a glance in a crowd.
After talking to Xu Chongming on the phone last night, Su Shi thought about a lot of random things and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.
The flight was relatively early, and it took an hour to drive over from home. Su Shi got up early, which caused him to be a little sleepy now.
Coincidentally, Xiao Jie, his assistant at the Studio, called, which allowed Su Shi to Pass the time and dispel his sleepiness.
Su Shi was talking to his assistant about work when suddenly, a shadow fell over him.
Su Shi raised his head and met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
Almost at a glance, he recognized him: This is Chi Ye.
“Hello, Teacher Su?”
The other side was silent, and the assistant’s voice was clamoring on the phone.
Su Shi first nodded slightly to Chi Ye, then said to the assistant, “Let’s do this first, and we’ll talk about the others later.”
Su Shi hung up the phone and smiled.
He had a dimple on his left cheek when he smiled. Because it was a single dimple, it didn’t make him look feminine. Instead, it made him very approachable, “You must be Chi Ye.”
Chi Ye nodded very lightly, using an affirmative sentence. “Yes, you are Su Shi.”
“Yes.”
Su Shi saw that Chi Ye only had a backpack, which looked flat, indicating that there wasn’t much inside. There was no suitcase next to him either, “You have so little luggage?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, come with me.”
“Okay.”
Su Shi was a professional Curator who often dealt with all kinds of clients. He had his own way of handling people.
The boy in front of him spoke very little. They would be living together for a while, so Su Shi felt it was necessary to improve their relationship.
Su Shi walked side by side with Chi Ye, “Your brother told you, right? You’re going to stay at my house until school starts.”
“He did.”
The boy was a little taller than him, and his legs were longer too, but he took small steps, always lagging slightly behind.
Su Shi didn’t know if he was doing it on purpose or if he just walked slowly.
Chi Ye’s way of talking could easily kill a conversation, but who was Su Shi? Even the most taciturn person would have their chatterbox opened by him.
Su Shi had noticed that Chi Ye was wearing Limited Edition AJ Sneakers, and his clothes were all black. The shoes were red and white, which looked pretty good together.
“I have a Shoe cabinet that is specially used to collect a lot of sneakers. Are you interested in taking a look?”
The things that boys of this age are interested in are nothing more than sports, games, and girls.
Su Shi could feel a change in Chi Ye’s expression, and thought to himself: See, he’s still a young boy.
“Okay.”
Next, the two of them walked to the airport parking lot together, chatting warmly about basketball games.
When he was about to walk to his Porsche, Su Shi took out his car key and pressed the unlock button, and asked Chi Ye casually, “Can you drive?”
“Yes.”
Su Shi then casually threw the car key over, and Chi Ye caught it on reflex.
Su Shi said very matter-of-factly, “Then you drive. I got up too early this morning to pick you up, and I’m sleepy.”
“Okay.”
After getting in the car, Su Shi opened the navigation on his phone, set the destination, and fixed it on the phone holder, “Okay, follow the navigation, and call me when we get there.”
Then Su Shi lowered the back of his seat, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.
Su Shi’s phone kept receiving messages. Chi Ye glanced at them casually. They were sent by Xu Chongming:
Honey, did you pick up Chi Ye?
Thank you for your trouble, my baby. Send me a message when you get home.
Chi Ye’s fingers on the steering wheel loosened slightly, and then he reached out and muted the phone.
Su Shi was sleeping soundly, it seemed he was really sleepy.
His thick eyelashes formed a small fan, and the light illuminated the fine hairs on his face.
The whole person looked warm and fluffy, filling Chi Ye’s eyes.
The car stopped steadily downstairs in Su Shi’s Apartments. Chi Ye didn’t rush to get out of the car, and closed his eyes to doze off.
After a while, Su Shi slowly opened his eyes and stretched, “Ah, we’re here? Why didn’t you call me?”
He was a little confused after waking up, and didn’t notice that the seat belt had already been unbuckled.
Chi Ye opened his eyes, “We just arrived.”
Su Shi directed Chi Ye to drive the car into his designated parking space, and the two went upstairs.
“Come in.”
Chi Ye put on the new slippers that Su Shi gave him and followed Su Shi into the house.
The house was a duplex, and the decor, which never lost its style, showed that the owner was a very tasteful person.
On the fashionable suspended TV cabinet was a Photo Frame. The style was a bit old-fashioned, and it seemed out of place in this location. Inside, Xu Chongming and Su Shi had their arms around each other, looking very happy.
