CH 34

“You…”

“You said you liked me!” Lin Yuyan was afraid that he would refuse, and hurriedly said, “You- you can’t go back on your word.”

Under the lamp, he could see his blushing face and slightly trembling lips. His eyes looked a little flustered, but he pretended to be calm as he looked at him and continued, “Well- Anyways, you said you like me… So…” 

Gu Yaoyang asked, “So what?”

“What?” Lin Yuyan was stunned.

Gu Yaoyang said, “I like you, so what do you want me to do?”

Lin Yuyan replied, “We like each other, so…” 

“So what do you want?” 

“We like each other right? So, shouldn’t we be together?” 

At that moment, Lin Yuyan didn’t think too much, he just mustered up all his courage and said this sentence.

He didn’t need to think about the result, and he grew up in an environment where he didn’t need to think about the outcome before doing anything. His family was rich. He had everything he liked, and he could get whatever he wanted.

Even when he was facing difficulties to reach his dream to become a painter, his father may not agree with him, but his mother who loved and spoiled him stood by his side. He was more carefree than most normal seventeen-year-old boys, and his feelings for Gu Yaoyang were simple and straightforward.

He hated him, so he only wanted to be a stranger to him. 

He likes him, so now he wants to be his boyfriend. 

He didn’t have any complicated thoughts in his mind, and he felt that they should be together after confessing their feelings to each other. 

It was the simple truth he believed in, and he was right. 

The corners of Gu Yaoyang’s mouth twitched for a moment as he stared at him for a long time. Finally, he smiled and took his hand. He lightly kissed the back of his hand and softly said, “Alright.”

Back at their villa, Lin Yuyan’s mood still hadn’t calmed down yet. He was rolling around on the mattress, trying to hug Gu Yaoyang, but he felt that he was being too active and became a little embarrassed.

Gu Yaoyang seemed to see through this little thought of his, and hugged him in his arms, letting him get his wish.

Lin Yuyan tossed for a while, then laid on his chest and asked, “Are we lovers now?”

“Yeah.” Gu Yaoyang lowered his eyes, just in time to meet his smiling eyes.

Lin Yuyan asked, “What should lovers do?” 

Gu Yaoyang said, “I don’t know. This is the first time I fell in love.”

“Me too.” Lin Yuyan raised his hand and touched his chin and felt some stubble. He then sat up and touched his own chin, which was smooth with no hairs on it.

Gu Yaoyang hugged him back by the waist, letting him continue to lie on top of him, and then said, “Of course, I could try it with somebody else first.” 

Lin Yuyan asked, “Try what?” 

Gu Yaoyang answered, “Dating. Once I have some experience, I’ll come back and tell you.” 

“No!” Lin Yuyan immediately wrapped his arms around his waist and continued, “You can’t ask somebody else to try it. You’re my boyfriend now, so you can only try it with me.” 

Gu Yaoyang seemed to like the word “boyfriend” very much. He pressed their foreheads together, and asked in a low voice, “Try what?” 

The distance between them was so close that they could feel each other’s warm breath against their faces. Lin Yuyan licked his dry lips and with a voice as small as a mosquito, he answered, “Well, do you want to try kissing?” 

“Huh?” Gu Yaoyang raised the corners of his mouth. He didn’t expect him to be so enthusiastic, so he said, “Then close your eyes.”

Lin Yuyan immediately closed his eyes, his eyelashes twitched, and he swallowed nervously. Although he was a little shy, since the two of them had confirmed their relationship, they should be open and do what lovers do. 

Gu Yaoyang seemed to be still talking in his ear. His voice sounded a little bit more unique today, a bit hoarse but still very pleasant, like a fine yet rough sandpaper incessantly rubbing against his heart, making him feel a little itchy inside. 

Lin Yuyan waited quietly, not knowing what preparations he should make. For his first official kiss, should he pout his lips? Or is it better to keep it as it is? 

Gu Yaoyang changed his movements and pressed him on the mattress. As the sound of breathing got closer, he felt the tip of their noses slightly press together. 

Lin Yuyan hesitated for a while, but still pouted his lips slightly, then with a “click”, he was so shocked he pulled his mouth back again. 

Gu Yaoyang rested on the mattress with one hand and held the phone with the other. Lin Yuyan opened his eyes and just saw a photo on the screen.

In the photo, a young man was pouting his lips for a kiss with a confused expression on his face. He looked a little anxious, but he seemed to have an inexpressible expectation as well.

“You!”

“Hahahah!” Gu Yaoyang snapped another picture of him in a state of anger and ran down the ladder and into the living room.

The room was originally small, and the two big boys couldn’t run around freely at all. Gu Yaoyang teased him to run around before hiding in the bathroom behind the ladder.

It was a bathroom, but there was no door at all. They only blocked the shower with plastic curtains and made small barriers with a height of seven to eight centimeters with log-colored tiles to prevent water from pouring out. 

Lin Yuyan soon pinpointed his position and rushed over. Before he opened the curtain, he was wrapped around in circles by the curtain, leaving only his head out. 

Gu Yaoyang hugged him from the inside with a smirk on his face. Without giving him the chance to speak, he kissed his lips without a warning. 

“Hmm…” Lin Yuyan didn’t expect him to kiss him like this at all. He didn’t make any preparations, and could only blankly stare at him. He even felt his chest vibrate with how nervous he was. 

With a “crash”, the shower curtain’s grip hook quickly squeezed together as Lin Yuyan got pushed against the wall while looking like a silkworm chrysalis. In addition to the deafening heartbeat he was hearing in his ears, there was also the faint sound of thick and slimy water. He wanted to struggle, but his body was limp and tied up, he was unable to move one bit. 

It turns out that the kissing scenes played in movies were real. When kissing, people actually make this shy sound.  Lin Yuyan curled his toes, his brain was a little deprived of oxygen, and when he came back to his senses, he found a sharp tiger tooth pulling out of his mouth and biting his lower lip to help him ground himself.

“You…you have tiger teeth.” Lin Yuyan said in surprise as if he had discovered a little secret. He was still tangled in the shower curtains, his eyes were wet, and his lips were red with light water stains on them.

Gu Yaoyang said, “There’s two.” 

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“But I only found one.”

Gu Yaoyang raised his eyebrows and said, “You can find more, it’s in the deeper part of my mouth.”

Lin Yuyan was curious, so he went to kiss his mouth again and checked each of his teeth before coming to a conclusion, “There is only one.”

Gu Yaoyang said, “Two. How could I not know my own teeth?” 

“Really?” Lin Yuyan began to doubt himself, and just as he was about to check it again, he met Gu Yaoyang’s smiling eyes.

This look was so familiar to him that he regained his IQ in an instant. He shouted that the other was a villain and slammed his forehead on his forehead, and grimaced in pain as he added with a smile, “You’re a big liar!”
