Chapter 132: Teenage Love
He Yu enters the bathroom and rubs on the body lotion used by Xie Qingcheng, and inevitably gets a little excited.
It really smells good ......
It's Xie Qingcheng's mature male flavor.
The shower dropped a scalding hot stream of water onto the teenager's broad back, and the mist slowly rose, blurring the shower's furry glass.
In the midst of his confusion, He Yu suddenly noticed a handprint on the glass, which should have been left unintentionally by Xie Qingcheng when he took a bath, and now that there was a heat haze, the fingerprints appeared again.
"......"
The teenager's hot heart pounded, and he raised his hands, placing one over the spot where Xie Qingcheng had left his fingerprints, and couldn't resist reaching down with the other ......
In his imagination, he seemed to have crossed over with Xie Qingcheng through time and space, his hand braced behind him, clasping the back of Xie Qingcheng's wet hand. It was as if he was holding the hand with the fine-letter tattoo wrapped around his wrist, entangled no longer in the torrential heat of the shower.
"Xie Qingcheng ......" He Yu gasped, murmuring softly.
The moment he closed his eyes, he smelled the light and even cold fragrance, and felt that Xie Qingcheng was in his arms, beside him.
It was a bit of a long shower, and if it weren't for He Yu's watch over here, he could have indulged in it for a little while longer.
It was only when he stepped out of the shower soaking wet that He Yu realized something embarrassing had happened.
--
"Thank you, brother!"
Xie Qingcheng was busy here, and suddenly heard a boy shouting from the bathroom.
He frowned, raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't take a bath towel, and clothes too ......"
Lean.
Xie Qingcheng held his forehead, had no choice, and said, "You wait." Then he went to the bedroom to get him some loose-fitting clothes and a clean towel.
As for the underwear ......
Forget it, don't wear it. He can't see it anyway.
Xie Qingcheng walked to the door of the shower room and knocked.
The bathroom door opened.
He Yu was well-behaved nowadays, not daring to rashly walk the bird in front of Xie Qingcheng; he only turned his face sideways, revealing half of his wet, pretty face from behind the door, and whispered, "Thank you, brother."
Just dutifully reached out and took the laundry.
Like a harmless Little dragon poking its head out of the back of a cavern.
Xie Qingcheng didn't realize what the little brat had just thought about him doing in his bathroom.
He gave the item to He Yu and went back to the computer himself, put on his glasses, and went back to his busy schedule.
He Yu got dressed, blew dry his hair, walked out, stood behind Xie Qingcheng and took a look, realizing that Xie Qingcheng seemed to be searching for something, but it didn't seem too effective. So he asked, "Brother, what are you searching for?"
"A message from Shillong's corporate headquarters."
"Then you use me." He Yu more or less still a little bit because of the night privately locate Xie Qingcheng, Xie Qingcheng admonition thing, so want to coax his beautiful brother, said, "I'm a hacker, free of charge."
Pretty Brother: "You're not needed to check something like this."
He Yu just obediently sat next to him and watched him search, after watching for a while, a bit of realization came, "...... is Chen Man said something to you tonight?"
Xie Qingcheng had nothing to hide from He Yu in this regard. Since He Yu had asked, he thought about it and told He Yu about the situation.
When He Yu heard that it was such a thing, he couldn't help but frown, "Are you sure that video is real?"
"I'm not sure, although that video does seem to be old footage from more than a decade ago, but this kind of faking tactic is not unheard of." Xie Qingcheng paused for a moment and then continued, "But I do care about the 'listening water' that Zhao Xue was talking about in the video. This thing sounds like a drug that Xie Xue was forced to take, if the video is true, Zhilong Entertainment must not have used this kind of 'listening water' to manipulate its artists over the years."
He Yu mused, "Indeed, as long as we investigate the clues of any Zhilong Entertainment artists taking 'Listening Water', we will be able to basically determine that the footage is real, and once we get some samples of the Listening Water, Xie Xue's illness will be cured. But ......"
"But what?"
"But I'm with you, I'm also wondering who the 'good guy' is if this footage isn't an invitation to bait and switch, but a real investigative lead from some mysterious person behind the scenes."
The two of them had an extraordinary rapport when they were working on a case together.
He Yu was originally sitting on his knees beside Xie Qingcheng to look at the computer, but later he simply moved a chair over and watched Xie Qingcheng search for information on Zhilong Entertainment's artists with his cheeks on the side.
Previously, Xie Qingcheng noticed that some netizens mentioned that this entertainment company's aegyo would often be inexplicably unaccounted for after leaving the country, but Xie Qingcheng is not very good at grabbing engine data.
He Yu then pointed Xie Qingcheng to the forum post and looked up the names of the artists listed on the post, one by one, and found a very small number of old legends about "hearing water".
This information first appeared in 2002, 20 years ago indeed ......
"Brother, can you record that Chen Man video and bring it back to me next time?"
"OK, then I'll send him straight over to show you."
"I don't want to." He Yu immediately refused.
Xie Qingcheng: "What?"
"I don't like Chen Man. I don't get along with him. You want him without me and me without him."
Xie Qingcheng : "...... Just watching a video, what to want or not to want."
He Yu was very insistent: "No, just don't want him."
Xie Qingcheng is too lazy to talk to him.
After some tossing and turning, without realizing it, the time was approaching midnight.
They have established that the "listening water" Zhao Xue refers to in the video is real, and that over the years it has become a tool for the Chi-Lung Group to use against artists.
"Eight or nine is not far off, let me think about it and see if there's any way I can pry a little bit of information about what's going on inside the Zhilong Group." He Yu spoke to Xie Qingcheng as he printed out the information on those missing artists.
But this time Xie Qingcheng did not respond immediately.
He seemed to have thought of something, his black eyebrows slightly knitted as he fell into deep thought, regarding the current situation, he didn't know why, but it seemed that he suddenly didn't have the kind of optimism that He Yu had.
"Click."
The last page popped out of the printer.
Xie Qingcheng was still lost in thought, when a sudden clamor came from outside the staff dormitory, seemingly the sound of a guitar playing and the students' uproar.
He Yu heard the sound and raised his hand again to look at the surface, it was already eleven fifty-five - he looked towards Xie Qingcheng.
Xie Qingcheng was disturbed by the noise, the man got up and prepared to go to the balcony to close the window, while walking he also said coldly, "Uncharacteristic, this kind of thing again."
He Yu followed along, cautiously asking, "What is it?"
"What else can it be, it's just a public confession that adolescent kids like you like to do, a college town can see this kind of scene more than a dozen times a semester. This time I don't know what kind of idiot actually set up this kind of trashy event under the faculty dormitory."
He Yu: "......"
Xie Qingcheng went out to have a look.
And sure enough, downstairs in the dormitory I don't know which boy is ready to confess his love, heart-shaped candles on the ground, swaying in the wind, and a hired band playing adapted versions of old love songs down below.
Twelve o'clock for the medical university is not too late, many students have just come back from the night study, to see this scene have stopped to appreciate, or envy or uproar, even the staff dormitory is basically young, have not yet started a family of teachers, teachers are not sleeping, but also from the window to the head down to explore.
"So romantic ......"
"Who? Who confessed to whom?"
"How come we don't see a male or female lead and it's just the band playing?"
A student couldn't resist asking the hired musicians, "May I ask who is going to confess?"
Musician: "We don't know, overpriced orders placed anonymously online, oh yeah ......"
As if remembering something, he pulled out his cell phone, glanced at the communication log with the mystery buyer, cleared his throat, and when his teammates finished their song, he took the microphone, did what the buyer had asked, and tilted his head and shouted at the Medical University faculty dormitory building:
"This one, 'My heart will go on' was given by Mr. He to his Miss Rose to wish Miss Rose a happy birthday."
Xie Qingcheng snapped the window shut and grimaced, "These students are getting more and more stupid now. There's money to burn."
As soon as he turned his head back, he unexpectedly bumped into He Yu, who had gotten particularly close to him at some point.
"You--"
He Yu lowered his eyes as he suddenly took Xie Qingcheng's hand in his, "I'm sorry, brother. It seems you don't like it."
"......" Xie Qingcheng paused for a few seconds, suddenly reacting to what the hell was going on.
He was really a little surprised and speechless, and even wanted to punch He Yu, but his face was calm and accustomed to it, and in He Yu's opinion, he was actually quite calm, and had his Xie Qingcheng's usual indifferent demeanor.
And at that moment, the firework sticks outside the dormitory ignited, clusters of tiny golden fireworks rising upwards and exploding - it was really romantic that fireworks were not banned in Huzhou.
The starry fireworks reflected in He Yu's eyes as He Yu said, "But I ...... I've actually been preparing for this for quite a while, that's why I rushed to find you in that way, and I hope you'll be with me tonight."
"Happy birthday, brother."
Xie Qingcheng chose one of the more subdued of the many over-the-top remarks: "...... Are you having problems, my birthday is not today."
He Yu, however, rested his forehead against his, and behind them were the fireworks that continued to bloom outside the balcony window. No one knew who was confessing to whom, but the students all gasped out in awe at such a gorgeous view, and were in rapturous awe.
"I know, but I'm talking about the day you overcame death and returned to Stormlight Lane when you were thirteen."
Xie Qingcheng was stunned.
He Yu went on to say, "I purposely went to ask Auntie Lai, and although she didn't know what you had gone through, she remembered the day you were discharged from the hospital and came back after the car accident. No one understands how much you had suffered in the past, but I remembered it all in my heart, and no one has ever said to you in the past - thank you for coming back. But I want to make it up to you."
"I want you to know that with Qin Ciyan gone, there is still me who can understand you completely."
"Brother." I don't know if the sound of fireworks and laughter outside was too loud or if He Yu's voice lightened down as he rested against his forehead, held his hand, and told him, "This is a birthday that only I can celebrate for you. I know we're facing a lot of difficulties, unsolved cases, and dangers right now, but you see, there are still nice fireworks outside ...... you still have me."
"Don't you blame me for following you around and pestering you ...... today because I'm afraid even you've forgotten this day, and I really wanted to say this to you--"
"Xie Qingcheng, twenty years ago, thank you for being so strong and pulling through everything so that I could have the opportunity, to meet you like this later."
"......"
Xie Qingcheng has never experienced such a ridiculous thing.
But there is no doubt that He Yu says this with affection and sincerity.
Xie Qingcheng It's hard to put out any fire on such a feeling.
He was a person who didn't care too much about the suffering he had endured, and he had long been a person who wasn't afraid of pain. When He Yu soothes his wounds from twenty years ago, he doesn't feel much of anything. He even felt that it was not necessary, the past is the past, it's not a great thing.
But for a moment, he did develop a very unpleasant feeling - not because of himself, but because of He Yu.
Suddenly, he felt that He Yu was very pitiful, and that feeling of pity was even heavier than that of Li Ruoqiu back then. Li Ruoqiu chased after him, but later, she became the laughing stock of everyone in the hospital. Xie Qingcheng could not stand to watch, and out of pity, he was finally willing to give his hand to her - but what about He Yu?
He Yu is a man and he doesn't know what the point of He Yu pleasing himself like this is.
Because it's a quest that simply won't pay off.
He has made the answer so clear, but He Yu still insists on it so stubbornly, like an athlete who knows he's already in last place, but still insists on running to the finish line even though he's lost so badly.
Xie Qingcheng, under this almost childish affection of He Yu, his heart actually suffocated a little.
"You. ......"
Such a helpless sigh sounds gentle even to He Yu.
That's the nice thing about young boys, you don't even have to coax him, he coaxes himself.
He Yu heard his voice "you ah", seeing that it was not a reproach, his eyes brightened, his hand tightly clasped Xie Qingcheng's fingers, his palm was sweaty.
"So, did you like the surprise I had in store for you?"
"......" Xie Qingcheng trying to talk crap, I'm not twelve, of course I don't like it.
But the fireworks outside swooshed and exploded, showering the night with shattered gold.
Xie Qingcheng saw He Yu's eyes in this sudden radiant light - eyes that had only his own silhouette in them, looking at him just like that with anticipation.
Xie Qingcheng had known him for more than ten years, and had rarely seen such a gleam in this sickly child's eyes.
His calm, emotionally ironclad heart was coldly touched.
It took several seconds before he realized that the feeling seemed to be called intolerance.
The boy took his hand, which never responded, as if praying and waiting for an important test result.
"Xie Qingcheng, do you like it?"
"......"
Of course it's not like that.
Who likes kids playing house.
But it was strange that it should have hesitated so long, and not been able to pronounce the sentence in his face.
Is it true that age makes the heart softer?
Xie Qingcheng turned his gaze away, really somewhat unwilling to hurt such a sincere heart.
He Yu, however, took his turn of the head as embarrassment, and his eyes lit up even more in the fire.
Gradually, there was even some rare blushing on the face.
"Do you really like ......"
"......"
"Really like it?"
"......"
"Brother, then I'm glad."
"......"
That's about right.
Xie Qingcheng turned back and was just about to open his mouth to end the boy's self-talk.
As a result, there was a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and it was He Yu who approached him with great delight, lowered his head, and suddenly kissed him on the lips.
It turned out that the boy was mistaking his posture as he prepared to open his mouth to lecture him as a hint that he was willing to kiss him.
"......"
Xie Qingcheng In the face of the other side of this amazing confidence, a moment can not say anything.
...... Damn, he just went crazy to feel sorry for He Yu.
He Yu is so self-absorbed. Give him some sympathy and he'll look at it as a response.
But the kiss had been kissed, and it wasn't a terribly rude kiss, and there didn't seem to be much need to struggle, or else it would rather seem as if he couldn't steady himself in this junior high school scene.
He Yu stood on the balcony against the backdrop of the fireworks, holding Xie Qingcheng's hand, closing his eyes, turning his face sideways, and gently touching his lips to Xie Qingcheng's-they seldom kissed with such tranquility, though the kiss was still a one-way kiss for He Yu, and received little response from Xie Qingcheng. Xie Qingcheng's lips gently touched Xie Qingcheng's lips - they rarely had such a peaceful kiss, although this kiss was still He Yu's one-way, not getting any response from him.
But at this moment, He Yu seemed to have a feeling that what he was kissing was no longer ice, but slightly cool water, cold as yesterday, but at least it was soft and could flow into his heart.
He did not know whether this is his own illusion, just light so Xiao thought, that bubbling water seems to be filled to the eyelashes, he opened his eyes again, a stone's throw away when looking at Xie Qingcheng, his eyes are wet.
He was afraid of being seen by Xie Qingcheng, and wanted to guard his proud pride, so before Xie Qingcheng could come back to his senses, he closed his eyes again and kissed him heavily. This time the kiss was hard and lingering, he was searching for all the things that could fill his heart's desire, and wanted to give Xie Qingcheng all the things in himself that could make him live like a human being.
He was obsessively fond of him.
Tenderly like him.
Tyrannically like him.
He kissed and kissed suddenly heartbreaking pain, he felt Xie Qingcheng gave him a lot of joy, but never wanted to get something from himself. I don't know whether this is a kind of mercy or a kind of cruelty.
Medicine is three times poisonous, Xie Qingcheng did not know that when he was using himself as a medicine to cure He Yu, he had already become the crane red in He Yu's bones, etching the soul.
As He Yu fell madly in love with him, the poison emanated uncontrollably from his blood.
"Shea."
The lingering kiss ended, but the breath was still tangled.
He Yu's throat rolled and he looked at him, his eyes not wet but red by now.
But it's better this way, so that it can be falsely claimed as a desire, rather than an injury.
"Xie." He recited it again, his almond eyes gazing quietly into Xie Qingcheng's, then from his eyes to the tip of his nose, and from the tip of his nose to his lips-and then the little prince, unable to withstand the temptation of his roses, bowed his head and kissed him again, and recited it a third time, "Brother Xie."
He is a psychopath, Xie Qingcheng gave him a few good face, not even good face, he has ambition, want to hug him, want to enter him, he even want to seduce Xie Qingcheng again - as long as Xie Qingcheng kissed him a little bit, so that it is not a reneging on the promise. Then he can do whatever he wants.
He really wanted him.
Especially every time Xie Qingcheng, with an air of towering sobriety and sanity, indifferently said to him, "You really don't like me, and I don't like you, and we're thirteen years apart, and that's incorrect, and you must have gotten it wrong." When these kinds of words were spoken, he had a special desire to crush this holy fatherly man with his pile of aphorisms on the bed, on the chair, on the window sill.
Then let him know who was wrong.
The ghost of He Yu want to do this want a long time, but the previous vowed to say "I want to chase you" such stupid speech, now swallowed and too late, only to catch the opportunity to try to seduce Xie Qingcheng repeat New Year's Eve mistakes.
Now that the timing seemed right, he played nice.
"Shea, I'm glad you like it."
"Then as a reward, will you give me a kiss."
"One second and I'll stop."
No way. Kiss him and he'll stamp it as a sign of Xie Qingcheng's initiative.
He was so soft, entangled and seduced, Xie Qingcheng naturally was not seduced, but also felt that this scene was very much like a big dog lying down on the ground and rolling around, the dog's hair rubbed his nose, causing him to want to avoid. For a while, this scene was a bit funny and ridiculous.
"Shea, Shea, Shea-"
--
"How many times have I told you! Be careful of fire and candles when it's dry! You're still downstairs confessing your love with an open fire? Still blowing up fireworks for me here!!!" Just making a scene, suddenly downstairs came a broken voice yelling, it turned out to be the school's security rushed to the news.
Security brother of this will cause campus security risk behavior abhorrent, he first took a bucket of water to the confession candle Zira all doused, and then angrily toward the onlookers students yelled: "Who did this? Who did this? Which one of these morons did it?"
Student: "Uncle, we don't know!"
"How can you not know it! The whole of this kind of moth surely someone confessed ah! Where's the confessor?" The security guard asked the band angrily, "Who hired you! This is outrageous! Before the fire safety science and technology are all in vain, right? Who the hell!!!"
Band leader: "Big brother, take it easy, we really don't know, it's just a tycoon placing an order on the internet, and up to now the person hasn't shown up yet, and we don't know if it's just a joke or not."
"Yeah, maybe the list was placed wrong."
The security guard gritted his teeth in anger: "Disperse! Disperse! Don't play anymore, it's already twelve o'clock! It's twelve o'clock! You're still blowing and flicking like that! Disperse!"
Bandleader: "Ah, that's not good, there's still a few songs on the list that haven't been performed yet."
"I thought you guys said the employer didn't show up!"
"Big brother, we are a band with a conscience, as long as the buyer pays the money, then no matter whether the person appears or not, we have to finish the service as required ah. Brother, you do not angry ah, sit down and listen to the song."
"I'll listen to a damn thing! You guys get it over with!"
The following made a mess of noise, and the onlookers laughed heartily as they watched the incident. Xie Qingcheng pushed He Yu away without expression, "Look, this is what you've caused."
He Yu : "...... a few days ago there are students in the playground set up candles confession it, why do not you care about them just care about me ah."
"You're setting candles under the faculty dormitory building, whoever you care. And it's twelve o'clock."
He Yu : "Isn't everyone still awake here ......"
"...... you let the bottom stop first."
He Yu had to black out and get onto his shopping platform to communicate with the band online, and after a while, the downstairs finally settled down.
Xie Qingcheng lit a cigarette and stood on the window sill to watch the crowd below gradually disperse, the security guard was the last to leave, and before he left he noticed that Xie Qingcheng had opened the window on the dormitory building to look down.
The security guard tilted his head, "I'm sorry, Professor Xie, for disturbing your sleep."
Xie Qingcheng : "...... hard work."
When everyone had left, and silence returned to the faculty dormitory building, Xie Qingcheng turned back and looked at He Yu, who was moping on the dining table.
"Fun?"
"......"
"Too childish for you."
"......"
"Buy the guard some fruit tomorrow anonymously, it was pretty hard for him to clean up those candles of yours."
He Yu exasperatedly said, "What fruit to buy? I'll buy him some blades!"
Xie Qingcheng looked at him like a child and walked over to him with a cigarette in his mouth, "Is this how you used to chase that girl you liked?"
He Yu was impotent as soon as he heard about his black history, "...... Can you not mention that."
Xie Qingcheng dusted off the ashes of his cigarette, wanted to say "no wonder he couldn't catch up", but thought better of it, it was too damaging, so he stuffed the cigarette back into his mouth and said vaguely, "Go and take a rest."
He Yu lying on the table wilted and looked at him for a while, suddenly got up and took Xie Qingcheng's cigarettes straight from each other's mouths.
"No smoking."
Then added, "No, I said I'd give you this birthday that only the two of us know about."
Xie Qingcheng : "There's no need, I'm not in the mood, and ......"
Before he finished speaking, He Yu turned back and took out a piece of cake from the paper bag he had brought along.
Xie Qingcheng has a psychological shadow over He Yu's handmade cake, which she ate in Neverland before, resulting in an allergic hangover and a severe reaction, and was about to reject it when she saw the name of the cake store.
"Ruby".
