Arc 2: Chapter 15
Fu Cheng stood on the vacant sidewalk.
It was 4 o’clock in the morning, and he saw the thick ink of night slosh around him, and he saw the gray concrete extend into the depths of an abyss. He saw himself, a pitiful person that no one wanted.
The amount of time Fu Cheng had left to live was too short compared to other people who would live to seventy, eighty, or one hundred years old. For him, he would die when he was 18, the time he just turned into an adult.
Eighteen years was short, and time warped Fu Cheng into perceiving the world in extreme black and white. His love was just as extreme as his hatred. And just now, he started to hate Lin Yuan.
At five o’clock, peddlers came out. Some of them noticed the teenager standing on the sidewalk, some of them didn’t.
At six o’clock, more people had gotten up. The city gradually woke up from its sleep.
Fu Cheng didn’t move a muscle, as if he could not feel the passage of time. It wasn’t until he felt a vibration from his phone that he jolted awake from the terrible nightmare.
He took out his phone and read Lin Yuan’s reply.
Together……
They could still be together.
Fu Cheng wanted to smile, but he finally didn’t seem to have the strength to wear his mask.
He waited, like he used to do. But this time, he waited for Lin Yuan. He saw the teenager run towards him, wearing the same school uniform.
Fu Cheng looked at Lin Yuan, and his vision suddenly seemed to distort. The person he liked became a monster-like abyss, and swallowed him little by little.
He couldn’t run away.
Lin Yuan ran to Fu Cheng and panted, and his eyes were full of worry. He started to raise his hand to touch Fu Cheng’s face, but when he thought of what happened between them, his movements stopped.
Fu Cheng saw that the hand that wanted to touch him was going away and grabbed it and forced it to cover his face.
Lin Yuan was stunned by the coldness of Fu Cheng’s skin. The other’s hand and face were not as hot as they usually were, and they felt like another person, like his Huo Chen.
Fu Cheng was no longer going to hide himself, fake himself, and he didn’t need to anymore. He lightly rubbed against Lin Yuan’s warm hand and said hoarsely and brokenly: “...Lin……Lin Yuan…”
Lin Yuan hadn’t realized before, but because of the lingering memories of their kiss and their touches, he realized that Fu Cheng’s voice was extremely alluring.
His heart beat faster and he inadvertently made eye contact with Fu Cheng. He inexplicably felt the same feeling from two nights ago, and his throat felt dry.
“En…” Lin Yuan stammered: “What… what’s wrong?”
Fu Cheng stared at the teenager and continued to lean against the warm palm of the other party. He liked its temperature to the point of infatuation and addiction.
“Lin Yuan……”
Fu Cheng lowered his eyes. His long, slender eyelashes covered his eyes with a shadow and concealed his feelings. He started to press kisses onto Lin Yuan’s palm, and his cold lips felt like a snake that was slowly climbing over the skin.
Lin Yuan’s breathing stagnated. When he reacted, he wanted to pull away his hand: “Fu Cheng! You can’t一”
Fu Cheng didn’t give him a chance to refuse. As long as the other didn’t say anything, or as long as he didn’t hear anything, then he could deceive himself.
No refusal, no hate, nothing.
Alleyways littered the city and could be found everywhere. Fu Cheng pulled Lin Yuan into a cold and dark alley where the light didn’t reach, a place that was most familiar for him.
Fu Cheng placed his hand behind the teenager’s head and pressed the other onto the brick wall. When he kissed the other, Fu Cheng felt everything was how it should be.
It was already clear to Lin Yuan that Fu Cheng liked himself. What they did before was half because Lin Yuan was insistent, but also half because of Fu Cheng’s willingness. Since Fu Cheng was sober, if he really didn’t want to, then they would not have done those things with each other.
Now that they were both sober, they shouldn’t continue.
Lin Yuan struggled, but his resistance was not comparable to Fu Cheng’s strength.
Fu Cheng had stood outside for too long and his tongue was chillier than before. He licked Lin Yuan’s soft and heated lips, but when he was about to go deeper, he found that Lin Yuan’s teeth were shut tight.
Fu Cheng curled his lips and moved his hands downwards and rubbed someplace.
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. They were outside! In public!
“Fu Cheng…” As soon as he spoke, Fu Cheng took the opportunity to dive into his mouth and lick Lin Yuan’s tongue.
Only then did Lin Yuan realize that Fu Cheng rubbed himself intentionally and he had been fooled.
Fu Cheng’s kissing skills were much more skillful than before. His lips and tongue entangled with the other while his slender fingers caressed Lin Yuan’s waist and stimulated the other’s body.
Lin Yuan’s ability to think was stolen by the teenager’s intense kiss and he was kissed into a daze.
The kiss was long and deep to the point that Lin Yuan felt as if he had been invaded by Fu Cheng inside and out. His whole body was marked with traces and the other’s breath.
His tongue faintly hurt, and there was a faint taste of blood in his mouth.
But Fu Cheng didn’t want to let Lin Yuan go. Even after he withdrew, he pecked Lin Yuan’s lips and said: “Lin Yuan, you like it. You like me kissing you, I know, I can feel it.”
Lin Yuan’s breathing was in disorder and the stimulation had made his eyes red and eyelashes wet: “I…I…I don’t like… don’t like…”
Wuuu, really want to be a big, bad scumbag and kiss Fu Cheng.
He used to tell his husband that he didn’t want others to kiss him, he only wanted to kiss his husband. Who knew he accidentally set up a flag, wuuuu.
No wonder humans say that men’s mouths are deceptive ghosts, and there were humans who would rather believe that there were ghosts in the world than believe in what men say. Sure enough, men were all words no actions, same as him.
Fu Cheng wasn’t convinced by Lin Yuan’s words. The other was not firm at all, and it completely didn’t seem like he was rejecting himself.
The hand on Lin Yuan’s waist moved down a little and pinched the softness thoughtfully. He gently bit the other’s earlobe and said charmingly: “I don’t believe a word that you say. Lin Yuan, you like it. When I kissed you, you felt good.”
Lin Yuan didn’t expect Fu Cheng to act more rogue and he blushed and grabbed the other’s hand. He looked up with misty eyes and said anxiously: “You… don’t touch it! You also can’t kiss me later… I… I can’t…”
He can’t cheat.
He liked Fu Cheng a little bit, but he still liked Huo Chen more.
“Why?”
Fu Cheng didn’t understand. “You took initiative that night. You were the one who called me husband, who wanted to kiss me, and you were the one to let me help you.”
Lin Yuan couldn’t tell Fu Cheng that he mistook the other for Huo Chen. It was too strange, why did he regard Fu Cheng as Huo Chen? Was it because when drunk, the brain was too confused and recognized the wrong person?
“That night, I was drunk……”
Lin Yuan tried to awkwardly explain. He said in a small voice: “My mind was confused, so…… so…”
Fu Cheng interrupted with a dry chuckle: “So you called me husband, asked to kiss, and let me help you feel good. Lin Yuan, even if you want to find an excuse, can you find a good one? Listen to yourself, would you believe it?”
Lin Yuan felt more embarrassed. He didn’t believe it, but he could only continue to be stubborn: “I believe it ah. Facts show that it’s not surprising that people do unexpected things when they’re drunk. It seems like my situation…… is also quite normal.”
Fu Cheng looked at the teenager who kept rejecting him, and his eyes darkened completely and became bloodthirsty. In their depths, the stench of death and decay surged.
【Di! High risk warning! The villain’s blackening value has risen to 99%!】
【Di! High risk warning! High risk warning! The villain’s blackening value has risen to 99.99%! 99.99%! The value is approaching the critical point……】
Lin Yuan: “!!!”
521: “!!!”
521 collapsed once again, and he shook Lin Yuan vigorously: “Ahhhhh! It’s over, over! 99.99% again! What to do? Senior, quickly think of something ah!!”
It thought to itself that the mission target probably became this way because the Senior kept on rejecting him, and it directly evolved from a furball into a screaming chicken: “Ahhh Senior, quickly cheat! Just go and cheat! Please, if you don’t cheat in the next second, the task will fail!”
Lin Yuan: “......”
521, yesterday you were telling me not to cheat!
You also told me I couldn’t have a second husband!
Your words change quicker than men's.
Compared to the panic of 521, Lin Yuan was much calmer.
The dawn had not yet completely broken. Lin Yuan looked at the beautiful and exquisite teenager under the remaining darkness of the night, and for the first time, he faced the real Fu Cheng. The dark and empty Fu Cheng.
Lin Yuan had pretended not to notice the other’s abnormality that night. He pretended to not think of how the other exceedingly depended on himself.
“Fu Cheng.”
Lin Yuan called the other softly, and then switched their positions. He pressed the blank and unresisting teenager onto the wall.
“Fu Cheng…” Lin Yuan approached Fu Cheng and cruelly tore away the cover of deception between them: “The person I called that night wasn’t you. You’re so smart, you probably guessed it right?”
Fu Cheng’s eyelashes trembled, and his pair of gloomy eyes stared at Lin Yuan. For the first time, he felt that the simple and harmless teenager was more cruel than those two.
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Fu Cheng tightened his hold on Lin Yuan and wanted to kiss him to block his mouth.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and pressed it over Fu Cheng’s cool lips, and his heart felt tangled: “Fu Cheng, I’m saying, that night, I thought I was doing those things with the person I like, not with you.”
【Di! Warning! Warning! The villain’s blackening value has risen to 99.999%!】
Lin Yuan was actually very, very nervous, but he still had to pretend wuuuu.
“Fu Cheng, to be honest, I do like you a little. But the person I like should still be alive, so I can’t be with you now.”
For the blackening value, he could lie, but this time he said the truth: “20 years okay? Wait until we’re 30 years old, and if you still like me, we will be together for the rest of our lives.”
