Chapter 106: “Because You Don’t Have A Watch.” (1)
In the quiet corridor, every word of his flew into Yu Qinghuan’s ears, so dense and so affectionate, like a glass of superb wine, even with a smell, Yu Qinghuan was already drunk in it.
His heart was trembling, and he almost couldn’t help touching Huo Qu’s face.
How could this man be so nice? How could he be so sweet? What had he done in his previous life to deserve him?
His heart was pounding in his chest. Yu Qinghuan closed his eyes and nearly wanted him to hold him like this until the end of the world.
But the wrinkled collar of Huo Qu’s windcoat immediately brought him back to reality. Thinking of what Huo Qu might have gone through, he still felt very scared now.
If something bad happened to Huo Qu on his way here, if he could never make it here…
On thinking of those possibilities, Yu Qinghuan’s heart ached as he barely could breathe. He pushed Huo Qu away, under Huo Qu’s confusing staring, he pulled him in toughly and pushed him into the couch.
“Qinghuan…”Huo Qu tried to stretch out for his hand but he avoided him.
“Sit here and don’t move!” Leaving these words, Yu Qinghuan quickly ran into the bedroom and came back with a square medical kit.
After fumbling in the medicine kit for some time, he finally took out a bottle of ethyl alcohol, which he half sprinkled and half poured and soaked the cotton swabs. Then he went to Huo Qu and ordered him with a cold face, “Look up!”
Huo Qu obediently raised his head, eyes directly looking into Yu Qinghuan’s face, with all joys in them. He even forgot the pains of ethyl alcohol stimulating the wound.
“How did you get hurt?” Yu Qinghuan’s voice was harsh but his action was very gentle, like Huo Qu was a fragile china doll.
“Got hit by a bicycle.” Huo Qu said casually.
Speaking of which, he stretched out a hand trying to touch the wound Qinghuan had just applied some medicine, but got slapped off by Qinghuan.
“How could you!” With raging fire in his eyes, fists clenched, he yelled, “This is dangerous? You know? Don’t you have your bodyguards? Where were they? Didn’t they protect you? It’s a bicycle today, tomorrow it might be…”
Yu Qinghuan felt a chest pain and swallowed the words left. When he looked into Huo Qu’s confusing eyes, suddenly some kind of deep self-loathing rose in his heart.
If he hadn’t avoided him all the time, how would Huo Qu have risked his life to come here? It was all his fault. He knew everything clearly in his heart but still god mad at him…
Huo Qu must have been frightened, thinking he had done something unforgivable…
Yu Qinghuan turned his face aside, so Huo Qu wouldn’t see his red eyes. He tried to say in a calm voice, “Sorry, Huo Qu, I shouldn’t get mad at you. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…”
All his strength seemed to flow out with his anger. He stared down at the ground and mumbled, “If something had happened to you, what should I do?”
“Qinghuan,” Seeing the drops rippling on the floor, Huo Qu got panicked and held Yu Qinghuan in his arms, trying to comfort him in inconsistent words, “I will be fine. Qinghuan…I…I am fine. Don’t…don’t be sad…”
He was the one who got injured but now tried to comfort him. Looking at Huo Qu who lost his head, Yu Qinghuan could no longer hold his tears.
“Qinghuan, don’t be sad.” Huo Qu didn’t know how to comfort him, but could only make two circles there and then suddenly sat down. He held up Yu Qinghuan’s face and said with a tone Yu Qinghuan had ever used to him, “Qinghuan, don’t cry. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.”
He struggled to organize his words, “I…I will never come to see you.” After a pause, he thought it was too hard for him to keep this promise, he then jittered to add, “But…but when I really missed you too much, I might still….I think I might still…come to see you.”
Seeing Yu Qinghuan still didn’t talk to him, Huo Qu nerved himself and lowered his head and kissed him on the face gently, “Don’t cry. Qinghuan, be good. Don’t cry.”
Yu Qinghuan’s body immediately went stiff. His conditioned response made him push him away, but emotionally he still didn’t move a finger of his.
After quite some time, Yu Qinghuan finally came to himself. Looking at that pretty face right before his eyes, he put on a serious look and wanted to put things straight with him.
He stretched out his hand and flicked on Huo Qu’s forehead, saying with a warning tone, “If you ever come alone like this, I’m gonna let you return the same way you came!”
He must teach him a lesson. Otherwise if he did this one more time, his heart really couldn’t take it.
Huo Qu’s eyes widened, as if he did not believe that Yu Qinghuan would be so cruel to him. He pursed his lips and wanted to protest, but then he suddenly thought of something, a cocky smile rose on his face, “But I know the way now. No matter how many times you ask me back, I will always make it here.”
Huo Qu even dared to talk back now! When Yu Qinghuan was about to open his mouth, Huo Qu added, “But I’m afraid I can’t take the same route when I go back, because I don’t remember the way back,”
