185. Confession

Wei Qing coughed softly and carefully while rubbing the boy’s head.

“What are you thinking about? Don’t stand still. Get up, rinse and eat.”

“No,” Yan Chuyang brushed his hand away and said calmly, “I still remember what happened yesterday.”

There was a thump in Wei Qing’s heart.

‘It seems like he is really angry. He hasn’t forgotten it all night even after a sleep.’

After two or three seconds.

“Alright,” Wei Qing broke the silence, pretended to calm down and kissed the boy’s forehead, then didn’t continue this topic.

“Do you feel uncomfortable when you get up? I saw you felt very hot last night.”

Yan Chuyang frowned and saw the towel on his stomach. He coughed and asked, “Did you take off my clothes?”

“Yes,” Wei Qing pulled the shirt from the corner of the bed and put it on for Yan Chuyang.

Wei Qing whispered as he was buttoning clothes for Yan Chuyang, “It was hot last night and you were wearing a suit. You went to bed with your clothes on. You look so hot that I helped you peel it off.”

Yan Chuyang lowered his head and did not say anything, allowing Wei Qing to help him button up.

“Should I wear the pants for you or you wear it yourself?”

Yan Chuyang turned his mind and winced to pull his pants from the corner of the bed, “I’ll do it myself.”

Wei Qing drew back, both hands ringing his chest while he was leaning against the night table. He was looking at the pink tinge on the tips of the boy’s tender ears with pleasure.

Yan Chuyang felt uncomfortable when Wei Qing was watching and he said, “Don’t look at me putting on pants.”

If in the past, he must feel free to get changed in front of Wei Qing. He liked Wei Qing anyway, so he didn’t have to hide anything in front of Wei Qing; but after having a dream this morning, he became a little embarrassed.

“Please,” Wei Qing said softly, “It doesn’t bother you if I’m here.”

“But I don’t want you to see it,” Yan Chuyang raised his head and said seriously.

Wei Qing blinked his eyes and looked embarrassed. After a long silence, he tightened his throat and asked, “What’s wrong with you? I didn’t see you shy when you were wearing cartoon underpants and walking back and forth in front of me before. Why can’t you do that today? I’m your husband, can’t I look at your legs?”

Yan Chuyang gritted his teeth angrily. “Yes, I just don’t want you to see it.”

“I do want to look at it!” Wei Qing suddenly grabbed a small stool beside him and sat beside the boy’s bed. His eyes were fixed on the long legs that could not be concealed under the thin towels.

Yan Chuyang was also anxious; he suddenly hit the bed board and shouted, “Don’t push me! I don’t want to beat you early in the morning!”

Looking at the boy’s pale face, Wei Qing frowned and stood up regretfully. “Alright, I won’t see it if you don’t want me to do so.”

After saying that, Wei Qing turned his back to him.

Yan Chuyang snorted and muttered, “That’s better. Don’t bother me if you don’t want to get beat up.”

Then, the boy picked up his pants to put it on, but he felt there was something wrong when he lowered his head to see his underpants.

‘I remember that I was wearing the underpants with Minions on it yesterday. Why am I wearing a pair of underpants with Doraemon?’

‘The moment I came back yesterday, I fell asleep without changing clothes.’

“Wei Qing?” After putting on his pants, Yan Chuyang called out full of doubt.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Qing turned back.

“Why are my underpants changed?” Yan Chuyang pointed at his underpants, “I was wearing the pair with Minions yesterday.”

“Oh,” the man said calmly, “It was changed by me.”

Yan Chuyang frowned, “Why did you change my underpants as I didn’t take a shower?”

“At 5:00 in the morning, you had a wet dream.”

Yan Chuyang was stunned for two seconds. After he realized what the man meant, he suddenly coughed.

Yan Chuyang was choked by Wei Qing’s words.

Wei Qing hurriedly came over and frowned when giving him a pat on the back, “Why are you so surprised? Isn’t it normal?”

“Get out!” Yan Chuyang pushed him away and roared, “Stay away from me! I don’t want to see you!”

A sharp pain flashed across the man’s face. “What’s wrong? Can’t I do it? ? Yan Chuyang, I’m your husband. Why can’t I take care of you now?”

Yan Chuyang grinded his teeth, “But why did you help me at that time?”

Wei Qing was stunned, “When?”

“When I fell asleep! When I wasn’t awake!”

Wei Qing shook his head in bewilderment, “Why not? I didn’t want to wake you up when you fell asleep.”

“I don’t need it!” Yan Chuyang beat the board and yelled, “That was my first time!”

Seeing his appearance of collapse, Wei Qing couldn’t bear to go over and touched the boy’s chin. “What’s wrong? What does the first time mean?”

Yan Chuyang frowned helplessly and burried his head between his knees. “Forget it, you don’t understand even if I told you.”

Wei Qing sat down beside him and whispered, “Do you feel ashamed for that?”

Yan Chuyang didn’t say anything and the room fell into an awkward silence.

“Alright,” after a long silence, Wei Qing squeezed out a sentence from his mouth, “I won’t help you with it if you feel uncomfortable about it.”

“That’s not what I mean!” Yan Chuyang suddenly raised his head. “I think you should wake me up when you want to help me.”

Wei Qing’s face froze. “Why should I wake you up?”

“Isn’t this kind of thing mutual?” Yan Chuyang stared at him and frowned, “We didn’t have any interaction at all…”

“Idiot,” Wei Qing finally couldn’t hold back. He hugged the boy and bit his ear. “Do you really want to make me love you so much?”

Lying dejectedly on Wei Qing’s shoulder, Yan Chuyang muttered, “You don’t understand at all, even after I tell you.”

“I understand it,” Wei Qing released him and touched the boy’s forehead, “You feel like there wasn’t any interaction between us, right? It won’t happen next time!”

Yan Chuyang sighed, “There’s no next time. I still remember what happened yesterday.”

Wei Qing felt a chill in his heart. ‘Why are you talking about this again?’

‘Can’t you forget it?’

Wei Qing sighed and sat down beside Yan Chuyang. He said softly, “I apologize for what happened yesterday.”

Yan Chuyang clenched his fists and muttered, “Why didn’t you help me? Why didn’t you get up to the stage?”

“But why didn’t you come down?” Wei Qing frowned, “Yan Chuyang, tell me the truth. Do you really trust me in that situation? If you really treat me as your boyfriend, would you not dare to make a call to me? After all, you never thought of me as someone you could rely on, right?”

“Yes,” Yan Chuyang said without hesitation, “You’re right.”

Wei Qing felt suffocated.

The two of them remained silent.

After a long time, Yan Chuyang murmured, “Wei Qing, I want a divorce.”

“No.”

“Haven’t you figured it out yet?” Yan Chuyang turned his head and stared at the man’s side face. “We can’t trust each other. I don’t dare ask you for help when no one would help me because I think you will refuse, and you can’t be the first to jump in and defend me. The two of us aren’t fit to be together now.”

“Then who do you think you are suitable to be with?” The man suddenly turned and looked at him with cold and sinister.

Yan Chuyang’s expression froze. “I just think it’s better for us to separate.”

“What do you do after we break up?” Wei Qing frowned and said in a flat voice, “Are you going to be free to fall in love with another guy right now?”

“Wei Qing!”

“Yan Chuyang, I’ve put up with you for a long time,” Wei Qing stared coldly at the boy. “Since the first time you said that you wanted to divorce, I’ve thought about whether I should r*pe you or not in case you change your mind frequently. Do you really think you are qualified to talk with me like that now if it were not for my kindness to you?”

Yan Chuyang’s neck was pierced by his cold tone and he said in a trembling voice, “You can’t treat me like this.”

Looking at the boy’s flickering eyes, Wei Qing snorted and shook his head, “You are certain that I can’t stand your pitiful expression; that’s why you are so fearless all the time, right?”

Yan Chuyang clenched his fists. “I must divorce you.”

“You’d better give up the idea,” Wei Qing stood up from the bed and said in a flat voice, “This marriage was started by me and it won’t be over unless I accept it.”

Then he walked towards the kitchen after saying that.

“Wei Qing,” Yan Chuyang stopped him, “Are you staying married because you like me?”

Time froze in an instant. The room was so quiet that each of them could hear the other’s heartbeat.

Yan Chuyang held breathing and asked carefully, “Do you like me, a little?”

‘Just a little bit; it could convince me to stay by his side.’

The man was standing motionlessly.

The clock was ticking and Yan Chuyang’s heart was sinking gradually.

Just as he felt that Wei Qing was going to fall into silence for a long time, the man finally turned around and asked calmly, “What about you, have you ever liked me? Have you really placed me in your heart for the past few months of marriage?”

Yan Chuyang clenched his fists and pondered for a long time. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief and stared at the man, then said word by word. “I like you. I’ve liked you ever since I was fourteen. Wei Qing, I’ve liked you for five whole years.”

Yan Chuyang really couldn’t hold it in anymore. He didn’t care about his dignity; he still had to tell Wei Qing that he liked him.

The man was in a daze for a long time before he turned his head in disbelief. “You are lying. You never knew me at that time.”

“I’ve seen you before,” Yan Chuyang frowned and rubbed his knees. “My house was very close to Wei Yuan’s. I saw your photos at his house when I went to play with him, then I liked you.”

Wei Qing frowned, “So you fell in love with me even if you just met me in the photo once, right?”

Yan Chuyang nodded.

“Why did you have a crush on me?”

Yan Chuyang frowned and pondered for a while. Finally, he raised his head and said firmly, “Face.”

The man frowned in disagreement, “Yan Chuyang, do you like me just for that?”

‘Only because of my face? Just because I am handsome?’

‘Huh, what if I am old? What if something happens to me and I am disfigured? What if I become ugly when I grow old?’

‘Would you still love me if I am not handsome anymore one day?’

Just like Wei Qing saw a box of candy when he was a child. The box was very beautiful. He thought that he would like to eat all the candies in it, so he hugged it happily and treasured it up. But one day, when he took out the candy and took a bite, it tasted bad. He found that they were durian candies that he hated most.
