Love Notebook of a Reclusive Beautiful Boy - Chapter 34 

Chapter 34 

This road was destined to be bumpy, but he was determined to walk it with Du Yu.

Du Yu was hugging him, with no intention of letting go. Lying flat on Jiang Sheng like this seemed very comfortable.

The slight flush on his face had not yet faded as he slowly raised his face from Jiang Sheng’s neck. His long eyelashes trembled; perhaps just hugging Jiang Sheng like this had already taken all the courage he could muster in his life.

It was an irresistible urge, a feeling he could not control.

It compelled him to want to burrow into Jiang Sheng’s arms, carrying a slight timidity, for fear that Jiang Sheng would push him away.

Fortunately, Jiang Sheng had circled him in his arms.

It had been ten years; in his memory, it seemed like just a brief moment. He could no longer remember when the last time he was hugged by someone was.

That day in that room, Tan Shao asked Jiang Sheng to hug him, and he had been stunned.

It wasn’t because he wanted to refuse, but because he had never thought that there would still be someone who would hug him, and that person was Jiang Sheng.

He was the person who bestowed a ray of light upon his dark life; toward Jiang Sheng, he was always special.

His stiff body gradually became soft; the person hugging him was Jiang Sheng.

Even his heart softened unconsciously.

And now, he was still in Jiang Sheng’s arms.

There were many people in Jiang Sheng’s world: his mother, father, friends, and Du Yu.

But Du Yu’s world was narrow; besides Du Li, there was only Jiang Sheng.

Once he had circled him in, he could never let him out again.

Seeing Jiang Sheng staring at him, Du Yu laughed. The laugh was cute, and his pointed chin unconsciously pressed against Jiang Sheng’s chin, gently rubbing back and forth like this.

Rubbing without paying attention, it would always graze past his lips.

Jiang Sheng thought of that dream again; the person in the dream was now in his arms.

Just let it be.

He said silently in his heart.

From the moment he compromised, Jiang Sheng did not intend to turn back.

“Fun?”

His brows and eyes carried a smile as he asked Du Yu softly.

Du Yu was sticking close to him. Jiang Sheng had long legs, and lying on the bed, his lower legs were suspended in the air.

Probably because he was happy, the lower legs that Du Yu was pressing against him couldn’t stop swaying. He shook his head and smiled, “Like.”

Jiang Sheng looked at him; those pale pink lips, the lips that had made his heart itch with longing that day, were right in front of him.

But in the end, he held back and didn’t touch him.

Perhaps because compared to his chin, his lips were softer. Du Yu, rubbing his chin back and forth, seemed to have discovered something. Suddenly, he raised his chin, lowered his eyes to look at his lips, and then reached out to touch them.

Then, he touched his own lips, and right under Jiang Sheng’s gaze, he gently pressed them against his.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it was a light touch, and then he raised his head again.

No one knew why he suddenly wanted to kiss Jiang Sheng; perhaps when it comes to such things, everyone has an innate talent.

Liking someone, wanting to kiss him, wanting to be with him.

This is an instinctive desire, just like being hungry makes you want to eat, or being tired makes you want to sleep.

Jiang Sheng was stunned by his kiss. Looking at Du Yu, who had his head lowered with curiosity in his eyes, staring at Jiang Sheng without blinking like this—

Jiang Sheng knew he was unintentional, just provoking him like this, while he himself already had an inextinguishable desire for Du Yu. He was afraid his reason wouldn’t be able to hold back the impulse, causing it to break out of the fence.

Jiang Sheng raised his hand; he didn’t explain anything to him, just rubbed the back of his head, “Not allowed to do this in the future.”

The words sounded a bit like a lecture, but Jiang Sheng was actually coaxing him.

He couldn’t say harsh words to him, and he wouldn’t in the future either.

Du Yu didn’t respond to his words and buried his head back into his neck.

At the moment just now when he kissed him, the moment the four lips touched, it felt as if a warm current had flowed through his heart.

Although he didn’t understand why, he liked this feeling.

“Did you hear me?”

Seeing him not speaking, Jiang Sheng touched his head and asked again.

“A-Yu likes it.”

Du Yu replied muffledly from inside his neck.

Like, like, like.

Being with Jiang Sheng, doing anything, he liked it all.

Jiang Sheng couldn’t explain this matter clearly to him, so he didn’t talk to him much more. He laughed and hugged him tighter.

The two lay quietly on the bed for a while, and outside, Jiang Jianguo suddenly called him, “A-Sheng, hurry and come out with Young Master Du to eat.”

Jiang Sheng patted Du Yu, “A-Yu, get up, time to eat.”

Seeing the two walk out of the room, Jiang Jianguo smiled, “Hurry up and eat, the food will get cold later.”

Jiang Sheng pulled out a chair, “A-Yu, you sit here.”

Du Yu sat down obediently, and Jiang Jianguo hurriedly picked up food for him, “Young Master, these are all home-style dishes; they can’t compare to what the Du family’s chefs make, please don’t mind.”

Du Yu didn’t understand these things. Watching Jiang Jianguo pick up food for him, he reached out to pick up food for Jiang Sheng.

“A-Sheng, eat.”

Jiang Sheng smiled slightly at him.

Seeing Du Yu caring for Jiang Sheng like this, even picking up food for him while eating, Jiang Jianguo felt more at ease about the days Jiang Sheng spent at the Du family.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Sheng called Du Yanyu and told him he would bring Du Yu back tomorrow. Du Yanyu had already heard from Fang Ma about today’s events when he got home. He trusted Jiang Sheng and didn’t say anything, only asking him to take good care of Du Yu.

Jiang Sheng hung up the phone and returned the call to Sister Xia. Sister Xia said Yu Chengyan’s current state was very good, telling Jiang Sheng to be at ease.

With the two things settled, Jiang Sheng didn’t have anything else hanging on his mind for the time being.

He had originally planned to go back to the hospital after the meal, but because Du Yu had come, he gave up on that.

After getting everything mostly done, bathing Du Yu became a problem.

At the Du family, there was Fushan; Du Yu didn’t have to worry about having no one to serve him.

But at the Jiang residence, besides Jiang Sheng, there was only Jiang Jianguo, and it was obviously impossible to ask Jiang Jianguo to do this.

Jiang Sheng had bathed Du Yu before, but he really didn’t have any thoughts when he bathed him last time. Now that they knew each other’s hearts, it was truly a bit awkward.

But this awkwardness was only slight. Jiang Sheng still boiled water for him. The Jiang residence was not as wealthy as the Du family; there were no bathtubs or shower heads.

Since he was a child, Jiang Sheng had always bathed using a wooden bucket.

He finished pouring the water, and Du Yu on the side had already stripped himself naked according to his instructions.

Jiang Sheng caught a glimpse of that spot at a glance, a soft, drooping lump. He quickly averted his eyes, “A-Yu, go in.”

Du Yu took a step and sat inside.

Jiang Sheng stood on the side. He didn’t want to think about messy things. Although he had to admit he had other intentions toward Du Yu, Du Yu’s current situation forced him to dispel that thought.

He would not, and could not, touch him while Du Yu understood nothing.

He wanted to wait for him to get better; he would make him get better.

This thought became increasingly firm in Jiang Sheng’s heart.

Thinking this way, watching Du Yu half-sitting in the wooden bucket looking obedient, his mind was much calmer than before, and those thoughts seemed to have vanished like smoke.

Jiang Sheng smiled and asked, “Are you cold?”

Du Yu shrunk into the water and shook his head.

Du Yu bathed every day, and there wasn’t really any dust on his body to wash carefully; it was just washing off the sweat secreted throughout the day.

Jiang Sheng wiped his face for him, and after a simple soak for a while, he intended to let him come out.

A towel was draped on the edge of the bucket. Du Yu stared blankly for a moment, reached out, grabbed the towel, and pulled it into the bucket; it became damp and wet.

He didn’t know how to wring it out, so he just held it, then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Sheng, his voice soft and glutinous, “A-Sheng… wash too…”

The towel in his hand was still dripping water; this counted as his progress.

He was always trying his best to be good to Jiang Sheng. Watching him like this, Jiang Sheng’s heart melted. He lowered his head, stretched his face in front of him, closed his eyes, and cooperated with him.

Du Yu had been served since he was a child; it was always others serving him, and he had never served anyone else.

Wiping his face was something he learned from Fang Ma and Jiang Sheng. His learning was not quite up to par; the towel wiped around his face, splashing water drip-drop, wetting Jiang Sheng’s collar.

Water dripped into his neck. He closed his eyes and just heard Du Yu say, “Done…”

Jiang Sheng opened his eyes, clearly feeling that his face was still wet. He smiled slightly, still habitually encouraging Du Yu, “Thank you, A-Yu, you did very well.”

Du Yu lowered his head and gave a shy smile.

Suddenly catching sight of the water on Jiang Sheng’s neck, and receiving Jiang Sheng’s encouragement, he picked up the towel again, wanting to wipe him, but the towel wasn’t wrung out, so it became wetter the more he wiped. It made Du Yu start to get a bit anxious, wiping with a rather large range, “A-Yu, don’t know.”

Jiang Sheng was afraid he would get anxious, so he held his wrist, comforting him with a gentle voice, “It’s okay, A-Yu.”

He took the towel from Du Yu’s hand, wrung out the water, wiped his neck, and then smiled slightly at Du Yu, “Look, isn’t it better now?”

Seeing Jiang Sheng smile, that restless feeling from just now was gone, and he smiled obediently, “A-Yu understands.”

Jiang Sheng shook out the long towel on the side, “As long as you understand, A-Yu, come out.”

After dressing Du Yu, Jiang Sheng took him back to the room.
