Your Boyfriend is Great! He's Mine Now - Chapter 12

Shen Xubai knew Su Chen was worried about him, but rather than saying “I’m fine” with his mouth, it was better to let him see for himself.

As soon as Su Chen entered the door, he changed his shoes, washed and disinfected his hands, and then began to look around. Nothing seemed to be missing, and nothing had changed.

He occupied the sofa and suddenly let out an “Eh,” “Brother Shen, did you drink last night?”

Shen Xubai followed his gaze to the trash can. “Why are you looking at the trash can for no reason? Aren’t you afraid of it being dirty?”

Su Chen’s two delicate eyebrows twisted together in an expression that said, “I knew you were just putting on a brave front.”

…It was impossible to explain clearly now.

“I’m really fine, I just drank a little to help me sleep.”

“You even forgot to take out the trash. You never used to do that. Every time I came over, your place was spotless.”

Su Chen’s face was filled with sorrow as he opened his arms. “Brother Shen, out with the old and in with the new. Give you a loving hug.”

He really had been wronged…

He had zoned out after waking up this morning, then thought about that dream, which caused him to be twenty minutes later than usual in leaving. It was only in his rush that he forgot to take out the trash.

After a brief touch of body temperature, Shen Xubai let him go and pulled open the refrigerator. “What do you want to drink?”

“What do you have?”

“Beer, water, milk.”

“Then beer.” Su Chen rolled over and asked excitedly again, “Brother Shen, is my car handsome? My brother just bought it for me. I’m going to call Yuze to go for a joyride later; why don’t you come with us?”

Shen Xubai tossed him a bottle of water. “I’m not going. You guys have fun.”

Su Chen didn’t force him; Shen Xubai didn’t like that kind of street racing.

“Knock, knock—”

Shen Xubai stood up. “It should be the sofa; I’ll go open the door.”

After the two workers installed the bed and sofa, Shen Xubai scanned two hundred yuan as a tip, which was the effort fee for helping to dispose of the old mattress and old sofa.

“Alright, the help is done. You go and play.”

Su Chen, who had only helped by handing two bottles of water to the workers the whole time, nodded obediently. “Then I’m leaving. See you later, Brother Shen.”

Shen Xubai stood at the door and watched him go. He didn’t turn to enter and close the door until the person had gotten into the elevator, and then he proceeded to continue cleaning.

The sofa and the bed were the same models; he should be able to adapt quickly.

After packing the trash, Shen Xubai pulled open the door and collided head-on with Gu Linyuan, who was preparing to knock.

The two stared blankly at each other.

The smell of alcohol that rushed toward him made Shen Xubai frown straight away. “Please move aside.”

Gu Linyuan didn’t move. “Going out?”

“No duh.”

Gu Linyuan propped himself against the wall, blocking his path, and hooked his lips into a languid smile. “So fierce, Senior.”

The tail of the sound was drawn out very long. That “Senior” sounded as if it had been teased between his lips and tongue, changing the originally tense atmosphere into one of ambiguity.

Shen Xubai stared at his eyes; they were somewhat red, somewhat deep, and filled with an obvious mist. He must have drunk quite a bit.

Shen Xubai didn’t want to get entangled with a drunkard, so he bypassed him sideways and entered the elevator without looking back.

The moment the trash went into the bin, Shen Xubai felt relaxed.

Passing by the garage, his footsteps paused. The parking space next to his used to be a BYD, something with a license plate ending in 75, but now it had changed into a Bentley with a license plate ending in 88 very familiar, as he had only just sat in it yesterday.

It must be the “power of money.”

Otherwise, how could even the license plate on the top be changed to Gu Linyuan’s in just one short day?

Shen Xubai didn’t pay too much attention; a young master like him wouldn’t be used to living in this kind of old residential area.

Suddenly thinking of the gossip Su Chen brought up during dinner, Shen Xubai pursed his lips and suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore.

The night was like a velvet cloth soaked in ink, wrapping around the entire building.

Gu Linyuan leaned askew against the door, his neck slightly tilted back, his Adam’s apple rolling lightly with the motion of his breathing. The sound-controlled light had long since gone out. Moonlight sliced in diagonally from the ventilation window, plating his angular profile in a layer of silver frost. The cigarette between his fingertips flickered on and off, with the ash accumulating into a long section before dropping to the ground.

He looked over.

The child born of a fairy-like figure wouldn’t be bad either, but there wasn’t a trace of feminine air on Gu Linyuan’s face; such an aggressive appearance must have come from his father.

Shen Xubai lifted his foot, and the sound-controlled light turned on.

“Please move aside.”

Gu Linyuan pinched out the cigarette butt, his thin lips opening slightly. “Hedgehog.”

The cigarette, mixed with the smell of alcohol, made Shen Xubai’s nose uncomfortable. He frowned. “What?”

“Clearly, when we had hot pot together yesterday, Senior was very easy to talk to, and would care about my studies and health. Why have you changed today?”

Shen Xubai reiterated once again: he had never cared about Gu Linyuan’s studies or health; that was just politeness.

“Is it because I confessed to Senior?”

Shen Xubai paused for a second and answered: “Yes.”

But that wasn’t entirely it; it was mainly that Gu Linyuan wasn’t very polite gentle on the surface, but very aggressive in his behavior.

Forcing him into the car, photographing him brazenly, and teasing him downstairs at the residential complex.

“Ah, that’s a bit heartbreaking…”

On Gu Linyuan’s face, besides curiosity, there was only a look of being itching to try; the only thing missing was heartbreak. He asked: “Is Senior this heartless to everyone who confesses to you?”

“Yes.”

Gu Linyuan didn’t get angry, instead laughing. “Senior did very well, you should be rewarded.”

As he said this, he spread his palm, inside which lay a White Rabbit creamy candy.

Shen Xubai remained silent for a few seconds, taking a deep breath. “Move.”

“Senior, I forgot my home door password. Can I borrow a place to stay for the night at your house?”

It wasn’t the first time Shen Xubai had faced a suitor, but this was his first time seeing one so bold.

“There are hotels outside.”

“My stomach hurts.”

“There are pharmacies outside.”

“I want Senior to rub it for me.”

Shen Xubai couldn’t endure it any longer; a thin layer of rage flushed his face. “Move!”

Gu Linyuan stared at the thin red flush at the corners of his eyes for a few seconds and obediently moved aside. “Senior, has anyone ever told you that the way you get angry is very alluring?”

The response he received was a “BANG!”

Gu Linyuan laughed so hard he couldn’t straighten his waist  Senior is so cute.

With one hand pressing against his stomach, he thought aimlessly, it seems it doesn’t hurt as much anymore.

The White Rabbit candy was peeled and thrown into his mouth. The man’s voice still held a hint of annoyance and confusion: “It’s very sweet, why didn’t you want it…”

After Shen Xubai finished showering and replied to some work-related messages, he prepared to sleep.

【G】: Senior, there is no mineral water at home, and I need to take medicine. Can I borrow a bottle?

Shen Xubai felt like this person’s brain truly had something wrong with it.

Or did he look like an idiot?

Turning off his phone, Shen Xubai turned off the light and closed his eyes.

A minute later, knocking sounds came from the door.

Shen Xubai twisted his brow, turning over and pretending he didn’t hear it.

The rhythmic knocking forced Shen Xubai to get out of bed and open the door.

“Do you have a disease?!”

Gu Linyuan looked as if he had just finished showering not long ago; his hair was half-dry and had no styling to speak of, just hanging obediently over his forehead rarely well-behaved.

If one ignored his naked upper body, that is.

What is this doing?

Acting like a hooligan?

Shen Xubai stalled for a moment, standing stunned in place.

Gu Linyuan’s expression was as usual. “Senior, can you give me a bottle of water?”

Shen Xubai hurriedly looked away in a daze, turning around to get a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator to hand to him.

“Senior.”

His hand on the door pausing, Shen Xubai said impatiently, “What else is the matter?”

Gu Linyuan revealed his signature smile again, like a gentle and harmless junior. “Thank you, Senior. Good night, sweet dreams.”
