Chapter 82: I Like You So, So Much (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Yu Qinghuan’s heart pounded and his intuition told him something was not right. So he immediately tried to change the subject. The next second, he saw Huo Qu sip his lips and say with grievance, “Qinghuan, you don’t want me to come to you, do you?”
“Of course not.” Yu Qinghuan replied without thinking.
“But why are there others in your room? Are they your most important people? Do you want to spend the Spring Festival with them the most?”
Yu Qinghuan immediately had a headache and wished the time would go back to a few minutes ago and swallow his words back.
Facing Huo Qu’s accusing eyes, he explained under great pressure, “Sometimes… um… Spring Festival also needs to be spent with friends.”
“Then why don’t you want to spend the festival with me? Am I not your friend?”
Huo Qu questioned, and his eyes were red.
He didn’t want to be like this either, but he just couldn’t control himself. Qinghuan was surrounded by more and more people. He was so scared that even if he tried his best to be nice to Qinghuan, he would eventually become farther away from him.
Huo Qu felt a tightness in his chest, intensely staring at Yu Qinghuan’s eyes as if he want a satisfactory answer.
“Baby,” Yu Qinghuan took him by the shoulder, sighed, and smiled, “Don’t be like this. Spring Festival is a reunion day. Brother Rui, Ruirui and I, we all have no family and can only make do with each other.”
“How about with me for next Spring Festivals?”
“No problem.”
“Then... then shall I be the most important one to you?”
Yu Qinghuan didn’t answer, Huo Qu was so nervous that he held his breath. When his heart almost jumped out, Yu Qinghuan finally spoke.
He said, “You already are.”
Huo Qu came as soon as he heard that Qinghuan was going to have a family reunion dinner tonight so he didn’t have supper. Yu Qinghuan had to heat up the leftovers on the table and brought them up to him.
Huo Qu still did not know how to use chopsticks and ate slowly. When he finally had enough, it was almost midnight in the morning.
Yu Qinghuan had just drunk a little wine, and now his head was so excited that he took Huo Qu to sit at the door and watched the fireworks together.
Although the fireworks in the sky were not as beautiful and dense as those in large squares, they reflected the starlight all over the sky, which was quite special.
Yu Qinghuan lifted up his head and had a strong feeling of the New Year. He said to Huo Qu, “Make a wish. I heard that the wishes made under the fireworks will come true.”
“Really?” Huo Qu asked pleasantly.
“Yeah,” Yu Qinghuan replied gently, quipping, “What? Don’t tell me you wish is to win the Nobel Prize!”
Just as the words fell, Huo Qu’s devout voice was ringing by Yu Qinghuan’s ears.
“I want to spend every New Year with Qinghuan,” he said.
Yu Qinghuan held his breath and his heartbeat was out of balance. After quite a while, he lowered his eyes and whispered, “You little fool.”
“Qinghuan,” just when he was in a blank, Huo Qu suddenly took his hand and shyly put something a little cool into his hand, “This is my New Year gift to you.”
“Hmm?” Yu Qinghuan lowered his head and looked into his palm.
In his palm lay a round crystal pendant, glittering and translucent, shining under the bright fireworks, as if a fallen star and was extremely beautiful. The only fly in the ointment was that the inside of the pendant was empty and there was nothing in it.
He felt a little funny, was Huo Qu take him as a little girl to send such a cute thing to him?
He was just about to ask if Huo Qu really bought the necklace for him when he heard the other party’s proud but a little shy voice, “Qinghuan, I have frozen our DNA here with liquid ethane according to the principle of frozen electron microscope, and we can see it with electron microscope.”
Huo Qu paused and carefully touched the crystal pendant with a small voice, “Qinghuan, your DNA structure is the most beautiful one I have ever seen.”
Yu Qinghuan’s fingers trembled slightly, “How did you get my DNA?”
Huo Qu took a quick glance at Yu Qinghuan, his eyelashes quivered and he said with little confidence, “I, I secretly picked up your hair.”
Yu Qinghuan tried his best to restrain his upturned lip and continued to ask, “Why do you want to do this?”
Huo Qu sipped his lip, revealing a round dimple on his left face. “Sorry, Qinghuan, sometimes I can’t stay by your side. But with this, I can be with you all the time.”
Yu Qinghuan was silent for a long time, but he managed to suppress his heart throb and said with difficulty, “But I didn’t prepare a present...”
“It doesn’t matter,” Huo Qu leaned toward him, “With you by my side, I am happier than receiving any present.”
Yu Qinghuan thought, it was must because the moonlight tonight was too beautiful, he actually had an impulse to kiss Huo Qu.
No, absolutely not! Huo Qu was the loveliest person in the world, and he could not tempt him onto this road.
However, Yu Qinghuan’s heart was turbulent and surging. He could not help but feel sour in his nose. He finally did not resist it and leaned against Huo Qu’s shoulder.
Just once, he gently closed his eyes. He indulged himself only for this once. After tomorrow, what happened today would be hidden forever in memory and never be mentioned again.
Huo Qu’s body was very warm. Even though they were separated by thick coats, Yu Qinghuan could still feel his warmth. The stamina of alcohol in Yu Qinghuan’s body reached its peak at this moment, and he fell asleep against Huo Qu’s shoulder.
“Qinghuan,” Huo Qu called him and he answered after quite some time.
Huo Qu lowered his head. From his perspective, he could see Yu Qinghuan’s soft hair, long thick eyelashes, and his high and delicate nose bridge.
This man was so beautiful almost every part of his body that he attracted Huo Qu’s sight every minute and every second. Huo Qu’s heart was beating fast and an inexplicable impulse ran around his body. He didn’t know what to do to ease this feeling.
He instinctively hugged Yu Qinghuan and rubbed his head gently with his own head, there was an extreme desire in his voice, “Qinghuan, I like you so, so much.”
On his shoulder, Yu Qinghuan’s lips slightly curled and he was sleeping soundly.
