Xie Yan had told Shu Nian when they said their goodbye that he would return home right after the meeting. However, eventually the one who boarded the plane was the responsible and diligent Manager Fan.
There was nothing to do at the company and it was like he was having a getaway by giving himself a few days to rest.
Xie Yan always wanted to see that man whenever he passed by or when he was bored.
Xie Yan saw a couple kissing in front of a door right after he came out of the elevator. Xie Yan scrunched up his eyebrows. Please. Even if it's already midnight, there's no need to be so intimate in this kind of place. It only takes two steps to open the door. Can't they wait until they are inside the room to get intimate?
He suddenly felt something wasn't right just as he walked past them. Although the lighting was dimmed, judging by the height and build of the person that was pressed against the wall, that person was obviously...a man.
Damn! Gays...
Later on, the movements from the tall foreigner with his hair tied into a ponytail was getting more and more intense. The intense movements were making the clothes worn by the shorter man almost tear and the atmosphere to turn lustful. Xie Yan felt like he had swallowed a fly and it made his stomach feel uncomfortable. All of a sudden, his mouth twitched in disgust. He was about to retreat swiftly to a safe distance, when the guy whose jacket was already rolled up high by the foreigner let out a faint refusal: "Don't want...don't...don't touch me."
Xie Yan took a deep breath and before his mind could register what was happening, he had rushed and pulled the foreigner away. He then landed a hard blow on the man's face: "You piece of shit. What are you doing you bastard?"
The distorted guy that was leaning against the wall trembling slightly and covering his face with one hand, while his other hand frantically pulled his clothes was actually Shu Nian.
Xie Yan felt the veins on his forehead bulge. He pulled the foreigner's collar and [1] recklessly punched him a few times. The man was caught off guard and suffered a few blows before he finally erupted and cursed as he was barely able to stop Xie Yan's fist: "What are you doing?! I will call the police!"
[T/N: [1] 不管三七二十一 is actually to ignore all consequences or situation.]
Police? You dare to call them even though you X him! Xie Yan's reaction was like a jealous husband that had caught his partner committing adultery. He grabbed the man's collar tightly and his eyes were red with rage: "What are you doing to him? Huh?! You piece of crap. Son of a bitch % *&??! ^ %% "
[T/N: self-censored by Lanlin.]
Xie Yan hated that there were not enough crude profanities that he could use, despite all those years he spent learning advance English. He was really resentful with the fact that he couldn't express his anger to the fullest.
The man was able to understand some of it and pushed the freaky Xie Yan away from him. Surprisingly his expression was very manly: "I just want to make it clear, this is our personal matter, and what does that have anything to do with you?"
Xie Yan wasn't in any mood to entertain him: "He said he didn't want it. Are you deaf? Couldn't hear what he said?! Did you want to rape him?!"
"It was just role-play between lovers." The man didn't want to admit his defeat, "Mister, you shouldn't intervene."
All of sudden, Xie Yan felt his head aching and he pulled Shu Nian towards him. Shu Nian staggered several steps: "Who says that I can't intervene?!"
The man's expression changed and he snaked his arms out to hug the blurry-eyed Shu Nian who was still unable to stand steadily: "That was supposed to be my line. This is a personal matter between lovers, and it's completely unrelated to you. I will call the police if you keep on interfering."
"Lover? Him?!" Xie Yan realized that his face had most likely distorted into something horrendous, "You should stop dreaming!" His hand fiercely pointed at the man's nose: "I'm his boyfriend. A bastard like you should just get the hell away from here and go back to where you came from!"
Xie Yan just wanted to make that man lose his face in shame (in his opinion) before he completely disappeared from their sight.
The man's height and build was absolutely not inferior to Xie Yan and they looked at each other for a moment. After that the foreigner shrugged his shoulders, admitted his defeat and removed his hands from Shu Nian: "I'm just fooling around. Don't get offended." Then without wasting any time, he turned around to walk away: "[2] Baobei, I wouldn't have thought about hitting on you if you had told me that you had such a knightly boyfriend."
[T/N: [2] 宝贝 is baby/dear/sweetheart.]
Xie Yan watched as the man walked away from them and couldn't resist spewing a few curses. Then he roughly pulled up the weak-kneed Shu Nian who was sliding down the wall: "What is going on with you?! Being with that kind of person...Hey...Are you okay?"
A strong stench of alcohol was blown against his face. Shu Nian's normally pale face was covered with a tinge of pink and both of his eyes weren't able to focus. He looked just like a drunkard. Xie Yan scrunched his eyebrows in disgust: "What the hell?! You let others buy you drinks even with your level of alcohol tolerance? You are amazing. Binge drinking and seducing men. You have learned everything!"
Although Xie Yan already knew Shu Nian's preference, he had never seen him getting intimate with another man before and the impact was far worse than he had imagined.
"No..." Shu Nian covered his mouth, obviously his stomach was obviously feeling queasy. He was forcibly pulled upwards by Xie Yan. Shu Nian slightly struggled and slurred, "Don't want. I couldn't drink anymore..."
"No one wants you to drink anymore. You haven't fathomed out that fact? You are home now and not having a date with your lover." Xie Yan's face was ominous. He let Shu Nian lean against his body while his hand began to search around Shu Nian's body for the keys. It was awkward and he still couldn't find the keys even though he had touched almost everything. He could hardly touch the cluster of those annoying keys in Shu Nian's small back pocket on his pants. Shu Nian's buttocks became taut due to his half bending posture. It was hard for Xie Yan to stretch his hand to reach the keys and it was also difficult to pull them out.
"It's okay. Just relax." Xie Yan braced himself. His palm that was pressed against Shu Nian's firmed buttock felt a little bit strange. It was hard to avoid any weird thoughts like, "This guy is so skinny, but his buttock is quite plump and curvy." The thoughts were probably because he had just witnessed the scene just now, and somehow it was like he had intentionally dilly-dallied just to grope Shu Nian's buttock.
After Xie Yan finally succeeded opening the door, he supported the dead drunk Shu Nian and dragged him into the house. Then he kicked the door, switched on the lights, and walked straight to the bathroom.
Xie Yan had deliberately not adjusted the water temperature and pushed Shu Nian under the shower, he then turned on the cold water.
Shu Nian shivered in coldness. His half-lidded eyes grew bigger as if he had regained some of his senses. He looked at the odious expression on the man's face that stood in front of him. Shu Nian was hesitant and uncertain: "Xie Yan?"
"Yes!" Only now you recognize me. Xie Yan couldn't help but to feel oppressed.
Shu Nian seemed puzzled: "This...this is my professor's house where the party was held. Why are you here?" He paused for a while, trying to think of something, and then he warily said: "Stop refilling my liquor...I can't hold my liquor...I..."
"Oh come on. You are in your own house right now!"
Shu Nian was quiet for a moment, and then he suddenly said in a slightly tearful tone: "I don't want to go back...Didn't you say that I must get a master's degree before I can go back? I still didn't get it..."
"Well," Xie Yan helplessly patted him on the back, "This is London. We still didn't return to China."
"But...you...didn't you already return?" Shu Nian frowned slightly. His hooded eyes looked puzzled and excluded a very strong erotic ambience. Xie Yan felt like he was choking and suddenly he wanted to curse.
A man shouldn't show this kind of expression to seduce another man!
"I'll stay for two more days. I will return the day after tomorrow." After his brief answer, his hands began to peel off Shu Nian's wrinkled clothes, "Take it off. Let me wash it cleanly! It's so dirty."
His heart softened when he saw Shu Nian clutch firmly onto his shirt and refuse to let go due to the coldness. Hence, he raised the water temperature: "Okay then. Take a bath and go to sleep. Come on."
Shu Nian docilely listened to Xie Yan's order and began to remove his clothes slowly. Xie Yan watched Shu Nian's movements, which had become slow and clumsy due to the alcohol, and felt like he was watching a striptease. Xie Yan's head became hazy.
Finally, Xie Yan couldn't endure it anymore and grinded his teeth. He suddenly felt like smoking when Shu Nian struggled to unfasten his belt and then began to slowly remove his pants and underwear at the same time.
Holy shit! You took off your clothes just to have a bath, but why do you make it look like you're filming an adult movie?!
Shu Nian finished taking off his clothes and the torture Xie Yan received also ended. Xie Yan didn't know why, but he couldn't dare to look at the man who was standing under the shower scrubbing his back clumsily.
Xie Yan's throat felt a little bit dry. It seemed like two months of not hugging Shu Nian properly was equal to the thirsty feeling of not drinking water for two months. He suddenly felt the urge to hold Shu Nian tightly, and then bite and suck his neck ruthlessly.
"Hey, go into the bathtub now." A grown up man standing naked in front of your eyes, it would simply murder your sights. Right? Incorrect. It was just the same gender getting naked. Why was he being so nervous?
Shu Nian obediently went into the hot water. He would do what was ordered like a well-behaved little boy. His face obviously showed that he was very drunk - the kind of sleepwalking expression that clearly explained all his actions.
Besides, Shu Nian had always been very cautious especially in front of Xie Yan. Even when the air-conditioning was broken during the summer, he would definitely pull down his T-Shirt that was rolled up to his chest whenever Xie Yan appeared.
But right now he was walking around in front of Xie Yan without any single strand on his body and yet he still remained calm, it was as if he was having a drunken fit.
"Quickly wash yourself. The water...will become cold." Xie Yan was getting a little bit annoyed with his own discomfort. At first he had followed Shu Nian to the bathroom because he was afraid that Shu Nian was too drunk and wasted to even be able to take care of himself. He had planned to help Shu Nian with washing up, but right now not even touching Shu Nian was difficult, it was even harder to shift his sight.
[3] Sigh...Both of us are men anyway. There's nothing to look at!
[T/N: [3] Lanlin wrote 呼 which is actually an onomatopoeia for exhaling (sound 'hu').]
Xie Yan encouraged himself, and his vision courageously fell on Shu Nian's slender figure. It didn't matter that he didn't take a look since he almost got injured after he took a glance and his blood almost spurted out.
"Hey...you, you..." It had been a very long time since Xie Yan felt so helpless, and he couldn't form any coherent words for a while.
Shu Nian unexpectedly, he was unexpectedly [4] masturbating!
[T/N: [4] Lanlin wrote 'DIY' since DIY is one of 100 ways to say masturbate in Chinese lol.]
He couldn't believe that Shu Nian would do such thing if he hadn't witnessed it. Yes, that's right...Although Shu Nian was already a 30 years-old man, and he'd never had a boyfriend or girlfriend and it would be normal that he need to solve his needs all by himself. Of course it was something very normal, but, but...it was still extremely shocking to witness it!
Shu Nian had never shown any temper and was always a calm person. Therefore Shu Nian and the word "sex" really didn't go well together.
In his eyes, Shu Nian was just Shu Nian. Xie Yan had always loved and treated Shu Nian as a pet dog ever since they were small. He had been reluctant to part with Shu Nian when they had grown up. Sexual needs, age and other aspects were completely ignored. The only characteristic left that related to Shu Nian was effortlessly pure and nothing more.
Anne's Rant:
Most of my loyal old readers already know that I'm gonna be MIA (missing in action) for indefinite period when I started to update frequently and I usually MIA without any notice for up to 4 months because I have classes to attend, meetings to catch, events to manage and a crazy team to handle.
Anyway, you can't even spend time to comment when I'm active so what right do you have to tell me to update when I'm MIA during my semester *flip my hair*
I was asked by someone why I go MIA when I can just translate during weekends. To avoid being asked the same question over and over again, I decided to write it here (and there will be human that will ask me the same Q again).
I'm an engineering student (I have mentioned this for a couple of time!). I never have any free time even when it's weekends. If I'm free (which is rare) I will use it to sleep and regenerate my energy for weekdays. If I update it simply means I have lots of free time and I have finish my reports. paperwork and presentations
Please note that some part might be incorrect as I don't know how to translate it to English. Mistakes are bound to happen and corrections are very welcome.
