Chapter 46 - Seven Year's Itch!
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Qi looked at the time which had already passed 12 midnight. Before Ke Yan had never came back this late but recently he had been going home late for a week. But it has never been as late as today. Why haven't he come back yet.
Jiang Qi worried something might have happened to Ke Yan. When he was about to call him, the door opened and Ke Yan came into the house.
Jiang Qi walked over to Ke Yan and asked: “ How come you came back so late? Is there any problem?”
Ke Yan frowned and walk passed Jiang Qi to their bedroom. "What could possibly happened?"
Jiang Qi felt today's Ke Yan looked weird. Ke Yan unexpectedly answered him in impatient tone. Taking a deep breath, he entered their bedroom and saw Ke Yan already taking off his suit, picked up new clothes and ready to bath.
Jiang Qi picked up the clothes Ke Yan threw on the floor and inadvertently smell perfume. Jiang Qi’s heart burst a touch of uneasiness and picked it up and smelled it under his nose. It was really a smell of perfume. Ke Yan never use perfume, he also didn't use any perfume. So, where does this sweet and cloying scent of perfume came from?
Jiang Qi couldn't figure it out and he was quite upset. He asked Ke Yan harshly: "How did I caught a scent of perfume on your body, and the smell is still so fragrant..." If it is not very close, how can the smell so heavy?
Right now, not only Jiang Qi's heart in a mess, even his head started to be confused. He seems to be bound by layers of black line shielding him from the truth, distorting his judgement and leading his thoughts in an unreasonable direction.
No, no...it's not right. He should believe in Ke Yan. ke Yan would never done anything that can let him down...
Pushing down flames of fury in his heart, Jiang Qi tried harder to persuade himself, but he didn't expect Ke Yan next words fixed him at the same place for a very long time….
“It's just a little bit of socializing, what are you quarreling about. So annoying.”
So annoying? So annoying? So annoying? So annoying? In Jiang Qi's head these two words keep repeating itself. Ke Yan actually said he …….so annoying?
How could it be like this? Jiang Qi felt wronged because Ke Yan has never treated him with impatient. Why he suddenly became heartless and told him he's so annoying. But what makes Jiang Qi more baffled is how Ke Yan's attitude had undergo tremendous change recently.
His heart in pain and he felt a little breathless. His nose was a bit sour and his eyes were hot. Jiang Qi took a few breaths and breathed hard. Wasn't it Ke Yan already tired of him?
Impossible… They have been together for so many years, but...but Ke Yan has changed recently… don't tell me he already has someone else outside...a man? Or maybe another woman?
The sweet perfume floated around Jiang Qi's mind. The scent was from women's perfume.
Jiang Qi who was upset and depressed, picked up his pillow and went out from bedroom. He couldn’t sleep with Ke Yan tonight.
When Ke Yan came out of the bathroom, he did not see Jiang Qi but saw Jiang Qi’s pillow disappeared. He shrugged his shoulders and was too lazy to take care of him. Ke Yan climbed onto the bed and fell asleep, without any care on Jiang Qi.
Although Jiang Qi's heart was saddened by Ke Yan’s attitude towards him, he still faintly expected that Ke Yan would come over to find himself. He waited and waited until the day is bright but Ke Yan never came. Jiang Qi who can't sleep, feels sad. The pain in his heart seems to go all the way up, making Jiang Qi's throat painful. He can't sleep more and more. Jiang Qi uncomfortably lying in bed, chooses to finally get out of bed.
What did Jiang Qi trying to do this time? He walked in to their bedroom and picked up Ke Yan's suit jacket from floor. Searching for a proof to confirm whether Ke Yan had other people he likes now. Jiang Qi was hesitant when he touched Ke Yan's phone. He still refused to believe Ke Yan would like others. Perhaps people who've been thrown to a dark place would become more vulnerable and Jiang Qi couldn't resist from taking the suit nearer.
Originally he didn't want to cry but he cannot held back and whimpered. Jiang Qi weeps quitely. They said crying can make things better so he tried to hypnotized himself that everything would be better in a while. But he still couldn't stop crying and he refrain himself from giving out noise. He cried until half of Ke Yan's suit was wetted. Sucking up his nose, Jiang Qi rubbed his swollen red eyes and went out slowly to the living room. He sat on the sofa with lights off and wrapped himself in the dark. He has been living together with Ke Yan in this house for four years.
Jiang Qi abruptly woke up from his dream with heavy gasp. Taking his breath back, he looked around and saw Ke Yan by his side and realized it was still nighttime. He switched on the bedside lamp and watch Ke Yan's sleeping face. Jiang Qi realized he was just dreaming. Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was dreaming. Jiang Qi who had relaxed, found himself full of sweat.
Lying down, Jiang Qi gently snuggled into Ke Yan's arms. He seemed to be with Ke Yan for many years. It seems that it will soon be seven years. Jiang Qi seriously calculated that he and Ke Yan got together when they were just 20 years old. Now they are 27...wait a minute, this year is not just catching up with the seven-years itch?
Jiang Qi who just relaxed once again tighten his nerves after recalling his dream. He remembered Ke Yan's attitude in his dreams when he confronted him after discovered the woman's scent on his body.
Jiang Qi sat up once again on the bed, stretched out his hands and pat on Ke Yan's face.
Under Jiang Qi’s unrelenting play, Ke Yan woke up at once. After woken up, he saw Jiang Qi hitting himself and still made him awfully painful. Ke Yan felt inexplicable, but when he saw Jiang Qi’s face full of grievances plus those reddish eyes, he forgotten all about his inexplicable action to him. He hurries to hug Jiang Qi, "What happened?"
Jiang Qi did not answer Ke Yan, but bit into Ke Yan’s shoulder. Ke Yan let Jiang Qi bite him until he loosen his mouth voluntarily.
Ke Yan looked at Jiang Qi with worry. How could they fell asleep and Jiang Qi changed to become like this? He caress Jiang Qi's back in distressed.
Jiang Qi bite Ke Yan for a while and then reluctantly, loosen his mouth. He kneeled in Ke Yan’s arms and grievously said: "I dreamed that you would go home late for a week, and that when you came back, you have a woman's perfume smell. When I asked you, you said it was just socializing, and also said that I am really annoying. Then you ignored me when I went out to sleep in the living room. You did not come for me and let me slept alone. Then I hold your suit and cry. I cried alone on the sofa in the living room,you still don't want me.”
Jiang Qi's story seems a little bit gibberish, but Ke Yan still can understand that he was having a dream. He pulled Jiang Qi out from his arms and kissed his lips soothingly: "I will not do this, believe me."
"I also believe you in my dreams, trying to keep myself from doubting you, but..."
“There's no but. This thing would never happen. Ke Yan would only like Jiang Qi one person. Would never like others. I would never lie to you. I love you, Jiang Qi.”
When Jiang Qi heard Ke Yan’s words, he took the initiative to get closer to him and kissed his lips. He also whispered to Ke Yan with I love you too.
Their lips locked together, slowly moving against each other. Jiang Qi's lips slid down from Ke Yan's mouth towards his neck, and his hands followed downward into Ke Yan's pants. Ke Yan knew Jiang Qi current behavior related to his no sense of security after the dream, but he did not stop him. In addition, to stop this kind of good fortune wouldn't it make him an idiot? Thus, Ke Yan willingly cooperate.
Ke Yan fiery private parts quickly stand upright under Jiang Qi's hands. Jiang Qi reached out and unbuttoned his pajamas. He was half impatient, so he took off his upper body directly after the buttons were halfway done. Then he began to take off Ke Yan’s pajamas. However, this time his patience was even worse, and the pajamas were directly pulled apart. Ke Yan turned him around and pressed Jiang Qi under his body.
Their body clings to each other, mixing their sweat together. Ke Yan repeatedly gentle assaults, made Jiang Qi both comfortable and somewhat unbearable.
The legs hooked on to Ke Yan's waist and wrapped tightly around it. “N, Ke Yan, ah~ Nn...ah, hurry up much faster."
What is the consequences of urging Ke Yan to move faster? A busy Jiang Qi who was banned from sleeping the whole night to the early morning plus a body which about to fall apart.
