Chapter 13

The car had been on the road for half an hour on the way home, and it wasn’t until a harsh sudden brake at a red light that Ji Heyi noticed that the person in the driver’s seat had red eyes, red with anger.

Ji Heyi turned his head to look at him for a while.

The close gaze was hard to ignore, the person who had been silent all the way moved his tightly pursed lips and turned to look at him.

The next second, as if he couldn’t bear something, he clenched the steering wheel, stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car to the side of the road, stopping quickly.

“Chi Yan?” Ji Heyi called him.

Chi Yan’s hand holding the steering wheel didn’t loosen, “……It’s just like I’ve been having a nightmare for so long, one day, somewhere, you two flew away on the same plane.”

Ji Heyi stopped taking nightmares seriously after graduating from elementary school, he reminded him: “Now we are on the way home.”

Chi Yan didn’t make a sound, unbuckled his seat belt, adjusted Ji Heyi’s seat back, and straddled over to the passenger seat.

Ji Heyi stopped him and said, “Illegal parking.”

He didn’t stop him, his wrist was grabbed, and the person who came close knelt on one knee. The car seat was narrow, it was not comfortable for two big men to squeeze, but Chi Yan hugged his shoulder, pressed his forehead against his chin, like a big dog that had found its den full of bones, and he sighed with satisfaction: “……….I need a moment.”

Ji Heyi helped his shoulder and pushed the car seat back a bit.

“He kissed you——all I can think about now is that he kissed you…………every time I think about it, I want to step on the gas pedal regardless, let me take a moment.” He raised his head, their eyes met for a moment, and his nose moved closer.

Ji Heyi didn’t dodge.

So he kissed him from the chin to the lips, and heavily imprinted on his left cheek, “…….here.”

Ji Heyi tilted his head back, not disturbing his “moment”.

The original cause had been explained once, old accounts should not be brought up again, but the other party seemed to still be immersed in his own emotions, he raised his hand to pull the distance between their cheeks a little: “The movie lines five years ago were a bit coincidental, but these years what Chi Cong and I have said and done, we have never avoided you.” He thought his interactions with Chi Cong in front of others were all normal.

Chi Yan blinked slowly: “……..I would rather you avoid me, not hearing, not seeing, so I can concentrate on my beautiful dream.”

The misunderstanding existed from the beginning, every conversation and contact that should have been ordinary, in his eyes, there were a hundred kinds of hidden meanings that made people’s hearts burn.

Chi Yan rubbed his shoulder back and forth with one hand: “Three years ago, before we were together, during those days when Chi Cong and his girlfriend were about to get together, you were not quite right.” He leaned his forehead against his chin again, closed his eyes, “………..When you and Chi Cong were having a disagreement, I never saw you have such a big and long-lasting mood.”

Ji Heyi thought for a moment to match his words. When talking about the character of that actress, he and Chi Cong, who was deeply in love at that time, had several disagreements.

Without waiting for his reply, Chi Yan continued: “I shamelessly pursued you for nearly two years, you didn’t make any move, but the third day after Chi Cong got a girlfriend, you agreed.”

“……”

Ji Heyi hesitated whether to say the perfunctory “It’s also a coincidence”.

As he spoke, his voice became hoarse: “Before Chi Cong was dumped, in the month when he and his girlfriend just had problems, you were always busy and nowhere to be seen.”

“That night at the bar, after what I said, the emotions you gave were not half as much as when you had a conflict with Chi Cong——you nodded, you didn’t react, you immediately cut us off, quickly and thoroughly, you didn’t look back at me, if you just looked back at me, I——”

Ji Heyi watched him silently. Chi Yan had already regretted the words he had said casually, pinched his fingers, and quickly closed his mouth.

The car window was not fully closed, a chill night breeze blew in from the gap at the top, the silence made the car so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, Chi Yan involuntarily tightened his arm around him more and more.

“It’s not that there was no reaction.” Ji Heyi rubbed his tense back, just in time to see the medical report placed in front of the car window, “I lost five kilograms this month.”

Chi Yan subconsciously reached for his waist, “…You haven’t had dinner today.”

“Is there anything else?” Ji Heyi asked.

“What?”

“What you want to say, related to Chi Cong, or anything else I don’t know.”

His leg that hadn’t moved for a long time was stiff, Chi Yan changed to kneeling on the car seat with his right knee, and grabbed Ji Heyi’s leg, “Also…we’re already together, at the beginning, it was harder for me to climb into bed than to climb to the sky, if I touched you, you would rather hang three locks in the bedroom——I imagined every day whether you were keeping yourself pure for Chi Cong, even after getting what you wanted, you were still hesitating, would you turn around and accuse me of rape.”

“…” Ji Heyi was silent for a moment, “…I need some time to adjust.”

“Adjust to what?”

Ji Heyi quietly looked at him, Chi Yan slowly reacted under his gaze.

“…Damn…”

His throat rolled violently twice, “You——right……you’re not……”

Ji Heyi touched his face, which was frozen like a statue, his fingers moved to his nape, when he suddenly bumped his face over in excitement, he caught his chin and gave a gentle kiss.

The intended comforting touch seemed to have lit a fire, Chi Yan hurriedly chased after him and bit his lips, both hands with reckless force reached into his clothes, Ji Heyi pulled his hands away, “We’ve stopped long enough, the traffic police will be here soon.”

Chi Yan kissed all the way to his ear, still asking in a dazed tone: “I…….did I really do this?”

Ji Heyi only knew that if he continued to be sticky for another two minutes, there would be one more ticket in his brilliant record.

He pinched his neck: “Go back to your seat.”

For the rest of the way, Ji Heyi was alert to the traffic situation, he wasn’t sure whether it was himself, who was already sleepy, who shouldn’t be driving, or the driver who was out of the situation for the whole journey was more dangerous.

Not to mention that this driver would turn his head to look at the passenger seat every ten meters.

“Watch the road.” He knocked on the steering wheel again. Ji Heyi really couldn’t help it. He got out of the car at a red light and moved to the back seat, giving him a distraction-free driving environment.

It’s inconvenient to look at people with his eyes, but luckily the driver still has a mouth left. He confirms every time at a red light, “Ah Yi…There’s none of those things, right? No Chi Cong, right?”

“Right.”

“We are on the way home now.”

“Right.”

“Did you throw away that business card?”

“…What business card?”

“Nothing.”

“Do you still have the contact information for Miss Gu from the coffee shop this morning?”

He said again: “——I want to apologize to her.”

“How do you know her surname is Gu?”

“…”

“Chi Yan: “…I asked the shop assistant, she is a regular customer of that coffee shop.”

“Don’t bother unrelated people.”

“…Okay.”

Chi Yan: “We are now…in love with each other, right?”

Ji Heyi didn’t answer, he fell asleep.

He had a deep sleep, when he woke up, he saw the familiar corner of the parking lot lit up by the car lights. The light was not dazzling, the brightness was just right to illuminate the inside of the car. The closed car window made the air slightly stuffy.

“Are you awake?” A question came immediately from the side, Ji Heyi saw that the person who was originally in the driver’s seat had also moved to the back seat, he didn’t know how long he had been waiting next to him, a medical report in his hand had been flipped to the corner.

Chi Yan leaned in, grabbed his hand, kissed the back of his hand, and after a while said: “…I feel like I haven’t woken up yet.”

Ji Heyi pressed down a bit of the car window, letting the two of them wake up together, for a while, he didn’t say anything about getting off the car and going home.

Chi Yan put down the medical report in his hand and said, “You lost five kilograms.” As he spoke, his hand reached towards his waist to confirm his abs.

He leaned his whole body over.

“…It’s all Chi Cong’s fault.”

Ji Heyi curled his lips, thinking it was time for him to start blaming indiscriminately.

“It’s all the fault of that trashy director of the movie.”

“It’s all the fault of the Broadcasting Authority, for not approving the movie earlier.”

After a long silence, he buried his face in Ji Heyi’s neck: “…It’s all my fault.”

Ji Heyi rubbed the back of his head.

“Five kilograms…” He kissed his neck in a sticky and vague manner, “I’ve lost a lot…I’m short of five kilograms of Ji Heyi, who should I ask for compensation?”
