Chapter 101

Ye Baixiao didn’t sleep very well that night.

Especially when Xie Fuyi unconsciously moved closer to the heat source in his sleep and ended up rolling into Ye Baixiao’s arms.

Ye Baixiao stiffened his body, but in the end, he didn’t push the person away.

The next day, when Xie Fuyi woke up, it was almost ten o’clock. There was no one beside him, and the bed was completely cold, but there was some noise coming from the kitchen.

Can the big CEO cook?

Xie Fuyi was somewhat surprised. He ran to the kitchen and saw Ye Baixiao skillfully stirring the pot.

His clothes from last night were no longer wearable. At this moment, he had changed into a new outfit. The black clothes and pants accentuated his tall and slender figure, but they didn’t seem to belong to Xie Fuyi.

“Ye ge? Let me do it, your injury…” Xie Fuyi said as he tried to approach.

When Ye Baixiao heard the soft voice behind him, he paused for a moment, then quickly resumed and said lightly, “The wound is fine, I’ll be done soon, go freshen up for breakfast.”

He hadn’t slept well all night, so he got up early to handle some matters with his subordinates. When he came back and thought about the person still sleeping at home, he bought some groceries and decided to cook.

Xie Fuyi’s remark was just a casual comment; he wasn’t really worried about the recovery ability of this CEO male lead, especially since he knew his own ability to blow up kitchens.

So he obediently agreed and helped set the table after freshening up.

Ye Baixiao cooked home-cooked dishes, but they were rich in color and aroma.

Xie Fuyi’s eyes lit up after the first bite, “Delicious!”

Who would have thought the CEO was such a good cook?

But considering he was a genius in various aspects, being skilled in cooking wasn’t surprising.

Ye Baixiao watched as the other person enjoyed the meal, his beautiful black eyes shimmering like stars, feeling inexplicably content.

After finishing the meal, Xie Fuyi took the initiative to help clean up the kitchen.

However, the kitchen was very small, and the two tall and long-legged men were a bit cramped inside.

Xie Fuyi glanced at the man silently wiping the stove beside him. He felt a bit troubled. This person didn’t know what was going on this morning; he seemed even more distant, as if deliberately avoiding him?

Xie Fuyi thought for a moment, he needed to create some intimate opportunities.

“Oops…” He suddenly exclaimed because his hands were full of bubbles and the bowl slipped out of his grasp with a “clatter,” falling to the ground. Xie Fuyi also slipped and fell backward.

“Be careful!” A strong arm securely wrapped around his waist, and then effortlessly lifted him up, avoiding the broken shards.

Fortunately, Ye Baixiao reacted quickly and caught him.

Xie Fuyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the other person, his eyes flickering with fragments of light, “Thank you, Ye ge…”

Their eyes met, and the person in front of him, with his tousled hair, had beautiful starlight flickering in his black eyes, his slightly curved lips tinged with a faint pink… The sunlight outside the window cast a warm halo on Xie Fuyi’s fair side face, gentle and charming.

The surroundings fell into silence, and the air seemed to solidify with a faint warmth.

However, Ye Baixiao suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Fuyi’s shoulders, pushing him out of the kitchen. His expression remained calm, even his voice carried a hint of coldness, “You go out first, don’t cause trouble.”

Xie Fuyi was thrown out of the kitchen by the other person, looking at the closed door in front of him in silence—didn’t in CEO novels, they would have had a hundred intimate moments in such a situation?

Meanwhile, inside the kitchen, Ye Baixiao’s heart was pounding violently in his ears, his face cold and ugly. In that moment when their eyes met, he actually felt like kissing a man’s lips?

Days passed in the blink of an eye. Xie Fuyi worked at a cake shop during the day and took on a part-time job at a bar at night.

Ye Baixiao was busy contacting his subordinates and preparing for his return to power.

Xie Fuyi felt somewhat puzzled by the current situation. Every time he felt the atmosphere was right, the other party seemed as stiff as a rock.

The most contact between them was Ye Baixiao preparing breakfast and them sharing a bed at night. There was no progress at any other time.

This was the first time Xie Fuyi had spent so long sleeping dryly in bed with another protagonist. Could it be that it wasn’t working out?

Xie Fuyi secretly thought of finding an opportunity to test things out.

…

At night, when Ye Baixiao returned, it was already midnight. He had been busy dealing with the traitors lately, and when he came back, Xie Fuyi was already asleep. Worried about waking him up, he moved quietly.

However, when he sat on the edge of the bed, he found no one there.

Ye Baixiao frowned, suddenly recalling the scene from the first night they met. Could he have been taken advantage of again?

He felt a pang of anxiety and immediately prepared to go out and look for him. But as soon as he opened the door, a figure stumbled and collided with him.

Ye Baixiao reflexively reached out to push the person away, but when he caught a familiar scent, he retracted his hand and steadied the person instead.

“Why are you so late today?” his deep inquiry received no response.

“No… I don’t want to drink anymore…” Xie Fuyi weakly pushed away the other person’s hands, his eyes misty and intoxicated.

Ye Baixiao heard his words and smelled the alcohol on him, his brows furrowing—he was forced to drink?

Xie Fuyi hadn’t mentioned it before, so he hadn’t asked. But now, it seemed he needed to look into it tomorrow. Since he was his subordinate now, he couldn’t allow anyone to bully him.

But for now, he had to deal with the drunkard in his arms.

Xie Fuyi couldn’t stand steadily, so Ye Baixiao could only help him wash up quickly and put him to bed, covering him with the blanket.

However, the drunken Xie Fuyi on the bed was restless. He kicked off the blanket, rolled over, and his sleepwear slid up, revealing a slender waist.

The already fair skin looked even more inviting under the moonlight, especially considering Ye Baixiao had held him before. His strong arms could easily wrap around that flexible waist…

Ye Baixiao’s throat felt dry, his voice hoarse as he spoke, “Cover yourself with the blanket, don’t catch a cold…”

He leaned down to tuck the blanket around him.

“No, don’t…” Xie Fuyi murmured in refusal. The next moment, Ye Baixiao was suddenly pulled down by him.

The sudden movement caught Ye Baixiao off guard. He was pressed against Xie Fuyi through the blanket. He quickly supported himself with his hands on either side of Xie Fuyi’s pillow, looking down at the person beneath him, his black eyes slightly dim.

The moonlight gently illuminated Xie Fuyi’s fair face through the window, casting a tempting veil over it.

In the overlapping shadows, ambiguity flourished, and their hot breaths intertwined. In the silence, Ye Baixiao felt his breathing becoming rapid, and his whole body seemed to heat up.

He reached out uncontrollably, his long fingers tracing over Xie Fuyi’s delicate eyebrows, straight nose, and rosy lips… The touch was soft and warm, and he couldn’t help but gently stroke them until the lips became even redder.

Looking at the enticing color, Ye Baixiao’s throat moved, and he involuntarily leaned closer…

Suddenly, the intense sound of his heartbeat in his ears startled him awake!

Ye Baixiao’s pupils dilated rapidly, and he quickly stood up, his forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat—he had just… wanted to kiss him?

Ye Baixiao took a few deep breaths, his eyes tightly fixed on the person on the bed for a long time before he finally went to the bathroom.

There were soft rustling sounds coming from the bathroom. Xie Fuyi on the bed breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, even through the blanket, he could feel the intensity of Ye Baixiao’s fiery passion. Thankfully, he wasn’t incapable.
