Ambiguous addiction

Before Ye Xi met Lu Churan, he never thought that one day he would be clingy like this. He felt restless and couldn’t eat if he didn’t see him for more than twelve hours a day. He was listless as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun for too long in the shade, and he didn't have much motivation to do things.

He is so clingy that he sometimes disgusts himself, but Lu Churan doesn't seem to mind being clingy to him at all, and even condones him a bit.

In late January, he had just been promoted to the position of deputy general manager, and he went on a business trip abroad with his general manager. During the day, he would talk, laugh and socialize with others, but at night, after the noise subsided, he felt sudden despair.

He stayed alone in the dark hotel room, feeling lonely and empty in his life, as if something kept holding him back from struggling, exhaustion and pain forced him to constantly deny and doubt himself, and then the phone suddenly rang and interrupted his think.

Lu Churan asked him, 【What did you eat tonight? 】

Ye Xi sent him the picture of the dinner, and Lu Churan immediately sent the video invitation. After he clicked to accept, he saw Lu Churan's face appear on the screen, and his eye sockets immediately became hot, extremely turbulent. Emotions spread in his chest, Lu Churan looked at the screen for a while, and then said, "Ye Xi, turn on the light."

Ye Xi rustled his head for a while, got up from the bed and turned on the light, Lu Churan saw clearly the tiredness and faint fragility in his eyes, and asked him, "Did you miss me?"

Before Ye Xi could answer, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. He lowered his head and wiped the tears with the back of his hand, sobbing softly, "Dad..."

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Lu Churan was startled by his reaction on the other end of the phone, but it was a pity that he couldn't reach out from the screen to touch his head.

"I don't want to be alone." Ye Xi rubbed his face against the screen, like that, he could remember what it was like to hug Lu Churan, "I miss you."

Lu Churan coaxed him for a while, and then kissed the camera a few times. In the past, Lu Churan would not have believed that he could do such a thing even if he was beaten to death, but when facing Ye Xi, many things were actually involuntary. That's how it should be.

After Ye Xi cried out to vent, and finished talking to Lu Churan about his miss, a smile gradually appeared on his face again, and he told Lu Churan that the interpreter had urgent matters and asked for leave today, so he and his foreigner partner had nothing to do during the whole process. Obstacles to English communication added nonsense, and he also acted as a translator for the general manager by the way. The general manager said that the translator's salary would be given to him as a bonus.

Lu Churan couldn't help laughing at his small appearance begging for praise, "You are so amazing, our Vice President Ye."

"Of course, I don't even look at whose family I am." Ye Xi was praised so much that his tail almost went up to the sky.

"My mobile phone is almost out of battery. I don't have class today. I'm going back to the store now. Can you sleep alone?"

Ye Xi lowered his gaze, and muttered in a low voice, somewhat disappointed, "I can't."

It's not like Lu Churan couldn't guess his answer, "Then wait for me for half an hour, and I'll go back and recharge the battery before putting you to sleep."

"Yeah." Ye Xi looked at the time, "Half an hour, then I'll take a shower, dry my hair and tidy up."

"Then give me a kiss first and hang up."

"Chirp." Ye Xi also kissed the camera, and then hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Lu Churan dialed the video call again on time, but the background looked like he was still in the car and hadn't returned to "tobecontinued".

Ye Xi hugged the phone under the covers, "Didn't you go back to the shop?"

"Go out to do some errands and come back. Have you covered the quilt yet?" Lu Churan waited for him to lie down and began to tell him a bedtime story. In fact, it was not a bedtime story, but some very trivial childhood whimsy.

For example, he used to think that the prince could not recognize Cinderella because he was actually face-blind. Later, Lu Yage corrected him and said that it was because fairies put makeup on Cinderella, and he realized that it was the beginning of the evolution history of cosmetic makeup technology.

And Lu Yage once went on an autumn outing when she was a child, and her mother gave her 20 yuan. She wanted to buy a souvenir, so she chose to buy a chicken before the chicken and the little hamster, and held the fluffy little thing in her hand all the way. Chirping back to school, she was blocked by her mother at the school gate and was not allowed to take her home to raise.She cried and was in a bad mood for a few days, so Lu Churan found a tape of animal sounds, and played cock crows in her ears before six o'clock every day for a week, telling her that chickens were raised To become a big cock is such an experience every day, and she is so annoyed that she has a nervous breakdown and swears that she never wants to raise chickens again.

Ye Xi laughed so much that he relaxed and started to feel sleepy. Later, Lu Churan waited for him to fall asleep before hanging up the phone, and he boarded the plane within a few hours.

Ye Xi didn't know that Lu Churan would sneak over without telling him, and was completely unprepared. When he returned to the hotel with the general manager the next night, he saw Lu Churan standing at the door of his room from a long distance in the corridor, I thought that I was hallucinating too much, but when I got closer, I found that it was Lu Churan who was looking at him and smiling, so excited that he threw himself into Lu Churan's arms in front of the manager.

"Why did you come? Did you go to the airport instead of going to the store yesterday?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep alone and cry." Lu Churan pinched his nose.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, he licked his lips calmly, his heart was pounding, and he pushed him into the room, "That's not true, everyone must think that Vice Ye, who is traveling with his family on business, is always a strict wife."

Lu Churan smiled, "Actually, he is a baby bear who wants others to touch his stomach while sleeping."

Ye Xi eagerly peeled off Lu Churan's clothes. He didn't want to be possessed, but just wanted a hug without barriers. He received many delicate kisses on his face, and his breath was full of kisses. Lu Churan was familiar with the warm smell, and was so comfortable that she couldn't stand on her own.

"Do you think it's annoying that I'm so clingy to you?" Ye Xi reciprocated by kissing Lu Churan's collarbone and shoulders a lot.

"I'll be annoyed if you don't stick to me someday. If that's the case, you definitely don't need me anymore."

"Lu Churan."

"Ok?"

Ye Xi felt Lu Churan's touch on his back, looked into his eyes and said, "I want to advance all my birthday wishes for the next 70 years."

"Okay, what do you want?"

"I want you to be healthy and live a long life, so that I can stick to you for the rest of my life." Ye Xi pressed his hand on the place where his heart was beating faster, "I will use the heart you gave me. I will return you with love that will never run out in my life."

Lu Churan smiled and hugged him tightly.

A few days after Ye Xi returned from a business trip, it was New Year's Eve. The first time he went home with Lu Churan, he went directly to his family's reunion dinner. Did you buy the wrong gift for Lu Churan's parents?

Lu Churan comforted him very calmly, "Don't worry, they will think you are very discerning in whatever you wear and give away, because you have taken a fancy to their son."

"..." Ye Xi looked at the mirror and straightened his clothes and choked for five seconds, "Why do I feel that you are praising me on the surface but you are actually smearing yourself?"

Lu Churan took off his suit with a smile, "Don't dress too formally, it's not a grand occasion to have a meal at home, a plaid shirt and a woolen cardigan are fine."

"Wouldn't a plaid shirt look a lot like a tablecloth?"

"It's very refined and bookish, and no one asks you to wear red and white checks."

"You should be more festive during the Chinese New Year." Ye Xi said, "You really don't look like a programmer?"

"It won't be hard to see if you really wear a tablecloth." Lu Churan pushed the hair on his forehead up, "I'll make my bangs up tomorrow, so I'll be more handsome."

"Show your forehead, so should I trim my eyebrows?"

Lu Churan was so nervous that he couldn't help but cry and laugh, "Can I ask Lu Yage to put on makeup for you?"

Ye Xi's face became hot all of a sudden, "Don't laugh at me anymore."

"Okay, don't laugh." Lu Churan restrained the expression on his face, "It looks good this way, don't change it anymore, otherwise I don't know how to get along with you."

With his affirmation, Ye Xi hung up his clothes neatly outside the closet, sat on the edge of the bed and gnawed his fingers anxiously, "What do you say I'm so excited that I can't sleep tonight and have dark circles under my eyes tomorrow?"

Lu Churan dragged him to the bed and started to do some indescribable things, whispering in his ear, "I'll let you sleep tonight when you're so tired, don't worry."

"It's rare for you to be so active just to make me sleep. Why do I feel that our motives for committing crimes are getting weirder and weirder? Uh... light, light..."

Afterwards, Ye Xi was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, so he was held in Lu Churan's arms and slept until noon the next day. After drinking black coffee to relieve some swelling, he went out with Lu Churan.

Lu Churan's parents are very gentle, temperamental, and very loving. When the two of them arrived, their parents were preparing for the reunion dinner tonight in the kitchen. They heard Lu Yage open the door and talk to them outside The voice came out immediately.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. This is Ye Xi." Ye Xi handed over the greeting gift, his hand trembling quietly.

Lu Churan's mother immediately took the things over, "Thank you, you are too polite, just sit down, do you want something to drink?"

"Hot tea is fine, thank you auntie." Ye Xi sat down tremblingly, didn't know how to put his hand, so he stretched it out and stuffed it into Lu Churan's hand, his palms were covered with cold sweat.

Lu Yage poured hot tea for Ye Xi, and Ye Xi handed her the latest Armani lip gloss, "It's for you, and I want to buy you a bag, but I don't know how to choose, and I'm afraid I might buy fake ones online. Good thing, when my assistant goes to Hong Kong in a few days, I will ask her to go to the counter to take pictures and come back and pick one.”

Lu Yage looked at the color number, and it turned out to be the one she had wanted to buy for a long time but was out of stock. She was so moved that she was about to cry, "Brother Ye Xi, you are so kind to me. I recently fell out of love. The one I talked about earlier The lead singer of the band broke up with me, and I was still recovering from my emotional wounds, but now I am healed after receiving your gift."

"What's wrong?" Someone took the initiative to find a topic to chat with him, and Ye Xi's mood immediately became less tense.

"It's just that I have been busy applying for graduate school since the last performance, and I have to take the language test, and the end of the period is approaching. The pressure is very high, and my temper is a bit grumpy. And my ex-boyfriend is the kind of person who is not very motivated. Yes I don’t have any plans for the future, and when I’m stressed and in a bad mood, I don’t coax me much, I just play games by myself, and then we broke up after a few quarrels.”

Lu Churan took a sip of tea, "I just told you that the boys in your school are not very good, and there is no future if we talk about it."

"If you feel right, you have to give it a try. If you don't try it, how will you know if there is a future? If everyone is like you, how much time will be wasted to be together? If you can't meet Brother Ye Xi He's still an older full-time bachelor." Lu Yage stuck out his tongue and made a face for him.

Lu Churan was not angry at all, and replied with three words, "Jealous of me."

Ye Xi was amused by his mysterious and arrogant tone, glanced at him, turned back and smiled and said to Lu Yage, "It's okay, you are still young, these are just life experiences, at least you now know that you are not I like a person who is not motivated and has no ideas for the future."

Lu Churan's mother saw that it was still a long time before dinner, and she was afraid that Ye Xi would be hungry, so she specially baked soufflés during afternoon tea time, "Eat it while it's hot, it will collapse when it's cold, and it won't taste good."

Ye Xi nodded and took it to eat. On the tip of his tongue was the delicate aroma of melting milk and hot eggs. It was so delicious that he couldn't speak.

His mother was smiling and watching Ye Xi eat, and was satisfied with how he looked at him. Ye Xi was so stared at by her that his back was stiff, and he looked at Lu Churan for help. Lu Churan reached out to cover his face and looked at him. The mother said, "Mom, don't look at it, he is not used to having beautiful women staring at him while eating."

The mother stood up with a cheerful smile, "Hahaha, I'm sorry, I couldn't help being a little happy when I saw my son's boyfriend for the first time."

Ye Xi's face turned red with embarrassment, and he covered his mouth and coughed. Lu Churan came over with a cup and asked him to drink tea with his hand.

Lu Yage followed her mother to the kitchen, and whispered in her ear, "Is my sister-in-law super handsome, prettier than the Korean drama hero you recently chased after?"

Mother nodded approvingly, "It's really handsome, and it's better than the one surnamed Tao that your brother liked in high school. Your brother's vision has improved after all these years of being single."

Lu Yage looked at her mother in surprise, "Have you met Tao Jiayue? Why didn't I know?"

"Didn't he come to save our elder brother at that time? When I waited downstairs all night, I went down and told him not to wait at home. I only saw him once." Mother frowned, "Although I don't really remember What does he look like, but I think Ye Xi is better looking. But he looks so smart, will he bully our brother?"

"Mrs. Lu, don't you know who your son is? It's good that my brother doesn't bully others. If he spoils others, he can't take care of himself."

"What are you talking about?" The father saw that their mother and daughter were chatting happily, so he couldn't help leaning over to listen.

Lu Yage looked up at him, "Dad, why are you hiding in the kitchen, go out and meet your daughter-in-law."

"I'm also a little nervous. It's the first time your brother brings someone home, so I don't know what to say to them," the father said.

"You can say whatever you want. Brother Ye Xi is very good at chatting, so I promise you won't stand in the cold." Lu Yage pushed his father out of the kitchen, "Brother Ye Xi, my father wants to chat with you."

When it comes to chatting, Ye Xi is naturally able to deal with it freely. From tasting famous wines from various places of origin to handling personnel affairs in the workplace, from Lu Churan's embarrassing things when he was a child to his provocative deeds when he was studying, what topic does Ye Xi talk about? They can handle it and talk about it.

Later, after dinner, Lu Churan's mother found out the photos of them dressing Lu Churan as a girl before Lu Yage was born and showed it to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi's liver shuddered at Lu Churan's cuteness when he was a child, and secretly said to him, "It's over, I'm going to straighten up after watching your women's clothing, from winding mountain roads to sea-crossing bridges."

Lu Churan smiled without saying a word, and asked him to bend back when he got home.

As for Ye Xi's family, Ye Xi and his father haven't talked face to face since the quarrel on the phone that time. Maybe he himself realized that Ye Xi is already an adult with strong opinions and strong opinions. At this time, it was too late to try to make up for the flood of fatherly love, and Ye Xi would not care.

So the so-called conversation between their father and son all depended on Ye Cheng running errands in the middle to spread the word. The strange thing is that their relationship seemed to be gradually eased by this hot-headed boy.

Although the child Ye Cheng is simple and straightforward, he is also a bit smart in dealing with the world. Later, after studying abroad, every time he checked Weibo and saw hot news about cold snaps, high temperatures or extreme weather in China, he would call home to greet his elder brother. Dad, and then use Ye Xi's name to say a few words of concern, which will be especially useful to his father.

Then, every year when he returned to China for vacation, he would buy many expensive and flashy gifts for Ye Xi, and then said that his father told him to bring some gifts for his brother when he returned to China, and Ye Xi would reluctantly accept them and would not dislike him. .

When it came time for Ye Cheng to graduate, it was rare for the two of them to be present at the same time at the graduation ceremony, and reluctantly took a group photo for Ye Cheng's sake.

At that time, Professor Ye didn't react much when he saw Lu Churan and Ye Xi together, and accepted their relationship by default, but it was four years later.
