Chapter 42
Chi Yuan, I miss your back.
Jiang Haochen drank alcohol and fell asleep after getting into the car.
Chi Yuan was afraid that he would catch a cold from the wind, so he didn't dare to open the car window the whole way. The smell of smoke and alcohol mixed together, but Chi Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable at all, just like the kiss just now.
The smell of smoke stung my lungs, but it was Jiang Haochen's smell.
It normally only takes twenty minutes to get from the club to Jiang Haochen's apartment, but Chi Yuan drove for twice as long, circling around the most bustling area of B City again and again, as if Jiang Haochen were on a date with him.
Only when Jiang Haochen turned over in discomfort did Chi Yuan dare not delay and drive the car into the apartment.
Jiang Haochen woke up at that moment and checked the time, realizing that fifty minutes had passed: "Have I been sleeping for that long? Didn't I tell you to wake me up when we arrived?"
"I..." Chi Yuan felt guilty and dared not speak.
Jiang Haochen, seeing this, thought he had scared the kitten and chuckled as he hooked his arm around the boy's neck: "I know you want me to sleep a little longer, but I'd much rather sleep in the room with this handsome boy than in the car. Or perhaps..."
Jiang Haochen grinned mischievously: "You prefer being in the car?"
Chi Yuan's face flushed red: "No, I didn't..."
Jiang Haochen: "So you don't like it. I was really looking forward to it."
Looking forward to it?
Chi Yuan immediately changed his tune: "No...no...it's not possible."
Jiang Haochen pretended not to hear: "What did you say?"
Chi Yuan knew the other person couldn't possibly have missed it, and embarrassed, he remained silent.
Jiang Haochen liked his shy and angry look, like a kitten stretching out its claws, huffing and puffing, but not daring to scratch anyone.
"Next time, I'll get a bigger car and then pick a more suitable place." Jiang Haochen imagined for a moment, "Do you prefer a mountaintop or the seaside? Do you prefer to do it when it's dark and windy, or when it's sunrise?"
Chi Yuan couldn't listen anymore, so he pushed open the car door and fled in a disheveled state.
Jiang Haochen was so happy that he sat in the passenger seat for a long time and couldn't get up. Only after he had laughed enough did he get out of the car.
This person is so funny.
However, even a kitten can bite if provoked, so Jiang Haochen knew when to stop, got out of the car, and went back to the apartment with the boy.
Jiang Haochen took off his coat, loosened his tie, and slumped onto the sofa to sober up. Chi Yuan boiled water, found some honey, and made a cup of honey water, which he then brought over.
"Drink some honey water, it'll help you sober up," Chi Yuan said.
"Thank you." Jiang Haochen took a sip of honey water, then stared blankly at the cup, remaining silent for a long time.
Chi Yuan stood there, feeling somewhat lost in the silence.
Should he stay here? But Mr. Jiang did not allow him to stay.
He asked to stay on his own initiative? But he just left here the day before yesterday. If he asks to stay again today, won't Mr. Jiang think he's pushing his luck?
This was Chi Yuan's first time being someone's lover, and he really didn't know how to handle the situation. He couldn't help but think about how Li Rui and Wang Ming interacted during the day, wondering if he should learn from Li Rui...
No, Mr. Jiang is not Wang Ming. How can I compare Mr. Jiang to Wang Ming? I deserve to die.
Chi Yuan felt that his thoughts had tarnished Mr. Jiang's reputation, and he was too ashamed to stay any longer: "Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Haochen snapped out of his daze and noticed that Chi Yuan seemed somewhat dazed. He subconsciously asked, "You're still here?"
I should have left.
Chi Yuan was extremely embarrassed: "I...I'll leave right now."
Chi Yuan was afraid that staying even a second longer would make Mr. Jiang dislike him, so he turned around and walked towards the door. By the time Jiang Haochen reacted, Chi Yuan had already left the room.
Jiang Haochen opened his mouth, but ultimately did not call the person back.
Jiang Haochen glanced down at the honey water in his hand, took a sip, and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I can't believe... I still think of him."
Jiang Haochen poured the remaining honey water into the sink and then went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out and checked the time on his phone, he found a message from Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan: {Mr. Jiang, I just set the rice cooker to cook some porridge. It should be ready when you wake up tomorrow morning. Have a bowl; it'll warm your stomach.}
Porridge?
Jiang Haochen walked into the kitchen and saw that the rice cooker was lit up. Judging from the timer, the porridge should be ready by eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
He must have only been in there for a few minutes. When did he do all this?
Jiang Haochen rubbed his temples, and suddenly felt a little guilty thinking about how the boy looked injured when he left.
He didn't mean what he said just now, but when he realized it, he didn't try to explain. Chi Yuan was just his mistress, not his boyfriend, and he had no obligation to take care of her feelings all the time.
Jiang Haochen tried to convince himself not to care too much about Chi Yuan's feelings, but as soon as he thought that the boy might be sad for a long time, Jiang Haochen couldn't help but reply to the message.
Jiang Haochen: {You even made porridge, thank you.}
The other party replied almost instantly.
Chi Yuan: {You're welcome.}
Chi Yuan: {Um… Mr. Jiang, this is my first time being someone's mistress, so I'm not quite sure how to do it. If I do anything wrong, please tell me directly, or have Assistant Chen tell me, and I will definitely correct it. Could you… please not dislike me? I promise I won't do it again.}
What won't happen in the future? Actually, Chi Yuan himself didn't know; he just didn't want Mr. Jiang to dislike him.
Jiang Haochen already felt guilty, and seeing this apology made him feel even less than human.
Jiang Haochen hesitated for a moment, then made a voice call. The call was quickly answered, and the young man's voice, tinged with trepidation, came through: "Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Haochen stood on the balcony, looking at the neon lights in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Chi Yuan, this is also the first time I've ever kept a mistress."
Chi Yuan: "Ah, I...I know."
Jiang Haochen: "So I'm not quite sure what to do either."
Chi Yuan: "You... have done very well."
Jiang Haochen was surprised to be praised: "Really? Thank you for your kind words."
How am I supposed to respond to that? Should I say, "You're welcome"?
Jiang Haochen: "Chi Yuan, you did very well too. Just now... I was in a bad mood, I'm sorry."
Mr. Jiang actually apologized to me.
Chi Yuan: "It's...it's okay, you don't need to apologize."
Jiang Haochen didn't want to continue this unpleasant topic, so he changed it to something lighter: "By the way, where did you want me to touch you before?"
Chi Yuan: "Waist."
Just by listening to his voice, Jiang Haochen knew that Chi Yuan must have blushed again.
Jiang Haochen: "Your waist, did I touch it?"
Chi Yuan hummed in agreement.
Jiang Haochen: "Did I touch you? When?"
Chi Yuan: "It was... in the parking lot."
Jiang Haochen remembered that he was covered in alcohol at the time, but when he saw Chi Yuan walking towards him, he was clean and tidy, which was out of place with the environment. Suddenly, he had a wicked idea and wanted to dirty this clean person.
He cruelly pinned the boy against the car, poured the cigarette smoke from his mouth into the boy's mouth, and savored the minty aroma between the boy's lips and teeth until the boy coughed from the smoke, only then did he release him.
Did he touch the boy's waist at that time? He probably did. He really liked the boy's waist; it was firm, supple, and had a beautiful curve.
Jiang Haochen suddenly felt his mouth go dry: "Where are you now?"
Chi Yuan: "I just got home."
Jiang Haochen: "What a pity."
Chi Yuan let out a puzzled "Ah".
Jiang Haochen chuckled softly, "I miss your back."
