Chapter 159 Childhood Friends (14)
Duan Xu stood silently at the door for who knows how long. He stared at Zhou Mo with extremely cold eyes, which frightened Zhou Mo.
He said dryly: "Brother Duan, you are back."
Chen Ye also looked up and said, "Brother, weren't you having dinner with Aunt Hu's people? Why are you back so soon?"
Duan Xu's aunt came to Tianhe City on a business trip recently, and today she made an appointment with Duan Xu to go out for dinner.
Duan Xu walked in, his tone was even, "I came back after the chat."
Zhou Mo got off the bed and said, "It's getting late. I'll go home first."
"Eat your meal first, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Mo turned around and said, "I haven't finished my homework yet. Bye."
He walked in a hurry as if a ghost was chasing him. Chen didn't understand why. Usually Zhou Mo would stay and eat for free.
After Zhou Mo left, Duan Xu said to Chen Ye, "Get up."
Chen Ye asked, "What for?"
"Change the sheets."
"No need," Chen Ye lay still, "Didn't you just change it two days ago?"
Duan Xu leaned over and grabbed Chen Ye's arm and dragged him off the bed, "It's dirty, you need to change it."
Since Chen didn't have to do anything anyway, he simply sat on the stool and watched Duan Xu change the bed sheets.
Duan Xu was very skilled at changing the bed sheets and he did it quickly. Chen also lay back on the bed.
Chen Ye fell asleep at night, and felt the coldness between his legs while his brain was groggy. He half-closed his eyes and saw Duan Xu's back. Duan Xu was sitting on the bed, holding a wet tissue in his hand, wiping Chen Ye's thighs.
This strange behavior made Chen Ye feel uneasy. Soon he thought of something else. Zhou Mo touched his leg this afternoon. Could it be that Duan Xu did this?
But Chen Ye had already taken a shower tonight, so why did Duan Xu have to wipe it himself?
And did Duan Xu think he was dead? He wiped his legs with an icy wet tissue in the middle of the night without restraining his strength. Even a dead person could feel it, right?
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Duan Xu continued to wipe Chen Ye's legs with a wet tissue. His voice sounded particularly low in the dark night: "Nothing, your legs are dirty, let me wipe them."
Duan Xu's fingertips brushed across the itchy flesh on Chen Ye's thighs. Chen Ye felt a little itchy, so he bent his legs and said, "Are you done, brother?"
"All right."
Duan Xu put away the wet tissue and lay down, "Go to sleep."
Chen Ye couldn't sleep at all. He turned his head and said, "I can't sleep."
"Counting sheep, and soon fell asleep."
Chen Ye: …
Duan Xu woke him up and fell asleep immediately, which made Chen Ye want to beat Duan Xu for the first time.
Chen Ye stretched out his hand and gently poked Duan Xu's face. Duan Xu suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand to hold Chen Ye's wrist. The surging expression in his eyes made Chen Ye stunned, but soon Duan Xu's eyes calmed down again.
"Be good, go to sleep."
Chen didn't dare to poke Duan Xu anymore, for he was afraid that Duan Xu would suddenly bite him.
Duan Xu should have realized that she likes him a little bit. The distance she had shown during this period and her inexplicable behavior today were proof of this.
As he was thinking, Chen Ye closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Duan Xu did not let go of Chen Ye's hand, and gently stroked Chen Ye's wrist with his index finger. He knew that something was wrong, but he still couldn't help falling.
He even thought about exposing his heart to Chen Ye, but he was afraid of scaring Chen Ye.
After that night, the atmosphere between the two of them was weird for a while, but they had grown up together over the years, and somehow the atmosphere became normal again.
The weather was very hot in August, and Chen stayed in his room and didn't want to go out, turning on the air conditioner every day.
In previous summer vacations, Zhou Ying and Li Lijun would not be idle. They would organize extra lessons for students. However, this year the Education Bureau has cracked down on extra lessons. The school did not dare to let teachers do so and held a special meeting to tell them not to give extra lessons privately.
Zhou Ying and Li Lijun couldn't sit still after staying at home for a while, so they booked a tour group to go on a ten-day trip.
Chen Ye thought the weather was too hot and didn't want to go out, so he stayed at home with Duan Xu.
At first, Zhou Ying was worried that the two of them were not safe at home, but Li Lijun said that they were both grown-up children and there would be no problem, so she felt relieved.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Ye was still sleeping with the air-conditioned quilt in his arms. Without Zhou Ying at home, he completely let himself go and wanted to get up and have lunch as soon as he woke up.
But with Duan Xu around, his wish was doomed to fail. After cooking, Duan Xu sat in the room for half an hour. Chen Ye still showed no signs of waking up, so he reached out and pulled away the quilt that Chen Ye was holding in his arms.
Chen Ye didn't even open his eyes. He turned over and faced the wall, with his back to Duan Xu, looking like he didn't want to get up.
The boy was wearing a white vest and black shorts. Without a quilt to cover him, a large area of skin was exposed.
The whiteness of the lower back and thighs dazzled Duan Xu's eyes.
Duan Xu tightened his grip on the quilt, his eyes full of restraint. He had been restraining himself during this period, trying not to show any abnormality in front of Chen Ye. He wanted the two of them to return to the way they were before. He would not deliberately distance himself from Chen Ye, and the two of them would not create any strange sparks. This state was the best for them.
After a few seconds, Duan Xu reached out and pushed Chen Ye awake.
"Get up and eat."
Chen also sat up, his smooth black hair was a little messy. He went to the bathroom and scratched his hair, and asked loudly, "What do you want to eat in the morning? I wanted to eat custard buns last night. Did you buy them?"
There was a vague sound coming from the living room, and Chen didn't hear it clearly. He brushed his teeth and washed his face and went out. He saw cold mung bean porridge, custard buns and eggs on the table.
