After some bumping around, this somewhat heroic trip to the hospital finally ended.
When Yu Rui came out of the IV room, his face and spirit were much better than before he went in, and this was the only thing that eased Xie Li’s expression.
Gan Qingyan drove on the way back
As the car circled in the hospital parking lot, Gan Qingyan took the time to look in the rearview mirror, “Li-ge, it’s getting late. Why don’t we go have dinner together?”
This time, Lin Yihuan, who had consciously climbed into the passenger seat, froze, then nodded as if something was coming to his mind, “That makes sense. Li-ge, since your friend is ill, why don’t we go take a medicinal meal to make up for it?” He even pulled Cai Yan after saying, “Don’t you think so, Yan-zhi?”
Cai Yan was more honest and said sincerely after a few seconds of silence, “This kind of high fever usually affects the function of the spleen and stomach, so taking tonics now will be bad for him, a light and mild diet is better.”
Lin Yihuan, “….”
How could Xie Li not see their desire to inquire about Yu Rui during dinner?
When he looked back, he saw Yu Rui sitting down, taking off his jacket, and handing it to him, “Put it on.”
Yu Rui was surprised, “No, I’m not cold.”
“You just came out of a fever, take care of yourself.” Xie Li didn’t give Yu Rui a chance to refuse, so he took his hands and lifted the two lapels of the jacket and put them on Yu Rui’s shoulders, adjusting it around him.
Once this was done, he turned around and met Lin Yihuan’s desperately suggestive gaze toward Cai Yan.
Xie Li frowned, “Don’t sway. He’s not feeling well today. How will he have the strength to go out for a walk with you? Take him home.”
There was no room for complaints in Xie Li’s words, the three exchanged glances and could only give up.
Xie Li gave the address of the place, and Gan Qingyan drove there with the GPS.
The SUV they drove today was a Mercedes Benz G-class, with a strong sense of power in its appearance and sharp, rugged body lines. At night it looked like a sleeping beast from afar.
When such a car entered the old neighborhood where Yu Rui’s house was, the sense of disparity was evident.
There were older men and women gathered around the building, who noticed an SUV entering from the corner, stopped their conversation, and pointed in the direction of the car.
In this old neighborhood, apart from the road, there were no parking lots, and some cars were scattered. It was so congested that there was little space to move the ‘behemoth’ driven by Gan Qingyan. It was very tiring.
The car’s speed was so slow that it almost looked like a turtle.
Since they approached this part of the city, Gan Qingyan and Lin Yihuan, who were together in the front seats, exchanged glances, and when they entered the neighborhood, Lin Yihuan couldn’t help but secretly frown a couple of times.
When they talked about Yu Rui’s possible identity, it wasn’t that they hadn’t guessed that Yu Rui’s family was average, but they had never thought that it would be “average” to such an extent.
The narrowness of the housing, the overwhelmingly higher proportion of older people in the neighborhood as an average percentage of the residents’ age, the condition of the properties…
Taking it all together, it was clear in their minds what Yu Rui’s family situation was like.
This also made Lin Yihuan’s brow furrow more and more: this was the kind of situation that worried him the most after seeing Xie Li’s attitude towards Yu Rui before.
What if this white-faced guy was just trying to use his Brother Li to…?
Despite the growing worries in their hearts, they were all descendants of great families with several generations. Even if they have difficulty adapting and rejecting their surroundings, they definitely won’t show it in their words or actions.
When Gan Qingyan finally parked the car with difficulty under Yu Rui’s house, Xie Li took the initiative to open the car door and get out, “I’ll take him upstairs first.”
“We want to…”
“You guys wait for me in the car.” Xie Li said, stepping out into the night downstairs, and lightly dragging Yu Rui inside.
It was clear from his actions that he had been here too often.
Lin Yihuan was leaning against the lowered windows, watching with a sigh, “It’s over, Li-ge is completely fascinated by that little demon.”
Gan Qingyan was angry and amused, “How can you say that? If Li-ge hears you, he will slap you.”
“Did I say something wrong?” Lin Yihuan sat upright and pointed out the window, “Look outside, what kind of atmosphere is this? It all looks like a slum… I’ve never seen a place like this except on TV.”
“That’s because the young master is ignorant.”
“Come on, you’ve seen it before, huh? And when I saw that boy’s simple attitude toward Li-ge, I thought it was just a simple crush on Li-ge, but now I see what’s going on: if he comes out of such an environment, he must be a precocious child, right? Good looks are the key, so why do people fall in love with boys? It’s just for the money, isn’t it?”
Gan Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Cai Yan moved from the back row to the middle row and took control of the conversation with a calm and collected tone, “Why are you worrying like an old mother today?”
“P’w pera jogjlv atja Ol-uf klii yf mtfjafv bea bo tlr wbcfs jcv tfjga.” Olc Tltejc ugecafv.

It was strange that Cai Yan felt so embarrassed by Lin Yihuan that he couldn’t speak.
Gan Qingyan laughed beside him, “Good for you, Lin Xiaofat’er, you are extraordinarily insightful today.”
Lin Yihuan became worried and asked, “Yes, you also think Li-ge is too attentive, don’t you? The key is that he is different from us, the three of us have fallen in love many times and we have always encountered one or two reluctant people, but Li-ge’s character and that ‘reluctant to fall in love’ seem to be opposites. Do you think I should worry?”
Cai Yan: “Unfortunately, Li-ge is very protective, so it’s useless for you to worry about it even if you want to.”
“How dare you say that? You didn’t help me with dinner, and now you’re dragging me.” Lin Yihuan said in disgust.
Cai Yan, “I’m telling the truth.”
“You’re just trying to turn against me.”
“Okay, okay.” Gan Qingyan interrupted the two with a smile, “Don’t you know what kind of temperament Yan-zhi has, who asked you to ask him?”
“Then we won’t do anything?”
Gan Qingyan sighed, “Let’s find another opportunity and talk about it.”
…
Xie Li and Yu Rui walked into the hallway quietly, so quietly that you could hear their breathing.
Yu Rui thought to himself that this was a bit strange; even close friends will feel embarrassed not to talk after some time alone, and only when you are very close can you be alone without talking.
But he and Xie Li seemed to have skipped those steps so quickly that he reached this current state without even realizing it.
… It must be Xie Li’s ‘sickness’.
The sensor light on the first floor was not yet fixed, Xie Li stepped forward in the darkness, pulling Yu Rui with one hand, stepping on the flat floor and up the steps, and then silently pulling Yu Rui’s wrist at the place where he should pay attention as a reminder.
Although they both knew that Yu Rui should be much more familiar with this place than Xie Li having lived here for so many years, he should be able to walk with his eyes closed.
And it would be much faster than what Xie Li was doing now.
After waiting for a while until finally reaching the second floor, Yu Rui couldn’t help but speak, “You can turn on the flashlight on your cell phone.”
In the gloom that his eyes could barely adjust to, Xie Li laughed softly, “I’m not stupid. Of course, I didn’t turn it on purpose.”
“??”
“It’s rare for the Class President to behave so well, and I may never see him like this again, of course, I want to enjoy it more while I have time.”
Yu Rui was silent, and sighed, “You’re sick, aren’t you, Xie Li.”
Unlike the previous gnashing of teeth, this time the young man’s voice carried a clear sense of helplessness. Perhaps it was because of his illness, the emotional base underneath that helplessness was soft, so soft that it gave people the vague illusion of being spoiled.
Xie Li paused for a few seconds and laughed, “Yes, very sick. And the ‘medicine’ is right in front of my lips, do you think I should take it or not, Class President?”
Yu Rui felt that he must have been feverish today, otherwise, he would not have taken advantage of the darkness, of the fact that the man could not see the genuine emotions under his eyes, of the fact that all respondents did not have to be taken and all true feelings could be faked…
A cold laugh was heard.
“As you wish, I don’t have the strength to resist anyway.”
“!!”
Xie Li’s grip on Yu Rui’s wrist suddenly tightened.
It was like an iron hoop, almost twisting the person’s flesh and bones and kneading them. After a few seconds of deadlock like this, Xie Li pulled the man towards himself little by little.
Indeed, there was no resistance and he couldn’t even see the teenager’s expression in the darkness.
Yu Rui was dragged by him to the nearest point and then leaned against the wall of the building. Xie Li bowed slightly, and a laugh too hoarse to be a laugh escaped from his throat and chest, “…. Do you know what you just said, Class President?”
Unlike the last time, he faced the same situation, when Yu Rui was so tense he was almost about to explode. At this moment the teenager’s voice sounded calm and relaxed, even with a languid coolness born of serious illness.
“I said I have no strength. I won’t be able to resist whatever you do.”
Yu Rui heard Xie Li’s breathing deepen as soon as his own words came out of his mouth.
In the darkness, Yu Rui, who had mentally prepared for this, was still frowning slightly.
…Is this person always ready to have a ‘rut’ anytime and anywhere?
During the few seconds Yu Rui was distracted, Xie Li had already lowered and came closer to him. The hot breath brushed Yu Rui’s ear with a temperature that could burn people.
He was too close.
It was as if he was about to kiss.
Yu Rui’s cheeks burned slightly, and he hesitated before turning his face away, “Let’s go upstairs.”
“….What?” Xie Li’s voice was low and muffled in his ears, brushing against his eardrums.
The temperature on Yu Rui’s face grew heavier, “Let’s go upstairs.”
“Why?”
Yu Rui choked for a moment, “There will be people passing by.”
“…. well.”
As soon as Yu Rui heard this answer, and before he had time to react, he felt a tightness in his waist and legs, then the next second he was carried up: Xie Li lifted him in his arms.
This act of being treated as weak almost made Yu Rui lose all his previous composure. He clenched his hands roughly and then forced himself to release them by gritting his teeth.
Xie Li carried Yu Rui upstairs as quickly as possible this time.
Yu Rui felt deeply humiliated as he was carried and took out the key to open the door. When the door closed behind him, Yu Rui finally couldn’t hold back.
“…. put me down.”
Xie Li paused and complied.
Yu Rui stood up firmly holding onto the shoe rack, and then, sensing something, raised his hand to grab Xie Li’s hand.
In the living room, only a little moonlight was coming in through the window, and in the gloom, Xie Li looked at Yu Rui.
The teenager’s voice sounded calm.
“No need to turn on the lights.”
“….”
Xie Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment, he lowered his gaze and smiled, his voice muffled, “Okay, we won’t turn on the lights. Then where would you like to do it?”
“?”
“After all, it’s your first time, isn’t it? It’s better to do it where you like it – the kitchen? The living room? Or…” Xie Li’s eyes seemed to follow Yu Rui’s wrist to where he had pressed his fingertips, “… on the shoe rack?”
“!!”
The composure Yu Rui maintained nearly cracked for a moment. After saying a million times in his mind ‘this is a pervert’ and ‘that’s normal for a pervert’, he finally spoke with difficulty, “Let’s go to my room.”
This time Yu Rui didn’t give Xie Li an extra chance, he quickly changed his shoes in the dark and hurried into the bedroom.
What he didn’t see was that the small smile on Xie Li’s face behind him had abruptly vanished into thin air.
After remaining in the darkness for a few seconds, Xie Li changed his shoes and followed him.
When Xie Li entered Yu Rui’s room, Yu Rui was already standing in front of his desk.
He was closing the curtains when he heard the movement, the young man by the window turned sideways, his voice cold and calm, “Xiao Li will be home in two hours, leave early.”
Xie Li slowly clenched his canines, and after a second or two he smiled abruptly, “Okay, ah.”
Yu Rui stood by the window, frozen for a few seconds as he mentally sighed silently: hopefully he won’t regret his decision when he wakes up tomorrow.
However, there was nothing else he could do.
With this in mind, Yu Rui reached up and went to unbutton the top button of his shirt.
“No need.”
“Is it?” Yu Rui raised his eyes.
Then he saw Xie Li walking in the darkness with a certain oppressive feeling that made him want to turn around and run away. Xie Li repeated with a slight smile, “I said it’s not necessary, because I would like to unbutton it.”
As the words tumbled out, Xie Li was already standing in front of Yu Rui, holding out his hand.
Yu Rui stiffened, then withdrew his strength.
Xie Li pulled him towards the desk, “You choose the bedroom, I choose here.” Xie Li flexed his fingers and snapped them on the desk with a low sound, “What do you think?”
Yu Rui thought for a moment and tilted his face away, “Whatever.”
“!!” Xie Li’s pupils contracted slightly, he lowered his head and let out a chuckle, “Fine, whatever then.”
The breathing finally relaxed.
Yu Rui sat on the desk, leaning against the white wall behind him, he closed his eyes slowly. His fingertips rested on the edge of the coolness of the window sill, where the unfamiliar textured stone base was cold even in late summer.
A kiss fell lightly on his earlobe.
Yu Rui’s fingers trembled, and closed eyelashes fluttered uneasily, only to be pressed again.
It will pass soon.
Yu Rui calmed down, whether from the unbearable cold that chilled his fingertips or something else.
…That’s how he thought until the breath and heat receded, and his fingers were held by a hand.
Yu Rui opened his eyes in dismay.
In the gloom of the curtains that had been drawn, he couldn’t see Xie Li’s expression, he could only hear the man’s low voice with slight anger between his teeth.
“So all day today, in front of them, you behaved obediently and abnormally, because you were brewing these thoughts?”
Yu Rui was surprised.
Xie Li squeezed his hand tighter, “How about telling me what you think, do you think I only want to do it with you once and get rid of you once you have satisfied me, or do you think that after today all relationship between us will disappear, and you can meet me again like any stranger, as you no longer have to feel any guilt or apology?”
Yu Rui remained silent for a while. After a long time, he spoke softly, “Take whatever ‘medicine’ you want and I will return to the state I want to be in. It’s better if nothing changes, Xie Li.”
“Do you know what I want again?”
Yu Rui frowned and looked at him, “I don’t want to know, but don’t you tell me all the time?”
Xie Li smiled in exasperation and gritted his teeth, “If I just wanted to fuck you, two hours wouldn’t be enough, you’d have to be prepared to die in this room.”
Yu Rui looked at him apathetically.
Xie Li held his breath for a few seconds and turned his face with some exasperation, “Ask me.”
“?”
“Ask me what I want.”
Yu Rui really didn’t want to pay attention to him, but now it was awkward, and this seemed to be the only step to take, “What do you want?”
“You.”
Yu Rui frowned, “You’re deceiving me…”
“I want everything from you.” Xie Li interrupted him, his voice low and hoarse, his words seemed heavy, ” Yu Rui as a whole.”
THE AUTHOR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY:
There is a major reason for the Class President´s change of heart. It’s a pity that Xie Hentai hasn’t realized it yet, otherwise….. kekekeke
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
That’s seriously impressive restraint, to take the time to explain he wants a relationship instead of diving on the offered prize and trying to get the rest later! Xie Li’s friends are a little off the mark huh 😂. I don’t think Yu Rui even thinks of Xie Li as having money, since he offered to find him a better job.
Right, good job I would hate if he did it in hurry.
THT ESCALATED WAY TOO QUICKLY
Good job xie Li! We love the development although you’re still a pervert lol
