Eternities Still Unsaid Till You Love MeChapter 26

Xu Ze woke up feeling hot and dry all over. The room was filled with a warm yellow light. It was already afternoon.

The fan was still blowing. Xu Ze pulled the blanket down a little and took a deep breath. He was lying on his back. As he turned his head in a trance, he saw Lu Heyang sitting at the desk, supporting his chin with one hand and seemingly looking at him. QZYiks

The afternoon light filtered through the curtains and shone on Lu Heyang, making him look surreal.

Xu Ze’s eyes moved slowly, carefully examining Lu Heyang’s fingers, shoulders, chin, nose, and eyebrows. Xu Ze’s eyelashes drooped and his eyes were drowsy, as if he was caught in a state between being asleep and awake.

If Lu Heyang’s visit to his house at noon was real, then Xu Ze was sure that the current Lu Heyang was a dream.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the courage to look directly into Lu Heyang’s eyes. XiLvyx

Xu Ze rarely dreamed about Lu Heyang, not even a few times a year. He didn’t wish for those dreams because the contrast between dream and reality was so significant that it would leave him feeling depressed upon waking up. Nonetheless, every time he had a dream about Lu Heyang, he treasured it immensely.

He kept his eyes fixed on Lu Heyang as he slowly turned his body sideways to face him and silently locked eyes with him.

Lu Heyang’s left hand, which was resting on his knee, suddenly shifted. Xu Ze’s attention was immediately drawn to the hand.

The five fingers were white and long with distinct joints. The index finger gently grazed his knee, rubbing back and forth lightly. Xu Ze watched for a few seconds, and somehow, this subtle movement made his face and ears flush and his spine numb, as if Lu Heyang’s fingers were caressing his back.

Xu Ze swallowed. As an alpha in rut, he couldn’t withstand the test. He felt extremely ashamed of this association and blushed as he turned his back to Lu Heyang. It was too hot. Xu Ze reached out and grabbed the collar of his T-shirt and pulled it up, removing his shirt and exposing his bare back. Although Xu Ze knew it was just a dream, he still felt the weight of Lu Heyang’s gaze on his back. He took a few deep breaths and turned around again. His clear pupils reflected the image of Lu Heyang.

The blanket still covered Xu Ze’s waist. Xu Ze lifted his right leg and wrapped it around the blanket. After struggling for a few seconds, Xu Ze reached under the blanket with his hand.

Not to mention the thought of doing it with Lu Heyang—Xu Ze would never do such a thing, even if he would die. Bl9XN4

But today, he was dreaming about it. It was just a dream. Xu Ze was deeply tempted and emboldened. He just hoped that when he woke up, he could forget all about it, or else he would never be able to face Lu Heyang again.

With this in mind, Xu Ze closed his eyes and didn’t dare look at Lu Heyang. But he regretted it immediately—he wanted to look at him a little more. So Xu Ze opened his eyes again, but after meeting Lu Heyang’s eyes for a second, he immediately looked away because he felt embarrassed.

His ears were buzzing, and he vaguely heard a “beep”. Xu Ze saw Lu Heyang press something on his wristband, but he didn’t know what he was adjusting. Xu Ze breathed rapidly and tilted his head upward, revealing his bobbing Adam’s apple. He licked his lips and then bit his lower lip to avoid making any sound.

It was the first time he had ever felt such an intense feeling. With tense muscles, he partially shut his eyes, a blush spreading from his face to his collarbone. Under Lu Heyang’s calm gaze, a few minutes later, Xu Ze closed his eyes and let out a few muffled moans, arching his body in a slight spasm. kr5DZQ

He took deep breaths to calm down for a while, then opened his eyes and found that he still hadn’t woken up. After that, he saw Lu Heyang get up and walk toward the bed.

Xu Ze was dazed as he watched Lu Heyang walk over to him. Lu Heyang put his hand on the edge of Xu Ze’s pillow and leaned down. Xu Ze looked at the face at close range and couldn’t find any flaws—while perfection might not exist, Lu Heyang’s face came remarkably close.

Xu Ze’s lower lip was slightly red and swollen from biting. Xu Ze felt that Lu Heyang’s face shouldn’t be this clear. In the past when he dreamed, it always seemed like he was separated by a veil, and he couldn’t see it clearly. Xu Ze held out his clean left hand. It had been dislocated last night, and it still hurt—he wanted to touch Lu Heyang’s face, not daring to do anything else, just touch it.

But before Xu Ze could touch Lu Heyang’s face, he saw Lu Heyang frown and then hold down his hand. Z7gskq

Lu Heyang called him, “Xu Ze.”

The only sound left in the room was the sound of the fan spinning. Xu Ze stared at Lu Heyang blankly from top to bottom. His eyes gradually became clearer.

His face went from blushing to losing all color in an instant. Xu Ze’s face was pale, showing a look of desperation and lifelessness.

He could picture how he must appear at the moment, with his wounds still unhealed, the corners of his mouth swollen, and covered in sweat in rut—in such a predicament, he was actually fantasizing about a same-sex alpha. Mpt5Dk

What would Lu Heyang think of him? Xu Ze didn’t dare think for another second.

He was mute, his throat felt like it was filled with sand. As he realized the truth, his mind became paralyzed and incapable of responding.

“Doctor Zhuo asked me to remind you to take your medicine and check your temperature,” Lu Heyang let go of Xu Ze’s wrist and pressed lightly on his sweaty chest instead. He casually said, “He also told me to ask if your lungs are still hurting.”

His hand brushed Xu Ze’s bare skin, and he felt the rapid heartbeat beneath his palm. m7Wnl8

Xu Ze stiffened, and it took a lot of effort just to shake his head.

“Good.” Lu Heyang moved his hand to the back of Xu Ze’s neck and held it, “Change the suppression patch every three hours. It’ll be more effective.”

As he said this, he not-so-gently pinched the back of Xu Ze’s neck, as if to emphasize how important it was to change the suppression patch.

“Okay,” Xu Ze’s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. He said hoarsely, “You can go back.” Np3RD7

Lu Heyang stood up and looked down at Xu Ze for a few seconds, but Xu Ze had already closed his eyes and buried his face in the pillow. The blanket was still draped around his waist, exposing his upper body and part of his calves. The dim light from the window revealed the sweat and red marks on his body. The red scars were visible around the areas wrapped in gauze and bandages.

It took Xu Ze a full five minutes to sit up from bed after hearing the door close.

Looking no different from a zombie, he dragged his feet to get clean underwear and clothes before opening the door and heading to the bathroom. 9TgFAP

As he passed through the living room, he noticed the thermos container still on the dining table—Lu Heyang had forgotten to take the dishes.

This meant that he would have to return them to him in person at school next week.

Xu Ze had never encountered so many problems at once.

Is there still someone who doesn’t know that Lu Heyang is a true gentleman (says while stroking Xu Ze’s chest muscles) 3PW4wC
