You Should Restrain YourselfCh18 - As If Nothing Had Happened

Ji Shuyan returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed but couldn’t fall asleep again.

It was just after three o’clock when he went out, but when he came back, it was already almost five o’clock. The sky would turn white in another two hours, but he was still staring at the ceiling without feeling sleepy, in fact, he felt more energetic than before he went out. d7yQUY

He simply regretted it. Even if he couldn’t sleep, he should’ve just stayed inside the house honestly. Why did he blindly decide to go out on a walk for nothing?

It wasn’t impossible to go out if he wanted to. Last night would have been quite a cozy atmosphere, and it wouldn’t be too much for him, as a kind-hearted parent, to comfort a young man who was sad and disillusioned with his family because he came out.

A thousand mistakes, but in the end, he should never have drunk that beer.

Alcohol is harmful. xqSbrg

Ji Shuyan covered his face in pain, his temples aching all of a sudden.

He still felt a bit of pain in his lips. Duan Zhi just now wasn’t much different from a beast let out of it’s cage, fierce and violent.

He, on a rare occasion, let out a curse in his heart, but after letting it out, he found that it wasn’t enough and cursed again in a low voice, “Little brat.”

Wasn’t he just a little brat?

He didn’t like anyone from the so many youthful classmates in his school, and insisted on getting entangled with him, an elder who was ten years older than him.

Originally, he was still worried about what to do if Duan Zhi was deeply in love with Ji Yuan, but now that he thought about it, Duan Zhi might as well like Ji Yuan.

Ji Shuyan who was full of worries, could only fall asleep when it was dawn, only being able to sleep for two hours in total. At about nine o’clock the next day, Ji Yuan knocked on his door conscientiously, calling him for breakfast. 4uwaFp

He rubbed his sore temples, really wanting to beat Ji Yuan up.

Ji Yuan didn’t have the slightest idea that he was in danger, and was still yelling, “Uncle, don’t stay in bed, Duan Zhi is already making breakfast. We have also ordered dim sum takeout from the restaurant, it’s very delicious. It would be a shame to miss it.”

Who wants dim sum?

Ji Shuyan covered his face helplessly, not wanting to get up, but seeing how Ji Yuan refused to leave until he woke up, he could only respond involuntarily, “I know, stop knocking. You go to the dining room first.” RfN rZ

“Oh, then hurry up.” Ji Yuan ran away in a hurry.

Ji Shuyan lay in bed for a few more minutes before reluctantly getting up to change his clothes. His movements were sluggish and slow, as if he were stalling for time.

Just now, when he heard the words “Duan Zhi”, his heart skipped a beat.

He wasn’t so forgetful that he couldn’t even remember what happened last night, and the thought of sitting at the same table to eat with this little brat who had just confessed to him last night filled him with discomfort. odTSre

However, not going out was out of the question. He could hide for a while, but he wouldn’t be able to hide for a lifetime.

Not to mention, this trip wasn’t over yet, they would have to return to Wucheng together sooner or later. Just considering the close relationship between Duan Zhi and Ji Yuan, they would inevitably have to deal with each other. It was impossible for him to let Ji Yuan break off his relationship with Duan Zhi because of this issue.

Ji Shuyan buttoned up his shirt and glanced in the mirror. He had hardly slept all night. His face was a little pale, and there was a light green colour under his eyes. One could tell at a glance that he hadn’t had a good rest.

But on the whole, there wasn’t any problem, and he looked no different from usual. yVkLON

He gave himself a minute of mental preparation

before he pushed open the door and walked out. He descended the steps and arrived at the dining room on the first floor. He immediately saw Duan Zhi who was putting breakfast on the table.

Duan Zhi also happened to raise his head, and the air quietened as the two people’s eyes collided.

Ji Shuyan noticed at a glance that Duan Zhi wasn’t as energetic as usual, his hair was a little messy, his eyes were still bloodshot, his aura was subdued, and the cut on his lips which hadn’t yet healed, had formed a dark-coloured scab. IRrKLd

Fortunately, his appearance was handsome enough, so even with this lack of spirit, he showed a decadent beauty.

Seeing Ji Shuyan come over, Duan Zhi’s expression froze for a moment. Then, he lowered his head and said as if nothing had happened, “Good morning, Uncle Ji.”

Uncle Ji.

Ji Shuyan pursed his lips. Now he knew how to play nice. He wasn’t like this yesterday when he pressed him down and called him “Ji Shuyan”. Yt1dwP

But since Duan Zhi could knowingly and intelligently pretend that nothing had happened, he wouldn’t be too fussy about it. He nodded and said calmly as before, “Morning.”

The breakfast on the table was ready, and it was indeed as rich as Ji Yuan described. Ji Shuyan could see from just a glance that almost all of them were his favourites.

He couldn’t help but think of the last time Duan Zhi stayed over at his house, he was so attentive and considerate in the morning then too. It’s just that, at that time, he thought with all his heart that it was Duan Zhi’s nature to be like this and didn’t realise that it might actually be Duan Zhi trying to curry favour with him.

Holding his chopsticks, he suddenly felt a bit at a loss for words. IQMdTb

Duan Zhi sat across from him, drinking his soy milk without saying a word.

Only Ji Yuan, who was completely out of the situation, didn’t feel anything strange at all. He picked up a box of dim sum in a small bamboo basket and placed it in front of Ji Shuyan, “Uncle, try this. They are savoury dim sums, it’s their speciality. Duan Zhi especially bought it for you knowing that you like them.”

Ji Shuyan: “…”

He looked at the dim sum, then at Ji Yuan, and was really tempted to hit Ji Yuan’s forehead with his chopsticks. nardNp

But since the dim sum was already handed to him, he pursed his lips, and took a piece.

He glanced at the opposite side from the corner of his eyes. Duan Zhi remained unusually silent from beginning to end, without even raising his head, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.

In this weird atmosphere of everyone having their own thoughts, breakfast was finally finished. Ji Shuyan placed the plate in the kitchen of the villa, a waiter would come to collect them later. 4QS1aq

He poured a glass of lemon and honey water, added two cubes of ice, and drank it in one gulp. Thinking about the upcoming day of travel, he felt a growing headache.

This was the real test.

He had to spend the entire day close to Duan Zhi, just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.

But when he came out of the kitchen, there was only Ji Yuan wearing a sun hat and carrying a small schoolbag in the living room. KZy8jP

“Where’s Duan Zhi?” he asked.

“Duan Zhi said he wasn’t feeling well,” Ji Yuan frowned and said with a face full of worry, “He was fine just now but after having breakfast, he suddenly said he had a headache and didn’t want to go out, let the two of us go without him today. I said I would send him to the hospital but he refused, saying that it wasn’t serious and he just needed to lie down.”

Ji Shuyan glanced upstairs.

He wasn’t as stupid as Ji Yuan, so of course he understood that Duan Zhi wasn’t uncomfortable at all, he was just looking for a reason to avoid him. tz1MXf

He wasn’t the only one who felt embarrassed by that impulsive confession yesterday.

Duan Zhi also knew that neither of them would be happy if the two of them went out today.

“Then let him sleep,” Ji Shuyan said, “He’s not a child anymore, he can take care of himself.”

Ji Yuan was still uneasy, “But…” 3M8mO5

Ji Shuyan interrupted him, “If he’s still unwell when we come back at night, I’ll go and see him. Don’t worry.”

Ji Yuan thought about it and felt that it was okay. Ji Shuyan is a doctor, so he would be able to handle it if it was anything serious.

“Okay then, let’s bring him back some souvenirs.” Ji Yuan rubbed his hands, “Let’s go visit the gardens and the museum.”
