The boy's eyelashes were dark and thick and created a shadow over his eyes.
At a glance, it seemed impossible to see the veins on the surface of the iris, as if no light could enter that darkness.
The ends of his eyes were slender and curved, bringing a strange charm.
The boy looked quietly at the woman, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated: fear, panic, despair, and a bit of pity.
The woman's emotions were the complete opposite: bitter, sad, with deep love, yet inexplicable hatred and envy.
She spoke quietly, her words full of sharp thorns and knives: "Huo Chen, you're pathetic ah. You've been fascinated by a man's sweet words and now you've left behind your self-esteem. You circle around him like a dog, what's the difference between you and me?"
"Huo Chen, look clearly, anyone can do that kind of companionship anyone can do. You can even buy it by just spending a bit of money. Do you really think he'll be with you forever?"
"Look at mommy, Huo Chen. Open your eyes and look. Mommy is the best example. Back then your dad said he loved me, said he would love me for a lifetime, but then..."
"He locked me in this room and never cared about me. Even when I died in front of him, he didn't take a second glance. He didn't even shed a single tear in front of me, he only cried in front of others. He cared for his reputation, for so many other things, but never me..."
"Huo Chen, we are the same. You are my child. My life was a pit of dirty mud, rotten trash, you won't live any better. You're also mud, also trash, and can only forever rot in the ground. Do you think you can clean yourself? Do you think you can be happy?"
The boy's pale lips moved gently. His throat was dried up so his voice was hoarse and weak.
"Mom, we've always been the same."
"Dad lied to you, because you were useful at first. Dad abandoned you, because you had no more value. You were a burden to him, and was something could be discarded at any time, not even regarded as a person."
"Mom, I'm different. I can create countless wealth and interests. I can always bring profit, so no one will abandon me."
"I acknowledge that you gave birth to me. You are the mud, the trash, and in my body flows your blood. I am even dirtier and more rotten than you are."
The boy used his bruised legs to limp towards the woman and stood in front of her. His thin, small hand stretched out and covered the woman's face. His eyes were full of madness and violence. Without his human appearance, just looking at those eyes would be the image of a fierce and cruel beast.
"Mom, you were eaten away by Dad, but I'm different. In my body also flows Dad's blood, and I will eat away at him."
The boy smiled at the woman, and his smile was almost naive and pure. Blood flowed down from his red lips: "So, whether or not he is sincere or not, I don't care, as long as he's mine..."
When Huo Chen woke up, the warm lamp light illuminated his surroundings silently, blocking out the boundless darkness.
While asleep, Lin Yuan's sleeping posture was a little clingy. His hands wrapped around his neck, and one leg was on Huo Chen's leg, treating Huo Chen like a large pillow.
The young man's head was on his cheek, and the warm and smooth breathing flowed continuously. It brought Huo Chen freshness and vitality that he'd never had.
Huo Chen turned over and held him tightly in his arms to make sure that he was real. He couldn't help bowing his head to kiss Lin Yuan. His cool lips touched the young man's forehead, eyelashes, eyes, nose, and lips.
It was different from the wild kiss last night. Huo Chen wasn't so much kissing Lin Yuan as absorbing the other's warmth and liveliness. He used this to disguise himself as an ordinary person that could feel pain, love, and hate.
Lin Yuan slept deeply and only huge movements would wake him up. Huo Chen's movements were light, so he continued sleeping.
He slept until his biological clock stirred. When he saw Huo Chen looking at himself, he became so excited he woke up completely.
"You still didn't sleep last night?" Lin Yuan reached out his hand and touched Huo Chen's face. His round and bright apricot eyes stared at him closely, and the worries in his eyes were clearly visible.
Huo Chen didn't answer instantly and just looked at Lin Yuan. After a while, he tightly held Lin Yuan's hand and lightly closed his eyes to kiss Lin Yuan's warm palm.
"I slept for around three to four hours, had a dream, and then woke up. Once I woke up, I couldn't fall back asleep."
"Had a dream?" Lin Yuan blinked his eyes and nestled closer, almost lying on top of Huo Chen: "What kind of dream? Was it a bad dream?"
He put his other hand on Huo Chen's back and gently patted him to comfort him: "It's ok, Huo Chen, don't be afraid. I'm always here..."
Huo Chen heard his well-behaved and soft voice and couldn't help laughing. He put his chin on top of the young man's soft hair, and felt a gentle numbing itch, which was both subtle but distinct.
"For me there are no good dreams and no bad dreams, they're all the same."
"But now, when I have dreams I want to dream of Sui Sui. Then we can be fully entangled."
Experiencing life and death together both day and night.
Lin Yuan felt that Huo Chen was always saying strange and incomprehensible things, but he was open minded and if he didn't understand he wouldn't think too hard about it. He only answered what he understood.
"You want to dream of me? In your dream, can you let yourself eat three bowls of rice and a lot of dishes, got to bed at 10 o'clock, grow tall and strong, and be healthy?"
When Huo Chen heard this, he laughed and pinched his waist: "Are you disliking that your husband isn't muscular enough? Don't worry, my body isn't that bad. I can still deal with you all night."
Lin Yuan's waist was pinched by him and he felt a little weak, and couldn't help humming: "No, you can't deal with me. I'm your wife, you should take care of me instead."
Huo Chen: "It's because you're my partner that I have to deal with you."
Lin Yuan: "???"
As a wife, he still had to be dealt with?
In the next period of time, Lin Yuan's life was simple and regular. In the morning, he stayed in the villa and watched cartoons. Yes, cartoons. Huo Chen specifically instructed Housekeeper Yuan to put on cartoons. If he wasn't watching, then he would chat with Housekeeper Yuan, or stroll outside, or go to Huo Chen's study to read books. Lin Yuan was never bored.
When the chef finished preparing food, he brought lunch to the Huo building to eat with Huo Chen. After eating, he stayed with Huo Chen for the rest of the afternoon. In the evening, he came back with Huo Chen, and after eating dinner, he showered and got ready to sleep.
Huo Chen's appetite was much better than before, and his sleep quality was also a little better. But compared to Lin Yuan, or compared to ordinary people, it was still very bad.
And his blackening value was now hovering at 35%, and hadn't moved for several days.
Today, as soon as Lin Yuan arrived at the office at noon, Huo Chen let him sit on his lap and kissed him impatiently. The young man's lips were warm and soft, like fudge, bringing an incredibly soft touch and sweetness.
Lin Yuan didn't expect Huo Chen to be so impatient. Before he could say anything, something flexible and soft passed his lips and penetrated into his mouth.
Slender and cool fingers fell on the back of the young man's neck and rubbed. Lin Yuan became dizzy in less than half a minute. His strength seemed to have been drained, and his eyes were full of teary mist.
The two kissed passionately, and the air around them heated up. But suddenly at this time, the secretary knocked on the door: "Boss Huo, Mr. Huai wants to see you."
Huo Chen opened his eyes lazily and glanced at the office door and slowly loosened his hold on the young man in his lap. He kissed the other party's slightly swollen lips and whispered: "Huo Huai An is here. I'll kiss you later, okay?"
Lin Yuan felt comfortable while kissing and still wanted to kiss. Now that he was interrupted by someone, he snorted unhappily to express his dissatisfaction. But he was always obedient and soft. He kissed Huo Chen's cheek heavily and he said in a loud voice: "Then later you have to kiss me ten times."
After saying that, Lin Yuan felt that ten times shouldn't be enough and immediately multiplied it: "No, you have to kiss me 50 times."
Huo Chen rubbed his black hair: "Ok, I'll kiss Sui Sui 50 times."
Lin Yuan happily nodded: "En, we agreed on 50 times. We have to kiss a lot then."
After appeasing his partner, the gentleness on Huo Chen's beautiful face vanished in an instant, leaving only frosty like coldness, and his voice didn't contain any temperature: "Let him come in."
The secretary opened the door from the outside and said politely to Huo Huai An behind him: "Please come in, Mr. Huai."
Seeing that it was Huo Huai An who interrupted their kiss, Lin Yuan didn't want to give him a nice look. But thinking that this was not polite, he hugged Huo Chen's neck so the back of his head faced Huo Huai An and said in a low voice: "Annoying ghost, disturbing my kiss."
Huo Huai An couldn't hear it because he whispered, but Huo Chen heard it very clearly and a smile flashed across his narrow and dark eyes.
He reached out and patted the young man's back to comfort him. Huo Chen raised his eyes to look at Huo Huai An and said: "If you have something to say, say it clearly. I still have things to do."
Huo Huai An and Lin Yan had long gone past first base. Seeing the obvious kiss marks on Huo Chen's lips, he understood what had just happened at a glance. But he was still very surprised, did Lin Yuan, that little fool, really move Huo Chen, this big stone?
His eyes couldn't help falling on the young man in Huo Chen's arms, and numerous dark thoughts were surging in Huo Huai An's mind.
If…Lin Yuan fell in love with himself, then wouldn't Huo Chen go completely crazy?
That would be great. A madman should stay a madman.
