Chapter 95 – A Scheming Mind
On the first night of their official relationship, Lin Ganzhi, as expected, suffered from insomnia. But even though he couldn’t sleep, the thought of seeking out Yan Shengping never crossed his mind. Times were different now. Since taking the medicine prescribed by Grandpa Qin, Yan Shengping’s physical fitness had skyrocketed. His appetite was now almost on par with his own, and he could even go to the gym for a run in the morning.
Lin Ganzhi wasn’t good at much, but his intuition was quite strong. If he went over tonight, he probably wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning. After all, just a simple kiss today had been enough for Yan Shengping to completely dominate him!
Thinking about the scene of Yan Shengping pressing him down and kissing him, Lin Ganzhi’s ears burned hot. He simply took out his phone and started posting on Weibo.
People in love really can’t help but share. He and Yan Shengping were already an old married couple to the public, so he could only switch to his alternate account to express his surging excitement!
Lin Ganzhi rolled over with a grunt, then propped himself up by the corner of the bed and, with a trembling hand, posted on Weibo: [We’re together!!! [Sun] [Sun] [Confetti] [Confetti] ~]
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, the messages Lin Ganzhi had posted before already explained everything. The internet surfers, in the spirit of gossip, quickly came online in the middle of the night. Lin Ganzhi’s unremarkable alternate account had already gained nearly ten thousand followers because the little stories he shared were captivating enough. However, Lin Ganzhi treated this scale as a tea party, occasionally discussing things with his “sisters” and recording it like a diary.
[Hehehe, although I guessed it a long time ago, I’m still very excited to see you’re together. For the sake of me getting up in the middle of the night to leave you a comment, can the poster please explain your story in a little more detail~]
[+1 on wanting to hear the story~]
[Ahem, I want to know when you two started having impure thoughts about each other!]
[Is your partner handsome? Dare to post a picture for everyone to see?]
Lin Ganzhi replied to this one individually: [Handsome, not posting.]
What was originally a plain refusal was now being teased by everyone.
[I can almost see a little vinegar pot with his hands on his hips, refusing to show off his husband, hahahahaha!]
[How handsome? We can’t just rely on your description!]
[You guys are too shallow. If you’re going to ask, you should ask like this: Sister, is your husband fierce?]
[Get a room!]
When it came to being suggestive, Lin Ganzhi was no match for the people in the comments section. He could only blush and ignore the comment. Even if he found out in the future, he wouldn’t say anything. Did he not want his face anymore? Yan Shengping probably wasn’t born gay, right? Based on the principle of letting him remain unenlightened for as long as possible, Lin Ganzhi decided to swear to death not to say what two men should do, because he was scared of being kissed by Yan Shengping today.
However, he was very happy to record his and Yan Shengping’s relationship. But it was too late today. He promised in the comments section that he would write a Weibo post to record their story when he had time, which thoroughly whetted the appetites of the gossip-mongers. Later, Lin Ganzhi’s Weibo post did become popular on a certain Q&A platform, but because the celebrity themselves never showed their face, there were many versions. At that time, Lin Ganzhi even pulled Yan Shengping over to watch for fun.
The next morning, Lin Ganzhi woke up very early. After washing up, he found that Yan Shengping’s room was still closed. Lin Ganzhi decided to give it a try and knocked on his boyfriend and top’s door.
“Come in,” a hoarse, deep voice came from inside the room.
Lin Ganzhi pushed the door open and went in, looking with some curiosity at Yan Shengping, who was still lying in bed. At this hour, shouldn’t Yan Shengping already be actively working in his study? Why was he still in bed?
“Are you not feeling well?” Lin Ganzhi asked with concern, pattering over in his cotton slippers.
Yan Shengping turned on his side, revealing his eyes. He didn’t look sick. He gently lifted a corner of the quilt and said in a hoarse voice, “Is it cold? Come in?” Although his words were a polite request, his innocent expression and natural actions…
Gulp.
Lin Ganzhi, who had only been dating for a day, found it a bit hard to adapt to this mode. Although the great beauty looked very tempting, wasn’t it a bit too fast for them? They had only agreed to date yesterday, and today, they were… sleeping under the same quilt? Wait, it’s not like they hadn’t slept together before, in the United States, but… that was a different situation!
“It’s a bit cold this morning. Come in?” Yan Shengping’s hand outside the quilt was a little pale, and his sleepy voice was even hoarser than usual. It sounded like a feather tickling his heart.
“Oh.” The next second, Lin Ganzhi obediently climbed onto the bed. Yan Shengping’s bed was much firmer than the one in his room, but it was also very warm. Just as Lin Ganzhi lay down, Yan Shengping closed the quilt and hugged him from behind. Lin Ganzhi’s body stiffened. Fortunately, the Yan Shengping behind him was not much better off. After hugging him, he didn’t make any other moves. He could feel Yan Shengping’s chest was a little stiff, and the two rookies blushed, not speaking for a long time.
“Why… why are you still in bed so late?” Lin Ganzhi buried his head in the quilt, leaving only his eyes exposed. His gaze nervously darted to Yan Shengping’s arm holding him under the quilt. It had distinct muscle lines. A light poke, and it was hard.
Yan Shengping tacitly allowed Lin Ganzhi’s small movements under the quilt. He tightened his arm slightly, holding Lin Ganzhi closer, and said, “I worked a bit late last night. Had a last-minute meeting.”
“Didn’t you say things have stabilized? Why are you still so busy?” Lin Ganzhi frowned.
Yan Shengping coughed guiltily and lowered his eyes. “Something urgent came up. It’s not usually like this.” The truth was, Yan Shengping was also too happy to sleep. But as a leader, it was a bit too much to torment his subordinates in the middle of the night, so he stayed in the study alone until three or four in the morning and directly broke through the last difficulty of this technology. If nothing else, the group of people in the technology department should be dazedly starting to plan how to spend their early vacation. But if they knew that their boss had solved the problem for them because he was too excited about his new relationship, they would definitely come in a group to give Lin Ganzhi a gift and thank their benefactor!
Lin Ganzhi nodded. Before, his positioning of Yan Shengping was his boss. He certainly couldn’t have any objections to his boss working and earning money to pay his salary. But now he was his boyfriend, and he could finally make requests justifiably. He said, “Yan Shengping, it’s good to work hard, but your health is also important. I’ve never seen a boss work as hard as you. You should at least give yourself a break. You’re still working in the study at night.” After their kiss yesterday, Yan Shengping’s first stop wasn’t his room, but surprisingly the study to continue working. He was a bit too dedicated!
“Okay, then you’ll be in charge of reminding me from now on,” Yan Shengping agreed with rare swiftness. Tian Nini, as Yan Shengping’s personal secretary, had once advised her boss not to work so hard. He did all the work, so what were the people below supposed to do? But she was shut down by a single glance from Yan Shengping. You do as much work as you’re paid for. If you want to slack off, no way. First, you have to get rid of the lazy atmosphere from the top.
How to remind him? “I… I’ll come over at ten every night to remind you?”
Yan Shengping let out a soft laugh, like the ripple left by a bird skimming the water’s surface. “I think it would be more effective if you waited for me here.”
Damn!
Lin Ganzhi turned over with a red face, his pink-haired head fiercely bumping against Yan Shengping’s chest. He… he was being teased! He had to teach Yan Shengping a lesson!
Yan Shengping let out a muffled grunt, grabbed Lin Ganzhi’s shoulder, and lifted him up a few centimeters. When their eyes met, Yan Shengping could just lower his head. Lin Ganzhi covered Yan Shengping’s mouth with a red face, and while marveling at his own swift action, he said, “No, you haven’t brushed your teeth!”
Yan Shengping’s eyes crinkled with laughter, and he said in a hoarse voice, “I did. Half an hour ago.”
“Why would you brush your teeth when you weren’t even awake?”
“Waiting for you,” Yan Shengping said bluntly, his courage growing.
“How did you know I would come?” Lin Ganzhi asked suspiciously.
Yan Shengping reached out and removed Lin Ganzhi’s hand, leaving two last words before kissing him: “A guess.”
“Mmph!”
Lin Ganzhi let out a pained grunt. A kiss is a kiss, why did he have to bite his lower lip every time? Didn’t it hurt him? Lin Ganzhi bit back angrily, but instead of feeling pain, Yan Shengping bullied him even more fiercely. A scheming mind, confirmed! Lin Ganzhi was bullied until he had no temper left, and finally, no strength at all.
By the time Yan Shengping finally showed mercy and released him, Lin Ganzhi’s mind was only left with panting. But Yan Shengping had no intention of ending it. He propped himself up and gently bit Lin Ganzhi’s neck again. Lin Ganzhi let out a pained cry and said in a low, angry voice, “Are you a dog?”
Seeing that he was really bristling, Yan Shengping finally stopped, though not without regret. His gaze lingered on Lin Ganzhi’s neck for a long time, and after confirming that the mark wouldn’t disappear for a while, he lay back down beside Lin Ganzhi and said, “I can’t help it. I like you too much.”
Who likes someone like you do!
Lin Ganzhi covered his neck and burrowed back into the quilt, not wanting to communicate with Yan Shengping anymore! It was just that the slightly reddish back of his neck betrayed him.
Lin Ganzhi comforted himself: it’s normal to be shy when you’re in a relationship for the first time!
“When spring comes, let’s go see Grandma Li again,” Lin Ganzhi said, feeling drowsy in Yan Shengping’s arms, chatting intermittently.
Yan Shengping hummed in agreement. His mind recalled the white-haired woman in the United States. They were both mothers, so why was there such a huge difference? “We should go see her. After all, we owe them a lot for their care.”
“Mmm, and besides, Grandma Li really likes you. More than me,” Lin Ganzhi said with a pout, like a child vying for favor.
Yan Shengping gently stroked Lin Ganzhi’s head as a form of comfort. The peace he felt at this moment surpassed any other time in his life.
The two of them snuggled together and slept from seven in the morning straight through to noon. If Uncle Yan hadn’t come to remind them, they probably would have still been asleep. But what surprised Uncle Yan even more was that Lin Ganzhi was sleeping in Yan Shengping’s bed. Now it was hard for him not to think too much, and he spent the whole day smiling at the two of them.
Caught in the act, Lin Ganzhi was powerless to argue and could only blush as Uncle Yan secretly sized him up. Yan Shengping, on the other hand, showed no signs of being flustered. Instead, he boldly served him food at the dinner table, and after dinner, he even held his hand when they went out to see the snow. Lin Ganzhi was both embarrassed and a little happy.
