Chapter 32

The self-mockery and taunting from Mo Yanze had no effect on He Yanlu’s loneliness. Mo Yanze watched the desolate figure of He Yanlu and most of his provocative anger had already dissipated.

However, he had long been accustomed to, in moments of arrogance, launching a decisive attack on the other person’s psychological defenses.

That sense of superiority addicted him and he enjoyed it. Even if his subconscious was desperately trying to stop his next actions, the words he had rehearsed countless times in his mind still poured out like a tide from his mouth:

“…Heh, not lonely alone? Don’t deceive yourself… When it’s time to yield, just bow your head. Wouldn’t that make things much easier for you?… You’ve grown up with a good appearance, but your mind is so foolish. Without anyone to protect you, how can you survive?…”

“…Writing novels? Do you think you can afford to live in this house with just a bit of manuscript fee and royalties? Can you support yourself for a lifetime? Do you really think your foolish mother truly owns the property rights to this house? Don’t simplify reality like that!… The person who has been secretly supporting you since childhood, do you really think it’s your mother’s old acquaintance? That old acquaintance is your biological father, Mo Lingfeng. Do you understand?…”

Mo Yanze approached step by step, getting more and more excited as he spoke: “Still doubting whether I’m your brother? Do you want me to provide proof of blood relationship? Heh… ‘Mo Lingfeng has not only slept with one woman,’ do you happen to think that I am the same as you? The son who was abandoned by him? Fool… The only one who was abandoned is you… because the main family didn’t want to acknowledge your existence…”

Mo Yanze was getting more and more excited, and just as the telephone on the coffee table rang abruptly, it interrupted his frenzy of verbal attacks.

Once he stopped, he realized that the course of events had gone far beyond his control.

—His younger brother had already teetered on the edge.

His thin shoulders trembled, his body shook like a leaf in the autumn wind.

The once seemingly invincible kite, in the previous storm, broke free from the string in his hand and disappeared into the distant horizon, never to be found again.

This feeling filled Mo Yanze with dread. He had said everything he wanted to say, so why was he feeling so uneasy inside? Why was he feeling so miserable…?

The overwhelming truth, like a torrent of arrows, shot toward He Yanlu, but it couldn’t penetrate his heart because his heart wasn’t there. Every sentence was a hurtful remark, but it still couldn’t compare to the pain caused by Xiao Hei’s departure.

The sharp ringing of the telephone was like the cry of a monster, relentlessly echoing in the living room.

He Yanlu had never felt that his world could be so noisy!

He wanted to cover his ears, but he found that his hands were as heavy as a thousand pounds…

It’s so loud, so uncomfortable, my head hurts…

He’s going crazy! Who will save him!

Mo Yanze stood behind He Yanlu, within arm’s reach.

So, surrender, He Yanlu…

What’s wrong with relying on me?

Let me be your sky, your world…

“Come back with me!”

As soon as his hand touched the other’s arm, He Yanlu jumped back as if he had been shocked. He fiercely turned his head, glaring at Mo Yanze, and somewhat hysterically gritted his teeth and shouted, “Get lost!”

Mo Yanze’s hand awkwardly froze in the air. A few hours ago, he thought he had captured the innocence and dependence of the young boy, but those illusory feelings had long dissipated…

Now, in the other’s eyes, besides endless frost, there was an unmistakable disgust.

His gaze darkened suddenly.

You still don’t know how much of a blessing it is for me to take an interest in you.

If you just obey a little, you could be so much happier…

Mo Yanze let out a cold laugh and sinisterly said, “Do you hate me now? But this is reality.”

Seeing his brother’s body tremble violently, Mo Yanze suddenly felt a bloodthirsty pleasure.

Yes, continue to pressurize him! Why bother with a conciliatory approach? Why be so kind to him and make himself irritable and agitated!

“I’ll give you ten days to prepare. Tomorrow, the photocopy of the property rights of this house will be sent to you. Take a good look. As long as I’m willing, I can take back my property at any time. Then, you’ll be left homeless…”

He Yanlu grabbed his chest, using all his strength to stand, unwilling to show any weakness in front of that man’s gaze.

Be strong, Xiao Lu…

Isn’t that how you’ve always overcome challenges?

Don’t be childish…
“Just grow up, that’s all.”

Seeing that He Yanlu had no response, Mo Yanze taunted again, “Perhaps you can choose to rely on me along with your cat.”

The collar that He Yanlu was holding fell to the ground, and the bell on it made a tinkling sound, as if it was a compassionate bell tolling.

Before leaving, Mo Yanze leaned closer to him and murmured the last words in his ear, “I want you, He Yanlu.”

As soon as the man left, He Yanlu couldn’t hold back his tears anymore. Large teardrops rushed out of his eyes and fell onto the carpet, one after another.

It’s just a dream, why are you crying…

He Yanlu squatted down and tightly hugged himself with his arms.

Fool, it’s because you’re drunk that you feel so uncomfortable, that you have a headache and your heart aches…

He cried with all his strength, finally sobbing out loud.

Ye Yixing returned to Apartment 16 in Xingyue Garden, closing his eyes as he ascended to the second floor. He took a deep breath, hoping that he had returned home safely.

Timidly opening his eyes, Ye Yixing immediately noticed that the door of He Yanlu’s house was slightly ajar, filling him with great joy. The Bodhisattva had answered his prayers! Amitabha Buddha be praised!

Someone was excitedly about to rush into the house, holding a box of lubricant chocolate egg tarts and a rose, but then he heard a strange voice coming from inside. Perhaps due to his enhanced hearing abilities after becoming a cat, Ye Yixing instantly became alert. He hid by the door and eavesdropped for a while. Who was this man?!

What Mo Lingfeng? His biological father?… Related to He Yanlu’s identity?

Since it was unseemly for a handsome guy to be crouching by the door, and mainly because human eavesdropping skills were definitely not as good as a cat’s, Ye Yixing immediately decided to transform back into Xiao Hei.

Half a minute later, a certain black cat anxiously hid behind a vase in the hallway, continuing to eavesdrop. From this angle, he couldn’t see He Yanlu’s expression, only half of his back. How was his fool doing?

Ye Yixing was extremely worried but also incredibly curious about what the unfamiliar man was saying.

Bao Hu Fenghe had never been Ye Yixing’s style. If he rushed in now, there was no guarantee that things would go in a positive direction. At best, it would only alleviate the current deadlock and suppress the other person’s momentum.

In fact, what he wanted to know more was the other person’s intentions. Only then could he come up with a perfect strategy to counter it and achieve victory with a single blow.

So this guy is the prince of the main family! What is he doing here?
Collecting rent? Property or no property, He Yanlu is my person. Tomorrow, I’ll bring him back with me and make a clean sweep. He thinks he can threaten me with a mere property right? Did he get hit on the head with a pressure cooker?

Because he was a cat, his hearing was so sharp that even the murmured words reached his ears. The last sentence, “He Yanlu, I want you,” almost made Ye Yixing’s fur stand on end – he had never seen such a despicable person who only cared about appearances! He was simply unworthy of being a second-generation wealthy!

With jade-green eyes emitting a sharp gaze, Ye Yixing stared at the departing man. He desperately suppressed his indignation and anger, and on the floor, he scratched his paws fiercely, vowing: Dare to touch his dad, and see how I’ll make you regret it in the future! (=皿=)

Helplessly watching He Yanlu pretend to be strong and silent, even though he would later experience a mental breakdown, he only shouted “Get lost” once. But after the “enemy” left, he crouched down and cried, crying so heartbrokenly. It made Ye Yixing’s heart ache with every twitch…

Fool, fool…

Why are you crying? I’m here…

After calming down the surge of indignation in his heart – he had to remain calm, he had to be rational – only then could he become strong enough for his fool to rely on him.

Who said being a hero meant charging in when the atmosphere was heated?

After-the-fact consolation sometimes had a more practical effect.

As he took a cat-like step forward, Ye Yixing suddenly heard He Yanlu whispering.

Ye Yixing hesitated and walked closer…

“Xiao Hei…”

It was confirmed that He Yanlu was calling out to Xiao Hei, trying very hard to call, but for some reason, his voice was very soft.

Ye Yixing’s heart was filled with a mix of emotions, not excitement, not sadness, but a kind of indescribable happiness. In this mood, he transformed back into his human form with a single shake.

The daytime practice was not in vain. Today, he had transformed back and forth several times, and it seemed that he was getting better and better at it.

He Yanlu was too absorbed in his own crying, despairingly calling out Xiao Hei’s name. Then, suddenly, a powerful force embraced him from behind.

He didn’t resist at all, as if he had been eagerly awaiting this embrace.

The person behind him wasn’t Mo Yanze, because the aura was familiar to him. It belonged to…

“I’m here…”

The voice that sounded like Xiao Hei, more magnetic, more commanding, penetrated his ears heavily, reaching deep into his mind… He Yanlu felt his heart tremble!

He wanted to lower his head and see the arms embracing him, but in the next second, the person’s palm covered his eyes, and once again, in Xiao Hei’s voice, they said, “Don’t cry… I’ve always been here…”

His entire body was enveloped in the other person’s arms, just like the embrace of a father that he had always yearned for. Warm and powerful…

He Yanlu dared not make a sound, not even take a deep breath, afraid that any movement would wake him from this dream.

He really wanted to see what this man, who spoke in Xiao Hei’s voice, looked like.

But at this moment, his eyes were covered by the person’s hand, and all he could feel was the warmth in their palm and his own heartbeat pounding like a drum.

The palm of Ye Yixing’s hand was tickled by He Yanlu’s eyelashes, and it became wet with his tears, feeling damp.

Approaching the dazed person, with their body in his arms and their ear by his lips… Ye Yixing took a breath with a smile. He had fantasized for so long, and now, all of this belonged to him.

However, what is this suspicious red mark on his shoulder and neck!?

He Yanlu! You idiot, you let another man mark your body! (=皿=)

Ye Yixing’s eyes turned red with anger, and he fiercely bit down on the obvious mark left by someone’s lips.

“Ah…” He Yanlu, who was defenseless against the man behind him, was caught off guard by the bite. He immediately let out a pained cry, but even this gasping exclamation sounded incredibly alluring.

At this moment, for Ye Yixing, who had already exploded with jealousy, just one bite was definitely not enough to vent his anger.

He continued to bite, lick, and nibble, enjoying it to the fullest, until He Yanlu’s voice changed from a cry to a low moan, and his whole body trembled with the sounds of the man sucking.

For a long time, Ye Yixing reluctantly released his mouth. The new mark now looked like a red and purple mulberry, growing on He Yanlu’s pristine and slender shoulder and neck. The pitiful little red mark from before had completely disappeared under the cover. Looking at his masterpiece, Ye Yixing was very satisfied.

The despair in his heart was suddenly covered by a new emotion, intense and thrilling.

His Xiao Hei hadn’t left, and now he had transformed into a human form, embracing him…

Not only embracing him, but also… sucking on him…

Normally, he should have been repulsed by such behavior. However, He Yanlu suddenly realized, to his surprise, that when this man behind him did the same thing, his heart raced so fast that it was almost unbearable.

Although it hurt a lot when he was bitten, it was completely different from when he was touched by Mo Yanze, which made his whole body shiver with disgust. Instead…

He couldn’t explain it. He couldn’t say it was comfortable, nor could he say he liked or enjoyed it.

What was the reason for this completely different instinctive response?

Yes, if it were Xiao Hei, he would definitely do such things. Because even when he was a cat, he arrogantly marked his territory by rubbing and licking every day. So now, even as a human, his body would become accustomed to his behavior.

It’s just that maybe he hasn’t quite mastered controlling the force of biting things yet? (= =)

Translation:

“Xiao Hei…” He Yanlu muttered in a daze, softly calling out.

Ye Yixing chuckled lowly and suddenly licked He Yanlu’s ear from behind. He instinctively turned his head to dodge, but being held in place, he couldn’t escape the warmth no matter how he struggled. No matter which way he turned his face, the hand covering his eyes stubbornly stayed in place.

He Yanlu breathed lightly, feeling his left ear burning hot.

Ye Yixing kissed the side of his face and whispered, “I’m not Xiao Hei…” Sensing the sudden tension in the other person’s body, he slightly tilted He Yanlu’s face to face him.

The hand covering his eyes slowly loosened, and their gazes instantly met–

With his heart almost jumping out of his chest, He Yanlu looked at the person who was so close, with jet-black hair, handsome features, and a signature confident smile… Everything was within reach.

“I am Ye Yixing,” the person said with a smile.

The pulsating sensation surged like waves, one after another.

He Yanlu’s lips opened and closed, unable to utter a word.

His expression was dumbfounded, his nose turned red, and his eyes moist. When he opened his mouth, his tongue seemed to silently invite Ye Yixing…

Being stared at like this, even a cat would become restless, let alone the fact that Ye Yixing was now human!

With a tight embrace around He Yanlu’s body, Ye Yixing approached inch by inch.

Their noses touched, and he extended his tongue to lick the other’s lips, making a gentle contact.

He Yanlu was still dazed, staring at him with wide eyes, and in his bewildered mind, he thought: Xiao Hei has really become exactly like Ye Yixing!

Unable to hold back any longer, Ye Yixing lowered his head and passionately tasted the delicacy before him.

“Mmm… Ah…” By the time He Yanlu realized what was happening, their tongues were already deeply entwined.

Different levels of drunkenness exist.

At three parts drunk, one sings and recites poetry; at ten parts drunk, one loses consciousness.

At seven parts drunk, one can do as they please–

Without beating around the bush, even in a haze, they tell you directly; when they make a move, they may lack strength but eagerly embrace resistance, adding to the excitement. A potent liquor with a lingering effect doesn’t immediately reveal its power after being consumed. The true signs come afterward, indicating a genuine state of intoxication.

At this moment, the effects of the strong alcohol from the coffee and cake started to slowly emerge within He Yanlu’s body…
