Chapter 170
Ye Zhi drove back to Huo Youcheng’s house, resisting the urge to change course to the Huo family home several times along the way.
He couldn’t let Huo Youcheng suspect anything before he fully recovered. It wasn’t for Huo Youcheng’s sake but for Huo Youqiao’s. Although Ye Zhi felt guilty about cheating on his husband, he didn’t feel he owed him. For Ye Zhi, what Huo Youcheng was experiencing now, he had experienced countless times before, even worse.
But he couldn’t let Huo Youqiao bear more guilt.
After all, they were blood brothers, and even with betrayal, they should at least wait until Huo Youcheng was well enough to leave the hospital.
The villa in the mountains was in a quiet location, with a significant distance between houses. However, because there were many streetlights, it never felt too dark at night. Additionally, the property security often patrolled, making it very safe.
The house was also equipped with the most comprehensive security system, except it didn’t have surveillance cameras.
This was due to Huo Youcheng’s personal preference; he didn’t like feeling monitored.
When the car stopped in the courtyard, the sensor lights immediately turned on. As soon as he opened the door, the lights inside the house automatically lit up. The villa was large, but Ye Zhi’s activity range was small, mainly revolving around the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. He slept in Huo Youcheng’s bedroom, a spacious room designed according to Huo Youcheng’s tastes. However, Ye Zhi never got used to the cold, hard style, no matter how many times he saw it.
He took a shower, then prepared the items he needed for the exam the next day. As he was about to go to bed, he heard the special ringtone of the communicator.
This ringtone was specially set for Huo Youqiao, so he quickly answered, “Aqiao.”
His tone was even a bit excited.
Huo Youqiao’s voice was deep and magnetic, enough to make one’s ears tingle. He said, “Open the door for me.”
Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, then almost immediately ran outside. He crossed the living room, the hallway, opened the inner door, ran across the long courtyard, passed the swimming pool, and reached the front gate. He even forgot that there was a switch inside the house to open the outer gate, and he didn’t need to do it manually.
As soon as the gate opened a crack, Huo Youqiao slipped in.
Seeing the tall man standing in front of him, Ye Zhi stared for a while before dumbly asking, “How did you get here?”
Huo Youqiao smiled and said, “I drove here. The car is parked in the lot outside.”
“No.” Ye Zhi’s Adam’s apple moved, his eyes already brimming with tears. “Why did you come?”
Huo Youqiao hooked his raised fingers, rubbing his finger roots a few times before smiling and saying, “Of course, I missed you.”
After closing the gate completely, they walked back inside hand in hand. As soon as they reached the hallway and shut the door, Ye Zhi was pressed against it. Without waiting for words, they shared a long kiss.
Though it hadn’t been that long since they last saw each other, the longing was uncontrollable. Ye Zhi actively wrapped his arms around Huo Youqiao’s neck, standing on tiptoe to respond to the kiss. His tongue tangled urgently with the man’s, his lips rubbed and sucked repeatedly until they almost couldn’t breathe. Only then did they reluctantly part, still pressing their foreheads together, almost touching noses. Ye Zhi felt a bit flustered and whispered, “What if you’re discovered here? If he really suspects something, he might have people watch this place.”
Huo Youqiao, seeing his panic, kissed his lips and reassured him, “There’s no one.”
“How do you know?”
Huo Youqiao laughed, “Don’t you trust me?”
Of course, Ye Zhi trusted him. His words provided enough security. Ye Zhi couldn’t help but hold him tightly around the waist and whispered, “You shouldn’t have come… We should endure for a while… The doctor said his recovery is progressing well. Maybe he could be discharged in just half a year.”
“But you miss me too.” Huo Youqiao threaded his fingers through Ye Zhi’s hair, holding the back of his head to make him look up. He kissed Ye Zhi’s lips again and chuckled softly, “This afternoon, my poor baby wanted me to hold him, wanted me to kiss him, looking so pitiful. I just couldn’t resist coming.”
