What should I do if the man I’ve been dreaming about suddenly hug me? I’m waiting anxiously online!
Oh My God, my heart feels like it’s soaked in honey water, sweet and soft.
My body, it’s as if it had been electrocuted. It’s soft and numb.
Ye Qingran stood rooted to the ground. Her sensitive mind suddenly froze, leaving only a blank space.
She kept asking in her heart with the only sentence, “What should I do? What should I do?”
By the time she came back to her senses, Chu Yan had released her.
Ye Qingran raised her eyes to look at him. Her eyes darted around as she thought to herself, ‘is it a hug from a brother, a hug from a friend, or a hug from an elder to a junior?’.
Should she ask him directly?
Was it too direct and not reserved that it might scare him off?
But he had hugged her directly, and he was even more direct. He did not feel anything, so what was there to be afraid of.
“Brother, you…” hug me.
“A hug after returning. What’s wrong? We haven’t seen each other for a while, and you’re so stingy that I am allowed to hug you.”
Chu Yan was so magnanimous, but it made Ye Qingran feel that she seemed to be overthinking things.
She laughed. “Brother, you can’t blame me. It’s just that my charm is too great, killing both men and women.”
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows. “Kill both men and women? A man confessed to you?”
“Well, I think there was one, but I didn’t pay attention to it.” In the host’s memory, there was indeed a time when she was too good-looking and dressed as a man. It was not strange for a gay man to like her.
“Kid, if you meet such a man, you should punch him directly. Do you know that?” A cold dark light flashed in Chu Yan’s eyes.
“I heard Ruoruo say that there was a man who confessed to you with a gift and was thrown into the moat. Is that true?” Ye Qingran asked with a smile.
Chu Yan said calmly, “Why was Ruoruo talking about this?”
“Because she…” she suspected that I liked you and was afraid that you would throw me into the moat. “She wanted to tell me that you don’t like men.”
She paused for a moment and asked, “Other than men, have any other girls confessed to you?”
“They shouldn’t be as charming as you.”
“Are you trying to tell me that no girls are confessing to you? That’s impossible, right?” Ye Qingran knew that he was lying to her the moment she heard it.
“I don’t remember,” Chu Yan replied casually.
“How can you not remember such an important thing? You have to know that this is the time to show off your charm. This is what men care about the most.”
The host and the boy had been together for a long time. The most common topic of their conversation was which girl was pretty, which girl they fancied, and which girl liked them.
Being liked by a pretty girl was a great thing for them.
“I don’t know if other men care about it, but I know that I don’t.”
“Then, if…” Ye Qingran wanted to say something, but she stopped halfway.
Chu Yan looked at her. “What if?”
Ye Qingran pursed her lips…
At that moment, her stomach was rumbling when she suddenly heard the sound of hunger.
Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment, then she felt awkward.
Chu Yan looked at her and smiled faintly. “Hungry?”
Ye Qingran replied with a little embarrassment, “I fell asleep on the plane and didn’t have dinner.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I’m so hungry now that I can eat anything.” Ye Qingran pointed to the south. “I remember that there’s a good restaurant over there. It should be not closing yet. Why don’t we go there and eat something before we go back?”
Chu Yan and Ye Qingran sat in the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat respectively. Chu Yan started the car and replied, “Auntie bought a lot of dishes at home. Just let her cook whatever you want to eat. You can eat it when you get home.”
Ye Qingran thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have fish?”
“Yes.”
“Then I want a braised fish with red sauce and stir-fried meat with green peppers. Others are up to you. Whatever Auntie cooks, I’ll eat.”
Chu Yan used his Bluetooth to call his auntie, reminding her to cook fish and stir-fried meat with green peppers. He also added a portion of tofu, which was also Ye Qingran’s favourite dish.
“Brother, have you not eaten yet?”
“I’m waiting for you to eat with me.”
“What if my flight is late? It might take me until midnight.”
Ye Qingran still couldn’t get over the hug.
While Chu Yan was focused on driving, she used her phone to search on the Internet: What does it mean for a man to hug a man?
The answer was all about men hugging women, all kinds of hugs.
Love, friendship, sympathy, gay love…
About an hour later, they returned to the small villa.
The housekeeper auntie had prepared the dishes. After bringing them out, she greeted the two of them and went back.
Ye Qingran was hungry. After washing her hands, she came out and started eating with a big bowl in her hand.
When she was almost done eating, Ye Qingran saw Chu Yan sitting opposite her. “Brother, is there something you want to tell me?”
“Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?”
“Nothing.”
Ye Qingran smiled and lowered her head to eat. She chewed slowly and did not say anything else.
Chu Yan asked indifferently, “Did anything interesting happen while you were playing outside during this period?”
Ye Qingran replied with a smile, “There are many, many interesting things. I met a lot of interesting people. In an ancient city, I met an old man. That old man was a very powerful scientist. After he retired at the age of sixty, he would sit at the entrance of a shop in the ancient city every day. People said that he was waiting for his first love…”
She had seen tens of millions of people in the world and their lives, so she could better examine herself.
She understood that everyone’s life was different. There were sacrifices and gains. A person’s life was very short, so she did not want to make things difficult for herself.
She cherished the present and moved forward calmly.
She told Chu Yan a few things about the people and things she met on the journey.
Chu Yan’s tone seemed to have some regret, but it seemed to be a joke. “If I had known that it would be so fun, I would have gone with you.”
Ye Qingran said, “Next time, there will be a very beautiful ancient city. In March next year, the Peach Forest will bloom and it will be even more beautiful. Brother, shall we go together?”
Chu Yan immediately said, “Okay.”
After eating, Ye Qingran immediately stood up to tidy up. Chu Yan held her hand and said, “Don’t move. I’ll do it.”
“Let’s do it together.”
“No need. You rest.” Chu Yan put away all the dishes.
Ye Qingran followed him in. Chu Yan washed the dishes while she stood by the side. “I’ll wipe the water and disinfect it.”
Chu Yan washed one after another. She wiped the water dry and put it into the disinfecting cabinet.
“Brother.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingran looked straight at Chu Yan. She found that Chu Yan seemed to be in a good mood tonight. He laughed a few times, which made people feel very comfortable.
“Brother, let me tell you a secret?” Her soft voice was accompanied by a moist and hot breath that sounded in Chu Yan’s ear.
“HMM?” Chu Yan glanced at her.
“I like brother…”
