Chapter 171: “No, You Know.” (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

The hot summer breeze blew into the room from the window and sprinkled over Yu Qinghuan’s face, rolling up a wisp of hair on his forehead which tightly sticking to his sweaty skin, making his heart even more irritated and stuffy.

Looking blankly at Huo Qu, who was asking for praise with a proud face, Qinghuan stretched out his hands and turned Huo Qu’s handsome face to one side. Angrily, he said, “Leave me alone. Don’t sway in front of my eyes.”

You thought you are pretty smart, huh? Opened the window and bang! Problem solved?

“Qinghuan,” Huo Qu did not leave, but stretched out his hands and hugged Qinghuan instead, rubbing on his shoulder pettishly, “I didn’t sway in front of your eyes, I’m beside you.”

Yu Qinghuan almost choked out a mouthful of blood by this reply, his shaking shoulder even failed to support Huo Qu’s head leaning on it.

He was in fear and trembling, not knowing what kind of fate lied in front of him, while Huo Qu was unaware of it and even could not understand what he meant. Yu Qinghuan’s chest suddenly rose with an avalanche of irritability, which immediately shattered his reason.

He was just about to push Huo Qu aside. Encountering with that pair of dark, bright, but caring eyes, and the hands that were holding his arms, he unconsciously stopped his move.

“Qinghuan,” Huo Qu held Qinghuan’s hands in his palm and his voice was gentle, “Are you thirsty? What about I get you a cup of water?” Huo Qu walked to the table, awkwardly picked up the kettle. He poured a glass of water and handed it to Qinghuan, “Have a drink.”

It was plain boiled water, not as refreshing as ice water, but with a hint of coolness after having been put in the air-conditioning room for so long. Yu Qinghuan lowered his head and took a sip of water. The dryness and irritancy in his heart were relieved in an instant.

Before he met Huo Qu, the boy could not even use a kettle. Last time when he was ill, Huo Qu squatted in front of the socket all day long and held the kettle for research because Yu Xin once said the patient needed more hot water.

What was so simple even to a child could be extremely difficult for him. But he never gave up and struggled to learn how to boil hot water.

In those days, he would remind himself every half an hour like a clock to let Qinghuan drink some hot water.

The thought of Huo Qu kindness to him gradually settled Yu Qinghuan’s heart.

He liked Huo Qu for his innocence and honesty, even if this kind of character would annoy him and make him angry sometimes.

At the beginning of his rebirth, he didn’t know the meaning of having a second life. His parents had gone, and he didn’t have much obsession with money and career. His heart was like floating in the air all day long, never falling on the ground.

However, he met Huo Qu. From the boy, Yu Qinghuan gained a sense of security he had never felt before. Perhaps throughout his lifetime, Huo Qu would always act as what he had just done: ran to open the window when Qinghuan said his chest was stuffy.

However, he felt relished.

“What if your mother doesn’t like me?” Yu Qinghuan sighed, stretched out his hands and hugged Huo Qu, leaning his head on the man’s shoulder feebly.
