Scumbag Falls for Fiance After Breaking Engagement(ABO)

Chapter 23: Unknown Answer

　　Shen Liangyue took off his gold-rimmed glasses and closed his eyes while leaning back on the recliner. These days, he was always lazy and had no energy. The housekeeper knocked on the door of the study and came in with a bunch of beautiful roses. In the bleak autumn, these flowers were watery and deep red, just like red corals just fished out of the sea.

　"I told you that you don't have to bring any flowers into the house."

　　The housekeeper carefully arranged the bouquet and replied slowly, "This bouquet is from Master He."

　　Shen Liangyue snorted lightly and said angrily, "Why are his flowers always an exception?"

　　"Because I watched him grow up." The old butler smiled kindly. "More than ten years ago, when he was still a little kid, he pitifully begged me to give you a dogtail grass ring. At that time, I promised him that I would deliver everything for him."

　　Shen Liangyue opened his eyes and looked at the housekeeper with dissatisfaction. Although He Mingfeng's people had not come in the past half month, roses had arrived every day. He walked over and took the card from the bouquet. "Only roses can bloom like roses, nothing else can. That's beyond doubt." Shen Liangyue muttered softly. He put the card into the drawer as usual, and said to himself: "You can only say some useless nice words"

　　Sadness and loss rose in his heart again, and he walked to the piano room upstairs in a depressed mood, pouring out his emotions in the graceful and melodious piano music. In the sunlight in the room, a slender and strong hand reached out from the side and helped Shen Liangyue turn a page of the piano score.

　　He felt the gaze, bit his lip slightly, and looked down at the piano keys. The music was melodious, the light and shadows were flowing, and the hand was diligently turning the pages one by one. After a while, seeing that Shen Liangyue was unmoved, he deliberately turned the pages faster and faster. Shen Liangyue still ignored it, and his snow-white and slender fingers played freely, and the music was not messy at all. He had memorized the piano score long ago.

　　The hand flipped through the music score from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning. The person behind him sighed softly and sat down next to Shen Liangyue. Taking advantage of the moment to take a breath, the person's big hand pressed the piano keys and played with Shen Liangyue.

　　The notes flowing from the black and white keys danced in the sunlight. They coordinated well and played beautifully and smoothly, but Shen Liangyue suddenly increased the speed and played faster and faster. Gradually, his hands could not keep up with his rhythm, revealing their clumsiness and lack of skills.

　　"Wrong," the piano made a discordant noise, Shen Liangyue's fingers flew around, and she said with a straight face: "I played it wrong again. Are you here to make trouble?"

　　The hands slid down from the piano keys and quietly hooked around Shen Liangyue's slender waist under her silk shirt.

　　He finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned his head, staring at the pair of light brown glasses, and said unhappily: "Take your hands away!"

　　He Mingfeng smiled with success, leaned forward and kissed Shen Liangyue on the cheek, then whispered in his ear: "I miss you."

　　Shen Liangyue snorted, turned his head back, and refused to cooperate. He Mingfeng turned his face and kissed him again. Shen Liangyue leaned back and pushed him with his hands, but He Mingfeng grabbed his fingertips and pressed them back on the piano keys. "Keep playing," he rubbed the sweet and soft lips of the omega, his chest shaking slightly, and laughed softly, "Otherwise the housekeeper will guess that we are doing something bad."

　　The alpha held the pale lips tenderly and forcefully, licking the omega's teeth and tongue like a cat stroking its fur. Shen Liangyue tried to stay calm, but she had already pressed several wrong notes on the song that she could play with her eyes closed. Everything in the piano room was coated with a layer of gold by the sunlight, making this long-lost kiss seem like a dream.

　　The discordant piano music dissipated in the air. Shen Liangyue leaned on He Mingfeng's broad chest in frustration. He couldn't even refuse a kiss. He was very disappointed in himself and even more confused about this relationship.

　　They sat side by side on the piano bench. He Mingfeng stroked the thin back of the person in his arms comfortingly and said softly, "Liangyue, don't be angry with me. I came here today to say goodbye to you. I just received an order this morning that the Hurricane Corps will probably leave the Imperial Star for a while."

　　Shen Liangyue's heart ached. He wanted to pretend that he didn't care, but he couldn't help asking, "How long will it take?"

　　"A secret mission, and the return date is uncertain." He took Shen Liangyue's hand, kissed the beautiful fingers that he wanted to kiss when he was flipping through the music score just now, and murmured, "I will miss you very much."

　　The sudden separation made Shen Liangyue unable to say no. They just leaned against each other quietly in the sun, secretly and greedily breathing in each other's scent, their hearts were calm and throbbing, with a subtle feeling that was beyond words.

　　"Mingfeng," the sun was setting in the west, and it seemed that dusk had arrived in the blink of an eye. Shen Liangyue sighed deeply, and his face looked even more plump and smooth in the dim twilight. "Sometimes I wonder, if I only treat you as a brother and you only treat me as a brother, would we both be happier?"

　　"No one would kiss their brother." He Mingfeng rubbed Shen Liangyue's lower lip with his thumb, looked at him deeply and said, "Give me a little more time, Liangyue, and I will tell you the answer when I come back."

　　He Mingfeng set off overnight. The military car picked him up at the gate of the Duke's Mansion and headed directly to the border. Shen Liangyue looked at the gradually disappearing car lights, feeling empty in her heart, as if half of her soul had been taken away by him.
