A Modern Love [mxm] [✔]

Chapter 10

Wei was waiting, Yunlan was late this morning, had he changed his mind?

Yunlan entered and looked around, saw him and walked towards him with a smile, and Wei sighed relieved.

"I got you your coffee, I hope it’s not cold yet."

"Thank you. My bad, I’m late."

Yunlan sat down and looked at him. Wei wasn’t just beautiful, he was everything he wasn’t.

Yunlan never thought that he was stupid but he knew he wasn’t an educated man, and honestly never really wanted to be one. Until now.

His beautiful professor was not only educated, he was also elegant, neat, mature and responsible, while he was a mess and he knew that, he thought of himself as a child in a grown-up body, a lazy kid, he would be fine wearing the same thing every day, and usually waited until he had nothing more to wear before taking his wardrobe to the cleaners, a bit expensive maybe but this way he didn't have to wash, dry, fold and iron anything.

The only thing he was good at was drinking or repairing things.
WeiLin had made it look easy, but what could he say. Ehi, anything broken at home?

~~~~~

Wei wondered why was it so much easier to talk to him online, and so difficult when face to face...

For a few seconds there was an awkward silence, Wei waiting for him to say something, Yunlan not knowing what to say, especially considering that he was having some difficulty thinking at anything else but what had happened at his place, which was the reason why he said, "About yesterday..." as he looked hungrily at him.
"I'd like to see you again... out of here."

Wei had thought of what to do in the event Yunlan made advances like that - they were both adults and they both knew what that statement meant - so he kept his composure and thought of his answer.

‘I don’t think it’s a good idea’ was not a nice thing to say, but he could propose going somewhere public, and that was what he had planned to do, so he was quite surprised when he heard "What about my place?" in his own voice.

"Yeah, I’d like that."

"Tonight?" Was this his own voice again? That wasn’t the plan, but when he had thought about it he had been alone, now he was looking at that sinful mouth and couldn’t really control his words.

So before he could get back to his senses, they had already planned to meet that evening after Yunlan closed the shop, he would drive to the university to pick him up and then go together.

~~~~~

Wei lived close to work, so he had planned to walk home and prepare everything before Yunlan showed up, but today of all days many students seemed to have questions on their essays, so he didn’t have time.

After closing time, Yunlan changed out of his working clothes and went to meet Shen Wei.

He was so looking forward to it, would this be THE night? He felt a bit guilty towards WeiLin and the promise he made to her, but he really couldn’t control his thoughts when it came to the beautiful professor.

He licked his lips thinking at those hands caressing his skin, and those long fingers... he wanted to feel them and much more, if he had a say in it.

The professor was there waiting for him, got in as soon as he stopped the car, and in no time they reached their destination. Wei told him where to go and where to park the car, then lead the way to his apartment.

As they got in, Wei put his bag down and took off his jacket, then gestured towards the living room where Yunlan could wait for him, all this without directly looking at his eyes.

"I’m sorry but I didn’t have time to prepare anything, if you don’t mind waiting I’ll make something now."
With that, he disappeared into the kitchen.

Yunlan paced around a bit, curiously looking around. The place was rather what he imagined, it was neat, classic, full of books.

There was also an angry black cat, looking reproachfully at him as if knowing that it was his fault if he had been ignored and still hadn’t received its due.

Yunlan smiled thinking fondly that WeiLin also had a cat, then looked at the hungry cat.

"Ehi, where do you keep your cat food?" he asked, appearing behind Wei all of a sudden, startling him.

Wei exclaimed “DaQing!” and hurried to get some food on its bowl and bring it to the angry cat.

"I’m sorry DaQing, it won’t happen again," he said before putting the bowl down.

Wei kept looking at the cat as if waiting to see if he was forgiven, but DaQing turned its back on him and started eating.

Wei sighed before going back to the kitchen, but stopped when he saw Yunlan giggling.

"What is it?" he asked but Yunlan didn’t answer; he only waved his hand in a ‘doesn’t matter’ gesture, thinking how cute Wei was, serving his cat as if it was his master.

Wei washed his hands and turned again to the preparation of a meal for them, when Yunlan asked him, “What is that big box over there?”

Wei looked in the direction he pointed at.

"Oh that... it was supposed to be a bookshelf, but I never got around to put it together, so instead I keep the rest of my books at the university."

Actually he had bought it out of impulse and hadn't known how to put it together... so he had left it there, telling himself that he would do it another time.

"Want me to help you with that?"

"There’s no need to, you don’t have to do it..."

"I have nothing to do, besides it won’t take long, let me get my toolbox." He went to his car and came back with it.

While cooking, Wei could hear the noises from the other room indicating that he was working on it. Wei worked quickly to make something fast and brought it to the table.

Then he looked at Yunlan to let him know that it was ready, only to see that he had taken off his jacket and shirt, so not to ruin them, and was wearing only his undershirt now. He could see his broad shoulders, his muscular arms, watching him while he worked was just “so hot...”

Yunlan heard that and turned to look at him. They locked eyes and moved towards each other at the same time, as if answering to an unspoken command.
