Sex and love, anger and pride [mxm] [✔]

Chapter 4

Two days had gone by.
Yesterday Yunlan had looked at his phone every five minutes, but Wei hadn't called, and today was almost over and still no calls, no texts.

Yunlan looked at his phone for the nth time that day, and sighed seeing that nothing had arrived.
The intensity of his longing suddenly dawned on him, why was he thinking about him so much, was he desperate for sex or for Shen Wei?

He had never felt this longing before. Work was his life and from time to time he would hook up with someone for a bit of fun, but the next day he would be back to normal and put it out of his mind.

Since he had seen Wei the other night, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about him, not even for a minute.

Was he already falling for him? Was love what he craved so much, what had been missing from his life?

What did Wei think of him? Yunlan's mind played back the last moments before he exited his house.

Yunlan had turned in his bed hoping to find him there and bask in his warmth, only waking up completely after finding himself alone in there.

But Wei was already dressed and ready to leave, no sweet words or romantic gazes from him, it had been just sex and Wei seemed fine with it.
"But he left me his number." Yunlan told himself. "He wanted to see me again, I'm sure he will call as soon as he's free."

He wondered about Wei's life, feeling like he wanted to know more about him, like he wanted to know everything there was to know.

He sighed again, these weren't the kind of feelings associated with a story based solely on sex, he had to admit it to himself. "My heart wants him just as much as my ass."
Maybe they had a chance to be something more, Wei liked him after all, and there was always the possibility that Yunlan might succeed in making him fall in love with him.

"Only if he really calls me." He thought after another look at his phone.

It was time to go home, and he gathered his things. He went out and walked towards the bench to patiently wait for the bus.
Suddenly his phone beeped. It was already in his hand and he immediately opened the text.
>Are you free tonight? I know it's late to call, if you have other plans we can reschedule for another time

As he read it, Yunlan bolted up and frantically signalled for a taxi to stop.

Shen Wei was done for tonight; the boss told him, after he tactfully inquired if he needed anything else, that he could go home.

Actually his words had been: "What? I didn't call you, what does that tell you? Go away, I don't need you tonight." But Wei was used to his attitude and it didn't bother him at all.

How could it, he was actually overjoyed by that answer. He went to change but first he texted Yunlan. He wrote 'are you free tonight?' then he wondered if it was too pretentious to expect that he would be there just waiting for his call, it was late after all and maybe he had already made plans for the night... he added the rest of the message and pressed sent.

He began wondering if he sounded too needy or too oppressing with those last words, but he wasn't left in his doubts for long because the answer was fast.
>Free!

Yunlan sent a quick reply - this time he didn't care if he sounded as needy as he was - before turning his attention back to finding a taxi. He saw one slowing down and almost jumped on his feet, but then he realised that it was stopping for a woman he hadn't even noticed.

Maybe she saw the disappointment on his face, because she stopped with the door open and said, speaking to him: "Are you in a hurry? I can wait for the next one if..."
