rough tenderness

Chapter 7

Chu Qiubai was inexplicably flustered, he couldn't even breathe steadily, and he stammered, "You...you're back..."

The housekeeper took over the folder, Yu Wen changed his shoes, and hummed absently.

Chu Qiubai followed behind him at a loss, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Yu Wen turned to look at him, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Chu Qiubai shook his head, then nodded again, nervously, "Eat... eat some snacks..."

Yu Wen stared at his face, "I'll go up and take a shower, and have lunch with me later."

Chu Qiubai felt very at a loss, but his gaze seemed to be drawn, and he couldn't move away from Yu Wen's deep eyes. The eyes of the two were inexplicably stuck together for a while, one was deep and fiery, and the other was nervous and bewildered.

When the water flowed slowly over his body, what appeared in Yu Wen's mind was Chu Qiubai's face just now. I don't know if it was because of nervousness or something else, that fair face turned pink, His eyes were watery, and he didn't know whether he was flustered or nervous.

In fact, strictly speaking, this face is not very outstanding, and there is still a considerable gap between it and a "beautiful man".Subjectively speaking, it’s just that the combination of facial features makes people feel very comfortable. After one glance, I can’t help but want to take another look. The more I look at it, the more itchy I feel, and I want to press those two thin light-colored lips fiercely. Kissing, wanting to kiss those bright eyes, wanting to touch that fair and smooth face, wanting to bite those tiny ears... Yu Wen's breathing gradually became quicker, and the image of Chu Qiubai's fairness appeared in his mind. With a thin body, his right hand gradually slid down, holding that unspeakable part.When the gasps were released, Yu Wen was filled with bitter despair.

Yu Wen changed into loose home clothes and went downstairs, the innocent man was sitting on the sofa staring at the coffee cup in his hand.

"What do you think?"

Chu Qiubai was startled by the voice, hurriedly put the coffee cup back on the table, and shook his head wildly.

Yu Wen tensed his body, exhaled slowly, and said, "Come over for dinner."

Eating face to face with that dull man was also a torment.

Yu Wen tried his best to restrain himself, forcing himself not to stare at Chu Qiubai's thin lips like a dissatisfied animal, but all his nerves were tied to that man's body, as if the person opposite him was the master of his body.

The man who didn't understand the style was still wandering, obviously absent-minded, staring at the table full of food in a daze.

"...Aren't you hungry?" Yu Wen stared at him.

Chu Qiubai looked up at him in a panic, and shook his head.

"Eat a little even if you're not hungry." Yu Wen picked up some food for him with a sullen face, while Chu Qiubai was apprehensive, "...leave me alone, eat quickly."

After finally finishing lunch, Yu Wen moved to the sofa in the living room to drink coffee, and Chu Qiubai sat opposite him, with a tense look that hesitated to speak.

Yu Wen held his breath, waiting for him to speak.

The useless man really couldn't hold back any longer, he stammered, "That... Yu Wen..."

Yu Wen looked up at him, "Huh?"

"I....I have to go back first..." He added apologetically, "I still have to open the store..."

Yu Wen stared at him for a moment, "...I'll see you off."

Chu Qiubai opened his eyes wide in shock, "No more... You can rest at home... Don't you have to go to work in the afternoon..."

Yu Wen didn't answer him, and ordered the housekeeper to ask the driver to drive the car out.

Chu Qiubai understood in his heart that this meant that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. He lowered his eyes in frustration, with a look of preoccupation.

The road was a bit congested, Yu Wen had long been used to this terrible traffic situation, and there was no expression on his face.On the contrary, it was Chu Qiubai, with an anxious look, stretching his neck from time to time to look at the situation ahead.

Yu Wen turned to look at him, "Are you in a hurry?"

Chu Qiubai shook his head, "No."

"Then what are you in such a hurry for?" Yu Wen kept staring at his face while speaking.

Chu Qiubai bit his lip, "...so blocked...you're going to be late for work this afternoon..."

Yu Wen seemed to find it a little funny, "What does that matter, it's not an important matter."

Chu Qiubai looked at him solemnly, "You are the boss, of course you have to abide by the company's system more, if you are late, you are setting a bad example."

Looking at his expression, Yu Wen wanted to laugh but didn't. He just stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair, "Don't worry about these things, but you, you have not recovered from the cold, so you want to continue working?"

Feeling the subtle touch of the slender fingers on his hair, Chu Qiubai was a little dazed. Although Yu Wen had a bad mouth and occasionally lost his temper for no reason, when he treated him so gently, he would always be at a loss. He didn't know how to deal with himself, and a warm and heartbreaking feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

"What are you thinking?" Yu Wen moved closer to his face.

Chu Qiubai was taken aback, and hurriedly looked away, "...it's nothing."

Yu Wen stared at the base of his ear and sighed silently.

After dawdling on the road for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at Chu Qiubai's shop. Yu Wen didn't stay for a moment, and started the car back to the company.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a man in a suit and leather shoes came to visit. Chu Qiubai was giving change to a guest. When he saw someone coming in from the corner of his eye, he thought it was a guest and said out of habit, "Welcome."

The man strode over and handed over a big box with both hands, "Mr. Chu, this is a gift from our boss."

Chu Qiubai was taken aback by the situation, "...what..."

"Please accept it."

Chu Qiubai took it in confusion, opened it, and found that it was a complete range of cold medicine.

Before he could say anything, the man bowed and strode out.

He stood there blankly, and was about to carefully check if there was a note on the box, when the phone rang.

It was Yu Wen who called, and as soon as he got through, he asked, "Have the medicine been delivered to you?"

"Ah...um..."

"Take it according to the dosage and time, until it is completely cured, do you understand?"

"...um..." Chu Qiubai wanted to say why it was so troublesome, he just had a cold, and he would be fine after a night's sleep, but he knew that if he said this, he would make Yu Wen unhappy again, so he could only keep silent.

No one spoke for a while, only the other person's breathing could be faintly heard.

"...I'm going on a business trip in the evening and won't be back in about a week."

For some reason, Chu Qiubai felt his heart beating very hard, he bit his lip, "Oh...where are you going?"

"Germany."

"...Okay... Then you... have a good trip..."

Yu Wen didn't speak any more, and after a while, the phone was hung up.

Chu Qiubai looked at the gradually darkening phone screen, feeling overwhelmed, a little lost and sad, but he didn't quite know what kind of emotions these were.

Maybe it was because he was really busy. In the next few days, Yu Wen didn't contact Chu Qiubai at all, not a single phone call or text message.

The two of them had this kind of time before, when Yu Wen didn't take the initiative to contact, Chu Qiubai would not bother him, although he would occasionally think of him, but he felt that it was just a kind of friendly, distant relationship with friends. Every time Yu Wen calls and asks him to have dinner together, he will be very happy, and he will start preparing early, but after seeing him, he will be terrified, for fear that he will disappoint Yu Wen if he is not careful.

This time, it should be no different from the past.Chu Qiubai was walking home alone, thinking nonstop.Counting the days, Yu Wen has been away for five days, and he agreed to go on a business trip for a week, so he will probably be back the day after tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Chu Qiubai felt that his mood gradually brightened. When he came back, he would take the initiative to treat him to dinner, thank him for the medicine he gave him, he recovered quickly after taking it, and thank him for making himself unconscious Take care of at home.

Thinking of this, Chu Qiubai felt more and more that Yu Wen was a very caring and rare friend.

For the next two days, Chu Qiubai waited energetically every day, and contacted Yu Wen when he came back.

But on the seventh night, there was still no news from Yu Wen.

Chu Qiubai panicked all of a sudden, and his heart was in a mess.Maybe it's something temporary, Yu Wen hasn't come back yet, maybe it's because I just got home and I'm too tired, I have to make up for the jet lag, I can't care about contacting him, besides, Yu Wen said "about a week", maybe the matter hasn't been dealt with yet finish it.

In this way, Chu Qiubai found a lot of reasons for Yu Wen, he persuaded himself, it's no big deal, Yu Wen has his own life, how can he always demand him according to his own standards.

But even so, he was still panicked, didn't sleep all night, and went to open the shop the next day with dark circles under his eyes.

Sitting at the cash register, but always wandering.A look of despair, a little uncomfortable in my heart, and something is wrong with my whole body.

Anyway, he finally made it through the day, he didn't even know how he got home, and when he got home, he just sat on the sofa and continued to be in a daze.

Holding the phone in his hand, he glanced nervously at the screen from time to time.

But the screen is always black.

It was completely dark outside. He turned off the lights and sat on the sofa with his knees hugged. He was very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy. He felt like a stone was stuck in his chest, and he was flustered with every breath. , very painful.

It was still the same the next day, Chu Qiubai only felt dizzy, his body was too tired, and he was a little drifting when walking.

After spending the whole day in a daze, the moment he closed the store door, he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. He sat on the steps of the door with his hands on his forehead, and his heart ached.
