I Woke Up and Got Married Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Chi Suinian turned his face away. “Put on some clothes before you speak.”

Lu Zhiyue chuckled. “Haven’t you seen it all before? What’s there to be shy about?”

“Bullshit.” Chi Suinian frowned. That night, he had been too drunk to see anything clearly.

Even if he had seen, there was nothing to be shy about.

It wasn’t like he didn’t have one himself.

“What do you want from me?” Lu Zhiyue grabbed a towel and casually wiped his hair. “Come in and talk.”

Chi Suinian gritted his teeth and walked inside with his head down.

Just as he reached the foot of the bed, he heard a soft click—Lu Zhiyue had shut the door.

Chi Suinian turned back. “Why did you close the door?

Lu Zhiyue laughed. “Don’t be nervous. It’s quieter with the door shut—easier to talk.”

Chi Suinian blurted out, “…Why would I be nervous?”

“Mhm.” Lu Zhiyue chuckled and patted the spot beside him on the bed. “Then sit down and talk?”

The room was enclosed, the curtains were drawn, and the air was thick with the scent of pinewood. The owner of the room was still undressed.

Clearly, Chi Suinian had come to discuss serious matters with Lu Zhiyue, but the atmosphere in the room was inexplicably laced with a strange ambiguity.

Images that shouldn’t have appeared kept popping into his head.

One after another.

His gaze kept involuntarily drifting to Lu Zhiyue’s collarbone.

With a stiff neck, Chi Suinian walked over and sat down on the far side of the bed.

Lu Zhiyue looked at the man sitting nearly two meters away from him. After waiting for a while with no words spoken, he held back his laughter and asked, “What do you want to ask me?”

“My bank card password,” Chi Suinian said bluntly. “Do you know it?”

Lu Zhiyue asked, “Which card?”

“Jincheng Bank.”

“Mhm, I know it.”

Chi Suinian’s first reaction wasn’t relief but shock. He looked at Lu Zhiyue in disbelief. “Why would you know it?”

“You told me yourself.” Lu Zhiyue smiled, his voice soft. “When we first got married, you trusted me completely. Since you have a weak memory for numbers, you made a backup with me. I have the passwords for nearly all your bank cards.”

Even though Chi Suinian had mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Lu Zhiyue knew his passwords, hearing it confirmed still left him momentarily stunned.

—How much had he liked Lu Zhiyue before? To the point of handing over his entire fortune?

But that was in the past. Now, things were tense between them. To get the password from this man, knowing his nature, it wouldn’t be easy. He would definitely have to pay a price.

“What do I have to do for you to give it to me?” Chi Suinian asked.

“Hm?”

“Don’t play dumb.” Chi Suinian’s expression was blank. “What will it take for you to hand over the password?”

Lu Zhiyue lowered his gaze as if thinking.

Chi Suinian sat up straight, waiting. If Lu Zhiyue asked for too much, he’d still have to buy back those important passwords. Worst case, he’d sell his car—he hadn’t been driving much anyway.

It was his own fault for losing his memory and forgetting everything—what should be forgotten and what shouldn’t.

No one else was to blame.

“Ever since you lost your memory…” Lu Zhiyue’s voice came, and Chi Suinian subconsciously clenched his fists, waiting for the outrageous demand to come.

“You’ve been a lot colder to me.” Lu Zhiyue turned to look at him, smiling. “So, why don’t you give me a kiss? Consider it a thank-you gift for keeping your passwords safe.

“…” Chi Suinian sat still, staring at him.

He had really been blind to think Lu Zhiyue would be generous. In the end, everything still revolved around lust.

Lu Zhiyue asked, “What do you think?”

Nothing.

Chi Suinian’s face darkened. He snapped, “Do you think that’s possible?”

“Don’t get mad.” Lu Zhiyue smiled warmly. “I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Chi Suinian’s lips curled into a cold smirk. “Then spit it out.”

“I can give you the password directly,” Lu Zhiyue straightened up, casually adjusting his bathrobe, and continued leisurely, “I don’t need you to kiss or hug me.”

“But you have to agree to three conditions.”

Chi Suinian looked at him warily, instinctively feeling that these three conditions wouldn’t be easy to accept.

But he was still curious to see what kind of nonsense Lu Zhiyue would come up with.

Lu Zhiyue paused for a moment, probably because he noticed Chi Suinian wasn’t rejecting outright. He chuckled lightly and continued, “These three conditions are simple. First, I want to move back into the master bedroom and live with you.”

Chi Suinian’s face darkened immediately. “Keep dreaming.”

Lu Zhiyue didn’t mind the rejection and continued, “Second, since we’re married, we should fulfill each other’s needs. I’m not asking for much—five or six times a week will do.”

Chi Suinian: “???”

“And third…”

Chi Suinian’s expression twisted in anger. Forget the third condition—he couldn’t even accept the first two.

He could barely tolerate Lu Zhiyue moving into the master bedroom—at worst, he’d just treat him like an extra breathing pillow.

But fulfilling each other’s needs? He’d rather die.

Five or six times a week? There were only seven days in a week! Even a work schedule wasn’t this packed. Was Lu Zhiyue a pig?

Chi Suinian’s face shifted through several shades of emotion. He gritted his teeth and said, “Just say you don’t want to give it to me. Is messing with me fun?”

“I’m not messing with you.” Lu Zhiyue looked at him seriously. “This is my carefully thought-out decision.”

“And I haven’t even mentioned the third condition.”

To hell with the third condition—he wasn’t agreeing to a single one. “Get lost!”

Since negotiations had broken down, Chi Suinian just wanted to leave. If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to resist punching Lu Zhiyue in the face.

“Can’t do it?” Lu Zhiyue raised an eyebrow. “Then just give me a kiss.”

Chi Suinian: “…”

Damn it.

Compared to those three impossible conditions, “give me a kiss” suddenly didn’t sound so unbearable.

Just a kiss.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t done it before.

A quick peck, then it’d be over.

Much better than sharing a bed or fulfilling any other needs.

Lu Zhiyue watched Chi Suinian’s changing expression, his lips subtly curling. Afraid of giving himself away, he quickly pressed his smile back down.

“Decided yet?” Lu Zhiyue stretched lazily. “I’m getting sleepy.”

Chi Suinian was internally struggling. He had sacrificed too much for this damn company.

He stood up furiously, but his ears were bright red.

“You’re going to kiss me?” Lu Zhiyue smiled.

“Shut up.” Chi Suinian’s temples throbbed at the mere mention of the word “kiss.” “If you dare mess with me, I’ll make sure you’re six feet under by tomorrow.”

Lu Zhiyue said sincerely, “I won’t. I always keep my word.”

Bullshit.

“Then… how do you want to do it?” Lu Zhiyue glanced at the bed. “Should I sit or lie down? Sofa or bed? Can I hold your waist?”

“If you move a muscle, I’ll break your damn hands!” Chi Suinian threatened through clenched teeth.

Lu Zhiyue chuckled but obediently sat still.

Chi Suinian hesitated, then ordered, “Close your eyes.”

Lu Zhiyue smiled. “Not even allowed to look? You’re not going to fake it with something else, are you?”

“You think everyone’s as shameless as you?” Chi Suinian scowled. “Close them or not?”

“Alright, alright…”

Lu Zhiyue closed his eyes. His other senses sharpened.

Then, a soft, fleeting touch landed on his cheek.

Like a feather brushing past.

Lu Zhiyue momentarily forgot to breathe.

By the time he opened his eyes, Chi Suinian had already retreated, glaring at him with flushed cheeks. “Send me the password—one minute late, and you’re dead.”

Then, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

Lu Zhiyue touched his cheek and grinned uncontrollably.

He was so pleased he almost laughed out loud.

.

Here’s the translation of the passage you provided:

---

“Dammit!” Chi Suinian threw himself onto the bed as soon as he entered the room, rolling around in the blanket.

But he still couldn’t shake off the humiliation.

He kissed Lu Zhiyue…

He kissed Lu Zhiyue…

He actually kissed Lu Zhiyue…

His lips tingled slightly, and the sensation of the skin against his lips still lingered.

Chi Suinian clicked his tongue in frustration, turned over, and ran to the bathroom. He splashed his face with cold water and looked at his lips in the mirror, rubbing them.

His hand was so strong that his lips turned red, making them look even more like they’d been kissed.

“…”

Chi Suinian was so angry that he couldn’t say anything. He closed his eyes and jumped into the bathtub to calm down.

Water could help him cool down.

He hoped he could forget what had just happened after a while.

After his bath, Chi Suinian did feel much calmer. He wore a bathrobe, didn’t dry his hair, and walked to the bedside to pick up his phone.

There were no unread messages.

Lu Zhiyue dared to mess with him?

Chi Suinian kicked open the guest bedroom door. “Lu Zhiyue, you motherfucker…”

His words trailed off.

Beside the bed, Lu Zhiyue had just removed his bath towel, his body slightly bent, fingers picking up a small piece of cloth.

“…”

“…”

Lu Zhiyue froze for a few seconds, quickly put on his underwear, wrapped himself in his robe, and said, “What’s wrong?”

Chi Suinian angrily demanded, “Where’s the password?!”

Lu Zhiyue looked at him suspiciously. “I sent it to you, didn’t you get it?”

“You sent my ass! How dare you lie to me!” Chi Suinian was furious, clenched his fist, and swung it toward Lu Zhiyue’s face.

—Then it was caught by Lu Zhiyue.

He raised his other hand.

And that was also caught by Lu Zhiyue.

Chi Suinian: “…”

He couldn’t even beat Lu Zhiyue now?

“I should explain, right?” Lu Zhiyue said with a headache. “Why are you starting with violence?”

Chi Suinian twisted his wrist. “You liar, it’s too kind to just hit you. Let go of me!”

“First, let’s clarify things.” Lu Zhiyue still held his wrist. It didn’t seem like he was using much strength, but Chi Suinian couldn’t break free.

Lu Zhiyue said, “I already sent you the file. Didn’t you get it?”

“Whether you sent it or not, you know it yourself.”

Lu Zhiyue looked at him. “Calm down first. I really did send it. You can check my computer if you don’t believe me.”

Lu Zhiyue pulled him to the low table by the bed.

There was a laptop on it, and a WeChat window was open, showing that a file had been sent to [Nian Nian] twenty minutes ago.

But aside from that, there was a small line of text.

[Message sent but rejected by the recipient.]

Chi Suinian: “…”

He’d forgotten.

He had blocked Lu Zhiyue a long time ago.

Lu Zhiyue: “Haven’t you taken me off your blacklist yet?”

He had been so absorbed in the joy of being kissed that after hurriedly sending the file, he went into the bathroom to cool down without checking if it had actually been sent.

He hadn’t expected to still be quietly sitting in Chi Suinian’s blacklist.

Chi Suinian withdrew his hands and took a step back, maintaining his distance. “You couldn’t have sent it by another channel?”

Lu Zhiyue: “Like?”

Like…

Chi Suinian blinked, unable to think of any alternatives. For work-related communication, there were other ways to contact him, but he had just woken up, and the only app working on his phone was WeChat.

The rest, either he forgot the passwords, or they hadn’t been downloaded back yet.

Tch.

Lu Zhiyue probably… could only use this one method to send him the file.

“Figured it out?” Lu Zhiyue closed the laptop and looked at Chi Suinian leisurely. “Did I lie to you?”

Chi Suinian turned his head away, his tone slightly awkward. “You’d better not lie to me again.”

“I’ve said it.” Lu Zhiyue said softly, “I’ll lie to you only once in this lifetime.”

Saying things like this.

Why was this person talking about a lifetime?

Chi Suinian pulled Lu Zhiyue off the blacklist. “I’ll go back first. You send me the file again.”

Lu Zhiyue grabbed his arm. “Wait.”

“What?”

“Does your leg hurt?” Lu Zhiyue lowered his gaze. “My door’s pretty good, and yet you kicked it open with one foot. Is your leg okay?”

Chi Suinian glanced at the flimsy door, sneering in his heart. This was considered good quality? His kick nearly broke it. Lu Zhiyue must have been tricked.

“I’ll pay you for a new door tomorrow.” Chi Suinian waved his hand and went back to the master bedroom.

As soon as the door closed, he heard Uncle Zhang’s terrified voice from outside the hallway. “This… Mr. Lu, how did the door break?”

“It’s fine.” Lu Zhiyue’s voice. “The wind blew it. I’ll get someone to fix it tomorrow.”

“What wind? It’s summer…” Uncle Zhang muttered suspiciously, then said, “Okay.”

What wind.

The door panel was just poorly made.

Chi Suinian opened his phone and clicked on the file Lu Zhiyue had just sent.

As expected, just like Lu Zhiyue said, the folder contained all his bank card passwords, including online banking payment passwords, certificate passwords, withdrawal passwords… as well as the bank information.

The file was organized by bank name, spanning dozens of pages.

This very detailed document not only showed that he had substantial wealth but also indicated that a year ago, he was a top-tier love fool.

His family’s fortune had almost been emptied out.

Chi Suinian couldn’t bear to look at it. He quickly clicked the exit button and forwarded the file to Qin Suitian for handling.

One more look, and he’d end up mocking himself for being a fool.

His phone suddenly vibrated.

[Lu Dog: .]

[Chi: ?]

[Lu Dog: Nothing, I was just checking if I’m still on your blacklist.]

[Lu Dog: It’s fine if I’m not. Go to sleep. Good night.]

[Chi: ……]

Chi Suinian glared at the screen with a fierce expression. A few seconds later, he threw his phone aside and buried his head into the bed.

If he replied to Lu Zhiyue, he’d be a dog.

·

The next day, Chi Suinian still hadn’t received a reply from Qin Suitian. His calls went unanswered.

Qin Suitian, as Chi’s right-hand man, never disconnected his phone.

Chi Suinian was a little worried. He called one of his colleagues, and the other person, probably unused to receiving calls from the boss, sounded flattered. “Boss?”

Chi Suinian hummed and asked, “Is Manager Qin in the office?”

“No,” the person replied. “HR said he took a leave of absence. Something happened at home, I think.”

“Got it.”

Chi Suinian hung up the phone and decided to go to the office himself to check that the funds were in place, then head over to the Qin family.

In his memory, Qin Suitian was a workaholic with no emotions. His parents had always lived abroad, and he had no siblings. All his passion seemed to be poured into his career.

For him to be so flustered and leave the company behind, something major must have happened at home.

·

The weather in Jin City wasn’t great today. The sky was overcast, and it looked like it might rain any minute.

Chi Suinian opened the curtains to let some light in, quickly washed up, and changed into more formal clothes before heading out.

Just as he opened the door, he ran into Lu Zhiyue, who had also just come out of his room, and they opened their doors at almost the same time.

“Morning.” Lu Zhiyue smiled at him.

After a night, the awkwardness from the previous evening had disappeared. Chi Suinian glanced at him indifferently and then coldly turned to head downstairs.

Lu Zhiyue was stunned for a moment, then helplessly shook his head.

At breakfast, the rain finally started pouring down, the torrential rain hammering down heavily, even making the glass windows outside fog up.

Chi Suinian took a bite of the egg and suddenly thought about his travel plans for the day.

—How was he going to get out?

His car was still in the garage at his old home, and there were none here. The upscale villa area made it hard to get a cab, and it was still raining…

Was the weather really trying to mess with him?

When he looked up, Lu Zhiyue was sitting by the window on the phone.

“Yeah, keep the samples. I’ll check them personally… Gather the person in charge and employees for a meeting… I’ll be there in two hours… Yeah, that’s it.”

Lu Zhiyue hung up the phone and looked at Chi Suinian across from him. “Something up?”

“Are you going out?” Chi Suinian asked.

“Yeah.”

“Can I hitch a ride?”

Lu Zhiyue froze for a moment, then smiled faintly. “I’m afraid not.”

Chi Suinian sneered, but before he could speak, Lu Zhiyue explained:

“There’s a problem at one of the factories under the company. I need to go check it out. The address is in the outskirts of Jin City, so it’s not on the way.”

“Oh…” Chi Suinian’s rising anger didn’t dissipate right away but slowly calmed down.

He took another sip of soy milk and said, “I need to go out. Lend me a car. You can set the price.”

Lu Zhiyue paused, his gaze meaningfully lingering on him. “Set the price?”

Chi Suinian’s eyebrows twitched.

“Then I want you to kiss me again.”

Just as Aunt Chen, who had just stepped out with breakfast, almost tripped at the door, awkwardly unsure whether to enter or retreat.

She decided to stand frozen in place.

“…………”

“Snap—”

Chi Suinian snapped his chopsticks in half.

·

At 8 o’clock, the rain got heavier.

Chi Suinian glared at the lonely figure on the ride-sharing app with an ugly expression.

What kind of lousy app was this?

Couldn’t even find a car.

Lu Zhiyue was already ready, putting on his coat and heading out.

“Mr. Lu, the car is ready.” Lin Qi stood outside the door respectfully.

Lu Zhiyue nodded, handing over his laptop to Lin Qi. “Wait for me in the car.”

Lin Qi took it. “Got it.”

“This place is hard to get a cab.” Lu Zhiyue stepped into the living room, knowing without looking at the screen what Chi Suinian was doing.

“You don’t need to worry about it.”

Chi Suinian turned his back to Lu Zhiyue, still staring at the app screen.

Lu Zhiyue took a key from the drawer and placed it on the table, speaking in a teasing tone: “I have a Porsche 918 in my garage, just got it last month, haven’t driven it yet. Want it?”

Chi Suinian blinked: “…”

“Limited edition, just landed. Don’t know how it performs.”

Chi Suinian’s neck stiffened: “…”

“It’s a shame.” Lu Zhiyue clicked his tongue. “No one to drive it.”

Chi Suinian pursed his lips: “…”

Lu Zhiyue noticed his movement and smiled, casually putting the key back in place.

At the same time, he saw a head quietly move nearby.

Lu Zhiyue clicked his tongue. “Really don’t want it?”

The young man on the sofa didn’t move.

Lu Zhiyue: “Then I’ll have someone drive it away…”

In the next second, Chi Suinian jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the key in his hand, and said arrogantly, “If you don’t know how to drive, why buy it? Let it sit in the garage and collect dust? Such a waste.”

Lu Zhiyue laughed, his eyes full of meaning. “You’ve thought about it?”

Chi Suinian froze for a moment, suddenly feeling like the key was burning his hands.

But this model was his dream car. He’d heard the official announcement about it a year ago, but it hadn’t been released until now. Finally seeing it in Lu Zhiyue’s hands, he really couldn’t bear to part with it.

He’d even claimed in front of Tang Jin and Lu Heng back then, “If I can get one, I’ll sleep in the damn car.”

Now that the car was here, yet he didn’t have a chance to lie in it.

He just had to sell his face and kiss his archrival.

…

 

Is there anything more speechless than this?

No, there isn’t.

There’s no second thing in the world like it.

Chi Suinian gripped the key and bargained, “I want to keep it for a week.”

“I’ll give you a month,” Lu Zhiyue said generously.

Chi Suinian pressed his lips together and decided to go for it.

First time is unfamiliar, second time is familiar.

He lightly stood on tiptoe, tilted his head back, raised his hand to cover Lu Zhiyue’s eyes, and kissed him lightly on his sharply contoured chin.

A brief kiss, but after it, Young Master Chi’s face was no longer pleasant. “You better keep your word, or I’ll smash it.”

Lu Zhiyue’s Adam’s apple moved, holding back, “Would you dare?”

Indeed, he couldn’t bear to do it.

Chi Suinian, holding the key, ran out the door, forgetting to argue with Lu Zhiyue.

“Be careful, come back early,” Lu Zhiyue said.

Chi Suinian disappeared outside.

Uncle Zhang suddenly appeared from somewhere and cleared his throat, concerned. “Mr. Lu, it’s raining so heavily outside, and Mr. Chi has just recovered from a serious illness. Isn’t it unsafe for him to drive?”

Lu Zhiyue glanced outside at the dark clouds. “It’s fine, the rain will stop soon.”

Uncle Zhang looked up and indeed saw a ray of sunshine breaking through the sky.

He quickly took out his phone.

[Yellow weather warning for travel, rain expected between 6 and 8 AM.]

·

Chi Suinian found the Porsche 918 in the garage. Its appearance was beautiful and noble, and the interior was uniquely designed. He admired it for a while before impatiently driving out.

He thought he’d be walking in the rain, but as soon as he left, the rain stopped.

Driving in the rain is dangerous, and Chi Suinian hadn’t driven for a long time. He was originally a little nervous, but now, with no concerns, he drove carefree.

The Porsche emitted a pleasing roar, speeding through the mountains like lightning cutting through the forest.

Chi Suinian arrived at the company before 9 AM, where his former assistant was already waiting at the door.

“Mr. Chi.”

Chi Suinian parked in his designated spot, got out of the car, and headed straight for Qin Suitian’s office.

The materials were all ready, and with the injection of funds, the project could proceed smoothly. Chi Suinian read the plan and found no issues, so he signed off and transferred the money.

Though the work wasn’t much, it was already almost time to leave. If not for his assistant reminding him to eat dinner, Chi Suinian would’ve stayed in the office.

Assistant: “Mr. Chi, there’s pork ribs and fish for dinner in the cafeteria. Would you like me to bring you a portion?”

The work was tedious, and Chi Suinian yawned. He was only thinking about getting Qin Suitian back to work. He lazily stood up and said, “I’m not eating. I’m leaving. You can go home too.”

Assistant: “Goodbye, Mr. Chi.”

This wasn’t the first time Chi Suinian came to Qin Suitian house, so he knew the way.

Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened with a “ka” sound.

“Qin, you bastard, how dare you touch me! You tricked me into drinking, you have ulterior motives! You’re a scoundrel pretending to be a general manager!” A series of smashing and crashing noises followed.

“Get out of here! Don’t let me see you again, or we’ll both go down together!”

The usually composed and elite Qin Suitian was now disheveled, with messy hair and a bathrobe hanging loosely. He was barefoot, one slipper missing, as he hurriedly fended off two pillows thrown at him, which forced him out of the room.

He then bumped into Chi Suinian, who was caught off guard.

“…”

“…”

Qin Suitian, standing barefoot on the floor, with handprints on his face, looking utterly disheveled, said in surprise, “What are you doing here?”

Chi Suinian glanced at the chaotic room and then at Qin Suitian’s disarrayed appearance, raising an eyebrow. “Is this what you meant by having things going on at home?”

Qin Suitian: “…”

His face turned red.

From inside, angry yelling could still be heard, a young voice full of frustration.

It sounded like the voice of someone young but with a big temper, completely different from the cunning, calculating Qin Suitian.

Chi Suinian looked at Qin Suitian: “Unwilling?”

“…”

Qin Suitian’s lips twitched. “He’s my boyfriend, not some random person I found outside.”

Chi Suinian looked at him skeptically: “Is he of legal age?”

“…” Qin Suitian froze, “What are you saying? He’s almost graduating from university.”

So it’s an older man with a younger partner.

But since this was a private matter of the employee, Chi Suinian never interfered. As long as it wasn’t illegal, he just asked quietly, “Will it affect work?”

“No.”

“Okay.” Chi Suinian turned to leave. “Then continue.”

“… You’re leaving just like that?” Qin Suitian called out from behind. “What do you want from me?”

Chi Suinian waved his hand without turning around as he entered the elevator.

Qin Suitian stood there for a moment before realizing, then holding a pillow and slippers, he squeezed back into the room. “Ancestor, can you stop causing trouble? I can explain.”

“Explain what?” The young voice yelled, “You’re a scumbag! You said the wine had no alcohol, you tricked me into drinking, and then you took me to bed. You’re a complete bastard!”

Qin Suitian, who handled billions in business with ease, was now at a loss for words. “Can you just calm down? Let’s talk about it properly.”

“Who wants to talk to you? Get away!”

Another round of crashing sounds came from inside.

·

Chi Suinian returned home under the evening glow, parked the car, and checked it thoroughly. After confirming there was no damage, he felt better and pushed the door open to enter.

However, as he stood in front of the door and tried to push it open, it didn’t budge.

He rang the doorbell, but it didn’t sound.

Chi Suinian: “???”

Where are the Lu family members?

He patiently pressed the doorbell two more times.

The door didn’t open, and Lu Zhiyue returned inside.

He squinted at the doorbell.

Could this be some kind of weird summoning spell?

“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhiyue got out of the car.

“Your door is broken.” Chi Suinian frowned.

Lu Zhiyue didn’t expect to get a complaint about the door and almost laughed, but seeing Chi Suinian’s expression, he held it back.

“Is there no one home?” Lu Zhiyue knocked on the door with his finger.

Chi Suinian, tired after a long day, leaned against the stone pillar by the door and didn’t feel like talking.

Lu Zhiyue knocked on the door, but no one answered.

“Where’s the key?” Chi Suinian nudged him with his foot.

“Well, I have it…” Lu Zhiyue hesitated, then thought to himself, maybe he should switch to a fingerprint lock next time. But this brief pause gave Chi Suinian other ideas.

From last night till now, Lu Zhiyue had tricked him into kissing him repeatedly.

Every time, with this same expression.

Chi Suinian was exhausted and just wanted to lie on the bed to sleep. So without thinking, he placed his hand on Lu Zhiyue’s shoulder and reluctantly, as if familiar with the motion, kissed him on the cheek again. “Is this enough? Can you open the door now?”

“…”

Lu Zhiyue froze for a moment.

Chi Suinian saw that he didn’t move and frowned in irritation.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Zhiyue pulled a key from his pocket and unlocked the door. “You didn’t have to kiss me for this.”

“…”

Then why the hell didn’t you say so earlier?!

Chi Suinian’s face turned red, and he shoved Lu Zhiyue aside. “Get lost!”

Lu Zhiyue’s throat tightened. “Don’t be angry, or I’ll return the favor?”

“…”

Are you serious?
