PLTRSC Chapter 54

 

The lights were off in the room, and no one was talking. The two of them hugged each other, breathing intertwined, quietly feeling each other as the sky outside getting darker and darker.

Jiang Tang felt that his life had never been as peaceful as it was now. He didn’t have to think about anything, and he didn’t have to be afraid of anything.

It was completely dark, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the bustling night view of Wuyuan under the sky.

In the dim light, Lu Yinghuai took Jiang Tang’s hand, touched his fingers one by one, and then interlocked his fingers with his: “Are you scared, Tang Tang?”

The room was not completely dark, filled with the smell of fir and icicles. Perhaps the atmosphere was too ambiguous, Jiang Tang was not as restrained and indifferent as he was used to: “If I said I was scared, what would you do?”

“I would kiss you,” Lu Yinghuai put his hand to his lips and kissed the back of his hand, “Kiss until you no longer use honorifics to me.”

Jiang Tang was glad that it was night, and his blush would not be too obvious.

Lu Yinghuai was so good at teasing.

“What if I’m not afraid?”

“Ah…” Lu Yinghuai dragged out the words lazily, looking at Jiang Tang with his bright eyes, “That’s bad.”

Jiang Tang held his breath and waited for his next words.

“If Tang Tang is not afraid, I have to think of a new way.”

“What way?” Jiang Tang asked.

“A reasonable way to sleep in the same bed with you.”

As they talked, the room became darker. Lu Yinghuai was worried that Jiang Tang was really scared, so he reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. It could be controlled by voice, but Lu Yinghuai insisted on turning on the light manually, as if to show Jiang Tang that he was waiting for Jiang Tang’s reply.

Jiang Tang opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his stomach growled.

A warm hand touched his abdomen.

“Are you hungry?”

In the past seven days, Jiang Tang had not eaten anything except energy bars and some supplements for the estrus period. It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned it, but he felt really hungry as soon as he mentioned it.

He nodded sullenly. Having just finished the permanent mark, Jiang Tang was very dependent on Lu Yinghuai. He was not hypocritical like before and said obediently, “I’m hungry.”

“I called Fang Mu to come and cook. It should be almost done now,” Lu Yinghuai kissed him, “Get up.”

Jiang Tang sat up with his hair messed up from sleep and watched Lu Yinghuai pick out a burgundy silk shirt from the closet in the room.

This color could easily make you look old if you don’t wear it well. Jiang Tang thought about Lu Yinghuai’s usual black, white and gray style of dressing, and couldn’t imagine how he would look in this.

This was indeed not Lu Yinghuai’s style. Lu Yinghuai specially chose it for Jiang Tang to wear – but it is his own size.

“Tang Tang’s clothes haven’t been delivered yet,” Lu Yinghuai lied without blinking. He had prepared new clothes in the cloakroom. The clothes in the previous house were all destroyed. On the day Jiang Tang disappeared, the house was smashed into ruins by Lu Yinghuai’s pheromones. “Wear mine first.”

He just wanted to see Jiang Tang wearing his clothes.

Just as he thought, Jiang Tang had fair skin, which was set off by the burgundy color. The wide sleeves of his shirt were long and were carefully rolled up by Lu Yinghuai, revealing his delicate wrist bones.

The top button of the collar was also fastened, revealing only a section of his tender, white, slender neck.

Lu Yinghuai’s eyes darkened, and he grabbed Jiang Tang’s ankles to put on his underwear.

“This,” Jiang Tang held the edge of the underwear, “wasn’t it delivered?”

Oops.

The lie was exposed on the spot.

Lu Yinghuai was not embarrassed at all, and said calmly: “This is what you wore that night, I washed it.”

Jiang Tang: I really don’t believe that black could be washed into white.

As if seeing through his doubts, Lu Yinghuai said: “It faded, I won’t buy this brand next time.”

“Oh,” Jiang Tang didn’t expose him, “The fading is really serious.”

Lu Yinghuai nodded in agreement: “Tell me about it.”

The pants fitted nicely, Jiang Tang waited for Lu Yinghuai to make up something, but Lu Yinghuai said: “Stretch your left leg.”

Jiang Tang obeyed and kicked it, and after a few seconds, he was stunned. He looked up at Lu Yinghuai and stretched his right foot forward again.

The knees were still weak, but the legs could indeed move!

Jiang Tang let Lu Yinghuai help him fix it in a daze, and tears welled up in his red eyes.

When Lu Yinghuai held his face, the tears that were about to fall finally rolled down, not seeming hypocritical at all, like the morning dew in the deep forest sliding along the veins of the leaves and falling from the tip of the leaves.

“Mr. Lu…” Jiang Tang wanted to calm down, but the surprise in his voice could not be hidden, his voice was choked, and he was obedient and pitiful.

“Baby,” Lu Yinghuai wiped the tears from his face with his fingers, “everything will be fine in the future.”

Jiang Tang avoided Lu Yinghuai’s hand that wanted to hug him: “Can I try walking?”

“Of course.” Lu Yinghuai bent his arm to support Jiang Tang’s hand, “slow down.”

It was less than a month since his leg was injured, but Jiang Tang felt like he didn’t know how to take a step. He raised his left leg, carefully stepped from the tip of his toes to the sole of his foot and then slowly stepped on the ground, clumsy like a child who had just learned to walk.

Lu Yinghuai supported him patiently, without saying a word or urging him.

After walking three or four steps, Jiang Tang’s feet tilted, and Lu Yinghuai quickly supported him.

“No strength…”

“It’s okay, it’s great.” Lu Yinghuai picked him up and walked out.

This was the first time Jiang Tang left the bed in these days. He thought he would see the same dark colors as the previous villa, with various antique ornaments, which were expensive but impersonal.

It was beyond his expectations.

There were few decorations outside, and the wall paint and wallpaper were all off-white. The decoration was simple without messy ornaments, and it was spacious and bright everywhere.

…It seemed to be specially designed for him to move freely in a wheelchair.

“Does the baby like the style here?” Lu Yinghuai asked, “It’s not too complicated. We will add what we need in the future, and change it if we don’t like it.”

This confirmed Jiang Tang’s guess.

The simplicity and spaciousness are to make it easier for him to move, and if his legs can recover in the future… Lu Yinghuai said they can buy some things together.

These were things that Jiang Tang never expected after growing up.

When he still had hope for family affection, Jiang Tang also longed to have some things that he could decide and belonged to him, and no one cared.

Now he doesn’t need to ask, and someone would take the initiative to satisfy him.

House decoration was not something that can be completed tomorrow if it was decided today. At this moment, Jiang Tang believed that Lu Yinghuai truly liked him.

The bedroom was soundproofed, and he only heard the sound from the kitchen downstairs after coming out.

Lu Yinghuai hugged Jiang Tang and didn’t take the stairs, but went straight to the other side of the second floor.

When he reached the end, Jiang Tang found that there was a spiral slide, which was also in the same color scheme as the decoration style, and there was a low-saturation green and yellow fence on the side.

“Are we going down here?” Jiang Tang asked.

“Well,” Lu Yinghuai let him sit on the top of the slide, and then he circled him from behind, “It suits Tang Tang very well.”

There was also a pool under the slide filled with ocean balls of the same color as the fence.

Like a children’s playground.

Li’s mother once took him and Li Hu to the mall to play. Of course, it was Li Hu who went in to play, and he was responsible for watching things on the side.

The facilities in the children’s playground in the town’s shopping mall were very ordinary, and could not be compared with what Jiang Tang had seen before he was abducted, but he still watched Li Hu play around with envy.

When he was a child, he watched Jiang Ziang play. When he grew up, he watched Li Hu play. Gradually, he realized that kind of happiness was not for him, so he stopped expecting it.

Lu Yinghuai seemed to be able to sense all his regrets.

He wanted to say thank you, but before he could say anything, Lu Yinghuai stopped him as if he knew what he was going to say, and changed the subject: “I will try harder so that Tang tang won’t kick me out of this house.”

“How could I…”

“The house belongs to Tang Tang. If I make you angry one day, you can change the password and not let me in,” Lu Yinghuai kissed his hair, “Tang Tang is safe here. Don’t be afraid of anything, understand?”

Jiang Tang nodded, feeling that someone had specially customized a nest for him that was very much to his liking. Finally, he handed the key to him and said: The decision is yours.

Fang Mu tied an apron on and brought the last dish to the table.
Jiang Tang sat at the dining table, the aroma overwhelming.

“Mr. Lu, Mr. Xiao Jiang,” Fang Mu took off her apron, “The desserts and fruits are ready. They are in the kitchen. Please enjoy them. I will go back first.”

There were eight dishes and a soup on the table. Except for the meat that Jiang Tang didn’t eat, all the fish and shrimp were prepared. Fang Mu’s cooking skills were quite good. Jiang Tang hadn’t eaten for a few days, and the aroma made him feel dizzy.

He looked at Fang Mu, then at Lu Yinghuai.

Lu Yinghuai understood: “Let’s sit down together.”

Fang Mu was a reserved person who was not good at saying no. He sat down obediently and ate quietly.

Jiang Tang’s small bowl was filled with the food that Lu Yinghuai had picked up. He took a bite and his eyes were full of stars.

“Fang… the dishes cooked by Assistant Fang are delicious.”

Fang Mu sat up straighter after hearing this and said formally, “Thank you, Mr. Xiao Jiang.”

Lu Yinghuai himself was in no hurry to eat. Although he had been eating and sleeping with Jiang Tang these days and had consumed more energy, he was not too hungry at the moment. He peeled shrimp for Jiang Tang and surprisingly did not feel jealous when he heard this: “Indeed.”

As long as Jiang Tang likes it, everything was fine.

Fang Mu lowered her head to eat the food, looking gentle and virtuous, but as he was eating, a tear fell into the bowl.

Lu Yinghuai was concentrating on serving his Omega, and that tear was only seen by Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang said nothing. Fang Mu was obviously stubborn, and Jiang Tang would not rashly embarrass him.

After dinner, Lu Yinghuai cleaned the table. Although he couldn’t cook, he was good at other tasks.

Fang Mu was an assistant, not a cook or a nanny. And even if Fang Mu came only because Jiang Tang asked him for help in the previous life, he will treat Fang Mu as his own in this life.

“Go back and have a good rest,” Lu Yinghuai said as he saw Fang Mu off, “If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me. You’re welcome.”

Fang Mu: “Okay.”

Lu Yinghuai has really changed. Perhaps it is his love for Jiang Tang that makes the high and mighty S-class Alpha willing to bow his head and take a look at this world.

This was the world where Jiang Tang exists.
