CH 60

[Extra] 60 - Ye Lan x Ye Xiao - Get on the car1 !! Don’t say more! Go!! (I certainly can’t become a locked chapter.)

———

Recently, Ye Lan had been less and less well-behaved when going to sleep, in addition, the frequency of this bad behaviour had also increased more and more.

Ye Xiao was very irritable when he didn’t get enough sleep, so every time Ye Lan stuck to him and rubbed against him and hugged him and woke him up, his mood was not too good.

Ye Xiao smacked Ye Lan far away with the palm of his hand: “If you don’t sleep what are you disturbing me for?”

Obviously when they were at the Nightrunner, the two of them often woke up and went to sleep together, but it was rarely like this. Ever since they started living comfortably with their new Master, Ye Lan had begun to make trouble frequently.

Ye Xiao thought it boiled down to having a belly full of food and a mind full of lust2 .

“It’s uncomfortable here, Gui Mao.” Ye Lan looked wilted and dejected, he rubbed against him and asked, “Have I been poisoned?”

“……” Pretending he didn’t know what he was feeling, Gui Mao took in a deep breath and suggested, “Go swim in the lake for a bit, or run ten laps around Yang Lake and come back.”

“Oh.” Ye Lan got up and put his clothes on, obediently listening to him and going out.

Half a sichen later, Ye Lan returned, dripping wet: “I swam for a bit, also ran ten laps, it was enough.”

Ye Xiao blushed with shame. “…..you really went for a swim….. uh, are you still feeling uncomfortable now?”

Ye Lan nodded sincerely: “I’m fine now, thank you.”

“…..No, don’t mention it, you’re welcome.” Ye Xiao had shame in his heart, so he reluctantly got up, “Hey, sit up, I’ll wipe you down, it’s winter after all.”

Grabbing him and pushing him onto a chair, Ye Xiao pulled out a cloth and wrapped it around his head, rubbing it determinedly. Ye Lan’s short hair had always been personally cut by him, the first few times he cut it it was a jagged, tragic sight, but now he has practised enough to nimbly make it very fitting.

Ye Lan was still as he was roughly wiped clean by him, he caught sight of Ye Xiao’s unclothed waist through a gap between his messy hair and the cloth, and he couldn’t help but reach out to embrace it.

Ye Xiao was originally standing in front of him, so when he was pulled into his embrace and stood between his legs, he immediately became aware of something pressing against him from in between his legs, and his heart thumped.

Ye Xiao still hadn’t figured out what to say to dodge when Ye Lan had already pushed him away and stood up, saying: “I’m uncomfortable again, I’ll go swim in the lake for a bit. Go to sleep first, don’t wait for me.”

Ye Lan didn’t wait for a reply and pushed the door open, going out and leaving Ye Xiao standing stiffly in place as the wintry cold air from the twelfth lunar month made its way inside the room from the crack in the door, making him shiver.

1 Internet slang, they're getting on the car because they're going for a long, bumpy ride~ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Top.

2 From 饱暖思淫欲 lit. eat till full be warm think about lust. Like the saying ‘When the belly is full, the mind is among the maids’, meaning that when one is not thinking about things like food or shelter, they can start to indulge in other desires. Top.

3 Actual word is 上火 which refers to a traditional Chinese medicine term known as en excess of ‘internal heat’ which can cause all sorts of symptoms including congestion, sore throat, swelling, discomfort, etc. Top.

4 On jjwxc, ‘nutrient solution’ is the name of a points system you can award to works you like. By giving works ‘nutrient solution’, fans can ‘fertilise’ their favourite works so they can grow and become more popular, and the more fans ‘cultivate’ the works they like the better they do. Top.

5 A saying that means writing something off as being hopeless and acting recklessly. Top.
