My outside expression is different from my inner expression

Chapter 85.1

Editor: Jodi

It wasn’t known when Liu Bohuai had prepared it, but there was a lot if food in the treehouse.

And in the afternoon, Li Qingzhou ate quite a bit one after the other.

However when he still wanted to eat more cupcakes, Liu Bohuai didn’t give in, leaning over to rub his belly as he said, “It’s okay, you can’t eat anymore, wait for dinner…”

Li Qingzhou nodded while grabbing a chip from the plate on the small coffee table sneakily, chewing it click, crunch crunch.

His expression calm, his eyes innocent.

[Just one last bite, just one last bite…]

–The little guy in the bubble covered his mouth, his eyes twinkling with mischievous glee.

Liu Bohuai, amused and exasperated, moved the snack plate a bit further away.

And as there was still time before dinner, Liu Bohuai told him that he wanted to take him for a stroll by the lake.

Li Qingzhou nodded in agreement.

And although it was a bit cumbersome to navigate the treehouse with all the coming and going, Liu Bohuai clearly enjoyed carrying him back and forth.

He placed a cushion on the wheelchair, covered Li Qingzhou with a fluffy blanket after he sat down, then pushed him through the thick forest leaves to the lakeside to enjoy the view.

The season was nearing winter, however it hadn’t reached its coldest yet.

The lake shimmered, leaves falling along the shore.

And from afar, the layered forest was dyed in colors, vast yet gentle and sparse, giving one the quietest and most comfortable feeling.

Liu Bohuai took Li Qingzhou to the lakeside to admire the view.

In Li Qingzhou’s palm, he held a hand warmer, his mood settled and serene.

He couldn’t help but look up, smiling at Liu Bohuai who was standing behind him, then the words just slipped out: “Ah Huai, I really like you.”

Liu Bohuai’s eyes that were behind his rimless glasses widened slightly, stunned by what he had just said.

[I, I said it –sh, shy, nervous….. Third Master, why isn’t Ah Huai reacting…..]

–The little guy in the bubble buried his head in his chest, and crouching down, curled up. However he couldn’t resist peeking up to see Liu Bohuai’s reaction.

The knot in Liu Bohuai’s throat rolled, his throat a bit dry, his heart throbbing uncontrollably.

Then meeting Li Qingzhou’s shy yet unflinching gaze, he leaned over, lowered his head and sealed the moment with a kiss.

–This was the best response, the best answer, and also the one that conveyed the most direct feelings to the other.

The slightly cold wind by the lake was unable to extinguish the growing warmth.

“Mm, mm… glasses.” Li Qingzhou struggled to speak, trying to regain control of the tip of his tongue.

He pushed against Liu Bohuai’s chest lightly with both hands, pulling him back to his senses.

Liu Bohuai moved back a little, one hand stroking the back of the neck of the person in his arms gently, while the other moved to remove his glasses.

However Li Qingzhou beat him to it, and taking them off himself, held them in the palm of his hand, his pale fingertips touching them lightly before resting them on his lap.

Then he spoke softly, his words floating to the ears of the person in front of him.

–Now, kiss me properly.

Liu Bohuai could no longer restrain himself, the bottom of his eyes seeming to contain magma that was about to erupt, intensely hot yet dark and profound, hiding dangerously.

He poured his emotions into the kiss, until Li Qingzhou became more and more unable to resist.

–Li Qingzhou whimpered, his voice sounding pitiful yet it made it so that Liu Bohuai couldn’t help but want to continue bullying him.

However in the end, he couldn’t bear to.

……

A little later, Liu Bohuai pulled away slowly,

The two of them a little out of breath.

Li Qingzhou especially so, as the corners of his eyes were wet, his lips were wet as well, and his cheeks, the tips of his ear and neck were all stained with red……

[Woo….. my lips, my lips are definitely swollen, its all numb.]

–The little guy in the bubble sat pitifully with crossed legs, one hand covering his mouth weekly while the other held a small mirror to look.

And unable to resist, Liu Bohuai couldn’t help but lean in again to kiss him.

This time on the cheeks then between the eyebrows.

Li Qingzhou closed then opened his eyes, looking up at him as he pulled away– he reached out, cupped his face in the palm of his hot hand, then pouted his lips as he kissed him back, whispering, “Ah Huai, I love you.”

“I love you too, Qingzhou.” Liu Bohuai told him as he covered his hand and turned to kiss his palm as he looked at him.

The two of them stayed by the lake for a little while longer before returning to the treehouse.

And back at the treehouse, the atmosphere was even more harmonious and intense.

Because just a single glance at the other caused there to be an overflowing of deep emotions that were unstoppable, as sweet as honey that had been poured into their hearts.

The result– Li Qingzhou’s swollen lips never went down.

For dinner, Liu Bohuai made a very tasty oven-roasted meat and spicy rabbit head.

And Li Qingzhou, while saying in his heart, ‘how can I eat a rabbit?’ found it delicious as he ate it.

After dinner, he nestled on the sofa in the living room of the treehouse, thinking while rubbing his belly, Rabbit meat is really delicious, I’ll eat it again next time.

Outside, it was dark, the wind rustling the leaves in the forest.

While inside the living room of the treehouse, there was a fake fireplace, with flames that looked real behind transparent glass.

The room was warm with heating, and with the simulated flames, it really gave one an extraordinary feeling.

“Is that fireplace really fake?”

After Liu Bohuai finished tidying up and sat on the sofa, he picked Li Qingzhou up and Li Qingzhou, who was nestled in his arms asked.

Liu Bohuai looked at it then told him, “It can be lit, but we usually don’t use it.”

“Oh.” Li Qingzhou nodded.

“It’s still early, do you want to watch a movie?”

“Yes, I want to watch…..”

The living room was lit only by a dim light, the two of them snuggled together closely on the sofa, enjoying the leisure time after dinner quietly.
