There’s a psycho who has a crush on me

Chapter 53

Moreover, they were together now. Thinking of this, Yu Pei couldn’t help asking Luo Changzhou: “Changzhou, were you thinking of me?”

His lips curving, Luo Changzhou looked at Yu Pei and said: “Of course I was.”

“Really?” Luo Changzhou’s answer was both definite and quick, so earnest that Yu Pei somewhat doubted his words. He muttered quietly: “All the classmates sent me caring messages during break, but you didn’t send any…”

Luo Changzhou laughed once and didn’t explain the latter part. He bent down and kissed Yu Pei’s ear, whispering beside it: “Human ears can only hear sound frequencies from 20 hertz to 20,000 hertz, but my longing for you is a silent, low-frequency longing, so you couldn’t hear it.”

The range of sound frequencies human ears could detect was something mentioned long ago in physics textbooks, but when Luo Changzhou said this, it sounded like sweet words, tender and affectionate. Yu Pei’s ears reddened a bit as he said softly: “That’s an excuse.”

Who knew Luo Changzhou wouldn’t refute his words, but directly admitted: “Mm, it is.”

“Hm?” Hearing this, Yu Pei’s eyes widened immediately as he looked up at Luo Changzhou.

“It’s an excuse. I was afraid you couldn’t hear my longing, so I wanted to tell you in person that during this morning without your company, I missed you very much.” Luo Changzhou touched his hair, smiling as he spoke.

Now Yu Pei’s face wasn’t just red at the ears, it turned completely red. Looking at Luo Changzhou, his eyes seemed to have a layer of soft moisture, misty and hazy. He lowered his eyelashes and said gently: “I missed you very much too.”

The atmosphere seemed to become ambiguous in that moment. Luo Changzhou’s fingers, originally stroking the back of Yu Pei’s head, also moved down slightly, slowly cupping his chin, his face gradually lowering as he leaned closer.

They had only kissed once, on the day they first got together. Yu Pei could still remember how it felt when Luo Changzhou’s lips touched his that day. Like a tiny spark that ignited from between lips and teeth, spreading fire throughout his entire body. Watching Luo Changzhou’s face drawing closer and closer, he gradually lifted his chin until he could feel the pause when warm breath was within reach.

The scorching, soft breath gently brushed across his face, landing on his lips, as if Luo Changzhou had already kissed him. Yu Pei’s hands at Luo Changzhou’s waist couldn’t help but grasp his clothing, clutching it tightly in his fingertips. Luo Changzhou’s lips were separated from his by no more than a finger’s width—not even a centimeter—yet Yu Pei’s impatience made him feel this closing distance took an unbearably long time. As if unable to wait any longer, looking into Luo Changzhou’s blue eyes, he suddenly pursed his lips and touched Luo Changzhou’s.

Before Yu Pei could experience the intimate feeling of kissing or sense whether Luo Changzhou’s lips were soft, Luo Changzhou suddenly began laughing quietly, turning his head away to muffle his laughter against Yu Pei’s left shoulder. Even though he tried to suppress his amusement, his laughter was quite obvious in the quiet room and seemed to be getting louder.

Yu Pei knew what he was laughing about. He didn’t think there was anything funny about it, but seeing Luo Changzhou’s uncontrollable mirth, he felt so embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

“Stop laughing…” Seeing that Luo Changzhou had no intention of stopping anytime soon, having completely destroyed the perfectly good ambiguous atmosphere in the room, Yu Pei felt both shy and wronged. He tugged at his clothes and said.

“Alright, I’ll stop laughing.” Luo Changzhou stopped his laughter. He gently stroked Yu Pei’s face with his hand, discovering that Yu Pei’s face was really warm, just like the hand warmers he used to boil for Yu Pei every morning. Unable to resist, he pressed his other hand against it too, his lips still curved high upward: “So Ah Pei wanted to kiss me that much…”

“You were the one who wanted to kiss me.” Yu Pei wouldn’t admit it. Obviously Luo Changzhou had lowered his head first, and he had only lifted his head to cooperate.

Luo Changzhou lowered his head, cupping Yu Pei’s face, their noses gently touching as he kissed lightly at the corner of his lips: “Fine, fine, fine, I wanted to kiss Ah Pei.”

Only then did Yu Pei stop protesting, though this time he pressed his lips together, planning to wait until Luo Changzhou actually kissed him before lifting his head. There would be absolutely no more pursing his lips!

But they still didn’t end up kissing, because just as their lips were about to touch, Gu Zheng came knocking: “Ah Pei, Big Brother Yu is back, time for dinner—”

Luo Changzhou had no choice but to release Yu Pei, saying helplessly: “Time to eat.”

“Mm…” The flush on Yu Pei’s face hadn’t completely faded. He responded quietly, thinking to himself how difficult it was to even get a kiss with Luo Changzhou.

Luo Changzhou seemed to see through his thoughts. Smiling, he pinched Yu Pei’s face and leaned close to his ear, saying quietly: “We’ll continue later, okay?”

Yu Pei didn’t speak, lifting his foot to walk toward the door. But Luo Changzhou hugged his waist from behind, his lips gently brushing against his ear, as if he wouldn’t give up without getting an answer. Laughing, he asked again: “Okay, Ah Pei?”

Yu Pei could only answer quietly: “Okay…”

Gu Zheng, who had been waiting outside the door for a while, saw the door open to reveal Luo Changzhou, who had been cold-faced all morning but was now smiling so widely his eyes curved up. He couldn’t help but stare at him repeatedly with wide eyes, as if seeing some rare sight. In his heart he marveled. Love really was a magical thing that could turn steel into soft silk. How come he never felt this way when he was in relationships? Could it be that he’d been in fake relationships?

Yu Pei and Luo Changzhou didn’t know that their being together had made Gu Zheng start questioning his own concept of love. Mild concussion could make people feel nauseous and dizzy, and because balance was weakened, people with concussions felt a sense of weightlessness when walking, like stepping on cotton without finding solid footing. Seeing Yu Pei walking unsteadily, Luo Changzhou stepped forward to support him as they walked.

Yu Qing had decided to take advantage of this car accident to rest properly for a while. He didn’t plan to stay late at the company for the next few days and would come home for dinner every day. So when Yu Pei and the others came downstairs, Yu Qing had just sat down at the dining table. Hearing their footsteps coming down, Yu Qing looked up at them indifferently, then lowered his head to look at the documents in his hands without saying anything.

Uncle Zhuang was arranging dishes on the table with a maid. Seeing Luo Changzhou and Yu Pei walking close together while Gu Zheng, who had grown up playing with Yu Pei, walked to the side looking at the two of them with a complicated expression, he found it strange and wondered if they had quarreled. But the next moment, seeing Gu Zheng excitedly run to the table when he saw the food on it, this thought was dismissed.

“You two sit together. I’ll sit with Big Brother Yu.”

The dining table the Yu family used was a large square table. Yu Qing always sat on the left side, while Yu Pei and Gu Zheng used to sit together on the right side for meals. But since Luo Changzhou was here today, Gu Zheng felt it necessary to give Yu Pei’s boyfriend a seat, so he proactively sat beside Yu Qing.

Hearing Gu Zheng say this, Uncle Zhuang couldn’t help but turn his look to Luo Changzhou. As soon as he saw those blue eyes, he knew who he was. After all, Yu Pei used to mention him almost every day, and his face would light up with a smile every time he talked about him.

“This must be classmate Luo Changzhou,” Uncle Zhuang said with a smile, placing a glass of fresh juice in front of Luo Changzhou. “Ah Pei used to mention you often.”

Luo Changzhou looked up at Uncle Zhuang. Before he could respond, Yu Qing said without lifting his head: “Mm, this is Ah Pei’s boyfriend.”

Uncle Zhuang froze for a moment, thinking his hearing had problems due to his age. He asked again uncertainly: “Boyfriend?”

Yu Qing said again: “Mm, that’s right.”

Luo Changzhou also cooperated with Yu Qing, politely greeting Uncle Zhuang: “Hello Uncle Zhuang, I’m Ah Pei’s boyfriend.”

Hearing Yu Qing introduce Luo Changzhou this way, Yu Pei nearly spit out the juice he’d just put in his mouth. He hadn’t figured out how to tell Uncle Zhuang about Luo Changzhou yet, but his brother had said everything, and Luo Changzhou had cooperated so seamlessly.

Uncle Zhuang looked toward Yu Pei again, surprised: “Ah Pei is in love?”

Yu Pei put down his juice and confirmed: “Yes, Uncle Zhuang… Changzhou and I are together.”

Uncle Zhuang had no son, only a daughter who was still studying abroad and rarely stayed by his side, so he was very fond of Yu Pei, treating him like his own child. When Yu Pei had been ill before, he had been very worried. Later, after Yu Pei was discharged and returned to school, he often mentioned this person called Luo Changzhou. Uncle Zhuang had felt then that this person must be special to Yu Pei, but he hadn’t expected that after this period of time, they would actually be together.

However, looking at Luo Changzhou’s appearance, Uncle Zhuang felt this should have been expected.

Yu Pei had been introverted since childhood. Though Yu’s mother appeared to treat him well on the surface, she actually often used cold violence against Yu Pei. And as one of the very important participants in a boy’s growth process—his father—Father Yu had a very distant relationship with him. Children who grew up this way tended to have strong paternal tendencies.

In other words, he would be drawn to men who were older than him or who could give him a sense of security.

And Yu Pei had indeed shown such tendencies. For example, toward Yu Qing.

Moreover, Uncle Zhuang couldn’t imagine Yu Pei dating a girl. Yu Pei’s personality was really too gentle; he couldn’t provide a girl with enough security. Being with a boy was more suitable for him.

Besides, from Yu Pei’s usual words, it was clear that Luo Changzhou was a child who studied very well, and Yu Qing seemed to have no objection, so there was no problem. Most importantly, Yu Pei himself liked him. Uncle Zhuang smiled and said: “Since you’re together, feel free to come visit Ah Pei more often when you have time.”

Luo Changzhou agreed: “Alright.”

Listening to their conversation, Yu Pei felt somewhat dazed. He belatedly realized that this should count as meeting the parents, right? And both sets of parents seemed to have no objection to them being together. When he first discovered he liked Luo Changzhou, he had worried about coming out in the future, because as far as he knew, most parents weren’t very tolerant of homosexuality. But he and Luo Changzhou had come out so smoothly.
