After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 52
It was too late to turn on the lights in the master bedroom, and the environment was dim and blurred.
Bo Yueming’s weight covered him, and the pinned down Pei Yi felt a moment of astonishment. “Er-ge?”
His familiar scent was mixed with alcohol, which he didn’t dislike. Through the double layers of clothing, it seemed that he could still feel the other party’s warmth.
Strange, subtle emotions danced in Pei Yi’s heart, causing him to forget to push him away for a moment.
Bo Yueming tilted his head against Pei Yi’s shoulder and neck, extremely gentle, and seemed to be trying to hold himself back. “Pei Yi, do you know what our relationship is?”
“…….”
The warm air brushed past Pei Yi’s ears, speeding up his heartbeat.
What their relationship was?
What else could it be? Weren’t they marriage partners?
The moment he thought this, Bo Yueming preemptively added a definition to their relationship. “We’re husbands.”
Those two simple words weighed heavily on Pei Yi’s heart.
Bo Yueming reached out to stroke his hair, then down the back of his neck. His fingertips finally landed on the attractive little hidden mole, fiddling back and forth over it.
Pei Yi shrank his neck to get rid of this ticklish feeling, and was at a loss. “Er-ge.”
With that ambiguous tone, this phrase became an invitation.
Bo Yueming’s eyes darkened at once. The hand resting behind Pei Yi’s neck clasped the back of his head, lifted it slightly, and he kissed him hard.
“Wu!”
Pei Yi’s eyes immediately opened wide, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Bo Yueming kissed him forcefully, with hot breath and hot lips.
Pei Yi recovered from his original senselessness, and pushed the person in front of him away with both hands. His heart beat like a drum as he struggled to make a sound. “We can’t, I, I……”
It shouldn’t be like this!
Why did Bo Yueming kiss him?
In the relatively dark environment, Pei Yi couldn’t see clearly and didn’t dare to look at Bo Yueming’s expression at all. The heat lingering on his lips seemed to go to his head, affecting his rational thinking.
He could only say in a panic, “The doctor will b-be here right away.”
Bo Yueming rubbed the tips of his fingers against Pei Yi’s lips, and sighed. “Pei Yi, I don’t need a doctor.”
“…….”
“Why do you think I came back and kissed you?”
“…….”
Pei Yi was dumbfounded by Bo Yueming’s straight-ball words, and could only say dryly in the end, “No way.”
They were clearly only in a superficial “marriage” relationship, so how could things have developed to this extent?
It shouldn’t be like this. They shouldn’t do anything over the line.
Pei Yi’s head was already a mess, and he could only grab onto his initial reasoning, “The d-drugs should wear off.”
Bo Yueming saw Pei Yi’s dodging and resistance, and a complicated look flickered deep in his eyes. “Sorry.”
He loosened his restraint on the person in his arms, slightly holding his weight up. “You leave first, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”
Pei Yi swallowed. “Er-ge?”
Then he heard Bo Yueming say casually, “I’ll find someone else.”
“……..”
Pei Yi’s emotions tensed up again before he had time to relax, and the hands that had originally pushed the other away grasped him tightly. “What?”
Urgency and sourness went hand in hand.
Bo Yueming caught a clue from his tone, but pretended otherwise.
He had never felt that he was this wicked, but he used all means to force the person in his arms to realize his intentions, and even when he was rejected, he was still unwilling.
He exhausted all of his acting skills to show the extent of his eagerness and indulgence, “I know you don’t want to, I’ll find someone else to solve it.”
When Pei Yi thought of Bo Yueming relieving the effects of the medicine with someone else, he felt depressed and uneasy. “N-no way!”
Bo Yueming clamped his wrists down again. Like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity in the dark, he insisted that his prey fully expose his true heart before his eyes.
“You don’t want to? And I’m also not allowed to find someone else? Why?”
“…….”
Pei Yi’s brain and beating heart were a mess. He could only let instinct drive him to raise his head and lean close to Bo Yueming, his ears aflame under his slightly long hair.
“You have me. Y-you’re not allowed to find someone else.”
“Er-ge, I, I can do it.”
Bo Yueming received the answer he wanted, and said lightly but cautiously, “Sorry, I deceived you.”
A kiss fell down again.
Pei Yi didn’t refuse, and only felt that his alcohol capacity was ridiculously poor.
He had obviously turned it into sparkling wine, but he must be drunk now to impulsively respond to such a thing.
Heat and perspiration mixed together, entangled with tenderness and desire.
Pei Yi was dazed by the kiss. He suddenly felt something unusual, and his first night in the villa suddenly popped into his mind—
Bo Yueming, with his inconvenient eyes, accidentally slipped and fell on the bathroom floor, and Pei Yi broke in, getting an unexpected glimpse.
Feeling a slight chill, Pei Yi opened his eyes in shock and then slightly withdrew from the kiss. “Er-ge.”
Bo Yueming looked at the kiss-dazed person in his arms. There was a gleam of watery light hanging in the corners of his eyes, creating a different aesthetic in the dim environment. “En? What’s the matter?”
At a loss for what to do, Pei Yi hugged him tight and confessed in a whisper, “I’m not very good.”
Not only had he not done it with others, he even had no extra experience with himself.
Bo Yueming had just wanted to “take the opportunity” to force the kitten to realize his own intentions. He hadn’t intended to treat this situation casually and take it to its conclusion.
Bo Yueming kissed the man in his arms between the eyebrows, coaxing and deceiving, “I’ll teach you. You help me, okay?”
Pei Yi stirred slightly. “En.”
. . . . . .
The next day, Bo Yueming managed to beat his natural biological clock, and it was already past noon when he woke up.
Pei Yi was still sleeping in his arms. The quilt covered most of his face, and the exposed eyebrows and eyes were very cute and beautiful.
Thinking of all that had happened last night, Bo Yueming couldn’t suppress the joy in his eyes. He couldn’t bear to disturb the kitten’s sweet dreams, so he went into the bathroom to wash up.
Perhaps sensing the departure of the person next to him, the sleeping Pei Yi also showed signs of waking up.
He opened his eyes, extremely drowsy. Then the sound of water in the bathroom reached his ears, and he understood where he was. The lingering fragments of memory that had been silent in his mind revived instantly.
Pei Yi sat up in bed, carefully lifting the quilt to take a look—
Instead of last night’s pajamas, he had changed into a bathrobe.
Clean and fresh. It was obvious that someone had already done the cleaning up for him.
“…….”
A blush instantly spread from Pei Yi’s neck to his entire face.
Before Bo Yueming could come out of the bathroom, he quickly fled the master bedroom back to his own small room.
—Bam!
The moment Bo Yueming stepped out of the bathroom, he heard the rather loud sound of a door closing.
Inspector, who was forced to stay on the sofa all night, failed to keep up with its master’s pace. Its little head almost knocked against the door, and it immediately scratched at the door, meowing and complaining.
It couldn’t comprehend its master’s abnormal behavior, and after hearing Bo Yueming’s footsteps, it shifted the target of its spoiled behavior. “Meow~meow-wu~”
Bo Yueming picked it up. “Shh, don’t make noise.”
Inspector gave a super quiet “meow” and obediently stopped making noise.
Bo Yueming knocked on the closed door. “Pei Yi?”
“…….”
No response.
Bo Yueming figured Pei Yi was shy, so he didn’t force him to come out of the room immediately. “Sleep a little longer, we’ll clarify things later, okay?”
The person in the room remained absolutely silent.
Bo Yueming had no choice but to reflect on himself last night. Did he push him too far?
He was about to say something more, when footsteps sounded in the hallway.
Spying Bo Yueming’s figure, Uncle Kai breathed a sigh of relief. “Second Young Master, it’s good that you’re up. You and Little Sir have already missed breakfast, and you mustn’t skip lunch.”
“En.”
Bo Yueming restrained his expression and walked toward Uncle Kai. “Have Lin Zhong and the others returned?”
The incident last night had happened suddenly. Bo Yueming didn’t want to expose Bo Guancheng’s behavior without “absolute evidence.” What he needed to do was wait for an opportunity, and then settle the old and new grievances once and for all!
“Lao Fu went out again last night, and he and Lin Zhong came back together this morning.” Uncle Kai informed him of the facts, but looked at Bo Yueming with a rare and subtle helplessness—
He thought Bo Yueming had really “fallen into a trap” last night!
Then Lao Fu chased after him in a hurry and explained everything to Uncle Kai in a whisper. It troubled him so much that he didn’t even want to think about it. After all, he had watched his Second Young Master grow up, so why did the other party love playing the rascal in front of Little Sir!
Uncle Kai thought of Bo Yueming knocking on the door and not getting a response, so he made a wild guess, “Second Young Master, did you frighten Little Sir? Is he ignoring you?”
Bo Yueming thought of the shrunken kitten hiding in the room, and helplessly rubbed the space between his brows. “En. Uncle Kai, bring him something to eat, don’t let him starve.”
If he wanted to hide, just let him hide first.
In any case, he would stay at home today. As soon as Pei Yi got over this period of awkward shyness, he would come clean about everything, and then clarify the relationship between the two of them thoroughly.
. . . . . .
He confirmed that the footsteps were gradually fading away.
Pei Yi let out a long sigh of relief, and collapsed back on his bed. It was as if a non-stop projector was installed in his mind, pulling out the memories of the images last night with incomparable clarity—
The person who clearly understood “traditional Chinese medicine” was Bo Yueming, but the person who showed the “medicinal effect” seemed to be himself. They had negotiated teaching and helping, but in fact, when he got to that point, he had already lost his rules and reason.
His hands and feet were soft and numb, and he couldn’t exert any strength at all.
Pei Yi already had no experience in this area, and his current body had never experienced these things.
The moment Bo Yueming took the lead to relieve him, Pei Yi couldn’t help but sob due to so much unfamiliar stimulation, and everything that followed was a mess.
“…….”
He thought of himself crying pitifully in Bo Yueming’s arms.
Pei Yi’s body was so hot that he was about to burn up. He buried his face in the quilt, not knowing for a moment if it was from the shyness or the absurdity.
Before last night, Pei Yi had never seriously considered his relationship with Bo Yueming.
The relationship between the two began with a “marriage,” but not getting the certificate, and not having a wedding, not only outsiders could understand, but even Pei Yi himself took it for granted—
This superficial relationship would end sooner or later.
Pei Yi had read the original book, and knew the direction of everyone’s endings. While he was determined to save himself, he had also made it clear that the Bo family was just a temporary safe haven and a stage for him to watch the show.
The only thing that he still cared about was that his favorite “character” in the book had a particular image—
Pei Yi admired and liked Bo Yueming, and had the kind thoughts of a reader who was looking on from the perspective of god, wanting to help.
When did this start? Everything had subtly changed.
Pei Yi had gradually accepted the step-by-step relationship with Bo Yueming. He took Bo Yueming’s kindness toward him for granted, and didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem.
Until last night, when their relationship crossed the line.
Then what about now that he was clear-headed? How should they clarify this sudden event?
Pei Yi thought for a long time by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more of a mess he became.
He was mentally and physically exhausted, and before he knew it, he fell asleep wrapped up in the familiar quilt once again.
In his dreams, there was a familiar and sweet scent of baking.
Pei Yi seemed to be looking down from above—
He saw himself when he was a child, having changed out of his old, faded clothes and into an expensive and exquisite little suit. Looking up at a window that was half his height taller than him, he was cautious and full of expectation.
“Father Rong, when can we eat the cake?”
As soon as he spoke, someone behind him picked Pei Yi up and placed him on the high chair. “Rong-ge, our family’s Xiao Yi would like to ask you, when can we eat the small cakes?”
Pei Yi turned his head and called obediently again, “Father Yan, good afternoon.”
The man in white who was still busy at the kitchen counter heard this and turned around to see two people, one big and one small, and every movement in the room was gentle. “We have to wait another ten minutes. You guys don’t make trouble here.”
In front of Pei Yi, the tall man suddenly tugged the arm of the man in white and leaned over to kiss him. “Rong-ge, this is called making trouble.”
“You…..”
The man in white was embarrassed for a moment, and only gave a verbal lesson, “How old are you? Can you try to act like a father in front of Xiao Yi?”
Little Pei Yi on his high chair covered his eyes and bowed his head. If he didn’t look, it never happened. “I didn’t see it.”
Pei Yi was adopted by a pair of married husbands.
The tall man was called Zong Boyan, and he had a good family background and strong ability. The man in white was called Xu Rong, and he was a well-known painter in the industry.
There was a six-year age difference between the two, and they had also been together for six years. In the seventh year after confirming their relationship, they went to the orphanage and adopted Pei Yi.
Once upon a time, Pei Yi felt that he was the luckiest child in the world to have been chosen by this couple who truly loved each other.
His fathers taught him about wine, etiquette, shooting, and horsemanship, and supported him in everything he wanted to learn. His Father Rong was good at painting and making desserts, and was incredibly gentle.
Unfortunately, the flowers in the mirror and the reflection of the moon on the water could disappear in an instant, and no matter how beautiful a love was, there would come a day when it faded and became bleak.
The image in front of Pei Yi suddenly turned black, and the screaming fights and sounds of various objects crashing to the ground began to echo in his ears.
Someone suddenly strangled his neck tightly and painfully.
The blurred image in front of his eyes gradually became clear.
Xu Rong’s hands that should have been used to hold paintbrushes clenched around Pei Yi’s neck, the veins protruding violently. The former tenderness could no longer be seen in those eyes, only an endless despair and hatred—
“Why? Why are you doing this to me!”
“Have you seen it? He’s changed, he doesn’t love me anymore!”
“There are no true feelings in this world after all. They’re all liars, liars!”
A steady stream of accusations resounded in Pei Yi’s ears, and he burst into tears, unable to break free from the suffocation.
At last, the person before him suddenly released him, but forced him to keep in mind, “Xiao Yi, you remember my lesson! Don’t trust anyone easily, and don’t push yourself foolishly into a fire pit!”
“It’s better not to have it in the first place. Keep that in mind, don’t have it!”
After speaking, Xu Rong picked up the utility knife at the side and stabbed himself hard.
“— Father Rong!”
Pei Yi awoke from the dream. He sat up and pressed his temples, took a few breaths with lingering terror, and said to himself, “I, I know.”
Feelings were not something he could touch.
He couldn’t understand them, and didn’t want to try.
Pei Yi cast his gaze around, and after it fell on the wardrobe, a quick thought cut through the mess in his mind—
He couldn’t stay any longer, he had to go!
Instead of thinking so much, it was better to stay away from all of this. Only in this way could he continue his career without distractions!
. . . . . .
The sky in late autumn always got dark very quickly.
Uncle Kai knocked on the door of the study, holding an empty dinner plate in his hand. “Second Young Master.”
Bo Yueming, who was forced to ‘stay’ in the study for a whole day, felt a little relieved when he saw this. “He was finally willing to come out for dinner?”
Uncle Kai nodded. “Little Sir has been hungry for almost a day, and he ate quite a lot for dinner. It seems he has recovered.”
He missed breakfast, and didn’t have lunch or afternoon tea. If he still refused to eat dinner, Bo Yueming would have to find a way to pry open the door of the small bedroom and get this hiding kitten out.
Bo Yueming closed the work file. “I’ll go up and have a look.”
Uncle Kai nodded, and reminded him as an elder, “Second Young Master, you and Little Sir should confess these matters to each other step by step. After all, you have been hiding your eyesight for so long, and you have to consider whether he can accept your concealment.”
Bo Yueming thought for a moment. “En. I know this well.”
He stopped wasting time, and walked upstairs steadily. He had just stepped through the door of the small living room when he ran into Pei Yi, who was about to go out.
The moment their four eyes met—
Pei Yi slammed on the brakes and turned around to go back to his room as if he had seen some kind of monster.
Bo Yueming was angry and helpless. “Pei Yi?”
“……..”
Pei Yi stopped suddenly, and after his quick reaction, he wanted to slap himself on the forehead!
In the past three or four months, he had gotten used to pretending to be “foolish.” As long as Bo Yueming spoke, he would obey in a well-behaved manner.
The footsteps behind him gradually approached.
Pei Yi had no choice but to display his proficient acting skills. With his back to Bo Yueming, he yawned. “Ah— so sleepy!”
The ending tone trembled, giving off an indescribable coquettish feeling.
Bo Yueming saw that he kept his back facing him the whole time, and knew the kitten was avoiding him on purpose, but he still asked teasingly, “It wasn’t enough to ‘sleep’ for a whole day? Those things last night cost you so much effort?”
“……..”
Pei Yi could hear the cheer in his tone of voice, and images of the night before appeared in his mind uncontrollably.
After he disarmed and surrendered the first time, Pei Yi had nestled in Bo Yuemings arms and gradually collected himself. The “help” that was promised became a drifting goalpost, and after Pei Yi couldn’t bear it one way any longer, Bo Yueming switched to another.
Although they didn’t go all the way, both of them finished what needed to be finished.
Pei Yi’s entire body was in a panic, and even the mole on the back of his neck seemed to be died red.
Bo Yueming was helpless. “Sleep later, I have something to tell you.”
Pei Yi pretended he couldn’t hear, slowly moving toward his room.
Bo Yueming noticed his small movements, and only took the initiative to step forward. “Pei Yi, I……”
In the next second, Pei Yi, who had his back to him, suddenly turned around and voluntarily hugged him. “Er-ge.”
Bo Yueming was a little taken aback, but didn’t reject his throwing himself into his arms. “En? What is it?”
Pei Yi could admit that this hug of his contained an element of ‘pleasing and flattering.’ He didn’t want to delve into what happened last night and the thoughts behind it, so as not to disrupt his decision to leave.
“I’m sleepy.”
Pei Yi paused for a moment, and said goodbye with a farewell he didn’t think through. “Goodnight, husband.”
Bo Yueming’s usually calm mind lagged a bit due to this address.
Even if he had thousands of words to say, they were all blocked by this one title.
“I’ll give you one more night. You won’t be able to use this excuse tomorrow.” Bo Yueming grasped the back of the neck of the man in his arms. “Goodnight.”
Pei Yi rubbed his shoulder nonchalantly, then quickly turned and went into his room.
Click.
The door was closed tightly.
Bo Yueming stood where he was, recalling Pei Yi suddenly addressing him as husband.
He kept feeling that despite the other party showing off his cleverness, there was also a trace of inexplicable and unclear melancholy.
Bo Yueming thought of the other party’s abnormal avoidance today, and he, who was always calm and decisive in any situation, once again fell into his own doubts and powerlessness—
To be honest, he also had no experience in love.
Even if there was a marriage relationship and getting along as a prerequisite, he hadn’t made clear his relationship with Pei Yi yet. Wasn’t the method of testing his mind last night too out of bounds?
. . . . . .
That night.
Pei Yi looked at the faint shadow of a tree in the darkness outside the window, and closed the light suitcase that had already been packed.
When he entered the Bo residence as the original owner, he didn’t bring much, and now that he was leaving, there still weren’t many things to take away.
Pei Yi looked at the grown-up little black cat in front of him, and said in a whisper, “Inspector, do you want to stay here with Er-ge or go with me?”
Inspector lifted its head, as if it couldn’t understand Pei Yi’s question.
But it still responded as usual: “Meow-wu~”
“So you’re leaving with me?” Pei Yi acquiesced, then chuckled and said to himself, “I feel that neither of us is a good person, leaving Bo Yueming and running away. I wonder if he will be angry?”
Inspector moved closer to Pei Yi and accompanied him in a well-behaved manner.
Pei Yi glanced at the time on his phone. It was past eleven o’clock. According to Bo Yueming’s natural habits, he should have fallen asleep by now.
“Inspector, I’ll take you out to play. You must be obedient later, and not make noise, do you understand?”
“Meow~”
Pei Yi took a deep breath, then opened the door of his room with extreme caution.
In the living room, there was still a dim lamp on.
Pei Yi looked at the closed master bedroom door on the other side, and his downcast mood fluctuated for a moment.
He hastily gripped the handle of the suitcase and motioned for Inspector at his feet to follow. “Let’s go!”
Before the person and the cat could walk out of the living room—
Bo Yueming suddenly appeared at the door, accurately blocking their way. “Where do you think you’re going?”
