Stand-in Relationship - Chap 124
The ambiguous atmosphere disappeared, and Xu Chengyan froze at once.
He Yang dodged away.
Xu Chengyan instantly came to his senses, still a little embarrassed.
It was like being splashed with cold water, and his whole body was cold.
Xu Chengyan let go of his hand, and his palm unknowingly slipped off the man’s arm, bowing his head in silence.
Fortunately, there are no lights on in the room now, the darkness hides everything, so at least it’s not too embarrassing.
He Yang was still at the edge of the bed, stepping back slightly and pulling the quilt up, said in a hoarse voice: “Rest early.”
He Yang’s tone was the same as before, and the expression on his face didn’t change, as if nothing had just happened.
“Mm.” Xu Chengyan obediently lay back on the bed.
Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
He Yang stayed quietly beside him for a while, before getting up and turning to leave the room.
However, after He Yang left, Xu Chengyan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and did not feel sleepy at all.
The next morning—
Xu Chengyan came out of the bedroom and was about to go downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.
And when he passed by the study room, he saw that the study door was open.
Xu Chengyan stopped and looked into the study.
In the room, the man was leaning alone on the sofa, with a wooden sign in his hand.
He Yang gazed at the wooden sign in his hand, caressing it over and over again.
Xu Chengyan’s eyes fell on the wooden sign and saw the man caressing it carefully, as if he was treating some important treasure.
But that wooden sign was just something he had brought back with him when he was praying in the temple four years ago.
Four years ago……
For an instant, Xu Chengyan suddenly seemed to understand something.
Whether it was the wooden sign he left behind four years ago, or the bedroom layout in the old mansion that hadn’t been altered in four years—
Everything was the “Xu Chengyan” of four years ago.
The Xu Chengyan who followed Mr. Xu around from the age of eighteen to twenty-three.
Xu Chengyan withdrew his eyes, walked past the study and headed to the stairs.
When he arrived on the first floor, Xu Chengyan went to find the Auntie and asked her to make a little warm bibimbap.
The bibimbap was soon ready and Xu Chengyan took the bowl to the dining room and sat alone at the table to eat.
Just when Xu Chengyan was halfway through eating, he heard a movement from the stairway, it was He Yang coming down.
He Yang also saw the figure in the dining room and came towards the dining room.
He Yang came to the youth and stretched out his hand, put one hand on the back of the chair, leaned down and asked softly, “Why are you up so late?”
Xu Chengyan glanced at the time, it was already eleven in the morning, and replied, “It’s okay.”
It was already past ten when he woke up, and after lying in bed for a while, it was eleven.
