Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 62
Beloved Enemy Chapter 62
FEBRUARY 4, 2019 ~ ROSYSPELL
It’s New Years EVE for us but for many of you, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEARS!!!
The two people didn’t sleep, spending the night counting and calculating their lost valuables.
In the end, GuQingPei realized that in addition to YuanYang’s laptop, he also lost some cash and gold accessories. The safe had traces of being tampered with but it was not opened. This thief stole things that were merely easy to grab. His taste didn’t seem too good. After all, the things that are truly valuable were not taken.
What GuQingPei lost was not too big so his mood is slightly better. Just that the mess in the house gave him a headache.
He turned to look at YuanYang and saw that his complexion was still very gloomy, so he comforted him, “All the things that were stolen amounted to about a few ten thousands. The loss is not too immense; don’t think too much about it.”
YuanYang’s expression didn’t ease up. He reluctantly forced his spirits up and said to GuQingPei, “Go to sleep, I’ll clean up a bit.”
“Don’t do it now. It’s going to be morning soon. We’ve had a long exhausting day. Let’s just go to sleep and talk about it tomorrow.”
YuanYang shook his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket, lowering his head, “I can’t sleep, you go ahead.”
“What’s wrong with you? Is there something important in the laptop?”
YuanYang’s hand that was pressing the lighter trembled, the flames flicked from his fingers and the heat created a painful sensation. Obviously, this pain is minuscule, but it made him feel guilty. Depressingly, he uttered, “There is some information on there. It’s fine, you go sleep. We’ll talk after I clean up.”
GuQingPei sighed, “Then I’m going to sleep first. You also rest soon.” GuQingPei removed his coat and hung it on the clothes rack. Then, he turned to walk to the bedroom.
YuanYang suddenly grabbed his arm and hug him from behind.
GuQingPei turned to look at him, “What’s wrong?”
YuanYang buried his face on his shoulder and muffled, “Without me, would you be able to sleep?”
GuQingPei sneered, “How old do you think I am?”
YuanYang was silent. Then, he suddenly blurted out, “What I did to you that first time (referring to the rape), I regret it very much. Sorry.”
GuQingPei is stunned, “You…”
He had known YuanYang for over half a year. This is the first time he heard an apology coming out of this person’s mouth. GuQingPei felt his heart trembling.
The memory of that night was full of shame and embarrassment. Although he is a man and won’t take it to heart, there had always been a knot, like that of a time bomb between them that could explode any time with merely a spark. Just like the few mocking words PengFang said last time is the best example. Even now, he can’t forget the anguish, shame and resentment he felt sitting in front of the laptop chatting with PengFang who was distances away, in a place where he (GuQingPei) can’t even see his face yet PengFang talked about him in such provocative manner.
With this matter, YuanYang really do owe him an apology. But GuQingPei never expected him to apologize because YuanYang is not the type of person to apologize.
But, he really said it.
No matter what the reason is or whatever crazy thing happened, he really did say it.
GuQingPei didn’t know how to describe his current mood … a bit pleased but also a bit angry at this long-awaited apology. He could only lower his head and uttered, “Ah, it’s good that you know that you’re wrong.”
YuanYang tightened his arms around him and gently kissed his neck, “Go sleep. Let me handle all this. Don’t think about anything.”
“Okay, I’m going to go sleep,” GuQingPei didn’t turn around as he walked into the room.
He took a shower and laid on the bed to rest. When it was peacefully quiet all around in the room, he could hear the subtle sounds of footsteps and things being tidied up in the living room.
Thinking that YuanYang was just outside the door, even though the house had been burglarized, he didn’t feel a bit unsettled, instead he felt full of security.
Because YuanYang is outside.
YuanYang’s apology dispelled the resentment and loosened the knot in his heart tremendously. The progress of this kid, he could almost see it in every phase, watching the seedling that he cultivated slowly grow and sprout. That beauty of seeing it growing mature, looking more decent, is indescribable
GuQingPei turned over on the bed, laying on his back, he stretched his hand out and habitually touched the other side.
It’s bare……
Without me, would you be able to sleep?
GuQingPei smiled softly. It seems he was really not used to it.
Because he didn’t sleep until after 4am, GuQingPei slept until noon. Fortunately, it is Saturday today and he didn’t need to go to work so he just slept in.
At around noon, YuanYang went into the room to wake him up to wash up and eat.
GuQingPei squinted his eyes at him, “You didn’t sleep at all last night?”
YuanYang shook his head, “It’s fine, I can’t sleep if I don’t finish tidying up the place.”
GuQingPei sighed and pulled him onto the bed, “Hurry up and take a break.”
YuanYang hugged his waist and rolled around the bed once, then patted his ass, “Let’s talk after we eat. Hurry up to eat.”
GuQingPei got up to get dress and washed up. Then, he sat down to have a hot hearty breakfast. The entire house had been cleaned and neatly tidied. There was basically no trace that the house had been burglarized. GuQingPei had doubt whether he had too much to drink last night and imagined it.
But then, he saw the dark circles on YuanYang’s eyes and knew that the memory from last night was not a dream. He touched YuanYang’s face tenderly and smiled softly, “You’ve worked hard.”
“I’m fine,” YuanYang vaguely responded as he continued to bury his head to eat.
GuQingPei had this strange feeling that YuanYang is not daring to look at him because of some kind of guilt. But he felt that there was no reason. It was just strange.
After eating, YuanYang cleaned up the dishes. GuQingPei voiced, “I’ve slept enough. I need to move around. You hurry up and sleep. You didn’t sleep all night. You’re not going to have energy and we still have to work overtime tomorrow”.
YuanYang hesitated but finally nodded, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
GuQingPei wanted to get rid of the unfortunate experience of being burglarized so he tried to think of things that are happy as he hummed a song and cleaned the kitchen.
After he finished cleaning, he turned on the TV and put on a movie that had just been released but he haven’t had the time to go watch it in the cinema. He planned to rest today.
At this time, YuanYang came out from the shower and walked to his side. He lay down on the sofa, resting his head on GuQingPei’s thigh. GuQingPei combed through his hair, “Why don’t you go to sleep?”
“I’ll just sleep here.”
“But I’m watching a movie. How can you sleep? You can’t even stretch your legs.”
“The noise doesn’t bother me. I just want to sleep here.” YuanYang turned over and reached his arms out to hug GuQingPei’s waist, putting his face against GuQingPei’s belly, “You watch your movie, let me be.”
GuQingPei smiled, his slender fingers threaded through YuanYang’s thick hair, gently massage his scalp.
YuanYang closed his eyes, smelling his familiar scent, feeling his familiar temperature, exhaustion and sleepiness immediately consumes him.
He and GuQingPei have gone through numerous fights and extreme rivalry to get to the harmonious relationship that they have today. He will not allow anyone and anything to destroy his current relationship with GuQingPei; nobody can take away this affectionate and content moment.
