Chapter 6 - Raka BL Translations

Quan Quan, ” … “

Qiao Guang Yu, ” … “

“If it weren’t for the boss to feel slightly guilty,” Quan Quan said weakly, “I guess he would think we are having an affair.”

Qiao Guang Yu was on the verge of crying, “I didn’t mean it, I was scared too … ” Who would have thought that the boss would be so scheming and would not give him a chance to sleep in the bed. Two gays hugging each other … unless they both had a hidden illness, it could easily lead to trouble.

“Then I … go back to sleep?” Qiao Guang Yu asked in a worried tone.

“Forget it; you’ll only embarrass the boss even more if you go back.” Quan Quan shook his head. “He promised not to touch you, but he couldn’t help but want you. As a result, you ran away. Did you want to deepen those unpleasant memories for him by going back?”

Qiao Guang Yu shook his head quickly, “Of course not.”

“Then you will make do with me for the night.” Quan Quan called the staff to send another quilt up and said to Qiao Guang Yu, “This is a single room. You sleep in the bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor.”

Qiao Guang Yu said, “Brother Quan, I’d better sleep on the floor. It’s me who is troubling you today.”

“Then we can sleep together.” Quan Quan looked at him coldly. “You’ll either sleep alone or with me; these are the only two options.”

“Why?”

Quan Quan lowered his eyes. “Because I’m a secretary, and you are a ‘lover’ in the eyes of the boss. You are more important than me. If you catch a cold while sleeping on the floor tonight, I’ll only be in more trouble.”

Qiao Guang Yu said, “Oh,” and quickly made a choice. “Then let’s sleep together. I don’t want you to catch a cold.”

Quan Quan said indifferently, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”

“I’m not afraid. I won’t suffer; we’re all men, after all.” Qiao Guang Yu looked at him and smiled.

Quan Quan reminded him, “The boss is also a man.”

“The boss is different. He has a sweetheart.” Qiao Guang Yu waved his hand, looking into Quan Quan’s eyes as if he could penetrate his soul. “And I believe you. Your self-control is extraordinary; all behaviors are calculated, and you won’t do anything to harm your secretary’s responsibilities at this time.”

Quan Quan was a little speechless, and the topic ended with his sneer.

After turning off the lamp, the two people squeezed their quilts together. Qiao Guang Yu wrapped himself in the quilt and asked softly, “Are you asleep?”

“No,” Quan Quan said.

Qiao Guang Yu said, “Brother Quan, do you remember when my contract expires?”

Quan Quan’s voice sounded a little vague: “By the end of this year, on December 27, there are still over two months left.”

“You have a good memory.” Qiao Guang Yu said.

“I remember the details of all the important contracts my boss has signed,” Quan Quan said. “A good secretary must be extraordinary, else the people below will eliminate him sooner or later.”

Qiao Guang Yu asked, “Are you born to remember so many things?”

Quan Quan, “Rote memorization.”

” Three hundred and sixty lines and none of them are easy to do!” Qiao Guang Yu sighed sincerely, thinking that, tonight, he understood the difficulty of the saying to accompany a king is like accompanying a tiger. After listening to Quan Quan’s words, he felt somewhat inferior to Quan Quan and knew that Quan Quan’s position was not simple.

He paid a lot to have the indispensable status of Huo Zhou’s right-hand man.

He was always calm and thoughtful, so no one noticed that Quan Quan was also a person, not a machine.

Qiao Guang Yu smiled and said, “I feel I’m a little too dependent on you.”

Quan Quan, “What?”

Qiao Guang Yu, “When I have difficulties, the first person I think of is you.”

Quan Quan seemed to chuckle lightly, and Qiao Guang Yu thought he heard it wrong.

“Yes, the boss wanted to find a substitute, and I sent you to him.” Quan Quan paused and then whispered, “I feel guilty for you because I was not thoughtful enough. This makes your current situation so embarrassing. In fact, no one can be another person’s stand-in. No matter how much you act like it, your behavior still carries your own personality. No one can erase this from you. If I let you stifle yourself, lose yourself, and force you to become someone else, then even if I’m not an executioner, I am the hand that delivered the knife, and I feel guilty.”

“No … it’s not as serious as you said. Isn’t it ok now?” Qiao Guang Yu couldn’t help but say, “You helped me a lot, and the pros and cons are canceled out.”

Quan Quan said nothing. He just took out his hand from his warm quilt, touched Qiao Guang Yu’s head with his big palm, and took it back.

After about ten minutes of silence, Qiao Guang Yu felt his rapid heartbeat and suddenly asked, “Do you like me? I mean … after two months, I will be free. Do you want to … “

“Sleep.” Quan Quan interrupted him with a cold voice.

Qiao Guang Yu could feel that he didn’t want to say more, and even if he asked later, he might not get the desired answer.

He felt a little down, but Ok, he could bear it. Maybe because he was not alone and felt highly secure or was exhausted from the tiring day, Qiao Guang Yu quickly fell asleep and didn’t even dream.

Quan Quan was up before dawn.

People with a very active brain had often difficulties falling asleep. There was no reason to waste time lying in bed with his eyes open. Quan Quan sat up carefully. The mattress was very elastic, and he was worried that he would disturb Qiao Guang Yu.

However, he worried too much. Qiao Guang Yu slept very deeply. He had rolled over along the seams of the mattress, with the quilt under him; his hair was messy, and his pajamas were also rolled up, revealing a section of his white and soft waist. His mouth was slightly open in his sleep, giving him a silly look.

Quan Quan was silent for a few seconds, then covered him with his quilt and got out of bed to dress and wash.

By the time Qiao Guang Yu woke up, it was already daylight. When he faced Huo Zhou again, he felt more at ease, and Huo Zhou either didn’t take the matter of the night before seriously, or he regarded it as never happening, forcibly forgetting it.

Qiao Guang Yu didn’t mention it either, so the matter was smoothed over.

After breakfast, Quan Quan drove them to the cemetery.

Early in the morning, Quan Quan had bought joss sticks and fresh lilies and put them in the car’s trunk, so as soon as they got out of the car, they could take all the things to the cemetery.

Huo Zhou asked Quan Quan to wait while he accompanied Qiao Guang Yu to the black tombstone where Qiao Guang Yu’s mother was buried.

The clear and refreshing autumn and the sunshine dispelled the cemetery’s cold and damp air. The woman in black in the photo didn’t look much like Qiao Guang Yu, but she seemed to be a gentle and beautiful woman. Smiling at the camera did look a little like Qiao Guang Yu.

Huo Zhou took out the joss stick and lighter from the plastic bag, and Qiao Guang Yu quickly took over. “I’ll do it.” He didn’t dare let Huo Zhou do it himself.

He quickly lit the incense and the candles and then symbolically burned a few coins. Qiao Guang Yu whispered to the tombstone, “Mom, we can’t have a fire here. Don’t be surprised if we extinguish the candles when we leave here.”

He thought his contract was about to expire, so he could do whatever he wanted in the future. Since he didn’t have to disguise himself anymore, his words showed an unconscious briskness and happiness. Of course, he couldn’t say so directly. “Mr. Huo … is very good to me. In the future … I will live well, so I don’t want you to worry.”

Scratching his head, Qiao Guang Yu had nothing else to say. He could never voice some of his thoughts in front of Huo Zhou, so he could only say, “then … I’ll come to see you next year.” Maybe I can see you with Brother Quan, he added in his heart.

“Sorry.” Qiao Guang Yu stood up, apologizing to Huo Zhou, and laughed. “I let Huo Zhou wait for a long time.”

Huo Zhou came over and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t be sad. I will take care of you later. You … have been with me for two years, right?”

“Nearly three years,” Qiao Guang Yu blurted out.

Huo Zhou was stunned as if he had thought of something, and his face suddenly worsened. His hand on Qiao Guang Yu’s shoulder also uncontrollably increased its strength. He pinched Qiao Guang Yu, but he didn’t dare move. Huo Zhou took a deep breath and tentatively asked, “Have you thought about what kind of work did you want to do in the future? What major did you study in university?”

” … computer major. I’ve never thought about what to do. I was pleased to have a job at the time. There is a lot of competition for fresh graduates.” Qiao Guang Yu smiled lightly.

In fact, his palms were all sweaty. Qiao Guang Yu had been with Huo Zhou for so long that seeing his face become ugly, he secretly thought it was not a good sign. He didn’t deliberately remind Huo Zhou that the contract was about to expire.

Huo Zhou squinted. “Speaking of which, you have five million in your hands. Have you ever thought about what to do with it?”

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Qiao Guang Yu’s forehead. He looked at Huo Zhou’s scrutinizing eyes, and the only thing he had in his heart was: Brother Quan! Help!
