Three Years and Three Years

Chapter 38: Obligation

Zhou Mushi remained silent as if he were dead. His skin was really not thick enough, and he couldn’t say it again for a while.

He simply closed his eyes and pretended not to have heard the sound of the chair falling to the ground with a sharp “clang” just now.

That person did not stop because Zhou Mushi remained silent, instead he walked to the front of Zhou Mushi’s “bed” in the dim light.

Through the thick darkness, he looked at the person who was pretending to be asleep with great effort.

Jin Yang stood still and watched without moving. If it were not for the sound of breathing, Zhou Mushi would have almost thought that there was a wax figure placed in front of him.

As far as Jin Yang was concerned, the person in front of him was simply the poison in his life, and according to the plan, he was not supposed to appear in his life.

But he appeared, and after Jin Yang reached out his hand without knowing the severity of the situation to grab him, it was like being infected with a serious addiction that couldn’t be shaken off no matter what.

He never thought that he would fall in love with someone of the same gender. As an extremely rational person, someone who tried to find all the shortcuts in life, he embarked on a steep and difficult path.

When they fell out, although he was sad, he secretly felt lucky. He should never let the person he liked suffer with him in the most difficult place.

If he could start over, he would still make the same choice without hesitation.

When they met again, he realized that the saying ‘loved ones are separated by mountains and seas, which cannot be crossed’ applied to him and Zhou Mushi…

He really shouldn’t have disturbed him again, but when Zhou Mushi looked at him, it was like he had triggered a seed of suppressed emotions in his heart. He didn’t care about anything and desperately wanted to get closer, not caring about anything else.

The pride he had in his self-control and rationality was lost in an instant. Jin Yang greedily looked at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to use his eyes to lock this person in his heart and permanently imprint him in his mind.

The worst thing about pretending to sleep is having someone watch you! It’s really annoying!

Zhou Mushi had been hoping that Jin Yang would leave soon, but not only did that person not fulfill his wish, but it also seemed like he had heard Zhou’s inner voice and was determined to stay put and confront him.

As he stared straight at Zhou Mushi, his eyelashes trembled, and he couldn’t keep up the act any longer. He impatiently sat up, opened his eyes, and looked directly at Jin Yang, saying, “Do you know how scary it is for someone to stand in front of your bed and watch you in the middle of the night?”

Jin Yang awkwardly wanted to step back, but he felt that he had been looking for such a long time, and stepping back now would seem too affected, so he chose to stay where he was.

“I…” He struggled to find the right words, and in the end couldn’t decide what to say, so he asked Zhou Mushi, “You weren’t asleep just now, so what you said earlier, was it true?”

In the darkness, Zhou Mushi’s face turned red, and he didn’t realize that the poor lighting meant that Jin Yang couldn’t see his trembling eyelashes.

At this point, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

“Can you give me a definite answer, whether you agree or not?”

He tried his best to sound impatient like an experienced in dating, but he was originally a good boy with a kind face, and even if he wanted to pretend to be a rogue, he couldn’t pull it off.

Jin Yang restrained the urge to smile, and tried to keep his expression in check as he replied in a gentle tone, “Okay.”

The fire in Zhou Mushi’s heart immediately ignited. What did “okay” mean? Did it mean that Jin Yang only wanted to sleep with him when they first started dating, and now he’s willing to accept being friends with benefits?

If Jin Yang said “no” at this time, he would probably be angry. What’s wrong with him? Does he look down on him? Anyway, no matter how he answers at this moment, Zhou Mushi is unhappy.

Jin Yang considers himself to know a little bit about Zhou Mushi’s personality, knowing that he is someone who is not easily swayed and even a “friends with benefits” relationship would not change that. Living under the same roof and engaging in intimate activities is a great opportunity to try and salvage their relationship.

He pretended to flip over the chair and lie down next to Zhou Mushi, which frightened Zhou Mushi and caused him to hold onto the blanket tightly, trembling as he asked, “W-what are you trying to do?”

Jin Yang couldn’t help but smile, “fulfilling the obligation of this relationship.”

“No, this is not appropriate, especially not in the office…” Zhou Mushi replied.

Tiny and dense kisses rained down, and Zhou Mushi finally understood the difference between being a boyfriend and being a “friends with benefits”.

Before, every time Jin Yang was gentle with him, but now that they have become “friends with benefits”, his kisses have taken on a more aggressive, masculine tone.

Teeth sank into Zhou Mushi’s lips, catching him off guard and robbing him of his breath.

Whenever Zhou Mushi showed even the slightest resistance, Jin Yang’s kisses became even more intense, leaving his mind dizzy and almost unable to think clearly.

When they were in a romantic relationship, even their intimate moments were filled with tenderness, but now all Zhou Mushi could sense was pure lust.

After shedding their former identities, Jin Yang seemed like a completely different person, disregarding any sentimentality and prioritizing the immediate gratification of their desires.

Zhou Mushi’s body had not been touched by anyone for years, and he was already quite sensitive. Now, he was unable to resist the various tricks that Jin Yang was using, and to make matters worse, Jin Yang was extremely annoying.

If their “friends with benefits” relationship were considered a job, Jin Yang was going all out, performing even better than he did as a highly praised director.

When a man takes his goal seriously, he can be both loved and hated.

No one expected this encounter to be so sudden and unexpected, with no preparations made, and their pants already off.

This is so embarrassing!

After that, Zhou Mushi didn’t know what happened next.

After the affair, if you really look at it from the perspective of a casual sex partner, Jin Yang should really receive a five-star rating.

Although Zhou Mushi had never been to those dubious places, he thought that even if someone paid for services, they might not be able to get such good ones.

After several years of hunger, Zhou Mushi’s body was finally satisfied and he fell asleep feeling a bit sore.

Jin Yang got his wish and lay on the same bed as Zhou Mushi, covering the sleeping person with the same small blanket.

A strong sense of happiness rose up from Jin Yang’s chest, and he was almost reluctant to fall asleep.

There were still many days ahead in the future, and he had a faint feeling that he would bid farewell to the days of yearning and restlessness, as he had his most beloved person by his side once again.

“Lost and found” truly was the best phrase to describe this situation.
