Extra Chapter: If Line is Like a Dream (1)
The early morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gauze curtains.
Xie Yang’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as he slowly awakened from a long dream.
He gradually opened his eyes, his pupils unfocused as he stared at the ceiling. It took a long time for his consciousness to return.
Xie Yang felt a soreness all over his body, as if he had been run over by a large truck, especially…
A pain, left from excessive use and friction, sent a shiver through him.
Especially the long, strong arm draped across his waist, firmly holding him in an embrace.
Xie Yang’s eyes widened in fear.
Even though he had never been in a relationship, he knew exactly what this meant.
Feeling the warm breath on the back of his neck and the shallow breathing of the man beside him, Xie Yang stifled his panic, covering his mouth in an attempt to suppress any sound.
His eyes instantly filled with tears as he cried silently, taking a long time to calm himself down.
He didn’t dare to move and could only quietly observe his surroundings.
This place didn’t look like a hotel; the room was warmly decorated, resembling a home more than anything.
A faint scent of gardenias filled the room. A figure briefly flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
His memory lingered on yesterday—the 9th, the last day of the college entrance exams.
After the exam, he returned to Liu Li Village. He hadn’t even eaten dinner; he just hastily took a shower and went to bed early.
Even now, his mind felt hazy, as if he were falling into a deep abyss.
He couldn’t figure out how he had ended up here.
He still remembered the exam questions from yesterday, the classmates saying their final goodbyes, the bus he had taken, and even the passersby he had seen on the street.
Those scenes replayed over and over in his mind.
So clear, so real.
Yet there was no memory of what happened after he fell asleep last night.
He had no recollection of how he ended up here, or how he had been intimate with the man behind him.
It was as if he had appeared in this room out of thin air.
He didn’t even know who the man was.
Tears silently streamed down Xie Yang’s face.
He didn’t know what had happened; all he wanted now was to go home.
Xie Yang carefully pried the man’s hand off him. The man’s touch felt inexplicably familiar, but Xie Yang was too exhausted to think about who he was. All he wanted was to leave quickly without waking the man.
To pretend this never happened.
But unfortunately, no matter how careful he was, he still woke the man behind him.
The man wrapped his arms around Xie Yang’s waist again, holding him tightly, and kissed his neck. His voice, still husky and tired from sleep, said, “Baby, no school today, sleep a little longer.”
The moment Xie Yang realized he had woken him, his heart began to race violently.
He was terrified, trembling all over with fear.
The man’s kiss made Xie Yang tense up, his fingers gripping the pillow so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Until the man spoke.
Xie Yang instantly froze. That voice—he would never forget it, no matter how many times he had heard it.
It was Qi Xu’s voice.
The boy he had secretly admired for two years.
There was no way he could be mistaken.
Xie Yang’s heart was beating like a drum. He wanted to look back and confirm whether the man holding him at this moment was Qi Xu.
But he was pressed by Qi Xu and could not move at all.
He looked down at the hand around his waist. The joints were distinct, the nails were round and clean, and the blue veins on the back of the hand were obvious. It was a pair of very beautiful hands.
The man seemed to be very attached to him and held him tightly in his arms.
This intimate posture did not look like a one-night stand.
Xie Yang knew clearly that he had not been so close to any boy, and even kept a certain distance from all his classmates and friends.
This kind of thing could not happen rashly.
It was impossible for him to be knocked unconscious and moved here after falling asleep.
He thought of many guesses, and the word “crossing” vaguely emerged in his mind.
He did not dare to think about it.
This behavior beyond scientific cognition is illusory.
He did not even understand what the opportunity for him to cross was.
Or is he still in a dream and can’t wake up.
Thinking of this, Xie Yang struggled slightly in the man’s arms. He wanted to see who the man holding him was.
Is it the man in his mind?
Feeling the movement in his arms, Qi Xu woke up slowly, hugged Xie Yang and turned over, pressed him under him, and looked at him sleepily: “What’s wrong, can’t you sleep?”
Xie Yang looked at Qi Xu’s familiar face, his pupils shrank suddenly, at this moment, he felt his heartbeat skipped a beat, and then it started beating wildly again.
Qi Xu…
The person who was hugging him intimately at this moment was Qi Xu.
The person who kissed his neck just now was Qi Xu.
The person who was pressing under him and talking to him now was also Qi Xu.
It’s just that the face in front of him is more mature than the Qi Xu he had a quick look at yesterday.
But even so, it was enough to shock Xie Yang.
Why, he was with Qi Xu.
Then, the person who made love with him last night…
The junction between reality and dream made Xie Yang’s mind blank, and his brain felt dense pain.
His face was pale, and his lower lip was bleeding from being bitten by him.
Qi Xu also noticed that something was wrong with Xie Yang at this time.
Xie Yang still had tears in his eyes, and his face revealed a look of fear, and the look he gave him was very unfamiliar.
Qi Xu felt fear at that moment.
He touched Xie Yang’s forehead and was relieved after confirming that he did not have a fever.
He cleaned it carefully last night, so there should be no residue.
Qi Xu gently wiped away his tears and coaxed him gently: “What’s wrong, did you have a nightmare?
Xie Yang shrank subconsciously.
He had never tried such close contact with anyone, not to mention that the person in front of him was Qi Xu.
He usually didn’t even have the chance to say a word to Qi Xu.
In the two years since he liked Qi Xu, he never dared to take a step forward, and never had such close contact with Qi Xu.
If this was a dream, then he and Qi Xu were lovers now?
How did they become lovers?
Xie Yang’s retreat made Qi Xu’s hand stay in the air, and he felt that something was wrong with Xie Yang.
His eyes had never made Qi Xu feel so strange, with temptation, defense, surprise, and disbelief.
It was as if they had returned to the beginning of their relationship.
Qi Xu supported his hands on both sides of him, carefully looked at his face, and coaxed him softly: “Did you have a nightmare about me?
Xie Yang nodded hesitantly.
It was related to him, but it shouldn’t be a nightmare.
His thoughts were very confused, and even he himself didn’t know whether he and Qi Xu were in a dream or he really traveled to the future.
Qi Xu kissed him, and placed soft kisses on his lips again and again.
“Baby, I love you the most, and we will never separate.”
Xie Yang held his breath, feeling very stiff at such an intimate move.
Qi Xu was kissing him.
And the words he said made Xie Yang’s mind “buzz“.
Qi Xu said he liked him.
Xie Yang was shocked by this sentence and was in a trance. He stared at Qi Xu blankly.
This must be a dream.
Xie Yang’s appearance made Qi Xu very worried. He picked up Xie Yang and looked at his body carefully. He frowned slightly: “Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
Qi Xu held his legs and wanted to check carefully.
Xie Yang came back to his senses. He was only wearing a loose T-shirt.
When Qi Xu picked him up, he didn’t understand what he was going to do until…
Such an intimate move could only be done by lovers.
And from Qi Xu’s familiar movements, this was obviously not the first time.
Xie Yang didn’t have time to think so much. He quickly pressed down the hem of his clothes and was very shy.
No matter how many times he and Qi Xu had been intimate in the future, this was the first time for him now.
Qi Xu grabbed his wrist to stop him from moving. He looked at him seriously and said, “Let me see.”
Xie Yang took a deep breath and his whole face flushed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He liked Qi Xu so much that when he learned that the person who had s*x with him was Qi Xu, there was only thrilling joy in his heart.
He didn’t know why Qi Xu was with him, nor did he know that Qi Xu liked him at that time because of a certain thing or a certain moment, but he could be sure that Qi Xu didn’t like him now.
During the three years of high school, he and Qi Xu had no chance to contact each other at all. Their relationship was very unfamiliar. He guessed that maybe there was some reason in the future that brought them together.
Before he figured out everything, he didn’t dare to act rashly, and he didn’t want to lose this hard-earned relationship.
Looking at Qi Xu’s worried eyes, Xie Yang had an indescribable feeling. He said nervously, “I’m fine.”
Qi Xu looked at him and saw that there were only some blue and purple marks on his body. There was slight redness and swelling but no bleeding. He checked it carefully before he felt relieved.
He gently wiped the tears from Xie Yang’s face
Frowning slightly: “Why are you crying?”
Xie Yang hesitated for a long time before explaining: “I had a nightmare.”
Qi Xu kissed his cheek and hugged him again, stroking the back of his neck and said: “What nightmare?”
Xie Yang: “A dream that I can’t wake up from.”
A dream that he doesn’t want to leave. I hope time will stay at this moment forever.
