Chapter 119 - Side Story 29 – This Night was Doomed to be a Sleepless One. (Gu Ming Ren x Lin Jiang)

Gu Ming Ren took three years to complete his course credits at Columbia University.

Originally, two years would have been enough, but he went to Wall Street to test the waters. It seemed like that place had no differentiation between day and night but it was somehow invigorating.

When Gu Ming Ren was abroad, he called Lin Jiang almost every day. No matter how busy he was, he had to hear the other boy’s voice. After hearing Lin Jiang’s lively voice call him Ge, he would be in a good mood all day.

“I didn’t starve to death, neither did I go out to chase after boys. Chasing after girls is even more impossible! I miss you every day, Ge, so when are you coming back?” Lin Jiang held his phone, eating instant noodles while talking to Gu Ming Ren.

It wasn’t that he lacked the money for a meal, but it was just that instant noodles were simple and easy to make, and he was too lazy to prepare anything else.

“Another half a month, seventeen days.” Lin Jiang drew a circle on the calendar with a red pen.

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Gu Ming Ren only came back during the Chinese New Year and had to leave again within a few days. For three whole years, he was in a cross-border cyber relationship.

Like He Cheng Ming, Lin Jiang was considered to have settled down in the capital. Last year, he set up a fairly decent e-sports club. Although it was very costly, it couldn’t beat the awesomeness of his seme who remitted sum after sum of money to him. In addition to that, with the steady stream of profits from the project he invested in with He Cheng Ming, just the dividend was enough to feed him for a lifetime. Lin Jiang felt that this was the peak of his life.

But he still had to crack his fingers to pa.s.s the days, because his seme wasn’t back and there was no nourishment in his life.

“Only nine days? Ge! I’m starting to get nervous!” Today, it was sweet little cub Lin Jiang and his mouth was like honey.

Gu Ming Ren was having his graduation ceremony and randomly sent Lin Jiang two photos. The previous teenager had grown into the elite he was now, making Lin Jiang salivate. “Ge! You’re so handsome! Come back quickly!”

Now, Lin Jiang just wanted to take this photo and brag that this was his man!

“Only seven days, Lao Gong! I’m going to work out and prepare to drain you!” After mixing with He Cheng Ming for such a long time, Lin Jiang’s words were becoming more and more unfiltered.

But it was true that he needed to go to the gym. He had not exercised for a long time and his body was becoming stiff. If he couldn’t unlock the high-level postures when the time came, it would be so embarra.s.sing.

“Three days! Ge, have you booked your plane ticket?” Lin Jiang’s heart was beating intensely and he wished that he could go to the airport now to wait.

These three years, he had been very pa.s.sionate about his career but regarding his love life, it had been too endlessly long. So long that Lin Jiang could only see the other boy’s face and hear his voice repeatedly for three years, so much so that Gu Ming Ren was soaked into his blood and bone marrow.

“It’s booked.” Gu Ming Ren walked out of the airport, breathing in the capital’s unclean air and unable to hide his excitement.

He didn’t tell Lin Jiang that he was back early. The sweet little cub was becoming more and more tantalizing, counting down the days with him every day and causing him to be preoccupied with it.

As soon as he graduated from school, he immediately handed over the job he had on hand, rejected the company’s offer to retain him and returned home in the fastest possible time.

Gu Ming Ren took a taxi to Lin Jiang’s home, intending to give him a surprise.

“What time, I’ll pick you up!” Lin Jiang was eating an elaborate take-out meal but his appet.i.te was very poor. He took two mouthfuls and threw it aside.

“No need.” Sitting in the taxi, Gu Ming Ren refused indifferently.

Lin Jiang paused. “What do you mean?”

His mood was a little unstable and he hurriedly added, “You won’t let me pick you up?”

The fl.u.s.tered tone made Gu Ming Ren’s heart tighten and he explained vaguely, “The flight is too early. I’m afraid that it’ll affect your rest. I’ll be at your place first thing, okay?”

Okay my a.s.s!

Lin Jiang wanted to get angry. Trying twice to hold it in but unable to, he picked up the calendar on the table and pounded it fiercely against the wall. “When I’m at home, besides eating, all I do is sleep. I’m resting very well! Say whatever you want! ”

Lin Jiang hung up the phone, feeling extremely sullen.

He recalled what he had been doing these few days. He didn’t go to the club, looking forward to his call with the other boy every day. After hanging up, he would look at the time. In the end, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn’t even care and didn’t need to be picked up!

Lin Jiang ran his hand through his hair twice. He was very angry and swiftly changed his clothes. He had to go out to make waves!

Gu Ming Ren was a little uneasy and said to the taxi driver, “Sorry, please go faster.” Why did he have the feeling that the surprise was going to turn into shock?!

The car had just come to a stop when Gu Ming Ren left two bills behind and pushed the door open. He had very little luggage and carried a small box.

Gu Ming Ren looked at the high-end district in front of him. This place had been chosen by him for Lin Jiang. Just when he was preparing to enter, his gaze captured his fancily dressed sweet little cub on his way out.

Lin Jiang was caught off guard at the sight of his seme and was so shocked that his legs weakened, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.

Gu Ming Ren strode over while an excited Lin Jiang rushed towards him and hugged him. “You f.u.c.ker!! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back today?!”

Lin Jiang had long pushed his sullenness to the back of his mind and took a deep whiff of Gu Ming Ren’s familiar, cool scent. With a nasal tone, Lin Jiang said softly, “Ge, I miss you so much.”

Gu Ming Ren held his thin body tightly. He had really missed the other boy as well, but at this moment, he had to bring out the imposing manner of a seme. “If you miss me, where are you going dressed like that?”

As Gu Ming Ren spoke, he touched Lin Jiang’s waist and felt that the sweet little cub seemed thinner and lacked meat.

At this, Lin Jiang remembered and pushed the person in front of him away. “You have the nerve to say this?! Weren’t there three more days left?! Why did you come back early? You didn’t tell me you were coming back and even lied to me! I’m very angry now and wanted to go out to do my hair for you!”

To dye my hair green, humph!

Gu Ming Ren’s face was ashen and he confined the boy’s waist in his grip. “You dare!”

He grabbed Lin Jiang’s chin and immediately punished his boldness. In his warm mouth, two tongues entangled. Lin Jiang moaned, feeling the other boy’s body reacting. In broad daylight, he couldn’t help feeling a little embarra.s.sed.

“Aren’t you bringing me in? Hmm?” Gu Ming Ren gave a final suck of his lip, his voice already becoming unusually hoa.r.s.e.

Inside the apartment, Lin Jiang immediately counterattacked. The two of them had acc.u.mulated it for a long time, and it was like dry wood in a blazing fire, raging as soon as it was lit.

This night was doomed to be a sleepless one.
