Chapter 49: He Had Been Yearning for This Hug for Too Long (1)
If Yu Qinghuan was sober now, he would definitely notice something ain’t no right about Huo Qu.
Pity that his brain already stopped working due to the alcohol, so he couldn’t think of anything.
On hearing him, Yu Qinghuan thought Huo Qu felt embarrassed because he even didn’t know how to boil water, so he didn’t want Qinghuan to look at him.
"It’s OK, Huo Qu," Yu Qinghuan just let him cover his eyes, "Don’t feel ashamed for this. You are just not good at such trivial things."
Afraid that he might misunderstand, Yu Qinghuan then added, "Like you are good at Physics, which I don’t know a bit, while I know how to cook and boil water, which can’t do. That’s a normal thing."
Huo Qu was the best god-sent gift, so he would try everything he could to protect him and never let his soft and unique heart get hurt by this world.
It’s not like that! Huo Qu didn’t know how to explain but could only shake his head involuntarily.
He never cared about things that had nothing to do with Qinghuan. He was just afraid he might do something hurtful to Qinghuan driven by that kind of strange but strong feeling.
Especially when Qinghuan looked at him with that pair of smiling eyes, he nearly couldn’t hold it and pressed him against his chest hard. Only he could see him and touch him.
"Qinghuan," Huo Qu whispered bitterly, "I’m a monster. I…I am different from others. I…actually I’ve been thinking…of owning you…and letting you stay by my side forever."
He thought he would be totally screwed, and Qinghuan would feel scared of him and stay away from him like others did. But he didn’t know how to tell a lie and he could not lie to Qinghuan.
"Qinghuan, am I a mess?"
"Of course not," Yu Qinghuan took his hand down, then looked at him attentively, "Huo Qu, every person living on this planet, is an unique gem different from others. You are just a more unique and more shining gem than the common ones. But it doesn’t mean you are a freak. On
He then added, "Huo Qu, you are so smart, you will think it through, right?"
"But…"
"No buts," Yu Qinghuan stroke his head, "Actually I’m kind of jealous of you."
Huo Qu popped his eyes out, wearing an unbelieving expression.
"I’m serious," Yu Qinghuan smiled gently, "You are smart and the job you are doing matters a lot. This world will do without an actor Yu Qinghuan, but will not do without a scientist Huo Qu."
Maybe because of the alcohol, Yu Qinghuan spitted out those words deep down in his heart, "You have your parents and your brothers. They care about you. Wherever you are, you are always the most needed one."
"But as for me," He forced a smile, "anyone can do without me."
"No, Qinghuan!" His depression different from before stung Huo Qu’s heart, who immediately blurted out without hesitation, "I…I can’t do without you."
He racked his brains to organize his words, "Except you, I want no one!"
"I know." Feeling his awkward care, Yu Qinghuan smiled, "You are so sweet, so thoughtful, I also want you to stay with me forever."
After a moment, the smile on his face faded away, and he said to Huo Qu seriously, "So you see, wanting to own the most important friend to yourself is not something bad. Don’t feel awful about it. Actually we are the same."
"Really?" Huo Qu’s eyes shone. So such feeling is normal? He is not a mess or a freak. Qinghuan also feels the same way!
"Of course." Yu Qinghuan stretched out a hand and gently tapped his forehead, "So don’t overthink things. Studying Physics is the thing you should do."
"Hm!" Huo Qu nodded, and the way he looked at Yu Qinghuan was full of admiration.
A problem that has perplexed him for so long is solved by Qinghuan with only a few sentences. Qinghuan is awesome!
But…
He puckered up his lips shyly, and after rubbing the ground with his tiptoe for a little while did he mutter, "Qinghuan, I…I want to hug you. Is that also normal?"
"Of course, but you can’t."
"Why?" Huo Qu immediately looked disappointed.
Looking at his careful and wronged expression, Yu Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then he opened his arms, "I was kidding. Of course you can hug me."
The next second a strong and warm body already held him tightly.
In the kitchen of winder, everywhere was freezing cold, except this person before him.
Yu Qinghuan thought, not only Huo Qu, he himself had always yearning for such a hug.
Even if he would be single for the rest of his life, the warmth he absorbed from this hug could support him to keep going.
In a quiet and warm atmosphere, Yu Qinghuan leaned his head against Huo Qu’s head lazily, saying, "Today I’m gonna teach you another important principle of life. Sometimes when someone says no to you, actually he means yes."
"Hm!" Huo Qu nodded. Although he was still confused, he already kept this sentence deep in his heart, and would use it often on Qinghuan…
