Chapter 59 - Gazing at a beauty.
Thank you Disasterspeaks & Samie for your Ko-Fis!
Had Kang Shengzhe been alone in the room, he would have taken off his mask a long time ago. But when he thought about the external injury at the corner of his mouth, the agony in his heart increased.
— They landed a hit when they were pinching my face just now, I’ve been disfigured.
Kang Shengzhe covered his own heart pitifully, but his thoughts went through an abrupt change as he asked his next question with some expectation: — Do you want to see it?
Rather than saying You Liangxing wanted to see it, it was more appropriate to say that it was extremely odd that he did not know how Ah Sheng looked like instead. After a night of tossing and turning, they finally met, and yet he had never seen the other party’s full appearance, so how could he possibly let that pass...?
Fine.... You Liangxing admitted to it frankly: “En.”
— Aiyo~
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes curved in response, and You Liangxing could perceive the smile under his mask with one glance. Seemingly pleased with himself, he held onto his phone and typed: — I’ll consider it.
You Liangxing: “......”
You still need to consider it... You Liangxing felt his own brows twitching as if it had a light seizure. But that was not the end of it– Kang Shengzhe’s body swayed from left to right as he handed his phone over again.
— Do you really want to see it?
You Liangxing: “......”
You Liangxing: “Are you going to take it off or not?”
Kang Shengzhe typed: — EMMMM.
Initially, he really wanted to prevent Liang Liang from seeing it but the situation was different now. The two of them were in the same room and the atmosphere was not bad either. The most important thing was that Liang Liang wanted to see him, and it made him a little restless.
However, the wound at the corner of his mouth... Kang Shengzhe made a decision in his heart: — How about this, I’ll turn off the lights.
You Liangxing: “... You’re turning off the lights?”
Kang Shengzhe: — En.
You Liangxing: “......” Then what’s the point of removing your mask?
You Liangxing wanted to hold his head out of ire. While he was working on suppressing the urge for the next few seconds, Kang Shengzhe, who probably realised how asinine his own proposal was, paused and thought about it a few more times: — Then, why don’t you wait for a bit, I’ll go and wash my hair and change my clothes first.
You Liangxing: “Ah?”
With aggrieved eyes, Kang Shengzhe typed: &#k2014; Someone wants to look beautiful for you.
You Liangxing: “&#k2026;&#k2026;” You don’t have to take it off anymore.
You Liangxing originally thought that Kang Shengzhe was kidding but he did not expect that the person would really nod his head and stand up to go to the bathroom. In an abrupt move, You Liangxing tugged the person back and grasped onto the person’s face with his hand. “Don’t move!”
The shout was usually capable of shaking a person to their core, and when it was done by a handsome man, it was usually the prelude to a bidong. Unfortunately, the sound was made by You Liangxing’s mouth and thus the deterring force was greatly reduced, and he had to rely on the strength he had cultivated from boxing to keep Kang Shengzhe where he was.
The distance between Kang Shengzhe and You Liangxing was very close. In spite of having his face held, Kang Shengzhe still managed to fumble for his phone to type: — YI!!!!!!!!?
You Liangxing could no longer bear it: “Shut your mouth.”
Kang Shengzhe: — I didn’t open it to begin with....
Violently, You Liangxing seized Kang Shengzhe’s phone from his hand and tossed it aside and glared severely at the taller man. Maybe because he was affected by his glare, Kang Shengzhe neither moved nor attempted to reach for his phone. Instead, he stared at You Liangxing quietly.
There were an arm’s length apart, and his quiet gaze seemed to affect a change in the atmosphere. You Liangxing felt like his hands had been scalded and he involuntarily moved away from Kang Shengzhe’s face. However, Kang Shengzhe suddenly took his hand and wrote in his palm.
One stroke at a time, skin gliding across skin.
— You take it off.
You Liangxing’s gaze swept across briefly. Underneath the illumination of the warm light emitted by the bedside lamp, Kang Shengzhe’s eyes were faintly curved into an arc as he looked at him deeply.
You Liangxing paused and knelt before Kang Shengzhe without a hitch. Raising his hand, he peeled the mask off his face.
In that short second, countless of guesses had flashed across You Liangxing’s mind. If a person’s eyes were shaped like this, what expression was the person making underneath the mask?
Was he smiling? And if he was, what kind of smile was it?
When he took off the mask, You Liangxing’s first reaction was to hook up his lips and give a similar, light smile.
As expected... It was a smiling visage that he could neither describe nor comprehend.
His elation suffused through the air quickly, and it was only with the subsequent look that You Liangxing took in the entirety of Kang Shengzhe’s appearance. There were no longer any traces of blood on his now clean face, and it scarcely differed from the first impression he had of the other party. The deep and profound eyes and brows were still the same.
If he wanted to make a contrast, his masked appearance made people want to take guesses about how he looked like but it would only remain as such, whereas the real person left a far more vivid impression of his exceptional beauty with one glance. Even though he had a blemish at the corner of his mouth, it did not affect his overall impression.
Some words were better said under the moonlight rather than a lamp’s shade where the admiring of a beauty was concerned; after scrutinising him for a good while, You Liangxing helplessly said: “You are beautiful.”
His expression was light and his words of praise were frank and natural. Even though his recipient was a man, nothing seemed amiss in the tone he used and he made it seem like what he was saying was a common fact.
The sentence took Kang Shengzhe by surprise and he stilled, a wave of heat rushing up to his head. Eagerly, he opened his mouth to speak but all sounds had to be made from his throat. With the injury he had sustained in his throat and in his haste, the only sound he could make was a wheezing noise.
You Liangxing: “......”
Kang Shengzhe: “......”
Kang Shengzhe twisted his body abruptly and fell back into the bed, ears turning red while You Liangxing’s shoulders started shaking. Time and time again, he tried to hold it back but he still let out a chuckle in the end.
Kang Shengzhe might be pretending to play dead on the bed but he did not forget to lift up his phone: — You didn’t hear that, you heard nothing!
As much as You Liangxing wanted to pretend that he heard nothing, he could not press down his laughter and it took him a while before he could finally stop. Towards the unmoving Kang Shengzhe who was lying on his stomach, he said: “Sit up.”
Kang Shengzhe did not move. However, when he eventually got up, You Liangxing noticed that his ears were not the only part of him that was red because his face was aflame too.
Despite having such a huge body, the changes to his complexion was rather fast.
Kang Shengzhe sneaked a few glances at You Liangxing and typed: — Was what you said just now true?
You Liangxing: “What?”
Kang Shengzhe: — The praise that you said.
Upon introspection, You Liangxing could not help but stiffen. At that point in time, he had spoken what he felt and less of what he had thought through. Had he thought it through back when, he might not have said it out loud.
You Liangxing knitted his brows together, “... En.”
Kang Shengzhe: — Then, can you say it one more time?
You Liangxing: “......”
Kang Shengzhe: — Say it again.
It was fine when he said it offhandedly, but to ask him to say it willingly now posed some difficulties. You Liangxing had been wavering when he abruptly said: “You’re bleeding.”
Kang Shengzhe was surprised but he thought he was just joking. You Liangxing repeated himself while he pointed at the corner of his mouth, “Blood.”
Kang Shengzhe reached up to touch it and sure enough, he felt something wet on his fingertips. Brushing against it, he typed: — It’s fine.
It was fine initially, but his actions had smeared a streak of red along his clean jaw. Frowning, You Liangxing simply said: “You should stop touching it, where’s your medicine?”
Kang Shengzhe’s eyes brightened and he immediately pointed towards the table surface.
— Liang Liang, are you going to apply the medicine for me~? Liang Liang~ Why are you so nice?
You Liangxing felt like he was about to be annoyed to death so he took Kang Shengzhe’s phone and flung it away again.
Seating himself in front of Kang Shengzhe, You Liangxing wiped away the bloodstains on his chin before applying the ointment. The process only took a minute or two but Kang Shengzhe kept staring at him and it made You Liangxing feel suffocated.
He did not hate it, but he had never experienced such an intense gaze before and it made his heart terribly distracted.
But he had already started. Remembering that Kang Shengzhe had taken a stick to the back, You Liangxing realised that the bruise would be difficult to reach on his lonesome. “Turn over.”
Kang Shengzhe was very obedient and he immediately turned around. You Liangxing pulled his shirt up to reveal his entire back, and he did not know if it was because his skin was suddenly exposed to the cold air, but Kang Shengzhe’s body stiffened.
You Liangxing murmured, “It’s bruised.”
Kang Shengzhe could not speak but he used his nose to utter a nasal sound to signal that he heard him.
There were no words between them; one was not fond of speaking and the other could not speak. You Liangxing squeezed the ointment in the palm of his hand and smeared it on Kang Shengzhe’s back. The ointment was cold but his hands were very hot and it made You Liangxing’s movements stutter for a brief movement. After his job was done, he immediately retreated to the sofa that was away from the bed.
He did not know why, but he only felt that there was something wrong with the situation after he was done.
Even though he knew something was wrong, he could not place his finger on what it was exactly. Therefore, You Liangxing frowned and stated, “I should go.”
These words successfully made Kang Shengzhe snap his neck back, and fumble for his phone in a hurry.
— Going back home?
You Liangxing nodded, and Kang Shengzhe followed up swiftly: — It’s after eleven, it’s too late, just stay over tonight.
You Liangxing was about to refuse when Kang Shengzhe said: — Furthermore, we’re both men, there’s nothing wrong with staying overnight.
The glint in his eyes disappeared as quickly as it came.
Those words were like a reminder, and in an instant, You Liangxing suppressed the unnatural feelings he had. Thinking about it, he eventually nodded. “....En.”
The author has something to say: In short.... EMMMMM, congratulations to KK and Liang Liang for getting into ♂ bed ♂ today.
Meanwhile, the translator: Holding her head as she translates this absurdity as her mind sinks deeper into the gutter with every sentence...
