Pastoral Daily Life

When Lu Lingxi washed his face in the morning, he noticed that his lips seemed a little swollen. Remembering what happened last night, he blushed and averted his eyes, trying to avoid looking at himself in the mirror.

He was used to Yan Yues usual gentleness, but last nights Yan Yue gave him the same hot and crazy feeling as that time when he confessed his love in the plant nursery. Lu Lingxi felt like he was suffocating several times, but Yan Yue still refused to let go of him and kept hugging and kissing him. In the darkness, Lu Lingxi looked into Yan Yues eyes, shining like the stars in the night sky, and the heat in them seemed scorching. After looking for a long time, he almost had the illusion that he would be swallowed by Yan Yue in one gulp. Fortunately, it was late when the two met, and Yan Yue didnt stay long and sent Lu Lingxi home before twelve oclock. An Jie had already booked a hotel, and Yan Yue had to rush back to Zhongjing the next morning.

Lu Lingxi thought of this, quickly washed up and sent a text message to Yan Yue.

“Big Brother Yan, are you up yet?”

When Yan Yue received the text message, he was already about to arrive in Zhongjing. He smiled at the content of the text message and sent one back, “Just got up and getting ready to go back to Zhongjing. Xiao Xi, dont worry.”

Lu Lingxi looked at the time. It was just a little after seven, so Yan Yue had rested well last night. He thought of calling Yan Yue when Wang Shuxius loud voice sounded outside, calling him to come out for breakfast. In a hurry, Lu Lingxi only had time to send a text message, “Big Brother Yan, have a safe trip.”

“Okay.”

Yan Yue looked at his phone with a gentle expression, while An Jie, who was driving, shook his head speechlessly. He finally understood what Ye Kang meant when he said that Yan Yue was a bit abnormal towards Lu Lingxi. Driving for five hours back and forth to Zhongjing just to see each other for less than an hour last night; it was true that falling in love made people crazy.

After receiving Yan Yues reply, Lu Lingxi put away his phone in a good mood and prepared to eat.

Wang Shuxiu gave him a bowl of porridge and cast a strange look, “Xiao Xi, what happened to your mouth?”

Lu Lingxi froze, reacted to what Wang Shuxiu was talking about, immediately lowered his head sheepishly and whispered, “…got bitten by a mosquito.”

“There are mosquitoes?” Wang Shuxiu was surprised. This year, apart from early July when there seemed to be mosquitoes, there hadnt been any mosquitoes in the house since. At first she was worried that there might be more bugs as there was grass outside, but in hindsight she realised that she had worried for nothing. It was almost October now, why were there still mosquitoes? Wang Shuxiu was puzzled for a while but didnt think too much about it and just told Lu Lingxi: “Go buy a mosquito incense later and light it in the house at night. Remember not to scratch the itch, and you cant rub anointing oil on your mouth, just bear it.”

Lu Lingxi nodded, his face almost buried in the bowl.

After a busy day, Lu Lingxi received a call from Yan Yue. The other party was on his way back to Fengcheng and was going to find him later. Lu Lingxi was a little surprised, and there was some secret sweetness in his heart. Lu Lingxi was not stupid; he knew what was the reason why Yan Yue was rushing so hard. He wanted to say that Yan Yue didnt need to work so hard and could take care of things in Zhongjing without worrying, but in the end he gave a soft “en” and whispered, “Big Brother Yan, Ill wait for you at home.” This feeling of being valued and taken to heart was so wonderful that Lu Lingxi was a little selfish and began to look forward to Yan Yues arrival.

For several days in a row, Yan Yue was rushing between the two places whenever he had time. An Jie simply was about to kneel in front of Yan Yue. Although when they were abroad, they were also busy working and running around several cities and the intensity was actually similar compared to now, when An Jie thought that Yan Yue had turned all his passion for work towards Lu Lingxi, his whole body was not feeling good. He was afraid that one day Yan Yue would suddenly throw up his hands and go off to raise flowers with Lu Lingxi, shifting all the companys business onto him.
