Ch37 - I have a genetic disease.

When the alarm rang the next morning, Ye Fei was still asleep.

Although he went to bed early last night, he slept late. After hearing movement, he stretched out a hand beneath his blanket in a daze to search for his phone, but he could not press to dismiss the alarm even after a struggle. 

Already irritated, Ye Fei was about to further his endeavors when something warm pressed across the back of his hand. The next moment, the annoying ringtone disappeared completely.

Ye Fei’s brows gradually loosened, and he wanted to continue sleeping, but was filled with a vague sense of disquiet. There was something heavy resting on his waist, and his back felt warm, as though he was leaning against the fireplace.

 

 

What’s the situation? He rolled over with difficulty, groping around with his eyes closed.

His hand felt something warm, a bit like… Ye Fei opened his eyes. 

Yan Xiao was lying beside him in dark blue pajamas buttoned neatly but his sleeves were slightly rolled up. And Ye Fei’s hand was currently resting on that distinguished forearm.

 

Yan Xiao’s eyes were open and clear, as if he had been awake for a long time, but he did not stop Ye Fei’s movements.

“It’s you who took the initiative.” He reached out and caressed Ye Fei’s face, as if he wanted intimacy, but exploring Ye Fei’s limits as well. Ye Fei’s brain was still filled with sludge, and he could not react, nor could he speak.

Yan Xiao drew strength and courage from this. His right hand slowly descended, gently rubbing along the lines of Ye Fei’s face.

 

The atmosphere in the room instantly became delicate. Yan Xiao held Ye Fei’s wrist with one hand and intertwined his fingers. The other hand pressed Ye Fei’s shoulder and raised his upper body slightly.

The ramshackle wooden bed was overwhelmed and made a creaking sound, like a thunderbolt, smashing into Ye Fei’s heart.

Ye Fei was shocked and completely awake. He quickly pushed Yan Xiao away and stood up.

 

“I have something to do in the morning. You can continue to sleep.” 

Yan Xiao did not speak; he breathed slightly, and his heavy eyes fell on Ye Fei like a shadow. This caused Ye Fei’s neck to tingle like crazy. He took two sips of water before he could calm himself down.

“Why, haven’t you seen the physiological phenomenon in the morning?” Ye Fei suggested in a careless, nonchalant manner. He rummaged through his suitcase, grabbed two clean clothes and walked to the bathroom. When he passed by the bed, Yan Xiao suddenly stopped him.

“Ye Fei,” he said, his voice a little hoarse, “do you mind if I use the bathroom first?”

Ye Fei froze for a moment, before he realized what Yan Xiao needed to do. He glanced at Yan Xiao without meaning to, before turning his head in a sarcastic fashion. “You can do whatever you want.” 

By the time they were all packed, it was past nine o’clock.

“President Ye, President Yan,” When the assistant director saw them, he ran over happily and said to Ye Fei, “I’ve collated everyone’s requests. Did you see your WeChat?”

The assistant director was a foodie; this had pained him more greatly than choosing an actor.

Fortunately, he saved the contact information of the restaurant he ordered before, and immediately informed them to prepare before noon. Otherwise, if they had gone there in person to place an order, they might have to wait until the next day.

Ye Fei avoided the crowd, called the store, and came back after arranging everything. Yan Xiao stood outside the door with a luggage bag. 

“Got to go?”

Yan Xiao gave Ye Fei an affirmative “hmm” and told Ye Fei, “The flight is at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, but it’s too far from here to the airport, so I need to leave early.” Ye Fei nodded in understanding.

“Have a smooth journey, let me know when you arrive at Feng City.” After hesitating for a while, he added, “You don’t have to worry about me… After all, I’m the boss, and they don’t dare to treat me badly. See, they respect me.” He waved to the staff who passed by to greet him.

Yan Xiao chose not to make a comment on the matter, and instead quietly inspected Ye Fei, as if to recall the time that they had spent together. After a while, he asked, “When are you coming back?” 

“We’ll talk about it later,” Ye Fei gave a vague reply, “I still want to play here for a few more days, otherwise flying here would be a waste.”

Yan Xiao’s phone lit up. Ye Fei glanced at it unintentionally, and happened to see the notification on the screen. It was the driver’s reminder, telling Yan Xiao that he had arrived.

“Let’s go,” Ye Fei felt a little uncomfortable, but kept an indifferent smile on his face, “I’ll send you out.”

The two walked out in silence. When they were about to leave the shooting location, Yan Xiao suddenly halted and addressed Ye Fei. 

“Ye Fei,” he insisted, “Can you tell me when you come back?”

Ye Fei raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xiao. Yan Xiao looked at him with a simple tolerance, and fondness. It was as if no matter how many times Ye Fei rejected him, he would never change.

Ye Fei was hesitant; he had no idea how to go forward.

All along, he has been trying desperately to put boundaries between the two, trying to keep Yan Xiao away from him, but his efforts were in vain. Everytime Ye Fei took a step back, Yan Xiao took two steps forward, and Ye Fei had nothing to show for his efforts.

The wind blew tiny sand particles against Yan Xiao’s suit, making a slight noise. Yan Xiao should have stayed in a clean and bright office, but was in the desert picking out sand because of him.

Ye Fei closed his eyes and said, “Okay.”

For the first time in his life, the idea of putting his strings into Yan Xiao’s hands appeared in his heart. Whether they progressed or regressed was up to Yan Xiao; Ye Fei would accept everything.

Maybe after this, just let him dream. 

Yan Xiao, who got a positive answer, was very satisfied and did not ask Ye Fei for more. After getting into the car, he watched Ye Fei walk away before telling the driver to drive.

Although he had only been out for two days, work had piled up. Yan Xiao unlocked his phone, checked the messages he received when it was muted, and found that Cheng Minghao had called him fifteen times in total.

 

Just as he was about to call back, Cheng Minghao called again. Yan Xiao accepted.

“You finally answered.” Cheng Minghao breathed a sigh of relief over the phone. 

“Is something wrong?”

“It’s big news!” Cheng Minghao propped up one leg, deliberately trying to whet Yan Xiao’s appetite, “Promise to give me double the year-end bonus this year, and I’ll tell you.”

“Cheng Minghao,” Yan Xiao flatly uttered, “The amount of year-end bonus depends on your contribution value.”

Cheng Minghao did not feel guilty at all, and smirked, “I think rather than twice, this is worth ten times my normal contribution.” 

Yan Xiao quietly waited for his next words.

“I’ll send you the surveillance video from the carpark,” Cheng Minghao minimized the call application, clicked into WeChat, and sent the surveillance video he just edited to Yan Xiao, “You’ll know when you see it, remember to give me a big gift, I won’t accept if it’s any less.”

“I used to think you were miserable, but now I see that it was me who was miserable.” Cheng Minghao complained with bitterness. “I must be the only single dog in this world who has to worry over a married couple.”

Yan Xiao did not understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he simply ended the call and tapped on the video. 

Then, Yan Xiao saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.

In Feixiao Technology’s parking lot, Ye Fei stood there leaning against the pillar, staring at the direction of the entrance, as if waiting for something. A few minutes later, Yan Xiao’s car drove in.

Because his back was facing the monitor, Yan Xiao could not see the expression on Ye Fei’s face. But he could see that Ye Fei’s eyes kept following him. From getting out of the car to entering the elevator, his eyes had never left Yan Xiao.

The time in the upper right corner showed that it was the day of the accident. 

If he really cares about you, he will come in person, not just call. Cheng Minghao’s words kept echoing in his mind. Yan Xiao gripped his phone and repeatedly rewinded the surveillance video.

It was not a hallucination nor his imagination; Ye Fei had really come.

“Turn around,” Yan Xiao ordered the driver, “Go back.”

The driver thought he had heard it wrong, and continued to drive numbly. 

Yan Xiao looked at the driver in the rearview mirror. “Is there a problem?”

“Oh, okay.” The driver finally regained his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream and began to turn.

 

After Yan Xiao left, Ye Fei could not feel the urge to do anything. After sending the meal pick-up time to the assistant director, he sat on the bed in bewilderment.

He did not know where Yan Xiao was going, would the plane be delayed… He was already busy, if he was late, would it inconvenience him? 

Ye Fei rubbed his forehead to stop himself from those wild assumptions. Just as he took out his phone to search for some sand sculpture dramas, he heard a knock on the door. Assuming that the crew was trying to find him, he took no notice of the interruption and walked over while still looking at his phone.

“What—Yan Xiao?” Just like his sudden appearance a day ago, Yan Xiao was standing outside the door, watching him solemnly. Ye Fei calmed down the turbulence in his heart, tried his best to regain his senses, and questioned, “Did you leave something behind?”

Yan Xiao did not speak. He took a step forward, reached out and gently stroked Ye Fei’s cheek.

“You……” 

“Ye Fei,” Yan Xiao interrupted, “I saw the CCTV.”

Ye Fei was stunned and confused. “What?”

“The day I had the accident,” Yan Xiao clarified and stared at Ye Fe. “Why were you there?”

Ye Fei was silent. Yan Xiao had always indulged Ye Fei, but this time, he disregarded Ye Fei’s reticence. 

“Why were you there?” Yan Xiao repeated his question. Ye Fei flicked away Yan Xiao’s hand and took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket. Yan Xiao’s eyes picked up the lighter, recognizing it was one of the many he had brought from Jiangcheng.

Ye Fei bit the cigarette lightly, lowered his eyes and lit the cigarette. Yan Xiao peered down at Ye Fei’s thick eyelashes and the bridge of his nose. The rising white smoke ring obscured his face, hiding Ye Fei’s expression.

So Yan Xiao held Ye Fei’s shoulder and stretched out his hand to take his cigarette.

“How fierce,” Ye Fei chuckled lightly, leaned against the wall and stared out the window, and after a while, said, “Why did I come, don’t you know?” 

“I don’t know.”

“Yan Xiao,” Ye Fei looked at him, as if he had lifted some burden off his chest. He had let go of all restraint. “I am not with you, not because I don’t like you, but because I have a genetic disease.”
