Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

160. At Ease with the Comfort

Translator: 怀旧

Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He rubbed Yan Chuyang’s face and said, “This is your own decision. If you regret it, don’t blame me.”

Yan Chuyang frowned, “Why blame you? You never stopped me.”

Yan Chuyang was the one who stopped himself.

He was lying. All the reasons for not going were excuses for self-deception.

Lack of experience? Not wanting to leave school? All lies.

In fact, he couldn’t bear to leave Wei Qing, and his cooking.

He had no big dreams. He was shortsighted

He would be at ease with comfort. He didn’t want to go far away.

“Alas!” Yan Chuyang sighed in distress. He really wanted to slap himself in the face. He gave up on his dream for so many years for a man. He was really worthless!

He used to hate people with little ambition. How could he have become such a person?

Was that how life played tricks?

But no matter how unwilling he was, he still had to smile, because this was his own choice after all.

“Have you made up your mind?” Wei Qing looked at Yan Chuyang’s eyes, saying, “No matter what, I don’t want you to regret it.”

‘And I certainly didn’t want you to blame me.’

This was Wei Qing’s thought and his strangest idea. He didn’t want Yan Chuyang to complain about him, not in the least, while he was playing all kinds of tricks with Yan Chuyang.

“I will not regret it,” Yan Chuyang raised his head and looked at Wei Qing, saying, “This is my decision.”

Wei Qing sighed and kissed Yan Chuyang’s forehead, murmuring, “Remember what you said today.”

“Mmm,” Yan Chuyang nodded and said, “Help me put my luggage upstairs. I’d like to call Mr. Yamashita  and apologize.”

Wei Qing responded and stood up from the chair.

He carried the luggage upstairs and Yan Chuyang sat on the chair.

From beginning to end, Yan Chuyang was calm as if not being able to go to Japan was a piece of cake for him.

It wasn’t until Wei Qing disappeared from the corner of the stairs that the calm mask on Yan Chuyang’s face was suddenly torn off. He heaved a sigh, and sank into the chair with downcast eyes.

Wei Qing stood on the second floor and stared at Yan Chuyang’s worried face.

He knew how messed up Yan Chuyang was inside now.

Actually, Wei Qing knew that as long as he told Yan Chuyang that he didn’t have to be so upset. Even if he chose to go to Japan, nothing would change.

They would still be couple. He would call him, or kiss him every night. As long as Yan Chuyang wanted to see him, he could fly to see him at any time.

As long as Wei Qing said these, Yan Chuyang would surely get over it and go to Japan to fulfill his dream.

However, Wei Qing didn’t want to say that.

He could guarantee that he would not change his mind during these six months.

But he couldn’t guarantee that Yan Chuyang would do the same.

Yan Chuyang was so young. The things he saw, the temptation he met, and the bottom line in his heart, everything was weaker than Wei Qing.

Six months, in such a long period of time, who knew what would become of him?

Yan Chuyang was already excellent. If he continued to develop, he would definitely attract a lot of attention.

A boy like him in his late teens, with many people coming and going, maybe would meet a girl he liked.

What if he had a crush? What if he forgot about him? What if he slept with another girl?

Just thinking about it like that, Wei Qing felt like the restlessness in his heart was like a beast with no vent, suffocating.

Wei Qing’s eyes flickered. He sighed, tugged at his collar and thought darkly.

He still couldn’t let Yan Chuyang go.

He couldn’t let Yan Chuyang go before he figured out how the boy felt about him.

It didn’t matter if others thought he was selfish and domineering.

After all, their marriage was started by him. He didn’t say stop, then nobody could terminate it.

Although Yan Chuyang regretted not being able to go to Japan, the regret gradually faded with the comfort of Wei Qing’s good food for several days.

Early in the morning.

Yan Chuyang was pulled out of the bed by Wei Qing at five o’clock. He freshened up with his eyes closed and went out to run.

Ten minutes later.

“I can’t run any further…” Yan Chuyang, dressed in sportswear, leaned over the railing and panted, “I can’t run anymore.”

Wei Qing turned his head impatiently and trotted to Yan Chuyang’s side. Looking at his pale face, Wei Qing said, “Useless. You’ve only been running three laps around the house and you’re stuck. ”

Yan Chuyang straightened up and gritted his teeth,saying, “Don’t you know how big your villa is?Running around your villa once must be a thousand meters, three laps is three kilometres! You think that everyone has your lung capacity and can run all this time without getting out of breath?”

Wei Qing trotted on the spot and said, frowning, “This has nothing to do with lung capacity. It’s about your weak body.”

Yan Chuyang leaned powerlessly over the railing and whispered, “I don’t want to talk to you. I have to take a break.”

Wei Qing patted Yan Chuyang’s shoulder. “Even if you don’t want to run, don’t stay here. Try to move your legs with slow walk, or you’ll get leg cramps later.”

Waving his hand, Yan Chuyang said, “No, I’m very tired. I want to have a rest.”

Wei Qing sighed, stopped running, crouched down and deftly patted Yan Chuyang’s shin to loosen his muscles.

Yan Chuyang sighed comfortably and leaned lazily against the railing.

After patting for a while, Wei Qing suddenly asked, ” Are you free this noon?”

Yan Chuyang pondered for a while and answered, “Yes. I have no class at noon.”

“Then go to the hospital with me.”

“Why are you going to the hospital?” Yan Chuyang was nervous, looked down at Wei Qing and continued, “Do you have a cold or something?”

“No.” After confirming that Yan Chuyang’s calf muscles were completely relaxed, Wei Qing stood up and said in a low voice, “Take you for a checkup.”

Yan Chuyang’s face changed and he turned away, avoiding Wei Qing’s eyes and saying, “No, I’m not sick. Why do I need a checkup?”
