Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

173. Why Can’t I Go?

Translator: JoyceYin

“What are you doing?”

“Have you gone out?”

“Why should I go out?” Wei Qing asked impatiently.

“To attend Chuyang’s award ceremony! It’s held in our school’s small theatre at 10: 00 am today. It is quite important.”

Wei Qing raised his eyebrows. “What kind of award ceremony?”

“Chuyang took part in a comic competition. Only two people in our school were competing in it, and only Chuyang made it to the final and won the top prize. When the secretary of our school heard the news, he was very happy and said that he was going to give Chuyang an honor to encourage the other students.”

Wei Qing replied, “Oh, I see.”

“Aren’t you coming?” Wei Yuan was startled. “This is the first time for Chuyang to accept an award on stage. Yesterday, he even told me that this award was a milestone in his life and his first step towards success, so it was very important for him. He invited many people over. Everyone in my dorm are coming, and then…”

Wei Yuan’s voice gradually lowered. After a moment of silence, he asked carefully, “Wei Qing, did Chuyang not tell you about it?”

Wei Qing pulled a long face and kept silent. He was bitterly disappointed.

‘He told Wei Yuan, his roommates, and other people who he felt were important for him, but he didn’t tell me.’

‘Perhaps in his heart, I couldn’t even compare with his roommates.’

The silence on the other end of the phone made Wei Yuan tremble inside. He hurriedly said, “Wei Qing, don’t think too much. Maybe Chuyang was too busy and forgot to tell you that. He did not mean to ignore you…”

“Did he tell Song Huaiqi?” Wei Qing suddenly interrupted him and asked in a low voice.

“Yes,” Wei Yuan said, “Chuyang seemed to invite him first. When Chuyang made calls, I was just beside him…”

Wei Yuan was stunned instantly. He slapped his mouth and explained in panic, “Chuyang… Maybe Chuyang… Please don’t misunderstand him…”

“I gotta hang up,” Wei Qing hung up the phone after saying those words expressionlessly.

“Ah!” Wei Yuan scratched his hair with remorse. ‘What the hell was I talking about? I was really stupid!’

‘Did I mess things up again?’

‘God! I should kill myself.’

As Wei Yuan was thinking about it with worries, he happened to bump into a willow tree. He clenched his teeth and tried to slam his head against a nearby tree. Before he bumped into the tree, someone held the back of his head and pulled him away.

“What are you doing?” Guo Hanxin rubbed Wei Yuan’s forehead and asked coldly with a dark face, “You think your head is tough enough, huh? You are trying to kill yourself, huh?”

Wei Yuan came back to his senses and hurriedly took two steps back. He shook off Guo Hanxin’s hand and said, “Guo Hanxin, when did you start following me? Why do you keep showing up in front of me?”

“Me?” Guo Hanxin snorted, “Huh! Don’t you know that you’re flirtatious? I was seduced by you and had to follow you!”

Wei Yuan screamed and covered his ears. “You’re sick! You… Hmm….”

Guo Hanxin suddenly covered Wei Yuan’s mouth with his hands and leaned closer to him. He grinned and whispered, “I’m sick. I’m crazy, right?”

Wei Yuan stared at Guo Hanxin and shook his head, trying to get rid of Guo Hanxin’s palm. However, Guo Hanxin was much stronger than him, so he could not get rid of Guo Hanxin at all. What’s worse, as he kept shaking his head, his mouth was constantly rubbing against Guo Hanxin’s palm. That warm and itchy feeling made the hairs on his back prickle.

“Huh!” Guo Hanxin smiled and approached Wei Yuan. He stared at Wei Yuan’s eyes and muttered, “Don’t deny that you are flirtatious. You take any chance to rub against me, don’t you?”

Wei Yuan was completely angered by Guo Hanxin. He immediately stomped on Guo Hanxin’s foot, but what frightened him even more was that Guo Hanxin did not react at all. He did not even blink his eyes, but Wei Yuan’s calf hurt.

“Uhh… Guo Hanxin!” Wei Yuan stammered and roared, his eyes blazing with anger.

Guo Hanxin chuckled. He was happy to see Wei Yuan’s angry face. After covering Wei Yuan’s mouth for a long time and confirming that Wei Yuan had gradually calmed down, he lowered his head and whispered, ”

“Are you calm now?”

Wei Yuan stared at him without saying a word.

“If you’re not, I will continue to cover your mouth. I really like your warm breath in my palm. It’s itchy and comfortable.”

Wei Yuan’s shoulders trembled. After a moment of silence, he suddenly closed his eyes and nodded.

Guo Hanxin withdrew his hand in satisfaction and let go of Wei Yuan. “If you had been obedient to me earlier, I would have let go of you earlier.”

As soon as Guo Hanxin withdrew his hand, Wei Yuan hurriedly bent his waist, gasping for air, his face flushing.

Guo Hanxin patted him on the shoulder. “I covered your mouth this time. Next time, I’ll kiss you. Be mentally prepared. You might be even more out of breath than this time.”

Wei Yuan suddenly straightened his shoulders and shook off Guo Hanxin’s hand. He suddenly ran forward in strides and roared, “Guo Hanxin, I am telling you I am not gay. If you keep pestering me, I… I’ll call the police!”

There weren’t many people on the road, but there was a young couple walking. When they heard Wei Yuan’s words, they all turned around to look.

Guo Hanxin glared at them. “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen two men dating before?”

Seeing his fierce look, the young couple turned back wisely and continued to walk forward.

Guo Hanxin looked at the back of Wei Yuan, who had run away, and his eyes dulled.

He seemed to have scared Wei Yuan.

This was not his intention. He originally wanted to pamper Wei Yuan.

Did he reveal his feelings for Wei Yuan too clearly?

No, no, no!

He sighed and loosened his collar. He thought to himself, ‘I shouldn’t scare him anymore. No matter how much I like him, I have to suppress my feelings for him. It would be better if he agreed to date me voluntarily. In that case, I would not be hurt by him.”

He decided not to cover Wei Yuan’s mouth again next time no matter how itching he was to do that.

After walking around the living room twice, Wei Qing calmed down and went into his bedroom to change his clothes.

He must go. Whether he was invited or not, he was Yan Chuyang’s husband, the most important person for Yan Chuyang. Why couldn’t he go to attend such an important award ceremony?
