Chapter 49: “Because You Don’t Have A Watch.”

In the quiet corridor, every word of his flew into Yu Qinghuan's ears, so dense and so affectionate, like a glass of superb wine, even with a smell, Yu Qinghuan was already drunk in it.

His heart was trembling, and he almost couldn't help touching Huo Qu's face.

How could this man be so nice? How could he be so sweet? What had he done in his previous life to deserve him?

His heart was pounding in his chest. Yu Qinghuan closed his eyes and nearly wanted him to hold him like this until the end of the world.

But the wrinkled collar of Huo Qu's windcoat immediately brought him back to reality. Thinking of what Huo Qu might have gone through, he still felt very scared now.

If something bad happened to Huo Qu on his way here, if he could never make it here…

On thinking of those possibilities, Yu Qinghuan's heart ached as he barely could breathe. He pushed Huo Qu away, under Huo Qu's confusing staring, he pulled him in toughly and pushed him into the couch.

"Qinghuan…"Huo Qu tried to stretch out for his hand but he avoided him.

"Sit here and don't move!" Leaving these words, Yu Qinghuan quickly ran into the bedroom and came back with a square medical kit.

After fumbling in the medicine kit for some time, he finally took out a bottle of ethyl alcohol, which he half sprinkled and half poured and soaked the cotton swabs. Then he went to Huo Qu and ordered him with a cold face, "Look up!"

Huo Qu obediently raised his head, eyes directly looking into Yu Qinghuan's face, with all joys in them. He even forgot the pains of ethyl alcohol stimulating the wound.

"How did you get hurt?" Yu Qinghuan's voice was harsh but his action was very gentle, like Huo Qu was a fragile china doll.

"Got hit by a bicycle." Huo Qu said casually.

Speaking of which, he stretched out a hand trying to touch the wound Qinghuan had just applied some medicine, but got slapped off by Qinghuan.

"How could you!" With raging fire in his eyes, fists clenched, he yelled, "This is dangerous? You know? Don't you have your bodyguards? Where were they? Didn't they protect you? It's a bicycle today, tomorrow it might be…"

Yu Qinghuan felt a chest pain and swallowed the words left. When he looked into Huo Qu's confusing eyes, suddenly some kind of deep self-loathing rose in his heart.

If he hadn't avoided him all the time, how would Huo Qu have risked his life to come here? It was all his fault. He knew everything clearly in his heart but still god mad at him…

Huo Qu must have been frightened, thinking he had done something unforgivable…

Yu Qinghuan turned his face aside, so Huo Qu wouldn't see his red eyes. He tried to say in a calm voice, "Sorry, Huo Qu, I shouldn't get mad at you. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry…"

All his strength seemed to flow out with his anger. He stared down at the ground and mumbled, "If something had happened to you, what should I do?"

"Qinghuan," Seeing the drops rippling on the floor, Huo Qu got panicked and held Yu Qinghuan in his arms, trying to comfort him in inconsistent words, "I will be fine. Qinghuan…I…I am fine. Don't…don't be sad…"

He was the one who got injured but now tried to comfort him. Looking at Huo Qu who lost his head, Yu Qinghuan could no longer hold his tears.

"Qinghuan, don't be sad." Huo Qu didn't know how to comfort him, but could only make two circles there and then suddenly sat down. He held up Yu Qinghuan's face and said with a tone Yu Qinghuan had ever used to him, "Qinghuan, don't cry. It's my fault. It's all my fault."

He struggled to organize his words, "I…I will never come to see you." After a pause, he thought it was too hard for him to keep this promise, he then jittered to add, "But…but when I really missed you too much, I might still….I think I might still…come to see you."

Seeing Yu Qinghuan still didn't talk to him, Huo Qu nerved himself and lowered his head and kissed him on the face gently, "Don't cry. Qinghuan, be good. Don't cry."

Yu Qinghuan's body immediately went stiff. His conditioned response made him push him away, but emotionally he still didn't move a finger of his.

After quite some time, Yu Qinghuan finally came to himself. Looking at that pretty face right before his eyes, he put on a serious look and wanted to put things straight with him.

He stretched out his hand and flicked on Huo Qu's forehead, saying with a warning tone, "If you ever come alone like this, I'm gonna let you return the same way you came!"

He must teach him a lesson. Otherwise if he did this one more time, his heart really couldn't take it.

Huo Qu's eyes widened, as if he did not believe that Yu Qinghuan would be so cruel to him. He pursed his lips and wanted to protest, but then he suddenly thought of something, a cocky smile rose on his face, "But I know the way now. No matter how many times you ask me back, I will always make it here."

Huo Qu even dared to talk back now! When Yu Qinghuan was about to open his mouth, Huo Qu added, "But I'm afraid I can't take the same route when I go back, because I don't remember the way back,"

"Then how did you get here?" Yu Qinghuan thought he was playing a trick on him.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Qu said, "I just came, you know." Then he peered at Yu Qinghuan guiltily, like he was afraid Yu Qinghuan would think he was useless. After quite a while, he murmured, "I…I only remember the way to your home. As for other places…I really can't keep them in mind."

Yu Qinghuan nearly choked on his words. He nearly got collapsed again right after he regained his sense.

Huo Qu got wounds on his face. Yu Qinghuan was afraid as clumsy as he was, he might touch them when he washed his face. So got a wet towel to clean his face for him.

"If I touch your wound, tell me, you know?"

"Hmm." Huo Qu nodded. And then Huo Qu thought to himself, "Even if you touch it, I will not tell you, otherwise you will be worried about me again."

After taking care of Huo Qu, Yu Qinghuan recalled one important thing, "Did you tell your family that you came here?"

"No." Huo Qu shrunk his body restlessly, saying with a deep tone, "I was only thinking coming to see you." As for others things…he already left them behind.

The whole Huo family might have been off their feet now since their little son was missing. On thinking of such a scene, Yu Qinghuan felt his blood freeze. He immediately took up the phone and dialed Huo Rong's number.

However, to his surprise, Huo Rong's voice was so calm that he could not hear anything wrong, as if he had known Huo Qu's whereabouts, and even asked him to take good care of him.

Yu Qinghuan got muddleheaded and hung up the phone. He really didn't know what was going on.

He didn't know that at this moment, Huo Qong was right downstairs.

As early as when Huo Qu ran out, the bodyguards had already found it. But Huo Qu's father told them not to interfere in Huo Qu's stuff. Those bodyguards could only report it to Huo Rong.

On hearing his little brother run out, Huo Rong immediately wanted to go find him, but got stopped by his father.

His father sat on sofa, enjoying his tea, like he was not worried about his little son at all. He even said, "No one should disturb him. Let him do whatever he wants to do. He is an adult. You can not still take him like a kid!"

Huo Rong dared not go against his father, but he was really too worried. So finally, he could only follow Huo Qu behind secretly. He could only see he got knocked over by a bicycle when he was staggering to cross the road trying to find the way.

But he firmly remembered what his father said, so he tried his best to hold himself and only followed him behind.

Now after receiving Yu Qinghuan's call, he finally heaved a sigh of relieve and started the engine and went home.

Huo Qu hadn't had anything since the noon. Yu Qinghuan was worried he might be starving, so he quickly went to the kitchen and made him some food. Fortunately he had a habit of keeping his refrigerator stuffed. So even though he had been away for a few days, there were still a lot of frozen food in it.

He turned on the gas burner, heated the pan, quickly fried some shredded pancake, stuffed them with omelet, bacon and a few pieces of lettuce, "Eat some food."

Huo Qu nodded, took a big bite of the shredded pancake, while looking at Yu Qinghuan who was busy in the kitchen, some kind of strong desire rose in his heart.

How he wished that this moment could freeze. Only the two of them, Qinghuan only had him and he only had Qinghuan. That would be the happiest thing in the world.

Yu Qinghuan didn't feel Huo Qu's emotions. He poured a glass of warm water, asked him to eat slowly. After tidying up the kitchen, he went to the colony to make a call.

Only after a few sentences, he heard the sound of footsteps behind, he then looked over, as expected, Huo Qu was looking at him injuredly, like he was trying to say, "I am already here with you. Why are you still calling someone else?"

Yu Qinghuan smiled helplessly, tried to explain with some simple words and hung up.

Right after he hung up, Huo Qu came forward, "Qinghuan, who were you calling?"

"A watch retailer." said Yu Qinghuan while looking at him smilingly.

"Do you want to buy a watch?"Huo Qu frowned and then his eyes brightened, "I can buy one for you as a present, OK?"

Yu Qinghuan shook his head and poked at his dimpled left face."No, I want to buy it for you."

"For me…"Huo Qu's face slowly turned red. He looked at Yu Qinghuan and quickly looked away when he looked into his eyes.

After quite some time, he hesitated and whispered, "Why…why would you buy me a watch?"

Does Qinghuan want to send him a gift? This is the first time Qinghuan sends him a gift!

Yu Qinghuan smiled, "Because you don't have one."

Of course because I want to leave my trace in all your life, little fool!
