Chapter 41

Luo Yu wanted to kiss him longer. After days apart, finally being able to touch him again made the longing unbearable — he didn’t want to let go.
Fang Jing Yao, breathless from the kiss, started to push him back. Luo Yu leaned in again, copying his little teasing tricks, and Fang Jing Yao bit his lip lightly, forcing a small distance between them.
“Luo Yu, wait — I still have things to clear up!”
Luo Yu paused obediently, waiting. Maybe because he’d had some beer, his eyes were slightly glazed — soft, bright, and more irresistible than ever, the usual chill gone from his expression.
Fang Jing Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat. Then he said, “First, I owe you an apology. About Luo Yi — that’s on me. He came to find me today, and just like you said, his motives weren’t pure. I was too stubborn before. These past few days, I’ve fought a war with the little guy in my heart and already put him in his place. I won’t act on emotion again.”
Luo Yu’s gaze dropped to Fang Jing Yao’s chest, where he was pressing his hand. Fang Jing Yao used two fingers to gesture there — as if a tiny, proud, stubborn little man really lived inside that restless heart. Luo Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
Fang Jing Yao continued, “I cleared things up with Luo Yi today — completely. From now on, about him and that book, I want to trouble you to handle it for me, like you helped Yifan before. Whatever you need me to do, just tell me…”
By the end, he sounded a little embarrassed. He nudged Luo Yu’s shoulder and muttered, “That’s all I wanted to say. Now… what about you? Have you figured things out these past few days?”
Long Yu paused for a moment, as if he was thinking seriously.
Fang Jing Yao waited patiently. Dr. Long was always slow to warm up, but they had talked so much tonight and felt much closer to each other. He was willing to wait for him.
Long Yu gently stroked his hair, pressed his forehead against his, and whispered, “Luo Yi’s matter is only part of the story; a large part of the reason is myself. I’ve always remembered the you of the past. I’m thinking about that you. You’re not quite the same as the one I remember, but you’re still you. I like you very much, I like both of you so much.”
