Chapter 423 Don’t move.
Chapter 423 Don’t move.
The night is as dark as ink, dotted with stars, and the moonlight gently sprinkles in an ancient and elegant courtyard.
A breeze blew by, carrying with it a faint floral scent and a barely perceptible hint of ambiguity.
In the courtyard, under two intertwined wisteria trees, two figures stood quietly facing each other, yet seemed to be drawn to each other, unable to separate.
Li Minghui, a business tycoon known for his calmness and self-possession, seemed a little unusual at this moment.
His eyes were deep, hiding unknown emotions, and his lips were tightly pursed, revealing an indescribable struggle.
Opposite him stood his best friend, and also the secret hidden deep in his heart—Lin Yixuan, a man whose smile could warm the entire winter, and whose eyes always had a hint of mischief and unruliness.
"It's just my pride. I never allow anyone to touch my soft spot."
Li Minghui thought to himself that this pride was the solid defense line he had built through the ups and downs of the business world over the years.
However, at this moment, the defense line seemed to be quietly eroded by an invisible force.
"but now……"
Li Minghui's gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Yixuan's feet. Those small and delicate feet were stepping lightly on a bluestone slab in the courtyard, as if they could cross the invisible boundary at any time and step into the softest place in his heart.
......
Suddenly, Lin Yixuan's action broke the tranquility of the night.
A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a flash of his body, he quietly came to Li Minghui's side. His small foot, with a bit of mischief, gently stepped on the base of Li Minghui's thigh.
At that moment, Li Minghui felt a current running up between his legs, instantly destroying all his defenses and pride.
"Don't move."
Although Li Minghui tried his best to keep his voice calm, the slight tremor betrayed his inner panic.
He tried to push Lin Yixuan away, but found that his hands were as if under a spell and he couldn't move at all.
Lin Yixuan didn't seem to intend to give up. Instead of stopping, he increased the strength of his feet even more wantonly. His fleshy toes easily lifted the hem of Li Minghui's clothes and stepped directly on his tight abdomen.
A warmth spread through his skin, causing Li Minghui's body to react involuntarily.
"you……"
Li Minghui wanted to scold, but found that the sound was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and every inch of muscle in his body appeared unusually clear due to the tension.
At this moment, Lin Yixuan suddenly turned his head and smiled at Li Minghui. There was both mischief and tenderness in that smile, as if it could instantly melt all the ice in the world.
"No~"
He acted coquettishly, his voice softer than usual, with a hint of subtle charm.
Li Minghui opened his eyes and met Lin Yixuan's smiling eyes. A complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
He had never seen Lin Yixuan like this, so unbridled, yet so real, as if at this moment, all the boundaries between them had blurred, leaving only two hearts attracted to each other.
"What do you want?"
Li Minghui finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness and compromise in his voice.
Lin Yixuan put away his smile and his eyes became serious.
"Hui, our relationship should have had a conclusion long ago."
He spoke slowly, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Minghui's heart.
Li Minghui was stunned. He had never thought about this question.
He has always regarded Lin Yixuan as his best friend and strongest supporter, but he has never dared to face the strange feelings in his heart.
Now, being mentioned so bluntly by Lin Yixuan, he felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and breathing became difficult.
"I……"
Li Minghui wanted to say something, but found himself speechless.
He lowered his head, not daring to look into Lin Yixuan's eyes again, for fear that he would reveal more emotions.
Seeing this, Lin Yixuan sighed softly, then slowly squatted down and rested his head on Li Minghui's knees.
"Hui, I know what you are afraid of. But please believe me, no matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side."
His voice was gentle and firm, like a spring breeze, gradually melting the ice in Li Minghui's heart.
Li Minghui felt Lin Yixuan's warmth and determination, and unprecedented courage and determination surged in his heart.
He reached out and gently stroked Lin Yixuan's head, as if making a promise to himself.
"Okay, let's face it together."
At that moment, the moonlight seemed to shine brighter and the stars seemed to twinkle in recognition of their decision.
Li Minghui and Lin Yixuan, two souls originally hidden in their own worlds, finally found each other's home on this night.
As the night deepens, everything in the courtyard is immersed in tranquility and harmony.
Li Minghui and Lin Yixuan sat side by side under the wisteria tree, holding hands tightly, as if they were the only two people left in the world.
They talked about the past and looked forward to the future, and every topic was full of warmth and sweetness.
"You know what? I used to think that my pride would be a shackle on me for life."
Li Minghui said softly, looking at Lin Yixuan tenderly.
"But now, I realize that what really holds me back is actually my own fear."
He paused and continued,
"And you are the key to breaking all this."
"Thank you, Yixuan." Li Minghui's voice was filled with emotion.
"You made me understand that letting go of pride does not mean losing myself, but a kind of growth."
Lin Yixuan smiled and held Li Minghui's hand tightly. "We are each other's salvation, Hui. The road ahead is still long, but as long as we are together."
