Chapter 162 "...Don't move anymore."
Chapter 162 "...Don't move anymore."
The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was thin, and an unintentional breeze passed through the hall, bringing a slight chill.
In the corridor of the old house, two completely different heartbeats echoed, one fast and one slow, interweaving into an invisible net, trapping the secret that was about to unfold.
Lin Shen, a gentle and elegant young scholar, was now facing the moonlight with his back, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination.
Opposite him was Chi Yuan, a man with a cold appearance but an endlessly gentle heart.
The air between the two of them seemed to freeze, and only the sound of each other's rapid breathing seemed particularly clear in the silence.
"Hurry, they're coming."
Lin Shen's voice was low and rapid. He pushed Chi Yuan hard towards the quaint wardrobe in the corner.
The door of the wardrobe slowly opened with a creaky sound, revealing a space that was not very spacious but large enough to accommodate two people.
Chi Yuan did not hesitate. He knew very well that the current situation did not allow him to think too much, so he took a step forward and went in.
Lin Shen followed closely behind and quickly closed the cabinet door, isolating himself from the outside world.
The cabinet was suddenly plunged into darkness, with only the faint light coming through the gaps, barely outlining the other person's outline.
..........
Inside the closet, the space was suffocatingly small. Their bodies were almost pressed together, their breaths intertwined, creating an indescribable intimacy.
Lin Shen's long legs overlapped with Chi Yuan's, and this unexpected contact made both of them feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"Sorry, it's too crowded here." Lin Shen lowered his voice to a very low level, almost whispering, for fear that any sound would reveal their hiding place.
He tried to adjust his posture to reduce the pressure on Chi Yuan, but in this small space, any movement seemed clumsy and weak.
Chi Yuan did not respond, but just stood there quietly, feeling the warmth of Lin Shen's body coming through his clothes. It was an unprecedented sense of security.
He tilted his head slightly, looking through the gap, trying to catch the movement outside, but his calf unconsciously touched Lin Shen's calf.
This slight touch was like an electric current, instantly hitting Lin Shen's heart.
He shuddered violently, then realized his own mistake and tried to pull his legs back, but was afraid that the movement would be too big and make a noise.
So, he carefully crawled towards Chi Yuan, almost close to his ear, and asked in an almost inaudible voice: "Am I too heavy?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile. He also imitated Lin Shen's behavior and replied in a whisper, "No, don't move."
The warm breath gently brushed past Lin Shen's ears, causing his body to tremble again, as if ripples were forming on the surface of a lake blown by a spring breeze.
In this enclosed and depressing space, time seems to be stretched, and every second seems particularly long.
Lin Shen could feel Chi Yuan's breathing becoming heavier and heavier, as if even the air was becoming thinner.
Was he too nervous? Or... was this small space bringing the two of them closer together, creating some kind of subtle chemical reaction?
Lin Shen didn't dare to think about it too much. He tried to stay away from Chi Yuan, but in this limited space, any tiny movement would be infinitely magnified.
Every time he moved, he would inevitably come into contact with Chi Yuan. The feeling of skin-to-skin contact made him feel both embarrassed and excited.
Finally, Chi Yuan seemed unable to endure this silent torture any longer. He reached out and gently grasped Lin Shen's waist, his voice hoarse and firm:
“…Stop moving.”
This grip was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, making Lin Shen calm down instantly.
He felt the warmth of Chi Yuan's palm, which was an indescribable sense of security and strength.
He stopped struggling and let Chi Yuan hold him in place. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, as if they had become each other's strongest support.
The air flowed slowly inside the cabinet, carrying the unique scent of the two people, mixing into a unique smell.
The smell of smoke filled the air since someone knew not when. It was the unique scent of Chi Yuan. Lin Shen wanted to roll his eyes to express his dissatisfaction, but he was reluctant to let him go.
These conflicting emotions intertwined in his heart, making him frown involuntarily.
However, Chi Yuan seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and smiled gently. The laughter was low and gentle, as if it could dispel all the haze.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He said softly, his tone full of firmness and tenderness.
After hearing this, Lin Shen's uneasiness gradually dissipated.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and inhaled Chi Yuan's breath into his lungs.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the dangers lurking in the outside world and only wanted to spend this rare peaceful time with the person in front of him.
I don’t know how long it took, but the footsteps outside finally faded away and everything returned to peace.
Lin Shen slowly opened his eyes, and saw a ray of moonlight pouring in through the gap, illuminating Chi Yuan's profile.
His outline appeared soft and deep in the moonlight, like a carefully crafted painting.
Lin Shen smiled softly, reached out and touched Chi Yuan's cheek, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Thank you for being willing to spend this difficult time with me."
Chi Yuan turned his head, and their eyes met in the darkness, as if thousands of words were silently conveyed at that moment.
He reached out and held Lin Shen's hand, clasping his fingers tightly together, as if to preserve this warmth forever.
Lin Shen's eyes flashed and he whispered, "Let's go out." Chi Yuan nodded and let go of his hand.
The two of them carefully pushed open the cabinet door and looked around vigilantly.
After confirming that it was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not suitable to stay here for long. Let's leave here first."
Lin Shen analyzed calmly.
Chi Yuan nodded in agreement and followed Lin Shen away quietly.
Under the moonlight, their figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the darkness.
Behind them, the old house still stands quietly, as if witnessing an unknown story.
