Later, He Became A Royal Healer Chapter 60 - Are you single?

Chapter 60 - Are you single?

There was only one bed in the room. Fortunately, the hotel room Kang Shengzhe was staying in was specially provided by the company and both the room and bed were large in size. Therefore, it was not an issue for two men to share the same bed.

Now that sleeping was brought up, You Liangxing had a realisation that Kang Shengzhe’s height made him over long; when he lied down completely, a portion of his legs would stick out without any support and it made it impossible for him to sleep comfortably.

You Liangxing conveyed his question with his eyes and Kang Shengzhe waved his concerns away.

— Got used to it.

After he had his growth spurt, he had always slept like that. Even if he was not used to it, he had to get used to it.

You Liangxing faltered and Kang Shengzhe patted the bed with eyes full of excitement. Now that his face was fully unveiled, there was nothing restraining his temperament, allowing his decadence to ooze out naturally. The two feelings intermingled and it gave rise to a complex and persistent aesthetic.

Although nothing was being said, his expression was enough to convey the bolded words written on his face: Come here.

What do you mean by come here…. You Liangxing lowered his eyes and said, “Sleep.”

Kang Shengzhe’s expression changed instantaneously, and he tapped on his phone with a closed-eyed smile.

— Sleep sounds good, let’s sleep together.

You Liangxing could not shake off the feeling that something was wrong even though he could not pinpoint the problem. When he hadn’t known that the person was Ah Sheng, he had felt perturbed by the coy looks he was given. However, after knowing that the person was Ah Sheng, he found that he could tolerate his suggestive gazes, and he even thought that it could not be more normal.

You Liangxing said: “Sleep first, I’m going to shower.”

Kang Shengzhe’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning. — Shower? Okay, okay, that’s good, shower quickly, shower quickly.

You Liangxing: “… Don’t wait up.”

Kang Shengzhe nodded like a little chick who was pecking rice. — I won’t, I won’t.

Frowning, You Liangxing eventually made his way into the bathroom. Since Kang Shengzhe had an injury on his body, he could not shower, whereas You Liangxing always had the habit of showering once a day and that has never changed.

Despite that, he was still in a hotel and it was not as convenient as home. He was finished with his shower after ten minutes or so and he proceeded to put on his pants. When he grabbed his s.h.i.+rt, however, he discovered that some of the water residue had soaked it through.

After hesitating for a moment, You Liangxing flicked his s.h.i.+rt open and hung it up, leaving his top half bare as he walked out. The two lights by the bed was still turned on, and Kang Shengzhe was lying on his side of the bed as he looked over his direction with the desire to pierce.

You Liangxing knew that it was impossible for him to sleep first. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Kang Shengzhe staring at him firmly, eyes glazed and fervent. For the first time since he was born, You Liangxing wanted to cover his chest.

“… What are you looking at?”

The tone he used sounded like something out of devils and monsters but Kang Shengzhe was unfazed. Instead, he raised his phone and pressed it close to him.

— Liang Liang~ You have a nice figure~

From the text, it was unclear whether he was praising him or he was envious. You Liangxing lowered his head to look at himself but he felt like it was nothing special.

— Abdominal muscles, mermaid line, you have all of it.

You Liangxing said, “You don’t?”

Kang Shengzhe: — No.

Objectively speaking, You Liangxing’s figure was excellent; his entire body did not look brawny, rather, it gave him a slimming effect whenever he put on clothes. His muscle ma.s.s was inclined towards the lean category and he was well-proportioned; without his s.h.i.+rt, the lines of his abdominal muscles and waist were deadly temptations.

Afraid that You Liangxing would not believe him, Kang Shengzhe lifted his s.h.i.+rt, and all You Liangxing could see when he glanced down was a white belly.

— See, I told you I don’t have it.

You Liangxing: “……” You have no reason to be that proud.

Kang Shengzhe fluttered his eyelashes: — I’m envious because I have neither. In this life, I can only rely on touching others to fulfil my dreams.

Then, with a pitiful expression: — Do you think that’s okay?

You Liangxing: “It’s not, scram.”

Kang Shengzhe: — Ying ying ying.

Despite his great disappointment, Kang Shengzhe did not stop staring. Using a pillow, You Liangxing smacked Kang Shengzhe back onto the bed, effectively stopping his gaze. While Kang Shengzhe was rubbing his face, You Liangxing lied down on his bed and covered the both of them with the same blanket.

There was only half an arm’s worth of distance between them.

…. So close.

You Liangxing tried to ignore the persistent feeling and turned off the lights. “Sleep.”

Kang Shengzhe hummed softly, and a few seconds later, the other bedside lamp went out, welcoming the darkness of the night.

His surroundings were quiet, and in the circ.u.mstance where it was too quiet, You Liangxing’s five senses were particularly keen. When his eyes flitted open, he saw Kang Shengzhe looking at him. The moonlight shone on half his face, and his eyes were curved by his smile.

You Liangxing: “… Close your eyes.”

Kang Shengzhe raised his phone: — Okay.

You Liangxing closed his eyes only to open them a while later, but Kang Shengzhe was still staring at him.

“I’ll give you three more seconds.”

As his voice landed, Kang Shengzhe shut his eyes immediately. However, before his drowsiness had time to set in, he felt a sudden emanating of light.

Kang Shengzhe grinned: — I forgot to say something, Liang Liang, your voice sounds really nice and it really matches your real person~~~

You Liangxing: “……”

You Liangxing shot a punch towards Kang Shengzhe’s eyes, and it made Kang Shengzhe to close his eyes obediently.

Because he could not open them.

In the dead of the night, the drowsiness crept up quietly. Before You Liangxing fell into deep sleep, a fleeting, silent thought made itself known in his mind: … His belly is so white.

* * *

Due to his excitement, Kang Shengzhe did not sleep deeply, resulting in a dreamless night. When he opened his eyes, he saw You Liangxing’s back figure as he faced the window, and they instantly curved.

“Morning…” His throat could issue sounds although the quality of it was coa.r.s.e. The doctor was right; with his healing rate, his throat would make full recovery in two to three days.

Hearing his audible answer, You Liangxing looked at Kang Shengzhe’s visage and his brows twitched. Clueless as to why he had reacted that way, he typed: — What’s wrong?

You Liangxing did not speak as he gestured towards his eyes with a slightly complicated expression. Realising that something was wrong, Kang Shengzhe climbed out and ran to the bathroom, and when he looked into the mirror, his left eye was black and blue.

The punch that occurred last night had punched his eye black and blue.

You Liangxing felt sorry in his heart; whenever his temper flared, he had always cared for little and it was only when he woke up this morning that he noticed that was a lonesome panda eye on Kang Shengzhe’s beautiful face. Hence, he felt extremely apologetic and he was about to apologise when Kang Shengzhe started grunting in laughter.

— It’s only the first time and Liang Liang has already left a mark on me, I am so blessed!

You Liangxing: “…….”

Please shut up, thank you.

You Liangxing had been worried about this matter for a good while but Kang Shengzhe did not seem to put it in his eyes. Originally, You Liangxing had a.s.sumed that he would refuse to go out after receiving a black eye, considering how he kept insisting that he was disfigured after having a small cut at the corner of his mouth. However, against his expectations, Kang Shengzhe acted differently from yesterday as he quickly changed the topic with a face full of excitement: — Let’s not talk about this, don’t you have to run in the morning? I’ll accompany you.

Previously, their morning runs were conducted remotely through WeChat. Now that they could do it together, Kang Shengzhe was in high spirits.

You Liangxing: “I’ve finished running.”

Kang Shengzhe: — Ah?

You Liangxing pointed at the table, “I’ve also finished my breakfast on my run, and I bought you some.”

Kang Shengzhe: “……”

Kang Shengzhe: — This can’t be true, you’re lying to me.

You Liangxing exhibited his helplessness and Kang Shengzhe felt like he had been dealt a severe blow. His wishes for the early morning were soundly shattered but that just proved to be just the beginning as You Liangxing wanted to leave after he was done eating his breakfast.

They hadn’t made any plans to begin to with and Kang Shengzhe had no reason to make him stay. Thinking about it, he stated: — I’ll send you off.

As they opened the door, they happened to meet w.a.n.g Lu. When the three people met, w.a.n.g Lu was immediately stunned, and while he was confused by the appearance of another person, what drew his attention was something else. Pulling on Kang Shengzhe’s arm, w.a.n.g Lu was so anxious he went on his toes to scrutinise his appearance, face full of heartache.

“Piaoluo actually beat you up to this state? Didn’t you say that you were fine? I even believed that you were fine but look at your eye, it’s been bruised to this state! Even pandas aren’t as black as this!”

Kang Shengzhe coughed twice. Despite being bewildered, w.a.n.g Lu still stopped his tirade. The person who had been beaten and the person who had really hit him had different expressions, and w.a.n.g Lu could not understand them. However, he first inquired: “This is?”

Kang Shengzhe gave a brief introduction: — A friend.

w.a.n.g Lu: “Oh, a friend, are you going out?”

Kang Shengzhe: — I’m sending him off.

w.a.n.g Lu understood, “Okay, go ahead. I’ll wait for you in your room, we’ll speak after you return.”

While he was agreeing, he appraised You Liangxing’s appearance and he could not suppress the sigh in his heart. Indeed, the fictional tales on the internet had its truths; good-looking people only hung out together with good-looking people. With this man’s appearance, it really made other men feel like he was handsome to the point of helplessness.

Kang Shengzhe no longer stopped and he walked away with You Liangxing first.

On the way, Kang Shengzhe chatted idly with him: — Where’s your hotel, I’ll come and find you once I’m done with work.

You Liangxing hesitated briefly, “I’m not staying in a hotel, I’m at home.”

Kang Shengzhe expressed his surprise: — Are you a native of the Imperial City? Didn’t you say you came here to travel?

You Liangxing replied: “My home is in the Imperial City, but I stay elsewhere.”

I see. Kang Shengzhe nodded. As the elevator descended level after level, Kang Shengzhe continued to chat with his phone, while his heart was drumming up a beat. Finally, when he managed to muster his courage, he asked: — Liang Liang, you… are you…

You Liangxing: “Speak.”

Hardening his heart, Kang Shengzhe asked: — Are you single?

The moment he asked the question, the taste of everything was bound to change drastically. When a boy asked another boy if they were single or not, it was strange no matter which angle was used to observe the situation.

Instanteneously, You Liangxing’s train of thought became chaotic because he did not know which direction he should not be thinking towards, and which direction he should think towards.

Dazed, You Liangxing stared at Kang Sheng’s visage. His back was against the light and his stature was tall. Since his expression obscured by the light, it was hard to see it clearly. After a long pause, he unconsciously answered, “… En.”

And perhaps it was his delusion but You Liangxing heard Kang Shengzhe chuckle, the sound of it inexplicable.

In the quiet, You Liangxing was unsure as to what he was thinking either. Raising his head, he made a similar enquiry, “You?”

Kang Shengzhe: — Me too.

You Liangxing: “Oh.”

After he responded, neither of them deepened the conversation. The pair turned back their heads, and their mouths curled up into a faint smile.

Sure enough, something was wrong.

The elevator opened with a ding and You Liangxing stepped out. Kang Shengzhe stared at him and opened his mouth to speak. His voice was a little horse and it was incoherent. However, if he spoke succinctly, the words could still be understood.

Kang Shengzhe uttered, “I’ll meet you tomorrow.”

You Liangxing did not reply, and it was only when the elevator door had closed that he managed out an “….En.”

The author has something to say: I heard that everyone wants to betray the CP? Ah, KK still has five seconds to reach the battlefield!

Come, repeat after me, Liang Liang is shou, Liang Liang is shou, Liang Liang is shou.
