Husband, Let Me Touch Your Abs - Chapter 185

When Lu Yao brought out a folding bed, Zhao Beichuan’s face completely fell. He looked at him with a pitiful expression.

Lu Yao was thoroughly amused by his reaction and softly comforted him, “Sharing one bed is too exhausting. Last night, I could barely breathe with you pressing down on me.”

“Then… can we still kiss?”

“Kissing has to wait until nighttime, too.”

“Hehe~” Zhao Beichuan was happy again.

After washing up, the two of them sat together watching a movie. Lu Yao picked a sci-fi film and pulled Zhao Beichuan to watch with him.

The movie was Interstellar. He had watched it many times before but had never watched it with a friend. Lu Yao had fantasized many times—if he had a boyfriend, they would snuggle up at home to watch movies together, cook together, play games together, take baths together, and make love.

But as he grew older, such thoughts gradually faded. He had even prepared himself for a lifetime of being single.

He never expected that life would bring him such an encounter, allowing two complete strangers to come together.

Zhao Beichuan rarely had time to watch movies, so he was engrossed in it, occasionally discussing the plot with Lu Yao.

“The time flow on Miller’s planet is really that fast?”

Lu Yao had actually looked this up before. “It’s caused by gravitational effects. According to general relativity, the stronger the gravitational pull, the slower time passes. Conversely, the weaker the gravity, the faster time moves. Since Miller’s planet is too close to the black hole, its massive gravity slows time significantly compared to the outside.”

Zhao Beichuan was half-confused but still very interested.

The two continued watching. As the movie neared its end, the corridor lights gradually dimmed.

The elderly woman in the bed next to them spoke up, “Young man, I’m turning off the light, okay?”

“Ah, go ahead.” Lu Yao removed his earphones and nodded.

After the movie ended, they turned off their phones, afraid of disturbing the elderly patients.

Lu Yao plugged in his phone to charge and unfolded the folding bed, preparing to sleep.

“Ge.”

“Hm?”

Zhao Beichuan cleared his throat lightly. “Ge~”

“Wait a moment.” Lu Yao couldn’t help but chuckle.

Zhao Beichuan quieted down and obediently lay in bed, waiting for the person beside him to fall asleep.

Half an hour later, as snores began to fill the room, Zhao Beichuan impatiently urged, “Hurry up and come over!”

Lu Yao nearly burst out laughing—this guy was way too eager. Feeling his way through the darkness, he quietly got up and walked toward Zhao Beichuan’s bed. The moment he touched it, Zhao Beichuan yanked him up in one swift motion.

“Ugh…” Lu Yao was startled, afraid of making noise and waking the people nearby.

A 1.2-meter-wide single bed was far too small for two grown men. To make Lu Yao more comfortable, Zhao Beichuan let half his own body hang off the edge.

They shared the same pillow, their breathing and heartbeats gradually accelerating.

Zhao Beichuan moved closer, flipping over to press against Lu Yao. The overwhelming weight made Lu Yao’s breath hitch, and his heartbeat thundered in his chest.

“Close your eyes.”

Lu Yao gripped the bedsheet and shut his eyes. A warm breath first brushed against his face, then trailed down to his forehead, the tip of his nose, and finally landed in a soft kiss on his lips.

The kiss deepened gradually. Lu Yao parted his lips, allowing Zhao Beichuan to invade his mouth. The position made it an especially deep kiss. When Zhao Beichuan’s wet tongue licked the roof of his mouth, a shiver ran through him, and he couldn’t suppress the sounds escaping from his lips.

The sticky sound of their kiss was particularly loud in the quiet room. Lu Yao was breathless, his hand pushing lightly against Zhao Beichuan’s chest.

Zhao Beichuan grabbed his hand and pinned it above his head, pressing down on him completely. One of his knees bent, nudging Lu Yao’s legs apart. Lu Yao instinctively bit his tongue, making Zhao Beichuan shudder—he had never imagined that just kissing could feel this good.

As they continued kissing, Lu Yao suddenly sensed something wrong. A rough hand had somehow slipped under his shirt, trailing up and down his spine.

Lu Yao’s skin was fair and smooth. Since he didn’t engage in much strenuous exercise, his body fat percentage wasn’t low—his flesh had a soft, elastic feel to it.

At first, he could endure being touched on his back. But when that hand reached his lower abdomen, pressing down lightly, he nearly let out a sound.

“Don’t…” Lu Yao struggled, using his leg to push Zhao Beichuan’s hand away.

“Let me touch you.” Zhao Beichuan exhaled warmly against his ear, licking the delicate curve of his earlobe.

“Hah… no, really no… what if we wake someone up?” Lu Yao’s eyes were already glistening with tears. He had suppressed his desires for so many years—his body was already starving for touch. But of all places, they were in a hospital.

“I’m really struggling here.” Zhao Beichuan rubbed against him, the undeniable hardness making Lu Yao’s heart tremble.

“Let’s wait until we’re home… okay?”

Zhao Beichuan slumped onto his shoulder in disappointment. “When can I be discharged?”

Lu Yao reached out to ruffle his hair. “You have to let your leg heal first, or what if you end up with a permanent limp?”

“Lu Ge, I really want to f*** you.”

“…” Lu Yao nearly had a brain explosion from that one blunt sentence. God, kid, can’t you be a little less straightforward?!

“Be good. Once we’re home… I’ll let you do it…” Lu Yao’s face burned so hot it was unbearable.

For the first time, he understood why Bai Chi was so enthusiastic about dating boyfriends. Desire was just a natural human impulse—maybe he was the odd one for repressing it all this time.

“Kiss me again.” Zhao Beichuan captured his lower lip, licking and nibbling. Lu Yao wrapped his arms around his neck, responding tenderly.

This time, their kiss was slower, filled with warmth and deep affection. Lu Yao deliberately outlined Zhao Beichuan’s lips, using the techniques he had studied before—like a patient teacher guiding him on how to kiss properly.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough…”

The elderly man in the next bed suddenly started coughing.

His wife woke up with a grumble, getting up to pour him some water.

The two of them froze in terror. Zhao Beichuan hurriedly pulled the blanket over Lu Yao to hide him.

It was only after the old couple settled back into bed that Zhao Beichuan lifted the covers. “Lu Ge?”

Lu Yao took a deep breath and smacked him. “You nearly suffocated me, you idiot!”

“S-Sorry.”

“Go to sleep!” Lu Yao rolled off the bed and returned to his folding bed. That night, he slept dreamlessly until morning.

On the fifth day of hospitalization, another visitor came from the drunk driver’s side.

This time, five people came. The old man leading them spoke more pleasantly than the last person; at least he didn’t use a condescending tone.

“How is your recovery, young man? We didn’t come earlier because we didn’t want to disturb you these past few days. Please don’t take offense.”

A kind word deserves a kind response. Naturally, Lu Yao wasn’t going to lash out at them right away; he simply studied the group with a cold expression.

“I’m Chen Bin’s uncle. My nephew is an ignorant fool who has caused our family a lot of trouble over the years. He was wrong to drive under the influence and hit someone, and he deserves to be in detention.”

That, at least, was a reasonable statement. Lu Yao said, “We weren’t trying to extort anyone. It’s just that the person who came last time was way too rude.”

“Yes, yes, I understand. That person was my brother-in-law, and honestly, my nephew turned out the way he did mostly because of him. May I ask how to address you, young man?”

“My surname is Lu. I’m his brother.”

“Ah, Brother Lu, you seem like an educated man. That’s why I wanted to discuss this matter with you properly.”

Lu Yao thought to himself, Don’t try to flatter me. Beichuan got hit this badly—did they think a few nice words would be enough to make up for it?

“Just say what you came here for.”

The old man pulled out a bank card from his pocket. “There’s 80,000 yuan on this card as compensation for the young man who was injured. I know it’s not a lot, but it’s a token of our sincerity. Use it for his medical expenses. If it’s not enough, I’ll find a way to get more.”

Zhao Beichuan’s hospital bills had already totaled over 40,000 yuan, and he still needed months of recovery. They should be paying for it.

“If it weren’t for my nephew’s mother begging me in tears, I wouldn’t even have the face to come here. I just hope you can be understanding. If you really can’t forgive him, then pretend I never said anything.”

The old man placed the bank card on the table and turned to leave.

“Wait.”

Lu Yao wasn’t interested in making things difficult for anyone. He lowered his head and asked Zhao Beichuan what he thought.

Zhao Beichuan nodded. There was no deep-seated grudge here, so there was no need to make things ugly.

Seeing that they were willing to settle, the other party immediately took out the pre-prepared documents. They just needed to sign and put their fingerprints on them.

Once everything was signed, the old man shook Lu Yao’s hand and gave it a firm shake. “Thank you, young man!”

“No need for thanks. Just make sure your nephew learns his lesson. This time, it wasn’t too serious, but if it had been worse, no amount of money would have been enough to make amends.”

“Yes, yes, I understand! I’ll make sure his mother keeps him in line!”

After they left, Lu Yao took the bank card to a nearby ATM and transferred the money into Zhao Beichuan’s account. With the earnings from the videos they had made in the past few days, Beichuan’s balance now exceeded 100,000 yuan.

Looking at the bank notification on his phone, Zhao Beichuan couldn’t help but murmur to himself, Lu Ge is so silly. He gave me all the money without even worrying I might run off with it.

How did I end up with someone this good…

The money for his father’s surgery was settled, but Zhao Beichuan’s leg wasn’t healed yet. When they asked the doctor during the morning rounds, he said he’d need at least two more days in the hospital.

The wait was driving Zhao Beichuan crazy. Every night, he clung to Lu Yao, kissing and touching, leaving them both feeling frustrated.

Eventually, Lu Yao outright refused to let him kiss anymore, saying they’d wait until they were home.

By Friday, he was finally discharged. After finishing the paperwork, they happily packed up their luggage and headed home.

The entire way, Zhao Beichuan could barely stop smiling, his lips practically stretched to his ears. He was itching to get home and finally be intimate with Lu Yao.

Lu Yao’s heartbeat was also abnormally fast. He even started to wonder if something was wrong with his heart.

As soon as the car pulled into the underground parking lot of their building, the two of them couldn’t wait any longer and started kissing.

This time, no one was there to interrupt them. Lu Yao kissed with complete abandon, practically hanging onto Zhao Beichuan, incredibly proactive.

Zhao Beichuan swallowed hard and pulled him onto his lap in the passenger seat, letting him straddle him while they kissed.

“Mm…” Lu Yao shifted uncomfortably, trying to find a better position.

Zhao Beichuan sucked in a sharp breath, gripping Lu Yao’s waist and pressing him back down against himself. “Ge, let’s go upstairs.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yao grabbed his suitcase with one hand and supported Zhao Beichuan with the other. As they took the elevator up, watching the numbers climb, his heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.

When he tried to unlock the door, his hands were shaking so badly that he had to scan his fingerprint multiple times before it finally worked.

As soon as the door opened, they kissed their way inside.

Still caught up in the moment, Zhao Beichuan managed to drag the suitcase in with one hand and shut the door with the other—

“Ah Yao, you’re back.”

His older sister, Lu Fang, stepped out of the kitchen holding a spatula—and froze in place.
