Chapter 328 "Are you looking at me like this...do you want to... kiss me?"
As night falls, moonlight shines through the half-drawn curtains, dappling onto an unfinished painting.
The painting lay quietly on an old wooden table. It showed the back of a young man busy in the kitchen. The brushstrokes were delicate and the colors were warm and soft. It seemed as if one could smell the aroma of food in the air.
However, behind this heartwarming scene lies an indescribable sense of distance, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, or a chasm of time, which stirs ripples in one's heart but remains unreachable.
At the other end of the room, Lu Jinnian stood leaning against the door, gazing deeply at the painting and the young man in front of it, Lin Yichen, who was bowing his head in deep thought.
The relationship between the two is complex and subtle, just like the night, both clear and hazy.
"Make this meal, and you'll be leaving."
Lu Jinnian's voice was low and slightly hoarse, breaking the silence in the room.
There was a subtle sense of loneliness in his words, as if he was about to lose a precious treasure.
Lin Yichen's fingers gently stroked the edge of the drawing paper, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
"I have to leave some memories for myself, right? Otherwise, the rest of my life will be too miserable."
His words were a bit self-deprecating, but also revealed uncertainty and fear about the future.
.......
There was an inexplicable tension in the air. Although the two were close to each other, their hearts seemed to be thousands of miles apart.
At this moment, Lu Jinnian's figure suddenly approached, and his breath instantly surrounded Lin Yichen. The strong possessive desire surged like a tide, almost suffocating him.
"How scary, Uncle Lu~"
Lin Yichen chuckled, his peach blossom eyes curved into crescent shapes, and a playful arc appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He raised his hand and gently slid his fingertips across Lu Jinnian's earlobe. The movement was both gentle and somewhat provocative, as if testing and inviting.
Lu Jinnian's eyes instantly became profound, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "Looking at me like this, do you want to... kiss me?"
Before he finished speaking, the air was already filled with heat. Lin Yichen's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He had never thought that he would have such a bold idea, but at this moment, all his rationality was swallowed by this inexplicable emotion.
"You still want to pour red wine on me, and then..."
There was a hint of teasing in Lin Yichen's words, but before he could finish his words, Lu Jinnian suddenly kissed him on the lips.
This kiss was passionate and affectionate, a bit domineering, yet extremely gentle.
Between the lips and teeth, the sweetness of the lollipop and the mellow aroma of red wine are intertwined, making people intoxicated.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Yichen's eyes, then was replaced by satisfaction and happiness.
He responded to the kiss tightly, as if pouring all his emotions into it.
However, reason eventually triumphed over impulse, and when the two finally separated, they both seemed to be breathing heavily.
Lu Jinnian's eyes were filled with complex emotions, including desire, tenderness, and a hint of imperceptible sadness.
"Yi Chen, we..." He seemed to have a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.
Lin Yichen shook his head slightly and interrupted Lu Jinnian.
"Uncle Lu, I know what you want to say. But some things can't be solved by running away."
There was a firmness in his words, as if he had already made some decision.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally smiled with relief. In this smile, there was understanding, tolerance, and even hope for the future.
In the following days, Lin Yichen did not leave as expected.
Instead, he chose to stay and face the challenges of life together with Lu Jinnian.
They cook delicious food together in the kitchen and share each other's stories and dreams; they read books together in the study and explore the meaning and value of life.
As time goes by, the relationship between the two is quietly changing.
From the initial mutual attraction to the later understanding and companionship, the feelings between them became increasingly deep.
They learned how to find a balance in each other's world and how to choose between love and freedom.
One spring afternoon, the sun shone through the window onto the two of them, warm and bright.
Lin Yichen sat in front of the easel, carefully depicting everything in front of him - Lu Jinnian busy in the kitchen.
His brushstrokes are more skillful, the colors are more vivid, and every detail is full of love and warmth.
When the last stroke was made, Lin Yichen smiled with satisfaction.
He turned and looked at Lu Jinnian, his eyes gleaming with happiness.
"Uncle Lu, this is the second painting I drew for you." He said softly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinnian put down the spatula in his hand, walked to Lin Yichen, and looked at the painting carefully.
In the painting, he is concentrating on cooking delicious food, and the background is the cozy cottage where the two of them live together.
A hint of emotion and relief flashed in his eyes.
"Yi Chen, thank you."
He said softly, his tone filled with genuine emotion.
At this moment, Lin Yichen suddenly stepped forward and hugged Lu Jinnian tightly.
His voice rang in Lu Jinnian's ears, carrying a certain firmness and deep affection:
"Uncle Lu, no matter how the future changes, I hope to always be by your side. Because of you, my world has become so complete."
Lu Jinnian responded with a deeper hug. Lin Yichen felt Lu Jinnian's hug and his heart was filled with happiness.
He quietly enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the moment, as if time had stopped.
After a long time, Lin Yichen slowly let go of his hand and looked at Lu Jinnian with a smile.
"Uncle Lu, let's go out for a walk together. The scenery in spring must be beautiful."
Lu Jinnian nodded, took Lin Yichen's hand, and walked out of the house.
They strolled along the green path, breathing the fresh air and feeling the vitality of nature.
Lin Yichen pointed at the flowers blooming on the roadside and said excitedly:
"Uncle Lu, look how beautiful these flowers are! They are just like our love, blooming so brilliantly."
Lu Jinnian smiled and held Lin Yichen's hand tightly. "Yes, our love will be as beautiful as these flowers forever."
The two continued walking, enjoying their sweet time.
They believe that no matter what difficulties and challenges they may encounter in the future, as long as they love and stay with each other, they can overcome everything.
