After hanging up the phone, Zuo Bo did not put out his cigarette and walk out of the bathroom, but leaned against the wall and smoked one after another.

The smoke he spat out was filled with disconsolation and drew a layer of heaviness to the room.

After a long time, he had finished the entire pack of cigarette. He then moved his stiffened legs and cleaned up all the cigarette butts. He wanted to go out, but he felt that he would probably smell bad since he had smoked for so long. Therefore, he took a shower, brushed his teeth and then went out of the bathroom, smelling good and looking fresh.

But when he saw Long Chen sleeping soundly on the bed, the light in his eyes became dim again. Then he combed the hair on his forehead and suddenly smiled bitterly because it was very likely that he could no longer watch Long Chen sleeping quietly in his bed like this in the future. Or maybe he wouldn’t have that chance ever again.

Zuo Bo didn’t walk to the bed. He just stood there and rummaged into his pocket for cigarette habitually, only to find himself in a sleeping robe.

Zuo Bo smiled helplessly again, because the reason why he learned to smoke was also because of Long Chen. Maybe he just needed something for distraction.

Long Chen, who was in bed, had been awake somehow. Although he did not open his eyes, he knew that Zuo Bo was standing not so far away from him.

He rubbed his face into his arm and breathed with difficulty. Zuo Bo was not by his side when he woke up, so he was surrounded by cold air.

Zuo Bo immediately noticed Long Chen’s movement. He thought the temperature of the air conditioner was set too low, so Long Chen felt cold. Thus he turned the temperature up a little.

After putting the remote control on the nightstand, he was going to sleep on the couch, but looking at Long Chen who was facing him with his back, he still didn’t have the courage to let him sleep alone. So eventually, he lay down beside Long Chen.

Zuo Bo looked at Long Chen’s back; he stretched his hand out yet withdrew right after. He acted like he wanted to have Long Chen back into his arms again, but he was afraid of disturbing Long Chen. There were a lot of complicated feelings in his eyes. Finally, he decided to give up and just gazed at Long Chen behind his back.

Of course, Long Chen, who had his back against Zuo Bo, did not know about Zuo Bo’s hesitation at this time. His eyes became dimmer and his heart ached.

After a long time, Long Chen no longer sensed any movement from behind. He thought Zuo Bo was asleep, so only then did he dare to move to Zuo Bo.

Zuo Bo thought Long Chen moved backward unconsciously in his dream, so he didn’t think much about it. Instead, he chuckled, brushed off the hair on the back of Long Chen’s neck and gave him a kiss.

Long Chen was stunned, because he didn’t expect that Zuo Bo was still awake and would kiss him so gently.

The uneasiness in Long Chen’s heart suddenly vanished. He leaned closer to Zuo Bo and wanted to feel his aura. This time, Zuo Bo held Long Chen in his arms without hesitation, and softly spoke beside him, “Good night.”

Long Chen’s smile became more obvious, and he replied the same thing in his heart and fell asleep with Zuo Bo.

After waking up in the morning, Long Chen was already gone. Zuo Bo knew that he had been taken back to the army by the people He Jingyan sent here, so he was not surprised, but he still felt a little lonely, because hours ago, he was still sleeping with him in his arms, but now it all seemed like a beautiful dream.

Zuo Bo opened the drawer and wanted to find his cigarette, but he just couldn’t find it. At this time, his phone rang and he furrowed his brow immediately. He thought it was Long Qi’s message, but unexpectedly, it was Long Chen, and he even sent him a picture with the title “I hate the smell of it, so I threw it away.”

Although it was just a simple sentence without body, Zuo Bo still found that rather sweet and smiled for a long time at the message.

‘Perhaps, this is a good start, right? Long Chen.’
