Chapter 18: Perfectionist ②

Proofreader: ChaiTea
Yan Yu stared at Chen Yifei blankly. He was truly confused. He couldn’t believe that he’d really be this unlucky.
Chen Yifei did not say anything else. Instead, he glared at Xu Yunfei, his expression dark. Xu Yunfei forced out a laugh as he drew back the corners of his mouth, his expression awkward. Chen Yifei said, “You should go.”
For some reason, even though Yan Yu was their superior, Xu Yunfei thought that Chen Yifei’s words had more force and authority. He nodded, tactful, and quickly waved for a taxi and hurried away.
Chen Yifei motioned for Yan Yu, “Get in the car.”
It had been a month. Their first meeting was, unexpectedly, not accompanied by a hug but an order in a cold voice. Yan Yu’s mouth twitched and he boarded the car.
He could clearly tell that Chen Yifei was, indeed, furious. His anger was not violent but oppressive and concentrated. Chen Yifei did not utter a single word throughout the trip. Although Yan Yu felt bad, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong, so he refused to speak stubbornly, as well.
When the two arrived at the office building, they entered the building one after the other. Yan Yu’s arrival caused quite a commotion in the company. The managers and board members never thought that the Chairman of the board would visit in person. Flustered, they made preparations to welcome him.
Initially, Yan Yu did not plan to come to the branch company. He knew that it would be a waste of manpower and resources if he came. Seeing the scene unfolding before him, he kept his mouth tightly closed, not speaking a single word.
Seeing that their boss seemed to be in a bad mood, the board members thought he was here to hold someone accountable for the issue with the samples last time, so they were all scared shitless. Not knowing what they should do, they all stood on the side, their eyes flickering to the experienced Chen Yifei, silently begging for help.
A board member walked up and spoke quietly to Chen Yifei, “Chief Chen! Why didn’t you tell us about Chairman Yan’s arrival? We didn’t prepare anything!”
Chen Yifei replied firmly, “There is no need to prepare anything.”
The board member was confused, “Huh?”
“I said, there is no need to prepare.”
Chen Yifei and Yan Yu returned to the office, leaving the group of board members, who had rushed to meet Yan Yu, in utter shock.
Yan Yu entered Chen Yifei’s office. Chen Yifei poured him a cup of tea and went back to his desk to organise his documents without saying anything else. Annoyed, Yan Yu asked, “Are you not even gonna ask why I’m here?”
Chen Yifei answered, “I know.”
Yan Yu couldn’t help it. “You know? You know everything.”
Chen Yifei suddenly carried a pile of documents over. Under Yan Yu’s astonished gaze, Chen Yifei put down the pile of documents heavily. Chen Yifei said, “Let’s talk about then, we can go back. I hope you can tell me all the potential risks and their solutions you have faced since you’ve started your own business.”
Yan Yu was speechless.
Chen Yifei added, “Please, teach me.”
Yan Yu, “And you said you know? My ass! I came all the way from miles away, just because I’m concerned about you! Even if you don’t care whether I’m here because of my concern for you or not, I would also like to take this opportunity to have a short holiday. And here you are, asking me to teach you about work?”
Chen Yifei responded with, “I don’t want such things to happen again and add to your burden.”
Yan Yu let out a deep breath, he could not bring himself to not compromise. With the rest of the time, Yan Yu carefully told Chen Yifei in detail about his various experiences and solutions he had come up with throughout the years. He even combined some of his company’s actual examples and told Chen Yifei everything. It lasted until nighttime.
Yan Yu felt a bit conflicted. He could understand Chen Yifei’s good intention of not wanting to be a burden to him and he did think Chen Yifei made sense, but Yan Yu could not help but felt emptiness and dejected in his heart--
Bullshit. He had pushed aside his work and especially made time to fly over here to see him, and yet, the boyfriend whom he had not seen for half a month only wanted to talk to him about work? Even if he could understand his intentions, any normal person would be angry.
After work, the two got in the car. Chen Yifei started the engine but did not move the car. Instead, he asked, “When are you going back?”
Yan Yu replied dejectedly, “Tomorrow’s flight at ten in the morning.”
Chen Yifei didn’t say anything else. Yan Yu was initially looking forward to his comment along the lines of “That’s early” or something, but it seemed like he had expected too much.
Chen Yifei sat in the car but did not start driving. Yan Yu asked, “Why aren’t we going back?”
“Wait for a bit. I asked Xu Yunfei to get me something.”
Just as Chen Yifei finished his sentence, Xu Yunfei could be seen walking towards them from afar. Chen Yifei rolled down the car window. Xu Yunfei leaned on the window, resigned, and passed Chen Yifei a small plastic bag, “Bro, can you not ask me to help you buy such things for you next time?”
Yan Yu was stretching and yawning when Xu Yunfei said that so he completely missed it. Xu Yunfei waved at Yan Yu and smiled, “Please take care, Chairman Yan.”
“Yeah, see ya.”
Yan Yu leaned on his car seat and fiddled with his handphone on the way back as Chen Yifei drove steadily. Both of them kept their silence for a long while.
Yan Yu asked suddenly, “Are you not at least a bit happy that I’m here?”
To be honest, Chen Yifei was only angry for that short moment. Besides, he was mostly not angry towards Yan Yu, but at his own uselessness.
Chen Yifei remained silent for a moment and said, “Sorry, I was a bit too fierce this morning.”
Yan Yu huffed coldly, “I didn’t think you were fierce. It was just that I came all the way here and yet you showed me such an attitude and worked me the whole day.”
Chen Yifei, “Everything I said was about your business.”
“Yeah, they were about my business, but I can’t make my own life difficult just because of my business and work, right?” Yan Yu rolled his eyes and added, “I can’t believe I’m actually fucking being jealous of my own business, this is just…”
Chen Yifei knew it was not a good time to laugh, but he could not control himself and his laughter leaked out unintentionally. Yan Yu glared at him in disbelief, “And yet, you’re laughing?”
Chen Yifei reached out and touched his hair, as if he was trying to console an angry, small animal, his voice still filled with laughter, “I’m sorry.”
Chen Yifei did seem much more relaxed after leaving his work environment. Yan Yu could not resist Chen Yifei’s head pat and although most of his anger had already disappeared, he couldn’t put down his pride so he hit away Chen Yifei’s hand intentionally.
Chen Yifei soothed him, “Of course I’m happy that you’re here.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“My mind was in a mess due to that mistake I made,” Chen Yifei said calmly. “I know you can solve the issue much better than I can. I did, also, think about slacking off and just leaving it to you to get it sorted out, but that won’t do me any good in the end.”
Chen Yifei paused and laughed bitterly, “I had actually already thought of a solution and what I should do, but you got the issue solved in secret, instead. Although that was not what I wished for, I still felt relieved when I saw you then. Rather than saying that I was angry, it was more of me wanting to act furiously towards myself, so that others won’t think that I’m looking for an easy way out.
It was the first time Yan Yu heard Chen Yifei sharing with him his inner thoughts so willingly. His anger vanished in an instant, “How would I think that you were looking for an easy way out? Others can not know about your hard work and hardships, but there is no way I wouldn’t know.”
Chen Yifei admitted softly, “I know you wouldn’t.”
Yan Yu was quiet.
“I am referring to the others.” At that moment, the car stopped to wait for the traffic light. Chen Yifei’s face looked peaceful yet serious under the dim and flickering light, “It is not possible to keep our relationship a secret forever. You’re outstanding and I don’t want anyone to think that I’m not good enough for you.”
This was the first time Yan Yu had heard someone praising him that he’s outstanding. As a problem student during his childhood, there was no way he would be praised. Although he was successful when he became an adult, given his high position; there weren’t many people who could praise him because that usually meant that the speaker was of a higher position than him.
Yan Yu asked slowly, “... Do you really mean that?”
“Yeah.”
Yan Yu had always thought he was the one who had been putting in more effort in this relationship, but he had never felt that their relationship was imbalanced because he knew that Chen Yifei was the type that wouldn’t display his emotions openly.
But now, Yan Yu finally realised that he had unintentionally neglected much of Chen Yifei’s thoughts.
Yan Yu didn’t know how to respond for a second. The sudden rush of happiness made it hard for him to believe that such words actually came out from Chen Yifei’s mouth.
Chen Yifei parked the car and just as he was about to leave the car, Yan Yu suddenly leaned forward, grabbed Chen Yifei’s face, and twisted it towards him so that he could give him a deep and intense kiss, as if he was trying to release all the anxiousness he had accumulated p from their half a month of separation.
Chen Yifei grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him away, laughing resignedly, “We’re a few steps away from home.”
Yan Yu finally found the chance to say what he had wanted to say all these while, “I miss you…”
Chen Yifei knew that Yan Yu was a straightforward person, but those words never failed to warm his heart every time he heard them regardless of how sudden they were.
Chen Yifei paused, “I miss you, too.”
After entering the house, before they could even enter the bedroom, Yan Yu already couldn’t control himself and pushed Chen Yifei onto the sofa. He gave Chen Yifei a fit of intense kisses, as if he wanted to knead him into his own body, kissing Chen Yifei from his forehead all the way to his collarbone. Even then, he was unsatisfied. He reached out to yank open that ascetic-looking white shirt, his tongue gliding over the naked chest.
Yan Yu’s hand extended towards Chen Yifei’s lower half and caressed his bulging sex organ, smirking, “Aren’t you energetic, Mr Assistant?”
Chen Yifei murmured, “Let’s go to the bedroom.”
Yan Yu shook his head, removing Chen Yifei’s leather belt, “Let’s do it on the sofa.”
Chen Yifei sighed, “On the sofa? The cleaning up will be a pain.”
“Just hire a cleaner.”
“You’re leaving tomorrow, but I have to live here for another half a month or so.” Chen Yifei said, resignedly, “How thick do you think my skin is to ask someone else to clean up after us?”
“Did you not have one night stands before? Weren’t those times cleaned up by others?” Yan Yu asked.
“This is my home.”
Yan Yu got up to turn off the lights in the living room, leaving only the corridor lights on. Yan Yu liked a dim atmosphere, which made Chen Yifei look extremely sexy.
Yan Yu unzipped Chen Yifei’s trousers, his hand wrapping around his erection. He stroked it as he lowered his head, his tongue coiling around the tip before pulling it further into his mouth. He kept it in his mouth and sucked until it grew even thicker before Yan Yu let go and panted out a few breaths, his hands not stopping their actions.
Suddenly, Yan Yu stopped all his movements. Chen Yifei thought Yan Yu might have thought of more fancy tricks but seeing no actions from him after waiting for a couple of seconds, Chen Yifei asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yan Yu answered in a small voice, “I’m a bit hungry.”
Chen Yifei creased his eyebrows as he looked at him, seemingly trying to decipher Yan Yu’s words; whether he really is hungry, or if he was merely trying to enhance the mood for oral sex.
Yan Yu clarified, “I’m hungry for real. I didn’t eat dinner.”
Chen Yifei stared at him, “Don’t tell me you want me to make something for you now.”
Yan Yu moaned, “But what if I don’t have enough energy later if I continue with an empty stomach?”
Chen Yifei sat up and pushed Yan Yudown, returning to their usual position. Chen Yifei took out a box of condoms and lubricant from his jacket pocket and reached out to remove Yan Yu’s clothes, “Why do you need energy?”
Yan Yu was flabbergasted, “When did you buy those?”
“I asked Xu Yunfei to buy them,” clarified Chen Yifei.
Only now did Yan Yu have some impression of Xu Yufei giving Chen Yifei something just then. Now that he recalled Xu Yufei’s knowing smile, it seemed to have a different, deeper meaning now.
[SMEXY TIME]
After that bizarre pleasure faded away, Yan Yu laid on the coffee table, panting; his hair wet with sweat. He stared dumbly at Chen Yifei, the up and down movement of his chest, not yet calmed.
Yan Yu felt so good that he could not even lift his fingers. He asked weakly, “What the hell happened…?”
Chen Yifei smiled down at him, “You should now have a new understanding of this.”
Yan Yu’s hand shot up to cover his mouth, feeling both surprised and alarmed, “Was my voice super loud just now?”
Chen Yifei could not control his smile, “A little. You should be glad that this real estate building is new.”
Yan Yu was speechless. He could only continue to roll around together with Assistant Chen, who was still standing proudly. Yan Yu slept particularly well that night, mainly because he was both physically and emotionally satisfied.
The next morning, Chen Yifei sent Yan Yu to the airport with Xu Yunfei tagging along. After Yan Yu left, Xu Yunfei asked, “Was it good last night?”
Chen Yifei was in a pretty good mood. If it had been the usual him, Chen Yifei would never acknowledge Xu Yunfei’s remark. This time, however, Xu Yunfei was gifted an extra smile.
Xu Yunfei was extremely interested, “Seriously though, I need to learn from you.”
“Why?” Chen Yifei asked.
“I’m planning to meet Jiang Ge at the end of this month,” Xu Yunfei said. “After all, he is someone who has had you before, so I definitely can’t be worse than you.”
Chen Yifei had absolutely no interest in discussing this topic with Xu Yunfei, “Don’t worry, I learnt most of it from him. He’s very interested in helping inexperienced people ‘develop’ their skills.”
Xu Yunfei hesitated, “... Does Chairman Yan know about this?”
“Is there a need for him to know?”
Xu Yunfei shook his head, “Wow, Vice-Chairperson Chen, that’s cunning of you…”
