I Only Want You chapter 58
Extra 3 Sub CP
In a certain sense, Yang Xiaole was a stubborn person. Because he wanted to retaliate against Bian Xianyang for not coming home frequently, he hid in the wardrobe, enduring not coming out no matter how stuffy it got.
Bian Xianyang was also puzzled. Even though Yang Xiaole hid in the wardrobe and refused to come out, he also didn’t leave. He maintained a cross-legged posture on the floor, guarding the wardrobe door, waiting for Yang Xiaole to come out on his own.
Time passed minute by minute.
Bian Xianyang occasionally spoke to the person inside the wardrobe, “Baby, aren’t you suffocating in there?”
“I chose to hide in here myself. I deserve it. Don’t bother about me. Go shoot your movie, big star!”
Bian Xianyang looked at his wristwatch, “Come out, and I’ll hug you.”
“I refuse. I won’t come out if you don’t leave.”
“If I leave, we won’t see each other for several days. I finally managed to come back once. Do you want to waste it like this?”
Inside the wardrobe, Yang Xiaole’s arms were wrapped around his knees, and the back of his head pressed against the wooden board behind him. “It’s not just several days without seeing each other. Before today, I hadn’t seen you for forty-six days, couldn’t meet you. Thinking about you is useless. You simply don’t care about being separated from me because I know that when you’re busy, time flies for you. When you get to your hotel, you immediately fall asleep because you are tired, and then the day is over. But I’m not like that. My day is long, both in the day and at night.”
Bian Xianyang sighed heavily, “How could I not care about being separated from you? I miss you a lot too.”
Yang Xiaole inside the wardrobe remained silent.
After a while, Bian Xianyang said, “I asked you to move in with me not just for the convenience of sleeping with you but because I would feel more at ease when you live here.”
This was the first time Yang Xiaole had heard him say something like this. He couldn’t quite understand, “Why would you feel more at ease if I live here?”
“Because this way, no matter how far I am from you, I can be sure that I’ll see you as soon as I come back. Like today, although I arrived home before you, I knew it wouldn’t be long before you returned.”
Bian Xianyang spoke tentatively, opening the wardrobe door slightly. Seeing that the person inside didn’t show any resistance, he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the wardrobe door open again, looking at the person sitting inside, curled up with legs hugged to the chest. “Don’t suffocate yourself.”
Yang Xiaole looked at him silently for a while, then lowered his head, burying his face in his arms. “You’re so annoying.”
Bian Xianyang leaned forward, entered the wardrobe, and embraced Yang Xiaole’s shoulders, kissing his fair neck.
Yang Xiaole didn’t push him away; he just asked in a muffled voice, “Don’t you find me troublesome? Clearly, I’m older than you by a few years, yet I’m not mature at all. I can’t fully understand your work and still complain, scold you for not having time to come home and be with me.”
“No, I just think you’re cute, even when you’re angry.”
“That’s because I restrain myself. Wait until I have a real meltdown one day, and you won’t find it cute. I can’t keep waiting for you at home like this, enduring your brief visits every one or two months. I can’t guarantee that today’s incident won’t happen again, and I can’t guarantee that I won’t say hurtful things during our arguments.”
“Well, I won’t ask you to guarantee anything.”
Yang Xiaole sighed heavily, “Go ahead with your work. Don’t let it affect your job.”
“There’s still time; I can make it.”
Yang Xiaole pushed him away slightly with his arm, coming out of the wardrobe. “Are you hungry? Do you want me to prepare something for you?”
Bian Xianyang knelt on the floor, looking up at him, “The fridge is empty; I checked.”
“How about the frozen dumplings I didn’t finish in the freezer? I can cook them for you if you want.”
Bian Xianyang stood up and followed him out of the master bedroom. “You don’t cook when I’m not home?”
“Why should I cook for myself? I can just buy something to eat. ” Yang Xiaole walked to the entrance, retrieved his backpack and the convenience store bag left there, casually placing the backpack on the sofa. He took out an apple from the bag and offered it to Bian Xianyang. “Want an apple? I got it from the company.”
Bian Xianyang shook his head, “You eat it.”
“What about salad and yogurt? Do you want them?”
Bian Xianyang watched as Yang Xiaole opened the convenience store bag, revealing a salad box filled with green leaves and a yogurt container. “Is this all you’re eating?”
“Yeah, I often eat like this even at school.”
Bian Xianyang took out his phone, “How about I order shrimp dumplings from your favorite place? The one you like so much.”
Before Yang Xiaole could respond, Bian Xianyang’s phone rang, the ringing tone disrupting the quietness of the living room.
“It’s probably your manager, answer it.”
Bian Xianyang reluctantly swiped to answer, “What’s up?”
Yang Xiaole sat quietly on the sofa, tearing off the yogurt lid and grabbing a disposable plastic spoon from the bag. Although he seemed indifferent, he was paying close attention to Bian Xianyang’s conversation.
After less than two minutes, Bian Xianyang ended the call, looking at Yang Xiaole hesitantly.
Yang Xiaole didn’t lift his head, “Pressured by them? Then go ahead, be careful on the road, and take care not to catch a cold.”
Putting away his phone, Bian Xianyang walked over and cradled Yang Xiaole’s face in his hands, kissing his lips forcefully. “Next time I come back, I’ll take a little break. We can talk properly then.”
“Got it.”
“Tonight might be too late, but we can video call tomorrow.”
“Got it.”
“Say you love me.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
After seeing Bian Xianyang off, the whole house instantly returned to the quiet solitude of being alone. If he didn’t walk around, there wouldn’t be any sound at all. Yang Xiaole turned on the TV, searching for a TV series to watch while waiting for his significant other.
With a simple vegetable salad and a yogurt box, Yang Xiaole slowly ate while watching TV. It took nearly twenty minutes for him to finish both boxes.
After finishing, he stared at the TV blankly. The living room was pitch dark after sunset, and he didn’t even turn on the lights. Suddenly, the visual doorbell in the entrance area rang.
Startled, Yang Xiaole walked over and picked it up, only to see a delivery guy. Confused, he said, “I didn’t order any delivery.”
The delivery guy also looked puzzled, “The address is Apartment A, 1501.”
“The address is correct, but I…” Yang Xiaole paused halfway through his words, realizing that Bian Xianyang mentioned ordering shrimp dumplings before leaving. “Is it from Xu’s Shrimp Dumplings?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It’s mine. Could you please bring it in? Thank you.”
After ending the visual doorbell, Yang Xiaole waited for a while outside the elevator before the delivery guy arrived.
Xu’s Shrimp Dumplings was a place he really liked. During summer and winter breaks spent here, he had ordered from there numerous times. Although it was a bit expensive, each shrimp dumpling was plump, and dipping them in sauce, Yang Xiaole could easily finish two large portions by himself.
Bian Xianyang ordered two large portions for him, clearly knowing that he was the kind of person who wanted to eat his fill.
Good food was the most comforting. Yang Xiaole’s previously gloomy mood lightened up a bit when he saw the two boxes of shrimp dumplings. While slowly opening the sauce box, he mumbled about Bian Xianyang, “Sneaky, trying to please me with food.”
On the other side, Bian Xianyang, who rushed to the set as soon as he landed at the airport, didn’t even have time to catch his breath. He went straight into the makeup room, where his assistant brought the nutritionist-prepared weight-loss meal for him.
Having been on the set for over a month, Bian Xianyang was familiar with the makeup team. Seeing that he returned with an unpleasant expression, the makeup artist, out of concern, asked, “Xiao Yang, why is your mood not so good?”
Bian Xianyang sighed, “Reluctant to be separated from my little cat at home.”
“Xiao Yang, you also have a cat at home?”
“Yeah, it has a clingy personality, a bit temperamental. Due to insecurity, it needs my company. This time, being away for so long, I almost got scratched when hugging it. It’s fierce but also cute.”
The makeup artist understood, “Ah, cats are like that, especially the clingy ones. They are quite sensitive and require sufficient companionship. I actually want to have one too, but my work is too busy, so I haven’t got one.”
Bian Xianyang chuckled silently, thinking about his partner, Yang Xiaole, at home.
“Will you be done filming in half a month? By then, you’ll go home and play with it properly. It definitely won’t scratch you anymore.”
“I hope so.”
Bian Xianyang had been eagerly anticipating the end of filming on the set. The night scenes of the period drama were being filmed day after day. Finally, the day for the wrap-up arrived.
On the way back from the set to the hotel, he sent a WeChat message to Yang Xiaole.
“I’m done filming. I can be home by early morning.”
“Oh~ What a coincidence, I’m not at home.”
Bian Xianyang raised an eyebrow.
“What do you mean you’re not at home?”
“The company organized a team-building trip to the mountains. I signed up. I’m going to soak in hot springs, catch shrimp, and barbecue shrimp~ See handsome guys~”
“…I remember telling you during our video call that I would finish filming today.”
“I know, so obviously, I did it on purpose.”
Bian Xianyang almost laughed out loud.
“How did I offend you again?”
“You didn’t. Can’t I go out and have fun?”
“But you intentionally went out, delaying my return. I didn’t provoke you, so why treat me like this?”
“Yeah, it seems I’m still not happy with you in my heart.”
Bian Xianyang pressed his temples, feeling a little annoyed by someone.
“Where is your company’s team-building held?”
“Why should I tell you? You’re not from our company.”
“Just asking as a family member. Can’t I know where my baby is going to enjoy hot springs and see handsome guys?”
“Shameless. Who’s your baby? I warn you not to defile my innocence without reason.”
“Don’t go.”
“Who are you to say whether I can go or not? I signed up for the team-building, and the company rewards five hundred.”
“I’ll give you a thousand.”
Bian Xianyang immediately transferred the money.
Yang Xiaole accepted it instantly.
“Thanks, boss~ But I still want to go~ My decision is made. I’ll be back on Sunday afternoon. Oh, by the way, friendly reminder: the signal in the mountains is not good.
- There’s lotus root and pork rib soup stewed in the kitchen pot. Drink it if you like.”
Bian Xianyang looked at the last five words, shook his head helplessly, and called him.
Apart from him, there was only the part-time driver’s assistant in the nanny car. The assistant knew that Bian Xianyang had a partner, and he had visited his home more than once, having seen Yang Xiaole.
Waiting at a red light, the assistant saw Bian Xianyang, sitting in the front passenger seat, making a complex expression while on the phone. Unable to resist, he perked up his ears.
When the call connected, Bian Xianyang sighed before speaking, “Baby, why exactly are you doing this?”
