Chasing Ethan to the Ends of the World Chapter 7

Adrian Xie was very unhappy, and there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice. The younger brother of the Xie family was so frightened that he almost forgot what he was going to say.

"I miss you, brother. It's been a long time since you came home..."

The brother's voice on the other end of the phone was childish, and upon careful listening, it sounded a little aggrieved.

Adrian Xie took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

Xie Zhuoyu: ...

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room had not yet dissipated. Ethan He was silent for a moment, but fearing that he would be embarrassed, she spoke first.

"Is that your brother?"

Adrian Xie held the phone in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment he hummed.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Ethan He packed up his things and prepared to go to bed.

"sleep early---"

Unexpectedly, Adrian Xie suddenly asked, "Want to go out and see the stars?"

Ethan He was stunned for a moment.

The temperature difference between day and night in City A is huge. It is so hot during the day that the curbs can be scorched, but it does not affect the cool breeze at night.

Both of them were only wearing one piece of clothing. Seeing Ethan He shrink slightly, Adrian Xie went back and got out his coat and handed it to him.

There was a familiar faint fragrance on it, which drifted lightly into the nose.

"Aren't you going to wear it?" Ethan He asked him.

Adrian Xie shook his head, and the muscle lines of his exposed arms were vaguely visible.

He had discovered before that although Adrian Xie did not look like a very strong type, he still had plenty of muscles. In the morning, he couldn't even pull someone when he tried to pull them.

"Why can't I see the mouth of the spoon?"

Adrian Xie pointed casually at the night sky.

The weather is good today, and the racecourse is located in an open area with no obstructions from clouds, mountains, houses, etc. Most constellations are clearly visible.

Except for the spoon mouth of the Big Dipper mentioned by Adrian Xie.

Ethan He looked in the direction he pointed and tried to identify it for a long time before he saw the one.

He moved closer and wanted to tell Adrian Xie the exact location, but when the two heads were getting closer, the person next to him suddenly turned his head.

Once again, the two were only a short distance apart.

Ethan He's heart couldn't stand the repeated torture and began to beat violently.

Plop, plop.

Adrian Xie seemed to have heard it, and his throat rolled dully.

boom.

Ethan He felt that this smile was like an explosion in his eardrums, making his ears and heart itchy.

He suddenly calmed down, and as if bewitched, he mustered up the courage. He approached silently, and tentatively, his lips lightly touched the side of Adrian Xie's face.

Next second---

The familiar smell of Adrian Xie came towards him along with the cold wind.

These hands, which had created countless works of art, now held his cheek, and their lips finally touched, inseparable.

Adrian Xie's K!ss was a bit fierce. He first licked the lips, and then wanted to get closer after the person relaxed.

"Open your mouth."

He coaxed, his voice low and hoarse.

Ethan He did as he was told. Adrian Xie's K!ss became more unscrupulous. His tongue swept across his palate, and a tingling feeling instantly spread throughout his body.

After a long time, the tightly pressed lips finally parted, and he was a little stunned when someone touched his cheek.

Adrian Xie's eyes were gentle at this moment. Ethan He stared at him and blurted out the words of confession.

"I like you."

Adrian Xie didn't stop his hands and used his thumb to wipe the crystal from the corners of Ethan He's lips.

"Ok, I know."

Ethan He was waiting for his next words.

Adrian Xie knew clearly what he wanted to hear, but he was too mean to say it. He watched the light in his eyes slowly dim, and the smile on his lips became ostentatious and vicious.

After teasing enough, he stroked the person's hair and said, "Let's be together."

When I ran my fingers through the black hair, I didn't feel any pain, but rather it felt soft.

Under the cover of night, Adrian Xie K!ssed her again.

Not long after, the news that Adrian Xie had changed her boyfriend spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the school.

"let's have dinner tonight?"

He held the steering wheel and asked, but he was unexpectedly rejected by Ethan He.

Adrian Xie's displeasure was not evident on his face, but the atmosphere in the car had clearly grown colder.

"Tomorrow, can we get together tomorrow? I really have something to do tonight." Ethan He explained.

"Um."

Ethan He had no experience in coaxing people, so he could only go along with her dryly. However, Adrian Xie's mood didn't seem to improve.

He was a little at a loss, his fingers unconsciously clasped the seat, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

After all, it seems a bit unreasonable to refuse your boyfriend's request to have dinner together on the first day of your relationship.

Adrian Xie put one hand on the car window. The car was parked downstairs of the dormitory building. The atmosphere was awkward and cold, and no one spoke for a while.

Ethan He got out of the car quietly, and Adrian Xie didn't say anything either. He started the engine and prepared to start the car.

But Ethan He suddenly called him, "Adrian Xie."

"Um?"

Ethan He K!ssed him on the side of his face, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Adrian Xie's eyes darkened, and his hand, which was holding the steering wheel a second ago, fell on the person's neck without warning, and pressed down with force.

Then, he K!ssed her in front of Ethan He's surprised eyes, pried open her teeth skillfully, and swept her tongue with emotion.

Ethan He felt embarrassed and pushed him away before he could K!ss her for long, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

His fair skin was even more obvious.

After watching the people enter the dormitory, Adrian Xie got out of the car and lit a cigarette.

He did feel disappointed at first, but surprisingly, he was easily coaxed into submission by a K!ss from Ethan He, which even Adrian Xie himself couldn't figure out.

He turned around and went back to his home without calling Wei Ru in advance. It was Aunt Wang who notified her after she saw him return.

He looked around but couldn't find any trace of Xie Zhuoyu.

When Adrian Xie was in his sophomore year, Wei Ru bought two apartments in the city for him to move out. In his junior year, Adrian Xie chose the one closer to the school. Since then, he didn't go home often, unless Ms. Wei nagged him too often.

His father was not at home either. Seeing that no one was at home, Adrian Xie picked up the key and prepared to go back to the apartment. When he reached the foot of the stairs, he heard voices again.

Wei Ru was holding his youngest son at the door. As soon as Xie Zhuoyu saw his brother, he ran towards him.

"elder brother!"

"Oh, you still remember to come back. I thought you had forgotten that you had a home here."

His mother did not mean what she said. She took her youngest son back home immediately after receiving the news from Aunt Wang, but she started to attack and bully people when she saw them.

Adrian Xie coaxed her a few words, and seeing that his attitude was okay, Ms. Wei's expression eased a little.

Xie Zhuoyu just reached his thighs and hugged him tightly, not letting go.

"Where did you go?"

After not seeing each other for a few days, Adrian Xie rarely pushed him away. He touched the back of his head and asked.

"Mom, take me to KFC!"

Adrian Xie sighed when he heard this, and glanced at Wei Ru, "Eating junk food all day long."

The meaning is obvious.

How come you can take your youngest son out to eat greasy KFC but not allow him to order "unhealthy" takeout?

Wei Ru could see the meaning in his eyes, and she swung her bag and left only the back of her head, "How can you be the same as your brother? You have no idea."

Yes, they are different. Xie Zhuoyu won the genetic lottery, and is healthy and has no problems at all.

"My brother is in good health. The last time I saw him---"

Xie Zhuoyu didn't want his brother to be nagged all the time, so he opened and closed his lips, but before he could finish his words, Adrian Xie covered his mouth with his hand.

Wei Ru turned around on the stairs and a sharp look immediately shot towards him.

"What are you seeing him for? Why are you covering his mouth?"

Adrian Xie remained calm, "Seeing me staying up late playing games." He released his hand that was covering his brother's mouth, wiped it on the child's hoodie with disgust, and gave him a suggestive look.

Xie Zhuoyu understood, "Yes, I saw my brother staying up late playing games..."

Wei Ru was skeptical, "Really?"

The big and the small nodded at the same time.

Only then did she reluctantly believe it.

"You're smart." Adrian Xie flicked Xie Zhuoyu's head, and when he was grinning, he gave him a sweet treat:

"I'll take you along next time."

When Xie Zhuoyu heard this, his mouth opened even wider.

...

Passing by the kitchen, Wei Ru specifically asked Aunt Wang to make a bowl of wonton, and reminded her to add some fresh shrimps.

Aunt Wang has been in the Xie family for more than ten years. She has watched Adrian Xie grow up. How could she not understand the daily interaction between the mother and son? At this time, she laughed and joked:

"My wife says she's worried, but she's actually very concerned about me."

Wei Ru originally wanted to refute, but then she thought better of it. After all, the child was hers, so she had to accept it no matter how troublesome it was.

Adrian Xie took a bath, played a few games with Xie Zhuoyu, then sent away the little scabby dog   who wanted to stay and went into the painting studio at home.

Wei Ru had prepared a room like this for him since he was in high school. He hadn't been here for a long time, so the paint in front of the easel had dried up. Aunt Wang didn't know if he would still use it, so she left it there, but a new box of paint had been placed next to it.

There are also a few tie-dye vats in the corner. He was obsessed with this for some time and learned a lot about it.

With a buzzing sound, the phone vibrated.

Ye Ziqi: I heard that you have a new boyfriend, is it true?

Ye Ziqi: Can we meet again? Just one last time.

...

There were a few more messages after that, but Adrian Xie didn’t read them carefully. They were nothing but reminiscences and attempts to retain the deceased, and they were sincere and lengthy.

It's the same thing all the time. Adrian Xie is tired of it.

There was not even the slightest change of expression on his face. He impatiently transferred some money and then turned off the phone.

Adrian Xie: That’s not necessary.

Just one sentence made all of Ye Ziqi's text messages fall into oblivion without causing any ripples.
