Chapter 32: The Disabled Brother of the Wealthy Male Lead (10)

Ying Zhao gently said to Lin Yiting, “Brother Yiting, don’t speak. You promised me yesterday that you would practice kissing with me. Did you forget? Right now, I just want to kiss you!”

After saying that, Ying Zhao leaned in for another kiss. Lin Yiting, looking at the face so close to his and the trembling eyelashes, finally closed his eyes and fully immersed himself in the kiss.

“Just think of this as a dream! Even if it’s wrong, I just want to let myself fall. Even if it’s an illusion or hell, I’m willing to go through it.”

The two continued kissing passionately, and with Lin Yiting taking the initiative, Ying Zhao quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

Lin Yiting’s physique was much more robust than Ying Zhao’s, and at this moment, he completely embraced Ying Zhao, making it seem like Ying Zhao was nestled in his arms.

After a long time, Lin Yiting was still engrossed in kissing Ying Zhao, showing no intention of letting go.

Ying Zhao, however, couldn’t endure any longer and wanted to catch his breath. When he lifted his head, their lips parted with a “pop” sound.

This sound startled both Ying Zhao and Lin Yiting.

“Pfft!” Ying Zhao couldn’t help but laugh. His shoulders shook uncontrollably, making Lin Yiting’s face turn red.

After Ying Zhao finished laughing, he looked up at Lin Yiting with a smile and said, “Brother Yiting, you were really into it! Do you like kissing me?”

Lin Yiting, staring at Ying Zhao’s swollen and moist lips, swallowed hard. He wanted to deny it but couldn’t say a word.

Seeing Lin Yiting’s embarrassed look, Ying Zhao didn’t intend to let him off easily. He casually said, “Brother Yiting, why don’t we just stay together?”

Lin Yiting didn’t react immediately to Ying Zhao’s words and heard him continue, “You see, you always enjoy kissing me, don’t you? Brother Yiting, let’s date, okay?”

Only then did Lin Yiting realize that Ying Zhao wanted to be with him.

He felt a mess in his heart and rejected immediately, “Xiao Zhou, stop joking around. You know that’s impossible. You’re still young; don’t make such jokes!”

“Impossible?” Ying Zhao’s eyes suddenly darkened upon hearing Lin Yiting’s words.

Lin Yiting felt a chill in his heart upon seeing Ying Zhao’s expression. He racked his brain for something to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Just then, Ying Zhao’s phone rang. He picked it up and, seeing the caller ID, his eyes flickered. Smiling, he answered in a particularly friendly tone, “Xiaoze, why are you calling?”

Lin Ze was taken aback by Ying Zhao’s affectionate address since Ying Zhao usually called him by his full name, never this close.

However, he quickly resumed his usual demeanor and loudly complained to Ying Zhao, “Xiao Zhou, you’re too much! You came back to the country without telling me. Where are you now? I’m coming to find you!”

Since Ying Zhao was right next to Lin Yiting and Lin Ze’s voice was loud, Lin Yiting immediately knew who the caller was.

Ying Zhao was also aware of this. After glancing at Lin Yiting’s face, he replied with a faint smile, “I’m at your brother’s place, of course. Didn’t you know I was back?”

Lin Ze was momentarily stunned to hear Ying Zhao was at the Lin family mansion but then realized it was expected.

He smiled wryly and said to Ying Zhao, “I’ve already moved out of the mansion. You didn’t tell me personally, so how would I know?”

Ying Zhao anticipated this and, without any guilt, responded, “Oh, is that so? I thought telling your brother would be enough for you to find out. It’s getting late, so don’t come over. Let’s meet another day.”

Lin Ze immediately said, “No more ‘another day.’ How about tomorrow? Come on, Professor Ying, don’t you want to give me face?”

Ying Zhao smiled at Lin Ze’s words. Despite everything, they had grown up together, sharing a childhood bond.

Knowing Lin Ze genuinely considered him a friend, Ying Zhao agreed, “How could I not? Even if I don’t see you as a CEO, I remember you’re the second young master of the Lin family and an old friend of our Ying family. Let’s meet tomorrow night then.”

Ignoring Ying Zhao’s teasing, Lin Ze, satisfied with the agreement, hung up.

Lin Yiting, hearing their plans to meet tomorrow, felt a pang of unease. He had intentionally not told Lin Ze about Ying Zhao’s return, but the latter still found out quickly.

Lin Ze, being around the same age as Ying Zhao, had also become quite accomplished. Though he didn’t use the family’s assets, he started a small tech company with his own capabilities.

While this was nothing significant in Lin Yiting’s eyes, Lin Ze was still impressive compared to ordinary young people.

Knowing how well Lin Ze and Ying Zhao got along as kids, Lin Yiting felt an inexplicable tension about their reunion.

Unable to prevent their meeting, he grew increasingly agitated. Looking at Ying Zhao, who had put away his phone, Lin Yiting wanted to say something.

Ying Zhao suddenly stood up and, smiling, said to him, “Brother Yiting, it’s late. You should go back to your room and rest. I need to get to bed early too since I have a lot of research to do at school tomorrow.”

With that, he walked to the bed, picked up a book from the bedside table, and started reading, ignoring Lin Yiting.

Lin Yiting, taken aback by Ying Zhao’s sudden coldness, could only leave the room in silence.

As he reached the door, Ying Zhao suddenly called out, “Brother Yiting, I’ll be heading to St. Lin Academy early tomorrow, so I won’t have breakfast here. No need to prepare breakfast for me anymore; I’ll eat at school.”

Frowning in disapproval, Lin Yiting seriously said, “School breakfast isn’t nutritious. I’ll have someone prepare breakfast early for you to take to school, okay?”

Ying Zhao turned slightly, stared at Lin Yiting for a long time, then finally nodded. After a few more reminders from Lin Yiting to rest early, he left the room.

Once alone, Ying Zhao didn’t go to bed immediately. He walked to the dining table, arms crossed, looking at the unfinished dishes with evident sadness.

He picked up Lin Yiting’s wine glass, swirled it, and took a sip from where Lin Yiting had drunk, as if savoring the man’s taste.

Thinking about today, his half-true, half-false confession was rejected again. Ying Zhao sighed inwardly. Although he had anticipated this outcome, he couldn’t help but feel anger and frustration.

Especially when Lin Yiting said without hesitation that it was impossible for them to be together, Ying Zhao almost wanted to force himself on the man right then and there.

“This idiot!” Ying Zhao bit his lower lip and angrily pounded the table.

He had to admit that when he received Lin Ze’s call, it was indeed because of Lin Yiting’s earlier rejection that he intentionally acted a bit closer to Lin Ze, but that was all.

However, Ying Zhao did plan to meet Lin Ze tomorrow. After all, they had been friends for many years. Besides, Ying Zhao was also curious to see if Lin Ze was still hanging around with the so-called main character shou, Meng Jiaqi.

Although the original host’s wish didn’t include revenge on Meng Jiaqi, Ying Zhao was more than willing to face this scum who liked to blame all his mistakes on others.

Xiaobai, seeing the cold light in Ying Zhao’s eyes, couldn’t help but shiver. He suddenly remembered Bai Rui once telling him about the divine bird Qingyuan being severely beaten by Ying Zhao for eating people.

The abilities of ancient gods and mythical beasts were varied, so their power rankings were never consistent. However, no matter how they were arranged, Ying Zhao’s strength was always ranked among the top ten mythical beasts.

Ying Zhao’s true strength was evident, and he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

In the past, Ying Zhao had managed hundreds of fierce beasts in the celestial realm. If he weren’t ten or a hundred times fiercer than them, how could he have made them submit one by one?

In the previous world, Ying Zhao did carry guilt towards Zhuque, and his relationship with Wen Renming was that of childhood companions.

Therefore, Ying Zhao never felt any resistance from Wen Renming towards him. But in this world, the nature of Ying Zhao’s relationship with Lin Yiting was fundamentally different.

Lin Yiting’s repeated rejections made Ying Zhao psychologically unwilling to accept it, gradually exposing his domineering nature.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling worried about Lin Yiting in this world. He just hoped the other wouldn’t anger Ying Zhao any further.

The next evening, Ying Zhao arrived at the place he had agreed to meet Lin Ze. Knowing that Ying Zhao liked quiet places, Lin Ze specially arranged for a famous private restaurant.

This place usually had few strangers, and you could only dine there with a reservation through an introducer. Many people liked to discuss matters here as it was upscale and very private.

There were naturally more people than just Lin Ze, including a few of their childhood friends. Ying Zhao also saw a familiar face, the main character shou of this world, Meng Jiaqi.

Ying Zhao calmly sat down without showing curiosity about who the other person was.

Meng Jiaqi acted very warmly upon seeing Ying Zhao, but his eyes still revealed a bit of uncontrollable hatred and jealousy.

Unwilling to engage in fake pleasantries with Meng Jiaqi, Ying Zhao merely nodded politely yet distantly at him, then casually chatted with the few familiar faces around him.
