After Zhou Kai had vented his anger on the cigarette, he glared at Wu Longnian who dared to give something so harmful to his sweetheart.
Wu Longnian immediately backed away and lowered his head to look at the ground not daring to meet his boss's eyes which looked as if he wanted to skin him alive.
Zhou Kai then turned his head to look at Xie Yang who had pulled another cigarette and had put it in his mouth. He also acquired a lighter from who knows where and was about to light the cigarette.
He once again went to Xie Yang to snatch his cigarette but this time, his hands were slapped away.
Xie Yang closed the lighter but still kept the cigarette in his mouth as he observed the bewildered look in Kai's face.
"Pres, cigarettes are bad for your health." Zhou Kai warned.
After being slapped away, he didn't dare to try to snatch the cigarette again.
"Oh? So you do know that. Well, I guess it must have been branded in your memory with how many times I said it. No?" Xie Yang looked at him with a casual smile but his words were sharp.
"I apologize pres. I won't do this again. Please spit out the cigarette." Zhou Kai said with a cold expression but if you heard closely you could hear a sense of desperation in his voice.
"Ah, yes and how many times have you told me the same thing again?" Xie Yang said while playing with the lighter.
Zhou Kai choked back the apologies and promises he was about to say. He looked at Xie Yang with a pleading expression.
"What? Why are you trying to stop me? It's not like I'm trying to stop you this time. Go ahead and smoke to your heart's content." Xie Yang said now lifting his head and looking at Kai in the eyes.
Xie Yang stared at Zhou Kai and got distracted by his beauty. He had always found his husband handsome. After all, who wouldn't?
With thick, black hair through which he had always loved to run his fingers, thick sword eyebrows which he had traced with his fingers countless times, a straight nose bridge which he would affectionately rub against and thin lips which felt perfect while kissing.
He had a muscular body even as a student which was evident from the way his uniform draped around him, with his broad back ramrod straight. The same back which had given him a sense of security every time he hugged him.
His pants covered the long, straight legs which were worthy of worship. He seemed to be as tall as he was back then at 196 cm.
But despite his body looking as if he had been carefully sculpted by God himself, Xie Yang's favourite part of his body were his eyes.
The fox eyes with obsidian pupils which reminded him of the dark abyss, once fallen you could never get out. These eyes had always fixated on him with extreme love and affection. As if he was the only one in this world.
Kai had always wished to be by his side, to never separate. Even when they had no choice but to separate due to work or other obligations, he made sure to have someone follow him and had installed various tracking devices on him.
Even the wedding ring he wore had a tracking device. He didn't want to leave him alone for one second. He wanted to be be the one who completely monopolized him.
A sane person might have found his obsessive love hard to bear but for Xie Yang, this possessiveness was what he loved the most.
To Xie Yang, it showed that he cared. It was not that Kai didn't believe in his faithfulness but that he didn't trust others to be able to hold back against him.
In his eyes, Xie Yang was such a soul stealing beauty. Anyone who interacted with him couldn't help but fall for his charms.
As much as Xie Yang would like to deny this brainless claim, he did get in far too much trouble for it to completely false.
Maybe not because of his charms but because of his tendency to get in trouble?
Anyways back to where we were.
Xie Yang looked at Zhou Kai's eyes due to the height difference, he had to lift his head slightly up to make eye contact.
Zhou Kai's eyes were full of worry but Xie Yang didn't soften his heart or his words. He needed to set him straight otherwise the problems that followed because of his smoking.....
He wanted neither himself nor Kai to have to go through that ever again.
"What's wrong? Come on, Kai, answer me." Xie Yang said with a solemn expression.
Zhou Kai tried to explain but was unable to find anything to retort even after half a day had passed. Seeing him try to think of an explanation as to why he himself was allowed to smoke but Xie Yang wasn't without outright announcing the double standard was quite funny to Xie Yang.
But the solemn expression on his face did not ease. Only after he saw Zhou Kai try and fail to stammer out a reply, he sighed and raised his hands in surrender.
"OK then, how about this? I won't bother you about smoking, drugs, alcohol whatever else you're doing. As long as it's not hurting any other students, you can do whatever the hell you want." Xie Yang said as if offering an olive branch.
