Chapter 11: The difference between like and love
Xiang Ke was still thinking about it until he got on the rollercoaster. When the staff helped him with the safety measures, he saw a couple in front where the girl is nervously pulling her boyfriend’s clothes. “I’m scared!”
Her cold, and unsmiling boyfriend, relaxed his expression and held her comfortingly. “Just hold my hand.”
The two people holding hands gradually developed a very special intimate atmosphere, just like the other couples walking in the amusement park who can’t wait to stick together. Xiang Ke was inexplicably envious.
Cheng Zhengyan saw that he had been looking at the girl sitting in front of him so he simply forced himself to turn his eyes to the distance.
Xiang Ke’s whole person became restless, peeking at Cheng Zhengyan, ah he’s in a daze. Take another peek, ah, he looked at the other side!
What’s on the other side? Xiang Ke followed curiously to see a space shuttle* in the air! What’s so good about that!
*lit. jumping machine. I just decided to use its common name lol. It looked awkward with the jumping machine.
He inhaled then puffed his cheeks, exhaled, inhaled, puffed, and exhaled.
The moment the rollercoaster finally started, he suddenly gave birth to a burst of courage, reached out——grab it!
Cheng Zhengyan turned around as if he had been electrocuted. Xiang Ke could face his rare eyes that could clearly see the emotion of “accident” and the guts that made waves in his body were like a punctured balloon that “whooshed”, and his sight wandered. He whispered immediately, “……you……are you afraid?”
The two men dumbly stared at each other for a while, and Xiang Ke could feel that the hand he had grasped had held him in turn, squeezing it a little bit, then more and more tightly.
Cheng Zhengyan’s face was livid when he got off the rollercoaster. He pulled the same dizzy Xiang Ke and began to look for the bathroom. Fortunately, after a while, neither of them really vomit.
When he was full, he would choose this kind of upside-down sack-like event. Cheng Zhengyan could not help but wonder if his IQ had been lowered to below average along with the atmosphere here when he patted Xiang Ke on the back. But the gloom which had been hovering his heart since last night has long been lost by the time he had taken in the sweet fragrance of Xiang Ke, who was sighing and groaning like a child in his arms because of his uncomfortable stomach.

They have been walking shoulder-to-shoulder when they came out but then, they suddenly became hand in hand just like the other couples in the amusement park.
But after all, they were two big men, holding hands openly is too conspicuous. After being looked back several times, Cheng Zhengyan pulled Xiang Ke closer, then took his hand and tucked it in his jacket pocket.
In this way, from the outside, they looked like two people walking side by side, just standing closer together.
Cheng Zhengyan’s palm is warm, Cheng Zhengyan’s body is fragrant, and Cheng Zhengyan’s pockets are big! It’s nothing like other clothes!
Xiang Ke’s emotions rose inexplicably, unlike when he only thought about eating when he entered the amusement park. He began to want to play sports, all kinds of which can be used as long as he has Cheng Zhengyan with him, even if it's a bumper car!
Cheng Zhengyan also became less and less daze. When he first arrived in the city, he often emptied his sight, but when he came back, he often laughed out loud. He even took off his mask with Xiang Ke and got into the photo sticker booth which was passed by and mocked several times.
Cheng Zhengyan felt incredulous when he got the photos. Heavens ah, photo sticker booth, he actually did such a mentally retarded thing!
However, Xiang Ke has no knowledge of an avant-garde actor who has been invited to Milan Fashion Week several times and asked Cheng Zhengyan with a serious face, “Can I post this photo on Weibo?”
Cheng Zhengyang: ".................."
My god ah.
He carried Xiang Ke’s backpack full of candy snacks that he barely ate, and pondered for a long time how to make Xiang Ke not disappointed. “……your agent won’t be happy, right?”
Yes, Xiang Ke was a little disappointed. He didn’t know why, but he especially wanted this photo to be seen by the whole world. He even wanted to take off his mask here and shout Cheng Zhengyan’s name so that everyone would know that Cheng Zhengyan went to the amusement park with him today!
Let the whole world know that the two of them have a good relationship!
Xiang Ke felt a little embarrassed thinking about it. He looked at his watch and found that it was already late. It stands to reason that he should propose to return to the crew, but Xiang Ke did not. He raised his head and asked reluctantly, “Cheng Zhengyan, where are we going later ah?”
Cheng Zhengyan’s chest was inexplicably soft and panicked, even the palm holding Xiang Ke is sweating. His emotions were actually constantly affected by another person which made him feel strange. Cheng Zhengyan also found that he had even more irrational impulses, such as pulling out the hand he was holding secretly in his pocket and shaking it openly, or standing in this crowded square and lower his head to kiss Xiang Ke’s lips.
He wanted to open his mouth and say let's go to XX hotel.
Obviously, his pocket was full of condoms and lubricant, and he had made a decision when he went out in the morning. He had at least a hundred reasons to easily trick him to the hotel or even to bed——Xiang Ke is too stupid that even a fool can lead him by the nose.
The sky is getting dark, the lights around the trees in the square are shining like a starry sky, and the large LED screen on the outer wall of the shopping store in the southeast starts to broadcast entertainment programs. It seems to be a hot interview on the internet, and the host with a camera on the road randomly stops passers-by to ask some interesting questions.
“Excuse me, what do you think the difference between like and love is?”
Xiang Ke glanced sideways towards the big screen, this is a strange topic.
Cheng Zhengyan squeezed his hand tighter, Xiang Ke retracted his gaze a little sheepishly, and his gaze swept over a luminous reminder not far away. “Ai? Will there be fireworks in the square at seven o’clock? Then let’s go after watching the fireworks……”
The passerby on the big screen gave all sorts of even stranger answers to this question——
“Huh? Like is like, love is more than like, right?”
“If you like, fall in love, and if you love enough, get married hehe~”
“Like is when I volunteer for the college entrance examination, I cried and begged him to fill the same university and major with me?” On the screen, a girl with long curly hair calmly faced the camera. “Love is probably after graduation when he got his dream offer, but because I had insomnia, and did not know whether to leave the country, I proposed to break up, right?”
“Yi?”* Even the host who asked the question made a surprise question. “Why?”
*咦(yi): expression of surprise
The pretty curly-haired girl smiled, “Because like is unbridled, love is restraint ma.”
The turn of the hands (clock hands) slowed down the couples walking in the square, and Xiang Ke also followed the expectant crowd, probing his head, then for a moment——
The music suddenly overshadowed the big screen that was still playing the program, and the top of the tall sculpture in the middle of the square suddenly burst into bright flames.
Amidst the countless gasps, the fireworks rose up and shattered under the deep blue sky.
It was a very ceremonial moment, and many couples who stopped to watch in the square began to hug or kiss passionately. Xiang Ke glanced around him, and he and Cheng Zhengyan had walked to a relatively hidden large tree. The sky is very dark, everyone was busy, and no one noticed this side.
“Cheng Zhengyan……” He looked back at Cheng Zhengyan, the other party’s eyes were so complicated that they seemed to be filled with things that people could not understand. But Xiang Ke also did not know whether the party had heard his call that was as thin as a mosquito.
However, he did not know what kind of content was inspired inside. In the next second, Xiang Ke suddenly took off his mask, raised his hand, lifting Cheng Zhengyan’s, and stepped on his feet slightly.
“Chu——"
It’s not the first time that they’ve touched each other's lips, at least on the set, they have gone through at least dozens of kissing scenes.
But at this moment, the strong unknown emotions still overwhelmed Xiang Ke, and his heart was beating so violently that it seemed to rush out of his chest.
Before he could retreat, a powerful arm came around and clasped his back tightly. At the same time, the moist tongue with a pleasant refreshing smell also opened his lips and came in.
The lips were sucked hard and the hands that were holding each other did not let go, Xiang Ke grabbed the material on Cheng Zhengyan’s chest. The kiss was unprecedentedly fierce and deep, causing him to almost suffocate.
All of Cheng Zhengyan’s senses fell into this kiss. He reconfirmed that Xiang Ke was fragrant, and even if the other person had not eaten milk candy all afternoon, there was still a smell that intoxicated him.
Xiang Ke was finally released before he was really suffocated, but then he was hugged fiercely, making him dizzy. Before he had time to look at Cheng Zhengyan’s expression, the other party had buried his head in his neck.
“Xiang Ke——Xiang Ke——"
The rapid breathing sprayed on the skin of Xiang Ke’s neck, wet and hot, repeatedly calling his name again and again. Xiang Ke shrank his neck and was a little bit unwilling to escape this strange feeling. He rubbed his side face against Cheng Zhengyan’s side face and made a puzzled nasal sound, “Hmm?”
(this translation is only here on ztranslations.blogspot.com otherwise, stolen)
“Xiang Ke——Xiang Ke——Keke——"
Cheng Zhengyan was still calling and Xiang Ke hugged him, a little worried. “Cheng Zhengyan, what’s wrong?”
Cheng Zhengyan stopped talking.
The fireworks were over which meant that all the activities in the amusement park had ended for the day. Xiang Ke looked in the distance and the couples in the square started walking in twos and threes towards the exit.
He asked Cheng Zhengyan, "Where do we go next?"
The next second, he was hugged even tighter and it took a while to slowly let go. Cheng Zhengyan stood upright and seemed to have returned to normal but Xiang Ke felt that the eyes looking at him were even deeper than before.
After staring at each other in silence for a while, Cheng Zhengyan once again lowered his head, he affectionately rubbed his nose against the tip of Xiang Ke’s nose and said, “It’s time to go back.”
“Ah?” Xiang Ke was a little disappointed. “Don’t you want to play anymore, I thought I could go to the night market……”
Cheng Zhengyan looked at him for a few seconds, then smiled and kissed the side of his face. “It’s already seven o’clock. If you don’t go back, the people in the crew will be anxious.”
A reluctant grunt came out of Xiang Ke’s nose and he clung his arms like a rogue child. Cheng Zhengyan also held him in a good temper and the two people just dangled to and fro in the same place.
After a while, Xiang Ke compromised, “Then after that, we will go to the night market.”
Cheng Zhengyan wanted to say that our dating lesson for the foolish boy is over ah, but after a few seconds of silence, he still gave an um.
Xiang Ke was happy to get the promise again. He walked briskly on the way back. “Today was so much fun!”
Although many items in the amusement park are really interesting, he has never felt so happy.
Cheng Zhengyan’s whole person looks different from when he came out in the morning. When he smiles, there is another kind that Xiang Ke very very wanted to hug his lingering temperament.
Xiang Ke can’t help being shy.
When they returned to Film and Television City, Xiang Ke fell asleep. Cheng Zhengyan parked the car without turning on the lights and watched it for a long time through the faint skylight.
Then he gently turned off the engine and opened the door; wrapped Xiang Ke tightly in his jacket, and carried him. This guy was totally unsuspecting of him so he did not wake up.
Cheng Zhengyan felt helpless.
After wandering around for a while, he heard the half-dreamy and half-asleep hum of Xiang Ke on his shoulder, “Cheng Zhengyan……”
Cheng Zhengyan looked at the road beneath his feet. “Hmm?”
Xiang Ke was silent and didn’t wake up. After a while, he asked in a daze, “……are you happy today?”
Cheng Zhengyan did not answer. He was stunned for a while, then was amused to see a chubby figure in the distance, who did not know how long he had been waiting angrily towards his side.
“En, happy.” He replied then coaxed, “Be good, go to sleep.”
