When the delivery arrived. Cheng Yu took out a bowl of congee and started eating it all by himself. Chen Hua could only watch as his mouth salivated.
“Those who do not work, do not get to eat.” Cheng Yu continued to slowly shovel food into his mouth to spite Chen Hua.
“Work? Can’t you see I’m disabled?” There was only one thing on Chen Hua’s mind, and that was to eat,sleep and shit!
“While you’re not able to move your legs, you can still move your hands and your mouth.”
“Especially your mouth, it talks too much. Let’s find ways to utilize that excess energy shall we?” Cupping Chen Hua’s chin with his hand, Cheng Yu traced Chen Hua’s luscious lips with a finger as he moved closer to Chen Hua’s face. As he did, Chen Hua unconsciously closed his eyes.
Upon doing so, Cheng Yu immediately froze in his tracks and pulled away. “I was just kidding, here’s your share.” Taking out another container of congee for Chen Hua who quickly swiped it from his hands.

Chen Hua’s heart was still pounding from when Cheng Yu’s face so close to his. He could still feel the heat from where Cheng Yu touched him. Shit! Why did I close my eyes? I’m not gay! To be expecting a kiss from another man! I rather be the one kissing the lovely maids! But Chen Hua could not deny that Cheng Yu had attractive facial features.
With a belly full of food, Chen Hua sat back contentedly. Staring down Cheng Yu for eating slower than him. He felt a sense of superiority.
After he was done eating, Cheng Yu made his way to Chen Hua’s side, toying with a lock of Chen Hua’s hair. “Your hair’s a mess. Take care of it.”
“Eh? Such a chore, if I cut my hair short I wouldn’t need to care for it as much right? Chen Hua grumbled while smoothing out knots in his hair with a brush.
Oh! Or I could use a rubber band and tie it all up right now!” Didn’t I see in all of those variety shows where the women talk about using rubber bands as hair bands?
Cheng Yu grimaced at the idea of Chen Hua tying his hair up with a rubber band. “Please don’t.”
“I actually think your hair is beauti-” Cheng Yu managed to catch himself before he could make a slip of the tongue. “I firmly believe with some work, your hair will match up to those of celebrities.”

“Then you help me do it!” Shoving the hairbrush into Cheng Yu’s hand, Chen Hua turned his back to Cheng Yu, gesturing towards his hair. If I, a man don’t know how to brush my hair, I doubt that you, a man wouldn’t know either!
Who knew that Cheng Yu would be so skilful! As though he had the skills of a master, Cheng Yu untangled all the knots with a single stroke of his hand. Afterwards, while brushing Chen Hua’s hair, he used his nimble fingers to massage Chen Hua’s scalp. As he did, Cheng Yu felt Chen Hua’s body subtly relax and knew that Chen Hua had fallen asleep.
Cheng Yu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. He then carried Chen Hua to his bed which Chen Hua had laid claim to, and laid him down to rest. Seeing Chen Hua sleeping so soundly from his efforts like a sleeping beauty, Cheng Yu reached out to brush Chen Hua’s hair off his forehead before caressing his cheek.
At that moment, Cheng Yu felt a strange sensation gripping his heart, causing his heart to tremble for a second. Quickly retracting his hand with a grim look on his face, Cheng Yu left the room.
…
Upon waking up, Chen Hua got into a wheelchair with the help of a maid and wheeled around the house in search of Cheng Yu.
But he was nowhere to be found. Thus Chen Hua questioned a nearby maid, “Have you seen Cheng Yu?”
“Oh, Mr.Lin? He left for work. Also, he’s prepared a new phone for you, it’s on the dining table. He has instructed that you may call him if you needed anything else.”
Finaly! A phone! Although Chen Hua was a loner and did not have any friends to call or message, he’d use his phone as a source of entertainment. From watching heartthrobbing korean dramas to reading the dull and uninteresting news headlines, Chen Hua would also use his phone to save ‘naked exercise videos’ to watch for his ‘alone time’.
But most importantly, with another phone, Chen Hua could use the SIM card from his locked phone to see who knew the person whose body he was in.
Upon setting up his brand new phone, Chen Hua received a throng of messages.
[I am a deposed Nigerian Prince and you are my last living relative! Please send me your bank account details so that I can transfer you part of the inheritance.]
[Hello, want to borrow money TODAY? Our company is offering LOW interest rates for just this week!]
Aside from the obvious scams and loan shark advertisements, there were 60 missed messages and 7 missed calls from someone who had their contract save as Xiaoming. The contents of the messages were so awfully mushy that Chen Hua wanted to puke.
[Bingbing, please respond!]
[I know you’re still mad, but please let’s meet up and talk.]
[I still love you.]
Chen Hua stayed silent. For a single bachelor like himself to suddenly face love problems? Chen Hua received heavy damage to his heart. It was a critical hit!
For his own sake, Chen Hua deleted all of the messages from Xiaoming and pretend like he had not read any of the messages. He then decided to stop reading the rest of the messages in fear of further damaging his eyes.
If he had bleach, he'd wash his eyes with it.
