Insufficient balance

  Eleven o'clock at night is the eve of midnight, and this time of night is always the most contradictory. It's like a child holding two favorite toys in their hands, always unsure which one to play with, feeling reluctant to put down either toy, yet unable to fully enjoy either one when holding both.

  At this time, the night is also like this. On the brightly lit street, many young people are starting to begin their beautiful nightlife, while in those residential buildings, people with regular lives have already begun preparing for a dreamy entrance.

  This night of eleven points is so contradictory, that piece of darkness does not know whether it is used to help the people who are happy under the bright lights or as a lullaby for those who are ready to sleep. Such nights always give different meanings to each person.

  Li Zhihui drove his black Volkswagen, with Yan Nan sitting in the back seat and Lin Xiaoyu lying on Yan Nan's lap.

  Yan Nan was holding Lin Xiaoyu, who had already fallen asleep. He lay on his own legs, although Yan Nan felt that his legs were a bit numb from being used as a pillow by Lin Xiaoyu. However, he didn't mind at all and didn't dare to move his slightly numb legs, fearing that it would wake Lin Xiaoyu up. Yan Nan was very much enjoying this moment.

  The lights outside the car window flashed by from time to time, shining on Lin Xiaoyu's sleeping face. Lin Xiaoyu's delicate face had a flush of intoxication, and in the flashing light, it was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. This made Yan Nan look a bit dazed. For the first time, Yan Nan looked at Lin Xiaoyu's familiar face so closely, for the first time he was so close to Lin Xiaoyu, and in the strong smell of alcohol on Lin Xiaoyu's body, Yan Nan could sniff out the familiar scent on Lin Xiaoyu's body.

  Yan Nan couldn't help but lower his head and lightly kiss Lin Xiaoyu's tightly closed lips. Yan Nan's falling hair touched Lin Xiaoyu's face, causing the still sleeping Lin Xiaoyu to naturally tilt his head slightly. Lin Xiaoyu's subconscious action made Yan Nan, who was kissing his lips, hastily lift his head like a startled rabbit. With a red face, Yan Nan stole a glance at Lin Xiaoyu, who seemed to have no intention of waking up, and his tense expression eased a little, but his heart was still racing wildly. Yan Nan had never thought that his first kiss would be in such a situation, where he secretly gave it to the boy he loved, while the boy who received his first kiss remained completely unaware...

  Yan Nan looked at Lin Xiaoyu's face, still sleeping like a little kid, and silently recited in his heart: Xiaoyu, oh Xiaoyu, do you know how much I love you? Do you also love me......?

  Li Zhihui, with his hands on the steering wheel, inadvertently caught a glimpse of his usually serious-faced cousin in the rearview mirror. A faint smile curled up at the corner of Li Zhihui's mouth - his cousin had really grown up, and Lin Xiaoyu was actually quite a good kid; he and Nannan made a pretty compatible couple.

  Yan Nan didn't know where Lin Xiaoyu's home was, and Li Zhihui didn't either. So Li Zhihui suggested sending Lin Xiaoyu to his own home for the night, but Yan Nan instead asked Li Zhihui to send Lin Xiaoyu to her home. She said that tonight her father and mother were both away on business, so only she and the nanny were at home. There was a guest room where Lin Xiaoyu could stay overnight.

  Li Zhihui couldn't have been unaware of the thoughts of his precious cousin, so he sent Lin Xiaoyu to Yan Nan's home.

  Li Zhihui hung up the phone. Just now, he had called Xiaoyu's family members according to his cousin's instructions, pretending to be Xiaoyu's classmate, and it had been many years since Li Zhihui had tried this kind of excuse for not returning home at night. At this time, after saying a few words on the phone, he felt a bit familiar with the situation, and even Yan Nan, who was listening beside him, almost thought that his 8-year-older cousin was really Xiaoyu's classmate.

  "Alright, Nannan, I'm leaving. Xiaoyu is sleeping at your place tonight, if anything happens just call my phone." Li Zhihui took a glance at Lin Xiaoyu who was asleep on Yan Nan's bed, it wasn't an easy task to carry Lin Xiaoyu from the car to this bed, luckily this building had an elevator or else Li Zhihui would have been exhausted. Although Lin Xiaoyu looked a bit thin, he was actually quite sturdy, plus his height of 1.8 meters made him not an easy person to carry. Li Zhihui was grateful for his own tall and strong physique of 1.88 meters.

  "Alright, brother Hui. Thanks, drive safely on your way home. Don't speed after drinking." Yan Nan saw her older male cousin off at the door.

  "Aunt Song, can you help me make a cup of hot tea? My friend is drunk and I'm going to let him rest at my place tonight. Don't tell my parents, okay?" Yan Nan said to the nanny, Aunt Song, who was standing behind her with a puzzled expression after seeing Yan Nan bring a drunken boy back home.

  Song Yi was a woman in her forties, who had been working as a nanny at Yan Nan's home since he was born. She took care of Yan Nan with the same tenderness and love as if he were her own daughter. Yan Nan also liked this kind and caring aunt who had taken care of him since childhood.

  Song's aunt had never seen Yan Nan bring a male classmate home before, so she was a bit surprised to see this drunk boy brought back by Yan Nan tonight. However, when she saw that the boy was sent by Yan Nan's cousin, she thought he should be close to Yan Nan and not a bad kid, so she put her mind at ease.

  Song Yi handed a hot towel to Yan Nan, saying lovingly: "Nan Nan, go take a bath and rest for a while. I'll help you make some tea. You didn't drink too much wine, did you?"

  "I don't have much wine, Song Auntie, can you help me bring the pillows from the guest room to my room?" Yan Nan took the hot towel that Song Auntie handed him to wipe his face, but instead used it to gently and carefully wipe Lin Xiaoyu's face as she lay on his bed.

  Song's aunt saw that the little princess Nannan, who usually had to take care of herself, was now being so meticulous with a boy. She couldn't help but speculate about the identity of this drunk boy. This fairly handsome boy wouldn't be Nannan's boyfriend, would he? Looking at Nannan, who was getting prettier and more charming every day, Song's aunt couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

  Yan Nan carefully took off Lin Xiaoyu's shoes and socks. Yan Nan had originally wanted to take off Lin Xiaoyu's jeans as well, so that he could sleep more comfortably, but the girl's shyness made her hesitate, thinking it would be too embarrassing. So Yan Nan let Lin Xiaoyu sleep in his bed with his clothes still on.

  After taking a hot bath, Yan Nan, wearing adorable suspenders pajamas, walked out of the bathroom while using a towel to wipe her wet hair. She said to Song Ayi, who was still busy: "Song Ayi, it's quite late now, you go rest first, I'll blow dry my hair and then head to the guest room to sleep."

  Song Yi nodded and reminded Yan Nan a few times before returning to her room to rest.

  Yan Nan's home was a five-room, two-hall house, very spacious. Yan Nan walked into his own room.

  Yan Nan's room is a bit different from that of an ordinary girl. The room is decorated beautifully, but it looks very simple. There are several posters of soccer stars and rock stars on the wall in Yan Nan's room. You can't find any dolls or stuffed animals like those you would normally see in a girl's room. The only evidence that suggests the owner of this room is a girl might be some cosmetics and skincare products placed on the dresser.

  Normally at this time, Yan Yun would choose to go online and listen to music in his own room to relax himself for a good quality sleep. But now, Yan Yun did not open the computer on his desk, nor did he turn on the speaker. Yan Yun simply sat back in the small swivel chair in front of his desk, with both hands folded on the backrest, and then placed his chin on the back of his hands. Two big and bright eyes quietly looked at Lin Xiaoyu who was sleeping like a child in front of him, Yan Yun felt that this was more enjoyable than any other time.

  Yan Nan really hoped that Lin Xiaoyu would wake up at this time, and accompany him to talk under the moonlight on the balcony; Yan Nan was afraid that Lin Xiaoyu's waking up would make himself feel awkward, after all, he had never brought a boy home before, and let this boy sleep in his own bed; Yan Nan also hoped that Lin Xiaoyu could wake up, so that he could pour out all the words he had been hiding in his heart to him; but Yan Nan was afraid that when Lin Xiaoyu woke up, he would become tongue-tied due to nervousness, let alone confessing those embarrassing secrets in his heart.

  Yan Nan sat like this in the small swivel chair, staring blankly at Lin Xiaoyu's face, which was sleeping as peacefully as a child, her thoughts fluctuating up and down, hesitating...

  Yan Nan felt a wave of drowsiness, Yan Nan got up and walked to the bed where Lin Xiaoyu was sleeping, bent down and gently kissed Lin Xiaoyu's lips. This time Yan Nan had experience, she used her hand to tie up her long hair, so that it wouldn't fall on Lin Xiaoyu's face again.

  Yan Nan finished kissing and carefully helped Lin Xiaoyu fold the quilt with a red face. Yan Nan walked to the door, looked back at Lin Xiaoyu with deep affection, turned off the lights in the room, opened the door, and slowly walked out of the room.

  Not long after, Yan Nuo's room door was opened again. Yan Nuo quietly closed the door and slowly climbed onto his bed. Yan Nuo really didn't want to sleep alone in that quiet study, he was unwilling to leave Lin Xiao Yu, the boy he had fallen deeply in love with.

  Yan Nan lay in her bed for the first time with such care, Yan Nan lay beside Lin Xiao Yu, Yan Nan felt very happy. Yan Nan borrowed the gentle moonlight on the windowsill to quietly look at Lin Xiao Yu's profile as he lay on his back, listening to his slow breathing and her own racing heartbeat, but Yan Nan felt a sense of security in this moment.

  "Goodnight, Xiaoyu. I hope that in your dreams, you'll see the same scenes of us being together." Yan Nang mustered up his courage and whispered softly into Lin Xiaoyu's ear, then gently kissed her cheek once more before closing his own eyes.

  Yan Nan leaned against Lin Xiaoyu as much as possible, closed her eyes, and smelled the familiar and slightly intoxicating scent of Lin Xiaoyu, slowly falling into a dreamland...

  The half-moon in the sky was still gently sprinkling its radiance, when a wandering dark cloud drifted unintentionally to her lower side, as if veiling that intoxicating moon with a mysterious veil, making the goddess scattering moonlight even more mystical and enchanting. The clear winds chasing in the moonlight were trying again and again, just to lift off the veil she was wearing... Such an intoxicating night always quietly unfolds some beautiful stories...
