Do not raise your head, just hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Mo’s heart began to race.
His hand placed on the handle was covered by a cold palm, tightly held.
This embrace was not as warm as imagined. The scent of fresh cedar spread in the air, making Jiang Mo’s cheeks turn red. Slowly, he raised his head from Chi Yu’s embrace.
Just like before, whenever he looked at Chi Yu, those beautiful eyes had already been looking at him.
In that moment of eye contact, both of them sensed a subtle change in each other’s gaze.
Jiang Mo thought that after confirming his feelings, seeing Chi Yu again would make him nervous. However, the situation was much easier than he had imagined.
“You, you didn’t go to the hotel?” Jiang Mo freed his hand from Chi Yu’s grasp, then grabbed it back and rubbed Chi Yu’s palm with his own, trying to transfer his warmth into Chi Yu’s hand.
Chi Yu was amused by his actions. After waiting for Jiang Mo for so long, his wait was not in vain. He tasted the sweet result.
He allowed Jiang Mo to warm his hand and explained, “I couldn’t sleep, so I didn’t go. I just had a few things to take care of.”
“Aren’t you cold standing outside?” Jiang Mo felt a bit concerned and also thought Chi Yu was a bit foolish.
After waiting for six or seven hours, it would have been better to find an internet café to sit in rather than waiting at the train station.
“It’s cold,” Chi Yu raised his other hand and placed it near Jiang Mo’s mouth, lowering his voice, “Can you blow on it for me?”
Jiang Mo: “…”
Chi Yu didn’t give up because of Jiang Mo’s silence. His eyelashes drooped slightly, looking very pitiful.
Jiang Mo couldn’t resist and held Chi Yu’s hand, gently blowing on Chi Yu’s fingertips.
Laughter resonated from above again, making Jiang Mo’s ears burn.
“Why is it so easy for people to bully you when I’m not around?” Chi Yu extended his index finger and lightly touched the slightly red corner of Jiang Mo’s eye.
Jiang Mo felt ticklish by Chi Yu’s touch. He blinked and held Chi Yu’s hand, stopping Chi Yu’s fingertip at his eye corner.
“I-I wasn’t bullied,” Jiang Mo shook his head, his gaze becoming determined and serious. “I fought back.”
That tone was like someone who had done something good and wanted to seek praise from their parents. When it fell into Chi Yu’s eyes, he felt even more heartache.
“Chi Yu, I-I’m not as innocent as you think,” Jiang Mo lowered his eyelashes, concealing his guilt. “Lu Xuan and Ye Lin joined forces to frame me. Ye Lin took my cake, so he wanted to force me to steal from him. I-I didn’t agree because… I don’t want to be so useless all the time. I don’t want you to look down on me. I don’t want you to help me clean up my mess. I don’t want you to dislike me because of these things…”
“And then?” Chi Yu asked.
Jiang Mo: “I-I have done many bad things before. I owe the company a lot of breach of contract fees. Lu Xuan used that to blackmail me and make me quit the show. I-I agreed. I’m sorry. You said we would meet in the cabin, but I left without telling you. I broke my promise.”
Chi Yu remained silent. Jiang Mo’s warmth melted the tip of his finger, and without words, all of Jiang Mo’s emotions were conveyed to him.
“I didn’t want to participate in this show a long time ago. This is an opportunity,” Jiang Mo held Chi Yu’s fingers tightly, “But the most important thing is, when we’re in the cabin, there are things I can’t say to you.”
Receiving Jiang Mo’s text message, even though Jiang Mo didn’t explicitly state the answer, Chi Yu subconsciously assumed that the answer would be what he hoped for.
Hearing Jiang Mo’s words, his confidence wavered. Chi Yu suddenly became nervous, “What things?”
It wasn’t because he was afraid of being rejected by Jiang Mo, but rather, he was worried that his heart would explode when he heard Jiang Mo say it himself.
Jiang Mo finally looked up. His eyes seemed to have been washed by water, incredibly clear.
He slowly uttered each word, “Chi Yu, I’ve made up my mind.”
“Mmm.”
Chi Yu’s gaze was burning, causing Jiang Mo to swallow hard and force himself not to look away.
“Do you… do you like me?” Jiang Mo asked cautiously.
Chi Yu burst into laughter, “Is that your answer?”
Jiang Mo’s face grew even hotter. He looked at Chi Yu in bewilderment and said, “The words you said to me in the small supermarket last time, I understand their meaning now.”
“Hmm?” Chi Yu lowered his head, a smile still lingering in his eyes.
Jiang Mo asked cautiously, “You like me, right?”
Chi Yu: “You finally figured it out?”
Jiang Mo pursed his lips, trembling as he held Chi Yu’s hand. He lowered his head and slowly pressed his left cheek against Chi Yu’s palm.
“I like you too,” he whispered.
The sky was dim, and the bright stars were hidden by thick smog. The train station was empty, with only a few small supermarkets lit up. Occasionally, footsteps could be heard around the corner, only to quickly fade away in the distance.
In the chilly spring, Chi Yu wasn’t wearing a mask.
Before meeting Jiang Mo, he had splashed cold water on his face to stay awake. His wet hair was stuck to his skin, and the cold wind couldn’t dispel the warmth on his face because of Jiang Mo’s light words, which were becoming hotter and hotter.
His Adam’s apple kept rolling, and he applied a little force to the palm of his hand, pressing it against Jiang Mo’s face. When he spoke, his voice was already hoarse, “Can I kiss you?”
Jiang Mo was taken aback and instinctively pursed his lips.
Chi Yu’s eyes darkened, he lowered his head, his forehead brushed against Jiang Mo’s, exerting pressure on him as he pressed on, questioning, “Can I kiss you?”
Jiang Mo held his breath, tilted his head slightly upwards, and lightly brushed his lips against Chi Yu’s cheek. As soon as they touched, he shyly lowered his head again.
“What are you doing?” Chi Yu asked.
Jiang Mo replied, “K-kissing you.”
The corners of Chi Yu’s lips curled up, and Jiang Mo still held onto his hand, feeling the softness of his palm as his hand slowly moved downward.
Warm breath blew onto Jiang Mo’s face as Chi Yu lifted his face with his palm. His cold lips pressed against Jiang Mo’s, and Chi Yu seemed to be learning from him, lightly touching his lips and then pulling away.
“When I say ‘kiss,’ it’s like this,” Chi Yu said.
Jiang Mo’s eyelashes trembled, a fleeting moment of panic flashed in his eyes, and the next kiss came without warning.
This kiss was intense, their lips pressed hard against each other, forcing their upper and lower lips apart. Something wet and soft slid over Jiang Mo’s lower lip, and it was another brief kiss.
Jiang Mo’s brain went blank, maintaining a slightly parted lip, dumbfounded as he looked at the mischievous guy in front of him with a smile.
Jiang Mo had eaten mint candy, and between their breaths, there was a refreshing minty scent, as if he had a premonition that Chi Yu would kiss him and had prepared in advance.
Chi Yu was tempted by this imagination, and his desires were unleashed uncontrollably.
“Breathe,” Chi Yu’s voice was hoarse as he commanded.
Jiang Mo took a deep breath, his mouth couldn’t close in time, and another kiss landed. This time it was gentler than the previous one, but still more passionate than the two before.
Jiang Mo thought that lip-to-lip contact would be exciting enough, but when his tongue was enveloped and nibbled, his head turned into mush.
Dazed, he felt like he was floating on a cloud.
Breaths were repeatedly captured, and the sound of shameful moans echoed between their entangled lips and tongues.
The faint scent of cedar spread, gradually becoming stronger, surrounding him tightly. He wanted to retreat, but his face was held in Chi Yu’s palm. Chi Yu’s fingers pressed against the back of his ear, forcefully preventing him from retreating or escaping.
Eyes tightly shut, other senses heightened, lips burning, tongue tingling, strength being gradually drained.
Jiang Mo tightly grasped Chi Yu’s clothes, his lower back was held by a strong arm, unable to catch his breath. It felt like he was drowning in this long kiss.
…
The sound of a high-speed train running came from a distance, the sound of announcements reverberated in the large train station, and hurried footsteps drew closer step by step.
Jiang Mo was pressed into Chi Yu’s arms, the hoodie covering his head, his body no longer under his control. He didn’t know what had happened, and when he came to his senses, he was already sitting in Chi Yu’s car.
Chi Yu unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to his lips. Jiang Mo absentmindedly took it, holding the unopened bottle of mineral water in both hands without moving.
“Drink,” Chi Yu chuckled.
“Oh.” Jiang Mo obediently took a sip of water, but he was too nervous, and the water slipped from the corner of his lips, dripping onto his clothes.
Jiang Mo licked his lips, and the bottle of mineral water was taken away from his hand.
A dark shadow loomed in front of him as Chi Yu’s nose brushed against his, and his familiar lips pressed against his once again. Chi Yu’s lips had become hot from the previous kisses. They moved along his lower lip, kissed his chin, and took away the droplets of water on the tip of his chin.
Jiang Mo: “…”
“What are you doing?” Jiang Mo covered his own mouth.
Chi Yu said naturally, “Kissing you.”
Jiang Mo: “…”
Jiang Mo: “Didn’t we just kiss?”
“Was that enough?” Chi Yu sneered, as if mocking Jiang Mo for being too naive.
After enduring for so long, that was not nearly enough.
Jiang Mo: “…”
Chi Yu lowered his eyes, his long lashes hiding the intense desire in his eyes. He reached out and fastened Jiang Mo’s seatbelt, the crisp sound of the buckle closing, and Jiang Mo felt like a lamb about to be slaughtered, trapped in the passenger seat.
“Are you scared?” Chi Yu asked.
Jiang Mo: “W-what am I afraid of?”
“I’m not as good as you imagine. I’ve been coveting you for a long time, from a long time ago, I wanted to do this to you.”
Jiang Mo: “…”
Chi Yu asked, “Will you be scared of me like this?”
Jiang Mo instinctively shook his head quickly, “N-No, not scared.”
While stuttering, he insisted that he wasn’t scared, but no matter how it sounded, it seemed like a lie. However, his sincere eyes told Chi Yu that Jiang Mo truly wasn’t afraid at all.
The cage that had trapped the beast was opened, and once given permission, it was unstoppable.
“Can I kiss you?” The same question again.
Jiang Mo lowered his head, enduring his shyness, and softly replied, “Mm.”
So obedient.
Chi Yu leaned down, gently touching his forehead to Jiang Mo’s. Jiang Mo raised his head, and the proximity was too close, his attention captivated by Chi Yu’s dense lashes. In an instant of distraction, their lips met. Jiang Mo didn’t know where the courage came from, but this time, he didn’t shyly close his eyes. It was the first time he saw such intense emotions in Chi Yu’s eyes, gradually spreading towards him, wanting to erode him completely.
His lower lip was nibbled, causing a slight pain. To soothe him, it was gently licked.
Jiang Mo recalled a phrase his fans often said: “Chi Yu is teasing a cat.”
Chi Yu was teasing him.
However, he liked Chi Yu’s way of teasing.
“Can I take you home?” Chi Yu’s breathing became erratic, his voice hoarse.
Jiang Mo’s lips were swollen, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with a reddish color from the suffocating kiss. He blinked away the shimmering tears, his eyelashes moist with tears. Before he could recover, Chi Yu’s words left him stunned.
Home?
Whose home?
Chi Yu wiped away the tears from Jiang Mo’s face, gently comforting him, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. My place is relatively close by, I want to take you home to rest properly, and besides, I’m also a bit tired.”
Hearing Chi Yu mention being tired, Jiang Mo no longer hesitated and nodded, “O-Okay.”
Chi Yu curved his lips and kissed Jiang Mo’s cheek, praising him, “So obedient.”
Jiang Mo: “…”
In the middle of the drive, the car suddenly stopped by the roadside. Chi Yu told Jiang Mo to wait and got out of the car to buy many things from a nearby breakfast shop.
“Let’s eat first.” Chi Yu handed Jiang Mo some buns and soy milk.
Jiang Mo took them but didn’t eat, saying, “I-I want to eat with you.”
Chi Yu chuckled, “Okay.”
Chi Yu’s home was a half-hour drive from the train station. After the confession, it was a storm of kisses, and Jiang Mo still hadn’t recovered yet.
The car entered a row of villas and finally stopped in a yard filled with peach blossoms. Jiang Mo, feeling a bit dizzy, was led out of the car by Chi Yu. He wasn’t in the mood to examine what Chi Yu’s home looked like and was once again led into Chi Yu’s house.
The house hadn’t been occupied for a long time, and it was colder inside than outside.
“Meow.” The sound of a small cat came from Jiang Mo’s feet, and his lower leg was brushed by something soft. Jiang Mo snapped back to his senses and locked eyes with a white stuffed cat on the ground.
“Its name is Guantou.” Chi Yu squatted down, reaching out to touch the cat’s chin. The cat purred contentedly and flopped on the ground, revealing its belly to Chi Yu.
“Is… is it the one in your profile picture?” Jiang Mo also crouched down
with Chi Yu.
“Yes.”
Jiang Mo: “Did… did you leave it alone at home?”
Chi Yu: “It’s used to being here and doesn’t like living in other people’s homes. My assistant comes to take care of it every day.”
“I see. Can I touch it?” Jiang Mo’s hands were itching; he had never seen such an obedient cat that would expose its belly to be petted.
Chi Yu: “It’s quite timid.”
“I see.” Jiang Mo felt a bit disappointed.
“But,” Chi Yu smiled, “it’s fine if you have my scent on you. It won’t reject you.”
Jiang Mo: “…”
Blushing, Jiang Mo was influenced by Chi Yu’s words and remembered what had just happened.
He had a lot of Chi Yu’s scent on him.
“Aren’t you going to touch it?” Chi Yu smiled and looked at Jiang Mo.
In any case, since they’ve already kissed, if he doesn’t touch now and wants to touch next time, wouldn’t he have to kiss Chi Yu first before he can touch?
Jiang Mo reached out his hand and cautiously touched the little cat’s paw. The cat’s sapphire blue eyes turned and looked at Jiang Mo, as if assessing this stranger. It spread out its limbs, showing no rejection towards Jiang Mo’s touch.
Jiang Mo felt completely at ease and pinched the little cat’s chubby paw. The cat meowed at him twice, its voice soft and clingy, as if it was acting spoiled.
“It’s… it’s so obedient.” Jiang Mo was surprised, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Chi Yu: “Yes, it is very obedient.”
Just pinching the paw wasn’t enough, and Jiang Mo’s hands began to touch the cat all over. Chi Yu stood up and said, “Breakfast has gone cold, I’ll go heat it up.”
Jiang Mo was captivated by the stuffed cat and didn’t hear what Chi Yu said. Helpless, Chi Yu leaned down and touched Jiang Mo’s head, his fingers sliding across Jiang Mo’s face, gently holding his chin with a hint of dissatisfaction, and asked, “Did you hear me?”
“W-What?” Jiang Mo blinked innocently.
“I said,” Chi Yu helplessly and amusingly said, “I like you.”
“Did you hear me?”
Jiang Mo’s face instantly turned red, and he stammered, “Y-Yes, I heard.”
“Good.” Chi Yu finally felt satisfied and released Jiang Mo.
Reheating breakfast didn’t take too long. Chi Yu returned to the living room, and Jiang Mo had completely let go. He knelt on the floor, burying his face in the cat’s belly, truly experiencing the joy of cuddling a cat.
The cat didn’t struggle and even let out a soft “meow,” its voice low. When it meowed like this, it only made people want to do whatever they pleased.
Unable to contain his laughter, Chi Yu reached out and lifted Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo’s clothes were covered in cat fur. Chi Yu laughed and picked off the fur, then gently rubbed Jiang Mo’s blushing face.
He pointed in a direction and said, “The bathroom is over there. There are disposable towels in the drawer. Go wash up.”
Jiang Mo followed Chi Yu’s instructions and went to the bathroom to wash his face. When he looked at his current face in the mirror, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality.
His fair little face was flushed, his eyes glistening with moisture, as if he had been well cared for. His lower lip was slightly swollen, red to the extreme.
He had spent so much time with Chi Yu looking like this?
Ah, how embarrassing.
Jiang Mo turned on the tap and submerged his face in the accumulated water, trying to drown out the voices in his head with the sound of water.
It was so embarrassing, and so shameful.
He lingered for a while until his mood completely calmed down, then he came out of the bathroom.
The little cat followed his scent to the bathroom door. Jiang Mo opened the door and saw the little cat obediently squatting by the door, meowing at him.
So… so well-behaved.
No wonder Chi Yu doted on this little cat so much.
Jiang Mo picked up the little cat and decided not to wash his face again. This time, he dared not bury his face in the cat’s belly.
Chi Yu had also prepared food for the cat. The two of them, along with the cat, had a quiet breakfast in the dining room.
…
The haze receded, and sunlight illuminated the room.
After clearing the plates, Chi Yu walked up to Jiang Mo and without giving him time to react, he wrapped his arms around Jiang Mo’s waist and lifted him up.
Jiang Mo was startled, instinctively holding onto Chi Yu’s neck for safety.
“What… what are you doing?” His voice trembled.
Chi Yu nuzzled against Jiang Mo’s shoulder, his voice somewhat weary. “I’m tired.”
“Huh?” If he’s tired, he should go to sleep. Why is he carrying him?
Chi Yu rubbed against Jiang Mo’s shoulder and said, “Come sleep with me.”
“…Sleep?” Is that what he’s implying?
Is this what adulthood is like? Is it happening so fast?
Jiang Mo trembled nervously all over.
“Is it not allowed?” Chi Yu raised his head, his eyes downcast, his voice pitiful.
“…I…” Jiang Mo couldn’t resist Chi Yu’s expression, especially when Chi Yu looked up at him. It was too pitiful.
“You… be gentle, and then… it’s fine.” Jiang Mo gritted his teeth, his ears almost dripping blood after saying that.
Jiang Mo was easy to understand, and Chi Yu knew exactly what Jiang Mo was thinking. He mischievously wanted to tease Jiang Mo a little.
Upon hearing Jiang Mo’s words, his heart softened instantly.
How could he be so obedient? It would be a great sin if he didn’t treasure him properly.
Chi Yu buried his face in Jiang Mo’s shoulder, unable to suppress his laughter, which seeped out.
“Why… why are you laughing?” Jiang Mo covered his face, feeling embarrassed after agreeing to it, yet Chi Yu was still laughing at him!
Outrageous.
Chi Yu raised his head again, his gaze tender, and his voice soft. “It’s not what you’re thinking.”
“…I…” Jiang Mo remained silent.
Chi Yu said, “You probably haven’t slept much either. Come and nap with me. I just want to hold you and do nothing else.”
“…I…” Jiang Mo didn’t say a word. Chi Yu carried him upstairs, placed his body on the soft bed, and the sheets and blankets carried Chi Yu’s scent, enveloping him from head to toe.
Chi Yu closed the curtains, dimming the room slightly.
The mattress beside him sank as Chi Yu got into bed and tightly embraced him from behind.
“Go to sleep.”
“Liar…” Jiang Mo buried his face in the pillow, his voice muffled.
Chi Yu kissed Jiang Mo’s ear and admitted, “Yes, I’m a liar.”
“…I…”
“If you call me a liar, does that mean you actually wanted me to do something to you?” Chi Yu stifled his laughter. “I actually wanted to, but there are no safety supplies at home. Next time, I’ll remember to prepare them. Sorry, you’ll have to wait a little longer.”
“…I…”
“I… I’m tired.” Jiang Mo pulled his hat down, covering his own head.
Chi Yu smiled, kissed Jiang Mo through the hat, and tightly embraced him in his arms.
“Sleep tight, boyfriend.”
Goddddddd I love them~
But I’m going to miss the netizens commentary on how they interact. XD
AAHHHH!!! WHY ARE THEY SO ADORABLE?
