How should a lover’s kiss be defined and how should it be described?

The feeling of kissing is like an unpredictable tide that comes from time to time, but as soon as you see your lover, the tide comes around immediately.

Suo Yang was holding a handful of roses in his hand that the careful shopkeeper had removed the thorns from the stems.

His wrist was pulled by Shen Huiming, his waist was circled by Shen Huiming, his lips were sucked by Shen Huiming, and his whole body was loved by Shen Huiming.

A rose petal fell lightly, and it fell beside the vase, lying there quietly and looking up at the two men who were kissing intimately.

After the kiss was over, Shen Huiming smiled and said, “I thought you would be shy about these things.”

In Shen Huiming’s view, Suo Yang was the kind of person who kept his world tightly closed, a conservative and serious person. Before they got together, Shen Huiming even thought, if one day they kiss, would Suo Yang blush to the point of being embarrassed to respond to him?

However, this kind of reserved shyness did not appear, everything about Suo Yang was natural and appropriate.

Even when they were making love, Suo Yang didn’t shy away from it. Suo Yang even cooperated generously and even took the initiative at the right time.

“For me, it’s meaningless to be shy in this way.” Suo Yang smiled at him and then continued to bow his head to arrange flowers, “We’ve spent a lot of time testing each other, going back and forth, and when we get to this point, all we have to do is enjoy ourselves.”

He paused, turned around and looked at Shen Huiming with a smile, “Or do you want to see me shy? Perhaps I can play along with you a little.”

Shen Huiming laughed, “That’s not necessary. I’m not looking for much in this area, the only thing I’m looking for is for you to feel comfortable.”

Suo Yang turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and gave him a flower in his hand.

“Presenting the Buddha with borrowed flowers.¹” Suo Yang said, “Borrowing the Buddha’s flowers and offering them to him again.”

“I’m not the Buddha.” Shen Huiming took the flower and gently rubbed the petals with his fingers, “I’m just a vulgar man who can’t get away from the low life.”

Suo Yang laughed, “Whether you are a man or the Buddha depends on what the people who see you think of you. If I say you are my Buddha, then you are.”

Shen Huiming looked at Suo Yang in a daze.

“Am I so important in your heart?”

“In fact, I don’t believe in gods and Buddhas, and I don’t have any beliefs,” Suo Yang said, “but being with you made me suddenly understand the ‘crossing over’ that Buddhism talks about.”

“You have an understanding of Buddhist teaching too?” Shen Huiming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and wondered what this person usually watched.

“I don’t,” Suo Yang smiled, “I just flip through books when I’m bored.”

While arranging flowers, he said, “It’s been a long time ago. I saw that the ‘crossing over’ in Buddhism is to use Buddhist teaching to cross people from this shore of the ocean of birth and death to the other shore where there is no birth and no death; and that the so-called ‘other shore’ is, in fact, the realm of constant happiness and purity.”

Shen Huiming rubbed his eyebrows, “I really suffered from my lack of education.”

Suo Yang leaned against him and laughed out loud, “To put it bluntly, falling in love with you makes me happy, comfortable, at ease, free from worries and sorrows. You brought me from a realistic and uninteresting world to a Garden of Eden that I can’t describe and define, so…”

He gently poked Shen Huiming’s chest with his finger, “You are my Buddha.”

The rose itself may be an aphrodisiac, or the person who knocked on the door of the apartment with a rose had hidden meth. Suo Yang himself did not expect that he would say such a thing, or that after he finished speaking, he would kiss Shen Huiming’s lips on his own initiative.

The sour love words were still on the tip of his tongue, and Suo Yang ‘crossed’ them to Shen Huiming.

The two were lying on the ground kissing, and accidentally pressed the rose under their bodies, staining Shen Huiming’s white shirt red.

“The long holiday is coming soon.²” The lingering kiss ended in the evening when the sun was setting. Shen Huiming put his arms around Suo Yang, lay there and looked out the window at the sky that was dyed pink and orange, “Have you made arrangements for your flight for those days? I have nothing to do, I can fly with you.”

Suo Yang leaned on his arm, hooking Shen Huiming’s little finger with his fingers.

“Boss Shen is really not stingy with air ticket money.” Suo Yang deliberately teased him, “This boss really has a lot of money.”

Shen Huiming smiled and tickled him, “Then what should I do? I finally had a vacation and wanted to make out with my boyfriend, but my boyfriend still has to work.”

Suo Yang was ticklish, and when he was tickled like this, he shrank into Shen Huiming’s arms.

The two big men made a scene like two silly elementary school students. After they had enough, they hugged each other and snickered at each other.

===

When Shen Huiming and Suo Yang went out to their appointment with Zhou Mo, they were wearing Suo Yang’s shirt.

Just now, the two were lying on the floor and messing around, but roses stained their clothes.

The two are about the same height. Suo Yang was a little thinner than Shen Huiming, but they wore the same size.

Walking down the street in their lovers’ clothes was a secret pleasure as if telling the world that you had been locked up by your sweetheart. Although no one else noticed or cared except yourself and your lover, it was a wonderful experience for them.

One’s own scent was tainted with the other’s, and the other’s clothes were tainted with his scent.

Even the body heat of his clothes was left on them.

Before going to dinner, Suo Yang told Zhou Mo in advance that Shen Huiming would also be there. Suo Yang had to seek the other party’s opinion first. If Zhou Mo said he only wanted to have dinner with him alone, he would go to the appointment first and then make up for Shen Huiming.

After all, Zhou Mo was the one he made an appointment with first.

But Zhou Mo was a man who could not miss the opportunity to tease Shen Huiming in person. This guy had pretended he had no plans to fall in love before but ended up ‘cheating’ on his best friend behind his back, and Zhou Mo was eager to have him over.

When the three of them met, Zhou Mo immediately recognized that the clothes on Shen Huiming belonged to Suo Yang.

“What did you two do just now?” Zhou Mo smiled maliciously, “Where’s old Shen’s clothes?”

Shen Huiming and Suo Yang looked at each other, deliberately not speaking.

Suo Yang sat down and replied without changing his face, “His clothes were dirty, so he wore mine.”

The word ‘gossip’ was almost written all over Zhou Mo’s face. He dragged his chin and looked at the two of them, “How did you get it dirty? Tell me more about it?”

Suo Yang smiled softly and picked up the menu, “Have you ordered?”

“No, I’m waiting for you to get some.” Zhou Mo said, “How did it get dirty? Don’t change the subject.”

Suo Yang ignored him and looked down at the menu.

Zhou Mo turned around and asked Shen Huiming, “Old Shen, tell me, what were you two doing?”

“Kissing.” It was Suo Yang who answered him, “He bought flowers, but they were pressed during the kiss, and the clothes were stained.”

“…Okay, I see.” Zhou Mo took a breath, “I get the picture.”

Shen Huiming tapped the table in front of Zhou Zhou with a fork helplessly, “I advise you not to masturbate to the two of us.”

“Can’t help it, you two are my source of pleasure these days.”

“Where’s Cheng Sen?” Shen Huiming asked, “Is he away on a business trip again?”

“Yeah, I haven’t seen him for three days, and all I can do is sex video call him. It’s not fun.” Zhou Mo said it openly, and the two people sitting across from him were already used to his uninhibited manner.

Suo Yang put the menu between him and Shen Huiming, and the two leaned together to order.

“Look at what you want to eat,” Suo Yang said when handing the menu back to Zhou Mo, “You haven’t been busy lately?”

“It’s okay, mainly because I don’t have the energy to work when my husband is away.” Zhou Mo sighed, “I’m different from you, I’m a goblin who earns and absorbs yang energy. If my husband is away, I can’t absorb yang energy. I can’t even feel happy.”

Suo Yang smiled and took a sip of water.

Zhou Mo ordered something random and then began to ‘interrogate’ Shen Huiming.

“Tell me, what’s the matter with you?” Zhou Mo said, “Does old Jiang know that you have pried his corner again?”

“Oh, you can’t talk nonsense like that.” Shen Huiming said, “I knew Suo Yang much earlier than him.”

Zhou Mo sneered, “But this is someone’s blind date partner!”

“You also said that it’s just a blind date, and the relationship is not confirmed.” Shen Huiming said, “This is a two-way choice.”

Zhou Mo curled his lips and smiled, “Jiang Tongyan must be dying of anger.”

“No, he’s busy.”

When he said he was busy, Zhou Mo muttered, “You all are so busy every day, it’s a wonder anyone wants to be with you.”

“Isn’t it?” Shen Huiming smiled, “I also find it incredible.”

Suo Yang was quietly listening to these two bickering on the side and found it quite amusing.

“However, you’re really lucky.” Zhou Mo lamented as he rested his chin and looked at the two people before him.

“Why do you say so?” Shen Huiming asked.

Suo Yang also raised his head to look at Zhou Mo. Originally expecting him to say something complimenting him, but what Zhou Mo said was, “Suo Yang is not like me, he can stand loneliness, he won’t do anything even if you are busy and don’t touch him for 10 days and a half a month, but I can’t. This old Cheng has been gone for three days, and I have to let him coax me to sleep every night from thousands of kilometres away. He is almost exhausted by me.”

He said these words there solemnly, and the two people on the opposite side couldn’t help laughing.

“Stop talking nonsense.” Suo Yang said, “Let’s talk about something serious.”

“This is very serious!” Zhou Mo said, “If you don’t have a satisfying sex life, you will easily become crazy!”

“Are you going crazy?” Shen Huiming deliberately teased him.

“Soon.” Zhou Mo blinked at the two of them and suddenly said with a smirk, “Old Shen, I advise you to guard against me as much as guarding against Jiang Tongyan. Maybe someday I’ll go crazy and climb up Suo Yang’s bed…”

“Sorry to interrupt.” Shen Huiming said, “I forgot to tell you earlier, my phone is on record, Cheng Sen he……”

“I’m just joking!” Zhou Mo suddenly became serious, “My heart and my body belong only to my husband!”

Suo Yang was amused by him, and his whole body relaxed against Shen Huiming’s shoulder.

“That’s so nice, ugh.” Zhou Mo looked at those two and suddenly stopped joking and said seriously, “I’ve been worried for a while.”

Suo Yang looked at him, “What are you worried about?”

“I’m worried that you will just live your life boringly by yourself.” Zhou Mo said, “I’m afraid that you really don’t trust others because of the things in the past. When I think that you would end up alone, my heart aches.”

Chapter 87

July 7, 2023 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard that, he hugged Ning Junyan’s waist, feeling that the thirty-year-old Ning Junyan still looked like an unreasonable child sometimes, so he said, “Where do you want him to go? “

Ning Junyan responded indifferently, “As long as he doesn’t stay here.”

Chen Yuncheng looked up at him, “And then are you going to sleep on the upper bunk?”

Ning Junyan touched his face and said, “Sleep on top of you.”

Chen Yuncheng looked at him with a smile for a while, then moved closer to kiss his lips. The two hugged and kissed on the narrow single bed, their movements were soothing and gentle, and the surrounding environment seemed to have become quieter.

This warmth continued until Guan Anlin suddenly opened the door from outside and stepped in.

Chen Yuncheng was taken aback and hurriedly turned his head to look over.

Guan Anlin, who was about to enter the door, was even more frightened and cursed, “Damn it!” He backed out from the door and closed the door heavily with his hands raised.

Wu Xiaozhu, who was sitting at the counter playing with a mobile phone, raised her head in astonishment and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Guan Anlin’s face turned red and pale, and he held the doorknob with one hand and was not moving for a long time.

Wu Xiaozhu couldn’t help but leaned over to take a look, and seeing that the door was closed, she suddenly remembered and said to Guan Anlin, “I forgot to tell you, doctor Ning came by just now.”

Guan Anlin glared at her, blaming her for not speaking earlier.

At this time, Chen Yuncheng opened the door from the inside and said to Guan Anlin who was standing at the door, “Why are you standing there for? Come in.”

Guan Anlin walked in, glanced cautiously at the bed, saw Ning Junyan sitting by the bed, made sure that both of them were fully dressed, then closed the door behind his back and complained, “Can you two stop doing this stuff here in the middle of the day?”

Chen Yuncheng asked casually, “Do you want us to do it on the street?”

Guan Anlin found that he didn’t know how to refute for a while.

Chen Yuncheng leaned against the table, looked at Guan Anlin for a while, and asked, “Where did you go this afternoon?”

Guan Anlin said, “Just outside.”

“You’ve been running outside lately?” Chen Yuncheng thought he was a little strange.

Guan Anlin only said, “Yes, I just went out when I had nothing else to do.” He walked towards the bathroom while talking as if he was trying to avoid Chen Yuncheng’s conversation.

Chen Yuncheng looked at his back somewhat strangely, then looked away after a while and asked Ning Junyan, “Are you leaving now?”

“No,” Ning Junyan stood up and answered him, “I’ll wait for you to close up and go back together.”

Chen Yuncheng nodded, “Okay.”

Ning Junyan’s house was in a good location, and the neighbourhood environment was also good. The decoration of the house looked very new, and it was simple and beautiful. If it was put up for sale to an agent, it wouldn’t take too long for someone came to inquire.

Chen Yuncheng knew that Ning Junyan was determined to sell the house and move out to live with him this time, but he did not ask Guan Anlin to move out. He temporarily rented a house between the trade market and the hospital where Ning Junyan worked and moved out on his own.

Guan Anlin was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Chen Yuncheng wanted to move to live with Ning Junyan and complained, “Are you really going to spend the rest of your life with him?”

Chen Yuncheng was packing up his things at the moment, took out the clothes from the simple closet, folded them and put them in the box, and said, “What kind of relationship that you won’t be in for the rest of your life?”

By now, Guan Anlin had given up the idea of correcting Chen Yuncheng, but he was still a little worried and asked, “Is he reliable?”

Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer directly but asked in return, “What do you think?”

Guan Anlin remained silent, probably thinking that Ning Junyan’s feelings for Chen Yuncheng seemed quite dependable, but he just didn’t believe that the two men could live a lifetime together.

“Ugh—” Guan Anlin sat on the edge of the bed, and so, the lower bunk will be his from now on. He took off his shoes and stepped on the bed with one foot, “My sister will be coming over for college soon.”

Chen Yuncheng glanced at him, “So what? Tell your sister to study hard and find a reliable boyfriend in college.”

“How many reliable men are there?” Guan Anlin said.

Chen Yuncheng smiled when he heard this.

After packing his things, Guan Anlin drove him to the newly rented house. When he arrived at the gate of the neighbourhood, Guan Anlin got out of the car and helped him take out the suitcase in the trunk, and asked him, “Why don’t I leave the car with you? It’s more convenient for you to go to and from work every day.”

Chen Yuncheng bent down and pulled up the trolley of the suitcase, “You drive back and park at the market. I only rented a parking space here. Junyan has to drive to and from get off work every day. I can just take the subway, it’s nothing inconvenient.”

It was inconvenient for Guan Anlin to smoke while driving, so he stood by the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and said, “Why are you so accommodating to him?”

When Chen Yuncheng heard this question, he said naturally, “Because I love him.”

Guan Anlin exhaled a puff of smoke and said, “Disgusting.”

Chen Yuncheng patted him on the shoulder and said to him, “I don’t know what you’ve been up to lately, but I think we’re doing fine. What do you think?”

Guan Anlin glanced at him, “I think it’s fine too.”

Chen Yuncheng said, “So cherish it and don’t make the mistakes you made before.”

Guan Anlin a little irritably said, “Do you think I’m stupid?” After he said that, he shook his head again, calmed down and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. I will always be your brother.”

Chen Yuncheng smiled at him.

Guan Anlin said again, “If that Ning wronged you, you can tell me, and I will help you deal with him.”

Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, “Okay.”

After Guan Anlin drove away, Chen Yuncheng dragged the box upstairs alone. In order to save money, he only rented a one-bedroom house because he didn’t plan to rent a house with Ning Junyan all the time, but he seriously considered buying a house.

He knew that a large part of the reason why Ning Junyan chose to sell the house was for him. Since Ning Junyan could pay so much for their relationship, he also needed to work harder to plan for the future.

Although the newly rented house was small, it was nicely decorated, and the area around the neighbourhood was convenient for transportation and commerce.

Chen Yuncheng had already come to clean up once before, and Ning Junyan also moved some things here, but today was the first day they officially started living together.

The double bed in the bedroom was covered in brand new light grey sheets with two pillows side by side, with no sign of being slept yet.

When Chen Yuncheng opened the closet to hang some of his clothes in, he saw a familiar down jacket hanging in the closet. It was the one that Ning Junyan had bought for him before, but he didn’t take it with him when he left. Winter had passed since then, and it was still summer now. Even if Chen Yuncheng returned to Ning Junyan’s place, he never wore this down jacket again, so he didn’t know when Ning Junyan brought it over to hang it up.

He couldn’t help but smile as he looked at that jacket and continued to hang other clothes in it.

Ning Junyan waited until after work before driving over. They went out to have dinner together, and when they came back, they cleaned up the room and went to take a shower.

When Chen Yuncheng returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, Ning Junyan was already sitting on the bed. Chen Yuncheng then sat cross-legged in front of him, cupped his face with his hands, and asked him what he was thinking.

Ning Jun stretched his hand to unbutton his pyjamas and replied without much emotion, “I was thinking about why you are so slow in taking a shower, I want to fvck you already.”

Chen Yuncheng smiled and pulled Ning Junyan’s face with his fingers. Ning Junyan’s handsome face was stretched out of shape, but he still showed no extra expression. He only carefully unbuttoned him but suddenly became impatient when the last two were taken, kneeling up and pressing Chen Yuncheng under his body.

Chen Yuncheng had been exposed to the sun since he was a child, and his skin was not too white, but his legs were slender and straight. These legs hook Ning Junyan’s waist, and his muscles keep tensing as his body swayed.

He lay on his back and looked at Ning Junyan’s face and saw that Ning Junyan’s thin lips were slightly tightened, his eyes were half-closed and his outline was narrow and long, and his thick eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes, covering many emotions, as if he couldn’t see to his addiction. But his breathing was clearly audible, and a drop of sweat was slowly sliding against the skin at the corner of his forehead, a little red at the corner of his eyes.

He was afraid that no one else in the world had seen Ning Junyan like this.

Being stared at by Chen Yuncheng for too long, Ning Junyan seemed a little displeased, his thin lips tensing up even more as he lowered his head and kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips, using his body to tell him how he was completely absorbed in it.

Until the end, Ning Junyan refused to get out of Chen Yuncheng’s body. He maintained the posture of pressing on Chen Yuncheng’s body and reached out from under the pillow to find a ring box, the same one he had proposed to before.

Ning Junyan lifted the box lid with one hand while supporting his body with the other hand. He then took out the ring inside with his lips, brought it close to Chen Yuncheng’s lips, and rubbed it against it gently.

Chen Yuncheng breathlessly said, “Say something.”

Ning Junyan let him hold the ring in his mouth and whispered in his ear, “Marry me.”

Chen Yuncheng couldn’t speak with the ring in his mouth, he looked at Ning Junyan, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

Ning Junyan then said again, “Will you marry me?”

The corner of Chen Yuncheng’s mouth couldn’t help showing a smile, lowered his gaze, and nodded.

The author has something to say:
Happy holidays everyone!

Why is it almost over when it felt like I was just writing it?

Notes:
Bro, how could he answer with a ring in his mouth???

Chapter 29

July 5, 2023 / hoenimochi / 0 Comments

Xu Ye walked over stiffly, bypassing the coffee table and stood in front of the man.

Chu Yu patted the empty seat beside him, and Xu Ye sat down obediently, with his head lowered all the time, his face flushed and hot. The collar around his neck made it impossible for him to look up and look directly at anyone.

There were three other people sitting on the large leather join sofa; two men and one woman. At this moment, the three of them were all looking at him, their eyes fell on the collar, and they all looked away in unison with ambiguous smiles on their lips.

“Second Young Master, don’t you plan to introduce this person to us?” The woman was wearing light makeup and a deep red cheongsam that perfectly outlined her figure. The woman’s curved elegant eyes were slightly raised, showing a bit of charm; her eyes concealed a sharp aura, giving people a shrewd and dusty feeling.

Chu Yu hooked his lips, reached out and grabbed Xu Ye’s wrist, and pulled him over. This tug was so strong that Xu Ye was caught unprepared, and his whole body fell into the man’s arms. He looked up in horror, saw the man’s warning look above him, and stiffly stopped struggling. He allowed long, slender fingers to caress the side of his face and gently poke his round earlobes, causing slight shudders in his skin.

With a collar on his neck, as he was being hugged by the man in this posture in front of the eyes of others, made him look like a pet at the mercy of his master. Xu Ye no longer knew what he was feeling in his heart now; shame, panic, helplessness, fear… were all emotions that almost consumed him. Unknowingly, mist appeared in his eyes, and he closed them hastily.

Chu Yu’s fingers were still moving carelessly, and he smiled at the woman and said, “If you still need me to introduce someone who can appear in my arms, I might as well keep some paparazzi to make money by selling gossip.”

“That’s a good point, Second Young Master, but how dare we investigate your people at will?” The woman curved her phoenix eyes and teased, “On the other hand, Wanhua’s side held an urgent meeting this afternoon to revise the design. Song Wanhua should have gone to see the old man by now.”

“Let him go.” Chu Yu didn’t care, “Since the decision-making power of that land is given to me, Father will not interfere.”

“The matter of Song Yueran’s ex-boyfriend’s car accident four years ago has been found out…” The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses glanced at Xu Ye, hesitated to speak, and looked at the second young master with a questioning gaze. Obviously, he knew about the relationship between Xu Ye and Song Yueran.

Chu Yu clearly felt the person in his arms tense up and said calmly, “Speak.”

“A few days before Chen Jianzhe’s accident, he found out that Song Yueran had cheated on Zhou Zixiao, the youngest son of Wenchang Group, and the two argued. After the car accident, Chen Jianzhe died an hour after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The hospital where he was taken for emergency treatment was not the nearest city hospital to the scene of the car accident but was a private hospital owned by Wen Chang three blocks away. During this time, Song Yueyan spoke to Zhou Zixiao three times, and Zhou Zixiao had two phone calls with the hospital director. After Chen Jianzhe died, Song Yueran and Zhou Zixiao went abroad together. Three years later, the two parted ways. This morning, I obtained a statement from the doctor in charge of the operation at the time, admitting that the hospital director instructed him to delay the treatment deliberately. I also found the record of Song Yueran’s driver taking sleeping pills from the private hospital the day before yesterday.” After saying this, he placed the two paper documents before Chu Yu.

When he heard the last sentence, Xu Ye suddenly opened his eyes. He always thought that it was Xu Ting and Song Wanhua who set him up and felt that Song Yueran was also a helpless victim, and he never thought that this woman would pose any danger. Now it seemed so silly. If she had given him more than a sleeping pill…

The man raised Xu Ye’s chin and made him look up at himself with a hint of mockery in his eyes, “Want to read this report?”

Xu Ye shook his head slightly. At this moment, he felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavours¹, and he could not tell what he felt.

The middle-aged man’s report was concise and clear. As for how these materials were obtained, there was no need to elaborate on them. To think that such a detailed investigation into the events of four years ago had been carried out and what they had done to force the doctor to confess to a truth that had long been hidden was chilling to think about. Chu Yu’s aim was very clear; to let him listen, show him the evidence, and tell him clearly how foolish enough he had been to step into their trap.

Even they could investigate Song Yueran like this, let alone him who stayed with the second young master? The moment Xu Ye became a slave, he might have already been thoroughly searched. What happened today also made him realise that as long as his master did not allow it, he would not be able to keep a single secret. Previously, Chu Yu had never displayed his great strength in such a direct manner, preferring to provide a relatively equal environment to get along with himself, but now he puts away his tenderness and breaks the balance he had established in an almost brutal way.

—Xu Ye, there are many ways to play the game between you and me, but you have to choose the most unpleasant one.

This was what the man once said.

In the same surrounding and the same embrace, instead of peace of mind and comfort, only fear and confusion remain. The collar around his neck, the unapologetic teasing in front of him, the relationship between master and slave that was gradually expanding in Chu Yu’s hands and was slowly overlapping with real life. As the enslaved party, Xu Ye had no ability to resist and had no choice but to accept it.

The only thing he could do was to accept it. What can he do under such preconditions?

Xu Ye finally calmed down from his panic. At least he was a businessman and knew how to weigh up the pros and cons. He made mistakes first, was used by others, and angered Chu Yu. The only thing he could do was to beg for mercy; otherwise, the situation would only get worse and worse. Everyone in this room knew about his status as a slave, so what was there for him to cover up and pretend?

When he saw the situation clearly, Xu Ye turned slightly to his side and reached out to wrap his arms around Chu Yu’s waist, pressing his head closer into his arms and calling out softly, “Master…”

This soft call also carried some shy hesitation, soft, like a cat’s paw scratching through people’s hearts. Xu Ye himself didn’t expect this cry to be like this, so he stiffened and buried his head even deeper.

The corners of Chu Yu’s lips curled upwards in a slight arc.

It seemed his slave had figured it out.

The three present immediately stood up and said goodbye with some winks. Chu Yu didn’t intend to keep them either and asked Xiao Xun to see them off.

Only two people remained in the large living room.

It was only now that Xu Ye gradually relaxed. When he saw that the other party hadn’t moved for a long time, he raised his face to look and met the man’s calm and unwavering eyes.

He seemed… less angry? Xu Ye speculated in his heart, raised his body a little and boldly called out again.

Chu Yu lowered his eyelids halfway, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes. He didn’t speak, so Xu Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, “Master, I don’t know what I have to do for you to forgive me…no matter what you do, as long as you are willing to forgive me…”

“Whatever I do, right?” The man repeated, looking at him playfully, “Tonight Chu Xuan is going to receive an important guest, I heard that BDSM is also one of his hobbies, and he is a Dom. Go and stay with him for one night; I will forgive you.”

Xu Ye’s face was ashen, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

“What? Can’t do it?” Chu Yu laughed, his fingers fiddling with the bell on his collar and tracing the knot of his throat, feeling the slight tremble of his pale skin. “You are still trying to write things off after making me angry. Your little calculation is really shrewd. Slave, let me remind you once more that it is up to me to decide when to forgive you and how you will be taught your lesson.”

“Yes, master.” Xu Ye lowered his head helplessly. He had no chance of winning in the fight for the one in the upper position…

Xiao Xun came over to inform the two of them to eat.

To Xu Ye’s relief, after the food was served, everyone in the villa left. Only he and Chu Yu were left. He took off the clothes on his own initiative and knelt beside the man’s legs.

He was afraid of that ‘lesson’ from the bottom of his heart. Judging from the current situation, Chu Yu had no intention of forgiving him at all, and the man’s methods of punishment… reminded Xu Ye of the bloody, dried whip in the club’s display window, and he panicked.

Chu Yu watched Xu Ye force himself to eat slowly, feeling a little amused in his heart.

He already knew Xu Ye’s personality like the back of his hand. Xu Ye had a decent IQ but not a high EQ. He was so serious about his work that he was fussy about it, but in life, he just went with the flow. At first glance, he looked like a cactus with thorns, but he was actually soft inside, like a clean and sweet cotton candy. He was a little clever but did not have the same level of sophistication you would find in the business world. He was emotionally attached and prone to the softness of the heart. In his mind, he separates BDSM from real life, thinking it was just a casual game, like playing CS² or hiking. ‘Master’ was just a fictitious title, so even when Chu Yu appeared in the cafeteria, he just responded politely and played games obediently, then sent him away as a guest.

It was precisely because of this mentality that Xu Ye never considered asking for his help when he was in trouble. This was the source of Chu Yu’s unhappiness. As for sleeping out in bed with someone overnight, it was just a front, not to mention that Xu Ye slept through it without doing anything. What Chu Yu wanted was to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson so that Xu Ye would firmly remember his existence.

Of course, Xu Ye couldn’t guess what Chu Yu was thinking. He just wanted to try to behave better, and maybe he would get less whipped later. After the meal, Xu Ye washed the dishes as usual, and then a leash was hung around his neck, and he followed Chu Yu step by step. He basically adapted to the rope of about 1.5 meters, and he was careful not to make mistakes. At the end of the training, the man touched his head as a sign of encouragement. It seemed… that there was no intention of punishing him at all.

Xu Ye knelt beside the man’s legs anxiously and watched the financial information on TV with him for a while.

At about nine o’clock, Chu Yu finally gave the order, “Wait for me in the cage.”

Chapter 86

July 3, 2023 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

On the second day, Ning Junyan still showed up on time for the birthday banquet of old man Ning. The birthday banquet was actually not a big deal, but just a gathering of the family for lunch, but this year there were many relatives coming, so they decided to reserve three tables in the restaurant in a hurry.

When Ning Junyan arrived, his distant relatives greeted him warmly. Although his response was not enthusiastic, it was polite enough. He was regarded as the best of the younger generation of the Ning family, and even if he was a little cold at ordinary times, his relatives would never feel offended.

Ning Zhanghong was sitting and talking with one of Ning Junyan’s cousins at this time, and Ning Junyan did not see Shu Rong beside him.

Ning Junyan greeted the elders first, and then asked Ning Zhanghong, “Where is Mother?”

Ning Zhanghong glanced at him and said, “She still has some things to deal with, and will come here later.”

Ning Junyan went to congratulate his grandfather on his birthday again.

Grandpa Ning took his hand to ask him to sit beside him, and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”

Ning Junyan said, “Who are you asking about, Grandpa?”

Grandpa Ning said, “Of course it’s you and your mother. I haven’t seen her today.”

Ning Junyan answered him, “Yuncheng and I are fine. I haven’t seen Mother today, so I don’t know how she is.”

Grandpa Ning felt a little emotional, patted the back of Ning Junyan’s hand with his thin hand, and then let go of him.

Before Ning Junyan got up, his lively cousin came over to talk to him again, asking him about his graduate studies, asking him about his postgraduate studies, so he talked to his cousin in a low voice for a few minutes until he saw Shu Rong hurrying in.

Shu Rong was a little haggard. Although her make-up and hair were neatly done, she was wearing a decent dress, and smiled warmly as soon as she approached, but Ning Junyan could still see the fatigue on her face.

In front of so many relatives, Shu Rong didn’t say anything to Ning Junyan but just greeted everyone and then took the initiative to order the waiter to prepare the dishes.

After lunch, all the guests were sent away.

Ning Junyan called out to Shu Rong in the parking lot, “Mom.”

Shu Rong looked at him sullenly.

Shu Rong drove a car by herself today, and she still had something to deal with in the afternoon, so she asked Ning Zhangyu and the others to send Ning Zhanghong back.

Ning Zhangyu and his husband drove a seven-seater SUV. Before leaving the parking lot, the car stopped when it passed Shu Rong and Ning Junyan.

The window of the back seat was lowered, and Ning Zhanghong raised his head and said to them, “Let’s talk about what you have to do when you get back.” It seemed that they were afraid that Ning Junyan and Shu Rong would start arguing here.

Shu Rong gently lifted the shoulder bag on her shoulder and said, “I won’t go back for now. I have something to do in the afternoon.”

Grandpa Ning was also in this car, sitting side by side with Ning Zhanghong, trying to stick his head over, and said, “Junyan, don’t quarrel with your mother here.”

Ning Junyan said, “I won’t, Grandpa, you guys go back first.”

Ning Zhanghong sighed and said to his brother-in-law who was driving, “Let’s go first.”

The SUV slowly drove away from the two of them.

Ning Junyan asked Shu Rong again, “Are you okay?”

Shu Rong sneered, “I thought you didn’t care about me at all.”

Ning Junyan said: “It’s not that I don’t care about you, it’s you who care about me beyond the limit.”

Shu Rong turned her face away from him, was silent for a while, and asked, “That Yu Jie. Chen Yuncheng knows him very well, right?”

Ning Junyan frowned slightly, “Yuncheng doesn’t know him very well. He just knew him in the past. What? Do you have some business going on with him? What’s going on at your new hospital?”

Shu Rong said, “I don’t have any business dealings with him.” She paused for a moment, squeezing the strap of her bag tightly with one hand, “It’s just that the building we rented for the new hospital was introduced through him.”

In the beginning, Shu Rong and her partner Zhang Chong had already talked to Yu Jie about investing in a branch of the plastic surgery hospital. Later, Ning Junyan mentioned to Shu Rong that there was something wrong with Yu Jie, and Shu Rong became more thoughtful. After some discussion with Zhang Chong, they pushed Yu Jie aside.

It was said to be a plastic surgery hospital, but in fact, it was just a beauty salon with micro-plastic surgery programs, and the scale was not significant. At that time, they had already contacted an address through Yu Jie to open a new hospital. The two-story building was originally a private dental hospital, and the conditions were suitable in all aspects. Even the renovation did not require significant changes. They were delighted with the building and wanted to continue negotiating the lease with each other.

Yu Jie showed great generosity. Although the business could not be done, he took the initiative to act as a middleman for them and introduced a person in charge of the floor leasing project of the other company, surnamed Wang. Shu Rong then signed a contract with the other party and paid a large amount of rent in advance.

Everything seemed to be going well until two days ago when the renovation was in progress, and she met another team of people who said that they had also signed a contract with the other company to rent the building and were now ready to move in for the renovation.

Shu Rong hurriedly contacted the company’s person in charge, who said that the person was on a business trip and would not be able to return for the time being and would help her contact the company to inquire about the situation. After two days, Zhang Chong was worried and went to the company to find the person, only to find out that the project leader surnamed Wang, hadn’t come to work for many days. The lease contract they signed was probably a fake, and all the official seals on it had been stolen by the manager surnamed Wang.

Ning Junyan held the car keys in his hand and heard Shu Rong talk about the current situation; millions of dollars in rent had been paid, but there was no way to enter the venue for renovations. They had reported it to the police, but they didn’t know if they could recover the money.

“Yuncheng asked me to tell you that there is something wrong with Yu Jie,” Ning Junyan said in a low and serious tone.

Shu Rong raised her head and looked at him, “I checked Yu Jie, and he has no criminal record. On the surface, he seems to be a clean businessman. Isn’t he more reliable than Chen Yuncheng?”

Ning Junyan said, “You still think so?”

Shu Rong’s tone was a little hasty, “I went to find Yu Jie, but he said he didn’t know where Wang had gone, and he was adamant that he had nothing to do with the incident.”

Ning Junyan looked at her, “Since you trust him so much, then I have nothing to say.”

Shu Rong reached out and grabbed Ning Junyan’s arm, “It’s not that I want to trust him. I have no choice now, and the key to solving the problem is to find that person surnamed Wang.”

Ning Junyan asked her, “Don’t you pay rent by transferring money to a corporate account?”

Shu Rong said, “There was a problem with the account he gave. At that time, his procedures were too complete, and his identity was not faked. We never thought of doubting him. How did we know he would do such a thing? And now we can’t get this building, we’ve spent so much money before and after on the renovations we have booked, and we also have ordered beauty equipment in preparation. Now, we have to raise another sum of money to rent another place, and there is no way to turn around.” Her greatest fear was that her flow of capital would break, and she would not be able to repay the bank loan in time, which would then become more and more troublesome.

Ning Junyan looked at Shu Rong in silence. There was no good solution to the problem except gaining money. Even if the police had arrested the person, they might not be able to recover the money.

Shu Rong answered the phone and drove away in a hurry.

Ning Junyan didn’t have a job in the afternoon, so he drove directly to the trade market to find Chen Yuncheng. When Ning Junyan arrived, Chen Yuncheng was sorting out the order form with Wu Xiaozhu and asked him to go inside to rest by himself.

After a while, Chen Yuncheng finished the work in hand, went into the inner room and saw Ning Junyan lying on his single bed with a pair of long legs stretched out, and his feet almost reached the railing at the end.

Chen Yuncheng stretched out his hand to close the door. He then walked over to the bed and knelt down to look at him, “What’s wrong?”

Ning Junyan stretched out his hand towards him.

Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help but look back to make sure the door was closed, then hugged Ning Junyan and squeezed into the narrow bed with him.

“Are we going to break the bed?” Chen Yuncheng was inexplicably worried.

Ning Junyan said, “Guan Anlin shares the same bed with you every day, and the board of your bed hasn’t collapsed.”

Chen Yuncheng felt a little helpless, “Let’s sleep in two beds, shall we?”

Ning Junyan didn’t speak. He stared at the wooden bedboard above as if in a daze.

Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan had something on his mind, so he asked again, “What’s wrong?”

Ning Junyan said, “I’ll sell the current house now.”

Chen Yuncheng sat up and looked at him, “Didn’t we say we wouldn’t sell it?”

Ning Junyan folded his hands under his head and looked at him, “My current house was bought for me by my parents when I first came back from abroad.”

Chen Yuncheng tried to understand what he meant, “You don’t want to live in the house they bought for you.”

Ning Junyan didn’t mention Shu Rong’s business matters but simply said, “My mother just needs a sum of money, so I can just sell the house and return the money to her.”

Chen Yuncheng did not speak.

Ning Junyan looked at him, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Chen Yuncheng thought for a while, “I don’t think you need to be so clear-cut with them. They are your parents, after all.”

Ning Junyan shook his head, “That’s not what I meant. It just so happened that she needed money, and that’s why I thought about this.”

“How much does she need?” Chen Yuncheng recalled the call Shu Rong answered last night and knew that there must be a problem with her business, “I’ll get you some money first, okay? You don’t have to sell the house, do you?”

Ning Jun extended his arms to hug him and asked him to lie on his chest, “It’s not that I have to sell the house, but I want to do it.”

Chen Yuncheng kind of understands Ning Junyan’s thoughts. Ning Junyan wanted to repay the financial debt he owed his parents. Of course, it was not just a house debt, but if he could repay some, he could gain more autonomy.

“But I still don’t think it’s necessary. Where do you plan to live after you sell the house?” Chen Yuncheng asked him.

Ning Junyan answered quickly, “Live here with you.”

“Then what about Guan Anlin?”

“Tell him to get lost.” Ning Junyan replied with an expressionless and straightforward face, probably wanting to say this for a long time.

Chapter 85

June 30, 2023 / hoenimochi / 6 Comments

Shu Rong was a person who cared about her reputation very much. She had always been unwilling to let her relatives and friends see her disputes with her husband and son. No matter what, she hoped that in the eyes of others, she was a woman with a rich life and a happy family.

The Ning family also treated her very well. Ning Zhanghong was the eldest in the family, and his mother had died young, so all the younger siblings, children and nephews in the family respected her, and even old man Ning had always been very gentle with her.

It was the first time that Shu Rong had acted so emotionally in front of the Ning family because she felt that Ning Junyan was gradually getting out of her control. She was a little helpless, and she needed more people to stand by her side and help her bring her son back.

Ning Junyan didn’t understand what else Shu Rong wanted to hear from him, and he felt that what he said was clear enough. So he frowned lightly and asked Shu Rong, “What else do you want me to say?”

Shu Rong looked at her grown-up son and asked, “Is whatever Mom says today no use? Must you be with him?”

Ning Junyan patiently answered her, “It seems so.”

Shu Rong said, “Let me ask you, have you ever thought about the consequences if you are with a man?”

Ning Junyan, who had been holding Chen Yuncheng’s hand without letting go, asked, “What consequences are you referring to?”

Shu Rong said, “Of course I’m talking about your job, your career!”

Ning Junyan thought about it seriously, “I don’t think it will make a difference. The surgery I can do is still the only one I can do. Will it change anything?”

Seeing Shu Rong’s distraught look, Ning Zhangyu couldn’t help but stand up and gently held Shu Rong’s arm, and said to Ning Junyan, “Junyan, many unpleasant words might spread through the hospital, and it’s inevitable that it will affect you then.”

Ning Junyan looked at her, “Anything said by people who don’t matter will not affect me.” After that, he said to Shu Rong with a bit of annoyance, “What you’re talking about isn’t actually about how it’ll affect me; it’s just how it’ll affect you. Those aren’t things I would care about.”

Shu Rong asked him sternly, “So you don’t care about Mom at all?”

Ning Junyan stared at her and said, “If you feel that it has a great impact on your life, I can introduce you to a psychologist.”

“Junyan!” Ning Zhanghong said, his voice still a little sickly hoarse, “You’re going overboard talking to Mom like that.”

Chen Yuncheng saw that Shu Rong’s eyes were red and gently pulled Ning Junyan’s hand.

Ning Junyan turned to look at Chen Yuncheng, reached into his own pocket, took out the car key and stuffed it into Chen Yuncheng’s hand as he said, “If you don’t want to stay here, go wait for me in the car, I’ll be there soon.”

Chen Yuncheng looked down at the car keys and said, “I’ll wait for you.”

The expression on Ning Junyan’s face did not change, but he squeezed Chen Yuncheng firmly, and Chen Yuncheng felt that he was a little happy.

Shu Rong tried her best to control her emotions, but her voice still trembled slightly as she asked Ning Junyan, “What if I want you to choose between him and your family today?”

Ning Junyan asked her, “Does the family mean you or everyone in the family today?”

Shu Rong said in a cold voice, “Everyone in the family.”

Ning Junyan didn’t answer her question immediately but turned to look at Grandpa.

Grandpa Ning kept stroking his purple clay pot, and then he said, “Daughter-in-law, there’s no need.”

Shu Rong turned to look at him, “Dad! You must stand by my side at this time, and you can’t just let him do whatever he wants!”

Grandpa Ning said slowly, “This is not the way to solve the problem.”

Ning Zhangyu also persuaded Shu Rong, “Sister-in-law, you are only pushing Junyan out like this. What’s the point?”

Shu Rong’s attitude was unyielding. As she saw that neither the old man nor Ning Zhangyu supported her, she turned around and asked Ning Zhanghong, “What do you say?”

Ning Zhanghong sighed and said to Ning Junyan, “Don’t be stubborn.”

Ning Junyan still looked calm as he said, “I think Mom’s question is rather capricious, and I won’t make a choice. It was supposed to be different feelings that didn’t contradict each other, just like no child will ask the mother to choose between the father and themselves.” He looked at Shu Rong, “Just like you and Dad become a family in the long run, I too, will have my own family in the future. I will return to visit you, and we will still be family, but I can only live with the person I love for the rest of my life.”

“What lifetime!” Shu Rong said angrily, “You won’t even last a lifetime!”

Chen Yuncheng originally didn’t want to talk, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but say, “We can.”

Shu Rong looked at him.

Chen Yuncheng persisted under her extremely unfriendly gaze, “Auntie, it doesn’t matter whether you think highly of me or not. As long as Ning Junyan doesn’t let go, I will live with him.”

Just as Shu Rong was about to speak, the mobile phone in her bag on the sofa rang suddenly. She looked at Chen Yuncheng with red eyes, turned around to find the mobile phone, hung it up and put it on the table.

But just after she hung up the phone, her cell phone rang again, ringing more sharply than before.

Ning Zhangyu intentionally asked her to adjust her mood and said, “Sister-in-law, answer the phone first.”

Shu Rong glanced at the caller ID, took a deep breath and connected the phone, and her voice sounded much calmer when she spoke, “Hello?”

It was not clear what the person on the other side was saying. He sounded very impatient and spoke quickly. He spoke for nearly half a minute before stopping.

Shu Rong’s face turned paler than it had just been, and she said, “Are you sure?”

Ning Zhanghong sat on the sofa and looked up at her, “What’s wrong?”

Shu Rong didn’t answer, and she still concentrated on listening to the person on the phone. After another few tens of seconds, she said, “I’m coming over now.” Then she hung up the phone.

“Sister-in-law?” Ning Zhangyu called her softly.

Shu Rong held the phone tightly in her hand, her expression was briefly at a loss, and then she turned around and picked up her bag. She no longer looked at Ning Junyan and Chen Yuncheng but said to Grandpa Ning, “Dad, I have something to do first.”

Ning Zhanghong asked, “What’s the rush?”

Shu Rong said to him, “The matter of opening a new hospital, I’ll tell you about it when I return later.”

Ning Zhangyu asked her, “How are you going to get there? Do you want Huang Jin to give you a lift?”

“No need.” Shu Rong was already stepping on her high heels and walking outside, “I’ll take a taxi by myself.” She walked in a hurry, and soon her figure disappeared outside the door.

Chen Yuncheng looked at Ning Junyan.

Ning Junyan said, “Let’s go.”

No one stopped them this time, but when Ning Junyan was about to leave the house with Chen Yuncheng’s hand in his, Ning Zhangyu asked him, “Junyan, will you be back tomorrow?”

Ning Junyan stopped, turned around and said, “Of course I will come back.”

Ning Zhangyu nodded, and she said, “You can take your time talking to your mother, don’t make the relationship so strained.”

Ning Junyan just said, “I know.”

When they came out of the house and walked towards the parking space, Ning Junyan kept holding onto Chen Yuncheng’s hand. Chen Yuncheng felt that his walking posture was very brisk and seemed to be a little excited instead of unhappy.

Chen Yuncheng didn’t quite understand what he was excited about.

There were no street lights near the parking space, and they walked to the Land Rover. Ning Junyan suddenly pressed Chen Yuncheng against the car door, pinched his chin and kissed him forcefully.

Chen Yuncheng was baffled being kissed by Ning Junyan in the dim light of the neighbourhood, feeling his intense emotions until after a while. Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan had no intention of stopping, so he raised his hand and pushed him away.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Yuncheng’s lips were moist and red, panting slightly.

Ning Junyan raised his hand to touch his face, and the two of them got closer. Chen Yuncheng saw the smile in Ning Junyan’s eyes.

Chen Yuncheng felt strange, “What are you happy about?”

Ning Junyan said, “You just said you wanted to stay with me for the rest of your life.”

These words were originally said by Chen Yuncheng to Shu Rong, but now that Ning Junyan mentioned them in a serious manner, he suddenly felt embarrassed. He turned away and tried to change the subject, “I think you can be a little more tactful when talking to your mother and communicate more one time.”

“She doesn’t really care that much,” Ning Junyan said.

Chen Yuncheng was stunned and asked, “Why do you think so?”

Ning Junyan said, “She has many things that she cares about more, like her business.”

Chen Yuncheng thought of the figure of Shu Rong, who left in a hurry after receiving the call just now, and he suddenly felt sorry for Ning Junyan. He then asked him, “Was she like this when you were young?”

Ning Junyan looked at him, “What?”

Chen Yuncheng thought for a while and tried to describe how he felt, “Having high demands of you, but not really caring enough.”

Ning Junyan said, “She is very busy every day, busy with business and making money outside, but she checks my homework and assignments regularly and arranges tutorial classes for me every day. Actually, there is very little communication between us.” When he said this, Ning Junyan looked at Chen Yuncheng and did not continue.

Chen Yuncheng couldn’t bear his too-focused gaze, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ning Junyan raised his arms and hugged him tightly, “Wife, you can’t do this to me.”

Chen Yuncheng panicked, “What? What did I do to you?”

Ning Junyan looked like he was very aggrieved, “You can’t be too busy with your business and leave me alone.”

Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to hug him too, “No, I won’t leave you alone.”

Ning Junyan kissed him under his ear and said, “So it’s actually useless to communicate with my mother, the best way is to tell her with facts that I’m doing well and I’m happy.”

Chen Yuncheng smiled faintly and gently patted Ning Junyan’s back.

Notes:
Don’t some of us have that kind of mother that you know whatever you say to her, she just won’t understand, and the best way to “talk” to them is to show that your way is better?

Chapter 46

June 29, 2023 / hoenimochi / 0 Comments

Suo Yang did not like to express his feelings and was not very good at it. For Suo Yang, those sweet words were not so easy to say, and Shen Huiming knew this very well.

From the time they got acquainted to the time they fell in love, Suo Yang only said only a handful of cringy words, but on this night, when Shen Huiming was working till dizzy, Suo Yang seemed to have finally opened himself up and willing to confess his deepest feelings to him.

For Suo Yang, liking someone might not be the most challenging thing. Admitting that he likes the person was the most difficult thing.

But now, he was willing to admit and tell the other party.

Because he wanted Shen Huiming to be happy, and on a busy and exhausting evening, a little bit of happiness might make life a little bit easier.

Shen Huiming didn’t expect that his little tricks in Moscow would be discovered like that. Now Suo Yang said such sweet words with a gentle smile in his eyes, but he felt a little embarrassed.

“So I was found out.” Shen Huiming chuckled, “I didn’t dare to hold it too much at the time because I was afraid I would annoy you when you woke up.”

Suo Yang was actually a little sorry. He could feel that Shen Huiming had put a lot of thought into him. Shen Huiming’s life was not easy, and being tossed by him like this must be so tiring.

He squeezed Shen Huiming’s hand, “Hurry up and eat. The food will be cold later.”

Shen Huiming nodded with a smile and ate obediently.

The love talk was over, and the stomach was full after dinner.

Shen Huiming continued to work at the table, and Suo Yang tidied up the lunch box and threw it away.

When he came back from throwing out the trash, he happened to pass by the pantry. He remembered that Shen Huiming was going to make coffee before, so he turned around and walked in.

He turned on the light, stood by the door and scanned around.

Shen Huiming’s company pantry area was quite large, complete with all kinds of utensils, drinks and instant food in stock. There were two small round tables near the window for people to rest.

Suo Yang saw that the coffee beans he had brought were placed on the shelf, so he walked over to prepare to grind some coffee beans and make a cup of coffee for Shen Huiming.

He was not as obsessed with coffee as Shen Huiming, and he couldn’t even distinguish the difference between coffee from different places. The only coffee knowledge he had about coffee was for work.

But the coffee beans were very fragrant. He held it in front of his nose and smelled it, and he could smell the rich aroma through the bag.

He ground the coffee beans and made coffee. Suo Yang was surrounded by the mellow aroma of coffee in the pantry by himself.

A cup of coffee was ready. He hesitated for a moment and did not add sugar.

He remembered that Shen Huiming never added sugar or milk.

Suo Yang returned to Shen Huiming’s office with the coffee. The other party looked up at him, and he smiled and said, “Mr. Shen, your coffee is ready.”

The two looked at each other and smiled. As if they were on the plane, Suo Yang served Shen Huiming a cup of coffee in the middle of the night.

Suo Yang carefully put the coffee by Shen Huiming’s hand and said softly, “Thanks for your hard work.”

Was it that much of a hard work?

It was definitely hard to work overtime at this hour, but with someone to keep him company and someone to love, the suffering was not so unbearable.

Afterwards, Shen Huiming worked until almost eleven o’clock, and Suo Yang, who had enough sleep, took a book from his bookshelf and read it to accompany him.

When the two left the office building, some of the offices in the building were still lit. Everyone was trying to survive and live with their tired bodies and drooping eyelids and had no time to enjoy the brilliant night sky and the night breeze.

It might sound a bit heavy to say, but everyone was crawling forward like this.

===

After a few days of not seeing each other, everything happened as a matter of course—Suo Yang stayed over at Shen Huiming’s house as a matter of course, and Shen Huiming kissed Suo Yang and fell into bed as a matter of course.

On a night without the slightest hint of alcohol, the two of them were like two balls of flames, and the sheets were like a forest, burnt to nothing but ashes.

Shen Huiming wished to live this kind of life with Suo Yang every day in the future— holding hands to and from work and hugging each other to sleep on the same bed.

But he knew very well that he could not rush.

He would not let Suo Yang make sacrifices for him, whether in life or in work.

Since Suo Yang liked his job, then he should continue to roam in his blue sky.

To enjoy flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet and to enjoy love on the ground full of traffic.

Before drifting off to sleep, Suo Yang felt a kiss landed on his forehead; he subconsciously hugged the other man tighter and soon fell asleep.

Suo Yang had no dreams all night and slept soundly, even more deeply than he slept in his own home.

In the morning, he was woken up by the ringing of the alarm clock and turned over with a frown. Before he woke up, he saw Shen Huiming, who was wearing an apron, rushing in to turn off the alarm clock on his phone.

Suo Yang lay there wrapped in a quilt and looked at him a little absent-mindedly, all in a daze.

Such Suo Yang looked more soft and cute. Shen Huiming leaned over with a smile, gently rubbing his messy hair, “Did I wake you up?”

Suo Yang shook his head and grabbed his hand.

At seven o’clock in the morning, Suo Yang didn’t want to get up yet, but Shen Huiming was already full of energy, making breakfast for his boyfriend.

“You can lie down for a while longer.” Shen Huiming said, “I’ll put it in the pot to keep the food warm when it’s ready, so you can eat it when you get up.”

“Are you leaving?” Suo Yang glanced at the time.

He had almost forgotten that Shen Huiming had to go to work today.

“Seven thirty.” Shen Huiming said, “I have to go early today.”

Suo Yang thought for a while, then sat up.

When he got up, the quilt slid down to his waist, and the bright crimson mark under the collarbone was very eye-catching.

But Suo Yang himself didn’t know that there was a hickey there.

Shen Huiming looked at the hickey, and his heart was tickled, but he was going out later, and there was no time for him to fool around.

“What? Not going to sleep anymore?”

“Well,” Suo Yang pointed to the hanger beside the bedroom wall, “Help me with my pyjama pants.”

Shen Huiming smiled and went over to help him bring over his pyjamas.

Suo Yang got dressed and walked out of the bedroom with Shen Huiming.

One of them went into the kitchen, and the other into the bathroom.

By the time Suo Yang finished washing up, Shen Huiming’s breakfast was ready.

During the meal, Shen Huiming asked him, “What’s the arrangement for today?”

“I’ll meet up with you later,” Suo Yang said, “I’ll go home first.”

Shen Huiming nodded.

“Go back and tidy up briefly, and then maybe meet Zhou Mo for dinner.”

“Zhou Mo?”

“Well, after he knew about our affairs, he insisted on asking me to treat him.” Suo Yang smiled, “I guess he just wanted to hear gossip.”

Shen Huiming also smiled, “Okay, when the time comes, you can decide the time and place. I can accompany you if I have nothing to do here.”

“Aren’t you busy today?”

“I have a meeting this afternoon, and I should be fine after that.” Shen Huiming took a sip of water, “You can’t be so busy every day; you have to have some time to relax and to do romance.”

Suo Yang smiled, “Okay, I will be in touch then.”

After the two left, they parted at the gate of Shen Huiming’s residential area. Originally, Shen Huiming wanted to send Suo Yang back, but Suo Yang said, “It’s too troublesome for you to go back and forth during the morning rush hour. I’ll take a taxi and go back.”

They are not children, so there was no need to engage in the drama of insisting on sending someone home, not to mention, it was just a taxi on the side of the road, so there was no need to worry about it.

The only problem was that Shen Huiming wanted to see Suo Yang more.

He pulled over and stopped until Suo Yang took a taxi and left, then returned to his car and drove towards the company.

After parting, they went about their business.

When Shen Huiming arrived at the company, he began to deal with the affairs at hand and prepare for the afternoon meeting, while Suo Yang went home to pack his suitcase, wash his clothes, and then take a comfortable bath.

Their lives seemed to be the same as before, but great changes had taken place.

Suo Yang made an appointment with Zhou Mo to have dinner together and then spent time alone at home leisurely.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Huiming sent a message asking him what he was doing.

At that time, Suo Yang was about to change all the sheets and quilt covers and was halfway through the process when he called Shen Huiming.

“Changing the quilt,” Suo Yang asked, “Are you done?”

“Well, I’m getting ready to leave early.”

Suo Yang smiled, “Then… come to see me?”

“To your house?” Shen Huiming was quite curious as he had never been to Suo Yang’s house.

“Well, do you still remember where my house is?” Shen Huiming sent him back on the day the two confirmed their relationship. At that time, Suo Yang wanted to invite him to sit down, but Shen Huiming was in a hurry to go to the company.

Suo Yang said, “Why don’t you come over and have dinner together with Zhou Mo tonight.”

“Of course I remember!” How could he forget the address of Suo Yang’s house?

Shen Huiming was happy and agreed cheerfully.

Suo Yang’s house was quite far from Shen Huiming’s house. When Suo Yang bought a house, he deliberately chose a place close to the highway out of the city. It was convenient to go to work¹, and this side of the city was much quieter than the city centre, and the house price was also much lower.

Shen Huiming company wasn’t too far from the house, and he drove for nearly 40 minutes to get there.

Before he went there, he bought a bouquet of red roses and rang the doorbell of Suo Yang’s house with the flowers in his hand.

When Suo Yang came to open the door, he had already cleaned up the house, and everything that needed to be changed and washed had also been tidied up.

This place, which seldom had guests, was really welcoming a distinguished guest this time.

When Suo Yang opened the door, the first thing he saw was not Shen Huiming but the big bouquet of red roses.

He froze for a moment, then laughed.

“What is this for?”

“For you,” Shen Huiming said, “it’s the first time I give roses to someone, and I feel like I’m in an idol drama.”

Suo Yang looked at him with a smile and took the flowers from his hand.

“Come in.”

Suo Yang prepared slippers for him and stood aside with flowers in his arms, waiting for him to change his shoes.

Shen Huiming followed Suo Yang into the house. This not-so-big apartment was clean and tidy, with good lighting.

It turned out that our handsome flight attendant lived in a house like this. Shen Huiming scanned the room and thought it was really nice here.

Suo Yang had a vase at home, but he had never bought flowers. He and Shen Huiming sat on the floor and trimmed the roses and then put them into the vase one by one.

The autumn afternoon sun slanted in through the bright windows, wrapping the two of them and the rose in soft light.

Shen Huiming looked at Suo Yang who was fiddling with roses with his head down, and said softly, “I want to kiss you.”

Chapter 84

June 27, 2023 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

When the old man Ning celebrated his birthday, it was customary for all the younger members of the family to go back to celebrate his birthday. This year, Ning Zhanghong had just been discharged from the hospital after a serious illness, so tomorrow’s meal would be even more formal and meaningful.

However, Ning Junyan didn’t plan to take him back on his grandpa’s birthday but instead went back a day earlier for dinner. He didn’t care what his family would think of his relationship with them, but he was worried that Chen Yuncheng would care.

Chen Yuncheng was indeed conflicted and uneasy. On one hand, he wanted to meet Ning Junyan’s grandfather; on the other hand, he felt that no matter how good a person Ning Junyan’s grandfather was and how much he loved Ning Junyan when he saw that Ning Junyan’s lover was a man, he would definitely still be disappointed. Obviously, he was waiting with hope for his grandson to bring home a girlfriend, but it turned out to be a boyfriend, so the old man must be uncomfortable in his heart.

But he didn’t refuse Ning Junyan, he felt that this matter must be important to Ning Junyan, and at least he didn’t want to disappoint Ning Junyan.

Although Chen Yuncheng didn’t wear a suit and tie that day, he was dressed more formally than usual.

Ning Junyan drove to the trade market to pick him up and said to him after he got into the car, “Don’t be nervous.”

Chen Yuncheng nodded but did not speak.

When they drove out of the market, they met a white BMW at the gate that was about to enter.

This car was a second-hand BMW bought by Chen Yuncheng with a mortgage. It was usually placed in the parking space outside the store. He didn’t usually drive it very much and usually only drove it when he went out to discuss business. The car was driven out by Guan Anlin this afternoon and had only returned from outside now.

When the car passed by each other, Chen Yuncheng pressed the window and asked Guan Anlin, “Where did you go?”

Guan Anlin waved his hand and did not answer but asked Chen Yuncheng, “Aren’t you coming back tonight?”

Ning Junyan replied for Chen Yuncheng, “Not coming back.”

Guan Anlin showed a dissatisfied expression, pressed the window and drove the car into the market.

Chen Yuncheng cursed in a low voice, “Brat.” And he didn’t say anything more.

When they arrived at the villa complex where his grandfather lived in the city, Ning Junyan parked the car in the roadside parking lot in the community, opened the door and got off, waiting for Chen Yuncheng to come down and walk there with him.

Chen Yuncheng spoke very little and seemed to be concentrating on walking.

Ning Junyan walked all the way to the door of the villa; before pushing the door to go in, he suddenly held Chen Yuncheng’s hand, and without giving him time to react, he just dragged him inside together.

Grandpa Ning was waiting for guests while watching TV news in the living room, when he heard the voice, he raised his head and looked towards them.

“Grandpa,” Ning Junyan said after entering the door, “I brought someone back.”

Grandpa Ning first showed a smile on his face and said, “You’re back.” Then he looked at Chen Yuncheng for a while and became puzzled again. He asked Ning Junyan, “Is this a girl?” He didn’t quite understand, he knew that some girls would be dressed up like a boy, but the young man in front of him didn’t look like a girl.

Ning Junyan said, “No.”

Chen Yuncheng was very nervous and said, “Grandpa, I am Chen Yuncheng.”

“Oh—” Grandpa Ning nodded and trailed off, but he still didn’t understand, so he could only greet him, “Come in and sit down.”

Chen Yuncheng wanted Ning Junyan to let go of his hand a little bit, but Ning Junyan made it worse, he slipped fingers between Chen Yuncheng’s fingers to hold him tighter, led him to the sofa, and sat down side by side.

Grandpa Ning kept looking at the two of them, and when they sat down, he asked Ning Junyan, “Didn’t you say you were bringing your girlfriend back?”

Ning Junyan said, “I never said that, I said I would bring my lover back.”

Grandpa Ning seemed to be taken aback for a moment. He looked Chen Yuncheng up and down, and after a while, he looked at Ning Junyan with a question.

Ning Junyan nodded, “This is Yuncheng, the person I told you about.”

The old man was actually very surprised, but he had excellent self-control. He nodded at first and thought for a while on his own with a puzzled expression. Then he seemed to understand and nodded again, “I see.”

At this time, Chen Yuncheng hurriedly gave the present to Grandpa Ning; it was a pot of beautifully packaged rice wine, which was not cheap either.

Grandpa Ning accepted it with a smile, expressed his thanks repeatedly, and then asked the housekeeper if it was time to start dinner and told them to go to the dining room for dinner.

During the course of the meal, Grandpa Ning kept chatting with Chen Yuncheng, with a very gentle attitude, like a casual conversation between an amiable elder and a junior, without a word of difficulty.

Chen Yuncheng gradually relaxed and chatted a lot with the old man as they ate.

Later, while Chen Yuncheng got up to go to the bathroom, Ning Junyan asked his grandfather, “Do you like him?”

Grandpa shook his head and sighed, “It’s not a matter of liking him or not, you have to think about it anyway.”

Ning Junyan picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth lightly, and said, “I’ve thought about it for a long time.”

After dinner, they accompanied Grandpa Ning back to the living room to sit down and drink tea.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, footsteps came from outside the house, and then someone opened the door and came in, calling out, “Dad.”

The people in the living room turned their heads to look at the same time and saw that the person who opened the door was Shu Rong, and the person who followed Shu Rong was Ning Zhanghong who was supported by Ning Zhangyu.

The scene instantly became awkward.

Chen Yuncheng slowly stood up, and as he did so, Ning Junyan took his hand and stood up with him.

When Shu Rong saw Chen Yuncheng sitting in the living room, Shu Rong’s face changed undisguisedly, and the little smile that had been on her face vanished into thin air.

The two siblings, Ning Zhanghong and Ning Zhangyu who were following Shu Rong, both showed surprised expressions and stood at the door, forgetting that they should come in.

It was still Grandpa Ning who said, “Why are you standing in a daze? Come in and sit down when you come back.”

Shu Rong looked at Chen Yuncheng but did not respond.

Ning Zhangyu said at this time, “Big brother and sister-in-law, go in and sit down first.”

Shu Rong moved her body and walked towards the sofa in the living room.

The family sat down by the sofa in the living room in an awkward atmosphere. Grandpa Ning ordered the housekeeper to bring a cup to pour tea, and all were quiet for a time without speaking.

Originally, it was the old man’s birthday tomorrow, and the children didn’t plan to come here today, but because Ning Zhanghong was sick and had just been discharged from the hospital, a distant relative in another place called and said that he would come to celebrate the old man Ning’s birthday and visit Ning Zhanghong at the same time, so Ning Zhanghong and his siblings came over tonight came over, intending to discuss with the old man to book two tables at the restaurant tomorrow instead of preparing at home.

Ning Zhangyu thought Ning Zhanghong was in poor health just after being discharged from the hospital, so she asked her husband to drive to pick up her elder brother and his wife.

Her husband, whose name is Huang Jin, parked the car outside the villa when they arrived and told them to get out first. He went to find a parking space himself and came over two minutes late.

Ning Zhangyu had met Chen Yuncheng in the hospital before. Although Shu Rong didn’t tell her who this young man was, Ning Zhangyu felt that there was some unusual ambiguity between Ning Junyan and him. When she saw the two of them holding hands again just now, she immediately guessed in her heart.

But Huang Jin came in from the outside, but he didn’t know what was going on. He only saw Ning Junyan sitting on the sofa and a young man next to him, and greeted him, “Junyan is here too? Is this your friend?”

Huang Jin just asked casually, Ning Junyan looked up at him and said, “This is my lover, I brought him here to see grandpa.”

Chen Yuncheng froze for a moment and turned his head towards him.

Ning Junyan’s attitude was very calm, and he held Chen Yuncheng’s hand again.

Huang Jin didn’t react for a while and said, “What?”

Ning Zhangyu noticed that Shu Rong’s face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly said to her husband: “You sit down first. So much nonsense.”

Huang Jin said: “No, what did Junyan say just now?” He suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Ning Junyan suddenly gave a very soft laugh and said, “Then let me introduce you formally. This is my lover, Chen Yuncheng.”

Shu Rong stood up from the sofa all of a sudden and said sharply to Ning Junyan, “I think you are crazy!”

Ning Zhangyu quickly stretched out his hand to pull her, “Sister-in-law, there are better words to be said.” After she said that, she quickly winked at Huang Jin again.

Huang Jin came to his senses and hurriedly persuaded, “Sister-in-law, take it easy. There may be some misunderstanding.”

Ning Zhanghong lowered his head and said nothing, so no one could see exactly what expression he was wearing.

Ning Junyan looked up at Shu Rong and said, “Then just think I’m crazy. I didn’t ask anyone’s permission, I just told the elders.”

Ning Zhangyu couldn’t help but say, “Junyan, don’t do this. Do you want to piss your mother off?”

Ning Junyan shook his head, “I’m not angry with her. She’s the one who’s angry with herself. I’m thirty years old, I’m perfectly capable of arranging my own life, and I’m living a good life. I don’t understand why she’s angry.”

Ning Zhanghong finally spoke, and he said in a deep voice, “Your mother is also doing it for your own good.”

Ning Junyan frowned, “So I don’t know if I’m alright, yet she knows?”

Chen Yuncheng sat next to him and reached out to gently tug at Ning Junyan’s sleeve.

Ning Junyan turned to look at him, leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Do you want to go back? Then let’s go.”

After he said this, Ning Junyan stood up, holding Chen Yuncheng’s hand, and said to grandpa, “Grandpa, Yuncheng and I are going back first, and we will come to see you some other day.”

Grandpa Ning was about to nod when Shu Rong roared, “Don’t leave! No one is leaving until we get this straight today!”

Chapter 83

June 25, 2023 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

When Ning Junyan came to pick up Chen Yuncheng, he saw Chen Yuncheng squatting in front of the store feeding stray cats with ham.

There were several stray cats in the trade market, and Chen Yuncheng would feed them whenever he was free. The stray cats recognised him, and they would come close to him when they saw him, and act coquettishly.

When Ning Junyan’s car approached, the two cats in front of Chen Yuncheng ran away at once and hid in the distance. When they saw that there was no threat, the cats rushed back to continue eating the ham sausage on the ground. Ning Junyan opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to Chen Yuncheng’s side.

Chen Yuncheng crouched down and didn’t get up, only tilting his head to look at Ning Junyan.

“Shall we go?” He asked Chen Yuncheng.

Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, “Wait for me for two minutes.” He patiently continued to feed the cat.

Ning Junyan squatted down beside him and looked at the two stray cats in front of him.

Chen Yuncheng turned to look at the smooth lines of his side face and asked, “Do you want to feed them?”

“No,” Ning Junyan refused him mercilessly.

Chen Yuncheng surprisingly found him cute even with his indifferent tone. He looked at Ning Junyan with a smile, and said, “Forget it then.”

After feeding the cat, Chen Yuncheng went into the shop to greet Guan Anlin and then got into the car with Ning Junyan. He sat on the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and asked, “Is your dad okay?”

Ning Junyan started the car and answered him at the same time, “He’s recovering well.”

At first, Chen Yuncheng didn’t know how serious acute aortic dissection was. Later, when he came back to the trade market and chatted with the people in the store next door, he heard that this disease was very dangerous. Even if the operation was successful, it might not necessarily save his life, so he began to feel scared.

Of course, fearing that something might happen to Ning Zhanghong was one thing, but he was also afraid that if Ning Zhanghong really died on Ning Junyan’s operating table, it would have a significant impact on Ning Junyan’s psyche. So he couldn’t help but ask Ning Zhanghong how he was recovering, hoping that Ning Zhanghong could recover and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

After knowing that Ning Zhanghong was doing well, Chen Yuncheng asked again, “What about your mother? Is she still angry?”

Ning Junyan replied, “Yes, she won’t even talk to me when she saw me today.”

“I’m sorry,” Chen Yuncheng apologised earnestly.

Ning Junyan glanced at him, “None of it was your fault.”

Chen Yuncheng said, “It was Guan Anlin who was rude to her that made her angry.”

Ning Junyan said, “Well, that’s why none of it was your fault.”

“Is she still doing business with Yu Jie?”

“She said she wasn’t.”

Chen Yuncheng nodded, “That’s good.”

In the evening, Ning Junyan received a call from the hospital and temporarily participated in a long-distance video consultation. He went to the study room and left Chen Yuncheng alone in the bedroom.

Chen Yuncheng lay on the bed and played some games without paying much attention. After a while, he felt bored and put the phone aside, sat cross-legged on the bedside and pulled the iron chain with his hands.

A leather collar hangs from the end of the chain and hung against the wall over the pillow.

Chen Yuncheng started to untie the collar from the iron chain, looked at it in his hand, got up and walked to the door to look outside. He heard Ning Junyan’s voice from the study, and it was estimated that the video over there would not be over for a while. So he slipped the collar around his neck, fumbled for the clasp, and went into the bathroom to look in the mirror.

The short-haired young man in the mirror had a straight nose, soft eyebrows, and a black leather collar around his neck. For some reason, he looked particularly sexy. Chen Yuncheng was not very interested in Ning Junyan’s messy sexual fetishes, but sometimes he thought it was a good spice in bed.

After all, when Ning Junyan was in high spirits, Chen Yuncheng would be aroused by him, and the feeling would be particularly strong.

He looked around in the mirror and after a while returned to the bed to take off the collar and hung it back on the chain.

The matter on Ning Junyan’s side was not over yet, and Chen Yuncheng didn’t want to disturb him, so he lay down on the bed and played games for a while. Chen Yuncheng then felt tired and fell asleep, leaving a lamp on beside the bed for Ning Junyan.

However, this sleep did not last long. Chen Yuncheng was awakened by Ning Junyan’s kiss.

He opened his eyes, Ning Junyan was kneeling on one leg by the bed, and his fingers unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a large part of his firm chest. When he saw that Chen Yuncheng woke up, Ning Junyan bent down and continued to kiss him while unbuttoning, and after a while, he threw the shirt he had taken off to the side.

Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and hugged Ning Junyan’s neck. After being kissed by him for a while, his cheeks and neck felt itchy, so he avoided it with a smile and reached out to touch the phone, “What time is it?”

Ning Junyan grabbed his hand and fixed it above his head. Instead of answering the question of what time is it, he said, “Did you play with my collar?”

Chen Yuncheng was stunned momentarily, then looked up at the collar hanging on the bed, “How do you know?”

Ning Junyan stroked his hair and said in a low and slow voice, “There is surveillance in the room.”

Chen Yuncheng felt that he was suddenly awake, subconsciously raised his head to look for the surveillance in the room, and said, “Are you crazy? What kind of surveillance is installed in your own room?”

Ning Junyan watched him panic momentarily, clasped the buckle of the iron chain with one hand and took off the collar. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared quickly, “The buckle you put on is different from where it was before.”

Chen Yuncheng looked at his expression and knew that Ning Junyan was teasing him, so he let out a slight sigh of relief.

But immediately afterwards, Ning Junyan put the collar on Chen Yuncheng’s neck, “Just keep wearing it if you like it.”

“Of course not!” Chen Yuncheng twisted his neck and said, “People will definitely think I’m crazy.”

Ning Junyan pressed Chen Yuncheng’s hand with his left hand, hooked up the collar with the fingers of his right hand, inserted his fingertips into the narrow gap between Chen Yuncheng’s neck and the collar, rubbed it with his fingertips, and said, “You can engrave your name here, do you want it inside or outside? If you engrave it on the outside, everyone will know that you are mine.”

Chen Yuncheng looked at him without saying a word, with a slight smile in his eyes.

Ning Junyan pulled the collar, “Speak.”

Chen Yuncheng’s head was pulled up, then fell on the pillow again. He couldn’t help but say, “It hurts!”

Ning Junyan said coldly, “Weak.”

Chen Yuncheng struggled to free his hands from Ning Junyan’s and then stretched out two hands towards him.

This was a gesture of asking for a kiss. Ning Junyan quickly bent down and kissed him. After a long kiss, Ning Junyan held him on his lap, kissed his Adam’s apple through the collar, and said, ” Come on your knees.”

Chen Yuncheng didn’t reply, and he felt a little awkward and hesitant.

Ning Junyan said, “You promised me, but you deceived me again.” Those words were obviously coquettish words, but his tone was low and serious.

Chen Yuncheng remembered what he said in his office that day about trying it out with him, tried to convince himself to make up his mind, and warned him, “Don’t mess around.”

Ning Junyan looked up at him, “I love you so much, I can’t bear it.”

Chen Yuncheng blushed, first hugged him and kissed him forcefully, then turned around and knelt down on the bed reluctantly.

For a moment, Chen Yuncheng thought he really loved Ning Junyan so much that he couldn’t refuse any messy request, and even if he refused, he still couldn’t help but agree after a long time passed. He later thought that his bottom line was something that was constantly being broken, and in the end, he would find that there was actually no bottom limit and no upper limit.

It was early in the morning when it ended. Chen Yuncheng couldn’t bear it physically and refused to keep up with Ning Junyan. Ning Junyan’s energy was bottomless. As long as Chen Yuncheng didn’t refuse, he wouldn’t stop easily.

Chen Yuncheng didn’t even have the strength to get up to take a bath and was panting slightly while being held in Ning Junyan’s arms, feeling the leather collar sticking to his skin with sweat.

He tried to untie it with his fingers but gave up after trying several times without success.

Ning Junyan’s breathing calmed down quickly, and his palms were pressed against Chen Yuncheng’s lower abdomen, hugging him and leaning against his body.

“It’s my grandfather’s birthday next month. Want to come with me to meet him?” Ning Junyan asked in Chen Yuncheng’s ear.

Chen Yuncheng subconsciously refused, “No, I can’t.” He had the psychological trauma of meeting Ning Junyan’s family.

Ning Junyan said, “My grandfather is different. He wants to meet you.”

Ever since Ning Junyan mentioned that there was someone with his family last time, his grandfather called Ning Junyan several times and asked him to bring his girlfriend back for dinner.

Chen Yuncheng actually had no hope that any of Ning Junyan’s family members would accept him. Still, he didn’t want to disappoint Ning Junyan, so he hesitated and said, “Your family will all be back on your grandpa’s birthday, and I’m afraid of making a scene then.”

“No, we’ll go back alone. We don’t need to see anyone else.” No one else mattered in his eyes.

Chen Yuncheng looked at him, “Is that okay?”

Ning Junyan said, “Of course.”

Chen Yuncheng still hesitated, but Ning Junyan did not urge him to make a decision.

The skin around his neck, where the collar was attached, began to itch, and once again, Chen Yuncheng reached out to untie it. This time Ning Junyan helped him and quickly took off the collar.

Chen Yuncheng’s neck was a little red from the restraint, but it was not serious.

Ning Junyan lowered his head to gently kiss the skin around Chen Yuncheng’s Adam’s apple.

Chen Yuncheng suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Junyan half-jokingly, “You don’t really install surveillance cameras in the room, do you?”

Ning Junyan’s kissing stopped suddenly. He propped up his upper body on his elbows and looked down at him.

Chen Yuncheng observed his expression and saw nothing unusual.

Afterwards, Ning Junyan turned his head to look at the top of the closet. Chen Yuncheng followed his gaze and saw nothing, not even an ornament that could accommodate a pinhole camera.

Ning Jun slowly turned his gaze back, inserted the fingers of his right hand into the middle of Chen Yuncheng’s hair, supported it against Chen Yuncheng’s ear, and said two words in a hoarse voice, “I don’t.”

Chapter 28

June 19, 2023 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

There was a lot of space in the extended car, so after Chu Yu finished speaking, he leaned on the backrest and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, Xu Ye heard rustling sounds, and the seat beside him moved.

The man’s starry eyes opened slightly to see the man kneeling at his feet without an inch of clothing. A small shiver of nervousness and embarrassment washed over his pale skin as he looked at him with pursed lips and dark eyes. As Xu Ye saw the man looking at him, he straightened his back a little awkwardly.

“Say what you want to say.” Chu Yu opened his mouth.

Xu Ye opened his mouth in panic, “Master, I was wrong…”

“I’ve heard this sentence before.” The man sat with his arms crossed. His black pupils were calm and unwavering, “I’ll only give you a minute, so you better hurry up and say something I haven’t heard before.”

Xu Ye’s face was flushed red, and his eyes flickered as he eagerly said, “Master…you can punish me however you want. I promise I won’t make this kind of mistake again…can you please don’t be angry…” What made him feel alarmed was Chu Yu’s attitude. Those warmthless gazes were no different from how he was looking at the landscape outside the window.

The second young master Chu raised his hand and looked at his watch, and only after a minute had passed did he speak again, “First of all, as a slave, everything about you belongs to me completely, and I can punish you in any way as a matter of course. Secondly, your assurance is meaningless to me. In the end, you know very well what has upset me. Since you did it, you should have the self-awareness to bear everything. A word of advice for you, whatever I do to you in the future, you had better not struggle unnecessarily, for that will make me even more unhappy.” After he said that, he closed his eyes again, “Stay quiet, or I will leave you naked on the road.”

“…Yes, Master.” Xu Ye lowered his eyelids, hiding all his emotions.

The car mat was soft, and the knees won’t hurt when kneeling. What was scary, however, was the time.

The drive from Qianchuan back to City H took at least two and a half hours.

Xu Ye just knelt quietly without moving. When the car stopped, Xu Ye’s legs were numb, and he couldn’t feel anything.

There was a noise outside the car door, and he trembled in panic. The glass of the car window was dark, so the inside of the car could not be seen from the outside. If the driver opened the door, his naked body would be shown in front of others. There was a buzzing in Xu Ye’s head. He looked at the man in front of him with a blue face and a pleading look in his eyes, “Master, can I be allowed to put on my clothes…”

Chu Yu sat leisurely and glanced at him indifferently.

The sound of footsteps outside the car door was getting closer and closer, Xu Ye was so panicked that his eyes even turned red, and he kept saying, “Please… Master, please…”

The drivers of the Chu family were all people with vast experience, and those who follow Chu Yu were even more clever. When he saw the second young master put down the partition screen while driving, he had already guessed what was going on in the back seat and had already notified the bodyguard to wait outside the car. Who would have the guts to pull the door without the second young master’s orders?

Chu Yu was silent for a moment, then opened the window by a gap, and immediately a bodyguard waiting outside the car door came over, “Bring me the box I left in the living room, plus a blanket.”

In no time at all, the items were delivered. When Chu Yu pressed the car window to take the things, the tall bodyguards looked away and did not dare to look inside. Even so, Xu Ye still shrank into a ball with his face reddened and his head bowed.

“I give you the right to choose, slave.” The man put the light blanket on the back seat and then opened the cardboard box in his hand. What stood out was a brown leather collar, two fingers wide, with a ring of diamonds neatly inlaid in the centre and a small silver bell hanging from the front. Unlike the one he had worn before, this collar did not have a metal clasp, and the tightness couldn’t be adjusted. Instead, it has a snap-on silver metal interface with the English abbreviation C.Y. engraved on it. It seemed that this collar was customized according to the neck circumference.

“I won’t allow you to wear clothes.” The man put the cardboard box on the seat and said clearly, “If you want to wear this blanket when you get off, put it on.”

He seemed to be given a choice, but in fact, there was no room for negotiation. Chu Yu’s methods were straightforward and neat, just like when he took off his mask to declare his sovereignty in the club. He wanted to expand the scope of this game, and Xu Ye was powerless to resist.

At this moment, Xu Ye’s gaze shrank suddenly as if being scalded by the collar, and he looked at the man in front of him with a pale face and some despair. This small leather collar was a mark of complete ownership, a mark that showed everyone that he belonged to someone else.

After a long time, he reached out with his eyelids down to take the collar and slowly wrapped it around his fair and slender neck. With a click, it clasped. He hung his head and wrapped his naked body with a thin blanket, his bangs covered his eyes, and the line of his pursed lips was stretched even tighter.

Chu Yu got out of the car and opened the door for himself on his own.

There were some well-trained bodyguards and drivers standing outside the courtyard of Hanguan No. 8. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the car, and when they saw a piece of blanket slowly poking out, they all understood what was happening and moved away.

Xu Ye had been kneeling for too long, and his blood flow was not smooth, so his legs had already gone numb. He couldn’t exert any strength when his feet touched the ground. During the movement, the blanket was torn off a little, exposing the entire right shoulder and collarbone, and of course, the collar around his neck. He panicked and tugged at the only cloth that could cover his body, and the silver bell trembled and jingled as he moved. With a slight flick of his feet, he was already being picked up by the man.

“Ge, you are too merciless.” Chu Xuan leaned against the side of the car, squinting his eyes and teasingly, “It’s pitiful that you can’t even stand up properly.”

Chu Yu glanced at him, “If you have so much free time, why don’t I ask elder brother to transfer you to Tangze to supervise the project?”

Chu Xuan’s expression changed, and he said aggrievedly, “I was arrested early in the morning to be a henchman, and now I’m going to be driven away…” He complained, but he darted into the car and left, apparently fearing that he would be sent to work in a place where birds do not live.

Chu Yu carried Xu Ye upstairs, kicked open the door of the guest room without saying a word, and walked straight into the bathroom before releasing his grip. Before the slave fell into the bathtub, the blanket wrapped around his body had been ripped off. The man raised his hand and threw the blanket on the floor, then lifted his jaw.

Xu Ye didn’t dare to move and let the man’s hand move around his neck. He heard a soft beep, and the collar was taken off.

It turned out that the collar was equipped with a fingerprint lock.

Xu Ye bit his lower lip and knelt silently.

Chu Yu turned the faucet to the maximum. The water poured down from the shower like pouring rain, and Xu Ye couldn’t even open his eyes, and he was slumped in the slippery bathtub. Fortunately, the water temperature was just right and not too cold.

The man tossed the collar on a shelf beside him and looked at Xu Ye, “Wash yourself and come downstairs with it.”

“Yes, Master.” Xu Ye’s voice seemed weak amidst the sound of water.

After Chu Yu left, he leaned his head against the edge of the bathtub and sat with his face up for a while, then raised his arms to cover his eyes and sighed heavily.

The ‘washing’ that man referred to was not just external cleaning. Xu Ye had been on his knees for too long before, and he was so exhausted after doing bowel cleaning and basic lubrication four times. He washed his body several times and dried it. Someone had already placed a pair of white underwear and a set of long clothes by the bed. The loose white cotton and linen texture was very comfortable to wear next to the skin without any decoration on the clothes. The V-shaped neckline was cut low, revealing his collared neck and collarbone. The trousers were lace-up and loose-fitting.

He was not asked to be naked in front of others, which should be regarded as the tolerance of that man. Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and walked down the stairs barefoot. He stopped at the stairs on the first floor, looked at the living room occupied by some strangers with some embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment, turned around and wanted to retreat, but heard a sentence from behind, “Young Master Xu.”

He turned around in surprise, looking at the middle-aged man who was holding a fruit plate and smiling at him. The man nodded slightly to him, with a respectful and gentle attitude, “This is the first time I officially meet you. I am the head butler of this house, Xiao Xun.”

Chu Yu’s… butler?

Xu Ye looked around the entire first floor, Uncle Ye was busy in the kitchen, and there was a young girl helping the cook by his side. The two servants who came down from the second floor saw him standing at the stairs and hurried back with their heads lowered. It was only later that he realised that there were many more people in this house than when he visited the previous few times. He used to be curious about how Chu Yu lived alone before, but now he realised that the man had deliberately let everyone leave during the weekends in consideration of his mental capacity during the training.

Xu Ye pursed his lips, feeling sad and regretful. The man treated him with great care and tenderness. But he had been careless enough to make such a mess and upset the other party. If he hadn’t gone to that ‘family gathering’, the current situation would be completely different…

“Hello.” Xu Ye didn’t know what to say, so he fell silent after holding back the word.

Xiao Xun saw his uneasiness and said with a smile, “The young master is having afternoon tea with the guests over there. Why don’t you come over?”

Xu Ye turned his head and glanced at the living room. The slight friction between the collar on his neck and the skin reminded him of his situation instantly. He lowered his eyes and said softly, “I’ll wait a while…”

“Come here.” His words were interrupted by a sudden low voice. Chu Yu used a commanding tone, which also meant that there was no room for tricks. Although he didn’t mention his name, he knew who Chu Yu was calling. Xu Ye trembled when he heard the voice and raised his head to meet the man’s gaze. There was a heavy sense of oppression coming from the air in those deep black eyes.

Chapter 82

June 18, 2023 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

Yu Jie let go of his hand, and half of his cheeks gradually became red and swollen visible to the naked eye. He pressed his tongue against it, but he didn’t get angry, shook his head at Ning Junyan and then said to Guan Anlin, “Xiao Guan, we might have a misunderstanding.”

But Shu Rong said, “What misunderstanding? Why can’t we talk about it properly? How can you hit someone? Are you a barbarian?”

Guan Anlin glanced at her impatiently, “None of your business, you damn old woman!”

Chen Yuncheng pulled Guan Anlin, looked at Shu Rong, and when she saw her, her face turned livid.

Shu Rong probably hadn’t had much contact with people like Guan Anlin, her chest rose and fell violently, and she asked Ning Junyan, “Is this the friend you made?”

Ning Junyan said indifferently, “He’s not my friend.”

Shu Rong looked at Guan Anlin with an angry face and then turned to Chen Yuncheng.

Chen Yuncheng was about to say something, but Guan Anlin came to his senses first. He remembered that this woman was Ning Junyan’s mother, which was Chen Yuncheng’s evil mother-in-law, so he had to be a little more polite, so he changed his tone and said, “Auntie, it’s none of your business in the first place, who is he to you? Are you his accomplice in drug manufacturing and trafficking?”

Shu Rong didn’t speak, but her complexion became uglier. For a while, she didn’t know whether she should respond to the title “Auntie” or to the “drug manufacturing and trafficking” thing.

Yu Jie frowned, his eyes swept across the faces of Shu Rong and Ning Junyan—mother and son as if he had made a choice, and said to Guan Anlin, “Xiao Guan, we will explain the misunderstanding between us slowly.” Then he said to Shu Rong “I originally came to visit President Ning today, but it’s inconvenient now, please help me wish him a speedy recovery, and I’ll come back another day when I’m free.” He picked up the flowers on the ground and handed them to Shu Rong.

Shu Rong hesitated, reached out to take it, and only nodded.

Yu Jie was still able to smile at Ning Junyan at this time, turned around and walked away steadily.

Shu Rong gave Guan Anlin and Chen Yuncheng a sharp look, turned around and opened the door of the ward, walked in, and then closed the door heavily from the inside.

Chen Yuncheng looked at Ning Junyan, and it happened that Ning Junyan was also looking at him.

Ning Junyan said, “I’ll see you off.”

Chen Yuncheng pulled Guan Anlin a step slower, not wanting to run into Yu Jie again, Guan Anlin felt annoyed and cursed in a low voice.

“There’s nothing you can do about him now,” Chen Yuncheng said, “If you really hit him hard, won’t you be arrested and put back in jail?”

Guan Anlin said indignantly, “So just drop it?”

Chen Yuncheng did not speak.

When Guan Anlin was first arrested by the police, Chen Yuncheng did not give up. He wanted to find out about Yu Jie who was the person behind Guan Anlin. He tried to find clues by himself, asked Zhang Wenyong for help, and even asked the police, but all to no avail. Now that Guan Anlin had been released from prison for two years, it was naturally more difficult to arrest Yu Jie.

Guan Anlin also knew in his heart that after he came out, that’s why he didn’t try to settle accounts with Yu Jie. If he hadn’t met Yu Jie by chance today, this matter might not be resolved.

As he said, he was stupid at the beginning, and he paid the price for his stupidity.

Walking all the way to the elevator, Chen Yuncheng said to Ning Junyan, “Your mother is angry.”

Ning Junyan let out an “En” and didn’t seem to care much. He stopped and said, “I won’t accompany you downstairs.”

Chen Yuncheng nodded, “U’m going to work.”

Ning Junyan suddenly reached out, hooked the back of his neck and lowered his head to kiss him on the lips, then quickly left and said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon.”

Chen Yuncheng smiled and nodded.

Guan Anlin got angry for a moment and felt that Ning Junyan had insulted Chen Yuncheng by kissing Chen Yuncheng in front of him, but soon he saw Chen Yuncheng smiling and felt that his anger was unreasonable. So he suppressed it and only urged Chen Yuncheng to say goodbye, “Let’s go.”

Ning Junyan stood where he was, watched them enter the elevator, and waited for the elevator door to close before turning around and leaving.

He went back to the single ward where Ning Zhanghong stayed, and when he opened the door to enter, he saw Shu Rong sitting on the chair beside the bed with anger still on his face.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, Shu Rong turned her head to look at Ning Junyan and quickly turned back without saying anything.

Ning Zhanghong lay on the hospital bed with a tired face and simply closed his eyes.

Ning Junyan asked Shu Rong, “Are you having dinner at the hospital?”

Shu Rong stood up immediately, and she asked Ning Junyan, “Look who are those people?”

Ning Junyan said, “Are you talking about Boss Yu?”

Shu Rong choked for a moment and quickly said, “That person just now wasn’t your friend, it was Chen Yuncheng’s friend, right?”

Ning Junyan did not answer her question,

Shu Rong took two steps forward. Since Ning Zhanghong’s emergency operation that day until now, she has had no time to talk to Ning Junyan alone. At this moment, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore and asked, “What exactly is your relationship with that Chen Yuncheng?”

Ning Junyan walked to the window, arranged a few bouquets on the window sill, and asked casually, “What do you think?”

“What do I think?” Shu Rong sounded anxious, “I think you guys aren’t normal!”

Ning Junyan turned his head and saw that under Ning Zhang Hong’s closed eyelids, his eyes rolled gently but did not open. He looked at Shu Rong again, “I think it’s quite normal, falling in love, sleeping together, getting married. What else do you want to know?”

Shu Rong’s face turned red in an instant, she froze in place for two seconds before turning around to grab Ning Zhanghong’s arm, “Listen to what your son is saying?”

Ning Junyan frowned, “Don’t touch him. He shouldn’t be grabbed like that.”

But Ning Zhanghong finally opened his eyes and said weakly, “Don’t quarrel. Speak up if you have something to say.”

Shu Rong quickly gave up on Ning Zhanghong. She walked up to Ning Junyan, grabbed Ning Junyan’s arm, and said to him angrily, “Have you gone mad? Even if you don’t care that he’s a punk with no parents, he’s a man; why are you in love with a man? I worked so hard to raise you and provide you with the best conditions for your education, not so you can fall in love with a man and get married!”

Ning Junyan looked down at Shu Rong that was grabbing his hand. She grabbed him so hard that her fingernails turned white. Ning Junyan asked her in a calm tone, “And what are you in it for? What did you want to get from raising me after all your hard work?”

Shu Rong said, “I want you to be good, I want you to be talented, I want you to marry a woman of comparable condition, have two children, and I want you to have a better life than others!”

Ning Junyan said, “I have a better life with Chen Yuncheng than anyone else.”

“You’re crazy,” Shu Rong turned around and returned to the bed, and said to Ning Zhanghong, “Your son is crazy. His head probably hasn’t been healed, you should get out of the hospital quickly and find a specialist to look at him.”

Ning Zhanghong sighed and said, “Junyan, this is not right.”

Ning Junyan said to him, “You’d better get some rest, and whether it’s right or not will be discussed when you’re discharged from the hospital.”

Ning Zhanghong looked at Shu Rong, “Don’t worry, the child will be taught slowly.”

Shu Rong said angrily, “How else am I supposed to teach? Are you going to teach me?”

Ning Zhanghong simply closed his eyes, and his brow furrowed as he stopped talking.

Ning Junyan said to Shu Rong, “Stop arguing with him, don’t you want him to be discharged from the hospital?”

Shu Rong finally calmed down.

Ning Junyan walked towards the door and said to Shu Rong before opening the door, “That Yu Jie, last time Yuncheng asked me to tell you that his background is not clean, and told you not to associate with him.”

Shu Rong folded her arms and didn’t look at Ning Junyan, “I know what’s going on in my mind, I have no business dealings with him.” After she finished speaking, she couldn’t hold back and said again, “And what’s with Chen Yuncheng? How could his friend speak to me like that?”

Ning Junyan said, “He didn’t say anything wrong. What’s it to you if he beats up Yu Jie? In the future, when you come across such things, don’t get involved in nosy things. Just stay away from them.”

Shu Rong was almost trembling with anger at his words and took deep breaths to calm down.

Ning Junyan had already left the ward and closed the door gently.

On the way back, Guan Anlin was still driving, and Chen Yuncheng sat in the passenger seat.

Guan Anlin thought about it and felt a little worried. He asked Chen Yuncheng, “Is what I said to Ning Junyan’s mother unpleasant? Why is she so angry?”

Chen Yuncheng laughed a little suddenly, propped his head lazily with one hand against the window, and said, “It’s alright.”

Guan Anlin was puzzled, “How can you still laugh? I’m afraid of offending someone, and it will cause you more trouble in the future.”

Chen Yuncheng sighed and said, “I didn’t expect her to accept me either.”

From the way Shu Rong had sneered at him during New Year’s Eve to the way Shu Rong had ignored him on the day of Ning Zhanghong’s surgery, Chen Yuncheng already knew very well in his heart that no matter what he did, Shu Rong would not accept him and still harboured an inexplicable hostility towards him.

His courtesy and care for Shu Rong stem from his nature, but it did not mean that he had unrealistic delusions about Shu Rong. Therefore, he was not too concerned about whether or not Guan Anlin would offend Shu Rong and even felt a little secretly funny when he saw Shu Rong’s face change.

Guan Anlin asked him, “Then what are your plans?”

Chen Yuncheng said, “No plan, I’m going to leave it to Ning Junyan.” After he said this, he suddenly realized that Ning Junyan was too reliable in his heart. No matter how Shu Rong obstructed him, he would always trusts Ning Junyan. There was absolutely no way Ning Junyan would give up on him because of that.

Notes:
Good thing Chen Yuncheng is not the typical I need your mom and dad to accept me kind of partner. But it must also be because Ning Junyan give him good assurance too
